Two Veterans Day ceremonies, one in Littleton and one at Fort Logan National Cemetery, will be held at 11 a.m. Nov. 11, honoring veterans and those serving in the military.
The Littleton ceremony will be held at the World War II memorial at Ketring Park, 6000 S. Gallup St.
Fort Logan National Cemetery is at 3698 S. Sheridan Blvd.
The Littleton ceremony is sponsored by Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and George C. Evans American Legion Post 103. The guest speaker is Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman.
In a separate Veterans Day event at 1 p.m. at Littleton's St. Mary Catholic School, the Knights of Columbus will present the school a plaque in memory of Pat Hannon, who was the first Littleton resident to die in Vietnam.
The ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery are sponsored annually by District 10, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, and are held in the open area adjacent to the lake and at the base of the main flagpole. There will be a VFW honor guard representing many of the metro-area VFW and American Legion posts to present the colors as well as the flags from their posts.
Veterans Day speakers at Fort Logan include Congresswoman Diana DeGette (D-Denver) and Sara Elton, chief of operations of the Memorial Service Network, Denver.
The event includes placing a ceremonial wreath and flowers at a headstone symbolic of the thousands of headstones in the cemetery. The wreath placement is followed by the traditional 21-gun salute. As the last volley is fired, an array of horn players stationed around the lake will play the echo version of "Taps."
When the Fort Logan ceremony ends, lunch will be served at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644, 2680 W. Hampden Ave.
The nation began honoring veterans in 1926 when Armistice Day was held for the first time to commemorate the end of World War I and to honor those who served. Th event was marked on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the same time, day and month that the fighting ended in World War I.
In 1938, the day was declared a national holiday. In its early history, Armistice Day was focused on honoring World War I veterans. In the early 1950s, Congressman Edwin Rees of Kansas proposed changing the name of the holiday to Veterans Day and making it a time to honor all those who served in the armed forces, and in 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill, officially making Nov. 11 Veterans Day.

"these are kind of cute but they are cheaply made. The buckle broke the first time I wanted to wear them!! I was able to put it back together but it feels like it could break again any time. Poor workmanship."

Nice sandal
"The shoe is a little "clunkier" than I expected but overall a good shoe. I bought the shoe in brown and was a little worried that you would be able to see the pink on the underside too well but was pleasantly surprised to find that it only peeks out in a subtle way. The shoe is a good height and comfortable enough to wear regularly."

Not so cute in person...
"I really liked these online but when I received them I wasn't that impressed with the quality. Maybe I didn't read the description thoroughly enough but they were mostly made of a cheap plastic material and were not comfortable. I have returned to the store because in my opinion they were not worthy of the price."

Cute Sandal
"What impresses me most about these shoes is how soft the man-made material is. If I didn't know better, I'd assume it was real leather. And after hours of walking and standing, my feet were happy... and cute."

The ATV trail was repaired where the ATV went off and plummeted into Eagle Canyon on May 25.
Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk said there was a ledge which ATVs had to navigate to get up the embankment. This ledge has been removed and the trail graded in this area. The Emery County Road Department completed the work. Sheriff Funk said, "I really want to thank Wayne Nielsen and the road department for fixing that trail. They went above and beyond. There's been some talk of closing that trail but it will not be closed and is now in good repair. The BLM has been cooperative in getting the trail repaired.
"Another hazard we have identified is along the San Rafael river, a tree has fallen into the river and is obstructing passage in the area of the Indian writings. There's been a group of canoers that ran into it and if you veer right you can get around it. The BLM said they will go into this area with chain saws and remove the tree from the water. We just want any rafters and canoers to be aware of this hazard," said Sheriff Funk.

There's the Keith Earls versus the great man himself - and great to see Brian O'Driscoll back - then the Felix Jones and Rob Kearney contest at full-back and of course the Maestro and the Young Pretender, a contest that worth the entrance money alone.
And loads more.
Leinster are the form team, have lost just three games in the league, and despite protestations to the contrary from their own camp, they go into this game as favourites and as the side with the most to lose.
They are eight points clear but after today still have to go to Ravenhill and Rodney Parade, two places that will not give way points handy.
They also have a full strength squad to choose from whereas Munster are without key players in Paul O'Connell, Donnacha Ryan, Denis Hurley and Conor Murray never mind the likes of the long term injured, Doug Howlett, Denis Leamy and Niall Ronan.
Nevertheless they wont wont use that as an excuse and will believe that their best performance will be good enough to get something of this game.
Munster: F Jones; J Murphy, K Earls, L Mafi, S Zebo; R O'Gara capt, T O'Leary; M Horan, D Varley, BJ Botha; D O'Callaghan,M O'Driscoll; Dave O'Callaghan, P O'Mahony, J Coughlan. Replacements: M Sherry, W du Preez, S Archer; B Holland, T O'Donnell, D Williams, I Keatley, D Barnes.

