Burger King is planning renovations to its Smithfield restaurant.
Landowner CCJ LLC of Williamsburg and applicant David Burdette of Raleigh, North Carolina, have filed for an entrance corridor overlay review, which will go to Smithfields Planning Commission on Jan. 9.
The Burger King is located within the Smithfield Plaza shopping center off Benns Church Boulevard, one of five roads that forms the towns entrance corridor overlay district. Businesses looking to build or renovate within 500 feet of the road are required under Smithfields zoning ordinance to use materials appropriate to town character as determined by the eight-member Planning Commission.
The application proposes to leave much of the stone veneer that covers the buildings lower portion, save for areas surrounding the entrance and drive-thru window, which are slated to be covered in fiber siding patterned to resemble wood. The proposed renovations would also entail removing and squaring off the blue mansard roof overhang and replacing the restaurants lighted signage with an updated logo.
The interior public areas are also to be remodeled and the restaurants parking lot is to be resurfaced. The restaurants drive-thru is to remain open during the renovations.

A long corridor will be provided for entrance into the building for activities after hours and on weekends. Humboldt Independent photo.
By PHIL MONSON At their most recent meeting, the Humboldt School Board approved architectural plans for the new location of the alternative learning center. Chris Behrens of Sande Construction Company in Humboldt was on hand to review the final drawings of the remodeling project. We had to enlarge the bathroom area in order to better serve the students in the education center. And we also have to have handicap-accessibility as well. That was the cause of enlarging the one, Behrens said. Other than that, we havent really put any frills into this plan. We wanted it to be simple and inexpensive, but anything isnt inexpensive anymore, Humboldt School Superintendent Jim Murray said. We tried to leave the existing building as much as it was, like the large open space in the front for the classroom. That saved quite a bit of money, Behrens said. The alternative learning center has a maximum of 20 students in the program. It has room for more. The Fire Marshal says it could handle up to 49. The board unanimously approved the design plans as presented at the meeting. Superintendent Murray gave other construction updates and the board also heard reports on drainage district assessments in Dakota City and food service feedback and proposed changes.

Design approved for alternative school remodel | The Humboldt Independent - The Humboldt Independent |
The City of Emporia awarded a $292,236 bid to Evergreen Construction for a remodel of the Emporia Police Department Wednesday morning. The bid includes three alternates and falls under the $400,000 project budget.
According to Facilities Director Kevin Hanlin, the remodel will open more space for staff workers behind the counter and protect the area with level three ballistic walls and service windows. The work is similar in scope to the improvements made in the Municipal Court lobby and the Water Department lobby.
Ben Moore Studio Architecture and Planning worked on the design with Police Chief Ed Owens.
In addition to the base are three alternate bids for the following:
Existing PD offices to receive new carpet and base.
Existing Corridor to receive new epoxy and base.
Existing Court Reception Lobby to receive new epoxy and base.

The following is a summary of Right Heart Remodeling After Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Patients With Pulmonary Atresia or Critical Stenosis With Intact Ventricular Septum, published in the November 2023 issue of Cardiology by Irwin et al.
In this study, the researchers focused on evaluating the changes in the right ventricle (RV) following pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in patients diagnosed with pulmonary atresia or critical pulmonary stenosis with intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS), comparing these changes with those observed in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). While the remodeling of the RV post-PVR is well-documented in TOF, its characterization in PA/IVS patients remains underexplored. Their investigation utilized cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to analyze the RV changes in these patient groups.
The study involved a retrospective cohort, including PA/IVS patients who underwent PVR at Boston Childrens Hospital between 1995 and 2021. This cohort was matched with TOF patients by age at PVR in a 1:3 ratio. The primary outcome was assessed through median regression modeling, focusing on the post-PVR indexed RV end-diastolic volume. The analysis comprised 20 PA/IVS patients (cases) matched with 60 TOF patients (controls), with a median age at PVR of 14 years.
Interestingly, pre-PVR-indexed RV end-diastolic volume was similar across both groups, although cases displayed higher RV ejection fraction before the procedure (51.4% versus 48.6%; P=0.03). Furthermore, pre-PVR RV free wall and left ventricular (LV) longitudinal strain were alike, while LV midcavity circumferential strain was notably reduced in cases (15.6 versus 17.1; P=0.001). Following a median post-PVR period of 2 years, both groups exhibited comparable reductions in indexed RV end-diastolic volume. However, cases continued to exhibit higher RV ejection fraction (52.3% versus 46.9%; P=0.007) and less reduction in RV mass (4.5 versus 9.6 g/m2; P=0.004) compared to the TOF group. Despite no significant changes in post-PVR RV and LV longitudinal strain values, LV circumferential strain remained lower in cases. The findings suggest that PA/IVS patients demonstrate similar RV remodeling patterns after PVR, highlighting specific differences such as reduced RV mass reduction and relatively higher RV ejection fraction in comparison to TOF patients. Further exploration focusing on diastolic parameters is warranted to fully understand these distinctive outcomes.

Every homeowner has a defined budget he or she can allocate toward a remodeling project. Even if funds were unlimited, its still in a homeowners best interest to secure the best value for each dollar invested in a remodeling project, ultimately increasing the value of the home.Consider these tips from the National Association for the Remodeling Industry to help save money on your next project.1. Determine how far your budget will go. Create a wish list of everything you want to accomplish. Disregard cost and simply write down everything you can dream of. Prioritize items from must haves to nice but not necessary. Find a contractor who will work with you to determine whether your wish list is attainable for the funds you are willing to invest in your home.2. Decide how to handle budget overages. If you cant get far enough down the list with the available money, you could choose to stop the process and continue saving, investigate financing options, re-evaluate your wish list or consider material substitutions.3. Make material selections you can afford. Every project will have a set of required materials, but there are options when it comes to variety, style and quality, such as: Cabinets: Subtle changes like forgoing custom rustic cherry cabinets with plywood cabinet sides for regular cherry cabinets with furniture board sides can achieve the same look at a lower cost. Countertops: Natural stone and quartz countertops are popular, but advances in the design options for lower cost countertop materials have rejuvenated their popularity, too. With the proper usage and protection, nearly all countertop materials can support everyday needs. Millwork: Painted millwork has dominated the market for many years and solid maple is the preferred choice because the tight grain allows for a beautiful, smooth surface. However, the cost is multiple times that of vinyl and equally appealing when finished properly. Flooring: Advances in synthetic materials make them difficult to distinguish from natural products. Synthetics generally come with lower cost and more durability, making them a simple substitute for natural products like stone, wood, brick and marble.4. Pay attention to project details. Its critical to ensure every detail of labor and material is specified in the agreement with the remodeler. If its not included in the written agreement, its likely not included in the work scope. Ask your remodeler what labor and materials are not included and determine what additional expenses youll likely incur to complete the project.5. Ask how you can help reduce costs. Talk to your contractor about tasks or materials you can provide that would reduce the project cost without affecting its schedule. This might include jobsite cleanup or obtaining certain materials the contractor would otherwise spend considerable time securing.6. Plan ahead for project timing. Ask for a potential timeframe for completing the project, as well as any factors that could affect the schedule so you can anticipate costs, such as eating out more often while the kitchen is being renovated or renting living or storage space.7. Know how youll resolve disputes. Because of the unique stresses induced by remodeling projects, its a good idea to determine before you begin how disputes will be resolved, such as adding an arbitration clause to the agreement that eliminates expensive legal representation. A few deep breaths and a solution-minded approach can also save more than money if conflict arises.Find more money-saving advice for your next remodeling project at remodelingdoneright.com.
