Progress on reducing runway incursions is impeded by a lack of leadership in the FAA as well as technology challenges, a
Congressional committee was told by Gerald Dillingham, of the Government Accountability Office, on Wednesday. Dillingham's report also cited NTSB concerns about air traffic controller fatigue, which
may result from regularly working overtime. The House Subcommittee on Aviation convened the hearing
to discuss how runway safety can be improved. AOPA President Phil Boyer said his group will commit to expanding programs to educate pilots in 2008, but the FAA also needs to do more to make runway
safety "a national priority." The FAA said it is expediting its certification process to get better equipment into cockpits faster. "We are actively working on an application from Jeppesen [for a GPS
moving-map system], and we expect they will complete certification soon," the FAA said in a fact sheet
released on Tuesday.
The Congressional panel also heard testimony from spokesmen for the NTSB, NATCA, the Air Line Pilots Association, Honeywell, and airport advocacy groups. The FAA's Hank Krakowski, chief operating
officer of the Air Traffic Organization, said the agency will create a new Runway Council Working Group to identify and address the issues.
Piston single sales continue to buck the trend in a generally robust general aviation industry. The General Aviation
Manufacturers Association released its annual statistics (PDF) on aircraft deliveries, and piston
aircraft sales were down slightly at 2,675, compared to 2,755 in 2006. Business jets simply blew away other sectors in all aspects. "Aside from the record set for year-end billings, the industry also
experienced an all-time high in business jet shipments, delivering over 1,000 units for the first time in history," GAMA reported. In fact, business jets accounted for more than 25 percent of the
impressive total of 4,272 aircraft sold in 2007, with 1,186 delivered. The business jet tally was up 28.4 percent over 2006's total of 886. Turboprop numbers were also up at 459 compared to 412 last
Cessna sold a total of 807 piston aircraft (including one each of the Columbia derived 350 and 400 models). The 172 accounted for almost half of the piston sales at 373 but the 182 wasn't far
behind at 301. Cirrus sold 710 aircraft and its SR22 was by far the most popular aircraft model with 588 deliveries. On the business jet front Cessna delivered a total of 388. The most popular was the
XLS (82), followed by the CJ3 (78). Cessna shipped 45 entry-level Mustangs in 2007, a number that will go up considerably this year as production ramps up in Independence. Cessna sold by far the most
airplanes, a total of 1,274 piston, turboprop and jet aircraft. But the $3.9 billion derived from those sales was far behind the money leader. Bombardier's 226 deliveries were worth $5.2 billion.
Gulfstream, with 136 deliveries, collected $4.8 billion. Hawker Beechcraft sold 351 aircraft, most of them jets and King Airs, and took in revenue of almost $1.9 billion.
There appears to be little optimism among aviation industry leaders that Adam Aircraft will be resurrected. Sources
speaking on condition of anonymity have told AVweb that the prevailing opinion is that the company will fold. Adam officials are expected to reach a decision on the future by the end of this week
after suspending operations on Monday. Hours after being sent home, employees gathered JD's Bait Shop Sports Grill were relatively upbeat. According to the Denver Post, rather than crying in their beers, the 20 or so Adam employees there expressed hope that someone with money will
see the company they way they do. "We're all here tonight because we love this company," quality control worker Ray Romero told the Post. "We want to be there, but there's no money. We're a privately
funded company. We have a beautiful product." About 500 remaining workers got the word after lunch on Monday that Adam had failed to raise the $100 million it needs to get the A700 jet certified and
in production and to ramp up production of the already-certified A500 piston twin. Adam spokeswoman Shelly Simi also held out hope that funding could be found. "It's a very dynamic situation. We are
looking at alternatives," she told AVwebBiz in a phone interview. A final decision on the fate of the company is expected within a week.
In a news release, Adam said it was forced to close the doors "due to the inability of the company to come to terms with their lender for funding necessary to maintain business operations." The
news release doesn't identify the lender but previous rounds of financing, totaling almost $300 million, have included such major investment houses as Goldman, Sachs and Co. and Hunt Growth Capital as
participants. In January, Adam announced that it needed $30.5 million in interim financing to allow its current financial partner, Citibank, the time to find the $75 million to $150 million it needed
to get into production and start selling against a backlog of orders the company estimated to be worth $1 billion, according to some reports. In a letter to shareholders leaked to the media in late
January, CEO John Wolf said that if the company didn't have the $30.5 million by the end of January, the company was likely doomed.
As little as a week ago, company officials were claiming that the search for funding was continuing and that production of the fifth A700 jet was under way. The jet has not achieved FAA
certification but the A500 push/pull piston twin has. Adam has reportedly sold 17 of the piston aircraft and delivered seven. Meanwhile, the city of Pueblo, Colo., didn't wait for Monday's
announcement to demand $2 million in incentives it says should be returned. The city says Adam promised to create 448 jobs and actually created about 90, most of which disappeared in a round of
layoffs and plant consolidations in January. The city of Pueblo has placed liens against Adam's equipment in the city-owned buildings that were part of the incentive package.

