By PATSY STODDARDEditor
There are so many conflicts and controversies lately over coal fired power plants and the use of coal to produce electricity. We have been told by 2012 there will be severe shortages of electricity because not enough is being done now to open up new sources of power for the future. We are in danger in four short years, of being out in the dark. Where will this new electricity come from, apparently not from coal. This worries me and disturbs me. Coal has been a source of heat for thousands of years, and now it's just not good enough any more?
There are technologies being developed which burn coal at a higher temperature which reduces emissions. What's wrong with exploring that a little more fully. So, California doesn't want electricity produced by coal fired power plants. Well, fine, then you don't use our electricity produced by coal fired plants and you can sit and roast when the power goes out and we'll be here in Emery County using coal fired electricity and we will have the air conditioner running.
There are so many things I don't understand. I admit I am a hick and am happy about it, but, wait a minute. Here we sit in Emery County. There are two coal fired units in Huntington Canyon. Three units at the Hunter Plant near Castle Dale. Two units I think, 30 miles away in Helper. With all this horrible coal fired madness going on, how do you explain our clean skies here. When I have the misfortune to travel north I don't see any coal fired plants there. The nearest one to the Wasatch Front, and I'm just guessing would be the Helper plant or maybe the units at Bridger in Wyoming, or maybe Bonanza near Vernal. So, please tell my small brain, where is all this pollution coming from? Could it be and maybe California has a bit of this problem, too. Is it coming from the cars we drive?
They don't have any coal fired power plants in Salt Lake, we don't have as many cars as they do. Is there a connection?
I'm just wondering. I feel good about the Emery County air. Very rarely do we ever deal with an inversion. If you listen to the news up there in the Wasatch Front they take inversion to a new level. I have been to Wyoming several times, mainly to Fort Bridger, and their skies there are just as clear and nice as here in our county.
So, why are they always pointing fingers at coal fired generation. What can be done to get people out of their cars and onto public transportation? I don't get up there much, but they say the buses run around mostly empty. So people take their cars, even though they are polluting the air? Why? Because their cars are more convenient.
Convenience you say? Is convenience important? Well, probably not. Isn't coal convenient? Don't we have a lot of it still buried in our mountains? So if convenience isn't important then why can't all those valley dwellers take public transportation. It would clean up their air, relieve congestion on the highways and it will be better for everyone all around, right?
I'm a little sad that Rocky Mountain Power as it operates in Utah says they will be going green. It seems to me they are tired of all the pains involved with coal fired generation. So the dream Emery County has had for several years of a Hunter Unit # Four has gone by the wayside. Rocky Mountain Power seems to be turning it's back on coal, coal has become such a dirty word. Maybe they are not nearly as green as they sound.
Maybe they are positioning themselves to "shock" the governor and the residents back into reality. If they go ahead and build these new gas fired generators, you will see electricity bills go up by as much as double, maybe more. The process will be: they will announce the new gas fired plants, they will go in for rate increases to pay for them, they then hope the residents of Utah will put pressure on the governor to keep the rates down, hopefully, he will then back down on coal. Maybe, maybe not, just a theory.
The environmentalists are winning. They have given UtahAmerican Energy nothing but grief over the opening of the Lila Canyon mine. It has been in the permitting process for more than 10 years now, with SUWA appealing all along the way. I am surprised UtahAmerican Energy hasn't given up. I don't think I could have hung in there that long with all the trials they have been through trying to create jobs for our area. I have to believe humans are just as important as that soil they keep talking about.
The environmentalists probably drive cars, they probably live in houses which were built with trees that had to be cut down. SUWA gathers each fall in the Hidden Splendor area. How do they get there? Well, they probably don't park in Green River and walk in. We all add to the problem of pollution. We can all do our part. Don't get me wrong. I believe we need to take care of our environment, but I believe we need to be realistic in doing so. Why point the blame all in one direction? Is it because coal is a scapegoat? There are many other pollution producers, not just coal.
I've never figured out where environmentalists get the gas for their cars. Doesn't it come from the oil which was produced in the Middle East. Why do they keep driving if it is such a drama for us to keep buying oil from these countries?
I am so filled with confusion, today, even our governor has hopped aboard the green train. There he is making commercials with Arnold. Doesn't this mean he is thumbing his nose at coal? Are we just supposed to slip quietly away into oblivion down here? Are we in the process of becoming ghost towns? My brother works in the control room at Hunter II, my husband hauls coal, I throw coal into the fireplace because nothing is as warm as a coal fire on a dark Emery County night and it may get darker than we want, sooner than we think. Goodbye, coal.

