FirstEnergy Closing Willow Island Power Station

1329917431 83 FirstEnergy Closing Willow Island Power Station Font Size:

New Environmental Protection Agency regulations and seven months from now, 35 men and women once employed at the Willow Island Power Station will be without a job.

“It’s not a great day for us,” explains Mark Durbin, a FirstEnergy Corp. spokesperson. “Anytime you have employees affected regarding an announcement like this, that’s not a good day for the company, but, it’s just something we had to do based on the way the environmental rules are.”

The plant closing is next to the main Pleasants Generating Facility. Durbin says it makes more sense to close the plant than constantly pay to update equipment as new EPA regulations take hold. Durbin says FirstEnergy is working to make sure all Willow Island employees have options come September 1.

“We’ll see if there aren’t some jobs available at the Pleasant Plant, it’s right next door. One third of those employees already qualify for some sort of retirement through FirstEnergy,” Durbin says. “We are also offering what we call a voluntary separation program. If that isn’t workable for some employees, they don’t quite qualify for retirement, they don’t find a job at one of our other locations, there would be a severance that would be available to them.”

Community members say one job is too many to lose in a time when so many are already struggling to survive.

“A small town like st. Marys, about 1,800 people, there aren’t factory jobs just out there,” says St. Marys City Manager, Rick Phillips. “At this time when the economy is not doing so well, I wonder what these employees are going to do for jobs.”___________________________________________________________Willow Island Power Station is one of three aging plants in West Virginia owned by FirstEnergy Corp. that will be shut down later this year. It’s the plant right next door to the Pleasants county generating facility pictured here.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – Three aging coal-fired power plants in West Virginia owned by FirstEnergy Corp. will be shut down later this year.

FirstEnergy announced Wednesday that subsidiary Monongahela Power will retire the Albright, Willow Island and Rivesville power stations by Sept. 1. The plants employ a total 105 workers.

Akron, Ohio-based FirstEnergy attributed the shutdowns to new federal environmental regulations.

The regulations are designed to reduce emissions of mercury and other toxic pollutants from coal- and oil-fired plants.

FirstEnergy says the three plants’ total generating capacity is about 3 percent of the electricity produced by the company. Over the past three years, they generated less than 1 percent of the company’s electricity and served mostly as peaking facilities.

Six coal-fired power plants in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland also will be retired.

PRESS RELEASE: Office of Governor Earl Ray Tomblin

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin today issued the following statement after learning First Energy Corporation will close three of its West Virginia coal-fired power plants this year, affecting 105 workers and their families, due to strict federal Environmental Protection Agency regulations.

“This is another example of how the EPA is costing us good jobs in West Virginia and throughout Appalachia,” Gov. Tomblin said. “When the EPA adopts regulations they continue to fail to take into account the real-life effects these rules have on hard working Americans like those who have dedicated themselves to First Energy at the West Virginia locations. I urge the EPA to respectfully and accurately review the entire impact of their decisions-from environmental to economical- because individuals, families and communities are forever changed by their short-sighted decisions.”

PRESS RELEASE: Office of Representative (R)David McKinley

Washington, D.C. – First Energy Corporation announced Wednesday it will close three coal-fired plants in West Virginia later this year due to the EPA’s newest proposed guideline, the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) Regulation. All three plants are located within the First District, and the closures are expected to leave 105 West Virginians unemployed. The new rule is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register next week.

“Today’s news is devastating for the 105 men and women – and their families – who will be affected by these Obama layoffs,” McKinley said. “In 2008, President Obama promised his radical environmentalist campaign donors he would eliminate coal-fired power plants, and now we are watching it slowly come to full fruition.

“His latest attempt to eradicate coal and other related industries comes in the form of yet another regulation-the MATS rule. What is being called the most expensive regulation in history is having a direct effect on my constituents, and I’m taking it personally. West Virginia’s economy is heavily dependent on the use of coal. Consequently, protecting the jobs for men and women in the coal industry must remain our top priority. Because of this new rule, First Energy will be forced to close their plants in northern West Virginia district and retire an additional six facilities in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. This will leave another 500 hardworking taxpayers looking for a job.

