Begue has sought referrals of possible candidates from sheriff's staff he planned to speak to a group of between 80 and 100 National Guard personnel to sell them on the career "It's not an easy position," he acknowledged adding it's nothing like what's portrayed on TV or in the movies In its most recent ranking of best and worst jobs Careercast rated corrections officer as the sixth worst job Right alongside the likes of nuclear decontamination technician and newspaper reporter Corrections officers deal with a population that can include the mentally ill gang members and people who are just plain angry Louis University study, published in a 2019 edition of the "Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine," noted 53.4% of corrections officers reported having post traumatic stress disorder — eight times higher than in society as a whole is $19.97 per hour with a current ceiling of $25.76 along with a host of benefits in their Fraternal Order of Police contract And what many don't realize is you don't have to be a deputy to work a corrections job in the jail An employee roster of 84 men and women currently includes 58 corrections officers and 26 deputies Staff size regularly shrinks because some burn out and quit; deputies assigned to the jail usually jump at a road patrol post when one opens; and some corrections officers use the position as a foot in the door then go on to continue training to become a full-fledged deputy where the population has climbed back into the 400s post-pandemic Job qualifications are: High school diploma or equivalent; Ohio driver's license; no felony convictions; and at least 21 years old by Dec Interested applicants can visit https://www.starkcountyohio.gov/sheriff/employment-opportunities or contact Reda by email

new mixed-use cultural building that houses El Roure Civic Center and La Ginesta Library aside from a multipurpose theater for 336 people The project is the result of the joint work and efforts of technicians This facility is organized around two main objectives: generating an ‘interior plaza’ where neighbors can meet and favoring an interaction with the environment recovering in this way the Riera Fonda de Begues located on a triangular plot surrounding the Riera takes the boundaries of the plot as reference and makes them its own by occupying it entirely generating a horizontal construction that blends with the landscape which concentrates the three elements of the program is developed from an ‘agora’ that articulates different functional spaces around it The interior is organized in elongated strata that follow the course of the Riera and create different types of spaces: the most open-plan ones are located close to the facade of the Riera are located towards the facade that looks out towards the mountain the work fosters the natural revitalization of the Riera generating a promenade of access to the facilities and a path that connects with the other bank The promenade becomes wider as it passes by an oak tree that is almost totemic in character and lends its name to the center the new path joins the cultural center with the old abattoir the  center functions as a social and cultural catalyzer and enhances the natural surroundings through the recovery of the Riera Fonda de Begues and of an old  oak tree that lends its name to the building Designed in accordance with sustainability criteria the building has a biomass power plant and a self-sufficient system for rainwater collection on the roof which is connected to a tank located below ground and which services the restrooms and also addressing the high interest in energy efficiency the two main facades are configured in different ways depending on their orientation and function with a first layer of pine wood and a second of glass whose high thermal performance makes it possible to enjoy northern light in the library space the facade covering the theater and civic center features a ventilated system with cork insulation and heat-treated pine wood The building melds with its surroundings with a pine wood surface along the front facing the mountain and reflects the landscape through a second glass skin on the north facade that zigzags alongside the stream Joan Vilanova (dirección de ejecución construction manager) Marc Sanabra (cálculo de estructuras structure

And, when that project is done in about two months, so is E.M. Scott General Contractor, which was founded in 1927. The Scott family that has run the business for 95 years is hanging up their tool belts. They donated to the Tampa Bay History Center a collection of old photographs of buildings erected by the company. And on Saturday at 10 a.m. at their office at 1614 S 50th St., they will auction all remaining equipment, office furniture, trucks, power tools and supplies. “I’m tired,” said Mark Scott, 70, who was the third-generation president of the company until 2020. He has since served as vice president. “I’m going to retire.” A vintage picture showing a horse race at Sunshine Park in Tampa, with work on the clubhouse in background completed by E. M. Scott General Contractor, is displayed in the office at the business. [ DOUGLAS R. CLIFFORD | Times ]His niece Michelle Scott Begue is the currentpresident. She is not retiring but is ready for something new. “I don’t know what yet,” she said. “I’m going to take some time to decide and spend time with my family. I haven’t taken a summer vacation in years.” Still, Scott and Begue admit that they will miss the business. “I’ll miss working with family,” Begue said, “and seeing everyone on a regular basis.” Scott added he will also miss the clients. “I enjoy that personal relationship,” he said. “I like to know everything about every client’s fishing trips.” A picture of E. M. Scott General Contractor’s founder Edward Michael Scott is displayed in the office at the business. [ DOUGLAS R. CLIFFORD | Times ]According to family lore, boats helped establish the family in the construction business. Scott said his great-grandfather Julius Scott immigrated from Germany and then moved to Pasco County, where he served as a superintendent on the construction of the Saint Leo monastery. He lived on the other side of the neighboring lake and “rowed to work every morning,” Scott said. Scott’s grandfather, Edward M. Scott, would later work as a patternmaker in the Tampa shipyards while building fishing boats and kayaks on the side. He then started a cabinetmaking company that, in 1927, evolved into E.M. Scott General Contractor, just as Davis Islands was being developed into a resort community. “We have old pictures of Davis Islands where it is completely empty,” said Amelia Scott, the family company’s project coordinator. “And that was the beginning for us.” E.M. Scott General Contractor was among those tasked with building some of the islands’ first homes. A vintage picture documenting cornice work being completed by E. M. Scott General Contractor at the former GTE Building in Tampa is displayed in the office at the business. [ DOUGLAS R. CLIFFORD | Times ]By the 1950s, they were constructing sports facilities, such as the original Plant City Stadium and stables and a clubhouse at Tampa Downs, which was then known as Sunshine Park. They were at work in downtown Tampa in the 1960s, erecting a 12-story annex for the General Telephone Company of Florida on the corner of Twiggs and Morgan streets and the Ashley Building on Ashley Drive, both since razed. They built additions on West Tampa’s St. Joseph’s Hospital in the 1970s. In recent years, they were the general contractor for downtown’s Trinity Cafe. An advertisement run in the Tampa Tribune in 1989 proclaimed that the company had been “building Tampa since the twenties.” “We helped build this city,” she said. “We’re proud of that legacy. It’s sad to close, but it’s time to move on.” Paul GuzzoFormer Culture and Hillsborough Reporter Archive Architecture In the course of the excavation process in Can Sadurní cave (Begues members of the Col·lectiu per la Investigació de la Prehistòria i lʼArqueologia del Garraf-Ordal (CIPAG) together with the UB Seminar of Studies and Prehistoric Research (SERP) with one complete arm and the initial part of the other the most ancient human figurine of the Prehistory in Catalonia;

