I know people complain about people who bring their luggage to the motor coach, not using the luggage delivery but we landed at 6:40PM and still have no luggage at 11:30PM and bell services is saying it will be another 45 minutes. Anyone else having issues like this with the luggage delivery?
I'm sorry that you haven't received your luggage yet. We have always received ours within the three hour window. Hoping you get it real soon.
I've not heard people complain about those who choose to bring their luggage on DME I don't usually use DME on arrival as i fly into Ft Lauderdale first to visit family, but the few times I've flown into MCO first, I've always had prompt luggage delivery. And coming in from the west coast, we always arrive late afternoon, or early evening.
Luggage delivery is about 3 - 4 hours after you check in at your resort so assuming you checked in around 8-8:30, then 12:15 isn't too far outside the delivery window.
Got the luggage at the 5 hour window. This is the longest it has ever taken. Hopefully this an outlier. I just wanted to see if others had experienced this.
I don't really ever remember reading about complaints against those people that bring their luggage on DME. We actually did this on our last trip. I'm so glad we did because when we checked in at 10:30 am our room was ready so we were able to unpack and get our room set up right away.
I have read some posts where people mentioning it slowing the process down. Maybe on one of the stickies. On evening arrivals from now on we will be claiming our bags. Word to the wise.
I am one of those who has complained. Why, you might ask?? My worst experience was when the bus was almost completely full. There were about 5 families that brought their checked bags with them...largish families to boot!!! Each group had about 6 bags. So, it took time to load the bags at the airport. This was the only time I have sat on that bus for more than 20 mins...close to 40 mins on the bus. Now, granted, I was among the first to board. Then, we went to AKL first (POP had normally been the first stop, but not this time!!). There, 3 families got off...2 of them with their bags. The driver held everyone on the bus while he took out the bags. Evidently, this practice of holding guests hostage is supposed to have stopped. In any case, that driver took each family and handed bags to them...and not quickly. He wanted to be sure he didn't miss out on any gratuities. We sat at AKL for 15 mins total. Then, it was off to CSR...and the previous scenario was played out, again. This time though?? 20 mins sitting there since the driver had missed one or two bags beneath the bus!!! By the time I got to POP, I had been 'in transit' for about 90 mins!!! And of that time, almost 30 mins was taken up, sitting at the previous two resorts, waiting for bags to be disbursed. Obviously, this isn't the norm...but it sure wasn't a great way to start my stay. Oh, and this wasn't a late in the day situation...it was prior to noon!!! I can understand getting your own bags after 7pm, but at noon??? Many rooms aren't even ready yet!!! The later you arrive, prior to that 10pm cutoff, the longer it may take your bags to get to you. Many of the resorts have fewer CMs on duty in the baggage area. The value resorts practically come to a complete halt after 10pm!!!! So, if you arrive at your resort by 9ish?? YOu may have a slightly longer wait time for bags to arrive.
I never had any luggage issues with DME until my recent stay at POR about three weeks ago. My luggage was not delivered until about 5 hours after my flight arrival time. My flight arrived around 11:00 am and it was almost 4:00 PM before it was delivered.
When figuring delivery time, remember it's your resort checkin time that starts the ticking clock, not your flight arrival time.
The only time we have had to wait longer than the 3 hours to be delivered is when Southwest Airlines allowed our luggage to get off in Nashville instead of going all the way to Orlando... We got our luggage 2 days later. Other than that we've never had problems.
We have only had problems when ME did not pick up my sisters bag. She got the resort at noon (a friend and I had already checked in earlier, left key for sister at front desk), met us at MK, we got back to the room at 8:30 PM. She went to the front desk and the manager started helping her to find her luggage. Around midnight she told the manager when the bag got there, that she would get it in the morning. The manager did open the gift shop and let her get a nightshirt to sleep in ( she offered to pay for it but her refused). He also gave her toothbrush and toothpaste. 1AM and a knock at the door. Her luggage was being delivered!
This makes me add...the manager at CBR was awesome, and without us asking, he took us down to the gift shop and allowed us to pick stuff to wear as well as some toiletries and then put a credit on our account in case we needed to get other stuff too. I think he felt bad when I burst into tears about not having our luggage and SW being less than responsive. Anyway, that just goes to show the amazing customer service at Disney. It wasn't even their fault and they did more than SW to correct the problem and without us even asking.
