Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) July 03, 2014

Phoenix homeowners can now protect their most valuable possession with a product made with them in mind. Tank Paint, the worlds toughest exterior paint, has been engineered to combat the high temperatures and harsh sunlight that can fade or crack exterior paintand with temperatures on the rise, now is the time to install.

Republic West Home and Tank Paint of Phoenix have created a product that combines ceramics, hydro-thane and resins which all allow for a thicker application and a maximum product life. The key compounds that allows for heat resistance are the elastomeric resins which block heat and provide flexibility. Flexibility is essential for paint because of the contraction and expansion of materials due to temperature changes.

The paint not only resists cracking and fading, but chipping and peeling as well. Formulated especially for the Phoenix market, Tank Paint has proven itself against not only heat and sun, but also against humidity and low temperatures in other parts of the world.

CHIPLEY - The Chipley Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is reopening two grants for property improvement. The CRA Special Improvement Grant reopened yesterday after residents reported having trouble finding two licensed contractors to submit bids as required by the application.

The grant, which provides 90% of funding, up to $1,000, for residential properties, is intended to help cover facade improvements such as painting and awning and door replacements for homes within the CRA district.

"Five people submitted documentation, but unfortunately, no one qualified because they couldn't get two bids," said CRA Administrative Assistant Chris MacBlain. "What we're hearing is that local contractors didn't feel the amount of money was worth submitting a bid."

CRA members are considering changing the program requirements to make the projects more attractive to licensed contractors.

Applications for the grant are being accepted now and will continue through August 31.

A $6,000 grant for commercial property is also up for grabs, but MacBlain reports she's given a few applications out but hasn't received any back.

The grant is geared toward making electrical improvements for businesses within the CRA district.

The CRA district runs through the core of downtown and in northeast Chipley.

CRA members are also planning a trip to Mossy Head this month to visit a splash pad . Board members hope to place a similar attraction at Gilmore Park on Church Avenue for local children to enjoy.

For more information on the CRA, contact the Washington County Chamber of Commerce at 638-4157.

CONSTRUCTION on the $8.4 million Burrendong Dam safety upgrade has reached the half-way mark, according to State Water.

CONSTRUCTION on the $8.4 million Burrendong Dam safety upgrade has reached the half-way mark, according to State Water.

The project involves construction of an auxiliary spillway as well as strengthening and painting of the existing spillway gates to enable the dam to better withstand extreme floods.

Project manager Guresh Ahuja said to date contractors had established the site, carried out 60 per cent excavation to make way for the auxiliary spillway and commenced strengthening and painting of the spillway gates.

"This upgrade follows the first phase where the main dam wall and saddle dams were raised 1.8 metres to bring the dam into line with NSW Dams Safety Committee standards for extreme floods," he said.

"The two separate contractors Bardavcol and McElligott Partners have sourced subcontractors and suppliers from Wellington, Dubbo and Orange for the earthmoving and gate painting works representing a direct investment in the region's economy.

"Around 30 people are working on the project at the moment, with one third from the local area and most being accommodated locally."

The spillway automation and control systems are also being upgraded as part of the works.

The project will not affect access to the recreation area and will not impact the permanent storage capacity of the dam.

SALEM - Art in concrete.

It almost sounds like a contradiction in terms. Highways, autobahns, bridgeworks, tunnels, speedway walls, barriers and superstructures of all sorts, are called to mind.

But for Rick Lobdell, a 1992 Salem High School graduate who earned a masters of fine arts degree from Savannah College of Art and Design, concrete is a medium he is turning into an art form.

Rick Lobdell, a 1992 Salem High School graduate, has transformed his love of art into a high-demand business that uses concrete as its medium in central Tennessee. A 1996 Mount Union College graduate, Lobdell heads an internationally recognized company called Concrete Mystique with four employees and several subcontractors. Lobdell also creates his own artwork through paintings he sells. The dolphin pool, set onto a concrete floor, is where the concrete and art combine to present unique, highly-desired accents for high-end homes. (Contributed photo)

He works from a 6,400 square foot office and warehouse in Nashville, Tenn. He owns the company, called Concrete Mystique Engraving and considers himself part of a pretty elite group.

