Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 10, 2014
The Midwest Roofing Contractor Association (MRCA), serving the interests of roofing contractors and the overall industry for the US Midwest, announces the launch of the Women in Roofing initiative at their 65th annual conference held in Dallas, TX. The launch of Women in Roofing (WIR) includes a leadership board of leading professional women who will forward the goals of the new group for mentoring, networking and education.
Visualized by current women roofing professionals, the organization will focus on networking for women within the industry with a focus on mentoring for incoming young women, professionals and business owners. With an increasing number of women owned roofing companies and women is C Suite positions for roofing publications, technology, distribution and manufacturing companies, the time is right to create a support structure that will not only mentor but provide ongoing education for career success in the industry.
This is traditionally a male oriented industry, stated Steve Little, president MRCA and Head Coach for Dallas, TX based KPost. When this concept was presented to me, I knew it was the right time to help launch this initiative. The MRCA has been active in developing enriching initiatives including our current Young Contractors Committee (YCC) and the MRCA/NRCA CERTA torch training program for roofers. As an industry we need to embrace the talent that is emerging both in our youth and in women who may not have traditionally thought of this as a career avenue.
As co-chairs of the new group, Shari Carlozzi, Hapco, National Sales Manager and Heidi J. Ellsworth, EagleView Technologies EVP of Marketing worked with Little and the MRCA to launch the idea of gathering Women in Roofing at the MRCA conference to form a volunteer organization. I have worked in the roofing industry for close to twenty years, stated Ellsworth. It is an amazing industry where you can find a balance between family and business. The group of professional women that are forming are power houses in the industry and will provide the energy and wisdom to create an organization that will provide excellent networking opportunities along with amazing mentoring and education for women throughout the industry.
The initial leadership committee will include Co-Chairs Shari Carlozzi, Hapco, National Sales MGR; Heidi Ellsworth, EagleView Technologies, EVP with the following leadership support from Alma Garnett, Convoy Supply, President; Mary Rhinehart, Johns Manville, President; Sheree Bagado, Owens Corning, Vice President, Customer Experience; Jill Bloom, Publisher Roofing Contractor Magazine; Karen Edwards, EagleView Technologies, Marketing Director; Pillar Garcia, Georgia Pacific, Sr. Mgr Analytics; Lindy Ryan, SVP Tecta America & incoming NRCA President 15-16; Monica Gwaltney, Diamond Roofing; Kathy Hendricks, ABC Supply; Helene Hardy Pierce, GAF; Rachel Pinkus, MRCA, Executive Director; Dene Ellie Founder No Roof Left Behind; Aileen Struble, KPost Company, SR EST and Jayne Williams, KPost Company, CFO & NRCA PAC Chair.
The inaugural reception for Women in Roofing for all women attending the MRCA conference at the Gaylord Texan Convention Center, Grapevine, TX Thursday, December 11th from 4:30 5:30pm. The Women in Roofing leadership Committee will meet Friday, December 12th from 10:00-11:30am.
About Women in Roofing Women in Roofing is a volunteer based organization with the goal to provide networking, mentoring and education for women roofing professionals. With a strong focus in mentoring and education for incoming women into the roofing industry, the organization will also create opportunities for continuing education, support and networking for professional success.

Midwest Roofing Contractor Association Announces Launch of Women in Roofing at Conference
But Bridich, who took over in October for Dan O'Dowd and Bill Geivett, saw no requirement to make headlines during a small, but high-profile, snippet of the offseason. Deals tend to happen with all the teams and all the game's media present, but Spring Training isn't until February and the season doesn't start until April.
Talks with the Mets about right-handed starter Dillon Gee weren't completed. The Marlins have attempted to pry defending National League batting champion Justin Morneau to be a left-handed-hitting threat at first base, but the notion exists that the Rockies want more than the Marlins are willing to offer. Still, the teams are communicating. The Rangers expressed interest in catcher Wilin Rosario, but appear to be putting more effort into acquiring a starting pitcher.
The Rockies, who are pushing for starting pitching themselves, were under no requirement to do something just because all the teams were together Sunday evening through Thursday morning.
Deals done: Diaz, 23, acquired from the Angels for backup infelder Josh Rutledge, has a fastball that averaged 97 mph during a five-game big league look last season and an intriguing slider.
LAA@CLE: Diaz fans Murphy for first career strikeout
9/8/14: Jairo Diaz gets David Murphy to strike out swinging for the first K of his career during his MLB debut
"There are two 'plus' pitches there, the fastball and the slider that he can throw for strikes and throw for outs -- swings and misses," Bridich said. "He greatly improved his ability to be in the zone over the past season. He got a cup of coffee in September so he knows what the big leagues are like, at least in September. He repeats well. In his delivery there's effort but everything is on line."
Diaz also has all of his Minor League options, so over the next three seasons they can develop him if necessary.
House, the Athletics' 14th-round pick in 2012, spent much of the year at Class A Advanced before making four scoreless appearances in Triple-A at the end of the season.

