|This was a VERY enjoyable hike with some fun desert scrambling (3rd and 4th class) to a lofty summit with my beautiful wife Deb. A bit loose in some places but fun nonetheless. Deb and I spotted entries from Bob Burd, Matthew Holliman, Rick Kent, and Penelope May.....even Greg Vernon. The earliest entry goes back to the mid 50's (caution: the entires on the old summit log are decaying!). There is a summit entry that records an ascent that tackled the North Buttress, which involved 2 pitches of 4th, one pitch of 5th, and the remaining section to the summit was 3rd class (the actual start was not detailed enough in the description).

Date Climbed: Feb 18, 2007
|After tagging Umpah the previous day, Mopah was a real treat with more Class 3 and 4 fun; no difficult sections encountered although many detachable holds no longer exist. Curious as to who tied a rap sling on a large ROCK; whoever uses it may also be using a hearse soon after. Great time in the desert!

|Lots of crumbly flow-banded rhyolite rock near tight notch -- if you try anything different (i.e. not cleaned by previous climbers), watch out; entire sheets of rock may exfoliate.
Climbed with BW, NN, Dr Ed, and the Siberian. Took us perhaps 2 hrs plus change to do this peak, on peak top by ~8:30AM. It was just a mild day (mid 70's), but the sun was bright, and it felt warm and dry as there is virtually no shade. By the time we were down Umpah and out the southern wash (for variety), we were all a little thirsty. In other words, if you climb this in warmer weather, watch out.

|The peak looks very impressive from a distance--but perhaps even more impressive is how easy the usual route up the peak is. Only a short bit of third class is encountered. (The hype in the DPS guide about "most climbers will want a belay" is a bit overblown, IMO). The crux of the scramble was actually gaining the notch at the top of the chute/chimney just before the "class 3-4" move--but on the descent, we found that even this can by completely avoided by a ducked ledge on the right.
A rewarding and enjoyable scramble nonetheless. One of my favourite desert peaks to date.

|The view was great of Umpah Point to the south, Castle Rock, the other Turtle Mountains, to the east the Colorado River and out into Arizona. Weather was clear, no wind and temperature in the upper 60's. We, Matt Haynes, John Paterson and I, climbed the East Face Route of Mopah which was a California Mountaineering Club trip.

Doonby, a big-screen psychological thriller that addresses abortion and other life issues, is poised for national release over the next few months, and it is no stretch to predict that those who see it will never forget its powerful pro-life theme. The film stars John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard) as Sam Doonby, a mysterious drifter who blows into a small Texas community, drawing first the admiration, and then the suspicion and animosity, of the townspeople.
The movie also stars veteran Hollywood actors Joe Estevez (brother of Martin Sheen and uncle of Charlie Sheen) and Jenn Gotzon (Frost/Nixon), and features a special cameo appearance by Norma McCorvey, better known as plaintiff "Jane Roe" in the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States.
McCorvey, who became a Christian many years after the Roe decision and is now a strong pro-life advocate, appears in the film as an elderly woman who reaches out to a young woman who is pregnant and contemplating an abortion. The film's writer and director, Peter Mackenzie, said he decided to pursue McCorvey for the role because he wanted to cast someone with the background and understanding of the gravity of the abortion issue, and who would be able to tell that part of the story without being preachy. "I thought she encapsulated American thinking on the issue," he said.
Before actively pursuing McCorvey for the role, Mackenzie chose to shoot the movie in the small Texas town of Smithville, not realizing that McCorvey lived there. As Mackenzie began to search out McCorvey for the part, he said things "got a little spooky" when he realized that she actually lived in the little town, population 3,902. For McCorvey's part, she told the Hollywood Reporter that "I guess you could say the project chose me. God told me to move there two years before but didn't really tell me why. So I obeyed. I had no family there, no friends. I just obeyed."

You know the ones. They can turn the hearts of even the most hardened rock fans, liven up any party, and make the sun shine a little bit brighter, if just for a little while and quite possibly in spite of yourself.
