The Saucony Ride 5 may look like a traditional trainer, but its design conceals a number of updates that make for a more responsive, lighter weight shoe.
Saucony has shifted all of their traditional running shoes from a 12mm heel-to-toe offset to an 8mm offset. But don't be scared away by the change; the 4mm difference is less than a sixth of an inch, and not extremely noticeable to our testers who regularly run in traditional running shoes. No, the biggest benefit we found with the reduced offset of the Ride 5 is that is allows for the use of less material, which equals weight reduction.
The Ride 5 feels very light for all the features it packs in. It also feels a bit firmer than prior Ride models, with a smoother transition. Testers felt that the resilient cushioning offered good protection for pretty much any distance a typical runner will want to go.
The upper is also a nice place for your foot to be, thanks to a heel collar that feels locked in and custom-molded to your foot, along with open mesh that sheds heat well and very high quality materials throughout. Testers found it easy to dial in the midfoot fit just the way they wanted thanks to good positioning of the eyelets and laces with just the right amount of give in them.
The ride of this shoe is more taught, with more pep than I thought possible in the daily trainer category.
I like is the shoe's versatility. It would be a great choice for a heel striker who wants to transition to a more midfoot strike, or for someone who feels right at home heel striking and just wants good cushioning and a smooth ride.
This is a good feeling shoe. The cushioning has a bit of bounce to it and the 8mm drop gives it a touch of performance.

Instruction Memorandum No. 2007-061
Expires: 09/30/2008
To: All Field Officials
From: Assistant Director, Renewable Resources and Planning
Subject: The 2007 Grazing Fee, Surcharge Rates, and Penalty for Unauthorized Grazing Use
Program Area: Livestock Grazing Administration
Background: Livestock grazing fees are calculated annually and administered in accordance with 43 CFR 4130.8.
Policy /Action: 2007 Grazing Fee
The fee for livestock grazing on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) during the 2007 grazing fee year (March 1, 2007 through February 28, 2008) is $1.35 per animal unit month (AUM).
Surcharge for Authorized Grazing
In accordance with 43 CFR 4130.8-1(f), the BLM adds a surcharge to the grazing fee bill for authorized grazing of livestock owned by persons other than the permittee or lessee except where such use is made by livestock owned by sons and daughters of permittees and lessees as provided in 43 CFR 4130.7(f), 43 CFR 4130.7(d) specifies the requirements that apply to pasturing agreements. When pasturing agreements are in effect, the BLM adds the surcharge to the permittee's or lessee's grazing fee billing based on the number of AUMs being billed. The surcharge must be paid before grazing use begins, except where "after the grazing season" billing occurs under the terms of an approved allotment management plan or other activity plan intended to serve as a functional equivalent.
Table 1 lists the grazing fee surcharge rates in effect for the 2007 grazing fee year. They vary by state and equal 35 percent of the difference between the 2007 grazing fee and the 2006 private land lease rate for the state where the pasturing agreement occurs. Surcharge rates are calculated automatically by the BLM's Rangeland Administration System (RAS) and the appropriate state rate(s) are assessed based on the state distribution entered in the RAS.
Table 1: 2007 Surcharge Rates
Penalty for Unauthorized Grazing Use
The value of forage consumed for unauthorized grazing is the average private grazing land lease rate per AUM for the state where the unauthorized grazing occurs. The National Agricultural Statistics Service publishes the state rates annually in January.
In cases where grazing has been approved for livestock that are not owned by the permittee and lessee, but those livestock make unauthorized use of public forage, the regular nonwillful and willful penalty amounts apply.
Where unauthorized grazing occurs in an allotment located in multiple states, RAS automatically calculates the value of forage consumed by calculating the AUMs that were grazed in each state and applying the applicable state unauthorized use rate to that amount.
Nonwillful: The value of forage consumed rates that BLM will use for nonwillful unauthorized grazing during the 2007 grazing fee year are listed in Table 2.
Under 43 CFR 4150.3(a), the BLM may approve nonmonetary settlement of nonwillful unauthorized use violations if the BLM determines that the unauthorized use occurred through no fault of the livestock operator, the forage use is insignificant, the public lands have not been damaged, and that nonmonetary settlement is in the best interest of the United States.
