Man's death sheds light on state's prescription drug abuse epidemic - Video

The city of Anchorage and the Matanuska Susitna Borough are wrestling over the problem of disposal of the Boroughs septic waste. ABorough waste treatment facilitycould beyears away, while Anchorages wastewater utility has had its fill of the Boroughs sludge. Back in the 1980s, the Borough did construct a waste treatment facility, in Houston, but the state shut it down due to groundwater impacts. Since then, pump trucks have hauled Valley septic sludge to an Anchorage facility, and thats not a solution, according to Helen Munoz.

Munoz is a dimunitive woman with an energy level that belies her 84 years. Shes at a local Palmer coffee shop, discussing one of the passions of her life : septic sludge and how to deal with it.

Look at what we are doing to the ocean, look at what we are doing to the ocean, look at what we are doing to Cook Inlet. Give me a break! Are people blind

Munoz says too much human waste is going into Cook Inlet. Munoz, whos son still runs the familys A1 Septic, has been in a decidedly unsexy business since her family moved to the Valley from New York in the early 1970s. She says since that time, the Borough has built new schools, roads, not to mention thousands of houses to meet a growing population demand, yet has neglected one basic human need.. waste disposal.

You dont build a house and ask to use your neighbors bathroom for the rest of your life.

Mat Su has no Borough -wide sewer system, although the cities of Palmer and Wasilla have their own sewers and treatment plants. Most residences in the Borough have septic tanks, which must be pumped out every year, or two. And the septic sludge, as it is called, is hauled to Anchorage in pumper trucks for treatment at municipal facilities.

Mike Campfield, an environmental engineer with the Borough, along with Munoz, is a member of the Boroughs wastewater and sewer advisory board.

One of the projects that is at the top of our list of priorities is to develop a septage and leachate treatment facility. The board in the past has recommended that the Borough Assembly pursue funding in the form of both a grant and a DEC backed loan, he says.

In December, the advisory board approved a Borough Assembly resolution authorizing the Borough to ask for a $22 million loan from the state Department of Environmental Conservation for design and construction of a sewage treatment plant in the Borough. Campfield says, there is still a long way to go on the project. But the arrangement the Borough has with Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility may be coming to an end. Brett Jokela is AWWUss general manager.

We dont have any deadline, were not going to turn them off. But on the other hand, we are not in control of the timeline for reauthorization of our permit, either, Jokela says. Jokela says the utilitys board wants to halt taking septage from the Valley. He says that decision is driven in part by the status of the utilitys EPA permit.

Kansas City, Mo. (PRWEB) February 11, 2015

Hotel Phillips, a historic boutique hotel located in the heart of downtown Kansas City, unveiled its new guest room to the public, the Artist-in-Residence (AIR) Room, at the Hello Art 5th Anniversary Celebration on February 6, 2015. Each night the room is reserved, Hotel Phillips will donate a portion of the proceeds to Hello Art, a local arts organization offering fun and informative events that bring together all those in the local community who appreciate and want to support the arts.

The inspiration and design behind the AIR Room came from current Artist-in-Residence, Madeline Gallucci. During the month of January, Gallucci transformed a junior guest room suite into a brilliant piece of work, now called the AIR Room. The room serves as an inspiration to those who appreciate the arts community and the city. The room encompasses the local Kansas City vibe and atmosphere, incorporating Kansas City landmarks and visuals that make the city a great place to live, work and play.

Gerald Rappaport, general manager of the Hotel Phillips, calls the room a unique experience and says, We have always had a strong passion for supporting the local Kansas City arts community, and the AIR Room gives us a chance to further tell that story and share our rich art culture with hotel guests. The Hotel Phillips plays a central role in connecting visitors with the local arts community and encourages them to take notice of this local movement that is such a vibrant part of Kansas City.

Gallucci said she was inspired by sights in Kansas City such as reflections of the iconic Kansas City Power & Light sign, the pastel January sunsets, and the commotion of the streets on a Friday night.

I wanted to bring these experiences into the interior space and context of a hotel guest room. Ive strived to detail these romantic urban observations within my painting, and let hotel guests temporarily experience and live in this transitory space, making their own observations about the city and the art.

The AIR Room is just one component of Hotel Phillips Artist-in-Residence program. Now in the fourth year of the program, the Hotel Phillips annually selects a new artist to showcase his or her work at a studio inside the hotel, as well as throughout the hotel and within its award-winning restaurant, 12 Baltimore.

This initiative is just one of many arts-focused programs the Hotel Phillips supports. In addition to supporting and partnering with Hello Art, Hotel Phillips is also hosting several art workshops throughout the month of February which are open to the public. To view the full list of events, please visit Hotel Phillips website at http://bit.ly/HotelPhillipsArt.

Located in the epicenter of the local arts community, Hotel Phillips is proud to support local artists, musicians and arts organizations within Kansas City, and play a part in continuing to build upon the citys reputation as a leading arts community.

To book your stay in Hotel Phillips new AIR Room today, please visit the website at http://www.hotelphillips.com or call (877) 704-5341.

