RBHS eyes millions in upgrades
Work is part of 10-year life safety survey
by Bob Skolnik November 19, 2013 January 29, 2021
Riverside-Brookfield High School officials could spend a little more than $14 million over the next 10 years in life safety and other capital improvements to the school, according to report submitted by the school's architect.
The architect, Carrie Matlock of the firm DLA, recently completed a life safety survey of the school, something the state requires at least once every 10 years. In her report, Matlock identified numerous areas of the school that needed work, including approximately $6.9 million in life safety improvements, $3.8 million in capital improvements and $3.5 million in operations and maintenance projects.
About $2.2 million of the work was labeled high-priority work that should be done in the next year.
Of that amount, about $1.5 million was identified to modernize the school's football stadium, which has experienced serious structural decay, including cracking concrete and asphalt as well as old, rotting wood bleachers. New bleachers would include railings that are now required. The wood bleachers on the visitors' side of the stadium have rotting floorboards and open bottoms that also need to be addressed.
About $600,000 would be spent to construct completely new home bleachers that could seat 1,600 people on the west side on the stadium. The home bleachers are well beyond their useful life and pose a safety concern due to the deteriorated concrete, according to a letter Matlock sent to state officials.
The concrete structure under the home bleachers housing a locker room should also be replaced, according to the report. The concrete and asphalt surfaces in that structure and elsewhere in the stadium are cracked.
"The architect is submitting a proposal to the state showing that it would be cheaper to replace the structure than to repair the structure," said District 208 Superintendent Kevin Skinkis.
The school board will likely approve the life safety report at its meeting on Dec. 10.
While working on the stadium, a new artificial turf football field and a new track would also likely be installed. The current artificial turf field was installed in 2006 as the first project of the $66 million renovation and expansion of RBHS. The field has a natural life span of 10 to 12 years, but the existing field has had problems with bubbling and puddling after heavy rains.
The track around the football field will likely be resurfaced. New tennis courts will eventually be built to replace the existing courts, which are marred by cracks in the surface.
It makes sense to address all these issues at once, Skinkis said.
"If we're going to tearing up the stadium and the tennis courts, we don't want to go and do all that work and then realize we need to tear up the synthetic turf," Skinkis said. "You might as well do it all at one time."
Other intermediate needs identified in the report are new roofs over some of the older parts of the school.
"These are all items that were not addressed in the renovation," Skinkis said.
Not every project listed by Matlock will necessarily be done.
"There are projects built in that we may never do," Skinkis said.
The work eventually undertaken by the high school will likely eat up all or part of the $8.9 million capital development grant RBHS is expected to receive soon from the state of Illinois. That grant was applied for in 2002, but not released by the state until August.
RBHS has not received the money yet, as state officials are demanding more paperwork.
The school's interim chief financial officer, Tim McGinnis, is sending in what school officials hope will be the final paperwork necessary for the state to release the money.
Skinkis said that he hopes to get the money soon.
"We're hoping [to get the money] as close to the new year as possible," Skinkis said.
Once the money is in hand, the school board will have decided where to put it.
"That decision has not been made at this time," Skinkis said.
But it is likely that some will likely be put in a life-safety fund and the rest could go into the working cash fund.
Some are hoping that at least part of the $8.9 million will be spent on direct instructional expenses, such as hiring teachers to reverse cutbacks made in recent years.
"I would remind people that the $8.9 million is a refund from the construction project," Skinkis said. "It's just the normal cycle that every 10 years you have to do repair and maintenance to your facility, so I would say that the $8.9 million is aligned with a lot of the repairs that were not done during the $66 million project.
"In regards to restoring some of the things that had to be cut in regards to the educational setting, my administrative team and I have done a good job working on the staffing and doing some other cost-cutting measures so that we have begun to add back teachers."

The National Anthem of the
Kingdom of Romania
Trăiască Regele (Long live the King) was the national anthem of the Principality of Romania and later Kingdom of Romania between 1866 and 1948. The music was composed in 1862 by Eduard Hübsch, an army captain who later became the chief of the music department of the Minister of War. The lyrics were written by the Romanian poet Vasile Alecsandri in 1881, when Romania became a Kingdom.
Trăiască Regele
("Long live the King")
În pace şi onor
De ţară iubitor
Şi-apărător de ţară.
Fie Domn glorios
Fie peste noi,
Fie-n veci norocos
În război.
O! Doamne Sfinte,
Ceresc părinte,
Susţine cu a Ta mână
Coroana Română!
Trăiască Patria
Cât soarele ceresc,
Rai vesel pământesc
Cu mare, falnic nume.
Fie-n veci el ferit
De nevoi,
Fie-n veci locuit
De eroi.
Întinde a Ta mână
Pe Ţara Română!

