Message from
Governor Janet Napolitano
Dear Friends, Whether you're a lifelong Arizonan or just moved to the Grand Canyon State, Arizona is truly a wonderful place to call home. In our state, the sun shines year round, and the future is getting even brighter as more and more people move to Arizona to raise their families, start a business or retire. Now is a particularly great time to be a senior in Arizona. As our population matures, we are working to enhance existing services and offer new ones that that will improve the quality of life for all seniors. For the first time in Arizona history, we have a policy advisor on aging to specifically work on the issues that matter most to seniors. Together, we're addressing a range of concerns, from lowering the cost of prescription drugs to ensuring job opportunities for mature workers. We've made great progress and are ahead of the curve in developing the necessary infrastructure to meet the needs of an aging population and support their ability to age with dignity and independence. Most importantly, we're making sure that you're connected to the services that you will benefit from the most. We've prepared this resource guide to help direct you to a variety of programs and services specifically for seniors. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact my Advisory Council on Aging at (602) 542-4710. We're here to help. Thank you for your continued support as we continue to move Arizona forward by improving the quality of life for all Arizonans from the youngest to the oldest. Yours Very Truly, Janet Napolitano Governor

Aging 2020: The Road Ahead
Arizona is faced with two key challenges when it comes to addressing the needs of senior citizens. First, today's seniors need a network of community resources that complement their active lifestyles, and services and support to assist them when problems arise. Second, even as we focus our energy on today's age 60+ population, we need to be cognizant of our state's changing demographics. By the year 2020, one in four Arizonans will be over the age of 60. This significant shift will bring both opportunities and challenges to our state. We're beginning to prepare our state and our residents for this change now. In March 2004, Governor Napolitano issued an Executive Order calling on Arizona's state agencies to begin planning now to meet the needs of our changing population. Fourteen agencies joined forces to create an Aging 2020 Plan. The Governor's Office, in collaboration with the Governor's Advisory Council on Aging, then presented this plan directly to our citizens. Through 40 public forums across the state, Arizona residents had the opportunity to learn about the draft plan and offer suggestions. The final Aging 2020 plan combined each of these perspectives to create a vision for a better Arizona. Today, state government is putting the Aging 2020 Plan to work. In the coming months, each participating state agency will prioritize its work, and meet with local stakeholders to coordinate this effort. As Arizona continues to grow, the state must be ready to meet the needs of our changing population. Under the leadership of the Governor's Office, Governor's Advisory Council on Aging and state agencies, we can meet this challenge. Our work today will prepare Arizona for a bright and prosperous tomorrow.

Governor's Advisory Council on Aging
The Governor's Advisory Council on Aging ("the Council") is a statewide body of 15 members appointed by the Governor to serve three-year terms. The Council does not provide direct services, but monitors and develops programs and policies that affect older adults. The Council was created by state law to review the development and implementation of the state plan on aging and to serve as the official state advocate for seniors promoting measures to enhance the quality of life for older adults. In this role, the Council gathers information about aging trends and makes recommendations to the Governor, the Legislature, and appropriate state agencies. By using ad-hoc committees, the Council reviews and develops strategies to address wide-ranging issues. Past and present issues include grandparent concerns, older worker issues, long-term care, energy and utilities, affordable housing, rural transportation, guardians and conservators, and misuse of medications by older adults. Current committees focus on Alzheimer's disease, social and health issues, legislative and policy coordination, and mature worker issues. The Council has been instrumental in providing training and awareness programs concerning vital aging issues. In addition, by creating public and private partnerships, the Council has been able to coordinate elder abuse training programs, plan services to Alzheimer's patients and families, promote intergenerational understanding, develop physical fitness activities for older adults, and serve as a catalyst to promote improvements and changes in Arizona's system of care for older persons. For more information about the Governor's Advisory Council on Aging, its members, or committees, call (602) 542-4710 or visit the Council's Web site at: www.azdes.gov/gaca.

Benefits CheckUp Arizona
In partnership with the National Council on the Aging (NOCA) and three Arizona foundations, Governor Napolitano launched Benefits CheckUp in Arizona in May 2004. Benefits CheckUp is an easy-to-use tool for seniors 55 years and older, and disabled citizens, to instantly and accurately - determine their eligibility for hundreds of public and private benefits including financial aid, in-home services, educational and volunteer opportunities, prescription drug coverage, health care, home energy, nutrition assistance and more. It links seniors directly to the agencies that offer services and provides information on how to access those benefits. Free Benefits CheckUp screenings are available online and at more than 70 sites throughout Maricopa and Mohave counties; in 2006, sites will be available throughout Arizona. If you'd like to conduct a screening of your own, log on to the Web site at www.benefitscheckup.org. For more information about Benefits CheckUp, call (800) 432-4040.
The State Health Insurance Assistance Program
The Arizona State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) is a free health-benefits counseling service for Medicare beneficiaries and their families or caregivers. Their mission is to educate, advocate, counsel and empower people to make informed decisions about Medicare and other health insurance-related services. SHIP counselors are available statewide to meet with you in person, and even visit your home if you are unable to come to them. To take advantage of SHIP services, call (800) 432-4040 or visit the web site at http://www.azdes.gov/aaa/programs/ship.

CopperRx Card
In 2003, Governor Napolitano created the Arizona CopperRxSM Card, one the nation's first free prescription drug discount cards. It offers substantial savings to any Medicare-eligible Arizonan and to Arizonans who qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. The card is honored at more than 500 pharmacies throughout Arizona and uses the buying power of seniors to save 15-55 percent on brand name and generic drugs, an average of $12.50 per prescription. More than 52,000 seniors across Arizona are taking advantage of the CopperRxSM Card and have saved more than $11.5 million in prescription costs to date. The savings start immediately. To learn more about the CopperRxSM Card, simply call (888) 227-8315 or visit my Web site at http://www.azgovernor.gov/copperxcard.
Life Care Planning
Arizona law allows individuals to make decisions about future health care treatment now so that if they become incapacitated later, their families and doctors will know what medical care they want or do not want. This type of advance planning is one of the most important gifts we can give our families. To simplify this process, as Attorney General, Governor Napolitano designed a straightforward life care planning system so you can make decisions now about your future. This program has been so popular, that current Attorney General Terry Goddard offers a similar initiative to Arizona residents. To receive these forms, as well as a list of facts and discussion topics that will help you make these important decisions, call (602) 542-2124 or visit http://www.azag.gov/seniors/life_care/LifeCarePlanning.html.

