Customers should note that this is black tea flavored with peppermint, rather than pure peppermint tea. It tastes really good, and to my surprise is actually very good with milk.

Not my Cup of Tea
Posted by NBPT100 on Jun 27, 2013
I like peppermint but for some reason I did not care for the taste of this peppermint tea. I am use to loose tea that I purchase from organic farms here in the US. Peppermint is an excellent digestive herb and calmative. It can settle an upset stomach. On a plus note this tea is organic.

It's not a herbal tea It's a black tea floavored peppermint

It is good but it's a black tea.
NOT peppermint tea!
Posted by ErinKannon on Jan 03, 2016
This is organic Ceylon tea. There is NO peppermint leaf in this product at all! I noticed white flecks in the teabags so tore one open. Inside I found tea leaves and small chunks of peppermint CANDY. I am so so disappointed in this product and this company. I like the taste because of the candy/sugar, but it's not peppermint tea.

Hace poco he comenzado a integrarme en el mundo del te y debo decir que esta variedad me parece muy buena. El aroma a peppermint se siente desde un principio y el sabor es delicioso.
Black tea with peppermint aroma
Posted by IdaEmilii on Dec 02, 2014
When I ordered this tea I thought that this was peppermint tea (I admit that I didn't pay too muct attention to product info). When the order arrived I was first a bit disappointed, but this tea quickly became my favorite morning tea! I found this especially tasteful when added some milk. Very fresh peppermint taste and coffein =>perfect way to start the day!

good but not as good as traditional medicinals Peppermint tea
MISLEADING: Not Peppermint Tea!
Posted by Reviewer1648208 on Sep 14, 2014
Despite it being called "Peppermint Tea" it is actually just ceylon tea with peppermint "flavor" added to it. I made the mistake of not reading the ingredient list carefully and was wondering why I was not receiving the benefits I usually do of peppermint tea. Again, if you are looking for a pure peppermint tea this is not it!
Oops! Impending expiration date

Although it says that expiration date is by July 2017 on the description above, the one I received today was by June 2015. It is very disappointing to see the old product, not a freshly packaged one.
No es el mejor té de menta
Posted by artemisa on Feb 18, 2015
He probado este té como opción "barata" del de Harney & Sons del mismo sabor (el peppermint herbal de lata verde). De lejos prefiero el otro, que nada más abrirlo huele tanto que despeja la nariz. El té de Dalfour está bueno sin llegar a ser nada excepcional. El sabor a menta no es muy fuerte, ni el olor. Probablemente la próxima vez repetiré con el de H&S, esta compra simplemente me ha hecho darme cuenta de que un buen té con menta es complicado de encontrar, y que mejor invertir en el de lata, que tiene mucha más intensidad.

Though Germantown won the North Shore Conference wrestling dual with border rival Homestead, 47-34, Wednesday night, it was Highlander coach Ernie Millard who was the much happier person when the evening was done.
That's because though though his Highlanders had to give up four forfeits to the Warhawks, Homestead actually won six matches on the mat as compared to just four for Germantown. The Highlanders did have motivation, as it was senior night for them.
"We have a couple of huge holes in our line-up because of injuries and so we have to try and work around them," said Millard, "but I was very pleased with how physical and aggressive our more experienced guys were tonight."
The moral victory dovetailed off the Highlanders sound 3-2 effort in the Verona Duals last Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Warhawks, who had come into the meet on a hot streak of their own, took a little step backward this night, according to coach Casey Gabrielson.
"We seemed to come out flat in every match," he said. "We clearly did not wrestle our best tonight, not at all. I'm just not happy."
Especially considering that the Warhawks have to challenge conference and state power Port Washington in another league dual on Thursday.
Still, because of the coin flip, the Warhawks were able to set the line-up well and jump out to an insurmountable 35-6 lead by the time the 106-pound match was over. Tyler Palzkill picked up a forfeit at 160 pounds while Tyler Baran pinned Gage Zupke in 3:07 at 170 to get things started.
The Highlanders' 2012 state qualifier Nick Pierret continued his recent momentum at 182 pounds with a pin over Germantown's Mitchell Stewart in 3:11. Millard has high hopes for Pierret as he will likely drop a weight class before the end of the season.
"His fitness level is very good right now," said Millard.
The Warhawks were able to stretch the lead with a Steve Asmondy pin at 195 over Homestead senior Sean Condon in 1:54 and then earned back-to-back forfeits to 2012 state meet qualifier Hunter Higginbotham at 220 and to Mike Glaser at 285.
Germantown's run of success was finished off with an impressive technical fall in the third period by 106-pounder Zack Szohr over the Highlanders' Doug Lennon.
Szohr was able to do that despite giving up over 20 pounds to Lennon. The five-time state youth champion Szohr may be the most technically competent wrestler on the team based on some reports, but because he only weighs about 82 pounds, he frequently gives away too much weight to compete.
"He's giving up like a third of his body weight to some of the guys he's wrestling," said Gabrielson. "That's just too hard to overcome sometimes. If he had about 10 more pounds on him, it'd be a whole different ballgame because he just doesn't quit until the final whistle."
But after Szohr's win, it was the Highlanders who had the upper hand as Homestead 113-pounder Jacob Sanner rallied from a 4-1 deficit to pin Germantown's Dante Beal in 4:23, and at 120, John Hokeness stuck the Warhawks' Dakotah Barnes in three minutes flat.
Germantown picked up another forfeit at 126 as Josh McNall claimed the win but then the Highlanders continued to be annoying as Drew Waller earned a 12-0 major decision over Germantown's Tyler Colegrove at 132 and then senior Jake Mueller pinned the Warhawks' Nick Aldridge in 4:40 at 138.
The Warhawks Brandon Goesch put the team decision out of reach at 145 pounds with a pin in 1:55 over the Highlanders' Julius Zimmerman, but Homestead got the last word on the night when Zach Lennon flattened Germantown's Jonah Bowe in 1:36 at 152 pounds.
Germantown is now 3-2 in North Shore duals while Homestead, which will take on Milwaukee Lutheran in another league dual on Thursday, fell to 1-3.
Gabrielson said his team can't afford any more flat nights like this one against the caliber of competition it is seeing in the North Shore this season.
"I think it's the toughest its been in about a decade," he said. "Cedarburg, Port, Whitefish Bay, they're all the real deal."
Meanwhile, Millard is hoping to get bodies back so the team can be a little more competitive in duals. He was happy to praise the four seniors who were honored this night (Mueller, Zimmerman, the injured Beau Holter and Condon) in a special program that was given out to fans.
"Those kids put in so much time and effort and have taken so much from me, that the least I could do is give them each a nice little write-up," Millard said with a laugh.

