Hotel Capacity:Total Number of Rooms - 50
The Philippos enjoys an excellent location in the heart of the old city. The area around the hotel is one of the most peaceful and quiet spots in Athens and yet it takes just 15 minutes or so to walk to the central square of Syntagma and the Parliament building.
The hotel is also close to several tavernas, the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum and the popular ancient theatre, Herodus Atticus. A metro station and tram station are both just a few steps away. And one stop on the tram will take you straight into the centre of the city's main shopping area.
This family run hotel offers excellent value for money. It has a welcoming feel and contemporary decor. Some of the rooms have balconies, but for the best views of the Acropolis at sunset, the rooftop terrace is a must.
Breakfast is served in the coffee shop. For lunch and dinner, you could either sample one of the city's many excellent tavernas, or dine at Philippos's sister hotel, Herodion. This is just a short walk away and has a lovely restaurant and atrium-located coffee shop.

By JASON AND TRINA BRANSONOrangeville
Dear Editor:
We are the owners of the infamous gazebo in Orangeville. For two and one half years we have been threatened with court and illegally charged twice for not obtaining a building permit. These charges were dropped and filed in District Court. In order to clear up rumors, and address concerns so this issue may be brought to a close we want to share our experience.
In the summer of 2002 we put a gazebo to the side of our home. For six weeks we worked on the gazebo. During this time we had no interaction with the zoning officer or anyone from Orangeville City. After eight weeks we received a letter from Orangeville City requesting we remove two little Aspen trees (planted two years prior) that were too close to a future sidewalk. The zoning officer came to discuss trees and noticed our gazebo for the first time. He informed us the street was our frontage road and the gazebo would need to be moved to meet a 25 foot setback requirement. The address on our city bill had the other street as the frontage road. We were told to get a building permit. Overnight our gazebo became an accessory building, (shed) requiring a 40 foot setback.
We were told to attend a planning and zoning meeting. A representative from the association of governments explained that the purpose for a setback was to prevent a line of sight problem. He advised that the board of adjustments could make a special exception in this situation as it was not a line of sight problem. He informed them that a variance could not be used by anything that was caused by man, but a special exception was a good option. At the planning and zoning meeting we did not receive feedback to questions about accessory buildings, and definitions. We were advised by the consultant from the AOG not to move the gazebo, but wait to hear back from the commission. We did not hear back from the commission.
We were the only city in the state with a 40 foot setback requirement on corner lots because of the accessory building portion of the policy. The average setback is 8 to 25 feet. (Within a few short weeks after we were ordered to move our gazebo 40 feet, our city changed their setback to 25 feet). In Orangeville City's code book under "Main Dwellings and all other Structures", the policy that applies already requires only a 25 foot setback on the side lot of the corner. This same ordinance also specifically lists carports as other structures. Recently our planning and zoning administrator insisted a carport was an accessory building requiring a 40 foot setback At the last city council meeting another ordinance was passed making a carport an accessory building only if it is enclosed on three sides. The difference that would not allow us this 25 foot setback was the insistence our gazebo was an accessory building (shed) rather than falling under "All other Structures." A gazebo, carports and all dwellings and structures already have a 25 foot setback and these two ordinances that have recently been passed are already covered in the code book. The insistence that a gazebo was an accessory building was intended to implement the strictest use of the codes possible. The situations above are examples of how ordinances can be purposely used by a few people to adversely affect citizens. To cover these situations up, policies on top of policies are being adopted.
With four days notice the zoning officer and secretary called telling us to come to the board of adjustments with our property drawn to scale. Without requested information, enough time to draw our property, combined with a conflicting work schedule we were not able to attend. We assumed we would have another opportunity, and hoped to get a definition of an accessory building so we could be adequately prepared to advocate for a special exception as we had been advised.
We received a letter from the board of adjustments informing us that our issue was discussed (without us present) and we were denied a variance (we were told we could not legally ask for). We were given 30 days to move our gazebo or be charged with a Class C Misdemeanor. We were not given the option to appeal (as outlined in city codes) this decision. We were charged for not obtaining a building permit and for an improper setback (Twice). It was evident the intent was to take us to court. We simply allowed this small handful of people to follow their agenda.
One volunteer who has served on the planning and zoning, and the board of adjustments for nearly 30 years has also voted on both boards. Recently the city decided to implement term limits that were in the code book and should have been followed all along. Though there is not a 30 term listed, this volunteer is still on planning and zoning and board of adjustments. We are grateful to have new members on these boards and feel that volunteers who have controlled decisions and have influenced others on these boards should make room for "New Blood".
Eleven months after the board of appeals denied us a variance and threatened us with court, our attorney informed the city we had not been given a chance to appeal. At 13 months we had an appeal, only to have it continued to the next month due to information we shared about building permit requirements. We appealed to the board that we had illegally been charged with not obtaining a building permit. We were denied a permit we were never required to get. We told the members about the IBC Codes (specifically the IRC) and informed them that anything less than 200 square feet did not require a building permit. David McKay with the Building Codes Council also advised us our gazebo was a decoration and setback requirements were not relevant. Members of the board asked us to bring phone numbers and more information.
The next month we brought requested information but were told we could not have input. We were not allowed to share the requested information with the board. (We believe this information could have prevented litigation). The secretary informed us it was illegal for the board to go against the decision of the zoning administrator, (see The Utah State Code 10-9-703 Powers and Duties).
(1) The board of adjustment shall hear and decide:
(a) Appeals from zoning decisions applying the zoning ordinance;
(b) Special exceptions to the terms of the zoning ordinance.
(c) Variances from the terms zoning ordinance.
(2) The board may make determinations regarding the existence, expansion, or modification of nonconforming uses.
The requirements for a variance were read to us and we did not fit the requirements. (We were asking for a special exception).
Being sent to the board of adjustments to ask for a variance continues to be a big concern for citizens in Orangeville. To go to this board one must fill out an application requesting a variance, (The only duty recognized by the board is listed above as c). In most situations a variance does not apply. A request is always denied as it never did fit the situation or need of the citizen. The zoning administrator sends citizens to the board of adjustments if they want to appeal his decision, yet this is not an option when they get there. It is hoped that newer members on this board will recognize and rectify this dilemma, (Catch 22).
Although not informed of this right by Orangeville City, we were advised we could appeal to district court. Orangeville City policies require an appeal to be filed within 30 days of the decision. After 66 days we received the letter we needed stating the decision so we could file an appeal. Of course, it was too late.
Orangeville City hired attorneys from Salt Lake and took us to district court, alleging we gave up our right to appeal. Recent changes have been made to support Emery County and keep business local. Our city should also hire local representation. (We currently have lawyers from Salt Lake advising our city government on legalities and policies. We have very competent lawyers in our area who have the benefit of living here and understanding the needs of small rural cities).
In October 2003, we informed the city council about International Codes that had been adopted by the state as far back as 2000. The code does not require a building permit for anything less than 200 square feet. (David Mckay, Building Codes Council). The city council had never heard of these codes as previous information we tried to share was not passed on. A previous city councilman laughed and made rude comments while this information was being presented. At this time we had been illegally charged for not obtaining a building permit twice. We have been concerned that our city who has not been in compliance for several years was taking citizens to court for not being in compliance. We felt if our council had correct information they would work with us and listen to us. This was to no avail. The agenda to take us to court was being pushed forward and options for communication were running out. Moving our gazebo under these circumstances would only encourage the mistreatment of others.
