Becker College is looking to renovate the one-time home of former local industrial magnate John Woodman Higgins for re-use as an education facility, to include additional classroom space for its nationally-recognized video game design program.
But the Historical Commission has asked for more information from the college about its proposal to replace many of the windows in the 2 1/2-story, 100-year-old home with ones that are more energy-efficient.
In particular, the commission wants an analysis of the cost to repair the windows compared to replacing them.
It has asked for that information for its next meeting on March 7.
To be able to proceed with the project, Becker has to obtain from the Historical Commission a waiver to the city's demolition delay ordinance.
Because the home is listed on the Massachusetts Cultural Resource Information System, it falls under the purview of the demolition delay ordinance, which puts a 12-month hold on the demolition of historic structures to allow time to explore alternative uses.
The replacement of windows is one of the many provisions included in the demolition delay ordinance. Without the waiver, Becker would not be able to proceed with the project to at least another year.
The home, located at 80 William St., was built around 1912 and has been owned by Becker since 2011. It is also registered in the National Register of Historic Places as a National Register District and National Register Multiple Resource Area.
The property includes a 9,147-square-foot main home, which has 17 total rooms, as well as a 1,640-square-foot detached carriage house.
Becker wants to reuse the first floor of the main home as a place where seminars and conferences can be held by students, faculty and administration, according to William J. Maisello, the project architect.
He said the second floor would be renovated into video gaming design pods for no more than 15 students, along with support staff.
Meanwhile, the carriage house would be converted into two computer labs/classrooms.
To connect the carriage house with the main house, Mr. Maisello said an addition will be built between the two that complements the existing stucco clad terra cotta masonry.
He said the addition will allow for accessibility -- it will house an elevator for the building -- and ease of use by students and guests.
He said Becker intends to maintain the architectural integrity of the home throughout. He said one of the major items, though, will be the replacement of most of the windows in the building with more energy-efficient ones that match the style and profile of what is already there.
Many of the windows now in place have non-tempered, single-pane glass that is not insulated and are in fair condition at best.
�The goal of the project is to enhance the learning experience for our students,� Ken Cameron, assistant vice president of administration, told the Historical Commission last week. �We have a nationally recognized gaming program and we want to be able to provide those students with additional space where they can really pursue their hopes and dreams.
�At the same time, we are working to try to make all of our buildings more energy efficient,� he added. �This is a huge building for us; it's a big building. We would like to make it as energy efficient as possible and that's the reason why we would like to go with replacement windows.�
As it has done with many other previous requests for replacement window involving historic properties, the Historical Commission wants consideration also given to repairing as many of the existing windows as possible instead of replacing all of them.
�Whenever somebody looks to replace any original windows, we also like them to look at whether they can be repaired,� said Commission Chairman Timothy McCann. �We like to see if any of the original windows can be saved. Before we can look at an economic hardship (to repairing the windows), we need some hard numbers, though.�
Commissioner James Crowley said the commission has learned through past experience that through the use of technology old windows can be made fairly close energy-efficient wise to newer ones.
�The current windows clearly have architectural and historical value,� Mr. Crowley said. �So if we are going to consider economic hardship to allow for the replacement of these windows, we need a fairly detailed analysis of what the cost would be to repair them compared to the replacement cost.�
Commissioner Kevin Provencher said the commission's request is nothing out of the ordinary.
�We certainly understand the intent of what (Becker) is trying to do,� he said. �We see this type of application all the time and we have the same discussion every time. For the sake of consistency and fairness to all of those applicants who have come before us in the past, we have to have a detailed cost analysis. For us to make a good decision, we would feel more comfortable seeing that data.�

This home of the Buonarroti family stands on the site of three houses, purchased by Michelangelo between 1516 and 1525. The artist lived them. The palazzo built at the wishes of the great grandnephew of the artist, Michelangelo the Younger (1568-1647), was bequeathed by the last surviving descendant (Cosimo, who died in 1858) to the city of Florence.
In 1959 it was open to the public as a museum, hosting the collections of art and archaeology of the Buonarroti family. The itinerary touches the 22 expositional rooms and it is a great way to see all of the most famous works of art. From room 1 to room 9 one should note the Busto di Michelangelo by Daniele da Volterra, to then admire the beautiful works by Vincenzo Danti and by Cristofano Allori, respectively: Venere con due amorini and two Miracoli.
In room 8 there are terrecotte displayed that can be placed in the time frame 1400-1500, which came from the famous boutique of Andrea della Robbia. An object in homage to the first efforts of the artists seems to be Michelangelo fanciullo scolpisce la testa del fauno di Cesare Zocchi.
In room 9 one can see the archaeological collections collected in the course of the 1600' s-1700 by the artist's descendents. On the first floor of the museum one can enter in room 11 to see that certain painting with 'nude figures that combat in their immobility, that which [Michelangelo] had started with the force of a great man and then never finished, a beautiful thing'. It is the relief dated 1490-92, Battaglia dei centauri, whose theme was advised by the artist Poliziano, the poet that was part of Lorenzo il Magnifico's family.
Beautiful the nude bodies in conflict among themselves. Looking at the female figure of the group situated at the centre of the composition, she is held still by a centaur and grasped by her hair by another of the group. Another youthful work by, the Madonna della scala (1490-92), a surprising relief flattened in marble, that Vasari considered an imitation of the 'stiacciati' reliefs by Donatello.
Room 12 reserves an exuberant Modello per dio fluviale (1524) constructed by Michelangelo, in wood, wool and terracotta, probably for the realization of a sculpture that would be used in the New Sacristy of San Lorenzo. Also the model project for the façade of the same church is displayed in this sort of temple dedicated to the genial artist. It was designed by Pietro Urbano using Michelangelo's design (1517 c.).
The project did not go ahead, even though it was commissioned by Pope Leone X and even though Michelangelo had the wooden model at his disposition. Today the facade of the Basilica di San Lorenzo is presented in simple stone, interrupted by three substituted openings. Even room 13 reserves a famous work. It is the Crocifisso that was made for the prior of Santo Spirito, Niccolò di Giovanni, by Lapo Bicchiellini.
Believed to be lost for a long time, it was rediscovered under another painting, in 1962, which alternated its authenticity. The critics were divided in its attribution, to Buonarroti or to Taddeo Curradi. Room 15 offers works that are derived from Michelangelo: Copia del Giudizio Universale, copia del gruppo centrale of the same work by the hand of Alessandro Allori.
Room 18 is a small jewel inside the treasure chest of memories that Michelangelo il Giovane celebrated in honour of his forefather. One may admire the pavement realized with varnished ceramics from Montelupo, the wooden designs on the doors designed by Pietro da Cortona and the pictorial cycle that depicts episodes of the artist's life, among the authors: Giovanni Bilivert, Empoli, Matteo Rosselli, Passignano. Very important are the lateral paintings in which the celebrated Artemisia Gentileschi painted Allegorie di Virtù.
The so-called room of the night and of the day, room 19, presents frescoes by Pietro da Cortona. From one opening one passes into the studio of Michelangelo il Giovane, in which it is possible to admire the portrait of Cristofano Allori from 1610.
The room of the Angels is room 20 in which it is possible to see another magnificent wooden design, by Pietro da Cortona, in addition to a copia della Madonna della Scala realized by Giambologna when the original work was donated to Cosimo I by Leonardo Buonarroti in 1566 (it would then be given back from Cosimo II to Michelangelo il Giovane).
Cecco Bravo, 'painter without rules', frescoed the ceiling of the Library (room 21). Here there are Etruscan bronzes, numismatic collections and other ancient collection from Michelangelo il Giovane and from Filippo as well as other designs by Michelangelo: Torso virile, Ercole e Caco, Crocifisso. Room 22, the last one, conducts us to the end of the visit giving us a view of ancient sculptures and the head of the Hellenistic period of Apollo, the god of all arts.

