LOWVILLE Lowvilles town supervisor plans to run for a second term this fall.
Ive thoroughly enjoyed the past 16 months, said Randall A. Schell, a former Lewis County probation director. I would look forward to a couple more years.
Nobody else has announced plans to run for the two-year post.
Mr. Schell, a Republican, two years ago ran unopposed after longtime Supervisor Arleigh D. Rice decided not to seek an 11th term.
After earning the elected post, Mr. Schell retired at the end of 2011 from the county Probation Department, where he had worked since 1975 and as its director since 1986.
Its fun, Mr. Schell said of the supervisor post. Its challenging. It gives me the opportunity to meet people, see people and stay connected to the community.
One of the challenges facing the town is staying within the constraints of the state tax cap legislation each year.
We certainly want to do everything we can to stay under that, Mr. Schell said.
He said he hopes to continue working with leaders of the county, village and neighboring towns.
Town and village officials are working collaboratively in an effort to resolve ongoing water quality issues in the municipal supply, which comes from the villages filtration plant near Crystal Dale, Mr. Schell said.
Several initiatives, including coordinated flushing, have helped bring water quality closer to compliance with the stringent federal and state guidelines, he said.
And the village has agreed to bill the town for flushed water at its base rate, rather than the 1� times rate that town customers typically are charged, Mr. Schell said.
Thats been a cooperative effort, he said.
The town and village also have undertaken energy-efficiency projects, including installation of new lights at their shared municipal building, as well as switching from heating oil to natural gas service to achieve further energy savings, Mr. Schell said.
The town is planning to switch the town garage to natural gas, as well.
Town leaders must continue to monitor the condition of its roads and bridges and try to help foster continued residential and commercial development to expand the tax base, Mr. Schell said.
One way you do that is by keeping taxes down and providing infrastructure, he said.
The Arthur Road resident is a member of the Pratt-Northam Foundation board of directors, Lowville Lions Club, Lowville Elks Lodge, Lowville Masons and Lowville United Methodist Church.

Flu vaccine, which is shipped in phases, has arrived at Southeastern Utah District Health Department.
High risk individuals will be able to get a flu shot on Oct. 11 and 12 at 28 S. 100 East in Price. The clinics will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The cost is $21, but the health department can bill Medicare, Medicaid, PEHP, DMBA, Mailhandlers, CHIP, Molina and Altius. Individuals must present their insurance cards at the time of service.
David Cunningham, health officer for the department said flu vaccine will be available to high-risk people only until after Oct. 23.
High risk individuals, including children six to 23 months old, anyone 65 years or older, people with chronic health problems or weakened immune systems, women who will be pregnant during the flu season, health care workers providing direct patient care and out-of-home caregivers of infants six months and younger.

A recent long, hot weekend in an unfortunately un-air-conditioned apartment had an oddly inspirational effect on us. As we lay on the couch, languishing in the heavy heat, we started thinking about how difficult it is to stay stylish in the face of humidity and high temperatures. Suddenly we were reminded of one of our favorite classic filmsÂ--Cat on a Hot Tin RoofÂ--which takes place in the sweltering South and features two ultra-cool stars: Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman. Though the 1958 box-office hit is set in steamy Mississippi, the cast manages to look coolly chic thanks to their boudoir-influenced outfits and lightweight, polished pieces. Happily these trends also happen to be exactly what's on the market right now, making this film the perfect selection for June's Currently Channeling!
While we imagine that most of you are familiar with the Tennessee Williams-penned, Tony-nominated play that the movie is based on or have seen this iconic celluloid treasure already, a quick crash course for the uninitiated. The story focuses on a wealthy, dysfunctional, Southern family in turmoil, with the majority of the focus on Brick (Newman), Maggie (Taylor), and their destructive marriage. We'll refrain from going through all the nuanced plot points, but it's important to note that Brick has a broken legÂ--which he hurt jumping over a track hurdle, in a drunken attempt to revisit the athletic glories of high schoolÂ--so he spends his days indoors, in pajamas, drinking. Also worth nothing: though Maggie's marriage is crumbling, she's always immaculately groomed and gorgeously turned out in polished pieces, like crisp button-ups, simple stilettos, and full-skirted dresses. Combining these references, we rounded up a stylish selection of fifties-inspired pieces with the same lightweight look as Brick and Maggie's wardrobes. Read on for all the details on these summery chic pieces and have fun emulating this cherished cinematic gem!
