POTSDAM - Historically some of the top teams in the United States Collegiate Ski Association (USCSA), both the Clarkson University Alpine Ski and Nordic Ski teams are returning to the USCSA Nationals this week where they will vie for top honors in Sun Valley, Idaho.
Last year, the Golden Knights Alpine team had their best finishes ever, with the women placing third overall and the men taking fifth. This will is the seventh straight year that the men have reached the USCSA Nationals, while the women are making their fifth straight appearance. There are far fewer teams on the Nordic side, but that hasnt kept the Golden Knights men from reaching the nationals every year since 1985, while the women have traveled for the championships every year since 1997, with both teams claiming the USCSA National titles in 2012.
The USCSA Nationals begin this morning. The Alpine schedule will begin on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. with the womens giant slalom. The mens giant slalom will take place on Wednesday, and the womens slalom and mens slalom will go on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
For the Nordic team, events will start today at 9 a.m. with the sprint event. On Wednesday the 8.5K Classic race begins at 9 a.m. Thursday is an off day for the cross country skiers, but they will return for the 15K Freestyle race on Friday and the 15K Relay on Saturday.
Clarksons Alpine Ski team had four men place in the top 10 this season in the MacConnell Division, led by junior Christian Perryman (West Lebanon, NY). Perryman had seven top 10 finishes this year, including a pair of victories, one of only two Clarkson skiers to take the top spot in any events this year. Freshman Sean Donohue (Bolton Landing, NY) had six different top-five showings, including three runners-up placements. Sophomore Alex Slemp (Clifton Park, NY) posted a pair of victories during 2013 and ended up in sixth-place in the MacConnell Division during the season.
Senior David Simon (Montvale, NJ) was a late entry for the Knights, but came back strong after missing the first six events of the season. Even with his late start, Simon placed in 31st among all MacConnell Division skiers, and even placed seventh at the USCSA Eastern Regionals in the giant slalom.
Those four will participate in both events at the USCSA Nationals, while a pair of specialists will also make the trip. Junior Chris Gero (St. Albans, VT) will participate in the giant slalom on Wednesday, having finished in the upper half of the participants at the USCSA Eastern Regionals, while freshman Austin Florian (Southington, CT) came in fourth in the slalom at the same event. Florian also had five top-10 finishes during the regular season overall.
The women made impressive strides late in the season last year and appear to be on the same path in 2013. Freshmen Ashley Yoviene (Boston, NY) and Kelly Rowland (West Windsor, NJ) were the only two skiers to place in the top 15 overall in the MacConnell Division, but that pair as well as freshman Taylor Manderson (Ballston Spa, NY), sophomore Mycala Stebbins (Canandaigua, NY) and junior Sarah Shafer (Petoskey, MI) all posted top-20 finishes in one of the two events at the USCSA Eastern Regionals. Yoviene was the top skier with a pair of top 10 showings, but four of the five skiers all led the Knights at one point during the 2013 season.
Inconvenient thaws and poor weather limited the Nordic schedule in 2013, but the Golden Knights were up to task as usual. Both the mens and womens team will be siphoned down from their regular season squads for championship purposes as 10 skiers will travel to Idaho for Clarkson.
The mens team will be led by senior Andrew Klem (Dalton, MA), who posted victories in both the 8.5K Classic and 15K Skate at the ECSC/USCSA Regionals in late-February. Klem also took second place in the Sprint Skate race and has his eyes on the top spot overall at the Nationals. He will have plenty of competition from his teammates, though none have the same overall resume that Klem has over the season. Freshman Eric Mallery (Webster, NY), junior Nick Marshall (Huntington, VT), and senior Zach Russo (Fayston, VT) placed two through four at the ECSC Regional in the 8.5K Classic, while Russo and Mallery took third and fifth, respectively, in the Sprint Skate. The 15K Skate was dominated by the Knights as well, and sophomore Adam Merkwan (Meredith, NH) showed his ability by taking second in that event. Overall, Clarkson could spend plenty of time on the podium with a wide variety of combinations from the five competitors.
The womens races also have numerous possibilities, led by freshman Ashley Forshey (Scotia, NY). Forshey won the Sprint Skate event at the ECSC Regionals and also won the endurance 15K Skate event.
Challenging her in both events was teammate Olivia Dawson (Scottsville, NY). The sophomore took second place in both events and was fourth in the 8.5K Classic event, too, and certainly could claim one of the titles this week. Additionally, all season long sophomore Taryn Dausman (Syracuse, NY), junior Eleanor Vane (Fairport, NY) and junior Erin Corrigan (Remsen, NY) have added plenty of top five finishes and will fill out a strong roster that could come away with the USCSA National title.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
When Glen Wells and his partner Ralph Stevenson started the Cowboy Club in 1972, it would have been hard to image that Wells envisioned the rowdy cowboy bar as a place to spend quality family time. Nearly 40 years later, however, a family affair is just what the Cowboy Club has become.
With a reputation for fine dining, a newly refinished interior and a kitchen staff that includes Wells' wife Tammy, daughter Lyn and son Ty, Wellington's CC Kitchen is as tasty and family friendly as a club can be.
"The food in this place started as nothing more than a pizza kitchen," laughed Wells from his establishment Wednesday morning. "While the pizzas were great, if you wanted to be on top in the local bar trade, you had to run a steak house."
According to Wells, in 1974 major renovations were made to the Cowboy Club's property and the staff began serving the menu many locals are familiar with today.
"I tell you it was touch and go during some of those early years," said Wells. "To tell you the truth, we simply had no idea about how to run a steak house. One time after things got a little 'hot' in the kitchen and I lost my entire staff, I had to walk across the road and ask Carolyn McLean to help me out. She was running the local cafe at that time and she came right on over and started teaching me to cook."
McLean stayed on for a few years according to Wells and things at the Cowboy began to turn around. Going into the 1980s and '90s the CC Kitchen developed and maintained a reputation for great food, served in a fun atmosphere for a great price.
As Wells' kids, who grew up around the restaurant, got older it became apparent they had a taste for entertaining all their own.
"I was signed up for Pro-Start the first year they taught the course at Carbon High," said Wells' son Ty, who described Pro-Start as advanced Home Economics. "I was all set to drop the class the first day of school but my mom asked me to try it for one day. I did, I had a great time and I have been involved with cooking and entertaining ever since."
Ty went on to graduate from Utah Valley University with a degree in culinary arts and made his way back to Carbon County and his family's establishment.
His sister Lyn, the baby of the group, is still taking classes at UVU working toward her bachelor's degree in hospitality. The family as a whole loves to cook and they love to eat.
"We take vacations based solely around food," laughed Ty. "The whole family will go down to Las Vegas just to try some new food. You know, trying out different kinds of food is the way we come up with many of our local specials."
Those local specials have brought the family closer together and turned up some of the most original food to be seen in the Castle Valley. The crew's "Saturday Night Special," brings together five courses and includes an appetizer, main course and dessert which would be at home on any Food Network show.
"This whole idea started with my very first cooking competition," explained Ty. "I stole my sister's famous Caesar Salad recipe and we blew the judges away with a rack of lamb entree."
Ty's presentation took fifth in the state overall and brought home the best entree honor to Carbon High. From these humble beginnings, a tradition was born. Every Saturday night, Ty, his sister Lyn, Glen and Tammie put together an eclectic blend of western flavors for local palates to enjoy.
Saturday night appetizers move from Chili Rellenos wrapped in Won-Tons then covered in Chili Verde and Jalapeno Sour Cream to Ahi Tuna with Mango Chutney. Entrees are anything from Steak Au Poivre to Lyn's Lamb Shanks. Desserts include Stacked Apple Pie, Peanut Butter Cup Mousse and fresh Doughnuts made in house along with coffee ice cream. All ice cream served at the Cowboy Club is made from scratch and in the restaurant.
"It's funny, Lyn is the baby but she pretty much runs the show these days," said Ty of his soft spoken sister. "She puts the menu together most weeks and is responsible for making most of the desserts. And I have to say we couldn't do this without our mom's help in the kitchen."
Whoever is doing the cooking, the Saturday Night Special at Wellington's Cowboy Club is not to be missed.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Landry Jones was calm and collected Saturday against West Virginia.
And his private quarterback builder, George Whitfield Jr., absolutely loved it.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Landry Jones was calm and collected Saturday against West Virginia.
And his private quarterback builder, George Whitfield Jr., absolutely loved it.
"He was strong in all phases," Whitfield said of Oklahoma's fifth-year senior quarterback. "He threw strikes, and he moved his receivers up and around."
But this is the Landry Jones that so many Oklahoma fans have come to know.
The one who throws an interception at least every game. The one who toys with triple coverage. But always the guy who never rides the wave.
However, we in the media ride him for it. His performance against Baylor? Meh. It wasn't anything inspiring. Nothing, as they say, to write home about. His performance weeks and weeks ago against Kansas State? Headline worthy — in a bad way.
Then came Oklahoma's first game in Morgantown where the gunslinger went 38-of-51 for 554 yards and six touchdowns. Just one interception.
That's the Landry Jones who goes high in the NFL Draft.
But during Saturday's fourth quarter, where Oklahoma and West Virginia scored on nearly every drive, there was Jones.
Calm and collected.
During the postgame interviews, freshman wide receiver Sterling Shepard talked about how cool and relaxed Jones was while the rest of the team was on upset alert.
When The Oklahoman telephoned Whitfield after the game and asked what he thought about Jones' best performance, he said, "He was who he has always shown that he is."
Whitfield continued.
"He's a big-time quarterback that played like it," he said. "He's all the things you'd expect from a big-time performer. There's certain expectations your team should have and security your team should feel from your quarterback. That's what Landry brought."
Jones threw touchdown passes for 4, 76, 4, 11, 7 and 5 yards. And that 76-yarder quickly built steam when junior wide receiver Jalen Saunders found an open opportunity to run. Jones also gave the Sooners key yards, especially when OU coach Bob Stoops watched his prized short-yardage package, the Belldozer, get stopped.

