Site of Jessie's Landing okay'd for townhomes

Land Development board members approve the 60-home project unanimously. Council will vote next month.

© St. Petersburg Times
published September 18, 2002

photo SEMINOLE -- The waterfront property where the popular restaurant Jesse's Landing once stood is one step closer to becoming an upscale residential development.

The city's Land Development Review Board on Monday unanimously approved the rezoning of the 8-acre property on Park Boulevard so developers can build more than 60 two-story townhomes. Board chairwoman Lisa Pezone was absent from the meeting.

The board's recommendation will go before the City Council at its Oct. 8 meeting.

The main concern among the four board members was traffic. They wanted to be sure the city would require the development to have a safe entrance and exit.

"I think that is definitely a major consideration," said board member Ken Swartz.

City Planner Mark Ely assured the board that staff would follow the project step by step. "One of the paramount considerations is going to be safety," he said.

A slew of automobile accidents on Park Boulevard in front of Home Depot, next to the proposed development, eventually forced the installation of a signal light in front of the store.

No one spoke in opposition to the project, and after the board made its decision, there were handshakes and words of congratulations in the audience. Nicholas and Mindy Bickey, who want to develop the property, were visibly excited that the project got approval from the board.

"We're real excited," Mindy Bickey said Tuesday, adding that if all goes well, workers would break ground on the project in March.

During the public hearing Monday, Ely told board members a residential development would generate less traffic than a commercial building. He said although the townhomes would use about 2,000 more gallons of water than a commercial property, the infrastructure could handle the demand.

"In summary, we think it is consistent with the city's comprehensive land use plan," Ely said.

Joseph DiVito, an attorney representing the Bickeys, said the Bickeys plan to preserve as much of the property's natural environment as possible. They also plan to use environmentally safe products to build the community.

Contractor Wayne Ismark showed a preliminary site plan to the board members. The drawing showed landscaped grounds, two ponds and 13 buildings, which would be just under 45 feet high. The sketch was titled "Lofts on the Park."

The 400-seat Jesse's Landing, later Jesse's Seafood House, closed in 1998 and was torn down two years later. Johnson Ezell Corp. owns the property.

The 14,400-square-foot wooden building was named after Seminole pioneer Jesse Johnson and is owned by his descendants. The establishment was considered an homage to Johnson, dubbed the original "Mr. Seminole" in 1965 by the Chamber of Commerce.

Tire cleanup funding diverted

The state is steering money from its tire tax to other projects, leaving the county without funds for recycling.

© St. Petersburg Times,
published September 11, 2001

INVERNESS -- The state tire tax once had a nice symmetry to it.

Every new tire came with a $1 fee that helped pay for environmental and litter control programs, including used-tire disposal. Money from that fund helped Citrus County recycle about 500 tons of tires last year, including nearly 200 tons recovered from illegal dump sites.

This year, however, legislators steered most of the tire tax dollars toward other projects, leaving Citrus County and most other counties without any grants for tire disposal, litter control and recycling education.

Although Citrus officials have scraped together enough local dollars to keep their neighborhood recycling centers and litter control programs afloat, there is not enough money to continue cleaning up illegal tire dumps, county recycling specialist Frank Wentzel said.

As a result, the county will not renew its contract this month with Mike Burns Enterprises, the contractor who has cleaned up the tire dumps for the past two years, Wentzel said.

"It is a very expensive job, and we just don't have the money to do it ourselves," Wentzel said.

"When you buy tires, you are paying into a fund for tire disposal," he added. "I cannot see how it makes any sense to put that money somewhere else."

The Legislature decided that the grants, including the $152,763 that Citrus County received this past year, were only supposed to help the counties start their recycling programs, not subsidize those efforts indefinitely.

"There is a general sense in the Legislature that the recycling programs have pretty much accomplished the goals they set out to accomplish," said Ron Henricks, head of the waste reduction division with the state Department of Environmental Protection.

"The way some legislators have portrayed it, this is not against recycling," he said. "We have accomplished a lot of what we set out to accomplish, and now the state has other priorities."

The state dished out the first recycling grants in 1989, telling counties that the assistance would last for just five years -- presumably enough time for local recycling programs to become self-sufficient.

But the state grants continued past the five-year mark, as moderate community participation and stagnant resale prices for recycled materials kept the programs from completely paying for themselves.

Recycled newspaper fetches the same price today, about $25 to $30 a ton, as it did eight years ago, Wentzel said. And the price for recycled steel, after accounting for inflation, is at an all-time low, he said.

"Ben Franklin got paid more for steel," Wentzel said.

The state grants have covered about a third of the recycling program costs, with Citrus County picking up the rest of the tab.

The county's $456,894 recycling budget for this fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, included $152,763 in state dollars. The grants included $60,175 for tire disposal, $77,088 for recycling education and $17,500 for litter prevention.

None of those grant dollars appear in the county's recycling budget for next fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1, although Citrus County is receiving a first-time state grant of $50,000 for electronics recycling.

The state's solid waste management trust fund, a blend of tire tax dollars and sales tax revenue, will provide $5.8-million next year in recycling grants to small counties with fewer than 100,000 people. But the bulk of the fund -- about $33.8-million -- is going to the state's working capital fund, a giant pot of state dollars that cover a variety of projects.

Because the tire tax dollars are being mixed with other dollars in the working capital fund, DEP officials said Monday it was impossible to specify which projects will be funded with the former recycling grant money.

The loss of the grant money was "very disappointing" to County Commissioner Josh Wooten, who made litter control a keystone of his campaign last year.

The tire cleanup program is important, Wooten said, because abandoned tires collect rainwater and become breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

Wentzel also noted that unlike most other kinds of trash, tires do not break down over time.

"Paper or plastic in the sunlight breaks down within a few months," Wentzel said. "But a tire, after 20 years out in the weather, still looks pretty much like it did when it was put there."

