CIRCULAR Head Deputy Mayor John Oldaker has questioned the move by the Department of State Growth, formerly DIER, to erect fences along Temma Road to protect rare orchids.

CIRCULAR Head Deputy Mayor John Oldaker has questioned the move by the Department of State Growth, formerly DIER, to erect fences along Temma Road to protect rare orchids.

The fence on the eastern side of the road is 750metres long and the fence on the west is slightly shorter.

A spokesperson from the department said there are several threatened orchid species that are only found in the Tiger Creek Flats part of the West Coast, one of the species has less than 40 known individuals in existence.

NEW FENCE QUESTIONED: People from the Marrawah region have been going to Circular Head Deputy Mayor John Oldaker with complaints about the fences along Temma Road that have been put up to protect rare orchids.

"One environmental mitigation measure is the construction of roadside post and wire fences on both sides of the road, which will minimise the opportunity for vehicles and pedestrians to access areas that contained threatened orchid species," the spokesperson said.

"The fences are located in a similar position to typical roadside safety barriers beyond the guideposts and are designed to break off on impact to reduce the risk to motorists."

Cr Oldaker said there were more safety concerns that the department did not consider when creating the fence, which he describes as similar to a bridge barrier.

"The issue will be that there is cattle running about down there and if a beast gets in on that road, and they will, at night time once you put lights on stock and they've got no way to get out then it becomes a road safety issue," he said.

Cr Oldaker said he had people from the Marrawah region come to him with complaints about the fences.

The shift to smartphones and tablets means enterprises must change how they think about employees, competitors and risk

In some ways, veteran CIO Sam Lamonica is an old dog learning new tricks.

As the top technology strategist at Rosendin Electric, an electrical contractor in Silicon Valley, Lamonica has had to reverse his views on everything from the iPad to rogue mobile apps. He's had to place big bets on mobile device management (MDM) technology, quickly create a mobile environment for app development and support, and adopt emerging mobile platforms practically overnight.

"We're starting to see convergence happening, and it's hard to keep up," Lamonica says.

Winning in the brave new world of mobility sometimes means casting aside tried-and-true best practices. Mobility has turned companies, markets and people on their heads. There are huge opportunities and equally daunting challenges that demand new ways of thinking about employees, competitors and risk.

It's no wonder many companies' mobile strategies and execution fall flat. Only about two out of five companies have made good progress in their mobility efforts, according to a recent Accenture survey of nearly 1,500 C-level executives. The majority of mobile strategies fall short of expectations, while some outright fail.

Lamonica, however, was able to avoid this fate -- in part, by embracing change.

Developing iPad Apps Aren't So Crazy After All

Only a few years ago, Lamonica told one of his C-level peers that he thought developing iPad apps in the construction business was crazy. A few months later, he was doing it.

Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins held a news conference today to mark the first day of demolition of the vacant Clarion Hotel in South Toledo.

This has been a long time coming, Mayor Collins said. The building at at 2340 S. Reynolds Rd.has stood empty since 2009 when the previous owners, Florida-based Toledo Hotel Investment Group LLC, defaulted on $2 million in loans. The hotel has been described as a public safety hazard and has been broken into, vandalized, lived in illegally, and caught fire last month. The city is the current property owner.

The demolition is scheduled to take 12 weeks and is being carried out by Carleton, Michigan-based Homrich company, who won the contract with a $434,000 bid.

Crews tore out a few trees from in front of the hotel at the ceremony today; demolition on the exterior of the building itself cannot be carried out until asbestos abatement has been performed on the interior.

Mayor Collins called the demolition the beginning of ablight free Council District 2.

The city council has set aside $350,000 from the capital improvements fund and obtained a $200,000 Brownfields grant from the U.S. EPA to pay for the demolition.