Did you know that almost one in five children today has experienced serious physical abuse, sexual abuse or severe physical or emotional neglect at some point in their lifetime?
It might be difficult to accept but every child can be hurt, put at risk of harm or abuse – regardless of their age, gender, religion or ethnicity.
The action taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm is everyone's responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and families has a role to play.
For children who need additional help, every day matters. The actions taken by professionals to meet the needs of these children as early as possible can be critical to their future.
That is why safeguarding matters to you and to any organisation where there are children. If you work with children, make sure you are equipped for the job. Take a look at our Safeguarding Children course, and find out how you can help all the children and young people in your care to have the best possible future.


Did a quick search online for tee times for a Friday morning. The search engine threw up Balcarrick, and while the price seemed very reasonable, I presumed the course would be sub-standard based solely on this fact. I looked up Youtube for course details and it looked great on the videos.
We played a three-ball on the Friday morning and the course was very quiet with nobody immediately behind us. The course was in immaculate condition. The fairways were perfectly dry under foot even after heavy rain the previous few days. The greens were on par with the best greens I've ever played on. They were in perfect condition...great credit to the green keepers and ground staff.
After a most enjoyable round we went to the clubhouse for some food. While the clubhouse was showing some signs of age, it was very well kept and the staff were friendly and produced some beautiful meals.
Will I be returning to this course.....absolutely....I consider it a fantastic find, and almost felt like not writing this review to keep it to myself, but I think this club should be given it's fair dues. Well done to all associated with this course...fantastic experience.
Great golf course to play, easy walking course. Nice food served in the bar.


Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has banned a critic from his page on the website for raising his friendship with Tony Blair and support of work funded by the authoritarian Kazakh regime.
Kazakhstan's government sanctioned a foundation called WikiBilim last year, which creates material for a Kazakh Wikipedia. The organisation, which has 25 staff, is backed by Kazakhstan's sovereign oil wealth fund and run by Rauan Kenzhekhanuly, an ex-government official.
The Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organisation that runs Wikipedia, provided a $16,600 grant from visitor donations and Mr Wales named Mr Kenzhekhanuly the first ever "Wikipedian of the Year" in 2011.
Wikipedia contributors in the West have questioned whether the Wikimedia Foundation and Mr Wales should be supporting a project backed by a government that Human Rights Watch said earlier this month was mounting a "growing crackdown on free speech". Independent media outlets have been hauled before courts and shut down.
Last week, Mr Wales denied his or the Wikimedia Foundation's work in Kazakhstan supported the regime.
On his Talk page on Wikipedia, he argued he takes a "thoughtful and nuanced" position on "working with companies and organization in difficult jurisdictions".
"In Kazakhstan, there is a great group of volunteer editors - just like you - who are working in a non-political way with their own government to transition an older encyclopedia into Wikipedia, as well as to recruit quality volunteers," he said.
In a separate discussion on Quora, he added that "no one has produced any evidence of any kind of manipulation of Kazakh Wikipedia".
Mr Wales shut down the discussion on his Talk page, saying it had become "absurd", when critics raised his friendship with Tony Blair, who is advising the Kazakh dictator Nursultan Nazarbayev, reportedly for $13 million. Mr Blair was a guest at Mr Wales' wedding to his former diary secretary Kate Garvey in October, and the men have visited Richard Branson's private island in the Caribbean.
"That's just totally weird and irrelevant," said Mr Wales as he shut down the discussion.
"I have nothing to do with his consulting in Kazakhstan, and I have many political (and religious) disagreements with him, which I'm quite open about.
The discussion was later reopened. He told The Telegraph attempts to link Mr Blair's work with Wikipedia in kazakhstan were the work of "some deranged conspiracy theorists".
The friendship was raised by Andreas Kolbe, a prolific UK-based Wikipedia contributor and frequent critic of the way the Wikimedia Foundation operates. Mr Wales told him to "please stay off my Talk page".
"I've had enough of you. I'll delete anything you post there, and if you persist, I'll ask others to help delete anything you post there," he said.
Mr Wales, who said he was strongly committed to free speech, is due to visit Kazakhstan in 2013 according to Rauan Kenzhekhanuly.
Don"t mention my friendship with Tony Blair"! Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales bans discussion of former PM in new controversy over Kazakh links. Wikimedia Foundation works with Kazakh government-linked foundation on their own version of the site, The regime was this month accused of a 'growing crackdown on free speech' by Human Rights Watch. Mr Wales also questioned about links with Blair, who attended his wedding and with whom he has holidayed.
The Wikimedia Foundation – the non-profit group that runs Wikipedia – last year set up a foundation with Kazakhstan's government to create material for a Kazakh version of the site.
Mr Blair is an advisor to the Kazakh regime, which has been ruled by autocrat Nursultan Nazarbayev since before the country declared its independence from the Soviet Union over two decades ago.
The number of new administrators on Wikipedia has fallen dramatically since what might be considered the site's 'heyday' of 2007.
Administers are able to delete posts, block editors and protect pages, and are one of the site's most valuable assets, particularly on controversial topics such as religious controversy or breaking news stories.
But The Atlantic, reporting from the Wikimania conference held in Washington over the summer, said that the number of administrators and editors were dropping.
Writing for The Atlantic, Robinson Meyer said: 'In October 2005, Wikimedia promoted 67 people to become sysops. 2005 and 2006 were filled with months like this, where 40 or 50 people would become administrators – but since then, their numbers have been dropping off. A few years ago, Wikipedia's oldest stewards started to worry: The number of administrators promoted every month was skidding in the high single digits.
It provided a $16,600 grant from Wikipedia visitor donations to the organisation – also backed by Kazakhstan's sovereign wealth fund – and Mr Wales last year named Mr Kenzhekhanuly the first 'Wikipedian of the Year'.
'In Kazakhstan, there is a great group of volunteer editors – just like you - who are working in a non-political way with their own government to transition an older encyclopedia into Wikipedia, as well as to recruit quality volunteers,' he added.
Mr Wales also hit back at critics who raised questions over his friendship with Mr Blair, whose contract for advising the Nazarbayev regime is worth a reported $13 million.

