Support Our Troops® is the accrediting agency of the Seal of Assuranceâ"¢ program which authorizes use of the seal by troop-related groups and on troop-related products, thereby helping ensure that the generosity of people who support America's troops is not abused and facilitating more charitable giving to the troops.The Seal of Assuranceâ"¢ program enables you to know at a glance that your donation or purchase is safe and meaningful.
The Seal of Assuranceâ"¢ program is designed to increase giving to all troop-related charities by removing doubt and uncertainty. This program puts a mark on goods and advertisements to inform people that Support Our Troops® has reviewed the company or charity behind them and that in the opinion of Support Our Troops® an appropriate amount of the funds are going to the troops and/or their families.
Spend with troop-related charities and products that display the Seal of Assuranceâ"¢.
Know what you are doing!
When you make a purchase or a donation to show your support or patriotism, don't you want to know for certain that your purchase price is going to help the troops and their families?
You can! It's easy: Buy troop-related products, or donate to troop-related charities, that display the Support Our Troops® Seal of Assuranceâ"¢.Â
Here's how:
Support Our Troops® administers the Seal of Assurance accreditation program to help remove doubt and increase giving to all troop-related charities. When buying or donating in relation to troops or their families, look for the Seal of Assurance.
If it doesn't bear the Seal your money might not be going to the troops or their families.
The Seal of Assurance saves you a lot of time and investigation. The Seal means that they are accredited and in the opinion of Support Our Troops® an appropriate portion of your money is going to benefit the troops or their families.Â
The Seal is simple and may appear in any color.
When used on websites, the Seal appears as an active-link icon  which when clicked opens a small window in which Support Our Troops® confirms that the organization or merchant is an active accredited participant in the program. The Seal never properly appears as a static image on a website.
You can help!
- Whenever you get a mailer or see and advertisement that does not bear the Seal of Assurance, write or call them and ask them why they don't.
- Inform them that for the good of the troops and their families you must respectfully decline to purchase or donate until they do.
- There is little reason not to use the Seal, since all that has to be done is to contact SOT®, demonstrate organizational validity and pay the nominal annual $12 fee.
- This is a voluntary program, and so obviously do not penalize established well-known organizations which are legitimate when you know a reasonable portion of your interaction with them is going to benefit the troops.

For once I compliment Clay. I think this shows a very optimistic view of life. The curtain is opening on the future. A more pessimistic look would have the curtain closing on the blue skies trapping the kids inside. The curtain being placed in front of the print in the lower right is also a nice touch, giving school the most important position in the cartoon.
Nicely done.

Plug the Hole
One bad accident from this deepwater drilling and the cry goes out to shut it down. Why we are still allowed to drive? People die daily from accidents involving cars, trucks, vans, and motorcycles. In 2009, 93 people were killed daily on our roads. There is no nationwide call to stop people from driving. The exhaust from our vehicles pollute the atmosphere at an alarming rate, choking our planet, yet we are still allowed to drive. One failure of one valve and people want to shut down the whole sha-bang. I do not understand.

All our villas in Marrakech are visited and handpicked by our in-house experts
Amazing Extras
Just the name Marrakech conjures up images of a mysterious and exotic city, and for hundreds of years, travellers have been entranced by this African oasis. A focal point for traders who had driven through the Sahara to sell their wares, Marrakech remains a must-see destination for many of today's more adventurous holiday-makers. Anyone keen to delve a little further into the unknown will be captivated by the Moroccan experience, and those wanting just a taste of local culture can take a trip into the heart of the Medina, Marrakech's old walled city. Visitors will relish the chance to haggle - or watch someone else have a go - in the Souks and Bazaars, where the range of produce available has to be seen to be believed. Whilst most mosques are closed to non-Muslims, the exteriors are impressive enough in their own right, especially the Minaret attached to the Koutoubia Mosque which dominates the Marrakech skyline. With the Atlas Mountains providing the perfect backdrop, a trip to this legendary city will live in the memory for years.Learn more about Marrakech »

