The Emery High Lady Spartans won their sixth straight region contest with another blowout win against the North Sanpete Lady Hawks. Final score in the contest was 75-53.
After last weeks big victory over rival Carbon, the coaching staff was just a little anxious that the Lady Spartans might just be satisfied with that win and become just a little complacent this week.
A slow start in this game may have fueled that thought as Emery found themselves behind early in this game as the Hawks got out to a 8-4 lead in the first three minutes of the game.
Even though Emery eventually righted the ship and took the lead at 9-8 on a Jodie Lundell basket, Emery fans were still just a little nervous, as it seemed every rebound was ending up in the hands of North Sanpete. Emery ended with only four first quarter rebounds, including three by Shala Pitchforth. Emery led after that first period 16-13.
All thoughts of negativity disappeared as the second quarter began. Ashley Hansen, despite having been ill the past three days which had deprived her of the want of food, got the Spartans rolling with a 3-point basket. Jodie also hit a 3-pointer the next time down court and the Spartans were off and running.
Ashley then hit three more consecutive shots including another three to lead Emery to a 31-17 lead with just over three minutes gone in the quarter. In those three minutes, Ashley scored 10 points, gathered in 2 rebounds and had a steal. Ashley confided later on that she "did not remember having shot a three-point shot before."
Callie Seeley hit two 3-pointers later in the quarter as Emery continued to roll to a 27-10 second quarter. Emery led after the period 43-23.
Emery continued to play well in the third period as they outscored North Sanpete 15-12 to lead by 23.
North Sanpete scored 14 of the first 18 points of the final period to cut Emery's lead to 13 points at 62-49. Emery's defense lessened their intensity and allowed North Sanpete to have their first open looks at the basket from behind the 3-point line and the Hawks quickly took advantage. The Emery fans started to get just a little nervous at this point.
Camille Fehlberg, who had had a fairly quiet game so far with only 4 points, was inserted back into the line up and led Emery on a 9-0 run to put Emery back up by 22 points. Camille scored 6 points in those two minutes. Each team then scored 4 points each to close out the game.
Ashley tied for leading scorer in the game with Rachel Rasmussen. Rachel had quietly played a steady game as each player ended the game with 12 points. Jodie and Camille also finished in double figures as each player scored 10 points in the contest.
Natalee Hanson continued her comeback as she and Shala each scored 7 points. Shala also finished with a team high nine rebounds and four blocked shots.
Callie and Meagan Pearson each contributed 6 points, Alexis Swasey hit a single 3-pointer and Tahna Merrell had a single basket. Tahna also had at least six rebounds.
All 10 Emery players that normally see playing time scored in the contest and each of them had at least two other individual stats. Emery has several players coming off the bench that could start for other schools.
The Lady Spartans have two home games this week as they will host Juan Diego on Tuesday night and Granite on Thursday night in the Spartan Center. Varsity action begins around 7 p.m.

No one, what a terrible question. they should give good service to all cusotmers.
Mega haunt (A few big orders)
Mid haunt (Many mid sized orders)
Small haunt (Many Small orders)
All the same
Who should venders give better customer service and bend over backwards for?

No one, what a terrible question. they should give good service to all cusotmers.
Orders filled in the order in which they come in,or the order in which you actually have the item , versus having to order it. Unless they bought a Speed Pass!
"Sorry! All you lo-buck clods will have to wait behind my newly crowned Royal customer!"
I've order from a few companies and almost every time they fall way short on customer service and delivery. I'm not looking to cause drama on here so I thank everyone for their honesty and answering this question.
Also.. make sure to see the Part 2 of this question and you'll see who companies are giving the best customer service too.. interesting results....

On Nov. 7 the county voters will have the opportunity to vote on whether or not the county should construct a new Olympic size pool.
The pool would be located in a current parking lot at the Emery High School. I think all of the people who would vote yes for such a project are the ones who can't vote. The little people. Ask any child if he or she thinks a pool is a good idea and chances are they would vote in the affirmative for a pool.
I remember as a young child traveling with my parents once to Arizona. My brother and I wouldn't even let our parents consider staying at a motel that didn't have a pool. We were very insistent that we have the opportunity to swim at the end of a long day of traveling. I remember one trip my friend and I sat in the back seat and repeated pool, pool, pool at least 100 times or more so my parents would catch on that a pool was a necessity.
I am old but I'm sure times haven't changed that much. The Castle Dale pool has been the source of much fun for my family. I began taking the boys there for swimming lessons not long after they learned to walk and they went back every year until they became very proficient swimmers.
Our children in these small communities need the opportunity to learn how to swim. Visitors to our area need the opportunity to take their children swimming while they are in our communities. A pool can be quite an attractive asset to a community and adds to its value.
I am a firm believer in asking for forgiveness and not for permission. If it were up to me which it isn't, I wouldn't put a pool initiative on the ballot. Why give people the opportunity to say no?
I can't figure out why anyone would say no, but there are some people who seem to be against everything anyone tries to do. One reason people might say no is that they don't have small children or teenagers any more and would never use the pool. But so what? If you ever have grandkids they might show up to visit; they could use the pool. Some people might not want a tax increase to pay for the maintenance of the pool; any tax would be minimal. The estimated cost to maintain the pool is between $80,000-100,000 per year. Castle Dale City has already pledged $10,000 a year for 10 years to help with these costs. I expect the other cities on the western side of the county could do the same and help defray costs for the county.
The newspaper has conducted a web survey for the past week with the question being: Would you support the construction of a new olympic size swimming pool in Castle Dale at Emery High School. With 37 voters; 13 had voted no, two were undecided and 22 had voted yes. Like I said before why would anyone vote no?
Even if you don't plan to enjoy a pool yourself, why deprive others of that opportunity with a no vote?
The commissioners have said if the county votes no then they will not pursue a pool against the majority of the county's wishes.
Remember the little people, those with no voice and no vote who would enjoy a cool dip on a hot Emery County summer afternoon.

