Roth IRA's have become quite popular among the millennial generation (and beyond) and can be a great addition to your retirement savings arsenal. But Roths bring a lot of questions with them, so I wanted to create a question and answer style article to address the most popular questions and basics.
This post covers both the 2014 and 2015 calendar tax years. Why cover multiple years within the same article? Even if you are past your calendar year, it's still not too late to contribute to IRA's. You can contribute to your Roth IRA for the previous calendar year up until the tax deadline.
I'll cover most of the basics here, but you you may also want to check out the IRS Roth IRA page for more particulars, particularly those related to tax issues.
A Roth IRA is a tax-advantaged individual retirement account (individual retirement arrangement, according to the IRS). They were first allowed in 1998 and have grown very popular, particularly among younger investors, due to their promised future tax benefits. Roths are not an investment, rather they are a type of investment account that allows you to buy, sell, or hold just about any investment that you'd like – cash, bonds, options, CD's, stocks, mutual funds, etc.
Any of the online discount brokers offer Roth IRA accounts. You can open one just like any other investment account. And you can have multiple accounts.
Yes. Just reach out to the broker that you would like to move your IRA to, and they would be happy to help initiate the transfer of funds.
No. Traditional IRA contributions are tax deductible, but Roth IRA contributions are not tax deductible.
Contributions that you make to a Roth IRA are after tax, meaning that you've already paid taxes on them. As a result, you do not have to pay taxes on them ever again (excluding early withdrawals). This includes distributions when you withdraw the funds in retirement. This can be advantageous because many people predict that they will be taxed higher in retirement than they currently are. Also, some people want to lower their taxable income or pass off their IRA to their heirs, tax free.
Contributions to Traditional IRA's are tax deductible at the time of contribution, however you must pay tax on your distributions in retirement. Contributions to Roth's, on the other hand, are taxed now so that distributions in retirement are tax free. You basically decide whether or not you want to be taxed now or taxed later when choosing which to contribute to.
Which should you contribute to?
If you predict that your tax rate will be higher now than it will be in retirement, it may be to your benefit to contribute more to a Traditional IRA versus a Roth.
If you predict that your tax rate will be higher in retirement than it is now, it may be to your benefit to contribute more to a Roth IRA versus a Traditional.
And there is no reason why you can't mix it up and contribute to both.
Since you already paid taxes on them, you can with draw Roth IRA contributions tax and penalty free at any time – although I wouldn't recommend it unless it were a must – you're robbing yourself of retirement funds!
Roth IRA earning distributions cannot be made without tax and a 10% penalty until age 59.5. Earnings must be held for a minimum of 5 years.
Yes, in the event of death, disability, or first time home purchase, Roth earnings can be tax and penalty free – within limitation. Check out the previously noted IRS article for more on eligibility.
Yes. You can have both a Roth and Traditional IRA account at the same time.
Yes, you can contribute to both a traditional and Roth within the same calendar year, but the maximum IRA contribution limit allowed by the IRS is for the two combined, in total.
Yes, you can roll over a Roth 401K into a Roth IRA, just like you can roll over a Traditional 401K to Traditional IRA.
The 2014 Roth IRA maximum contribution limit is $5,500 (same as the prior year).
The 2015 maximum Roth IRA contribution is $5,500 as well.
IRA maximum do increase over time, as they are indexed to the consumer price index (CPI) – a measure of inflation. Here is the historical maximum Roth IRA contribution, over time.
|Maximum Contribution (age < 50)
|Maximum Contribution (age > 50)
|1998 - 2001
|2002 - 2004
|2006 - 2007
|2008 - 2012
|2013 - 2015
If you are age 50 or older, you can contribute an additional amount to a Roth IRA each year. This is commonly referred to as a catch-up contribution for investors nearing retirement. For 2014, the Roth IRA catch-up contribution is an additional $1,000 over the standard annual maximums. The 2015 catch up contribution is the same.
You can contribute up until the tax filing deadline in the following year. In other words, for the 2014 tax year, you can contribute up until April 15, 2015. And for 2015, it will be April 18, 2016 (April 15 falls on a Friday, so you get the weekend).
All good things have limits. It's no different with Roth IRA's. Beyond certain income thresholds, you can no longer contribute to a Roth IRA.
The 2014 Roth IRA income limits are:
The 2015 Roth IRA income limits are:

DEFINITION of 'Option Income Fund'
A type of mutual fund with the goal to generate current income for its investors from the premium it earns by selling option contracts. The profits investors earn on the options are taxed as ordinary income, not as dividends, so option income funds are best held in tax-advantaged accounts. This income generating strategy is much riskier than investing in dividend paying stocks, although the returns can be much higher.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Option Income Fund'
In his 2005 report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stating that Madoff's hedge fund was a fraud, Harry Markopolos compared the Gateway Option Income Fund (GATEX) and other option income funds to Madoff's fund. This comparison showed that Madoff's returns were not realistic. These were just two of the 29 red flags Markopolos reported to the SEC in his 19-page memo.

In search of a simple life
Louisa Wilkins talks about the nitty-gritty of the daily grind
- Image Credit: Supplied picture
- "Friends and family were becoming exasperated – some of them begging me to get a new phone so they could get in touch easily."
I have a love-hate relationship with mobile phones – I love them but they seem to hate me. So I go through them like a child goes through crayons.
When I lost my first phone in Dubai, a friend saved my new number as Louisa2. When it got up to Louisa10, he stopped saving them. I've never lost a wallet or a handbag. I lost a car key once, but it found its way back to me. So I'm not careless. But phones, well, they seem to simply walk away.
And not only have I lost more than is considered normal and acceptable, I've had more than my fair share die on me, too. Sympathetic friends often donate their old phones to me, knowing I will need them at some point. Within weeks these perfectly good devices give up the ghost. It's like they do it on purpose. When five second-hand mobiles broke within three months, I started to think I might have a magnetic energy field that interferes with their ability to work.
Sitting at my dining table one afternoon trying various permutations of old phones, batteries and battery chargers (my house is like a mobile graveyard), I lost it with upcycling. I went out and bought a brand-new, all-singing, all-dancing BlackBerry.
Six weeks later, when my beloved BB ran off with a taxi driver, I decided enough was enough. It was time to go it alone, without a mobile in my life.
It's a hard decision to make. Mobiles are not just gadgets or fashion accessories, they are an integral part of daily life. According to various studies, 80 per cent of people don't leave home without them; 67 per cent of people check them when they haven't beeped (apparently we get a dopamine hit when we get a message); and according to Time magazine, 84 per cent of people couldn't last a day without their mobile. So it seemed like a radical move, but I was determined.
After two days of finger twitching, being mobile-free was liberating. Family time was less interrupted, dog walks more relaxing and I felt more able to focus on the present. I saw it as being halfway to a 'digital detox', which seems to be all the rage.
Wellbeing resorts are offering digital detox packages; others are giving discounts to people willing to hand in their phones on arrival; experts are advocating being digital-free one day a week; bars are running digital detox nights to encourage talking and I had given up my mobile. I felt like I was part of a revolution, rebelling against time-sucking technology. It felt like a statement of wanting something more substantial out of life. A back-to-basics, tree-hugging, family-prioritising pledge. I felt like I'd turned my back on the rat race to lie in the long grass. I laughed in the face of technology. Thou shalt not be constantly contactable. Life shall be simple and good.
Only it wasn't. By the end of week one my life was in chaos. I didn't have an alarm clock so had to ask friends for wake-up calls. I kept missing the house phone because the only phone line is downstairs, and I had no idea who had called so I couldn't call back. I never knew the time. I forgot my brother's new villa number and had to knock on doors until I found him. I had to take all my personal calls at my desk.
I knew only five people's numbers. I had to start carrying a diary. When I was running late, I couldn't warn anybody. And I couldn't spontaneously change plans.
Friends and family were becoming exasperated – some of them begging me to get a new phone so they could get in touch easily. My mother said I needed one for security. "It's simply not safe," she said. "What if something happens while you're driving?"
So after three weeks of mobile-free living, I sheepishly returned to the shop like a repentant lover and got myself the cheapest (non-singing, non-dancing) phone they had. Fact is, life without a mobile may be more focused, but it's less connected.
It may be more simple, but it is infinitely less easy. So my relationship with mobiles carries on. It's rocky and unstable, but I'm willing to take the rough with the smooth.

