KINGMAN - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is digging up potentially dangerous relics of Kingman's past and temporarily relocating residents while the work is taking place. Around five people were moved out of their homes on Ryan and Hearne avenues last week so the Corps of Engineers could remove and replace the top two feet of soil on their property, land that was contaminated with residue from clay pigeons used at the old Kingman Army Ground-to-Ground Gunnery Range. In order to protect the health and safety of the residents, the Corps is paying to house three people in local hotels while the work is done. The residents also get a daily allowance to help with food and other necessities,true religion shoes. Two other residents are temporarily staying with relatives.Joyce Stutzman and her husband, Dannie, were two of the five people who were moved from the homes. They have been living in a local hotel for about a week. "It's an inconvenience, but we're retired, so it's not too bad for us,true religion jeans outlet," Joyce Stutzman said. "I'm sure it's a major inconvenience for the families with children." In all, 52 properties located on Tommie Drive and Lass, East Snavely, Thompson, Lum, Ryan, Hearne, Devlin, Shaeffer, John L and Northfield avenues north of the city limits will be affected by the cleanup, but not all of those properties have homes on them, said District Project Manager Fran Firouzi. She could not give an exact number of vacant lots. The range was part of the Kingman Army Air Base, which was located at the current site of the Kingman Airport and Industrial Park. The base was used during World War II to train soldiers how to use the guns on B-17 bombers. The base included a 75-acre skeet shooting range where soldiers practiced their skills shooting at clay targets called pigeons. In 1996, the Corps examined the area where the range had been located,handbags uk, looking for high explosives and ammunition. No high explosives were found.The Corps returned in 2010 to test the soil for various contaminants, including antimony, copper, lead, zinc and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,true religion jeans outlet.At that time, the Corps found high levels of PAHs from the clay pigeons on the 52 parcels.According to the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, PAHs are a group of more than 100 different chemicals that are formed when coal, oil, gas,celine handbags 2013, crude oil, creosote, roofing tar, tobacco and food are burned or grilled. They are also found in the coal tar that was used as a binder in the clay pigeons shot at the skeet range. PAHs attach themselves to dust and soil. A person can be exposed to PAHs by eating contaminated food or drink or inhaling tobacco smoke, dust or fumes. According to the Corps, PAHs are usually flushed out of the human body within a few days. Chronic exposure over several years can cause cancer, a decrease in respiratory function and kidney and liver damage in some people. Chronic exposure is defined as contact with PAHs 24 hours a day, 350 days of the year for at least 30 years. In order to remove the threat, the Corps is removing the top two feet of soil from 10 lots along Ryan, Hearn and Tommie Drive,coach purses on clearance, Firouzi said. The contaminated soil will be replaced with clean soil and the Corps will remove and replace all landscaping. The contaminated soil will be disposed of in a hazardous waste facility, she said.The soil under the homes, streets, sidewalks and driveways will not be removed. While leaving the contaminated soil there is not ideal, as long as access to that soil is restricted, it should minimize the risk, Firouzi said. The Corps will test and remove as much contaminated soil as it can from under mobile homes. In order to remove the contaminated dirt, the residents have to sign an agreement giving the Corps access to their property, Firouzi said. "They have the right to refuse to grant us access. It is their property," she said. If residents refuse to allow the Corps access to clean up their properties, then residents are responsible for disclosing that the property could be contaminated to future buyers, Firouzi said,oakley backpacks.Firouzi said the Corps expects the work on those 10 lots to be finished in the next month. Then it has to wait for funding from the federal government to clean up the next 42 parcels.

“While darkness is great in a big movie theater, it’s not always practical for your home theater. You’ll need to manage lighting in the room to ensure the best picture quality, whether you’re enjoying a family movie with the kids or watching the big game with friends,??Campbell says.

That’s without his three-year football career at wide receiver (he didn’t play football until being convinced by parents and coaches as a sophomore). Or his current project as a makeshift actor in the school’s presentation of “A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum,??where he plays a soldier.

Volunteers are encouraged and are welcome to help as their time allows. You don t have to be in a local congregation somewhere to come and volunteer. If you have a heart to do that, that you can help someone by doing that, then come down and volunteer, said Toombs. As one organizer told me while looking at the visitors being fed, We re the ones that feel truly blessed.

The town also lags in percentage of high school students taking Advanced Placement courses. Inexplicably, GHS has a rigid gatekeeping process that keeps too many students away from these more demanding courses. Such things as writing tests, or previous grade requirements,wholesale oakley sunglasses, or requiring teacher recommendations serve to discourage too many students from enrolling. One would think that limiting enrollment would result in higher-than-average pass rates on AP exams, but GHS AP exam pass rate is at a 10-year low. Related articles:
