TCHC CEO plunged back into scandal with scathing ombudsman report
"This is a shocking story about the abject failure of leadership from the top," ombudsman Fiona Crean writes in the report released Tuesday.

In a scathing report that threatens the job of Toronto Community Housing Corp. chief executive Gene Jones, the city ombudsman says Jones and other senior TCHC executives ignored hiring rules and conflicts of interest, gave managers unjustified raises, fired people recklessly and impulsively, and ran the city-owned landlord "as though it was their own personal fiefdom."
"This is a shocking story about the abject failure of leadership from the top. The CEO set the tone, describing his every move as 'his prerogative.' Poor management followed," ombudsman Fiona Crean wrote in the report released on Tuesday.
Crean chronicled a long list of alleged violations by Jones, whom she called "irresponsible," and the vice-president of human resources, Anand Maharaj. She also found that the board of directors, which includes four city councillors, failed to adequately oversee the managers who had run "amok." And she said the apparent abuses might have cost the city money.
"Some wage levels were arbitrarily determined. It is unacceptable for a public organization to determine salaries without an evaluation of the responsibilities and qualifications of the position," she wrote. "This has not only caused an inequity at TCH between employees with similar jobs, but it could very well have wasted taxpayers' dollars."
After a four hour emergency meeting, where board members heard directly from Crean, Jones and other executive leaders, chair Bud Purves said "the board acknowledges the need to address these issues."
"We made progress but agreed that more time is needed to further study and consider the report." The board will therefore resume its discussion Friday at 8 a.m. Purves will update media after on status of boards deliberations. He left without taking questions and Jones was nowhere to be seen.
The Crean report comes only two months after he was publicly disciplined after a separate board-commissioned investigation. She describes problems more extensive than the spending and procurement violations that prompted Mayor Rob Ford to force the firing of then-chief executive Keiko Nakamura in 2011.
Jones enjoys the strong backing of Ford, who said this weekend that he would support Jones no matter what the report said — and whose campaign literature claims he has restored "public faith" in the TCHC. Mayoral challengers seized on the report to bolster their criticism of Ford's leadership.
"The mayor has repeatedly claimed that he has personally addressed mismanagement at our social housing provider. This report provides clear evidence that Mayor Rob Ford's claims are not true," Karen Stintz said in a statement.
"There are obvious problems with oversight and structure. These mirror many of the problems our city has seen under Rob Ford, who also sees rules as annoyances," Olivia Chow said in a statement. "He, in fact, tried to remove the ombudsman's oversight of city hall."
Jones declined immediate comment. In a written response to the report, the TCHC said it has worked to improve its human resources practices. But it said it accepts Crean's findings and will work "swiftly" to implement her recommendations.
"During a sustained period of organizational change there have been several instances when management inconsistently applied or ignored the company's policies and procedures for hiring, promotions and terminations. Management acknowledges that its actions fell short of the high standard of transparency, equity, fairness and respect that Toronto Community Housing, as a public sector employer, must meet," the TCHC said in the statement.
Among other things, Crean found:
"The practice of hiring and promoting candidates to positions for which they did not compete is unreasonable and contrary to policy," Crean wrote.

I have just taken delivery of my Thorogood Unisex boots and I wanted to tell you how satisfied I am with them. I haven't used them in the in the snow yet but I feel certain they will work out fine. They are just the type of footwear I've been looking for. They have saved me from having to pay hundreds of dollars for foul weather boots and they are very convent to store and use. If I may....some advice: The catalog description makes no mention of the fact that they are overshoes. That's the reason I had to exchange them for size. Had I known they were overshoes I would have ordered the correct size to start with. Also, having to become a member to order be able to track my order was not made known to me until I filed a complaint. I must say that the exchange process was smooth and easy. Now that I know how to navigate the website I'll probably be looking to order from you in the future. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter."

