Changing regulations and the prospect of fewer federal dollars mean
wastewater treatment and solid waste management are critical concerns
for today’s city planners, commercial developers, elected officials and
facilities operators nationwide. That’s why the University of Idaho’s
President’s Sustainability Symposium is focusing on “Community
Stewardship For Economic Benefits: Wastewater Treatment and Waste
Management” on March 19-20.
Registration is now open for the two-day event, for which the University
of Idaho is partnering with North Idaho College in Coeur d’Alene and
the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls to host the symposium on
their campuses.
“Our goal is for people to leave the conference with new ideas and names
of people to call for more information,” said Priscilla Salant, event
organizer and director of the University of Idaho’s Office of Community
Partnerships. “We want to connect communities with the resources that
will help them make informed decisions.”
The symposium will be offered both in Coeur d’Alene and Twin Falls,
which will be connected by video-conference. Participants can attend at
either location, which allows for high quality presentations and
networking opportunities for people across the state.
The main portion of the conference will occur on Wednesday, March 20 and
is designed for local and state decision makers responsible for
managing infrastructure and services. Attendees will explore upcoming
wastewater treatment and solid-waste management trends, high- and
low-tech solutions and financing options.
The program includes speakers from public agencies, private engineering
firms, communities and universities. They will review the changing
environment for solid waste management and wastewater treatment,
evaluate alternative funding strategies, describe new technologies, and
showcase community innovations.
Presenters will include Sid Fredrickson, wastewater superintendent from
Coeur d’Alene, Rachele Klein, business development manager at Republic
Services, David Eberle, BSU Environmental Finance Center, and
representatives from USDA Rural Development and the Idaho Departments of
Commerce and Environmental Quality, among others.
A lunchtime panel will focus on workforce issues. Todd Schwarz, state
administrator at Idaho Division of Professional-Technical Education,
will moderate a discussion with University of Idaho President M. Duane
Nellis, North Idaho College President Joe Dunlap and College of Southern
Idaho Vice President Jeff Fox.
In addition to the March 20 event, the symposium includes a half-day
program, “Careers That Make a Difference,” for college students on
Tuesday, March 19. Students from throughout Idaho will learn about
community sustainability from a public works director and a private
business development specialist.
They will also learn about public and private sector job opportunities,
options to continue their education and internships. Career services
staff from the two colleges will share the what, why, and how of
networking, and offer students an opportunity to mingle with
professionals from private firms, nonprofits and government agencies.
Free lunch and assorted snacks will be provided throughout the event.
The event is free for students from any university or community college
and $75 for all other attendees. Online registration is required by
Friday, March 8 at www.uidaho.edu/sustainabilitysymposium.
Both days will include high-energy, fast-paced presentations using the
popular Ignite format (5 minutes, 20 slides). Presenters will showcase
innovations from across Idaho.
As a signature University of Idaho event, the President’s Sustainability
Symposium addresses critical issues related to Idaho’s economy and
environment. This is the fifth symposium and the first to focus on
municipal and county infrastructure and services. Previous events have
explored sustainability issues such as energy, climate, health and green
building.
“Community Stewardship for Economic Benefits” is sponsored by the
University of Idaho’s Office of Community Partnerships, Sustainability
Center, College of Engineering, Environmental Science and the Water
Resources Program. Additional sponsors include the Idaho National
Laboratory and Idaho Rural Partnership. For a complete program schedule

Yung Verb: Perseverance is everything . Success is the only option.
Verb was introduced to his love at just 4 years old. Verb was obsessed with his microphone and tape deck given to him as a gift by his parents, according to his Facebook profile. Verb grew up facing struggles and hardships that are synonymous to many rap artists. Verb found amity in his music. He was able to release all the strain he was constantly enduring with his music. Locked down by the endless pressure of hustling, Verb found his freedom in his music. He maintained strong influences such as his father, Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali, mostly because of their character. Verb focused on his art and worked hard to block out the negativity he was surrounded by. He kept faith in God and ignored the naysayers that worked so hard to keep him down.
Verb lives up to his name perfectly. He is known for making moves and it is evident by the production of his grind. Verb has never waited for handouts he is a deep believer in going out and getting what belongs to you. Verb has become a well-known name and has secured a loyal and impressive fan base in the Northwest. Verb's passion for life is felt in his music. He measures his success by the mountains that he conquers on this rough journey called life. Those times when the world is sitting on his shoulders Verb knows that giving in is not a choice. Perseverance is everything to the artist and success is the only option.
Verb's sound is unique in its versatility and deep tones. His music is influential and motivating to those who experience the struggles of street life. Verb has produced six mixtapes and has pressed one CD of his own. Verb has pushed approximately 25,000 in CD sales. He has successfully hosted and headlined events such as the MVP Mansion Party, Summer Nights, Local Nights and The Pulse. Verb's talent has allowed him to share the stage with successful mainstream artists such as Mike Jones, Lil Flip, Tech N9ne, Too Short, Sugar Free, GZA, The Game, Andre Nikatina, Nappy Roots, Coolio, Living Legends, Zion I, Slug, Yuk Mouth, Keak tha Sneak, Play n Skills, Glasses Malone, Turf Talk and Play Boi Trey. The experience this artist has obtained is remarkable.
Verb is undoubtedly one of most recognized independent artists in his area. His ambition and focus will be a long lasting legacy. Verb is known for his signature salute, an acknowledgement of the struggle and his mutual respect for other artists and fellow hustlers. Verb has developed strong business relationships and has developed not only as an artist but as a professional as well. He has come at the game differently compared to other artists. His focus isn't on competition but on cooperation. The accomplishments acquired at such a young age are reflective of this artists ambitious character.
