I have several issues with Michael Bagdes-Canning's response ("Pro-frackers fibbing," April 21) to my letter ("Anti-fracking nonsense," April 8).
Regarding his response that "Even a geologic neophyte like me knows there are pockets of water, sands, and all sorts of natural fractures between the surface and the Marcellus ..." For simple clarification purposes, neither water nor sand comes in "pockets". There are geologic formations (sandstones, limestones, mudrocks, etc.) that extend in sheets over large areas, and there is groundwater that exists just under the surface of the land, except where it comes to the surface in the form of streams, springs, lakes and swamps. If water can be withdrawn from rock or sediment beneath the surface, such materials are called aquifers. As for the fractures, most of the stratigraphic section between the Marcellus Formation and the surface is occupied by mudrocks. These may be somewhat cracked by tectonic and compaction stresses, but they do not support through-going fractures directly connecting the Marcellus to the surface aquifers.
The writer also questions my comments about air pollution associated with Marcellus wells. He lists a host of gaseous components, but again fails to list their concentrations and what EPA lists as dangerous levels. Analytical detection does not necessarily constitute a health hazard.
Not only that, everyone gets all fussed up about diesel fumes at a gas well site but think nothing of the vast number of trucks that use the highway system to bring us products or about the number of unnecessary miles we drive in our own cars. Or, how about fueling your own car? How many parts per million benzene molecules do we inhale or absorb?
The point is to keep things in perspective.
The writer points out that Western Pennsylvania has been mined and drilled before. Yes, it certainly has, and our environment bears the scars of those previous activities. However, not only were those all shallow activities, which can't be compared to activities in the deep formations such as the Marcellus, but they predated government regulation: In fact, they are the reason for government regulation. There was a time that our land and rivers stunk or were poisoned with municipal and industrial waste, our factories spewed out tons of air pollution, lead accumulated in body tissues, and mining was promiscuous.
Nobody wants to go back to that and government regulation has provided the means not to. The gas drilling industry is already regulated and new regulations are on the horizon.
Dr. Andy Grotewald also commented on my letter ("Stick to science," April 18.) His principal point was that the consequences of fracking may not become apparent until decades from now. The fact is, the environmental degradation would have become apparent within the first couple of years. Not only that, we are doing many things whose consequences won't become apparent for years — building in geologically unstable locations, installing landfills, using cell phones, computers, new medicines, etc. Does that mean we don't do them? No. We use the best science available to us at the time and if we have to alter the course, we do.
I am taken with the notion that we all use natural resources (including natural gas) to live comfortable lives, yet in the minds of the anti-fracking group, the solution appears to be "no drilling" rather than "responsible drilling."
I just don't get it.

DURHAM, N.C. - A five-run first inning gave Virginia Tech a lead it would not relinquish as the Duke baseball team fell to the Hokies, 14-7, Saturday afternoon at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
The Blue Devils cut the deficit to three runs in both the second and seventh innings, but the Hokies were able to answer on both occasions.
"You don't try and get them all back in one swing," said head coach Chris Pollard. "You keep trying to score a couple here, score a couple there. You realize when you do that, you all of sudden get back in to the ball game. We did that a couple times. Unfortunately, every time we answered [Virginia Tech] had an answer."
The Hokies sent 10 batters to the plate in the top of the first, scoring five runs on six hits. Right fielder Gary Schneider singled on the first pitch of the game and four-straight Virginia Tech players recorded a hit with one out to plate the first three runs of the game. With the bases loaded, shortstop Alex Perez snuck a base hit inside the third base line to make it 5-0 in favor of the Hokies.
Duke got one back in the first as sophomore second baseman Andy Perez lifted his first career home run over the Blue Monster in left field. Junior third baseman Jordan Betts followed suit in the bottom of the second, leading off the inning with a solo shot of his own to cut the Virginia Tech lead to 5-2. The home run was Betts' fourth this season and ninth of his career.
The Hokies answered with a run in both the third and fourth innings before adding a pair in the sixth to extend their lead to 9-2.
Despite the deficit, Duke continued to battle and scored four runs over the sixth and seventh innings. First baseman Chris Marconcini doubled to lead off the sixth and advanced to third on a Grant McCabe infield single. Catcher Ryan Munger recorded the first RBI of the inning, plating Marconcini on a grounder to short, before left fielder Mark Lumpa laced a single to center to bring home McCabe.
The Blue Devils added two more runs in the seventh on a Marconcini two-run homer to right field to cut Virginia Tech's advantage to 9-6. Marconcini leads Duke with five home runs on the season and has totaled nine for his career.
Duke was unable to pull any closer, however, as the Hokies scored three runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth. Virginia Tech totaled 16 hits on the day, led by Tyler Horan's 4-for-5 performance. The Tech left fielder belted two triples in the game, adding two RBI and three runs scored.
"They hit some balls hard last night right at people, and today they squared some balls up but they also had some soft contact that fell in," said Pollard. "That's part of baseball. Even with that, we still battled our way back into the ball game. We cut the lead in half a couple times. We got it to 9-6. We got ourselves in position to be able to make a run. I thought our guys kept of fighting at the plate the whole game. When you're digging yourself out of hole against a good team with a good arm, you're fighting an uphill battle."
Junior Drew Van Orden (1-2) took the loss for Duke. The right-hander went 2.1 innings, allowing six runs on nine hits and three walks. Devin Burke (5-0) secured his fifth win of the season for the Hokies, allowing four runs on eight hits over six innings.
The Blue Devils and the Hokies will wrap up the series Sunday. The series finale is slated for a 1 p.m., start at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

