Ridgway was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Feb. 18, 1949. He has two brothers, Greg and Tom, and when they were young their family moved frequently between Utah and Idaho, finally settling in Washington in 1958. Like Reichert's, Ridgway's family was poor. His father drove trucks when he could get the work, while his mother brought up the three boys in a 600-sq.-ft. house off the Pacific Highway near what would become the strip. The boys slept in bunk beds in the same room and spent much of the time outdoors. "We literally crawled...
...board members, giving three speeches and dropping by a book signing. And he still has a fund raiser to go to.

"It was enough to make you sick for two weeks to taste it," he said. Ahmed al-Ayan, a fleshy 200-pounder when the siege began, came out 40 pounds lighter...
...methane in the basin, drilling companies will have to unleash torrents of water from underground aquifers--up to 20,000 gal. per day per well--which could deplete the region's water reserves and, because much of the underground water has a high salt content, potentially destroy thousands of acres of farmland. Ranchers also fear that the roads, pipelines and power lines needed for the project will turn their open prairies into industrial wasteland...
Because the idea is so new, there isn't yet a wealth of data behind it. But after a four-month trial in a Salt Lake City elementary school last spring, standardized reading scores rose, with two of the 10 participants going up four reading levels and the rest going up at least two. A report issued by the school also noted ancillary benefits ranging from decreased absenteeism to improved self-esteem. Martin recalls one little boy who shyly told her on the first day of the program, "I don't read very good." Martin pointed out her Portuguese water...
