The Joseph House Inn in Bishop is a truly luxuriouos B&B with amenities that even some of the best hotels can't come up with. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. But what really makes this place special is the huge property - a gorgeous garden with pond, abundant shade trees and loads of gorgeous flowers and shrubs. In fact, the place is so stunning that we spent the entire afternoon reading and relaxing in these peaceful surroundings. Breakfast on the pation was also magnificent, and we had a lovely time chatting with the owners, who do a fantastic job.
I can think of only one improvement - since there is so much space available in the pation area, it would be a real boon if the owners could install an ice maker for guests, so that one doesn't always have to bother Myriam.
Otherwise, we loved every minute at the Joseph House Inn and will certainly return if we are ever in the area again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Payprice Summary Chart: 2006 to 2013
Download a copy of our summary chart comparing payprice for Organic Valley and Horizon over time.Organic Milk, Pay, Retail and Feed Prices March 2016
Added March 28, 2016. Data published by the USDA AMS continues to show slight reduction in retail sales of organic non-fat fluid milk for November and December, 2015, and a small increase in sales of full fat and 2% fluid milk compared to 2014. The only Federal Milk Marketing Order to publish data on organic utilization is Order 1 (Northeast) and their data show that utilization of organic whole milk had increased by 20% to 13,659,363 lbs. in December, 2015 compared to 11,306,595 lbs. in December, 2014. Non-fat and Reduced Fat organic milk utilization only increased marginally by less than 1%. There is no tracking of the increasing sales of grass-fed milk, and now certified organic grass-fed milk, both retail and manufacturing. With Danone (Stonyfield brand) moving away from purchasing all of its supply from CROPP, it is expanding its direct purchasing of organic to include organic grass-fed, there is increasing competition for a limited pool of milk. Maple Hill Creamery, selling to Danone should assist with their balancing and allow them to continue their active solicitation of producers who can meet their standards. Producers are exercising their right to move their supply to other companies with the increase in competition across the Midwest and the Northeast. Those looking for an easier entry into a value added market are looking at the grass-fed market demand, whether it is an entry to organic or not. With the price of conventional milk projected to stay low because of the decrease in exports and without any grant based federal safety net, many small to mid-size dairy operations are looking at different options to stay in business.

NOFA Summer Conference UMass Amherst, Amherst, MA
It's a spring day on Jeff and Kathy Bragg's Rainbow Valley Farm; a quintessential late April day with a sparkling blue sky and temperatures hovering in the mid-60's. The patio wind chimes sing and birds chatter, oblivious to the hub of economy and industry that surrounds this peaceful abode. A CROPP producer, Rainbow Valley is one of the largest organic dairy farms in the state of Maine, milking roughly 160 cows, primarily Holstein and Jersey/Holstein crosses with some traces of Normande, and more recently German Fleckvieh. The average yearly production per cow hovers around 18,000 pounds. Certified organic in 2004 during the second major wave of transition to organic production, the Braggs manage nearly 1000 acres of open land. To read the complete article please go to:
Added May 24, 2016
On April 13, 2016, the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) published regulations concerning Animal Welfare with a Proposed Rule entitled Organic Livestock and Poultry Practices. The expectation of the organic livestock community was that this rule would concentrate on poultry, especially clarifying outdoor access and building on the Access to Pasture regulation of 2010 by implementing NOSB recommendations. Unfortunately, this is not what happened. Despite assurances from the NOP that the regulation should be viewed through the interpretations of the accompanying webinar (https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/organic-livestock-and-poultry-practices) the language within the Proposed Rule is what will become law. One of the reasons for the regulation is that both enforcement of existing regulation and NOP Guidance about interpretation of access to the outside for poultry has been ignored, allowing the porch-style poultry operation to double over the last five years. The difficulty of enforcing the access to the outside for poultry and the amount of market share and profit at stake was further emphasized as conventional and organic poultry producers joined together to override the USDA NOP process of comment on regulation through Congressional action. The National Organic Coalition and the Farmers Union, plus many organizations and individuals, worked together to stop a rider being attached to the appropriations bill in the House and Senate. See their letter >
