Bloeser Carpet Closed
After 137 years in business making it the oldest floorcovering company in the state John Bloeser Carpet One is shutting its doors.
Starting with its Long Beach retail store at 5510 Britton Drive, which closed to customers earlier this month, Carpet One will be taking phone calls and cleaning out the space through Feb. 28. Call (562) 430-7501 for details.
Carpet Ones Los Angeles Warehouse, which will remain open for now, also can assist customers and direct people to the nearest Carpet One dealer. Call the warehouse at (213) 627-4738.
Owner Jerry Bloeser, the fourth generation of the family business, has been running the company by himself since his brother and partner, John Bloeser, died last year at age 74. The pair had worked together for about five decades.
In Long Beach, if I introduce myself to someone, they say, Oh, youre with the carpet people, Jerry Bloeser said. Our family has a tradition of maintaining this business.
John C. Bloeser, their great-grandfather, started the wholesale side of the business in 1879. The two brothers expanded by starting the retail side of the business; they also were the longtime owners and founders of a now-closed restaurant in Long Beach called The Fish Tale (it was replaced in 2014 by E. J. Malloys).

TEMPORARY traffic lights have been erected on the A72 road west of Peebles after deterioration to a retaining wall was discovered.
Share this image
The westbound lane of the road will be closed at Neidpath from today (Friday 6 February) for safety reasons.
This will allow the wall to be assessed by Scottish Borders Council (SBC) and determine the extent of the deterioration.
Following this assessment, the Council will develop options and identify costs of repairing the wall.
At present, there are no timescales on how long the lane closure will be in operation, with further information available after the assessment of the wall has taken place.
However, the Council does recognise the inconvenience to drivers and is working to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Projects possible thanks to federal Gas Tax Fund
February26, 2015 ThunderBay, Ontario Infrastructure Canada
Residents of ThunderBay are benefitting from a series of local infrastructure improvements, thanks to contributions from the federal Gas Tax Fund. Joint investments from the federal and municipal governments supported a number of projects in 2014, including local road infrastructure rehabilitations, railway crossing upgrades, and the design of a new retaining wall on one of the city's most prominent streets.
In total, six local roads were improved throughout the city. Cornwall Avenue was completely reconstructed to include the addition of new sewers and water mains. Leslie Avenue and Lithium Drive were both repaved, as were Arthur Street, Begin Street and Edward Street; the latter will also boast new curbs, sidewalks, street lights, water mains and storm sewers in spring2015. The newly rehabilitated roads will help improve traffic flow and increase safety, while sewer upgrades will contribute to protecting the environment and residents' well-being.
Meanwhile, upgrades were also completed on the Canadian Pacific (CP) Island Drive and the Canadian National (CN) Mountdale Avenue spur track crossings. Work included the addition of new rail and new asphalt intersection surfaces to improve rideability and ensure safe and smooth travel for trains passing through the city. Planning and design has also begun on the replacement of a 100-year-old retaining wall on High Street. Replacing the wall will reduce long-term maintenance and repair costs while ensuring motorists' safety.
"Our Government is pleased to provide ThunderBay with flexible infrastructure funding that allows the city to support a multitude of projects. These local road and rail improvements, made possible by the Federal Gas Tax Fund, will ensure that drivers and train passengers can enjoy safe and smooth travel for years to come. The federal Gas Tax Fund will continue to aid municipalities like ThunderBay, and continue to generate economic growth across Ontario."
- The Honourable Greg Rickford, Minister of Natural Resources, Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario and Member of Parliament for Kenora
"We are pleased that the Federal Government is supporting our efforts to address our City's infrastructure needs. Improvements to infrastructure such as bridges, sidewalks, street lights and water mains play a critical role in the vitality of our City and contribute to quality of life for citizens, as well as visitors. This funding represents an ongoing investment in a healthy, vibrant, connected and strong City."
- His Worship Keith Hobbs, Mayor of ThunderBay

Thunder Bay celebrates local infrastructure improvements
A proposed upgrade and repair project on Alley Street in Alma has been estimated at $250,000, according to engineering reports given to the city council.
The project would involve road, retaining wall and sewer line work in close quarters with neighboring property owners.
Its not a typical job by any means, said Lisa Fleming, an engineer employed by Ayres Associates of Eau Claire, Wis.
The project also would involve obtaining work easements from a couple of property owners before the city could take construction bids. City officials plan to handle easement talks. Fleming said it was possible the city could award a bid contract in April.
Retaining wall work would involve use of manufactured stone blocks resembling limestone. Wall work was estimated at $100,000.
The city council in December approved spending up to $20,000 for Ayres Associates to engineer a wall design. Alderman Gary Ruff voted against it and Alderman Dave Earney abstained.
Other 2015 street projects under consideration were Cedar Street from Hwy. 35 to Second Street, and resurfacing of the south city boat-landing ramp.
Sealcoating of Vista Drive and River Street also were on the agenda. Cedar Street needs to be studied first, because it has a cement storm sewer running under it.
MONCTON The Moncton Fire Department is advising residents to clear snow from their front and back decks to keep them from collapsing.
Don McCabe is the deputy chief in charge of operations and sayssnow building up on older decks have been causing them to collapse.
Decks in older buildings because decks in older buildings maybe didnt meet the standards of newer buildings and they could be weaker and may not be able to take the load, he said.
McCabe also says snow-covered decks inhibit members from responding to calls.
Our fighters wouldnt want to climb over five footsnow banks to try to get to your back door, he said. Its nice to have both entrances cleared.
But keeping the decks cleared has been a challenge.
Alex Morton lives just outside Moncton in Boundary Creek andsays its hard to keep up cleaning his back deck with all the snowstorms.
We had it cleared off the first few storms no problem, he said. We had it all cleaned off and then we got that big dump last weekend and weve managed to clear a path so we can go out and clear off the dryer vent but thats about it.
Mortons deck isnt far from the ground but hesays it could still collapse under the snows weight.
It could probably go but getting the snow off the back deck is a lot tougher than getting it off the driveway, he said.
