Let the Games begin.
We're rooting fervently for our talented Canadian athletes to make it to the podium at the Sochi Olympics, but, travel-wise, no town in the northeast embodies the spirit of the Winter Olympics like Lake Placid, N.Y., at the heart of the Adirondack Mountains and the only venue in North America to have held two snow Games, in 1932 and 1980.
Lake Placid radiates Olympic enthusiasm year-round, but the excitement is at its peak this month with Olympic flags flying on Main St. and local businesses holding promotions and contests.
Whiteface Lodge was conceived and built by Olympic luger Joe Barile, and today one of its employees, Chris Mazdzer, is in Sochi, set to compete in the same sport.
Whiteface Lodge is a handsome, luxurious all-suite resort overlooking downtown Lake Placid. It's not even 10 years old, but it has a classic, sturdy design of timber and fieldstone that recalls the Adirondack Great Camps.
The hotel looks rustic but it's thoroughly modern and fully loaded for vacation life. It has 94 spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom suites with designer kitchens, washer-dryers, flat-screen TVs in all the rooms, custom furniture and cabinetry, bathrooms with jet tubs, double vanities and heated floors, and private balconies with mountain views.
Whiteface Lodge is a top-drawer property, with spa life and dining to match. The signature treatment at The Spa at Whiteface Lodge is the Purifying Lodge Retreat featuring a body wrap and hot stone massage. KANU — it uses all-caps spelling for emphasis — is a stunning dining room with a magnificent fireplace and hand-hewn décor. The hearty American gastronomy includes pumpkin bisque with maple syrup and chanterelles and braised venison shank with red currant and white bean purée. The more casual KANU Lounge features such gourmet family fare as a cheddar burger and fries with truffle oil and crispy duck bacon.
Because of the home-away-from-home accommodations, Whiteface Lodge is ideal for families. Kids love the indoor-outdoor-heated pool and the nighttime family bonfires with s'mores. There are luxury lean-tos that I thought would be great hideouts for youngsters, but they're more used by grown-ups as unusual lounges for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres or cigars and cognac.
With competition-calibre facilities still in place for luge, bobsled, biathlon, Nordic skiing and downhill at Whiteface Mountain, visitors can strive to be citius, altius, fortius, (the Olympic motto — faster, higher, stronger — in Latin), even if they're only are weekend athletes.
One of my favourite excursions is the Ladies' 5-K Nordic trail at Mt. Van Hoevenberg, a pastoral five-kilometre trail through thick woods and up and down hills. I'm considerably more plodding than the world-class competitors whose ski time for five kilometres is an astounding 16 minutes or so, but it's a thrill to ski where champions have raced. Later, you can channel your inner hunter and simulate a biathlon with a coaching session at the target range. You'll be up close and personal with a 22-calibre rifle aiming for a bulls-eye that is 50 metres away.
The Olympic Skating Oval on Lake Placid's Main St. is open to the public and this is a delightful activity that is both exhilarating and social. You can skate laps to music and follow with hot chocolate.
You need a truly adventurous spirit to brave Lake Placid's bobsled ride. A driver and brakeman escort you on the five-passenger sled as you rocket down a narrow, icy track at almost 100 kilometres per hour for an explosive 50 seconds. It is so fast that you actually feel a G-force tug, but world champions reach a daunting 140 km/h. You won't catch me bobsledding, thank you very much, but I always love a visit to the Lake Placid Olympic Museum on Main St. That's a lot tamer.
I've saved the best-known for last. Whiteface Mountain Ski Center was an ideal Olympic venue in 1980 because it has the longest vertical drop in eastern North America (1,018 metres/3,340 feet), easily fulfilling the 914-metre (3,000-foot) minimum requirement for some of the ski competitions. (Whiteface wasn't part of the 1932 action because the first Olympic downhill events were the combined men's and women's races at the 1936 Games in Garmisch, Germany.)
At Whitefacem you can conquer the steep, mogul trails that were part of the Games 20-plus years ago, but now you'll be gliding up on high-speed lifts. Even with those rugged expert runs, Whiteface maintains a strong folksy, family side. In recent years, it has opened Lookout Mountain and expanded its glades. The hot new trail through the trees is the black-diamond Rand's Last Stand. Whiteface also has added considerable snow-making and grooming systems.
Lake Placid is a two-hour drive from Montreal. Take Highway 15 south and New York Highway 87 south to Exit 34.
Whiteface Lodge: 800-523-3387, thewhitefacelodge.com; 7 Whiteface Inn Lane, Lake Placid, N.Y.
Price: Deluxe one-bedroom suite with living room, kitchen and balcony/patio, starts at approximately $375 U.S. on Sun.-Thurs., or $554 on Fri.-Sat., for two to four people, incl. breakfast, indoor-outdoor pool, valet parking, Internet, bonfires with s'mores, skating, movie theatre, fitness centre, game room, bowling alley.

A rumour is going around school that by looking at a TV screen at 12:00 AM on a rainy night, the face of your soulmate will be revealed.
But is that all? A chain of murders appears to be connected to the rumour, and you and your team of Persona users must brave the mysterious TV world before another schoolmate dies!
Beyond exploring dungeons, engaging in intense battles, combining Personas to make new ones, and creating new weapons exists a normal high school life of making friends and taking part in classes and part time jobs.
The way you manage and integrate your activities within each day will determine your progress through the game. Each decision impacts on your fate – from who you hang out with, to when you decide to enter a dungeon and how far in you choose you go…
With an emphasis on developing bonds in the goal to solve the mysterious murders, strong friendships are key to your success. Directly control teammates in battle, earn greater party support for combat, and master individual Social Links to unlock your friends' true potential.
Win friends and influence people in Persona 4
Just as each character's personality is double-edged in Persona 4, exclusive to PlayStation 2, so is the gameplay; you'll spend half of your time exploring dungeons and battling weird and wonderful creatures, and the other half doing homework, making friends and looking for part-time jobs. It is this contrast and the way the two extremes blend together that makes it such an original title.
You play the new kid in town, forced to leave the city to live with your uncle and young cousin in a small Japanese town called Inaba. Your uncle is a detective investigating the mysterious death of a TV newsreader and as you settle into school life, one of your new friends disappears under similarly perplexing circumstances, so you and two fellow students decide to get to the bottom of the riddle.
Roughly half of the game is spent in Inaba, be it at school, at home or in the shopping district. You spend your time relaxing with friends, studying for your exams, working part-time and attending extra-curricular clubs; this might sound whimsical, but it's essential for strengthening your character and his relationships. The game's intriguing story and excellent dialogue keep these sections moving along nicely.
At any time you can visit Junes department store, where climbing into a certain television set transports you to a sinister world where the kidnapped are imprisoned by their alter-egos. Each monster is the embodiment of negative emotions and a hollow toy bear called Teddie is your hapless guide.
Battles are turn based, with particular emphasis on each enemy's weakness, be it fire, ice, wind, poison or a physical attack. Sometimes after a battle, you'll get a Persona card, giving you access to new attacks and spells. These can be fused together to create new Personas, and this is where building friendships is crucial - when you fuse a Persona, it will receive an experience bonus if you have nurtured a relevant friendship. Physically strong Personas, for example, will grow stronger still if you have joined a sports team and made friends with one of your teammates.
Persona 4 for PS2 is a stylish role-playing game, with great graphics and music, an accessible and flexible battle system and a memorable storyline. Unmistakably Japanese, it's a treat for RPG fans and a potential cult classic.