Table 2: 2007 Rates for Nonwillful Unauthorized Grazing Use
Willful Unauthorized Grazing Use: As per 43 CFR 4150.3(b), the rates BLM uses for the value of forage consumed for willful unauthorized use is twice the nonwillful rate as shown in Table 2.
Repeated Willful Unauthorized Grazing Use: As per 43 CFR 4150.3(c), the rate BLM uses for the value of forage consumed is three times the nonwillful rate as shown in Table 2.
The 43 CFR 4150.3 requires that settlement for willful and repeated willful violations include the value of the forage consumed, the value for damages to the public lands and other property of the United States, and all reasonable expenses in detecting, investigating, resolving violations, and livestock impoundment costs. The BLM determines the latter two amounts on a case by case basis.
Penalty for Subleasing Violations:
Any person found to have violated the subleasing prohibition under 43 CFR 4140.1 (a)(6) shall be required under 43 CFR 4170.1-1(d) to pay twice the respective State amount listed in Table 2 and may be subject to other appropriate penalties under these regulations.
Contact: If you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact Ken Visser, Rangeland Management Specialist, at (775) 861-6492, Leon Pack, NS&TC 140, at (303) 236-0156, or Wendy Favinger, ISO 915, at (208) 373-3822.

Pardew hopeful over Ben Arfa
Alan Pardew hopes the impending return of the mercurial Hatem Ben Arfa can spark Newcastle into life.
- Related Content
21. Hatem Ben Arfa
|10 (18)
The 25-year-old France international, one of the few Magpies to shine on a regular basis during a difficult start to the campaign, has missed the last four games with a hamstring injury.
His pace and invention proved potent weapons during the early weeks of the season, and when he joined compatriot Yohan Cabaye on the sidelines Newcastle were robbed of much of their spark.
Ben Arfa could be one of several big names to return to the side at Fulham on Monday night, and that would represent a significant boost for Pardew.
"If he is fit enough to play, it would be important because he's a good player - a great player," Pardew said.
"If there was one defender to beat and I had to choose a player too take him on beat him, it would be Hatem. That's his real strength."
Ben Arfa was already on the books at St James' Park when Pardew arrived two years ago having been signed on a season-long loan deal from Marseille by predecessor Chris Hughton.
However, he was at home in France recovering from an horrific double leg fracture suffered in just his fourth appearance at Manchester City on October 3, 2010.
Pardew pushed through a permanent deal during the following January despite the midfielder being months away from a return and having seen him only second-hand, with his performance and winning goal at Everton a particular highlight of the manager's research.
Asked what had prompted his decision, he said: "It was the tape of the Everton game and the goal.
"The little history I did about him in France was enough to convince me that he had massive talent.
"It was just a question of whether I could work with him and get into his head, and I felt I could do that with the experience I'd had of Yossi Benayoun, Carlos Tevez, Javier Mascherano, Teddy Sheringham, and fortunately it seems to have worked out."
Pardew will hope to have not only Ben Arfa but also Davide Santon, Cheick Tiote, Jonas Gutierrez, Gabriel Obertan and Demba Ba back in harness at Craven Cottage as the Magpies attempt to build on last Monday's 3-0 home victory over Wigan.
That ended a run of four successive Barclays Premier League defeats and although it came courtesy, in part at least, of a controversial early dismissal for defender Maynor Figueroa, that, coupled with a positive performance in defeat at Stoke, has helped to restore a measure of confidence.
Pardew said: "Every Premier League game brings its own difficulties, so it doesn't really matter too much who the opposition is.
"It's about ourselves and we produced a level of football against Wigan and Stoke that has buoyed us all on the training ground, and you can see that.
"There's definitely a stronger attitude to attack games."
Fulham, however, has not been a happy hunting ground for Newcastle in recent seasons - they have lost on seven of their 10 Premier League visits and five of the last six with last season's 5-2 drubbing a particularly demoralising experience for Pardew.
Pardew said: "They are a good side and they play very, very well at home, so it's a tough encounter.
"Last year, we probably played our best half of football in the first half. Unfortunately, the second half was probably our worst, so we are hoping we don't put in that Jekyll and Hyde performance that we did last year."

Skip to comments.Transgender advocates want free mammograms under Obamacare
Posted on 10/19/2013 9:30:27 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
News that an uninsured transgender woman in Colorado was denied a free mammogram has prompted two advocacy groups to petition the federal government for equality in screening.
