PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- On Monday of last week (12/3), my husband was driving our 2007 Hyundai Entourage minivan to pick me up from work, after visiting a friend.
I received a telephone call from him that the car had stalled and was overheating. We immediately called AAA to tow the car to Pep Boys to run a diagnostic on the car to see if it was something simple. Pep Boys had indicated that the car had a "blown head gasket". The mechanic at Pep Boys said that we needed to have the car towed to the Hyundai dealership because it was a warranty issue that would be covered (the cost of this would be in the range of $3,700.00 and we have a 10 year - 100,0000 mile power train warranty to cover things like this).
After having the car towed to Pacifico Hyundai at 6715 Essington Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, on Monday, the service department did not take take our vehicle into the shop until Thursday (stating that appointments come first). After waiting another day, we were informed by the service manager - "Keith" (215) 492-1700, on Friday morning (12/7) that it was definitely a blown head gasket and would be covered under our warranty. Keith was ordering the parts needed and indicated that the car would be done by Monday or Tuesday (today) at the latest. During this time, we had requested that we be provided with a "loner" car, the courtesy of which was usually extended if it was a warranty issue and the car was required to be in the shop for a long period of time. Time and time again, we were told there was nothing available. On Sunday night (12/9) we had no choice but to rent a car because that we had appointments that we could not get to through public transportation. We rented the car on Sunday (12/9) and will be returning it tonight (12/11) - which we have paid for out of our own pocket. On Monday night (last night), my husband received a telephone call from the service manager and Hyundai stating that now the "engine block" is bad and they were not going to honor their warranty because that "we kept driving the car when it was overheating"!!!!
We have NEVER, EVER had any type of problem with this car, other than on 12/3 when the car stalled and overheated!!!! We never had any leaks, nor overheating, or ANYTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH THIS CAR!!! We never had any problems whatsoever with this car!! As soon as the car stalled THAT DAY (12/3) - when we had it towed - WAS OUR FIRST AND ONLY NOTICE THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG!!!!!! And now, we're told that it's not going to be covered because of something that went wrong on 12/3 THE VERY DAY WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP??? They keep telling us that "because we continued to drive it while it was overheating".... WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. NOTHING CAN BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!!!! This is just Hyundai's way of trying to get out of their warranty agreement!!!
We have had this car since 2007. We have been a one-owner family. We have taken care of this car like it was our baby. We brought it in for oil changes, etc. when required, did all the maintenance and upkeep that was required. And now we are told that this is not going to be covered because of something that is absolutely and unequivocally NOT our doing???? NO, this is absolutely unfair.
PO BOX 20850, CALIFORNIA -- The following letter which is self explanatory and explicit was sent to Hyundai on June 13th and received by them on June 15th. It was not even acknowledged. Apparently Hyundai is unconcerned about how their dealers treat their customers so long as they get their sales.
I recently sold the car I loved, my 2006 Hyundai Sonata Limited so I could buy the new 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited. I love my new Sonata as well, but my buying experience was a demeaning ordeal.
I purchased my new Hyundai from Flemington Hyundai (Hunterdon Auto Group). If this is the competency of the Dealers Hyundai employs, and you condone their interaction with your customers, it is unlikely that I would ever buy another of your products. I would advise anyone I relate my experience to, not to buy your products.
Following is the chronological description of my purchase:
After reading reviews, seeing the Sonata at two auto shows, visiting two local dealers and taking two test drives, I made a decision to purchase. At the beginning of the week of May 9th, I initiated a request for quotations via the AAA Auto Buying Program.
I received replies via email and telephone calls from 9 Hyundai Dealers, including Mark Vehling, Internet Sales Manager for Flemington Hyundai. He advised me that they had a Sonata Limited en route with the exterior and interior colors I wanted. My cost would be substantially less than any of the other 8 Dealers, ($2703 below invoice) and that was worth a trip 180 miles from my home in Maryland to Flemington New Jersey.
After a number of phone conversations and emails between Mark Vehling, and me, he combined into one email, a modified AAA quotation with the invoice price reflecting the additional factory installed accessories in the specific vehicle that was en route. He ensured me that there will be no additional charges. That my cost will be exactly as shown in his email, with the addition of their documentation fee ($229) also shown in the AAA quotation, and the Maryland State sales tax, title and registration fees. (A copy of the email is enclosed)
On Friday May 13th I authorized a $500 deposit on a credit card for the specific vehicle that was identified by VIN # in the email. I stated that I would be in New Jersey on Monday May 16th for a graduation and I could pick up the car then. Mark Vehling stated the car will arrive between May 23rd and May 31st.
On the evening of Monday May 16th, after returning from New Jersey I received a phone call from Danny Addonizio, identifying himself as Salesmen and Closer, and advising me that my car was in and asking me when I was going to pick it up. When I asked why he was suddenly in the picture, I had already had a deal via email with Mark Vehling. He advised me that delivery was turned over to him to expedite and explain the operation of the car to me, etc.
I asked Danny to email or fax a bill to me with the specific VIN. #, equipped as shown in our prior emails, and to include my sales tax, title fees and his documentation fee. I told him I will bring a certified check for the full amount when I pick up the car. Danny said he will call me back the next morning.
Danny never called me back. I called the cell phone number he gave me twice, and no one answered. I called the Dealer's number and reached Danny. He said he didn't call back because he did not know what the sales tax was in Maryland. I told him it was 6% and asked for a bill. He again pressed me to come and pickup the car but said he would call back with my specific cost.
Again Danny did not call back so I called Mark Vehling my original contact. He told me there must be something wrong with my phone. He was next to Danny when he called me twice and left messages for me. Mark Vehling then pressed me to come and pick up my car. I again asked for a bill with my total cost so I could bring a certified check for the full amount. Mark again pressed me to come and pick up the car. He said I did not need a certified check, that a personal check was acceptable. He said I did not need a bill or invoice as I had his email with my cost. He again assured me my cost is as agreed upon in his email.
That was their preliminary tactics. I should have quit at this point.
That evening, after making arrangements for my son to pick me up at the Cape May Ferry and drive me to Flemington NJ, I informed Mark Vehling that I would pick up the car the morning of Friday, May 20th.
We arrived at Flemington Hyundai shortly before 11 AM. I met Danny Addonizio and he asked if I would like to drive the car. I didn't think that was necessary. I just looked it over to be sure it was not damaged and that it had the accessories we agreed upon. Danny then asked me to sit at his desk and he gave me the window sticker with the MSRP and he gave me an additional sheet with a list of additional options. He told me that they already installed wheel locks with an additional cost to me of $69. I told him I did not want them and to take them off. He excused himself and came back in about 15 minutes and said he would throw in the wheel locks free of charge.
Then he left. He literally ignored us for almost 2 hours. He returned briefly twice. Once to tell us the business office was busy with another customer while it was perfectly clear that no one was in the business office. The second time he told us their computer was down. Obviously they were stalling, trying to get my son to leave for work and not interfere with their con game. They were also pressing me for time, trying to wear me down as it was very stormy outside and they knew I had to drive home to Maryland.
Eventually we were invited into the business office. Danny stated that my son should not be there since he was not the buyer. I of cause would not abide by that. I was presented with a bill of sale for my signature. It did not include my $500 deposit or my $500 loyalty incentive. That was corrected after I pointed that out.
The bill of sale also had two additional preprinted, items both marked optional. "Appearance Package" for $200 and "Environmental Protection Package" for $395. I was told they put this on all cars and I would have to pay for it. I argued that it is an option I did not select and it was not on the confirmed agreement I had with Mark Vehling. After arguing for some time my son asked if we could speak to someone of higher authority. The Sales Manager then joined us in the business office. After a long discussion rehashing everything and getting nowhere, I again stated that I requested a bill of sale, with all charges prior to coming to Flemington. I wanted to bring a certified check. The Sales Manager excused himself for a few minutes and when he returned he said he confirmed what I said was true, that I had requested a bill of sale and was refused. In view of that, I can have the car for the agreed upon price in our emails. (Enclosed is the final bill of sale with the aforementioned items crossed out and my deposit and loyalty incentive added).
So ultimately I did purchase my car at the agreed upon price. But what should have been a cordial 30 minute business transaction turned out to be more than 3 hours of hell with a group of Professional Con Men.
It is a shame that Hyundai has worked so hard to develop a good reputation and a fine product, and that you can readily lose all of that with unprincipled, devious Dealers like this. Do you really want these unscrupulous people representing Hyundai?
Upon your receipt, I will wait for 10 business days before I forward my complaint to organizations and associations concerned with consumer protection, especially exploitation of senior citizens like myself.
Sincerely yours,
I am writing after more than two weeks of unpleasant encounters with one of your Hyundai service dealerships. I purchased a new Hyundai in 2003. I have a 17 year old son and was considering giving him this car and purchasing a new Hyundai for my use, however, after this experience I have second thoughts. It is extremely unfortunate and should be of great concern to your corporation that this dealership represents the service Hyundai advertises and promises. I trust someone of authority in your corporation will assist me in the repair of my vehicle.
I have a 2003 Hyundai Elantra GT purchased new in February 2003 .
In March 2005 my car overheated and stalled as I pulled into the Hyundai service facility in Mt. Kisco. I was told I needed a "head gasket". I found this unusual being the car was only 2 years old. My car was under the 10yr/100000mi warranty and was repaired.
On Thursday June 1, 2006 my car overheated and stalled. Unfortunately I was not near the Hyundai service facility but had the car towed there that night.
The next morning (Friday June 2nd) I called and was told by the service manager that because there were scheduled cars to be worked on, mine may not be seen until Monday June 5th. I rented a car on Sat. June 3rd because the Mt. Kisco service facility does not have "loaners".
On Monday June 5th I called the facility on three occasions and was told the car still had not been looked at.