Most Widely Ratified Treaty in UN History Marks 25th Anniversary14/
Paris/Nairobi, 16 September 2012 -Hailed as the most successful treaty in UN history - for achieving universal ratification and meeting its targets ahead of schedule, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer will celebrate its 25th anniversary on 16 September.The Protocol, which was ratified by 197 countries, has enabled reductions of over 98 per cent of all global production and consumption of controlled ozone-depleting substances. The Protocol also oversaw the global phase-out of chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs) by 2010.Global observations have verified that atmospheric levels of key ozone depleting substances are going down and it is believed that with implementation of the Protocol's provisions the ozone layer should return to pre-1980 levels by 2050 to 2075; Thanks to controls implemented under the Protocol, the global community will be spared millions of cases of skin cancer and cataract - in addition to trillions of dollars in health care.Direct health care savings in the US alone is estimated at USD $4.2 trillion.Globally, the Protocol is estimated to have prevented 19 million more cases of non-melanoma cancer, 1.5 million more cases of melanoma cancer and 130 million more cases of eye cataracts.Action under the Protocol has also had significant climate benefits. Because ozone depleting substances are also global warming gases, the reduction in the production and use of these substances yielded a net integrated reduction of approximately 25 billion tonnes of CO2 between 1990 and 2000.UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, said, "As we look to mitigate and adapt to climate change, tackle other environmental threats and implement the outcomes of the Rio+20 conference on sustainable development, the story of the Montreal Protocol highlights the benefits of pursuing an inclusive green economy. It shows that, in acting on one issue, many others can be addressed too.""The Montreal Protocol has demonstrated that fundamental principles - such as science-based policy making, the precautionary approach, common but differentiated responsibilities and equity within and between generations -can benefit all nations," he added. The Montreal Protocol's Multilateral Fund has assisted developing countries to meet their compliance commitments by financing industrial conversion, technical assistance, training and capacity building support worth over US $2.8 billion. It is estimated that, without the Protocol, by the year 2050 ozone depletion would have risen to at least 50 per cent in the northern hemisphere's mid-latitudes and 70 per cent in the southern mid-latitudes, about 10 times worse than current levels.UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, Achim Steiner, said: "The establishment of the Montreal Protocol in 1987 set the world on track to reduce and phase-out a wide range of chemicals found in products from hairsprays and fire fighting equipment to foams and air conditioners that were destroying the ozone layer and leading to dangerous 'holes' over Antarctica and also the Arctic. Recently the world has learnt that these cuts and phase-outs have also benefited the climate because the substances of concern are also powerful greenhouse gases." "The Green Economy, in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication, may be a recent term. But the work on repairing the ozone layer and now combating climate change underlines that a Green Economy has been forged over many years even if we did not use that term at the time," added Mr Steiner.Despite the successes, governments still face major challenges.Under the protocol, developing countries will need to phase out the consumption and production of HCFCs which have adverse effects on ozone protection and the global climate.Marco Gonzalez, Executive Secretary of the UNEP Ozone Secretariat said: "Perhaps the best way to appreciate these accomplishments is to consider what the world might have looked like today without both the inquisitive minds of the world's scientists and the forward looking determination of its leaders, diplomats and negotiators who shaped the Montreal Protocol. If concerted action was not taken, by now we would be living a nightmare, with significant increases in skin cancers and cataracts, and substantial impacts on ecosystems." "Our actions over the past quarter century have helped usher in an Ozone-Safe Generation. This is truly worthy of celebration!" he added.The International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer was designated by the UN General Assembly through Resolution 49/114 in 1994. This year's International Day is celebrated under the theme "Protecting our atmosphere for generations to come".More information can be found at http://ozone.unep.org and www.unep.org/ozonactionNotes to EditorsUnited Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the United Nations system's designated entity for addressing environmental issues at the global and regional level. Its mandate is to coordinate the development of environmental policy consensus by keeping the global environment under review and bringing emerging issues to the attention of governments and the international community for action.Compliance Assistance Programme (CAP) of UNEP DTIE. UNEP as an Implementing Agency of the Multilateral Fund of the Montreal Protocol has a unique regionalized programme that delivers compliance assistance services to countries to assist them meet the international commitments under the Protocol. The compliance regime requires countries to: achieve and sustain compliance, promote a greater sense of country ownership and implement the agreed Executive Committee framework for strategic planning.Ozone Secretariat is the Secretariat for the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and for the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. Based at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) offices in Nairobi (Kenya), the Secretariat functions in accordance with Article 7 of the Vienna Convention and Article 12 of the Montreal Protocol.Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of a number of substances believed to be responsible for ozone depletion. The treaty was opened for signature on September 16, 1987 and entered into force on January 1, 1989. Since then, it has undergone five revisions, in 1990 (London), 1992 (Copenhagen), 1995 (Vienna), 1997 (Montreal), and 1999 (Beijing). Due to its widespread adoption and implementation it has been hailed as an example of exceptional international cooperation "Perhaps the single most successful international agreement to date..."The Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol is managed by an Executive Committee which is responsible for overseeing the operation of the Fund. The Committee comprises seven members from developed and seven members from developing countries. The 2012 Committee membership includes Belgium, Canada, Finland, Japan, Romania, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and United States of America (developed countries) and Argentina, China, Cuba, India, Kenya, Jordan and Mali (developing country members) and is chaired by Mr. Xiao Xuezhi (China).

For gaffer David St. Onge, the lighting challenge "Shameless" is to have the sets 75% ready to shoot when the company moves in. "Then we need to keep the lighting setup time down around 15 to 20 minutes," says St. Onge. "We shoot with two cameras and between them we cover 180 to 250 degrees of the set, on just about every setup," he explains. "That means all the lighting has to be attached to ceilings and walls to keep it out of the shot. Litepanels is constantly reinventing itself and upgrading its products. They are key to our speed and creativity.
"The 1x1 Litepanels is quite useful on our sets, as I can attach a plate to the wall or ceiling, slap a V-block battery to the light, and I'm ready to go – all in two minutes or less," he says. "I will often attach a Chimera for softening and a honeycomb for lighting control. These 1x1s are very versatile and now, with the color mixing capabilities of the newer models, I don't have to put gels on to correct color, just turning a knob does it."
St. Onge also finds the Sola ENG LED Fresnel light extremely useful, saying it is small and powerful with a built-in dimmer. "It has flood and spot capabilities and it's about the size of a baseball, so you can hide it just about anywhere. They will run most of the day on one fully charged battery. I use V-block plates to power the lights. And I've had some plates made similar to baby nail-on plates, but instead of a spud I had nuts welded to accept Israeli arms and that gives me a full range of pan and tilt."
For a recent car shot, St. Onge deployed the Sola ENG lights. "The camera was in the front passenger seat for a scene where Child Services collected all of the Gallagher kids," he explains. "The kids plot to get away. To light the car, we put the ENG in as a liner for the person sitting behind the driver. And, because of the tint on the glass, we had to push this light to its limits. We then put a second ENG, with a soft adapter, between the driver and front passenger."
For another sequence, some of the children help a friend retrieve his possessions after being thrown out of his house. "The handheld shot starts at the front door of the house and continues with someone jumping in the side door of a van," he explains. A second camera shoots into the rear doors of the van. Again, the Sola ENG is lighting the driver for the rear camera as well as lighting the passenger behind the driver for the side door camera."
With all his new lights, David St. Onge says he still uses his trusty MiniPlus, "the brick" as he calls it, that he bought for the award winning series, 24. "We used them in just about every shot," he says. "And, today, I use a variety of Litepanels on practically every sequence I light on "Shameless." I feel the ability to run these lights on batteries is key to lighting quickly but still keeping the look we like. I can't wait to see what lights they come out with next!"

