Mo. highway buckles after rail cars hit overpass
Written by Muleskinner Staff
(CHAFFEE, Mo., AP) — A Missouri highway overpass that partially collapsed when rail cars smashed into one of its support pillars after a cargo train collision was about 15 years old and in good condition but just couldn't withstand the impact, a sheriff said.
Seven people in two cars on the overpass were injured, none seriously, when two 40-foot sections of the overpass crumpled early Saturday.
"You're driving down the road and the next thing you know the bridge is not there. … It could have been really bad," Scott County Sheriff Rick Walter said.
The collapse occurred after a Union Pacific train struck the side of a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train at a rail intersection, Walter said. Derailed rail cars then struck columns supporting the Highway M overpass, causing it to buckle and partially collapse.
The derailed rail cars were loaded with scrap metal, automobiles and auto parts.
The National Transportation Safety Board has begun an investigation into the cause of the cargo train collision near Chaffee, a small town southwest of Cape Girardeau.
The two cars were the only ones on the overpass at the time, authorities said.
Five people in the two cars were taken to Saint Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau, as were a Union Pacific train conductor and an engineer. All seven were released later Saturday, hospital spokeswoman Felecia Blanton said.
Blanton said she was bracing for the worst, given the dramatic footage posted online from the early news coverage. She said it was "a real blessing" that the injuries were relatively minor, the most serious being a fracture.
A diesel fire also broke out in one of the locomotives after the collision, but was quickly put out, Walter said. He said a deputy arriving early on the scene pulled the two Union Pacific employees out of the wrecked engine, which became lodged next to the train's second engine.
The accident came more than a week after a commuter train derailment in Connecticut that injured 70 people and disrupted service for days. That accident involved a railroad corridor used by tens of thousands of commuters north of New York City.
In Washington state this past week, a bridge collapsed when a truck driver's load bumped against the steel framework.
NTSB board member Robert Sumwalt said while the investigations into both collapses are in the early stages "there is no similarity" between the Missouri accident and the bridge collapse in Washington, which sent two vehicles and three people falling into the chilly water.
He noted that the Missouri bridge was rated "good" after its last inspection in February.
"This was not because of any lack of integrity of the bridge in southeast Missouri, but because of a train that derailed and had a bunch of rail cars slamming around," he said.
The Union Pacific train was carrying primarily automobiles or auto parts from Illinois to Texas, said UP spokeswoman Calli Hite. She said about a dozen UP railcars derailed but there was no immediate estimate on the damages.
BNSF spokesman Andy Williams said about 12 cars on the 75-car BNSF train derailed. The BNSF crew was not hurt.
Sumwalt said the NTSB investigation to determine a likely cause will include routine testing of railroad employees for drugs and alcohol, testing of the track and rail signals and examinationof the video footage from the front of the train.
Investigators also are expected to scrutinize the bridge's design, Sumwalt said.

