Council EMS, which boasts a crew of 16 people, doesn't have much of a budget. So Sandra Sova of Mesa and Jon Dickinson of Council are paid for a portion of their shifts and volunteer the rest of the time.
To the pair, it doesn't matter.
"They were just people who cared. That's why they did the job," Council EMS Director Dan Huter said. "That's what it takes to be an EMT. You see (patients) at their worst time, and you do the best you can for each person."
On Tuesday, Sova, 62, and Dickinson, 70, were tending to a patient in the back of an ambulance when it was struck by an oncoming car that had swerved into the wrong lane of U.S. Highway 95 near Indian Valley.
Huter said the rest of his EMS crew is struggling to cope with the accident. Both Sova and Dickinson have worked for Council EMS for about 10 years.
"We're pretty tight-knit here, everybody knows everybody pretty well," he said Thursday.
Because they were tending to the patient when the crash happened, neither was wearing a seatbelt. They were airlifted to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise with serious injuries.
Both Sova and Dickinson suffered head injuries in the crash. Huter said Sova has already undergone several surgeries.
"I think Jon's (injury) has actually gotten better because they took the tube out of him, so the pressure was relieved," he said.
But the man's condition changed from serious to critical after he developed pneumonia a complication that is not uncommon for older patients, Huter said.
Sova and Dickinson also broke bones and sustained internal damage in the wreck.
"The doctors all felt that they would recover in time," Huter said.
Workers' compensation would cover the medical bills for both EMTs, he said. Parma Ambulance has loaned Council an ambulance to use until it can get a new one or repair the damage.
The ambulance driver, 66-year-old Charles Penniger, was taken to Weiser Memorial Hospital with a foot injury after the crash. He has since been released, Huter said. The Weiser hospital had been the ambulance's destination before the collision.
The driver of the car, 36-year-old Samuel McCartney of Twin Falls, and his passenger, 37-year-old Heather Hetzel of Boise, also went to the hospital in Weiser, but Huter said that they did not appear to be seriously injured. McCartney's nose was bloodied when the airbag deployed, Huter said.
The ambulance patient was not injured in the crash. Police did not release his name or information on his condition, citing patient privacy laws.
Huter praised Penniger for his quick thinking. The ambulance driver saw the car coming toward him and swerved into the guardrail, causing McCartney's car to strike the side of the rig rather than collide head-on.
"Our driver did great evasive action to keep from doing a head-on," Huter said.
Idaho State Police say McCartney was headed north when he swerved into the opposite lane to avoid a car that had slowed to yield to the ambulance.
Police spokeswoman Teresa Baker said McCartney may face charges. The crash was still being investigated Thursday.
Huter expressed gratitude to the Ada County Paramedics, Canyon County Paramedics, the air ambulance crew and Saint Alphonsus.
"All the paramedics and personnel in the Valley have treated our folks amazing," he said. "They've got them rooms to stay in down there and gotten them meals, and that's all because it's a big family."

Purpose – Contractor selection is carried out in order to choose a competent and capable contractor to do the work. To help in this selection, baselines are established to ensure that the contractors have the required skills, resources, and abilities to execute the project. Contractor selection is a multiple criteria decision making wherein several criteria are required to be evaluated simultaneously. This paper aims to propose a decision-making model.
Design/methodology/approach – The proposed model utilizes superiority and inferiority ranking (SIR) method and it provides six preference structures in order to compare the performance of alternatives' criteria. As such, it can represent discrete or continuous criteria. The preference structures utilize indifference and preference thresholds to capture the characteristics of functions that represent the specified criteria. The model provides two aggregation procedures (simple additive weighting and technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution) to generate superiority and inferiority flows.
Findings – The proposed model is generic and can be used as a tool to evaluate alternatives in several applications such as value engineering, optimum organization structure, and constructability analysis. It enables its users to define the criteria that are deemed important for evaluation.
Originality/value – The proposed multiple criteria decision making (SIR method) is novel to construction. This ranking method can be utilized as a successful tool in contractor selection problem.

LOL ironic isn't it. Maybe it's because Josh never really looked like a juicer. It's kinda like roy nelson getting popped for something. If he had a body like AO, then that would be a different story. I think Steroids just don't work on Josh.....
Since so many are booked up, maybe he steps in for a late notice fight against Soa Palelei? Could help PPV buys.

