Hinesburg, Vermont - October 22, 2008
The town of Hinesburg is facing an uncertain future after the Saputo Cheese Factory announced it will not reopen. Select Board members held an emergency meeting, Wednesday evening, to discuss what the closure means for the town revenue and plans to upgrade the town's wastewater treatment plant.
Residents are set to vote on a Nov. 4 ballot measure asking voters to approve a bond to upgrade and expand the town's wastewater treatment facility. The expansion is needed because of the factory and the bond would be repaid in part by the factory. Without operations continuing at the factory, town leaders are unsure of the expansion is needed or affordable.
"We don't understand really what will happen to the revenue stream," said Select Board Chairman Jonathan Trefry.
Part of the problem is that the Montreal-based Saputo has not yet told the town what it plans to do with the property. Town Administrator Jeanne Wilson told the Select Board that she specifically asked Saputo if it plans to sell the property and if it has a buyer lined up.
"I did not get an answer to that," she said.
Saputo did say it is working first to take care of its employees. Eighty full-time employees have been offered jobs at other Saputo plants.
"I think it's a tragedy, it really is," said Charlotte resident, Amy Enos, upon hearing news of the closing. "A lot of people from this town depended on Saputo for employment and I really hope that these people can make it through this tough time."
Saputo says it was already thinking about closing the plant before the fire caused millions of dollars in damage. The company also mentioned today that it received a bill for $542,000 for firefighting and hazmat services. The town wonders if that bill is the straw that broke the camel's back and finalized the decision for Saputo.
Wilson spent much of Wednesday on the phone trying to figure out a future for the plant. The Vermont Department of Agriculture told her it is asking other dairy processors if they are interested in buying the facility. Wilson also spoke with several other companies that have previously expressed interest in moving to Hinesburg.
"It's an important piece of real estate in the center of a village in Chittenden County and I think there could be a lot of interest," said Trefry of the property.
It's not the long-term future this town is worried about but the short term as 80 people look for new jobs, and the local government tries to operate with uncertain revenues.

In the win against Detroit, Bryan McCann had a 97-yard punt return for a touchdown which is the second-longest punt return by any player in club history.
It is also the second-longest by a rookie as Dennis Morgan (98 yards at St. Louis, 10/13/74) had the longest.
Along with his 101-yard interception return last week at the N.Y. Giants, McCann is the second player this season with two 90-plus yard returns for touchdowns in two-or-less consecutive games – Leon Washington had a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and a 101-yard kickoff return for a touchdown at Miami (9/26).
McCann is the first rookie to accomplish the feat since Devin Hester had a 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, followed by a 96-yarder for a score on Dec. 11, 2006.
He was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week last week for his performance at the N.Y. Giants. This is the third player of the week award for the team this year - DeMarcus Ware, Week Three, NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
· McCann is the first in club history to be named NFC Player of the Week in consecutive regular season games as Troy Aikman was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week against Philadelphia, 1/10/93 and at San Francisco, 1/17/93, both playoff games.
· He's also the first Cowboy to win NFC Player of the Week honors in two different categories in the same season and the first in the NFL since DeSean Jackson of the Eagles (Week 1, 2009 and Week 14, 2009-Special Teams and Week 7, 2009-Offense).

Hi Honey,
I am assuming there isn�t supposed to be words or picture here? Just accepting the blackness?
In a world of "chin-upping," the shadow side isn't allowed in. Finding safe true ground by allowing both light/dark, day/night, good/bad, inhale/exhale, sun/shadow, sad/happy, etc.—instead of deciding one side (the light, the inhale, the happy) is better which only creates a division excluding the acceptance of "what is"—is necessary for integration.

a great help
We always have this on hand at home or when traveling: When the barometer changes (rain is coming) we inevitably feel sluggish maybe chilly maybe achy maybe depressed maybe with upset stomach..... Gelsemium snaps us out. It is also a flu & cold remedy with the same symptoms. --- You look (drooping eyes) like you need to go to bed. (This is a good thing to know -- because a person in a Gelsemium state may be too sluggish to realize how they feel or what they need.) The same symptoms can occur when you are waiting or dreading something. GELSEMIUM really HELPS! --- High potencies like can be best for very intense illness or for more psychological imbalances. Remember what Clarissa Pinkola Estés says in THE TAO OF ELVIS "...whatever and whomever we love never die."

The Rhode Island Supreme Court has reinstated the law license of John Cicilline, five-and-a-half years after losing it for orchestrating a courthouse corruption scheme.
He only got the news Friday morning.
"It's a wonderful day for myself and my family, and I look forward to getting back to work," John Cicilline told NBC 10.
Cicilline is settling into his office at the Federal Hill law firm of his father, Jack, the well-known defense lawyer who famously represented Mafia boss Raymond Patriarca. John Cicilline's brother is U.S. Rep. David Cicilline.
John Cicilline pleaded guilty to federal felonies in 2008, and five years after completing his 18-month sentence, petitioned the state Supreme Court to be reinstated to the Rhode Island bar.
One of the factors in his reinstatement was the scores of letters of recommendation written on his behalf, now in the files of the Supreme Court clerk.
One of those vouching for him was former Attorney General Patrick Lynch.
"I found Mr. Cicilline to be one of the finest, hard-working, trustworthy opposing counsel that I encountered," Lynch wrote.
Another letter came from former House Speaker William Murphy.
"I believe that John … has had considerable time to reflect on … its detrimental impact on both the criminal justice system and his personal life," Murphy said.
"I think there were about 20 prosecutors who wrote letters on my behalf, and I think at the end of the day when you read those letters you get a true sense of who John Cicilline was," Cicilline said.
And as he begins to occupy the empty space down the hall from his father, he reflected on his second chance.
"It was my birthday the other day. This is a little gift so I can get on with my life and come back to do the thing that I love," Cicilline said. "Being away for five-and-a-half years from this practice, you miss it."
Part of Cicilline's readmission to the bar requires he have a legal monitor, who will be Murphy.