I could possibly give a ride. It might be a tight fit though. I might have one other person interested in helping out. uhm. Just let me know when. I know the air port like the back of my hand.
It looks like a build day/weekend is shaping up for the weekend of the 21st. Right now I have an email to Tyler's family, and a PM to Tyler to make sure that weekend will be okay for them. I am waiting for a response back. I also have sent my second email to the Fiero Store now, and am still waiting for a response to see if they will help us out with the fascia. We'll see if they step up or not.
A question has been raised about where members flying in would stay. If there is anyone who would be willing to put up a few members, please let me know, and I will put you in contact with them. Or if someone could do a little research for me on what lodging is available nearby for the members to stay at a decent rate, that would be really helpful.
I also want to publicly thank all of you for stepping up to help Tyler. I know him as little as all of you do, but I want to see this young man sit in a nice running, nice looking Fiero. And I am not going to stop on this until that goal is achieved. Thank you all!
EDIT: I also want to reiterate that BazookaFiero has offered to have all of the parts to ship to him. If you have parts to be shipped for Tyler, please send me a PM so I can forward Bazooka's mailing address to you.
Count me in for any days needed.
I am an auto mechanic here and own a Fiero, so I know my way around cars.
I live just over an hour away from Tyler and Nick.
Will they be landing in Minneapolis? Are we talking for this Nov 21st weekend or later?
I live too far south of Minneapolis for it to be effective, but in Minneapolis there are many hotels. Along interstate 94 there are hotels as well.
What does Tyler have for Tuneage in his Fiero?
I have a nice Alpine CDA-9851 unit (MP3, Motorized Tilt Face and whatnot) to put in..
If someone wants to donate funds for speakers, and maybe a four channel amp, I could do a nice install for him. I would need the appropriate power and audio cabling.
I could even build a quick sub box for under the dash. Give him a rocking system with a 4 channel and dual or single channel sub amp, or a 5 channel amp.
Anyone want to donate to the cause for that? Not as nice as making it 100% functional, but would be a nice upgrade.
Ill talk to a buddy of mine to see what i can do about getting him speekers. I have a good friend who owns an audio shop around here. Ill bring the stuff with me if i can fly out.
Sweet. Being a GT, it has the 4x10s in the dash, and the 4x6s in the B-Pillars. If at all possible, I'd love to set him up with some good quality tunes. The Alpine I have wasn't cheap when it came out, and other than a minor scratch on the faceplate, is in great condition and was only installed for a few months.
Not trying to be picky, but if I can amp this for him with a good 8 inch sub, we could really rock it out.
Ok, I was just contacted Barbie Porter, from local News Paper, Frazee-Vergas Forum. They had done a story about his situation a couple of weeks back, but knew nothing at all of the "Fiero Project". She was very excited to do a story on how everyone is coming together to help. I gathered all the known info from both threads, as well as info from the email I received from Andy. I also gave her Andy's (Forum Coordinator) email address, as well as Nick's (Local coordinator).
Hopefully this will draw more attention to the cause, and bolster some more people to help.
Ok, the seats are covered! (Sorry... baaaddd. punn) I just got off the phone a few minutes ago with Mr. Mike. He said he would gladly help for such a worthy cause!
When they are installed, the seats look like the were upholstered in a factory. I personally feel this is a better option that seats from another donor car, as no matter how good of shape they may be in, the material is still 23 years old. That and just the fact of trying to get 2 seats shipped in is a shipping nightmare. Lastly, there are so many styles and color combination to choose from for a real customized look.
I guess what is needed now, is what color and style seat covers to use.
We could add a bit to the seats..
How about we "upgrade" his seats to Speaker seats, and eliminate the 4x6s in the B-Pillars. Then, while the seats are apart for upholstery, we can swap in some good quality 4" speakers... Something that will last a while yet.
Does it have power locks? Power trunk release? I would assume yes, as it is a GT.
Get a photo of the rear glass as well. I need to know if it is a rear defrost or not.
Frazee Auto Body and Glass has agreed to install the rear window and urethane it into place for us.
EDIT: Karen from Frazee Glass called me back. She spoke with the owner of the shop, Dave, and he has agreed to donate all labor and materials in order to install a new rear window in Tyler's car. We need to provide the rear glass, and he will put it in. We just have to let them know in advance as the install will take approximately three hours.
You speek my language when it comes to car audio dude. I have alpine in all my cars except for the speekers in my fiero.
I always found that the speekers in the b pillers made it sound better with the seat speekers. I have this setup in my GT.
In my case, the B-Pillar speakers fire directly into my ears. Especially the left side. Sounds horribly unbalanced, and very harsh on the ears.
In addition, the Come-on-In hotel a few miles outside of Frazee has agreed to a "Group buy" on double bed rooms for people wanting to help out with this.
I spoke with Jackie there, and she agreed to knock the price from 109 a night to 77 a night for anyone looking to participate in the Fiero event.
I specifically asked about the November 20/21/22 weekend (as I saw it mentioned earlier in the thread). She says they are normally not busy then.
What do you guys/gals say?
I need a list of people willing to head up there for that weekend to see what kind of damage we can do. Once I know how many people will be going up, we can call Jackie and get some reservations set.
I am willing to share a room.
If I had a headliner, seat skins, and the necessary car audio supplies, I could do the interior updates/repairs in a day, or less. Anyone want to step up on these?
In addition, I am really amped (pun intended) to be able to toss a decent sound system in this car for Tyler..
While not required, my goal is a set of front components (5 1/4), rear 4" speakers for the seats, or 4" speaker plates for the B-Pillars (again, I personally prefer the speaker seats, but the B-Pillars will work), and an 8 or 10" subwoofer in the passenger side under the dash. I can build the sub box, just like mine. It will fit in the stock opening, and be carpeted, hanging down in the front of the dash a small amount.
I'd also need a 4 channel amp for the main speakers, and a single or bridgeable amp for the subs. Wiring, blocks and all. I can provide the Alpine head unit, but can't provide much more than that due to my own finances.
Man, this is really coming together! Exciting!
We could laso rewrap his headliner in like say a grey vinyl or somthing. Give the interior that extra omph. Now heres the other question. How are we going to go abot painting this car with the new nose and side skirts?
Rattle can. primer Black. But only the front half!
That's a good question, though. I guess if time is a big factor, it might have to be something a bit less than perfect. Maybe somebody has all the tools to do a good paintjob and can bring them with? With all of us there, we could tape off the car and a garage in minutes!
I am going to contact a friend of mine near by that has a Body Shop.
I`m guessing he will help out with Labor, if we supply the parts.
I will call him when I get off work tonight.
I just got back from Tyler's place and I am uploading pictures now. The car is actually in better shape than what we have anticipated. It still needs work, but Tyler has done work to it since the last time I saw it.
More will come to me as I look at the pictures again, but that is what I have for now boyz!
I could supply the upper intake gaskets when we replace the injectors.
Here is a car for needed parts. Let me know what is needed and if I do not need it to finish my stroker build, I'll donate.
Dosent look as bad as i had pictured. I think this is somthin we could tackel pretty easley. Ill see what i can possabley do about 1/4 windows. I can also install the windshield.
And i cal also pull that whole interior out in about an hour and clean everything up. I need to see what is going to happen with this dashboard i have as i have already promised it to a friend of mine but if he does not need it i will gladley bring it with me and install it.
I might also be able to supply the taillight not to sure which side is good havent seen them since my last inspection.
Pre-booked family plans prevent me from particapating on the re-build, but I would be willing to donate a dash and trunk carpet. The carpet has a paint spot along the bottom but is a lot cleaner and better condition then the oil stained one in the picture.
I would need someone to pickup. Anybody flying in would be 3 to 4 freeway miles out of the way on the way up to Frazee.
You had better bring that trans am in your photo while were ther I to am a firebird owner.
Depends on how much snow is on the ground. Mom bought it brand new its never seen snow. I promised it never would when I got it.
Things are Rolling together guys!!!!
I'll keep truckin though!!!! If it comes down to it I can pull some stuff out of my garage and plug in the Nipco, but I am confident I will find something more suitable.
Hey, using your garage would be SWEET.
Dave could make us his Famous Chilie and Brats !!!
I could bring my Knipco and we could have them in stereo.
You are welcome to send that one if you would like, but I have already agreed to donate my Alpine CDA-9851 MP3/WMA/CD player that is collecting dust.
Kudos though for your willingness to share!
I'd love to set Tyler up with some 5 1/4" in the dash, or possible some quality Kenwood 4x10s that I can amp. Upgrade the rear 4x6" speakers with some 4" plates, and amp those as well, or install speaker seats and upgrade those speakers to 4" matched sets on an amp.
I can build a sub box in a short period of time, and carpet it to mount in the stock location, just like my setup. It would be perfect for an 8" with a dedicated amp.
I can find Amps on Craigslist all day long for good prices, I just don't have the funds to jump on some of them.
Its one of thies cheap pepboys deal 12inch subwoffer set but i have 2 12's and an amp we can use.
The amp would be great.. Get me the make/model number, and I can work it into the config I have in mind.
I have a working boozka tube with a built in amp. I can post pics if needed. Its in my 84 and have gotten used to my 10's.
Wow!!! You guys have really took the ball and rolled with it! John, that is excellent news from Mr. Mike! I feel so helpless over here and that I can't even get the Fiero Store to respond back to my emails. I'm getting kind of dissapointed. I am also sending the Fiero Warehouse an email to see if maybe they would be willing to donate a set of GT Fastback quarter windows for Tyler. I will let you know their response. Synthesis, thank you also for getting that body shop to chip in, and the work on the hotel! Excellent news! If I could ask, someone please take plenty of pictures so I can see how this goes. As it looks right now, my wife and I, as well as katatak will be flying out there shortly after I get home in January, and we can perform some work there as well. This is going way better and faster than I expected. I can't wait to see the look on Tyler's face when he drives this awesome car around after the work is complete. Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to this.
No thank you. It amazes me there are still good people in the world.
Parts list on page 1 updated! Thanks, Anthony!


