The event was organized by TMIA with assistance from several national safe-energy groups including NIRS, Public Citizen, Safe Energy Communications Council, Friends of the Earth, and Greenpeace. Over March 26 and 27 workshops were held dealing with nuclear waste issues, reactor decommis­ sioning, radiation monitoring, health effects, alternatives to nuclear power, the national nuclear policy, the proposed DOE energy budget (see below), reactor license renewal and safety deregula­ tion, the continuing TMI clean-up, and others designed to provide radioactivists with the skills neces­ sary to carry on the crusade for safe energy. Keynote speaker Ed Smeloff, the director of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), ex­ plained how SMUD closed the problem-plagued Rancho Seco reactor and how they now plan to make up for the power loss through aggressive energy conservation, efficiency, and renewable en­ ergy programs. Harrisburg's own Jane Perkins, now president of the Friends of the Earth, called for more grassroots activity across America with a focus on Washington, including a national safe-energy lobby day in Congress once or twice each year.

The Honorable David Sweet (DS): Hello, Jesse. How are you? JT: I‟m well, thank you. DS: Good. JT: I‟m sitting here with David Sweet, who represented the 48th District, a Democrat from Washington County, from 1977 to 1988. Thank you for being with me. DS: Well, thank you for having me. It‟s great to be able to memorialize some of the memories and the things that happened over the years while I was in the Legislature, and I‟m not sure, like many things, I‟m not sure anyone will ever view this or read it, but it‟s probably good to have it all on the record. It‟s great. JT: Absolutely, absolutely. What I‟d like to do is start out just by asking you some questions about your early life. DS: Sure. JT: Tell me about your childhood, where you grew up, your family, and some of your early education. 2 DS: Well, I grew up in Washington, Pennsylvania, which is a little town. It was about 20 thousand then – it‟s probably not much more than 12 or 13 thousand now –25 miles southwest of Pittsburgh. JT: Okay. DS: And Washington – Little Washington to some people because people would drive through – Route 40 was the old national pike, and the interstate was actually built when I was a very small child that went around Washington, Pennsylvania, but many people knew of Washington, Pennsylvania, because they had to slog right through the main street of the town, as you did many towns before the interstate highway system, and it was Little Washington, but it was a good little town.

  • A Smart Choice for a Solid Start: Pre-K Works – So Why Not PA?
    A Smart Choice for a Solid Start: Pre-K Works – So Why Not PA? What do Governor Tom Wolf, former governors Tom Corbett, Ed Rendell, Mark Schweiker and more than 130 Democratic and Republican members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly have in common? Give up? They all have been strong supporters of high-quality pre-k for Pennsylvania’s 3- and 4- year olds. Over the past three years, our state policymakers have increased commonwealth support by $90 million to ensure nearly 10,000 additional at-risk children are able to attend a high-quality pre-k classroom. And, this budget season is no different as Governor Wolf has proposed another $40 million increase. Children only have one chance to be preschoolers and benefit from early learning opportunities. They don’t get a do-over when the commonwealth is on better financial ground, or policymakers agree that it’s their turn to be at the top of the budget priority list. Today in Pennsylvania, there are only enough public funds to make high-quality, publicly funded pre-k available to 39 percent of at-risk 3- and 4-year-olds. As a result, many low- income families cannot find or afford high quality pre-k essential to their children's success. A growing body of research has shown that by the age of five, a child’s brain will have reached 90 percent of its adult size with more than one million neural connections forming every second,i but not every child is provided with the stimulating environments and nurturing interactions that can develop those young minds to their fullest potential.

    MINES, MILLS AND MALLS: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE STEEL VALLEY by Allen J Dieterich-Ward A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2006 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Matthew D Lassiter, Chair Professor J Mills Thornton III Associate Professor Matthew J Countryman Assistant Professor Scott D Campbell In memory of Kenneth Ward and James Lowry Witherow. In honor of Helen Ward and Dolores Witherow. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the History Department and the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan for generous financial support while researching and writing this dissertation. I began work on this project as part of my Senior Independent Study at the College of Wooster, which was supported in part by the Henry J. Copeland Fund. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission’s Scholar-in-Residence program greatly facilitated my research at the Pennsylvania State Archives. During the final year of writing, I also received a timely and deeply appreciated fellowship from the Phi Alpha Theta History Honors Society. I owe a great debt to the many Steel Valley residents who generously agreed to be interviewed for this project, especially Don Myers, James Weaver, and Charles Steele. Being allowed entry into their present lives and their past memories was a wonderful gift and I have tried to explain their actions and those of their contemporaries in a balanced and meaningful way. The staff of the Ohio Historical Society, Pennsylvania State Archives, Archives of Industrial Society, Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania and the Bethany College Library provided generous assistance during my visits.
