CrockPot Mashed Potatoes with Cream Cheese and Sour Cream Recipe
Day 320.
psst. Make these potatoes. You won't be sorry.
This is one of those recipes where I wonder if the crockpot is really necessary, or is it just being used to keep the potatoes warm. You have to use the stove to boil the potatoes, and then you smash them with the cream cheese and the sour cream.
I suppose you could argue that the crockpot isn't necessary, but I used it. Because it makes me happy, and that's what I do.
These potatoes are too good to not share, and I'll let you be the judge about whether or not the crockpot is a necessary tool.
The Ingredients.
--5 pounds of red potatoes
--1 block of cream cheese, room temperature (8 oz. I used light)
--1 cup sour cream (I used light)
--1 chicken bouillon cube (EDIT: in the photo up above I used Knorr, which does contain MSG. I have since learned about Better than Bouillon, which I can find in my local grocery store and is MSG-free.)
--1/2 cup of water, reserved from boiling the potatoes
--1 tsp garlic powder
--1 T dried parsley
The Directions.
Wash and peel the potatoes, leaving the skin on some if desired. Cut in quarters to quicken boiling time. Put the pieces into a large pot and cover completely with water.
Bring the potatoes to a boil on the stove top. Boil rapidly for 10-20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
Scoop out 1/2 cup of the water from the pot. Add the bouillon cube to the water. Drain the potatoes, and return to pot.
Open the cream cheese and put into the pot with the hot potatoes. Add sour cream. Pour in the water with the bouillon cube, also. Add the parsley and garlic powder.
Mash with a potato masher. If you don't have a masher, the way that I seem to not, you can use a wire wisk. It'll work just fine.
After smashing well, scoop the potatoes out of the pot and place into a 4 to 6 quart crockpot. Cook on high for 2 hours, or on low for 4. Can be kept on warm indefinitely. After two hours on high, my potatoes got a bit crusty on the top and edges.
They were divine.
The Verdict.
So very good. My kids seemed to have thought that these were spicy (makes no sense whatsoever) and weren't thrilled with the bits of skin I left on. I like a bit of skin, and so does Adam, but apparently the kids find it highly offensive.
I gave a quart to our friends, and they loved them. I will make these for Thanksgiving.

I am thinking that you could actually bake the potatoes in the crock and then mash them in there and add the rest of the ingredients.
I actually made something very similar yesterday and totally meant to try that idea in the crock but forgot until it was way too late.

I learned last year at Thanksgiving that the beauty of the crockpot mashed potatoes is that you can make them a head of time and then reheat them in the crockpot without anyone knowing that you made them in advance. Usually, mashed potatoes are one of those foods that always taste leftover when not piping hot from the stove, but not when you use the crockpot to reheat them. This is the recipe I used from my friend Barb.

i think it's hilarious that your kids found them spicy when there's not any spicy spices in them.
and that happened to my computer a few days ago!! i couldn't put pictures on without it freezing and there were no font options for some reason. damn blogger.

Thank you for posting this, I'm going to make them for Christmas! Anything to make it easier and I love mashed potatoes.
My kids think everything is either spicy or sour when they really aren't!

I'm gonna try the crockpot with this one! One of our children has dairy allergies so I usually make something similar with Soy cream cheese and sour cream, can't tell the difference!

While I've never used a crock pot, these are known around my family as "April's Mashed Potatoes" because this is how I make them. YUM!!! :) They are heaven on a spoon.

DO NOT use baked potatoes (from the oven or even the crock pot) for your mashed potatoes. For one thing crock pot baked potatoes are good and convenient but do turn a funny color and if you have ever noticed baked potatoes are not evenly cooked and will leave you with strange strange mashed potatoes (this is experience speaking here.)
Martha Stewart had an entire "how to" on mashed potatoes this week. One of her ideas for make ahead potatoes was too reserve some of the liquid and keep the rest of stuff warm over a double broiler and pour the liquid over the top to keep them from drying our or creating a crust. Then, just before serving mix it all together just before serving. I that is a great place to use the crock!

I LOVE mashed potatoes. These look great. I have also used cream cheese with chives and veggie cream cheese. The veggie cream cheese is really yummy.

We've had good luck with crockpot potatoes by cooking them in water (or stock) on high for several hours, then using an immersion blender. After that, add the other ingredients.
I used this technique successfully for potato soup last week. Mmmmm.

Hi, I found your blog a while ago and love it. I love cooking with a crock pot and have a few people I 'coach' nutritionally and am always telling them crock pot cooking is a great way to prepare meals that can be placed in the freezer for the week. Thanks for so many new recipes.

Oh, Crockpot Lady...I know you are doing this on purpose, putting up all the recipes I need for Thanksgiving, but I only have ONE crockpot! Oh dear, must beg, borrow, or steal(not!) some more so my entire countertop can be full of good things in crocks!!

Oh yes, I do mashed potatoes in my Crock Pot all the time. I cook the potatoes in the CP, then drain and mash them right back in the Crock Pot. I am going to try this recipe but think I will cook the potatoes in chicken stock and then save what isn't used for mashing for soup. This will be wonderful for Thanksgiving. I use several CP's for our meal so it is all ready when we get home from church--and only the turkey needs the oven.

I use this recipe and make the potatoes 2-6 weeks in advance of Thanksgiving day. When I freeze it, I put it in a 5 quart ice cream bucket. I can then pop it out and it fits right in the crock-pot. It thaws overnight on the counter and then I turn it on in the morning. I stir it real well once it is heated through and then I dot the top with butter. Last year for 15 people, we needed TWO crock pots full!
- November 15, 2008 at 11:58 AM
Yes, a crockpot is essential to this recipe because that is the only way mashed potatoes do not turn out to be a last minute ordeal. I have done it like this for years, you can even have the kettle washed and serve from the crockpot, it keeps the potatoes nice and warm.

A friend turned me on to this site and I just bought a new crockpot yesterday. My first one I believe was defective so I was turned off by the whole crockpotting thing but decided to try again. I am already bummed that the year is coming to a close and thus the end of "A year of crockpotting" You have some wonderful looking recipes on your site that i can't wait to try!