Welcome. Joining this board is a good source of BC info.
go to 'Events' to find dates for the classes.
Feathered Friends and REI may have some information on other courses.
Just a head's up on some items that you will need - shovel, probe and beacon (which can be rented from Feathered Friends or Marmot Mountain Works).
Those Snowboarder John mentioned are good.
hey, i think the courses mentioned here are good, but if you want alot more info for your money canadia is the way to go. i took a level 1 course here in WA and then did some research and found that canadian standards are the highest in the world so i took a RAC(recreational avalanche course) from the CAA out of vancouver BC just to Qualify for their level 1.I got twice the info as a US level 1 , it was a blast all in the field 4 DAYS OF TOURING AND CAMPING and of course learned a ton .
Don't forget there are Tacoma,Everett and Oly branches of Mountaineers as well. You didn't mention which end of sound you were in.
Also check out the WAC's backcountry travel class. Very good class and has pretty much equivelant coverage as the Mountaineers class plus some.
Farout is right WAC (Washington Alpine Club) has a backcountry course that starts soon - applications must be postmarked by 1/4.
I meant 1/24 for the date.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I really appreciate the help!!! I'll keep you posted with the class I take and what I thought of it. By the way, I live in Seattle and I'm a snowboarder. Perhaps, after I've taken the proper classes and have all the equipment, I'll see some of you out there! Thanks again for the help.
Hey, if you're really bored at work or something....I could always use suggestions on some of the equipment I should get(shovel, probe, snowshoes, backpack...)! I just plan on going to REI for everything because their staff is pretty knowledgeable, but of course I could always any tips!!!
here's another plug for the wac class. even if you have to snowshoe, while it will be less fun, you'll still learn the same amount!
We've had lots of good feedback so far this year (I'm one of the assistant Instructors for the program) and we're having lots of fun up here.
Hope you find what you're looking for. Be safe.
I agree good site Luke. Anna Ron's mention of the Canadian instruction is very true and highly recommended for a level I or II. Crystal Mtn's Pro Ski Patrol Director Paul Baugher course through the Northwest Avalache Center is another great one. He's one if not the most qualified instructor in the Northwest and has an extensive detailed program. Good luck!
I know this is a bit off topic, but I wanted to let you know that nwsnow.org has been updated to a new and improved site!
We'll have a very detailed list of avalanche courses for next season online as the schedules become available. For now the list of 01/02 courses are still available for reference. Most of them will be repeated next year in similar formats.


Beth & Cory's Mom: Cory Got His License!
In all the 'excitement' of the tornado, I forgot to mention that Cory got his driver's license. Actually, he got it the day after Jeffrey and I got back from Vegas - so I had plenty of time to mention it (a few days, anyway), but I didn't. Sometimes I just don't get to things in a timely manner. Why does real life always seem to get in the way?
Anyway, it was about time the boy got his license. Last year we just renewed his learner's permit. Partially it was because we didn't have to pay for the insurance. Visit autoinsurancequotes.com and you'll see that paying insurance for a teenage boy isn't cheap. It wasn't just the insurance, though. Unlike his sister Beth, who wanted to drive every chance she got from the minute she got her temps, Cory never seemed to care whether he drove or not. Often he'd just rather sit in the back seat and read whenever we went someplace. And, since he didn't have any real need to drive, he didn't really need to get his license.
Since he's gotten it, it's been pretty nice, though. It seems he's had graduation parties and other events practically non-stop - and we haven't had to drive him to any of those things! So, yes, it's convenient. It was also nice that when he went to Whitewater yesterday for his college orientation and registration I didn't have to take him and then go back later to pick him up. I'm not sure what kind of autoinsurancequotes.com we got from our insurance agent so I don't know how much this is going to cost us, but I guess it's just part of life.
We were going to give Beth the Buick and get her off our insurance when she moved out, but we had some issues with emissions and repairs, and I had already paid for the license plate sticker, which the DOT was not going to refund, so we decided to wait until September when it's time to pay the insurance again. Then she can get her own autoinsurancequotes.com and pay her own expenses, and we'll only have to pay for Cory. Waiting also gives her a chance to get used to paying her own bills like rent and utilities before adding another one.

Indian crew of Ever Given face ARREST as Egyptian authorities probe crash on Suez Canal
Posted on April 9, 2021 April 8, 2021 Author tupambaenet	Comments Off on Indian crew of Ever Given face ARREST as Egyptian authorities probe crash on Suez Canal
The pilots and crew onboard the massive container ship that blocked the Suez Canal could face arrest and be 'made scapegoats' for the incident as investigators continue to search for the cause of the grounding that strangled global trade.
Union officials fear the 25-man Indian crew onboard the 220,000-ton Ever Given, which found itself wedged across the crucial waterway in Egypt last Tuesday, will fall under increasing scrutiny from the Suez Canal Authority, with claims that the workers could soon be placed under house arrest until the investigation is completed.
Egyptian maritime officials are expected to seize the Suez Canal crew as they carry out their probe, with one expert telling Indian media that investigators would listen to recordings of mariners' conversations in the lead-up to the blockage.
Investigators will also question the two Egyptian pilots who were aboard the Ever Given as canal chiefs look at the possibility of 'human error'.
However the Indian government and the Indian seafarers' organisations fear the crew could face criminal negligence charges and jail sentences for the six-day blockage, which held up an estimated £6.5 billion in global trade every day.
'There is a clear danger that the crew will be made scapegoats,' a senior member of the shipping industry said.
The pilots and crew onboard the 220,000-ton Ever Given could be arrested and 'made scapegoats' for the container ship's grounding, it has been claimed.
The ship was pulled up the waterway on Monday afternoon and opened the door for billions of dollars' worth of goods to resume their progress through the canal.
Salvage teams celebrated as they pulled the Ever Given towards the Great Bitter Lake, a wide stretch of water where Egyptian authorities say the ship will undergo technical inspections
Meanwhile Captain Sanjay Parashar, a member of India's National Shipping Board (NSB), said: 'Firstly, it has to be ascertained as to how the giant ship ran aground.
'Facts can be checked by examining and listening to conversations in the ship voyage data recorder; one can then come to an understanding as to what caused the mishap.'
The ship's Japanese owner has said that it would be part of the investigation but refused to discuss possible causes of the accident, including the vessel's alleged high speed.
It comes after photos and tracking sites showed the Panama-flagged Ever Given being pulled up the waterway on Monday afternoon, opening the door for billions of dollars' worth of goods to resume their progress through the canal.
Salvage teams were blaring their foghorns in celebration as they pulled the Ever Given towards the Great Bitter Lake, a wide stretch of water where Egyptian authorities say the ship will undergo technical inspections.
Egypt's president Abdel Fatteh al-Sisi had earlier declared that 'Egyptians have succeeded in ending the crisis' despite the operation's 'massive technical complexity.'
But it was unclear how long it would take to deal with the backlog, with the world's largest container firm, Denmark's Maersk, warning that 'it could take six days or more for the complete queue to pass'.
Yesterday trapped container ships were seen snaking their way through a newly unblocked Suez Canal as the week-long crisis on the waterway reached its end.
Vessels anchored for nearly a week were sailing up the narrow passageway where the 220,000-ton Ever Given had been wedged since last Tuesday, causing a massive traffic jam that strangled global trade.
Easing tailbacks to the north and south, 113 ships were due to navigate the unblocked section of canal by 8am local time on Tuesday, Suez Canal Authority chief Osama Rabie told reporters.
He praised the speed of the salvage operation on the MV Ever Given as 'record-breaking', claiming it would have taken three months anywhere else in the world.
Canal services provider Leth Agencies said the 1,300ft Ever Given had been 'safely escorted to Great Bitter Lake' by the authority, which said it was now 'anchored' ahead of an investigation and out of the path of other ships.
The bow of the Ever Given was finally dislodged from the channel's bank on Monday and towed up the waterway after tugboats had straightened the vessel in an early-morning operation and dredgers had vacuumed away large chunks of sand.
'The relief is palpable that we won't see a long-term closure of what is an important trade route,' said market analyst Michael Hewson at CMC Markets UK.
But Guy Platten, the secretary-general of the International Chamber of Shipping, told BBC Radio 4 that legal issues arising from the blockage could last for months as people try to recover the cost of delayed or expired goods.
The Liberian-flagged container ship YM Fountain was among those to sail up the narrow section of the Suez Canal which had previously been blocked by the Ever Given in a damaging six-day stoppage.
The US-flagged Maersk Denver was also navigating the canal piled high with containers as traffic resumed a week after the Ever Given blockage which caused a traffic jam of more than 400 vessels on the busy waterway.
Egyptian canal authorities said more than 100 ships were due to navigate the unblocked section of canal by 8am on Tuesday, carrying billions of dollars' worth of goods out of a traffic jam
Ships pass through the Suez canal for first time in nearly a week