We delayed the print publication of the May 2016 NODPA News in order to include an article on the Proposed Regulation to ensure that those organic dairies without internet connection would be able to read the rule and send in their comments. To read the article, please go to:
The Federation of Organic Dairy Farmers (FOOD Farmers) is developing comments to respond to the NOP to ensure that we have a Final Rule that we can live with. We hold regular conference calls and welcome anyone who wants to join the discussion. Until we hear about any extension we are under a tight time limitation to get our comments into the NOP by June 13th 2016, so please send us your comments as soon as possible. Comments can be sent to Ed Maltby at email@example.com , or faxed to 1-866-554-9483 or mailed to NODPA, 30 Keets Road, Deerfield, MA 01342.OTA updates its Organic
The Organic Trade Association (OTA) has sent an amended proposal for an organic checkoff to the USDA AMS, which published it on their website. They have made some technical edits based on USDA feedback, plus some changes based on the nine partial proposals developed by producer groups and their supporters. The OTA changed the definition of research based on feedback from NODPA and the National Farmers Union (NFU) and they made a change to how funds are allocated to ensure that agriculture research and producer education are a higher priority. OTA continue to propose a rather complicated system of nomination of the governing Board members to represent a region based on a non-existent database of organic operations with more than $250,000 in gross organic sales in the previous year. Plus they gave producers fewer seats on the Board, and producers make up only 6 out of the 16 members. Both the allocation of checkoff funds and the final appointment of Board members is the decision of a political appointee, the Secretary of Agriculture. We are all familiar with how those decisions are made in Washington DC.
In conversations with USDA AMS, the no-organic check-off coalition of producer groups has surmised that there is no timeline for when AMS might publish a full proposal on the Federal Register. USDA did say they will accept further comment and analysis of OTA's amended proposal which we will be supplying in the next few weeks. You have probably been bothered by "robo calls" about the organic checkoff. Producers who have tried to tell the caller that they want to register a no vote have not been allowed to. Producers who have questioned how the $250,000 figure of gross organic sales and the calculation of net organic income will be determined have been told it will be on the honor system of self-declaration. That makes it the first tax levied that is based on the honor system. You will also have received literature claiming that everyone will pay a little and that the majority of the checkoff tax will be paid by handlers/processors. Consumers, retailers, marketers, transportation companies and other service providers will pay nothing, and the system that producers know well, of trickle-down economics, will come into effect as processors pass any check-off costs on to producers with a lower pay price. Growth in organic sales is being fueled by cheap imports, some with questionable integrity, that are undermining the pay price of domestic producers. As we have said many times, if we need domestic organic production to increase we need to pay producers a fair and sustained price for their organic products.
Please save the date for the 16th Annual NODPA Field Days on Thursday and Friday, September 29th and 30th in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania where we will feature a farm tour of organic dairy farmer Cliff Hawbaker, who owns two farms in Franklin and Cumberland counties in Pennsylvania. We are excited to announce that our Keynote Speaker on Thursday evening will be John Kempf, Founder, Advancing Eco Agricul-ture. For more details please go to: Field Days Overview
"John Kempf, a young man from Northeast Ohio with an unlikely story, is driven by a mission to globally impact the food supply by providing farmers with a way to grow disease and insect resistant crops with complete plant nutrition.
John's story begins when he was a 14 year old boy growing up on a family farm, where his father gave him the responsibility of overseeing all the drip irrigation and foliar applications on the farm. John really enjoyed this work, and because he felt a strong connection to the plants, he could quickly feel the results that were being seen in the crops, and how plants were responding to the materials he was applying."

Recent Odairy Discussions
A farmer new to grazing asked how to group his herd of 45 cows with a service bull while outside and on pasture. Another producer was frustrated by two cows with recurrent mastitis. And there was a wide ranging discussion about the proposed animal welfare rule.
