With the 20 roster cuts this afternoon, the Oilers are down to a more workable number. The truth is we could probably cut this roster down ourselves (and right now) and be very close to the 23 who'll make the grade. How many spots are open for competition? My answer is 6.
We can begin the conversation by listing all of the contracts that won't be moved and the players who will be an integral part of the 10-11 Oilers:
- Nikolai Khabibulin
- Tom Gilbert
- Ryan Whitney
- Kurtis Foster
- Ladislav Smid
- Jim Vandermeer
- Dustin Penner
- Ales Hemsky
- Sam Gagner
- Shawn Horcoff
- Taylor Hall
- Gilbert Brule
- Andrew Cogliano
- Ryan Jones
- Colin Fraser
- Zack Stortini
- Steve MacIntyre
That leaves 6 roster spots open. One goalie, two defenders and three forwards. Allow me to list the 6 players I believe will fill those slots:
- Devan Dubnyk
- Jason Strudwick
- Theo Peckham
- Magnus Pääjärvi
- Jordan Eberle
- Ryan O'Marra
I'm assuming (as Jason Gregor has been telling us for some time) that JF Jacques won't be ready. That means all of the other TC players are fighting with the 6 names in bold for big league employment. Here are the names:
- Jeff Deslauriers
- Martin Gerber
- Olivier Roy
- Shawn Belle
- Taylor Chorney
- Alex Plante
- Jeff Petry
- Richard Petiot
- Johan Motin
- Linus Omark
- Alex Giroux
- Liam Reddox
- Brad Moran
- Greg Stewart
- Ben Ondrus
- Chris Vande Velde
- Teemu Hartikainen
- Tyler Pitlick
- Cameron Abney
I think that is everyone. However, there are lots of names in there without a snowball's chance in hell of making the final cut. I have placed the strongest contenders in italics. JDD might beat DD, Belle could win a job over either Strudiwck or Peckham, and O'Marra is such a weak option for the extra C that Omark, Giroux and Reddox are in the mix. Anyone else? If my ramblings are true, we can probably predict the next 14 cuts: Gerber, Roy, Chorney, Plante, Petry, Petiot, Motin, Moran, Stewart, Ondrus, VV, Hartikainen, Pitlick and Abney.
Steve Tambellini's Oilers are going to be very young, and unless they make a deal over the next two weeks, we're looking at (at MOST) one or two surprises at camp. Maybe Renney risks waivers for Peckham in favor of Belle, maybe the club decides Deslauriers is the man to backup Super Bowl Sunday and maybe O'Marra doesn't win that last F slot (well, 13th ahead of MacIntyre).
But this camp looks predictable from here. I can't see this year's Ryan Stone in there. Can you?
September 20 2010, 06:58PM
Given that Belle also has to clear waivers, he is only 25, he has two years of ahl experience where he was actually quite good and on a good team, and is a former first round pick (from the best year in 30 years 2003 no less) why is it any more of a risk to try to clear Peckham through waivers over Belle?
Especially considering his nhl salary wouldn't be any higher and he is likely quite a bit player right now.
My list includes Belle over Peckham, and if O'Marra makes the team HE is this year's Ryan Stone.
My pick however to surprise us is Giroux. You dont get 60 goals in the AHL without talent. Maybe he is Hemsky's long lost left winger with size and the ability to bury the puck!?
September 20 2010, 07:05PM
Those of you worrying about losing Mr. Minus himself Theo Peckham on the waiver wire are suffering from a serious case of overvaluing the hometown prospects.
If anything the oil should send him down so they can pick up someone else's 8th dman with a better pedigree and more ahl experience.
Inckuding junior and the ahl Peckham has never been a plus player. Maybe one day he will be worth protecting but right now there is no way he is better than Belle or worth protecting more.
September 20 2010, 07:15PM
I think if Peckham and Plante had been healthy last season that Chorney would not have played as much once it became evident he was in so far over his head. They had no choice but to play him there was nobody else left.
As for keeping Peckham just because they drafted him, well they made that mistake keeping Pouliot hoping he would become a checker. To me if Belle is better now keep him. He is right at the age where dmen mature and are ready to play . And at 240 i domt think we need to worry about him being a wallflower. 240 pound dmen who can skate like the wind are rare, he is the mike grier of dmen and we will love him in this town!
