Critics worry railroad firm is off track
MTS has given 99-year lease to open Campo-to-Plaster City line
Rohal said the payments were improper, because they appeared to show money raised from investors for the business were instead being paid to an entity controlled by the company's largest shareholder. After investing what he said was $750,000 of his own and family's money into Pacific Imperial, Rohal said he and Dahlman were terminated.
But Stoecklein, who served as the president of the company for most of 2013, said the duo were wrong. The payments to AC Funding were actually stock repayments, fees for consulting and loan repayments, he said in an interview.
He said AC Funding was one part of a larger investment entity that loaned Pacific Imperial $1.2 million since 2011 for what are essentially start up costs for getting the rail line operating. He also said they assisted with other tasks, like providing contacts in Mexican government and rail circles and dealing with Customs and Border Protection.
"We needed expertise so we brought in AC Funding as a consultant," he said.
There have been other issues. Last year PIR purchased three locomotives for $450,000 but they are not suitable for use on the rail line, because they are underpowered. Stoecklein acknowledged that, but said they will be used ultimately
Jablonski said Rohal and Dahlman came to them with their allegations.
"They gave us some documents, we looked them over, and frankly we did not see anything in there you could construe of hard evidence of fraud," he said.
For now, the company is in compliance with the lease, Jablonski said. Under the lease terms Pacific Imperial has to have limited operations going on the line by the end of 2015.
"The next six months is going to be very telling," Jablonski said.
Stoecklein said he is bringing in a new investment backing firm to raise money, and said that the $500,000 payment due in July will be met.
Rohal is not so sure. He said the company has little money in the bank when he left.
"They couldn't attract any of the institutional capital required for the amount of work needed to restore the line," he said.
Others have voiced similar doubt. A member of the Smart Border Coalition, a group that advocates for a more efficient border infrastructure, sent an email to MTS officials in February.
"It is apparent that PIR will soon be in default and has been unable to garner adequate support from the binational community," wrote Steve Williams of the San Diego real estate investment company SENTRE Partners.
Williams said in an interview he was not speaking on behalf of the coalition, and was concerned that the turmoil would lead to a "rerun" of previous failed attempts to resurrect the rail line.
"We on both sides of the border need a rail connection," Williams said. "This is the magic moment to get this problem fixed."
During the U-T's reporting of this story the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce provided an unsolicited statement from CEO Jerry Sanders. It said the future boon from reopening the railroad "is significant in terms of the companies we will be able to attract to the region."
Sanders said MTS has a solid business plan in hand and "with MTS's supervision, it has a great chance for success."