On Tuesday June 6th I called the facility and was told by the service manager "Your head gasket is blown" I asked what happens next and stated that the car was still under warranty, he replied "We did that job in 2005", "I haven't seen this car in a year", I haven't seen the car since then", "Bring me your maintenance receipts and the district manager will decide if we can fix the car" "I need receipts from April 2005 through May 2006".
I was surprised and concerned with the request. It was then I decided to make your consumer affairs department aware of the situation. My file number is 990691. I was made to feel that somehow I had done something to cause this and because of the service manager statement "I haven't seen this car for a year". I made it known that it was not mandatory to have my car serviced at his facility. At this time I became concerned an extremely disappointed in the way I was being treated as a Hyundai consumer.
I gathered my receipts and on Thursday June 8th delivered them to Mr. Dthe service manager personally. I was told that the district manager "Greg" was not going to be in until Monday June 12th. I now have to rent a car for another week. I've had the rental car for one week while my car has not been touched and is sitting in the Hyundai service facility.
Monday June 12th, I waited until 12:30pm before calling consumer affairs. After explaining my situation, Nanette called the facility. Nanette explained that she had spoken with the service manager, that the district manager was on site and that I would get a call in a few hours. By 4:55PM I had not received a call and called the service manager who told me he was doing "one more test on the thermostat" and if I did not hear from him by the end of the day (it is now 5PM) that I would hear from him before 9AM the next morning (Tuesday June 13th). I again called the consumer affairs dept. and spoke with Kathy who told me to wait until the next morning and if I didn't get a call to call consumer affairs yet again.
I am exhausted, furious and frustrated. I am still renting a car (my second week!!!) and still do not have an answer as to if my car will be repaired under my warranty which it should.
Addendum: On Tuesday June13th I hadn't received a call by 9AM and asked Kathy at Cosumer Affairs to contact the service facility. By that afternoon I received a call from Joe DiPrima and was to my thermostat was factory and my car will be fixed under warranty. GREAT!!!! I thanked everyone and began planning the return of my rented vehicle and preparing notices to all that I had written.
On Thursday June 15th I called Hyundai and asked for an approximate date of completion because I had to return my rented vehicle.. I was told by Anthony that I should need my rental for an entire week, which I understood as my car should be ready by mid-week (June 21 or 22), again GREAT!!
Friday June 16th - 3:45PM I received a call from Anthony stating -my car "WILL NOT BE REPAIRED AS STATED ON JUNE 13TH - THE DRM (?) HAD DECIDED FROM WHAT HE OBSERVED, MY CAR WAS DRIVEN WHILE OVERHEATING" I was told that my radiator had melted (?) which was a "SIGN" that I was driving while the car was overheating. THAT WAS THE FINAL WORD - THERE WAS NOTHING ANYONE COULD DO - MY CAR WAS NOT BEING REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY.
Hysterical and frantic, I called Consumer Affairs who called the service facility. Consumer affairs was unable to help me other than document a complaint in my file. NOW WHAT??? I asked!!! Is there anyone I could discuss this with - the answer was NO - the DRM- was the last word.
I cannot comprehend that in a corporation - " Hyundai" there is no one in position above the District Regional Manager to take problems to.
I am now in a position where I am responsible for what I feel is a faulty job done on my car in 2005. I feel I am being held responsible for a "melted radiator"- I would have had to drive MILES with the car billowing smoke in order to MELT A RADIATOR!!!! - As I've stated to the Hyuandai repair facility and consumer affairs - I saw smoke, pulled over and stopped the car. They were no warning light or bell on the dash, the car was smoking, I looked at the gauge and it was on "H".
Hyundai prides itself in service, quality and consumer relations - with this experience I must disagree. AND AGAIN I REQUEST THAT SOMEONE OF AUTHORITY PLEASE GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS DISASTER AND CONTACT ME. SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE DRM - Whom I was led to believe is the last word in the Hyundai Corporation.
CHARLESTON AREA, SOUTH CAROLINA -- My mom purchased a Hyundai Sonata in May of 2003. She absolutely LOVED that car. the problems began the Wednesday before Thanksgiving of 2005. She heard a noise, and brought it into the dealership as the car was under warranty. Low and behold, the technician could not hear the noise, convinced her that she needed a radiator flush to the tone of $100+. Less than 2 weeks later, she is back at the dealership because the noise has not gone away but gotten worse. This time, when she pulls in the driveway everyone can hear it. This time they tell her the idle pulley needs to be replaced but of course, they do not have the part. They order it, on Dec 7 which is a Wednesday the car is back at the dealership for the part to be put in. On Dec 10, the car is back at the dealership again, because the noise that was there from before Thanksgiving is still there. On December 17th, the car goes back in for yet another new part, this time the water pump, which they noticed needed to be replaced when they did the idle pulley but did nor said anything.
Still had the noise through the rest of December. On December 21 drop car off again, they have it from 8:30 am to 4:30 call to pick up the car because it is all fixed. Yeah RIGHT!Less than an hour later the noise is back and we call the service department who said "We are not going to replace your engine." Never mind the fact that no one asked for the engine to be replaced! Car back at the dealership in January because the check engine light comes on, but still have the original noise. Call dealership to say car is coming in due to the check engine light, and are told, by the service department manager mind you. I have a life outside of Hyundai and things to do when I leave here, so if you are here before I leave great if not you'll have to come back another day. Once we get there, since we have called Hyundai USA and miracle of miracles, the service dept manager has decided to stay to. They even give her a rental car. SO, after she leaves service she decides she wants to speak to the General Manager. While she is speaking with the General Manager, guess who shows up with tons of attitude, you guessed it, the Service Manager, and interrupts whenever she or I try to speak. Well they keep the car for a few days, and ta da, the noise is still there when the car is returned. By know several calls have been made to HyundaiUSA customer service about the situation, and they decide to bring in a District person, well about time right. Well, the District person sees the car on Jan 27 and is the actual first person with Hyundai to actually hear a noise. They keep the car again for a few days, giving a rental car. When the car is returned, still have the noise! The car goes in a couple more times, and get the "Gee, don't know what to tell you." ON February 14, the check engine light comes on again, which is the second time in as many weeks, and yet another trip to the dealership. On February 19 the check engine light comes on again!
This time, my mom decides we should not bring the car to Victory Hyundai on Savannah Highway in Charleston, SC since they seem not to know what they are doing. We take the car into Altman Hyundai in North Charleston, which is quite a drive from where we live. Go in at 10 AM out by 1:30 with the check engine has gone away and have scheduled appointment for 2/21 for them to finish up with the mystery noise. My mom shows up at Altman for the 9:30 appointment, and at 10:15 she is told, oops, we forgot to mention we needed to order the part, guess you don't need the appointment after all today. So, she leaves to run a couple of errands, and well gee she is no further down the road than 10 minutes, and well, the check engine light has come on again. For those keep tract that is 4 times in less than 1 month. When she brings the car back, the sales manager is nowhere to be found. Typical right? When he finally does appear 2.5 hours later, he is the one who is pissed because a meeting he was in was interrupted. No one seems to know what the problem is nor can they fix it. I know that we have called Hyundai USA at least a dozen times, with complaints trying to get something jump started, and we are treated like the bad guys with the dealership.
If you want a great car, you will probably love the Sonota; however, the problem that you will find is in the ability of the service department to actually fix the vehicle when the time comes. There recurring solution is to sell my mom a new car even though she is upside down in her payments. Buyer definitely BEWARE! Customer service all around stinks. No one wants to take responsibility to fix the problem nor do they want to give the information of a supervisory person so you can follow the chain of their command!
BOWIE, MARYLAND -- My 2007 Tiburon is still under warranty. The Air Conditioning stopped working completely. I took it in for warranty repair and the OURISMAN BOWIE MD Hyundai dealer refused to fix the AC, saying instead that I had to pay over $200 just for them to determine what was wrong with it. They also accidentally admitted that many Hyundai ACs malfunction because the condenser is situated in a bad spot. Poor design. The fragile and vulnerable condenser unit is placed too close to the front and too close to the road that the tiniest pebble can make a hole in it. This design flaw is peculiar to Hyundai cars and they know about it but refuse to accept responsibility. To make matters worse, they still charge you over $200 just to check it out, knowing full well that they intend to tell you that the warranty does not cover it. So you are out the $200 for their so-called inspection, plus your AC still doesn't work, plus it will cost you over $1100 to fix a tiny hole caused by poor design. So, warning: don't buy a Hyundai: they don't honor their warranty plus their cars seem to have peculiar design flaws and their dealerships seem to employ low quality deceitful people.
CANADA, MISSOURI -- My wife has a 2010 Santa Fe Limited & I have a 2010 Mercedes E-Class.
Obviously I paid lots more for my car but when I sell it down the road I will also get a lot more.
Hyundai gets some good reviews from media when they do their test drives with new vehicles, but what they are not looking at is that same vehicle after 50,000KM. Our Santa Fe seems loose and cheap with things breaking and falling apart.
They have been fairly minor, but always something, while my Merc has had zero issues and still looks and drive as good as when I bought it.
I am not sure why people even complain about Hyundai, knowing they are much cheaper than a comparable manufacturer.
The best analogy I use when describing our SUV is it a disposable lighter, it works OK at the beginning and after a while you throw it in the garbage and buy a new one because the re-sale value is also useless.
I suggest you buy Japanese, or even some very good product coming out of N. America, but the Koreans still have a long way to go, to get their vehicles long term quality to every other manufacturers stands.
LANCASTER, OHIO -- I was current on payments, lost my job, hit a raccoon that did $3500 damage,
had car repaired 4 hours after I picked up car, I hit another Raccoon approx a mile from where I hit the previous one, on US Route 33 south of Logan, Ohio, because of the 2 claims my insurance co cancelled me, and they American Family Insurance, reported this to some insurance bureau and no other company would give me insurance, In Ohio you must have insurance on a car to drive it legally, so I called Hyundai and turned in the car on the Hyundai Assurance and they refused to pay the finance co, finance co told me that I bought the car outright and did not lease it, they said only applied to lease vehicles, they told me to read the contract, I called Citizens Automobile Insurance Co. back and gave them my Certificate # and read thank you for your purchase or lease and here is your Assurance policy, that was at the top paragraph of the Assurance contract, now over 2 years later I hear from the bank they want $5,000, I said to collect it from Hyundai. Car purchased from Ricart Automotive. The Tiburon does not have enough front end protection, such a small animal to do so much damage.