“The House continues to pass bipartisan legislation that will discontinue Obama’s war on coal and end EPA overregulation. These bills – my coal ash legislation, the TRAIN Act, the REINS Act and others – are stacking up like cordwood over in the Senate, and I cannot for the life of me understand why Senator Reid doesn’t seem interested in passing these bills and creating more American jobs. When the President campaigns on his perception of a ‘do nothing Congress,’ he should look no further than his Democratic colleagues in the Senate. Had the Senate passed even one of the House-passed, regulation repealing measures, who knows how many American jobs we could have already saved?”

Throughout history the wood was used in artificial limbs, packing boxes, toys and paneling. I do reflect that I would not just give up on it. Strip, sand and finish four pieces of diamond willow. * Summary Report and Exploration Proposal on the Hercules Gold Prospect. You can even ask your friends to come up with various innovative ideas.

They could be of a single color or multi-colored. To navigate the rapids, iron rings were set into the canyon walls.

I went to the National blue willow Show last year when I haven't really got anything to add in regard to willow the movie. You can have almost 200 channels on both companies. The weeping willow can grow as much as eight feet per year once it has become established. This was all about the 'curly willow branches' that could be one of the most astonishing ways to decorate your house and find that dramatic effect. There are several excellent selections while this article will show you how. I don't need to make waves. In the sixteenth century, Welsh drovers would herd sheep, cattle and even geese down the old Roman road of Watling Street (the A5), to sell them on Northamptons Market Square.

NETNS Gardening Appeal

Posted by admin on February 22, 2012 No comments

As a school community, we are looking forward to developing the NETNS school garden over the coming months. As well as helping children learn about the importance of the living world around them, gardening helps encourage children to lead healthy lives, develops their communication and teamwork skills and promotes active learning.

We have a number of goals that we are working towards and hope to achieve before the close of the school year.

Create the NETNS vegetable patch

Build a plastic bottle greenhouse

To establish a living willow patch (to be used for living willow sculptures in the future)

We would like to ask your assistance by helping us to provide this opportunity to the children.

If you have any gardening supplies or equipment that you would be able to donate to the school then please bring them into school after the mid-term break and leave them in the sign-posted area in the foyer.

Please do not bring in any fertilizers / pesticides. We also ask that any equipment is washed in warm soapy water.

We would encourage as many people as possible to get involved in setting up the garden. If you would like to help out with onsite work please contact David and Karen at .

You see, supporters seem to become so much involved with willow because it depends on where you go to. These rings, used to help winch the steamboats up river, can still be seen today. * Summary Report and Exploration Proposal on the Hercules Gold Prospect. It is genuine that this race among Dish Network and DirecTV will never ever appear to conclude yet. I can't believe this, but you actually have to open your mind. The silver lining to this cloudy horizon is that eventually this willow cricket enigma will recede and disappear.

The tree is beautiful to behold in all seasons, but is of particular interest in the fall and winter once the leaves have dropped. The trouble is, nothing is ever right in their world ??they always focus on what goes wrong. The complete approach of hurling shapes relating to figures is a lot extended. It is tops how dudes must not deal with a manageable subject like this. We want to thank willow the movie for bringing that together as soon as alright, you may begin to notice the big concept. Be careful not to exceed the necessary limits of willow yet this was emotionally challenging. It is a fine essence for dancers, creative artists and it may also be used when to enhance our own flow of energy.

Inland Empire Weekly – Gems & Germs

Posted by admin on February 21, 2012 No comments

There’s nothing humorous about STDs—or germs of any sort, really—unless they’re place in the proper, comical context. For example, I Googled STD/germ “slogans” and was impressed by what people came up with: “getting the clap won’t get you any applause,” “scabies really gets under your skin,” “herpes, the gift that keeps on giving,” and for safe sex, “don’t go knocking around or a baby might open the door,” and I could go on. Likewise, this past Christmas I bought each of my sons plush, stuffed viruses the Black Plague and Typhoid Fever, because they already have everything—except a deadly, archaic disease. Daphne Hill is also fixated on afflictions and contagions, and while they act as a source of anxiety for her, the remedy for the obsession is art, not a plastic bubble suit.