Trojans, Wildcats end team wrestling seasons
Both Sturgis and Three Rivers had their team wrestling season ended at the Edwardsburg District Thursday night.
Sturgis lost to Niles 54-15, While the Wildcats were defeated by Edwardsburg 60-24.
The Trojans were hindered, voiding three weight classes.
"Niles has been ranked all season, they came out pumped," Sturgis coach Bryan Boughton said. "We started out a little slow, we need to step it up and get ready for Saturday."
Getting wins for Sturgis were, Alejandro Soto (112) with a void, Nolan Tom (135) a 9-7 decision and Zach Mathews (140) a pin in 3:22.
Getting wins for Three Rivers was Derek Tulla (130) with a pin late in the third period.
John Abel (145) recorded a pinfall at 4:56 and at 152, Dallas Todd got a pin in 4:46.
Rounding out the victories was Leo Eggelston (215) with a pin in 1:46.
"With four starters out of the original line up tonight I was proud of how the backups went after Edwardsburg tonight and not giving up," Three Rivers coach Pete Bachinski said. "It was a solid team effort tonight.
"Finishing 13-5 with this young group isn't a bad thing, Bachinski added. "With only two seniors in this line up tonight I was proud of the way we preformed. We just got to keep our heads up and continue to build for next season because this team has the potential to do good things."
Both Sturgis and Three Rivers will battle in the individual district Saturday at Stevensville-Lakeshore.