On June 14, Orangeville City posted notices that they had recently adopted International Codes. These codes, when adopted by the state, are adopted statewide and the 200 square foot requirement has been in effect as far back as 2000. Orangeville City announced that they were going to adopt these codes in their "Grapevine" newsletter back in April, but continued to charge residents for building permits that were not required by this code. If you have been charged for a permit for anything under 200 square feet in the last four years, you need a refund. (Contact us for letter from Jeff Whitney who is President of Utah Chapter of ICC). If you have heard that these codes are new or they can be adopted at leisure, contact Whitney.
At a recent planning and zoning meeting we shared a letter from Jeff Whitney, President of the International Codes Council. Newer volunteers and city council members have been led to believe that city governments are automatically allowed to be more restrictive than International Codes. Currently only six cities in our state have ever filed for an amendment to the codes. Orangeville is not one of them.
A few months ago, with six days to answer to allegations from attorney's that had been retained by Orangeville City, we requested the public minutes. We were told they were unavailable and no one could view them. We requested a statement explaining why we could not have access to the minutes. In the statement we were advised as soon as the minutes were available we would be contacted. The minutes were being archived at the courthouse. Twenty Five days went by and minutes were requested again. The next morning the minutes were retrieved from the courthouse and made available to us. Later we found that the minutes were accessible all along.
The agenda to take us to court was being pushed forward and options for communication were running out. Moving our gazebo under these circumstances and others not mentioned would only encourage the mistreatment of others:
*No contact was made with us during the two months we worked on our gazebo.
*We were given conflicting reasons for removing our gazebo.
*Our gazebo was called an accessory building so we would be required to move it 40 feet. (Codes recently adopted to change the setback to 25 feet are already in the code book. These codes should have been applied in our situation.
*We were never red tagged or asked to stop construction but accused of not stopping.
*Anxious to press charges an appeal was overlooked.
*We did not get to appeal a decision, but were denied a variance.
*We were told to get a building permit, denied, and then charged twice for not obtaining one.
*Charges were dropped twice. (Reasons unknown).
*Crucial information we shared was not passed on or believed.
*Salt Lake City attorneys were hired and building permit was still an issue even though Orangeville City had announced they were adopting these codes.
*Orangeville City attorneys advised them not to speak with us due to litigation making it impossible for us to verify where they would allow the gazebo to be moved.
*The requirement for us to get a permit was illegal as the city was not in compliance with IRC codes.
*Although we graciously shared this information the city council was still influenced to take us to court.
*Attempts to meet with us were encouraged by one city council member and by sabotaged by another who is not longer on the council
*We were denied public minutes while trying to answer allegations.
*To date, our mayor made no attempt to ever speak with us.
We have seen how a small handful of people can manipulate city government, policies and codes and sabotage citizens. We do not hold our whole city government completely responsible for a few, but encourage our city officials to acknowledge this problem and take action. Over the past few months we have continued to see the strictest use of the codes, rather than using the codes to favor the citizens. We know there are many citizens who share our concerns. In recent Letters to the Editor we have shared situations and frustrations from citizens in Orangeville. Because these citizens have stood up for themselves, issues have often been resolved in their favor.
Standing up for what is right often comes with sacrifice and many are faced with this challenge. Being taken to court seems extreme in Orangeville, but could become more and more common as the process involved is becoming common treatment of citizens. Because of a few who were determined to take us to court as they so threatened, they demonstrate their motivation better than anyone. We believe we are a symptom of a problem that needs to be addressed. Our goal is to help others avoid going through what we have.
We appreciate the city officials, employees, and citizen volunteers, who are positively motivated to serve the citizens of Orangeville.
Life is too short to hold grudges or harbor hurt feelings. Life is also too short not to work towards change. We encourage involvement and are grateful for a free country, democracy, the right to stand up for what we feel is right, advocate for others, and the right to vote.
Utah State Code 10-9-703 Powers and Duties:
You build a fence that does not meet with zoning ordinances as it is a few inches too high. A shorter fence would defeat the purpose for having a fence. You have neighbors and others in town with fences that do not meet the strictness of the codes. You get red-tagged.
Planning and zoning administrator sends you to the board of adjustments if you want to appeal his decision.
Instead of the board listening to your appeal on the zoning decision (a) or considering special exceptions (b), you are in front of a variance committee.
You are required to fill out an application for a variance. A variance has absolutely nothing to do with your situation and does not apply to the reason you were sent to the board in the first place. You pay $25 to participate.
The board denies you a variance because you do not fit any of the requirements. You do not get to appeal the decision of the zoning administrator because your situation does not fall under conditions that meet variances. The variance you could not ask for will be denied. If you want to appeal this decision, you can file through district court.
You may wonder what happened to your chance to appeal the decision of the zoning administrator who sent you to this process in the first place. You have not been given an option to appeal this decision. This is a "Catch 22," a map for failure.
You have not been given a chance to communicate with anyone but the zoning administrator, who enforces the codes and has red-tagged you and sent you to the board of adjustments where he knows you will only be given an option to request a variance that you cannot legally ask for and does not apply to you.
Recently two citizens attending the same board of adjustments meeting realized they were in the wrong place as variances did not apply to them. These citizens do not lack education about this process, they were sent there if they wanted to appeal the decision of the Zoning Administrator. They wet where they were sent to find out they could not accomplish what they were sent there for. Who lacks in the education process? No amount of clarity that tries to inform citizens about variances will ever clear up this issue as long as the zoning administrator is sending citizens to this board to appeal his decisions and the board of adjustments fails to recognize they can hear these appeals and alter these decisions by allowing for special exceptions that are not so limited.
These citizens were sent back to planning and zoning to go through a process of trying to change ordinances. You would think looking into special exceptions would be the answer.
This is an interesting (Catch 22) situation because planning and zoning recently started requiring citizens to fill out an application to come before them. The problem here is they also state, "That if someone has already spoke with the zoning administrator they do not have any reason to go to planning and zoning." Again, we still have the zoning administrator sending people to the board of adjustments to ask for a variance. He makes all the decisions on his own rather than in conjunction with planning and zoning. Most likely he will send them on to the board of adjustments where they will find the very name of the committee a huge disappointment.
Who has the power to hear appeals or grant special exceptions to the zoning ordinances? The board of adjustments claim they do not have this power. (Indeed, it may be that someone has forgot to give it to them by addressing this problem in the Orangeville City Code Book).
Apparently the planning and zoning can give a few special exceptions, but none that apply. The same with the board of adjustments.
Adjustment means to: adapt; put in working order; to accommodate; arrangement; settlement; adaptation.
In Orangeville, we are not allowed special exceptions and those allowed are so limited that they do not apply to the needs of the citizens of Orangeville. Other special exceptions that have been allowed recently are being denied because they don't fit with the limited qualifications that allow for special exceptions. These exceptions have been granted in special meetings, but the exceptions given still go against the exceptions allowed in the code.
The code needs to be changed to allow for some board to hear appeals of zoning decisions to allow for communication and fairness.