Andrew Coombs has been named in the Dragons starting line-up to face Bordeaux Bègles in their Amlin Challenge Cup clash.
Captain and lock Andrew Coombs has been named in the Dragons starting line-up to face Bordeaux Bègles in Friday's Amlin Challenge Cup clash.
Coombs will feature alongside fellow Welsh internationals Hallam Amos and Toby Faletau and admits he is eager to get onto the pitch.
"I am really keen to get out on the field now, I am feeling good and I can't wait to play," he told the Dragons website ahead of the Pool fixture.
"The strength and depth we have is fantastic and we've never had that option before when the boys have gone away to Wales camp. To see people like Rob Sidoli play out of their comfort zones and also Talei at number eight is fantastic. Sid comes with a lot of experience so the younger boys are learning a lot from him; he's important to have.
Including the Welsh internationals there have been nine changes to the starting XV. Full-back Dan Evans retains his place at number fifteen. He is joined in the back-three by Matthew Pewtner who moves to right wing as Amos steps back into the fold on the left.
The centre pairing takes on a different shape with Pat Leach and Ashley Smith. Jason Tovey retains his place at number ten and Wayne Evans steps into the scrum-half position.
The front-row sees the return of Hugh Gustafson to his previous position of loosehead prop. Gustafson last started for the Dragons as a prop in 2011 when they took on Edinburgh at Rodney Parade. He is joined by Sam Parry as hooker and Dan Way as tighthead prop.
The second-row sees the return of skipper Coombs and Matthew Screech. Lewis Evans then keeps his place at blindside flanker, with Nic Cudd and British and Irish Lion Faletau making up the rest of the back-row.
"We have to win this home game as it's going to be a tough trip going over there but we are looking for the win," added Coombs.
"We need to play well here and get some confidence and then try for the win away from home. The boys have gained a lot of this already away from home by winning against Glasgow."
Bordeaux know that an away win is essential in keeping them in touch with leaders Bath.
They name Argentina international Joaquim Tuculet at full-back and Samoan wing Robert Lilomaiava in a back-three with Rafael Carballo, while captain Gauthier Gibouin leads from a back-row that includes Poutasi Luafutu and Matthew Graham. Benjamin Sa is tighthead.
Bordeaux are currently tenth in the Top 14.
The teams:
Dragons: 15 Daniel Evans, 14 Matthew Pewtner, 13 Patrick Leach, 12 Ashley Smith, 11 Hallam Amos, 10 Jason Tovey, 9 Wayne Evans, 8 Toby Faletau, 7 Nic Cudd, 6 Lewis Evans, 5 Matthew Screech, 4 Andrew Coombs (capt), 3 Dan Way, 2 Sam Parry, 1 Hugh Gustafson.
Replacements: 16 Elliot Dee, 17 Owen Evans, 18 Nathan Buck, 19 Robert Sidoli, 20 Ieuan Jones, 21 Richie Rees, 22 Kris Burton, 23 Ross Wardle.

Bayonne v Viadana
Bayonne can put the pressure on Pool rivals London Wasps by claiming a bonus-point victory over Viadana in Friday's other Amlin Challenge Cup fixture at Stade Jean-Dauger.
They should have little trouble doing just that after naming a side that includes Martin Bustos-Moyano, Manu Ahotaeiloa, Stephen Brett and captain Dewald Senekal.
Sam Gerber joins Ahotaeiloa in the centre, with Marvin O'Connor completing the back-three alongside Bastien Fuster and full-back Bustos-Moyano. Guillaume Rouet is scrum-half.
The teams:
Bayonne: 15 Martin Bustos Moyano, 14 Bastien Fuster, 13 Manu Ahotaeiloa, 12 Sam Gerber, 11 Marvin O'Connor, 10 Stephen Brett, 9 Guillaume Rouet, 8 Dwayne Haare, 7 Jean Monribot, 6 Guillaume Bernad, 5 Dewald Senekal (capt), 4 Abdellatif Boutaty, 3 Gert Muller, 2 Anthony Etrillard, 1 Aretz Iguiniz.
Replacements: 16 Gregory Arganese, 17 Pierre Philippe Lafond, 18 Nemiah Tialata, 19 Mark Chisholm, 20 Mathieu Belie, 21 Jean-Jo Marmouyet, 22 Julien Puricelli, 23 Matthieu Ugalde.
Viadana: 15 Riccardo Pavan, 14 Nicola Sintich, 13 Gilberto Pavan, 12 Gabriel Pizarro (capt), 11 Anthony Michael Fenner, 10 Keanu John Apperley-Iti, 9 Pietro Travagli, 8 Marco Pelizzari, 7 Andrea Denti, 6 Pietro Moreschi, 5 Matteo Minari, 4 Ruahan Van Jaarsveld, 3 Riccardo Cagna, 2 Luca Bigi, 1 Marco Coletti.

The Barking Lot-America's Finest Dog Blog (06/21/14)
The Barking Lot is a regular weekly feature of This Just In…Written by my lovely wife, Jennifer and me. It opens with the weekend dog walking forecast followed by the main blog from dog lover, Jennifer. Then it's DOGS IN THE NEWS and our close. Enjoy!
THE WEEKEND DOG-WALKING FORECAST: We grade the weather outlook for taking your pet outdoors.
TODAY: Dense fog advisory until 9:00 this morning. Skies will be cloudy in the morning, then mostly cloudy with a 30% chance of isolated storms. Overall, mighty good, but there's that slight chance of rain. High of 79. "B"
SUNDAY: Muggy with a 30% chance of isolated storms before skies become partly cloudy around 4:00. High of 71. "B"
Here's my lovely wife, Jennifer with this week's main blog:
Got a dirty Doberman? A stinky Schnauzer? What about a yucky Yorkie? If your canine is less than clean, and you'd like to support a worthy cause then may I suggest a drive out to Middleton today, with your terrier in tow.
The good news is that Dogtopia, a canine day care, is sponsoring a dog wash to support Paws with a Cause. (PWAC provides service dogs to veterans and others with disabilities.) The bad news is there is only one location in Wisconsin.
Because readers from all over our great state enjoy reading The Barking Lot, there may be people in that area who would love to suds their spaniel for a great charity. I encourage anyone who can to take part in this wash-a-thon.
Dogtopia was founded in Virginia, so it stands to reason there are several locations in that state. Hopefully our Middleton branch will have a successful event. I wish them the very best and look forward to hearing how it went.
Another doggy day care, Central Bark, offers MANY locations in Wisconsin. I know several dog owners who take their fur babies to one of those franchises, and they can't say enough about them. I am happy to see that they take community involvement so seriously. Perhaps if you utilize their daycare services, you could encourage your location to consider a wash event to support PWAC as well.
Again, best of luck to all the locations – particularly Wisconsin's. If you are unable to attend the event but would like to support this worthy endeavor, please consider a donation using the "donate" button on the upper right portion of the page. With the ease of Pay Pal you're on your way to helping those in need.

