It's been generations since a high-rise building had its debut on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, but the skyline is finally in for a dramatic change.

A local developer hopes to transform a homely corner of the city's famed commercial corridor early next year by leveling a drab one-story retail center at 4th Street and Broadway. In its place would be a 34-story apartment skyscraper more than twice as tall as most other buildings in the historic core of downtown L.A.

To be built at a cost of nearly $150 million, the apartment and retail complex called Broadway @ 4th would house 450 units and fill in a key block in gentrifying downtown L.A., developer Izek Shomof said.

To market observers who saw the city's former elite streets of Broadway, Spring and Main become run-down and plagued by drugs and crime during the latter decades of the 20th century, it's remarkable that an extravagant upscale apartment tower would even be built in the neighborhood, much less one that would stand taller than City Hall.

"It's a new day for Broadway that large-scale construction is even proposed," said property preservationist Adrian Scott Fine, director of advocacy for the Los Angeles Conservancy. "It wouldn't have even been on anyone's mind 10 years ago."

Most buildings in the historic core date to the early 20th century. The most recent high-rise was an office tower completed at Spring and 6th streets in 1961. Soon after that, Fine said, many businesses began leaving the city's historic downtown blocks for newer office buildings on Bunker Hill and other blocks near the Harbor Freeway.

But developer Shomof has enjoyed success in recent years renovating old office buildings on nearby Spring Street and turning them into apartments served by hip restaurants, bars, nightclubs and shops.

"I have over 2,000 units with no vacancy," he said of his properties around 7th and 8th streets. "Why not go for another 450?"

Shomof recently submitted plans for Broadway @ 4th to city officials and hopes to get the go-ahead to start construction early next year. The developer and his architect face the challenge of coming up with an appropriate design for a new building in an old part of the city.

The site lies in several overlapping city land use zones where development is restricted, property consultant Hamid Behdad said. Among the zones are the Broadway Theater and Entertainment District, the Bringing Back Broadway Corridor and the Historic Preservation Review Area.

The deck cleaning specialists at Renew Crew of Northwest Arkansas are offering a limited time discount on their 3-step wood cleaning process. This Renew Crew process instantly revives most decks by gently removing dirt build-up, mold, and mildew. Over time, this grime can destroy the finish and compromise the wood of decks leading to costly repairs. While renting a power washer or hiring a standard power washing crew may seem to get the job done in the short term, these cleaning practices on a wood deck can actually do more harm than good in the long run.

With the Renew Crew 3-step wood cleaning process, the finish is preserved and the wood on the deck is sealed from exposure to more dirt build-up, mold, and mildew over time.

The first step is a foam solution which attaches itself to the dirt and mildew that is damaging to the deck. This solution removes it without the use of chlorine, which is commonly used to bleach wood and can be harmful to children, pets, and the environment.

The second step includes a rinse with a carefully calibrated power wash system that won't damage the wood and finish of the deck.

The third and final step of Renew Crew's deck cleaning service entails adding a seal of polymer, which prevents the harshness of sunshine and rain from damaging the deck. The seal also helps to maintain the appearance and protect the deck from potential harsh "in-between" cleanings by the homeowner.

Renew Crew is dedicated to keeping children, pets, and plants safe while giving aged and worn wood decks the appearance of being new. All 3 steps of Renew Crew's deck cleaning service uses only environmentally friendly cleaning solutions and gently calibrated pressure washers to renew your deck now and protect it later.

You could be forgiven for feeling a bit of dj vu while watching the Mardi Gras parade at Universal Studios, even if you haven't thrown back a hurricane or two. It's all shiny and glittery, with strands of colorful beads zipping past your head, that "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" song looping and the King Gator float at the tail end, right?

Well, not exactly.

Universal introduced three floats into the mix this year the land, sea and air models tied to the "Around the World in Eighty Days" theme. It also enhanced its traditional "jester" float.