Long ago, a king by the name of Karlamac ruled Roawia. His rule was just and fair, but also one of the sword. Roawia was still a young unity, and many rebellions and brigands still needed to be crushed. The sword that King Karlamac wielded into many battles imposed fear on all his enemies, and lifted the spirits of all who were his allies.
Some say that the sword was given to the King by the gods themselves, and that it had true supernatural powers, but there was also a catch: The sword could only be possessed by the one to whom it is given by its previous owner. Anyone else who has tried to wield this weapon has often had its mythical powers fail them at a most crucial time.
Duke Wirklich Nervig of Lenfald, the most recent owner of the sword, fearing its power, hid it in a remote location for safe keeping. Unable to produce an heir, he failed to disclose its location before his death, and the sword has been lost for nearly 100 years now. Since its master never gifted it to a successor, the power of the sword is believed to belong to anyone who can find it. Many treasure-seekers and those who yearn to utilize the powerful weapon still search for it to this day, but it may never be found, for it is rumored that the Duke left many false clues and planted counterfeit swords throughout the land in the hope that the sword would remain hidden forever. There are questions that perhaps none can answer about it. Where is it hidden and what does it look like? Does it still posses the magic that once made it the most powerful weapon in Roawia?
In his continuing effort to unite the land, the King has offered a handsome reward for anyone who can procure the true sword and will turn it over to him. He plans to use it to squash the outlaws in the south, as the Loreesi and Lenfels have been encountering fierce resistance despite their best efforts. Of course the outlaws, hearing this news, are eager to locate the sword for themselves. Some would sell out for the treasure reward, but others with greater aspirations see it as a way to seize the power for their own dubious uses.
Who will prevail? Will the sword be returned to the King, or will it be used for a power-grab?
Build 2 MOCs – The first showing your character gathering clues about the whereabouts of the sword, and the second showing him/her finding its location (though there is no way to tell if it is the true sword…..yet!)
Each participant will be awarded 5 points for entering. Each faction's finalist will receive a 5 point bonus.
The overall winner (who will also be deemed to have located the true sword) will have two options to choose from: Either give the sword to the king, and receive another additional 5 points, or take your chances and try to wield the sword for yourself. If the second option is chosen, a 6-sided die will be rolled to determine the outcome. If the roll is a 5 or a 6, you are able to use the sword's power and will be awarded 10 points. If the roll is a 3 or a 4, the sword has lost its magic, and you will be awarded 0 points. If the roll is a 1 or a 2, it means your greed has betrayed you, and the sword fails you at a key moment, resulting in a loss of 10 points.
The creation must include your LCC character and your faction standard and/or colors. There are no size or base limitations.
Submit your entries in this thread, using thumbnails and/or links.
The GC2 finalist selection is up to the particular faction. Such as a inter-faction vote, or a FO selection. etc...
Deadline: August 12th, 11:59pm PST
This thread is for posting submissions only!

In the video below, photographer Braden Summers tells how he came to believe that there is a dearth of romantic imagery for same-sex couples. He wants to remedy that, and by looking at the examples on the following pages, he seems to have the chops for the task.
Summers set up a Kickstarter page, and now the project is on. Here's what he says:
"ALL LOVE IS EQUAL is a photography campaign that illustrates one perspective on what love and romance within the gay community could look like in a future, more accepting time. The images focus on culturally diverse couples and locations to emphasize the dream; the aspiration of finding acceptance for gay and lesbian couples globally. From the perspective of the media and high-end advertising, it might appear that the western world is largely pushing for gay marriage equality while other countries fight to prevent couples from ending up in jail after a public exchange of affection. This campaign goes beyond the current fundamental differences of what gay rights look like in different cultures and attempts to normalize the presence of gay and lesbian couples everywhere. There is a lack of hopeful, romantic, dreamy visuals to communicate the love that exists in this community. The photographs will be relatable to the general public by being images of exaggerated beauty first, and illustrations of gay and lesbian couples second; work you won't want to look away from."

Who is he?
Aleš is a strong man who is quite unfathomable due to two opposing components in his first name. The first, masculine and irascible, excitable and passionate; comes from the association of the karmic 1 and 8, and will be accentuated if the day or the month of birth is a 1st, 8th, 10th, 17th, 19th, 26th, 28th, January or August, or if his life Path Number is 1 or 8. The other tendency makes him nervous, private, internalized, shy or even inhibited; coming from the association of the 7 and 9, especially if his day or month of birth falls on a 7th, 16th or 25th of the month; in July, or if he has a life Path Number of 7. Individualistic and personal, he is a man of duty - perhaps more so in his intentions than in real life, however. He has difficulty making himself understood, his reactions are often unpredictable and he could just as easily react in an untimely or drastic manner as become withdrawn in a more or less painful sensitivity. Dialogue, tact and diplomacy are not his strong points even though his intuition is very well developed... He is generally an active person but his tendency to go to extremes can mean that his lifestyle is subject to change. Either he puts all his heart and soul into the task at hand, working relentlessly until he has finished - or he takes refuge in total inactivity. As a child, Aleš tries to impose himself and will spend a lot of time and energy to earn the respect of those around him. Parents, avoid rubbing him up the wrong way and encourage him to communicate. A star pupil, Aleš ´s education could be a roaring success (predominance of the 7), unless his need for independence, versatility and impatience lead him to become a self-taught genius (predominance of the 1 or 8).
What does he like?
He likes to shine, to be noticed, admired and set an example for others; and he won´t hesitate to resort to his natural theatrical talents in order to achieve these ends. Aleš could appear to be a rather original, eccentric or marginal character. If his intellectual nature is prevalent, he will be fond of astrology, psychology, ethnology and spirituality... or will profess reactionary opinions - or contrarily - revolutionary views; with an apparently cynical, critical and scathing attitude. In matters of the heart, he is ardently passionate (but not particularly sentimental) and generous, but only on the condition that his authority is never challenged! He also expects his partner to pay him constant attention and could reveal himself to be as jealous as a jilted skunk!