I saw a recipe like this on another blog...they called it "Fat Potatoes." LOL! Truly, if I had any potatoes and cream cheese, I would make this. Right now. (I'm pregnant and compulsive about food.)All I have is the sour cream...Unfortunately, my kid won't eat potatoes, especially mashed, so I don't keep a lot of potatoes around.
Also, my son calls everything spicy. It's weird.
- November 15, 2008 at 3:04 PM
On Thanksgiving, we always cook and mash our potatoes early. Also make our gravy early. Each stays warm in individual crock pots. My husband grills the turkey and we have it sliced and warm in yet another crock pot! (We are a multi-crock pot family and hubby's mom, who is just down the road, has two more.) This all streamlines those last 30-40 minutes prior to serving Thanksgiving guests. Plus, the dirty prep dishes are already washed and put away long before we sit down to eat. MKW
- November 15, 2008 at 3:20 PM
I often bake or boil potatoes in the crockpot - just do it the same as you would on the stove and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Makes Thanksgiving dinner a PIECE OF CAKE! (or pie, whichever you like)
- November 15, 2008 at 3:32 PM
Oh, just a note: DON"T put mashed potatoes in the crock and leave it on low all day - they turn to water!!! (Yes, I've done that!)
- November 15, 2008 at 3:35 PM

OK, I made these for church tomorrow. I increased the water to 1 cup and used the electric beaters to whip 'em. Very yummy!

My family and I completely love your blog. I feel that I am constantly telling folks about this blog. Our favorits had to be your indian dishes. We make a modified curry crockpot that my wife and I love. You have done a great service for my recipe collection , and i can't wait to try these.

my kids when they were little used "spice" to describe anything they thought had too strong of a taste. eating a hot peppermint, for example, and then fanning their tongues with their hands, saying "too much spice!"
- November 16, 2008 at 8:20 AM
I have made a recipe very similar to this in my crock pot before and it is delicious for sure!
I have a friend who minces celery, green onion and peppers into hers. Sounds strange, but it is yummy!

So how many servings would you say you get from using 5 pounds of potatoes?
- November 16, 2008 at 11:35 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Catherine, I'd say 12-14 adults. We're having 20 over on Tday (6 kids), and I'm not going to alter the recipe at all.
- November 16, 2008 at 11:54 AM

Well, I made 1/3 of your recipe since I only needed to feed three adults. It was very good! Definitely a recipe I will use again!

I think garlic may be the 'spicy' flavour your kids are referring to. Most children seem to like fairly bland food.

I like the skin too. Is this similar to P-Dub's recipe? Cuz I tried it last year and it was perty darn tasty. Took a long time though.

- Lacey said...
OK, so you actually cook the potatoes in one pot, then mash them with all your ingredients, then "cook" them in the crockpot for another 2-4 hours? Why? You're essentially done when you mashed them with all the ingredients. Unless you're planning on keeping them warm for a party or something, this just seems like a huge waste of energy.

- GrammaMack said...
I've been making a similar recipe from a Company's Coming cookbook for years. Five pounds potatoes peeled and boiled, 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup butter, 1 T onion salt, salt and pepper, all beaten until smooth and fluffy, then put into a casserole, dabbed with butter and sprinkled with paprika, and refrigerated until needed, then baked. I'll have to try using the crockpot instead. They're our "special occasion potatoes" and always a hit!

- Karyn said...
I made these for Thanksgiving and they were a huge hit with my dinner guests! So much so, that I'm sending them the link to this recipe right now!
I still have some leftover, which I plan to use for a shepherd's pie tonight. These were some of the best mashed potatoes I have ever tasted. And not one drop of butter in them! Amazing!

Huge hit at our Christmas turkey dinner this year! This will be mandatory mashed potatoes from now on they were awesome!thanks for a great recipe
- December 28, 2008 at 2:49 PM
I have a question, oh CrockPot Guru! I made these potatoes last year for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and they were a BIG hit! For me, the sour cream made them taste, well, a bit sour for my liking. For Christmas I tried using less sour cream, but it still had the sour taste to me; apparently noone else either noticed or minded. Do you think it would be okay to omit the sour cream all together, and should I add more cream cheese or maybe some milk? Looking forward to another great CrockPot holiday season!! <3
- November 7, 2009 at 4:47 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Krys, that should be just fine! Adding a bit more cream cheese instead of the sour cream will keep the moisture/cream level correct, and will keep the sour flavor away.

Im thinking of making these for thanksgiving but wanted to make them ahead of time. if I make them the day before, how long do you think i would need to have them in the crockpot the day of? I love your site, ive tried a few recipes and so excited to try more, crockpot is the best invention!
- November 23, 2009 at 7:06 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Angie,
These potatoes are wonderful! I'd suggest making the potatoes the day before, then heating them up to the proper temperature on the stove top or in the microwave, then put the hot potatoes into the slow cooker on warm to keep them hot until serving time. If you put the cold potatoes in to get up to temp on T-Day, you risk having the potatoes continue to cook on the edge, and could have possible burning.
The warm setting of the slow cooker will stay on for 12 hours, so you can certainly heat the potatoes in the morning so you aren't rushed, then have them ready in the slow cooker. Give a quick stir before serving.
xoxo steph

This is just great! I'm in charge of the mashed potatoes this year and I'm going to try this recipe. I need to make 10 lbs and i'm going to add two heads of roasted garlic to it. Thanks for the recipe!

I made these potatoes on my stove top last year for thanksgiving and this year the family DEMANDED them. I cant wait. They are creamy and delicious!!!
- November 25, 2009 at 7:03 AM
- tastefully.julie said...
I make these every year at Thanksgiving and they are the best, hands down.
To the person who said it seems like a waste to put them in the crock pot since they are done once they are mashed, trust me, it isn't. Not only are they not hot enough after you've finished mashing them, but they take on a whole new level after 3 hours in the crock pot. They bake up and get delightfully fluffy and rich. Plus they are steaming hot when they come out.
Any longer than 3 hours though, even on warm, and they start to burn on the edges. I made that mistake once :(

I made these today and served with the cranberry roast (http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2009/12/supuer-simple-cranberry-roast-beef-or.html). Paired well. Used plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream, but they're about the same. They are delicious, but if I made them again I'd go with some low fat ingredients so I could eat without guilt.
- February 14, 2010 at 9:43 PM
My daughter had been requesting mashed potates, so I made half the recipe on the stove top and threw in a turnip, some cauliflower and some rutabaga in addition to the potatoes. I used light cream cheese and Greek yogurt and instead of chicken bouillon I just used a few spoonfuls of chicken broth.
- November 23, 2010 at 12:42 PM
I made this for Christmas eve this year and it was SOOOO good! I did put it in the oven, rather than the crockpot, since my corckpot was busy with your Holiday Wassail recipe (also good). I buttered a casserole dish, and plopped the potatoes in there. I cooked them at 350 for an hour and they were nice and crusty around the edged.
I also added a while bulb of roasted garlic (rather than the powder).
These are a lifesaver on holidays, so you don't have to spend as much time in the kitchen (especially at the end mashing potatoes!)