Radio host seeks to make amends after 'Girls' creator and star wins awards at Golden Globes.
Lena Dunham got to take home more than one Golden Globe award Sunday night for her HBO comedy Girls, and on Monday, she got some kind words from Howard Stern.
After saying what some had construed as unkind and very unflattering things a week earlier about Dunham, the series creator and star, shock jock Stern decided he had some explaining to do on his radio show. After all, he was catching heat for describing the actress as "a little fat girl who kinda looks like Jonah Hill."
One his first radio show after the Globes, Stern was trying to make amends. "I felt bad because I really do love the show Girls and enjoy it. And I admire the girl who writes it so ..." And the DJ said any report that portrayed him as bashing Dunham and her show was "a hatchet job."
America's Got Talent judge Stern said Monday that he wanted one of his people to contact Dunham to tell her that "I would like to explain myself to her on the air and apologize to her because I do love the show and it makes me feel bad that she is getting the impression that I somehow think she's just a talentless little fat chick."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Some of you may not know that a lot of Emery County residents like to go out, make noise and get dirty on the weekend. But, they do. The sport is motocross and it has become a favorite of young men across the county.
They pursue their sport from one end of the state to the other at various racetracks. Some competitors even leave the state to catch their share of thrills. They will compete in various age divisions and they are also divided by the size of the motor on their machine. It doesn't matter which brand you ride and each competitor has a favorite and they can tell you why. Some of the bikes will take the turns just so smoothly and others seem to fly like a bird. It doesn't seem to matter why you like a bike, but it is important that you love your machine. They just seem to run better that way.
A lot of the local competitors finished out their year of racing at the Thanksgiving Classic Motocross race held in St. George. This was the last race to finish up the 2002 racing season. All of the local riders finished high on the list and demanded the respect of the other riders in the state. The riders didn't take much time off from racing during the holidays and jumped right back into 2003 with a race on New Year's Day in the Delta Center.
In speaking with some racing families, I learned that they are more than just a little proud of their champions. Mitch Vetere had this to say about his racing son Blair, "On Jan. 1 Blair raced in the Delta Center in their first annual New Year's race. Blair made the main event in the 65 cc 9-11 age group and he placed fifth. He was very excited to get a trophy with so many great riders in attendance.
"This has been a family event for us and we attend the races together, it has really been good for us. I believe you need to keep kids busy. It helps to keep them out of trouble and I think racing is a great way to do that," said Vetere. Blair is the son of Mitch and Sheri Vetere of Green River.
The Veteres are planning for a motocross track in Green River where riders from all over the state will be able to gather for sanctioned events.
The Ben Brady family from Elmo also participate in these wild and crazy events. They have been enjoying racing together for many years and also speak to the family atmosphere at these racing events. Everyone loads up and comes out to support their favorite racer. The Brady racers have included Ty, Buck and Lance. Ty this year was second in the state in the 125 junior class, he was 19th in the open junior class. Lance was 12th in the state in the 125 junior and 13th in the 250 junior. Buck is currently enrolled in the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Phoenix, Ariz. He plans to come back to work in Utah and will be certified in Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda. The Brady's attribute much of their success to their sister Laci who is there at every event to cheer them on.
The Gordon Ungerman family of Huntington have also been in the racing world for a number of years attending events in Utah as well as traveling to Nevada and other states. Clark and Willie have been the racers with the other family members as supporters and pit crew. Clark is a 1999 125 Junior Class State Champion for the USRA. He took two years off for a mission in Denmark and raced for three months when he returned. Willie is the 2002 open intermediate class champion for the state for the USRA. He has been 1st and 2nd in the fall series in Las Vegas in the open intermediate and the 125 intermediate. He is also a 2002 Las Vegas winter series winner finishing 1st in open intermediate and 2nd in 125 intermediate. He has also finished 2nd overall in the ZMA which includes, Arizona, Utah and Nevada in the 125 junior class and also 2nd in the 125 open class. Willie races with number 35 on his bike and Clark races with number 44.
Willie said, "I race because it is fun, it's a thrill when you're on the line ready to start. I like being in the lead and I like the jumping. We've met a lot of people going from place to place....every year we meet the same friends at the races. Next year I am turning pro and then I can race for money instead of trophies. They're a higher class of riders and there will be more competition but the bikes will be the same. It will be more work. I'll have to get back into shape and practice more. I've really enjoyed our family time and getting away together."
The John Ellis family from Ferron is also involved. Their son Scott is an avid racer. He has been racing for two years. His goals are to finish in the top five in his motocross class in 2003 and to attend school at MMI in Phoenix, Ariz.
One of Scott's accomplishments was to finish fifth overall in his class for desert racing.
(The Emery County Progress will spotlight other racers in upcoming issues.)