What does he do?
Obviously such a multi-faceted individual has multiple possibilities. If he was born on an 8th, 17th or 26th, or has a life Path Number of 8; he will be more inclined to choose an occupation in liaison with the notions of power and money (management, finance, accounting, banking, insurance, police, sport, industry, business...), whereas if he was born on the 7th, 16th, 25th or has a life Path Number of 7, he will be more likely to choose one of the technical or specialized fields (engineer, mechanics, information technology) or scientific research; otherwise, the paranormal domain could equally fascinate him, because he has strong intuitive abilities which could easily become clairvoyance (magnetic healer...).

Envestnet Inc. (ENV) announced a wealth management platform deal on Monday that will bring online aggregated reporting to the affiliated advisors of Symetra Investment Services, a unit of Symetra Financial Corp. (SYA).
Chicago-based Envestnet, which was already providing SIS with a wealth management platform, will now implement a fully integrated platform for the independent broker-dealer that includes a more complete view of client wealth. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Many independent broker-dealers are hindered by outdated technology. Through Envestnet's platform, Symetra is able to give their 300 advisors access to a sophisticated wealth management apparatus," said James Lumberg, Envestnet co-founder and managing director, in a statement. "By adding aggregated reporting to the mix, which provides an overall view of a client's wealth and allows the advisor to create a holistic financial plan, SIS has empowered their advisors to offer advice that conforms to current best practices."
In a phone interview, Lumberg added that his firm will now provide Symetra Investment Services' advisors with a view of their clients' brokerage accounts, 401(k)s, 529s and other data on Envestnet's wealth management platform. The ability to see held-away client assets is a business-building opportunity because it lets advisors know what assets might be moved over to them, he said.
"Now we can collect daily information no matter where it's custodied and provide a single window," Lumberg said. "For the advisor, it's important to have a view of the client's complete wealth picture, and as they build the investment relationship they can see the assets that are held away from them."
As for Symetra Investment Services, the aggregated reporting technology that Envestnet brings to SIS gives the Bellevue, Wash.-based firm a competitive edge in the IBD space, said Richard Moran, SIS president, in a phone interview. Envestnet impressed him for the speed and stability of its data aggregation processes combined with its wealth management platform, he said.
Added Tom Kowalczyk, SIS' vice president of advisory services: "The IDB space traditionally has a separation between wealth management and performance reporting. What we're bringing to the table with Envestnet allows us to combine those two things in one portal."
The SIS deal is one in a string of agreements that Envestnet has completed this year. On Sept. 5, Envestnet announced two strategic partnerships, one with Stellar Technology Solutions for a web-based philanthropic enterprise system, and another with Fund Evaluation Group for a hedge fund research alliance.
Envestnet co-founder and CEO Jud Bergman was named to Investment Advisor magazine's IA 25. The company is scheduled to report third-quarter 2012 earnings this Thursday.

UPPER PROVIDENCE - All the Oktoberfests have come and gone, but surely you still have the time and the thirst for a few more beers, right?
Well, raise your frosty mug because it's about to floweth over once more - with dark beer, light beer, smooth beer, flavored beer, seasonal beer, bold beer, local beer, global beer and more.
The Valley Forge Beer Fest is back in town.
And timing this beer blast well after the autumnal harvest is precisely what production company Starfish Junction Productions had in mind.
'October is a very busy time with the whole Oktoberfest feel, so we wanted to hold our event at a time of year when people were looking for fun things to do and gather with their friends pre-holiday and were in a good mood and ready to try some great beer,' noted Starfish Junction's Lynda Calimano.
For a $40 advance online ticket ($50 at the door) connoisseurs of the magic that can happen when hops and barley commingle get a chance to truly savor the vibrancy of the artisanal beer scene.
With more than 70 breweries tapping into dozens of spirited varieties, there will be something to please all beer, lager, stout and ale aficionados during two sessions at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center on Saturday.
Starfish Junction first tweaked its award-winning Philly Craft Beer Festival for the suburban market last December, when the inaugural Valley Forge Beer Fest treated Expo audiences to the handiwork of more than 60 indie and world-renowned breweries.
Since then, the expectations-defying event has grown even more, Calimano said.
'The response from the breweries, brewery reps and distributors has been absolutely amazing,' Calimano said. 'The brewery list is an evolving one. Some breweries that couldn't make it last year are able to make it this year, or possibly a distributor picks up one or two new brands that are now distributed in Pennsylvania and they can now come to the show.'
Setting the iconic Valley Forge theme in motion again, 'George Washington' will be back entertaining crowds and offering up tastings of Yards Brewing Company's specialty Ales of the Revolution, based on bona fide recipes of the Revolutionary War.
'He went the whole route in being authentic,' Calimano said. 'He didn't drink out of a plastic tasting cup but drank out of a pewter cup because that's what he would have used back in his time.'
The event will raise money for the Committee to Benefit the Children, a Philadelphia-based charity that provides resources for treatment, care and family support for area kids with cancer, leukemia and serious blood disorders.
Ticket holders who bring a non-perishable food item to donate to the children's food drive will receive a free raffle ticket.
Serving up suds for sampling will be breweries from all over the state, the country and the world, including: Appalachian Beer Co.; Arcadia Ales; Ballast Point; Bar Harbor; Boulder Beer; Boxcar Brewing; Carlsberg; Clown Shoes; Coronado Springs; Corsedonk; Cotrell; Crabbie's; Dark Horse; DuClaw; East Coast Beer Co.; Evil Genius; Evolution; Finch's; Frankenmuth; Free Will Brewing Co.; Goose Island; Grimbergen; Gritty McDuff's; House of Shandy; Ithaca Brewing Co.; John Henry; Kona Brewing; Kronenbourg; Lake Front Brewing; Lancaster Brewing; Lavery; Leffe; Long Trail Brewing; McKenzie's Brew House; Mission Brewing; Naked Brewing; Neshaminy Creek; Old Forge; Red Hook; Rock Bottom Brewery; Rogue; Round Guys Brewing Co.; Sam Adams; Shocktop; Sly Fox; Spire Mountain; Starr Hill; Stella; Stone Brewing; Susquehanna Brewing Co.; Tetley's; The Shed; Thomas Creek; Three Heads; TommyKnocker; Tournay; Troegs; Twisted Pine; Uinta; Victory; Widmer Brothers; Williamsburg Ale Werks; Woodchuck and Yards Brewing Company.

