If a player hits a ball which is considered to be out of bounds, in a hazard and lost, he has the option to play a provisional ball before continuing with the game. In the event the original ball is considered lost, a player is allowed five minutes to find a lost ball. During that time, if a team comes up from behind, the best thing to do is to let them play through.
If after the five minutes of searching for the original ball with no success, the player should play his provisional ball. Remember to let the team which was allowed to play through to proceed far enough ahead not to be hit by your next shots.
Golf is a game played on a relatively soft surface, a lawn. It is inevitable that a player will do some damage to the fairway, tee, or the green. If a player is on the tee and takes a divot, most courses have seed and sand on the carts for the purpose of filling the holes. If the course does not have those on the carts, retrieve the divot and replace it. Please fill the holes, and no, those little containers on the back of the carts are not ashtrays, they are sand and seed to fill the holes on the tee box.
When in the fairway and a divot is taken, it is customary to retrieve the piece of sod which was cut out and replace it in the divot. Place the piece of sod so that it is in the original position as closely as possible. It helps to tamp the sod down with your foot to secure it back into position. When the sod is not retrievable, use the sand and seed in the container on the cart.
When making a bunker shot, the sand is always displaced by your club and your feet. Near the bunker, rakes are placed to make smoothing out the bunkers easier. Always use the rake to remove any marks from the sand in the bunkers.
On the green, many times a ball will make a small indentation when landing on the surface of the green. For this reason, all golfers should carry a green repair tool. This tool must be used to repair the mark left on the green by a ball striking the surface. The greens will heal nicely in a few days and the surface will stay suitable for play.
Many times, a golfer will notice some amount of damage done by others, who either do not know how to repair the damage or are not aware of their responsibility to the course to repair any damage. A dedicated golfer, who genuinely cares for the game and the course, will repair any damage he comes upon.
Golfers should never, under any circumstances, do any damage to the fairways, greens, bunkers, or golf course equipment, intentionally. Golf can sometimes be quite frustrating, but a player should never hit, strike or throw a club or other piece of equipment which will result in damage to the course or the equipment, or another person.

The Green River Pirates are preparing for the homecoming game this Friday night as the two basketball teams will be hosting Intermountain Christian.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Huntington Cleveland Irrigation Company recently held its annual meeting which included an update concerning the $47.8 million salinity project which is now underway. Larry Perkins and Ross Wilson from JUB Engineering are the engineers working on the project. Perkins presented a power point presentation to explain some of the questions regarding the progress of the project.
"We've been slow in starting this salinity project and some have been hurt by that. I know it has cost some of you. It has become apparent due to the size of this project that many state and federal people have become involved and are now making decisions," Perkins said.
"The project has slowed with all the policies and procedures now in place. This project has changed projects that will take place in the future. As for the local people in the agencies involved, they have been good all along. But, the other agencies have put a slow down on some things such as funding.
"As for PacifiCorp, from the start they have been a great supporter of this project. They have helped a lot. The board of HCIC have handled this project with intelligence and good judgment. They have made some difficult decisions," added Perkins.
Perkins stated this power point presentation would answer many of the questions the members of HCIC have. He began with a review of the project. The project consists of three ponds. The Upper pond and Snowball pond are in the construction phase. Huntington North reservoir is the third body of water in the project.
The Huntington pond and the lower Elmo pond, which will also undergo construction, will act as the pressure stabilization outlets for the new sprinkling system. There will be pipelines constructed which will run from all ponds to the individual connections and meters at the farms in the system.
The construction phases of this project will be as follows: phase 1-areas north, south and east of Elmo; areas southeast of Huntington; Lawrence and Buffalo areas; Snowball pond; and lower Elmo pressure regulating station. Phase 2-area west of Elmo; area north of Cleveland; transmission pipeline to Upper pond; and Upper pond. Phase 3 will consist of construction of the balance of the main feeder lines, the lines that will deliver water to the areas in phase 4 as they are funded, and the Huntington pressure regulation station. Phase 4 will be the balance of the delivery pipelines to the areas north of Huntington, the Cleveland area, and the area south and west of Huntington.
Phase 1 has not been completed due to funding complications. The main feeder lines are complete and the delivery lines to all farms with sprinkling systems in place are scheduled to be completed by May. The balance of phase 1 will be completed as funding approval comes in from the NRCS.
The total number of water uses involved with phase 1 is 125. Those who have applied for and received NRCS contracts number 92. That leaves 33 remaining water users in phase 1.
Work on phase 2 of the project has begun with construction on the main feeder line progressing. The engineers are investigating property for the Upper pond. Design for that pond will begin when a site is selected. Phase 2 is scheduled to be complete and serve all farms with sprinkling systems in place by May of 2009. The construction of phases 3 and 4 will be completed as funding is approved.
One of the most asked question is "Will I have water for my sprinkler system this summer? Delivery lines are expected to be completed to all farms with sprinkling systems in place by May. The construction company, Nielson Construction, has been adding extra crews and are working as weather permits to meet the May date.
Will there be enough money to finish the project or will we have to borrow? If NRCS funding continues the way it is with phase 1, there will be sufficient funding to complete the project. Perkins said borrowing money will only be necessary if the decision is made to construct a large reservoir at the Johnny Jensen site.
What if I do not connect now? A stub out valve will be provided for shareholders who have no NRCS contract and no sprinkling system. Water will be delivered in the canal until they apply and get NRCS funding. The meter and delivery lines to the farm must then be included by the applicant for NRCS funding.
What if I don't plan to ever connect? If a shareholder says he is never going to sprinkle, HCIC will arrange delivery of his water for flood irrigation. Water will be delivered at a sprinkler system rate of flow. If he decides to sprinkle, he will pay the 25 percent NRCS match and he will reimburse HCIC for the additional money that was paid to provide for flood irrigation out of the pressure system.
When will the canals be taken out of service? It depends on the water users. Everyone served by a particular canal must be connected to the pressure system before water can be taken out of that section of canal. The engineers best guess is: North ditch below Huntington North reservoir-spring 2009; Cleveland canal below Elmo City pond-spring 2010; Huntington canal below Lawrence South pond-too soon to tell; laterals and ditches-waters users on that lateral or ditch will decide. There are canals that will remain in service during the irrigation season. These are only estimates, not exact dates.

