Emery County residents in the Seeley Fire area must buy flood insurance by September 16, to be eligible for an exception to the 30-day wait for flood insurance to go into effect, federal and state recovery officials said today.
The exception allows an insurance adjuster to determine whether flood damage to a home or business was caused or made worse by post-wildfire conditions on federal land. If so, a flood claim can be filed before the normal 30-day waiting period.
"If you live in or near a wildfire area, your risk of flooding could be worse," said Randy Welch of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. "We've already seen some flooding in the Seeley Fire area. It will take years for the land to grow new vegetation, so the flood risk will stay around for a long time. It could happen a few years from now, or it could happen next week. We encourage everyone who may be affected to buy flood insurance right away and definitely within the grace period."
The Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, signed into law July 6, 2012, by President Obama, increases access to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for some residents whose homes were impacted by flooding from federal land that resulted from wildfires.
The new law exempts these residents from a 30-day waiting period for flood insurance coverage. Eligibility for the exception is determined on a case-by-case basis.
Individuals and businesses purchasing new insurance policies from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) typically are required to wait 30 days for their flood insurance coverage to become effective. The reform provision in this bill created an exception to that requirement for property:
â¢That is affected by flooding that is caused or made worse by post-wildfire conditions on federal land, and
â¢Flood insurance was purchased no later than 60 days after the wildfire containment date. The Seeley Fire containment date was set as July 18, 2012, so the deadline for getting flood insurance that is eligible for the 30-day exception is Sept. 16.
To learn about flood risks in your area and for information on flood insurance, contact your insurance agent, and visit www.floodsmart.gov.

The ZZ Walker from Boze, the same company that makes the famous Sumo Frog, is a soft plastic walking bait that can be fished in any water on the lake. The unique weedless design will get the ZZ Walker over and through the thickest slop and heaviest weedbeds you can find. When you see a patch of clear water in the middle of some nasty grass, you can throw the ZZ Walker without dragging a couple of pounds of salad with you, unlike the classic hardbait style walkers like a Spook or a Sammy.
The ZZ Walker is weighted on the bottom of the tail, making casting easy and upright landings every time. When you start walking the ZZ Walker, it will look like something alive in the water and will pivot on the weight. The ZZ Walker's head will swing wildly back and forth like something desperately trying to get away, and we know bass can't resist if they think something is getting away! The ultra-sharp Owner double hook is situated near the middle of the body and will provide positive hookups when a big bass bites. The big eyeballs sit just above the waterline, just like a real frog or other aquatic animal, providing more realistic attraction. The ZZ Walker comes is a variety of great colors and Tackle Warehouse carries all of them. If bass are chasing shad deep in a stand of reeds or tules, or lurking in holes in the grass, the ZZ Walker could be just the thing to get at them. Be sure to use heavy monofilament or super braid so you can pry the big fish out from their haunts.

Comments: These things have all the properties of a Zara Spook except in a weedless, soft body. I have three of these & all of them set pretty near horizontal on the water & all of them walk the dog over the thickest slop. In open water, the slightest twitch of the rod makes these things turn 90 degrees & glide on their own about a foot.
From: Big John: NY 2/8/16
Comments: As soon as I got it, I took it out for some swimming lessons: At rest, it's about 15 degrees from perfectly horizontal and will work its way through thick vegetation like it was born in it! While it will occasionally stumble a bit, it's generally pretty stable and will outcast any frog in the same weight class. And that Owner hook isn't kidding when a fish grabs this walker! I ran into trouble when large pickerel attacked it and cut my line, leaving me without a spare. Unless Boze quality control is really bad, I just can't figure out how my observations can be so different from Bud's. Anyway, I'm definitely ordering more real soon!
From: Fishingelbow: Quebec 9/9/14
Comments: Balance is way off, sit's straight up and down in the water like an IMA Skimmer - which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Cast's like a helicoptering spinnerbait - not an elegant bait to use in the thick stuff. I would only target sparse cover with this bait, but to be honest - after using it once it now collects dust somewhere deep in my frog box.
From: Bud: Swan Lake, NY
Comments: just used these walking frogs on a grass bed in a river iv fished for years with awesome results..iv caught fish there before on spro frogs but nothing like what these baits produced...if your lookin to catch fish for fun or to fill that tournament bag with big kicker hogs this bait is a must have in your tackle box..ABSOLUTLEY AWESOME!!

