There were no surprises about how John Elway felt. These are Elway's top two assistants. He promoted one, hired the other.
Matt Russell is Elway's No. 1 deputy as the Broncos' director of player personnel. The team on Monday suspended Russell indefinitely without pay after his arrest July 6 for suspicion of drunken driving and other charges in Summit County.
A few months ago, Elway, who runs the Broncos' football operations as executive vice president, let the contract of Keith Kidd expire, then replaced him as director of pro personnel with Tom Heckert. A month after Heckert had been on the job, he was arrested June 11 in Parker on suspicion of driving under the influence. The Broncos disciplined Heckert, 45, with a one-month suspension without pay Monday.

Catherine Ann "Cat" Cora (born April 3, 1967) is an American professional chef best known for her featured role as an "Iron Chef" on the Food Network television show Iron Chef America[3] and as co-host of Around the World in 80 Plates on Bravo.
Early life[edit]
Cora was born in Jackson, Mississippi, the daughter of Virginia Lee (née Brothers) and Spiro Pete Cora.[1][4] Her father was of Greek descent (her paternal grandparents were from Skopelos, Greece).[1][5] Her grandfather and father were both restaurateurs. When she was 15 years old, she brought a business plan to her father and grandfather, knowing they could help her.[3] Cora's style of cooking was influenced by Julia Child, Barbara Tropp, M.F.K. Fisher and her grandmother, Alma.
After receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology and Biology at the University of Southern Mississippi, she enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York.[6] Cora has appeared on Simplify Your Life. She was also a co-host of the Food Network show Kitchen Accomplished.
In January 2005 Cora co-founded Chefs For Humanity,[7] which describes itself as "a grassroots coalition of chefs and culinary professionals guided by a mission to quickly be able to raise funds and provide resources for important emergency and humanitarian aid, nutritional education, and hunger-related initiatives throughout the world."[8] She has also participated in charity wine auctions held by Auction Napa Valley.[9]
In 2006 she was hired as a paid spokesperson for InSinkErator Evolution series garbage disposals.[10] Cora is also Executive Chef for Bon Appétit magazine[11] and a UNICEF spokesperson.[12] In March 2006, Cora was the Grand Marshal for Hal and Mal's St. Paddy's Parade in her hometown of Jackson, Mississippi.[13] In the September 2006 issue of FHM, Cora was featured in the cooking section, where she demonstrated various recipes using items purchased from a convenience store. Cat Cora also belongs to Macy's Culinary Councils, amongst Tyler Florence, Rick Bayless, and others. She has worked as an entertainer for The Olivia Companies, a travel company catering to the lesbian market.[14]
In 2008, Cora had a voice role for the video game Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine.[2]
The eponymous Cat Cora,[15] a new bar and lounge style restaurant, opened at Terminal 2 at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in April 2011. Later in 2011, a Cat Cora's Kitchen was opened in Terminal E of the Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Cora also operated Kouzzina by Cat Cora at Disney's Boardwalk Resort at The Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, FL. Kouzzina closed on September 30, 2014.[16]
Cora opened The Ocean Restaurant at the S.E.A. Aquarium at Resorts World Sentosa off Singapore in February 2013. The 63 seat restaurant is inside the world's largest oceanarium and has stunning views of deep-sea wildlife from every table.
Cora is currently the co-host of the show Around the World in 80 Plates an American reality competition show that premiered on May 9, 2012 on the Bravo cable TV network.[17]
Personal life[edit]
Cora has four sons – Zoran, Caje, Thatcher, and Nash – with her wife, Jennifer. Jennifer bore the first three; Cat gave birth to Nash three months after Thatcher was born.[18][19] She currently resides in the Santa Barbara, California area with her family.
On June 17, 2012, Cora was arrested in Santa Barbara and charged with DUI. The officers who arrived on the scene noted that Cora was showing signs of alcohol intoxication after rear-ending another vehicle. Her breathalyzer tests registered her blood alcohol content at more than twice the legal limit.[20] Cora pled no contest and was sentenced to three years' probation and fined $2,386. She later apologized for the arrest, saying, "I deeply regret my decision to drive that evening after my designated driver became unavailable."[21]

SMOA Notification is now called QCG-Notification! This page is no longer updated. See the new project webpage:
SMOA Notification - Robust OASIS WS-Notification implementation
SMOA Notification is an open source implementation of the family of WS-Notification standards (Base Notification, Brokered Notification and Topics). It supports the topic-based publish/subscribe pattern for the asynchronous message exchange among Web Services and other involved entities. The main architecture of our system is based on a highly efficient, extended version of the Notification Broker, managing all items participating in notification events. Today, SMOA Notification offers sophisticated notification capabilities, e.g. notification message filtering, and it was successfully integrated with different communication protocols and various Web Services security mechanisms. The modular architecture of SMOA Notification also provides a great opportunity for developers to build new extensions and plugins to meet other specific requirements.