Custom Lures Unlimited Zero Gravity Jig
Every once in a while a revolutionary concept sweeps through the fishing industry and starts to raise some eyebrows, the Zero Gravity Jig has been the catalyst for such a reaction. Constructed from a non-lead material and precisely shaped, the Zero Gravity Jig has earned its name from the incredibly slow 1 foot per 3 seconds rate of fall. When fishing a jig it's not uncommon to get bit on the drop, so prolonging the amount of time spent descending can only have one result - more fish.
Not only does the Zero Gravity Jig's rate of fall create a desirable characteristic for traditional jig fishing, but it also opens up other avenues of application.The near neutral descent allows anglers to wake it, swim it, jerk it, and even Carolina-Rig it. In addition, the Zero Gravity Jig makes an ideal choice following cold fronts or when swimming through pads, grass, trees, and stumps. The Zero Gravity Jig comes equipped with a patented fusion banded die-cut skirt with built-in kicker legs, as well as, a color matched fiber weedguard and a super sharp 4/0 black nickel VMC jig hook. The innovative design and construction of the 0.21oz Zero Gravity Jig presents a slow-moving snack for lethargic fish and ushers in the next generation of bass fishing jigs.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Got the bluegill pattern and put half a senko on the back. It will walk underwater like a jerk bait with short twitches. Works great in shallow water with mucky bottoms. Hook sets were easy and solid.
From: Phil: Fort Collins, CO 5/9/16
Comments: Got a zero gravity jig in the bluegill color and man it's a great bait to throw at any piece of cover. I prefer to put a Keitech Swing Impact Fat in the bluegill flash color. I have only use this bait for about a month and its caught me about 35 bass. it's an all around great bait.
From: Payne: DE 7/27/15
Comments: Just used these for the first time & I'm excited about the results. I used the Bluegill color with a copper candy Erie Darter trailer on a clear water lake with lots of emergent vegetation. In calm sunny conditions, I'd flip this into pockets in the grass. It lands with almost no splash & looks very natural. Twitch it & it's kind of like a jig & a suspending jerkbait had a baby. I caught 7 fish in one day on this. Also used it as a follow-up bait when fish missed the toad. Seems like a game changer in the right conditions.
From: Brian: Oak Forest, IL 5/25/15
Comments: I am VERY impressed with this Zero Gravity Jig. I bought some and on my first time out fishing with this bait I caught a personal best. A 9.10 LMG. I LOVE this bait. The fall is something that drives the fish crazy. Get you some of this one. It is fantastic.
From: Bobby: LA 3/29/15
Comments: i have some of the first of the non lead jigs that came out. the weed guards were the only thing that i had a complaint about. they were molded out of the same material as the jig and too stiff to be effective. these new gravity jigs are a big improvement. i use pork trailers to slow the fall rate even more when needed. there are so many applications for these jigs it's up to the fishermen to pick and choose which to use. the carolina rig seems to be the best for me. shadzilla is my favorite color along with bluegill.
From: Wes: Salinas, CA 3/18/15
Comments: An absolute GAME CHANGER...the profile of a jig with the SLOW horizontal seductive fall of a senko/weightless plastic...it is an acrylic/plastic head that weighs virtually nothing...But the whole jig weighs enough (with a good size trailer) to cast easily and pitch to docks/shoreline structure. There is no weight densely packed in 1 spot like on most jigs (in the head) so it falls totally horizontally and slowly. When you "hop" it it glides upward then slowly down almost suspending...This thing is amazing and gives the bass something they truly haven't seen.
From: Tanner: Fall River, MA
Comments: Nice to see a replacement for the acrylic head spro jigs of years past. But unfortunately the weed guard is absolutely worthless. It will catch on wood no matter how slow it is brought through. Broke off four times luckily I was able to get them back each time. Ordered five jigs and all of them have hook points that can be felt through the guard. I thought nk a dab of epoxy while bent into position will do the trick. Other than that. They offer great bulk and a great presentation. I fish alot of submerged wood. And with fish suspending near the tops it is a great way to present a bulky bait to negative fish. An improvement to the weed guard is a must. Adding a bait keeper would be nice too although not a deal breaker.
From: ScoobyDoo: Bridgewater, nj
Comments: One of the best kept secrets in bassfishing. Love swimming this jig thru grass and shallow cover. Fish have never seen a jig with this action and fall rate, neither had I til I tried them.
From: Bryant: Clewiston, Fla.
Comments: These jigs are awesome. The extra slow fall rate is perfect for pitching to docks when the fish are suspended underneath the tops of them. It also works great for burning across grass and dropping down into the holes! It has the fall rate of a Senko and the hooks are super stout. CLU makes some of the best products out there and I'm glad TW started picking their stuff up! Hopefully they pick up some more of the CLU products as well!!!
From: Chris: Raeford, NC
Comments: If you havent used these as yet, now is a great opportunity to try out the Zero Jigs! I was fortunate to have tested these when they 1st came out and I still use them today. CLU has made an incredable invention here and it is worth utilizing!
From: Bob: Santa Maria, CA
Comments: I am so glad that these jigs are finally available @ TW! I have been waiting for a long time to see them on here! I have been using them for about 2 years now, and they are simply amazing! Yes, they take some getting used to, but, seriously these are the BEST jigs I have used in quite some time! Simply put, they catch fish! And most of the time they produce good sized bass! Not only do these slow fall jigs work, but they are fun to use on slower days! The owner of this company is top notch! Glad to see your product finally made it to TW Kelly! Good luck!
From: Shark: Where Blue Angles Fly, MD
Comments: This is a great shallow water jig , purchased some of these last year and had good luck on them , the only complaint is the weed guard is terrible , the guard it self is to close to the hook and to soft.
From: Michael: VA

Each November, my husband insists he wants nothing for his birthday—no party, no presents, no balloons or noisemakers or special sparkly hats. He will permit cake, but only if it's eaten in secret, and only if it's carrot.
So that I could eat it, too, I set out to find a vegan recipe that would work gluten-free. People seem to love the Ginger Macadamia Coconut Carrot Cake from Vegan with a Vengeance, so I made a few tweaks to the recipe (more warm and cozy, less Caribbean), and used a mix of gluten-free flours, flax seed, and xanthan gum. I worried when the pudding-thick batter clung to itself in the middle of the cake pans. I became alarmed when the batter never gained loft and browned after only 30 minutes. I was prepared to pull out my back-up all-purpose flour and start again on a cake at least one of us would be able to eat.As the layers cooled, a few pokes indicated they were in fact fluffy in the middle. I decided to frost them. I was excited to find non-hydrogenated Tofutti cream cheese at my natural foods store, but it didn't hold up well in frosting. No matter how much powdered sugar I added, the whole concoction was gloopy. I threw on shredded coconut and some walnuts to disguise its resemblance to Elmer's glue.
We ate the cake, and it wasn't bad. A little dense, but I'd make it again with some vinegar and baking soda. It wasn't the ostentatious, gleaming white display of frosting ruffles and marzipan carrots I'd imagined but it tasted good, and believe me, I've made uglier birthday cakes.
Four years ago there was this lop-sided spice cake with
melted wax vanilla frosting. Our oven wasn't level, so the layers were like wedges. I couldn't be bothered to to frost the sides, or to wait for the cake to cool before assembling it. I'm just not a details person.
Even better is the chocolate cake I made my husband in the kitchen of our dorm when we were first dating. It says "Happy BDAY." Squeezing frosting through the cut-off corner of a ziploc bag did not allow for the elegant script I'd envisioned.
Next year, my husband says he wants something non-traditional, like grilled birthday pineapple. I can definitely make that look good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hawaiian Mama from Great socks at last! Was thrilled to find that you could supply me with great socks for my diabetic feet. Never could find socks that made my feet happy. I finally found them. Thank you so much. I have always been satisfied with any merchandise that I have purchased from your store.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Byron from Nice try In the pictures, these socks resemble some I received as a gift several years ago. I've been trying to duplicate those (which were wonderful----still are, in fact) ever since, and thought at last I'd found them. I figured at least I'd be able to use these, even if they weren't entirely satisfactory. Well, I was right that I can use them but wrong about whether they were the long-sought socks. Because some of my other tries (elsewhere) resulted in quite a collection of similar "not the best but useable anyway" socks, the drawer is now quite full. I'll wear them all, but continue to seek what may no longer be in production anywhere. As for these socks, the top is short and the foot is long. But the main thing is, they don't have seams to irritate my toes, so I can wear them and I do. Life could be worse.
Date published: 2014-01-30
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary O from Perfect These socks are just as advertised. No problem with toe seams and they do not bother the leg with to tight elastic.
Date published: 2013-06-14
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pauline from Just What I Needed These socks are very soft and great for my sensitive feet. They also don't bind me which has been a problem with other socks.