"I only know of five or 10 people in the world who treat it as an art form." Lobdell said.

"The average concrete guy has no idea of what I'm doing and I've never poured concrete."

Today, with two companies - he also owns a concrete furniture company called Gallery Mystique - Lobdell has four direct employees and four or five sub-contractors.

He moved on to Savannah after graduating from Mount Union College in 1996 to study at Savannah where he met his girlfriend who is now his wife, Natalie.

A molecular biologist, she headed toward Vanderbilt in Nashville.

NEW ALBANY Following an hour of debate and a failed motion to accept a higher bid the New Albany Redevelopment Commission hired the Louisville firm Myers-White Inc. to restore the Ekin Avenue Recreation Center Monday.

Last week, the body failed to take action on a contract after commission member and New Albany City Councilman Dan Coffey pushed for the local contractor Upton Pry Inc. to be chosen for the job.

Upton Pry and Myers-White were the only contractors to bid on the project, but when taking into account the alternate options, the New Albany firms price was $26,000 more than Myers-White.

Still, Coffey said it would be worth it to hire Upton Pry because they employ local people and pay local taxes.

The commission consists of five members, and only three were present during last weeks meeting. With Coffey voicing his disagreement with selecting Myers-White, commission President Irving Joshua declined to entertain a motion to vote on the bids.

The entire commission was on hand for Mondays meeting.

The bulk of the base bid was for roof replacement and repair work, and Upton Prys proposal was $9,000 cheaper than Myers-Whites bid. But counting the alternate options which include exterior painting and masonry work Upton Prys bid was for $302,000.

Thats compared to the total bid of Myers-White, which was $276,000 and eventually accepted by the commission.

The biggest difference in the bids was for the painting, as Upton Prys proposal for the work was quite a bit higher than Myers-White, officials said.

It looks like we have apples and oranges, said commission member and Councilman John Gonder of the difference in the painting bids. A representative with the engineering firm hired for the project, Michell Timperman Ritz, said the painting price may have just been a mistake on the part of Upton Pry.

Sports Fan Insider

Keep up with your favorite teams and athletes with daily updates.

KCBS News AnchorStan Bunger(who along with KCBS Sports AnchorSteve Bitkerare the on-air duo known asKCBS Sports Fans) offers his unique sports analysis.

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) America is going gaga over soccer. All of a sudden, were painting our faces and destroying workplace productivity so we can follow the mens national team at the World Cup.

So now that the USMNT (thats insider-lingo, apparently required of anyone who REALLY knows whats up) has reached the Round of 16 by losing to Germany, its time to start acting like Americans.

For starters, why do red-blooded Americans suddenly go all Euro when talking about the score of a soccer game? Two-nil? Please. Two-to-nothing is the way we talk here. Try going to AT&T Park and talking about the four-nil final score of Lincecums no-hitter. See how that works out for you.

The list seems endless. We already offend foreign ears by calling the game soccer (because we all know what football really is), so why do we feel compelled to call the surface on which its played a pitch? Its a field, same as it is when you play anything else on it.

And for crying out loud, when someone scores a tying goal, they tied the game up. Leveling is for building contractors.

If you insist on using un-American sports language, then why not go all-in? The Brits call a game a fixture. Here, we keep our fixtures in the bathroom or kitchen. They also refer to the standings (as in, Whos in first?) as the table. Here in this country, a soccer table is that game in the basement of the frat house.

I could go on, but by now, I hope you get the point. Its bad enough that the greatest country on Earth saw its citizens dancing in the streets after its national team lost its way into the next round of a soccer tournament. Must we surrender our sporting language, too?
