He is an author, consultant, and speaker on policies and practices related to what makes a community-based economy effective and sustainable. See the Upcoming Events on page 5 for more details about the course and about Michael. Below you will find a summary of a recent conversation between Michael and the course coordinator, Walt Blackford, that will give you insight into Michael's work, his thinking, and the focus for his course. WALT: When you wrote your book, Going Local, what was happening in the world that inspired you to focus on "creating self-reliant communities in a global age?" MICHAEL: In the early 1990s I was working on North-South development cooperation. While I was generally enthusi-astic about this sister-cities movement, I also worried that its "development" practices frequently were at odds with its excellent principles. Too often "success" meant a city INTRODUCTION This is the first in a series of technical discussions on the performance and general expectations of dechlorination devices at high flow rates in small, consumer used devices. The technical discussions will cover shower filters, bath dechlorinators, garden and hydroponic filters. These discussion papers are presented in an outline format. Let me give you some helpful information. We began the development of a non-carbon shower filter in 1988. In 1989 our company introduced the all KDF-55 shower filter to the market. KDF is a 50/50 alloy of copper and zinc. This alloy, atomized brass, is used in a granular mesh form (0 to 100 mesh) to reduce free chlorine (CL2) in water treatment. Why do we need a technical paper on shower filters? After all, they are nothing more than small drinking water filters mounted in the shower. And, we know all about drinking water filters. Right? Wrong! Part of the problem lies with the failure to understand a dechlorinating shower device is not a water filter. It can only do one thing. It can reduce Free Available Chlorine by 90% or more for extended periods. It cannot remove organic contaminants or heavy metals like lead. OXIDATION-REDUCTION (REDOX) MEDIA Since 1989, we have worked successfully with all forms of KDF's redox media for shower, bath, garden and hydroponic applications. The Truth About GobMYTH: Waste coal is a clean energy source. TRUTH: Waste coal burners release air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, acid gases, carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), toxic metals (like mercury, lead and arsenic), ultra-toxic dioxins, greenhouse gases and particulate matter. They also produce a highly toxic ash that is typically dumped in the communities near the power plants without the protection of landfill liners. MYTH: Waste coal is renewable. TRUTH: Waste coal is a fossil fuel waste product. No one considers it renewable, however, in 2004, some Pennsylvania legislators have decided to sponsor Senate Bill 1191, a bill which would classify waste coal as "renewable" and as "green power." This is not only factually inaccurate, it is bad public policy. MYTH: Waste coal burners are cleaner than normal coal burners They're also proposing to build a hydroponic greenhouse to grow tomatoes in New Jersey.Locals Card - If you work in Whistler you qualify for discounts at over 200 local businesses.

The minutes of the meeting and a summary of the discussions are below. 1. Treasurer's Report Accepted Treasurer Padmore gave a detailed report of income and expenditures for both the AAPFCO and Magruder accounts. As of June 30, 2004 the AAPFCO General Fund had a balance of $108,742.00 and the Magruder account had a balance of $23,870.73 for a total of $132,612.73 for the two accounts. The Board accepted the unaudited report which is published elsewhere in this publication. The Board discussed the cost of the Official Publication and any credit card costs associated with purchases and decided to keep the price at $30.00. Discussion of the motion revealed that neither NASDA nor AOAC sent an invoice last year.

"By having this plant part of our system, NPPD can avoid market spikes that happen when a major unit comes off-line and ensure that we can deliver energy to our customers without transmission issues. In addition, the price our customers pay will be less than market price, because we are serving our own load and, therefore, not subject to higher market prices," said Presi-dent and CEO Bill Fehrman. " While this is just a rural hilltop, you can see from the significant changes already made that this is going to be a powerful part of Nebraska's economy," County Board Chair-man David Anderson said.

The primary focus is lead mine drainage, both because it is a significant problem in Missouri and because many industrial effluents are essentially neutral, as is lead mine drainage. The objectives of this project are to: (1) Determine the chemistry of metals removal in constructed wetlands; (2) Determine the failure mode of constructed wetlands at low hydraulic residence times; (3) Determine the bioavailability of sequestered metals in constructed wetlands; and (4) Determine the effect of Progress Summary: The first objective is nearing completion; analyses by scanning electron microscope are underway. Results have revealed that three mechanisms dominate metals removal in the wetlands. The three removal mechanisms are: (1) Adsorption, primarily to organic substances in the wetlands, (2) Co-precipitation with iron oxyhydroxides, and (3) Precipitation as metal sulfides.nodpatake3This workbook, developed by Cornell Cooperative Extension spe-cialists in consultation with NODPA, helps explore the possibilities of tran-sitioning from conventional dairy farming to organic production.
