Beacon Street tri-level offers city views, all-new kitchen

WAWARSING The new owners of the Nevele have already spent about $750,000 trying to bring gambling to the 564-acre resort.

Michael Treanor has sunk $500,000 into redevelopment everything from architects to consultants to lobbyists and paid as much as $250,000 in town, county and school taxes since spring.

That doesn't include the $1.63 million Treanor spent in April purchasing the faded jewel at the foot of the Shawangunks. The Nevele has been closed since 2009.

But that's a pittance compared with the overall price of rebuilding a modern resort and casino: $400 million. The project will be finished only if the state awards a casino permit to the Nevele. There's just a 50 percent chance of that happening, Treanor has said.

The Nevele is competing alongside two Sullivan County plans for up to seven gambling permits statewide. State legislators must first pass a resolution, then voters have their say in a referendum.

A revitalized Nevele with 450 hotel rooms, a 150,000-square-foot casino and 1,500 full- and part-time employees would change the face of Wawarsing, a project impact study found. "(The study) has identified several potential large impacts with a high probability of potential impacts occurring," the town's evaluation concluded.

The town's population, annual budget and energy usage would likely grow by more than 5 percent as a result of the project, according to the study.

A resort and casino could result in major traffic problems along Route 209. And additions such as a seven-deck parking garage, ballroom and indoor water park could ruin majestic views from the Shawangunk Ridge. Treanor has promised a "green" roof for the garage to help it fit into the landscape.

Residents can comment in a public session at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18 at Wawarsing Town Hall. Written comments will also be accepted until Oct. 25.

All in 1 Handyman Services, serving Irvine, and Newport Beach, Orange County, helps homeowners recycle, restore, replace, and repair salvaged items.

Orange County, CA (PRWEB) October 05, 2012

Companies are popping up today selling old reclaimed wood with years of weathering and turning the material into something beautiful like picture frames, park benches, fences, planter boxes and yes, even doors for master bathrooms, says Steve Bowman, owner of All in 1 Handyman Services. Recently a client from Irvine found a website describing step-by-step how to build a sliding barn door. We were asked to install the custom built door with barn door hardware in their master bedroom. The door installation provided an incredible finishing touch on the master bedroom remodel.

If homeowners think outside the box, many salvaged items can be reused in the home as seen in these photos. For example, old wooden lockers from a warehouse can be turned into upper cabinets or discarded flower pots can be used as pendant lights adapted to a track light system. Old fireplace mantles, vintage light fixtures, faucets, or metal ceiling tiles can all be installed for a unique look. Some of the older products are actually better quality as well. The creative and artistic homeowner can even turn recycled materials into works of art or art installation in their homes.

Where can recycle materials and products be found? Homeowners may be surprised at all the resources available. Aside from salvage stores and companies that sell reusable home products, check out antique stores, auctions, garage sales, flea markets, Craigslist, and demolition companies. Dilapidated barns are often a good source for wood that can be used in flooring, and wall or ceiling treatments.

Steve enjoys helping homeowners and interior designers execute their vision by providing installation of recycled materials, art installation, or window treatments. He can restore, replace, or repair anything. His wide range of handyman services includes remodeling, painting, finish carpentry work, gates, fences, drywall, flooring, electrical work, plumbing, window installation, concrete work, deck staining, and much more.

Christopher P. Corradi (SUBMITTED)

Criminal complaints were filed before District Judge Thomas Capello charging Christopher P. Corradi, 33, and Lisa F. Squires, 28, with three violations of home improvement fraud, deceptive or fraudulent business practices, theft by deception and two counts of conspiracy.

Corradi and Squires, both of whose last known address was 1770 Wheatfield Court, Middletown, did business as $Price Is Right$ Paving and Sealing, the district attorney said.

Arnold said anyone with information about their whereabouts should call their local police or the Lebanon

Lisa F. Squires (SUBMITTED)

In April, Corradi went to the victim's Beechwood Avenue home and offered to seal her driveway for $400, Arnold said. Corradi told the victim her home needed other repairs.

Corradi and Squires were paid more than $34,000 to do basement remodeling, mold eradication, weatherproofing, gutter cleaning and other jobs, the district attorney's office said. They told the woman the work was being completed in the basement, but she could not go downstairs to inspect it on her own because of her physical limitations.

