"O'Reilly Expands into Washington
with More Vineyards, New Winery"
Owen Roe's Winemaker Discovers Yakima Valley's Hidden Gems Via Tiny Vineyards
Author: Christina Kelly
Co-Author: Jean Yates
It's not an unfamiliar sight to see Oregon winemaker David O'Reilly driving around the hills surrounding the Yakima Valley in his high-mileage Ford Explorer, scouting out vineyards and vineyard locations for possible fruit sources. O'Reilly is expanding his winery operations in Washington State, and his number one goal is to locate the best vineyards for wine production.
The winemaker who co-founded Sineann Winery and is the co-owner and winemaker for Owen Roe Winery will be introducing new wines and bringing a new Washington winery to the market.
O'Reilly is outwardly ever-changing—an ideas man with a keen sense of marketing and a knack for making something work by making it the best he can. He does little advertising for his winery, or for his value-oriented offshoot labels, O'Reilly's and Sharecropper's, but he rarely has any inventory left by the vintage's end. Driven, but not manically so, he continues to look for new possibilities and new challenges that push the wine envelope—balanced soils, better canopy, lower crop yields and where possible, organic viticulture. O'Reilly thinks and re-thinks, garners opinions, and most of all scours the landscape to keep up with his growing efforts in the wine industry.
Inwardly, his drives are still the same—family (he and wife Angelica have eight home-schooled children), a constant desire to learn and be challenged, and a quality of life that focuses less on accumulating wealth and more on comfort and basic desires. He is meticulous and uncompromising in the winery and in the vineyard and has no problem selling off juice to someone else if it doesn't meet his expectations.
Owen Roe wines are highly sought-after, using grapes from Oregon (with Pinot Noir as the flagship) and Washington (the high-end Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot).

The New Winery and Wines
O'Reilly's new winery is in Wapato, Washington.

"What defines this area is beautiful fruit, shallow soils and hillsides," said O'Reilly while driving around the hills surrounding Yakima. "The acids in the fruit are great. We found green growers who don't manipulate the fruit."
Although a designated appellation, the Yakima Valley has been under the radar for many years, with the likes of Walla Walla and the Columbia Valley appellations garnering most of the attention. O'Reilly says the region is still being explored, "There is something really wild west about this area—there are so many places to discover."
The Ireland-born winemaker isn't pulling up his Oregon Pinot Noir roots, but rather planting new ones Washington. Many of the high-end red wines produced under the Owen Roe label are now made at the new winery.
By purchasing the Outlook Vineyard, O'Reilly is expanding his wine offerings to include wines at all price points, but adding much more in the value wines category. The more exclusive Owen Roe wines will also have some new sources, but O'Reilly gave himself more options with the new vineyard and new vineyard sources.

Vineyards Added to the Portfolio
In addition to the purchase of 280 acres of the Outlook Vineyard, O'Reilly added Rattlesnake Hills Vineyard (56 acres) to his portfolio. The vineyard is near the town of Union Gap, and the winemaker says he will likely change the name. In addition, O'Reilly discovered a tiny, three-fourths of an acre of Cabernet Franc tucked away in the middle of nowhere, called Slide Mountain and immediately became the only client after tasting the fruit.
Mike Sauer, owner of Red Willow Vineyard in Yakima, says O'Reilly rescued his vineyard after Columbia Winery pulled out of their large contracts a few years ago and left Sauer with tons of unspoken-for vines. O'Reilly got wind of the available fruit and immediately drove to the vineyard, where he and Sauer knocked out the grape contracts.

"After a while, you know what you are looking for, and Red Willow had the right soil and great exposure," said O'Reilly.
Other vineyards in the Owen Roe portfolio from Washington include the DuBrul Vineyard, where his top-tier wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are produced, Elerding Vineyard (Horse Heaven Hills), Elephant Mountain Vineyard, Wallula Vineyard and Erickson Road Vineyard - all in or near the Yakima AVA.
The Owen Roe label sources fruit from many vineyards in Oregon and even one Pinot Noir vineyard in the Santa Maria region in Northern California. O'Reilly makes Pinot Noir from the Dundee Hills, Chehalem and Eola Hills and Kilmore vineyards to name a few. His popular Abbot's Table is a blend from vineyards throughout the Northwest.
"He has great flexibility each year," says Matt Rice, who works at Owen Roe in distribution and marketing. "He doesn't compromise on his wines. If it doesn't fit what he wants, it will not go into the wine program."
However, Rice says a wine that may not make it into O'Reilly's top-end wine could be a part of his value wines, if the juice is good. With new fruit sources online, Rice says O'Reilly will have even greater choices for what goes into his various portfolios.
For example, the new value wines from Mirth and Lenore will likely compete at price points similar to the Magnificent Wine Company's House Wine (founded by K Vintner's Charles Smith of Walla Walla). The range could be from $8 to $15.
A New Winemaker Added to the Equation
As someone who believes in working with the best, O'Reilly insists on feeding his crews in Oregon and Washington at lunchtime with fresh food. He hires a cook to serve lunch daily. The crew sits down for the meal and talks about the work of the day or things they hear in the industry. If O'Reilly is in town, he joins them for a meal.
"He is a very good executive," said Owen. "David is principled, driven to make great wine and puts the right team together to support what he is building."
O'Reilly spends an extraordinary amount of time in vineyards&mdash. "The Yakima Valley has much to discover. There were bad wines made from that region in the early days, but we see great opportunities."
With high scores for his opulent and rich Owen Roe DuBrul Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Riesling, O'Reilly says the wines speaks for themselves. The grapes from the Yakima AVA are carefully tended, with punch downs by hand, racking by gravity and nurturing along with way without winemaker interference. The labels are hand-crafted and a work of art by themselves.

