With winter weather in the forecasts, Rocky Mountain Power reminds customers it's time to make preparations for possible power outages due to winter storms. A video on the company's website, "Every Minute Counts," walks customers through an overview of the power restoration process and provides information about staying safe during an outage.
"While our people do their best to protect the reliability of electric service to our customers, outages sometimes occur," said Mike Felice, Rocky Mountain Power safety director. "Rocky Mountain Power encourages customers to be prepared for the coming winter weather including knowing how to contact the company and what they can do to be safe during a power outage. This video provides a lot of practical information."
Felice said the first step customers should take when an outage occurs is to look for lights in neighboring homes and check the circuit breakers or fuse box to determine whether or not the cause is a tripped breaker or blown fuse. If it's not a breaker or blown fuse, the toll-free number to report outages is 1-877-508-5088. This number also connects customers to information about current outages in the area.
"Simply assuming someone else has called to report the power outage can delay response time," said Felice. "We want to make sure power is restored as soon as possible, and customer calls helps us in that effort."
Felice also suggests that during an outage customers turn off all electrical equipment and leave just one light turned to the on position in order to prevent overloading circuits in the home when power is restored.
Additional power outage safety tips include:
Never use kerosene or propane heaters inside without proper ventilation.
Do not use charcoal in your house or garage.
Preserve body heat by wearing multiple layers of clothing.
Placing blankets and towels around windows and doors helps keep heat inside.
Full freezers and refrigerators will keep food safe for about two days when kept closed.
If someone in the home is on life support, be sure to have a back-up system and a plan of action for an outage.
Keep everyone, including pets, away from downed power lines and call 911 immediately. Then call Rocky Mountain Power toll free at 1-877-508-5088.
Do not touch a person if a power line is touching them. Immediately call 911.

STOWE–Finally, after years of being on the losing end of things, the North Country girl's hockey team picked up a win against Stowe, defeating the Raiders 2-0.
The score could have been much higher, but Stowe's netminder Danielle Mayo was a rock in the nets, stopping sixteen shots in just the first period alone.
"We had a good first period, but Mayo is a tough goalie to beat," said coach Claude Paul.
Mayo stood tall until the third period, when the Falcons were finally able to get a pair past her.
BURLINGTON–Two minutes into overtime, Ryan Paul cut through the slot and fired a high back-hander in the glove side of the net to complete the Falcons comeback and give North Country a 5-4 win over Colchester to move their record to 5-0 on the season.
"We are very excited with the win, and to be 5-0 on the season," said head coach Andrew Roy.
The boys had to battle all game long against the Lakers, and were down 2-0 after one period of play.
With 7:59 left in the second, Logan Fortier popped in his first goal of the night to cut the lead to 2-1. Ben Pecue had the assist on the score.
NORTHFIELD–The Falcon hockey girls overcame a 1-0 first period deficit to defeat Northfield 2-1 on Saturday afternoon.
A late arrival at the Kreitzberg Arena led to more first periods trouble for North Country, as the Marauders (2-4) went up 1-0, putting the Falcons once again behind the eight ball.
"It was one of those typical first periods that seem to be plaguing us as of late," said coach Claude Paul.
In the second the girls played a little better, but still could not find the back of the net, and headed into the third still down a goal.
JAY-Another game and another night of poor road conditions for the boy's hockey team from North Country.
They must really like that holiday favorite 'Let it Snow,' because each of the last two times out, the weather was frightful, but inside was indeed delightful, as the Falcons once again scored five third period goals, besting 1-3 Rice to stay undefeated at 4-0 in the young season.
"We pressured early, controlled the pace, but did not get any return on our efforts in the first two periods," said coach Andrew Roy.
LYNDON–After three close quarters, the North Country girl's basketball team shook loose for seventeen fourth quarter points en-route to a 42-25 win over the Lyndon Institute Vikings.
The Falcons weren't helped out at all by the officials, as they had four players with four fouls by game's end.
"It is tough to adjust to officials when they change the way they are calling the game mid-way through," mused coach Christiane Brown.
Early on, the refs were letting the girls play a fairly physical style of B-ball, but by the end, as Brown puts it, "they were calling some real ticky-tack stuff."
NEWPORT–BFA St. Albans completed the season sweep over the North Country boy's basketball team on Saturday, defeating the Falcons 88-63 to move to 2-3 in 2012.
"We struggled in every facet of the game," said NCU coach Brian Bonvechio. "It was a very tough outing to say the least."
At one point the game was tied 11-11, but the Bobwhites went on a mad tear, and at the break, they were up 49-2.
In the second half they salted it away to put the Falcons' record at 1-4.
HYDE PARK–Drew Gallup's nineteen points paced the Lake Region Rangers, as they moved to 5-0 after defeating Enosburg (3-1) to win the Lamoille Holiday Tournament on Saturday.
Shaquille Urie chipped in eight points in the victory, and now the team will ready itself for Matthieu St. Amour's antics on Thursday as they will host Missisquoi at 7:00.
MT. HOR– It was a tough day at the races for the North Country Nordic ski teams this weekend, as both the boys and girls finished last their respective divisions.