-Faceoffs are still a concern; how is O'Marra in the dot?
-I'd love to see Shawn Belle leapfrog Strudy & Peckham.
-Should Omark show strongly, does that push Eberle or PRV down?
-Tyler Pitlick has made a good 1st impression; hope he continues to impress.
September 20 2010, 06:49PM
For youTube's sake, I'm pulling for Omark, aka "Snoopy"
Omark please, but I imagine if Oiler fans want him, he will sent to Sibera. The guy would go through a wall to play here
I think maybe Giroux/Reddox over O'Marra... and the way Bob keeps pumping Belle's tires, maybe he makes it. Perhaps Strudwick to F?
Next round of (rather easy) cuts, imo...
Olivier Roy
Johan Motin
Richard Petiot
Brad Moran
Greg Stewart
Chris Vande Velde
Cameron Abney
Colin Mcdonald
Jake Taylor
Jared Aulin
Curious how Ben Ondrus is looking out there.
Tambellini better not risk waivers with Peckham. I think that would be a real bad idea.
As for your list, I definitely agree with those choices being pretty likely. I kind of want to see Omark in place of O'Marra though, but I think it'll be tough to get him the ice time he needs, however.
Edit: Wow, I posted this before reading any posts.. some good support for Omark here. haha
September 20 2010, 07:02PM
I am not a fan of the "Snoopy" nickname for good ol' Linus. I know it's a reference to Peanuts, but given Omark's similarity to Youtube All-Star Robby Schremp, I'd rather name him after the youngest Van Pelt, Rerun.
September 20 2010, 07:08PM
@esa tikkanen
The Oilers have, time and time again, promoted Chorney as their top D prospect, and you're wondering why the love for Peckham?
September 20 2010, 07:27PM
Abney staying is a little curious. It might be a matter of numbers for the JM game, I suspect he'll get sent down very soon.
They still have 46 bodies in camp. They had 66 and cut 20 today. Colin Mcdonald, Jake Taylor and Jared Aulin aren't on your list but are still in camp. None will make it though.
Abney will probably play Wed in Van...Toughness in preseason is important and it will be a good test for the young chucker. I suspect he will be sent to the Oil Kings Thursday so he is ready for season opener on Friday.
Also I will be stunned if O'Marra makes it. He doesn't look in great shape, but he is good in the dot so you never know.
@Jason Gregor
Has Ondrus shown anything... was thinking perhaps he could be a spare forward... any chance? Isn't he full o' spunk?
September 20 2010, 07:46PM
This assumes, of course, that either Souray or the bag of pucks we get for him have been shipped to OKC. Otherwise, play him, sit him, make him clean toilets at Rexall - he still takes a roster spot.
LT, you've hinted of Strudwick's retirement on many occasions...are you picking up a different vibe on that situation now?
September 20 2010, 07:53PM
esa: Belle has cleared waivers in previous seasons, the Oilers drafted Peckham (which has some impact on decisions) and plays with that edge Renney has talked about a lot.
Having said that, the opportunity is there. They COULD risk waivers on Strudwick and have him on standby in the minors.
If winning was our first priority, I'd agree 100% with you. But since the goal this year is teaching and breaking in a whole flock of newbs, I think Strudwick plays on this team. They wouldn't have offered him a contract if they didn't think he'd be here. Besides, after flogging him to within an inch of his life last season, they owe him. He's almost like a playing coach right now and a damn good influence for the young guys.
In Chicago he parks cars for the other players. Here he starts.
September 20 2010, 07:55PM
Does anybody else think that Neil Sedaka looks a bit too much like Gretzky?
September 20 2010, 08:14PM
Sedaka did tour southern Ontario several months previous to 99's birth. Just saying.
~brownlee was probably front row centre rocking a flower power t-shirt~
September 20 2010, 08:15PM
O'Marra over Omark? For real...?
I wouldn't have... Everything else checks out...
September 20 2010, 08:21PM
Lowetide: Not a chance that O'Marra sticks around for an NHL game. If anything, VV or Teemu would get that shot, if Renney decides he needs another 2way guy. O'Marra was miserable on last years Falcons.