The county recycles the tires by sending them to an alternative fuel power plant in Polk County, where the oil-based tires are burned to generate electricity, he said.

Wooten hopes that as new tire dumps crop up, the county can find the dollars in its own budget to clean up those sites.

"The good news on the illegal tire dumps is that we about got them knocked out last year with that grant money," Wooten said. "We were at least able to get caught up. I'm sure if there's small sites popping up, we'll be able to find the money in the current budget to take care of that."

He began his working life as a bank clerk but abandoned this career in 1857 to became a photographer. ln 1863 Bourne left Britain for India where he established a studio in Simla, in partnership with Charles Shepherd. Between 1863 and 1870 he undertook several photographic expeditions, including trips to the Himalayas, producing a collection of landscape views unsurpassed in technical skill and compositional elegance. By 1870 the Bourne and Shepherd catalogue contained 2,000 views from all parts of the subcontinent.

STAMFORD -- The fortunate golfers were the ones who dodged Mother Nature Saturday in the opening round of the 2012 Stamford Amateur Golf Championship at E. Gaynor Brennan Municipal Golf Course.

The final 32 golfers in the field of 109 -- the ladies and Men's Handicap C Divisions -- who played through the brunt of Saturday's late afternoon rain storms. The lone silver lining was that the final foursome walked off the 18th green just as the thunder and lightning horn suspending play sounded.

Golfers in the Men's Handicap A and B Divisions, the Men's Seniors and the Men's Championship Flight were treated to a rare cool and overcast Saturday. This led to a number of low scores over the superbly manicured course and true rolling greens of E.G. Brennan course superintendent Mike Sullivan.

The two-way tie for the Men's Championship Division lead featured last year's runnerup Cahal McMonagle and Wesley Tryhare at 71.

"I putted very well. Chipping in for birdie on No. 18 was a good way to end the round," said McMonagle after his four-birdie, four-bogey round "I've been playing the Brennan course every second Saturday so I'm comfortable here."

"I was four under par through 12 holes but I was shaky down the stretch," said Tryhare, who will be the senior captain of the Babson College men's golf team in the fall. "I played golf for King School and Sterling Farms was our home course. So I'm looking forward to playing there Sunday."

Yes, Sunday's second round will be at Sterling Farms. And following the Division cuts after Sunday's proceedings, the survivors (top 30 percent and ties in each division ) will play the third and final round Sunday, Aug. 5 at E. Gaynor Brennan.

In the Men's Seniors Division, Alex Lionetti leads at 77 followed by Gary Barnhart at 78. Last year's senior champion Dr. Lukas Konandreas was disqualified late in Saturday's round.

The Men's Handicap A Division had a Trinity Catholic High School flavor to it.

Michael Rubino, a member of the 2009 state champion Crusaders' golf team, shot a net of 67 (77-10). He holds a two-shot lead over recent Trinity Catholic graduate Tim Keane (76-7, net 69).

"Today was great. I hadn't broken 80 all year," Rubino said. "I hit fairways and greens in regulation. But I didn't make a putt over 4 feet. Playing Sterling Farms Sunday will be a challenge."

"I hit the ball well. My putting was a little off. I made two birdies. I should have had more," Keane said. "This is my fourth year playing the Stamford Amateur. This is the year I want to be a factor."

Skip Wells, Luigi Cardillo, Jamie Russo and Ted Steede are tied for third place at net 71.

In Handicap B Division, James Iosifidis capped his round of 79 by draining a 20-foot birdie putt on No. 18. With his 16 handicap, Iosifidis (net 63) leads Eric McDonald (82-16-net 66) by three shots.

In the rainy Handicap C Division, Sal Carrera fashioned a net 63 (80-17-63) to lead by six shots. Brian Farrell (87-18-69) and Leo Reynolds (97-28-69) are next.

Nothing groundbreaking, but decent pub fare at the York in Islington

ES Going Out

One of the few proper pubs left on Islington's main drag. It's now a Nicholson's and does everything to the standards we've come to expect from them. The beer is good - Pride, Bombardier and guests on the many hand pumps, supported by a decent wine list and the usual spirits - and it's promptly and pleasantly served. It's a big pub, so there's usually plenty of room, although it does get crowded, at the times you'd expect, towards the end of the week and especially after the antique market closes.

There are a few screens dotted around the place, so it's also a popular spot for watching sport and as it's almost the closest pub to Angel tube, it is a favourite meeting place, before heading north up Upper Street.

It's a decent pub, when it's not overly crowded, however, unlike most of the clientele, we don't feel the outside seating is particularly enticing - unless you're really into NOX, particulates and avant-garde poetry (as practised by some of the local street residents).

FEATURES: real ales, outdoor seating, Sky TVs all over the place

First pretensions can be deceiving

ES Going Out

Only people of a certain age - mine - and over are likely to remember Englebert Humperdinck. He sprang to mind when I went to eat in Belsize Park, and was reminded that the lantern-jawed one had an unlikely hit with a bizarre song called 'Les Biciclettes de Belsize'. Like much of life, it made no sense at all.

Just what is it about Belsize Park and music? Eighties rock band Marillion once sang a line about 'loving on the floor in Belsize Park' and Sir Paul McCartney recently regaled fellow diners at XO restaurant with an impromptu performance (before telling the waiting paparazzi to X off).

I never usually go quite so far north for dinner unless I have to. For an East End boy like me, it's a bit like a trip to the moon: it's trendy, it's scary and the local MP is Glenda Jackson, who once spookily starred in a film called, of course, The Music Lovers. But, on this occasion, I am glad I did.

My journey took me through St John's Wood with its enormous, ugly houses, replete with often absurd wrought-iron gates and dripping with tax-free wealth and pretension. And at first sight, XO seems to share that pretension.

You enter to a long bar, brimming with hundreds of bottles, over which the young and the chic are draped. Everything is black - and not just the décor. The staff are decked out in black clothes and adorned with fashionable glasses. One of them was wearing a pair that made him look just like Joe 90 - another character only those of a certain age will remember - and my inquisitive companion asked where he'd got them. Halfway through dinner Joe 90 appeared clutching his optician's card, which is what I call service.

