She's a community organizer, editor, writer, former grade school teacher, a lifelong gardener, a singer, a beekeeper and permaculture enthusiast.

The ENR Committee voted unanimously “ought to pass” on LD 112 ” An Act to Acknowledge Potable Water as a Necessity.” They voted unanimously “ought not to pass” on LD 1358, “An Act to Further the Public Interest In All Maine Waters”, LD 413 ” An Act to Ensure the Rights of Citizens to Groundwater in the State” and LD 197 “An Act to Convene a Working Group to Authorize a Public Trust for Maine’s Groundwater”. The Committee voted to move LD 1474 “An Act to Ensure Water Equity and Accountability for the People of the State”, sponsored by Rep. Hickman legislature.maine.gov/bills/getPDF.asp?paper=HP1076&item=1&snum=129, to the Legislative Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee. The work session is not yet scheduled. c) Tomorrow, April 26th, at 10 am the Environment and Natural Resources Committee will hold a work session on LD 401, An Act To Preserve State Landfill Capacity and Promote Recycling,” would request the accurate tracking and record keeping of waste from its generation to final disposal point, including as landfill leachate discharged into Maine waterways, including Juniper Ridge Landfill leachate deposited into the Penobscot River. It would walk back a 2011 state statute that allows out of state waste to be re-classified as in-state waste. It would also walk back the ability for the state to meet recycling goals by counting construction and demolition debris used as landfill covering and waste biosolids used as agricultural fertilizer. It would strengthen protections for the health of those living in close proximity to waste disposal facilities, including the Penobscot Nation.

Bobby Eisenhart made the transition from the Army in 2011 and is now enjoying a career in manufacturing as an Engineering Manager with Nestle Waters North America.  Bobby spent the first five years of his business career with Unilever in a variety of manufacturing roles before transitioning to Nestle last year.  Since joining Nestle, he has earned two promotions.  Bobby attributes much of his success to three ways he benefited from the Cameron-Brooks program. Through prescribed self-analysis exercises, he learned his strengths, weaknesses, and top accomplishments and how they related to business. The opportunity to interview with numerous companies and positions at a Conference allowed him to explore multiple career paths.  He thought he would go into a sales position post military, since that is his dad's and brother's career field, but he ended up finding his best fit with Manufacturing. He learned the importance of continuous self-development and reading, both of which allowed him to take on an Engineering role despite not having an Engineering degree. Additionally, Bobby and I talked about: The most recent books he's read: Switch: How to Change things When Change is Hard by Chip and Dan Heath and Just Listen: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone by Mark Goulston M.D. and Keith Ferrazzi. Misconceptions about the Manufacturing career field and the strategic nature of a Manufacturing Team Leader role and their main responsibilities. The best advice he ever received came from his mom. Enjoy. Joel Junker
