The only person in control of whether David Wright retires is David Wright. The fact is, he has a guaranteed contract for the next four years and he is going no place unless he or his doctors say so.
That said, he has made it quite clear during the last two decades that he respects us -- the fans -- and has the utmost love and appreciation for the Mets organization, their ownership, front office and his teammates, and he will never put his ego in front of what's best for the overall group.
The thing is, whether he returns to being an All-Star, everyday third baseman or he transitions to being a bench player or bounces between third and first base, David knows that he's a leader and he believes he can help the Mets on the field.
Unfortunately, we haven't had a chance to see him consistently do any of the above during the last two seasons, which is why he and everyone around him is growing frustrated -- all while he gets older and older and continues to be paid...
RHP Zack Wheeler will make his Grapefruit League debut on March 10 when the Mets visit the Braves, the team announced Wednesday.
Wheeler threw his first live batting practice Wednesday morning, and a scout watching said he looked "really good," although the batters were mostly just tracking the ball, according to Kristie Ackert of the NY Daily News.
The Mets will begin using their expected regular starting pitchers in Spring Training games Thursday.

Mets 1B Lucas Duda said he felt good after swinging a bat Wednesday in St. Lucie, he told NJ.com's Matt Ehalt.
Duda, who was cleared by doctors earlier in the day, told reporters that he expects to make his Spring Training debut in the next few days. He took grounders Monday, but missed all three workouts this past weekend and after getting cortisone shots Friday in each hip.
"We'll take a few days now, instead of taking two weeks down the road," Duda explained, according to NJ.com. "We're just being cautious. In a couple days, I should be ready to go."

Conlon, 23, who was born in Northern Ireland and attended the University of San Diego, pitched two innings Monday, giving up a hit and one walk, including a single to Astros 2B Jose Altuve.
"It was awesome, and a pretty surreal experience," Conlon said after Monday's game.
In January, Mets GM Sandy Alderson told Baseball America that Conlon is being considered, among other left-handed minor-league pitchers, for a role in this year's big-league bullpen.

RHP Jeurys Familia hit 97 mph on the radar gun and gave up one run and three hits in one inning in his Grapefruit League debut during Monday's 5-2 loss to the Astros at First Data Field.
"I thought that was a pretty good first day," manager Terry Collins said after the game. "I thought he threw the ball well."
Familia said after the game that he felt good and is ready to pitch for the Dominican Republic during the World Baseball Classic (WBC), which begins in March.
The investigation into Familia's domestic violence incident from last October is still ongoing, though reports indicate MLB will make a final decision regarding a potential suspension between the end of the WBC and Opening Day.
The Mets lost to the Astros, 5-2, on Monday afternoon in Port St. Lucie.
Mets OF Michael Conforto hit his second home run of the spring on Sunday, giving him five hits -- two against lefties -- in seven spring at-bats.
"I feel good," Conforto said after the game. "The work that we've been putting in, the extra swings and stuff … it's definitely paying off. I've just got to stick to the routine and hopefully keep doing what I'm doing."

Mets second 2B Neil Walker has been pain free this spring training after he undergoing season-ending back surgery last September, he told MLB.com's Anthony DiComo this past weekend in St. Lucie.
Walker, 31, said he is feeling good after making his first appearance in a game on Sunday, going 0-for-2 and playing five innings at second base during a 5-2 win over the Tigers at Tradition Field.
"I can tell as soon as I wake up in the morning that anything that I dealt with basically for four years is completely gone," Walker said. "Today was a really good day. There was no apprehension on my part. To take some full swings, to get those out of the way, those are the last kind of hurdles that make me fully feel confident in what I'm doing."
Before undergoing surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back, Walker hit .282 with 23 home runs and 55 RBI in his first season with the Mets. He signed a one-year, $17.2 million qualifying offer to remain a Met in the offseason.
New York Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki is day-to-day with a bruised left knee, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo.
Plawecki bruised his knee in Saturday's spring training game against the Washington Nationals. X-rays came back negative.
He wore a compression wrap on the knee on Sunday, according to DiComo, however he said he felt better from the day before.
Plawecki, 26, hit .197 with one home run and 11 RBIs in 48 games with the Mets last season. He is expected to start the season with Triple-A Las Vegas, where he hit .300 with eight home runs and 40 RBIs in 55 games in 2016.

Prospect Dominic Smith, who came in late during Saturday's game and drew two walks, will get the start at first base Sunday.
Mets third baseman David Wright played in his first Grapefruit League game on Saturday, going 0-for-2 as the DH in New York's 8-6 loss.
It was Wright's first game action since May 27, 2016, after which he had neck surgery and missed the rest of the season.
Despite not recording a hit on the day, Wright felt the game was a positive.
Maggie Wiggin, MetsBlog.com:
With the roster largely set, the Mets have begun looking at lineup construction to maximize the offense from a team that underperformed for much of last season. As usual for this team, one of the spots still pending a long-term answer is leadoff.
When Jose Reyes is starting, it's largely a given that he will bat leadoff, assuming his bounceback 2016 numbers continue to hold steady. With major question marks surrounding David Wright's health, this may very well resolve the leadoff issue for the bulk of the season.
The vast majority of Reyes's career plate appearances have come out of the leadoff spot and despite no longer displaying the stolen base prowess that secured him that spot in his youth (nor the on base percentage that tends to define the classic leadoff hitter nowadays), his reputation and general offensive competence will certainly place him there for the foreseeable future...

