They would definitely need some new engineering for equalization.
...and I would definately need another source of income to afford.

The front corrector on the 12 is some 1 1/2" thick, with deep curves. The only ways to make one is to start with a solid piece of optical glass and generate the deep curves on both sides or slump mold a suitable piece and then anneal it. The latter has the problem of rejects due to a poor anneal, resulting is a high percentage of loss. The former requires a glass blank that is around 2 1/2" by 13" in diameter.
Having looked through one on several different nights, I can also attest to the need for thermal reconciliation to get the best use of one.
This size pushes the limits of practicality on the design. My own design using the 11 1/4" corrector blank suggests the lower limit of weight is around 45 lbs, assuming an aluminum tube machined down, an open cell to reduce weight and to help cool the mirror.

It takes a big, thick hunk of glass and a lot of grinding to produce the deeply curved corrector for a 12-inch Mak. Hang on to your wallets!
It would also be quite heavy.

I think that they are developing one for a government contract. I would expect it to be in the $250,000 to $500,000 range.
In that case, I'd start searching for an A-P 10" Mak or have Matthias Wirth build a 12" MCT for you. Nostalgia apart, you would end up with a more enjoyable and of course affordable scope.
Posted 12 May 2013 - 10:55 AM
During one visit to the Questar facility, I asked Jim Richert about the 12". He said they were slowly working it out. Since their primary income source are government contracts, they only fool with it when they have time. Of the prototypes, he stated they have more work to reduce weight and cost but added, "I could sell forty of these right now, sight unseen. We'll get there."
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Posted 25 May 2013 - 01:13 PM
If I remember correctly, back when they tried to promote them they sold less than a dozen?
Less than a dozen? Wow!
I saw one, "in the flesh," so to speak. Was driving through New Hope, quite by accident and stopped when I saw the Questar buildings. There was a yellow 12" OTA just lying on the carpet. The year? About 1981.

That is just too big to be practical.
I would say 9 or 10" would be more like it.
Apples and Oranges, but I saw detail through a 12" Cave Astrola with reported 10th wave optics I never would have believed possible, it made another members C11 look like "viewing through a dirty window" Simply amazing.
I'd sure love a chance at a Moonless night with Mars at Opposition and Uranus visable. I am one of those guys who seriously study the outer Twins, With ex optics and outstanding seeing conditions there are details to see.
I have 20/15 +2 vision so I was lucky in that department.
Has there been a decision of the 12" Color scheme?
will it be the Yellow prototype I saw?
I'm betting only sub 1% of us in population would spend the money for that instead of other things..
You would need to put it in your Will.

Greetings to all of my fellow track day enthusiasts!
Only 9 weeks to go before the first Waterford Hills Track day. If you haven't finished up those winter modifications, it's time to get moving! Registration will be open in a few weeks. I'll send out an update when and where you'll need to go to sign up.
2013 Open Track schedule
- Sunday, April 21
- Sunday, June 23
- Sunday, August 25
- Sunday, October 13
2013 pricing
Pricing has been set for the 2013 season.
- Pre-Registered/Paid WHRRI Members: $125.00
- Pre-Registered/Paid Non-WHRRI Members: $165.00
- WHRRI at Gate or after deadline: $160
- Non-WHRRI at Gate or after deadline: $200
Autorama is coming up next month. (March 8,9,10) Make sure you stop by and say hi to us at the booth. We usually run a video in the background showing on track action. I'd like to include some of our Track Day footage. If you have any and are willing to let us use it, please contact me so I can get it incorporated into the main video.
This is big news, and I'm excited to finally say that we are now able to put an instructor in the car with you during hot laps! Instructors will be available to ride along with you during the morning sessions to improve your skills. They will then be available for lead-follow during the afternoon sessions. Only Waterford approved instructors will be allowed in the vehicle with you. We'll have more on that later!
Anyone that ran during the final OTD of last year probably noticed there were more un-interrupted laps. This was in a large part due to our Steward and Corner Marshalls taking an active roll in moving participants into groups that better matched their skill and timing. We plan to continue the practice this season as well as limiting the number of cars on track in each group to relieve on track congestion.
I've been posting tips and links to sites with good information on Track Days. If you have a good tip, or know of a good source of info on the web, let me know. We're at https://twitter.com/whrwotd
Fresh Blood
Well… we don't want to see any actual blood, but we do want to see new faces at the track. If you know of someone that might be interested in running on the track, pass this info on to them, or have them contact me. It'd be wrong to keep Running at Waterford Hills all to yourself. Don't be stingy!
Things we are working on:
Time Attack/Time Trial group
Waterford Hills is considering a Time Attack group similar to the NASA TT program. Participants would run during regular race weekends. The idea is to get OTD/HPDE participants familiar with, and interested in racing. We would use our regular OTD vehicles during these sessions. Format and rules have not been decided at this time. I'd like to see some feedback from our actual OTD participants and HPDE enthusiasts. Send me an email, or reply to the topic on our fourm page: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4671 This is a VERY cool idea, and since this is being considered, I'd like to get as much of our input into it as possible.
OTD/HPDE Log books
A suggestion was made that could benefit our OTD/HPDE participants. Using a log book to track your progress as a driver and vehicle statistics. This could potentially be used as an annual tech as well. The primary use would be to aid in classification for each OTD. This will also get you accustomed to using log books if you plan to move on to wheel to wheel racing. I'll have more on this as it develops.
Low cost data logger
I've been using my I-phone and Harry's Lap Timer to monitor my progress at Waterford. I've got video here to give you an idea of the info it provides: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riJRJ5QcY34 The system uses the g-force sensors, video camera and GPS in the iphone to give you basic logging and track information. If you add an external GPS sensor (XGPS-150) and a OBD link (Go-Point), you can get higher accuracy GPS and vehicle telemetry directly from the car.
Harry's lap timer: Itunes store, or http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Home.html
XGPS 150: http://xgps150.dualav.com/
GoPoint BT1: http://gopointtech.com/
Total system (provided you have an IPhone is less than $200.00. I'll be happy to help you set up the system if you'd like, and we may have GoPoint staff on site at the first OTD this year. (We'll keep you up to date on that) I personally use this system and am only providing the info to make the Waterford experience better for everyone. If you know of another good system please let me know.
If you have any suggestions, questions, issues or concerns, please feel free to contact me. And remember - I'm not only the organizer... I'm a participant too!

