The day I started my trip down the Duck River
I felt a little trepidation but mostly I was invigorated by the opportunity to spend a month in nature
It took me about an hour to reach the point where I wasn’t having to drag my boat most of the time
where the narrow valley of steep rock formations opened up into a sunny meadow
the river became wide and even deep in spots
Once you commit to spending a month on a river
you realize you’re not going anywhere fast
So roughly 26 days (it actually took 28) on the Duck
I’ve traveled about 14,000 miles down America’s rivers over the last 21 years
paddling a canoe or sailing a one-man sailboat
waking up with the sun and getting into a rhythm with the river
you relax and start really paying attention to the beauty around you
You get an opportunity to enter into what is for me a spiritual zone - one-on-one with God’s creation
down to spend some time on the river continue to resonate with me
one of the three most biodiverse rivers in the world
host to the largest variety of living organisms of any freshwater river in North America − so an incredible natural sanctuary
it has been declared one of the most endangered rivers in the country
people have used the Duck for drinking water
for bathing and cooking and watering our lawns and cooling our factories and the list goes on
We have taken for granted that the Duck will always be there
That there would always be plenty of water in this riverbed
But the water in the Duck is not an infinite resource
Opinion: Time for TVA, state regulators to step up
We are currently removing 59 million gallons of water a day out of the river
to support about 250,000 people who live on farms and in fast-growing towns like Columbia
Some of the utility companies that serve these towns have permit requests before the state to take an additional 19 million gallons/day out of the river
That would mean that those utilities would be authorized to remove close to 80 million gallons of water a day out of the river
The best news the Duck River has received in a very long time occurred on Nov. 20 when Gov. Bill Lee issued Executive Order 108
directing the state Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) to establish a planning partnership with interested stakeholders
to develop policies that will ensure the Duck can survive
a big part of protecting the Duck River watershed is protecting its wetlands
which recharge the flow of the river and remove pollutants
and those wetlands are facing their own threats
I believe the Governor’s order is a huge step in the right direction
He not only is directing action to improve conditions within the Duck River Watershed
but he also wants to apply this approach to every watershed in the state
For the actions you are taking to protect the Duck River and our other waterways
for anyone interested in learning what they can do to help the Duck River
John Guider is an award-winning photographer who began his journeys down the waterways of America in 2003
He has canoed or sailed in a one-man sailboat
He has recently completed a month-long journey down the Duck River
and a film documentary of the trip is currently being developed by PBS Nashville
the company is investing $2.2 billion in capital expenditure this year
Low river flows at Tottys Bend Bridge in Hickman County
The photographer and conservationist will soon launch a three-and-a-half-week journey down the endangered waterway
John Guider is no stranger to life-threatening situations
having survived at least three episodes where he was within minutes of his own death
it’s not his own life he is concerned about
As he prepares to travel solo by canoe the full length of Middle Tennessee’s Duck River
it’s the survival of the river itself that worries him most
Other voyages include sailing the 6,000-mile Great Loop, which connects the Great Lakes and the intracoastal routes of the Eastern Seaboard. His retracing of John Donelson’s 1779 trip is chronicled in the book Voyage to Adventure: Retracing the Donelson Party’s Journey to the Founding of Nashville
which also spun off a documentary through Nashville Public Television
it’s the longest Tennessee river that never leaves the state
When asked the inevitable “why,” at the age of 75
he still feels compelled to test himself on these trips
Guider answers without hesitation: “It’s a passion for me
and the beauty and spirituality of being in nature
of being able to see a tree as an individual
and not speeding down the highway,” he muses from East Nashville
“The combination of the exercise and spirituality
While Guider won’t have to deal with tidal whirlpools and water so cold you can feel it drain life out of you
the Duck River comes with its own troubles
A visit to the naked banks tells a story of an ecosystem fighting for survival
What was hailed by National Geographic as one of the three most biodiverse rivers in the world is currently languishing in severe and extreme drought
organizations like the Harpeth Conservancy have been working to protect the Duck River for years
Litter cleanup is just one way the group works to restore our waterways
One of the barometers of the river’s health is the population of humble freshwater mussels
some are critically endangered — including a species found only in that river
thousands of the bivalves are drowning in air
you get the sense that he feels the existential molluscan pain
Guider’s original interest in the Duck came from trips he took with his young son
Later he learned the utilities along the river that have supplied local communities and industries were petitioning to draw even more water
Current permits allow for up to 59 million gallons per day to be drawn off
New permits are asking for another 19 million gallons
numbers that are untenable given the drought conditions
Unprecedented community growth and unchecked needs for water have drawn great environmental concern
coupled with climate shifts that spur more frequent and extreme weather events like heat and drought
has the Duck locked in a struggle for survival
senior attorney and director of the Nashville office of the Southern Environmental Law Center
has been retained by the Tennessee Wildlife Federation to challenge the terms of the permits
“It is a finite resource of limited capacity,” says Nolan
who recently found he could wade across a once-deep section of the Duck in Hickman County without getting his knees wet
“What we object to are lax permits,” says Nolan
“We need appropriate guardrails that require utilities to start reducing human water consumption during periods of drought
There is currently no plan for such impacts
If we don’t learn how to respect the river’s capacity
His other concern is about the return of wastewater to the river
there is not enough clean water to dilute the waste
“Healthy populations of freshwater mussels are the ‘canaries in the coal mine,’” he says
and are the first to die and last to come back
Some of the larger ones can filter up to 50 gallons a day.”
While the initial environmental impact of over-harvesting the water piqued Guider’s interest
the exacerbating effect of the current drought made this trip all the more imperative
He is also in discussions with NPT about another documentary to help raise awareness
Guider plans to launch his solo canoe Monday and estimates the trip will take about three-and-a-half weeks
Scouting trips have already confirmed some of his fears about the water levels in the upper sections above the Normandy Dam
forcing him to shift his put-in point from the Old Stone Fort to Powers Bridge due to limited navigability
discussions have begun among state and local stakeholders
from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation
to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency
which recognizes the recreational role of the river
In between are the Tennessee Valley Authority
controlling water releases from the dam at Normandy Lake
and the myriad environmental organizations that advocate for the rivers
recalling being attacked by sharks and alligators
and being pulled from the North Pacific as the tunnel of light began to close in
Guider has partnered with the Harpeth Conservancy, which will remain in contact with him and track his progress. Follow along on his journey at harpethconservancy.org/johnguider

