After holding a public hearing earlier in the June Huntington City Council meeting, the council unanimously approved the 2012-13 Huntington City budget. The total budget for the year is $915,540. The city adopted the property tax rate recommended by the county, a rate slightly lower than last year.
The annual Heritage Days celebration that begins this weekend consumed the most time after the budget discussions. This year, there will be six straight nights of some sort of entertainment in the city.
This Friday and Saturday, the Heritage Days rodeo will be held at the rodeo grounds. On Sunday night, the Huntington Glee Club will put on their annual patriotic program at the LDS Church Stake Center on Main Street.
On Monday night, Val Jensen's group will be playing at the City Park Pavilion. In conjunction with the music, the city will be having dinner in the park. At a cost of $5 a person or $20 per family, one can come out and have a great night.
On Tuesday night, the band No Limits will be performing under the pavilion. No Limits performs today's hot music plus music clear back to the 60's with lots of energy. This will be in a concert/dance format and will be held in conjunction with the free ice cream social in the park.
On Wednesday night, long time Castle Country favorites Haywire will be performing on the stage at Canyon View Junior High prior to the annual fire works display. Bring your blanket, bring your chair and bring your friends and family for good music to the football field at the school.
There are many other activities scheduled throughout the six days so check a schedule and be sure to attend.
In other business, the city council talked about fireworks and cautioned all to be careful in this highly flammable fire season. The city actually is encouraging those who will be setting off fireworks to do so in the city since there is much less fire hazard here. The council wants all to be extremely careful.
The city is looking at installing cameras in the city parks due to the high rate of vandalism. The city is encouraging the citizens to watch out for those who insist on damaging city property and call the authorities. The damage last month cost more than $1,000 to repair.
It was also decided to put the old fire station for sale as soon as the fire department has totally cleared out of the building. Those interested in buying the facility should contact the city.
The council was informed by the city zoning administrator that there are people in town that do not realize that a drought is on. There are fields that have water running in the same place for up to 24 hours. There are people flooding out their neighbors with water running too long. There are also people that turn on the water and just let it run down the storm drains. If we do not want to ration water then we all need to be wise in the usage.

How cool is this guy? Not as cool as a Dirt Babe but he's pretty close. Anyway, here are some tracks that friends have shot over to me in the last week. Give them a listen and have a great week everybody. PS – if anyone can find out where to buy his hat let me know. I'll trade you for a T-shirt when we get them in.
• The White Stripes – Seven Nation Army (The Glitch Mob Remix)
Any remix of this song is catchy. This one is also glitchy.
• Dada Life – White Noise/Red Meat (No Body's Moombahton Remix)
All slowed down and groovy from our friends, No Body. Not a big fan of Moombahton, but this one has definitely grown on me.
• Noah And The Whale – L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. (Fake Blood Remix)
Thought this was fake Fake Blood when it got sent to me, but it actually seems to have the Theo swagger in it for sure. Not my favorite FB track, but still one for the arsenal.
• RJD2 – The Glow (Run DMT Remix)
New dubstep track sent over by our homies at Undocumented Management. Run DMT have recently been added to the Undocumented roster and are giving away their entire new EP, Blast Off, for free HERE.
The Knocks – Dancing With The DJ (Jesse Marco Remix)
Our homies from Chubby Beavers sent this one over last week. NY resident Jesse Marco has been making some serious waves recently, so make sure to check on Chubby Beavers for more tracks from Jesse as well as news on his development.

Straps not same length

Great shoe
"I wanted to try a pair of mule shoes this season, and chose these in the cream/gold. I finally got a chance to wear them this past weekend, and I'm really happy with them! The heel height isn't too high, and they're pretty comfortable to walk around or stand in for longer periods of time. I got several compliments on them. Can't wait to wear them again!"

Totally Cute
"These mules are adorable, so pretty, and they go with a few spring outfits. I usually dont buy mules as they can be hard to walk in at work , but these are stable and comfy. So glad i took a chance and ordered them. The pastel pink, metallic pink and silver toes make for a very unique and feminine look."

Not So Sure
"Ordered this in the pink. Very stylish and sophisticated. Unfortunately the wide strap in the middle runs a bit wide so there is this gap between my foot and the strap. It kind of looks like they don't fit me. It could be me since I have slender feet and ankles but even with that I rarely have this kind of problem. I might have to take these back. So bummed. :-("

A brace from Robert Barbieri helped Treviso to a second consecutive win, and condemned Edinburgh to a third consecutive defeat.
A brace from Robert Barbieri helped Treviso to a second consecutive win, and condemned Edinburgh to a third consecutive defeat.
Treviso made the trip to Scotland following a narrow victory over Scarlets, while the hosts were looking to stop the rot following defeats to Leinster and the Dragons.
An early Greig Laidlaw penalty gave Edinburgh the lead, but the 20 minutes that followed were nip and tuck, with neither side able to take the game by the scruff of the neck.
Treviso got their first points of the game and took the lead on the half hour when they were awarded a penalty try following a period of intense pressure.
The Italians' advantage didn't last long, however, and, when Tim Visser showed pace to beat his man before handing off the cover defender to cross for a converted try, Edinburgh held the lead.
The hosts looked likely to take their 10-7 advantage with them into the interval, but an Alberto di Bernardo penalty levelled the scores before Robert Barbieri capitalised on an Edinburgh mistake to cross for the visitors' second try, converted by di Bernardo, to snatch the lead.
Di Bernardo then put ten points between the sides five minutes into the second half with his second penalty of the evening, before Barbieri's second try on 55 minutes left the hosts with a mountain to climb, after an Edinburgh clearance kick was charged down.
The hosts needed to find an instant response and they got one when Lee Jones showed tremendous pace to round his man and cross for an unconverted try.
That score reduced Trevo's lead to 12, but, though Edinburgh rallied, they'd have to wait until the dying minutes to find their next points, as Doug Fife crossed.
But it was too little too late for the Scots, whose shaky run of form continues for another week.
The scorers:
For Edinburgh:
Tries: Fife, Jones, Visser
Cons: Laidlaw 3
Pen: Laidlaw
For Treviso:
Tries: Barbieri 2, Penalty
Cons: di Bernardo 3
Pens: di Bernardo 2
Edinburgh: 15 Greig Tonks, 14 Lee Jones, 13 Matt Scott, 12 Ben Atiga, 11 Tim Visser, 10 Greig Laidlaw (c), 9 Chris Leck, 8 Dimitri Basilaia, 7 Roddy Grant, 6 David Denton, 5 Sean Cox, 4 Grant Gilchrist, 3 WP Nel, 2 Ross Ford, 1 Allan Jacobsen.
Replacements: 16 Andy Titterrell, 17 John Yapp, 18 Lewis Niven, 19 Netani Talei, 20 Ross Rennie, 21 Richie Rees, 22 John Houston, 23 Dougie Fife.
Treviso: 15 Luke McLean, 14 Tommaso Iannone, 13 Tommaso Benvenuti, 12 Alberto Sgarbi, 11 Tobias Botes, 10 Alberto Di Bernardo, 9 Fabio Semenzato, 8 Robert Barbieri, 7 Alessandro Zanni, 6 Simone Favaro, 5 Francesco Minto, 4 Antonio Pavanello (capt), 3 Lorenzo Cittadini, 2 Leonardo Ghiraldini, 1 Michele Rizzo.
Replacements: 16 Enrico Ceccato, 17 Alberto De Marchi, 18 Pedro Di Santo, 19 Valerio Bernabò, 20 Dean Budd, 21 Paul Derbyshire, 22 Kristopher Burton, 23 Giulio Toniolatti.

