Abraham Lincoln, then 47, came to Sterling to speak at a rally for presidential candidate, John C. Fremont. On July 18, 1856, a twist of fate brought Mr. Lincoln to the home of Sheriff William Manahan to spend the night. He slept on a sofa with two chairs placed at its end to accommodate his long legs. In the morning he graciously thanked his host and left Sterling and the rest is history! The home has been restored and its interior, furnishings, and facade reflect the time when Lincoln visited in the late 1850s.

Henrico's Top Teachers – E. Scott Broderick
Ridge E.S., fourth grade
As a self-professed "career switcher," E. Scott Broderick spent years in a variety of sales and management positions.
But even before he followed his heart to teaching, as he puts it, he always found ways to be involved with children, whether through volunteer work or his hobby: performing as an amateur magician at local libraries.
Although he recalls no "light bulb moments" of inspiration to be a teacher, he does have fond memories of all his elementary teachers – from the first grade teacher who was also a neighbor and the second grade teacher who instilled a love of music to later teachers who taught him to love reading and writing.
What's more, he admits that teaching is probably in his blood, since his father (who went on to become a principal and superintendent) was his physical education teacher while he was growing up.
Today, as a fourth grade teacher, he finds the toughest classroom challenge is engagement, which he describes as "finding fun ways to get your point across so that it will be understood and retained by everyone."
A long-time Ridge Elementary parent who has had a child in his class calls Broderick's teaching style "amazing" and says he excels at getting his point across and at engaging his students through conversation.
Not only does he display genuine interest in what interests students, wrote the parent in her nomination, but he also taps that knowledge in ways that inspire them to succeed.
"Mr. Broderick is never one to be comfortable with his technique," she said. "He is always looking for new strategies and technologies to make sure that each child is reached."
Her own child learned from Broderick how to use creative writing to express herself, said the parent, and also acquired a love of Virginia history that has enhanced the education of the entire family.
"We often take day trips," said the mother, "to places she has discovered through her learning in school."
The student's mother also observed as Broderick's patience and firmness with a difficult classmate of her daughter's turned that student around. Although the boy's behavior was "erratic" and a source of frequent disturbances, she said, "[Broderick] held the bar high and yet taught the child that he had the ability to reach it.
"Mr. Broderick learned what interested him and used it to motivate the child to learn. I saw this boy develop and grow with every visit I made as a volunteer in class."
Not only does he inspire youth, added the parent, but Broderick also serves as a mentor to fellow teachers and future educators through volunteering as a lead teacher for VCU practicum students, serving as a representative for county and state professional organizations, and participating in mentor-buddy programs.
Over the years, he has also served on committees charged with such tasks as framing the science curriculum, reviewing discovery science and social studies scope and sequence, writing curriculum for fifth grade social studies and developing a fourth grade pacing guide. In addition, he has served as a team leader and as sponsor of the safety patrol, and participated on the school-wide Title I committee and the principal's advisory committee.
To top it off, she added, Broderick attends every school event and often helps with PTA programs, from emceeing auctions and talent shows to performing in skits and magic shows.
And what does Broderick receive in return?
Like any teacher, he enjoys seeing the "ah-ha" moments when students make a connection -- shifting from a blank stare at hearing "400 yards" to the glimmer of understanding when he explains the distance as four football fields long. "It's rewarding to see it sink in," says Broderick.
Another teaching moment that never fails to warm his heart, he says, is when students grasp the concept that "work ethic is tied to success – and then apply it in class."
Finally, as the parent of a new kindergartner who enjoys seeing his daughter go eagerly off to school, he especially likes to hear from a parent that their child enjoys coming to school.
"Teaching is its own reward," says Broderick. "It is important not only to like kids, but also to like making a difference in their lives.
"There is a distinction."