There last few posts bring up a good thought....you just can't be sure what happened to late arriving luggage. It may very well not have been DME's issue, but in all actuality, the airlines. If the bag got misdirected, then it's going to be a lot longer than 4 or 5 hrs!! And many times, no one will take responsibility for that lateness!!! Drives me nuts. This is why we always recommend packing your carryon bag with anything you may need to start your vacation. And that doesn't mean just when traveling to WDW!!! If your checked bag gets delayed, you will at least have a change of clothes and something to sleep in...as well as toiletries. I know that when we flew home from Fort Lauderdale one NYE, we got diverted to Philly....no landing in Providence. Because we were heading home, I didn't pack that carryon correctly. And when we got diverted?? We could get off in Philly, book a room and get out on the first flight in the morning. BUT..they didn't have time to take off the checked bags!!! I had nothing in my carryon for the evening. So, we stayed with the plane, back to Ft Lauderdale, booked a room for the night, got our checked bags and flew out again first thing in the morning. Could have just stayed in Philly if I had had what I needed!!!! So, pack those carryon bags accordingly!!!!
100% Agreed! We had a late arrival and we actually did have our carryons, but only stocked with stuff that we would need to go to bed (pj's, etc...) Luckily, our girls carryons had all of their stuff in them, but DH and I had no clothes to wear for the next day...we certainly overpack our carryons now!!!
We arrived last week on Oct 31. Our flight got in at 930. We didn't get our bags at the WL until 345. That's the longest we have ever waited. Thankfully we brought suits and shorts in our carry ons. Problem was that we packed our girls costumes in our luggage. Thankfully they got them for the party
Again, the time your flight arrived does not matter one bit! The delivery clock starts ticking when you check in at your resort. So I'm guessing you checked in around 11ish? Depending on time of year the deliver window is 3-4 hours. So your bags were a little late, but not by much. It is always a good idea to pack whatever you will need for 24 hours into your carry-on. That means a change of clothes, meds, and maybe swim wear and pajamas. That way if your luggage is misdirected you are not stuck in your room waiting for your bags. Or stuck having to buy a whole new wardrobe.
Next week we will be arriving around 5 pm and will definitely be claiming our own luggage. We were 3 hours past check in last time we flew in the evening and didn't get luggage until 10 pm - not fun to unpack and organize at that time with an 8:05 CP reservation the next morning! Lesson learned for those evening flights. We shouldn't have too many people on ME with us the day after Thanksgiving who would be bothered, seeing that overall crowd levels for the following week are in the 3's.
Reminder: Disney doesn't take care of tipping anyone when the guest brings their own luggage to the DME bus; and it's customary to tip anyone you encounter who handles your luggage.

Following on from the excellent PNY 320MB GeForce 8800 GTS card comes this even better version from Asus. Not only is it cheaper, but it comes with a free copy of Ghost Recon. And this is one of the best deals on the market. While it may be no match for the all-conquering 8800 GTX, nor even for the 640MB version of the 8800 GTS, the Asus is still a powerful card.
The 320bit memory interface remains impressive compared to non-8800 cards, while the core and memory clock produce a respectable memory bandwidth of 64GBps. The traditional vertex and pixel shaders are replaced with stream processors capable of operating as either, and 96 of these are built into the card.
There's support for DirectX 10.0 although, given this card's rather meagre helping of memory, it's not easy to tell how effective it will be at running intensive DirectX 10.0 games once these become widespread. Still, it's cheap enough for you to buy it for today's games, and replace it in a year or two with something a little meatier.

Driver seriously hurt in Scenic Drive crash in Modesto
A three-car crash on Modesto's Scenic Drive left two drivers with major injuries and closed both lanes of traffic on the thoroughfare for about 90 minutes Thursday morning.
A 17-year-old boy driving a Nissan Sentra east on Scenic veered over the center line for unknown reasons and broadsided a Chevrolet Tahoe traveling westbound about 9 a.m., according to officer Scott Nelson. The Tahoe then was rear ended by Jeep.
The collision occurred just west of Rose Avenue; broken glass, plastic and other debris lay near the crushed Nissan.
The Nissan's driver suffered broken femurs on both legs and a lacerated spleen, Nelson said.
The driver of the Chevrolet, 57-year-old Esmeralda Moreno of Modesto, suffered a broken leg, ankle and right wrist.
Both drivers were taken by ambulance to the hospital.