JAY–While the weather outside was frightful, the Falcons were so delightful, firing home eleven goals en route to a 11-0 holiday thrashing of the woeful Burlington Seahorses.
"We had a lot of fun out there tonight," said coach Andrew Roy. "Our upperclassmen played well as did our younger guys, who are finding ways to help out in our offense."
The fun got started right off the bat, errr, uh $200.00 composite stick.
Kody Halikas scored the first of his three first-period goals 1:14 into the game, sniping home a low shot past Stephanie Landry from the slot.
JAY–The North Country girls hockey team continued their pattern of disorganized play in the first period, which eventually led to their downfall, as they lost 3-1 to the Harwood Highlanders on Saturday night.
"Maybe the holiday's started early," quipped head coach Claude Paul. "I don't know what it was, but we couldn't seem to do anything right."
The night started off with starting goalie Mikaella Doran sitting on the bench due to illness, so that opened the door for junior Brianna Bocelli to make her first start of the season.
The Highlanders would not be kind to her.
CRAFTSBURY–Christmas came early to the Craftsbury Academy, complete with a visit from Bill "Santa Claus" Lee, as both the boy's and the girl's teams won their respective divisions of the Stephen Willey Memorial Tournament on Saturday.

Tie-Matic HD: How to Take Twist Ties to a Whole New Level
Filed under: Uncategorized
What is it about twist ties that makes us love them so much? Maybe it's the fact that they've always come free with purchase of garbage bags (that's how I've always gotten mine). Maybe it's that they're the most idiot-proof method on earth for closing anything. Or maybe it's because they're always on the good stuff, like bags of bread, popcorn, and cotton candy. I don't know. It just seems like they've always been there, and always will be, because it's tough to improve on something so thoroughly useful.
This past weekend, my husband and I finally got around to hitting the local farmers' market, which we've planned on visiting for months. We bit the bullet and shirked the dumb grown-up responsibilities (like working out and home maintenance) that have shackled us for the past 8 or so weekends, headed downtown, and dove into stand after stand of deliciousness. And do you know what? Everything came twist-tied. Yep. We picked up a couple of bunches of basil from a group of up-and-coming young chefs who are about to open their own "farm-to-fork" restaurant, and grow their own herbs and produce. Twist ties. And then there was that huge loaf of artisanal multigrain bread from the extremely hip pseudo-Italian bakery in the next town. Twist ties.
Same thing for flower bouquets, bunches of carrots, bags of cookies, blown-glass pendants attached to display cards – you name it. It was like Twist Tie Mania out there. Someone must have had some pretty sore fingers and wrists from twisting all those things. Unless…
They had something like the Tie-Matic HD, an automated twist tie machine that closes bags and bundles cables in a second (literally), but gives your wrist a break from repetitive twisting motions. This, as it turns out, is how food companies turn out bagged products in high volume without paying little elves to sit up through the night, fastening twist ties. You just keep the Tie-Matic HD filled with rolls of ties, hold your bag (or coiled cables) in the allotted space, and let the automated tying machine spring into action. It reduces labor hours, prevents frustration and repetitive-motion injuries, and saves a lot of money in general. Sounds almost as good as farmers' market baked goods, doesn't it?

NORWOOD Efforts to remove invasive Eurasian milfoil from Norwood Lake have led to the discovery of an unidentified plant species that also is believed to be invasive.
Aquatic Invasive Management LLC, Au Sable Forks, has completed a survey of the 400-acre lake and has begun hand-harvesting the troublesome Eurasian milfoil.
During their survey, workers discovered a half-acre patch of an unidentified plant.
They were not absolutely sure what it was, Norwood Mayor James H. McFaddin said.
Aquatic Invasive Management sent samples of the plant to the state Department of Environmental Conservation for identification, but results were inconclusive.
Mr. McFaddin said the plant likely will flower in August; more samples can be collected then, and it will be easier to identify.
It is suspected that the plant is another type of milfoil, the fast-spreading aquatic plant that led to the cleanup efforts in the first place.
If that comes back as milfoil, I would call it a moderate problem, Mr. McFaddin said. It means we have to remove it.
Milfoil is common in many New York lakes, ponds and rivers. Left on its own, it can choke out life and make boating or fishing difficult. It was discovered in Norwood Lake in small amounts last year.
Except for the discovery of a possible second milfoil species, the results of the lake survey were promising, Mr. McFaddin said.
We feel at this point that we came out of it pretty good, because there wasnt a large growth in the lake of the Eurasian milfoil, he said.
The early detection and slow growth mean the plants spread can be kept in check, but it will take yearly harvesting sessions to keep it from becoming a problem, Mr. McFaddin said. Complete eradication is nearly impossible.
Were dedicated to keeping Norwood Lake clear of this milfoil, he said.
The discovery of a possible second invasive species could prove financially taxing. Mr. McFaddin said proceeds from the annual Norwood Lake Regatta in August will be dedicated to cleanup efforts.