The Ape Escape monkeys have taken over television broadcasting stations around the globe and are beaming non-stop silliness into our TVs. Our only hope from induced lethargy in front of the idiot box, are veteran monkey-catchers Satoru and Sayaka.
Packed with more content than ever before, Ape Escape 3 has a full 28 stages across 136 areas and more mini games than you can shake a banana at. Satoru and Sayaka each have a new wardrobe of seven super-powered costumes to choose from - use Sayaka's Cowgirl outfit to dispense hot leaden justice from your twin six-shooters, or give the monkeys a medieval kicking with Satoru's knight armour.
This time though there is one major difference to the monkeys you're dealing with - they get angry and counter-attack! These apes aren't immune to frustration, and they aren't afraid to show it. They'll snatch your gadgets, they'll provoke you into battle and they'll attack. They may even capture you for a change!

SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Department of Corrections has paid over $60 million in overtime costs for the second year in a row.
The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises reports Monday that officials predicted last spring that overtime costs would drop in the budget year that ended June 30.
Authorities are blaming unanticipated retirements by correctional guards and a rise in payroll costs tied to a contract agreement signed 18 months ago.
Corrections Spokesman Tom Shaer says hours worked last year dropped 12 percent.
Anders Lindall is spokesman for the guards' union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. He says Corrections has "too many inmates and not enough staff."
The agency has struggled with overtime as its employment rolls has shrunk and inmate population grown.

Redskins rout Shelby 49-3 in Division 6 semifinal
Big plays have lifted the Clinton High School football team to new heights.
Now the Redskins will have their chance on the state's biggest stage.
Putting together a complete effort on both sides of the ball, the Redskins made sure their historic run would continue all the way to Detroit as they roared to a 49-3 victory over the Shelby Tigers in the Division 6 state semifinal Saturday at frigid, windy Bob White Stadium on the campus of Middleville Thornapple-Kellogg High School.
Clinton (13-0) will play in the state championship game for the first time in school history Friday at Ford Field. The Redskins will look to unseat three-time defending state champion Ithaca (13-0).
The Redskins scored 35 points in the first half and was never seriously threatened by Shelby (11-2), which saw its season end in the state semifinals for the second straight year. Clinton only ran 36 offensive plays, but forced four turnovers and held the Tigers to 187 total yards of offense.
"It's a great day to be a Redskin, and I couldn't be more proud of the group we're taking to play for a state championship," Clinton coach Scott McNitt said. "We're just trying to win the game, and to win by that margin is phenomenal. We have a fantastic opportunity next weekend, and it's great for the kids."
It is a far cry from last year, when the Redskins went 9-0 in the regular season, only to fall in the opening round of the playoffs. That loss served as a motivator for this season.
"It was with us all summer, and we didn't want to out that way again," Clinton senior quarterback T.J. Baker said. "We really feel like we're playing for those seniors last year and playing for the community. This is what we've worked for, and it's a great feeling."
Baker made the first big play, intercepting Shelby quarterback Andy Fortier on the third play of the game and returning it 24 yards for a touchdown.
The Tigers appeared to answer when David Guerra returned the kickoff for a touchdown, but the play was called back after block in the back and personal foul penalties on Shelby. The Tigers gambled on fourth-and-1 from their own 17-yard line, but Forrest Courtright was hit for no gain. Four plays later, Brett Tschirhart capped the drive with a 4-yard touchdown run, giving Clinton a 13-0 lead.
Shelby moved the ball into Clinton territory on the ensuing drive, but was again stopped on fourth down. The Redskins moved the ball to midfield, but appeared to be forced to punt early in the second quarter. However, Mathew Sexton kept the ball on a fake punt and raced 46 yards to the end zone.
Fortier booted a 30-yard field goal to get Shelby on the board on the next possession, but Clinton answered again. Baker faked a handoff, broke two tackles and motored 54 yards for a touchdown.
With 1:05 left in the half, Sexton intercepted Fortier and ran it back 28 yards for another score, making it 35-3. The Redskins capped the half by forcing another turnover when Fortier completed a 22-yard pass to Dylan Unger, who lost the ball during a hook-and-ladder attempt.
"We put (Shelby) into the wind in the first quarter, and the interception set the tone," McNitt said. "They couldn't get out of the wind, and we were able to get some long runs on offense. Getting two defensive touchdowns was huge for us."
Two plays into the third quarter, Sexton busted loose for a 66-yard touchdown run, making it 42-3 and forcing the running clock rule. Clinton added one more score early in the fourth quarter when Tschirhart ran in a 7-yard touchdown.
Keagan Ward sealed the game midway through the fourth quarter when he sacked Fortier and recovered a fumble.
"I don't know how to explain it other than it's a great feeling, and I'm happy to be a Redskin," Clinton senior captain Nate Kaszuba said. "(Defensive coordinator Jeremy Fielder) put in a lot of preparation, and we knew what we had to do and executed it. When we took their run game out of the question, we felt the game was in our favor."
Collin Poore ran 13 times for 90 yards for the Redskins, while Sexton had 112 yards on his two carries. Baker completed his only pass of the game for six yards to Poore and finished with 78 yards on seven carries. Tschirhart had seven carries for 28 yards and two touchdowns.
"It was rough way to finish the season last year, and our seniors didn't want to go out like that," McNitt said. "The guys have matured over the year, and we're playing our best football now. We know we're facing a highly-touted team next week."
Ithaca owns the nation's longest current win streak at 55 games. The Yellowjackets held on to beat Montrose 21-20 in the other semifinal.