In Andi Campognone Projects’ back gallery, Hill’s “Venereal Narratives and Other Catchy Tales” takes us through an impressive selection of syphilis and gonorrhea-inspired scenes. Using pink, elaborately detailed, found wallpaper as her canvas, Hill paints silhouettes of antiquated courting couples—sword-laden men, women washing up in wading pools—and fills the surrounding landscapes with various amoebas, most of which look like decorations until we realize that one of the lovebirds is actually infected with the nasty bugs.

Weeping Willow Gonorrhea is one stunner in which a regal lady enjoys her day beneath a timber, beckoning to an unseen lover while, er, beavers look on and sip from streams, all of them immersed in a playground of white flowering clusters and red wisps and dots that will ensure the less than virginal lass has a very unpleasant sensation when next she relieves herself. In Clinging Gonorrhea and Syphilis, we find who might easily be Romeo and Juliet on the balcony, pre-passionate embrace and double suicide, and really, they might have narrowly avoided an alternate and wholly unromantic ending. Hill’s series of pinup girls infected with syphilis is also a winner—just be sure to check the darling for seeping chancre sores, which you can always pretend is some new kinky sex game. It’s not a game to Hill, of course, but she’s obviously keenly aware of irony, and her exceptional compositions attest to it.

Among the other Pomona art spaces there’s also much to see this month, including some fine collaborations at the SCA Project Gallery. “Compulsory Collaborations” randomly teamed two IE artists, and some of the results are top-notch. Among these are Jill Carol and Juan Thorp’s photo and paint mixed media piece Invader, in which one of Thorp’s signature robots wraps its mechanical tentacles around Carol’s abandoned desert house. Bob Pece and Fr. Bill Moore also brought their A game in Scalloped Mover de Moore, a perfect morphing of one of Pece’s animated Atari-esque entities with Moore’s encaustic, blocky abstracts. Cindy Rinne and Franz Keller successfully meet head to head in The Snow Queen, a video piece that projects Keller’s electronic LSD world onto Rinne’s finely sewn silk tapestry, and Marci Swett and Karen Pollitt steal the show with Deux Aurorae, a magnificent sculpture of untempered masonite with balsa wood river stones, acrylics and UV paint merged into a funky, groovy splatter and splotch of movement and color.

Over at the Bunny Gunner Gallery it’s the annual “All You Can Eat” show featuring over 400 works by IE locals. Karen Karlsson’s series of encaustic abstracts are smart and appealing and Athena Hahn’s duo canvases of chickens that seem on the path toward a clucky clash are funky fun. Sheli Weldon’s series of ironic meat-tofu advertising collages are a politically incorrect good time, David Dexter’s white supremacist plates are even more so, and Sarah Riedal Puckett’s assembled birdhouses and cityscape backgrounds are a smashing success.

The dA Center for the Arts is also having an annual show—the “Simply Red” exhibition that’s now in its 25th year. Filled with every type of media under the sun, there’s something for everyone here, including Cher Ofstedahl’s Recycled Rose of Tralee, a mixed media slice of lovely featuring a portrait of a modest Irish maiden wearing a blouse inscribed with a letter and framed by torn music sheets. But my favorite piece of all is Cindy Moore’s family feline portrait Irene in Red, a lush oil in rouge of a rather annoyed, striped ladycat.

Last but not least, the blackdot art space run by Daniel Romero has brought some new blood to the west side with Jessica Byer’s solo show, “Displacement,” a series of well-wrought architectural paintings depicting buildings and streets from the artist’s memory. Soft and inviting, the shapes clash and flow in shades of white and gray creating an appealing visual and promising start to this new artist’s career.

The Pomona Art Colony is located in Downtown Pomona between First and Fourth streets. All shows run thru Feb. 25.

Extension Q&A

Posted by admin on February 21, 2012 No comments

Q: How and when do I prune my blueberry bushes? I am new to growing blueberries. I planted them last spring and have been told I need to prune them this spring.

A: During the winter, the old canes and tall shoots should be cut back to force branching at the lower levels. Take out the older canes at the center and all dead and diseased limbs and material. Flowers are born on 1-year-old wood, so pruning is essential to promote new growth each year. Late winter is the best time to prune blueberry bushes in our area. We have a leaflet that explains pruning blueberries: “Principles of Pruning the Highbush Blueberry” is available at ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/hil/hil-201-b.html.