Kraft introduces bill aimed at cracking down on massage parlors
By Jake Thomas, Columbian political reporter
Published: February 3, 2019, 6:01am
Rep. Vicki Kraft, R-Vancouver Photo Gallery
Anne McEnerny-Ogle recalls several years ago after Oregon tightened its laws over massage facilities she started noticing businesses that would pop up in strip malls in Vancouver. She observed how these businesses often had odd hours and customers who would park in nearby neighborhoods.
When neighbors got involved, they realized these businesses were fronts for possible illegal sexual activity and human trafficking, said McEnerny-Ogle, who has since been elected mayor of Vancouver. Since then, she said local and state government have been nibbling away at the problem.
"This is an old problem that our officers have been working on for years, oh my gosh," McEnerny-Ogle said.
Now, legislation is advancing in Olympia intended to give police officers one more tool to crack down on unscrupulous massage parlors that law enforcement and neighborhood activists have long grappled with in Clark County.
'Without photo ID'
Since the problem emerged, both the city of Vancouver and Clark County passed ordinances in 2014 requiring businesses that offer massage therapy and reflexology to provide proof their employees are licensed by the state. A year later, lawmakers passed a bill targeting owners who allow the unlicensed practice of massage therapy or reflexology.
But McEnerny-Ogle said that some of these massage parlors found a loophole to evade scrutiny.
When law enforcement officers show up to a questionable massage parlor, employees show various state certificates allowing them to practice massage therapy or reflexology. None of the employees have identification verifying they are the legitimate holder of the certificate, she said. Currently, the employees are not required to have identification that matches their professional certificate.
"You can't even get into Costco without your photo ID, and yet we are not requiring individuals who are touching your body to show you photo ID," McEnerny-Ogle said, speaking before a Jan. 18 hearing of the Senate Health and Long Term Care Committee.
State Rep. Vicki Kraft, R-Vancouver, said law enforcement officers have told her they've heard certificates being printed off as soon as they enter a massage parlor.
In response, Kraft has introduced House Bill 1082. The bill is intended to remedy the situation by requiring massage or reflexology therapists to carry government-issued identification that matches their certificate. Sens. Annette Cleveland, D-Vancouver, and Lynda Wilson, R-Vancouver, have sponsored Senate Bill 5097 as companion legislation.
"This bill addresses organizations that may appear from the outside to look like a legitimate massage or reflexology establishment," Kraft said at a Jan. 25 hearing of her bill before the House Health Care and Wellness Committee. "However, on the inside, there are very different activities taking place, some that are part of sex trafficking operations in which women are forced to work in an illegitimate and illegal practice."
Kraft told the committee the bill would help law enforcement and health inspectors determine if the business is legitimate.
During the committee hearing, Chief Assistant Vancouver City Attorney Jonathan Young said he regularly hears frustrations from officers who make contact with businesses suspected of illegal activity but are stymied when the employees show a massage or reflexology certificate.
"This isn't just a Vancouver problem," Young said. "This is a statewide problem."
During the hearings, both Kraft and McEnerny-Ogle said the legislation would protect legitimate massage and reflexology therapists. Melanie Stewart, a representative of the Washington chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association, told both the Senate and House committees her group supports the legislation.
Kraft introduced legislation during last year's 60-day session, but it ended up stalling. During the Legislature's current 105-day session, both bills have passed out of committee.

BATON ROUGE, La. – Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals says 334 people have reported illnesses blamed on oil or dispersants from the BP PLC Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The figures released Monday include 250 people — or about three-quarters of the total — involved in spill cleanup or offshore work, and 84 people in the general public.
DHH says doctors cannot verify reported exposures. Common complaints include headache, dizziness, nausea, weakness or fatigue, and throat irritation.
The department summarizes reports of visits to doctors and emergency rooms, treatment by ambulance crews and calls to hot lines and poison control centers.
Those often come in weeks after a visit, so Monday's figures cannot show whether numbers have dropped since July 15, when a cap blocked the flow of oil.

It was called WorldWideWeb (no spaces) and was later renamed Nexus. What is website? web site: a computer connected to the internet that maintains a series of web pages on the World Wide Web; A website, is a set of related web pages containing content such as text, images, video, audio, etc. A website is hosted on at least one web server, accessible via a network such as the Internet or a private local area network through an Internet address known as a Uniform Resource Locator. All publicly accessible websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web.
16 Web Page A webpage is a document, typically written in plain text interspersed with formatting instructions of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML, XHTML). A webpage may incorporate elements from other websites with suitable markup anchors. Web pages are accessed and transported with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which may optionally employ encryption (HTTP Secure, HTTPS) to provide security and privacy for the user of the webpage content. The user's application, often a web browser, renders the page content according to its HTML markup instructions onto a display terminal 16
17 The first web browser was invented in 1990 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. It was called WorldWideWeb (no spaces) and was later renamed Nexus. In 1993, browser software was further innovated by Marc Andreessen with the release of Mosaic (later Netscape), "the world's first popular browser", [5] which made the World Wide Web system easy to use and more accessible to the average person. Andreesen's browser sparked the internet boom of the 1990s. [5] The introduction of Mosaic in 1993 – one of the first graphical web browsers – led to an explosion in web use. Andreessen, the leader of the Mosaic team at NCSA, soon started his own company, named Netscape, and released the Mosaic- influenced Netscape Navigator in 1994, which quickly became the world's most popular browser, accounting for 90% of all web use at its peak (see usage share of web browsers).