The Denver Broncos held off a second-half surge from the San Diego Chargers in Saturday's 24-17 win to advance to the AFC Championship Game. Below are grades for each team.
THE Q: Chargers can expect changes
FTW: Broncos mock Philip Rivers
Denver grades
Broncos run offense: Knowshon Moreno and Montee Ball did exactly what Peyton Manning wanted, keeping the offense in phase with steady gains. The tailback duo combined for 134 yards (on 33 carries), a major reason Denver enjoyed an 11-minute time of possession advantage. Grade: B+
Broncos pass offense: No aerial pyrotechnics on this day as Manning guided a conservative, almost plodding attack. But it worked. The presumptive MVP's 230 yards and two TD passes were pedestrian by his lofty standards (his longest completion only went for 21 yards). Still, Denver racked up 26 first downs and played keep-away, turning the table on a Chargers team that employed a similar strategy when it won in this same stadium last month. Wes Welker caught six passes after a five-week hiatus following a second concussion. TE Julius Thomas struggled with a fumble and a drop before converting two huge third downs on Denver's clock-killing drive to end the game. The offensive line was stellar, surrendering zero sacks and just one hit on Manning. Grade: B+
BEER PLEASE: That's all Peyton wanted after win
Broncos run defense: Denver never let San Diego's runners get in gear, limited them to 65 yards on 18 carries and ultimately rendered the Bolts one-dimensional. Grade: A-
Broncos pass defense: They put on a show in the first half, limiting Philip Rivers to 20 passing yards while sacking him three times for 19 yards worth of losses. Yes, the Chargers had 1 net passing yard at halftime, and none of their wideouts had a catch through two quarters. Despite missing Von Miller, the Broncos did sack Rivers four times overall and forced the not-so-mobile vet from the pocket on other occasions. But San Diego picked up the pace after halftime and made a game of it as Rivers and Keenan Allen consistently attacked former San Diego corner Quentin Jammer, who was pressed into a starting role after Chris Harris went down. Grade: B
Broncos special teams: Denver never punted, a pretty good indication of how the Broncos played. Trindon Holliday and Eric Decker made some nifty returns, though Decker slipped on a 47-yard punt run-back, which probably should've produced a touchdown. Matt Prater missed just his second field goal of the season but was his usual reliable self on kickoffs. Grade: B
San Diego grades
Chargers run offense: Unproductive, yes, but Ryan Mathews' debilitating ankle injury was a big reason for that. At least he tried to help his team. Danny Woodhead also got banged up late in the game. Grade: C-
Chargers pass offense: If San Diego had managed just one nice drive in the first three quarters -- 180 of the Bolts' 259 yards came in the final period -- the outcome could have been significantly different. Allen caught six passes for 142 yards and both San Diego TDs, all of it coming in the second half. But Woodhead and TEs Antonio Gates and Ladarius Green, major assets to Rivers all season, contributed a collective seven receptions for 27 yards, not nearly good enough. The O-line did Rivers no favors, either. Grade: C
Chargers run defense: It bent too much and eventually broke. San Diego limited Denver's big plays but couldn't get off the field, allowing a 69% third-down conversion rate. Grade: D
Chargers pass defense: No heat on Manning, but not all bad, either. LB Donald Butler made a nice end-zone interception before the half to kill a Denver drive. The pass D also forced Thomas' first-half fumble, though no points came of it. It must be noted that injuries forced a lot of San Diego backups onto the field by game's end, but this crew didn't get scorched the way many of Manning's victims do. Grade: C+
Chargers special teams: Tough day. Prater's five touchbacks precluded any kickoff return chances. The San Diego defense precluded any punt return opportunities. The coverage units were spotty. Punter Mike Scifres appeared to injure his back, and Nick Novak slipped on the turf and missed a field goal after Thomas' second-quarter turnover. The highlight was Novak's perfectly executed onside kick, which San Diego recovered and parlayed into a field goal that cut the lead to 24-17 with just under four minutes left. But Denver never gave the ball back after that. Grade: C-

I bought these in purple because that is my favorite color and I have a lot of clothes in that color. Now I am thinking about getting them in brown as well, that is how much I love them :) They fit true to size too, I am a size 8.5 to 9 (mostly 9) and they fit perfectly. I also like the aspect of being "close to nature" because of the copper points :) And the price is fantastic, by far the lowest ANYWHERE !!"

BUDGET GAP: Two and a half months since Commissioner Joe Martinez called for a report on ways the county can collect the nearly $131.5 million it's owed, Miami-Dade is once again working on a balanced budget. In June he suggested charging the Finance Department's Credit and Collections Section with controlling all countywide collections in hopes that a comprehensive debt collection policy could increase revenue. However, most outstanding charges, said budget chief Jennifer Glazer-Moon, are liens on properties and wouldn't yield immediate cash. "We do a pretty good job of collecting that which is collectable," she said. While Ms. Glazer-Moon acknowledges that working with a collection agency would yield some of the money, she said associated costs would not make it a permanent solution. "When you go to a private company you have to pay them," she said. "They take a piece of what they have collected." The commission is to host budget hearings at 5 p.m. Sept. 13 and Sept. 23 in commission chambers. The county is also to hold meetings throughout the area to discuss with residents the proposed budget. Details: http://www.miamidade.gov/budget/
NEW GABLES BRIGADE: Coral Gables plans its own downtown ambassadors program after hearing of its success in downtown Miami and other major cities. City Manager Pat Salerno said discussion started two months ago. "It will be a good utilization of our existing resources," he said about the four ambassadors who are to patrol downtown Coral Gables. The four will be existing members of parking enforcement, uniformed and driving specialized cars to be easily identifiable, he said. The purpose is to add hospitality and information resources. City staff, he said, is in the process of having the ambassadors properly trained and equipped before the program starts at year's end.
IT'S FRESH IN BRICKELL: Mary Brickell Village is to begin hosting the area's first open air market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays along the 900 block of South Miami Avenue.
DOWN BUT NOT OUT: Miami dropped to the No. 2 spot on a national petition supporting the US hosting of either the 2018 or 2022 World Cup. The change comes a week before representatives of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, soccer's international governing body, are to visit Miami. During a three-hour tour — no, they won't be joined by Gilligan or the Skipper — the delegation is to visit Sun Life Stadium and the Miami Beach Convention Center. FIFA is to decide the location of the forthcoming tournaments in December.

