Consumer News Release
For immediate release -- March 13, 2001. Contact Bob Brammer -- 515-281-6699.
I appreciate the opportunity to appear before this Committee today. As a point of departure, I believe we can agree that we are now at a particularly critical juncture in the nation's efforts to create a competitive airline industry. Travelers and the business community alike are keenly aware that a major airline consolidation effort is proposed that would have seemed incredible to industry experts just a few years ago. If this consolidation isn't halted, we have to consider the possibility that the entire U.S. air transportation industry may be in the hands of three or four major companies within the next few years.
Deregulation of the airline industry has largely been a success with better service and better prices for the traveling public. Nonetheless, in many areas of the country, we have witnessed more costly airfares, a reduction in new entrants into air markets, and lessening competition among the major carriers with their grasp on key hubs. We have come to understand how fundamentally the lack of real competition and meaningful access to air service is linked to the economic development and vitality of our communities and states in addition to its impact on the leisure traveling public.
Over the past three years I worked closely with over thirty-five state attorneys general who have learned that the benefits of deregulation have yet to be realized in significant parts of the states that they represent. Having formed a multi-state Airline Working Group, the States have taken concrete steps to ensure access to the advantages of deregulation for their citizens, especially through the support of an open and fair competitive environment in which low-cost and new entrant airlines can compete on a level playing field.
In the course of this effort we have learned a great deal. We have worked closely with others interested in these issues, including the Department of Transportation, the Department of Justice, as well as the Congress. We have also met with and listened to key consumer and industry groups on numerous occasions. We filed several sets of comments on proposals that were being considered by the Department of Transportation for dealing with the problem of unfair competition against new and emerging small carriers. And we contributed to the work of the National Transportation Research Board in its study of these same issues.
Currently we are dedicating substantial resources to investigating the airline mergers that have been announced, as well as looking into the possible impact of Orbitz, the airline owned internet ticket business currently in the formulation stage.
In certain fortunate markets we have learned clear lessons about the benefits of competition to the consumers and business communities. Competition among the major airlines in our airports is a good start for our traveling public. We have also come to realize that low cost carriers can be a real asset for generating competition. One low cost carrier showing consistent growth reports that when it enters a new market that fares to the new markets that it serves are reduced by fifty percent and the passenger traffic increases by one hundred percent. I think that a few examples effectively illustrate this point.
Recently upstate New York has seen the advent of a local low cost carrier which has created immediate and significant competition for passengers with the result that some communities went from experiencing some of the highest prices in the nation to very competitive prices. In the hub city of Atlanta, a low cost carrier has moderated prices significantly for travelers in many city pairs.
When the Department of Transportation has elected to become proactive in encouraging competition through the distribution of slots, we have witnessed real competitive results. The provision of 75 slots at Kennedy airport in New York to a new low cost carrier, for example, has generated competition in numerous key markets including the traditional high cost area of upstate New York.
On the other hand, the historical trend can be seen with the acquisition of TWA by American Airlines. At National Airport in Washington TWA has 49 slots -- all of which may go to American -- giving that carrier a total of 390 slots at this airport which is one of the most important in the nation to travelers. This is precisely the circumstance which this bill is designed to address. Parenthetically, we believe it is already possible and entirely appropriate for the Department of Transportation to shift a number of these slots to competitors, especially low cost carriers which wish to enter the market but are prevented from doing so by the barriers to entry that we noted earlier.
Examples abound of the barriers to entry presented by a lack of gates, including such constricted locations as Boston and Philadelphia. When gates have been made available the results are good for competition and consumers. A low cost carrier fought for over a year to get gates at Newark where majors held control of the airport. In a number of instances the gates were not being fully utilized but were withheld from carriers trying to obtain space to run their operations. When the gates were finally opened, a reduction in prices to the markets served by this new competitor were immediately felt by local travelers. A similar story can be told about another small carrier, who after a two-year effort finally succeeded at obtaining gates at Detroit, to the benefit of consumers.