a crowd of supporters and fellow canoers met environmental advocate John Guider at Riverwalk Park in Columbia
a quick stop on his journey to canoe the full 265-mile length of the Duck River
the most biodiverse river in North America
The Duck River was most recently named as one of the nation's top three most endangered rivers by the American Rivers report
meeting the criterion of drying riverbanks
nutrient pollution and decreasing water quality
Guider intends on raising awareness about the imminent environmental threats to the river

He says he already sees signs of the river's environmental crisis through its drying riverbeds as he glides along the route
The Duck River provides drinking water to 250,000 neighboring constituents
It's the longest river within the self-contained boundaries of Tennessee and is home to various rare species of mussels that naturally purify the water
"It is the lifeblood of this region," Jess Martin said communications coordinator of nonprofit Harpeth Conservancy
a science-based conservation organization in Middle Tennessee
We need to ensure it remains a vital resource."
Guider called his 21 years of canoeing on America's most beautiful waterways "a spiritual passion."
"The [Duck River] banks are so high and the trees are so thick
it makes me feel I've gone back in time to what God created
He said he regularly sees all kinds of natural life like otters
"This is an important time for the Duck River," he said
"It's beauty and biologically diverse [aquatic] life could soon go away."
Bill Lee signed legislation passed by the 113th General Assembly that will expand the Duck River's Class II Pastoral River designation from Maury County to the Hickman County line
The legislation aims to protect the waterways drinking water

LLC filed a petition to appeal the board's decision on May 10
according to Nashville Chancery Court records
Three permit applications to establish the landfill filed in 2022 are still pending by the Tennessee Department of Environmental Department
According to TDEC spokesperson Kim Schofinski
the state cannot take any action on the permits without county approval
or approval by the Marshall/Maury Municipal Solid Waste Planning Region Board
Pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated 68-211-814(b)(2)

IRONDEQUOIT, N.Y. – Thousands of people watched our investigative report on the Big Lots store manager who says he was fired for following a shoplifter
Pat Guider says he left the store to track the shoplifter because Guider says he threw a punch at his assistant manager
A husband and wife back up Guider’s story and the wife told News10NBC the shoplifter hit her too
“I felt something shove me,” Karen Eagan said
Karen and Tom Eagan had just finished shopping at the Big Lots on Hudson Avenue in Irondequoit
Karen says the shoplifter dropped his elbow into her as he ran away
“I was startled when it happened and then when I saw what was going on I guess I was just angry,” she said
This is the incident that the former store manager says got him fired
Pat Guider believes he was fired because he violated company policy about pursuing and trying to identify shoplifters
Guider says he followed the shoplifter because he threw a punch at his assistant manager
“I let people who shoplift leave the store every day
We just put it in the system like they ask us to do
This was an assault,” Guider said at his home last week
“I thought I was doing the right thing by calling asset protection and reporting it and it ends up getting me fired
Tom Eagan told me he drove around the neighborhood looking for the shoplifter.When he didn’t find him
Eagan returned to the store parking lot and talked with Guider
he and Karen watched the News10NBC story on his firing
Isn’t that the guy we met?” Tom said
Karen says Irondequoit Police asked her if she wanted to file a report but she declined
We have emailed and called Big Lots for a week now
We asked for the company policy on shoplifting and if following a shoplifter out of a store is a fire-able offense