"The 2009 Barolo Pajana also shows supple softness and immediate richness. I love the energy and the pure tension. There's a unique brightness or crispness to the fruit that so perfectly balances out those emboldened layers of oak, spice and tobacco. The style is modern and muscular but all that strength is delivered in a silken glove."

Prices, promotions and availability may vary by store and online.
2010 Vietti Barolo Castiglione
"Captivating nose combines raspberry, truffle, earth, coffee, tobacco and a positive herbaceous note. Dense and rich but youthfully imploded, with bright acidity energizing the flavors of minerals, mocha and humus. The long, echoing finish features building ripe tannins and considerable incipient complexity." -Stephen Tanzer

2009 Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco
"The 2009 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is more subtle and bashful in the mouth but shows similar intensity on the nose. The expressive bouquet delivers dark fruit, plum, licorice, cola and tar. This wine sees a small percent of French oak, whereas the base Barolo is aged in botte grande."

"Good deep red. Deep aromas of plum and mocha are complemented by smoky caramel oak and lifted by a floral note. Very ripe and plush but with good vinosity to the velvety flavors of plum, spices, tobacco and truffley underbrush. This subtly sweet, mouth-filling wine shows noble, thoroughly ripe tannins for the vintage. Finishes very long and thick, with a note of marzipan." -Stephen Tanzer

Blue Moon Astrology
The Online Home of Astrologer and Writer Elaine Kalantarian
How astrology works is a mystery. An ancient art honed through thousands of years of practice, it is based on the Doctrine of Unity: the notion that the universe is an interwoven fabric, and epitomized by the Hermetic maxim, "As above, so below." The astrological concept of a celestial-terrestrial interconnection has been with us throughout the ages, reflected in many of the world's spiritual traditions.
Even though there is compelling circumstantial evidence for astrology's underlying principle of interconnection, we have yet to discover the scientific mechanism that can account for it. We are living in exciting times, however, when fields of modern physics and mathematics, are moving towards interesting, parallel understandings regarding the seemingly magical interplay of energy and matter. We are beginning to see validation for some of the observations mystics have been alluding to for thousands of years.
"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
— William Shakespeare, Hamlet
I fully realize that because I am an astrologer many people will automatically brand me as a lunatic, and yet here I am sticking my neck out anyway, risking ridicule. For even though astrology does seem inconceivable, nevertheless, over and over again, I personally see it working. I see its accuracy and usefulness when I apply it to my clients' lives and my own. So however "outlandish" astrology's claims are, there does seem to be something to this crazy old art. There are many aspects to this great big universe of ours we have yet to understand, and the underpinnings of astrology, the how and why it works, is one of those mysteries. As Iain McGilchrist wrote in his book on the two hemispheres of the brain, The Master and His Emissary:
Certainty is the greatest of all illusions: whatever kind of fundamentalism it may underwrite, that of religion or of science, it is what the ancients meant by hubris. The only certainty, it seems to me, is that those who believe they are certainly right are certainly wrong.
A Life Well Crafted THE VIRGO NEW MOON Aug 25, 2014
Virgo, symbolized by the Virgin — one who is "whole and complete" all by her lonesome — is the zodiac sign associated with work. Everyday work that is, not the ambitious and impressive 10th house* aspect of vocational aspiration and life purpose, , but all those necessary tasks we must attend to each day, like it or not, to keep the boat afloat.
Virgo oversees the 6th house of the natal chart, associated with all those mundane chores that fill up a large portion of our day: keeping the checkbook balanced, scheduling appointments, writing up agendas and endless to-do lists, schlepping the kids to and fro, making meals, doing the laundry, taking out the trash, helping with homework. Chores that the rich and famous hire servants or staff to do for them, but the rest of us "peasants," for the most part, have to do for ourselves. All of this kind of work falls within Virgo's domain: what we must do each day to make life work — everything that needs to be done to keep us on task and on purpose, with clean teeth and full tummies.