I would like to touch upon one final point I believe merits this Committee's consideration. While major airlines challenge the studies showing that consumers pay a premium at hub airports-- often called fortress hubs --, it seems fairly clear to most of us that the premiums are real and frequently substantial. When a competitor, especially a low cost carrier, is allowed to enter the market and compete for local traffic, the outcome is telling. In Atlanta a low cost airline has challenged the incumbent carrier in its own hub and prices to communities served by that airline have dropped substantially. We feel that this needs to occur elsewhere to provide the benefits of competition to consumers living in hub cities and this bill helps us do that. Again, we believe that the DOT can take steps to promote this healthy competition using its own authority.
We come before this committee in support of efforts by this Congress to pass legislation that will ensure a fair and equitable opportunity for competing airlines to obtain slots and gates and thereby access to key airports in our country.
Our involvement with airline issues has taught us that one of the primary factors that impedes competition in the industry lies in the ability of airlines to dominate individual airports. Quite obviously if competing airlines cannot get access to an airport, competition is impossible, regardless of any other factor. In our view, airport access is a key to a real competitive marketplace. Access refers to both the physical space and also the vital time periods when people want to travel.
Our current system consists of an unplanned mixture of airport rules, transportation regulations, lease obligations, and squatters rights, that allow individual carriers to gain significant power to control access to individual airports. These conditions allow carriers such as Northwest to dominate the hub at Minneapolis-Saint Paul, for United and American to dominate O'Hare in Chicago, and for Delta to dominate Atlanta. And the most remarkable thing about this phenomenon is that it is effective against even the most powerful competitors in the industry. Not only making it difficult for small carriers to serve Chicago, Atlanta and Washington, the lack of access curbs the major carriers' ability to compete effectively in those markets as well.
Air transportation is a network business. That is, successful airlines have come to believe fervently in the idea that their growth and prosperity depends on their ability to fly everywhere, to offer major corporations and travel agencies unlimited options for reaching any destination. However, this desire to create a complete network collides head-to-head with the airport access problem.
We know that true and effective competition cannot be mandated or regulated. But what the government can and has the duty to do, is address the artificial structural barriers to entry created by arcane airport access rules as well as de facto control of certain airports by the major carriers. We believe that these tactics are stifling competition.
Airports are public facilities which must be accessible to all competitors on reasonable terms. As more and more people crowd the airlines, it is of paramount importance that the government devise a means of insuring that competitive initiatives are not thwarted as a result of structural conditions at the airports. Consequently, we strongly support efforts to create a better system for the allocation of gates and slots.
As we understand it, the underpinning of S-415 is twofold:
To grant the Department of Transportation greater power to approve airline mergers and acquisitions under new standards, and to address more effectively the problem of the allocation of slots and gates.
First, I want to note at the outset Transportation Secretary Mineta's recent commitment to place more emphasis on ways the Department can take a more proactive role in addressing crucial issues in the airline industry. This is a development that we welcome.
For some time we have recognized the potential for DOT to play a significant role in promoting competition in the market. In January, Secretary Slater and the DOT staff produced several papers that outlined the authority the Department already has to address anti-competitive behavior in the industry. In this regard we believe that the Department of Transportation currently has authority to take actions in regard slots and gates when their allocation becomes an impediment to competition. That authority is embodied in current statutes and has existed for many years. However, to date it has not been employed effectively.
To the extent the S. 415 further develops and enhances the Department's authority specifically to open access to airports through modest redistribution of slots and gates, it could move us closer to the open competitive environment we are seeking. Any legislation that focuses on restructuring the rules that govern airport access will address one of the most significant impediments to competition in the industry and the factor that is leading to these unprecedented consolidation efforts.
I would emphasize that I do not believe that we should in any way withdraw authority to review mergers from the Department of Justice. In working closely with the Justice Department on many investigations of all kinds in the past, I have come to have great respect for the Department's resources, its depth of knowledge, and its commitment to applying the appropriate standards in an objective manner. I would note that it has not been that long since the Justice Department has had primary responsibility for addressing airline acquisitions. Changes regarding the primary responsibility for airline mergers should be made only when a reasonable degree of confidence can be developed that we are proceeding in the right direction.