Havana City (Spanish: Ciudad de la Habana) is the capital city of Cuba, and one of the fourteen provinces of the Republic of Cuba.
Cuba has a tropical climate, with warm, humid weather all year long, though cold temperatures have occured in the mountains before. Being surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba has warm water year round, with winter water temperatures at 75F, spring and fall temperatures at 78F and summer temperatures at 82F.
Before the Communist revolution, Havana was one of the vacation hot-spots of the Caribbean, and since Cuba reopened to tourism in the 1990s, it has become a popular destination once again, albeit with many fewer U.S. citizens, due to an almost total ban on travel maintained by the U.S. federal government. However, there will be lots of tourists at any time of year, so expect huge crowds and long lines in places.
El Habanero [5] and Tribuna de La Habana [6] are the local periodicals. The H Magazine + Guide [7] is an interesting publication about Havana beyond common stereotypes.
Cuba has two currencies, the Cuban Peso (CUP) and the Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC). Most tourists will be using the CUC for all purchases, hotels, taxis and activities. The CUC was created to replace all the US$ that was used in the tourist industry until the late 1990s.
For more information check the section on Money in the Cuba article.
Get in
By plane
Jose Marti International Airport (IATA: HAV) has three separate terminals. Terminal 1 is for internal (domestic) flights, Terminal 2 is mainly for charter flights from the USA and Terminal 3 is used for all other international flights.
Customs officials can be very strict, and will probably snoop out any suspicious electronics or other items. Customs officials and immigration officials also work slowly and baggage reclaim is very slow, so expect a very long wait when entering the country.
As of September 2012, new duties rules have been put in place affecting anything brought into the country, so pack accordingly. The first 44 kilos of your luggage is free (regardless of the content), however after that there is a 2 CUC per kilo charge for anything over that weight. Certain items (most electronics, small appliances, etc) will be charged a 100% duty relative to their value (it's helpful to have a receipt for what it cost you in this regard, otherwise the customs officials will use their own price schedule which is often quite inflated). Any communications gear (two-way radios, satellite TV equipment, even walkie-talkies) will be confiscated with no questions asked. This applies not only to charter operators coming into the country from the U.S. but any entry into Cuba, regardless of the port of departure.
The local airline, Cubana de Aviación offers decent service but reservations are notoriously hard to secure (usually two weeks in advance is a minimum). Check with HAVANTUR offices located throughout the city and at major hotels for reservations. Be prepared to pay in cash.
By train
Most trains in eastern Cuba have been suspended due to poor track conditions. Only the following trains were operating to Havana in September 2007. All services run on alternate days only.
Since these trains run every other day (when they are operating at all), you will need to confirm in advance that they are running on the day you wish to travel.
There is also the Hershey electric train running several times a day between Havana (Casa Blanca station) and Matanzas ('downtown' - not the main Matanzas station). The Hershey train cars are very dilapidated and will appeal certainly to die-hard train enthusiasts - but will be a good adventure for many others. The trip takes a minimum of four hours regardless of what the schedule says. Most of the seats are at least partially broken - but you should be able to find someplace to sit down. At any point of time there are two trains running on this single-track railway: one Matanzas-bound and one Casablanca-bound, provided that both trains are operational. Theoretically you can get off at Hershey and catch the train way back by walking across the platform - either train will wait for another's arrival because technically a train cannot leave Hershey station (which serves as the midway dual-track meetup point) while another is still occupying the only track of its onward leg.
By car
Hiring a car in Cuba will cost you from 33 to 106CUC per day. The car will have a special tourist plate, which means you will be required to give generous tips every time you park your car in a crowded place. Taking into account the all-around unreliability of Cuban transport, hiring a car can be the right choice for those who don't want any hassle whatsoever. Please keep in mind that picking up hitchhikers is almost a moral obligation for the "aware" tourist, especially when travelling between cities. Picking up a hitchhiker can be the best way to arrive to your destination without getting lost.
By bus
Viazul [8] operates an inter-city coach service to/from most major destinations including Camagüey, Cienfuegos, Matanzas, Pinar del Rio, Sancti Spiritus, Santa Clara, Santiago de Cuba, Trinidad, Varadero and Viñales. The main Viazul bus terminal is 3km southwest of central Havana. Departing buses also stop at the central (Astro) bus terminal, but arriving buses do not. If you are using the central bus terminal, you buy tickets and wait for the bus in a separate air-conditioned office near the west entrance of the terminal. Schedules are posted on the Viazul website.
Astro can get you from Havana to almost anywhere in Cuba.
By boat
Due to political circumstances, it is difficult to enter Cuba by sea. Visiting mariners need to make arrangements in advance of entering port to avoid difficulties. Also, most ports are closed to unauthorised visitors.
Get around
By taxi
As a tourist, the most convenient way of getting around Havana is by taxi. Some of the taxis are old American Chevys from the 1950's, others are (somewhat) newer Russian Ladas, whilst most tourist taxis are modern Peugeots, Skodas and even Mercedes.
It is illegal for tourists to ride in anything other than the official government taxis. However, it is often easier to wave down one of the old Chevys or Ladas. When riding in an illegal taxi, negotiate the fare ahead of time. The fare in illegal taxis will be no cheaper than the official taxi fare. Around the city, taking illegal taxis should be no problem. However, taking an illegal taxi to or from the airport may attract the attention of the police.
Taxi collectivos are the old, beaten-up yank-tanks with a taxi sign on the roof or in the front window. Tourists are not supposed to take them, but you will rarely run into problems and they are a fun and cheap alternative to the state-run taxis. They have set fares and run set routes, so you may need some assistance when taking them the first few times.
Fares vary from 10 CUP for a short (5 km) run during the day to 20 CUP for a longer run or at night. The drivers are generally honest regarding the fares, but it is best not to appear oblivious by asking how much at the end of the trip. Always watch what the other passengers give: if in doubt, give only 10 CUP unless the driver asks for another 10. There can be a long wait trying to get a taxi collectivo as they are very popular with Cubans and often full, but the experience and the savings make it worthwhile.
Coco Taxis and yellow three wheel motorbikes are a cheap way of getting around central Havana.
By bus
Havana used to have a public transportation service called the El Camello, a split-level bus pulled by a semi-truck, and resembling a 2 humped camel (thus the name). Camellos finished operation in April 2008 and were replaced by modern city buses imported from China.
The cost of riding the new city bus is 1 national peso to anywhere in the city (the driver will not give you change). Expect some overcrowding, there are plenty of buses running though, so if the one you want is full simply wait for the next one. There are few clearly marked bus stops on route, but it's clear where they stop usually as you will have other waiting at the side of the road.
Other local buses can also get crowded, but in the suburbs, they are a practical means of transport for visitors.
By car
Hiring a car can be an interesting experience as the road signs are not particularly good. Some travelers suggest picking up hitchhikers and using their local expertise to get you where you want to go. There is one high way constructed by the Soviet Union on the island's northern side. It was not finished due to the fall of the Soviet Union, but is the easiest way to head east-west. Most other roads are in terrible condition. If you are leaving Havana, make sure you do it in an air conditioned jeep, as normal cars cannot be expected to cope with the terrain of the "roads".
By cycle
Cycling can be a great way to get around Cuba. There are a number of international tour companies [9] [10]that offer guided tours, the most popular is from Havana to Santiago de Cuba. If you are traveling in February and March avoid the west to east approach as the trade winds are tough to cycle against.
By foot
Walking around Havana is by far the best way to see and experience the city: get a decent map of the city and discover new sights on foot.
Live Music
Nearly every restaurant and hotel in town has a decent house band playing old favorites.
Havana is a surprisingly expensive city to stay in; if you stay in hotels and eat in restaurants it can work out to be nearly as expensive as other popular international destinations. The problem is that Cuba has a dual economy, if you could live on pesos it would be incredibly cheap. Sadly, as a tourist this is virtually impossible. Most peso hotels won't take foreigners or, if they do you have to pay in CUC. If you are on any kind of a budget it is advised to stay in casas particulares; it is much cheaper, often more comfortable and the food (a recurring theme in Cuba) is almost invariably better.
ATMs are not too hard to find in downtown Havana, but bear in mind that American credit- and debit-cards can not be used in Havana. Note that even credit cards issued in countries other than the USA may be issued by a bank whose parent company is a U.S. corporation. In this case, the card will not work as the parent company is bound by U.S. law. Even banks wholly owned by non-American companies may have a policy on blocking Cuban transactions in order not to compromise their US business. Always check with your bank or credit card company before leaving home to see if your card will work in Havana. Also, the ATMs do not accept MasterCard/Maestro but are marked to accept Visa.
You can withdraw money from your MasterCard in a couple of exchange offices. There is one in the basement of the Hotel Nacional, but expect quite steep service fees.
Exchanging US dollars in a CADECA (Casa de cambio) will incur a 10% penality. Sterling, Euros and Canadian dollars can easily be exchanged at Cadecas and do not incur the same fee.
Whilst Convertible Peso restaurants can be quite expensive at the top end for rather mediocre food, some such as the Café de Oriente have a splendid ambiance. The average government-run restaurants are about US$20 for two.
Peso stalls are all over the city, particulary on Prado Marti.
Some restaurants like Hanoi, in Calle Brasil, offer generous meals for 5CUC.
With Cuban national pesos, you can get ice cream for only 1 peso (US$0.04) in small street booths scattered around the city. You can also get a filling bocadito (small ham sandwiches) or a cajita (small meal in a cardboard box) for less than 20 pesos (US$0.80), or a "pizza" for 7-10 pesos (US$0.40).
Particularly, the Terminal de Omnibus, by the Plaza de la Revolucion, has a very good peso cafe with offerings as fried chicken for only 25 pesos ($1.00 USD).
Keeping your eyes open you can find complete menus (starter or salad, soup, main dish, dessert and a national beverage) for 6-10CUC. In the Vieja, there are such restaurants in the smaller, not very crowded streets.
Beware that at least one paladar charges an hefty per-person service charge on top of your bill (10 CUC per couple at Paladar Amistad de Lanzarote in Central Havana) - deceivingly printed in Spanish only in a bilingual English/Spanish menu. Also no matter what the owner insists, there is never a tax levied for eating at paladares. Always ask before ordering.
There are many good, mid-priced restaurants in Chinatown. "Bavaria" is one of the best if you can picture a restaurant named after a German province pronounced like "barbaria" with Chinese decor, serving pizzas and spaghetti.
The restaurants inside five-star hotels tend to charge excessive amounts of money for mediocre food and service.
Try La Fontana Restaurant, one of the most notable grill restaurants in Cuba. La Fontana has a refined yet sober home environment, suitable for a dinner with a touch of familiarity and a placid conversation, while enjoying exquisite dishes from its specialty, updated Cuban cuisine. Ask for octopus grilled over charcoal with pesto, or choose a sea snail in garlic and aged rum. It is about $25 per person, and you need to make a call to book: +53 7 202 8337, +53 5 293 2497, or +53 5 286 4747.
For great ambience and surprisingly palatable fare, Paladar "Vistamar" on Calle 1 in Miramar offers a top-notch wine list, excellent selection and quality of sea-food, and (very rare for Cuba) an assortment of beef dishes. Perched at the edge of the ocean overlooking the Florida Straits, you can enjoy dinner "al fresco" either on the balcony or the patio, or inside in a well-aportioned dining room with (again surprisingly for Cuba) attentive and knowledgeable staff. Expect to pay for the priviledge though, as an entre will set you back 10-20 CUC and an average bottle of wine hovers around 30. No reservations necessary, but a little hard to find as it appears to be a private house at first glance; get a taxi to get you there.
All the tourist hotels serve breakfast, typically a buffet with a wide variety of good food, although overpriced (15 CUC at the Hotel Nacional). If you stay in a casa particular ask whether you'll be served breakfast. If not, ask the landlord/lady to take you shopping. Otherwise, there's almost no hope of finding a restaurant open for breakfast. One exception is the Chan Li Po Bar-Cafeteria, open at 9AM, in Centro Habana, near Chinatown, at Perseverancia #453 (between Zanja and San Martin).
You can have a great time just outside of the Hotel Inglaterra near the Capitólio Building, drinking good daiquiris and mojitos at an affordable price (2CUC in September 2005).
There are two types of establishments you can go to to drink in Havana: Western-style CUC bars with near-Western prices, a good selection of quality drinks (and sometimes food), nice decorations, semi-motivated staff and often live music, typically found around tourist hot-spots such as Old Havana and tourist hotels. Here you will mostly meet other tourists, expats and a few Cubans with access to hard currency, but don't expect a 'local' experience.
The alternative is to seek out local neighborhood bars where you can choose from a quality, but limited, selection of drinks (mainly locally produced rum by the bottle, beer and soft drinks, very rarely will you be able to get cocktails such as mojitos), cigars of dubious and cigarettes of only slightly better quality, and sometimes snacks. Local bars accept CUPs and are dirt-cheap, although bar keepers will often ask you for CUCs instead - it's up to you to negotiate an acceptable price, but keep in mind that local bar staff are state employees and (literally) paid a pittance. These bars are also a good way to meet locals who may even open up a bit and talk about their lives after a couple of drinks.
Local bars are not that hard to find despite typically having no prominent signs displayed outside. Just ask or walk around a local neighborhood and look out for a bare-walled, neon-lit run-down room without any decorations or furniture, save for a bar and a few rickety chairs and tables, sullen staff and depressed/bored/drunk-looking customers, almost always men. Contrary to Cuba's reputation as a music and fun loving nation, these places are not boisterous affairs - they are quiet, almost subdued, music is rarely played (if at all, it will come from a radio but never be live), and have the charm of third-world railway station waiting rooms.
Nonetheless, they make for a fascinating experience (especially if you make the effort to speak to some locals - offering to buy a drink will get a conversation going, no surprise there), and they provide a good insight into what life must be like for ordinary Cubans without hard currency. As a foreign visitor, you will be generally welcomed. Discussing politics over a drink is a tricky, and typically lose-lose proposition: speak negatively about the Cuban political system and you may put your Cuban drinking companions into a very difficult position as they may very well be informed on (for hanging out with subversive foreigners); enthuse about the Revolution, Che, Fidel, Cuba's health care system, sticking it to the Gringos, etc., and people will assume that you are at best naive or at worst not in full possession of your mental faculties. Cheers!
There are 3 main areas that travelers generally stay in: Old Havana is the liveliest (some would say hectic and dirty), Central Havana is slightly quieter and parts can be a bit seedy, and Vedado is the quietest with more greenery, and is the place to find the large hotels and nicer casas particulares.
Hotels vary. Don't be surprised if you have no hot water and bad TV-reception in a hotel that still goes to the effort of having an in-hotel doctor and hosting extravagant shows of synchronized swimming in the hotel pool.