I'm being adventurous today. I plan to cook 3 lb sweet potatoes in the CP (in water), drain/mash/mix, then keep warm till dinner. My recipe uses milk, so I hesitate to actually set it on low for too long. But I am VERY excited to see if it works, making only the CP dirty and not any extra pots!

I am not fond of sour cream, so I substituted yogurt (homemade in my crock pot, of course!) Very yummy!

I made these today for Thanksgiving and they were a big hit with the in-laws. They were in the crock pot (on warm) from 10:30 a.m. until dinnertime at 5pm and they were just perfect. Thanks for the recipe!

Can you freeze these? If so, what is it best to freeze in and whats best way to thaw? Just an option for you or idea... I had to do low carb for awhile (I know you do GF but might still like this) and would go to my local asian market or wherever I could find them and get Daikons. They are kind like a turnip and potato combo fun to mess with if you want to change up the potato thing.
- September 20, 2013 at 6:39 PM

Hi Jody, yes, you can freeze the already-cooked potatoes just fine!

The United States Internal Revenue Service has issued a consumer alert, warning Carbon County residents to avoid falling victim to a new scam targeting potential recipients of the advance child tax credit.
The IRS has confirmed several instances of the scheme.
A taxpayer receives a telephone call from a person who promises to speed up the payment of the advance child tax credit checks, pointed out the federal agency.
The catch is the taxpayer must agree to a $39.99 charge to a credit card.
The IRS reminds Carbon County residents that no person or organization can speed up the payment of federal income tax benefits.
In reality, taxpayers do not have to take any action to receive the new benefit.
The child tax credit features an advance payment for up to $400 per qualifying youngster.
The U.S. Treasury Department and IRS will perform all the calculations and automatically mail a notice along with a check to all eligible taxpayers, starting the week of July 25.
"The only thing the taxpayer needs to do is cash the check," explained Mark Everson, IRS commissioner. "If you qualify, we will send you a notice."
"There's no need to call, no need to apply, no need to fill out another form.The IRS will do all the work. A few days after the notice, you will get the check," added the federal agency representative.
Responding to complaints involving the new scam, the IRS is seeing the continuation of a trend that emerged earlier in the year when the families of people serving in the U.S. Armed Forces were targeted.
In both of the schemes, scam artists use current events to prey on unsuspecting victims, stressed the federal agency. The scams also feature callers seeking credit card information to get taxpayers to pay for special benefits.
If the taxpayer agrees to the charge and provides a credit card number or other sensitive personal information, she could find a much larger charge to her account.
By the time U.S. citizens realize something is wrong, the scam operator is long gone, possibly victimizing another taxpayer.
The federal agency encouraged Carbon County residents who encounter the child credit scam or suspect tax fraud to contact the nearest Internal Revenue Service office.
And when in doubt, residents should seek help from the IRS or a tax professional, pointed out the federal agency.
Carbon County residents may call the IRS tax fraud hotline toll-free at 1-800-829-0433.

WEST CARTHAGE With no comment during the public hearing, permission was granted for a minor subdivision on Middle Road during the town of Champion Planning Board meeting Tuesday.
The subdivision was requested by Marvin and Diane Micek in order to pass a portion of their property to their son Lance. The board also approved a site plan application for the younger Mr. Micek and his wife April to build a repair shop on the vacant property.
Planning board Chairman Peter J. LaBarge told Mr. Micek that he may receive a bill from the town because when agricultural land is sold, the town can reclaim tax credits.
Mr. Micek now owns and operates Lances Repair out of his Route 3 Herrings home but has outgrown the location. In addition to the automotive repair, Mr. Micek competes in tractor pulls and wants to construct a garage to accommodate the tractor trailer he uses to haul his pulling tractor. He plans to construct a 75 by 48 foot garage with a 15 foot ceiling.
With adjustments made to lighting, the driveway and parking, the town Planning Board gave its approval and will send the documents on to the Jefferson County Planning Board for review.
Im happy with it, Mr. LaBarge said. The county will be looking at the impact on the area. I dont foresee any problems with the county.

Our chops, purchased from a fancy Manhattan butcher, cost $400 and were by far the most expensive part of this wedding menu. Sounds like a lot, we know, but just think what a caterer would charge.
Charmoula is a fragrant, spicy Moroccan marinade and sauce often used with fish and seafood.
YIELD: To make 6 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 1/2 hr
TOTAL TIME: 3 1/2 hr
- 3 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks

- 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped garlic (1 large head)
- 100 lamb rib chops, frenched to the eye (about 17 pounds frenched)
- 4 cups chopped fresh cilantro (4 large bunches)
Break cinnamon sticks into 1-inch pieces and finely grind in batches in an electric coffee/spice grinder with coriander, cumin, and cloves. Stir together with paprika and cayenne.
Stir together 1/4 cup oil and 1 tablespoon garlic in a large bowl and add 25 lamb chops, tossing to coat. Season with salt and toss with 1/4 cup spice mixture and 1 cup cilantro to coat. Transfer coated lamb to sealable plastic bags and coat remaining meat in same manner. Marinate, chilled, at least 2 hours.
Prepare grill.
Season lamb with salt and grill in batches on an oiled rack about 4 minutes on one side, then 2 minutes on the other for medium-rare. (Alternatively, broil lamb under a preheated broiler 2 to 3 inches from heat.) Serve lamb warm or at room temperature.

I'm posting to track my repair. The symptoms appear to be common with this model, where the freezer appears to be functioning fine, but the fridge compartment isn't cooling at all. Searching around I found this post for my model http://appliantology...bs-not-cooling/ which suggests that the evaporator fan might be clogged with ice. This would make sense since I recall not long ago the sound of what my best guess would be a fan banging against an object at high speed (loud grinding). My guess is that eventually the fan seized. I unplugged the fridged and cleaned the inside. There was a strong smell of rotten milk coming from the fridge when it was off, so I made sure to do a thorough job.
Removing the front panel (part 36) was a bit of a pain as I had to wedge the side of the fridge open with a screw driver to allow it to come out. Once out I noticed what appears to be sludge or mold underneith. Here is a picture.
I carefully removed the foam covering the evaporator coils after removing some clear tape holding it down, trying to be careful not to break the foam. I powered on the fridge and observed the fan spinning without issues. I'm fairly certain I couldn't hear it spinning when the fridge was warm, so it's likely that the problem resolved itself with just melting everything in the unit.
My next steps are to clean everything to get rid of the sludge and put everything back together. Hopefully the defrost timer isn't broken, and this is a simple repair. The question I have is:
1. Is there anything else I should do while I'm in here?
2. Do you spot anything else wrong that I need to take a look at, or is there anything else I should test?
3. What is the name of the tape that is holding down the foam, and is it important I use that tape to seal it?

