Planning develops for Eden Project North

18 Jun 19 Plans to build a new £85m Eden Project in Morecambe are gaining momentum with the first planning report submitted to Lancaster City Council today, 18th June.

Eden Project North is expected to take two years to build
Eden Project North is expected to take two years to build

The Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Report is the first stage in the preparation of the Environmental Impact Assessment and planning application for Eden Project North.

The report, submitted by Eden Project International Limited (EPIL), outlines further detail on the proposed £85m development.

The project will reflect Morecambe’s heritage, offering a vision of a seaside resort for the 21st century including re-imagined lidos, gardens, performance spaces, immersive experiences and observatories.

The original Eden Project in Cornwall opened in 2001 and comprises two geodesic domes housing thousands of different plant species. It is a major tourist attraction, drawing more than a millions visitors a year.

EPIL is the global wing of the Eden Project, whose ambition is to create projects inspired by the original Cornish vision in every habitable continent on earth. It is currently working on projects in China, Australia, Dubai, the USA and the UK.

EPIL estimates that Eden Project North will attract around 760,000 visitors per year but it will be designed to accommodate up to a million, with a daily capacity of 4,000 people.

Eden Project North would have a 4,000-capacity outdoor arena designed for live music and entertainment.

The report reveals that buildings will have a maximum height of 37.3 metres, no taller than the adjacent Grade II* listed Midland Hotel.

Eden will undertake detailed public consultation this summer and autumn and aims to submit the Environmental Statement alongside the planning application in spring 2020.

The goal is to open in spring 2023, following a two-year construction period.

David Harland, chief executive of Eden Project International Limited, said: "This is an important milestone for Eden Project North. Having a positive impact on the internationally significant environment of Morecambe Bay is fundamental to our vision for this project. This report is the next step towards making Eden Project North a reality.

“We have been overwhelmed by the support we have had from the local community and we look forward to working closely with everyone in the coming months and years as Eden Project North takes shape.”

EPIL is working with Lancashire Enterprise Partnership, Lancaster University, Lancashire County Council and Lancaster City Council to deliver Eden Project North.

Each of these has contributed £250,000 towards the cost of designing and planning. This is in addition to £100,000 pledged by the government.

ask a boss

‘My Boss Wants to Change My Job and I’m Not Happy About It!’

Photo: The Cut

Dear Boss,

I started a new job about four months ago. I’ve been in customer-facing tech support for the past six years, and was excited to have my first non-customer-facing role. Now, I do mostly technical writing and lots of project-based content management, and I love it. I’m an expert in the subject matter and it’s been a great environment for me to utilize and expand my skill set.

Recently, my boss has talked about wanting to implement a live chat messaging system where our users can ask questions in real time and get technical help — a sort of help desk. In theory this means that me and two other co-workers would man it, since we’re the most experienced in this field.

This is devastating to me. I’ve done my time getting chewed out by angry customers online and on the phone, carefully explaining technology they have no grasp of. I took this job specifically because I wanted to break out of customer service and focus on growing my actual skill set. I feel like because of my experience in customer service and my thorough knowledge of the product, I’m being pigeonholed.

I need some advice on how to approach my boss and explain that this is not a responsibility I’m willing to take on without putting my job in jeopardy. In my offer letter, it said something like, “the job duties may change based on company need,” but this is basically moving me into a completely different role. If I knew that doing customer service was going to be on the table, I would’ve likely stayed at my last job, where I loved my boss and had a much more collaborative team.

For a little background, this is a very small company, and my boss (the owner/CEO) and I have almost zero relationship. We only really talk to discuss how projects are going or what direction they will take, so I don’t feel very comfortable being candid with him or discussing my career path.

It’s true that most job descriptions say something like, “duties may change based on company need” or “other duties as assigned.” But that doesn’t mean you can’t push back! You can — especially when you have strong feelings about a task and especially when it’s squarely outside the work you were hired to do.

Right now, your boss probably has no idea that you don’t want to take on the help-desk function, and he definitely doesn’t know that you feel as strongly about it as you do. And if he’s a decent manager, he doesn’t want to demoralize a good employee or risk losing you by adding a hated duty that you weren’t warned about before you signed on.

Of course, it’s possible that he could want to keep you happy and yet have no choice about needing to assign the work to you. Jobs evolve, and sometimes they change in ways that the people doing them aren’t thrilled about. Sometimes managers do need to say, “I hear you that you’d rather not do X, but I need someone in this role who can take that on.”

But other times, once they understand someone has very strong feelings about not taking on a particular task, managers are able to work around that. Sometimes that means pulling in others who don’t mind as much. Sometimes it means restructuring your share of the work in a way that makes it more palatable to you. (For example, maybe you’d be happy to advise the people staffing the help desk as long as you don’t have to talk with customers directly.) Sometimes, a manager may even be open to rethinking the plan entirely (“we thought Jane would jump at the chance to do this, but since she’s not, let’s explore other approaches”).

The more valued you are, the more likely your boss is to try to accommodate you. If you’re fairly senior, in a hard-to-fill job, have a track record of excellent work, or have built up a lot of good will (such as by being flexible in the past), those things all help. In your case, you’ve only been there four months, which makes it harder to check off most of those boxes, but your newness might work for you in a different way: You were just hired into a job that didn’t include this work — and your boss probably doesn’t want you to feel like it was a bait and switch.

Of course, so far all of this is speculation. Your boss might turn out to be flexible, or he could refuse to budge. We don’t know yet.

So, the first step is to talk to him. Ask to meet, and say something like this: “I wanted to talk to you about the plans for the help desk. I took this job specifically because I wanted to get away from doing customer-facing tech support. It was the reason I began job searching, and it was a big factor in me signing on here. I love the work I’ve been doing — it’s exactly what I was looking for — and it’s really important to me not to go back to customer support. I’m hoping there might be a way to keep my job as it’s been and not add this on to it.” If your sense is that you could safely add this, you could also say, “To be fully transparent, I feel so strongly about this that if I’d known the role would end up including a help desk component, I wouldn’t have taken the job.”

And then see what he says. Based on how the conversation goes, at some point it might be useful to say, “I want to be clear that I understand that jobs evolve, and in general I’m very open to that. This just happens to be the one thing I was specifically changing jobs to get away from.”

From there, you’ll get a better idea of whether there’s some flexibility, or whether the help desk is now going to be part of your job regardless. If your boss isn’t willing to budge, you’ll need to decide if you still want the job under these conditions. (If that does happen, you might see if you can negotiate to have the assignment be temporary rather than permanent.)

Last, I know you said you’re not comfortable being really candid with your boss. But to give yourself the best chance of a good outcome here, you do have to open up a little. It’s key for your boss to understand that you don’t object to taking on new responsibilities in general, but changed jobs specifically to avoid this one. Good luck!

