9 years later, boy who fell from window making 'miraculous' recovery
By Natalie Crofts

AMERICAN FORK A boy who had part of his brain removed after falling from a second-story window had his 13th surgery Wednesday.
Chason Barkle, 12, has made a miraculous recovery after a tragic accident, according to family. He was 3 years old when he was playing with his 5- year-old brother in their room. His mom told the boys that if they cleaned up their toys they could go out for ice cream, but they never got the chance.
It was a hot day and while their parents were downstairs, the boys decided to try and open up the window more. A bar was in place to prevent the kids from falling out, and when the 5-year-old tried to push on the window harder he accidentally pushed his brother out.
We heard crying outside and at first we thought it was one of the neighbor boys who was always doing dangerous stuff, but my older son came down and said, Go outside, go outside, said mother Haley Barkle. We found Chason on the grass and called 911.
Chason had fallen onto the metal edge of a window well, which was impaled 4 inches into his brain. He pulled himself off of it and never lost consciousness. An ambulance was already in the area so Chasen was quickly taken to the nearby American Fork Hospital before being transported by medical helicopter to Primary Childrens Medical Center.
When we got there he was already in surgery and they told us that there was a real possibility that if he survived he might be a vegetable, that he would need to learn how to walk and talk all over again, that he might not know who he was or who we are, and so thats kind of what we were facing going into the surgery, Barkle said. He woke up that next morning and said, Hi, mom!
His skull was broken and doctors had to remove part of his brain, but Chason was able to return home only nine days later. Since the accident in 2005 he has had numerous surgeries and several complications, but he shows no signs of brain damage or aggression.

The Energy Department today announced up to $7 million to deploy clean energy and energy efficiency projects in tribal communities, reducing reliance on fossil fuel, and promoting economic development. The Tribal Energy Program, in cooperation with the Department's Office of Indian Energy, will help Native American tribes, tribal energy resource development organizations, and tribal consortia to install community- or facility-scale clean energy and energy efficiency projects.
Tribal lands comprise nearly 2% of U.S. land, but contain about 5% of all the country's renewable energy resources. With more than 9 million megawatts of potential installed renewable energy capacity on tribal lands, these communities are well positioned to capitalize on their abundant domestic renewable energy resources, enhancing U.S. energy security and protecting the environment.
The Funding Opportunity Announcement is soliciting applications under two topic areas:
Under Topic Area 1, "Tribal Building Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency Retrofits," the department is soliciting projects to install facility-scale clean energy (natural gas combined heat and power systems and renewable energy) systems to displace electrical, heating, or cooling loads by at least 15%. Also included are deep energy retrofits that reduce the total of all energy used in a building or buildings by at least 20%.
Under Topic Area 2, "Community-Scale Clean Energy Deployment," the department is soliciting projects to install clean energy systems that can provide electricity, heating, or cooling to many buildings or to an entire tribal community. Clean energy systems need to generate a minimum of 50 kilowatts of power (or equivalent) and use commercially-warrantied technology.
Cost-shared projects selected under this funding announcement are intended to result in immediate cost savings, reduce energy use, and increase energy security for Indian Tribes and tribal members.
The full funding announcement is available via EERE's Exchange website and the Tribal Energy Program website.
The Energy Department's Office of Indian Energy and the Tribal Energy Program promote tribal energy sufficiency and foster economic development and employment on tribal lands through the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.
Since 2002, the Department has invested nearly $50 million in 184 tribal clean energy projects, and provides financial and technical assistance to tribes for the evaluation and development of their renewable energy resources, implementation of energy efficiency to reduce energy use, and education and training to help build the knowledge and skills essential for sustainable energy projects.

Moen, the number one faucet brand in North America, is increasing its kitchen and bath faucet offerings at Menards with the new Sullivan, Nori and Tiffin collections. Whether replacing or remodeling, looking for style, functionality or both Moens thoughtfully designed faucets provide a wealth of options to satisfy any homeowners needs.
Todays consumers want choices when it comes to selecting a fixture both with style and innovation, said Maribeth Kwasniewski, director of retail marketing, Moen. With the kitchen and bath being the most popular rooms to remodel, its important for us to design faucets that provide homeowners with everything theyre looking for, but without the high price tag.
In the Kitchen
Sullivan Pullout Kitchen Faucet Offering transitional styling to coordinate with any dcor, the new Sullivan pullout faucet adds style and convenience to the kitchen. Sullivan is the first pullout faucet at Menards to feature Moen's innovative Reflex system, which offers self-retraction of the wand as well as smooth operation and secure docking.
The pullout wand has two unique spray functions aerated stream and powerful spray with new spray technology for speedy cleanup. It also comes with a coordinating soap dispenser and can be installed as a single-hole application; or with a deck plate if a three-hole sink configuration is desired. And, with the Duralock Quick Connect installation system, Sullivan is easy to install. A telltale "click" audibly signals a secure connection and eliminates the need for tools to attach the water line to the faucet.
Sullivan is available in Moens Spot Resist Stainless finish ($188),* which resists fingerprints and water spots, maintaining the brilliance of the finish for the lifetime of the faucet.
Nori Pulldown Kitchen Faucets For homeowners looking for a soft modern design in the kitchen, the Nori pulldown faucet is the answer. Nori is available in two on-trend finishes Chrome ($189)* and Spot Resist Stainless ($228)* and includes a matching soap dispenser. Additionally, the easy-to-use pulldown wand allows users to switch between water-flow patterns with the touch of a button, and includes two spray functions aerated stream and powerful rinse. The faucet also includes Moen's Reflex system.
In the Bath
Tiffin Bathroom Faucets The new Tiffin bathroom faucet offers a transitional design that looks great in any bathroom. The two-handle, centerset faucet features a high-arc spout and lever handles to create a timeless look. Its available in three popular finishes: Chrome ($79)*, Spot Resist Brushed Nickel ($99)* and Mediterranean Bronze ($119)*.

