Lodwick held something else while up on the stage, too–the late Paul Robbins’ trademark Scottish beret. In fact, just after the U.S. Team notched their silver at the Whistler Olympic Park, Lodwick told Robbins’ son DC that he felt Robbins there with him.

The lauded ski journalist was a fixture at Nordic events especially, and would surely have been there in person if he could. Paul Robbins had been the most noted Nordic sports writer for the past 30 years. He died two years ago from a ; heart attack.

To honor him, several friends including ; Tom Kelly, VP of Communications at USSA and Luke Bodensteiner, former cross country skier and current VP of USSA Athletics gathered after the Nordic Team event and found a quiet , tree-lined spot overlooking the toughest part of the cross country track where they buried Robbins’ ashes. Son DC and long-time friend, NBC correspondant Peter Graves said some words about Paul before everyone took turns covering the ashes with snow.

“Gravy (Peter Graves) said back in ‘97 that they (he and Paul) made a promise that one or the other would bring the ashes back to the Olympics if they couldn’t be there,” DC said. “Gravy said he was making good on the promise.”

On the other hand, Beck does actually say some things that aren’t so incendiary and even nasty. ;

Glenn Beck’s political movement, called the 912 Project is celebrating it’s first anniversary today. ;

The 912 Project stands for 9 principles and 12 values, which Glenn Beck believes to be the principles and values upon which America was founded.

According to the mission statement from the 912 Project’s website, the project was founded for Americans looking to take back control of the country. ;

No matter what you think of Glenn Beck and his political agenda, there are some valid points made in his 912 project.

The 6th principle states, “I have a right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.” ; Based upon Thomas Jefferson’s quote regarding everyone’s right to choose a “vocation” they so choose it strikes a chord on many levels. ; You are free to do anything you want in America and the ceiling is unlimited. But, if you fall on your face it’s on you to pull yourself up by the bootstraps. ; How many of us failed at doing something we loved only to pull ourselves up. ;

Principle number 8 states, “It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.” Followed by this is a quote from George Washington, which states that “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.”

People on the left may criticize Beck’s 912 Project for being too laden with religious overtones, but ultimately there is something for every American to take from the 912 Project.

It didn’t take long for the rest of Hollywood to follow, with Corey Haim ’s former costars adding their own statements of remembrance to the tributes that have already poured in.

Vivica A. Fox, Nicole Eggert and Todd Bridges are among the latest celebs to react to Haim’s death. Here’s what they had to say:

• Vivica A. Fox, Shark City costar: “We will miss this wonderfully talented young man, it was a pleasure to have worked with him, may God bless his family at this most difficult time.”

• Nicole Eggert, Blown Away costar and ex-girlfriend: “I am very saddened at the news of Corey’s death and that he was unable to overcome the demons he so deeply struggled with. It is tragic and my heart and well wishes go out to his family. May he finally be in peace.”

• Todd Bridges, The Two Coreys guest star: “Corey Haim was a good friend of mine and he will be missed. Too many people are dying way too young and it’s sad because of the loved ones who are left behind to understand what happened and to feel the loss. I hope he’s in a better place.”

• Brooke McCarter and Billy Worth, The Lost Boys costars: “We love Corey Haim. He had a spirit that was beautiful and he had a lot of love to share with his friends. It’s a real sad day. Once a lost boy always a lost boy. Corey Haim had an amazing heart. He got caught up in Hollywood. He was an A-caliber actor. Everyone cared about him. Our thoughts and prayers are out to his friends and family and his mom, Judy Haim. Let’s all remember the Corey Haim they all loved.”

• Greg Goldman, The Two Coreys creator: “The last time I spoke to Corey was two months ago and he was in good spirits. He was very optimistic, he was helping his mom, who was sick, and was very optimistic that she would be OK and was very optimistic about his career. He was a positive guy. He had a very infectious laugh…Anyone who was close with Corey Haim knew he battled with a lot of severe demons through the years…It was out biggest fear that it would just become too much and he would fall off for good…He wanted to do anything and everything. His passion was acting—in front of the camera or on stage—he wanted to do it.”

• Troy Searer, The Two Coreys executive producer: “I was deeply saddened by the news of Corey’s passing. At his core he was a kind, generous and extremely talented guy. Unfortunately, his immeasurable heart and potential seemed to be in constant battle with his demons. He was a caring son and friend and he will be missed very much.”

•A&E, The Two Coreys network: “We are saddened by the tragic loss of Corey Haim who we had the pleasure to work with on the series The Two Coreys. Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.”

However, the filming won’t start until August because there are only two weeks a year that the Full Throttle Saloon is open, and those are during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, North Dakota.

The show of course focuses on the Full Throttle Saloon, which just happens to be the the world’s largest biker bar. The Full Throttle is also the self-proclaimed “America’s #1 Blue Collar Biker Bar.” I actually haven’t been there, so I can’t really vouch for that title.