Premier Sports Performance of the Week – Hemel Stags
Hemel coach Troy Perkins hailed his side after they secured a 26-8 win at London Skolars in their first ever Championship One fixture.
Perkins said: "Every player played their part. We played with a lot of energy, our line speed was good, and I think the Skolars were a bit shell-shocked.
"We had seven players aged 20 or under, so it's great to start so well. You only ever get one chance to win your first Championship One game, and it was really important in terms of setting the tone for the rest of the season.
"However, one game doesn't make a season – we'll back to reality at training on Tuesday night."
Premier Sports Try of the Week – Ryan Fieldhouse (Halifax v Dewsbury Rams)
Halifax coach Karl Harrison said his players deserve plenty of credit for Ryan Fieldhouse's superbly worked second-half try against Dewsbury Rams during their 60-6 win.
Harrison: "It was a set play that the players had been practicing themselves in training for the previous two weeks.
"There were bodies in motion everywhere, Paul Handforth came out of the ruck, and with several decoys, he hit Ryan Fieldhouse from behind him, and he scored by the posts from 20 metres out.
"I've watched it several times on video since – it was a very well-worked try that reminded me of something Deryck Fox did back in 1986."

While two-way trade has increased substantially since the agreement was signed between New Zealand and China eight years ago, many New Zealand businesses still face barriers in the Chinese market.

Reward Landscape and Aquatic Herbicide 1 Gal. L00275$113.97
Aquatic weeds, whether floating, submerged, or emergent, can quickly become overgrown in any pond, lake, reservoir, or even drainage ditch. At the first signs of weed growth, turn to fast-acting Reward. The broadest-spectrum formula available, Reward is particularly effective against duckweed, pondweeds, naiads, water milfoil, and coontail. Upon application, this contact herbicide is absorbed into plants in a mater of minutes. Not only does this immediately start the treatment process, but it also ensures that the concentrate quickly dissipates from the water, thus posing minimal risk to the surrounding environment and wildlife. When using Reward, you can be confident that you will not be contaminating groundwater or increasing toxicity levels in your pond's fish species.
Because it is a contact herbicide, it is most effective when applied to active growth. When treating duckweed, using in conjunction with a non-ionic surfactant is recommended. Reward's potent concentrated formula means low use rates. Application rates vary from 1 to 2 gallons per surface acre depending upon water depth and type of weed being treated.
Best of all, there are minimal water restrictions following treatment. Following the application of Reward, user should wait 1 day for livestock consumption, 1-3 days for human consumption, 5 days for irrigating food crops, and 1-3 days for other irrigation purposes. See manufacturer's label for specifics.
Key Features:
- 1 gallon container
- 37.3% Diquat dibromide
- Non-selective concentrate
- Effective against various aquatic weeds, including duckweed, pondweeds, naiads, water milfoil, and coontail
- Environmentally-friendly
- Contact herbicide; for best results, apply to active plants

Exelente, thanks:)*****
Great Doctor! Way better than going to an Orthopedic! Highly recommend him! Told me all the info that is going on with my foot and examine to make sure where is the pain coming from. Made me a temporary cast and works better than Dr shols!
Very cool doctor and knows his stuff! Makes the visit very comfortable and takes pride in his work and patients.
Appeared very knowledgeable.
very professional.
Super knowledgable about orthotics.
Friendly, knowledgable, and reliable every time I've been in the office.
This time, when I went to see Dr. Fishman, he was wonderful. He was kind, prompt, and took great care with me. He was the kind of doctor I would definitely see again.
I highly recommen him, great doctor.
Dr Fishman is the best. Compassionate,smart& kind. He had some great suggestions for after care and took care of the problem in his office Id highly recommend Dr.Fishman.
Caring and extremely helpful!
He's TOP-NOTCH!!! he's witty, knowleadgable, honest (no b.s.) gentle, kind. He has the ability to relate, emphatize, and communicate with his patients (he answered all of my questions). He cares about my wallet as much as he cares about my feet! I was ready to try the Laser Toenail Treatment which can be very costly. But instead he suggested to send a sample of my toenail/skin to the lab first to identify what is really happening with my toes and therefore move forward. I'm still waiting for the test results, but if it comes back negative that means no Laser Treatment, and that will make me very happy :) !!! He wants me back in to check on my progress, he seems really committed to helping my toes issue. He is now my go-to guy for my feet. What an experience. If you or your family need a Podiatrist, look no further. P.S. 15 minutes later, Rite-Aid was ready with my Rx. Life is good when you have a good Doc.
He and his staff are very friendly. He was very thorough and explained everything.

