Why is the belt now purple too? They didn't dry-clean leather...
I am sorry, but I am not buying the story of the Blue Owl being destroyed at the cleaners and it turning purple.
I know it seems like I am always rebutting you Leroy... It's not personal. I am really just rebutting the story you were told by "Butch" Polston who never had any dealings with anybody related to Elvis during his lifetieme. I take that entire story as an urban legend. We have one person's account (who was not there) of something that supposedly happened almost 40 years ago.
I even have rebuttal evidence. Why is the belt purple that happens to match the suit perfectly? It is obviously the original belt. And here's something a lot of people don't know... It is very difficult to photograph purple because of the red element. It is at the end of the color spectrum and very often translates into blue on film. In fact, in photographing purple it is common to use purple gels to capture the purple color since it is so notorious for showing up blue.
I believe that the Owl suit has always been purple and people have always thought it was blue because it looks blue on film. I think that perhaps Elvis didn't like the purple and that's why he only wore it once.

I took these photos today with a Kodak C653 with no flash. They are unaltered. The spool of thread and piece of material on the left are royal blue. The bolt of fabric and spool of thread on the right are purple. If you don't believe me, try it yourself without any filters. As I said before, purple is so notorious for coming out looking blue on film that filters are used to capture the purple color accurately.

Looking at the images you have provided they are very different colours and you can clearly see that the left is blue and the right is purple! I could understand if there were only subtle differences but they are poles apart, so the above (to me) doesn't necessarily prove the theory right... For instance the photo you have taken is in a bright location and taken without a flash, so the differences look acute.
I hear what you are saying about Butch, yes he is only one man and he wasn't around Elvis at the time but that wouldn't disprove the story 100% because the guys who made the Jumpsuits were in touch and worked with Butch so they would have discussed possible reasons for the discolouration?
Why would Butch come up with a story about the colours changing if it was just a simple case of lighting, surely Gene & Bill would have knowledge of such things?
I'm open to reason and fully accept that it could be either theory just not sure which, as both are plausible...
Sorry, one more thing, concert photo's are unreliable because the colours they become after years of being published, scanned and uploaded is questionable at best! I have thousands of photo's that once cleaned up can be several shades different. So without good quality photo's it is very difficult to compare the colour differences.
The photo below shows (as with other photo's) that the Jumpsuit is blue and that the belt looks a different shade, which looks almost purple?
You do not have the benefit of seeing the true colors of the fabric I photographed to appreciate the dramatic change. The purple on the right is as purple as you can get in real life, but in the picture, it looks blue. Perhaps I should not have put it next to true blue. Maybe I will take a new picture and tweak the color to show how it really appears. I took another picture in sunlight with even more dramatic results than that. The reason the suit looks blue is that the stage lights washed the red out of the image which is why the purple suit looked blue on stage.
It is a very well known fact in photography and film that purple comes out blue. A blue looking suit is exactly what I would expect from purple. You can't prove that wrong. Buck Owens' Buckaroos had purple matching suits that everyone thought were blue because they are blue in pictures.
The suit at Graceland is purple, the belt is purple. Are you suggesting that they made a purple belt for a blue suit? Not plausible. And as for the different shade, the belt is suede and the suit is wool.
As for why would someone make up a story? There are lots of reasons. Perhaps it's just something he heard somewhere, maybe it's just a theory that he decided to believe and perpetuate with nobody able to disprove it.. Maybe it's bad memory on the part of those who told him. Personally, I think that story has kept going because it is a more dramatic and sensational explanation than the suit always being purple from the beginning.
Bill Belew gave two interviews about the suits... one where he said the suits were made from "stretch gabardine", in another he said they were made from "jersey knit". I'm not saying he was a liar, but it's been 40+ years since he made a lot of the suits. As a self-proclaimed expert, Butch seems to have the answer to every single question about every single suit. That alone is very suspicious and discredits him in my opinion.
And furthermore, ask yourself this, why on earth would the designers be involved in laundering the suit? and why would anybody around Elvis remember if a suit that he wore once or twice was purple or blue?
In the end, people will believe what they want, but there is more proof for what I am suggesting than the other theory. The other theory would be thrown out of court and inadmissible as evidence as hearsay.
It's amazing to me that if something is told and heard enough times it is accepted as truth even in the face of evidence to the contrary. If you throw out everything else, the suede purple belts stands as witness that the suit was always purple.

