Morgans Hotel Group Enters Transformative Deal With Yucaipa Companies To Reduce Debt And Preferred Stock By $230 Million
NEW YORK, April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Morgans Hotel Group Co. (NASDAQ: MHGC) ("Morgans" or the "Company"), the New York-based hospitality management company, today announced that it has signed agreements with The Yucaipa Companies (" Yucaipa") to cancel Yucaipa's interests in the Company's convertible notes, preferred stock and stock warrants in exchange for the Company's ownership interests in Delano South Beach and The Light Group. This marks the culmination of a 15-month exploration process by a Special Committee of the Board to review strategic alternatives.
The Company will continue to operate Delano South Beach pursuant to a long-term management agreement. In addition, the agreements provide that the Company will launch a $100 million rights offering available to all Morgans' shareholders, which Yucaipa will backstop at no-fee should the rights not be exercised in full. The combined transactions will reduce Morgans' debt and preferred stock obligations by $230 million, which includes the elimination of $113 million of debt maturing in 2014. In addition, after retiring the credit facility secured by Delano South Beach, which currently has $35 million of outstanding obligations, the Company projects it will have $65 million of cash remaining from the rights offering.
"This is a transformative deal that will significantly improve our financial position and accelerate the strategic development of our business," said Michael Gross, CEO of Morgans. "The asset swaps and rights offering will dramatically strengthen our balance sheet, significantly reduce our debt obligations and risk profile, and also eliminate significant near-term maturities. In addition, the cancellation of the preferred stock and warrants will result in a simplified and more flexible capital structure for our shareholders."
Mr. Gross also noted: "We are announcing this important deal in the context of strong momentum in our business. We expect first quarter System-Wide Comparable RevPAR to be up 16% to 18%, which is the highest rate of growth since the first quarter of 2007, and at Hudson we expect room revenue to be up around 40%. We are also seeing increased interest from development partners in our target regions and expect to announce new management and branding agreements in the coming months. With the recent opening of Delano Marrakech, the completion of Hudson's room renovations and eight new hotels projected to open in the next three years, we are excited about our ability to expand our business and increase shareholder value."Under the agreements, Morgans will transfer its ownership interests in Delano South Beach and The Light Group (including its obligations under $18 million in promissory notes) to Yucaipa in exchange for the cancellation of the following securities held by Yucaipa:
- $88 million principal amount of the Company's 2.375% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2014;
- 75,000 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Securities, with an accumulated preference amount of $99 million; and
- Warrants to acquire 12.5 million shares of the Company's common stock at $6.00 per share until April 2017.

Alan Wake is finally a reality. We've reviewed it and everything. But while it may not be quite as great as we'd hoped, the graphical effects are certainly woth crowing about. Aside from the wonderful lighting effects, the cloth physics in particular deserve some praise. Especially as cloth is probably the third-hardest thing to render after skin and water.
People have tried it for years - with varying degrees of success. So here's a quick timeline of cloth physics to get all flowy about.
But they were still clearly flat. What we needed was polygons.
PSone's Soul Calibur predecessor Soul Blade is memorable for its cloth physics, mainly because they were 'always on', even if you paused the game. Any hot-headed teenage gamers trying to see up Sophitia's skirt were met with cloth physic censorship. Denied.
Above: Yup, that's it - stab him in his furry pants while he's distracted
Ironically, developers already knew exactly how cloth physics were supposed to look, there just wasn't the technology to do it. For some strange reason, it's another girl's flowing attire that was used for the best application - Ridge Racer Type 4's Reiko Nagase. Observe this pre-rendered intro from 1999 to see the cloth physics pipedream of PSone-era devs.
One day, we'd get that kind of cloth movement in the games themselves. But wait... what's this?
The Dreamcast version of Virtua Fighter 3 was an odd one for cloth physics. Some costumes were lavishly flowing, while others stuck out from characters' bodies like cardboard flaps. At least Aoi's clothes worked properly - look at these:
Thank goodness we live in the age of decent 3D at last. Batman's cape is everything a cape should be. It's long. It stays in the air where his body was a mere second earlier. It hangs from his shouldesr properly instead of glitching around his neck. It's like someone took a real cape and programmed it into the game. Check it out:
We're getting there. Alan Wake, Batman, Bayonetta, FIFA... today's cloth physics are amazing. Look at SSFIV's post-fight victory screen for Ibuki. It may well be a preset action, but the way the cloth over her face stretches realistically away from her mouth and doesn't flicker around between her fingers is just sublime.
Anyone coming to games right now would think this is easy. We've actually had some 20 years of wondering 'what demon has done this to my robes?'