Vote to establish a Juvenile Library, the first publicly supported library in Massachusetts, the second in the country.
Sabbath School Library in East Village has 186 volumes.
Vote $90 to start a library in each Lexington school.
Farmers' Club urges public library; the club owns 200 volumes.
Farmers' Club is authorized to take charge of books belonging to the town; they establish a library in what is now the Lexington Theatre.
Having a regard for her native place and being prompted by a desire to increase the opportunities for culture among its inhabitants.
With these words Mrs. Maria Hastings Cary of Brooklyn, New York, offered the Town of Lexington $1,000 for books if a free public library were established. The year was 1867.
Mrs. Cary's gift carried with it two stipulations. First, the town was to appropriate $1,000 plus $40 yearly for the purchase of books. Second, it was to provide a building, maintain it properly, and keep it open without charge to all the inhabitants. On April 20, 1868, Mrs. Cary's gift was accepted and the town agreed to appropriate $1,000 when $400 or its equivalent in books was raised. This provision was overwhelmingly met when the Farmers' Club Library agreed to give its collection of books — 401 volumes valued at $575 — to the town.
A Board of Trustees consisting of the Selectmen, School Committee, and the settled clergy of the town was organized as stipulated by Mrs. Cary to oversee the use of the money and the operation of the library. In gratitude to Mrs. Cary for her gift, it was agreed that the new library should bear her name.
On January 27, 1869, Cary Library was opened to the public. Located over Bradford Whitcher's (later Spaulding's) Store, which stood on Main Street (now Massachusetts Avenue) opposite Meriam Street, it was open from one to five on Wednesdays and from one to eight on Saturdays. Marian S. Keyes was the librarian and the 1,200 books, all carefully covered in brown paper, were on shelves accessible only to her! Despite this restriction 1,670 volumes were circulated in the first three months.
Though some of the books…are not adapted to general reading, they are valuable works of reference and are what no public library should be without.
In two years the library had outgrown its original location and was moved to the first floor of the Town Hall which had just been built on Massachusetts Avenue opposite Waltham Street.
In 1869, just one year after the opening of the library, Mrs. Cary proposed constructing a library building. In 1870 the Committee acted on her recommendation and accepted her offer of $20,000 toward building the Town Hall.
The growth of Cary Library during its first quarter century is exciting in retrospect. The original collection of books from the Farmers' Library had been augmented by donations from the Lexington Library Association, Mr. Benjamin de Forest, and the Honorable Charles Hudson even before the doors were opened. Until her death Mrs. Cary generously supported the library and left an additional $5,000 in her will. Other individuals followed her example, donating both funds and books to the cause. And the town was no less willing to support the increasing thirst for good literature; in addition to its original appropriation, the Meeting agreed to set aside the dog tax for the use of the library. In 1873 this assured the library of about $800 annually; in 1968 the library still received some of its funds from the dog taxes.
Miss Keyes was succeeded as librarian in 1877 by Grace S. Wellington, and it was during her term and that of her successor, Florence E. Whitcher, that further expansion of the library took place.
Maria Hastings Cary died in 1881, leaving the Cary Library $5,000.
The number of books is uncommonly large and exceedingly well chosen…frequenters of the library.thronged the reading room and kept the young lady at the desk incessantly busy recording the books they borrowed or returned.
These words by William Dean Howells, written in 1881 while he was working on A Modern Instance, are the key to the development of the library in the 1880s. New space was obviously essential, so in 1883 the Memorial Hall was incorporated into the main reading room and the entire library was redecorated.
In this year, too, library service in the community was expanded with the opening of a branch library in East Lexington. The branch began operation on April 19, 1883 in a reading room of the old Adams School. East Lexington residents could leave their library cards there and receive books from the main library twice a week. Miss Nellie Holbrook, the first librarian, took the books to and from the main library and kept the reading room open "at convenient hours six days of the week." During its first year, the branch had an average of ten patrons a day.
At first the Branch was open only twice a week, but latterly the requirements are for daily access, while a considerable number of volumes from the main library find circulation through this agency."
During this period the reference section of the library was enlarged and the library subscribed to twenty-eight magazines and one daily newspaper. By the end of its first twenty-five years of service the Trustees could report that "Cary Library is filling a larger place in the interest and affection of our people. It was never so much sought and used as today.
WARRANT FOR A TOWN MEETING: Thursday, October 13, 1887. Art. 2
William A. Tower, a successful business man who had served in the House of Representatives and on the Governors Council and was most active in town affairs, offered to erect a new building on the corner of Clarke and Main Streets, if the town would provide the site. He also suggested that the Library should thereafter be run by a "Library Corporation" rather than the Trustees. At the same meeting at which Mr. Tower's offer was read, there was a communication from Alice Butler Cary, the adopted daughter of Maria Hastings and William Harris Cary, offering funds from her mother's estate to purchase the site. According to the minutes, both communications were received with great applause and cheers and committees were formed to negotiate for the site and the investigate the proposed change in library management. Unfortunately, by a ruling of the Supreme Court which stated that transfer of library affairs from the Trustees was not permissible, the town lost the opportunity to have a new library as Mr. Tower withdrew his offer.
As the 103 East Lexington families began to use the East Branch more and more, new quarters were sought. In 1891 Miss Ellen Stone offered the Stone mansion and about one half acre of land adjoining Follen Church to the trustees for $2,000. The offer was accepted and the East Lexington Branch was moved to the new building from a room over Holbrook's store where it had spent the previous nine months.
The Stone building which housed the East Lexington Branch Library was an interesting acquisition for the town. Erected in 1833-34 by Eli Robbins, it was a public building where lectures, sermons and other meetings could be held, and where freedom of speech could be allowed. Through the years it had been used as a private school, a meeting place for the Unitarian Society led by Charles Follen, and as a lyceum for lectures. Those who had spoken there included Emerson, Thoreau, Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, Theodore Parker and Josiah Quincy, Jr.
Our satisfaction is peculiarly great in recording the fact that not only among the members of the various literary clubs and among the mature minds but also on the part of the pupils in the schools there has been pronounced advance in the appreciation and use of…literary tools.
With this statement the Trustees adequately described the role of the library under Marian P. Kirkland who had served as first assistant librarian since 1892 and became librarian in 1897, remaining in that position for the next forty-two years. Her counterpart at the East Lexington Branch, Emma O. Nichols, served during the same long period. Perhaps the concerns of these years can better be understood by quoting some of the Trustees reports. Written by such men as Carleton A. Staples, pastor of the First parish Church and co-founder of the Lexington Historical Society, these reports show that the Trustees were greatly concerned with the reading habits of the people of Lexington.
Not that the best works of fiction should be reckoned among that which is not improving and helpful, but the majority of that class are sought for amusement rather than instruction; a demand which should be gratified in the public library, so far as it can be within the limits of pure and wholesome reading.
Gift books were always gladly accepted but selectivity proved to be of importance in this area too.
While the Trustees are grateful for gifts of really useful books, they cannot cumber the shelves with those that are old, worn out and worthless, which people are glad to be rid of.