Durable, trim fitting technical shorts for summer alpine pursuits, the Gamma SL Short combines the durable stretch performance of Fortius™ 1.0 fabric with lightweight, air permeable TerraTex™. The Fortius™ reinforces the seat, back of leg and hem. It stands up to abrasion and aggressive use, but provides stretch and air circulation. TerraTex™, used in the front and sides of the legs, is a highly air permeable, quick drying nylon fabric with elastane for stretch. With performance in warmer conditions in mind, the combination of these materials balances climbers' need for high levels of freedom with the necessity of durability.
Created for climbers, the trim fitting Gamma SL Hybrid Short is built to move. The careful patterning results in ergonomic freedom and a trim that minimizes fabric excess that could snag while climbing. A gusseted crotch expands range of motion. The low profile hook belt system sits flat against the body and rides comfortably under a harness, and the integrated webbing belt loop provides a chalk bag attachment point. Two zippered front pockets hold small essentials.

I had to ask an English pal what a rasher or bacon is (a slice) and what a knob of butter is. I loved her response: "A knob of butter is very subjective and depends on the size of your knife." How perfectly British.
I used chuck steak from one of our grass-fed steers instead of skirt steak, and it worked perfectly. I also mixed up my pastry crust in the food processor rather than by hand, and I used half organic butter and half lard that I rendered down from one of the locally raised hogs we recently had processed. Yum. Using all butter and mixing the dough by hand will work too. Either way, don't overwork the dough.
Remove the lid, pour 1/2 cup of the ice water evenly over the flour mixture, replace the lid, and pulse a few times. Add just enough more ice water so that the dough holds together when you press it between your fingers. Do not overmix.
Place about 1 cup of filling on each round, either in the middle if you want to bring both sides of the pastry up and together, or on one side so you can pull the other side of the pastry over to make a semi-circle (see photo above; both are traditional Cornish pasty shapes).
Use your hand to compact the filling a little, then brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash, and seal them together. If you're making semi-circles, you can decoratively crimp the edge of the pasties with a fork or your fingers.

Thank you for your letter to the editor of the Emery County Progress admonishing Utahns (and everyone else) to "camp responsibly."
When I read your first paragraph it generated mental images of campsites that I have seen recently-campsites strewn with all manner of human waste. As you indicated, the image "sickened" me.
But there is another image that sickens me to an even greater degree. It is the image of driving my truck, (yes, I drive a gas guzzling 4-wheel drive pickup, nicer than my father could ever afford) to a campground that I remember from my youth. Just as I prepare to pull into the campsite, with visions of pitching my tent and catching wild trout from an untrammeled stream, I see the sign:
"No vehicular traffic allowed, no camping, no fires, no nothing and especially no having fun at this location. Governmental regulations prohibit such activities, the fact that you and your family have engaged in those activities for decades notwithstanding."
Such signs abound in our modern milieu. And they represent for me, a governmental trammeling of the wilderness that is even worse than the prevalence of human waste that you described.
I agree with you that we all need to camp responsibly. Beyond that, I believe that our government (including the BLM and the US Forest Service) need to serve the people. I believe that they can best serve the people (especially those who live in these rural areas) by allowing us continued access to and use of public lands (and campsites, both developed and undeveloped).
As you indicated, that access and use comes with the responsibility to conserve and preserve the campsites and related experiences that make up our heritage (and, I believe, our birthright). Yes, I will camp responsibly-if I am allowed to camp at all.

WARNING: Not leather despite description
"Once again, a shoe described by the web site as "leather" is NOT. the shoe is clearly marked "ALL MADE MADE MATERIALS."this is the 4th time in recent months that a shoe description is flat-out wrong about the materials. One pair cost more than $100 - and when arrived, they were PVC, not leather. Really gives me doubts about being able to trust the site now."

"I was unable to find a white pump with a reasonably low heel anywhere this spring, so I took a chance and ordered these offline. Unfortunately, I had to return the fist pair because they were much too large, but I exchanged for 1/2 size down and these fit well. I like that they go well with any of my spring dresses, even slacks."

"I was looking for a comfortable shoe that looked smart with a little bit of a heel. I am quite tall, so super high-heels are not for me. I don't want to look like an Amazon woman. The height is perfect, and the color is spot-on for the dress I was looking to match, though certainly a color that goes with many different outfits. However, I was not expecting how incredibly comfortable they are! OMG!! They are amazingly soft, flexible, and I could definitely go from day to night without sore feet. And the grip on the bottom will ensure you will never slip and fall, especially when we seem to still be experiencing a lot of winter here in Minnesota. I am so happy I bought these and as soon as I write this review, will be checking to see what other colors I can order them in. This will be a staple in my shoe collection. Good looking shoes that don't compromise comfort. I highly recommend."