Chuck BerryRock Musician
Born: 18 October 1926
Birthplace: St. Louis, Missouri
Best known as: Early rock legend who did "Johnny B. Goode"
Guitarist and singer Chuck Berry's output from 1955 to 1965 includes some of the earliest classics in rock history, from "Maybellene" and "Rock 'n' Roll Music" to "Sweet Little Sixteen" and "Johnny B. Goode." Berry began playing professionally in St. Louis in the early 1950s. His 1955 hit "Maybellene" made him a national star, and he followed with a string of hit records that appealed to both black and white audiences. His career was briefly derailed in the early 1960s, when he ran afoul of the law and ended up spending three years in prison. He bounced back with new recordings and performances, but his best years seemed behind him. Ironically, Berry's biggest hit came in 1972, a live recording of the innuendo-heavy novelty song, "My Ding-a-Ling." In addition to his status as a rock legend, Berry earned a reputation for unpredictable performances, erratic behavior and legal troubles (he was sentenced to more jail time in 1979 for tax evasion). Like his contemporary Little Richard, Berry is an African-American whose influence on rock 'n' roll was overshadowed by the popularity of white artists such as The Beatles and the The Rolling Stones. Nonetheless, he is recognized as one of the founders of rock 'n' roll music.
Extra credit:
Berry's signature on stage was the "duck walk" — playing the guitar while squatting and hopping on one foot… A sample of "Johnny B. Goode" was included in a compilation of music aboard the spacecraft Voyager I, launched by the United States in 1977… Berry claims he was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but others insist he was born in San Jose, California.