The principles of book selection set forth by the Trustees in 1899 best sum up their guiding standards.
The practical idea for those selecting the reading matter for a free people is to choose the strongest, best books that will be read.
The fiction problem previously mentioned was solved in the minds of the Trustees when they declared that a large percentage of the fiction being circulated was "stories about real life with glimpses of the ideal to inspire the reader." And the perennial problem of unreturned books cropped up in the annual report of 1897.
It would seem that any honourable person would willingly replace a book accidentally destroyed or pay for it. But these persons have taken no notice of requests repeatedly sent to them to have the books returned.
The report continued with the information that since the culprits were known, they were barred from further use of the library.
Coming up to the turn of the century, Cary Library owned about 20,000 volumes, including about 2,000 in a juvenile section which had been set up in 1897. Circulation had passed 30,000 volumes per year and the librarians were finding increasing demands on their time for aid with reference material.
Our outlook toward the future is bright with the anticipation of a new building to be furnished by the generous spirit of Mrs. Cary, and our counsel are already shaping toward ampler services and worthier recognition of the place that may be filled by Cary Memorial Library in Lexington.
The year 1906 was another landmark in Lexington library history. In that year the Cary Library moved into new quarters at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Clarke Street, the site which it still occupies. Dedicated on July 16, 1906, the building was the gift of Miss Alice Butler Cary in honor of her mother. During the ceremony a speaker referred to Mrs. Cary's good qualities at length calling them corner-stones of the new edifice, which led one witness to remark that "he didn't leave a corner-stone unturned!" In the words of the Trustees who re-named the library Cary Memorial Library,
The building commemorates the sterling qualities and upright character of William Harris Cary and Maria Hastings Cary. It is a token of fervent, filial devotion and of loyal citizenship, and it is dedicated to the advancement of character through the love of literature.
The Library building was officially named Cary Memorial Library.
Once in its new quarters, Cary Memorial Library made advances in many areas. Added space made exhibits possible and the Massachusetts Library Art Club provided 17 exhibits of photography in the first year of Cary's operation. In 1910 a music collection was added through the generous gift of Mrs. Charles C. Goodwin and, in that same year, the Lexington Historical Society transferred its book collection to the library's care.
From World War I through the Depression there were few drastic changes in library affairs. The bulletin board, a gift from Hallie C. Blake, was set up in 1919 and aroused much interest in library circles as a means of educating the public to the many library services. The effect of radio on the reading public was a source of worry in one Trustee's report, but the people of Lexington continued to use the library more than ever before.
When Miss Kirkland retired in 1939, Ralph A. Nason was appointed to take her place.
Again the problem facing the library was space, but World War II intervened and it wasn't until 1946 that any changes were authorized. In that year the East Lexington Branch was completely remodeled and renovated. Two years later the stacks of the main library were remodeled, creating space for a children's area and for 10,000 additional volumes.
During the 1950's Lexington began to experience its tremendous postwar expansion and again the library needed more space. By votes of the Town Meeting in 1955 and 1956, an addition to Cary Memorial Library was authorized and ground-breaking ceremonies were held in March of 1957. With the exception of the Lexington Room the entire project — addition and renovation of the original structure — was completed and opened in 1958 with no interruption in library service. The Lexington Room was completed in 1959. The new building included a Children's Library, a music and art room, a reference area, and other facilities which proved a boon to library service.
A collection of recordings, started in the 1940's and considerably expanded during the next decade, continued to be used heavily by the library's patrons. Mr. Nason also initiated a project of microfilming the Lexington Minute Man. (The library now has every issue from 1871 to the present on microfilm.)
By 1960 circulation had expanded to over 400,000 books, the highest per capita circulation of any medium-sized public library in Massachusetts. When Ralph Nason resigned in 1961, the Trustees' report mourned the "end of an era, characterized by the dedicated service of a few faithful employees who lived in Lexington and for Lexington and Cary Library; who gave of their time and effort with little thought of numbers of hours scheduled or salary increases granted. We shall be ever grateful to them for their outstanding contribution to this town."
Plans have been made for programs throughout 1962 in the areas of adult education, art exhibits, and film showings. An increased effort in public relations will stress talks to groups, publication of book lists, and newspaper publicity in the hope that 1962 will see the potential of this library more fully realized and its position of leadership in the community strengthened.
In his first annual report Karl Nyren, Cary's sixth director, thus indicated that his efforts would be put toward making the community aware of the library and its services and toward increasing its use as a cultural center. The first project in this endeavor was a film, "The Fifth Freedom," made at the Cary Memorial Library under Mr. Nyren's guidance. The film explained the operation of a medium-sized library with emphasis on the essentials of good library served; its purpose was to encourage people to exercise their freedom to read.
Monthly art exhibits became a regular feature at Cary in 1962. An anonymous gift in honor of Dr. Fred S. Piper provided the curtains and picture mouldings which transformed the area adjacent to the reference room into a small gallery. At the same time the library established an original print collection, including the works of about fifty American artists, which allowed patrons to rent prints for use in their homes or offices. As far as it is possible to determine, Cary was the first library to circulate original prints. (This service has since been discontinued.)
Mr. Nyren was an innovator. He instituted special children' s programs, film showings in off-hours, musical programs, and adult discussion groups.
Members of earlier Boards of Trustees would have rejoiced in the report of 1964 that "the demand among adults is for less fiction and more non-fiction." Already noted for its collections on Thoreau (gift of Dr. Fred Piper) and on the American Revolution, Cary concentrated on its non-fiction acquisitions in those years, strengthening them in the special areas of business, science, etc., often aided by donations from local businesses or individuals.
Perhaps the most significant development of Mr. Nyren's term was that of a book selection policy, placing emphasis on the individual's freedom to make his or her own choice of books, and putting the responsibility of children's reading in the hands of parents. The policy concludes,
The value to society in maintaining a library which encourages the free development of the individual, a library which old and young know is in no sense a propaganda agency of any dominant class or government, is too great to be sacrificed to the comfort of those who would extend their personal taboos to the community at large.
In 1967 Robert C. Hilton succeeded Mr. Nyren as director and it was under his aegis that the first century of Cary Memorial Library ended and the second hundred years began.
A second addition was completed.
Shortly after the arrival of Carol Mahoney as director of the Cary Memorial Library, plans for a third renovation got underway.
The Cary Memorial Library opened in its temporary location at Cary Hall on January 21, 2001. A ground-breaking ceremony was held on the lawn at Cary Memorial Library on June 28, 2001 and demolition and construction began soon after.
On April 20, 2004 the newly renovated and expanded library opened featuring enhanced public service space, a Children's Room nearly tripled in size, and state-of–the-art technology and systems. Gracefully restored historic spaces and a meeting room were equipped to serve the community's 21st century needs.

