Rabid skunks prompts need for pet owners' awareness
The recent discovery of two rabid skunks in Haskell is something officials are taking seriously, said Mayor Jeff Arey.
"Because of this, we're encouraging people to get their pets vaccinated against rabies," he said. "Previously we've partnered with the Humane Society to hold rabies clinics, but we're putting more emphasis on this year's clinic."
The drive-through, low-cost clinic is scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, on the parking lot of Harmony Grove High School, 2621 Arkansas 229 in Haskell.
"Every year Haskell partners with the Humane Society and puts this on," Arey said. "This year it's just more important than ever considering that rabies has been found in our area."
The cost for each animal — dog or cat — will be $10 for the rabies vaccine; $10 for the annual shots; plus an additional $10 for dogs for bordetella (kennel cough).
All payments must be made in cash, Arey noted.
Dr. Eric Jayne, a licensed veterinarian, will be administering all vaccinations.
Local and state Health Department officials have encouraged pet owners to make certain that their pets are up to date with their vaccinations.
Dr. Sue Weinstein, state public health veterinarian, said the two skunks were out during the daytime and displayed abnormal behavior. "The animals were not walking properly and their behavior was clearly not normal for a skunk," Weinstein said.
The two were less than a mile from one another and one was seen near Harmony Grove School, she said.
"We want to get to the point that we're not alarming people unnecessarily, but want to inform them that this is real and that they should have their pets vaccinated by a veterinarian.
"Children should be reminded not to touch wild animals and to stay away from stray pets," she said.
"It's incredible how few people are vaccinating their pets," Weinstein added.
Of the animals requiring quarantine statewide because of exposure to rabid skunks, she noted that 50 percent not only were not current on their vaccinations, but had never been vaccinated; another 32 percent had had a vaccination at some point, but were not current; and only 18 percent were current.
Weinstein said Harmony Grove School officials were given handouts to inform the students about the dangers that rabies poses and the importance of vaccinating pets.
According to the Health Department, rabies is a virus that attacks the brain and spinal cord and is a fatal disease. It is most often seen in Arkansas in skunks and bats. However, cats, dogs, ferrets and livestock also can develop rabies, especially if they are not vaccinated. The rabies virus lives in the saliva (spit) and nervous tissues of infected animals and is spread when they bite or scratch. The virus also may be spread if saliva from an infected animal touches broken skin, open wounds or the lining of the mouth, eyes or nose.
All dogs and cats in Arkansas are required to be vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian. This not only protects the animal, but also acts as a barrier between the wildlife exposures of rabies and people, as pets are more likely to be exposed to a rabid skunk directly than are humans.

This Boston Gear Bost-Bronz powdered bronze plain sleeve bearing supports radial loads. It is made of Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) 841 sintered powdered bronze for strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. The bearing is vacuum-impregnated with SAE 30 oil to provide a lubricating film over the bearing surface. It has a maximum load value of 2,000 psi (pounds per square inch), a maximum velocity value of 1,200 sfpm (surface feet per minute), and a maximum pressure velocity (PV) value of 50,000. The bearing operates at temperatures ranging from 10 to 220 degrees F (-12 to 104 degrees C). This flanged sleeve bearing meets ASTM International standard B438-73 for quality assurance, and is suitable for use in various applications such as automobiles, pumps, office machines, and home appliances, among others.
Plain bearings provide low-friction sliding contact for relative motion between parts of a machine. They are the simplest type of bearing, with no rolling elements, and there are three basic types of plain bearings: radial plain bearings (also called sleeve bearings or bushings) to support rotating or reciprocating shafts, thrust bearings (also called washers) to support axial loads on shafts, and linear bearings to support and guide the motion of parts in a straight line. Flanged sleeve bearings have a flange on one end to support axial loads. Spherical plain bearings are radial bearings that allow for angular misalignment of the shaft. Plain bearings are made from durable, low-friction materials such as sintered or cast bronze alloys, plastic, or a combination of a metal shell and a plastic bearing surface. They can be lubricated externally or by a lubricant embedded in the bearing material. Plain bearings are used in automobiles, construction and mining equipment, textile manufacturing equipment, and robotics, among others.
Boston Gear manufactures gear drives, variable speed drives, clutches, and components such as sprockets and bearings. The company, founded in 1877 and headquartered in Charlotte, NC, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001 for quality assurance.