Not the usual "hit du jour", mind you, but popular hits that endure and still sound fresh years or decades later.
Case in point: "You Make My Dreams" by Hall & Oates.
I've never been a big fan, but this song is priceless....a bouncy, funky, toe-tapper that just exudes fun. It was featured in the recent film "500 Days Of Summer" to both comic and romantic effect.
And I also include tunes like "Blue Sky" (Allman Bros.), which are perfection in themselves, if not necessarily pop, that never waste a note or a feeling.
A few more:
"What Is Life" - George Harrison
"Everybody Wants To Rule The World" - Tears For Fears
"Train In Vain" - The Clash
"Heart Of Gold" - Neil Young
"Superstition" - Stevie Wonder
"What's Going On" - Marvin Gaye

Anton Bruckner divides audiences. For admirers, his sprawling, stately symphonies — with their great pauses and timeless repetitions — represent the summit of the 19th-century Viennese symphonic tradition. For skeptics, the symphonies are exercises in lumpy piety, plagued with bombastic sonorities and numbingly long-winded development sections.
Yet in a hyper-kinetic, overstimulated world, Bruckner's symphonies may not fit comfortably at either extreme. In recent years, some conductors and ensembles have sought to contextualize the Austrian composer in broader, semi-mystical terms. They've programmed him alongside contemporary minimalists like Philip Glass, Arvo Pärt and Henryk Górecki, or they've encouraged listeners to think of his writing as a kind of heavyweight version of Gregorian chant. The message: Bruckner is a composer who rewards patience and contemplation.
The Dresden Staatskapelle brings Bruckner's Symphony No. 8 to Carnegie Hall April 19 — webcast live on NPR Music and on WQXR, which is also broadcasting the concert. Listeners will hear an orchestra with plentcy of experience working through Bruckner's quirks and thrills. Founded in 1548 as an ensemble of trumpets and timpani, and considered one of the world's oldest orchestras, the Staatskapelle has recorded the stately Eighth Symphony many times over, most recently in 2009 under Christian Thielemann.
Thielemann became the Staatskapelle's principal conductor this year, and by many accounts it's a strong match. Both orchestra and maestro are steeped in 19th-century Germanic repertoire. The orchestra's previous chief conductors included Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner. Richard Strauss also maintained a close association with the ensemble for some 60 years, both as a stand-alone orchestra and as part of the Sächsische Staatsoper, or Saxon State Opera.
In modern times, the Staatskapelle has risen to international prominence through recordings and tours led by Giuseppe Sinopoli, its chief conductor from 1992 until his sudden death in 2001. The past decade has seen greater turnover on the podium; conductors Bernard Haitink and Fabio Luisi each had brief and tumultuous tenures with the orchestra.
But unlike his predecessors, the Berlin-born Thielemann has spent the bulk of his career with the major German opera houses and orchestras, most recently with the Munich Philharmonic and the Bayreuth Festival (where he's chief musical advisor). While Thielemann's tenure in Dresden is just getting underway, music critics have been optimistic about the results. Donald Rosenberg of the Cleveland Plain Dealer called a recent performance of Bruckner's Eighth a "mesmerizing experience." L.A. Times classical music critic Mark Swed wrote that a "rapturous live performance of Bruckner's Eighth Symphony indicates that Dresden could be in for yet another golden age of German Romanticism."

The Ogdensburg City Council on Monday agreed to explore the concept of the installation of an electric car-charging station in the city.
National Grid has received taxpayer funds through the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority to install stations in 70 municipalities on their property across the state at a cost of about $15,000 each with a four-year lease. The city would supply the electricity for free.
Mayor William D. Nelson believes the idea is a so-called green energy initiative worth considering. Canadian visitors, he noted, are interested as they would shop and dine in the city - spending money - while having their electric cars charged.
Im looking at it as a visionary, he said.
But some councilors dont want the city giving anything away.
Wouldnt it be better if a private business had it? asked Wayne L. Ashley said.