Really great mix of nuts, seeds and dried fruit!
Posted by 5549571251250451327 on Apr 04, 2016
This mix is a very tasty mix indeed! With ingredients like sour cherries, sweet raisins and salty almonds, this mix is very tasty and delicious. However, it does say that it is "very low on sodium" but I think the almonds are quite salty for that description.... It does not bother me, though. Very nice mix and good price for the amount. Will buy again

Tokyo String Quartet holds bows high on final recording: album review
Disbanding group takes on favourite Czech composers Antonin Dvorák and Bedrich Smetana
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Tokyo String Quartet
Dvorák: Quartet No. 12, Smetana: Quartet No. 1 (Harmonia Mundi)
The Tokyo String Quartet is disbanding this summer, just short of the 45th anniversary of its founding, proudly leaving behind about four-dozen recordings from the core of Western chamber music. For their last album, violinists (Canadian) Martin Beaver and Kikuei Ikeda, violist Kazuhide Isomura and cellist Clive Greensmith, take us on an intensely personal, 53-minute, late-19th century journey with two favourite Czech composers: Antonin Dvorák (1841-1904) and Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884). The younger composer is represented by his "American" String Quartet No. 12; the older by his String Quartet No. 1, subtitled "From My Life." The combination of force and quiet restraint, powerful passion and surreal stillness that the Tokyo brings to this late-Romantic music is gorgeous. All four instruments are perfectly balanced, each player knowing exactly when to come to the fore and when to retreat into the background. These four men may have been around the world umpteen times, but they always make their music sound fresh and spontaneous. Aside from a couple of minor problems with intonation in the Smetana Quartet, the Tokyo can hold their bows high as they make the most graceful of exits. You can hear them live for the last time at the Jane Mallett Theatre on Thursday night, and at a special benefit concert for Music Toronto on Friday.

I am pleased with the combined examples of overload, 'use parent' (as opposed to 'our @ISA =....') and a simple yet interesting application.
I think this is a great, minimalist way to understand OO, compared with a big black-boxish and black-magical Moose.
A functional example of solving the same problem, suggested by lostjimmy, would be valuable for demonstrating a different approach.
Good work GF. btw, I'm impressed by your C.V. Hope any friends/family in Christchurch are okay.

Chicken satay appetizer is awesome. Only place in the area to get a pretty good bowl of Pho. The broth is a little bit murky, but the flavor is there and everything else I've had there has been good!
Very delicious, good portion size. Food can be slightly oilier sometimes. Pho is amazing if they don't fill put so much rice noodles in it. Pad Thai and Bun are also delicious. One of my favorites.
Run by the same super nice couple who took over Oasis a few years ago. Good food & service. Support local business!
The food tastes great! They just added Drunken Noodles to the menu and it's amazing.

Basically I want to refresh a child form when focus is changed on parent form.
Could anyone give leads to achieve that?
Have a look on Tutorial Form Dynalink.
The easy way involves no code at all, provided the table in the child form have a relation to the table in the parent form. A record change in the parent form notifies the child form, making it call the linkActive method which then calls the executeQuery method on the child table datasource.

