Fort Fisher Air Force Station was a US Air Force installation located on the Atlantic coast 08 miles (13 km) southwest of Kure Beach, North Carolina. Its primary mission was as a radar complex. It was closed on 30 June 1988 by the Air Force, and turned over to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Today the site is part of the Joint Surveillance System (JSS), designated by NORAD as Eastern Air Defense Sector (EADS) Ground Equipment Facility.

During the Civil War, Fort Fisher was a Confederate stronghold. It fell to Union forces on January 15, 1865.
In late December 1940, a new military facility was built as an Army anti-aircraft artillery training facility. It was named Camp Davis, and was manned by about 20,000 officers and men. Camp Davis was attached to the First Army, Fourth Corps Area. It was an expansive facility consisting of more than 3,000 buildings on 45,538 acres (184.3 km2) with access provided by newly built railroad spurs leading into the camp.
Camp Davis was different from most military installations by having its firing ranges outside of the boundaries of the main post. In total five ranges were set up outside of Camp Davis for conducting live anti-aircraft training. These ranges were spread out along the southern coast of North Carolina at Sears Point, New Topsail Inlet, Maple Hill, Holly Shelter, and Fort Fisher.
Fort Fisher Army Air Field[edit]
The Fort Fisher range ultimately became the main range for Camp Davis and the installation was given the name Fort Fisher Army Air Field (AAF). Because of the new range's prominence, it was deemed necessary to make the range a self-sustaining post. This called for the construction of 48 frame buildings, 316 tent frames, showers and latrines, mess halls, warehouses, radio and meteorological stations, a post exchange, photo lab, recreation hall, outdoor theater, guardhouse, infirmary, and an administration building. In addition to these facilities, the site featured a 10,000-gallon water storage tank, a motor pool, a large parade ground, and three steel observation towers along the beach.
One of the more prominent features of the range was a 2,500 ft (760 m). unpaved runway. From a historical standpoint this is unfortunate as a section of the earthworks for the fort's land face, known as Shepard's Battery, were leveled to make the runway. The Army was well aware of the historical significance of the old fort, but the necessities of the war outweighed historic preservation.[1] Today, the parking lot and visitor center for Fort Fisher sit on the remains of the runway.
In 1944 the anti-aircraft training facility was transferred to another base and Camp Davis was closed. At the time of its closure, Fort Fisher AAF had grown to include an 80-seat cafeteria, a 350-bed hospital and dental clinic, and covered an area of several hundred acres.
Fort Fisher Air Force Station[edit]
In 1955, the United States Air Force retained part of Fort Fisher AAF and renamed it Fort Fisher Air Force Station. It was assigned to Air Defense Command (ADC) as part of a planned deployment of forty-four Mobile radar stations. Fort Fisher AFS was designed as site M-115 and the 701st Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was assigned on 1 August 1955.[2][3] ADC initially installed AN/MPS-7 and AN/MPS-8 radars at the site, and initially the station functioned as a Ground control intercept (GCI) and warning station. As a GCI station, the squadron's role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the squadron's radar scopes. By 1958 the AN/MPS-8 had been converted into an AN/GPS-3 and an AN/MPS-14 had been added.
In 1962 an AN/FPS-7C and AN/FPS-26 were placed in operation along with the AN/MPS-14 radars. During 1962 Fort Fisher AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) system, initially feeding data to DC-04 at Fort Lee AFS, Virginia. After joining, the squadron was redesignated as the 701st Radar Squadron (SAGE) on 1 July 1962.[3] The radar squadron provided information 24/7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range, direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile.
On 31 July 1963, the site was redesignated as NORAD ID Z-115. The station was supported logistically by nearby Myrtle Beach Air Force Base South Carolina. In addition, an AN/FSS-7 radar was operated by 4783d Surveillance Squadron, 14th Aerospace Force to monitor for Ballistic Missile launches by submarines.
In addition to the main facility, Fort Fisher AFS operated several unmanned Gap Filler sites:
- Myrtle Beach, SC (M-115A/Z-115A): 33°46′11″N 078°47′20″W / 33.76972°N 78.78889°W
- Fort Bragg, NC (M-115B/Z-115B): 35°08′42″N 079°04′14″W / 35.14500°N 79.07056°W
Myrtle Beach operated an AN/FPS-14, while Fort Bragg operated an AN/FPS-18. In addition, with the closure of ADC facilities at MCAS Cherry Point (M-116), the AN/FPS-14 Gap Filler at Holly Ridge, NC 34°30′50″N 077°32′08″W / 34.51389°N 77.53556°W was redesignated Z-115C in 1963.
Over the years, the equipment at the station was upgraded or modified to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the information gathered by the radars.
The 701st Radar Squadron (SAGE) was inactivated[3] and replaced by the 701st Air Defense Group in March 1970[4] Just before inactivation, the squadron earned an Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for exceptionally meritorious service for the period from 1 December 1968 through 28 February 1970.[5] The upgrade to group status was done because of Fort Fisher AFS' status as a Backup Interceptor Control (BUIC) site. BUIC sites were alternate control sites in the event that SAGE Direction Centers became disabled and unable to control interceptor aircraft. The group was inactivated and replaced by 701st Radar Squadron (SAGE) in January 1974.[3][4] in reductions to defenses against manned bombers. The group and squadron shared a second AF Outstanding Unit Award for the period 1 January 1973 through 31 December 1974.[5]
Fort Fisher AFS came under Tactical Air Command jurisdiction in 1979 with the inactivation of Aerospace Defense Command and the creation of ADTAC. It operated in this capacity until its closure on 30 June 1988.[6]
Upon decommissioning the site, the FAA continued to run the radar as part of the Joint Surveillance System (JSS) network as site J-02. In 1995 an AN/FPS-91A radar performed search duties. After its closure, a portion of the base was returned to the state of North Carolina which turned much of it into the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area and historic site. The Air Force, however, decided to retain the housing complex for the base and turn it into a recreation area known as Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area.
With the closure of Myrtle Beach AFB in 1993, the Air Force facilities at Fort Fisher are currently supported by Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. Besides being a recreation area, the Fort Fisher site is used by the National Guard as a training area and also hosts the Annual Seafood, Blues and Jazz Festival.

Clippers-Cavaliers Preview
By MATT BEARDMORE
Posted Feb 28 2013 11:57PM
The Los Angeles Clippers are one of the top road teams in the NBA.
Whether that will help the Pacific Division leaders win their first game in Cleveland in more than a decade remains to be seen.
Los Angeles will try to end a 10-game road losing streak in this series on Friday night when the improving Cavs could be without All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving for a third consecutive game.
With Thursday's 99-91 victory over Central Division-leading Indiana, which was 24-5 at home, the Clippers (42-18 ) improved to 19-12 on the road.
Los Angeles is on the verge of winning 20 away from home for the first time since going 20-21 seven seasons ago, but the team is well aware of its struggles against Cleveland (20-38 ), winner of 13 of 15 in this series following a 108-101 victory at Staples Center on Nov. 5.