Chainlink (LINK) Price Hits Resistance at $40: What’s Next?

April 28, 2021 0 Comments

This post was originally published on this site

Chainlink is struggling to break past the $40 resistance point as the broader market stagnates following recent gains

The broader cryptocurrency market began the week positively, recording gains and recovering some of the losses incurred last week. The rally has now ended however, with Bitcoin and some other leading cryptocurrencies recording slower growth over the last couple of days.

Chainlink is also in this category. The 12th-largest cryptocurrency by market cap is only up by 0.2% over the past 24 hours. LINK has been trading around the $35 region and is finding it hard to break past major resistance at $40.

It will need the broader market to rally again if it is to surpass this barrier and aim to trade higher in the coming days.

Dusk Network to integrate with Chainlink

LINK’s struggles over the past 24 hours are despite the Dusk Network announcement of plans to integrate with Chainlink. The integration will see the decentralised finance (DeFi) ecosystem enjoy expanded privacy features. Dusk will leverage the price feed data from Chainlink’s oracle network to support genuine privacy in the DeFi space for secure and trusted cross-chain bridges.

LINK price outlook

LINK has been stuck at the $35 region for the past few hours, with bulls struggling to push it past the next resistance point.

If the trend continues, bears could regain control, leading to a massive price loss. At the moment, LINK is trading below its 100-day simple moving average at $36.53.

The MACD line is struggling to break out of its bearish zone, while an RSI in the neutral region means that the market could move in either direction. Barring a massive sell-off, bulls should be able to defend the $30 support point.

However, in the case of a breakout, the LINK/USD pair could move past the $40 resistance point and attempt a new all-time high at $45. However, it would need help from the broader cryptocurrency market as Bitcoin and other leading altcoins have stagnated in the past few hours.

Hallucinate on the Shores of Hawaii with Diaz’ Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

QUT grad Ana Diaz has cast her eyes from Australia’s Sunshine State to the shores of Hawaii for her third offering. Inspired by the intense dream-like state felt by delirious Japanese settlers when they first set foot on the island, Diaz’ Spring/Summer 2012 collection ‘Edo Tropicana’ offers a sun-drenched escape from the chilly season.

Diaz made her debut only last year at the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival as the only Queenslander in the National Graduate Showcase. Rapidly garnering attention thanks to her quirky takes on the traditional, she’s not only churned out two collections further demonstrating her impeccable taste for wearable whimsy but also joined forces with formidable high street retailer Sportsgirl as part of their ‘Sportsgirls Like’ ongoing collaboration series, putting her among the likes of Aje and Antipodium.

‘Edo Tropicana’ is Diaz’ is a visible manifestation of her knack for mixing kooky and classic. Stick a pair of googly eyes on those unnaturally vivid cartoon fruits and they could get a job preaching the importance of eating 5+ a Day on afternoon television, but here they appear on relaxed shapes your mum might pilfer if she knows what’s good for her. Another juxtaposition is that of vivacious island life and traditional Japan, with silk kimono shapes given a Crayola makeover and classic wide-legged trousers rendered in breathable organic cotton. Diaz has also collaborated with jewellery designer Holly Ryan to create a number of handmade earrings and rings which, like those drawstring waists and faded rope belts, further drench the looks in a homespun nonchalance.

Adorning yourself in oversized fruit is going to be a huge thing this season, and this is definitely one of the best ways to do it.

TikTok gets reprieve in U.S. as judge halts download ban

Its request to suspend full ban from Nov. 12 gets rejected

A U.S. federal judge on Sunday halted a politically charged ban ordered by the Donald Trump administration on downloads of the popular video app TikTok, hours before it was set to take effect.

District Judge Carl Nichols issued a temporary injunction at the request of TikTok, which the White House has called a national security threat alleging that its Chinese parent firm is tied to the Beijing government.

The opinion was sealed, so no reason for the decision was released in a one-page order by the court in Washington.

The Trump administration order sought to ban new downloads of the app from midnight but would allow use of TikTok until November 12, when all usage would be blocked. The judge denied TikTok’s request to suspend the November 12 ban.

Judge Nichols heard arguments on the free-speech and national security implications of the ban on the Chinese-owned app.

TikTok lawyer John Hall said a ban would be “punitive” and close off a public forum used by tens of millions of Americans.

Wendy's Harvest Salad Review

Wendy's just released their latest salad on their menu and it has an autumn theme. It is called the Harvest salad and I got to sample it on Tuesday.

The harvest salad has lettuce, sliced grilled chicken, diced red and green apples, dried cranberries, feta cheese, brown sugar walnuts, and Applewood smoked bacon and apple cider vinaigrette dressing.

It is a little similar to their apple pecan salad except the apple pecan salad has blue cheese, pecans, no bacon and it comes with pomegranate vinaigrette. So, there is a slight difference between the two salads but not much.

I usually get their half salads because they are lower in calories. The harvest half salad has 320 calories and the apple pecan salad has 340 calories. The full harvest and apple pecan salad both have about 560-570 respectfully.

Thumbs up or Thumbs down?

I like the new Wendy's Harvest salad but I think the feta cheese doesn't agree with me. I have eaten it twice already and I have gotten a stomach ache from it each time. I have a slight milk allergy and I think that the feta cheese is upsetting my stomach. I don't get that when I eat the apple pecan salad.

It is definitely a thumbs up. I like the bacon, apples, walnuts and the apple cider vinaigrette. It's a delicious salad and I recommend that you head over to Wendy's to give it a try. Since the salad has an autumn theme, you should get right over there and pick it up before it goes poof. What is your favorite Wendy's salad?

Star studded lineup for St Louis Fresh Festival

This saturday, 28th November St Louis Lager will celebrate the grand opening of summer at Gabrone Club from 12 noon until midnight. Joining in the celebration is the music industry’s crème de la crème which include Zeus, ATI,  Sasa Klass,  Drama Boi, MMP Family, Samantha Mogwe, South Africa’s Black Coffee, Cassper Nyovest, Uhuru, Busiswa and a local lineup of DJ’s including Ricky Lamar, Kuchi, Shimrock, T-Izzy, German Dollar and Vinal Culture.
“Fresh fest has lined up 11 of  Botswana and 4 South Africa’s top acts. We selected perfoming artists basing on who is currently trending and  what is in demand. But you would also realise that we have given more local acts a chance to perform at the fest as opposed to South African artist,” said KBL’s Marketing Manager for Mainstream Brands, Mpho Motlhabane.

Fresh Fest was originally launched in 2012 as Summer Splash Fest, a first of its kind in Botswana as it gave consumers and music enthusiasts the opportunity to pick the lineup of the event from a group of 15 artists and 15 DJ’s. “And this year is no different, with a rebranded experience in line with the new St Louis brand positioning that launched in 2014. Fresh Fest places St Louis lager at the heart of summer celebrations something that Batswana do every year and this is what sets the brand apart as it merely facilitates what the target audience has already been doing all the years,” Motlhabane said.