As in her work on the Vietnam War Memorial so many years ago, the contemporary pieces of artist Maya Lin hit the emotional nail right on the head. In her exhibition Systematic Landscapes, which is showing now at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, the famous artist remixes topographies and terrains into real, walkable places ready to be explored and dissected by willing spectators. From Bodies of Water, representing landlocked saltwater seas with stacked plywood, to her large wire rendition of the San Francisco Bay Area hanging near the new California Academy of Sciences, her landscape representations combine our scientific tendency to chart landscapes without compromising the wisdom and wonder of studying natural phenomena.
The central figure for the exhibit is the massive 2 x 4 Landscape, a rolling mound made of an undulating mass of yep, two-by-four pieces of wood. Other works including Water Line, a topographic study of an underwater canyon using quarter-inch aluminum tubes, and Blue Lake Pass, a mountain ridge of sorts, places visitors in real-life versions of what we normally perceive as computer models. With an astonishing level of detail and respect for material, Lin transforms these rigid, systematic aspects of our culture into an object that forces viewers to think about their relationship to the scale and shape of their surroundings.
Not too far, just across the park in fact, Where the Land Meets the Sea hangs outside the west wing of San Francisco's new California Academy of Sciences. A wired topographic map of the city, the piece is a curvy, steely representation of the ups and downs in elevation that exist in the Bay Area. Hanging aloft cafe chairs and a nearby sculpture garden, the lines seem to turn and run together, like a gleeful stick drawing, if you stare at it head on. At the same time, the entire landscape looms above visitors like some sort of guardian.
Systematic Landscapes at the de Young Museum will be on display until January. Simple and thoughtful, the exhibition manages to apply scientific tools normally used for quantifying or analyzing landscapes to inspire visitors to stand in awe of the landscapes being represented.

Some say The Allman Brothers live under his helmet, where they'll rouse you from slumber by playing "Jessica," and that he projects the time on the wall using spheres of hot gas from Alpha Centauri. All we know is it's The goddamn Stig Projector Alarm Clock.
I'm not sure how I'd feel about having The Stig watching me sleep, but either way, this is no doubt a step up from my current clock radio, which I've had since the seventh grade. Of course, it's probably made in China and takes 3 AA batteries, but at least it's sort of reasonably priced at 40 bucks on Newegg.

Hello, Minnow!
At the moment we've landed on 'Minnow' because I liked the sound of most names starting with M, and the word is fun to say or sing-song, with a nice kind of weird, slanted symmetry. We'll see if it sticks!