It Takes a Special Person to Be a DentistIt takes a special kind of person to be a dentist... and that type of person can be summed up with the term "sadistic jerk". People tend to take jobs they enjoy (outside the minimum wage realm), and anyone who enjoys dentistry should be arrested and locked away.

Workers were building a pre-production Dodge Dart in February at the Chrysler assembly plant in Belvidere, Ill. / Scott Olson/Getty Images

Chrysler said Wednesday that it will keep four plants running through July without observing the traditional two-week summer shutdown and has begun production of the Dodge Dart in Belvidere, Ill.
Belvidere, Toluca, Mexico, Toledo, and Jefferson North will stay open to keep up with demand, which for many Chrysler products continues running well ahead of the industry's overall selling pace.
The company announced earlier this week that Jefferson North in Detroit would build the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs without interruption in July.
In addition, plants in Sterling Heights and Saltillo, Mexico, will observe the summer shutdown only for one week, the company said.
Normally, the Detroit Three automakers and the UAW agree to halt production for two weeks in July because it enables the companies to balance their inventories with consumer demand and gives skilled-trades workers time to install equipment needed for new models.
But this year Chrysler needs to boost production to keep up. Its 2012 U.S. sales are up 33.4% through April from a year earlier, while industry sales have risen 10.3%.
Workers in Belvidere began framing the 2013 Dodge Dart compact car on Monday. Framing involves welding together the floor, sides and roof of a vehicle in a body shop. Chrysler invested $700 million to build a new 638,000-square-foot body shop at the factory in northwest Illinois.
Contrary to some news media reports, both Chrysler and a UAW official said production of the Dart is on schedule and is not delayed by electrical problems.
"That's not true," said George Welitschinsky, president of UAW Local 1268, when asked about possible electrical issues with the Dart. "The first Darts should start coming off of the line on Friday or Monday."
Chrysler is hiring an additional 1,800 workers at the plant, which will employ a total of about 4,500 by the end of this year. They have hired more than 600 of those 1,800, Welitschinsky said.
Reid Bigland, president and CEO of Dodge, said in March that Chrysler plans to build about 2,000 Dodge Darts this month and another 8,000 in June. Chrysler also builds the Jeep Compass and Patriot SUVs at the Illinois plant.
The other products made at the plants that will work through the shutdown are:Dodge Journey, Fiat 500 and Fiat Freemont -- Toluca Assembly Plant, Toluca, Mexico.
Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited -- Toledo Supplier Park, Toledo, Ohio.
Chrysler 200, Dodge Avenger and Lancia Flavia -- Sterling Heights Assembly, Sterling Heights.
Ram light- and heavy-duty trucks -- Saltillo Truck Assembly Plant, Saltillo, Mexico.

Andy Ihnatko switches to Android
Andy Ihnatko kicked off a multi-part series for TechHive that talks about why he has switched from the iPhone 4S to the Galaxy S III. It wasn't a trivial move as he gave up an unlimited data plan, grandfathered from his first-generation iPhone purchase, in order to switch.
In the first part of the series, Ihnatko details some of the killer features that drove him to switch, but it comes down to this:
I made a slow, cautious and careful examination of what I want and need from my phone, and at the end of this mobile warrior's pilgrimage, I couldn't escape the conclusion that the best phone for me is no longer an iPhone.
Ihnatko will spend the next few posts discussing several features that he likes in Android. The series will end with a post summarizing why he feels Apple hasn't lost its way, even if it temporarily has lost a high-profile advocate.
You can read the first post in the series on TechHive's website.