Minus Seven

The Clippers finished the 2006-2007 season 40-42, seven games below last season's 47-35 mark. The seven games the Clippers should've won this season that they didn't:
- Game 11, November 25 - Minnesota 104, Clippers 96: The Clippers were a particularly good team this season when leading after three quarters, but they screwed the pooch in this one. Not only did the Clippers lead by 12 going into the fourth, they never had the game out of their grasp -- until they allowed 35 points in the fourth quarter. They couldn't get a stop, literally not one, inside of 5:30 until Foye missed with 13 seconds remaining. And it wasn't even Kevin Garnett who hurt them; KG had only two FGMs in the period. Marko Jaric killed them. And Mark Blount. Mark Blount! I imagine that if Randy Foye goes on to have a distinguished career, he'll look at this game as a niece piece of the foundation. His vicious drive off the dribble against Sam Cassell inside of a minute sealed the W for Minnesota and dropped the Clippers to 0-4 on the road - a problem that we never knew then would become an epidemic.
Sound Clips & Recap
- Game 24, December 20 - Toronto 98, Clippers 96: The worst buzzer-beater of the season for the Clips. The Clippers actually trailed through most of the game, but inched ahead inside of a minute on a pair of Shaun Livingston FTMs for their first lead since early in the 2nd quarter. For the most part, Shaun and Elton brought the Clips back with a 9-1 rally late in the 4th quarter. Shaun took control of the tempo and forced the action, running an effective two-man game with Elton who, after seeming tired through most of the season's first six weeks, demanded the ball down the stretch. Ultimately, the Clippers pissed away a crucial possession with the game tied and :44 seconds when all they could get was a trapped Cuttino Mobley in the left corner throwing up an airball with the shot clock expiring. Unfortunately for the Clips, Toronto was more fruitful. They isolate for TJ Ford up top way, way, way beyond the arc. From the recap:
Amazingly, Ford doesn't even cross the arc until 3.2 seconds or so. He puts this little stutter-fake move on Ross, who has managed to stay in front of him. Off the fake, TJ catches Ross back on his heels for a nanosecond. The shot is a fadeway.
And it lands.
Sound Clips & Recap
- Game 53, February 14 - Atlanta 96, Clippers 93: If someone asked you just prior to the season to look at the schedule and bet your life on one game, which one would it have been? Me? I'm dead right now because the Clippers lost to the Atlanta Hawks at Staples Center, a game that, by the process of elimination, was the most winnable game of the year. This game was so winnable that the Clips had no compunction about keeping Elton Brand out of the lineup to treat his back spasms, an injury he probably plays through if the Clippers have a bigger game. There was something else about this game that was really unsettling: Having played 47 minutes of great basketball and given the responsibility to own the box with the game on the line and Elton out, Chris Kaman completely spazzed out on the Clippers' final offensive series. There was no shot clock and the Clips inbounded the ball with only :19 left and down two. Chris got a good look at a little 5-foot hook shot, but missed it short. But he got the rebound with :09, so there's plenty of time le------Never mind, Kaman just threw up the ball off his back foot - an airball - even though every Clipper on the floor was running toward him to collect the ball and reset for the final nine seconds. Undoubtedly, Chris Kaman's stunted growth was one of the central causes of the Clippers' underachievement this season and it was on display in the closing seconds of this one.
Sound Clips & Recap
- Game 71, March 28 - Houston 92, Clippers 87: While clawing their way back to respectability a few weeks back, the Clippers played well in a series of close games against good teams. The Clippers won a couple of these games, and a couple of others - like the loss to San Antonio on the road -- were moral victories. This one they should've won at Staples, but didn't. This was a crisp, high-quality game in which the teams combined for only 20 turnovers. Even though the Yao-Hayes-Battier frontline defense was ferocious and their bigs killed the Clips on the glass, Elton had a solid night from the floor. And Jason Hart had his best game as a Clipper with 16 points on 12 shots with zero turnovers. But Houston's halfcourt craftiness was better than the Clippers' help defense and McGrady was able to draw a double-team to free up Shane Battier for a dagger in the far left corner to put the Rockets up one inside of a minute. The Clippers never scored again.
Sound Clips & Recap
- Game 75, April 7 -- Denver 96, Clippers 93: This loss was all the more frustrating because it ended the Clippers' most satisfying stretch of the season, the only time in nearly a year that the Clippers looked like the team we hoped they would be in 2007. For the majority of this one, the Clippers sustained that momentum. They built a 15 point lead during a 16-0 spurt in the second quarter -- most of it with Elton resting. Four guys recorded steals during the first three minutes of the run, and Thomas looked like the 6'10" freak of versatility he was supposed to be. There was a surge in the kinetic energy if you were at Staples. The Clippers were close to winning their fourth straight, and topping a win over the Lakers with a pivotal blow to Denver, who sat just above them in the standings. Little by little, Iverson started to heat up. A couple of balls bounced against the Clippers, then things started to deteriorate, culminating with that Linas Kleiza 3PM. What made the shot even worse was that the Clippers had stifled Denver on the possession, inducing Kleiza to heave up an absolutely brick - such a brick, in fact, that it clanked off the glass and took an awkward bounce toward Carmelo Anthony. But fluke bounces didn't seal this one. The Clippers stopped executing, and Jason Hart just couldn't stay with Iverson.