THIS PROGRAMME is aimed at providing learners who do not progress to further education and training with the technical and life skills which will enable them to find employment. It currently comprises accredited hospitality, computer and life skills training undertaken at the HCET Youth Development Centre in Colesberg, as well as a Farm Workers Apprenticeship Programme.
This programme currently comprises a one-year course in Culinary Arts, presented by a qualified chef. The course is accredited by City & Guilds. It is open to all young people in Colesberg and surrounding towns. Applicants undergo a selection process.
The course includes both theory and practice, much of the latter done at hotels, retaurants and guest houses in surrounding areas. Each section of the course concludes with both practical and theoretical examinations. Graduates are provided with diplomas from City & Guilds.
Graduates are assisted in compiling their CVs and finding their first jobs. Their subsequent progress is monitored for three years. The Trust rewards graduates who persevere in their first jobs for more than a year with a bonus of R500 a year.
Hospitality training has been amplified with computer training, which gives trainees access to a broader range of job opportunities. A computer centre has been added to the Youth Development Centre. The training programme is linked to the SkillsWise centre in Cape Town for online tests and certification.
Farm Workers' Apprenticeship Programme
The HCET has started a Farm Workers' Apprenticeship Programme for young people aged 18 and older. Six farmers in the district have ageed to participate in the programme. The apprentices are assigned to skilled farm workers, who act as trainers and mentors. The programme has been extended to two years. At the end of the second year, all apprentices will be assessed before being placed with farmers for a probationary period of one year.

Малагасийский нильский крокодил () — подвид нильского крокодила, встречающийся исключительно на острове Мадагаскар. Малагасийцы называют его «вуаи» () или «мамба» (mamba). В настоящее время подвид почти истреблён людьми. Последние малагасийские нильские крокодилы встречаются в труднодоступных местах — например, в подземных реках массива Анкарана (). Ещё есть популяции, обитающие в «священных озёрах» и находящиеся под защитой религиозного запрета —  (fady). Таким озером является, к примеру, Анивурану, расположенное между городами Амбилубе и Анциранана.

Q: AngularJS loading partial views I'm developing a modular application with angularJS.
There is a menu that allows navigation through multiple views. (i'm using ngRoute)
Each view is divided in few parts and each part should load an independent module (lets call it "modules" atm). These modules will retrieve dynamic data using an api and these modules could be used in several views.
Which is the best way to do this? Use custom directives with a template and controller for each?

A: I would create the modules with a "module.(module #)" so you can separate all js files. Something like this since you are using ngroute:
MyApp.controller('module.one', function ($scope, $http, $routeParams, moduleOneResource) {...logic... }

Create a factory for each module:
    angular.module('module.one').factory('moduleOneResource', ['$resource', function ($resource) {
      return $resource('/api_root/module/:module_id', {} {
        'save': {
          method: 'POST',
          headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        'get': {
          method: 'GET',
          headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
         }
        }
      });
    }]);

And the config for the module:
angular.module('module.one', []).config(['$routeProvider',
    function($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider.when('/module/one/new', {templateUrl: 'partials/moduleOne/new.html', controller: 'ModuleOneCtrl'});
    $routeProvider.when('/module/one/list_all', {templateUrl: 'partials/moduleOne/list.html', controller: 'ModuleOneCtrl'});
    }]);

Then just keep creating each one of these files for each modules, should be 3 files per module... you can include more than one controller for example in one controller file if you want to for one module, same with factories.
angular.module('module.two', []).config([ .... config module for each module with url routes and html source , etc...

A: You could use ng-include for this but I would say its better to use ui-router instead of ngRoute. ui-router allows you to use multiple named views and nested views which could be what you want i think. For example

in config
var mypApp = angular.module("myApp",[ui-router]);
myApp.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider',
function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');
$stateProvider
    .state('empty', {
        url:'/',
        views: {
            'header': {
                templateUrl: 'apps/header.html',
                controller: headController
            },
            'content': {
                templateUrl: 'apps/content.html'.
                controller: contentController
            },
            'footer': {
                templateUrl : 'apps/footer.html',
                controller: footerController
            }
        }
    })
    .state('test',{
        url:'/test',
        views: {
            'header': {
                templateUrl: 'apps/headertest.html'
                controller: headtTestController
            },
            'content': {
                templateUrl: 'apps/contenttest.html',
                controller: contenTesttController
            },
            'footer': {
                templateUrl : 'apps/footertest.html',
                controller: footerTestController
            }
        }
    })
}]);

This is a basic example as to how app is divided into multiple ui-views and you could devide your app similarly with each view having a controller.

Bloom Khaos is Nectar for the Gods' patent pending secret weapon for flower production and alleviating hidden hunger. When using Bloom Khaos as a foliar feed, one should notice more flower sites, larger, denser flowers, and superior color, flavor, and aroma. Bloom Khaos improves plant health and vigor while reducing stress at crucial times of the plant's life cycle, such as: transplanting, flower transition, and prior to taking cuttings. Bloom Khaos works best if used daily as a foliar spray in the early stages of growth and up to a few weeks into flowering. After that, it works well as a water-in additive.
Bloom Khaos, from Nectar for the Gods, is a Kelp extract (Ascophyllum nodosum) based bloom enhancer.
Early Bloom: Continue to foliar spray one(1) to two(2) weeks into Bloom.
Mid – Late Bloom: 1 TBSP per gallon of water -or- 15mL per gallon of water applied to the roots.
*DO NO USE THIS PRODUCT if you have not been using the rest of the Nectar for the Gods nutrients, especially the Demeter's Destiny.

Place of birth: Maryborough, Victoria.
Placing at the Australian Nationals.
My parents always skied socially and got us kids to go to a water ski school to just improve our technique. From this the coach at the ski school got us into tournament skiing.
My two siblings both ski competitively and my parents still ski socially. My parents are also involved in judging at tournaments and also involved in committees.
I have had a few people influence my skiing. An Australian International skier named Ryan Green has had a big influence over my skiing. He has coached me in previous years and represented Australia for many years.
Ryan has a great attitude: both on and off the water and always strives to do his best and prepares in any way possible. I try and to show a similar level of sportsmanship, as I believe he is a great role model and I should also try to act similar for junior athletes coming through who look up to me.
Mum and dad have always encouraged us to be the best we can be and want us to lead the best life we can to support ourselves and our future.
I also play Netball in the Bendigo Football Netball League for Strathfieldsaye. I am a member of the A Reserve Team and also have my B badge in umpiring.
I like to watch TV series movies or read books and magazines to relax. Sport takes up a lot of time in my week so I also use this to help relieve any stress.
I am 5ft tall but will surprise anyone who watches me. I don't let my height disadvantage me and try my hardest to get around it and find things where my height is of an advantage.
I don't really have any favourite music – it depends on my mood and what I am doing.
Never give up on your dreams. If you want something, work hard to get it.
All you have to do is believe and have a little faith.