The driver of the Jeep and a 4-year-old girl who was properly restrained in the back seat had minor injuries.
Scenic was closed for more than 90 minutes between Rose and Brighton avenues.
Officers are trying to determine what caused the crash, but drugs or alcohol do not appear to have contributed.

Aug 2006
Laface Records
From the bluesy transcendentalism of "Idlewild Blues" to the swing-hop hybrid "Mighty O" to the Princely "N2U," Outkast once again play 52-card pick up with the past century of African American music. At its core, Idlewild is an elegy disguised as a party. The aforementioned "Idlewild Blues," the haunting "Mutron Angel" and "Hollywood Divorce" all have a marked post-Katrina vibe. There's nothing on here as catchy or universal as "Hey Ya," but otherwise Idlewild is another beautiful mess from hip-hop's most creative and restless duo.

Committeeman Sandham: It was in the Montville Messenger, and I hope everyone read it – we tried to work diligently on the tax rate and debt service this year. 2006 was the first time in twenty years that the Township municipal debt decreased, not increased. We followed the recommendations of the Long-Term Financial Planning Committee.
PRESENTATION OF ROUTE 202 TRAFFIC STUDY: Study prepared by Orth-Rodgers Associates, Inc. entitled Traffic Analysis and Conceptual Intersection Design, Main Road (Legis. Route 202) in Montville Township dated February 1, 2007 is hereby made an official part of these minutes. The Study is available for inspection and/or purchase in hard copy or on cd in the Montville Township Municipal Clerk's office.
Chairman Daughtry welcomed everyone to the meeting. He read a background statement regarding the study into the record:
The objective of tonight's meeting is to hear firsthand County study results and recommendations from the professionals involved with the study. As part of this study, I have asked our Township professionals to acknowledge and certify all of the criteria used to support the study, such as growth potential and the impacts of this growth along this corridor.
No decisions are being made tonight regarding endorsement of all or any of the County recommendations by the Township Committee.
The public will be encouraged to ask questions of any of the professionals at the conclusion of their presentation.
I also want to publicly thank the County Engineering Department and the Freeholders for funding this effort.
After the question and answer session regarding the Route 202 Study, there will be a brief discussion with the County regarding the improvements to the corner of River Road and Route 202.
Tonight we have the following professionals in attendance that have either participated in the study or reviewed and commented regarding the results: Mr. Steve Hammond, Morris County Engineer; Mr. Chris Vitz, Assistant Morris County Engineer; Mr. P. Norman Deitch of Orth-Rodgers, the consulting firm hired by the County; Mrs. Linda White, Director of Montville Township Land Use; Mr. Tony Barile, Montville Township Engineer; Chief Richard Cook and Lt. Dave Peterson, Montville Township Police Department; and Deputy Mayor Deb Nielson.
Background: The last extensive traffic study at the County level was March 1992. Over 850 citizens signed a petition to put a traffic light at Park and Whitehall in June 2004. Changebridge and Route 202 at peak busy hour is within 100 cars of the same situation at that intersection prior to opening Route 287 northbound. A "new" Route 202 was planned in the 80's and subsequently abandoned due to opposition from residents in the Changebridge at Montville site. A bridge was removed in the early 80's that crossed over the railroad tracks from Route 202 onto Bellows Lane east of Jacksonville Road in preparation for the realigned Route 202 that was supposed to go down Whitehall Road, along Canal Road, onto Macculloch Drive, and interconnect to Route 287 where the northbound entrance exists today.
Goals of this study: To reach agreement on a plan to resolve traffic issues within this corridor and to actually fund those improvements. To continue the spirit of cooperation with the County and to look into other routes in town that are controlled by the County that are in need of improvement.
Chairman Daughtry introduced Steve Hammond, Morris County Engineer; and P. Norman Deitch and Brian M. Stankus of Orth-Rodgers, Traffic Engineering Firm.
Deitch stated this traffic study was broken down into the North section and the South section. The North section is the Towaco area. We did field observations and traffic counts from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.; 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. We did license plate i.d.'s (South area), crash analysis, existing intersection analysis, review of anticipated developments, future volume projections and analysis, i.d. of required improvements, and cost estimates.
North study area – Towaco: The petition regarding the traffic light at Route 202 and Whitehall Road – it does warrant it. A benefit is it will divert volume off of Firehouse Road.