Steve Tambellini on the Edmonton Oilers today and tomorrow
Jonathan Willis
July 01 2012 08:17PM
Steve Tambellini held a press conference late in the first day of NHL free agency, and had some revealing comments about the team and what might happen in the days ahead.
It was, I thought, a strong press conference on the heels of a pretty strong day or two for the organization. A few particulars stood out to me; I'm just going to quickly run through them.
I believe Ryan Smyth needs to remain an Oiler, and I'm happy that he made the decision to remain here with us. This is where he should be. We talked about a lot of different things of where he could play, open to playing top-six forward, open to playing bottom-six forward.
Tambellini's comments on Smyth suggest to me that it was the player, rather than the team, that made the final move when it came down to making a decision. I may be reading too much into the phrasing, but the 'Ryan made a decision' line really makes me think that the team made an offer and Smyth dropped his demands to accept it. Either way, it would seem that Smyth's position on the depth chart is somewhat fluid, and I'd argue that makes sense.
A lot of teams have extra bodies at this time of the year. The positive side of that is that it presents options for you to maybe make a deal.
This came in response to a question about the number of bodies the Oilers have been stockpiling. As noted earlier today, the Oilers have an excess of personnel both up front and on the back end, and a trade is the logical route to clearing some space.
A lot of it, [Khabibulin has] had such a good couple of months at a time there and then his health really kind of prohibited him from sustaining anything. I don't know if that's a result of maybe playing too many games in too many days, but we think we need a more balanced approach here and Devan's going to see a lot of hockey.
If a general manager is hanging on to Nikolai Khabibulin, this is the most sensible explanation for the decision. Khabibulin started well, and if there's a belief that injuries or fatigue knocked his play down, it's easier to understand why the Oilers would feel comfortable using him as a backup next season. The problem is that even prior to Christmas in 2010-11, Khabibulin was wretched – that reads more like his early performance in 2011-12 was the aberration, rather than what he'd manage all the time if only he were healthy/rested.
We feel we need that element in our hockey club at this time.
I don't want to speak for Ralph but I think if Darcy's in the lineup he may see more minutes than what he did last year.
Both of the above comments refer to Darcy Hordichuk. The first one really jumped out at me, because the "at this time" suggests to at least some degree that Tambellini doesn't necessarily view an enforcer as a permanent and necessary position on an NHL team. It's always a little risky to read too much into the words of someone who at times struggles to get his point across, but it will be interesting to see if a Hordichuk-type is still on the roster when players get older or if the Oilers succeed in adding skilled size to the roster.
I don't know if we can ever have too many top-six forwards. You look at the best teams in the game, teams that are winning Cups, you need a lot of talent, a lot of skill… I can't say that we have too many.
The only possible answer to the ridiculous idea that the Oilers have too much talent up front. Like Tyler Dellow, I've always found the notion that top-six and bottom-six forwards are different species to be a little crazy. Teams collect good players; players who aren't good enough for top-six minutes play bottom-six minutes.
They're both very young players with regards to the NHL. They're both going to be very good NHL players in the future… the worst thing that could have happened to Magnus was that he sat in the pressbox… There's no sense of failure if you have to spend time in the American Hockey League. I think they're both okay with that.
Anton Lander and Magnus Paaarvi are the two players referred to in the comment above, with Tambellini answering a question on whether the pair could start next season in the AHL. That's definitely not a 'no.'
Ralph feels that he and [Belanger] can find a way to get him back to where he's been for most of his career. That was the most difficult year that he's had as far as production... Ralph really believes that he can work with Eric and get him back to where he should be. He feels very positive about that.
Remember all those Eric Belanger trade rumours? Steve Tambellini's comments above cast some cold water on them. The Oilers' new head coach, perhaps unsurprisingly, sees a useful player in Belanger, and Tambellini was emphatic that on this particular point.
Tambellini also made brief comments on a few other items. He confirmed that the decision to qualify Omark was to keep his rights and protect him as an asset, and that he's still actively looking to make a trade. He refused to comment on the Ales Hemsky trade rumours making the rounds today, except to say that he hadn't heard them. Beyond that, he was also vaguely supportive of the possibility of trying Taylor Hall at centre, and a little more supportive of getting some of the skill players out on the penalty kill next season.
All things considered, while I may not agree on every point, it was a solid press conference. Tambellini did a good job of expressing his take on the team, and more often than not that take was entirely sensible. More importantly, the Oilers' actions on the day were prudent, and the team is looking to do more in the days ahead.