The TRIPS Enforcement Dispute
Peter K. Yu
Texas A&M University School of Law
September 13, 2010
Nebraska Law Review, Vol. 89, pp. 1046-1131, 2011
Drake University Law School Research Paper No. 11-16
2010 marks the fifteenth anniversary of the entering into force of the WTO TRIPS Agreement. When the Agreement was adopted, commentators quickly extolled the unprecedented benefits of having a set of multilateral enforcement norms built into the international intellectual property regime. Although intellectual property rights holders continue to rely on protection offered by the TRIPS Agreement, many of them have now become frustrated with the inadequacy of such protection. The agreement's enforcement provisions, in particular, have been criticized as weak, primitive, and obsolete.
After more than a decade of implementation, these provisions finally became the subject of a dispute before the WTO Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB"). In January 2009, the DSB released an important panel report on the U.S.-China dispute over the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights under the TRIPS Agreement. In this report, a WTO panel, for the first time, focused primarily on the interpretation and implementation of the TRIPS enforcement provisions. The release of the report is particularly timely in light of the growing demands from both developed and less developed countries for greater reform of the international intellectual property regime.
This Article provides an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of this panel report. It discusses the key arguments made by the China and the United States, the WTO panel's major findings, and the various remedial actions China has undertaken in response to the panel report. The article also discusses the many lessons the report has provided to policymakers, commentators, and intellectual property rights holders. Advancing a novel argument that the outcome of the present dispute reflects the common mistakes made by foreign businesses in China, it explains why this panel report is unlikely to result in dramatic improvements in intellectual property protection and enforcement in China. The article concludes with some concrete suggestions on how to revamp the United States' intellectual property enforcement strategy vis-à-vis China.

The CB PRO Tungsten irons are designed for players adamant about forgiveness, control, and distance. The hollow design necessitates a solid tungsten sole for optimal weighting and to support the super thin variable face thickness. The long irons are also available individually; CB PRO Tungsten utility irons are designed for players wanting easy to hit, long distance irons.
Each CB PRO Tungsten iron, 2-AW, is hollow from the top line all the way to the sole producing a more active face. To accommodate the hollow design, the top line is thicker, but the progressive set allows players to shape shots superior to traditional cavity-back irons. Exotics hollow irons greatly expand the sweet spot so it feels like a clean hit every time.
CB PRO Tungsten irons feature a heavy, solid piece of W-Ni tungsten in the sole. The W-Ni tungsten is heavier in the short irons and lighter in the long irons. The properly weighted sole lowers the C.G. to the ideal position in each iron.
The super-thin, high-strength 17-4 stainless steel face features advanced VFT for superior shot results, even on off-center hits. The VFT in the CB PRO Tungsten irons requires the sweet spot to be thicker because the free-standing face is so hot. The areas surrounding the center of the face are thinner ensuring superior results from more contact points.

At the recent Emery County Business Chamber Economic Summit the spotlight was on the Millsite Golf Course in Ferron and the recently completed back nine. With the 18 hole course more economic opportunities abound according to David Wilkey who was asked to speak on golf course promotion and development. He is the developer of the Sand Hollow golf course community near St. George. Jo Sansevero introduced Wilkey and his wife Lynn to those attending the summit. In the early development stages of the Millsite golf course back nine Wilkey visited the golf course at that time and worked with those interested in pursuing an 18 hole course.
Wilkey said promotion starts with a mind set, there are many out in the world today who forecast doom and gloom. He chooses to look on the bright side. People are surviving and they are still spending money. "Sometimes you're better off not listening," said Wilkey.
He said he scaled back his development at Sand Hollow when the crunch came, "But, we're still there. We're still promoting our golf course. We offer great service and the golf course is in great shape. Do what you need to do to keep this golf course in great shape. If the grounds keeper says we need fertilizer then get them fertilizer. Keep it green and beautiful. Give golfers a great experience." In the recession years at Sand Hollow, Wilkey said they would concentrate only on the golf course and let the real estate side rest for awhile. In those years rounds of golf played have been up 10 percent in 2009, 5 percent last year and up 5 percent this year. Last year there were 45,000 rounds of golf played.
"It's our surroundings and our uniqueness. The golf course is draped across the land, you shoot over gorges. You have that here at Millsite. You have beautiful views. I am impressed with this area. You have something special here," said Wilkey.
Wilkey told of a group of Asian tourists who were from the largest television shopping show. They hosted them and they attended a convention in Las Vegas and then came and stayed in Southern Utah. They took them golfing, to Zion's park and trap shooting and on an ATV ride all in one day and a rodeo that night. "How many things can you do here in one day? Incorporate all those opportunities into your promotional materials. Cater to tour groups. You are in close proximity to the Wasatch Front. Target people off of I-70. You have ATV riding here that can't be duplicated. You have world class fishing. You need to entertain the whole family. Teach golf lessons to the young people while their parents are golfing. The only thing you lack here is accommodations. You need to get creative. Get people talking about your golf course. Try things that are a little crazy. Look at those cliffs, dig out some caves, build accommodations in those caves. All over the world there are motels in caves. Subtropolis accommodations, these can attract people from all over the world. The trends these days are family oriented. The golf course gives you exercise and fresh air, but what are we missing? Get the family out, get golf lessons going. If people don't know how to play, then have a training facility and offer instruction. You need a bunny hill for golf for the young people.
"This is a great event (the summit), you need to get people out to the golf course, even people who don't play. Have events here at the golf course. Make it a convention center destination. Have dinners, have cook-outs on the golf course have a steak dinner, it doesn't matter, just get people out to the golf course.
"When we were starting Sand Hollow we had to convince the BLM it was a good idea, we worked with them. Get your course in the golf magazines. Word of mouth is some of the best advertising. You can hunt rabbits and then go golfing, it doesn't matter, just brainstorm think of activities and events and ways to get people out to your golf course, to golf and for other activities. We had a fundraiser golf tournament for Gov. Herbert and he told me it was one of the best weekends he'd had all year. They golfed and went to Tuachan and had a great time. On the national level we can't control much, but at the state level there are things we can do. There is great leadership in Utah. It's the healthiest state, the best managed state and it's one of the best places to start a business. Gov. Herbert is concerned about the state of Utah. The jobs are coming here. We have a quality workforce and a quality life, the people are flowing here," said Wilkey.
Wilkey told of visiting Millsite golf course after it first opened, the Leavitt brothers invited him to come and play with them. He loved it. Wilkey said the golf course needs to work on getting groups down here to discover the beauty and uniqueness of this golf course. He said one activity they might try is a giant slip and slide event on the course one day, to attract visitors with children. Create some energy and awareness. Try unique fun things to involve more people with the course. At Easter time you could turn loose Easter bunnies and the kids could find them and take them home, do something unusual out of the ordinary. Make people think, "Wow, what are those guys doing." Bring events in, down south we have a kite festival. Kevin Smith from Tuachan went and sat in Disney's offices until he got an interview, he asked them to bring Broadway to the desert. They thought it's just crazy enough it might work, so last year they brought Tarzan to Tuachan and this year they brought Little Mermaid and every performance has been sold out and they even extended the season as long as they dared. Try new ideas. Next year they are bringing in Aladdin. It brought in 2,000 people a night. Seventy percent of those people were from the outside area. You have an incredible asset here. Make sure you have a good high quality golf course. Sand Hollow was voted number one in its region.
Wilkey said he is proud to have an affiliation with Millsite and will do everything he can to help it be a success.