A new shopping center could be in the works for the Sunrise Beach area in the next few years but the proposal, which must be considered by Camden County, Sunrise Beach and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR), comes with some complications.
A new shopping center could be in the works for the Sunrise Beach area in the next few years but the proposal, which must be considered by Camden County, Sunrise Beach and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR), comes with some complications.
Magruder Quarry & Equipment currently operates a quarry that abuts Highway 5 in the Village of Sunrise Beach. The company has applied for a rezoning on property adjacent to the existing quarry directly to the south that is in Camden County. The property is owned by Charles and Phyllis Turner.
The application by Magruder seeks to change the zoning on the Turner property from agricultural-residential (A-R) to high impact commercial (B-3). The stated intent, according to Camden County Planning and Zoning Administrator Don Hathaway, is to develop a big box commercial shopping center.
The proposed finished area of overall development consists of approximately 49 acres with roughly half on the Turner property in Camden County and half on the existing quarry in Sunrise Beach.
Magruder's Sunrise Beach location is already zoned commercial. The quarry is a grandfathered use under Sunrise Beach P&Z.
As a quarry company, Magruder is not simply seeking to excavate and develop commercial property. It is also seeking a special use permit from the Camden County Board of Adjustment (the BOA is a part of P&Z) to quarry and sell the rock from the Turner property until the land is at a grade suitable for a large commercial site.
According to Hathaway, the BOA has the ability to set a limit on the grade work as well as the length of time for quarrying with a special use permit. Just what limits will be proposed are still up in the air, he said, and are subject to BOA approval.
Hathaway said the time frame could be around five years, give or take a year or two.
The final grade of the land and the amount of material that needs to be removed to get to that point are the main factors in the time frame.
"There's a lot of material, a lot of rock there, so it will take a lot of work to get it to grade," he said.
To expand the quarry, Magruder must also get a land reclamation permit from DNR.
Located adjacent to the village, the Sunrise Beach P&Z process will also review Magruder's proposal to Camden County.
Camden County has an intergovernmental agreement with the Sunrise Beach Board of Trustees to allow input on P&Z cases involving property within 1 1/2 miles of the village.
If the Sunrise Beach BOT recommends denial of the rezoning, it would take a supermajority - rather than a simple majority - of the county planning commission to approve the B-3 request.
The Sunrise Beach Planning Commission will begin its review of the case at its Monday, July 1 meeting. The meeting will start at 6 p.m. and is held at Sunrise Beach City Hall.
The case will officially open with the Camden County Planning Commission at its Wednesday, July 17 meeting to begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Camden County Courthouse third floor hearing room.
The BOA agenda is not yet firmly set. It may hear the case at its July 24 meeting, or the case may be delayed to see how the county planning commission rules, according to Hathaway.
Without approval of the shopping center concept, the county will likely not want to extend quarry operations, he said.
It typically takes two months to rezone a property. If any opposition is presented to a case at the initial hearing, it is automatically tabled per P&Z bylaws until the following month's meeting.
The quarry at this location has faced opposition in the past to operations.
There were significant complaints from residents and business owners near the quarry about blasting operations under a different company, leading to the formation of the Sunrise Beach Quarry Accountability Committee.
The committee's advocacy led to some changes in state regulations and village ordinances. The issue also sparked renewed interest in P&Z in the village, leading to its adoption in 2009.
There were also complaints about a former asphalt plant at the site under a different operator.
When Magruder attempted to open a temporary asphalt plant at the quarry for its repaving work on Highway 5 this summer, the short term conditional use permit was ultimately denied by the Sunrise Beach BOT with stated concerns from board members regarding public health and welfare.

With the first overall pick, the Chiefs select..... Jarvis Jones, beast of the LB out of Georgia.
Trade our 2nd rd pick to Washington for Kirk Cousins.
I know we need a QB, and drafting Geno or any other QB this year with the first overall pick would be a big mistake. If we offered our #34 overall, that's more than anyone else other than the Jags #33, without giving up a 1st rd pick for him (which I think is too high). Since the Redskins gave up 3 draft picks for RGIII, they should be looking to stock-up on a few picks, and our 2nd should be more than enough.
I say next year I think the Chiefs should go back to running a 4-3. We have been doing this 3-4 stuff for a few years, and our defense has always at the bottom of the league. We could drop Tamba down to DE, and have Houston, Johnson, (Jarvis Jones) as our 3 LB's. We'd still need a DT to accompany Poe.
I know it's way too early to do a real mock draft, but I've been a Chiefs fan all my life (26) and I'm tired of seeing losing season after losing season, and always saying "There's always next year".
Any thoughts?!

Red Sox - 020 000 060 - 8 10 1Wakefield pitched 7.1 no-hit innings and went the distance for his 31st career complete game. After the pen was spent after Tuesday night, Wakefield did exactly what the Red Sox needed.
Athletics - 000 000 011 - 2 4 0
Mike Lowell hit a two-run home run in the second inning. His fielding error to start the sixth ruined Wakefield's shot at a perfect game. For the first seven innings, Wakefield's pitch count was ridiculously low: 30 through 5 innings, 54 through 6, 67 through 7. He began to tire at that point, allowing six base runners (and two runs) over the last two innings and throwing 44 pitches. He finished with a 9-4-2-2-4, 111 line.
Eight consecutive Red Sox batters reached base after two were out in the eighth inning. J.D. Drew's three-run dong broke the game open, giving Boston a 5-0 lead.
Daisuke Matsuzaka has been placed on the 15-day disabled list. Left-handed reliever Hunter Jones has been summoned from Pawtucket and may arrive at the park during today's game.
Terry Francona, after speaking with trainer Mike Reinhold this morning:
I don't think there's an injury. It just looks like there's some fatigue. Kind of like last year, where he's got to build it back up and feel good about himself.***
Tim Wakefield (4.50, 113 ERA+) / Brett Anderson (7.50, 60 ERA+)
Another game in Oakland, another young lefty.
... it looks as if Anderson will turn out to be the best player brought to Oakland in the [Haren] exchange. The son of a pitching coach, he was the most polished pitcher in the Arizona system as a teenager, but scouts were always turned off by his dumpy, unathletic frame. Last spring, he came to camp 25 to 30 pounds lighter and took another step forward because of it, with his low-90s fastball grading up because of its excellent movement and location. Unlike most pitchers his age [21], Anderson has advanced secondary offerings and an excellent feel for his craft. He's moving up rapidly, could be in Oakland by the end of the year, and has All-Star potential.Wakefield needs to go at least six innings, as the bullpen pitched 10.2 innings last night and most of the relievers went multiple innings, including Justin Masterson (4 innings, 60 pitches), Manny Delcarmen (1.2, 36), Hideki Okajima (2, 28). Also, Javier Lopez has pitched in each of the last three games.
Who's available? Takashi Saito was the only reliever to not work yesterday. Jonathan Papelbon did not pitch on Sunday or Monday and threw only 16 pitches last night. Ramon Ramirez would be the third guy, I suppose. Can Chris Carter pitch?
Win or lose this afternoon, the day off on Thursday will be most welcome.

Early in "Captain Phillips," the cargo ship captain (Tom Hanks) and his wife (Catherine Keener) drive from their Vermont home to the airport where he'll take a flight to his next job, one that will bring him face-to-face with the less fortunate on the other side of the globe. Like the chatter of so many couples, their conversation turns to their general feeling of economic uncertainty.
"It just seems like the world's movin' so fast," says Phillips, wondering about the future their kids will inherit. "Big wheels are turning."