Neighborhood Nestwatch
Neighborhood Nestwatch is a citizen science program that teaches residents about the migratory birds in their backyards, while collecting hard-to-get data about urbanization impacts on wildlife.
What makes Neighborhood Nestwatch so effective and scientifically robust is the face-to-face interaction between participants and Smithsonian scientists when we visit their backyards to band birds every spring.
Founded in 2000 by SMBC Director Peter Marra, Neighborhood Nestwatch has grown from 40 backyards around Washington, D.C. to hundreds of yards throughout the United States.

70 Online offers learning options for all students
Alternative school includes principal, counselor and teachers
Pueblo School District 70 students have another option for schooling if they're looking for an alternative.
70 Online is the district's newest school that offers online options for students in grades kindergarten through 12.
Enrollment has steadily increased in 70 Online, with about 80 students at the school this year. The school has two brick and mortar campus sites where students go each week for teacher interaction and testing, and one of those sites is in Pueblo West, on the campus of Desert Sage Elementary School.
"70 Online provides opportunities for students who don't fit the traditional brick and mortar situation, or aren't successful there," said Principal Beverly Maestas.
"Maybe they live in outlying areas. Maybe they are students who can't attend a school every day because they have health issues or children of their own.
"The curriculum offered through 70 Online is equivalent to what they would receive at any other District 70 school, but the majority of the work is done online."
What makes 70 Online unique from many other online schools is it has its own staff including a principal, counselor and five teachers who are all District 70 employees.
"We have our own teachers and staff that are here to support and guide the students," Maestas said.
There is an ESS teacher, an elementary teacher, and for the middle and high school grades a math teacher, a science teacher and a social studies/English teacher.
Maestas said while a lot of the work is independent, there is still lots of interaction with teachers.
Students are scheduled for two sessions at the physical locations each week.
There are morning or afternoon sessions, each three and a half hours long.
"The students come in to our Pueblo West or Mesa location twice a week and receive direct instruction and support as needed," Maestas said.
"They're always welcome to come to any session for additional support."
Students also go to the school locations to take exams.
The elementary school students use the K-12 Curriculum, while middle and high school students use Aventa.
Previously, all 70 Online students were taught by Aventa instructors, and this school year marks the beginning of employing School District 70 teachers for instruction delivery.
The entire 70 Online staff were already employed by District 70.
Maestas was principal at Vineland and said she's excited to be in on the ground floor of 70 Online.
"I think the opportunities are limitless in this program," she said.
"It's great for students and I'm excited to be part of this new venture."
Maestas said she makes a point to stop into the classrooms often and interact with the students, so they get the same Principal/student interaction that children do at traditional schools.

- Defining and Achieving Decisive Victory. Authored by Dr. Colin S. Gray.
- The author explores the concept of victory in the war in terrorism, but he does so by placing it within the larger currents of change that are sweeping the global security environment. He contends that the time-tested idea of decisive victory is still an important one, but must be designed very carefully in this dangerous new world.

Unlisted Early Wedge Sandal
"Very comfortable wedge. Love the color since it is very close to my skin tone. I noticed upon opening the box there were discolorations on the faux leather (circled in red) and I am hoping they're intentional? Decided not to exchange/return since they are very comfortable. I intend to wear these with bootcut/flare/wide leg bottoms or dresses to show of the colors on the side wedge.They do make noise (circled in blue) where the strap rubs against the back when walking. My only solution to the squeak is to leave the end piece not in the strap and just leave it buckled. Otherwise it will keep rubbing together."

"I LOVE these wedges!! I loved them on the site, but they look even better in person. The colors are just so much more radiant up close. The heel is high, but not an uncomfortable high. You could definitely walk around most of the day in these. I wear a 10, I bought a 10, and they fit great. These shoes open up so many wardrobe options, you can literally wear them in a different way every single day of the week. I'm super happy with this purchase and will practically live in these shoes for the summer!!"