I agree with most of your picks, but I expect either Omark or Giroux get a cup of coffee over O'Marra. Renney has firmly stated Cogs will get a long look at C, and with Gags, Horcs and Fraser, that's our centres, and for occasional use, we have Penner (actually a really good faceoff guy), Hall (supposedly), and Hemmer (plays C everywhere but the NHL).
I also expect Belle will stay up and Struds will spend plenty of time in the press box.
Personally, I hope (and know it won't happen) that Renney takes the tip of a post last month here on ON... keep up the 4 guns (Hall, Clutch, MPS, YouTube), and always sit one out on a rotation...3 games on, one game off, for everyone. That way they get some much needed rest, all 4 get good minutes, and maybe we avoid injury a bit. I'd do the same with Pecks and Belle, both of whom would fit for me on the 3rd line. Flip then back and forth, a few games each, and let them get the experience they obviously need.
Also, I'm kind of surprised Marincin, Martindale, and Marquardt got sent down with the first cuts. Marincin looked pretty good on D, Martindale made some nice moves in the Youngstars, and Marquardt is the fridge on wheels we keep wanting. At least, over guys like Ondrus, Abney, Stewart and Moran.
So, we have a poll for Star and Goat... can we have a poll on how long before Tambi moves a few bodies? I say by the end of this week.
September 20 2010, 08:31PM
@Jason Gregor
Any idea who will be playing in Vancouver? I am debating heading to the game. Are the teams split like last year?
September 20 2010, 08:32PM
LT, is my math wrong, or are we not looking at 22 roster spots to fill, plus Souray or his replacement?
This is what bugs me ... unless Souray gets shipped out, we also stand to lose a prospect on the wire.
LT, little off topic but do you know what ever happened to William Quist, 6th rounder 2007? Has he ever been to any camp (development, rookie, main) since draft?
Hockey's Future says: "The Oilers made it very clear that they wanted him to come to Canada and play in the CHL for the coming year but instead Quist has signed a contract with Nybro, a men's league below the SEL. The Oilers are concerned that he'll barely play if/when he isn't a healthy scratch. He hasn't accomplished much and has not taken advice from the organization so he's definitely painted himself into a corner.
Profile Last Updated: March, 22nd 2010"
Curious as you never seem to have mentioned him at your other house.
September 20 2010, 08:37PM
Could Pitlick be this year's Ryan O'Reily? I'm not sure I'd want to rush him onto the Oilers (O'Reily struggled for large portions last season), but it'd be fantastic news if he made it interesting this early in his career.
Omark might be seen as a faster, grittier, more experienced version of Eberle. They can't send Hall to the AHL, and Paajarvi is too big and too fast to not fit in as at least a third line winger, so I think the Omark/Eberle battle is one to watch. It'll be especially interesting if both show as NHL ready. Do you make room for both?
September 20 2010, 08:38PM
You've dropped Omark from your blog of September 13 and I'm not sure why. Personally, I agreed 100% with your prognositcations of the 13th, I thought you nailed it. . .
I like Omark, I also like Belle. When/If we see what returns for Sheldon the Treacherous, just may be that there's room for both.
I'd like to think that Omark is the 2010 version of Theo the Rat. He isn't though, at least not in the rat department. He's too nice a guy. (So far.)If he shows in camp, what the hey, give him a shot with the big club. This IS a development year, yes?
How many times has it been said that defencemen most always take more time to develop than do forwards? In this particular case, I think it surely does apply. One fine day I think both Peckham and Belle are going to 'get it,' and when they do I'm guessing they're both going to be NHL players. In fact, I like the upside potential of Belle; just give him an at long last defined roll. Let him get comfortable, let him gain his confidence. Peckham might turn out to be the second coming of Matt the Green One. (At least if he's given an other year or so in the A.) I'd rather chance Mr Strudwick clearing than him, but still, I think if it came to it he clears.
Strudwick has already got it, we've seen the movie, we know the ending. Yeah, he's great in the room, a wonderful person, a nurturing sort, blah blah. Would a position of assistant coach compromise him 'that much,' unable to assist in the development and rope-showing to the same degree as if a player?
September 20 2010, 08:54PM
Has Ondrus shown anything... was thinking perhaps he could be a spare forward... any chance? Isn't he full o' spunk?