So for clarifications sake and to put this to bed once and for all, ALL photo's of Elvis in this suit despite all different lighting and settings will always appear blue unless in Graceland in which the photo's will appear purple
I'm joking of course, I'm still not 100% convinced either way, I'm sure the colour has faded and the appearance has changed over the years which has given rise to this subject coming up. In the end it is a detail that doesn't warrant anyone falling out
Nah, I hope nobody is getting upset, it's just a fun topic to me, and i think I'm right. But to clarify, it is bright lighting (on stage and from flash bulbs) that makes purple look blue. Obviously they don't allow you to use a flash in Graceland. And if you have been to Graceland to see the suits, you know how dark it is in there. It even takes a few minutes after coming in from the sunlight for your eyes to adjust to the dark. Another thing is that today's high tech cameras have much more automatic color saturation and white balance sensing and control, so they take color pictures more accurately than cameras in the past.
But all that aside, no one has even tried to give me an explanation to why the original belt is purple to match the suit. I know why... because the suit has always been purple and they made the belt purple to match.

Yes, I am having fun with this... Okay, I took another picture of the purple spool of thread. The first picture is exactly how it came out naturally. It looks blue. The second picture has been adjusted to make it look like it does in real life. I held the actual spool up to my computer screen until I was able to achieve the correct shade of purple. Now you have to admit, that's dramatic!... And would explain to an unbiased, open mind why the purple suit was always thought to be blue.
Here is a great example of what I am talking about from the book "100 Years of Western Wear". The top of Porter Wagoner's Nudie suit shows the true purple color, but as the light changes as you go down, the suit appears more blue at the bottom. The type of light at the top of the display case did not wash away the red hues the way the ambient light of the room did. Even though the book didn't scan as well as I hoped, I think you can see what I mean.
The suit was blue. It was called "Royal Blue Fireworks". The fabric however was white. All colored suits were in fact white but the fabric was dyed to get a different color. When the suit was shown on display at Gracelend the public witnessed a purple suit. This was a goof-up job by the Graceland staff who send the suity away for a cleaning job. But the wrong chemicals were used. That made the suit turn purple. Later they altered the belt. Here a picture of a replica. Elvis version was exactly the same color.
How did they "alter the belt"? You can tell the leatherwork is original by the way the edges have facings skived and sewn, so they somehow magically transformed the suede from blue to purple? That is not an explanation.
I think some people would rather climb up a tree to believe a story than to stand on the ground and accept the truth.
I don't buy it for a second, Leroy... We will just have to agree to disagree.
Sorry, but Leroy is right on the money here about the suit being discolored and turning purple instead of it's natural blue during a cleaning job. But...I will say that I would like to know how they altered the belt??? Other than that, when it comes to jumpsuits, I consider Leroy to be "the One" to go to as far as jumpsuit knowledge. I dare say that he's spent much more time with both Bill Belew/Gene Doucette & Butch & Kim Polston than ANY of us have!!!
Also, the jumpsuit wasn't just worn in Greensboro, NC on April 14 & San Bernardino, CA in November of 1972. That was the final time the suit was ever worn because it got damaged and he never wore it again. He also wore it during that first winter engagement in Las Vegas, NV during January/Febrary of 1972. That's where the pictures of Elvis displaying the suit and cape spread out comes from.