From the architecture perspective, SMOA Notification exposes a well-defined Web Service interface corresponding to the role of Notification Broker as well as it offers other standard interfaces for managing Subscriptions and Pull Points.
All funtions offered by SMOA Notification can be invoked using different transport protocols. Currently, our system supports the SOAP communication over HTTP, HTTPS, and additionally XMPP. Thanks to the XMPP based communication, all notification parties, namely Subscribers, Publishers, Notification Consumers and SMOA Notification itself, can be located behind firewalls with only well defined outgoing TCP/IP port open for the XMPP transport communication.
The following list summarizes all major concepts defined in the WS-Notification documents and adopted by SMOA Notification:
The low-level architecture of SMOA Notification is based on highly efficient mechanisms and data structures. In performed tests we sent 1000 notification messages via different WS-Notification implementations. The obtained results clearly show that SMOA Notification outperforms competitors.

Four-day Hartwell fishing tourney is under way
Low lake changes angler strategies
ANDERSON - After a slow morning, the fish in Hartwell Lake finally started biting.
Anthony Gagliardi, a pro angler from Prosperity, returned to the dock with a decent haul. He bagged five bass with a combined weight of 15 pounds 10 ounces, which was good enough for 20th place after the opening day of the Walmart FLW fishing tournament.
But like any fisherman, Gagliardi couldn't stop thinking about a missed opportunity.
"I had a chance to catch a big one and I let it get away," he explained at the afternoon weigh-in, which drew a crowd of about 100 spectators at Portman Marina.
Still, Gagliardi, a Clemson University graduate, likes his chances in this week's event, which is the first of six majors on the FLW tournament schedule. The four-day competition resumes at 7 a.m. Friday at Portman Marina.
"I feel pretty good," Gagliardi said. "It is nice to fish somewhere you know."
The tournament got under way Thursday morning when dozens of bass boats roared onto the open waters of Hartwell Lake.
Guiding their boats across the glassy water at speeds of 50 mph, anglers headed toward their favorite fishing spots under mostly overcast skies.
Gagliardi spent about 45 minutes fishing in the shallow water of Crane's Creek. Later the anglers tried their luck near a deep 60-foot hole in the lake.
This is the second consecutive year that the FLW tour has held a tournament on Hartwell Lake. But because of lower water levels, anglers are facing significantly different conditions than during last March's event.
After Friday's weigh-in, the field will be trimmed to 20 anglers, with a further reduction down to 10 pros for Sunday's final day of fishing.
The tournament weigh-ins will move to the TD Convention Center in Greenville on Saturday and Sunday. The FLW Outdoors Expo also will be held at the convention center on those days.
The tournament features top awards of up to $125,000 in the pro division and up to $25,000 in the co-angler division, which concludes Saturday.

Hudson River Almanac August 10 - August 16, 2010
The river continues to be warm and salty, conditions that may be responsible for a memorable blue crab season both in numbers and sizes. Schools of bluefish were in the Hudson Highlands and we had two independent sightings of leaping sturgeon off Croton Point on the same day.
8/12 - Bear Mountain, HRM 46: The picnic area at Bear Mountain State Park hosted a different sort of gathering this morning. Beside a toppled garbage can, a dozen black vultures jockeyed for position while searching for scraps. A few feet away, a flock of wild turkeys - some standing, some sitting - seemed drawn to the action. Every so often, the largest hen turkey charged at a vulture, which at first I assumed to be a defensive posture in protection of her chicken-sized poults. But then one of the poults got into the act, mimicking the hen's moves and forcing a vulture into retreat. On the outskirts of the flock away from the fray, two turkey vultures and a lone raven took in the playful scene, like grandparents at a family reunion.
- Ed McGowan
8/10 - Gardiner, HRM 73: We had seven different species of butterflies foraging on our butterfly bush as well as a hummingbird moth. They included both black and tiger swallowtails, monarchs, a painted lady, and a few I could not identify.