DC was a horrible matchup for him. he was an even better and olympic-seasoned wrestler, and he kept getting off his shots first. barnett couldn't take the fight to the ground, i'm not gonna fault him for the that. damn near nobody can seem to hang with DC.
i'd take him over nelson or mir, and anyone south of that. once you get to the JDS/Cain level, if you can even compete at that level, you belong there. at the very least, this helps flesh out the top five of the division, and makes it even more impressive for newer guys like browne to get to the top
The guy is a fan of Manowar, so its hard for me to like him
Great to see Barnett back to big show. He's gonna add the depth that the HW division really needs since Kongo is gone and Carwin retired.
I say give him the Werdum/Big Nog loser in his first fight back.

Seriously though, I'm more excited to watch his interviews than his fights, and I think he gets worked by the top 5 in the division.

he gets a lot of hate, but he's never really left the top five in his career. he can still wreck pretty much anyone, and can compete on the ground with the best in the world. i'll always tune in to watch that guy fight.

Available in select patterns only our CLASSIC wallpaper is traditional clay coated paper manufactured with responsibly-sourced fiber by suppliers who adhere to one of the globally recognized forestry or chain of custody programs.
Click here to view all our patterns and color-ways.
SAMPLE SIZE: 7 x 10 inches
STRIKE OFF: 27 X 27 inches
ROLL WIDTH: 27 inches
ROLL LENGTH: 15 feet
MATERIAL: traditional clay coated paper
PRINT METHOD: Digital latex water – based ink
SELVAGE: 1 inch – paper comes untrimmed
FIRE RATING: class A (ASTM E84)
DELIVERY: 3-5 weeks
CUSTOMIZATION – Wallpapers are available in custom color and scale for a setup fee of $ 100.
27 x 27 inch strike offs of custom wallpapers are $ 50 each.
HOW TO MEASURE THE AMOUNT OF PAPER TO ORDER – We recommend measuring with a yardstick or steel tape measure. Make your measurements in feet and round off to the next half foot or foot. Measure the wall height from the floor to the ceiling, excluding any baseboards or moldings. Then measure the length of the wall without deducting for windows or doors (this will leave you extra wallpaper in case you may need it). Multiply the two measurements to find the surface area of the wall.
Single rolls of our paper are 15 feet long and 27 inches wide. 1 roll covers about 30 square feet. To find the number of rolls needed to cover your wall, multiply the height and the width of the wall by rounding up each length to the nearest foot. Then divide by 30.
Example: For a wall that is 10 feet 6 inches high by 9 feet 4 inches long. Round up and multiply 11 feet by 10 feet to get 110 square feet. Divide 110 by 30 and you will get 3.6. In this case you will need 5 rolls.
If the number divides out to be .5 or above, you will need to add one more roll on to be safe. If you were to get 3.4, 4 rolls would be enough, but if you get 3.5 to 4.4, you will need 5 rolls.
If you are unsure, please contact us before making a purchase.

