CWAC, city seek public feedback
The Citizens Wastewater Advisory Committee (CWAC) is in the process of evaluating alternatives and plans for Blaine�s wastewater plant, and announced they are seeking feedback from the community and have invited a Lummi representative to sit on the committee.
CWAC, which consists of more than 10 local residents with broad backgrounds, was appointed by the Blaine city council on May 12 to examine and evaluate long term wastewater disposal alternatives. They met for the fifth time Tuesday evening to review a consultant/city staff-generated list of 13 alternatives for Blaine�s wastewater plant. According to public works director Steve Banham, CWAC will next evaluate these alternatives and others, using self-generated objectives and guiding principles, including safeguarding the beneficial uses of marine waters, projecting and enhancing community livability, meeting other non-technical community objectives, meeting growth and development requirements in a timely fashion and ensuring the highest constructability, operability, and cost-efficiency.
At its next meeting, CWAC hopes to shorten that list to three to five alternatives that they will prioritize for city council consideration, Banham said. The committee will then recommend one preferred alternative to city council to advance to the facility planning stage.
�Now that CWAC has been provided with alternatives that now must be further evaluated, the committee and city officials are encouraging the public to review the information that they are receiving, as well as the progress of their work, by visiting the city of Blaine website at www.cityofblaine.com, or by contacting the public works department at 332-8311,� Banham said.
representative to sit on committee
Willie Jones of the Lummi Nation attended Tuesday�s meeting and congratulated CWAC on the process they were working through to explore wastewater alternatives.
�I am not sitting here waiting for you to make a mistake. I�d like to eventually be a participant and we want to partner with you,� he said.�We have concerns about water, land and air. We want to work jointly with you and we like this process.�
CWAC unanimously invited a Lummi representative to sit with them during their continued evaluation process. �I am delighted to have Lummi representation on the committee,� Banham said. �The city has been working to involve all stakeholders in the plant replacement discussion and the Lummi Nation is clearly a significant stakeholder.�
Jones said he wants to see the process continued and a solution to the plant problem created to ensure that future generations can enjoy what he has enjoyed.
�I used to shellfish when I was a kid. I would dive off the dock at 12,� he said of how he enjoyed the area. �This to me is my home, just like it�s your home. I want to see it (the process) continued, because if we don�t, our kids aren�t going to have anything.�
Jones, who was on the Tribal Council in 2000 when native remains were disrupted during construction at the current wastewater plant, said he has spent a lot of time thinking about that.
�I spent a lot of time at the beginning wondering what happened,� he said. �But we worked through that on a government to government relationship, and the city is committed to getting out of that site with the Lummi.�
Once the city of Blaine leaves its current wastewater site, the Lummi tribe plans to build a cultural and heritage center there. �This to me is homeland,� Jones said. �If they move, we�re willing to help them (city of Blaine) lobby.�
Banham said the city agrees with the tribal center. �The city is committed to seeing the existing wastewater plant site relocated so that this area can be used as a cultural heritage center,� he said.
Currently, the Lummi Nation and the city of Blaine are working together to secure funding for both the plant replacement and cultural heritage center.
�Good communication with the Lummi Nation during the early planning stages will be important to the success of our process,� Banham said.
plan, funding
Steve Banham said the wastewater comprehensive plan is still set to be completed some time in October of 2003. The city is working with CH2M Hill, a large Denver-based engineering and construction firm specializing in water-wastewater issues, to establish a tech team.
�Their size and expertise in addressing the problems and difficulties phase makes a lot of sense,� Banham said, when asked why the city is working with CH2M Hill on the project.
This is also a good time to finish the comprehensive plan, Banham said, as the Cain Water Act Centennial Fund is accepting applications on February 1.
