15 LEAD-PRODUCT(S) CERTIFICATION California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (CalOSHA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), California Department of Health Services (DHS), California Department of Education (CDE), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regulate lead-containing paint and lead products. Because the Contractor and its employees will be providing services for the District, and because the Contractor s work may disturb lead-containing building materials, CONTRACTOR IS HEREBY NOTIFIED of the potential presence of lead-containing materials located within certain buildings utilized by the District. All school buildings built prior to 1993 are presumed to contain some lead-based paint until sampling proves otherwise. The CDE mandates that school districts utilize DHS lead-certified personnel when a leadbased hazard is identified. Examples of lead-certified personnel include: project designers, inspectors, and abatement workers. Furthermore, since it is assumed by the district that all painted surfaces (interior as well as exterior) within the District contain some level of lead, it is imperative that the Contractor, its workers and subcontractors fully and adequately comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing lead-based materials (Including Title 8, California Code of Regulations, Section ). Any and all Work which may result in the disturbance of lead-containing building materials must be coordinated through the District. The California Education Code also prohibits the use or import of lead-containing paint, lead plumbing and solders, or other potential sources of lead contamination in the construction of any new school facility or in the modernization or renovation of any existing school facility. The Contractor shall provide the District with any sample results prior to beginning Work, during the Work, and after the completion of the Work. The District may request to examine, prior to the commencement of the Work, the lead training records of each employee of the Contractor. All contractors who disturb lead-based paint in a six-square-foot area or greater indoors or a 20-square-foot area outdoors shall comply with the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, shall receive training from a U.S. EPA-accredited training provider, and shall be certified by the U.S. EPA. Contractor, its workers and subcontractors must fully and adequately comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing lead-based materials, including those rules and regulations appearing within title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations as part 745 (40 CFR 745). If failure to comply with these laws, rules, and regulations results in a site or worker contamination, the Contractor will be held solely responsible for all costs involved in any required corrective actions, and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the District, pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the Contract, for all damages and other claims arising therefrom. If lead disturbance is anticipated in the Work, only persons with appropriate accreditation, registrations, licenses and training shall conduct this Work. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to properly dispose of any and all waste products, including but not limited to, paint chips, any collected residue, or any other visual material that may occur from the prepping of any painted surface. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to provide the proper disposal of any hazardous waste by a certified hazardous waste hauler. This company shall be registered with the Department of Agreement for Construction Services (Small Projects) Certifications / Declarations Page 5
16 Transportation (DOT) and shall be able to issue a current manifest number upon transporting any hazardous material from any school site within the District. THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, THAT HE OR SHE HAS RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL LEAD-BASED MATERIALS ON THE OWNER S PROPERTY, AS WELL AS THE EXISTENCE OF APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING WORK WITH, AND DISPOSAL OF, SUCH MATERIALS WITH WHICH IT MUST COMPLY. THE UNDERSIGNED ALSO WARRANTS THAT HE OR SHE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO SIGN ON BEHALF OF AND BIND THE CONTRACTOR.

In October, we find ourselves traveling to Middle Earth, reading The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Image shows the nine individuals of the fellowship (and the pony Bill), walking on a grassy hillock, and silhouetted against mountains far in the background.
As usual, we have a possible guideline for reading The Fellowship of the Ring below -- but it's a guideline only. Read (and enjoy) at your own pace and post when you have finished a certain section.
1-7 October: Prologue — Chapter IV: A Short Cut to Mushrooms
8-14 October: Chapter V: A Conspiracy Unmasked — Chapter XII: Flight to the Ford
15-21 October: Book Two, Chapter I: Many Meetings — Chapter V: The Bridge of Khazad-dum
22-31 October: Chapter VI: Lothlorien — Chapter X: The Breaking of the Fellowship
Have you read The Fellowship of the Ring before? Or is this your first time reading it? Have you seen the movie and not read the book yet? This might be quite interesting for you, if that is the case!
If inspiration strikes you, please feel free to share some of your own fan fiction, poetry, stories or fan art.
Remember, if you have any suggestions for future book discussions, please drop us an email at hol.bookclub @ gmail.com (with the spaces removed).