Aided by such friendly attention, it soon became clear that the apparent pretension that strikes you on entering belies what turned out to be an easy, laid-back charm.

The restaurant is one of five owned by Aussie Will Ricker, which I suppose makes it part of a chain. The name XO apparently refers to a Chinese savoury sauce based on an unconvincing mix of dried seafood, ham, garlic and chillies. Oh, and is an homage to the famous brandy.

The food is fusion, which for the uninitiated can often mean confusion. Fortunately, the waiter was there to guide us through the menu. And what a treat it was. The crisply perfect rock-shrimp tempura and prawn and pork dumplings were so good we ordered extra. Only the spring rolls disappointed. Like spring rolls the world over, they were cold and soggy.

We ordered black cod but - unlike the décor - the fish simply wasn't black enough and was also a tad overdone, but my greedy companion ate it anyway. My prawn curry with ginger noodles was incredibly tasty.

Unsurprisingly, we couldn't manage any of the puddings but the list seemed ridiculously heavy - cheesecake and chocolate brownies - and not a natural companion to the rest of the menu. I certainly couldn't imagine any of the slender locals (Gwyneth Paltrow, Sienna Miller) spooning these into their delicate mouths.

The wine list was daunting, crammed with wines with the most extraordinary names and very expensive. We played it safe with Pinot Grigio, refreshing with the meal but probably not worth £39 (and it was one of the cheapest on the list). My companion was taken with the idea of a bottle of Bonny Doon to follow, just because he liked the name, but Joe 90 cautioned against it. We took refuge in Pinot Noir - unoriginal, it's true, but at £33 a comparative bargain.

All in all it was a great meal in a smart, friendly restaurant, and I'd certainly make the journey north again. And the celebrity factor? Pretending to do no such thing, I glanced around in a futile search for one, but alas, in vain. All I could see was a Seventies sitcom actor whose name I couldn't remember (although I am pretty sure he did a Rod Hull-style act with a blue bird).

How different it must have been the night Macca sang for his supper. Enviously, I let my eyes drift to the piano and tried to imagine which song he would have chosen. 'Baby's in Black', I suppose.

O2 tops bills as world's favourite pop venue

Click to follow
The Evening Standard
LONDON'S O2 arena has broken records to become the world's most popular music arena for the second year in a row.

Official figures released by industry publication Pollstar show the Greenwich venue sold nearly two million tickets last year.

Pollstar says the 1,806, 447 total is the highest figure since it started monitoring annual ticket sales in 2000. The figure for the 20,000-seat arena inside the former Millennium Dome is attributable to sell-out shows by Kylie Minogue, the Eagles, Kanye West, Kings of Leon, Stevie Wonder, the Spice Girls and Sir Elton John.

The world's next most-visited arena last year was New York's Madison Square Gardens where there were more than 500,000 ticket sales than the O2.

But it was bad news for Wembley Arena which has struggled to compete since its east London rival opened for business in 2007. The 12,500-capacity venue - once London's most popular - was listed 38th in the world.

Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of Pollstar said: "This is certainly the highest year-end tickets sales we have had since our records began in 2000. The O2 has made a massive impact on the global concert business."

Arena chiefs hope that another flurry of big name acts this year including Britney Spears, Tina Turner, The Killers, Beyoncé, Pink, AC/DC, and Bob Dylan will help the venue break the two million mark.

Venue Ticket sales

1. O2 arena, London - 1,806, 447

2. Madison Square Gardens, New York - 1,161,035

3. Manchester Evening News Arena, Manchester - 1,157,892

4. Sportpaleis Antwerpen Merksem, Belgium - 889,137

5. Air Canada Centre, Toronto - 723,469

Harry Redknapp targets Premier League title in next few years

Click to follow
ES Sport
Harry Redknapp insists he has not lost the plot when he says that Tottenham are capable of winning the title in the next few years.

Spurs' 0-0 draw against West Ham on Saturday saw his team drop 14 points behind Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester United.

The north Londoners had an outside chance of making a late tilt at the championship until a recent run of poor form saw them drop to fifth.

With nine matches of the season remaining, Spurs are now outsiders in the race for fourth, with four points separating them and fourth-placed Manchester City, although they have a game in hand.

Redknapp has never shied away from suggesting that Tottenham should deserve to be grouped in the same category as heavyweights Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, and with the likes of Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Rafael van der Vaart in his squad, he is convinced the club are capable of winning a title in the next few years.

"I've said I aim to win the league. Whether people believe it I don't know. They might think I'm mad but I think it is possible," Redknapp said.

"I said last year that I thought we'd get in the top four and we did it. I did not say I wanted to be in the Europa League, I said I wanted to be in the Champions League and we did it.

"There is nothing between us at the top now. There is nothing between us and Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United. I think the players believe it too.

"We have got some fantastic players here and we have proved it in Europe and we have to believe it. We have some real good players and if we can get one or two in to improve the squad, then the sky is the limit."

Spurs dominated large parts of Saturday's London derby at White Hart Lane but could not find a breakthrough, partly due to luck but also thanks to two excellent performances from Robert Green and Wayne Bridge.

Jermain Defoe was left red-faced after the t-shirt he wore underneath his Tottenham shirt commemorating his 100th goal for the club was not revealed after he failed to find the net.

The former Hammers striker had a torrid afternoon, missing several chances while being booed by the visiting fans.

Redknapp urged his own fans not to be too harsh on the 28-year-old though, revealing a family bereavement had affected his performance.

"I hope he doesn't wear that shirt again. It's tempting fate," Redknapp said.

"He was unlucky and to be fair to him, he was up half the night because one of his grandparents died on Friday night and was at their bedside."

Redknapp defended his decision to play the former Pompey striker so close to his grandparent's death.