An oilfield staffing company has released the names of the worker who was killed and the worker who is still missing after Friday's oil platform explosion in the Gulf.
An oilfield staffing company has released the names of the worker who was killed and the worker who is still missing after Friday's oil platform explosion in the Gulf.
Search crews with Houston-based Black Elk Energy found Ellroy Corporal's body Saturday night, DNR Offshore, a staffing firm based in the Philippines, said in a news release Monday.
Black Elk, the company that owns the rig, has vowed to continue searching for a second missing worker, which DNR identified as Jerome Malagapo.
DNR said the four workers still being treated for severe burns at Baton Rouge General Hospital are also their employees. All six are Filipino.
Doctors in the hospital's burn ward said in a news release Monday afternoon that those employees' conditions remained largely the same. Two of the workers are in critical condition, one is in serious condition and a fourth, Wilberto Illagan, has demonstrated improvement and is in good condition.
"Tell my countrymen to pray for us and our quick recovery," Illagan said in his second statement since the accident. "And that our caregivers are always with us, and they are very kind to us."
Jose Cuisia Jr., ambassador to the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C., visited the hospital Monday.
All six men were working for the Galliano-based company Grand Isle Shipyard when the explosion occurred.
The cause of Friday's fire, which resulted in minor injuries to 11 other workers and forced nine others to evacuate, is uncertain. Initial reports by U.S. Coast Guard officials said workers triggered the explosion while using a cutting torch, but Grand Isle Shipyard officials disputed that account in a statement released Sunday.
"Initial reports that a welding torch was being used at the time of the incident or that an incorrect line was cut are completely inaccurate," CEO Mark Pregeant said in the statement.
Federal officials with multiple agencies are investigating the explosion, according to The Associated Press.
Friday's explosion garnered national news attention and comparisons to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
This platform, however, was "shut-in" and not producing oil, so experts said there won't likely be any major environmental disaster.
A thin sheen was reported Friday afternoon, but Coast Guard reports indicate it disappeared by Saturday evening.

Sutter Keely lives in the now. It's a good place for him. A high school senior, charming and self-possessed, he's the life of the party, loves his job at a men's clothing store, and has no plans for the future. A budding alcoholic, he's never far from his supersized, whisky-fortified 7UP cup. But after being dumped by his girlfriend, Sutter gets drunk and wakes up on a lawn with Aimee Finicky hovering over him. Not a member of the cool crowd, she's different: the nice girl who reads science fiction and doesn't have a boyfriend. She does have dreams, while Sutter lives in a world of impressive self-delusion. And yet they're drawn to each other.
Sorry, no cinemas are available within -1km of postal code 60563 that are playing the movie "The Spectacular Now" on Monday, 25 June.Please try:- extending your search range, or - entering a new postal code, or- choosing another date.If after trying different options and your movie still does not appear with showtimes, your movie may not be playing nearby for the options you chose.
What, exactly, can you do with a genre as well worn as the contemporary coming-of-age story? With such a hefty stockpile of high school graduation movies, new entries are bound to entertain apprehension and low expectations. What could The Spectacular Now, the latest feature film about an 18-year-old boy ascending to his existential plateau, offer that no other film of its breed has before?
That's a fair question to ask both before and after watching James Ponsoldt's drama about popular party animal Sutter (Miles Teller) accessing a new side of himself following a breakup with longtime girlfriend Cassidy (Brie Larson). At the dawn of prom and graduation season, Sutter connects with an intellectual introvert named Aimee (Shailene Woodley), clinging desperately to the unconditional kindness with which she emanates. The film's story, derived from the 2008 novel by Tim Tharp, follows Sutter and Aimee as their relationship evolves and invites each party to pioneer emotional experiences. For the shy, unassuming Aimee, this new chapter invites an introduction to confidence. For Sutter, his first tustles with self-reflection... a journey that comes with no dearth of punches to the gut.
Yes, well-worn territory, the both of them: the plight of a teenaged bookworm to find her spark and adventure, the ''destiny'' of a deluded manchild to anchor down to Earth. It isn't the invention of The Spectacular Now that will grab, keep a hold on, and ultimately engulf you altogether (which it will). It is, contrastingly, the very feeling that you've walked down these roads before.
Both in life and on the big screen, in fact. You'll appreciate a revisitation to the tropes of ''last day of school'' movies past with naturalism in grand supply and characters far more interesting and lovable - not always likable, but consistently lovable - than those delivered even by most of the genre's entries. Putting even the troops of Dazed and Confused to shame, The Spectacular Now's characters will astound you when they're sitting in their bedrooms, chatting over math textbooks. And you'll appreciate the attack on your trove of personal experiences in the delicate deconstruction of Sutter and Aimee and their complicated internalities. You'll appreciate these things so much because you've seen them done before, both poorly and expertly, and you've felt them happen before, both as positive experiences and heartbreaking ones. You'll appreciate The Spectacular Now in its honesty - these are the things we know, we've seen, we've felt. Here they are, without a particle of mercy or propaganda.
If you were to assign The Spectacular Now a single victory, it would be in its earnestness. Sutter, a character slumped so deeply in his defense mechanisms, is delivered with more humanity than we've seen in any memorable high school flick. And Aimee, so dangerously close to taking form as a vehicle for Sutter's evolution and nothing beyond that, is an insuperable hero for teen movie female leads and for those inflicted with a tragic scarcity of self love. As movie characters, following in the footsteps of the Dazed and Confuseds and others of the type, Sutter and Aimee are a creative triumph. And as people - full-fledged breathing beings tapping into everything any of us might have felt in our own paths toward (but not quite to) adulthood, they are majestic.
No, The Spectacular Now won't shock you in any of its twists or turns. It doesn't have to. The material it is working with, the material we all know so well, is worth our attention. And it is handled better than it ever has been before.

