Havre Public Schools
At Havre Public Schools we are drawing winter activities to a close and are getting ready for spring. The second trimester for our K-5 students ended on last Friday, and grade reports should have arrived home this week. We are fast approaching the end of third quarter at Havre Middle School and Havre High School next Friday.
At this time of year it is important to help our students stay focused on academics and attendance. We have learned that when we have regular attendance, our students make great progress. I hope you will continue to emphasize this simple but important item with your student.
Spring testing for our students began this week with the administration of the MontCAS (Montana Comprehensive Assessment System) Phase 2 tests at Sunnyside School for our fourth-graders. In the coming weeks we will also be testing eighth-graders at Havre Middle School and sophomores at Havre High School. The scores on the mathematics and reading tests are used in part to determine Havre Public Schools' status under the federal No Child Left Behind legislation. We request your assistance in making sure your student comes to school during these test weeks, well rested and having had some breakfast to get them going. Again, I emphasize that attendance is critical. If they are not here, it is difficult to measure progress and to make progress. Later this month, the state ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills) will be given to our fourth- and eighth-graders, and the ITED (Iowa Test of Educational Development) will be given to our juniors. We continue to balance the demands of federal and state testing requirements with the need to allow adequate time for preparing our kids, while meeting the accountability measures so necessary to help the public understand the progress of our students. Please contact your school if you have questions about the tests or the test times. Other questions regarding testing can be directed to me.
Certainly it would be difficult this time of year to write an article from the school that doesn't include a report about happenings in the legislative session. This year, more than ever before, what happens in Helena over the next month and a half will determine Havre Public Schools' ability to continue to provide the educational programming our community expects. Following and providing significant input into key legislative issues have been a focus of our school district leadership team. As the session continues you can count on continued advocacy for what is right for students, balanced with the ability of our Montana communities to meet the needs. The Legislature is working to define a basic system of quality elementary and secondary schools, determining an appropriate funding amount for immediate relief to meet the definition, and crafting a funding formula to better meet the needs in the future. As simply as this was said, I can assure you that the task is daunting.
The fact that the Legislature is unlikely to make final budget determinations until the end of the session creates some timeline challenges for the school election on May 3. We continue to plan as best we can, knowing that legislative action will affect the final outcome of many decisions to be made. What we do know is that the trustees took action on resolutions at their Tuesday school board meeting calling for an election that includes three vacancies for trustee seats in the elementary district and the possibility to set mill levy amounts in the future, if deemed necessary after legislative action.
The trustee seats are currently held by Denise Thompson, Teresa Miller and Joe Marino. Petitions to run for the school board can be picked up from the election administrator at Robins School and must be filed by March 24. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Zella Witter at 265-4356 or pick up a petition at Robins School, 425 Sixth St.
Springtime means spring activities and programs are on the horizon. The first day of practice for high school tennis, track and softball is Monday. Patriotic programs were presented recently by our third-graders and fifth-graders to packed houses. Our kids did an excellent job. Spring concert season is upon us as our middle school bands and choirs recently had concerts and festivals. Our high school students will be competing at the District Music Festival right here in Havre on April 22-23. On April 17, the 15th annual Salute to Senior Citizens will be taking place at Havre Middle School in honor of all senior citizens in our community, who do so much to support the kids in our schools.
I hope you will put these activities on your calendar and check out other activities on our District Events Calendar on the Web at http://www.k12.mt.us.
Thanks for reading.