Pollution Takes Joy Out of Day at the Beach
By John F. Bonfatti
With a car full of bathing suit-clad youngsters, Laura Goetz pulled up Tuesday to Woodlawn Beach State Park in Hamburg, to be told no swimming was allowed.
"They said, 'We're going to the beach, and we can't swim? Why are we going?,' " Goetz said. "How do you explain that to the kids?"
Not easily, not when the sun shines bright, the beach stretches wide and the water is an inviting shade of aquamarine.
But the dilemma arises too frequently in Western New York, according to a study of how often water samples from beaches exceeded daily maximum bacteria standards.
Four area beaches finished among the worst 11 in the state last year, according to the report prepared by the National Resources Defense Council.
Most of the problem can be traced to contaminants that enter the water through storm and sewer drains, said Brian Smith of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, which released the report locally.
"Storm water can carry contamination, like pesticides and waste from wildlife, that can run off from things like parking lots into our water bodies," he said.
According to the study, samples from Chautauqua County beaches exceeded standards 23 percent of the time, the highest percentage in the state. Erie County had the third highest rate — 21 percent — followed by Niagara in fourth place with 18 percent.
Citing federal Environmental Protection Agency data covering 365 beaches in the state, the report said beaches exceeded pollution standards 11 percent of the time last year, compared with 9 percent in 2006.
Statewide, Wright Park West Beach in Dunkirk recorded the second highest proportion of samples — 38 percent — exceeding the standard.
This year, that beach has been closed only twice, said Mark Stow, the county's director of environmental health science.
"This has been a good year for that beach," he said.
Samples from a beach in Suffolk County on Long Island exceeded the standard 44 percent of the time, while samples from Wright Park East Beach exceeded 27 percent of the time.
Samples at the Hamburg Beach and Woodlawn Beach State Park were above standard 31 percent of the time, while samples from Lake Erie State Park in Portland, near Brocton, exceeded the standard 27 percent of the time.
High bacteria counts closed the beach Tuesday in Darien Lake State Park, in addition to Woodlawn.
This year, the Woodlawn beach was closed to swimmers 48 percent of the time, compared with 41 percent last year, according to Angela Berti of the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
"We tend to be more concerned with public safety, [so] we tend to close a lot," Berti said. "It's frustrating for staff — they hate having to tell people they can't swim — and obviously, it's frustrating to the patrons."
The beach in Darien Lake State Park has been closed 28 percent of the time since it opened Memorial Day, said Berti, who did not have numbers for the beach last year.
"They're still trying to get to the bottom of the contamination there," she said, adding that initial reports citing Canada geese droppings may have been premature.
Tests so far have ruled out humans, birds, cows and horses as the source, Berti said. Testing for other animals, such as dogs, is continuing.
Storm water accounts for 70 percent of the contaminants that close beaches in the state, according to the study. Smith said people can do two things to help ease that problem.
The first is to use rain barrels to collect water from downspouts on houses, then use the water to irrigate lawns and landscaping. Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper is offering barrels for sale.
The other involves adding a rain garden, with vegetation designed to absorb more storm water and stop it from going down to the drain.
The long-term solution involves lots of pipe, Smith said. Much of the area's sewer and storm water handling infrastructure is at least 100 years old and badly in need of replacement.
In March, the state Department of Environmental Conservation estimated the statewide cost of such an overhaul at $32.6 billion over 20 years.

Woody has struggled a fair amount in his first year of full-season ball- not that his ERA would show it, but he's given up a big fistful of unearned runs.
He's old for the level and will move fast if he does well.

Salmon has been very impressive in L-ville since his promotion. I think he needs to keep showing improved control before he gets the call.
Guevara has been slapped around a little bit in the last few weeks.
Coutlangus & Shafer look ready for a AAA challenge...on their way to the bigs later this season.
"I fought because I understood and could not bear to understand, that it was my destiny -- unlike that of my father, whose fate it was to hear the roar of the crowd -- to sit in the stands with most men and acclaim others. It was my fate, my destiny, my end, to be a fan."
Coutlangus gave up two runs last night and took the loss, but he's still at 2.28. Guevara is still under 3 even though he's also been hit a little as of late.
i remember watching guevara a year or 2 ago. hes gonna be a specialist i think. his screwball or forkball or whatever they call is dang good
Shafer's pitching great and everything, but he's being used like a big-league closer, only one inning at a time and in save situations. I wish he were getting two innings at a time like Guevara or Coutlangus.
Medlock has been on the DL for almost a week. Why, I don't know, but Brock Till came up from Sarasota to wildly fling a few 97-mph fastballs until he comes back.
Maybe Brock Till is one adjustment away, i.e. Derrick Turnbull. It would be nice, if that happened, that the Reds would be the team to figure that adjustment out. Wishful thinking, I'm sure...

Tongue Piercing Used To Control Wheelchair
The tongue is a strong muscle that plays a role in our ability to speak and digest (and taste) food. But for paralyzed individuals, the tongue could also be the key to gaining some mobility. Researchers at Northwestern University, the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, and the Shepherd Center in Atlanta have launched a clinical trial of a tongue drive system for wheelchairs. The system is based on first piercing users' tongues with a magnetic stud. A headset with sensors that can read the magnetic signals emitted from the piercing is worn by the user, who moves their tongue to signal the desired movements of their wheelchair. For example, pointing the tongue to the upper left corner of the mouth will signal the wheelchair to move forward.Read More