In January, the city of Watertown dismissed the idea of installing an electric-vehicle charging station in a municipal parking lot. The city was asked to provide a spot to charge two vehicles. It was also asked to supply free electricity to the green vehicle owners. City Attorney Robert J. Slye advised that charging station would violate the state constitution.
Municipalities are not allowed to provide cash or items of value for free. Nevertheless, the city will seek a legal opinion from the state comptrollers office.
The parking lots of the citys Dobisky Center and Richard G. Lockwood Civic Center are the preferred locations for the charging stations. Deputy Mayor Michael D. Morley opposes them, preferring outside high-traffic business sites like the Walmart and Lowes stores. Councilor Jennifer Stevenson wants to see them close to downtown and the waterfront to generate business which she said is the citys mission.
In other business, the council approved the appointments of Larry Mitchell, Seth Pinkerton and Jack Manke to the city recreation commission.
Mr. Pinkerton and Mr. Manke will serve as, respectively, student representative and alternate student representative.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
A flu shot may be a necessary vaccination. However, for those without insurance, getting the shot was a difficult process. But thanks to a program at the Southeastern Utah District Health Department, shots were available to the public with a bit of a twist. Not only were those who needed the vaccination helping themselves, but they were also helping others in the process.
The week of Dec. 5 - 11 is National Influenza Vaccination Week and the health department offered a deal for those who need a flu shot by giving them out for free, no questions asked. All they asked for in return was for each person to bring in two cans of food, which goes toward helping fill the local food banks in time for the holidays. A flu shot normally costs around $23 - $25.
With the program completed, the health department collected over 1,500 pounds of food in the entire district, including about 790 pounds of canned foods at the Price office, 28 S. 100 E., according to Terrie Wright, public information officer with SEUDHD.
About 350 flu shots were given out to the public during the event which started last Monday and concluded on Thursday.
"It's a great service to the community," said Wright.
The people who stopped by for a shot brought the canned foods with them and by the amount of food collected for the local food bank, the event was considered to be a success, Wright said.
"Some people brought more cans of food than we asked for to get a shot," she said. "And some people brought cans of food and they didn't need to get a shot."
The event was created as a way to put to use of an excess of flu vaccinations and provide an opportunity for those who may have "fallen through the cracks" and were not able to get a shot anywhere else, Wright said.

Coal production levels in the Castle Valley region and across Utah dropped for the third straight year to 21.8 million short tons in 2004, representing the lowest level reported by the mining industry statewide since 1993.
But bolstered by significant production increases at Andalex and Dugout Canyon, underground mining operations in Carbon County developed the majority of Utah's coal in 2004.
Carbon's production level registered at 8.8 million short tons last year, up from 7.1 million short tons in 2003.
In addition, all production efforts at Skyline will be concentrated in the company's northern leases located in the Carbon area as opposed to previous extraction activity that occurred in Emery County, noted the latest coal forecast compiled by the Utah Geological Survey.
Although Emery has led the state's coal production list since 1990, the neighboring county dropped below Carbon and Sevier last year.
Emery mines produced 5.5 million short tons last year, compared to 8.9 million short tons in 2003 and the peak annual level of 17.3 million tons in recorded in 1995.
Sevier's only active mine, Sufco, increased production to 7.6 million short tons in 2004, exceeding the county's 2003 total by 6.2 percent.
However, Emery County could witness a resurgence in coal production in the event the proposed Lila Canyon mine comes on line and starts operation, explained the UGS forecast report.
Federal mineral leases continued to dominate the coal production picture in Castle Valley and Utah in 2004.
Mines operating on United States Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service tracts accounted for 20.3 million tons or 92.9 percent of Utah's total coal production in 2004.
Production from Sufco, West Ridge, Dugout Canyon, Aberdeen, Horizon, Bear Canyon and Skyline mines will maintain the status of federal leases as the primary source of Utah coal for several years into the future, pointed out the UGS forecast.
Utah's public lands supplied 849,000 short tons of coal in 2004, representing 61.3 percent less than the 22.2 million ton production total reported in 2003 production.