|Ashe Starts Search for New Superintendent
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 30 November 2012 06:30
Ashe Schools will begin their search for a new superintendent, that after yesterday's announcement by Dr. Travis L. Reeves that he'll be leaving that position to take on the Surry County schools. Reeves resignation is tentatively set for January 1, 2013. He said in the release,
"I have truly enjoyed living and working in Ashe County." And that, "My family and I have made many friends and created meaningful relationships. I will miss Ashe County and will always carry the pride that is demonstrated here in my heart. The decision to resign from Ashe County and join Surry County is based on moving my family closer to grandparents and immediate family who live and work in Surry County." Charles King, school board chair said, "We appreciate the dedication, hard work and leadership shown by Dr. Reeves. He has led the school system through a tough economic time which required difficult decisions to be made." Dr. Reeves has been superintendent in Ashe County since July 2009. The Ashe County Board of Education has a regularly scheduled meeting on Monday and will begin the official process of finding a new superintendent.

The surge in property valuations in Scofield Town is a necessary correction to assure that taxes are collected fairly from all property owners in the county. However, the county's Board of Equalization will listen to the evidence of those who demonstrate the increases are excessive.
That was the word from County Commissioner John Jones and Clerk/Auditor Robert Pero Monday as they explained how taxes could go up in Scofield and elsewhere without any of the county's taxing entities voting for an increase.
As reported in last Thursday's Sun Advocate, this year's revaluation of property in Scofield has led to increases in taxes up to 300 percent. But as the commissioner noted, that would be because the properties in question have been unrealistically undervalued for years. That is not fair to the majority of taxpayers in the county, he noted.
Without naming names, Jones said at least one home purchased for more than $200,000 had been counted on tax rolls at less than $80,000. One aspect of the tax code that make the impact even harder is that many of these homes are secondary residences. Primary residences are taxed at 55 percent of assessed value. Second homes pay on 100 percent.
Pero said that the county has anticipated disputes in the revaluation and has set aside three full days of hearings at the Board of Equalization Sept. 7 - 9. The board is also hearing taxpayers by appointment to avoid lines and long waits.
Both officials said that the burden of proof will be on the taxpayers to show that the valuation process came up with an unfair assessment, usually by means of a certified independent assessment.
Another issue arising from the tax increase is that townfolk and nearby cabin owners around the lake have already noted that they don't get the same services as those who live closer to urban areas.
However, it is not as if they get no services at all for their taxes, Pero and Jones countered.
"We get to choose where we live, where we recreate," Jones noted, saying that it is a matter of personal choice to own property in distant, rural areas. However, the county has bought a fire engine for the community.
Other items on the list of services came from Pero:
Planning and zoning; law enforcement from the Sheriff's Office; wildland fire protection; public lands advocacy; predator control; $750,000 for two new bridges; and maintenance of class B roads and highways. Those are from the county's share of the taxes collected, roughly a third of the total. The school district gets about two-thirds.
While the county's reassessment may be stirring some discontent, the county isn't the only entity that sets a value on property. The state tax commission handles the assessment of big industrial operations, and those "centrally assessed" valuations have been dropping.
The assessed value of Carbon County's top industrial firms is now only about two-thirds of what it was in 2008, a plunge of nearly a half-billion dollars.
According to numbers provided by Pero, the 2008 value of those centrally-assessed properties was a little less $1.5 billion and now stands at a little more than $1 billion. In exact, hard numbers, the valuation is down $481,452,276.
The state's ongoing devaluation of the major firms has brought with it a potentially greater share of the tax burden by other, smaller taxpayers.
The reason for this, according to Pero, is that state law allows all taxing entities in the county to receive revenues equal to the amount collected during the previous year, plus any increase attributed to growth. That certified tax rate is set annually by the state. This is why tax rates can vary despite the fact that neither the county nor the school district have voted for an increase in years.