Council hears presentation on Habitat Conservation Plan
Posted by Barbara Ellestad | Nov 11, 2015 | Local News, Top Stories | 1
"We want to develop a common understanding of where we're at," Mike Senn, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Field Supervisor told the Mesquite City Council at its meeting, Tuesday, Nov. 10 about the Virgin River Habitat Conservation and Recovery Plan (VRHCRP) that's been in the works for over 13 years.
The city is required to develop and implement the Plan under the Endangered Species Act as part of conditions set forth under the Mesquite Lands Act of 1986. As part of the Lands Act, $10 million was set aside to develop the plan which began in the early 2000s but has been plagued by setbacks and delays ever since.
According to Senn, approximately $7 million of the $10 million has already been spent on administrative and consultant fees.
Clark County adopted a Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) in 2002 that covers a majority of endangered species including the desert tortoise. However, it chose not to include mitigation for two fish in the Virgin River that FWS considers critical. The County plan requires all developers to pay a $550 fee per graded acre that's used for species protection.
Even though the city has never completed or formally adopted its VRHCRP, it has been collecting a second $500 fee per gross acre of land developed since 2007. Mesquite is the only place in Clark County that collects two mitigation fees and is required to abide by two different conservation plans.
According to backup material provided by Richard Secrist, Mesquite Development Services Director, FWS biologists determined in 2014 that the biggest threat to the two Virgin River fish comes from invasive species swimming up from Lake Mead with minor impacts from water quality and habitat disturbances emanating from irrigation diversion.
Also according to Secrist, Marci Henson, Clark County Manager of the MSHCP stated in late 2014 that "she didn't think the development in Mesquite was impacting fish. She said they and their consultants made the case that there was no impact to the fish in the Virgin River, so they didn't propose including them in the second phase of their plan. Apparently, FWS bought off on their argument because they approved the list of proposed species covered by the proposed (Clark County) plan that did not include fish species."
Addressing the county's decision to not include the fish in its conservation plan, Senn said, "The Service (FWS) can't make the county include the fish species in their plan any more than we can make this city get an HCP (habitat conservation plan). It's an applicant-driven process."
Senn said there's two ways to operate under the Endangered Species Act. A Section 10 permit can "range from years to decades. Once it's issued it's considered a deal. The FWS cannot come back and say we want you to pay more money." Mesquite has been working on its plan under Section 10 guidelines since the beginning.
A Section 7 permit is only good for the "life of the project" which is much less time. "If something happens with the project or a new species gets listed, we have to re-consult on the project," Senn explained. In April 2014 he requested the city halt its work under Section 10 and develop its conservation plan under Section 7.
Senn's office provided an analysis showing the City's cost would range from $1.998 million in 10 years to $5.458 over 30 years to mitigate effects on the two fish species.
According to a Las Vegas Review Journal article published Nov. 4, Representative Cresent Hardy (R-NV) introduced legislation in the House and Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) introduced a companion bill in the Senate that would amend public lands laws allowing the City of Mesquite to access funds to implement the multiple-species habitat conservation plan. Both pieces of legislation are supported by all Nevada federally elected officials on both sides of the aisle.
The article says "During a hearing on the bill, Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., who chairs the Federal Lands subcommittee that held the hearing, was blunt about his support for the legislation over any administration objections.
"The bill, he said, is "only before us because of bureaucratic pettifogging by various federal agencies."
"McClintock said the U.S. Fish and Wildlife ordered the city of Mesquite to implement a multiple-species habitat conservation plan as a condition of proceeding with economic development projects. That plan, he noted, was to be paid for through funds raised in the sale of the federal land. But that arrangement changed last year, bringing the economic expansion plans to a standstill, he said.
""These are bureaucratically created problems that never should have occurred in the first place," he said."
In response to a question from Councilman George Rapson, Senn explained that the FWS service wouldn't interfere with development if the city agreed to develop a conservation plan. "I know this doesn't sound like we're trying to help the city but the reality of the situation is that the Service can't let the city continue to develop without a plan in place and having the incidental take coverage."
Senn also told the council that the original $10 million set aside by the 1986 Lands Act was strictly for developing a plan and not for implementing it. He added that the pending legislation would allow some of the money to be used for implementation.
Rapson explained three alternatives available to the city. "We can continue with Section 10 development that gives us coverage in perpetuity or go with Section 7 which is less in the sense that it doesn't protect us from lawsuits and can be changed at any time. Or the third alternative is to do absolutely nothing and ignore the whole process. That seems to be what Bunkerville, Moapa Valley and Clark County for some species seems to be doing. We can wait for someone to complain."
"That's a fair assessment," Senn responded. "The third alternative must consider that we issued a Biological Opinion with the idea that the city would develop a plan. We would have to re-issue that or the Service could be litigated against. It sounds easy but there is a ripple effect."
"We have no control over the invasive species (from Lake Mead)," Rapson reiterated. "Our run-off from irrigation is negligible or non-existent. Intuitively, it seems we don't have a lot of risk of endangering the species from development. I would like to solve this problem."
No other council member or the mayor took part in the discussion and no action was taken on issue.

I am presently working through Marilyn McCord Adams, "Aristotelian Substance and Supposits" (Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, supplementary volume 79, 2005, 15-72). The Czech scholastics and sometime MavPhil commenters Novak, Novotny, Vohanka, et al. have kindly invited me to read a paper at a conference on the Trinity in Prague this September and now I am under the gun to write something worth their time and attention.
Adams writes, p. 39, "(Ockham is willing to conclude that 'A human supposit can be assumed' is true, even though 'A human supposit is assumed' is contradictory; just as 'A white can be black' is true, even though 'A white is black' is impossible.)"
My present purpose is to make sense of this quotation.
1. A white thing is (logically) possibly such that it is not white.
For example, here is a piece of white paper. Heeding Mick Jagger's injunction, I can paint it black. But I wouldn't be able to do this if it were not logically possible for this thing that is actually white to be non-white. Although, necessarily, nothing white is non-white, the piece of paper is contingently white.
2. It is not (logically) possible that a white thing be non-white.
On these readings, both (1) and (2) come out true. (1) is about a thing (res) and ascribes a modal property to it; (2) is about a proposition (dictum) and ascribes a modal property to it.
3. A human supposit is (logically) possibly such that it is assumed.
From the opening page of Adams' paper, I gather that a supposit is an Aristotelian primary (individual) substance. So Socrates and Plato are human supposits, while a donkey is a supposit that is not human. And from her gloss on Boethius, I gather that a person is a primary substance of a rational nature. So Socrates and Plato are persons while a donkey is not.
4. It is (logically) impossible that a human supposit be assumed.
(3) and (4) can both be true. It is impossible that a human supposit be assumed, for it it were it wouldn't be a supposit; but something that is a human supposit is possibly such that it is assumed. But this has the strange consequence that human supposits are only contingently supposits. So Socrates is not essentially a supposit, and if a supposit is a primary substance, the Socrates is not essentially a primary substance.
Thus Adams ascribes to Ockham the view that "The property of being a supposit is not essential to any creatable/created thing, because any creatable/created thing whatever can exist wthout it." (p. 39) So whatever is a supposit might not have been. Or rather whatever is a supposit might not have been its own supposit: every supposit is possibly such as to have an 'alien supposit,' namely God.
What is curious here is how very specific theological doctrines are allowed to drive the general ontology.