Business leaders of the area were invited to the Teen Challenge of the Four States fourth annual Business and Professional Persons Breakfast at the center Tuesday morning.
The event included breakfast, a guest speaker, an award presented to an area business, information about Teen Challenge of the Four States, and a testimony by one of the students.
"The gentlemen that have been serving you today are all students of our program," said Jim Lowans, executive director of Teen Challenge of the Four States. "We do use the term students instead of clients, but each of the men that are in our program are here today because they have battled extended drug and/or alcohol addictions in their lives, of many of them starting at a very early ages and have battled them for many years, have tried to get free from them in various forms."
Nationally, Teen Challenge started in 1958 as David Wilkerson, a preacher with a mission to convert gang members, found a new mission in giving them a place to restart their lives. Today, the organization helps residents overcome addictions through its 14-to-16 month program.
"Because our program is a 14-month long program, so obviously if someone comes into our program, number one, they are pretty desperate to get help to take a slice of 14 months out of their life," he said. "Then number two, if they are going to complete our program, they have to be very committed. Because it is not an easy road to not only to take 14 months out of your life, but then to commit to the guidelines and the rules and regulations that go along with it. It is a tough battle, particularly from someone that is basically used to living by their own rules and doing what they want to do when, when they want to do it, it doesn't matter who they hurt. Then, all of a sudden, they are brought into a situation where they are told they get up at 6 or 6:30 a.m., they got to bed at this time, this is what you do here and there throughout the time period. It is a real challenge for them to make that commitment. Our success rate has been documented in three major studies of over 80 percent of the men and women that finish our programs do not return to a lifestyle of drugs and/or alcohol. And there is not another program out there that can boast of such a high success rate. But it is attributed to the commitment these guys make. We believe in having members that graduate Teen Challenge come back and work in the program."
One of the students is Ted, who gave a testimony to the group.
"I was 17 years old whenever I started the addiction that I am battling with now, but before that, I was a young kid playing with drugs and stuff like that," Ted said. "But it wasn't until I was 17 that I can actually can say that I heavily got addicted to where it was a real problem in my life that was affecting me in all ways. I smoked marijuana, I have done crank, done cocaine, done LSD, mushrooms, about everything that back in my age was everything was everywhere."
At the age of 17, Ted was involved in a car accident.
"There was a girl killed who was driving, we hit headlight to headlight and so I ended up going through the floorboard of the car, that is what broke both legs, torn my shoulder off," he said. "I had a friend with me who more or less walked away. But I was severely hurt and, of course, she died. I did almost a year in the hospital."
He got saved in 2006. In January of this year, he came to Teen Challenge of the Four States.
"Until I came to Teen Challenge, I was kind of bouncing back and forth on and off," Ted said. "Basically the high point for me is being here and being able to rebuild my relationship with God. And it because of places like this that people like me are able to do that."
Before coming to Teen Challenge, he went to another place.
"I did one of these (facilities) before, it wasn't this one, but I had done one that was supposed to be faith-based but it wasn't," he said.
The guest speaker of the event was Dr. Jim Cummins, vice president of finance at Crowder College.
"We talked a little bit about the fact that alcoholism and drug addiction affect many families, it affects students that we deal with in education," Cummins said. "It is such a blessing that Teen Challenge is able to introduce them to God and a faith-based delivery. It is such a blessing. I shared the story of my childhood growing up, just idolizing my grandfather and really never knew until he was gone that he battled alcoholism. Just the blessing that he was in my life and the work that Teen Challenge does so hopefully these men that come through here maybe their life won't be shortened by alcoholism and they can live a good, clean life and enjoy their children and grandchildren."
Cummins told the business leaders to continue the support.
"Teen Challenge is such a wonderful organization, we are fortunate to have in town and just hope that people will continue to support them and just thankful for their ministry," he said.
Cummins also thanked the staff of the center.
"The Lord told his disciples in Luke 9:2, 'and He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick,'" he said. "Teen Challenge is carrying out command by teaching God as the great healer. My hope is through your work here at Teen Challenge that these men will get to see their children and grandchildren grow up and do great things. And that each member of their family will remember them as strong, clear minded Christian that loved life."
For those who have a drug or alcohol addiction, Ted offers some advice.
"I would to say to addicts out there if you are really, really wanting to be sober and wanting to change, this program would be the one to get into," Ted said. "Because we are faith based, we do push God and the Holy Spirit on you, we want you to save your life. And if you are really serious then this is the place to come. If you are not, I wouldn't even show up."
Lowans also presented Clark Funeral Home with a special award called the Friend of Teen Challenge Appreciation Award during the breakfast.
"We want to do this each year at our breakfast," said Lowans. "This certificate is presented to Clark Funeral Home for your support to Teen Challenge of the Four States, Neosho. They not only do they support us financially with donations, but they have the willingness to utilize our students in many different jobs for them. We really appreciate the trust."

Let's Rock with Bugaboo by Diesel
Let's Rock with Bugaboo by Diesel
2016-03-10 - We're thrilled to reveal one of this year's most anticipated arrivals: our third Bugaboo by Diesel collection. This time we've created a new and cutting-edge take on the Bugaboo Bee³ stroller… The all-new Bugaboo by Diesel Rock collection!
Born to be wild…
The third and last collection of the three-year collaboration between Diesel and Bugaboo celebrates rock 'n' roll – one of the Diesel brand's core values. The result is an unexpected and daring design that will not go unnoticed. This one is especially made for those who are born to be brave!
The Other Night Club: your kids host the party
In true Bugaboo by Diesel style, we step into the world of fashionable parenting and explore those almost unbearable moments that parents face with a smile. As all parents know, a newborn can play havoc with your late night adventures… While you used to spend your 'rocker days' at nightclubs and rooftop parties, your kids now host the party. Welcome to the other nightclub, the one that starts when you want to sleep but your kids keep you up all night. They might run the show these days but it doesn't mean you have to take that leather jacket off: long live rock 'n' roll!
Bugaboo by Diesel Rock Collection
The Bugaboo by Diesel Bee3 comes in a black anodized chassis, Diesel wheelcaps, grey/silver-colored (functional) buttons and many rock-inspired details. The backrest tattoo, for example, boasts Diesel's famous slogan 'Only the Brave' and has been laser-cut into the top layer of the plastic. Additionally, the Bassinet Tailored Fabric Set for the Bugaboo Bee3 and the Bugaboo by Diesel Footmuff feature rock-inspired patches. The Bugaboo by Diesel Footmuff is the perfect way to add a rebellious touch to any Bugaboo stroller.
The military-inspired Bugaboo by Diesel Cameleon3 and matching accessories from the first collection, as well as the denim-dressed Bugaboo Buffalo, Bugaboo Donkey Tailored Fabric Set and matching bag from the second collection, will remain available online and in store until December 2016.