"It's going to be a tough game in Cleveland," said point guard Chris Paul, who scored the team's final eight points on Thursday to finish with 29 in the Clippers' fourth straight road win. "They did (beat us earlier this year) and they beat us last year (99-92 on Feb. 8 ) in Cleveland."
Before kicking off a stretch of seven of nine at home on Sunday versus Oklahoma City, the Clippers - winners of seven of eight - will try to record their first victory at Cleveland since March. 10, 2002.
Slowing down Dion Waiters, who hit a season-high seven 3-pointers and scored a team-best 28 points on Nov. 5, could help Los Angeles get the job done.
Waiters, the league's second-highest rookie scorer with 14.8 points per game, has totaled 48 with Irving out the last two games - wins over Chicago and Toronto. Waiters is averaging 20.3 points over the last six contests, with the Cavs' only losses during this stretch coming against the NBA's top two teams, San Antonio and Miami, and by a total of five points.
"He understands what he has to do when Kyrie is not there, because we asked him to do a little bit more with the ball," coach Byron Scott said.
The Cavaliers' bench has also been a big help, outscoring opponents' reserves by an average of 19.0 points over the last four games. That production helped Cleveland finish 7-5 in February - its first winning month since March 2010 when LeBron James was still with the team.
"I think we've got a taste of (winnings) now and understand how hard it is and how much work goes into it," forward Luke Walton said.
The Cavs will need that same effort down low against Blake Griffin, who is averaging 26.8 points and 10.5 rebounds in four games versus Cleveland after scoring 20 with six boards on Nov. 5.
Griffin, though, has been hampered by a bursa sac problem in his right elbow, and he needed it checked by trainers on Thursday after crashing to the floor.
Even if that slows the All-Star forward, the Cavs have to find a way to contain Paul. The All-Star Game MVP is shooting 65.0 percent from the field and averaging 24.8 points with 9.8 assists during the Clippers' four-game road winning streak over East foes.
"Best point guard in the universe right now," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said.
Clippers guard Jamal Crawford, who scored 23 points on Thursday after missing Tuesday's win over Charlotte due to the birth of his daughter, is the league's best bench scorer with 16.8 per game. He hit four 3-pointers and scored 19 points in the first matchup with Cleveland this season.
http://www.nba.com/games/20130301/LACCL ... 021200869]
damn the bursa sac problem again.... I hope it's not too bad
I'm not sure what to make of this game. We should wipe the court with these guys, but after what happened last time...
I hope Blake's elbow is alright, especially down the final stretch here.
Dion Waiters has been going off lately and I expect him to continue against us. Last time we lost to them it was mainly because of Dion Waiters hitting 3 after 3 and Andy Verajao being the energizer bunny that he is, good thing he's not playing tonight.
If Irving isn't playing we just need to throw bodies at Waiters and that should shut down their offense. Waiters is a chucker but against us last time they all went in!
we need revenge on these guys.
CP3 will win this single-handed if he has to (which he probably won't).
You can tell the last 2 losses irked him. I get the feeling we take it by 15+ and the reserves play the 4th.
Cavs have been winning without kyrie irving
All we need to do is not let Waiters go off and it's an easy win... unfortunately, this is a tall task thanks to our joke of a perimeter D.
They "may" have been winning without him, but their still 4-9 when he doesn't play.
Is he playing tonight? Anybody heard?
They "may" have been winning without him, but their still 4-9 when he doesn't play.
Yeah... squeaked out a win against the Bulls without Rose or Gibson and beat Toronto at home.
Not exactly shredding contenders.
Defend the 3 (unlike the first time), rebound and we should be okay....
Agree. Cj miles and Waiters can be deadly. If Irving doesn't play that would help alot.
ill be pissed if memphis somehow beats miami tonight
Why is Irving questionable for the game?
Hyper extended knee. Per a cavs guy on twitter, Irving is wearing a suite while his teammates warmup. He's out for tonight. We better crush them!
I literally can't name any Cavs players not named Irving. Ao who should we watch out for tonight?
Dion waiters
Waiters and CJ miles.
So if we win tonight and vs OKC we have the 2 seed! I thought we may never catch them. We gotta get it done, no damn excuses.
Denver can beat okc tonight in Denver!
Hell yes they can. Denver always gives OKC problems and beat them last time AND it's in Denver as you said. Please help us Denver.
We're 3 losses behind them and they own the tiebreaker. It'll be a couple of weeks before we catch them, if we do.
Only thing the Clips can control are their own games. Just keep winning at our current 8-of-10 pace or better and we'll be good.
Sunday will be big, though.
If no Kyrie then lets sit Blake. This team can still beat the cavs without Blake I feel.
Luke Walton.
You think I'm joking, but I'm dead serious. Led them to victory in crunch time against Bulls.
Cleepers if we win tonight, they lose.. Then we beat them in LA next week we have the 2 seed by a half game, so no it wont take weeks. Remember H2H counts as a full game in the standings and we are 1.5 back. Only time tiebreaker matters is if we have the same record.
Clippers play the Cavs with Irving and the Grizzlies play at Miami tonight. Who's ready to go 3 games ahead of Memphis?
Yeah, but we're just placeholding until they've played as many games as us. On the evidence of their season, they have over a 70% chance of winning each game. The loss column is the one to watch... because it's the one that counts in April.
Oh I see what you mean. Although it still will be great, especially if we get a streak going and they lose a few.
OKC loss, Memphis loss combined with our win would be amazing.
It could definitely rattle Choke-lahoma city if they see us above them. I'm not convinced of their fortitude.
Let's try to make them nervous, with a little help from the Nugs.
Agreed. Btw I'm very surprised and bummed Ralph didnt interview Livingston on the pregame show.
Hily ****! Livy is starting for Cleveland? Didn't know he was still in the NBA.
Kill this team
Who's Livy?
^ Shaun Livingston. I became a fan his rookie year.
Tragically injured. Broke my heart. Glad he's still in the league.
Shaun Livingston.
Great, I'm stuck with the homer Cavs announcers. Tired of listening to opposing announcers talk about what you should do right against Blake. When Blake takes a jump shot, they cream their pants. "Good defense! That's what you should force him to do!"
Suppose to be 13 points already
I loved Livingston. I thought he had a bright future. He hasn't been the same since. I'm glad he' still in the NBA though
They didnt count the other 3?
I like how the announcer said we can beat the spurs i like him!
lol add Waiters as the next clipper killer
Nevermind Caron didnt make it lol
Why are we letting this scrub team back into the game?
I didnt know livingston still plays
Waiters with 9 points already...
The f***** Cavs analyst whines every time the Clippers make a basket. "You have to do this you have to do that blah blah"

How to Get Your Book Read & Reviewed (or, at least, increase your chances)
One day, I woke up and discovered that I was an Amazon Top Reviewer. This isn't that big of a deal, not to me anyway, but it seems to be for prospective authors looking to get some respectable reviews (I surmise from the increased number of review requests I receive). Since I enjoy reading, I'm inclined to oblige…if certain basic conditions are met first.