8/29-Called Hyundai customer service and talked to Steve 800-633-5151 x 45034 and l/m to call me back.
Steve called back and explained that my message yesterday got cut off and I explained that the only thing that Ken Garff did was flush my coolant and didnt repair the squeak. He wanted to check it out and said hed call me back.
9/5-Called Steve to find out what was going on. L/m. Steve called back and said hed left multiple messages for Mike and hadnt heard from him. He said hed leave one more message before trying to contact someone else.
9/12-Called Steve. He said that Mike said that I could bring it back in but wouldnt give me a rental. Then he said he had done all he could and that to talk to Mikes boss, Id have to call the dealership and get that information.
Called Ken Garff and was told I would need to speak w/ Denise Becker to get Mikes boss name and number but she doesnt get in until 9am. C/b, not in. C/b and spoke w/ Denise Becker 257-3330 and asked for Mikes superiors name and number. She said she didnt have it but would get it and call me back.
Mike called. Said he wouldnt give me his boss name or number. He said he would not authorize any more repairs seeing how it was out of warranty. I told him my problem was not resolved and I wanted to talk to his boss. He also informed me that no flushing of the engine was done and ABSOLUTELY NO REPAIR ATTEMPT WAS MADE! After several requests, he reluctantly gave me his supposed boss name, Eric Bondus, but refused to give me his number but gave me an address of 10550 Talbert Ave, Fountain Valley, Ca 92728.
Wrote Eric a brief note and attatched this also.
That should say something that they would not even answer BBB mail....
took out a loan with HMFC through my local Hyandai in Anaheim. They wouldn't give the loan without "gap" coverage which I agreed to. Unfortunately, this is something that is having to be useful at this stage as I got into a bad accident which was surprisingly a total loss (cheap little car with the good gas/up to 40 mpg, but it folded like a cheap suit). My insurance has agreed to pay a certain amount and that's where the gap coverage comes into play as their insurance I was paying into would cover the rest. The calls for continued payments have not ceased, my State Farm Insurance agent even told me to give them his number to talk to, which they were not interested in. They call around 8-10 times per day M-F and they also call weekends. So, I studied up on Fair Debt practices and the next call I got I informed the collector about inconvenient call times to get the calls limited to weekdays only, then I asked for an address I can give written notification in order to cease the calls, the lady started repeating the payment amounts and she finally yelled she also knows their rights and she would give me the address, however she needed to get her supervisor. I finally ceased getting nowhere with the lady, I should have taken the Fair Debt practice more seriously when they said to record all calls, now I have recorder ready. I had already had the conversation with a couple other collectors about the insurance payments and all that, one asked for some information, the Insurance Co's payment amount and then the GAP coverage amount, so I had been trying to work on that and my feeling is after reading the other reviews here is this is just another 'thug' company with unethical practices. If it were a good company to do business with I wouldn't be looking up Fair Debt Practices online.
I could not believe the other stuff that people have gone through here on their reviews, it is so sad there are so many unethical companies like this. Because ATTITUDE REFLECTS LEADERSHIP! Its better to read up on companies first before doing business with them especially when they have your bank info!!! And there are good companies to do business with, Hyandai Motor Finance is just not one of them.
I purchased a new 2009 Hyundai Genesis and with less than 6,000 miles the a/c condenser failed.
I was told by one service manager that my warranty would cover this. The next day another service manager called me up and said that the a/c condenser was damage and Hyundai would not cover it.
I feel that Hyundai should have cover the a/c condenser I had the car for less than a year and I only had 6,000 miles on the car. Hyundai claims to have America's best warranty back by Hyundai Assurance. The only thing Hyundai assured me was a bill for $579.21.

