A RECYCLING facility is to be moved to make more room for landfill.
Premier Waste Management is to move its materials recycling facility to Tursdale Business Park, near Bowburn, to allow the landfill at Joint Stocks, near Coxhoe, to expand on to its current site.
Durham County Council’s county planning committee backed the plan on Tuesday.
The facility will take construction and demolition waste for conversion into materials such as stone for use in concrete.
Rubber tyres will be processed for use as rubber carpet underlay and timber will be recycled.
Acombined total of up to 150,000 tonnes of waste a year could be processed, producing 92,000 tonnes of soil and stone. Thematerials recycling facility would be housed in a single building at the northern end of Tursdale Business Park, measuring 40m by 60m and up to 12m in height.
There would also be some work done outdoors. The site would be surrounded by a 2.4m-high security fence.
There could be up to 100 lorrymovements in and out of the facility each day.
Working hours would be 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday, and 7am to 5pm, on weekends and bank holidays.
During Tuesday’s meeting, held at County Hall, in Durham, Jan Blakey, Labour councillor for Durham South, raised concerns over the increased traffic, saying residents of nearby Ramsay Street already struggled to turn right out of their street onto the A688.
She said: “Would it be possible for the traffic that’s going to be using the new facility to use the new link road?
“The flow of traffic through Bowburn and Coxhoe is going to double.”
Highways officials said the volume of traffic on the A688 was very high – reaching 1,380 vehicles at peak hour – but was well within capacity and the road was operating safely.
Premier Waste Management plans to develop the Tursdale site within the next three to four months.
In 2007, the company obtained planning permission for construction of a six-tower aerobic digester on the site, but the scheme did not go ahead.
Tursdale Business Park was previously used by Middlesex-based recycling firm Greencycle, which collected kerbside waste in Durham, Sedgefield, Easington and Chester-le-Street. The firm collapsed in March.

A MAFIA gang destroyed a bowling alley and amusement arcade after a godfather’s wife left him.
Giuseppe Palumbo, 34, ordered the raid after his wife went to stay with an uncle, the owner of the premises.
Customers cowered as the sixstrong gang, wearing crash helmets and carrying guns, pushed over gaming machines and then poured petrol on to bowling lanes before setting them on fire.
Police released the footage of the raids at Giugliano and Pozzuoli near Naples, home of the southern Mafia known as the Camorra.
A spokesman said: “Palumbo was furious because the uncle had been given the money by him to set up the premises and he viewed it as an offence to his honour.”

Review / Pittsburgh Tribune – Review – Whistleblower says Massey fired him for talking to media

The Department of Labor is asking a federal oversight board to order Massey Energy Co. to reinstate a coal miner who claims the company fired him for reporting safety problems and discussing conditions at the Upper Big Branch mine with news organizations and federal investigators.
The mine near Montcoal, W.Va., is the site of the worst U.S. mine disaster in 40 years. Massey Energy transferred Ricky Campbell of Beckley, W.Va., from the Upper Big Branch mine to a nearby mine just six days before the April 5 explosion killed 29 miners and injured two.
During his three weeks working at the Slip Ridge Cedar Grove mine near Pettus, W.Va., Campbell reported several safety problems and shut down a shuttle car because of unsafe conditions, according to a report filed by Alan Howell, an investigator for the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Shortly after the Upper Big Branch explosion, Campbell talked to newspeople about conditions in the mine and said he talked with federal investigators, Howell said.
Marfork Coal Co., the Massey subsidiary that operates Slip Ridge Cedar Grove mine, suspended Campbell on April 14 and fired him April 23.
Howell’s report says “there is reasonable cause to believe that Marfork Coal Company retaliated against Mr. Campbell.”
MSHA is asking the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission to order Massey to reinstate Campbell until the commission rules on his whistleblower complaint.
Jonathan Price, a Charleston, W.Va., lawyer representing Campbell, confirmed details of the case but otherwise declined comment.
“I can’t really comment,” he said.
Massey spokesman Jeff Gillenwater said in an e-mail that the company denies Campbell’s claims.
“As the facts in this matter come to light, it will be very clear why Mr. Campbell was terminated and that his termination had nothing to do with him raising concerns about Massey Energy’s safety practices,” he said.
Gillenwater didn’t answer an e-mail asking for further explanation about why the company fired Campbell.
MSHA spokeswoman Amy Louviere declined comment.
Federal and company investigators re-entered the Upper Big Branch mine Wednesday for the first time since the explosion. While high methane and carbon dioxide levels curtailed their initial examination of the mine, they since have begun gathering physical evidence that will help determine what happened April 5