Lawyers from across the country are busily rallying former students of Nevada-based Silver State Helicopters, which abruptly went out of business and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection two weeks ago.
As many as 2,700 students paid about $70,000 each for the proposed 18-month training program, which many never completed. Peter C. Lown, an aviation attorney from Jonesboro, Ga., told AVweb
that last weekend he met with about 150 potential plaintiffs in Arizona and plans to meet with a similar group in Georgia this weekend. He plans to file suits against Silver States founder Jerry
Airola and, possibly, the banks that lent students money. "One of the problems is that many of these people dont know what kind of loan they have," Lown said. As of Wednesday afternoon, Student
Loan XPress, the primary originator of student loans to Silver State students, had not filed a claim with the bankruptcy court and did not respond to repeated requests by AVweb for information
about the number and type of outstanding loans made to Silver State students. It is not known how many of the loans were private loans and how many, if any, were federally guaranteed, but Lown told
AVweb that some of the people hes spoken with were paying 17 percent interest or more.
While the bankruptcy trustee spends the coming months poring through thousands of claims (it has a special hotline established just for this case), former students and employees are posting to
message boards and telling AVweb that signs of the companys impending demise began to surface in October 2007.
Jimmie "Tri" Evans was the first student enrolled at the Houston location when it opened in 2006. He told AVweb that around the time that he earned his instructors certificate last
fall, rumors began to spread internally that the company was in trouble. "Some people had started to get the indication that it might be occurring, then we were sent e-mails that it was just a rumor,
and not to worry," he said. Evans said that at one point the Houston school had 60 students and just one helicopter that had to be ferried 130 miles away to Silver States New Braunfels, Texas,
location for maintenance. "We couldnt fit everybody into the helicopters we had. I remember flying until midnight or at four in the morning because thats when they had a helicopter," Evans
The FAA is presenting its 2007 Excellence in
Aviation Research Awards to Professor Ian Waitz at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and to a U.S. Air Force fuel research team. "Aviation needs to continue to get greener," said FAA
spokesman Dan Elwell. "Dr. Waitz and the Air Force team are taking the steps to put a big dent in aviations environmental footprint. Their work is going to make a difference across the face of
our entire planet." Waitz and his research team are working on ways to reduce air and noise pollution from aviation. The U.S. Air Force team has developed a synthetic fuel blend for the B-52 fleet.
The blended fuel has less exhaust smoke and fewer particulate emissions than standard fuel.
The synthetic fuel is not only cleaner, but could potentially save millions of dollars and reduce dependence on foreign sources of oil, the FAA said. This is the 10th year that the Excellence in
Aviation Research Award has been presented. The awards are given to individuals and/or institutions outside the FAA whose research contributions have resulted in a significantly safer, more efficient
national airspace system.
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation announced on
Tuesday that the FAA has awarded type certification to its newest aircraft, the light-midsize Hawker 750.
The Hawker 750 has the same fuselage and wings as the midsize Hawker 800 series, providing the largest cabin in the light-midsize aircraft segment, the company says. The new model aims to reach new
customers for the company, and is already sold out through 2010. "This aircraft has the perfect combination of reliability and operating efficiency, while incorporating a large luxurious cabin with
internal and external baggage areas," said Brad Hatt, president, Commercial Aircraft. The 750, which can carry up to eight passengers, has a 2,116-nm NBAA IFR range.
It will be driven by two Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines. Prices start at $12.2 million.
How will operators use the advanced weather information and tools promised by the Next Generation Air Transportation
System (NextGen)? The Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) hosted a conference in Washington, D.C., this week to collect ideas
on the matter from various government and industry subject matter experts. More than 200 people attended.
Were living in a system where we operate at capacity or where weather forces demand to exceed capacity, said Ken Leonard, director of the FAAs Aviation Weather Office.
Weather accounts for 70 percent of all flight delays now, he said, but with improved coordination and dissemination of weather data among pilots and air traffic controllers that number could be
The NextGen concept envisions a system where aircraft are electronically networked, sharing data with each other and with air traffic control in a carefully orchestrated dance. But today,
everybodys out there in bad weather doing their own thing, and honestly that doesnt work, said Kirk Shaffer, FAA associate administrator for airports. Jim May, president of the
Air Transport Association, said that airlines are spending more than $1 billion a year dealing with weather delays. Phil Boyer, president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, said that while
many general aviation aircraft are far better equipped to receive and display weather information than some airliners, affordability is key when it comes to delivering on the promises of
Two power-boosting changes for Mooney aircraft by Midwest Modifications have
been granted STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) approval from the FAA, the company announced on Tuesday. One STC allows the company to modify the 280-hp turbocharged engine of the Mooney Acclaim to
increase the maximum power to 310 hp. With this change, Midwest says, the Mooney Acclaim and Acclaim Type S versions will take off with a shorter roll, climb at a higher rate and reach top speed
faster. Midwest Modifications also won FAA approval to install the Hartzell composite propeller for three Mooney models -- M20R, S, and TN. The composite propeller is about 16 pounds lighter than the
metal prop and offers a boost in climb performance, the company said.
Midwest Modifications is located in Flora, Ill.
The National Aviation Hall of Fame will host the First Annual Reel Stuff Film Festival of Aviation on April 24-26 in Dayton,
Ohio. The series of eight classic and contemporary Hollywood productions and documentary films will celebrate aviation history and the passion for flight. Each movie will be introduced by an actor,
producer, aerial coordinator or cinematographer associated with its production, and an audience question-and-answer session will follow. Actor Cliff Robertson will introduce the 1964 drama "633
Squadron," and aviator Clay Lacy will introduce the 1986 hit "Top Gun" and the 2005 IMAX film "Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag." Lacy was a pioneer in developing the air-to-air cinematic techniques
used in both films.
The other films will be the classics "Battle Hymn" and "Battle of Britain," and the documentaries "One Six Right," "Pancho Barnes!" and "Speed and Angels." A schedule of Reel Stuff showtimes and
locations, ticket prices (about $10 per film), packages, presenters' bios, hotels, and other details can be found online.

National Business Aviation Association President Ed Bolen opened the third Asian Business Association Conference and
Exhibition today in Hong Kong by telling delegates the economic growth in the region makes aviation a natural partner for success. "There is no doubt that the future is bright for business aviation in
Asia. China, in particular, as one of the fastest growing economies in the world and fueled by the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games brings exciting opportunities for business aviation growth," he told the
opening session.
Attendees and exhibitors are shivering in an unseasonably cold Hong Kong for the show. ABACE is smaller than last year, but is demonstrating that it still has value for manufacturers and regional
operators. About 50 exhibitors and 800 registered attendees have flown in from all over the world and there is obviously brisk business afoot, with customer demonstrations and tours going on all

Nominate an FBO
Winning FBOs
AVweb's "FBO of the Week" ribbon goes to the FBO at North Las Vegas Airport (VGT) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
AVweb's own Mike Busch has nominated these folks before, pointing out that "the same customer service people have been working there for as long as I can remember (zero turnover), so they
really know what they're doing." In addition, Mike tells us, "The facility is very nice, and the avgas prices are always extremely competitive (particularly at the self-serve island close to the GA
terminal). There's a regular shuttle service that runs between the GA terminal and the hotels on the Strip."
So why is Mike so eager to have us make VGT's FBO our "FBO of the Week"? Well, there's this:
About my only complaint is that there's a restaurant up on the second floor of the terminal building with a lovely view of the airport, but they seem to have a hard time keeping it open. It has
changed hands a number of times and keeps going out of business, which is a bummer. Maybe if VGT [is] the "FBO of the Week," it'll get so much new business that they can keep the restaurant open!
One can only hope! Congrats to the folks at VGT for running such a tight operation. (Mike, bring us back a hamburger.)
Keep those nominations coming. For complete contest rules, click here.
AVweb is actively seeking
out the best FBOs in the country and another one, submitted by you, will be spotlighted here next Monday!

