Operators in the Bridge and Structure Painting Contractors industry primarily prepare and complete the painting of bridges, overpasses, trestles and other steel structures. Projects undertaken by industry operators are mainly for public structures, making demand for industry services highly dependent on government funding. This funding originates at the local and state government level and is aided by the backing of the federal government, according to IBISWorld Industry Analyst Edward Rivera. Over the five years to 2014, the economic recession forced many regional governments to cut their highway and structure funding in an effort to balance their budgets. As a result, over the five-year period, industry revenue is expected to decline at an average annual rate of 2.6% to $590.6 million in 2014. With little changes in budgetary constraints, stagnation is expected to continue in 2014, with revenue declining 0.1%.
Over the past five years, government revenue fell, as rising unemployment resulted in less tax revenue. Further, social safety nets were put in place during this time to help the elderly and those displaced by the loss of employment. Collectively, this contributed to the growing discrepancy between government revenue inflow and expenditures, says Rivera. Although the federal government can operate at a deficit, local and state governments are required to balance their budgets at the end of the fiscal year. As a result, many local and state governments decreased their investments in infrastructure. Because the government accounts for the vast majority of industry revenue, the lack of public funding led to declines across the industry over the five years to 2014.
In the next five years, industry revenue is expected to grow as the budgetary constraints of the government at the local, state and federal levels are alleviated. In addition, a forecast increase in the amount of miles US drivers cover, population growth and backlogged projects are expected to lead the surge in demand for industry services. One issue to follow over the next five years will be the state of the Highway Trust Fund, which is slated to fail unless some support is offered. As infrastructure has historically been overlooked in the United States, upcoming disputes about funding for public structure maintenance is likely to temper demand for industry services in the five years to 2019.

Eddie Butler has been booked in the Lucas County jail 297 times since 1987. Arrested repeatedly through the years as a drug-addicted homeless person, he has been to jail more times than any other offender in the county.
When the National Institute of Corrections released its assessment of Lucas Countys pretrial services in October, 2013, a problem population came to light: Repeat offenders like Butler who clog the jail daily.
Data from the sheriffs office showed that just 6 percent of the jails offenders a total of 996 people accounted for nearly a fifth of the bookings.
The group includes people who were brought to the jail three or more times in the year, often for nonviolent misdemeanors.
Butlers record, for example, includes countless charges of panhandling, public intoxication, drug possession, and disorderly conduct, with a few more serious offenses thrown in.
At the request of the Lucas County Sheriffs Office and Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, more than 40 representatives from jails, prisons, courts, and a variety of community agencies met at the end of March to map out the gaps in assistance for offenders with mental illness and co-occurring disorders, such as substance abuse.
Projects targeted at repeat offenders through intensive case management and prescription medication provisions are under way, but after only a few months, there is little data to measure progress.
These folks are cycling in and out of the courts so fast, nobody can catch up to them, said Scott Sylak, director of the mental health board.

Two men were arrested for allegedly stealing landscape equipment from maintenance crews, Roseville police said Saturday.
Shafeeq Jamal Purdy, 32, and Christopher Darnell Ross, 20, were taken into custody in connection with the thefts Friday, officials said.
Roseville police were looking into a recent increase in thefts from landscape maintenance crews and were on a stakeout just before 11 a.m. on Friday on Park Regency Drive.
Officers said they saw a vehicle cruising slowly through the neighborhood and watched two people get out of the vehicle and take tools from a landscaper's trailer.
The officers stopped the vehicle and detained the driver on Junction Boulevard, but the passenger got out of the vehicle and ran away. He apparently jumped over a retaining wall and through yards in the neighborhood before officers found him in a yard on the 1800 block of Grouse Run Circle, police said.
The stolen property was recovered and returned to the victim.
According to police, Purdy and Ross were arrested on suspicion of grand theft, conspiracy and possession of burglar's tools. Purdy also faces charges ofdelaying or obstructing police officers.