Sound Clips & Recap
- Game 77, April 10 - NOOCH 103, Clippers 100 [OT]: This is when the sheen really came off the Clippers' resurgence and we realized that there were still serious problems far more profound than a couple of injured point guards. Even though Tyson Chandler's absence ceded all kinds of sick advantages for the Clips in the front court, the Clippers couldn't work anything for Brand, Kaman, or any of the guards in the post. Still, in the most dramatic final minute of the season, the Clippers - who had never led in the quarter - matched the Hornets bucket for bucket. With one second left in regulation, EB worked himself a 15-footer over David West and hit it to send the game into OT. But overtime was a disaster. It's always particularly humiliating to watch the irony at work when a team loses a game on the failure of its strengths. The Clips couldn't come down with a rebound in overtime and gave up six points on second-chance shots in a span of under two minutes. It was probably one of Elton's finest games as a pro.
Sound Clips & Recap
- Game 80, April 15 - Sacramento 105, Clippers 100. There are particular games you're just better off being out of town for. A part of me harbors a little survivor guilt for not being there. I have the game recorded, but I don't want to watch it. From what I understand, the Clippers were never really in it and that they didn't do one thing acceptably except shoot FTs. The Clippers had the chance to get into the playoffs through the front door and, on that day, had only to beat a bad basketball team at home, but couldn't. But I guess that's not even the point.
J.J. Adande, who I think is a stellar columnist, resorted to that lazy brand of sports essentialism today by suggesting that the Clippers are destined to be the Clippers. Clipperblog isn't much of a Calvinist, so maybe that's why he finds that kind of tautology unsatisfying as an explanation for this stuff. I guess we have six months to figure it out.

Frank Yallop, Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer
On where the team needs to go from here
"Tough one. Déjà vu from the last home game we had. Should have four more points than we've got. The team kept going, fighting and that's good. It feels empty because of the way we have put a lot of effort into the games we've had and you don't get rewarded for it. I think we've played pretty well, created some good chances today, had another chance in the last dying seconds to win it and we didn't. We deserved to win. We had some good performances today. Overall, I can't fault the guys for effort."
On quality of penalty and Mike Magee not taking it
"It wasn't a good penalty kick. Mike missed his last one. Jeff scored a penalty this season. I'm 50 yards away, I can scream whatever I want, it's up to them to sort it out and who's taking it, and they decided Juan is taking it"
On the referee and Quincy Amarikwa's second yellow card
"Didn't touch him. It's maybe a foul on Quincy, he's not diving. He gets run into and he goes down. I can't comment on the referee, but he's wasn't good. He missed some plays that were important in this match."
On the morale of the team
"Nope, It's fine. We know we should have won two more games, maybe three, but we haven't. It's not like we have fumbled through the game. I thought we played well today. I thought we played well, we dominated. They had some spells, they're a good team. But you look at the chances and stuff that we did, it's just disappointing that we don't have a win."
On the missing piece to get over that hump
"The missing piece is ice-cold finishing in the last seconds of a game. Away from home it's difficult to win matches, but at home you got to win. That's how you get your points and do well on the year. We've had two games, and there is no time left on the clock, and we have a penalty kick. The players know that it is important to score that. It's just a shame we haven't gotten the points for the performances we've had. It's a long season, but you can't keep falling behind the guys ahead of you."
Jeff Larentowicz, Chicago Fire defender
On the result, missing two penalty kicks at the end of games:
"It was bizarre - to see that once is tough, but twice is even worse. It is tough to take."
On Anangono taking the penalty kick:
"Juan stepped up and grabbed the ball, and that's just what happened. As the captain and the one who's made a penalty this year I should have been the one to take the penalty but I didn't – that's on me, not on Juan."
On the second yellow on Amarikwa:
"I'm not going to comment on referee decisions. In the end, it's a red card and it's something we'll have to deal with. Quincy has been outstanding for us. It's going to be a shame to have to miss him the next game, but we'll move on."
On not getting a result:
"The last three games we've certainly been the better team – Philadelphia, Montreal and tonight. I don't think that tonight the other team really wanted to win from the start. They were slowing the game down in the first half and got fortunate on the penalty call. I think it was a penalty because Patrick [Nyarko] clipped him, they got the goal they wanted and they slowed down. In the run of play, outside the last couple of minutes when we were pushing forward, I'm not sure they get a shot on goal from open play. All-in-all it's more of the same, but if we can get wins going forward it will be ok."
On the string of draws:
"We feel like we're playing so well at the start of the year and the build-up of points we feel should have makes the draws tough to take. Again, the way the next game goes – up or down will say a lot. If we win we're unbeaten with a win. If not, things look a little differently. Everyone needs to stay positive and keep pushing. The good thing is that we've been the better team the last three games."
On the play of Harry Shipp:
"Harry has been outstanding. If I had to say two guys that have pulled us through the first seven games, it's definitely been Harry and Quincy. As soon I, and I'm sure the coaches, saw him we knew he was going to do something for us this year, and he has, and needs to continue."