GIVE a dog a bad name and it tends to stick. Please allow me to defend responsible dog owners from those irresponsible owners as we all tend to get tarred with the same brush.
I am out every day in Philips Park, Whitefield, with my Labrador and always clear up after him and use the waste bins which are regularly emptied by the council.
I obviously meet those not so responsible and never tire of challenging them and giving them a complimentary poo bag.
Each Saturday I and others go to dog training near to the new fire station in Bury and the instructor often does a spot check to make sure we are in possession of dog waste bags.
This week is Crufts week and those of us who believe we are responsible dog owners ought to stand up and challenge other owners more often as it is obviously the owner's fault and not their dog's.
We can email the dog warden service at email@example.com.

Are you in the affected area? Send us images and video, but please stay safe.
(CNN) -- Thousands of people have been evacuated from China's resort city of Sanya, in Hainan Province, as Typhoon Haiyan continued to wreak havoc in south Asia Monday morning.
The storm, which has already claimed up to 10,000 lives in the Philippines, moved through the South China Sea over the weekend toward southern China, hitting Vietnam.
Government agencies have advised for extra vigilance if traveling to Vietnam or China, with the storm expected to continue for the next few days, moving northeast into Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in China.
Philippines recovery
Flights and airports have started to reopen in the Philippines. "All airports except Tacloban have resumed normal operations already," tweeted the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
The airport at Tacloban, the most badly affected town in the Philippines, has started to receive and send limited commercial flights too, according to the CAA.
The storm, a category five as it moved over the Philippines with gusts of up to 235 miles per hour, shut down at least a dozen airports and hundreds of flights, crippling the travel industry in the central part of the country.
China and Vietnam prepare
It is not expected to affect Vietnam or China as badly, though preparations are underway to limit damage as what is now a category one storm arrives.
Some 17,300 passengers have been affected by canceled or delayed flights at Sanya Phoenix Airport in Sanya on the resort island of Hainan in southern China, according to state-run news agency Xinhua. Thousands more have been evacuated, the agency said.
But the airport has stated that by the end of Monday, November 11, all stranded fliers will have departed.
In Vietnam, flights were canceled in the central region around Thua Thien in Hue Province yesterday, while 86 domestic flights from Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air and Jetstar Pacific to at least 10 central airports were canceled, according to local news reports.
All international flights to the affected region were also canceled.
Typhoon Haiyan
Referred to locally as Typhoon Yolanda, the monster storm is one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded.
Some of the Philippine's most popular islands for tourists, including Boracay and Bohol, were in the storm's projected path, and tourists and residents were evacuated.
A number of governments warned against travel to certain areas of the Philippines because of the typhoon, including Britain, Australia and Canada.
READ: One of strongest storms ever hits central Philippines
The U.S. Embassy in Manila issued an emergency message to U.S. citizens, advising them to monitor the storm on TV, radio or websites including PAGASA (the government's weather forecasting agency) or the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.
Undersecretary Abigail Valte, deputy presidential spokeswoman in the Philippines, had this advice: "Follow instructions of the local authorities especially when they give the signal to evacuate to higher ground/designated evacuation areas.
"Limit unnecessary travel and stay inside your hotel. Weather updates and advisories are constantly disseminated by @dost_pagasa."
The Official Gazette posted a list of emergency hotlines.
Twitter hashtags #RescuePH and #ReliefPH were set up to share information or tweet calls for help.
A number of government agencies were also active on Twitter: @dswdserves, @ndrrmc_opcen and @govph.
For flight cancellations and safe sea travels, the @DOTCPhilippines and @CAAP_Operations Twitter accounts were regularly tweeting updates, flood and traffic updates in Metro Manila were posted on @MMDA.
Philippine airlines, airports resume duties
As airports reopen, airlines are resuming operations to affected areas.
"PAL/PALex passengers with flights to typhoon-affected areas may rebook their flights within the next 30 days from the original flight date, with rebooking fees and fare difference waived," said a statement from Philippine Airlines (PAL).
"Travelers affected by these cancellations may rebook their flights for travel within 30 days, free of charge," said Cebu pacific. "They may also reroute to the nearest alternate airport, or opt for full refund or full travel fund."
"Passengers are advised to rebook without penalties for travel within 30 days from original flight," said Tigerair Philippines. "They are also requested to call Tigerair Philippines hotline at 798-44-88 for further details."
AirAsia/AirAsia Zest is offering a free flight within 14 days on the same route, subject to availability; full credit, valid for 90 days; or a refund, said a post on its Facebook page.
The AirAsia hotline in the Philippines is 02-742-2742, Mondays-Sundays, 7 a.m.-11p.m. Travelers can also inquire about their flights by messaging the AirAsia Twitter feed, @askairasia.

The public utility has jumped on the machine data bandwagon to maximize internal productivity.
Denver Water has harnessed the power of machine data to find potential system errors and fix them before users even realize something is amiss.
For the past nine months, the public water utility has been combing through activity logs of its internal applications looking for trends that indicate problems are on the horizon. Log data is displayed in various graphical formats as opposed to an unstructured jumble of text and code, enabling IT leaders to make more informed and proactive decisions.
Denver Water is using a data solution from Splunk, an IT operational intelligence provider.
Instead of being reactive to technical errors and help desk tickets, the utility's IT team now can quickly see failure trends and address them ahead of time. In addition to troubleshooting, machine data is also helping the utility get a better picture of how their applications are being used by employees.
For example, the utility has an internal program called E-Map that provides extensive GIS information to users. By using machine data, Denver Water can now pinpoint the volume of people using it and what functions are being used the most, so it can prioritize upgrades to the application.
Jonathan Spitze, SCRUM team lead for Denver Water's Geospatial Asset Management team, said machine data gives him the ability to very quickly grab and synthesize trends. As an added bonus, the data is presented in a way that it can be shared with and understood by nontechnical colleagues.
According to Henri van den Bulk, enterprise architect with Denver Water, gauging whether machine data analysis is having a positive impact is easier said than done. He explained that the ultimate goal is to have higher internal customer satisfaction across the board by increasing the stability of all of the utility's IT systems.
And while van den Bulk felt Denver Water's IT team had improved in that area, he said there's no quantifiable number to point to in order to illustrate success. He said the primary measuring stick for effectiveness is the fact that IT can have better conversations with users.
Spitze agreed. He said the two main things he looks at are whether IT is improving the ability of its internal customer base to use applications when they need to and whether downtime is reduced when something goes wrong.
"What I want to see is a downward trend," Spitze said. "That I'm getting to a point where our users don't experience outages ... errors or failures, that they're having a good experience every time they get into these applications."
Looking ahead, Denver Water plans to expand its use of machine data. In addition to how it's applied in an IT setting, the utility is considering blending machine and business transaction data. So if a business event is happening, machine data may help provide more insight into an issue.
"I think we're in the day and age now that we can start making sense of large volumes of data and it becomes useful," van den Bulk said. "Data becomes a very powerful thing to help plan and make changes. Don't be afraid of it, embrace it."