JGD 45: The Drawing Board
Kevin McCartney
January 05 2014 02:46AM
The Jets' loss to Ottawa put them back at .500 hockey, and another loss to Boston makes this a forgettable road trip. It's 44 games in, and the club is back where it started on that hopeful October night in Edmonton.
But not everyone is back at the beginning. The Jets have 37 games to overcome a 6 point deficit to a team with three games in hand for a Wildcard playoff spot. They'll need to leap-frog two Division rivals to do it. And their opponent today? The Penguins are 18 points clear of the Jets in one fewer game and stand atop the Metropolitan Division. With a +38 goal differential, the Penguins stand alongside the Bruins as the best Eastern Conference team the Jets have faced.
Much more than the East/West split so often reported in the Jets' rate of success this season, quality of team has been the primary driver of wins and losses. The Jets are just 10-15-3 against 'Quality' teams, or teams that have more points than games played. Five of those ten wins were in the shootout, and another two in overtime. The Jets have managed just 3 regulation wins against teams with more points than games played.
In contrast, their record is 9-5-2 against teams on pace for 82 points or fewer. That includes zero shootout wins - all 9 were in regulation. In their final 37 contests, the Jets face 'Quality' teams 27 times. It might get ugly.
Jets Forwards
- Ladd - Little - Wheeler
- Kane - Scheifele - Frolik
- Thorburn - Jokinen - Setoguchi
- Tangradi - Wright - Peluso
I have to apologize for a lack of game coverage the last few days. I got back on the road again and internet has been inconsistent. But we're back!
Thorburn fighting Chara was terrific. I have no idea how he got Chara to go, but what a trade off for the Jets. Maybe he can get Crosby to go this afternoon. The Jets could use the break.
The LLW line is hitting a bit of a corrective. The line has been -4 over the last two outings, and the process hasn't been what we're used to over the last three (though a strong finish in Boston). We talked about Bryan Little having a very high shooting percentage when it seemed like nothing short of a brick wall could stop him. Well, now a shooter-tutor could do a pretty good job. He's without a goal in 9 games, and has only two assists in that time. He still leads the team in scoring, but Ladd and Wheeler have caught up slightly with 6 points each in that time in part thanks to a briefly revitalized powerplay.
Thankfully, Evander Kane is still doing his thing. The team was eaten alive against the Bruins primarily because of organization and the Jets' inability to manage the puck in the top half of their defensive zone (offensively or defensively). We saw Scheifele and Frolik standing next to each other at the point again a few times defending and all manner of give aways early on the breakout play. But Evander Kane. That guy just gets the puck down the ice and on net.
Jets Defence
- Enstrom - Trouba
- Ellerby - Byfuglien
- Stuart - Bogosian
- Montoya
- Pavelec
I predict Montoya because of the back-to-back situation and the fact that Pavelec wasn't exactly lights out against Boston, even if the team was out matched.
Hey, that Tobias Enstrom fellow sure is good at hockey. How he avoids contact so well is worth considerable examination. His timing, his gap work, his patience... Sweden will miss him this Olympics.
Dustin Byfuglien didn't get serious consideration for the American Olympic team, and we know the reasons. His speed isn't overwhelming (though the American team is slower than they promised), and he rarely puts together 60 minutes of mistake free hockey. But in his first 43 games this season, he had 31 points compared to 28 in 43 last season. His 3.4 shots per game average is outrageous, and there are very few defencemen in the league who could record 7 shots on net when their team is struggling the way Buf did against Boston. He's +4 since Christmas on a team that's gone 3-2-0 and +2. Not bad for a saboteur.
What Would Mark Stuart Do? should be the motivational bracelet of a jaded and ironic generation of hockey players.
Penguins Forwards
- Kunitz - Crosby - Neal
- Jokinen - Sutter - Gibbons
- Pyatt - Vitalle - Adams
- Glass - Sill - Engelland
Yowza that's a mess. The team is missing Malkin, Dupuis, Beau Bennett, Megna, and Connor at forward, as well as losing Dustin Jeffrey during the year. They've added Taylor Pyatt and still they play defenceman Derek Engelland at forward.
But the mess has a top line that will be the focus of the Jets' game plan. Sidney Crosby has 62 points, 8 more than the player in second (Pat Kane). How do you shut down Crosby? We're going to hear a lot of 'five man effort' talk. The truth is that you can only limit his looks, and that means crowding his passing lanes and letting him go to areas you don't care about to protect the ones you do. He wins every battle behind the net off the end boards, and he always traps a defender. The Jets need to be smarter than we're used to in their own end. We'll see what Noel has gameplanned. Sometimes he has a surprise for the first period (that is usually countered in the second).
Penguins Defence
- Maata - Niskanen
- Orpik - Depres
- Bortuzzo - Scuderi
- Zatkoff