That is irrational discrimination, plain and simple, said Harper Jean Tobin, director of policy for the National Center for Transgender Equality.
Breast-cancer screenings save lives and should be available to all women, period, added Shane Snowdon, director of the Human Rights Campaigns health and aging program.
President Obamas 2010 Affordable Care Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, including on the basis of gender identity or sex stereotyping, they wrote Friday in a letter to Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Current federal guidance says that only women who are genetically female are eligible for subsidized mammograms....
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
Whining crybabies...
I say make the "free"-gram using a wringer.
Hey, I'm good with it. Let's include mammograms for men and prostrate exams for women. I'm shuddering at the thought of what a male hysterectemy is going to be.
The GOP should get free testicle exams. The cost would be minimal.
The basic problem here is the misuse of the word "free." There is no "free." If you're getting a good or service, and you're not paying for it, someone else is. And that would be John Q. Taxpayer. And I can't find anywhere in the Constitution where it says it's the government's responsibility to supply mammograms.
Higher cancer risks.
Women are supposed to have babies and use their mammaries generously to feed their infants. Sorta the use it or lose it principle.
"She" is a MAN!!!!! He has no more risk of breast cancer than any OTHER man!!! (Men can get breast cancer, but the incidence is very low) OTOH, screwing around with massive doses of hormones could conceivably have unforeseen side effects....
Stick it in here, fruitloop.
Men can be referred for mammograms if there are reasons to suggest breast cancer. Why doesn't this clinic include those men in their "free" offer?
I'm not a biological male but I want my damn prostate exam!
Welcome to the Crazy Years.
Hopefully 0bamaCare will treat electile dysfunction because this country is suffering a terrible case of it.
It should be a meat grinder with these freaks. I should be the one suing for discrimination when these pukes discriminate against normalcy.
and free prostate and testicular cancer screening too.
A Hat Trick.
Can silicone grow tumors? WTF?
There is male breast cancer, Rod Roddy died of it. But come on.
We should all file a class action lawsuit for breach of contract visa vie the Constitution.
I suppose that they're going to want Pap smears also for their non existent uteri.
These men are given feminizing hormones that turn male breast meat into functioning female breasts. All this gender reassignment stuff is a slap in the face to nature. I'm surprised there is not more negative consequences than just breast cancer.
I say we mash more than their boobies in that.
I'd expect all sorts of cancer risks. Not just breast cancer.
But it's not like they have ovaries, a uterus or any other girl parts so it's not the SAME risk as a normal woman, obviously.
Prostrate surgery under Obamacare ? they hand you a cloths hanger and tell you to yank it out your self.
That's a Man!!
Barney Frank would be pleased to be the director of that program.
Just fertility treatments including IVF.
Let my people go!
This sounds like this piece by South Park-
If true, then lesbians should demand nothing less than prostate exams.
We're living in one giant loony bin.
What a cluster f**k...
The use of these female enhancing hormones may produce the breast they want, but there are trade-offs: prostrate cancer, heart disease, blood clots, type II diabetes, pituitary tumors, loss of libido and other slaps in the face by nature. If their gender reassignment has turned them into an ugly female, they risk living a lonely and unloved life that they would not have had as a male.
Maybe these guys should talk to some real women who've actually had to deal with breast cancer. Maybe then they'll decide they like being men after all.
To #15> You say the country is suffering a terrible care of it ("electile dysfunction").
Let's translate that into everyday English:
* Our country is full of pricks" (we know that)
* The GOP is led by limp pricks" (That's not the name of a German rock band). Boehner didn't get his name for being a straight-up guy.
* The Democrats are syphillitic pricks who are infecting the country with marxism and stupidity.
* Obama is the father of modern marxist America, because he's been successfully screwing the American people since 1995.
As for the Democrat women, .....!
LOL Well played!
The GOP should get free testicle exams. The cost would be minimal.

Post-match reaction to the drawn fourth Test between India and England in Nagpur.
- Related Content
England captain Alastair Cook rated his side's historic 2-1 Test series win in India every bit as special as their 2010-11 Ashes success in Australia.
Cook led his team to a victory, in his first tour as permanent Test captain, which many thought was beyond them.
In fact, after a nine-wicket defeat in the first Test in Ahmedabad, Ashes-winning captain Michael Vaughan was among a vast majority - experts and otherwise - predicting a 4-0 defeat.