Mets Triple-A pitching coach Frank Viola wants to be on a big-league staff, despite playing a major role in the development of Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Steven Matz and Zack Wheeler.
"After being in Vegas for four years, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't love to have an opportunity to make a difference in the big leagues," Viola recently told the NY Post. "If it happens, it happens.
The Mets open their 2017 Grapefruit League schedule today at 1:05 p.m. ET against the Red Sox at JetBlue Field in Fort Myers, Fla.
The game will not be on SNY, but can be heard on radio at 710 AM WOR in New York.
Juan Lagares, Michael Conforto, Wilmer Flores, Amed Rosario, and Travis d'Arnaud will headline the trip, while Yoenis Cespedes, David Wright, Jose Reyes and the rest of the roster remain back in St. Lucie to work out in camp.
Seth Lugo will start for the Mets, after which RHP prospect Marcos Molina is expected to pitch.
Jose Reyes, spending his first Spring Training back with the Mets since signing a minor league deal last summer, discussed his evolving relationship with David Wright during an appearance on Hot Stove on Thursday night.
"I've known him since 2001," Reyes said. "We're like brothers. We get along very good. ...We just enjoy the game and enjoy the fact that we're here and enjoy playing together one more time."
Reyes described coming back to Port St. Lucie like going home to the Dominican Republic. "This is home for me," he said.
On shortstop prospect Amed Rosario, Reyes said -- as someone who's been in the same position -- he's given Rosario advice on how to handle the expectations...
Mets manager Terry Collins is excited for the upcoming season, although he does face some unique challenges, he told Mets Hot Stove on Thursday night.
Entering his sixth season as the Mets' skipper, Collins is amazed that he's just 43 games shy of becoming the longest-tenured manager in club history. Collins called New York a "tremendous place to manage" and added that being in baseball, "you want to manage on the biggest stage, and that's where I'm at."
Collins also discussed the difficulty of getting everyone enough playing time, saying that the players "have to buy into it. We're going to be very, very good and very fun to watch. But we've got to keep our good players healthy."
Mets OF Curtis Granderson doesn't have much of a preference where he hits in the lineup and believes that being aggressive within the strike zone is a key to his success, he told Mets Hot Stove on Thursday night.
The 34-year-old hit leadoff for a majority of the first half last season until Jose Reyes joined the Mets in early July. Granderson said that he doesn't really care where he bats and that "wherever TC puts me, I'll find a way to make myself comfortable one way or the other because the first at-bat is really the only at-bat where you're in that first position."
He also discussed the difference in his approach between 2015 and 2016, saying that "the big thing is being aggressive. I don't think the approach last year, affected, one way or the other, the walks or the power numbers." He added that he wants to "be aggressive in the zone" and that is "the philosophy here with the Mets."
Mets RHP Matt Harvey looks forward to regaining the form he displayed during his dominant 2013 season while also helping lead the club to a World Series title, he told SNY during Mets Hot Stove on Thursday night.
Speaking about his struggles last year, which ended in July following surgery to remove a rib after he was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, Harvey said "it was a tough experience and I'm glad it's over, but I'm ready to go." Asked whether he plans on altering the style of pitching he had prior to his injuries, Harvey said "the goal is to regain 2013 form and go out there and do what I did then."
The 27-year-old also talked about bringing a championship to New York, saying he can "kind of envision the parade that we're gonna have" when he looks around the Mets' locker room.
Glenn Sherlock may have been hired this past offseason to be the entire team's catching instructor, but he was clearly tasked with planting himself in Travis d'Arnaud's back pocket.
In the week that I've been here, I've only seen d'Arnaud out of ear shot from Sherlock once or twice, and it was walking from one field to another where Sherlock eventually ended up anyway...
The Mets considered trading OF Michael Conforto for Tigers OF J.D. Martinez before re-signing Yoenis Cespedes, Jon Heyman of FanRag sports reported.
According to Heyman, the Mets decided that one year of Martinez, who will be a free agent after this season, in exchange for Conforto, wasn't enough.
MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone reported on Jan. 5 that the Mets had made calls to Detroit about the possibility of trading for Martinez before agreeing to a four-year deal with Cespedes...
Mets manager Terry Collins spoke with the media on Thursday in Port St. Lucie. Here's what we learned...
Mets RHP Noah Syndergaard is excited about his Opening Day start, he told SNY during Mets Hot Stove on Wednesday night.
"It's an awesome feeling," he said. "I'm extremely excited that Terry instills that kind of confidence in me, and I'll rise to the occasion."
On skipping the upcoming World Baseball Classic, Syndergaard said his "heart and soul is with the Mets and that's who I want to compete with," adding that he threw lots of innings in 2015 and 2016 and wanted to give his arm a break...
The Mets have signed RHP Wilfredo Boscan to a minor league deal, the team announced Thursday.
He will report to minor league camp.
Boscan, 27, had a 6.46 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 15 1/3 innings (one start, five relief appearances) for the Pirates in 2016 during what was his first major league season...
Tradition Field, the Mets' Spring Training hjome in Port St. Lucie, has been renamed First Data Field, it was announced Thursday.
The ballpark has been the Spring Training home of the Mets since it opened in 1988, and it was announced this past November that the Mets would spend at least the next 25 years playing there...
I know, and you know, the Mets have some serious pitching talent. I actually take it for granted, I think. But, when seeing them all lined up together, throwing side by side, it takes the realization to a different level...
This morning, I watched Zack Wheeler work at length for the first time this spring. He threw free and easy and - most important - he showed no signs of discomfort or awkwardness. There was no shaking out his arm or looking at his elbow, which is what I recall earlier in camp. In today's instance, it was all business. He simply tossed a bullpen session, did it well, and that was that...
The Mets continued workouts at Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie on Wednesday...

