Darin Atteberry asked if this code adoption would make it harder or easier for construction of roof top gardens. Bob Poncelow advised there will be restrictions but the code will provide clear direction on construction. Darin stated he wants to be sure roof top gardens are safe but wants to be sure PFA does not prohibit building them. Dave Pusey asked if Weld County was consulted on the fire code adoption. Bob Poncelow advised in previous years Weld County was not consulted as there was no residential construction in their jurisdiction. This adoption process will include Weld County. The Board requested Bob Poncelow meet with Bruce Hendee regarding roof top gardens and commercial kitchen cooking oil storage. Dave Pusey asked about PFA liability on setting fire flow and water supply requirements. Bob Poncelow advised this code provision relates more to out buildings, i.e., barns, pump houses, etc. and is documented very early in the development review process.

The Field Music’s primary purpose was t t one of communication and command, t whether on the battlefield, in camp, in t garrison or on the march. To honor the combat importance of the Field Music, or a a drum corps, many armies would place their regimental insignia and battle honors on the b drums, drum banners and sashes of their b drum majors. The roots of martial field music go back to ancient times.

  • Major Ridge, Leader of the Treaty Party Among the Cherokees, Spent The
    Historic Origins of the Mount Tabor Indian Community of Rusk County, Texas Patrick Pynes Northern Arizona University Act One: The Assassination of Major Ridge On June 21, 1839, Major Ridge, leader of the Cherokee Treaty Party, stopped to spend the night in the home of his friend, Ambrose Harnage. A white man, Harnage and his Cherokee family lived in a community called Illinois Township, Arkansas. Nancy Sanders, Harnage’s Cherokee wife, died in Illinois Township in 1834, not long after the family moved there from the Cherokee Nation in the east. Illinois Township was located right on the border between Arkansas and the new Cherokee Nation in the west. Ride one mile west, and you were in Going Snake District. Among the families living in Illinois Township in 1839 were some of my own blood relations: Nancy Gentry, her husband James Little, and their extended family. Nancy Gentry was the sister of my fifth maternal grandfather, William Gentry. Today, several families who descend from the Gentrys tell stories about their ancestors’ Cherokee roots. On June 21, 1839, Nancy Gentry’s family was living nine doors down from Ambrose Harnage. Peering deep into the well of time, sometimes hearing faint voices, I wonder what Major Ridge and his friend discussed the next morning at breakfast, as Harnage’s distinguished guest prepared to resume his journey. Perhaps they told stories about Andrew Sanders, Harnage’s brother-in-law. Sanders had accompanied The Ridge during their successful assassination mission at Hiwassee on August 9, 1807, when, together with two other men, they killed Double-head, the infamous Cherokee leader and businessman accused of selling Cherokee lands and taking bribes from federal agents.

  • The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA): an Explanation
    The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA): An Explanation R. Chuck Mason Legislative Attorney August 27, 2014 Congressional Research Service RL34575 The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA): An Explanation Summary Recognizing the special burdens that members of the military may encounter trying to meet their financial obligations while serving their country, in 1940 Congress passed the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act (SSCRA). The law was amended from time to time, ordinarily in response to military operations that required the activation of the Reserves. P.L. 108-189, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), was enacted on December 19, 2003, as a modernization and restatement of the protections contained in the SSCRA. Much like with the SSCRA, the SCRA has been amended since its initial passage and proposed changes continue to be introduced in Congress. This report summarizes the rights granted to persons serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, and in some instances, to their dependents, under the SCRA. The SCRA provides protections for servicemembers in the event that their military service impedes their ability to meet financial obligations incurred before entry into active military service. Forgiving of all debts or the extinguishment of contractual obligations on behalf of servicemembers who have been called up for active duty is not required, nor is absolute immunity from civil lawsuits provided. Instead, the act suspends civil claims against servicemembers and protects them from default judgments. The SCRA includes provisions that prohibit the eviction of military members and their dependents from rental or mortgaged property; create a cap on interest at 6% on debts incurred prior to an individual entering active duty military service; protect against the cancellation of life insurance or the non-reinstatement of health insurance policies; allow some professionals to suspend malpractice or liability insurance while on active duty; and proscribe taxation in multiple jurisdictions and forced property sales in order to pay overdue taxes.

  • Brigade and Battalion Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Operations
    FIELD MANUAL *FM34-80 NO. 34-80 HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY Washington, DC, 15 April 1986 i ii PREFACE Intelligence and electronic warfare (IEW) support is critical to the success of the divisional brigades and battalions conduct of close operations. Commanders at these tactical echelons require accurate intelligence to plan the battle and timely combat information to win it. Counterintelligence (CI) support to battlefield deception and operations security (OPSEC) ensures the critical element of surprise and helps sustain the effective combat power of tacti- cal forces. Electronic warfare (EW) provides combat information and targeting data for both maneuver and fire support units, protects friendly command, control, and communications (C3) systems, and augments maneuver and fires to suppress, neutralize, and destroy enemy C3 facilities. FM 34-80 is intended primarily for use by the intelligence staff officer (S2) and his section at the maneuver battalion and brigade levels. It describes the IEW tasks for which the S2 has responsibility and how the S2 operations are integrated into the command and staff pro- cess at the battalion and brigade levels. This manual may also be used by commanders, other staff officers, and military intelligence personnel within the division to gain a better understanding of the IEW system and IEW tasks applicable to brigade and battalion opera- tions. For a more thorough understanding of tactical IEW doctrine, the reader should review FMs 34-1 and 34-10. FMs 71-3 and 71-2J should be reviewed for general doctrinal guidance for maneuver operations at the brigade and task force levels. Information contained within FM 34-80 is applicable to division- and corps-based units organized according to (Army 86) tables of organization and equipment (TOE).
