Porti & ambiente — le notizie raccolte

ANCONA – Denise si laurea domani. Intorno a lei si prepara la festa, lei si chiude nei ricordi dell'infanzia e tiene per sé una bugia portata avanti per anni, quella degli esami mai sostenuti. È la storia di "L'ultimo giorno di felicità", cortometraggio scritto e diretto da Giovanni B. Algieri con Margherita Mazzucco, la Lenù de "L'amica geniale", Filippo Librando e Silvia Siravo che chiude la giornata che l'Università politecnica delle Marche apre alla città giovedì 17 settembre, nell'Aula Magna di Agraria in via Brecce Bianche 10, dalle 16 alle 20 e a ingresso libero. Presente in sala per la discussione, dopo la proiezione del corto, è lo stesso scrittore e regista autore di cortometraggi premiati in Italia e all'estero, da "Schabernack" a "Abiura" e "Giotto". "L'ultimo giorno di felicità" ha raccolto oltre venticinque selezioni ufficiali tra festival italiani ed europei, è stato proiettato al Tcl Chinese Theatre di Hollywood nell'ambito del Los Angeles Italia Film, Fashion and Art Festival ed è arrivato in finale al Globo d'oro 2026 come miglior cortometraggio. La bugia di Denise, nella realtà, è una situazione nota in molte università. Fra le ragioni per cui gli studenti dell'ateneo si rivolgono allo sportello d'ascolto, quasi la metà riguarda difficoltà legate al percorso di studi e, fra queste, ricorrono il blocco negli studi, la procrastinazione e la menzogna accademica. Intorno c'è un fenomeno di scala internazionale: nel mondo il 39% degli studenti universitari riferisce ansia o depressione, in Europa il 35% segnala sintomi di burnout accademico, l'esaurimento da carico di studio, in Italia il 28% ha attraversato episodi di ansia grave e il 15% ha chiesto un supporto psicologico. I momenti più difficili sono il primo e l'ultimo anno di corso, cioè l'ingresso e la laurea: esattamente il giorno in cui è ambientato il film. Su questo l'UnivpM lavora da due anni con Memo, Mente in Movimento, 2.0 Connessioni Vitali, progetto Pro-Ben finanziato dal Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca e condiviso da una rete di atenei e conservatori del centro Italia. Dopo due anni di indagine sulla condizione degli studenti e di sperimentazione di soluzioni, oggi Memo mette a disposizione di studentesse e studenti, gratuitamente, percorsi di sostegno psicologico di gruppo per la gestione dello stress e delle emozioni, attività fisica guidata e una piattaforma di potenziamento dell'apprendimento. Il 17 settembre l'ateneo apre il terzo anno di attività portando quel lavoro fuori dalle aule, in una giornata pensata come dialogo fra l'università e la città: si parla di come aumentare il benessere dei giovani, di come favorire l'apprendimento e di come rafforzare la rete fra università, scuole, istituzioni, professionisti e territorio. La direzione scientifica è di Marianna Capecci, referente di Ateneo per l'Area Inclusione e Benessere Psicologico e di Maria Serena Chiucchi, delegata del Rettore per la Comunità Universitaria e Valori Condivisi. Il 17 settembre si inizia alle 16 con i saluti di benvenuto. Alle 16,30 il neuroscienziato Giovanni Buccino, professore ordinario alla Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia dell’Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele di Milano, spiega come il cervello impara nell’intervento dal titolo “Osservare, immaginare, rievocare: strategie cognitive nell’apprendimento motorio”. I suoi studi riguardano i neuroni specchio, le cellule che si attivano sia quando compiamo un gesto sia quando lo vediamo fare a qualcun altro e il modo in cui parole e concetti restano ancorati all’esperienza del corpo che li ha attraversati. Da qui l’indicazione che si apprende in modo più solido quando si fa e si osserva, oltre che quando si ascolta soltanto. Alle 17,15 salgono sul palco quattro giovani sportivi. Valentina Natalucci è velocista, chinesiologa e collaboratrice di ricerca all’UnivpM sull’attività fisica come strumento di salute, ed è arrivata seconda nei 400 metri della sua categoria agli Europei master del 2025. Giorgio Olivieri, lancio del martello, si è laureato in Ingegneria gestionale con 110 e lode e il giorno dopo era sul podio delle Universiadi in Germania, ed è campione italiano assoluto della sua specialità. Tommaso Brugnami, oggi al secondo anno di Ingegneria elettronica, è ginnasta pluripremiato, campione europeo nel 2024, campione del mondo juniores nel 2023 e argento con la squadra italiana ai Giochi del Mediterraneo di quest’anno. Elisa Al Halwani è atleta di taekwondo e studentessa di Medicina e chirurgia alla Politecnica delle Marche; pluripremiata in competizioni nazionali e internazionali, ai Campionati nazionali universitari 2026 ha vinto l'argento nel taekwondo per l’UnivpM e il Cus Ancona. Coordinati dal giornalista Andrea Alfieri Padiglioni, spiegano come si tiene insieme una vita divisa fra allenamenti e sessioni d’esame, e che cosa succede quando il risultato non arriva. Alle 17,45 interviene in collegamento Rita Roncone, professoressa ordinaria di psichiatria all’Università degli Studi dell’Aquila e referente per il suo ateneo del progetto Memo Pro Ben; il suo contributo, dal titolo “Sopravvivere o fiorire? Il counselling universitario per un'Università One Health”, è focalizzato su come si cresce nell’università di oggi fra benessere, fragilità e costruzione dell’identità. Alle 18,15 la tavola rotonda coordinata da Maria Serena Chiucchi illustra “Le connessioni che costruiscono una Comunità”, con la presentazione dei progetti che l’ateneo ha messo in campo per aumentare benessere e inclusione: lo sport, la musica, le relazioni. Alle 19 si chiude con il cinema. Viene proiettato “L’ultimo giorno di felicità” di cui vi abbiamo già riferito.

Per non farlo vincere, serve inventare manifestazioni nuove di zecca. A 34 anni Gianmarco Tamberi cerca e ottiene il successo dove non poteva farlo prima, vincendo l’Ultimate Championship di Budapest. Lo fa con una gara che, tra le tante in crescendo della sua straordinaria carriera, ha ricordato quella della serata sublime dell'oro europeo a Roma. Arriva da outsider (2,23), si arrampica per il quarto oro europeo a 2,32. Stavolta oltre alla vittoria e il montepremi conquistato, c'è l'altro obiettivo raggiunto dall'azzurro, salire anche quest'anno più in alto di tutti al mondo. Ci riesce con il pulitissimo 2,35 al primo salto, dopo aver fatto centro con un solo tentativo a 2,33, anche se di fatto, con il 2,30 immediato non lascerà più la testa della classifica. Non contento, eguaglia la misura dell'oro di Roma 2024, vola a 2,37 al secondo tentativo, migliorando nella stessa gara due volte il primato mondiale stagionale. Secondo è l'avversario che insegue l'azzurro fin dal Mondiale del 2023 proprio a Budapest, JuVaughn Harrison, lo statunitense che fu argento a pari misura con Gimbo, 2,36, e avversario di finali di Diamond League vinte dal marchigiano delle Fiamme Oro. Tamberi entra a 2,22 e va sopra ma ride verso la telecamera suggerendo di "cancellare" quanto visto. A 2,26 sale alto e netto sopra l'asticella ed appare decisamente più soddisfatto. A 2,30 sbaglia per primo e tutti lo seguono nei primi assalti senza successo. Alla seconda prova si vola, l'asticella non è nemmeno sfiorata, il salto che lo lascerà solitario in testa alla gara, tutt'altro che finita nella sua storia. Il 2,33 alla prima prova mette il sigillo del suo primato stagionale, un centimetro in più di Birmingham. A 2,35 si sale in pulizia, due centimetri più su un errore e la firma dell'artista alla seconda prova, con l'asticella che gli è amica dopo essere stata sfiorata, non come a Bruxelles, dove è caduta negandogli il quarto Diamond Trophy. Harrison lo insegue a forza di centimetri aggiunti, a 2,39 alza bandiera bianca. Gimbo chiede, non a caso, i 2,41. Vuole la misura della notte di Montecarlo, a dieci anni di distanza. Non sale fin lassù, ma ognuno dei tre tentativi appare in crescendo tecnico anche se l'asticella cade giù. Non c'è fine allo spettacolo, se lo scrive sul braccio, "showtime babe", dedicato a sua moglie Chiara in tribuna con la piccola Camilla. «Sapevo di poter saltare molto più alto in questa stagione, di poter fare altre misure - le parole di Gianmarco Tamberi - e finalmente sono arrivate. Poi con l’asticella