This morning, I received a review request which made me think, I should write a blog entry to help other prospective (especially indie) authors not make the same mistakes.
(Email is as-is; edits noted within brackets.)
From: Amazon Author <[REMOVED]@gmail.com>
To: <undisclosed-recipients>
Bcc: email@example.com
Date: Sun, Dec 11, 2011 at 4:53 AM
Subject: Can you please Review my new Romance Novel
I got your Email address from the list of Amazon Top Reviewers.
I hope you will accept my new release on Amazon titled as
"[REMOVED]" which comes under Fiction » Romance » General.
If you think you might be interested in checking out my e-book
and posting an honest review of it on Amazon.
I'll gladly send you link to complimentary copy of my e-book.
Best Regards,
At first glance, you might wonder: What's wrong with that? He seems earnest and polite.
But, if you look closely, you'll notice the flaws:
- The author used a dummy email account and didn't sign his name;
- The author sent a mass mailing likely to all the email addresses he scraped from the Amazon website (the big tip-off was the "undisclosed recipients" with my email as a Bcc)–this is basically SPAM;
- The author didn't take the time to browse through even a few of my book reviews because he would have learned I rarely review general romance;
- The author can barely craft a proper sentence.
Ultimately, by sending this email, he's wasted his time because 99% of the reviewers won't even respond, and the ones who do will probably decline. How do I know this? Reviewers chat, and a few pet peeves often come up.
If you're an author looking to get your book reviewed by any reviewer, here are a few things that might endear her to your cause:
- Make sure your book jives with her interests: Browse through her review history to make sure she even reads and reviews in your genre. If not, move on to the next reviewer. (Proselytizing rarely works.)
- If she has a review policy, read it and abide by it: Some reviewers will tell you in which format they prefer their books, or whether they'll accept review requests at all. If you can't (or won't) meet the posted requirements, move on to the next reviewer.
- Include a brief synopsis of the story: Reviewers are people, too. They have lives filled with obligations likely to include a huge stack of other books to read. They don't have time to read several pages of story overview. As a rule of thumb, the reviewer should have a complete idea of your book in 500 words or less.
- Don't bash your book in an effort to appear self-deprecating: If you don't think your book is worth the read, how can you expect a reviewer to? Make sure your book is as polished as it can be before releasing it into the wild.
- Have a sample chapter or two ready: Assuming your overview hooked the reviewer, rather than have her track down a sample of your book, include a link to it somewhere in your email. Make sure it's an ample sample (1-2 full chapters) and that it's not in some weird proprietary format (eh hem, .mobi or .lit, etc.)–PDF or HTML are generally good options.
- Exclude the author bio unless it's relevant or useful: I don't care how old an author is or where she's from unless it's relevant or can open a dialogue (i.e. a CIA operative that went rogue to pen the world's best novel; or we attended school together; &c.), otherwise, it's just more cruft to read in an otherwise busy life.
- Go the extra mile: Anyone who reads my Amazon profile can learn my first name, and that I'm not a "Mr." , in about 10 seconds if they truly cared to find out. I'm more receptive to the authors who go that extra mile and address me by name, or at least, a proper salutation. Maybe include a personal detail or compliment (I enjoyed your review of XYZ because of ABC). It's small, but can get your foot in the door.
- And, of course, proofread your email: This one should be rather obvious.
I'm not saying that if you do everything on this list that every reviewer you contact will read and review your work, but it might just improve your chances overall.

Date: November 18, 2010
WATERVILLE, Maine --- Colby College senior offensive lineman Nick Steele (Danvers, Mass.) was named to the New England Small College Athletic Conference Football First Team as an offensive lineman as the Mules had five players honored Thursday.
Steele was the lone first team selection for the Mules, who went 4-4 this past season. Senior wide receiver Patrick Burns (Charles Town, W.V.), junior linebacker Tom Duffy (Plymouth, Mass.), sophomore defensive lineman Ryan Veillette (Westfield, Mass.), and sophomore defensive back Derrick Beasley (Andover, Mass.) were all named to the second team.
Steele, a co-captain for head coach Ed Mestieri, helped the Mules have a balanced attack. Colby ranked fourth in the 10-team league in passing offense (240.8 yards per game) and fifth in rushing (114.0).
Burns started his collegiate career as a quarterback, but finished up as an all-conference wide receiver. He was fifth in the conference in receiving yards per game (69.1) and tied for ninth in receptions per game (4.88) with 39 catches for 553 yards and six touchdowns. Burns finished his career with 1,041 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches.
Duffy finished eighth in the NESCAC in tackles per game (8.9) and led the Mules with 62 stops from his spot in the middle of Colby's defense. Duffy also had 6.5 tackles for loss, including one sack. He heads into his senior year with 110 of his 115 career tackles in the past two years.
Veillette did not start at the beginning of the season, but his play on the defensive line quickly earned him a spot. He finished tied for third in the NESCAC in sacks (5.5) and also led the Mules in tackles per game (9.5 for 43 yards). Veillette was fifth on the team in total tackles with 39.
Beasley showed great promise in his first year at Colby and finished his second season as an All-NESCAC selection. Beasley was tied for third in the league in interceptions with three for a return of 59 yards. He was second on the Mules in total tackles with 51, had one sack, and also led the team in pass break-ups with seven.

Chevrolet Malibu Meet the Owners
smoke76 Posts: 9I own 2 malibus, both well over 100k mi., only minor problems with either one, I purchased both with less than 50k mi. on them, I should probably mention one is a 74 2dr and the other a 78 2dr, I guess they dont build' em like they used to. Last year I went through the motor on the 78 out of boredom, 4bbl intake, edelbrock carb, headers, Ill bet I spent less on these items than gm is spending on each one of these steering column repairs, and I can actually see, and feel improvement in my vehicle :shades:
I may not have the mpg the newer models have, but if i break down, i can usually fix it in a few minutes, or most small town parts stores even usually carry what i would need. Hasn't happened yet, but I still have that sense of security.
The 74 starts restoration this winter, weekend cruiser/hot rod toy, cant afford to put gas in it as a daily driver Guess I just want to fancy it up some.
Not the cutest or coolest lookin thing gm ever hatched, probably why it was the last year Malibus were still Chevelles. It would not be the first automotive line ugly ever killed.
found this discussion looking for chevy malibu, guess i need to specify years in my next search.
beebs1 Posts: 1Hello to all. I'm in a quandry here and will listen to any thoughts that anybody might have. I have a good quote on a used '06 Malibu Maxx LT from a dealer. It is silver, has about 16k on it, and is in really great shape. Asking price is $15,995 and I was offered $1000 for my '98 Chevy Prizm Lsi with 136k and a rusty hood.
My heart is out to a Mazda6 i Hatchback that is equivalent to the Malibu Maxx in body style, and is also a used '06 that was a rental agency car. It has 14k on it, and is priced at $18,990. Dealer will thus far only go down to $18,500 and $1,500 on my Prizm trade. This car has the premium sound system (6-disc changer, 7 speaker Bose sound, power sun roof) and is the same color as the Maxx.