Superstitious Strawberry Moon: Just how rare is this Friday the 13th full moon?
It's going to be a bad day for people who believe in werewolves and think black cats bring bad luck. We have a full moon Friday the 13th.
Some are saying this super-superstitious lunar event hasn't happened since 1919. But that's not really true. In fact, it's happened six times since 1919, the website ResearchManiacs.com says .
That said, the last full moon on a Friday the 13 in June happened in 1919. Our last time with this double-whammy was October 13, 2000.
But if you aren't scared yet of the "lunar effect " or the prospects a water-logged, undead killing machine will attack your summer camp, there is a real-life worry you might consider: Solar flares.
Yeah, according to ABC News , one of the big solar flares the sun had earlier this week created "a huge cloud of plasma that could hit the Earth and cause a shock wave" ...so yay?
Speaking of science, this year's Friday the 13th full moon was, technically, only seen by those of us on the East Coast as the moon was full just after midnight, receding in size after that, according to Vox.com . (Folks in South America, Europe, Africa or Asia shared the honor.)
Though we get a spooky "Strawberry Moon " on average of one every 20 years or so, we won't get to see another until 2049. That's 35 years from now.

Steer in the Right Direction with Ease! - Power Steering InstallWritten by on October 13, 2006 CPP's New Power Steering Kit for '57-60 F-100s
If you've ever driven an old truck with manual steering and tires wider than 6.00x16 bias-plies up front, you know where the term "Armstrong power steering" comes from! Even when your bias-ply tires run a little low on air, you gain a great deal of resistance you don't need while trying to maneuver into a spot in the corner store's cozy parking lot to buy a lotto ticket. Let's not even get into doing this with radial tires.
Now you don't need a new truck to flip a U with ease or parallel-park without taking a rest first. Classic Performance Products has just the ticket for the '57-60 Ford F-100 crowd-POWER STEERING! Believe it or not, the cornerstone of their new kit is a compact, relatively light power steering box made by Toyota for only a few years. The Toyota box isn't much bigger than the stock side-steer Gemmer box that came installed in these trucks from the factory. Four-wheel-drive enthusiasts have snatched this box up for years because it easily adapts to confined spaces and it'll turn those big, gnarly mud tires with ease. We might not be driving monster trucks, but we need to turn our tires too, right?
CPP thought so, and they are actually manufacturing their own housings for these since they've become so scarce. That way everyone can buy one, and CPP can come up with more applications to use them in. The Toyota box is topped with a rag joint that attaches directly to the DD shaft in our ididit tilt column-no U-joints hooked to a mess of snaking shafts. We ordered our column in a plain steel finish that we painted black to match our black Lecarra '40 Ford 15-inch steering wheel, but you can order them in chrome or polished to add some sparkle to your interior.
CPP makes things as painless as possible by including a plate to fill the stock hole in the floor that also mounts the bottom column support, a new drag link with tie rod ends, and a pitman arm. They have different power steering hose kits depending on what power steering pump you are using. Call them up and discuss your needs with them if you have questions.
This changeover does require some light fabrication, mostly drilling holes and grinding or filling. There's no welding involved, so most people should be all right; just follow CPP's careful instructions. The guys there really know what's going on since they develop and manufacture most of the parts they sell in-house. About the only thing we couldn't do at this point is wire the ididit column since the truck is currently void of most of its stock wiring, but that's another story-literally.
Read on for the gist of what could be the reason you keep your truck and finally really enjoy it. Then steer yourself in the right direction by calling CPP!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
A tasty spread of parts from CPP, ididit, and Lecarra. CPP supplies the power steering box, hose kit, pitman arm, drag link, and floor plate/bottom column support, while the tilt column, knobs, and column drop are from ididit. Lecarra makes the beautiful cut-down 15-inch '40 Ford steering wheel and adapter for GM splined shafts.Jeff gets started on dismantling the "Armstrong" steering. Don't forget a steering wheel puller, because no matter how tuff you think you might be, you'll probably wind up hurting yourself one way or the other and have to buy a puller anyway, so let's all work smarter, not harder.Once the wheel was off and the column drop unbolted, Abel worked on removing the pitman arm. When the cross-bolt is out, the pitman arm may come off by hand depending on how rusty it is. Ours wasn't bad, but a puller could be used here, too.With the old box out and the frame cleaned up, it is time to mark the one new hole you need to mount the Toyota power steering box. Surprisingly, the two rearward original holes line up with the new box's mount. CPP supplies a paper template with the new bolt pattern on it, and with a light on the inside of the frame it's easy to line up with the two original holes like Abel and Jeff are doing here.The light shines through the holes in the frame, so it's a snap to get in the right spot. When it's right, tape it in place.With a center or transfer punch, mark the center of the new front hole according to the template and drill it out to 3/8 inch.The pitman arm hole needs to be opened up just a hair. You can do this with a drum sander or even a file if need be; just check that the box fits without any interference.
Here's CPP's machined solid steel mount for the Toyota box. It bolts to the box with the four provided bolts before going into the frame.The new box goes in pretty much just like the old one, except you don't have to jimmy a steering shaft back into place since the ididit column will go directly into the rag joint on the steering box. You might also notice the Toyota box's diminutive size; that's why it works so well, and why they're getting hard to find today. The 4x4 guys have been scooping them up for years. CPP is working on manufacturing their own soon.When the box is back in the chassis, the center of the rotation had to be found so the pitman arm could be installed in the 6 o'clock position, which would leave equal rotation to turn left or right. with that taken care of, we put the impact gun on the pitman arm nut and installed the new drag link. Don't forget to put the cotter pins in the castle nuts after they're tightened down!Everything worked out pretty nicely when it was all connected to the steering arm, which was previously heated up and bent down the same amount of drop the CPP dropped axle has to keep the steering geometry correct and avoid bumpsteer.During the R&D process, CPP's engineer Danny Nix came up with this doubler plate that also acts as a cage around the bolt heads that hold the steering box to the frame, so this plate will go on before the three bolts. Then just bed the tabs up when the bolts are tight to help keep them in place.The Ford motor in the '60 is getting a Vintage Air Front Runner serpentine belt system, which calls for a Type 2 GM power steering pump. We had to pull the AN adapter fitting that goes to the high-pressure line and install one with 16mm threads so everything would jive. Talk to CPP about what pump you're using since fittings and hose length can vary.The low-pressure fitting on the steering box is the one closest to the framerail. It takes the gold-colored fitting, while the high-pressure side takes the black-anodized one. The thread size for each is really close and would be easy to mix up, so that's why they're color coded.The high-pressure line goes on the box like so and was directed to angle down along the frame for smooth, out-of-the-way routing.The area around the high-pressure line going into the power steering pump is really tight between the belt and the reservoir, so take some care to clock it right when it's snugged down. The low-pressure line coming out of the reservoir is simply cut to length since all it needs is a hose clamp to keep it secure. The Toyota box more than clears the Sanderson headers on the Smeding 351 stroker motor, more than any of us expected, which is great!
CPP includes this plate to cover the factory hole in the floor used to fit the column and shift linkage. The ididit support attaches to the plate, supports the bottom of the column, and finishes off an often awkward area.Being that the ididit column is bigger in diameter, it hits the brake pedal ever so much, which means the pedal needs to be removed and bent in the vise enough to clear the column. Jeff also removed the clutch pedal while he was at it since it won't be needed when the truck is back on the road.With the column supported by the column drop, the turn signal lever was installed BEFORE the Lecarra '40 Ford steering wheel adapter. If you don't do this now, you'll have to take the steering wheel and adapter back off to do it like I did, smooth.The Lecarra '40 Ford wheel goes on next and is attached with three of the six button heads before the horn button retainer goes in. Connect the horn button's wire before bolting it down.