'Tangled' eagles stop traffic on Route 101 in Bedford
Two eagles appear tangled in the roadway of Route 101 in Bedford early Sunday morning. (COURTESY PHOTO/TFC Stephanie Clarke)
A pair of bald eagles that stopped traffic on Route 101 Sunday morning for an hour were likely mating.
Stacey Cole, who has written a nature column for the Union Leader for nearly 50 years, said the middle of a busy road is an unusual location for the species to choose, but during mating season, anything can happen.
"I can't figure anything to cause two eagles to mate in the middle of the road except they were both ready to do that. I'm glad that nobody hit them," Cole said.
New Hampshire State Trooper Stephanie Clarke said she was heading out to patrol around 6:30 a.m. when she came across two cars stopped in the eastbound lane near the Everett Turnpike.
"There were two cars stopped in the middle of the road, in what looked like an accident," Clarke said.
The two eagles were tangled on the road and the drivers were trying to protect the birds, which appeared agitated, and skittish. When anything moved near them, they would make for the high-speed lane, Clarke said.
Clarke said she tried to keep the birds safe, and keep other drivers from getting into an accident while she waited for Fish and Game officers to arrive. The birds did not appear injured, she said.
"It looked like they were tangled up together," she said. "To be honest, I'm not a bird specialist."
Before Fish and Game could respond, the birds disengaged from each other and flew away.
"It was a pretty amazing spectacle to watch," Clarke said.
Cole said anyone who witnessed the event should consider themselves lucky.
"That's the most unusual story I've heard in a long time," Cole said from his Swanzey farm Sunday night. Cole said female eagles are usually courted while flying, then mate with the male in a tree. A busy highway seems like a much less likely location.
"I think I would call that an unusual event," the "Nature Talks" columnist said. "Those who have seen it or have watched are privileged to see nature in its wildest."
When the birds eventually flew off, they seemed to head in the same direction, Clarke said.
Any other day of the week, when traffic is heavier, bald eagles on the highway could have caused accidents, she said.
"Something bad could have happened," Clarke said Sunday.

A day after the Al Nusrah Front's emir for Albu Kamal in Deir Izzour issued a statement explaining that he was relinquishing the town to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham to avoid jihadist bloodshed, other Al Nusrah fighters and allied Islamist fighters captured two ISIS positions in the strategic border town. A car bomb exploded near a checkpoint by the Al Nusrah and Islamic Front shura council in Deir Izzour, and warplanes targeted a building in Albu Kamal taken over by Al Nusrah from ISIS. A suspected ISIS car bombing of a market in Damascus killed at least two people. In Aleppo, ISIS executed and crucified an ISIS fighter accused of extortion, and targeted Ikhtrin with mortars. In Raqqah, ISIS detained a civilian and another man and was targeted by regime airstrikes; ISIS is reportedly housing Chinese fighters in Tal Akdar outside Tal Abyad city. In Hasakah, ISIS and allied tribal gunmen battled regime forces. The newly created judicial council of Ghouta in Damascus, set up by Al Nusrah, Ahrar al Sham, Ajnad Al Sham, and 13 other groups, challenged ISIS to submit to its sharia court; ISIS refused. Al Nusrah and the Islamic Front battled regime forces in Homs, Reef Dimashq, and Aleppo.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham took over the strategic border town of Albu Kamal in Deir Izzour after the local Al Nusrah Front faction pledged allegiance to ISIS in order to avoid bloodshed. ISIS clashed with Al Nusrah near Kou' al-Atal and al-Tekehy in Deir Izzour, and shelled the town of Estrin in eastern Aleppo. The Al Nusrah Front and the Islamic Front battled regime forces in Hama; Reef Dimashq; and in Deraa, where Al Nusrah released a defected major and two fighters it had arrested earlier. Al Nusrah and the Islamic Front shelled ISIS-held areas in Aleppo.