He plays with spunk but I don't see any way he makes this team out of camp. He isn't better than Jones, Stortini or MacIntyre.
September 20 2010, 08:57PM
Forgot about those three. Interesting on O'Marra. I wonder who they look at for the extra C (after Gags, Horcoff, Fraser and Cogs).
Maybe Moran? Reddox?
I'd see Reddox as 14th forward ahead of O'Marra even though he isn't a natural centre. I'm not sure they keep a centre as 14th forward. They could use Brule if they want, and remember they will try Penner in the middle for a few preseason games.
September 20 2010, 08:58PM
Does anybody else think that Neil Sedaka looks a bit too much like Gretzky?
or Ben Mulroney
September 20 2010, 09:00PM
Any idea who will be playing in Vancouver? I am debating heading to the game. Are the teams split like last year?
We won't see the teams until tomorrow night. They won't play anyone Wed and Thurs...you will see a lesser lineup in Van I would suspect. No way Hall plays in Vancouver. They will save him for home game. I suspect the Cogliano line will play in Van...just a hunch.
September 20 2010, 09:05PM
I don't think Omark is that nice. From what I've read, he's got plenty of the same arrogance and ability to annoy that guys like Theo and Esa used to great effect. If I recall correctly, there was a story from across the pond about Omark drawing a penalty, and the guy going to the box accusing him of diving. Omark proceeded to set up the PP marker (one can only assume that he deeked out 3 guys and threw a behind the back pass between his legs to do so), proceed to scoop the puck out of the net, skate it over to the player in the box, and toss it over the glass, to one very PO'd Finn.
Sure, he'd get murdered for that over here, but it'd be damn funny.
Ya, I don't see Ondrus as better than Jones or Stortini either, but with Jacques hurt (or even without for that matter), could Ondrus be a better option than JFJ? I know he doesn't have the size Jacques has, but he seems to have more P & V, no?
Also, check it...
The former owner of the Hartford Whalers is taking control of business operations of the city's minor league hockey team and renaming the franchise the Connecticut Whale... The team will begin the season as the Wolf Pack, but will change the name to the Whale sometime in the middle of the season, Baldwin said.
September 20 2010, 09:19PM
I think the line ups might look like this:
1)Penner;Gagner;Hemsky 2)Hall;Horcoff;Eberle 3)Brule;Cogs;Paaravi 4)Stortini;Fraser;Smac
1)Gilbert;Whhhitney 2)Smid;Foster 3)Vandermeer;Belle
DD backs up the drunk
Peckham;Omark;Jones as needed from the press box.
That is all.
September 20 2010, 09:27PM
@a lg dubl dubl
Switch Peckham and Belle, and I don't think I have a single problem with that line up.
September 20 2010, 09:43PM
I can see Omark as a 13/14th forward. He's a rookie who will push the big 3 for a spot in the line-up. His skill-set is also probably a good fit to inject in place of any of the rookies that struggle and need to sit out a game or two. He might not be an everyday guy right now, but he can still push those kids to be better.
September 20 2010, 10:05PM
LT what are you talking about? According to you Strudwick is retiring after TC http://lowetide.blogspot.com/2010/09/training-camp-predictions.html so then Belle or Peckham will automatically make the team.
September 20 2010, 10:39PM
@a lg dubl dubl
Yup that's about it. I'd agree with Cru Jones with Peckham over Belle. And if Struds stays active, one of them will go down.
I like this idea of rotating the four kids through three roster spots. I'm concerned about the lack of grit on the top 9 though.
@Adam D
I don't like the nickname "Snoopy" either. Hey, he's an under sized forward with a great Irish name... O'Mark. Why not The Leprechaun? Maybe we've just mistaken his Swedish accent for a Dublin brogue:)
September 20 2010, 10:45PM
Ya i know but this is the 2nd or 3rd time i recall you mentioning it...Do you have some crazy inside information? Or are you basing it on the fact that Struddy has a very inflated salary for a player who will maybe play 50 games, and who has less ability than Belle and Peckham.?
September 20 2010, 10:51PM
@David S
Exactly struwick isn't going to be here for his playing ability he is going to be mentoring the kids sort of an Player/coach and really what better guy for it he has had to claw his way in the NHL and done it very professionally. O for O....lol Omara stays for awhile while Omark lights it up in Oak City as star power. At least that is my perception in the whole situation.
