There are events in life that have a way of sticking in your memory.

I will always remember where I was when I proposed to Cupcake. I remember exactly where I was when I heard that planes had crashed into the World Trade Center.

And I’ll remember where I was when I heard the Pizza Hut buffet had reopened. It was Thursday morning at 8:15 a.m. when the email arrived in my inbox.

“Pizza Hut is reopening the buffet today!!” said an email from local official Natalie Templeton.

At first glance, the news is great. It’s been over two years since we’ve been able to feast on the popular Pizza Hut buffet. It was missed as a convenient lunch option.

On a broader level, the reopening of the pizza buffet is symbolic of our nation’s healing and return to everyday life as we emerge from the dark COVID hole that has upended every aspect of our society. The Pizza Hut buffet is a return to normal, a sign that all will be well, at least until we are shot down by an AR-15.

The buffet’s return was welcomed with open arms by a hungry community in Warren County. Pizza Hut was overwhelmed with customers on Friday and sold out 146 buffets during the 2.5-hour lunch period.

“The buffet really drew a lot of people,” Natalie said.

The buffet is offered Monday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The cost is $9.99.

Also of note, the Pizza Hut salad bar is also back. It’s open and available during all dining room hours for $6.99. It’s all you can eat at any time of the day or night.

Thank you Pizza Hut for helping us heal.

IDB Special Meeting

A special meeting of the McMinnville-Warren County Industrial Development Board has been called this Thursday, June 9 at 1:15 p.m. in the Community Hall of the Chamber of Commerce.

The objective of the meeting is to examine an industrial project that has been in the making for several months.

IDB Executive Director Don Alexander was very tight-lipped about the meeting when I told him about it on Friday. There’s so much Don can say and when it comes to this meeting, it wasn’t much at all.

The special meeting tells us with absolute certainty that there is a hot prospect given Warren County and that prospect is ready to act. The normal IDB monthly meeting is just a week later on June 16, so calling a special meeting just a week before that tells us someone is ready to get to work.

Property in front of Delores

Trees are removed from property directly across from Delores Market on Smithville Highway. This has prompted several people to ask me what is going on.

I met owner David Cathey on Friday and he told me he was having the 2.6 acres cleared in preparation for a new commercial development. What this development will be has yet to be determined, but David said he thinks it will be an ideal location for a gas station.

“You see gas stations located across from each other everywhere you go, so it wouldn’t be unusual to have one across from Delores,” David said. “Delores has old pumps and the business is outdated. I think a new gas station would work well.

David didn’t rule out the possibility of something else like storage units there. He says the commercial property is for sale, along with nine residential lots he owns in the nearby McClaran Street housing estate, which sits off Grizzell Road.

“Al McClaran, who spent 25 years in the Navy, developed all of this. He purchased approximately 30 acres and created 33 residential lots and one commercial property. It’s a real rags-to-riches story that invested in real estate wherever he lived. He even built his own church.

It is unclear what will ultimately happen at this location in front of Delores. David said his immediate goal was to clean it up.

Adam Triplett starts welding

It’s always refreshing to see a recent WCHS graduate brimming with ambition. Adam Triplett certainly falls into this category.

Adam, who turns 19 next month, has already opened his own business, Triplett Welding Service. He is available for all your welding needs by calling (931) 808-9277.

“An interesting part of the business is that I offer a mobile welding service,” Adam said. “I can go to the middle of a hay field to do a repair if I need to. I’m lucky to have all the gear I need on my truck and trailer.

One thing our high school does very well is it allows students to pursue vocational training while they are still at WCHS, if that is the path they choose to take. Adam took two years of welding in high school and enrolled in TCAT in September after graduating with the Class of 2021 in May.

Adam completed his TCAT training a few months ago in February and was certified in all welding processes. Such a person is commonly called a combo welder.

Adam is currently working at Ironhorse Trailers while starting his own business. He welds the chassis frames that are used to make high-end motorcycle trailers at Ironhorse.

“They really work with me at Ironhorse and only allow me to work 24 hours a day while I launch my business,” Adam said. “I’m slowly starting to build up a clientele and get more and more jobs. I’m ready to go where I’m needed and I’m ready to work weekends. I will do whatever it takes to get the job done.

One of the great things about writing this column is being able to talk to young, energetic people who are excited about starting a business. The older generation likes to talk about “kids of today” and shake their heads, but people like Adam Triplett show that there is indeed promise for a bright future.