When War Wasn't An Analogy: Remembering Conn Smythe
Danny Gray
November 11 2011 08:09AM
Conn Smythe and others enlisting in 1939 at Maple Leaf Gardens.
The relationship between professional sports and the military has long been a complicated one. To outside observers the NFL often seems like another branch of the American Military. Don Cherry sets aside time each week on Coach's Corner to remember the fallen men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Both Brian Burke and Luke Schenn travelled to Afghanistan this summer to visit troops serving there with the latter sponsoring a program for the military men and women known as "Luke's Troops". While today the relationship is mostly symbolic, in the past the connection was much more direct. No man better demonstrates the relationship between hockey and the military than Conn Smythe.
Smythe was born February 1, 1895 just up the street from the future site of Maple Leaf Gardens. Smythe was attending the University of Toronto when he enlisted to serve in the First World War, in March of 1915. While enlisted Smythe organized a team to compete in the Ontario Hockey Association's senior league; the team never played as his 40th Battery was shipped overseas in February of 1916.
Smythe's Battery was sent to Ypres and fought for nearly two months in the trenches near the Somme. Smythe was a fearless soldier, on March 5, 1917, he was awarded the Military Cross for "dispersing an enemy party at a critical time. Himself accounted for three of the enemy with his revolver." During a German counter-attack he rushed in, shot three Germans and dragged several Canadian soldiers back to safety. No big deal.
While serving with the Royal Flying Corps Smythe was shot down in October of 1917 and held as a POW by the Germans. He made two failed escape attempts and was placed in solitary confinement as a result. He was released at the end of the war. Then he came home and founded the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In September of 1939 after the outbreak of the Second World War the league contemplated cancelling the season. According to September 1939 New York Times article the seven NHL teams decided that the season would continue as schedule despite the outbreak of war. "President Frank Calder of Montreal said he understood some players had already enlisted in Canadian units but that the league policy would be to "carry on" indefinitely.
While Mr. Calder did not believe that conscription would be necessary he stated that should it come to that the league would "attempt to operate with the best personnel it can muster". While the NHL was trying to distance itself from the War, Conn Smythe had other ideas.
Conn Smythe enlisting a Toronto reporter.
At the outbreak of the Second World War Smythe was GM of the Leafs. In the early summer of 1940 he circulated a letter to his Maple Leaf players instructing them to "sign up immediately with some non-permanent militia unit and get your military training in as soon as possible" as "you might be wanted immediately" and "you might be wanted for a comparatively long time".
Smythe did not believe that they would necessarily be needed to serve but it was best to be prepared in case they were called upon. Smythe reminded the players that "in the meantime, until called upon, you have a job to do at home." Their job was "to report fit and ready to play the best hockey of your career for the Toronto Maple Leafs this winter… and you must have had your military training, which, incidentally, should send you down here fit." He also reminded players that they would require a Passport to travel to the United States.
The article summarizing the letter also made note that the Leafs were "no strangers to military training". In the fall of 1939 for "more than a month" the Leafs "underwent machine-gun drills" and "reported daily for lectures and practical instruction and made marked progress in general militia training." Smythe wanted his Leafs to be ready to serve if called upon.
Early in the war there was speculation that Smythe might quit his job to join the military. On January 16, 1941 Smythe said that he would enlist in the army "anytime they give me a job". Speculation was rampant as Smythe missed a meeting with the League's Board of Governors to make a visit to Ottawa. According to Smythe he was there "to 'help out' a friend with private business". While he was eager to serve Canada should the opportunity arise he said "in the meantime 'I'm going back to Toronto to watch the Leafs win a hockey game."
Soon after Conn was back serving with the Canadian Military. In 1941 he formed the 30th Battery. It was a sportsmen's anti-aircraft battery, part of the 7th Toronto Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, Canadian Active Army. Smythe was made acting major and Officer Commanding. His battery first served on Vancouver Island and was then sent to England in 1942. He spent two years there before being sent to France in July of 1944.
On July 29 1944 the Washinton Post reported that Smythe had been "severely wounded" in France "following an enemy bombing attack some nights ago". Toronto Star War Correspondent Frederick Griffin reported that Smythe "was in charge of an anti-aircraft battery defending French bridges held by Canadian troops.
During the attack an ammunition truck was hit and Smythe lead some of his boys with firefighting equipment. Just then two German planes swung low, dropping bombs and machine-gunning the Canadians. Smythe was knocked out by a fragment of explosive in his back." Smythe was sent back to Canada in September.
When he returned Smythe spoke out about his belief that the Canadian Military was using improperly trained troops, which lead to unnecessary casualties. Maj. Smythe released a statement that claimed that "the reinforcements received now are green, inexperience, and poorly trained." Maj. Smythe and the officers he spoke with also believed that "large numbers of unnecessary casualties result from this greenness, both to the rookies and to the other soldiers, who have the added task of trying to look after the newcomers as well as themselves." In response, the Canadian Government sent Defense Minister James L. Ralston to investigate these claims.
After the War Smythe returned to his role as GM and lead the Leafs to 6 Stanley Cups in 10 years between 1942 and 1951. It is fitting that the trophy which bears his name is given to the player most valuable to his team during the Stanley Cup playoffs, the ultimate battle of the NHL season. While Conn survived, many were not as fortunate.
It is important to take the time to remember their sacrifices and to appreciate the freedom for which they fought.