Cute... but Disappointed
"These shoes were super cute. I was a little hesitant about the spikes. I'm not really a fan of the spikes on shoes trend but I really liked the pattern of the fabric and the design of the shoe. The spike were not to large and looked more like cute embellishments. The floral pattern was also nice.Even though they were as pictured, I returned these shoes because they were too big. I am a 7.5 but can sometimes get away with a size 8. The 7.5 was sold out so I tried an 8 (again I really liked the print and style of the shoe) but it was too big. Even with heel cushions. The shoe def runs true too size, maybe even a little bigger.Also in trying them on I felt the insole raising up. That was my final sign to give up on these shoes and return them. :("

By HARRIET BISHOP
When I was growing up we use to have our own jams and jellies. My mother canned all flavors and kinds and we had our own pickles. We didn't know what it was like to go to the store for pickles or Miracle whip or bread.
We didn't have a cow but we raised chickens and rabbits and turkeys and horses. We lived on a commercial acre of ground and we had plenty of room for things like that.
We grew our own garden and we had fruit trees and grape vines and boysenberry bushes. We even had walnut trees.
Mother put up every kind of pickle known to man . Dill was her favorite and watermelon pickles and bread and butter pickles and mustard pickles, which was my Dad's favorite. Mom did not put up sweet pickles because the method required too much time. I loved sweet pickles but had to eat them at somebody else's house because we just didn't have them at home.
I can remember saying to myself, 'when I grow up I'm going to eat sweet pickles the rest of my life.' I have. Only once in a while do dill pickles cross my lips.
Another thing that we had in abundance was grape jelly. I hated grape jelly! As a matter of fact, I hate jelly period. I don't like the way it clumps on the bread. I like to spread the jam. If I had a penny for all the grape jelly and peanut butter sandwiches I made for my brother and his friends so they could keep playing war on our back lot, I would be a rich OLE lady now.
I can remember telling myself," when I grow up I will never eat grape jelly, ever." I have kept my word.
I also made 'toony ammies.' In case any of you don't know what that is, it is tunafish sandwiches drizzled with honey on whole wheat bread. Ugggggggh.
When my brother wasn't eating peanut butter and jelly he was eating 'tooney ammies'. He called them that because when he was little he couldn't say tunafish sandwiches. So it just stuck with the family. I still eat tunafish sandwiches now but without the honey. The grape jelly does not pass over these lips.
Now I am sure you people have some very interesting concoctions that you have eaten over the years and I would love to hear about it.
Well, that is my world. Until next time remember a quote from George Burns: "I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it, at my age I'm very pleased to be any where."

