Berry skips union debate
Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.mini storageM.Sept. 06--For 90 minutes Thursday, two mayoral candidates engaged in heated debate with an empty chair.That's because incumbent Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry decided not to attend the Mayoral Public Safety Forum hosted by the police and firefighter unions. The mayor called it a "made-for-media publicity stunt" and opted instead to attend the ceremonial groundbreaking of the new Interstate 25/Paseo del Norte reconstruction project.Candidates Paul Heh and Pete Dinelli, however, showed up and largely agreed on topics posed to them by elected state and national representatives and retired police and fire department officials."As your mayor, I would never ... disrespect you like the mayor has disrespected you today," Dinelli told the crowd of about 100 union members and others at the Carpenters Union Training Center. "That empty chair is a reflection of the empty leadership the city has had for the last three and a half years."Heh also took the mayor to task during the debate, which addressed topics including the mayor's role in appointing department chiefs, collective bargaining rights, federal automatic budget cuts known as "sequestration" and privatization of public services.In response to a question about whether the City Council should have a role in the appointment of public safety chiefs, Dinelli and Heh said they thought appointment of the fire and police chiefs should be left to the mayor.Heh said Berry chooses not to show up at debates where the crowd might disagree with him."Every forum I show up at, the mayor doesn't attend unless it's held by his so-called friends," Heh said.The candidates have had three forums in recent weeks, including one held by the local commercial reaself storage-estate development association. All three candidates showed up for those events.Berry said by phone Thursday that he didn't think the debate's location and timing allowed for a productive debate, since it was held in a union headquarters an hour before the groundbreaking. He said the carpenters union is behind the large, red "Shame on You" signs held during labor strikes at small businesses, so the venue was inappropriate for a balanced debate on public safety."That doesn't mean we can't have really meaningful discussions about public safety. I'm more than willing to have those conversations," Berry said. "... My door has been, and continues to be open to the APOA leadership" and other unions, he said.The union and the mayor have been at a negotiation impasse during his tenure over raises and the use of tax dollars on union business, and the number of officers has dropped in the meantime. A union-funded committee uploaded a video to You-Tube on Wednesday criticizing the mayor for the decrease in officers, especially in specialized units.Berry said he thinks the video was a waste of time and resources that could have been better spent on finding a solution to the three-and-a-half-year negotiation impasse.As for his opponents, the mayor said they haven't posed any "big ideas" in the last three debates they've had. The candidates are scheduled for three more TV debates before the Oct. 8 election."Quite frankly, I haven't seen my opponents bring any big ideas," he said. "I've only heard them tear down the police department and the city."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)

澳博路�項目加碼至250億 夥Versace建酒店料2017年落成
澳博(880)夥拍國際服裝品牌Palazzo Versace興建酒店,儲存為其路�綜合娛樂場度假村打響頭炮,澳博董事局主席蘇樹輝昨日表示,以Palazzo Versace概念興建酒店,是度假村其中一個酒店項目,目前仍有一至兩個項目洽商中,整個項目以非博彩元素為主,但投資預算則加碼至250億元,料整個項目於2017年落成。 澳博於今年5月獲得澳門政府批出,位於路�約7.04萬平方米土地,以發展綜合娛樂場度假村。蘇樹輝表示,逾7萬平方米的土地相對其他路�項目面積較細,所以該公司與常務董事梁安琪商討,向她租用其在路�南面擁有的土地,若兩者能將土地合併發展,土地面積可增至20萬平方米。蘇樹輝續稱,如果兩者能共同發展,梁安琪擁有的土地都會以非博彩元素為主。租梁安琪土地合併發展梁安琪表示,她擁有的路�南面土地,暫時構思用作興建主題公園及酒店,主題公園會有3個組合,她笑言3個組合的元素都可照顧可老、中、青的需要。面對澳門博彩業務的競爭,蘇新蒲崗迷你倉輝表示,已不能單靠博彩元素吸引顧客,故此澳博位於路�綜合娛樂場度假村,會以非博彩元素為發展方向,博彩元素只佔整個項目土地面積約5%,並會再引入一至兩個酒店品牌項目。與Palazzo Versace合作興建酒店的計畫,澳博負責建築及管理,Palazzo Versace則提供酒店的設計概念。至於賭�數目方面,澳博就該路�項目向政府申請經營700張賭�,蘇樹輝認為是否增加賭�,需要視乎政府的安排。不過,經營賭�的人手成本不輕,故不是多賭�就有利。成本上漲 加碼投資50億投資成本方面,蘇樹輝指出由於建築成本和人工上漲,所以投資金額較早前預算200億元,加碼至250億元。他續稱,投資金額大部分以內部資金支付,只有小部分為銀行融資。另外,Palazzo Versace行政總裁Gian Giacomo Ferraris表示,該集團計畫在3至5年上市,目前正積極擴充發展以配合上市,業務亦錄得雙位數字增長。澳博昨日收報20.1元,升1.9%。mini storage