She further urged patrons to come early to the event to witnesss all the performers and receive early birds gifts. “The security has been beefed up, there is a secured parking at Camp Primary. Empty cooler boxes will be allowed into the event except if there is St Louis lager inside. This event targets a mixed gender of people over the age of 18. There will also be a host of activities some of which have never been seen in Botswana before. Activities like a Zorb ball experience, a dance competition with prizes and a St Louis sun dial, the first of its kind that uses the sun to point out amazing drinks specials. We promise a chilled out and laid back session where you would enjoy music and drinks with friends. We will also cut a ribbon to officiate summer because summer official starts on the 1st of December,” Motlhabane added.

Tickets can be collected from all Liquorama and Tops outlets by buying a case of St Louis lager.

HIFA postponed to 2020

Organisers of Zimbabwe’s largest arts initiative, the Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA) which has in the past hosted Batswana artists announced end of last week that 2019 installment of the festival will not be staged. They revealed that they will be focusing on new projects leading up to a major Festival set for from 28th April to 3rd May 2020.

“The decision has been taken after much thought, soul-searching and discussion. Zimbabwe is dealing with many important issues, both social and economic. In this context, the Festival cannot responsibly commit to presenting a feasible and viable event this year of the same quality and impact that HIFA is known for,” their statement read.

Instead, the festival will use the break to work on other projects, particularly in schools, to broaden and deepen the organisation’s contribution to arts and cultural development as well as using arts and culture to explore social and community issues. HIFA is widely acknowledged as one of the best arts and culture initiatives on the Continent, bringing together corporate investors, embassy and donor partners, local and visiting artists, large and enthusiastic audiences and the media.

Cause of Henderson Downtown Motel fire under investigation; no one injured

Beth Smith
Henderson Gleaner
Henderson firefighters responded to the Henderson Downtown Motel Oct. 27 due to flames shooting out the windows and door of a second-floor unit.

HENDERSON, Ky. — City fire crews battled a blaze Tuesday morning in an apartment at the Henderson Downtown Motel. No one was injured.

Henderson firefighters were dispatched to the motel, 400 block of North Green Street, next to Captain D's, at around 7 a.m.

"There was heavy fire showing out the window and door" of one of the second-floor units when firefighters arrived, according to Assistant Henderson Fire Chief Ayron Thompson.

At this early juncture, Thompson said, a point of origin and the cause of the blaze are still under investigation.

The Henderson Fire Department battled a blaze at the Henderson Downtown Motel Oct. 27. No one was injured.

"The main thing we do know — we know it was rented. Someone was paying for that unit," he said. "They weren't there when we got there, so it's still unknown if they were in the room when the fire started."

Other hotel guests "self evacuated" as fire trucks were arriving on scene, Thompson said.

It appears that people were eventually allowed to return to their rooms.

"I don't believe anyone else was displaced" because of the fire, he said. "We had the fire under control within two to three minutes."

Ukraine has banned the import of all live birds and bird products from the UK, The Netherlands and Germany following the recent bird flu outbreaks in the three countries.

A spokesman for the state veterinary inspectorate told Reuters today (19 November) that the ban would be valid until “the international watchdog says these countries are free from bird flu”.

Defra revealed yesterday that the outbreak discovered at the weekend on an East Yorkshire duck farm was from the same H5N8 strain  found at a poultry farm in the village of Hekendorp, near Utrecht on 16 November, and on a turkey farm in Germany earlier this month.

Defra began culling 6,000 ducks at the Cherry Valley-owned Nafferton Farm near Bridlington this week, while Dutch officials ordered the slaughter of 150,000 hens and imposed a 72-hour ban on all poultry movements across the country.

The percentage of poultry exported to Ukraine from the three countries is believed to be small. “It is worth noting that the majority of poultry produced in the UK is for consumption in the UK,” said British Poultry Council CEO Andrew Large.

The Dutch ban on shipments was reported to have had a significant effect on Germany’s Aldi Sud this week.

The top 10 fairytales

From Hans Christian Andersen to Angela Carter’s Bloody Chamber, Marina Warner picks her favourite fairytales

Why we need fairytales: Jeanette Winterson on Oscar Wilde

Consolatory fantasies or wise counsel? Materialist lies or emancipatory dreams? Popular trash or the fundamental structure of imaginative literature? Fairytales still provoke vigorous argument. Advocates point to the way they ignite the imagination and spark hopes of liberty. Detractors attack their suspect artistic quality and their damaging social and moral effects. Both take up their positions on ethical grounds, because fairytales continue to dominate family entertainment in books and other media. They matter because young minds and the shaping of values are at stake. Yet what they mean and what effects they have remain open questions.

When I first began working on fairytales, they weren’t really considered a proper subject of study, and I felt inhibited about my enjoyment of them: was I betraying my feminist loyalties? Was I letting down the cause of high art and serious literature? But fairytales had grown up in the 70s: Anne Sexton’s savage poems and Angela Carter’s celebrated revisionings took them out of the nursery. Since then, they have been growing ever darker and more disturbing, especially as the Grimm brothers’ violent, deadpan ways of telling now dominate definitions of the genre. On the one hand, they are merging with gothic macabre and comic menace and, on the other, are gradually becoming intertwined with deep psychological explorations of tragedy and myth. Parents are rightly puzzled as to whether they should be reading them to their children, though children relish the gore and vengeance.

The most lingering and powerful tales don’t always have an original written text, but shapeshift through time, bobbing about on the streams of story. I’ve tried to choose 10 of the most inspiring, and include some of the great collectors; but as in any exercise of this kind, there are so many that I have had to leave out.

1. The Juniper Tree by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

A ferocious tale of family strife, cannibalism, magic and restoration, it crystallises the stark character of the Grimms’ collection (interestingly, it was collected and written down by the great romantic dreamer-artist of spooky children, Philipp Otto Runge).

2. The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen

Andersen can be mawkish and morally mean, but this story is as near-perfect a fairytale as can be: the boy Kai, in frozen thrall to a cruel, enchanting mother figure, is saved by the loyalty and courage of Gerda.

3. The Golden Ass or the Transformation of Lucius by Apuleius

It includes The Tale of Cupid and Psyche, the forerunner of so many enchantments and central fairytale motifs: invisible spirits serving delicious banquets, scheming jealous sisters, a mysterious, threatening bridegroom who turns out to be Love himself … The book gave Shakespeare the idea for Bottom’s dream, in the most magical of his fairy plays. I like the Robert Graves translation partly because it is a bit old-fashioned in its wit and ornament.