With all the international news on Goblin Valley that has occurred lately, let's take another look at Goblin Valley. How many of you have been there? If you haven't been there you should really go, and if you have been there you should go again. You are missing a lot. We so often take for granted that which is close to home. I know I have been guilty of that. After Melon Days as my husband and I were taking Buddy Jewell and his wife Tene' back to the airport she leaned over to me and asked, "Do you ever get tired of looking at this scenery?"
Did you know that in the late 1920s Arthur Chaffin, who later became the owner/operator of Hite Ferry, was looking for an alternate route between Green River and Caineville. He called it Mushroom Valley. He wasn't the first to discover Goblin Valley, but because of him and his photographs he took when he returned in 1949 it became a popular destination. In 1954 it was proposed that it needed to be protected from vandalism, ironically enough. The State of Utah acquired the property and established it as Goblin Valley State Reserve. Then it officially became a state park on August 24, 1964.
Goblin Valley consists of the unexpected and spectacular. I visited with Sarah Siefken, who is the manager for Goblin Valley and Green River State Park. She has a wealth of information about the area here in southern Emery County. So I would like to recap my conversation with her for you.
The geological name for the formations is Hoodoos, but the common name is Goblins. They are Jurassic rock formations that are 170 million years old. It was a muddy tidal flat along an inland sea. It deposited mud, sand and silt. Sandstone is the cap rock and it doesn't erode rapidly compared to the pedestal that is mudstone, siltstone and shale which are highly erosive. So Goblin Valley is still a work in progress.
The classic visit to Goblin Valley would probably consist of visiting Observation Point and Little Wild Horse Canyon. It can be done in about a day. So the classic visit is a great starting point, but if you have been there and done that there is a lot more out there. There are caves to explore, trails to hike, slot canyons to go through, just to scratch the surface.
So if you are looking for more than the classic trip to Goblin Valley, Sarah told me about three caves that are made up of Goblins. They are along the backside of the Goblins. The largest is the Goblins Lair and they have guided hikes out to the Lair in the spring and fall. There are two other smaller caves one is by White Dome just before Second Valley and the third one you would have to ask directions to since it is not by any popular landmarks.
Slot canyons are fun and there are quite a few out there. The most popular is Little Wild Horse Canyon and if you combine it with Bell Canyon it makes an eight mile loop. Ding and Dang Canyons are a little trickier and require some basic climbing moves, but totally fun and doable. Crack Canyon is a great slot canyon and it is not as busy as Little Wild Horse so if you visit it, you won't have to wait for people to go through when it is busy.
There are the beginnings of new things going on out there. They just opened up repelling into the Goblins Lair. There is a sling on a rock that you can hook to but other than that you need your own equipment. They are working on putting in a mountain bike trail, so that will be great. Also they are going to be starting a Night Sky program which will include star parties, constellation identification and full moon hikes. They are in the process of getting certified and hope to begin in the spring.
There are two full time rangers now and they will have more staff come spring. The fee to get into the park is $8 per vehicle up to eight people and that is all year long. It is $18 to camp in the summer and winter and $20 in the spring and fall which is the best times temperature wise to visit. A Yurt costs $60 to rent a night and it has bunk beds and if you visit in the winter with snow on the ground you can see the goblins capped with snow and then go stay in a Yurt and blast the heater.
The website is goblinvalley.utah.gov and you can make reservations on the website also. Sarah said that it looks best at sunset.
So back to the question Tene' asked me, I never get tired of the scenery around here. Absolutely not. We live in the most beautiful and diverse county/state, you could ask for, so make your plans and let's get out and see it.

Compare and Contrast: The Death of Hockey
Jonathan Willis
August 10 2009 01:29PM
Adam Proteau of The Hockey News saw the same study on the demise of hockey in Canada that I did, but his view is slightly different from mine.
Shocked? Mortified, even? You shouldn't be if you've read my rants over the years. Bibby identifies the same factors – the change effected by immigrants from countries where hockey isn't embedded in the citizenry; and the vast and ever-expanding amount of entertainment options, televised or otherwise, now available to consumers – I've noted for as long as I've been with THN.
In other words, I think a lot of Bibby's findings can be rather easily explained away, and I find it rather more likely that his conclusions about the demise of the sport stem from either a) personal feeling or b) the desire to generate some publicity for his work. Regardless, the data certainly isn't firm enough for the sweeping generalizations that he makes.
I suggest reading both articles and comparing the findings; I see a sociologist craving a little publicity for his new book, while Proteau sees validation for his "rants" over the years.
Let's assume for a moment though, that Proteau is right and I'm wrong. Here's what Proteau suggests to combat this apparent decline in interest in the sport:
To believe the future of sports in Canada will play out as the present has – with hockey on top and all other disposable-income options in its slipstream – is the height of dominant-culture arrogance. Massive and multiple investments in the infrastructure of the game (i.e. building new arenas, making it more affordable and welcoming to different ethnicities) are absolutely paramount in addressing problems that Bibby's studies show already are taking their toll.
Those are fine suggestions, I'm sure, although Proteau leaves out exactly how they're supposed to be accomplished. For example – how does one a) invest a bunch of money in new buildings while b) make hockey more affordable? I'm not sure what things are like in Toronto, but from what I've seen whenever new arenas get built the price to play in them is through the roof. The only way around that obstacle that I can see is have public money thrown into new arenas – something that is already happening around the country (in my hometown, for example, a new arena is being completed as I write this, at a tremendous cost to taxpayers).
Thinks like welcoming "different ethnicities" are always a good idea, but are rather difficult to implement in practice.
Perhaps I'm being overly harsh to Proteau (if you think so, please chime in below) but I see his interpretation of Bibby's work as an act of self-congratulation, and I see his suggestions as vague and (as currently structured) useless.
Further (and as a request for the comments section) I've been browsing through Proteau's work over the past year (both his blog and his columns) and while he's often critical of the NHL, I haven't been able to find much in line with what he says he's been arguing for years. The best piece I've found so far is this September 2008 column which argues in favour of continued debate on the game. If anyone has seen specific articles of Proteau's, further detailing the three suggestions I criticized above, please pass it along.
~Sounds like the only solution to this problem is a little ethnic cleansing~
Eklunds source!
@ Hemmertime: This handy tool will sure help out his a$$. That thing must be sore from his constant rumour investigations.
~Its a Sociologist. In other words he came up with a theory, got a few stats vaguely on topic and Wow! its scientific~
I ~love~ those stats on the popularity of NHL hockey in each city in 2008. We need to control for the time of year, and the success of the team that year and recent years. Chicago would have had low interest 4 years ago compared to last year.
Wow, and a Calgary Montreal final series was of more interest to Canadians than an all American final. Go figure.
I would agree that enrollment for minor hockey players is down from 30+ years ago when I was a kid. This is just from the experience I had with my own kids. This might have a negative affect on NHL support. Hmm, maybe I could do a study...and write a book...
Hockey dead in Canada???? It's more like the NHL is dying in Canada. In my opinion, it has more to do with the state of the league and how it's been run in the last 10 years. As for the inmigration issue, all you have to do is look at the Hedo signing with the raptors in the NBA. He chose that city because his wife found it to be a cosmopolitan city. But, do you think that hockey and the Maple Leafs are on the decline in the city and the province of Ontario where by the way they are trying to bring another franchise to one of the cities????
Also, has the number of youngsters who look to become pros declined in the last 10 years?? It's the game that is on decline, it's the "most important hockey league in the world" that has forced the decline and is in decline. ON another note...GOOOOOOOOOOO OILERSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!1