Intersection of Pine Brook Road and Whitehall Road – recommendation is a turning island or warning signs/flashes. The two traffic signals close together are currently running on a short cycle. Installation of a signal on Main and Whitehall should help this. Another recommendation is a left turn lane in front of the post office. We want to minimize queuing. Estimated cost is $300,000. Possible auxiliary lanes on Main Road at Whitehall Road.
Potential Main Road/Whitehall Road bridge – there is a concept drawing. Estimated cost $7 to $8 million. A bridge would improve things.
South study area: License plate matching surveys – just first three characters. Morning peak hour 40% of cars turned right onto Changebridge Road. Cars do use Schneider Lane as a bypass. That will have to be addressed.
Proposed South study area improvements without potential bypass roadway: widen Main Road to provide a lane between Changebridge Road and Route 287. Expand intersection. Left turn slot into 2 Changebridge Road. Any widening of Main Road - that trestle by 2 Changebridge Road is a design constraint, but it can be done. Estimated cost $1.2 million.
In addition, we looked at what happens if we build a bypass of the Main Road/Changebridge Road intersection from Route 287 ramp to Changebridge Road across from Maccullouch. Approximately 40% of Main Road/Changebridge Road traffic could divert to bypass.
Proposed improvements with bypass: Left turn slot onto Route 202 from Changebridge Road. Widen Changebridge Road to provide three-lane approach. Traffic signal at bypass – Changebridge & Maccullouch. Widen Changebridge Road. Cost $3.1 million. This does not include right-of-ways.
Chairman Daughtry thanked Mr. Deitch. He also thanked the Morris County Freeholders for funding this study.
Daughtry asked five questions:
1) Provided the recommendations are endorsed by the Township Committee at a later date, what funding amounts/resources will the County and/or State contribute to the proposed improvements?
Steve Hammond, Morris County Engineer, stated there are two County roads involved – 30% Township and 70% County. 50/50 for one County road and one Township road. Right now, they are not looking at any Federal or State money. They are not accepting any applications. Potential State aid for paving. It will mostly be a local and County project. Anticipating timeline – engineering one year, construction one year.
2) What would be the timelines to actually complete the recommended improvements?
Hammond stated construction South area – just signal and widening – nine months. North area – five months. Three-year timeframe with engineering, bidding, construction, etc.
Committeeman Sandham stated all of the quotes do not include right-of-ways.
Hammond stated it depends on where we are talking. If it is Main Road – we own almost all of the right-of-way.
3) For both the North and South study areas, what is the life expectancy after the proposed improvements are implemented, including expected critical traffic counts, that would trigger further improvements?
Hammond stated there is a ten-year life expectancy.
4) When this artery reaches the next trigger point will another physical route be necessary (i.e. Changebridge Road bypass)?
Hammond stated he cannot provide a good answer on that. He cannot predict the growth, etc.
5) I understand various traffic data and traffic studies were provided to you by Lane Use and independent sources along the various corridors in the community. As it relates to the improvement along Changebridge Road/Route 202 and the possibility of development or redevelopment of the Vreeland Farm area, what benefits would come from the proposed construction/improvement of a four-way intersection in this area?
Hammond stated left turns into the Police Station and whatever is developed there – it would help with left-hand turns going in and coming out.
Steve Sammit, Changebridge @ Montville, asked if they looked at the zebra stripes on Changebridge Road. People cross that all the time. They are supposed to stay off of them.
Deitch stated they did look at that as part of the study.
Hammond stated that is an enforcement issue. One option is to narrow out the road.
Steven Bale, Changebridge @ Montville, stated trying to make a left into Maccullouch – there have been any accidents because of people coming up over the zebra stripes.
Josh Jandura, Rathbun Road, Towaco, asked is anything was done in the study in the area of Rathbun Road. There is limited sight distance there.
Hammond replied that was not looked at in this study. They could look at it in a separate study.
Cindy Varrone, Changebridge @ Montville, asked if it is indicated in the study if the bypass road would draw more traffic that may not normally be in the area. Also, was there any consideration given to bicycle lanes?
Dietch stated he does not feel the bypass Road would attract any additional traffic. Bike lanes – it hasn't been designed yet. It is something that will be looked at.
Gary Lewis, Cooks Farm Road, Montville, stated Whitehall Road/Firehouse Road traffic signal timing – when it is green, it is red on Main Road. I wouldn't change the timing. I would just put a green arrow there that is somehow linked to the firehouse.
Hammond stated they will look into that.
Gerry Hug stated the bypass road – if that is chosen, is that considered a County improvement?
Hammond answered he would say yes.
Ilene Green, Changebridge @ Montville, stated widening the road – the railroad bridge – if you are only widening to there, aren't you just bottlenecking it there?
Dietch stated improving the traffic signal will improve it there.
Green stated when school gets out, the traffic is worse.
Trishka Patrone, Majorca Road, Towaco, asked is there anyway you can tell how many cars are actually going into Lincoln Park? Maybe we can ask the State to make an exit into Lincoln Park.
Daughtry stated when Route 287 was originally proposed, there was supposed to be an exit in Lincoln Park. We are taking all of that traffic. It would be a great time to call the State and ask for an exit ramp. We probably won't get it. All of the proposed improvements are definite improvements.
Steven Baylor, Changebridge @ Montville, asked on the bypass, are you planning on making any restrictions – i.e. no trucks. Also, I don't want anyone to forget this is a residential town. This has to be taken into consideration.
George Hoffman, Route 202, Towaco, stated the street Nowak Lane – there is a constant flow of u-turns there. Did you notice this in the study?
Dietch stated they did not notice that.
Hammond stated the bypass road – there would not be any restrictions. Trucks would be allowed.
Rich Moore, Indian Hill Road, Towaco, asked if they considered a five-second delay to give residents coming from Indian Hill Road a chance to get through.
Hammond stated they did not look at that design yet.
Dave Palmer, Changebridge @ Montville, stated there is a proposed 18-truck stop and the bypass road would bring more trucks to the area.
Daughtry stated you will have the opportunity to comment on the development at Planning Board.
Jandura stated she is very surprised they didn't look at Rathbun/Main Road. There are accidents there. There is a very bad turn in the road there.
Steve Netsky, President, Changebridge @ Montville, asked what are the exact numbers.
Dietch stated the total vehicles approaching the intersection – right turn onto Changebridge Road – peak 190 evening to 370 morning peak.
Netsky asked what is the potential volume there?
Hammond stated that depends on the zoning, etc., what goes there. That is up to the Planning Board and the Township.
Daughtry stated there are four tracts of property that are going to affect that intersection.
Netsky stated residential units don't have the same impact as a commercial or retail use. Did you use the current zoning/uses in your study and projections?
Dietch answered yes, and growth projections.
Linda White, Land Use Administrator, stated the Quick Check application is on the Planning Board agenda of April 12th. The application is on file already. Feel free to look at it.
Hammond stated the projections were based on the existing zone.
Joe Spinella, 45 Cobblestone, Montville, asked will that April 12th application be subject to County approval?
White stated the application on for April 12th is only a request for rezoning.
Spinella asked would the development application be subject to the County? Hammond answered yes.
Spinella asked would that be based on the current traffic flow? Hammond answered partly yes.
Dave Burkler, Rathbun Road, Towaco, stated he would confirm what his neighbor's said. It is a very dangerous intersection. What would help is the removal of the tree.
Hammond stated he will have his assistant look at it within a week.
White stated there is a subdivision there and as a requirement there are improvements that have to be done at that intersection. I will provide the information to Mr. Hammond.
Mr. Angelo, Changebridge @ Montville, asked there are 2,200 cars at the Route 202/Changebridge Road intersection per hour? Dietch answered yes.
Angelo asked the growth is about 500? Dietch answered yes, over ten years.
Angelo stated that is a 20% increase. I don't think anyone would support that.
Christopher Vitz, Senior Engineer, Morris County, distributed a sketch of the proposed new corner radius of 50 feet.
Vitz stated the timeframe would be within three months once they get the approval from the Township.
Committeeman Sandham thanked Mr. Hammond for taking a second look at that intersection.
Dawn Mazzaccaro, River Road, Montville, stated a bottleneck was created in the road. Large vehicles have to take up the whole road. How is two feet going to make a difference?
Hammond stated two feet is the minimum – it gets wider. It is designed to be a mountable curb.
Mazzaccaro stated but what I pull behind me is a horse trailer. I can't go over it.
Vitz showed Mrs. Mazzaccaro on the sketch that it will be widened there.
Mazzaccaro stated the other concern is the backup there.