First Fist! Good take JW.
Couple of things I noticed. If u watch the presser on oilers.com, watch Tambo's face when he discusses hall at center. Very excited about it. I think you can book it that they will try this next season. As well as some skill on the PK.
Other thing I noticed which I didn't see get much play was this morning at the 9am presser with Schultz, Justin mentioned how it was such a great presentation by Kevin, MacT, Hall, and Kreuger. Then he said it was nice to meet Tambo today!
So along with Tambo not making the trip and the whole "I walked in and everyone was cheering when MacT got the call", I think it is more proof that Klo and MacT are really running this ship, with Dithers at the front for media.
Either way some solid moves these last two days, with Schultz at the top.
July 01 2012, 08:43PM
Still want to see them sign or trade for one power forward, preferably a right wing or a center and one more top 4 defencman.
I am fine with Khaby as a backup as long as they are looking to give him 30 starts or less and no back to backs even if he plays really well in the first game.
It will be exciting to see how Duby lookis with an NHL caliber D-corps in front of him.
Been a great week to be an Oilers fan. Ok with the resigns today, but I am hoping for more action in the next few days.
So this offseason only makes sense if there's a trade, correct? Were they not interested in anybody today, or are they already on Plan B? I'd just like to know a semblance of what the plan is (as I've been lulled into false hope before)...
Great, another summer of moderate inaction and Tambo telling us how we're going to be contenders this year?
This is the 30th, 30th, 29th place club, and the only changes we've made have been adding two kids who haven't played an NHL game in their life. I am supremely disappointed in this inaction. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for Little Schultz, and I'm sure Yak is going to be a beast... but seriously, wtf? Zenon Konokpa goes for 1.9mil, I'd take him over Belanger in a heartbeat. A good pile of decent to good defensemen go for anything from slightly overpaid contracts to a bucket of beans (seriously, someone looked at the deal and went "Yay, we finally get Nick Foligno!"?). Tootoo goes to the Wings for very little. Etc etc.
I love this team, I'm not pooping on it, but I'm really not seeing much of a change from the team that broke our hearts the last few years. We're counting on better years from key players, but trying not to count on injuries to older players. Hoping to put more minutes on the younger kids, but not getting the midage vets to help prop up those lines. Putting yet more faith in our 58 year old MVP to play 30 games or so.
Tambo isn't playing "what if", and it's gonna nail us. What if Dubs is our for the season? Khabi+Danis for 60 games? What if Nuge gets hurt, Sam "Slow Start" Gagner is going to run the show? What if the kids can't handle their share of minutes and Horcoff gets hurt, who's going to soak up the hard minutes at evens, Belanger? Who's the defensively responsible one on a Hemmer-Gags-Yak line?
If anything, the only thing I'm not worried about is D. Even if Whitney is hurt again and Schultz Jr can't handle the NHL, we've still got good pieces to fill in. But there's no confidence in goal, no room anywhere in the forwards corps for any of the kids in the A, no chance for Harski, who is the only possibility of a top-9 who can bang. Hell, the toughest guy in our top9 is Ryan Jones.
So, in summation, Tambo is still putting frosting on a crap cake, he's still done very, very little to make this team any better, and I have no confidence that he has the skill, let alone desire, to actually make a hockey trade and make this team better. He doesn't deserve props or thumbs up for continuing to let a bad team be bad, he doesn't deserve great adulation for getting a rookie kid to decide that he'd get the most minutes on this team, the only thing that he might have had anything to do with is getting The Mullet at 2.25, and frankly I suspect that Ryan just decided that it wasn't worth the effort to go UFA and move again.
I really hope that tmrw, when Suter/Parise make their decisions, that the market opens up and we make some 2-1 and 3-1 moves. But I also used to believe in Santa Clause.
I think the approach is prudent. Signing free agents will very likely result in an over payment and for longer term than the Oil can afford. They have 10 players who will be coming off entry level contracts next summer. The best deals will likely be a trade with a club that needs to make cap and contact room to accommodate a new free agent signing. The team is not contending for the cup this year. They need their key players to improve and mature. Making a run at a playoff spot should be their goal and to waste big bucks on free agents seems to make little sense.
July 01 2012, 09:39PM
I think it is time for the real fans to be a little more positive,there was no one today that would really have made any sense to sign,hopefully a trade can be made for one more d-man and one more depth player with grit.Besides that lets sit back and enjoy.I was a young man when the 80's Oilers were so dominant and I took it for granted they would always be that way.It could be way worse, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal?
July 01 2012, 09:41PM
cervantes relax
Things are going the oils way and things are starting to fall into place and FA just started...
Doan is on their list i'm betting Gragnani is too (depth offensive D-man)
Not saying they are getting these guys but were not winning the stanley cup tomorrow were filling in our holes one piece at a time and thats just it... its gonna take time and a little luck for pieces to fit.
Well I was a little surprised about Schultz coming to the Oilers, to say the least! I did like what he said after sigining.......taht being he was not expecting this thing to get as much attention as it got, and that he is willling to earn his spot. Good to her the kid say that!
Tamby will get praise from me for getting this done ( I guess I will heve to eat my words.....and do so happily. I'm not sure whose idea it was to get Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffee to assist..........but that was sheer brilliance, and I did not see that coming.
Still lot's of work to be done but I am a little surprised that Ralph wants to get Belenger on track. What kind of pet project is that.......we need to deal with the trash and stop trying to recycle all the time.
It's been a solid start to the off-season. We have stockpiled lots of talent and are well positioned to make some good trades. I would have liked to acquire Methot today but as long as management is aware that change is needed, then we have the assets to make some moves.
July 02 2012, 02:08AM
Hey Johnathan,
Does Schultz's full $3.75M count against the cap? Or is it only if he makes the bonuses?
Thanks in advance if you know. I'll keep looking.

Hey Johnathan,
Does Schultz's full $3.75M count against the cap? Or is it only if he makes the bonuses?

Yes. Full cap hit
If all the Oilers have accomplished come season opener is what they have done so far , i too will be disappointed . However , the UFA marketplace i find not a very good investment as most noticeble names are frequently overpaid for their services . The trade market generally is much deeper and more in tune with actual worth . I hope/believe that is the route we are now embarking on .
So what might/should the Oilers be targetting ? Oilers will be "mum" on it probably until a deal/deals are done . I suspect someone like one of the Kanes , with Evander being a primary target perhaps ? More NHL youth might be our target over elderly . Perhaps even Nash ? Tavares would be intriguing . Looking like Oilers intend to stick with youth movement with only a few older veterans for next couple of years .
To remain status quo with just Schultz and Yakupov is not enough for upcoming season i feel , and very doubtfull we will be competitive enough to make a playoff position .
good start drafting yakupov,then signing schultz followed up by smyth and hordi signings but now we are back to same old tambo.I am all for being smart in our moves but the rebuild has gone on long enough,we have hall,eberle,rnh,yakupov,shultz,shultz,petry,smid and dubnyk with klefbom and co coming soon.we need tambo to be very active and make a trade or two.our movable assets could be hemsky,pajarrvvi,omark(bag of pucks)ganger or some minor league assets(or first and second round picks next year).we need a drop your jaw pat tambo on the back kind of trade for all of us oil fans that have endured the last 5 years,and to put a bit of faith in tambo and co,going into this season set the way we are spells disaster once again!!!!!!!
I have to say that was one of Tambellini's best press conference outings as he actually stated openly of more pinpointed Oiler items and agendas for a change.
IMO, I see the Oilers working on trading Gagner, Hemsky, Potter, Eager, Peckham and even some prospectrs for one very good defenceman, one more tough power winger, and one other NHL goaltender.
I also have a strong feeling that Georrge Laraque makes the team after a tryout.
IMO, without involving Gager and Hemsky, without the team being now yet 2012-13 completed and.... without any new summer trades yet accomplished,.... the lines are starting to look more ahead to being like:
Yakupov - RNH - RW (power forward type) LW (power forward type) - Hall - Eberle Smyth - Horcoff - Jones Petrell - Belanger - Hordichuk
First type extra's or call ups -
VandeVelde, Pitlick, Hamilton, Lander, Hartikainen, etc.
Smid - Petry Whitney - J. Schultz N. Schultz - Teubert/Sutton
First type extra's - Plante, Marancin
Dubnyk, Danis, Khabbibulin
I like the start of this so far, and if Hemsky and Gagner stay awhile more, it's not yet bad to start the next season with too.
Plllllllleeeeeeeaaaassssseee Tambellini, realize we need help in net and trade for Jonathan Bernier... That would solve exactly 1/2 our problems... Our other half is D problems, that are going to be resolved in 2 years max (Schultz, Petry, Klefbom, Marincin, Gernat, Musil)