It was decided that the jester needed to be more vivid, says show director Patrick Braillard. Universal designers consulted the artwork used to construct the float originally and proceeded with alterations. They added new bead work to the sides of the float and rearranged some of its architecture.

The archway is new, and there are fewer masks displayed.

"We kept one of the same masks, but we updated the paint treatment on it and then split the focus. Previously, there were two masks on each side," Braillard says.

The refinished product resulted in a promotion for the jester float. It now leads Universal's Mardi Gras parade.

Universal has recycled elements of past floats into this year's units too. The glowing strings from a giant guitar on a music-themed float are now used on the Set Sail float.

"We took that material and we put it on the blimp," Braillard says. "As you watch the parade, you'll actually see that blimp be lit on all of those ribs, and they will actually spin and change color."

The entire float changes colors. "It looks like one giant birthday cake," he says.

Abigail Larkin Mark Giumarra, lifelong Redding resident and owner of NorthPoint Construction, has been able to keep his company afloat and adapt to changes in the industry since the housing crisis in 2008. Through the ups and downs, Mr. Giumarra still believes that a good handshake goes a long way.

Mark Giumarra, the founder of NorthPoint Construction, built his own office on the fringe of his Redding property. Inside the office, the mark of a craftsman is evident. Hundreds of tools hang on the walls and are stacked on shelves. Some look brand new, while others might have been old favorites used in many bygone projects.

Mr. Giumarra, a lifelong resident of Redding, has been in the contracting business for over 28 years.

When I started I was in my 20s, Mr. Giumarra said. I had a hammer and a pickup truck. Ive been running my own business ever since.

NorthPoint Construction specializes in building custom homes and additions. The company has helped design dozens of projects, ranging from mansions to chicken coops. The variety of projects that come in to NorthPoint keeps the job interesting, said Mr. Giumarra.

We recently just built a barn in New Canaan for this woman who raises donkeys, he said. I remember one of them, Annie, was a rescue animal. She was 44 years old and smart as could be.

NorthPoint has constructed buildings all over the greater New York area. Meeting and talking to people from all different walks of life is another aspect of the business that Mr. Giumarra said he enjoys.

According to Mr. Giumarra, a lot of impressive, important people live in the Redding area, and its been exciting to help them at least in a small way. He said hes even met famous people on the job, but wouldnt reveal who.

We respect our customers privacy, he said.

Mr. Giumarra strives to run his business with integrity. He began his business, he said, in an era when a handshake meant everything, and he said he continues to operate with that mantra in mind.

Nov. 28, 1930 -- Feb. 10, 2014, Age 83

Eunice Eileen (Strand) Hansen was born Nov. 28, 1930 in Bessemer, Michigan, to John Leonard and Theresa Mary (Bretall) Strand. The Strand family was very active in the community and regularly attended the Salem Lutheran Church, Ironwood, Michigan. At age 16, Eunice moved to Wheaton, Illinois to live with her aunt. During her free time, she enjoyed horseback riding. She graduated from Wheaton College Academy in June 1949. While working as a volunteer for the USO, her hard work was recognized and she was hired as a long-distance operator. She later worked as a receptionist for a carpet installation company, where she met her future husband, Paul Kenneth Hansen, on a blind date. When Pauls family moved to San Bernardino, Paul asked her to move to California and they were married in January 1953. Shortly afterward, the family moved into a small home in Rialto, but when their family started to expand they moved into a larger home in Fontana in 1959, where they remained for the rest of their lives.

Eunice was a homemaker, wife, and loving mother. Her hobbies included sewing, reading, yard work (loved her fruit trees), and sightseeing. She proudly completed her Associates Degree from San Bernardino Valley Community College while in her late 50s. She was active in various churches, including Bloomington Church of the Nazarene and Crosspoint Community Church. She was a good friend to the neighborhood families. Paul and Eunice had three children.