That's priceless. Two clicks in, I got an e2:
"According to sources within the Buffalo Sabres organisation, the Edmonton Oilers are willing to part with RW Ales Hemsky to obtain the services of RW Ales Kotalik. Remember, you heard it here first!"
That is a sweet website.
Viewership of this year's Stanley Cup finals peaked at 3.5 million for Game 7--a healthy draw, but a fraction of the population. Previously, Stanley Cup games have garnered as many as 4.96 million viewers, as was the case in the 1994 faceoff between Vancouver and New York, or the 4.79 million Canadians who tuned into the Calgary-Montreal final 20 years ago.
A hockey game between two American teams garnered fewer views in Canada than a game involving a Canadian team??? Goodness gracious!
It's hard for me to believe that interest in hockey is in decline, particularly when the level of dedicated interest online seems to border on the insane. TSN's hockey coverage gets more intense almost every year (with the possible exception of the Free Agent Frenzy when the executives seemed to realize their coverage was more than what was required).
I read an article in the Journal a couple weeks ago about the burgeoning state of ball hockey in Edmonton. The sport has exploded, with two league sharing a healthy level a participation so much so that the Edmonton Ball Hockey League is turning the Golf Dome into a ball hockey arena.
I've played in both these league and I see a lot of south asian folks playing, in fact if memory serves I believe there's a team made up entirely of south asians. I know not whether these guys are first or second generation Canadians, but it certainly suggests to me that the sport catches on with different elasticities.
Also, it's worth pointing out that ball hockey is cheap, you don't need a lot of equipment to play, so it's very, very accessible. Sounds to me like we're well on our way to preserving the sport as number one in Canada. Hockey isn't going anywhere.
Umm . . . my spell check put elasticities in . . . it should saw ethnicities.
Your articles are strenous and difficult to read I will stick to Gregors and Brownlees because thier reading seems to flow easier.
Another good read Jon, thank you.
We can't seem to build enough arenas to keep up with the demand - isn't that enough said?
Ice hockey may remain a middle/upper class sport to play, but it will always be king in Canada.
August 10 2009, 05:57PM
@ Bob Cob:
I'm sorry to hear that my articles are above your level of comprehension; I'm a little surprised to learn that Gregor's and Brownlee's aren't.
@ Jonathan Willis: Dont get defensive man, I just find that Brownlee and Gregor are easier reads. Like I said, the way that they write flows better.
August 10 2009, 08:36PM
@ Bob Cob:
What sort of reaction were you expecting, Bob?
In any case, YMMV.
@ Jonathan Willis:
Whoa Willis! What the heck is your problem man? You always have to "say something" when someone makes an overly critical and nonsensical comment about your articles. I always thought this was a place where people could come, and rip on the writers for no reason at all without fear of any backlash. Maybe you should stick to writing insightful and interesting articles.
In the mean time Bob Cob and I will be out back sticking our dinks in gopher holes and sniffing ether.