Legal Services
Whether it's a simple question about a power of attorney form or something more substantial like a tenant/landlord concern, the State of Arizona and Area Agencies on Aging offer a variety of free legal services to older Arizonans who need assistance. Such services are designed to safeguard the rights, interests, and property of older persons, to protect them from harm, and to provide advice and counseling to older persons and their families about financial and business concerns. Some legal concerns that attorneys may assist you with include power of attorney, guardianship/conservatorship, wills, living wills, trusts, and tenant/landlord concerns.
Home and Community Based Services
The Home and Community Based Services System (HCBS) is a comprehensive case managed system of care which offers an array of services designed to assist aging adults and persons with disabilities to live with dignity and independence in their own homes and communities. By providing appropriate levels of support, seniors are able to continue living independently and avoid institutional care, despite chronic health care conditions and physical disabilities. Services provided through the HCBS program include home health services, adult day care, home delivered meals, assistance with bathing, grooming and other personal care needs, medication management, transportation to medical appointments, and more. Certain eligibility criteria must be met to receive services. For more information, contact your local Area Agency on Aging.

Foster Grandparents
The Foster Grandparent Program encourages seniors, 60 and older, who have income at or below the poverty level to volunteer with special-needs children in their communities. Foster Grandparents volunteer an average of 20 hours per week, helping children with physical or learning disabilities. In return, seniors receive supplemental insurance, an annual physical, a small stipend for those who qualify, help with meal and transportation costs, and most importantly, the chance to make a positive difference in the life of a child. Seniors who are interested in becoming Foster Grandparents can call (800) 424-8867 or visit www.seniorcorps.com.
Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
More than 5 million children in our country live with grandparents and other relatives. In Arizona, 114,990 grandparents have their grandchildren living with them. Of those, 52,200 have the primary responsibility of caring for the children (Census 2000). These grandparents are keeping families together, yet raising a child can present many challenges and changes in a grandparent's life. Each fall, the Arizona Kinship Coalition and Beatitudes Center D.O.A.R. conducts "Grandparent's University" to help grandparents better cope with day-to-day issues of child-rearing. There are also numerous support groups in both urban and rural communities to help the families involved. To learn more about what's available in your community, contact the Governor's Advisory Council on Aging or your local Area Agency on Aging.

Safety and Protection
Long Term Care Ombudsman
Long Term Care Ombudsmen are specially trained and certified advocates who work to improve the quality of life and quality of care of residents living in long term care facilities. Ombudsmen provide routine visits to long term care facilities to talk to residents about their concerns and to monitor conditions in the facilities. Residents and their families may report a complaint to their Ombudsman, who will investigate and attempt to resolve the problem without legal intervention. Ombudsmen also provide educational services to long term care facility residents, families, staff and community members about resident rights, quality of care issues, and coordination with community services. Ombudsmen services are free of charge and strictly confidential. For Ombudsman assistance, contact your local Area Agency on Aging or call the State Long Term Care Ombudsman at (602) 542-4446. To report concerns about care and violations of federal and state licensing requirements, contact the Arizona Department of Health Services: Skilled Nursing Facilities: (602) 364-2690 Assisted Living Facilities: (602) 364-2639
Adult Protective Services
Arizonans over age 18 who see themselves or another person being abused (physically, psychologically, or emotionally), neglected, or exploited (being taken advantage of) can report their concerns to Arizona Adult Protective Services (APS). APS staff will investigate complaints and take appropriate action based on their findings and state law. To report concerns about possible abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation, call the Arizona Adult Protective Services Toll-Free line at: (877) 767-2385.

Caregiver Support
Supporting Arizona's Family Caregivers
Family caregivers are a critical part of Arizona's long term care system because family members provide the majority of care to seniors. But being a caregiver can be very stressful, and can lead to health problems. To make sure that we keep our family caregivers healthy, we provide supports and services through the Family Caregiver Support Program to both relatives caring for seniors and grandparents raising grandchildren. Family caregivers can access the following assistance:
Education, information, and assistance in accessing community services. Respite care (a temporary break) from caregiving responsibilities. Assistance with care for loved ones with disabilities who meet eligibility criteria.
Supplemental Services that complement and support the care provided by the family caregiver.
For more information about services and assistance available to family caregivers, contact your local Area Agency on Aging or contact the State Office on Aging Family Caregiver Support Program at (602) 542-4446.

Caregiver Support
Special Assistance to Caregivers of People with Alzheimer's Disease
Being a family caregiver can be a challenging and exhausting experience. But caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease can be especially difficult, as you watch your loved one's memory and ability for self care slowly fade away. The experience is even more demanding if you have few resources for assistance. In response to the growing number of people in Arizona with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia and to address the need for culturally competent caregiver services, we created the Alzheimer's Walk of Friendship (or Camino de Amistad). The purpose of the Alzheimer's Walk of Friendship is to provide education, outreach, and direct services to low-income minority persons with dementia and their caregivers. The Department of Economic Security/Aging and Adult Services Administration administers the program in partnership with the Area Agency on Aging, Region One, Inc. and the Arizona Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. For more information about services for persons with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers, contact your local Area Agency on Aging or the state Alzheimer's Program at (602) 542-4446.

Your Input is Important!
Our ability to meet the needs of Arizona's aging population and develop innovative solutions to the issues seniors face depends on an engaged citizenry.
Mature Worker Initiative
Arizona is one of four states in the country working with the AARP to launch a national Mature Worker Initiative to connect Arizona's mature workers to productive and satisfying careers. This initiative will provide mature workers with access to training that will allow them to remain competitive in the job market and link them to employers who value their experience. The Governor's Advisory Council on Aging is collaborating with the public/ private sector to develop strategies for employment opportunities and hosting mature worker job fairs across Arizona to promote this important initiative. To learn more, please contact the Council at (602) 542-4710.
Citizens' Workgroup on the Long Term Care Workforce
In March 2004, Governor Napolitano created the Citizens' Workgroup on the Long Term Care Workforce. More than 40 community organizations and private citizens have developed recommendations to address Arizona's shortage of direct care workers such as health aides, personal care attendants, and certified nursing assistants. To learn more about how you can get involved, call (602) 542-4710.