Juicy Couture Flower Punk Couture Earrings ($58)
For a complete Maggie-inspired ensemble, we think these Juicy Couture earrings will give you the glamorous finish you are looking for. Small crystals hang down from the gold metal leafs, which add a subtle sparkle to any outfit, so dress up your daytime denim or pair them with an elegant frock.
Patterson J. Kincaid Fern Belted Dress ($110)
The shirtdress, commonly worn by housewives in the fifties, has definitely evolved over time, but it's still a wardrobe staple. And with the recent denim craze, we thought this classic take from Patterson J. Kincaid would be a superb addition to today's story. The dolman sleeves and skinny leather belt nipping in the waistline give this basic shape a girlish charm. We believe Maggie would approve of this number for a casual outing.
Elizabeth and James Ocean Suede Pumps ($207)
We are seeing a plethora of chunky heels and wedges recently, but when it comes to classic, chic women's footwear, nothing compares to the ultra-feminine D'Orsay style. The blush color and snake embossed detailing of this Elizabeth and James pump make for a sexy, yet dainty shoe that can be worn both day and night. We can easily imagine Maggie wearing this exact pair to the next Pollitt family gathering.
Dooney & Bourke Candy Stripe-Betty Shopper ($135)
When we think about 1950's handbags, the first characteristic that comes to mind is a structured, rectangular shape. In our search to find a worthy bag, we spotted this Dooney & Bourke shopper, which perfectly captures the classic structure of that era with the addition of modern accents, like leather ties that cinch the sides. We also love how closely it resembles the striped bag Maggie carries in the film!
Maeve Lynx & Leo Dress ($138)
Maggie looked absolutely stunning in her white, deep v-neck dress at Big Daddy's birthday celebration. The chic frockÂ--you can see a similar creation on the S/S 10 Donna Karen runwayÂ--was given a little more shape with a white belt cinched around the waist. The Lynx & Leo dress mimics that same great silhouette, but with a more youthful tone. The subtle, eyelet and dobby patchwork adds texture and sweetness to the otherwise simple dress.
Topshop Stripe Shorts ($28)
Of course our story wouldn't be complete without paying homage to the handsome Brick with a nightwear piece; after all, he does spend a majority of the film sulking in his navy pajamas! Summer evenings can get pretty warm, so instead of a traditional pajama pant, we opted for these adorable cotton shorts from Topshop. The blue and peach pinstripe along with cuffed hemline with have you hitting the sheets in style.
Urban Decay Lipstick ($22) in 5150
This Urban Decay lipstick is an ideal combo of edgy attitude and dramatic glamour, which is in perfect keeping with Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Plus, the formula is really creamy and the color is super chic, two things that would no doubt appeal to Maggie. And if that wasn't enough, notice how the case has a tiny dagger at the end? Talk about dangerous beauty...
Rachel Comey Breezy Top ($311)
Whether they are fastened all the way to the top or giving us a boudoir moment with shear fabrics, we can't seem to get enough button-ups lately, so when we stumbled upon Rachel Comey's flirty, cropped interpretation, we were filled with excitement. Plus, it reminds us of Maggie's buttoned blouse from the beginning of the film! The short hemline removes the conservative element of the shirt, but we think it would look very stylish over a pair of high-waisted shorts. Not to mention, it's super comfortable, loose fit will keep you cool all summer long.
Forever 21 Linen Layered Skirt ($15)
Maggie first appears in the film wearing a slim, high-waisted, hip-hugging, knee-covering pencil skirtÂ--a glamorous necessity for any well-dressed woman at the time. Although the pencil skirt's hemline has crept up over the years, its ability to show off the feminine figure still remains. Accordingly, we included this woven version from Forever 21; it not only meets all of your casual ensemble needs, it is also a savvy office-appropriate option too!

An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.

Broad leafed grass always does better with more moisture, as do most plants. But this year there is so little ambient moisture in the ground that even these hardy grasses are failing to grow without water. This photo illustrates an area that is being sprinkled regularly with the dry grass denoting where the end of the stream falls.
The green lawns and trees full of leaves in the central area of Carbon County are deceiving. That the area is in a drought can be easily overlooked.
The reason everything looks so green? Excellent water storage.
Scofield Reservoir, which presently holds about 46,000 acre feet of water, is saving the area from stringent water restrictions. But that reservoir is going down fast, because weak spring water flows did not do much to fill it further. With very little moisture in the ground in the valley, residents and agricultural users are using the water quickly. Combine that with the early summer heat in the area, lots of wind and literally no new moisture in months, and that could add up to real problems.