Skip to comments.FREEPER VICTORY! Secret Service Ejects Press Pass Bearing Code Pink Protester from McCain Speech
Posted on 07/08/2008 9:38:37 PM PDT by kristinn
Who read Free Republic? Apparently the U.S. Secret Service does!
This past weekend, I posted an article alerting the Secret Service that members of the terrorist supporting group Code Pink were using fake presses to gain access to events headlined by Secret Service protectees like presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (AZ).
This morning, McCain spoke at the LULAC convention in Washington, D.C. Usually when he speaks at an event in D.C., McCain can expect to have his speech disrupted by Code Pink activists who rush the stage and heckle him from the audience and the press section.
That didn't happen today. I followed press coverage of the speech and no disturbances were reported. Now I know why.
A Code Pink protester going by the name Jennifer Tequia posted about her experience today at the McCain speech. I'll let her tell her story:
This morning I attempted to watch McCain give a speech at the LULAC convention at the Hilton.
I had a press pass to get in but not 5 minutes later was removed by Secret Service agents. The LULAC representative told me that even if I was registered he would not let me in and would not give me any reason. I got the impression that he really wanted me to be able to stay but that the Secret Service told him to have me leave.
I exited the property with no fuss and was followed out by 2-4 Secret Service agents. I was not raising a ruckus or resisting at ALL. I simply walked myself off.
A block and a half later on public sidewalk one of the agents walked up to me unannounced and totally spooked me by being so close to me and put a camera in my face and without permission took my photo.
I then later went back to the area of the Hilton and (staying across the street on public sidewalk) spoke to the press and private people. I told them that I am a teacher and came all the way across the country at my own expense for a month to try to get our nation's financial and moral priorities back on track.
I spoke about not having money for books but trillions for war. Most I spoke to very moved by my story and shared my deep worry about a new war with Iran.
The Secret Service agent showed up again and followed me around a bit. I asked him for his badge number. He refused to give it to me.
I repeatedly asked him, "Sir, what is your badge number?" and he either said, "I am doing a job" or refused to answer.
I asked him his last name and he refused.
I have posted the photo of this man so you can see the image of a man who is in violation of his duties - he removed me without cause, followed me on public property on two seperate occassions and refused to identify himself (which makes me strongly suspect he was not doing what he was supposed to do and feared me reporting him).
McCain was whisked inside so I didn't even get to take his photo or see him at all.
That war criminal knows how to be seen when it works to his benefit and not seen when it doesn't, let me tell you.
Poor Jennifer, busted with a phoney press pass. I wonder if she teaches her students how to cheat on their exams.
Looks like Medea Benjamin will have to come up with a new scheme to infiltrate Secret Service protected events.
Well done!
I spoke about not having money for books but trillions for war. Most I spoke to very moved by my story and shared my deep worry about a new war with Iran.
Give it up, lady. The "second generation" of the '60s is getting more and more tiresome to most Americans.
Great job exposing their fraud! Keep up the good work!
WHOO HOO!!! Excellent!
I read your previous thread on this topic, pre-event, as it were. Wondered if indeed ANYONE would twig to such obvious forgeries, or do anything about it if they did.
I also got a chance to speak with the legeslative assistance to Barbara Boxer. I told him I know she has not co-sponsored the Iran sanctions bill but where is HER counter resolution for diplomacy? What is she doing to take the next step and make it right? I was told, "You don't understand how things are done here." Sadly, I understand all too well that senators and congress members are living in a bubble and are more concerned with protecting themselves and their positions than doing what is right and just. It is not enough sometimes to vote against things. I demand that those who represent us work tirelessly to MAKE IT RIGHT. Get us books, not bombs. Anything else is an injustice and a shame to their position.
Sounds like she should've spent her time doing the necessary budget requests for books and supplies instead of spending her time and money trying to infiltrate events using fake press passes.
A lot of these so called liberal teachers who spend more time and effort on political campaigns than teaching should just be fired for lack of dedication and commitment to their profession and their students.
I mean, if she spent half as much energy campaigning for more awareness in her school district and state about the lack of funding for books she might be able to effect some kind of meaningful change, but the truth is that she's probably sabotaged her own students in order to prove that funding the war is immoral.
Great job!
If only the White House had been reading FreeRepublic these past couple years... :(
My favorite post of the day, and probably of the week.
You're always so spot on ... thank you for ALL you do, and thank you Secret Service!
I HOPE no one shows his picture.
We have just begun to fight;)
Maybe the agent didn't feel comfortable with cattle in the building: Moooooo!
Those that can, do, those that can't, teach.
So they call McCain a war criminal too? I'd love to hear how they justify that one.
Pinging those who were on the original thread.
Yeah, Kristen!!!! Way to go! It figures this chick would be a teacher and probably paid for by George Soros and MoveOn.org! What teacher can afford to stay in DC? Especially during the tourist season!
Looks like Medea Benjamin will have to come up with a new scheme to infiltrate Secret Service protected events.
Maybe there's hope yet, just when we get most discouraged.
Now - if all the Muslim Students Association hooligans could be similarly thwarted on college/university campuses across this country at speeches by those such as David Horowitz, Brigitte Gabriel, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, etc.
Great job Secret Service! Just keeping the trash out.
my deep worry about a new war with Iran."
to copy a lyric - We didn't start the fire.
It's Iran's war with us...with Israel...with the rest of the world.
Bravo Kristinn, job well done! Three cheers for Kristinn and the Secret Service!
I wish I was a woman just so I could kick one of their butts.
Pray for W and Our Troops
"I also got a chance to speak with the legeslative assistance to Barbara Boxer."
I hear 'ya on the spelling thing, but in this case, inconsequential, considering the subject - BB is disgusting. I watched a lot of the senate debates today on the sen. intel. committee revised FISA vs. the lunatic "alternative" proposed by Chris Dodd/Russ Feingold, w/BB being so impatient to speak that she asked two others to yield time to her.
MAJOR barf on all three of these senators.
How in the HE!! does a "teacher" get press credentials????
I sure as heck know I couldn't get such credentials for such a function and I have ap, UPI, and other such credentials/bylines going back 20+ years.
If she's that worried about books and money..maybe she should go to Iraq and teach.
Good job Kristinn!
Senate Intelligence ... not!
She posted the picture of him.
Impersonating a member of the press, using a forged press pass IS cause, you unwashed liberal. You should be in jail waiting for bail.
God Bless You, sir, and the DC Chapter.
He bombed those poor innocent NVA, remember?
Did this dingbat say what state she was from.
The schools my children attend certainly do not have a shortage of books.
Due to the large number of illegal alien children we even furnish breakfast twice a day and lunch all free of charge.
If this woman is a teacher and I have my doubts then she is using the power of propaganda and lies to bolster her naivete.
California doesn't need more money spent on students we just need more accountability of where that money is being spent.
It's nice to have the latest doodads for this or that and new buildings but just how much improvement in a child's education can be adjudged from the latest and most modern classroom.
The high priced office building at our local school is nicer than 95% of the houses located in town.
Abe Lincoln got his education by firelight and he didn't turn out all that bad.
BTW we do however have a good public school.
Thanks to you, Kristinn and to the Secret Service!
Now, Secret Service—please keep an eye on that kook Pinko(redundant, I know) Desiree Farooz—she is an imminent threat to the President and elected officials. She should not be let in to the Capitol or anywhere in DC.
And to any new SS FR members—welcome!
I figured that .. I hope no one posts it here,
and I urge them NOT to.
Senate Intelligence ... not!"
Jo - yes, generally (although the House is SO much worse). This was about finally (after MONTHS of Pelosi etal letting FISA completely expire in the House) at least having a palatable (to me, anyway) revised bill proposed by the intel committee (vice-chair Kit Bond is from my state, and he's argued eloquently for 7 or so months, tirelessly, for FISA). This particular issue is crucial beyond words to our national security, and now, just as they've come up with a tweaked version that even the House will go along with, here come Feingold and Dodd to stage a last-ditch effort to sabotage it. They may take a vote tomorrow, or Thurs. Pretty sure Rockefeller/Bond proposal will prevail, but it's just the sheer gall of the afore-mentioned traitorous ones, putting their Bush-hating agenda ahead of the good of this country.
Thanks kristinn.
Of course McCain is a war criminal because he served honorably in Vietnam. Kerry isn't, of course, because he was a "soldier with a conscious" (sarcasm)
Thanks to the New Left, the term "War Criminal" is now within the same vocabulary as "You Racist!" "You Homophobe!" "You Fascist!" or other meaningless redundancies. All brought to you by the same people who encourage those kinds of behaviors. I still wonder why anybody takes Lefty insults so seriously as they sound a lot like "meany meany poo-poo head". The same people who laugh at us for "seeing a Communist under every bed" have no problem seeing some descendant of Adolf Hitler under every bed, themselves.
Good news.
Thanks for the ping.
Kristinn, you are a treasure. Thank you for your work.
I thought the same thing: (sepErate occasSions, misspelled in this paragraph..I don't know how to do a word in bold print!)
"I have posted the photo of this man so you can see the image of a man who is in violation of his duties - he removed me without cause, followed me on public property on two seperate occassions and refused to identify himself (which makes me strongly suspect he was not doing what he was supposed to do and feared me reporting him)."
Sorry, I couldn't resist. ;-)
I don't mind in the least ... ;)
And she was in fraudulent possession of a "press" pass. Democrats have been using this tactic again and again to collude with Code Pink.
They engage in conspiracy to disturb the peace.
Medea Whackjob was on O'Reilly the other night. Why he gives her air time is beyond me.
I hope her students are better writers and spellers than she is.
Good work tipping off the Secret Service to their fake ID scheme. It's about time they start showing some interest in identifying and removing these terrorist-supporting radicals from secure events.

At year-end the mind turns to gifts — often money gifts. Children and grandchildren might be on your list. Charities also make heavy pitches in December, sweetened with a sugar topping of tax deductions. Here are some ideas to think about while you have your checkbook open:
Gifts from your individual retirement account. Congress canceled the provision that let you give IRA money to charity tax-free. Now you have to pay income tax on the withdrawal. But if you'll be taking the required minimum distribution, think about charities anyway. The gift is tax-deductible, which partly offsets the tax you'll owe. Some charities also can pay you an income for life.
Gifts to children and grandchildren. You need no advice when you're popping $20 into a card for your granddaughter or writing your son a $100 check. If you're considering something larger, you can give up to $13,000 gift-tax-free to each of as many people as you want this year ($26,000 for married couples).
If you want to help your grandchildren with the cost of higher education, I have two suggestions that carry tax advantages.
Start a 529 college savings plan in your name, with your grandchild as beneficiary. You can invest as little as $15 to $25 a month in various types of mutual funds, for long-term growth. The grandchild gets the money tax-free for higher education. If your state has an income tax, you may be able to deduct part or all of your gift on your state tax return.
Money in grandparent 529s isn't counted on the federal college aid form, so — in the first year — it won't reduce any government aid the child qualifies for. In subsequent years, withdrawals from the plan count as student resources. That might reduce aid, but cash from your 529 still leaves the student better off. You can start 529s for other future students you want to help, such as a godchild or niece. States run the 529 plans. To hold your costs down, buy from the state directly, not from financial advisers. You can find the direct-sold plan at SavingForCollege.com.
For a super-safe choice, consider Series I (inflation-adjusted) savings bonds, available online at TreasuryDirect.gov. Like other safe investments, they're low payers today — earning an annualized rate of only 2.2 percent. But rates change every six months and increase if inflation rises.
I-bond proceeds can be tax-free if used for tuition. To make this work, however, the bonds have to be bought in the name of the parent, not the grandparent. So give the money to your adult child and let him or her make the purchase.
This year, for parents cashing in the bonds, the full tax break went to singles reporting income up to $72,850; then it gradually phased out, ending for singles at $87,850. For couples the range is $109,250 to $139,250. These limits rise annually with inflation. Most families will find that they qualify.

