Plan for US 180 restrictions north of Flagstaff during controlled burn Tuesday and Wednesday (Nov. 2 - 3)

Traffic on US 180 will be restricted to one lane on Tuesday, Nov. 2, and Wednesday, Nov. 3, near Kendrick Park, approximately 17 miles north of Flagstaff, as forest crews conduct a controlled burn in the area. The scheduled burn will begin at 9:30 a.m. and is expected to last throughout the day and potentially through Wednesday if conditions allow. Fire managers will be coordinating with ADOT, which will provide pilot vehicles to lead traffic through the restricted area and determine when to lift the restriction. ADOT will be on scene during ignitions and monitoring smoke impacts to the highway overnight, if necessary. Drivers should allow for extra time for travel, slow down and proceed with caution with the potential reduced visibility conditions in the area. For more information about this project, please call Coralie Cole, ADOT Senior Community Relations Officer at 602.501.4899 or email ccole@azdot.gov ADOT works to inform the public about planned

OTHER STUFF.....

There's now a $24,000 chair that will give you the sensation of feeling weightless. Also, cash-less. A woman in Arkansas was caught using a government credit card to buy her dog a tuxedo. Formal charges are expected. I'm thinking if Hillary is elected president, that the Secret Service's nickname for her husband will be Weatherman -- because he'll always be asking if the coast is clear. It's Halloween! The second scariest day of the year. The scariest, of course, is a week from tomorrow.

DID YOU KNOW?

One out of six Americans will rake leaves and clean fallen debris from their yards sometime before the end of the year. Research reveals if you want to feel good and have more self-esteem you should talk about yourself or compliment yourself. A recent survey found that being asked for your phone number and email address is the biggest pain while shopping during the holiday season. More than 9 out of 10 people who post photos online say it helps reduce holiday stress. A little over $600 million is spent on fencing material (barbed wire, chain link, chicken wire, etc.) each year in America.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is denying reports that he yelled out "Trump!" to signal an audible during Sunday's game.

TODAY IS

DIY host and singer Vanilla Ice -- aka Robert Van Winkle -- has a Halloween birthday and turns 48 today. Isn't it about time he went back to just plain old Robert Van Winkle? He'll celebrate with a cake, topped with lots of icing-icing, baby. I don't know which not to believe -- that he's a rapper or that he's 48. King Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys is 50. By that age, shouldn't they at least be Beastie Men? Rob Schneider turns 52 today. He started on SNL and then went on... well, let's just say he went on. As a personal favor, we won't mention any of his movies. Director Peter Jackson turns 55 today. Although directing all three "Lord of the Rings" movies make him feel like 90. He needs to lose some weight. If you haven't seen him lately, he's got an awful lot of "middle earth" going on there. He has a way of making movies that are Hobbit forming. He plans a quiet night at home, just playing Dungeons and D

ON THIS DAY

It was on this date, back in 1517, that Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Wittenberg Palace Church and the Reformation was born. It was not only the beginning of the Reformation but day one of the no-nailing-things-on-the-church-door policy. The church tried to settle out of court and move a few priests around, but no... Since this began the reformation and resulted in the Lutheran church, I'm going to assume that 'theses" is Latin for "Casserole recipes." It was a much more mature gesture than his first -- the 95 feces. On this date in 1864, Nevada became our 36th U.S. state. What were the odds? I'm sure they knew. It was a gamble, but with Nevada, isn't it always? In 1952, the U.S. set off the first hydrogen bomb in the Marshall Islands. At first, they denied it and blamed the dog. On this date in 1956, streetcar services ended in Brooklyn. Up until that time, Rice-Aroni was the "Fugget About It Treat." Also on this date in

Today In History...

In 1517 Martin Luther begins the Protestant Reformation in Germany when he posts the 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Palace church. In 1864 Nevada becomes the 36th U.S. state. In 1922 Benito Mussolini (Il Duce) becomes premier of Italy. In 1926 Erich Weiss, better known as Magician Harry Houdini, dies in Detroit of gangrene and peritonitis resulting from a ruptured appendix. In 1938 Orson Welles expresses "deep regret and bewilderment" on the day after his "War Of The Worlds" program panicked listeners. In 1941 A German submarine torpedoes U.S. Navy destroyer "Ruben James" off the coast of Iceland killing 115. It was the first American warship to sink during World War II, even though the U.S. had not yet entered the conflict. In 1952 The U.S. set off the first hydrogen bomb in the Marshall Islands.