Proteau's article on Bibby's study suggests that NHL viewership is on the decline because the number of kids playing the game has dropped.
I'm not certain that at this point in time that the number of viewers watching NHL hockey in Canada has declined. But I think there are way less kids playing the game today (real hockey on skates, not ball hockey etc) then compared to the 60s, 70s & 80s.
The game is too costly for many middle to lower income families today. Nike, Reebok and the others pay big money to today's stars to promote their products and recoup these costs by charging outrageous amounts for their equipment to the little guy.
Also, nobody plays hockey outdoors anymore, only inside indoor arenas which are more costly to build. In turn, arena's too charge top dollar to rent ice, which in turn has parents digging deeper into their pockets along with costly fees by minor hockey orgs.
In my days (70s & 80s) we had community clubs with three or four outdoor rinks (in addition to indoor arenas used for games) that were always packed with teams practicing, league games or just kids out playing a fun game on free ice - all night long!
Today, you see some community leagues with no outdoor rinks in the winter, or just one where you might occasionally see a couple of kids out for a skate. It's kind of sad. Kids are more likely to be at home playing video games or in a mall texting one another!
Perhaps if the decline continues it may have an affect in years to come.
August 11 2009, 01:28AM
this isnt uncommon in "science" where people take bad data or dont develop full analysis with the data for career purposes, etc...
it happens A LOT. you can comb through the science section and see crappy sociobiology / evolutionary psychology books that do this same sort of crap so dudes can make a buck on book sales from their crappy career choices.
unless this dude takes on hard data sets that tells WHY it died other than just stupid Nielsen ratings, im not impressed. its shoddy "science" and needs to be thrown in the scien-tainement (aka junk) pile.
I agree with the general idea of the study, that there isn't as much interest in hockey. I would say most (not all) of my friends aged 20-30 have a passing interest at best in hockey. Yes, I have some diehard fans in my group of friends, but if I took my 20 best friends, I'd guess only 5 of them are diehards. The rest are casual viewers, if that. All the rest of my buddies are huge into the NFL or NBA. Which makes some sense when you consider 20 years ago, NFL and NBA games weren't nearly as prevalent as they are today on Canadian TV. With 200 channels, people are going to watch other things.
@ Jonathan Willis: Well, Jon, Can I call you Jon? I guess I was expecting the kind of response I got, you wont make me mad, or get a rise out of me just because I prefer Brownlee and Gregors writing and that is personal opinion. Lots of people like your writing, good for them, its just not for me, I dont like eating liver, some people do, great.

Sources: Beckham, Jr. in serious consideration for Bills at 9
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 8 2014 11:48AM
The 2014 NFL Draft will be here in just a few hours, and the buzz is building around the Buffalo Bills' selection at ninth overall. After speaking with some people around the league, there are a few more layers to add on to what the Bills' draft plans might be.
One of the hottest names in the draft right now is LSU wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr., and one of the biggest proponents of his talents are indeed the Bills. According to league sources, Beckham, Jr. is a player Buffalo is very serious about taking with their ninth overall pick in the event a board plays out a certain way.
If South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson, Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins and Texas A&M offensive tackle Jake Matthews are all off the board as expected, the Bills will take a long, hard look at both Beckham, Jr. and North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron and debate the merits of drafting one versus the other when it gets to their selection, according to sources.
In that scenario, the Bills would also try and feel out a trade down, but very well could be stuck there at ninth overall. If they stay with the pick and both players are on the board and the aforementioned four are all selected, the decision will come down to one of those two according to a source. If they could induce a trade down, Notre Dame offensive tackle Zack Martin remains a potential target.
The interest in Beckham, Jr., which was first pointed out by Peter King of Sports Illustrated, is very real. In fact, there is even some thought that the LSU wideout is the second wide receiver on the Bills' board, behind only Watkins and ahead of Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans. The reasoning behind that is the versatility that both Watkins and Beckham, Jr. would bring to the Bills offense, whereas Evans is more of an outside receiver.
There also has been increased talk that the Bills are interested in the first or second overall selections to take Jadeveon Clowney or Greg Robinson. After hearing throughout the process when the rumor first started in March that the Bills actually wouldn't do a trade like that for one of those players, those same sentiments were once again reaffirmed. Sources to WGR have said that a trade up to that level is not expected, and would not be for one of those two players.
However, a trade up the order is not out of line if one player in particular falls down the order. Sammy Watkins continues to be the apple of their eye, and if he falls in the area of the fourth or fifth pick, the Bills will look into seeing what it takes to move up to secure his services according to a source. The problem with that is there will likely be many suitors, so much so that Cleveland (4) or Oakland (5) can auction the pick off to the highest bidder if they so choose.
The other name to not rule out in a potential trade up is Jake Matthews, but the Bills would likely have less motivation to move up that far to secure his services than they would for Watkins. If Matthews is on the board at nine, though, expect him to be the selection.
If the Bills do end up with a receiver in the first round of the draft, Buffalo will then likely look to immediately see what they can get for wide receiver Stevie Johnson in terms of draft picks, according to sources. With his increasing cap number, it isn't likely that Johnson stays on with the Bills past this season, meaning the drafting of a receiver would likely fast forward the clock on his potential departure from the team.
The Bills hold the ninth overall pick in tonight's draft. It all begins at 8 pm, with live coverage and pick analysis on WGR Sports Radio 550.

Ask the Doc :: Talk to the Fist
Dear Dr. Jason,
How risky is fisting?
Doctor Jason's Response:
Fisting can be quite risky if not done cautiously. First off, a significant amount of lubrication is required; you can never have too much. Secondly, protection--such as a latex-free glove--should be used; it provides protection from infection and injury for both parties. Thirdly, remember the story of the tortoise and the hare; slow and steady win the race.
Advancing immediately to an entire fist without proper preparation can cause physical damage, such as tears in the skin on the outside as well as tears of the rectum, which can cause a significant internal infection. Fisting can increase the pressure within the rectum, which can also cause a tear in the colon, as well as hemorrhoids. Insufficient lubrication can cause small tears in the rectum, thereby increasing the risk of acquiring sexually-transmitted infections, including HIV and Hepatitis. If no protective glove is used, then the fingernails can cause tears too.
Repeated fisting can stretch the natural muscular sphincters of the rectum and anus; these sphincters are necessary to prevent you from having an "accident" with your bowel movements. That's not pretty for anyone. If you develop any pain or bleeding during the act, you should stop immediately. If you develop pain, bleeding, or discharge afterwards, then you should seek medical attention.
Stay healthy,
Doctor Jason

The Holy Great Martyr Demetrius the Myrrh-streamer
The Gospel according to John 15:17-27; 16:1-2
The Lord said to his disciples: "This I command you, to love one another. If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all this they will do to you on my account, because they do not know him who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. It is to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me; and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning. I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God."