Last week my "Open Letter to Kari Bales" somehow became the news. I was very aware that Kari Bales was the queen and I was merely standing in as her first runner-up in her absence. But I was happy to do that, and honored to bring military spouses and their silent sacrifice into the momentary spotlight.
However, that honor and excitement turned to worry and dread when Miguel Almaguer and the NBC news crew came into my house for the interview. As the cameraman was making some adjustments I sat watching the crew erect foreign-looking paraphernalia in my kitchen. The lights flipped on and I was suddenly overcome by the enormous weight and responsibility of the words I was about to speak. It's one thing to dump my soul into a computer processor; it's another thing entirely to force the words to out of my brain into the lens of a camera, all while looking at a hunky reporter I've only watched in sixty-inch high-definition.
The big fuzzy microphone hanging over my head felt like the day I drove away from the hospital with my newborn daughter strapped into her huge car seat, looking like a cashew bundled in green fluff. I couldn't believe they actually trusted me. I looked up and wondered if they might konk me on the head with the mic if I answered incorrectly.
"Okay, now I'm nervous," I told Miguel. "Don't be," he said. "It's just like having a conversation. You'll be great."
But it didn't feel like just a conversation. It felt like I was speaking on behalf of military spouses everywhere: all ten million bajillion of them. I may have been First Runner-Up to Kari Bales, but I was suddenly Miss Military Spouse USA. The cameraman fiddled with various items in the background and it gave me a moment to breathe. Just breathe, I told myself. But it still felt more like an asthma attack than breathing.
As Miguel made one last call, my breathing finally slowed and I concentrated on the fact that the cold air rushing into my lungs was coming back out warmer than it had entered. This was evidence that I was still alive. Then, it hit me: this story wasn't about me. In fact, it wasn't even about my letter. It was about the national response to my letter. YOUR response to my letter.
Suddenly the weight to perform blew away as I exhaled, and I was amongst all of you. And I was proud of you. I've never felt such pride before, not even peering up into the night sky under fireworks on the Fourth of July. Not even standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier cruising effortlessly under the Golden Gate Bridge. Not even watching sailors stop, one by one, to salute the flag before running down the gangplank to hug and squeeze their children, some of whom they were meeting for the very first time.
And then that pride, that warm air … it made me smile. YOU made me smile. At that moment the producer said, "Lori, look over here!" and she unwittingly captured that moment by snapping this photo:
So this is my thank you card to all of you. Think of it as my acceptance speech for being Kari Bales' first runner-up. Because many of you have said thank you to me in your comments of support for Kari, but I hope what you realize is that by reading, forwarding, tweeting, and writing, you are the ones that made a difference in the life of a military spouse. You are the ones who shaped a national conversation. You are the ones who voted Kari Bales most likely to succeed.
To view the final result of that NBC Nightly News interview about you, my readers, go here:
NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, "Silent Rank" by Miguel Almaguer ~ March 23, 2012
If you've been reading my blog for very long, you knew I would do something ridiculous. Well I'm not going to disappoint you by failing to self-report here as I always do. As Miguel laid his cell phone down on the table, I saw a picture of him under some spotlights looking somewhat like a ring-master taming a lion. Before I knew what was happening, I blurted out, "is that you – at the circus?"
Really? The circus? The circus, Lori? Uhhh. Hide your face. The CIRCUS!?
I smiled stupidly pretending not to notice how dumb I was. He chuckled, and I immediately recognized what appeared to be the White House in the background. The circus spotlights were actually floodlights on a big green lawn. The lion's whip was a fat cord attached to a camera crew, trailing from his microphone. I cursed my lost glasses but kept smiling. He graciously answered, "No, but it's a lot like a circus sometimes, I'll give you that."
Gah. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Circus. Jeesh.
This leads me to my conclusion, because no acceptance speech would be complete without a gratuitous thankyou to Carol Costello of CNN, Miguel Almaguer of NBC, Jesse Ellison of Newsweek/The Daily Beast , and all of their editors and producers working behind the scenes for chosing to cover this issue and bring the positive and human side of this story into the forefront. On behalf of my readers – on behalf of military spouses – thank you so much.
And now we return to our regularly scheduled program …