Australia's Peter O'Brien has joined British police drama The Bill. O'Brien will play a senior Australian police office posted to the UK, a role developed by the show's story producer, Vicki Madden.
Madden and O'Brien worked together previously on The Flying Doctors in 1987. O'Brien's credits include Queer as Folk, The Knock, Deceit and White Collar Blue.
The signing comes as the show's current Australian star, Daniel MacPherson, confirmed his plans to leave and pursue a career in film. MacPherson, 23, currently plays PC Cameron Tait.
"I was really missing home and then all these opportunities came up," MacPherson told an Australian newspaper. "I've enjoyed my time on The Bill immensely."

In Re: the Grandparent Visitation of G.S., J.S. v. M.S.
Domestic relation. Reverses in part a Hancock Circuit Court order mandating G.S. be permitted to have contact with other paternal relatives when participating in grandparent visitation with M.S. Finds there is no statutory authority for a trial court to order a child to have visitation with anyone other than a grandparent in the face of a parent's objections.

Finds on an issue of first impression that Indiana's 10-year statute of limitations is not preempted by the federal statute of limitations in the Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act. Finds that Congress' purpose was not to preempt state statutes of limitations and that Indiana's statute of limitations does not do major damage to the ICCTA's deregulatory purpose. Thus, Emmert Industrial Corp.'s collection claim against Kennedy Tank & Manufacturing Co. can proceed.

Develop your healthcare system with the legal IT company
The development of your hospital information technology needs to be done carefully, and it requires the help from the professional experts. This is vital if you only want to develop your hospital system to reach its fullest potential, in order to provide the better services for your clients. Therefore in order to help you to choose a reliable company to manage your healthcare software development, here is what you need to do:
Only choose the legal IT companies
Yes, it's true, there are so many unlicensed IT companies that may offer you the cheap prices. However, it's not recommended to trust them, due to most of them are the fraud companies. That's why it will be a good idea if you're choosing the legal companies, so you can get the best services in the business, while you're also lowering the risk to get scammed during the development process. So, you need to remember that the company's license will be the number one separator between the fraud and the true companies.

The following story appears in Static Movement's recent anthology, Monk Punk, edited by A. J. French. It is repreinted here with the permission of the publisher.
The Last Monk
George Ivanoff
The monk stared at the skulls, stacked from floor to ceiling in neat rows. The wan light of day's end filtered through the barred, glassless window, catching them in that dim moment between clarity and darkness. The skulls' shadowed, empty eye-sockets pierced the monk with their vacant gaze.
"I wish you could talk to me," he whispered under his breath, "and share with me your wisdom."
But, of course, the dead kept their own counsel.
Sometimes, as the wind blew through the Charnel House, the old bones would resonate with its passing. At times like these, it was almost as if the dead monks were whispering to him – whispering their forgiveness.
There was no wind today.
The monk's gaze came to rest on one particular skull. It had been there for almost two millennia – the first skull to be rested in the Charnel House.
"I have taken the name of this monastery's founder," he said with reverence, "as a sign of respect." He paused to consider. "Also, it seems right that it should end as it began. In the beginning, now and forever . . . Amen." He sighed. "I am now, as he once was, Justinian."
Brother Justinian crossed himself and got to his feet. Leaving the Charnel House, he made his way to the Chapel for his evening prayers. Then, after a meager meal of boiled vegetables and rice, he retired to his cell.
At three in the morning he awoke to silence. The alarm clock that he no longer needed, its dead face staring blankly, sat collecting dust in a corner. His body and mind were now so perfectly attuned to the routine.
He dressed and began the long climb.
It grew lighter as he neared the summit. He knelt down to pick up a weathered soft-drink bottle. It had been so many years since anyone other than him had climbed these steps, yet their refuse endured. He rolled the bottle in his hands.
A whole race of people, he thought, outlived by their garbage.
He tucked the bottle into his robes and continued the climb.
At the summit of Mount Sinai, Brother Justinian entered the little chapel. He lit two candles, their glow illuminating the faces of long-dead saints, staring down at him from the windowless walls. While the sun rose outside, he fell to his knees. As always, he prayed for forgiveness.
As he stepped out into the sunlight, he mused that it had been years now since he had actually seen a sunrise. He missed the colors and the slow break of light. He sighed and started the descent back to the monastery.
Back at the monastery he stopped at the bush, as he did every morning upon his return, and silently prayed for the flames of wisdom and forgiveness. There was not even a breeze to give movement to its leaves, silent since the days of Moses. Brother Justinian closed his eyes momentarily, the weariness of obligation weighing heavily on him, and imagined how the bush might appear if it were to ignite for him. Then, rubbing a hand over his eyes, he trudged off to do his daily chores – tending to the needs of the ancient buildings and their lifeless contents.
Soon it was time again for his evening visit to the Charnel House and the monks who had come before him. Such was Brother Justinian's routine – day in, day out, for the last one hundred and seventeen years since the last of the monks died.
But today was different. Today, as the last monk sat in the Charnel House and spoke to the old bones, the first monk spoke back.
A gust of wind whispered through the bones.
Within seconds Brother Justinian was on his knees.
"Forgive me! Forgive me!" he cried. "Forgive my people. We had no idea." Brother Justinian wept. "Thou shalt not kill," he sobbed. "Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not kill. Thou . . ." He choked back the tears. "But we did. Forgive us! We did not mean to."
But there was no more wind.
Brother Justinian prayed well into the night, then went straight to bed. Fasting was good for the soul. Penance. As he tossed and turned, images burned through the starscape of his dreams. Images of a lost race searching for a new home. Of huge vessels greeted with panic and suspicion upon their descent from the heavens. Of a slow learning of trust. And of eventual, unknowing betrayal. Of disease. And of slow, ghastly death.
Brother Justinian awoke at three in the morning . . . screaming.
Clouds gathered as he proceeded through his routine in a daze, his body going through the motions as his mind did its best not to think about anything.
That evening a storm thundered down as he went to the Charnel House to pray. The skulls wept as he did, gusts of wind blowing the rain through the window.
Brother Justinian did not go to his cell that night. Afraid to sleep, he stayed in the Charnel House and prayed all night. The storm eventually passed and the monastery was returned to still silence. And he continued to pray. Not for himself or his people, but for the billions of dead. The unsuspecting humans who had given his wandering race a home.
A sudden gust of wind disturbed the stillness.
Brother Justinian looked up into the eyes of the first monk's skull – sockets, which no longer seemed vacant, gazed back with benevolence. The air stilled.
"Thank you," whispered Brother Justinian. "Thank you." Tears welled in his eyes again. "Thank you." Slowly getting to his feet, he opened the door to be greeted by light. He had prayed all through the night and now the sun was just rising above the bush.
He watched in awe, entranced by its beauty, as the brilliant orb rose into the sky. His eyes watered with the brightness. Through the tears he noticed a small plume of smoke. He hastened to wipe them from his eyes. Within moments the light of the sun was dulled by a source far more dazzling. Brother Justinian smiled . . . his first smile in over a hundred years.
At last at peace, he went to the holy bush and embraced the flame.