@Danny Gray
Thanks for a great read I have even more respect for the name and Trophy now. I also love the pictures included and those not included. I have wished we had more comments from females and their perspectives on the articles printed. I am glad to see Struds will be writing and look forward to his articles and Story's. Would love to see some one from the Women's National team or Women's pro Hockey write as well.
good stuff!!
November 11 2011, 11:57AM
Thank you for the article, I had read a bit about Smythe before, and obviously throughout my career had developed a passion for military history. Most Canadians are unaware how deep our military traditions and history run.
I do wish to comment on one issue, I have always been personally uncomfortable with people in general comparing sports to war/combat, but have learned to just bite my tongue on the issue as most will never understand nor can most of us explain the experience on any tangible level.
Personally I thank all who have supported the troops, whatever your political leanings, and as one of the "old boys" I wish to offer my own personal support for the next generation and my sincere thanks to the generations before my own for their sacrifice.

I loved this article because I love getting random facts on hockey and the Leafs specifically. Conn Smythe was the man is all I can say. In contrast, I read several articles on Harold Ballard the day day out of curiosity when his ring was stolen. He is hated for good reasons I learned. I love reading articles here and enjoy the different perspectives, the information and the humour. Female commentator.

Why Do Women Prefer Sleep Over Sex?
Nearly 80 percent of women would rather get a good night's sleep than have sex, the Better Sleep Council has reported.
Why is this? One reason may be that women do not see intimacy as valuable as sleep. Another reason may be that many of us are so sleep deprived that a good night's sleep sounds better than almost anything else. A 2007 study by this same group, found that 72 percent of the women they questioned reported trouble sleeping at least a couple of nights each week.
Most women don't have the problem of too much sleep, it's too little and the quality is poor. Having small children is a guarantee for sleep interruption. When there are babies in the house it's understood that a couple's sleep will be interrupted.
However, getting older toddlers and school age children to sleep needs to be a priority for couple time. Too many couples simply accept that the kids will sleep in the bed with them indefinitely since they refuse to go to sleep otherwise and will likely wake them repeatedly for any reason.
READ: Skin Care Products That Work While You Sleep
It's important to establish the bedroom as the parents' zone and not allow the kids to make your bedroom an extension of their own rooms. Furthermore, couples who don't have children will often allow interruptions from work, the phone, or pets to get in the way of uninterrupted sleep and time for intimacy.
First, keep your bedroom for you and your couplehood only. Secondly, for deeper sleep, some experts advise limiting before bed entertainment to upbeat and joyful things and avoiding dramas that may spark a worry pattern (women frequently cited worrying about kids, finance and family issues as a trigger for middle-of-the-night waking). According to researchers Michael H. Bonnet and Donna L. Arand, "There is strong evidence that sufficient shortening or disturbance of the sleep process compromises mood, performance and alertness and can result in injury or death. In this light, the most common-sense 'do no injury' medical advice would be to avoid sleep deprivation."
When there is bad sleep everyone suffers. But women may be on to something when they value good sleep even over sex. They may intuitively know they are at risk if they don't bank sleep. Recent research shows that women who report frequent sleepless nights have a greater risk for health problems than men. Researchers at Duke University Medical Center, led by Edward Suarez, PhD, an associate professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, found that women who reported unhealthy sleep are at an elevated risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and depression.
So how can we actually get better sleep? Besides keeping the room dark and cool, experts advise us to try and stick to a schedule in general as we go about our day. Go to sleep at or around the same time each night, but also do other tasks like showering and walking the dog at around the same time. The journal Sleep reports that this scheduled behavior allowed insomniacs to fall asleep faster.
READ: How to Clean Your Mattress Naturally
So cut off work and wind down. A new study in the International Journal of Psychophysiology points out that even mundane tasks like answering emails amp up the brain's focus, making it difficult to fall asleep so allow time to wind down.
Furthermore, avoid dehydration. A University of Pennsylvania study found people who get the full amount of sleep drink more water than those who get six hours or less. But everything in moderation—avoid drinking too much before bed and just be aware of staying hydrated throughout the day.
Additionally, listening to slow music helps you reach deeper levels of sleep so enlist your playlist to provide calming music. Address health concerns that may be getting in the way of both sleep and intimacy. Ask your doctor about problems that interfere with sleep. Things like frequent urination or restless leg syndrome may have simple solutions that your body will respond to and will make sleep easier and better.
And the same holds true for sex. Discuss any changes with a doctor before simply accepting that this is how life is. Better quality of sleep (and intimacy) is an attainable goal.