State lands accounted for 3.9 percent of Utah's total production in 2004, down from 9.5 percent in 2003.
But the UGS forecast estimated that coal production on state lands should jump to about three million short tons in 2005 and increase more in 2006.
Deer Creek production moved onto Utah's Mill Fork tract in June 2005 and Sufco should transfer operations onto the state's Muddy tract by 2006.
Production on private fee land decreased from 2.0 million short tons in 2003 to 701,000 short tons in 2004. The total constituted 3.2 percent of Utah's total coal production last year.
Fee coal in 2004 primarily came from the Emery mine, Andalex Tower division and Crandall Canyon.
Deer Creek, Dugout, Skyline and Bear Canyon developed a combined 1.6 million short tons from private lands in 2003, but none of the underground mining operations produced fee coal last year, explained the UGS forecast.
Coal extracted from mineral lease tracts located on private land should increase to 1.5 million short tons in 2005 as the Emery mine increases production.
During 2004, longwall mining machines in seven mines pdeveloped 16.5 million short tons of coal, accounting for 75.5 percent of total Utah production. Most notably, a new low-profile longwall machine, which can cut coal in a seam only 5.5 feet thick, was installed at the Crandall Canyon mine. Twenty-four continuous miner machines, down from 25 in 2003, produced the remaining 24.5 percent of state coal production.
Processing waste coal piles at the old Sunnyside and Star Point mines is considered as reclamation rather than mining activity, continued the UGS forecast. Fluidized bed combustion allows discarded washer plant waste and coal refuse to be used as fuel at Sunnyside Cogeneration power plant. Annual waste coal consumption at the Sunnyside facility averages roughly 450,000 tons.
As production in the Wasatch Plateau diminished in 2004, Book Cliffs mines had to increase extraction efforts to meet growing demands. Mines operating in the Book Cliffs accounted for 38.9 percent of Utah's total production in 2004 for the highest level posted in at least the last 25 years. By comparison, the Book Cliffs field accounted for 30.2 percent of the coal produced statewide in 2003.
Overall production from mines in the Book Cliffs climbed 21.9 percent in 2004 and the UGS forecast predicted the level will increase by an additional 1.3 percent in 2005.
Tower operates the Aberdeen and Pinnacle mines and the division's production has more than doubled since 2003. Canyon Fuel's Dugout mine increased production by 30 percent, while West Ridge continued to experience problems causing the operation's level to fall by 24.2 percent last year.
Book Cliffs production could become more significant in the future with the proposed opening of the Lila Canyon and Columbia mines.
Underground mining facilities operating in the Wasatch Plateau field accounted for 60 percent of the state's coal production last year, down from 68.8 percent in 2004, concluded the Utah Geological forecast report.

ADAMS – The village will never forget Adams native Julius Sterling Morton, founder of Arbor Day.
The South Jefferson Chamber of Commerces 27th annual Arbor Day Festival on Saturday was proof, as organizers sought to educate the community on maintaining traditions and honoring an accomplished former Northern New York man.
Adams is known as the Arbor Day Village, and as long as we can keep this festival going although he moved as a baby well do it, said Connie A. Elliott, chamber president.
In New York, Arbor Day is celebrated as Earth Day on April 22, which also is Mr. Mortons birthday.
On Saturday, about 50 vendors were spread out throughout the South Jefferson Central School Districts Bruce C. Clarke Building, Route 11, offering a variety of activities for children and families. Zoey M. Duerson, 3, attended the event with her aunt, Molly J. Ormsby.
Zoey said that she was excited to see a lizard at the event and that she likes many animals and picking up twigs in her yard.
I like to play outside, she said.
Mrs. Ormsby, who also attended the event with husband Justin S., daughter Nataleigh G., 1, and niece Ava Duerson, 2, said the family enjoys nature, so the festival seemed like the perfect event.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation was on hand to give out about 500 white spruce tree seedlings, which may take up to 30 years to mature. Master gardener volunteers with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County educated attendees about gardening, and extension staff members were on hand to talk about composting.