Scott Cullen has notes and stats from a wonderful night of playoff hockey, with four one-goal games -- three decided in overtime.
BRUINS WIN OT THRILLERIn a sensational hockey game with end-to-end action, the Boston Bruins took a 4-3 overtime win in Toronto and now head back to Boston with a three games to one lead in the series.
Bruins C David Krejci scored the OT winner, capping off his hat trick, on a night in which he recorded a career-high eight shots on goal. Krejci has been an elite playoff performer. In 63 career playoff games, he now has 57 points (0.90 points per game), which ranks 13th among active skaters, fitting between Brad Richards and Saku Koivu.
The first period started rough for Bruins captain Zdeno Chara, who was on the ice for both Maple Leafs goals and was minus-2 through the first period, but Chara was a positive factor the rest of the way, assisting on all four Bruins goals. That's a career-high, for the 36-year-old, by the way.
G Tuukka Rask delivered another strong game in goal for the Bruins, stopping 45 of 48 shots. He has a .932 save percentage through the first four games of this series.
Stay-at-home Bruins D Johnny Boychuk is no stranger to sacrificing his body and put up seven blocked shots and seven hits.
Toronto wasn't merely hanging around, hoping to compete with the Bruins. No, while the Maple Leafs' defence can be leaky, they also have skilled forwards that are capable of creating offensive opportunities, even against a strong defensive club like the Bruins.
Toronto outshot Boston 48-45 and outhit the Bruins 71-49. LW Joffrey Lupul, LW James van Riemsyk and RW Phil Kessel combined for 25 shots on goal, yet only managed one goal, by Lupul to draw first blood. Usually, 25 shots from players of their skill level would net more than a single goal.
The Maple Leafs' defence had an eventful night. Cody Franson was superb, finishing plus-3 and recording eight hits while playing 28:14. Dion Phaneuf played 31:14 and delivered a game-high 10 hits. Unfortunately for Phaneuf, his last hit, an ill-advised pinch in the offensive zone, led to the Bruins taking off on a two-on-one, that Krejci finished off.
Jake Gardiner, who not so long ago wasn't deemed worthy of a spot in the Maple Leafs' lineup, played 27:45 and contributed a pair of assists. Toronto's defence was taxed more than usual because Mark Fraser took a puck in the face off a shot from Bruins LW Milan Lucic. Fraser left the game, having played 12:49, and will wait to see if there are any facial fractures as a result.
Also fresh from the press box, Maple Leafs LW Clarke MacArthur was inserted into lineup and scored a goal, but only played 8:50.
Down three games to one and heading to Boston, the Maple Leafs are facing long odds -- about 7.1% of teams in this situation rally to win the series -- but after launching 95 shots on the Bruins' net in the last couple games, there has to be a legitimate confidence that the Leafs can play with Boston. Maybe they won't be able to win three in a row, including two in Boston, but Toronto has shown that, when they play well, they can give the Bruins trouble with their speed.
Additional secondary scoring, from Nazem Kadri, Tyler Bozak, Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin -- all of whom have one point in four games -- could be that little bit extra that the Leafs need to prolong this series.
RANGERS EVEN THE SERIESThe New York Rangers controlled play early, surrendered their lead to the Washington Capitals before getting back on top to stay with a 4-3 win, tying their series at two wins apiece.
Rangers LW Carl Hagelin led the attack with a goal and two assists and a plus-3 rating, while C Derick Brassard had a couple of assists and won eight of nine faceoffs for the Blueshirts.
Rangers captain Ryan Callahan again led Rangers forwards in ice time and filled the stat sheet with six shots on goal, seven blocked shots and five hits.
New York's forward lines got a boost as LW Ryane Clowe was in the lineup for the first time in the postseason. Clowe had one assist and four hits as he played a total of 12:19.
Rangers RW Rick Nash managed a modest two shots on goal, was minus-2 and played 16:49.
Washington's offence came from secondary sournces. Diminutive C Mathieu Perreault and grinding winger Joel Ward had a couple points apiece and Perrault recorded a game-high six shots on goal.
The supporting cast had to rise up for Washington because LW Martin Erat suffered an injury (upper body, could have been arm or wrist) and played just 4:42.
More importantly, the Rangers were able to neutralize Capitals RW Alex Ovechkin again, holding him to one shot on goal. Credit for the Rangers goes to the defence pairing of Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi, a duo that combined to play more than 61 minutes and blocked 10 shots in Game Four. Rangers D Marc Staal didn't play Game Four, after returning to the lineup in Game Three, so it was all the more important for McDonagh and Girardi to handle their lockdown responsibilities.
Heading to Washington for Game Five, the Capitals will have the last change, so they may have more success keeping Ovechkin away from McDonagh and Girardi, at least on occasion.
If the Rangers are going to get the job done in the last three games, they will need more from C Brad Richards and Nash, who have combined for two points in the series thus far. By the same token, Washington could use more from Mike Ribeiro, Marcus Johansson and Troy Brouwer, all three of whom have one point in the series. Richards and Brouwer both scored goals in Game Four.
ADVANTAGE: KINGSThe St. Louis Blues outshot the Los Angeles Kings 36-25, but Kings G Jonathan Quick had 34 saves and D Slava Voynov scored in overtime to give the Kings a 3-2 win in the game and, consequently, a 3-2 series lead.
St. Louis forced overtime when D Alex Pietrangelo's wrist shot found its way through the crowd with 44 seconds remaining in the third period.
RW Jeff Carter scored the Kings' first two goals, with assists from Mike Richards. There were a few statistical quirks for the Kings in this win. D Robyn Regehr led the team with four shots on goal. Regehr had no shots on goal in the first four games of the series and managed four shots in a game once in 41 games this season.
Looking to add some offence, the Kings also dressed AHL Rookie of the Year Tyler Toffoli for his first game of the postseason, playing a modest 10:29.
Meanwhile, C Anze Kopitar blocked a season-high four shots for the Kings. It's a good thing that Kopitar was playing defensively because his line struggled in terms of puck possession.
C Vladimir Sobotka handed out another eight hits for the Blues, while RW Chris Stewart paced the club with six shots on goal. Sobotka now leads the playoffs with 28 hits, one ahead of Kings captain Dustin Brown.
Every inch of ice in this series has been contested, and while the bounces haven't necessarily gone the Blues' way, they could win in Los Angeles and force a Game Seven back in St. Louis.
DUCKS GRAB LEAD WITH OT WINIn the third overtime finish of the night, the Anaheim Ducks edged the Detroit Red Wings on C Nick Bonino's game winner. Not only did Bonino score the OT Winner, he tied for the team lead in shots on goal, with four, and led the Ducks with three blocked shots. He's been a major addition to the Ducks' lineup since returning from injury late in the season.
D Ben Lovejoy, who set up Bonino's winning goal with a nice pinch and then pass from below the goal line, finished with a plus-2 rating in Game Five.
Detroit got a pair of assists from LW Henrik Zetterberg and RW Damien Brunner had six shots on goal, but Jonas Hiller stood tall in the Ducks' crease, stopping 29 of 31 shots. Anaheim controlled play early, outshooting Detorit 18-9 in the first period, but the tables turned in the second (15-9 for Detroit) and ended 34-31 for the Ducks. The possession standouts for Detroit in Game Five were the defence tandem of Brendan Smith and Kyle Quincey.
Heading to Detroit for Game Six, the Red Wings need more production from their supporting cast if they are going to force a Game Seven. D Niklas Kronwall, who isn't really support -- he's top tier -- has no points and is minus-3 through five games. C Valtteri Filppula has one assist and is minus-2; even Zetterberg only has three points after two assists Wednesday night.
What's working well for the Ducks is that, not only does Hiller have a .930 save percentage, but their supporting cast has been vital. Bonino has three goals and four points, Kyle Palmieri has four points, Matt Beleskey has three. That helps cover for RW Corey Perry, who has just one assist through the first five games.
This is aclose, competitive series, so it shouldn't be a surprise that the team with better goaltending and more contributions from second and third liners holds the three games to two edge.
BUCCIOVERTIMECHALLENGEOn a night with three games going to overtime, it's worth pointing out the Twitter fun involved. ESPN's John Buccigross monitors the #bucciovertimechallenge, in which T-shirts are randomly drawn from correct picks of overtime scorers. Bauer has jumped in too, offering sticks if the OT goal comes from a Bauer-sponsored goal-scorer. Going into Wednesday night, I had somehow managed to get three of my last four picks correct, but regression has started. In any case, it's fun and for a good cause, Buccigross donates proceeds from T-shirt sales (you can buy if you don't win) to charities, including You Can Play, Ice Hockey in Harlem, Newtown, Jack Jablonski and Movember.

