RE: Lewistown Air Service 

Commissioners: 

Ken Ronish 

Carl Seilstad 

Sandy Youngbauer 

5Lt 

This letter is in support of retaining EAS funding for the Lewistown Airport and a commercial air 

provider. This is an important economic asset to Fergus County and our local communities. The flight 

service to Lewistown is our only source of public transportation to larger communities (other than 

vehicle). We have no bus or train services and no interstate highways through our area. Public air 

service is our main avenue to attract new businesses to this area. Loosing this service will take away our 

potential for economic growth and would reduce jobs in an already struggling economy. 

Fergus County firmly believes, as do our rural communities, that reinstating the direct flights to Denver 

would make us as competitive as other flights in the area going to Billings. Currently people drive to 

Billings when they need to access that city due to the close proximity. The improvements made to our 

runways and the LPV instrument approach to runway 26 made facilities for a new carrier more than 

adequate. If you look at our 2009 and 2010 ridership numbers you will clearly see that our direct flights 

to Denver were beneficial for everyone. Our 2009 and 2010 numbers also put us well below the $1,000 

subsidy bench mark. 

Our Airport Board has communicated with a carrier who is willing to bid the Lewistown to Denver flight. 

We strongly urge your support in continuing the EAS subsidy for the Lewistown airport and adding direct 

flights to Denver. 

Sincerely,

Personal Protocols and controls

The following Protocols and Controls that are practiced by me (PIC) during every operation of

my Phantom 3 Pro quad­copter.

● Constant training with UAS in controlled environment as well as PC based simulators to

ensure safe operation.

● The following Checklist is utilized to ensure that a safe operation is maintained on every

flight. This is a preflight checklist created by Adam Savage (Mythbusters/Tested.com) for

his inspire 1, which is a similar platform to the Phantom 3 Pro both being manufactured

by DJI. The only section that I have modified is under line of site. I have changed that to

reflect LINE­OF­SITE must always be maintained.
● In addition to the above checklist I monitor weather conditions in my area of operations

(all hereinafter referred to AO). I do not operate in winds over 20mph or when the cloud

ceiling is below 800ft. Regardless of the UAS maximum operation altitude of 400ft agl.

● In the AO I maintain a heightened level of situational awareness by constantly scanning

the area with both my eyesight as well as the onboard video feed from the UAS.

● I also keep watch for any airborne wildlife that might come in contact with the UAS

causing the operator to lose ability to maintain heading and/or altitude.

These Personal Protocols and Control enable me the operator to maintain constant control of

the UAS, providing a safe operating environment.

NRC ANNOUNCES OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING ON

APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL OF FARLEY OPERATING LICENSE

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has announced the opportunity to request a

hearing on an application from Southern Nuclear Operating Co. (SNC) to renew the operating licenses

for Units 1 and 2 of the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant for an additional 20 years beyond the period

specified in the current license. The Farley plant is located near Dothan, Alabama, and the current

operating licenses for Units 1 and 2 expire on June 25, 2017, and March 31, 2021, respectively.

The deadline for requesting a hearing on the license renewal application is December 5. By that

date, petitions must be filed by anyone whose interest might be affected by the license renewal, and

who wishes to participate as a party in the proceeding. Petitions for a hearing must be filed with the

Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001,

Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. They may also be delivered to the NRC Public

Document Room at 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland.

Copies of the petition should also be sent to:

-- Office of General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555- 

 0001, and by fax (301-415-3725) or e-mail (OGCMailCenter@nrc.gov );

-- Secretary of the Commission by fax (301-415-1101) or e-mail (hearingdocket@nrc.gov ), 

 and;

-- J.B. Beasley Jr., Vice President, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, P.O. Box 1295, 

 Birmingham, Alabama 35201.

Additional information about the opportunity for a hearing may be found in the Federal

Register Notice on this subject. A copy of the license renewal application is available on the NRC web

site at this address: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications/farley.html . 

The application also is available through the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management

Systems (ADAMS). Help in using ADAMS is available by contacting the NRC Public Document

Room staff at 301-415-4737 or 1-800-397-4209, or by sending a message to pdr@nrc.gov via e-mail. 

The documents are also available for inspection at the NRC’s Public Document Room in Rockville,

Maryland, and at the Houston Love Memorial Library, 212 West Burdesha St., Dothan, Alabama.

NRC staff have determined SNC has submitted sufficient information for the agency to

formally “docket,” or file, the application. Docketing the application does not preclude requesting
-2-

additional information as the review proceeds, nor does it indicate whether the Commission will grant

or deny the application.

