A report of suspicious activity and a suspicious vehicle in Green River led to the arrest of three Cuban men.
In the early morning hours of Dec. 5, a Nissan Titan truck was pulled up to dump trucks and construction equipment in a yard and some men were pumping fuel from the construction equipment into two large fuel tanks in the bed of the pickup truck.
Deputy Blake Gardner from the Emery County Sheriff's Office went to the scene and found the men in the act of stealing the diesel fuel. There were several trucks in the yard at the time. Deputy Gardner made the arrests and after the suspects were taken back to the Emery County Sheriff's Office a search found a Budget Rental truck key with numbers on it.
Sgt. Mitch Vetere in Green River was contacted and he began a search for the vehicle. He found the truck behind the Short Stop. It was a box truck and it looked like it was leaking fuel. Sgt. Vetere called the detectives to come down and look at the truck to gather evidence for a search warrant.
Det. Sgt. Robert Blackburn and Det. Jerod Curtis went to Green River and gathered evidence and the search warrant was obtained. The truck was opened and a large fuel tank was found inside the box truck. It appeared that fuel had been off loaded from the tanks on the pickup truck into two large fuel tanks inside the box truck and also into fuel drums.
Police suspect that the suspects had been traveling across the interstate and hitting yards and stealing fuel and then reselling it.
The detectives then sent out a teletype across the state to see if any other locations were having a problem with stolen fuel. They found there was a big fuel theft from a business in Beaver County.
There was a 500 gallon tank in the back of the box truck and it was empty. There were two 250 gallon tanks that were full. The fuel in Green River was taken from the equipment at High Desert Excavation.
The fuel in Beaver was taken from Anytime Towing.
Those taken into custody as a result of the police response were Racet Maike Hernandez, 35, Maikel Sajay Caso Machuca, 25 and Dylan Michel Delgado Machuca, 18.
The defendants waived their right to a preliminary hearing. They have bailed out of jail and are awaiting a court date on numerous charges including auto burglary.
It is estimated that they alledgedly stole several hundred gallons of fuel during the foray.

How To Wear A Sequin Jacket For The Holidays And Beyond
- 1 of 19
I've got two killer outfit ideas for you: one for a festive party and one for a casual weekend, so you can look stellar at your company holiday party, and still be able to wear this sparkly number after the confetti has been cleared.
- 2 of 19
Look 1: For The Holidays
Holiday outfits have the tendency to skew toward the cheesy side, which is why I've had this unforgettably cool look from Saint Laurent's S/S '13 show saved for inspiration. The easy components: a sequin jacket, white collared button-down, and floppy bowtie make for a standout look that is not only festive, but downright stylish. For your bottom half, wear a black basic you've already got in your closet: shorts and tights, like I did, or perhaps a miniskirt or wide-leg trousers.
What I Wore: Juicy Couture Mini Sequin Jacket ($228); Jill Stuart Margot Blouse ($368, 212.343.2300); The Loved One Bow Tie ($18) in Black; Bebe Dome Shorts ($79) in Black; Hue Opaque Control Top Tights ($10) in Black; American Apparel High Heel Bobby Patent Lace-Up Shoes ($95); Charlotte Olympia Wind Up Pandora Clutch ($980); Catbird Jewelry Ballerina Earrings ($76) in Silver.
- 3 of 19
A whimsical Perspex clutch is a playful touch, lest anyone think the sparkles are taking themselves too seriously.
- 4 of 19
Patent oxfords with a short heel are ideal because the shiny finish has a dressy vibe while the manageable height lengthens the legs and is still comfortable enough to dance in.
- 5 of 19
Hint: if you don't have a bowtie, they're easy to make. Just get a swatch of slightly sheer chiffon and tie it in a bow under your collar.
- 6 of 19
Look 2: Post-Holidays
Sure, wearing sparkles before the sun goes down sounds ill-advised, but they can actually look unexpected and daring in a good way. It's easy to transform a sequin jacket for day; just pair it with off-duty basics such as a band tee and slouchy denim.
What I Wore: Juicy Couture Mini Sequin Jacket ($228); American Apparel Unisex Flex Fleece Zip Hoodie ($48) in Barrack Green; OBEY Cosmic Blues Raglan Tee ($34) in Red; Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply Oceanside Skinny Boyfriend Jeans ($125); Rachel Comey Ankle Boots ($268); Botkier Honore Crossbody Bag ($295); Bing Bang Tiny Circle Ring ($58) in Gold; Bing Bang Tiny Baguette Ring ($64) in Gold; Bones & Feathers Oval Signet Ring ($36); Catbird Jewelry Dark & Stormy Earrings ($98); Kathleen Whitaker Staple Earrings ($88).
- 7 of 19
For a weekend look, I always reach for an unfussy cross-body bag. I also love how the suede adds a second texture to the outfit, removing some of the focus from the sequin jacket.
- 8 of 19
A hoodie is the fastest way to give an outfit a daytime feel. Here, it provides a delightful contrast to the jacket.
- 9 of 19
Heavily distressed jeans and low-heel ankle boots reinforce the casual vibe.
- 10 of 19
- 11 of 19
Guess Long-Sleeve Sequined Moto Jacket ($178)
- 12 of 19
Smythe Sequin Bomber Jacket ($495)
- 13 of 19
Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna Rain Sequins Jacket ($750)

IRO Sequin And Leather Trimmed Jacket ($998)

Forever 21 Showstopper Sequin Cropped Jacket ($30) in Gunmetal

Mango Sequin Bomber Jacket ($110)

Day Birger Et Mikkelsen Night Flame Gold Sequin Jacket ($427)
- 18 of 19
Blu Moon Sequin Easy Breezie Blazer ($248)
- 19 of 19
Diane Von Furstenberg Tamali Sequin Jacket ($340)

Arrieta is terrible. Hitters are squaring up on Arrieta. That means Arrieta would have to wish for a line drive right at a player. But more times than not, a line drive gets down for a ht. He needs to be demoted. I'am tired about hearing how unlucky he is. Anybody would be an upgrade over him right now.
Betemit better get his act together. His OBP is .298. His best position was supposed to be handling the bat but so far, he hasn't done that. He has also put together some sloppy defense.
Our bullpen is magnificent. It has been all year. And to think we've been doing this without Lindstrom for a large chunk of this season.
If Chris Davis keeps hitting the way he's been hitting, he's gonna be at first base for awhile. Yeah he strikes out alot and plays pretty crappy defense. He's shown he can hit the long ball often, he's shown he can hang in there vs. lefties, and he's shown he can keep the OBP up.
Flaherty looked horrible at the plate last night but has gotten some nice AB's put together before that.
Nick Johnson is a useless player on the roster once Pearce was acquired.
Eveland has been solid out of the pen and deserves to be in consideration for a few starts.