Should the Oilers Trade for a Centre?
February 05 2013 04:42PM
This article could also be titled "The Value of Discovering a Weakness".
The Oilogosphere is awash with concern over the centre depth of the Oilers right now.
With Horcoff and Belanger both out with injury, and Gagner, Nugent-Hopkins and Lander getting schooled in the faceoff circle the other night against the Canucks, some discomfort with the present is understandable.
So should the Oilers look at moving a draft pick or middling prospect for a veteran centre?
Jonathan Willis recently posted an article asking if the Oilers should look at claiming Alexandre Bolduc off waivers from Phoenix.
This wouldn't be a bad idea, necessarily. But the point was made moot a short while later when the Oilers recalled Mark Arcobello. So I'll include a brief aside on Arcobello and the recall as opposed to claiming Bolduc off waivers.
Remember a few years back when the banks went belly up and the U.S. Treasury became a shareholder in corporations like Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac? Part of the bailout package included an agreement to conduct a government controlled re-introduction of credit and liquidity into the financial system. It was called a stress-test to see if the banks were capable of handling the load and that the new procedures put into place were up to the task.
Steve Tambellini and company have been rebuilding the NHL capacity of the Edmonton Oilers for several years now. A year ago, had these injuries occurred it is fairly likely that the Oilers would have claimed Bolduc. They have done so in the past by claiming players like Ryan Stone and Ryan Jones, and earlier this season they took Niko Holvinen off the waiver wire from the Flyers.
The Oilers' reluctance to claim Bolduc doesn't, in my opinion, come from some deep-seated desire to get high draft picks, but instead could be a kind of stress-test of the Oilers' system depth. They obviously feel that Arcobello presents a better long-term prospect for the team than Alex Bolduc. They might also believe that a minor move here can help to illustrate the needs of the team right now and test whether the Oilers have something in Arcobello. As a result of the pressure and ice-time that will likely be extended to others on the farm like Ryan Martindale, it might also help determine whether they have something worth pursuing in the rest of their center prospects.
To Trade or Not To Trade
So, back to our original debate about whether the Oilers should look at a trade to help deal with the current injuries.
The Oilers are a young team with a lot of bourgeoning talent and are crippled down the middle with injuries to veteran players. That is blood in the water to other GMs. Acquiring a good centre is almost always a steep price, and the Oilers would look like ripe for the picking by other GMs. The appropriate response to this is to remain calm, look for deals that play into the long-term, and avoid the car-salesmen calls from some of the NHL management brethren out to skin you.
The Red Queen's Hypothesis
(thanks again to Jonathan for bringing this up in relation to the NHL)
All teams are constantly improving. Spending too much time trying to maintain the status quo (Calgary), or running wildly after a dream that has an ever-diminishing chance of occurring (um, again, Calgary), results in a net loss. The Red Queen's Hypothesis is that, in a heavily compeitive environment, one has to constantly be improving in order just to try and stay competitive.
For the best teams in the league, the act of rebuilding never really stops. Pittsburgh has spent the entire length of Sydney Crosby's still-young NHL career continually attempting to improve and address areas of organizational need, predominantly in defense. Sometimes they have subtracted from the roster to address need, such as trading Ryan Whitney for Chris Kunitz and Eric Tangradi, or Alex Goligoski for James Neal and Matt Niskanen. At the same time they have focused intently on drafting, rarely relinquishing draft picks for immediate roster help.
They tend not to trade draft picks, and instead prefer to continually collect good prospects, adding depth to a system that has the luxury of time afforded by a strong roster.
In my opinion, this is the state that this team needs to achieve, where needs are addressed without subtracting from the future of the team.
My recommendation is not to trade for short-term assets (players who will impact the team this year or next) when the cost is draft picks or prospects who appear to have the potential to address future needs (impact depth players and defensemen).
The Oilers have to decide whether to offer Arcobello a contract this summer. Might as well find out what he can do before looking elsewhere.
He pretty much has passed every test in OKC. If the Oilers don't give him a shot when they are desparate, he will likely sign with a team who will give him an NHL shot next summer on a two way deal, rather than sign a similar two way deal with the Oilers.
February 05 2013, 04:50PM
IMO there is no rush. The goal is to win a cup andwe most likely aren't there yet.
Absolutely not!
~Seth Jones looks perfect for the Oilers centre woes~
Current guys can lose the draw.... he can retrieve it and all will be well. It fits all past fundamentals of a Tambo move. No brainer... IMO.
Bolduc will always be available if Mark fails, and fails is not fair to him, it is a big step. Stranger things have happened. Would it not be sweet if he just had a chemistry with Hall and Ebs. Wishful thinking i know but......
Sorry Mark, i should have said struggles or is overwhelmed.
I am pulling for you buddy !
February 05 2013, 05:13PM
For me the most interesting point is that Pittsburgh was willing to move both Whitney and Gologoski when they were still young and near peak value......that takes courage....it involves risk.........and risk taking and courage are at the core of good management.
Will we (Oilers brass) have the courage to move one of the 5 untouchables if the right deal comes along? Or, some of their highly ranked prospects for that matter?
On a similar note, will they even have the courage to move ANY players when those players are healthy and playing at a high level ( like Hemmer and Gagner are doing now)?
How much evaluation time is too much and at what point do we see the hard decisions get made?
February 05 2013, 05:20PM
Red Queen???
Now you have lost me.
Why are you writing on Oiler's nation about one of Flame's forwards?
February 05 2013, 05:28PM
Great article, stay the course. This is not a cup year...
Big forward progress shown by Dubbie , Petry , Gagner and J.Schultz ( above expectations ) . The rest are struggling to show much progress . At center we are thinner than necessary to become a playoff team .
February 05 2013, 06:13PM
The boobie is a very underappreciated overlooked bird. Two together are even more beautiful than one.
February 05 2013, 06:13PM
This might be a wild idea, and outside the box at this point, but, what would need to happen for Oilers take a shot at aquiring O'Riley?
Indeed... The obvious question is why don't the oilers just draft a centre?
February 05 2013, 06:45PM
This might be a wild idea, and outside the box at this point, but, what would need to happen for Oilers take a shot at aquiring O'Riley?
About 5 million in cap space for the next 5 years and a home for Gagner
February 05 2013, 06:46PM
If they wanted to go for an RFA for 5 million for 5+ years, they would've gone for Subban
Who could have seen this coming?
Now the opposition will find it even easier to key on Hopkins and Gagner.
Indeed... The obvious question is why don't the oilers just draft a centre?
You mean...why didn't they.
Galchenyuk anyone?
February 05 2013, 08:32PM
You mean...why didn't they.
Galchenyuk anyone?
Most typical DSF, you never, lets just say that again, you NEVER address immediate needs at the draft. Why would they draft a player who is worse just because he's a center?
February 05 2013, 08:39PM
You mean...why didn't they.
Galchenyuk anyone?
Agreed, Yakupov is still the better player.
Galchenyuk is something the Oiler's left on the table.
For those that thought the Oiler's needed defensemen more than centers, this is a clear indication that the Oiler's need to draft a center in the upcoming draft.
The Oilers do nothing this year, stay the course draft a qaulity center this year. This will be a great learning oppertunity for the kids they might not otherwise get
trade for the defensmen.
February 05 2013, 08:40PM
Most typical DSF, you never, lets just say that again, you NEVER address immediate needs at the draft. Why would they draft a player who is worse just because he's a center?
Galchenyuk is a justifiable pick, his all round game is better then Yakupov's, however Yakupov is far more offensive.
Galchenyuk is a justifiable pick, his all round game is better then Yakupov's, however Yakupov is far more offensive.
Is he?
Yakupov - 9GP 5G 2A 7P MINUS 6
Galchenyuk - 8GP 1G 6A 7P PLUS 6
Yakupov is a pretty shiny goal scorer but it appears Galchenyuk is an actual hockey player.
February 05 2013, 09:03PM
Drafting for need(size) got the Oilers Mitch Moroz. BPA BPA BPA!
February 05 2013, 09:05PM
@DSF Can't we blame Yakupov's minus 6 on Kyle Wellwood?
February 05 2013, 09:07PM
Is he?
Yakupov - 9GP 5G 2A 7P MINUS 6
Galchenyuk - 8GP 1G 6A 7P PLUS 6
Yakupov is a pretty shiny goal scorer but it appears Galchenyuk is an actual hockey player.
In the long run Yakupov will have more offense, but Galchenyuk would have been a good choice, no argument here.
February 05 2013, 09:59PM
With regards to the bank stress tests, I think along the same lines as what Obi-wan said to the Stormtrooper, "this is not the metaphor you're looking for."
I hope to god what the Oilers are doing is not the transparent propaganda exercise that was the stress tests. Otherwise things are a heckuva lot worse than anybody realizes.
Yak's stats 9 games in not good enough for you all? (face palm)
If everyone is panicing about losing our 3/4 centers, what does that say about our 1/2 centers?
Trade for a #2 center, and get someone with size who can USE it.
Why not just sign jason arnott and give him a try? He once was an oiler you know. Plus he is a proven winner (having won stanley cups), and a great leader. Not a bade signing if you ask me, He can teach the young guns how to win. I mean he did play pretty decent with st louis, Imagine what a team like the oilers would bring out in this guy. One last cup perhaps????
February 06 2013, 07:07AM
February 06 2013, 07:12AM
The problem is, we were weak down the middle before Shawn broke his knuckle.
Nuge - ...NUGE! Gagner - Weak defensively, slow skater, soft Horcoff - I believe everyone is aware of what Horcoff can and cannot do Belanger - Quite possibly one of the worst offensive players in the league.
Now we look like this down the middle:
Nuge - ...NUGE! Gagner - Weak defensively, slow skater, soft Lander - Prospect/Callup Arcobello - Callup
We need a center.... and a D to replace what we thought Whitney was.
... and a backup tendy