Walmart confirmed that Chief Administrative Officer Tom Mars is stepping down in March after more than a decade with the company.
The world's largest retailer would not given a reason for his departure, saying they do not comment on personnel matters.
Mars, who served as the retailer's general counsel from 2002 to 2009, was involved with a bribery investigation, which may have led to his resignation.
According to company, emails released by members of Congress in January, Mars wrote an email to WalMart CEO Michael Duke about the bribery allegations regarding a Walmart built near the Mexican pyramids.
The construction project in Mexico was a direct violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, but Wal-Mart said it's cooperating with investigators.
40/29 News reached out to Wal-Mart for a statement, but our calls were not returned.

A themeforest page for a Paradise Proffesional xHTML Template. Themeforest is a good looking site and this particular entry effectively uses a single image to get across the vital stats of their template. I like the custom design of the RSS, Twitter, and Facebook links.
Posted in Web Design → DesignA very simple but easily recognisable logo for any freelancer. The basic two colour approach combined with a readable typeface works well. The little details make this design, such as the design of the \'Y\' and the implication that it\'s a word that\'s being said aloud.
Posted in Branding → LogoA simple but effective site for a digital marketing agency. I like the uncomplicated layout and huge slideshow of design work! Uncluttered and bold this site immediately gets you on its side!
Posted in Web Design → DesignA sleek and beautifully designed App for reading the English Standard Version of the bible. The use of a transparent overlay looks great! I particularly like the intuitive functionality and effortlessly readable typefaces used.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppThe personal portfolio of James O\'Connell features a screen-wide slideshow that makes a great impact. As a designer it\'s vital to showcase your work and design philosophy to any prospective clients and this is achieved here using a gallery of James\' recent work. I like the subtlety of the dark grey text on the light grey background. It\'s not something that immediately makes sense, but that works perfectly to allow the colourful designs to grab your attention.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA stunning iPad App that allows you to unleash your creativity! Its interface gives your imagination space to shine while remaining stylish and sleek. I love the details and great icon design!
Posted in Interface → iPad AppA good and intriguing site for a web design agency. I particularly like the colourful doodles and friendly typeface! The spacing of everything does bother me slightly but it\\\'s made up for by the textured background and strokes of colour.
Posted in →A beautifully engaging business card design and logo! The fascinating typeface grabs you immediately while the appealing artistic streak makes a great statement. I particularly like the subtle background detail on the business card and the colourful streamers!
Posted in Branding → Business CardsInteresting logo that effectively uses colour on a black background. It would be slightly more powerful if it were more central and focussed but the vibrancy certainly makes an impact. I like the fascinating design detail of the exploding design.
Posted in Branding → LogoA straightforward but classy design for a business card. I like the clear typeface and recognisable setting of the letter S. Having the key details on both the back and front helps to make the card instantly useable.
Posted in Branding → Business CardsA brilliant logo for a drinks company! The blue and white colour palette works really well and I love the ice dropping into a drink design on the back! The attention to detail is good. Nice touches, such as bubbles in the water and variation on a single logo, all help to make a business card look professional.
Posted in Branding → Business CardsAlthough only really a section of a blog this is a site that has to be seen to be understood. It\'s just an awesome example of brilliant web design that captures your imagination! I love how with every inch it draws you in and demands that you delve further!
Posted in Web Design → BlogA fascinating business card design for a graphic designer and animator. The artwork certainly makes an impact! I find the text a little awkward to read but like the use of just a number on the back, it\'s a novel approach!
Posted in Branding → Business CardsA great App for finding places of interest based on your location. Where To? is made by its excellent interface and wonderfully designed custom icons. I particularly like how intuitive and enjoyable the interface is to use!
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppAn excellent site for a web design company that adequately showcases its ability to create beautiful graphics and websites. The use of a portfolio slideshow is a common but effective tool for holding the visitors attention! I love the portrayal of the simple company logo on a scrap of notepaper!
Posted in Web Design → DesignA beautiful site that collects together free and premium photoshop brushes. The background is subtle yet gorgeous, while the use of a gallery is excellent and really grabs your attention! I absolutely love the care that has gone into the logo design!
Posted in Web Design → DesignAnother beautifully designed App from Sophia Teutschler! Groceries has a simple pinboard and note paper aesthetic which is very enjoyable to use. Overall the interface is intuitive and features excellent typefaces and icon design.