�The financial impact of this project is not yet fully known,� Banham said. �And we are not ready to release the possible locations of plant alternatives.�
Banham said it�s important to go after all monetary opportunities and come up with a plan that has widespread community support. �Once we pick a solution, we have to work through the financial end.�
Banham said by 2008-2009, the city�s sewer issue should be solved. �I would like to think better than that, but a five-year plan would be more realistic. This committee is comprised of people from a wide variety of backgrounds and we want to involve the community in this. This is exciting.�
The CWAC committee consists of the following local residents: Frank Bresnan, Pam Christianson, Dave Fakkema, Jeff Green, Trevor Hoskins, Jan Hrutfiord, Jim Jorgensen, Geoff Menzies, Brad O'Neill, and Ken Raithel.
CWAC�s next scheduled will be held on Wednesday, September 10, from 5:30 - 9 p.m. at Blaine city hall to finalize their work and make a recommendation to the Blaine city council.

Medicine, Science and Culture (MeSC) Research Interest Group
Starts: 25 January 2012
Wednesday 2-4pm, 25 January 2012, Glamorgan Building (room 0.85)
The Medicine, Science and Culture Research Interest Group present:
Thinking through the social study of science and technology: science and knowledge as culture
This session will be dedicated to thinking through the social study of science and technology, with a particular emphasis on the notion of science and knowledge as culture. It will be of interest to those whose research interests lie broadly within the fields of medicine, science, or STS. The session will proceed with two informal presentations, both of which are outlined below, followed by an open debate involving all attendees. The debate will concern both the presentations and what events members would like to be organised in the coming academic year.
Our speakers for this session are Tiago Ribeiro Duarte and Dr. Mara Miele:
Tiago Ribeiro Duarte (PhD student, Cardiff)
Studies of Expertise and Experience: Considering Culture
In this presentation I will examine how the notion of culture is linked to the theoretical framework of 'Studies of Expertise and Experience'. I will discuss the concept of 'forms of life', particularly how it can be thought through as interacting with culture, together with a consideration of tacit knowledge which essentially constitutes the 'glue' that holds a form of life together. Drawing on my own research on expertise in climate change, I will also illustrate how these concepts can be applied in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) research.
Dr. Mara Miele (Senior Fellow, Cardiff University)
In Search of Animals' Emotions
Cohen argues that "no single object or body has meaning . . . without reference to the other forces, intensities, affects, and directions to which it is conjoined and within which it is always in the process of becoming something other, something new" (Medieval Identity, 76). He suggests that animals, humans, and objects must be appraised together as they form various, temporary clusters of active beings. In this presentation, drawing on material semiotics/ ANT insights and sensibilities, I will look at one such temporary cluster of animal scientists and sheep brought together in a specific experiment and a set of animal science practices dedicated to explore sheep emotions in an animal science farm/laboratory of INRA in Clermont Ferrand, France, that took place in 2009-2010.
All are welcome and there is no need to register. If you require any more information, please contact Gareth Thomas (email@example.com) or Rebecca Dimond (firstname.lastname@example.com).

I have been using Clarins HydraQuench Cream SPF 15 for a couple of weeks after getting to the end of my latest tube of Caudalie Vinoperfect Day Perfecting Cream. I couldn't find any reviews of this SPF cream version before buying, so I think it might be a fairly new product on the market.
So I decided not to repurchase Caudalie Vinoperfect Day Perfecting Cream because on its own, it isn't quite moisturising enough for my skin during the cold weather... its main selling point being for brightening the skin, rather than moisturising very dry skin like mine. When my skin is especially dry from lack of sleep or not eating enough fruit and veg, I can really notice the way my skin crinkles up on the tops of my cheeks when I laugh... not good!! And I'm scared that if that keeps happening, those crinkly lines will become permanent. I like laughing too much to stop, so my only hope is to keep my skin hydrated.
Here's what Clarins says about the cream:
"A super-moisturizing cream for normal to dry skin. Katafray bark and Sorbier tree bud ensure ideal skin moisture balance while SPF 15 filters protect skin from the harmful effects of the sun.