However, Cook's team fought back with successive victories in Mumbai and Kolkata then, thanks to centurions Jonathan Trott (143) and Ian Bell (116 not out), they finished the job with a series-clinching draw in Nagpur.
Cook led from the front throughout, including a defiant 176 in that initial defeat and then a big century too in each of the next two Tests.
But it was after watching Trott and Bell combine so relentlessly to keep India at bay for more than 150 overs in England's second-innings 352 for four declared today that Cook naturally felt the greatest sense of satisfaction.
"I think it's on a par with the Ashes," he said, having scored a mountain of runs both then and now.
Success in Australia came after a wait of almost a quarter of a century. Success in India was the first since 1984-5.
"As an Englishman, winning in Australia after so long meant a huge amount," Cook added. "But in that dressing room there for that last half an hour, knowing what we had achieved, it was a very special place and it will live long in my memory."
England always professed public belief that they could overturn history and refute perceived wisdom of their surefire failings on the sub-continent.
Cook admits nonetheless that, after their nine-wicket defeat in Ahmedabad, they needed to convince themselves as well that they could succeed here.
"Of course there was doubt," he added. "There is always doubt, especially after halfway through day two when we were getting rolled.
"I was surprised at the level we managed to achieve so soon after Ahmedabad.
"I was talking (there) about playing to our potential, but I was surprised we managed to do it straight away and put all those doubts to bed and prove it to ourselves."
Cook's runs could not salvage a first-Test draw, but they did show his team-mates what was possible.
"When you go to bed at night realising you can play out here, that is a very encouraging thing," he added.
"After that second innings in Ahmedabad we thought 'Yes, we can score runs out here'.
"As I said then, if we could play close to our potential as a side we had a chance of winning a game and we did that.
"Then we backed it up in Kolkata and in this game we continued in that form.
"It was about transferring what we've been practising and working on out in the middle and trusting our ability to do that, especially with the bat.
"The lads really stood up in those three games with the bat and we know what a quality bowling attack we had, we have proven that over a number of years."
It fell to Warwickshire pair Trott and Bell to finish the job.
"It has been an incredible tour and to end it today and how convincingly we managed to bat out (was great)," Cook added.
"It was obviously a pretty nervy dressing room for the last 140 overs, knowing how close we were to something very special.
"But we went out and did it convincingly, especially obviously Trotty and Belly today, who were a very calming influence.
"I can't praise the guys enough, the whole squad. Everyone has contributed and the willingness to learn and to front up to what is a very tough challenge out here was fantastic."
Spinners Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar took 19 wickets between them in Mumbai, where Kevin Pietersen's wonderful 186 helped Cook lay the foundation for victory.
All along, lynchpin seamer James Anderson - man of the match in the final Test for his four wickets - has been a paragon of discipline and supreme reverse-swing skill.
Cook was grateful to them all, adding: "(There was) Monty coming in, Jimmy outstanding with the reversing ball and Swanny the leading wicket taker. Those three were fantastic.
"Clearly we got it wrong in Ahmedabad in not playing Monty, but when we put it right he has been outstanding.
"What was it, 50 overs for 80 yesterday? He's a captain's dream. You just throw him the ball and you know he's going to be there or thereabouts."
Above all, though, it has been a collective effort and a learning curve for the tourists.
"We took a big hit in Ahmedabad and we looked at ourselves and we tried to turn it round," Cook said. "We have to give ourselves a lot of credit for the way we played."
Anderson was awarded the man of the match award after taking four for 81 in India's first innings and finishing with 12 wickets in the series.
He came into his own during the third and fourth Tests by mastering reverse-swing after a relatively quiet start in India.
The 30-year-old always believed he would have a key part to play, refusing to rely on the spinners who normally prosper on the sub-continent.
"When we come over here, people think that spinners are going to get all the wickets but we knew that the seamers had a job to do over here," he said.
"We really wanted to show people we can do a job here and I really think we have.
"I've bowled better than I have before. Reverse-swing has been a key part of us doing well.
"We've really practised it in the nets and in the games we've had leading up to the series. I think we executed our plans really well in the game."
Anderson also profited from bowling shorter spells.
"You're only going to bowl three or four overs in a spell so being able to give it everything, it really helps you and you also get quite a long rest with the spinners we've got as well," he added.
