More than eight per cent of the Wellington region's shop space is vacant, Bayleys real estate research has revealed.

It reports a wide disparity in vacancy rates with lower levels in prime locations but the overall rate has risen from 6.5 per cent to 8.2 per cent since 2013.

Bayleys also reported a growing influence of internet shopping, growth in hospitality and service retailers and a decline in traditional retailing.

However, bulk retailing is set to grow with a proposed expansion of Wellington Airport's retail park in Rongotai and new development in west Petone.

A-grade retail property fared best with a vacancy rate of 5.3 per cent, while vacancies in B and C grade retail properties sat at 9.8 and 10.5 per cent.

The retail mix continues to be dominated by cafes, restaurants and takeaways along with clothing retailers.

Research analyst Ian Little said it was noticeable that service retail occupiers were increasing their share of space.

"Hairdressers and beauty salons are on the increase and becoming quite prolific in main retail centres."

There was a strong demand for specialist destination type retail properties but tenants were waiting until properties that met all their requirements came up.

Bayleys reported an unexpected rise in vacancies in the CBD's Lambton Quay premier retail precinct with the rate rising from 3.7 per cent in 2013 to 12.5 per cent in 2014. The increase was largely the result of earthquake damage and strengthening, and the completion of fit outs which brought premises back into the rental pool.

Half a century ago, the shuttered Tucson Citizen newspaper featured a photo of Spencer and Steven Smith, two of the newest kids on the block, fresh from Nebraska.

The boys were pulling weeds, cleaning yards and delivering newspapers as they found ways to earn a few bucks in their new desert home.

Over the next several decades, the brothers moved on to even bigger projects building and remodeling homes. They built homes for themselves and a home for their parents, and teamed up for other construction projects in Tucson.

The Smith brothers are at it again, putting finishing touches on a new home they are building for Spencer and his wife, Katheryn Smith. It is likely the last home the brothers, now in their 60s, will build together.

Its probably the time we see each other the most, Steve said of building homes together.

Its just fun, Spencer said. It gives you a lot of satisfaction. Every stage of it is just fun.

There are plenty of grins recalling a recent day that Steve, 65, operated a backhoe and Spencer, 67, was on shovel-and-hose duty, keeping the dust down.

Its almost like being a kid again an adult sand box, Spencer said.

After having worked on other projects together, the brothers in 1991 built Spencer and Kathys first home, before children entered the picture.

The kids Graham, 21, and Hannah, 20 are now in college, and it was time to downsize. Working with Long Realtys Sue Hill, who sold them the lot for the home they built in 1991, the Smiths in the fall of 2013 located a pristine 1.3 acre lot in the Catalina Foothills.

January 24, 2015 - Northwoods League (Northwoods) Battle Creek Bombers Battle Creek, Mich. - The Battle Creek Bombers have announced their first signings to the 2015 roster.

Dre Gleason and Cayce Bredlau, two 2014 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-Americans from Austin Peay State University, will debut with the Bombers this summer. In addition, four other All-Americans will be making their way to Battle Creek this season - giving the Bombers a total of six All-Americans on their Opening Day roster.Further information on these other players will be released in the coming weeks.

OF Cayce Bredlau (5'10", 190, Sophomore, Bats: L/Throws: L)

Bredlau was selected to the Ohio Valley Conference All-Freshman Team in addition to being named an All-American in 2014. As a staple near the top of the Governors' batting order, he led the team in on-base percentage (.444) and stolen bases (14), while ranking second with a .331 batting average. The lefty's bat picked up in OVC play, as he led the Governors with a .468 OBP and a .371 batting average during the 30-game conference schedule. While patrolling the outfield, he recorded just one error in 53 games, pacing the Governors. Bredlau also recorded 40 runs, 12 doubles, two home runs, and 21 runs batted in.

"Cayce's speed is unbelievable, especially in the outfield," Field Manager Robert Robinson said of Bredlau. "His range is some of the best in the country and that is going to be a huge asset for our pitching staff, especially at C.O. Brown stadium. At the plate, he finds ways to get on base and can use his speed to put himself into scoring position."

1B Dre Gleason (6'2", 210, Sophomore, Bats: L/Throws: R)

Gleason hit in the five-hole for much of his first season with Austin Peay. He launched four home runs, knocked in 29 runs, and recorded nine doubles, while starting 49 of Austin Peay's 56 games in 2014. He ranked second on the team in fielding percentage (.984), seven points behind Bredlau. Like his teammate, Gleason's offensive production also picked up in conference play. The Governor started all 30 games, batting .276 and hitting each of his four of his home runs against conference competition.

"Dre is a big, physical lefty with a powerful bat that will be critical in the middle of the order," Robinson said. "I expect him to have a great year on a young Austin Peay team and carry that momentum into the summer."

Bredlau, Gleason, and the Bombers' four other All-Americans start their summer at C.O Brown Stadium on May 26th, opening day of the Northwoods League season when the Bombers host the defending NWL Champion Lakeshore Chinnoks. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

Bombers to Announce Six All-Americans as First Additions to 2015

Road construction continues Wednesday in the northbound lanes of Interstate 359 as the Alabama Department of Transportation repaves the road.

The reorganization of the Alabama Department of Transportation has proven to be a boon to Fayette.

ALDOT has put a new area office in the city the only new office it is adding in Alabama under a reorganization plan announced last year.

Last week ALDOT announced that it is buying a 52,000-square-foot building located in Fayettes industrial park. The new area office will house highway administration, maintenance, construction and materials operations for a six-county area.

ALDOT, which oversees the states roads and bridges, estimated it would invest more than $6 million during the next three years in Fayette. The move also will bring new jobs to Fayette. How many jobs has not been determined, said ALDOT spokesman Tony Harris.

The Fayette area office will have 110 to 135 ALDOT employees but that number will include managers, supervisors and others workers who will transfer from other ALDOT locations, Harris said.

He noted that ALDOT has lost around 500 employees through retirements and attrition since 2011. Those positions were not refilled, so even if 100 positions were filled, ALDOT still will have around 400 fewer positions than five years ago.

Jobs that might be filled could include clerical, maintenance workers, laborers, warehouse employees, mechanics and equipment repair workers and engineers, according to ALDOT release.

ALDOT said its new organizational structure should provide increased decision-making authority at the local level and more accountability and efficiency.

It is going to have a major economic impact over the next three years for our whole community, Fayette Mayor Ray Nelson said of the new state office.