Quincy Amarikwa, Chicago Fire forward
On foul that led to his second yellow card:
"Clearly I don't think it was a foul, but it's not my decision to make so what can you do?"
On his goal:
"The ball came back to Harry, I had space in the middle, pointed and he put the ball right where I wanted him to. I took my first touch into the box, put a bit of my body on Farrell, saw that the keeper's legs were open and put the ball between his legs and that was that."
On the result:
"It's disappointing to not come away with three points, but we're putting ourselves in a position to win games. Juan puts that PK in and it's a different outlook. As long as we're coming away with points we're carrying this confidence into future games and it's just a matter of time before we're coming away with some wins."
Patrick Nyarko, Chicago Fire forward
On his performance:
"Since I got suspended, I had a week to reevaluate my game, I was struggling physically and that red card at the game in Portland affected me mentally. I decided to get back to basics and just play my game. I think it's been ok so far during the past three weeks but I'm still not happy because we're not getting the wins. I hope to keep playing the same, getting better and that we get the win soon."
On draws at home:
"It's been extremely frustrating, especially since we're dominating teams, we're out playing teams and creating the best chances and we're not getting wins – that's the most frustrating part. I keep telling the guys that if we keep playing like this we're not going to lose a lot of games and the tide is not always going to go against us like this. We just need to keep pushing and sustain that until the end of the game. We need to buckle down, even though we're frustrated, and the wins will come."
On how this year's start compares to last year's start:
"It feels differently this year because we are dominating teams. The last three weeks we feel like we deserved victories, judging from the fact that we that we've had possession and have created more chances than the other team – that's been the most frustrating part. We know we can play the soccer, now it's just how to find the victories – that's the test for us right now."
On the bye next week:
"We wish we were still playing just because we need to build momentum. The week off breaks that up, but guys are experienced and we know what we're doing right and will continued that stride when we play again."
MLSsoccer.com's Dan Haiek and Matt Doyle and break down the Fire's match vs. the Revs.
It's part of the magic of footy mythology that even with 22 players on the field, every game seems to center around the actions of a few trolls or the one great Prince. The other 20 or so characters stay in the background. But what makes the mythology live and move through time is that inevitably the seemingly inconsequential side characters develop their own story.
In Chicago, right now, that story is Quincy Amarikwa. For five years, his role in the fight scene was as a spear-holding extra, stabbing at people now and then as the camera panned by overhead. But now, the guy is hot. He's wearing face paint and screaming at people from his horse. I mean he's not only, finally, getting a run of starts, but he's already matched his top goals number in April. He's got not one but two hashtags of his own, he's running an internet marketing consultant business, he's teaching Sparky how to do laundry, and he's even risen to Fantasy fame.
After another goal in the Battle of the Franks in Montreal, people all over the league are taking notice. Not that Amarikwa is hiding. That's not his style. Saturday's matchup against former manager Frank Klopas brought a lot of cute nostalgic quotes, but Amarikwa was the only one who cut through the platitudes, saying, "Obviously it was nice to show him why I should have played more last year."
It's something that Amarikwa is used to, this approach of proving yourself. In a recent interview, he explained his approach as a substitute: You got five minutes to prove it, so prove it. Maybe that's why his substitute appearances were always marked by an almost impossible level of energy, physicality, hustle, and pace. He might only have five minutes, but he would bust those five minutes apart.
You can see as much in highlights from his past appearances. Turning guys, taking people on, ripping shots - no matter who the great Prince was in a particular game, Amarikwa demanded your attention. He was jumping in front of the camera, demanding his own scene. In San Jose, Colorado, and Toronto, fans loved the guy because he scared opponents - he's direct, pesky, tireless, sharp elbowed, and jacked. In his long haired days he looked like a Samoan rugby player. With his low center of gravity, giant thighs, and changes of direction, he now resembles an NFL fullback.
The problem was goals. Amarikwa was never a prolific scorer. Scoring 4 goals in 5 seasons as a striker isn't enough to get yourself a starting job.
And so, for five years, his MLS job description read something like this: "Impact substitute, sparkplug; i.e. ability to change game and create chances - not necessarily the one to take those chances."
That is, until last year, when Amarikwa was already on his way to dropping the spear and grabbing his own horse. The two bikes against Montreal (HE BIKES WHEN HE WANTS) may have been overshadowed by the excruciating miss in Toronto in September, but he continued to impress. His scoring rate per 90 minutes shot upwards.
Instead of contributing intangibles, he was contributing goals. The flying side volley against RSL helped turn the Fire's season around, and looking back now, it feels like an apt little analogy for his career so far. Because at first glance you watch it and you say, ok, a nice athletic goal late in a game, those are important. Good work. But then you watch the replay and you realize just how quick, how airborne, how technical the finish was. And you say to yourself, wait a minute, wow, that's a real goal scorer's goal.
This year, Amarikwa has started the season with three goals and an assist in five starts. He's the hottest player in the squad. And with manager Frank Yallop rewarding players' good form with minutes, Amarikwa is currently keeping DP Juan Luis Anangono on the bench.