Air traffic from Jordan to Libya returns to normal

San Antonio Express-News Roy Bragg column
Source: San Antonio Express-NewsSept.self storage 06--To put a twist on an tired cliche, the Lord can be sneaky.He pops up where you don't expect him. You can find proof in four plain-Jane buildings in a hidden patch of scrub oak near Garden Ridge.Trinity Oaks isn't an awesome monument to faith and the wonders of God. Nor is it a vanity church project where well-heeled parishioners drop a few grand every summer to get their picture taken in some undeveloped nation.Instead, it's a testament to human decency. Fueled by donated meat and volunteer elbow grease, this place churns out 50,000 pounds of meat monthly. It's not tied to a church but works with faith-based organizations to distribute food to hungry people in San Antonio, South Texas, along the border and in northern Mexico.Just to be sure that we're clear here -- Trinity Oaks is producing food that goes directly to the tables of thousands of needy households and institutions from here to Monterey. It isn't lobbying government or other groups for help. It isn't making political statements. It's not pointing fingers, and it's not sitting on its hands.Trinity Oaks is making sure people are fed. You might not necessarily agree with its evangelical bent -- it only works with groups that minister while they feed -- but you can't quibble with its work.There are no visual clues about Trinity Oaks' mission at its remote meat plant. No crosses. No stained glass. No prayer books."There's nothing sacred out here," said Chuck Byrge, who runs the plant that constitutes most of the operation. "This is about ministering to people and feeding them."He's the only full-time staffer of the nondenominational project. His salary is donated by one of the organization's many benefactors. The group has no administrative costs, he said, so every other donated dollar goes to the production of food.Trinity Oaks contracts with various municipalities to take deer that are captured for public safety reasons. Hunters will also donate meat to the group during the season.Area ranchers raising exotics routinely cull their wildlife herds, and many call Trinity Oaks to collect the meat. "We'll get a call out of nowhere from a rancher who's got 10 nilgai," Byrge said. "He'll say it's ours if we come get it."Trinity Oaks also works with major retail chains such as H-E-B to accept more traditional fare, such as steak, beef and chicken.He showed me the walk-in cooler on a recent afternoon. They'd just taken a 3,000-pound donation of poultry from Tyson Foods. It was stacked along one wall. Another ton of meat hung from hooks or lined the other walls in boxes -- white-tailed deer, wild hog, nilgai deer, aoudad sheep, black buck antelope, water buffalo, zebra, axis deer. It was packed as chops, patties, fajita and stew meat.There's a receiving room where hunters can leave animals, as well as a smokehouse where meat is cured. The business end of the operation is the kitchen, where stainless steel tables, sausage stuffers, large grinders and power bone saws let Byrge and volunteers turn game into grub. I dropped in unannounced, by the way, and the place was spotless.Trinity Oaks started eight years ago. Founder Tom Snyder grew up as an outdoorsman. He wanted to give back, so he would take disadvantaged kids hunting. After the hunt, he'd pay to have the animals processed and donated to the kids' family. His wife, Nona Snyder, handled the books, and brother Michael Snyder helped with the hunting trips.Snyder's work was known around his church. When Byrge heard about it, he offered to process the meat for free.The group's original mission was to take kids and injured soldiers hunting and fishing. It's still a major part of the efforts, Snyder said. The group has built a wheelchair-accessible pier on the Texas coast. They've purchased three motorized wheelchairs that are customized to assist physically challenged hunters. And there's a fundraising effort underway to develop a fishing camp on the Guadalupe River .Food distribution grew out of those original efforts, Byrge and Snyder said.
