Max's body treated the bone as stray calcium and absorbed it into his blood, leav ing an unprotected region on his head once again. On July 14, 2000 Max went into surgery again, and this time a paste-lik- e substance made out of bone material was used to fill in the hole, a process known as cranialplasty. Eventually hardening and becoming living tissue, the reconstruction, when it works properly, will leave Max able to do anything he would like to with no more than normal danger of head injury As of Maxs last trip to the hospital, according to his parents and Michael Heather Brandenburg who now live in Moab, his head was healing well and the patch was working Max's Grandmother, Tom Bronson, calls him their little miracle child because of the odds that he has overcome. While the family is pleased with the progress that Max has made, they are still frustrated that this accident ever happened The Brandenburgs feel that the window that Max tell out of should have been made safer by their landlord But according to building codes at the time their rented apartment was built, the landlord was not required to do so While Max is a completely normal boy, running around the house and playing with his toys, even he partially realizes what he went through. He isnt shy about showing the nearly invisible scar, and his parents said he is now used to the hospital check up visits. While Max will need to have to make sure regular check-up- s his head is healing properly, its a small price to pay for what could have happened. Thankfully, according to doctors, he will be able to lead a full and normal life, with just a few scars to remind him of w hat he went through w hen he w as a small boy. Governor touts fiber cable pact Continued from Page A 1 0 V SUPER SAVINGS ON FAMOUS NAME SLEEP SETS line that connected their three offices in Moab, Salt Lake and Seattle. It was extremely difficult, he said, to set up the contracts with several separate telecommunications companies in order to connect to the Internet backbone in Salt Lake, and it took as long as six months to do get it all worked out. Now, they pay a single company about $1,500 for an entire dedicated l that connects their Moab office to the Internet in Salt Lake, plus another $200 for somewhat slower connections for their offices in Salt Lake and Pennsylvania. Despite that pnee gain, Andrews estimates that their $1,500 connection fee is still approximately twice what they would pay for the equivalent service if their office was located in or near Salt Lake City. He thinks the addition of the Adesta cable through Crescent Junction might increase competition and lower the price for Internet service in Moab, he said. But there might be a wait. I think this will trickle down, but it might take a few years. Its not going to happen overnight. said he hoped the presence of the additional data and communications capacity would foster increased competition and thu9 bring better Internet access prices to rural communities. Meanwhile, the state is currently in negotiations with fiber optic companies regarding routes in the corridor. Vicky Varela, Leavitts press secretary, on Thursday said the Governor hoped to leverage those more valuable routes to require companies to extend the high bandwidth fiber cable from Crescent Junction down to Moab In order to get the agreement on they 11 have to 40 fiber cable miles down last the (from lay to Moab of Footprints.

They told us it was the only bid with a beating heart. A source at the airline confirmed that Great Lakes had an informal agreement to operate the route and that they were aimfor a ing at early or start-udate. But he did not know what was holding up the mid-Ma- y p signing of the final bid document. DOTs Chief of the EAS Program Dennis Devany said on Tuesday that he believed the last item being worked out with the company concerned a bridge" service between another EAS route Page, Ariz. Phoenix, Anz. and Great Lakes main hub in Denver. The Great Lakes bid for that route contained a subsidy to shuttle planes back to Denver for -- routine maintenance. Devany said DOT was pushing to have that bridge flight stop in Moab, thus providing regular service between Schappert said that DOT officials were very receptive during their meeting in Washington, and seemed to understand the pressing need to get some kind of regularly scheduled service to Moab in time for the beginning of the tourist season. Theyre kind of embarrassed that its taking so long, she said. They were expecting to have it signed by last Tuesday."