Arizona's Centenarian Program
It is a great distinction to live to celebrate 100 years of age or more. The Governor admires the spirit, inspiration, and longevity represented by Arizona's Centenarians. They are an invaluable resource as well as our living link with history. To honor Centenarians, the Governor's Advisory Council on Aging maintains a registry of people 99 years old or older for the Governor's Office. Each month, Council staff submit the names of individuals celebrating their birthdays in that month. Centenarians then receive a birthday greeting from the Governor to recognize their continuing contribution to the State of Arizona. If you know of someone who is 99 years of age or older, please send the following information to the Governor's Advisory Council on Aging: First Name: Last Name: Date of Birth: Facility Name (If applicable): Address: City, State, Zip: Telephone: E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Fax: (602) 542-4774 Address: GACA/Centenarian Program, 1789 W.

Where to Turn for Help
Are you wondering where to find your local senior center? Need help getting to a doctor appointment? Have a question about your rights when renting an apartment?
Answers to these questions and many more are provided every day by the by Arizona's eight Area Agencies on Aging and the State Office on Aging. In fact, one of the most important things that the aging network does is to connect seniors with local community resources and services.
Arizona State Office on Aging
The Department of Economic Security's (DES) Aging and Adult Administration serves as Arizona's state office on aging, and is responsible for managing state and federal funding for senior services, and for ensuring that local agencies provide services that older Arizonans need. Services funded through the Administration support Arizonans' ability to continue living with dignity and independence and to remain in their own homes and communities for as long as possible. When this is no longer possible, the Administration helps ensure that the rights of elders living in nursing homes and other facilities are upheld. The DES Aging and Adult Administration works closely with eight Area Agencies on Aging. These agencies develop comprehensive service delivery systems that most accurately reflect the needs of their local communities.

What is an Area Agency on Aging?
An Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is a public or nonprofit private agency or office designated by the State to carry out the federal Older Americans Act at the local level. Like its counterpart at the State level, an AAA serves both as an advocate for older adults and is a visible and trusted focal point in its service area. AAAs provide information, assistance, and services, and fosters the development of more comprehensive and coordinated service systems to serve older individuals.

Johann Tschopp put his best climbing skills on display again Tuesday, finishing 26th in the uphill time trial at the Giro d'Italia for the best result of the day for the BMC Racing Team.
Very Motivated
After Monday's rest day, the riders had to pass the 12.7-kilometer solo test from Belluno to Nevegal. Tschopp only conceded 1:59 to stage winner Alberto Contador (Saxobank-Sungard), who increased his overall lead. Tschopp remains 19th in GC. "It was very difficult, but I gave my maximum," he said. "I was focused and tried to lose as little time as possible," said the winner of a stage at the Giro last year. "There are more challenging days, I am extremely motivated."
In Memorium
The peloton is grieved today for Xavier Tondo. The Spaniard was killed in a tragic accident when he was trapped between a car and a garage door. The BMC Racing Team expresses its sencere condolences to his family and his Movistar team.

Fresh off a two stage wins and a runner-up finish overall at the Tour of Alberta, the BMC Racing Team will field a roster full of contenders for two one-day WorldTour races in Canada, Grands Prix Cyclistes Québec and Montréal.
'Opportunities For Any Situation'
Tour of Alberta stage winner Cadel Evans and overall runner-up Brent Bookwalter will be joined by three riders (Marcus Burghardt, Amaël Moinard and Steve Morabito) who helped the BMC Racing Team win the team classification at that race. Joining them is USA Pro Challenge winner Tejay van Garderen, Greg Van Avermaet – who was runner-up last year in Québec City – and Daniel Oss, who has runner-up finishes on stages of the Giro d'Italia, the Tour of Austria and the Tour de Wallonie. "We have a lot of guys going really well now," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Jackson Stewart said. "That means more opportunities for any situation that the race throws our way. It's nice to know that you have so many guys that can win out of the right situation." Friday's race in Québec City is 16 laps of a 12.6-kilometer circuit (201.6 km) while the race in Montréal on Sunday is 17 laps of a 12.1-km circuit (205.7 km). Van Garderen said he has been training hard in Aspen since winning the USA Pro Challenge last month. "I definitely feel motivated for the later part of the season," he said. "Sometimes it's hard to get motivated this late in the year so you just ride out the rest of the season. But this year, I've been taking it very seriously and staying on track."