4. The Tiger’s Bride (from The Bloody Chamber) by Angela Carter

Carter wanted “to put new wine into old bottles and watch them explode”; this is Beauty and the Beast transformed with one of the most delicious closing love scenes from the cognoscente of such delights. A firework display of style, transgressive erotics, elegance, and pleasure.

5. The Tale of Camar al-Zaman and Princess Badoura

It’s hard to pick a single story from Arabian Nights, but this surpasses Aladdin or Ali Baba in wonders and invention: rivalrous jinn, horrific ordeals surmounted, a cross-dressing heroine, and a splendid erotic scene of mistaken identity when the lovers find each other again. Wen-chin Ouyang, in her wonderfully useful recent selection from the 1001 Nights (Everyman, edited with Paulo Horta), includes it in a luscious fin-de-siècle translation.

6. Cinderella

I’m picking two variations from the thousands of possibilities: Giambattista Basile’s The Cinderella Cat, which adds anarchic mischief , madcap metaphors and some surprises to the familiar story; and Charles Perrault’s Donkeyskin, the incestuous version of the Cinderella story, told with courtly irony and humour by the author of the classic Mother Goose tales.

7. Possession by AS Byatt

Byatt dazzlingly folds many stories of enchantments, one inside the other, and embroiders on the medieval figure of Melusine, the precursor of several other watery fairies, such as Andersen’s The Little Mermaid and Undine by La Motte Fouqué.

8. Dear As Salt by Italo Calvino

This is just one of the hundreds of stories in the Italian novelist’s wonderfully rich collection from 1956 – a succinct, touching fable about the limits of love that lies behind the bleak opening scene of King Lear.

9. Mr Fox, from Joseph Jacobs’ English Folk Tales

The most spirited and satisfying Bluebeard: a trickster heroine, a perfect revenge, and the thrilling refrain “Be bold but not too bold/ Lest that your heart’s blood should run cold.” Helen Oyeyemi reworks it compellingly in her recent novel, also called Mr Fox.

10. Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie

A fabulous comic quest story starring a child hero, this novella was written in hiding after the fatwa. Like many fairytales over their long tradition, its works as a happy adventure story and as a pointed political allegory about the silencing of dissent, the horrors of despotism and the joylessness that follows them. It epitomises the capacity of fairytales to “cross over”, and speaks to the times more vividly and more necessarily than ever.

Enrollment has dropped in Olympia schools

As the Olympia School Board looks towards the next school year, Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Priddy reported at the board meeting yesterday that local schools have experienced low enrollments.

Some elementary schools reported that their enrollments dropped by as much as 15.6 percent -- at McKenny. Madison declined by 14.7 percent, Pioneer with 13.2, Olympia Regional Learning Academy Montessori (ORLA M) with 13.2 percent, and Garfield with 12.6 percent.

Other schools, including Boston Harbor, Centennial, Lincoln, L.P Brown, and Hansen's enrollments dropped by less than 10 percent. Among all the elementary schools, only Roosevelt saw an increase in enrollment:by 0.5 percent.

On the other hand, Jefferson High School saw a 4.4 percent increase in its enrollment, , while ORLA Middle School Academy is up by 15 percent.

The school board has yet to determine the reasons behind declining enrollments.

School district budgets are based on the number of students enrolled. If there are fewer students, there will be less money overall.

For the upcoming school year, the school board prioritizes additional math and literacy support for elementary students as well as providing additional classrooms and staffing, if budgets will enable. In addition, the board focuses on giving academic support for middle school and high school students through enhanced after-school tutoring.

For its re-opening program, the OSB gave out its plan for its major investments. These investments include nursing support, transportation for after-school academic tutoring, online tutoring, and bilingual parent support.

The OSB also plans to allocate more teachers to high-poverty schools such as Garfield, LP Brown, and Hansen. Priddy believed that having more teacher time can have a positive impact on student’s learning. Thus, the school board shared their plan to allocate more resources to hire teachers.

The additional staff also includes physical education, arts and music teachers. Aside from staffing concerns, Priddy also shared that schools struggle to provide adequate space as a result of social distancing guidelines. She suggested that schools can utilize their libraries on rotation as an alternative as temporary classrooms.

Overall, the board members said they want to provide more extracurricular activities and well-being support to help students recover and heal from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Elevated Thinking — The High Line Park in New York City

Great Museums: Elevated Thinking: The High Line in New York City

Narrated by actress Susan Sarandon, this hour-long documentary film showcases the High Line, a most unusual and unlikely public park. Since opening in 2009, it has become a top global tourist destination, with nearly 5 million visitors annually.

Since 1998, Great Museums' call to action has been find the museum in your own backyard. The High Line is a perfect example. "The long, narrow High Line is like a gallery in a museum where the city itself is on display," explains co-executive productive Marc Doyle. "You see the Statue of Liberty looking one way and the Empire State building looking the other."

The mile-and-a half-long High Line offers visitors a carefully curated world of woodlands, thickets, prairies and meadows - floating 30 feet in the air - through 22 blocks of Manhattan's West Side. It is like a living museum of plants - a tour de force of public landscaping - carefully curated atop an abandoned elevated railroad that was saved from the wrecking ball. "We filmed the High Line over the course of two years to capture the full glory of all four seasons," says Chesney Doyle, co-executive producer of Great Museums.

"Elevated Thinking" is the story of a grassroots effort, led by Friends of the High Line co-founders Robert Hammond and Joshua David, to buck city hall and save a massive, derelict, mile-and-half-long, freight railway from demolition. Against all odds, they built a coalition of neighbors, real estate developers, philanthropists, and city officials, including the support of the Bloomberg administration. CSX Transportation, which had purchased the High Line 1998, supported the idea of repurposing the High Line and eventually donated the structure to the city. "Many residents thought it was a big, ugly piece of junk in the sky," says Great Museums' Chesney Doyle. "Now it's a model for communities everywhere."

These 8 Frugal Living Habits Allow Us To Spend More On What Matters

These 8 Frugal Living Habits Allow Us To Spend More On What Matters | The Loaded Pig

In order for us to continue providing great, free content, this post may contain affiliate links that we may earn a small commission on at no additional cost to you. Read our full disclosure.

Spend money on what you want and learn how to be frugal with your other expenses. It will take some effort, but it’s worth it. Find out how our frugal living habits help us get more out of our money.

What Is Frugal Living?

The term “frugal living” sometimes gets a bad reputation. Even Merriam-Webster claims that “those who are frugal are unwilling to (lavishly) enjoy the fruits of their labors.” But the word frugal is derived from the Latin word frux, meaning fruit or value and is related to the Latin word for enjoy, frui. Being frugal really has to do with enjoying the things you value.

You may be imagining clipping coupons and bargain hunting when you think of frugal living habits, but it’s much more than that. Frugal living means being mindful of how you spend your money with the goal of maximizing your enjoyment. It means evaluating your priorities and spending less money on things that matter less to you.