A principal feature of the bill is to shift slots and gates to foster real competition in markets. When the States were participating with the Transportation Research Board in its examination and evaluation of competition in the airline industry we began to clearly understand the importance to meaningful competition of access to airports through the provision of slots and gates. Indeed, the TRB recommended letting pricing and market-based methods of allocating slots drive access to markets for competitors to the entrenched major carriers.
The TRB went on to observe that a long history of government involvement with the major carriers and with the airports themselves had created an artificial barrier to entry for competitors. Consequently, they suggested that airports should take steps to assure a sufficient availability of gates to competitors wishing to enter the market, including allowing for the purchase of gates from dominant carriers controlling gates at the airport. They additionally urged that the Department of Transportation monitor the availability of gates and presumably take steps within its authority to resolve existing conditions in favor of competition for local passengers.
S. 415 seems to me to state categorically and unequivocally that access to our key airports through the provision of gates and slots is crucial to promote competition that will serve the interest of business and leisure travelers across the country. Even in the event that this bill does not become law, this Committee has provided a blueprint for future competition. The dialogue here today will provide greater awareness and useful information about how we can open our airports to the clear and convincing benefits of competition. Time will tell whether these standards work and whether they are effective in this industry.
I note that there is still much to learn about the airline industry. There are limits on our ability to see into the future that we must respect. What we do know with reasonable assurance is that the lower the barriers are to entry in the marketplace, the more likely it will be that consumers will find the choices they prefer at the lowest possible price. Increased access to our nation's airports through the provision of slots and gates to competitors will enhance the opportunity for healthy competition that will extend the benefits of deregulation to communities across the nation. We applaud your proposals to spur real competition in the airline industry.
Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today.

Project Underway to Turn Around Lake Pahoja
Posted: 04/12/2013
The fishery at Lake Pahoja was renovated on April 4, to remove common carp and grass carp that caused poor water quality and frequent algae blooms. For the first time since 1979, the lake will get a fresh start.
Lake Pahoja experienced a significant fish kill last fall after oxygen dropped to dangerously low levels throughout the lake. A combination of a very large algae bloom and the annual fall lake turnover likely caused the die off. The kill impacted many fish species and was a sign of an out of balance fishery and unhealthy lake.
It is very unusual for a lake fish kill to occur in the fall and confirmed what was known for some time, said Mike Hawkins, fisheries management biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
"Lake Pahoja has not been as healthy as it should be. The frequency and intensity of the algae blooms the lake had been experiencing indicate an excess in nutrients and lack of rooted aquatic plants," he said.
Excessive nutrients in lakes come from the land that drains into them. Once those nutrients are in the lake, an out of balance fishery can cause productivity to go haywire.
Common carp feed by rooting up the bottom of a lake causing water clarity problems and releasing nutrients tied to those bottom sediments. Grass carp feed on rooted aquatic plants. With more than 100, 40-to 60-pound grass carp in the lake, aquatic plants have never been seen.
Aquatic plants are important because they create critical habitat for fish and invertebrates and improve water quality by taking up nutrients that keep algae blooms to a minimum.
"With these two species gone, the water should clear up and we should begin to see aquatic plants grow along the shoreline creating a 'weed line,'" Hawkins said. "This should help create a much more balanced fishery."
Panfishing had been poor for a number of years, said Craig Van Otterloo, executive director for the Lyon County Conservation Board. "With a brand new fishery, we know that is about to change. Lake Pahoja is a very important part of this county and we want it to be the best it can be," Van Otterloo said.
The Lyon County Conservation Board secured a County Fish Habitat Grant to pay for the renovation.
"Drought conditions allowed us to draw the lake down about 5 feet dramatically reducing the amount and cost of the chemical to be applied," said Van Otterloo.
Crews worked for two days with the DNR's electrofishing boat before the renovation to salvage nearly 800 largemouth bass that were placed in county ponds. Some are being held in one of the park's ponds and go back to Pahoja when the lake is ready to be restocked in a 2-3 weeks.
