TRAVEL... Loss of Transportation Funding
(StatePoint) From private and public sector job losses to deterioration of infrastructure, local communities and their economies stand to lose significantly if federal funding for public transportation is eliminated, according to a new analysis developed by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA). Experts say many suburban and rural communities could be particularly hard hit.
Congress is considering changes that could cut funds for local improvements in communities nationwide. There are two proposals in Congress that eliminate public transit funding from the Highway Trust Fund. And the analysis from APTA shows that both scenarios would result, on average, in a 43 percent reduction in a community’s capital improvement funding and would put at risk more than $227 billion in economic activity over six years. According to the report, the loss of federal funds would impact the reliability and safety of bus and train service, as well as jeopardize new services and projects. Specifically: • 38,000 buses or 57 percent of the nation’s public transit bus fleet would not be replaced. • Overall, 66 new public transit projects could be stalled. Many of these projects serve as a catalyst for economic development in every region of the country. • Rail maintenance, expansion and rail car replacement would be significantly impacted. • Small and rural communities would be adversely affected because a greater percentage of their total funding is from the federal government. At a time where public transit ridership is growing, many experts say eliminating federal funding for transportation would be disastrous to communities both big and small, rural and urban. In fact, some states with the highest proportions of rural residents will see the greatest percentage of their total funding eliminated for their local public transportation systems. To spur Congress to take action, more than 360 organizations, community groups, elected officials, business leaders and citizens in nearly every state throughout the U.S. recently participated in “Stand Up For Transportation Day” to highlight the urgent need for Congress to invest long term in our transportation infrastructure and renew funding for the federal transportation program. The current funding program, called Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (also known as MAP-21), is set to expire on May 31. To read the analysis and see the local impacts of the loss of federal funding, go to www.apta.com . To get involved, visit www.standup4transportation.org. “It is time to stand up for our transportation infrastructure,” says Michael Melaniphy, APTA President and CEO. “Congress must act now to continue to fund public transportation and to pass comprehensive, long-term federal legislation that provides for repairing, maintaining, and expanding public transportation, roads, bridges, and rail systems.” Woman Wants Pregnancy w/own Grandchild
LONDON, May 8 (UPI) -- A U.S. woman is waging a court battle to gain custody of her late daughter's eggs from Britain so she can become pregnant with her own grandchild.
The 59-year-old woman, identified only as Mrs. M, is asking Justice Duncan Ouseley to overturn a 2014 ruling from the British Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority's statutory approvals committee, which last year refused to allow the woman to have her daughter's eggs taken out of storage. Mrs. M's daughter had her eggs frozen at IVF Hammersmith in London after being diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2008, but the HFEA said she did not fill out a documentdetailing her wishes for the eggs prior to her death in 2011. The High Court heard the mother is seeking to have the eggs shipped to New York, where a fertility clinic has agreed to help her have the eggs fertilized by a sperm donor and implanted in her womb. The court heard Mrs. M and her husband requested anonymity to protect the privacy of "an as yet unborn child." The couple said their daughter would be "devastated" to learn her eggs could not be used. "I have never heard of a surrogacy case involving a mother and her dead daughter's eggs," said fertility expert Dr. Mohammed Taranissi of the ARGC clinic in London. "It's fair to say that this may be a world first." Bangor Park Summer Youth Basketball Registration is currently open for the Bangor Park Youth Basketball Summer League.

Ask The Doc........
Let's Talk Adjectives
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
garywilliamsdmd.com Invisible, comfortable, corrective, clear, precise, inexpensive, beautifying, and empowering. I bet you rarely think of those adjectives, and dentistry in the same sentence. However, that is exactly what you get with one of dentistry’s latest tools. I’m talking about Invisalign, clear aligner therapy to place your teeth in the proper position for a life –time of good oral health. This comfortable way to align teeth is proving to be very successful, and at Family Dental Care, Dr. Gary Williams, and staff are seeing such good results, that we think it deserves special attention. We are reserving 10 spots, on April 23rd, for those interested in improving their oral health. I believe so much in this treatment, that on that day, I will “pitch-in” and pay for some of your treatment. Together, you and I can give you the smile that you have always wanted. Call soon, appointment spots are limited. (610)863-8988. Slate Belt Senior Center