Ashe County Schools is pleased to announce the 2012-13 Teacher of the Year Dr. Mandy Taylor, and Teacher Assistant of the Year Sandra Simms.
Ashe County Schools Central Office Staff visited Westwood Elementary School May 3 to honor Dr. Mandy Taylor, academically gifted (AIG) specialist, as Ashe County Schools Teacher of the Year for 2013-2014 school year. Each spring, schools select a Teacher of the Year to represent faculty and staff during the following school year.
The Ashe County Schools Teacher of the Year is chosen from among these Teacher of the Year nominees based on a portfolio entry and formal interview.
When asked why she chose education as her profession, Dr. Taylor stated, "The reason I choose education as my profession is because I was reared by parents who had a service heart. Helping other people was modeled in front of me daily. By the time I was in sixth grade, I knew I wanted to help other people by serving as a teacher."
Dr. Taylor began her career in Cleveland County Schools at Kings Mountain Middle School where she taught reading, language arts and science in 1996. She began her teaching career with Ashe County Schools in 1999 as the AIG specialist and has continued in that role to the present.
She received her master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 2003 from Appalachian State University and has recently completed all requirements to earn her PhD in Education from the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. Dr. Taylor also earned her National Board Certification for Professional Teaching Standards in 2003.
In her written entry, Dr. Taylor addresses many great visionaries in education, one of which was John Dewey and his belief of being a "life-long learner." She states if she could help students acquire the curiosity and habit of seeking understanding, and help them find the tools to answer their own questions, she believed she had equipped students for life beyond elementary education.
"I believe that classrooms are student-centered when students' voices are heard, choice is engaged, and students are coached to become responsible for their learning," she wrote.
Westwood Elementary Principal Jennifer Robinson said, "Dr. Taylor deserves this recognition. She is a tremendous asset to Westwood Elementary School and Ashe County Schools. She works tirelessly to plan lessons to challenge her students, and help them to become 21st century leaders. "Mrs. Mandy," as she is known by her students, collaborates with her parents, students, teachers, and administration and is willing to help in any way."
Taylor and her husband, Dr. Shane Taylor, reside in Ashe County.
The selection committee commented during the process that the decision was difficult. All of the teachers interviewed exemplified excellent in their profession.
For 2013-2014, Ashe County High School's Teacher of the Year is Jennifer Phipps, CTE Business teacher.
The Teacher of the Year for Ashe County Middle is Stephanie Stolt, 7th grade language arts and social studies teacher.
Blue Ridge Elementary Teacher of the Year is Allison Shoemake, 4th grade teacher.
The Mountain View Elementary Teacher of the Year is Jana Baldwin, kindergarten teacher.
Ashe County Schools is fortunate to have effective, highly qualified teachers who deliver instruction with passion and prepare our children to succeed.
Dr. Taylor is eligible to complete in the Northwest North Carolina Teacher of the Year competition in September. For more information about the North Carolina Teacher of the Year program, please visit http://www.ncpublicschool.org/recruitment/recognition/toy
Assistant Teacher of the Year
Teacher assistants play a vital role in the education of Ashe County students and we value their dedication and on-going service to our schools. These para-professionals provide instructional support and clerical assistance for the classroom teacher daily, and are constantly in motion from the time they arrive until they leave.
Mrs. Sandra Simms is a teacher assistant at the kindergarten grade level. Mrs. Simms has worked for Ashe County Schools since 2001 in different capacities including substitute teacher, tutor and part-time assistant. She has been employed as a full-time assistant since August 2007.
She states, "I love working with children and I try hard to be a key resource by providing support for my students, their parents, and my school. As such I hope to enable students to become more independent learners and raise standards of achievement for all pupils."
The criteria for selection included
- Employment as a teacher assistant with Ashe County Schools for a minimum of three years
- Must possess characteristics of a team player exemplifying collaboration and a willingness to be flexible and understanding
- Provide a source of positive and enthusiastic energy in the classroom • Exhibit compassion toward the students
Each school nominated their Teacher Assistant of the Year to represent their colleagues during the 2012-2013 year. The following teacher assistants were nominated by their peers: Linda Sloan, Ashe County High School; Sara Houck, Ashe County Middle School; Linda Campbell, Blue Ridge Elementary School; Michelle Davis, Mountain View Elementary; Sandra Simms, Westwood Elementary.