Glasgow will travel to Leinster for their PRO12 semi-final after they overcame Connacht 20-3 at the Sportsground in Galway on Friday.
Glasgow will travel to Leinster for their RaboDirect PRO12 semi after beating Connacht 20-3 on Friday.
Warriors coach Gregor Townsend had made nine changes to his side that had already secured a play-off position. Hoping that results elsewhere would go their way, they had to win to have any chance of claiming home advantage in the semis.
It was an emotional night for Connacht's flanker Johnny O'Connor, in his last ever game before retiring from a 146 game career with the province, while coach Eric Elwood also ended his time at the Sportsground after the game.
Candian international DTH van der Merwe wrote his name into the Glasgow record books after 16 minutes, with his 25th try for the Scotstoun outfit. Ruaridh Jackson's conversion, added to his penalty minutes earlier, gave Glasgow a ten-point lead, which was reduced by three as Dan Parks slotted Connacht's first points a minute before the half-time whistle.
The visitors had to defend while being a man down for ten minutes after prop John Welsh was yellow carded halfway through the period, but Connacht couldn't make their numerical advantage pay.
Jackson missed an early second-half opportunity to stretch the lead, as the game entered a period where the hosts gained the upper hand, with Connacht turning the screw on Glasgow.
But Stuart Hogg, buoyed by his inclusion in the forthcoming Lions party, came off the bench to add a penalty after 66 minutes, before the best move of the match came just moments later, as his Lions colleague Sean Maitland crossed the line after evading the desperate lunge of Tiernan O'Halloran. Hogg's conversion from the touchline gave his side a 20-3 lead with ten minutes to play, a scoreline that remained until the final whistle.

Posted on 09/05/2012 6:15:33 PM PDT by scottjewell
A nine-year-old Cub Scout has quit over the Boy Scouts of Americas policy which does not allow any gay member, volunteer or staff member.
Christopher Tiner, of Minot, Maine, had seen in the news that many Eagle Scouts had returned their badges in protest against the exclusion of gay members, volunteers and staff by the Boy Scouts of America.
Scott Tiner, Christophers father, said that the Cub Scout made the decision entirely on his own. Christopher reflected on his position:
I didnt like it that they were kicking people out, he said. I dont think its fair.
Christopher, formerly of pack 139, is reported to be the first scout in Maine to have quit over the controversy, and said that the decision was easy once he thought about it.
Scott, former Scout Leader also commented, saying:
I dont want to have a membership card to an organization that makes it very clear that this is how they feel.