YOUR SIGN PICKS YOUR COSTUME

What kind of costume is best for you according to your astrological sign? Aries: Dress as a celebrity athlete, musician, or entertainer, underscoring your natural desire to stand out. Taurus: Emphasize comfort over appearance. Paint a simple vampire face, and throw on a cape. Keep it simple. Gemini: You want to shock people. Your costume will be over the top. Stay out of conservative neighborhoods. You tend to push the limits of good taste with a super sexy costume. Cancer: You should reflect the crab's shell. A knight in shining armor or a warrior or princess in full battle array will fit you fine. Leo: You love to dress as royalty. A princess, King, Queen or member of the royal court is your style. The perfect costume is that of the King of the Jungle. Virgo: You are picky about your costume because of your critical nature. But the costume that every Virgo wins with is the vampire nurse or doctor. It combines your love of science with Halloween's scary side. Libra: Y

Politicians Suspicious of authority. Judge people by their actions, not by their words. Opinionated. Movie Stars Concerned about reputation, success. Enjoy being the center of attention. Socially active. Clowns Sensitive to others emotions, self-assured, can laugh at themselves. Aliens Often have a hard time understanding people's intentions. Monsters Appear calm, but they're hiding internal turmoil. Have difficulty expressing themselves. No Costume You're afraid of criticism. Uptight, you have a hard time letting go. Underneath it all, you have an intense need to be accepted.

THINGS THAT SOUND DIRTY ON HALLOWEEN BUT AREN'T

She's a goblin! I'd like to get a little somethin' in the sack tonight. Just get on your hands and knees and bob your head. She's got a couple of nice pumpkins on her porch. If you just lick it, it will last longer. Let me see your big sack. Can I eat your zagnuts? Have your mom check it before you put it in your mouth. You scared me stiff! He's got candy spread out on the living room floor!

HALLOWEEN CANDY REVEALS PERSONALITY

Did you know that the kind of Halloween candy you give out is a reflection onto yourself. It is true, here is a few of the different personality traits related to your candy. Loose Change -- These people tend to be procrastinators. The fact they answer the door instead of pretending not to be there for trick- or-treaters is a sign of their Genuine interest in people and loyalty to friends. Candy Corn, Orange Colored Marshmallow, Puff "Peanuts," etc. -- You know how to pinch every last penny out of a dollar. You prefer spending your money on you, not someone you will never see again. M&M's/Snickers/Milky Way -- Right off the top, you're cool. Quality over quantity is the name of the game with you. You love a great party, are conscious and considerate of others. Likely to be a natural leader. Positive and upbeat on the outside even if your innards are tied in knots. Skittles/Reese's Pieces -- You're up on trends and fashion. You know what'

PUMPKIN POINTERS

Woman's Day got some Halloween help from Janet Sobesky. Pumpkin Pointers: Prolong a carved pumpkin's life by lathering the inside of the shell and cut areas with petroleum jelly. For easy cleanup, set the pumpkin on several layers of newspaper before carving. Avoid cutting mouths that are large open spaces or very long horizontally. They weaken the pumpkin at the bottom and can make it collapse. To prevent a fire hazard, use battery-operated candles to light the pumpkin. Small children can make jack-o'-lantern faces by attaching vegetables, fruit or candy with toothpicks instead of cutting. Try cucumber or squash slices for eyes, a green bean for the nose and candy corn for teeth. Outdoor Decorations: Make streamers by cutting a plastic garbage bag into strips (cut just a few inches above the bottom of the bag so streamers stay together). Hang them from the porch. Stuff an old shirt and pants to make a scarecrow body. Set on a chair and top with a plasti

TRICKS FOR DEALING WITH TREATS

Woman's Day offers these five tricks for dealing with all those treats your kids will bring home this Halloween: Focus on the fun, not the food. Create cool costumes, decorate the house, carve a pumpkin. by celebrating Halloween in other ways, kids are less likely to fixate on the sugar rush. Don't get a head start. Buy treats at the last minute. The longer candy meant for trick-or-treaters sits around the house, the greater the chance your kids or you will nosh on it. Be different. You're not a spoilsport if you choose to give out healthy treats such as mini bags of pretzels or popcorn. Or opt for stickers, rings or toys. Have a sweet strategy. When the loot comes home, go through it with your child and dispose of any homemade treats, or treats you don't want him to eat. Then decide on a sensible number of pieces he can have daily. Over and out. Set a deadline when remaining candy will be thrown out. This makes kids more likely to choose carefully. After a few wee

For safety’s sake, the work zone speed limit had been lowered to 55 mph. ADOT’s 11-mile-long project, which began in August 2014, has widened Loop 101 from four to five travel lanes in each direction, including the existing HOV lanes. Crews also realigned ramps and added new merge lanes between major interchanges to