It's a rare thing to see a Grenache from the Russian River Valley and what's even more rare is that it would taste this darn good! As we all know Pinot Noir takes central stage in this small part of Sonoma County and you'd probably think someone was nuts to plant a Rhone varietal there.
Duval-Leroy is based in Vertus, a village in the Côte de Blancs, and is now one of the largest land-owners in all Champagne. They own vineyards in all the Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs. This vintage cuvée is mostly Grand Cru, from the Vallée de la Marne, Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs.
Dom Pérignon or as the hommies like to call him "Dom P", was a Benedictine monk who, in 1668, was appointed treasurer at the Abbey of Hautvillers near the town of Epernay Champagne. Among Dom Pérignon's various duties was to oversee the running of the cellars and the winemaking, which in this time was considered to be of substantial importance.
I'm sure Joseph Wagner (winemaker) would prefer that I talk about the wine and not the fact that he's the son of the famous Chuck Wagner of Caymus Vineyards. At any rate his heritage will have to follow him and I'm sure he's proud of his own accomplishments because these wines are great!
I didn't realize at the time when I tasted this wine that it was only a small 145 case production. There's something so special about drinking single vineyard wines that only a few people in the world have the opportunity to experience each vintage.
This wine was nearly impossible to find any information on! What I think is it was a grower who decided to bottle some of his grapes and probably sold the rest to a negociant. However, I did enjoy tasting a lesser known Burgundy and would love to find more wines like this.
Photograpghy by Pricilla Upton
John Alban is a pioneer in Central Coast Rhone varietals and has been making Viognier for close to 20 years there. This wine is mostly sourced from his estate vineyards with about a third of the grapes being purchase from other Central Coast vineyards.
I don't often get the opportunity to taste a lot of white Bordeaux so when I saw this wine at a recent tasting I attended I was really excited to try it. Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte is located in Bordeaux's Graves appellation and have been growing grapes in this site as early as 1365. It has a storied history of producing quality wine and in 1990 the property was purchase by the Cathiard family who have revamped the operation and started to make wines of immense quality and high acclaim.
Lussac-Saint-Émilion is a AOC located on the right bank of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers in Bordeaux. It's commonly grouped in with so-called satellites of Saint-Émilion. Lussac is planted to four of the five Bordeaux varietals, with Petit Verdot being the odd one out. Merlot is the dominant varietal of the four in most blends.