Backpacks are now becoming much more accepted in the business world as well. Many come with padded pockets for your laptop computer, Ipad, Tablet & smart phones. With all these electronic gadgets you will need organizer pockets for all the power cords, adapters, business cards and everything else that completes your mobile office. Fortunately we have all these categories covered so have fun with your shopping and if you have any questions just pick up the phone and give Bag King a call.

A federal contractors' group looking to influence GSA's efforts to overhaul the pricing structure for goods and services under the agency's Multiple Award Schedule contracts says some pricing rules can be particularly damaging to IT services.
One of the biggest issues with the schedule contracts is that federal contractors have to disclose commercial pricing policies and practices, said Roger Waldron, president of the Coalition for Government Procurement. The price reduction clause in MAS contracts requires vendors that provide discounts to private-sector customers to give the same price break to government buyers.
Read the Coalition for Government Procurement's white paper.
Waldron said that dynamic was designed for a time before today's fast-moving, competitive IT market and impedes IT contractors and federal customers alike.
Waldron's group released a new white paper on GSA's schedule pricing policies on Sept. 16 in hopes of advancing efforts by the agency to rewrite its rules. GSA has been reworking the pricing rules for schedule contracts in the last two years or so, said Waldron, recognizing that markets -- especially IT services -- have changed dramatically since they were implemented in the early 1980s.
The paper lists several suggestions for changes, but Waldron said in an interview that the price reduction clause is one of the most problematic issues for IT vendors. Because the provision requires companies to disclose to federal buyers the discounts they give to private-sector customers, IT service and gear providers sometimes don't make their latest technology available through federal schedules. The cost to build the infrastructure to track pricing for services and IT gear sold via thousands of private contracts is too costly to justify, he said.
According to the white paper, professional services are now the largest part of the GSA's schedules program and have been disproportionately hurt by a "static MAS pricing policy."

It in nonsense to require that antiquated concept - if a store in Iowa cannot sell certain items they discount them to clear their shelves - under the FAARs forever that same price should now be retroactively applied to that product. Likewise, in industry to make a sale to a customer you might sweeten the pot exactly the same way to clear out old inventory to a customer still using those devices and even use it as a loss leader as part of a much larger sale or even the salesman forgo their commission on that piece part - then the company could be subject to fines and penalties and possible criminal prosecution for not giving that same price to ALL government clients forever and retroactively. It is best price PERIOD with no consideration for conditions and no time factors.
For most companies the federal government is the single largest customer. As the largest customer, we should probably get the best price for any commodity item that you sell to us. This paper is a foolish and veiled attempt to drive profit at the taxpayers' expense.
The companies that are members of this trade association would be better served by considering how this type of white paper will be received by your biggest customer. You can see a list of the members here: http://thecgp.org/member-companies.
"One of the biggest issues with the schedule contracts is that federal contractors have to disclose commercial pricing policies and practices" Really? Contract compnies would prefer not to verify that the citizens of the US getting the appropriate discounts? If the cost of doing business with the gov't is too high, then the companies will leave. It is a business decision. The policy, as it stands, insures that the tax payers are getting the proper costing.