Ruthi Solari, Mind-Body Medicine
Ruthi SolariMind-Body Medicine
Nutritionist Ruthi Solari asked herself this simple question:
"What if we change food drives so that they collect healthy food?"
Solari, a recent recipient of a Master's degree from Saybrook University's College of Mind-Body Medicine, had a not-so-simple answer: to create a national non-profit organization to help nourish citizens facing food insecurity.
Solari noticed that nutrition frequently takes a back seat when food banks distribute only what they are given; soda, candy or sugary snacks outnumber cans of vegetables. Her SuperFood Drive seeks to make healthy SuperFoods accessible to everyone, even if they cannot afford fresh produce each week. Within its first two years, SuperFood Drive has helped collect over 30,000 pounds of nutritious non-perishables. And Saybrook helped.
"With my degree, I feel competent as a bridge-builder to bring integrative healing practices into today's fast-based corporate, education, and health care environments."
Last year, Solari launched SuperKids for SuperFoods to add a youth engagement component to her program. She has volunteered more than 6,000 hours to her cause and has raised significant funding for her organization. In June 2012, she received the national Stephen J. Brady STOP Hunger Scholarship award.
Solari chose Saybrook because she wanted an experiential learning environment that inspired individuals to incorporate holistic, healthy, lifestyle practices into their personal and professional lives.

Utah Senator Mike Dmitrich indictates state matters went relatively smoothly at the beginning of the 2007 legislative session.
But now that tax bills have appeared on the docket, he predicts that the Utah Legislature will continue experiencing problems.
"I am of the opinion that when we have extra money, like we do in this years state coffers, we should pay off our debt and get ready for the years when there will be a downturn in the economy," said Dmitrich during a telephone interview last Thursday. "Both the house and the senate are hung up on a tax rebate, and I think that is not the way to go."
In years past when there has been a surplus in state revenues, the Utah Legislature has had the tendency to give the public back money.
But numerous polls conducted during the years have shown that most citizens would rather see the money go to such things as education or roads.
"Right now, because of that roadblock, things are not going anywhere," stated the senator. "But with only a couple of weeks to go things will have to move soon.'
Dmitrich also pointed out that at least a portion of the state's surplus revenues will be coming to Carbon County to fix a problem that has vexed the College of Eastern Utah for a few years.
"We were able to secure the funds to pay off CEU's debt that has been hanging over them for a long time," said the senator.
A second situation that will affect CEU is the fact that the Legislature plans to allow Utah State University to offer additional degrees at the local community college.
"I think that will be a very good thing," commented Dmitrich. "Right now, I think they only offer a handful of degrees and this legislation will increase that number by a lot."
Tax reform is also on the minds of many Utah lawmakers in 2007.
"I am sure there is going to be some type of income tax reform this year, but it won't be a complete flat tax like has been talked about," said Dmitrich. "It will be a modified flat tax with some exemptions left in. But it will favor lower income people."
The Utah Senate and House of Representatives apparently have different ideas on how to give tax relief to citizens.
"The House wants to take 2 percent off sales tax on food," explained Dmitrich. "We'll just have to see what comes out in the end."
"In my opinion, we have the money to give tax relief and pay off a lot of the states debt. Having that paid off will help us when the economy downturns. Our transportation bonding is pretty high and now is the time to pay that off," added the Utah senator.
Dmitrich indicated that he looks forward to the next couple of weeks and hopes some good things come out of the remainder of the 2007 legislative session for Carbon County.

It's not a secret that strong shoulders are having a serious fashion moment this season. Quite the opposite, in fact, as jackets, dresses, and blouses with architectural and austere shoulders are everywhere right now. And while the more angular rendition of this trend originally got the sartorial spotlight, we have noticed that some of our favorite trendsetters have taken a shining to a different variation of the look: the puffy sleeve. Whether it's a fancy flounce on a little black dress or a swell of fabric on a vintage bolero, this iteration is less Frankenstein and more feminine, creating a silhouette that is soft yet dramatic.
Before we get into the who and wear portion of today's story, let us focus first on the what. The S/S 09 runways at Chloe and Rue du Mail provide perfect examples for how to best execute this festive detail. A puffy sleeve can accentuate a tiny waist or willowy frame by drawing the eye upward and conveys a sense of confidence-if you are going to wear a balloon or ruffle-armed garment, you've got to be able to carry the look and not let it carry you away.
A good example of one such style-setter is British girl-about-town, Peaches Geldof. The darling dresser wore a pale puff-sleeved selection to an exhibition of London-based illustrator Hannah Bays' collaboration with PPQ. Geldof's romantic ringlets and opaque tights balance out the boldness of her shoulder, and add hint of lady-like sophistication. Another dress that stole our hearts was Reese Witherspoon's Prada frock, which she wore while promoting her 3-D children's flick Monsters vs Aliens in London earlier this year. Madame Miuccia's directional designs are always ahead of the, ahem, curve, but this silk cocktail confection with black stone embroidery from the F/W 09 collection is a cut above the rest. We love the way the compact concentration of volume can add interest to a little black (or white) dress, and recommend you invest in one, as it is sure to persist well into the summer and fall months. You will certainly get maximum mileage out of any dress in this style, so we suggest Designers Remix's Ohhstyle Dress ($386), Voom's Joy Puff Sleeve Dress ($198), and Twelve by Twelve's Puff Sleeve Dress ($39), all of which are on-trend and classic.
Of course, this shape is exceptional outside of the monochromatic spectrum as well; Hervé Léger, for example, affixed this peplum embellishment to a geometric-printed bandage dress. At the Hannah Montana: The Movie London premiere, Miley Cyrus looked trés chic in the aforementioned frock, proving that a mutton sleeve can look proper and playful, simultaneously. Rihanna, risk-taker extraordinaire, opted for a luxurious Louis Vuitton ensemble for the DKMS Gala in New York. Her metallic puff-sleeved top from the house's F/W 09 collection strikes a nice balance with her geranium-hued bubble skirt, and makes a bold and festive statement. The songbird shows us that a blouse is the perfect way to integrate this look into your wardrobe; just make sure the top isn't bogged down with enough fabric to sail a ship (lest you resemble Jerry Seinfeld's notorious puffy pirate shirt.) We recommend Derercuny's Pintuck Blouse with Puff Sleeves ($643) and Clu's Puff Sleeved Blouse ($202), two sensational options.
Another great way to incorporate this novel shape into your warm-weather rotation is by picking a great jacket or shrug that features this exaggerated shoulder silhouette. Byrdie Bell did just that when she wore a ruched vintage bolero to the Cinema Society's after-party for the New York premiere of The Brothers Bloom. Her studded piece looked remarkably au currant for a breezy summer evening, but for those of you who don't have such a stellar antique piece hanging in your closet, try Designers Remix's Polka Black Jacket ($426) for a circular yet structural alternative!-KM