More Plans on the Horizon
O'Reilly is so convinced the undiscovered Yakima Valley will continue to yield beautiful fruit in the future, he is peering into the crystal ball of winemaking and planning on the philosophy of "if you build it, they will come."
"I don't need a showy Chateau to convince everyone about my wine," O'Reilly said. "The wines will speak for themselves. The grapes will shine through. The terroir will be expressed in the glass."
At his new vineyard, Rattlesnake Hills, O'Reilly inherited 12 acres of four different varieties of cherries. He plans to farm them organically for sale and can see products from the fruit. A talented chef who does most of the cooking for his family (and freezes meals when he is traveling in different markets across the country), O'Reilly said his wish lists include making organic cheeses.
O'Reilly sees the big picture in front of him, and has the patience to make the right decisions along the way, wait for the right timing and above all, spend the money to get the quality that he knows will pay off in the long run.
"I don't know when he sleeps," joked his assistant Matt Rice. "He is always on an even keel and optimistic. He is a unique guy."
David O'Reilly and Owen Roe Winery
September 2001
If there is such a thing as the luck of the Irish, winemaker Owen Roe Winery's David O'Reilly has found a pot of gold underneath his Willamette Valley, Oregon rainbow.
O'Reilly is a dapper man- meticulous in appearance and in his work. When he smiles, there is mischief in his eyes and smile crinkles-a sign that smiling is a frequent behavior.
Everything about Owen Roe that O'Reilly touches has to be the best. It is almost an obsession with him. From huge, gorgeous wines to hand-numbered bottles and objects of art gracing his labels, O'Reilly spends the money for a total package.
"Every thing we do is meticulous," said O'Reilly, 37, one of 12 children born in Belfast, Ireland. "What we do is totally uncompromised. It is a lifestyle that includes hard work, but the product is thoroughly rewarding."
Everything O'Reilly does is also thoroughly Irish. The wineries associated with O'Reilly- Owen Roe, O'Reilly's - have ties to his former homeland. Owen Roe was named for Owen Roe O'Neil, a great Irish patriot. O'Reilly's, features a drawing of a huge Irish wolfhound on the label.
" I like to tell people that I got involved in the business to follow an Irishman's dreams," said O'Reilly with a wink and an Irish brogue that comes and goes. "Imagine making a living by drinking!"
He jokes of course, because O'Reilly is dead serious about wine making. Although he enjoys the high ratings bestowed on his wines, O'Reilly says he is more satisfied with great taste.
From Harsh Life to Lush Life
The combination of his Irish heritage and obsession about being the best says a lot about the affable winemaker. His luck and his taste for the good life wasn't always granted.
As a young child in Belfast, the O'Reilly family-all 14-was of modest means. Life was harsh, and often violent as the family witnessed a depressing catalogue of death and injury due to sectarian violence.
Between 1966 and 1999, a total of 3,636 people were killed and 36,000 injured as the conflict spread beyond Northern Ireland's borders onto the British mainland and elsewhere, according to reports. Many of the victims were innocent civilians.
O'Reilly said two of his uncles were murdered, a sister suffered a traumatic injury, and one never knew when and where a homemade bomb would explode.His family scraped up enough money to move to British Columbia, Canada just before his teen years, and O'Reilly never looked back.
"I'm sure the past did have some impact on why I want the best from what I produce," O'Reilly said, thoughtfully. "I'm not like Frank McCourt in Angela's Ashes-I choose not to look back and dwell on the past."
On to Oregon
Instead, O'Reilly looked to the future, majoring in philosophy at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, CA, where he met his future wife, Angelica. It was there that he discovered a love of land and soil. He worked at a small winery in Southern California performing all the tasks necessary to get the wine out the door.
"If you want to study truth and reality, it's grounded in nature," O'Reilly said. "The wine business is drawn intrinsically to nature and soil. You don't get into this business to make a fortune-I was drawn to it."
For more than six years, O'Reilly worked for Elk Cove performing marketing tasks. However, he was leaning more and more about winemaking. The urge to make his own wine was singing inside his head. It was at this time that he met Peter Rosback, an amateur winemaker who helped the winery during crush.
Rosback was also bitten by the urge to produce wine. With Irish heritage and love of good wine in common, they struck a partnership and created Sineann.
"David has a great palate and is one of the best marketing people in the state," Rosback said. "We're a good team. Each of us brings talents to the table to produce the best wine we can. Of course, it starts with great fruit, and that also has to be the best we can get."
In addition to Sineann, Rosback also makes wines for Medici, where the owners allow Sineann to be produced. He also consults with O'Reilly on Owen Roe and O'Reilly's.
"Peter brings an irrepressible passion to everything he does," O'Reilly said. "I think that's why we are such good partners."
O'Reilly and Rosback left Elk Cove in 1998 to produce wines in relatively small quantities. While Sineann is produced at Medici, O'Reilly has a new winery to produce Owen Roe and O'Reilly's. He spends a great deal of time on the road, from spot to spot, overseeing vineyards. He and Rosback purchase grapesfrom the Willamette Valley to Hood River to Walla Walla and Columbia valleys in Washington state.
The good news comes in the form of a converted barn, his own facility for Owen Roe and O'Reilly's. Sineann will continue production at Medici for the time being.
"I will be happy to have one location to produce my wines," he added.

Need land,

need to touch land first,
falling behind,
row harder,
not going to make it,
grab my sword,
throw ashore,
touched land first.
Owen Roe's wood print label wines are have the same high quality and the fruit comes from the same sources. The wines are priced lower than the photogravure label wines. They include the Dubrul Riesling, the famous Abbot's Table, and the Columbia Valley Chardonnay.
The O'Reilly's label has an Irish Wolfhound engraving and the wines are great values. O'Reilly's Pinot noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot gris are all under $17.
Sharecroppers is a line of wines David made to celebrate the relationship with vineyard owners. He makes the wines in conjunction with the vineyard owners and they share the profit. Sharecroppers Pinot noir and Cabernet Sauvignon are rich and boldly flavored. Corvidae is a new line of value wines with unique labels, all related to the Crow. The Murphy's Law wines are a value label with red and white blends.
Owen Roe Winery's Chapel Block Red Willow Vineyard Syrah 07 received 97 points from Wine Spectator. Well deserved! Owen Roe's wines are the most popular on our website and rank in the Top Ten every year. Owen Roe makes wines under several labels.

Oh boy, this article was clearly comment bait.
It'll be interesting to see how smartphones evolve in the next four years.
(For the record, I called the election months ago with the statement that if Obama won, it would be because Romney sucks and not because Obama's actually a good president.)

Well, we''ve put all our faith in him , as he requested for another 4 years. If 8 years isn't enough for him, then there's something really wrong.

I didn't put any faith in him. I have no faith in him. That said, it's not like I had much for Romney either. It's like that South Park election episode where the school mascot election was down to a douche or a turd sandwich.......either way, the winner is just not good.....

No. He's a terrible president. Not more terrible than Bush, but terrible. Continuing wars, imprisoning Bradley Manning, pushing for "reforms" which are worse than the already s**tty status quo. There is not a single remarkable good thing he has done.