Curtis Granderson, Asdrubal Cabrera, and Neil Walker will be leadoff options >> Read more ...
It was photo day today, which is when players get in full uniform to pose for head shots, pictures and promos used across baseball...
The individual photographers and media outlets set up stations that players go through one by one, where they stop, take direction and mostly do whatever is asked of them...
Mets manager Terry Collins spoke with the media on Wednesday in Port St. Lucie. Here's what we learned...
With the return of Yoenis Cespedes and Jay Bruce to New York's outfield this season, along with the presence of Curtis Granderson, 23-year old Michael Conforto has seemingly lost his spot in the starting lineup.
But Mets general manager Sandy Alderson does not believe it will discourage him from coming in and having a strong spring training, something that would make the decision about the outfield significantly more difficult for the GM.
"Well I think the important thing for Michael is to have a good spring, regardless of what happens at the end," Alderson told SNY's Gary Apple. "One of the things we focus on around here is process and not results. So I think Michael is committed to having a good spring, and you know, the way things are configured now, make it tough on us."
While Conforto will be attempting to prove to Alderson he belongs in the starting lineup this spring, he is not the only Met looking to show management of improvements made since last season...
Mets RHP Zack Wheeler threw another bullpen session on Wednesday in Port St. Lucie, mixing curveballs in for the first time.
Wheeler could pitch in his first Grapefruit League game on March 8 against the Astros, manager Terry Collins said.
Wheeler threw about 20 pitches off a mound on Sunday for the first time since he felt some tenderness in his right elbow during a recent bullpen session.
Pitching coach Dan Warthen said last Wednesday that the tenderness Wheeler felt during his bullpen session early last week was likely due to scar tissue, which remains from his Tommy John surgery...
When Jose Reyes doesn't start, the main options for the Mets at leadoff will be Asdrubal Cabrera, Curtis Granderson, and Neil Walker, manager Terry Collins said recently.
Reyes hit .267 with a .326 OBP and .443 SLG with eight HR, 13 doubles, four triples, and nine stolen bases in 60 games for the Mets last season.
He's expected to hit leadoff when he starts, but the Mets' starting infield from left to right as of now is expected to be David Wright, Cabrera, Walker, and Lucas Duda.
Granderson has had lots of experience hitting leadoff, but Collins is wary about moving him from the middle of the lineup...
David Wright is expected to only DH - and not play in the field - this weekend when Mets begin their the Grapefruit League schedule, Terry Collins told reporters Tuesday at Tradition Field.
"He is making strides," Collins said, noting that Wright may not get time at third base until the middle of March. "He probably won't play a lot until we make sure his arm is right. ... We just don't want him overexposed where if he makes a bad throw all of a sudden it's a big story."
The Mets continued workouts at Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie on Tuesday...
The dynamic between David Wright and Jose Reyes has changed, as has their role on the Mets >> Read more
Reyes, Yoenis Cespedes, and Asdrubal Cabrera have been spending lots of time together at camp >> Read more...
The dynamic I see between David Wright and Jose Reyes is not what I remember from the old days. It has changed, just as I am sure they have changed as men.
In the early days of their relationship, they were the two young guys called up to Shea Stadium at roughly the same time. The team was built around them. They were always paired together in photo shoots, on magazine covers and on the same side of the field...
The big-name players on the Mets are all spending way more time together on and off field than I recall seeing here in previous spring trainings. That said, Jose Reyes, Asdrubal Cabrera and Yoenis Cespedes are close to inseparable.
They stretch together, they hit in the same groups, they eat together before and after practice, and they joke around in the field and at the cage. They're clearly doubling down on the friendship they began building last summer.
Hopefully, that escalation doesn't end in St. Lucie, but continues to grow and fuel the team's run production like it did during the second half in 2016...
Mets manager Terry Collins spoke with the media on Tuesday in Port St. Lucie. Here's what we learned...
Free agent C Matt Wieters is close to signing what will likely be a two-year deal with the Nationals that contains an opt-out after the first year, reports Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.
The deal will be worth $21 million, with $10 million paid in 2017, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.
Wieters, 30, hit .243 with a .302 OBP and .409 SLG with 17 HR and 66 RBI in 124 games last season for the Orioles.
In the event Jeurys Familia begins the season under suspension, Addison Reed will be the team's closer and Fernando Salas will be his set-up man, Terry Collins said Monday.
"As of today, he would be that guy, because he has done it before and he's been successful at it," Collins said of Reed, who had a 1.97 ERA and identical 1.97 FIP in 80 games last season.
He and the Mets avoided salary arbitration in December, agreeing to a one-year deal worth $7.75 million, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.

