(Yugoslavian Cut Leaf Sage) This is a rare Baltic steppe plant that grows beautifully in sunny locations with little water and excellent drainage. It is endemic to a the Orlova Brdo region of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
(Lolly's Mexican Sage) Our variety of Salvia mexicana 'Lolly' is the tall kind growing up to about shoulder height. A shorter form is often called "Lollie Jackson" or "Lolly Jackson." Who or what the mysterious Lolly is remains unclear.
(Love and Wishes Sage) Deep purple calyxes support the magenta-purple, tubular blossoms of Salvia x 'Love and Wishes'. They contrast handsomely with dark stems and mid-green foliage.
Due in stock and ready to ship on August 03, 2014
(Ember's Wish Sage) Bright coral-colored, tubular blossoms contrast handsomely with the deep maroon stems, rusty rose calyxes and mid-green foliage of Ember's Wish Sage.
Due in stock and ready to ship on August 03, 2014
(Golden Japanese Forest Grass) If you want to grow an ornamental grass in partial to full shade, Hakonechloa 'All Gold' is an excellent choice. It also thrives in locations with morning sun and afternoon shade.
(Lizzie's Oregano) An abundance of hops-like flowers droop from the slender stems of this lush, ornamental oregano. Layers of lavender-rose bracts protect the tiny pink flowers. The blossoms and minty green foliage are lovely in fresh or dried bouquets.
Each week, we walk through the nursery with a clipboard in hands, looking for the best we have to offer. All of the plants listed here are "prime", ready to succeed in your garden. In some cases they are just coming into bloom. Or they may be at the perfect stage to transplant. Or the seasonal foliage color may be at its peak.
In any case, the list changes every week, so check back for the latest and greatest from Flowers by the Sea.
(Romanian Sage) Here's a great selection for mixed Salvia borders in zones with colder winters. This herbaceous perennial features deep violet flowers in large whorls atop tall, branched spikes.
(Potent Culinary Sage) Flavorful and fragrant, Extrakta is a modern European Culinary Sage known for its pungent essential oil. About a foot taller than most species of Salvia officinalis, it has long, narrow, spear-shaped leaves that are deep green.
(Speckled Dwarf Pineapple Lily) The 'freckles' on this petite South African plant are the reddish-purple speckles on its long, lance-shaped, olive-green leaves. From summer to fall, short, rose-red flower spikes rise up from the center of this exotic foliage.
(Giant Red Cardinal Flower) Similar to the plumage of a Northern Cardinal, the flowers of this Lobelia hybrid are startlingly red. The tubular blossoms have lips that flare at their openings into petals shaped like poinsettia bracts.
(Velvet Centaurea) Lacy, velvety foliage gives this tough shrub its common name. The globular, thistle-like flowers are lavender to fuchsia pink and contrast elegantly with the silvery green of the leaves.
(Blue Turkish Sage) Large velvety gray-green to white leaves in loose rosettes give this sage a distinctive look as does the celestial violet-blue of its flowers. The blossoms seem much too large for this short sage and its thin, candelabra-branched flower spikes.
(Grape Leaf Sage) Tall spikes of intensely blue flowers bloom summer to fall and emerge in profusion from handsome, furry foliage. The leaves are grape green on top and purplish on the bottom. This water-loving sage grows rapidly into a spreading mound.
(Silver Sabre Sage) Hanging-basket gardeners, here's one for you! The pink, green and cream variegated foliage is so ornamental trailing over pots that you might forget its role as a fragrant cooking herb.
(Blue Angel Gentian Sage) Since the 1838 discovery of this herbaceous species from Central Mexico, Salvia patens has been a mainstay of the perennial garden. Blue Angel is one of the smallest of the full-sized varieties.
(Blue Mealy Cup Sage) This Texas native species is one of the mainstays of gardens worldwide. Tidy, easy to grow, hardy, long blooming and undemanding, Mealy Cup Sage belongs in almost any sunny garden. Due to the popularity of the species, the number of varieties is staggering.
(Big Pitcher Sage) As its scientific name indicates, this sage has very large flowers. They are almost two-tone, changing from deep violet to a light blue or white at their base where they are cupped by dusky purple calyxes.
(Arizona Blue Sage) We are so impressed with this top-performing, drought-resistant ground cover that we have rated it best of class. Arizona Blue Sage is adaptable to a variety of shady conditions and blossoms so abundantly that it seems to have as many rich blue flowers as it has leaves. It is native to dry, shaded areas in mountain canyons in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
(Blue Milkweed) It's not unusual to see the sky-blue, star-shaped flowers of Tweedia caerulea tucked into bridal bouquets. Yet they are members of the humble milkweed family Asclepiadaceae.
(Hardy Nepalese Ginger) After several years of growing various strains, we have settled on this one as the best we have seen. Large, 3+ inch flowers display nicely over a two month period in the mid to late summer. And the color intensity and hue reminds most people of an orchid.

