Florida fails to take action on pollution
Having participated in over 200 pollution control and energy conservation projects in my career as an environmental engineer, the sources of Florida s extensive pollution problems, including those at Piney Point, are obvious.
There is technology to address essentially any pollution problem if the issue is addressed promptly at its source, utilizing proven techniques, with proper environmental laws and enforcement in place.
When these problems are not addressed properly, and in a timely manner, the financial and human costs incurred will be enormous, compared with those costs incurred if the issue was addressed properly.
Bill Baker, Sr., age 85, of Harrogate, had been missing since Feb. 16.
He was last seen at Auto Zone in Middlesboro, Kentucky Feb. 24 by an employee.
Baker suffered from dementia.
According to a report from officials with the Bell County Sheriffâs Office, Bell County Rescue Squad and Kentucky State Police found Bakerâs body Tuesday night in the Page Cutoff community after someone reported a body in the woods while looking for deer sheds.
When Bell County Coroner Jay Steele arrived at the scene, he positively identified Baker.
An autopsy has been ordered, but there is no known cause of death at this time.