"He wanted to play and I'm sure he'd have loved to score against the Hammers because the fans love him there," Redknapp said sarcastically. "He always gets a good reception and I'm sure he'd like to have put a goal past them."

Bridge's performance earned him the man-of-the-match award after he successfully kept out Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale, who had to swap flanks due to the 30-year-old's performance.

After a rocky debut against Arsenal, Bridge has put in several impressive displays for the Hammers.

West Ham midfielder Mark Noble believes that if the club continue to invest in players like Bridge, Demba Ba and Robbie Keane, then they will soon be pushing the likes of Tottenham for a place in Europe.

Noble said: "I would be the first to say that it hasn't been going well for the last few years but if we can bring in players like that, do good business in the windows, with the foundations we have, the fans we have, and the club how it is, there is no reason why we can't do what Tottenham are doing here."

Strauss turns focus to Lord's

Click to follow
The Evening Standard
Andrew Strauss will turn his attentions to Lord's later this week as a relieved man intent on improving England's performance for their next confrontation in the Ashes series.

England captain Strauss admitted the immediate emotion was one of relief after watching last pair James Anderson and Monty Panesar repel 69 deliveries to hang on for a draw during Sunday's thrilling final day of the opening Test in Cardiff.

"There was a huge amount of relief in the dressing room and a lot of pride in how those guys played - the second half of the order really stood up to be counted," admitted Strauss.

"There is a lot of pride in what they achieved, but more than anything there was relief in getting through the game and we're still 0-0 going into the Lord's Test match.

"We are relieved we came away with a draw, but we're not going to pretend we're happy with the way we performed this week. We were down on where we needed to be and Australia showed us they're going to be a tough nut to crack and we need to get better."

Anderson and Panesar finished off the job begun by Paul Collingwood, who battled for 343 minutes for his 74, and supported by Andrew Flintoff, Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann to save the game after they seemed destined for an emphatic defeat when they slipped to 70 for five.

England's selectors will seek the views of Strauss and coach Andy Flower on Monday morning before they announce the squad for Thursday's next Test at Lord's, where they have not beaten Australia since 1934.

"The wicket was still very flat (in Cardiff) and as the guys lower in the order proved, there were a lot of ways of staying in there but we didn't manage to find them and in that respect we have to learn a lesson from it," said Strauss.

"If we're honest with ourselves we need to learn from how we batted in the first innings. To score 336 for seven on the first day in hindsight wasn't a brilliant effort and as batsmen we've got to take that on the chin and be determined to come out and make amends the next time we play."

Probable England squad: AJ Strauss (Middlesex, capt), AN Cook (Essex), RS Bopara (Essex), KP Pietersen (Hampshire), PD Collingwood (Durham), MJ Prior (Sussex, wkt), A Flintoff (Lancashire), SCJ Broad (Nottinghamshire), GP Swann (Nottinghamshire), JM Anderson (Lancashire), MS Panesar (Northamptonshire), IR Bell (Warwickshire), G Onions (Durham).

RSl faces crucial MlS road trip

Thursday , March 06, 2014 - 1:20 PM

Standard-Examiner Staff

Real Salt Lake will look to win its third straight game across all competitions tonight, when the MLS leaders take on Western Conference rival L.A. Galaxy at 8:30 p.m. at StubHub Center.

This contest will be the third and final regular season matchup between RSL and L.A. this year. The sides split the first two meetings, with L.A. scoring two early goals to beat RSL 2-0 at Rio Tinto Stadium on April 27 before the Claret-and-Cobalt bagged two late tallies to down the Galaxy 3-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 8.

Real Salt Lake enters the match in first place in the Supporters’ Shield and Western Conference races. The Claret-and-Cobalt are two points ahead of Eastern Conference leaders Sporting Kansas City in the battle for the Supporters’ Shield and five points ahead of Vancouver Whitecaps FC and the Colorado Rapids in the Western Conference race.

RSL is seven points ahead of LA, which sits in fifth-place in the West and has a game in hand on the Claret-and-Cobalt.

RSL won its last match, getting a goal from FW Alvaro Saborio to beat the Houston Dynamo 1-0 at Rio Tinto Stadium last Saturday. The win extended the Claret-and-Cobalt’s unbeaten run to three games across all competitions including the team’s Aug. 3 2-2 draw at Colorado and its 2-1 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Semifinal win over the Portland Timbers on Aug. 7.

Still, there is plenty of room for improvement, the team leaders say.

“I think you walk into the locker room and they’re already talking about being better next week,” head coach Jason Kreis said after the Houston win. “What can we do in training this week to be better next week; that’s pretty cool.”

The game will pit the two hottest players in the league against each other in RSL FW Alvaro Saborio and LA FW Landon Donovan. The two have absolutely torn up the league recently, with Saborio notching six goals and one assist in his last five MLS games and Donovan registering four goals and three helpers over the same span. Both players notched a hat trick during their strong runs of form.

“Hopefully we can build on the confidence of getting a shutout and getting back to keeping the zero which is always going to put us in a position to win,” midfielder Ned Grabavoy said.

Marcus Hands grew up in Wilmington and played football at both Laney and East Carolina.