September 20 2010, 10:54PM
I hear some people saying it is hard for Hall, Eberle,Svensson, and Omark to all make it due to playing time and top 6 minutes or that having one of them as a 13th or 14th doesn't get them ice time. Would it not be easy to have them rotate in and out of the lineup and play 3 out of every 4. They may only play 65-70 games that way but that would be more than any of them played last year.
September 20 2010, 11:52PM
@Mike from Canmore's illegitimate love child
Very inflated salary? He make $225,000 over league min. He also does a ton of extra 'volunteer' work that is huge help to the organization as well. I think he is entitiled to get paid more than a MacIntyre or Brett Sutter

Vietnamese International Film Festival returns
The Vietnamese International Film Festival (ViFF) announced on Friday the lineup for its sixth biennial gathering, April 4-7 and April 11-14.
The wrestling action/drama "Beyond the Mat," directed by Van M. Pham, will open the film fest at 6 p.m. April 4 at Edwards University Town Center 6 in Irvine. An opening gala reception will follow at Steelhead Brewing Company, also located in Irvine's University Center shopping district.
For the first time, Edwards University will continue to screen ViFF films during its opening weekend. The festival will also take place at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, UC Irvine and UCLA.
The closing film will be "War Witch," an award-winning drama directed by Kim Nguyen. "War Witch" was nominated for an Academy Award for best foreign language film at the 2013 Oscars. It will screen at 7:30 p.m. April 14 in room HIB 100 at UC Irvine, followed by a closing night gala at UCI's Humanities Gateway.
In all, ViFF will present 69 films, including 18 features, a record for the 10-year-old festival. ViFF is co-presented by Vietnamese American Arts & Letters Association (VAALA) and Vietnamese Language & Culture (VNLC).
"We have such a strong lineup, and this will be a reunion of a lot of filmmakers who presented their first features at the first ViFF. They're coming back with their most recent work," said Ysa Le, co-director of the film fest along with John Pham, who serves as co-director of VNLC, a student-run organization based at UCLA.
"Film, more than any other art form, can reach people, open dialogues, open communication channels," said Le, who's also executive director of VAALA. "People from different generations can come together and see a film. It's really a win-win-win situation for the artists, audiences and the festival organizers."
Other ViFF highlights include the U.S. premiere of "Scandal," a Vietnamese-language film by onetime Fountain Valley resident Victor Vu at 7 p.m. April 5 at Edwards University; a screening of "Norwegian Wood" and Inspiration Award presentation to director Tran Anh Hung ("The Scent of Green Papaya") at 6 p.m. April 6 at Edwards University; and the U.S. premiere of "House in the Alley," directed by Le Van Kiet, at 7:30 p.m. April 13 at UC Irvine.
The Bowers Museum will host a senior citizens day on April 5, with free admission to all attendees 60 and older with ID; and the Bowers will have a High School Day on April 12, with free admission to all high school students with ID. The High School Day will conclude with a "Common Ground" music and poetry open-mike event.
Thursday, April 11 will be UCLA Day, with free admission to all attendees.
"Flashback/Flashforward" is the theme of this year's ViFF. Filmmakers from all over the world are expected to attend, including Vietnam, the United States, Australia, Cambodia, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland, Singapore and Switzerland.
ViFF was established in October 2003 to showcase films by Vietnamese and Vietnamese diaspora filmmakers.
Tickets are $10 for general screenings, $8 for students with ID, $50 for the opening film and gala ($20 for film only), and $20 for the closing film and gala ($10 each). Tickets will go on sale March 25 at Tu-Quynh Book Store, 714-531-4284, Bolsa Tickets, 714-418-2499 and VietFilmFest.com.

This weekend our annual meeting will be in the Wiregrass. We have been moving the annual meeting around the council, so every area has an opportunity to host it. It is hard to find the right time for the annual meeting. We have been trying to do it the first weekend of April. Unfortunately, we have two large council events on top of the annual meeting, something we will work not to repeat next year. Since many of you can't make the annual meeting, here are a few nuggets I will be sharing:
The cookie sale was FANTASTIC! Thanks for your patience in working with the girls to have such a successful program. The girls sold 9.45% more this year than last year. And last year we were up 9%; that is AMAZING in this economy.