Arnott failed a physical with the Rangers a week or two ago. No thanks
February 06 2013, 12:12PM
Hire Michael Peca for a faceoff clinic.
February 06 2013, 12:28PM
RNH is out with a shoulder injury.....Does your opinion change now?
Arnott failed a physical with the Rangers a week or two ago. No thanks
Yeah he did ... But he barely failed it!!! And lets not forget, there was quite the lay off for a while there so a lot of players probably failed their physicals the first time around
I just don't see the big deal in offering up a 1 year deal at 1.5, Just to see what happens
February 06 2013, 01:58PM
Well, if you had used an engineering stress test as your metaphor, I would have been fully onboard the land speeder!
However, the purpose of the Bank stress tests was not "a run-through to determine the approximate loads that system is capable of handling."
The purpose of the bank stress test was to produce sufficient propaganda to make banks, investors and the public believe that the banking system was solvent (it wasn't and still isn't). The stress tests that were applied were an utter joke, akin to testing the Verrezano Narrows bridge by placing apples on it. Several banks failed immediately after passing such "stress tests"! Some took a little longer.
And, as it is slowly turning out, some banks hid their solvency issues even deeper, through complex derivatives, as is the case with the world's oldest surviving bank, Monte dei Paschi di Siena.
My point was that I hope the Oil were using such a speculated stress test for the engineering reason, not the banking one... and if the latter was the case, the team is worse off than believed, as were the banks.
By the way, the true stress tests of the banking system are:
1) the interbank lending rates. There is no need for ZIRP policy from the central banks if the banking system is healthy
2) central bank buying of sovereign debt. Again, there is no need for the central banks to allow their primary dealers to front run them for guaranteed profits in a healthy system. There is no need to repair bank balance sheets.
Both 1 and 2 are ongoing today, despite the system passing the tests years ago now.
Sorry Rex, bad metaphor.
February 06 2013, 03:18PM
the oilers aren't really in a need of getting a superstar. they have Jordan Eberle who will soon be on pace for a 40 goal season next year after this 48 games season is over. You have Taylor who is a future 35+ goal scorer and hopefully, its starting to look like Nail Yakupov will follow suit with Jordan Eberle. What the oilers need is a pair of two really good defensemen that can help Justin Schultz and Whitney or we can make a move for a goalie, but we will probably have to give up draft picks or give up Hopkins.