If you would like to connect with Adam regarding a welding or fabrication job, you can reach him by phone or text at 808-9277.

That’s all people

I have received several business tips over the past few weeks and appreciate the interest. Email me at [email protected] com for business news you would like to see in this section.

Rajasthan has become the second Indian state to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to save soils by preventing and reversing desertification of fertile land.

In the Save Soil program held in Jaipur on Friday evening, Rajesh Chand Meena, State Minister for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development, Lalchand Kataria, State Agriculture Minister with Sadhguru, Founder of the Foundation Isha, called for immediate political action to save the state and the country’s farmlands from becoming barren.

A policy must be put in place to save soils globally, he said, adding, “In India, the average organic matter content of agricultural soils is estimated at 0.68%, which puts the country at risk. to a high risk of desertification and soil extinction. 30% of the country’s fertile soils have already become sterile and unable to yield. »

Kataria and Sadhguru exchanged a memorandum of understanding to save the state’s soil by developing farmer- and soil-friendly agricultural policies.

Sadhguru, who is currently on a 100-day, 30,000 km solo motorcycle journey across Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East to build global consensus on soil health, hit the Indian coast on 29 May at Jamnagar Port, Gujarat.

During Sadhguru’s stay in Jamnagar, the state of Gujarat became the first Indian state to sign a memorandum of understanding to save the soil.

Meanwhile, Meena speaking on the occasion said, “Everything we see in nature comes from the ground and will return to the ground. This movement is not Sadhguru’s personal movement, it is for the benefit of the ordinary man.”

Thousands of people flocked to Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Center (JECC) for the event. Featuring music and dance performances by renowned folk artists Ila Arun, Kutle Khan and Isha’s house troupe, Sounds of Isha and Isha Sanskriti.

Sadhguru started the global movement to save soils in the wake of dangerous soil erosion, which could lead to the desertification of 90% of the planet’s agricultural soils by 2050, in less than three decades.

The fundamental goal of the Save Soil campaign is to fight against soil extinction and to insist on ensuring at least 3-6% organic matter in agricultural land through immediate policy reforms in every country in the world. .

The Buzz starts this week in Kaslo.

The people who saved the Kaslo Hotel in serious disrepair in the early 2000s, John and Susan Eckland sold the 126-year-old monument.

Jason Remple and Kerry Luckyowner/operator of Stellar heliskiingtook over at the start of the year.

It’s a great story of the not-so-small lakeside village, which is booming with new residents and heaps of real estate acquisitions.

In the 90s, Remple began his admirable career in the adventure tourism industry with his elbows deep in the dish pit at Selkirk Snowcat Skiing. Meadow Creekers and snowcat icons Al and Brenda Drury took the young Kaslovian under their wing and within a few years Remple was the lead guide and operations manager.

But in 2005, Remple and Lucky, also Kaslo locals, struck out on their own and opened a proper heliski shop in the Purcell and Selkirk peaks above the family home.

“We’ve come a long way since we were literally working on my hatchback the first few years,” Remple laughs. With three children in tow, Lucky wrote marketing materials, cooked all the lunches for guests and staff, took reservations and kept an ear out for patrol and pilot radios, while Remple turned around and learned details of Stellar’s 425 square kilometer mandate (the smallest of any BC helicopter operation.)

The duo met two former racing ace moguls from Sweden who stepped in as investors at a critical chapter in Stellar’s history – Stephan Engstrom, who launched the Peak Performance line of outerwear, and his buddy Bjorn Algkvist.

After doing business with the Ecklands and the hotel for years, Remple says buying the Kaslo Hotel just made sense.

“We had a great working relationship with them. One of our slogans is ‘where comfort meets adventure’, and I think that’s where Kaslo is heading,” says Remple, noting the growing number of motorcyclists, mountain bikers, fishermen, paddlers and skiers who come to the north end of the lake for vacation.

Remple has tapped former Kaslo Golf Course manager James Danby as the hotel’s general manager and longtime Stellar and Kaslo Hotel employee Leslie French joins as assistant general manager. . Aaron Armstrong, alumnus of the Hume Hotel and former executive chef of the Penticton Lakeside Resort and Conference Center, is the hotel’s new executive chef.