The Full Throttle is ; run by Michael Ballard and wife Angie. Angie is in charge of a rather ;burlesque stage showthat is named Flaunt. Flaunt draws in huge crowds. Of course Full Throttle Saloon also features a wrestling ring, mechanical bull, tattoo parlor and several restaurants and stores.

The Full Throttle Saloon also has cabins for rent on the property according to their website. ;The next season is sure to be great. Here is a clip below featuring the girls of Flaunt who recieve huge tips!

PS, Smoking is Mandatory at the Full Throttle Saloon.

Rocking a leather jacket, jeans, a burgundy shirt and his signature specs, Gokey’s gravelly soul voice was warmly received as he sang the peppy country/pop tune about the power of positive thinking. “I can be whatever I want to be/ My best days are ahead of me,” he crooned over a twanging pedal-steel riff. “I’ve got sunsets to witness, dreams to dance with/ And beaches to walk on and lovers to kiss.”

Asked why he went country for his first album, Gokey — who tried to get an invite from Ellen DeGeneres to dance on her show after his performance — said it was suggested by one of last year’s mentors, country icon Randy Travis. “When I did ‘Jesus Take the Wheel,’ he came up to me after … and he said, ‘Have you ever considered doing country?’ And I started telling him how country influenced me when I was younger … and he said, ‘Well, you need to do country. The amount of soul and passion you put into it, the fans would embrace you and love you.’ “

After spending most of his “Idol” run being tagged as “the guy with the tragedy” — a reference to the death of his young wife Sophia four weeks before his audition — Gokey said he wanted to come out with a first single that showed how much hope “Idol” gave him. “I just found out the writer of the song lost his wife too and he wrote this song a few months after she passed away. And without me knowing it, I picked it up, I recorded it and put it on radio. … It’s an anthem for me. I’m excited about life again.”

Ever since he was eliminated from “Idol” last season, Gokey has been working tirelessly to make his dreams a reality. Over the summer, he began meeting with Nashville record execs and announced plans to reinvent himself as a country singer, telling MTV News that “country music kind of houses the message that I like … and it carries a lot of meaning for me. So I never thought about it before, but I could see myself doing it, if we could just get the twang right.”

In September, he officially signed with RCA Nashville (he was the last of season eight’s final four to land a record deal) and began work on his debut album. In November, during a phone interview with hometown radio station FM 106.1, he unveiled the first song from the record, a ballad called “It’s Only,” which was written by Lady Antebellum’s Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley and produced by Mark Bright, who had previously worked with Gokey’s fellow “Idol” alum Carrie Underwood.

Gokey described the song as his favorite off the album. “It has such a touching lyric. It’s so beautiful,” he said. “I love all the songs that appear on my CD, but this one … when I sing this song, a passion comes out of me. … I feel it when I sing it.”

He performed at the venerable Grand Ole Opry and shot a video for “Best Days,” which replaced “It’s Only” as the first single from his record. The song began climbing country radio’s top 40 chart, and just last month, it was announced that Gokey would serve as the opening act on Sugarland’s spring tour. The country makeover, it would seem, is complete.

In the meantime, he continues to work with Sophia’s Heart, the charitable organization he established in honor of his late wife. In addition to using funds to provide relief to the victims of January’s Haitian earthquake, the organization plans to launch a Nashville-based music and arts program this year.

Born in Missouri, Joel was educated at Washington and Lee University in Virginia, graduating smart enough to move with his wife, Connie, to St. Paul in 1961. He managed the stockyards in South St. Paul for many years at a time when cattle, hogs and sheep were trucked to the Twin Cities from as far away as Montana. Ducks were plentiful then, too, and soon Joel was hanging out with brothers Boots and Tony Roszak of South St. Paul, also Dave Grannis and Butch Rifkin.

Each, like Joel, and like Bud and Harvey and Dave, was a duck hunter, and therefore needed to lead a duck hunter’s life.

I first met Joel 20 year ago. A candid guy, he outright told me he had recently suffered a spell of depression, an affliction that had cost him too many October mornings in a duck blind, a depressing thought in itself. "But I’m OK now," he said.

Thus began a friendship that over time saw us toting shotguns and decoys and dirty Labradors to marshes near and far. Cool to hunt with, and adventuresome, Joel found as much pleasure in his hunting mates as in the birds he sought.

"The number of ducks I might shoot in a given day was never that big a deal to me," Joel said Thursday. "I always said you should only be allowed to kill as many ducks as you’re willing to clean yourself. That would take care of the guys who want to shoot them all."

Over the years, Joel has been famous for buying shotguns he didn’t need. One summer, at Game Fair, he slipped away from Connie long enough to throw down money on a new Benelli, an acquisition he intended not to broadcast widely. Or, really, at all.

But his cover was blown when over the fair’s many loudspeakers the public address announcer said, "Joel Bennett, you can pick up your new shotgun at Will Call on your way home."

Writ large in wild country, Gordon MacQuarrie’s "Old Duck Hunter" stories lay bare people’s passions and no less their idiosyncrasies, particularly when read with the sense of wonder and humor that inspired their author.