text: The building blocks of life just got a little weirder. Natural DNA strands are also a favorite construction tool for nano-engineers because of its tendency for individual strands to automatically bind to one another, snapping into a range of useful shapes, like the famous double helix design. Now scientists at Arizona State University have taken things to the next level and created GNA (that's Glycerol Nucleic Acid). More heat-tolerant and able to twist in ways its natural cousin can't, scientists want to use GNA as a self-assembling scaffold for the nano-robots of the future. No word on the danger of GNA escaping from the lab and spawning a race of killer synthetic, self-assembling aliens. (from EurekAlert, image: TurboSquid)

Piher Sensors & Controls has introduced the MTS-360 Mechanical Mount Rotary Position Sensor with integral PCB for fast and easy mounting. Designed with the sensor directly mounted onto a PCB, the innovative MTS-360 Sensor/PCB Combo package allows engineers to easily install a fully featured rotary sensor without first having to design a printed circuit board for the sensor. The result is time-savings and convenience.
The MTS-360 Sensor/PCB assembly is available with either 6-pin (dual output) or 3-pin (single output) Molex 90119 Series mating connectors. The PCB / Sensor assembly can be easily secured with three standard M3 screws. The entire assembly measures just 35mm wide by 36mm long and 7.5mm high, allowing for applications with tight packaging constraints.
The new MTS-360 Mechanical Mount sensor model incorporates all the breakthrough sensor technology performance features of the original MTS-360 by merging a through-shaft design with 360º absolute position feedback in a small size package. The result is an extremely small, fully featured rotary sensor with reliability up to 50 million cycles. The MTS-360 relies on patented Hall effect technology to enable true non-contacting through-hole shaft sensing now using a simple three hole mechanical mounting. The standard model features a 4mm double D-flat through-hole and three slotted mounting holes allowing final rotational adjustment at assembly.
Performance features include electrical angles up to 360° with no dead band and linearity as low as ±0.5%. Rated for use at -40ºC to +125ºC environments, the sensor can operate up to 333 RPM and can be programmed with full scale output with angles as narrow as 15° or as wide as 360° degrees. Output is selectable between Analog, PWM 12 bits or Serial Protocol (SPI) at 14 bits and includes a second output channel to provide a programmable switch signal. A redundant version with a dual core sensor in the same package is also available with the 6 pin Molex mating connector. A programmable switch is also offered allowing a switch output that can be triggered anywhere within the 360° rotation. The MTS-360 Mechanical Mount Rotary Position Sensor is ideal for a wide range of equipment including optical imaging stabilization and precision biomedical devices, optical zoom devices, consumer electronics, instrumentation, robotics, HVAC systems, automotive control systems, marine controls, fork lift trucks, farm equipment, cranes, unmanned vehicles, unmanned aircraft, industrial vehicles, low speed motor feedback, instrumentation, valve position sensors automation equipment position feedback system.
Pricing for the MTS-360 Sensor/PCB Combo package is priced in volumes from $5.65 per unit with delivery in two to six weeks, depending on options. The original MTS-360 Sensor in SMD form remains available as a standard product offering.