We have 6 weeks from the 15th July to send in further comments to be taken into account by the appeal hearing. As it is now over two weeks since the 15th, this means we have less than 4 weeks.
Readers will be aware that the same applicant has recently submitted a second application to turn the building into a Mosque. While to most people this is a second try at the first application with a few adjustments, the blog understands that in the eyes of the law it seen as a completely new, different and unrelated application. However this appeal is not about this new second application, it is going back to the first application which was refused by the Council back in December last year and asking for this decision to be overturned. The fact they are appealing one decision while putting in another application for pretty much the same thing makes it seem a bit complicated though.
If you can remember back to the original application, which was turned down because of the traffic and parking problems it would cause (before any talk of a Green Mosque prohibiting the use of cars), this is the refused application they are appealing against.
Instructions for sending in further comments are contained in the letter. Time to get writing...

The Yukon River Quest: The Longest Canoe and Kayak Race in the World
By Sonja Stark
"There are strange things done in the midnight sun,
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales,
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see…
Was the night on the Marge of Lake Labarge,
I cremated Sam McGee."
My Yukon river guide finishes the poem with a snicker and a sneer. Goosebumps ripple up and down my bare arms.
My first time in the Northern province of Yukon and I'm scared out of my wits thanks to a haunting poem by Canadian bard Robert Service. His words are legendary in a province where shadows linger longer and creatures stir in the wild.
My guide shares creepy stories of severed toes while we comb the shoreline for thirsty paddlers. One by one the paddlers arrive gliding atop a pristine and deep Lake Lebarge.
They are on a journey of a lifetime — one that began in the capital city of Whitehorse this morning and travels north to Dawson City.
This is the same route used during the Klondike Gold Rush Centennial years between 1896 and 1900. The lake has a reputation of being rough and choppy but today it's pleasant and serene.
My boatman cuts the engine so we can drift closer to a Voyager canoe (a canoe with six or more people) with nine thirsty gals huffing and puffing.
Their ages range from the early twenties to the late fifties. Only seven hours into the race and they wear a look of depletion. We glide close enough to offer steaming cups of hot coffee and cookies for a needed sugar rush.
My travel guide hauls a vat of brew around on his sightseeing tour especially for this occasion. The girls' gratitude is measured in silence as they gulp the power boost. Paddlers are expected to maintain a stroke rate of 75 per minute or fall behind quickly. This is not a race for novices.
Paddling Hard
At 460 miles the Yukon River Quest is the longest canoe and kayak race in the world. Except for two mandatory rest stops contestants race non-stop down the mighty Yukon River.
Only the strongest and some might say the most foolhardy enter this race. Like scaling Mount Everest or swimming the English Channel, it's one of the toughest adventure marathon events on record.
"It's not the prize money or the competition that makes you do this. It's the human spirit that drives you," says Yukoner champion Elizabeth Bosely.
Held annually during the last week of June (around the summer solstice) teams and solos from as far away as Australia, Europe and South America push themselves just because they can.
Mother Nature tests their endurance with cold, wet and windy nights and blinding sunshine. Blisters, burns, mosquito bites and extreme fatigue are all part of the drama.
It's not unusual to hear stories of broken bones, hypothermia and hallucinations. Some even imagine seeing bleeding trees and pulsating rocks as they struggle to stay awake.
Stash Like a Squirrel
Every year the race grows bigger and better with fewer scratches and fiercer competition. To improve the odds of surviving, much less winning, several canoes and kayaks are modified for the round-the-clock race.
Pizza slices, sandwiches and oatmeal bars are stored in plastic bags and stuck to boat walls. Others run plastic tubes around the seats so they can sip electrolytes without needing to stop.
Many run a string from bow to stern with collapsible cups with snack items inside. The true diehards refuse to break to use the bush — instead they rig up a bathroom system under the seats.
First aid kits are mandatory as are life vests with whistles, river maps and waterproof flashlights. The better organized you are, the better your chances of going the distance.
In the land of black bear and herds of Porcupine Caribou, mental preparation is also important. It helps to know the environment as well as a group of local First Nation aborigines from Saskatchewan. They excel at knowing the territory and its rich history and their own culture. A few of them have quite literally grown up in a canoe.
A Spectator Sport
The best part about this race is you don't need to be a participant to be a part of it. Spectators and support teams travel in campers along a lonely Klondike highway, partly a two-lane gravel road that runs in tandem with the river.
Along its length you'll spot fox, bear, wolverines and scenic views of spruce, poplar and alder trees. Paddlers appear so small from the cliffs above that binoculars and zoom lens are needed to identify who's in the lead.
Outside of one or two campgrounds, there are few places to refuel and even fewer overnight accommodations until you reach Dawson City. The unspoiled beauty of the North refuses to be tamed by big-box retailers and chain hotels.
Carmacks and the Roaring Rapids
A third of the way to Dawson City is the Carmacks rest area. Paddlers are required to check in and recuperate for seven hours. This is the perfect place to cheer on the brave mushers and tent under faint stars. The temporary watering hole offers up clean toilets, warm showers, hot food and volunteer back massages.
The Five Finger Rapids are just up the road from Carmacks with a pedestrian trail leading to an overview of the churning danger. It's midnight by the time I reach Five Finger Rapids but there's still plenty of action because the sun never sets this close to the Arctic Circle.
First, the Texan Voyageur canoe takes in too much water on the descent and eventually capsizes near Minto. The First Nations canoe team, hot on their heels, does the honorable thing and stops to help. This earns them the 'Spirit of the Yukon' award with the Texans placing first with a time of 40 hours and 52 minutes.
Next, a solo kayaker from California barely escapes the same fate but finishes third with a time of 44 hours and 24 minutes. Finally, a couple from Maine bobs and weaves the rushing waters like a pinball machine. It's clear they've done this before.
But getting past Five Fingers Rapids doesn't mean that the end is in sight. There are three more checkpoints at Fort Selkirk, Kirkman Creek and Sixty Mile – areas that are virtually inaccessible by road with little civilization.
Friends, family and spectators wave goodbye for the last time at Carmacks and wait out the remaining hours at the finish point in rowdy Dawson City.
Civilization but not Civility
Dawson City depicts a wild and adventuresome time in early American and Canadian history. Not only is it the perfect destination to finish a race of hardship and hope, but paddlers are guaranteed a speedy recovery with old fashion hospitality and a bounty of booze.
The Eldorado Hotel is where I bunk for the evening but not before I toss back a few 'Yukon Gold' pints at a brothel-turned-B&B called Bombay Peggy's, followed by a ghoulish concoction at the infamous Sourdough Saloon.
The Sourdough saloon is jammed with leather-clad motorcycle gangs and grisly bartenders with long beards.
A long line of patrons grows anxious for the 9 o'clock hour. That's when a mummified human toe makes its nightly appearance. You read correctly: a bona-fide severed appendage from a bootlegger who gave it up posthumously many moons ago is the main attraction.
The story goes that the owner of the bar found the toe floating in formaldehyde in the basement of an old house he bought. He decided to use the toe as a gimmick to sell drinks, kind-of like the worm-in-Tequila thing.
But unlike the worm that acts like an aphrodisiac, the brown shriveled-up toe, sinking in a shot of Yukon Jack, repels many and makes them gag and squirm.
Letting the toe touch your lips while swigging guarantees you entry to a growing group of fearless in the Sourtoe Cocktail Club. Even those who just paddled 460 miles find this a challenging feat. I close my eyes and think of the words of Robert Service:
It's the great, big, broad land way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.
Destination Yukon
More than 100 years after the Klondike gold rush, Dawson City is just as colorful as
it was in 1898. The rustic charm is preserved with wooden boardwalks, dusty roads and turn-of-the-century buildings.
Guides in period costume offer tours of the Robert Service cabin, the Jack London Center and the Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall. Dancing with Can-Can girls and lessons in panning for gold add to the mystique and magic of Dawson City.