Which to go with? Any thoughts out there? I've owned both Mazdas and Chevy Prizms (2 of them now - with not a single engine problem on either.....thank you Toyota!), and the only real advantage to the Maxx for me is that I can get service close to home. The Mazda I have to drive 15 miles into Erie to get service. This shouldn't be my sole criteria, but it's out there with gas prices like they are.
Thoughts? Anyone??
Hi All,
Just purchased an 05 Malibu LS over the weekend. Charcoal gray with remote start and heated seat package. One owner with 19K on it. Picked it up for $13,500. First impressions are smooth ride and very pleasing gas mileage. Couple of questions though. The mpg reading on the highway last night was 38.3. Just how accurate are these readings? Also I noticed that sometimes when I turn the steering wheel I will hear what sounds like a thump under my feet on the drivers side area. Is that some kind of quirk with the electronic steering or does anyone smell some kind of problem showing up? Any comments would be appreciated. Till next time,
assume you have a 4 cylinder....the mileage is usually off 1.5-2.0 mpg in my experience....the thump you hear is inherent to the front suspension and steering on the 04-06 malibus.....there is a recently released TSB addressing it with a fix...if your malibu has a warranty left....go look at the TSB from the dealer....and see if they will apply the fix....

nickrct Posts: 1Hi All,
I purchased a brand new Silver 2006 Malibu SS five months ago, here's my report to date. First off, I got a great deal through the place I work where I was able to get GM Supplier Pricing plus a dealer rebate of $1,500. In all that knocked off about $4,500 off the MSRP. If you are looking to buy a GM vehicle, never go by the sticker price, you can usually get thousands off if you look around for rebates. Also, I kept pressuring with the dealer because I knew wanted the sell and I said I wasn't paying for the XM radio because it was not a feature I wanted. Since he could't find another SS model he bit the cost on that XM receiver. He had also offered free oil changes for 5 years but I swapped that for a $500 dollar gas card instead, because I like to change my own oil.
As for the car, its been terrific. I've already put about 8K miles on it, a combination of Citi and Highway driving. The engine is different from the base 4 banger and the other V6 model I test drove. The 3.9L engine is a romp to drive, The variable valve timing defintely helps...and yes it feels like overkill at times, but being a young driver its a good feeling. The downside is obviously the reduced MPG, I'm averaging about 23-25MPG, which is to be expected by an engine this size. I know some ppl have been complaining about the steering with the other Malibu models but the SS came with power hydraulic steering which has been excellent. Its precise and speed sensitive, so I think the steering problems are restricted to the electronic power steering (EPS) in he other models.
Some of the other Pros:
- The Suspension: Tight and agressively tuned, its not floaty or all and that helps take turns smoothly.
- The Body Mouldings: The spoilers and rocker panels are all different than the normal Malibus' and look terrific.
- The Wheels: This consistently gets comments and remarks from everyone. They are a perfect design for this car I think, the 18 inches are just big enough to draw stares but small enough so that the ride quality isn't affected.
- Easy to maintain: This may be a minor thing for some but for me it was important. The oil pan and filter were easily accessible ensuring that keeping the car maintainted is an easy job. (My old subaru was a pain cuz the filter was inside the wheel well.) Parts for GM cars are also obviously cheaper.
The Cons
- They really should have added an extra gear or two to the transmission. Although there is more than enough power from the V6 to cruise at highway speeds at around 2,000 rpm's...an extra gear would have utilized the engine more efficently.
- The radio controls...lots of buttons,a simpler interface would have helped.
- The leather seats...they have cloth inserts in the middle so techinically its not fully leather...but this could be a good thing also because now that its getting colder I'm glad I'm not freezing my a$$ in the morning on cold leather.
- The wire seatback holders...whats that about?
In all though...I'm quite happy with my SS. It fulfills the rational side of my brain with the power/speed side of my other side.
clarencehollow Posts: 60Well, I have been posting occasionally blurbing about my 2005 Malibu Base I bought in Nov 2004. It has the 4 cylinder and the window sticker said 25 city, 35 highway. I also have seen where many websites list best fuel economy cars but the Malibu was not on there. I wonder why, look at these stats. I just completed a trip from Gulf Shores Alabama (where I am temp. living) to Buffalo NY, about a 1175 mile trip one way. I just got back and averaged 33.7 mpg the whole trip, that is highway and city. About 100 miles from destination back in Alabama, I logged a record 39.9 mpg travelling above 70 mph much of the time. So that means my 2005 Chevy Malibu got 39.9 mpg! I could not beleive how far I went one one tank of gas, and how nice my car was. I also enjoy the replacement Bridgestone Turanza's I put on. They are the best water tire and make the car very quiet. Most people think I have a 6 cylinder.
beflat10r Posts: 2Wow. No posts in here in years. I just traded my 09 Corolla in (good riddance) for a 2010 Malibu LT-1. A Beautiful ride! Beautiful looking too. Very classy.
$1000 offer for trading in my recalled Toyota and $3000 in additional offers, which helped with how upside down I was in the Corolla loan.
djm2 Posts: 705Hi All:
Recently I purchased a new 2010 Malibu 4 cylinder LTZ. This is one of two primary vehicles that I own, (the other being a 2007 Toyota Camry.) ---- Since 1997, I have only purchased Honda Vehicles, because of a "very negative quality experience" with a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and a dealer and manufacturer that did not want to perform powertrain warranty work. (The front end would "HUM" at 55 mph like an "old rear end with 100,000 miles.")
I am VERY satisfied with the quality of the 2010 Malibu. (The "fit and finish" and the performance of the vehicle is simply outstanding.) ------- This vehicle is a "home run" for Chevrolet & General Motors. ------- It is about time that GM manufactured a vehicle as good as a Honda Accord! ------- In about 1 1/2 years, I will be looking to replace my Camry and based on this positive experience, I will be looking at the Chevrolet Malibu, the Chevrolet Impala & the Camry. ----- I would like to see the Impala with a 6 speed automatic transmission. (The Malibu & Camry already has a 6 speed automatic transmission.) ----- GM needs to catch up with the technology!
My dealer for both the Camry and the Malibu is outstanding in terms of service. They treat me in a very professional manner. (Both dealers handle all of my service!)
Best regards to all. ---------------- Dwayne :shades:

Abram Brown, Forbes Staff
I write about people who build businesses.
(See addendum below, which emphasizes that Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza did indeed use a AR-15 rifle.)
Those concerned about the $32 billion firearm industry–gun owners, investors, whatever–should shift their attention from Capital Hill to courtrooms around the country. Potentially damaging gun-control measures seem more likely to come from the country's justices than from its 535 lawmakers.
Two federal appeals courts last week reviewed the legality behind concealed carry laws. In Denver, the court decided that concealed-carry firearms aren't protected by the Second Amendment. A thousand miles away in Chicago, the court reached a different decision. It declined to reconsider a ruling that found that state's ban on concealed carry unconstitutional.