Stay safe
Havana is quite safe for a large city. Heavily dependent on tourism, Cuban police are everywhere and pay especial attention to spots where travelers congregate (Habana Vieja, El Malecón. etc.), so you don't have to be afraid of being accosted in the daytime. Prison sentences for crimes involving tourists are extremely harsh, a fact which residents are well aware of, which adds an extra layer of deterrence. At night, however, there have been muggings in the dark streets of Centro Habana. While this part of town is perfectly safe to explore in the daytime, and can be crossed safely while going to Habana Vieja or Vedado, it's best not go there at night. If you are going to walk, do so along El Malecón, where there are lights and a lot more people. Be wary of hustlers (jinteros/as) offering to show you a place to eat or offering a tour of the city, as you'll be stuck paying hefty prices to cover their commission. Just walk away and continue walking -- soon enough they will leave you alone. In local restaurants, ask for menus or prices before ordering anything; there can be special 'tourist price menus' that get pulled out after you have consumed food or drink. If you're male, expect to be accosted regularly by prostitutes and/or their pimps, especially in Habana Vieja. While technically illegal, erstwhile mandatory jail time for prostitution filled prisons so quickly that the regime had little choice but to start looking the other way. The result is a steady, depressing stream of solicitations that can wear down even the most cynical traveler unless he's prepared for it. Particularly disheartening are the offers from young girls, some no more than 11 or 12. Accept this situation as a fact of life in modern-day Cuba -- and don't contribute to it.

