Classy Spurrier Ruins Kentucky's Unbeaten Campaign

Columbia, S.C.-Legendary college football coach Steve Spurrier has accomplished many things of significance at universities scattered throughout the southeastern United States. Nevertheless, as he continues to find new ways to compete at an institution which currently lacks many of the amenities he had while coaching at Florida, one thing remains constant, he still wins. His latest conquest of an SEC foe came Thursday evening at Williams-Brice Stadium when his #11 South Carolina Gamecocks ended #8 Kentucky’s undefeated season with a 38-23 victory. South Carolina defensive end Eric Norwood returned two fumbles for touchdowns and QB Chris Smelley threw for 261 yards and two more scores to stymie the Wildcats. Additionally, the Gamecocks’ vaunted defense, under the direction of coordinator Tyrone Nix, held Kentucky to 388 yards of total offense while their Heisman-candidate QB Andre Woodson was forced into three turnovers, each of which resulted in South Carolina points. Still, perhaps the most interesting event of the game occurred when the Gamecocks’ defense forced Kentucky to turn the ball over on downs. With the ‘Cocks taking over at the Wildcat 15, Spurrier elected to have Smelley take a knee rather than run up the score. On that note, Spurrier won with class which is something he’s getting better at all the while.

(Fillmore) The B-L-M is making some changes to the way Christmas tree permits are distributed at the Fillmore field office.

(SALT LAKE CITY) – The general elk hunt opens this weekend and the deer hunt officially opens Oct. 22. Kathy Jo Pollock of the Forest Service, reminds all hunters to be prepared for cold, snowy conditions in the mountains. She also said that most campgrounds in the state are open with no water available and no fees and that campers should pack their own trash out of forest lands.

She said that even though fire restrictions have been lifted on forest lands, hunters and campers should still be careful with fires.
Elsinore requires garages, not carports
Published on October 04, 2007 at 11:00AM
(ELSINORE) – Elsinore Town officials held a public hearing at Tuesday night’s council meeting concerning beautification issues. The council wants to pass an ordinance requiring garages be built on new homes and not carports for the purpose of avoiding a build up of household items that can be seen from the road. Several residents expressed concern that stick-built garages cost more than a carport on a modular home while other residents said that garages would add value to a home. Town officials said that new homes in subdivisions have garages and they want to make the ordinance uniform throughout the town. The ordinance will be decided on in future council meetings. The council also wants to update the land use code to conform with state code.
U.S. border gets funding boost
Published on October 04, 2007 at 10:20AM
(WASHINGTON D.C.) – The U.S. Senate has agreed to a provision that would provide a $3-billion boost to security along the U.S. border. Sen. Bob Bennett supported the measure to be included in the Fiscal Year 2008 Defense Appropriations Bill. He said the bill would accomplish several things including operational control of the U.S. border, four Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and 105 ground-based radar and camera towers. The funds would also be used to construct 300 miles of vehicle barriers and 700 miles of border fencing. The bill would also permanently end the catch-and-release policy by providing a total of 45,000 detention beds at the border and require mandatory detention of illegal immigrants who overstay their visa by 60 days. It would also reimburse local governments who choose to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in enforcing immigration laws. Bennett commented that the American people have asked Congress to make border security a priority and the $3-billion will be a step forward in that effort. The Senate voted last night (Wednesday) 95-1 for the provision.
Lost hunter found
Published on October 04, 2007 at 09:38AM
(FILLMORE) – A lost hunter was found Monday night east of Fillmore. 37-year old, Leon Huntsman of South Jordan, was hunting near the Bald Ridges area about 13 miles east of Fillmore when he became separated from his party. The East Millard Sheriff’s Posse was called out to find him. Searchers maintained contact with Huntsman by two-way radio and finally reached him. Authorities used trucks, off-highway vehicles and foot patrols to get to the man. Huntsman was not injured and was safely taken off the mountain.