By BRADEN LAMMERS
JEFFERSONVILLE — The cost of winter entertainment is worth it for the city of Jeffersonville, officials say.
Parks Department Director Paul Northam at a recent city parks authority meeting presented a financial report related to the Jeffersonville Ice Rink that was open from Nov. 23 through the last weekend in January. According to the report, expenses for the ice rink totaled $125,935 and revenue was $50,088, resulting in a loss of $75,847. The city posted a loss of $77,692 for operating the link last year.
Northam explained that while expenses were cut by about $20,000, revenues also dropped by about the same amount.
"A big part of that reason was we had three days that we had to close last year," he said. "We closed 11 days this year and most of those 11 days were Saturdays and Sundays, which are our big days."
The monetary losses are something the city is willing to accept.
"City services should not be in the business of making a profit," said Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore.
He added that he thinks the ice rink is a great idea if managed properly and while there is no measurable impact, the ice rink is definitely an economic tool for the city and its businesses.
Moore's comment about management of the rink related to a payment made to Walnut Ridge Nursery and Garden Center of $10,000.
"I'm not comfortable with a council member's business being paid for work that affects a city project," he said.
However, Councilman Dennis Julius, an owner of Walnut Ridge, said his business gave the city a cost break on landscaping at the ice rink. The company was hired by the city's parks department for the work.
"Doing what we do costs us a lot more than $10,000," he said. "If I was going to do that for another community it would be more than $10,000. It's quite involved. We don't just plop a tree down."
Julius explained that a large portion of the costs involved were the labor in transporting trees — which can weigh up to a ton — to the rink and planting them in temporary planting beds. That cost also included stringing up decorative lights on the trees and above the skating rink.
Julius provided the cost outline for Walnut Ridge's expenses to the News and Tribune.
According to the report, the total cost to complete the landscaping was more than $14,900, with $6,500 of the cost for labor. The difference in the amount billed and the total cost to Walnut Ridge was donated to the city.
The value of the plants used was nearly $13,400, according to the report.
"What we want it to look like in the evening is for it to look like you're walking through [a] park," he said of the atmosphere created.
As far as the purpose of the rink and the loss incurred by the city, Julius said he would continue to support the project as long as the community supports it.
"I think it's a successful project," he said. "That's a true quality-of-life issue. It brings a lot of people to the downtown which we wanted it to do from the beginning."
Jay Ellis, executive director of Jeffersonville Main Street Inc., said businesses downtown did get a boost from the ice skating rink.
"It may not be immediately quantifiable, but it does create an impact to downtown businesses," he said. "It's more than just an economic impact — it's really a cultural asset for Jeffersonville."
And for the businesses, even if the draw of the rink does not translate into a direct sale, Ellis said they are still being exposed to a new market and a new customer that may otherwise not have come to the area.
"You [could] drive by [the rink] and see 100 people who may not normally be in downtown Jeffersonville," he said. "I think overall the response that I get is most of the businesses are very happy having this down here. I think it's something other communities admire."
Jeffersonville City Council President and Parks Authority Board Member Connie Sellers agreed that the city did not think it would make money by having the ice rink downtown. But before the plans to set up the rink move forward this winter, she said the city may have to look at ways to further reduce costs.
"I think that we knew it would not be a [profit] generator," she said. "The idea was to get people into downtown Jeffersonville. I know it was busy when it was cold enough. I personally like it being there."
Sellers suggested looking at shortening the length of time the rink is operational, if that would possibly save the city some money.
A city program that will definitely be seeing some cost-cutting measures take place is Anchors A-Weigh.
It offers a variety of free exercise programs held at the city's RiverStage. The plan for this year's events is to host programs on four weeknights and one on Saturday morning, which will change from a Zumba class to a yoga class due to noise complaints received last year.
Northam said to put on the programs in 2012, it cost Jeffersonville about $29,000. But during last week's Parks Authority meeting, he offered several ways to reduce the cost for this year's Anchors A-Weigh program to about $8,000.
Northam suggested the TV broadcast of the programs that aired on Saturday mornings be eliminated, that much of the advertising for the programs be cut and instead tie the advertisement into RiverStage marketing, the parks department's online "shout-outs" and that it be promoted on the parks department's revamped website that has been planned.
"I think it was about $9,000 to $10,000 worth of advertisement we spent," Northam said. "I think we could cut a lot of that out."
It was also offered that the length of the season be cut from 21 weeks to 17 weeks, with the programs to end in mid-September.
The parks authority questioned what to pay the instructors that are teaching the classes, which are offered for free. Northam said the instructors received more than $100 per session last year and that fitness instructors, on average, will make closer to $30 to 50 per session.
The parks authority agreed with many of the proposed cost-cutting measures and also wanted Northam to look into the possibility of having the attendees pay a minimal fee to participate in the Anchors A-Weigh program.
No official action was taken at the Feb. 25 meeting and a refined plan is expected to be presented at the parks authority's next meeting.
Bids were reviewed to install landscaping along the front of Nachand Fieldhouse on Court Ave.
Three bids were collected by Northam from Frank Otte Landscape and Design, Walnut Ridge Nursery and Garden Center and Clinton Korfhage Landscaping.
Despite not being the lowest bid, the parks authority — which is comprised of city council members — approved Walnut Ridge's bid at $5,100.
"We have a relationship with Walnut Ridge, we use them quite often [and] they're a local company," Northam said.
The bid from Frank Otte totaled $7,340 and Clinton Korfhage's bid totaled $4,694.
Before the work takes place, Parks Authority Board Member Mike Smith said he would like Northam to look into adding an irrigation system before the landscaping is planted.
Walnut Ridge's bid was approved 5-0, with Board Members Bryan Glover, Matt Owen and Ed Zastawny absent from the meeting and Julius, who is an owner of Walnut Ridge, abstaining from the vote.
Plans for a soccer and multisport complex off of Charlestown Pike are expected to be presented for bids at the parks authority's March 11 meeting.
However, Matt Gullo, architect for Kovert-Hawkins, said discussions have taken place about expanding the size of the building that will accompany the soccer and football fields planned for the complex.
The proposed expansion would nearly double the size of the indoor, multisport complex. The original square footage of the indoor complex was 20,400 square feet. If the expansion takes place, it would increase the square footage to 34,800, Gullo said. As a result, the expansion would take away about 40 parking spaces.

