We, as citizens, have a responsibility for our public lands. If we use these public lands, we must do so wisely.
We hear more and more cases of abuse to our BLM and forest lands. Are stiffer fines the answer? I think a better answer might lie in having those who offend take part in the restoration for the damages they inflicted and also extra work and restoration on areas they haven't affected personally. People who are guilty of off-trail travel could be sentenced to so many hours of service comparable to the extend of their damage.
This type of involvement happened recently when a man who had traveled off trail due in part to mechanical difficulties with his vehicle, joined with a rehabilitation effort voluntarily. He devoted a day to helping repair the damage he had done. I'm sure this was a difficult thing for him to join in with OHV groups who frown on off-trail travel. He may have feared a lynching, but I believe he was well received and the majority of those helping with the restoration didn't know he was also the culprit as they were from out of the area.
But this was a heroic effort on his part I think. The man was well received and his help appreciated. His willingness to put himself in that situation without being court ordered to do so was admirable.
A recent story in the Emery County Progress reported about was called Too Swell to Trash. It dealt with litter on the Swell and an apparent lack of concern by users to keep the Swell clean. Trash is strewn for miles and miles and thrown from vehicle windows. The trash on OHV trails is minimal, showing the users commitment to keep these off road trails clean. If these offenders who throw trash from windows could be found, then get them out there picking up garbage as part of their sentence.
We need to start with our children in keeping this type of trashing from happening to start with. Not throwing things out of vehicle windows is the key.
If you have to get rid of your trash before you go home, then put it in a dumpster somewhere.
I used to be the leader for some cub scouts and one service project we did quite regularly was to pick up garbage along the streets in Huntington. We spent a lot of time trying to improve our community. One thing we talked about a lot as we did this was keeping things clean and not trashing our environment. I would like to think any of these scouts would think twice about throwing anything out a window, knowing first hand the time it takes to do such cleanup work.
I am disturbed most of the time, (and I'm not a clean freak) by the trash left behind after ball games and activities.
My sons used to play football on Saturday mornings at Emery High and after a Friday night Emery game the bleachers and grounds would just be a mess that next morning. I thought this was really bad behavior.
As always we can be part of the problem or part of the solution. When it comes to being better stewards of our public lands and towns where we live we should be better examples to young people and never trash our environment. I hope we're part of the solution.
One other thought, I've discovered that stop signs lead to littering. Recently there has been a barrage of new stop signs in Huntington. One on our corner has brought an increased amount of trash thrown from windows, into my yard, while people slow down, (just barely) at these signs. But, that's another story.

Awesome Shoes, BUT
"I bought this first pair and everything was perfect. Your feet don't slide forward, actually extremely comfortable and stylish. Then after about 2 weeks, I noticed the peeling of the thin rubber part from the shoe. I superglued it thinking it should be okay. It was fine.Since I loved these so much, I bought them in black. They arrived and I didn't try them on as I had purchased the same size. I took them on a business trip only to find they fit at least a 1/2 size too small - length wise and almost fitting like a narrow shoe. Completely disappointed and very painful to wear all day. I didn't return them to the store since I had worn them. If I can provide any warning . . . seems like a quality control issue on both pairs I purchased. Buy with caution. I am a solid 8.5M."

"Love this pump. It is my first pair ever because pumps are usually painful for me and no matter the size my heel slips off. So the fact that this was an ankle strap heel and is pretty comfortable is awesome. I gave it 4 stars because i did buy those ball of the feet cushions to get it absolutely perfectly comfortable. I came back on the website to see if there are more colors...."