WORKER and GENERAL DRIVERS MEETING
April 21- Seymour Raceway Park will be holding a pair of meetings this coming Tuesday night, April 26 at Doxbee's Supper Club in Seymour.
All 2016 workers are encouraged to attend a general information meeting at 7 PM. Following a brief presentation, All paperwork will be handed out and staff will assist in getting everything filled out.
Everyone needs to bring along a drivers license, or state photo ID. If neither is available, a school ID will also be acceptable. Also, your social security card.
Following the workers portion, a General Drivers meeting will be held to discuss and hand out information for the fast approaching season.
Updates will be given on the track and other projects at the track.
Also, the 2 open Test and Tune sessions on May 1 and 8, all leading up to the season opener on Sunday May 15.
Paperwork will also be available to get filled out and turned in at the meeting or brought back out to the track.
Any further information about the meetings can be obtained by calling Dave at 920-231-1157
Seymour, March 10- With the recent spring type weather quickly dispersing what little winter that is left, staff at Seymour Raceway Park is getting set to attack the new clay surface and start getting the track into race ready shape.
The 2016 season will kick off on Sunday night, May 15 with racing at 6 PM.
New track promoter, Dave Panske, has been at the track since 1984, and this is the first time in memory, that the snow has been gone this early in the spring without grading it off. The frost is also out which is allowing the moisture to settle through the new clay, and has given the track crew the itch to start working the new surface. There has to be some drying out first, but the move will be made as soon as conditions allow.
Activity is also heavy finishing up the season schedule. The slate of 16 events is set, but filling in the sponsors for the season is currently underway.
The Sunday night programs will feature three divisions weekly and will bring in a fourth on most nights. Street Stock, IMCA Sport Mod and IMCA Stock Car divisions will run weekly. Visiting divisions will include INEX Legends, Plymouth Super Mods, Badger Midgets and Mico 600, Grand Natinals, and Milwaukee Vintage Stock Car Racing Association.
The Budweiser Summer Holiday Classic series in 2016 will feature the IMCA Modifieds in a unique three race series, with over $90,000 in posted awards and contingencies. The Memorial Day event will also bring in the WDLMA Late Models for the first of 2 visits to the track this season, along with the Street Stocks.
The 3d of July will have the IRA Outlaw Sprint Cars join the IMCA Modifieds and the IMCA Sport Mods.
The final Holiday Classic event will be on Labor Day weekend and will see the IMCA Modifieds run for the final leg of their series and all three regular divisions will be running for their final points of the season.
The WDLMA Late Models will return for the second time with a full regular program on July 24.
Late Model fans will have a new event this season as the Corn Belt Clash traveling series will take to the 1/3 mile Raceway Park banked oval on August 28. The IMCA Stock cars will be the second division for this event. The race will end a big three race weekend for the Corn Belt series which will kick off on Friday night at the SpeedZone in Oshkosh with the Scheffler Memorial race. The series will travel to Plymouth for a Saturday night event and close out on Sunday night at SRP.
With the much needed new racing surface now in place, the track will hold a pair of test and tune sessions on the first 2 Sundays in May, the 1st and 8th, to allow drivers the opportunity to try out the new surface and allow track personel to see how the track reacts under near race conditions. The goal is to have a problem free program for the opener on May 15.
The new SRP web site will be up and running within the next few days. Final adjustments are being finalized and a bit of fine tuning will be on going.
The local season is rapidly approaching and Seymour Raceway Park is your Sunday Place to Race, where you will see the best NE WI short track professionals complete.
Oshkosh , January 25- The first open meeting for Seymour Raceway Park will be held TONIGHT, Monday January 25, at Doxbee's Banquet and Buffet just south of Seymour on CTY C. The meeting will start at 7 PM.
Everyone interested in the upcoming 2016 season at SRP is urged to attend.
Details about the entire program will be presented.