Government shutdown could cause some Southeast Texans national flood insurance premiums to skyrocket
BRIDGE CITY - by Lauren Huet
The government shutdown might cause a number of families along the Southeast Texas coast to pay skyrocketing national flood insurance premiums. Some members of Congress wanted to delay the rising rates and search for answers, but the shutdown changed everything.
Hurricane Ike flooded most of Bridge City in 2008. Now, it's responsible for high rates that may rise as high as the water from the storm.
Bridge City homeowner Charles Uzzle remembered the damage the storm caused.
"Me and my wife stood here," said Uzzle. "I had water over the slab [of the house] for four days. The third day we came in and it was about knee deep. We looked at each other--'you want to stay here?' 'Ya.' 'Okay, this ain't happening again. We going that way,'" he said, pointing up.
Which is exactly where they went. Uzzle and his wife rebuilt their home and elevated it above the water's highest point during Ike. However, if it's not up to the Flood Act's standards, even he could pay a higher premium.
The mayor of Bridge City, Kirk Roccaforte, said the increased insurance premiums are over the top.
"There's some increased rates of three to four thousand percent. It's not even affordable," said Roccaforte.
FEMA rolled out new flood maps to reflect the storm surge during Ike. These maps place 85 percent of Bridce City in a flood zone.
"And in doing so are making our homes really devalued," said Roccaforte, "because of the fact that the insurance cost will increase to the point where the homeowner will really not be able to afford the cost of that insurance."
Which makes some homes unsellable.
"We've had people even looking at going ahead and selling their home because they're afraid of what's going to happen in the future," said Roccaforte, "and they're home will not be sellable based on the flood insurance costs."
Roccaforte said he's seen ill effects from the Biggert-Waters Act since June.
"Our city cannot survive some of these rates that they're trying to do," he said. "It's just killed our growth, it's slowed down our housing, it's kind of stalemated the city at the moment."
Realtors tell home owners to prepare for changes.
Wilma Horner with ReMax Realty advised people to, "get themselves an elevation report, find out where they're at, get with their representative, fight this. Get with their insurance company, find out what's involved. Don't sit in their home and say it's not going to happen to me because it could easily happen to you."
Even if rates rise, Charles Uzzle said he wants to stay.
"I mean, I've been here for all my life pretty much," said Uzzle, "and can't see a reason to move. I've been a lot of places but it's always good to come home."

Fuel economy tops the list of things people look for in a new car, and it can be even more of a determining factor when purchasing or leasing your next ride. NY1's Tara Lynn Wagner filed the following "Money Matters" report.
Bye bye gas guzzlers. From hybrids to hydrogen, fuel efficiency was the focus of a recent discussion hosted by Consumer Reports.
"Two thirds of car buyers say they expect their next model to have better fuel economy than their current one. So consumers are looking for fuel efficient vehicles," says Jim Guest, president and CEO of Consumer Reports.
The good news is, you don't have to look too hard.
"There's lots of different choices that people can buy that give them fuel efficient options, whether you want a pickup truck or a convertible or you know an SUV, you can find something that will meet that need," explains Eric Evarts, senior associate auto editor for Consumer Reports.
Hybrids, once a novelty, are now more common and have been commanding a big spot in the market.
"About 16 percent of our sales of Lexus and Toyota are hybrid models so they are definitely mainstream," says Wade Hoyt of Toyota, Lexus and Scion.
While these vehicles tend to cost a little more, Chris Naughton, the northeast regional manager for Honda and Acura media relations, says, "They always cost more, a bit more because you have essentially two power trains in the car."
However, the premium isn't so high that it puts the vehicles out of reach.
"A standard hybrid you're looking at maybe $1,500 to $3,000 over something else that's comparable in its class. And you can get, depending on the hybrid, you can get a little bit more mileage to really stunning mileage," says Evarts.
Not that fuel efficiency is or should be the only concern. There's also resale value, another area hybrids tend to handle very well.
"People are interested in fuel economy, and that's true for used car buyers too. And so most hybrids have pretty low depreciation. If you take that into effect, it doesn't cost you any money if you turn around and sell the car in a year for some models," notes Evarts.
When it comes to hybrids, city drivers are likely to see the best results in terms of fuel economy, but experts say for drivers who regularly go a distance, don't rule out a diesel.
"For people who have long highway commutes, diesels are the perfect vehicles. We're seeing some of these that are getting 45, 47 miles per gallon on the highway," says Evarts.
Of course, you may opt to pull the plug on pumping altogether. In our next report, we'll look at the costs associated with electric cars and plug-in hybrids.