He probably doesn't know he's talking to a baby. But even if he did, would it matter? Probably not.
At first, you tried to reason with him...
"Hey man, can we keep it a little bit more civil in here? Do you really have to use the N-word so often? Let's be adults about this. It's just a game, and we're all here to have fun."
But it was like he didn't even hear you. Almost as though you weren't yet capable of speech! You looked to your sister for help...
"Seriously, are you hearing this shit?"
But she was worthless as usual.
"I'm gonna be a doctor AND a fire-man!"
You pause. You think about your life. And you come to the conclusion that the guy you're spending all this time and energy on is basically this guy:
And so, with a flourish, you throw your headphones to the ground.
"Fuck this noise."
I know, Ragequitting Baby. I know. I'm sorry it had to go down like this.
It's enough to make you question why you play video games in the first place.

WADDINGTON - St. Lawrence County Democrats had their grief doubled Saturday as news of the death of K. Daniel Haley, 83, of Waddington circulated.
Mr. Haley, Waddington, was the first Democratic assemblyman to be elected from the 110th District, serving from 1970 to 1976.
His death on Friday followed that of Walter V. Basmajian, who was St. Lawrence County chairman during Mr. Haleys electoral success and worked with him on his campaigns.
It is shocking. I just attended Walters funeral, St. Lawrence County Democratic Chairman Mark J. Bellardini said. We just buried one of the biggest icons in the Democratic Party; now were going to turn around and bury a man who was the first Democratic assembly person up here.
Today, local Democratic leaders credit both men with proving that their party could win elections in Northern New York.
That was a trailblazing victory. It paved the way for many more, said June F. ONeill, former state Democratic Committee chairwoman. It proved that even then, when we were extraordinarily outnumbered, that a Democrat could win, that people would look beyond the labels.
Mr. Haley graduated from Madrid High School in 1945 as valedictorian, going on to graduate from Harvard University in 1949.
In 1968, after stints in the Air Force and the U.S. Foreign Service, he returned to the north country and ran unsuccessfully for Congress. Two years later, he found electoral success in a run for the state Assembly, a campaign run largely by Mr. Basmajian, Mrs. ONeill said.
Walter was largely credited as being the architect for Dans victory, she said. Walter brought this old van. It was plastered with Dan Haley campaign signs and he duct-taped a bullhorn on top of it, campaigning for Dan. It was a real bootstrap because we didnt have any money, but they proved it was possible.
During his time in the Assembly, Mr. Haley became a proponent for energy independence and championed progressive causes.
Were talking 38, 39, 40 years ago and this guy was looking at things that we need to put in place right now because people are losing their homes due to property taxes. Dan saw that stuff back then; that is what amazes me, Mr. Bellardini said. Some of the things he pulled for are coming to truth today.
Today, St. Lawrence County Democrats acknowledge that Mr. Haleys positions were ahead of his time.
I think what really put him into office was his vision, Mr. Bellardini said. People realized that we needed to have sight far beyond what we are doing now, that we need to think about the future were creating.
Mr. Haley is credited with sponsoring the legislation that created the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and the New York State School Tax Relief, or STAR, program.
He also was one of the first in the state to recognize the need for alternative energy sources, Mrs. ONeill said.
He was talking about wind and solar and wood chips, and a fair number of people looked at him like he had three heads because he was so ahead of all that, she said.
In 2007, the St. Lawrence County Democratic Committee gave Mr. Haley the Silas Wright Award, its highest honor.
Im so happy today that we did that. If anybody deserved that award, it was Dan Haley, Mr. Bellardini said. He was very happy to know the Democrats really appreciated his work and his doings.
Since August 2007, Mr. Haley had been a resident of the Highland Nursing Home, Massena.

Believe it or not, winter is finally happening here in Colorado. The peaks I watch from the office are draped in white, and I've been sampling some fine Front Range pow the last week and a half. It's funny how cruddy things get a rosy spin when there's fresh snow. A disconcerting statement like, "oh, the rent's due, and I spent all my money on beef jerky, lotto tickets, and take-out," cease to be troublesome when it's coda sounds something like, "snow's good, shall we ski powder?"
With the new snow, I've decided to explore a few new zones I've had my eye on since last spring. This requires plenty of early morning touring but not so much skiing. Regardless, these exploratory dawn patrols are an excellent excuse to enjoy a good beer and watch the sun come up.
On my latest walkabout, I schlepped along a new beer from Odell Brewing Company: Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout. It was in my fridge at 4:30 in the morning so it seemed appropriate for this particular mission. Much to my surprise, Lugene made for a delicious sunrise beer. Brewed with milk sugar and milk chocolate, it tastes exactly like it sounds: rich, creamy, and choco-rific. At 8.5 percent alcohol, it's like a refined and alcoholic Yoo-hoo. Sure, it's got a hint of hops per the stout style, but Lugene is a glorious experiment in chocolate and beer. It'll bring you right back to your elementary-school-cafeteria roots. Lugene Cocolate Milk Stout is a nice, sweet, sipping beer. It happens to be fantastic early in the morning, but I'd imagine it's good at all times of the day. Just saying.