On the positive side, this dildo has a great shape and the length is just perfect for me. I like the color, and it has the appropriate amount of ability to bend. For those reasons I can't say this is a terrible product.
I have an interest in thicker toys and have been looking for something with those attributes (shorter, not a chunk of plastic) while this meets those criteria, practically, it isn't a useable toy for me. Something about the way it is curved, or else it is 1/2" too thick... It is just bad - not useable in any way. Just not quite right, but if you're looking for something really big get one and try it.
When it first showed up I was very intimidated by the size, definitely bigger than I thought! But after getting over my nerves I can definitely recommend this product. Takes a little patience to get in, but will leave you feeling deliciously full. Not a lot of space left to try and get a vibe next to the clit, but well worth it. Good for solo play, wouldn't recommend for first timers.
I couldn't even insert any part of this gigantic dildo! I guess I'll keep it in the closet for after I pop out a few kids! This guy was waaaaayy bigger than I expected. It's like king kong's dong!
One night, when I was sleeping, my husband awakened my pussy and I to the incredible feel of a large sausage. From that unexpected experience I learned that I like BIG ones, no, make that LOVE big ones. So, he bought Randy, and somehow painstakingly hollowed it out enough that he could wear it over his dick, in a harness. Now, when we have sex, it seems to go on twice as long, and I am thrilled beyond words by the incredible size and feel. It's just one teeth-rattling orgasm after another, especially when we add the Hitachi vibrator.
My husband's cock is just average size, but there are four college boys living next door, and, while three are also about average, the fourth is an incredible 9" x 2 3/8". Fully as long as I can accomodate (very) comfortably, but almost too big around for oral sex. Well, ... almost. So, when it came time to pick out a dildo, I was naturally inspired to get a very large one, and Randy has been perfect. The purple color is sexy, the smooth texture ideal for extended use; and between the huge girth and the ripple behind the head, my G-spot and my whole pussy gets stimulated in a wonderful way I did not think possible. Every woman should have one to take to bed with her. With or without a partner, or partners, if she is that lucky.
My husband and I are newlyweds, and we are so horny we are having sex at least once every day, and usually a lot more than that. Unfortunately, his new job has him out of town often, so I needed something to satisfy my enormous new sexual appetite. Picking Randy was the smartest move I could have made. It is quite large, but just needs a good shove to get in, and, once there, stretches and stimulates me in the most amazing way. My husband is jealous, but gets extremely aroused watching me make love to Randy, with one huge orgasm after another.
I love girthy, not too long designs: natural, or man-made. This has both. I love it. Gets me off every time (w/a bullet)!
Goodbye cucumbers, hello, Randy. This became an instant favorite. After several minutes with my big vibrator, I was ready for all I could get, and Randy really delivered the best feeling ever. Goes in with only a little effort, and once there feels absolutely heavenly. The only thing as good as a big dick is another one. From now one I am a size queen forever.
I was impressed and intimidated by Randy at first glance, but I went for it and bought the toy. The first time I used it was a really interesting experience. It required a good amount of lube and slow, sexy massaging of my cunt with Randy's tip. I definitely felt every inch and had to work up to accommodating the toy's wonderful girth. After a few uses, I have been able to take the whole length and girth and it has been quite pleasurable. I like to use Randy for those occasions when I need a big 'un. It's not an every day toy for me, but a very valuable addition to my collection. My partner also enjoys seeing me take Randy all the way. It's a great toy to use for your own personal peep show.
For the ladies who like a little girth, this is absolutely the best. The first time I tried this big boy out, I was completely blown away, and only got more and more impressed as time went on. It's hard to find a dildo with a good girth, and this is most certainly the best I've found!

Not as cute as pictured
"I got the blue-ish color and they looked not as cute as pictured. I tried them on and the straps looked weird probably will look okay after I wear them for a while."

"Cute sandal, it looks nice on and once I got the straps adjusted right I can just slip them on and off without having to undo the tedious buckle. The detail is nice with the straps and the colors stand out really well. It's a fairly comfortable flat sandal. I'll continue to wear them but I'm not in love with them."

gold shoes
"Perfect in terms of simple style, with some metallic allure without being too much. I bought these to match a coral dress with gold trim and they work perfectly. They are slightly uncomfortable and I wouldn't be surprised if I had a blister on the back of my ankle by the end of the day but they do look really nice. They are slightly narrow but being sandals it doesn't matter much."

Foreign Investment
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pursue a matter that I have addressed to members of the honourable Conservative benches in relation to state Chinese-owned investments in the oil sands. I have been attempting to discover what national security reviews and what foreign investment reviews took place.
The hon. Minister of Industry told the House that the government has improved transparency. In fact the recommendations for greater transparency to the government in 2009 were explicitly rejected. I will be pursuing this matter in the House. I call on my hon. colleagues to help us get to the bottom of this.
Canadians want to know, if we are selling out Canada's interests to China, who is minding the shop? Which foxes are minding the chicken coop?
National Prayer Breakfast
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Colin Mayes Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, on February 2, I attended the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C., hosted by the President of the United States.
Over 3,500 delegates representing government, business and clergy leaders from the United States as well as from 123 countries attended the breakfast. Eric Metaxas, who authored many books including the compelling stories of William Wilberforce and Bonhoeffer, was a keynote speaker. The theme of the event was the great commandment contained in the Good Book: "Love thy neighbour as thyself", and "serve one another in love".
Public policy, military strength or redistribution of wealth is not the recipe for peace in the world. Only the divine spirit of love will overcome oppression, hate and aggression. This message is so simple to see. Why is it so hard to attain?
It was encouraging to attend this event with so many world leaders who understood solutions for world peace lay in the hearts of mankind and not in the might of mankind. Love is a little word. Only people can make it big.
Flooding in Montérégie
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Tarik Brahmi Saint-Jean, QC
Mr. Speaker, in my riding, the Richelieu River frequently floods, causing expensive damage to the property of many residents. Floods like those that occurred in 2011, which affected many Montérégie families, could have been prevented.
The federal government has a history of ignoring the recommendations made in many studies that it commissioned, recommendations to carry out infrastructure work as quickly as possible. Once again, this government stood by, doing nothing, and once again, rising water levels turned the lives of thousands of my constituents upside down.
What will it take for the government to act?
A class action suit was recently filed claiming damages in excess of $200 million. I support these angry citizens, and I ask the government to keep the promises made in 1937 and build the infrastructure needed to protect people living near the river.
Carpenter Hospice