Adams Tree Committee Chairwoman Liz Walker said it was nice to see so many people at the event to help bring the village back to its roots. The committee received a DEC grant a few months ago to plant more than 60 trees throughout the village later this year.
We can keep planting trees in Adams where they need to be, she said.
Other highlights of the event included a hydroponics garden project display from the schools FFA group and a certificate presentation to village resident Marcia A. Reed, who was honored as the South Jefferson Citizen of the Year.

|The recent recalls involving uncontrolled acceleration in some models of Toyota vehicles has called attention to a little-considered area of car design -- their electronic control systems. Although car manufacturer Toyota has said that the problems appear to have been caused by a sticking component in the gas pedal, some outside investigators are examining the computers and programming that help operate the cars as well. In this segment, we'll talk about car electronics, and how to engineer computer-controlled systems to improve safety. When you put your car in drive and press the pedal to the metal, how much of what happens next is controlled by a computer, rather than by old-fashioned rods, gears, and valves? Should it be that way?

CRIMINAL POSSESSION WEAPON - MASSENA - Massena-based state police charged Michael R. Hibbert, 28, of Lewisville, Texas, with a felony count of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon Tuesday.
He was found in possession of a loaded Glock 22 .40 calibre handgun loaded with 15 rounds following a traffic stop initiated by the U.S. Border Patrol at 6:27 p.m. Tuesday on state Route 37 in the town of Massena.
He was arraigned by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond.
According to court documents, the Border Patrol agents stopped the 2008 GMC box truck registered to Moveline Hospitality, Arlington, Texas due to the drivers apparent nervous driving behavior, the number of occupants in the vehicle (three) and the knowledge that illegal alien smuggling loads have originated from behind the casino, where the truck was observed prior to the traffic stop.
Agents, in their narrative, said a canine alerted on the trucks cab, and a search resulted in the seizure of the Glock. Hibbert reportedly claimed ownership of the handgun and said he did not have a New York state pistol permit. Hibbert was turned over to state police.
Hibbert and his two companions told agents they were working setting up furniture at the new casino hotel and expected to be in the area for approximately one month.
MENACING - MASSENA - Massena-based state police charged Cameron B. Miller, 18, of Nicholville with second-degree menacing Tuesday afternoon following an investigation into an incident that reportedly took place on Feb. 1 on a St. Lawrence Central school bus. Miller allegedly threatened to strike a 12-year-old male with metal knuckles. The incident was reported to troopers on Monday.
HARASSMENT - MASSENA - Village police picked up Alan M. Green, 21, of 54 McCluskey Ave., Massena, on an arrest warrant for a harassment charge at 1:53 a.m. Wednesday at 405 South Main St. Green allegedly threatened to beat up Justin Love during an incident that occurred on Dec. 5. He was arraigned by Acting Massena Village Justice James M. Crandall and released after posting $100 bail.
PETIT LARCENY - MASSENA - Village police charged Angela M. Swinyer, 42, of 816 Pearl St., Ogdensburg, with two counts of petit larceny at 12:51 p.m. Tuesday following an alleged shoplifting incident at Wal-Mart.
Store loss prevention associates told police they observed Swinyer select two packages of jelly beans and place them in her purse and then take several items from her cart and place them in her purse and under her shirt before walking into the vestibule past the last point of sale, where she was stopped by store personnel and found to be in possession of $90.19 worth of merchandise. She also reportedly admitted she had walked out of the store approximately 15 minutes earlier without paying for $24.59 worth of merchandise.
Swinyer was arraigned by Acting Massena Village Justice James M. Crandall and released under the supervision of the probation department with a stipulation she not enter any Wal-Mart stores.