they could be carvings that seem to reproduce some elements of clothing and ornaments this kind of images used to be dressed up as humans and they do not show clearly sexual attributes so normally the only element that allows to know the sex of the figure are breasts the absence of female breasts makes think that probably it is a male figurine This male attribution means a novelty in the Iberian Peninsula because more than the 80 % of similar Mediterranean and European representations are female ones The existence of a left arm is quite obvious because of the loosening fracture observed on the opposite side this arm will probably be found in future excavation procedures This feature indicates that the original position that the artisan imagined was the one of a figurine hanged from a cord or a leather strap The cord might have been used in order to hang the figurine on a personʼs neck or on a site inside the cave The figurineʼs neck is nearly all preserved and it is possible that the head was mobile and interchangeable Some examples of detached heads made of stone terracotta or pottery have been found in sites of Neolithic Balkan and West Mediterranean cultures A great number of researchers believe that these heads were interchangeable and fact which explains why they have not been found A careful observation allows identifying the figurineʼs breast and back: on its back there is a central and vertical depression which marks its spine and shoulders The position of the longitudinal section of the right arm indicates that the arms are stretched out pelvic area has an angle that is less than 180º between the waist and the beginning of the lower limbs what makes think that the figurine was in a sitting down position or with the legs bended It is unknown how the legs end but probably they do in flat feet as it happens in a great number of figurines found from France to Near East We hope that next excavation works document other fragments of the figurine to better understand the whole artefact All the know factors show that the figurine has a great symbolic and spiritual value literature about this kind of images considers them to be images with divine attributes all its characteristics points towards what Researchers took into account this magical religious component and the fact that traditionally Begues inhabitants have always received the nickname Els Encantats in order to name the figurine as el Encantat de Begues Can Sadurní excavations belong to the project “La prehistòria al sud-est del Llobregat coordinated by the professor at the UB Department of Prehistory and the prehistorian and archaeologist Manuel Edo led by the researchers Manuel Edo and Ferran Antolín the Culture Department at the Government of Catalonia and the Centre dʼEstudis Beguetans as well as by other organizations and local enterprises where the cave and Can Sadurní masia are located Louis and Pauline Begue of Louisville celebrated their  60th  anniversary on July 23 A party was hosted by their family on  July 25 in  Louisville Christian Church The former  Pauline Gressinger and  her husband were married on July 23 They are the parents and in-laws of  Don and Kathy Begue of East Rochester Steve  and Kim Begue and Louann Schwan  all  of Louisville one deceased grandchild in 1995 and 7 great-grandchildren She is a homemaker and Louis retired from Monarch Rubber Company They are both members of a private campground and euchre clubs but mostly enjoy entertaining their family Get 4 Weeks of Farm and Dairy Home DeliveredSign Up for your FREE Trial owner of Jerry’s Trucking and Excavating in Louisville took Farm and Dairy to the Yoder Frey equipment auction in Kissimmee of Father and Son Landscaping in Louisville and website in this browser for the next time I comment Barcelona) have discovered four human skeletons dated at about 6,400 years ago which were buried following an unknown ritual in the Iberian Peninsula Few caves have necropolis dated at such an ancient period: the beginning of Middle Neolithic remains are particularly important as they are nearly complete a campaign carried out previously identified some buried bodies which were not so well preserved but belong to the same sepulchral layer and the most ancient European remains of beer consumption Excavations at Can Sadurní are carried out by Col·lectiu per la Investigació de la Prehistòria i lʼArqueologia del Garraf-Ordal (CIPAG) together with the Seminar of Studies and Prehistoric Research (SERP) of the UB Excavations carried out in 2013 have been possible thanks to a crowdfunding campaign developed by CIPAG the Centre dʼEstudis Beguetans and Begues Town Council “This support has lessen the lack of government funding” Anthropologists Concepció Castellana and Remei Bardera and zooarchaeologists Maria Saña and Vanessa Navarrete collaborated in the research too;