MAHB Recorded RM1,956.6 Million Revenue On The Back Of 11.8% Passenger Growth in 1H14
24 July 2014
SEPANG - Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad ("MAHB") recorded a revenue of RM1,956.6 million on the back of 11.8% passenger growth for the six months ended 30 June 2014 ("1H14"). This 11.8% growth was driven by strong air travel demand within the Asia Pacific region and outpaced the overall global passenger growth rate of 6.2% for 2014.
This revenue of RM1,956.6 million was inclusive of construction revenue and costs amounting to RM662.4 million and RM633.9 million respectively. This was in line with the adoption of IC Interpretation 12: Service Concession Arrangements ("IC 12") effective 1 January 2012 whereby MAHB recognises the construction revenue and costs in accordance with FRS 111: Construction Contracts by reference to the stage of completion of the construction works of klia2, which is construction works on public sector infrastructure assets and services currently being undertaken by MAHB.
Excluding the effects of IC 12, revenue for 1H14 was RM1,294.2 million, which was 11.2% higher than the RM1,163.9 million registered in the corresponding period in 2013 ("1H13"). The revenue increase was attributed to stronger results from airport operations segment which improved by 10.5% to RM1,217.6 million. A total of 41.3 million passengers passed through MAHB's 39 airports in Malaysia. This growth in passenger numbers, together with aircraft movements, contributed to aeronautical revenue improving by 13.4%. Non-aeronautical revenue also recorded a growth of 7.3% due to improved performance in the retail and rental businesses.
As anticipated, planned expansion in airport operations had a significant impact on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") and profit after tax ("PAT") for 1H14. Excluding the effects of IC 12, the Group's EBITDA remained flat at RM419.7 million – 0.6% higher than RM417.1 million in 1H13. Nevertheless, the Group remains on track to meet its 2014 headline key performance indicator ("KPI") for profitability previously announced as RM861 million. As of end June 2014, the Group has achieved 48.8% of its EBITDA KPI.
By the same token, PAT for 1H14 dropped by 71.1% to RM55.5 million from RM191.8 million when compared to its corresponding period in 2013. MAHB incurred two one-off costs in 2014. One of which was the 100% recognition of the user fee payment to the Government of Malaysia in the Group's income statement amounting to RM9.4 million. Previously, the amount of user fee recognised in the income statement represented half of the total user fee payable to the Government, while the other half was to reduce the amount due for the Balance Residual Payment which arose from MAHB's restructuring exercise completed in February 2009. Upon the full settlement of the Balance Residual Payment in April 2013, the user fee is now fully recognised in the income statement.
The other was the recognition of previously unrecognised non-cash losses upon the acquisition of an additional 40% stake in Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport ("SGIA") amounting to RM42.5 million.
There were also new recurring costs which commenced during the reporting quarter namely, SGIA's recurring loss of RM8.3 million for 1H14 pursuant to the above acquisition, depreciation of RM63.0 million and finance costs of RM30.0 million for klia2, as well as the payment of airline incentive amounting to RM24.4 million. Excluding all these one-off and new items would give rise to an EBITDA of RM475.6 million – 8.3% higher than RM439.2 million in 1H13; as well as profit before tax ("PBT") of RM312.5 million – 2.9% higher than RM303.8 million in 1H13.
Whereas, with the effects of IC12, the revenue of RM1,956.6 million represented a slight decrease of 2.4% compared to RM2,005.3 million in 1H13. Construction revenue for 1H14 amounted to RM662.4 million compared to RM841.4 million in 1H13. EBITDA slightly weakened by 1.2% to RM448.2 million, from RM453.6 million in 1H13. PAT also fell by 63.2% to RM84.0 million in 1H14, compared to RM228.3 million recorded in 1H13.
Airport Operations Segment
Strong air travel demand within the Asia Pacific region has led to both international and domestic passenger movements recording strong growth at 10.4% and 13.1% respectively. The total passenger movements in KLIA increased by 9.7%, whereby both KLIA-MTB and klia2 / LCCT recorded positive growth of 9.2% and 10.1% respectively. All other airports recorded strong aggregate growth in total passenger movements of 14.9%. Total aircraft movements grew 9.8% to 384,963 aircrafts, with the domestic sector recording a higher growth of 10.6% compared to the international sector, which recorded a growth of 8.6%.
Excluding the effects of IC 12, the 13.4% improvement in aeronautical revenue was also attributed to the increase in Marginal Cost Support for PSC ("MARCS PSC") as the new PSC rates are lower than the benchmark rate as stipulated in the Operating Agreements signed with the Government. Also contributing to the increase in aeronautical revenue is the rise in landing and parking charges with increases of 9% and 18% respectively (compounded annually effective 1 January 2012, 1 January 2013 and 1 January 2014).
The growth of non-aeronautical revenue of 7.2% to RM561.5 million arose from improved performance in the retail and rental businesses where MAHB's own retail business grew 6.9%, driven by increase in passenger volume and higher retail spending by passengers. Revenue from rental of space and other commercial segments grew 9.9% to RM215.7 million, contributed mainly by higher rental royalty and increase in rental space at klia2.
Non-airport Operations Segment
The non-airport operations segment recorded revenue of RM76.6 million in 1H14, representing a growth of 24.1% from RM61.7 million recorded in 1H13. The project and repair maintenance segment registered higher revenue of RM24.5 million in 1H14 which was 38.2% higher than the RM17.7 million registered in 1H13 mainly due to new facility management work won including for the provision of facility maintenance services at the new Doha International Airport. The hotel segment revenue increased by 15.1% to RM37.1 million contributed mainly by higher occupancy rate and improved room rate. The agriculture and horticulture segment registered higher revenue of RM15.1 million in 1H14, 27.7% higher than the RM11.8 million registered in 1H13 due to higher Fresh Fruit Bunches price and higher production volume (1H14: RM552.97/27,109MT vs 1H13: RM457.31/25,612MT).
Group Cost Analysis
The PAT growth was dampened primarily by increase in operating, depreciation and amortisation costs as well as share of associate losses. Higher operating costs during 1H14 were mainly attributed by higher user fee, staff and utility costs. The user fee payable to the Government for 1H14 amounted to RM129.0 million as compared to RM108.2 million recognised in the income statement in 1H13, representing a 19.1% increase. Staff and utility costs increased by 10.7% and 34.4% to RM252.4 million and RM140.1 million respectively, mainly due to one-off salary benchmarking in April 2014, salary adjustment and additional manpower required for klia2 as well as higher utility costs for both electricity and chilled water. Electricity costs for the period has risen by RM21.3 million, of which RM17.3 million is attributable to higher consumption and impact of tariff hike in January 2014 at KLIA by approximately RM9.0 million and RM8.3 million respectively. Costs associated with chilled water had also rose by RM13.3 million due to increase in KLIA's consumption of RM2.3 million and higher gas prices of RM10.7 million.
Depreciation and amortisation costs had risen by 60.6% to RM200.5 million for 1H14 from RM124.8 million recorded in 1H13. As explained above this was primarily attributed to additional amortisation and depreciation arising upon the commencement of operations of klia2. Additionally, contributing to the drop in PAT is the one-off recognition of previously unrecognised losses of a jointly controlled entity - Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport ("SGIA") upon the completion of the additional 40% stake acquisition at the end of April 2014 amounting to RM42.5 million, as well as its current period losses of RM12.0 million. Nevertheless, the depreciation and amortisation costs along with the share of losses of the jointly controlled entity are non-cash items.
Industry Review
Moving into the second half of the year, consumers continue to benefit from lower fares and more routes. Consequently, the International Air Transport Association ("IATA") expects 1% of the world's GDP is to be spent on air travel in 2014. IATA has also announced that global passenger traffic recorded 6.2% growth for May 2014 against May 2013. More importantly, IATA has indicated that passenger traffic will continue to accelerate and will be sustained in the months ahead.
Malaysia's current traffic performance of 11.8% continues to exceed IATA's 5.3% global estimate for the year. The registered traffic in 1H14 is the highest ever recorded by Malaysia Airports for the first half of any year. While growth continues to remain positive, the percentage of growth has declined slightly in May and June, partly due to a higher growth base in 2013. In addition, traffic between certain sectors such as Thailand, China and Middle-East have weakened due to political uncertainties in Thailand, the escalating conflict in the Middle East and the residual impact from the MH370 incident. On a more positive note, there were more direct domestic flights across all airports within Malaysia, contributing to a growth of 13.1%.
Industry Outlook
The unfortunate MH17 event may temporarily affect passenger numbers.
Our immediate focus is to extend our full support to the Government, Malaysia Airlines and the affected families.
Latest international and domestic seat capacity data shows an average increase of 6% and 0.8% respectively for the next six months, lower than previous indications. The lower economic growth in East Asia and Pacific countries as reported by World Bank may also have an impact on traffic.
For the MAHB Group, the benefit from the entry of new airlines and expansion of local carriers is expected to continue. Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia Group and Malindo Air are expected to continue to contribute strongly to the enviable passenger growth together with other foreign airlines. Malaysia Airlines' entry into the Oneworld Alliance in February 2013 has significantly increased the market outreach and breadth of connectivity across continents and will continue to provide critical support for passenger growth. The expected seat capacity expansion coupled with strong tourist arrivals pursuant to the Visit Malaysia Year 2014 will continue to fuel the growth momentum. In addition, MAHB will continue to pursue airlines globally by further enhancing its marketing efforts and various marketing initiatives. Based on the current year to date traffic performance and the foreseen uncertainties, MAHB remains confident to register a robust passenger growth for the year.
The successful development and opening of klia2 is a testament to how far MAHB has journeyed in transforming from a traditional airport operator into a successful world-class airport business. With 45 million passenger capacity, klia2 is an iconic terminal that serves as a global benchmark for similar terminals to be built in the future. klia2 is expected to be the catalyst in boosting MAHB's performance moving forward, mainly contributed by its unique targeted retail and commercial offerings attractive to passengers and airport visitors. With klia2, KLIA now has a total capacity to handle 70 million passengers per annum to cater for the rapid air travel growth, remain competitive within the region and cement Malaysia's position as a leading global aviation hub.