Mike Wallace Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, my wife and I had the honour to attend the 10th anniversary gala for the Carpenter Hospice in Burlington.
Since May 2002, the Carpenter Hospice has served more than 1,200 residents who have ranged in age from 21 to 103. The hospice provides individuals who are dying with high quality palliative care in a home-like setting. It meets their physical, emotional and spiritual needs, making the last days of their lives together with their families peaceful, comfortable and meaningful.
The Carpenter Hospice is blessed with an incredibly dedicated team of caring volunteers and staff. I want to thank all those individuals, community groups and businesses that have contributed to the hospice. They have provided an opportunity for families and friends to gather and to celebrate life with those close to their heart. The residents of Burlington thank the Carpenter Hospice for being there for them for the last 10 years.
May God bless the Carpenter Hospice family and the families it serves.
National Flag of Canada Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, it was on this day in 1965 that, under the watch of Liberal Prime Minister Lester Pearson, the Maple Leaf flag was first raised over the Peace Tower here in Ottawa. Since that day, nearly half a century ago, the Maple Leaf has served as a banner and as a beacon to millions.
For more than 47 years the red and white Maple Leaf flag has fluttered over our heads as a reminder that this nation has been built through the hard work and dedication of both those born here and those who have adopted Canada as their home. Together, we have constructed a society that cares for the vulnerable, values our seniors, educates our children and celebrates the diversity of languages, cultures and beliefs ascribed to by our neighbours.
Canada's national flag may be unpretentious but it represents so much more. It represents a trust that is placed in each one of us, to leave our children a Canada better than the one given to us.
National Flag of Canada Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Wladyslaw Lizon Mississauga East—Cooksville, ON
Mr. Speaker, today we celebrate National Flag of Canada Day. It has been 47 years since our national flag was inaugurated. Our national flag, designed by George Francis Gillman Stanley and John Matheson, made its first appearance on February 15, 1965. Now the date is celebrated annually as National Flag of Canada Day.
Although simple in design, Canada's flag well reflects the common values we hold so dear: freedom, peace, respect, justice and tolerance. The Maple Leaf flag pays homage to our geography, reflects the grandeur of our history and represents our national identity. Canada's flag is a symbol that unites and honours Canadians of all origins who through their courage and determination have helped to build, and are continuing to build, our great country.
Let us be proud of our flag. Let us recognize how privileged we are to live here in Canada, this magnificent country that encompasses our history, our hopes and our future.
Hooked on School Days

February 15th, 2012 / 2:05 p.m.
Isabelle Morin Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, Quebec is marking Hooked on School Days this week, February 13 to 17. As a high school teacher myself, I know that dropout prevention is a key factor in ensuring that Canadians get a good education and succeed in life. Fourteen regions in Quebec have organized hundreds of activities to mobilize communities and rally around our youth to talk to them about hard work, perseverance, the risks associated with dropping out and the advantages of having a diploma.
I would like to commend the work of Academos E-mentoring, an organization in my riding of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine that helps students connect with professionals who can guide them in their career planning. I would like to congratulate the youth employment agencies in Marquette, West Island and NDG. I would also like to congratulate the elementary and secondary schools that have organized appreciation galas, merit galas, scholarships, plays and all kinds of activities to promote staying in school.
Dalbé-Viau and Jean XXIII secondary schools, Martin-Bélanger elementary school, the Jeanne Sauvé adult education centre and the Lester B. Pearson School Board will be particularly active in this week's events. Congratulations.
I would also like to thank West Island Youth Action, the Lachine and NDG youth round tables, the Comité d'action—

Rob Anders Calgary West, AB
Mr. Speaker, this evening there will be an important vote to save taxpayers money. I would like to thank the members of Parliament from Yorkton—Melville and Portage—Lisgar for their hard work and dedication to abolish the Liberal gun registry.
Allan Rock promised that this registry would only cost $2 million. Access to information reports have proved it cost over $2 billion that should have been used to crack down on real criminals. All the registry has done is target law-abiding citizens while doing nothing to reduce crime. People are being forced to navigate red tape, waste time filling out forms and deal with bureaucracy.
We will destroy all records pertaining to the registration of long guns. Our government instead is enacting important mandatory minimum sentences for drive-by shootings. We are also creating longer sentences and tougher bail conditions for using a gun in the commission of another crime.
Once again, I urge all members of Parliament to vote for abolishing the long gun registry.
Stan Reynolds
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Blaine Calkins Wetaskiwin, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mark the passing of one of Alberta's most prominent historical collectors. On February 9, 2012, Alberta lost Stan Reynolds, the inspiration of the Reynolds-Alberta Museum, at the age of 88.
Stan was born in Wetaskiwin in 1923. He joined the Royal Air Force in 1942, where he served in a night fighter squadron that defended Britain during the Second World War. Upon his return to Wetaskiwin, Stan opened a used car dealership, which became so successful that it established Wetaskiwin as a major centre for auto sales.
Stan was always passionate about Alberta's history. He often collected machines that played a major part in Alberta's development. Through this, Stan was able to obtain many artifacts. They were displayed in the Stan Reynolds Museum, which he owned and operated for nearly two decades. In 1981, Stan donated 850 of his most important pieces to the Province of Alberta, which provided a foundation for the Reynolds-Alberta Museum, established in 1992.
Stan received the Alberta Order of Excellence in 1999, the Order of Canada in 2000. In 2009, he was inducted into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame for his role in preserving aviation history.
I want to thank all members of the House for taking a moment to honour the life of Stan Reynolds, one of Wetaskiwin's, Alberta's and Canada's great citizens. I know he will be missed.
HMCS Vancouver

2:10 p.m.
Randall Garrison Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC
Mr. Speaker, this weekend friends and family will gather at CFB Esquimalt, home of the Canadian Maritime Forces Pacific, to welcome home HMCS Vancouver. It has been deployed overseas since July 2011.
I look forward to joining the 225 families of the Vancouver ship's company as they welcome home the sailors, helicopter detachment and command team as they arrive back from the Mediterranean.
The Vancouver crew, helicopter squadron and command team have performed bravely and steadfastly overseas for these many long months. In doing so, they have once again proven Canada's commitment to peace, democracy and international security.
I salute also the bravery and hard work of the families who have been busy at home running households and taking care of children while their loved ones have been away. I also recognize the work of the many community groups which have helped provide support to military families, especially the Military Family Resource Centre.
Congratulations also to the Esquimalt base personnel and Pacific Fleet command for their ongoing support while the Vancouver was away. On behalf of the residents of Greater Victoria, I extend a hearty welcome home and thanks to all the Vancouver ship's company.

John Carmichael Don Valley West, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Maple Leaf forever. It was not our flag until this date in 1965, but our flag has become part of us. It reflects our courage and determination as we work together to build this great country.
Although it was not the flag of Sir John A. or Mr. Diefenbaker, it is our flag today. It was our flag when we welcomed the world at Expo for our centennial, when Paul Henderson defeated the Soviets 40 years ago, and when we send the men and women of the Canadian armed forces overseas to defend freedom and the rule of law.
We are proud to be here representing Canadians under our single red maple leaf that was raised 47 years ago. On behalf of our Conservative government, I would like to wish all Canadians a happy Flag Day.