SEOUL: North Korea on Thursday rejected a formal request from South Korea for talks next week on holding further reunions for families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War, Seoul's Unification Ministry said.
The North's negative response came as a recent upswing in cross-border ties has been soured by South Korea-US military drills and a series of North Korean rocket and missile tests.
The North said "the proper atmosphere has not been created to discuss family reunions", the Unification Ministry said in a statement.
Seoul had sent its request on Wednesday, proposing a meeting on March 12 at the border truce village of Panmunjom.
The Unification Ministry had called on Pyongyang to respond quickly and positively in view of the "pain and suffering" experienced by the separated families.
The initiative came a week after the two Koreas wrapped up the first such family reunion for more than three years - held at a mountain resort in North Korea from February 20 to 25.
On Tuesday, South Korean President Park Geun-Hye had called for reunions to be held on a regular basis and for separated families to be allowed more ways to communicate - including by mail and video conferencing.
Because the 1950-53 conflict ended with a ceasefire rather than a peace treaty, the two countries remain technically at war, and there is almost no direct contact permitted between their civilian populations.
Millions of Koreans were separated from their families by the war, and the vast majority have since died without having any communication at all with surviving relatives.
Some 71,000 - mostly aged over 70 - are still alive and wait-listed for the reunion events, for which only about 100 from each side are allowed to join each time.
The reunion programme began in earnest after a historic North-South summit in 2000, but it has constantly been hampered by volatility in cross-border relations. -AFP

GPS puts driver on snowmobile trail
That was the navigational nightmare for one motorist who became lost while trying to find a house in Epping last weekend, but instead found himself on a snowmobile trail that leads to the Lamprey River.
"He was pretty close to the river and it was pretty damp, so his passenger-side tire was taking on a little bit of water," said Officer Matthew Blonigen, who responded to the late-night call for help.
The sticky situation happened about 1 a.m. on Feb. 17 when the driver, from Massachusetts, was trying to find a place several streets away but followed the GPS into Camp Hedding, an old Methodist campground with seasonal and year-round homes tucked away in the woods under towering pine trees.
Blonigen said the GPS took the driver down a road that ends and becomes a snowmobile trail. The driver thought it most likely continued, so he drove on, passing a yellow pole indicating that it was a trail.
"He apparently didn't pay attention to that," Blonigen said, "and it definitely didn't look like a road people would drive on."
The driver had no idea that he was nearing the Lamprey River until the ground became wet - and his Audi got stuck.
"He wasn't in the river by any means, but he was close," Blonigen said.
Realizing he was in trouble, the driver decided it was time to call 911. It wasn't long before police arrived and located the vehicle about 100 yards past the snowmobile trail.
A tow truck was then called.
The driver wasn't shaken by his GPS goof up, but he wasn't very happy either.
"He was kind of upset that his car was stuck," Blonigen said.
On the bright side, this driver had better luck than a man in Alaska last year who followed his GPS after driving off a ferry and took a turn down a boat launch and landed in a harbor.
A similar incident happened to a woman in Washington state in 2011 when she mistook a boat ramp for a road while using a GPS in a rental car. She ended up in water, too.
This isn't Blonigen's first call for a motorist who was counting on his small navigational device operated by satellites.
He recalled a time in recent years when a driver had failed to update his GPS maps and didn't realize that a bridge was out on North River Road. The GPS still showed a bridge, and by the time the driver realized the bridge was gone, it was too late. Blonigen said the driver went off the road.
Incidents of drivers calling police after their GPS had led them astray are rare, but they have happened, local police said.
Hampstead police Lt. John Frazier said his department has had some motorists call to "get their bearing straight" after becoming lost or confused while following their GPS, but so far no one has ended up in water.
Frazier stressed the importance of having a "working sense of direction" when using a GPS.
"Some degree of common sense does exist, but people trying to get to the Seacoast from points south should know driving west won't get you there," he said.