text: Although I've found that many men on this forum have a similar dilemma, mine has an added dimension that I can never seem to address. I'm 5'5", 125lbs, and have never owned, rented, or even tried on a suit that even approached fitting me well. I only recently found a shirt that fits (the Express 1MX extra-slim fit in a Small), which despite the dubious quality is the only shirt I've ever really been happy with the fit of. As a point of reference, I was recently given a 36R tailored jacket from the Gap as a gift, and although I appreciate it's fitted nature, it's still roughly an inch too big in every dimension. For someone my size, if things aren't VERY slim, and VERY fitted, they make me look absolutely ridiculous. The shoulder pads felt too big, the sleeves were too baggy and too long, and there was way too much space in the chest and mid-section. The whole thing felt big. Also, I'm not super diminutive for my size. I run a lot and have a well-toned upper body, but the jacket was quite simply too big. Being a college student, I don't have the money to get a suit built for me from scratch, and I'm having a hard time even finding something that fits closely enough to be worth having tailored. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might look for a small, slim-fitting suit/coat that stands a chance of fitting decently off the rack? I haven't checked Banana Republic or Jos A. Bank yet (I've gleaned that those might be good options?), but despite having shirts in my size, Express didn't seem to have much to offer in the suit department. Also, I know that the Thom Browne look isn't exactly popular here, but in terms of jacket fit, that's sort of what I'm looking for. For what it's worth, I'm not trying to fit into any kind of corporate-appropriate scheme, just need to look nice for some weddings and other formal events this summer. Thanks for any and all advice!

Observations and ammo for your waiver wire pickups, courtesy of the folks at KFFL.com:
Josh Reddick made the most of his opportunity when Carl Crawford (hamstring strain) went on the DL in June. The 24-year-old lefty is hitting .378 with four home runs and 18 RBI in 82 at-bats with the Bosox this year, including going 10-for-28 (.357) with two HRs and six RBI in the last two weeks. However, now that Crawford is back, will there be any place for Reddick in Boston's stacked lineup?
J.D. Drew isn't carrying his weight in right field (.219-4-21), and although Terry Francona is very loyal to his vets, Reddick's play is forcing the issue. GM Theo Epstein on the subject: "You can't deny what Josh Reddick is doing and you can't deny that he's a different player than he's been."
Reddick has played over a healthy Drew in right recently, so it appears that Reddick has moved ahead of Drew as the starter for the foreseeable future. Epstein acknowledged that Reddick has always been an athletic outfielder and playmaker on the bases, but now that his approach at the plate has matured -- he is more disciplined (10 walks, 15 strikeouts) and has a better plan of attack -- he is becoming a part of the future in Beantown. In addition to AL-only leagues, Reddick is worth considering in deep mixed leagues. -Keith Hernandez
Someone might already be stashing San Diego reliever Mike Adams or Tampa Bay speedster Desmond Jennings in anticipation of MLB deadline deals that would create opportunities for those players. If not, especially if you could use saves or stolen bases, then do so.
In mixed leagues, the July 31 fallout rarely has many drastic consequences, but in some cases, it might've benefited you to act sooner. It's not just which players you get; it's also how much you pay for them.
The Royals will almost certainly peddle Melky Cabrera. Jeff Francoeur could leave town too. Lorenzo Cain, 25, has posted a .318/.385/.522 slash line this season at Class AAA Omaha and would step in. He's swiped only 10 bases in 15 attempts, but he stole 33 combined between the minors and majors last season. In KC, he's much likelier to be a thief than a power player.
Jack McKeon has taken a liking to Edward Mujica. The hardened skipper indicated that he'd turn to the aggressive right-hander -- who's 8-2 with a 2.85 ERA, a 6.65 K/9 and a 0.95 BB/9 this season -- in save situations if the Marlins were to deal Leo Nunez.
All three of the A's outfielders are on the block, and they've received far-below-average production at first base. It's time to give slugger Chris Carter, 24, an extended look, so that he has a chance to play through his strikeout-laden slumps, as he showed he could to close 2010.
You're not going to hit on every gamble you take. It's hard to find an excuse to set aside Kyle McClellan in case St. Louis trades for a starting pitcher and eventually gives him a shot to close. But if you pay a couple of bucks now, you'll avoid dishing out five or 10 times as much later. That savings will come in handy, if it hasn't already. -Nicholas Minnix