Expertise 3P. Protects skin from the harmful effects of today's pollution. Allergy tested, non-comedogenic."
This Clarins HydraQuench cream is really rich (the first ingredient after water is shea butter). I ordered it online, and was kind of expecting it to be a gel formulation because of the product name... you know... "hydra" and "quench". But it's a proper thick, white cream. The smell and texture reminds me of the old Pond's creams that my granny used to use when I was a kid... it's very comforting, both physically and psychologically :-). This is what the cream looks like:
Being so rich and having an SPF, it can be a little greasy sometimes. It doesn't totally absorb (but then none of my heavy-duty moisturisers ever do... it's just something I've come to accept). Sometimes when I've slathered it on a little too heavily, my face feels a bit sticky and unfresh... like that feeling you get in humid climates when you feel like you need to shower again immediately after stepping out of the front door. So I've just got to learn to control how much I put on!
I wasn't expecting to see any noticeable difference in my skin... after all, a rich moisturiser is a rich moisturiser. But my skin does actually feel noticeable softer. I noticed it when washing my face just days after I started using the cream.
The pot is thick glass, so it's really heavy, and totally impractical for travelling. But hey, that just gives me an excuse for using my MUJI travel-sized containers.
Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase. I feel like a sophisticated French woman when I'm using it, and it leaves my skin baby soft. It's a little greasy sometimes but that's nothing a bit of finishing powder can't sort out.
The ingredients in Clarins HydraQuench Cream SPF 15 are:
Aqua, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnate, Glycerin, Ethyhexyl Salicylate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Dimethicone, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Octocrylene, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate / Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Squalane, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Cetearyl Glucoside, Parfum, Caprylyl Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Polysorbate 60, Disodium EDTA, Tromethamine, Butylene Glycol, Tocopherol, Cedrelopsis Grevei Bark Extract, Thermus Thermophillus Ferment, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Lapsana Communis Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Pyrus Sorbus Bud Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, Sorbitan Isostearate, Biosaccharide Gum-4, Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sorbic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Pentylene Glycol, Potassium Sorbate, BHT.
The HydraQuench range has several other variants of moisturisers, including a lighter SPF lotion, and an even richer cream (which doesn't have SPF). I bought mine from FeelUnique.com for £28.80 (for a 50ml pot) where I buy most of my skincare products because it's so much cheaper than anywhere else due to the company shipping from Jersey and thus not having to pay the usual taxes. Plus there are always substantial discount codes floating around. I know it sounds like I'm plugging the website, but I'm not, honestly! I just like their prices!

Kip Moore will return to the studio next week to finish work on the follow up to his hit debut album, Up All Night. The first single from that new album will hit the airwaves this fall. While Kip thinks there are a few more unreleased hits left on Up All Night , he's ready to get this new music to the fans now.
"It's time to jump to a new one," Kip says. "There's just a new body of work that I've been sitting on that I'm just itching for people to hear."
He goes on to describe the new music as a "make you roll down your windows and hit the gas as hard as you can kinda record." Kip hasn't lost his passion for telling a story or conveying emotion in his lyrics though.
"Even the songs that make you wanna hit the gas, I think you're still gonna feel something in your soul and your chest," Kip explains. "It's just a more intense record. It's just a little bit different."
Before he hits the studio, Kip continues his opening spot on Toby Keith 's Hammer Down tour this weekend with shows in New York, Virginia and Connecticut.

Economic Trends
Employment Growth Slows in Ohio
Employment in Ohio has grown 2.7 percent since the start of the recovery (June 2009 to March 2013). Over the same period, national employment grew almost a percentage point more (3.5 percent). Elsewhere in the District, employment in West Virginia and Pennsylvania grew at rates similar to that seen in Ohio, 2.6 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. By contrast, Kentucky saw growth above the national average at 4.1 percent. Among the other 50 states, North Dakota saw the largest employment gain—driven by a boom in energy production—followed by Utah and Texas, while New Mexico and Missouri experienced employment declines.