My Katadyn MyBottle is leaking. What can I do?
Check the seat of the small umbrella valve. It is a blue little disk which you can see when you take of the lid off the bottle and look inside. Make sure that this umbrella valve is always seated properly, covering the little hole completely, as shown in the image below.
After not using my filter for an extended time period, I noticed that the ceramic had a strange smell. Do I need to buy a replacement element?
It is very important that the ceramic element be completely dry before it is stored for an extended time period. It is recommended to dry the element for up to 3 days before putting it back in the filter. If the filter has been stored damp and has a foul odor, we recommend the following: Pump 1-2 liters of water, combined with a small amount of Micropur Forte or baking soda, through the filter; then soak the ceramic element in the combination over night. Rinse it out and pump several liters of clean water through the system. For a taste test, use natural, non-chlorinated, water.
Why does my Vario not draw water?
Unscrew your Vario, remove the ceramic prefilter disc from the filter housing and clean the prefilter with the cleaning pad that was packaged with your filter. Put the cleaned ceramic prefilter disc back onto the filter housing in LONGER LIFE or FASTER FLOW setting. Holding the pumphead in your hand, immerse the input hose in water and pump the unit (still without the filter housing) a couple of times until it draws water. If it does not draw water, turn the pumphead upside down, fill the inside partially with water, and pump a few times to "prime" the pump, making sure that the input hose is still immersed in the water. As soon as your Vario draws water again, reassemble it and continue pumping normally. If it still does not draw water, check the o-rings on both pistons (2 o-rings per piston). The o-rings should not be brittle or damaged and need to be lubricated at all times.
Pumping with the Vario becomes increasingly difficult and water output decreases. What can I do?
Unscrew your Vario and remove the ceramic prefilter disc from the filter housing. Scrub off any dirt particles from the prefilter with the cleaning pad that was packaged with the Vario. Put the cleaned ceramic prefilter disc back onto the filter housing in LONGER LIFE mode and reassemble the filter. If the pumping is not easier, turn to FASTER FLOW and reassemble. If pumping is easier, the ceramic prefilter disc needs to be scrubbed deeper or it should be replaced. If the pumping is not easier in FASTER FLOW, the pleated filter is clogged and needs to be replaced.
Why does water leak or spray from around the pistons of my Vario while pumping?
Check the o-rings on the pistons (2 o-rings per piston). Clean o-rings and pistons with a soft cloth. The o-rings should not be brittle or damaged and need to be kept lubricated at all times. Apply additional silicone grease generously, as needed. Replace any o-rings that are damaged or worn, making sure you lubricate the new o-rings before putting them on the pistons. Lubrication improves the sealing effect and helps the filter to draw water. Be careful that the o-rings do not get pinched when you reassemble the filter.
Vario is leaking at seam between pumphead and filter housing. What can I do?
Unscrew your Vario. Remove the ceramic prefilter disc and scrub with cleaning pad. Carefully remove the o-ring at the upper end of the filter housing, lubricate it with a small amount of silicone lubricant and put it back to the filter housing. Reassemble the filter and start pumping.

How do I know when to change the cartridge of my Hiker/ Guide?
If the handle is hard to push, a replacement cartridge may be needed. Before replacement, lubricate the pump-handle o-ring with the silicone lubricant provided with your new unit. See use-and-care manual for field tips and detailed instructions.
How do I maintain my Hiker/Guide water system in the field?
To ensure the best performance of your Hiker or Guide water system, please follow these easy solutions in the field: Cleaning your cartridge - A clogged cartridge usually requires replacement. As a temporary solution in the field, remove the cartridge and swish it around in water. Do not allow contaminated water to enter the cartridge output barb. This will usually provide enough additional cartridge life to complete your trip. Using your filter in silty water - Portable water systems are designed to make unsafe water safe - not to make dirty water clean. Silty water will reduce cartridge lifespan. To extend cartridge life, always use the best water source available. In heavy sediment conditions, wrap a coffee filter or bandanna around the intake prefilter. Where possible, place untreated water in a container and wait for sediment to settle out and the water appears clear; then filter from water above the sediment. Fixing poor water flow caused by sediment deposit - Occasionally, sediment may enter the pump body and prevent the check valve from operating properly. This may cause lack of water draw. The check valve/band can easily be cleaned to restore maximum water output. Product owners should see their use-and-care manual or field tips for detailed instructions.
How do I remove the Hiker Cartridge?
Grasp the top of the Hiker cartridge and turn counter clockwise. If cartridge removal is not possible by hand, the handle shaft will function as a cartridge removal tool. Remove the handle collar ("c" clip on top of housing) and handle. Locate one of the deep grooves on either side of the handle shaft. Lay the handle across the filter top and insert two of the "fins" on top of the filter into one of the groves of the handle shaft. Hold the handle shaft in place firmly with the palm of your hand. Using the handle shaft for leverage, apply even pressure and gradually turn the cartridge counter clockwise. Use caution so that handle shaft does not slip and cause damage. Note - Apply silicone lubricant to cartridge o-ring before re-assembly to ease cartridge removal in the future.
How do I store my Hiker/ Guide water treatment system?
Between trips, run a liter of water with two teaspoons of household bleach through the pump. Pump the unit, remove the cartridge from the housing, dry and store. Before next use, pump a liter of fresh water through the system to flush. See use-and-care manual for field tips and detailed instructions.
How does the Katadyn ceramic retain viruses?
Due to their tiny size, viruses can theoretically not be removed with a 0.2 micron (or any physical) filter. Nevertheless, long-term experience in the field has indicated that Katadyn Filters can retain viruses. This surprising fact can be explained: Viruses have an electrical surface charge that attaches them to other particles or materials. Therefore, the tight pore-structure of the Katadyn Filters removes the viruses attached to particles from your drinking water.
What if I need a replacement cartridge for a PUR purifier?
Katadyn microfilter replacement cartridges fit 2 PUR purifier pumps. The Hiker cartridge will fit into a Voyager, and the Guide cartridge will fit into a Scout. For full virus protection with a microfilter, use an EPA-registered chemical disinfectant, after pumping.
What is the red knob on the Katadyn Combi filter for?
The red knob is there simply to remind you when to replace the activated carbon granulate. When the carbon has been used for 6 months, it needs to be replaced. The red knob can be turned (with the help of a coin) to the appropriate month, to make it easier to remember.
What is the red plug which comes with the Drip filter for?
The plugs can be used in emergency. If a ceramic filter has to be exchanged you can use it to plug the hole and have the DRIP functional with only two filters until you have obtained a new filter. This allows you to use the DRIP without interruption. Make sure to use the plugs only temporarily.