When it comes to ornamental and medicinal Salvias -- or true sages -- more is what you get from Flowers by the Sea (FBTS). We offer more types, more colors, more vigor, more care in shipping and more information. We grow, develop and test hundreds of ornamental and medicinal Salvias. Our farm and online nursery doesn't sell to big box outlets; instead, we ship directly to home gardeners like you. At Flowers by the Sea, you'll find the largest selection of Salvias -- both popular and rare -- available anywhere in the world.
We aren't just here to sell plants and make a living; we're here to help you make the world more beautiful.
Don't expect a catalog in your mailbox from Flowers by the Sea, because we have never printed one and refuse to do so. Print catalogs are tree-munching dinosaurs on their way to extinction due to the rapidly changing world of digital technology. Online catalogs are environmentally friendly and save our customers money, because we can keep our plant prices low.
All plants are guaranteed to arrive at your home in excellent condition and clearly labeled. In addition, we guarantee your absolute satisfaction with these plants. There is no hidden small print; we know you will love our quality, so we guarantee it!
We ship well-rooted stock in the container size listed for each plant in our catalog. Occasionally we will cut a plant back to facilitate shipping, but hey -- we're gardeners, so we'll do a thoughtful job of it.
We are very careful about not sending you weeds or pests! If your plants do not arrive in excellent condition, please contact us immediately via email or telephone. You can choose to have either a refund or credit on a future order.
Flowers by the Sea uses a customized system for shipping charges. Customized fees allow adjustment of shipping prices based on how far away you live from FBTS and how many plants you purchase. This is a more equitable way of covering delivery fees instead of increasing plant prices to cover losses on delivery charges as in a flat-rate system.
Please visit our Everything Salvias Blog, where we discuss favorite sages and companion plants in detail. We share information about a broad array of species and dig into topics such as butterfly and hummingbird plants, Culinary Sages, medicinal use of Salvias, native gardens, plant cultivation, Salvia history including plant exploration, selection of plants based on climate and tips for waterwise gardening.
Salvia Alert! is a free service to our customers, to keep them informed of new and unusual Salvia species and varieties as they become commercially avaliable.Sign up now
There is no regular schedule for Salvia Alert emails. They may arrive in your inbox once a week or once a month depending on the timing of new introductions and the growth cycle of other plants. The in-stock quantity of any given plant detailed in an Alert is limited. However, there are no other restrictions on the number you may purchase while the plant is in stock. The chase is on once the Alert is mailed: Sales continue until stock is gone, which may be minutes, hours or more than a day.
The Salvia Daily Deal offers a popular sage for $1.99 once a week. The sale day begins at noon Pacific Time and lasts for 24 hours or until stock runs out. The limit usually is one pot per customer, but sometimes multiple purchases are possible. Past offers have included Friendship Sage (Salvia 'Amistad') and Grape Leaf Sage (Salvia vitiifolia).
Subscribers receive the Daily Deal newslist via email before sale time. If you click on the Daily Deal Icon in the newslist, it takes you to a page with dials showing how many days, hours and minutes must pass until the sale opens. If you open the email during sale time, the newslist looks different: For example, aside from "Daily Deal," the icon announces "Today Only." The name of the plant is now highlighted. You click on it to reach the plant description page where you can click the "add to cart" button to place your order.Sign up now

Pennsylvania State Police said unknown persons entered a home on the 800 block of Collegeville Road in Skippack Township by unknown means and removed the copper piping in the basement sometime between August 8 and September 8, 2012.
While removing the piping, the robbers caused water to run in the basement, police said.
The 66-year-old homeowner from Worcester discovered the basement was filled about three feet high with water, police said.