Added May 1, 2016
The Federation of Organic Dairy Farmers (FOOD Farmers) has requested an additional 30 days (to July 1, 2016) for comments on the Proposed Rule, National Organic Program, Organic Livestock and Poultry Practices. Many of the provisions are a surprise and require detailed evaluation and discussion with our members. Despite many comments submitted to the National Organic Standards Board in 2010 and 2011, this Proposed Rule has many provisions that make no sense to organic livestock farms and in fact are different from NOSB recommendations from 2011. FOOD Farmers have formed a committee to work on comments to this rule but we need more time as this is a very busy time of year for livestock producers. To download a copy of the request letter: Request for extension
Read the attached creative and tongue in cheek letter from George Wright, an organic dairy producer of long standing, who has suffered the frustration of working within the organic standards to make a living for his family and employees. He was one of those that labored to supply sensible comment and reflection back in 2010 and 2011 thinking that it would be listened to and taken to heart. He is also a producer that has always been willing to travel to advocate for other producers and for the integrity of the organic seal. Please read the full letter with an open mind: Dear NOP ...
"In the last few years, while working on writing a book, I've had the opportunity to visit many successful organic dairy farms and learn more about how farmers in different climates have successfully designed and managed their pastures. I visited farms providing all or most of the herds dry matter from pasture during the grazing season, as well as farms on more limited land bases where grazing only provides 40 to 50% of the herd's intake needs. Some used only perennial plants, while others used innovative mixtures of both annuals and perennials. The successful grazing systems were each unique and creatively designed to meet the farm and farm family goals." To read the complete article by Sarah Flack, please go to:
There was a good discussion on the use of hydrated lime on organic farms. It is generally regarded as a prohibited substance; some certifiers will not allow its use for any purpose, but one producer pointed out that the NOP regulations specifically allow hydrated lime as an external pest control. It specifically disallows its use to "cauterize physical alterations or deodorize animal wastes". Other uses are not discussed in the standards. One producer wanted to use hydrated lime in bedded pack pens at clean out to sanitize the pen before clean bedding and new animals were introduced. The farmer said his certifier would not allow it, and others on the list suggested that this was a misinterpretation of the rule. A consultant suggested that very clear and precise communication is needed with the certifier in these situations, especially where a substance may be allowed for one type of use, but prohibited in another. A crop farmer added that hydrated lime is very caustic and chemically reactive if applied to soil, certainly the reason why it is not allowed as a fertilizer. But he feels that it is an important product for barn sanitation, and after reacting with water and organic matter (from manure and wet surfaces), it goes through a chemical change bringing its pH to near neutral by the time it is spread onto the fields with the manure.

Letter to the Editor
"I recently received the current paper edition of NODPA News [January, 2016] and read with interest the article about the young couple focused on building a life for themselves on the dairy farm in the NE Kingdom. At 64 years old, I have learned that it is human nature to complain, and that farmers are not immune from this."

The gentlest thing in the world overcomes the hardest thing in the world. That which has no substance enters where there is no space. This shows the value of non-action. Teaching without words, performing without actions: that is the Master's way.
Lao Tzu (c.604 - 531 B.C.)
Source: Tao Te Ching
Contributed by: Gaia Team
Fame or integrity: which is more important? Money or happiness: which is more valuable? Success of failure: which is more destructive? If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
True perfection seems imperfect, yet it is perfectly itself. True fullness seems empty, yet it is fully present. True straightness seems crooked. True wisdom seems foolish. True art seems artless. The Master allows things to happen. She shapes events as they come. She steps out of the way and lets the Tao speak for itself.
When a country is in harmony with the Tao, the factories make trucks and tractors. When a country goes counter to the Tao, warheads are stockpiled outside the cities. There is no greater illusion than fear, no greater wrong than preparing to defend yourself, no greater misfortune than having an enemy. Whoever can see through all fear will always be safe.
Without opening your door, you can open your heart to the world. Without looking out your window, you can see the essence of the Tao. The more you know, the less you understand. The Master arrives without leaving, sees the light without looking, achieves without doing a thing.