— A former manager at Big Lots in Irondequoit says he followed a shoplifter into a parking lot trying to help police catch him
“I thought I was doing the right thing,” Pat Guider said
“And it ends up getting me fired.”
Shoplifting is a huge problem in New York. In one year
retailers lost $4.4 billion to theft and the state lost $176 million in sales tax
On May 10, a shoplifter tried to leave the Big Lots store on Hudson Avenue
Store Manager Pat Guider says he saw the shoplifter take a swing at his assistant manager
Guider says he followed the man at a distance through the parking lot relaying his location to 911 in the hopes police could arrest him
Guider got fired.“What I saw is that he took a swing
like a punch at (the assistant manager),” Guider said from his kitchen table at his house in Irondequoit
He swung his clinched fist in an upper cut as he described what he saw
That’s why Guider says he followed the shoplifter out of the store
Despite 20 years with the company and a positive review in March
the company did not see it the way Guider did
Two weeks after the incident, Guider says he was called to his district manager’s office and fired, and he says he was told it was because of the shoplifting incident.Berkeley Brean
chief investigative reporter: “Do you think you did the right thing?” Pat Guider
fired manager: “I think I did the right and just thing
The right and just thing.”This is not the first retail store manager fired over how they handled a shoplifter. It’s not even the first Big Lots manager fired. Just Google it and you’ll see the story of the store manager in California.Brean tried to call Big Lots
but there’s no phone number to reach the CEO or communication chief
He emailed the company on Tuesday afternoon
Wednesday evening, and again on Friday morning. Brean asked why Guider was fired
Is following a shoplifter a fireable offense
What training do managers get for shoplifters
a poster in the Big Lots lunchroom warns all employees to “never leave the store to pursue
or identify a customer.”Brean took the issue to labor lawyer Paul Keneally at the law firm of Underberg & Kessler.Brean: “Here
a guy goes out to try to help police track down a shoplifter
that can happen and maybe a little bit of the fault of lawyers in the way this country is so sue happy is that the company is probably considering the liability of any sort of interaction between the perpetrator and store employee.”“So they have a rule in place that the employees are not to do anything
and it’s unfortunate because it sounds like this person was trying to do the right thing,” Keneally said.“So
I did not put any shoppers in jeopardy,” Guider said as we stood in the parking lot where he followed the shoplifter.He pointed out the Dunkin’ store where he and police found the shopping cart but lost sight of the shoplifter
Irondequoit Police say the assistant manager declined medical care
Now, Guider and his wife are trying to figure out how to get health insurance
They still have two boys in college and at 62
Guider’s not sure how easy it will be to find another job.“The good thing is we have a huge faith in God
It’s going to be difficult,” Guider says
What happened to that store manager exemplifies why New York’s retail workers union is pushing lawmakers to support a bill that would require training in violence prevention
News10NBC’s Deanna Dewberry chatted with Josh Kellermann
the director of public policy for New York’s Union for Retail Workers
He explained why so many retailers have zero tolerance policies when it comes to confronting shoplifters
you’re no longer protected by the insurance plan of the company
You’re operating as an individual rather than as a worker
You’re outside the scope of your employment
so that could put direct legal liability on that person,” says Kellerman
“There are certainly reasons why that policy exists.”
I still think that this is less a problem of whether this is the right policy or not
but rather it’s that workers need to be adequately trained in how to understand these dynamic and difficult situations
He believes Pat Guider’s situation makes the case for the need for worker training
and it would give clear parameters for handling situations where workers or customers are at risk
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has a specialized taskforce that targets retail theft
News10NBC Investigative Reporter Jennifer Lewke rode along with that team recently to see how it works.
The taskforce conducts details that last for a two to four days at a time
bouncing between different retailers in big and small towns across the county
but shoplifters will if they leave the store with stolen stuff
Plainclothes deputies go into a store’s security office with loss prevention officers to monitor cameras and look for shoplifters
They radio outside to waiting teams of deputies when they see someone stealing
it took seven of you to stop that person?’ No
it didn’t take seven of us to stop that person
It took seven of us to make sure nobody fought
and nobody ran away,” explains Investigator Sergeant David Bolton of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department.
I would have stopped if I knew you were the police.’ So
they’re under the impression that the store is not going to stop them as long as they don’t stop
Even though the stores are basically begging for help
corporate offices insist on strict protocols
“Different stores have different policies
They don’t want something very overt
They don’t want arrests on their properties,” explains Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter.
“We’re working hand in glove with the retailers.”
Wondering just how big of a problem retail theft is in our community? Last week, the Monroe County Sheriff was in the same store as a man trying to steal a shopping cart of computers. Take a listen at what happened next:@news10nbc pic.twitter.com/jDPOfiMNeS
More than 200 shoplifters have been charged as part of these details over the past two years
for the same suspects to be arrested for larceny during different details
That’s why the sheriff’s office has now been using what’s called a “harm plus harm” provision in the law to try and hold more suspects
“That allows us to detain and bring someone before a judge for a bail application if they’re already out and they’re repeating a harm offense and they consider larceny a harm,” explains Baxter.
The hope is to break what is a cycle for some suspects by helping them get into drug treatment
“If we can shut down millions of dollars on larcenies
that’s millions of dollars of inflation we’re all not paying for
and the point I’m trying to get through to my legislators is it’s the poorest people on our community who are really paying for it
we can afford an inflation of four to five dollars every time we go to Home Depot or Target
we’re all making them pay for criminal activity we could control pretty easy,” he Baxter says