TRUST Collective-Chicago Commemorates One-Year Anniversary of Pulse Nightclub Shooting
Tuesday, June 13, 2017
One year ago yesterday, our worlds were rocked as news spread about the horror that occurred at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. As we remember that day, TRUST Collective-Chicago extends its condolences to the families and friends of the 49 individuals who were murdered that night. We also extend healing thoughts to those who were injured, their families, friends, and the entire Orlando community.
June 12, 2016 was Latin Night at Pulse, Because of this, most of the victims were young, Latinx queer people. The gunman that night was a Muslim man. Given the differences between the victims and the man who committed this atrocity, the narrative about this tragedy could easily be one of divisiveness and hate. And for some people it is. However, in many communities, including Chicago, this tragedy brought with it an opportunity for engaging at the intersections of identities in new ways. Instead of allowing differences and hatred to lead us, we have redoubled our efforts to build and strengthen cross-cultural relationships. Without such relationships, tragedies like this will be attributed to small-mindedness and encourage myopic and discriminatory beliefs. Every time we engage in difficult – but productive – conversations, we disarm and dismantle discrimination and create the foundation upon which true equality can stand.
TRUST Collective-Chicago is one of the legacies of the Pulse nightclub tragedy. The collective started as a convening by the Chicago Commission on Human Relations of Latinx, LGBTQ and Muslim leaders. Its mission is to foster and support engagement across the Chicago area for the purpose of reducing targeted violence and discrimination of Latinx, LGBTQ, and Muslim people, and other affected communities. We carry out our mission through building internal and external relationships, collective actions of resistance, and amplifying aligned work within our communities.
There is no way to account for the loss of the potential of the lives that ended too soon at Pulse or replace the laughter and the voices and the dancing of those precious spirits. What we, the living, can do to honor them is to make sure hate has no home by building across communities to work for the collective good of the human race. On this day, we remember that one act of violence cannot and will not be allowed to further alienate and disrupt love, compassion, and the spirit of our community. #OrlandoStrong #pulse #loveislove
ALMA Youth Advisory Board Chair Dave Gauna along with other LGBTQ activist testified in front of the Chicago City Council's Human Rights Committee today on the impact of hate crimes on LGBTQ communities of color.
Hate Crime Hearing on Wednesday, April 26, at 10am in City Hall-Council Chamber, 2nd Floor: The City's Council's Committee on Human Relations is holding a hearing on hate crimes that will be presided over by Alderman Pat Dowell, the Committee Chair. The following statement was read by ALMA Youth Advisory Chair David Gauna along with Vic Gonzalez represented ALMA , together they read a statement on behalf of the organization and personally described the issues impact on their lives.
Good morning. Madam Chairman, committee members, thank you for allowing me to testify this morning on this very important issue.
My name is David Gauna, I am a Youth Advisory Board member for ALMA. ALMA is the Association of Latinos and Latinas Motivating Action, an LGBTQ Latino/a education and advocacy organization. Since its inception in 1989, ALMA has existed to provide a safe space for members of a double marginalized community, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning Latinos and Latinas. Throughout the years ALMA has evolved to meet the needs of our community.
Currently our work is focused in the following areas: advocacy & education, leadership development, and pride. For us, pride is particularly important. It is more than just an annual parade, and it is more than waving a flag. Pride is about affirming our full identities, about embracing our partners without fear of retaliation, about young people feeling safe and supported to come out, it is about walking in our communities knowing that nothing will happen to us, pride is ultimately about living our authentic selves.
This is not easy task, as LGBTQ people, as Latinos, and especially difficult as LGBTQ Latinos.
A recent report by the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Program found that over 60% of all the survivors of homophobic and transphobic hate crimes were people of color, with Latina/os at 28%. Further, 17% of the survivors of anti-LGBTQ hate crimes are undocumented. [1] This does not take into account the insidious rate of murdered transgender women of color, which has skyrocketed in the past two years. Most of them black or Latina.
Unfortunately, none of this should come as a surprise. In light of last year's horrific mass shooting in Orlando at a gay club during Latin night. I want to make very clear to this committee that in spite of what the national political rhetoric around the Pulse shooting concluded with, to us, as members of the LGBTQ Latino community – this was a targeted hate crime motivated by homophobia and transphobia.
Since the Pulse shooting and since the election, ALMA has been contacted by several community based organizations and by several local schools about increases in bullying and young people contemplating suicide because of their sexual orientation. We've had to go to middle schools and facilitate peace circles with young people because they are scared, nervous, and feeling like they have nowhere to turn. This should not be happening. We should be working to ensure that our young people feel safe, supported, and that their main concern is their education.
Contrary to what some people believe, most LGBTQ people of color do not live in Lakeview. This means that most of us are susceptible to anti-LGBTQ hate crimes by members of our own community. To complicate matters, most LGBTQ people of color experience a higher rate of poverty, thus limiting the resources and opportunities to live in safer neighborhoods.
In conclusion, I want to thank you all for allowing ALMA the opportunity to share with you all today. I want to reiterate that we wholeheartedly support the Commissioner and her office's efforts to address hate crimes. As a lifelong Chicagoan, as a young person, as a young queer Latino , I want to feel safe and supported in my city, in my home.
Thank you.

This week, House Republicans released the American Health Care Act, to replace the Affordable Care Act. This proposal will affect at least 1.2 million Illinoisans who could lose their health care or face devastating increases in costs.
The bill will mean less coverage, weaker protections, and higher costs.
What you need to know about the proposed changes:
The bill will include a series of tax cuts that will cut funding for health care, the biggest being a tax cut that will benefit high-income individuals and families.
Prices will increase dramatically for low-income health care consumers because the individual mandate is gone. This means that the pool of money to cover everyone's care will be greatly reduced, and the cost of life saving care could put people in financial ruin.
Nearly 800,000 people currently on medicaid could lose health coverage as a result of all the proposed changes in the medicaid program.
In 2020 the federal government will stop providing tax credits to help some people pay deductibles and co-payments. This could increase individual costs by hundreds of dollars or more per visit.
Credits will based on age, not income; A wealthy 70 year old could receive higher tax credit assistance on premiums and deductibles than a 35-year-old single mom making minimum wage.
Older customers can now be charged 5 times as much as the youngest customers. Previously, older customers could be charged 3 times as much as younger customers.