For Promotion or Career Status reviews speak to your Review Initiator and assemble your documents in early November. The Review Initiator must submit all documentation to LHRD or APO by mid-February. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/time.html or http://apo.chance.berkeley.edu/librarians.html
For Merit and Special reviews confer with your Review Initiator and begin to assemble your documents in November. The Review Initiator must submit all documentation to LHRD or APO by mid-March. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/timtbla.html or http://apo.chance.berkeley.edu/librarians.html
- What if my dossier is late?
Late dossiers seriously disadvantage both the candidate and the peer review process by limiting CAPA's ability to review dossiers at comparable appointment levels. See Procedures for Review of Librarian Appointments, Promotions, and Advancement and Administrative Review Procedures for Librarians Requesting a Reconsideration of a Salary or Promotion Decision (commonly called the Berkeley Procedures) Section VI.A.5. Failure of any participant in the peer review timetable as permitted in APM 360-80(a)(2), shall be explicitly cited in the participant's own review as a negative reflection on professional judgement and competence. Section VI.B.1.f. If a candidate fails to provide the review initiator with a self-evaluation or to secure an extension within two weeks of the final deadline, the review initiator will complete his/her review and forward the review dossier as usual. The maximum extension past the final deadline is thirty days.
- How do I request an extension of the deadline?
A request for an extension of the timetable must be in writing with an explanation of the unforeseen circumstance that requires an extension of the timetable. Submit the request to your Review Initiator as early as possible in the review cycle. Authorization must be secured no later than three weeks before the deadline. The maximum extension past the final deadline is thirty days. The request will become part of the candidate's file. The person who grants the extension must notify LHRD or APO promptly. Procedures For Review of Librarian Appointments... (Berkeley Procedures), VI.B.1.f.
When do I ask for a one-year deferral?
A deferral is a neutral action that is appropriate in the case of a prolonged absence or other unusual circumstance and that can only be initiated with the written agreement of the candidate. It is not granted automatically. The candidate, the review initiator, and CAPA must put their recommendations regarding a proposed deferral in writing for a final decision by the University Librarian or the Vice Provost (for affiliated librarians). A deferral can only be granted for one year at a time. See Berkeley Procedures, VII.A.2. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/lib6.html ; the Academic Personnel Manual (APM) 360-80 a.(2) http://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel/_files/apm/apm-360.pdf based upon the Memorandum of Understanding ...Professional Librarian Unit (MOU) Article 4 C.2. http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/employees/policies_employee_labor_relations/collective_bargaining_units/librarians_lib/agreement.html
All proposed deferrals of a promotion or career status review must be submitted by the candidate and the Review Initiator to CAPA by mid-November at the latest. The candidate and the Review Initiator have until January to submit to CAPA a request for a deferral of a merit increase review. LHRD and APO must also be notified at the same time. See the appropriate timetables for specific dates.
- When should I ask for an accelerated review?
The candidate or the review initiator may request an accelerated review. Acceleration should be considered in cases of unusual achievement and exceptional promise of continued growth. '[O]utstanding achievement is grounds for accelerated advancement. ' Berkeley Procedures, III.B.2. See also Berkeley Procedures, VI.B.1.d.; VII.A.1.; VII.B.3. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/lib6.html based upon the APM 360-80 a.(1)http://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel/_files/apm/apm-360.pdf based upon the MOU Article 4 C.1. http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/employees/policies_employee_labor_relations/collective_bargaining_units/librarians_lib/agreement.html
If you wish to request either to be reviewed a year early or to advance more than one step in the Librarian series (either of which can be a form of acceleration), inform your Review Initiator by the beginning of November and begin to compile the documentation for your accelerated review.
B. What is the time period covered in a review?
- What is the review period for a merit increase in the Assistant or Associate Librarian rank?
The review period is based upon the calendar year, not the University's fiscal year. (The advancement or salary increase, if awarded, will be effective at the beginning of the next fiscal year.)
Therefore, a librarian on a two-year review cycle who plans to file a dossier in March 2004 will put together a dossier based upon achievements from January 2002 through December 2003.
- What is the review period for a merit increase in the Librarian rank?
The review period is based upon the calendar year, not the University's fiscal year. (The advancement or salary increase, if awarded, will be effective at the beginning of the next fiscal year.)
Therefore, a librarian on a three-year review cycle who plans to file a dossier in March 2004 will put together a dossier based upon achievements from January 2001 through December 2003. Even though the dossier will concentrate upon this time frame, in the upper steps of the Librarian rank it is appropriate to give some consideration to one's whole career as a librarian.
- What is the review period for a promotion or career status review?
The career status review should evaluate a candidate's entire career as a librarian and not just the few years since the last review. It is appropriate in a career status review to evaluate the candidate's entire professional career, not just at Berkeley but also in prior employment, if any.
C. What are the criteria for review of the dossiers?
Follow the criteria for the type of review being requested: merit, career status, or promotion. In addition to those criteria, demonstrate 'outstanding achievement.' '[O]utstanding achievement is grounds for accelerated advancement.' Berkeley Procedures, III.B.2. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/lib6.html
- What are the criteria for a merit or promotion review?
A candidate is judged, (1) above all else, on the basis of his or her professional competence and quality of service within the library and, as relevant, on one or more of the following three criteria: (2) professional activity outside the library, (3) University and public service, and (4) research and other creative activity. An explanation of these criteria is set forth in APM 210-4 .e(3). http://www.ucop.edu/acadadv/acadpers/apm/welcome.html See also references to APM 210-4 in APM360-10 http://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel/_files/apm/apm-360.pdf and in Berkeley Procedures, VI.A. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/lib6.html
- What are the criteria for a career status review?
A candidate for career status must be fully reviewed in accordance with the criteria for merit or promotion reviews. A decision on career status must be made within six years for an individual appointed at the rank of Assistant Librarian, within four years for an individual appointed at the rank of Associate Librarian, and within three years for an individual appointed at the rank of Librarian. APM360-17.b. http://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel/_files/apm/apm-360.pdf Berkeley Procedures, VI.B. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/lib6.html
- What are the criteria for an accelerated review?
D. What needs to be included in the dossier?
- What should be in my self-evaluation?
The self-evaluation is most effective when it is organized under headings related to the relevant criteria of review. The significant achievements of the period under review should be analyzed for their impact upon the goals of the candidate's department, the University or the profession. See http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/revself.html All librarians and especially affiliated librarians, who may have unique responsibilities, should include an introductory paragraph that explains the nature of their collection and their position within their unit.
- What supporting documentation should I include?
The supporting documentation should be carefully chosen and relevant to the period under review. Appropriate documents may include copies of articles written, other published materials, and significant electronic projects. The place for detailing all of your activities is the Biography Form 1501 or its equivalent. The form is available online at http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/Staff/LHRD/Aca_Bio.doc
- When should I ask for letters of support?
In cases of promotion, career status reviews and the upper steps of the Librarian rank, you should provide a list of names of persons who can comment upon your professional performance to your Review Initiator. The Review Initiator may or may not use all of these names. Such letters of evaluation are usually not necessary in normal merit reviews, but may be appropriate in certain cases. See APM360-80.e.http://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel/_files/apm/apm-360.pdf ; Berkeley Procedures, VII.B.6. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/lib6.html CAPA advises Review Initiators that typically three letters are requested; it all depends upon the needs of each case for support of key achievements.
- What are my options to exclude input from certain individuals?
You may provide the names of persons you wish to exclude and reasons why they may not objectively evaluate your qualifications or performance to your Review Initiator. This statement must be in writing and will be included in your file. Berkeley Procedures, VII.B.6.a. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/lib6.html APM360-80.f. http://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel/_files/apm/apm-360.pdf
Please note that providing such a list does not preclude the Review Initiator from contacting these persons. The Review Initiator's decision whether or from whom to solicit letters is not subject to grievance or arbitration. MOU Article 4 C.8. http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/employees/policies_employee_labor_relations/collective_bargaining_units/librarians_lib/agreement.html
- Can I see the confidential letters? Can I respond to them?
You may request redacted copies of confidential documents included in your dossier from LHRD or APO before the review process is completed (and/or afterwards). And, you may submit a written statement in response to, or commenting on, the material in your file. MOU Article 4.C.10, 11, 12.
E. What rules apply to whom?
- Memorandum of Understanding...Professional Librarian Unit (MOU)
There is a collective bargaining agreement between The Regents of the University of California and the librarians, with a few exceptions for certain supervisory employees. This is the basic legal contract between librarians and UC. It specifically provides for local procedures at various points. Much of the language in our local procedures is adopted directly from the MOU. Article 9 D. of the MOU says 'A copy of this Agreement shall be given by the University of each librarian, including any librarians who are hired after the effective date of this Agreement.' This is the practice followed by the Berkeley Library Human Resources Department and the Academic Personnel Office. http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/employees/policies_employee_labor_relations/collective_bargaining_units/librarians_lib/agreement.html
- Academic Personnel Manual (APM)
The President of the University of California has issued policies and procedures pertaining to academic employees, including librarians, and UC. The APM applies to librarians governed by the MOU only to the extent provided for in the MOU. Much of the language of the APM is derived from the MOU. http://www.ucop.edu/acadadv/acadpers/apm/welcome.html
- Procedures For Review of Librarian Appointments, Promotions, and Advancement and Administrative Review Procedures For Librarians Requesting a Reconsideration of a Salary or Promotion Decision ('Berkeley Procedures')
These are our local procedures that implement the MOU and the APM. They mimic much of the language of the MOU and the APM, but they also name the specific groups and individuals who are responsible for various parts of the procedure and for decision-making. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/lib6.html
- Librarians' Association of UC (LAUC)
LAUC is an official unit of UC that includes all librarians, including the supervisory and management levels. LAUC's purpose is to advise the Office of the President, campus administration and library administration on matters relating to libraries and librarians, other than matters covered by the MOU and other union negotiations. LAUC does issue position papers on matters that affect all librarians at UC. ; APM360 Appendix B http://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel/_files/apm/apm-360.pdf
- The Committee on Appointment, Promotion and Advancement (CAPA)
CAPA is a standing committee of the Berkeley Division of LAUC (LAUC-B). CAPA consists of seven librarians who review and make recommendations to the University Librarian or the Vice Provost, as appropriate, for all cases of appointment, promotion, merit increase and career status. CAPA absolutely guards the confidentiality of individual review cases. Current members of CAPA do not comment or give advice upon policies or procedures related to the review process. Berkeley Procedures, IV.B. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LHRD/lib6.html
F. Whom do I ask for help?
- Attend the annual peer review workshops every year, but especially in the year in which you are up for review. These are announced via email on the library's LAUC reflector and usually occur near the end of October.
- The LHRD and APO web pages have helpful links to additional information and forms some of which are referred to in other parts of this FAQ.
- LAUC Mentors and past members of CAPA can also answer questions. The Historical Roster of CAPA Members is posted on the web.
- The LAUC-B Executive Committee runs a mentoring program, usually headed by the Library Representative on the Committee. See Committee Rosters if you don't already have a mentor, you might contact the Library Representative on the LAUC-B Executive Committee.