These two courts aren't the first to mull this issue. A New York federal appeals court last November upheld a state law that required concealed-carry applicants to prove "proper cause" to obtain concealed-carry licenses. Looking ahead, appeals courts in California and Virginia are set to review the issue.
Concealed carry laws have been on the rise for the greater part of three decades. They could very well soon stretch nationwide, if Illinois completes its about-face on concealed carry. Not too surprisingly, it's most prevalent in red states, especially so in Georgia, Utah and Florida; in the Peach State, for example, more than 12% of adults 20 and older have an active permit. All told, more than 8 million Americans have one. And not only has the number of licensing states increased in the past ten years (in 2002, seven states including Illinois banned concealed carry), but more and more states are recognizing others' permits, making it practical to become licensed and purchase a weapon.
Gun companies moved quickly to take advantage of this boom, as well as a growing comfort with firearms after anti-gun campaigns of the 1990s. Today, concealed carry weapons–small, compact pistols and revolvers–are one of the most crucial parts of the firearm business. Both Sturm, Ruger and Smith & Wesson sell far more handguns than long-guns; Forbes last year estimated that Ruger's ultra-popular Lightweight Compact Revolver and Lightweight Compact Pistol make up about 17% of the company's sales alone ($55 million). These small firearms are often marketed to women, a particularly fast-growing segment of firearm owners. Ruger even makes LCRs and LCPs models with pink grips.
This is all why the courtroom battle over concealed carry matters much more than whether Congress actually creates legislation that limits semi-automatic rifles (the type of weapon used in the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre). Fact is, gun rights lawmakers are already posturing to declaw any gun law that comes through Congress. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) is set to stand tall in the Senate, and the Republican-dominated House of Representatives would prove hard to sway toward sweeping legislation. It seems pretty safe to assume that we'll continue to be able to stock a large arsenal from a simple stop at Wal-Mart, Dick's Sporting Goods or Cabela's.
A shopping trip that could quite possibly not include any small handguns. What's next in the courts? Contradictory appeal decisions would raise the likelihood that the matter would reach the Supreme Court. It would mark the first time that the nation's highest court would weigh gun control arguments since two blockbuster cases in 2008 and 2010. The earlier case, District of Columbia v. Heller, upheld many 19th century prohibitions on concealed weapons, but also acknowledged that the Second Amendment protects a right to own guns. Then, the court took matters a step forward two years later: In McDonald v. Chicago, it established that state and local laws should also recognize the right to own firearms.
Significantly, McDonald v. Chicago said only that there's a right to keep handguns in the home for self-defense, but not anything about what types of gun control laws violate the Second Amendment. Stopping short there has set up today's brewing disagreement over concealed carry.
Reach Abram Brown at email@example.com.
(ADDENDUM: Sorry, folks, but Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook killer, did in fact use the AR-15 rifle. Here's a link directly to the Connecticut State Police debunking that theory. And if Lanza did use handguns, there's a good chance the weapons may have been models designed to attract concealed carry laws, making the odds of concealed carry bans more likely.)
This is an event that happened in the spring of 2000, when my children were little, we we traveling through the night to Colorado from Kansas my wife and three young girls and I stopped at an I 70 rest stop for a "poddy break" While there, since it was late at night, I waited for my wife and three girls to use the rest room. While in there a strange guy started hanging around the women's side so I asked him whats up. He said that he saw another stranger hanging around so i immediately ran to the doorway and Asked my wife if she was ok? Her voice sounded normal and she said yes, So Still watching the other guy I ran back and retrieve my hand gun AND made sure the dude saw Me stick it in my waist band. when he did he immediately left like his life depended on it and i took down his license plate number. I didn't tell my wife until all were safe in the van. This happens BEFORE the state of Kansas had cch. the year that they legalized cch I applied for mine. I NEVER travel without a hand gun AND NEVER WILL. Was I over reacting? I say no. My family's safety was at stake and my spidey senses where going nuts I never threatened anyone directly BUT made sure the dude new i was ready for whatever. I swear on my mothers life this is exactly what happened. PS The highway patrol was nowhere near and would have taken too long to get there. Even if my cell phone had service at the time.
so call 911 and wait for how long or defend yourself
Thanks for the article Abram. Sorry the discussion got nasty.
To all pro-gun violence crowd – The following from DC vs Heller decision – written by Justice Scalia
# 2. Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court's opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller's holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those "in common use at the time" finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. Pp. 54–56.
Just because the government says it's okay to do things it wants to do doesn't mean it really is.
It would appear the left wants to live in Mexico.
Enter Your Comment Whether you like or dislike the current concealed carry laws/ regulations in this Country is a moot point. Fact is the law allows it. To think that abolishing that right will stop a criminal element from illegally carrying a firearm is silly. The statement of "Let the cops take care of the criminals" is close to one of the most ludicrous statements I have read in a LONG time. The police can not act on supposition or appearance. They must have a tangible amount of fact based probable cause to act, or react to any threat.
As a now retired career Law Enforcement Officer, I "carried" both on and off duty. I do see merit in expanding background checks, but do not see anything proper making gun owners/ gun enthusiasts pay higher fees for permits or taxes to fund these potential draconian measures being paraded about in the press.
There is always Open Carry, which is available in most states. This allows people carry a side arm in plain view of the police, public and criminals. There is no doubt in anyone's mind, you are able to protect yourself.
Doesn't the 2nd amendment state "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"? English language definitions of the words "keep" and "bear" mean that you can have guns in your possession and carry them with you wherever you go. Anything that limits this is an infringement on your 2nd amendment rights. The courts and governments are slowly diminishing your rights by ignoring the constitution.
Taking away concealed carry is another way for craven cowards – legislators and the rich, who have paid bodyguards and armed private security – to try to force the rest of us to be victims.
"if Lanza did use handguns, there's a good chance the weapons may have been models designed to attract concealed carry laws, making the odds of concealed carry bans more likely"
Goes to show that the whole Sandy Hook thing was staged to get Gun control back in the twisted mainsteam meida. Why is it the Red Cross was asking for donations a day or two before it even happened

PSN 2011 Legislative Session Roundup: Broadband
Fabiola Carrion on July 14, 2011 - 11:59am
(Note: With legislative sessions largely adjourned in statehouses across the nation, this week's Dispatch is the first in a series of issue-specific session roundups from Progressive States Network highlighting trends in different critical policy areas across the fifty states.)
The United States lags in 16th place globally when it comes to broadband access, and according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, we also rank among the countries with the highest costs for broadband subscriptions. With one third of the country remaining digitally disconnected, we clearly need to examine and allow alternative models of ownership, technology, economic development, and digital inclusion in our states.
This year, legislation introduced and enacted in statehouses across the nation demonstrated that policymakers understand now is the time to invest in broadband infrastructure in order to rebuild prosperity.
By advancing measures to create and improve existing broadband task forces, expand the build-out of needed infrastructure, support community-based broadband while countering corporate attempts to increase their own profits at the expense of communities, provide more affordable services to unserved and underserved communities, and fight back against the removal of consumer protections, state lawmakers took critical steps forward in ensuring the economic competitiveness of small businesses and the economic security of their residents.