Jasmine: I'm sorry if I misled you, but I have no interest in being anything but friends.Jasmine is the Gym Leader of Olivine City. She is, in her own words, "...twenty-one and five-foot-four and happily single. Okay, maybe not happily, but I am single by choice. It's no big deal, to me, but for everyone else I know�". She is infamous amongst her social circle for being hostile to all concepts of romance, love, and sex. Unfortunately for her, her innocent, anti-romantic lifestyle is under constant assault, from friends who tease her to unwanted suitors who try to woo her. Shortly into the story, Morty, a fellow Gym Leader and middle school "friend" returns into Jasmine's life and brashly declares his intent to break her of her prudishness. His boast to get her laid by New Year's Day, four months away, sets off a storm of events that destroys Jasmine's heretofore melancholic existence.Olivine Romance is a Pok�mon fanfic that follows Gym Leader Jasmine as she struggles with questions of love, maturation, sex, friendship, career, and family. It is written by fanfic author Snowden (no, not THAT Snowden) and can be found at fanfic site Archive of Our Own.There are also several side-stories within the same universe that occur before the events of Olivine Romance: ''Succession'', a story told from Steven's point-of-view, and ''Transmutation'', the events of HGSS told from Silver's point-of-view.

Can i get a broken philips hdtv fixed?
We bought a $900 philips flat screen tv last year. I was threw a ball that hit it and the screen is all webbed looking. It looks fine when not on so it didn't go through the screen. I just want to know if it is fixable and how much?
Basically what you just did is wrecked the LCD panel. This is the equivalent of wrecking a car to the point where it will need a whole new engine, usually it's totaled.
The LCD panel will have to be replaced, but this will probably exceed the value of the television.

Philips Flat Screen TV
Phillips new Ambilight 56PFL9954 is the first LCD TV to match Cinemascope's aspect ratio of 21:9 (2.39:1). Unlike 16:9 aspect ratio more commonly found in wide-screen televisions, this set can display movies with no black bars. Blu-Ray and DVD disks are designed around 16:9, including the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, so the Ambilight has a process to remove them automatically. Resolution is a staggering 2560 x 1080p, and upscaling works well, without the jagged edges or fuzziness normally associated with the process.
With only a millisecond-long refresh time, Philips claims the new Ambilight is the fastest LCD TV on the market. Motion blur is almost nonexistent at this speed. The Philips 56PFL9954 also has a 80,000:1 contrast ratio putting it near the top, while shading is near plasma performance. Like other Ambilight sets, light shines from the top and sides of the screen's back to match the overall colour on the screen, helping increase the appearance of contrast.
Because of its curious aspect ratio, most broadcast TV will have black bars on the sides, even at 1080p; this can be stretched to fill the screen, but it also means the image is distorted slightly. This may not be noticeable for regular television, but this process doesn't display a few of the bars on the top and bottom of the image, which can cut off news scrolls and status displays in video games. While the Ambilight offers the usual array of setting to satisfy videophiles, there is also a much simpler mode in which pictures are displayed on-screen showing the different settings: to adjust a setting, simply pick the picture which looks the best.
Despite a diagonal measurement of 56 inches, the screen's wide format means that the height is about the same as a regular 42 inch screen. This size has another benefit: there's plenty of room for speakers. The set's Virtual Dolby surround sound provided by two woofers and two tweeters. While better than most flat screen TV's, a separate surround sound system is really the way to go, especially if you want to match audio quality with the 56PFL9954's visuals.
Computer connections are plentiful on the 56PFL9954, including Ethernet, USB, and 802.11g Wi-Fi. Unlike other brands, Philips' NetTV software has a full browser, allowing users to do everyday web tasks, as well as view on-line video services like YouTube and BBC iPlayer. There is also support for MP3, WMA, JPEG, AVI, WMV, and all manner of MPEG files. Video can enter via five HDMI connectors, two Scart connectors, and one CAM slot, while speakers can be added with its coaxial digital output.
The 56PFL9954's stands out from other high-end LCD TV's thanks to its extra-wide screen, designed around fitting movies across the entire display. Aside from movie viewing, the TV's performance is excellent. This is backed by an extensive array of supported connections, as well as good support for on-line video.

