The fun is in the photography, because while the librarians or firefighters may be naked, they are always strategically hidden behind some fire hose, book or fence. In Carmel, Calif., a group called the Fire Belles was immensely raised more than $40,000 pleased when its calendar for firefighters. But the women were nonplussed when the city by the sea refused the cash! Officials said the calendar might offend sensibilities and expose the city to costly sexual harassment lawsuits, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. Calendar girl Paula Weber, at 85 the oldest Fire Belle, said this made her feel belittled and insulted by the people responsible for bringing down a good cause and good people.

NEVADA-- A blonde bombshell with a big smile is urgently Atomic Testing Museum in Las being sought by the brand-neVegas. Back in 1957, Lee Merlin posed for a photographer in a bathing suit flocked with fluffy white balls, and her image was reproduced widely as Miss Atomic Bomb. Shes become a piece of our popular culture, says scientist Robert Friedrichs, who has spent the last six months searching for the model. He wants to show her how iconic the photo has become, he says, and would also like to invite her to speak at the museum, developed by the National Nuclear Security Administration. Merlins image has come to symbolize the ignorant days of nuclear testing, when cocktails around the pool were scheduled for the spectacle of bombs going off, only 65 miles from Las Vegas. According to Carolyn MacMullen, a fellow dancer at the Sands Hotel, Merlin was quiet, had a dry sense of humor and was very bookish, reports the Los Angeles Times. But the two have lost touch. As for how Merlin came to lend her sexy yet wholesome image to something so deadly as a nuclear explosion, retired photographer Don English recalls that he just needed a change from the real thing: We were shooting so many atom bombs, we tried to do anything that was a little bit different.

The Disability Law Center is a statewide agency that provides assistance, legal services, disability-right- s education and public policy advocacy. As a private, entity designated by the self-advoca- governor to administer the federal protection and advocacy system, the Disability Law Center has broad statutory powers to safeguard the rights of people with disabilities. The upcoming council meeting and workshops reflect the Disability Law Centers recent plan to organize regional advisory councils in rural Utah counties. The goal of this pilot project is to support local communities as they advocate for the needs of individuals with disabilities and their families. According to Khando Chazotsang of the Disability Law Center in Salt Lake City, regional councils help strengthen the voice for people with disabilities in rural communities, offer opportunities to network with similar groups and organizations, teach skills to advocate for people with disabilities, share resources and become a vital source of local information to the Disability Law Center and other service providers. On Monday, March 28 the meeting is organizational and will include a light supper. It will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Moab City Council Chambers, 115 W. 200 South.