At this point it pretty much turns into me occasionally shooting at the person over in the other corner and the person 15 feet away from me in the snake, I never got either of them out because I got shot in the center of my left shoulder blade
They were good people but I really over expected things in the terms of tactics.

I asked him if he had modified the spring inside the regulator.
He told me "I bought it that way!". And shortly after that "We were playing like this forever".
I also took a look at his mask and thought it was dirty, no the Mask was severly damaged...
Another day me and a friend were playing some 1vs1, and we were running and gunning around the X in the middle. Unloaded a full Hopper and none of that freaking balls broke...
After that we were looking at the Owner "Hey did you switch to reballs".

Same game, the guy that shot me was shot by our back right. Nice shot too. Guy walks down whole side of the field and gets in his face in the middle of the game and screams assorted profanity at him. It was kinda funny because our guy completely disregarded that fact he was there lol.
A few games later, my friend and I playing pump are at two rockets (perpendicular to each other on the field, about at the 25-30). I get hit, I walk out. He's still in. This guy runs up to try to bunker him, misses all of the five shots he fired and gets hit once by my friend only to have it break on him. My friend resumes his concentration on the guy he's snapshooting, with the guy yelling at him that he was out and everything. He then turns around and walks to our home player and shoots him for no reason pretty close from what I heard. The kid is ten. I wasn't there, but that was my friend (the other pump)'s recollection of it.
Almost all of the people were over 300 (field likes you to be at about 290, they were all around 315-320) and were really bitchy about having to chrono. Guys had their barrel socks off and one shot the ground and a piece bounced off and hit me in the face, kinda near my eye. I told him, "Bro, put your sock and and turn your gun off!"
All he basically said was, "I didn't shoot you, I don't really care, and neither does anyone else." Then he proceeds to walk away with his gun still on and his sock still off.
Also, the little ten year old was told by his cousin to go bunker the snake, so he does, but doesn't know that there are two in the snake. Therefore, bunkers one and gets shot a couple times from close range. Kid goes and starts crying, but he was only shot about 4 times. The kid's cousin (about 25, big guy, kinda muscular, won't take any shit,) gets up in the guy's face. Later he apologized because he realized he didn't shoot him that much. The guy was really pissed at his cousin though.
Weird night, Friday was.

It was so much more funny in person because he's like 4foot7 and he has a huge ass project salvo with which he insists on hip firing at all times.
When he got hit, he dropped his gun, fell to the ground and started rolling around screaming RAMBO DOWN! RAMBO DOWN!!!!!

Another one is when I was playing woodsball, I was 1v1 on a guy with a much better marker, he was laying down some serious paint, and I was just trying to not get out. I started backing up, nearly fall, and he shoots my hopper off. So I lean down to pick it up, all the while backpedaling, trying not to fall, and picking up my hopper, I pull my butt cheek muscle, stand straight up and get clocked in the mask. I was laughing, I guess it has to happen to you for it to be funny lol

Actually, the car ran at a few other tracks as well. Vukovich ran at Raleigh, North Carolina on pavement in the car in 1952 and finished last after the brakes went out. He also attempted to qualify the car on the dirt at Springfield that year as well but wasn't fast enough to make the field. And he also ran it in one of the invitational events at the Chrysler Proving Grounds where the car ran its fastest laps ever. I believe this was in either 1953 or 1954 and Vukovich turned 175+ MPH laps. Someone here will know for sure.Originally Posted by ZOOOM

Chrysler opened their new proving ground in 1954. To show it off they had a match "race" for McGrath, Vuky, Bryan and Ruttman.
The world's closed ourse record was 148 and change.
All raced their Indy roadsters except Bryan in the upright dirt car.
McGrath, using Nitro (as was his habit) ran fastest at just over 179.
Apparently it wasn't a sanctioned event because the closed course record was set later in 1957 at Monza, by Tony Bettenhausen in the Novi, at 177 and change.
It was that record, at Monza, that Bill France put $10,000.00 bounty on at Daytona. It was to cost one driver dearly.