Committeewoman Nielson asked Mrs. Mazzaccaro if she can make the right onto River Road from Route 202. Mazzaccaro answered no, she cannot.
Nielson asked is there anyway we can improve that?
Hammond stated not without considerably widening the road.
Barbara Mazzaccaro, Moore Road, Montville, spoke about the difficulty turning onto River Road from Route 202. You have to go far up to make the turn in.
Nielson stated the North study – the bridge proposed potentially – that would be a large impact on the residents and businesses in the area.
Hammond stated the cost far exceeds what the County would fund.
Nielson stated the constraints on the railroad bridges, perhaps we could press our legislators and get Federal funding for that.
Hammond stated he would be more than happy to work with the Township on that.
Nielson stated the intersection of Pine Brook Road and Whitehall Road – I did notice there are wooded areas there. Could improvements be made immediately? Sight triangles, etc. I don't thinks it's not doable.
Hammond stated I don't think it is not doable. There are short-term solutions. Re-grading, etc. are more long-term solutions.
Nielson stated South study area – I was personally surprised to see a four-lane highway with excel and decal lanes. Also, there were no left turn lanes for going into the Senior Center.
Committeeman Moscone asked if funding is available this year.
Hammond stated their capital budget is already in place.
Moscone asked if we could start engineering this year for a signal, etc. Hammond replied for a signal, yes.
Sandham stated Towaco section – there is a significant impact on downtown by putting in that bypass. Would you envision a signal at Jacksonville Road/Route 202?
Hammond stated they have not gotten that far yet.
Sandham stated signal Route 202/Whitehall Road – would you put a right-hand turn lane there?
Hammond stated with the four lanes there, a right-hand turn lane is defacto.
School buses going into Firehouse Road – they are blocking that intersection. Are you going to look at that?
Hammond answered yes.
Daughtry stated there are properties on Whitehall Road – there may be a restaurant. If it can be channeled down to two lanes, can there be parallel parking there?
Hammond stated they could take a look at that.
Daughtry asked would they solicit the State of New Jersey and NJ Transit to look at this bridge?
Hammond stated you would have a better shot of them working on the Whitehall Road bridge as a safety issue.
Daughtry stated but asking NJ Transit – they may want to do the new bridge because it would alleviate pressure on the other two bridges.
Anthony Barile, Township Engineer, stated he spoke to NJ Transit about a year ago, and they have no long-term capital plans. It would take a lot of political pressure.
Daughtry stated ok, send a letter.
Sandham stated the Board of Education and Township Committee subcommittee met. The BOE moving to town hall does not seem to be viable at this time. The cost estimates escalated. The subcommittee has been working together. It has come to a potential solution of going to 86 River Road with renovating or building a new building. The cost estimates that their architect submitted seemed to be high – that is what the Township Committee feels. We want to get someone else to look at the numbers.
Sandham stated 86 River Road is underused. We will not be adding to the infrastructure. Does this Township Committee want to undertake this renovation or potentially knock it down and build a new building?
Nielson stated that was summarized accurately – what has been discussed to date. We discussed a lease, but no terms were discussed yet. The term would generally be up to ten years. They would pay rent in lieu of what they pay now. They would pay the down payment, architectural fees, etc. Parking lot improvements would be born by the BOE.
Jon Alin, Board of Education President, stated their preference is to demolish the building and start from scratch. Our goal is to build the most cost effective permanent home. If nothing comes of this, our option is to go to referendum. We would pay for the 86 River Road building. We would own the building after payment of the lease.
Nielson stated she did not recall the transfer of the ownership of the building.
Alin stated they would lease for ten years to payoff the debt.
Sandham stated I don't think anyone on this committee would want that property sitting there doing nothing. Do we want to give the site to the BOE and let them build the building, go out to referendum, or do we want to build the building and they pay us back the debt? I do want legal counsel's opinion of bonding this and then renting it out. I also believe we need to have a public hearing on this. When could you go to referendum?
Alin stated we can go to referendum four times per year. If we were going to referendum, we would go as a multi-use building.
Martin Murphy, Township Attorney, stated bond counsel states no problem with doing this. We would reduce it to writing. We would need four votes.
Moscone stated we need a rough number. Also, we have to comply with ADA requirements.
Daughtry stated we had a bid amount of $420,000 that was for the roof, windows, and stucco. The fire department has $100,000 in their budget for that.
Alin stated we are looking to build the cheapest building we can.
