| Fruitland water users install water treatment system to meet EPA regs
The Fruitland Domestic Water Company has 175 shareholders with water being provided to 140 homes on Fruitland Mesa. The private water company has just completed construction of a new water treatment system that meets all EPA standards. The system will be fully operating by this spring. Pipeline construction began in 1979 with the first 40 customers receiving water in 1980. The 20-mile pipeline was established primarily to bring water to livestock on the mesa. A drought in the 1970s made it hard for ranchers to water their cattle. From that beginning, more families have moved to Fruitland Mesa and the water company served their needs. The company began working on the new system in 2005. The new filtration system was needed due to EPA regulations that the state must follow.
Men's Track and Field Expects Big Performances at BIG EAST ...
NEW YORK, N.Y. (February 22, 2008) - The University of Connecticut men's track and field team enters this weekend's BIG EAST Indoor Track and Field Championship at the Armory in New York City with great expectations of success. The events will start on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. with the field events. The heptathlon will begin at 11:00 a.m. and track events will start at 12:00 p.m. On Sunday, the heptathlon will begin at 8:00 a.m., field events will begin at 9:00 a.m. and track events will start at 11:30 a.m. One way to predict how the meet might turn out is to look at the qualifying lists and see which athletes have run the best times or have the longest distances in their events. However, head coach Greg Roy cautions reading to much into those lists. "You can look at those (qualifying) lists a little bit, but in the end you have to throw it way." said Roy.

South Carolina Democratic Primary Coverage - Saturday, January 26, 6 ...
NBC's Kevin Corke, meantime, is at Jillian's Restaurant, Columbia, South Carolina, the Edwards campaign in the senator's home birth state, is there. And that is where Kevin will be joining us throughout the evening. Kevin, good evening to you. KEVIN CORKE, NBC CORRESPONDENT: Keith, good evening to you. I think it is interesting to just take a look around Jillian's. I think there is a bit of excitement here because they just don't know. They don't know. Did he connect with the voters like he had hoped to? Would the fact that he is a native son really pay off today? But I also think there is an unease here, because the fact of the matter is, if not here, where? If not now, when? In the case of John Edwards, he has got to show some momentum. And this is a place where certainly he would have some advantages to do that, because some of our pre-election polling seemed to suggest that Edwards is a guy who seems to be taking advantage of or at least benefiting from the ongoing Obama-Clinton spat.
JANE ANN MORRISON: New watchdog of government ethics continues ...
When Craig Walton died in October, there was concern the Nevada Center for Public Ethics he founded might wither from neglect. But a core group of 45 people who care deeply about ethics have committed to keep it going, and Julie Tousa, a graduate of UNLV's Ethics and Policy Studies master's program under Walton, is the acting president. It's a make or break time for the center, but with no shortage of ethical issues in Las Vegas, Tousa already has been answering news media calls about questionable ethics. When the Las Vegas Sun reported the dirty details of Las Vegas City Council members' "special events" expenses, Tousa questioned the propriety of council members using government money to promote themselves. .