a 2,41 ho un po’ rivissuto la mia carriera che mi ha insegnato a non aver paura di niente. Ho dimostrato a me stesso che sono al livello dei miei migliori anni. Mi sono divertito un sacco, ho fatto gioire mia moglie, mia figlia, gli amici, tutti quelli che mi sostengono. La cosa più bella è vedere lo stadio intero che si alza in piedi per un salto, fa venire i brividi, mi dà una forza incredibile. Ora guardo ai Giochi di Los Angeles con una voglia enorme. Mondiali a Roma nel 2029? Sarebbe bellissimo, se si immagina cosa potrebbe essere in casa quello che è stato qui stasera. Sarebbe stupendo chiudere la mia carriera lì».

Associated Press NOAA This satellite image provided by NOAA shows Hurricane Lowell near Hawaii on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026. (NOAA via AP) HONOLULU– Damaging winds and heavy rains fromHurricane Lowellpelted Hawaii's western islands Tuesday, knocking out power to thousands and ripping up stretches of beachside roads. Along the Southern California coast,dangerous surf conditionskicked up by the remnants of Hurricane Marie were expected to stick around for several days. Recommended Videos In Hawaii, fierce winds downed trees and caused widespread power outages on the island of Kauai, home to 73,000 residents. The Kauai Island Utility Cooperative reported that nearly all of its roughly 35,000 members were without power early Tuesday. Emergency officials asked residents to conserve water and stay off the roads as authorities assessed the damage. Waves that crashed onto Kauai's southern coast tore apart a road along the coast and pushed piles of sand and lava rocks into a beachside park, said Rochelle Ballard, a former professional surfer who runs a surf school across from the park. It will take weeks of cleanup, she said. Her family’s surf shop and neighboring restaurant came away without damage, but she said a friend’s house was destroyed. “It's going to take awhile. I think we'll be fine,” Ballard said. “We've been through this before.” Hurricane Lowell didn't make a direct hit on Hawaii The center of the storm passed west of the islands in the overnight hours Tuesday and moved farther away throughout the day. The storm's tropical storm-force winds extended well beyond the center, the National Hurricane Center said. On Kauai, sustained winds measured just above 50 mph (80 kph) at Lihue Airport, the island's only commercial airport that was closed after the storm. Hurricane warningsfor Kauai and the tiny island of Niihau, which has less than 100 permanent residents, were no longer in place by Tuesday morning local time. A tropical storm warning was also lifted for Oahu, the state's most populated island with close to 1 million residents. But flooding and mudslides will continue to be a risk through the day, said Eric Blake, of the National Hurricane Center. Some wind gusts reached 80 mph (130 kph), according to the hurricane center. But the force of the sustained winds had decreased by early Tuesday and the storm was expected to weaken in the coming days. Storm left a mess on Kauai and Oahu There was extensive damage across Kauai, and crews were using heavy equipment to push trees and debris off the roads, said Derek Kawakami, mayor of Kauai County. About 300 people were staying in shelters on Kauai. Kauai real estate agent Lori Benkert, who lives in Lihue, said she endured a loud, windy night after her power went out Monday evening. The storm downed trees next to her house, and the community’s main road was closed because of fallen trees, she said. “We’re fine. My house did great with no boarded-up windows,” Benkert said. “But there are a lot of downed power lines.” On Oahu, road crews were clearing sand and rocks from a major route along the island's western edge after floodwaters topped a coastal highway, north of Honolulu. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green closed schools and government offices on the three islands for Tuesday ahead of the storm. Rainfall totals could reach up to 24 inches (60 centimeters) in some areas on Kauai. Oahu, Maui and the Big Island also could see large amounts of rain. Last month,Tropical Storm Lalabrushed past Hawaii and stirred up landslides, washing away about 100 homes and causing widespread power outages. Marie downgraded but still being felt in California What's left of Hurricane Marie was downgraded again and is no longer considered a tropical storm. But it was still creating dangerous surf conditions along the coast of Mexico’s Baja California and Southern California. Swells with life-threatening surf and rip current conditions will continue for the next few days, the hurricane center said. In Malibu, where big waves were pounding the shore, the driveway of a beachfront home that sits on pylons collapsed into a sinkhole Tuesday morning, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is working with leading transportation nonprofit CALSTART to roll out a $45 million incentive program to help electrify the port’s operators’ heavy truck fleets. CALSTART hopes this latest incentive push will act as a catalyst for change at the Port of New York and New Jersey, helping scale up zero-emission terminal and drayage trucks and the associated charging infrastructure from exploratory pilot programs to more mainstream choices for the busy port’s tenants. “Deploying zero-emission trucks at scale requires pairing accessible vehicle incentives with reliable, high-capacity charging,” said CALSTART Executive Vice President of Regional Market Acceleration Alycia Gilde. “By combining flexible financial support with streamlined program administration, our partnership with the Port Authority lowers the barrier to entry for drayage operators, modernizing the East Coast supply chain while delivering immediate, tangible air quality improvements to local port communities.” Dubbed the Clean Truck Incentive (CTI) Program and Green Drayage Accelerator (GDA) the $45 million funding includes $39 million in point-of-sale vouchers for the purchase of zero-emission drayage trucks, yard tractors, and supporting charging infrastructure,as well as more than $5 million to develop five new EV charging hubs within 10 miles of Port facilities. Both programs, along with a separate $3 million planning grant to fund the creation of a Port Community Advisory Council, are funded through a larger $451 million grant awarded to the Port Authority through the US EPA’s Clean Ports Program – the largest sustainability grant in Port Authority history. Port executives seem optimistic that the additional funds will make a real difference in air and water pollution in and around the Port. “The Port Authority has committed to reaching net-zero by 2050, and we can’t get there without bringing our tenants, contractors, and partners like the trucking community along with us,” explains Port Authority Executive Director Kathryn Garcia. “These new incentive programs make it financially realistic for drayage operators to switch to zero-emission trucks and yard equipment. Paired with other industry-leading programs and regulations, we’re making sure we back up our ambitious sustainability commitments with real action.” The program joins other port electrification efforts,like the ones at APM Terminals Elizabeth operationsandthe more than $200 million being spent by Yusen Terminals in Los Angeles, all aimed at keeping containers moving without the diesel mess.

Webinar Date:September 29, 2026 at 1:00pm ET / 10:00am PT Listen to this article: Southern California fleets have access to more than $500 million in clean heavy-duty truck funding through programs offered by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and others. The biggest opportunity will come from knowing which programs can be stacked, and how to plan for them together. Between now and early 2027, these agencies are running or preparing incentive programs with per-vehicle awards ranging from $100,000 – $400,000 depending on the fleet type and vehicle class. Each program has its own eligibility rules, scrappage requirements, application timelines, and restrictions, making it critical for fleets to understand how the programs fit together before committing to a funding strategy. This webinar will focus on the art of stacking funding.

