Abstract: Good afternoon, as Dave noted, I am the Safety Manager for East Ohio Gas here in Cleveland, which is a distribution company that is part of the Consolidated Natural Gas, or CNG, system. So hopefully, you will not be confused when sometimes I refer to East Ohio and sometimes I refer to CNG. I have been asked to speak to you today about safety success stories. I wasnt quite sure when Dave called me, if he was asking me to participate because he knew that we had had some success or whether it was simply that I lived in Cleveland and he knew I would be able to be here today. But at any rate, when I considered that request, I felt that the best safety success story I could relate would be how East Ohios safety record, like downtown Cleveland, has improved dramatically over the past five years. In 1993 many parts of the downtown were not in very good shape. The Warehouse District, now brimming with upscale restaurants and nightclubs, just to the west of this convention center, was nothing but partially vacant old buildings and rundown clothing stores. Jacobs Field, home of the Indians, was not open, Gund Arena, home of the Cavaliers, was not open. The waterfront looked nothing like it does today. The Rock n Roll HOF was not open, the Science Center adjacent to the HOF was not open, and certainly no one in 1993 could have guessed that venerable Cleveland Stadium, home of the Browns, would be abandoned, the Browns would leave, the stadium demolished, a new Cleveland Browns team would be born, and a beautiful new state of the art stadium would rise like a Phoenix, from the rubble of the old. Well, five years ago East Ohios safety record was not in very good shape either.