Smyrna Town Council has a full agenda for their meeting Monday, Nov. 19 as they are set to discuss both the proposed 2013 budget and the proposed police station expansion.
The Finance Committee voted to forward their proposed 2013 budget to council in their own meeting on Wednesday night. The Committee passed a motion on a budget that includes taking $511,000 out of a general reserve fund, a two-cent tax increase, and restricting the spending of $289,000 until March when the 2012 numbers are finalized and the town has a better sense of where the economy is. The suggestion was made after the committee couldn't agree on taking the money from the Rainy Day Fund, something some council members didn't agree with either, and the committee doesn't want a large tax increase either.
Added to the agenda earlier this week is a presentation by Fearn-Clendaniel Architects of the revised proposal for the police building expansion as well as a recommendation from the Police Building Committee to approve Fearn-Clendaniel to proceed with the expansion.
The presentation and recommendation come after council previously approved a motion for the town to look for proposals from other companies in hopes of getting the price down to $3.5 million from the original price of $4.9 million. However, at another council meeting Councilwoman Regina Brown, chair of the Police Building Committee, suggested Fearn-Clendaniel should get a chance to cut the price down since they did the feasibility study. Council approved the motion and sent the expansion back to the committee for further work.
Other items on the agenda include a presentation by Tim Sparrow on behalf of the Smyrna Library Guild, discussion and vote on matter involving Smyrna Municipal Park, discussion and vote on recommendation on possible donation for victims of Hurricane Sandy, and a certificate of appreciation awarded to George Wright for his years of dedication to Smyrna.
Council will also go into an Executive Session.

Live or live-cut...that is the question for this year's holiday tradition of decorating an evergreen indoors for Christmas.
You may think that you are being a better environmental steward by purchasing a live tree, but that's not necessarily true.
Live-cut Christmas trees are a 100 percent renewable resource that is reusable, recyclable and biodegradable. They are an American product, farms employ approximately 100,000 people each year; and one acre of planted Christmas trees provides the daily oxygen requirement for 18 people.

Wades Boyhood Dream Now Highest Honor
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
When Chad Wade was a 13-year-old living in Weeping Water, Neb., he could not wait for the mailman to deliver what became the highlight of his week – the latest weightlifting program from the Detroit Lions, where his uncle, Gary Wade, was the head strength and conditioning coach. "Gary's my dad's brother, and my dad was just as interested in getting that program as I was. We'd both start lifting the day we got it in the mail," Chad recalled Friday after receiving the highest honor in the strength and conditioning coaching profession – a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach (MSCC) designation from the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCa).
As much as Wade prefers to work in the shadows for the benefit of Nebraska football, this honor was one time when he could not avoid the spotlight, especially when the presentation is the annual highlight of CSCCa's national conference. Nearly 400 people at the Downtown Kansas City Marriott Hotel applauded Wade Thursday night when James Dobson, Nebraska's head strength and conditioning coach, presented Wade a blue Master Strength and Conditioning Coach jacket.
A year ago, Dobson had received the same MSCC designation to become the second Nebraska strength coach to earn that honor. The only other current Husker coach who has achieved that level is Mike Arthur,director of strength and conditioning at Nebraska. Arthur's 35-year association in Nebraska's pioneering strength and conditioning program has been so crucial that he joined Boyd Epley in the first induction class into the USA Strength and Conditioning Coaches Hall of Fame.
"Gary worked for Boyd, and Boyd hired me as a graduate assistant for football in 1996," recalled Wade, who became a fulltime strength coach for Nebraska basketball from 1997 to 2002 before moving back to Husker football in the spring of 2002. "I feel very fortunate to have worked in this field with so many great people over a long period of time, including Boyd, Mike, Dave (Kennedy) and James. It was humbling to be up there and see people I work with every day – Willie Jones, Tyler Clarke and Lauren Harris – in the same room."
"This is an incredible honor for Chad," said Dr. Chuck Stiggins, CSCCa's executive director. "Being named a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach signifies a commitment to the student-athlete, the University of Nebraska athletic program, and the strength and conditioning profession. We're honored to have Coach Wade as a member of our association and to have him join the ranks of our Master coaches. He is truly a model of an outstanding strength and conditioning professional."
Among the five criteria to earn the Master's designation is having a minimum 12 years of experience as a full-time strength and conditioning coach on the collegiate or professional level. About 10 percent of the CSCCa members have achieved the Master's designation.
One of the presenters at CSCCa was Eric Kapitulik, who has been working with Nebraska football over the past two seasons with his Boston-based company called The Program. "He nailed his presentation on shared adversity," Dobson said. "All 400 people in the room were listening and writing down notes. It was right on target."

Another important point if this is really a 'C' program:
You should post a full program, including headers that you included. The reason is that a C program will and can behave differently if headers are missing. If you post code with no headers (as you did in your initial post), then there is no telling how the program will behave.

At the City Commission meeting Monday evening commissioners approved establishing a Rural Housing Incentive District (RHID) for Summerlon Phase III-North 1.
At the City Commission meeting Monday evening commissioners approved establishing a Rural Housing Incentive District (RHID) for Summerlon Phase III-North 1.
Before any formal action can be taken, however, a public hearing must be held to give residents a chance to voice their concerns and opinions about the proposed project. The public meeting will take place April 1.
The RHID program is designed to aid developers in building housing within a community by assisting in the financing of public improvements, according to the website dodgecityhousing.com. RHID captures 100 percent of the incremental increase in real property taxes created by a housing development project for up to 15 years.
According to City Clerk Nanette Pogue, this is just the next step in the project development. Once the public hearing has been held, the district will officially be established as a RHID and plans for construction can begin.
Nineteen single family homes are planned to be constructed in the Northeast portion of the Summerlon Addition, which is directly South of Summerlon Commercial Properties.
In other business, the commission:
• Tabled an ordinance rezoning the property located at 511 Sunflower from R-1 residential Low to C-2 Commercial Highway until more information can be gathered. Neighboring residents and the owner of the property were at the meeting to voice their opinions. The owner would like to use the property to access a warehouse that is directly behind the property. Neighbors were concerned about noise and the additional truck traffic.
• Approved the 2009 edition of the International Fire Code. Previously, the city was using the 2003 code. The 2009 edition is the most updated version.
• Approved a resolution establishing a policy for the city to provide assistance to other cities and counties in the area in the event of a major disaster. The Southwest Kansas Regional Emergency Planning Council requested the agreement stating that in the event of a declared disaster, if there is a request for assistance by another county, city, or township and if the city can provide assistance without unduly jeopardizing the protection of its own community, then such assistance may be given.
A joint city county meeting will be held tonight at 5:30 p.m. in the Rose Room of the Ford County Government Center to discuss the Why Not Dodge? projects. The public is invited to attend.