Here's a solution for the Kid, maybe someone can form a "Gay Scouts of America".
Let's see how many Parents allow their kids to join...
This is why they don't form it. They'd rather harass the traditional organization. More fun, more profitable, and gets more media attention.
The kid isn't even old enough to realize that sick grown-up pedophiles only want in so they can molest him. Evidently his parents are also too stupid to see what is going on.
God Bless the Boy Scouts and those who don't wish to belong can make their own decision . It isn't the Scouts that are losing anything.
He's 9 and he think sex is the most important thing in scouting??
There ya' go! Nailed it.
You might be surprised. lol
Set up fake story.
What pisses me off, as a father of 5 sons (not to mention daughters).....this kid was manipulated. He's a freakin' 9 year old who parroted what he was told.
Damn his "parents" and any others who pushed him to this while filling him with such vile garbage....and making it sound oh-so-noble.
Hey Christopher.
I hear they need some towel boys over at Penn State. You and your tolerant attitude should work out fine there.
Hes 9 and he think sex is the most important thing in scouting??
According to his "parents" (activists), I'm sure. ;-)
Wonder how little Christopher would feel if "girlz" wanted to join...
Plus, starting a new organization takes too much work and iniative. Libs would rather take over what conservatives create.
I'll guarantee you this 9-year-old has no idea what "gay" is all about or he wouldn't be making such statements. Shame on this father for using his own son this way to make HIS point.
Right, something very off about this kid's attitude, but then, he's probably been indoctrinated since kindergarten.
perverted parents of course
probably want to send him to nude summer camp too
Millstone. Neck. Deep blue sea.
G'parents are probably Red Diaper Doper Babies.
>> "Lets see how many Parents allow their kids to join..." <<
Cyndi Sheehan?
Why does this have to be national news? Because the major media has an agenda, that's why.
This isn't about equality. This is about taking over and destroying the Boy Scouts of America.
I'll admit, I'm not overly anxious to see homosexuals set up an organization geared toward children, but that's just me.
If there needs to be a kids group geared toward Boy-Scout like things and accepting of homosexuality (something I view to be a contradiction), then let the homosexuals set up their own organization and let parents send their kids there if they want to.
Want to bet that he has two *mothers*?
Life is not fair.
Nah, Penn State will be used as an example of Heterosexuals doing something homosexuals get blamed for. I don't agree with this premise, but you can take it to the bank, that this is precisely what will be claimed.
Male on male activity, is homosexuality, even if a man has a heterosexual family and functions as a straight guy too.
....or two fathers; I won't take that bet.
An overtly homosexual individual ~ whether as a scout or a leader ~ is entirely too disruptive to allow for a normal scouting experience for all the others.
It isn't that they don't fit in, they want to fit in ~ and that's the problem.
If they want to come up with a homosexual scouts organization, fine ~ they going to let the cops go with them on camping trips?
He can join an organization where he can camp with all the gay adults he can stand without needing to see a proctologist.
Memo to 'progressives': Stop enabling the molestation of male children.
How do you know your gay at 9?
He's not even gay, he just wants something to protest, and his dufus father is going along with it.
The lil fag should create his own lil organization and he can have all the degenerate freaks he wants as members.
Of course they do. Otherwise it would be a non-event.
That is why sexualization of children is evil. Even the hippie, Rousseau, knew the importance of keeping children innocent until puberty. They can focus on learning and other more important things like building character and perseverance——once they are sexualized-—their worldview sees everything through the sexual prism and sex is reduced to a mere animal act since they are too immature to deal with the emotional or moral aspects of sex. It corrupts their thinking.
Awe and mystery help to create a healthy interest in the opposite sex-—the schools are destroying it with their Sex Ed which came from Lukacs/Marcuse to collapse Western Civ and kill off God.
The latency period-—5-12 years—is the time where boys prefer to play with boys and girls will prefer to play with girls. Putting sodomy into the schools convinces children this age that they are homosexual because they do not understand natural sexual formation and they do actually (naturally) prefer the same sex. Kids have to learn about self first-—before they can begin to understand the other-—which takes much more maturity and selflessness and experience with simple play and normal interactions with kids. Once sex enters, they see others as sex objects. It destroys their innocence and corrupts all play.
That is why homosexualists like that evil Jerry Brown is indoctrinating CA kids with anal sex in Kindergarten now. 20 years ago, real fathers would have hung him from a tree for putting such sick, evil unnatural ideas into children's heads. He is corrupting an entire generation of children. He is trying to create Afghanistan worldview and destroy Western Civ, esp. Christian Ethics-—the ethics that got rid of sodomy and pederasty in the first place, which was rampant in the entire world until Judeo-Christian Ethics took over the West.
Why do I get the sneaky suspicion that he joined, JUST so he quit because of the "unfairness of the anti-gay rule".
In this You can bet the farm on it!
Just call me cynical.....
Would not be a bit surprised.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Agreed. My little boys (10, 8, 6, 3) don't know a thing about homosexuality.
This poor little boy is being set up for a predator.
The decision was easy once his parents decided to make a political spectacle out of their child.
Yes, rather obvious isn't it?
He should be notified as well as his parents that his is never welcome at a scouting troup again.
Can't kick out people who were not members.
This little attention whore can drop out of scouts if he disagrees, that's fine. There are other scout groups he can join, and be exposed to homosexuals who want to "help" him. Like the lesbian coaches "help" their girls.
If a few more gys quit they'll have enough to start a patrol of Rump Rangers
Recruiting kids among the parents of Minot ought to work out real well
Instead of Wolf Packs, they can have Fudge Packs.

Markosek got his introduction to coal mining at age eight, when his father, the superintendent at the old Kaiser Steel Mine near Sunnyside, let him operate the locomotive engine in the No. 2 mine occasionally on weekends. He began working as a miner in 1968 at Kaiser and took jobs of increasing responsibilty, including fireboss, section foreman, longwall foreman, mine foreman and mine superintendent. His career later took him from Deer Creek, back to Kaiser, then to Cyprus Plateau and Willow Creek. He became a federal mine inspector with the Mine Safety and Health Administration in 1999. He worked in that capacity until he was severely hurt during the rescue attempt at Crandall Canyon Mine in 2007. The incident ended his career in mining and he retired in 2008.