Big Love VENUS CONJOINED JUPITER IN LEO August 17-18, 2014
Tomorrow morning, if you rise before the Sun, you'll see our two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, converging in the dawning light. To take in the show, all you need is a clear view of the east-northeastern horizon — no optics, telescope nor binoculars, are required. Venus and Jupiter in combination, astrologically speaking, is a big love, welcome dose of heart-warming goodwill and benevolence. Conjunctions are the strongest of all aspects, and when these two combine, it is easier to connect from the heart, we feel much more sociable, and generosity is definitely in the air, feelings of hope and optimism flow. We want to shower love and affection (and lavish gifts) on those we care about the most — as well as splurge a little on ourselves too. Read more....
The Shape of Each Soul THE AQUARIUS FULL MOON Aug 10, 2014
When I was a kid, I was drawn to the unusual. At the ice cream store, given a choice between chocolate, vanilla, or something altogether new and different, I almost always opted for the weirdest, most off-beat flavor. Even though every single time, I had to endure some amount of ribbing from my sister who would invariably sneer, over her standard scoop of chocolate chip, at my pink bubblegum or strawberry cheesecake. I also preferred nature hikes in the woods over trips to amusement parks; and one Christmas I asked Santa for a rock tumbler and science kit, something that — given it was the 1960s and I was a girl — was quirky, at least for my rather conservative northern Virginia neighborhood. But probably one of the best weirdo things about me was the fact that I played the inexcusably geeky violin. Read more....
The Flowers & Fruit of Our Labor
LUGHNASADH: CROSS-QUARTER STATION OF THE SUN August 7, 2014
How did July slip by so fast! The wheel of the year is turning once again, and we are fast approaching another seasonal milestone, the midpoint between solstice and equinox. One of the four "cross quarter" days, which, in addition to the solstices and equinoxes, mark the progression of the Sun and the seasonal changes through the year. Maybe it's my age, a well-seasoned 54, but it does seem like these milestones arrive and pass in a flash. Time really does seem to be zooming by.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the Sun has been climbing steadily higher each day, as it drops and wanes in equivalent measure here in the North. Even though cold, foul weather may last a few weeks more for our friends in the South, winter has lost its firm grip. In the Southern Hemisphere it is now Imbolc. Although it may be hard to believe, warm weather is just around the corner. Mother Earth is quickening, spring is now in the "Belly of Winter."
But here, on the flip side of Mother Earth, the Sun no longer shines as high in the sky as it did just a few weeks earlier at Summer Solstice. What we have sowed, tended, weeded, watered and protected since the Vernal Equinox is showing the fruits of our labor. Here in the North, it is Lughnasadh, the halfway point from summer solstice to the autumn equinox, the beginning of the long harvest season. Read more....
Rìo Abajo Rìo THE LEO NEW MOON July 26, 2014
Today, we arrive at the Leo New Moon, a brand new cycle with this fixed fire sign enthroned. Regal, noble, courageous Leo is strongly associated with creative self-expression, joy and happiness; and when the New Moon falls in the Sun's own sign, it is a good time to examine how well we are stoking this important fire, applying our creative juices, pouring this essential sunny vitality and energy — not for others' sake, nor the sake of work or family, but for the needs of our own heart and soul. Read more....
Recharging Inner Power MARS IN SCORPIO July 25, 2014
The energies are shifting. Jupiter has already left cardinal Cancer for fixed Leo and the Sun as well. And now Mars will be leaving cardinal Libra moving on to fixed Scorpio. Over the next month with the Sun, Jupiter and Mars all in fixed signs — along with a centering, personal happiness-oriented Leo New Moon which arrives tomorrow further emphasizing the fixed modality — we will (even you insanely busy Aries and ambitious Cappys out there) be prompted to slow way down. We are shifting from an "action-focused-outward" cardinal centrifugal force so powerfully emphasized for many months now, to a temporary, but blessed flow of steady consolidating power via both Leo and Scorpio.
So toes hanging over the edge of Libra's diving board, Mars has gathered his focus, and is now ready to dive into the deep waters of Scorpio. Mars' energy will become less scattered, and vitality will, for a time, flow inward, recharging our batteries, which for many of us have been limping along on emergency reserves for way too long.. Read more....
Opening the Heart JUPITER IN LEO July 16, 2014
Where Jupiter goes so goes optimism and enthusiasm. As the planet of horizon-widening experience moves through the zodiac signs, the ways in which we gather inspiration and bolster faith and hope in life shifts and changes, flavored by the sign through which this planet of Greater Fortune travels.
Tomorrow Jupiter will leave the Moon's sign for the Sun's sign, trading Cancer for Leo. Allow yourself to expand on the positive qualities of heart-centered Leo — generosity, courage, leadership, warmth, love, creativity, joy — and you'll increase your luck and good fortune. Leo is associated with the heart and the power to create, and so, over this next year, we are all meant to become better at "putting self in center ring," to shine, to seek and receive more love and attention, but to also give it away much more freely and unselfishly too. Leo is not just the star on the stage but the supportive loved one in the audience radiating courage-bolstering "I get a kick outta you" love and affection. Leo is the courage to live from the heart not the head. Read more....
The Japanese woodblock print, Kingfisher and Iris, shown above, is the work of Ohara Shoson (1878-1945). Shoson is considered by many to be the foremost 20th century designer of bird and flower prints, or kacho-e.

I recently sewed up a spring jacket using the Sewaholic Minoru pattern. The fabric is a brown poly-cotton twill and lining is red rayon. I really like this pattern and Tasia's sewalong on the Sewaholic blog was a wonderful resource. This is an excellent pattern! More on my blog