New airline offering may bolster San Diego tourism business: a flock of airlines link city and new destinations
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on July 31, 2010
San Diego Business Journal, July 5, 2010 by Lou Hirsh
Travel and tourism experts say the thousands of new visitors arriving on recently added flights at San Diego International Airport following nearly two years of airline service cutbacks–should help bring millions of dollars in economic impact to the region.
Some say the new airline offerings are also likely to bolster San Diego’s chances to snag convention and hotel business.
On June 18, Air Canada launched a daily nonstop flight between San Diego and the airline’s hub in Toronto. That came as Hawaiian Airlines started offering direct flights between Maui and San Diego for the first time since 2008.
Alaska Airlines and Delta Air Lines have also recently announced new local service to Hawaii. Among other recent changes, Southwest Airlines has added a daily nonstop local flight to St. Louis; Air Tran Airways debuted summer service to Atlanta and a daily nonstop flight to Milwaukee; and Midwest Airlines, in partnership with Frontier Airlines, began seasonal direct service to Milwaukee.
While they won’t restore local air travel to peak levels seen in 2007, when the San Diego airport handled 18 million passengers, observers say the latest service additions mark the first glimmers of recovery since skyrocketing fuel prices and a deep recession hobbled air travel starting in 2008.
Hampton Brown, director of route service development for the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, which runs San Diego International, said the local airport did not see major service curtailments by the biggest carriers, but several cut back on the frequency of some less-popular routes during the recession.
Positive Economic Impact
“It’s not enough so far to make up for the flights that have been lost, but the number has still been growing,” Brown said of the newly announced routes.
Based on visitor spending figures from the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau, Brown estimates that the new flights, if they stay in place, could bring in enough new out-of-town visitors to generate around $43 million in annual economic impact for the region.
The jury remains out on whether the latest flight additions lead to a larger recovery in local air travel. Brown noted that 2010 traffic so far at San Diego International, also known as Lindbergh Field, remains flat compared with the same period of 2009, and well off from 2007 levels.
In May, San Diego International handled a total of 1,415,637 arriving and departing passengers, down 0.6 percent from May 2009, according to Airport Authority data. From January to May, the passenger count was 6,611,339 a drop of 0.4 percent from the first five months of 2009.
But local tourism and hospitality observers are encouraged by the prospect of future new visitors arriving on the added flights.
Steven Johnson, spokesman for the San Diego Convention Center Corp., which operates the city’s convention center, said new direct flights will help the city better market itself to places such as eastern Canada, as well as the midwestern and southeastern United States.
Boosting Event Attendance
Convention organizers often make venue decisions based on how easy it is for members to find flights to those destinations, at the right price.
“It helps not just with booking events, but also with boosting attendance at the events,” Johnson said

were notable examples and not exceptions of these.
In our modern times today, while it is a fact that the physical walls have crumbled, the customs and immigration walls are vibrant for all of us who travel regularly out of our respective countries to others, to experience.
The stories of the men and women of diverse backgrounds which I listed above showed
a sparkling common gold thread of people who kept appointment with the midnight hour mentally and spiritually and were not disappointed.
When you wrestle mentally and spiritually at the ‘entry point’ of any territory or season with the ‘gate-keeper’ in charge of that territory or season, and you win, you are bound to shine and florish like the morning star.
All these men and women of stature, status and stardom are victors of the ‘battle of the gates’. In my next article, I would show you what the midnight-battle of the gate means.

A Coraopolis man who was one of Allegheny County Sheriff Department’s Most Wanted fugitives was arrested at a home near Philadelphia, deputies said Tuesday.
Joshua Alvin Williams, 30, who was wanted for bond violations in five cases, was arrested late Monday by state police in Chester County after sheriff’s deputies learned where he was staying, Sheriff’s Lt. Jack Kearney said. A warrant for Williams’ arrest was issued by Common Pleas Judge Jill E. Rangos, who is scheduled to hold trials on all five cases Oct. 21.
The most serious case against Williams stems from a robbery at Advanced Auto Parts Store in Penn Hills, said Kearney.
Williams is accused of forcing the store manager to give him cash, as well as his cell phone and driver’s license