Trump's new and wrong guidelines against trans* students
President Trump's Department of Education, under the leadership of Secretary Betsy DeVos, has announced that it will NOT enforce Title IX protections to support transgender students in schools. The intent of Title IX is to provide a safe and supportive education environment for all students regardless of gender. The Department of Education, under President Obama, had extended Title IX to include a student's gender identity. Unfortunately, President Trump has rolled the clock back for trans students. Transgender students will no longer have the support and enforcement of the federal government.
We feared that this would happen. Betsy DeVos has previously supported anti-LGBTQ organizations and causes. She has donated to organizations that believe and have pushed conversation therapy on LGBTQ youth.
In the coming days, we will be working with our national and local partners to strategize on next steps.
In the meantime, we will be voicing our concerns with our state leaders to ensure they are aware of this and continue to work towards protecting trans youth across the state. While the State of Illinois has many rules that protect gender identity, it is important the school administrator's do not curtail the rights of trans* students because of this inadequate federal guideline.
We must remain vigilant. We must continue to organize and advocate. We must continue to resist.
ALMA Stands Against President Trump's Immigration & Refugee Executive Orders
The Association of Latina/os Motivating Action (ALMA) joins the thousands of voices protesting President Trump's Executive Orders – particularly those that ban the entry of refugees (including legal permanent residents) into our country; rush orders to build a wall along the Mexican border; and threaten to prevent federal funding for sanctuary cities and counties like Chicago and Cook County.
Not only is this an attack on immigrant, refugee, and Muslim communities; these impulsive and carelessly implemented orders also put many LGBTQ individuals into increasingly dangerous situations as they are attempting to flee life-threatening situations in other countries and seek safety in the United States. This is a disturbingly dark moment in our country's history.
During his inauguration, President Trump promised to be a leader for all Americans, yet these Executive Orders break the spirit of that commitment. Instead of building walls and further breaking families apart, Mr. Trump should focus on building bridges between communities across this country.
So many have worked so hard to create safe communities for LGBTQ people, immigrants, and refugees in Chicago, Cook County, and all across Illinois. We have seen much progress, but have always kept in mind the work still to come. The political climate during the presidential campaign, after the election and, especially, during the past couple of weeks has made our work more challenging, yet even more important. Now more than ever, we must reignite our commitment to social justice.
ALMA stands in solidarity with all of the individuals and communities affected by the Trump administration's agenda. We stand shoulder to shoulder, ready to fight against these acts of injustice. We will continue to organize, speak out, and take action.
We encourage all of you to contact your legislators and share your frustrations. Continue to engage in dialogue with families, friends, and neighbors. Our commitment for a better world begins in our very own communities. We will not stand idly and allow the President break us apart.
In solidarity and action,
TRUST Collective-Chicago joins the various organizations and individuals denouncing Donald Trump's attack on immigrants and their families and the sanctuary cities that welcome them. The executive orders recently signed by Trump are not aimed to protect the United States from illegal immigration or terror attacks. They are an attack on what the promise of America is about- opportunity, access, and prosperity, defined on your own terms. Yet beyond a promise, the United States is a sovereign government tasked with protecting its founders' aims and its descendants' futures. These recent acts by the Trump Administration are threats to national security, undermining the very essence of government responsibility. As a government of, for, and by the people, it is our civic duty to hold our leaders accountable for neglectful and abusive overreach of governmental power. While the effects of such overreach are too exhaustive to name, building border walls and defunding vital, municipal programs will cost lives, undercut crucial infrastructure, and likely perpetuate unjust law and order. The disastrous effects of such actions will be felt by all Americans, in time. We cannot allow the demonization of certain groups to become the new normal of this great country. We cannot allow this administration's discriminatory actions to define who WE are as Americans.
TRUST Collective-Chicago's mission is to bridge, support, and foster relationships across the Chicago area toward building a unified front and reducing targeted violence and discrimination. Founded in July 2016, we (Latinx, LGBTQ+, and Muslim communities) have gathered "Post-Orlando" to improve our collaborative efforts across the Chicago area toward reducing targeted violence and discrimination. We value honoring differences to build a more unified future.

Chicago's Latino Community stands with the LGBTQ Latino Community
This weekend, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community was attacked in Orlando, Florida in what is considered to be the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. The shooting occurred at Pulse, a nightclub for the LGBTQ community, during its weekly "Latin" night. Forty-nine individuals died, and an additional 53 were injured. The majority of those victims are LGBTQ Latinos – they were our children, our brothers and sisters, our family. We send our condolences to the families and loved ones of those whose life was cut short during this senseless act.
Even though this weekend's violent shooting was perhaps the most devastating, it was not an isolated event—violence towards the LGBTQ community is rampant. LGBTQ people are twice as likely to be victims of hate crimes, compared to other marginalized communities. For LGBTQ Latinos who experience racism, homophobia, and transphobia, the violence is far too common. A national report conducted by the Human Rights Campaign and League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) found that LGBTQ Latino youth are three times more likely to face harassment and violence than are their non-LGBTQ Latino peers—in their communities, in our communities. The violence directed at members of our community is something we can no longer ignore.
In light of the shooting in Orlando, we must come together, not only to help the LGBTQ Latino community heal, but also to act. Now more than ever, we must commit ourselves to eradicating homophobia and transphobia in our Latino communities. While there has been much progress for the LGBTQ community, such as marriage equality, we must continue to work to ensure that all LGBTQ people are able to live without fear of losing their lives due to intolerance and hate. We need to challenge the anti-LGBTQ sentiments from within our own families and communities. We must remember that LGBTQ Latinos are part of our entire community, and that their love is just as important.
It is also imperative that our laws reflect our values to ensure we build safe communities for everyone. We must hold our elected officials and leaders accountable, rejecting hateful rhetoric that seeks to divide and cause harm. We must pressure them to work on policy that will ensure complete equality and fair treatment for the LGBTQ community as well as legislation that will put an end to this senseless gun violence. We must also be willing to stand in solidarity with other marginalized communities, we cannot allow this tragedy to perpetuate Islamophobia. Now more than ever we need to work and move forward in unison.
The Latino communities in Chicago, and our allies, stand with the Latino and LGBTQ communities in Orlando. We send our sympathy to the LGBTQ Latino community across the country that continues to mourn and begins to heal. We will stand with the LGBTQ community to end homophobia and transphobia once and for all.

ALMA's statement on the shooting in Orlando, Florida at an LGBT club during it's weekly Latino Night
This morning, many of us were shocked to learn about the news out of Orlando, Florida. Approximately 50 individuals were killed, and over 50 more were injured in a senseless act of violence, the largest mass shooting in this country's history. This occurred at what is supposed to be a safe place for members of the LGBTQ community, a place many frequent to be their authentic selves, and escape the everyday homophobia and transphobia. The mass shooting happened at an LGBT club during its weekly Latino night.
We send the victims and their families our condolences and sympathy during this difficult time. We also send the LGBTQ community in Orlando our best thoughts as they mourn, heal, and work towards moving forward.
This tragic event is even more difficult to understand considering that June is Pride Month. Yet, it is clear that in spite of all the legal victories in recent years, more work rests ahead of us.
While this is surely one of the most tragic events in our recent history, it represents the continued violence towards the LGBTQ community, in particular for LGBTQ people of color. Last year, over 20 trans women of color were murdered in acts of hate crime; and those numbers continue to grow this year. While for many of us in LGBTQ community, our sense of safety has been shattered because of the Orlando shooting. We must remain vigilant, we must remain united, and we must continue to work together with our allies to continue our progress.
Today we mourn. Tomorrow we heal.
ALMA Chicago's Youth Advisory Board host second annual "On The Table"
The Association of Latinos/as Motivating Action's Youth Advisory Board (YAB) joined thousands of Chicagoland residents on Tuesday, May 10, to discuss how they can help unite the place they call home. In today's society, this act of coming together has never been as crucial as it is presently. On the Table, organized by The Chicago Community Trust, connects people and communities of diverse perspectives and backgrounds. They believe that "[t]alking–and listening–to our neighbors is an important first step toward creating a more unified Chicagoland region. What you do matters. And when we come together as a community to learn from and with each other, we have the power to impact both neighborhoods and lives."
Our last year's ALMA Young Latino Leaders for Creating Change Scholarship recipient, Roberto Mendez, facilitated a great conversation, at Nightcap Cafe in Pilsen, about gentrification and how it affects our Latino and LGBTQ+ communities. The youth from YAB and invited guest discussed the different components of gentrification varying from economic, political, and communal contributions to the issue. Also addressed were the perceived positive and negative aspects on gentrification. Some possible ideas for creating awareness and change that were discussed by the group were systemic changes through government process and educating both people who move into communities, on cultural humility, and residents who may not be aware of how to prevent displacement or take advantage of the changing community's resources.