Three Mile Island attracts rare birds
LONDONDERRY TWP. Pa. (June 18, 2010) – Three Mile Island Generating Station (TMI) and the 382 acre island it sits on is fast becoming a haven for endangered and rare birds. This spring, a pair of bald eagles built a nest on TMI and they now join an existing pair of peregrine falcons and osprey at the nuclear station site.
"This is very unusual, I am not aware of any other location in the state where these three species are cohabitating so close to each other," said Jason DeCoskey, Chief, Special Permit Enforcement Division, Pa. Game Commission. "TMI's ability to attract and support all three species is a tribute to the abundance of unique food sources and the overall environmental friendliness that exists there."
Not only does Three Mile Island have all three species but it has one of the most unique nesting sites for peregrine falcons in the state – the side of the TMI reactor building. Once again this spring, the falcons have given birth to two new fledglings. DeCoskey was able to band one of the fledglings last week. The peregrine falcon is widely known as the world's fastest flying bird.
"We collaborate with the folks at Three Mile Island to protect the well being of the birds," said DeCoskey. "They do a wonderful job supporting and enriching the site to support the birds."
"All of us at Three Mile Island are excited to share the island with the eagles, falcons and osprey," said Bill Noll, Three Mile Island Site Vice President. "Our employees have formed an environmental committee that has conducted island clean up days, erected wood duck boxes and performed other activities to enhance the environment."
While the falcons nest on the reactor building, the ospreys have built a nest high atop Three Mile Island's meteorological tower. The tower offers them a great view of the Susquehanna River, where they fish. The eagles have nested in a tree on the south end of TMI. Eagles are fishers and scavengers.
In addition to the birds, Three Mile Island is home to deer, fox, blue heron, geese, wood ducks and many more species.

EDWARDS State police on Monday charged Carl C. Oatman, 44, of 1717 Route 58, with misdemeanor forcible touching.
Troopers allege that on March 10 while traveling in a vehicle in the town of Russell, Oatman touched the breast of a woman after she refused to have sex with him.
Oatman, a Level 2 sex offender who is on parole for first-degree rape and sodomy after his Aug. 21, 2003, conviction, was arrested at 1:55 p.m. at his residence following an investigation into the allegations.
He was arraigned in Hermon Town Court and sent to St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, on $4,500 cash bail or $10,000 bond. The state Department of Corrections revoked his parole and an order of protection was issued in favor of the alleged victim.
He is scheduled to reappear in Russell Town Court.

Real Member Honeymoon Stories
We always love to hear how Traveler's Joy helped our members take the trip of their dreams. Do you have a story to tell us? Let us know →
Christen & Jason
Destination: Peru
With our private guide, local chef, and three donkeys who held our camping and cooking supplies, we hiked for days straight as close to the open sky as we'd ever come. We reveled in the calm stillness that came with no commercial frills: no running water, no phones, no electricity, no heat, and no seating charts. We were finally free of wedding planning!
Alexander & Jamie
Destination: Turkey, Croatia, & Slovenia
We developed a great love for the Balkan people we served and lived among, and the first thing we wanted to do was return to spend the holidays with them! We wanted to keep alive those friendships we cherish so dearly. Traveling had also become important to us, as we had discovered new people and places in the past few years. To "travel more" had become one of our greatest lifetime goals.
Kari & David
Destination: Spain, France, Italy, Hungary, & Austria
Whenever people ask where we went on our honeymoon, we respond, "We went to Europe." Friends and family usually follow up with, "Wow, that's great. For how long? Where did you go?" We always reply, "We spent thirty-one days visiting five countries and ten cities. But we could have stayed there forever." Invariably, the inquirer's reaction is a mixture of shock and excitement, followed by an array of questions. We never get tired of talking about our adventures. We cherish these repeat conversations just as much as we treasure the memories we made. And when life gets us down, we talk about it together.
Natalie & Tyler
Destination: Bali
Our honeymoon in Bali was truly sensational. We would highly recommend it to lovebirds desiring a tropical getaway offering both adventure and relaxation. To quote Natalie's journal: Bali is such a unique and beautiful place. Everywhere, the foliage in bright shades of green covers the hillsides. The air smells musty and hot infused with sweet scents of flowers. People smile everywhere you go. They are extremely friendly and generous with their dispositions. Kites in all shapes and sizes color the sky. Geckos scurry across every warung wall, tiny ants line every restaurant table, and dogs nap in the shade on the streets. They are all saying, "Yes, I live in the land of tradition and prayer, laughter and late nights, incense and rice. I live in paradise."
Sara & John
Destination: National Parks Getaway
We had three months. We had the fall. So we decided to load our gear up in the Jeep and take a road trip. It was going to be a magical experience! First across the plains to Glacier, then up and over the North Cascades before shooting down the Pacific Coast and zig-zagging our way up through the canyonlands of the Southwest towards home in Wisconsin. We climbed mountains, descended canyons, encountered black bears, defended our breakfast from curious mountain goats, and spent afternoons watching seals and sea lions play in ocean currents. We lived, loved, and explored in both sickness and health, creating a home within each other, rather than one tied to any formal address.
Cynthia & Christopher
Destination: Hawaii
When my husband and I talked about where we wanted to honeymoon, it only took a second before we simultaneously blurted out, "Hawaii!" Since the very moment we started dating (a mere five years ago), we've been travelers at heart. We'd spent a lot of our vacation time off work visiting family & friends wherever they may have lived. If we weren't able to leave our hometown, then we made sure our gas tank was full so we could discover what was in our own backyard.
Kate & Craig
Destination: United Kingdom, Italy, & Greece
Helen Keller said that life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. I couldn't agree more and when I met Craig, I knew I'd found a kindred spirit. Two months after we met, I started an intense two-year Master's program at Pepperdine. Six months later, I made a major job change. Five months after that, we got engaged and started planning our magical wedding which was in Scottsdale, AZ in April 2012. The next month, we bought our first house and in August I graduated from Pepperdine. So how could we top these adventures? Well, the best honeymoon ever, of course!
Megan & Adi
Destination: France, Croatia, Italy, & Norway
After six years together, Adi finally popped the question while we were on a gorgeous hike in Alaska. The next day, we talked about possible wedding dates. Megan, a school teacher in Southern California, looked forward to a summer wedding since she would have more time while off work. Adi, originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, dreamed of a honeymoon that included visiting his hometown of Mostar and several family members overseas. With only his two-week vacation time, this simply was not possible. We decided to quit our jobs, move our things into storage, get married, and then travel around Europe for seven weeks. Oh, and upon our return we would move to Northern California and find new jobs. Needless to say, our parents were skeptical!
Lauren & Tyler
Destination: Arizona
In registering with Traveler's Joy, we opted for memories in lieu of material gifts, and what a wonderful decision it was. If you don't need more "stuff", Traveler's Joy is for you. If passive travel is just not your style, Jerome is for you. Our honeymoon was full of adventure, life-enriching experiences, learning, great food, funny stories, and most of all, the handful of people that embraced us as part of their community for the week we were there. Jerome is a special place, full of special people. This rugged mountain town changed us, made us more intuitive, more adventurous, more receptive to shared experiences, and, we believe, set the tone for our marriage. We are looking forward to many anniversary trips, maybe even family vacations there in the future. Who knows? Perhaps one day, if we should be so fortunate, we will call it home. For good.
Katie & Jennifer
Destination: Key West
We realize that many honeymooners will have wild and crazy stories about faraway exotic trips that cost a lot of money. But for us, the heart and core of a honeymoon is that it doesn't matter how far away you go, or how much you spend, but rather the quality time you share with a loved one doing things that make you both smile. That's exactly what our trip to Key West was.