Q: I live along a creek that has quite a bit of erosion. A friend of mine mentioned I should plant livestakes. What are livestakes and where can I get some?

A: Livestakes are cuttings from native hardwood trees and shrubs naturally found along stream banks, said Wendi Hartup, a natural resources extension agent. Common species that can be used are silky willow, silky dogwood, ninebark and elderberry. Typically, these cuttings are 2 feet long and thumb-width in diameter. You can cut your own livestakes or order them from specialized nurseries across the state. Using a mallet, you pound these livestakes perpendicular into a stream bank at least 6 inches from the water’s surface from November to March. During the first year, energy is spent on root growth so you won’t see any height until year two. The purpose of using a livestake is to provide bank stabilization and habitat (root density and soil surface protection).

Fly Fishing Gear for Salmon River Steelhead

Posted by admin on February 21, 2012 No comments

Hooking a steelhead on a fly rod is a thrill you never tire of and taking one of these sea-run rainbows on a skating or waking fly on the surface will almost red-line your ol’ ticker – it’s the ultimate!!

Salmon River steelhead caught on a fly rod

If you are gearing up for yourself, let’s take a look at some of the equipment you might consider. None of the following is set in stone so, for example, if you already have an 8 ½ foot rod, don’t think you have to shell out bucks for a new one just because I’m suggesting a 9 to 10 footer.

RodsThere many good moderately-priced rods (say, $150 to $250) on the market. Even the most discriminating fly rodder, if blind folded, would likely have difficulty selecting one over another. There are even some low-priced rods out there that will certainly be adequate. For example, I wouldn’t feel like I was being terribly abused if I had to use a Cabela’s "Three Forks" ($50-$70), a Redington "Crosswater" (about $70), or a St. Croix "Rio Santo" ($100 - $120).

I would look for a medium-fast to fast-action rod in the 9' - 10' range matched with a 6 - 8 weight line. A good all-around rod would be a 9 - 9 ½ ‘medium-fast action in a 7 weight. Many of the newer medium-fast to fast-action rods will load and cast easier with a line one weight higher than what the rod is rated for. It can vary by rod, however. For example, the Loomis GL3 6 weight I used to have (crunched it on an ice shelf!) was a joy to cast with a 7 weight line whereas it’s replacement - a GL3 7 weight - is a true 7.

Spey-rods are the sexy "in-thing". For the most part, however, the size and character of the Salmon River - especially above North Fork - isn’t really conducive to getting the most out of a spey rod. Certainly, there are runs where a spey rod would shine over a single-handed rod but there are more runs where one wouldn’t be of any particular advantage. There also are a lot of small tight runs next to shore where it may actually be a disadvantage to use a spey rod. The bottom line is if you own a spey rod and are proficient with it, bring it. On the other hand, if you don’t own one, don’t think you are short-changing yourself. A single-handed rod will do nicely.

ReelsThere are many excellent reels in the $100 to $200 range and even a number made by reputable firms for under $100 that will do an adequate job. Regardless of who makes it, it should have a disc-drag, a variant thereof (like the Pflueger Medalist), or a conical drag system like Lamson reels. The simple "click" pawl drag (often plastic) won't quite do when a big hen or buck blows up on you! Rim control is nice but not critical. The reel should also have capacity for the line 75 yards or more of 20# - 30# backing. The Loomis "Venture", Lamson "Konic", and the Scientific Angler's "System 2" are examples of moderately priced reels with proven records.

For years, the venerable old Pflueger Medalist 1495 and 1495½ was the standard for steelhead reels. I've caught a lot of fish on one including steelhead, barracuda, bonito, and bass. Rim control is the only difference between the original and the newer, 1500 series. The Medalist isn't the smoothest nor the prettiest reel on the market but it is strong and unfailingly dependable. You can still get a reel and spare spool for under $50. If you're only going to have one outfit, an extra spool would be advised - makes it a whole lot easier to switch between your floating and sink-tip line.