Rox happy with additions, have more to do
The Marlins solidified second base with the addition of Dee Gordon from the Dodgers. They also added two experienced right-handers, Mat Latos (formerly with the Reds) and Dan Haren (part of the Gordon trade).
Redmond talks about Marlins trading for Gordon, Haren
Marlins manager Mike Redmond talks about the club acquiring Dee Gordon and Dan Haren in a trade with the Dodgers
"We came into the Winter Meetings with a plan and had a good feel for what our club was and what our club needed," president of baseball operations Michael Hill said.
Miami dramatically upgraded team speed with Gordon, and Latos is a proven top-of-the-rotation right-hander. The two additions signal to the rest of the NL that the Marlins are serious about being in the postseason race.
A bold seven-player trade pulled off on Wednesday energized the Meetings for Miami. Gordon, an All-Star second baseman, was acquired along with Haren and infielder Miguel Rojas from the Dodgers for Andrew Heaney, Enrique Hernandez, Chris Hatcher and Austin Barnes.
The price to bring in Gordon was steep, but the team felt it was necessary to turn a weakness into a strength. Last year, Miami stole just 58 bases as a team. Gordon, meanwhile, paced the Majors with 64 steals.
Gordon takes over at second base, and he slides into the leadoff spot ahead of Christian Yelich, who led off in 2014. They will be the tablesetters for No. 3 hitter Giancarlo Stanton.

Rising Marlins make most of trip to swap meet

CHAMBERSBURG >> The borough got a first look at what the future of city hall may look like the first major renovation in 40 years.
Dennis Sowers from SGS Architects in Carlisle, presented a Queen Street Feasibility Analysis to council, which proposed a three-story addition on East Queen Street and a two-story addition to the south along South Second Street.
The plan proposes a public entrance that will allow visitors to reach all departments and have a landscaped plaza containing various plants and benches.
Using 2014 construction data, the architecture firm says it will cost roughly $240 per square foot for the new additions and $185 per square foot for the renovations of the existing facility. Using a 3 percent inflation factor, architects believe construction costs in 2020 will be $14.4 million.
The borough acquired the buildings at 216 and 220 E. Queen St. in July of last year for $275,000 and $220,000, respectively.
SGS recommended that by 2020 or 2021, selected departments and the utility support departments help fund a new addition next door on Queen Street.
"The utilities of the Borough have seen significant growth in personnel and legal and engineering complexity over the last half century, all while delivering state of the art services at some of the areas lowest utility rates," Stonehill said.
City Hall was built in 1830 and is listed on the U.S. registry of historic structures, Stonehill said. The last time the structure was updated was in 1957 and the police station was added in 1971.

Borough gets first look at proposed city hall addition
December 11, 2014 - Northwoods League (Northwoods) Willmar Stingers Willmar, Minn. - The Willmar Stingers are excited to announce four more returning players from last year's team, which will once again call the Beehive home in 2015. University of Minnesota players Dan Motl and Tyler Hanson, along with Jack Ross (Pepperdine University) and Phoenix Sanders (Daytona State College) are set join the Stingers for their second seasons in the Northwoods League.
Motl, a 6-foot-2 inch junior outfielder, proved to be a valuable asset in the outfield for Manager Drew Saberhagen and the Stingers in 2014. Motl was second on the team in stolen bases with 17 and in 43 games. He also had a .285 batting average with 43 hits and 14 runs batted in for the Stingers.
Hanson, a 6-foot-2 inch sophomore pitcher, saw most of his time with the Stingers coming out of the bullpen in 2014. In a limited role during the month of June, he pitched in 5 games, posting a 2-0 record in relief and didn't allow an earned run in nine innings of work. As a freshman with the University of Minnesota, Hanson had a 3-0 record in 14.1 innings of work.
Ross, a 6-foot sophomore outfielder, is set to build off a successful first campaign with the Stingers. Ross led the team in batting average at .361. Ross would have finished among the Northwoods League leaders, but didn't have enough plate appearances to qualify. In 41 games with the Stingers, Ross finished second in runs scored (39) on the team, had 11 doubles, 30 RBI, and 12 stolen bases.
Sanders, a 5-foot-11 sophomore pitcher was a mid-season acquisition for the Stingers and proved to be one of the best pitchers down the stretch. Sanders came in and provided some needed depth at the starting pitcher position, after getting much needed rest from a busy spring season. In two regular season starts for the Stingers, he went 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA. Sanders averaged just under a strikeout per inning pitched (13 IP and 12 K's). His success with the team landed him as Game 1 starter for the Stingers in the North Division Playoffs versus the Mankato MoonDogs.
"Having this many players return from the 2014 season is exciting," Stingers co-owner Marc Jerzak said. "We're looking forward to having these guys back and putting their stamp on Stingers baseball in 2015."
With these newest additions, the roster is currently at twelve players signed for 2015.
Field Manager Drew Saberhagen, as well as the Stingers organization will continue to build the roster for the 2015 season. Season tickets for the 2015 season are currently on sale. For more information regarding this press release please contact the Willmar Stingers front office at 320-222-2010 or visit http://www.willmarstingers.com.
The 2015 season is presented by Marcus Construction. From start to finish Marcus Construction will make your job easier and build a facility you will be proud of.
Phoenix Sanders, Tyler Hanson, Dan Motl, and Jack Ross round out the list of returning players who will look to build on successful campaigns last summer.