Obama will visit Flint, Michigan on Wednesday to meet with residents who've lived with contaminated water.
SEAL Team Six, the same team that killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan last year, raided a Somali pirate camp Wednesday to rescue an American woman and Danish man being held hostage.
Both are aid workers who had been kidnapped by the pirates last October. Nine pirates were killed in a firefight during Wednesday's attack, and another five were taken as prisoners.
The raid occurred around 2 a.m. Somali time, and President Obama had been notified of its success shortly before he gave last night's State of the Union speech to Congress.

Mohali Test: Shikhar Dhawan creates history as India take firm grip at 283/0 Last Updated : 16 Mar 2013 05:17:07 PM IST An elated Shikhar Dhawan raises his bat after scoring half-century on his debut Test
An awe-inspiring Shikhar Dhawan made the day his own by bludgeoning his way to an unbeaten 168-ball 185 -- the fastest-ever Test century by a debutant, as a dominant India left Australia bruised and battered in the third match of the series here at PCA ground in Mohali on Saturday.
India vs Australia: Live scorecard
The hosts finished the day on a commanding 283 for no loss with Murali Vijay giving Dhawan company on a well-made 83 off 181 deliveries after Australia were bowled out for a competitive 408 in the first session.
The 27-year-old Dhawan was on a record-breaking spree as he raced to his century off a mere 85 balls, and was going strong, when the stumps were drawn on the third day of the penultimate Test, with the hosts still trailing by 125 runs.
The Delhi batsman surpassed the record of earlier fastest hundred on debut which was in the name of West Indian Dwayne Smith who reached his century in 93 balls in the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town in January 2004.
Dhwan hit 21 fours while spending 115 minutes in the middle, helping India score 153 runs in the 28 overs bowled in the second session of play.
Murali Vijay played his part in the first-wicket big century partnership, contributing an unbeaten 42 off 85 balls with the help of four fours and two sixes.
Interestingly, Dhawan raced into the 90s without hitting a single ball in the air. What makes his effort even more praiseworthy is that he maintained a strike-rate of over hundred almost all through his innings. It was a staggering 117.64 when Dhawan got to the three-figure mark.
Earlier, one run was all that separated Mitchell Starc from becoming the first number nine Australian batsman to notch up a century in India, as the visitors posted a competitive 408 all out in the third and penultimate Test here at PCA ground in Mohali on Saturday.
Though he missed out on the hundred by a whisker, Starc, along with Steven Smith (92), did enough to frustrate the Indians, helping Australia add 135 runs in the first session of play before Ravichandran Ashwin trapped last-man Xavier Doherty (5).
The Indians scored three runs from the one over they faced before lunch with Murali Vijay scoring all of them and Shikhar Dhawan yet to open his account.
Starc was caught-behind on 99 by Mahendra Singh Dhoni off Ishant Sharma, which also dashed his hopes of becoming the first Australian in 66 years to score a century while batting at number nine.
Another record tumbled on the day was Starc and Steven Smith's 97-run association for the eighth wicket which surpassed the previous best of 73 between Shane Watson and Brett Lee for this wicket at this ground. Starc was the more aggressive of the two.
Starc smashed 14 fours and faced 144 balls during his 146-minute stay at the crease. The 23-year-old left-hander from New South Wales was equal to the task whether it was about facing pacers or the spinners.
Making a sort of a lucky comeback to the Test squad after more than two years in wilderness, Smith made it count with a career-best score that included 10 boundaries and a six. He occupied the crease for 235 minutes and faced 185 balls.
A well-deserved century in sight, Smith became a victim of a viciously turning delivery from Pragyan Ojha and an equally good work by Indian skipper Dhoni, who stumped the batsman in a flash.
India heaved a sigh of relief, but Australia ensured they consolidate their position with another half-century partnership, for the ninth wicket between Starc and Nathan Lyon, with the former firmly in control of the proceedings.
During the course of their innings, both the batsmen had surpassed their previous best Test scores.
While Smith's previous best effort -- 77 -- had come against Pakistan at Leeds, Starc's top score prior to this match was 68 against South Africa in Perth last year.
The two joined forces after pacer Peter Siddle was trapped in front by left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja with Australia at 251 for seven last evening.
Not just they added important runs, but did so at a fairly quick rate while keeping the Indian bowlers at bay.
Dhoni rotated his bowlers, but Smith and Starc scored runs at a good pace.
Resuming at 273 for seven, both Smith and Starc were at ease while dealing with the ball, which was 104 overs old at the start of the day's play.
Starc made his intentions clear by pulling Ishant Sharma and then flicked Ashwin for another boundary.
After surviving a close lbw shout by Ishant, Smith got into the act driving him through the offside for his first authoritative shot of the day. Starc, meanwhile, played Ishant straight over his head and the ball sped to the fence in one bounce.
The new ball was taken after 108 overs, but it was not the quicker bowlers, but a spinner who gave India the first breakthrough of the day.
Having replaced Aswhin from the pavilion end, Ojha got one to turn and bounce sharply, and Dhoni completed a smart stumping with Smith's back foot on the line.
For India, Ishnat and Ravindra Jadeja finished with three wickets each, while Ashwin and Ojha had two apiece.