Palmeraie Golf Palace & Spa, MarrakechView Villa
Marrakech is the kind of place where you find snake charmers and fortune tellers in one area of the Medina, before turning the corner to be greeted by monkey trainers and an abundance of orange juice stalls. To get a great view of the city and all its sights, hop on to a Calèche (horse-drawn carriage) and the driver will take you wherever you want to go – just don't forget to bargain down from the inflated price he may try to charge you.
For a true taste of classic Moroccan cuisine, try a Tajine with cous-cous. Named after the clay pot with a cone-shaped lid in which they are gloriously slow-cooked, Tajines usually combine meat or fish with fruits and vegetables to provide a wonderfully traditional meal. Delicious filo pastry dishes such as Pastilla or Briouettes are real favourites, and to sample a bit of everything, why not try a selection of international cuisines at the Palmeraie Golf Palace.
Renowned the world over, the Souks and Bazaars of Marrakech give those who like to shop a great chance to test their bartering skills. Laid out in the narrow streets to the north of the Medina square, you can find almost anything if you look hard enough. From lanterns and carpets to herbs and spices – each section specializes in a particular type of product. Those keen to expand their horizons and venture into the city by evening will be tantalized by the Night Market, where the shopping experience is heightened by the street entertainers and musicians.
Whilst many of the more sacred buildings are out-of bounds to non-Muslims, there is more than enough in Marrakech to keep those intrigued by the city's colourful history. The pink dried mud walls of the old city date from the 12th century, and both within and outside of them there are countless places to see. From the fabled Badii Palace to the Saadian Tombs, hidden in a beautiful garden at the end of the narrowest of passages - you will find a reminder of Marrakech's fascinating past. Take a trip to Les Jardins de Majorelle, which was a gift from Yves Saint Laurent and experience a vast array of wonderful plants, providing yet another colourful and diverse activity!

Hi, My name is Mary and I'm addicted to Instagram. I thoroughly abuse the Rise, Earlybird, and Inkwell settings most.
Are you addicted to Instagram too? Well, then you should definitely follow me: @FabMaryDarling and like I can follow you and we can like Instagrams together forever.
(and let us not forget Miss Leah @FabLeahAshley)
Here are the highlights of my week as described in Earlybird (and a little Inkwell).
I arrived home from teen camp completely exhausted but inspired. I've been meditating daily, hitting the beach in the morning and eating a whole lot more vegetables.
See what I mean about vegetables!?
I've even been making morning smoothies. This is a replica of the most amazing smoothie ever digested in Portland.
*Coconut Milk
*A Spoonful of Coconut Butter
*Almond Milk
*A Spoonful of Almond Butter
I saw To Rome With Love and Moonrise Kingdom again. Woody Allen is one (if not THE one) of my favorite filmmakers and Wes Anderson is utterly brilliant as well. I definitely think Moonrise Kingdom is Anderson's best work since The Royal Tenenbaums. I sobbed through the entire middle, and I was completely overwhelmed by it's beauty, even just the font in the credits. The man is a genius. Correction, both men are geniuses.
And then it was back to the grind, which is hilarious when you think of this as a grind at all. Leah and I are shopping for our latest episode of #2Fab and took a little break in a memory foam papasan chair… Did you even know those existed!?
And then here we are getting ready to shoot our newest episode of 2Fab.
We managed to squeeze in a little nap in Bed, Bath, and Beyond… Haha.
Hit up the library.
All the while squeezing in meetings and more filming. This was the best ending to our day yesterday… INTRODUCING Affogato! It's ice cream in espresso. Um, yes. Leah and I both opted for the hazelnut variety, and it was pretty much mind blowing!
Hope you all are having a Fabulous week!!

Finally a manufacturer realizes that not all runners are tall. Average height runners 5'8" and under can not find a pair of running pants with shorter than 32" inseam. Until now. These pants have a true 30.5" inseam which is excellent for the average height man in America.

Comments about Mens Brooks Vapor-Dry 3D Stadium II Pant Full Length Pants:
Despite living in the Sunshine State (Florida), I had to buy full length running pants recently for the first time in years, because of the cold weather. As a runner I was exceptic since I never considered running with full length pants (I like to run comfortable and light). To my surprise Brooks offered me an excellent, durable option I didn't know I had. Great lightweight fit that allows free movement, while staying comfortably warm. A must buy for those chilly days with temperatures between 40 and 60F.