|Kotch brothers wrestle at Reg'l, State Middle School tourneys
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Competing in the Colorado Middle School State Regional Tournament March 27-28 in Fort Lupton and the Colorado Middle School State Championships in Denver April 3-4 were Holyoke junior high students Spencer and Dylan Kotch.
At both tournaments, Spencer, 14 and an eighth grader, competed in the 135-lb. bracket, while Dylan, 12 and a sixth grader, was in the 160-lb. weight bracket.
At the Regional Tournament, wrestlers had to place in the top eight to be able to continue on in the state championships.
According to the boys' mother, Christy Finch, Spencer wrestled two very tough matches and dominated in both, coming away with wins. However, he let his third match slip away, losing by points. Still, he wound up with a second-place finish that guaranteed him good seeding at State.
Dylan met up with some hard eighth-grade competition and ended the day 0-2, but still qualified for third place and the chance to compete at State.
At the State Championships, held at the National Western Complex in Denver, both boys came out ready to wrestle. On Friday, April 3, Spencer was given a bye his first round and won his second.
Dylan, who was the only sixth-grader in his bracket, also won his first and second matches of the tournament, earning him the chance to return on Saturday, April 4.
Unfortunately, Saturday did not end as well for the brothers as they might have hoped. They both lost their third and fourth-round matches, ending the weekend 2-2.
However, added Finch, "All in all, it was a great wrestling season for both boys and they showed much improvement from the first of the season."
Both boys were coached by Dusty McConnell and Justin Helgoth. It was noted the brothers appreciate their coaches' hard work and dedication.

It's been month's (probably over a year) since I last fully participated in a Challenge - I tried a few month's ago, but got too busy to finish that challenge. I definitely got an idea in mind and I'm forcing myself to fit this in, this month.
Brigatine's Rest, Barker Bay is the tentative name for this. I'm planning to create a kind of map, I've never done before, nor seen an example here, at least not off the top of my head. I am creating an isometric cross-section map.
This will be some cove or bay with rocky, silty sea floor with a partially buried (in the sand) brigatine pirate ship sunken at the bottom of the bay. Since the ship is buried in the silt, doing a cross-sectional map will depict the buried portion of the ship, also will show the layers of silt build up and cross-sections of rock and the shore. I plan to include some flowing kelp below the turbulent surf, and maybe a school of fish, shark and octopus or squid in the water.
For extra complex detail, I plan to create a rough water's surface with waves and surf crashing against the cliffside shore behind and to the sides of the map. I plan to make the water's surface only partially transparent, as a clean separation between under water and above water. Then I'll create a ravaged rocky shore with maybe a light house or captain's home on the cliff top.
So far all I've created is the cross-section aft view of the ship interior, and have added a pile of cannons and ball for the gun deck. I plan yet to create crates, barrels and chest piled up in the ship's hoard on the lower deck. I've created the reference images in 3D using Nendo, my preferred subdivisional surface modeler, which was imported to Raydream Studio (my old 3D rendering program) to simulate the pile of loose cannons, then I printed in b/w, placed tracing paper on top, hand-drew the line work, scanned it into my computer to create the image below...
I plan to have the ship be 80% buried in sand with only the bow and forecastle peeking out (away from the viewer) to the rear of this cross-section interior view, with some broken masts peeking out of the sand, perhaps loose rope and torn sails.
I will add the pile of crates of the hoard next, followed by the cross-section end of the silt bottom next. This should take me several days to complete the challenge.

All skin can greatly benefit from regular exfoliation.