By Carl KemGreen River
Dear Editor,
In a recent Letter To The Editor by D. Moskowitz of Londonderry, N.H. he spoke of the increased fuel prices, and how the recent shutting down of several refineries is a cause. Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. Shutting down the refineries does not help with the cost at all. Like anything else however, equipment must be upgraded. Changes made. I suppose if you look at each individual refinery, you may see the reasoning.
In some cases people will allege the producers make only pennies per gallon of profit. That could very well be true. Then some talk about the fuel tax that, the last time I asked the State of Utah to account for, apparently flew off to Never Never Land.
In the capitalist empire America has become, the market prevails. That's good. Then the oil speculators are blamed for the fuel price increase.
Sadly Mr. Moskowitz, and those alleging government interference is not seeing the picture for what (I think) it is - price fixing.
Explain this to me. In 2010 ExxonMobile, Chevron and ConocoPhillips pulled some major profits. Guys, I ain't talking a few bucks here and a few bucks there. I'm talking about $30.5 billion for ExxonMobile, up a "mere" $11 billion from 2009. Yeah. I think that's a bit of a profit, don't you? Their VP of investor relations (David Rosenthal) said he was "very pleased" with that. Oh yeah, Baby. I'd be a bit on the happy side, myself.
Chevron pulled a sweet $19 billion which is a smidgeon more than the measly $10.5 billion they sweated long and hard for in 2009. ConocoPhillips had a hard time getting $8.8 billion instead of the $4.9 billion they earned in 2009. (Source: http://technorati.com/business/article/as-gas-prices-rise-oil-companies/).
Pardon me for my lack of understanding ladies and gentlemen, but I'm having a hard time understanding this. People blame the fuel tax for the rise in fuel costs. Well, if so much money was made because of the fuel tax, I think the roads would be in much better shape than they are now. I think our cops and sheriff's deputies would have the equipment they need in order to protect us from the criminal element.
When you look at the profits made by the "Big Oil", it's kind of hard to focus on anyone else being the cause for the prices. Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse and his co-conspirator, Donald Duck. "Why those two?", you ask? I can't imagine anyone else we can blame since the corporate owners are not only bigger and better than everybody, but above the law.
Now you ask how they are above the law....It's called price fixing. If I was in such a position as those boys, I guarantee you, I would not try jerking every last penny from the public, making the economy even worse. But they are. If anything, they are making the economic crisis much worse through their greed.
It's pretty bad when regular unleaded costs $3.849 per gallon in Green River and $3.639 in Price, only to be told by managers at several establishments that they are charging the same as everyone else no matter where they are.
If they think I'm that stupid to believe that line, they must have been smoking the wrong batch of weed (again). If they want to argue they aren't smoking anything, I suppose it's too hard for them to fess up that they think customers are that stupid. Gets you to wonder if you really want to buy anything from them now, doesn't it?
So there you go Mr. Moskowitz. That is, what I think, the cause is for the fuel prices. The big cheese in the corporate system that can do whatever they want and the managers on the bottom of the ladder that prefer to deficate on the trust the public has for them.