The Master doesn't try to be powerful; thus he is truly powerful. The ordinary man keeps reaching for power; thus he never has enough. The Master does nothing, yet he leaves nothing undone. The ordinary man is always doing things, yet many more are left to be done. The kind man does something, yet something remains undone. The just man does something, and leaves many things to be done. The moral man does something, and when no one responds he rolls up his sleeves and uses force. When the Tao is lost, there is goodness. When goodness is lost, there is morality. When morality is lost, there is ritual. Ritual is the husk of true faith, the beginning of chaos. Therefore the Master concerns himself with the depths and not the surface, with the fruit and not the flower. He has no will of his own. He dwells in reality, and lets all illusions go.
In harmony with the Tao, the sky is clear and spacious, the earth is solid and full, all creature flourish together, content with the way they are, endlessly repeating themselves, endlessly renewed. When man interferes with the Tao, the sky becomes filthy, the earth becomes depleted, the equilibrium crumbles, creatures become extinct. The Master views the parts with compassion, because he understands the whole. His constant practice is humility. He doesn't glitter like a jewel but lets himself be shaped by the Tao, as rugged and common as stone.
Do you want to improve the world? I don't think it can be done. The world is sacred. It can't be improved. If you tamper with it, you'll ruin it. If you treat it like an object, you'll lose it. There is a time for being ahead, a time for being behind; a time for being in motion, a time for being at rest; a time for being vigorous, a time for being exhausted; a time for being safe, a time for being in danger. The Master sees things as they are, without trying to control them. She lets them go their own way, and resides at the center of the circle.
Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men doesn't try to force issues or defeat enemies by force of arms. For every force there is a counterforce. Violence, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself. The Master does his job and then stops. He understands that the universe is forever out of control, and that trying to dominate events goes against the current of the Tao. Because he believes in himself, he doesn't try to convince others. Because he is content with himself, he doesn't need others' approval. Because he accepts himself, the whole world accepts him.
Weapons are the tools of violence; all decent men detest them. Weapons are the tools of fear; a decent man will avoid them except in the direst necessity and, if compelled, will use them only with the utmost restraint. Peace is his highest value. If the peace has been shattered, how can he be content? His enemies are not demons, but human beings like himself. He doesn't wish them personal harm. Nor does he rejoice in victory. How could he rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men? He enters a battle gravely, with sorrow and with great compassion, as if he were attending a funeral.

Five Things You Need to Know about Russian Women
In Russia, women outnumber men by a remarkable ratio. But they are intelligent and curious about other cultures, so many of them look outside of their home country for love. That is why so many of them have turned to the Internet to reach across borders and seas for romance. Theyare often willing to move to other countries like the United States when they meet someone. They need to come across the world to find a suitable match, but that's fine to an adventurous spirit. Americans, on their part, have found that cross-cultural relationships can lead to a beautiful spark.
People in the West have a long culture of poor eating and exercise habits. After a hard day at work, people will come home and sit back on the couch with a big bag of chips. They are just not concerned with their appearance. Russian women are different; they make every effort to stay fit. They don't just value physical appearance, they find it important to live healthy, active lifestyles. If you're not convinced, check out Hotrussianbrides.com to learn more about the cultural importance of a well-maintained body.
Russians think that family is important, and prioritize building families. It's no myth that they are fiercely loyal to their loved ones. Parenthood is one of the most valued responsibilities in their culture, and becoming a mother is considered a true blessing. You will find few cultures where family ties are held in such high regard, certainly not in the West. With an adventurous spirit, many women who use sites like Hot Russian Brides are eager to start their own budding families even in a new country.
Sometimes after a long of work, a drink or two is what you need to alleviate your stress. Drinking is a deeply ingrained part of Eastern European culture, and it's not considered "un-feminine" for women to enjoy a stiff drink just as much as a man. Vodka has a long history in Russia. Since the climate is so cold, they partake in vodka to keep warm.
Russians value education and they are sharply intelligent. If you're just looking for a pretty face, look elsewhere. Russian women do not believe that their beauty defines them. Their beauty may be part of who they are, but they have a personality and a mind. They're no strangers to politics, culture, literature, or languages, and you'll find a quick wit in your home. When you have friends over, her insights will leave them impressed and envious. A great hostess is no stranger to the finer parts of intellectual life, and you can find them on social websites like Hot Russian Brides.