The worst-hit companies are small businesses with turnovers of below 5 million euro ($7 million). These companies are still the majority in the sector in numerical terms, though they account for just 10% of total turnover. Small businesses have experienced falls in turnover of more than 32%, in line with the drop in production reported by their client ceramic companies in Italy (where they generate virtually all of their business). For this reason, the micro-companies belonging to Acimac are the most pessimistic regarding the outlook for 2010. These are also the companies that have made the greatest use of social shock-absorbers and are expecting to continue to use them next year.
Larger companies have reported slightly less negative results. These companies are more active in international markets and are therefore less dependent on the performance of individual markets. For this and other reasons, their forecasts for 2010 are cautiously optimistic. Signs of recovery began to appear during the last few months of 2009 and provide hope that the sector will remain buoyant.
The employment situation in the Italian ceramic and heavy clay machinery sector appears to be less alarming than the national average in the manufacturing goods sector. The majority of companies have made limited use of the available social shock-absorbers. On average, the wages guarantee fund was adopted for around three months and only affected production personnel. The forecasts for 2010 are more cautious, although the majority of surveyed companies confirm that they will not need to resort to the wages guarantee fund unless market conditions worsen.
This situation is partly a result of the organizational structure of companies in the ceramic machinery sector, which have always had a very lean personnel structure and make significant use of production outsourcing. Although there are no official data, the Acimac Studies Centre believes that the employment situation is certainly more difficult for its member companies' suppliers and sub-suppliers.
The Acimac Studies Centre has confirmed its moderately positive forecasts for 2010. Encouraging, if unconfirmed, signs are arriving from several foreign markets, particularly North Africa; Turkey; and South America, where Brazil, one of the world's largest manufacturing countries, appears to have resumed growth. On the other hand, the European market is expected to remain highly stagnant and continues to cause serious concern.

Game rewind: It wasn't pretty, but the Spurs won't complain
For much of Wednesday's game, it appeared that neither Orlando nor San Antonio had much impetus to win their game.

Their first road victory of […] [Read More]

Taylorsville business celebrates cash register centennial

Staff Writer
What do you get for a 100-year-old cash register on its birthday? Cash would seem the obvious answer. However, at the party Kelly Tan and her family have planned for their centennial register, at Young's Market in Taylorsville on Saturday, Oct. 18, she thinks cake will suffice.
That's why she's holding a cake contest, along with many other activities, for anyone who wishes to attend.
The party will be from 1 to 5 p.m. There will be free food and beverages; samples of fine cheeses; live music; and homemade, nitrate-free barbecued sausage — free-range chicken will also go on the barbecue.