Creating and Improving State Broadband Task Forces
Universal broadband access and adoption cannot occur without having a plan in place and an agenda that addresses each state's own needs. An advisory body must be established to outline state goals in high-speed Internet in order to effectively deploy networks and make sure that communities use them. More than 22 states have created broadband task forces, and even those that already have them are working towards improving their composition to address various concerns of every state's diverse community.
In 2011, Alaska's HB 201 increased the number of duties of its task force, requiring it, among several other obligations, to determine the current level of broadband access in urban and rural areas of the state and to explore ways to encourage state and municipal agencies to expand the development and use of broadband services.
West Virginia improved the composition of its Broadband Task Force through SB 507, which extends the term of the state's Broadband Deployment Council to include members of the administration, unions, telecommunications providers, cable operators, manufacturers, and — notably — representatives from rural communities and higher or secondary education. The enactment of this bill fulfills the need for states to have a diversified membership in their broadband councils in order to ensure that every segment of the population is included in the development of broadband policy.
Improving Broadband Infrastructure Build-Out
As states continue to deal with the fallout of the Great Recession, expanding access to broadband is absolutely critical to creating jobs and rebuilding prosperity. Working families and small businesses alike increasingly depend on broadband in order to succeed in a global economy.
While large for-profit providers continue to ignore many communities where it is not profitable for them to operate, local entities — including municipalities, co-ops, and private non-profits — have thankfully shown leadership in building out this the critical infrastructure. And they have done so on their own, meeting their populations' needs, and even getting ahead of large corporate broadband providers in the quality of service provided. At the same time, corporations interested in protecting their own profits at the expense of the economic health of underserved communities have backed legislation that aims to prevent community-based broadband from taking root.
State Legislation that Supports Community-Based Broadband
Hawaii's SB 1161/HB1342 expedites the deployment of high-speed Internet networks by exempting the construction of broadband infrastructure from certain permitting requirements and reducing the time and costs associated with requests for access to utility poles. The newly enacted law also allows public utilities and broadband providers to recover prudently incurred costs related to the planning, engineering, construction, installation, or replacement of utility poles. SB 1161/HB1342 is an overall win for all broadband providers, but particularly local entities who seek to provide these services to unserved communities.
Similarly, Vermont's SB 78, signed into law by the Governor this spring, gives public utilities the authority to build and own broadband networks and speeds up the application process to deploy this infrastructure. Laws that make it easier to deliver broadband services will benefit consumers by giving them more options when purchasing broadband services.
In Washington State, legislation (HB 1711) was introduced to allow public utilities to own networks and offer broadband services to their already existing consumer base. The legislation was introduced in an attempt to reverse current law, which limits public utility districts from providing wholesale telecommunications services. While HB 1711 did not pass, the bill serves as a model for giving more autonomy to public utilities, enabling them to provide critical broadband services — just as they provide services for electricity and water.
Tennessee's HB 2076 / SB 1847 sought to allow municipalities, non-profits, and other local entities to utilize broadband systems in their operations and to encourage the construction of an advanced broadband system. The bill was introduced by a state legislator representing Chattanooga, a city that owns a broadband network and the first system in the country capable of offering 1 GBPS speeds. This advantage has allowed the city to support greater use of electric vehicles and increased investment in technology and new businesses, attracting employers like Volkswagen, which relocated its North American headquarters to the town in 2008.
Corporate Attempts to Deny Community-Based Broadband in the States
Policies influenced by industry lobbying have created a system where one incumbent Internet Service Provider is given virtually monopolistic control over broadband services in many communities. The results are unserved communities and limited options that make services exorbitantly expensive.
This year, those industry lobbyists have come out in full force in the Carolinas, where bills in both states — HB3508/SB483 in South Carolina and HB129/SB87 in North Carolina — were passed to place onerous requirements for the development of community-based broadband networks, threatening their existence and the economic vitality of the localities where they would operate. Ironically named "Level the Playing Field Bill," these bills pile burdens on municipally owned networks that private providers are not subject to. Further, they demonstrate a direct and persistent attack on communities.South Carolina law already imposes significant restrictions and burdensome procedural and imputed-cost requirements on municipalities interested in building out broadband networks.
InArkansas, HB 2033 completely bars local governments from providing basic local exchange, voice, data, broadband, video, or wireless telecommunication services.
New Hampshire's HB 389 would have also limited municipalities' right to facilitate critical services like broadband. Similar to other states' legislation, this bill placed restrictions on the new build-out of high speed Internet networks.
Affordable Access to Telecommunications Services
Having a plan to deploy broadband networks and giving our communities the authority to allow access is not enough. The adoption of broadband by all members of society is critical to truly achieving an equal playing field, providing opportunities for all, and allowing all communities to fully engage in the democratic process.
The Universal Service Fund is a program created in the 1990s at the state and federal levels that aims to achieve universal access to telecommunications services by providing affordable services to rural residents and low-income families. States have already taken action this year to expand these services.
Oregon's HB 2192 allows the state's Public Utility Commissions to use moneys from the Universal Service Fund to map the availability of broadband at fair and reasonable rates throughout the state. Mapping is an important tool for legislators and local planning groups seeking to evaluate the current status of their states' Internet infrastructure.
Although it was stayed this session, Oregon's HB 2200 demonstrates that states are already thinking about how to reform their own Universal Service Funds to allow access to more telecommunications services for working families. The bill takes a step in the right direction by adding broadband among the subsidized services, including more affordable access to wireless communications. As the bill waits to be reintroduced next year, a plan to allow all local telecommunications providers to receive USF funding would greatly increase competition throughout the state.
Colorado's SB 2, the Low Income Telephone Users Fund, also saved subsidy programs for low-income residents in the state. The bill was passed unanimously by the House and Senate and immediately signed by the Governor.
Removing Protections for Consumers
If curtailing basic rights to collective bargaining was not enough, conservatives in Wisconsin also attempted to reduce broadband access for schools, libraries, and university researchers this year.The proposal would have forced a not-for-profit Internet Service Provider to return $39 million in federal funds that would have wired a large part of the state. Fortunately — after protests from hundreds of Internet, community, and educational groups — the proposed amendment did not pass. The move would have accompanied a new law that deregulates telephone services, increasing phone rates and gutting consumer protections for Wisconsin's working families.
Effective July 1 of this year,Florida's HB 1231 also strips away the Public Service Commission's authority over telecommunication services, including broadband, voice over Internet Protocol, and mobile connections.
Conclusion: Broadband Critical to State Economies
The fate of many states' uncertain economic recoveries depends on investing in 21st century infrastructure like broadband, supporting small businesses, and putting people back to work. No one disputes that technological infrastructure plays a critical role in the public's access to needed services like education and health care and the future of state economies. As Progressive States Network has noted previously, the benefits from broadband are long-term, and as such, the facilitation of Internet services must be seen as part of any comprehensive local economic development strategy.
In 2011, Internet access is no longer a luxury. As articulated in a recent report from the United Nations Human Rights Council, the Internet is truly the "enabler" of other rights, including economic, social, political, and cultural rights. It is therefore imperative that state policymakers step up to guarantee the tools residents of their states need to prosper.