DWI - MASSENA - Village police charged John D. Cox, 34, of 228 East Orvis St., Massena, with driving while intoxicated and ticketed him for speed not reasonable and prudent and failure to keep right at 8:36 p.m. Monday following a property damage accident when his vehicle struck a snowbank on Willow Street at Bishop Avenue. Police said they had initially observed Coxs vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed on East Orvis Street. Police said Cox left 65 feet of skid marks before striking the snowbank. He reportedly had a blood alcohol content of 0.17 percent. A blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent or higher constitutes a driving while intoxicated charge in New York state.

BRISTOL, Conn. — Lincoln All-Stars' assistant coach Marty Gaughan Sr. had a feeling his team would face South Burlington, Vt. ace Sammy Premsagar in the third game of this Little League New England Regional Tournament on Monday afternoon.
That's why he took all necessary measures to prepare the kids offensively.
"They say he's a real fireballer; that's why I just spent the last hour pitching batting practice to them," he said perhaps 40 minutes before the tilt. "I was throwing them 100-mph heaters so they'd be ready."
BRISTOL, Conn. — Lincoln All-Stars' assistant coach Marty Gaughan Sr. had a feeling his team would face South Burlington, Vt. ace Sammy Premsagar in the third game of this Little League New England Regional Tournament on Monday afternoon.
That's why he took all necessary measures to prepare the kids offensively.
"They say he's a real fireballer; that's why I just spent the last hour pitching batting practice to them," he said perhaps 40 minutes before the tilt. "I was throwing them 100-mph heaters so they'd be ready."
Premsagar, however, was more than prepared to face the superb Lincoln lineup. He tossed 5 2/3 frames of four-hit ball while walking just two and fanning six to propel South Burlington's best to a stunning 8-1 triumph over the Rhode Island champions at Breen Field.
The tall, lanky righty also helped himself at the plate, going 1-for-3 with an RBI and run scored, though he wasn't alone in that department. No. 3 batter Chance O'Connor went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and a run; clean-up hitter Ethan Klesch 1-for-4 with two RBI; Nick Liscinsky 1-for-3 with a run scored; and Max Plunkett 0-1 with two walks and a pair of runs.
"Sammy was awesome," South Burlington manager Sean McGrath grinned after the win, one that pushed the Vermont champs to 2-1 overall with one preliminary contest left (against Maremont of Saco, Me. at 1 p.m. today, and that will be televised live on NESN).
"He was really dominant, but he's been the same way all season, both on the mound and at the plate," he added. "Still, this wasn't easy. Lincoln is very explosive offensively, and they have some great arms. They can pound the ball, so I wasn't comfortable at any point.
"Little League Baseball is a momentum game, and that momentum can change at any moment. That's a very well-coached group they have there, and they're good kids who know how to play the game. They've had success before.
"The way I looked at it, we wanted to go into the TV game with a victory. Our goal was to get the win (Monday) so we'd go into (today) with a little breathing room. We thought the guys would be more comfortable and confident if we could beat a team like Lincoln."
It was the first defeat Lincoln had suffered since opening this playoff run at 11-0. Those previous verdicts came by a combined score of 127-22.
The Vermonters improved to 11-2 after dropping its Friday opener to Westport, Conn. (9-2) before mustering a 12-2 "mercy-rule" triumph over Rye, N.H.
"What can you say? We lost the game," Lincoln skipper Matt Netto shrugged before hustling his players off to some interviews with NESN. "We were on a great run and ran into a great pitcher, and just didn't play that well. It's baseball, and the ball bounced the other team's way.
"We'll come back; I know it," he continued. "These kids have too much talent and confidence to let a loss like this affect them."
Offered Gaughan Sr.: "We were bound to have a bad day sometime, and I'm just glad it happened now as opposed to later. We still have a lot of life in us, and I know we'll get our bats going again."
Premsagar wouldn't say exactly what pitches were working best for him, but did admit, "I just felt it. My arm felt good, I wasn't sore at all and I was prepared to pitch a good game. Coach had been telling me to keep the ball down because Rhode Island could really bomb it. I went with a lot of off-speed stuff."
Amazingly, he didn't allow a single, as all four hits went for extra bases.