Alex Alvarez puts down his coffee and lights up a cigarette.
He noodles out The Exorcist theme on the piano in his living room. Then he turns to his collection of Star Wars figures. "They were mine when I was 5," he says proudly. Now they belong to his son, Griffin. "I was obsessed with Star Wars," he adds. "The impact it had on my generation's imagination was rather staggering."
Rather. For a guy with some of the most powerful connections in the movie business, Alvarez, founder of the Gnomon School of Visual Effects, in Hollywood, is an unapologetic geek. His baggy army-green pants are hiked up by a black quasi-military belt with three rows of grommets. He shares his Los Feliz home in L.A. with a collection of latex monsters with bulging eyes and antennae. He throws Jägermeister-soaked parties packed with artists who sometimes sit down and sketch on the fly for their friends, with the results thrown up on a big screen. ("It's kind of like Sex, Lies, and Videotape," admits one regular. "You might be drawing something embarrassing depending on how many shots you've had.")
But all traces of dorkiness fall away when Alvarez takes his place at the front of his class on character-and-creature design at Gnomon. Seven pairs of eyes pin their gaze on his round, youthful face; his commanding 6-foot-1-inch frame; and the thick mustache that connects to a beard manicured to follow his jawline. Long strands of jet-black hair are slicked back and chopped abruptly at the nape. Over the course of his lecture, he uses words such as "sci-fi'd out," "badass," "hard-core awesomeness," and "zombie dragon" as naturally as "topology" and "base mesh." When Alvarez taps into a key concept, he raises his eyebrows and gesticulates in symmetrical and controlled motions, like a mime. These gestures become a kind of geometry, as if he's physically molding the same 3-D polygons he models on his computer and projects onto a screen at the head of the room.
With his buttery charisma and bottomless technical chops, Alvarez has become the pipeline between Hollywood's studios and rising digital artists. In fact, for an industry increasingly driven by — and dependent on — digital effects, Gnomon has become its most dependable stockpile of highly refined fuel. When Alvarez started the school back in 1997, computer graphics (CG) were just breaking out. Jurassic Park, Independence Day, and Toy Story had proved the box-office appeal of visual effects and 3-D animation (a 3-D representation of 2-D images, not the stereo 3-D camera and projection technology that's all the rage today). But the talent pool had yet to catch up. Alvarez was only 24 at the time, an "applications engineer" for Alias|Wavefront, which created software used in such movies as Terminator 2, and was making daily rounds to the studios to school artists in 3-D modeling and animation. He mined those connections and created a school joined at the hip to the industry. Patricia Beckmann-Wells, manager of school and outreach relations at Walt Disney Animation Studios, calls Alvarez a visionary for redefining the educational landscape for CG. "It was an undefined beast 10 years ago," she says. "Alex took it on himself to fill a void."
Today, Gnomon is considered the MIT of visual effects — the most reliable route to a real job for art-school grads focused on Hollywood. Teachers are working pros drawn from DreamWorks, Industrial Light & Magic, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Disney, Pixar, Digital Domain, Rhythm & Hues, Blizzard, and Electronic Arts. "These are the people pushing boundaries," says Jeffrey A. Okun, chair of the Visual Effects Society. Alvarez himself is both admired and feared for his talent; students log 16-hour days to get their work in good-enough shape for him to tear apart. "I had the luxury of having classes with Alex," says Tefft Smith II, who graduated from Gnomon in 2000 and worked at studios like LookFX and Zoic before returning to the school as director of education. "My brain just felt like it was going to explode — but in a good way."
"My interactions with him leave me gob smacked!" exclaims Okun. "He is a Svengali, but in the best way. A student goes in there feeling like the world's biggest loser, without a creative bone in his body. Twenty minutes with the guy, and he's written the greatest opera ever."
Given the performance at the U.S. box office in 2008 — attendance dropped 4.7% — digital effects have become ever more important to the studios, and not simply because the majority of the 100 top-grossing titles ever are effects-driven or animated films. Digital effects can also save money — lots of it — by reducing production time, papering over continuity problems or other glitches that weren't caught on set, and even by generating entire scenes from the thinnest visual material. And in a business built on software, the more you know, the more you're worth. Alvarez's range makes him all but priceless.
Neville Page, one of Hollywood's top creature designers, hired him last year to work on James Cameron's upcoming Avatar. Page says they sat in a room together over the course of a year, animating Page's 3-D models. "There was a shot on Avatar where Neville had this background painting of a forest, just a static painting, and I was asked to bring it to life," Alvarez explains, fingering a Tibetan charm (to ward off evil spirits) dangling from his neck on a silver chain. "So that was a lot of particle-effects animation — fireflies flying around, insects zooming in and out. That's not modeling at all, but all particle systems, dynamics, and fields." Alvarez had a profound impact on J.J. Abrams's Star Trek prequel, too, says Page, who asked him for help in animating a concept for the "Red Snow Monster" emerging from ice: "I said, 'Can you help make it walk across the floor?' He came back with animations that way exceeded my expectations. He did the entire immersive scene and made it so bloody cool."
With the new craze for stereo 3-D — with its manna-like promise of pumped up revenue (tickets cost $3 extra on average) — Alvarez has expanded his initial idea for Gnomon into the foundations of a geek empire. He's a guy who thinks big picture from the start, says Page: "If we spoke to NASA on the chance we could all go to the moon, I would be designing the rocket ship and Alex would have a business plan." Alvarez has built a line of Gnomon downloadable tutorials, created online classes, and produced hundreds of training DVDs by iconic artists such as Syd Mead (Blade Runner, Tron) and Iain McCaig (Star Wars episodes 1, 2, and 3). Everyone from LucasArts to Microsoft collects the DVDs, as do art schools across the country. "The DVDs are truly visionary," says Page. "A lot of artists think you don't share — you developed this technique, so it's yours. Now you can get great artists on your computer and watch how they work, even if you're in India or you have only 50 bucks. The community of artists has changed across the world because of these DVDs."
Alvarez's empire has also expanded to commercial projects outside the film world. He recently created a caricature-style, 3-D animated short on the economy for Berkshire Hathaway. "The short features 13 people, including Warren Buffett, and the GEICO Gecko," says Alvarez. "Each delivers a line of dialogue, promising that everyone at Berkshire will work their hardest to make sure we get through these tough times." Alvarez and his partner at Gnonom, Darrin Krumweide, along with Tefft Smith, spent months creating a 3-D animated blueprint for a large-scale project by singer Marc Anthony. Gnomon is also finishing work on a music video for Lolly Jane Blue's "White Swan," directed by in-house resident artist Sil van der Woerd.
Alvarez often asks his students to work on those real-world projects. "Sil wanted CG cotton candy that's growing out of pools of water. We put problems on students' plates that don't already have a solution." That's why when McCaig needs fresh blood to work on a feature, he calls Alvarez and asks for folks to add to his team. "I can only do that if they're trained a certain way — professional and skilled — so I pull heavily from Gnomon," he says.
Thanks to Alvarez, students at Gnomon aren't just production drones. They have a sense of how to make "images that are part of the larger story," says Michael Fink, CEO of Frantic Films. As Alvarez tells his students, it's all about their ability to fill in the blanks.

Recently, the Utah Back Country Horseman met and recognized their newest chapter, the San Rafael Back Country Horseman. The establishment of the San Rafael Back Country Horseman, based in Carbon and Emery counties, was a culmination of several months' effort by a number of people in Carbon and Emery counties. The Back Country Horseman of Utah (BCHU) an organization dedicated to preserving pack and saddle stock use in the America's back country recognized their newest chapter, the San Rafael Back Country Horseman.
Wayne Ludington, the chapter president stated that it has been a good experience to meet and work with a number of people in Emery and Carbon counties who use and are interested in sound management of the public lands for saddle stock use.
The Back Country Horsemen of Utah is a non-profit organization presently consisting of 11 local chapters spread across the state. They work with public land administrators and develop relationships to assist the land managers in making decisions for the good of all stock users. They work to perpetuate the common sense use and enjoyment of horses and recreational stock in Utah's road less back country; assist various governmental agencies in their maintenance and management of said resources; educate, encourage and solicit active public participation in the wise and sustaining use of horses and other recreational stock, commensurate with our heritage and the back country resources; work to ensure the public lands remain open to recreational stock use; and foster and encourage the formation and continuation of local back country horse organizations.
The San Rafael Back Country Horseman is made up of people from Carbon and Emery counties that share a love of using saddle stock to see all of the beauty of Carbon and Emery counties. Some of the members use pack stock with their horses while others find that they can see everything on day trips, but we all have a common concern about maintaining stock use on the public lands. The chapter meets the third Wednesday of every month and the November meeting will be at the Carbon County Court House on Nov. 15 at 6:30 p.m.
The San Rafael chapter has been active since January 2006 and has been working to establish relationships with the local public land management agencies in Carbon and Emery counties. They have completed two volunteer projects. Their first activity was maintenance on the Second Water Canyon Trail Head on the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The chapter removed the brush that was choking the trail head and replaced rotting wooden rails. Their next work project was to assist the USFS in building the Horse Canyon Trail Head in Scad Valley. The chapter helped construct a bridge for horse and hiker use over a small narrow stream. The project included digging in anchors and hauling five 12 inch diameter 20 feet long pine logs a hundred yards to the bridge. In the past this stream had been responsible for the death of at least one horse and this bridge eliminated this danger. It also provides protection for the riparian vegetation that grows along the stream.
While organized to work with the land agencies and to help encourage and support horse use, the chapter has also found time to go on several pleasure rides. They have enjoyed rides on the San Rafael Swell as well as Manti-La Sal National Forest. They had scheculed a ride in Range Creek , but it was washed out by rain, and is planned to be rescheduled in the spring.
The chapter is looking for additional members who would like to volunteer some time to perpetuate saddle stock use on the public lands and who would enjoy the comradary of others while working and riding horses or mules on the public lands.