Meanwhile, India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni hopes master batsman Sachin Tendulkar will continue his Test career.
Veteran Tendulkar mustered only 112 runs in six innings in the 2-1 loss and, at 39, it is obvious he is already in the twilight of his great career.
Asked whether he expects to see Tendulkar play Test cricket again, Dhoni said: "I hope so."
But pressed as to whether Tendulkar has told him he will, he said: "No."
With or without Tendulkar, India must pick themselves up from a disappointing campaign for forthcoming limited-overs series against Pakistan and then England, before they face Australia in Tests.
"They are a very well balanced side, the two spinners they have are very good," Dhoni said of England.
"Anderson bowled really well throughout the series on wickets where there wasn't much help for the fast bowlers.
"That was really crucial. He tested the batsmen all the time and kept them guessing. I thought the major difference between the two sides was James Anderson."
Dhoni's team, and perhaps coach Duncan Fletcher, are sure to face a storm of criticism for their failure on home soil.
But the captain will not be getting things out of proportion.
"Sure, it has been tough," he said. "But there are not many things that come close to what we went through when we lost in the 2007 World Cup, I don't think it's even close to that.
"We are going through a tough time and a stage where we will have to see what really works for us.
"If you don't give youngsters chances, how do you know whether they are good enough or not?
"They won't all get big hundreds in the very first game they play. Some of the very best players did not start off really well; some even scored four or five zeros and then turned out to be very good Test players.
"It's difficult to replace Rahul Dravid or Sachin Tendulkar or VVS Laxman ... you have to back young players and give them a chance to prove themselves.
"We have a few big players who have left us, which means the youngsters will have to fill in the gaps and the seniors will have to take extra responsibility until the juniors start making runs and taking wickets."
India needed to win the final Test to level the series, but found themselves playing on a uniquely paceless surface tailor-made for the stalemate which gave England the series.
"We bowled for 10 hours and we got three batsmen out," Dhoni said.
"You can't just sit there and say we need to be aggressive. Aggression is not just about setting a silly-point or short-leg, or having a slip; you have to analyse where you can get a batsman out on a wicket like that.
"It's very difficult to make a good wicket in the sub-continent. They tried, but it's very tricky."

As a result of the major disaster, agriculture producers are eligible for Farm Service Agency emergency loans due to physical and production losses. These losses were a result of flooding and landslides that occurred April 28 through June, 29, 2005.
Therefore, Emery/Carbon counties were also name as contiguous.
Farmers and ranchers in Emery/Carbon counties can apply for an emergency loan to cover part of their actual losses and must apply by April 3, 2006. To be eligible, producers must have suffered a 30 percent loss of normal production, be able to repay the loan and other existing debt, be unable to get credit elsewhere, have adequate security, and must have obtained multi-peril drop insurance or have signed an insurance waiver. Each application will be considered on its own merit.
Applications can be picked up at the Emery/Carbon County FSA Office, 1120 Des-Bee-Dove Road, Castle Dale, or contact us at 1-435-381-2300.

The Seeley Fire is in the wind down phase. A meeting was held at Canyon View Junior High to brief agencies and the county on what to expect in the aftermath of the fire. Forest ranger from the Ferron office, Darren Olsen said they are continuing to work on the fire and work on hot spots will go on throughout the summer. There will continue to be smoke and heat from the fire in the upcoming weeks. Workers will monitor these spots and continue to watch so they don't grow.
The BAER team will come in to assess the fire. This is the Burned Area Emergency Response team. They will look at the needs for the fire including erosion control, seeding problem areas including the fire lines and will monitor the regrowth of the natural vegetation. They will look at what can be done to mitigate the damage. They won't be successful in stopping all erosion, but they will identify troubled areas and that is the main focus of that team. This BAER work will continue for the next couple of weeks. These experts will move around the burn area and look at the resources and make recommendations as to what can be done and they will come up with a proposal. Because of the number of fires this season, the resources and money pool will be greatly stretched and a shortage in that pocket of funds may determine the extent to what rehabilitation measures can be taken. Olsen said, "We will do the best we can with the money we have."