18 U.S. Code § 892 - Making extortionate extensions of credit
(a) Whoever makes any extortionate extension of credit, or conspires to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
(b) In any prosecution under this section, if it is shown that all of the following factors were present in connection with the extension of credit in question, there is prima facie evidence that the extension of credit was extortionate, but this subsection is nonexclusive and in no way limits the effect or applicability of subsection (a):
(1) The repayment of the extension of credit, or the performance of any promise given in consideration thereof, would be unenforceable, through civil judicial processes against the debtor
(2) The extension of credit was made at a rate of interest in excess of an annual rate of 45 per centum calculated according to the actuarial method of allocating payments made on a debt between principal and interest, pursuant to which a payment is applied first to the accumulated interest and the balance is applied to the unpaid principal.
(3) At the time the extension of credit was made, the debtor reasonably believed that either
(A) one or more extensions of credit by the creditor had been collected or attempted to be collected by extortionate means, or the nonrepayment thereof had been punished by extortionate means; or
(c) In any prosecution under this section, if evidence has been introduced tending to show the existence of any of the circumstances described in subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2), and direct evidence of the actual belief of the debtor as to the creditor's collection practices is not available, then for the purpose of showing the understanding of the debtor and the creditor at the time the extension of credit was made, the court may in its discretion allow evidence to be introduced tending to show the reputation as to collection practices of the creditor in any community of which the debtor was a member at the time of the extension.

A proposal limiting to 2 percent the pay raises firefighter and police unions are able to get in mediated contracts with fiscally distressed communities is being billed as a way to help struggling communities remain solvent.
The state Comptrollers Office has designated communities as fiscally distressed if, over a five year period, they have reserve funds that are less than five percent of their budgets, or their tax rate ranks among the top 25 percent in the state.
A proposal in Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos Executive Budget limits to 2 percent the raises these communities can give to its police and firefighter unions if contracts are reached through binding arbitration.
In binding arbitration, a mediator draws up the terms of a contract and both sides have to accept the terms.
William D. Nelson, Ogdensburg mayor and president of the New York Conference of Mayors, said the proposal will help struggling communities.
Ogdensburg is listed as a fiscally distressed city.
The arbitrator would have to take into account the fiscal situation of the community that hes looking to make an award to, Mr. Nelson said. It will look at the true financial picture of a municipality. There are a number of communities across the state that are on the verge of bankruptcy.
He said this proposal is one more tool to assist towards financial stability.
Also among the north country municipalities on the list of distressed communities are St. Lawrence, Jefferson and Lewis counties, Potsdam, Canton, Massena, Gouverneur, Watertown, Dexter, Adams, Carthage, Lowville, Malone and Saranac Lake.
The governors proposal has come under attack by the International Association of Firefighters, which in a news release called Mr. Cuomos proposal an assault on the livelihoods of the firefighters and police across the state.
But Ogdensburg Firefighters Association President Terry Shaver said the proposal might not have much effect.
Weve never had to come to binding arbitration, he said.
Because of that, Mr. Shaver said isnt worried.
Quite honestly I dont have an opinion, Mr. Shaver said. Its not policy yet.
St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin M. Wells echoed that sentiment.
The only way [the new rules] could come into play is if somebody went into binding arbitration, he said. I dont see it having a huge effect here.
International Association of Firefighters President Harold A. Schaitberger said in a letter to Mr. Cuomo that the proposal would make the binding arbitration law unworkable.
[The governors] proposal will negatively impact over 6,000 fire fighters in 102 jurisdictions throughout the state. Our economists believe that, as crafted, your proposal would effectively allow 95 percent of jurisdictions to avoid binding interest arbitration by falling into a fiscally distressed category, he wrote.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Some tourist who drives along Nine Mile Canyon Road for the first time will take it for granted that there are no rooster tails of dust being churned up and no man-sized chuckholes lying in wait to swallow tires.
After two years of work and more than $20 million invested, the road is wider, safer and surfaced with rock chips and a slurry seal. Improvements stretch 34 miles from the Soldier Creek Mine to the Great Hunt pictograph panel at Cottonwood Canyon.
Oh, and just a few miles up canyon from the mine, there's an asphalt patch near the road shoulder. It is likely to be the first of many patches on the road because rock chips and microsurfacing are not all that durable.
Engineers estimate that road upkeep could cost Carbon and Duchesne counties around $700,000 a year.
This is one reason why the Carbon County Commission wants to plunk another $16 million on the road to pave it with asphalt. Loan payments would likely be cheaper than maintenance.
So the county has amended its priority list on requests to the Permanent Community Impact Board to ask for a $9.6 million grant and a $6.4 million loan.
"It would be ludicrous to let it deteriorate," Commissioner John Jones told members of the Nine Mile Canyon Road Cooperative Board last week. He said the same at a public hearing on the priority list at the commission meeting the next day. (Technically it was the commission acting as the Municipal Building Authority.)
While Jones contended that the paving would protect what has already been invested, citizen Steve Tanner claimed it would do more harm than good during the public comment period.
Tanner said the paving would create "a total industrial highway" through the canyon. It would be used more for transporting heavy crude oil than for tourism. Such a thing was never in the Environmental Impact Statement, he added.
Jones said that while some tank trucks might use the paved road, the overall benefits would still be significant for tourism.
This is not the first time asphalt paving has been discussed. More than a year ago, the Recreation/Transportation Special Service District Board rejected that option in favor of the chip seal surface.
The reasoning at the time was that while maintenance would be more expensive, it could also be deferred if there were a financial crunch. There is no such flexibility on loan payments, though.
The district, like the CIB, depends on mineral lease royalties for funds. With natural gas prices depressed and the future of coal uncertain, the district board decided to hold off on the asphalt option.