Querétaro is a city in central Mexico that economic experts have said models the economic development of the entire country. Some of the city's success has been attributed to the growth of American companies doing business in Querétaro.
"It's an example of what's working in this country," said Arturo Herbert, Mexican economist and international commerce professor in Querétaro's prestigious university Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey.
Querétaro is a city of about 1 million people located 120 miles northwest of Mexico City. In terms of logistics, Herbert said, Querétaro is attractive to American companies because it's not far from both the east and west coasts of Mexico and it is 500 miles from the international border with the U.S.
Foreign companies do business in cities like Querétaro because labor is cheaper and because the pool of high-skilled workers is large, said Herbert, a former university president who retired from the National Bank of Foreign Trade in Mexico.
General Electric, Bombardier, BMW and Mercedes Benz are some of the big companies with factories and offices in Querétaro.
Former Mexican President Felipe Calderon spoke at the inauguration of GE's newest plant in Querétaro in 2011.
He said Querétaro is General Electric's second-largest engineering center outside of the U.S. for the company's aviation division. About 1,300 Mexican engineers work in the aerospace industry in Querétaro, he said.
"These companies are looking for a good deal and we are interested in them doing business in Mexico," Calderon said. "This is an example of the strategic relationship between GE and Mexico."
Many things make it attractive to operate in Mexico, said Mauricio Varela, an assistant professor of economics at the University of Arizona.
"It's cheap labor--let's start there," he said. "Minimum wage there is $5 a day and here it's $7 an hour. That says it all."
But Mexican economic growth isn't just about the savings--it's about workers' skills, Varela added.
The number of college graduates is large and has been growing in Mexico, Varela said. In Querétaro, the number of engineers graduating every year is increasing and that interests firms that need technical skills. Those firms have a better pool of workers in Mexico than in Asian countries, he said.
Manufacturers in Mexico can be more flexible than China when it comes to changing orders on the fly. It takes days, not weeks, to get products from cities like Querétaro to the U.S., he said.
There is also opportunity for joint research development with Mexico.
"That's a huge possibility for everybody because here we have a lot of highly trained researchers and we know that research and development cost a lot of money, and obviously it can be done cheaper in Mexico," Herbert said. "That's a very well-kept secret."
Mexico's new president, Enrique Peña Nieto, has said international trade is a top priority for his administration, and Herbert expects Mexico to see an increase in foreign investment.

When did you reach that moment of nirvana?
I`ve had moments of nirvana, usually after I`ve resisted eating a cheese sandwich or something like that. There`s a little reward when you follow what`s right. It`s been a process that`s slowly kind of happening to me. Carving pumpkins with my daughter at Halloween was the best thing that happened to me this year.

Welcome Back to East "O" celebration planned for October 21
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today welcomed traffic back to East "O" Street and announced that the second and final phase of the widening project was finished nine days ahead of schedule. As promised, four lanes are open as crews continue working to finish median surfacing, sidewalks, street lighting and retaining walls over the next month.
The two-year, two-phase project widened East "O" Street from two to three lanes in each direction from 52nd Street to Wedgewood Drive and included work on intersecting streets. To celebrate the completion of the project, the public is invited to participate in Welcome Back to East "O," an event planned for Tuesday, October 21.
"The completion of this important project to ease traffic congestion and improve safety is a reason for the entire community to celebrate," said Mayor Seng. "I want to congratulate all those involved in this effort to improve the major east-west route through our City. I also want to thank the businesses and the public for their patience during construction."
A 1997 traffic study by The Schemmer Associates showed that 36,900 vehicles a day were traveling on "O" Street, which was designed to handle up to 32,000 vehicles a day. Projections show that traffic on "O" Street will increase to more than 45,000 vehicles a day by 2020.
After an extensive planning and public review process, construction on phase one began in March 2002. The first phase widened East "O" from 52nd Street to Eastridge Drive. It included reconstruction on 56th Street between "P" and "N" streets and on Cotner between "P" and Randolph streets.
This phase also included the implementation of the one-way pairs system, designed to handle heavy traffic safely by prohibiting left turns at the intersections of "O" Street with 56th Street and Cotner Boulevard. The one-way pairs system also avoided the need to widen 56th and Cotner through residential neighborhoods. Phase one was completed in September 2002, more than four weeks ahead of schedule.
Phase two, which began in March 2003 widened East "O" from Eastridge Drive to Wedgewood Drive and included work on 66th and 70th streets.
Permanent pavement markings will be installed next spring.
The Welcome Back to East "O" event will include live KLIN radio remote broadcasts from 6 to 10 a.m. and 5 to 6 p.m. on October 21. Mayor Seng and those involved in the project will be interviewed, and businesses and organizations along East "O" Street will offer special give-aways and discounts to the public.
"This is an opportunity for the public to celebrate the completion of the project and to see how much easier it is to travel on the new East "O" Street," said Linda Weaver Beacham, Project Manager with The Schemmer Associates. "We understand that the project caused some inconvenience, but the result is a street that can safely handle the increased traffic."