uhhhhmmmm, i just noticed my belly has gotten hairy (wierd i know) ugghhh wtf haha is this pregnancy related? And are any of you ladies experiencing this?? Should i shave it or will it just grow back 10x longer and darker??
Posted 11/12/2013
Got it here. No it will not grow back thicker or darker, that is 100% an old wives tale. The reason people say that is because hair naturally tappers and when you shave you blunt off the hair so it's a optical illusion that it's thicker and darker. Now I wouldn't shave it just because who wants stubbly hair on their belly and then it may itch like crazy.
Posted 11/12/2013
Got this as well. Mine isnt bad yet but its getting there. I had a few hairs grow in years ago that I tried to shave off..and like 3 more would grow back along with those few..since I've stopped shaving them..haven't noticed any new ones til now. I have 3 or 4 that grow in really dark and coarse..I pluk them out with tweezers.

Ok i wont shave it, do u know if it will go away after giving birth?

I wouldn't shave it either. I have waxed it with wax meant for sensitive skin and that worked well or just tweeze it out.
Posted 11/12/2013
I shave mine. I actually shaved mine before I was pregnant. I'm very anti body hair. I shave everything below the neck. I am however, noticing a growth in peach fuzz on my chin and I'm not about to shave my face! I'm thinking waxing??
Posted 11/12/2013
I shaved my belly yesterday - it was getting creepy long and starting to turn dark - no thanks! I also shave my arms and since that doesn't produce stubble I figured it would be similar on the belly - I shave so much every day - what's one more thing haha - :)
Posted 11/12/2013
I have it, too, and yes, it goes away a few months after giving birth. It's hormonal. I'm not too worried about it, because mine is blonde and almost invisible.

I'm working on an Eclipse plugin (a builder) and I'd like to use a library that isn't threadsafe. Of course, I'd like to run code from that library in parallel. Is there a standard way for an Eclipse plugin to run code in a new sub-jvm (cross-platform; I don't want to maintain windows/mac/linux/... versions)? I'm perfectly happy to say that the memory requirements for this feature will be large (multiple gig is fine).
I would recommend using a private launch configuration. We do this extensively in Grails-IDE. I'd recommend that you have a look at the source code. Our infrastructure may be more than you need, but it can get you the idea.
You just create a launch configuration for the external process and launch it. A good place to look at what we do is here:
If you have a library that is not thread safe, then you need to ensure that the library is used with proper synchronization to avoid any problems. One way, that might suit you, is that you ensure that all utilization of that library happens in a single thread. Another approach which might be more tedious in your case is that all methods that utilize the library are synchronized. In cases similar to yours I have always preferred the former.
You can create a special thread that would be responsible for all operations that need your library. Depending on your need you can either have all calls asynchronous or synchronous, but you will need to implement some kind of call-back mechanism to get results. A convenient way to achieve this is to use the