A baby contest, followed by the Junior Queen and Mr. Hannibal contest, will begin at 9 a.m. today, June 29, at Hannibal Middle School. This is the first event on the Hannibal Jaycees' 58th National Tom Sawyer Days (NTSD) schedule.
Jaycees' contests and programs, along with events sponsored by other clubs and organizations, are scheduled Wednesday, July 3, through Sunday, July 7. Many are at the Jaycees' new permanent event location at 320 S. Third St. (Lyon and South Third).
Several new contests have been added this year. One is a "husband calling contest" at 9:30 p.m. July 3 at Tanyard Gardens. Rhonda Stevenson, NTSD co-chairperson with Jennifer Foster and Bryan Hammock, explained this is a popular state fair event. Wives are invited to "get on stage and holler at your husband about not doing his chores - or you can talk about him being the most fabulous husband ever." Also new this year is Aunt Polly's Tom Calling and Pie Judging contest, at noon July 5 at Tanyard Gardens. The pie bakers may register at 11:30 a.m.
Main events include the Fourth of July parade at 10 a.m. Thursday, after registration at 9 a.m. Candace Miller, parade chairperson, on Friday already had 29 parade entries, and she expected many more. "Most people will sign up that morning. We have a lot of new entries," she said. The entry fee is $10 until July 1, or $15. Plaques will be awarded to three winners of the parade contest, for floats "pertaining to the theme, 'It's hotter than a firecracker,'" Miller said.
The parade will be followed by announcement of the new Tom and Becky at noon in Central Park. Finalists are Keaton Bartz, John Fowler, Cooper Lewis, Nathan Lewton, Ayden Nichols, Emilee Carleton, Olivia Clark, Hannah Laws, Shelbie Mays and Ashlyn Nichols. Lucas Kline and Brooke Burton are the retiring Tom and Becky.
The July 4 fireworks display will be at dusk on the riverfront. The rain date is July 5. This year the fireworks will be provided by the Hannibal Community Promotions Group, a new not-for-profit organization that has raised the needed funds.
One popular event is the Hannibal Cannibal, 5/10/15K run and 5K walk. It will begin at 7 a.m. Saturday, July 6, at the Tom and Huck statue on North Main Street, followed by the Fun Run for children 10 and under at 9 a.m. Online registration is at hannibalcannibal.com.

The local contest, then the Over 30 event, will begin at 4 p.m. July 4. The state contest will be at 4 p.m. July 5 and the national contest at 4 p.m. July 6. The 2012 national fence painting champion is Keaton Bartz of Hannibal (a finalist in the Tom contest this year).
The Kiwanis Club of Hannibal will sponsor its 37th annual Samuel L. Clemens Arts & Crafts Festival in Central Park on July 4 through 6. On July 6 at 4 p.m. the club will have its raffle drawing for a "cash, car or mule" grand prize. Raffle tickets are $20 or three for $50 and may be ordered by mailing a check with a name, address and phone number to the Kiwanis Club, Box 567, Hannibal, Mo. 63401, according to Bill Webber, event chairman.
The frog jump on July 6 will begin at 4:30 p.m. at Third and Church, after an hour of registration. Frogs will be available for rent for a $3 donation, provided by the Boy Scout Troop 100, sponsor of the contest.
Also on July 6 at the same location will be the tricycle and Big Wheel races for children age 3 to 6, with registration at 10:30 a.m. and races at 11 a.m. Prizes will go to the top three winners in eight categories. No chain drives on tricycles are permitted.
This parking lot will also be the location of Jaycee contests including the backseat drivers, Tom and Becky Relay and Mighty "Miss" Raft Race,
The pet show will be at 1 p.m. July 3 in Central Park, after noon registration.
The Tomboy Sawyer contest will be on the old bridge approach on July 6 with registration at 10 a.m. and the contests at 10:30 a.m.

Two winners in each age groups will receive prizes. Age divisions are 0-8, 9-15, 16-21 and 22 and older. For information call Foster at (573) 231-2630.
Also new this year is entertainment by Jay the Balloon Dude and Master Magician at noon July 6 at Tanyard Gardens. Stevenson said "he can make anything. I watched him make a bicycle once."
From 6 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. the Jaycees will host a Fourth of July House Party at Tanyard Gardens with the Hannibal Jaycees DJs, also known as the Nerds, in charge. They are Chris Miller, Glen Irick, Bryan hammock and Chris Powell. Also on July 4, Brian Madrid, a hypnotist, will perform at 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at Tanyard Gardens.
Tanyard Gardens will have band concerts beginning July 3 with Further Ado.
Hammock said another new event is Ladies Night on July 5 at Tanyard Gardens. Mad Hoss Jackson will be the band that night. The July 6 band will be Blackjack Billy.
One event could be cancelled by high water. This is the horseshoe tournament, scheduled at Ringer Park near Bear Creek with qualifying at 9 a.m. July 6 and contests at 9 a.m. July 7.

Business Fitness Trip
Business Fitness Trip
Just because summer is over, doesn't mean you won't be leaving town. And just because you won't be sporting a swim suit for a few months, it doesn't mean you don't need to fit in your jeans through winter. Sure, it can be tough to stick to a workout regimen if your job takes you out of town. But there are plenty of ways to keep up your fitness routine while also breaking up the monotony of your "business" dealings.
Depending on the length of your trip, always try to make some time for you. Nothing can stress you out and make you sick quicker than lack of rest. Some business trips may require more of your time then others but keeping to some sort of fitness plan will help you get through the toughest of days. In addition, getting out and walking around the town counts and can be quite refreshing in the middle of tense times. If yu can squeeze in a walking tour of the town, do it. Get a little history, sight seeing and exercise in in just a few short hours. You'd be surprised just how beneficial that little break can be.
Now, for those of you who get to stay in nice hotels, hotel gyms are a fab place to get in a quick sweat session. In fact, check out this website for reviews on hotel gyms!
If you're not as fortunate as those who can expense a 5 star hotel and your joint has a tiny, or worse, no gym, here are a few things you may want to pack to be sure you can get your groove on, in or out of your room:

2013 got an early welcome Monday in Broomfield — Noon Year style.
The annual kid-focused, family-friendly celebration featured entertainment by Peter Davison, a classically trained ballet dancer, who also is a juggler and physical comedian. And, of course, there was a countdown (to noon, when else), so the kiddos could be part of the New Year's festivities that take place long after their bedtimes.
The event, a tradition at the Broomfield Auditorium, drew another standing-room only crowd to the 295-seat venue. Tickets were sold out in 12 minutes, which has organizers thinking about adding a second show in 2013.