"The right foot fits perfectly. However the straps at the front of the left shoe seem to be narrower than those on the right shoe, but is still somewhat comfortable and will probably stretch with wear."

Works for work
"I was attracted to these because they have a different look. I say they run true to size in every way. I was concerned that these might be tight across the front, but they're just fine. There is just enough heel, but still comfortable all day. Got the tan first, then ordered the red since I liked them so much."

They were not asked any tough questions, such as whether architect Frank Gehry is actively working on the project.
Careful language on AY
CEO Chuck Ratner, in his prepared remarks, essentially repeated the message from yesterday's press release: "As you may have seen, we recently achieved another legal victory with the state appellate court upheld a prior State Supreme Court ruling related to public approvals and environmental review. We have one material lawsuit pending, and when we have cleared the legal hurdles, we are prepared to move forward with the first phase of development at Atlantic Yards."
He didn't predict a timeline.
Later, an investment analyst asked about the likelihood of Atlantic Yards, including potential alternatives or further revisions.
Joanne Minieri, president of subsidiary Forest City Ratner, responded, "As we've stated, once this litigation is resolved, this project is ready to go. We've worked diligently and actively on being prepared to proced with Atlantic Yards. We believe with respect to the arena there's an opportunity in today's market to finance it. We've done a lot of predevelopment work both on the site and in the soft cost area. On resolution of the litigation, we remain prepared to proceed."
There's also a lot of predevelopment work not done, since Forest City Ratner stopped working at the Vanderbilt Yard in December.
Long-term project
At various times during the call, Ratner alluded to the company's capacity to wait until the market improves. Citing the "development pipeline that we're carrying," including Atlantic Yards, Ratner called the projects "relatively modest obligations... that we have a choice to make or not make."
It sounded a lot like Forest City's statement last November that "We control the pace" of projects like Atlantic Yards.
Later, Ratner grouped Atlantic Yards, along with projects like Denver's Stapleton and Chicago's Central Station, as among "great long-term opportunities."
In other words, the promise to deliver affordable housing and open space, among other benefits at the Atlantic Yards site, seems very unlikely to be fulfilled by the promised decade--2016 after project approval, and 2018 according to FCR CEO Bruce Ratner's pledge last year.
A "Bridge" showing losses
The developer today released an EBDT (Earnings Before Depreciation and Taxes) Bridge, which shows that the Nets contribute a significant slice of the company's losses--and is a reminder that the Brooklyn arena is seen as reversing losses and raising the value of the team.
(Click to enlarge)
Later, Ratner alluded to the significant drop in the value of the company's stock, down some 90% in the past year. "We do understand that our securities have performed poorly," he said. "We're disappointed with that... and we remain, as you can hear, cautious but confident as we proceed."
More calls to come
While Forest City has historically held earnings conference calls twice a year, last year the company held an unusual third-quarter call, and in 2009, Ratner said, calls will be scheduled quarterly.

Cook Islands
IntroductionCook Islands, island group (2006 pop. 19,569), 90 sq mi (234 sq km), S Pacific, SE of Samoa; a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand. It consists of 15 small islands and is comprised of two main groups, the Southern (or Lower) Cook islands (Rarotonga, Mangaia, Atiu, Aitutaki, Mauke, Mitiaro, and Manuae and Te-Au-o-tu) and the Northern Cook islands (Nassau, Palmerston, Penrhyn, Manihiki, Rakahanga, Pukapuka, and Suwarrow). The islands were formerly called the Hervey Islands. Avarua, on Rarotonga, is the capital and administrative center of the group. The southern half of the state's waters, an area encompassing some 411,000 sq mi (1.065 million sq km), were declared a marine park in 2012. The Cook Islanders are Maoris, a Polynesian people, and are largely Christians. English is the official language and Maori is also spoken.

In 2013, PLAN and ProgressNow Nevada joined forces with the Legal Progress program at the Center for American Progress to bring much-needed attention to the importance of the federal courts and the challenges now common in the process to fill judicial vacancies. The project, Nevadans for Judicial Progress, joins groups in several other states in this initiative. ProgressNow Nevada and PLAN will manage and organize the public education, grassroots advocacy, and communications program to promote and build support in Nevada for the core values of promoting a more progressive judiciary.
For more than three decades conservative forces have systematically worked to push our judicial branch in a decidedly right wing and pro-corporate direction at the cost of civil liberties to everyday Americans. Considering the Supreme Court decides on only a small number of cases each year, it is astonishing to think of the setbacks in progressive gains made over the course of generations that could be caused by this imbalance and meddling in the judicial branch.
The Supreme Court 2012-2013 term is already packed with cases with the potential to further erode corporate accountability and limit everyday Americans' civil rights and access to justice. They will soon hand down decisions on challenges to the Defense of Marriage Act, California's Proposition 8, and the Voting Rights Act. The Court's decisions this term could have disastrous consequences for the ability of consumers, victims of discrimination, human rights plaintiffs, organized labor, environmental activists, and others to get a fair day in court.
To further impede and complicate the process, some members of the U.S. Senate have taken up tactics ranging from delay to outright obstructionism to deny the President's nominees an open and fair evaluation of their qualifications to serve on the bench. Some have even gone so far as to begin work on reducing the number of judges in the Federal Circuit as well as Federal District courts already struggling under the weight of their caseloads.
This must end; the Senate must carry out its duty to 'advice and consent' so that our crucial third branch of government can carry out its constitutional duties. Nothing short of our civil liberties and our system of checks and balances is at stake.