Every culture has a signature cuisine, and you'll soon discover the culinary delights of Eastern Europe. On the shores of the Black Sea, caviar is an after school snack. You may soon find yourself digging into a piping hot kulebyaka, or tucking into a masterpiece of beef stroganoff. These ladies know how to prepare excellent meals for you every day. A Russian woman may just be the missing piece in your life.
Some Common Mistakes That People Often Do During Their Intercourse
Sex is the most pleasurable thing and when people are involved in sex or love making, they will definitely forget all their stress, tension and any other anxiety. There are many scientific evidences which clearly states that a healthy sex not only improves a person's body functions but also enhances the mental strength & peace. That's why a healthy sex has several advantages. But certain basis things need to be kept in mind when a person is doing sex and some precautions should be taken else this will lead to unwanted pregnancy and sometimes can cause sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The Wearing a condom while doing sex is the most important thing. But this is not the ultimate thing which helps to get rid from unintended pregnancies and STDs. The most important thing is that a person should use condom properly in order to prevent pregnancies and STDs. But still many people do some most common safe sex mistakes you may be making during their intercourse. Below we are depicting some points that people should remember while doing sex or love making.
Certain Things That A Person Needs To Remember While Using Condoms During Sex Are
- Use condom properly- While purchasing condoms, a person should carefully check the manufacturing & expiry date of the condoms. A person should put the condom when penis becomes fully erect so that condom can fit and stay during the entire intercourse. The condom should roll down easily, reaching the base of the penis. If anyone has put the condom in a wrong way, then please don't turn and re-use it. Always discard the previous one and go for the new one. Tip of the condom has some space in order to capture the sperm so always squeeze the tip while putting the condom on.
- Don't tear the condom with teeth or knife: Most of the people unwrap the condom from its packing by tearing or by using the scissors. Since condoms are made of very thin material, so using knife or teeth can break the layer and the condom will become useless.
- Wear the condom from start to finish- It is recommended that a person should use the condom throughout the entire intercourse time& not in the final position.
- Use proper lubricants- Some people use lubricants to enhance their sex time and pleasure. But a person should use proper lubricant else lubricants can cause condoms to tear. That's why water based or silicon based lubricants are more preferable than oil based.
- Once a person has finished the intercourse they should immediately take off the condoms slowly & carefully by their hands.
In order to enjoy healthy sex life and to prevent from unwanted pregnancies & STDs, a person should take some extra care while using condoms during intercourse.
The Man's Guide to Finding an Escort
You have probably heard about Abu Dhabi escorts but don't know where to start. One thing is for sure, you are not going to find an escort at a café or down the street. You need some tips on how to find an escort, and more importantly, how to ensure that you get the right company for your night out on the town.
Use a professional agency
The best piece of advice anyone can give you as far as finding an escort goes is to use a professional escort agency. They are basically the middle-man and have already vetted the women for you. With a good agency, you can be sure that the woman you meet is safe, enjoyable and great company. Research the company and read their reviews if available to ensure that you have the right company.
Do your research
Go to the agency website and have a good look at the profiles of the different girl. Choose a girl that appeals to you and read up on her information. Most of the questions you might have about her services and what she offers will be on this section of the website. Read any reviews that are available and make a decision on whether she is the right companion for you.
Prepare accordingly for the call
Once you have found the right agency, it is time to place the call. The most important thing to consider at this point is that the call is strictly for the purpose of arranging a meeting or booking an appointment. Avoid making lewd or obscene comments otherwise the escort or agency will not want to do business with you.
Get into the details
Get all the details that you need to ensure that you are not disappointed and that all your expectations are met. Find out about the date of the meeting, the venue, length of the date and time. You are more likely to get the woman you want if your schedule is open or flexible.
Give the information required
Many professional agencies do background checks on their clients for the safety of the girls. Not everyone who seeks escort services is legitimate so do not get offended if they ask questions. Refrain providing personal information if you feel that this information can be used against you in any kind of way. This is why it is extremely important that you deal with a reputable agency. Some of the questions that you may be required to answer include basic employment information and verification credentials.