Guilt-Stricken Taco Bell Robber Returns Stolen Money
It's not often that a story about a Taco Bell heist ends happily, but a would-be thief in Indiana was apparently so stricken with guilt (or afraid of getting caught) that he returned the cash he'd ripped off only days earlier.
The money hadn't come from the restaurant's cash register or safe, but instead from a jar on the counter asking for donations to help pay for a headstone for the manager's son, who had recently died.
The jar had contained around $100 when it was stolen over the weekend. The theft was caught on surveillance cameras and police say that other employees at the Bell had ID'd the suspect as a former high school classmate.
Now that the money has been returned, no arrest has been made and the manager to whom the jar belonged has asked to not press charges.
Police: Suspect returns stolen donations for headstone [TheStarPress.com]

Matthew Campbell and Kit Chellel
When dictator Moammar Qaddafi renounced Libya's nuclear and chemical weapons program in the early 2000s, the international sanctions that had dammed the country's vast oil wealth, estimated at $60 billion, were relaxed for the first time in decades. Wall Street banks sensed an opportunity in the reemergence of the isolated desert nation, led by hard-charging Goldman Sachs and a junior securities salesman named Youssef Kabbaj. What happened next served as the nexus for this rollicking feature story by Bloomberg Businessweek's Matthew Campbell and Kit Chellel. The two reporters used thousands of pages of court documents as well as dozens of interviews to untangle the "unlikely partnership" between the most aggressive wolf on Wall Street and its series of opaque derivatives transactions, and the country still known as the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. The costly scandal that ensued wound up in a London courtroom after Campbell and Chellel showed how Libya lost every penny of its $1.2 billion investment with Goldman Sachs and how Kabbaj was forced to flee the country amid death threats, his career in shambles.

Though a hot sunny day could have lured people elsewhere, our July SMM gathering was large and lively. A significant number of the 80+ participants were there for the first time and many came from out-of-state. Two people (Bonnie's relatives) even came from New Zealand!!!!
In her welcoming remarks, Bonnie acknowledged the passing of Rian Fried, SRI leader for decades and co-founder of Clean Yield Asset Management in Norwich, VT. She included these words from his obituary in the Barton Chronicle: "The new ag businesses that have flourished in the Northeast Kingdom over the past decade could not have grown so quickly without capital. Many of the necessary resources were found by Rian Fried, a pioneer in the field of SRI, who preferred to work quietly behind the scenes." Many of us will miss him and are grateful for his many years of demonstrated commitment and actions that strentghen our current work.
Bonnie also shared the following quote from "Money Can Heal" by Siegfried Finser, a book describing the history of RSF Social Finance and the organization's focus on healing our culture's social life:
"Money is the medium for the spirit in humanity to transform our civilization and to humanize it in accordance with our deepest intentions. We have understood that money does not move through physical force but entirely through the social forces inherent in every transaction."
Agenda changes included Mia Strong bowing out since her CSB (community supported brewery) had found funding through Indiegogo for meeting its startup needs. Gray & Daniel from CEI had schedule conflicts and were not there to share updates. As usual, the summer lineup for presenters had fewer farmers represented due to their seasonal demands.
Here is the synopsis of presentations::

Maine Farmland Trust and its partners intend to establish a food hub in Unity, Maine that will be an essential component in the local foods supply chain serving a triple bottom line that supports the local economy, protects farmland, and strengthens local AG-in-the Middle producers in the farming community. The Unity Food Hub will concentrate attention on AG-in-the-Middle by providing: a vegetable washing and packing facility; dry, cold, and freezer storage capacity; a multi-farm CSA available to individuals, large employer groups, and buying clubs supported by online ordering and payment; brokerage and distribution services to farmers, food distributors, and suppliers to both retail and institutions; food safety, traceability, and inventory control processes and tools for our suppliers; and 'Know Your Farmer' marketing materials for institutional clients and our farmer suppliers.
Our location in a renovated grammar school in Unity's town center, is in the middle of our primary market region, roughly bounded by Bangor, Augusta, Waterville, and Belfast. We are on trucking routes convenient for distribution and easily accessible by CSA participants picking up their shares.
To accommodate CSA members living outside the Unity area, we will identify centralized pick-up locations nearby those clients, and deliver to larger workplaces and community centers. Some of these locations are likely to be at the same institutions whose kitchens we also hope to supply, creating opportunities for one market segment to strengthen sales to the other.