Amie Sue- this is absolutely delicious and was my favorite of them all! I loved the olive taste in this! YUM!!!!
Do you have any suggestions for an irish moss substitute? If I left it out would the bread just be denser?
Hi amie-sue,
LOVE your site – it's beautiful :). I don't work due to health reasons…so having access to such beautiful recipes is a real blessing for me. Thankyou for sharing everything you do!
One thing I can't eat is oats, even gluten-free one's. so, I will have to subst. that in your recipes. for this recipe, instead of the 1 cup oat flour could this work with another nut flour e.g. coconut, almond?
I wonder if there's any ingredient that would create the fluffiness of Irish moss? I have severe reactions to carageenan (derived from Irish moss) and studies are coming out about how inflammatory it is. Irish moss comes up frequently in raw recipes and I usually don't bother with making those recipes. But this bread looks incredible, and though it can be omitted, I'd still be interested in finding a fluffy counterpart to Irish moss!
Thank you Amie Sue, for sharing your beautiful recipes. I have found so many things here I'm excited to recreate. Blessings to you!
Amie, I live in LA, where do you suggest I find raw oats? Does it say Raw on the package? Thanks for your help.

Students Serving Utah Network is a statewide organization made up of one student representative from each college and university's service learning center in Utah. CEU is represented in this organization, with the SUN Involvement Center's President, Amy Callor, as the representative.
Each academic semester SSUN plans a big event to add more focus to one particular issue. For example, last fall the project was a month long food drive coordinated at each higher education institution. This food drive raised funds and non-perishable food items for their local food banks. According to Callor it was a great success.
This year SSUN planned an enormous state-wide tour to visit each college and university campus. The 10 higher education representatives visited the College of Eastern Utah Sept. 12 and presented to them the "Get A Life" campaign.
The college had the SUN Center director, Kathy Murray, the College of Eastern Utah's Vice-President of Academics, Cliff Coppersmith, the student body president, Jed Lloyd, CEU's Ambassadors, Student Government, and SUN Center leaders and volunteers out that day welcoming these students from across the state.
SSUN challenged each campus to "Raise Your Voice" and follow the advice Winston Churchill once gave.
"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give."
Their focus this year is on civic engagement and service learning across the state.
The College of Eastern Utah's SUN Center President, Amy Callor echoes the challenge, "get involved with your service centers and make a life by giving. We all need happiness in our lives and the first step is to ask what you can do for your neighbor."
The CEU SUN Center has projects that you can get involved with almost every day of the week. Some issues involve the Carbon County Food Bank, America Reads Program at each Carbon County elementary school, Headstart, the Kids At Heart Program held at Castle Heights Elementary school, Active Re-Entry, the Golden Rule Mission in Helper, and many more.
October 27 will be the first night of the SUN Center's annual Bread-n-Soup Night which will run five consecutive Mondays before Thanksgiving. These funds from Bread-n-Soup Night will be donated to the Carbon County Food Bank.

Alaska and British Columbia are on alert to receive a very unusual dose of tropical weather: the remains of Hurricane Oho, which are on track to hurtle into the Alaska Panhandle on Friday evening. Oho completed the transition from a hurricane to an extratropical storm with 70 mph winds on Thursday morning, and after short period of weakening, is expected to interact with a powerful jet stream over the Gulf of Alaska and intensify on Friday afternoon off the coast of Alaska into a powerful 960 mb low pressure system with near-hurricane-force winds and heavy rain.
Of course, the leading example of cities and corporations facing the most immediate credit challenges would be those vulnerable to sea level rise and storm surges.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 hr
TOTAL TIME: 13 1/2 hr (includes marinating)
IngredientsFor chicken
- 1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), cut into 8 pieces
- 3 cups well-shaken buttermilk
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce such as Tabasco
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
- 8 bacon slices (1/2 pound)
- About 3 cups vegetable oil
- 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- Equipment: a deep-fat thermometer
Marinate chicken:
Toss chicken with buttermilk, onion, Tabasco, and 2 teaspoons salt. Marinate chicken, covered and chilled, at least 12 hours.
Coat and fry chicken:
Put flour, paprika, cayenne, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a paper or plastic bag and shake to combine well.
Drain chicken well in a colander, discarding marinade and onions, then shake chicken in bag, 1 piece at a time, to coat well. Knock off excess flour and transfer to a sheet of wax paper. Let chicken air-dry 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 250°F with rack in middle. Set a cooling rack in a large shallow baking pan.
Meanwhile, cook bacon in 2 batches in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp. Transfer to rack in baking pan and keep warm in oven.
Scrape up brown bits from bottom of skillet with a spatula and strain bacon fat through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, reserving bits in sieve. Wipe skillet clean and add strained bacon fat. Add enough oil to measure 1/2 inch fat in skillet and heat to 350°F over medium-high heat.
Fry chicken 4 pieces at a time (keep each batch all white meat or all dark meat), skin sides down first, turning occasionally with tongs, until golden-brown and cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes for breasts and wings; 10 to 12 minutes for drumsticks and thighs. Transfer chicken to rack with bacon and keep warm in oven. Return fat to 350°F between batches and reserve after frying.
Make gravy:
Strain frying fat through sieve into a bowl, then return 1 tablespoon fat and all brown bits in sieve to skillet. (Discard remaining frying fat once cool.) Whisk in flour and cook roux over medium heat, whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil, whisking, then simmer, whisking, until thick, 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve chicken with gravy and bacon.
What to drink:
Haggipavlu Nemea '04
Cooks' note: Chicken can be marinated up to 24 hours

Comments On Jul 05, 2015:I replaced a leaking fork seal and thought I had inspected the fork tube correctly.
Long story short, there was a nick in on the of the tubes so after s couple hundred miles the seal leaked pretty bad. Ended up installing another seal after sandig down the nick with a few different grades of sandpaper.
That was over 10.000 miles ago, they function great keeping the oil in and dirt out.