Sen. Rand Paul has proved once again that he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Paul has sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid asking a question about the Tsarnaev brothers, the suspected bombers in the Boston Marathon case:
Why did the current system allow two individuals to immigrate to the United States from the Chechen Republic in Russia, an area known as a hotbed of Islamic extremism, who then committed acts of terrorism?

"I cannot express just how much I love this shoe! I got it at an outstanding price. For anyone curious, it is still on clearance. Check it out! It can literally be worn just about anywhere. The first time I wore it was to an engagment party. It can easily be dressed up or down. The second time was on vacation in Vegas. I could not believe how incredibly comfortable it was to walk around in. I'm used to wearing heels and have grown accustomed to the pain they can inflict when standing for long periods of time. I had no problem wearing these for a few hours on Fremont Street, though. Cute with jeans or a dress. Can be worn to work or out on the town."

Love these!
"Very cute - very comfy. Easy to walk in - wore them all day at work no problem. My only complaint is that my toes do try to peek off the edge in front - if you have wide feet esp toes that may be an issue. Also the fabric isn't matched at all on the topsoles so when I look down it is a little distracting because it is such a vibrant pattern. Oh so cute with jeans and an orange top! I saw these at the beginning of the season so it is awesome that i got them on sale in Sept -live in Florida so can rock sandals all year long!"

Edinburgh return to RaboDirect PRO12 action against champions Ospreys at Murrayfield on Friday, desperate to revive their campaign.
Edinburgh return to RaboDirect PRO12 action against champions Ospreys at Murrayfield on Friday, desperate to revive their campaign.
The Scotland outfit can count six changes to the side that lost to unbeaten Pro12 leaders Ulster before the break in the domestic timetable, and target a revitalised return to the league campaign.
The club's only win over Welsh opposition this season was the 21-19 reverse over Cardiff Blues in September, and they will face a much sterner assessment from an Ospreys side enjoying a five-match winning streak in the tournament.
The Welshmen are fifth on points' difference alone, with a win capable of lifting them into a top four play-off place for the first time this season.
"We return for the first match in the 'second phase' of the season and look to get moving against a formidable opponent in the shape of the PRO12 champions," said Edinburgh head coach Michael Bradley.
"They come here full of confidence having won five on the bounce in the league and will be keen to maintain their run and underline their championship credentials.
"Both matches last season were close affairs; at Liberty Stadium they cleared their lines and ran the full length to score in the last minute and here, at Murrayfield, they edged us by a single point, thanks to the converted try-of-the-season from [Hanno] Dirksen.
"What is frustrating is that in the league this season we have been a score a-drift on four occasions, a narrow gap which we must crack tomorrow night.
"This match is hugely important to our season. It's up to us to put a marker down and start this phase of the season on the front foot."
The home side's changes are evenly split between the forwards and backs.
Hooker Ross Ford returns from Scotland duty to start in place of the injured Andy Titterrell (hamstring) and packs down between props John Yapp and Willem Nel.
Izak van der Westhuizen and Perry Parker form a new look second-row, while the back-row of Sean Cox, Roddy Grant and Stuart McInally remains unchanged.
Sep Visser (wing) and Dougie Fife (outside-centre) replace the injured Lee Jones and John Houston, who moves to the bench, with James King (inside-centre) earning reselection after an impressive return against Ulster.
Scrum-half Richie Rees trades places with Chris Leck to line-up next to stand-off Gregor Hunter, while Greig Tonks and Tom Brown keep their places in the back three.
Meanwhile, Andrew Bishop will set a new appearance record for the Ospreys when he lines up in the centres.
Bishop, whose debut came against the Borders in 2005, will be making his 181st appearance for the region, moving ahead of Paul James at the top of the list.
At the other end of the spectrum, Owen Williams makes his RaboDirect PRO12 debut – with Nicky Thomas set for his first domestic appearance if he comes off the bench.
Form: Edinburgh have lost their last seven encounters in all competitions since overcoming Zebre 41-10 at Murrayfield in the RaboDirect PRO12 on 14 September. Edinburgh's only win over a Welsh region in their last four such fixtures was 21-19 over Cardiff Blues at the Arms Park on 7 September. Ospreys, the reigning RaboDirect PRO12 champions, have got their defence back on track courtesy of five successive victories in the tournament. Ospreys have won just one of their last four matches against Scottish opponents. Ospreys achieved the season's double over Edinburgh in 2011/12, claiming a win at Murrayfield for the first time since 2007 in the process.
The teams:
Edinburgh: 15 Greig Tonks, 14 Sep Visser, 13 Dougie Fife, 12 James King, 11 Tom Brown, 10 Gregor Hunter, 9 Richie Rees, 8 Stuart McInally, 7 Roddy Grant, 6 Sean Cox (c), 5 Izak van der Westhuizen, 4 Perry Parker, 3 Willem Nel, 2 Ross Ford, 1 John Yapp
Replacements: 16 Alun Walker, 17 Allan Jacobsen, 18 Lewis Niven, 19 Robert McAlpine, 20 Hamish Watson, 21 Chris Leck, 22 John Houston, 23 Mike Penn.
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell 14 Tom Isaacs, 13 Andrew Bishop, 12 Jonathan Spratt, 11 Eli Walker, 10 Matthew Morgan, 9 Rhys Webb, 8 Joe Bearman (c), 7 Sam Lewis, 6 George Stowers, 5 James King, 4 Lloyd Peers, 3 Owen Williams, 2 Scott Baldwin, 1 Ryan Bevington.
Replacements: 16 Duncan Jones, 17 Matthew Dwyer, 18 Nicky Thomas, 19 Ian Gough, 20 Morgan Allen, 21 Tom Habberfield, 22 Matthew Morgan, 23 Ross Jones.

Beautiful taste. The seeds are sweet and crunchy. For my taste it was too much dried fruit in it. However it worked out nicely when i took most of the fruits out and left them for other purposes.
Sweet and delicious

Perfect for my breakfast, with oat milk.

WAY too many raisins
Posted by zoeblessing on Jan 31, 2012
There are so many raisins in this cereal, it's all I can taste! And because they get so hard in cold milk, I end up sitting here chewing like a cow. I paid 8.50 for cereal, not a bag of raisins. I do like the coconut, but I don't detect the vanilla that's supposed to be in there. They should call it coconut raisin crunch.
Excellent service!!!

