The Animal Shelter and Barkin’ Basement are again bringing Santa Paws to town for pictures with your family and furry friends on December 3^rd and 4^th.  Santa will be on site posing with you and your pets for memorable and fun images you can enjoy for years to come.

In addition, every photo package sold will help the Animal Shelter earn a generous $2,500 matching grant from Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial.  Photo packages are just $20 and other fun pet gifts will be available on site for sale from the Barkin’ Basement.  Santa Paws will be available this Saturday and Sunday from 11 am to 2 pm at the Dirty Beagle Dog Wash (in the industrial area behind the Hailey Post Office).  Special thanks to event sponsors Dirty Beagle Dog Wash, Flolo’s Imaging Center, and Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial.

About Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley

The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, the first “no kill” shelter in Idaho, promotes companion animal welfare by providing temporary shelter for homeless animals, adopting them to qualified homes and reducing animal abuse, neglect and overpopulation through community education and spay/neuter services. More than 90 percent of its funding comes from private donations.

In 2010 more than 1500 animals received services from the shelter. This includes 388 animals that were adopted, 257 lost animals that were reunited with their owners, 247 shelter animals that were spayed/neutered, and 363 privately owned animals that were spayed or neutered at no cost to their owners, and over 6000 pounds of food distributed through our Paws for Hunger partnership with The Hunger Coalition. On an average day, the shelter cares for 35 dogs and 31 cats.

A GE study of airspace around Sun Valley Airport has identified significant improvements in airport access that could be achieved during periods of inclement weather with the deployment of new, advanced instrument approach procedures. The study found that new procedures, using Required Navigation Performance (RNP) technology, would allow Bombardier Q400 passenger turboprops, like the ones operated by Horizon Air, to operate at Sun Valley on days of low ceiling and visibility that currently force diversions and cancellations.

In addition to lowering decision heights and visibility requirements for commercial carriers, new RNP procedures could also provide benefits to general aviation and business aircraft operators at Sun Valley, depending on aircraft type, crew training and performance capabilities.

Based on study findings, the deployment of new optimized RNP approach paths would allow Q400 Turboprops to land at Sun Valley on days during the year when weather conditions currently prevent them from operating. Unlike other possible alternatives for improving access at Sun Valley airport, the deployment of advanced RNP procedures would require no additional ground infrastructure, either on or off the airport property.

"The beauty of RNP is that it relies on performance characteristics of the aircraft itself, incorporating GPS, advanced instrumentation and computer-based navigation capabilities, to define a very precise trajectory," said GE Aviation Technical Fellow Steve Fulton. "The technology frees the aircraft from the constraints of ground-based radio-navigation infrastructure," Fulton said. "That means we can continuously improve the procedures without the need to add additional ground-based equipment."

After the RNP procedures are deployed, over time, they could be optimized to further lower decision heights, reduce visibility requirements, and allow RNP operations by multiple aircraft types.

GE Aviation's study was conducted in cooperation with Horizon Air and general aviation operators, and was underwritten by airport users who value reliable air service into the Wood River Valley.

GE Aviation develops and implements technologies that provide significant economic and environmental benefits to airlines, airports and the communities they serve.