Always deal with a trusted agency
This cannot be stressed enough. Ensure that the escort agency you are dealing with is reputable and above-board. There are a few reputable agencies that provide Bahrain escorts for visitors so make sure that you have the right contact for the best time. Meeting an escort for the first time can be nerve-wracking but it does not have to be. Simply follow these pointers, be polite and you are bound to have the time of your life.

DRS UK and Kent Periscopes to Upgrade Drivers Night Vision System
- On Armoured Reconnaissance Tracked Vehicles
DRS Technologies, Inc. a Finmeccanica Company announced that DRS Technologies UK Ltd (DRS) and their teaming partner Kent Periscopes Ltd (Kent) have been awarded a contract to enhance the drivers night vision system currently installed on the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) or CVR(T). Initial deliveries will commence in March 2012.
The enhanced system will utilize Kent Periscopes' Embedded Image Periscope (EIP). The EIP will replace existing rugged displays within the CVR(T) allowing digital images from a DRS thermal camera to be displayed internally within the periscope. The resulting image appears "embedded" internally within the unit and projected at a comfortable viewing position using biocular optics.
Global Aerostat Systems Market 2015-2019
The solution for the CVR(T) frees up considerable space around the driver, allowing easier ingress and egress to improve crew safety and enable the operator to view the thermal image in a more relaxed and natural manner.
In addition to the EIP, DRS will provide a new Driver's Vision Enhancer (DVE) controller which can be used to output the thermal image to a secondary display or into a vehicle video switching system which emulates all of the interfaces and controls of the existing DVE control interface. The new controller can also help improve Situational Awareness for the vehicle's occupants by displaying images from other connected IR/Thermal or Day Cameras located around the exterior of the vehicle.

Aurotto was first shown in cinemas along with the première of the new Pokemon movie. Fans have since drawn what it looks like, but the clip shows its true in-game form.

It's been 18 games and the Flyers are now 6-8-4 after a 3-2 shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.
After a 4-2-1 start, the fall down in the standings wasn't expected.
The easy person to blame in the coach – always has been, always will be. But this is in no way Dave Hakstol's fault. The first-year coach has no choice but to make due with what he has and try to find a way to be successful.

With the wild variety of scenarios that could play out in any season-ending hoops tournament, coaches are never at ease with their team making it out alive.
Homer coach Chad Felice can rest a little easier than most coaches, however. That's because his girls team has racked up so many wins this year, it's nearly impossible for the Mariners to miss out on the big dance.
The Kenai Central boys won the first half, but the Soldotna boys won the war Saturday afternoon at Soldotna High School.
SoHi rallied from a 13-point first-half deficit to capture Saturday's regular-season finale over Kenai 47-42 and the season series. SoHi beat Kenai 57-49 earlier in the season.
"We had a lethargic first half," admitted SoHi coach Mark Tuter. "But we got a couple baskets in the second half and Derek (Evans) got us going."
Tired, disheveled, a bit banged up, but with joyous expressions on their faces, the Ninilchik girls basketball squad celebrated Friday night like the old days.
After seeing Cook Inlet Academy and Nikolaevsk exchange the Peninsula Conference crown the past several years, the Wolverines were beginning to wonder if they would ever see it again. The senior class had taken loss after loss in their early years, and improved squads the last two seasons fell just short of state glory.
A year ago, the Seldovia boys brought their hometown its first state basketball championship after a rapid rise to the top of the Peninsula Conference hierarchy.
This year, the Ninilchik boys are trying to repeat the feat. This weekend was a great time to start.
The Wolverines held off a determined Seldovia squad Friday night at Homer High School to capture the Peninsula Conference boys championship with a narrow 57-55 victory over the Sea Otters. It is Ninilchik's first conference title since 2002, and the first state appearance for the Wolverines since 2010.
A Saturday full of senior night festivities at Nikiski High School culminated with a Bulldogs sweep of the Seward Seahawks.
The Nikiski boys couldn't have hoped for a better win after a few recent losses have dulled an otherwise spectacular season, holding off a late Seward charge to claim an 80-69 win over the Seahawks to give them the season sweep.
The triumph bumped the Bulldogs to 5-3 in Southcentral Conference play and 15-6 overall.