It looks like Amarikwa found the efficacy he was lacking. He's transformed his old five minute blitz - all fight, opportunism, and "eff you" - into a 90 minute attack. It's the step we all wanted, and his mouthwatering partnership with Mike Magee is only just beginning.
What it means is that now, suddenly, the former side character Amarikwa isn't only creeping into the Prince's stories. He's developing a myth of his own.

#QuincyTime continued to take on a life of its own on this weekend when Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa scored the 54th minute equalizer in a 1-1 draw at Montreal on Saturday.
With the goal, Amarikwa has already equaled his total for the whole of 2013 just six matches into this season and has been involved in a goal in five of those games. Just to take it one further, Amarikwa has five goals and one assist in his last eight Fire appearances dating back to October 4 last season.
He started only five of those games.
So while the Fire are still winless in six matches (but unbeaten in five), Amarikwa seems to be the revelation early on this season. With the Fire having given up seven goals from dead ball sequences before Saturday, it was nice to see Amarikwa bury a set piece second ball for the Fire for a change.
One more look…
And for the second time this season, Quincy brought out the #cf97NaeNae to celebrate…
An MLS journeyman who's calling card has been coming off the bench, Amarikwa scored just four goals in his first 67 MLS matches but with six goals in the last year, he's already doubled his career goal total in 20 games with the Fire. As he continues to show efficiency on the field, I posed this question on Twitter Saturday…
It's still early but just wondering, could @QuincyAmarikwa score double digits this year? #cf97
— Jeff Crandall (@jefecrandall) April 12, 2014
What do you think are the reasons for Amarikwa's turnaround with the Fire? Will he become the eighth Fire player to hit double-digit goals by year's end? Give me your thoughts below!
After a heartbreaking draw against the Union last weekend, the Fire travel north to Montreal to face another side looking for a first win of the season Saturday (2:30pm CT on My50/TWCSC). The game has added spice with former coach Frank Klopas facing the Men in Red for the first time as opposition coach.
Here are a few tactical observations to keep in mind on Saturday.
Continued focus on the wing play - taking advantage of Shipp's positioning
In last Saturday's match, Patrick Nyarko returned to the starting lineup and impressed. On the other side of the field, Harry Shipp looks much more comfortable when he cuts inside, as opposed to hugging the touchline and taking on players.
Shipp's set piece play alone is worth a place in the starting eleven, but his ability to pick a pass is also a dangerous weapon. Shipp's tendency to drift inside also benefits the Fire for other reasons.
First, in the absence of a creative central midfielder, it's not felt as much when the rookie comes central and occupies those positions. Against a team like Montreal that boasts an impressive attack, the use of two defensive-minded midfielders can be necessary (as I will explain in more detail later) but with Shipp filling the gap, the Fire don't lose much in an attacking sense.
Shipp's positioning also opens the door for Greg Cochrane to show his attacking talents from the left back position. Cochrane has fit seamlessly into the Fire back line and his excellent crossing ability has been on show in recent matches.
With the Impact's wide players like Mapp reluctant to track back on a consistent basis, the Fire could again benefit from attacking in the wide areas.
Continuing to win the ball high up the field - catching Montreal in transition
In the first half last week against New York, the Impact sliced through the Red Bull midfield as if they had three extra players on the pitch. Klopas emphasized transitioning the ball from defense to attack as quickly as possible and for most of the first half, that worked to devastating effect.
Montreal should've been well ahead at halftime but actually went into the break behind 2-1. The reason for this was because the Canadian team was caught trying to force the ball forward too quickly, resulting in turnovers, which the Red Bulls capitalized on twice in three minutes. I expect the Impact to try this tactic again on Saturday.
- INFOGRAPHIC: Where Fire and Impact are scoring, conceding from
Players like Mike Magee and Quincy Amarikwa both like to hound the opposing team when they are in possession in their defensive third. The Fire's first goal last week was a perfect example of this, with Amarikwa nicking the ball from a defender before setting up Magee for an easy tap in.
If the Fire can force the Impact into turnovers high up the pitch, it could prove costly for the Canadian team.
Attempting to contain Montreal's fearsome attack - staying compact and limiting mental mistakes
Just when we thought an attack featuring Marco Di Vaio, an in-form Justin Mapp and Felipe was going to be a challenge, the Impact went out and acquired promising American youngster Jack McInerney.
This move could see the Impact change formation to a two striker statute with Di Vaio and Jack Mac up front or see McInerney play in one of the wide attacking roles behind the target striker. In any case, the fluidity of the Impact's attack will be a major challenge for the Fire to contend with on Saturday.
None of the Montreal attacking players stay static for long, with Felipe essentially having a free role in the hole, Di Vaio often pushing wide, and Mapp cutting inside with the ball at his feet on a regular basis. With this in mind, the Fire defense needs to stay organized and compact and not allow Montreal to drag players out of position.
This has not been a problem for the Fire this season, with most of the team's nine goals against coming from lapses from set pieces. A clean sheet Saturday afternoon would be a massive achievement.