"Contrary to the wishful thinking of Washington Democrats, the American people can't be fooled. Four years later and hard-working families are getting hit with higher premiums and fewer choices. Seniors enrolled in Medicare are now at risk of losing their plans, benefits, and doctors. And, American job creators are being forced to navigate an endless web of bureaucratic red tape that leaves them with less certainty and more confusion. No matter how you spin this, it's four years later and Americans are reminded of the failures of a misguided health law and of countless broken promises coming out of this White House."
Since the Obama Administration has begun implementing the law, several nonpartisan experts have warned of the adverse economic impact the health care law will have on American individuals, families and job creators:
JOB LOSS: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that the President's health care law would eliminate 2.3 million American jobs in 2021.
PREMIUM SPIKES: The Office of the Chief Actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) found that two-thirds of Americans that work at small businesses, roughly 11 million workers, will see their premiums rise under ObamaCare.
LOSS OF COVERAGE: Last month, CBO reported that 7 million employees will actually lose their employer-sponsored coverage under ObamaCare.

Sabrina and Kyle are both in the wild card category as related to participating. I'd rather see either one of them before Carson. The 2 of them can dance. Carson's comic, but not the best dancer of the 3.
Sabrina and Kyle are both in the wild card category as related to participating. I'd rather see either one of them before Carson. The 2 of them can dance. Carson's comic, but not the best dancer of the 3.
Disney and ABC are part of the same company. As long as DWTS exists, there will be Disney kids among the celebrities.
The only contestant I think won't stand a chance is Kelly Monaco. I predict she's the first one eliminated. I hope she's not foisted onto Tristan or Val. They both deserve someone a little more gifted.
Forgot to add that Kelly's biggest issue might her work schedule. Her character is part of a major plot line right now. The writers may or may not be able to lessen her dialogue by September or do some advance filming, etc.
Sabrina is a great dancer, but she didn't have the fan base to get her to the end. Other than DWTS and Cheetah Girls (which I only heard of because of DWTS. Is the group even still together?), I don't know if she's 'current' anymore.
Kyle Massey was also fun to watch, but as a supporting actor in a show that's no longer on air, I dont' know if he has strong fan base support.
Above site has their 'rankings' of the All-Stars. Not sure if I agree with all of it.
I don't think that was missed on anyone, Olympia... but like Ang says - football players aren't the only one: soap stars and basketball players also get a lot of help from their fans.
Oh. Okay. With that I agree; soap stars certainly have a following. And Osmonds! And basketball players to, of course, though their height often makes them less graceful, so they lose votes with the general public.
Not that I mind that the more popular or better known celebrities get more votes. Followers mean viewers, which mean ratings. That keeps a show going and popular. I don't get as distressed if "my" dancers don't win as I would if, say "my' skaters don't win at the Olympics. These things are going to happen. The only time it bothers me is if a clearly less talented contestant beats someone who's really good. I mean, if Metta World Peace had made it all the way to the end on the strength of his sports excellence, I'd have been very peeved.
I always find it interesting that models often get the fewest votes. I guess this proves that the show is watched mostly by women.
I wouldn't say it isn't watched by as many men... it's just that they don't vote as often/hard.
Link to the pairs.. surprised that some were re-matched with their prior pro's.
I actually like that Bristol Palin appears on this--she's like the Tonya Harding of DWTS.
^ Except that Tonya Harding could skate.
well it's not like she could get a "real job"