The Soldotna boys basketball team found trouble Friday in the form of the Palmer Moose, which stomped the Stars in a 58-39 Northern Lights Conference clash at Soldotna High School.
SoHi dropped to 4-5 in conference play and 10-12 overall, while Palmer boosted its NLC mark to 5-3 and 17-4 overall. With the loss, the best the SoHi can finish in the NLC standings is fourth.
Palmer featured a bit more size than SoHi, but Stars head coach Mark Tuter offered the simplest of explanations to their defeat.
A late surge propelled the Soldotna boys to a 75-66 nonconference victory over Nikiski on Thursday night at Nikiski High School, and the timing couldn't have been better.
With Northern Lights Conference opponent Palmer visiting SoHi today, the Stars were looking for a victory to inject some energy into their game, and after a big win over NLC rival Colony last Saturday, another triumph was important, even if it didn't affect the conference standings or 4A Winning Percentage Index.
Warm temperatures, brown grass, puddles of water, ungodly sticky Klister, patches of bare dirt.
That is the picture that has been painted over and over again the past three winters in southcentral Alaska, and nordic skiers have had enough of it.
High school teams will have to endure one more weekend of the season that wasn't, starting today at Kincaid Park in Anchorage. Over 30 teams statewide will converge on the Alaska state cross-country skiing championships to race on ribbons of snow surrounded by dry land.
Tied at 29 apiece at halftime, the Soldotna boys knew a spectacular second half would be needed to beat a team that has gotten the best of the Stars for several years.
SoHi did exactly that Saturday with a third-quarter surge that propelled the home team to a 63-49 Northern Lights Conference victory over the Colony Knights at Soldotna High School.
Timmy Smithwick fueled SoHi with 24 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter, and Derek Evans added 16.
All those early season games that saw the Kenai Central boys come up just shy of a win can be put to rest for now.
After losing several games this year that saw them hold late leads, the Kenai boys managed to pull it together when it mattered most Friday night at Cliff Massie Court in Kenai, pulling off a 46-44 upset win over the Colony Knights in a Northern Lights Conference clash.

This lovely home located in pristine Old Homosassa will provide a safe retreat to review your small business viability. Workshops on site include Strategic Pricing Strategies, Employee Review checklists as well as compliance updates. The remote location allows for full focus as you step away from the 24/7 duties of CEO. Balance between family and business needs can be addressed without the daily pressure.
The home is a fanciful 3 bedroom 2 bath 'tree house' of sorts provides ample vistas for viewing the birds and sanctuary like surroundings, space in which to prioritize the steps you need to take to grow your business. Many bird species can be seen from the home and local area including Great Blue Heron, Bald Eagles and Wood Storks! An elevated walkway leads from the home to the large dock on the saltwater river. Just minutes from great inshore fishing, or cast away right from the dock ~ pull in fresh blue crabs! Crabbing, fishing, scalloping, snorkeling, antiquing, exploring wildlife or artists all the fun is just moments away. Fully appointed with designer furnishings ~ Everything is ready for your arrival!
You can bring your kayak or boat and enjoy all of the local water activities. There are many local artists with storefronts to find unique creations. Call now to reserve your time in Old Homosassa!!
Keywords: House, Waterfront
We fell in love with Old Homosassa because it feels like Florida ~ Relaxed, beautiful waterfront community with live oaks and Spanish moss. A great variety of birds can be found along with the largest population of manatees. There is plenty to do here; but sitting on the porch visiting with family and friends while shelling scallops or cleaning the redfish you just caught is my favorite pastime. The people here know how to live and enjoy the best of life! Come check it out and start making your memories today!!
Elizabeth Jakubiak purchased this house in 2009
I built this home after acquiring the unique lot. There are very few properties like this with waterfront docks and pristine conservation lands. This allowed a home to be built on stilts with a tree house like effect and great views. The conservation land in concordance with the EPA remains tidal and the way nature intended it to be.
