While the Flames shipped out Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester and replaced them with prospects that Barry Fraser wouldn't draft, the Oilers skate into the Saddledome ready to show Flames fans what six years of sucking can do for you.
The Flames haven't won a playoff series since 2004, the Oilers have won three since then, and in 24 days the Phlegms will be out of the playoffs for the 4th straight year. Make no mistake the last seven years have been brutal for Oilers fans, but at least they have something to show for their loyalty. The Oilers seven-year drought produced Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov, Magnus Paajarvi and Sam Gagner.
The Flames' plunge into suckville has garnered them first rounders like: Mikael Backlund (softer than oleo), Greg Nemisz (4th liner in AHL), Tim Erixon (oops, he wouldn't sign in your dump of a city), _______ (didn't have 1st or 2nd round pick when missing 2010 playoffs), Sven Baertschi (solid potential 2nd liner) and Mark Jankowski (say it slowly, Stanstead College in Quebec).
Rob Schremp and Marc Pouliot had a brighter future.
Most Oilers fans won't poke that much fun at Calgary, okay one might in a few paragraphs, mainly because Edmontonians doesn't possess the inferiority complex that exists in Calgary. Oiler fans won't need to say, "At least we finished higher in the standings than you," which was the rallying cry in Calgary the last three years.
Think about that for a second.
Your team never made the playoffs, in fact they "Choked" every year in the final ten games. For the past three years, the Flames were close to the playoffs with ten games to go, and in those combined 30 games, you won a paltry 12. You averaged 4 wins in the final 10 games of the season in your annual push-to-the-playoffs-only-to-fail-and-not-get-a-top-ten-pick.
The only thing more inept than Steve Tambellini's summer free agent signings, is the Flames management in February and March and the Flames play on the ice in March and April.
Which leads us to tonight...
The Oilers and their fans head into this game knowing they will win, which is exactly how the Flames and their fans have felt the last three years. It won't be much of a battle, considering the Flames most effective forward these days is Brian McGrattan.
The Flames got a better return for Joe Piskula than they have for Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester. At least McGrattan is on your team and contributing. Top-notch GMing by Feaster and company.
- Hall/Nugent-Hopkins/Eberle
- Paajarvi/Gagner/Hemsky
- Jones/Horcoff/Yakupov
- Brown/Smyth/Petrell
- Smid/Petry
- N.Schultz/J.Schultz
- Whitney/Potter
- Dubnyk
The Flames will counter with a lineup that would battle stage an epic battle with the 2010 Oilers:
GAME DAY PREDICTION: Oilers win their 5th straight with an easy 4-2 win. The Oilers top line has combined for 19 points in the last four games and they will register six tonight.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Many in Calgary will claim, "Awesome deal, getting something (5th rounder) for Blake Comeau." Get used to saying this Flames fans, as you enter into the phase where you think every draft pick will pan out eventually.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: After he admitted Monday night that he hadn't been, "intellectually honest about his team," Jay Feaster announces during the 2nd period intermission that the Flames will indeed be a playoff contender next year. "Mikka Kiprusoff begged me not to trade him today. He's committed to winning and we will sign him to an extension in the summer.
"Also, now that Jarome Iginla, who secretly always preferred his hometown over Calgary, is gone our core guys will flourish. Want to wager on where we finish relative to Edmonton next year? I'll tell you very honestly. I'm getting a little sour. How many teams . . . every year, for the last 10 years, five years, eight years, have finished in the bottom five, bottom seven, bottom 10? They've had a pick anywhere from No. 1 to No. 10 year after year after year after year, and they still wander in the desert. And they're no closer to getting out than they were 10 years ago. We are still positioned better than the Oilers," screams Feaster.
Good times...
***UPDATE...Turns out the NSOGDB wasn't that far off... An actual quote from Jay Feaster today..."Murray Edwards (Flames majority owner) told me last evening that he expects us to be in the playoffs next year." You can't make this up. Wow, Edwards is delusional if he believes that.
Jeanshorts runs the Oilersnation twitter and when he heard I was writing this GDB he begged me to let him write a quite blurb on behalf of all Oilers fans... so here goes...
Oh, Calgary...
Where do we even begin?
You're like the Springfield Tire Yard of the NHL; You're ugly, can be smelled in 46 states (and 10 provinces) and you're nothing but a humungous pile of burning rubble at this point.
If this is what Jay Fester considers "retooling" then dear god DO NOT let him near your car. It'd be like Pimp My Ride if instead of putting TV's and a new engine in they blew the car up and told you to "never speak of this again!"
Although, it's not like we should really be surprised that Feaster buttfumbled BOTH the Iginla and Bouwmeester trades. We've all seen Spaceballs; it's only a matter of time until he accidentally locks himself in a limousine and eats himself to death.
But hey, it's not all no-name prospects and crying into your cousins breasts in Cowtown. I mean, at least your leading goal scorer isn't former Oiler 4th liner Curtis Glencross.
And it's not like you're relying on a guy who hasn't played an NHL game in 4 years and only has 11 career wins to be your number one goalie next season.
Or that your hot-shot first round pick flamed out (PUN INTENDED) with only one assist in his 10-game stint.
Or that you traded away two of your marquee players and somehow wound up with an even worse prospect pool than you started with, which was already one of the worst in the league.
Actually, basically all that's left is for Murray Edwards to sign Feaster to a five year extension and you'll be set!
You know what, this is typical Calgary. First you steal all our business headquarters and now you have the audacity to steal the title of "Most Comically Inept Run Team In The National Hockey League"? THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!
Unfortunately Calgary looks like they'll be rewarded for this absolute atrocity of a season with a top-three pick. The good thing is that with their recent draft history the nation of Bosnia will be able to celebrate their country's first ever draft pick as the Flames select their top high school player Ahmed Mujo (56GP-0G-0A).
We fully believe in Karma and things coming full circle. Flames fans, and management, have been ripping the Oilers futility hard for the last 4 years. I hope you brought a flashlight, sleeping bag and foamy Calgary, because the basement is dark, damp and it smells like Jerry Sandusky's rec room. Payback's a bitch and this one's going to hurt. A lot.
Tell your hot cousin I said what's up.

I'll let Steve Armitage conclude as I'll avoid vomiting on your perception:
Doubt if I have ever met your "missus" let alone smelled her. I think I can safely assume she smells like the Michelin factory and "she" is deflated and folded neatly under your race car bed.
Is your (court mandated) psychologist aware of your offerings on this site?
My favourite part of the game was where Calgary got their asses handed to them.