How You Can Live A Frugal Lifestyle

Think about your priorities in life. Do you really want to save for a car you’ve been wanting to buy? Are you saving money to put yourself through school or pay off student loans? Consider not only your financial goals, but also what makes you happy. What are you really passionate about? Do you value going on trips and taking adventures above buying stuff? Living frugally will enable you to spend money on what makes you happy and get you closer to your financial goals.

If you’re unsure of how you are spending your money, then you should take a good look at all of your expenses for the past couple months. Read our article, 5 Steps To Create A Monthly Budget, to learn how to categorize your expenses and to download a free budgeting spreadsheet to get you started.

Our Frugal Living Habits

For us, we are both passionate about cars/racing and traveling. This doesn’t mean that we only spend money on these things, but we rather put our money toward them and save money elsewhere. We have a few frugal living habits that help us save money on things like food, cable, insurance, electricity and credit card interest that allow us to spend more of our money where we want to.

1. We Cut Cable

One of the biggest ways that we save on a monthly basis is by cutting cable. For us, it isn’t worth it to pay for it so instead we only pay for internet. Of course we mooch off family for streaming services and access to networks via apps, but it just doesn’t make sense for us to pay $50-100+ each month for something that we can live without. Especially since you can find almost any show online these days.

2. We Always Pay Our Credit Cards On Time & In Full

Frugal Living Habits | Credit Cards | The Loaded Pig

Credit card interest is something that we avoid at all costs. This is important not only because we are mindful of our credit scores, but even more so because we want to save money on interest. We treat credit cards like they are due in full each month and that saves us hundreds to thousands of dollars in interest each year. We also only use cash back credit cards so we actually get money back each month for our usual spending. Credit card companies really don’t make money on us!

3. We Are Very Mindful of Our Grocery Shopping

Food is our biggest variable expense each month so we do our best to cut costs. We both enjoy food (eating it more than cooking it) but we find many ways to save on our food expenses. We do most of our grocery shopping at Aldi, a discount supermarket, and buy the majority of our food and other household items off brand rather than brand name. For the few items we just can’t stand off brand, we buy them at the store with the cheapest price, like Walmart, or buy them when they go on sale.

4. We Shop Around For Insurance & Bundle

Car insurance and homeowner’s insurance have one important thing in common: they are expensive. We want to fully protect our cars and house, but we also want to save money. So we shop around for car insurance and find the most affordable company without sacrificing coverage. We also research additional ways to save, such as a discount for lowering our yearly mileage. But, the biggest way we save on insurance is from bundling. One of us pays a little more for car insurance than at a previous company, but we save about $500 on home insurance each year just from insuring our house and car with the same company.

5. We Try To Conserve Electricity

This is for both environmental and financial reasons. We live in sunny south Florida so the summers are HOT, which means we spend a lot on air conditioning. But we use a programmable thermostat to have a set schedule to make it cooler at night and warmer during the day. We also can raise the temperature when no one, including our dog, is home. For us, these frugal living habits make a big difference in our electricity bill. We have a hand-me-down Nest Thermostat, but this Honeywell Programmable Thermostat is under $20 and has a 4 star rating with over 1,750 reviews.

When we bought our house we replaced all of the fluorescent lights with LEDs to save electricity and money on replacement light bulbs. Although these lights use less electricity, we are still very good at turning off the lights when we leave a room.

6. We Comparison Shop & Check Reviews For Big Ticket Items

To us, frugal living doesn’t mean we never spend a lot of money on something. For instance, we bought a new TV with a stand alone sound system a couple years ago and we did a lot of research first. We compared prices from store to store and checked online reviews to ensure we would get our money’s worth. It’s amazing how the same product can have a big price difference depending on the store, you just have to check online before you shop. On top of that, once we decide on the specific product we look for coupons using Google. You’d be surprised how many products and stores post coupon codes, you just have to look! All of these frugal living habits saved us a couple hundred dollars on this entertainment set and many other things.

7. We Cook Most of Our Meals & Get Creative

By we cook, I mean that I cook most of our meals, and this helps us cut our spending on food in a few ways. It really saves A LOT of money to limit eating out and instead buy ingredients and cook most meals from home. There’s also a big difference in cost between cooking from scratch and cooking with partially prepared (processed) foods. Don’t get me wrong – we still buy frozen chicken tenders for those times when nothing else sounds good.

But I do try to cook most meals from scratch and because time and effort are always the biggest factor in cooking, I rely on useful tools. I used to cook most meals in a slow cooker, like this one, and after receiving an Instant Pot as a gift I now use that for both slow cooking and pressure cooking. Either way all I have to do is chop ingredients and toss them in and let the cooker do its magic.

I really do my best to never waste food so I have to get creative sometimes. Last weekend I made a breakfast casserole with potatoes, eggs, tomatoes and ground turkey – all of which were going to expire if they weren’t used soon. I try to plan meals around the foods that we have and having an organized cupboard really helps with this.

8. We Switch Internet Plans To Get Annual Promotions

Despite not paying for cable or streaming services, fast internet is really important to us. And that can be really expensive. A really great way around paying $75+ a month for fast internet is taking advantage of yearly promotions. This was easy for us when we moved around a lot in apartments, but after living in our house for over a year our internet bill was going to go up from $30 a month to $53 and that was for base internet. With one of us working from home and using multiple devices together at night sometimes, we wanted faster internet but didn’t want to pay top dollar. So after spending some time on it, I was able to get another year-long promotion that quadrupled our speed for only $40 a month without switching providers.

It takes some effort to do this every year, but it’s totally worth it for us. I set a yearly recurring calendar reminder a few weeks before the promotion expires so I can do it again next year.

Prioritize Your Wants To Create Your Own Frugal Living Habits

Frugal Living Habits | Budget | The Loaded Pig

You may have noticed that we haven’t talked about clothes shopping or some other common “wants” and that’s because we buy stuff we need and we prioritize our wants. That’s what frugal living is all about and that’s why it’s different for each person.

We also learn about saving money from our experiences, you can read more about some expenses we recently cut in our article, Post-Pandemic Savings: Expenses We Easily Learned To Live Without.

Developing frugal living habits does not mean you have to sacrifice the things you enjoy – in fact it’s the complete opposite. Instead, you find ways to save on everything that matters less to you. Some of the things we save money on may be important to you, so find ways to save on other expenses. Get creative and do some research. It takes effort to live frugally, but it’s all worth it when you’re able to take that vacation you’ve been dreaming of, pay off your debt or do whatever it is that you truly value.

Sometimes you have to spend a little money to save a lot over the long-term, to find inexpensive ways to do this check out our article, 9 Products Under $20 That Will Save You Money.

