Organization Fights For Clean Air

By Terri Rimmer The Blue Skies Alliance in Dallas, TX has been fighting for clean air for years, battling the likes of electric companies and politicians. On Feb. 8th the organization held a press conference at TXU headquarters, the local electric company’s office. “Why is TXU sacrificing the health of citizens in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?” said Wendi Hammond of Blue Skies. “The huge proposed TXU plant would worsen air quality in DFW and would be the worst in the nation for toxic mercury.” According to Hammond Dallas and Forth Worth would be unable to meet air quality goals if the proposed coal plants are built. At a recent Toxic Texas Power Plant Tour health risks of building seven dirty coal plants was highlighted. Other parties involved in the fight include the Public Citizen, SEED Coalition, Dr. Shelly M. Harvey, Dallas League of Women Voters, TPOWER, Our Land Our Lives, and the Sierra Club. According to federal regulations the Metroplex needs to reduce the smog-forming gas (NOx)

World’s Greatest Pranks

By Terri Rimmer Alan Abel’s pranks go back to the late 1950s with a widely reported bogus campaign to clothe horses. The slogan? “A nude horse is a rude horse.” Then there was the regular prank caller guy who starred on Howard Stern’s radio show when his format was free. This man used to call into telethons and talk shows pretending to be a source until he got his contact on the phone – then he released his prank with both barrels. The Jerky Boys came out with comedy tapes in the 90s called “Prank Calls” and followed them with sequels featuring numerous digits dialed to doctor’s offices, construction companies, and other service organizations pretending to be anyone from a patient to a job applicant among others. In 1996 Taco Bell allegedly announced they had bought the Liberty Bell much to the chagrin of politicians and the public and that they would be renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. All a hoax. Last year a reporter squirted actor Tom Cruise in the face after pretending that he wa

Help Support Self-Esteem Programs

By Terri Rimmer The Girl Scouts of the USA has a program to help young women build self-confidence. The uniquely ME! Program also offers educational resources and hands on activities and is sponsored by the Dove Self Esteem Fund. With a True You Workbook the program addresses such issues as not feeling attractive. “A mom is one of the most important influences in the life of a daughter,” according to program literature. The program encourages moms to give their daughters strength and courage to feel beautiful in a world that may challenge her values by taking inventory of their own feelings of beauty. The program is for girls ages 8-14 and is available in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Three activity booklets available in English and bilingual English/Spanish guide girls through simple exercises that help them understand and build self-confidence. Created in 2002 to address the critical nationwide problem of low self-esteem among adolescent and pre-adolescent girls, the program recognizes s

It’s Not Easy Being Green

By Terri Rimmer Despite costs, many hotels are becoming environmentally conscious. Some hotels take fairly modest steps to reduce stress on the environment such as recycling bottles and plastics and using energy-saving light bulbs. Some have taken an especially active approach to environmental responsibility. Perhaps the best known are the Atlantic Shores Resort, Pearl’s Rainbow in Key West, Austin’s funky and retro-hip San Jose Hotel, and Park Lane Guest House. Atlantic Shores also allows pets with advanced notice. Pearl’s Rainbow was originally a cigar factory built in the 1800s. At the San Jose Hotel animals can swim in the pool. At the Park Lane Guest House, an organic breakfast can be served poolside or in your room. Among larger properties also consider Los Abrigados Resort in Sedona, the Best Western Capitol Skyline in Washington, Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires in Massachusetts, and the Hyatt Regency in Boston. At the Canyon Ranch tobacco products are not available for purchase.

Women Using Book To Help People and Animals

By Terri Rimmer Donations from the profits of a new book are going to help people with AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and their pets. Following the 2004 election, Cathy Conheim and her partner Dr. Donna Brooks were driving to their home, feeling discouraged about current events. There were “dog people” but when they arrived home they discovered a three-month-old kitten living on their property that had been injured badly. Off to the vet they sped with their young charge. An amputation was necessary to save the kitten’s life and they were told that he could no longer be an outdoor cat. They ended up adopting “Henry” and there ensued an incredible journey. Conheim started writing about the cat’s adventures as much for her own healing regarding some bad news politically as for anything else. She sent them to 20 people who sent them on, and today, Henry The Cat has 2,300 emails in ”his” letterbox in the sky. “My cat, Rhett Butler became one of Henry’s teachers and correspondent