Alternative Options for Health: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Certified Physician Assistant Beth Mulligan has been practicing Western medicine for 25 years. While training at Duke University, she developed a personal interest in martial arts, yoga and meditation and became a black belt in tae kwon do. Flash forward two decades, and Mulligan has combined her vocation with her passion to bring the first mindfulness-based stress reduction program to the Coachella Valley.
Today, Mulligan uses stress reduction to help patients with a variety of conditions, including Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, post-traumatic stress disorder, heart disease and back problems. Mulligan sees dramatic transformations in some patients during her eight-week sessions held at Eisenhower Medical Center. For example, a 55-year-old executive who had undergone recent back surgery was dealing with chronic pain. Mulligan believes the stress of his job was contributing to his discomfort. After just a few weeks of yoga and other stress-relieving techniques, he is nearly symptom-free.
Mulligan's stress-relieving techniques include meditation and what she describes as "mindful eating." "In class we try to pay attention to those little voices in our head and figure out what they're all about," she says. "We do that through meditation."And, what about mindful eating…? Mulligan explains, "We slow down enough to slowly eat one raisin." While she is trying to teach people to savor every moment, slow down and relax, one of the beneficial side effects is that people often lose weight.
The relaxation exercises such as mindful eating and meditation are accompanied by lectures on communication, re-evaluating personal and professional relationships, and honing in on lifestyle changes regarding diet and exercise.
"People may come in for high blood pressure or headaches, but what they get from it in addition to relief from their symptoms is they just start to enjoy life more," says Mulligan. "I ask them after a couple of weeks, 'How's your headache?' and they just look at me blankly because they forgot that's why they came. That's really cool."
STRESS REDUCTION COURSE: An introductory lecture about the course will be held on September 18. The eight-week session begins September 25. Two-hour lectures are held once a week, with an additional all-day Saturday session. Compact discs are included for home practice. The cost is $225. Call 760-568-1234 for registration.

With over 30 J.P. Morgan OEIC funds and over 20 investment trusts to choose from you can create an investment strategy to pursue capital growth or a regular income. The key is to select the right balance of funds to help you achieve your individual investment objectives.
If you are looking to protect your money from inflation or to build up a nest egg, you will need to seek out funds that can help grow your savings over time.
Equity funds are traditionally used for capital growth as investing in the stock market has historically delivered strong long-term returns and protected savings from inflation.
When choosing a fund to deliver capital growth, you should ask the following questions:
Some funds make regular payouts, which can help if you're looking to use your savings to supplement your income.
Traditionally, bond funds have been a popular way to generate a regular and attractive income from investments. However, equity funds and multi-asset funds can also help supplement your income needs.
An income approach may be right for you if you're in, or are approaching, retirement and want to use your savings to cover the cost of living. Investing for income could also be a good approach if you need to pay school fees or meet other regular expenses.
Investment income can also be reinvested and compounded over time to boost capital growth.
Factors to consider when selecting an income fund include:
Bond funds Equity funds Multi-asset funds
You may want to produce an attractive regular income while ensuring that your savings still benefit from the potential for long-term capital growth.
Growth and income strategies may appeal to many investors. For example, if you are in early retirement but still waiting to buy an annuity you may need to generate an income from your pension savings while protecting your capital from inflation.
Some funds are specifically designed to produce growth and income, while you can also construct a diversified portfolio of equity and bond funds to achieve a good balance between growth potential and income generation.

The U.S. Supreme Court in 2010 held major portions of the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Act of 2002 an unconstitutional abridgement of the First Amendment's guarantee of "the freedom of speech." On Monday of this week, the Court also held a state law to be in violation of the same Bill of Rights guarantee, despite an attempt to justify it with the same high purpose the federal law proclaimed: an attempt to eliminate the corruption of elections by moneyed interests.
In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled Arizona's 1998 Citizens Clean Elections Act unconstitutional because its effect, and its all but certain intent, is to punish candidates who spend their own or privately donated money on campaign advertising beyond the level of the public funding available to all candidates. Expenditures of private funds by a candidate triggered an increase of public funds to the candidate's opponent or opponents, who would receive the extra money without having to go through the work of soliciting it. Spending by independent groups supporting a privately financed candidate also triggered matching donations of public funds to opponents, despite Court rulings that independent expenditures are core political speech and do not give rise to corruption.

The proposed pilot study will begin to assess whether driving impairments are included in the functional deficits associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). This will be completed by obtaining data on velocity, collision risk, and visual attention of subjects with ASDs who drive in a simulator. The study includes 2-3 visits for the screening period (approximately 6 hours of assessments) and one driving simulation visit (approximately 2.5 hours). The investigators expect to enroll 20 adolescents and adults (ages 16-50, inclusive) who have been identified as having an ASD from a prior diagnosis or participation in community conferences for individuals with ASDs.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The families of miners lost in the Crandall Canyon disaster have chosen Karen Templeton of Spring Glen to create a monument honoring the men in Huntington.
The selection was made during a meeting last week in which officials and the miners' families came to a consensus on the project.
Michael Mower of Utah Governor Jon Huntsman's office officiated the meeting. He stated that the group had concentrated on the on the artists who showed an interest in the project.
Templeton is known for various creations throughout the area. Her paper sculpture hangs in the foyer at the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum and she has a large glass and metal sculpture in a park in Grand Junction, Colo.
Three years ago, the local artist was commissioned to do a bust of Senator Bob Bennett and it was presented to him during the rural business conference in Price.
During last week's meeting, Mower introduced Sheila Phillips who lost her son, Brandon, in the initial cave-in at Crandall Canyon.
Phillips presented an idea for the monument that would stand in Huntington Canyon. She suggested that six stones be placed as an area where the families of miners trapped underground could engrave something they wanted on the surfaces.
Also, three benches would have the names of the rescuers who were killed during the rescue attempt. A site will later be determined for the monument.
"The cement and the form work for this project has already been donated," said Phillips. "The stones are three feet high and four feet wide."
Phillips said the families will be able to put whatever writing they would like on the individual monuments.
Organizers want the monuments to be the same, but different. They also want a picture of the fallen miners on the stones.
Mower told the attendees at the meeting that Gary Arrington is setting up an account at Desertview Federal Credit Union to keep all the funds for the monument in one place. A check presentation will take place sometime in January.
The attention of the group then turned to selecting an artist for the monument that will be in in Huntington along the road near Canyon View Junior High.
"This was not an easy decision," said Mower. "All of the artists have put a lot of time, effort and dedication into their concepts. The families want everyone to know they are donating $15,000 to go toward the monument."
"The monument will be here long after all of us are gone," continued Mower. "They have decided to split up the projects. The project up the canyon will be spearheaded by Sheila Phillips and we will go with her design. The project in Huntington will be completed by Karen Templeton. Her Heroes Among Us design has been chosen along with the encouragement to work with some of the other artists on this project."
The four artists who were under consideration were Templeton, Gary Prazen, Elise Lazar and Eldon Holmes.
Templeton said on Wednesday that she was very honored that they had picked her.
"I got the idea for this monument while I was sitting at the breakfast table one morning while the whole tragedy was going on," explained the Spring Glen artist. "It didn't matter if I was 20 or 200 miles away, there was nothing I could do to help. But you can always give something."
"I kept thinking if they didn't get them out, what would the families have to remember them. What would they have to touch?" added Templeton.
With the aim of having the project completed by the first part of August 2008, Templeton has a big job to do.
The local artist has already rounded up sub-contractors to help with the monument concrete, electrical and landscaping.
The monument will be 16 feet long and six feet tall, representing a lot of concrete and bronze to erect in a mere nine months.
"Doing relief sculptures of their faces is much harder than doing a 360 representation," pointed out Templeton. "In a relief, an artist has to convince people that there are curves in the moldings that aren't there. The project will only work if the faces on the monument look like the miners."
The monument will have molded concrete with bronze reliefs.
Templeton indicated that one of the goals of the monument's dedication is to get all the media that covered the tragedy to come back to cover the unveiling.
"Mining is very dangerous and we think that kind of an event will keep the idea of mine safety in front of the public's eyes," concluded the Spring Glen artist.