Bravo Heathrow, bravo Qatar Airways, but work required Travelex

The following two tabs change content below.
Martin Moodie
Martin Moodie is the Founder & Chairman of The Moodie Report.

Boy am I glad to see Gummersbach. The town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, 36,000 feet below me and 50 kilometres east of Cologne, is apparently famous for its first league handball team VfL Gummersbach.

But for me, it’s more famous for being the first town I spotted after loading the inflight map during my first international flight in almost five months. I’m onboard Qatar Airways bound for Doha and then Hong Kong, and how good, how very, very good, it feels to be back on the road and doing what I have done for the past 33 years.

I confess that I was wary of making this long trip, one that involves three airports, two flights and a whole lot of transit time. But I have been super-impressed by the efforts of almost every industry stakeholder that I have encountered in terms of maximising customer confidence in the safety of the journey. I said almost. More of that in a moment.

I flew out of Heathrow Terminal 5 (Qatar Airways has been shifted from T2), where from go to whoa there was clear, reassuring signage, plentiful availability of hand sanitiser, and generally a firm but measured approach to passenger safety. Full marks. The same applies to the fine Qatar Airways check-in staff, all properly masked even when many passengers were not (see below).

Full marks too for most of the store and food & beverage staff I met, for their pleasant, unobtrusive but prudent presence in their respective outlets. But no marks at all for the Travelex staff (pictured) for their casual wearing of what I am sure are compulsory masks. One with her mask worn on her chin like a Johnny Depp goatee and the other with it covering her mouth but not her nose. Even in a depressed travel market, think how many consumers those two staff are engaging with every day.

I don’t like to call staff out – they are no doubt diligent, hard-working people doing a tough job in the current climate – but this time I feel I must. In that casualness, they are letting down every other employee at Heathrow as well as endangering themselves and their customers.

Just as one passenger I met at security check did. Like me, he had his hand luggage scrutinised during a secondary check. His was a huge plastic bag stuffed with oversized toiletries that would never have passed muster, global pandemic or not. And yet while the admirably patient security officer checked each and every questionable item, the offending (and offensive) passenger stood inches away from him wearing his mask around his chin and mouth only.

I don’t know what the poor security guy made of all this, but I know what I did. “Pull the mask over your nose,” I said to him as he walked away with what remained of his possessions after several of them had been binned. He looked at me as if I had just accused him of child molestation and then (to my surprise) put the mask in the correct position. Too little too late. That young, decent, hard-working security man had been compromised and therefore, potentially, so had others.

This is where we go so wrong so often in the west. A mask is there for a reason. You don’t wear half an oven mitt to protect yourself from burns. It’s about personal responsibility and care for others. Only then can we beat this curse called COVID-19. No mask (properly) in place, no security clearance should be the ruling.

If you love the travel retail industry as I do, walking through Heathrow is a sobering experience. At least now there are numerous stores and F&B outlets open – bravo to all concerned – but there are many closed, some of them owned, run or staffed by people I know well.

The steady opening up of travel in recent weeks has taken away some of the ghost town look of a couple of months back when you half expected to see tumbleweed blowing through the walkthrough duty free store but there’s still a long way to go. However, we are getting there and huge credit to Heathrow and its partners for the work they have put in to create some sense of normality.

And so to the inflight experience. Every passenger boarding a Qatar Airways flight is now presented with a face shield at the gate. After the initial shock of seeing everyone wearing an unusual and definitively 2020 travel accessory that evokes a beekeeper’s garb, you quickly think, “Great. This is making us all a lot safer.”

The crew are all wearing masks, face shields and protective glasses. They are ultra-polite to a man and a woman. In my view they are heroes and heroines and I doff my cap to Qatar Airways for how magnificently it has performed throughout this crisis, in the process flying more air miles than any carrier on the planet.

As we fly over Gummersbach and later across places such as Batman, Damascus, Lake Tharthar and Hawr Ash Shubaychah, I count myself lucky to be flying again. Huge kudos to industry stakeholders such as Heathrow Airport and Qatar Airways for their efforts in encouraging us to fly again. It’s #Timefortravel and perhaps some of us in the industry need to lead from the front.

I’m overjoyed to be back doing what I love, back in the skies again. Nothing will keep me away so long in future.

  • Hi Martin, I am really amazed that I see you writing about the town of Gummersbach and its handball team VfL Gummersbach, indeed famous amongs sportfans in Germany, although sadly they are playing in the second league since a year now. I would never have thought I would read about Gummersbach in Travel Retail media….:) Enjoy your time in HKG but be careful what you say in public…..and stay healthy!

Doctor optimistic after Redskins' RG3 knee surgery

In this Jan. 6, 2013, photo, Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III (10) returns to the huddle after hurting his right knee as he fell awkwardly while throwing an incomplete pass during the first quarter of their NFL wild card playoff football game against the Seattle Seahawks in Landover, Md. An injury that sidelines Griffin well into next season is a very real possibility _ or at least it seemed that way Monday, Jan. 7, after head coach Mike Shanahan described the results of tests on the rookie's right knee following a series of plays in their Sunday game that did additional damage to a knee that was just three games removed from suffering a sprained lateral collateral ligament. (AP Photo/The Virginian-Pilot, L. Todd Spencer) MAGS OUT

AP Sports Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - The doctor who performed the knee surgery on Robert Griffin III says it is 'everybody's hope and belief' that the Washington Redskins quarterback will be ready for the 2013 season.

Orthopedist James Andrews said Wednesday that Griffin 'had a direct repair' of the lateral collateral ligament and 'a re-do of his previous ACL reconstruction.'

Andrews says he expects a full recovery because of Griffin's 'high motivation.'

Griffin reinjured his knee in Sunday's playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He previously tore the ACL in the same knee while playing for Baylor in 2009.

Robert Griffin III had surgery to repair two ligaments in his troublesome right knee Wednesday morning, said a person familiar with the situation.

The Washington Redskins quarterback had his knee repaired by orthopedist James Andrews in Florida. The doctor had already diagnosed a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. The person said Andrews also found and repaired damage found in Griffin's ACL.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Redskins had not made an announcement about the latest details surrounding the rookie quarterback's injury.

Now comes RG3's next challenge: a race against time to get healthy before the beginning of next season.

Griffin's recovery time will take several months at least but could extend into next season, depending on the extent of the damage. The process could also be speeded up because Griffin is known as a focused, determined competitor who would be expected to take his rehab as seriously as possible.

'Thank you for your prayers and support. I love God, my family, my team, the fans, & I love this game. See you guys next season,' Griffin tweeted before the surgery began.

Athletes generally need nine to 12 months to make a full recovery from a torn ACL, although Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson made a remarkable return this season about eight months after tearing an ACL - and nearly broke the NFL's single-season rushing record.

