The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:

\”Take only ONE. God is watching.\”

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

A child had written a note, \”Take all you want. God is watching the apples.

Preventing Unwanted Urination.

By Allan

There are a number of reasons why dogs have problems with inappropriate urination and in some cases defecation.

Unfortunately most dog owners don\’t understand why this happens and are unsure what to do.

It can even happen to dogs that have been trained and housebroken.

Many dog owners who are unable to address the problem simply take their dog to the pound as they assume there is no alternative to the problem that they are unable to solve.

Unwanted urination is a very common problem that many dog owners face and is more common than most people would assume.

You will need to eliminate any medical reasons first, as there could be bladder infections that are causing the urination, but aside from that there are other reasons why dogs will urinate.

One of the most common reasons for a dog to lose control of it\’s bladder is from excitement and you will generally see this happen a lot more with puppies. With puppies this is a lack of bladder
control that will generally stop, as they get older.

Puppies are often unaware that they are urinating when they get excited and to reprimand them for doing this will cause confusion. To get angry with your dog for excitement urination can lead to
other problems where the dog will begin to urinate from submissiveness rather than excitement thereby creating another problem that will need to be addressed.

With excitement urination the best cure is prevention and that is achieved by not allowing your dog to get overly excited. And the best way to stop your dog getting over excited in certain
circumstances is to expose him/her to those situations more often until they no longer get excited to the extent that they urinate. Puppies will eventually grow out of excitement urination
as they develop better bladder control.

Submissive urination is something that is common in the wild, where dogs, being pack animals, show their submissiveness to the leader of the pack by
lowering themselves and urinating. Where a dog is showing signs of submissive urination this is effectively a sign of insecurity and is very often associated with dogs that have been abused.

It can be difficult to correct submissive urination and quite often the best method is to ignore what is happening and focus on developing a better relationship with your pet and help to
build it\’s self confidence.

Thanks,

Tony Sidoti\’s dedication to his job as the Gloucester Catholic High School athletic director may very well have saved his life.

\”He didn\’t go to school, and if he\’s late he calls in,\” said Catholic baseball coach Dennis Barth. \”The lady in the office (tried to call him, then) called his parents. His father and brother went over, and he was there unconscious.\”

Sidoti has spent the last week recovering at Cooper, undergoing numerous tests to try and further isolate the problem. Sidoti had been working over the past year or so to get his weight under control.

His illness was a shock to the Gloucester Catholic community, which is uncommonly tight despite its students coming from all over the area.

Many well-wishers have visited and sent messages to Sidoti in recent days, something his parents encourage of Umba and anyone else concerned about their son\’s condition. continues

Gulf + Western Agrees to Delaware River Cleanup   The largest discharge of industrial water pollution on the east coast of the U.S.-effluent from a Gulf + Western Industries titanium dioxide plant in Gloucester City, New Jersey-is beginning to be cleared up as a result of an agreement reached in August between Gulf + Western and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The effluent, consisting of a sulfuric acid along with iron, aluminum, chromium, zinc, and other suspended and dissolved solids, has been released into the Delaware River at the rate of up to I I million gallons per day ever since the plant began operating more than 40 years ago. \”It\’s been going on for so long that in the area of the plume (which stretches for about a mile downriver) you don\’t have anything alive at all,\” said Arnold Schiffman, director of DEP\’s Division of Water Resources. \”The pollutants interfere with the use of the river in terms of fish and other organisms, and they make the river murky and turbid,\” Schiffman said. Under the terms of Gulf + Western\’s agreement with the DEP, the company will have 57 months to bring its effluent in line with state and regional water quality standards by neutralizing most of the acid contained in the effluent and by treating it to remove other pollutants. A byproduct of the acid-neutralization process,- gypsum, may be marketed by Gulf + Western to cement and wallboard manufacturers, as stipulated in the \”consent order\” signed between the company and the DEP. The Gloucester City plant will produce nearly six times as much gypsum as it does titanium dioxide (a pigment used in paints and other products), and it may even adopt gypsum as its primary product with titanium dioxide as the byproduct. According to New Jersey officials, no other plants in the U.S. which produce gypsum as a byproduct of acid neutralization processes have taken the extra step of converting the gypsum into a marketable form. \”Gulf + Western has a branch involved in the cement industry, so we have access to the necessary technical expertise,\” said company spokesperson -Gordon Smith. \”We just need to solve the problem of working with cement companies to commercialize the gypsum, but we\’re very hopeful that this can be done.\” The company will spend an estimated $34 million to clean up the Gloucester City effluent, and it has also agreed to pay $500,000 for improvements to the Gloucester City water system, including a new municipal well. New Jersey also last month became one of the first states in the U.S. to establish an autonomous agency to oversee the locating of hazardous waste disposal sites. Under legislation signed by New Jersey governor Brendan Byrne, the state Hazardous Waste Facilities Siting Commission-consisting of three state or local officials \’ three industry representatives, and three environmental or public interest group representatives-will have responsibility for selecting appropriate sites for disposal of hazardous wastes, licensing their users, and drawing up a state-wide hazardous waste disposal plan reflecting the need for such sites. Sierra Club spokesperson Diane Graves, who was involved in drafting the state law setting up the commission, expressed satisfaction with the outcome. \”Overall, the provisions we wanted in it, for involving local people in the whole process, including the siting process, are there,\” she said. \”The chemical industry and hazardous waste industry grumbled, but they recognized that if they wanted (waste disposal) sites they\’d have to go along\” with citizens\’ and environmentalists\’ proposals for setting up the siting procedure.