Cumberland Times-News
A man who had been a U.S. Army medic during World War II once shared what he was the memory he would carry with him for the rest of his days.
His unit was among those that recaptured the Maginot Line from the Germans. This was a series of French forts the Germans had taken early in the war.
He entered a bunker and found several dead German soldiers, lying side by side with their arms folded across their chests.
"Each one had a bullet hole in his forehead," he said.
Those men had been wounded, not seriously — from what he could see — but in a way that would have left them unable to walk unaided.
"The Germans were retreating," he said, "and they shot their own men so they wouldn't have to be burdened with taking them along." (He explained that if you kill an enemy soldier, you eliminate only one soldier. If you wound him, you also eliminate those who have to carry him.)
"That was the day I realized the extent of the evil we were fighting," he said.
Some time back, a History Channel show featured a family that escaped from East Germany to West Germany by using a home-made balloon. It took them two tries.
The father of this family said nobody can truly appreciate the nature of freedom except for those who don't have it.
We respect his opinion — he certainly is entitled to it — but we disagree.
There are many others (and they are not just limited to Americans, because other countries are part of what refer to "the Free World)" who also can appreciate it.
Our friend, the former medic, would be among them. He and millions of others living today are able to appreciate freedom because they have seen what it's like for people who do not have freedom, and they are aware of the price that sometimes must be paid to keep it.
They have paid that price themselves, and so have their families. They also know of others who had to pay a higher price than they did.
Today is Memorial Day. Let each of us remember those who are responsible for our freedom.

Logansport City Council will meet tonight to vote on whether to enter into an agreement with energy company Pyrolyzer LLC to develop the new power plant – an agreement LMU board members and city officials hope will lower electricity rates and prevent LMU from becoming obsolete.
LMU has endorsed Pyrolyzer's proposal, leaving the decision now to City Council. It will be the first of two votes on the matter. Should it be voted through tonight and at the next council meeting March 4, the city will enter into a memorandum of understanding with Pyrolyzer, with more specific negotiations to follow. Pyrolyzer has proposed to build the plant, which will be powered by refuse-derived fuel, without financial contribution from the city for around $566 million. If the council votes in favor of Pyrolyzer, the company would own the plant for a period of time to be determined through future negotiations before transferring it to LMU.
A public hearing will be held before the vote, where residents are invited to present their opinions on the LMU board's recommendation. Frank Canterbury, president of Pyrolyzer, and several of the consultants the city has hired to assist with the project will also be in attendance.
Julie Kitchell, a Logansport resident, said the public hasn't had enough information or time to be prepared for the plan.
"I think it's overwhelming for most people," Kitchell said. "I don't think they understand what's at stake."
Kitchell said most of the people she has talked to about the plan have told her they didn't have enough information to form an opinion. She hopes people will attend the meeting tonight to make this point heard.
"I just wish people would get involved even if it's just on a basic level to say, 'I don't know enough information about this to support it,'" she said. "I do not believe the majority of people living in Logansport or even Cass County for that matter would support it given the information that we're given. I think they need more time, more information given and more public hearings than just this."
Logansport resident Mercedes Brugh agreed more time is needed in order to ensure the best decision is made.
"I object to the secrecy and the fast timetable," she said. "The mayor kept these discussions under wraps from February until October of last year. Then in November, two things happened: we discarded the master plan's recommendations and we jumped on the fast track to burn trash for energy."
Councilman Joe Buck said he feels the public has had ample opportunity to be informed and participate in the plan.
"A lot of the information has been published since November," Buck said, referring a study conducted by Lutz, Daily & Brain LLC that recommended four options for LMU when considering its present and future power demands. A subsequent study was conducted by Crowe Horwath LLP to analyze the economic impact of these options. Both of these studies along with all of the proposals submitted to take on the project are available at LMU's office.
Buck also mentioned LMU's practice of taking in questions from the public via email and with the help of the consultants hired to assist with the project, posting answers on the LMU website.
"There are some people that think it's been done in secret, which I don't think is true," Buck said.
There was the executive session in Indianapolis last month however, where city officials met with consultants and representatives of energy companies to delve further into the details of the proposals. As stated in the section of Indiana Code pertaining to executive sessions, the public was not allowed to attend this meeting.
Mayor Ted Franklin addressed the need for secrecy in such circumstances at a recent city council meeting.
"We share what we have to," Franklin said. "This is an economic development project and economic development projects are protected under the law. Quite honestly, if we're going to be successful, we can't reveal everything that we're doing. We can't reveal the details of the negotiations."
With the exception of the executive session, Councilman Charlie Hastings said the proceedings have been transparent.
"Everything else has been out in the public," Hastings said. "Anybody can ask questions about anything and I think it's a very democratic process."
While Hastings said he welcomes this kind of democratic process, he said the decision to move forward with the plant has already been informally made.
"They can express their opinions and that's fine but I think we're all going to vote for it," Hastings said.