Anne-Marie Day Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, we are a few hours away from the abolition of the long gun registry that taxpayers have worked hard to pay for. The NDP has been saying loud and clear: this registry is useful. The police use it 17,000 times a day on average, and it costs taxpayers only $4 million a year to maintain it.
I want to acknowledge the exceptional work of dozens of groups and associations that have fought on behalf of women and children who are victims of violence. I have tremendous admiration for the committee known as Ensemble contre la violence faite aux femmes, which has dedicated time and resources in the national capital region to ensuring that the voices of those wanting to keep the registry were heard. I want all the courageous women who vehemently opposed the abolition of the long gun registry to know that there is still hope. The NDP is fighting to defend the interests of women. We are working tirelessly to build a Canada that is safer, more sensible and more humane.

Robert Sopuck Dauphin—Swan River—Marquette, MB
Mr. Speaker, Canadians gave our government a strong mandate to end the wasteful and ineffective long gun registry once and for all. Today members from all sides of the House will vote on the future of this useless measure that has needlessly treated law-abiding hunters, farmers and sports shooters like criminals.
Farmers, ranchers, loggers, hunters, anglers, outfitters and trappers make up my riding of Dauphin—Swan River—Marquette. Hunting is a part of my culture and my way of life, as it is for many of my constituents. They are honest country people who work hard and play by the rules. That is why we find the long gun registry so offensive. The long gun registry is an attack on our way of life, pure and simple.
This is a good day for Canadians, as we will move an important step closer to truly standing up for law-abiding citizens. Our government is focused on measures that keep Canadians safe rather than measures that merely attempt to make them feel safe.
I call on all members of the House to listen to their constituents rather than their backroom party bosses and vote to scrap the long gun—

What people are saying about DOULA!
|"I found the film utterly breathtaking and felt instantly inspired to employ the services of a doula for our next birth." JUNO Magazine
|"This film has some of the most amazing waterbirth/pushing video I have ever seen and shows mothers in various phases of labor, managing labor with nonpharmacological pain relief methods such as positioning, hydrotherapy, walking, squatting, breathing, focusing, vocalization and more! Such joy, confidence and relaxation on the mother and father's faces ~ the way birth should be!" Connie Livingston, President Perinatal Associates, Birthsource.com
|"I'd recommend any soon-to-be mum considering a doula to watch this video. It is not only informative but sheds a very positive light on the whole birth experience." Babyworld.co.uk
|"The first birth (a home waterbirth) was lovely and I would consider showing it as an educational piece to women and their partners. The calm reassurance being given by the doulas and the practical support, which freed up the partners to be more physically and emotionally involved, was wonderful." MIDWIVES Magazine
|"The film gave me goosebumps and I had tears streaming down my cheeks" Suzanne Borrell, Director BabyExpo & The Business Mums Conference

|"I wanted to let you know I think it's an absolutely amazing film. I am planning to train as a Doula in October and decided to invest in your film first to back up my belief that it is the right thing for me to do.
Your film has definitely confirmed for me this is the right path to follow. It is filmed so beautifully and respectfully. It is a truly inspirational piece of work and it has left me feeling a little bit awe-struck and very excited about my future.
It is a film every expectant parent should see. If I had seen this before the birth of my first child I would have felt empowered to make the choices I wanted." Doula trainee

Skip to comments.Obama's Web site on "Judeofascist Semites"
Posted on 06/09/2008 2:25:47 PM PDT by Winged Hussar
Do you realize what utterly horrific price we pay that our Congress has been bought by AIPAC and the right wing Israeli nazi party (yeah - thats you Bibi) and the war crimes we have in the works for Iran? What do you think about that, Sen Obama? How about you, Barack? How about Sen Dodd? ...
These Judeofacists and their Neocon comrades have already destroyed America - we will need a new constitution to redress the crimes these Neocons (Israeli-firsters) have brought upon us. The entire Congress should be overthrown by revolution for having sold America to the Israelis - for $165K a year our Congress has sold or cowered before AIPAC, the American Enterprise Institute , and Israel. There is no longer an America - there is a slavish, blackmailed, cowardly group of trash - land of the slaves, home of the cowards. Those are our American values - that is who we are. Our attack on Iran will be the END of America - we deserve everything we get - for the centuries it takes - to avenge the war crimes that have been committed in our names, with our tax dollars, with the perverts we have elected. fini America - we never faced down Krystol and Dershowitz and called them the Judeofacist semites they are until it was too late. How cute. How cowardly. How pathetic

Hannity and Rush need to run with these!!!
Obama's a divider, not a uniter. His followers are driven by hate. Hate America. Hate Jews. Hate Whites. Hate the American military. Every enemy of America seems to love Obama. They know he will do his worst to destroy us.
Well, Rush and Hannity's people certainly monitor these boards (as does Mark Levin) so you may get your wish.
He should have been in trouble the moment they found che flags in his offices.
Obama needs to police his web site more carefully. You never know who might be posting stuff on a blog — or why. People on the net aren't always what they present themselves to be.
These leftists have so much hate in their hearts. No wonder they try to bend the rest of us towards their will. Misery loves company.
News flash for Liberal Jews
from a Conservative Republican Jew
Hitler's BACK! Better wake up!!!
Very true. He can't help it anymore than a carcass can control the class of maggots it attracts. Nevertheless, as long as the carcass is there, the maggots will come.
I didn't know Pat blogged for Obama!
I get invalid page requested.
Good luck with that one!
One member of the audience asked McCain how his vice-president search was going. McCain replied he was using Google to narrow down his options. What you can find out now on the internet, its remarkable, he joked.
Yes. And he would be a good thing between freeways, not in the White House.
This is far from the first time blatant antisemitic posts have occurred at my.barackobama.com, an official Obama campaign site. It has been an ongoing pattern for months and this kind of rot has come from many different posters there.
Let's let "Osama" Obama take care of his own problem, if he so chooses. But it should be noted that crude antisemitic bloggers are attracted to Obama's web site like wolves to a carcass. In other words, naturally! It doesn't take a genius to figure out why.
A good number of them are so addicted to the 'Rats that they just can't help themselves and will go ga-ga for any candidate with the letter "D" next to his name.
Having said that, I am maintaining my prediction that McCain will get at minimum 40 percent of the Jewish vote, and that estimate might be conservative. In other words, this could be a watershed election in that respect.
>>He can't help it anymore than a carcass can control the class of maggots it attracts. Nevertheless, as long as the carcass is there, the maggots will come.
Can I use that? I'm not sure on who or what or where, but it is quite elegant and I like it...creates an effective visual image in the mind
It's dead, Jim!
LOL! Help yourself. I cannot, however, guarantee universal approbation.
"ERROR: invalid page requested" It's dead, Jim!It's obvious that Obama's people are watching Free Republic, because it was up a mere 12 hours ago.
Or else people who wish to be perceived as such.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out why.
Because it's boob bait for bubbas?
Well, "Osama" Obama doesn't really need any help from tricksters to show his antisemitic and anti-Israel credentials. He's already amply demonstrated them by his choice of church and pastor, his choice of foreign policy adivsors, his position on the board of a "charity" that gave grants to a Pali terrorist group, his friendships with people like Prof. Said, his statements about the Israel-Palestinian conflict, etc., etc.
It's ridiculous and mischievous to suggest that Obama is anti-semitic simply because he doesn't toe the AIPAC line. AIPAC is a lobbying organisation that promotes Israeli interests. That's their right under US law. That doesn't mean the rest of us have to tag along — and I, for one do not. Israel has its own interests, which it needs to pursue within the community of nations. And we have ours.
Yes, I do have doubts about who posted that stuff on Obama's site, and why. Politics ain't beanbag, you know. And neither is black ops.
That would indeed appear to be the case. But am I the intended recipient of this epistle? No matter either way; just wondering.