That's why you can't eat you little faggot
That Primo shit, Rassy Kassy, Goldyn Chyld

[Verse 1]
Its the R-ah-A-S, K-A-double S
Ejecting airbag, wreck a nigga's bubble S-Class
What's comin' nest? Let's mash
Get so high, walkin' I catch jetlag
If it ain't Hennessy and OJ, homie miss me
Keep my hairline down to the Nike sign crispy
Spit be, strictly mini-me Bin Laden's
Mixed with 16 men with life in the pen ridin'
Gangsta - fuck how many records you sell
Get put on the missing milk carton in double XL (meaning XXL)
And it's NOTHIN, let's double the dare
Dick so deep down ya bitch mouth, I'll cum in her hair
Guns and ones in the air, niggas with stripes
Shootin kites, posted on low-rider bikes
Gat named Russel Simmons, god bless and good night
You done fucked up like Crip walkin' by Suge Knight
That's what happens when you
Reach for what you can't feel
I be the... wild Goldyn Chyld
Come on, come on, yo
Ask the crew if I'm nice, they all say true
That's what happens when you
Reach for what you can't feel
I be the... wild Goldyn Chyld
The baddest flow... niggas know...
[Verse 2]
Guess I'm a rap nigga, cause homeboy, its a wrap
Commit a driveby with the Music Express van
And then toss the gat
Hop on the Red Eye to NYC though - D&D linked with Primo
And I'm hungry, so I'mma take what you got
Throw up a dove, spit at the camera like 2Pac
My rap style is Sheek like two L.O.X
Word on a few blocks; my technique's too hot
I repeat, DO NOT get it twisted
Get ya heard a brick or "Park" at 106 bitch
They catch me exprayin a halo, with an immitation J-Lo
... ya kna' - haters lay low
Who the only west coast nigga to air out Kay Slay mixtape tho'?
(Rassy) mo' dirty, S-C-fou-thirty
Steer with my knee, eating a plate of beef curry, beyotch!
[Verse 3]
I pop my collar, pop pistols, and pop ecstasy
Boricuas call me papi, when they pop their "p"
Used to pop-lock and lock and watch
Pop locks and burgularize spots
Pop wheelies on the red and chrome Huffy
Graduated to Suzuki's - hot soda pop
Or pop bottles at Sky Sushi
Ask me what's poppin? Most likely your collar bone
Ever had the feeling when ya by yourself ya not alone
With Big Brother, and Big Brother see you
I'm hard-headed, my dick look like R2-D2
Mini-me too - speed through in the V-1-2
C-Arson style, know how we do
All money is legal, dead pres to green eagle

Kicked off the Up in Smoke tour for scrappin with Staff Pro

First off, it should be a sad day in Leaf land as we all say good bye to Tomas Kaberle. It seems many people are unaware of just how good Kaberle was and still is. Here are some facts about Tomas Kaberle:
- Since Kaberle entered the NHL in 2008-09 the only defenseman with more assists than Kaberle is Niklas Lidstrom and only Lidstrom, Gonchar and Pronger have more points.
- Since the lockout only Lidstrom has more assists among defensemen and only Lidstrom and Rafalski have more points.
- Among all skaters, not just defensemen, Kaberle ranks 20th in assists since the lockout and has more assists than Vincent Lecavalier and Eric Staal.
- His point production has not tailed off significantly the past several seasons despite many people seemingly believing otherwise. He had 49 points last season and is on pace for about 52 this season.
- Only 2 defensemen (Keith, Enstrom) have more combined assists this season and last and only 8 defensemen (Green, Keith, Boyle, Lidstrom, Enstrom, Visnovsky, Doughty and Yandle).
That is pretty good if you ask me and while he had his flaws he truly was an elite puck moving and passing defenseman. He'll be missed in Toronto.
Now, it is time to take a look at the Leafs future. What Burke has done the past couple years has actually been pretty extraordinary and for all those who have begged for the Leafs to go with the build through the draft method of team building here is some of the assets currently in the Maple Leaf organization.
- 2011 Boston 1st round pick
- 2011 Philadelphia 1st round pick
- Nazem Kadri – 7th overall 2009
- Luke Schenn – 5th overall 2008
- Joe Colborne – 16th overall, 2008
- Jake Gardiner – 17th overall, 2008
- Phil Kessel – 5th overall, 2006
- Dion Phaneuf – 9th overall 2003
- Joffrey Lupul – 7th overall 2002
- Mike Komisarek – 7th overall, 2001
- Fredrik Sjostrom – 11th overall 2001
- Colby Armstrong – 21st overall, 2001
Now we don't know what Kadri, Colborne, Gardiner and the two 2011 draft picks will turn out to be, but that is what rebuilding through the draft is all about (and isn't that what Leaf fans have been demanding). So while it may not be the traditional build through the draft, what Burke has done to the depth of young talent on these Leafs has been amazing, even if we haven't seen the results on the ice yet. On top of that, the Leafs should have about $25M in cap space available for next season (though MacArthur, Bozak, Schenn and Gunnarsson need to be re-signed). Fear not Leaf fans, I believe good times are ahead, and not too far away.

STAFF from Bromsgrove's E-Lites call centre are preparing to scale Britain's highest mountains in the name of a cancer research charity.
Six members of the team are taking part in the national Three Peaks Challenge in June, in which they will scale Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, all in a 24-hour period.
Contact centre manager Guy Everett said: "As a group of ex-smokers all with varying degrees of fitness and mental willing this will test the group in different ways, but they are all really keen to get it done.
"They are all quite young so should be fairly fit but they do like their junk food and to go down the pub so they need to get a bit of a wiggle on when it comes to the training - I think it's going to be a mad dash as it gets closer to the date."
The challenge has come about as part of a 'Believe you Can' scheme the company is currently running in which staff are being helped to achieve goals that are important to them.
All money raised will go to brain cancer research charity Help Harry Help Others and people can donate by visiting justgiving.com/e-litesthethreepeakschallenge.