There's a cool California vibe at this cozy, moodily lit sushi-and-seafood restaurant that serves some of the freshest fish in town. Restaurateur Matt Rimel runs a commercial fishing company and uses his connections to bring in seafood from all over the world that excels, whether raw or cooked. Seasonal specialties include buttery otoro (tuna belly) and local sea urchin fresh from its spiny shell. Sushi, which can be pricey, ranges from simple nigiri to beautiful
sashimi plates and original rolls like the Salmon Spider, which combines soft-shell crab with fresh salmon. Cooked dishes run from noodle bowls and grass-fed Montana prime sirloin seared at the table on a hot stone, to whole fried rockfish or spicy "dynamite" lobster.

We've all been faced with the realities of what to do with books.

While local public libraries frequently accept books and make them available for their book sales, sometimes people may want to consider another route. This presentation will provide insight on what makes a book rare or collectible, why some old books are valuable, and what resources are available to provide assistance in decision making. The presenter will bring examples from his own collection of books for discussion and those in attendance may do likewise.

Mar Vista project will be reviewed again
Date: May 22, 2013
by: Kurt Schultheis | Managing Editor
More than 40 Longbeach Village residents packed Town Hall for the Longboat Key Town Commission's Monday, May 20 regular workshop to request the commission reconsider a Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub site-plan amendment and special-exception approval.
It turns out they didn't need to ask.
At the start of the workshop, Mayor Jim Brown announced Mar Vista owner Ed Chiles has requested a rehearing, and the project will be reviewed again at a later date.
The news didn't stop a large portion of the audience from rising to the podium to denounce the project. Some residents even suggested the hearing shouldn't be held again until October, when more Village residents will be back in town.
That request might become a reality if the town can't advertise the hearing sufficiently before the commission has its summer hiatus in July and August.
What commissioners approved May 6 increases restaurant seating by 11 spots with a second-story waterfront dining addition and adds a meeting room and small deck in an adjacent historic house that could be used for private parties.
Currently, the restaurant at 760 Broadway has 169 indoor and outdoor seats.
The major change for the restaurant in the application, though, involves an old house, dubbed the Jordan House, which sits behind the restaurant closer to Broadway. The old house is currently used for storage, and Chiles wants to utilize it for patrons.
Village residents have expressed concern with the approval and are worried the restaurant's total maximum occupancy capacity (either sitting or standing) now reaches 331 total possible patrons.
Chiles, though, said the 331 number is one he will never come close to exceeding. Chiles said he would never put more than 60 people in the meeting space, and if the restaurant is full in season, he has no intention of scheduling gatherings in the meeting room at the same time.
Several Village residents also told commissioners they live within 500 feet of Mar Vista and didn't receive proper written notice that the Planning and Zoning Board and the Town Commission were reviewing the project. Town Manager Dave Bullock said town staff is investigating the complaint.
Commissioner Jack Duncan made a motion that other commissioners approved to review the project. Planning, Zoning and Building Director Robin Meyer told the Planning and Zoning Board Tuesday that the project is coming back before the planning board first at a future date.
Currently 1 Response
- 1.
- As a resident who will be greatly affected by the Mar Vista expansion plans, I thought you summed up the situation most accurately with one exception. You characterize the application as a slight expansion when in fact it is an almost doubling of the current occupancy.
As it now stands, even before the expansion, the streets in the area are already plugged with cars on several nights of the week. Of course we are concerned when a plan is passed that could easily result in another fifty to a hundred more cars being parked in the neighborhood. Lois Street is already turned into a one-way street several nights of the week as cars park on both sides, effectively leaving one center lane.
I will assume you faithfully reported all of the rules and regulations Mar Vista must follow once this expansion takes place. What I don't assume is that any of these rules and regulations will actually be enforced. The people who are going to enforce these provisions are the same people that apparently think the bulk of the restaurant's patrons arrive by boat and bicycle. And does someone want to tell me where the valet parking is? Perhaps we can have them valet park in Commissioner Brenner's neighborhood. Or maybe restaurant patrons can simply park in Commissioner Gans' neighborhood and be bussed in and out. Are you guys for real?
If Mr. Chiles wants to expand on Longboat Key, why not take over the lease on the west end of the Publix mall. Or better yet, there is an entire Whitney Plaza to expand into.
The bottom line is that Mar Vista does not have the infrastructure to support the expansion in this neighborhood. If the expansion does take place, this neighborhood will look just like the neighborhood surrounding the Sandbar. The word blighted comes to mind.