More About This Wine
About Chateau de la Maltroye
Old-timers in Chassagne remember times when the wines and vineyards here weren't nearly so coveted. When the Cournut family purchased the estate in 1940, the 6.5 acre plot behind the house was a vegetable garden. Today, the beautiful vines that run 200 meters down the hill behind the Chateau make up the priceless Maltroye 1er Cru holding, offering wines that sell for $70-$100/bottle.

DDR Corp., Blackstone Group form dynamic deal duo
Blog Entry:
April 11, 2013 12:25 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
A quick-hit edition:
Beachwood-based shopping center owner
DDR Corp.
and private equity investor
Blackstone Group LP
are becoming something of a dynamic deal duo.
The Wall Street Journal
that the two "are buying seven shopping centers from
Regency Centers Inc.
for more than $300 million," according to people familiar with the talks.
The newspaper says it couldn't be determined which centers Blackstone and DDR are buying from Jacksonville-based Regency, which holds stakes in 348 centers. The deal, valued at $300 million to $400 million, is expected to close by the end of April, according to
The Journal
It is unknown what percentages Blackstone and DDR each will take in the seven-center portfolio they are buying, "though the EPN deal indicates that DDR tends to take a minority stake and manage the purchased properties," the newspaper reports.
DDR has worked with Blackstone previously, the story notes. Last December, DDR bought the Carolina Pavilion shopping center in Charlotte, N.C., from Blackstone for $106 million. Earlier in 2012, Blackstone bought a 95% stake in 46 big-box centers from EPN Group in a deal valued at $1.4 billion. DDR, which managed the properties before and after the deal, bought the other 5% stake.
Sherrod Brown
, D-Avon, and
David Vitter
, R-Louisiana, are pushing a new bill that would make banks keep much higher levels of capital, but as
New York Times
blog post
points out, "representatives for the financial industry are already claiming that such a requirement would ruin the economy."
A draft of the Brown-Vitter bill "offers a simple and elegant solution to the 'too big to fail' problem by requiring all banks to have capital equal to 10 percent of their assets," the
blog post notes. "The measure would also force regulators to impose additional capital requirements on banks with assets of more than $400 billion; that additional capital would increase with the size of the bank, but the total would always be less than 15 percent."
Banks, though, "hate the idea of higher ratios because it reduces how much money they make on each dollar of capital," according to the post.
"Think of capital as the money you put down to buy a house,"
The Times
says. "If you buy a house for $100,000 and only put down $5,000, when you later sell that house for, say, $120,000 you will have made a profit of $20,000, or four times your initial investment. But if we take the same example and require you to put 20 percent down, or $20,000, your profit would amount to only 100 percent of your starting capital."
On Wednesday, a group that represents banks,
The Clearing House Association
, "put out a
that argues that a 3 percent increase in the capital ratio would lead to a decline in the gross domestic product of more than 2 percent," the newspaper reports.
Numerous economists, though, "have soundly refuted such industry-sponsored studies," according to
The Times
Youngstown-area resident Kathy Miller is in the driver's seat when it comes to celebrating the 50th anniversary of the original Ford Mustang.
USA Today
calls attention
to the efforts of Ms. Miller, of Boardman, who is "on a mission to track down as many original owners of 1964 Mustangs as she can or their descendants."
So far, she has found 24. (