Prosegue la discesa dei noli spot per il trasporto marittimo di container dall’Asia verso l’Europa, con la rotta Shanghai-Genova che nell’ultima settimana ha registrato una nuova flessione del 10%, arrivando a 4.368 dollari per la spedizione di un box da 40 piedi, e la tratta Shanghai – Rotterdam che flette invece del 5% a 4.092 dollari. Lo rileva Drewry nell’ultimo aggiornamento settimanale del suo Container Index. La dinamica conferma la pressione al ribasso osservata nelle ultime settimane sui due trade, che già nei sette giorni precedenti avevano segnato rispettivamente flessioni del 2% e del 3% sulle tariffe. Per il prossimo futuro la società di analisi si aspetta un nuovo leggero declino dei noli, per via della minor implementazione di blank sailing da parte dei carrier (da 4 si scenderà a uno solo durante la prossima settimana), nonché per l’effetto Suez, ovvero il ritorno delle portacontainer per la tradizionale rotta est ovest, che secondo Mds Intermodal ha peraltro avuto già una accelerata durante il mese di agosto. Se questa è la situazione sulla direttrice Asia – Europa, a livello globale però il World Container Index è rimasto sostanzialmente stabile, attestandosi a 4.465 dollari per container da 40 piedi, per via delle dinamiche opposte osservate sulle rotte transpacifiche, dove i noli sono tornati a crescere. In particolare sulla Shanghai-Los Angeles le tariffe medie sono aumentate del 5%, raggiungendo i 7.185 dollari per Feu, mentre sulla Shanghai-New York l’incremento è stato del 3%, a 9.587 dollari. Drewry ha rilevato sei annunci di blank sailing per la prossima settimanasui due corridoi, il doppio rispetto a quella appena conclusa. Considerando la resilienza della domanda, la società di analisi britannica prevede che i noli transpacifici rimangano sostanzialmente stabili nella prossima settimana. Le previsioni, ha aggiunto Drewry, restano comunque condizionate da diversi fattori di rischio, innanzitutto dalle perduranti tensioni in Medio Oriente, ma anche dalle perturbazioni meteorologiche che stanno affliggendo i porti asiatici (e al momento in particolare il tifone Saudel, che ha aggiunto congestione a quella già accumulata per altri recenti eventi simil)i, nonché per la siccità che sta continuando a condizionare la capacità e il numero di transiti giornalieri nel canale di Panama.

PERCAugust 27, 2026 With increasing supply, ultra-low-carbon fuel will be a ‘game changer’Propane, with its low carbon content and much lower harmful emissions than diesel and gasoline, has become a key tool for decarbonization and cleaner air around many of the United States’ more than 300 ports. From terminal tractors to up to Class 7 forklifts to generators and light- and medium-duty vehicles,propane-powered equipmentis a good fit at both seaports and inland ports. Looking ahead to an even greener future, the next step in decarbonization for these key facilitators of American economic growth is renewable propane. As progress continues on ports’ path to zero carbon emissions, developments inrenewable propaneare poised to provide a big boost. Renewable propane is molecularly identical to conventional propane, and is made from a variety of feedstocks, including camelina seed oil, vegetable oil, animal fats, and used cooking oil. It is a drop-in replacement for conventional propane, meaning customers can use renewable propane without additional infrastructure or costly new equipment. That’s why propane providers like Jeff Stewart, president of Blue Star Gas in Santa Rosa, California, are bullish about renewable propane. Blue Star Gas is located in the state with two of the largest and busiest ports in America, the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, and a state with aggressive goals for decarbonization. For Blue Star Gas’s customers, Stewart says renewable propane