Air shows offer cheap thrills
Attendance up as families limit spending
LOS ANGELES – Recession-weary families looking for affordable entertainment are increasingly turning to air shows as a source of cheap thrills, served up with a dollop of red, white and blue.
While theme parks and other family entertainment venues struggle for business in the slumping economy, attendance at air shows is up substantially in 2009 – by double-digit percentages at some venues.
And it's not hard to see why. Getting two adults and two sub-10-year-olds through the gate at Disneyland for a day costs $256 without a discount coupon.
Getting the same group into the day-long air show at California's El Centro Naval Air Facility in March – which featured a performance by the Blue Angels, the rock stars of the air show world – would have cost, well, nothing. Air shows at military bases, which account for about one-third of the air shows that will be staged in North America this year, don't charge admission, and the parking is usually free.
Even shows that charge admission – such as the Watsonville Fly-In & Air Show north of Monterey, Calif., this weekend – are a relative bargain. The industry's average adult ticket price is $12.
"Compared to other types of entertainment, air shows still represent a good value," said Bill Hamilton, general manager of the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, Calif., where paid attendance at the annual air show last weekend was 20,000, up 35 percent over the year before.
The International Council of Air Shows, the industry's trade group, estimates that 15 million people will attend air shows in North America this year, up from the typical annual attendance of 10 million to 12 million. The group says it saw the same pattern during the recessions of the early 1980s and early '90s.
Besides being relatively inexpensive, air shows also have the advantage of ubiquity. With so many staged each year, most families can find one within reasonable driving time of home.
"People are trading down, and they're trading local, and it just makes sense given this economy that that would happen," said Carl Winston, director of San Diego State University's hospitality and tourism management program.
He said it's another reflection of the recession-induced "staycation" trend – the tendency for families to spend their vacations close to home, or even at home, to save money during hard times.
Air shows aren't for folks seeking a contemplative getaway. With thunderous jet flybys, outrageous aerial stunts and a heavy dose of pyrotechnics, they're as subtle as a sonic boom on a quiet Sunday afternoon.
"Like everything else in the entertainment world, air shows have evolved to meet the increased expectations of the audiences that come to the events," said John Cudahy, president of the air show council. "We're competing with the X Games and wrestling, so the 'wow factor' has gone up considerably."
With their emphasis on military aviation – be it an appearance by the state-of-the-art F-22 Raptor or a simulated dogfight featuring World War II-era fighters – air shows also can appeal to a taxpayer's patriotic side.
"When you watch the Blue Angels fly multimillion-dollar airplanes a foot and a half away from each other, it's hard not to be inspired by that," Cudahy said.