- Fluery
The Jets face a lot of back-ups, and an inter-conference game against a lesser opponent probably means another back-up, too.
If you thought this group was more healthy, you haven't been paying attention. Paul Martin is still out with a broken leg. Kris Letang is being evaluated for this game, but has been missing time with an elbow injury. Tomas Vokoun hasn't played this year thanks to blood clots before the season.
Brooks Orpik is only recently returned from a concussion. It seems like these head injuries are getting shorter and shorter to recover from this season, and Orpik was out cold and back 8 games later. Scuderi also returned at the end of December. So yes, there was a time in December when the Penguins were playing 5 AHL call ups in their top 6.
What's this thing about organization and structure? Seems neat.
Despite the great success of the Penguins, this is a winnable game for the Jets. The key is controlling their speed through the neutral zone and moving the puck against a very inexperienced group with much less practice time under Bylsma's system than the people they're replacing. Force mistakes through puck movement. Oh, and you just have to shut down Sindey Crosby. Even if the Jets come out flat as they always do in afternoon games, this one is worth watching just for 87 - the star of the Canadian Olympic team.
January 05 2014, 08:35AM
Unfortunately, I haven't got an artistic bone in my body, so when I saw your header with the word Drawing in it, I ran away screaming like a little school girl. Can' t even draw a conclusion. So I leave this up to the fine wordsmiths and analysts at JN to further extrapolate what would be on your Drawing Board once pen hit paper if you were the GM of this team. Perhaps you could could make it into a serial piece. It is a process after all. Next installment ...The Drive For Number Five, as in a top five pick in Philadelphia come June 27-28. After all, the prospect of the Jets cascading down four spots from their current 22nd position, with games in hand, seems more likely than entertaining any hopes of getting to the playoff line. I'm all about setting goals, so let's start there.
It would be an understatement to describe this draft as anything but unspectacular. Looks like the best you're going to get out of this graduating class is a second line forward or a number 3 or 4 defenceman. Might be an opportunity here for the Jets to package up a deal that would include their first round pick (straight up or a swap) and a coveted roster player to a team heading to the playoffs. As I see it, the Jets coming out party won't be happening until 2015-16, so getting players that should be good to go that year might be a strategy to pursue. What are your thoughts?
The Jets are loaded with potential this season, no doubt. The just can't seem to break out past that .500 mark. With the Central divison as strong as it is this season, and the new playoff format, Jets look to be pushing for a wild card spot in the 2014 playoffs.
WWMSD? Judging from the last game he would offer his partner no passing option from the corner when the puck finally is turned over so that they can enjoy another 30-45 seconds of being pinned in their own end. This misguided strategy of having no clear top 4 grouping must end, if this team is going to dress Stuart he needs to play sub-16 minutes a night not nearly 19. This is certifiably insane.
Stuart's increased ice time and the Thorburn Improvement Program is pushing me to a place where I do not want to be, believing in some sort of shadowy conspiracy to stealth-tank this Jets team for this season. Active sabotage is the only rational explanation at this point.
January 05 2014, 11:25AM
X, I think you might be right. I wouldn't go so far as to suggest an active sabotage or that a conspiracy theory is in effect to deliberately tank the season out, but there certainly seems to be a little aiding and abetting going on.
I think the Grand Wizard is operating from another plateau. One which has Thorburn being dragged down by his third line mates. Surely he is truly the "anchor" of that line in this alternate universe with his gifted hands made of a magical stone.
On their current flight path, I do indeed see the Jets having a crack at the top 5 in the 2014 draft.
@Kevin McCartney
One can't help but feel like a raving lunatic having to make the same arguments over and over again. Sports fans must find ways to condition themselves to accept screaming into the void, otherwise the whole thing simply becomes too frustrating. This being the first season I am following the Jets with some genuine interest in the mechanics of the game I am frustrated, coping mechanisms have yet to make themselves apparent I suppose.
10th in a bad draft or 13th or 7th, does it matter? (I think 7th is about the best we could expect with a genuine tank.) This team has gone off the board with its first rounders (generally in a good way) anyhow so I don't know that it will matter. If you are not going to pick top 3 you might as well play the best hockey possible and deliver some entertainment. Hopefully the playoffs get far enough out of reach that we see some IceCaps rotate in for evaluation purposes at some point, that will keep me interested.