Guardian Project
Police officers are the guardians of our community and are a special breed of people. They do the work that not just anybody could do, or even want to. Daily, they face the unknown, which after the events of September 11, has new importance and appreciation in all of our hearts.
The "Eastside Guardian" Community Project is a way to publicly acknowledge the outstanding job that our community's police officers do every day, in the neighborhoods where we live and work. To this end, the "Eastside Guardian" Community Project Fundraising Committee has commissioned an artist to create a bronze sculpture that captures the pride, confidence and decency that the Eastside Minneapolis Community feels about the police officers that protect our homes, workplaces and neighborhoods.
The project is being carried out independent of city or state funding. We are asking businesses, organizations and individuals to support this tribute and take part in honoring our law enforcement officers. This is a time in our history when it is essential that their efforts are recognized and reinforced because they are the individuals who strive to make the Eastside a safe place to live, work and play.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to this important project. Make your check payable to:

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County Drug Task Force was instrumental in sending a Huntington man away on federal weapons violation charges. The investigation was the result of a home invasion robbery in Huntington where the man said he had been robbed at gun point and a shot was fired. He said they took his oxycontin. Apparently the man fabricated the report to be able to obtain another prescription for oxycontin.
The investigation yielded the information that the man reporting the home invasion was was a restricted person who should not have been in possession of any firearms. Detective John Barnett saw the weapons in the man's possession. A search warrant was obtained and an arrest warrant was issued. The Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents aided with the arrest of the man. They had eight agents along with the Emery County Drug Task Force that served the search warrant. The man Victor Gilmore was in the Shady Acres trailer park in Huntington.
There was no resistance from Gilmore, as officers approached the trailer, he allowed them to enter the residence. In the resulting search there were three guns located and numerous rounds of ammunition for the guns as well as a small amount of marijuana.
Evidence gathered in the fabricated home invasion story led investigators to find out Gilmore was convicted of domestic violence in another state and a lifetime protective order is in effect for his ex-wife in Washington State. It is believed Gilmore was in the area because he had some relatives in Price. He was living on disability and didn't hold a job in the area.
Gilmore was transported to Salt Lake by the ATF officers where he went before a federal magistrate on weapons violation charges. Locally he could be charged with simple possession and filing a false police report.
Federal charges could result in his spending four years in federal prison. He will be bound over for trial on these charges.
Detective Barnett said people should be aware of those persons who should not be in possession of fire arms. They include: people who are mentally incompetent; people dishonorably discharged from the military; illegal aliens; people who denounce their citizenship; people who are convicted felons; people who commit domestic violence; people with protective orders against them and people on parole or probation.
Barnett said the sheriff's office has dealt with Gilmore on a few occassions.
Once for fighting with a neighbor and for intoxication.
Sheriff LaMar Guymon wants everyone to be aware that the rumors of a home invasion and a shooting in Huntington have been found to be unsubstantiated with further investigation of this case.