Impressive Imps make Cup appeal
The FA Cup replay with the biggest carrot at the end of it is Mansfield v Lincoln and that is where my midweek selection comes from.
- Related Content
The two Conference rivals have to meet again after Mansfield struck in the third minute of stoppage time to secure a 3-3 draw in the initial meeting at Sincil Bank.
That was obviously a big blow to Lincoln but there has been plenty of time to recover and the reward of a bumper third-round tie at home to Liverpool provides all the motivation needed.
The Imps prepared for the game with a 4-2 win at Dartford on Saturday and boss David Holdsworth made eight changes to help keep some of his key players fresh.
Holdsworth admitted after the success in Kent that it has been tough to prepare for Wednesday night's clash with the need to go in "fully loaded" at Field Mill.
"We've got to protect the club," he told BBC Radio Lincolnshire.
"We've got to go fully loaded into the next game, which I think has grasped a lot of people. Managing that is quite tough.
"We've been focused and I'm delighted with the performance."
Lincoln are on a great run of form on the road with only one defeat in seven away games and there have been some hugely impressive results during the sequence.
League One Walsall were dispatched after extra time in the first round of the FA Cup and a very tricky replay at Conference North promotion contenders FC Halifax was negotiated with a 2-0 win in the fourth qualifying round.
Wrexham, who sit second in the Conference, were hit by a 4-2 Lincoln success at the Racecourse and the victories against Dartford and Barrow were also noteworthy accomplishments.
Mansfield sit alongside the Imps on the edge of the Conference play-off race but they aren't for me in this contest.
The Stags could well make a late push for promotion but the very disappointing FA Trophy defeat against Matlock a couple of weeks ago proves they can't be trusted.
Lincoln are the tip to face Liverpool next and 11/4 for the win inside 90 minutes is well worth taking.