More than 1,000 people of various faiths braved cold, rainy weather Tuesday night to gather for song, prayer and a stemwinder of a sermon at Mecklenburg Ministries' 38th annual interfaith Thanksgiving service.
The two-hour event at Covenant Presbyterian Church, whose bells beckoned the worshipers, also included a Native American blessing, accompanied by drumbeat; a center-aisle performance by liturgical dancers from St. Paul Baptist and Friendship Missionary Baptist; and readings from texts sacred to Jews, Christians, Muslims and Hindus.
Mecklenburg Ministries, with nearly 100 congregations of many faiths, tries with the yearly service and a host of other events to promote interfaith relationships and social justice.
Ronald Carter, president of Johnson C. Smith University, a school founded by Presbyterians, started his thunderous preaching from the pulpit by calling Thanksgiving "a common-ground holiday" and saluting the sight of so many from different faiths joining together.
"I can see the boundaries that each of you has crossed in order to come together and congregate as a single community," he told those packed into the pews. "Each of you is distinct in your multifaceted faith commitments, yet also passionately aware that what brings us together is bigger than any of us and more expansive than any one of our tribes."
The theme of his sermon was the courage it takes to be thankful even in tough times like today.
"We can be our best in the worst of times," Carter said, later concluding that "we have the courage because God, God, God, is the center of (our) joy."
An interfaith choir sang, as did a children's choir. An interfaith orchestra performed. So did the Charlotte Bronze Hand Bell Ensemble.
And as part of its celebration of Native American culture, the crowd heard the debut of "We All Sing" by composer William Neil.
The service was moved to Covenant Presbyterian in Dilworth after St. Matthew Catholic Church in Ballantyne bowed out rather than formally invite Steav Bates-Congdon to be a member of the team planning and performing music for the service.
Last year, Bates-Congdon was fired by another Catholic church, St. Gabriel, after he traveled to New York to marry his longtime male partner and then put the wedding photos on Facebook. He is music director at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Fort Mill and helped with Tuesday's music.
There was no mention of the controversy during Tuesday's service, though the Rev. Glencie Rhedrick, president of the Mecklenburg Ministries board, did thank St. Matthew "for their creativity and steadfastness." She also thanked the Rev. Bob Henderson, pastor at Covenant Presbyterian, for "saying yes" to taking over hosting duties and to his congregation "for their spirit of cooperation and excitement."
The night appeared to offer something for everyone, including children. Srikanth Rajagopalan told the kids a story about Krishna, one of the most popular representations of God in Hinduism.
And in her Native American blessing, Robbie Warren, also known as Otter Woman Standing, invoked Mother Earth and grandmothers and grandfathers of the North, South, East and West, and said that "we are all connected."
The Rev. Nicole Martin announced that her church, the Park, which is marking its 100th anniversary this year, will host the 2014 interfaith Thanksgiving service.
Then the diverse congregation joined voices in "Let There Be Peace on Earth."

