Who Remembers The Calendar Dish Towels?

Is there anybody else old enough to remember these calendar dish towels? We had a few and my grandma had them too. I remember them being in mail order catalogs or sold as class fund raisers . I can still remember them on the shelves of Woolworths or Kresges, Newberrys, all those old time stores. Oh to go back to a simpler way of life. Take me back.......

I guess they still make some but I don't think they are as popular as they were back in the day.

Re: Proposed Rule Making: Part 380 Radiation Program
The State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process as it pertains to the proposed amendments to Part 380 does not meet the intent of SEQRA and the DEC Negative Declaration of Significant impact is indefensible.

Ms Hinkel:

The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, as lead agency, is required by SEQRA to assess the potential environmental impacts of the proposed changes to Part 380 regulation and make a defensible declaration as to the need for further environmental review and or development of a full Environmental Impact Statement pertaining to the proposed changes.

In reviewing the documentation of the process leading up to the Negative Determination of Significance, it is apparent that DEC is has failed to make determinations based on facts.
The most obvious example of this is the dismissal of Radon 222 and its progeny from consideration as a pollutant requiring regulation. This occurs in numerous locations throughout Part 380, for example in subparts at: Part 380-5.1 (b) on page 28 of 47, Part 380-1.2 (e) (f) and (i(3) on page 5 of 47. DEC seems determined to eliminate from regulation under 380 forms of radiation which have substantial adverse impacts on public health and the environment. Exposure to Radon and its progeny of Polonium210 and Lead210 are the number two cause of lung cancer in the nation among smokers and number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. The arbitrary exemption and exclusion of Radon 222 from regulation is unconscionable, indefensible, and negates the Determination of Non-Significant Impact declared by DEC. The proposed amendments to Part 380 have public health and environmental consequences that require a full Environmental Impact Statement.

How many more people will have to die from lung cancer before DEC meets their responsibility to protect us from all forms of radioactive releases?