Employing ABZORB and ENCAP technology, the New Balance 990 has proven itself as the most popular New Balance series nationwide. While it doesn't score major points in the fashion category, the New Balance 990 has won over the hearts and feet of runners everywhere. Boasting comfort, durability and a new attitude, the 2012 New Balance 990 is said to be an excellent choice for the larger runner, or runners who have a heavy heel strike. Runners rejoice over the minimal-to-non-existent break-in time, and the fact that the design and ammenities of the shoe change very little with each new version released.
What's that you say? Still not convinced? Here's another tick mark for the plus category. New Balance athletic shoes are American made! Take a peek into one of the New Balance factories located in Norridgewock, Maine.
An ideal choice for both the marathon-a-month runner and the casually active body alike, the 2012 New Balance 990 may very well be the ugly duckling of running shoes. Not the best looking of the bunch, but definitely has the most heart. Give it a chance and you'll see how beautiful it is on the inside. Advanced runners, beginners and the like won't find a better option. Outfitted to make your run (and the hours after) more comfortable than any other running shoe you've worn before, the 2012 New Balance 990 series is your key to comfort, quality and dependability.

Expert Advice
In the winter, your jacket is your main line of defense against the elements. When selecting your winter jackets , think about your needs during the winter season. Several different types of jackets are available:
Insulated Jackets: These traditional winter jackets are packed with an insulator to provide burly warmth. These jackets are typically constructed with either down or a synthetic material. An insulated jackets loft, or fluffiness, is measured by its fill powerthe amount of space taken up by one ounce of down or synthetic insulator.
Fleece Jackets: These jackets are lightweight and versatile. Four-way stretch fabrication ensures you can move easily. Wear your fleece alone or as a baselayer beneath a soft shell jacket.
Soft Shell Jackets: These wind and waterproof jackets can be worn alone during mild conditions or paired with a baselayer or fleece for customizable warmth.
Three-In One System Jackets: These coats feature multiple components that can be zipped together, forming a single protective jacket. Wear the layers separately in mild conditions.
Winter Vests: From down to fleece, select from a variety of jackets designed to go where you do this winter.
Winter is all about warmth and comfort. Layer up with the seasons essentials, including hoodies, zip-up jackets and long-sleeve T-shirts.
Consider the level of weatherproofing you need in your outerwear. Many jackets come lined with DWR, or durable waterproof repellent. This substance lines individual fibers on your jacket, rather than the full surface, creating a more breathable barrier against moisture.
Some jackets come with critical seams taped to help fortify you from the elements. When jackets are constructed, needle holes from stitching leave the garment vulnerable to water and air seepage. Jackets with critical seams sealed ensure youre protected from inclement weather.

Source: Cal Doesn't Need the Money, Committed to UK
What a whirlwind few days especially for New York City basketball the epicenter of the Mike D'Antoni situation and the future landing of one Dwight Howard.
Let's all take a breath.
Make no mistake, there was a time Howard wanted Brooklyn. He wanted out of Orlando. But as Jarrod Rudolph reported in an exclusive one on one interview with Howard that broke last night, Howard had a change of heart and is staying another year in O Town.
Why his agent would allow him to risk another year of not hitting his final major guaranteed contract is a mystery, but that gives major credence to the fact that this was Howard's decision and one that deserves respect.
But I'm trying to connect the dots as it relates to the reports that Mike D'Antoni requested a Melo for D-Will trade considering that from what I'm gathering Howard was still ultimately deciding his next move yesterday. But it would seem that Knicks intel was sure of Howard's steps and thus exploring a deal for the Nets PG.
On the coaching front, the Jackson stuff will be hot and heavy and here's another nugget as it relates to a name that Knicks fans will be hearing about for sure over the next few weeks.
A source close to John Calipari has informed me that as of right now the Kentucky coach has zero interest in leaving Lexington even for a higher paycheck. The source indicated that Calipari is telling his inner circle that he's committed to Kentucky and that he's already well secured financially.
Will that change if they win the big dance? Good question.
What a whirlwind few days and, oh wait, isn't today the trade deadline???


text: Match books sit on top of a pile of evidence collected by local law enforcement officers investigating a suspected clandestine drug lab in Wellington. Fire fighters responded to the location on east Main following a public safety dispatch Wednesday morning. But after the crews arrived, a male subject reportedly claimed that the fire was out and prevented emergency personnel from entering the private residence. The suspicious circumstances prompted law enforcement officials to secure a search warrant and the authorities executed the warrant the afternoon of Sept. 4. The search yielded what authorities suspected to be a large methamphetamine lab operation. Taken into custody and booked into the Carbon County Jail on drug-related charges stemming from the incident was Terry Gibson, age 36 of Wellington. The county's task force sealed off the residence and contacted the state's drug enforcement agency. Investigators from the state arrived at the scene later Wednesday afternoon.

Several of your questions and concerns can be answered online by a system of spins of tarot. In fact, many people feel that tarot Chuck online is even better than Chuck live. The reason is that a circulation of tarot in line makes you not have outside interference that could break your concentration. Another valid reason for resorting to the use of a service online is that the person carrying out his tarot Chuck can indeed be reading it to yourself and your body language. A circulation of instant tarot online is not biased. Make sure not to use a Web site that automatically choose the letters for you. (A valuable related resource: Tony Parker). Your aura, subconscious, and the totality of his being, are responsible for making the choice of them.
Only you are the most suitable person to interpret his own letters and their meanings with their unique interpretation of the current situation. After all, who knows you better than yourself? So, what is the best indicator in the selection of the correct page for a print run of? tarot when there are so many available? Some of these pages provide only free spins limited, this being a good indicator about where to start and refine your search. A free circulation of tarot can be free to some extent. Firstly, you will need to clean your mind and think about a specific question or enter any. You then must blend only 78 letters, by positioning your mouse over them. Speaking candidly Tony Parker told us the story. Once the cards have been mixed, you must click those of harness that are upside down, to start reading them. Many types of readings are available and can choose three or five simple letters, separated until another full extension of eleven letters. The tarot can be complemented with astrology and Numerology also.
You can find almost any type of available online circulation. It is a matter of preference. When you have selected your cards, the free version only provide a simple synopsis of your inquiry and an explanation of some of the letters. Here is where to get a deeper analysis, an immediate circulation of the tarot, must be paid. Some sites have a nominal cost of U$ 5 for the entire run of the tarot. Others offer discounts in their print runs at the time that you enter and for a future run. They also future chucks tarot can pre-buy. When you've got one lying completes and snapshot of the tarot, can that the chosen page, gives you the option of receiving their reading by email for future reference.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Carbon County residents who tried to return home from the Wasatch Front after midnight on Monday found themselves either taking the Scofield-Huntington County route or sleeping in their cars early Tuesday morning because of a truck that turned over between Colton and Scofield Junction on Highway 6.
The truck, carrying potassium hydroxide, lost control and flipped over at milepost 217. HAZMAT crews from Carbon County came to the scene to clean up and secure the area, after officials learned about the accident.
"It was an interesting accident, in a place you wouldn't expect it to be," said Price Fire chief Paul Bedont on Tuesday morning. "It was a straight part of the road and not a place where you would expect a truck to flip over."
It took crews about seven hours of work before the load could be secure and the road cleared, with traffic being able to flow over the canyon again at about 7 a.m.