Results 31 to 33 of 33
Ummm, actually there are lots of UOAs showing it protects every bit as good as Mobil1. Besides, the best Mobil1 EP is nearly $9/quart locally and you have to go buy it, I pay $5.25/quart and its delivered to my door. And it is now dexos1 compliant, at least the 5-gallon buckets I just got have it printed on them. I looked through the owner's manual when I bought my truck, and it does not say anywhere that "only" a dexos1 oil is required; and as was stated; that whole equivalent thing (Schaeffer's is now equivalent, just like Amsoil and a whole lot of big name oils who didn't want to pay the certification fee).
I started on Mobil1 EP, and the last few runs have been Schaeffer...it looks the same coming out of the pan as the Mobil 1 did. Now that I'm sure the Mobil 1 is flushed out of the system, I'll be pulling a UOA on the next OCI.
I have been on these forums for just over a year now, I have not seen one thread where GM denied a warranty claim because the owner didn't use a dexos1 oil...and I would expect two things if it did: the Amsoil crowd would have chirped pretty loud about not being able to use THEIR oil, and a single warranty denial would have spread like wildfire through these forums!
Not to mention that Schaeffer is more than motor oil...
So there are many reasons that someone might want to use something other than Mobil 1...
Mobil 1 EP is $26 a 5 quart jug at the local Walmart while Mobil 1 is $22 a 5 quart jug. So $9 a quart for EP is rather ridiculous. IMO there is no compelling reason to use Mobil 1 EP over Mobil 1 as all EP is supposed to do is give you extended drain intervals. Since the OLM in my Silverado would not know that I'm using EP, and EP is more expensive, Mobil 1 is the obvious choice.
I started another thread and what I would like to see if REAL WORLD TESTING that Amsoil, Royal Purple, Schaeffer, etc., is a better oil than Mobil 1, Quaker State Full Synthetic, Castrol Edge, Pennzoil Platinum, etc. I don't drive my truck in a laboratory, so some actual testing would be great.

It is possible that Steved was referring to the two proprietary additives that Schaeffer uses in it's oils.... Micron Moly and Pentrol, both of which are friction modifiers meant to complement each other. Maybe he meant something else.
I guess you could start a thread to discover how well the various oils perform, but that really has been done already at the BITOG website forums. There are tons of used oil samples that are available there for you to spend hours and hours going over, along with following the discussions on each one of them. I'll clue you in ahead of time.... Mobil 1 does not always rank on top. And Schaeffer has a pretty good reputation there. And don't try to spar with the boys at that site unless you are going to wear your cup. There are several members on that site who are professional tribologists and other petroleum specialists. You get into a scrapping war over there, you had better darn sure know what you are talking about.

Considering the Tenth Doctor's relationship with Good Queen Bess, it seems only appropriate that our first reference in the English language to this standard nursery rhyme is from 1590 in The Faerie Queene by Sir Edmund Spenser, who pens, "She bath'd with roses red, and violets blew, / And all the sweetest flowers, that in the forrest grew."