HoopsHype Rajon Rondo rumors
Following his first season as a member of ANTA's Team Priceless, Rajon Rondo sees his RR1 signature shoe scaled down for an all-new low-top release. Now available in three colorways, the RR1 Low is equipped with a fused upper, Auto-Arch midsole and ANTA's A-Jelly cushioning. Nine holes on the lateral forefoot represent Rondo's jersey number, while his favorite game Connect Four is depicted on the tongue. Lastly, heel detailing is inspired by the famous Boston duck boat. Sole Collector
It's inevitable that Rockets general manager Daryl Morey will likewise check in his with his old boss Danny Ainge in Boston -- as he did before the trade deadline in February -– just to make sure Rajon Rondo isn't suddenly available. ESPN.com
Parsons is the Rocket every rival team tries to steal. Boston would insist on Parsons if Rondo-to-Houston talks ever got serious. Teams are likewise said to be telling the Rockets all the time, when Morey is shopping either Asik or Lin, that it will also cost you Parsons if you're expecting us to take on one of those infamous balloon payments scheduled to lift both Asik and Lin to the brink of $15 million in annual salary next season ... albeit with a salary-cap number of just $8.4 million. ESPN.com
You're heading into the final year of your contract with the Celtics. What's the ideal situation for you? What could the Celtics do to entice you to stay? Rajon Rondo: I don't know. I don't really want to talk about being a free agent right now or [about] my contract year, because I'm going to get 1,000 questions next year. I'll just save it for next year. Boston Globe
Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck recently said there could be "fireworks" this offseason with regards to potential moves. How do you view that comment? Rajon Rondo: I've been through a lot of fireworks. I know this organization definitely wants to win. They've done it before. I've been in the same situation before where we lost 50-plus games and the following year, everything had changed. I don't underestimate Wyc or Danny [Ainge] and what they have planned. Boston Globe
This is something I've been curious about all season — you do all kinds of charity work but always in private and never for publicity. Why? Rajon Rondo: You don't do charity work for publicity. Well, I know I don't. Everybody's different. I feel like if you do stuff like that for charity, it should be from the heart. You don't have to get exposure for it. The people that you're doing it for are very grateful. It's not to get media attention. It's not to get the NBA behind me. I do it for myself. I do it for the people that need it and I do it because I want to do it. There's no need for a big media blast. People do that stuff all the time all across the world that you don't hear about. People volunteer over in foreign countries and do way more stuff than I'm doing. So for me to do what I do, I'm very blessed to be in my situation. I don't feel like I need any exposure or a pat on the back when I'm doing it. I do it because I want to do it. Boston Globe
Ben Rohrbach: Does Ainge see Rondo on the 2014-15 Celtics? "Yeah, I've said that like a thousand times." Admitted Rondo has declined a contract extension. Twitter @brohrbach
Rajon Rondo just tweeted this photo of the shoes he wore tonight to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. In short, they are exceptional. The kicks bear the initials of the victims on various areas of the shoe along with the words "Boston Strong" and the date of the incident on the tongue, which aptly serves as a marathon tag. Thoughtful touch. The Big Lead
Rondo, who suited up against the 76ers Monday night after missing two games because of a bruised left shin, entered having averaged 12.8 points, 11 assists, and 5.5 rebounds in his past 19 games after missing nearly a year with a torn right anterior cruciate ligament. Rondo has said he is looking forward to a full summer workout regimen. "I think Rondo's going to have a great year next year," Ainge said. "I think he's going to have the best year of his career. Boston Globe
"I know that would be a big reason why you wouldn't want to leave a city like Boston," said Rondo, "because every night, even with the season we're having, we're probably still leading the league in attendance or at least up near the top. I mean, the fans in Boston, they know the game. You can't cheat the fans. They know the game. It's fun to play there. It's definitely something you appreciate even more once you go on the road and see other teams that have like 6,000 people in the stands. Every night, it's 18,000 in Boston. So you don't take that for granted," Rondo said. "I know I don't. I've been in the league for eight years, and in Boston the crowd is consistent. They're always there." Boston Herald
He has one year left on his contract, and with the draft littered with quality point guards, the Celtics could easily choose to go in another direction and attempt to trade Rondo. So, whether this difficult stretch will foster the team's rebuilding plan is unknown. "You can [see the progress] but then again, who will be here next year?" Rondo said. "You [the reporter] might not even be here. They might trade you this season. It depends. I think there are some things you can take from this team. We have a young team, a lot of guys that are playing well every night, but we're not sealing the deal as a team collectively, but there are some things you can take individually from each guy and stay positive." Boston Globe
Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens left open the possibility that point guard Rajon Rondo could play in his first and only back-to-back of the season later this week, but said the decision ultimately lies with Rondo and the team's training staff. Since returning from a torn ACL in mid-January, Rondo has sat out the second night of eight back-to-backs, including Saturday's loss in Detroit. The Celtics have only five games remaining this season, one of which is Saturday's visit to Cleveland on the second night of a back-to-back. The Celtics host Charlotte on Friday, but could Rondo give Saturday a go as well? "I do think he's getting better, he looks like he's getting healthy, I think he's recovering better," said Stevens. "That's ultimately going to be his decision, based on how he feels on that day. He hasn't played a back-to-back yet, so that would be a new thing. Is there a positive or negative to that? I don't know. But that will be his call, along with [team trainer] Ed Lacerte." ESPN.com
There are still limits. Rondo hasn't gone soft on a Gator, and especially not that Gator. "We're not friends. No. He's not on my team," said Rondo, channeling his attitude guru, Kevin Garnett, still the best-known Noah hater in the league. "We have respect for each other. We've both accomplished things in this league, we're both competitors, we love to win and hate to lose. "But you play against somebody for 10 years, you probably won't like the guy." Boston Herald
But grudges can be tiring, too. That's why Rondo summed up his on-air story by telling CSN announcer Mike Gorman that there wasn't a "beef." "It was here in Chicago," Rondo later said of the peace summit. "We're always into it. I'll elbow him, he'll knee me, something crazy in a game we both feed off of. So we were at the free throw line one game and we asked each other, 'Why do we go at it so hard?' But that's the way it should be. You compete against your opponent." Boston Herald
Rondo, at his own behest, stepped into the world of broadcast journalism as the color analyst for Comcast SportsNet New England's broadcast of Monday's Celtics game in Chicago. The point guard was available to participate on air as he rested his surgically-repaired right knee in the second night of a back-to-back. He played the role of analyst during the network's pregame show and for the entirety of the first half. "I think it went OK," Rondo said after the game as he discussed his first on-air performance. "Obviously room for improvement, but first time out I think I did a pretty good job." NBA.com
Rajon Rondo wasn't in the Celtics lineup Monday against the Bulls, but he did manage to stay engaged during Boston's 94-80 loss to the Chicago Bulls. Rondo joined the telecast as color commentator, providing analysis, insight, and popcorn everywhere. For The Win
Rondo appreciates Ainge's cautious approach to analytics. "I think that's why Danny is one of the best GMs around," Rondo said. "He's a player that played the game. It's not just about business aspect — well, then again, it is — but you still have to have a feel for the game, have a feel for players, know personnel. "You just can't look at a number and say, 'OK, this guy is shooting 50 percent from the field, 90 percent from the free throw line, put him on this team and have a great season.' It doesn't work like that. "You've got to know personalities. I think you've got to know the locker room. I think that's why [Heat president] Pat Riley has done a great job. I don't know who the GM is for the Spurs, but [him, too]." Boston Globe
"I mean, that was the case with (Rajon) Rondo. After the summer before his sophomore year, we had him rated very, very high. And then he had a sub-par sophomore year by everybody's standards, I think, even by his own. But we still really, really valued him based on numerous games in the summertime with USA Basketball, where he was the best player of that whole group." Boston Herald