An Iowa State University task force voted Thursday night to drop the name "Veishea," but keep the event.
The group was formed by President Steven Leath shortly after a late-night crowd disturbance in April that included the overturning of cars and toppling of light poles near the Ames campus. One student was injured.
The task force voted last week to discontinue the current setup of the annual celebration. The group will have open meetings next Thursday and on June 26th to further discuss plans. It has until June 30th to send recommendations to Leath.

The good news: the head of the Federal Communications Commission has laid out a plan to regulate the high fees cell phone companies charge consumers for bailing out of their wireless contracts early.
The not-so-good news: it's similar to a plan put forth by the cell phone industry last month.
Kevin Martin's plan would see the termination fees linked to the actual costs of the phones. In addition, the fees would be reduced over the time of the contract.
Martin noted during a hearing yesterday that his own wife is among those upset about the fee structure as it stands. But the FCC boss didn't specifically commit the agency to regulating the fees.

MILWAUKEE -- Rival clubs have reached out to the Mets about trading for second baseman Daniel Murphy, who is coming off his first appearance in the All-Star Game.

Written by Ron Scaglia Friday, 29 March 2013 00:00
Frank Archipolo was driving on the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway on what appeared to be routine evening. However that would soon change for the Town of Oyster Bay Parks Department employee when he saw smoke coming from a home in Plainview.
Archipolo pulled off the highway and went towards the danger. He ran to the house and spotted a woman and a man standing near the front door, where he then helped the woman down from the porch and asked her if there was anyone else in the home. The woman told him that her daughter was still inside, so Archipolo entered the house.
As he did, the woman's daughter came toward him. He helped her out, and the family's dog escaped as well, all thanks to Archipolo's act of heroism.
"I just thank God that I was able to be there and everybody was safe," Archipolo told the Town of Oyster Bay Board at a recent meeting in which he was honored for his courage. "Of course, my wife was yelling at me," he joked.
Archipolo may be humble about the experience, and even joke about it, but Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto was quite serious in praising Archipolo for his efforts.
"You are in no small measure what the Town of Oyster Bay should be, and is all about," Venditto said to Archipolo.
Venditto also took the opportunity to praise Town of Oyster Bay workers for their efforts. The supervisor frequently commends town workers for their work, and has specifically referred to efforts following Hurricane Sandy and recent winter storms.
"I have mentioned repeatedly about the value of our town workers and the job that they do," said Venditto. "Not only when they are one the clock, but also when nobody is watching. There are many acts of courage by our employees in all sorts of adverse situations."
Venditto also spoke about efforts following the snowstorm in March. The supervisor said that he had to leave the Town of Oyster Bay and traveled through other municipalities and found that the town was in much better condition than other locations.
"After 24 hours, there was a marked difference," said Venditto, again praising the efforts of town workers and comparing the Town of Oyster Bay to other locations.
"I'll go further," added Councilman Anthony Macagnone. "After 72 hours, there was a marked difference."

Small children aren't great at sharing, as any parent or preschool teacher knows. But little kids get cut a lot of slack on the presumption that they don't know any better.
Well, the jig is up. Researchers have found that 3-year-olds know darned well that sharing is the right thing to do. But when given the chance to share stickers with another child, they hoarded instead.
That flipped around by age 8, the children shared stickers, giving half to another child.
In the past few years, developmental psychologists have been intensely interested in how humans develop altruism and other positive behaviors.
Craig Smith, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, is trying to nail down when and how those altruistic impulses develop. So he gave 102 children the chance to share, and tracked what they did and said.
"Maybe little kids think, 'I know I should share equally, but why should I?' " Smith says. "There's a sort of cynicism."
Nope. Smith's littlest test subjects were optimists, predicting that other children would share stickers with them.
Well, maybe they really meant to share, but at the last minute just couldn't stand to see those brightly colored scratch-and-sniff stickers go. They were too impulsive.
But when asked, the youngest children correctly predicted all along that they weren't going to share. It was like a miniature version of the reality show Hoarders.
"They're showing a funny sense of self-awareness," Smith tellls Shots. His results were published online in the journal PLOS One.
In interviews with the children, it became clear that they had vastly different approaches to the prospect of giving two of their four stickers to someone else, depending on their age. The 3-year-olds got sucked into desire, while the older children stayed focused on fairness.
"The littlest kids were talking about what they wanted. 'I love stickers, I want stickers, I don't have enough,' " Smith says. "The oldest kids were saying, 'I think it would be fair if I did it this way, it would be the nice thing to do, I want the other kids to be happy.'"
It's enough to make one wonder if some investment bankers never made it out of preschool.
The good news for parents is that the children do get better at sharing with age. "It's not something that parents or adults have to stress out about; it comes online," he says.