Notice of Proposed Administrative Order on Consent for Removal

Action Under Sections 104, 106(a), 107, and 122 of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, Regarding the

Vanguard Vinyl Siding, Inc. Site, Gloucester City, New Jersey

 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

 

ACTION: Notice of proposed administrative order on consent for removal

action and opportunity for public comment.

 

———————————————————————–

 

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 122(i) of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended

(“CERCLA\’\’), 42 USC Sec. 9622(i), the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (“EPA\’\’) Region II announces a proposed Administrative Order on

Consent for Removal Action under sections 104, 106(a), 107, and 122 of

CERCLA, relating to the Vanguard Vinyl Siding, Inc. Site (“Site\’\’),

Gloucester City, New Jersey. This Site is not on the National

Priorities List established pursuant to section 105(a) of CERCLA. This

notice is being published to inform the public of the proposed Order

and of the opportunity to comment.

The Administrative Order on Consent for Removal Action (the

“Order\’\’), is being entered into by GAF Corporation (“GAF\’\’) and EPA.

The Site occupies approximately two acres in an industrial section

of Gloucester City, New Jersey, near the Delaware River.

GAF commercially produced asbestos-containing insulating products

at the Site from 1967 to October 1971. In 1981, GAF sold the Site to

Vanguard Vinyl Siding, Inc. The Site was abandoned in 1985 and is

currently unoccupied.

The objective of this Order is to eliminate the threat of contact

with asbestos posed at the Site. Under the Order, GAF will remediate

three sources of asbestos on Site.

The first source of asbestos contamination at the Site is the

asbestos that was stabilized during an initial removal action

undertaken by EPA. This asbestos is currently double-bagged and staged

inside a building on the Site. The second source of asbestos

contamination is the asbestos materials inside a 10,000 gallon tank

located in a courtyard. The third source is the asbestos contaminated

soil in the courtyard.

GAF will dispose of the double-bagged asbestos currently staged

inside the on-site building. GAF will also remove and dispose of the

tank in the courtyard, or, will remove the asbestos from the tank,

decontaminate the tank, and dispose of the asbestos. GAF will sample

soil in the courtyard and surrounding the tank to determine the extent

of soil containing more than 1 percent asbestos (“asbestos

contaminated soil\’\’). GAF will either: (1) Excavate, remove, and

dispose of, or, (2) cap, asbestos contaminated soil situated in the

courtyard. GAF will backfill any excavated areas with clean fill.

Under this Order, GAF agrees to reimburse EPA\’s past response costs

in the amount of one hundred seventy-eight thousand dollars

($178,000.00). GAF will also reimburse EPA for future response costs,

if any.

 

DATES: EPA will accept written comments relating to the proposed

settlement for a period of thirty days from the date of publication of

this notice.

 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to: Delmar Karlen, Chief, New Jersey

Superfund Branch, Office of Regional Counsel, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, 290 Broadway, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10007-1866.

Comments should reference the Vanguard Vinyl Siding, Inc. Site and EPA