- Rebecca Houser
8/10 - Little Stony Point, HRM 55: Fourteen teachers joined us on the beach for the Haldane Hudson Environmental Learning Program. For most of two hours we hauled an 85-foot seine in the warm (82 degrees F) shallows, catching ten species of fish as well as many of what has become the ubiquitous blue crab of summer. Among the fish there were two, not totally unexpected, surprises - Atlantic silverside and bluefish - suggesting that there was salt in the water. We measured about 3.0 parts-per-thousand though in deeper offshore water it may have been nearly twice as salty (salt water is denser than fresh). The young-of-the-year [YOY] bluefish ranged 5-8 inches long; each had a distended abdomen that we discovered was filled with YOY river herring. There was also a totally unexpected surprise: a striped mullet. At 8 inches long, it was a yearling, or second-year fish. Almost all of the mullet found in the estuary are "finger mullet" - finger-length, cigar-shaped young of the year. Mullet, particularly one this size, are very uncommon this far upriver.
- Tom Lake, Linda Richards
[Mullet are a family of saltwater fish found on the Atlantic Coast from New England south to the Caribbean. In the southern end of their range they spawn in the ocean and spend their lives in estuaries, inland waterways and canals. It is a common sight to see scores of mullet leaping out of the water to escape tarpon and snook. In our area we have two species, white mullet and striped mullet. Both are uncommon summer and fall strays into brackish water. In 17 years of the Hudson River Almanac we have recorded fewer than a dozen mullet in the Hudson. Tom Lake.]
8/10 - Croton Point, HRM 35-34: People aren't talking about it, but this is a drought summer of serious proportions. Shrubs and vines are dying back wholesale, and even the detested mugwort is getting crispy. I see encouraging numbers of monarch butterflies, but can't imagine where they are finding nectar. Most bird voices have been stilled and morning walks are through a silent and sere landscape.
- Christopher Letts
8/11 - Cold Spring, HRM 54: We were sitting at the dock trying to get a bit of breeze and shade on a very hot and humid day. As we watched the gulls panting in the heat, we spotted an unusual gull that landed on the rocks in front of us. It was a bit smaller with a black head, red feet, and a white collar, red on his beak. It was a laughing gull and it made our day!
- Barbara Billington, John Billington
[In the Hudson River Almanac, the last laughing gull sighting along the river away from New York Harbor and the coast was in 2002 at Croton Point. In 17 years of the Almanac, we have recorded eleven species of gulls along the tidewater Hudson: black-headed gull, Bonaparte's gull, Franklin's gull, glaucous gull, greater black-backed gull, lesser black-backed gull, laughing gull, herring gull, Iceland gull, ivory gull, and ring-billed gull. Tom Lake.]
8/10 - Tappan Zee: A few days ago I was kayaking on the Hudson [location purposely vague] when I paddled past a navigational tower upon which was a large bird's nest. Several of the occupants were "at home." Not wanting to disturb their privacy, I stayed a good distance away. These were osprey, two adults and what appeared to be one fledgling. There were 3 birds on the tower - one perched on the rim of the nest, one on the platform, and one on the ladder. As I came around, one of the birds made a chirping sound, not threatening, but I took it to mean "keep your distance."
- Harold Potischman
8/11 - Senasqua, HRM 36: I attended sailing school this week, but today there was very little wind so we went swimming in the river. My friends and I were surrounded by thousands of tiny (smaller than a dime) jellyfish. It was very cool watching them swim.
- Annie McLean
[Comb jellies (Ctenophora) are often mistaken for jellyfish but differ in that they have no tentacles and do not sting. Like true jellyfish, comb jellies are translucent, gelatinous, fragile, and essentially planktonic, drifting at the whim of the wind and current. They are walnut-sized, often occur in swarms, and are common in estuarine shallows. They normally occur in the lower brackish reach of the Hudson in late summer and fall. For a real treat, gently scoop a few from a net with a wet, cupped hand. Place them into a small glass aquarium, and gently rock the water. Their rhythmic, symmetrical, and altogether graceful movements are enchanting. The common Hudson River species is Beroe's comb jelly (Beroe cucumis). Tom Lake.]
8/12 - Newcomb, HRM 302: After a summer of few or none, we were now seeing many monarchs.
- Ellen Rathbone
8/12 - Green County, HRM 112.2: Osprey, late summer migrants, were showing up at the RamsHorn Sanctuary as well as the Hudson River-Catskill Creek confluence.