He did get into a bit of a jam in the first when he walked Steve Andrews and moved to third when Kyle Marrapese drilled a double to the right-center gap, but Connor Benbenek grounded out to the hill to end the threat.
South Burlington didn't need long to record its first run. Righty starter David Bordieri issued a walk to leadoff batter Max Plunkett, and he raced to second on a wild offering and third on Liscinsky's groundout before O'Connor plated him with a single to right.
Lincoln fought back to knot it in the second when Dominic Cunha crushed a first-pitch, two-out fastball over the center-field fence, and it seemed ready to forge some offense after Bordieri retired the side in the back half.
Andrews laced a two-out, opposite-field two-bagger in the third, though nothing came of it – not until Vermont exploded for four in the third to break the game open.
Actually, the surge (10 went to the plate) started with Bordieri fanning No. 9 batter Max Guyette, but then he walked Plunkett. When Liscinski knocked a comebacker to the mound, Bordieri wheeled and threw to second, but it was a bit off target.
Both moved up on another wild pitch, and O'Connor whacked a grounder at first baseman Cunha. The bad-hopper went for a two-run single, and Netto immediately decided to send in reliever Andrews.
"I'm pretty sure it was a 2-0 fastball, and I thought (Cunha) would reach out and get it, but he missed," O'Connor said. "When I looked up, I was, like, 'Yessss!'"
Still with one out, Klesch poked a grounder to short off of Andrews, and Bordieri – who had moved there – eventually gloved it but couldn't make the play. The manager later took him out with a right-pinkie injury.
"The ball bent his finger back," assistant Gordon Zaniol explained. "We're just going to rest it; he'll be fine."
Premsagar then plated O'Connor on a ground single to left, and Ben Tate blooped a hit to center, though Klesch was thrown out at third. Greg Knowles also drew a free bag to load them, and Kevin Kevin Papariello's pinch-hit single to left scored Premsagar for the 5-1 lead.
South Burlington notched another two in the fourth after Plunkett blooped a hit to right and Andrews hit Liscinsky with a delivery; both advanced on a passed ball, and Klesch's single to center plated both.
In the interim, Premsagar had retired eight of nine (including Andrews' third-frame double) until he yielded a walk to Tyler Santilli in the fifth. He later moved to second on Nathan Kumar's grounder to short, but he struck out Larisa to escape the inning.
The victors registered their last run in the fifth when Papariello beat out a swinging bunt hit, and pinch-runner John Thibeault stole second before hustling to third on a wild pitch. Ryan Sargent walked, and Netto replaced Andrews with righty Blake Zaniol.
Plunkett's fielder's choice grounder pushed in Thibeault, though Lincoln left fielder Patrick Gribbin made a made a pair of splendid snags off the bats of O'Connor and Klesch to squelch the rally.
Andrews did start the sixth with his second two-bagger, and tagged to third on Benbenek's long fly to right. That forced McGrath to pull Premsagar, who had reached 87 pitches (the limit per tilt is 85). He brought in Liscinsky, who walked Zaniol before getting Gribbin looking.
"I told the kids before the game that we had to get on them early," McGrath said. "I told them to bat with confidence and go out there and have some fun. I wanted them to value each and every pitch, and – well – it worked."
Stated Liscinsky: "This is really exciting because Rhode Island is one of the better teams here. Now they're tied with us (with a 2-1 mark), but we own the tiebreaker. With the win, now we know we can play with any other team."
The elder Zaniol admitted that third inning, with two miscues, was more than uncharacteristic for this Lincoln crew.
"It was just one of those games that didn't go our way," he noted. "It was going to happen soon or later. Hopefully, the loss will put some fire into our bellies. We'll learn from it, go back to work and we'll seal it Wednesday."
That's when it will battle Rye, N.H. in its final prelim; it's slated for 1 p.m., and to be televised by NESN.
"If we had played our game, it would've been closer," Coach Zaniol mentioned of Lincoln stranding five of six baserunners in scoring position. "The kids know what happened, and they know what to do. We're not going to change anything, but you can't take anything away from their pitcher.