Koko FitClub's automated personal-training system rockets both men and women toward fitness goals with 30-minute custom workouts that incorporate cardio and strength training. An initial consultation determines fitness level and baseline measurements, which Koko's computerized equipment uses to design a tailored workout plan that precisely measures the weight, pace, and rest time appropriate for each exerciser.
The patented Smartraining machines guide exercisers through each workout and adapt as the user's fitness needs change, to constantly challenge the body. Exercisers can track their results and body composition measurements online and even compare individual fitness levels to others in the Koko FitClub community.
Fitness Together pairs up personal trainers with goal-oriented clients. Customized workout plans help them reach such fitness milestones as benching a certain amount of weight, running a marathon, or crab-walking a 5K. Sessions combines resistance and cardio training with nutritional advice.
Yoga Country's class options vary from fast-paced cardio workouts for weight loss to traditional yoga sessions that promote inner consciousness while reducing stress. Go to a deep and stretchy session to increase flexibility while reducing aches and pains, or build cardio endurance in a hard-core flow class. A yoga basics course can teach poses and alignment necessary to begin stretching like a bungee cord over a river of refreshing Tang. With classes every day of the week, the schedule offers something to suit the calendar of even the busiest pistachio shucker.
Curves provides you with a complete cardio and strength training workout in just 30 minutes. With a system that can burn up to 500 calories and work every major muscle group, you get an efficient and effective workout every visit. It's no wonder over 4 million women have chosen Curves to meet their health goals.
Robbie Michelle Short holds three titles at Half Moon Yoga: owner, certified instructor, and spiritual chef. She tries to whip up "spiritual food" to accompany each of her lessons, dispensing sage quotations or morsels of philosophy that inspire her students. This emphasis on personal peace infuses the entire studio, where the curriculum incorporates a meditative element into numerous yoga disciplines. Teachers weave stories of serene imagery during Blissful Flow classes and segue from ashtanga's salutations to dynamic poses without sacrificing introspection. Their workshops—which include seminars for beginners and walking meditation through Aspen Grove Park—also balance the focus between physical and emotional training.
The studio accepts yoga students of all skill levels and supplies guests with the necessary props, mats, and sunglasses for auras that glow too brightly. In addition to their classes, the staff hosts a variety of energy treatments, from reiki to Indian champiassage—a soothing type of bodywork for the neck, back, and shoulders.
"This is not a gym," Kelly Barbera told Southern Exposure Magazine in 2010. "This is a boutique-style studio where everybody knows everybody." Kelly, a former acrobat, and her husband, Joey—a former wrestler and magician who, with the help of his twin brother, performed a successful disappearing act in Las Vegas—run Temple Fitness. In their cozy orange-and-highlighter-green space bedecked with inspirational quotes, the two line the walls with everything comprehensive fitness programs need, from kettlebells to a room dedicated to TRX equipment. The studio wears many hats, with the two designing an assorted handful of fitness and health modalities: women's-only FEM Method classes, personal training, CrossFit, men's strength camp, and nutritional planning.
Together, they push exercisers through routines characterized by an abundance of positive feedback and motivation, a hallmark of their gym. Periodically, the two open the facility to host Able Youth nonprofit boot camp for kids confined to wheelchairs.

Deutsche Telekom And IBM Collaborate To Help Build Smarter Cities
BONN, Germany and ARMONK, N.Y., Feb. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Deutsche Telekom and IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced today a collaboration to provide an integrated solutions portfolio that enables cities to make smarter use of their services through intelligent data capture and analysis. The Smarter Cities solutions will build on IBM's expertise from thousands of smarter city engagements combined with Deutsche Telekom's global Machine-to-Machine (M2M) capabilities, which include M2M solutions integration and advanced network connectivity.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )
The M2M communication technology facilitates the automated exchange of information between terminal equipment such as machines, vehicles and containers or with a central control center – creating an interconnectivity often referred to as the "Internet of Things." By using sensors embedded in a wide array of systems serving the public -- such as a traffic lights, public transport vehicles or parking spaces -- M2M technology can report on the status of the system being monitored via the Internet in real-time. Combining this technology with IBM's Smarter Cities expertise will enable intelligent, real-time decision-making allowing for services such as intelligent traffic management, route optimization, bus or train arrival prediction, and parking space management.
The Smarter Cities solutions from Deutsche Telekom and IBM will notably benefit municipalities as they deliver significant cost efficiencies through better use of their existing infrastructure and improved planning of resources. This will help cities more quickly design and deploy next-generation intelligence systems that improve sustainability. It will also improve the quality of life for citizens, who will be able to anticipate traffic delays and bus or train arrivals when travelling, find public parking spots more easily, and gain improved access to a wide array of relevant city information and services, for example."M2M is a technology with enormous growth potential as it adds real value to our daily lives, both in business and privately," said Thomas Kiessling, Chief Product and Innovation Officer at Deutsche Telekom. "Our joint Smarter Cities initiative gives us the opportunity to work with cities across the globe and offer them valuable end-to-end solutions that help support public welfare as well as their economic growth in the future." "Cities are asking their trusted providers to deliver new ways to help them become more innovative. This initiative demonstrates how IBM is working with clients and partners to find new and sustainable ways to solve pressing client challenges," said Dr. Michael J Dixon, general manager, IBM Global Smarter Cities.