Leroy is awesome for his research... But your research is only as good as the source. Butch Polston has never played any role whatsoever with the real jumpsuits and I completely reject the premise that he is an authority on anything that happened with the original suits. And I seriously doubt Gene Doucette knew anything about what happened to the suits after they left the shop. His only role, by the way, was studding and embroidering the suits. He did not have anything to do with tailoring them, so he wasn't even the last person to work on them when they were made. Gene Doucette never even met Elvis! How or why would he know what happened to them when he isn't even the one who would have been involved in any alterations after the fact?
Gene Doucette said in an interview that Elvis loved the Aloha Eagle suit so much he wore it a lot, but kept giving away the belts, so they decided to add the waistline eagles so there would be something there when the belt was gone.... WHAT? We all know that is not true. Those waistline eagles were there from the beginning. I will give Gene a mulligan and say that maybe he doesn't remember, but if he doesn't remember the details related to the most famous jumpsuit ever, then why would you blindly believe this Owl story? (if it even came from him)
The pictures I offered for demonstration were of a deep "Barney purple" piece of cloth that almost looked blue in photos. The actual suit is not that deep of a color, it is lighter, more of an "eggplant purple" which looks completely blue in photos. If you are willing to reject all of that evidence and believe a story to the contrary, you are betraying your own common sense because the belt stands as witness to the fact that the suit has always been the same color.
I work with materials, dyes, and leather all the time. It is a simple fact that you cannot dye a color from darker to lighter... Period! But even if you could, you would not be able to dye that suede Owl belt because of all the embellishments. The prime reason being that you could not distribute the dye evenly and smoothly around all the stars, bars, grommets and owls and avoid splotching (ruining) the extremely absorbent suede. You would also have to be concerned about the chemical dye itself interacting with the embellishments. Those at Graceland certainly would not have taken such a risk on an item with the value of Elvis' original Owl belt!
But in spite of these facts, I am supposed to believe that they not only were able to defy the laws of nature and physics and successfully dye deep royal blue to eggplant purple, but somehow they were lucky enough to come up with the perfect shade of purple to match a suit that was supposedly an accidental color to begin with?... But yet shows no variation or variegation whatsoever? Think about it. There is no variegation anywhere. If it was faded or damaged, there would be some. I find it easier to believe that the purple belt matches the suit because it was supposed to match it from the beginning.
People will believe what they want, I am just astounded that people are willing to do so without objectivity.
I have one last thing to say on this subject... And I can't believe I neglected to point this out earlier... And if this doesn't make you question the story, nothing will... BLUE CANNOT FADE TO PURPLE BECAUSE BLUE IS A PRIMARY COLOR! Let me say that again... BLUE IS A PRIMARY COLOR! TO GET PURPLE, YOU HAVE TO ADD RED! Did they dye the suit red at the cleaners? Now that is ridiculous. To say the suit faded from blue to purple is the exact same thing as saying yellow can fade to orange. Be honest, does the "story" make sense? NO WAY.
Hi Brad,
What I was going to say is that this belt is one of the few belts which is not made out of leather!
If you look close you can see that it's made of other material. (can't think of the name of it right now).
That material was dyed. And the color has changed.
Later on IC made another blue suit: the lucky suit (currently on display in Hollywood casino in Tunica).
I made photos using flash there (which was allowed). And also that suit has faded colors and now looks more purple then blue.
Also that gabardine material was dyed before the suit was made.
So my conclusion would be that both suits and the belt was blue. But that using dry cleaning had it's effect on the dye.
Not a cleaning mistake, but just it's natural causes of cleaning.
Although it remains strange as to why blue would change into purple. Obviously the belt wasn't washed. But color changed nonetheless.

Denver Botanic Gardens Continues to Transform and Flourish
Denver Botanic Gardens has made great strides in the historic transformation of the Gardens. After exiting the greatly enhanced parking structure, visitors are now greeted with the impressive Bonfils-Stanton Visitor Center, home of the Shop at the Gardens. Once inside the Gardens, take note of the state-of-the-art Greenhouse Complex complete with an Orangery, located just next to Marnie's Pavilion. Additionally, Mordecai Children's Garden is now completed - kids are encouraged to explore, learn and grow. These structures not only add beauty to the Gardens, but also facilitate research, education and horticultural excellence.
Prior to the construction, Denver Botanic Gardens, Tryba Architects, Phipps Construction Company and our valued neighbors worked side-by-side to develop plans for the expansion and transformation of the Gardens.
Created with the Gardens' core values – transformation, sustainability, diversity and relevance – as the platform, the design and new construction incorporate energy-saving strategies with environmental sustainability in every aspect of the project.
The partnership between our neighbors, the architects, builders and everyone at Denver Botanic Gardens will ensure that the Gardens will be recognized as one of the premiere botanic gardens in the world, and continue to be one of Denver's richest cultural jewels for generations to come.