When Shirley Hands, having just parked her shiny Chevrolet Impala in the staff lot, heads down the hallways for work at New Hanover Regional Medical Center, where she is a radiologist scheduler, co-workers have a tendency to duck out of sight.
Shirley could be in selling mode – the natural extension of her son, Marcus Hands, who is about to complete his first year in sales for Jeff Gordon Chevrolet.
“I sold her the Impala,” says Hands, 29, with a laugh, “and she has sent me at least three or four solid leads from her work already. She's generating a lot of business for me.”
And that's exactly the idea, said Mark Santilli, marketing manager at the Wilmington dealership on South College Road.
“If people are happy with the car, then, in effect, we have hired them,” Santilli said. “They're going to tell their family and friends. They sell for us. And that's how a new salesperson, like Marcus, begins to create a book of business.
“Marcus has a great personality. He's learning. He's going to build that book.”
Jeff Gordon Chevrolet recently ranked fourth nationally for pre-owned sales among Chevrolet's 4,000-plus dealerships, Santilli said. In Wilmington, it employs 175 people, including 30 on the sales staff.
“We have great pride in what we do and the service we offer. We don't need gorillas on the roof, or wavy-hand guys on the corner,” Santilli said.
They bring a shot of reality to the enterprise of selling and servicing transportation.
“Working in the car business, well, we aren't exactly a career objective,” Santilli said. “Nobody dreams of a career working six days a week, 12 hours some days. People usually come to work here because of change in circumstances. I was in a totally different career when the company I worked for folded. I moved into this as a necessity.
“But once you get in it, it's hard not to love it. Just all the different people you meet and get to help.”
Young Marcus Hands, growing up in Wilmington and starring in football at both Laney High School and later East Carolina University, coveted a somewhat realistic dream about professional football. He even had some tryouts and workouts with various NFL squads.
When nothing clicked, Hands later tried a career in mental health services with a facility in Leland. After a couple of years he was “burned out” and dealing with a “change in circumstances.” A lifelong buddy had a family member who worked at Jeff Gordon and this time things clicked, but slowly.
“It's not easy,” said Hands of learning the sales ropes, especially with the intensive and aggressive training schedule selling a Chevy demands. “There is so much to learn. You want to do everything right. Sometimes I'm even afraid I'll stumble over my words when I'm explaining things.”
There's plenty to explain. For example, last week Hands attended a weekend-long Chevrolet tutorial in Raleigh where the subject was just the 2014 Silverado. And during every week there are computer-assisted training sessions and learning goals.
“You see,” Santilli said, “nobody just drives up to a dealership anymore. They've been online for hours studying not only the type of car they want, but just exactly what they can expect for a trade-in. They know what they want.
“So more than ever, sales people, like Marcus, have to be consultants. To sell Chevrolet, you have to be certified based on the classes and courses you pass. Certified every year. And, believe me, we make sure new sales people are comfortable before we ever would put them in front of a customer.”
Hands, meanwhile, is off building his book of business, managing a heavy knowledge base that expands daily. But he's moving fast across the 15-acre sales lot and in the showroom, smiling easily and quickly engaging customers.
“It's challenging,” Hands said . “But some great people work here. And they are always helpful.”

Gophers coach Don Lucia expects Vermont to be a formidable nonconference opponent this weekend. The two teams meet for the first time ever at 6 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Sunday.

"Lasy year [the Catamounts] didn't have the year they wanted," Lucia said. "But the two previous years they were NCAA tournament teams and a Frozen Four team [in 2009] and the goaltender that is playing took them to the Frozen Four.

"I know they are picked to be in the middle of Hockey East and I know we were picked to be in the middle of the WCHA, so it should be a great matchup."

The Gophers are 4-0-0, Vermont has not played a game yet.

"The goal this weekend is to continue to try to improve on areas that we didn't feel like we  performed like we could have last week," Lucia said, "and that is what we have been trying to stress in practice so far."

Expect senior goalie Kent Patterson to start both games for the Gophers..

"Until he needs a break, he won't get one," Lucia said. "Kent is our goalie. Whether he plays every game or most of the games -- he is probably going to be playing most nights. And he has earned that right. And if you ask Kent, he wants to play every night."

"He has been really good," Lucia said. "And he was really good the second half of last year, too. When we climbed our way back in the standings last year [to fifth place], a big part of it was how he played. We felt that Kent would give us a chance to win every night he plays and, so far, he has done his job."

Patterson opened this season with back-to-back shutouts over Sacred Heart, 9-0 and 6-0. He had 20 saves in each games. Last weekend on the road, he beat UMD 5-4 in overtime and 5-4 in regulation. He stopped a career-high 46 shots in each game.

 "The work ethic, the patience he has showed in his early years here, he just waited for his chance," said Lucia, when asked what about Patterson has impressed him the most. "He never complained. He was a good team guy. And once he got his opportunity he has run with it. It's a good lesson for everybody. We want it all now, but sometimes you have to wait and pay some dues as a college hockey player, especially in that position more than any other."

Patterson became the Gopher's full-time goalie in the middle of last season when Alex Kangas was sidelined by a hip injury in mid-December.

"Kent is an extremely hard-working kid. He keeps himself in great shape. I don't want to say he is un-emotional, but he is pretty flat-lined in that he never gets too high or gets too low. You look at Kent and you probably wouldn't know whether he had a bad game or a good game after."

Patterson is a second team, all-WCHA goalie last season.

"He should be one of the top goalies in the country this year," Lucia said. "And the better he plays, the better opportunity we are going to have to have a great year."

On his new three-year contract extension: "The media makes more out of it than certainly we do. I knew last spring it was going to happen. It was just a matter of getting around to having the conversations that take place. You talk about it than you don't even worry about it for a month or two. Than, oh, we better talk about it again. That's kind of what takes so long."

On the state of the Gophers' program: "I said long ago we are not happy with where we have been the last couple of years. The goal is to get it back to where we want it to be. ... We haven't been that far away the last couple of years.Last spring, if we had won the first round -- we didn't -- we would have been in the NCAAs." ... The Gophers were swept at Mariucci Arena by Alaska Anchorage in the first round of the WCHA playoffs.

On the present team: "I like our kids this year. I like our work ethic that we have shown. They have been a fun group to be around. When you have a good group that you enjoy being around, as a coach you get excited, too, to get out there with them and help work with them and make them better."

On the strong play of the power play: "I like the makings that we have back there. They have done a nice job. Our entry into the zones has been good. We are winning some faceoffs, whether it is on the power play to start possessions -- you lose it [there] and you have to go back 200 feet to get a puck. We are shooting. We have some guys who are pretty handy. So you have some of the makings of what can be a good power play but we also know that [power plays] are streaky. We are off to a good start but are we creating chances? That's the big thing I want to see from our power play." The Gophers power play was six for nine last weekend against UMD. It's clicking at an NCAA-best 39.1 percent through four games.