The Sabres have been going well lately. They're 2-0-1 in the last three games, 7-3-2 in the last 12. So are they finally starting to play like people expected all season?
They're about to find out.
The Sabres host Boston on Friday and visit the New York Rangers on Saturday. Boston is second in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers are first.
"Both teams, it's a good test for us," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said after practice today. "It will tell us where we're at."
The Sabres beat the Bruins in the teams' last meeting, a 6-0 thrashing on Feb. 8. Boston arrived in Buffalo today after a 4-2 victory in St. Louis on Wednesday. They will practice in First Niagara Center this afternoon.
"When Boston rolled in here last time around, we knew it was going to be a test," Ruff said. "They had a hard game last night. I thought St. Louis maybe had the edge in play for a lot of the time, but they created a couple big turnovers where they were able to put the puck in the back of the net. They've got good size, they've got good grit."
The Sabres practiced without Brad Boyes. The forward suffered an injury midway through the third period of Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Islanders.
"He's a little banged-up, so we'll have to see whether he can play tomorrow or not," Ruff said. "It happened late in the game. We dealt with it, had treatment on it yesterday, but we'll see whether he can get through it."
Cody McCormick (upper body) practiced in Boyes' spot but is not cleared to return.
Ruff got a chuckle out of the Bruins' Brad Marchand, who today told WEEI radio in Boston that "Buffalo is the worst city in the NHL."
"I just laugh," Ruff said. "I just laugh. It's just another guy that hasn't lived here or been here."

Recently released as a full-length memoir, The Source of All Things was first published as a feature article in BACKPACKER in December 2007. This is the full-text of that article.
Now a full-length memoir, The Source of All Things by Tracy Ross is available from Amazon.com and other booksellers.
I do know that any self-respecting woman would demand her own space. And yet my weakness isn't just a longing for simpler times. As I have learned about my dad's abuse, I've begun to see him in a different light. Once, after a bluegrass show when he imbibed too much, he cried in the car and told me that he would give anything if he could go back and make things right. For better or worse, I believed him. And before all that—before everything—there were the years at Redfish Lake. I hold those early memories carefully, like pressed wildflowers that, if jostled, would crumble to dust.
Still, the tent is an uncomfortable place, and so this too becomes a crime. One of backpacking's greatest virtues is that it makes instant bedfellows out of strangers and friends. When else do we lie under a star-filled sky separated by a few cubic inches of down? In the tents of my past, I have fallen in love and whispered my greatest longings and dreams. My tentmates and I have laughed until we peed our pants, knowing that in the morning, we will have created a shared history at 10,000 feet. Herein lies one of backpacking's true beauties, beyond the stunning vistas and close encounters with wildlife: It creates an intimacy that transcends normal friendship and even eludes some of the best marriages.
This is the first time my dad and I will lie shoulder-to-shoulder since I was a teenager in Twin Falls. I will wear all of my clothes and never really fall asleep.
The next morning, we pack up, eat breakfast, and head back down the switchbacks, which murder our knees. As we walk, my dad fills the silence I create. He reminisces about bird hunting with his friend Gary Mitchell and fishing for the eight-pound trout that used to feed on freshwater shrimp in Richfield Canal.
He sifts through his better memories, until we come to a big log on the side of the trail, where we break out our lunch. Then this:
"I was 16 the first time I killed a deer," he says. A 4-point buck "that would have been an 8-point by Eastern standards" walked into the crosshairs of his gun. When he pulled the trigger, he got so excited he started shaking uncontrollably. It was buck fever, and he had it bad. "You can hardly grab your breath," he says, grinning mischievously. "Just knowing that you can actually kill something, it's the height of excitement. It makes you weak in the knees."
My dad scans the trees, inhales deeply, and smiles. I realize that I haven't seen him in this setting, surrounded by rivers and trees, in years. In 1990, my parents moved to Nevada. They sold the camper and packed my dad's shot-loading equipment in a box. One summer a few years later, he came to visit while I was living in Jackson, Wyoming. He said he'd bring his fly rod and camping stuff. When he arrived, he was under-dressed in a light wind shell and braced himself against the cold. We went to the Snake River and he sat down in a heap.
"Break out your rod, Dad," I said. But he couldn't. He'd forgotten to pack it.
My dad looks up the trail. "I got away from shooting does," he says, "after I killed one with a fawn." The fawn's cries echoed through the South Hills, and he couldn't stand the sound. So he put a bullet in its head.

"It never happened with boys", yet your brother set a cat on fire and threw it in the river? I think you need to talk to your brother about what may have happened to him in secret.
I salute your courage and grace in writing this.
Tracy: I am so sorry for what you have been through. However, I really don't think you should have any dealings with this man. He raped you; a child. There are no excuses. It should negate anything positive he ever did. He belongs in jail, as does your mother and anyone else who knew anything about it. tDo not let him babysit your kids. Do not have anything to do with him.
When I first read this article on the train in 2008, it really hit home. It still hits home. Thank you Tracy for being brave enough to face him and tell the story. I don't feel as alone with the "secret" that I keep.
How could you let him babysit your kids?!!?!?
Great stuff. Saw yr interview and googled this article. Have lived and hiked in AK, CO, ME, where I camped with my prime abuser. Have been working things through with that person past 3 yrs, and writing about it. Helps, and things are better. Keep it up. God bless.
For you who don't think her story shouldn't have been in this magazine, I think things happen for a reason. Maybe her story reached out to someone in need,
Beautiful writing Tracy. I hope you are well.
Congratulations Trace, you finally did it.
The beauty and honesty of Tracy's journey is as breathtaking and awe inspiring as the Sawtooth Mountains themselves. Bravo to this brave author, couragous yet as lovely and delicate as a robin's egg. Her story belongs here because humans and nature go together. Both are as delicate as a spring trillium and as dangerous as an avalanche. Bravo Tracy... Keep writing, it is your gift to others.
Brilliant imagery & searing pain - one of the most well written and touching stories, I've read in a long time.
wretched story, but beautifully written. Really captures the essence of growing up in southern idaho, as well as hiking and camping around red fish lake. I've been gone a long time, and didn't know they had succeeded in getting some salmon back in redfish. Fantastic!
The last reader is right. It deals with an ugly topic. This is story that does not belong here. In fact, it does not belong anywhere. No one should have to tell it. But she did and with grace and courage. Showing how the living a independent and active life outdoors helped her overcome anger and hate. And gave her the strength to confront her former abuser with calm restraint. Thank you, Tracy. I now have a new favorite writer.
I think this is a phenomenal story. Thank you for sharing it. For those who do not think think this magazine is an appropriate place for it- you have a choice. Do not read it.
Congratulations on your win and telling your story. I, too, was a victim of rape and abuse. You are a strong woman, and I wish you respite from the demons.
congratulation. a have spent the last hour reading your essay, written in a foreign language for me.
congrat's on the win this evening. must be something of a mixed experience, but wonderful nonetheless. wish i could read the article in its entirety on Backpacker.com. unfortunately, it seems to be only partially available...at least for my browser. that aside, well done!