Kenneth Perry
Our loving Father, Kenneth Perry, age 60, peacefully passed away at his home in Midvale on June 13, 2012. Born in Dragerton to Marvin and Frances Perry; he was the youngest of three sons.
Kenneth was a graduate of East Carbon High School and went on to earn a Bachelors of Science in Mining Engineering from the University of Utah. Along with his degree, he was presented the "Old-Timers Award" for outstanding and senior student.
He married Gerrie Elkin on June 29, 1972 and their union was sealed for all time and eternity in the Manti LDS Temple on Feb. 12, 1993.
Kenneth enjoyed a thirty-year career working as a mining engineer for the local coal mines and traveled the world over, assisting in the development of new mining technologies.
His most favorite hobbies included sharing time with his loving family trolling for lake trout at Fish Lake or Flaming Gorge and enjoying the natural beauty and animals of Yellowstone National Park.
Kenneth was also an avid trapsman. Running his traplines in the Utah hills, he frequently amused his daughter by cleverly warming burrito lunches on the engine manifold of his 4X4.
Kenneth is survived by his son, Steven Perry (Cheyenne); and daughter DeAnna (Mike) Perry-Danis, Hubbell, Mich., and St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Michael (Dona) Perry, Mikelle Perry, Kade Perry, great-granddaughter, Melannie; and his brother, Dean, West Valley City. He was preceded in death by his father, Marvin; mother, Frances; brother, Laird; and his beloved wife, Gerrie.
Viewing will be at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at Crescent Ridge 2nd Ward, 10975 S. Prescott (1650 E), Sandy, with a service starting at 11 a.m. Burial will be at Larkin Sunset Gardens.

Beginning a marriage is perhaps the most important step that people take in their lives. It is an event for which life often prepares us poorly. While love is the foundation of marriage, love alone cannot be our only preparation for marriage, for married life may be difficult and may feel "less-than-loving" at times. The church cares deeply for couples entering the sacrament of marriage and offers these Pre-Cana sessions as part of the preparation for your life together. These marriage preparation sessions will assist you in discovering within your relationship those significant areas of strength and uniqueness upon which to build a lasting, loving marriage.
In view of the many stresses which affect marriage in today's society, the Catholic Church wants to help engaged couples to think and communicate more fully about areas of married life which may or may not have been discussed before. As you may be aware, matrimony is a sacrament and in the Catholic Church, all sacraments (with the exception of annointing of the sick) require some form of preparation on the part of the adult, parent, or child. Participation in a marriage preparation process/program prior to the sacrament of matrimony is the policy of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
Pre-Cana is 9-12 hours in length; group size is strictly limited according to group-dynamic needs and/or site restrictions. Married volunteer leader couples, trained by the Archdiocese, facilitate the sessions, drawing from and sharing with you experiences from their own marriage in the areas of communication, decision-making/finances, human sexuality, and marital spirituality. You'll be asked to listen to presentations on these topics, to do written exercises from a workbook, to participate in small-group discussions, and to engage in personal sharing with your future spouse.
The Archdiocesan policy "Marriage in the Lord" requests that you both, as an engaged couple, contact the priest or deacon to witness your wedding at least six months before your proposed wedding day. The priest or deacon will act as principal advisor in your formal marriage preparation process. Since each Pre-Cana series fills quickly, please register for the marriage preparation program immediately after that first interview with your clergy advisor.
Next Sessions: Spring 2016 dates TBD
Campus Ministry offers Pre-Cana classes for couples who are associated with the University. Classes are held once a year in the spring, and generally take place over the course of a weekend. During the weekend we will alternate between large group discussion and small "breakout" discussion groups. The cost is $200. We do not provide accommodations on campus for out of town guests as school is generally in session when our Pre-Cana classes are offered. As you may know, these conferences are designed to meet the diocesan requirement for engaged couples. The certificate showing that you have participated in these conferences will be part of your permanent wedding record file.
The classes will run each day from approximately 11 a.m. - 5 pm at the Timonium campus. Final details will be confirmed closer to the event.
If either of you has been married before or has children, Loyola's program is not the best option for you. The Archdiocese of Baltimore offers a Remarriage Program that better suits the challenges you will face. Please contact the Archdiocese of Baltimore at 410-547-5417 about the possibility of enrolling in their Remarriage Program. Another option is Remarriage Programs offered through parishes. You may contact your parish to see if one is available.
Our registration forms are included below. Please do not register until our next session dates have been set!
Archdiocese of Baltimore Pre-Cana Conferences
The Archdiocese of Baltimore offers Pre-Cana classes for Baltimore couples at a variety of locations throughout the year. Please contact the marriage preparation and enrichment office to inquire about class availability, ask questions, or to register for their classes. Contact information:
Archdiocese of Baltimore
320 Cathedral Street
Baltimore, MD 21201
Baltimore Catholic Engaged Encounter Conferences
The Engaged Encounter weekend utilizes a dynamic process based on listening, writing, and dialogue. The process encourages the engaged couple to concentrate on building a relationship. The weekend extends from 7:30 p.m. Friday evening to approximately 4:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon. Free from the pressures and distractions of daily living, the engaged couple has the opportunity to concentrate exclusively on each other, while examining the essential issues they will encounter within the marriage relationship.
The design of the Weekend encourages the couple to explore mutual strengths and weaknesses, goals, aspirations and attitudes concerning family life, children, sexuality, finances, the church, and society. The couples are encouraged to communicate in terms of planning their marriage, not only a wedding day celebration.
All weekends are held at Holy Trinity Spiritual Center in Pikesville. Please direct any questions or inquiries regarding these weekends to the Engaged Encounter office at the address and telephone number below:
Baltimore Catholic Engaged Encounter
P.O. Box 255
Joppa, MD 21085 -0255
Also, we strongly recommend viewing the For Your Marriage website prior to your wedding preparation program and throughout your marriage.