On the penalty kill's success: "Our penalty kill is what I was most pleased with over the weekend. It was a real struggle for us last year but now some of the guys we counted to kill last year, especially out front, they have that year of experience and they have done a better job of it so far." The penalty kill is 18 for 20, at 90 percent, which also makes it one of the nation's best.

Forums on trash collection this week

The League of Women Voters Edina is sponsoring sessions exploring the pros and cons of organized garbage hauling for the city on Thursday, Oct. 10, and Saturday, Oct. 12.

Edina homeowners are now responsible for hiring their own garbage hauler from a city-licensed list, but advocates of having the city hire for and organize trash collection say it reduces noise and pollution and saves on road repair.

Susan Naughton and Mary Yee of the League of Minnesota Cities and Edina Recycling Coordinator Solvei Wilmot will discuss the issue.

The Thursday meeting is at the Edina Library and the Saturday session is in the Edina City Hall's community room. Both meetings run from 9:45 to 11:30 a.m.

Free writing classes to be held in two parts

A free two-part class, "Story and Memory Writing," will be taught by award-winning fiction writer Alida Winternheimer in St. Louis Park this month.

The first class will be held at the St. Louis Park Library on Tuesday, Oct. 22, and the second will be held at the Lenox Center on Wednesday, Oct. 23. Both classes are scheduled from 1-3:30 p.m.

Registration deadline for the class is Oct. 16. For more information, go to www.slp

Maarten's observation from yesterday is quite correct.
But if you mis-spoke and you really want to look at the effect on your dependent variable of everybody having ORT=1, a clunky way to do this (assuming that X1 and X2 are uncorrelated with ORT) would be to use the predict command to generate the estimated y (say, y_hat) and then

. gen policy_effect =y_hat-(b1*x1 + b2*x2 + b3) [you'd pull the coefficients from the e(b) vector ]

Steelers Surely Not Sweet On Sweed Anymore

Although Steelers Director of football operations Kevin Colbert claimed a month ago that the Steelers are not counting out Limas Sweed as a member of the 2010 Steelers receiver unit, the draft this past weekend points to anything but that. The Steelers drafted receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown this past weekend with hopes that both will help ease the offseason loss of Santonio Holmes. Going into the draft, Sweed looked like the #5 receiver on the depth chart, although some would argue he could of even been the #6 behind Tyler Grisham. The Steelers brought back Antwaan Randle El after a short vacation in Washington and signed Arnaz Battle to play the 2010 role of Shaun McDonald on the roster.

Sweed surely woke up this morning tired after tossing and turning all weekend. There is no way he could sleep knowing he is just months away from having his career being over in the NFL. That may be a little harsh, as there certainly will be a team wanting to see what Sweed does or doesn\’t have for themselves, but I think every opportunity has been given to him to stick in Pittsburgh.

It was quite curious to see Sweed release a statement upon the start of last weeks on field OTA session. Perhaps it is part of his recovery for his undisclosed illness. Sweed is rumored to suffer from severe depression and perhaps severe lack of confidence as well. The 3rd year is usually the year that receivers either jump forward or slide off into oblivion. The pressure is enormous on Sweed right now and you know he feels it. He was blown right past by Mike Wallace in 2009 and come the start of camp, both Sanders and Brown will be nipping at his heels. Sweed will have to truly make the rookies look like rookies in every practice if he is to make the final 53 man roster.

Sweed is in the third year of a four year contract and the Steelers would face no salary cap penalties going forward, if he is cut prior to week one of the season, because of 2010 being uncapped. They will give him every opportunity to make the team, but will also give him every opportunity to get cut. If I were placing a bet, I would bet on the latter of the two happening. I am not sure when exactly it happened or in this case didn\’t happen for Sweed. Could it have been the drop against the Ravens in the 2008 AFC Championship game? Hard to tell really, but it is safe to say that the Steelers are not sweet on Sweed anymore, regardless what Colbert would like you believe. Bust happen from time to time, even in Pittsburgh. Sweed, my dear Steeler Nation friends, is a bust.

  • dave

    Yep, I agree. Looks like a slim to none chance of him making the final 53. It’s a shame, I had high hopes for him this time 2 years ago.

    The Steelers gave Randle-El a $900K signing bonus and Battle a $975K signing bonus. I don’t see either of them getting cut without ever playing a down in the regular season. That’s a lot of money down the drain. I can’t see them cutting a 3rd rounder (Sanders) either.

    I guess there is a slim chance that Sweed finally puts it all together, and maybe the final WR roster looks like this – Ward, Wallace, Randle-El, Battle, Sweed, Sanders (with Sanders taking Stefan Logan’s roster spot), and maybe Antonio Brown on the practice squad. But I still think that is unlikely to happen.

Considering Chablis

The Chablisians are hitting the road to market their region and its famous white wine. It is a very ancient winegrowing region; the Romans brought vines and viticulture there sometime early in the Common Era, according to Rosemary George, MW, in her fine book, The Wines of Chablis and the Grand Auxerrois.

That the Chardonnay grape became a virtual monopole in Chablis no doubt is due to Chablis having been incorporated, in 1477, into the duchy of Burgundy. Red wine may be made there, but then, it would not be entitled to any of the official AOCs: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru or Chablis Grand Cru, but only the lowly Vin de Pays status.