• April has been proclaimed as "Child Abuse Prevention Month" in Fredericksburg and Gillespie County by both Mayor Jeryl Hoover and County Judge Mark Stroeher. And today is "Go Blue Day" in the city and county "to show unity to 'Keep Kids Safe'."
• Fredericksburg Garden Club will meet at 2 p.m. today in the sanctuary of Pioneer Museum. A program on "vermiculture" or "vermicomposting," the raising and production of earth worms and their products, will be presented by Patty Zolen, president of the Hill Country Master Gardeners.
An ongoing narcotics investigation and a routine traffic stop resulted in the form of a big marijuana bust, according to Fredericksburg Police Department (FPD) Detective Terry Weed.
The seizure took an estimated $2,500-$3,000 worth of narcotics off the street, Weed said.
FPD Patrolman Cliff Hirl made the traffic stop around 1:30 p.m. on Friday, March 14, and reported he smelled the odor of marijuana as he approached the car.
The odor gave Hirl probable cause to search the vehicle, and he discovered about 128 grams (a little over 4.5 ounces) of marijuana in packaging in the vehicle, Weed said.
Arrested with a charge of "Possession of Marijuana - over four ounces and under five pounds" — which is a state jail felony — was Saul Johnathan Reza Jr., 27, of 508 Deer Creek in Fredericksburg, Weed said.
A chance for the public to get up-close looks at a variety of aircraft will be offered Saturday, April 5, during "Airport Day."
Hosting the free event, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Gillespie County Airport, will be the local Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 1088.
Expected to be on hand for the day will be several military-type planes, such as the Bird Dogs, flying in formation. In addition, a recently restored bi-wing Stearman will be on display.
A group of six Bonanzas will fly in formation at the beginning of the event and again around noon. Vintage planes and experimental aircraft will also make fly-overs throughout the day.
All types of general aviation crafts owned by local pilots (including bi-planes, high- and low-wing aircraft, vintage planes and some military vehicles) will available for viewing.
The Civil Air Patrol will have one of its planes on display, as well as provide representatives who will discuss the CAP.
This trio of riders from Austin were some of the more than 1,500 cyclists in Gillespie County last weekend for the LBJ 100, which marked its largest ever field, organizers said. Routes of 10 to 85 miles challenged bicyclists from all over the nation, who cruised in and out of the LBJ National Historical Park, and in front of the "Texas White House," the late president's former residence. See more photos on page C1 of the April 2, 2014 issue of the Standard. — Standard-Radio Post/Ken Esten Cooke
In contrast to the leisurely pace of an estimated 1,500 riders taking part in the LBJ 100 this past weekend, a competitive race will draw nearly 500 cyclists back here this Saturday, April 5, for the "Tour de France"-styled Texas Gran Fondo.
Drawing Category 1 national level cyclists from around the globe for the first race of its kind in the Lone Star State, the event is scheduled to start and finish in front of the Fredericksburg Middle School campus on Travis Street.
Texas Gran Fondo will feature routes of 36 miles (which starts at 8:10 a.m.,) 65 miles (which starts at 8:05 a.m.) and 100 miles (which starts at 8 a.m.) for competing cyclists coming from as far away as Puerto Rico, Canada, Colombia, Germany, Italy, France and the Ukraine. (For route details and maps, visit www.texasgranfondo.com.)
A PLAQUE was given to Royce and Karen Herbort of Doss for being awarded the Conservation Rancher Award. The award honors those who work with the Soil and Water Conservation District and the Natural Resources Conservation Service to serve as good stewards of their land. — Standard-Radio Post/Ken Esten Cooke
Two longtime ranching families in Gillespie County were honored last Wednesday at the Gillespie County Soil and Water Conservation District's annual Conservation Awards Program held at the Gillespie County Extension Building.
The Pioneer in Agriculture Award went to Harold and Joanne Kusenberger, lifelong Gillespie County residents.
The couple went to school in Stonewall and grew up as conservationists, as both their fathers served on the Gillespie County Soil and Water Conservation District as directors.
Their conservation practices include deferred grazing, contour farming and pasture and rangeland management. The Kusenbergers' 1,000-plus-acre ranch is rangeland with some crops of oats, wheat and milo, and they stock sheep, goats and cattle.