The House Natural Resources Committee will hold a Full Committee field hearing in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on September 8, 2014 on "The Northern Long Eared Bat: The Federal Endangered Species Act and the Impacts of a Listing on Pennsylvania and 37 Other States."
This hearing will examine questions regarding bat data and non-human-caused disease, as well as the likely negative impacts that a federal endangered listing of the Northern Long Eared Bat under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) would have on important activities such as farming. The Northern Long Eared Bat is one of hundreds of species included in the Department of the Interior's 2011 settlements with two groups that requires listing decisions by 2016. A final decision for the Northern Long Eared Bat could be made within the next several months. Witnesses at this hearing will testify about the real economic impacts of this potential listing on Pennsylvania citizens without any measurable benefits for the bat.
"Similar to the listing and habitat designation of the Northern Spotted Owl over 20 years ago, this is a potentially sweeping decision that affects portions of 38 states. It is vital that a decision of this magnitude be based on actual data, not settlement deadlines, and that it includes input from affected landowners and stakeholders not only from Pennsylvania, but from the rest of the two-thirds of the United States that would be impacted," said Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-04).
"This hearing is part of the House Natural Resources Committee's effort to improve and update the Endangered Species Act. I want to thank Chairman Doc Hastings for initiating this timely hearing on the proposal by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to designate the Northern Long Eared Bat as endangered, which will have sweeping effects on a range of economic sectors in 38 states including Pennsylvania," said Rep. Glenn 'GT' Thompson (PA-05).
"I support the Endangered Species Act's (ESA) goal to preserve and protect domestic species. The proposal to list the Northern Long-Eared Bat on the ESA is another example of government rushing forward with a regulation that would have significant and far-reaching impacts on the economy, in this case, home building, farming, manufacturing, and even land management for ecological purposes. This hearing is an important opportunity to hear from local stakeholders on the negative effects that this potential listing would have on local communities and the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should fully evaluate the ramifications of this proposal to find a solution that protects the bat while allowing activities that minimally affect it to continue," said Rep. Scott Perry (PA-04).
Full Committee oversight field hearing on:
Monday, September 8, 2014
Hearing Room 1 – North Office Building

Today, Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-04) sent a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers voicing strong concerns over the Corps' settlement this week with Columbia Riverkeeper, a group that for years has sued the federal government and favors removal of Northwest dams. The settlement, which involves payment of over $140,000 in taxpayer-funded attorneys' fees to the plaintiff, would vastly expand the regulatory authority of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over Army Corps' dam operations nationwide. These dams, especially those in the Pacific Northwest, are the major source of clean, renewable electricity, irrigation, flood control, and navigation.
"Incredibly, I understand that no one other than U.S. Department of Justice or Army Corps lawyers were made aware of the terms of this sweeping settlement before it was finalized, and signed by a judge. Like an increasing number of the Obama Administration's 'sue and settle' agreements over the past few years, this settlement was negotiated behind closed-doors by the Justice Department with a litigious group without consultation or input from those most directly impacted," wrote Chairman Hastings in the letter. "Of great concern is the likely precedent that this decision could have relating to the EPA's enforcement of the Clean Water Act, relating to the operation and maintenance of federal and non-federal dams, irrigation and maintenance of a vital navigational link on the Columbia and Snake Rivers in Washington, Idaho and Oregon. This comes amidst the EPA's hugely controversial 'Waters of the U.S.' proposal, which could shut down a host of water development projects and make it easier for litigious groups to sue to block them. I would request an immediate and thorough explanation of the Army Corps' rationale and details of its actions relative to this settlement, not just to Congress, but also to all affected state, local tribal and other stakeholders that have an interest in the Army Corps' dam operations nationwide."

"Today's helium auction is the realization of the promise of the Helium Stewardship Act which for the first time establishes a public, transparent, and open process for the sale of helium from the Federal Reserve in Texas. This sale is critical to ensure that taxpayers get a fair return for their resource. Participants are expected to include refiners, non-refiners, end-users, and producers. This auction, which was the centerpiece of the reforms to the helium program, will allow a broader segment of interests to finally compete and will allow an open free market to dictate prices. I look forward to the outcome of this first of its kind event"
On October 2, 2013, H.R. 527, the Helium Stewardship Act that was signed into law, Public Law 113-40. This bipartisan legislation is a common-sense plan to sell helium from the Federal Helium Reserve in a responsible manner to prevent a global shortage, protect jobs and the economy, and ensure a fairer return for taxpayers.
The Federal Helium Reserve in Texas, operated by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), is currently responsible for 30 percent of the world's helium supply and more than 50 percent of our domestic helium supply.
It was originally created in 1926 to help the U.S. keep pace with global advancements in military technologies, such as blimps. As we all now know, blimps failed to become essential to our national defense purposes and the U.S. was left with a large reserve of helium that had declining usefulness. But in classic government form, the government kept spending money to fill the Reserve until the 1980's, even when it was very clear that the original need for the Reserve was no longer necessary. By the 1990s, the helium program had racked up a $1.3 billion debt and Congress voted in an overwhelmingly bipartisan fashion to privatize the program.
Helium is essential to the manufacturing of computer chips and fiber optic cables, is used by hospitals for life-saving medical tests like an MRI, and is critical to national defense efforts.
Earlier this month, the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources held an oversight hearing on the "Implementation and Administration of the 2013 Helium Stewardship Act." At this hearing Subcommittee Chairman Doug Lamborn (CO-05) announced that he and House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-05) are releasing a discussion draft of new legislation, The American Helium Security Act of 2014. This draft legislation would help solve the need for a more secure and reliable domestic supply of helium to fulfill our Nation's future needs.Read More
Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 4315, the Endangered Species Transparency and Reasonableness Act with a bipartisan vote of 233-190. This common sense legislation focuses on sensible and specific updates to the Endangered Species Act in the areas of data transparency and species recovery.
"It's been over 40 years since the Endangered Species Act was enacted and over 25 years since the law was renewed by Congress; it's time this law was brought into the 21st Century. This common sense legislation to update and improve the Endangered Species Act aims to increase transparency, to enlist greater consultation by states, localities, and Indian tribes in species listings, and to reduce taxpayer-financed attorneys fees to help invest more funding in actual species recovery," said Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-04). "The House's bipartisan approval of this legislation to make modest, sensible updates to the ESA is an important step forward to making this law more effective for both species and people while respecting the original intent of this law which is to conserve species."
Since its enactment in 1973, over 1500 species have been listed as a result of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and only 2 percent have been recovered. The last time the ESA was renewed by Congress was in 1988 – long before the internet and cell phones were as widespread and available for commercial use as they are today. With new technological capabilities readily available and strong support for conserving endangered species, there are key areas where improvements could be made to make the law more effective for both species and people in the 21st century.
Specifically, the Endangered Species Transparency & Reasonableness Act would:

"Mr. Chairman, today, I'm pleased to bring before the House legislation that would help update and improve the Endangered Species Act—a law over 40-years old that was last reauthorized in 1988.
H.R. 4315 melds together four common sense and focused bills introduced earlier this year by myself, Representatives Lummis, Neugebauer and Huizenga. While respecting the original intent of the ESA to conserve species, this bill would help make the law more effective for both species and people.
Because of the more than 500 ESA-related lawsuits that have been filed against the government during this Administration alone, it has become clear that costly litigation is not only driving ESA priorities, but litigation has become an impediment to species recovery.
I should also note that regardless of what some groups are saying, this is not a comprehensive bill – its four sections aim to increase transparency, to enlist greater consultation by states, localities and tribes and to reduce taxpayer-financed attorneys fees to help invest more funding in actual species recovery.
For example, Section 2 of the bill requires data used by federal agencies that decides which species should be added to the threatened or endangered list, to be publicly available and accessible through the Internet. The last significant update to the ESA was when the Internet was in its infant stages. Posting data supporting key ESA decisions online will greatly enhance transparency and data quality.
The American people should be able to access such data before federal listing and de-listing decisions are final.
It is troubling that hundreds of sweeping listing decisions by the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service cite unpublished studies, professional opinions, and other sources that are inaccessible to the public yet this data would be used to regulate the very people who don't have access to this information. This secrecy goes against the grain of good science and transparency.
Data transparency is not only good for the American public in that it makes our government more accountable, it is also good for species because it allows for an open conversation about improving species science. As biologist Rob Roy Ramey testified, at a Natural Resources Committee hearing;
"When the data are not publicly accessible, legitimate scientific inquiry and debate is effectively eliminated, and no independent third party can produce the results. This action puts the basis of some ESA decisions outside the realm of science and species recovery is no better off. Withholding data does not further the goal of species recovery."
I couldn't agree more, especially when over 700 species could potentially be listed over the next few years throughout the country. These potential listings are due to this Administration's mega-lawsuit settlement with the Center for Biological Diversity and WildEarth Guardians—groups that have filed hundreds of lawsuits against the government at taxpayer expense.
One of these species could include the northern long-eared bat. It's a listing which could impact 39 states. Information on data when it comes to these species can only help, not hurt. This bill fosters release of this information.
Section 3 of the bill would enhance state, local and tribal involvement in ESA decisions, by requiring that before any listing decision is made, the federal government must disclose its data to states affected by such actions. In addition, Section 3 ensures that data from local, state and tribal entities - those closest to the ground - be factored into ESA listing decisions.
Section 4 would require the Administration to track and make available online the costs, in time and resources, to taxpayers as a result of ESA-related litigation.
Finally, section 5 would seek to reduce taxpayer-financed attorneys fees to help ensure that federal resources are focused more on species protection and recovery than on lucrative legal fees for serial litigants. Such fees now are awarded as high as $600/hour. This provision puts in place the same reasonable hourly caps on attorney fees used in another federal law, the Equal Access to Justice Act, for veterans, Social Security disability and other such claims.
H.R. 4315 starts with modest, sensible updates to the ESA by promoting transparency, greater state, local and tribal involvement, and bringing ESA litigation fees in line with another federal law."Read More
This bill will be considered by the full Natural Resources Committee at a Markup on Wednesday, July 30, 2014.
"This legislation was carefully crafted to ensure that the recreation fees paid by the public are used to improve and maintain campgrounds, trails, and other visitor facilities on our public lands. This bill reflects suggestions from those who recreate on our public lands as well as those who help make these lands accessible, including the guides and outfitters. I appreciated the input of Representative DeFazio, his staff, and other organizations who helped us work to identify the biggest priorities for management and use of our national parks, forests, and other public lands. It is my hope that the Senate will join in the efforts to update and pass these policies," said Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation Chairman Rob Bishop.
Currently the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act authorizes the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Reclamation to collect fees for accessing and enjoying federal recreation lands and waters. These recreation fees fund necessary services and improvements that enhance the public visitor experience on federal lands such as welcome centers, trails, tours, campgrounds, picnic areas, roads, and boat landings.
The bill ensures that a minimum of 90% of fees collected are retained and used at the collection site so that recreation users are directly paying for the services used. Specifically they bill:
Because of chronic mismanagement, cost overruns, and the continued need for a memorial befitting the honor and contribution of President Eisenhower , today Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation Chairman Rob Bishop introduced H.R. 5203, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission Reform Act. This legislation will provide an opportunity for a new perspective by creating a new commission to complete a monument fitting to honor the accomplishments and legacy of President Eisenhower.
"President Dwight D. Eisenhower was one of the greatest leaders in our nation's history. His legacy must be memorialized in a way that appropriately pays tribute to the many contributions he made as a general and as President," said Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation Chairman Rob Bishop. "The goal of this report and legislation is to address and subsequently move past the controversies and mismanagement that continue to plague the project. In light of the information found in the oversight report, it is very clear that we must move forward with new, and more appropriate ideas, as well as better management of the resources dedicated to the success of this project."
"President Eisenhower is worthy of a memorial in Washington, DC honoring his accomplishments and legacy -- and he certainly deserves better than the current memorial morass," said Chairman Doc Hastings. "The House Natural Resource Committee's oversight investigation and report has documented how the stubborn mismanagement displayed in the creation of an Eisenhower Memorial by bureaucratic staff and the Commission over the past fifteen years has produced very little but a track record of wasting millions of taxpayer dollars and a deeply flawed design that's failed to meet even the basic requirements for the memorial which are based on criteria that was clearly laid out as early as 2006. A change needs to be made so that an appropriately designed memorial to Dwight Eisenhower can move forward promptly without further waste and distractions. It's time to restore a devotion to a proper Eisenhower Memorial rather than an obstinate pursuit of the Gehry design in spite of mounting costs and criticism."
The report, issued by the Committee's Majority staff's Office of Oversight and Investigation, found:
Background on Eisenhower Memorial:
In 1999, Congress established the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial and tasked it with "consider[ing] and formulat[ing] plans for such a permanent memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower, including its nature, design, construction, and location."
The Eisenhower Memorial Commission is composed of 12 commissioners – four citizens appointed by the President, four members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House, and four Senators appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. The day-to-day operations of the Memorial Commission are overseen by a nine-person executive staff and assisted by several contractors. Assistance is also provided by the General Services Administration, as well as a construction management firm.
Since 1999, Congress has appropriated about $65 million to the Memorial Commission to pay for its operational expenses, the selection of a designer, and the development of a design. A four-acre site at the intersection of Maryland and Independence avenues, south of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, was selected in 2006 as the location of the planned Eisenhower Memorial.
The Commission selected famed architect Frank Gehry in 2009 to design the Memorial. Gehry's design features several statues in the center of the site, surrounded on three sides by metal tapestries suspended from 80-foot tall columns. Questions have been raised about the durability of the metal tapestries as well as their aesthetics compared to the surrounding buildings and other memorials along the National Mall.
As recently as spring 2014, the National Capital Planning Commission rejected Gehry's proposed design because the necessary durability and protection of the historic viewshed along Maryland Avenue, among other features, had not been adequately demonstrated.
Background on Committee's Investigation:
The Committee has been conducting oversight of the Memorial Commission's activities and the design of the Memorial since the 112th Congress. On March 20, 2012, an oversight hearing was held to hear concerns about the design selection process and durability of the design, including opposition from the Eisenhower family.
In the 113th Congress, the Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation heard testimony from members of the Eisenhower family, the Memorial Commission, and the public concerning H.R. 1126 ("Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Completion Act") and the status of the project itself.
Given concerns raised at these hearings, document request letters were sent by Full Committee Chairman Doc Hastings and Subcommittee Chairman Rob Bishop on May 15, 2013 to the Memorial Commission, the GSA, and the National Park Service, requesting details about the Commission's activities, travel, fundraising, and expenses; copies of contracts and invoices with the designer and other contractors; information about the design process and overall project management; and the analysis of what it will cost to operate the Memorial.