Like this a lot!

I really liked this cereal! I did add a couple drops of liquid stevia to the rice milk in my bowl and then it was perfect. I have found that coconut really isn't my favorite, so I'll be looking to see if this brand makes a cereal without the coconut. But I still really enjoyed this.

Love this cereal! No nasty additives & tastes delicious :)
Love Lydia's please dont stop seiling this

Use Twist Biodegradable European Sponge for everything from spills to regular kitchen cleanup, and help people realize the vision of a clean world. Twist Biodegradable European Sponge cleans, wipes, and dries. Twist Biodegradable European Sponge is for all household uses and outlasts 17 rolls of paper towels. Paper towels have a lifespan of approximately one use. Yep, they're one and done. Then it's in the trash, on the curb and off to a landfill somewhere. Wouldn't it be better if a paper towel could be reusable and still biodegradable? Designed to work over and over instead of once? Heck, how about 1,000 times instead of once? Well it can, if you make it out of sponge. A Clean WorldWhen it comes to meals, some people love the cooking part. And lots of people love the eating part. But it seems like nobody loves the cleaning part. Twist was the same way. It bugged them. Why don't they love cleaning? Turned out, it was a lot of things. They didn't like the tools. They didn't like the way they felt. They didn't like the way they looked sitting on the counter. They didn't like what they were made of. So Twist decided to make some little changes. Nothing big. Just little things. Pretty soon they were getting a good feeling when they were doing the dishes too. And a new company was born. Twist believes in a clean world. And that means more than sparkling countertops. It means paying attention to what goes into their products (and what happens to them when they're tossed away). Please clean kindly.

Cleveland Town Council met in their regularly scheduled meeting on June 13. Mayor Jeff Horrocks, council members Freda Fillmore and Karen Nielsen as well as Jamie Jensen, town recorder and treasurer.
The council donated $250 to the 4-H riding club in return for their willingness to complete a service project for the town. The council donated $150 to an eagle scout project which will be built by scouts, Jacob Powell and Bryant McMullin. They will be constructing a bus stop shelter at 9th West and Cottonwood Drive.
The Cleveland Youth Council has plans to construct a BMK/skate park in Cleveland. The property for the park is being donated. The youth council is taking a letter around to local businesses for pledges of support for the project. The plans have been written and the insurance coverage has all been approved. The sponsors will have their business advertised in a Cleveland Town flyer. Also banners and a plaque with sponsor names will be located at the park. The youth council is working towards this goal and needs the support of local business to create this recreational opportunity for the youth.
The Cleveland Town budget for the year 2002 was amended to show changes in the amount used for curb and gutter; also the amount of the Olympic refund was added on. Funds received from the community impact board for park improvements in the amount of $8,750 was added on.
Mayor Horrocks explained some of the improvements to the park which have been accomplished so far. The asphalt for the parking lot has been finished and the concession building is up. Right now they are discussing what type of trees to plant at the park. They want fast growing trees which will provide shade. It has been recommended that fruitless Mulberry trees be planted because they grow fast. It was also mentioned that they would not plant the grass at the new park this year, due to the drought.
The next item of business was to approve the county tax rate. Cleveland Town did not increase their portion of the taxes and it remains the same as last year. Jensen said the town will donate their portion of the liquor fund to the school for their drug and alcohol prevention month. Cleveland Town approved their budget for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2003 with expected revenues and expenditures of $326,685.
Mayor Horrocks reminded Cleveland residents to stick to their watering schedules and when the irrigation water runs out not to use the culinary water for any outside watering. He encouraged residents to conserve water as much as possible.
Fillmore said she has been preparing the town history and pictures for the kiosk which will be placed in the park highlighting Cleveland Town. The kiosk will be installed in October.
Mayor Horrocks said they have been receiving complaints from people in regards to barking dogs in Cleveland. A letter will be prepared to send to residents encouraging them to be more neighborly in regards to barking dogs. It was also determined that the council would discuss a small cost of living increase for city employees.
Council members will be required to complete evaluation forms as part of their participation in the centennial town program. The council also discussed the upcoming Cleveland Days celebration.
The meeting was adjourned and the next Cleveland Town meeting will be on July 11 at 7 p.m.