Mary Ann Hayes/ Maine Rural Partners
Maine Rural Partners (MRP) has a core mission of strengthening the capacity of rural Maine to secure a vital and sustainable quality of life. Our motto is "Listen. Connect. Create." We listen to what's needed, connect the right players, and create value added solutions.
MRP has developed a strategic focus around food and energy self-reliance and shines at the intersection between the two. On July 24, we will share the highlights and current needs of two exciting endeavors: Farm Energy Partners and Micmac Farms.
Farm Energy Partners
MRP's Farm Energy Partners Network helps Maine farmers Save Energy, Improve the Environment and Strengthen their Bottom Lines. Since 2007, FEP has secured close to $1M in USDA funding to deliver technical assistance related to energy concerns of Maine farmers. Areas addressed include efficiency, renewable technologies, carbon trading, season extension and post-harvest food storage.
To reach our goal of a renewable energy demonstration site in each county by 2015 we need a commitment of $50,000/year over 3 years, as well as investors open to partnering with individual farm and food businesses to help them invest in future energy self-reliance.
Micmac Farms
The Aroostook Band of Micmacs is committed to improving the social, economic and nutritional condition of its members. Over the past 10 months, MRP has assisted the Micmac Farms tribal enterprise in several aspects, most notably (1) reducing building energy costs by 38%, and (2) establishing the basis for a highly-productive sustainable food production system utilizing Permaculture.
More investments are needed in people and infrastructure to build sustainable food self-reliance for the Micmac people. Fisheries and game management, along with the farm operation, are critical pieces of this strategy. A list of investment opportunities is available.
If you share our commitment to building food and energy self-reliance for rural Maine, please contact us.

Craig Lapine/ Cultivating Community
Cultivating Community—based in Portland, Maine and active in Cumberland and Androscoggin Counties—is committed to growing sustainable communities by expanding access to healthy, local food; by empowering people to play many roles in a restored local, sustainable food system; and by modeling and advocating for ecological food production.
Each year we generate more than $150,000 in food, provide training for over 1,000 young people, create food access for over 4,000 low-income individuals and families, and support more than 40 new American families in establishing independent farm businesses.
Our Lisbon, Maine site is currently the largest incubator training farm in Maine, and we operate programs or support production at an additional six sites. We are seeking to establish a new integrated Cumberland County farm education and business incubation center. The site would combine Cultivating Community's land uses of organizational and demonstration production, farm business incubation, and community education and events.

John Chartier/ Orchard Hill Farm
John started off with an overview of Maine's need for more organic feed grains. He shared that 1 dairy cow needs about an acre of grain per year and that there is currently a market for roughly 5,000 acres worth of organic feed grains. Through John's work at MOFGA he has been working with Organic Valley, Cooperative Extension, Aroostook Farm Bureau, and others to promote the growth of an organic grain industry in Aroostook County. One of the main challenges that farmers face when considering this enterprise is having an "open book model farm" to go look at and learn about the economics of growing organic grains. John and his business partner Stan Maynard have started developing such a farm northwest of Caribou. So far they have put 30 acres into production and would like to put in another 60 this year. In order to put the other 60 acres into production they need $30,000 in working capital for the next 5 years.

Paul Boghosssian/ Hathaway Center
The Hathaway Center in Waterville is a mixed use project with apartments, offices, retail, recreation (fitness, gallery, and river access). The Hathaway project pioneered the significant use of historic tax credits in Maine when the Maine Legislature passed a special Hathaway tax credit in 2006 which they viewed as a pilot program. Due to the success of the Hathaway rehab, the historic tax credit was expanded statewide in 2008. The first building alone is 230,000 sf. which we made into 67 apartments, 120,000 sf of office space and 50,000 sf of retail space. The total investment was north of $32 M. It is not an exaggeration that the Hathaway has catalyzed the redevelopment of downtown with nearly 500 people currently living and working in the building. Soon there will be 650 people as MaineGeneral just announced a major expansion that will fill the building up.
We are looking toward phases 2 and 3 of the building now. I always wanted to do a creative economy hub. We've been able to do that a bit in the Hathaway but bank financing really put a damper on that, forcing rents to be too high for creative type uses. For the next phase CEI looks to be coming in as an equity partner. It is patient money, and their calculus is community return more than financial return. Interested in joining in this endeavor?

