grills that is intended to reduce air pollution as well as health hazards in southern california with potential for global application this has led to some concerns that the epa will introduce further restrictions on newly manufactured propane grills one missouri state lawmaker has taken exception to the epa s maneuvering and has called for a campaign of defiance and civil disobedience dubbed the pork steak rebellion to preemptively thwart any moves by the agency it s a sentiment shared by state senator eric schmitt although this is not a new law the agency pushing to get on the books senator schmitt isn t taking any chances he introduced a resolution discouraging any regulations on the tradition of backyard barbecuing the lawmaker has a lot of support from people who couldn t agree more schmitt has also taken his campaign to twitter porksteakrebellion encouraging people to barbeque in their backyards meanwhile in texas austin s city council is mulling an ordinance that would require bbq joints or mobile food vendors within 150 feet of a residence to install restaurant grade scrubbers some businesses have stated they would have to move of shut down altogether due to the high cost of compliance several council members believe the smoke being emitted from these businesses are having an adverse affect on the health and quality of life of the people who live nearby renteria says he s fielded calls from concerned constituents saying that if this keeps on they were just going to have to sell their house and move out said renteria the whole resolution is not to try and run anyone out of business it s just we all want to be good neighbors this requirement does not apply to locations that burn supplemental wood chips and chunks in stove top box smokers using gas powered stoves or grills we would have to leave town most likely or just close up because it s just not an option to put scrubbers in for eight smoke stacks explained aaron franklin founder of the popular franklin bbq on east 11th street franklin says a solution is out there but they just have to find one so austinites can enjoy bbq without living in smoke this bbq thing creates a ton of revenue here in town said franklin who understands that something needs to be done to help neighbors cope with the smoke but he feels that scrubbers are not the answer as recently as last year the texas state environmental agency the texas commission on environmental quality had received complaints about smoke had visited multiple bbq joints in austin but in those instances the tceq found no violations

of lobsters overturns on interstate 95 in maine in what must have been the crustacean equivalent of that one scene from the fugitive a tractor trailer carrying 30 000 lbs of lobster overturned on i 95 in maine last week a tractor trailer carrying 30 000 pounds of live lobsters from nova scotia overturned early wednesday morning on interstate 95 southbound during whiteout conditions according to the driver and state police the driver horst puff 55 of greenfield nova scotia and his dog banjo 10 were not injured in the crash which occurred around midnight tuesday as puff tried to avoid striking a vehicle that had spun out in front of him both he and state police trooper joseph chretien said at the scene later wednesday i m ok puff said as he stood on i 95 his back against the wind there were dry roads from bangor down to here everything was ok he said then there was blowing snow whiteout conditions and a car in front of him the car hit the brakes i hit the brakes he said i saw nothing and came too far left and tipped over and banjo went on top of me he was on my chest the car that was in front of the truck never stopped and the driver s identity is not known police said the truck came to rest in the median about two miles north of exit 133 and near the fairfield town line there it stayed all day wednesday before it was finally removed around 7 p m the truck had to be righted with a crane and the difficulty as well as the strong wind that blew all day delayed the move both southbound lanes were briefly closed for the removal puff was driving the 2007 international truck owned by gerhardt trucking of nova scotia taking the lobsters to wholesalers in brooklyn n y and rhode island the lobsters in 300 crates that weighed about 100 pounds each survived the wreck and were being taken out of state following inspection by a state agriculture official chretien said banjo a ten year old australian shepherd husky mix survived the collision and is being cared for at nearby boulet s truck service in fairfield me gerhardt sent another truck and trailer down from nova scotia to bring the lobsters to their destination in new york investigators and the insurance company have said

eventful and record setting winter with this christmas card like scene in a quiet corner of upstate new york interchanging with pan am s former boston maine fitchburg main at the tiny hamlet of eagle bridge ny the batten kill operates some 30 miles of track in rural washington county on the ex delaware hudson slatepicker line between eagle bridge and salem ny which used to run further north to rutland vt nanesb as well as the former greenwich johnsonville line between greenwich and greenwich jct ny the primary source of traffic for the batten kill is a feed mill around greenwich jct but in recent years the line has also made some extra money storing freight cars on the seldom used line to salem during the economic downturn up until 10 years ago the batten kill also offered passenger excursions and an intact but disused line to the eastern shore of the hudson at thomson from greenwich once made it an attractive candidate for hauling unit trains of pcb contaminated sludge from the