Strasburg to start opening day plus more
"Not that there was any uncertainty about it, but Davey Johnson made it official nonetheless this morning: Stephen Strasburg will start Opening Day for the Nationals.
"I guess you want me to say it," the 70-year-old manager said. "He's going to be my Opening Day starter. You drug it out of me."
Johnson's selection of Strasburg is hardly a surprise. The right-hander got the Opening Day nod last season in Chicago, then went 15-6 with a 3.16 ERA and 197 strikeouts before his much-debated shutdown in early September after 159 1/3 innings."

CJ Wilson effective in off-day assignment
"For most major league veterans, spring training is a pretty low-key affair. All you have to do is get a little work in, break a sweat occasionally, and fine-tune a few things for the regular season.
But even by those standards Tuesday was a relaxing day for left-hander C.J. Wilson, who pitched four innings against a team made up primarily of minor leaguers on what was, for the rest of the Angels, a day off.
"We have to make it like a real game even though we're just facing our own guys," Wilson said. "So I'm trying to go in and kind of get rah-rah and have fun. 'Let's go! Let's beat these Angels!'"

Carl Crawford faces live major league pitching
"Carl Crawford faced relievers Kenley Jansen andJ.P. Howell on Tuesday, marking the first time he took live batting practice against major league pitchers since he was shut down two weeks ago.
"A step in the right direction," said Crawford, who resumed working out last week.
Crawford, who is recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery, was encouraged by how he felt.
"Your timing at this point is never going to be the way you want it, but it wasn't as far off as I would expect it to be, either," he said."

Carlos Gomez agrees to deal with Brewers
"Outfielder Carlos Gomez and the Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a $28.3 million, four-year contract.
The 27-year-old outfielder would have been eligible for free agency after this season. He had agreed to a $4.3 million, one-year deal in January, and the new contract includes salaries of $7 million in 2014, $8 million in 2015 and $9 million in 2016."
Hochevar transitioned to bullpen
"Right-hander Luke Hochevar, eternally inconsistent as a starter, is shifting, at least temporarily, to the Royals' bullpen.
Manager Ned Yost announced the move Wednesday morning prior to a game against Seattle at Surprise Stadium.
"I think it makes us a better team," Yost said. "I think it makes us a stronger team. It gives us a better chance to win every day. With three weeks left, I want to get him acclimated to that role."

Casey Kelly might need "Tommy John" surgery
"The already cloudy picture regarding Padres starting pitching turned darker Wednesday afternoon when it Padres manager Bud Black confirmed that right-hander Casey Kelly has had tests on his right elbow and could be a candidate for elbow reconstruction surgery.
"Anything is possible," the Padres manager said of the possibility that Kelly would be the Padres pitcher to have "Tommy John" surgery in the last 10 months.
"It is that part of the elbow that we're concerned about," Black continued. "The doctors are concerned about what the tests looked like. There's going to be a lot of discussion between Kelly and his family. They'll probably want a second opinion."

Dodgers hoping plasma injection helps Greinke
"Zack Greinke has a sore elbow and Chad Billingsley doesn't, neither of which the Dodgers really expected this spring.
What they have in common is that Billingsley's partially torn elbow ligament responded last year to injections of platelet-rich plasma, and now the Dodgers are waiting to see if a similar injection, along with anti-inflammatory medication like cortisone, will have the same beneficial result with Greinke.
The Dodgers have been using the treatment since 2008, when reliever Takashi Saito responded well to the procedure as has Billingsley, avoiding Tommy John surgery."

Brennan Boesch released
"The Detroit Tigers have released outfielder Brennan Boesch, the club announced Wednesday morning.
The Tigers should have nontendered the 27-year-old outfielder last December, but they thought they could trade him. As it turned out, they weren't getting any bites, so cutting bait now was the right move. Boesch's contract for the 2013 season was worth $2.3 million. By cutting him now, the Tigers only owe him a sixth ($383,333) of that.
Also note that the Tigers have Austin Jackson, Torii Hunter, Andy Dirks, Quintin Berry andAvisail Garcia as outfield options, so there's no need for Boesch.
Boesch finished fifth in AL Rookie of the Year voting in 2010 and then hit .283/.341/.458 with 16 homers in just 115 games in 2011, but last season was a different matter. Boesch regressed to .240/.286/.372 with 12 homers in 503 plate appearances. He struck out 104 times while walking just 26. For those into the advanced metrics, Boesch's WAR was 2.3 in 2011 and negative-1.4 last season."