This season's edition of Emery High boys basketball looks to be good if the first game of the season is any indicator. This Spartan team started well, played well in the middle and finished well in this impressive start to the 2009-10 basketball season. Emery defeated American Leadership Academy 91-52 last Tuesday night in Castle Dale.
Derek Tuttle scored the first points of the season on a pair of free throws a minute into the game and finished the quarter with seven points to lead Emery to a 22-11 first quarter lead. All five starters scored in this first quarter as unselfish play seemed to be the order of the day.
Senior point guard Nevin Jensen, after a quiet first quarter, exploded in the second period with 12 points on his way to a game leading 23 points. Emery scored 16 of the first 20 points in the period as the Spartans led 38-15 with 3:14 left to play in the first half. Jensen in the first half also had four rebounds and three assists in sparking his team.
After halftime, it appeared that Emery wanted to get the ball inside and that is exactly what they did as Tuttle and Tanner Procarione scored the first 10 points of the period on short shots as the team did a good job feeding those two the ball and Tanner and Derek did a good job of finishing off the play.
Emery won the third quarter 23-19 as the intensity was down just a little on defense, as one might expect it to be when one has a big lead, and the two teams tied in the final period 20-20 as Emery's reserves saw a lot of playing time.
Nevin Jensen finished the night with 23 points, 12 assists and four rebounds. Tanner Procarione finished the night with 18 points, seven rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot. Derek Tuttle scored 13 points, had five rebounds and an assist and a steal. Jake Fortner, starting at off-guard, scored nine points and had three assists. The last starter for the Spartans was senior Mark Guymon. Mark finished with eight points, six rebounds, two assists and had a steal.
Emery's bench played well in the game. Junior Ty Benson scored 11 points in the game to be the leading scorer for the reserves. TJ Furner had a great night filling in along the front line. TJ only scored four points but he pulled down 10 rebounds, had a steal and two blocked shots. Quinn Montgomery scored three points and Kash Jewkes scored two points to close out the bench scoring for the night.

Category name i.e.BUILD YOUR OWN MEDIA CENTRE
Having undergone a name change from Emagen to Enspire, the AVR-200 was one of the first products under the new moniker from this computer manufacturer. With the imminent arrival of Intel's ViiV, media center PCs are set to become the revolution that was promised five years ago. And its entry level units such as the AVR-200 which will help make this upheaval possible.
The unit is based on a hi-fi form factor, and therefore fits well into most hi-fi systems. The fascia is quite minimal, with a blacked out panel which hides the IR receiver, a bright blue power button, and a discrete flap concealing the DVD drive and front connections.
Considering the price, and the fact the system contains dual HD tuners, the other internals are fairly decent with a GeForce 6200, 16x DVD, 512MB RAM and 200GB drive. Onboard sound only, as well.
The only missed opportunity here is the use of a cheaper Antec power supply and stock cooling fan for the AMD processor. This means that once the heat ramps up, so does the noise. We got noise levels of 60db from the very front of the unit at full bore, which is very loud for a home theatre component.
Performance was otherwise excellent, and having dual tuners with the Ice program guide is something every PVR should have. This machine will also do games and web surfing well.
The good thing about buying a PVR from a computer vendor is that you can choose the specifications you want, and though you will pay extra for quieter components, in this case, the extra 100 bucks for Zalman cooling would be well worth it. So, that said, if you're looking for a low-cost entry into the world of Media Center, the AVR-200 is a good choice.
Enspire AVR-200 | $1699 | For: Attractive; good value for money; dual tuners.Against: Noisy; no display.Verdict: A slimline PVR/media centre that should find itself at home with many budding home theatre aficionados.

Comments: Nice light weight shoe for training and racing. I'm a high level track MD runner and I use these for road races and faster training. Had the original version and I find these a lot more comfortable, especially on the old version the tongue would slip to the side, this dosen't happen in this new model. Hopefully fast times to follow. I did find the old model to have poor grip when used on the track in the wet, but they were slightly worn by then. Looking for a 10km road PB in these shoes.

Congratulations on being selected one of the best musicians in the state of Utah! This was the message that Melanie Farr received last May, 2001, nearly a year before the Salt Lake 2002 Winter Olympics were to begin. Two-hundred and ninety Utah student musicians from all parts of the state made their way to the University of Utah that May. Their objective was to audition for a few select positions to form the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Spirit Band. Most auditioning were college students, a few were from high schools. That day was an anxious one for them, although Melanie felt almost comfortable. Her feelings paid off when the audition results were posted and she was one of the six piccolo finalists. All together 112 students playing wind instruments and 20 students playing percussion instruments brought the total band members to 132.
Their first rehearsal was five hours long and began shortly after the auditions on May 15. Rehearsals continued every two weeks at the University of Utah all summer and fall until January, most lasting eight hours each. The rehearsals increased to two times a week in January. The schedule was very demanding as most of the students continued their schooling the whole time. Band members came from as far away as Cedar City, Ephraim and Logan. They were very dedicated to spend the amount of time that was required to perform for such an important, once in a lifetime event. Many people spent many hours for the Winter Olympics and the band members were at the top of the list in dedication.
The Olympic Spirit Band was such an awesome sounding band. The Spirit Band performed in both Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the Winter Olympics, plus Opening Ceremonies for the Paralympics. NBC didn't get the band in their cameras very often, but if you did see the band, they were playing long silver herald trumpets with banners hanging off them. They looked fantastic in their combination of white, turquoise, and silver outfits and white cowboy style hats and duster coats. As Tim, Mark, and I went to the pre-dress rehearsal, it was awesome to see the Begay family and Melanie performing in the same Olympic ceremony. We are all so proud of their representation of Emery County.
The Spirit Band's debut was at the Torch Arrival ceremony at Washington Square in Salt Lake City on the night before Opening Ceremonies. We actually got to see the band up close on all of Salt Lake's local TV stations. On the first day of the Olympics, the band spent most of the day in Park City entertaining the crowds awaiting the first events. It was so cold that many of the instruments, including Melanie's piccolo, formed tubes of ice inside them.
There were smaller 15 and 30 piece "showbands" that performed at all the venues, all being part of the large Olympic Band. Some of you may have seen Melanie if you were by the Delta Center at around 5 p.m. Each night the entire band performed in the intersection by the Medals Plaza. They gave a 40 minute concert nightly throughout the Olympics. They were such an impressive group. One of the pieces they played was specifically arranged for them by the famous composer, John Williams, plus the beautiful and moving "America the Beautiful" was arranged just for this Olympic Band.
Melanie met many important people. She was interviewed and filmed by a few international and out-of-state news reporters and posed for many pictures. The Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Spirit Band was wonderful. Melanie said it was very tiring but an awesome experience. The students will never forget the experience they had in "being" in the Olympics.