- Larry Federman
8/12 - Tivoli North Bay, HRM 100.5: We ventured out onto Tivoli North Bay to complete our seining program for the season. As we paddled towards the Hudson at low tide, we noticed that the native wild celery (Valisneria) was blooming. Thin light green stalks bearing a tiny white flower were lying along the surface. What pollinates them anyway? We found a blue crab claw, probably the remains of a shed exoskeleton. On the base of the pincer there was a small (~3 mm) zebra mussel. The mussel must have settled on the crab and stayed with it until the claw was shed. Similarly, zebra mussels have been reported to colonize crayfish exoskeletons in the Great Lakes.
- Bob Schmidt, Ian Hetterich, Alec Schmidt
8/12 - Norrie Point, HRM 85: A belted kingfisher used the stone column at the corner of the patio for a perch off and on for an hour this morning. This low vantage point is less than ideal for fishing by this sharp-eyed bird but, will probably have to do since from the trees along the cove it would be nearly impossible to spot fish under the thick mat of Eurasian water chestnut.
- Nicole Vente, Dan Miller
8/12 - Haverstraw Bay to the Tappan Zee, HRM 35-27: A friend and I sailed up the Hudson from Nyack. When we were at the entrance to Haverstraw Bay, we both saw a large fish break water in a splash. The tail gave away that it was a sturgeon nearly six feet long. Shortly afterwards we saw a small school of either bluefish or menhaden that we got close to under sail but they quietly dispersed as we ghosted near them. As we approached Ossining on our way back downriver my friend thought he saw the same kind of big fish and splash that he took for another sturgeon of large size. That night we tied up at Nyack Boat Club and saw a black-crowned night heron land on the dock for a brief visit.
- Caleb Davison
8/12 - Croton-on-Hudson, HRM 26: Recreational crabbers have been limiting out for weeks on big blue claws, so when Gino Garner, Riverman, invited me to join him I jumped at the opportunity. "We'll do it the old-timey way" he told me. With fresh bunker for bait, we set out our lines and sat back to wait. Was it the new moon? The salt front? In 2 hours, we managed only eleven crabs, all legal but none huge. Would I have wished myself somewhere other? No. Crabs were swimming past us on the surface. We watched half a dozen sturgeon clear the water - a lovely sight. We had the Palisades, Croton Point and, at the end, enough crab for a wonderful summer celebration.
- Christopher Letts
8/12 - New York Bight: I spoke to a long time crabber on Little Neck Bay (Queens, New York City) and he said the same thing as we have been saying in the Hudson: We've never had more or larger blue crabs than this season. He heard the same thing about Jamaica Bay.
- Ted Gass
8/12 - Ossining, HRM 33: I don't know what difference this year's lack of water makes, but for the first time in 34 years we have seen copperheads, two of them, big and very fat, killed while crossing the road, heading from swamp to the unknown other side. We had not had a sighting since 1976. What's up?
- Mimi Rosenwald
[Both copperheads and rattlesnakes descend from high areas during droughts. It may be that their prey also comes downhill for access to water and they follow. When people do this, it is called verticality, or transhumance - following the resources. Bob Schmidt.]
8/13 - Saw Kill, HRM 98.5: The very low water level in our streams is probably stressful for the inhabitants, but allows biologists to see things we might ordinarily miss. We found two blue crab sheds in the plunge pool under the waterfall in the Saw Kill. Although we have seen them in the rapids here before, this was certainly the farthest up stream ever.
- Bob Schmidt, Ian Hetterich
8/13 - Poughkeepsie, HRM 76: The weak flow over the waterfall in the Fall Kill revealed a pothole in the falls. This is a deep round hole with a loose rock in the bottom. The flows twirl the rock around and it erodes a round hole. Today, we noticed about a dozen small eels in the pothole swimming around the edge with their heads up. They were the size of the upstream migrants we have been seeing in our eel ladder and looked like they were trying to find their way up the falls. While we were watching, a small eel fell from a wet ledge and squiggled into the pothole.