Local residents have connections to Oklahoma
Dr. Jim Dunkin, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, was at a church meeting when he heard about the devastating tornado that touched down in Moore, Okla. He grew up in the Sooner state, but his sister still lives there.
Dunkin tried twice to call his sister, Debbie Smith, who lives in Oklahoma City, and reached her on the second attempt. Smith, an attorney and former prosecutor, has an office in Moore. She was not at her office when the tornado struck, but watched from her home.
Dunkin said his wife, Leslie, sent him a text about the storm and up until that point he had not heard about the destruction. Dunkin immediately called Smith, his younger sister, who told him she was fine.
Growing up in Oklahoma the family was used to storms and in fact "tornadoes are a way of life," Dunkin said.
Dunkin said the people of Oklahoma have shown how they band together and help their neighbors.
Smith said her practice in Moore was not devastated by the storms, but for a time she didn't know whether her law partner was safe. Even on Tuesday afternoon, Smith had still not spoken with her partner, but did receive a message that she was fine.
"It's a total disaster. I was living here when we had the bombing. It really reminds me of that," she said by phone. More than 100 people were killed in 1995 bombing following a domestic terrorist attack in Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma officials have lowered the death toll from Monday's storm to closer to 24, lower than the initial 51 that was reported shortly after the storm struck.
A similarly destructive tornado struck Oklahoma in 1999, killing 40 people.
Smith said a relative of her daughter-in-law's extended family was killed during the storm and that family member's child was hospitalized with critical injuries.
She also has a friend who was in the impacted area, but who is fine although they've not been able to speak by phone.
Smith said neighbors are helping neighbors with supplies such as bottled water, diapers and other needed items.
The saddest part about watching all of the news coverage, Smith said, has been seeing the schools leveled by the storms. Smith is a former school teacher.
"They were showing the schools that were hit and you just knew it was bad," she said.
Smith, who has lived in Oklahoma for 43 years, said people "always think it's not going to hit, but this one is very sobering."
She asked for everyone's prayers for those impacted by the devastation.
'Tough, stubborn people'
Isaac Doyal of Salisbury, was also concerned for relatives still in Oklahoma. Doyal, an Oklahoma native, remembers storms there growing up.
"We are kind of accustomed to this," he said. But Doyal never expected the same such devastating storm to hit the same areas that were struck in 1999.
His aunt, Sue Lokey, and her husband, Wade, and their adult son, Jason, were "in the middle of ground zero," Doyal said.
He said they are all fine, but he was worried when he couldn't reach them right away. He sent his relatives a message via social networking site Facebook and received word four or five hours later they were safe.
"They were at home, but the home wasn't destroyed," Doyal said.
He said his aunt and uncle lost power at their home, but were able to reply to him on Facebook via their cell.
"Everyone was trying to call everyone," he said.
He said right now his family has been helping other friends recover personal belongings and their pets.
A friend of the Lokeys got into a shower and the shower was the only thing left after the storm.
Doyal also remarked on the courage of Oklahomans.
"We are tough, stubborn people. They get out there to help and it doesn't matter if you know anybody," he said.
Community Chapter Executive Nancy Litton said no Rowan residents have been deployed from the Hanford Dole Chapter of the American Red Cross at this time to provide disaster relief. Litton said things will start to happen over the next couple of days.
There are volunteers who are prepared to go if called, but many of the Red Cross volunteers have come from areas closer to the event, she said.
But she said support at home provides volunteers with the ability to help during national events.
Providing support
There are two people who represent the Carolina Piedmont Region, of which Rowan County is part of, who will be deployed to serve in Oklahoma.
Regional Communications Director Jennifer Franklin said Cabarrus County resident Harry Gedney and Stanly County resident Jerry Frappier will be deployed to the Oklahoma area.
The Red Cross has supplies stockpiled in case of disaster, so they are not collecting tangible donations at this time. However, the Red Cross is looking for monetary donations, which will help with relief and rebuilding efforts, as well as replenishing depleted supplies.
Litton said the Red Cross is still collecting donations for rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Sandy that struck much of the eastern United States in October 2012. She said the Red Cross will continue to collect funds until all of the needs are filled.
While the Red Cross is still collecting donations for other relief efforts, if anyone would like to donate specifically to the Oklahoma project, send a check to 1930 W. Jake Alexander Blvd., Salisbury, NC 28147 with "Oklahoma" written on the memo line. Donations can also be made online at www.redcross.org, by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS, or texting "Red Cross" to 90999, which will create a $10 donation. The money is incorporated into the customer's wireless cell phone bill.
Anyone who'd like to volunteer must complete an application and online registration for training via the Red Cross website.
Local business, Team Chevrolet, is also offering its help to victims impacted by the tornado with a donation drive. The car dealership will sell $1 raffle tickets now through May 29 and the proceeds will be given for the Salvation Army of Rowan County's Oklahoma Tornado Relief.

Keith's aged so much. Once, if I felt ageing, I could look at Keith and steal some of his youth.

My daughter, Amy, was fitted with a new pair of glasses a few months back, but sadly, she lost them. A plan to replace them was concocted, and it was decided that she would make money by recycling bottles and cans toward a new pair. It has been quite a process, as you can imagine. She watches out vigilantly and collects bottles and cans wherever she goes. She brings them back home and sorts them out in our garage and is eagerly looking forward to redeeming them for cash when the bins are full.
I, too, have joined her in her efforts. Every morning when I walk, I pick up cans and bottles that have been carelessly tossed on the ground. Many of these cans have been crushed, some have been driven over and some have contents still left in them. This past week, I picked up two cans that had been used as spittoons. It was not pretty, but they were still worth 5 cents. This has become our little project, and has awakened us to the value of things that others discard. The old adage rings true for us: "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
This is the way Jesus sees us; we, too, have redemptive value. Nobody is judged as worthless to God — no one is trash. God created all things and is actively working to recreate the hearts and minds of those who have been molested by sin. He is the author and the editor of life; he rewrites the dark chapters, and the finish is always strong. He is the redeemer, renovator and recreator of the hearts of all people who respond to him.
Originally, God created humans as perfect, holy and righteous. He set Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They fell into the way of self and sin, but even in this, he created a rescue plan by sending his son, Jesus Christ to die for our sins. Why? Because everyone is precious and is valuable to the Lord. You are worth a son to God — you are redeemable.
"…He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." — Philippians 1:6

Just got back from an overnight to Hermit Lake. I witnessed both avalanches and luckily did not have to use my probe. Lots to discuss once I get settled in and debriefed on the current storm.