POTSDAM - The Potsdam Central boys hockey team bounced back from a pair of tough weekend losses to Massena by pulling away to a 6-1 NAC decision over Norwood-Norfolk at Pine Street Arena on Wednesday.
With the win, the Sandstoners improved to 9-2 in the Division I standings, one point behind Massena which closed out its regular season with a 9-2-1 record. Potsdam will look to claim sole possession of the NAC Division I banner in its regular season finale on Friday at home against OFA starting at 7:45 p.m.
We came out and had a great first period then I thought we had a bit of letdown in the second but overall, this was a nice win for us, said coach Al Benda. We put ourselves in position to win the league but we know its going to be a tough game against Ogdensburg.
The trio of Trevor Keleher, Chad Varney and Robbie Scott produced the majority of the offence in the win over the Icemen. Keleher scored three of the four goals fashioned by the Sandstoners in the first period then struck for a fourth late in the second to spark the win while Varney finished with a goal and four assists after closing out the scoring off an assist from Scott with 1.7 seconds left in the middle period. Scott wound up with four helpers as well while Connor Warden accounted for the other goal for the Sandstoners assisted by Cody Compeau and Josh Locey.
Austin Cousineau netted the lone goal for N-N at 9:35 of the second period assisted by Brandon Short and Zeb Brown, cutting the deficit to 4-1 before Keleher and Varney put the game out of reach with their goals in the final 18 seconds of the middle frame.
Keleher opened the scoring just 4:33 into the game from Scott and Varney then connected from Varney a minute later for what would hold up as the game-winner.
Devon Crary handled 24 shots backstopping the win while Brandon Richards recorded 23 saves in the loss.
The Sandstoners improved to 13-6 overall heading into their showdown against OFA while the Icemen (9-8-2, 7-7) are slated to close out the season on Saturday on the road against Division II rival Tupper Lake.
The other NAC boys hockey action on Wednesday saw Salmon River notch a 4-3 overtime decision at home over Division I rival Canton.
Jared Gray ended the see-saw battle 2:33 into the five-minute overtime when he converted on an assist from Naylen Laffin as the Shamrocks earned their second straight NAC win in three days.
We forced them to turn the puck over in their own zone. Jarid walked in and picked out the top corner for the game winner, explained Salmon River Head Coach Tim Cook. This is our first Division one win against a Division one team this season. It feels good to put back-to-back wins together, continued the Shamrocks coach.
The visiting Bears (7-10-2, 5-5-2) opened the scoring 5:53 into the game when Sean Rodee finished off a play set up by Tanner Sanderson. The Shamrocks pulled even at the 10:26 mark on a goal by Ryan Thomas that was set up by Skylar Thomas. Ron Boots gave Salmon the first of two one-goal leads when he connected from Brady Mitchell with 1:30 left in the first period.
The Bears pulled even at 2-2 at the 13:28 mark of the second period after Nate Gibson connected from Cody Moore and Adam Lawrence but Ryan Thomas countered just 18 seconds later assisted by Mitchell and Austin Leroux to put the Shamrocks ahead 3-2 heading into the third period where a power play goal by Rodee tied the game with 8:45 left in regulation. E.J. Curtis and Josh Parker drew assists on the equalizer.
Cory Garrow handed 17 shots working the crease for the win while Jon Stone posted 21 saves in the losing cause.
The Shamrocks improved to 3-13-2 overall and 2-8-2 in their NAC finale. They are slated to compete at a tournament hosted by Massena Central this Saturday and Sunday where they will skate against non-league rivals St. Josephs and Pelham.