Mittens the Cat shall always be remembered, not for a chronic hernia which resulted in her internal organs casually popping out for air now and again or for having been first discovered as a kitten in a crumpled shopping bag in the back dumpster of Giant Supermarket, but for having ruined my ninth birthday.
Mom spent days on my luxurious chocolate mousse filled, chocolate sponge roulade covered cake. Days. One day for the roulade sponge. Once cooled, she covered the thin layer of cake in a soft ganache and gently rolled it into a tight log. She slivered the cake into half-inch slices and lined a cake pan with the beautiful pinwheel pieces creating a riotous exterior of chocolate-y whirligigs. The next day, she made dark chocolate mousse and poured it into the waiting roulade vessel and put the cake in the refrigerator to set for the day. And on my birthday, she turned the cake over onto a delicate serving platter, unmolding it from the cake pan, and walked away.
And Mittens the Cat, hypnotized by the psychedelic array of pastry swirls, leapt onto the counter and had her feline way with my gorgeous gåteau d'anniversaire. And when she was done gorging herself, batted it to the floor. The little shit.
Cats don't frequent my shop kitchen, so I can't blame them for my myriad disasters. I'm the resident nitwit and destroyer of all things layered. Ann's brother's coconut cream birthday cake? The one where I unmolded the three tall layers, turned for a millisecond to grab the buttercream, only to turn back and ask myself, "Wait, I thought I made a three layer cake." Aha, the top two had slid to the floor. The carrot cake that pirhoutted off the spinning cake decorating wheel because I was getting all cocky about my mad icing skills and tried to get fancy. The pumpkin mousse that I released from it's metal housing about an hour before it was completely set, so that when I transferred that beautiful mass of orange creaminess, the relatively liquidy insides started to break free of the more stable perimeter, not unlike the goings on around Mittens the Cat and her hernia. Those catastrophes are all me.
But I also get it right. This morning the pumpkin mousse came out splendidly, thank you very much.
So in honor of my lovely mother who did her best despite Mittens the Cat, in honor of me not screwing up today and in honor of Mittens the Cat just because; here's a lovely pumpkin mousse recipe. Don't screw it up.
PUMPKIN SPICE MOUSSE CAKE with a FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE GINGERBREAD CAKE BOTTOM
For the Cake Layer
½ pound butter
½ pound good quality bittersweet chocolate
¾ cup sugar
½ cup cocoa
6 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger and nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
pinch salt
Preheat oven to 325
Atop a saucepan with simmering water (bain marie), place the butter and chocolate in a metal bowl and melt. In the meantime, in the bowl of an electric mixer, add eggs and dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Slowly add melted chocolate with the mixer on slow. Transfer batter to an 8" cake pan so that it's a little less than ½ inch thick. You'll have batter left over. Make another cake. Make little flourless cakes. But don't use it all for the base of THIS cake. Bake at 325 for 10 to 15 minutes. Check it often. It tends to bubble up in a shocking manner. Don't let that worry you. Just make sure its cooked through and let it cool. It will look normal once it cools.
For the Mousse
1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
5 egg whites
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
½ cup mascarpone cheese
3 teaspoons gelatin sprinkled on top of 2 tablespoons of water in a microwavable bowl
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
In a metal bowl of an electric mixer, add egg whites and sugar. Whisk this mixture on top of a simmering bain marie until the sugar is melted (dip your finger in the mixture and rub to see if particles remain) and until the temperature has reached 160 degrees to destroy all harmful bacteria. But you better whisk this constantly because you'll get scrambled eggs otherwise. Once you've reached temperature, transfer the bowl to the electric mixer and mix until the meringue has doubled to tripled and is a thick white cloud of stiff goodness. Transfer the meringue to a metal bowl and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone and the whipped cream and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the egg whites and set aside in the fridge.
In the meantime, once your gelatin looks nice and soggy, place in a microwave and nuke for about 9 to 11 seconds at a time. Take it out between each blast and swirl it around. You want to make sure it is completely melted but you don't want to kill the gelatin. So just do this in short increments.
Stir the spices into the pumpkin purée. Add a small amount of the pumpkin to the melted gelatin to temper it. Combine the remaining purée with the gelatin mixture quickly and then gently fold the chilled egg white/whipped cream mixture into completely combined. Transfer the mousse to the prepared cake lined cake pan. Smooth out the top with an offset spatula and let this set OVERNIGHT DAMMIT! Or put it in the freezer to go more quickly but make for damn sure it's set in the middle. But also make sure not to serve completely frozen. And keep this away from cats.