Four Steps to Letting Your Students Surprise You
Very few of my students—or even my colleagues—knew about my long-planned three-week trip to Nepal, where I would teach and train teachers. But about a month before the big journey, I decided it was time to share with students what I was planning.
I wanted to learn what questions they had, so that I could take their curiosity (along with notes and postcards) along with me. But they had a lot to teach me before I set off for Nepal.
When I showed students a photo of the school I'd be visiting in rural Bageshwori, Nepal, several were enthralled. They had lots of questions. After learning there was no electricity or running water, and seeing the differences between our physical learning environment and the Nepali students', two of my girls decided they wanted to help.
By lunchtime, these two students had recruited two more girls to help. They asked if they could collect donations from the 3rd grade classes, and I said yes, they could try. They gathered and decorated small boxes for students to put change in.
Here came the first lesson I learned before my journey:
• Speaking of the Common Core ... Give Students Time to Talk
• 10 Truths About Teaching and Running
• What Teachers Need to Know About Action Research
1) Nurture the best in your students.
I've worked in Title I schools for 13 of my 16 years of teaching. I know what kids are capable of and that surprises abound. Yet I still approached this whole project with ideas founded in deficit-model thinking. "They are students who receive free lunch, I can't ask them to raise money … ." Yet they had the idea and will within themselves. Burning brightly. My support was all they needed.
It made me wonder, "How many other missed chances have there been for me to nurture the best of who my kids are?"
We need to spend as much time trying to strengthen our students' passions as we do helping them overcome challenges and weaknesses. This necessitates taking time to learn what those passions are.
2) Provide emotional and material support.
A couple days later—emboldened by some success—the students asked if they could go to their former 2nd grade teachers to spread news of the project, and I said yes. But, worried about where this might go, I asked, "Do you know how to explain what you're doing?" The teachers were unaware of my travel plans, so the entire context would need to be explained. Were the students up to the challenge?
Apparently, they decided they were not yet ready. They made a poster with the picture of the Nepalese school and their fundraising goal. They visited the first classroom, but realized they needed to add a map to the presentation after a teacher questioned them about the location of Nepal.
On and on it went, and I looked on as their initial shyness and hesitation turned into a well-rehearsed plea for donations that spread throughout our school. But it wasn't just "practice makes perfect." Their appeals were buoyed by their growing knowledge about Nepal, including Skype sessions with the principal of the Nepalese school (who did not know of their plans).
Sure, I asked questions from time to time. And I helped connect them with the resources to learn more about their project. But all of that was just scaffolding.
3) Step back and let students take charge.
They will amaze you. "Wait time" is not just a strategy for responses to questions in class—give them the tools, maybe some guiding questions or redirection, but not the answers. In this case, the girls' ideas were far more innovative and in-depth than I could have imagined.
One student decided to set up a table at our school's "cultural-awareness night," asking me if it would be OK before doing so. I said it probably would—then she proceeded to inform me that she should ask the assistant principal. I agreed, nearly as a dare. Go ahead, ask him. And of course, she did.
The week before I departed, the students collaborated with a group of 5th graders who filmed them for the school's morning news show. One of the girls had scripted a skit for the four of them to encourage peers to save money for the school in Nepal rather than spending it on snacks or needless items. Each had a role to play, highlighted on the script in a certain color—astounding evidence of these 3rd graders' knack for foresight.
Keep in mind that all of this happened during lunchtime and in the mornings before school began. Students brainstormed while they ate, and worked as soon as they were done. It was completely their deal.
4) Most importantly, hush your inner skeptic.
Often, during the three weeks of this project, I wanted desperately to caution my students that they might not achieve their goal of raising $200, or that "x" might not be a great idea. I am so glad I didn't. I was nervous—this was risk-taking for me—but oh, the rewards of shunning deficit-model thinking and releasing control.
My students raised $248. Enough to sponsor the Nepali school's entire prekindergarten program for the year, giving a priceless head start to students who could truly benefit. Their money was also enough to purchase supplies for hands-on learning for kindergartners.
And they sent more than money: Nepalese children were transfixed by a poster covered with labeled photos and messages of friendship from their American peers.
I exhort you to seek out what brings your students joy. Ask yourself what you are doing to nurture those passions. Be willing to risk shifting instruction toward your students' strengths at least as much as toward their weaknesses. Chances are, there will be a lot of change. Far more than $248 worth!