Eunice is survived by her brother John William Strand; her sister JoAnn Mattson; step-brother Ronald Kittle Strand; son Charles and daughter-in-law Linda Hansen; daughter Sharon Gibson and daughter Anita Hansen and son-in-law Veon Dillon; her grandchildren David Carmona and wife Misty, Merie Gibson, Phillip Gibson and wife Lynetta, Lauritz Dillon, and Lydia Dillon; and her great-grandchildren Paul Carmona, David Carmona, Damarius Gibson, and Arianna Gibson. She was preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, Paul; her parents, John and Theresa Strand; her sisters Ruth McBain, June Smith, and Patricia Anderson; and her step-mother Lovida (Olsen-Kittle) Strand.

A private viewing was held at Ingold Funeral Chapel, Fontana, on Feb. 13 and a memorial service was held on Feb. 18 at the Crosspoint Community Church, Fontana. Interment will be at the Riverside National Cemetery, Riverside.

Obituary - Eunice Eileen (Strand) Hansen

I was excited when I learned that the parents of a student I knew produced a product my family used and enjoyed. His response to me was "Yeah, they're getting rich off you." He was quite confused when I replied "They should be. They make a very good product. If they are not getting rich, they are not good business people." The student expected me to be envious of his parents' success rather than thankful for the product that met my family's needs better than anything else. In a free society, people get rich by providing goods and services people want at prices they are willing to pay. Yes, there are people like the founders of Solyndra who game the system and get rich from government favors. Still, most people who become rich do so by serving others, whether it be designing new computers or running a carpet installation business. President Obama has made the reduction of income inequality a key focus of his second term. Our president is promoting the politics of envy. We are told that some people have more than their fair share, and that only the government can make things more fair by taxing and regulating the successful. The losses of the rich are supposed to make the rest of us happier and better off. Since the president was inaugurated, middle-class incomes have fallen when adjusted for inflation. Five years of the Obama presidency with tens of thousands of new regulations and hundreds of billions of dollars of stimulus spending and tax increases on the wealthy have not helped middle-income families. This is not surprising. Remember President Clinton's luxury tax? It was supposed to affect only the rich who bought things like yachts. The people who built yachts lost their jobs when the rich stopped buying luxuries. President Clinton was humble enough to allow the luxury tax to be repealed. Our current president is doubling down on more of what has failed and is prepared to use constitutionally dubious methods, circumventing the legislative branch, to do so. We do not need new savings accounts created by executive fiat so middle-income people can loan more money to the government. Savings bonds already exist. We need more wealth creation. Contrary to what many pundits claim, wealth is good. Wealth is fresh fruits and vegetables in January, indoor plumbing, and MRI machines. Neither will raising the minimum wage improve the lot of those who earn it. People can only be paid what their labor is worth for a particular job in the current economy. Raising the minimum wage will increase automation, eliminating low-level jobs. Claiming otherwise for political support simply takes advantage of people while pretending to help. It is not by chance that the United States is a wealthy country. Yes, the government was involved in such things as building roads which have helped business. However, government does not have any resources of its own. Roads were built because productive people paid taxes to pay for them. We have become a wealthy country because for most of our history we have had relatively low taxes (when rates were high there were huge loopholes), limited regulation, the rule of law, and relatively little corruption. No one is arguing that there should be no government, or that no tax revenue should be collected. Limited government, however, provides the freedom for entrepreneurs to provide solutions to people's problems and improve their lives. If our elected officials would in humility stop trying to engineer fairness, step back and let Americans create wealth, the middle class could thrive again. President Obama is encouraging us to compare ourselves to those who have more. Rather than using these people as examples of how to achieve success, he is telling us it is unfair and that he can bring fairness and prosperity. Political points may be scored, but it will not improve our standard of living. If Americans succumb to the politics of envy we will be less happy and poorer for it. Dr. Joseph J. Horton is professor of psychology at Grove City College and the Working Group Coordinator for Marriage and Family with The Center for Vision & Values.