Cleveland Indians
fans aren't supposed to like anything about the
New York Yankees
, but it's impossible not to be charmed by Yankees closer Mariano Rivera after reading
this story
Mr. Rivera is retiring after this season, and he's making a point of meeting with employees and others at each stadium he visits this year, including
Progressive Field
For instance, he talked this week with John Adams, the Indians' famous fan/drummer. Here's the exchange, via
The Wall Street Journal
"When the Indians are supposed to score, and they don't score, how do you hit it?" Rivera asks.
It isn't quite like that, explained Adams, who has been beating the drum at Indians games since 1973.
"When there are people who you'd really like to hit, but you can't, you imagine their faces are on there, and you hit it…It's a stress reliever for me. And you've given me a lot of stress!" Adams says, prompting a laugh from the 43-year-old Yankee closer.
Rivera ate it up, laughing along with the famous drummer. But he also turned serious, telling Adams how much he respected his longevity and the contributions he has made to baseball in Cleveland.
"Hey, man, I love you for a long time," Rivera said. "You're loyal. You've been here a long time. I really respect that. You've been here what, 40 years? I've been here for 19 of those."
Mr. Rivera later "moved through a crowd of Indians employees, one by one, hearing stories from people who had worked on the grounds crew, or in the offices, or in ticketing," the story notes.

by Buck Pomerantz Exceptional performance, even at high volume Like it loud? Alpine designed their Type-R speakers for people who like to turn it up. They'll deliver big, dynamic sound with plenty of bass, and they'll handle lots of volume. They'll work great with your car stereo, but they really come into their own when you power them with an outboard amp. Fine-tuned for clarity and balance The SPR-69 6"x9" speakers feature multi-layer hybrid fiber woofers that deliver really strong bass response. Alpine's adapted the specially ridged surround, originally developed for their subs, to these speakers, so you get consistent, extended cone movement that pushes a lot of air. The silk tweeters use a superior ring-dome design to produce smooth highs that bring out your music's detail and depth with no shrillness, plus they swivel to focus the sound better for your seating position. Smaller, stronger neodymium magnets Alpine uses powerful neodymium magnets which are much smaller than traditional magnets, so the SPR-69's high-density polymer frames will fit into more places than most 6"x9" speakers. Type-R speakers have earned their reputation in the past as the masters of "crank it to the max," but Alpine has really kicked the performance factor of the latest models up a notch or two. Priced per pair Note: Sorry, Crutchfield cannot ship Alpine products to Guam or Puerto Rico. Product Highlights:6"x9" 2-way car speakers (pair)multi-layer hybrid fiber woofer with Santoprene® rubber surround1" swiveling silk dome tweeterpower range: 2-100 watts RMS (300 watts peak power)frequency response: 60-29,000 Hzsensitivity: 90 dBtop-mount depth: 2-13/16"warranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.
These speakers are sick! Written By Mark H, Indiana on Thursday, April 23, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed four of these 100W rms 6X9s in my 2001 Cadillac Seville STS. The car originally came with the Bose surround system featuring seven speakers and a factory sub. I disconnected all of the speakers (including the sub) and replaced each of the four door speakers with an Alpine 6X9. So now I have four of these Alpines, one in each door, powered by a 100W rms X 4 channel Rockford Fosgate Prime amp. All I can say is unbelievable! Super clear, man these speakers sing! completely blew away the factory Bose system. Run 100W rms through these speakers and they hit hard! The base is unbelievable. If you want to add a sub, you better get a good one with a seperate high power amp or you wont be able to hear it over these 6X9s. Pros: Heavy duty power handling capability. Tight hard hitting base when hooked up through a 100W rms amplifier. Super clear awesome sound quality. Brings your music to life, on a whole new level. Cons: None I can think of.

Well spoken Written By Miguel Anaya, Anchorage, AK on Monday, February 23, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome sounding speakers in pairing with a Kenwood Amp, and JL Audio sub! Pros: Great sound! Easy to install. Cons: The rear tweeters were so much more pronounced with the passenger seat removed. Just had to adjust levels with the seat back in.

very good Written By Anonymous, cedar rapids Iowa on Friday, November 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Changed some old Bostons out with these and the improvement was amazing. For smaller depth speakers these blew the old Boston's out of the water. Pros: Easy installation

Clean, unobtrusive sound for rear fill, great frequency range. Written By NorCalBryan, Lakeport Ca on Monday, August 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these for my rear deck in a 99 honda civic. The vehicle fit guide was right on, great fit, no modifications, only slightly heavier than my old factory cones. No I am truly immersed in amazing surround sound paired with the spr-60c set up front. These speakers are clean, clear, and beautiful! Pros: Directional tweeter, factory like fit, great SQ! Cons: They aren't made by JL Audio?!?!