Skip to comments.The Latest Challenge to the Bible's Accuracy: Abraham's Anachronistic Camels?
Posted on 02/16/2014 3:48:28 PM PST by daniel1212
Two researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) studied the bones of camels found in an area of ancient copper mines in the Aravah Valley, south of the Dead Sea. Using radiocarbon dating and other techniques, they determined that camels were first used in the mining operations near the end of the 10th century BC.
They state that this is the first evidence of domesticated camels in ancient Israel.
This would be almost 1,000 years later than the time of the patriarchs, when camels first appear in the Bible.
Their study was quickly used to claim that the Bible was written or edited long after the events it describes.
But evangelical scholars say the claims are overblown...
He also believes the TAU researchers not only ignored evidence from outside Israel, they also assumed too much about their own research. "All they really tell us is that at that particular place where they were working they found some camel bones that they interpreted as in a domesticated context between the ninth and 11th centuries BC," Kennedy said. "It doesn't tell us that camels couldn't have been used in other nearby areas earlier than that."
(Excerpt) Read more at christianitytoday.com ...
For the late second millennium we have the following: From Egypt, south of Memphis, the figure of a kneeling camel loaded with two jars (hence, domesticated) from a tomb of the later thirteenth century; from northwest Arabia, on painted pottery from Qurraya (so-called Midianite ware), the broken figure of a camel, of thirteenth/early twelfth century; and a camel on an early thirteenth century sherd from Pi-Ramesse.
There are other traces of camels much earlier, e.g., in Egypt and Arabia in the third millennium, and also in our overall period. But the examples just given should suffice to indicate the true situation: the camel was for long a marginal beast in most of the historic ancient Near East (including Egypt), but it was not wholly unknown or anachronistic before or during 2000-1100. And there the matter should, on the tangible evidence, rest.
From Wikipedia: Dromedaries may have first been domesticated by humans in Somalia and southern Arabia, around 3,000 BC, the Bactrian in central Asia around 2,500 BC,[14][62][63][64] as at Shar-i Sokhta (also known as the Burnt City), Iran.[65]
In accord with patriarchal traditions, cylinder seals from Middle Bronze Age Mesopotamia showed riders seated upon camels.[66][67]
Of course, these camels have engraved onto their bones "First ever domesticated camels".
Is this Pilate and the Hittites all over again? You'd have thought these idiots had learned their lesson.
Back to school, boys.
Yeah but those TAU dudes are so cool, they use BCE and CE and all that of kind cool new modern progressive stuff.
Where does the Bible say Abraham came from? When does the Bible imply he came from there?
These are the oldest camel bones our science team, with our limited resources and scope, have found. They must therefore be the first camels in Israel.
How does this theory not get them laughed out of the room.
In the 30th century, archeologists will uncover a copy of Superman #1 dated 1000 years old and thus debunk claims of the existence of a man called Guttenberg.
The internet. Pre-internet, they actually had to work their way up through a vetting/review process before any notoriety could be given. Now, just post it on the web.
Well, they had to get a new drummer, but most of the original band will be back together for their first revival tour since they broke up, the same year they had their swing hit "Bethsaida Boogie Woogie." www.pilateandthehittites.com
Are you asking or arguing?
Chaldees = kaśdı̂y kaśdı̂ymâh (Occasionally shown as the second form with enclitic; meaning towards the Kasdites); patronymic from H3777 (only in the plural); a Kasdite, or descendant of Kesed; by implication a Chaldaean (as if so descended); also an astrologer (as if proverbial of that people): - into Chaldea, patronymicallyn. from H3777 (only in the plural); a Kasdite; or descendant of Kesed; by implication a Chaldan (as if so descended); also an astrologer (as if proverbial of that people):
Not only is there much debate in interpreting Ur Kaśdim as Abraham's birthplace, but also identifying this location.
n 1927 Leonard Woolley identified Ur Kaśdim with the Sumerian city of Ur, in southern Mesopotamia, where the Chaldeans had settled around the 9th century BCE;[1] Ur lay on the boundary of the region called Kaldu (Chaldea, corresponding to Hebrew Kaśdim) in the first millennium BCE. It was the sacred city of the moon god and the name "Camarina" is thought to be related to the Arabic word for moon qamar. The identification with Ur Kaśdim accords with the view that Abraham's ancestors may have been moon-worshippers, an idea based on the possibility that the name of Abraham's father Terah is related to the Hebrew root for moon (y-r-h). - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur_of_the_Chaldees
Abraham was from the city of Ur according to Genesis 11:31. The problem is that there are several places called Ur. It is identified as "Ur of the Chaldeans." The problem with "Chaldeans" is that it is a late word used in the Neo-Babylonian times...
There is no debate over where Haran is located, 10 miles north of the Syrian border in Turkey along the Balikh River, a tributary of the Euphrates River. Haran is an important Hurrian center, mentioned in the Nuzi tablets. The moon god, Sin was worshiped here. If Ur were located in Southern Iraq, why would Abraham travel 60 miles way out of his way to go to Haran?
There are two cities not far from Haran; Ura and Urfa. Local tradition says that Abraham was born in Urfa. Northern Ur is mentioned in tablets at Ugarit, Nuzi, and Ebla, which refers to Ur, URA, and Urau (See BAR January 2000, page 16).
The names of several of Abraham's relatives like Peleg, Serug, Nahor and Terah, appear as names of cities in the region of Haran (Harper's Bible Dictionary, page 373). Abraham sent his servant back to the region of Haran to find a wife for Isaac (Genesis 24:10).
After working for Laban, Jacob fled across the Euphrates River back to Canaan (Genesis 31:21). If Ur were in Southern Mesopotamia, then Jacob would not need to cross the Euphrates. Laban is said to live in Paddan-Aram, which is in the region of Haran (Genesis 28:5-7), which seems to be the same area as Aram-Naharaim, Abraham's homeland (Genesis 24:10).
All this evidence taken together seems to indicate that the Ur of Abraham was in the same region as Haran in Northern Mesopotamia, and not the famous Ur in Southern Mesopotamia. - https://www.bibleandscience.com/bible/books/genesis/ur.htm
Josephus and Rabbi Maimonides believed that Ur Kasdim was in Northern Mesopotamia, in what is today Syria or Turkey.
There is no debate over where Haran is located, 10 miles north of the Syrian border in Turkey along the Balikh River, a tributary of the Euphrates River. Haran is an important Hurrian center, mentioned in the Nuzi tablets. The moon god, Sin was worshiped here.
There are two cities not far from Haran; Ura and Urfa. Local tradition says that Abraham was born in Urfa. Northern Ur is mentioned in tablets at Ugarit, Nuzi, and Ebla, which refers to Ur, URA, and Urau (See BAR January 2000, page 16).

Gen 24:4 You must go back to the country where I was born (nativity) and get a wife for my son Isaac from among my relatives."
Gen 24:10 The servant, who was in charge of Abraham's property, took ten of his master's camels and went to the city where Nahor had lived in northern Mesopotamia (Aram Naharaim) . (GNB)

Unlike the Akkadian speaking Assyrians and Babylonians, the Chaldeans were certainly not a native Mesopotamian people, but were migrants to the region. They seem to have appeared there c. 1000 BC, not long after other new Semitic peoples, the Arameans and the Sutu appeared in Babylonia, c. 1100 BC. This was a period of weakness in Babylonia, and its ineffectual native kings were unable to prevent new waves of foreign peoples invading and settling in the land.[4]
Though belonging to the same West Semitic ethnic group, they are to be differentiated from the Arameans; and the Assyrian king Sennacherib, for example, is careful in his inscriptions to distinguish them.
When they came to possess the whole of southern Mesopotamia, the name "Chaldean" became synonymous with "Babylonian" for a short time, particularly to the Greeks and Jews, despite the Chaldeans not being Babylonians.
the traditional identification with a site in Assyria [Centered on the Upper Tigris river, in northern Mesopotamia(Iraq)], would then imply the later sense of "Babylonia", and a few interpreters have additionally tried to identify Abraham's birthplace with Chaldia [[ northeast Anatolia (modern Turkey)], a distinct region in Asia Minor on the Black Sea. According to the Book of Jubilees, Ur Kaśdim (and Chaldea) took their name from Ura and Kesed, descendants of Arpachshad. Though conquerors, the Chaldeans were rapidly and completely assimilated into the dominant Semitic Akkadian Babylonian culture, as the Amorites, Kassites and Arameans before them had been, and after the fall of Babylon in 539 BC the term "Chaldean" was no longer used to describe a specific ethnicity, but rather a socio-economic class. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaldea
Or Bethlehem.
I'm pointing out the foolishness of the revisionists.
Naw! Every generation you get a brand new crop of idiots!
Because the rest of the idiots in the room also hate God and the Scriptures.
I wish we had like buttons u would get one from me
The Bible also says he went to Egypt, so it seems logical he could also have brought camels back from there.

