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.

growth 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 Any person with disabilities who needs help accessing the content of the FCC Public file should contact Richard Reingold at rreingold@whec.com or 585-546-1701 — 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 The requested URL was not found on this server Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply Service map data © OpenStreetMap contributors The world we’ve known of free trade and open markets so that all countries could develop and prosper is over After weeks of market volatility, backroom political lobbying, corporate unease, fear and disbelief, we now have a clear picture of how this American administration plans ...