Monet understood that a Japanese garden symbolised the essence of nature: water, mountains, forests in microcosm. His paintings of a fragment of the waterlily pool, reflecting in its depths the trees and the sky above, also expressed the wholeness of nature.
Early pictures of the pool painted in 1903–04 contain elements of the world beyond, willow branches or a distant bank, enabling the viewer to measure space. Later paintings represented nothing but water, reflections and the floating islands of waterlilies — a measureless space.
In 1914 Monet began planning huge stretches of painting that would surround the spectator, and which would represent the surface of the pool, sometimes framed by willows or curved banks.
His conception was undoubtedly influenced by the scale and format of the pairs of multi-fold Japanese screens that could then be seen in Paris. In such screens mist or clouds evoke a dissolving, fluctuating space. Sometimes the central panels seem to be empty, yet they draw the spectator into an infinite space.
Monet began painting his great six-metre long painting of the waterlily pool when he was over 80. Like some of the great Japanese screens, this is a painting of empty space, the space between reflective water and reflected sky — a nothingness into which individual consciousness dissolves.
The painted screens depicted here are of the type known in Japanese as byobu, literally meaning 'protection against the wind'. These portable screens provided temporary division of interior spaces in traditional Japanese buildings where there were large open spaces and few walls. The combined painting surface of a number of panels allowed artists to work on large-scale compositions.
With the central section often free of the descriptive elements that frame a screen, artists could create an illusion of a broad expanse of space. Decorative painted screens were often covered with paper-thin sheets of gold or silver leaf to dazzling and ostentatious effect.These fields of gold and silver decorated with paint symbolise aspects of nature such as sunshine or moonlight, day and night, and the changing seasons. The screens should be viewed from right to left in the traditional Japanese manner.

Gotta Love A Wedge
"I wore these around the house and they're comfortable out of the box and true to size (8). But the leather at the toe cut-out is stiff and tough and cuts right below my big toes' cuticles. I really don't want to stick a small bandaid on my both toes for protection either. I may try softening that area up with leather conditioner and see if that helps. I purchased in brown; anyone have this problem in Black?"

Panama City Beach, Florida
Come Swim With Dolphins!
Book Online!
All ages same low price: $49 per person or
$249 to have the boat to yourself
(up to 6 people, including children)
Swim with Panama City's resident pod of wild bottle-nosed dolphins in their natural home on your trip aboard super-fast boats specially designed for finding and visiting with the dolphins. We'll put you in the water before the dolphins arrive. That way, the dolphins are more likely to come to us rather than swim away.
Unlike the larger tour boats that carry up to 150 people, Blue Dolphin Tours carries only 6 passengers (children included). We can have you in the water with your snorkel gear on quickly and without all the splashing and disruptions that large groups create, often frightening the dolphins away.
We have 5 boats for larger groups, up to 24 persons limited to 6 per boat.
Your captain will instruct you on the best means of interacting with the dolphins, such as swimming parallel with the dolphins rather than swimming toward them or reaching out for them.
We offer small group and personal tours for a customized wildlife adventure. This tour has it all! For larger groups we have five identical boats.
Discover wildlife including birds of prey, pelicans, underwater creatures and herons. Explore the Shell Island area for sand dollars and shells. Snorkel grass flats and explore St. Andrews Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

Scarlets face the daunting task of travelling to Clermont Auvergne on the opening weekend on the Heineken Cup.
Scarlets face the daunting task of travelling to Clermont Auvergne on the opening weekend on the Heineken Cup.
Clermont have a formidable European record at Stade Marcel Michelin where they have not lost in three years, including their last 11 Heineken Cup matches.
The French giants, who were knocked out by eventual winners Leinster in a classic semi-final last April, sit third in the Top 14 standings having won six of their opening eight fixtures.
The Scarlets lie second in the PRO12 and have scored more tries than any other team in that competition with George North claiming an impressive five tries in as many matches.
Scarlets have never beaten Clermont.
The French side have made nine changes to the side that lost to Castres last week, recalling French internationals Aurelien Rougerie and Morgan Parra. Loose forward Gerhard Vosloo starts as he continues his comeback from injury.
Brock James is preferred to David Skrela at fly-half while Thomas Domingo, Benjamain Kayser and Davit Zirakashvili from a formidable front row.
Naipolioni Nalaga, Sitiveni Sivivatu and Lee Byrne feature in one of the most dangerous back three combinations in the competition.
Meanwhile, Head Coach Simon Easterby said the Scarlets are under no allusion as to the challenge ahead of them and said their game would have to be "close to perfect" to get a result.
"It doesn't get much tougher than travelling to Clermont; the history they have in their home ground is second to nobody and we are fully aware of the task ahead of us. There are 47 teams before us haven't been able to win there – so we respect them and what they do at home," he said.
"However, we also have to impose our game on them, as much as their back line is full of quality, ours is too and in terms of quality on paper we are fairly evenly matched.
"Clermont have such depth they have a couple of teams they can put out on the field that are capable of winning any game; they are very extremely well-drilled and very well-coached. It's a mark of a good team that they haven't hit their straps yet but they've been winning games. We know this one will be a target for them at home after losing out to Castres."
Easterby had a full squad to pick from for the big European opener, apart from this season's star wing performer Andy Fenby who is not available for selection after failing to return to fitness from a dead leg injury at last weekend's fixture.
The Scarlets draw on an impressive international clad back-line with seven Wales capped backs on duty; Rhys Priestland at fly-half, Tavis Knoyle at scrum-half, Jonathan Davies and Scott Williams in centre partnership, George North and Morgan Stoddart on the wings and Liam Williams at full-back.
Up front, the Scarlets put a new South African duo into the second-row with this season's signings Joe Snyman and George Earle combining for the first time. Impressive young Wales U20 tight head Samson Lee wins his place in the starting line-up after his man of the match performance last weekend against the Dragons alongside the very experienced front-row performers Matthew Rees at hooker and prop Phil John in an unchanged front-row.
The teams:
ASM Clermont Auvergne: 15 Lee Byrne, 14 Sitiveni Sivivatu, 13 Aurelien Rougerie, 12 Wesley Fofana, 11 Naipolioni Nalaga, 10 Brock James, 9 Morgan Parra, 8 Damien Chouly, 7 Gerhard Vosloo, 6 Julien Bonnaire, 5 Nathan Hines, 4 Jamie Cudmore, 3 Davit Zirakashvili, 2 Benjamin Kayser, 1 Thomas Domingo.
Replacements: 16 Ti'i Paulo, 17 Vincent Debaty, 18 Daniel Kotze, 19 Julien Pierre, 20 Elvis Vermeulen, 21 Loic Jacquet, 21 Ludovic Radosavljevic, 22 David Skrela, 23 Benson Stanley.
Scarlets: 15 Liam Williams, 14 George North, 13 Jonathan Davies, 12 Scott Williams, 11 Morgan Stoddart, 10 Rhys Priestland, 9 Tavis Knoyle, 8 Rob McCusker (capt), 7 Josh Turnbull, 6 Aaron Shingler, 5 Johan Snyman, 4 George Earle, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Matthew Rees, 1 Phil John.
Replacements: 16 Ken Owens, 17 Shaun Hopkins, 18 Deacon Manu, 19 Sione Timani, 20 Kieran Murphy, 21 Gareth Davies, 22 Aled Thomas, 23 Gareth Maule.