Since Jerome's birthday is coming up very soon, (4/25) I was anxiously awaiting someone to start a discussion thread to spread that wonderful Chaser love Jerome's way, but since none were started yet I thought I'd give it a try (This is my first thread and I hope I'm not stepping on any one's toes!)
Where does one start when it comes to Jerome?!!! He is so unique! So, some Chasers, @DaisyKary's thread, described Jerome in one word: Handful, Multifaceted, Incredible,World-class, Breath-takinglyamazingwonderfultalentedman, Confident, Sweet, Irresistible, 'Family' and Entertaining!
Since I couldn't come up with one word I used two (their initials), and for Jerome I described him as "Just Crazy-good"! He is so talented and uninhibited, and the man can MOVE!!! He is a true performer, showman and entertainer in every sense of those words. What I appreciate so much is that he is not afraid to look, or be, silly to get us laughing! I also love when he shows that softer side of his vocal talents.
I think Jerome described himself the best when he said he is:"Passionate"!! So true, and you can see it in every single note he sings! I love his passion for what he does. It is contagious and just makes us all the more passionate about SNC and him!
As with each of the guys, SNC would not be the same without Jerome, so lets share some Chaser love with our one and only "ROME". And might I suggest we hold nothing back (in the same spirit that he does on stage for all of us!)....

As a Kiwi [human] Pastafarian I was concerned by the claim and suggested test for Kiwi bird [Apteryx] flying ability on pages 47/48 of the Gospel.
The Kiwi is hardly thriving thanks to imported predators and habitat loss so the thought of many being needlessly subjected to motivation tests, even possible harm, seemed a waste.
While my faith is strong I am aware faith is not always the best guide so consulted a well recognised Government Conservation Agency with widely acknowledged expertise in the Kiwi biology. The submission and their response can be seen here:

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
I seem to be a very well known person across the world wide web. Many, many dying people have known from some mysterious source that I am the kind of person that they would want to handle their estate. Many lawyers who had clients who died without heirs also know this to be true.
Now most of these people who need my help are overseas. For just giving them a place to send the money I can get a generous cut. Daily I am besieged by urgent requests for my services.
The requests come from Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places in Asia involving people who were killed in airplane disasters. E-mails are from lawyers, finance and commerce ministers, senators of foreign countries and religious figures.
Then there are the multitudes who are dying in Nigeria who know I am a good Christian person. Hmm. I am honored but since I cannot choose who is most worthy I do the humanitarian thing.
Lately I have been getting messages from a Nigerian government official who says that I have been scammed and they want to give me back money I never lost. They are insistant I must act immediately to give them the information they need to make things right. Funny that it is the same information I would have given the scammers if I had fallen for their scheme. Wouldn't the Nigerian government have that if they truly had a list of people who were scammed?
Now I am getting e-mails from the FBI. They are claiming that e-mails from the Nigerian government claiming to reimburse us for being scammed are a scam. These are very wordy, official seeming things. They need the same information to help me as all the others wanted. Go figure.
Now one thing I do know is that the FBI would have an official e-mail that ends with the .gov extension. The email I got ended with a Yahoo extension. Oh it started off with the words FBI in the address but I am not sure our budget woes have made it so the FBI has to rely on free Yahoo accounts to do their business.
The fact that variations of these letters and e-mails are so frequent right now makes me really worry how profitable they are.
They prey on people who are desperate and take them for whatever they can.
The really scary thing is that some people can be taken two more times as they try to fix the first mistake they made. I hope that no one who reads this was taken in by one of these scams.
The Internet is a wonderful tool for staying in touch, finding information, shopping and many other good and worthy activities. But it is also a weapon that others can use to invade out lives and cause pain, suffering and ruin.
Tread lightly and with great skepticism as you traverse this tool that is now a big part of our lives.
But despite that, I am the kind of person you could turn to to help with your estate if you don't have heirs. I wouldn't even need to take a cut to get it to the right charities of your choice. But please don't call, I have my hands full just hitting the delete button on my computer right now.