Mindoro Resources, through its majority owned, Australia-based unit Red Mountain Mining Ltd., is raising up to $2.6 million to fund exploration activities in the Batangas project.
The exercise, announced last May 15, involves a rights issue concerning existing shareholders who want to provide the needed funds by subscribing to additional shares. Red Mountain is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
"We are looking forward to completing the current rights issue then commencing drilling to test these exciting, near-surface, high-grade gold targets," Red Mountain managing director Jon Dugdale said in a statement.
Two of the five planned drill holes are for Pica, where previous results "included strong gold and silver grades associated with the multiple stacked veins."
Samples from Pica at five meters below the surface indicated 4.28 grams of gold a ton of material and, at 22.4 meters deep, 15.75 grams of silver a ton.
Three planned drill holes are for the Japanese Tunnel, where previous results indicated 10.43 grams of gold a ton at 5 meters deep.

NHK board member lauds ritual suicide of high-profile right-winger
Published on Feb 5, 2014 2:59 PM
TOKYO (AFP) - A woman picked last year by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for NHK's management board has praised the ritual suicide of a high-profile right-winger, saying his self-sacrifice made Japan's emperor a living God.
In an essay distributed in October, a month before her appointment at NHK, Dr Michiko Hasegawa praised Mr Shusuke Nomura, an extreme nationalist who committed ritual suicide in the offices of the liberal Asahi newspaper in 1993 in protest at its mockery of his right-wing group.
Since at least feudal times, suicide has been seen as a way of preserving honour in Japan. Famously, right-wing author Yukio Mishima disembowelled himself after a failed coup attempt.
"It is only to God human beings can offer their own lives," she wrote in the document, which has been posted online and was reported in Wednesday's edition of the Mainichi Shimbun.

Burglars struck at three houses in Hayathnagar on city outskirts in the early hours of Wednesday, within 24 hours of Cyberabad Police Commissioner Ch. Dwaraka Thirumala Rao visiting the local police station and cautioning them to take measures to check burglaries.
The offenders first broke into the house of a transport businessman Ravi at Raja Rajeshwara Colony and took away silver ornaments weighing 450 grams. While Ravi went to Yadagirigutta and stayed back for the night there, his wife was away at their relatives' house attending a function.
The gang of thieves next targeted another locked house in adjacent RTC colony. The house owner B. Anjaneyulu, a real estate businessman, and his family members went out on personal work. The burglars collected silver jewellery and articles weighing 350 grams and entered the first floor portion of another house a few hundred yards away in the same colony.
The house owner Srinivasa Murthy, priest of Hanuman temple at White House in Saroornagar, his wife and son were asleep on the ground floor portion. The burglars made off with Rs. 2.5 lakh, 230 grams of gold ornaments and two kilos of silver jewellery and articles from the house.