Areas greatly affected by the fire include the stockmen and grazers and recreation. The burned forest presents a variety of dangers to the public including rock and timber slides and flash flooding. Camping is closed in the burn area. All trails are closed at this time to give the forest service time to check for debris and downed trees on trails. They will begin to do the work that needs to be done so at some point trails can be reopened. Snag trees will need to be eliminated. "There's a lot of work that will need to be done. Work for years to come to return this area to the scenic byway it has always been; so we can enjoy the mountains like we have been able to up to this point," said Olsen.
Tom Boheena, the operation section chief said the Arizona management team has been in charge of the fire for the last couple of weeks and July 12 was their last day. He showed the map and felt like it was the final perimeter of the fire. He feels the fire is under control unless some unusual weather patterns develop. The fire has been divided into sections and different groups of fire fighters assigned to each section. The fire put itself out in some areas where it ran out of fuel, especially near the cliffs around Hiawatha and other areas with similar terrain. Vick's Canyon continues to burn and smolder. There are a few flare-ups here and there within the fire perimeter. Crews were still working in Cox Canyon on July 10. Firemen will continue to patrol the burn areas to watch for trouble spots. The sprinkler set-ups have been pulled from the Hiawatha area. There is still a coal pile burning in Hiawatha.
Concerns about the mudslides between South Hughes and Engineer Canyon are just part of what's to come. Any amount of rainfall can start the debris coming down the now bare hills, when it reaches the flat surface of the highway it spreads out over the flat area and causes problems. The sheriff's office and Utah Department of Transportation will be on the alert for any road blockages and they will be dealt with as they come.
Sandee Dingman pointed out one danger the flash floods can cause the roads to wash out underneath the pavement and the road can cave in and culverts are easily plugged with timbers. She cautioned drivers of the canyon to be extremely careful and to stay out of the mountains if it looks like rain. Black water has been flowing in the Huntington Creek and the Price River.
Kelly Allen told about the remote weather detection devices which are being set-up at key spots around the burn area which will alert officials to any signs of changes in the weather so alerts can be issued and action taken. These portable weather stations have their own power supply. They give real time information on wind speed, rain and weather conditions. A list is being compiled of who to notify when weather conditions change which may affect the stake holders. Those putting out the monitors discovered they aren't elk proof, as curious elk in the area nosed around the monitors. The monitors can set off alarms in various locations to alert of the weather changes. Once these alerts are received the public can be notified with the reverse 911 system. Costs associated with the weather monitors are minimal.
The BAER program is a federal program whose purpose is to protect life, property and natural resources. They will initiate emergency stabilization of burned areas to help with watersheds. Watersheds involved in the burn area include Huntington, Miller Creek, Pinnacle Wash, Gordon Creek and Mud Creek. Huntington Creek is the largest area involved in the burn area. Most of the other watersheds are out of the burned area. Post fire flash flooding is a real danger to the public. The BAER team does not replant or log out areas. They do emergency watershed stabilization. They will bring in geologists, hydrologists, GIS personnel and they will consult with the local entities and will prepare a satellite image map of the area which will also show unburned areas. These models will help predict what rain falls are likely to do. BAER will identify threats and mitigate risk and offer solutions and treatments. It will take one year to implement and three years of monitoring. The evaluation process will take at least two weeks and any treatment plans are subject to approval. It takes money for implementation.
The early warning systems will alert personnel to see if emergency closures of the roads are necessary during weather events. BAER work will also include increasing the road drainage capacity sometimes by increasing the size of culverts. Some changes of road design is sometimes necessary. They will work to remove floatable woody debris from areas. They will work to stabilize hillsides where feasible. A lot of road work will be done to keep travel ways safe. They will seed where feasible. There will be areas where steep terrain presents problems for rehabilitation work. A lot of treatments will be considered. Work cannot be done over the entire 50,000 acres. Rehabilitation work is costly often three times the amount of the cost of the fire. Work will begin first with the main objective being the protection of life and property.
Jason Roper from the NRCS said they are available to help with rehabilitation on private lands. A county or a city must sponsor land to be rehabilitated and they have a cost share program 75/25 and in-kind work can count as match money. Private lands comprised 6,000 acres in the Seeley fire.
The BAER team will reseed under limited conditions, mainly dozer lines and water shed related projects. We would like to get it growing before a significant rain event. Seeding for erosion control is limited. Long term rehabilitation for the burned area is under a different program.
Capt. Kyle Ekker thanked the Arizona team for all the work they have done.