NFL Draft Report

Bills picking safety at 8 makes a lot of sense
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Apr 12 2013 1:46PM
Stop. Hold it right there. I already know your ammunition for even the title of this article.
"What is this? Donte Whitner all over again?!"
You can have that line of thinking back, just as long as you read through why the Buffalo Bills drafting a safety at 8th overall might make more sense than you'd think.
Deal? Okay, great. Here goes nothing:
When you look at the Bills roster as it's constructed, there are plenty of glaring needs that jump out at you. Whether it be quarterback, wide receiver, tight end, guard, pass rusher, linebacker, cornerback or safety, there will be no shortage of players in this year's draft that the Bills could use.
When talking about eighth overall, assuming that quarterback may be more of a second-round option with this year's group, safety would rank near the top of positions they have a need for. Factoring out quarterbacks, here is why I'd discredit some of the other positions before I would with safety:
Tight End
- Unless you're getting a lock solid tight end that will be a Pro Bowl player for years, selecting a tight end with as many needs as they have at eighth overall makes little sense.
- I honestly believe that the Bills would have made more of an effort early on to re-sign Andy Levitre if they valued the guard position all that much. They found Kraig Urbik and Chad Rinehart off the waiver wire. Urbik is a solid starter and Rinehart served as the top backup. You can find guards in the middle rounds.
Pass Rusher -
With the signing of Manny Lawson to a four-year contract, where does a versatile pass rusher fit in to this defense right away? Lawson, Mario Williams and Mark Anderson are already there. If you draft a guy like Dion Jordan or Jarvis Jones, that's the same role you just signed Lawson to do.
Linebacker -
First of all, who's to say they've given up on Kelvin Sheppard and Nigel Bradham yet? Sheppard is entering his third season, and Bradham showed flashes during his rookie season. They certainly aren't All-Pro players at this point, but you could do far worse. Secondly, is there someone worthy of the eigth overall pick that plays either middle or weakside linebacker? It doesn't appear so.
Cornerback -
This would have been a much stronger consideration had the Bills not re-signed Leodis McKelvin. Since they did, they'll have a full-scale competition between him, Aaron Williams and Ron Brooks to see who comes out victorious. Also, if you believe the Buddy Nix principles (which you should by this point), they will select a cornerback at some point of the draft -- likely within rounds two through four. They'll compete for the job as well.
So where does that leave us? Wide receiver and safety. The two most logical positions, outside of quarterback, that the Bills should address in this draft. There are many reasons why safety at eight overall makes more sense than taking a wide receiver there.
First and foremost, the value of the wide receivers. With
Lance Zierlein's report
that Tennessee wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson is slipping on draft boards and could even be available in the second round, that means that the Bills have not invited the top two receivers (Tavon Austin and DeAndre Hopkins) in for draft visits this year.
If you don't view that to be significant, then recall what Buddy Nix said about the type of wide receiver they would be looking for. In so many words, Nix said they want a receiver who is open even when he is not. To interpret, that would mean the player has to possess either superior size, physicality or a combination of the two. That is not Tavon Austin, and eighth overall is a bit too early for DeAndre Hopkins.
Let's get in to more of the case for safety now. Of course, there is the hold steady at the position. Former fourth-round pick Da'Norris Searcy worked his way in to the rotation last season, even taking reps away from starter George Wilson at strong safety. Searcy is said to have a good presence against the run, but he may not be fully developed when opponents fight through the air.
Searcy was also a favorite of the last coaching staff, mind you. And that coaching staff, with the presence of Searcy, Wilson and even Jairus Byrd, were enamored by Alabama safety Mark Barron in the 2012 NFL Draft. If he were on the board at tenth overall, I've been told that Barron would have been in a Bills uniform.
Now, with Wilson out of the equation and a new coaching staff and a brand new defense, Searcy starts off from sqaure one.
The looming situation involving Jairus Byrd's contract needs to be considered as well. Byrd, franchised by the Bills this off-season, is with Buffalo for one more year. Past that? Who really knows. The Bills could always franchise him for a second season, or they could even let him walk if they can't agree on a fair price.
One day, Byrd will get paid with a large free agent contract. Whether or not it's with the Bills will be the big question. Even if they do re-sign Byrd to let's say... $7.5 million per season, Buffalo won't have to commit a monster contract to their young safety and have him locked up for the next four seasons. Last year's eighth overall pick, Ryan Tannehill, signed a four-year deal worth $12.668 million. That comes out to $3.167 million per season, which is an extremely manageable contract.
So then why does taking a safety, outside of a quarterback, with the eighth overall pick make the most sense for the Bills?
Simply put, look at the way the NFL is trending. Tight ends are taking over the league and a premium has to be put on finding players to stop them. Having a strong safety alongside Byrd that has those capabilities to disrupt the game of those players is very important to what the Bills want to do on defense.
Look at the Ravens and Jets since Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine has been in the league. They've all had superb play from their safeties, really putting a premium on having that position be able to hold their own and help set the tone to make the opposing offense more one-dimensional. Ed Reed, Dawan Landry, Jim Leonhard, Kerry Rhodes, LaRon Landry, Yeremiah Bell... all have been added either through the draft or free agency to make sure they have legitimate and responsible playmakers in the deep defensive secondary.
Not convinced that safeties are worth it in the first round? Getting a player in to the correct scheme is important at any position and safety is no exception. With that said, take a look at safeties taken in the first round over the past 10 years:
2012: Mark Barron, Harrison Smith
2011: None
2010: Eric Berry, Earl Thomas
2009: None
2008: Kenny Phillips
2007: LaRon Landry, Reggie Nelson, Brandon Meriweather
2006: Michael Huff, Donte Whitner, Jason Allen
2005: None
2004: Sean Taylor
2003: Troy Polamalu
Out of that group, who have been complete misses? Jason Allen, most definitely. Kenny Phillips has struggled with injuries but remains intriguing to teams every year for his talent alone. Outside of them, you have Pro Bowl players and people that are still starting to this very day.
Say what you want about Donte Whitner, but he was in the wrong defensive scheme in Buffalo. To me, he is a solid player that many in the area resented because of what Haloti Ngata turned out to be in Baltimore. Any player that is used improperly is going to struggle some. Would you ask Chad Pennington to throw fly patterns 24 times a game? You get my drift.
If you look at the position from an historical perspective, the safety spot in the first round hits quite frequently -- maybe even more so than most positions. And if you believe the pre-draft visits could be an indicator, the Bills brought in five safeties for visits, ranging from a first round prospect, to a middle rounder, to a trio of late round safeties. Through that logic, the Bills are definitely looking to add.
Assuming I've held your attention for this long, perhaps you're intrigued by the possibilities of adding a top-flight safety to the mix. The next question is inevitable:
Who is a safety worthy of the eighth overall pick?
Meet Kenny Vaccaro from Texas. A safety with great size (6-feet, 214-pounds), physicality, hips and coverage abilities. Vaccaro was used all over the field at Texas, even dabbling at nickel when teams went in those sets. Having someone with Vaccaro's versatility can not only put Searcy on the field in situations, but also serves as a two-in-one type of pick that can help the secondary overall.
Also be mindful of what the Bills had planned for Barron had he been the pick in 2012. Instead of seeing Bryan Scott on the field in countless nickel situations, that would have been Barron's role. Covering up the tight ends will be his job, because to this point he has showed he is darn good at it. With Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Dustin Keller and whoever the Jets add in the division, you better be sure you have someone to help keep those players at bay.
While by many accounts, he will need to get better at tackling and not be overly aggressive, these are virtues that can be fixed with the proper coaching. Buffalo's secondary coach? The very experienced Donnie Henderson, who has even led a defense himself.
So I ask once again, does a safety make sense to you at 8th overall?
If it didn't before, I hope it does now.

Headshots October 2nd
Dimitri Filipovic
October 02 2012 04:15PM
Headshots are a Canucks Army feature where we link to the day's freshest news, and other assorted Canucks web-goodies. If you've written a blogpost, produced a tribute video, birthed a clever .gif into existence, or have a hockey related cause you'd like to see promoted in this space - please e-mail Thom at firstname.lastname@example.com.
As Harrison Mooney writes, as soon as Nolan Baumgartner took the job of Assistant Coach for the Wolves, he became a prospect in the Canucks organization. The craziest part, for me, is that the three-year contract he signed is the longest one he has had since being drafted back in '94.
Thomas Drance makes his debut on PlayNow Sports, as he discusses how you can apply possession metrics to hockey betting. Take his advice - if you like money.
Cam Charron puts the season Anson Carter had as a Canuck into perspective, and applauds Alex Burrows for being wise enough to realize just how fortunate a position he is in. Before Burrows had signed his extension, I proposed every Canuck participate in a battle royal with the winner joining the Sedin line - assuming he left as a free agent next summer. Now we'll never get to see that come to fruition.
Image Break! Yesterday, we mentioned that the Canucks released their wallpaper for October, with all of the games missing (even though no regular season games have been cancelled just yet). @GayCanuck misses the real monthly calendar the team usually releases during the season. To help cope, he will be creating a new lockout wallpaper for every month that it goes on. October's is spot-on, but let's hope it's the last one he has to do.
Over at Nucks Misconduct, Jordan Clarke tells the story of how we built up Roberto Luongo, being tearing him down. Who needs The Notebook when you have plots like this?
You don't happen to have $100 million laying around, do you? According to Bill Daly, that's exactly what the NHL lost in revenue thanks to the cancelled preseason. I'm no accountant, but that seems like a lot of money.
Finally, our pal @TheStanchion laid waste to the rest of the internet today, when he interviewed Eddie Lack about the fake season he has been conducting in NHL '13. This is pure gold.
Speaking of Lack, apparently he's not content with just stopping pucks. It looks like he's gunning for my job, too, and he's getting his practice in by blogging at the Canucks' official website. In this installment, he talks about his fantasy football team, and shares some tidbits from Wolves training camp.
October 02 2012, 08:27PM
Stanchion's work with Lack was awesome. Eddie is going to be a fan fave in no time (if he isn't already).