On the campaign trail
Friday, September 10, 2004
A crowd estimated at 26,000 to 30,000 attended the rally for President Bush in Poplar Bluff Monday, more than has attended any similar outdoor event this year.
A light rain didn't dampen the event, which was the kickoff of a two-day, four-stop Missouri campaign swing. Missouri has been designated one of the 17 to 20 battleground (toss-up) states by the Bush and Kerry campaigns. Bush has moved slightly ahead in the polls with just seven plus weeks to go. And Kerry reportedly has reduced his ad expenditures in Missouri. But either one could carry the state. Over 100,000 voter registrations are being generated by the pro-Kerry Act Up America group funded heavily by George Soros.
The Missouri vote will come down to the get-out-the-vote efforts of both parties and the extra push by labor unions that will spend millions of dollars in real or in-kind activities.
Special plaudits to two rally organizers from Poplar Bluff, Bush's Missouri campaign chairman Lloyd Smith and all of the volunteers who were key factors in the problem-free Bush rally.
Incidentally the president's press plane landed at the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport. Three buses awaited the 90 members of the press and camera crews who had to be delighted about the 1 1/2-hour trip to Poplar Bluff and then 1 1/2 hours back for a scheduled 10 p.m. departure of the large jet. No wonder the press is sometimes grumpy.
Roy Temple, veteran Democrat campaign manager from Puxico who headed up campaigns for Mel Carnahan and Jean Carnahan along with the recent election and re-election campaign of Gov. Bob Holden has been hired to manage the Kerry-Edwards campaign in Minnesota.
I'm sure some of his barbed comments turned him from Mr. Inside to Mr. Outside when Holden lost the Democratic nomination fight with Claire McCaskill.
Most of the major statewide candidates will share the stage at the annual Missouri Press Association convention in Springfield, Mo., this weekend. Any candidate below governor or U.S. senator will be limited to just four minutes. I understand the governor and U.S senator candidates will be allotted 45 minutes for a debate and question-and-answer session. This could be a major newsmaker weekend.
Jay Leno and David Letterman's late-night comedy writers (Leno obviously has a bigger team) churn out funny, mostly political one-liners five nights a week. Examples from Leno:
"Arnold is a powerful weapon for the GOP. He appeals to Republicans, Democrats and conservatives -- everybody but film critics."
"Did you see that Yankees-Indians game last night? The Yankees lost 22 to 3. Last time the Yankees got beaten that bad by the Indians it was at Little Big Horn."
"It was so bad, I saw a bunch of Yankees players on rafts going back to Cuba."
"John Kerry's keeping a low profile this week. He said he wanted to get away to someplace where no one would expect to see him. So I guess he showed up at his seat in the Senate. Nobody's going to look for him there."
"Former Vice President Al Gore got a speeding ticket in Oregon last week. Appears he was going nowhere fast."
"Did you see the pictures in the paper today of John Kerry windsurfing? He's in Nantucket this week, windsurfing. Even his hobby depends on which way the wind blows."
Some examples from Letterman:
"The Log Cabin Republicans -- you know who they are. They don't like Hillary Clinton, but they love what she's done with her hair."
"Last night Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke at the convention. This marked the first time a body builder has addressed the convention since, well, Janet Reno."
Cape Girardeau native Jack Oliver was honored during the recent Republican National Convention, as reported in the following St. Louis Post-Dispatch article entitled "Fund-raisers honor the Missouri master."
"In a week when corporations and fund-raisers sponsored exclusive parties to honor top elected leaders, fund-raisers feted one of their own Thursday morning: Jack Oliver, who grew up in the Cape Girardeau and St. Louis area and is a presidential fund-raiser extraordinary.
"Top Republican fund-raisers from California, Florida, Kentucky, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Washington and Missouri -- including the current ambassador to Belgium, Steve Brauer, and Sam Fox of Clayton -- hosted the event at the Ritz-Carlton next to Central Park.
"Oliver, 35, served as President George W. Bush's finance director in his record-breaking 2000 campaign. He now serves as deputy finance chairman for Bush's re-election effort, which burst the record again, with $243 million through July -- and still counting.
"The room at the Ritz was packed. And longtime Oliver friend Annie Presley suspects that Oliver's personal touch is why.
"'He makes everybody feel comfortable about giving away their money,' said Presley, who runs The McKellar Group, a public affairs consulting company out of Kansas City. 'He's just easy and gentle and kind. That's why these people show up to thank him for taking their money.'
"Among the party VIPs at the party were Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman and senior campaign strategist Matthew Dowd.
"Oliver, long rumored to be a potential Missouri gubernatorial candidate, was keeping his Missouri roots close by -- next to his shins, to be precise. He wore black ostrich cowboy boots, his trademark, stamped with the Missouri state seal.
"'My great-great grandmother, Marie Watkins Oliver, designed the Missouri state flag,' said Oliver, who also seemed impressed with the crowd that came out to honor him. 'I was humbled. These are my friends.'"
Gary Rust is chairman of Rust Communications.