will be “a dramatic game changer” as supply continues to increase. Increasing capacity of renewable propaneAccording to the U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center, U.S. renewable propane production capacity is more than4.5 million gallons per year. Stewart said that number is bound to increase, and perhaps significantly. The World Liquid Gas Associationaddsthat renewable propane could meet half of the world’s propane demand by 2050. With propane distribution infrastructure already in place, it will be easy for ports of all sizes to adopt renewable propane. “It’s not difficult to get renewable propane physically to a port,” he said. “It uses the same exact infrastructure as conventional propane. The challenge at this point is really in the volume and production. But we are starting to see new producers coming into the marketplace, and as the volume grows, there will be more supply available for ports.” According to Stewart, renewable propane in the marketplace today is primarily a byproduct of the refining process for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel. While a good portion of renewable propane is generated at a refinery in Louisiana, refineries in California have recently become bio-refineries, and they aren’t using any crude-based feedstock. Stewart reports that 20 percent of Blue Star’s volume is renewable propane Autogas — a form of propane used in vehicle applications and material handling. At the port, material handling remains the primary focus. Progressing toward zero emissions with renewable propaneThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ports Initiative is an incentive-based program designed to reduce emissions by encouraging port authorities and terminal operators to retrofit and replace older diesel engines with new technologies and use cleaner fuels, such as conventional and renewable propane. Renewable propane has a carbon intensity score of between20 and 43. This compares to 80 for conventional propane and natural gas, both of which are 20% cleaner than gasoline and diesel (both 100).At 130, the average score of the U.S. electrical grid is the highest among all options. Because renewable propane offers the same reliability and power as conventional propane, it can dramatically accelerate a port’s progress toward decarbonization while still being able to run efficient operations and meet tight deadlines for tasks like offloading ships. For ports that want to step into the realm of renewable propane, which is typically blended with conventional propane, the process should be planned and calculated. That’s why Stewart said working with a propane provider with experience in renewable propane is a must. “If you want to start a trial, that trial can be supported right now,” he said. “Depending on the volume and the eventual rollout, I think it will line up with the growth of the product.” Learn more about propane’s role in the future of clean energy atpropane.com/ports.

The addition follows a recent expansion of the electric equipment at APM Terminals’ Los Angeles port. APM Terminals recently expanded a 20-truck Orange EV pilot at its Pier 400 location in Los Angeles to 60 trucks, and the expansions represent a transition from proving grounds to scaling, Orange EV said. “Together, the two deals point to a pattern playing out across the port sector: operators who spent the last several years piloting electric terminal trucks are now standardizing fleet wide,” the OEM said in its release. The moves align with Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach efforts seeking to facilitatezero-emission goals. Similarly, the Port of New York and New Jersey is committed to shifting drayage trucks and other equipment away from diesel toward zero-emission alternatives, aiming to reach net-zero carbon emissionsby 2050.

NewsNews|Aug 24, 2026 If you didn’t get a chance to download the Tahoe Tap podcast, don’t worry. We have you covered. Here’s a recap of the interview portion of the podcast. El Dorado County District 5 Supervisor Brooke Laine has spent much of her life watching Lake Tahoe change. Some of those changes, she says, have come at a cost. The freedom she remembers as a child – building forts, playing in the woods and tearing apart beaver dams – is harder for today’s children to experience. But in other respects, Laine believes Tahoe has made significant progress, particularly in environmental restoration and transportation infrastructure. During her Tahoe Tap podcast interview, Laine discussed the competing demands of her geographically diverse district, Tahoe’s relationship with El Dorado County, vacation home rentals, snow removal, utility concerns, the future of Emerald Bay and what she sees as a continuing need for stronger regional cooperation. A district with dramatically different needs District 5 stretches from Tahoma on Lake Tahoe’s West Shore to Pollock Pines on the western slope of the Sierra, encompassing 11 distinct communities. Laine said one of her first moves after becoming supervisor was creating a District 5 advisory committee with a representative from each community. The group meets quarterly, giving residents a direct opportunity to identify local problems and priorities while also learning from communities facing similar challenges. The needs of Pollock Pines and the Tahoe Basin can be “almost like night and day,” Laine said. But some concerns cross those geographic divides. Pollock Pines residents, for example, have pushed for a developed community park – the type of basic amenity that can still require millions of dollars and significant county involvement. Does Tahoe get its share of county revenue? One of the interview’s more provocative discussions centered on how much revenue the Tahoe Basin generates for El Dorado County and how much comes back to the region. Laine cautioned that the county does not clearly delineate revenue by district, making it difficult to establish a precise calculation. She said she had no evidence proving whether the basin currently receives an amount proportional to what it generates, although her suspicion is that it does not. She pointed to a financial analysis from the early 1970s, when Tahoe-area residents explored creating a separate county. According to documentation from that effort cited by Laine, the basin at the time was receiving roughly 22 to 23 cents back for every dollar it generated for El Dorado County. Laine said she later examined transient occupancy tax revenue and found a similar pattern: the basin generated about 70% of the county’s TOT while receiving roughly 22 to 25 cents on the dollar back. There are complications in making a simple comparison. The basin now houses a juvenile detention facility serving the entire county, for example, while other county services are concentrated on the West Slope. Still, when asked what she would do with a “magic wand,” Laine floated a much larger structural idea: a Tahoe County encompassing the California side of the Basin and another on the Nevada side. Or, ideally, a single bi-state county covering the entire Tahoe Basin. Budget cuts and regional representation Recent county budget cuts have also affected Tahoe organizations, including tourism and business groups. Laine said she believes those reductions were generally proportional to cuts elsewhere in the county. She opposed making them so abruptly, however, arguing that organizations facing the loss of county funding should have been given a more gradual path – potentially reductions of about 30% at a time – to develop an exit strategy. That approach did not win support from her colleagues. Beyond the county itself, Laine represents local interests on regional bodies that play significant roles in Tahoe, including the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Tahoe Transportation District and Tahoe Conservancy. Those seats, she said, provide opportunities to identify duplicated efforts and build partnerships. They also highlight a recurring challenge: Tahoe’s local voices can compete with representatives from Sacramento, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and elsewhere. That makes cooperation among El Dorado County, South Lake Tahoe, Placer County, Douglas County and other local governments especially important, Laine said. Senior center faces costly repairs The future of South Lake Tahoe’s senior center remains unresolved. Laine described a long-running disagreement between El Dorado County and the City of South Lake Tahoe over responsibility for the facility, dating back to a leaking roof in the early 2000s. More recently, a county assessment identified approximately $2.5 million in immediate needs, according to Laine. Those include heating and air-conditioning equipment, accessibility issues, electrical work, and other deficiencies. Even that investment, she said, might extend the building’s useful life by only another five to 10 years. At the time of the interview, Laine said the county had no maintenance dollars programmed for that work. She also raised the question of whether South Lake Tahoe’s new multigenerational recreation facility could meet some senior needs, while acknowledging controversy surrounding that possibility. “There’s a lot of questions, not a lot of answers at this time,” Laine said, calling the issue a high priority. Snow removal staffing and new equipment After staffing shortages created snow-removal concerns in Meyers and elsewhere in the basin, Laine said the county has made progress recruiting seasonal workers. El Dorado County maintains approximately eight full-time Department of Transportation employees locally and was able to hire roughly eight additional seasonal employees last winter, she said. Recruitment incentives included a signing bonus of about $6,000, while county wages became more competitive with other local employers. Laine said the county was fully staffed the previous winter and expected that to continue. Equipment has also been upgraded. The county purchased two new snow blowers and two graders, with two additional graders expected, replacing some machinery dating to the 1970s. Laine credited Measure S oversight and basin-specific transient occupancy tax funding for helping make those purchases possible. Energy reliability becomes an urgent concern Following a major South Shore power outage shortly before the interview, utility reliability was another prominent topic.