17-543 Program Solicitation
Important Information for Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 17-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 30, 2017. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 17-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
The discoveries of disciplinary science increasingly highlight the need for integrative approaches to forge new understanding of the complex interactions that govern Antarctica and its past, present and future roles in the earth system. To respond to this need and foster progress on some of societies' most pressing issues on a planet subject to potentially accelerated change, the Antarctic Integrated System Science (AISS) program was established in 2007. An initial vision for the AISS program is outlined in the executive committee synthesis of a June 2007 community-based workshop that is available at: http://www.nsf.gov/geo/plr/antarct/science/workshop_rpt/aiss_2007_workshop.pdf. The synthesis includes examples of cross-cutting integrated system science questions that are not meant to be exhaustive. Initial activities funded under the IPY call can be found on the IPY award list (http://www.nsf.gov/geo/plr/ipy/ipy_awards_list.jsp).
In general terms, the AISS program administers projects that transcend disciplinary boundaries, are highly integrated and address questions broader in scope than those typically supported by the disciplinary programs described above. AISS projects must have compelling intellectual merit, broad impact and expand the frontiers of our knowledge. AISS does not fund programs that recast disciplinary questions into a form requiring minimal expertise from other disciplines when progress is possible within a discipline. Projects must not be so broad in scope that tractable research strategies are not practical. It is recognized that integrated system proposals can be challenging to review. At this juncture in accordance with existing NSF guidelines, proposers may choose to submit single collaborative proposals or multiple related proposals that share some common text. Proposals will be reviewed by both ad-hoc mail reviews and a combination of panelists from the disciplinary panels as appropriate. Those considering submission to AISS are encouraged to contact the program director in advance.

Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (such as documentary photography, social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by the qualities of:
Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles (physical danger, weather, skateboarders, crowds).

Canada loses opening match at Pan Am Cup women's volleyball tournament
TIJUANA, Mexico – It took a couple of sets for Canada's women's volleyball to get untracked in its opening round robin match at the Pan Am Cup women's volleyball tournament on Friday and by then the hill was to high to climb in what was eventually a five-set loss to Argentina.
The Argentineans, ranked 19th in the world, took the match 22-25, 25-20, 25-22, 19-25, 15-11. It was the season opening match for the 2010 Canadian women's volleyball team ranked 24th internationally and ultimately preparing for the world championships this fall in
"We were very nervous at the start of the match," said Canadian national team coach Arnd Ludwig. "I felt that after we won the first set we would settle down but we didn't get rid of that nervousness until the third set. In the final two sets we played really well."
Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., led
The 11-country tournament is split into two pools.
The fourth-ranked Americans are the top seeds in the other pool and are joined by