Springfield, Mass. - October 12, 2013 - The Hobart College football team used three plays over 20 yards in the first half to jump out to a 28-0 lead and prevailed over host Springfield College, 49-21, in Liberty League action at Stagg Field Saturday.
Hobart remains unbeaten at 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the Liberty League. Springfield falls to 3-3 on the season and 0-3 in Liberty play.
Hobart scored on its opening drive, eating up 6:20 of the first quarter. The Statesmen went 80 yards on the drive, which ended with quarterback Patrick Conlan (Sewickley, Pa.) finding Nick Liverio (Amsterdam, N.Y.) in the end zone for a five yard touchdown. Sean Kirshe's (Lakewood Ranch, Fla.) kick was good for a 7-0 Hobart lead with 7:00 left in the first quarter.
Springfield gained a first down on its next possession, but was forced to punt after gaining just 16 yards on the drive. Hobart blocked Springfield's punt as four Statesmen penetrated the line, and Gabriel Smith (Albany, N.Y.) sprawled out for the block. Matt Cragg (Corry, Pa.) recovered on the Springfield 20 yard line.
Hobart was pushed back to the 25 yard line on a delay of game penalty, but the Statesmen got a big play from their running back on the next play. Steven Webb (Dundee, N.Y.) bounced out to the right side for a 25 yard touchdown and an early 14-0 lead with 4:17 left in the first.
The Statesmen opened the second quarter with another Webb touchdown just 1:12 in. The senior rushed 21 yards for his second score of the day, giving Hobart a 21-0 lead.
Following a Springfield red zone fumble, Hobart's Dominique Ellis (St. Petersburg, Fla.) rumbled for 52 yards on the first play. After the Springfield defense forced a 4th and 7, the Stateman used a 12 yard pass from Conlan to Yosh Karbowniczak (Syracuse, N.Y.), and would soon take a 28-0 lead after a two-yard touchdown by Conner Hartigan (Albany, N.Y.) with 7:09 left in the first half.
Late in the second quarter, Springfield drove deep into Hobart territory for the second-consecutive drive, but this time the Pride came away with a touchdown. With just 19 seconds left in the first half, the Pride got on the board on a one yard rush from Fenaroli for a 28-7 Hobart lead. Springfield went 68 yards on the drive that lasted 6:45.
Hobart opened up the second half with a highlight-reel 61 yard touchdown by Webb, just 22 seconds in. It was Webb's third of the day, giving Hobart a 35-7 lead.
The visitors lead grew to 42-7, with Webb once again coming through with a big play, bursting down the left sideline for 33 yards to give the Statesman a first and goal. Ellis finished the drive with a three-yard touchdown for a 42-7 lead with 2:24 left in the third.
The Pride capitalized for its second score of the day with 12:03 left in the game as Tim O'Brien (East Bridgewater, Mass.) tossed a 33 yard touchdown to Austin Bateman (Gansevoort, N.Y.) who was wide open on the right side. Bateman muscled into the end zone from five yards out and Hobart held a 42-14 lead.
Springfield followed it up with great defensive play, forcing a Hobart three-and-out to get the ball back with 10:13 left in the game. The Pride scored again on a two-yard run by O'Brien.< b>Blake Joppy (Clarksburg, Md.) and O'Brien had big gains of 13 and 17, respectively on the drive. Springfield's score with 6:01 left in the game gave Hobart a 42-21 lead.
Hobart's Hartigan returned the ensuing kickoff 87 yards to put the Statesmen in the red zone to start their drive. Hobart's Brad Burns (Hoosick Falls, N.Y.) rushed eight yards for the score and a 49-21 lead.
Hobart finished the day with 359 yards of total offense, 318 of those on the ground. Webb rushed for 203 yards to lead the Statesmen. Ellis had 68 rushing yards for Hobart. Conlan finished the day 5-8 with 41 yards and a touchdown at quarterback. Defensively, Trayvon Toney had a game-high nine tackles.

Tuesday, Nov. 6, is a very important day for the USA. It is the day we choose the man to lead our nation for the next four years. I hope every one who votes will ask for divine guidance in making their choice. The Bible in St. Luke says we should not worry about what we will wear or eat and drink for the Father knows that we have need of these things. "But rather seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you." (St. Luke 12-31)
The character of the man we choose for our leader is far more important than how well he can speak. If he speaks the truth is the most important part of his speech. Deceptive speech that distorts and bends truth to conform with popular opinion is exchanging moral principles for the will of the majority.
We should choose a man who believes that children are a gift from God and the fruit of the womb is his reward like his word says. One who believes that marriage is between a man and a woman, not one who believes in same-sex marriage. The Bible says a man should not lie with a man as he does with a woman, it is abomination. (Leviticus 18-22)
Abortion and homosexuality are contrary to the word of God. To live a life contrary to the word of God is not the right path to take and a nation that does so will never prosper. Please keep this in mind when you go to vote on Nov. 6. Here are the words of poet James Russell Lowell, "This Present Crisis":
"Truth forever on the scaffold,
"Wrong forever on the throne
"Yet that scaffold sways the future,
"And, behind the dim unknown,
"Standeth God within the shadows, keeping
watch above his own."
Helen L. Kizer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- This is the 15th season of one of the most popular shows on television -- 'Law & Order: SVU.'
The season premiere picks up immediately where the finale left off — with Mariska Hargitay's character(Detective Olivia Benson) at the mercy of serial rapist William Lewis (Pablo Schreiber).
At various points, he's drugging her and he's pouring alcohol down her mouth. He tortures her psychologically and physically.
It takes her a long while to accept the fact that this is happening to her. Detective Benson bargains with him, even gets angry with him. Law & Order: SVU's two-hour premiere is tonight at 9 on NBC Charlotte.
This morning on Larry's Look, Hargitay and writer/producer Warren Leight talked about the new season and how intense the action will be tonight.