They seem to have appeared there c. 1000 BC, not long after other new Semitic peoples, the Arameans and the Sutu appeared in Babylonia, c. 1100 BC. This was a period of weakness in Babylonia, and its ineffectual native kings were unable to prevent new waves of foreign peoples invading and settling in the land.[4]
Sunday school this morning read through Genesis 20, the "table of nations" descended from the sons of Noah. I noticed something that I'd never noticed before. The cities that would later be prominent as Assyria and Babylon, are Hamitic, not Semitic. Aram, on the other hand, is Semitic, and northward of Caanan.
Now checking Genesis, it specifically says Pharaoh gave Abraham camels. (Gen. 12:16)
Indeed. Meanwhile if this "find" placed any doubt on Global Warming then it would be castigated, variegated, obliterated, and marginalated (new word) and the research money threatened.
Thought provoking post, daniel. Your map, however, for someone who only knows English, is not very helpful. Where on your map are all these cities mentioned, Haran, Ura, Urfa, Ur Kasdim, and the names of cities "corresponding to Abraham's relatives: Peleg, Serug, Nahor, and Terah?" All of which are supposed to be nearby to Haran.
Thanks, Daniel, I notice a place name, "Urkish," not far from Harran on your map. Maybe traceable back to Abraham's Ur? If so, it doesn't look like he made that big of a trip from Urkish to Harran.
And CT adds,
Archaeologists usually remember that "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." The absence of evidence for Hittites once fueled some 19th-century debates over the Bibleuntil the vast Hittite empire was discovered in Anatolia. Questions about the Book of Daniel once focused on the absence of the prominently featured Belshazzar from Babylonian king listsuntil it was discovered that Belshazzar was actually the son of Nabonidus, and co-regent. - http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2014/february-web-only/latest-challenge-bible-accuracy-abraham-anachronistic-camel.html?paging=off
The name Hittites was in fact taken from the Bible when the so-called 'Forgotten Empire' was discovered. There was a 19th c school of so-called thought that went so far as to say that the existence of Abraham had been disproven for all time, which is of course a profoundly anti-scholarly view. The search for Nineveh and other Assyrian cities mentioned in the Bible led to their discovery, and also turned up a large library of cuneiform tablets, remains of the much earlier Sumerians and an avalanche of other information that isn't in the OT.
Now about those missing ballots..
I see in the Jewish Encyclopedia that the city of Haran is believed by some to have been the first city built following the flood... would either of you know a source for this belief - who believes such a thing?
I am working on a page for my Bible Mysteries web site - which I have woefully neglected for some time due to health problems and other such frustrations -- a page on the mystery of Haran and why it became such a hub for the Terah/Abrahamic clan. Perhaps it is not a mystery that can be cracked in depth... but it is worth looking into.
That is not something i can answer right now.
The Chaldia thing or the Haran thingy . . . or both?
Thanks at any rate for the response.
Both. You might try emailing http://www.tektonics.org/ or http://www.christian-thinktank.com/

Lancaster Coalition for Healthy Youth wrapped up its three-day conference on the Prevention of Youth Substance Abuse in Rural Communities on Wednesday night by taking the message straight to their target audience — teens.
The guest speaker for Teen Night, one of four keynote speakers during the conference, was youth motivational speaker, stand-up comedian, author and clinical neuropsychologist Matt Bellace.
Officials with Lancaster County's Coalition for Healthy Youth said this year's fourth Prevention of Youth Substance Abuse in Rural Communities conference was another success.
The three-day event, held March 7-10 at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster's Bradley building, drew about 150 drug-prevention specialists, counselors, ministers, school personnel, nonprofit administrators and others from as far away as Washington state.
The conference was funded, in part, by a $20,000 city of Lancaster hospitality tax grant.
Meet Adam Bailey, 13, a seventh-grade student at A.R. Rucker Middle School in Lancaster.
Easy going, with a wide, braces-filled smile, Bailey is tall for his age and slim, a runner on the Lancaster High School cross country team whose favorite class is math.
In his off-time, Baily is a Boy Scout in Troop 72, active in Second Baptist Youth, and like most teenagers, enjoys music. Favorite bands? The Strokes and, believe it or not, The Beatles.
And, oh yeah, he's also a great speller.
Do you have a rising Renoir creating masterpieces at home? Potential Picasso? Mini Matisse? Budding young artists can participate in the Del Webb Library at Indian Land's "Art Studio at the Library," a month-long event in March allowing children the chance to create their own artwork.
University of South Carolina at Lancaster's TRiO program honored Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Thursday with a celebration of his message of service to the community.
The theme for the event, attended by about 40 students and faculty members, was Plan+Serve=Impact.
TRiO Career/Cultural Specialist Matt Williamson said the celebration was an attempt to connect younger students with the civil rights movement.
While much attention has been focused on school closures due to the snow and ice event that gripped Lancaster County last week, one group of people was affected even more than students – their parents.
Faced with the loss of their daily de facto day care, many parents suddenly found themselves scrambling to make arrangements for what they were going to do with their children during the day while they were at work.
For many, like the self-employed photographer Amy Sapp of Frankly, Daisy Photography, it was a tough week.
Sometimes you find the most pleasing surprises in the most unexpected places.
Take, for example, the Art Attack Gift Shop at Lancaster High School.
Tucked between two art classes near the end of a hallway, the shop is located in a former storage room.
Though small, the room is stuffed with an amazing range artwork.
Lancaster District AME Zion Churches
INDIAN LAND – Fifteen teens participated in the Lancaster District AMEZ Churches' sixth annual Oratorical Exposé on Sept. 23.
The purpose of the speaking contest was to emphasize youth development in speaking publicly and to do research to improve personal skills.
He's faced with no running water, fortress-like walls and dark windows that block the sunshine.
He's a prisoner who feels all of life's joys and opportunities have been stripped away, yet he manages to stay positive. Through adversity, he finds himself and even discovers subtle joys amidst the pain.
This is the scenario in "Who Understands Me But Me," a Jimmy Santiago Baca poem recited by a Lancaster County high school student at Bundy Auditorium at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster.
INDIAN LAND – When Indian Land High School Principal Kathy Faris went looking for a program to help take her school to the next level academically, she settled on a collective theme.
Faris wanted an overarching theme that would tie together the school's diverse curriculum across all disciplines and grade levels, and give students a deeper understanding of what they were learning.
There was a whole world of ideas out there – and, ultimately, it was literally the world that the school settled on.

In the crook of the foothills of the Cumberland Plateau, up in northwest Alabama, the land rolls out like a quilt unfurled, a patchwork of farms and small towns pieced together with barbed wire and kudzu. Here, the cities of Florence and Muscle Shoals flank opposite sides of the Tennessee River just before it jackknifes back up into the state from whence it came. Roots run deep here, where families are neighbors and neighbors often seem like family. It's like so many other rural pockets of the south—except this one also happened to produce some of the most important American music of the past 50 years.
In the decades following the 1959 founding of FAME Studios in Florence and, later, the formation of the Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, the area drew in some of the biggest names in early rock, soul, and country music, among them Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, and The Rolling Stones. These acts all found a musical home in the shoals, but they mostly hailed from elsewhere; the town and its studio space were more traveler's rest than homestead—until now.
A bumper crop of talent has recently emerged from those wide rolling hills. The new generation of the Muscle Shoals sound includes everything from retro revivalists to backwoods-gothic rockers, but they all share a deep-rooted connection to the corner of the south they call home.
The Secret Sisters
Just outside Florence stands the little house that Laura and Lydia Rogers' maternal grandparents built as newlyweds, home to family gatherings that fostered some of their earliest musical memories. "We would eat there every Saturday and sing gospel songs around the holidays," Lydia says. "Our grandfather was always playing his mandolin and singing old songs."
These days, the sisters perform sweet, shuffling old-time country as The Secret Sisters, their sound an homage to some gauzy, gingham-checked past. Appearing onstage in crinoline-lifted dresses and bright red lipstick, the sisters seem plucked straight out of the 1950s. Their music is like a time capsule, which seems appropriate: Life in their "itty-bitty sweet hometown" can resemble one too.
Downtown Florence looks much as it has for a half-century or more, with the grand marquee of the Shoals Community Theatre lighting up the corner of North Seminary and Mobile Streets and the old brick storefronts housing local favorites such as Ricatoni's Italian Grill (home of "the best bread and herbs you'll ever put in your mouth," Laura declares).
Their grandparents' house was sold after their grandfather died a few years ago, but when it went back on the market Laura jumped at the chance to bring it back into the fold. She now maintains the family homestead with her two cats and dog; Lydia's apartment in Florence is just a few miles away.
It can be hard to leave this close-knit world and hit the road. In April 2011, when a series of tornadoes devastated North Alabama, The Secret Sisters were on tour in Australia. Their families were untouched, but Laura and Lydia felt heartbroken and helpless, so they coped the best way they knew: they wrote a song. "Tomorrow Will Be Kinder" is a gently sorrowful, hymn-like elegy, and it found an unexpected second life on the movie soundtrack for the first installment of the wildly popular Hunger Games series. And the Rogers sisters weren't the only Alabamians on the roster.