For further information, contact Tilda Liu, License Renewal Project Manager, Division of

Regulatory Improvement Programs, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Weed of the Week 

Produced by the USDA Forest Service, Forest Health Staff, Newtown Square, PA. WOW 03-07-05

Invasive Plants website: http://www.na.fs.fed.us/fhp/invasive_plants 

Mile-A Minute Weed

Polygonum perfoliatum L. 

Native Origin: India and Eastern Asia 

Common Names: Mile-a-minute weed, devil’s 

tail tear thumb 

Description: Mile-a-minute weed is an herbaceous, annual, trailing vine in the 

buckwheat family, Polygonaceae. Reddish stems are armed with downward 

pointing hooks or barbs. Light green colored leaves are shaped like an equilateral triangle and 

alternate along the narrow, delicate stems. Distinctive circular, cup-shaped leafy structures, called 

ocreas, surround the stem at intervals. Flower buds, and later flowers and fruits, emerge from within 

the ocreas. Flowers are small, white and generally inconspicuous. The fruits are attractive, metallic 

blue and segmented, each segment containing a single glossy, black or reddish-black seed. 

Habitat: Mile-a-minute weed generally colonizes open and disturbed areas, right–of-ways, along the 

edges of woods, wetlands, stream banks, and roadsides, and uncultivated open fields, resulting from 

both natural and human causes. It also occurs in environments that are 

extremely wet with poor soil structure. It will tolerate shade for a part of the 

day, but needs a good percentage, 63-100% of the available light. 

Distribution: Mile-a-minute weed is currently found in Pennsylvania, 

Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, New York, Virginia, Ohio, Washington, 

D.C. and other states noted in shaded areas on the map. 

Ecological Impact: Mile-a-minute weed grows rapidly, scrambling over 

shrubs and other vegetation, blocking the foliage of covered plants from 

available light, and reducing their ability to photosynthesize, which 

stresses and weakens them. It is a threat to forest regeneration and 

infests recreational and residential areas 

Control and Management: 

Mechanical- Hand pulling of seedlings is best done before the recurved barbs on the stem and leaves 

harden. Removal of vines by hand may be conducted throughout the summer. Repeated mowing or 

trimming of mile-a-minute plants will prevent the plants from flowering and thus reduce or eliminate 

fruit and seed production. 

Cultural methods- Maintain vegetative community stability and avoid creating gaps or openings in 

existing vegetation. Maintaining broad vegetative buffers along streams and forest edges will help to 

shade out, reduce the dispersal of fruits by water and prevent establishment. 

Chemical- Glyphosate (e.g., Roundup for upland areas and Rodeo for wetland applications), applied 

at a low rate will probably be effective in killing mile-a-minute weed with prior approval of the State 

Department of Agriculture where the application will take place. 

Biological Control- USDA Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team conducted research studies in 

the US and China to determine the feasibility of using natural enemies to control mile-a-minute weed.

COURT OF APPEALS

SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS

FORT WORTH

NOS. 2-08-068-CR 

 2-08-069-CR

NATHAN K. MYERS APPELLANT

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE

------------

FROM THE 396TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

------------

MEMORANDUM OPINION1

------------

Appellant Nathan K. Myers entered two open pleas of guilty to possession

of four grams or more but less than 200 grams of a controlled substance

(methamphetamine),2 and he pleaded true to the habitual offender notice

contained in each charge. The trial court found him guilty and assessed
3... 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967).

2

punishment at twenty-five years’ confinement in each case, to be served

concurrently. 

Myers’s court-appointed appellate counsel has filed a motion to withdraw

as counsel and a brief in support of that motion. Counsel’s brief and motion

meet the requirements of Anders v. California3 by presenting a professional

evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds for

relief. Myers was given the opportunity to file a pro se brief, but he did not do

so.

As the reviewing court, we must conduct an independent evaluation of

the record to determine whether counsel is correct in determining that the

appeals are frivolous. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim.

App. 1991); Mays v. State, 904 S.W.2d 920, 923 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth

1995, no pet.). Only then may we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. See

Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 82–83, 109 S. Ct. 346, 351 (1988). Because

Myers entered open pleas of guilty, our independent review for potential error

is limited to potential jurisdictional defects, the voluntariness of Myers’s pleas,

error that is not independent of and supports the judgment of guilt, and error

occurring after entry of the guilty pleas. See Monreal v. State, 99 S.W.3d 615,
3

620, 622 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003); Young v. State, 8 S.W.3d 656, 666–67

(Tex. Crim. App. 2000).

We have carefully reviewed the record, including the sealed presentence

investigation report and counsel’s brief. We agree with counsel that the

appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record

that might arguably support the appeals. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d

824, 827–28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); accord Meza v. State, 206 S.W.3d 684,

685 n.6 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006). We therefore grant counsel’s motion to

withdraw and affirm the trial court’s judgment in each case.