Family of Evans woman whose death was ruled suicide claims to have evidence it was murder
April 22, 2014
The family of a former Evans woman whose death two years ago was ruled a suicide say they have damning evidence that her husband murdered her, an act they say was covered up because he was a law enforcement officer.
They stated at a news conference Thursday in Denver with their attorney, Dan Recht, their belief that Evans Police Officer Michael Yates omitted material statements from a witness who said he overheard Tom Fallis, a Weld County Sheriff's detention officer at the time, tell his parents he shot his wife.
They also claimed that Yates changed a statement from a neighbor to support a finding of suicide.
"Within only a few days, the death was prematurely ruled a suicide. Yet there is an abundance of evidence clearly showing that Tom Fallis shot and killed his wife. He then covered up the murder by lying and saying it was a suicide," Recht told reporters.
That is just the beginning, Recht said, stating that there was plenty of evidence to support a murder scene rather than a suicide.
"We urge that the investigation be conducted thoroughly but quickly and that the Weld County DA seek justice in this case," Recht said. "And justice in this case is the arrest and prosecution of Tom Fallis for first-degree murder."
Ashley Fallis died Jan. 1, 2012, shortly after a New Year's Eve party at her Evans home.
Evans police investigated, bringing in agents from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and all determined it was suicide.
Evans Police Chief Rick Brandt, though stating he couldn't discuss anything about the case since he turned it over to other agencies for review, said he is confident his officers conducted a thorough investigation, and did everything necessary to come to an appropriate conclusion.
Fort Collins police are taking a second look at the investigation into Fallis' death; Loveland police are looking into the allegations of criminal conduct against Yates.
The family all along has believed, after going through the reports and interviewing witnesses, that Evans police bungled the investigation and came to a premature conclusion to protect Fallis.
"We were the last five people to leave," said her father Joel Raguindin in an interview. "We were the last to see Ashley alive, and we also saw Tom Fallis in a fit of rage."
Her mother, Jenna Fox, read a statement to reporters:
"Our daughter, Ashley was vibrant … a strong and happy woman, making a good emotional and spiritual life for her children. … I cannot understand Yates' motive to omit and change evidence. It's clear that's exactly what he did. I can only wonder who else is involved? The police department is here to serve and protect. Who is Yates serving and protecting?"
Fox said she hasn't yet been able to discover if there was any clearer connection between Yates and Fallis other than the fact that they were both in law enforcement.
In addition to the allegations of leaving out the statements from a neighbor, and changing statements from another neighbor, the family points to statements from the couple's 6-year-old daughter, who at the time told police that she saw her dad load the gun and shoot her mother.
The family said the child's statements were discounted because of her age and because she told police she saw him fire three shots.
Recht told reporters the party, attended by family, ended abruptly because Tom Fallis was in a rage. A neighbor told police she heard Ashley Fallis say, "Get off me, get off me," before the gunshot.
The bedroom in which it happened was in disarray, and the couple both showed signs of being in a physical fight, Recht said.
Bryce Fox-Raguindin said in a statement that it was time for his sister to get the investigation she deserved:
"It is time for the incomplete, fraudulent and biased investigation conducted by detective Yates to be picked through with a fine-toothed comb. It is time for all the evidence to be heard and considered before making a conclusion. And, now is the time for my sister to finally receive the justice she has always deserved."
Ashley's parents have been awarded grandparents' rights to the couple's three children, and have been in contact with them in their new home in Indiana.
Still, Fox said, she fears for their safety.