the ice. We first saw Bowman with the Kelowna Rockets in 2008-2009 where he was
part of the WHL Champions. We want to
see Bowman use his shot from the point more and he does need to improve on how
fast he makes decisions on the ice. Skating is not bad and his hockey IQ is
pretty good. The director of community
relations for the Moose Jaw Warriors Marnel Rasmussen told us that Bowman was a
great player on and off the ice. From her that is high praise as Bowman is one
of the few Warriors we have heard her single out."
Daniel Lizee (TheScoutingReport.org)
– "A jack of all trades defender. Has good poise, reads the play well, can
bring some offense and some defense but doesn't bring either in droves. A team
looking for an all-around d-man will give Bowman a look. Out of the 3 players
[Bowman, Jordan Hickmott and Tayler Jordan], I think Bowman has the best chance
of getting a contract."
Curtis Deem (TheScoutingReport.org)
– "Collin Bowman stepped his game up in a big way last year, after being dealt
to Moose Jaw. He has good size and uses it pretty well, and is willing to fight
if he needs to. He's an above average skater, with a good shot and makes smart,
strong passes on a regular basis. Bowman definitely looks the part of a
potential pro defenseman, and can play various roles if he's needed to."
Guy Flaming (ThePipelineShow.blogspot.com)
– "Collin Bowman is a big, steady d-man who broke out offensively last year
after a trade from Kelowna to Moose Jaw. Tough to say for certain if it was the
new team or just being a year older but the Warriors are less defense-oriented
than the Rockets, generally speaking. He never really lived up to expectations
being Drayson Bowman's brother, but [he plays a] different position too. He's a decent player, not sure he's an NHL
Kelly Friesen (Buzzing the
Net) – "Bowman is a mobile defenceman who's not afraid to throw his weight
around. Bowman broke out last year notching 11 goals and 49 points. I wouldn't
consider Bowman as an offensive defenceman, but he definitely can move the
puck. The biggest knock on Bowman is his skating, he's a below average skater."
Moose Jaw Director of Community Relations Marnel
Rasmussen (via The
Prospect Park) – "'Collin is a character player. He loves hockey; it's in
his blood and he is a very driven individual. He is not your typical Junior
player—while other players might be gaming, Collin found part time work-- not
because he had to but because he likes to keep busy. Collin worked with a power
skating school in Moose Jaw; helping young players develop and learn skating
skills. Collin is mature beyond his 20 years. Off the ice, he put in over 40 hours of
volunteer work--- reading, visiting schools and attending hockey
practices. On the ice, Collin
brings it every night. I cannot remember him ever missing a game unless a
serious injury. He played through
the flu and a broken finger (without a blink of an eye) --- never afraid to
drop the gloves and works very hard. He is a leader and one of our assistant
captains last year…. Deservingly so. He is has helped our young D like Morgan
Rielly (Draft Eligible) and Joel Edmundson (St Louis) develop
Moose Jaw Warriors Director of Hockey Operations Alan Millar
(via The
Prospect Park) - "Bowman is a well rounded, solid, complete
defensemen. He plays in all situations for our hockey club. Collin is a key
member of our team and an excellent leader. Rangers fans would like Bowman's solid, reliable play. He competes hard
in all situations and is very reliable at key times during a game, including,
when the game is on the line."
Kelowna Rockets Assistant Coach Jeff Finlay (via HockeysFuture.com)
in 2009 – "'I think Collin's strengths as a player are his hockey sense,'
Finlay said. 'He knows his limitations and competes very, very hard. He's just
a real solid defensive defenseman, but at the same time he moves the puck well
because he sees the ice so well. The
knock might be that he's maybe not the most beautiful of skaters right now, but
he knows how to get by out there and is a really solid defensive defenseman.'"
HockeysFuture.com in 2009 – "Bowman is considered to be a defensive defenseman who is capable of
moving the puck efficiently. He sees the ice well and may have some as
yet undiscovered offensive talent, but will never be considered an offensive
defenseman. Bowman needs to work on his skating and works hard at doing
MJWarriors.com – "Acquired from Kelowna, Collin Bowman is a physical blue liner who is always
ready to throw out a big hit or toss off the gloves."
Thoughts: Up until his 48-point outburst last season Bowman
was known primarily for being a sound, physical defenseman, but his offensive game has developed and he's become a pretty well-rounded
defenseman. Apparently skating isn't
Bowman's strength, which can be a major issue for prospects, but he probably
has the best chance of the Traverse City invites to earn a contract.