Prediction: The Fire score early and finish the game off late 2-0 with goals from Magee and Hurtado.

Mike Magee (a great dancer) can redirect a cross like it's nobody's business.
In this edition of slow it down, Quincy Amarikwa (also a great dancer), picks Amobi Okugo's pocket with flying colors, runs the ball down the field and crosses to Magee... you know the rest.
Voice of the Fire Dan Kelly put it best by describing Magee's play on the goal as being like, "A shifty little feline after a seven hour nap." You may be confused after reading this, but I promise after you watch the video below, it should all make sense. (unlike the duo's dance moves)
Let's slow it down!
Mike Magee will tell you he should have had at least two goals on Saturday.
Whether it was finishing on that awkward back and forth play that saw him with an open look at goal while Sheanon Williams was down in the box in the 88th minute or the game-ending penalty and rebound save from Zach MacMath at the death, the fans and he himself feel like he should have had another.
And it's not necessarily easy to point that out about Magee but thankfully, he tweeted this yesterday:
1st tweet after last nights game was always gonna be awkward so let's get it over with. I will make up for that! Mind if I move on? #cf97
— Mike Magee (@magee9) April 6, 2014
So now that that's out of the way, it's worth noting something else: Mike Magee did open his 2014 Fire account off a great feed from Quincy Amarikwa in the 16th minute Saturday. That goal was a small milestone as it pushed Magee inside the Top 15 (actually tied for 14th place) on the club's all-time goal scoring list with Lubos Kubik and Cuauhtemoc Blanco at 16 (MLS Regular Season) and 19 (All Competitions) goals respectively.
You took a pause real quick right there and realized that the Fire have only had 16 players hit those numbers over the course of 17 years. Now you realize that the club hasn't really had a consistent goal scorer over multiple seasons since the likes of Ante Razov, Josh Wolff and Damani Ralph came through.
There's no doubt that Magee got to those odd milestones quicker than Blanco or Kubik but he also beats Razov, Wolff and Ralph to those numbers by a considerable margin...
The tables:
MLS Regular Season Goals - Fastest to 16
|GP to 16 Goals
|Total Fire Goals
|Mike Magee
|Ante Razov
|Josh Wolff
|Damani Ralph
|Brian McBride
|Dominic Oduro
|Hristo Stoitchkov
|Dema Kovalenko
|Chris Rolfe
|2005-09; 2012-14
|Cuauhtemoc Blanco
|Lubos Kubik

|Jesse Marsch
Fire All Competitions Goals - Fastest to 19
|GP to 19 Goals
|All Competitions Goals
|Mike Magee
|Josh Wolff
|Ante Razov
|Damani Ralph
|Dema Kovalenko
So while you could probably go back in Magee's short Fire tenure (he hasn't even been here a calendar year) and point to a few more opportunities that would see his goal total even higher, he's still on a record scoring clip for the Fire.
And Mike, keep your head up after that penalty kick save. We expect to see lots more of these celebrations this season:
If he had a super power what would it be? Which teammate would win American Idol? Who would play him in a movie?
It's all in this episode of Both Sides of the Badge with Chris Ritter presented by Quaker.
Alright class, we've already been through what #QuincyTime is... and if you were sleeping through the lesson here it is again, but nothing really explains it better than these two GIFs below, made possible by a nice meg from Patrick Nyarko to equalize the score on Saturday...
After picking up a point in the home opener against Supporter's Shield winners New York last week, the Fire head to D.C. looking to steal all three points for the first time this season (LIVE 3pm CT on NBC Sports Network).
D.C. are in transition and are also in search of their first win. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective:
Continuing to attack with pace - utilizing Alex
Against New York last week, the Fire looked very dangerous on the counter attack when Alex was given space to run at the Red Bulls defense. Not only was the Brazilian able to beat players 1v1 but he drew defenders out of position, opening up space for players like Mike Magee and Quincy Amarikwa to move into.
In D.C.'s last match away in Toronto, Ben Olsen's team was also incapable of defending against the quick counter attack. Michael Bradley and Co. found it much too easy to bypass the lone United defensive midfielder Perry Kitchen who received little help from his fellow midfielders.
I expect D.C. to deploy another central midfielder to help out Kitchen against the Fire, but if the Men in Red can continue to break with that much pace and the interplay between Alex, Magee and Amarikwa continues to improve, the Fire should fare well on Saturday.
More attacking play from wide - taking advantage of D.C. team not fully settled
Against New York last weekend the Fire were forced into making changes at both outside back positions due to injury and suspension respectively.
Matt Watson and Greg Cochrane have had barely any time to work with their new teammates since their recent moves and it showed at times in last week's game. Against D.C., where there is a good chance both will start again, I look for an improvement in the attacking play from both players.
It will also be interesting to see how Watson/Shipp and Cochrane/Joya combine down each flank after another week's worth of training together. While there is certainly a weakness in the D.C. midfield, a balance between attacking down the middle and from the wings is necessary.
With so many new players on the field for D.C., positioning, especially defensive positioning, is a major problem. This was quite obvious in the Toronto match, with D.C. players often gesturing to one another in an attempt to determine who to mark.