Sam May and Heather Spalding (Interim Ex. Director of MOFGA) shared the success of Maine passing a GMO labeling bill (2nd state in the country to do so) and detailed next steps. Of the $100K needed for Maine's GMO campaign, there is $20K remaining to be raised and obviously more will be needed to support efforts in NH in months ahead.
Kathy Englehart from Kennebec Valley Community College spoke about plans for 1-2 year certificate programs in the areas of culinary arts and sustainable agriculture. Working with 600-acres for a farm at Good Will Hinckley's site and a $2.5mm grant from the U.S. Dept. of Labor, the college is well poised to begin this program in the Fall of 2013.
John Hamilton, from NH Community Loan Fund/Vested for Growth, briefly described the role of royalty-based financing (RFB) in meeting funding needs of businesses where investors own a percentage of future growth revenues and business owners do not have to prepare an exit strategy. This approach is best suited for established companies with stable and growing revenues ($1mm+) and GPM in excess of 25%.

Wayne Scott, a 56-year-old truck driver from Abbotsford, B.C., was convicted earlier this year along with Jarrod Bacon of conspiracy to traffic cocaine.
The pair were busted in a reverse-sting operation in which a police agent offered to sell 100 kilograms of cocaine for $3 million.
Scott, whose daughter had a child with Bacon, asked for a conditional sentence and claimed he was manipulated by a friend, who was the police agent, and Bacon to do something he wouldn't otherwise do.
Associate Chief Justice Austin Cullen agrees Scott's involvement was low and was out of character, but he says Scott still had free will and appeared to be motivated by profit.
Cullen says given the seriousness of the alleged conspiracy, a conditional sentence isn't appropriate in this case, but noted a 3-1/2 year sentence is far below the usual range of sentences for drug trafficking.