The Huntington City Council had an abbreviated meeting in December as they prepared for the holidays. The city staff Christmas party followed the council meeting at the town hall.
Two items on the agenda were the approval of issuing business licenses to new businesses in town. The first was Kurt's Classic Barber Shop located on 125 North Main Street, the prior location of Diamond's Barber Shop. The second was Hilary's Tai Yi Healing, located in a home on 400 North.
Bennett Gunderson has been taking the steps to have his property located at 155 East 500 South annexed into the city and it looks like the steps have finally been completed and the council voted to proceed with the annexation.
The council voted to approve the proposed meeting schedule of the city council and also of the planning and zoning commission for calendar year 2011.
The city, last month, made the decision to locate a new fire station on Canyon Road here in town. The council, at the request of a couple of citizens, decided to revisit the issue. There have been two other property owners that have approached the city about using their property besides the three looked at last month.
Members of the county EMS also wanted to approach the city again to re-utter their opinion of which piece of property would make them the happiest. They listed pros and cons for all the property as they see it. They believe there is more traffic on Canyon Road rather than on Main Street. They also believe that locating the new station in the south of the city would cause a delay in response time even though they often wait for the arrival of EMTs from the Cleveland-Elmo area. The council listened intently, asked questions of the presenters and then tabled the discussion until next month.
The council encouraged the zoning administrator to continue enforcing city ordinances so that clean up in the city will continue improving.
The administrator reported that a couple of people are still trying to fight the system and do things their way, the council instructed the administrator to do all that necessary to bring the properties into compliance.

|In response to Re: galvanized pipes: water softner vs. magnets
: : My experience using magnets from magnetizer.com versus a regular soft water conditioner is no contest. I cut the water softner off and installed the two magnets from magnetizer and followed the directions such as flushing out the cold and hotwater pipes, but the magnets did NOT work at all. The water got harder and harder until it was completely hard. The magnets DO NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!! I am trying to find the e-mail address of magnetizer.com so I can let them know they have a useless product. After 3 months (I thought that was long enough to try the magnets) I put my water softner back in service and I have soft water again. Like the old saying, "if it sounds too good to be true, it is ". Don't buy the magnets and waste your time.

Morningstar's Samuel Lee has shown how gold-mining stocks — despite the impression to the contrary – have tracked the price of gold reasonably well for years. That's been true even as the shares slumped, and gold rose steadily for more than a decade.
How is that possible? It's true if you look at the total value of gold-mining companies. This simply means multiplying stock prices times shares outstanding, instead of the more commonly cited stock prices by themselves.
As gold's price rose ever higher, miners diluted their shareholders. Compare miners' aggregate market capitalization (the green line) to gold's price (light blue) see how it played out. The dark blue line is price:
You can see that the two lines track reasonably well. One difference: The miners are more volatile. It's notable that this sector's value kept up with gold even as prominent firms binged on new mines and other capital-spending projects that today look like risky empire-building.
This week Lee published another look at the subject – noting a few positives. Not only are gold miners' dividends growing at a decent pace, but management teams are promising to correct the overspending of the past, Lee writes. In the latter vein, we noted not too long ago the emergence at Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX) and Goldcorp Inc. (GG) of a metric called "all-in sustaining costs," an effort to give a clearer picture of the true (often high) cost of mining gold.
Sounds positive, right?
Not entirely. Lee has a separate warning on the sector:

Senior Bear River pitcher Josi Summers is at the end of her high school career. That is a good thing for 3-A softball. That is a good thing for the other teams in 3-A even if it is not for the Bears. Summers is a pitcher for Bear River, the team that has won the last two state championships in softball and is out looking for number three. Summers was the starting pitcher for those two teams and was selected the 3-A MVP each season with number three coming any day now.
Summers and her Bear teammates hosted Emery in the first round of the 3-A state tournament this past weekend and Summers made short work of the visiting Spartans. Summers struck out 13 of the 17 batters she faced in the game. Two Spartans walked and two Spartans grounded out. Emery committed five errors in the game while giving up 12 hits and 13 runs.
Emery, after the loss to the number one ranked team in the state, rebounded with a convincing 16-2 victory over the Carbon Dinos to stay alive in the playoffs. After Carbon had lost to Cedar City in a hard fought ballgame that Carbon had actually led most of the way, the Dinos then had to face their Castle Country neighbors for the second time in three days.
Emery wanted to jump out on the Dinos right off the bat and that is exactly what they accomplished. Makiah Sherman opened the game for the visiting Spartans with a walk. Markette Tanner then singled to left field. After Gabby Guymon walked to load the bases, Michelle Oliver doubled to center field to score two runs. After Shelby Mason fouled out, Whitney Roper got on base due to an error by the catcher. Danavin Reed became the second out with a pop-up to the first baseman. Reed later became the third out of the inning as the next eight batters all got on base.
Abbie Kay singled, Jo Jennings singled, Sherman singled, Tanner walked, Guymon doubled to left center field, Mason tripled to right field and Roper doubled to right field. Emery scored 12 runs in the inning while picking up eight base hits.
After giving up a single run to Carbon in the bottom of the inning, Emery would score three more times in the top of the second inning. Kay led off the inning with another single followed by Jennings getting another single. Sherman followed with a single, Guymon had a single and Mason hit a double as the first three base runners for Emery all scored.
Emery would score once more in the top of the fifth inning. Jennings would score for the third time in the game after she drew a walk and scored on a Sherman double.
Emery will now play Thursday at the Valley Complex in Taylorsville at 6 p.m. against the loser of the Grantsville-Canyon View game.
In action earlier in the week, Emery went to Richfield and closed out the region season with a 5-3 victory over the Wildcats. Whitney Roper picked up the win as she allowed six hits over seven innings while striking out 12 batters. Emery scored three runs in the third inning, another in the fourth inning and the final in the fifth inning.
In the third inning, Tanner walked, Oliver walked, Guymon doubled, Reed singled and Mason walked and the first three batters all scored. In the fourth inning, Kay singled and would score on a single by Guymon. Tanner singled in between the two batters. In the fifth inning, Reed, Jaden Huntington, Roper and Tanner all singled and Reed scored.
After the game and after returning to Emery High, three of the players were involved in a one-car accident as the driver swerved to avoid a dog in the road. Two players, Huntington and Tealan Miller were transported to the hospital where both were released later that night. Although neither had broken bones, both were bruised and sore with Huntington being the worst off. Jaden had just started her first varsity game for Emery and went three for four at the plate. Gabby Guymon was the third Spartan involved and she was OK.
Emery also played Carbon High on Thursday last week in the last scheduled game of the season. Emery won that game 8-7 with Jeridi Price on the mound. Emery scored three times in the second inning, once in the third inning, once in the fifth inning, twice in the sixth inning and once in the seventh inning.
Emery had 15 hits. Sherman hit a homerun in the second inning. McKenzie Grange hit a homerun in the sixth inning. Tanner had two doubles in the game and Mason and Roper each had one double.