The area has counted on that reservoir storage for a long time (almost 70 years) and without it central Carbon County would be a very different place. It is estimated that the water is being used at approximately 2,000 acre feet a week. While nothing is definite and if rain came that could change that present useage, there may be curtailment of supplies later in the summer.
Bob Davis, the Price River Water Commissioner said that to him this seems to be a near record year for lack of runoff.
"I have never seen it this dry this early in the year," said Davis, who has been in the job he is doing for 22 years. "I am increasing the flow into the river from the reservoir every other day. I also worry about how much we are losing in evaporation (with the hot temperatures) and in transport (water sinking into the dry ground around the river, canals and ditches)."
Davis said that in early April the level of the reservoir reached its highest peak at about 56,000 acre feet. As of Tuesday the level was at 46,995 and moving down fast.
A recent report out of the Natural Resources Conservation Service on water flows, ground moisture and available supplies paints a picture of no immediate crisis (because of the good storage from a wet winter in 2010-11), but also points out how far below average precipitation and runoff has been this year.
"Of special note this month are current streamflows or more specifically the lack thereof," said Randy Julander, who specializes in snowpack and water supplies for the NRCS. "Southern Utah has gone a month to two months without measurable precipitation and soil moisture conditions in some cases are below plant wilting point, which has negative consequences for range forage production and fire potential."
That's one of the reasons many agencies involved in fire control in the state put in such stringent requirements for having fires last Thursday. "Wilting point" basically means that there is not enough moisture to keep many plants alive. It's a condition almost anyone who has ever planted flowers has experienced. You plant the flowers and take good care of them for a few days and then something else takes precedence. Suddenly, after not watering them like you should, they are wilting for lack of moisture. Sometimes you can soak them and bring them back, but often they either don't make it or come back very sickly. Unfortunately there is no big hose to water all the plants out on the public lands or many large private parcels, short of mother nature, that can solve the problem the county is presently experiencing.
This problem is not only a fire danger because of dry plants, but also leads to the destruction of range forage for many of the animals that live in the areas affected.
"The problems are a little different out in the desert area than they are in the mountains," said Brad Crompton, a habitat biologist for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. "In the desert we did have some of our guzzlers that had water in them actually stored from last year. We have placed some emergency ones there too. That is mostly for the pronghorns that live out there."
When it comes to the forests, there is another set of problems; forage and water.
"For the deer and the elk the snow in the winter and the spring and the rain in May and June are critical for those animals' health," he said. "They don't do well when it doesn't happen and it hasn't this year."
What the prolonged results will be of dry winter, spring and now summer remains to be seen. But it is obvious that a change in the weather to a wetter pattern would help immensley both for man and creature. However if that doesn't happen, there are many different scenarios that could take place. Water for agricultural use could be curtailed as municipal users could be cut way back as well. Wildlife numbers could suffer badly, and worst of all, fire, which remains a flickering danger in wet and dry years, could determine a lot in the coming months in eastern Utah.
All those that the Sun Advocate talked to concerning this article asked the public to be aware that despite the fact water restrictions (voluntary or involuntary) have not been invoked, that everyone should watch their water usage and only use what they need.
With the ongoing drought, and the possibility that next winter could be dry as well if the weather pattern continues, each and every drop of water that is saved now, will be there for use later.

YIELD: Makes 4 individual pizzas or 1 large pizza
- 3/4 cup warm (105-115°F) water
- 2 1/2 tsp (1 package) dry yeast
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 1/3 cups bread flour
- 1 cup semolina flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Vegetable oil for coating
- Cornmeal for sprinkling (optional)
- 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
- 1 tsp chopped fresh oregano
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup tomato purée
- 4 plum (Roma) tomatoes, sliced
- 4 1/4 oz part-skim mozzarella, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Combine the water, yeast, and honey in a large bowl. Stir in just enough of the bread flour to make a batter about the consistency of buttermilk. Cover and let proof in a warm place until the surface is puffy, about 1 hour.
Add the remaining bread flour, the semolina flour, and the salt. Knead in a stand mixer fitted with dough hook on medium speed, or by hand, until the dough is smooth, springy, and elastic, 4 minutes with the mixer or 10 minutes by hand. Rub the dough lightly with oil, place in a clean bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise at warm room temperature until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
Punch down the dough, sinking your fist into it to deflate it, and divide into 4 equal pieces for individual pizzas or leave it whole for a large pizza. Form the dough into smooth ball(s), cover, and let rise again until doubled in volume, 45-60 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly oil a 16-inch pizza pan or large baking sheet with vegetable oil or scatter with cornmeal.