There are an ever-increasing number of drugs available to deal with chest congestion but the side effects associated with the use of these drugs is a concern for many of you.
Home remedies for congestion are free from side effects and can provide instant relief.
In order to make breathing easier, it becomes essential to liquefy the solid mucus so that it drains quickly.
Why not use simple easy to use remedies first? Maybe these examples of chest congestion home remedies will be helpful.
Steam: As easy as a pot on the stove filled with steaming water plus a towel for a tent, steam inhalation therapy is quick but nonetheless effective. By inhaling the steam for approximately 10 minutes, one can often notice a difference immediately. Due to steam inhalation, the accumulated mucus in the respiratory tract loosens up, which helps to release chest congestion.
Bath: A hot shower or bath can also contribute to ease the discomfort associated with chest congestion. Inhaling steam that has built up in the bathroom will moisten the air passages and thin out the mucus.
Eucalyptus - can kill several types of bacteria and viruses. Drink Eucalyptus leaf tea (available at herbalists or health food stores)
Can encourage better breathing and help to open clogged nasal and bronchial passages.
Eucalyptus Essential Oil: Can work wonders to improve or get rid of chest congestion, Bronchitis will sometimes respond very well to a eucalyptus steam inhalation..
Add 3-4 drops of Eucalyptus Essential oil into about 6 cups of boiled water. Make a tent with a towel, and, ensuring it's not TOO hot; inhale. The steam can provide the much needed relief from chest congestion.
Peppermint Essential Oil: Antibacterial action can help to rid your room of germs. Helps with better breathing; eases congestion.
Ginger: Can be very effective in conditions of chest congestion. To make ginger tea, slice ginger into 'coins' or grate 1 inch of ginger into a cup. Add boiling water. If possible, use a cup with a lid or a Mason jar with a lid. Allow to steep 15 minutes. Enjoy; sipping slowly!
Hot Tea: Having hot beverages like a cup of hot tea is one of the easiest chest congestion home remedies that can loosen and break down the mucus. Just drinking it is helpful but if you breathe in 'over the cup', inhaling the steam from the tea can help to open up blocked sinuses
FOOD Choices: Remember Horseradish?
Garlic, onions, ginger, peppers, parsley, mustard — are ALL decongestants. Use them in your cooking. Make a steaming broth with vegetable or chicken stock and add these foods to make a soothing decongesting soup or to your favourite bean stew or chili!
I know that in this busy life, sometimes, it's not about making it complicated!
Since our lung health and issues of respiratory complaints are a concern to many of you,
I will post some specific lung remedies asap.
If you or a family member have had ongoing issues with lung health
i.e. bronchitis, coughs, pneumonia…
Consider a supportive lung remedy to boost these all important organs and bring back to "optimum"

Lightning struck too close for comfort in Wolfe County Wednesday.
After initially striking a tree, the bolt ricocheted in several directions and in one of the paths was a school bus with several children onboard.
They were just a few stops away from home when some students in Wolfe County suddenly saw reddish-purple lights and heard an explosion. A lightning strike just inches away from them hit a tree.
"It sounded like dynamite going off right next to your ear," said Lucas Morris.
"It was a loud boom you could see the lightning and then you can see the glass fly to the other side of the bus," said Wolfe County Director of transportation John Halsey said.
Morris says it was one of the scariest moments he's ever experienced watching the bolt hit a tree and then come after him.
"After the lightning struck, we could smell the smoke coming from the tree," Morris said.
Luckily, the tree and bus were the only things damaged. A school nurse was sent to the scene, but other than being shaken up a bit, everyone was just fine.
"With a situation like this, our chances of this happening again is slim probably," Halsey said.
The damage to the bus has been repaired and back up and running again. as for the kids, they say they hope to never experience anything like this again.