ANCONA – Un atleta anconetano, Riccardo Petrilli dei Gls Dolphins Ancona, porta già la nazionale di flag football italiana e la Città di Ancona alle Olimpiadi di Los Angeles 2028. Lo strepitoso traguardo è stato conquistato pochi giorni fa a Dusseldorf, dove si sono svolti i Mondiali e gli azzurri hanno conquistato la medaglia d’argento, perdendo solo contro gli imbattibili Stati Uniti. L’Italia ha superato la fase a gironi battendo Gran Bretagna, Panama e Francia, ha eliminato la Germania nei quarti di finale e in semifinale il Canada, conquistando per la prima volta la finale mondiale che valeva anche la qualificazione ai Giochi Olimpici, dove il flag football, disciplina sempre più praticata e in rapida espansione in tutto il mondo, farà il suo debutto nel programma ufficiale. Nel 2021, Petrilli era già stato protagonista con la nazionale ai Mondiali di Gerusalemme che portò la squadra ai World Games, vale a dire le olimpiadi di tutti gli sport esclusi dal programma ufficiale, in Alabama. Anche in quell’occasione un secondo posto finale dietro sempre agli Usa. Nel 2025 invece si è laureato campione d’Europa battendo l’Austria. Il percorso di Riccardo Petrilli, figlio dello stimato collega Massimiliano Petrilli, è frutto del lavoro portato avanti dai Dolphins Ancona, società che ha raggiunto il massimo traguardo europeo con le campionesse d’Europa Under 17 nel 2026. All’atleta anconetano le congratulazioni dell’Amministrazione comunale. Poi, come spiega l’assessore agli Impianti sportivi Daniele Berardinelli «da appassionato di football americano mi complimento per il bellissimo traguardo ottenuto dal nostro giovane concittadino. Grazie anche a lui, il nome della nostra Ancona sarà protagonista alle Olimpiadi 2028 di Los Angeles in questa nuova disciplina”. L’assessore allo Sport Giovanni Zinni aggiunge: «Lo sport anconetano continua a crescere in tutti i settori. Oltre alle riconferme di Marini, Tamberi, Barontini, Brugnani nelle loro discipline, abbiamo sempre nuovi atleti che raggiungono prestigiosi risultati, come in questo caso questo giovane della nazionale di flag football che aspettiamo alla Festa dello sport per essere festeggiato da tutta la città». Ricordiamo infine che i Dolphins Ancona, all’ultimo mondiale di flag football, erano rappresentati anche dall’oriundo Henry Blackburn che ha contribuito anche lui alla conquista della medaglia d’argento.

Long Beach and Los Angeles ports agreed on the network investments along with developing financial incentive programs to aid the adoption of zero-emission vehicles. The $20 million investments from the ports will go to the South Coast Air Quality Management District, a regional regulatory agency, to develop future projects. Each port is sending the money to the air quality management district, which is slated to oversee the funding. “As we prepare to handle 20 million TEUs by 2050, we are building the Port of the Future — a 100% zero-emissions port,” Port of Long Beach CEO Noel Hacegaba said ina news release. “This new set of clean-air strategies strengthens our commitment, accelerates the zero-emissions transition and ensures cleaner air across the South Coast Air Basin.” The ports plan to use money from $10 twenty-foot equivalent unit fees that have collectively brought in hundreds of millions of dollars since beginning their Clean Truck Fund programs in April 2022. The CTF generated $155.7 million for the Port of Long Beach, the port announced ina July 31 update. The Port of Los Angeles fund collected approximately $123 million as of early 2025, theport announced that May, projecting $120 million more would be collected over the following three years. The Port of Los Angeles, in its May 2025 update, noted how it has spent most of that money collected, covering projects such as vouchers for drayage trucks and charging projects.