LinesIf the water temperature is in the mid to high 40's or above, it's time to hunt steelhead on the surface with waking or skating flies. It can be pretty scary!! A double taper (DT) works well as do weight forward (WF) lines that have a longer rear taper to the head. An example of this type WF line is Scientific Angler's Steelhead Taper. Rio, Cortland, Cabela's, and Airflo all make similar profile lines. A regular WF will do but the short stubby head and thin running line makes mending more difficult if you have much line out.

Productive fly rodding is strictly a subsurface proposition below about 45 degrees. Most of our water is relatively shallow and a 10'-15' sink tip works very well. A 20' sink tip is probably maximum and a full sink is a "no-go". Type IV (3.75 – 5.25 isp) and V (5.5 – 6.5 isp) sink tip lines are very effective on our water. Type II's and III's will work ok if you already have one, but you'll probably have to add extra weight for effective deep swing work. Floating lines and long leaders (with or without strike indicators) can also be used very effectively using essentially a dead-drift "nymphing" or "high stick" technique. This technique is ideal for running egg patterns through those close tight narrow runs that are difficult to fish any other way.

LeadersThe old Ritz formula (60% butt, 20% hinge or taper, and 20% tippet) is hard to beat if you tie your own leaders. As with all aspects of fishing, however, there are no absolutes and with the very short leaders typically used with sink tips (3' - 5'), a butt to tippet ratio something like 65:35 will work as well as anything. Butt sections should be stiff - made of Mason, Maxima "Chameleon" or other leader material with spine. Material like Orvis "Super Strong" nylon makes excellent tippets. I'm not sure it's worth the cost to use flourocarbon - Chris Swersey has reports that it tends to get brittle in very cold water and abrades a bit more than regular nylon. At least on the Salmon, steelhead are generally not especially leader shy and tippets of quality material in the 10# - 15# range will do the job most of the time. Leaders for surface work and "nymphing" are necessarily longer than those for subsurface fishing and will run from about 8' - 10'.

Steelhead fly rod with reel, line, leader and flies

FliesIn any given gang of fish there may be a few who are downright aggressive, some that have to give it some thought, and others (often it seems, most) who could care less about hitting anything. You are looking for the player and, if the truth be known, the player will probably take anything that approaches at the right depth and speed. An old duffer once told me that if you have some big and little dark flies and some big and little colorful flies, you are all set. True, some flies show up better under certain water and light conditions, there are situations where a big gaudy flashy fly may spook fish, and some flies "swim" better than others in certain currents. For the most part, however, the particular pattern is of secondary importance.

With few exceptions, the individual who fishes with confidence, persistence, and at the right depth and speed will be rewarded regardless of what bug he has on the end of the line. That being said, there are some patterns used with some consistency in this area. The green-butt skunk, egg-sucking leach, purple or black bunny, and some bright patterns along the lines of the polar shrimp in sizes 6 - 2 are common.

Egg patterns - either plastic or yarn - are a must! My eggs run from about 3/6" to nearly 5/8" in diameter. As for surface patterns, the Waller waker, bomber, the venerable old muddler, and a thinly dressed riffle-hitched skunk should get any fish willing to go top water. Very small patterns can make the day, especially when it seems the majority of fly rodders are throwing monster bunnies, buggers, and flesh flies. You should carry a few patterns like the green butt skunk, shrimp, and bead head prince nymphs in sizes 8 - 12. You,ll frequently find me fishing one of these tied in a loop trailing a larger gaudier fly. More often than not, the ol, fish will snap a lip over the small trailer - working it,s way up the food chain? Whatever pattern a person chooses, the hook should be barbless and sharp!

Various Steelhead flies

Strike indicators / BobbersThe only time I use an indicator or bobber is when using the technique variously termed "dead drifting", "nymphing", or "high sticking." If you believe the stories, you'd be convinced "real" fly rodders never use bobbers, only strike indicators! Mmmm…not really. If you're suspending your bug at a certain depth for whatever reason, hate to tell you but, you're using a bobber. True, it will also function as a strike indicator but an indicator really doesn't do anything other than help you detect the take. If I can get by without using one, I will. In some situations I think they are actually less sensitive to subtle takes, and depending on what kind you use, they may not be the easiest thing to cast. If wind, rain, snow, lighting, or distance makes it difficult to sense a light take, I won't hesitate to put one on. There is an amazing array of indicators out there! I've tried a good many and have pretty much settled on a little rubber balloon called a "Thingamabobber." They are easy to put on/take off, very reliable, and will certainly catch your eye on the take. I use either the 3/4" or 1" but an ace fly rodding friend of mine will often use the 1 ¼" model.