Chapter 7
Solomon builds himself a house—Hiram of Tyre makes the two pillars, the molten sea, the ten bases, the ten lavers, and all the vessels for the temple—The molten sea (baptismal font) rests on the backs of twelve oxen.

3 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.
5 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.
6 ¶And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick
7 ¶Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
8 ¶And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for
9 All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.
10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 And above were costly stones, after the measures of

14 He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with
15 For he cast two
16 And he made two
17 And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
18 And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.
19 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were
21 And he set up the
22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
23 ¶And he made a molten

25 It stood upon

28 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:
29 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.
30 And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
32 And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.
34 And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.
35 And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.
36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved
37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.

Headlines (Campus Updates)
Laurier awarded 2014 Environmental Recognition Award
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Apr 23/14
The City of Brantfords Environmental Policy Advisory Committee (EPAC) awarded Laurier with the 2014 Environmental Recognition Award in the Green Non-profit category, in recognition of sustainability design standards for major construction projects.
Brian Rosborough, senior executive officer at Lauriers Brantford campus, was joined by Claire Bennett, Lauriers sustainability coordinator, at city council on Tuesday to receive the award from Brantford Mayor Chris Friel.
The award was presented in recognition of the Research and Academic Centre West and East, the second and third building in Brantford to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified by the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC). The west building was certified in March 2013, and the east building in February 2014.
The LEED certification process is extremely rigorous, and Laurier pursued it to showcase our commitment to sustainable building practices and community leadership, said Bennett. Benefits from the sustainable design standards include improved air and water quality less fossil fuels use and significantly reduced carbon emissions and greenhouse gases.
Sustainable features of the Research and Academic Centre include: low-flow water fixtures, high-efficiency glass, no-irrigation vegetation, natural day lighting with super energy efficient light fixtures, bike storage, elimination of refrigerant coolant HCFCs, regional and recycled materials, reduced parking and hard surfaces, a solar-reflecting roof and construction waste diversion.
This is the second year that the EPAC has given out these recognition awards. In 2013, Laurier alumnus Reuben DeBoer (12) received the award in the Youth Leadership category. He was recognized for spearheading many sustainability initiatives at Laurier including serving as the founding coordinator of the EcoHawks, overseeing the implementation of an organic waste and composting program and the installation of water bottle refill stations, and establishing a sustainability fee for Laurier Brantford students to fund sustainability office initiatives that promote environmental awareness on campus.
More information on the Research and Academic Centre is available here, and more information about Lauriers Sustainability Office is here.