Rumors about Mayan doomsday prediction swirl at Richland High School
Police officers will be on the Richland High School campus tomorrow -- after rumors that there could be guns and violence at the school.
Tomorrow is the Mayan prediction for the end of the world.
Students at Richland High School tell us they have been hearing rumors all day about students bringing weapons to school tomorrow.
Some say they're not worried about the rumors, but other students tell us they're concerned.
Richland High Shool senior Asya Gubskaya says tomorrow, she might stay away from school.
"I'm actually thinking about not coming to school tomorrow" said Gubskaya.
The Mayan end-of-the-world doomsday prediction for tomorrow has spawned rumors worldwide that violence will break out everywhere, and people must protect themselves with guns.
And these same rumors are spreading at Richland High School.
"I've heard that some kid or some kids are gonna be coming to school on Friday and probably gonna shoot up the school or something like that" said Elvis Espinoza.
School administrators looked into the rumors as soon as they started swirling, and found them to be hoaxes.
"All the talk at Richland High was investigated by the Richland High administration and by the police. And so there was nothing credible as far as any of those threats go" said Steve Aagard, Richland School District.
This afternoon, the Richland School Board held a special meeting to discuss safety measures in place for students.
This meeting wasn't in response to today's rumors, but was meant to review emergency procedures in light of the shooting in Connecticut.
Police say the school district does a good job holding drills and going over safety procedures, but there is always room for improvement.
"The whole looking into the future and saying on this day, at this time, this person is gonna commit this act, we're not so good at. And so we're trying to develop skill sets to get us closer to that predictability. But right now, because of human behavior, it's incredibly unpredictable" said Cpt. Mike Cobb.
Some Richland High School students say they're not worried about tomorrow's doomsday prediction.
In fact, many feel safe at the school.
"There's a lot of cops here and a lot of teachers and staff that are on it right now. So I'm not really scared about that" said Espinoza.
School administrators say if you know or hear of anything that may be happening tomorrow, call the district and police.
Pasco School District administrators have also posted a message on the district's website for parents today stating the district is launching an assessment of its safety and security procedures, and will bring in outside safety evaluators in January as part of that review.

And another detail photo to try to share the fabric with you.
I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I used to "suture for a living", I continue "to live to sew". These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public.

Oooh, I love a patterned background in an Irish Chain! I like that yours is a woven effect, and a pink/green combo always makes me smile.
I like the quilting pattern a lot; this is how I quilted a trip-around-the-world baby quilt this sprint and I liked how it went fast with no marking. I completely forgot to take a picture of it but maybe I will see if the new owner can send me one. FAMOUS LAST WORDS. ;o)))
Wow! That's is beautiful. I love the way that you mixed and matched and made a very traditional quilt pattern that retains it's traditions and expresses the new! Good Job!
What a gorgeous quilt! I've been meaning to comment on the beautiful quilts for a while now, and that lacy scarf you made a while back.
Keep up the great work - I'm sure everyone who has one of your quilts/sewing projects knows it is a labor of love.
Ramona, I think all of your quilts are beautiful, but this one is especially fetching. I love the greens with pink, weird and unexpected but really appealing combination. Also, whoa, little shamrocks in the quilting!? That is lovely! Envy you, your quilting talents!
Another fabulous quilt. The use of colours makes the impact both strong and gentle all at the same time. And I love that you included clover too - pure genius! Well done, it's a stunner.
Very nice pattern Ramona. It's nice on the eyes. Despite the pink :)
This is beautiful! The color combination, the symmetry, the beautiful patterns..its just lovely. Your friend will be very proud. :)
Thank you all. I've always like the combination of pink and green.

Last year, Brea Grant went off and made a movie called Best Friends Forever, we talked to her about it, and you guys helped her finish it through Kickstarter. In terms of wearing hats, Brea pretty much wore them all on this one by co-writing, co-starring, producing and directing this film about a road trip through the apocalypse. We're very happy to see that Brea has not only finished her film, but it is an official selection at the Sundance-alternative film fest Slamdance in Park City, Utah. Indiewire has the first look at the trailer and the film makes its debut on Saturday, January 19th.
First Look at Brea Grant's "Best Friends Forever"
This looks really awesome! Excited to see it… 🙂
It's interesting, I make shorts with my friends too and we are also focused on female friendship…I feel like in LA we expect to be in competition with other girls when the other girls are really cool…intelligent, love movies, well rounded, alive and fun, They're people I want to be friends with and by supporting each other and making our own stuff we don't have to conform and get stuck in a guy's view of what a girl is. (Once I started making stuff I realized how easy it is to get stuck in only your worldview, thinking of men as props, and am learning how not to get stuck there but it may take a while.) It's always good to see women making movies…the more we make the better we get.

New documents uncovered by ESPN's Outside the Lines could link Ryan Braun to performance-enhancing drugs from the Biogenesis labs.
A handwritten list of players in Biogenesis founder Anthony Bosch's hand includes Braun immediately below Melky Cabrera, who was suspended after testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone in August. Braun had been tied to the labs before, in documents found by Yahoo Sports, but he released a statement at the time of the report claiming he and his legal team had used Bosch as a consultant during Braun's successful appeal of a positive test in 2011.
BRAUN: Stands by comments, wants to talk baseball
The new list is by no means definitive proof that Biogenesis supplied Braun with banned substances, but according to ESPN.com, a person familiar with the document said, "there is no other reason to be on that paper."
At the Milwaukee Brewers' camp on Friday, Braun did not answer any questions regarding his alleged involvement with Biogenesis.
"I understand why a lot of you guys are probably here, but I made a statement last week, I stand behind that statement and I'm not going to address that issue any further," Braun said. "As I stated, I am happy to cooperate fully with any investigation into this matter.

mmm cookies!ReplyDelete
oh nice, I happen to have some molasses I need to use upReplyDelete
Yum, these sound so good! I sat on a panel with Dinner with Julie at BlogWest and at one point we were talking about food photography. She said one of the easiest things you can do to make your food pictures look great is to always take your pictures in natural daylight. There are even "daylight" lightbulbs you can get just for that if you always cook by night!ReplyDelete
oooh those look yummy! I will have to go check those out. Thanks for linking up with Our Journey this week ;)ReplyDelete