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Emery County was on display this past Wednesday as Brenda Barrett, the national coordinator for heritage areas from Washington DC visited the proposed San Rafael Swell Western Frontier National Heritage Area. She said, "We visited the pageant site and it was wonderful. Utah is an important state and three heritage areas are being proposed at this time. Yesterday we visited the proposed National Mormon Pioneer Heritage Area on Highway 89.
"Utah has a strong state program for heritage areas. They have a rural development program that is very unusual. Most of the established heritage areas are in the east. Utah is a model and I am excited to be here. I am in complete awe of the work that has been done here in the communities and the energy that is here. I have visited 20 of the 23 heritage areas already designated.
"The New Mexico area is terrific and the one proposed in Louisiana which captures Cajun culture are both strong contenders. Each area is designated one by one and there isn't a framework yet. Legislation has been introduced to set up a formal program.
"Utah has a heritage area strategy. It's important for the communities to believe in the project. The communities have a design and a vision and the community agrees on where they are going. A heritage area is given $1 million a year for 10 years to help in the establishment of the heritage area. It is a team effort between the
parks service and Bureau of Land Management, they will give planning help and interpretive planning. In some areas the parks service has participated in revegetation of an area. They seek to fortify the communities vision for an area," said Barrett.
A breakfast was held in the Museum of the San Rafael for Barrett. On the menu were home grown foods, indicative of the heritage products in our area. Commissioner Randy Johnson welcomed Barrett to the area. He described Emery County as a unique setting of small communities without any large city. He mentioned the mineral lease money that had been utilized to build the museum. "It is unusual for a small community to have a museum of this caliber. We are home to five power plants. We have alpine mountains and the red rock San Rafael Swell. There is more variety in our one county than in most states. It is a great place with many traditions.
"There have been many plans for management of the Swell. Through a national conservation area and a national heritage area. We have had legislation in place but they did not go through. We have heavy opposition from the environmental community. Four states have passed heritage bills using our heritage bill as a model and using our language. We again have a heritage bill in Congress. Emery County is a unique blend of man and nature. We have scenic vistas and we have human history that is an inspiring blend. We can't just protect pretty rocks there are so many values at stake," said Johnson.
Wes Curtis, from the governor's office and the public lands council was next to give Barrett a little of the history of the county. "What we've been doing all along is working to protect and celebrate what we have here. The Castle Valley Pageant has grown from a small production to what it is today. It started out just telling the story to ourselves so we could appreciate the history of our county. Emery County has a historical society that works to preserve our heritage. The centennial project to restore the Buckhorn Panel is like second nature to us, but it is unique. All of these things happened before the heritage area. We are excited, this is where we want to go. I appreciate Brenda and appreciate what she brings to our area as the national coordinator for heritage areas for the national park service. The landscape tells our story. It is the stage for a fantastic drama that is a microcosm of the settlement of the west. We have had cowboys, outlaws, miners, prospectors, pioneers, the mountain men of the Old Spanish Trail. We have fascinating stories and local history. Some famous outlaw hideouts like the Robbers Roost and Browns Hole are in our county.
"One sheriff went outlaw hunting and was sent back to town walking with no pants. The Castle Gate payroll robbery took place in our area and they hopped on horses to get out of town and had the foresight to cut the telegraph wires so news of the robbery wouldn't spread. But, enough of the message came through the lines and a posse was sent out from Huntington and the Castle Dale area. They rode into the Swell. Soon the Castle Dale posse noticed riders and they hid behind boulders and the battle continued. A horse broke loose and bolted out into the open and a Castle Dale posse member recognized the horse as belonging to one of the men from Huntington. So the two posses had been shooting at each other and the outlaws were long gone," said Curtis.
Curtis went on to tell some of the colorful history of the Swasey brothers and the famous Swasey Leap at the Black Box. He told the story of one of the Swaseys in a cabin with a skunk and it smelled so bad the skunk ran out. The Swaseys were the best horsemen around. One time Sid Swasey passed out in a saloon and his buddies decided to play a trick on him and they took him to the cemetery and leaned him up against a tombstone. When he woke up he said, "Well, I'll be danged it's resurrection morning and I'm the first one up."
Curtis also described a county tradition of 'Easterin.' Where the whole county packs up and heads to the desert to camp or picnic and roll easter eggs down hills.
Dixon Peacock took Barrett on a tour of the San Rafael Museum and the Pioneer Museum. She was then treated to an Emery County lamb fry at the Castle Dale park. After lunch the tour continued with stops in Molen at the old Swasey dugout and old homestead. The tour continued to Ghost Rock and a trip to the Eagle Canyon bridge where Barrett looked out and enjoyed the view. The tour also included a stop in Emery Town to visit the historical Emery Church and other buildings of interest. Dinner was served at the Castle Valley Ranch.
Barrett also spent time in Salt Lake visiting with Governor Mike Leavitt while here in Utah.
The primary election will be held on June 25 and the polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.
Emery County Clerk, Bruce Funk said, "It will be what is referred to as a 'closed primary.' Only the Republicans have candidates that are on the primary ballot. There are no Democratic primary races and as a result there will be no Democratic primary ballot. It is important to note primary elections are a function of the political parties. By law, parties have the right to determine who can vote in their primaries. The Republicans have chosen to close their primary. This means that only Republicans or those willing to affiliate as Republicans at the polls can vote the Republican ballot. If you are on the official registration book as a Democrat, Libertarian, Natural Law or Green Party you will not be able to vote the Republican primary ballot but can vote a nonpartisan ballot which has only the school board tax issue.
"When you go to the polling place an election judge will look in the voter registration book and tell you which party, if any, with which you are affiliated. The majority of the voters in Emery County have no specified party affiliation. The judge will advise you of your options. This is the only year that you can affiliate with a political party at the polling place. In future primaries, if you want to change the party with which you are affiliated it must be done 20 days prior to the primary election.
"There are two ballots available this year. One is the Republican party ballot which will include the candidates running for office as well as including non-partisan issues, school board candidates, propositions, etc. The other is the unaffiliated ballot which includes only the non-partisan issues, school board candidates, propositions, etc.
"This does not effect the Nov. 5, general election which allows you to vote a single party or candidates of various parties. The sample ballots are being printed in the legal section of the newspaper. Please refer to them to clarify any questions you might have. Absent voter ballots are available and can be voted in the clerk/auditor office until June 24. If you have any questions about the upcoming primaries or elections please call me at 381-5106," said Funk.
The Emery County Commissioners met in their regularly scheduled meeting on June 4 at 4 p.m. Those present were Commissioners Ira Hatch and Drew Sitterud, Emery County Attorney, Dave Blackwell and Sheriff Lamar Guymon. Commissioner Sitterud acted as chairman as Commissioner Randy Johnson was absent from the meeting having been called to Washington.
The first item on the agenda was the approval of the audit. Kay Kimball had presented the audit to the commission in a meeting prior to the commission meeting and had reported his findings. The commission approved the report.
The next item on the agenda was the presentation of the check edit list, additional claims, requisitions and add ons for approval. Clerk Bruce Funk presented the items to the commission. He mentioned the add ons which included two new cars and four Durangos for the sheriff's office and also a GPS unit which is being purchased with grant money.
Pat Snowball was next on the agenda with the personnel business. She asked for the approval of Kay Jeffs at the Castle Dale library in a less than 20 hours per week position. Also the approval in the extension office of Courtney McMullin in a position which runs from May 28-Aug. 25. Both of the personnel matters were approved. An employee in the assessor's office is requesting family leave from June 5-July 1. Also in the road department an employee was promoted to solid waste crew leader effective on June 10.
The next item on the agenda was the update from Emery Telcom by Mike McCandless. He said they have a number of projects underway; with fiber being brought to the communities of Elmo and Clawson and the Cleveland project is currently in progress. The Helper project is four weeks away from completion. Wellington is now the only community without fiber. The DSL has been completed in Emery. "We have a new technology to enhance DSL which will be wrapped up by the end of the month afterwhich we will do some testing.
It was reported that some Emery County employees attended the Rural Conference held by Senator Bob Bennett in Cedar City. They will be following up on three leads which could lead to viable employment for the county. They will also be looking at obtaining federal designation to obtain preferred status on federal contracts. The state of Utah has identified five communities and Emery County is one of those communities. The federal government program will take time, but steps have been taken to start down that road and it is encouraging, they reported.