State and local governments, ranchers, business owners, and private citizens have been subject to threats, lack of cooperation, and numerous unfair or heavy-handed tactics which threaten public safety, the environment, endangered species, and the livelihoods of communities. Congressional oversight is necessary to provide an effective check on federal officials who abuse their regulatory powers.
"Today we took a second look at threats, intimidation and bullying by Federal Land Managing Agencies. During a hearing the Committee held last year and again today, we heard first-hand accounts of mistreatment at the hands of federal officials seeking to extort the witnesses into relinquishing their property rights," said Representative Doug LaMalfa (CA-01). "These firsthand accounts give the victims of abusive conduct by a federal land managing official a chance to tell their story to Congress. Status quo agency oversight, policies and procedures are inadequate for addressing or deterring employee abuses and may instead embolden overreaching or malicious employee behavior with little risk of retribution for their actions."
Witnesses highlighted examples of flagrant intimidation met by citizens who refuse to surrender their constitutional rights, land and water rights, grazing permits and other multiple-use benefits.
Sheriff James Perkins, Garfield County, UT, highlighted his perspective from 27 years of law enforcement and experience working with various federal law enforcement agencies.
"BLM's attitude towards coordinating with local law enforcement is summed up best by a conversation I had with a BLM law enforcement officer while we were attending a drug task force meeting in Cedar City, Utah. He told me point blank that he didn't care about any authority that I thought I had as the Garfield County Sheriff, and that he did not feel like he had to coordinate anything through my office… This refusal to coordinate, coupled with a lack of any meaningful oversight, has created a perfect environment where the abuse of federal law enforcement powers can occur."
Leland Pollock, Garfield County Commissioner, Garfield County Utah, testified on how BLM law enforcement has moved away from a public service philosophy due to polarization of personnel and bullying and cancellation of cooperative agreements.
"Our concerns/ complaints are not just a matter of hurt feelings, bullying, intimidation, lack of integrity, and a host of social issues. BLM's Chief of Law Enforcement has cost Garfield County real dollars… We are befuddled how one individual can override a State Director and negatively impact an entire county with impunity."
A. Grant Gerber, Elko County Commissioner, Elko Nevada, discussed specific examples of wrongdoings, threats, intimidation, and bullying by both BLM law enforcement and a district manager.
"When I was a boy and as I grew up the few Federal Agents were mainly local or from rural areas and fit in well with the local area. They knew the people and worked cooperatively. Now the Federal agents are predominantly from outside the area and do not develop connections with the locals as was done previously. Many start off with a belligerent attitude, even a commanding presence. They are especially offended if anyone opposes any Federal Government actions. The worst are the Federal Law Enforcement Agents that arrogantly announce that they are not governed by Nevada law, but can enforce it if they choose. Now we have been informed, that without notice of hearings, the BLM has determined that two more BLM Law Enforcement Agents are necessary to control the people in the Elko area. All of this is resulting in less use of Federal Lands by citizens as the citizens become afraid of being accosted and berated."
Jose Valera Lopez, President of the New Mexico Cattle Growers' Association, Rancher, Santa Fe New Mexico, testified on current justifications Federal Land Managers use to intimidate and bully including Endangered Species protection and resource protection.
"Endangered species 'protection' is the biggest culprit. At the moment the Fish and Wildlife Service is considering critical habitat for the lesser prairie chicken, the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse, and two varieties of garter snakes. Expansion of the Mexican wolf habitat is expected as early as tomorrow. We have had 764,000 acres in New Mexico and Arizona recently designated critical habitat for the jaguar although only a few male jaguar have been sighted in the U.S. over the last 60 years… In my own case, the BLM has been buying up private lands near my family ranch within the boundaries of an Area of Critical Environmental Concern that they designated part of their Resource Management Plan. They not refer to our ranch as an in-holding. What this designation has done is de-valued our land and effectively prohibits any type of future development on the ranch."