Part 4: Sure-Footed Flyer, Part IIWritten by on June 1, 2004 Suspension Trickery
Last month we rebuilt the ailing suspension of our Project Diplomat with the promise that we still had a few tricks up our sleeve to better the performance of our '89 M-Body. As you will see, Ma Mopar's basic design is a sound one that we did not alter a lot. In other words, we didn't reinvent the wheel; we simply made it roll better. but, there are some weaknesses that dogged Chrysler, particularly with the early Diplomat/Gran Fury platforms, where extreme usage by law-enforcement agencies uncovered a glaring flaw in the construction. Despite the fact that certain detractors dismiss the transverse torsion bar system out of hand, we feel that such negativism is unwarranted.
The transverse torsion-bar suspension was debuted with the introduction of the '76 Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volare F-bodies. Police agencies were faced with patrol cars whose front suspensions sagged over time, causing uneven tire wear (from negative camber), poor high-speed handling (from toe-out), and severe brake pull (also from toe-out). While the sagging suspension wasn't a unique event in and of itself, it was quite rapid, particularly under aggressive braking. Plagued with alignment issues when pushed to their limits by law-enforcement agencies, the problem was found attributable to K-members produced from inferior materials on foreign soil. In M-Bodies and F-bodies, the K-member serves a multipurpose function and is responsible for cradling the engine and locating the suspension, steering, and brakes. The tumor was supposedly removed and the situation rectified by the '88 model year--two short years before the end of the Chrysler pursuit vehicles. But we're not going to get sentimental on you; we're simply going to celebrate the era by making our Diplomat into what it could have been with a little more development. these problems were not that prevalent with civilian versions of the M-Bodies because they generally weren't driven with as much gusto as police cars.
In the first installment, we had to make sure our foundation was solid. We returned to Sleeper Suspension Development to let owner Jim Sleeper loose with his bag of tricks. With some carefully crafted modifications, the lightly regarded transverse torsion bar suspension can become a heavy hitter in terms of street hook.

Handling of any car is going to be questionable at best without a front sway bar. Quickor sent these trick sway bars, measuring 1-1/4 inch and 7/8 inch, front and rear.(above & below) The original police-issue sway bar measures a whopping 1-1/8 inches, but we went one better with the Quickor 1-1/4-inch unit. We made the decision to stick with the original rear sway bar for testing purposes. It's Fat City back here with the factory-issued, police-package rear sway bars spec'ing at a chubby 1 inch in girth.Quickor Suspension sourced Energy Suspension for the polyurethane swaybar bushing kit included with the new sway bars.(above & right) While we were at it, we decided to strengthen the lowercontrol arms on project Stealth Bomber by boxing and gusseting them.Here, Jim Sleeper makes a template pattern. The templates are used todraw patterns on a 3/16-inch steel plate. Then a plasma cutter isemployed to cut out the pieces.We welded a nut on the backside of each outboard control-arm brace toreceive the strut-rod link--but more on that later.
(above & below left) Next on the agenda was building a crossmember out of thecore support by using a piece of 2x4-inch steel tubing for rigidity.Once the basic design was drawn, we went back to the plasma cutter.A thorough cleaning of any surface to be welded is an absolute necessityto ensure a good, strong weld. We used a wire brush to rid the bottom ofthe radiator core support of all grit, grease, paint, and primer.The added crossmember will provide a solid mounting point for the strutrods we plan on adding to the front suspension. We also boxed the endsfor torsional rigidity.(above & right) One of the most glaring weaknesses of the M-Bodysuspension is the K-member bushings, which most find unsatisfactorywhen placed in a performance-oriented situation. These stiffpolyurethane units measured a rock-hard 94 on the durometer, while therubber pieces could muster only a soft 52 rating. Mopar Performanceused to offer solid cast-iron bushings, but they are no longeravailable. Just Suspensions scored us this set for our potent Diplomat.Swapping out the K-member bushings requires jackstands to keep the carlifted off the ground by the frame and to unload the suspension. Next, afloor jack is placed under the k-member for support while all fourmounts are loosened.
(above & right) In order to get to the rear K-member bushings, the uppercontrol arms need to be unbolted from the K-member so it can be moveddownward, making room to get to the rear bushings. A floor jack was usedto support and raise the lower control arm for re-assembly. once all theupper bushing pieces are in place, the floor jack supporting theK-member is raised.Bracing was added to triangulate the new core-support crossmember andthe K-member. A 3/16-inch steel bar stock was welded between them to add rigidity and also to prevent the K-member from unnecessary movement,fixing the distance between the crossmember and K-member.Strut rods were pieced together from 1-inch, .095-thick-wall chromolytubing that measures 19.5 inches in length.We added a chromoly Teflon-lined rod end to each strut rod. The mountingpoints are the lower control arm and the new core support crossmember.The pivot points of our strut rods are on the same plane as the pivotpoints of our lower control arms. This was not done by accident. Bymaintaining the same pivot points, the lower control-arm bushing willnot be subjected to abnormal wear from twisting, and will be allowed toarticulate as intended with a more favorable motion. The strut rodlimits tension conveyed to the torsion bar when braking or driven hard.The torsion bar will no longer perform double duty as a spring and alocator for the lower control arm, allowing it to do what it doesbest--providing the suspension's spring requirement.

A new superstore opening in the Flathead is helping to improve the troubled economy, and drop the unemployment rate that's already been improving.
Nearly 125 jobs are available to Flathead County residents right now as outdoor gear giant Cabela's is accepting applications.
Bill Nelson of the Flathead Job Service says they've been working with Cabela's to add the postings to their service. Nelson hopes to add more jobs to their list of postings.
"It's the best we've seen in five years," said Nelson. "Since the recession it's the most jobs we've had in several years. I just encourage anyone who may be seeking a job or unemployed and looking for anything really to come in and see us."
Cabela's anticipates opening in the beginning of August and is hoping to fill as many of those positions as possible before then.