Verne Citadel
Verne Citadel is a Victorian citadel on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. Located on the highest point of Portland, Verne Hill, it sits in a commanding position overlooking Portland Harbour. The summit of the hill was naturally inaccessible from the North and East sides, and a large ditch was dug out to isolate it from other sides. The Verne stands 500 ft high. The tip of the Verne Hill, where the citadel is now based, was once a Roman station and fort.
The citadel was designed by Captain Crosman R.E. and built by convicts from HM Prison Portland together with civilian contractors, (including Jay and Co.), and the Royal Engineers between 1860 and 1881. The 56 acre fortress was first planned in 1857, and designed for 1000 troops, and gun emplacements were built facing seawards on three sides. The citadel was a part of major defensive works built to defend the new Portland Harbour and its approaches. At the same time construction on the Nothe Fort across at Weymouth had commenced too. Though the Verne Citadel was the much larger of the two, both forts were in advantageous positions to protect the harbour from both ends. In addition to this, conquering the four-mile gap across the harbour, two forts were built on the far ends of the initial two breakwater arms. The inner breakwater's was Inner Pierhead Fort, while the outer breakwater held the bigger Portland Breakwater Fort. The citadel, along with other forts and gun batteries in the area, and the breakwater itself, was one of Victorian Britain's greatest government-funded engineering projects.[1]
Initially the government had to purchase Verne Hill from the Crown Estate, which was met with outcry from local civilians. In order to built the citadel, Verne Hill had to be reshaped, and this was greatly helped by the quarrying of stone from the area, for the breakwater works. The physical evidence of Verne Hill's ancient history was revealed during excavations, with the discovery of Phoenician gold coins, ancient British weapons, Roman pottery and human/animal bones. Due to restrictions, many were not saved, but largely destroyed. Having laid the foundation stone of the breakwater in 1849, Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, began making frequent visits to Portland to inspect the construction of both the citadel and harbour breakwaters.[2]
The first batch of heavy-calibre guns arrived in November 1861, and by this time work had also finished on the 50 arches of the casemated barracks. When the project reached two years of construction work, three million convict-made bricks had been laid by 180 men. The large scale of work on the fortress would continue over the next decade, and by 1863, over 700 men were contracted to work on it. The citadel was designed to accommodate two entrances - one situated north and one south. The arched North Entrance was the main, overlooking Portland Harbour, and was defended with a portcullis, while the South Gate was accessible via a drawbridge which spanned across the 70 ft deep moat. The vast fortress included casemated barracks, redoubt and open batteries. Within the citadel a number of state-of-the-art buildings were erected, including a large military hospital, school, gymnasium, racquet courts, officers' quarters, and a grand residence for the Commanding Officer. The 1882 mess room quickly gained the reputation of being the finest of its kind in England, however it was soon demolished when it was realised that the canteen was too close to the powder store.[3]
The citadel was extended during the 1900s as a result of the Royal Commission, ending up with 8 RML guns with calibres up to 12.5". In 1888 the permanent armament consisted of 9 fixed and 10 mobile artillery pieces. From 1903 the citadel was used as an infantry barracks and the guns were removed in 1906. However the emplacements remain today. Many different regiments of the line served at the Verne. They are listed on a tablet in St. Peter's Church which was built by convicts between 1870-72 for soldiers stationed at the citadel. During the First World War the citadel was used as a heavy anti-aircraft battery and armed with a 6-pounder Hotchkiss gun and a 1-pounder heavy anti-aircraft gun.[4] This was not the only role for the fort, as it became a host for various home regiments. Later into the war 2000 men of the Australian and New Zealand forces were based there. The military hospital proved to be a major centre for the aid of wounded soldiers sent back from France. The hospital was consistently kept busy treating the wounded throughout the war.[5]
The citadel marks the site of a Roman station, and in 1936 workmen discovered an ammunition dump consisting of some 2000 sling stones the size of cricket balls, dating from this period.[6] After 1937 the Verne became primarily used as an infantry training centre. During the Second World War it resumed a similar role as to World War I, as a heavy anti-aircraft battery, and it mounted four 3.7-inch HAA guns.[7] For a short while after World War II, the Verne was used to train newly conscripted recruits of the corps of the Royal Engineers, who would be the last military personnel at the citadel, and these left in 1948. The moat was used for training in the use of explosives during this time. When the citadel was declared redundant for military use at this time, the citadel was left abandoned with the potential of becoming a tourist attraction, similar to Weymouth's Nothe Fort which later became a major tourist attraction and museum. However this never materialised. For a brief period, with the Verne now unoccupied, youngsters were free to explore the citadel.[8]
In 1948 a circulating rumour had built-up that the citadel was to become a prison. The government soon confirmed this, and the citadel was set to become a training centre for 200 'Star Class' prisoners. A strong protest followed, however this did not deter the plans, and the following year saw the opening of the second prison on the island.[9] With the Verne handed over to the then prison commission, an advance party of 20 prisoners arrived on 1 February 1949. The prison largely occupied the southern part of the citadel. Since becoming established the interior of the prison has been substantially rebuilt by prison labour, and the modern prison itself, a Category C prison for adult males, gained a considerable training programme for its prisoners who were serving either medium and long term sentences, including life sentences.[10] Although some of the original Victorian features would be lost during conversion work, the surviving features would end up becoming designated as Ancient Monuments.