If the Fire can get Watson and Cochrane forward to support the attack, it will pin D.C. back and could benefit the away team.
Keeping Eddie Johnson isolated and limiting set pieces - making it harder for D.C. to find the net
D.C.'s most notable offseason acquisition was striker Eddie Johnson, who on his day is one of the league's best strikers. In his first two games however, Johnson was an isolated figure up front, managing only 1.5 shots according to the website Who Scored.
The Fire's defense did a fine job shutting down Thierry Henry last week and will be looking to do the same against Johnson and perhaps register a first shutout of the season. D.C. have yet to score this year but are a major threat from set pieces with players like Jeff Parke, Bobby Boswell and Fabian Espindola looking to get on the end of quality deliveries from Luis Silva.
D.C. got men in the box at any opportunity against both Toronto and Columbus and I expect it to be no different on Saturday. After giving up yet another goal from a set piece last week, the Fire coaching staff will no doubt be encouraging the players to keep their concentration, especially against a team desperate to pick up its first points and goal of the season.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from Alex and Quincy Amarikwa.

The Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District, plagued by financial difficulties over the past year, is ready to get back to its core mission of providing conservation-related services and programs to the county and is moving forward with an ambitious stream-bank stabilization plan that will make use of new methods to prevent soil and sediment erosion and improve the fish habitat in two bodies of water in the town of Rodman.
The $300,000 project is being overseen by the district and will be paid for with state and federal grants. After receiving bids, the contract was awarded to J.B.s Excavation Services, Appalachin. It will target the area where Gulf Stream meets Sandy Creek in the town of Rodman. The work will be completed during two phases over two years.
We look forward to doing this project and hope to use it as a demonstration of the types of projects we would like to do in the future, said district technician Levi F. Rudd, who is the project manager.
The project will make use of the so-called Rosgen technique, named after David L. Rosgen, the hydrologist who pioneered the method.
Instead of stone or freshly cut lumber, the district will use trees from the county forest that have blown over in high winds.
Exposed to the weather, the trees became stained and cannot be used for lumber.
With their roots intact, the trees provide ideal material for bank stabilization, Mr. Rudd said.
The trunks of the trees will be embedded in the stream and creek banks while the roots will protrude into the water, providing an ideal habitat for the regions fish species, including trout, and keeping the force of the water off the bank.
The project also calls for the creation of a 35 foot buffer between the neighboring agricultural land and the stream and creek for conservation purposes.
Hardwood trees will be planted in the buffer zone to provide shade that will lower the temperature of the water, making it more hospitable to fish.
Due to the trout season, work on the project can continue only until Sept. 15, Mr. Rudd said.
For that reason, the district is planning to complete two-thirds of the project this year and the remaining third next year.
Additional materials for the project are being purchased from Double A Willow, Fredonia; McQuade and Bannigan, Inc., Watertown; and Kings Quarry, Adams Center.
The project is being funded through grants from the Environmental Protection Agency and the state Department of Agriculture and Markets.
The district is an independent state-mandated agency created by the county and receives more than half of its operating revenue from the county. The rest comes from state grants and a small amount of earned income.
The district had its regularly-scheduled grant funds frozen by the state Department of Agriculture and Markets earlier this year after it was revealed to its board of directors that the former executive director, Brian J. Wohnsiedler, had been borrowing money against future grants to stretch the budget.
Mr. Wohnsiedler resigned after being confronted about the practice by the board.
Christine M. Watkins, previously the districts agronomist, was appointed interim executive director before being permanently appointed to the position at the districts June board meeting.
Mrs. Watkins said that while the stream bank stabilization project is being funded through a separate pool of money, the district is on its way to begin receiving its regularly scheduled grant funds again after the Jefferson County Board of Legislators agreed to give the district an $85,000 loan so that it can finish paying back the $175,000 it owes to the state.

Dr. Pfeffer is one of the very best docs in Modesto. I've been a patient for 10 years. His bed-side manner is impeccable. He is gentle, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the latest technology and treatments. Wonderful about ordering any tests I have requested.

Editing of Frost Notebooks in Dispute
A recently published compendium of Robert Frost's personal notebooks is coming under attack from two critics who say that the editor of the volume mistranscribed hundreds, if not thousands, of Frost's words.January 22, 2008 booksNews
A Terrifying Poet
By his 40's, midway through his life, Frost had invented a new profession for the poet in the United States, combining sporadic residence on college campuses with a continual roving around the country, a sort of permanent campaign. ''He was the first voyager,'' Allen Ginsberg remarked, ''a kind of pioneer, the original entrepreneur of poetry.''April 25, 1999 artsReview
A Belligerent Poet in a Gentler Light
The persona Robert Frost presented to the public was that of an amiable hayseed with a twinkle in his eye: a Yankee nature poet masquerading as a snowy-haired New England farmer. It was a carefully fashioned image that helped Frost to become one of America's most popular poets, but it was also an image that belied the dark, troubling themes of his work, its preoccupation with loneliness and fear and dispossession.April 23, 1996 arts