Is This The BEST Marriage Proposal Ever?
A lesson on going the extra mile...
He wants to spend his whole life with her, and Dean Smith has certainly put in some serious preparation when it comes to asking his girlfriend Jennifer to be his wife.
The lovestruck fellow videotaped himself popping the question to his beloved, not once, not twice, but EVERY DAY for a whole year, via written messages on a whiteboard.
The big moment itself came whilst unaware Jen was getting ready for her birthday dinner whilst holidaying in Aruba.
Amazingly the whole of the lady's family are in on the creative plan and lend a hand.
Watch the whole emotional video, including Mr Smith getting down on one knee on the beach at the end to a very tearful lover!

Opening keynote featuring Sen. Jeff Merkley
Keynote; Thu, 06/20/2013 - 06:45pm, Exhibit Hall 2
We'll kick off Netroots Nation 2013 with an opening keynote from Oregon's junior Senator, Jeff Merkley. Other speakers include Ash Kalra (San Jose City Council), Howard Dean, Barney Frank, Becky Bond, Speaker Perez, Sandra Fluke, and Mike Honda.
Panelists: Senator Jeff Merkley
Not Another Newtown: Building a Movement to Prevent Gun Violence
Keynote; Fri, 06/21/2013 - 09:00am, Exhibit Hall 2
Rampant gun violence has plagued our country for decades but thanks to NRA lobbyists, it's been a nearly untouchable issue. Each shooting seems to be more violent and tragic than the last. When a man was able to easily access guns and massacre 26 people, including 20 children, at a Connecticut elementary school last December, it opened the country's eyes to the need for stronger gun laws. It seemed that our elected leaders finally had the backbone and integrity to take action. Sadly, we were disappointed that even the most common sense and widely supported legislation couldn't pass in the Senate. But an outside movement is still building power, and several state legislatures have begun to take bold action to curb gun-related deaths. In this session we'll hear from some of the leaders of this movement about our successes, failures and what the Netroots can do to help stem the tide of gun violence and keep our communities safe.
Led by: Jehmu Greene
Panelists: Lily Eskelsen Garcia, Anna Galland, Mark Glaze, Rep. Robin Kelly, Senator Darrell Steinberg, Randi Weingarten
Comprehensive Immigration Reform: Where We Stand and What's Next
Keynote; Sat, 06/22/2013 - 09:00am, Exhibit Hall 2
President Obama has made Comprehensive Immigration Reform a priority in his second term. As a bill is crafted and moved through both houses of Congress, where will we stand on creating an immigration process in June? Will the far right derail sensible policy, or will compassion and common sense win the day? This session will explore where we are and what's to come on this crucial issue—and how the Netroots can leverage their power to ensure the right reforms are adopted.
Led by: Ryan Grim
Panelists: Luisa Blue, Mandeep Chahal, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Dolores Huerta, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, Markos Moulitsas, Chuck Rocha
Ask the Leader
Keynote; Sat, 06/22/2013 - 12:00pm, Exhibit Hall 2
Join moderator Zerlina Maxwell and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, in a substantive discussion about current issues and legislative process. Tweet your questions with the hashtag #AskPelosi in advance or live during the session.
Boxed lunches generously sponsored by the Sierra Club.
Led by: Zerlina Maxwell
Panelists: House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
Closing keynote: Ignite at Netroots Nation
Keynote; Sat, 06/22/2013 - 04:30pm, Exhibit Hall 2
This year we're trying something a little different. We'll be closing Netroots Nation 2013 with an engaging, fast-paced keynote that will inspire and entertain.
Using the Ignite format, each speaker will be given 5 minutes to talk, while 20 slides that advance automatically every 15 seconds are shown on the screen.
The theme for this year is Inspiration, Innovation and Progress. We've assembled a great group of speakers who will share their unique experiences and personal stories.
Over the course of the program you'll hear from Aspen Baker, Ash Beckham, John Brougher, Rafael Casal, Zack Exley, Ian Inaba, Sally Kohn, Amanda Marcotte, Colin Mutchler, Femi Oke, Favianna Rodriguez, Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, Anat Shenker-Osorio, Joel Silberman and Zach Wahls. Jasiri X will also perform during the program. Netroots Nation regulars Jenifer Fernandez Ancona and Adam Mordecai will co-host the evening.
Generously sponsored by Upworthy.

It was daffodil weather just a few days ago, all warm and sunny.
That was then and this is now.
Roads are rutted, creeks are high, tree limbs are scattered, and the sun has been a stranger since Saturday.
By week's end, daffodils may bloom again, and a week or so after that, if lucky, we will hear the first whippoorwill.

It's pretty ridiculous that this is what's acceptable for $50. I don't think it has the strength or aspects to age well past another 5-10 years although it is a good drink now tea. I'm going on a puerh buying hiatus unless there is some amazing deal. Hopefully in a couple years we'll have another bubble burst. Or it might not be a bubble and good new puerh may start costing dollars per gram. Who knows