2013 America's Cup
Sail-World.com : Rolex Swan Cup Caribbean - Fine gathering set for Virgin Gorda
Rolex Swan Cup Caribbean - Fine gathering set for Virgin Gorda
'Nautor's Swan fleet racing in Porto Cervo - Rolex Swan Cup - Caribbean 2012'
© Rolex/Carlo Borlenghi
The Rolex Swan Cup Caribbean – set to take place from 11-15 March – marks a continuation of the partnership between the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS), Nautor's Swan and title sponsor Rolex that stretches back to the early 1980s by virtue of the biennial Rolex Swan Cup, a much vaunted gathering of the world's finest Swan yachts in Porto Cervo, Sardinia.
The competition will be held at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda's recently opened clubhouse on Virgin Gorda, in the British Virgin Islands. Four days of racing, commencing on Tuesday 12 March, are scheduled in the island archipelago's alluring waters, renowned for providing ideal sailing conditions, particularly for yachts with the performance values of Nautor's Swan.
YCCS Virgin Gorda and YCCS Marina North Sound - Rolex Swan Cup - Caribbean 2012 -
Competing Swans will be divided into two groups: Class A (Maxi), measuring upwards of 18.29 metres/60-foot; and, Class B, reserved for yachts measuring less than 18.29m. Around twenty Swans are expected to take part, representing eight countries to date.
Among the entrants, the Swan 90 Freya (USA) is significant. In 2012 she became the 2,000th Swan to be built by Nautor in Pietarsaari, Finland. Swan 601 Stark Raving Mad (USA) is another notable competitor and will be hoping to build on an impressive display at the 2012 Rolex Swan Cup where she finished second in class. The 30.48m Varsovie (CAY) is the largest entrant and the smallest is the 12.98m Swan 42 Arethusa (USA). Hokusai (FIN), a Swan 44 and one of Sparkman & Stephens' classic designs, will represent the marque's spiritual home and the longevity of Nautor's Swan's position at the forefront of the sailing world.
The Rolex Swan Cup Caribbean promises to mirror the esteemed reputation of the Rolex Swan Cup offering the ClubSwan members the opportunity to reconvene in idyllic surroundings for a week of dramatic action and convivial hospitality. The week's best performers will be rewarded during the final prizegiving, held on Friday 15 March, where the Rolex Swan Cup Caribbean Trophy will be presented.

Chyten Educational Services' president Neil Chyten said, "This snow storm could affect 16 or more of our centers, and will definitely affect our Newton Centre location. Many of our students are signed up to take the ACT on Saturday." He went on to say that it was likely that all sessions, practice tests and classes scheduled for Saturday in his Newton location would be canceled. "We want everyone to be safe and to feel safe. That goes for our franchise owners, our tutors and our students. Therefore, we leave it up to those affected by the storm to make their own decisions. We encourage any students, parents or tutors who are uncomfortable driving in these adverse conditions to stay home and use the time to their best possible advantage."
Given the predicted severity of the storm, it is likely that hundreds of Chyten students across the Northeast will be affected and that several hundred tutoring sessions, as well as practice tests and the ACT itself will be canceled. If the ACT is canceled, American College Testing, Inc. will post a new date on its website. Students can access up-to-date information on this website: www.actstudent.org.
Asked for final comments on the snowstorm that promises to wreak havoc with this tutoring and test preparation services across the Northeast, Chyten said: "Safety is our first priority. We want our students to be around to beat the test another day!"
Snowy Newton
9:26 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Any updates regarding snow plowing in Newton/ Newton Center? Haven't seen a plow near any of the side streets yet and was hoping you could provide information the the town's plan.
Melanie Graham
9:51 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
When I spoke with the DPW Commissioner yesterday, he said there would be more than 150 vehicles on the street clearing snow throughout the storm and likely into Sunday. As for specific routes or targeted areas, I'm not sure. We will work on getting an update from the city and post any information we have in our Storm Center. Please feel free to keep us updated here.
Paula Thompson
9:51 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Same question as Snowy Newton:
Can we get the side streets plowed back to more than just one lane? Especially before the snow emergency ends and the driveways get plowed. I'm not sure Levbert will be passable if the driveways get done first.
Snowy Newton
10:04 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Please do. Over on Nottingham street we haven;t even seen a plow since the start of the storm. Still 2' of snow in the street. If there was an emergency at any of our houses there would be no way for emergency vehicles to get by!
Melanie Graham
10:25 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Just heard from the city and they are expected to give us an update sometime early this afternoon. Stay tuned!