text: Me and two other hunting buddies are all 17 now. And we all plan on moving to AK either out of high school or finish some college first. We would be moving for the life experience and for the outdoors of course! Anchorage has around 250,000 people, so I have already decided that that is where I would want to move. Their temperatures are comparable to my home in Eastern ND. They also have some great colleges, 2 and four year schools. I am very interested in wildlife biology or law enforcement and Alaska has almost 3 jobs per thousand people for Wildlife Biologists. The next best state is CA with .8 jobs per thousand people. We would drive the alaskan highway and most likely start off with a crappy apartment and have enough money for a month or two's rent. I understand that the cost of living is extreme in AK. I don't mean to bore people. I'm just curious if others would wish they would have when they were young or just any advance you can provide. I would really appreciate it. I have a passport and have driven long drives upwards of 20 hours into Canada for fishing trips. I trap, hunt, fish, spear pike and anything else you can think of. Alaska would be a dream. I enjoy winter.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — While they filled big needs on the offensive and defensive lines and added some help in the secondary and at running back, the biggest news the New York Giants made in the NFL draft will filling a need they seemingly never need — backup quarterback.
The Giants created a little buzz early Saturday, making a trade to move up and grab Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib as a backup for two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning.
"If he doesn't ever play, that would be great," general manager Jerry Reese said after the pick. "That's a good problem to have. If he needs to play, we're hoping that whatever time that is that he'll be up and ready to go if it ever happens that way."
Being Manning's backup is akin to not playing. Manning has started 135 straight regular-season games and 11 consecutive postseason contests. The last player to start for New York other than Manning was Kurt Warner in 2004.
Veteran David Carr has been Manning's backup in recent years and just the latest veteran to back up the 32-year-old Manning. That could change this year if Nassib beats out Carr or Tom Coughlin elects to go with three quarterbacks on his roster, something that he hasn't done in recent years.
Nassib is the first quarterback drafted by the Giants since Sam Houston State's Rhett Bomar in the fifth round in 2009. The previous year, they selected Kentucky's Andre' Woodson in round six. Each of them had a short stay with the Giants, as did free agent Ryan Perrilloux in 2011.
Entering the fourth round, Reese said Nassib, who started the past three years for the Orange, stuck out like a sore thumb.
"He had too much value," Reese said. "We had been talking about developing a quarterback to back up Eli for a while and this was the perfect opportunity for us to get a young quarterback with a lot of talent."
So the Giants shipped their fourth- and sixth-round picks to the Arizona Cardinals to move up six spots and grab Nassib, who some felt had first-round talent.
Marc Ross, the team's director of college scouting, said Nassib has more than arm strength.
"That's something secondary to me," Ross said. "I look at leaders and winners and players who raise the level of the team and when they are on the field have a presence about them and those are attributes about him that stood out to me."
Coughlin didn't want to say how many quarterbacks the team will keep this season, but he believes the competition between Carr and Nassib will help the team.
"This is a great opportunity for Ryan," said Coughlin, who noted he had not called Manning to explain the pick, saying there was no need to discuss something with a quarterback who still getting better. "He'll be in the classroom with Eli and he'll get a chance to learn."
Nassib completed 791 of 1,312 passes for 9,190 yards and 70 touchdown passes with the Orange, leading them to 21 wins in three seasons as a starter.
Nassib had just gotten home to West Chester, Pa., when Coughlin telephoned him after the pick.
"To be honest with you, I blacked out," said Nassib, who had not talked with the Giants much before the draft. "I didn't get everything. What I did get from him was that first off I had to cut my ties with the Philadelphia Eagles and switch, which won't be a problem. He complimented me on coming from a good school and being a good football player and told me what I great opportunity I had to play behind Eli."
The 23-year-old wasn't shy when asked about his abilities. He's confident and said that he is somewhat like Manning in that he was durable in his final three years in college, never missing a game or a practice. He was admittedly disappointed staying on the board until the fourth round.
"I always compared myself to Eli so it is going to be crazy that I am going to be playing with him," Nassib said. "He is a tough, durable, smart guy who doesn't say much. That's the kind of quarterback I always wanted to be. Being able to sit behind him and learn from him, like some great quarterbacks did in the past, an elite veteran like Aaron Rodgers, it's going to be a great opportunity for me."
Nassib is going to have some company with the Giants. They drafted Syracuse offensive tackle Justin Pugh in the first round. Pugh is from Holland, Pa., about 30 miles from Philadelphia.
"We're from the same area and had many a drive home from Syracuse," Nassib said. "I can't believe that of all the situations that we are going to be back together again."
Pugh, the 19th pick overall, is expected to push David Diehl for the starting job at right tackle. The other offensive line taken was guard Eric Herman of Ohio University.
Bills turn to defense
After stocking up on offense early in the NFL draft, the Buffalo Bills turned to a glaring need on defense on the draft's third and final day.
Buffalo selected safeties with back-to-back picks on Saturday, selecting Nevada's Michael `Duke' Williams 105th overall and Clemson's Jonathan Meeks 143rd overall.
The Bills had a need on the back end due to the departure of veteran safety George Wilson, who has since joined the Tennessee Titans, and the uncertain future of standout Jairus Byrd. Byrd, one of Buffalo's top playmakers, is unsigned after receiving the franchise tag on March 1. The Bills had no update regarding Byrd but team president Russ Brandon said there has been dialogue between the Bills and Byrd's agent, Eugene Parker.
"They were the two best guys up there at the time we were picking," general manager Buddy Nix said. "Obviously we want to be prepared for whatever happens."
Listed at 5-foot-11, 201 pounds, Williams is considered a playmaker in the secondary and is known for his speed and physicality. Williams played mostly at strong safety at Nevada and finished with 292 tackles, 18 pass breakups and four interceptions.
Williams is the second Bills draft pick to have encountered off-field problems. He was arrested in 2009 for underage possession of alcohol and in 2011 for driving with a suspended license and without insurance after being involved in a car accident.
Meeks, who is listed at 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, had 157 tackles, seven interceptions and 13 pass breakups in 50 career games, including 24 starts. Meeks is a versatile prospect who could play at strong or free safety in the pros and has good size and range.
The additions of Williams and Meeks give new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine more options to work with as he attempts to overhaul a Bills defense that finished in the bottom third of the league in most major defensive categories. The Bills are switching to a hybrid 3-4 scheme under Pettine, the former New York Jets defensive coordinator, that will benefit from more versatile additions.
Jets, Ivory agree
A source said the New York Jets and newly acquired running back Chris Ivory have agreed in principle to a three-year, $10 million deal.
The deal Saturday comes after the Jets traded a fourth-round draft pick to the New Orleans Saints on Friday night.
Ivory has a shot at being the Jets' starter in a backfield that includes Bilal Powell, Joe McKnight and recently signed Mike Goodson.
Ivory, undrafted out of Tiffin in 2010, rushed for 217 yards and two TDs on 40 carries last year. He was stuck on the Saints' depth chart behind Mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles.

Landing Spots for an Ailing Quarterback?
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
Rumors broke last night that the Jets are interested in trading Mark Sanchez this offseason. Any trade that involves Mark Sanchez will be one that the Jets make just to move on from the player. In such a move, they would eat most of his salary ($6 million sounds reasonable) and they might only get a Day Three pick (I'd guess a sixth) in return for their efforts. Many teams might be interested in Sanchez as a backup for $2 million if the Jets eat most of his salary. Teams like the Cowboys, Texans, Bears, Steelers and others immediately come to mind as teams looking to bolster their backup position in the offseason with younger, but experienced veterans who have won games.
But as far as a starter? There's only a limited group of teams that would be interested in considering him with that in mind from day one. It obviously stands to reason that teams more willing to trade for Sanchez would be the ones who wanting to use him as a starter.
Arizona — It's clear that the Cardinals have quarterback issues this season, but the risk here is who will be pulling the strings after the season ends? It's more than likely Whisenhunt is on the hot seat, and maybe on the Bidwell's frugality will save him. The Cardinals will most likely look to make some changes this offseason, but they've already tried out their USC quarterback in recent years (Matt Leinart) so it's fair to ask if they'd go back to the well again. The Jets have worked with the Cardinals before on a trade (Kerry Rhodes) and so it might breed more trust in such a trade.
Possibility: Likely
Kansas City — Kansas City is a flaming wreck. It's hard to imagine that RAC comes back next season and depending on who is brought in, they might be looking for a new quarterback to replace Cassel and Quinn. The Chiefs have been willing to try castoffs like Quinn before … would they do it again with Sanchez?
Possibility: Somewhat likely
Jacksonville — It might seem counter-intuitive as the home of Tim Tebow, but between Henne and Gabbert the Jagaurs might still be looking for a long term answer at the QB spot.
Possibility: Not likely
San Diego — A new coach is likely about to come to town in San Diego. What's unknown is whether or not GM AJ Smith will weather the storm as well. If Smith does, then there's little chance they'd move Rivers, if Smith doesn't, someone might start looking to get some competition for Rivers as his deal winds down.
Possibility: Unlikely
Philadelphia — With new officials likely coming this offseason in Philly, they could be in the market for a quarterback. Foles has shown promise, but it might come down to whomever takes over and what type of quarterback they like to run their system. If Sanchez couldn't last in New York, his psyche will shatter in Philly.
Possibility: Highly unlikely
Oakland — Oakland has been batted around, but they just restructured Palmer's deal this summer and they'll owe him too much to cut him in the coming year. Oakland might consider Sanchez as competition, but remember that Clinkscales is now in Oakland and would have all the dirt on Sanchez. Their interest or lack of interest will be an interesting barometer in how the Jets scouting organization throught of Sanchez.
Possibility: Highly unlikely