Why Giorgos Giakoumakis remained a Celtic player beyond transfer deadline - and what happens next
Why Hearts deserve a Grade C- for their season so far
Joel Sked breaks down the season thus far for every team in our series of Ladbrokes Premiership mid-term report cards.
11th Jan 2017, 12:01am
Ian Cathro took over after Robbie Neilson left for MK Dons. Picture: SNS
Click here for the latest results, fixtures and stats>>>
Robbie Neilson's last game was the perfect send-off for all parties. Hearts were tenacious and rampant in front of a reverberating Tynecastle as they defeated Rangers to rise to second place. The performance was everything fans want from their Hearts side. There were also excellent performances in defeats of Inverness and Motherwell at home, while they ended a long run of failing to win at Fir Park.
The Europa League campaign was a disaster, slumping to a home defeat to Maltese opposition. The recruitment left the squad unbalanced and Ian Cathro has had little in the way of a honeymoon period as the club fell out of the race for second-place prior to the winter break. A two-goal lead was surrendered at Dens Park and insipid performances occurred against rivals Rangers and Aberdeen.
Star pupil(s)
Bjorn Johnsen was the one success story from the summer's recruitment drive. He possesses a lot of the qualities required for a striker to succeed at Tynecastle. Jack Hamilton has been impressive between the sticks, and is seen as one of the most promising goalkeepers in the country. John Souttar is continuing to develop into a fine centre-half, getting better at the physical aspect of the game.
The squad needs a better balance. The January window often highlights the failures of the previous summer's transfers. With Callum Paterson's injury, a full-back or two is a must as is a wide player with too many central options. The club's defensive record has been atypical, on three occasions they have conceded three goals away from home with only six league clean sheets.
Grade C-
A few weeks ago and the grade would have been higher, but the recent slump means the team will be fighting off the threat of St Johnstone for fourth place rather than challenging higher. A cup run is imperative to keep fans' interest piqued.