Allowing a form of public access for the first time, in November 2011, the prison service, opened a cafe in an old officer's mess building within the citadel. The Jailhouse Cafe continues to operate to date, offering experience to prisoners in attempts to reduce reoffending.[11] On 4 September 2013, the Ministry of Justice announced the proposal to convert the prison into an immigration removal centre for 600 detainees awaiting deportation.[12] The prison closed in November 2013, and various work was carried out until the immigration removal centre opened in February 2014.
In September 2014, as part of the B-Side multimedia arts festival based on the island, a small southern section of the citadel was opened to the public. The artist Simon Ryder, who had a year-long residency at IRC The Verne, presented a guided tour of his sound, film and sculpture installation at the Verne. The tour started through the southern entrance, and followed a spiral staircase into the casemates overlooking the dry moat. The tour ended within the moat itself.[13][14]
Built from stone taken from local quarrying, Nicodemus Knob, a landmark pillar left as a quarrying relic, marks the extent of how much stone was removed from the main area of quarrying.[15] The East Weare Battery was built 200 feet below the citadel on the east side to protect the Verne, as well as the harbour, and the detention barracks of East Weare Camp were built above the battery circa 1880. Both became Grade II Listed in May 1993.[16][17] The Verne High Angle Battery was built approximately 150 metres south of the citadel's southern entrance. The battery was built as part of Britain's Coastal Defences in 1892, and would be decommissioned in 1906. It became Grade II Listed in May 1993 too.[18]
Grade listed features[edit]
Various features of the Citadel have since become Grade Listed, and the entire fortress itself has become a scheduled monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 as it appears to the Secretary of State to be of national importance. This includes the Verne High Angle Battery too.[19] In recent years the Citadel has been listed on English Heritage's Risk Register, with the condition being described as "generally satisfactory but with significant localised problems". The main vulnerability aspect of the site is deterioration, and being in need of management, although it has been noted that the overall condition is continuing to improve.[20]
Both the North and South Entrances are Grade II* Listed, and have been since May 1993.[21][22] These remain popular attractions of the prison. The north entrance is dated 1880, possibly from the office of Capt. E Crossman, RE, general designer of The Citadel. It has a bold elliptical moulded arch. The southern, gatehouse entrance is dated 1881, and again possibly from office of Capt. E Crossman RE.[23]
The south west and south east castmates of the citadel also became Grade II* Listed in May 1993.[24] These military casemates date from around 1860, and also probably designed by Capt. W. Crossman, RE. There are two long runs and one shorter run of continuous casemates to the south-west and south-east edge of the Citadel enclosure. The structure is backed by high earth mounds, standing above the very deep surrounding ditches, so that only one face is exposed; the short south casemate. Each casemate has a deep, narrow compartment enclosed and vaulted in Portland stone. This remarkable run of structures enclosing the main central area of The Citadel is vigorously detailed, and on a characteristically grand scale, lying above the very deep surrounding Ditches, and modelling the landscape in views from many parts of the Island.[25]
The railings at the approach to the north entrance are set to the road edge, and date from around 1880. They are made of cast iron, and have circa 130 metres length of railing on the east side of the approach road to the north entrance. This is a well-maintained run of robust railing forming part of the original construction at The Verne. They became Grade II Listed in May 1993.[26] The prison's reception centre also became Grade II Listed in May 1993. It dates from circa 1865, possibly by Capt. W. Crossman RE. It is designed in the style characteristic of the Citadel in the late 19th century, with excellent late 20th century replacement sashes worked by prisoners here.[27]
In September 1978, five features of the citadel became Grade II Listed. The prison's blacksmith's shop, once a racquets court, dates around 1875, and like many other buildings within the citadel, is a very vigorously detailed building from the RE office.[28] The prison chapel, formerly an officers' mess, dates around 1865. The back of building remains plain, after some repairs following Second World War bomb damage. The interior remains much modified, and the detail is clearly from the same hand as Officers' Block B; from remaining foundation walls to the north it would seem that a U-plan block was originally intended, but there is not evidence of further progress.[29] The officer's block B was once accommodation for military officers, but later became part of prison accommodation. It dates from 1865 too, and is flanked east and west by blast bunkers, which is all presented with great vigour, but is also a controlled design.[30] The prison gymnasium dates from 1865, and is a single-storey rectangular building. It is another vigorously detailed building typical of RE work at The Verne.[31] Finally the detached Governor's house was built circa 1870, by Col. Cox, RE, with an enclosed service yard to the north. It has a very mannered design in an exposed position near the south-east sally port to the fortress. At the time of English Heritage's survey in May 1991, the house was unoccupied.[32]