"Overall I thought we wrestled well," head coach Glen Lanham said. "Obviously there are always things we can work on and we'll do that this week, but we're really pleased with how the guys competed. Eight of our guys had winning records and we had a champ and a runner-up and a sixth place so I'm pleased overall. Now we'll get back to it this week and get ready for Michigan State, which will be even tougher."
Hartmann finished the day a perfect 4-0 and gave up just five points total in the four matches to bring home the title. The native of Port Orchard, Wash., started the day with a commanding 6-0 decision over Joe Grisko of Newberry College. He followed by outlasting No. 2 seed Derrick Borlie of ACC rival Virginia Tech, 5-2. Hartmann continued to take down seeded wrestlers, rolling into the title bout with a 3-0 win over No. 3 seed Dan Seidenberg of Rutgers. Up against the bracket's top seed, Antonio Giorgio of North Carolina, Hartmann turned in an outstanding finals performance to post the 6-3 decision for the Hokie Open title.
Bencomo, seeded third in the 184-pound division, also cruised through the first few matches, winning by major decision 12-0 in the opening bout and defeating Indiana's Luke Sheridan 6-2 to earn a spot in the semifinals. Facing second-seeded Turktogtokh Luvsandorj of The Citadel for a chance to move into the title bout, the Phoenix native narrowly advanced to the title match with a 3-1 decision. The final match of the day was even closer as No. 1 seed Dan Rinaldi of Rutgers was able to hold on for a 3-2 decision over Bencomo. The runner-up finish is the best result at the Hokie Open in Bencomo's career.
At 174 pounds, redshirt freshman Trey Adamson posted a 2-2 overall record in his first competition in a Duke uniform. Adamson won his opening match with an 11-4 decision over John Dommert of VMI before narrowly falling to top-seeded Greg Zanetti from Rutgers, 6-5. Adamson added a 14-2 major decision in the consolation bracket, but had his day ended by No. 3 seed Jake Young in a 6-4 decision.
Sophomore Randy Roden competed well at 165 pounds. Roden went 3-2 for the day, capturing three decisions overall. He won twice in the consolation bracket before bowing out with a 5-0 loss to Blake Ridenour of Newberry.
Tanner Hough, coming off of his outstanding rookie season, dropped his season-opening match with an 8-4 decision to Joey Moon of North Carolina. Hough bounced back to win three straight in the consolation bracket before being edged 6-4 by No. 2 seed Zach Neibert of Virginia Tech.
Among the selection of wrestlers wearing the Duke singlet for the first time was redshirt freshman Marcus Cain at 149 pounds. Cain got off to a strong start with three straight wins, including a 15-2 major decision over Chattanooga's Parker Smith to advance to the quarterfinals. Cain's run for a title ended there as No. 7 seed Dylan Cottrell outlasted the Winston-Salem, N.C., native 6-4. He added a win in the consolation quarters, but was stopped by the No. 2 seed this time in Virginia's Gus Sako, 6 -1.
Redshirt freshman Brendan Walsh represented Duke at heavyweight, going 3-2 in his debut as a Blue Devil. After falling into the consolation bracket, Walsh added two more victories, including a 16-2 major decision, but eventually had his day ended with a 5-2 setback to Jared Erickson of Air Force.
A host of wrestlers competed unattached for the tournament. Redshirt sophomore Immanuel Kerr-Brown fared the best with a 7-3 mark at 157 pounds to finish sixth overall. Freshman Brian Dorsey had a strong showing, going 5-2 at 165 pounds. He advanced to the second consolation quarterfinal before losing a 3-2 heartbreaker to Sean Mappes of Chattannooga.
The Blue Devils continue their tough schedule next weekend, traveling to the Michigan State Open Nov. 11.

Well I was just wondering :
What are the primary differences between men and women's forehands.
I believe men's forehands generally use more torso rotation, and a more relaxed wrist..
What do you guys think about the advantages v. disadvantages?
Also, people say Henin's forehand is like a man's forehand.
Is it because mainly her wrist is just relaxed or what?

Kim Kardashian Getting Free Money From Companies For Having Lil Yeezy
Kim Kardashian - Birthday Party - Jet at the Mirage - Las Vegas - 10-26-07
I have pointed this out before on my Twitter account, but rich people get more free stuff than anyone on the planet. The reason is simple it pays to have them representing a company's product or brand. She has made several appearances in Vegas at places like Tao Nightclub.
So, it isn't surprising even though Kimmy is having a baby by her boyfriend while still legally married to Kris Humphries that baby companies are falling all over themselves to give her free gifts.
E! paid her $17 million for a fake wedding, can you imagine how much she will get for having Kanye West's baby?
Bel Bambini a baby shop in LA that is known to be frequented by celebrities has gotten the jump on everyone by sending Kimmy a $1000 gift certificate.
I think the $1000 was worth the exposure because the story is on TMZ and other major outlets. Meanwhile the Dollarnaires will need coupons for 2 for 1 diapers or just borrow some from Antonio Cromartie.