Monday of Publican and Pharisee
The Gospel according to Mark 12:13-17
At that time, the chief priests and scribes sent Jesus some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to entrap him in his talk. And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?" But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin, and let me look at it." And they brought one. And he said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesar's." Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were amazed at him.

Work has begun on the widening of the Rilda Canyon road. The road leads to the Rilda portal of the Deer Creek Mine. There is an intake fan at the site. The road project will include paving and work will continue through the summer, approximately another two months.
The Rilda project by Emery Mining was scaled back from its original purportions. No impact is anticipated to the Rilda Spring. Any runoff at the portal site will run off into an evaporation pond which is below the springs. Currently the North Emery Water Users lines in Rilda are disabled due to the road construction. The spring water is running into the creek. Rocky Mountain Power has a well by the power plant and the North Emery users are currently utilizing that water as well as extra water from the Castle Valley Special Service District. North Emery water users won't notice any change in service.
Part of the Rilda road project will include re-installation of the North Emery water lines after the road is completed. Another road project in the county is the South Moore Cut-off road project Phase III, bid has been awarded to Nielson Construction. The construction of Phase III which connects Phases I and II will begin the middle of July. The paving contract will be awarded by August and some paving will begin this season and continue into summer 2008. The paving projects will be phases V and VI.

The Olympic athlete is an icon of superior physical, mental, spiritual fitness, and discipline. Kris Freeman, 2010 U.S. Olympic cross-country skier, best exemplifies this type of athletic persona. Exercise and type 1 diabetes is a balancing act for the Olympic and non-Olympic athlete that can never be perfected. The feat is challenging for any athlete, let alone an individual with type 1 diabetes.
Long endurance sports such as cross-country skiing, distance cycling, and marathon running can deplete the muscle stores of glucose that may take up to 18-24 hours for the body to replace. If the muscles lose the glucose stores the energy is gone and the race is over (also called hitting the wall). Kris Freeman has trained intensely through trial and error using multiple variables to best determine any situation he may confront and how to balance his diabetes management to pursue the best outcome.
My hat is off to Kris and the many other Olympic and non-Olympic athletes that have pursued how to balance exercise and type 1 diabetes. I have two posters in my office that say:
Thank you, Kris Freeman, for demonstrating these attributes, and for your example to all people and especially those with diabetes; that anything is possible with planning, knowledge and perseverance.
Have a good week,
Sara J. Carlson, R.N., C.D.E.
Peggy Moreland, R.N., C.D.E.

Thanks for a very uplifting story. I love what you said about perseverance and getting up again.....and yet again. That's what life is all about, with or without a disease. I hope a lot of people read this blog and are encouraged. Thanks!
"Hitting the wall" describes a condition caused by the depletion of glycogen stores in the liver and muscles. Endurance sports deplete these stores of glycogen causing a sudden fatique or loss of energy.
"If the muscles lose the glucose stores the energy is gone and the race is over (also called hitting the wall" This does not make sense what are you trying to say
Hats off to Kris Freeman. A few years ago, I chaperoned a cross-country skiing trip for my son's high school. Two of the skiers (and I) had insulin pumps. They were very adept at managing their insulin requirements during 6-8 hour days of intense exercise. I also learned NOT to wear the pump tubing on the outside of my clothing - it freezes.
i thought "hitting the wall" had to do with a build-up of lactic acid . . . i guess i was taught incorrectly.
So I'm curious re the trick to maintaining a rigorous athletic lifesyle on Insulin. I am a 57 yearold , lean muscular woman who enjoys long distance bicycling, Multipitch rock climbing , moutaineering, ice climbing, back packing and trailrunning. I am confronted by a recent failure of multiple oral meds to control my sugars and will likely need insulin. I'm a bit nervous re hypoglycemia -- any thoughts?

When baking bread and other pastries, some recipes call for an egg wash, others for brushing the top with milk. Are they interchangeable?
April Finnegan, New York, NY
Nicole Rees replies: Brushing with an egg wash gives a different effect than using milk, so they are not interchangeable. (Read more about how you can tweak your egg wash for the effect you're after). Pastry chefs use an egg wash primarily for shine, though the egg yolk will contribute a golden color to the finished baked product. For a clear shine, an egg white alone can be used. Milk, on the other hand, is used to encourage browning. For example, scones and biscuits will be pale on top (even though the bottom side is brown) if not brushed with milk or cream before baking.
Dairy products contain both amino acids and certain types of sugars that react with one another in the high heat of the oven and undergo what is called the Maillard, or browning, reaction. This process creates the appetizing golden color we see, but more important, it develops the savory flavor of browned foods.