Alpine SPR-69 Written By Anonymous, drexel hill, pa on Friday, March 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Speakers blow you away
Excellent speakers Written By Anonymous, Atlanta, GA on Thursday, March 20, 2014 I got these speakers for my 2009 Dodge ram as an upgrade from my stock 6x9's. i was looking for something that i could put an amp too eventually. i was looking around and i decided on the Rockford Fosgate punch 6x9. i went in to my favorite dealer and heard them, they sounded pretty good. then the recommended these Alpine type R. he compared them and wow there was a difference with and without the amp. i installed these in only my front door so far and already my little pioneer HU is making them sing. if you listen to the stocks in the back compared to the front it is amazing what a good pair of speakers can do. i plan to do my backs this weekend. i would recommend these to anyone. Pros: all parts came with it, easy to install, Sound Amazing!! Cons: non at all
Nice speakers Written By SteveB, Fitchburg, MA on Friday, February 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent speakers that I'd have done well to install in my doors as well as the rear. The 5" component ones I put in the front just aren't a match for these. Pros: Does pretty much everything I was looking for out of them. Cons: none
Don't Be Fooled by the Little Magnets Written By EEWdad, Snohomish, WA on Saturday, December 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I grew up in the 70's and 80's building car stereos - where bigger magnets meant more powerful speaker motors and better sound. Okay, so I'm probably older than most of you; however, I still like good sound. My daily driver, a mid 90's Pontiac, was in need of a new head unit and so I opted to replace the factory 6x9's (paper construction, cloth surrounds and whizzer cones) in the back at the same time. These Alpine speakers are a huge improvement over the factory speakers -- nice base, much improved high end and very musical. They are a great match for the 18w/channel CDE-149BT. I agree with all of the others who gave these speakers a five star rating. Pros: Lightweight, easy to install (especially with the connectors provided by Crutchfield); great sound; moveable tweeters; reasonably priced. Cons: Pretty limited tweeter movement -
Good speakers Written By Carmelo R, Bronx, N.Y. on Wednesday, October 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Alpine is a great speaker line the clarity and the manufacturing is great. I would suggest them to anybody looking for durable quality speakers. Pros: These speakers seem strong and durable and carefully manufactured. Cons: They don't put out a quality bass on their own the highs are nice though.
Awesome Written By email@example.com, Ashburn, Va on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome speakers. You will not be disappointed!!! Pros: Awesome sound. Need power though! Cons: nothing
Great Speakers Written By rsd, Crestview, FL on Thursday, May 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great all around speaker for loud volume, good bass and still suprisingly decent clarity Pros: Great Speaker, Great performance Cons: None
Full range Written By SimonS, Sacramento, CA on Thursday, April 18, 2013 On my Honda Accord I had the SPR-69 on the rear deck and the SPR-60 on the frontdoors. I have a Pioneer FH-700BT head unit with the MRX-F65 (650 watt) 4-channel amp. Each channel delivering 110 watt RMS. I thought they sounded great w/o an AMP on my Pioneer head unit. I then added the MRP-F300 (300 watt) amp just to see the range of the speakers. I realized that was not enough power since at high volumes I could hear slight clipping on the speakers. I upgraded my amp to the Alpine MRX-F65 and whoa nelly! These little 6x9 speakers sound fuller and the bass is rich. I can't go beyond 20 out of 50 on my dial without the trunk rattling. The doors rattle, rearview mirror shakes, trunk-lid womping at 30! No distortion, no clipping. Just keep in mind that the Type-R speakers are power hungry so if you plan to go big with these speakers get an adequate AMP. 100RMS with 300watt peak. Pros: very full range, rich midbass Cons: power hungry
SPR-69 Written By Robert, Berkeley Spgs, WV on Friday, April 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these in order to replace my rear JBL's In a 2001 Solara. They are worth the price. The bass produced be these speakers sound like I have a sub woofer. They are clear and loud. I just recently purchased an alpine KTP-445U amp to power these. I'm installing it today so I'm sure they'll sounds twice as good as they do now. Pros: Great sound! Great Bass! Cons: None
Alpine SPR69 Written By ChrisO, Orlando, FL on Saturday, April 06, 2013 I recently installed these babies in my accord and let me say they are amazing. They are crisp, but deliver tons of bass. I am using a pioneer 600wattrms 4 channel amp and maybe pushing ~50 watts rms to each speaker. These 6x9's are well worth the money! Using these along with the SPR50c Pros: Crisp clear sound, loud bass. Cons: Had to adjust and keep the rms low as it rattles a piece in my trunk, dynamat is a possible solution.
Alpine SPR-69 Review Written By Georgia Rocker, Atlanta, GA on Sunday, March 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently replaced the factory speakers in my Honda Accord with these Alpine's, and have nothing but good things to say about them. The bass is tight, the highs are clear and the overall punch of these rear speakers is amazing to my ears. I am completely satisfied with their performance. Pros: Tight bass, clear highs, and impressive punch. Cons: Considering that I don't have an amplifier, or listen to my music at insane volume levels, I don't have any cons to speak of.
Awesome Written By Sethac, Georgia on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) They work very well. Handle a wide range of sound with ease.
awesome sound Written By lunchbox, tulsa, ok on Wednesday, October 17, 2012 These speakers sound awesome, almost makes me regret getting jl audio for the front. The higbs are good, but the mid and bass levels are even better. Pros: Nice punch bass with no distortion. Cons: The sound overpowers all of my other speakers....putting my fader to use for the first time.
great sound Written By MarioT, north attleboro MA on Monday, October 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) these speakers can produce some good bass!!! really clear too. They replaced a pair of HERTZ 6X9 speakers which reallly I had strong doubts, they would beat or match - but they did!!!! great speaker for the money. The fact that they are not as heavy as the Hertz are a real plus since I have them installed on the lids of my Harley and weight is an issue. Pros: Light in weight, great price for a speaker that can play at the level of a $400 speaker Cons: didnt really find one
Alpine SPR-69 Written By Anonymous, San Jose, CA on Monday, July 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Maybe the stock speakers were just that poor and you get used to that. These sound light years better.
Great speakers for the price Written By Devin, Kenosha WI on Sunday, April 01, 2012 These speakers are great. I love them. I have them paired with a rockford fosgate amp that pushes 88 watts rms. WOW im so glad i invested in these speakers. They were good when i had them hooked up to my stock head unit but they really came alive. They scream. Im thinking i push 100 SPL with these. But i dont know for sure because i dont own a sound meter. Pros: Sound great., easy to install and for the price they sound great!!!! (They sound good when powered by a head unit but come alive when powered by an amp) Cons: I had a model year previous to these ones. Blew the tweeter in one somehow but crutchfield took care of the warranty and didnt give me any issues. Also i wish that i could see the grills because they are cool.
Blown Away Written By DaBudaa, Honolulu, HI on Saturday, March 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this in my '07 Dodge Caliber's rear doors (no boston accoustics). At first I installed a pair of Orion XTR 693 in the same doors. The difference in sound is amazing. More powerful bass, and clearer mid and highs. Since the SPR-69 has a smaller magnet it installed easier. I did have to replace four of the original mounting screws (the grey screws, since they are too thick) with the screws that came with the SPR-69's. I also bought baffles for this bad boys, however the plastic door trim and power window rails in the car got in the way of the baffles, so if you have a caliber like me don't get any baffles. Pros: Easy installation and much better sound quality. Cons: Price ( I think it's a little bit too expensive).
Alpine SPR-69 Written By Craig J., Ponte Vedra Beach, FL on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Chris in technical support helped me a great deal with the installation of the radio and speakers. He solved my problem with the Alpine receiver with insufficient electrical power. Superb... above and beyond. Thanks Chris.