You have a right to that opinion, I just can't agree. The man isn't perfect by any means, but 4 years to clean up 30 years worth of crap is all he gets??? How about we see how far this recovery goes, see where the country stands, then judge him based on all 8 years of his presidency. I realize a lot of people will never give him credit for the millions of jobs he saved, the millions of jobs he's help to create, nor the millions of lives he will save with "Obamacare". But he's accomplished more in 4 years than some of his predecessor could accomplish in 8. But I'm not trying to argue, I'm just really happy Obama is still president.
30. chrisdistaz (Posts: 4; Member since: 07 Nov 2012)
Really? You are that uninformed??? Both Obama & Romney BOTH support indefinite detention of American Citizens through the NDAA sec 1031b without legal counsel or trial, Both support kill lists of American Citizens for connection of "terrorism" which can be anyone who disagrees with federal gov policy claiming a link to "terrorism", both are in support of some of the most basic violations of the natural rights of man.
How can you determine if someone is a "terrorist" if you haven't tried them in a court of law, how could you have a kill list and completely violate the rule of law by not arresting someone who has been accused and giving them a proper trial and just killing them instead.
The day has come where those Americans who TRULY believe in Liberty HAVE BECOME the enemy of the State because the State has become the enemy of Liberty.
Give me a break. You talk with such ignorance. This President and the President before were entire jokes to the founding principles located in the Declaration of Independence. You should read it some time... but, as the saying goes, MOST people don't want Liberty, they only want security and are willing to forgo their Liberty in place of security! Thomas Jefferson in a letter Dated Jan 1787 to James Madison said "I prefer dangerous Liberty to peaceful servitude". I AGREE!!!
Ben Franklin also noted that anyone who would give up essential Liberty for temporary security, deserves neither Liberty or security and will lose both.
Here's another quote from Patrick Henry: - - - - -
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." - - - - - -
But people like you support an Obama, or a Romney... wow, how far away from the principles of Liberty this country has come. To say we are doomed is an understatement.
31. chrisdistaz (Posts: 4; Member since: 07 Nov 2012)
Liberty is NEVER won with an election. It's something that lives in the hearts of the People of ANY location on this Earth or in this Universe.
Judge Learned Hand said:
"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it."
Again, this is WHY it DID NOT matter if Romney or Obama won. Neither of those candidates are even worthy of the Presidency. The most worthy possible candidate would have been Ron Paul.
John Adams wrote:
---The moment the idea is admitted into society, that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If "Thou shalt not covet," and "Thou shalt not steal," were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society, before it can be civilized or made free. ---
I would say we are already there. Government HAS become the biggest vehicle of theft and abuse of power used by the ruling class. Government has become the BIGGEST violator of the rights of Property. Which, for all intensive purposes, means that the Government itself has become Anarchic...
Another 4 years of the decline of Liberty and Freedom. Elections have become like sporting events.
Daniel Webster Jun 1, 1837 wrote:
"I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe . . . Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent, and they will be vigilant; give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy."
Again, how true and prophetic. To say i'm disappointed in this political system is an understatement. We have become the ruled, not the rulers, we have become the servants to government, not government serving the people, we have become the EXACT opposite to the original intent of the Declaration of Independence. What more is there to say???
32. chrisdistaz (Posts: 4; Member since: 07 Nov 2012)
One more thing, THERE IS NO RECOVERY --- OPEN YOUR EYES to THAT FACT!!!!
And what he has accomplished in 4 years is helping to BRING THE DEBT LEVEL OF THIS GOVERNMENT to a ridiculous unsustainable level where COLLAPSE of the financial system is INEVITABLE. Can't wait to see what you say when that happens!
Here's a hint for you .... DEBT IS NOT WEALTH!!!
Just because he creates more debt to give you an ILLUSION there is some sort of recovery, doesn't mean there's a recovery. THERE IS NO REAL RECOVERY! The system was built on debt and is in the process of collapsing... Creating debt is NOT creating wealth. They are OPPOSITES!
Responsibility is an Individual thing. That's why Liberty and Responsibility go hand in hand. You are judging this event like a sporting event. As you said, "Lets see what happens with all 8 years" ???? Really... you are def part of the problem. If the first 4 weren't enough to convince you there is a problem here... another 4 surely won't serve us any better...

MAN! you are so RIGHT! and just wait, the WORST is yet to come! and 'thick-headed' americans DO NOT know better! they only like the TUNE that FART Obama's stench is giving off! btw,, i noticed how many thumbs down you have, but you tell the truth and most people dont like to hear the truth! but they love Obama's stench!

Truly Obama isn't the problem and if you think he is then you're a ignorant fool.. It's the political game period.. Whether it's Romney, Obama, Joe blow whoever.. Regardless of the person in office the issues we're dealing with are gonna take more than 8yrs to fix. If each president believes that the last one before them wasn't doing a good job and changes the policies to what they feel is adequate and sufficient for the people it is only gonna do more harm than help. Think about this each president has their own agenda and some don't have the everyday person best interest at heart. The goverment is nothing more than a tool used to manipulate and dictate rules and regulations that they don't feel apply to them.. Stop blaming one person when it should be the system you question..

Seriously? We have lost net jobs under this administration, and the net gain/loss is all that matters. He may have created x amount of jobs, but when you lose y amount of jobs, and y > x, it sucks. And don't get me started on "Obamacare". In my family I've already seen the effects of Obamacare, and the results aren't good.
I just have to disagree with your entire statement man. That is your opinion, and you are more than welcom to it, but I do disagree.
44. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
and praytell what are these effects? I really do wonder. I have seen the effects too. I have seen my wife get the ability to be covered under my insurance from having previously been on her mom's insurance BECAUSE the insurance company could not deny her coverage anymore, thanks to Obamacare. Im really curious to see how Obamacare has screwed you over, since its been a boon for us.
52. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
Yea, I am serious. I go on the facts as I see them, not the slants, spin or talking points. But I'm sure you believe what you've heard are facts as well. We may not agree on what's true or right for this country, but I respect your approach. You didn't call anyone stupid or insult anyone, so +1 to you for that alone. Even though we disagree, LOL.
53. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
Insulting people accomplishes nothing but engendering hate and discouraging meaningful discussion. Meaningful discussion and respect for other people's opinions are two things that many people these days are greatly lacking.
I honestly use my dad for reliable sources on a lot of things, since he is retired and most of what he does is study politics as well as sports for our alma mater. My dad is probably identifies with the Libertarian party more than anything, as do I. He's also probably the most honest person I know.
43. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
wrong, "Obamacare" has already proven to save lives for people that couldnt previously get insurance. He repealed DADT. He got us out of Iraq like he promised. The american auto industry is strong again when at the time he took oath, they were on the brink of collapse. Obviously he has done SOME good things. Many not as many as we had hoped, we can argue about why that is all day long, but you cant take away the things I mentioned above.
49. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
My mother, father, and stepfather are both paying more for doctor's visits since Obamacare came into the picture. Treatment has gone up for them, and they have worked hard and served in the military.
I'm glad to hear it has helped some people, but as with most things, this is a double-edged sword. There are two sides to it, and one side can help some, while the other side hurts others.
As for the auto industry, I'll have to check some figures, but Ford seems to be doing well, and THEY DID NOT TAKE A DIME OF GOV'T MONEY! As for GM, they are still partially owned by the Feds. Last time I checked, gov't owned business aren't supposed to exist under our form of gov't.
Businesses must be allowed to stand or fall on their own practices. When a company becomes "Too big to fail", we have a serious problem. That said, the "too big to fail" problems when the housing bubble crashed were largely due to Congress and some seriously bad ideas that permeated both democrat and republican.
I'm done with this. Too much politics in the last 24 hours. I need a bottle of (insert alcohol here) and some comedies to take my mind off of this mess for a night.
55. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
See, that's what I mean. The misinformation that people are putting just because they don't like the president is simply astounding. Do you realize that it doesn't go into effect until 2014? How could they possibly be paying more for a law that will not go into effect for another year and some months? Their prices are rising because the insurance companies are plain old greedy.
And GM paid back the loan. The Feds are not in the business of making cars. I agree that the housing bubble is a 50/50 split because all the warning signs were ignored by people on both sides. But everything else is totally off.
13. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1163; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Well, for years now Americans have been choosing who they believe is the "lesser of two evils". Why can't we actually choose someone who we genuinely believe is good for us? Why do we believe that our choice should only be between two people from two parties?
It would be like saying you only have a choice between a Coca-Cola or a Pepsi when you would really much rather have a Dr. Pepper.
So long as we continue the two-party system, the longer we are going to just be choosing the lesser of two evils.
14. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
The trouble is that there are differing opinions on what is good for us. There are those who think somehow that Obama is anything other than a bad president, and those who somehow think that Romney would be better. Then there are those with logic who realize that if anybody in power will do some good, it's a Libertarian candidate. The trouble there is that Libertarians piss off Democrats in an economic sense and piss off Republicans in a social sense. They make almost nobody happy even though they're the closest to being a good thing for the country that we have.