"He was phenomenal. Like I said, we're just going to go back to work, and hopefully we'll dial it up with more hits against New Hampshire."

8 OSU gymnasts earn All-Conference honors
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – Eight Oregon State gymnasts accounted for 11 honors on the 2013 Pac-12 Conference Women's Gymnastics All-Conference teams, announced Tuesday by Commissioner Larry Scott. Kelsi Blalock, Brittany Harris, Melanie Jones, Stephanie McGregor, Makayla Stambaugh and Chelsea Tang earned first team honors and Erika Aufiero and Hailey Gaspar were named to the second team.
The All-Pac-12 team is determined by a combination of 50 percent regional qualifying score (entire season composite) and 50 percent Conference Championships score. The All-Conference first team consists of the top six all-around competitors, plus the top three competitors in each individual event not among the all-around honorees. The second team All-Pac-12 consists of the top two all-arounders who were not named to the first team (as all-arounders or in an event), after such the top gymnasts from each event who were not yet named to the first team or the second team would be selected to the second team.
Stambaugh, a senior from Sacramento, Calif., earned first team All-Pac-12 on vault, uneven bars and floor exercise. It is the fourth straight year she's been recognized with first team honors. She earned all-conference honors on the floor in 2010 and 2011 and on the bar as well in 2011. In 2012, Stambaugh garnered first team in the all-around. She ranks No. 5 on the bars, is tied for No. 13 on floor and No. 13 in the all-around. She scored a career-best 9.975 to win the Pac-12 title on the bars last weekend, set a career-best on the vault (9.95) to tie for second and scored 9.925 on the floor to tie for fourth.
Jones, who received all-conference honors for the first time in 2012, earned first team All-Pac-12 on the balance beam and floor exercise this year. The Melbourne, Australia native, tied for the Pac-12 title on the floor last weekend with a 9.950 tying her career-best. Jones, a senior, is tied for No. 20 in the nation on the floor. In 2012, Jones finished fourth at the NCAA Championships on the floor exercise, the best finish at Nationals for the Beavers since 1993.
Blalock, a senior from Puyallup, Wash., returned to first team All-Pac-12 status on the vault for the second time in her career after earning first team recognition in 2011. She received second team all-conference accolades in 2012. Blalock currently ranks tied for No. 6 in the nation on the vault. She scored 9.95 to tie for second at Pac-12 Championships last Saturday.
Harris, a junior from Tulsa, Okla., is a first-time first team All-Pac-12 honoree on the bars after earning second team recognition in 2012. Harris scored a career-best 9.95 on the bars to tie for second in the meet and secure OSU's second conference championship in three years.
McGregor, a fifth-year senior from Calgary, Alberta, is a first-time all-conference selection earning first team status on the bars. McGregor nailed a beautiful bars routine to score a career-best 9.95 in the final rotation of Saturday's Pac-12 Championship title win for the Beavers.
Tang, a sophomore from Eugene, Ore., is a first-time honoree garnering All-Pac-12 First Team on the balance beam. Tang's 9.90 on the beam at last week's Pac-12 Championships led the Beavers and was good for a third place finish on the event.
Gaspar, a senior from Cypress, Calif., is also a first-time All-Pac-12 honoree receiving second team accolades on the vault. Gaspar, who transferred from Boise State following her junior year, was a first team All-Western Athletic Conference member on vault and floor in 2011. Gaspar scored 9.925 on the vault helping the Beavers to a conference title last Saturday.
Aufiero, a freshman from Sparks, Nev., is a second team all-conference selection on the bars. She scored a career-high 9.925 on the bars in the final rotation of Pac-12 Championships helping the Beavers to the conference title. Aufiero was one of only two freshmen honored on the all-conference teams.
Fans can watch the action from last Saturday's Pac-12 Championships again this Thursday at 4 p.m. when the meet re-airs on Pac-12 Networks.
The Beavers host the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships – Corvallis Regional next Saturday, April 6 at 4 p.m. in Gill Coliseum.