Daughtry stated he would like to offer the BOE $1.5 million, and they can do what they want with it.
Sandham asked would you be in favor of the Township bonding up to $1.5 million to support BOE offices at the 86 River Road property? It is under the understanding they are repaying us the entire amount in no longer than 15 years.
Committeewoman Bader stated she needs more solid numbers.
Nielson stated she needs to know that this is barebones and it doesn't necessary have to be $1.5 million. I am generally in favor. There may be an issue with the architect.
Moscone stated he generally agrees with everyone. I don't like the architect, but the architect should be yours. We need a solid number up to $1.5 million. The public needs to know. Who is paying for the demo of the building? I am in favor of up to $1.5 million and demolishing the building.
Daughtry stated we will take the building down.
Sandham stated he is in favor of the least costly, most economical building. I am comfortable up to $1.5 million. That takes their rent down by 25%. I would like to see it come in for less.
Daughtry stated he has the same sentiments as Committeeman Sandham. I have faith in the members of the BOE to do the right thing. Let's get this out to the public as a discussion item on April 10th.
Robert Gannon stated he would suggest using an architect that does not necessarily specialize in schools, as it is just a building. $230 per s.f. should be doable.
Daughtry stated we will discuss this at the April 10th meeting. We will discuss with the BOE after their election.
Alin stated he will poll his board.
Meeting adjourned at 11:30 p.m. Motion: Moscone. Second: Sandham. All in favor. Motion approved.
Respectfully submitted,
Gertrude H. Atkinson, Township Clerk

He also helped lead Evansville to their best ever finishes at the Indiana Intercollegiate Championship, Missouri Valley Conference Championship and the NCAA Great Lakes Region Championships.
Once finishing his athletic career, Metelko graduated from the University of Evansville with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and is currently pursuing his Master of Science degree in Geography from Northern Illinois University. Metelko and his wife Beth reside in La Crosse, Wis. and have one daughter, Rose.

On August 17, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed Senate Bill 886, which prohibits any compensation paid to a mortgage broker or lender that is based on the terms of a mortgage, except for compensation linked to the principal balance of the loan. This prohibition of so-called yield spread premiums is a change from existing state law that prohibited "abusive" yield spread premiums in connection with high-cost mortgages.
On August 14, New York enhanced consumer privacy protections when it enacted Assembly Bill 8892. Just as the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 applies to federal, state, and local government agencies, this bill prohibits private businesses from conditioning the provision of services on a consumer's willingness to disclose his or her Social Security number upon request. The law provides several exceptions, including when the collection of the Social Security Number is (i) otherwise required by law, (ii) requested in connection with the opening of a deposit account or a credit transaction initiated by the consumer, or (iii) required for any business function allowed under the Gramm Leach Bliley Act.

Restaurants in Charlottesville, VA
- 9 Comments
- Follow
I am moving to Charlottesville in a week and would appreciate any recomendations for fine dining, casual lunches and great weekend breakfasts. Thanks!
So many great ones to choose from! We're obviously biased but like to think there's a lot to find here: http://mastomillers.com .
Personally, my favorite fine dining these days is outside of town at Fossett's, but innovative tasty southern near-fine dining at Brookville on the downtown mall. Best Italian in town at Tavola.
For weekend brunch/breakfast, most popular might be the Blue Grass Grill & Bakery or Blue Moon Diner, though I find Blue Moon underwhelming. Good artisan bacon, though. Tons of places serving brunch, though. l'etoile is a favorite.
Casual lunch – grab good locally sourced sandwiches, salads, and soups at Revolutionary Soup, or join the Bodo's Bagel craze.
Blue Moon Diner
512 W Main St, Charlottesville, VA 22903Revolutionary Soup
104 14th St NW, Charlottesville, VA 22903Blue Moon Cafe
714 Lee St E, Charleston, WV 25301Fossett's
Keswick Hall at Monticello, Keswick, VA 229470 -
We had a very nice dinner with friends at the Local in Charlottesville just a few weeks ago. It's not on the downtown mall but in a small neighborhood square with some other interesting-looking restaurants there. The Local specializes (as you might guess from the name) in locally-sourced foods.