Why thank you. I voted Johnson and I'm proud. Obama was the worst president in history... period. His reelection shows us just how STUPID the american public is..
And for all the republicans out there. You were up against a president with a worse record than Carter. By all judgements, Obama is the worst president in history. .without exception.. yet he was still electable and even won... Instead of blaming everyone else (they are stupid after all), you should look at why your platform cant even win against a moron, with quite literally american history's worst record.

Well, remixfa, it's not that black and white. While I believe the Federal Reserve is largely to be credited to the inflated economy numbers (DJI being at around 13,000 and the artificial increase in investment), it makes it look like it was Obama's doing. Hurricane Sandy also affected how people saw Obama as a leader. Then there was the poor debate performance by Romney in the second and third debates. So, I wouldn't say that was really the GOP as a whole's fault but more so it was poor choice of a candidate and just events that happened that people placed misdirected praise towards.
However, I will say that I too voted for Gary Johnson. I originally wanted to see Ron Paul win the nomination, but I just couldn't let myself vote between two people who really are the same person.

I think its quite easy to overlook the fact that bush was indeed the worst president in american history and given the fact that he pretty much "handed" obama a pile of mess to clean up after him, It is very easy to say "obama was no good and didnt do anything for us" but much harder to accept the truth that it really isnt his fault for "inheriting" such a problem as great as what bush left him.......Maybe somethings he has done was his fault no doubt but to put "all" the blame on just a man under that much pressure is just plain wrong bro......and I think we all know that but somehow refuse to admit it
22. GoodFella (Posts: 112; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Weak argument... Bush left a pile of crap, yup. Obama has done more to contribute to the pile of crap than to clean it up. He's gonna add more to it over then next four years. Romney would have added to it too.
23. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
well until america learns that the president is not "God" and start looking "to" God, to help the president WE (america) not obama, will continue to "add" to that pile of mess......peace to you bro and good night
46. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
looking "to" God is part of the reason we are where we are. We looked "to" God to elect dubya, on his stance for things like pro life. And how many laws did he propose, mcuh less pass, during his 2 terms for this? 0. How many did the GOP try to pass during his 2 terms? 0. How many since Obama's one term? Over 30. Why? GOP only cares about this issue to get in power, to get them elected. Once they are elected, they dont give a rip. The sooner you christians can realize this and back a candidate on the real issues rather than who says they're the most god fearing, the better off this country can be.
24. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1163; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Xperia-Knight, I think you need to add "inherited from Bush and a Democratic-controlled legislature" and I will agree with your statement. Don't forget, from the beginning of 2007 on, it was the Democrats who were creating laws.
Also, I understand that it's hard to deal with things that happened under a previous president, but it doesn't excuse yourself from having to do something about it. The truth of the matter is, the Democrats had control over both houses of Congress and the presidency for 2 years, but if you just look at what all they passed in those 2 years it was really nothing. In fact, the only ones you really hear about are the Healthcare Law and Dodd-Frank. Saturday Night Live, which as you know is normally more liberal minded considering what city they are in, even joked about what very little the Democrats passed in those 2 years. The deficit is still rising. We are still involved in foreign conflicts (Obama even involved our forces, though not ground forces, in Libya). Religious institutions are having to violate their conscience in offering something they morally object to. The NDAA was passed with a new law that allows the president to arrest any U.S. citizen he believes is involved with terrorism (with terrorism being very loosely defined). I mean these are serious issues that a lot of people don't really think about.
So, while I don't blame any one man for events that are outside of his control, I do hold the man to the fire that he created himself.
25. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
and right fully so Phil........but if you read my post again i did, infact say, he did somethings on his own, as did AND do, every other president AND every other man or women do things (mess up) on there own .....As good fella said, romney would have done the same......maybe not done what obama did in particular but any other president in his shoes would have done something that america would be enraged about........So the question is, if "man" is not the answer to americas delimma then what or WHO is?
26. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1163; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
I think GoodFella was trying to point out that Gary Johnson wouldn't have. I'm not going to make any assumptions though, so I'll let him clarify that.
If you honestly believe that Obama adds more to the pile as well as Romney, then why would you have voted for Obama? Why not put your vote towards someone else? I think that's the point we are trying to get at.
27. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
true but the point im making is that any other person will surely not "fix" america, as america seems to think.....the hole we are in is too deep for just one man to climb us out of........It will take america as a whole to put forth "effort" and the rest we must leave up to God.....Yes its true that america may get worse over these next four years but that's because america refuses to humble themselves and let God do what a man is unable to do........not because Obama or Romney isnt "fixing" us......Obama is there for americas sake not just for one area of america like, JUST THE UPPER CLASS, or "just" the middle class.......Hes there For AMERICA but once again he is NOT GOD.....so we must humble our selves and acknowledge God or we will continue to spiral downward

"Religious institutions are having to violate their conscience in offering something they morally object to." - Oh, but its fine that they can contribute to political candidates? That turns them into PACs, which means its time to tax them.