The Dalai Lama has appointed Nicholas ("Nicky" to his friends) Vreeland, 56, as the new abbot of Rato Monastery in Karnataka, India. This is the first time that a Westerner has been appointed as abbot of an important Tibetan Buddhist monastery. The monastery in Mungud, Karnataka, has been designed by Delhi-based architect Pradeep Sachdeva.
Nicholas Vreeland, grandson of the iconic fashion editor Diane Vreeland and son of former U.S. ambassador Frederick Vreeland, is the director of the Tibet Center in New York. He was educated in Europe, North Africa, and the United States, studied in NYU film school, after which he pursued a career in photography. In the late sixties and early seventies, he worked as an assistant to famous photographers Irving Penn and Richard Avedon.[Facebook Nalanda Monastery]
Watch Buddhist Abbot Nicholas Vreeland on PBS. See more from Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly.
A recent PBS interview:
LAWTON: It was Richard Avedon's son John who in 1977 first introduced Vreeland to Khyongla Rato Rinpoche, founder of the Tibet Center. Under Rinpoche's supervision, Vreeland began learning about Tibetan Buddhism.
Then in 1979, he went on a photography assignment in India. Because of his growing interest in Tibetan Buddhism, he included a visit to Dharamsala, headquarters of the Dalai Lama. Vreeland received permission to photograph the Tibetan leader. His camera had an extremely slow exposure, so his subjects had to sit absolutely still for one minute. That was a challenge for the Dalai Lama.
VREELAND: The shutter opened and we waited 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 40, seconds, 50 seconds, and then his holiness started to move. And we did one time after another, after another, and suddenly after all these attempts to get a, a fully, a properly exposed shot, we both burst into laughter and it was as if all the tension went.
LAWTON: The Dalai Lama tried standing and they finally managed to get the shot.
VREELAND: His holiness very, very kindly remained there as I packed up my equipment and talked to me. And I had been so moved by the way in which the Tibetan people had supported me, had helped me in my travels and during my time in Dharamsala, and I asked his holiness what I could do in return. And he said, "Study." More
The Rato Dratsang Temple, campus, guesthouse, and all landscaping, were designed by Delhi-based architect Pradeep Sachdeva and his associates Vidya Tongbram and Madhu Shankar. [Pradeep Sachdeva Design Associates website here].
"The original Rato Monastery, located on the outskirts of Lhasa, Tibet, was established in the 14th century. "Though there are over 1,000 Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, Rato Monastery (in Karnataka) is one of only a dozen important Tibetan Government monasteries under the Dalai Lama's patronage."
A recent exhibition of Vreeland's work, entitled Photos for Rato, toured major cities around the world and raised most of the funds needed for the construction of Rato Monastery's new campus and temple, which was inaugurated by the Dalai Lama on January 31, 2011.

Tonawanda News — It's a very rare sight when Haley Snyder isn't smiling.
A key member of the Tonawanda Lady Warriors basketball team that is shooting for its third consecutive ECIC IV title, Snyder, a junior, is a leader on the volleyball team and a multiple record holder for Tonawanda track and field. But what really makes Haley Snyder wear a beaming ear-to-ear smile is the simplicity of life itself and being able to represent THS as a student-athlete.
"I really like it," Snyder said with a smile. "I go to practice with all of my friends on my teams and we're just joking around. You get to school and you feel like it's going to be hard and you come to basketball and it's fun."
While so many people today are caught up in the selfishness of wanting more, Snyder is that rare breed who is simply thankful for what life has given her. All is good. She doesn't need anything more.
"I always pictured high school to be really cool and I'd be one of those (active) kids," she said. "But I never thought it'd be this much fun."
Snyder's infectious, upbeat personality radiates in everything she does and it has a positive ripple effect on her teammates.
"She brings that on the court. She's so enthusiastic," said Lady Warriors basketball coach Jay Hall. "She's carefree and she just hustles all over the place. People see her hustle and they say if she can do that, we better start doing it too."
Thanks largely to the inner circles of her three teams, Snyder, who won the Leadership Award in volleyball this year, said life at THS has been better than she dreamed it would be.
"I've always played basketball but I never thought I'd be on varsity. Playing, making shots in a game," Snyder said. "It's awesome."

We posted British songstress Laura Mvula's enchanting debut single "She" in September, and its delicate, serious-throwback R&B hasn't left our brains since—easily one of the year's most promising, polished and instantly classic new voices. "Like the Morning Dew" is a little louder, a little bolder; more a holiday romance's climactic scene in the snow than its quieter one by the crackling fireplace. Your grandparents will like this, too. Laura Mvula's She EP comes out November 18th via RCA, downloadable from her site.