- Bob Schmidt, Ian Hetterich
8/13 - Croton-on-Hudson, HRM 35: Friends refer to my garden as "The Hummingbird Capitol." The traffic is amazing. I fill three feeders two times a day. The other day I counted (can one really count hummingbirds?) twelve birds sitting on the fence and going at each other and the feeders. They do the most astonishing "dances," breast to breast, their tails fanned, they rise high into the air, eventually so far up, I lose clear sight of them. Suddenly one of them comes whizzing back to dart and arc with another bird. Up and around, up again they swoop. The wild action is complicated by the many bees, hornets, and yellow jackets that attend the garden flowers and hover around the feeders. Altogether, it's dizzying and thrilling to watch. I find myself sitting on the porch, long stretches at a time, my head and eyes going back and forth, lots of other things being left undone as I watch, enthralled.
- Robin Fox
8/14 - Ulster County, HRM 92: As we were kayaking on Rondout Creek just above the Eddyville Dam, we saw a skunk tangling with an opossum (well, we smelled it first). Watching the interaction, it became clear that they were not fighting, but playing! The skunk was clearly the stronger, more insistent participant, but the opossum did not retreat. We watched them playing on a grass lawn for 15 minutes until their game took them out of sight. What would make them come out at this time of day?
- Dawn Osselmann, Dave Yozzo
8/14 - Esopus Meadows, HRM 87: The Esopus Meadows Lighthouse has opened for tours this summer. It was a much longer boat ride from Kingston than to our usual Rondout Lighthouse but well worth the trip. The preservation group has done a fantastic job renovating the lighthouse. There was an adult cormorant sitting on the pole where the Coast Guard used to have the light, and an osprey flew over the shallows.
- Bill Drakert
8/14 - Town of Fishkill, HRM 63.5: I think I've discovered something that eats monarch butterflies despite their toxic and bad taste. I was standing in front of a butterfly bush at the Stony Kill Farm Environmental Education Center when suddenly a monarch butterfly dropped to the ground and began thrashing around. I decided to scoop it up and move it to a quieter place so that it wouldn't get stepped on. It continued to flutter in my hands as I walked a few yards away. As I laid it on the ground and looked more closely, I noticed that a white-tailed hornet (also known as a bald-faced hornet) was attached to the body of the butterfly. I had inadvertently carried the hornet with the butterfly. By this time the butterfly was too far gone for me to do anything. I returned later in the day to the site of the kill. The wings of the butterfly were lying on the ground, but the body was almost entirely gone. I guess white-tailed hornets have very strong constitutions.
- Reba Wynn Laks
8/14 - Croton River, HRM 34: Record low tides exposed vast areas of tide flats, littered this morning with the "sheds" or moulted shells of blue crabs. I happily gathered them to take home, bag, and freeze. When school begins, the classes that come to the river will marvel at them. A dozen blue herons and several great egrets were stalking about the mud. Osprey carrying mossbunker passed overhead at frequent intervals, and an adult bald eagle flapped down the Croton River and out over the Tappan Zee. An adult Caspian tern shadowed by an immature was fishing near the Route 9 bridge. High summer.
- Christopher Letts
8/15 - The Falls at Cohoes, HRM 157: The drought that we have sensed from the sparse rainfall this summer was evident at the falls. Compared to late winter, the water was barely trickling over the rocky escarpment. We saw no eagles but a solitary, croaking raven crossed the gap. A half-mile downstream the Mohawk was running very shallow and the bottom was covered in vegetation. Scores of Canada geese and black ducks were scattered across the shaley bottom feeding on the green carpet.
- Tom Lake
[The Cohoes Falls, composed of graywacke, a hard sandstone, and shale, range from 75-90 feet high, 1,000 feet wide, and are the second highest falls (after Niagara) east of the Mississippi River. They were carved during the post-glacial draining of glacial Lake Iroquois. Tom Lake.]
8/15 - Green Island, HRM 153: The river was quiet with only a light curtain of water coming over the federal dam. High tide was lapping at the base of a cottonwood, a favorite eagle tree frequently used for loafing and preening. On a mossy hummock next to the tree were four small, white feathers, eagle feathers, from the head or neck of an adult bald eagle, the first I had seen there in nearly two years.
- Tom Lake
[Eagles are protected by the Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940. This federal law also prohibits possession of their feathers, all 7,000 of them per bird. Tom Lake.]
8/15 - Iona Island Marsh, HRM 45: It was a windy and rainy day in the marsh. One great egret, 2 snowy egrets, 2 great blue herons, 6 mallards, and a collection of barn swallows all grouped together on the mud while 2 double crested cormorants floated nearby to wait out the wind and rain. Luckily, bleak weather made way for great birding!