After losing the business to a major commercial fire on Victoria Street a few summers ago, Nelson’s spectacular dining scene has regained Busaba Thai Coffee, now cooks on the corner of Baker and Kootenay. The business was rescued by new owners – Thai sisters Nid and Bell Padermchok and their respective husbands, Boom and Paul. Boom and Paul having worked for Thai restaurants in the Kits and Commercial Drive areas of Vancouver for many years, they were all ready to move.

“So we decided to open an authentic Thai street restaurant, with the food we grew up on,” says Nid. “Then we heard from our friend that the former owner of Busaba wanted to sell the business. We thought it was a good opportunity so we came to Nelson to see the space and fell in love with the city.

The restaurant fitted the family concept perfectly. The terrace should be open this weekend.

Nick Smith and its downtown alternative-economy fixture, Still Eagle, are still thriving after 30 years.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jabil (NYSE: JBL) today announced an innovative manufacturing collaboration with Cardo Systems, a pioneer in wireless group communication and entertainment systems for motorcyclists. Cardo’s path to market leadership has been fueled by world-class manufacturing capabilities, acoustics experience, global supply chain expertise and Jabil’s dedicated Workcell model, which enables Cardo to ship more than one million devices a year to customers in more than 100 countries.

“We thrive on an endless desire to deliver state-of-the-art wireless communication and entertainment systems,” said Alon Lumbroso, CEO of Cardo Systems. “We always look for quality, on-time delivery and cost from our manufacturing partner. Flexibility is just as important. Jabil has been following the dramatic changes in the market, especially over the past two years, which is a really big plus.

Since its inception in 2004, Cardo Systems has improved motorcycle communications with Bluetooth connectivity, mesh technology, wind suppression capabilities and natural language control. The company’s PACKTALK product uses dynamic mesh communications to connect up to 15 riders over a one-mile distance while a version for skiers and snowboarders provides an always-on intercom for enhanced interaction and safety on the slopes.

Shared commitment to quality

Achieving the best possible audio sound requires meticulous attention to detail in product design and manufacturing. Jabil’s deep experience in acoustics has helped increase manufacturing yields and support high-fidelity sound performance. Additionally, Cardo’s consistent focus on quality and use of automated test equipment contribute to Cardo’s approximately 1% warranty period failure rate across its extensive product line. Since 2019, Cardo has experienced zero to two quality events per quarter, which is a strong indicator of product stability and reliability.

Jabil has also been instrumental in helping Cardo Systems move its products into mass production by reducing its Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) from hundreds to tens while decreasing the number of Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) ), which can slow production and increase costs. Regular refinements to industrial product designs, as well as improved packaging, have been completed with a constant focus on reducing costs throughout the product life cycle.

“Our ability to deliver consistent, quality performance was invaluable to Cardo as they began to increase sales of their products,” said Scott Gebicke, President of Jabil Industrial. “We have met all the standards for a premium product that arrives to customers on time and performs as advertised. Jabil also provides significant supply chain leverage, as well as the ability to use different materials and components to make evolve Cardo Systems’ products more cost-effectively.

Accelerate market growth and expansion

As Europe is Cardo’s largest market, its products are manufactured in Jabil’s Ukrainian factory, which reduces lead times. A team of experts at Cardo facilitates quick and agile responses to dynamic market demands, which has proven critical during pandemic-related disruptions. Cardo was able to mitigate risks in terms of supply constraints and logistics costs by leveraging Jabil’s manufacturing facility in Eastern Europe, as well as its established network of suppliers.

Looking ahead, Jabil is working with Cardo Systems to extend the reach of its innovative products across Europe, the United States, Asia and Latin America. For example, Jabil helped Cardo speed up manufacturing for US customers when the company started selling online through Amazon. Jabil is also helping to expand Cardo’s manufacturing presence in APAC while engaging earlier in product prototyping to support a move into new active lifestyle markets, including skiing and snowboarding, as well as professional sports.

An electric car being charged at a station. PICTURES | BOWL

Real estate company Dowgate Properties has set up an electric vehicle charging station in Naivasha, the first outside Nairobi, as it seeks a share of the rapidly growing market.

The station is located at Naivasha Safari Centre, Dowgate’s new shopping mall whose anchor tenant is Naivas Supermarket, along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.

The company joins others like ChargeNet and Drive Electric, which have set up centers in Nairobi to provide the equivalent of filling stations for electric cars.

The electricity distributor Kenya Power says it is ready to work with electric mobility companies by providing electricity to recharge the batteries.