Morning News: Reyes talks Mets, concerned about Wright
Yesterday, Jose Reyes faced the Mets for the first time as a Marlin, during which he was 0-for-1.
He later talked to reporters and, according to ESPN's Adam Rubin, "seemed particularly concerned about David Wright's abdominal issue," so much so, "He quizzed reporters about Wright's status and separately asked Terry Collins about the shortstop's longtime teammate.
To read other beat writer reports on Jose's day against the Mets, check out the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Star-Ledger, Bergen Record, Daily News, New York Times, Newsday and ESPN New York.
To read quotes from Reyes, courtesy of WFUV and MetsBlog's Amit Badlani,
Jose Reyes was happy to see Terry Collins, his old teammates, as he greeted a lot of them during pre-game running today in Jupiter.
Reyes doesn't feel like his days with the Mets are so far behind him but considering he's with a new team, he has to put his career with the Mets in the past.
In addition, Reyes didn't think it felt 'different' to play against the Mets today, saying:
"This is Spring Training. This feels like another game. During the season, it's going to be different. There will be more people in the stands, so it will be more fun. But today, it was a normal game for me."
Reyes also said to this point, he doesn't miss anything about the Mets except the fans, saying:
[jbox color="gray"]
"For now, I don't miss anything. Like I said, I am a part of a new organization now. Of course, I'm going to miss the fans in New York because all the support they gave me, but I have new fans here in Miami."
Contrary to Marlins President David Samson basically saying money was the most important issue for him, Reyes said the opportunity to win in Miami was most appealing, saying:
[jbox color="gray"]
"Before I signed here, I saw what they were trying to do. Thats why I decided to come here to Miami. Because of the opportunity to win. … I haven't won anything yet. We went to the playoffs once in New York; I want to win a World Series and I think on this team I have that opportunity."
Reyes also said:
- He never told Samson money was his biggest issue – his agent informed him of those comments after the fact.
- He's ok if the fans boo him because he knows he gave everything he had while with the Mets.
- He feels good and healthy, although he hasn't had the opportunity to play in a lot of games yet.
- He gets along well with Hanley Ramirez – they have hung out a lot together this Spring as well.
- He's glad he's on Josh Johnson's side now.
- He still talks to David Wright, Ike Davis, Justin Turner, some of the minor leaguers.
- He doesn't know what Wright is thinking in regards to his future – all he knows is Wright wants to get healthy and play baseball 'the right way.'

I can't even remember if I told you about my finished Thalia Shawl. OK, I just did some quick clicking around my blog and did blog about it, but in a post titled Trunk Show, which doesn't make any sense at all. In that post, I also mentioned the Mystery Shawl I had started.
Yesterday because it wasn't too hot (just kidding, it was definitely too hot!) I asked my mother-in-law Noreen to model the shawls, both now finished and blocked. She obliged, even without knowing her payment would be wool. And not just any wool, but wool that had already been knitted into a shawl. And a stunning shawl, at that!
Here's Noreen in the Thalia Shawl, previously blogged about, but only shown blocking on the bed. Now with live human being! And so pretty.

And now for the Mystery Shawl, the one the model got to keep.

The yarn in this is Rowan Felted Tweed. It could not be a more perfect yarn for this pattern. It's my favorite yarn ever (sure, I've said this before of other yarns, but this time I really mean it!).
And when I told her she could have it…
I should mention that Noreen is not comfortable AT ALL with having her picture taken. Of course, I understand, but I am so happy she agreed to help me out. Shawls look much prettier on people than on beds or picnic tables. Thank you, Noreen!

Maybe it wasn't a world record, but it was fast enough: four public hearings and four approvals of Planning and Zoning Commission recommendations in about ten minutes. The Carbon County Commission convened each hearing separately, called for public comment, got none, and moved on to the voting.
Each approval was unanimous.
Conoco/Phillips Co. got an adjustment on its conditional use permit, which will allow the company to upgrade pumps on its wells in Drunkard's Wash off Highway 10. Preliminary monitoring of noise indicates that the pumps will not exceed standards.
The company also got the go-ahead to drill two new gas wells near Wattis on property owned by Plateau Mining.
Element Power got a conditional use permit to erect a wind monitoring tower near Scofield to assess the potential for wind turbine electric generation. As reported earlier in the Sun Advocate, the 198-foot, steel lattice tower will record wind speeds at three elevations for three years. The proposed site is near the junction of Castle Valley Ridge Rd. and Beaver Rd. in the high country about three miles south of the town.
Element Power has utility-scale solar and wind turbine projects operating and in development in Europe and is pursuing other projects in North and South America. Its principal offices are in Madrid, London and Portland. The company is owned by Hudson Clean Energy Partners, an investment group that focuses on renewable energy projects.
The company would have to return to the planning commission and county commission to obtain permission to build wind turbine generators if the meteorological and other factors show such a project would be feasible.
It will take only a day or so to erect the tower.
Finally, Scofield Mountain Estates got the zoning change it needs to allow expansion of its resort cabin development at the northwest end of Scofield Lake.
The resort community already has 60 lots approved and developed, and has sold 21 so far. Plans call for 109 lots total on the company's acreage. This would be Phase IV of the overall development and would entail ground and utility preparation for eventual cabin building on about a dozen lots. On average, the plans call for one lot on four acres.
The soils and other environmental conditions in the new phase are comparable to those on previously developed lots, the company reported earlier. TIt has developed a spring that will serve as a source of water for household use, and will install a storage tank to accommodate fire protection demands.
The developers intend to continue using septic tanks for sewage. The development is following building code rules for setbacks from the lake shore and streams. In addition, each purchaser of a lot must agree to a covenant stipulating that homes must be built to size, design and construction material provisions to preserve the beauty of the community and the environment. Compliance with county building codes and permits is also mandatory.
The additional development is not expect to pose any traffic problems on the west Scofield Rd.

Xerostomia (dry mouth) is a difficult and often permanent complication of head and neck radiotherapy. Life long consequences include difficulty with eating, speaking, and dental complications. This phase III randomized trial of radiation therapy with or without amifostine was performed to evaluate the ability of the radioprotectant drug to decrease acute and long term morbidity.
In addition to acute and chronic xerostomia, both acute and chronic mucositis were evaluated for potential improvement with amifostine. An additional end point that was examined was preservation of the anti-tumor activity of radiation, which could theoretically have been decreased by amifostine.
Three hundred fifteen patients were enrolled, stratified for prognostic factors and randomized to either receive or not receive daily intravenous amifostine. Both post operative and definitively treated patients were evaluated for incidence of grade 2 or higher acute xerostomia, grade 3 or higher mucositis, and grade 2 or higher late xerostomia (1 year after treatment).