Safari Books Online is a digital library providing on-demand subscription access to thousands of learning resources.
I find it instructive to introduce Scrum's underlying principles by comparing them with the beliefs that drive more traditional, plan-driven, sequential development. Doing so makes it easier for people to understand how Scrum is similar to or different from something they know and understand.
The goal of comparing agile principles with traditional development principles is not to make the case that plan-driven, sequential development is bad and that Scrum is good. Both are tools in the professional developer's toolkit; there is no such thing as a bad tool, rather just inappropriate times to use that tool. As I described briefly in the context of the Cynefin framework in Chapter 1, Scrum and traditional, plan-driven, sequential development are appropriate to use on different classes of problems.

Quarterback Alex Smith of the San Francisco 49ers drops back to pass the ball against the New York Giants at Candlestick Park on Nov. 13. Both team's QBs had stellar regular seasons this year.
They were the No. 1 overall picks in the 2004 and 2005 drafts.
Eli Manning and Alex Smith had their best NFL regular seasons, and they've carried it over into the playoffs.
And, now, their paths will converge Sunday as the most-important pieces of their respective teams in the NFC Championship Game at Candlestick Park (3:30 p.m.)
Although the quarterbacks of the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers will never be on the field together, how they stack up against each other will likely decide which team advances to Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis on Feb. 5.

Major Democratic congressional leaders like Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin of Illinois, 2004 presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi want the reinstitution of the outdated, pre-Internet "Fairness Doctrine." They want to counter the news revolution in which blogs and talk radio have taken on the Big Three TV networks.The Obama campaign claims Obama opposes a new Fairness Doctrine, but City Journal editor Brian C. Anderson doesn't think a President Obama would veto such a bill. Moreover, Obama and most Democrats want to impose more "local accountability" on broadcasters, "setting up community boards to make their demands known when station licenses come up for renewal," as Anderson notes.This measure is "clearly aimed at national syndicators like Clear Channel that offer conservative shows," Anderson says. "It's a Fairness Doctrine by subterfuge." Obama would pair that with relicensing stations every two years instead of the current eight.
We have already seen that Obama's forces have no scruples about punishing media organizations who do not act as disciples of "The One." Newswomen with both WFTV in Orlando, Fla., and the CBS affiliate in Philadelphia dared to ask running mate Joseph Biden about Obama's plans to "spread the wealth," as he infamously told Ohio's Joe the Plumber. The Obama campaign let the journalists know they were now personae non grata.
Ya know, it seems like we've heard and seen this pattern before. Say, for example, Hugo Chavez and RCTV, or if you'd like a more historical point of view, Stalin's use of the Cheka, to eliminate all opposition. There are others; Mao, Castro, Hitler are prominant among them. It's no longer a matter of words, that David and Michelle and a host of others have correctly pointed up, but the actions as well.'But', I hear you say, 'Obama doesn't have the power of government behind him, as these others did!'That's true.So far.But think for a moment; Obama and his people have already shown their hand. What will they do once they do actually have the power of government behind them? Do you really consider that the silencing of opposition by government is a thing so far out of reach for people who have done what they're already on record as having done?
'But', I hear you say, 'Obama doesn't have the power of government behind him, as these others did!'
Frankly, I'm more concerned with those dangerous nut-jobs over at QandO...

– Last month, the McCain campaign barred New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd from flying on both the McCain and Palin press planes.– Time Magazine's Joe Klein revealed last week that he too had been barred from traveling with the McCain campaign, telling Politico's Michael Calderone that the campaign began freezing him out after he asked McCain an uncomfortable question about foreign policy.– During the Republican National Convention, McCain canceled an appearance on CNN's Larry King Live after CNN's Campbell Brown persistently asked flustered McCain flack Tucker Bounds about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's foreign policy experience and qualifications.– When Newsweek wrote a cover story in May examining the hardball tactics conservatives might use in the general election, the McCain campaign "threatened to throw the magazine's reporters off the campaign bus and airplane."
Radio Free America.
Heh....we can always broadcast from Mexico or Canada...maybe Cuba will let someone set up a station.Radio Free America.Seriously though. I never thought I'd see people get more uptight than we did over Bill and Hillary, but we're reaching new levels of wrapped tight lately.Once they're in control, they've demonstrated that all the talk radio shows, blogs and what not in the world have failed to make the necessary difference.I understand a majority control, but let's not assume from the get go that every elected representative of the majority party is going to start acting like they just got off the plane from Boston or San Francisco. A lot of this suppression of free speech crap is not going to fly in fly-over country as represented by Democrats.Just recently the house failed to pass the first go round on the bail out bill.There were people who have (D) after their names who voted against it.They're not all insane.
Kristallnacht cannot be too far behind that.
Pelosi and others are just pandering to their constituencies.
How exactly do you determine when Democrats are accurately expressing their policy preferences versus when they are "just pandering"?
Oh, just because Obama claims he would oppose a new Fairness Doctrine isn't reason enough to disbelieve whats-his-face Brian Anderson – senior editor of a magazine published by a conservative "think" tank.
Funny, but where is the anti free speech constituency on the right?
Where have I heard that? Could it be "Póg mo thóin"?
How exactly do you determine when Democrats are accurately expressing their policy preferences versus when they are "just pandering"?
Pouge seems to think that Obama should be able to define himself.