Canterbury Punting Co
Water Lane,
Day Tours
The scene is set from the moment you step into our authentic Edwardian waiting room. You will be guided by staff in full period uniform. Our river tours last about 45 minutes, whilst you pass several medieval buildings the punter tells you the exciting stories about Canterbury's history. The script was perfected by our manager Andrew Whitely who is qualified as a green badge guide for Canterbury.
In 2014 we received a certificate of excellence by Tripadvisor for 178 reviews.
You can relax in our traditional hardwood punts, in comfortable cushioned seats & tartan blankets. We have hot water bottles available and even a canopy for when it rains. Punting our city tour is an essential part of any trip to Canterbury, because it escapes the busy city allowing you to see many parts of Canterbury only accessible by river.
Haunted River Tour
Take an Edwardian-style punt on a candle lit ghost hunting trip through the historic centre of Canterbury. Discover the frightening secrets that lie hidden in the darkness beneath Canterbury's streets.
On the haunted river tour your traditionally dressed chauffeur will point out the places where ghosts have been sighted. You will be told a series of short ghost stories which, where possible, seek to explain these supernatural manifestations. Sit comfortably on our spacious, cushioned seats and wrap up warm (or hide!) in our cosy tartan blankets, with complementary hot water bottles.
Unlike our day tour, the haunted river tour requires advanced booking. Often you can book it during the day of departure with very short notice, but the latest reservations can be made is 5pm. The Haunted river tour lasts around 1 hour.

Adults £10
Concessions £8
Children £5

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released 2 transmittals regarding the manual medical review process for outpatient therapy services that exceed $3,700. The manual medical review process, which approves or denies requests for therapy services in advance, goes into effect October 1.
Transmittal 1117 provides a list of the documentation and information that physical therapists must submit to their Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) to get approval for therapy services when patients exceed $3,700. The transmittal also provides guidance on MACs responsibilities in the review process. Specifically, MACs must make a decision (number of days approved and/or denied) and inform the provider and beneficiary (by telephone, fax, or letter; if by letter the letter must be postmarked by the 10th day) within 10 business days of receipt of all requested documentation. Failure to make a decision within 10 business days will lead to an automatic approval of the request.
If the request is denied, the contractor must provide a letter of denial to the provider and beneficiary. The provider letter must have detailed reasons (eg, not enough evidence of skilled care is not sufficient detail).
CMS recently assigned providers to 1 of 3 phases for manual medical review:
No automatic exceptions apply to claims above $3,700 for claims submitted by providers in their respective phase.
A provider education article related to this instruction will be available on CMS' website shortly.
In addition to providing details on the automatic and manual medical review exception processes, Transmittal 2537 clarifies that therapy evaluations performed after the therapy caps are reached to determine if the patient needs continued services would be exempt from the cap. CPT Codes 97001 97002 are included in this exception for evaluation services.

Despite Friday's vote, Page Field in Fort Myers is still among 149 control towers expected to close in June. / Guy Tubbs/news-press.com
Sporadic delays that hit Southwest Florida International Airport during the air-traffic controller furloughs are expected to dissipate. / Jack Hardman/news-press.com

Relief from flight delays is on the horizon.
Congress has passed a bill to end air-traffic controller furloughs, which President Barack Obama is expected to sign.
The �Reducing Flight Delays Act,� however, doesn�t address the next round of federal sequester-mandated cuts for the next fiscal year starting Oct. 1.
And those 149 contract air-traffic control towers scheduled to close mid-June aren�t yet out of jeopardy. Among them are Fort Myers� Page Field, Naples Municipal Airport and Punta Gorda Airport.
Southwest Florida airport leaders applauded Congress for taking action, but said more work remains.
�This is only a temporary, stopgap, but obviously, we are very pleased the tools are in place to reduce the flight delays,� said Bob Ball, executive director for Lee County Port Authority.
�We are cautiously optimistic; it appears the (Federal Aviation Administration) would have the flexibility to fund contract towers,� said Gary Quill, executive director for Punta Gorda Airport.
Under the act, the FAA is allowed to shift $253 million from other accounts to end the furloughs that began Sunday. The Senate approved it Thursday night; the House on Friday.
Lawmakers said the furloughs could end immediately after the president signs the bill into law. But the FAA said it wasn't clear how quickly the controller schedules could be changed to fully staff control towers.
According to USA TODAY:
� About 1,000 flights a day this work week have been delayed on average because of furloughs.
� Controller staffing has been down about 10 percent every day all week.
The delays drew groans from tourism and travel leaders as well as from passengers.
�We want our visitors� experience to be positive from start to finish,� said Tamara Pigott, executive director for Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau. �Having funds restored to avoid flight delays is important to the travel experience,� Pigott said.
Airport executives voiced some disappointment the legislation allows the FAA to shift money to end furloughs by raiding the Airport Improvement Program. Taxes on airfares and the sale of aviation fuel feed this program.
�Airports don�t like the precedent of going into capital improvement money to fund operating expenses,� Ball said.
Ball�s understanding, though, is the bill would allow the FAA to only tap the program�s �discretionary fund.�
�We�re not looking for discretionary funds� for FAA-grant-eligible projects under way at Southwest Florida International or at Page Field, Ball said.
Many of the airports facing tower closure are �relievers,� keeping smaller and slower aircraft away from the bigger commercial airports.
If the local towers close, Naples airport chief Ted Soliday has predicted takeoffs and landings at Southwest Florida International could double during the region�s busy winter and early spring seasons.
Ball and others have likened the impact from potential tower closings to replacing the signal lights at the bustling Daniels Parkway-U.S. 41 intersection in south Fort Myers with stop signs.
Traffic would be manageable from midnight to 3 a.m., but they hate to think what would happen during morning and evening rush hours.
Nationally, the tower closings would �make for a chaotic air transportation system,� Ball said.
Soliday has said Naples will keep its tower open �by hook or by crook.� Quill in Punta Gorda said his airport authority lacks the money to pay controllers� salaries.
Lee County Port Authority �is evaluating all our options,� Ball said. The authority has not joined in lawsuits filed by other airports, including Naples and Punta Gorda.
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Orlando, said in a news release Friday the FAA should no longer have to close the air traffic control towers.
U.S. Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fort Myers, did not vote Friday, according to the U.S. Representatives roll call website. He couldn�t be reached for comment.
Starting Monday, Ball and others will resume a letter-writing campaign to lawmakers and federal aviation leaders.
Said Ball: �Hopefully we can get enough support ... to convince the FAA to continue funding contract towers.�
