text: The event is intended to raise awareness of the dangers of trenching and excavation, as well as promote the use of protective systems such as sloping, shoring and shielding. The OSHA standard for trenching and excavation (29 CFR 1926.650, Subpart P) requires protective systems for trenches that are 5 feet or deeper, unless the excavation occurs in stable rock.
  As part of the event, NUCA, NAXSA and OSHA are offering free online tools, including posters, checklists, fact sheets and videos.
  OSHA cautions that 1 cubic yard of soil can weigh as much as 3,000 pounds, and adds that trench collapses are “rarely survivable.” According to NUCA, citing data from OSHA, 17 workers died in trench incidents in 2018.
  As a result of previously successful campaigns, NUCA has expanded upon the stand-down and declared June the inaugural Trench Safety Month, a May 20 organizational press release states.
  “In this industry, the safety of our employees on the jobsite is our top priority,” NUCA CEO Doug Carlson said in the release. “Making this June ‘Trench Safety Month’ emphasizes the valuable training and experiences our members’ employees are gaining through the Trench Safety Stand Down week held annually in June throughout our industry.”

  The creation of Bryan-Bennett Library is the story of a friendship between a wealthy tea merchant, Philo S. Bennett of Connecticut, and a political leader whom he admired, William Jennings Bryan. After Bennett's death in 1903, his estate provided $1,500 for the erection of a library upon the ground where Bryan was born. Mr. Bryan matched this money, and construction of the first Bryan-Bennett Library building (on South Broadway) was completed in 1909. Mr. Bryan delivered his lecture, The Price of a Soul, in Salem as a benefit for the Library, netting $660.01. Again, Mr. Bryan matched the proceeds from the benefit, and the money was used to buy the Library's first books.