So for some reason I had a bajillion winter squash in my kitchen (well okay like 8 but still… that's a lot at one point for a 2-person household). I had a few butternut squash but didn't want to do the typical roast with cinnamon/brown sugar and butter. I wanted something of substance. Something that had protein and good for you but tasted so sinful. Like any given night, I rummaged through my fridge and found a variety of ingredients, threw it together and literally on the very first bite I was in love!
Now we're talking that kind of 'dirty' love where you feel so guilty about it. You want to tell the world but you keep your mouth closed. That kind of sinful food where you want to plate a big dish of it, go sit in the back of your closet, behind the golf clubs, lights off and eat it all by yourself. And to take it one step further.. you're gonna do it.. lick the plate clean. Yeah, it's THAT good!
Good lord.. that man is going to drive me batty!
With winter squash at it's peak now I HIGHLY recommend this! This is a great pot luck dinner OR OR OR if you have leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, you can most certainly use that in lieu of chicken!
Now if you wanted to be evil and make it truly devlish.. add bacon!
If you wanted you could easily go all veggie but omitting the chicken (and bacon) and maybe adding in some broccoli, cauliflower and cooked Brussels sprouts.
Mix the butternut squash in a bowl with the 1 Tbl olive oil, ½ tsp salt and pepper.
Roast for about an hour or until the squash is extremely tender.
Place in a bowl and mash thoroughly.
While the squash is cooking, season the chicken with 1/2 tsp salt & pepper on each side.
Add in 1 Tbl olive oil.
Add the chicken and cook 7-8 minutes per side (depending on the thickness) or until a thermometer reads 165F.
Set the chicken aside on a plate to rest.
In the same pan the chicken was cooked in, add the butter and shallots.
Cook on low for a few minutes or until the shallots are translucent.
Add in the flour whisking for 1-2 minutes. You want the flour to cook and get almost a slight 'nutty' smell.
Add in the milk and squash whisking until thoroughly combined.
While the squash mixture is cooking slice up the chicken in 1/4" pieces.
Add in the basil, chicken and half of the cheeses.
Stir to combine. If the mixture is too thick, add 1/4 more milk.
Add in the noodles and mix to combine.
Top with the remaining cheeses.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the top is slightly browned.
To kick it up a notch, top with crumbled bacon.

A critique on Report by UN Commission for the Legal Empowerment of the Poor
Stephen Golub (a Law and Development colleague also affiliated with The Asia Foundation) recently published a critique of the Report by the UN Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor. Many of his critiques resonant with my own responses to the report, and he goes deeper and broader in his article. Published online by Cambridge University Press 10 Mar 2009, in the Hague Journal on the Rule of Law, Stephen Golub article is aptly titled, "The Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor: One Big Step Forward and A Few Steps Back for Development Policy and Practice".
A brief summary of some of his main criticisms (which are also based on three other articles):
takes as its starting point the widely questioned and somewhat unproven ideas of Commission co-chair Hernando de Soto;
accordingly attaches excessive importance to legal exclusion and downplays the many other legal and non-legal factors that perpetuate poverty;
ignores prior research and experience that take broader though more modest views of legal empowerment;
pays inadequate attention to gender;
proposes a top-down approach to what it nevertheless claims is bottom-up development;
implies that rational persuasion trumps political power and self-interest; and
adopts often inconsistent assumptions and recommendations
However, Stephen does give credit to the UN, and proposes a focus on lessons learned and channel funding to locally based NGOs:
"The Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor has made a considerable contribution to the international development community by focusing attention on concrete legal needs of impoverished populations. As such, it constitutes a fine start for international, regional and domestic efforts to pull together a legal empowerment agenda...
Going forward, it is important to build on the Commission's good start, but depart from its false and even counterproductive steps; the international community should instead draw on successful country-specific legal empowerment experience from diverse contexts. This features increased investment in civil society efforts to make the rule of law a reality, since such initiatives have a better track record than government-centered programs that mainly rely on elite good will. It more specifically involves enhanced long-term funding for domestic and international NGOefforts, both in the form of legal services for the disadvantaged and by integrating such services into broader socioeconomic development programs. The international community should also support impact-oriented applied research and move toward establishing a Millennium Development Goal for legal empowerment"