Pet Emergency Clinic PS, currently located at 21 E. Mission north of downtown, plans to construct a larger veterinary office building on an adjacent lot, a predevelopment application submitted to the city of Spokane shows.
The envisioned $3 million structure would have up to 18,000 square feet of floor space, with a 12,700-square-foot main floor and a smaller second floor and basement, the application shows.
Baker Construction & Development Inc., of Spokane, is the contractor and applicant on the project.
Animal Arts Design Studios, a Colorado-based architectural company that specializes in veterinary offices, is designing it.
Michael ODea, a veterinarian and a principal at Pet Emergency Clinic, says the after-hours emergency veterinary practice hopes to begin work on the project before winter and move into the new building by midsummer next year.
Our goal is to have larger space for additional veterinary specialists, he says.
The project site is located at the northeast corner of Mission Avenue and Division Street.
Just east of the project site, Pet Emergency Clinic occupies a 6,600-square-foot building with one story and a partial basement where it operates after hours on weekdays and 24 hours on weekends and holidays. During weekday business hours, veterinary specialty practices Inland Empire Veterinary Imaging PS, Veterinary Surgical Services PS, and Internal Medicine Services lease the space. Dermatology for Animals PC, an Arizona-based practice, also has a part-time clinic at the building, ODea says.
The building is 100 percent occupied 24 hours a day, he says, adding that the specialty practices there now also will move to the planned building.
Pet Emergency Clinic has a staff of 40, and the specialty practices altogether employ about 27 people, ODea says.

Santa Monica, Calif-based Hertz Investment Group acquired a five-floor, almost 42,000-square-foot office building at 135 W. Bay St., next to the tower, and a nine-story, 93,000-square-foot parking garage at 25 W. Forsyth St.
Hertz Investment Group Executive Vice President James Ingram said Wednesday the West Bay Street building is attached to the tower and is occupied by Florida Bank.
Ingram said the West Forsyth Street garage provides an additional 650 parking spaces for the tower. He said the parking is strictly for Bank of America Tower tenants.
Hertz bought the structures from Jacksonville Tower Associates LLC, which is Parmenter Realty Partners of Miami.
The 696,672-square-foot Bank of America Tower at 50 N. Laura St. is Jacksonvilles tallest office building. It includes a parking garage within the structure.
The sale of the buildings was recorded Wednesday with the Duval County Clerk of Courts.
JPMorgan Chase Bank issued an almost $51.9 million mortgage Friday to Hertz Jacksonville for the three buildings.
The market value for the three buildings totals almost $74.7 million, comprising $71.2 million for the tower, $2.11 million for the adjacent office building and $1.37 million for the garage, according to the Duval County Property Appraiser.

In the sustainability world the discussion has largely focused on renewable power and improving architecture and building infrastructure to reduce energy use.
A quieter part of the sustainability story is the evolution in construction techniques and materials acquisition that reduce waste, energy and various inefficiencies at building sites.
Rick Carter, senior vice president of LHB Corp.s Minneapolis office, said green construction techniques play only a small role in achieving LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification from the Washington, D.C.-based United States Green Building Council.
The USGBC works on a point system, and most of those awarded come from a buildings design, location, orientation, and its materials, to a smaller degree.
Lean manufacturing, in contrast, wins no points for contractors but contributes to less energy expended at a site. I think this is an important element, especially if you have a general contractor who is knowledgeable and able to pull something off in terms of sustainability, Carter said.
For contractors, a strategy for saving time and materials can lead to higher profitability and the good feeling of not creating unnecessary waste. Heres a look at five techniques that are having the greatest impact on sustainable building construction.
Prefabricating materials in controlled environments
Constructing as much of a structure in a controlled environment as possible has improved the quality of buildings and resulted in less trash, said Spencer Finseth, principal of Minneapolis-based Greiner Construction.
Being able to cut materials precisely decreases waste and creates buildings that are strong enough to allow contractors to use wood framing as high as five stories, he said.