McCandless explained the Smart Site in Orangeville. He said it is housed in Emery Telcom's former office building. It is currently an ad business and call center which employs approximately 30 people. Another company wants to develop a software program for the coal industry. This new program could also qualify under the Smart Site and funding could become available for employee training and funding for computers.
Mayor Glen Johnson from Green River City was next on the agenda. He began by saying how much he appreciates the commission and the sheriff for all they do for Green River. Mayor Johnson mentioned their water treatment plant which was recently finished. Labeling the project a "huge success." He mentioned the loan for the project was quite a burden to put on the shoulders of 900 people.
He said they have received the final bill from the lawyer for the Green River Annexation. The total bill was $40,710.90, this bill was for legal services in the years 2000-01. Emery County helped with a contribution of $15,000 last June. Mayor Johnson requested the county take the matter under advisement and see if they could possibly help contribute to the bill. He said Green River has already paid the bill and is asking for some help in the matter.
Commissioner Hatch said they would take the request under consideration and see what funds are available to help out. The next item on the agenda was the Castle Valley Special Service District with a consideration for tax anticipation borrowing. Darrel Leamaster said last year the voters approved a .002 percent increase. The increase was budgeted in, but will not show up until the end of November or early December. He pointed out they would run short of money in September, October and November and need approximately $120,000 to carry them through. He pointed out they have been approved for the maximum of $200,000 but did not anticipate they would need that much. The interest rate will be 75 percent of prime and checks will be issued. The district will write the checks as needed but Leamaster reiterated that he doesn't anticipate they will need the whole thing. The commission authorized the issuance of tax anticipation borrowing for the CVSSD.
The next item on the agenda was the agreement to reduce an ambulance billing by 50 percent for a needy party. Under the citizen concerns categories, Sheriff Guymon thanked the road department for the improvements in the road to the bridge, "It has really made a difference and we appreciate it."
McCandless pointed out a situation above Huntington where illegal dumping continues to take place. Sheriff Guymon said they have three people on that road that will call the sheriff's office when they see a load of junk going up the road. Suggestions were made to patrol the area more and ticket those dumping illegally. McCandless also said many people use the area for shooting but it is getting difficult to do that with all the garbage in the area. Sheriff Guymon said the dumping spot has been cleaned up, but people still continue to dump there. McCandless wondered if the county might consider a shooting area somewhere. It was pointed out an area by the dump is being used for shotgun shooting.
The next item was the consideration and approval of the grant agreement between the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Emery County for library IT upgrade. Jeff Guymon said the grant has been used for computers in every library and a laser printer and server at the main location. An upgrade also needs to be made to get a wireless link to Emery.
Commissioner Hatch explained that efforts have been made to expand public access at the libraries and also the computers in Castle Dale, Huntington and Green River have Spanish profiles so research can be done in Spanish. A website for the library is also available, lib.emeryco.co. With this site you can check on all the library books in the system and will be able to tell if they are available to be checked out.
Guymon also mentioned they have had several requests for photographs that are part of the county screensaver and cannot be downloaded. Blackwell said the county has the copyright for the photos and those requesting the photos would need to acknowledge who provided the photo. It was pointed out that some of those photos are needed for the RS-2477 roads issues and are evidence in the matter.
The next item on the agenda was the consideration and the approval of the Emery County Sheriff's Office vest safety program. Sheriff Guymon said the federal government pays for half of the vest and the deputy pays for the other half of the cost which comes from the uniform fund. After these additional vests are purchased all deputies will be covered with vests.
The next item was the consideration and approval of the request to Utah Power to relocate one of the yard lights at the nursing home. The new asphalt is in place in the parking lot and one of the lights could pose a hazard. Utah Power needs the request to be in the minutes of a commission meeting and then they can move the light. Commissioner Hatch said they have had a lot of compliments on the parking lot and plans for adding a sidewalk and gazebo on the front lawn that is wheel chair accessible is underway. Lumber for the gazebo is being donated by Magnuson Lumber.
The next item on the agenda was the presentation of the bids for the 1-70 enhancement project. The low bid selected was for Wall Contractors at a bid of $28,350. The bid was accepted.
The next item was the consideration and approval of a letter of understanding regarding the position of assistant to the Safe Communities Coordinator. It was pointed out the coordinator, Martin Wilson uses the grant money for classroom instruction in the schools, car seat safety checks, seat belt safety, youth traffic court, safe kids week and neighborhood watch. His assistant also helps with these programs and takes minutes at meetings. They are also updating the emergency response plan at this time.
The next item of business was the approval of the minutes with a few minor adjustments. The next item of business was the commission reports. Commissioner Hatch said they had been to the meeting with Skyline Mine and commissioners from Carbon and Sanpete counties. "There was quite a group there. The water is being pumped out of the mine at a rate of approximately 12,000 gallons per minute. Eight thousand of that goes to the Carbon County side and four thousand to Emery County. The mine can't keep ahead of the water. They have coal leases in the western quarter and early next year they plan to mine those out."
It was agreed that the three commissions would submit a request to the community impact board for funding for a feasibility proposal to see if something can be done to pump water and relieve the pressure.
The second and final suspect in one of the state's largest cattle rustling cases was sentenced to prison May 21, by Grand County District Court Judge, Lyle R. Anderson. Chris Young of Gunnison was sentenced to from one-five years in prison, fined $925 and ordered to pay $30,000 restitution to three ranchers in Sanpete and Grand counties. Young's prison sentence was suspended, and he was placed on three years probation and ordered to serve 120 days in the Grand County jail. Prosecutors stated Young's involvement in the theft was of a lesser degree than others involved in the thefts.
Young faces additional livestock theft charges in Sanpete County in connection with the theft of 23 head of cattle belonging to two ranchers in that county. Young is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on those charges in July.
In March, Jesse Vaughn of Sanpete County pleaded guilty to six felony counts of receiving stolen property in connection with the theft of cattle in Grand, Sanpete and Emery counties. Vaughn was ordered to pay $64,500 in restitution to the victim and fined $925. Vaughn also pleaded guilty in Sanpete District Court to three additional charges of felony theft of livestock.
Young's sentencing brings to a close a case involving dozens of head of livestock and thousands of dollars in equipment.
Since January of 2001, the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food's Animal Industry brand inspectors recovered 85 head of cows, calves and horses as well as more than $30,000 worth of stolen property. The value of the recovered livestock alone is put at more than $40,000.
AAA Utah is joining forces with the Utah Highway Patrol, the Utah Highway Safety Office and the Coalition for Utah Traffic Safety to host a series of informational forums on Utah's new traffic safety laws.
The forums are designed to assist officers who will enforce the new laws including testing for alcohol levels in blood and breath, violations for failure to use child safety restraints and left lane restrictions. Enforcement of state's graduated driver license laws will also be discussed.
"The new traffic safety laws will be the focus of these meetings," said Rolayne Fairclough, AAA Utah spokeswoman. "Utah's law enforcement and traffic safety leaders will highlight the new laws, answer questions, and share their perspective on how these new laws can make our streets more safe for motorists and pedestrians."
The forum in the Castle Valley area will be held June 24 between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Greenwell Inn in Price.
Handouts for officers include a quick reference guide highlighting the changes as well as a more detailed digest of changes to the Utah vehicle and related codes. Refreshments will also be served.
Anglers who time it right should be in for some great summer fishing at four southeastern Utah waters where the Division of Wildlife Resources has liberalized limits.
Effective immediately, the daily bag and possession limits have been doubled for all game fish in Cleveland Reservoir in Emery County; Miller Flat Reservoir in Emery and Sanpete counties; and Monticello Lake and Recapture Reservoir in San Juan County.
Anglers 14 years of age and older are reminded that they still need a fishing license to fish these waters.
The liberalized limits will remain in effect until Nov. 1.
On Nov. 1, the limits for all species at all these waters will revert back to the original limits set for 2002.
"Three of these reservoirs are being drained or drawn down because of drought conditions in southeastern Utah," said Tom Pettengill, sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
"Monticello Lake, the fourth water, is being drained so repairs can be made to the dam. We've liberalized the limits to allow anglers to take fish that will be lost because of the dewatering."
Pettengill says fishing this summer should be good for anglers who fish the reservoirs at the right time.