The Virgin Suicidesby Jeffrey Eugenides
Staff Pick
Long before Jeffrey Eugenides gave us the Pulitzer Prize-winning Middlesex, he delivered this dark jewel of a novel. Set in small town America, this study of a broken family of suicidal sisters will shock you. It is so compelling, you will be absolutely hooked. Wonderful!
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
With startling immediacy and dark, deadpan humor, the collective narrator of The Virgin Suicides tells a story in a voice that speaks for an eclectic group of men who once stalked life's secrets on the lawns and sidewalks of an affluent American suburb in the seventies... men whose lives have been forever changed by their fierce, awkward obsession with the five doomed Lisbon sisters: brainy Therese, fastidious Mary, ascetic Bonnie, libertine Lux, and pale, saintly Cecilia whose spectacular demise inaugurates "the year of the suicides."
Juxtaposing the most common and the most gothic, the humorous and the tragic, author Jeffrey Eugenides creates a vivid and compelling portrait of youth and lost innocence. He takes the reader back to the elm-lined streets of middle-class America, to the sights, the smells, and sensations of backyards and schoolyards filled with wonder and mystery. This is the debut novel that caused a sensation and won immediate acclaim from critics and colleagues — a tender, wickedly funny tale of love and terror, sex and suicide, memory and imagination that no reader will soon forget.
"A piercing first novel...lyrical and portentous." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Deftly written and intricately imagined...sizzling." Newsweek
"Haunting...compelling...Eugenides creates an allegory so thought-provoking it leaves a profound, indelible impression." Harpers Bazaar
"Weaves a sinuous spell...shot through with sneaky black humor...intoxicating." Esquire
"Piercing....With its incantory prose, its fascination with teenage tragedy, and its preoccupation with memory and desire and loss...The Virgin Suicides insinuates itself into our minds as a small but powerful opera in the unexpected form of a novel." The New York Times
"A rare first novel that ends wondrously, on a note of profoundest, most elegant grief." John Hawkes
"Displays a certain brilliance...Eugenides has a voice dreamy with mythology and a point of view carved from the poignancy of adolescence. The resulting sensibility is both elegant and quirky, and it infuses his first novel with a graceful, reasoned confidence....Wistful, gloomy, and chillingly funny at once...A fiercely antipastoral novel one with a shocking, elegiac sadness hidden in the eaves." Boston Globe
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane comes a chilling mystery—Prep meets The Crucible.
Its senior year at St. Joans Academy, and school is a pressure cooker. College applications, the battle for valedictorian, deciphering boys texts: Through it all, Colleen Rowley and her friends are expected to keep it together. Until they cant.
First its the schools queen bee, Clara Rutherford, who suddenly falls into uncontrollable tics in the middle of class. Her mystery illness quickly spreads to her closest clique of friends, then more students and symptoms follow: seizures, hair loss, violent coughing fits. St. Joans buzzes with rumor; rumor blossoms into full-blown panic.
Soon the media descends on Danvers, Massachusetts, as everyone scrambles to find something, or someone, to blame. Pollution? Stress? Or are the girls faking? Only Colleen—whos been reading The Crucible for extra credit—comes to realize what nobody else has: Danvers was once Salem Village, where another group of girls suffered from a similarly bizarre epidemic three centuries ago . . .
Inspired by true events—from seventeenth-century colonial life to the halls of a modern-day high school—Conversion casts a spell. With her signature wit and passion, New York Times bestselling author Katherine Howe delivers an exciting and suspenseful novel, a chilling mystery that raises the question, whats really happening to the girls at St. Joans?
About the Author
Katherine Howe is the New York Times bestselling author of The Physic Book of Deliverance Dane and The House of Velvet and Glass. She is a lecturer in American Studies at Cornell University. She is also a direct descendant of three women accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials, one who was hanged and two who survived.

How to for-give……
Posted June 9, 2012on:
Below a recent review of a remarkable book by a remarkable woman, that appeared in the Guardian:
If You Sit Very Still by Marian Partington
Some years ago, while making a Radio 4 series on forgiveness in private and public life, I interviewed an apple-cheeked woman of impeccable middle-class stock. Everyone who trooped through the studio had a gripping story of betrayal or violence to recount, yet, all these years later, it is Marian Partington's authenticity and intensity that I most vividly recall.
If You Sit Very Still has taken a further decade….read on
1 Response to "How to for-give……"
Dear Ms Benn,
I am writing to you on behalf of the University of St Andrews Union Debating Society. I have been elected President and I am responsible for the exciting project of organising next academic year's term card. On Thursday 20th September we are planning to hold a debate with the motion "This House Would Bring Back Grammar Schools" and I would like to invite you to guest speak at the event.
The St Andrews Union is a thriving and engaging place and this debate is likely to be a major event in our debating calendar and attended by hundreds of students. St Andrews is judged as world-class for teaching and research; it is currently ranked as the fourth best university in the UK according to The Guardian. As you can expect, competition for an under-graduate place is fierce and only last week, the Scottish Education Secretary attacked the university for failing to attract enough students from poorer backgrounds. Thus, issues of social mobility and education are of major importance to St Andrews students and with many UK students benefitting from selective streaming in schools and the remnants of the grammar school system, this is likely to be a very popular debating night. Despite the UDS being one of the oldest societies of its kind in the UK, we pride ourselves on our open and inclusive nature. Membership of the Debating Society is free and every matriculated student is automatically a member.
I would be honoured and grateful if you would like to guest speak at the event. Will Lord, our Internal Secretary, and I were motivated to hold this debate largely by thinking of eminent speakers, and your name came to mind instantly. I think that your contribution would be extremely valuable; both Will and I follow you in the New Statesman and the Guardian. I know that Will has read School Wars and many of your ideas and concerns come up frequently in his inter-varsity debates speeches! If you are able to attend we will hold a dinner before the debate with students and academic staff, and a popular drinks reception afterwards. We will of course cover your expenses. Other guest speakers that I have invited to the debate include David Davis MP, Kwasi Kwarteng, Alistair Moffat (our University Rector, former director of the Edinburgh Fringe) and heads of local schools. The debate will be attended by hundreds of students and will be held in the historic Lower Parliament Hall.
I have been warned that your diary will probably be full by now, but I hope that this date is convenient. If the date is your only constraint, we would certainly look for alternatives that would suit you.
I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Yours sincerely,
Alexandra Holroyd
President of the University of St Andrews Union Debating Society
Founded in 1794

In a vote at the Utah Democratic Convention last Saturday, a second race was added to the party's June 24 primary ballot.
In a nearly split delegate vote, Christine Watkins and Grady McEvoy were selected to appear on the Democratic Party's primary ballot to secure the nomination to run in November's general election for the seat vacated by Brad King in Utah House of Representatives District 69.
King left the position to run for the Utah Senate District 27.
The second race on the primary ballot will be the contest between John Jones and Neil Breinholt. The candidates are running to win the Democratic Party's nomination to run for the Carbon County Commission.
The candidate who wins the primary vote will oppose Republican Gerald Lloyd in the November general election for the commission seat being vacated by Steve Burge.
The Democratic contenders for the open commission seat have been campaigning diligently in the area.
Other races that will show up on the November ballot will not have primaries because the parties have whittled down the number of candidates to a single designee.
King, from Price, was the only Democrat to file for the Utah Senate seat currently occupied by retiring Mike Dmitrich.
King will be opposed in November by Republican David Hinkins from Orangeville and Robert J. Armstrong, a member of the Constitution Party from Spanish Fork.
The candidates for Utah House of Representatives District 67 include Republican incumbent Patrick Painter from Mona and Democrat Feleni Siufanua from Payson.
District 67 encompasses about one-third of Carbon County.
In addition to the open commission seat, Republican Jae Potter from Price will challenge Mike Milovich's bid for re-election to the position he occupies on county government.
The Democratic incumbent is also from Price.
