The “Union City Oral History Book”, written by Myrla Raymundo, Founder/CEO of the Union City Historical Museum” is a collection of about 200 interviews she conducted with Union City leaders, City staff members, and civic-minded people both past and present. For early founders of what is now Union City, she of course had to rely on documents in the Union City Historical Museum and/or reference materials given to her by living relatives of these pioneers. She is again seeking personal stories from residents for her third book. Residents are asked to submit tales of growing up in Union City, attending school, going to the stores, and memories of the old towns, Alvarado and Decoto. Residents can send their stories to the Union City Historical Museum, 3841 Smith Street, Union City. Or they can send their names and telephone numbers to Myrla Raymundo at the Museum for interviews.

'General' the dog opens doors, flees animal clinic ASSOCIATED PRESS

STAFFORD, Va. (AP), A dog who escaped from a Virginia animal hospital after opening several doors has been found and reunited with his owner. Travis Campbell tells news outlets that his family was board- ing their 10-year-old Great Pyrenees named General at the Aquia-Garrisonville Animal Hospital in Stafford while they vacationed in Virginia Beach when the dog left the clinic on Monday, April 10. Surveillance video shows the 124-pound dog unlatching the door to his kennel and opening a second door before wandering down a hallway. Footage then shows General using his mouth to open another door. The dog was seen in an office area before opening yet another door leading to a parking lot behind the building and walking out. Campbell says General was eventually located after being found at a home nearby. Tiger Cubs visit Tri-City Voice

EARTHTALK

FROM THE EDITORS OF E - THE ENVIRONMENTAL MAGAZINE

Dear EarthTalk: If Neil Gorsuch is confirmed to fill the vacant seat on the Supreme Court, what will be the implications for environmental and climate policy? — Jim Metcalf, Newark, Delaware

Environmental leaders aren’t particularly jazzed about Neil Gorsuch as Donald Trump’s nominee to fill the vacancy left on the U.S. Supreme Court following the death of Antonin Scalia in February 2016. For starters, the name Gorsuch brings back bad memories of the 1980s when Anne Gorsuch (Neil’s mother) slashed federal environmental funding by 22 percent as head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Ronald Reagan. Greens at the time accused her of placating polluters and trying to dismantle the very agency she was hired to run. (And it’s deja vu all over again at the EPA with Scott Pruitt now at the helm.)

But it would be unfair to judge a son based on his mother’s doings some four decades ago. Nevertheless, environmentalists aren’t finding much to like from Neil Gorsuch either. According to Billy Corriher of the Center for American Progress, Judge Gorsuch made his way onto candidate Trump’s radar as a potential Supreme Court nominee in August 2016 after writing a “controversial manifesto arguing that it should be easier for corporations and individuals suing federal agencies to have courts strike down regulations and overrule decisions by experts at agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency.”

Gorsuch contends that the judiciary should be able to overrule how federal agency experts interpret how a given law should be implemented. In the case of global warming, the Obama EPA interpreted carbon dioxide as a harmful pollutant worth regulating under the Clean Air Act based on the recommendations of the very agency experts Gorsuch would potentially seek to overrule.

Like Trump’s cabinet picks, Gorsuch favors the shrinking of federal bureaucracy and an increased reliance on the states to handle their own problems. This antipathy toward federal regulations is another reason Gorsuch could be a disaster for the climate in the case he casts the deciding vote on the Supreme Court against implementing the Clean Power Plan, an Obama- era effort to ratchet down carbon emissions from the utility sec- tor by moving away from coal. Without the Clean Power Plan — currently cooling its heels in judicial review and likely headed for the Supreme Court later this year — there’s little hope of the U.S. meeting its Paris climate accord emissions reduction commitments.

Another concern is Gorsuch’s historically dismissive posture toward the standing of public interest groups as plaintiffs (defined as their right to file suit given direct injury or harm). According to EnviroNews, Gorsuch dismissed a 2015 case brought by a hunters and anglers group against the Forest Service for allowing motorcycles to access trails in Colorado’s San Juan National Forest due to lack of direct harm. Likewise, he barred three leading environmental groups from joining a 2013 suit regarding where off-road vehicles could travel in New Mexico’s Santa Fe National Forest.

Greens, still hopeful that the judiciary can be the last check on the conservative-dominated legislative and executive branches, are crossing their fingers that Democrats can block Gorsuch and send the Trump administration back to the drawing board for someone more to their liking.