The chemical, called Rotenone, was used to renovate the fishery because it kills fish quickly without harming other organisms. County Conservation Board staff began picking up larger dead fish from the shoreline shortly after application. A significant number of the larger fish were common carp. Dead fish were applied to a local crop field and incorporated as fertilizer.
Hawkins says the lake will receive 48,000 one-year-old bluegills towards the end of April, followed by about 70 adult largemouth bass. Channel catfish will be stocked next June. Other species will be considered after bluegills and largemouth bass are well established.
"The growth rate of the fish stocked this spring will be extreme. We can expect good fishing for bluegill by the end of next summer, with bigger fish by the following summer," says Hawkins.
Van Otterloo says it is extremely important that anglers do not release live fish or minnows into Lake Pahoja. Not only is it unlawful to do so, an illegal stocking will jeopardize the fishery.
The Lyon County Conservation Board and the Fisheries Bureau of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources cooperated on this project.

Great product - 11/5/2014 6:26:41 AM I have been using this product for many years and on the few and far between times that I have not used it, I could tell the difference in my skin. I have learned NOT to use anything else on my face!! It's a great product and I use it twice a day...morning and night. Foundation goes over it very easier. Also, a little goes a long way.Great product! - 9/19/2014 4:44:31 AM This is a great primer! The chocolate balancing primer works well in the summer when I have a bit of color, but too dark otherwise, and does not control oil as well. This product controls oil without drying the skin - my face looks fresh all day and no need for blotting tissues! One reviewer said the smell is bad, but I do not find that to be the case at all. Will not be without it!Love it - 9/15/2014 2:29:58 AM This is a great product! I have very sensitive skin...breaks out and ultra sensitive to sun. I just came back from holiday in Greece and this was a savior. I never was sunburned and it is easy to carry everywhere with me.love this powder - 9/14/2014 12:17:09 PM I have been using this powder for a few years now and I love it! I have tried others and feel this is the best!Love using this powder for a healthy natural glow - 5/9/2014 2:11:07 AM I am really love with this product! I own about 30 shimmers and glow products. I'm 57. I only like ones that lend a nice shimmer minus glitter. This does that. I use a large fluffy brush and apply to most of my face but mainly the high points of the face as you would a shimmer. Then I apply a matte bronzer and a / or my blush. I can add even more shimmer but my blush has some in it (own many of them too!). This is just a nautral glow to my good older skin and it's non drying not cakey. I'm off to get the bronze powder now ;) PS & FYI; if you want sparkles and high shimmer this is not or you. I use another kind of shimmer product separate sometimes over this ..it works great...depends on the day.Nothing special - 2/23/2014 1:33:19 PM Neither color I purchased was even remotely as shown, or as suggested by the name. Merlot is a rich, dark red wine...this color is a lovely pale pink that goes on almost natural...not at all what I was expecting. Rich, nurishing formula but a little sticky, like most glosses.LOVE! - 1/13/2014 7:39:33 AM This is so much and easier and nicer to use for SPF protection plus it is a terrific finishing powder sets your makeup beautifully. Additionally, I am have sensitive skin and have never had any issues with this powderLove it!Disappointing - 12/14/2013 2:30:37 PM Based on the other reviews, I thought I found the perfect product, however this was nothing short of awful for me. It didn't come close to bronzing my skin, let alone brighten it. It blended poorly and dried out my skin to the point that it felt cracked and made it crease into every fine line I have. It also made me break out and that isn't something I can tolerate anymore at 49. It's going back--too bad it didn't work as perfectly for me as the others. Love Skinstore customer service and return policy howeverSurprisingly oily! - 5/11/2013 9:36:35 AM I bought this based on great reviews and was disappointed. My skin is fairly oily so I've been looking for something to provide sun protection and keep shine in check. This did not do it! It has a decidedly waxy smell and feel, and by early afternoon my mineral powder makeup is creased. Even though its pricier, I find the Dermalogica Skin Perfect primer much better quality for my skin.The Perfect Sunscreen! - 5/3/2013 7:57:34 AM I have super fair skin that is oily and acne prone. I use sunscreen daily, but struggled to find one that was not scented and didn't leave my skin shiny and greasy. This product was a blessing. At first I was skeptical that it would provide adequate sun protection, but it has proven very effective. My skin does not feel oily, and it leaves it with a more finished look. I wear it alone and with foundation. After cleansing my face in the morning, I brush it on and am set for the day. LOVE this product!! -

The showcase will be held from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturday in downtown Ruleville.