MUKWONAGO, WI When the Gatlinburg, TN, Hard Rock Caf announced its move to nearby Pigeon Forge, they let the community know that the restaurant would not only be expanding, but refreshing its image. An exterior sign with Banker Wire mesh combines a modern look with the restaurant's familiar logo.

The Hard Rock Caf has had a restaurant in Eastern Tennessee for more than 14 years. It announced the move from Gatlinburg to Pigeon Forge in February 2014. A desire for a larger space and free parking motivated the relocation, but the restaurant also presents a more contemporary look in its new space. The 12,000-square-foot building seats 302 guests and offers a private event space and a live music stage.

Designers of the space specified woven wire mesh to serve as a modern backdrop to the familiar Hard Rock Caf logo featured on the exterior sign. General contractor VWCA Construction, Madisonville, Tennessee, directed them toward Banker Wire mesh.

"Banker Wire was more competitive in pricing than the other companies being considered by the design team," says Joshua Croft, of VWCA Construction. "Banker Wire's determination to assist me instilled confidence in specifying their product."

Banker Wire S-15 mesh was hoisted 40 feet in the air for its installation. The S-15 pattern, situated behind the restaurant's logo, features a wide flat wire that is crimped in continuous waves. The undulating stainless steel wire reflects the neon of the Hard Rock Caf's sign, helping the restaurant's exterior exude excitement.

The Pigeon Forge Hard Rock Caf opened in May 2014.

Banker Wire Mesh Helps Tennessee Hard Rock Caf Begin Next Act

Coopers seafood restaurant in Pittston is for sale for $1.5 million, but owner Jack Cooper said business is great, it is not closing and hes not in a hurry to sell it.

Cooper, 61, said he and his 60-year-old brother Paul have been in the restaurant business since they were 9 years old and they want more time off to spend with their families and to take a vacation.

While the landmark Pittston restaurant is listed for sale for $1.5 million on the Greater Wilkes-Barre Association of Realtors website, Cooper said if he does not get that amount, he wont sell it. If the right person comes along, Cooper said he would sell the Pittston restaurant so they could have more time for themselves.

The Coopers also operate a seafood restaurant in Scranton that he said they are not selling. Their father, John Cooper, started the Scranton restaurant in 1948.

Coopers seafood restaurant at 304 Kennedy Blvd. in Pittston was owned and operated by the Cooper family since 1992. Jack and Paul Cooper work at the Pittston and Scranton restaurants.

The restaurant business is seven days a week. Anyone who works in the restaurant business could tell you that, Cooper said. Its a lot of work having two major businesses that do millions of dollars each in business. I want to go on a vacation like a normal person but were going to continue to run that (Scranton) restaurant.

More than 60 full-time and part-time employees work at the Pittston restaurant and more than 120 work at the Scranton restaurant, Cooper said.

Cooper said if he does sell the Pittston location, he hopes someone would continue to operate the restaurant.

I love the Pittston location, Cooper said. Its in great shape. Theres a gorgeous view and its busy.

Charles Adonizio of Atlas Realty, which is selling the property, would not comment.

Liberty Center names two new tenants

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, Ohio - A Funny Bone Comedy Club and a Flip Side gourmet burger restaurant are the latest tenants coming to Liberty Center, the $350 million mixed-use project under construction in Butler County.

An executive with the Columbus-based co-developer of the project identified the tenants in a speech Tuesday to Commercial Real Estate Women of Greater Cincinnati.

Restaurants are important to the project because they really for us act as another anchor, AnneMastin, executive vice president for retail real estate at Steiner + Associates, said in an interview with WCPO following her talk. It brings shoppers into the center that are not competitive with specialty retailers. It brings people in that spend a long time in the project.

Mastin said a pair of new to the market restaurants will be announced in the next few months. A steakhouse and Mexican restaurant will be on the ground floor of the AC Marriott Hotel property, one of several key Liberty Center attractions previously announced.

The 65-acre project at I-75 and Ohio 129 will include a Dillards department store, the regions largest Dicks Sporting Goods store, along with the regions first Kona Grill, a 13-screen Cobb Theatres CineBistro and an AC Marriott Hotel.

An October 8 opening date has been announced for the project, which is modeled on Easton Towne Center near Columbus.

A press release describes Flip Side as a chef-driven burger, shake and craft beer concept using exclusively Ohio raised, grass-fed beef. The comedy club at Liberty Center will be the 11th Funny Bone location, featuring a complete menu of food and drinks.

Mastin is a 20-year veteran leasing executive who has filled more than two-dozen retail centers in her career. Mastin said restaurant tenants generated more than $100 million in revenue at Easton Towne Center last year, more than any department store anchor.

Liberty Center will have 62,000 square feet of restaurant space in its first phase.

It is a very good time for the restaurant business in America because of a lot of reasons that are macro-economic, shesaid. Gas prices are down. People feel they have more disposable income to go out for dinner. You cant buy your nightly meal off of the Internet.