On a lightly floured surface, roll and stretch out the ball(s) of dough to an even 1/4-inch thickness. If the dough has not relaxed properly, it may spring back as you stretch it; simultaneously spinning and stretching the dough will help. (This may be accomplished flat on a work surface or by spinning and tossing it into the air, then catching the disk on the back of your hands. Avoid tearing the dough or creating very thin patches.) Transfer the dough round to the prepared pan.
For the topping, mix together the olive oil, basil, oregano, garlic, and pepper to taste. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough. Spread evenly with the tomato purée and top with the sliced tomatoes and mozzarella. Scatter the Parmesan over the top.
Bake until the dough is golden brown and the toppings are very hot, 20-30 minutes for 1 large pizza or 10-12 minutes for individual rounds. Cut into wedges and serve at once, or let cool for 5-10 minutes and serve warm.

CHAUMONT When a new restaurant opens or a restaurant changes hands, word spreads like wildfire.
Such is the case with the Crescent in Chaumont, most recently Spencers. Before that it was the Duck Inn. Way before that it was the Mariner.
Despite a problem with their phone system (wed been calling on and off for over a week with no answer), limited information on a Facebook page and no website, we pulled up to the restaurant on a recent Wednesday and were lucky to find a space in the parking lot.
While their phone might be off, the neon beer signs in the windows were on, telling us that the Crescent was open for business.
The restaurant was bustling with activity inside. Several families were already there and more followed. The long bar that you have to walk past to get to the dining area was doing a good after work business. Several older couples wandered in and seated themselves at the attractive booths lining the walls and windows.
Unbeknownst to us, it was wing night at the Crescent. That would explain the number of generally unruly kids running around the place. And also the faint aroma of Franks Red Hot Sauce hanging in the air.
We, too, settled into a booth. Looking around, it seemed the restaurant was recently remodeled. Attractive stained wainscoting was complemented with peach-colored painted walls above. Several framed photographs of Chaumont lakeside scenes from years ago were a nice touch.
Two huge pots full of extra long pussy willow branches were in the corner of the room near a gas-fired fireplace. Each table was decorated with a small vase of cut flowers.
The menu is small and manageable. I like that. There are a dozen or so each of starters, sandwiches and burgers and entr�es (they added the apostrophenot me!).
And a trendy statement at the top: Our food is made with the freshest ingredients we can find locally Chaumont Bay perch; meat, poultry, dairy and eggs from local farms. These are the flavors of the place!
From what we could tell, none of the starters utilized anything local except one, their perch bites. Calamari and shrimp come frozen from an ocean far away. And we all know where onion rings, mozzarella sticks and fried mushrooms come from the SYSCO truck!
So we got the perch bites ($7.95), steamers ($9.95) and bruschetta ($7.95).
The perch bites were tasty little morsels, sweet and moist, lightly battered and quickly deep-fried, enjoyable even without the accompanying commercial tartar sauce.
The steamers, a bakers dozen, were good as well, very small littleneck clams perfectly steamed till they just opened. We spooned the delicious lemon butter in the bottom of the serving dish onto the clams yummy.
Bruschetta consisted of four thick wedges of toasted bread covered with an ample amount of chopped fresh tomatoes and basil, garlic and olive oil, finished with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Another tasty starter and, like the others, nicely presented.
We had put our entr�e order in and realized a salad was never offered. In fact, its an add-on. For $1.95 you get a side salad and dinner rolls (their apostrophe, not mine).
We took the salad option and were glad we did. The house salad consisted of fresh greens, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots and purple cabbage with a wonderful house balsamic vinaigrette.
I upgraded to a Caesar salad ($4.95) that was excellent crisp and fresh bite-sized pieces of cut romaine, a lovely Caesar dressing (you could actually taste the anchovies in it), crunchy croutons and just the right amount of grated Parm.
Entrees, for some reason, did not measure up to the starters and salads. And it didnt have anything to do with the dirty martini one of my reviewmates was drinking, either (more on that later).
Chicken piccata ($12.95) was probably the best of the lot. It consisted of a chicken breast lightly saut�ed in lemon and wine reduction, finished with capers. The chicken was a juicy, generous portion served on a bed of rice pilaf. Seasonal asparagus completed the plate (as well as the other entr�e plates), perfectly cooked and mighty tasty.