Food mart owner seeking beer license feels sting of aldermanic privilege
For more than a decade and with little fanfare, Parshotam Singh's cramped little food mart has served mostly down-but-not-out folks in the shadow of Lincoln Court public housing tower on S. Howell Ave.
These days, the Bay View store owner is feeling the squeeze as a trendy nightlife district emerges at a major crossroads in the south side neighborhood.
And his prolonged battle for a beer license has landed him in the middle of a heated argument at Milwaukee City Hall over aldermanic power.
Only beer sales, Singh says, can save his well-worn AK Food Mart at the heart of the district.
Local Ald. Tony Zielinski has blocked him, though, saying he wants a new Bay View and claiming "overconcentration" of alcohol.
The tussle highlights the arbitrary power Milwaukee aldermen can wield over their districts - at a time when they are under increased scrutiny following former Ald. Michael McGee's criminal abuse of the licensing process.
Before Singh's request, Zielinski had backed a bunch of licenses for hip new nightspots and a neighborhood diner within a couple of blocks of AK mart. And just weeks after maneuvering to deny Singh's bid, he pushed through a liquor license for a proposed music club across the street, without notifying any neighbors.
Zielinski's show of muscle has won the day so far, and he defends his backing of redevelopment.
Since last summer when Singh applied, Zielinski has pulled out all the stops, using tactics the Milwaukee Common Council would end or limit if it adopts changes backed last week by a city-created task force.
Unable to persuade Zielinski to schedule AK mart's license request, Singh met with him. Zielinski prodded him to sell the building to developer Tim Dertz, even calling to get a possible price. Singh - not ready to give up his life's labor since coming here from India - says he broke down.
"This is my mother," Singh said he told his alderman. "I don't want to sell my mother."
In November, Singh scored a victory at the city Licenses Committee under unusual circumstances - when the local alderman was opposed. Represented by attorney Michael Maistelman, Singh banked on his longstanding relationship with customers, including many from low-income Lincoln Court's mix of seniors and residents with mental and physical problems. That panel heard overwhelming support from more than 20 people, and only a few minor objections about people loitering outside the store.
But Zielinski then persuaded a majority of the full Common Council to defer to his wishes. The council sent it back to committee. There, Zielinski won by packing the hearing with opponents, including prominent local property owners and the co-owners of popular Café LuLu.
Although police listed no problems at AK mart, opponents at that hearing cited worries about panhandling, litter and public urination in the general vicinity of AK mart, or around Hub Supermarket, an existing beer-selling mini-market on the same strip as Singh's store and LuLu.
Zielinski's forces prevailed. And the committee's and full Common Council's denial in December was based in part on overconcentration of beer and liquor outlets. That prohibits Singh from getting a new hearing on that location for three years.
Then a month later, Zielinski - without notifying any neighbors of the hearing at City Hall - helped push through a license for a new live-music cocktail lounge half a block from AK mart. Among the supporters was Café LuLu's Sarah Jonas, whose brother Paul Jonas would operate the new Tonic Tavern in a building on S. Kinnickinnic Ave. Developer Dertz owns that building and is redeveloping it.
Singh is preparing to ask the council to overturn its decision.
Divisive issue
Aldermen are usually loath to criticize a colleague on local issues, but the turn of events infuriated some concerned about unfair treatment.
"Why wouldn't this individual get (the license)?" Ald. Robert Puente said on the council floor. "I'm not accusing anybody of anything, but I don't understand why. Is it because of the different economic standing of the supporters?"
"It becomes an issue of who are the haves and have-nots," said Ald. Jim Bohl, the Licenses Committee chairman who voted with Singh in November but flipped his vote after Zielinski rallied neighbors to the second hearing. He voted in committee against the Tonic Tavern license.
Puente thinks the full Common Council should not defer to the local aldermen on licensing. Many of his colleagues, though, embrace "aldermanic privilege," saying nobody has better knowledge of neighborhood conditions.
Zielinski defends his actions, and no one has accused him of wrongdoing.
The alderman said he is following the wishes of his district's businesses - Singh notwithstanding.
"I'm trying to get business people with a track record and money to invest in a trendy area," he said. Zielinski says AK mart "looks shoddy."
He said he did not seek notification of neighbors near Tonic Tavern because the new place was favored by businesses, including taverns.
Several property owners and tavern owners at the nightlife crossroads have made campaign contributions to Zielinski, including some who helped oppose AK mart's license, city records show.
And Singh himself has donated to Zielinski and other aldermen, including a $400 gift to Puente's campaign a month after Puente voted for AK mart in committee. Singh and a friend in the Sikh community made donations and buttonholed various aldermen in November at a fund-raiser hosted by Ald. James Witkowiak, the influential former Licenses Committee chairman.
"I was just thinking, 'I can get saved,' " Singh said of the donation just days before the council sent his license request back to committee.
Dertz, whose award-winning Fifth Ward Development is headquartered just behind AK, says Singh is a good operator. But, Dertz says, more carryout beer sales could drive up crime and public drinking.
More of an "undesirable element" could be attracted, said Jonas, of Tonic Tavern.
The area is still working class, and business owners insist they don't mean to be elitist.
"If people want to get (carryout) alcohol they should go to a grocery store," said Kristian Sydow, owner of the S. Kinnickinnic Ave. building that houses Riviera Maya restaurant. If that puts Singh out of business, he said, so be it.
"A bodega closing down because they can't sell beer - I can't shed any tears over that," Sydow said.

In his seminal work God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, Christopher Hitchens, the late intellectual and atheist, said "human decency is not derived from religion. It precedes it". His observation comes to mind after the sanctimonious contribution of Anglican Dialogue writer Ron Hay, who laments the likely passage into law of legalised same-sex marriage.
His piece makes several main assertions, the core of which ostensibly suggest the bill is a threatening beast to traditional marriage, will result in the breakdown of cultural cohesiveness, threaten the wellbeing and nurturing of children, create a great injustice against heterosexual married couples, and result in the disintegration of human society as we know it. As with the arguments of many of the religious opposed to this bill, he offers nothing in the way of substantive evidence to back his claims.
Religion has always sought to manipulate and dictate the manner in which individuals live their lives. The Marriage Equality Bill threatens many in the church, as it has the potential to take away what, within the Christian church, has been its centuries-old claim of authority and moral ownership of the institution of marriage.
The church has long coveted its ability to spread its tentacles into the lives of citizens, making moral pronouncements over how others ought to live, how children ought to be raised, of what is virtuous, and what is sinful.
Historically, the church has preyed on the fragility of the human condition, using biblical teachings as the basis on which to cajole individual adherence to unsubstantiated dogma and fallacy. In certain respects, the church grooms its victims to accept its claims of moral ascendancy and to unquestioningly accept its authority, and that of its leaders.
Fortunately, educated, enlightened, and humanly progressive societies steadily continue to abandon the church, making the arguments of writers such as Ron Hay increasingly redundant ...
Mercifully, religious adherence, at least in the developed world, is in free fall. The great scientific discoveries of recent decades in the fields of physics, astronomy, chemistry, and evolutionary biology, coupled with how the internet has enabled great depth of knowledge dissemination across and within societies, is crushing the ability churches previously held to brainwash the masses, lay claim to being the unquestionable ethical guardians of civilisation, and to seek to influence and dictate the political and social agendas and debates within secular societies.
Religious arguments against this bill in recent months have been a sad reflection of the decaying state and growing irrelevance of organised religions to our age. Many opponents have dogmatically defended their positions in superior and self-righteous tones, claiming ownership to concepts of family, community, tradition, and values. Some have had the audacity to question the depth of love same-sex couples have for one another. Others have sought to make fun of homosexuals with cheap references to marrying your horse or mother-in-law. Still more have suggested that same-sex attraction is an illness, the result of environmental influences, and that it may be cured through prayer.
These self-righteous individuals have brought shame on themselves, and have served substantially to further marginalise the religious faiths they represent from enlightened humanist thought and debate.
It's time the churches, their leaders and their adherents began to question, openly and honestly, their role, purpose and future within society.
We must continue to move to the development of secular and spiritually enlightened values. Equally, public discourse on important issues must be based on evidence, reason, and progressive outlook, not hysterical and irrational fear-mongering and melodrama.

