Utah Man Wants 'In God We Trust' In All Classrooms

*** begin quote ***

SALT LAKE CITY - If Oak Norton gets his way every Utah classroom will soon display a poster bearing a simple, patriotic message: ``In God We Trust.''

*** end quote ***

Yup that will solve all the problems. By the way, who is “we”? I don’t feel very “we-ish” today. I’m sure all my fellow alums will see immediately how this comment worthy this is. I look forward to “eddy-fication”.

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

OBITS

(Memento Mori)

Operators of Legacy dot com claim “what problem”. You have to love the ability of support people to deny a problem in the face of an email thread which includes email from their own people saying we see a problem and are fixing it. Great Brother Jasper’s Ghost!!! That is aggravating. Argh! Not sure it’s fixed.

No, the mcALUMdb itself is lost. To some extent no surprise. And, it’s discouraging. And, it puts a bigger load on MikeMcE who is supplying the “class look up function” for me.

Aqua Pennsylvania Strengthen Water Operations Management

***Begin Quote***

BRYN MAWR, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aqua Pennsylvania, Inc. today announced a new management lineup. Steve Tagert, who previously held the position of vice president, production, has been named vice president, network. Tagert takes the place of Tom Roberts, who was recently promoted to president of Aqua America’s North Carolina subsidiary.

{Extraneous Deleted}

To replace two long-term Aqua employees who are retiring in the areas of construction management and water quality, Aqua has promoted from within for one position, and sought out new talent for the other. Aqua’s David Hughes has accepted the position of manager, construction, and will be responsible for all major multi-million dollar capital program, supervising projects at the company’s plants, boosters and tanks.

{Extraneous Deleted}

Colleen Arnold has been named manager, treatment, where she will be responsible for water quality decisions and chemical applications at the company’s production facilities (plants and wells). Arnold joins Aqua from the City of Wilmington, Delaware, where she was the water quality manager since 2003. Prior to her role in Wilmington, Arnold has held various engineering positions since 1994.

Arnold has a Master of Environmental Engineering from Manhattan College and a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering from the University of Massachusetts. In addition to being a licensed engineer, Arnold is a member of the American Water Works Association, American Water Resources Association and Water Environment Federation. Arnold’s new position takes effect on July 9, 2007.

“With the hiring of these two outside talents (Lucca and Arnold), we’ve added depth to Aqua’s already talented management team,” said Kyriss. “This new structure coupled with existing talent positions Aqua to continue to move forward as Aqua America’s largest operating subsidiary.”

Aqua provides water and wastewater services to approximately 1.4 million people throughout Pennsylvania, including 1.3 million people in Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks and Berks counties. It is the largest subsidiary of Aqua America, Inc., the U.S.-based, publicly traded water and wastewater utility holding company, which serves approximately 2.8 million people in 13 states.