Ima Bill Lowen Square Bill Crankbait
The Ima Bill Lowen Square Bill Crankbait is truly Bassmaster Elite pro, Bill Lowen's baby - a tool he's dreamed about for decades finally come to life. After countless back and forth conversations with IMA's engineers in Japan, and multiple refinements and prototypes, he's convinced that no other square bill can match his Square Bill. It has a stubby, rounded body that produces an earth-shaking wobble, bold eyes, a lexan lip, and two sticky-sharp #6 Owner hooks that'll nab even the short strikes, although most bass absolutely choke this bait down.
On a straight medium retrieve, it wobbles and will want to hunt, meaning it tracks left or right and works itself back to the center - triggering bites. It runs a bit shallower than some other crankbaits of its class, diving three feet on 12lb line and two feet on 15lb test. If you want to burn it over grass or in the shallowest water possible, upsize to 20 and it'll still maintain its hunting action. Waking it on top or twitching it like a jerkbait are also effective methods.
"The beauty of the Ima Square Bill is it's really three or four baits in one. While some other square bills are good burned, other are at their best when they're waked or twitched. Some do well deflecting off cover, while others are the best in open water. The Ima Square Bill can match each attribute and talent with no weakness. My favorite is to mix it ALL up on a single retrieve, going from twitching to waking, to reeling it down to three feet to burning it. It's not just a jack-of-all-trades - it's a master of each one, too." - Bill Lowen, Bassmaster Elite Series pro and Ima Lures prostaffer.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Great bait but hooks are very cheap. I have broken the hooks on every one I have bought. With that being said I change the hooks out and flat out catch'em on this bait.
From: Jimmy: Bossier City, LA
Comments: When they are shallow I like hammering them with this bait. Great finish and owner hooks are super sticky sharp. Gotta love the black and yellow color for stained water.
From: David: Hiram, Georgia
Comments: This is a great lure, it has unique action which trigger the bite, excelent bait for Pressure fish also like the design. Some reason this thing catch fish when nothing else work. If u fish in shallow lake or flats u gotta try this lure, once u try it u will never put it down.
From: Fishkiller01: NYC, NY
Comments: Finally had a chance to fish these, out fished my friend with kvd square bill; fish do choke them down. Hooks are sticky sharp, however using standard needle nose pliers I snipped two trebles trying to unhook a fish.
Comments: nice little bait...hooks are kinda cheap though - even if they are owners...received a couple with bent out trebles and chipped black chrome plating. no biggie though...hooks are usually swapped out on most of my lures anyway. other than the cheaper quality hooks, these baits are great. get some...you won't be disappointed!
From: Cheng: MN
Comments: Awesome bait! Flat out fish catcher around cover or open water.Few hangups. Rolls right over logs.
From: Danny: Milan, TN
Comments: I used to eat, sleep, breath bandit crankbaits until I purchased a few of these. Just got back from a fall trip to Lake Eufaula and I out fished my partner 10-1. He was throwing multiple baits and I was only using the Bill Lowen. Hands down the Bill Lowen Square Bill crankbait out performed everything he pulled out. Ran true right out of the pack and the hooks are excellent. I hope they make a 8-12 ft diver in this model soon. Great job Ima!!
From: CMFT: Indianapolis, IN
Comments: a little spendy but if you really dig shallow crankin' this bait is ideal! it is extremely versatile...
From: Max: HB, CA
Comments: This bait runs great and is perfect when the fish are feeding in skinny water. You can make this bait dive about 2 1/2 ft with your rod tip down or you can hold it up and wake it. Great search bait on shallow flats. My favorite colors are the Barred Black Chart. and Splatter Sour Candy. A+
From: Trey: Athens, AL
Comments: Not worth the money. Like that it can be fished very shallow, but can not get the bait to run straight on a medium or fast retrieve. Only runs straight when reeled very slow. I tried to tune it for an hour in a swimming pool and it just will not run straight unless reeled slower than i have the patience for.
From: Chris: AL
Comments: Ordered these when they first came out on TW and I'll say...Went down south for a fishing trip and bass LOVE the old yeller and Black back Chart. Action is awesome!! BTW Bud from NY, no need to swtich out trebles because they are owner. I would switch out the split rings at most.
From: Damian: MN
Comments: Got a bunch of these baits in a couple of days ago prepping up for the northern thaw and pre-sprawn up here in NY, ordered them with a bunch of other similar cranks... OSP's, Blings, IMA Shakers and 1.5's and noticed that the paintjob and craft on these Lowen cranks are superior, consistent paint dispersal and a great silhouette. I only have prestine things to say about the guys over at IMA and Optimum Baits... only thing I would recommend is switching out the trebles for an upgrade, they seem to bend and weaken at a higher frequency then other factory cranks.
From: Bud: West Islip, NY
Comments: I threw this bait today and caught 35 bass up to 5 lbs! This is a great bait! I have it all on video at The Bass College site.
From: Steve: Lewes, DE