"America's dependence on foreign nations for minerals is a choice. Our solution to our dependence isn't a lack of resource; it is a lack of courage and commitment to produce the resources here. It is a policy of the Obama Administration that is bent on destroying jobs in the mining industry, from vetoing approved coal mines in Appalachia, to pre-emptively vetoing mines which haven't even been proposed in Alaska," said Subcommittee Chairman Doug Lamborn (CO-05). "The United States is among the world's largest producer of many important metals and minerals and one of the biggest road blocks to increased domestic mineral exploration and development is the very cumbersome permitting process in the United States."
Witnesses at the hearing offered expert testimony on the importance of critical minerals and rare earth elements to America's economy.
Anthony Y. Ku, Senior Scientist in Manufacturing and Materials Technology at GE Global Research, underscored the importance of critical minerals and rare earth elements in the production of GE's products calling them "fundamental to everything we [GE] do as a company. We are constantly watching, evaluating, and anticipating supply changes with respect to materials that are vital to GE's business interests." Increasing the supply of these rare earth elements and critical minerals is important to meeting the nation's future needs in energy, healthcare, and transportation. Ku added, "We believe GE's experience in addressing its material needs can inform the Federal government's efforts to develop a clear and comprehensive national policy to assure availability of minerals essential for national economic well-being, national security, and global economic competitiveness."
Mark Fellows, Director of Consulting at SNL Metals & Mining, called the consumption of metals and minerals "integral to the standard of living that Americans enjoy." Fellows cautioned that federal government regulations and red tape are hurting America's competitive advantage in mineral mining. "While the U.S. mining sector is ideally positioned to support manufacturers' need for greater sustainability and shorter supply chains in the production process, an outdated, inefficient permitting system presents a barrier to American companies' access to minerals they need and thus to the economic competitiveness of the U.S. mining industry." Fellows called it a "shame that mining activity in the U.S. is handicapped by a permitting system which severely hampers the development of a sustainable mining industry in the U.S."
Jerry Pyatt is the Chairman and CEO of The Doe Run Resources Corporation, which is one of the largest lead producers in the world. Lead produced from Doe Run's mines is found in batteries for cars, wind and solar energy storage, telecommunications, data centers, national defense systems, along with many more applications. Pyatt testified to the Subcommittee that increased environmental regulations by the federal government have caused Doe Run to stop producing lead in the United States and ship the raw lead abroad to be produced in countries like China that have minimal environmental standards. He noted that it's not just lead that's being overregulated by the federal government, "Mining is increasingly costly as we have to search further and further and deeper for mineral resources, while adhering to standards that in some cases require us to return water to streams at levels that are cleaner than drinking water standards." Pyatt called for a "responsible and reasonable" approach to regulation that doesn't hinder access to these critical minerals.
Brett Lambert, Senior Fellow at the National Defense Industrial Association, has over 25 years of experience in the private defense and intelligence markets. Lambert underscored how vital these critical minerals and rare earth elements are to the defense market. "The end products used by our war fighters are produced using a wide variety of minerals that often compose critical elements. These products are used by an extremely diverse set of companies that provide, directly and indirectly, to the Defense Department." Lambert testified that increased access to these minerals is "essential" and echoed calls from other witnesses that "potential restrictions to this access can add costs and time to system development and deployment."
The Agricultural Act Conference Report, passed by the House in January and signed by the President in February (P.L. 113-79), requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture to submit the report within 90 days. More than 150 days have elapsed, and the Department has not provided a copy of the report to Congress.
"This report is perhaps even more important now, following the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) decision in March 2014 to list the lesser prairie chicken as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). In our view, it is unfortunate that this listing, driven by the Department of the Interior's settlement deadline negotiated with certain groups, proceeded despite the FWS' approval last fall of a comprehensive five-state rangewide plan that is already demonstrating positive results for the lesser prairie chicken," wrote the Members in the letter. "We request that your Department provide this report immediately to appropriate Committees as required by the law, so that millions of private landowners, states and other stakeholders that are investing significant resources for conservation of this species can ensure that the cost and effectiveness of federal programs are being properly accounted for, and to provide Congress information it requested prior to the listing."

A week from today the Auburn Tigers will be playing for the BCS Championship and fans are shopping for new gear.
"I'm so past excited, I can't see straight. To get to go to Pasadena to see Auburn play is a dream." Joan Monte, Auburn fan, said.
At Bama Fever Tiger Pride on U.S. 280 Auburn fan Joan Monte is making last minute buys for Tiger merchandise for her trip to the game.
"Hundreds, hundreds of dollars. Obviously we had a whole lot of before this. Getting the SEC we have gotten a whole lot more," Monte said.
Since Auburn beat Alabama in the Iron Bowl Kim Pitt with Bama Fever Tiger Pride says Tiger fans have been dropping a lot of cash.
"Sales have pretty much doubled for Auburn this year. They have gone down for Bama fans but we know they will be back," Pitt said.
But don't tell that to Alabama fan John Seale who is stocking up on even more Crimson Tide goods before the big game with Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl Thursday.
"Florida State is going for the national championship. We are always going to come here and buy Alabama colors. Especially with 15 national championships in the trophy case," Seale said.
Sue Barnett said Alabama fans will continue to back the Tide.
"They better. We got to keep going just because the season is almost up. We got to keep pulling for them. I'm like McCarron. I like those rings. Keep them coming," Barnett said.
So what about some of these Bama fans pulling for the Tigers next week?
"That will be very hard but I like to see them win when we can't," Barnett said.
"No I can not. I will be in full turbin indian outfit. Pulling for the Florida State Seminoles." Seale said.
"I don't care. They should pull for their team and we will pull for our team.That's the way it's always been and it should be. There is not a lot of mutual love here." Monte said.