- Nicole Vente
8/16 - Schuylerville, HRM 186: Although it was mid-morning, the sky to the west was black as night. A band of thunderstorms was heading this way. When they finally struck, the monsoon-like torrent dropped visibility to near zero. In less than 30 minutes, three-quarters of an inch of rain fell. The rain stopped, the sun came out, and the river was as placid as a pond. An osprey was perched on a limb over the river just below Lock 5, surveying opportunities.
- Tom Lake
8/16 - Town of Poughkeepsie, HRM 72: This morning there was a juvenile sharp-shinned hawk dead on the ground outside the building where I work. On the large plate glass window on the second floor above the body there was a faint outline, in feather oil and dust, of the bird's head and wings where it had flown head-on into the window.
- David Lund
8/16 - Town of Poughkeepsie, HRM 71: A component of a severe thunderstorm called a "macro-burst" passed through the southern end of the Town of Poughkeepsie with heavy rain and winds 75-100 mph. A macroburst - a localized area of sinking air that causes straight-line wind damage - is the same thing as a microburst, but must be 2.5 miles or greater in length.
- National Weather Service
8/16 - Town of Wappinger, HRM 67: After some recent late summers and autumns with nearly no monarchs at all, it was nice to count four fluttering past today. Coupled with reported sightings to the north, we may have a nice fall migration this year.
- Tom Lake

EAST GREENWICH — Local residents will soon have to adjust to a new place where they have to pick up and deliver their mail. But how soon is still yet to be determined.
Joseph Mulvey, the real estate specialist for the United States Postal Service (USPS), presented the Post Office's plan to close the 19,000-square-foot location at 5775 Post Road, which houses both the retail services and a delivery carrier operation, and move the retail services to another location in town and the delivery carriers to the North Kingstown Post Office – which is approximately four miles south of the current East Greenwich facility.
Mulvey cited that there has been a 40-percent decline over the last five years in mail service, which has unfortunately caused a significant negative impact on the USPS's infrastructure, as a major reason why the Post Road location is planning on shutting its doors.
MOVE, from 1
"The Postal Service receives no tax dollars and relies solely on the sale of postage product and services to fund its entire operation," Mulvey said. "The Postal Service is in a very serious financial situation. It has experienced losses over the last several years. So every opportunity to reduce its expenses and generate revenue is being considered."
If the relocation of the retail services is approved and a replacement space is located, Mulvey said the USPS would anticipate a sale of the existing property on Post Road. However, Mulvey assured the Council and the public in attendance that the retail services the customers currently receive would be available to the new location and the deliveries would continue to residents and businesses and there would be "no interruption of services."
Mulvey said the reason the Post Office has not formally decided on a new location within East Greenwich is because the USPS wants to get the word out to the public and receive comments before the final project should go forward. He said that the Post Office is accepting written comments from the public and elected officials up until May 28 and they are to be sent to Mulvey at his office, located at 2 Congress St., Room 8, Milford, Mass., 01757. Mulvey also said there will be a 30-day appeal process and, after that has completed, the Post Office will then make the decision to pursue a new location in East Greenwich.
East Greenwich Town Council President Michael Isaacs, prior to Mulvey's brief presentation, clarified that the Town Council does not have jurisdiction over the USPS's plan to close the current location and that Monday's discussion was not a public hearing, but rather the Post Office, he explained, is required to give a presentation to local officials and allow both Council members and the public to answer questions about the proposed move.
Patricia Norton, owner of Norton's Marina, asked if she will continue be in possession of her Post Office box considering she does not receive mail delivery at Norton's Marina and has to travel to pick up her mail, something she has done for many years. Mulvey answered her question with both a simple 'yes' and that the USPS is proposing to have 884 Post Office boxes at the new retail location – which, Mulvey said, would only need about 2,000 square feet for proper operation. Mulvey said the current Post Road location 966 Post Office boxes, a little over 700 of them are rented.
Robert Vespia, a resident of East Greenwich, asked if any certified mail that is brought back to the current East Greenwich Post Office if no one is home would be brought to the new retail location of if he would have to pick it up in North Kingstown. Mulvey responded that customers can come back to the proposed new Post Office location in East Greenwich to pick up the certified mail or oversized packages, but it would be available after 9 a.m. the following day.
Mulvey said the Post Office's primary goal is to find a facility that currently exists and build it out to the needs of the USPS. However, no formal decision on a location will be made until a suitable buyer for the current Post Road building is confirmed.