By WILLIAM SHARPCastle Dale
Dear Editor,
It appears that if an issue has anything to do with worshiping God or keeping His commandments, the atheist left is determined to make the religious right bow.
They have succeeded in forcing Christians to stop the traditional American practice of openly worshiping God in state owned schools and government buildings. Now they are determined to take their agenda to the next level and force Christians to participate in their Godless termination of innocent children.
California and New York, under the direction of the left have enacted laws forcing employers to provide health care benefits which include coverage of abortifacient methods of contraception: i.e. birth control pills, the morning after pill, and RU 486, all of which act all of the time or part of the time to abort a child after conception (ask your local doctor to see the physicians insert contained with these pills, detailing how they work and exactly what they do).
At the center of this controversy is the Catholic church and our 2,000 year old stand against all abortions and abortifacient methods of birth control. As a major employer in both California and New York, the Catholic church now is engaged in a major court battle seeking to maintain their religious freedom to reject participation in these acts which clearly violate 2,000 years of our history, teaching and practice. According to observers the outlook is grim and courts stacked with left facing judges are about to attempt to force Catholics to obey a law which clearly violates their beliefs.
Like Daniel, Paul and others in the Bible who declared that "it is better to obey God than man," the Catholic church has long ago taken a stand on such matters. The Gospel of Life #74 states that "Christians, like all people of good will, are called upon under grave obligation of conscience not to cooperate formally in practices which, even if permitted by civil legislation, are contrary to God's law. Indeed, from the moral standpoint, it is never licit to cooperate formally in evil...."
This was the American way. The First Amendment to the Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, is now interpreted as Government shall make numerous laws respecting all establishments of religion and shall prohibit nearly all of the free exercise thereof and force religions to compromise on their moral beliefs. To quote a few of those who created American freedom: "Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God" Thomas Jefferson; "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other," John Adams; "We must all hang together, or, assuredly, we shall all hang separately," Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.
Defending the right of the religious to refuse participation in gross acts which violate long held beliefs was the American way . If we are to avoid the complete take over by the atheist left, the Christian right must stand together and uphold religious freedom regardless of our differing beliefs.

Leafs Prospect Update: February 5, 2013
Justin Fisher
February 05 2013 07:10AM
Who says Brian Burke is full of hot air?
Leafs TV aired it's annual 'Behind the Draft' special this past Friday, and shone a little more light on the Morgan Rielly selection. Immediately after Burke took to the podium and called Rielly's name, and before Rielly reached the stage, the microphone picks up a quick conversation between Burke and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.
"Is that who you wanted?" Bettman asks.
"We had him first... rated first overall." Burke responds.
Now, we've heard this before. Burke told the media shortly after the pick that the Leafs had Rielly ranked first, ahead of Nail Yakupov, Ryan Murray, and Alex Galchenyuk. However, nobody really believed him. Most wrote the comment off as 'Burke being Burke', but maybe this small clip will change some folks' minds. Perhaps the Leafs actually did think Rielly was the best player available in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Perhaps he'll turn out to be.
Another little tidbit that came out of 'Behind the Draft': New York Islanders GM Garth Snow called the Leafs draft table just before the Isles' pick to talk trade, making the 4th overall pick available. After a small pow-wow Burke returned to the Leafs table and asked his scouts if they want to move up. The scouts emphatically said 'No'. The Leafs stayed put, and the rest is history.
As for Rielly's on-ice accomplishments, four assists in Friday's 8-4 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers brings the blueliner's point totals to seven goals and 36 points in 41 game - good for 8th in scoring amongst defencemen. It would be safe to assume higher numbers had it not been for the World Juniors Championships and an NHL training camp.
It looks like Joshua Leivo is enjoying his time in Kitchener so far, or so his stat line would lead us to believe. The Rangers winger had a goal and two assists in two weekend games, and is currently on a nine game point streak (three goals, nine assists. Leivo sits 16th in OHL scoring with 23 goals and 58 points in 46 games.
Everyone's favorite college speed demon, Tony Cameranesi, scored a goal and assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to University of Denver. The Minnesota-Duluth forward has 11 goals and 24 points in 26 games this season, sitting a single point behind St. Cloud State Finnish import Kalle Kossila for the lead in WCHA freshmen scoring.
Lastly, Max Everson is set to take part in the USHL's first ever outdoor game this coming Saturday, when his Omaha Lancers face off against the Lincoln Stars. Everson started the season playing NCAA hockey for the Harvard Crimson, but left the team following an "academic scandal". With Omaha, Everson has contributed a goal and five assists in 16 games from the backend.
You gotta love Burke's candor and honestly with saying he would take Reilly first overall and above busts like Yakupov and Grigorenko who can barely play at an NHL level.

You gotta love Burke's candor and honestly with saying he would take Reilly first overall and above busts like Yakupov and Grigorenko who can barely play at an NHL level.
You do realize Yakupov would be leading the Leafs in goals right now, yes?