WICHITA—They're the kind of games Kolton Schenker loves to pitch. The kind of games where every little play counts.
And for Monday's pitching duel between Schenker and Collegiate's Max Moxley, two players who are familiar with each other, this game needed extra innings to be decided.
"I've pitched against that kid probably 20 times, and it's been just about like that every time," Schenker said, "and I was just glad to get the win."
Schenker and Moxley pitched shutouts through seven innings in Game 1 of Augusta's baseball team's first game against the Spartans. It wasn't until the eighth when Mason Hiser slid home after a passed ball that a run was even put on the scoreboard. Collegiate gave the Orioles a bit of a scare in the bottom half of the inning, but Tyler Roberts came through with a save to finish the 1-0 victory.
"Great game. It's great for the kids," coach Doug Jefferson said. "We didn't make any mistakes and they did. We capitalized on the two mistakes there on wild pitches and passed balls."
Ian Rogers pitched four solid innings and the offense struck hard for a 4-0 lead after two innings as the Orioles went on to prevail in Game 2 by a score of 6-3 to complete the sweep. Augusta is 4-0 to start the season.
In the opener, Schenker struck out eight batters in commanding fashion. He only allowed two hits and let only a few more balls even leave the infield most of the game. He walked three batters.
"My split was on pretty good, and I was kind of getting around my curve ball," Schenker said.
Schenker had great defense backing him up. Chase Winter, who hit the ground several times to make catches, had a superb day fielding the ball.
"Kolton threw a great game, Chase Winter made, I don't know how many plays, over there at second base. Everyone stepped up," Jefferson said.
"It's nice to have those, and the young kids learn from that," Jefferson said of Winter's effort.
Even on one of Collegiate's three hits, Michael Albright came within a step or two of making a sensational diving catch for the out.
"It's just great to see guys behind you that are making that effort," said senior catcher Tyler Roberts, who made some gritty defensive plays as well.
The Orioles had two baserunners on with no outs to start the second inning, but they didn't execute a bunt quite the way they would've liked as they got caught in a double play.
Similarly to Schenker, Moxley certainly had his moments of brilliance. Moxley finished with eight strikeouts of his own and allowed just three hits and three walks.
But in the eighth inning, mistakes cost Collegiate. Mason Hiser drew a lead-off walk, then moved to second on a bunt by Winter. With Roberts at the plate, Moxley threw a wild pitch on one play, then had a ball get by the catcher as Hiser moved around the bases and slid home for the game winner.
Hiser had a hit and two walks for the Orioles.
"I just wanted to hit the ball because I didn't hit the ball very well against El Dorado," Hiser said.
"We have hitters who can hit the curve ball," Hiser added about the team's offense. "He always threw first-pitch fastball, second pitch curve."
Michael Albright had a base hit and probably would've had a two-RBI hit if a shot he made carried a few more feet into centerfield. Connor Hurst had a single, as well.
"It's a good win, especially what we did in the first one, having the composure to get that one score and then hold them," Roberts said.
In Game 2, Schenker got his only hit of the day—a solo shot over the right-field wall in the first inning for his second home run of the season.
In the second, Hurst and Hiser both had RBI base hits during a three-run inning for a 4-0 Oriole lead.
Rogers kept the shutout going until the start of the fifth, when he had to leave the game with what he said were cramps. Collegiate's Forrest Short later connected on a two-RBI double and Moxley added an RBI single in the inning to cut Augusta's lead to 6-3.
Jacob Johnson extended the Orioles' lead with an RBI single in the seventh to score Albright, who got on with a base hit.
Roberts drew two walks and had a sacrifice RBI. Hurst was 2-for-3 with a walk and a run. Albright and Winter were 2-for-4.
Though Collegiate made it interesting, Hiser closed out the game with five strikeouts, two hits and two runs.
"That's one of the things I told them we really got to work on is how to continue that and put teams away instead of letting them back into it," Jefferson said.
Augusta will play its home opener Thursday against Circle. The doubleheader starts at 4 p.m

Teaching a practical skill.
In the not-too-distant future my 16-year-old daughter, Anna, will begin taking a second semester of classes at Hannibal-LaGrange University.
College courses at 16?
While smart, my daughter is not one of those prodigy kids that you periodically hear of who earn a doctorate before they can legally drive. Anna is participating in a program that allows high school-aged youngsters to take classes whose credits can be applied to both their secondary and collegiate transcripts.
The program wouldn't mean anything if Anna couldn't handle the academics. Fortunately, during Anna's first semester she did well in the classroom (ask her for grade details) despite taking some challenging courses.
And while my wife, Nancy, and I are thankful our daughter is taking advantage of this educational opportunity, Anna's learning does not end on the HLGU campus.
Nancy has made it a point to teach Anna a number of skills - cooking, sewing and how to do a load of laundry, etc. - that will prove beneficial when she eventually ventures out into the real world.
Is it the most practical bit of information to know? Those who say "no" either still live at home where mama performs these services, have a spouse willing to provide home-cooked meals and clean clothes to wear, or eats out regularly and visits the cleaners weekly.
While most of these skills have been taught to Anna by her farsighted mother, on occasion I play the role of instructor. Such was the case following the Dec. 20 winter storm that left a coat of ice on streets and highways of Northeast Missouri.
Obviously the most important lesson someone can be taught on how best to handle a situation like that is: Stay indoors until the streets are cleared. Of course, that's not an option for everyone. Consequently, people need to learn how to drive on surfaces best suited for ice skating or hockey.
Last year after Anna gained her driving permit, hardly a flake of snow fell, meaning there was a gap in her behind-the-wheel training. And while my daughter has driven in rain, the difference between a wet street and one covered in ice is enormous.
The day after the recent storm, Anna and I ventured out. Because of the Street Department's efforts, plus the sun's reappearance, most primary and secondary streets were already snow/ice free. But I wasn't about to start Anna out on a public street.
Anna and I would up on the open, yet still ice-covered parking lot next to Clemens Field. I started off by making some loops on the frozen surface, showing my daughter what to do and what not to do when a vehicle starts scooting. We then switched seats.
Anna did really well, hardly spinning a wheel. In fact, about the only time the car slid with Anna driving was when I had her do something like apply the brakes full force, to give her experience at handling a skid.
As Anna made loop after loop I noticed a vehicle departing from the Cavemen offices. It was John Civitate, the team's general manager. I climbed out of the car to explain why we were puttering around the parking lot.
John didn't mind us using the lot for training. In fact, he thought getting my young driver some ice time was a good idea. John shared that he had just gotten a text from his daughter, a recent MU grad who is now living in Kansas City.
According to John, his daughter was thanking him for having taught her how to drive on ice since it was obvious to her that a number of city folks hadn't learned that important and practical skill.
Maybe some day I'll receive such a call from Anna.

quote:Originally posted by Beans15Couple of things:Alex, Vancouver is still Canada's most hated team. Don't worry, the reputation is safe. However, Montreal is quickly making the Canucks look like a classy organization.Pasty, yes someone should have handled Alfredsson after firing the puck at Neidermayer the same way someone should handled Gorges after he did the same thing. Both moves are pathetic regardless of who is involved. AlexNux, loved the Paulrus name. Perfect!!To all, Ottawa is not completely faultless in this situation but they are far from being the aggressor. I think the NHL will regret not doing something after the last game and if the score gets out of hand during the next game, someone is likely to get hurt. And that will be on the NHL for their inaction.
quote:Originally posted by Alex116quote:Originally posted by Beans15Couple of things:Nux, loved the Paulrus name. Perfect!!Why does he (nuxfan) always get the credit!!! In fairness, i read the term "Paulrus" elsewhere. Can't recall if it was in an article, or on some other comment board such as "Yahoo"?

quote:Originally posted by Alex116quote:Originally posted by Leafs81Good call by Maclean. After all the bad blood you just want the buzzer to go off, get your players out of the way and make them go congratulate their goalie.I don't understand how calling a timeout is helping to speed things up which is essentially what you've suggested here??? I didn't see the game so i can't really comment one way or another, but i saw Maclean's comments after, and after watching him comment then and after the Eller incident and subsequent Prust remarks, i wonder, is there something wrong with him? I'm being serious, he seems kinda strange? I don't know what it is, but he talks funny or something, almost like he's drunk or confused? Hard to explain, dude just seems a little....um, i dunno, i don't wanna say something offensive so i'll just leave it at that.....