"You do gulp when you hear the news," the 73-year-old actor says.
The stately star of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey says he has prostate cancer.
And he's had it for "six or seven" years.
The actor, 73, who is expected at Wednesday's U.K. premiere of the film in London's Leicester Square, tells The Mirror: "You do gulp when you hear the news."
He added, "It's like when you go for an HIV test — you go 'Argh, is this the end of the road?' You monitor it and you have to be careful it doesn't spread."
Sir Ian first went to the doctor because he needed to use the bathroom repeatedly at night.
McKellen says he is in a "waitful watching" mode. "They say you can have it zapped. You can have it snipped but you're not a candidate for that. ... I am examined regularly and it's contained."
He adds, "It's not spreading. I've not had any treatment."

The phrase "transmedia storytelling" has been widely adopted in media/entertainment circles in the past few years. While "transmedia" was originally used by Marsha Kinder, the concept of "transmedia storytelling" was explored in-depth by Henry Jenkins in his 2006 book, Convergence Culture, and subsequent work. In short, the concept looks at a connected story told over multiple media formats.
Originally, transmedia storytelling was most passionately studied and adopted in relation to entertainment properties. Jenkins explores franchises like The Matrix to illustrate it in Convergence Culture. As one of his graduate students at the time the book came out, I applied the concept to in-depth explorations of professional wrestling and soap operas. And a wide range of industry practitioners began to think about transmedia storytelling as a way to supplement the narratives of television shows and films, as a way to market the launch of a new story world, as a way to resurrect or keep alive a narrative between installments of primary texts or after its primary text has ended, and so on. By 2010, the Producers Guild of America had come to consider a "transmedia producer" a new official credit in the field.
Meanwhile, people started applying the "transmedia storytelling" approach to marketing and corporate communications, starting with Grant McCracken back in 2005. Meanwhile, Faris Yakob began mapping out what "transmedia planning" might look like in 2006. Today, there is no shortage of marketing conferences or conversations that end up with "transmedia" being woven in somehow.
In order to drive a more serious consideration of what transmedia storytelling means for marketing/advertising/public relations, the Annenberg Innovation Lab at the University of Southern California recently launched a new initiative called the Transmedia Branding Research Group. They kicked it off by bringing in more than 35 different people for a full day of brainstorming on what "transmedia branding" might mean.
We started the day talking and thinking primarily in terms of so-called "consumer brands." But, as the day wore on, I joined Burghardt Tenderich and a few other colleagues to pose the question of what "transmedia" means for a professional services firm or other B2B company, where storytelling in the entertainment sense might not be a major focus but where relationships stretch across multiple media touchpoints already.
The Lab has decided to make transmedia storytelling for business-to-business brands one of their primary areas of focus, an endeavor in which I look forward to participating. As that effort gets underway, here are my initial thoughts about what "transmedia storytelling" in the B2B world really means. In short, I think B2B transmedia storytelling can be most powerful when it:
- Is built on real-life relationships. Hill Holliday's Ilya Vedrashko once suggested that the difference between B2B brands and B2C brands is that B2C brands typically have to use their storytelling to create the illusion of "brand personality" or of a relationship between the product/company behind the product and the customer. Meanwhile, the vast majority of B2B customer relationships are built on direct interaction between human beings at each company. The concept of "transmedia," then, should often be focused on extending these relationships which already exist into new realms.
- Has the advantage of having its story world "set" in the real world. Much like the world of professional wrestling unfolds 24/7 as a fictional story world within our "real" world, the "story" of B2B companies similarly unfolds in real-time: spanning across news releases and digital content from the company, coverage in the news media, experts from the company participating in industry events and in industry publications, those experts' participation in social media, etc.
- Focuses on the people behind the "brand" of a company. "Transmedia" for B2B companies gains power by focusing on how the company's marketing, research, and products/services intersect with the experts who drive their business. Often, then, subject matter experts at the company become the key "characters" in the transmedia story of the B2B brand-which makes these representatives' visibility especially important.
- Demonstrates the thinking and expertise which inspires the company's products and services. In building an overall narrative about a B2B company, the focus is on the expertise, not the products of that expertise. Situating the company's commercial offerings within that passion and knowledge is key for telling a story beyond selling products.
- Puts an emphasis on the importance of internal collaboration and external continuity. Of course, several of these types of activities have long been a major part of B2B marketing/communications, but thinking of them not only as "storytelling" but also as connected starts to reframe how the company thinks about its overall reputation and the way its communications connect to one another. It also helps connect parts of the company (HR, marketing, customer service, sales, investor relations, governmental relations, etc.) that might not regularly interact if the company's various communications aren't thought of from a "transmedia storytelling" standpoint.

Feature Story
Alaska's North Slope Science Initiative sets the Path for Pathways Student-Employee to attend International Arctic Ocean Acidification Conference in Bergen, Norway
The NSSI led by its Executive Director, Dr. John Payne, recently took on a role at the global level. NSSI became co-lead of the Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP), representing the United States along with the Kingdom of Denmark/Greenland. The CBMP is an international network of scientists, government agencies, Indigenous organizations and conservation groups working together to harmonize and integrate efforts to monitor the Arctic's living resources. To ensure coordination and integration with related global initiatives, the CBMP is strategically linked to other international conservation programs and research and monitoring initiatives, including the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP).
As a Pathways graduate student and Public Affairs Specialist for the NSSI, I had a very unique opportunity as 1 of 6 representatives from the United States invited to attend the conference. Last year I became a member of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientist (APECS) and was awarded a grant through the association which covered all expenses for the trip.
Although this conference was highly technical consisting of presentations given by mostly chemists and marine biologists, no matter what the topic, they all referred back to the need for better communication between scientist, policy makers, industry, and the people who call the Arctic their home. The linkages between the Arctic and the rest of the world mean that Arctic science has come to play an increasingly prominent role in the public consciousness and the concerns of policy-makers. Policy makers have started moving towards an Ecosystem-Based Management approach which includes the use of information passed down over hundreds and thousands of years from the indigenous people of the Arctic most commonly referred to as Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Indigenous populations have relied on their direct environment for subsistence and autonomy. Over time, they have developed a way to manage and use their resources that ensures their conservation into the future. This is where I feel my research is most fruitful as it explores the social aspects of Arctic villages, knowledge of public land policy, and Western science so that stakeholders can engage and learn from each other.

* Ocean acidification is the name given to the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans, caused by the increase of human-induced carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, causing them to become more acidic. Changes in ocean chemistry can have extensive direct and indirect effects on organisms and their habitats. One of the most important repercussions of increasing ocean acidity relates to the production of shells and plates which many ocean creatures need to survive.

1A 62-year-old Bayside woman was arrested for drunken driving after she drove into a ditch at Fairy Chasm and Iroquois roads at 8:30 p.m. March 8. She told one officer she ran off the road to avoid an oncoming car crossing into her lane and told another it was to avoid a jogger. When asked if she'd been drinking, she at first said no and then 'one cocktail.' She failed field sobriety tests including reciting the alphabet from C to R saying 'C, D, F, I T, H, I' and finishing with 'W, X, R 'ya know' Y, Z.' Her blood alcohol content was 0.09.
2Two storage lockers were broken into in the 5000 block of West Bradley Road sometime Feb. 18. Taken were items valued at about $100 including toilet paper, towels and other household items.