Russ Paine, a physical therapist in Houston who worked with Peterson during his rehab, said the running back's timetable for returning to competition was in fact 'pretty traditional.'

'What's non-traditional is him almost breaking the rushing record,' Paine said in a phone interview Wednesday.

Griffin reinjured his knee at least twice in Sunday's playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks, prompting a national debate over whether coach Mike Shanahan endangered Griffin's career by not taking the team's franchise player out of the game sooner.

The first major injury to the knee came in 2009, when Griffin tore the ACL in the third game of the season while playing for Baylor. Griffin missed the rest of the year but returned in 2010 and won the Heisman Trophy in 2011.

Griffin sprained the LCL last month when he was hit by Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata at the end of a 13-yard scramble. Griffin missed one game and returned to play three more while wearing a bulky knee brace, his mobility clearly hindered.

Then, on Sunday, Griffin hurt the knee again as he fell awkwardly while throwing a pass in the first quarter against the Seahawks. He remained in the game, with Shanahan saying he trusted Griffin's word that all was OK.

Griffin finally departed in the fourth quarter, after the knee buckled while he was trying to field a bad shotgun snap.

The No. 2 overall pick in last year's draft, Griffin was one of several rookie quarterbacks to make an instant impact on the NFL this season. He set the league record for best season passer rating by a rookie QB and led the Redskins to their first NFC East title in 13 years.

But he also had to leave three games early due to injuries - two because of his knee and one because of a concussion - and missed a fourth altogether because of the knee.

[Electronic] KREAM – Deep End

Deep End

There’s a reason people don’t want you to go off the deep end. We’d rather you get on it, in the form of the “Deep End” created by the Norwegian act KREAM. The future-tinged original has been released by Big Beat Records and sports just enough pop crossover sound to really, well, pop!

“Deep End” is one of those records that feels familiar at first listen, but upon evaluating it or listening a few times, you notice the subtleties that set it apart from a lot of the usual future pop songs that have been coming out over the past couple of years. There’s a reason KREAM is a mainstay at Big Beat and this is just one of the many pieces of evidence as to why. “Deep End” is available on digital platforms today for those looking to support this one.

I’M feart o a new indyref.

I mind stottin aboot in ae sooth Embra suburb, wi ma bag fu o Yes leaflets. An auld Unionist mannie opened the door tae us. He’d been in the airmy, an wis a bitty mair thirlt tae British identity than yer average. I wis ainly 24, an this teuch auld craiter wisnae aboot tae tak a lesson in the weys o the warld aff me. Quite richt. He telt me aboot how the UK can haud its ain against ony incomers, an me bein raised in a time o peace didnae ken the value o a country’s ability tae defend itsel. I telt him aboot growin up in rural Angus, whaur the pooer tae effect onythin ootwith yer ain village seemed ridiculous, wi aa the decisions made doon in Westminster. Independence, I felt, wad gie fowk bidin aroon Scotland mair o a say owre their ain future, an an empooerin sense o their ain consequence.

I changed his mind aboot absolute hee-haw. He didnae gar me flit ae bawhair closer tae votin No. But whit we did hae wis a meaningfu connection. I learnt mair aboot the mentality an experience o the mony aulder Scots wha were pairt o the airmy, mibbe wha were engaged oot at the Falklands, in Ulster, an in ither pairts. He gleaned whit wee bitty insichts I could gie him aboot growin up oot the thrang o central belt Scotland, an the sense o pooerlessness that comes wi it. We shook hauns, left kennin mair aboot oor “opponents”, an unnerstaunin oor wee country an the fowk that bide in it that wee bitty better.

READ MORE: First as journal publishes university research in Scots

Conversations sic as this were happenin aa owre the country. Fir months referendum chat ousted weather chat as oor base-level blether. The first indyref wis fundamentally a guid, positive national discussion. Loads o positive cultural spin affs cam fae it, an the muckle discussion aroon Scotland’s future has been gingin alang wi virr ever since.

I’m feart that a seccont indyref wadnae be onythin near sae couthy an braw as that.

I’m feart that, gin we focht anither indyref, we’d be owre influenced by the strategies o the Brexiteers. We’d mak it a protest, mak it a us-versus-them. The milk o human kindness, sae common in 2014, wad be soored.

Thae conversations wi No voters, or undecidit voters, were a hail lot mair than just blether aboot ae economic or social justice pynt or anither. They gied us somethin we didnae hae: a national conversation.

As wi mony pairts o former empire, Scotland doesnae hae mony means tae communicate wi itsel unmediatit. Maist newspapers speak tae ae wee tranche o readers in ae geographical location. Social media is a honeycomb o echo chaumers. The BBC in Scotland in 2014 barely existed an wasnae owre relevant tae maist fowk. The upshot was that we didnae hae means tae find oot aboot wha bides doon the road, wha oor neebors were an whit they were thinkin.

The campaign aroon independence got us oot, an broke doon barriers. It literally helped big a nation through shared experience, on baith sides.

Times hae changed sae muckle. The Brexit experience has changed aahin. Jo Cox has been murdert. Russian bots an clarty cash gied Leave the dunt it mibbie needit tae get owre the line. Lees fleed aroon like flees roon keich.

Social media is mair an mair toxic. Ony post that could be perceived as warm tae oor independence gets blootert bi thoosans o Unionist posters, bealin at the thocht. Ilka social media post that caas intae question the validity o indy is torn tae targets wi whiles disgustin language an personal attacks. Baith sides hae hail middens fu o sic trolls. Some, I doot, peyed.

We ken fae the stooshie this week that there’s a class divide an a pooer divide in the Yes movement, wi concomitant internal jealousies, alang wi hunners o ither potential fractures.

I wad urge aabdy tae keep a calm sooch. We hae tae mind that independence isnae an uprisin onymair. It isnae some ettle tae tak doon the Death Star wi just some Ewoks an an oot-o-date spaceship. It is the position o the incumbent Scottish Government an has been fir owre a decade. It’s the position o aroon 50% o the population.

Independence isnae a rebellious, oot-o-leftfield notion. It is pragmatic, especially wi the SNP at the helm.

There’s nae need tae skirl, nae need tae swear, an certainly nae need tae miscry fowk that dinnae agree wi us.

The First Meenster has telt us there’ll be a referendum afore 2021. Whit’s needed is tae mak shair that whitever modren, fantoosh version o the Yes campaign we come up wi noo is as braid a kirk as its possible tae big. We’ll nae just need tae big thon muckle kirk an stap it fu tae burstin, but we’ll also hae tae be the polis o oor ain movement. In thae pews will be capitalists, Tories, Communists, liberals, Greens, fannies, heros, fuds an gowden-hertit auld grannies that are luikin oot fir their grandbairns. There’ll be snidey c*nts, an fowk nae lang aff the gear.

