  COBRA and Power have been running our "Summer 2009 Fun Competition" from May through August. COBRA won May and we tied for June. This competition is on percentage of Active Observers. Currently IPP has a 1.34 incident rate, I'm not sure about CPD.
On the Union side for me, I just got back from Portland Or. where I got to attend USW Officer training. This training was great, I'm very thankful the Local sent me. More to come from our 712 Safety comity, we are working to form that comity.
Thanks Jeff for all your work.