who was jailed for killing Bondi schoolgirl Samantha Knight and sexually abusing more than a dozen children
Corrective Services NSW on Saturday confirmed the serial paedophile’s death

“A 73-year-old inmate has died at Prince of Wales Hospital on Saturday
“The man was pronounced deceased at about 7.25am
Corrective Services NSW and NSW Police investigate all deaths in custody regardless of the circumstances.”
Guider drugged and killed nine-year-old Samantha in 1986 after abducting her from near her home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs
but it was not until February 2001 that he was arrested for the crime
Samantha Knight was 9 when she disappeared from Bondi in 1986
Having been handed a 17-year jail sentence
he was released from Sydney’s Long Bay jail in 2019 under a five-year extended supervision order that included conditions such as electronic monitoring and restrictions on his internet access
The NSW government had attempted to keep him detained after his sentence had expired, but he was set free
At the time, Samantha’s mother Tess Knight could not conceal her fury
“I see the effect that this has had on the people he abused as children
“They have to live with the thought of him walking around having the freedom they don’t have.”
Guider was arrested again and sent back to prison in 2022 for breaching the order after police discovered that he had been searching for material involving young children on his mobile phone
Guider had earlier been jailed for sex offences committed against 13 young boys and girls between 1980 and 1996

it really does feel like a celebration and it's important for the GUIDER board to have a night like this to celebrate and to support the NHL and their DEI efforts as well through the Hockey Is For Everyone platform.”

but out of passion and out of heart for being a part of Nashville and the people that call this place home
And having our fan base look more like our community is a priority

Cameroon/Norway: Release by Scatec has entered into two new lease agreements with the national electricity company ENEO in Cameroon
expanding its existing solar and battery storage power plants in the country to 64.4 MW of solar and 38.2 MWh of batteries
Release completed the already existing solar plants in Maroua and Guider in Cameroon (35.8 MW solar and 19 MWh BESS) in September 2023
and is now adding 28.6 MW of solar and 19.2 MWh of battery storage
The Maroua and Guider solar power plants are based on the innovative Release solution of movable panels and batteries
which are deployed under a simple and flexible leasing contract
Release has available funding for these projects based on the capital raise completed last year when Climate Fund Managers came in as equity investor with 32% ownership stake
“This extension is a testimony to the success of the initial projects and to the benefits provided by our innovative offering
By increasing the installed capacity in the country
we are reaffirming our collaboration with ENEO and our commitment to Cameroon as a key market for our solutions,” says Hans Olav Kvalvaag
“In addition to improving electricity supply in Cameroon and significantly reducing the cost and CO2 emissions from alternative generation based on diesel supply
these pioneering leasing contracts with ENEO are serving as a model for access to affordable clean energy for other countries and large energy consumers in the region
We have the funding available to support significant growth and expect to close and start implementing several additional projects from our pipeline in the coming months,” adds Kvalvaag
When the extensions of the projects are completed
Release’s projects in totality will supply energy to about 200,000 households in Cameroon
generating an annual production of about 141.5 GWh of electricity
In combination with the storage capacity the installation will ensure stable supply of electricity also during peak hours
“ENEO Cameroon has renewed its trust in its partner Release by Scatec to double the capacity of the solar power plants in Guider and Maroua
This move will enable Eneo to further secure power generation in the Northern regions while also improving service quality for households and the industrial sector in these regions
This new step towards more reliable and carbon-free energy is part of Eneo’s strategy
under the auspices of the Government of Cameroon
to sustainably improve on the power available in Cameroon,” according to Amine Homman Ludiye
“Our successful partnership with Release by Scatec has greatly benefited the local population in northern Cameroon by eliminating blackouts
This new project will further reduce our dependency on diesel and save the government millions of dollars in fuel costs,” says H.E
The projects were originally developed in partnership with Izuba Energy and Sphinx Energy