Thanks for your expert Karl Rovian analysis with mature name-calling. But I think your opinion is best on issues relating to tech. I don't think the "everyone is an idiot except me" argument holds water anymore. Your path to T-Mobile began under the previous administration, not the current one.
45. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
How do you justify him being the worst president? Other than the NDAA, you have nothing. And the NDAA is really just an extension of the Patriot Act, which we can think the previous incumbent for.

The best thing that could possibly happen with this country imo is for the states to take back a majority of the powers of the federal gov't. The federal gov't was never intended to be the supreme power in this country, yet has figured out how to become just that.
I say this b/c what is good and right for someone in, say, California, may not be the same thing for someone in, say, Mississippi, Ohio, or any other state.
I don't have all the answers to how to do this, nor do I have a political science degree, but the states were meant to have more power than the federal gov't. Our founding fathers feared an all powerful federal gov't, and at this point, that is pretty much what we have.
48. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
Perhaps. In matters such as economic, I agree with you, states should have the rights over the federal government. But when it comes to basic human rights like healthcare, and civil rights such as the right to get married ot same sex couples, states should have NO say on this, as doing so is a violation of the very first line of the declaration of independence, the document that birthed our nation.
As far as marijuana, I think that should be a state level thing, since its an economic issue.
51. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
I actually agree totally with that statement. As for healthcare, I do think some form of healthcare should be affordable to all, but one I just don't think this is it. If it has helped you, awesome, but at the same time, I already see it raising a larger burden on my parents for their needs in healthcare.

Who cares about BB10, Obama won and now we're in for a struggle. Im not really sure why the media sugarcoats our economy as doing better but in all reality its not. We're seeing companies such as Best Buy, RadioShack, HH Gregg, and Kmart/Sears far worse off now than 4 years ago. Even Amazon and WalMart had legit declines in their electronics department.
Unfortunately that's not all friends..
Now that Obama outspent Bush in half the time, we WILL see higher taxes. Even for us low income folk that are struggling more than ever. Obama's plan is yo raise taxes upto $3,500 even on the poor. But wait there's more! If your married like me and you don't have a lot of money (like me), you probably won't qualify for any kind of free healthcare once Obamacare takes affect. I won't
36. Reluctant_Human (Posts: 886; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
The testament of how good or bad a president truly is will only be determined a minimum of 20 years after his term. In the age we live in we expect everything instantaneously but that's not how it works in the real world. Short term fixes do not work. We need long term solutions which I believe Obama is working towards.
I'm not a democrat or republican just annoyed that people who voted for Bush a second term are crying about Obama. HIstory will show Obama to be a good president in his first term and hopefully more so in his second term.
What happened to flag waving nutcases saying Bush is our president, show some respect and if you don't like it you can get out? Well I grant those people the same courtesy.

SSCH is an acronym meaning "so sad...crying here." It is often used to describe one's feelings after watching a sad film, listening to Elliott Smith, or attending their grandmother's funeral. It originated from a comment on a Taylor Swift video in which a woman commented, "So sad...crying here."
Jacob: I went to Zorba's last night and I got bummed out because my bro Syc wasn't there.
Kyrstin: SSCH, babe. You'll be okay...pussy.

SALEM - The state Auditor's office pulled the plug on loan funding for a proposed performance audit for Salem, but Mayor John Berlin said he's still in favor of getting the audit done.
"I'm disappointed, but we just go down a different path," he said Wednesday.
He notified city council members and city officials in an email Dec. 21 and said he stressed that a performance audit could still be done, they just wouldn't have the loan to do it.
Berlin received a letter dated Dec. 20 from Danny Cecil, director of the Ohio Performance Team of the Auditor's office, advising the state would be unable to proceed with the Leverage for Efficiency, Accountability and Performance Fund loan at this time.
"One of the objectives of LEAP is to ensure the funds go where they are needed and that they have the greatest possible impact for taxpayers. During the past 18 months, interest in LEAP loans and performance audits generally has been increasing," the letter said.
The state's decision came after the state reviewed a letter the city sent dated Nov. 29 to tighten up the language for the terms of the proposed performance audit outlined in a revised letter of arrangement the state had sent. The language revisions related to the cost savings and the audit cost were hashed out during a Committee of the Whole meeting of city council on Nov. 27.
The state had estimated the audit would cost up to $71,700, but under the arrangement, the city would only pay the amount of expected savings identified through audit recommendations up to $71,700. If less savings were found, the city would pay less. The LEAP Fund loan would have deferred the cost of the audit for up to a year.
Berlin said he didn't feel the state would be able to find savings totaling $71,700. He hasn't talked to anyone from the auditor's office, but said when they started to investigate "maybe they felt they couldn't justify having auditors come and do the audit and not get paid."
He also said that maybe there were some changes the city requested that the state felt would limit the savings, but he noted that those changes were discussed with the representative of the auditor's office and he indicated to go ahead.
"I don't think anybody thought that would cause them to rescind (the loan offer)," Berlin said.
The Finance Committee of city council had recommended in June to apply for the LEAP funding. The scope of the audit included looking at administration operations, public safety, public works and parks and recreation. The idea was to have an independent eye look at how the city operates and make recommendations for ways to save money if any could be found. The agreement noted that any savings identified would exclude negotiated compensation. The city has contracts with four unions covering firefighters, police, utility workers and service department workers.
City council had not voted yet on whether to accept the LEAP funding and go forward with the audit since the language for the arrangement with the state had not been finalized.
Councilman Dave Nestic, who serves as chairman of the Committee of the Whole and serves on the Finance Committee, said council has a decision to make on whether to go forward with a performance audit without the benefit of the loan. He also said there are other options, noting there are other people who can do the same type of work or they could talk to the auditor's office about their options.
He said it's something council will need to discuss. He'll likely talk with the mayor and they'll explore options to be brought up and have a Committee of the Whole meeting to discuss them.
"An outside audit is just good practice. Benchmarking against operations that are known to be good is a common business practice that would benefit the city," he said.
Nestic found it interesting that the state decided to rescind the funding after getting the city's letter, saying "we offered just a tightening up of the language." He said they wanted to clarify that the city couldn't be held accountable for savings the city can't control.
He said it was his understanding that the auditor's office indicated other cities were in greater need. He said Salem isn't in dire shape, but they wanted to take advantage of a program to have another party audit the operation to see if there could be any savings. He said the purpose of the state program as he understood it was to help cities.
"It's their decision. I'm personally not happy with it, also not surprised," Nestic said.
Council has been talking about a performance audit for a couple of years and in the fall of 2011, voted 4-3 against accepting LEAP funding and going forward with the audit. With some of those council members gone, council in 2012 raised the issue again.
In the recent rejection letter, the state auditor's office encouraged the city to reapply for LEAP funding if it would be of benefit.