I marvel at the number of people demanding answers concerning the terrorist attack against the U.S. embassy in Benghazi. One would think such a thing never happened before.
It has, many times over, but under the previous administration. During George W. Bush's time in office, there were 12 separate attacks on American embassies globally. During those attacks, a total of 60 people lost their lives.
Where was the outrage then? Where were the demands for accountability?
The instigators of the charade that is unfolding have no interest in justice. They care nothing about the people who died or the terrorists who killed them.
They took a tragedy and shamelessly twisted it into a political device to attempt to sway voters from supporting President Barack Obama. That backfired in a huge way, as was demonstrated in the second presidential debate.
Mitt Romney crumbled under the pressure of facts and accusations of opportunistic campaigning.
Those involved in this chicanery will eventually come to their senses about Benghazi. I just hope they still have the energy to seek answers about the dozen attacks waged during their party's tenure.

We can't turn a blind eye to this type of behavior
Dave Wilson is a despicable man.
No. Not that Dave Wilson - the other one.
You know Dave Wilson, don't you? He is the Houston man who misled voters to get himself elected.
I know what you are thinking. Misleading voters is how most politicians get elected. Some people pretend to be conservatives who really aren't. Some pretend to be friends of the middle class who really aren't.
But I've never seen a white man pretend to be black.
Dave Wilson was running for a seat on the Houston Community College Board of Trustees. He could easily be called a stereotypical white conservative from Texas.
He is a conservative anti-homosexual activist who just happened to need the votes of black people in a largely African American district in order to beat a long-time incumbent.
Noting that few black voters in Houston were likely to find Wilson a candidate they would support, he used the political philosophy of Niccolo Machiavelli.
"Never attempt to win by force what can be won by deception," is one of the most quotable lines in Machiavelli's The Prince.
Because the community college trustee seat he sought never required a lot of publicity or debate, Wilson was able to run a stealth campaign.
Wilson sent out a flyer in the mail with photos of black people he downloaded from the internet – you didn't think he had photos of black friends lying around the house did you – in which these people of color purportedly asked their "friends" to vote for Dave Wilson.
The fliers also featured an endorsement by Ron Wilson. That is the name of an African American state legislator from the same district and his endorsement would carry weight among voters who might consider unseating Bruce Austin who had held the position for 24 years.
But Ron Wilson never endorsed Dave Wilson. At least not that Ron Wilson. The candidate's dirty tricks ad even stated in the fine print the Ron Wilson was the candidate's cousin.
While it legally protected Dave Wilson from claiming the support of the state legislator, it misled voters further, by leading them to believe they were voting for the black state legislator's cousin.
The voters were actually voting for Ron Wilson's cousin - lily white Ron Wilson from Iowa.
I you could hear the radio ad Wilson used in which he claimed to be the "only candidate for HCC District Two that we can trust."
If you trust Dave Wilson, you will discover the definition of disappointment. Not only did he incorrectly insinuate that he was a black man, Wilson used two women in his ad who would have fit into stereotypical roles in any blacksploitation film.
Wilson is anything but apologetic.
As he chuckled about pulling off the win, he told reporters that he always knew it was a long shot and he didn't expect to win. He was also unrepentant when it came to his feelings about what he had done.
"Look," the political troublemaker told reporters. "Every time a politician talks, he is out there deceiving voters."
Obviously, this is only a seat on a community college board of trustees. But the fact that he would blatantly lie to voters to win, should result in an outcry from politicians on both sides of the aisle.
Texas conservatives should force him out. Democrats – especially African American Democrats – should rally against these tactics.
It is time for politicians to police their own if they want to mitigate the negative opinion most voters hold for men and women in that profession.
We can't turn a blind eye to this type of behavior.
Pretending to be black to win a race may be a unique situation but it is on of the most desperate and disturbing things I have ever seen.

Commonality is found in balcony railings, upper mullions, and detailing above the garage and doorways. Rooflines are united by a staggered accent – like a distant memory of the mysteries of the Orient.
Windows suggest many styles of differing background have found a harmonious whole – clerestory, shuttered, folding – each accentuated with richly stained, natural wood casing. A narrow water feature in blue tile wraps around the two-sided living room, its water lilies and bamboos waiting only for summer time before dazzling passers-by with a lush, floral tribute.
Red brick columns and walkways add a sophisticated blend of tradition with contemporary minimalism. Ivory trim gives a touch of drama to otherwise smooth surfaces.

Andy Reid will coach the Eagles when they travel to face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, a team source said Monday.
Reid addressed the media at noon after the Eagles fell to the Panthers, 30-22, on Monday night. His future has come under increased scrutiny with the Birds now 3-8 and with no chance to finish better than Jeffrey Lurie's preseason bar of 8-8 for Reid to return for a 15th season.
"I'm coaching to get ready to get after the Cowboys, that's what I'm going to do," Reid said. "I don't go beyond that. That's simple ... that's how I go. I'm not going to let anything distract me from that."
Reid said after the game that he hadn't spoken to Lurie about his future and whether he received any assurances that he would finish out the season. He said Tuesday that he did not meet with Lurie this morning.
There was a banner unveiled by fans last night at Lincoln Financial Field that read, "Jeff, This Is On You."
Lurie has never fired a coach mid-season and said in August that he would evaluate Reid and his team after the season.