A sermon taken from John 21. 15-19 and preached by Bishop Ken Carter on June 18, 2016, upon the occasion of the licensing, commissioning and ordination of women and men for the ministry of the gospel of Jesus Christ, at the Florida Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church meeting in Orlando, Florida.
On the Move
"For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord…(Jer. 29:11) Paulette Monroe It is indeed an honor to have been elected as your Conference lay leader for the next quadrennium of the Florida Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. I understand that one of my primary roles is to advocate for and to be a representative of the laity, working in partnership with the bishop to represent the interests of the laity. I understand that I am to foster the awareness of the role ...
Reporting from Portland
By Rachael Sumner, Lay Delegate: I have received texts and Facebook messages all day asking how General Conference is going and what the mood and attitude is like out here today. I'll be honest. It's been a tough day. This morning Bishop Ough made a statement on behalf of the Council of Bishops regarding the Church's division over human sexuality. If you didn't see it, you can watch it here.
Reporting from Portland
Janet Earls, Lay Delegate: Thursday I felt energized and excited. Friday started out good. After talking with our other delegates, it seems after lunch we all lost steam, some had headaches. Our subcommittee in Local Church did great collaborative work so the afternoon was adopting or rejecting the 2 subcommittees work on petitions. While we have had some minor struggles our committee is good. Glad I am here.
Reporting from Portland
By Rachael Sumner, Lay Delegate: I am serving on the General Administration Legislative Committee. A large part of what my sub-committee is dealing with is Plan UMC Revised. For those that don't know, Plan UMC was a plan to restructure agencies within the United Methodist Church. It was adopted at the 2012 General Conference and then ruled unconstitutional afterward by the Judicial Council.
Reporting from Portland
By Alex Shanks, Clergy Delegate: As I was cleaning out my files in preparation for our move this summer, I found a devotion I gave 16 years ago to the 2000 delegation to the General Conference. I was a student at Florida Southern at the time, serving as a lay delegate. The focus of the devotion was on the passage from 2 Timothy 1:7: "God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline." Looking back at the dated devotion, I again reflected on the question I...
Reporting from Portland
By Rachael Sumner, Lay Delegate: In a few weeks, The United Methodist Church will hold its General Conference in Portland, Oregon. General Conference convenes every 4 years and United Methodists come from all over the world to worship together, pray together and discern together the direction God would have our denomination go. That is the hope anyway, that when we come together as a body, we will listen for the Holy Spirit to guide our thoughts and hearts into action and polity that is of God. ...
The Bishop's Blog Reporting from Portland
"So what do you think will happen at the General Conference?" I am often asked that question these days. Underneath the question there are a variety of unspoken emotions: fear, anxiety, sadness, anticipation, excitement. It is a question that is voiced this year, and perhaps this year there is more urgency, but it is one we have asked for years.

A lot more goes into sheep showmanship than the 15 minutes spent in the performance arena.
Hannah Hardy, 15, of Parker, won first-place in the senior sheep showmanship competition at the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo on Aug. 3. She paraded her animal around for a quarter of an hour, making it past initial cuts and eventually being singled out as the champion.
"It's not that I do anything especially well, it's just that I have so much confidence in myself and confidence in my animal," she said.
What she does do especially well, however, is train. Since beginning to work with her sheep in March, she has spent an hour or more a day with it in the barn.
"It just takes a lot of time and effort," Hardy said.
The goal of sheep showmanship, in a nutshell, is to display a well-behaved and groomed animal as if the displayer isn't there at all. A skilled presenter holds his or her sheep's head, keeping the animal stretched, wide and rigid. It's a constant battle, always fiddling with the sheep's legs and maintaining awareness of where the judge is standing.
"You want to show off the sheep as best you can," said runner-up Sydney Buckley, 15, of Douglas County.
There were 14 entrants into the senior sheep showmanship division. The field was whittled to six before the judge announced the winners.
Buckley said she has shown sheep for seven years, getting into the activity to follow in her mother's footsteps. Hardy also has a long history in the arena, traveling to several national and local competitions.
The Douglas County Fair and Rodeo shifts into high gear Aug. 4, a free admission day. Doors open at 4 p.m., with several rodeo events and concerts on the agenda. The fair will run through the weekend and wrap up Aug. 7.

On July 7 at approximately 11 a.m. a call came into 911 saying a woman hiker had fallen in the Mary's bathtub area in Straight Canyon. This area is east of the dam at Joe's Valley.
The female fell down a steep embankment and had a compound fracture to her leg. The Emery County Sheriff's Office and search and rescue team as well as the High Angle rope rescue responded. It was determined the area was too steep and littered with loose rock to attempt a rescue.
EMTs administered first aid to the woman on the mountain side. LifeFlight was notified and arrived on the scene. A technician was lowered down to the victim on a hoist cable. The technician and the victim were both raised to the helicopter. The helicopter then landed in the bottom of the canyon where traffic had been stopped. The patient was stabilized and then transported to Utah Valley Hospital where she underwent surgery to repair the broken leg.
The woman was hiking with a youth group at the time of the accident. The victim was identified as Mrs. Cunningham from Price.