quote:Originally posted by slozoFolks - a timeout is a legal move by a coach. He has two to use at any time.Everything else attached to why he should or shouldn't have called a timeout is a moot point."Take off, eh?" - Bob and Doug
quote:Originally posted by Guest2413I sure hope someone on Ottawa puts Josh Goerges in the hospital after firing a slapshot (on purpose) at a player. Therian and Montreal can acuse no one of being classless.How classy is it to call for a stick measurement in the final minute of a playoff game. ie 1993 cup finals vs L.A. Believe me there are reasons why they are the most hated team in Canada.
quote:Originally posted by dgg1412Maclean is fast becoming one of my fav. coaches. He is in the heads of the Habs and there fans. No problem at all with the time out, after all the head hunting and running of players that the Habs were doing making sure that your players won't be getting involved in a fight at the end was a smart move. Loved the interviews with him great answers. This should be the coach of the year. Sens in 6.
quote:Originally posted by Guest5091I don't mind the time out one iota and I would have done the same.Ottawa had 10 players in total left, 5 of which are tired.Montreal had 11 players in total left, 5 of which are tired.Montreal puts out their toughest guys they had left, which happened to be rested. Ottawa has the option of either putting out all their remaining skill players or take the time out or rest their remaining tough guys with a timeout and put them out again, with whatever other player to fill in the holes (ie: Turris). If you saw the alignment at that faceoff, every senator was way back at the red line except for the center that had to be there for the faceoff... and then Montreal took the puck and purposely took a slapshot at Turris.Taking the time out was a no brainer and Therrien was being a crybaby. Particularly after how the Habs instigated the line brawl (and lost all 5 fights, lol), it feels like Montreal were just being petulant. They instigated almost everything out of frustration because Ottawa played them very tough in the first period, even taking a few penalties for it.If Therrien's biggest embarrassment was the time out, he missed one heck of a game. That said, by focusing on that he's just trying to take attention away from how poorly his guys played, how Price had a .800 save percentage, etc. He's deflecting, as a good coach should. I don't know if there's a coach good enough to deflect everything after that gong show, though.
quote:Originally posted by Guest9848Prediction P.K. Subban gets traded early in the off season.
quote:Originally posted by Guest9848How does a timeout protect his players? he did it to embarrass the losing team and everyone knows it.

Putting words into his mouth to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Montreal sucked last night. They played dirty and displayed nothing resembling professionalism. Why should they expect Ottawa and their coaching staff to take it easy on them?The Habs and their players and coach were embarrassing themselves on and off the ice.

Longtime executive director Eric Lombardi will step down from his position at Eco-Cycle at the end of the year and be replaced by Suzanne Jones, a Boulder City Council member with a long career in environmental advocacy.
Lombardi, who has been the executive director of the recycling and zero-waste advocacy organization for 24 years, will lead a new international effort called Eco-Cycle International. It will provide media materials, a one-stop information and networking website portal and consultants to promote zero-waste programs in other countries, especially in the developing world.
Lombardi took Eco-Cycle from a financially struggling nonprofit in the late 1980s to a stable enterprise that invested in new technologies and became a leader in the zero-waste movement.
When Lombardi took over in 1989, he knew he needed to run Eco-Cycle like a business if it was to achieve its environmental goals. He sensed that recycling was about to become mainstream and wanted Eco-Cycle to have the facilities to manage larger waste streams.
He persuaded the city and large commercial clients to accept a fee structure that amounted to cost plus 10 percent, and that 10 percent went into new equipment, research and innovation.
Lombardi said he is particularly proud of the establishment of the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials, or CHaRM, and of Eco-Cycle's role in developing new technologies for sorting single-stream recycling. Many new kinds of equipment were developed through trial and error in Eco-Cycle's "skunkyard" and then used by other recycling facilities.
"This is a perfect time for Eco-Cycle and Eric to be making this transition," Lombardi said. "I pretty much accomplished what I wanted to accomplish for Eco-Cycle by getting the infrastructure in place. It's a good time for Eco-Cycle and Boulder County to pay more attention to the culture shift and the government rules around how waste is treated in the marketplace."
Eco-Cycle wants to raise more public awareness of the potential for recycling to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the need for new raw materials and to move to more widespread commercial recycling and composting.
Eco-Cycle has proposed that Boulder lead the way by requiring commercial recycling. Current estimates are that only 17 percent of Boulder businesses recycle.
Jones said she sees her new role at Eco-Cycle as complementing her work on the City Council to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow climate change through the development of a municipal electric utility and the promotion of alternative modes of transportation.
Jones was previously regional director for The Wilderness Society and made her career in environmental advocacy.
Jones called the job with Eco-Cycle an "evolution" in her conservation work and an opportunity to work on shifting cultural attitudes toward waste, which could be a valuable resource for the future.
"I think of it as the third leg of the stool when we talk about reducing use of energy -- use of energy in our buildings, use of energy in our vehicles and then use of energy in our consumption and waste management," she said.
Lombardi said Jones' experience dealing with governmental agencies would be valuable as Eco-Cycle tries to change the recycling landscape and get closer to zero-waste.
Jones said she would have to manage several different hats as both a City Council member and the head of an important nonprofit agency advocating for policy changes.
Jones said she will recuse herself when appropriate and handle other areas with "transparency and disclosure."
Jones said she is working with City Attorney Tom Carr to develop a written protocol for handling issues that involve Eco-Cycle.
However, Eco-Cycle's goals are very similar to the city's own waste management goals, Jones said.
"Eco-Cycle is a nonprofit with a mission that aligns very closely with the city's own waste goals," she said. "In that sense, we're moving in the same direction."
Jones said she would like the city to move toward mandatory commercial recycling and composting, but she wants to work with the business community to do it in a way that is not onerous and could even help some businesses.
The next frontiers for Eco-Cycle, Jones said, are to make clearer the connections between consumption and waste, including the ways waste can become a resource, increasing commercial recycling and composting and increasing composting across the board, so that less organic material goes to landfills, where it releases methane as it decomposes.
Lombardi will head up Eco-Cycle International, which will work with government officials and entrepreneurs in other countries to develop zero-waste programs and business opportunities. The spin-off will create a web portal that will be a source of information and training on zero-waste community solutions and will allow members to talk to each other and share experiences. The enterprise will also offer "planet mechanics," consultants who can be hired to work with local communities on zero-waste solutions.
Lombardi also plans to write a book and spend more time at conferences, where he hopes to spread the zero-waste message to more people.
"Waste is not a problem," he said. "It's a resource."