As I look at many lawn and landscape problems in the summer, it occurs to me that many of these are the result of poor plant selection and poor planting techniques. Although now is not a great time to be planting, it is a great time to review the proper steps to avoid plant stress and later problems.
To plant right it is important to know the conditions in your yard and how you use that information. Identify the areas with sun and shade. Take soil tests to determine soil pH.
Test soil drainage by digging a hole 18 to 24 inches deep. Fill the hole with water and let it sit overnight. Refill hole to within a few inches of the top. Use a ruler or measuring stick to determine the drainage over time. If soil drains less than one-half inch per hour it is poorly drained. Choose plants tolerant of wet conditions. If the water drops between one-half inch and 1 inch per hour, the soil is moderately drained and most plants including some tolerant of wet conditions will do well. If the water drops more than 1 inch per hour drainage is great and most plants can be used except for those suited for wet conditions.
If you have an existing landscape, determine if there are problems with any plants. Take a look at the lawn. This is usually the highest maintenance area of a landscape. Determine how much lawn you really need. Locate areas for privacy, play and work.
Next choose the right plants for the right place. Grasses grow best in full sun. Choose drought-tolerant plants if soils are moderately to well drained. Think about how plants will look once they grow to mature size not how they look when planted and give them the appropriate space.
Avoid plants that have problems if you are looking for a successful long-lived landscape. Bradford pears may split in 10 to 15 years due to their growth habit. Japanese hollies and boxwoods dont do well in poorly drained soil. Red maples planted as lawn trees in well-drained soils decline when attacked by gloomy scales. Leyland cypress is easily destroyed by bagworms. Azaleas are damaged by lace bugs. This list can go on and on.
When planting make sure to give plants a good start. Planting in groupings works well. Prepare the soil by tilling. Add 2 to 4 inches of compost, then till again. If trees are not in groupings or planting beds, do not mix anything with the soil on the site. What comes out of the hole goes back in. Do not plant deep. Dig holes no deeper than the root ball and at least three times the width in unprepared soil. In fact, it is better to plant shrubs with 1 to 2 inches of the root ball above ground and trees with 2 to 4 inches of the root ball above ground. Pull soil up to the edge to cover the sides but not the top of the root ball. Make sure to loosen roots of container-grown plants or score the root ball with a knife to promote root branching. If plants come with burlap and wire basket, remove as much of both as possible after they are in the hole and steady.
Mulch correctly after planting. Two to 4 inches of organic mulch is a good thing around trees and shrubs. Pull it up to the edge of the root ball. Less is needed around perennials and annuals. Do not pile mulch against the trunks of any plant. As trees grow, widen the mulched area underneath them to ensure good growth and prevent tree/grass problems.
If you have questions about your garden, lawn or landscape, give the Pitt County Extension Master Gardener Volunteers a call at 902-1705 or email pittcomgv@hotmail.com.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. Our county's striking gems, the Lake County diamonds, however unique, are not true diamonds but semi-precious stones.
Lake County diamonds have a rating of 7.8 to 8 on the Moh's Scale of Hardness. Real diamonds rate a 10 on the scale.
Our diamonds are really a type of quartz, comprised of silicon dioxide, and some other trace elements.
Geologists state that quartz, a common mineral which occurs in nature, grows at its own particular rate.
This quartz-growth occurs according to the temperatures in the earth.
Our quartz specimens in Lake County, known as Lake County diamonds, formed in very specific, high temperatures, in lava flows which are thought to have reached about 1,112 degrees Fahrenheit.
The distinctive way in which our Lake County jewels formed make them one-of-a-kind, to be found only in Lake County.
Clear Lake's sentinel, the 4,305 foot Mount Konocti actually a dormant volcano was once a teeming, erupting and violent volcano.
The portion of Mount Konocti that we now see is thought to be what is left of 350,000 year-old or older pyroclastic flows.
During this time of very high temperatures our particular quartz specimens formed luxurious, lustrous crystals. (It's all in the location, location, location!)

Paint your walls a bold color and friends will likely praise your creativity. Invest in a standout piece of furniture or striking work of art and your decorating is bound to earn compliments. But creating a noteworthy room with subtle, understated elegance is a bit more complicated.
Understated style rides the fine line between too sparse and too cold, says designer Brian Patrick Flynn, creator of the FlynnsideOut design blog. A lack of objects makes a room feel unfinished, and a lack of color can also read of lifeless.