Joint Base Fort Sam Houston saw an historic change of authority ceremony for its combined health care facilities this week.
The San Antonio Military Health System, formed two years ago under Joint Base realignment, celebrated the installation of its new director Thursday.
The San Antonio Military Health System includes San Antonio Military Medical Center and Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center. It was formed Sept. 15, 2011, as a way for the military in San Antonio to increase efficiencies.
On Thursday SAMM Ministries celebrated its 30th year of serving San Antonio families who need a little help to get back on their feet.
The ministry also announced a major fundraising campaign. The new Help, Hope and Home fundraising campaign seeks to raise $8 million dollars over three years.
According to SAMM CEO Navarra Williams, children are the most severely impacted by homelessness.
"Homeless children are twice as likely to be hungry, develop a laundry list of illnesses, and get behind in school and reading skills," he said.
San Antonio city leaders swept through a $2.3 billion budget amid negotiations in the final hour that added line items back in that previously had been eliminated.
With the majority of the city council favoring the amendments, and the 2014 budget as proposed, residents will begin seeing some of the effects.
With many sports, you face the real possibility of ending up toothless, but there is one sport where a gummy smile is definitely to your advantage--gurning. Dedicated practitioners of gurning have actually had dental extractions to help them in this rural English—I hesitate to say—sport, but that is how participants view it. This is also an activity where an aged, saggy and lined face is a decided advantage.
The Bexar County Bibliotech is gearing up for its big opening this weekend and staff have been working on community outreach throughout the week to get the word out about the only fully-digital library in the U.S.
The new Bibliotech digital library encourages kids to play video games and the game tables in the children's room offer space for more than one child to piece together insect parts and play other educational games.
Gov. Rick Perry is joining oil, gas, economic, finance and energy experts in Dallas today for an energy conference to discuss ways America can continue its growth in oil and gas.
The goal of the conference, which is being hosted by the George W. Bush Institute, is:
"To determine the cost that misguided regulation imposes on growth and to suggest more sensible policies that could benefit America."
"To determine the cost that misguided regulation imposes on growth and to suggest more sensible policies that could benefit America."
Josh Havens is with the governor's office and said Perry's main talking point will be about how Texas achieved energy growth.
In the first segment:
The Harvard Crimson released a survey last week showing 42 percent of incoming freshmen had cheated in high school, this coming just months after 60 students were caught plagiarizing on a take-home government exam.
These events at the storied college just highlighting what for many is an epidemic of cheating in our universities. Who is to blame? What can we do to change this?
The San Antonio Mastersingers open next month celebrating their 70th season performing with the San Antonio Symphony with a performance of Symphonic Dances on Oct. 11 & 12 ."We begin the season with the symphony performing 'Miriam's Song of Triumph' by Franz Schubert Oct. 11 and 12 at the Majestic, and then we quickly go into the holiday season," says Mastersinger and board member Chancey Blackburn. "We have four performances this year of Handel's 'Messiah' and we're also performing the Holiday Pops."
Palo Alto College is taking its training for Eagle Ford Shale jobs to new levels by expanding its certification program into a full associate's degree program.
The Alamo Colleges created the Alamo Academies to answer the demand by oil and gas exploration companies for more personnel who were trained on the high-tech equipment needed for the work. The certification courses quickly became popular.
Soldiers returning from multiple deployments have a greater need for assistance when they get back to their families and home life.
Maj. Gen. Adolph McQueen, deputy commanding general of Army North, is meeting with troops at headquarters in San Antonio Thursday as part of the Army's Suicide Prevention Month.
Army North officials in San Antonio are having ongoing conversations with returning soldiers as part of the Army-wide suicide awareness effort this week.