Reviews of Toms River Wood Stairs & Railing Contractors
Edison, NJ
It was truly great working with Luis! Very friendly and hardworking. Cleans up well after he is done. Felt safe and comfortable working with him in my house. Our wood stairs, railings and balusters look great. He went the extra mile to order and bring the materials we chose ( we chose the Utah collection). His Price was the most competitive, and he also finished the job with staining and varnish. Other contractors we called don't do staining and varnishing, so we would have to spend more than $1000 to get it done from someone else. Will recommend Luis and hire him again if needed.
Hazlet, NJ
Luis was very professional and came prepared with books of wood railing and a swatch of stains. He did what I wanted and then some. Fair priced too. I would recommend luis to anuone who asked he does great work.
Leonardo, NJ
Luis was amazing to deal with! His work was fantastic he was very professional as well as clean! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Does anyone know the rules about this in Texas? I'm in the Dallas area. I've been doing cakes for people I know, but I'm hesitant to really start doing business until I know all the rules. I know other people in the area have cake businesses out of their homes, but I'm not sure if they've done anything formal or legal to be able to do it.

Severe Europe-Wide Recession Likely for 2012
Once again, as an aside, under this scenario, you can expect the value of the euro to fall relative to other currencies. Of course, if the U.S. Fed embarks on QE3, the euro's relative value to the dollar may well hold.
Recidivism?Of course, once the crisis atmosphere passes and things settle down, under this most likely scenario, the peripheral countries may not feel the pressure to continue with their promised austerity. Don't forget, politics plays a large role and austerity often leads to political defeat for those politicians who negotiated it. Already we have seen political changes in Greece, Italy and Spain as a result of this crisis.
Perhaps these countries will follow Greece's lead and hire Goldman Sachs to help them issue off the books debt so that they have the appearance of complying with their austerity promises. That could very well buy several years, as it did for Greece. (Ireland appears to be an exception. After their bailout, they appear to have abided by their austerity promises and have made great progress in addressing their fiscal and economic issues. Then, again, none of Ireland's shores touch the Mediterranean Sea.)
Issues RemainSo, as we enter 2012, the stage is set for some calming over Europe's sovereign debt and the solvency of Europe's banks. Mind you, it may be a rocky road over the near term to get there including setbacks and lots of uncertainty and market volatility. The biggest issues will likely revolve around the magnitude of the guarantees and the capacity of the guaranteeing entities. Nevertheless, the most likely scenario is coming into clearer focus.
Unfortunately, this scenario, or any other one that emerges, means recession in Europe, most likely severe recession. This has implications for markets worldwide, as Europe's economy matches or exceeds the size of the U.S., depending on which countries you include. Once again, the recession, coupled with the austerity measures, may change the political backdrop such that the populations of some of the peripheral countries may well want to exit the EMU.
While 2012 may bring calmer conditions, even if the most likely scenario is executed, the future of the euro and the EMU is still not assured. It rests on the effectiveness of the fiscal controls. If EMU members retain sovereignty over their fiscal policies, then there has to be some mechanism to expel fiscal offenders from the EMU in an orderly manner. Without this, we may well see a replay of this crisis within the decade. Let's hope there is enough political courage to include such measures.

