“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Jones may have discarded evidence of the boy's death, including possibly his body, in a dumpster.Katy Higgins lived in Navy housing in Golden Hill in April 2002, the same time Jones was there with Jahi.The toddler’s mother, Tameka Jones, was away from San Diego on duty with the Navy.Trial Begins for Man Accused of Killing Toddler Jahi TurnerHiggins told the jury the trash bags were full. She said she could see Jones walking down the stairs, from his apartment, and that he also saw her.“He just looked, and glanced and me, and looked away really quickly, almost like an awkward (kind of) eye contact,” Higgins told the jury.The testimony is important because prosecutors do not have any direct evidence that Jones killed his stepson.Jahi’s body was never found, there are no witnesses to the alleged crime, and no confession by the suspect, so prosecutors are building a case based on mainly on circumstantial evidence.Another witness testified she too saw Jones dumping trash bags; other witnesses have told the jury they never saw Jones together with the little boy up to, and on, the day Jahi disappeared.But Jahi’s lawyer managed to extract some positive testimony today, from a witness for the prosecution.Lisa Davies, who was a San Diego police patrol officer when Jones reported Jahi missing from Golden Hill Park, told jurors Jones appeared nervous, high-strung and showed signs of drug use whe...

That legislation didn’t move forward and a similar state bill introduced recently also died.Kuehl noted that 110 municipalities across the Golden State, including Pasadena, Calabasas, Hermosa Beach and West Hollywood, adopted ordinances prohibiting or restricting polystyrene containers and other ware. She said since the county last studied the issue, there are new technologies and products that are environmentally friendly, biodegradable and cost-effective.But while members of organizations such as Heal the Bay, the Surfrider Foundation, and a local chapter of the Sierra Club all applauded the county’s efforts, representatives of other organizations such as Valley Industry Commerce Association, BizFed, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, and the California Grocers Association spoke out against the idea, saying that there were too many misconceptions about polystyrene.Adena Tessler, a spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Association, asked the board to take into consideration what a proposed ban would mean to small family owned restaurants. “Family restaurants in L.A. County are currently struggling to adjust to the minimum wage hike,” she said, adding that new products out there won’t reduce landfill waste.Anne Nguyen, with the Dart Container Corporation, said the company hires 650 Californians and a ban would threaten employment. The company, she said wants to work to improve its products, but the alternatives to polystyrene can’t be recycled. AdvertisementPolystyrene, some who spoke out noted, is only recyclable if there is no food waste on it. Manhattan Beach Mayor David Lesser said family owned restaurants had adjusted fine and found alternatives when his city adopted a ban in 2013.“Nearly 90 percent of our merchants are in compliance,” David Lesser. “It’s viewed as a success.”Hahn said she wanted the feasibility study to include voices from business owners as well, but she has noticed the plastic waste along the coastal areas of her district.“ I have many beaches in the district I represent,” she said. “A lot of this (polystyrene) ends up in our beaches and threatens are beautiful ecosystems.”County departments are expected to present a feasibility study in 120 days.Kuehl also introduced a motion that members of the Board also passed that looks into whether all new construction, building additions or major roof replacements in the unincorporated areas of the county can use “cool ...

T-shirts to volunteers each year with the “Slam Dunk The Junk” logo. She even awards the top trash collectors with “Golden Brooms,” painted by Anderson to acknowledge their efforts.By continually introducing incentives, Anderson has given life to the cleanup program and turns it into something fresh and new every year. Anderson’s favorite age demographic for cleanups is teenagers.“The cans and bottles that you throw on the ground could be recycled,” Anderson said. “We are trying to save the environment and keep our city clean.”She is working for more litter enforcement in Newark.“You can give out materials and brochures, but until you hit their pockets, they won’t care,” said Anderson. Working with NJCCC, Anderson wants to continue the city’s annual recycling summit, founded in 2015, where Anderson brought in an EPA spokesperson, mayor, and council to discuss how a community can effectively increase recycling.In addition, she hopes to implement a poster contest, where kids can create drawings to be featured on a billboard for clean communities.Said Anderson: “Young people are the future. They have to take it to the next level, the government, state – wherever it can go even further.” Anderson admits her job isn’t always easy, but is committed to community education.“Recycling is a process. Clean Communities is a process,” she said. “We’re trying to get people to do what they’re supposed to do.”NJCCC is a comprehensive, statewide litter-abatement program that has served New Jersey residents and visitors for more than 25 years.

Whichever type of players the brand-new Vegas Golden Knights select on Wednesday will begin to shape the brand-new team’s roster. The team will take one player from each NHL team in the league’s first expansion draft in nearly two decades. This week, the 30 existing franchises submitted their protected-player lists — teams could shield a designated number of players from the draft1 — and the Golden Knights will get their pick of the rest.To get a sense for what kind of talent is available at the Knights’ perusal, we plotted out each player’s goals above replacementPoint Shares that is set against the league’s replacement level and scaled to the same range of values as Hockey Prospectus’s Goals Versus Threshold.">2 against his salary-cap hit from last season:To nobody’s surprise, the best players — expensive or not — tend to be protected by their current teams. With 15.7 goals above replacement, Washington’s T.J. Oshie was the most productive unprotected player last season, though he’s also an unrestricted free agent and the Knights will still need to reach a deal with him (which may be a hard sell for a team that’s unlikely to compete). At the other end of the spectrum, we ...