By Donald C. Fry
For lawmakers, the tradition at midnight on the final day of the Maryland General Assembly session in Annapolis has usually been to cue the confetti and declare victory.
At midnight on April 9, the confetti shower was cancelled and no legislative leader was claiming victory.
Instead, Governor Martin O'Malley, Senate President Mike Miller and House Speaker Michael Busch spent the post-midnight aftermath and the morning-after telling reporters and constituents how it came about that the General Assembly ended up passing a "Doomsday" budget that no one in Annapolis expected to happen.
More than $500 million in cuts were enacted by lawmakers Monday night after the House and the Senate could not agree on a package of revenue increases and levels of local contributions to teacher pensions required to balance the state's operating budget.
The cuts to education are "really a damn shame," O'Malley said as he, Miller and Busch participated in bill signings the day after the session's surprising finish. Enactment of the Doomsday budget is "pretty much the low point in my experience here," the governor said.
"We proposed a budget to protect our shared priorities of public safety, quality education and affordable college," Governor O'Malley tweeted to constituents. "This does not," he said linking recipients to the page of the budget conference committee report that outlines cuts to education and to local governments.
What happened?
"We both came up with our own plans," Miller said in a Tuesday morning interview on WAMU. The budget ultimately proved to be "a complex package that didn't happen," Miller said. Observers of the legislative process seem to agree that the two legislative chambers' disparate revenue plans – both in size and approach – presented complexities not normally confronted on Sine Die.
Miller said he had the votes in the Senate for an 11th-hour budget plan that leaders from both houses had agreed upon. "I had the votes in the Senate on each and every thing," he said. But "in the House, they couldn't get the votes."
He stated he was hopeful lawmakers can be called back to Annapolis and "give the governor an opportunity, along with the House members, to get their votes together."
Busch's account differed. He complained to reporters that the Senate did not send needed tax legislation over to the House in time to meet the midnight deadline.
Busch said he agrees the budget needs to be fixed, reported the Sun's Michael Dresser, "but you can't until you have a plan."
The 'Doomsday' cuts
The so-called "Doomsday" budget makes $512.2 million in cuts to proposed state operating expenses, more than half of which comes from reductions in public school funding and other aid to local jurisdictions.
Following is a more detailed summary of "Doomsday" cuts:
• Education: Cuts amount to $204.9 million in education aid to the state's jurisdictions, including $128.8 million by eliminating the Geographic Cost of Education Index, and $70.9 million by reducing the state funding foundation amount for $6,694 per pupil to $6,650.
• Higher education: $74 million in state funding for higher education is cut, including $38.5 million in public higher education funding and $19.9 million in funding for community colleges. Also eliminated are $11.8 million in Delegate and Senatorial scholarships and $3.8 million in grants to nonpublic higher education institutions.
• Other local aid: $57.4 million in additional state cuts are borne by local jurisdictions, including $31.6 in cuts to disparity grants and $20.8 million in cuts achieved by eliminating local law enforcement grants.
• Tax credits: The budget cuts $25.4 million by eliminating three important funding incentives for business growth – funding for stem cell research, the biotechnology tax credit and the sustainable communities tax credit.
• Health and human services: Cuts amount to $21.7 million, including eliminating $15.2 million in provider increases for the Developmental Disabilities Administration, Mental Hygiene Administration, foster care and non-public placements. Another $6.5 million in cuts are made by reducing capacity at Regional Institutes for Children and Adolescents, from which patients lawmakers presume can be absorbed in private Residential Treatment Centers.
• State agencies: $128.8 million in operating funding is cut from state agencies, including $50 million derived from 8-percent reductions in agency operating expenses, $33.8 million by eliminating cost-of-living raises for state employees, $30 million by eliminating 500 positions and $15 million in savings by increasing state employees' share of health insurance costs.
So what's next in the aftermath of one of the most unusual conclusions to a Maryland General Assembly session in recent memory?
Miller and Busch both appear to agree a special session should be called to restore the spending cuts.
Governor O'Malley said he will not call a special session until legislative leaders have reached an agreement on how to address the budget issues, his spokesperson told the Sun on April 11.
Local government leaders preparing their fiscal budgets for the next year are faced with uncertainty of how much state aid will be forthcoming from Annapolis for education, community colleges, disparity grants, police grants, library funding, etc. The legislature's conclusion on Sine Die certainly complicates these budget preparations.
Miller noted to WAMU on April 10 the passage of the Doomsday budget "is not a catastrophic event." The General Assembly can return to Annapolis for a "do over" to fix the fiscal issues left unresolved.
It would not be unprecedented. The last time the General Assembly had to reconvene to fix the budget was 20 years ago. But resorting to "do-over" policy-making on core fiscal matters is not a best-case scenario for the State of Maryland or any legislature.
Let's hope that doesn't happen for at least another 20 years.

An Overactive bladder is a condition that results from a sudden and unstoppable need to urinate caused by an involuntary contraction of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder. The urge may be difficult to suppress, and overactive bladder can even lead to the involuntary loss of urine (incontinence), even if the bladder contains a small amount of urine.
Overactive bladder is a problem with bladder function that causes a sudden urge to urinate, resulting in voiding more than 8 times a day. Overactive bladder is primarily a problem of the nerves and muscles of the bladder, but the reason why it occurs is unclear, and indeed there may be multiple possible causes.
Although it can happen at any age, overactive bladder is especially common in older adults, and as you grow older, you are at increased risk of developing overactive bladder; however, despite overactive bladder being more common among older adults, overactive bladder is NOT a normal part of aging.
Overactive Bladder and Pregnancy
A normal adult bladder will fill to approximately 300 cc of urine before a signal is sent to the nervous system to trigger muscles of the bladder to cause urination; however, most people can voluntarily hold up to 600 cc of urine. These amounts decrease considerably in the later stages of pregnancy. As the baby grows the uterus grows and expands, this places more pressure on the bladder which can produce the urge to urinate more frequently. In addition, starting as early as six to eight weeks into a pregnancy, women often feel an urgent need to relieve themselves much more frequently. This happens in part because the volume of blood in the body increases dramatically, causing the kidneys to filter more fluid resulting in more urine and need for more frequent bladder emptying.
If you believe you have an Overactive bladder, then you should see a Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Gynecology or Urology specialist.