A late James Scaysbrook try saw Exeter Chiefs edge the Scarlets 30-20 in their Heineken Cup clash at Sandy Park on Saturday.
A late James Scaysbrook try saw Exeter Chiefs edge the Scarlets 30-20 in their Heineken Cup clash at Sandy Park on Saturday.
The Chiefs got off to a flying start as Haydn Thomas found Matt Jess on his shoulder after a slick line-out inside the opening five minutes and the winger fed Ian Whitten to sprint over underneath the posts.
The visitors were forced to endure a 10-minute spell down to 14 men soon afterwards as well as Liam Williams was penalised for a high tackle.
And, after Gareth Steenson and Aled Thomas exchanged penalties, the Scarlets found themselves 14 points down when hooker Simon Alcott charged down Thomas' attempted clearance and regathered the ball to score.
James Hanks' sinbinning midway through the first half gave the Welshmen a chance to get a foothold in the game though and, after Thomas had slotted over his second penalty of the day, Ken Owens crashed over from short range to reduce the deficit.
The home side did head into the interval with a seven-point advantage though as Steenson knocked over another penalty with the last meaningful kick of the half to make it 20-13.
But the Scarlets levelled things up just two minutes after the restart through Scott Williams, who scored in the corner after the Exeter defence couldn't handle the pace and power of George North, to set up a nervy second half.
The Chiefs edged ahead again on the hour mark when a period of concerted pressure and several reset scrums ended with Steenson comfortably converting his third penalty of the game.
And that is the way it remained until just two minutes from time as both sides had their fair share of possession and territory but neither was able to make the crucial breakthrough.
Exeter did seal victory at the death though and it was fitting that their influential captain Scaysbrook was the man to do it, picking the ball up from the base of a ruck and spotting a gap in the defence like a good scrum-half before trundling over to make it back-to-back wins over the men from Llanelli.
The scorers:
For Exeter:
Tries: Whitten, Alcott, Scaysbrook
Cons: Steenson 3
Pens: Steenson 3
Yellow card: Hanks
For Scarlets:
Tries: Owens, Scott Williams
Cons: Thomas 2

"Amidst the dizzying array of chopped, looped, and sampled sounds that constitute much of today's electronic music scene, New York City-based producer/musician/gifhead Nick Koenig's work stands alone. Koenig, who performs under the moniker Hot Sugar, relies on his own surroundings and aural intuition to craft entirely original beats from scratch. The process, which he refers to as Associative Music, involves recording found sounds (such as a rat's heartbeat, Hurricane Sandy, a cracking skull) and manipulating them into infectious melodies. The technique requires meticulous skill, risky experimentation (Koenig once admitted to electrocuting himself for the "zapping sounds") and often, an affinity for the eccentric. Since bursting onto the music scene in 2011, Koenig's unorthodox approach and unpredictable instrumentals have caught the attention of rap artists The Roots, Big Baby Gandhi and Das Racist, triggering a string of dream collaborations, a new album, and recently, a big-time Grammy nomination. Koenig filled us in on his latest successes over email, where he signed every message with a far-from-sinister '< 3'." -Bullett

Remember when we started training together? That first two-minute run/one-minute walk sequence was a milestone for you.
In six weeks you've progressed from running a distance of a few blocks to more than two miles. And shortly, you'll be taking the next step: The Advance's Memorial Day Run on May 28.
With that in mind, I'd like to offer some encouragement for your upcoming challenge that draws from ancient philosophy, first-hand experience and the world of advertising.
Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu (604 BC-531 BC) probably never envisioned his "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" message as a motivational tool for runners. But it describes how you've built yourself up week-by-week to enable you to do this four-mile race.
From runner and author John Bingham, who has inspired hundreds of thousands of newbie runners through his books and columns, comes this gem: "The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start."
That same courage exists in you. All you need is to "just do it" as Nike epitomized in its most famous ad campaign.
Week 7
Monday: Walk five minutes (warm-up), run 20 minutes, followed by walking briskly for one minute. Then, run nine minutes and finish with a five-minute walk (cool down).
Tuesday: Repeat Monday's workout.
Wednesday: Walk five minutes (warm-up), run 22 minutes, followed by walking briskly for one minute. Then, run seven minutes and finish with a five-minute walk (cool down).
Thursday: Walk for 35 minutes at a comfortable yet brisk pace.
Friday: Walk five minutes (warm-up), run 24 minutes, followed by walking briskly for one minute. Then, run five minutes and finish with a five-minute walk (cool down).
Saturday: Walk five minutes (warm-up), run 26 minutes, followed by walking briskly for one minute. Then, run three minutes and finish with a five-minute walk (cool down).
Sunday: Rest or walk 30 to 35 minutes at an easy pace (your choice).
Before I end this week's column, I have one last thought on motivational mantras. The saying, "no pain, no gain," which was popularized by Jane Fonda during the aerobics craze of the early 1980s, does not apply here. If you feel any pain during or after a run, stop and take a few days off (see advice from my week four column).
Next week, we'll discuss race day jitters and some practical ways to overcome them.
Dr. Theodore Strange is the associate chair of medicine and vice president of medical operations at Staten Island University Hospital South. The hospital is a corporate sponsor and partner with the Advance for the Memorial Day Run. Both organizations encourage Islanders to get in shape and run the race on May 28.

"These are not wide calf. I wish I'd noticed the 15" circumference before ordering. Traditional wide calf boots are 16" plus. They're also kind of cheap looking for their price, but otherwise super adorable. They felt comfortable except for not being able to even try and zip them up....and I'm on the smaller size of "wide calf""

"I was so excited to receive these shoes in the mail. I have slightly wide calves so I bought these thinking that they would be perfect since the calf circumfrance stated in the description is the size of my calf. Unfortunately, they are still too tight. They also run a little short. I wear 9.5 and these boots barely fit lengthwise. I'm so sad to take them back. Maybe I will try a size up and see if that helps."