Hooks take opener in Corpus Christi
By Springfield Cardinals | April 13, 2014 6:17 PM ET
Corpus Christi, TX - The Corpus Christi Hooks won the series opener, 9-1, against the Springfield Cardinals before 5,107 fans at Whataburger Field on Sunday afternoon.
The Hooks (8-2) struck with three unearned runs against LHP Jonathan Cornelius (L, 0-2) and the Cardinals (3-7) through the first two innings, before adding a fourth tally in the fourth on a delayed double steal to make it 4-0.
Corpus continued the attack in the fifth, adding four runs in the frame. With one down and the bases empty, RF Preston Tucker drove a solo home run to left field. A base hit and a double set the table for 3B Jio Mier, who hit a three-run homer to double the lead to 8-0.
After CF Delino DeShields, Jr. added another run to the Hooks lead with a solo home run in the eighth, the Cardinals got on the board in the ninth. CF James Ramsey led off the final frame with a solo blast, his league-best fourth home run and league-leading 11th RBI of the year. However, RHP Travis Ballew worked around a DH Jonathan Rodriguez walk and a 1B Curt Smith single in the inning to close the 9-1 win for the Hooks. RHP Aaron West (W, 2-0) pitched 5.0 scoreless innings to log the win for Corpus Christi.

of the Pharisees
13, 2001
by Daniel K. H. Cortese
Yes, I must confess that I don't have an American flag bumper
sticker on my car, or draped on the side of my apartment covering
three-fourths of my neighbor's patio. I don't own a glossy
bejeweled lapel pin of the American flag, nor a make-shift
red-white-and-blue ribbon attached to any articles of my clothing.
Heck, I don't even have a pair of patriotic Tommy Hilfiger
Jeans - not that I don't appreciate the fashion-ability of
the red-white-and-blue colors, but mostly because I can't
get the jeans to quite fit right, since they are made for
bodies that don't naturally exist without the assistance of
an eating disorder.
No, this native New Yorker-turned-Texan has opted on the
subtle display of patriotism in light of the attacks on his
homeland: the two-inch-by-one-inch that proudly professes
to the viewer the two most patriotic words ever uttered by
an American - "I Voted."
I walked into the early voting places all last week - grocery
stores sponsor them here in Texas. In the parking lot, as
far as the eyes could see were American flags-painted on the
sides of automobiles, streaming down the antenna as if it
were a miniature flag pole. Even bumper stickers on the cars
would express the driver's absolute pride to be an American.
And, all three times I entered the grocery store after viewing
the overt displays of patriotism; there was not a soul at
the voting booth.
Turnout was so low during early voting - only 1% of voters
indeed voted early that week. Stores cannot stock enough patriotic
paraphernalia because of the demand, but when patriotism demands
effort, it seems voters are always doing something else more
important that filling out a ballot and exercising our patriotic
right and duty. Maybe no one voted in any significant number
because voting is anonymous and the neighbors wouldn't know
one is patriotic and therefore unimpressed?
This morning at the voting booth I was the first and only
person to arrive who was not employed at the Elementary school
where the polling place was located. And even then, I was
only the ninth person to vote in an election that focuses
on amendments to the Texas constitution.
Where are the thousands of countless others - the Pharisees
of modern America who speak of their patriotism by nearly
unanimously rallying behind a President whose legitimacy they
questioned in near-majority numbers less than two months ago?
Where are the millions of Americans who silenced any criticism
of American policies by accusing critics of being unpatriotic?
The self-proclaimed "patriots" aren't in the polling places,
that is for sure.
But I'll tell you one thing - the recent critics like me
who are accused of being unpatriotic are the ones in the voting
booths - we are the ones who challenge the system by actually
voting. We didn't buy our flags to look cool - we got our
"I Voted" sticker for free. And that is a lapel sticker that
is worth more than the paper it was printed on - because it
has actions behind that meaning.
You feel patriotic? Stop forwarding guises-of-patriotism
messages (except this one) and actually do something! Put
your patriotism where your mouth is!

Please contact us and find out how we can help your child.
Test Preparation
We develop successful test-taking skills and strategies that are appropriate for your child, from Pre-K to 12th grade, for OLSAT or BSRA tests, elementary tests, simple spelling tests, ELA, Science or Math Exams, and Regents or college admission tests. We teach applied skills, including relaxation and concentration techniques that will enable your child to feel confident, prepared, and familiar with testing situations.
Special Needs
Our techniques for supporting students with learning disabilities have achieved remarkable success.

We also address multiple facets of your child's intelligences and build a foundation on your child's strengths.
Individualized Attention
We offer a level of attention that most franchise tutoring centers cannot achieve. Our staff-to-student ratio is very low, and much of our instruction is one-to-one.

Reinforcement and Educational Advancement
We offer an opportunity for children to gain greater understanding of subject matter through a practical and theoretical application of necessary skills. We build on the knowledge and abilities that children bring with them into the tutoring environment.

The multi-million pound expansion of a Harpenden hospital is well underway, with the building of a new theatre this month.
Spire Harpenden Hospital recently commenced work on its £5million theatre and outpatient ward expansion, which is due to be completed in August this year.
On Friday, April 11 and Saturday, April 12 builders worked towards completing the project at the Ambrose Lane site, with the prepared theatre being craned into position.
Julia Salmon, Hospital Director said: "This is an extremely exciting time for Spire Harpenden and the weekend marks a major stage in our development.
"The staff at the Hospital have been fantastic, under some challenging circumstances. Our thanks extend to the patients staying at the Hospital and our neighbours for their continued support throughout the project."
The new theatre has been built off-site in four separate modules that were all designed to easily slot together. On Friday, April 11 the theatre, in parts, began its journey all the way from Gloucestershire to the Hospital, three support vehicles escorted the modules to arrive throughout Saturday, April 12.
The sun shone down on Spire neighbours and patients, who came out to watch the 20 tonne units being lifted into place. By the end of Saturday the centre courtyard of the building had been transformed and it was easy to see how the new space was going to look.
The new theatre is to be installed with laminar flow, which reduces the risk of infection, as well as specialist equipment for keyhole surgery.The expansion also includes plans for a new seven bed ward and an additional patient recovery area.
The development is part of the hospital's ongoing plan to expand the services it can provide, which will enable the hospital to care for an increasing number of patients. In recent years the hospital has extended its car park by 27 spaces following patient feedback and upgraded one of its existing four theatres with specialist key-hole surgery equipment.
The hospital has continued to operate as usual during the works with minimal disruption to patients. The building work will continue over the coming months, finishing with a grand opening in August.
