On this go-around of news, which was naturally&nbsp;irresponsibly sensationalized by all the major&nbsp;major networks, the discussion revolved around a study of baby bottles which have BPA present. Some researchers believe the chemical is linked...]]></description><author>W.O.

Last weekend, Matt Rose, piloting the claw of his Kabota, carved out another 1,000 feet of new trail on the trail linkage the Land Trust is spearheading between Horse Lake Road and the Sage Hills to the south. There’s another 9,000 feet of trail to build before connection.

Bummer. For those who aren't familiar with the groomed ski trails leading from the Kahler Glen Golf Course up Nason Ridge, the circuit has a brutal climb (especially if you're skating) followed by many high-speed miles of crashing and burning on the descent. It's like a blow to the stomach followed by multiple blows to the head. Wonderful. We hope this doubl...]]></description><author>Andy Dappen</author><comments>http://www.justgetout.net/JGO/pages/news/?nid=41#0</comments><pubDate>Mon, 05 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.justgetout.net/JGO/pages/news/?nid=41</guid></item><item><title>Bridge Troubles - Loop Trail</title><link>http://www.justgetout.net/JGO/pages/news/?nid=40</link><description><![CDATA[  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The future possibility of the DOT surplusing its easement and property along the east side of&nbsp; the Loop Trail isn't the only big issue endangering the future of this trail. A recent assessment of the condition of the pedestrian bridge, located on the south end of the trail, has revealed some real safety problems. According to this article in The Wenatchee World, the bridge may not be safe to use after 2009. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The pedestrian bridge was built in...]]></description><author>Andy Dappen</author><comments>http://www.justgetout.net/JGO/pages/news/?nid=40#0</comments><pubDate>Mon, 05 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.justgetout.net/JGO/pages/news/?nid=40</guid></item><item><title>Parlette: Loop-Trail Meeting</title><link>http://www.justgetout.net/JGO/pages/news/?nid=39</link><description><![CDATA[State Senator, Linda Parlette dispatched a news release yesterday, announcing an informational meeting about the status of the Loop Trail.