I love savory sweet potatoes. Last night we had steak and a roasted beet salad with clementines and spinach so these potatoes were created to finish off the perfect Friday night dinner, complete with a bottle of Bogle ($9:)Cabernet Sauvignon. Depending on the dryness and size of your potatoes you may need to add more chicken broth. Also, depending on how spicy you like your food, either use more chipoltle peppers or less.

ATLANTA — Wearing a full beard, Western-style long-sleeved plaid shirt and jeans, Mitchell Boggs looked more like a lumberjack than a major league relief pitcher as he stood inside the visitors' locker room at Turner Field late Saturday afternoon.
Then again, the Dalton High and University of Georgia grad had just chopped down all three Atlanta Braves he faced in the bottom of the seventh inning to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the home team 3-2.
"Mitchell's biggest problem — maybe his only problem — has been finding that level of being ready to go, but not too ready," Cards manager Tony La Russa said after the Redbirds' second come-from-behind victory over the Braves in two days.
"He's a very competitive guy, always a very hard worker, and when he hits that level just right, like he did today, his stuff is outstanding. And he's only going to get better."
Boggs is 27, an age that often signals the prime of a professional athlete's career. And he's surrendered only one earned run in his last six appearances and 5 2/3 innings of work.
He's appeared in 12 games this season, striking out 15, walking three, recording three saves and compiling an earned run average of 1.84. But to show what kind of staff La Russa's assembling, St. Louis has four pitchers with lower ERAs who have appeared in at least seven games.
"This was just another great outing for our whole team," Boggs said of the Cards' 16th win in 27 games, a record to keep them atop the National League Central. "Just to be able to come back against their bullpen for a second straight game is tough to do. I guess we've got a pretty good bullpen, too, though."
At the start of last week he was believed to be La Russa's favorite for the closer's role in that pen. But Boggs stumbled in that spot Wednesday at Houston, blowing a save opportunity after giving up four hits and an earned run in a 6-5 loss.
But like any pitcher who expects to make it in the big leagues, Boggs didn't get bogged down with his failure. Instead he's pitched a perfect, scoreless inning each time up against the Braves.
"I certainly feel like I've got as much talent as anyone to compete at this level," he said. "I also feel like I have a real opportunity this year to establish myself."
St. Louis first gave Boggs that opportunity in 2008. He finished 3-2 in six starts, his first win a 7-2 decision at Cincinnati on June 10, and was 2-3 in nine 2009 starts. La Russa moved him last year to the bullpen, where he also went 2-3 in 61 appearances.
Asked if part of his manager's increased confidence in him this season has come from taming his over-eagerness, Boggs said, "I'll never apologize for what I do to get ready to play. You don't want to get too excited, but that energy is part of what makes me the best pitcher I can be."
He grew up watching three of the best pitchers in the game during the 1990s — Braves by the names of John Smoltz, Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux.
"I was here for Game 6 of the 1995 World Series, when [the Braves] beat the Cleveland Indians to win it all," Boggs said. "I was so fortunate that my family gave me so many opportunities to come here for games. I still love this place."
He'll always especially love Smoltz for the way the former Braves great treated him when Smoltz briefly played for the Cards a couple of seasons back.
"It was definitely a little weird," Boggs said. "I mean, I was watching him pitch when I was 7 years old. But he actually introduced himself to me. I think someone had told him what a big fan I was, and that made it all a lot easier. He was really a great friend to me ... very helpful. It was pretty neat."
Life back home in Dalton has been anything but neat the last few days, the tornadoes too close for comfort to the home he bought last fall for himself and bride Lele Crutchfield.
"Fortunately, we didn't have any problems," said Boggs, who intended to spend Saturday night in Dalton with his wife and family. "But that doesn't mean it hasn't affected us. It's tough to see people suffering so much in a place I've spent so much of my life."
No matter what ultimately happens with his baseball career, Boggs intends to spend the rest of his life — at least during the offseason — with Lele in Dalton.
"We started dating when I was a junior and she was a freshman," he said. "She liked me when I was terrible in sports and ugly, so I knew I'd found a great one."
That it basically took him 10 years to tie the knot proves that on at least some fronts Boggs learned long ago to be ready to go, but not too ready.