The Emery High Rodeo Team held their rodeo on April 19 and 20 at the Emery County Fairgrounds in Castle Dale. Participants from all over the state of Utah were on hand to compete in traditional rodeo events. Events included: steer wrestling, calf roping, bareback, bull riding, saddle bronc, team roping, breakaway, goat tying, pole bending and barrels. Producers for the event were: rough stock, Clegg Championship, roping stock, Gordon and Malone. A dance was also held in conjunction with the Carbon High Rodeo Club at the Castle Dale Arena. Kortnie Anderson was named Miss Congeniality in the queen contest. Emery High Rodeo Team consists of Kortnie Anderson, Clif McElprang, Kade Allred, Kerwin C. Jensen, Colton Allred, Kalvin Cunningham, Chet Allred, Cole Sherman, Seth Weber and Revis Rogers.
The Emery County commissioners met in their regularly scheduled meeting on April 16 at 9 a.m. Those present were Commissioners Randy Johnson, Drew Sitterud and Ira Hatch. Also present was Dave Blackwell, county attorney and Sheriff Lamar Guymon.
The first item of business was the approval of the check edit list, additional claims, requisitions and dispositions presented by Bruce Funk, county clerk.
Sheriff Guymon was next on the agenda with a presentation. He said, "Shaydon Johansen was home alone when he heard someone rattle the front door. Someone he didn't recognize walked around the house to the back door which was also locked. Shaydon took the telephone and locked himself in the bathroom and called 911. Two officers responded and they were able to pick-up the suspect a couple of blocks away. Shaydon gave a very accurate description of the person which led to him being apprehended. Shaydon did all of the right things and because of that we would like to honor him with a certificate for bravery and a reward."
On hand to help present the award to Shaydon was Martin Wilson the DARE officer from the sheriff's office and Judy Lang who is the neighborhood watch coordinator for the county. They commended Shaydon for his presence of mind and applying the things he had learned in school about safety. Shaydon lives in Huntington and was at home that day due to illness.
Pat Snowball, personnel director was next on the agenda. She presented for consideration and approval the amending of the personnel policy regarding work hours. "It has essentially the same wording; the workdays will be Monday through Friday eight hours per day. Any changes will need prior approval by elected officials."
The resolution amending the personnel policy was approved. The next item was the ratification of penalties and interest abatement for a citizen.
The next item was the ratification of clarification regarding a memorandum of understanding with the state of Idaho for use of the county's platting program in the Feb. 5, meeting minutes. The next item which was the consideration and approval of a MOU between Emery County and the United States Forest Service defining the relationship and duties of the forest service and Emery County was tabled until the next meeting.
The next item was the approval of the contract to undertake local historic preservation projects under the Certified Local Government program. Kathleen Truman explained the project which would be undertaken. She said, "We will be rehabilitating the windows at the Pioneer Museum. We have been given a grant for $4,500 for this project. It is a matching grant, but the match can be inkind. We have until August of 2003 to complete the project."
It was determined the matter would be tabled until the matter could be discussed with Castle Dale City in their next city council meeting.
The next item on the agenda was the approval of an employee contract for the history projects. Truman explained, "This is a replacement for Kolene Durfee who has taken a job at Wal-Mart. Dottie Grimes is taking her place in a 90-day appointment." The employee contract was approved.
The next item of business was the consideration and the appointment of the judges of elections and satellite registrars. The names Clerk Funk submitted for approval were: In the Emery #1 precinct, Jane Manchester, Barbara Sehestedt. Ferron #2 Evelyn Huntsman, Katherine Singleton and Laurie Pitchforth. Ferron #3 Idonna Dugmore, Diane Barney. Clawson #4 Delaina Nielsen, Betty Hatch and Helen Wright. Orangeville #5 Jeannie M. Hinkins, T. Kim Leffler and Sandra Oman. Castle Dale W. #6 Zora Peacock and Susan Keele. Castle Dale E. #7 Eileen Lofthouse and Lorie Rogers, Huntington E. #8 Loyette Holdaway, Shirley Partis and LuRene Swinburne. Huntington W.#9 Joann Shannon, Loraine Campbell and Michelle Anderson. Cleveland #10 Annette Wells, Dan M. Wells and Lorraine Jensen. Elmo #11 Georgena Hansen, LaRue Lofley and Lucille Wilson. Green River #12 Sandi Silliman, Rea Dawn Rowley and Vickie Bayless.
Clerk Funk explained that the election judges come from the caucuses and those positions are to be filled by April 1. If the Republican and the Democratic parties do not fill these positions, then the clerk's office makes recommendations. The majority party is allowed two judges and the minority party is allowed one judge. The majority party is determined by the party who received the most votes in a general election for governor, attorney general, state auditor and state treasurer. This majority has to be determined with votes for candidates who are not running unopposed. The date for the primary elections has not yet been determined. Training for judges has tentatively been set for June 3. Clerk Funk also reminded everyone that the Republican primary will be a closed primary and those not registered as a Republican will not be allowed to vote in that primary.
Commissioner Hatch was concerned about the difference in the pay between the election judges and the satellite registrars and recommended that the pay be equal.
Two motions were made and approved to appoint the election judges and satellite registrars and to approve the day rate increase to equalize the pay.
The next item on the agenda was the approval of the 2002 property tax exemptions list. The next item on the agenda was the approval and signing of a quit claim deed to clear ownership on a piece of property.
Commissioner Johnson said, "Utah Power-PacifiCorp has made a donation of $2,800 to the Emery County Fair this year to help pay for the tents. We appreciate them doing that for us."
The next item on the agenda was the minutes from the previous commission meeting. The minutes were tabled until the commissioners could look over them further.
The commissioner's reports were next on the agenda. Commissioner Hatch said they had received some good information in the Utah Association of Counties meetings which they had attended recently. He also said he is meeting with the joint highway subcommittee soon for an update on the Moore Road and the Goblin Valley project.
Commissioner Sitterud mentioned that in one of the meetings he attended that UAC stressed that when counties do business with agencies to make sure you turn the liability back to the agency you are working with.
The next item of business was to discuss the GASB requirements to see where the county is in meeting these requirements. The employees from the clerk's office assured the commissioners that they are finished with the GASB requirements and that auditors are coming in two weeks for an evaluation.
The meeting was adjourned. The next commission meeting will be on May 7 at 4 p.m.
Margaret Fugate-Swasey has been named a winner of the Bureau of Land Management's 2002 "Making a Difference" National Volunteer Award.
Margaret was born in Kennewick, Wash., where she lived until age 17. She came to Emery High and finished her senior year in Castle Dale. "My parents wanted to move home and they drug me down here with them. I was familiar with the area because we had visited many times. My dad's family the Fugates were among the first families in Molen.
"I spent summers here with my grandparents and I saw a lot of the desert and mountains of the area when I was a kid. When we moved here I missed the big city culture and activities. I saw the only recreational activity in Emery County as, 'chasing frogs on the ditchbank.' I loved the desert as a kid. My father took us camping and showed us how to take care of the land. I grew up with a respect for nature.