Ae thing’s fir shair; nae aabdy that likes independence likes each ither. An the mair fowk that jyne us, the mair different attitudes we’ll hae tae thole within the movement.

We’ve seen that there’s fowk makkin siller oot the Yes movement that want tae protect their mercat share mair than they want a cohesive an co-operate Yes movement. The hail referendum could weel see a collapse in the brither- an sister-huid o the Yes movement, wi freenly fire blooterin aboot in ilka airt, alang wi unacceptable slaverin vitriol bein bunged at supposit Unionists. We’ll hae tae keep a lid on aa that.

We maun mind that gainin oor independence aifter a vote will be a total fankle. Exitin the EU has been the bourach tae enn aa bourachs, but effectively creatin a new state aifter winnin the indyref will tak years. It will require diplomacy an cool heids on aa sides. The immediate aiftermath o a close, fierce, bluid-curdlin referendum campaign isnae the richt environment for sic discussions, concessions an honest endeavour tae tak place. Gin we’ve been skellochin fae ilka rooftap fir months aboot whit scunners oor neebors an former-freens are, it’ll be gey hard tae sit doon an co-operate wi them tae big a new state.

Sae we maun hae a think aboot whit we’ll dae tae keep oor ain side civil, positive, an nae sweirt tae hae occasional threips anent the wey forrit wioot cries o “splittin the movement”.

It’ll be up tae us moderates tae tak tent that we dinnae allow oor rhetoric tae get aheid o us, an that we dinnae allow bams tae use the independence jaicket tae hide their true, unco ugsome sels.

The last indyref brocht us closer thegither. I’m feart that gin we arnae carfu, the neist ane micht tear us apairt.

Gabriel Bureau, president of Prince Rupert District Teachers Union, and Tom Kertes, vice president are calling to SD 52 to protect employees and students with increased safety measures for COVID-19 (Photo: K-J Millar/The Northern View)

SD 52 is failing the safety of teachers and students – Prince Rupert District Teachers Union

School district adheres to the advice of Ministry of Ed., Public Health, and WorkSafe BC - SD 52

Disappointing decisions regarding the health and safety of teachers and students were made by trustees at the School District 52 meeting on Dec. 8, the Prince Rupert District Teachers Union said in a Dec. 9 press release.

“The local teachers’ union is requesting more local leadership on COVID-19 school safety,” Gabriel Bureau president of the union said. “At the meeting, local teachers certainly did not see the kind of leadership that’s required.”

The local teachers were calling on their employer to make mask-wearing mandatory in classrooms and increase social distancing where possible. A public relations campaign to increase awareness of the concerns was launched on Dec. 3, with a subsequent car rally of more than 20 vehicles honking and driving through the city on Dec. 10.

Responding to the car rally in their own press release on Dec. 11, SD 52 said it will only implement changes that are approved by Public Health and the measures proposed by PRDTU are similar to those of the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation, which has already met with Public Health to discuss such concerns.

“Most importantly, as an employer the School District has the responsibility to put the safety of its employees first and foremost, equal to the safety of students and other members of the public,” Bureau said. “Local teachers have recommended specific improvements, including a call for a mask mandate in School District 52 classrooms and schools.”

“The School District clearly has the authority to exceed the minimum standards already in place,” Bureau said.

SD 52 media release signed by James Horne board chair, and Andrew Samoil SD 52 superintendent states,

“The Board of Education appreciates the concerns and proposals of the Prince Rupert District Teachers’ Union. In considering the union’s motions, the Board must take into account its statutory responsibility for the safety and education of students, and its obligations for the safety of staff as mandated by WorkSafe BC.”

“To ensure the district takes appropriate action to address the current pandemic, the district seeks and adheres to expert advice. That advice, which has been coordinated by the Ministry of Education, comes from Public Health and from WorkSafe BC,” SD 52 said.

Bureau acknowledges SD 52 already exceeds some requirements in several ways, however, more is definitely needed according to the union president.

“The School District should act now to require masks in schools and classrooms, and to provide teachers, staff, and students with other safety improvements.”

Living in the midst of the pandemic has been a trying time for everyone, SD 52 said and believes schools are safe for staff and students. Public Health has also stated that schools are safe the school board said.

“The district will continue to implement changes as directed by the Ministry of Education and Public Health during this constantly changing situation,” the school district statement said. “The district acts and complies with the advice and orders of these authorities. We encourage all families and employees to review the most recent safety plan for their schools, which are available on the district’s website”

There were several motions made at the Board meeting Bureau said, and if passed would have improved school safety.

“None of the school safety motions passed. By failing to act, the Board is failing its responsibility for the safety of its employees and the students in our schools,” Bureau said.

Tinsley column: Labor Day is more significant this year

Bill Tinsley
More Content Now
Waynesboro Record Herald

Columns share an author’s personal perspective.

This weekend is Labor Day. The scorching heat of summer has broken. The air is light with the first hint of fall. The lakes are still warm enough to ski and the fishing is good. As usual, friends and family will gather in parks for volleyball, football and frisbee while hamburgers sizzle on the grill.

But the pandemic has changed things. School classrooms and hallways that normally burst with energy at this time of year host students nervously muted with masks. Some schools remain empty and closed. Early mornings that normally echo with the thud and smack of football practice and the distant rhythm of marching bands remain eerily silent. In many places “Friday night lights” are dark. Stadiums should be packed with fans cheering their teams on to the World Series and kick-off for the NFL. But this year they remain empty.

All of this makes Labor Day even more significant. The laborers and minimum wage workers are the heroes. They are the ones who are carrying us through this dark valley. On this weekend, we celebrate those who have kept our grocery stores open with shelves stocked, those who deliver our drive-through and carry-out orders along with restaurant staff who prepare and serve us at distanced tables. We honor the postal workers who deliver our packages and mail, the first responders and hospital staff who care for the sick. Most of the time we fawn over celebrities. But on this day, the common worker takes the stage. And, in 2020, we recognize their essential importance.

On Labor Day I think of my father, a blue-collar worker who started out trimming grass around telephone poles and worked 35 years for Bell Telephone before his death at age 53. His example of honesty, generosity and hard work inspired me. I think of Jesus, who chose to spend most of his adult life working in a simple carpenter’s shop in Nazareth. Jesus elevated the role of laborers and craftsmen for eternity.

This year, many are being forced to take jobs that are not their first choice. Some who trained and studied for years to launch a professional career are accepting jobs that differ from their dreams. It is important that whatever job we find that we give our best. The Bible says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (Colossians 3:23-24).

Many Americans are discovering, after decades dominated by greed and materialism, that the value of labor is never truly measured in monetary return. The way we choose to invest the labor of our minds, our hands, our hearts and our energy will produce fulfillment when the object is not our own self-gratification but the service of others. Jesus said, “Whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant … just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28).