Four More Returners Commit to 2015 Stingers Season

Spurred by close scrutiny and virulent opposition to almost 9,000 square feet of proposed new development on the site of a dilapidated monastery in Inverness Park, Tim Westergren, the owner of the music streaming service Pandora, is pursuing further studies to submit to county planners to prove his projects merit.
Locals packed the Inverness Yacht Club last Wednesday to air their fears to the Inverness Association and representatives of Mr. Westergren and his wife, Smita Singh, who bought 135 Balboa in 2008 and recently completed their formal application to the county for a coastal development permit and design review. Comments on Wednesday evening centered on four topics: the proposed removal of 46 trees, the size of the planned second unit, the possible effects of the propertys water well on neighboring wells and the size of the overall project, which includes 14 bathrooms.
Around 10 or so people spoke publicly at the meeting. Nick Whitney, the president of the Inverness Association, which hosted the event, asked the crowd to signal their agreement with comments voiced by attendees on the four core concerns. Each time he asked, close to every hand in the room shot up.
Chris Stanton, who is managing the project with his East Marin-based Inverness Construction Management, responded to some complaints, but said he and a partner were there to listen so they could respond more fully at a future meeting. The owners themselves announced they would not attend because they were not prepared to make a formal presentation to the community without the additional studies and data that should be ready in early January.
Once all the materials are received, the county will schedule a hearing with the Planning Commission. A ruling could be appealed to the Board of Supervisors; if that panel also approves it, the project could also be appealed to the California Coastal Commission. (However, Wade Holland, the planning commissioner for West Marin, said on Wednesday that it was highly unlikely that the commission would hear an appeal of a home.)
The proposal
Hidden Dragon, L.L.C. has proposed a 5,494-square foot home; a 335-square foot garage; a 750-square foot second unit; a 1,316-square foot art studio; a 294-square foot meditation hut and pool house; a 673-square foot garage for the second unit; a 16,000-gallon swimming pool and two 5,000-gallon water storage tanks, totaling 8,927 square feet of new structures. (According to planner Heidi Scoble, that number is the building area. The floor area is 8,254 square feet because county code allows the applicant to omit the garage for the second unit in that tally.)
There are eight designated bedrooms in the application, but opponents argue there are 17 potential or functional bedrooms if a study, exercise rooms, meditation rooms and rooms in the art studio are included.
The sleek, modern two-story home sports flying roofs and a mixture of glass and wooden walls; a deck off the master bedroom hangs in the air above the descending knoll. The house is built into a hill, which obscures the lower level from the south view, according to the plans. The caretakers house is on the northern edge of the property, near Balboa.

Hidden Dragon plagued by four issues
December 11, 2014 - Major League Soccer (MLS) Montreal Impact MONTREAL - The Montreal Impact announced on Thursday that the club has signed Quebec-born
midfielder Patrice Bernier to a new contract. As per league policy, details of the agreement were not disclosed.
Bernier, 35, tallied 13 goals and 19 assists in 84 MLS regular season games, 73 starts, for a total of 6,470 minutes of play in three seasons with the club.
"I am very happy to be back with the Impact," said Patrice Bernier. "I would like to thank the organization for allowing me to continue with this project. I feel that there is a solid vision and some important additions in order to revive the team for the upcoming season. The objective will be to start the season strong, as early as the month of February with our Champions League matches."
"I am very pleased that we finalized a new deal with Patrice and I was confident that we would reach an agreement," said Impact head coach and director of player personnel Frank Klopas. "We want him to be with us in 2015 and have the chance to finish his career in Montreal."
In 2014, Bernier amassed three assists in 26 regular season games, including 20 starts, and 1,802 minutes of play. He helped the Impact win a second consecutive Canadian Championship, recording a goal and two assists in four starts and then took part in three Champions League group stage games, two as a starter.
In 2013, Bernier participated in the MLS All-Star game against A.S. Roma. He was also voted Impact team MVP and Communitarian in 2012.
He is currently ranked first in MLS club history with nine game-winning passes and 10 penalty kick goals, ranked second in goals and games played, third for assists and ranked fourth for matches started and minutes played.
He recently surpassed Eduardo Sebrango for seventh spot in club history with 157 regular season games played (MLS and second division).
At the international level, Bernier took part in two friendlies with the Canadian national team in 2014, bringing his total to 51 career games, including 38 starts. He crossed the 50-game plateau with the Canadian selection against Jamaica on September 9 in Toronto.