Two organisations are teaming up to keep hunters happy and poultry healthy.
Fish & Game New Zealand and the Ministry of Primary Industries combine annually at duck-banding time. Fish & Game monitors populations for hunters, and the ministry tests for bird flu.
Two sites are monitored in Hawke's Bay, using two tonnes of maize for bait, said Fish & Game regional manager Peter McIntosh while he was banding birds last week.
"We set up these traps over a period of three weeks and you slowly build the amount of maize. On Monday we closed up the traps so they couldn't get out and on Tuesday we banded about 400," McIntosh said.
When Hawke's Bay Today recently visited Lake Rotokare, near Taradale, there were just as many ducks, but some had failed the IQ test, returning to be caught again.
The bands have numbers on them noting when and where the bird was banded, and its age.
Hunters retain the bands after passing on details of where and when the bird was shot.
"All that information helps us manage the population," McIntosh said. "Guys collect the bands like trophies."
The adult-to-juvenile ratio recorded at banding shows how successful the previous breeding season was.
A wet spring brought more food, making it a successful breeding season.
After banding, the birds were handed to ministry senior veterinary scientist Wlodek Stanislawek, who monitored the ducks for strains of avian flu, which can kill people. Samples are collected from the ducks' mouths and backsides.
"We have been looking since 2004, when there were flu outbreaks overseas," said Stanislawek.
In the past 10 years hundreds of deaths worldwide from avian flu have resulted from bird-to-human infection, and it's possible that the virus will mutate into a form that will spread from person to person, causing a human pandemic with vast loss of life.
If an infectious strain of avian flu was found, poultry industry aviaries would be warned to take extra biosecurity precautions.
"We couldn't control it. Obviously, we couldn't kill all the ducks. We could only inform the appropriate people," Stanislawek said.
Paradise ducks so far had produced little sign of bird influenza, but not so the mallard, he said. "The mallard is regarded as a reservoir for influenza throughout the world.
"There are hundreds of viruses found in mallard ducks in New Zealand, but not pathogenic [infectious] strains."
Juveniles were the most likely to be infected.
"We enjoy the hospitality of our colleagues in Fish & Game and appreciate their help. Without it, it would be difficult for us to collect samples, so they are making a huge contribution," he said.
"They would also play a major role in an outbreak situation by assisting with trapping."
He said the sampling was a welcome break from working in the ministry's Upper Hutt laboratory.
"Unfortunately, we are not often in this natural environment. It is pure pleasure."

The Emery High Drama Department put the Emery County Sheriff's Office through a very realistic incident scenario recently at Emery High. The entire school was the site of a huge crime scene used for training in case of a shooting incident at the school or any other public building. The students wore very realistic makeup and gunshot wounds were simulated. The group of deputies, sergeants and doctors were divided into three response teams.
The first team swept through the building on information received from students that the pretend shooters were in the auditorium area of the school. The second team did a more thorough assessment of the students in performing triage and formulating a plan for the best way to remove students safely from the building. A team of doctors accompanied the third team who began immediate first aid on students.
The scenario became more realistic through the complete darkness of the school and the smoke makers which made things very difficult to see. The simulated loss of power was due to an explosive device. As the deputies went through the building, things became even more difficult because the pretend shooters had rigged boobytraps along the way which became the pitfall of Deputy Greg Funk as he was lost when he turned over a body which had been rigged.
The team started up the stairs of the auditorium which led to the top of the stage area. In doing so, they checked a room, but not thoroughly enough because the pretend shooter came out behind them and began firing, wounding a deputy. At this point the shooter was taken out by a sharpshooter. The other shooter was also discovered and shot at the scene. The five flights of stairs led to an area at the top where pretend hostages were taken and held.
The deputies completed the rescue of the hostages without further incident. The deputies secured the crime scene so the detectives could come in and take pictures for the investigation. The teams were also in close radio contact with the incident commanders, Capt. Kyle Ekker and Sheriff Lamar Guymon documented the incident from outside of the school. By listening to the reports on the radios they kept track of what was going on inside the building and would call the appropriate emergency response vehicles to the scene. They would also be responsible for contacting the Castleview Hospital and Emery Medical Center to keep them posted on the type and number of injuries they could expect into their facilities in an actual emergency.
After the training scenario completed the group gathered in the lunchroom to answer questions from the students and to evaluate the performance of the teams.
The group said that walking past the injured kids was hard for them. Sheriff Guymon said that situations like this are very serious and the better trained the sheriff's office is will help everyone.
Practices of these types are to train for situations, you hope will never happen, but instincts will take over in these situations and what you've practiced will be the way you handle these highly stressful situations.
In a real crime situation, the students would be frisked for weapons as the search teams moved through.
Lacey Harward, student, said, "It felt so real, that was the scary part, when we were up there with all that screaming."
Neal Peacock said his students studied some shooting situations to put together the training scenario for the deputies. Some areas which need to be strengthened included the communication between those in the building and those waiting outside. Those outside would be concerned with transporting injured as well as getting witness statements. Sgt. Tom Harrison said, "We did right in maintaining our focus in getting to the shooters, we didn't waste any time." The first team going in passed up doors and bodies in their rush to find the shooters which means they passed up possible threats.
Deputy John Barnett said he thought everything went good, but there was a lot of confusion. Sheriff Guymon said any situation of this type will be very confusing and they will be accused of handling things wrong and take much criticism from parents and the media in general. Sheriff Guymon stressed the need for the contact with dispatch to be a thorough and accurate record of the proceedings of an event.
They emphasized talking slowly and deliberately into the radios to enhance communication. The doctors involved were concerned with the injured and how to get them out quickly and effectively. They wondered if they should begin IV therapy immediately for more severely injured people. Transportation of the injured in this type of situation will be a problem, especially if the area is not cleared. The need for someone to be the medical commander was discussed and that person would call the medical helicopter and determine the number of ambulances needed.
The doctors involved in the training exercise are members of the Emery County Sheriff's Tactical Incident Entry Team and have have been to extensive firearms training at Gunsite, Ariz. and also to several trainings with the Emery County Sheriff's Office. They have been certified to carry weapons in these types of situations. Sheriff Guymon said, "These doctors participate as volunteers and donate their time and talent to our team. Emery County is very fortunate to be one of the few entry teams in the state to have doctors on their team."
The doctors admitted to being very disoriented and turned around in the school, this being their first time in the building. One suggestion was to tag the walls with paint to mark the route that the teams follow in the building. The school also has a layout and the teams will study the layouts of various buildings in the county to become familiar with them. The doctors also suggested kits for the deputies with emergency medical supplies which would be carried in the same pocket on everyone to be used to treat yourself in an emergency.
The emergency response team will have training in the future and the next scenario will involve a meth lab.
The high school has surveillance cameras in the school which can also be hooked to the sheriff's office dispatch so the dispatch can be aware of what's going on in the school. A deputy with a radio could also be placed in the surveillance room at the school and radio directions to the response teams as they enter and move about in the school.
Sheriff Guymon said, "We feel very good about this training. We hope to never have to use it. There is no glory in such a shooting. No glory in the taking of innocent lives. It is our job to protect the public the best we can. We need to be informed of any criminal activities or threats being made in the communities. It is our job to investigate these things and make sure they are taken seriously. If you are an individual with anger towards others, you need to seek help and counseling for your problems. We work to keep our communities safe and with the help of all the citizens we can be successful in doing that."