"My Bad": Forgetful British Official Left Top Secret al-Qaeda Files On Subway
The British Cabinet office has suspended a "very senior intelligence official" who left secret files on al-Qaeda operatives in Pakistan and the Iraqi security situation behind him on a train in London.
The highly classifieds government docs were found inside a bright orange manila folder which was left on the tube betwixt Waterloo Station in London and Surrey on Tuesday. Each page was numbered and marked "For UK, US, Canadian and Australian eyes only".
A curious fellow picked the folder up, realised what was inside and passed the contents to the BBC, which last night handed the documents to police. Right. BBC and then the cops. Got it.
The highly sensitive documents were assessments made by the government's Joint Intelligence Committee. Data provided by the committee can be used to help form future policy and would have been extremely useful to any terrorist group. Not only did the documents set out the latest government assessment on al-Qaeda, also included was a "top secret and in some cases damning" assessment of Iraq's security forces.
Naturally many people are calling for the senior intelligence officials head saying "whomever lost these documents must be prosecuted and punished."
A spokesman for the British Cabinet Office said:
"There has been a security breach. The Metropolitan Police are carrying out an investigation."
It is understood a full-scale police search was launched when it was realised that they were missing, as officials were concerned at the possibility of such sensitive papers finding their way into the wrong hands.
It is the latest in a series of embarrassing losses of government information, including the disappearance of details of millions of child benefit recipients on a CD sent through the post.
There was reported to be "horror" across several departments in Whitehall this week that top-secret documents could have been so casually mislaid.
Shadow security minister, Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones, said: "This is just the latest in a long line of serious breaches of security involving either the loss of data, documents or Government lap tops, further highlighting the most basic failures in this Government's ability to maintain our security.
"The Government must make an immediate statement to Parliament and an inquiry must be launched."
Liberal Democrat shadow home secretary, Chris Huhne added: "This is an appalling breach of security, which suggests that procedures on such sensitive matters are lax to the point of utter carelessness.
"There should be clear guidelines about when such secret documents are outside carefully monitored premises.
"It beggars belief that the Government could have scored such a devastating own goal the very day that it was pushing the draconian counter terrorism laws thought parliament."
Cheerio.


Today was an interesting day weather-wise at Bear Creek, however, there were plenty of fish to be had. Although we got rained on for most of the afternoon, my buddy and I managed to catch plenty of wild browns.
We started the day at The Lair of the Bear outside of Ideldale and rigged dry-dropper rigs on the 3 weights. A size #18 Parachute Adams trailed by a size #18 Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail seemed to be the combination of choice for the day. Although there were no fish visibly rising, we managed a few on top. Most of the fish were taken subsurface with the Soft Hackle PT, however, Red Copper Johns, standard Beadhead Pheasant Tails, and Hare's Ears all took fish.
Most fish were found in the faster runs and riffles, in no more than 2 feet of water. We also caught plenty of fish out of the pocket water but they really seemed to be all over the place. Towards the end of the day, we moved down the canyon and worked Slumpbusters in the deeper pools. A small, size #6 black Slumpbuster took a few fish when jigged through the deep water.
Although the fish in Bear Creek are on the smaller side, it's a great creek with tons of public access, and a perfect place to catch a few fish before or after work. I chose to use a 7′ 3wt Scott Fiberglass rod which made some of the 8 inchers feel like monsters!


One of our mottos at Enterprise Data & Analytics is, "Deliver Value." I can hear you thinking, "That's nice, Andy. What does that mean?" I'm glad you asked.
Let's start with what value is not, shall we?
Value is not the least expensive. As a consultant, I often "bid" for consulting work, sometimes referred to as "gigs." How does bidding work? Someone calls or emails. I usually set up a meeting to discuss the problem they are trying to solve. I listen – a lot. I inform the potential customer whether I can help or not. Usually, if I cannot help, I know someone who can; and often I can subcontract someone who can help. Next we talk about hourly rate.
Let's talk about hourly rate. And experience.
In this instance (and several similar instances), the client opted to hire several people at a lower rate. In this instance (and several similar instances), the client called back later and asked if I had some availability to help them. Why? Experience. The consultants they hired at the lower rate did not deliver. I've done this several times before. I know what to expect, and I recognize the unexpected.
The value of that last phrase is not to be underestimated.
Having experience means I immediately recognize something new and different. I raise the flag. Having experience also means I know what to expect. Experience often translates into time saved. My hourly rate may be double the competition, but I know how to deliver major portions of the project in 1/4th the time. (Some portions I know how to deliver in 1/100th of the time.) If I'm able, at (hypothetically) $300/hour, to deliver some aspect of the project in 25 hours; and the lower-rate consultants, at (hypothetically) $150/hour, are able to deliver the same functionality in 100 hours; which of us is the better value?
Which of us is the better value, me or the less expensive alternative? To quote Foghorn Leghorn, "numbers don't lie." Foghorn is correct. I am the better value, even though I charge more per hour.
Lots more. You see, when a project is under development everyone is laser-focused on the costs of development. Why? Well, those costs are right there in front of everyone. The math is easy, it's the number of hours invoiced multiplied by the consulting rate. But is the cost of development the highest cost of a project?
The answer is no. Most business intelligence, data warehouse, or analytics projects are used in the enterprise for five to ten years. In my experience, the costs of maintaining and supporting are often more than the costs of developing the solution in the first place.
If you read that last paragraph and thought, "Of course you're going to write that, Andy! You want us to hire you instead of your competition who charges a lower hourly rate!" If you thought that, don't hire me. Hire someone you trust. Your data, in 2016, needs a consultant you trust. Your customers need a consultant you trust. The people behind the personally-identifying information (PII) in your databases need a consultant you trust. In my opinion (again, subjective), integrity should be your number one consideration when selecting a consultant for a data project. Please hire someone you trust. If that's not me, I will understand.
The combined costs of developing, supporting, maintaining, and extending a solution is called the total cost of ownership, or TCO.
The costs of supporting, maintaining, and extending the solution are spread across the years the solution is in production. The individual costs are small – especially when compared to the hourly rate of a consultant – but they are manifold. Over time these costs can, and most often do (in my experience), overtake the costs of development. Designing for supportability, maintainability, and extensibility can save thousands of dollars (sometimes orders of magnitude more) in TCO.
It's not just costs of supporting, maintaining, and extending the solution, though. Think about the opportunity cost – the cost of opportunities lost because your team is spending extra time fiddling with this solution – when they could be thinking up killer applications and solutions that will make you a go-zillionaire!
I design for supportability, maintainability, and extensibility. To design for TCO, one needs experience supporting, maintaining, and extending data-related projects. Not everyone has that experience. Some brilliant consultants have never led or managed a team or project from inside a large enterprise. I led a team of 40 ETL developers when I worked at Unisys. I can tell you, experience managing a team of developers is very different from being an independent consultant.
Because the money for development projects usually comes out of a different accounting bucket (the capital budget) and support, maintenance, and extending projects comes out of the operations budget, it's understandable that TCO is often overlooked and development costs are often over-scrutinized.
Please consider experience and the total cost of ownership when selecting a consultant. You'll be glad you did.
Spot on Andy. Share so many of my own thoughts.
In many IT project management books, they suggest 10% of the cost of the overall project as development, but as you say, the person making that decision is only focused on that 10%.
I also say that in this industry, you need to be comfortable that 80% of what you know today will be useless in 4 years time. But that 20% is what keeps you out of trouble. (And that's what experience is).
Agreed, Greg. It's an easy mistake to make (focusing on the costs of development instead of TCO). I understand it. I want to help people see the bigger picture.

