PSC is empowered to make and enforce its own regulations.If legislators prevail here, PSC Executive Counsel Brandon Frey argues, lawmakers could eventually determine, say, what profit privately owned utilities could make, thereby taking over the PSC’s function of setting the rates by which monthly electricity bills are calculated.The regulations that define how truckers are certified were written to decrease chaos and limit the task of hauling the dangerous byproducts to companies that met specific standards. But the procedures allowed for the handful of companies granted permits to directly challenge the applications of potential competitors in open hearings.Critics contended that the truckers already certified had become a cartel bent on monopolizing the hazardous waste hauling industry in this state.Reacting to those claims, legislators tossed much of the PSC’s regulations and said, basically, that the commissioners should only concern themselves with whether the hauler had the proper equipment, insurance and financing.“This is not about safety. It’s about free enterprise. It’s about fair competition,” State Sen. Dan “Blade” Morrish, R-Jennings, argued during the legislative session.Arguing that the government regulators of private monopolies had created their own monopoly …The new rules approved by the PSC on Wednesday address a number of the changes legislators put in the new law.From now on, the PSC staff lawyers and experts will review applications, including financial documents, behind closed doors. Then they’ll make a recommendation on which the five elected commissioners can vote.If the existing companies want to challenge an application, they’ll have to make their presentation to PSC staff, rather than at an open hearing.The commissioners, however, kept the ancient term “public convenience and necessity,” which is the standard used to determine if a company gets a certificate to haul waste. The Legislature thought the phrase was archaic and lacked specific guidelines.Under the system in place before Wednesday’s vote, the PSC required applicants to show a need existed in a territory that’s not being served.The new PSC rule defines the term more generally. For instance, applicants must show a need for their service, such as more waste being created, but no longer have to worry about competitors i... (The Advocate)
Sept. 21, and involved a third vehicle, said Liberty Township Fire Chief Brandon Hughes.The rolled-over hauler left an estimated 60 yards of gravel on the road and about 120 gallons of diesel fuel and hydraulic fluid leaking, Hughes said.Jackson County hazmat, Michigan Department of Transportation and Jackson County Department of Transportation crews were at the scene to assist in the cleanup, Hughes said. The Department of Environmental Quality has been notified of the spill, which has been contained at the road, he said.According to witnesses, the northbound Ford was attempting to make a left-hand turn onto Cook Road when it was struck from behind by the northbound hauler, Hughes said.Jim Jarvis, the driver of the Ford, said he saw the hauler in his rear-view mirror and turned his blinker on earlier than he normally would. He was a semi-trailer driver for 20 years, he said."I was three quarters into my turn and next thing I knew, I was doing three or four 360s and ended up way over there (off the road)," Jarvis said.Jarvis refused medical treatment at the scene, Hughes said.The third vehicle involved was a Chevrolet Impala, whose driver was transported to Henry Ford Allegiance Health in critical condition, Hughes said. She was pinned in the vehi... (MLive.com)
It's a dented, banged up, metal trash can. "The trash can is what we use for turnovers," Co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Brandon Cooper said after Friday's practice. "Anytime we get a turnover or take the ball away from the offense, we celebrate those victories with the trash can." Essentially, the trash can's role can be simplified to this: Whenever the defense records an interception, scoops a fumble or blocks a kick in a practice scrimmage, the can is brought out the field, bear-hugged and held in the air, acting as an impromptu basketball hoop.Naturally, the football is then dunked. "We talk about creating momentum," Cooper said. "It's like that rim-shaking dunk in basketball that creates momentum for that team. We're trying to emphasize that with the defense."This odd, effective strategy started in the spring and carried over into summer camp. During a typical Austin Peay football practice, the can is dragged, pulled, tossed and hoisted up and down the defensive sideline, waiting for an opportunity to see the field. During Friday's practice, Malik Davis made sure the can got in on the action. Safety Malik Davis' pass break up ability will pair nicely with Malik Boynton's physical and smack talking style. (Photo: PROVIDED Kevin Young/Austin Peay Athletics)The junior defensive back from Chattanooga broke toward the sideline and picked off sophomore quarterback JaVaughn Craig during the scrimmage, diving as he made the snag in front of his defensive teammates.Davis quickly hopped to his feet and ran around the field like he'd just secured the game-winning turnover in a championship game. He was immediately swarmed by a pile of fellow defenders, who yelled, jumped and shoved Davis as he made the rounds. Then everyone's attention turned to the trash can. Sophomore defensive back Trent Taylor grabbed the can and walked to the field. Taylor held it high in the air, beating it and nodding his... (Clarksville Leaf Chronicle)

"Hopefully people will come."The events will be alcohol-free, which Sanchez said is out of respect for those fighting addiction who gather in the park. A hot dog cart run by the Wilmington-based Rick VanStory Resource Center, a recovery-oriented service for people with psychiatric disabilities, will sell snacks at the events. Sanchez hopes the cleanup effort will attract nearby residents to the park even when there is not a major event. He envisions a park where Delaware Technical Community College students and downtown workers and residents gather to read or eat lunch on one of its benches.span class="m... (The News Journal)