Ferron City has beautification on its mind as residents have been helping with various improvement projects around the city. The clean-up day was a success as the Mayor's Park was cleaned and the gutters along the city streets. The red was repainted at all of the intersections. The Ferron youth council helped with the clean-up. A new baseball field has been prepared on the junior high grounds and is ready for teams to use for practices.
Trent Jackson said the baseball field has been a real team effort as individuals around the city have worked to make the field usable by dragging the infield and now it's ready for the bases. Jackson said they are looking for a grant to put in a new ball field there, but for now they are thankful for the improvements which have been made. Benches will also be installed behind the backstop for the players to sit on. Jackson said the city council is looking at redesigning the city website.
Marvin Garrett will operate the Snack Shack at the Millsite Golf Course throughout the summer months. He will be opening the new business on May 15 at the course. They will have fast food, hamburgers and hot dogs, drinks, candy, etc. and will also operate a snack cart to drive around the golf course to accommodate the golfers on the course.
A junior golf clinic is planned for the golf course and will involve Jordan Leonard, golf pro and the high school golf team as they instruct junior golfers.
Councilman Joe Trenery reported eight new hook-ups for trailers have been installed at the fairgrounds.
Mayor JoAnn Behling reported the work on the Millsite expansion is moving along quickly and top soil is being laid out at two of the new holes. "It's just wonderful to see this project moving along," said Mayor Behling.
Ferron welcomed its newest council member, Garrett Hansen to his first council meeting. He expressed a concern that more information needs to be obtained on the water for the golf course expansion. The engineers need to be more specific to address where the water is coming from. Three new pumps are being installed and those issues need to be addressed.
Ferron City reminds its residents that no outside watering should be done between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to conserve water.
Mayor Behling reported the city closed on the bonds for the golf course expansion.
During the public comment portion of the city meeting one resident wondered if Ferron City has any plans for a skate park. They replied not at the present time. She also raised a question about the dog rules for the town. She wishes these rules to be written in a town newsletter and distributed to remind people not to let their dogs run loose.
Another resident said he has been talking to Price Mayor Joe Piccolo and when Piccolo became mayor there were a number of vacant businesses in Price and now there are only 11 vacant businesses. He believes Piccolo should be consulted about economic development and to follow his suggestions to help Ferron City.
Chanele Atwood from the Castle Country Regional Information Center asked the council for a donation. She said the information center is located in the Prehistoric Museum in Price and supplies tourist information to everyone stopping into the center. She mentioned several partners involved with the financial support of the center and wondered if Ferron would be interested. The council said they would consider making a donation and they are working on their next year's budget now.
Atwood also explained a new project they are involved with which includes an information center at the Buckhorn Flat pump house. The new center will include a restroom and a place where brochures can be distributed. The area will be fenced off and will be manned on the weekends.
Ferron City has been asked to partner with Emery County on the training of EMTs. A possible solution to the EMT shortage might include helping residents become certified by helping out with the expense of taking the training. Currently the training costs $650 and a partnership where the city pays one/third, the trainee, one-third and the county one-third is being looked at. Mayor Behling said they will need more information before a decision can be made, but they said it sounds like a good idea. "We are in desperate need of EMTs to take the training," said Behling.
The council signed a contract with Rocky Mountain power to have street lights installed along 100 East and 200 East from 400 to 600 North. The city will need to dig the trench.
The city council held a work meeting for the budget after their regular meeting. They also had a closed session with their lawyer at the beginning of the meeting to discuss pending litigation.

Amherst College canceled classes and closed all offices Friday for a campus-wide "day of dialogue" to address issues of sexual violence and misconduct. The event was held in response to ongoing concerns over sexual violence on campus, and the college administration's handling of sexual misconduct complaints.
Amherst dedicated the entire day to presentations by sexual assault policy experts, and small-group discussions. President Biddy Martin began addressing sexual misconduct on campus last spring, establishing a committee on sexual discrimination, and hiring sexual assault policy consultant Gina Smith. But this fall, an account of an alleged rape on campus written by former student Angie Epifano and published in the school's newspaper, drew national attention, and sparked calls for more immediate cultural and institutional reform.
Freshman Ben Walker says he thinks the day of dialogue is warranted.
"When you have a problem as widespread, as serious, and as impactful as sexual harassment, it's definitely well within the college's bounds to have a day devoted to talking about it, and it's gone undiscussed for so long."
Fellow freshman Rachel Abernethy feels Amherst is relatively safe, but says sexual violence is an issue on all college campuses.
"It happens everywhere, but sometimes it's more obvious in certain places because we're strong enough to be able to talk about it and have these conversations. So I think Amherst is just trying to do their part right now, and I'm happy to be a part of it."
Professor of English and Black Studies, Rhonda Cobham-Sander, presented at the event, and says discussing sexual respect is just the first step for the college community.
"Now we're going to have to work really hard to sort of come up to a standard that we feel happy with."
Amherst was an all-male college until 1976. The last time it closed to address a social issue on campus was in 1968 to discuss racial inequality.