Mark was hired as a graphic artist but quickly moved to sports, where he oversaw prep football for a time, won the "Pick' em" box in 1985 and took over the UTC basketball beat the following year. By 1990, he was ...

7 ways to keep back pain at bay
Stop back pain in its tracks with these easy tips from the U.S. National Athletic Trainers' Association:
What you wouldn't give to be able to tend to your garden again! But bending over flowerbeds is not an option with that nagging back pain you've been experiencing. Could surgery be your golden ticket to pain-free days?
What a pain
Back pain is a problem that affects about eight in 10 Americans at some point, according to the National Pain Foundation. It may be brought on by aging, physical inactivity, obesity, a back injury—even the way you sit.
Most cases of back pain gradually improve on their own and may only require regular doses of over-the-counter pain relievers.
Physical therapy is often one of the first lines of defense for back pain. If it doesn't help, pain-reducing injections, such as cortisone shots, may be given to decrease inflammation in your back. Your healthcare provider may also recommend complementary therapies like acupuncture, deep-tissue massage and chiropractic care.
Surgery may be an option if other treatments fail. Surgery is usually reserved for pain caused by pinched nerves, spinal cord compression and excessive movement between back bones. It may also be considered if your pain is accompanied by nerve damage, which can also cause numbness or tingling in your arms and legs and loss of bladder or bowel control.
A time to heal
Your healthcare provider may discuss one of the following options with you, depending on your condition:
Remember, surgery is usually a last resort. Talk with your healthcare provider about all your treatment options to get you back on track.