Allowing you to reset your priorities and focus on your business path is the ultimate for small business owners. Vignettes and workshops produce results that cannot be denied. Perfectly located with plenty of activities, restaurants and shopping within a 10 mile radius, this home is private yet accessible. Launch your boat, keep it at the dock, travel by boat to local hot spots for fishing or for socializing! You can have it all here. There are springs located 15 minutes by boat where you can snorkel and swim with the manatees and other critters! The water is cool and crystal clear. During scallop season enjoy gathering the tasty morsels and feasting afterwards. We have crab traps set out near the dock and enjoy the tasty blue crabs by the dozen! Redfish and trout are commonly sought after by inshore fishermen and women alike. Grouper, tarpon and other species may also be found nearby seasonally.
We had the Waterfront house for 12 days. Everything was great, nothing was missing. Even the soap for the dishwasher...
Hubby and I have been to Florida a few times now, always with friends and kids! This time we went on our own and stayed in Davenport area for 9days and then decided to try some where different for 7 nights. We chose Homossasa and this lovely house right by the water. We were very comfortable here and the house was very clean and we'll maintained and had everything we needed .
The area is rural and all the houses nearby were on the waters edge - the people nearby were very friendly and even took us out on their boats where we were so lucky to see dolphins frolicking in the sea!
We did find a small local beach at Pine island a few shops and a local bar or 2 - we also drove up to Gainsville one day to watch drag racing ( hubby's ' thing!!' ) and on the way back we came across a St Patricks parade. We went to local wildlife park very near to the house and saw the manatees and we also tried our hand at canoeing ( bit more practice required on that one ! ) we really enjoyed the house and the area- a much quieter type of Florida holiday and you do need a car -it definitely not a Disney holiday - Try some thing different -check out this home and the area !!
This was our second year taking a family vacation to Homosassa/Crystal River to go scalloping. The first year we stayed in a hotel. This year we stayed on a rental home. What a difference! The house comfortably fit 6 adults. It was clean we loved having the option to spend time on the dock. We felt like the house was tucked in a really neat area and we enjoyed the local area and hot spots. Our charter left out of a dock in Crystal River, only took us about 12 minutes door to door. That was a nice perk.
We hope to stay here again. Thanks for your attention to detail and hospitality.
The description of this home and property were accurate. This home has plenty of room to accomodate the 11 of us! Liz (owner) and Robbie (property manager) were very accomodating. Liz had a couple of air mattresses for our 3 unexpected guests for the one night and Robbie allowed us to park our boat trailer in her office parking lot. The home was very clean and had everything we needed to cook each night and there were even board games that we could play! The only complaints we have are the beds were a little uncomfortable, the a/c took a little time to cool the house off in the heat of the day and the grill didn't have any propane(Robbie told us it was our responsibilty to fill). Those problems did not spoil are trip though! We loved the location. It was close to the boat ramp and Publix wasn't too far down the road. We will definitely be back because of how well we were treated by the owner!
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your home. This is one of the cleanest vacation rentals our family has ever stayed in. The area is just beautiful and very private. The little town of Old Homosassa is so cute, but there is a major grocery store close enough to be convenient. We had a great time kayaking the Weeki Wachee and some of the springs in the area are the prettiest I have ever seen.
We love this area of the gulf coast. The vacation house was more than we expected. (It seems much larger than the pictures. We had eight adults and grandkids and were not in each other's way.) The dock, the sand under the house, Weeki Wachee, the manatees and the flamingos at the wildlife refuge, the Freezer (great peel and each shrimp) all add up to make this a most memorable family vacation. The guys rented a boat from McRae's and kept it at the dock and the gulf called them most days. What tales they had upon safe arrival back at the house. We girls enjoyed a pedicure for all, grandgirls included, on a rainy day at Hollywood nails and loved the attention and massaging chairs. We made a day trip South to Tarpon Springs and enjoyed the food and atmosphere there immensely. The kids were already planning "next year" before we drove away, but with three new grandbabies on the way, it may not be next year. Liz, the property owner, was very easy to contact and returned all inquiries quickly. Robbie, the property manager, quickly solved an internet connection problem over the phone. We would deffinetly stay here again. The house and area were just what we needed to truly get away.
Scalloping and crabbing are popular in the season. Redfish and trout attract sport fishers from all over the country!