Brad Cooper, Ruleville Chamber of Commerce member and chair of this event, explained why they decided to bring back the antique automobile showcase after its recent hiatus.
"We just know that if we promote a car, truck, and tractor show, it will promote more attraction to the festival as a whole," said Cooper. "Everyone likes to show off their hard work and their endeavors with their cars. Attendance definitely goes up when we have the show, and they (antique automobile owners) have more exposure."
The make and model of this year's set of automobiles are supposed to be a surprise, but Cooper assured that Corvettes, Mustangs, Camaros, and a few antique tractors can be expected this year.
"If you have an old car, you know that circuit..." said Cooper. "I had a '58 corvette. I wish I had never gotten rid of that car. But you get to know these folks and you see that they love their cars and get to know others who are interested in cars. It's sort of a family environment. You quickly make friends among the antique care people."
From Cooper's experience with the antique car community, he believed that it would be a perfect fit to merge it with The Great Ruleville Roast.
"These antique cars are just a slice of Americana that people hold dear like no other," said Cooper. "It's variety of things that you may never get a chance to see up close … Come and see what is here!"
For more information on the antique car, truck, and tractor showcase, contact Brad Cooper at (662) 756-4020.

A well-paid host of a talk show should have better control, and certainly been prepared for a guest from fox news to say something deliberately irritating.But I wouldn't say it's rude. I don't think 'rude' applies to talking heads looking for ratings.I was going to go with unprofessional, but they've garnered a lot more publicity with this, so it's really not even that.
I don't think it was rude. I've had to walk away to cool down myself. That topic is one that's just too controversial. Had they stayed, I imagine things could have gotten uglier. Now, that would have been painful to watch.In fact, it was still an awkward interview to watch even after the ladies came back.True, it was unprofessional, but again, the topic is just too hard to debate about in a civil manner.
I think it was rude and INCREDIBLY unprofessional. I'm glad Barbara took them all to task.
So I'm leaning towards "often a polite response, but probably not in this situation."
I was going to go with unprofessional, but they've garnered a lot more publicity with this, so it's really not even that.

College Street work to start
Construction continues on Lincoln and College streets in Washington. Since Lincoln Street is down to one lane, cars must maneuver around dips and potholes on the open side.
Katie Roupe / Observer-Reporter
Order a Print
While work to repave North and South College streets in Washington will not be completed this construction season, some work will be done.
Determining the scope of the work will be a coordinated effort between the state Department of Transportation and the contractor, Donegal Construction Corp. of Greensburg.
Delays in getting work under way on College was blamed on miscommunication between PennDOT and Pennsylvania-American Water Co. PennDOT was waiting for water company representatives to review plans because of a line in that area.
The best case scenario is that half of College would be done, said Scott Faieta, assistant PennDOT construction engineer. We met with the water company last week. They are opening bids Thursday to relocate their line between Beau and Chestnut.
We are certainly not going to be able to do the whole street, he added. Wed be able to pave between East Maiden and East Beau streets or put down about 1,100 feet of drainage pipe. Well get together with Donegal and coordinate to see what is feasible. But the fact remains, we wont get the entire job done this year.
Construction on the $5 million project in the area known as the Route 19 corridor began in April.
Work is continuing in the left lane on Lincoln Street. Paving work on that side should be completed next week and work will be switched over to the right side in the next two weeks, Faieta said. Some sidewalks will be completed next year as PennDOT waits for some utility poles to be moved.