Reigning colours
Nov 23, 2009
The event as well as the day was beautiful when children began to paint.
The Hindu Young World painting competition 2009 held in Tiruchi recently evoked a good response. Unmindful of the inclement weather, 320 of the 400 students who were called from schools in the central and western districts of the State turned up for the finals. As they stepped into Barbier Hall of St. Joseph's College with high expectations, they found to their comfort that the topics were familiar and to their liking: "A day at the beach or zoo" or "Evenings at the park" for juniors, and "Landscape – rice fields, mountains, rivers" or "Your favourite place in the city" for seniors.
The winning paintings were those that had the ideas, presentation and the right choice of colours matching the natural settings. "Painting is all about a right combination of the three factors," explained the judges M. Ayyappa and M. Rajappa, professional artist brothers from Pudukkottai.
Speaking at the prize-distribution ceremony, P.V. Giridhar, director, South Zone Cultural Centre (SZCC), mooted the proposal to build "Students' Artiste Bank" in schools in association with The Hindu. He advised schools to start cultural clubs and register the same with the centre or The Hindu. R.S.K. H.S. School, Tiruchi, won five prizes, including the first and second prizes in the Junior category. The SBIOA team bagged two prizes: third in the senior category and a consolation prize among juniors. Students from Sri Vidya Bharathi M.H.S. School, Salem, won two consolation prizes.
Senior winners (first to third): J. Venkatramanan of Std. X (he has retained the first prize for the second consecutive year), D.B.T.R. National H.S. School, Mayavaram; S. Priyadharshini, Std. IX student of St. Joseph's M.H.S. School, Salem; and J. Pravin of Std. IX, SBIOA M.H.S. School, Tiruchi. The consolation prize winners were N.V. Shakthi Hari (Std. IX) of Aditya Birla Public School, Ariyalur; J. Bhagyashree and R. Elakkiya, Std. IX students of Sri Vidya Bharathi M.H.S. School, Salem; P. Leo Selva Prathish (Std. VIII) of S.R.V. M.H.S. School, Samayapuram; Ra. Guhan (Std. VIII) of Sri Akilandeswari Vidyalaya, Tiruchi; M. Muthumani (Std. IX) of P.A. Vidya Bavan H.S. School, Karur; and M.P. Ranjani (Std. VIII) of R.S.K. H.S. School, Tiruchi.
Juniors: K.R. Kiran (Std. VI) of R.S.K. H.S. School; M. Muhil (Std. VII), also of the same school, and K. Sharath Chandiran (Std. IV) of Sri Vidhya Bharathi M.H.S. School, Salem. Consolation prize winners comprised P. Sangavi of R.S.K. H.S. School; A. Prasath (Std. VI) of Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Tiruchi; J. Ronisha Christina (Std. VI) of R.S.K. H.S. School, Tiruchi; R. Robinson (Std. VII) of St. Joseph's College H.S. School, Tiruchi; V. Krithikaa Dheee (Std. VII) of SBIOA M.H.S. School, Tiruchi; T.S. Pavithra (Std. VII) of Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Nagapattinam; and S. Dhanush (Std. IV) of Good Shepherd English School, Nedungadu, Karaikal.