For those who live in frigid areas of the country during the winter months, it may be worth bundling up to grill up holiday favorites on the Big Green Egg.This Kamado-style grill is efficient in trapping heat and giving food a smokey, unique taste that can only be found through this traditional style of cooking. The Big Green Egg has only one a small vent at the top to keep heat from escaping and require less charcoal for fire. The grill is crafted from ceramic which also enables it to retain heat as well.This Thanksgiving, families can consider grilling slices of roasted turkey to give variety to their big dinner. Similar to other grills, the Big Green Egg can be used to give zest to vegetables and other side dishes as well.During holiday celebrations the Big Green Egg can be used to cook main courses such as steak or turkey. Even amateur chefs can use the appliance and wow guests with their creations. The Big Green Egg has given a new meaning to conventional grilling.

A few individuals opposing the Streetscape initiative decided not to trust the democratic process of voting. Apparently they feared they would lose. So they resorted instead to threats, rage, and a promise to tear the community apart if they didn't get their way. The Town Council, in order to avoid such a damaging scenario, agreed to take Streetscape off the ballot.
That means Ridgway will not get the needed infrastructure improvements, we will not bring new jobs and businesses to town with an improved Clinton Street, and – most importantly – the people will not be allowed to vote on this initiative.
The Streetscape committee spent over a year and hundreds of hours of volunteer time educating ourselves about this project, then held several public meetings airing every point of view – often heatedly – took surveys, and talked one-on-one to scores of citizens (particularly business owners) to explain the project and to ascertain public opinion.
It appeared that the majority of people want these improvements and are willing to pay their share of the tax increase, but that some business owners are very concerned about the impact of that tax on their enterprises – a legitimate concern, which we shared with the Town Council.
The Council in response whittled $800,000 off the $3.5 million original cost and thought they could reduce the price even more with state funds. That was not satisfactory to those individuals who felt they – not the public – should have the right to determine this issue.
On September 4, they demanded a private meeting with the Mayor and Town Manager, which they got and used to threaten mayhem. Knowing that the Council had only one more day in which to consider the initiative, the Mayor called a special Council meeting to give these individuals yet another chance to state their case – a meeting at which only opponents and press were present.
At that meeting, the Council was subjected to a harangue – promises of picketing, law suits, investigations into whether notices had been legally correct, negative press (further undermining Ridgway's attempt to build a promising future), plastering the town and outskirts with negative signs, and every sort of harassment of the town and voters they could imagine.
While trying to influence public opinion is a basic civic right, threatening to do so in a punitive manner and for the clear purpose of bullying the Council into denying a public vote is reprehensible. It is not an honest attempt to educate people about the pros and cons of a measure – it is an attempt to prevent the public from having a voice.
Those who spoke to the Council on September 5 said they feared town "retribution" for their position. The only retribution they need fear is from their customers, and not because of their position but because of their tactics – deliberately undermining the democratic process with threats designed to forestall a vote. Many of us will not financially support those who promote and condone such behavior – we will vote with our pocketbooks.
– Paula James, Co-Chair, Ridgway Streetscape Committee

A kerosene heating unit accidentally flipped over, spreading kerosene on the ground and causing a huge blaze, said Col. Fareed Sharaa.
"The fire spread quickly to floor mattresses, where the refugee family was sleeping, killing all its members," Sharaa said in a written statement. He said four others from a different family were hospitalized with burns.
Police said there was no immediate information on the identity of those killed and whether any relatives survived.
Sharaa said the kerosene heaters are used in caravans in the King Hussein Gardens in Ramtha on the border with Syria. The site is a temporary shelter for refugees as their identity is being established before they are moved to a nearby desert camp. Several refugee families share each caravan as sleeping quarters.
The refugees are then moved to the Zaatari camp. It shelters nearly 55,000 Syrians. In recent days they have been battered by a flash flood caused by torrential rains and freezing temperatures in the Mideast's fiercest storm in years.
There are 235,000 other Syrians living outside the camp in cities across Jordan. Some of them share apartments or are being hosted by Jordanian families.

WASHINGTON – Maine Sen. Angus King said he didn't hear anything from Chuck Hagel on Thursday that would disqualify him from being the next secretary of defense despite "overly negative" questioning by several Republicans.
Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, center, questions Chuck Hagel, a former two-term senator and President Obama's choice for defense secretary, during his confirmation hearing at the Senate Armed Services Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., listens at left. Hagel faced strong GOP resistance and was forced to explain past remarks and votes even as he appeared on a path to confirmation as Obama second-term defense secretary and the nation's 24th Pentagon chief.

Republican Chuck Hagel, a former two-term senator and President Obama's choice to lead the Pentagon, arrives at the Senate Armed Services Committee for his confirmation hearing, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013. Former committee chairman, Democrat Sam Nunn, left, introduced Hagel. If confirmed, Hagel, a decorated Vietnam combat veteran, would be the first enlisted man to serve as defense secretary. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
King noted that, as a freshman senator attending his first confirmation hearing, he had little experience to compare to Thursday's proceedings.
"I thought Republicans were overly negative. I don't know any other way to characterize it," King said in an interview in his Senate office after the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
Although King declined to say outright that he would support Hagel, he appeared to lean that way. He praised the former senator's experience and commitment, and said his willingness to lead the Defense Department is "a tremendous service to the country."
"I think he has a strong record," King said. "Unless something comes out in the next couple of days, I didn't hear anything today that I thought was a disqualification."
King, an independent caucusing with the Democrats, asked Hagel several management-related questions that were undeniably softer than the queries by several Republicans about the nominee's attitudes toward Israel, Iran and nuclear weapons.
King joked that, as a Nebraskan, Hagel probably doesn't wake up every morning thinking about the Navy but added that he "hoped to correct that over the next few years" if Hagel is confirmed.
King asked how Hagel would manage one of the largest and most complex bureaucracies in the world. He also asked what the nominee thinks of multi-year contracts -- an important issue for defense contractors such as Bath Iron Works and its suppliers because without them it is harder to plan. Concerns about long-term contracts and potential forced spending cuts overshadow the upcoming budget.
Hagel indicated that he supports multi-year defense contracts and that it is "absolutely essential to our future" that the nation maintain a strong and growing military-industrial base.
"The Navy is an indispensable part of our security apparatus" and the most visible projection of U.S. power around the world, Hagel said. "I am a strong supporter of advancing our Navy technology and efforts."
King suggested that if confirmed, Hagel look at expanding programs to help military personnel transition to civilian life and find jobs after leaving the service. He also raised concerns about the threat of cyber attacks, and predicted they would probably be the next kind of warfare facing the United States.
King said afterward that he is also submitting several questions in writing to Hagel specific to Bath Iron Works, the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and New Balance, which hopes to supply additional athletic footwear to the military.

Easy ways to boost your self-confidenceResearch has shown that seeing idealized images of thin, flawless-looking supermodels and celebritiescan make women feel bad about themselves. But a new survey from German beauty company Braun suggests that women feel judged every day, regardless of the situation.
Some of the instances in which women don't feel they "measure up"? Dropping their kids off at school, giving a presentation at work, and shopping. Yikes!
Everyone has a down day once in a while, but in a world where women are arguably enjoying more success than ever, why do so many feel so bad about themselves?
To start, we live in a culture that perpetuates judgment based on looks and weight, says Jennifer Lombardi, executive director of the Sacremento-based Eating Recovery Center of California. It starts early, with children as young as five learning that being "thin" or "skinny" is good and being "fat" is bad, she says.
Then add that we live in the golden age of the 24-hour newsRead More »from Is Self-Confidence at an All-Time Low?