Thanks for joining our chat!
On Tuesday, 1/20, Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president
of the United States, and it was a historic moment for the United States! But you probably already knew that — after all, between teachers, parents, and,
like, every single news reporter in the country, it seems like everyone has been talking about the inauguration. Except you never really hear what kids have to say. What's up with that?
Well, we gave kids their chance to talk about the inauguration. On Thursday, 1/22, we hosted a real-time online chat room on THE STACKS and invited kids to discuss the inauguration with one another.
Thanks to all of you guys who joined the chat.

T.J. Graham Wanted To Be A Bill
by Howard Simon
posted May 10 2012 12:00AM
Based on his parents resume, it isn't surprising T.J. Graham is involved in athletics. What is surprising is the sport he chose. Instead of following his parents path into track and field, Graham opted for football and will now attempt to make the Bills look smart for selecting him in the third round of last month's draft.
Speed is his greatest asset and you can credit Graham's bloodlines for that. His father, Trevor, won a silver medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics with the Jamaican 4x400 relay team. His mother, Ann, ran track in college and now coaches in high school. But T.J. wanted to be different so he concentrated more on football and evolved as a player over his four years at North Carolina State.
"When he came to N.C State, he was a track star who was playing football" Wolfpack Coach Tom O'Brien told WGR during a recent interview. "I think he's grown into a viable option. He will grow and get better each and every day because he works so hard at it. He is now a football player with great speed."
Graham, who has been timed anywhere from 4.37 to 4.39 in the 40 yard dash, played all four years at N.C. State but wasn't a big factor in the offense until his senior season when he led the team in receiving with 46 catches for 757 yards and 7 touchdowns.
"My football knowledge wasn't that great coming into college" Graham told WGR. He credits O'Brien and Offensive Coordinator Dana Bible for his ascent into the NFL Draft. "You could tell my career got better and its just me understanding offense better and understanding football better" Graham said.
Graham has done his homework in preparation for what he hopes will be a long and successful pro career. He spent last season watching as many NFL games as possible to see which teams he would fit in with the best. That's one reason why he was excited when the Bills called his name.
"I'm happy where I landed" said Graham. "I think I am falling into a good situation where I can help out a team and play right away. Watching Stevie(Johnson) and (Ryan) Fitzpatrick play, I feel like I could play with them. I fit right in that(offense), they needed a guy who can take the top off, somebody that can get down the field. I was pretty excited about the possibility of playing for them last fall."(while watching the Bills on TV)
Shortly after being drafted by the Bills, Graham got in touch with the number one wide receiver and the starting qb. "I enjoy watching Stevie and Ryan play, I told them that" Graham said on WGR. "They tweeted me and Ryan sent me a text too. I think they're kind of impressed with my Bills knowledge."
Graham was a major special teams threat at N.C. State, returning punts and kicks in each of his four seasons. He left Raleigh as not only the school's all time leader in kick returns but the best in ACC history too.
But the Bills have said they plan to let Graham focus on the receiving position as opposed to the return games. Chan Gailey said he sees Graham as an outside, field stretching receiver. Last season he had a catch of 47 yards or more in five of the Wolfpack's 13 games. His career yards per catch average was 14.7.
One part of his game that will definitely need work is ball security. Graham had 6 fumbles last season and 12 in his career.
He didn't completely ignore the sport of track and field, where he excelled in high school as a 2 time state champion in the 100 and 200 meters. Graham waited until his senior year to join the track team at N.C. State and ended up earning 2
team All American honors as a sprinter.

Riceboro, Georgia to get Almost $7.5 million In Recovery Act Funds for Sewer Treatment Plant Expansion Project
Written by E.J. Stapler, Rural Development Public Information Coordinator, Georgia
Shirley Sherrod, Georgia state director of USDA Rural Development, Mayor Bill Austin, and other officials celebrated Earth Day in Riceboro, where Phase II of a sewer collection and treatment project will be completed thanks to a USDA Rural Development loan and grant for $7,495,200. The project will eliminate a health and safety hazard, as well as provide service for 225 new users. The funding is provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
"This is a wonderful way to observe Earth Day, because this project will help clean up the environment," Sherrod said. "This project is very close to the ocean, as well."
The City of Riceboro, located less than 10 miles from the ocean in Liberty County, is spread over about 4,000 acres, but has a population of only 800. Liberty County is ranked by the State of Georgia as being among those with the greatest need and highest poverty levels.
A sewer main will be installed to serve two areas. Those customers currently are experiencing failing septic systems, which creates a health hazard. Service will also be provided to a large, local employer.
Also, part of the Earth Day celebration was a river clean up and a poster contest sponsored by the city.

Great wedge, but....
"I bought these and loved them. As everyone says, they're great with jeans or a skirt, however the wedge part of the sandal has started to separate from the shoe, and I haven't had them for a full year! Maybe I bought a defective pair, but just beware that they could possibly only last a year before they'll need to be repaired."

"These are very comfy and easy to walk in. They are pretty tall, so if you're not used to platform wedges you might have to get used to them though. The color is the same as in the picture. The front strap across my toes is a little snug. I have a little bit wider width across my toes than average so it pinches and gets sore there after awhile. If you have average-width in that area you would be fine though. This is a great go-to classic sandal to have!"

Love this shoe but...
"This is an amazing shoe that goes with literally everything. It is definitely one of the more comfortable shoes I own. It gets a little painful on the ball of the foot after a few hours but I'm sure that can be fixed with an insert. I have to completely agree with the previous reviewer that it easily stains and I really don't understand why. After my first wear, I was packing them away and noticed a few drop stains on the front top strap. I actually had to double check if this was leather. If it weren't for that it would have been a perfect shoe."

^ Now I know where it was from. The highlight of that manga.
Chapter 6
Spoiler!So UQ Holder is an immortal family eh? And it looks like we are going to meet a lot of unique immortals throughout this series. Can't wait to meet the ones the got immortal through robotics. I wonder if Chachamaru is one. Zazie is probably immortal, so I think she will show up too. And I think Asuna may be a type of immortal as well, but It seems like a choice thing, so I think she would probably just have let herself die.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
After thinking for a bit I think I know a few more candidates of immortal buddies. Chisame could quite possible be a save point immortal if her magic advanced enough. Sayo could count as immortal because, well, you can't die if you are already dead. And Mana could be a partial immortal, being a half demon, would be cool to see more of her. Other than that I don't really know, but I hope some are immortal and show up.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
I doubt zazie is immortal, but she is likely to be long lived so I hope she has some kind of role later on or appearance at that is in the manga. Along with rakan, his hacks should make him immortal.
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
Chapter 7
Spoiler!Right into the first test it seems, well based on the time limit this is going to be done in no time at all, always seems to be with ridiculous time limits like that.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
time skip, calling it now.
JK, yea this shouldn't take too long.
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
Chapter 8
Spoiler!So the 8 year time limit is in case you get eaten, got it. And interesting details on the different types of immortality, the vampire one sounds a lot like leviathans from supernatural.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Chapter 9
Spoiler!Ah mermaid flesh, I've heard of that type of immortality. And a Gravity Blade? I wonder if Albireo made it.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Chapter 10
Spoiler!I wonder how high up that sword goes. 1,000,000 fold is my guess, but it probably can go higher.