text: Melding rockabilly, retro-country, and blues styles into a rollicking dance-friendly cocktail, the Riptones are one of the more traditionally oriented bands on Chicago's wild-and-wooly alt-country scene. Led by guitarist, singer, and songwriter Jeb Bonansinga, the band formed in 1990, with Bonansinga joined by his brother Tod Bonansinga on vocals and rub board, Earl Carter on bass, Andon T. Davis on guitar, and Tom Harmon on drums. After several years of steady gigging around Chicago and building up a loyal following, the group recorded their first self-released album, Cool Hand, in 1994; the same year, a track by the Riptones appeared on the compilation Insurgent Country, Vol. 1: For a Life of Sin, the first release from the influential Bloodshot Records label. In 1996, the Riptones recorded a second album on their own dime, World Renowned, before they signed on with Bloodshot in 1997 and released their third album, Extra Sauce. 1999 found the Riptones stripping back their style to a leaner and more rocking approach, while paring the lineup down to a trio; Tod, Andon T. Davis, and Harmon all left the group, and Kurt Wiesend came on board as drummer. (Davis, however, did make a guest appearance on the Riptones' 1999 album Cowboy's Inn.) In 2001, the band unveiled their fifth album, Buckshot, and another new lineup; Wiesend bowed out and drummer Perry LaFine stepped in to replace him, while Michael Krasovech joined as lead guitarist. In 2003, the group was putting the finishing touches on Slant 6, an all-instrumental album. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Well Deserved Review...best Deep Conditioner Ever!!I'm surprised there aren't more reviews raving about how good this product is!!
I have middle back length, non-relaxed/ permed (natural), highlighted/colored treated hair, naturally curly hair (shrinks up to my shoulders when wet) that I flat iron/blowdry straight regularly. I'd say my hair is in fair condition. Not the best but considering all the recent highlighting, coloring and bleaching, its still pretty healthy still except for the usual split ends here and there and occasional dryness. I noticed a tendency for my hair to feel brittle/limp dry more often since I decided to go blonde a few weeks ago from a very dark brown (almost black) color.
This conditioner did wonders for my hair. Its so rich and creamy and comes with a little comb to help you comb it through your hair evenely. I used half the container (I have very thick hair by the way) in one shot so I personally get two uses out of this product. The directions only say to leave it on for a few minutes but I left it on for about an hour and then when I rinsed, I made sure not to wash all of it out. I left a little in to further protect my hair and help detangle.
The results were amazing! Hair was soft, silky, and really shiny. My fingers slid right through them after I put my flat iron down, I couldnt stop touching my hair. I felt like my hair cooperated more and just came out straighter because of it. Also I noticed it brought out all the colors and highlights in my hair like crazy. Everyone was asking me if I got more highlights done or if I started relaxing my hair. $50 bucks is steep but this is worth it. I will be treating myself once a month :)

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Despite losses last week to the top two programs in region 19, the Green River High Lady Pirates are off this week to Richfield to participate in the Utah State 1-A girls' basketball tournament. After finishing third in the region the Lady Pirates will open the three-day affair with a game against Wendover High, the second place team out of region 18.
Wendover finished the season with an 8-2 region record and an overall record of 14-5. The Pirates and Wendover played a couple of the same teams throughout the season and they had similar results against Tabiona and Altamont. The Wednesday game should come down to the wire and should be a good game for both teams. Game time is Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. at the Sevier Valley Center.
Last week Green River closed out the season with games against Monticello and Whitehorse. Monticello defeated the Pirates 43-37 after opening up a lead in the third quarter. Green River actually won the other three quarters 27-26 but lost the third 17-10.
Whitehorse also used a big third quarter to put away the Pirates. The third quarter score was 15-6 for Whitehorse while the other three periods were two point differences or less.
Scoring for Green River against Monticello was Taylor Johnson with 11 plus 8 rebounds, Sydney Thayn with 10 points plus 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Savannah Williams with 7 points, Kira Engleman with 4 points, Presley Lovato with 3 points and Robin Nelson with 2 points.
Scoring against Whitehorse was Johnson with 13 points plus she had 24 rebounds, Engleman with 10 points, Nelson with 7 points, Thayn with 5 points and Justice Hatfield with 2 points.
The region 19 final records were Monticello at 9-1, Whitehorse at 8-2, Green River at 6-4, Monument Valley at 3-6, Pinnacle Academy at 3-7 and Navajo Mountain at 0-9.

'Mystéres de Lisbonne / Misterios de Lisboa
Mysteries of Lisbon' (Part 2)
Raúl Ruiz
2010 / 257 min.
There are two different parts to this film. Part 1 will show on 2/22 and Part 2 on 3/1.
FILM/VIDEO: This majestic, magisterial film is based on a labyrinthine, three-volume 19th century Portuguese novel by Camilo Castilo Branco. Mysteries of Lisbon begins as the story of a 14-year-old boy's, João, quest to discover his true origins, expands to include the reminiscences of legions. Believing himself to be an orphan, João soon discovers that he's the son of a countess. This revelation leads to several other connections and mysteries to be unraveled.
This event is part of The Tournées Festival, the weekly series of new French films on campus.

At the end of December, the Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester, Massachusetts, will close its doors for good. The museum has displayed one of the most significant collections of arms and armor in the United States for the past 83 years.
FEATURE: What's Next for Worcester's Higgins Armory?
There's no actual moat around Worcester's Higgins Armory Museum, but there is a knight in armor on its roof, medieval banners flying and a space inside designed to look like the Great Hall in a medieval castle.
The late Worcester Pressed Steel Company owner, John Woodman Higgins, had the art deco building constructed to house his collection of arms and armor. But now it faces a funding shortage, and the Higgins board decided the museum would need to close at the end of this year.
"I know it sounds trite, but what's going to affect me the most is when we take the flags down off the building," says Suzanne Maas, the Higgins director. "You come over the hill and there's the building, and it's a flagship for the industry, for the collection what was important to Mr. Higgins, what's been important to this community."
The museum's board plans to list the building with a realtor shortly after the closing. Meanwhile, its 2000-plus piece collection is moving a few miles away to the Worcester Art Museum.