Blackened salmon ($13.95) was nicely crusted with a bit of a peppery snap. The edges of the salmon were slightly dry, but the center was still acceptable. It wasnt a terribly big piece of fish, making it a little difficult to blacken properly.
The menu said the salmon would be served with a homemade dill sauce, but the dab on the fish appeared to be more buttery than dilly. Real mashed potatoes with visible bits of skin were OK. We doctored them up with some butter and they were better. They could have been served warmer.
Haddock ($11.95) is available broiled or fried to a golden crescendo. We went with fried. Not sure what a golden crescendo is, but it was nicely fried, same batter as the appetizer perch bites. A pinch of salt was needed to help bring out the flavor of the fish.
The portion consisted of two good-sized pieces of haddock accompanied by the great asparagus and the tepid mashed taters.
Boos shrimp pasta ($12.95) had great potential: Jumbo shrimp, artichokes, Kalamata olives and capers over angel hair pasta in a white wine garlic sauce. (The dish is named after one of the restaurants owners, Boo Harris).
First problem the shrimp were far from jumbo. They were about the size of your pinky. The tails were still on them, making for an inconvenient maneuver with knife and fork.
Next quite a bit of the pasta was clumped together. Either it hadnt been rinsed properly or hadnt been put in the sauce soon enough. It was a huge distraction to a dish that had so much promise.
And there wasnt enough wine sauce, so the dish ended up being stuff with clumpy pasta.
Cold, clumpy pasta, I might add. All of the entrees were far from proper serving temperature. Get someheat lamps or get those dishes out to the tables quicker, folks.
Desserts ($4.95 each) were good-sized portions, all made in-house.
Pineapple upside-down cake appeared to be more of a layer cake with dollops of whipped topping. The cake was a bit on the dry side.
Carrot cake was quite good, made traditionally with raisins and walnuts and a nice cream cheese topping.
Chocolate mousse pie was not light and airy like mousse should be, more like chocolate pudding in a pie shell.
Our favorite was the peanut butter pie, a creamy peanutty filling atop a cookie crumb base, decorated with crumbled Oreos.
Dinner for four came to $127.49 before tip.
Our waitress was cheerful and friendly and made every effort to make our visit a pleasant one. A hostess/dining room manager (one of the owners, we learned) was super attentive. She swiftly appeared with a martini glass to rescue a drink that was incorrectly served in a rocks glass. She offered us coffee when our waitress neglected to do so.
With young kids running all over the place, the Crescent felt more like a Chuck E. Cheese than a respectable restaurant. People at one of the family tables were playing some kind of game that involved rolling dice. Maybe we stopped by on the wrong night, but we didnt feel like we wanted to rush back very soon.
The food is generally good and a good value price-wise, but needs a little refining especially the entrees if the Crescent wants a reputation for serving more than just casual bar food that you can get anywhere.

With 11,000-foot peaks and an average of 170 inches of snowfall a year, Aspen is the ultimate snow country. And there is more than one exhilarating way to put all that fresh powder to use. While visiting the mountain town for the Winter X Games, the Roaming Gnome tried out Aspen's ultimate outdoor activities. Here's his guide to help you figure out how to pack the most outdoor action into your visit:
1. Go Skiing: This is the no-brainer. Aspen Snowmass has four mountains to suit a range of skiing skill sets. Hit Aspen Mountain for expert groomed runs and 76 trails. For gentler slopes perfect for families and beginners, hit the greens and blues at Buttermilk. And to feel the rush of the double-black-diamond backcountry, hike up local favorite Highland Bowl.
2. Go Snowboarding: Boarders are welcome on any of Aspen's slopes. But if you really want to shred your heart out, you belong at the terrain parks at Snowmass and Buttermilk. As host of the Winter X Games, saying they know how to build an epic snowboard park would be a serious understatement.
3. Go Snowmobiling: Want a little more horsepower in your snow day? Head to T Lazy 7 Ranch for a snowmobile tour. After a quick lesson, you'll get to drive your own machine past Maroon Lake to take in the view of Aspen's most iconic mountains: the magnificent Maroon Bells.
4. Go Snowshoeing: If you want to take in the breathtaking scenery at a more leisurely pace, try your hand…er, feet…at snowshoeing. The Aspen Center for Environmental Studies hosts daily guided snowshoe tours through the Aspen groves and historic Ashcroft mining town. All equipment and even lunch is included.
5. Go Fat Biking: The newest passion to hit Aspen, fat bikes are mountain bikes with giant tires for navigating snow-covered trails. Rent your gear at Stapleton Ski or Ute City Cycles in town, bundle up and then hit the Rio Grande trail.