The Lords of Discipline [DVD]
Director : s Franc Roddam
Screenplay : Thomas Pope and Lloyd Fonvielle (based on the novel by Pat Conroy)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1983
Stars : David Keith (Will McLean), Robert Prosky (Bear), G.D. Spradlin (Gen. Durrell), Barbara Babcock (Abigail), Michael Biehn (Alexander), Rick Rossovich (Dante Pignetti), John Lavachielli (Mark), Mitchell Lichtenstein (Trado), Mark Breland (Pearce), Malcolm Danare (Poteete)
The Lords of Discipline was one of the last in a string of youth-oriented military movies that appeared in the early 1980s, including Taps (1981) and An Officer and a Gentleman (1983). However, it has neither the idealism of the former (even with its tacked-on seemingly happy ending), nor the romance of the latter.
The story is set at the fictional Carolina Military Institute in South Carolina, some time during the mid-1960s when America was in a period of profound social change. Although at first the film seems to be about the school's difficulty in incorporating its first African-American cadet, it soon turns into a sort of quasi-mystery about one honest cadet's battle against a secretive group-within-the-group. Known as "The Ten," this group is determined to ensure that all those who don't "fit in" according to their standards are run out of the school.
The main character is a senior cadet named Will McLean, effectively portrayed by David Keith, who looks like a less severe version of Patrick Swayze. Will is something of a misfit, and the only reason he is at the school is because it was his dying father's wish. He has been taken under the wing of the school's cadet commander, a salty old cigar-chomping colonel known as Bear (Robert Prosky). Bear asks Wills to keep an eye on the new black cadet, Pearce (Mark Breland), because Bear knows there will be trouble and Pearce will need an older cadet to stand up for him. Will isn't excited about the idea, but because of the respect and friendship he shares with Bear, he agrees.
It doesn't take long for the pressure to mount on Pearce--he is systematically attacked with racial slurs and extreme physical exercise, but it's really no worse than any of the freshman "knobs" are getting, especially on the fabled "Hell Night." However, once "The Ten" get involved, everything changes. The movie establishes the danger of "The Ten" by first depicting their physical and mental torture of another freshman, this one a chubby slacker who ends up throwing himself off a building in desperation. This suicide is probably the most gratuitous scene in the film, not because it's graphically violent, but because once it happens, the character is virtually forgotten. (Somehow, I have a hard time believing that if a military school lost a freshman to suicide in the first week, there wouldn't be some kind of significant investigation and press coverage.)
Before the suicide, Will had never heard about "The Ten." When he asks Bear about it, Bear is allusive. Was he, perhaps, a past member? And who are the current members? Infuriated that "The Ten" are able to break the school's strict codes of conduct at their leisure and suspecting that the school itself is secretly backing them, Will sets out to unmask the group and put a stop to their reign of terror.
The framework of The Lords of Discipline is thus the typical one man and his righteousness versus the group and their evil doings. As directed by Franc Roddam, it's a fairly effective thriller, although it sometimes feels too mean-spirited and sadistic. Roddam, a British director making his U.S. debut after the successful 1979 film version of The Who's rock opera Quadrophenia, gives the film a stylistic polish that makes it go down that much easier. Roddam was on the brink of becoming a major director at this point, and his follow-up film, 1985's stylish Bride of Frankenstein-remake The Bride, and contribution to 1987's Aria, which also featured such luminary auteurs as Jean-Luc Godard, Robert Altman, Nicolas Roeg, and Bruce Beresford, should have catapulted him to the front ranks of international cinema. Instead, he quietly slipped away, his last contributions to film being two made-for-TV movies in the late 1990s, Moby Dick (1998) and Cleopatra (1999).