Daymond Langkow - An Appreciation
Robert Cleave
August 30 2011 07:56AM
This is clearly one of those pieces that I'd rather not have to write, since I'm compelled to discuss a player that, if I had my druthers, would have had the chance to author a Conroy-style coda over the next few years. A player enjoying a period of graceful aging and a nice retirement ceremony is a rare thing to witness in the modern world, though, and yesterday, Daymond Langkow became the latest athlete asked to move along as he neared the gloaming.
Whatever people might think of these fin de siècle Flames, it's fairly obvious that Daymond Langkow played an important part in the rebirth of the club as a competitive force. His acquisition from the Coyotes for Oleg Saprykin and Denis Gauthier in the late summer of '04 turned out as well as any team could ever hope, as quality was obtained for flotsam, and the subsequent seasons revealed a player that could do something quite rare in the game. Daymond Langkow could play against the other team's better players and not get throttled.
Langkow certainly prospered offensively in his first few years as a Flame, and it's easy to think that his days as Jarome Iginla's center were the pinnacle of his career. As a scorer that's obviously so, but the time where my appreciation grew for what Daymond Langkow was really all about peaked in 2008/09 and 2009/10.
That first season saw the Flames move Langkow away from Iginla's side and away from the offensive opportunities that can allow players to post shiny boxcar numbers. Mike Keenan moved him down the order with Rene Bourque as his primary sidekick, and added to the burden by asking those two gents to carry Sparklepants along for the ride. Instead of pouting his way out of town, he accepted his role as the anchor of the second line with no fuss, and before injuries and hubris from the management suite shot the season to hell, Langkow was a key cog on a very good team.
09/10 saw him fed to the toughs in order to paper over the club's lack of depth through the first 50-odd games, and he and Bourque managed to make Nigel Dawes a break-even player against top line opposition without the luxury of percentages or any of the other qualifiers we look for to explain away good results. After the trades of that season, he and Chris Higgins spent their month together performing the same voodoo with Ales Kotalik, as they conspired to drag a mediocrity to some very healthy outshooting numbers.
That bit about his linemates might strike a sensible person as a pattern. Daymond Langkow, when provided with one other useful player (Bourque, Higgins), could carry an openly inferior third party to good results against top-six NHL competition. We often talk about difference makers. To my eye, what Langkow provided the Flames over those two years qualified as making a real difference, and as we saw from Bourque's lackluster 10/11 performance, it seems apparent Daymond Langkow was the primary figure in that duo.
Irrespective of whatever misgivings I might have had about the club's performance these last few years, watching a pro like Daymond Langkow operate was a genuine pleasure. There are any number of players that can dominate with physical ability, but what we witnessed with Langkow was a player that was able to thrive more on his wits than via any overwhelming athletic talent. He simply knew what to do at both ends of the ice, and as we've seen over the last year-plus, that commodity is in rarer supply than might be commonly acknowledged. Friend of the blog Matt Fenwick often referred to Daymond Langkow as "instant chemistry", and no matter how one might parse results, it's pretty clear that playing with Langkow was good news for nearly anyone the Flames had on their roster from the fall of 2005 onward.
That ability to make others better was why his dreadful injury two springs ago in St. Paul was such an unmanageable loss for the team. Calgary was suddenly bereft of its one reliable two-way center, and the team's collapse in 09/10 and its failure to make the second season last year seems reasonable given how central Langkow's presence was to Brent Sutter's vision of the team. The Flames needed him to play the toughs so that others could prosper, and shorn of that option, the club never quite seemed to get things right, especially against better teams.
It's not unreasonable for people to wonder what Daymond Langkow has left in the wake of his year away from the game, and I don't doubt for a minute that the club has its own questions about his long-term viability as a top forward. Between perceived team needs and the invincible tyranny of the calendar, maybe it's not that much of a shock that today's events happened, and it might well end up being the proper move for all parties.
Even if that ends up being the case, I do hope that people can grasp exactly what sort of player the Flames had wearing number 22 these last six seasons, even if so much of what Daymond Langkow provided was beyond the reach of the boxscore. Fans often opine that they admire talent without overweening ego, that they want players that will sacrifice their own results for the good of the team in the collective. I can't think of a player that exemplified those characteristics more directly than Daymond Langkow did during his stay with the Flames. He was a professional in the very best sense of that word, and the Flames are a lesser organization with him gone.
So with that in mind, I can only offer my best wishes to the man as he heads to the desert. In the end, players really only owe us their best efforts, and if there was ever a Calgary Flame of this era that paid that debt in full, it was Daymond Langkow. Good luck, sir, and thanks.
August 30 2011, 08:37AM
Agree totally. Daymond was always a Flame you could count on to show up, and quietly and efficiently go about whatever job he was assigned. I too will miss seeing #22.
Thanks for the memories Mr. Langkow.
Simply well put.
August 30 2011, 08:44AM
Nice piece! I think this may be a bit of a homecoming for Langks in Phoenix though, so it's bittersweet. He may well get that well deserved retirement ceremony in familiar territory.
I find it interesting that he had next to no hesitation in leaving. He waived his NTC almost immediately.
August 30 2011, 09:33AM
Having played there previously, it wouldn't surprise me if he still owned property down there.
August 30 2011, 09:42AM
As someone who was 'he doesn't score' I have come around to your position. I sum it up as: On a team of pussies, Daymond Langkow was not one.
The explanations offered by management on this one make no sense to me. Just an odd trade, made odder still by the fact that we apparently had a player PHX coveted and all we could extract was Stempniak. To me, just another example of the poor management on this team. And they try to use Langkows poor-ish numbers as cover for the trade.
Dude played in the playoffs with a broken wrist. Says it all to me. Well, that and he didn't use his broken neck to fake retire and get on with another team (cough Roberts cough)
August 30 2011, 09:51AM
@Kent Wilson
I think Feaster said in his interview on the Fan yesterday "he still has a home down there" - whether that means a property or not I'm not sure.
August 30 2011, 09:52AM
I still don't get this trade - the flames must believe that Langks will not fully recover. It smells kinda like Gary Roberts...
Flames are run by a lawyer so the concept of "risk management" played a part in this move meaning there are more risks (injury, age) with him vs "Stempy". But he's a great guy, are rare solid & super-intelligent player so will be missed in some way for sure. Hopefully he does not score 60 points, be a leader, and be +25 for Phoenix thus beating us out for 8th playoff spot but that could happen. Again I hope B Morrison can replace what he brought given his similarity in intelligence and versatility on the ice.
August 30 2011, 10:27AM
@MC Hockey
Morrison and Langkow are comparable in style, perhaps, but not in results. Morrison hasn't drive the play against quality players since the "West Coast Express" days with Naslund and Bertuzzi. He hasn't been a hard minutes option for years.
Having played there previously, it wouldn't surprise me if he still owned property down there.
Are you sure he can afford 2 properties?
August 30 2011, 11:05AM
Have you seen the prices of houses in Phoenix?
what is going on now we have given up another quality player for a third liner this feaster think was brought in to dismantell our team and leave us to the wolves and by the middle of the season leave laughing all the way sorry to see lanks go what a joke this managment has become with what feaster has done to this point expect another 7 or 8th first round player . hey perhaps that is the plane do an edmonton start grabing all the first pick players in the next few yrs i for 1 will not be purchasing any NHL tv for I on;y whatch calgary and don't think I want to see what is up coming . Feaster u are a Pr$%#%K and many more names I can think of
I did hear on the radio that he owns his house down there still (never sold his property when he was traded) and is still great friends with Doan. So i'm not surprised he accepted so readily. Nice to see a player being shipped out because of age, go to a team that wants him.
August 30 2011, 02:06PM
Great article as always Bob! It is never great to see one of the players that you always think.. no.. KNOW you can rely on, leave the organization. We haven't had many of those over the past few years, which make it especially hard to see Langkow go.
The more pragmatic side of me wonders though if Langkow at 35 years and 18 months out of the NHL was going to be the same player he was when he left. I hope he IS, just not when the Flames play Phx.
I'm hoping the Flames can somehow find a diamond in the rough when it comes to development of a new true 2 way player. What I really hope is that now that the Flames are getting younger and faster, that they won't need a line like Daymond's to shoulder so much of the load.. Or rather, that the tough minutes he logged aren't going to be as tough as they were when Langkow faced them.
August 30 2011, 05:11PM
This Article is now saved on the hard drive.
I was hoping 2011/12 was going to be the most important season for the Flames, in terms of Langkow as an asset. I expected him to re-elevate Bourque's value and his other wingers this season. It potentially could have been a way to trade him or other overpaid and under-achieving forwards. Langkow consistently makes his line mates better, and this is why we needed this guy to stay. I don't believe most Flames fans will notice that he is gone and that's too bad, because was simply a great asset.
Langkow's contributions to the team were invaluable. The fact he could elevate a 25 goal scorer in Bourque speaks volumes about Langs.
However, Bourque has to do it on his own now, no more being hand held by others.
Langs is such a good defensive forward, he could have been used on defence. Like Bowman used Fedorov on defence in Detroit.
August 30 2011, 10:32PM
Very well written article and I can't agree more. Langkow has been one of my favorite Flames since he joined the team. Played very sound positional hockey and had great awareness on the ice. Only major weakness his game had that I can think of, and not all that major, was his faceoffs. I hope he does well in Phoenix. As for the return, I doubt he would have fetched much more from any other team than what Phoenix gave up.