The two denied any knowledge of the theft and were released. The suspect was stopped with a microphone and a recorder interface, valued at about $300, taken from the store. At that time, she told police she was only 14. When they questioned that, she said she was really 16. She then gave her sister's name and later her real name and birth date. She lied, she said, because she didn't want to go to jail. She also said she took the equipment because she was 'a rapper.'
11A 16-year-old Whitefish Bay boy was arrested for possession of marijuana, possession of Schedule I and II narcotics and drug paraphernalia and two other Whitefish Bay boys, 16 and 17, were taken into custody at Kaul-Mart, 209 W.

The Yo-Zuri Sashimi Shad is an innovative lure with color-changing technology unlike any other in the fishing industry. The Yo Zuri Shashimi Shad actually completely changes color depending on the lighting and angle from which they are viewed. Many baitfish and gamefish change colors to blend into their environment or alert other fish that they are feeding or in distress. The highly detailed Yo-Zuri Sashimi Shad is designed to mimic this color changing behavior, attracting reaction strikes like no other lure. The ribs protruding on the surface of the lure also create extra vibration in the water and all Yo Zuri Sashimi baits feature a patented "sound system" rattle chamber to help entice more strikes in any situation. Equipped with super sharp hooks and a durable body construction, the Yo-Zuri Sashimi Shad provides one of the most realistic and tantalizing presentations available.

A former contractor it hired to manage workers' compensation cases charged it at least $450,000 in spurious fees over a seven-year period, Wegmans Food Markets Inc. claims in a lawsuit.
The lawsuit was filed Feb. 12 in state Supreme Court in Monroe County and was moved to U.S. District Court in Rochester last week at the request of defendant CorVel Healthcare Corp. Wegmans accuses CorVel of charging unauthorized fees in the last seven years of its 11-year relationship with the California firm.
Its review of CorVel's billings is ongoing and could uncover more overcharges, Wegmans states in the action.
Wegmans hired CorVel Corp. (Nasdaq: CRVL), a $433 million national provider of workers' comp management services, to do case management of workers' comp claimants and utilization review. The supermarket chain claims in the filing that three years into the agreement, CorVel started slipping an extra, unauthorized charge into invoices.
According to Wegmans' court papers, it first hired CorVel in 2002, signing a two-year, automatically renewing agreement. A 2012 audit showed that in 2005 CorVel started tacking an extra fee.
The alleged extra fee—equal to 30 percent of savings CorVel said it wrung out of Wegmans' workers' comp costs—was recorded as an enhanced bill review charge, a service Wegmans maintains it never signed up for or agreed to.
Wegmans twice asked for a refund. CorVel refused to pay, and Wegmans terminated its agreement with the California firm in 2013.
CorVel attorney Robert Bohner, a litigator in Sedgwick LLP's Los Angeles office, did not respond to a request for comment.

During the World Economic Forum's annual meeting, well-heeled visitors give the Swiss town's economy a lift. But some aren't impressed.
DAVOS, Switzerland — It brings in $45 million for the Swiss economy each year and turns the diminutive, snow-clogged streets here into a living Hollywood Walk of Fame for global elite types.
But some residents of this Swiss mountain resort have mixed feelings about the World Economic Forum's annual meeting, which began Wednesday and runs through Saturday.
"There are locals who are against the idea of the WEF coming to Davos, even though they make a lot of money from it," said Heinz Roth, 63, a ski instructor who was having a beer at the end of the workday at Davos' main train station.
Roth has been guiding the area's well-heeled visitors around the surrounding Alpine slops for close to 40 years.
"Too much security and disruption is what a lot of residents think, but it's not as bad as it used to be," he said. "There's fewer activists around, and the police are better at controlling it."
Roth stared into his beer for a few moments, then added: "St. Moritz (a more upmarket, rival ski resort to Davos a few hours away) may be more famous than us, but it is also jealous that we have the WEF each year."
Reto Baumgartner, a retired taxi driver from Davos, was sitting at the same table as Roth and a few others who meet early each evening at a small diner-like cafe adjacent to the Davos Platz train station.
Baumgartner appeared to give serious consideration to the question of whether the annual meeting is a force for good or ill for Davos — Europe's highest elevation city with a population of about 11,000. In halting English he opined: "Money, money."
When prompted, Roth said that he was not tempted to come out of retirement to bolster his pension by getting back into the trade.
Money was apparently on the mind of Pope Francis, who provided a message for the opening ceremony that was read to the crowd.
"I ask you to ensure that humanity is served by wealth and not ruled by it," Cardinal Peter Turkson said on the pontiff's behalf. "The growth of equality demands something more than economic growth, even though it presupposes it."
Hans Bolt, a retired car mechanic, was pessimistic that anything discussed at the WEF would help anyone.
"The WEF people talk a lot, but when they go home they forget it all."

Standard & Poor's Dow Jones Indices offers more than 830,000 indexes — more than you'll ever need or even know about.
So what's the next big thing in indexing? How about mergers. From Jessica Toonkel of Reuters:
Exchange operator Nasdaq OMX Group (NDAQ) and index provider S&P Dow Jones Indices (MHFI) said they are interested in acquisitions to grow their index businesses, in a sign the sector could see a wave of deals as investors pour tens of billions of dollars into portfolios that track benchmarks.
Both Nasdaq Chief Executive Robert Greifeld and S&P Dow Jones Indices Chief Executive Alex Matturri told Reuters in recent interviews that they would be interested in looking at bidding on index businesses that come to market, including the index businesses run by Russell Investments and Barclays Plc (BCS).
"Growing the index business is at the top of our list for 2014, both organically or through acquisitions," Greifeld said last week. "We have this index engine and people don't realize that anything MSCI (MSCI) can do or S&P can do, we can do right now."

It's time to launch this rocket!!
We were at the launch site early in the morning. We got to see a great sunrise!
We are really really close to the rocket!!
In this picture about, you can see how close we are too the rocket. Our NNU team is in that line of students!!!
This is the rocket losing its first stage and the second stage starting. If you look closely, you can actually see the first stage just left of the smoke. We got to watch it fall all the way into the water!!
Green lights mean that the experiment turned on!!!
Next, we took the canister apart to check on our payload. Looks like everything survived!
Looks like the superhydrophobic boxes survived the launch. We will do further testing at NNU.
After the launch, NASA took us all out for a great dinner!! Yes, that is a fillet, and crab stuffed lobster