We're going to HAVE to work with these people, it's that simple.
Well, looker, just as an example, New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo managed to intimidate some of the big-time internet providers, like Time-Warner Roadrunner, to jettison Usenet newsgroups.
There were a number of groups where child pornography was being posted. That was enough of an excuse for Time-Warner to dump all of Usenet.
Usenet was the original internet Samizdat. It roared into operation during the Clinton years. It's still out there, but big internet carries in New York were intimidated into not carrying it. Just like that.
Free market, baby. That's what they're free to do. Succomb to intimidation tactics or no.
Intimidation by government agents = free market?
And how does any of this relate to a new Fairness Doctrine that Obama is, despite his words to the contrary, for?
If absolute partisinship has actually helped us nationally over the last 6 years, let me know. I ain't seeing it.
"work with" means go on with life with 'them' in charge of things.
I will not become Kos.
And it's not as if the Republicans have done us a lot of favors in the last 6 years in a lot of ways, or do we need to list them to get a sense of perspective here?
I'm voting my LAST choices for President as it is.I'm having to hold my nose to vote for a Senator who voted FOR the godd@mnedbailout ONLY because I'm aware of the dangers of a super majority in the Senate
McCain is a lousy pick, and the only thing that makes him good is he's NOT Obama.
There is hardly an up-side to this at all even if McCain wins.
I feel like I'm trying to save myself from Dracula so I can let Frankenstein throw me off when the fight's over.
Gov. Sarah Palin apparently got so excited that she momentarily granted him the honored double status of veteran and Frontier State native: "He's a fellow Alaska[n], and he's a fellow military man who has served our country proudly. I'd like you to meet him."
On the other hand, anytime we've seen examples of bipartisianship, it's also worked out lousy for us also.
And how does any of this relate to a new Fairness Doctrine that Obama is, despite his words to the contrary, for?Are you suggesting that an Obama administration will shut down the internet?
Versus what? McQ and whats-his-face Brian Anderson!?As if they're coming at this with a fair and balanced perspective.
This is the best election season, evah!
Slobs like you will do okay, because you don't really have anything to say, and you don't say it well enough to attract attention in any case.
Yes, a slimy pseudo criminal
Uhh... What's a "pseudo criminal"?He's a fake criminal?

The popular men's magazine, Playboy had its debut with the sizzling Marilyn Monroe [Unlink] as its cover page model.
It was in 1953 when the Playboy magazine's innovator, Hugh Hefner decided to come up with a novel idea and thought to shoot a model nude for the cover page of the magazine. Marilyn Monroe, who was regarded as the beauty queen of Hollywood, was his immediate choice.
Hugh Hefner approached Marilyn Monroe and was successful in acquiring her consent for the cover shoot.
Although, at that time, Hefner intended to pose Monroe nude in a 3D format, the technology requisite for 3D centerfolds was too expensive and beyond the reach of Hefner. The notion was abandoned subsequently.
The idea that did not see the light of the day will be set into action for this month's edition. Hope Dworaczyk will be the very first model of the Playboy magazine, who will pose nude on the 3D centerfold for the cover page.
It is after 37 years that the Playboy magazine will execute the concept of Hugh Hefner.

Even with sleep increasingly recognized as an important determinant of health, some doctors may resist the evidence. From working round-the-clock shifts during residency to on-call nights to early-morning rounds, they're sleep-deprived -- and proud of it.
"Organized medicine and the professional medical societies are sanctioning 100,000 people a year to working 30-hour shifts twice a week during their medical education," says Dr. Charles Czeisler, director of the division of sleep medicine at Harvard Medical School.