Kettle Falls High (5-3, 3-2) has already clinched a post-season berth, but there is nothing the Bulldogs would like more than to upset unbeaten and third-ranked Colfax (7-0, 5-0) in the Northeast 2B football finale for both teams Friday night in Kettle Falls. Game time is 7 p.m. Kettle Falls is coming off an easy 44-13 dismantling of Northeast 2B cellar-dweller Liberty (1-7, 0-5) last Friday night at Spangle. Colfax ran to a 26-0 lead over Springdale before easing off the throttle in a 58-36 road win last Friday. Fourth seed KettleŌĆÖs win at Liberty clinched a no.
The Chewelah cross-country teams wrapped up their 2011 regular season with a dual meet against Freeman last Tuesday at Chewelah Golf and Country Club. Both races were close, but in the team scoring, Freeman edged the Cougars in both the boys and girls races.
In the boy's race, Freeman won 22 to 33. FHS runners also placed first, second and third, with Austin Fish running a 17:56 to finish over two-minutes ahead of second place Max Axtell at 20:14.
Washington state voters will experience d├®j├Ā vu when they receive their ballots this year for the Nov. 8 election. Yet another initiative (I-1183) that would privatize liquor sales in Washington is up for debate.
The initiative made headlines last week when Costco Wholesale added another $8.9 million to support the initiative, bringing its total contributions to more than $22 million, according to the state Public Disclosure Commission.
With more than 10,000 Washington State homes in foreclosure in the first half of 2011 and another 76,400 homeowners seriously delinquent on their mortgages, the 2011 Washington Legislature passed the Foreclosure Fairness Act.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt know how it (act) has impacted local homeowners yet because itŌĆÖs a relatively new law,ŌĆØ says Tammy Ringer of the Northeast Washington Association of REALTORS┬«. ŌĆ£But hopefully, people in our area will begin to utilize it once they learn of the available resources it provides.ŌĆØ
Entering the final two weeks of their Northeast A League football schedule, Chewelah is in the league playoff picture after a victory over the Lakeside Eagles on Friday night.
The Cougars' defense had their best performance of the season, holding the Eagles to 207 yards total offense and stopping three Lakeside scoring threats inside the five-yard-line to preserve the 13-6 win at Nine Mile Falls.
ŌĆ£It was a good win for us on the road,ŌĆØ coach Jim Fisk said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll take it.ŌĆØ
The Kettle Falls High defense, run over one week earlier in a loss to Lind-Ritzville/Sprague, came up big against Mary Walker (Springdale) last Friday night in a 34-6 Northeast 2B football road win. Kettle Falls (4-3, 2-2) returned two first half interceptions for touchdowns and added a second half punt block return for another score. Kettle Falls put up 21 first quarter points on the Chargers (1-6, 1-4) and the first 34 of the game. ŌĆ£We came out firing on all cylinders on offense and our defense really stepped up and played well,ŌĆØ Corvino said of a must win.
The Colville High School FFA trap shooting team recently finished fourth out of 16 teams competing at a shoot in Odessa. In photo (left to right) are Jonas Mebes, Logan Butterfield, Luke Walker, Kashmir Howes, Clayton Brassfield and coach Howie Kubik. Howes came home with three first place medals: first in womenŌĆÖs, first in Buddy Shoot and first in MissinŌĆÖ Out. Brassfield was second in MissinŌĆÖ Out. The team practices every Thursday after school and travels periodically to shooting clubs around the FFA league.
It was a short drive down Highway 395 to the manicured fairways of the Chewelah Golf & Country Club last Tuesday for Colville HighŌĆÖs cross-country team. It took even less time than the drive for the local harriers to dispatch the over-matched Cougars. Under mostly sunny skies, the late afternoon confrontation between the Cougars and Indians provided little suspense, but was long on entertainment as both teams struggled to navigate the sparsely marked, tree-lined course.
After getting close to high-powered Wellpinit (3-0, 6-1) back in early September, Northport High faithful had every reason to believe that the second time around would be different and the Mustangs might pull off a monumental upset. Well, things were different. NHS (3-1, 4-3) had few answers for the Wellpinit running-back A.J. Kieffer and the high-octane RedskinsŌĆÖ offense. The result was a lopsided 58-18 loss to fourth-ranked Wellpinit in a key Northeast 1B North eight-man game at Northport last Friday night.
Quentin J. Porter, 85 of Colville, died Monday afternoon, Oct. 10, 2011 with his family at his side and in the comfort of Francis House Syracuse, where he had been since Sept. 29, 2011. Quentin finally lost his ten-year battle with cancer.
He was born on March 20, 1926 in Berlin, Wis,. The son of Harold A. and Helen Lubenetski Porter.
He married Jeanne Bodenback in 1949 in Wisconsin. Quentin and Jeanne were happily married for 40 years. Jeanne, ŌĆśMama JeanneŌĆÖ, passed away in 1989 after her own battle with cancer.

Tracey Westmoreland is still looking for a new home for Siberia, and he says it may just be in Brooklyn. He tells us that for six months hes been trying to lock down a former food-cart depot in Hells Kitchen, but the landlord has stalled the potential sale owing to insurance issues and plumbing disasters (as if bad plumbing ever stopped Siberia before!). Hes seriously considering two other places in midtown (he lives there, after all) and one in the East Village; however for the first time, he tells us, Brooklyn also seems like a strong possibility.
Westmoreland, who plays Mr. Blackjack in Michael Imperiolis upcoming movie The Hungry Ghosts, tells us he just met a developer who wants to fund a project there. I think Siberia would be more appropriate in Brooklyn, he says. What Siberia is should be in Brooklyn they just dont have anything like it. So where in Brooklyn? Maybe the neighborhood where the grime of Hells Kitchen seems to have moved? Im going to take a real hard look at Sunset Park, Westmoreland half-joked to us. You got porn and Siberia what else do you need? If you dont get porn and you dont get Siberia, I dont want to meet you. Brokers, we have this mans number.