Short week could be a plus for WVU
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - For much of the past two months, games couldn't be spaced far enough apart for West Virginia's football team. After all, each week brought something new and troublesome to work on.
This week is different. The Mountaineers have one less day to prepare for Friday afternoon's game at Iowa State and that's just fine with all concerned.
Sure, there are still plenty of things to work on, but for one of the few times of late there are more encouraging signs than ominous ones.
"We'll obviously be one day shorter, which I think is good because we need to get back out there and play again,'' coach Dana Holgorsen said Monday. "The best way to get back on track is to get out there and have the opportunity to play.''
From a strictly numeric sense, little about West Virginia's football team changed with Saturday's 50-49 loss at home to Oklahoma. The Mountaineers are still in the throes of a losing streak that has now reached five and has neatly come to match the win streak that began the season.
They still have huge defensive issues and, once again, specials-teams errors didn't help. A missed extra point ultimately prevented the game from going to overtime and a kickoff return to near midfield set up Oklahoma's winning score.
But for the first time since that 5-0 start, the offense seems once again dynamic enough to overcome almost every obstacle presented it by the defense and special teams, and those units have progressed just enough to make things interesting.
So why not want to get back out there as soon as possible? The chance comes when West Virginia (5-5, 2-5 Big 12) faces Iowa State (6-5, 3-5) in a 3:30 p.m. game Friday (ABC) at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa.
"All losses are pretty tough, but I don't know what else we could have done. I felt like we gave it everything that we had,'' Holgorsen said of the loss to OU. "The sideline energy was great and our kids played hard. The effort was there, the energy was there and the excitement was there. The sidelines were energetic, and our guys put a whole lot into it, but we couldn't get it done. They made one more play then we did.
"It was a tough one, but all losses are fairly tough. That's why I'm excited about the short week. There's not time to sit and ponder.''
Of course, if there's ever a good week to have less time to prepare than normal, this would be it. School is on break all week, so finding time for extra work and preparation isn't an issue. Monday is usually an off day for the players to concentrate on academics, but the team lifted weights during the day and went through a regular Tuesday practice Monday.
There also seems to be more of a positive attitude this week as opposed to recent ones. Much of that is certainly due to the sudden revitalization of the offense. With Tavon Austin making a surprise appearance at tailback and the Mountaineers rolling up a staggering 778 yards against the Sooners, there seems hope that with all the nationally ranked teams on the schedule in the rear-view mirror, the chances of getting the one more win needed for bowl eligibility are far better.
After Iowa State, West Virginia closes the regular season at home against 1-10 Kansas on Dec. 1. A win in either game will send the Mountaineers to a bowl game for the 11th straight year.
Because of all of that - the performance of the offense, the competitive nature of the game with Oklahoma, the chance to become bowl eligible - Holgorsen said he doesn't feel like motivation is an issue.
"I don't see that at this point,'' Holgorsen said. "Yes, there's a worry to that, but we're still playing for a lot. We have 22 [seniors] that have 12 days left in their college careers unless we win one of the two and extend it to a bowl game.''
Of course, whatever bowl West Virginia would end up going to would be nothing like what was envisioned two months ago when the Mountaineers were in the national championship and BCS bowl conversations. But for a college football program, there's really no such thing as a bad bowl. At this stage, Holgorsen just wants to be able to practice for another few weeks.
"Bowl games are rewards. You get to a level where a bowl game is much more than a reward, but we're not at that stage right now. We're at the stage where we're playing for the betterment of the program,'' Holgorsen said. "If we win a couple of games and get to a good bowl game, we get to practice for another month. That will help us out for the program.''
He wasn't even the most impressive offensive player on the field, of course, given Tavon Austin's 344 rushing yards and 572 all-purpose yards. But the unwritten rule is that the players of the week must come from winning teams.
Austin wasn't even WVU's offensive champion because for the fifth straight week none were chosen.

Parents are finding out that teachers are not villains
< Previous page 1 2 3 4
(Page 4 of 4)
My answer to that question would look at those who make money out of education reform, and that starts with Arne Duncan and the federal officials who coerced the states to accept programs such as closing "failing" schools, using test scores to fire and pay teachers and the Common Core by using Race to the Top money and No Child Left Behind money as a carrot. Then, there are the state functionaries who want the money and push the programs, constantly — three times in the last five years — change the passing grade on the standardized to "cook the books, making the same students look alternately smarter and then dumber to fit their own agenda.
And, for the first time, at least according to the latest polling data, the parents of those students are beginning to realize just who is at fault.

Who's at fault for failing schools? We are. All the residents of Long Island and across the nation who segregate our children into districts of "haves/have nots" and minority/white. Look at the schools that are failing and are always at the bottom of educational performance lists. They are always schools that are largely minority and/or consist of a largely lower socio-economic population. Let's not fool ourselves into believing that educational reform initiatives such as common core are anything but a waste of taxpayer dollars. Want to improve education? First, let's not compare minority children in crime-ridden, poor, neighborhoods to privileged children from middle class neighborhoods. The educations they're receiving are impacted by a lot more than curriculum. Secondly, demand to dissolve the segregated districts on Long Island. Have kids from Garden City and Jericho sit in classes alongside kids from Roosevelt and Hempstead.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Two Iowa men have pleaded guilty to federal charges of child pornography possession.
A news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Iowa says 23-year-old Donald Coffey and 26-year-old Justin Slattery each pleaded guilty last week to a single count.
Both men are from Cherokee.
The release says that in plea deals with prosecutors, Coffey agreed to 12 years in prison and Slattery agreed to seven years.
A sentencing date has not been set.
(Orange City) -- A Sheldon man has been sentenced for five years in prison for escaping from custody. 24 year old Tristan Schulz was sentenced in Sioux County district court on Monday for the crime of escape from custody, a class D felony. The case arose when Schulz left without permission in October from the Residential Treatment Facility located in Sheldon. At the time, Schulz was serving five years for burglary in the third degree, which is a class D felony. Schulz was arrested on November 18th. Schulz must now serve the original five years for the burglary charges and another five years consecutively for the escape charges.
(Anthon) -- Woodbury County Sheriff's office is reporting a farm accident has claimed the life of a rural Anthon man. 48 year old Donald Graves was killed on Saturday while attempting to stand up a Bobcat skid loader that had rolled on to its side. Graves was using chains and tow straps while attempting to get the skid loader in an upright position. The skid loader spun around and struck Graves with the attachment on the front of the skid loader. The attachment then came to rest on Graves. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
(LeMars) -Christmas is known as the season for giving. So, are people being generous when it comes to local charities? Pat Warner works with the LeMars Christian Needs Center. The Christian Needs Center is a local charity that distributes food and clothing to Plymouth County residents. Warner has helped with the Christian Needs Center for three years and she says there are many people who are making contributions.
Listen here
At the same time, Warner says the demand for the Christian Needs Center's services has been on the increase, mainly due to the economy.
Listen here
Warner says fortunately, the donations have been able to keep up with the increased demand.
Listen here
The Christian Needs Center is now closed until January.
(Des Moines) -- Vice President Terry Branstad? The topic was discussed during the governor's weekly news conference on Monday morning. Iowa Governor Terry Branstad believes the race for president is still "wide open" and he expects the polls to shift in the closing days of the Iowa Caucus scheduled for January 3rd.
Branstad has occasionally chided candidates for failing to campaign as intensely in Iowa as candidates have in the past, but during his weekly statehouse news conference, Branstad says he is "pleased" with the "amount of activity" in the state from each of the candidates.
Branstad, just elected to his fifth term as governor in 2010 is not endorsing a candidate before the 2012 Caucuses. In 1996, he had endorsed and campaigned extensively for Kansas Senator Bob Dole. Now, Dole has called upon Branstad. Dole has announced that he endorses Mitt Romney for President and this weekend Dole contacted Branstad to share with him about his endorsement, and that is when the topic of Vice President Branstad came up in conversation. Dole told Branstad that he believes Branstad would make for a good vice president.
Branstad told reporters he "didn't want to start any rumors" and the position of vice president is not something he's interested in because he wants to stay in Iowa.
Branstad is Iowa's longest serving governor. Dole had campaigned for Branstad back in 1978 when Branstad was running for lietenant governor. Branstad was first elected as governor in 1982.