0 -
i've liked brunch at maya
you have to get tacos from la michoaca (sp?)
and had a recent nice dinner at duner's. looked like it'd be terrible but it wasn't .
i live in richmond but have visited friends so i don't have too much to offer. sorry. i do know people like tavola also.0-
re: AMFM
La Michoacana definitely has the best tacos in Charlottesville, but don't expect much if you're moving from anywhere west of Louisiana. We still have a long way to go with our Mexican food in this town...
re: mastomillers
my brother - who lives in cville now and who i visit - lived in LA and thinks they're fab. so.... while i doubt they're the best anywhere, i still think they're pretty good. :)
re: AMFM
LA? Crazy talk, I tell you! Best tacos and burritos in the country are from San Diego to San Francisco, in my opinion, definitely including LA. Micho is better than a lot of places out there but the good ones out there put Micho to shame.
re: mastomillers
i'm sure - but he had 8 years in DC and ATL in between. not saying they're better than LA - just that they're closer than he even found in those big cities. and he was pleasantly surprised, with low expectations for a small town like cville is all.
We highly recommend Beer Run for breakfast, lunch and brunch or even a casual dinner. The best beer selection in town, available any time they are open, and the food is damned good. http://www.beerrun.com/
Local favorites include Continental Divide, Bizou, C&O, L'etoile, Maya and The Local. L'etoile and C&O would be considered fine dining. The others are just tasty.
Bodo's and Marco & Luca are great for inexpensive bagels and dumplings, respectively. Christian's has great pizza by the slice. Don't expect NY style. My favorite is the avocado feta.
Where in Cville will you be living? Neighborhood may influence suggestions, though nothing is more than 15-20 minutes away.
Continental Divide
811 W Main St, Charlottesville, VA 22903Bizou
119 W Main St, Charlottesville, VA 22902Marco & Luca
112 W Main St Ste 15, Charlottesville, VA 22902L'etoile Restaurant
817 W Main St, Charlottesville, VA 229030 -
You might read up on these threads: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/703326, http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/618393, http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/716402, http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/706099, http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/740446
All have very good information. I don't know that I can type any more than I did on those threads. I was recently at Orzo Wine Bar and it was great. All the food was really good.

Caricom Heads urge UK to reconsider Montserrat's case
– as 29th summit ends
Caricom Heads of Government have expressed their disappointment at the United Kingdom's denial of the request by Montserrat for an entrustment to participate in the Caricom Single Market and Economy.
In a communiqué issued at the end of the 29th Caricom Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda on Friday, the Heads and urged the UK to reconsider its position.
According to the communiqué, Heads have approved a framework for dealing with child protection and development, which looks at the potential impact of climate change and how to deal with children in emergencies. They have also agreed to explore the issue of the regions capacity to provide services in connection with organ transplants.
The Heads also provided their signatures for the Caricom Development Fund's (CDF) provisional applications. The fund was opened with US$60 million, with a target of US$250 million.
CDF is intended to provide financial support and other assistance to disadvantaged countries.
A task force on climate change was established to provide advice on ways to combat rising food costs in the light of global climate changes.
With respect to tourism in the region which was discussed on the first business day, the Heads have agreed on a strategy of a "regional marketing campaign" to create a regional marketing fund and a comprehensive information gathering system that will satisfactorily reflect what contributions the tourism sector makes to the economy of Caribbean nations.
Heads also reaffirmed their support for stronger alliance of the regions airlines with a focus on emerging new markets.
The Caribbean Aviation Safety and Security Oversight System (CASSOS) was established after the signing of an agreement by governments of Guyana, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago to institute the system in pursuant of Article 21 of the revised Treaty of Chaguaramas. CASSOS places the Regional Aviation Safety Oversight System (RASOS) with additional functions which are aimed at effectively sharing the limited technical aviation expertise in the region; synchronization of the region's training, licensing and inspection procedures in the aviation sector and providing technical support to member states to ensure that all international safety measures are employed by all the states. The approach of CASSOS is consistent with that of ICAO and the US Federal Aviation Administration.
Several heads have expressed their willingness to sign the EU/Cariforum Economic partnership Agreement.
However it was noted that consultations are to be held in Guyana before any decisions are taken to sign the agreement.
The heads have also conveyed their gratitude to Guyana for the plans it has laid out for Carifesta and to Trinidad and Tobago for agreeing to host the inaugural Caribbean Games, being organized by the Caribbean Association of National Olympic Committee (CANOC) and the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Association (TTOC) and scheduled to be held in July 2009.
The games are intended to draw out the best athletes in the region and will be held every four years.