My host yesterday, at a small luncheon at Boulevard, was the charming, young, voluble Jean-Francois Bordet, winemaker at Domaine Séguinot-Bordet (which his family has farmed for many centuries) and also president of the Chablis Wine Board. We tasted through 5 wines: Jean-Francois’s own Domaine Séguinot-Bordet 2010 Vielles Vignes (12.8% ABV, $16), La Chablisienne 2009 Premier Cru Côte de Léchet (13%, about $23), Domaine William Fevre 2009 Premier Cru Vaulorent (12.5%, $53), Domaine Christian Moreau 2008 Grand Cru Valmur (13%, $65) and Domaine Drouhin Vaudon 2008 Grand Cru Les Clos ($74; I did not get the alcohol). Each wine was immaculately paired with superb food, mainly sea food (crab, scallops, lobster), although Boulevard’s chef, Nancy Oaks, decided to make a steak tartare and oyster appetizer for Jean-Francois’s Vielles Vignes, and what a great match that was.

Several things were apparent: Chablis is great wine by any standard. It is reasonably priced, especially at the Grand Cru level; only a handful of domaines dare exceed $100. The wines are just what the anti-high alcohol lynch mob demands. And they are sublimely versatile with food. Of course, if you’re at a restaurant like Boulevard, you eat something classic with Chablis, such as the Maine lobster with risotto and mushrooms, which Chef Oaks paired with the two Grand Crus. But, as Jean-Francois observed, at home he will happily drink Chablis with anything including, he smiled, scrambled eggs for breakfast.

The wines themselves all possess the Chablisian traits of utter dryness, acidity and minerality. From Chablis through Premier Cru and Grand Cru one discovers, of course, increasing power and depth. In some respects, Jean-Francois’s unoaked Vielles Vignes stood out for me, so clean and vibrant and uplifting, and, at $16, an amazing deal. It was my first sip of wine of the day, so that may have accounted for much of its appeal, but I left some in the glass and, even two hours later after that splendid lunch, it retained and even increased its charms.

As if bracketing the five wines, my other favorite was the Les Clos Grand Cru. I called it “huge”, with “fantastic power,” “the biggest of the tasting,” but this is perhaps misleading, because those terms could be used for a California Chardonnay from, say, Williams Selyem, but no two Chardonnays could be more different. The Les Clos was huge in comparison with the preceding four wines, yet it also was sleek, elegant and streamlined, despite a year in oak (none of which, by the way, was new). The flavors vaguely suggested Asian pear and quince, with the wood bringing a spicy tone of butterscotch, but to over-dwell on any specific flavor is a mistake, because the wine comes across as a single entity, which is, after all, the essence of balance.

On the other hand, the third wine, the 2009 Premier Cru Vaulorent, was for me the least of all the wines. Jean-Francois explained that 2009 had been a very hot year in Chablis, and the wine right off the bat seemed heavy, lacking the vibrance of its colleagues. There also was something overtly mushroomy going on, which led me to believe it’s not going anywhere. We did have a discussion of the role of personal preference with these older wines, however, and it may be that my long experience with California fruitiness has prejudiced me against certain older white wines. Chacun a son gout, as usual.

Chablis was one of my go-to wines in the 1980s and I will always have a fondness for it, even if I don’t drink as much nowadays as I’d like. Nor do most Americans, it seems, and, as the U.S. is a very important market for domaines like Séguinot-Bordet, Jean-Francois and the Chablisians are criss-crossing the country, trying to persuade people to remember Chablis. My advice to them was to aim at the under-35 crowd, who seem so open to new drinking experiences, and communicate a very simple message: Chablis has been one of the most famous wines in the world for many centuries. There’s a reason why; no wine gets and remains famous for so long without possessing outstanding, unique qualities. They–these new wine drinkers–owe it to themselves to understand what makes Chablis so great. This is a pure, uncomplicated message, and it is made easier to digest by the fact that Chablis is Chardonnay, a variety everyone has heard of, not some grape type unknown to them.

There are hazards. Some people may have decided that Chardonnay is not for them. They will need to be convinced, and possibly, some of them cannot be. Their loss. Another hazard, which the Chablisians are intensely aware of, is the confusion in America over the use of the word “Chablis” on wines made largely from the Central Valley. This, as an issue, can be finessed, through a successful advertising campaign.

  1. Great post! After following your blog for years, it was a pleasure to finally meet you.

    It’s a shame that such a fine wine has to be evangelized here. Nevertheless..great advice for the Chablisians on how to penetrate the US market.

  2. Very nice thoughtful article, Steve. As lead singer and driver of the winnebago for the anti-alcohol lynch mob, my comments on your blog often have taken a contrarian nature.

    I think your advice to the Chablisians is spot on. Today’s $12 Muscadet drinker in his twenties is the perfect target for Chablis when he’s spending $25 to $40 for a bottle in his thirties.

  3. Gallo still sells “Chablis” in US? (I didn’t know and asked Gallo but no reply for 3 hrs…tired of waiting for reply).
    Is 2009 a typo? “…personal preference with these older wines…” Did you taste older vintages, too?

  4. Kathy, I don’t know if Gallo does, but wineries that were using it before U.S. outlawed it were grandfathered in, so I’m pretty sure there’s still American “chablis” out there. Re: older wines, I meant that the 09 tasted tired to me, like an old wine. We didn’t taste anything older than the 2 ’08s, which were fresh and wonderful.

  5. Steve,

    I have always loved the crisp, clean character of Chablis. Excellent that you are giving them some help, but don’t forget those two other non-Chardonnay AOC’s in the same area. One is red in Irancy: Pinot Noir with a hint of César (one of those Roman grapes), the other is Sauvignon St-Bris. Both are just a mile or two from Chablis Premier Cru and Petit Chablis vineyards.

    I am fairly sure that Carlo Rossi still has a Chablis labelled wine, which of course is owned by Gallo.

  6. Steve,

    Kudos for recognizing and promoting the greatness of Chablis. This is a fanstatic region just waiting to be (re)discovered with wines of outstanding class, distinction and terroir. The geology there is fascinating, and most people don’t realize that all of the Grand Cru vineyards are on a single hill just adjacent to the town, making understanding the area and wines much more manageable in scale than say Burgundy for those still coming up the curve.