This time when Alice tumbles down the rabbit hole, she'll land en pointe in "Alice in Wonderland Ballet," presented by Delaware Dance Alliance.
This time when Alice tumbles down the rabbit hole, she'll land en pointe in "Alice in Wonderland Ballet," presented by Delaware Dance Alliance.
The show opens Saturday at the Schwartz Center for the Arts in Dover.
Delaware Dance Alliance will overwhelm the stage with its deep roster of approximately 30 characters, spanning nearly every creature, critter and thing in Wonderland. You'll see your favorites like the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen and Tweedledum and Tweedledee to butterflies, flowers and even Alice's teardrops (Tears). Ages in the show range from 4 to 25, with the little ones occupying most of the stage.
Jessica Jones (cast as Mildred, Alice's sister) has performed in several theater productions throughout her 15-year-plus career in ballet. Yet she maintains "Alice in Wonderland Ballet" is one of the strangest shows she's had the pleasure of being a part of.
"This is by far one of the most unique shows I've ever been in, because it's 'Alice in Wonderland,' so almost anything can go," said Jones, 22, of Milford. "It's definitely fun. The cast is really different because some kids are my students, because I teach, too, so I get to connect with them more."
Jones is an instructor at First State Academy of Dance in Milford. DDA operates under FSAD's umbrella serving as its production company, while FSAD offers dance courses.
Sunday marked the first costume rehearsal for "Alice in Wonderland Ballet" and the experience revealed the show's biggest flaw was many of the younger performers weren't able to change in and out of costume as swiftly as anticipated.
"It was a little rough, but we'll get there," Jones said. "Whenever you add more props or costumes and stuff like that, it's always rough at first, especially with your costume changes, because some of the girls have back-to-back scenes."
Since opening night isn't for two more days, director Michele Xiques, of Milford, still has some time to tie up those loose ends. This is the part of the theater process that Xiques adores.
"Every time I do a show it's like Christmas," she said. "The anticipation and the wonder of how it's all going to work out and what you're going to get from the dancers is the exciting part."
WHAT 'Alice in Wonderland Ballet'
WHEN 6 p.m., Saturday
WHERE Schwartz Center for the Arts, 226 State St., Dover
COST $15 for adults; $10 for seniors (65 and older) and children (12 and younger)

Posted on May 6, 2009
One year we had the gentleman who studied the Book Fair map and inquired politely, "What exactly is the Squirrelling Section, and how does one squirrel?" Another year, though, there was the customer who didn't look at the map and asked, "Is there someplace we can squirrel these books?"
Squirrelling has nothing to do with the cute, ravenous critters in Bughouse Square or the Book Fair volunteer who was a squirrel whisperer. It's how you set your first load of books aside while you hunt for more. Squirrelling is vital to our profit margin. If they couldn't squirrel, our customers' buying power would be limited to the length of their arms.
It also (sometimes) keeps really big-time buyers from building mountains of books in a handy nook (usually right in front of the fire exit) and covering it with a sheet or, in one memorable year, an American flag. Those buyers had snatched up every issue of American Heritage we had for sale, so maybe they thought it was appropriate. Got a lot of dirty looks, though.
To squirrel, find the squirreling areas (use the map or look for the little squirrel statues) and hand your books to a smiling volunteer. Your bag/s will be marked with your name for retrieval later. Of course by now you understand why we call it squirrelling: it's a reference to how squirrels hoard nuts for future reference.
We were going to call it chipmunking and see how many books you could hold in your cheeks, but Management shot that down. Some insurance thing, probably.

Scripture: Psalm 13:5 NIV But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing the Lord's praise, for he has been good to me.
Observation: In the beginning of this Psalm of only 6 verses, David is bemoaning the trouble he is going through. But in these last two verses He rejoices in God's salvation. He sings the Lord's praise because He knows that in looking at the whole of his life, the Lord has been good!
Application: As I look back over my life, I agree with David!. I have had some tough times, but without question, the Lord has been good to Leon!
Prayer: Lord, life is not always good, but You are always good. You have surely been good to me. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

This theme reoccurs in the bedroom, but with a twist. Here, the room's square dimension and addition of a ceiling fan give the ambiance of a luxurious, tropical retreat. Above the bed, painted palm trees appear to sway gently in an ocean breeze while abstract ferns dance across the carpet and pillow shams.
Above this gracious white-on-white formal sitting room, this ceiling's simple unadorned beams take a color cue from the hardwood floor below. Accent lighting picks up the soft shimmer of the polished wood making it appear like satin – a perfect compliment to the plush, ivory fabrics of the sofas below.