The Knicks Hit the First Bump in the Road
Brian DiMenna
Friday night's loss to Houston was not an effort that required much in the way of advanced statistics if you wanted to understand what happened. The Knicks' defensive efficiency was just a picture of Eddy Curry eating a burrito and, adjusted for pace, the defense actually gave up 17,000 points and a field goal.
It was just an all-around hideous night.
But it also brings us to the first semi-crisis of the Knicks' season. After looking like a revelation through the first nine games, the Knicks have been the sloppy, defensively-challenged team many feared they might be over the last six or so quarters. It's been jarring.
And yet, it doesn't have to be a terribly bad thing. Only the most optimistic among us thought the Knicks would simply blitz the league and take no prisoners, not that I've really ever seen anything wrong with taking a few prisoners (Right? Why not? Help yourself).
But to have some hiccups this early in the season could actually be a good thing. One, it gives head coach Mike Woodson a chance to refocus the team while actually still in a very good position. The struggles of the recent games have also given a glimmer into how a future role for Amar'e Stoudemire might actually work swimmingly. The Knicks are clearly asking an awful lot on the offensive end of Carmelo Anthony, and using Stoudemire as scoring punch for the second unit is looking more and more like a no-brainer.
There's obviously plenty of other things to pour through, like whether this whole "lose our collective heads over every bad call" thing will continue — if it were up to me, I'd just assign Kurt Thomas all "glaring at refs until they're a shell of the men they once were" responsibilities — and figuring out exactly what's wrong with Marcus Camby, be it injury, or a lack of fitness so pronounced we should be amazed he can make it to the arena.
But this doesn't have to be a bad thing. The Knicks had their first bad loss of the season Friday night, let's see how they respond.

FORT DRUM Even without a budget deal to keep the federal government running, civilian employees will show up for work on post at their regular time this morning.
Unless the shutdown is averted, many of them will be sent home within four hours. However, the extensive deployment operations on post may mean a majority of civilian workers could be excepted from the furloughs. Employees will receive their formal notice of whether they have been furloughed when they come in.
The ax will fall, and well go from there, said Jeffrey W. Zuhlke, president of American Federation of Government Employees Local 400.
On Monday afternoon, Mr. Zuhlke said the numbers he saw indicated about 65 percent of the approximately 1,200 union members, about 780 people, could be exempted. For employees not exempted, they will leave work within four hours of arrival, with the timetable set to allow for an orderly transfer of work until they can return.
Soldiers will remain on normal duty status even if a shutdown is in effect. President Obama signed legislation late Monday ensuring the military will be paid during any government shutdown.
Mr. Zuhlke said employees receiving the exception may not be paid for their work until Congress sorts out a budget bill.
For employees not exempted to be reimbursed for the pay lost to furloughs, Congress would have to pass separate legislation.
With this Congress, the chances are pretty slim of that happening, he said.
During a shutdown furlough, exemptions can be made for positions in firefighting, law enforcement, health care and physical security, along with personnel support, military operations and national security.
Mr. Zuhlke said the high number of exemptions was a result of mission requirements for the post, and the large number of soldiers both returning from and heading to Afghanistan.
The post is welcoming home thousands of soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Brigade Combat Teams, and the 3rd Brigade Combat Team is deploying from the post with about 2,000 personnel.
Less than 24 hours before the deadline, leadership of the post and defense officials at the Pentagon prepared for the worst.
Fort Drum on Monday morning released an email sent by Michael H. McKinnon, deputy garrison commander, to the Armys Installation Management Command.
These are difficult times; our workforce continues to carry a burden that is not commensurate with the high level of service you have consistently provided to our soldiers and families here at Fort Drum, Mr. McKinnons note read. I am proud of how youve all carried that burden to this point.
In a message to DOD personnel, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the looming government shutdown meant we are now in a moment of regrettable and avoidable uncertainty.
Mr. Hagels message also thanked civilian employees for their efforts.
The furloughs are in no way a reflection of the importance of your work, the hard effort you put forth every day, or your dedicated service to our department and our nation.

DaveB.C.HairLight BrownNormal HairDry HairRip-offI dropped and broke the glass vial of Azulene oil before I was able to clean the wax off. WIthout the azulene oil the wax is IMPOSSIBLE to remove from your skin. I tried hot water (very hot water eventually) and numerous types of soap to try remove the wax. I scrubbed extremely hard over an area that was already sensitive from the waxing. Eventually I resorted to RUBBING ALCOHOL and even that had little effect.
I do not recommend this product at all.
The best product I ever used was COLD WAX. Cold wax is like honey and comes off with even cold water.
I am going back to the cold wax.