We completed the 2009-2010 fiscal year, which ended September 30, 2010, with 15% of income over expense. This is the third year we have closed out the year in a positive financial position. We still need to plant 117 acres of trees at Camp Humming Hills, which will consume some of the extra cash. In the meantime, I have been working to improve all our camp properties as we have had the funds available. Hopefully you will notice some of those changes.
I'm working on a draft facilities master plan for comment. We will take those comments, integrate them into the facilities master plan, then work to start a capital campaign to fund some of the improvements at all our properties. I visited all of the council properties with a property consultant from GSUSA a few weeks ago. He was positively impressed with our properties and indicated he didn't feel that we had too many. Hopefully this business news, coupled with some quality council programs are creating a great leadership development experience for the girls you work with. Thanks for all you do!

"These boots run slightly small for size, (a 1/2 size) but I suspect when they've been worn a few times they will fit according to size, as the lining inside the boot will wear down a bit. As far as style goes, they are sooo cute, perfect for wearing outdoors in the cold and keeping on as a stylish boot!"

So stylish and cute
"I love these. I purchased them in the beige/taupe color. They are so stylish and I get lots of compliments. They dont feel too high. I wore them all day and my feet did hurt a little by then end of the day but that probably had to do with the fact that half my day was shopping and lots of walking. Other than that, they are comfy and I love them."

I am hoping someone who reads this message will be able to lend me some information on how to contact a company that offers some product line or training courses on repairing fiberglass tubs. I have a full time job in construction right now, but I'm looking for something else to fill in my spare time. A friend who is a plumber suggested tub repair because he says there is no one in our area who does this. If anyone can help me out or give me some information it would be much appreciated and put to good use.

Troll Tagged by Uzumaki_Tim
eh, if so many peaople hadn't die i would have been much more glad.
did i say it correctly? probably not.
howewer, at least that villain is dead!
We know that Matsuri is one of the strongest Psychiers including the Grigori test subjects. In the alternate future I say (alternate) because a new bridge of the future is being build, Grana when he fought Matsuri commented on her being close to his lv and she was sickly then. So yeah she's pretty impressive...I wanna see Aghea get some of this action
I really want to see how Yusuka's death changes the future since one of the reasons Matsuri died was because of the after effect of his poison.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Bodysuit is a 4 way stretch spandex left over from the last Mars fuku I made. Sleeve & glove rolls are cording covered in casa satin sleeves. Sleeves are gathered sheer lined in crinoline to help them keep their shape (I kept calling them linebacker sleeves). Top skirt, collar & front bow are casa satin. Skirt is a circle skirt that is hand pleated & the waistband is a combination of casa, spandex & ribbon. Bottom skirt is hand pleated chiffon. Back bow is sheer & crinoline, like the sleeves, with a ribbon for the tails. Tiara is from Catzia, but I replaced the star with a much smaller resin one since the eternal tiara's are so thin. Earrings are resin stars. Choker, bow star & "crotch star" were cast in resin by BeckyTaka for the group. We all coordinated our boots to match. Pleaser 721 I believe? They were having a SHOE SALE
- Personal Thoughts:
- I think everyone in this group learned the hard way that Naoko is NOT consistent in her art... at ALL. Fukus aren't the easiest things in the world to sew, especially the eternal ones when you're coordinating with a large group, but after making this one & the one for Super Sailor Mars, I feel pretty confident about the process. LOTS of love to BeckyTaka for having me over so often so we could sew these together

Solid waste management was the purpose for a tour held Sept. 18 in southeastern Utah. State legislators, county representatives, city representatives and other concerned parties met for a full day tour of three Utah facilities.
ECDC was the first stop on the day's agenda. The group was given the basics on the operation of this facility and how it handles the solid waste that is shipped to East Carbon. ECDC has a Class 5 waste disposal permit. This permit allows the facility to handle municipal solid waste from in and out of state locations, although it does not allow for the disposal of radioactive or hazardous waste.