I arrived at Pinkham Friday afternoon to a very wintry scene. Snow showers in the area but the Pinkham Window was in full effect. After a long debate I decided to leave my skis in the car. With the avalanche conditions skiing options up high looked limited so I just hiked up to enjoy the atmosphere.
I was the second person up the trail at 7am. Excellent coverage with just a few rocks showing along Tuckerman Ravine Trail. I arrived at Hermit Lake at 830am and unloaded my camping gear in one of the lean-tos. By the time I got back to the cabin the latest avalanche update was posted and the rangers were already standing guard. They were pretty much asking everyone what their plan was to discourage people travelling into dangerous terrain.
Around 10am I made my way up to the Connection Cache just below the floor of the ravine. The wind was fairly constant at this point and visibility in the bowl was limited. I walked another 100 yards into the floor of the ravine. No surprises up there, avalanche debris covered the entire floor so I didn't linger too long.
I made my way back to HoJo's to enjoying the improving weather and to watch the skiers making their way across the Lower Snowfield and Hillmans. By noon the wind was winding down and the clouds were dissapating.
Just after 1230 there was quite a bit of commotion and the radios became very active. Two men came out of the woods and said they just saw a slide carry somebody a long distance down the Lower Snowfield. The rangers and volunteer ski patrol quickly made their way to the debris area while everyone on the deck watched the operation.
Meanwhile skiers continued higher up Hillmans, most likely they had no idea there was a slide just a few yards away.
While everyone was watching the first slide area there was another round of commotion. I don't remember hearing anything, but many people described a loud noise. By the time I focused my eyes in the right direction I saw a huge mass of powder surging down the lower part of Hillmans highway.
With so many people in the area I was thinking a major mountaineering disaster was unfolding. I also knew the rangers and ski patrol would be stretched thin so I joined the volunteer party and made my way to the avalanche site.
We were held back so Cutler could work the scene for any victims. They didn't want us to contaminate the area with too many scents. Based on interviews with the skiers in the area the rangers decided that there were no victims. Just in case they did a beacon and Recco search. There was still quite a bit unstable of snow above the area so a probe line was not conducted.
And that was it. It was exciting and fairly haunting. I hope the 150 or so people that saw the slide learned a valuable lesson about Mount Washington. Mainly, they really do have avalanches and they happen on nice sunny days.
Spent the night in a lean-to and hiked out early Sunday morning.
Awesome stuff Bill! Thanks for posting. I too hope it serves for warning, not just to the people who were there, but also to anyone who may be pondering a trip in there and happens to see this post.
Mount Washington:http://ghostflowers.com/nhscenics/mountwashington.html
I'll be wearing my beacon the next time I venture to the White Mountains and there is any possibility of an avalanche.
Beautiful pictures. Thanks for the story. I hope folks think hard before heading out into dangerous conditions. Not only do they put themselves in danger but also the rescuers and volunteers trying to help them out of a situation that could have been avoided. Thanks again!
Beautiful pics!!!

I too was on Washington on the 14th. Based on your mini report I was well above tree line & did not witness the avi first hand. However, on our descent I did see lots of avi debris on the floor of Tucks from the Lions Head trail. Saturday was an amazing day weather wise. The sky would open up & the views were amazing!
I have more images of the summit as it looked on Saturday the 14th at this link....

ACC Tournament: Wood leads N.C. State into semifinal
GREENSBORO — Scott Wood has made a living outside the 3-point arc and its now gotten him inside the N.C. State record book.
A hot streak to start the second half for Wood gave State the separation it needed in a 75-56 win against Virginia in the quarterfinal round of the ACC Tournament Friday.
Wood hit a season-high seven 3-pointers to give him 326 for his career and pass Rodney Monroe as the school's record-holder. The senior had hit 28 of 52 3-pointers in Greensboro Coliseum for his career, a 53.8 percent clip. He finished with 23 points.
"When Wood gets it going they become so dangerous," Virginia coach Tony Bennett said. "I think they're the most offensively talented team in our league with the five on the floor at most times."
State (24-9), trying to shed its regular season reputation of inconsistency, is having another late-season rebirth with the trio of Richard Howell, Lorenzo Brown and C.J. Leslie thriving along with Wood. Howell was at the forefront of the inside game, with a team-high 12 rebounds and helping State outrebound UVA 39-28. Leslie lived up to his billing as the conference's preseason player of the year with 17 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks.
"N.C. State certainly used their athleticism," Bennett said. "They used their toughness and got a lot of offensive rebounds. They got some transition buckets and we didn't play very well so that's the result against a talented team like that."
The Wolfpack moves on to the semifinal where it will face Miami, who beat State on a Reggie Johnson tip-in with one second left in Raleigh last month. Miami survived a gritty effort from Boston College in its quarterfinal game.
"I think our team is beginning to find that groove," State coach Mark Gottfried said. "I think we're gettin' in a good spot. It was a good team win for us and now we got to get ready to play a really good team tomorrow."
Wood passed Monroe early in the second half when he drained three 3's in a 1:23 span. All of Wood's shot attempts were 3's as he went 7 of 12.
"Any time I get a good look I'm going to take advantage of it," Wood said. "My teammates did a good job of setting screens and gave me a couple of good looks and once I started knocking them down it gave me confidence."
NCSU shot 45.8 percent for the game with UVA hitting 38.9 percent from the floor.
State made the Tournament semifinals by beating UVA for the second straight year. The Cavs started out 5 of 17 from the field shooting and Wood gave State a 22-12 edge on a trey with six minutes left in the first half. Wood drilled another one on a fast break led by Tyler Lewis. A T.J. Warren jumper put State up 30-21 at halftime.
Woood would get 17 of his 23 in the second half, where the Wolfpack pulled away. He scored nine straight as State went up 41-23. Leslie added a 3-point play to bring the large State fanbase to its feet.
"We know we have a bunch of people who can score," Wood said. "Anytime we're in our stance and guarding the way we're capable of, we know we can be a dangerous team."
A day after the Wolfpack contained Virgnia Tech's Erick Green, it kept All-ACC Player Joe Harris from going off. Harris made just 2 of 9 three-point attempts and was 4 of 13 from the field in a 13-point effort. Akil Mitchell led UVA (21-11) with 19 points.
Lorenzo Brown followed a superb effort against Virginia Tech with nine points, six assists and five boards. Virginia beat State in January in Charlottesville when the Wolfpack lost Brown, the league leader in assists, to an ankle injury. Brown needs 26 more assists to crack the ACC's all-time top 25 list.
"We had a stretch where Lorenzo was hurt and missed some games," Gottfried said. "A couple of games he wasn't even 75 percent. Now I think he's much healthier and that's helping us."