Lenore Dunton, a senior who has lived in St. Albans for over 40 years, walked from her house to cast her ballot at nearby PS 36 last Thursday, only to see a sign stating that the polling site had been moved to PS 118 in Hollis, about a mile away.
"This is a bunch of crap," Dunton said. "Are they trying to prevent people from voting?" The longtime resident was so angered by the situation that she considered not voting at all.
Stacey Cibble of St. Albans pulled up in her car and almost immediately she too noticed the sign and was greatly annoyed. She said she had called 311 to confirm that PS 36 was her polling place, just five minutes before going to cast her ballot.
"They said based on my address, and they looked it up, they told me my polling site is supposed to be here," Cibble said. "Rather than argue with the woman — she was adamant that I'm supposed to come here — I decided to drive over here. And I'm here and there's no voting."
Despite her own inconvenience, Cibble said she was more worried about the seniors who live in the neighborhood and are unable to drive, and added that the last-minute notice of the polling site switch was very unfair.
"How are these elderly people supposed to get over to 118, and why weren't there any notices sent to the home addresses advising people?" Cibble asked.
Another woman who showed up at PS 36, and declined to give her name, said she wasn't going to bother going to PS 118 since the Board of Elections hadn't notified her that her polling place was moved.
Citizens in Southeast Queens were voting in either of two Democratic primaries for the state Legislature. One race was between state Sen. Shirley Huntley (D-Jamaica) and two challengers for her 10th Senatorial District seat, City Councilman James Sanders Jr. (D-Laurelton) and Gian Jones, a member of Community Board 14 in the Rockaways. The other was between 33rd District Assemblywoman Barbara Clark (D-Queens Village) and attorney Clyde Vanel. The winners were Sanders and Clark.
Over at PS 118, good Samaritan Carrie Roberson had loaded up her car with five seniors from her neighborhood to make sure they were able to vote. "We're all from St. Albans, and this area is Hollis, which is totally ridiculous, and these are seniors, and these are the ones they put out of the district," Roberson said.
Minnie Parker, who uses a cane, expressed similar sentiments, adding that it was difficult for her to climb the stairs at PS 118 — there were no stairs at the entrance to PS 36. "I'm very upset that they moved us, because I can't get around very good with my legs," Parker said.
Another school that's no longer a polling place — though voters got notices saying it was, and there was no sign redirecting them — is PS/IS 270 in Laurelton, located a block away from Sanders' office.
"I vote here. I came to vote today. There are no voting booths set up and no one said anything," said a woman who identified herself only as M. Washington. "I want to exercise my right to vote."
A security guard at the school said she had turned away at least 200 would-be voters that morning. Many then went across the street to Sanders' office looking for answers, but it was closed, with all the councilman's staff at his Rockaway location.
Sandra Halpert called the BOE only to be told there was no primary in her district. She said she then asked who had dropped out, thinking that she would be voting in the Sanders-Huntley-Jones race, but it turned out her area was moved into the district represented by state Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Jamaica).
Voters Stephanie St. Claire of Rosedale and Robert Knox of Laurelton were among those residents who had received BOE notices in the mail telling them to go to PS/IS 270, only to be turned away.
"It's disgraceful," said one angry woman, who identified herself only as Naomi.
Not all voters were confused and miffed, however.
"It was very easy; I'm a happy voter," said Dennis Maxfield of St. Albans, who cast his ballot at PS 118.
And a coordinator at Grace Lutheran School in Queens Village, said things had been going smoothly there.
One voter, Ena Scott, said she had no problems casting her ballot. "It was pretty simple," she said. "This has always been my place. It hasn't changed, so it was OK.