ShawnNew HampshireHairLight BrownThick or Coarse HairNo Pain No GainOverall it will do the job, but enlist a friend or partner to pull the strips off. Trust me doing it yourself is not the way you want to go about this. Wear latex gloves because reapplication can get messy if you touch any of the wax. Pull very fast across area and don't reapply to same area more than twice. Recommend to Buy extra oil for after application tenderness. About ten strips will do a medium hairy front torso.10 out of 10 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

The spring runways were awash in nude tones galore and designers created enough olive green and khaki pieces for a small (very fashionable) army, but that doesn't mean your beauty look should be neutral. Au contraire, dear readers! In fact, it's time to take a tip from fashion frontrunners like Chloe Sevigny and Lake Bell and think pinkÂ--lipstick, that is. But lest you think we're recommending some sugary sweet shade, bear in mind that the color the stylish set is reaching for is anything but innocent; the color du jour is bold and bright fuchsia!
The original runway inspiration for this trend comes from the Marc by Marc Jacobs S/S 10 show, where the models' lips were painted electric magenta for a brazen beauty look with punk rock undertones. Created by the masterful maquillage maestro Dick Page, who is also the Artistic Director for Shiseido, these bright fuchsia lips are obviously the most outrageous example of the trend, but we think they actually translate to real-life quite nicely. To get the exact shade, start by prepping your lips with a moisturizing lip balm. Then apply a layer of Shiseido's Perfect Rouge Lipstick ($25) in Fuchsia RS320, followed by a touch of bright pink high-pigment powder, which will make the color pop. (Try MAC Pro's Pigment ($19.50) in Magenta Madness or Red Electric or Make Up For Ever's Star Powder ($19) in Iridescent Fuchsia; the first two are matte, while the final suggestion offers a slightly shimmery version.)
Of course, if the full-tilt fuchsia runway version is a bit much for you, just look at the way stylish celebs are wearing the tint. For example, if you're interested in an understated iteration, like the soft shade Keira Knightley was snapped wearing as she left London's Comedy Theatre earlier this month or the pretty pink Maggie Gyllenhaal wore to the Oscars, try NARS' Lipstick ($24) in Schiap or shu uemura's Rouge Unlimited Lipstick ($23) in WN 249. We also love the wearable color Gwyneth Paltrow picked for an event at the Hotel La Mamounia in Marrakech, Morocco; try Dolce & Gabbana's Lipstick ($30) in Shocking, shown above, for a look-a-like product.
If you're ready to embrace this pink-purple hue with all your heart, we have some product suggestions from Chloe Sevigny and Lake Bell for you. According to Bell's makeup artist, Julie Harris, the actress showed off NARS' Lipstick ($24) in Funny Face at the premiere of It's Complicated in New YorkÂ--a fabulous selection indeed. Meanwhile, Chloe Sevigny's shade of choice is the most popping purple of the bunch; she was spotted at the after-party for the HBO show How To Make It In America wearing MAC's Lipstick ($14) in Violetta. Try any of these vibrant huesÂ--or our recent Spring Essentials pickÂ--for a fabulous fuchsia look!

The Rev. Jonathan K. Wixson, the new pastor at the Wesleyan Church, 31 David St., is on a mission from God.
Through community outreach and marketing, Rev. Wixson is looking to revitalize Wesleyan. He said the churchs history of being internally instead of externally focused has isolated the community and potential parishioners.
Were not changing the message, just our methods, Rev. Wixson said Wednesday.
As part of the changes, Rev. Wixson and church members will replace the churchs pews with chairs to create a multipurpose space. The space will be used for movie nights, zumba and other community events as well as Sunday worship, Rev. Wixson said.
The churchs basement will be converted into a teen-only zone.
Its about giving kids a place where they feel they belong and letting them know care about them, Rev. Wixson said. They feel ownership and know there is a place they can hang out that is safe.
Rev. Wixson said he hopes the new spaces will be more inviting to worshippers and their neighbors.
I think people can expect a time of vibrant worship with solid biblical preaching and use of all different media including video and all kinds of different types of worship styles, Rev. Wixson said.
To remarket the church, Rev. Wixson has created a website: www.ogdensburgwc.com.
Rev. Wixson said he hopes the changes will increase parishioners. The church currently has thirty members.
I foresee doubling and even tripling that, Rev. Wixson said.
Rev. Wixson comes to his new call from Turning Point Wesleyan Church, where he served for three and half years. He replaces Rev. Gloria Strong.
Mr. Wixson grew up in Horseheads. He was a youth pastor and an assistant pastor before taking the senior pastor role in Ogdensburg. He has been instrumental in two different church turnarounds and re-launches in his six years as a pastor.
His enthusiasm and intensity is uplifting, Wesleyan Spiritual Formation Director Bruce C. Pero said Wednesday. I think hes bringing the church in a direction weve wanted to go in for a while.
Before the changes, Mr. Pero said the church was in a rut.
We were isolated, he said. We wanted to go out into Ogdensburg and reach the public so we could become part of the community. Rev. Wixson said he does not know how long he will be staying in Ogdensburg.
It could be five or ten years or indefinitely, he said. For now we are focusing on the work to be done here. Im happy to be here.
Rev. Wixson lives in Ogdensburg with his wife, Jamie, and eight-week old daughter, Myka. The church will be holding several events to for the community:
n Today the church will hold a Trunk or Treat from 6 to 8 p.m. at the church. Games, candy and prizes will be free for the whole family.
n A meet the pastor and his family event will be held Nov. 10 with service starting at 11 a.m. Refreshments and snacks after at the pastors house.
n A family movie night will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Nov. 15 and Jan. 10.
n On Dec. 6 to 9 p.m., parents can take a night off for holiday shopping. Supervision will be provided for children as they enjoy crafts, snacks, a movie, and games. Parents can RSVP by calling 323-9472.
n A candy cane festival will be from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. All ages are welcome. Learn the story of the Candy cane and the love of Christ with a story, crafts, snacks and games.
n Worship is every Sunday at 11 a.m. Sunday school will be offered at 10 a.m. Coffee and refreshments held after the service.

Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
Reindeerspotting: Escape from Santaland
2010. Finland. Directed by Joonas Neuvonen. In Rovaniemi, a northern Finnish town where many of the young people turn to drugs, Jani, a handsome, charming young man, becomes increasingly embroiled in addiction and violence. His story is serendipitously recorded by the filmmaker, a friend who follows him with a camera from northern Finland to Paris and the Mediterranean as he attempts to be free. But Jani is gradually undone by the addictive power of Subutex, a legal anti-addictive even stronger than methadone; a troubled family that depends on his addiction; and the thugs that maintain his habit. In Finnish; English subtitles. 86 min.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WZZM)-- The WORX JawSaw is a chainsaw tool that has a unique design where the bar and chain is fully enclosed, providing safety but also allowing you to cut through limbs and branches right on the ground.
Al Forist thought it'd be the perfect tool for what he needed around his yard. Trees have sprung up around his property, and he wanted something to cut down low-lying branches, especially for clean-up after a storm.
The JawSaw plugs uses electricity. With an extension cord, we took it around to several trees in Al's backyard. It easily cut through small and medium sized branches with effortlessly. Al was very pleasantly surprised at how easy and how well it worked.
The JawSaw also worked very well cutting up branches that had fallen in Al's yard. Without having to hold the limbs or lift anything, you simply cut through the branches while standing upright.
Al thought it was fairly heavy, but for what he needed it for, he said it wasn't hard to hold and was extremely easy to use.
For an additional cost, you can buy a five foot extension accessory, but Al didn't feel the need to purchase that. He bought the JawSaw online for $99.99 plus $9.73 for shipping. Al thought it was worth it and was happy he purchased the JawSaw.

Features the MO100SP folk guitar with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides for big, satisfying tone....
A timeless combination that recalls some of the most sought-after guitars in history.
Since entering the scene for the first time in 1986, Mitchell has earned itself a well-deserved reputation as a maker of high-quality guitars that anybody can afford. These instruments are great choices for beginners, students and hobbyists, as well as pro guitarists looking for an economical guitar to bring along when away from the studio or stage. Most of the guitars you'll find here in Mitchell's lineup are based on the ever-popular dreadnought body style. The larger sound chamber in these instruments makes them louder and bolder than their smaller cousins. They're a must for bluegrass, and Mitchell offers them traditionally shaped in models like the MD100 and MDJ10 as well as with a cutaway, such as in the MD200SCE. The cutaway shape is great for highly technical players, since it gives you better access to the extreme end of the fretboard.
For orchestral and studio use, the classical body style may be a better choice than the dreadnought. Mitchell has this segment covered with the MO100S and MX400. If simplicity is what you're after, consider the MO. But if it's versatility you want, then the nod has to go to the MX: it uses a cutaway shape and it's acoustic-electric, so you have the option of plugging it in to an amplifier. That will allow you to be heard in bigger spaces, and gives you the ability to add effects pedals to your setup.
Are you looking to take your first steps into the world of folk guitar? If so, you've got to check out the MO100SPK Folk Acoustic Guitar Pack. It comes with a compact guitar, small enough for easy travel or young players, as well as a bundle of useful accessories. With a gig bag, tuner, DVD guide, strap, picks and even a spare set of strings all in the box, it's the perfect kit to hit the ground running.
Whether you opt for the bundle or a guitar alone, you can't go wrong with Mitchell. They're well-built, great-sounding and good-looking guitars and they couldn't be easier on the pocketbook. That's an enviable list of qualities and definitely makes for a solid choice.

Getting some of his better players back into practice tops Cooley's wish list. As NSU took the field at Turpin Stadium Monday evening for practice, frontline tailbacks Sidney Riley and Rob Walker along with guard Isaac Puapuaga were among those still awaiting a green light to get into action.
After Monday night's workout, the Demons will practice Tuesday afternoon and have their final scrimmage, in a controlled format, Wednesday night at 6. Cooley is hoping to see some of his mainstays back in action soon.
"Knock on wood, we're not looking at major injury situations, but it will really help us to get those guys back out there practicing. We're two weeks away from game day," said Cooley, noting the Demons open Sept. 1 at Texas Tech in a game that was finally set Monday for a 6 p.m. kickoff in Lubbock.
Having key players sidelined in preseason is a double-edged sword, because it does provide valuable opportunities for other players to speed their development by drilling alongside starters and getting more repetitions. Newcomers Corey Simmons at tight end and Matt Flores at tailback were the breakout stars in last Saturday night's scrimmage.
Simmons, a sophomre transfer from South Carolina whose father Clyde was a two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman, had four catches for 80 yards, including scores from 20, 8 and 39 yards. Flores, a true freshman from Lafayette-St. Thomas More starred with 129 yards rushing on 13 carries.
Those extra opportunities have certainly helped the development of some new offensive linemen, in particular, said Cooley.
"We have a few more solid backups than we've had, and they'll see significant time. Our depth is as good as it's ever been, especially on the offensive line. It's a tribute not only to (new offensive line) coach (Allen) Rudolph, but to the effort those guys put in during the summer to come in here in good shape, working with our new strength staff who have done a great job. It's paying off," he said.
As the Demons were in the first day of class at NSU for the fall semester, coaches were completing their review of tape from Saturday night's major scrimmage. Cooley saw plenty of bright spots after a sluggish start.
"Our tempo picked up after we scored the first touchdown. In the second series, all three units scored, and that was good to see. Our second unit had a great drive against the first defense and I saw some guys competing hard.
"I was real proud of the run in the goalline drill by Rumeall (Morris, who ran for 47 yards on 11 carries, including a rugged 2-yard touchdown). That was a tough run in traffic and he's a guy who has carried a big load for us with Sidney Riley and Rob Walker on the sidelines."
Demon quarterbacks were just 22-of-46 passing with a pair of interceptions, one returned 52 yards for a score by cornerback Imoan Claiborne. Starting quarterback Brad Henderson was 7-for-16 with one being overthrown and brought back to the house by Claiborne. Second-teamer Don Canyon went 10-of-23 and had one of the three touchdown passes caught by Simmons.
"All in all, our quarterbacks were solid overall. We had a couple passes we'd like back, but we can learn from those mistakes. Brad's completion rate wasn't great, but he had four balls dropped. Don also made a mistake he normally doesn't make, but both of those guys are having great camps," said Cooley.
"It was wet, but the number of dropped passes was disappointing. That's just concentration. We dropped some big plays, and the defense did a good job of coverage that had to do with some," he said.
The two interceptions, and no lost fumbles, were an improvement from six turnovers in the team's first scrimmage a week earlier.
"We did a better job taking care of the ball than in the first scrimmage. The defense played well and showed us some tough looks, things we'll see throughout the season. They made some plays, we did too. As a staff that's what you want," said Cooley.