"After graduation I worked at various jobs around the area in grocery stores, insurance company and at the state tax commission. I also helped family with their grazing permits on the desert.
"When they first started the meetings for the Wilderness Study Areas nobody wanted wilderness. The people here generation after generation have been good stewards and were happy with the status quo. The WSAs were established anyway. It was frustrating. In 1996 I attended my first Emery County Public Lands Council Meeting. Talk then was of the National Conservation Area and the National Heritage Area. I approached Val Payne and told him I would like to become involved in the process. In 1998, I became the recreation subcommittee co-chairman.
"I have been involved with the National Public Lands Day at Cobber Globe where we built some buck and rail fencing to protect the mine site from unnecessary intrusions from ATVs. We built a trail which winds through the area. We installed chainlink fencing for safety. We also did some restoration work along Devil's Canyon. We had about 150 people attend. It was my first time organizing a big event and I was scared to death. It all worked out though. Congressman Chris Cannon was a little late getting there and we took him on a moonlight tour to see the work that had been done. It was an awesome sight.
"Public lands day is a joint effort involving BLM and the county. The next year public lands day was at the Wedge. We poured concrete around the bathroom, installed buck and rail fencing and installed fire rings. Everyone did a great job. They also cleaned up areas. A rehabilitated peregrine falcon was released and returned to the wild. It was exciting to watch the bird fly away. The National Acting Director for BLM at the time was Tom Frye who attended as did Congressman Cannon and Sally Wisely, state director for the BLM.
"The state BLM people have really supported us. Last year we held public lands day at the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. We laid one-fourth of a mile of concrete walkway. We build fences and did clean-up work. Some excavating was done along the ridge facing to see how deep the sandstone was. We worked on the trail. The work done will help handicapped users enjoy the quarry more with easier access. It was hot out there but everyone did a wonderful job. The cement trucks couldn't get in there so the cement had to be wheelbarrowed into where it needed to go. It was a lot of work, but it looks great. We had about 180 people out that day. We also had scout groups and their leaders who were fantastic helpers. Two golden eagles were also released at the end of the day. It was a very moving experience. The sun was just going down and everyone on the hill was silhouetted and lit by the sun as they released the eagles. They were released in honor of those who lost their lives on September 11 and for military and police officers everywhere. It was a neat experience it just sent chills all through me.
"This year we will be working at the head of Sinbad in the Swasey cabin area. We are going to work on restoring the roof to the cabin. The fence is also going to be moved from directly around the cabin to farther back, this will make it look better for photographs to restore that fence. Work will also be done to reroute the road to the cabin. Recontouring will be done and replanting of vegetation. Work will be done for a parking area, restroom and cement work.
"Some reclamation of pioneer routes will be done to eliminate those and restore it back to nature. We will also designate dispersed camping spots. It should be a fun project. Work will also be done to fence and protect archaeological sites in the area.
"I really enjoy public lands day, although I am always a nervous wreck the week before. Everyone comes through and makes it happen. I've had so much help from Val Payne, Randy Johnson and Dick Manus. The BLM has been great to work with, we worked with Tom Gnojeck at Copper Globe, Wayne Ludington at the Wedge and Mike Leschin at the Quarry. Dick Manus has been to all of the public lands days and Sam Espinoza from the BLM has been invaluable. We will work with Tom Gnojeck again at the head of Sinbad this year. It's been a tradition that anyone that wants to can come out the night before and camp. Dick always feeds us pie and ice cream. This way we're out there bright and early the next morning and can relax a little the night before. Sheriff Lamar Guymon always brings his search and rescue group out and they have been great support.
"Mike Leschin is the one who nominated me for this award. I am just one among a group of people and can't take credit for anything. I will accept the award for the entire recreation subcommittee. Mike forwarded me an e-mail with a list of people on it and my name was on there. I couldn't believe it. This is quite an honor. This is the last thing I ever thought I'd be doing, going to Washington, D.C. to receive a national award. They give the winners an all-expense paid trip back to Washington on May 29-31 to receive the award.
"My sister will accompany me on the trip. My brother works at the Reagan National Airport and we will also see him. My little brother is one of the heroes from September 11. He was with the second wave of firemen and paramedics who went into the Pentagon that day.
"I have never been east of Colorado before so this is totally new to me. I hope others can go with me because they deserve recognition too," said Margaret.
Leschin said, "They have been giving out this award since 1995. Margaret will be honored at a ceremony on May 30 in the south penthouse of the main interior building. BLM dignitaries have been invited to give out the awards. Kathleen Clarke who is the national director and Gale Norton, secretary of the interior could be on hand. Nationwide each year people volunteer 750,000 hours to the BLM, either as camphosts, trail guides, public lands days and other volunteer projects. We couldn't come close to meeting our workload without these volunteers.
"I nominated Maggie because she is very good at organization. We have a lot of people that come out and want to help but it's almost imposssible to use them one on one. But, when someone like Maggie organizes them into a group then we can get things done. I am not surprised that she won she is extra helpful.
"I am delighted with the work that was done at the Quarry last public lands day. I would like to thank them all again. We couldn't have poured that sidewalk without the skilled volunteers. BLM has plans for future improvements to the Quarry. We have a team coming from the University of Utah who will be here digging the week after Memorial Day. We also have a lot of school groups who come out here on field trips. We have sent the bones from this site worldwide. People from Emery County have been great to volunteer and I'm happy to see Maggie recognized," said Leschin.
Margaret said, "I enjoy the desert. I feel at home out here. The desert has a healing property. I just love to drive and find a nice place with a view and just sit. It heals the soul. I work at the GIS department for the county, gathering information on Emery County's roads. We find documentation on maps that prove uses and prove that a road is there. In the old days when people went from there homes to gather wood or go out to work they would start out in their wagons and took the easiest routes. This use continued for generations. They would just go around something if it was in the way. Sometimes they built dugways, but they didn't waste time or energy. If a road existed prior to 1976 it is considered a RS-2477 road. We also do photographic surveys of all the roads. I'm always looking for volunteers who would like to go with me on these trips to the desert. I work with Mick Robinson and Lee Rasmussen in the GIS department.
"I am very excited to go to Washington. My sister said I had to buy a new wardrobe which means I can get a new hat and boots," said Margaret.