We have been lied to, again.
Obama released the 5 high level detainees at Guantanamo 5 DAYS BEFORE Bergdahl.
The State Department now confirms that we were going to release the 5 detainees though no matter what as part of the emptying and closing of Gitmo.
This was simply an attempt to curry favor with the Taliban by their release and hope that in exchange they would honor their word to send Bergdahl back as part of the deal. Bergdahl's release would then please the American People and make Obama look good in an election year which would provide cover for the already planned release of the Gitmo 5 allowing Obama to call it a trade for Bergdahl.
Oh ,how wrong and misguided….

178 Safety Violations for Firm Linked to Deadly Hayride
A firm with connections to the farm in Mechanic Falls where a deadly hayride accident recently occurred received 178 vehicle safety violations in the past 10 years, according to records obtained by the Maine Sun Journal. Re-harvest, a company that operates recycling trucks, functions as part of the same corporate structure as Harvest Hill Farms, where the deadly incident took place.
The October 11th accident occurred when the driver lost control of the jeep, hit a tree, and flipped over the flatbed truck it was hauling as part of the "haunted hayride." Cassidy Charette, 17, of Oakland was killed and 22 others seriously injured as a result of the truck accident near Lewiston, Maine.
Safety violations considered serious risks
Since 2005, trucks belonging to Re-Harvest have been inspected by the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement division a total of 33 times. The 178 citations that the company received were for problems including leaking oil, missing or faulty axle parts, defective brakes and steering, and malfunctioning horns and headlights. Other citations had been issued for improper securing of loads to the trucks as well as failure to remedy past violations.
The supervisor for Maine State Police, who carried out the inspections, said that the safety rating for the company ranks among the lowest in the state.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the federal organization that oversees work safety, also inspected Re-Harvest and Harvest Hill, administering four citations for safety violations and fining the companies $5,628. According to an OSHA official in Maine, the company and farm were fined for issues including missing handrails in stairways at its warehouse and recycling facility in Portland, workers without hardhats, and failure to follow protocol while operating heavy machinery.
Former employee warned company about vehicle safety
A former driver for Re-Harvest came forward recently with allegations that he was fired for voicing his concerns about safety issues. Charles Ramsey claims that the company knew of the safety concerns, but did nothing to remedy them. Moreover, after being pulled over several times for safety violations, Ramsey says that supervisors at Re-Harvest told him to avoid the Maine Turnpike so that he would not be stopped.
Ramsey notes that the truck he drove had constant maintenance problems and was cited by the Maine State Police for having faulty brakes, holes in the frame, and bad tires. James Wright confirmed the high number of citations.
No safety inspection required for "agro-tourism" business
The owner of Harvest Hills Farms, Peter Bolduc Jr., is also named as the president of Re-Harvest. While the trucking company received numerous safety violations, they would not have prevented him from running the farm as an "agro-tourism" business; such ventures do not require safety inspections or licensing.
The Lewiston personal injury lawyers Hardy, Wolf & Downing are deeply saddened by the loss and injuries sustained by so many local residents during what should have been a joyful, seasonal event. We express our condolences to the families of all involved, and hope that the conclusion of the ongoing investigation will help prevent similar losses to the employees and patrons of these companies in the future.
For years, our legal team has made extensive legislative efforts to help pass laws that not only protect Mainers from dangerous conditions such as these, but that also ensure fair compensation remains available to victims who are injured . Two partners of the firm serve on the Board of Governors of the Maine Trial Lawyers Association in an effort to further those initiatives.
As Maine accident lawyers, we sincerely hope that this tragedy will at least remind voters to elect lawmakers who are committed to preserving our community traditions and tourism without jeopardizing our safety. For now, Hardy Wolf & Downing will continue to do our part toward that end.

Behind The Barriers With: Cathryn Meredith
Ladies in RACING Magazine is Australia's only national magazine dedicated to the ladies who love the sport of Kings and Queens, thoroughbred racing.
Published three times a year (April, August and December) Ladies in RACING Magazine (LIRM) covers a range of topics you don't usually see in other racing publications. Articles include the latest information on racing Carnivals and associated social events, as well as profiles on prominent females in the racing industry, and a dedicated business directory.
*Cathryn Meredith with Damien Anthony Rossi
Founder and Managing Director, Cathryn Meredith, has worked in the publishing industry for over 30 years both here and overseas across a wide range of industries including sport, fashion, beauty and travel. A family owned and operated magazine, Cathryn is joined by her father Ron Williams, an avid racegoer and racehorse owner for over 65 years, who writes many stories and is involved with the magazines promotion.
In 2005 on advice from a golf-avid friend, Cathryn started Ladies GOLF magazine. With a personal love of racing and also noticing a gap in the marketplace, the creation of LIRM was a natural progression. Melbourne born and bred, but based in Queensland for over 30 years, Cathryn has a wealth of knowledge and passion for the industry and speaks so highly of women in the racing industry.
LIRM aims to promote not only racing, but the diverse landscape for women to be involved in the industry and smash the stereotype that racing is a man's world.
"Whether they are a jockey, trainer, vet or administrator, women are not fully aware of the impact they are making in the industry and the barriers they are breaking down for upcoming participants," said Cathryn.
"Racing wouldn't be where it is today if it wasn't for women. Not just for the fashion and millinery dollars they generate, but everyone knows that where women go, the men will follow."
Ladies have made an enormous contribution to the racing industry as owners, jockeys, breeders track riders and in key positions in the corporate world of racing. Ladies in racing here in Australia are headlined by the likes of trainer Gai Waterhouse, jockey Michelle Payne, media personality Francesca Cumani and Victoria Racing Club Chairman Amanda Elliott.
According to recent statistics released by Racing Victoria, 24.2% of Victorian jockeys and 20% of Victorian trainers are women and 49% of stable employees are women. 28 of Victoria's 67 Country Racing Clubs are also managed by women.
Cathryn believes "Racing is a great social day out with friends and family and these days is about so much more than just the betting. It is a unique event and one of the few places where you can get dressed up and have the option of celebrating a birthday with friends, an anniversary with your loved one or a family picnic while the horses thunder past. It's great to see so many more women openly embracing the racing industry."
The Autumn edition of Ladies in RACING Magazine is about to come hot off the press at the end of this month so visit the website to subscribe or find your nearest stockist.
With a readership base of over 60,000, LIRM is a great place for businesses to promote their services to a dedicated and engaged audience. Get in touch with Cathryn today to find out more and tell her Racing Girl sent you!
