January 9, 2015 - International League (IL) Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders Moosic, Pa. - A slew of familiar faces and two noteworthy additions will make up the 2015 field staff for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees). Manager Dave Miley, pitching coach Scott Aldred, athletic trainer Darren London and strength & conditioning coach Lee Tressel will again mentor, mend and develop the players that call NEPA their summer home. The additions come from within the organization with hitting coach Marcus Thames and defensive coach Justin Tordi.

Miley, who was named Manager of the Year for all of minor league baseball in 2012 by Baseball America, enters his ninth season as the skipper in SWB and 10th with the Bombers' Triple-A unit. The 2014 inductee into the IL Hall of Fame also called the shots during the Yankees' final campaign in Columbus (2006). This marks year six with the squad for Aldred, who pitched in the bigs for nine seasons. London, the International League's Athletic Trainer of the Year in 2006 and 2012, has spent more than two decades as the Yankees' Triple-A athletic trainer with this season marking his 23rd at the level and 27th in a row with the organization. Tressel enters his 12th year in pinstripes and his seventh with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Thames, 37, was a 30th-round pick by the Yankees in 1996 before spending a decade in the big leagues with the Yankees (2002, 2010), Texas Rangers (2003), Detroit Tigers (2004-09) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2011). The corner outfielder belted the first of his 115 homers in his first MLB at-bat against 2015 Hall-of-Fame inductee Randy Johnson. Thames assembled a career line of .246/.309/.485/.794. He still owns Detroit's franchise record for best at-bat/HR ratio on a career at 14.8. He spent the 2014 season as the hitting coach with Double-A Trenton and served in the same role with Advanced-A Tampa in 2013. He played 314 games in the International League including a four-game SWB stint in 2010.

Tordi, 30, was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the 41st round of the 2005 draft out of the University of Florida. He spent last season as a first-base/bench coach with Low-A Charleston. The Rochester Hills, Mich. native played first, second, third, short, caught and pitched over his four seasons in the minors with the Reds. He reached Double-A both in 2008 and 2009 with Chattanooga and Carolina respectively. He earned second-team All-SEC honors in 2005 for the national runner-up Florida Gators as the team's shortstop.

The RailRiders open their 2015 season at home on April 9 against the Syracuse Chiefs (Washington Nationals). For more information please call (570) 969-BALL (2255) or visit swbrailriders.com.

ESCANABA - With County Administrator Nora Viau's retirement tentatively scheduled for this spring, qualifications for her successor were discussed in a committee of the whole meeting at the Delta County Service Center Thursday.

No official decisions were made at Thursday's meeting, which was held primarily to give committee members a chance to discuss the process of hiring a new administrator.

"I want to keep it very informal," Board Chair Mary Harrington said.

The qualifications for Viau's successor will be based on those used for her appointment, which were last updated in 2009.

These will likely include a master's degree in business or public administration (or a closely-related field with specialization in accounting and/or management) and three to five years of relevant experience, preferably with a governmental entity.

The possibility of forming a committee to oversee the process of reviewing applicants' resumes was also discussed during Thursday's meeting.

Harrington said she and Viau will complete the first draft of an advertisement next week, which will be used to solicit applicants for the position.

"Here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to get with Nora, we're going to write an ad, (and) I'm going to get the ad back to you," Harrington said.

Once the advertisement has been completed and approved by the members of the Delta County Board of Commissioners, it will be posted with Michigan Works!, the Michigan Association of Counties, and the Daily Press.

A job description for the county administrator position will be finalized in a later meeting.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - When the temperatures drop, one bill that usually rises is the heating bill.

Now, a new program by Consumers Energy is helping some homeowners keep those bills in check.

The Helping Neighbors program will send an energy expert to the home of a qualified resident and will search from the basement to the attic for ways to help homeowners save money.

They'll check the heating and cooling systems, water spigots, and make suggestions.

Year In Review: Leadwood closes out 2014 on high note

Belleville, New Jersey (PRWEB) January 08, 2015

GREENCROWN Energy recently announced its acceptance as a member of the Building Owners & Managers Association of Greater New York (BOMA/NY), part of the BOMA Middle Atlantic conference and the BOMA international Federation.

GREENCROWN Energy is a leading full-service energy advisory firm specializing in energy supply cost-reduction and turnkey energy conservation measures including cogeneration systems.

BOMA/NY is responsible for the ownership and management of approximately four billion square feet of office space, including some of the world's most prestigious properties. With a membership of more than 750 companies, BOMA/NY represents building owners, property management firms, and providers of professional services such as architects, engineers, and systems consultants. In addition, its numerous contract services include construction, elevator maintenance, and cleaning.

Energy is one of the largest expenses facing building owners and managers today, so helping BOMA/NY members keep costs down through a myriad of incentives, as well as new energy breakthroughs and programs, is our number one priority, said Paul Errigo, Director of Business Development at GREENCROWN Energy.

One reason we are very excited to be a member of BOMA/NY is that many of our existing clients are also members, he added. Were confident we can bring measurable value to all BOMA members by educating them about emerging energy technologies and available cutting-edge conservation measures.

According to Ami Shah, BOMA/NY Director of Membership, the inclusion of GREENCROWN Energy will be a valuable resource for BOMAs members: Were looking forward to its active participation and the contributions it can make on energy-related matters.

Noted Errigo: Were looking forward to opening new doors for BOMAs members in terms of energy breakthroughs, which can include everything from lighting to HVAC systems to EC Motors to water conservation and much more. For example, cogeneration is both affordable and dependable, and can reduce costs by 40 to 65 percent while providing standby power. We also are experts in negotiating and securing the most attractive long-term electricity and gas contracts in the industry.

Errigo said that GREENCROWN is extremely proud to belong to an organization that represents the largest industry in New York: commercial real estate.

Not only does this industry generate over $1.5 billion in annual tax revenue, it contributes either directly or indirectly to more than 228,000 jobs, he said. We think its our obligation and civic duty to do everything we can to help ease the energy burden for New York building owners and managers.

An environmental consulting firm hired to oversee asbestos abatements at Kilgore College said Wednesday that almost all of its projects at the college have been completed.

There is some work at the Rangerette Gym that should be completed this weekend, ERI Consulting Inc. President Larry Snodgrass said. All of the work at Dodson Auditorium has been completed.

ERI Consulting began an inspection of the colleges buildings following allegations of asbestos exposure from Physical Plant Coordinator Dalton Smith in November. Smith alleged several areas on campus had asbestos exposure and named other areas where asbestos and other hazardous materials had been mishandled.

The firm said in December that hazard assessments and air quality tests showed the colleges buildings are safe, but future asbestos abatements and repair work were needed.

Snodgrass said the work, which was done over Christmas break, was performed by Air Quality Associates of Tyler.

We did have one more project that we recommended at the colleges library, Snodgrass said. I cant speak for the college to say if they are going to do the project or not. We recommended some small projects in the mechanical rooms of the library.

He said his firm recommended work in the Randolph C. Watson Library be completed within the next 12 months. If the college agrees, he said, work could begin in the summer.

As far as the abatements/renovations over the holidays, everything has been completed that was recommended by ERI to be completed within 30-90 days, college spokesman Chris Craddock said. The only thing left is to remove a pipe underneath the Rangerette Gymnasium floor.

The abatement projects are costing the college about $32,000 including ERIs fee, Snodgrass said.

The main work done was in Dodson Auditorium on the HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) duct, he said. There is the old cork insulation with a black mastic that holds the cork together. Its non-friable but we removed the materials with the highest potential to be disturbed.