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Polk Audio RC65i by Barry Montgomery Polk's RC65i in-wall speaker lets you bring incredible Polk sound to any room in your house. Pairing a 3/4" soft dome Dynamic Balance tweeter with a 6-1/2" Dynamic Balance woofer, the RC65i delivers powerful sound throughout the listening area, not just in a tiny "sweet spot." The swivel-mounted tweeters let you direct the high frequencies to fine-tune the best possible sound for your favorite listening positions. And Polk's Infinite Baffle Tuning takes advantage of the virtual enclosure of in-wall space for superior bass response. The RC65i is voice-matched to other Polk speakers, so you can use a pair as your surround speakers in a home theater system that includes more traditional freestanding speakers for the front channels. The rotating-cam design makes installation easy — once you've prepared the opening in your drywall and run UL-rated wiring from your receiver, you can secure this flush-mount speaker with a few turns of a screwdriver. And you can paint the white matte grilles to match any decor. An optional in-wall bracket is recommended for installing the RC65i in a home with new construction. Got wire?

Features Mounting Options Specifications Features Dynamic Balance Technology: Dynamic Balance drivers are used for wide, smooth response and low distortion. Woofers: Each speaker features a 6-1/2" Dynamic Balance, mineral-filled polypropylene woofer for clean midrange and deep, accurate bass. For a smoother response and improved durability, each woofer uses a rubber surround. Tweeters: Each speaker uses a 3/4" Dynamic Balance, metalized soft dome tweeter in a ball-and-socket swivel mount. The aimable tweeters give you direct high-frequency control, resulting in excellent imaging even for off-axis listening positions. Infinite Baffle Tuning: Infinite Baffle Tuning uses the virtual enclosure of in-wall space for superior bass response. Moisture-resistant: Durable, moisture-resistant materials allow you to install the speakers in bathrooms, kitchens, saunas, even under outdoor eaves. Mounting Options Installation: Each speaker requires a cutout 7.3125" wide and 10.75" high with a mounting depth of 2.407". Once the holes are cut, each speaker can be dropped in and the Rotating Cams can be tightened, allowing you to secure each speaker to the drywall without any extra assembly. If you will not be mounting these speakers in drywall, make sure the wall or ceiling material can safely support the weight of the speakers before installation; each speaker weighs approximately 3.75 pounds. Paintable: The grille and flange can be painted, allowing these speakers to match any decor.

The Polk RC65i wall speaker performs admirably--excellent, full sound. Arguably one of the best buys available. Pros: Sound is great; wall installation is a breeze. Well engineered. Cons: None. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Quality Product and Instructions Written By RoyW, San Diego, CA on Monday, February 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Absolutely no complaints from order to installation to tech support phone call. Shipping time was 2 days. The template and instructions for cutting the holes was right on. The screw-in clips to lock the speaker in the wall is well designed and simple to install. Phone call to ask about using insulation behind the speakers to improve sound was answered in a couple of rings. The tech support rep was knowledgeable and helpful. Best of all, the sound is better than I expected. Pros: The price (no shipping charge for ground) was highly competitive. Cons: No negatives at all from start to finish. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Easy to install, sound fantastic Written By ChucktownSC, Charleston, SC on Thursday, January 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Decided to replace my front speakers and go with an in-wall option for a cleaner look. These arrived in just a couple of days after ordering and only took about 45 minutes to an hour to install. I have a small living room, 12x14, and these sound fantastic with the output from my little Onkyo TX-NR414. The included template for cutting the holes made it very simple. I plan to purchase in-ceiling speakers next for the rear and will look at a Polk option when the time comes. Additional note: these made the wife extremely happy since she doesn't have to see or be bothered with wires and shelf speakers anymore. Pros: Great sound and quality for the price. Easy to install! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Very satisfied Written By DaveK., Jacksonville, OR on Thursday, January 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great value. Speakers are high quality, well put together, easy to install, and sound great. Pros: Fast delivery, good quality, great price. Cons: I should have bought a second pair. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent!! Written By Gary, Gold Canyon, Az. on Tuesday, December 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Polk speakers consistently give the best bang for the buck and these speakers are true to form!! Pros: Great consistent full sound with excellent directional tweeter. Cons: none. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Sweet speakers Written By Mike V., San Antonio, TX on Thursday, May 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Really great speakers! I use them as my front surround speakers and they are wonderful. I use a Sony A/V reciever to power them. A little nervous first cutting into the drywall, but template was spot on. Just make sure you have everything level and away from the studs before you start cutting!. Pros: Easy install, great sound. Very pleased. I like the ability to adjust the tweeters. Cons: Difficult to paint the grille. I ended up just painting the frame of the speaker grille to match the wall color--it looks fine. You really have to thin down the paint a LOT to keep it from clogging the grille holes--couldn't get it to work. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Polk RC 65i Written By Tony 7.1, San Antonio Texas on Monday, December 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome Speakers especially for the price! I bought this along with the RC 55, 85, and 265RT Center Channel Speaker in wall speakers for my 7.1 system and it sounds amazing! I really did some shopping around and could not see myself spending hundreds of dollars per front, back and side speakers. So I went with the Polk speakers and I couldn't be happier. My suggestion however would be to get a great receiver to get the maximum sound you are looking for. I lucked out as i have a friend who upgraded to an 11.2 system and sold me his $1500 Pioneer receiver for $400! God is Good and my system sounds Great! The installation was easy as i had my room pre-wired for a 7.1 system so all i had to do was cut out the holes in the walls and install. Once installed I painted the grill as the instructions said with spray paint and my Theater Room looks amazing! I'm not one to pay somebody to do what I can do myself and I'm no professional but the installation was a breeze and my room looks professional grade! Also, they sent me the Polk PSW111 for free with my purchase and OMG! My room is booming! Thanks Crutchfield! My wife told me to upgrade to 7.1 and I'm so glad she did! I'm one Happy Customer! Pros: very easy to install Cons: none so far Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent value Written By PatC, Aiken, SC on Sunday, December 02, 2012 Bought these to be L/R front speakers in my family room. A Denon 1921 receiver drives the home theater system. I'm a movie fan but I also love country rock and classic rock. I have been impressed with the ability of these speakers to deliver distortion-free sound. A Crutchfield rep helped me together the whole system. I could not be happier. They were a cakewalk to install. In my experience, it has been very rare to find electronic components that live up to the hype. These speakers EXCEEDED my expectation. Even at 80% volume (about 76 watts) there is no distortion, just clean sound up and down the spectrum. Now, I do have a subwoofer which balances out the low frequencies. I would recommend these to anyone for a home theater. Pros: Clean clear sound up to 76 watts/channel. Easy to install. Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good product for the price Written By GW, Ashburn, VA on Friday, August 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) All in all a very good product. Installation was easy. Bass is fairly weak when compared to higher quality speakers but for the price a very good in-wall option. Pros: Easy installation Good look Price Cons: Sound quality just OK 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Very solid sound; great price Written By John S., Atlanta, GA on Saturday, July 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was suspect that these speakers couldn't drive solid sound, but I was wrong. Very clear, slightly deep sound reverberates from them. Very easy install. You do NOT have to be a drywall specialist to put them in. Pros: Great price, good sound, easy install. Cons: None. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 great surrounds Written By ncred02, raleigh nc on Sunday, March 25, 2012 My install was a breeze since i was replacing existing in-walls. had to cut the opening a bit larger,but these would be easy installs either way. I really didn't think a change in surrounds would make such an improvement. Mind you i was coming from some cheap RS 5.25 round two ways. These are a great compliment with my L,C,Rs. Great quality and sound for the price. Very happy and would def recommend. Cant believe what I have been missing back there. Even my ' all speakers are the same' wife noticed the change,no lie. I would recommend insulation in the wall cavity around them . Pros: sound, very good for cost, typical polk value Cons: none 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great for the Money. be aware of mounting Written By Janos, Midlothian, VA on Friday, January 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sounds great for the money. be aware that the mounting tabs only rotate to the sides and not to the top. I discovered a bonus extra stud in the wall where one did not belong and i ended up right next to it. it would have been very handy if the tabs could have positioned up and down and not just to the side. a large paddle bit and some boring-out later... i was back in business with horizontal-only mounts. also, the mounting tabs and tab guide sleeves are plastic-only and not incredibly durable through multiple mountings. while the above sounds negative, i still completely recommend these. they sound great, the other side which did not have any surprise obstructions mounted quickly and flawlessly and they are painted to blend in to the wall color which is a big win with my wife. Pros: great sound, decent build, paintable bezel and screen looks great. Cons: more flexible and durable mounting options would be appreciated 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awsome sounding ! Written By Lew B, utica ny on Sunday, January 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought a pair of these years ago and loved them so much that when I went from 5.1 to 7.1 they were the logical choice ! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Speakers Written By Dixie Paul, MS on Sunday, June 05, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had these in my media room for just over a year. These speakers are going strong and they sound fantastic. For the cost, these speakers can not be beat. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good speakers and great service from Crutchfield Written By Dan, Minneapolis, MN on Tuesday, March 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought Polk Audio RC65i speakers to replace old in -ceiling BIC America ones. Installation took 20 minutes (very simple). The quality of the sound is what I expected (good). Together with my Outlaw LFM-1 Compact subwoofer and Onkyo TX8555 receiver I have a very good 2.1 stereo system. The speakers are good quality and great value. I did not want to go with larger and more expensive speakers because I wanted to use existing ceiling cuts from the old speakers. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Well made speakers Written By Jack, Northern California on Friday, February 11, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Well made. high quality. Good design for easy installation. I am using them for TV speakers in stereo with a 5.1 receiver. High and mid tone is very nice. Fills the room. Needs a sub woofer if you want the best sound. Does not have the bass performance of a book shelf speaker. Worth the money. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Polk Audio RC65i Written By A. Holland, Nashville, TN on Monday, February 07, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers. Very good sound. Can't beat the price. However, if used as surround backs, take a bit of adjusting to get a good sound. But, overall Very good. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 GREAT Speakers!