When author Jordan Sonnenblick visited Avon Middle School and Thompson Brook School Thursday and Friday, respectively, his message stretched beyond writing.
"What I try to do with the kids is talk about the nuts and bolts of writing, but more importantly, since I kind of have a bully pulpit, I get the chance of them really listening to me because I'm the author," Sonnenblick said. "I try to impart some sense of values and meaning and life lessons because they're really listening so intently."
Sonnenblick, a New York City native who now lives in New Jersey, is the author of Drums, Girls & Dangerous Pie, Notes from the Midnight Driver, Zen and the Art of Faking It, Dodger and Me, Dodger for President, Dodger for Sale, After Ever After and Curveball: The Year I Lost My Grip.
Let Patch save you time. Get great local stories like this delivered right to your inbox or smartphone every day with our free newsletter. Simple, fast sign-up here. While you're at it, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
Thompson Brook School fifth grader Nicholas Jackson said that Dodger and Me is favorite book of Sonnenblick's.
"It's about a kid who's not that popular so he has a friend who grants his every wish," Jackson said.
He said he likes how Sonnenblick often uses real life stories as influences in his fiction. Jackson was happy he paid a visit to his upper elementary school.
"I really like it a lot," he said.
For young writers, Sonnenblick recommends reading paragraphs from books the kids like closely and studying how the style works. A practice he often recommends is writing an immitation of that style. He had Avon Middle School students write a piece mimicking the style of the first page of one of his books during a writing workshop, he said.
Out of all seven books the full-time author has written, he said his favorite is his second book, Notes from the Midnight Driver.
"My grandfather is a character in it and in real life he's not around anymore," Sonnenblick said. "So it's kind of a chance to capture my grandpa."
His other advice is to "read like a mad man," he said.
Sonnenblick's largest inspiration comes from meeting a kid he feels needs a book.
The questions he gets from kids that stick with him the most are the ones that truly show that the kids are picturing themselves as a writer. They range from the process to where he likes to write and what he thinks about before he has an idea for a book.
"The kids have been amazing and the teachers have been fantastic," he said, noting the students' strong enthusiasm.
He called himself a "processless slob" in terms of his own writing rituals.
"I end whether the dragon of the book is slain or I'm slain," he said.

Clarkstown Town Board members voted on Tuesday night to amend the agreement with Behan Planning Associates and Maser Consulting for design services in conjunction with the Main Street Revitalization Project. The original agreement provided for the professional planning, design and engineering consultants to be paid an amount not to exceed 14 percent of the total construction cost of the project or $2.4 million.
The actual cost of Phases I and II and Congers Road work wound up being higher than anticipated, resulting in the consultants providing additional services. The amended agreement provides for the firms to receive a total payment of $2.6 million. The resolution also noted that according to an October 6, 2009 agreement, Rockland County was responsible for paying up to $2 million of the costs associated with the work on Congers Road.
A second resolution approved by the board also dealt with Behan's services for Phase III of the Revitalization Project. The firm, which has a New City office, submitted a proposal on June 29 "to provide construction administration and observation services." The board authorized the supervisor to enter into an agreement for those services that would cost no more than $290,000.
Maser Consulting of West Nyack also received approval for up to $800,000 of construction administration services for Phase III of the project. Its proposal was dated May 31.
Additional funds to complete the Town Hall TV studio and records storage area were approved by board members. They authorized Supervisor Alex Gromack to amend the agreement with Lorencin Contracting of New City and add $105,600 for additional shelving, lighting, ceiling repairs and carpeting and $16,991 to the contract with DCAK Architecture of Nyack for HVAC system modifications, structural modifications and specifications and consultation regarding the purchase of AV equipment.
The resolutions state the fees are "within the budgeted amount for the project previously approved by the town board and shall be offset by the PEG grants from Verizon and Cablevision.
In response to a resident's question about the opening of the TV studio, Gromack said he expected it would be put into use in 2013.
Contracts with the same two firms were modified for their work on the police department's communications room. DCAK's agreement was amended for an additional $57,665 for design modifications while Lorencin's was amending by $105,600 for change orders.
The need for additional work at Germonds Park Ballfield cost the town approximately $12,000 more. The board approved a change order for West-Con Contracting of Tuckahoe in the amount of $3,090 for additional drainage. The firm's initial bill for its field expansion work totaled $419,166 for bids approved in January and September 2011.
Paul Bitts Co. of New City and Yaboo Fence of West Nyack received payments of $7,400 and $1,500 respectively for correcting the water main and fencing.
Two bond resolutions gained approval. The resolution for $133,000 provides for the construction and installation of a salt storage structure. The resolution for $430,000 covers various drainage improvement projects in the town.