Art & Design
We believe that art has a unique power to change our world, to make it a more beautiful, generous, rich, and open place. We are convinced that the world needs not only artists, but Christian artists who in their talent and power of creative expression proclaim the glory of the Creator.
Art & Design
ACU Art & Design students learn from award-winning artists who actively produce and exhibit their creative work. These artists are also experienced educators - educators who love to teach because they love what they teach; who teach by what they do as well as by what they say; who motivate, inspire, nurture, and mentor aspiring artists and designers. These faculty equip students to think creatively, to find creative solutions to difficult problems, to courageously accept challenges and overcome them, and to use their tools, skills, and passion to reflect God's creativity to the world.
Project Merge: Home makeover helps local family
For many students at ACU, service to the community has been an integral part of their college experience. Like any town, Abilene has plenty of people who just need a helping hand. A group of students in the Department of Art and Design have come up with a way to help out the best way they know how - by applying the skills learned in their classes.

Get Safe
On average one person drowns in the UK every 17 hours. The ASA's Get Safe campaign seeks to ensure your child isn't one of them.
If you are interested in your child attending a Get Safe event then please check with your local pool to see if they are running an event in 2015.Drowning is the third highest cause of accidental death among children with more than half of incidents happening at rivers, lakes, canals and reservoirs.
To help reduce these figures the ASA runs a water safety awareness campaign Get Safe.
The campaign helps pools across the country organise activity sessions which teach children resuscitation skills, how to spot dangers and how to act in an emergency.
The water safety awareness campaign Get Safe highlights that knowledge of water safety is incredibly important and that swimming is the only sport that can save your life.
The campaign raises awareness of:
- The importance of learning to swim and having water confidence.
- Practical water safety and self rescue skills.
- The knowledge that organised, supervised water-based activity is fun and safe.
- The fact that swimming is a key part of a healthy lifestyle and a great family activity
Tell your children they can learn more about water safety in our under16s section here.

Free-agent tight end Fred Davis told the Buffalo Bills on Thursday he is confident his Achilles tendon injury will be healed in time for next season.
Davis, a five-year veteran of the Washington Redskins, had his second meeting in a week with the Bills. The first was at dinner in Washington, D.C. Thursday's meeting was at One Bills Drive. He left without signing a contract. He was scheduled to visit the New York Jets today, but several media reports late Thursday had him canceling that visit.
Davis tore his left Achilles tendon in a game Oct. 21. He had surgery that same week, performed by foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C. Some players with Achilles tendon injuries can be out 10 to 12 months. Some return sooner. Baltimore Ravens pass rusher Terrell Suggs, whose Achilles was repaired by Anderson last March, was out only five months before returning to help the Ravens win the Super Bowl. Suggs played about 50 snaps a game the last 12 games of Baltimore's season.
"I'm way ahead of schedule," Davis said. "I don't know what it is for most guys, but I went to the best doctor in the country – Anderson. Actually Terrell Suggs had the surgery and he came back in five months and played the last few games. Depending on how bad your Achilles was, it depends. I'm on month 4ø right now, and I'm already running on the treadmill, doing drills. So I think I'll be way ahead of schedule."
The Redskins also would like him back but don't have much money under the salary cap.
"This is a business," Davis said. "You have to see all your options before you make a decision. I won't make any fast decisions. I'll wait and see. I'll make sure I'm all the way confident in what I want to do and go from there."
Davis caught 59 passes in 12 games in 2011. He was suspended the final four games because he violated the NFL's substance abuse policy. Another violation of the policy would prompt a season-long suspension. Davis had 23 catches in the first six games of last season before getting hurt early in the seventh game.
Davis said he would be comfortable catching passes from a rookie quarterback in Buffalo.
"They're scouting for guys right now," he said, asked to assess the Bills' QB situation. "I think they probably might draft someone. I don't know for sure, but I think that's the direction they're headed. So I would be confident in that. I think there's some good guys in the draft right now, and they have a high pick. So I feel confident they'll probably make a good decision in that area."
"I think the tight end definitely will be a main factor in this offense," Davis said of the Buffalo attack.

CHARLESTON - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's education proposal arrived at the House of Delegates on Monday after the Senate agreed to last-minute changes pushed by groups representing teachers and school workers.
As amended, the measure passed unanimously by the Senate scraps the governor's invitation of the nonprofit Teach for America program into state classrooms. Lawmakers would instead study ways to offer alternative paths for certifying teachers.
To ensure 180 days of student instruction, Tomblin had proposed freeing up 12 days in the school calendar now assigned for other uses. Mondays changes would set aside six of those days for outside-of-school activities, but would also permit the use of those days to make up for snow days. Weather routinely leaves county schools short of state law's 180-day mandate.
The Senate kept the governor's language ending teacher pay for snow days, and allows counties to add days from outside of the calendar to reach 180 days. For that goal, and to permit "balanced" or year-round school calendars, Monday's bill also expands the annual employment period to 48 weeks from 43 weeks.
The Senate also expanded the factors to be considered when teachers and administrators are hired, from Tomblin's proposed eight to 11. Seniority remains on the list, joined by national certification. The Senate tweaked other proposed factors that include specialized training relevant to the job sought, past evaluations and "other measures or indicators."
Recommendations from principals and faculty senates would be separate criteria among those factors. County school boards could weigh the 11 factors as they choose - unless applicants for a classroom teaching post include already-employed educators. In such cases, the factors must be given equal weight except for the principal and faculty senate recommendations, which would receive double weight.
Monday's amendment further guarantees a classroom teaching job to the applicant who wins both those recommendations as well as the county superintendent's.
"We've made a lot of progress, and we do have a bill that I feel very strongly ... does what we needed to do to move this state forward," Senate Education Chair Robert Plymale, D-Wayne, told colleagues before Monday's vote.
The bill also reflects Tomblin's goals of ensuring that every 3rd-grader ends that year reading at grade level, and that high school students enter their senior year ready for college or career training. It offers loan forgiveness to teachers assigned to subjects or parts of the state with critical shortages. It would pay the $1,150 renewal fee for teachers with vaunted national certification.
The Senate also kept Tomblin's proposed rewrite of the school accreditation process, and his call for public meetings before county boards draw up a new school calendar. Its passage of the bill followed talks with House lawmakers and groups representing teachers. Those organizations applauded Monday's changes, as did Tomblin.
"I'm pleased all of my goals remain intact and I look forward to working with members of the House and stakeholders in the coming days," the governor said in a statement.
House Speaker Rick Thompson assigned the bill to a single committee, House Education, for review. With the session ending April 13, Thompson pledged quick House action. The Wayne County Democrat praised Plymale, House Education Chair Mary Polling and others for Monday's changes.
"My understanding is, this is a consensus bill," Thompson said. "There are a lot of good things for education."
House Democrats and Republicans expect to discuss the bill Tuesday when they hold separate closed-door caucus meetings.
The November election gave the GOP 46 of 100 seats in the House, and Minority Leader Tim Armstead said delegates should be given time to touch base with constituents about the amended bill.
"We want to make sure there's still autonomy within the school systems to make hiring and firing decisions, and to make sure (the bill) does give back more local control," said Armstead, R-Kanawha. "That's very important to our caucus and I think very important to the state of West Virginia."
Tomblin drafted the bill following a wide-ranging audit that described a public schools system rigid with bureaucracy and laws, but with poor results for students. The governor also plans to issue executive orders and has enlisted the state Board of Education to pursue other measures as part of his quest to overhaul the system.
The Senate also kept language sought by the state board for its quest to conduct a national search for a state schools superintendent. That part of the bill would continue to require a master's degree for that post, but it would no longer have to be in education administration.

Strauss lavished some of his most heavenly music on the mythic tale of Daphne, the comely shepherd-girl who escapes Apollo's clutches through a transfiguration of amazing theatricality.
Apollo insulted Cupid by mocking his skill as an archer. In revenge, Cupid fired two arrows, one sharp and tipped with gold, the other blunt and tipped with lead. The golden arrow had the power to create insatiable lust in whomever it struck, which turned out to be Apollo. The leaden arrow caused a hatred of all things romantic, and it struck Daphne. Soon afterwards, Apollo sees Daphne…
The Story of the Opera
Four shepherds are discussing the upcoming feast of Dionysus, traditionally the time for the mating of young couples. Daphne describes her immense love of nature, identifying herself with the trees and the flowers around her. The prospect of the festival gives her no pleasure. Leukippos wishes to accompany her to the celebration and tries to embrace her. She refuses, characterizing her affection to him as sisterly. Her mother, Gaea, overhears part of the conversation and warns Daphne that she will eventually learn to love. Daphne refuses to wear the dress that Gaea has brought her. Two maidens, determined to help Leukippos win Daphne's love, dress him in the clothes that she rejected, so he can secretly join the group of women at the feast.
Daphne's father Peneios prophesies that the day will come when the gods will return and dwell among men. In spite of the protests from the shepherds, he affirms his belief that Apollo will appear to them. A stranger appears, dressed as a herdsman. Gaea and the shepherds mock Peneios for this mundane realization of his prophecy. The mysterious herdsman is amazed by Daphne's beauty. When she asks who he is, he explains that he saw her from his chariot and repeats phrases from her opening monologue. She rejoices in his promise that she will never again be parted from the sun, but tears herself free when his advances become passionate.
A procession approaches, led by Peneios and Gaea. Daphne joins the women and the herdsman joins the men. The feast begins and the disguised Leukippos invites Daphne to join in the dancing. Suddenly the stranger cries out that Peneios and his daughter are the victims of deception—Leukippos is really a suitor for Daphne's hand. The herdsman then reveals himself as Apollo and in the dispute that follows mortally wounds Leukippos.
Daphne blames herself for the death of the young man. Apollo asks Dionysus to forgive him for having caused the death of one of his followers. He begs Zeus to be given Daphne, not in mortal form, but as one of the trees she loves so much. In the future, men will cut the wreaths reserved for the bravest from her branches. As Daphne is gradually transformed into a laurel tree, her voice is heard celebrating her immortal form.

Welcome to Academic Advising!
Academic advising is an interactive partnership between you and professional staff and faculty that supports your educational experience. All degree-seeking students are assigned an advisor. Advisors are available to assist non-degree seeking students as well. Advisors can assist with a wide range of needs, including but not limited to:
- Identifying academic and career goals
- Exploring and choosing degree programs
- Helping with course selection, building a schedule and registration
- Connecting to useful resources
- Help navigate university systems
Advisors support student learning by teaching skills through which students develop knowledge and values that empower them to reach their academic and life goals. Plan to meet with your advisor every semester.
"I cannot stress how important meeting with an academic advisor is - early and often in your college career. Your academic advisor can help you assemble an efficient schedule that will allow you to graduate in the least amount of time, saving you incredible amounts of money and frustration. My advisor was an advocate for me." -- UAS Student Brandon Howard
Juneau Campus: Mourant Bldg
Ketchikan Campus: Ziegler Bldg
All new students (freshman and transfer) are required to meet with an advisor each semester until they reach 30 college credits. Mandatory Advising is a key program at UAS to assist students in creating the good habit of connecting with their advisor early and often.
When you receive your admissions certificate, you will receive contact information to reach an advisor. You are also welcome to call our toll free number (877-465-4827) and our Peer Advisors can assist you.
While you may see an advisor at any stage in your path to enroll at UAS, new and transfer students are encouraged to prepare for their first meeting with an advisor by:
- Applying for admissions (prior to first semester of attendance)
- Take placement tests * (prior to first semester of attendance)
- Prepare a list of questions, concerns, interests and goals
- Review the semester course schedule
*Transfer students gain a tremendous amount of information from meeting with advisors early to understand how their credits may apply at UAS.
The admissions and advising teams work together to welcome all interested international students to UAS and assist them with the process of getting admitted and enrolled in classes.
Marsha Squires is the International Student Advisor. Incoming international students should follow the admissions process. Returning international students should prepare for meetings with Marsha by:
- Reviewing the upcoming semester course schedule
- Preparing a list of questions, concerns, interest and goals
International students are required to meet with their advisor each semester in order to maintain immigration status.
UAS welcomes students under the age of 18 who are ready for college-level work to enroll in many of our classes. There are three different options to choose from. Please review carefully.
Tech Prep
Tech Prep students are enrolled in a UAS course taught under an articulated agreement between the school district and UAS. Tech Prep students should register for Tech Prep classes at their high schools.
Visit the Tech Prep website for more information.
Dual Enrollment
A dual enrollment student is one who is simultaneously enrolled in a high school curriculum and also is taking courses at UAS. The courses that the student takes at UAS may be used to fulfill high school graduation requirements. The purpose of dual enrollment is to provide high school students with access to coursework that is not available in Alaska high schools. Examples include academic courses that are more advanced than those offered in high schools and various vocational and technical programs that high schools are not equipped to teach. See enrollment procedures below.
Other Underage Students
Students who have withdrawn from high school prior to graduation and have not completed a GED but wish to take classes at UAS qualify as non-degree seeking students and can enroll in classes at UAS. See enrollment procedures below.
Enrollment Policies for Dual Enrollment and Other Underage Students
- Underage students must have a cumulative high school grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 to be eligible for enrollment at UAS. Exceptions to the 3.0 GPA requirements may be approved by the instructor.
- Underage students may register for no more than seven credits per semester.
- Pre-college courses (numbered 050-099) are not open to enrollment by underage students. These courses cover pre-college coursework that should be first obtained in a student's high school curriculum. Exceptions may be approved by the instructor.
- Underage students must meet the same course pre-requisites that are required of other students.
- Underage students are required to abide by the Student Code of Conduct at all times.
Enrollment Procedures for Dual Enrollment and Other Underage Students
- Meet with an advisor from the Student Resource Center in Juneau, the Student Services Manager in Ketchikan, or Student Services Advisor in Sitka to discuss the goals, risks, and rewards of enrollment in college courses.
- Submit high school transcripts that reflect a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0. A new transcript is required for each semester.
- Take Accuplacer assessments for initial placement in Math and English courses. Scores from SAT or ACT tests taken within the past year may be substituted for English only.
- Complete the Dual Enrollment and Underage Student Registration form (460KB), which includes signatures of the student, parent, high school counselor (if appropriate), UAS advisor, and instructor. Students under 16 will also be required to have the appropriate Dean's signature. Note: Instructor signature is required; it indicates faculty approval but does not guarantee admittance into a course.
- Complete an Education Record Information Release form (FERPA) in order for UAS officials to be able to speak to parents and counselors about the student's academic progress, registration status, student account, and student affairs record.
- Submit required forms to registrar's office and pay tuition and fees or provide proof of other funding source. Note: Students (and their parents) are responsible for the cost of tuition, fees, books, and other required materials.
- Dual enrolled students cannot be waitlisted for a course if the course is full.