Ohio's employment growth to this point in the recovery puts it close to the middle of the distribution (30th). However, its relative ranking has changed over the course of the recovery. In August 2010, Ohio ranked 25th among the 50 states. Over the ensuing year and a half, its ranking improved, drifting up into the top 15 by the beginning of 2012. But since June 2012, Ohio's ranking has moved back toward the middle of the distribution.
In part, this movement reflects the weak employment growth Ohio has experienced in the past year. In the twelve-month period ending in March 2013, Ohio's employment was essentially unchanged, growing a meager 0.1 percent. This represented the third-worst growth rate among the 50 states. (The worst growth rate occurred in another Fourth District state, Pennsylvania.) At the same time, national employment grew 1.4 percent, with the 10th and 90th percentiles of the state-employment change distribution continuing to experience employment gains. This pushed Ohio away from the higher-growth states and toward the lower-growth states.
One key difference between Ohio and the U.S. during this period relates to changes in construction employment. Nationally, construction employment grew about 2.9 percent in the twelve months ending in March 2013. By contrast, construction employment fell about 5.2 percent in Ohio over the same period. It's important to point out, however, that until the third quarter of last year, year-over-year changes in construction employment had been far stronger in Ohio than in the U.S. throughout the recovery. Additionally, since December 2007, when the recession began, the cumulative change in construction employment in the two geographies has been about the same. Nevertheless, construction has clearly contributed negatively to Ohio's overall employment change in the last year.
While construction is an obvious source of underperformance for Ohio—having grown nationally but not statewide—several other sectors show the same pattern, albeit less dramatically. These sectors include retail trade, transportation and utilities, leisure and hospitality, and information. Collectively, these industries account for about one-third of Ohio's employment.
In the cases of government and businesses services, where the direction of growth was the same—negative for the former and positive for the latter—Ohio still saw either larger declines or less growth than the associated national industry. Manufacturing and mining were the two sectors that grew noticeably more in Ohio over this period. These industries collectively account for about 13 percent of Ohio's employment, though mining represents a small fraction of this total—about 2 percent, or 0.25 percent of Ohio's overall employment.

KEENE, N.H. • There's a question that Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman loves to pop out from time to time as he campaigns across New Hampshire: "What language do you want me to answer in?"
Tossing out a sentence or two in Mandarin gives Barack Obama's former U.S. ambassador to China an opportunity to showcase his foreign policy credentials and position himself as a cultural bridge-builder. Not to come off as too highbrow, though, Huntsman also adopts a fake New Hampshire accent at times and joshes about eating lobster rolls for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Both ploys hint at the challenge facing Huntsman, whose defining moment in the Republican presidential race could be here, and now, in the towns and villages of New Hampshire.
After sitting out the Iowa caucuses and investing all his hopes in this state, Huntsman has struggled to find a voice that resonates with voters. The former Utah governor is proud to announce that he's no longer "the margin-of-error candidate" — in New Hampshire, at least. But he'll need to do far better than that for his campaign to continue after Tuesday's primary.
"Who's that guy?" a factory worker asked as Huntsman visited a plant in Keene recently.
The answer — Huntsman's biography — is complex.
He's an Obama administration appointee running in a GOP primary where candidates have been working to out-conservative one another.
He's a Mormon navigating a process typically dominated by evangelicals.
He's a Harley-riding, high-school dropout who frequents taco stands, and the son of a billionaire businessman.
Here's what Huntsman, 51, would have you know, first and foremost: "I can get elected."
To expand on that, he offers himself as the "sane Republican," one offering "good, center-right, pragmatic, problem-solving leadership."
"We've got to have someone who isn't being teed up by the establishment," Huntsman says in dismissing his GOP rivals.
Huntsman has never been traditional or establishment.
Growing up in Utah, he ditched the end of high school to play with local jazz and rock bands.