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Polk Audio RC65i Written By Cdminter55, Hopewell, Va on Saturday, August 28, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these Polk 107RC65I in-wall speakers for the rear surround sound for my Yamaha receiver. These speakers sound great. I also like the easy way they install in the wall. There is no messy wires strung along the walls they are in the walls. I would recommend these speakers to anyone that need speakers. I also purchased the Polk 107CSR center channel speaker a day later and replaced my floor speakers with Polk R150 bookshelf speakers. Thanks Crutchfields for having a good line of products for a reasonable price. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 best in price range Written By michael A., fort worth tx. on Sunday, August 22, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is the second set I have purchased from Crutchfield. to replace existing in-wall speakers. As with the first set, the difference between those I replaced and these is phenomenal - no contest. The sound is fantastic. These are the best speakers you will find for under $200.00 I am very satisfied. . Moreover, Crutchfield's service and follow-up distinguishes them among their competition. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Perfect Written By jcp, Livermore, CA on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A great set of in wall speakers for the price. We have a smallish living room but these do an excellent job of filing the space nicely with good sound. I do not notice the bass deficit others mention but we have a powered sub so...The installation was simple enough but I would have appreciated a hardi-back template that I could level. Really, quite nice. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Speakers! Written By Jonathan, Milford, CT on Friday, August 01, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased the RC-85 as my front speakers and the RC-65 as the rear surround. Very happy with the sound quality and performance. They sound great for being a small speaker. Were a breeze to install. If you like a lot of bass, pair them up with a good sub...but this should be obvious given their size and purpose. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 I couldn't be happier with these speakers! Written By John, Chicago, Illinois on Friday, July 21, 2006 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these speakers a few weeks ago and just finished installing them in my wall. After putting a little Nick Warren in the CD player, I can honestly say that the sound is crisp, the highs are clear, and the lows are tight at any volume! These speakers are absolutely sick! I love them, and I'm certain that my neighbors are going to hate me!!!Installation Tip: You have to pack some R25 or similar insulation around these speakers inside the wall. This dramatically improves the sound quality of any in-wall speaker, especially these. 17 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Going to purchase again Written By Mark, Green Bay, WI on Wednesday, April 12, 2006 I purchased these as surrounds paired with Polk 85i for my home theater. They have worked beyond my initial expectations. They work wonderful. I am currently selling my home and during the open houses everyone has been impressed with the quality of the home theater.I am so impressed that I am going to purchase them again from crutchfield for my new home theater.Thanks Crutchfield/Polk. 5 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Easy Install-Average Performance Written By Andy, Freeport, Illinois on Tuesday, April 26, 2005 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Right out of the box and into the wall, these speakers are a fairly easy install. Traced the supplied template, cut the hole, fished the cable, hooked up the speakers and into the wall they went!!! No kit required!!! Instructions for install recommend cutting inside of the lines for the cut out, this did result in the need to hone the edges to get the speakers in the wall. The speakers do sound decent---I would recommend insulation above and below the speaker for interior walls(most ext. walls will have insulation) for better base response. 20 out of 20 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great Surround Speakers Written By John, Timonium, MD on Wednesday, February 09, 2005 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered 2 pairs for my surround speakers in my 7.1 set up. I was impressed in how user friendly the speakers were. I installed them myself and installation was a breeze. The speakers include a template and detailed instructions. I literally traced the template, cut the dry wall, packed the cavity with some insulation, and dropped the speakers in, 1-2-3. The midrange and treble sound great. I will say low bass response is pretty weak but that is typical from an in-wall speaker. Besides, these are only my surrounds so my Polk sub and front tower speakers provide low bass. Not only do they sound great, but they give your room a clean, uncluttered look most bulky surround speakers don't offer. 121 out of 130 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 questions already asked My television is in the corner of the room, would it be acceptable to mount these speakers on each adjacent wall for front L-R speakers or should I use a externally mounted speaker so I can position it at 45deg facing the couch? [ Toth Jun 13, 2014 ] 1 answer I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: You can do either. The RC65i's come with a tweeter that can swivel. You can aim the tweeter towards the direction of your couch. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. [ Krissy Staff Jun 14, 2014 ] I see you have a separate section for ceiling mounted speakers. Can these not be ceiling mounted? [ Pete Aversa Dec 29, 2013 ] 6 answers Yes, they can be mounted in the ceiling. The round one are labeled as ceiling mount because they will blend in with round recessed lighting. Same speakers the round ones have the tweeter in the middle and these have the tweeter separate. [ TODD Jan 02, 2014 ] I do have them celling mounted and they sound fantastic... Both round and rectangular can mount in ceiling perfectly [ VINCENT J Dec 30, 2013 ] I have used these with great success as ceiling mounted speakers. The directional tweeters are a plus. Hope this helps. [ MICHAEL Dec 30, 2013 ] yes I use them in my ceiling [ MICHAEL Dec 30, 2013 ] These speaker can be ceiling mounted. Circular speakers are typically used in ceilings because lights and other ceiling mounted things such as smoke detectors and sprinklers ect. are round therefore the idea is that round speakers disappear more than rectangular ones. [ JEREMY Dec 30, 2013 ] I used these as ceiling speakers- 8" in front and 6" in back with center and sub. Sounds very good. [ JAMES N Dec 30, 2013 ] Want to know if there is a post construction bracket or mountingg technique? [ Steve Dec 04, 2013 ] 9 answers Steve, I installed brackets in my walls prior to sheetrock in a new construction home. Having just installed the speakers into the walls yesterday with the brackets in place, I'm not sure they are absolutely necessary although they would prevent the mounting latches from digging into the back of the sheetrock. Depending on your mounting location, you might be able to slip the brackets through the holes you cut in your wall, and secure them from behind with adhesive or sheetrock screws driven through the sheetrock and into the plastic of the brackets. Hope this helps! [ GABRIEL F Dec 14, 2013 ] Yes. You use a template to cut a hole in the drywall. The speakers have tabs that fold out as the screws are tightened to secure them to the drywall like an old work electrical box. [ GREGORY C Dec 06, 2013 ] I mounted my speakers on sheet rock. Each speaker has four tabs. They are located on each corner. As you tighten the screw which is attached to the tab, it swings the tab out and as you keep tightening the screw the tab gets closer to the sheetrock until it secures it in place. [ KENNETH J Dec 05, 2013 ] Not sure what you mean about 'post construction'. Meaning putting these into an existing wall? The whole speaker fits into the wall and is held in place by four screw clamps that come attached to the speaker housing. Very easy to put in, takes less than a couple minutes. The grill then gets snapped back into place. If you mean a house that is post and beam, where you would have to hang a speaker versus mounting in a wall, then these are not for you. They are in wall only. [ PETER Dec 05, 2013 ] No there is no bracket the speakera self mount. I just ran wires before sheet rock and marked with electric boxes where I wanted the speaker wire to be and mounted the speakers at the end of home construction [ NATHAN Dec 04, 2013 ] There is no bracket needed. There are 6 posts that rotate out to grip the wall board and hold the speaker in place. The only restriction is that you cannot mount the speaker too close to a stud or other obstruction. It is best to allow around an inch, though half an inch would still work. [ DAVID Dec 04, 2013 ] The brackets are pre-construction as they allow for the holes in the drywall to be cut exactly as needed during that phase. If all construction is done, the brackets are not really necessary as the speakers will clamp directly to the drywall. The brackets do give a little reinforcement and remove the guess work out where to cut a hole. Basically, there is no OEM solution for brackets when there is no access to the studs. [ MARK E Dec 04, 2013 ] there is no special bracket but you just cut the hole in the drywall using the template included with the speaker and when you place the speaker in the hole the 4 mounting screws have a special tab the rotates and grips the backside of the drywall. Works best if the speaker isn't against a stud but has drywall around the whole speaker. hope this helps [ LOREN Dec 04, 2013 ] No bracket. No mounting hardware. Nice, cardboard template. The speakers have 1" "flaps" that swing into place behind sheetrock to keep them in place.

STP will happen for me. I am in Maine now - back to NC this coming weekend. Then will be back in Maine for Memorial Day weekend - mid-June to get the docks in - 4th of July week - then STP. It would be nice to get one additional summit attempt in before STP. Then another climb in August or Labor Day weekend would really cap off a good summer. 2 climbs in a summer is good. 3 climbs is wonderful.

If you are always looking for the right size wrench at the bottom of the toolbag or box...this is the great solution. It is all organized and you can see it all and reach it quickly when you aren't sure eactly what size and it is CRAFTSMAN.

instead of two comb. wrenches it could have one adjustable wrench that would cover metric and all in between. it also needs at least one extention for the socket set to get to those hard to get to places. other than these it is the perfect travel/emergency tool set.