The film was based on a novel by Pat Conroy, the same man who wrote the novels on which The Great Santini (1979) and The Prince of Tides (1991) were based. It contains Conroy's typically melodramatic and intense treatment of characters and situations, but there is a strain of realism because Conroy attended The Citadel, which is the obvious inspiration for the fictional Carolina Military Institute. Pairing The Great Santini and The Lords of Discipline, it isn't hard to see that Conroy doesn't have much good will toward the effects the military life.
One of the major disappointments in The Lords of Disciplineis its coarse and ill-defined treatment of racial matters. It seems that every single character is racist, even those with whom we're suppose to be siding, including Bear, Will, and his three roommates, Dante Pignetti, a.k.a. "Pig" (Rick Rossovich), Mark (John Lavachielli), and Trado (Mitchell Lichtenstein). The roommates are ostensibly on Will's side and therefore on the audience's side, but the film often makes them quite difficult to like as people. The roommates and other cadets casually toss about virulent racial slurs, but little is ever made of it.
Of course, the story does take place in the South during the 1960s, so it is only to be expected that the young men would reflect the racism of the time and place in which they were raised. However, the screenplay by Thomas Pope and Lloyd Fonvielle fails to suggest that the characters ever improve their racial attitudes despite their experiences, which would have helped justify the film's often overt sadism.
At one point late in the film, Will and his roommates are on the verge of getting run out of the school for their actions against "The Ten," and in his defense Will blurts out, "I never did it for the nigger!" So, then, who did he do it for? Himself? It almost completely undermines his credibility as a character, and brings into question the film's motives. There's a small scene between Will and Pearce at the end of the film that tries to smooth everything over, but it feels forced and phony. Is Will truly proud that the school's first black cadet might actually make it, or is he just proud of himself for winning against the system, one that he embraced only at the behest of others?
In a nutshell, The Lords of Discipline wants be titillating with its sadistic violence and hazing rituals (including Pearce having the number 10 carved on his back with a knife and a torture session involving electrodes and gasoline) and then throw down a firm ruling that it was all wrong. Those who dislike the military environment could easily point this movie out as a perfect example of what's wrong with our military system. However, at the same time, those who support the military can also use the movie in their defense, citing the fact that, when the cadets play by the rules, everything works. It's only when a small group takes matters in its own hands that the system gets out of control.
However, despite the alternating sadistic/righteous tone of The Lords of Discipline, there is some fun to be had: watching for now-famous actors in early roles. Look for Judge Reinhold (Beverly Hills Cop), Michael Biehn (The Terminator, The Abyss) and especially Bill Paxton (Apollo 13, Titanic), who for reasons that are surely embarrassing to him now chose to be listed in the credits as "Wild" Bill Paxton. Ironically enough, it the two young actors who give the best performances--David Keith, who also starred in An Officer and a Gentleman, and Rick Rossovich, who most will remember as Slider in Top Gun (1986)--whose careers never really took off.