Applying For An SBA COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan
Mark Sarlson
Roetzel & Andress
It is expected that all counties within Ohio will receive an economic injury declaration from the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") this week that will enable eligible small businesses in Ohio to apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan in an amount not to exceed $2 million. As of a result of being contiguous to Indiana, the following Ohio counties have been declared COVID-19 disaster areas: Butler, Darke, Defiance, Hamilton, Mercer, Paulding, Preble, Van Wert, and Williams, and eligible small businesses in those counties can now apply for a loan. For a listing of currently SBA declared COVID-19 disaster areas please click here.
If a business is within a declared disaster area, it can apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan provided the business meets certain SBA eligibility requirements including the SBA's size standards that are either based on revenue or number of employees. The business will also need to be physically located in the declared disaster area and suffered losses because of COVID-19. The business will also need to be within an eligible industry based on SBA standards. Hotels, recreational facilities, charter boats, manufacturers, sports vendors, owners of rental property, restaurants, retailers, souvenir shops, travel agencies, and wholesalers are examples of eligible businesses. Private non-profit organizations such as nursing homes, food kitchens, museums, educational facilities, senior citizen centers, daycare centers, playhouses, community centers, shelters, and rescue organizations are eligible types of businesses. Certain types of businesses are ineligible such as the following businesses:
Agricultural Enterprises - If the primary activity of the business (including its affiliates) is as defined in Section 18(b)(1) of the Small Business Act, neither the business nor its affiliates are eligible for EIDL assistance.
Religious Organizations.
Charitable Organizations, businesses considered hobbies, government-owned concerns.
Gambling Concerns (ex: concerns that derive more than 1/3 of their annual gross revenue from legal gambling activities).
Casinos & Racetracks (ex: businesses whose purpose for being is gambling (e.g., casinos, racetracks, poker parlors, etc.) are not eligible for EIDL assistance regardless of 1/3 criteria above.
Real estate developers-establishments primarily engaged in subdividing real property into lots and developing it for resale on their own account.
The application may be completed online or loan applications can be downloaded here and mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155. The SBA will need:
Completed SBA loan application (SBA Form 5 or
SBA Form 5C for sole proprietorships.)
Tax Information Authorization (IRS Form 4506T) for the applicant, principals and affiliates.
Complete copies of the most recent Federal Income Tax Return.
Schedule of Liabilities (SBA Form 2202).
Personal Financial Statement (SBA Form 413).
The SBA may also request:
Complete copy, including all schedules, of the most recent Federal income tax return for principals, general partners or managing member, and affiliates (see filing requirements for more information).
If the most recent Federal income tax return has not been filed, a year-end profit-and-loss statement and balance sheet for that tax year.
A current year-to-date profit-and-loss statement
Additional filing requirements (SBA Form 1368) providing monthly sales figures. (This is especially important for Economic Injury Disaster Loans).
The loans can be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that can't be paid because of the disaster's impact. Presumably eligible uses of proceeds would include rent payments and possibly loan payments although it is not expected that the loan could be used to refinance other loans. Collateral for the loans will be required if available. No specific guidance has been provided as to the calculation of the amount of fixed expenses that will be allowed. Given that President Trump has indicated that the COVID-19 crises may not be under control until August at the earliest, the calculation of fixed expenses through the end of the year does not seem unreasonable.

Trish has 12 years of property management experience under her belt, hence why she is now a Senior property manager as she has extensive knowledge within the industry and legislation.

In July 2017 we were lucky enough to have Trish join our team here at Purple Cow Real Estate in July 2017, bringing her experience and expertise to our Property management department.
Trish prides herself in her time management and her 'people person' skills to ensure that her properties, owners and tenants are managed and well looked after. As she has been a landlord herself Trish understands the stress that landlords can face when things unfortunately go wrong, appreciating the need and urgency in rectifying these unfortunate situations with the RTA, QCAT and or insurance claims and securing new tenancies as quickly as possible.

Kang Jing Rong o comúnmente llamado Kang Kang, es un famoso cantante y presentador de televisión taiwanés nacido el 5 de febrero de 1967 en Kaoshong, Feng Shuan. Fue descubierto por primera vez por el rey del mundo del espectáculo de Taiwán, Zhang Fei (张 菲) durante una actuación en un programa de televisión. Antes de entrar en el mundo del espectáculo taiwanés, Kang había cambiado muchos puestos de trabajo. Fue primero un policía militar (PM), un vendedor, a continuación, por último un cantante de bar durante muchos años. Entró en un concurso de canto y en 1997 ganó el primer lugar con su banda. Lanzaron un EP en ese mismo año.

Biografía
No fue sino hasta 1998 que Kang tuvo la oportunidad de entrar en el mundo del espectáculo. Zhang Fei elogió el trabajo duro Kang al joven artista por su actuación brillante y agudo en su popular programa, Dragon Hermano, Hermano Tigre, diciendo que tenía un futuro brillante como un artista popular. Como resultado, Zhang Fei tuvo al joven actor bajo sus alas, y mostró Kang lo que lo llevó a convertirse en un gran comediante. Al mismo tiempo, la fortuna de Kang golpeó el bote cuando se introdujo a otro presentador de televisión taiwanesa, Jackie Wu (吴 宗 宪), debido a su acción ordinaria de la dirección musical. Inmediatamente firmó un contrato a tiempo completo. Así Kang se embarcó en su primer paso hacia la conquista Showbizz taiwaneses por homing gracias a sus habilidades cómicas y musicales en dos figuras icónicas en el mundo del espectáculo moderno.