This article was really well done, great use of the word maw. With twitter stealing news clips before you can even get a good lead-in sentence, this is how writing is going to need to be in the future. I know what the trails look like but this article is about much more than hiking, great gonzo style.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. —
Joe Rice scored the game-winning goal in the second overtime of Joplin's 2-1 victory Tuesday night at Kickapoo.
Both teams came into the game unbeaten in the Ozark Conference.
"We were playing for not only a possible conference title, but also for a possible No. 1 seed in the district, so there was a lot riding on this game," said Joplin head coach Ed Miller.
"It was a very physical, hard-fought game. Kickapoo went to the Greater St. Louis Classic and beat the No. 4 team in the state (St. Louis University High). This was not just another game."
Joplin, 13-1-1, fell behind 1-0 in the first half, but tied the score early in the second half on a goal that was credited to Will Krolman.
After a scoreless overtime period, the Eagles set up the winning goal. "The ball was played to Garrett Ward in the middle of the field," Miller said. "He made a move and made a guy miss. He played the ball between two defenders to Joe Rice, who put the ball in the net. It was an outstanding effort to finish right there."
Kickapoo outshot Joplin 17-8 and took a 1-0 lead 17 minutes into the game on a goal by Josh McCutchon. Kickapoo led 1-0 at halftime.
"We expected a different formation and they got a goal early," Miller said. "In the second half, we made some adjustments."
The Eagles tied the score four minutes into the second half when a long throw-in into the box to Krolman was deflected into the goal, Miller said.
"From that point on, it was pretty much a back-and-forth game," he said. "Our goalie, Brock Renken, made some huge saves."
Monett 4, College Heights 3
Monett overcame a 3-0 first-half deficit and defeated host College Heights.
College Heights goals by Brantley Gossett, Dalton Zarrabi and Josiah Braeckel gave the Cougars a 3-0 lead in the first 19 minutes. Kellen Grantham assisted on two of the goals and Zarrabi assisted on the third goal.
Monett cut the lead to 3-2 with first-half goals by Misael Cordero and Eddie Acetes, then tied the game early in the second half on a goal by Francisco Morales.
Juan Salas scored the game-winner for Monett at the 68-minute mark.
Neosho 6, Webb City 0
WEBB CITY, Mo. — Neosho broke open a close game with three quick goals early in the second half of their Central Ozark Conference Large Division matchup.
Neosho, leading 1-0, scored on goals by Jacob Humphrey, Dustin Hill and Angel Garcia during a five-minute stretch of the second half.
Taylor Gilliam of Neosho scored the only goal of the first half, then the Wildcats added goals by Juan Casique and Joey Jennings midway through the second half.
Carl Junction 10, Thomas Jefferson 0
The visiting Bulldogs were ahead 7-0 by halftime in hiking their record to 10-4.
Caiton Bandy, a sophomore, sparked Carl Junction with four goals and two assists. Cullen Graham had two assists.
Carl Junction will play Neosho at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday in the Joplin Tournament.
Joplin 5, Carthage 2
CARTHAGE, Mo. — The third-seeded Eagles, avenging an earlier 5-4 loss, prevailed in a team semifinal of the Class 2 District 12 Tournament.
Joplin (11-2) travels to No. 1 Republic at 4:30 p.m. today to determine the championship.
Republic beat fourth-seeded Neosho 5-0 in the other semifinal after the Wildcats advanced by beating Webb City 5-3. Joplin and Republic will be meeting this season for the first time.
Joplin, against Carthage, received singles wins from Paula Lanta, Laela Zaidi, Sarah Ingle and Gretchen White. Lanta and Zaidi also won at No. 1 doubles.
Kaley Ledford and Brooks Renken posted singles wins for Carthage.
Said Joplin coach Sean McWilliams: "The difference from our earlier match was our play at No. 5 and No. 6 singles."
Joplin tops Mustangs
Joplin swept past McDonald County 25-11, 25-14 in a nonconference match at the Joplin 9th & 10th Grade Campus.
Erin Lawellin led the Eagles with 14 serve points, 20 assists and four digs, and Olivia Hampton had nine kills and two blocks.
Alicia Ballard led McDonald County with five points.
Carl Junction downs Lamar
LAMAR, Mo. — Katie Wiele led Carl Junction past Lamar, 25-12, 25-7 in a Big 8 Conference matchup.
Wiele had seven points and 13 digs as Carl Junction improved to 3-0 in the conference. Katelyn Luce had three points and eight digs for Lamar.

Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus line is adding nonstop service between the new Culver City Expo Line station and both UCLA and downtown Santa Monica, the agency announced this week.
A new route, called the Rapid 20, will link the Culver City train station to two stops in downtown Santa Monica. The fare on this line will be $1 each way, 50 cents less than the normal Big Blue Bus fare.
MTA bus line 534 also serves the freeway route between Culver City and Santa Monica, and continues on to Malibu. Express bus service between the Culver City train station and the UCLA bus terminal in Westwood will be added via a new route called Rapid 12, the Big Blue Bus agency said.
The changes take effect Aug. 26.

Original recipe yields 4 burgers
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
- Mix together the ground beef and roasted garlic. Form the mixture into four balls, and flatten into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the patties with garlic pepper, lemon salt, and Cajun seasoning.
- Lightly oil the grilling surface. Place onions on the grill, and toast on both sides. Place beef patties on the grill, and set the onions on top of them. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. If you're lucky (or trashy) enough to still have a coffee can of grease on your stove, brush both sides of the Hawaiian rolls, then toast them on the grill.
- To assemble, place the patties on buns, and top with slices of American and Edam cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and your choice of condiments such as ketchup, Creole mustard, and salad dressing. These listed are some of mine.

I used a whole head of roasted garlic and mixed the seasoning right in (garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper and steak seasoning instead of the Cajun). Skipped the sweet onions. Made the burgers smaller and used regular hamburger buns (never seen the Hawaiian rolls around here). Topped my burger with processed cheese, Emmenthal, lettuce, regular tomato, pickles, Dijon, mayo & ketchup. I did my best to stay true to the recipe. These are a handful and a mouthful, but so tasty! It does need to be seasoned a little more, and maye use raw garlic instead, as it was way to mellow to taste in my opinion after being roasted then cooked in the burger. Served this with "Spiced-Up Grilled Tater Wedges" from AR.
These aren't too bad. The recipe looks like alot, but it really isn't. Not too bad.
We thought these were DELICIOUS (and messy, lol)! I have to admit, while I did use all the ingredients called for, I didn't measure, but used them more or less 'to taste', like more roasted garlic, spices and so on... I realized too late that I didn't have any gas in my grill, so I used the Goerge Foreman. Because of that I sauteed my onions in a pan, and then put them on top of the burgers after they were cooked. This does seem like a long list of ingredients, but these really do come together easily. I will definately be making these again, hubby already informed me of that, lol! Thanks for sharing. :)