Emery High baseball had two region games last week and they continued their impressive run through the opposition by defeating Grand in Castle Dale 12-0 and then followed that win up with a victory at North Sevier by a score of 12-1. Against Grand, junior Dillon Wilstead was the starting pitcher and started the game off by striking out the side in the top of the first to set the tone for the entire game. Wilstead added two more strike outs the next inning on his way to striking out 10 batters in the five inning game. All three outs in the third inning by Grand were also strikeouts. Wilstead gave up four hits in the game but no walks and no Grand base runner got past second base.
In the bottom of the first inning, Ridge Nielson batting leadoff for Emery, started things off with a walk. Ethan Tuttle followed with a walk and got picked off trying to steal second base. Tyson Roper doubled to score a run with Gavin McDermott then hitting a homerun to score two more runs.
Wilstead then got on base followed by Drexler Tanner also getting on base. Brayden Burke was then hit by a pitch and Tanner Lake walked before Nielson was up for the second time in the inning and this time Ridge hit a double to score the last of the seven runs the Spartans scored that inning.
Emery added a run in the second inning after Roper and McDermott each singled with Roper scoring. Emery added four more runs in the third inning. Burke led off with a single with Marco Mota following with another single. After the next two batters grounded out, Tuttle ripped a triple to score a pair of runs and Roper followed with a single to score Tuttle. Roper was the last Emery score of the inning and he scored after McDermott and Wilstead each singled in their final at bat in the game.
At Salina on Friday, Emery scored four in the top of the first, four in the second and four in the third and then played the required five innings to claim the win. Brayden Burke was the pitcher of note in this game. Burke allowed a first inning run, two base hits in the game along with four bases on balls. He struck out five.
In the first inning Nielson led off the game with a triple to left field and Wilstead followed with a single to center. After Burke got out, McDermott got on base due to a North Sevier error. Tuttle followed with a single and all four scored. Mark Debry got the final hit of the inning. In the second inning, Nielson walked, Wilstead got on base courtesy of a North Sevier error, Burke singled, McDermott singled and Drexler Tanner singled as Emery scored four more times and picked up three base hits.
Emery scored their final four runs in the next inning. Mota led off with a walk followed by Tanner Lake hitting a single. After Nielson and Wilstead got out, Burke singled, McDermott walked, Tuttle doubled, Drexler got on via an error and Debry got hit by pitch. Emery has two home games this week as they host Wasatch Academy on Tuesday and Altamont on Friday in varsity only action.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing and many of us would look a hell of a lot smarter if we were able to go back in time and change some of our more dubious decisions. Remember that high school picture that you hoped would be quickly forgotten? Remember how you used to dress in those days? Did you think your favorite striped blue shirt would be gazed upon by millions of people on the internet years later when you became a massive celebrity? Looking back, probably not.
Yes, hindsight is often 20/20, particularly when it comes to hairstyles, tattoos and free agent signings.
If we could go back in time, many of us would do things a little differently. Considering what NHL players are signing for these days, you wonder if some teams also wish that they could go back in time and wait until August 1st to sign guys, rather that having made all their moves on July 1st. It's way easier to say today how money should have been spent than it was a mere 30 days ago. But then again, who am I to talk? I once said that the Oilers won the Pouliot/Jacques for Parise trade right after it happened. Could I have been more right?
When you look at how frugal teams have become in the past few weeks, you can't help but wonder why so many felt the need to overspend a few weeks ago.
Unrestricted free agents generally get overpaid
It's a fact. And it isn't just the Oilers who need to overpay to get a player to come here. Controversial columnist, Larry Brooks wrote on July 26th that the Oilers were being desperate in their need to overpay star players to join the team.
Here's a snippet of what he wrote:
Don't the Oilers get it? Their city is the last place in North America (other than presumably Ottawa and perhaps Atlanta) that Heatley wants to live, and their team is the last one in the NHL (insert a disclaimer or two) for which he wants to play. Enough already with the bribery and the convincing. The team and the city look more than desperate. They are beginning to appear pathetic with their continued pursuit of the player who for good reason has become hockey's most disdained individual. We know. The Oilers have to overpay in order to entice players of Heatley's on-ice pedigree to come to their city, and that's the reason why Nik Khabibulin was able to get an over-35 contract worth $15 million over four years on July 1.
What I find laughable here is Brooks' suggestion the Oilers have to overpay, because of the City. C'mon Larry - wake the f**k up. In the City that never sleeps all the Rangers seem to do is over pay guys to report to the team.
Scott Gomez gets $7.3 million a year for five years. Chris Drury got $7 million, Wade Redden is a $6.5 million cap hit on the books and injury-prone Marian Gaborik takes home a cool $7.5 million. Larry, do you really think these aren't overpayments too?
The fact is teams overpay for UFAs all the time, especially in the first few days of July, and normally throughout the summer. But not this year. This year it would seem the well has dried up.
Looking back now...
I wonder if the Habs are re-thinking offering Brian Gionta $5 million a year, when it looks like they could get Alex Tanguay for less than half of that now? Mike Comrie made $4 million last year, and while he struggled with only 10 goals, the three previous seasons he tallied 21, 20 and 30. He turns 29 in September and he'll probably sign for $1.5 million at the most.
Proven checkers like Mike Peca, Manny Malhotra and Blair Betts are still on the market, and if they get a deal it could be close to $750,000 or less. I spoke with Betts yesterday at a golf tourney and the phone hasn't been ringing at all lately. He is a proven veteran, who kills penalties and is good in the room, yet no interest. I know the Oilers have too many contracts but signing Betts to a one-year deal for $650,000 wouldn't hurt. Hell, some veterans might accept two-way deals at this point, just to get to camp. I bet Dominic Moore is regretting not signing the Leafs offer of close to $2 million back in June, because when he signs it will be for half of that.
I think many teams blew their wad in early July, and while they might have interest in a player, they simply have no money left to spend today. One positive should be that fans will see a lot of desperate players playing just to maintain, or get a new contract next year. That should make the dog days of the season a bit more competitive - or at least you would think it would.
Did the Oilers over pay for Khabibulin? You bet they did. But it is hilarious to suggest that it is only cities like Edmonton desperate to overpay players into bring them into the organization. New York City - the "supposed" best city in North America overpays players more often than most.
And they win all the time don't they?
@ Shifty
I agree, why call a press conference to announce that you're not going to do anything.
They could get Prendergast on the radio to confirm that.