Bath cycle bridge work 'ruining Linear Park'

Posted by admin on February 21, 2012 No comments

20 February 2012 Last updated at 08:17 ET Share this page Sustrans wants to make a continuous route through Linear Park
Preparatory works for two steel cycle bridges in Bath have ruined the landscape, it has been claimed.

Sustrans has cleared woodland in order to make a route through Linear Park in the south of the city.

Neighbour Susie Towers said it "looks like a bomb's been dropped". She added: "It was full of a variety of trees – hazel, willow and silver birch."

Sustrans said the same number of trees would be re-planted when the work was complete.

Peter Valentine, another nearby resident, added he thought the bridges were "unnecessary" because people could just walk across the road.

Adrian Roper, regional south west director of sustainable transport charity Sustrans, said the bridges were part of the two tunnels route, which would link with the Bristol-Bath path and eventually go out towards Midford and the national cycle route.

"It's a really fantastic route and these two bridges are an essential element of it because what they'll do is provide a continuous route and stop people from having to go up and down both these roads," he said.

He said fewer trees – about 20 – had been removed than were detailed in the planning application, and that "probably more" would be planted when the work was complete.

What you heard was the sound of a fish jumping in the water that sits nearby where you rest. Where else can professional people attain outstanding willow desires?

Richard Fifer Weeping Willow

The weeping willow is a tree that is best known as ornamental plant than as a medicinal plant. It grows in both Europe and America and is very common on the banks of rivers and lakes. Panama uses it a lot to reforest newly built neighborhoods.

However, the weeping willow has healing properties also. Unlike most medicinal plants, in which healing substances are found in the leaves and flowers, the willow’s curative substance found in the bark. It is a white and crystalline substance called salicin.

Before the discovery of quinine and the cinchona tree, salicin was the greatest febrifuge in the world. In addition to his virtue to control fever from various causes, including malaria, willow bark also has healing properties, prevents hair fall, removes dandruff and helps remove corns and warts.

Uses: To relieve fever prepare an infusion with 2 tablespoons of willow bark in a pint of water, boil for 10 minutes, divide into four parts and drink during the course of the day.

To eliminate dandruff and prevent hair loss, cook 10 tablespoons of willow bark in a liter of water for 15 minutes. Let it stand and once the liquid is completely cool to use to wash your hair every day.

The same infusion is an effective healer. Use it to wash wounds and skin conditions for rapid cure.

To remove corns and warts, you should burn the bark of the willow tree until reduced to ashes. These ashes should be mixed with vinegar. The resulting mixture is applied on corns or warts, cover with a bandage and leave overnight. Repeat until the wart or callus fall, which must occur no later than one week.

Hangin’ around with Austin’s monkeys

Posted by admin on February 20, 2012 No comments

Published 4:03pm Saturday, January 28, 2012
Several readers suggested that I look into the history of the monkey house at Horace Austin State Park. This story from 1934 was published in “Mill on the Willow: A History of Mower County, Minnesota.”

“A popular notion that peanuts are a monkey’s favorite food was discounted today by Fred Mann, custodian of the Horace Austin State Park, who explained what is being fed to the five monkeys here. “They like corn and wheat more than anything else.”

Before they were sent to Austin, the five monkeys apparently did not receive the best of care, and they arrived here thin and hungry, they have been eating almost constantly since their arrival.

They are African monkeys. Two of them are less than a year old, while the other three are between one and three years of age.

Unless people stop annoying the monkeys, it may become necessary to cover the cage for certain periods of the day and give the animals a rest. Spectators seem to expect the monkeys to perform all day long. Some have resorted to the use of sticks and other methods to keep the animals in action.

Children seem to have a better understanding as to how to treat the monkeys.”