American Douglas Metals plans to move its aluminum and steel processing operations from the Town of Tonawanda to a much bigger site in Buffalo in a $2.9 million project that is expected to create 11 new jobs over the next two years.
American Douglas, a family-owned business that makes and processes aluminum and steel products at plants in Tonawanda, Orlando, Fla., and Atlanta, will nearly triple its space by moving to the vacant Millcraft facility at 99 Bud Mill Drive.
The Erie County Industrial Development Agency approved $49,000 in sales and mortgage tax breaks for the project on Monday. The company also could seek property tax incentives if the project results in an increase in the $1.6 million assessment on the property, said Karen Fiala, the IDA's assistant treasurer.
American Douglas executives said the company needed to move from its current 30,000-square-foot location on Henderson Avenue in the Town of Tonawanda because the company's rapid growth requires it to expand their operations, but its current site does not have room for an expansion.
The company's new Buffalo location will have almost three times as much space – 87,000-square-feet – and ECIDA officials said the project is expected to increase American Douglas' work force from 21 today to 32 in two years.
Because the project involves tax breaks that support the move of a company from one Erie County municipality to another, Town of Tonawanda Supervisor Anthony Caruana was consulted on the project and said he had no objections.
Caruana said Town of Tonawanda officials had worked with the company to try to find a suitable site for expansion in the town but were unable to find one. The cost of acquiring and demolishing properties next to its Henderson Avenue plant made it too expensive to expand at that location, and no other sites in the town met American Douglas' requirements, he said.
"This is a good opportunity for them," Caruana said. "The good news is that they're staying in Erie County."

When it comes to pain, I prefer to suffer in silence, as long as everyone knows I am suffering. The other night I was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep because of horrible discomfort. My groans and moans woke my wife who asked: "Have you given birth; where are the triplets?"
I gathered the strength to speak. "I have a cut on the tip of my tongue and every time it its hits my teeth, it hurts. I can't sleep."
The woman who vowed to love me in sickness and in health rolled over, pulled the covers over her head and said there was ibuprofen in the kitchen cupboard.
"My body is a temple and I don't like to take painkillers," I protested. "Besides, I can't swallow those horse pills."
She sighed deeply: "Honey, your body is more like a cathedral and horse pills should be no problem for a man of your stature. Now, take two bottles and everything will be fine." I'm sure she meant to say, "take two pills."
It is a myth that women handle pain better than men. My mother always said that if men had the babies, every child would be an only child. On the contrary, it is not a gender issue; it is a sensitivity issue. Some of us are more attuned to our bodies, while the rest are insensitive clods who wouldn't cry out if they caught their finger in a paper shredder.
Stoicism is so overrated. Nature endowed some of us with a low threshold of pain to ensure our fine genes would be passed on; survival of the faint of heart.
I padded downstairs and went to the cupboard where we put everything that has no place: batteries, Band-Aids, shoelaces and all the office supplies I pilfered from work. I searched for something to relieve my agony and found a little jar of a topical anesthetic called Hurricane that we used on the kids when they were teething; it would numb their entire heads. When I finally got the 20-year-old jar open, I found the stuff had hardened to rock. I was beginning to panic.
The pain in my mouth was ceaseless. I was getting delirious when I spotted a bottle of Irish whiskey hidden behind a pile of undeveloped disposable cameras. We probably hid the booze there when the boys were "mischievous" teenagers. The label said the stuff had not only alcohol, but "honey gathered o'er the fields of Erin by fairies." How could I go wrong? I poured a large tumbler, sat down at the kitchen table and stuck my tongue in the golden liquid.
After a few minutes, I tired of holding the glass to my lips, so I set it on the table and bent over, continuing to anesthetize my poor tongue. I looked like a demented Winnie the Pooh with my face in the honey jar.
At this point, my wife walked in. "What are you doing?" she asked, sounding nothing like Florence Nightingale. "I am oaking my ungue in iskey" I said. She opened her mouth to say something, thought better of it and headed back to bed; so much for better or for worse.
I assessed my situation. I could no longer feel my tongue; I was pain-free. Not wanting to waste the fine liqueur, I slowly drank down the entire glass. Soon, I couldn't feel my toes. Gingerly, I made my way back upstairs. As I climbed into bed my wife asked, "Is that you, Bob?"
"Who the hell else would it be?" I slurred.
"A girl can dream," she answered. "Now go to sleep."

Ticket holders for Green Day's musical American Idiot Tuesday night in New York City didn't just get a Broadway play -- they got a Green Day concert!
Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong made his acting debut at the show, playing the role of St. Jimmy in the Tony Award-winning adaptation of the punk band's namesake 2004 album. Watch video of his performance below!
Tuesday's show was the first in an eight-night run for Armstrong, who is filling in for actor Tony Vincent, who is on a leave of absence due to a personal family matter. In the role of the drug-dealing St.