6. Go Paragliding: You don't get the most breathtaking views of Aspen from standing on a mountain; you get them from flying off one. Aspen Paragliding offers tandem paragliding trips daily, weather permitting. You take the gondola up Aspen Mountain, then glide off for an incredible bird's-eye view — touring the town from 10,000 feet.
To start planning your Aspen snow day getaway, check out Travelocity's Aspen vacation page.

Land Use Change in Indonesia
Workers making bricks in a former sugarcane field in Silir village.... News PhotoAgriculture,Asia,Brick,Business,East Java Province,Economy,Farm,Farmer,Field,Food,Former,Freight Transportation,Horizontal,Indonesia,Land,Making,Occupation,Outdoors,South East Asia,Sugar,Sugar Cane,VillagePhotographer Arief PriyonoCollection: LightRocket © 2013 Arief PriyonoKEDIRI, EAST JAVA, INDONESIA - 2013/09/28: Workers making bricks in a former sugarcane field in Silir village. Many farmers in Indonesia have had to convert agricultural land because it is no longer profitable. Consequently Indonesian agricultural production has declined. Although Indonesia is an agricultural country, it still has to rely heavily on imported food staples such as rice, sugar, soybeans and corn. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) announced that the number of farming households in Indonesia has decreased by 5.04 million families in the past 10 years. The 2003 Census of Agriculture claimed 31.17 million farm households. But in 2013 the number had fallen to 26.13 million. Indonesia has been listed as the world's largest sugar exporter. In 1930, when Indonesia was still called the Dutch East Indies, some 179 sugar factories produced over 3 million tons of sugar each year. Currently there are only 62 sugar factory in Indonesia..

Avalanche @ Rangers
Madison Square Garden, 7:00 p.m. Monday
Rangers record: 1-1-1
Avalanche record: 3-2-0
Monday night the shorthanded Rangers will take on one of the
league's most exciting young teams, the Colorado Avalanche. The Rangers will have to overcome adversity
in the coming weeks with injuries to key players Chris Drury, Marian Gaborik
and Vinny Prospal. Without them, the
Blueshirts will be forced to count on the line of Brandon Dubinsky, Artem
Anisimov and Ryan Callahan to carry the offense. The trio will be the only line left intact,
and many of the team's other forwards will be thrust into bigger roles in the
coming weeks. Erik Christensen is
expected to return to the Rangers' lineup in between Derek Boogaard and Todd
White who will be making his season debut.
The free-wheeling Rangers have displayed an improved offense
this season and solid secondary scoring, but that will be put to the test
without the three veterans up front. The
Rangers certainly appeared to have depth at forward coming into the season, but
they couldn't have expected to need it this soon. With such important players out, the
Blueshirts would do well to re-focus on their own end where defensive lapses
have become too frequent. It will be
difficult for the team to consistently outscore opponents especially without
three of its stars, so playing positionally sound, mistake-free hockey will be
essential. Henrik Lundqvist has been as
good as always thus far, but his numbers have suffered as a result of the
Rangers' defensive inefficiencies.
The Avalanche surprised a lot of people last season with a
playoff appearance and near-upset of the San Jose Sharks. Colorado
struck gold with its signing of veteran goalie Craig Anderson and several
out-of-nowhere performances from young forwards. Obviously the team expected a lot out of No.
3 pick Matt Duchene, but guys like Chris Stewart and Brandon Yip emerged to
play big roles for the Avs. The
Avalanche will provide a serious test for the Rangers, as they are arguably the
fastest skating team in the league. It
will be difficult for New York to shut down
wave after wave of the swift and talented Avalanche forwards, but the Rangers
may have a chance to exploit an aging and declining Colorado defense. For the Rangers to stay with the Avalanche,
they'll have to be very careful with the puck, as one or two turnovers could
put the game out of reach quickly. One
key for New York
tomorrow and in the next few weeks will be to capitalize on power play opportunities. There's no doubt the Rangers will struggle to
score as much with Gaborik out, but making the most out of man advantage situations
would go a long way.
Probable Rangers lines per Andrew Gross:
Brandon Dubinsky-Artem Anisimov-Ryan Callahan Alex Frolov-Derek Stepan-Ruslan Fedotenko Sean Avery-Brian Boyle-Brandon Prust Derek Boogaard-Erik Christensen-Todd White
Marc Staal-Michal Rozsival Michael Del Zotto-Dan Girardi Matt Gilroy-Steve Eminger