  7. Advice to Chablis. Separate your branding from the rest of Burgundy. Anyone who has driven from Beaune to Chablis will tell you that these aren’t the same place.

What is a Camera Aperture?

While it may sound like a fancy, complicated term, a camera aperture is simply the "eye" of the camera. The topics discussed below will enable you to get more comfortable with the use of the aperture and the frequently asked questions regarding this important part of the camera.

How is the Aperture Measured?

The diameter of the aperture is measured in what are called "f-stops". A lower f-stop number opens the aperture wider and allows more light into the camera. A higher f-stop makes the camera's aperture smaller, preventing light from entering the sensor. F-stops are expressed in 3 different ways: f/8, f-8, and 1:8. They will be located on the lens barrel as little numbers engraved onto the front. Remember, the smaller the f-stop, the larger the aperture opening. This can be confusing with many novice photographers as it seems it would make sense to make the larger f-stops correspond with larger openings.

How is the Aperture Used?

Using a wide aperture is a great technique for many close-up shots. A wide aperture tends to result in a photo that is sharp around what the lens is focusing on and blurred in other areas. Smaller stops, or larger f-stop numbers, result in a longer depth of field, allowing all objects to be in focus at the same time. A fast shutter speed will require a larger aperture to be sure that there is enough light exposure, and a slow shutter speed will normally require a smaller aperture in order to avoid excessive exposure. Lenses of low f-number are popular with photographers who work with little light and typically have no opportunity to introduce extra lighting with a flash or lamp.

What is the "Aperture Priority Mode"?

Digital cameras have modes that can automatically control the aperture and speed of the shutter. There are also many that allow you to manually control these functions. When you use aperture priority mode, you change the size of the aperture and the shutter speed is automatically manipulated in order to maintain proper exposure.

What is Right for You?

There is no perfect aperture. It all depends on the type of picture that you are attempting to take. Do you want to focus on a flower in the front and blur out the flowers in the background or would you like to focus on all of the flowers at the same time? There are many things to take into consideration while choosing an aperture. Aside from the aperture, shutter speed and the amount of lighting dictates the quality of shot. If you have a person that you are focusing on in a group of people, a small aperture value would be your best bet.

While it may seem to be confusing in the beginning, the only way that you will become more comfortable with the use of apertures will be with practice and hands on use. Practice on shooting different objects to see which is the right aperture for your needs.

Tensions rise ahead of summit

VIENNA • The March 7 summit in Brussels will see Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and leaders of the 28 European Union states discuss the progress of last Novem- ber's EU-Turkey deal aimed at cutting the flow of migrants.

Under that deal, Turkey agreed to tackle people smugglers and improve conditions for Syrian refugees, in exchange for three billion euros (S$4.6 billion) and speeding up Ankara's EU membership bid.

But alarm is growing in EU capitals as thousands of migrants are still reaching the Greek islands from Turkey, after more than one million of them made the perilous journey last year.

Failure to make progress at the summit will spell "disaster" for the bloc, with its passport-free Schengen zone at risk, EU migration commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos said last week. Relations with Turkey have been increasingly tense, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatening to flood Europe with refugees if Ankara did not get more help during a November visit by EU president Donald Tusk and European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker.

    BELGIUM: The latest EU country to suspend rules allowing the free movement of citizens across most of Europe's internal borders.

    GERMANY: It has restricted rail travel from Austria and put checks on cars.

    AUSTRIA: It has expanded border controls to all frontiers.

    FRANCE: Controls were introduced after last November's Paris terrorist attacks, which raised fears that extremists could infiltrate the migrant flow.

    SWEDEN: Introduced identity checks last November for travellers from Denmark. Controls were put in place on Oresund Bridge, a link with Copenhagen.

    DENMARK: Fearing migrants trying to pass through to Sweden would be stuck, it imposed new controls on people trying to enter from Germany.

    NORWAY: Although not an EU member, it is in the Schengen area and has imposed controls.

Mr Tusk said EU members had to "fully apply" the Schengen border code and restore effective controls on the EU's external frontier in Greece. He said he was opening a new chapter of their struggle with the migration crisis called "Back to Schengen".

"It's not an easy decision but the truth is there is no alternative to (Schengen)," said Mr Tusk. "We must face together the humanitarian consequences of our decision. The country which we must support in particular is Greece.

"A test of our European-ness will be, on the one hand, going back to Schengen, and on the other, (having) a readiness to stand by Athens during these hard times."

But in reference to unilateral new measures by Austria and countries through the western Balkans to limit migrant numbers, Mr Tusk called on EU members to "coordinate more and better".

"It is natural that important decisions are taken in the capitals but we need to make sure these decisions are coordinated so they are effective, reinforcing each other, instead of eroding trust further," he said.

Fiberglass Grating Streamlines Safety for Rail System

photowpNetwork Rail owns more than 2,500 railway stations covering over 20,000 miles of track and 40,000 bridges and tunnels within the United Kingdom. Network Rail chose to improve shunter safety and cut maintenance costs by replacing concrete walkways and structures with fabricated pultruded fiberglass DURADEK® grating walkways and shunter patios adjacent to the train tracks. The installation was a major achievement for the rail industry and exemplifies the overall acceptance and use of composite materials.
Pipex px® incorporated a design which limited disruption for Network Rail, drastically reducing installation time by incorporating off-site prefabrication and only working through the weekends, in ten hour intervals, to ensure minimal disruption to the public and to the rail link. 1 ½” DURADEK ® I-6000 was the material of choice due to its non-conductive properties, outstanding corrosiopipexpx-Shouthwark-Walkways-001wpn resistance and durability against nature’s elements.  The anti-skid grit surface of the FRP offered a great contrast to the worn concrete structures and walkways, both of which were hazardous during heavy rain and in the winter.
The fiberglass shunter patios and walkways have eliminated all concerns regarding the pitting and spalling of the previous concrete structures and are expected to last at least sixty years, according to Pipex px® estimates.