The Village Waste Water facilities are a 24 hour per day 7 day per week operation. When a sewer line, a pump station, or a treatment plant go into service, it is essential to the public health and safety that the systems continue to function without interruption.
The mission of this department is to collect and provide proper treatment of the Village wastewater for the lowest practical costs to the residents in a prudent, reasonable and responsible manner.
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 established a far reaching set of national programs to address water pollution. Our three treatment plants address the national agenda to protect the nations waterways.
Each plant has a state permit regulating its use. We are given standards for our effluent and we are permitted to handle a specific amount of flow at each facility.
We also have a State and Federal permit for sludge disposal that sets specific regulations on how our sludge is to be made safe prior to disposal and specific regulations on how this sludge is disposed. All of our sludge is applied to farm fields where it is used as a crop nutrient to grow corn.

It has been my experience that family-friendly games do not get the attention they deserve. As much of the video game world is looked on from the outside as a world relating to children, from the inside it's just the opposite. The gaming world often views itself as an adult playground, where children's games are often the subject of much sneering within the gaming community. Family-oriented games are largely ignored by the game review sites, and it's a real travesty because they miss out on really great titles intended for the younger sect such as Cars Mater-National.
Based on the Disney-Pixar hit film Cars, the game goes beyond the story from the movie and sees Lightning McQueen returning to Radiator Springs for the Mater-National, an international race that is to be hosted in the once trodden-down town. And, as the name suggests, the race is founded and hosted by the rusty old tow truck himself, the irreplaceable Mater. You play through most of the game as racecar hotshot Lighting, but just like everyone else, you have to qualify for the Mater-National. The qualifying system basically works with a three tiered system based on flags. You earn flags by participating in small races and mini-games. Earn enough flags, and you can participate in regional races, win the regional race, and you are able to unlock a new location and a round of the Mater-National. It's a very tight system, and actually involves quite a bit of depth. Each stage you unlock brings new challenges, mini-games, personalities, and experiences, so you never know what you'll find as you continue on your quest for glory. The game uses an open world system (much like that of the Test Drive series), and you find different races and events to participate in that are unique to each stage. And each event gets you that much closer to Mater-National glory. But just because you've unlocked all the locations and won the Mater-National, don't think it's over there. If you want to truly beat the game, you have to go back, and beat all the little local races and mini-games to earn all 350 flags.
The game itself is not all that hard, and you can beat the game in its entirety in about six hours. But that's not really the point. The game itself is great fun, especially for kids who would like to explore the automotive genre, and aren't quite ready for the Forza series. Another strength of this game lies in how many different ways you can race. There are relay racing modes, tag racing modes, there's even a fuel-saving racing mode. So if you know a young one who is itching to play a racing game, then this title right here fits the bill perfectly.
In addition to the story mode, there's also an arcade mode that lets you pick your favorite Cars characters and race against either the CPU or your friends. This mode is fairly simplistic, but it definitely allows for ample opportunity to play with family and friends. Not to mention it's the only real opportunity in the game to play as characters other then Lighting or Mater. Among the playable characters available include movie favorites such as Flo, Ramone, and the Doc. Each character feature specific characteristics and paint jobs to customize.
Graphics-wise, this game is pretty well set. The look of it resembles the CG of the movie and is very well done. The characters all look like they did in the movie, and feature very smooth detailing and effects. Environments, however, are the ones that really shine in this game. The various landscapes, mostly feature a Midwestern feel come vibrantly to life in vast color and detail. Some of the tracks in this game are among the best I've ever seen, as far as their overall look.

Prep rallies, holds off Greenwich in lacrosse
Recommended Video:
As one of Connecticut's elite lacrosse programs, Fairfield Prep has often made its loudest statements in the postseason. But, for a change, the Jesuits believed they made one Thursday, in only their sixth game of the season.
Having breezed through their first four games against in-state teams, outscoring opponents 68-14, the Jesuits were eager to test themselves against one of the FCIAC's premier squads at Fairfield University.
They came away feeling pretty good, too.
Riding a string of six unanswered goals into the fourth quarter, the Jesuits surged past, and ultimately held off, Greenwich 12-11 on Thursday at University Field in a non-conference game.
"This was kind of a statement game for us," Jesuits coach Chris Smalkais said. "We haven't really been challenged in our league. We looked forward to this game."
With their only loss against Duxbury, Mass., the Jesuits improved to 5-1 on the year. Greenwich suffered its first loss to fall to 6-1.
"It was definitely a test for us. I think `statement game' is a good way to put it," said Prep senior Burke Smith, who registered a game-high four goals.
After Smith scored to give Prep its largest lead, 11-7 with 7:09 remaining, the Jesuits fended off a late push by Greenwich to notch their fourth straight win. The Cardinals used Michael Sullivan's prowess in the faceoff circle to score three straight goals over a span of 90 seconds to climb within 11-10.
"One of the things we hang our hat on is we're never out of a game," Greenwich coach Scott Bulkley said. "I tip my hat to Prep. They played very hard."
Greenwich led 7-5 with 4:35 left in the third on Kyle Foote's goal, but Smith answered for the Jesuits only 11 seconds later. Junior Pat Lambert evened the score with three minutes remaining and Chris Brown put the Jesuits ahead for the first time since the first half, 8-7.
Smith said the Jesuits' energy keyed the comeback.
"We never let down," he said.
Brown recorded three goals for the Jesuits, John Edmonds had two and Cameron Harris and Austin Sims each scored once.
Four straight faceoff wins by Sullivan turned the momentum in Greenwich's favor late, but a turnover with 38.2 seconds remaining proved costly. Harris' fourth assist of the game set up Smith's goal with 27.5 seconds left, making it 12-10.
"You get into a rhythm like that," Bulkley said of the faceoff wins. "He did a good job; it was just a little too much too late."
Greenwich also fell just short of beating Prep last year, losing 7-6 to the Jesuits at home. The Jesuits went on to win both the SCC and Class L titles.
"You challenge your athletes to compete," Smalkais said. "We played with great compete today. That is something that you can't teach."
Decker Curran led Greenwich with three goals. James Paradise and Luke Finneran scored two apiece. Four others had one each.
The Cardinals trailed 2-0 in the first quarter before reeling off three straight goals to grab their first lead. They led by two goals before Harris brought Prep within 4-3 with 21 seconds left in the first half.