Although the majority of the American public doesn't realize it, an R.S. 2477 right-of-way is their only guaranteed access across public lands. All other access rights are at the discretion of politically appointed bureaucrats, who often live far away from the lands at issue. If you understand this, you understand the importance of continued vigilance in the defense of these road rights.
R.S. 2477 refers to a now-repealed portion of the 1866 Mining Act, which states "the right of way for the construction of highways over public lands, not reserved for public uses, is hereby granted." While the grant was repealed in 1976, rights-of-way previously created under the statute can effectively remain "grandfathered" in use and available to the public today. R.S. 2477 claims have engendered great passion and confusion throughout the West, where state and local governments, federal land managers, public access proponents, wilderness advocates and private property owners have regularly taken irreconcilable positions on the issue.
On Sept. 8, a three judge panel of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision that could bolster the efforts of local governments and public access proponents to protect R.S. 2477 rights of way. The decision represents a huge victory for millions of Americans who value access to public lands.
The ruling came in an appeal from a U.S. District of Utah decision in SUWA v. Bureau of Land Management (D.C. NO. 2:96-CV-836-TC). The litigation began in 1996 when road crews employed by Utah's San Juan, Kane, and Garfield counties graded 16 roads located in southern Utah. The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) and other anti-access groups filed suit against the three counties and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). SUWA alleged that the counties had engaged in unlawful road construction activities and that the BLM had violated the law by not taking more aggressive action against the road maintenance. The BLM subsequently filed cross-claims against the counties, alleging their activities constituted trespass and degradation of federal property. The counties claim the road maintenance activities were lawful because the activities took place within valid R.S. 2477 rights-of-way.
The legislation wound its way through the U.S. District Court in Utah for years until 2001, when Judge Tina Campbell issued a ruling that basically adopted SUWA's line of legal reasoning. Judge Campbell thus granted SUWA and BLM's request, and ruled that the counties did not have R.S. 2477 rights of way on 15 of the 16 roads at issue and that the counties maintenance work violated the law and constituted trespass under federal regulations.
A three-judge panel of the Tenth Circuit reversed that ruling, finding that state law, not federal regulation, properly guides interpretation of the existence and scope of any R.S. 2477 roads. The case was remanded to the district court for new proceedings to address the validity of the counties' right-of-way claims, the scope of any such rights-of-way, and whether the maintenance actions constituted "trespass" on federal lands.
It will take some time to evaluate the impact of this important decision, but it is safe to call it a significant blow to SUWA's and BLM's attempt to invalidate county road claims. The Circuit Court instructed parties to focus on state law concepts in evaluating the counties' actions. SUWA and BLM had argued it was federal regulation that should decide. R.S. 2477 claims have always presented complex legal, factual and political challenges. This ruling will help clarify the rules of the game.
To multiple use advocates, this ruling was not unexpected. From the minute it was issued it was assumed that much, if not all, of the Campbell ruling would be overturned on appeal. But the ruling was made in 2001, and since then we've had to endure the anti-access crowd waving it in our face and working hard to represent Campbell's ruling as settled precedent.
County commissioners, state legislators, Governors and multiple use advocates across the West have had their resolve and patience tested. Indeed, using Campbell's ruling, many county commissioners have been courted by the federal agencies to take actions that would diminish public rights of way. County commissioners were threatened with the prospect of Campbell's ruling becoming settled law, and that was used as a reason to quit fighting for R.S. 2477 rights.
To the anti-access groups this fight is a key step in their efforts to eliminate public access to public lands. Wealthy foundations are funding this effort, and their lobbyist's have convinced the highest levels of the federal agencies to support it. The fight has put pro-access groups in the situation of defending principles that should be settled law, and fighting the federal agencies whose job it is to support and defend that law.
The Blue Ribbon Coalition wants to express its sincere appreciation to our partners in Utah who kept the pressure on local and state governments to vigorously defend these access rights. The lawsuit would not have been supported if politicians didn't realize their constituents want them to defend our road rights.
Sometimes it's necessary to remind them, and now may be a great opportunity to do that by placing a phone call to your county commissioner and telling them "thanks for supporting the 2477 legal battle!"
Brian Hawthorne is Public Lands Director for The BlueRibbon Coalition, a national recreation group that champions responsible use of public and private lands based in Pocatello, Idaho. Hawthorne formally served as Executive Director of the Utah Shared Access Alliance, Utah's largest public lands access advocacy group.

The #17 Fairfield University men's lacrosse team reached double digits in wins for the first time since 2005 and clinched a berth in the ECAC Lacrosse League Championship with a 12-10 victory over host Air Force this afternoon at Falcon Stadium. The Stags improve to 10-2 on the year and 3-1 in league play, while the Falcons fall to 6-5 overall and 1-3 in ECAC action.
The Falcons scored three straight goals in a 2:41 span to close a four-goal deficit to just one, 11-10, with 1:56 to play in the game. Air Force won the ensuing face-off and put a shot on net with 87 seconds remaining but Charlie Cipriano made his season-best equaling 16th save of the game to turn the Falcons away. Fairfield would successfully clear the ball and Sam Snow would net his third tally of the game to give the Stags a two-goal cushion with 48 seconds remaining. Michael Row would win the final face-off, his 12th of the game, to seal the win.
Snow paced the Stags offense with five points on the afternoon, completing the hat trick and handing out two assists. Tristan Sperry scored a career-high four goals, including a tally 12 seconds into the final stanza, to pace the Fairfield offense.
Cipriano made 16 saves in the game, as Air Force peppered the Stags defense with 45 shots in the game. The Stags senior keeper also picked up three ground balls in the contest. Air Force goalkeeper Austin Fox made 11 saves as the Stags found the goal 12 times and put 23 of 27 shots on cage.
Fairfield jumped out to a 3-0 lead as Connor Maniatty (13:35), John Snellman (10:50) and Nick Tandoi (9:53) found the back of the net in the first 5:07 of play. Tom Burgess slowed the Stags attack with the Falcons first goal at the 7:04 mark, but 94 seconds later Snow netted his first of the game to give Fairfield a 4-1 edge. Sperry struck for his first at the 3:54 mark, for what would be the largest margin of the game, 5-1. Air Force answered with the final two goals of the first quarter and the first of the second, to draw back within a goal, 5-4, 30 seconds into the period.
After over eight minutes of empty possessions for both sides, Sperry took matters into his own hands. He scored unassisted goals at the 6:17 and 1:49 mark to push the Fairfield lead to 7-6. Brent Adams got into the act 30 seconds later as he netted a Snow pass to give the Stags and 8-4 halftime lead.
Air Force would come on again in the second-half, scoring goals at the 8:33 and 6:53 marks to close within two goals, but again Snow played a hand in fending off the rally. With a man-up advantage coming to a close Snow found Jordan Greenfield for an extra-man tally to make the score 9-6. Sperry's fourth goal, 12 seconds into the fourth quarter pushed the lead back to four, 10-6. Kyle Cassady scored for Air Force 73 seconds later and Snow followed at 11:36 to put the Stags lead at four, 11-7, for the final time. Tommy McKee (4:39 & 1:56) sandwiched goals around Marcus Walker (2:49) to get the Falcons within a goal with under two minutes to play.
Roe went 12-22 at the face-off X on the afternoon and corralled a game-best nine ground balls. Marshall Johnson went 2-4 in the face-offs he contested and finished with four ground balls. Brendan McTague had four ground balls, including picking up the ball after the final face-off with the Stags leading by two. Reed Marko had four of the Stags nine caused turnovers in the contest. The Fairfield defense was perfect in man-down chances, denying Air Force in all five of its opportunities. The Stags were 1-1 in their man-up chances.
Snellman's goal extended his scoring streak to 22 consecutive games, the fifth longest in the nation. The streak started in the Stags home win over Air Force season.
The Stags complete ECAC road play without a blemish for the first time, going 2-0. It marks the sixth time in program history that the Stags have reached 10 wins in a season.
Fairfield returns home for its final two games of the season, beginning April 21 when defending league champion Denver visits Lessing Field for a 1 p.m. game.