Investigators said they found what they characterized as "little more than a haphazard coat of paint" had been applied to the basement paneling.

Jonestown Bank & Trust Co. staff became

The woman believed the expenses were legitimate and told the bank staff that extensive cleanup and renovation was being done because of damage from last fall's flooding.

Couple charged with scamming Lebanon widow out of $34K

LEBANON COUNTY--

The scam began in April of 2012 when Corradi and Squires operated a business under the name $Price Is Right$ Paving and Sealing, according to Lebanon County District Attorney David Arnold .

Court documents show the victim wrote a total of 14 checks between April 2012 and Aug. 2012 to Corradi and Squires totaling $34,800,00 dollars.

Both Corradi and Squires were paid to do basement remodeling, mold eradication, weatherproofing, gutter cleaning and other repairs, according to court documents.

Most of the work was being completed in the basement area and because of the victim's physical limitations, she was unable to see what was actually being worked on, Arnold said.

Investigators found no evidence of any work being done in the basement aside from a haphazard coat of paint had been partially applied to the basement paneling, according to court documents.

After becoming suspicious of the victim's spending practices, her bank began monitoring her account, investigators said.

Believing the expenses were legitimate, the victim told her bank she was having work done on her home as a result of last fall's flood. The bank notified the Lebanon County Area on Ageing after becoming concerned that the victim was being defrauded.

Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of both Corradi and Squires. The pair has ties to Middletown.

Anyone with information regarding their whereabouts is asked to contact police at 717-272-2054.

Pair Scam Elderly Woman, 84, out of $34,000 in Lebanon

SIOUX FALLS, SD -

Experts suggest that anyone planning a home remodeling project does plenty of homework. If that's the case, this weekend's Showcase of Remodeled Homes could be considered the study guide.

"We had all this wonderful space downstairs but it was quite outdated.We didn't use it very frequently and it was somewhat cold," Dani Pattison said.

The lower level of the Pattison family home isn't what it used to be and they consider that a very good thing.Last year, they decided to completely remodel it. Now, the basement features a modern fireplace on one end and a well designed wet bar on the other. And everything between was also updated.

The Pattison's chose to update their home and stay. Others do so to add value before selling.

"Everybody wants to put their own touch on their belongings and on their home and make it theirs. That's the great thing about remodeling, is when a homeowner does buy a new home, they can remodel and make it their own," Jason Seykora of Seykora Remodeling said.

Among remodeling projects in KELOLAND homes, kitchens are number one. Remodeling the bathroom is the second most popular. No matter what you remodel though, those who do the work say getting your homework done before hand is the most important step.

The Homebuilders Association is hosting its Showcase of Remodeled Homes this weekend. The event will let anyone researching remodeling trends see the transformation of eleven homes.

"We did do a lot of looking around and focusing on certain things. We found some things that we really liked and tried to pull colors and ideas from there," Pattison said.

"That's the great thing about the Showcase of Remodeled Homes is you can come out, see a bunch of products and it may lean you one way or the other in the end," Seykora said.

(JTA) Five sukkot designed by Polish architects are being displayed in a public square in Warsaw.

The Poland office of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which initiated and organized the Warsaw sukkot exhibition, had the temporary Jewish ceremonial dwellings placed at Grzybowski Square in the Polish capital.

The idea was to find a more innovative and open way to educate the general public about some Jewish customs, Karina Sokolowska, JDC country director for Poland, told JTA.

Sukkot are built as a reminder of the biblical tale of the nomadic period which the Israelites spent after their liberation from Egyptian slavery.

The exhibition, Sokolowska added, also was meant to serve as an inauguration for the Warsaw Jewish Community Center, though -- like the ancient Israelites during their desert wanderings -- that center is without a permanent address.

At this moment the JCC is still operating without walls, but hopefully will soon find its permanent location, Sokolowska said.

Piotr Lewicki, an architect from Krakow who designed one of the sukkot with his business partner Kazimierz Latak, described the structures as natural additions to Warsaws chaotic urban landscape.

Public spaces in our cities are usually ruled by mess, he told JTA, adding that Warsaws streets are no strangers to shacks and stalls.

Instead of a traditional canopy of branches, the two architects from Krakow used wicker, a common material used in traditional Polish masonry.