Beauty insiders have been pampering their strands with Phyto's coveted line of botanically derived, good-for-your-hair care for the last four decades. Clinically tested for performance, these naturally derived, cruelty-free formulas are packed in 100 percent recyclable containers, bringing eco-friendly hair care to a shower near you. Fans include Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, Oprah and the cast of "Gossip Girl".
Great For Dry/tangle Prone HairOh man, this stuff is great. Use it on damp hair, a few sprays will add hydration and prevent tangles. I'm not sure if the directions indicate, but I also use on dry hair for the same purpose...only spray into your hands first, then rub hands though your dry hair and voila! It works like a finishing spray and conditioner at the same time. Brilliant. As with other Phyto products, a little really does go a long way, and the bottle lasts forever, even with daily use. It's a great value, and a great product that I would recommend to anyone with dry or colored hair.Oct 29, 2011Jessica / San FranciscoHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Not That GreatI bought this leave in and expected it to do more. I do not think it was worth the money. It did make my hair soft. However it smelled a little too strong, and made my hair sort of heavy feeling. I would not buy it again, found this a waste of money.Feb 19, 2010Gretchen / North Tonawanda NY USA

This Is The BestI used a lot of leave-ins trying to find the perfect moisturizing/detangling one for my relaxed hair. When i saw this, and it was for color treated hair i thought what the heck colored hair is in the same dry state as colored hair. When I used this I feel in love cause it detangled my hair incredibly well and made my hair soft prior to flat ironing which i do at least once a week. It really helped my hair hold in moisture. This is the best product I used thus far but Im still on the lookout cause i have to buy one every 3wks and its not the cheapest product. I really like phyto though and Ive tried all their products for ultra dry/damaged hairJun 29, 2009MimiHAIR TYPEAfrican American