The 10 Don'ts Of Dining
Sugarvine accepts absolutely no responsibility for the views expressed in The Rant.If you feel the need to respond to something you've read here, email us at email@example.com if you would like to contribute a rant yourself, email it to us at the same address.You should include a pen name and we reserve the right to edit your diatribe.
It has to be your biggest nightmare. You're settling down to a romantic meal for two, in an exclusive, high-class restaurant, when along he comes (it's always a he). Etiquette? - Never heard of it. So for his benefit, and any other peasants out there, here's 10 things you shouldn't be doing when you're eating out.
1. Do NOT smoke while dining Yes it's a free country but chain smoking from the beginning to the end of a meal -- ensuring a nice thick film of smoke drifts over your fellow diners - just shows your lack of class. Do it with a cigar and you're even more of a tosser.
2. The napkin stays on your knees Unless you are a fat mafia don, you've got no business shoving your napkin under your chin. It stays on your knees and from time to time you can delicately blot your lips. Blow your nose in it and you deserve a painful death.
3. Embarrassing moments are embarrassing Only babies and the Japanese can get away with smiling after they've burped. If your rich repaste is prompting an unavoidable internal response, try and excuse yourself from the table. Failing that, look suitably mortified.
4. Fingers are not utensils Fingers are for use in extremis and in Macdonalds. Otherwise, use the cutlery that the restaurant was thoughtful enough to provide. You can relax the rules for spare ribs or crab but licking each finger afterwards is not the way to clean yourself up.
5. Keep your mouth shut Why let food get in the way of the art of conversation when you can share the contents of your mouth with your partner and innocent onlookers? Save your witty repartee and pearls of wisdom until you've swallowed your food.
6. Leave the slang at home You might think it's funny ordering a 'Ring Stinger' (curry - any type) or a 'Pebble Dasher' (anything accompanied by lentils or beans) but nobody else does. And unless you speak the language, remember that ordering in a foreign accent never was and never will be funny.
7. Don't pick your teeth So, the peppered steak was a little chewy? Remember that a fork really can get to those hard to reach places. Failing that, there are numerous sharp objects on the table and you do have a wallet full of credit cards to help lever that little devil out of your gums. Not.
8. The waiter is not a slave Never, never snap your fingers and never, never call the waiter, 'Garcon'. You are paying to have your food cooked by somebody else, not paying to terrorize and humiliate the person who brings it to you.
9. Work on a 'need-to-know' basis Ablutions are a natural function of the human body and when you've got to go, you've got to go. But does the whole table really need to know? "Right, I'm off to make some room for me afters. Might be some time." Nice.
10. Set your volume control Only Americans are biologically incapable of lowering their voices. The rest of us are perfectly well equipped to restrict the conversation to the immediate vicinity. So do it!
In response to Dee Dee Johnson's Rant 'The 10 Don'ts of Dining', I would like to add an eleventh.
11. Keep your racist beliefs to yourself. Americans are not 'biologically incapable of lowering their voices'. I'm not sure how she has formed this belief -- I don't really care about the origin of racist stereotypes. I've lived in America for 20 years and know for a fact that on the whole Americans are no louder than any other nationality. The thing I find most offensive about this comment is the assumption that because the racist slur was made about a country of mostly white people it's ok. Had the racist comment been about Blacks or Asians, would you have found that an acceptable thing to post on your website?
12: AF, don't you think it's possible that D. Johnson was just being humorous, and you are over-reacting a little by accusing her of racist slurs? I suppose your outraged response just goes to show that regardless of race or nationality, anyone can be a pompous moron. Incidentally, an (American) comedian once said "America is like a contestant in beauty pageant. It's gorgeous until it opens it's mouth".
I am American and found both DD's article and the response to AF very amusing. However I think you'll find my reasons for this go beyond the Americans-are-always-loud sentiment so un-elegantly expressed in DD's article. I've lived in this country for 5 years and have been subject to all kinds of off-handed comments and slurs, and believe me, no one likes an American joke better than I do, but why not publish something actually funny on your website about Americans and our tendencies rather than a comment so banal and witless as "Only Americans are biologically incapable of lowering their voices", which adds absolutely nothing to DD's "rant" rather than offend a few of your less tolerant readers. I think it's funny that DD finds this statement humourous. I'd think being British, you'd have a bit more comedy amongst you.
In response to the article by Dee Dee Johnson on the 10 Don'ts of Dining and the ensuing debate about Americans: I've been in the restaurant business for some twenty years now, and have found Americans to be either 1) The most gracious, polite, well mannered and most pleasant of all customers, or 2) The rudest, grossest, self-regarding, greedy and most unpleasant of all customers - who are loud, demanding and deeply insensitive to their fellow diners and waiting staff, who they habitually demean. I don't know if it's a geographical trait -- whether New Yorkers, for instance, form the second group, or whether it's a socio-economic thing. By the same token, I bet continental Europeans might say the same of the English -- on the one hand you have the gross football-shirt wearing loud-mouthed drunken yob, on the other, the polite, well-mannered, pleasant cultural tourist who is extremely embarrassed by the former. These are of course stereotypes, but ones that most would recognise, especially if they work in the hospitality business.
I am intrigued to know who this DD is and what exactly gives this writer the authority and experience to set down the rules of public eating. The eating habits and manners of our nation is varied and this is a result of different upbringing and cultures. There are some habits which are fairly antisocial in most places let alone at dining venues, but do we really need DD to tell us these things just in case we didn't realise. That is not to say I don't agree, smoking (esp. cigars) while at a restaurant is a particularly selfish act. but this will soon be against the law so that one can be scrapped. I disagree with the rules with regard what you are allowed to discuss at a restaurant and at what volume. when you decide to go out to eat you are choosing to eat in a public place with other people, that is one of the main factors with public eating. If you want somewhere quiet to eat..eat at home. Eating with fingers may be considered impolite by some people but it depends what you are eating but remember this practise is quite acceptable in other cultures. In conclusion, I can see the article was written to have a rant in response to some bad dining experiences but I find it hard to swallow this piece of literature in the comical flavour it was intended when it is in the shape of a list of things I am not allowed to do when I am in the position to eat out. keep your rules for yourself DD.