“Car ownership and commuting has completely changed over the past decade and is set to change even more as Kenyans…are also starting to embrace electric vehicles (EVs),” said James Hoddell, founder and director of Dowgate Properties.

Momentum has grown for the adoption of electric vehicles in Kenya as calls for clean energy solutions to reverse the impact of climate change grow louder.

Lily: Electric cars are gradually taking over Kenyan roads

Some of the startups that have established their bases in Kenya include BasiGo, Kiri, and Opibus.

BasiGo is pioneering a new generation of eco-friendly buses that aim to reduce carbon emissions in major cities like Nairobi, Nakuru, Kisumu and Mombasa.

Opibus converts diesel and gasoline vehicles and motorcycle engines to electric, while Kiri manufactures electric motorcycles.

The Safari Centre, which also has restaurants and children’s play areas, is Dowgates’ premier shopping centre. The firm plans to open a similar center in Makutano, along the Nairobi-Nyeri road.

DETROIT (AP) — Nearly 43,000 people were killed on U.S. roads last year, the highest number in 16 years as Americans returned to the highways after the pandemic forced many to stay home .

The 10.5% jump from 2020 figures was the largest percentage increase since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched its fatality data collection system in 1975.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said America faces a crisis on its roads. The safety administration has urged state and local governments, drivers and safety advocates to join in an effort to reverse the upward trend in fatalities.

Preliminary figures released by the agency on Tuesday show 42,915 people died in traffic crashes last year, up from 38,824 in 2020. Final figures will be released in the fall.

Americans drove about 325 billion miles last year, 11.2% more than in 2020, which contributed to the increase.

Nearly 118 people died each day in traffic accidents in the United States last year, according to agency figures. The Governors Highway Safety Association, a group of state highway safety officials, blamed the increase on dangerous behaviors such as speeding, driving while impaired by alcohol and drugs, distracted driving, as well as than “roads designed for speed rather than safety”.

The combination, the group said, “wiped out a decade and a half of progress in reducing traffic crashes, injuries and deaths.”

Last year, fatalities rose in nearly every type of crash, NHTSA reported. Fatalities in urban areas and fatalities in collisions involving multiple vehicles each increased by 16%. Pedestrian fatalities increased by 13%, while fatalities among drivers aged 65 and over increased by 14%.

Fatalities involving at least one large truck increased by 13%, while motorcycle fatalities increased by 9% and bicycle fatalities increased by 5%. Fatalities involving speeding and fatalities in alcohol-related crashes each increased by 5%.

Government estimates show the rate of road fatalities has fallen slightly from 2020. Last year there were 1.33 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles travelled, down from 1.34 in 2020. The death rate rose in the first quarter of last year but fell the rest of the year, NHTSA said.

The number of road deaths began to rise in 2019. NHTSA blamed reckless driving behavior for increasing during the pandemic, citing behavioral research showing that speeding and traveling without a seatbelt were more students. Before 2019, the number of deaths had fallen for three consecutive years.

NHTSA Deputy Administrator Steven Cliff, the Biden administration’s nominee to lead the agency, said the roadside crisis is urgent and preventable. “We will redouble our efforts on safety, and we need everyone – state and local governments, safety advocates, automakers and drivers to join us,” Cliff said. in a press release. “All our lives depend on it.”

Buttigieg pointed to a national strategy unveiled earlier this year aimed at reversing the trend. He said earlier that over the next two years, his department will provide federal guidance as well as billions in grants under President Joe Biden’s new infrastructure law to urge states and localities to lower speed limits and to adopt safer road design such as dedicated lanes for bicycles and buses. better lighting and pedestrian crossings. The strategy also advocates the use of speed cameras, which the ministry says could provide fairer enforcement than police roadside checks.

In Tuesday’s statement, the department said it had opened its first round of applications for the program, which will spend $6 billion over five years on local efforts to reduce crashes and fatalities.

The Department of Transportation is moving in the right direction to stem rising fatalities, but many measures will take years to work, said Michael Brooks, acting executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety.

NHTSA, for example, has regulations underway to require electronic automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection systems on all new light-duty vehicles, and to require automatic emergency braking on heavy-duty trucks, a- he declared. Automatic emergency braking can slow or stop a vehicle if there is an object in its path.

The agency also requires automakers to install systems that alert rear passengers if their seat belts are not fastened.

“Answering that is difficult,” Brooks said. “It takes a lot of work on many different strategies to solve these problems. They have a lot of work on their hands.”