Annapolis Gemini Quality vs. Hunter Gemini Quality

Thanks for the feedback so far...
I'm really looking at buying a new Gemini and not really concerned that the boat is "built to a price point" since that is really what makes this a compelling buy for me. We simply cannot afford a new PDQ or similar and buying a much later model PDQ (or similar) would make that boat a mid-90's which introduces problems of it's own.
I am interested in any design changes that Hunter may be implementing. Your information on the non-US sourced parts combined with comments by Perf. Cruising that one of the reasons they partnered with Hunter was to "assist in volume buying" leads me to conclude that the Gem will soon be equipped with the same components as the Hunter - as soon as the existing stock of the old components is used up. IIRC New Hunters use the same components as much more expensive boats.
I think it was a wise choice for Performance Cruising to partner with Hunter from a business standpoint and I am hoping a year from now, Hunter will be able to bring some of their expertise to bear and improve on some of the process engineering.

Letters: Sales-tax hike/reform plan draws gripes
I cannot think of one business or store where I shop that I cannot also find in Poway, Escondido or San Marcos. Should the proposed San Diego sales tax increase pass, the city will not get it from me, but instead, it will no longer get the sales tax I now pay as well. I hope most other San Diegans feel the same.

I noticed the implied threat by the mayor to continue cutting police and fire unless the public OKs the sales tax increase ("Sales tax proposal to go on fall ballot | Half-cent increase tied to S.D. reforms," Aug. 5). I wonder when he's going to take a look at Mount Hope, the cemetery the city manages at an operating loss. Or, closer to home, when is he going to reduce the number of "spokespeople" on his staff?

Even with the caveat of reforms, an increase in our sales tax disturbs me. Taxing this way impacts the poorest in our community and it also will end up decreasing actual sales as more of each sales dollar goes to taxes and not to product.
I would much prefer to see sales taxes increased on products such as liquor, tobacco products and soft/energy/non-juice drinks that are unnecessary – wants, not needs. Taxing these products will supply our city's revenue stream from those with more disposable income while protecting the poor.

No doubt the article "Making sense of the proposed sales tax increase" (Aug. 2) will encourage the electorate to approve an increase in the San Diego sales tax rate. It is easy to assume that was the reason for publishing the article in the first place.
The article would have better served the readers had it informed them of sales tax rates throughout the nation (which are almost universally lower) rather than just those California cities with rates which are higher.

On July 23, 2006, The San Diego Union-Tribune ran an article concerning outsourcing. Here is a quote from the article:
"Now the city of San Diego, which is plagued by talk of bankruptcy, is looking to save money by outsourcing jobs. Within weeks of taking office in December, Mayor Jerry Sanders formed a panel to figure out which city services could be put out to bid."
Four years later our elected officials say that if we vote a sales tax increase, they will do the following: 1) Consider outsourcing; 2) Work to reduce employee benefits.
The council claims that without a sales tax increase more city services will have to be reduced and therefore our safety and security will be at risk.
How can the City Council even consider asking us to increase sales tax, when over the last four years members have done virtually nothing to solve the financial problems of our city?
Does the word extortion come to mind?

Are San Diego's taxpayers stupid? Absolutely. Why have we have allowed our elected public officials to bankrupt our city by wasting our scarce tax revenues to fund extravagant, unsustainable public employee pensions, allowing public employees to retire at 50 with almost 100 percent of their highest salary for life? Why have we have subsidized the billionaire Spanos family with hundreds of millions of dollars to keep his Chargers and his millionaire players here? Why have we allowed our elected public officials to fund extravagant and unnecessary projects like a new library and city hall, and possibly a new stadium, while basic services like police, fire, street, water and sewer maintenance are grossly neglected? Their solution to our huge deficit is to raise taxes and fees, including imposing a "temporary" sales tax. Why haven't our elected officials been recalled, as a result of their gross mismanagement of our tax revenues? Because we are stupid, and our elected officials know it.