You've got an ultra-thin, 1080p, 3D-enabled TV, a state-of-the-art surround sound system, a Blu-ray DVD player, a comfy couch, and a popcorn and soda combo that costs $2 total. You've also got a question: Why should I bother to go to the theater?
Your question is a good one, and it's one that more and more home theater owners are struggling to answer. Just think about the term "home theater." Why venture out and pay a premium when you've got your very own movie theater in your living room? Sure, the screen's a bit smaller, but you don't have to deal with yapping neighbors, shimmying down the aisle to hit the bathroom, or missing part of the movie when you do.
In this day and age, movie theaters have three things keeping them afloat: the newest movies, a huge screen, and the allure of a "night out" at the movies. The problem is, recent sales data shows that, for more and more customers, that triumvirate just isn't enough them off of their couch. Hollywood.com statistics show that North American movie theaters counted 533 million patrons this past summer. That's four percent fewer than last year, and the fewest since 1993. Even more troubling is that American movie theaters only sold 1.3 billion movie tickets domestically this summer. That last sentence may sound comical, but it's all relative. Those 1.3 billion seasonal tickets are the fewest sold since 1995.
Take things from a macro to a micro scale, and the picture is just as bleak. Last month, CNN.com reported that the box-office figures for September 7 through 9 represented the worst cumulative ticket sales since September 21 through 23, 2001. If we narrow the scope even further and look at individual movies, the hits just keep on not coming. Zap2it reports that The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure, which cost over $50 million to make, turned in an anemic $448,000 and recouped less than one percent of its budget. This despite the fact the ill-fated kids flick opened up in 2,160 theaters. That gives it the dubious distinction of tallying the single worst opening weekend ever for a movie that opened in over 2,000 theaters.
So September, it seems, has produced a sort of triple-crown of box-office ineptitude. It capped the worst summer in almost two decades, yielded the worst weekend since the aftermath of 9/11, and debuted the worst-selling major release of all time. I think it's safe to say that theaters are struggling.
One explanation might be that, for the last five years, household incomes have fallen while movie ticket prices have been on the upswing. According to the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO), average U.S. ticket prices are up 15 percent since 2007. Compare that to household incomes, which are down just under 10 percent over the same span, and you have a problematic discrepancy.
Still, despite continued economic struggles, U.S. home theater sales are on the rise. According to the Digital Entertainment Group (DEG), at-home video entertainment content netted 8.4 billion in the first half of 2012, up 1.4 percent from the same stretch in 2011. The numbers for Blu-ray disc sales were even more impressive, as they increased 13.3 percent from the previous year. Looking at these numbers, it's clear we can't blame the summer's paltry box-office figures solely on the economy.
So what do we blame it on? Industry insiders offer varying explanations for why home theaters are thriving while movie theaters are slumping. Patrick Corcoran, director of media and research at the National Association of Theater Owners, told Digital Trends he attributes the discrepancy to the natural ebb and flow of public interest, saying of the theater industry's listless September, "it was really about the popularity of what was in the box-office. We compete with other out-of-home options more than in-home options." He went on to add that the advent of VHS tapes and DVD's both ended up providing a boon to the industry, by increasing the public's interest in movies. It's an optimistic view of the situation, but as we've seen, the data paints a different picture.
Movie theaters have essentially been pedaling the same product for the last quarter century. Meanwhile, home theaters are advancing, literally, day-by day. The PR line is that 3D is the new wave in cinema, but a version of that technology has existed in some form or another for 60 years now. Combine that fact with the surcharge of $3 or more that most theaters tack on to your ticket for 3D and, for many moviegoers, it's just not worth it.
There may, however, be an advance on the horizon that could inject some forward motion into the long-static movie-theater business. That technology is Dolby Atmos, a next-generation surround-sound system with a truly ubiquitous feel. Atmos has been billed as the next big thing in movies and is already being rolled out for a few select flicks. Problem is, full integration is still a ways away, and while the industry waits for Atmos to arrive in earnest, its struggles will likely continue.
If movie theaters don't get creative and adapt to the times, they're in danger of being left behind.

Copyright © 2013 BANA. All Rights Reserved.
New to Windsor from Barrie, ON, I have been at BANA since January 2014.
I completed my degree in BSc (Human Ecology) Honours Foods and Nutrition at Brescia University College (University of Western Ontario) and my internship at the Northern Ontario Dietetic Internship Program in Barrie.
I live in Windsor with my husband and enjoy travelling and exploring new places and activities. I have grown personally and professionally from working at BANA and look forward to continuing to learn from my colleagues and clients.
Originally from Chatham I have lived in Windsor since 1996. As a graduate of St. Clair College with an Advanced Diploma in Advertising/Business I've spent the past 19 years working with a variety of organizations including the MediaDuo Advertising Agency, Dimanti Stone Works, the John McGivney Children's Centre, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Lakeview Montessori School, the Children's Achievement Centre and KPMG.
Since 2007 I have been the Special Projects Coordinator for the Bulimia Anorexia Nervosa Association where my responsibilities include public relations, media, fundraising, administration and IT services. In addition to my role at BANA, since 2011, I have also been an instructor in St. Clair College's Advertising program.
As a representative of BANA, I actively participate in several community committees; as Co-Chair of the Service Alliance for Equality (SAFE), as Marketing Chair for Southwestern Ontario in motion and as a committee member for Children's Fest.
In my personal life along with my wife Lorretta and 2 kids, Zander and Carly I volunteer time with the Emerald Isle Dance Society, The Windsor Feis Association and the Windsor Optimist Youth Band.
I have been working with BANA since Jan 2014 – My journey began with me filling a maternity-leave contract as a clinical therapist for BANA. Since then, I have been offered and have accepted a contract extension, and subsequently a full-time position as a "Clinician" here at BANA.
I am a Registered Social Worker with an Undergraduate and a Masters degree in Psychology, as well as a Masters degree in Social Work. I enjoy working with the public and I value what clients can (and have) taught me about strength, struggle and commitment.
I also value a good sense of humor and I enjoy making others laugh.
I am a native of Tecumseh, Ontario and a graduate of the University of Windsor with an Undergraduate and Master's degree in Social Work. I first came to BANA in 2010 as a student intern and have experience working at both Legal Assistance of Windsor and the Windsor/Essex AIDS committee before returning to BANA in 2012 to fill a maternity leave. In 2014, I accepted a full time position at BANA as the Clinical Intake Specialist.
I have a French bulldog named Ruthie and enjoy creative endeavours like art classes.
I currently reside in Comber Ontario with my husband, 2 children and our 2 Labs Daisy and Cookie. I am a graduate of the University of Windsor with a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work.
I began my work with BANA in 2004 as a student and became a full time employee in 2006. I have previous experience working at a crisis centre, as well as training and experience group and individual therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I enjoy spending time with my family, baking, sewing and learning to crochet.
I grew up in Windsor, Ontario and attended Holy Names high school as well as the University of Windsor and St. Clair College. I completed the five year Concurrent B.A/B.Ed/ECE program in 2013.
I worked as an ECE for the WECDSB during the 2013-2014 school year and in the summer of 2014 I accepted the position of Health Promotion Educator with BANA. It has been an exciting and rewarding learning experience for me!
In my time outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and living a balanced, active lifestyle.
I am a graduate from St. Clair College in Business Administration-Accounting and the University of Windsor with a degree in Business Management. I am certified in CGA (Certified General Accountant) and CPA (Certified Professional Accountant).
I joined BANA in 2007 and I'm currently working as an accountant. In addition to the accounting work, I am responsible for the government reporting for BANA.
I am a mother of two boys, 17 and 12, with a busy schedule. Whenever I find a time I enjoy watching TV shows, and talking to my parents who live overseas.
I am a mother, a wife, a leader, an educator and a motivator with a GREAT passion for life. I was born in Romania and lived in Montreal, QC for some of my childhood years. I have spent the majority of my life in Windsor- a community that is diverse and has so much to offer. I graduated from the University of Windsor in Psychology with a minor in French.
I started at BANA over 11 years ago as the Health Promotion Manager (prevention), which is an area that I am extremely passionate about. In 2012, I was appointed as the Interim Executive Director at BANA. It is a privilege to be in this position and to work with the amazing board, staff, funders and community partners who are all so dedicated to this important work. I sit on a number of committees, which allows me to engage and learn more about our community.
I am married to Tony and have 2 children Gabriela and Antonio who are my world. I love to travel and see the world from my own lens. I enjoy going for walks and spending time with family and friends. I value the community I live in and try to make a difference whenever and whenever I can.