Oklahoma City's growth to shine on "American Idol"
Oklahoma City's thriving downtown and Boathouse District will be featured for an audience of millions on Season 12 of "American Idol." The show premieres at 7 p.m. Wednesday on Fox.
In July, the show held auditions in the city for the first time, and an estimated 10,000 hopefuls came to audition at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Ryan Seacrest and the production crew of "Idol" narrowed the thousands to hundreds.
Callbacks were held in October and November in Oklahoma City's Boathouse District.
"The boathouse is wonderful isn't it? It's terrific," said Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer of "American Idol" in a media conference call. "Some very, very good talent, which we were pleased with. Oklahoma City was nothing how I imagined it."
Mike Knopp, executive director of the OKC Boathouse Foundation, said the crew seemed very impressed with what they saw in Oklahoma City.
"They really wanted to have a very unique and iconic facility to showcase Oklahoma City and something that would look good on TV," Knopp said. He was present during much of the filming in the Boathouse District.
This week's episodes of "Idol" will primarily focus on auditions in New York and Chicago. The show will continue on Wednesdays and Thursdays through Jan. 31 featuring auditions in Oklahoma City, Charlotte, Long Beach, New Orleans, and San Antonio.

Empowering Bihar through renewable energy

husk power bihar
For a State growing at around 10% per annum, Bihar's power requirement is expected to be around 8000 mega watts in the in next 5 years. Bihar has a power generation capacity of 584MW compared with a demand of around 2500MW. The deficit is made up by accessing the central pool quota of 1,200MW, of which the supply is around 700MW. As a result, frequent and prolonged power outages are common across the state.
In recent times, State has approved many power projects and also worked towards increasing the production capacity...

Decostar Industries, a manufacturing division of the automotive parts supplier Magna Exteriors and Interiors, will expand its Carrollton facility to include a new building on Decoma Drive. It currently employs more than 500 workers.
"Georgia's dynamic business infrastructure continues to cultivate a growth environment that attracts and retains world leaders such as Decostar," Gov. Nathan Deal said in a prepared statement. "Our skilled workforce international logistics network and resources for innovation ensure the state's competitive position as a stronghold for manufacturing, and will help in our efforts to make Georgia the No. 1 place in the nation to do business."
Decostar Industries has secured new business to produce interior and exterior automobile parts, specifically liftgates for the Nissan Rogue, a compact crossover SUV.
To accommodate the growth, a new 64,000-square-foot facility is under construction adjacent to the existing operation in Carrollton. The company will begin hiring for the new positions in the spring. The building will also be used as a distribution center.
Partners in the project included the Georgia Department of Economic Development, Carroll Tomorrow, the Carrollton Payroll Development Authority, the city of Carrollton and Georgia Power.
"We are very appreciative of the city of Carrollton leadership and the Carrollton Payroll Development Authority for stepping up to make the project work on the community level," said Carroll Tomorrow CEO Daniel Jackson. "This is just another example of our community's ability to be proactive toward our existing industries when creating new jobs."
The project represents a total payroll investment of more than $35 million, with average salaries ranging from $50-65,000 for engineering, manufacturing, research and development and administrative positions, said Brian Dill, vice president of Economic Development and Global Commerce for Carroll Tomorrow, a public-private economic development organization.
"As the first major recruitment project for Carroll Tomorrow, we have been very proud of the growth of Decostar," said Loy Howard, chairman of Carroll Tomorrow. "We look forward to the opportunities this expansion provides for our local work force."
Carrollton Mayor Wayne Garner said he is "very proud" of the success Decostar has enjoyed in the community.
"We stand ready to assist them in their continued prosperity for the benefit for our citizens," Garner said.
Bob Brownlee, president of Canada-based Magna Exteriors and Interiors, for which Decostar supplies auto parts, said collaboration was important in the project, as well as finding common goals.
"We are pleased to be able to bring additional jobs and investment to the Carrollton area, and we look forward to continued success in the service of our customers," Brownlee said.
The commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development, Chris Cummiskey, said the expansion should add to the competitiveness of Georgia's automotive industry.
"Not only is this expansion a great addition to Georgia's automotive sector, but Decostar's expansion is a great example of how foreign direct investment (FDI) benefits the state and why it's a strategic focus for us," Cummiskey said. "FDI projects tend to pay higher-than-average wages, create high-quality jobs and invest for the long haul."
