Fall 2009 Green Laws Shaping Professional Standards Local 94 Volume 18 Issue #3 Fall 2009 Green Laws Shaping Professional Standards by Kuba Brown On September 21, the New York Post did a hatchet job on the green building industry. In a copyrighted article, the Post said the U.S. Green Building Council’s rating system, known as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) doesn’t make buildings more energy efficient. Writer Jacob Gershman even singled out the Hearst Tower (at right), where buildings systems are operated by Local 94 members, as a “green” skyscraper with “its lights blazing at night.” Well, Local 94 takes this opportunity to differ with the New York Post. Our engineers have documented tremendous energy and water savings in the operation of the Hearst Tower. Gershman cites no figures which back up his argument about the Hearst Tower — but we have plenty. As we documented in the last issue of The Cutting Edge, the Tower is in fact a national model for conservation technologies. If lights are on at night in the Tower, the motion sensors may not be operating — and that’s the responsibility of building management, not Continued on page 2 a design flaw. Of course, the buildings need to operate as City Council has proposed a package of three bills — designed, not by by-passing the automatic controls. 476A, 564A, and 967A — that begin to define who will Germany and other developed countries are well be in charge of “benchmarking” buildings (determining advanced in energy efficiency, and we’d better catch up how energy efficient they are right now), and then doing or miss the train. Building systems like those in the Hearst “energy audits” of the building to see how well it is doing Tower are crucial to growing our economy while reducing after improvements. greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. It’s our opinion that both of these important tasks Another rebuttal to the Post’s article came on September should be performed by Local 94 members.

  • History of the Healy Name Notes and Recorded Resources Compiled by Eddie Geoghegan Featured on Coats of Arms
    History of the Healy Name Notes and recorded resources compiled by Eddie Geoghegan Featured on Coats of Arms: http://www.araltas.com/features/healy/ Healy, Hely, Heely, Heeley, Haly, Haley and so on are all anglicised form of two native Gaelic-Irish names. Rarely, if ever, found these days with their rightful "O'" prefix, the combined strength of these names take them to number forty seven in the list of most common surnames in Ireland with about thirteen thousand individuals thus called. The first sept originated in county Sligo in the northwest. These were originally called Ó hÉlidhe, the name being derived from the Irish word eilidh meaning "claimant", though what was being claimed is unrecorded. This sept had its territory territory at the foot of the Curlew Mountains on the western shore of Lough Arrow, i.e. the corner of County Sligo lying between Counties Mayo and Roscommon. The place name of Ballyhely testifies to their origins. The name first appears in the written records of the area in 1309, when the Annals of the Four Masters record "Hugh, the son of Owen, son of Rory, son of Hugh, son of Cathal Crovderg, King of Connaught, and worthy heir to the monarchy of Ireland, the most hospitable and expert at arms of all the Irish born in his time, was slain by Hugh Breifneach, the son of Cathal O'Conor, at Coill-an-clochain, together with many of the chiefs of his people about him. Among these were Conor Mac Dermot; Dermot Roe, son of Teige O'Conor; Dermot, son of Cathal Carragh, Mac Dermot; Hugh, son of Murtough, son of Teige, son of Mulrony; and Dermot O'Healy, a princely brughaidh (farmer), the best of his time." Numerically stronger, however, are the members of the Munster sept, where the name was originally Ó hÉaliaghthe or the shortened Ó hÉilaigh, probably from the Irish ealadhach meaning (ingenious).

The following essays, written at different times and in different circumstances during the last fifteen years, touch upon some of the most interesting points in the civil and religious history of Ireland. They have already appeared separately as booklets of the Catholic Truth Society, and as such have, the author is informed, been eagerly read by thousands throughout the country. With much pleasure, therefore, has he acceded to the wish of the Society, to have them collected and published in book form, and made more attractive by the addition of many appropriate illustrations. It is his earnest hope that the little volume may, in some small way at least, help the main purpose of the Society—the diffusion of sound Catholic information, which, for the masses of our people, will have a living interest as well.