(January 20) Today we're celebrating . . . The Sign of Aquarius
The Sign of Aquarius
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius, the age of Aquarius, Aquarius! Aquarius!…
Aquarius is the astrological sign which runs from January 20 to February 19.
Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the Zodiac and associated with future ideas and the unusual. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have leadership qualities with creative, challenging, entertaining, progressive, stimulating, and independent character, but one which is also prone to rebelliousness, coldness, erraticism, and impracticality.*
(Video: Fifth Dimension signing "Aquarius / Let the Sun Shine In " from 1969. Lyrics after the jump)
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
*source: wikipedia: Aquarius (astrology)

There's been some confusion as of late surrounding the 2012 W-2 form changes and the purpose behind such a change.
The following outlines what's new, what it means for your 2012 tax return and what it means for you going forward.
Changes to your 2012 W-2 forms
As a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, employers are now required to include health care coverage costs on employee's 2012 W-2 forms.
The amount in Box 12, code DD, is the sum of what you and your employer pay for your health insurance coverage.
This amount does not impact your 2012 taxable income.
Not all 2012 W-2 forms will have the change
The IRS announced that employers with 250 or less employees are exempt in 2012 and will have an extra year to comply, so those employees may not see the W-2 form changes until their 2013 W-2's are issued.
Why is this information being added?
Knowing the cost of your existing employer-sponsored health care coverage is helpful to you in the event you need to purchase a health insurance policy in 2014.
The Affordable Care Act, aka "ObamaCare" requires all Americans to carry or obtain qualifying health insurance coverage or face a fine for non-compliance. As part of the Act, the government wants to assure all Americans have access to affordable health insurance.
This reporting is for informational purposes only, to let you know the value of your health care benefits so you can be a more informed consumer.

Marina is located in the southeastern portion of Pope County along a scenic
stretch of the Ohio River at Golconda. The 274-acre site is a full-service
boat marina with 206 slips. The marina serves as the gateway to the Smithland
Pool area of the Ohio River. Smithland Pool, a 23,000-acre recreational
area of fingered tributaries off the Ohio River, is recognized as one
of the finest fishing and boating areas in the nation.
Golconda Marina marks the culmination of a concerted effort by several conservation
groups to bring a recreational service facility to Golconda. Originally
developed as a project of the Lusk Conservancy District, and completed
under a joint venture between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the
Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Golconda Marina opened in the
spring of 1988 as a multi-million dollar facility. It is one of the more
modern marinas on the Ohio River.
site where the marina is located was created in 1937 when barrow dirt
from this area was used to build the flood wall around the town of Golconda.
The resulting pit formed a water impoundment area that offered excellent
trapping and fishing opportunities.
large bluff located on the north side of the marina is called Rauchfuss
Hill. The site also has been known as Steamboat Hill, because it offers
the best location to watch boats go up and down the Ohio River.
The U.S. Forest Service acquired the bluff and built a camping
area overlooking the Ohio River; the site now is owned by the Department
of Natural Resources. This area offers a picnic area and a hiking trail
up the historic steps on the south bluff, which is registered with the
National Historical Society.
hiking trail will be built off the old railroad bed which is 3,300 feet
long. This trail will be rebuilt up the east slope this winter by the
Ohio River
federal government, which has primary jurisdiction in the Smithland Lock
and Dam project, leased land and water acreage to the state
in 1985 for public park and recreational purposes. The area includes
boat ramps, an access road, a parking lot andthe marina operatied by a private
Smithland Pool was formed in 1980 upon completion of the Smithland Navigation
Project at Hamletsburg. The pool is more than 72 miles long, from north
of the Smithland Lock on the Ohio River to the Uniontown Lock.
surface of the Pool is 23,000 acres. There is easy, deep-water access
to Evansville, IN (110 miles), Kentucky Lake (56 miles), Barkley Lake
(54 miles) and Mobile, AL (655 miles).
boaters find the miles of shoreline, numerous islands and deep, clean
water of the Smithland Pool provide excellent fishing and endless hours
of skiing and boating pleasure.

It was a historic week for the Huntington/Cleveland Irrigation Company as the first sprinklers came on and began watering the fields in Lawrence.
Wade Nielson was the first farmer to bring his sprinklers on line followed by Ted Curtis. The water is there and the onfarm work just needs to be completed so each farmer can come on line. Many irrigation company members were on hand to watch the sprinklers commence to spray. Larry Perkins from JUB Engineering in Orem has been instrumental in the design of the project. Perkins said everyone on the Huntington side can connect right now if they are ready and everyone on the Elmo side will be able to connect within a week and a half.
This will be the first year with the sprinklers, but during the project farmers could still flood irrigate their land.
County Economic Development Director, Mike McCandless said, "The development of the irrigation project on the north end of the county is perhaps one of the most important infrastructure projects in the history of the county. In addition to the significant amounts of construction money that is being spent, the long term effects will be evident for decades. Water management and conservation are issues that will only become more important in the future. This positions Emery County at the forefront of these issues."
Perkins said, "We are observing the first signs of success for the new Huntington Cleveland Pressure Irrigation Project. It wasn't a great show, but we are very excited to see the first sprinklers actually spraying water on our fields. By the end of the day on May 5 we had three long wheel lines working very well - just as planned for. It is very exciting for the farmers to find out that, after all the challenges and waiting, the system really is going to work. We are going to try and have all the producers in the Buffalo area on line in the next week or so and be able to demonstrate what the system will look like when a large area of farmland is being irrigated at the same time."
Curtis one of the farmers who has anxiously awaited the sprinklers said, "I feel good about it. As I was waiting for the water to come up I was thinking I wish Richard Snowball was here to see it. This was Richard's dream. There have been a lot of people who have done a lot of work on this. It's been a lot of hard work and there have been a lot of big obstacles to overcome and there is still a lot ahead of us. The farmers are coming on sometimes three or four a day. Sometimes more than that. I've never done this before, (operating sprinklers) so this is all new to me. But, I've had mine running non-stop since they came up. I've had no trouble with them. There's been a long line of people working on this. Dennis Ward was instrumental in helping this project. Things are happening now and will continue to happen until it's done," said Curtis.
The $47.8 million salinity project was in the funding process for several years and this is a big step for the project to actually begin watering by sprinkler.
At a recent Huntington/Cleveland membership meeting Perkins gave an update on 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.
The main feeder lines on Phase I 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 users 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 questions 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.
