The 62nd annual Hanover Builders' Show is set to kick off today at its new location The North Hanover Mall.

The recent venue switch has raised some vendor's eyebrows, but others see the change as a chance to share their trade with a more diverse group of local homeowners and to continue giving back to the community.

George Hubbard, event organizer from the Exchange Club, explained the new changes and how they could possibly present a few challenges.

The vendors can only set up before the mall opens, which doesn't allow for much time to set up elaborate displays.

Because of the new regulations, some had to buy new displays this year, including four-year vendor Holly Marshall, co-owner of The Beveled Ege Marble & Granite, Inc.

Telegraph Hill Apartments for Rent and Localization

Telegraph Hill is today primarily a residential area, much quieter than adjoining North Beach with its bustling cafs and nightlife. Aside from Coit Tower, it is well known for its gardens flowing down Filbert Street down to Levi Plaza. The Telegraph Hill of 2013 is known for supporting a flock of feral parrots, primarily Red-masked Parakeets, descended from escaped or released pets. The flock was popularized by a book and subsequent documentary, both titled The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill.

In the midst of a brutal winter, imagining Kincardine at the full height of summer can offer a brief respite: a nice breeze coming off the lake, a group of teenagers jumping off the pier, the streets busy with tourists and young families headed to the Monday market, and the seasonal sidewalk patios set up outside Queen Street restaurants and packed with diners.

Okay, so the last detail may not be part of your image of Kincardines downtown, at least not yet.

A new tourism initiative approved by Kincardine council at its Feb. 19 meeting will allow downtown restaurants to set up sidewalk patios in front of their storefronts.

Community services coordinator Steve Murray told council the plan would mimic similar programs in other cities - the sidewalk patio having become a trend in the last couple of years - and offer a chance for businesses to increase their revenue and enliven the streetscape.

Business owners would be responsible for setting up temporary sidewalks on the parking spaces in front of their stores. Murray proposed charging a $200 fee for businesses to apply to set up a sidewalk patio each year, and an additional monthly fee of 25 cents per square foot to lease the space taken up on the sidewalk and in the parking space. In its report, staff recommended the fees be waived for the first year to encourage businesses to try it out.

Being someone who works downtown, I would personally appreciate being able to sit outside for lunch, Councillor Candy Hewitt said. And I know in other communities with policies like this, those seats are always the first to be filled.

There was some concern over the fee structure, and Councillor Ken Craig asked how staff arrived at the $200 fee.

Murray said it was the median fee found in other municipalities with a similar bylaw, but noted they would want to revisit it after they had a better idea how much it would cost to administer the program.

I dont agree with waiving the fee, Craig said. There is a cost to doing business. He recommended council charge 50 per cent of the proposed fee in each of the first two years so there was at least some cost recovery if businesses quit after a year.

Councillor Jacqueline Faubert thought the $200 fee was pretty steep and noted the median staff considered included the fees in big cities like Kingston, Ottawa and London.

DuPont and Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) are the joint winners of the 2014 Sustainable Bio Award for Bio-Based Product Innovation of the Year. The two companies were recognized today at the 2014 World Bio Markets Conference in Amsterdam for their pioneering work to achieve the previously impossible: the cleaning power of warm-water clothes washing at cold-water temperatures.

This collaboration brought together DuPont a world leader in science and innovation and P&G a world leader in consumer products to develop the next generation of cleaning technology. DuPont applied an unprecedented scientific process to build a new enzyme technology that delivers better cleaning power at lower wash temperatures. This innovative engineering method discovered an optimal enzyme, also known as a protease, which matches the performance of detergent at 60F as the previous generation of product at 90F. This new protease improves cold water wash performance allowing consumers to reduce energy use by washing in lower temperatures the most energy-intensive aspect of laundering clothes. DuPont worked with P&Gs scientists to incorporate this protease into their liquid detergent products, which they are marketing around the globe.

This protein has the potential to become one of the most widely used engineered enzymes in the world, said William F. Feehery, president, DuPont Industrial Biosciences. With Procter & Gamble, we were able to combine the resources and talents of our global teams to completely re-imagine this product from the ground up. The result is a breakthrough for consumers that delivers superior fabric cleaning in cold water.

The new product enables unprecedented environmental benefits for the detergent industry. Approximately 45 billion loads of laundry are cleaned in U.S. homes annually, producing roughly 40 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2). If all of those loads were run in cold water, the energy saved from not heating the water would reduce CO2 emissions by 32.3 million metric tons the equivalent of the annual electricity use of 3.7 million U.S. homes. For consumers, that means lower energy bills and more money in their pockets.

DuPont and P&G received the award at the 9th annual World Bio Markets Conference. The conference brought together industrial, academic and policy experts to provide a comprehensive look at the opportunities in the bio-based economy, including end-user markets for renewable fuels, bio-based chemicals and bio-based products.

DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.