Splash crowned its first winner Tuesday and Rory Bushfield walked away with the Crystal Splash trophy (yes, that's what it's called). The extreme freestyle skier and his insane acrobatics, not to mention ruptured eardrum, emphatically beat out Drake Bell and runner-up Nicole Eggert, who suffered a nasty and literal backflop into the water on her final dive. "It was up to the fans [to vote for the winner], so you never know what's going to happen," Bushfield tells TVGuide.com. "But Nicole was pretty badass. She went for that double and almost had it." See whate else Bushfield, had to say about his victory, if Bell was really calling him out and doing the show for his late wife, pioneering freestyle skier Sarah Burke.read more

Daryl Hannah ("Grumpy Old Men," "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman") is the Cro-Magnon who seeks shelter among a tribe of Neanderthals. Extraordinary location photography and a script by John Sayles ("Passion Fish'" "Eight Men Out") make this a truly stunning motion picture.

Slight increase in Aurora budget, tax levy in 2013
By Stephanie Lulay email@example.com December 10, 2012 1:36PM

Updated: January 12, 2013 6:13AM
AURORA — Aldermen are scheduled to vote Tuesday on the proposed 2013 city budget.
Under the proposed $369 million budget, spending would increase by 2 percent over the 2012 budget. Most of the increase in spending can be attributed to capital costs associated with the building of a new main library branch.
Despite the "modestly" improving economic climate, the city is still focusing on the basics, said City Chief of Staff Carie Anne Ergo.
The city plans to hire a grant writer as well as a forensic examiner at the Police Department to improve efficiency, Ergo said, but the number of full-time workers the city employees will stay the same in 2013.
City revenue is expected to remain on par with 2012 numbers, Ergo said.
"Generally speaking, revenues are modestly improving," said Brian Caputo, city finance director. But property taxes, the city's biggest share of revenue, continue to decline.
Police and Fire
The Police Department will aim to spend $260,000 on a four-dog canine unit and costs associated with the unit.
Ergo said the city previously had a canine unit, but didn't replace the dogs immediately when they died during tough budget times. In the meantime, Aurora police officers have called on canine units from Kane County, Joliet or Naperville, putting stress on those neighboring departments. The ongoing cost of the canine program will be $8,000 a year.
Police are expected to hire a forensic examiner at a salary of $66,900.
Ergo said the forensic examiner will save police time by doing digital technology work.
"Almost every crime committed in Aurora today has an electronic component to it," she said. "Whether the (criminal) used a cell phone, a video, there's lot of time that's spent tracking those things down."
Caputo also said 20 new squad cars would be purchased in 2013.
Firefighters will replace two vehicles — an ambulance and a fire engine – at a cost of $665,000.
Ergo said the department replaced two engines, a platform truck and one ambulance last year.
"Where we can, we're prioritizing public safety spending again," Ergo said.
Other spending
The city has also budgeted:
About $20 million to be spent on the library project in 2013
$1.6 million for land acquisition for non-specific economic development projects.
$1.6 million on the Station Boulevard project to link Liberty Street to Meridian Parkway
Operating costs associated with RiverEdge Park; the city has an 18-month agreement with the Aurora Civic Center Authority to pay $250,000 toward programming and will reimburse for estimated $350,000 in maintenance
$200,000 for museum operating grants and $175,000 to replace the SciTech Museum roof at the city-owned building
$150,000 for an economic development initiative to market the city as a cohesive brand, part of a four-year project
$131,000 for a mounted license plate scanner under the city's new parking program
$100,000 on trees in 2013, $40,000 more than in 2012
$56,700 to hire a grant writer, tasks previously absorbed by staff — "We weren't really all that well organized at identifying grant (opportunities)," Caputo said.
A first-year $50,000 grant for the Quad County African American Chamber of Commerce, mirroring a grant previously given to the Aurora Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
$39,000 to install an ATM-style bill payment kiosk outside of City Hall
Tax levy
Residents can expect their city tax bill to be close to last year's bill.
Caputo said he expects the total city tax levy (including the library tax levy) to increase by 2.3 percent. The slight increase can be attributed to a higher levy by the library to pay for the building of a new main library downtown and rising pension costs, he said.
"The general fund levy is the same as it was in 2005," said Ergo. "(But) we cannot control state mandated pensions. We cannot control the benefit levels that are passed by state representatives."
The city's $362 million budget in 2012 was on par with the 2011 budget. The 2012 budget also factored in an $18 million surplus from 2011.
In 2010, the City Council approved a $340 million budget that attempted to eliminate an $18 million deficit by cutting city spending by $7 million and delaying planned projects.