Very nice video. It was cool to see him get his elk.
That was a very well put together video. The family aspect was great, you didn't get the feeling that he was just some hired gun out there trying to fill his tag so he could rush off and fill another tag somewhere else.
What an awesome hunt, cant think of a much more deserving guy.
the huntforeverwest folks did a great job putting this video together. I wished I could have been there for the hunt, the video made me feel like I was. thanks for the great comments.
Thats awesome! Everyone pulling together for someones dream that may not have another chance. Thats the way hunting should be!!!

As a team, Sterling defeated Northridge 145-59.
"We had a great first meet," said coach Adria Colver. "Everyone swam well despite the normal cautiousness seen at the beginning of the season," she added. Colver emphasized it was a great beginning for newcomers to the team, as well as experienced swimmers.

In relay competition, LeAnne McWilliams swam backstroke on the first-place 200 medley relay, and Bergner swam breaststroke on the second-place medley relay team.
Pam McWilliams, Zeiler and Krogmeier were all members of the third-place 200 free relay.
In the 400 free relay, Pam McWilliams was part of the third-place team, and Krogmeier and Chelsy Gomez were on the fifth-place relay team.
The League meet is scheduled Thursday, Dec. 11 at Windsor, Sterling will host Scottsbluff, Neb. Monday, Dec. 15 at 5 p.m. and the girls will travel to Valley Tuesday, Dec. 16.

Roger Federer isn't into hypothetical situations or imaginary rankings for that matter.
The top-ranked Swiss, who'll meet Indianapolis champ Gilles Simon in his opening match in Toronto, is still the world no. 1 in his mind regardless of his recent losses in majors to Rafael Nadal nor what others may think:
There is never an unofficial world No1. Of course [Rafa] has still won two unbelievably difficult tournaments and whoever wins those is supposed to be No1. But I have had a very good end to the past two years. It's hard to snatch the No1 position, he knows that.Is Fed living in denial or rightful in his defiance? Clearly a little of both. He's still, based on the archaic ranking system, the top baller but it's hard to argue against someone carrying around the French-Wimbledon double and two Master Series' shields in his Babolat bag.

THE LOW DOWN: Fed's not feeling Rafa as unofficial no. 1 - are you listening Boris?
Labels: media, player quotes, Roger Federer, tennis

It will be a glorious day when the numbers DO say Rafa is number one. He's had to put his hand out to the numerical number one for so long and acknowledge that Federer is "the best", now he can hold it over his own heart and say IT'S ME! It's time.ReplyDelete
Can't wait.

(lurker here again) Hey rich, did you hear about roger's other comments in his recent interviews? He mentioned something like, LET'S NOT FORGET IT'S HARDCOURTS FOR 9 MONTHS TILL MONTE CARLO (ouch, is that a stab at Rafa?>)and that he's glad to be on hardcourts and no longer on clay AND GRASS (wait, wasn't grass your favorite?)...I could really taste the bitterness here,but I'll give him a break for now since he's probably fed up with the incessant queries from the press.ReplyDelete
b2012 - love the new avatar, haven't seen it yet but i heard it's really goodReplyDelete
anon - yeah i've read those comments. basically no. 1 is all he has to hold onto right now until he wins something significant aka US Open. if he doesn't win there, i can't imagine him believing he should have the ranking though he'd never say it publicly (i don't think).
these kinds of matters just bring the whole ranking system into question again and gives more credence to the ATP Race to the Masters Cup where Rafa is clearly in the lead.

Oh, no, Federer looks really old.ReplyDelete
Rich - it's crazy good!! Go see it at IMAX if you can!!! :DReplyDelete

(Lurker anon here again) Well what do you know....Roger's out of Rogers...I really feel for the guy now, I hope they give players an excuse from the press from time to time, maybe give them like 5 "coupons" to skip the postmatch press conferencethroughout the year...heheReplyDelete

|Alley paving project contingent on store construction
|Written by Chris Lee
City of Holyoke received a letter from Drake Real Estate Services Inc. of Denver asking for a commitment to pave the alley traveling north from Highway 6 behind Holyoke Community Federal Credit Union to KarDale's Restaurant. The request comes as the company is looking to construct a building that would house a proposed Family Dollar store.
Also requested was a commitment that trucks could load and unload from the alley.
Council members voted Tuesday, March 20 to send a letter saying the alley would be paved, but only in conjunction with the beginning of construction on the proposed store that would be built on the lot where Baldwin Chevrolet once stood.
A copy of the city ordinance dealing with loading and unloading of trucks will also be sent to Drake Real Estate Services.
City Supt. Mark Brown said in the past they have received requests that it be paved from businesses along that particular stretch of alley. The city's answer has been no, unless something be built so concrete wouldn't have to be torn up to install underground utilities.
In the letter from Drake Real Estate Services, it states construction on the store could begin toward the end of May and be completed in early August.
Drake Real Estate Services would build the building which would be leased or sold to Family Dollar.
Money for the alley project will come from the street department's budget, should the project go through. Brown said the alley would cost approximately $10,000 and work will be done by the City.
The City has $130,000 budgeted for street maintenance which includes the annual seal coat program. Brown said the alley project could be done but it will make the budget tight. Much of it depends on the price of oil at the time.
If the alley paving project goes through and the oil price is high, certain portions of the seal coat program might have to be scaled back, according to Brown.
