  • •Awo/00-3098/New
    THE AMERICAN WATERWAYS2000 OPERATORS annual report CHAIRMAN’S message Change is a constant in our world. Change is that which makes life exciting and unpredictable; yet we instinctively resist it, though we realize that we must adapt or be left behind. The millennium symbolized change Cand many people predicted disaster, both technological and natural. But when reality dawned, the transition proved far less painful than the prognosticators feared. So it has been with our industry. With the first day of the new millennium, AWO members enacted an unprecedented change, requiring members to show evidence of having undergone a third-party audit of compliance with the Responsible Carrier Program (RCP). With this action, AWO became the first transportation trade association to require compliance with a safety program as a condition of membership. After years of planning, there were still questions and fears about whether or not AWO members had the resolve to stand by their conviction and commitment in becoming leaders in safety and environmental protection. We did it. We weathered the change, though it required the difficult decision to terminate the membership of 13 companies, and we are stronger for it. Beyond that, AWO members are now gaining recognition for our leadership. Members received praise for the RCP accomplishment at a spring Capitol Hill reception from Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Rodney Slater, and Vice Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard “I AM CONFIDENT AWO WILL VADM James C. Card. More recently, VADM (ret.)

  • Response to This Article About the Hasbro/Discovery Hub Shift In
    Response to this article about the Hasbro/Discovery Hub shift in power...which turned into another my long-winded, thoughtful rants: http://online.wsj.com/articles/discovery-to-take-control-of-the-hub-network- 1410979842 Well, that's...somewhat shocking. From what I can tell, the Hasbro/Discovery partnership in The Hub has been an amazing success. I watch the channel almost every day. Most of its programming is--and has been, for the past 3.5 years--excellent. From the original series (FiM, Pound Puppies, Strawberry Shortcake, LPS, Dan Vs., Aquabats Super Show, Family Game Night, Care Bears, Transformers, Haunting Hour), to all the other wonderful shows/sitcoms (oh my goodness!! Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Goosebumps, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Step By Step, Who's the Boss, Family Ties, The Facts of Life, Sister, Sister, Sabrina, Atomic Betty, etc.), to the extremely well-chosen family movies (I loved it when they aired the Homeward Bound films, All Dogs Go to Heaven 2...today I saw Spaceballs...and they've just made so many other great movie picks every season.) They've been an outstanding example of listening to your viewers and giving them what they want. Even their misfires and middle-of-the-road shows are more than bearable (SheZow, animated Sabrina, Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, Kid President, Parents Just Don't Understand, and such.) If Hasbro were to grow dissatisfied with controlling six hours of its toy-based cartoons daily on Hub (which seems like a fair deal they've cut, tbh), and moved them over to Cartoon Network or Disney...well, at least the shows would still continue on, and be a MASSIVE boon to either of those channels.

It answers such questions as how to choose the right early-education opportunity for a preschooler, how to make sure a 5-year-old is ready for school, how to help a daughter do well in school, how to work with a daughter's or son's teachers, how to help a preteen develop strong values and character, how to help a teenager resist negative peer pressure, and how to be a strong role model for children. The guide discusses the need for parents to be engaged in their children's education and suggests four key roles for parents: create a home environment that promotes learning; provide extra services and support to students; work to make the system more responsive to all families; and serve on school committees and actively participate in efforts to improve school quality.

So, with a sense of trepidation, I boarded a bus crammed with tourists setting off on a one-day tour of the stunning coastline and sights around Halifax, Nova Scotia. This was a port of call on a 14-day Celebrity Cruises New England to Canada itinerary I was taking with my husband. With only nine hours of shore leave, the multiple-stop coach tour was the most expedient way of experiencing the regionÕs spectacular natural beauty and rich maritime history. I soon realised this form of sightseeing offered a distinct advantage over travelling solo. Knowledgeable tour guides provided a non-stop commentary of background information and historical and fun facts about the area. With pen in hand, I scribbled away noting tidbits of trivia (there are 175 lighthouses in Nova Scotia and a staggering 75 varieties of maple trees grow in the province), as the bus snaked along Route 333 through scenic countryside brimming with sparkling lakes and quaint fishing villages. Peggy’s Cove Despite being a major tourist attraction, PeggyÕs Cove remains an active fishing village.