The fourth year is the overpayment, but all teams have to do it, that's why I didn't rip it as a horrible deal.

OIlers presser at 3:30...tune in on TEAM 1260 to listen to it live...
Maybe Jason Gregor or Robin Brownlee, through their contacts with the Oilers, channel a complaint about the Flames cap circumvention on the Kippersoff Contract (Which would result 5M in fine and loss of draft picks)
This was the exact quote from a finnish newspaper, from Kipper's agent:
This is a recent quote from Kiprusoff's agent in a finnish newspaper
"From what I've heard from Miikka, he sees the contract as a four to five year deal. Calgary simply wanted to divide the expenses over longer period of time" "I Think this is Miikkas last contract. I think he has made enough money to keep his bed warm and his beers cold."
It shown to the NHL, and the finnish newspaper is found (or there might be a link via HF search feature), the Flames could be in trouble.

Doh! He/they did give us a PFO! I wonder why The Oil waited so long to spread the news?
If the Esks continue to play like they did last night, maybe we can give the Oilers some slack until late November.

Get rid of the three goalie monster and MacT and see how O'Sullivan plays once he gets used to his teammates.
I don't know that I disagree with him, the Oil weren't that far out of a spot.
So my question is this. This proclomation that we the team we have is the team we have indicates to me either Tambo can't make any sort of deals, or, they think Mactavish severley underachieved.
But which?
And, you can't threaten the underachieving players with being shipped out if they don't perform, because that's not the case.Where are you gonna ship em? Nobody wants them.

Didn't Tambo kinda say the team underachieved last year and that was one of the reasons they moved on from MacT?
Duke wrote:

That's not true. Ottawa wanted our players, Heatley just didn't want to come here. Hope he likes staying in Ottawa.
They where a playoff team last before that horrible streak at the end of the season. In fact before that streak they could of gotten as high sixth. The one thing lacking from this team is consistancy in its effort from game to game. That said I cant imagine there still won't be a trade or two before the season starts.
I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. I dont think they are good enough now, but things can change from now until it is time to play. I am glad they finally announced that they are out of this Heatley business. About three weeks to late but it was time to pull the pin.
@ Harlie: Tell us how you really feel! lol

Bryan Murray never called inquiring about anyone, least of all Dustin Penner. He was forced into the situation by Heatley, but on any other day he's not interested.

I can hear the vein in Harlie's head throbbing from here.
So....heatly said. no but the sens want our players???? so what else would they give up for them? what if we add a draft pic and get spezza?