Tell us who is your favorite coach and why.
Frank Carroll is my favorite coach. He was a student of Mirabel Vincent-Owen and has passed on her skating philosphy to many skaters over the years. He "created" Michelle and is now Mirai's coach. I expect great things from Mirai and think she is fortunate to have Frank as her coach.
I second Janetfan. He certainly seem to be a good at helping skaters find their style and consistency, although he's no magician (Bebe Liang.) People say he is known for making his skaters do full run throughs all the time. Is this true? I'm always confused by this. Why WOULDN'T a skater do a full run through?
Seems like some notable names are missing from this list. Galina. Brian Orser. Richard Callaghan. The Scotvolds. (or are they retired?)
Last edited by Phoenix347; 10-07-2010 at 08:31 PM.
Well, there's always the someone else option
One of those polls I can't choose a single option for...so I won't vote.
I really like Frank Carroll, Alexei Mishin, and Tatiana Tarasova. And of course, Brian Orser.
Yes, there are so many great coaches out there, known and unknown. Hard to choose one favorite. And I am sure it's individual which coach suits a certain skater. Some skaters change often and some stay true to one their whole career. Lucky the ones who find the right coach in early days.
Anyway, my vote goes to John Nicks. I am always happy to see him in the K&C. Especiallly when he sits beside Sasha Cohen. He seems so friendly and nice.
John Nicks moved from Great Britain to California to help rebuild US skating, following the plane crash in 1961, when US lost the entire team and many top coaches. Since then I think he has been coaching mostly US skaters. I know I saw Mr Nicks in K&C at last worlds, but I don't remember who his pupil was.
Fassi also worked for a time with Scott Hamilton, Paul Wylie and also coached Julie Lynn Holmes and Emi Watanabe, the first Japanese skater to ever win a medal at Worlds.
Like John Nicks, he came to America after the '61 air tragedy to help rebuild US Skating.
If resumes count, Fassi's is second to none.
ETA: I am sure I left out some very good skaters Carlo coached.
Here is one - Caryn Kadavy - in a medal winning LP from '87 Worlds.
Last edited by janetfan; 10-09-2010 at 09:58 AM.
Carlo Fassi was obviously a legendary coach. Didn't he coach Nicole Bobek right before he died? I thought the thread was more for current coaches, although I suppose John Nicks is borderline. Is he basically retired?
Bobek broke down and after her LP she fell down in tears on the ice. She finished 13th.
looks like I'm the first to give Don Laws some love. Granted he doesn't have the huge name stable of Frank Carrol, nor does he have the huge number of skaters like some of the others, but he seems to know how ot pick them all the same. Scott Hamilton was one of the legendary Carlso Fossi's "flunkies" and ended up becoming the dominant male skater for four years under Laws careful eye. Too bad Chan couldn't understand how to respect what he had to offer.
From Wiki, here is a list of Nicole's coaches: "Debbie Stoery, Kathy Casey, Hoon Kim, Richard Callaghan, Barbara Roles, Frank Carroll, Robin Cousins, and Mary and Evy Scotvold. She was coached by Callaghan during her period of greatest success in 1995 and by Fassi until his death from a heart attack at the 1997 World championships."

I think you can see the Carlo Fassi influence in her polish and it's a bit more delicate that she sometimes was.
I always liked Robin Wagner, even though she's been out of the picture for a while. She seems so sweet and devoted and both Sarah and Sasha talked about how she was a friend and a second mother to them.
Igor & Marina - the improvement their skaters show year over year is amazing.
Though I have a lot of respect for many of those coaches.

A Simulating Experience
I was at the ribbon cutting for a commercial driving simulator at Lake Land College in Mattoon, Ill., Thursday and had an incredible experience.
Have you ever driven behind someone and wished you were in a rubber car so you could "bump" them? Well "driving" a truck driving simulator fulfills that wish, and scares the socks off you at the same time! Being behind the wheel of a "18-wheeler" is a challenge. And with wintery weather conditions and traffic patterns changing in the blink of an eye, you quickly realize the responsibility is frightening! When you take off the seatbelt and leave the "cab," you can feel the tenseness in your shoulders. Thank goodness it all occurred in a simulated setting! "On the job training," without the simulator, would mean "on the road" training! And that IS a scary thought!
But because of a USDA Rural Development Rural Business Enterprise Grant to Lake Land College, that terrifying prospect is eliminated! The RBEG covered the entire cost of the commercial driver training simulator. It's designed to provide a realistic tractor trailer and commercial vehicle driving experience in preparation for students to receive their CDL (Commercial Driver's License). And the training and certification is completed in a safe, non-threatening environment over a four-week period.
Not only are the students well prepared, the simulator also enhances the development of a workforce for scores of businesses in the area and throughout the Midwest. Area business have even "signed up their current drivers" for refresher courses!
As the regional leader in commercial driver training, Lake Land College has helped hundreds of men and women find employment in the trucking industry. And that means: job stability, bonus plans, health and life insurance, retirement plans, paid vacations and students being hired even before they graduate!
I'm a long way from getting my CDL, but I'm on the short list of new appreciation for those who do!
Colleen Callahan
Illinois State Director, USDA Rural Development

There are many of Ferron and Duck Fork Reservoir anglers out there, who wonder what the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) is doing to those reservoirs. "Why has Ferron Reservoir been held at such a low level?" "Why have the fish in Duck Fork Reservoir been chemically removed?" Justin Hart, DWR Aquatics Biologist provided answers to these and other questions.
Ferron Reservoir: The dam at Ferron Reservoir has been a big problem for years. Despite dam reconstruction and recurrent repair projects, the dam continues to leak. It goes without saying that the presence of a leaky dam high above the rural Utah community of Ferron is a serious safety concern. In the past several years, water levels have been held at a low water level to facilitate repair work and reduce the threat of dam failure.
This summer the DWR plans to remove the dam's riprap and doze the top five feet of the dam over the face to widen the structure and reduce the safety risk. A concrete spillway will be constructed at the same time. To minimize future leaking, a liner will be installed on the inside of the dam, after which the riprap will be replaced.
After completion, the reservoir's water level will be reduced by 10 feet, compared to its previous full pool elevation. The drop in elevation will reduce the surface acreage by 40 percent Despite the change, the reservoir will remain deep enough to overwinter fish and maintain the fishery.
Duck Fork Reservoir: In order to understand why the DWR chemically removed the fish from Duck Fork Reservoir, a little background information is needed.
The Colorado River cutthroat trout, the only true native trout that originally occupied lakes and streams within the Colorado River Basin, is the subject of increasing concern. Because of dramatically dwindling populations, this subspecies has been proposed for listing under the Threatened and Endangered Species Act.
Why would that be a problem? If the Colorado River cutthroat trout were listed, DWR's management of the sport fishery within the Colorado River Basin would become secondary to the protection of this trout. Under the Threatened and Endangered Species Act, fishing regulations and hatchery stocking would have to change. This could involve limited or no stocking of hatchery-raised fish. Regulations would have to be structured to prevent anglers from accidentally taking one of these trout. Waters in southeastern Utah, which now have a four trout limit and allow for natural bait, may have to be managed more restrictively with mandatory catch-and-release, artificial fly-only restrictions.
The DWR is doing all it can to prevent that from happening. Fisheries biologists have been aggressively sampling all southeastern Utah waters to locate the few populations remaining. In addition, DWR biologists have been surveying potential sites for possible egg collection and brood fish-rearing.
This is where Duck Fork Reservoir comes in. Habitat conditions seem right at Duck Fork Reservoir, which could be the "ace in the hole" to prevent listing or mitigate against the consequences of listing. Before the reservoir could be used for rearing brood stock and providing nursery habitat, all resident fish had to be removed to prevent the possibility of hybridization and gene pool contamination.
However, that doesn't mean the end of sport fishing at Duck Fork Reservoir. To provide for continued angler use, the DWR will plant tiger trout this summer and thereafter. Tiger trout, being sterile, won't affect the gene pool. They fight well and put on flesh quickly. The tigers will go in as fingerlings this year and may be big enough for good fishing action in 2004. In order to succeed, the DWR needs your help and cooperation. If one or more rogue anglers decide to restock Duck Fork Reservoir with rainbow, brook trout, or anything else, the project will fail. If the project fails, all of us may have to suffer the consequences.
Recreationalists are encouraged to watch for illegal stocking or other activities which could compromise the reservoir's value in keeping the Colorado River cutthroat from being listed as threatened or endangered.