FULL MATCH PREVIEW: Ismael returns to Oakwell
Covid deaths decreasing despite Omicron worries
Councillor to step down from beloved roles
Ram-raids prompt police appeal
Enforcement officers 'not doing enough'
A COMMUNITY activist has hit out at enforcement officers employed by Barnsley Council for not tackling 'shocking' litter problems plaguing areas across the town.
Stephen Bullcock, of St John's Road, Kingstone, sent a photobook full of large-scale fly-tipping incidents to about 40 councillors to urge them to take action.
Images in the book were all taken on the 60-year-old's dog walking route around the Kingstone ward on the morning of August 8.
"If this is what I'm finding on my morning walk, then what is the scale of the problem across the rest of Barnsley?" Stephen told the Chronicle.
"The council keep hiding behind Covid-19, and spending money on other things rather than smartening up places which are just a mess.
"There are instances where the council indirectly create their own problems - people put stuff in the wrong bins or they fill them until they're overflowing.
"If the council educated people on how we should use bins and invested in that, then that would save them money on cleaning up after them.
"Some people who are from different countries might not know how we dispose of waste here, and I understand that, I really do, that's not the council's fault or theirs but the council have to take responsibility for it and get people educated.
"The council say they are investigating fly-tipping cases which have been left for weeks and months, but really they're just leaving it longer until they have to get rid of it.
"If they were investigating it, they'd have to take it away to be looked at."
Instances of fly-tipping in the borough are up by more than a third with 5,254 incidents recorded last year, compared to the previous year's 3,893.
But council bosses' claims of removing '100 per cent' of fly-tipping reports within a five-day period have come under scrutiny.
Coun Hannah Kitching raised the issue at a recent overview and scrutiny committee meeting.
"There are ongoing concerns about high incidents of fly-tipping across the borough, and we all understand that the team does its best to respond to and clear incidents as soon as possible," she told the Chronicle.
"However, residents have raised concerns about the way this is reported the quarterly report said 100 per cent of incidents were cleared within five days, but residents know that to not be the case from their own observations and so clearly this figure has caveats."
Coun Jenny Platts, cabinet spokesperson for adults and communities, added: "We continue to take a tough stance on fly-tipping with fixed penalty notices for illegally disposing of waste of up to £400.
"Large fly-tips lead to prosecutions, and many perpetrators have been caught and prosecuted as part of our #EverybodyThink campaign, with a number of vehicles used by fly-tippers seized and crushed.
"Our campaign encourages everyone to recycle more and educates people about how to dispose of their unwanted items and rubbish responsibly.
"When we receive a report about fly-tipping, we aim to have the rubbish removed within five working days.
"It could take longer if hazardous waste is involved.
"If the tipping is on private land, we'll contact the landowner to tell them it needs removing.
"As part of our long-term ambition for a sustainable Barnsley, we will be putting in place a litter strategy.
"This will be developed alongside our communities to educate and change the behaviour of people who feel that it is acceptable to drop litter.
"We will work with residents and other organisations to create solutions to make it as easy as possible for people to throw their litter away responsibly and improve enforcement against littering and other similar crimes."

Despite having only launched 5 or so weeks ago along with the iPhone 4S, hacking Siri has already become something of a spectator sport, with a seemingly endless range of possibilities.
You may or may not have caught our coverage the other day of how hacker plamoni, using the protocol hack of last week to create a proxy server from which to send and receive Siri commands, managed to manipulate his iPhone 4S to control the thermostat.
Off the back of that, another intuitive soul has quite literally revved things up, taking the developments of others to hook Siri up to his Viper car remote, allowing him to use voice commands to turn his vehicle on and off.
While Siri has (and perhaps always will) encourage skepticism, it's hard to remember a feature from Apple with so much promise. To think of the developments made in only one month makes for a very exciting future of voice-recognition.
Aside from the various ports to older iDevices, there's also been the gizmo which detects brainwaves and converts them to Siri commands (long way off being an outright mindreader, but I digress); the parody video of Siri being caught in a marital debate, while humor inducing, suddenly doesn't seem beyond the realms of possibility.
We know now there is no way, despite the work of the talented hackers, that Siri will be fully ported through to the iPhone 4, 3GS, or indeed any other touch-based iDevice due to the typically-Apple hardware adjustments found solely in the latest and greatest iPhone 4S.
That said, hacks like this only go to show that there could be many useful possibilities across the greater gadgetsphere.
