The solar tour is over. I missed it myself, as I was collecting solar rays on a Florida Gulf beach. The water was a balmy 72 degrees, a nice relief from the 90-degree heat reflecting off the white sandy beach. Now I am back with a finish up on the Interview with David Boyd, Executive Director of Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA): John Ash: Lets talk about the Energy Authority. What does the RCEA do? David Boyd: RCEA is a local joint powers authority. We are located at 517 Fifth St. in Eureka between F and G. It's a partnership of all seven incorporated cities and the county government. Their goal is to help develop sustainable energy -- efficient, clean, renewable, and affordable energy for Humboldt County. We have been in existence since 2003, and for the first several years we were an information-only program.
Hearing of Weber's death in 1920, many in the German academic community might have thought the news referred to Alfred Weber, Professor of Economics at the University of Heidelberg. While his elder brother Max had recently made a forceful return to public affairs, he was still known principally as the fin de siècle advocate of a muscular national imperialism and the author of some significant, albeit occasional, articles in specialist journals. Although he had tentatively resumed teaching and a more overt political role—having resigned his own post at Heidelberg in 1903, due to a deep depressive illness—Max Weber's scholarly reputation remained limited at the time of his death to a relatively narrow intellectual circle in Mitteleuropa. Thereafter, the elder brother reclaimed his birthright; only a few years later, Alfred could complain that his own students were more interested in ‘Marx and Max' than in himself.
LEOMINSTER -- Sharon Kubik decided two years ago that her small three-bedroom gambrel house wasn't big enough for her, her husband and her three sons. "I wanted a garage. I am too old to be shoveling snow off my car at 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning," Kubik, 44, said while standing outside her home. "I was tired of sharing a bathroom with three boys." The family's 1,632 square-foot, two-story house on Birchcroft Road had three bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms. The Kubiks searched for a contractor to build an addition onto their home, but they couldn't find one they liked. So they put their house up for sale and began looking for a bigger home, hoping to stay in the city. "But I wasn't objecting to moving outside of Leominster," Kubik said. But Kubik found something wrong with all the houses they looked at, and she began to worry about uprooting her sons -- Daniel, 20, Julian, 16, and Bradley, 12.
Engineering results this week will likely determine if the city's first residential hospice will proceed with or without a basement. Beth Ellis, executive director of the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice, said construction crews at the site of Bob's House, a new $4.2 million hospice at Stone Church and Upper Wellington, have come across ground rock about 1.5 metres (five feet) below the surface at some spots on the property. They were hoping to dig down at least 2.7 metres (nine feet) before they begin pouring the foundation. Ms. Ellis said the higher then expected ground rock means the project may proceed without a basement if it's determined there is too much rock in the way. She noted blasting or increasing the height of the hospice is not being considered as that would add another $200,000 to the construction cost, something the non-profit organization can't afford.