The group was taken to ECDC as an introduction into the proposal by Solitude Landfill and RPP (RollPressPack). Solitude and RPP recently merged to form the UTEX Company. Solitude is awaiting word on the approval of the new Class 5 permit for their landfill site east of Green River. With the railroad spur awaiting approval, the new permit acquistion will ensure the timely opening of the site. Construction is scheduled to begin in October.
Their second stop was the John Wesley Powell Museum to meet with Mayor Glen Dale Johnson, of Green River, and Bob Mascaro, of Infill Companies, to discuss the Solitude project and view the site. The group met for a presentation by Mascaro, explaining the solid waste handling system that will be in use at the Green River facility.
Solitude's site is located approximately eight miles east of Green River and cannot be seen from the town, nor can it be seen from I-70. The site is 320 acres and has the capacity to dispose of 22 million cubic yards of waste.
With the approval of the Class 5 license, Solitude has expansion plans and could possibly accommodate additional regional clients. Based on 50 cents per ton, Solitude will generate nearly $10 million in fees to the state of Utah over the life of the landfill. Expansion could raise that figure substantially.
The landfill site has been in process and development since former Mayor Rey Lloyd Hatt started the ball rolling in 1989. During the terms of four different mayors, the landfill company has been working with the city to make the solid waste disposal facility a reality. The land is barren and unproductive and has no surface or groundwater, and cannot be used for farming. A landfill is an ideal business to bring industry to Green River. All land surrounding the site belongs to the Bureau of Land Management or is school trust land. There is no private property around the site.
All solid waste brought into the Green River site will be pre-baled. In this baling process, the waste will be sorted to remove any hazardous materials, then sent into the baling machine. This process is an extremely efficient baling process that compacts the waste into bales that are compressed with 2,400 pounds per cubic yard pressure and wrapped into bundles for transportation. A complete bale will weigh 15,000 pounds.
The bales will arrive on flatbed trucks until the rail spur work is complete, afterwhich, all the remaining waste bales will be transported on rail cars. With the process of compaction and wrapping, there is no smell associated with the landfill site.
Also, rodents are not a problem due to the inaccessability of the waste.
Some residents have voiced a concern for the water supply from the waste disposal site. Mascaro informed the group that because of the air-tight, water-tight baling process, there will be no leakage from the stored bales. Due to the fact that there is no water flowing in the area, there is no anticipated problem with anything leeching into the water supply.
Up to this point, Solitude has not asked Green River City for any financial inducements and has only offered to help with whatever can be done to help the process along. They have also been instrumental in helping the city of Green River with Melon Days celebrations. For this year's celebration, Solitude provided the funding for the children's rides and entertainment. Mayor Glen Dale Johnson said, "With 973 people living in Green River, and both the parents in all the families working more than one job, the full time positions that this project will provide will be of great help to the citizens of Green River. Not only will at least 20 people have jobs with benefits, but the additional revenue to the city will be a benefit to every citizen in Green River."

Beautiful and comfy
"This shoe is beautiful. I got the pewter and it has quite a bit of brown on it. I like that a lot. I usually wear a 7 in heels and tennis shoes, and I ordered a 6.5. The 6.5 is perfect, so consider ordering a 1/2 size down. The width is not too narrow at all. Actually if you had a narrow foot, these might not work well. Mines about average. These are super comfortable. Great for work!"

"I need to dress for work, but can't wear heels because of arthritis, so I look for flats with a distinctive look, and the Sequoia fits the bill perfectly. I ordered it in green, which appeared to be olive on line, but it's not quite olive in person - its really more of a green. The lizard look of the leather, combined with the color, really is stunning. Not very comfy, but then I didn't expect it to be."

"What is going on with Seychelles lately? Im normally a size 7.5 (sometimes 8) and this is the second pair I had to get in a 7. Dont be misled by the pointy toe box, these are long for their size. The shoe itself is extremely comfortable. The green snake print is fantastic and just as pictured."

Beautiful Retro Flats
"I'm very happy with these plats! I wear regular (medium) 7.5 and 8, depending on the shoes. I ordered the black in 7.5 and was somewhat skeptical about the fit since pointed flats have a tendency to be narrow in the toe box - but not these! The fit was excellent! I love the fabric design on the black ones - the picture does not do it justice. Overall, these flats are versatile, stylish and comfortable!"
