Chesapeake Bay Program - Chesapeake Bay News: New wastewater treatment technologies create clean water in Chesapeake Bay - Chesapeake Bay Program:

Upgrading wastewater treatment technologies has lowered pollution in the Potomac, Patuxent and Back rivers, leading researchers to celebrate the Clean Water Act and recommend continued investments in the sewage sector.
Introduced in 1972, the Clean Water Act’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit program regulates point sources of pollutants, or those that can be pinpointed to a specific location. Because wastewater treatment plants are a point source that can send nutrient-rich effluent into rivers and streams, this program has fueled advancements in wastewater treatment technologies. Biological nutrient removal, for instance, uses microorganisms to remove excess nutrients from wastewater, while the newer enhanced nutrient removal improves upon this process.
Researchers with the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) have linked these wastewater treatment technologies to a cleaner environment. In a report released last month, five case studies show that wastewater treatment plant upgrades in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia improved water quality in three Chesapeake Bay tributaries...

Off Track Art will host an opening reception for Sherrill Cooper on Friday, May 2, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. http://tinyurl.com/otuwfez
Sherrill Cooper is the featured artist at Off Track Art for
May and June 2014
Off Track Art, an artists’ cooperative in downtown
Westminster, will host an opening reception for Sherrill Cooper on Friday, May
2, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Ms. Cooper is the featured artist at Off Track Art
for May and June 2014.
Sherrill has an extensive body of work that reflect her love
of the figure.
"I love people watching,” says Ms. Cooper. “The way they sit, stand, their overall
posture and attitude fascinates me. I am drawn to the figure absorbed in
contemplation—capturing their inner sense of isolation. I seek to communicate
their emotions at that particular time. I want the viewer to feel what the subject
is feeling…
According to her artist’s statement and brief biographical
sketch, “Sherrill Cooper's studio feels
like a tree house. It overlooks a lush, dense oak forest in Finksburg, MD.
In this setting
Sherrill has found a way to merge her two passions: illustration and painting
in oil.
She has enjoyed a successful
30 year career as an illustrator. Now
that she has raised two children, she finds more time to paint.
Illustration has taught
her composition, color, creativity, expression, and most of all draftsmanship.
These disciplines
serve her well when she applies paint to canvas. She seeks to distill all of her experiences
in to each painting with fresh concepts, strong design sensibilities, emotional
brushstrokes, and rich and textural color.
The figure interests
Sherrill most. Particularly those
moments of contemplation when people are caught-up in their thoughts and
emotions.
Attitude, body
language and posture are what she seeks to communicate with the viewer.
Choosing the correct
value is essential. Putting it down only
once, with the appropriate brush and stroke. These are choices that I make very
carefully. If I get them right, the painting, like the person moves and
breathes. - Sherrill Cooper

2009 and had its grand opening on Feb. 13th, 2009.