Added purposes such as pan sensing units, overheat detector, easy controls, relatively long power cable, and natural preservation are locations that you can keep an eye on Max Burton 6200.
Function of an induction cooktop
Everybody requires a range top. That's just a reality of life. Do you remember as a child being informed not to touch the hot stove eye? Naturally, you learned that by touching it, you would get burned.
One of the best-known benefits to induction cooktops is their capability to cool off immediately after a pot is removed from the range. That is the extraordinary highest that sets it apart from other range tops. (Nevertheless, it ought to be kept in mind that there are several other excellent qualities for the induction cooktops.).
In this column, we will offer you with the information you need to know before acquiring these highly smart cook tops. In fact, we will graze through many the very best induction cooktop reviews, guaranteeing that you have an idea of what to anticipate and how other individuals have responded to the product.
It's a fairly standard concept. Whereas standard cook tops use glowing or thermal heat conduction, induction cooktops use magnetic induction. Wow, exactly what a tongue tornado!
According to Bing, the induction cook top works when a magnetic flux is developed. This constantly magnetizes the pots and pans or pan. When it comes to the pot, well, it treats it like a transformer. Cool, eh?
Given that the pot is considered the transformer, whenever it is gotten rid of from the source of heat, or the cooktop eye, the heat rapidly dissipates. It's like magic!
Not only does the heat rapidly dissipate once the pot or pots and pans are gotten rid of however the cooktop also warms up considerably faster than the standard range top.
Remember that induction cooktops do not react and warm up any metal pot or pan. It only works for induction pots and pans. The induction cookware makers continually stamp on the box if it is "induction friendly" or "induction-capable". Usually, these pots and pans items are referred to as "magnetic cookware." Does not that give it an "area age" feel? We believe so.
You may be wondering exactly what could be the function of buying an induction cooktop.
For beginners, it's a much friendlier cooktop for the presence of small children. Given, the while an induction pot is on the cooktop, the eye will be hot, but you don't have to bother about the cooktop being hot when nothing is on it. Yes, you read that correctly.
The eye instantly shuts off when a pot is not sitting on it. Again, it goes back to the magnetism and transformer information. It just isn't going to operate if the transformer is not on top of it.
Since the majority of these cooktops are mobile and simple to move from place to location, they are useful for those that take pleasure in camping. If you have a camper that's geared up with electric outlets, it would be an item to think about trying.

Both of the Green River High basketball teams are off and running in the 2013-14 season. Last week the Lady Pirates played three games and won two of those games. They defeated Tabiona at home on Saturday night 39-32; lost to Kanab 56-41 the night before and on Wednesday they defeated San Juan 46-42. The boys' team played just a single game last week but they played it well as they defeated an outmatched Escalante team 103-49.
Against Escalante, Green River jumped all over their opponent in the first quarter as they went up 22-8 in that period. Green River never slowed down in the game as they won the second period 28-10 to be up at the half 50-18, won the third quarter 25-12 to now lead 75-30 and then won the final quarter 28-19 as the bench saw lots of action.
TJ Hughes led the way for the Pirates as he scored 19 points, had 10 assists, 6 steals and 6 rebounds as he was one of five Pirates to finish the game in double figure scoring.
Nick Corrigan scored 17 points and had 4 steals and 4 rebounds. Chance Pfander, Jon Mendez and Spencer Marshall each scored 15 points in the victory. Mendez added 11 rebounds while Marshall pulled down 9 rebounds. Chance also had 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 rebounds. Also scoring in the game were Colton Mecham with 7 points, Nathan Cox with 6 points, Jovani Flores with 5 points and Tyrell Shumway with 4 points.
The boys will be playing this Friday and Saturday in Richfield at the Sevier Valley Center against Milford and Wayne. Last Saturday when Green River hosted Tabiona, the Lady Pirates built a two-point first quarter lead into the seven-point victory as they stayed ahead of the visiting team. Junior Kira Engleman and senior Taylor Johnson powered the win as each scored 15 points in the game. Taylor also had 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals while Kira had 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals.
Sydney Thayn, also a senior, scored 7 points and added 8 rebounds and 4 steals. Presley Lovato scored 2 points and Robin Nelson added a single point.
The night before against Kanab, the Lady Cowboys went up 12-5 in the first quarter, 25-18 at the half and 48-31 after three periods in claiming the win. Engleman scored 12 points in the loss and Johnson had 11 points. Savannah Williams, a freshman, also scored 12 points in the game. Also scoring were Lovato, Nelson and Thayn with 2 points each.
In the win against San Juan, Green River used a big final period to claim the win. The Lady Pirates were down 38-31 entering the final quarter but they outscored the Lady Broncos 15-4 to grab the win over the 2-A school.
Engleman, Thayn and Johnson each scored 12 points in the game to power the team to the victory. Nelson scored 3 points, Lovato scored 1 point and Williams and Cassidee Moore and Cassidy Bastian each scored 2 points in the game.
The Lady Pirates host Grand this Wednesday and then travel to Tabiona the following day as they continue preseason play.