Those years ended when he briefly enrolled at the University of Utah through a program that granted him admission without a high school diploma. He then went on a Mormon mission to Taiwan, where he learned to speak Mandarin.
He later attended the University of Pennsylvania and graduated with a degree in political science, then entered public service and eventually worked for President Ronald Reagan and both Bush presidents.
In 1993, after leaving his post as ambassador to Singapore, Huntsman became president of the Huntsman Cancer Foundation and eventually CEO of Huntsman Family Holdings, the umbrella company for the multibillion-dollar corporation founded by his father.
Huntsman first ran for Utah governor in 2004, winning with 57 percent of the vote.
As governor, proposals to significantly boost education spending and a repeal of the tax on food garnered him support from moderate members of both parties. He also supported school tuition vouchers, pushed through a mostly flat income tax and backed a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in 2004.Next Page >

MILWAUKEE (WSAU-Wheeler News) Wisconsin will continue to have slow-and-steady job growth from July-through-September. That's according to the latest employer survey by Milwaukee's Manpower Incorporated. The global hiring firm says 24-percent of Wisconsin employers expect to add jobs in the third quarter of the year. Five-percent expect layoffs, for a net employment outlook of 19-percent. That's one-percent above the current quarter – and it's three-percent lower than the third quarter a year ago, when the Manpower Index was the highest during the current recovery.
The company expects more vigorous hiring in Metro Milwaukee. 26-percent of those employers plan to add jobs, and 5-percent expect layoffs.
Wisconsin's job growth is expected to out-pace the nation. Only 22-percent of U-S firms expect to add jobs from July-through-September. Still, it's Manpower's highest projected national gain since the Great Recession began in earnest in 2008.

Returning soldier surprises daughter at West Michigan birthday party
Sgt. Lonnie Morren surprises daughters
Photo: mlive.com
January 28, 2013 | AP
A soldier returned home from Afghanistan to surprise his 6-year-old daughter at her birthday party in Muskegon.
U.S. Army Reserves Sgt. Lonnie Morren emerged out of a back room carrying balloons while his daughter Cassidee's friends and family were singing happy birthday to her Sunday at the Lakes Mall.
According to MLive.com (http://bit.ly/Vi6hSZ ), Morren's 8-year-old daughter, Makenzie, ran over to hug him as Cassidee sat awe-struck in her chair. Tears ran down the faces of friends and relatives as they watched Morren reuniting with his girls.
Cassidee hugged her father and said, "You surprised me, daddy."
Morren has been serving in the Army Reserves for 11 years and has been stationed in Cuba, Iraq and most recently Afghanistan. On his most recent deployment, he had been away since February 2012.

As of Tuesday, June 5, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
Conyers Rockdale High School has its new football coach. The school officially announced the hiring of Venson Elder Tuesday, ending a month-long search.
Elder comes to the Conyers school from Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee where he was an assistant on the football team and head track and field coach.
"His quality, working with students, that's what we found across the board and in the interview. We did a panel interview, all of us agreed that he'd be the best for our boys," said Rockdale principal Georgi Nour. "He is very meticulous but very committed (and) when he talks to the student athletes you can just tell the commitment and the respect he has of the kids, and the kids have already gained in him as well…just the commitment that I've already seen and he's shown to our kids."
Nour admitted the program has to play a bit of catch up as there wasn't a coach in place during spring practice.
"Usually you already have (a head coach) in place in spring, so we're having to plan a little differently," Nour said. "Very glad to have our program up and facilitated, we're up and running. Right now we are going to three days a week and on Tuesdays and Thursdays just working with individual players."
Elder takes over for Mario Allen, who was dismissed in April after alleged ethical violations, which included recruiting and practice violations. Mike Etheridge, who was head coach at Rockdale for four seasons, was not retained after the 2011 season ended in November.
Rockdale opens its season August 31 at rival Salem.