Cute, but...
"These shoes are adorable. I've worn them twice and received tons of compliments. The height is just a bit taller than what I usually like, but a slight hidden platform helps with that.While these are great-looking (I bought the brown, BTW) they are not super high quality. I am biding my wears because I know they aren't going to last for a very long time. Pity, because they look awesome."

Nothing special-looking, mediocre quality
"I ordered the cream and found the color a bit duller-looking in person. More importantly though, the shoes didn't seem particularly comfortable. As another reviewer mentioned, they are very very stiff and hard, and there is no padding whatsoever. Just thinking about my feet enveloped all day in hard unyielding leather gave me pain, so I had to return these."

Akron (-enˈækrənpron), is the fifth largest city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Summit County. It is located in the Great Lakes region approximately 39 mi (62.8 km) south of Lake Erie along the Little Cuyahoga River. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 199,110. The Akron Metropolitan Statistical Area covers Summit and Portage counties, and in 2010 had a population of 703,200. Akron is also part of the larger Cleveland-Akron-Elyria Combined Statistical Area, which in 2010 had a population of 2,780,440.
Co-founded by Paul Williams and surveyor of the Connecticut Western Reserve General Simon Perkins, Akron was settled in 1825 as a strategic point at the summit of the developing Ohio and Erie Canal. Williams arrived in the area during 1811 and suggested the settlement to Perkins who had been in Ohio since 1807. Due to Eliakim Crosby founding "North Akron"(Cascade) in 1833, "South" was added to Akron's name until they unified in 1836 becoming incorporated later that year. In 1840 Summit County formed from portions of Portage, Medina, and Stark counties. Akron replaced Cuyahoga Falls as its county seat a year later and opened a canal connecting to Beaver, Pennsylvania helping to birth the stoneware, sewer pipe, fishing tackle, and farming equipment industries. In 1844 Abolitionist John Brown moved into the John Brown House across the street from business partner Colonel Simon Perkins whom lived in the Perkins Stone Mansion. Numerous Congregational, Baptist, and Presbyterian churches erected between the 1870s and World War I were built using the Akron Plan.
During the 1910-1920 decade Akron was the fastest growing city in the country and experienced a 201.8% population increase becoming a boom town. World-renowned industries including the cereal, lamp, toy & marble, and tire & rubber were flourishing in the city at the time. It became "The Rubber Capital of the World" owing to its location along canals, railroads, and interstate. Having landmarks such as the All-America Bridge, Akron is one of the nation's pioneer cities producing the first championship teams for the American Professional Football Association (National Football League) and the National Basketball League (National Basketball Association). The University of Akron which has both the Goodyear Polymer Center and the National Polymer Innovation Center on campus, is the center of the Polymer Valley which is a leader in polymer research and production. In 2001 for its contributions to the Information Age Newsweek named Akron 5th on the list of ten high tech havens. It was also granted awards by World's most livable cities, the National Civic League, and the National Arbor Day Foundation. Akron is also host to the All-American Soapbox Derby, the National Hamburger Festival, Founders Day(Alcoholics Anonymous), Road Runner Akron Marathon, and will be the venue for some events of the 2014 Gay Games.
Residents of Akron are referred to as "Akronites". Nicknames for the city include "The Rubber City" and "City of Invention". At one time home to all four major tire makers (Goodrich, Goodyear, Firestone, General Tire), it also gained the nickname "Tire City".