GDB 20: Smid wings it
Jason Gregor
November 20 2008 12:04PM
You will see another new wrinkle tonight for the Oilers. For the first time in his NHL career, Ladislav Smid will suit up on offence. He will play with Brodziak and Pouliot on the fourth line.
Smid always plays with emotion. Does he make the right decision all of the time? No. But his effort is always there. His robust style is what the Oilers need on their fourth line, and Smid is a good enough skater that in theory he should be able to be effective on the forecheck.
But the other areas of the job will be difficult for him. I sat down with Smid after he fielded questions from the largest scrum of reporters he had seen in his young career.
Gregor: Sniper Smid, is that your name now that you are a forward? Smid: Yeah, pretty much... the guys will have to get used to the new name. Gregor: Do you remember the last time you scored a goal? Smid: No... Ahhh no... Well, well. No, it's been too long. (Laughs) Gregor: Do you remember the last time you played forward? Smid: Third grade. I was about seven. That's pretty impressive, eh! Gregor: Were you centre or winger? Smid: I was centre, top goal scorer on my team actually. Then they put me on defence, because my Dad played defence for the Czech Republic national team. Maybe if I was still a centreman, I would be a top scorer. You never know. (Laughs again). Gregor: You seem excited, but what is going to be the biggest challenge? Smid: I am excited, but still I'm very nervous like usual. Defensively there are lots of new things. I'm used to being in the corners and in front of the net. Now I have to cover their D, and they are the best in the league, so it will be different, but I have to deal with it and hopefully I will do well. Gregor: Your coach talked about players to compete every shift. You have shown that willingness as a D-man. Is your plan to just dump and chase and hopefully dish out some hits? Smid: Yes, that's the idea that MacT had. I have to pressure their D and see what happens. Gregor: Did you practice tipping pucks or deflecting pucks in practice today? Smid: I'm really bad at that. I'm just going to stand in front of the net and hope it goes in. I don't know how guys do it. It is a miracle to me if I can tip it. If it happens it is a miracle.
You have to like Smid's honesty. You couldn't wipe the smile off his face today. He just wants to play. He was asked if he thought about saying no to the idea when MacTavish approached him, "Are you crazy? This is the NHL, I just want to play."
Later on when everyone was gone, Smid admitted to me that Detroit might not be the best team to get used to playing forward against. They are the best in the league and it will be a challenge.
Then I asked him, "When you go out, do you try and talk to the best looking girl or just an average one? Testing yourself against the best is always more rewarding." He laughed in agreement. "That is very true. Hopefully I don't get shot down tonight."
Smid is one of the funnier guys to talk with. He doesn't shy away from most questions, and he seems like he really enjoys being in the NHL. It will be interesting to see if he still enjoys it after going up against Lidstrom, Rafalski and the rest of the Detroit D tonight.

November 20 2008, 09:33PM

it is amazing how many points our Dmen get.

So, once again, they finally woke up in the third period, but too little too late as always. At least it was a better effort than last time.

we gotta shed the shitanusly® bad starts.
November 21 2008, 08:32AM
My sources tell me that Garon and des Laurier (sp?) will be playing as the scoring centers the Oilers so desperately need very soon. Trust me on this one.
just the way CracT drawed it up....lull them to sleep for 40 odd minutes....then bam!~!!!1 score 3 ....oh wait says CracT they got 4....shit!!!! I hope Kz didn't pay for the ppv, then he'll never find out what happened here tonight.

A well know Emery County resident was killed when a truck struck him during a pioneer reenactment at the mouth of Fairview Canyon at approximately 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 12.
Montell Seely, the founder of the Castle Valley Pageant and its most ardent supporter died at the scene of the accident along with family friend, Hannah Wagstaff, 13, who was from Tropic.
The driver of the truck said that as he approached the group he could not see them because of the sun in his eyes as he headed up the canyon. Some reports said that Seely had run back behind the handcart to wave at the truck to slow it down when he was struck. Reportedly the group on the road had a car in front of them to warn on coming traffic but no vehicle at the rear of the wagon and handcart group.
Three families were involved in the reenactment of the pioneers trek from Sanpete County into the area that is now known as Emery County. Two children were also injured in the accident and were transported to a local hospital. One child suffered a broken hip and is still in the hospital.

I know this has been covered but id rather be safe than sorry. Il be running a mm200 off of a dryer plug, 4 prong with 2 straight side posts one l shaped and a circle, to the welder plug. Ive seen everything from having to spending 80 for the wire to taking a dryer plug cable and capping the neutral wire and hooking rest to a welder receptacle.. ive also considered changing the plug on my machine to a 4 prong. Which is better? Any advice? Also i know doing this isnt ideal but I live in a rental house and cant wire in a dedicated 220v 50a breaker
No announcement yet.

Check the wire gauge running to that dryer plug. If it will support the amp load for your welder, go down to the big box store and but a couple of feet of SO cord, four prong plug to match the dryer receptacle and a receptacle to match your welder plug and wire up a pigtail converter. Fairly cheap conversion and you'll be able to leave both the welder and the dryer receptacle as is. If you need extra cord length to make the run to the welder, add that in.Miller 251...sold the spoolgun to DiverBill.

PS-Beware the transport regulations. Around they shippers won't let you load if it is not in compliance because they get fined too if you get caught. This may or may not apply where you are.Last edited by Meltedmetal; 12-09-2012, 09:06 AM. Reason: additional +

I don't have a kindle fire, but I have a Nook Color. My device will open powerpoint presentations using Quickoffice view them. It's not ideal - some of the word art and the music doesn't seem to come through. Maybe there's a better app.

Cancer Support and Resources
A diagnosis of cancer can place stress on everyone it touches. Sharing with other survivors and their loved ones can often help you cope with the fear and doubt the illness has created in your life. The Methodist Cancer Center in Memphis, Tennessee is proud to be involved with several area support groups, to help you and your loved ones successfully navigate through your cancer journey.
Through FACES (Families Adapting To Cancer Through Education and Support), the Methodist Cancer Center staff hopes to provide cancer survivors and their family members the information they need for mutual caring, awareness, education and encouragement.
The FACES brochure (PDF) is full of helpful information and resources for finding hospital, community, or national support services.
The Methodist Cancer Center is proud to be involved with several area support groups, including Reach to Recovery and the Cancer Survivors Network For more information on finding support in your area, please call the Cancer Center at 901.516.2579.
Spiritual Support
We recognize at the Cancer Center that a diagnosis of cancer can alter life perspective and result in powerful self-reflection. The result is that patients and families may feel overwhelmed by thoughts on the meaning of life, suffering, hope, forgiveness and reconciliation. Seeking greater understanding and strength, many people revisit their spiritual roots or religious faith in search of answers.
The Cancer Center staffs a board-certified chaplain who specializes in oncology, who works with a diverse faith community, striving to find connections for our patients and their families.To speak with the oncology Chaplain, call 901.516.7052.
Cancer Survivor Toolbox
The Cancer Survivor Toolbox is a free program of ten instructional and interactive audio tapes and CDs, available in English and Spanish, designed to help patients develop the skills they need to successfully navigate through their care and treatment choices. The toolbox is one of many support resources offered through the Methodist Healthcare Cancer Center. You may receive your free Toolbox, by calling the Methodist Cancer Center at 901.516.2461, while supplies last.