PennDOT also sent the Washington County Housing Authority an estimate of $56,000 to install drainage pipes for its property in the area of Lincoln Terrace. Cameras also will be used in two inlets to determine the location of storm drains in the Highland Avenue area.
Work on the next phase of the project, which includes the area of Highland, Ridge and Murtland avenues will be bid in November with construction in 2013.

Delta State took an early lead, scoring a pair of runs in the first. Delta State loaded the bases and Michael Vinson picked up an RBI walk to score the first run. Delta State then added another run when Kasey Hinton reached with a bases loaded hit by pitch.
Statesmen starter Michael Manley and Valdosta State starter Jeremy Holcomb then limited each team's baserunners through the first six innings, as both teams were held scoreless.
In the seventh, Delta State added another run. Tyler Aldridge started the inning with a single and advanced to second on a walk by Ricky Velez. Aldridge then stole third and took home as the throw from Bryant Hayman went to the outfield.
The Statesmen took a 4-0 lead in the eighth inning with a double by Sam Kidd to score Josh Crowdus who reached earlier in the inning.
Valdosta put up a four-run inning in the bottom of the eight to tie the game.
After an error and with two runners on, Nick Rodda hit a two-out single to score the first run for the Blazers. After a walk loaded the bases, Hayman hit a double to clear the bases and tie the game.

Rudman and Wright suggested that selling agents keep paperwork for two years to prove compliance.
In his presentation, Wright pointed out what constitutes violations of the suspension agreement and possible violation of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act.
"PACA is not a party to the suspension agreement but the actions of a PACA licensee or a firm operating subject to a license which violates the suspension agreement may constitute an unfair trade practice, which would violate the PACA," he said.
An example of a violation of the agreement and PACA, he said, would be if a selling agent issues a false invoice to hide the actual sales price of tomatoes," he said.
In order for PACA to start an investigation, Wright said the USDA must receive written notification. Upon receiving an allegation, Wright said PACA will examine the allegation and determine whether to investigate, issue a warning letter or perhaps issue an administrative complaint. Any allegation or notification should include as much detail and documentation as possible, he said.
"The identity of the person providing written notification will not be released by PACA by statutory prohibition, he said. Fines and suspension to a PACA licensee if they don't cooperate with an investigation, he said.
Flagrant, repeated violations such as false accounting and alternations of inspection certificates can result in suspension of PACA licenses, personal sanctions or civil penalties, he said.
One participant said the 90-minute event was helpful.
"A lot of the information we knew already but there was some new information that came out," said Charlie Everette, quality and claims manager for Apache Produce, Nogales, Ariz.
In particular, Everette said the 15% rule was something he had not been aware of.
"Someone asked what happens if someone is not a part of the agreement and (Rudman said) they can just bring their tomatoes in," he said. "In other words, 15% can bring them in and not have any application to the agreement."
Everette also said that he learned that various paperwork forms dealing with processed tomatoes and instructions on how to apply adjustments based on inspection results are also on the Commerce website.
Because the web seminar did cover so much ground, Everette said it will be valuable to have the copies of the presentations.
NOTE ON UPDATE: The story contains a clarification on exemptions relating to the 85% rule.

Tradewinds Multicolor Stacking Mugs, Set of 6
Great Size
I really like the size of these mugs. They're cute and petite. They were exactly what I had hoped for when I bought them. Plus the colors are really warm and matched what I wanted. I really like the fact that they're stackable. We always run out of room for our mugs but with these mugs that's not a problem. :)

This is a fine set of stacking mugs. Out of the box the opening for the wire rack was just a little tight (perhaps it was slightly bent in shipping?) so the mugs could not slide out easily, so I bent it open just a tad and everything slides in perfectly now. I saw there are all white sets available, though I would have preferred a set that is all brown or black. That said, having different colors makes it easy to remember whose cup is whose. The price was right and the stacking mugs are quite convenient. We already gave another set as a gift for a friend with limited kitchen space and they did not have the rack issue. It's been a few weeks of personal use and entertaining and everyone has been happy with them.
