They also carry FloForm and Granite Mountain countertops, and Richelieu handles and accessories -– all served by a dedicated team of estimators, designers, salespeople and highly-skilled installers. |
Fehr says they have done jobs from Alberta to Northern Ontario, with a lot of business being word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied customers. |
In fact, the entire business came about almost by chance decades ago when he was laid off from a management position with a major cabinet company in the city. |
As part of the severance agreement he was not allowed to start a competing business in Winnipeg for a year, and so moved to Morris and founded Fehr’s Cabinet Warehouse. |
Following the big Winnipeg floods business boomed. |
The key to the company’s success has been their hands-on approach, prompt service, and affordable-yet-high-quality products and installation. |

Visiting Wilson High came from behind in the fourth quarter yesterday to squeak by Salisbury, 15-14, in a Colonial League football game. |
But the win wasn't the only thing on the minds of Warrior fans. They heard Friday that the district's teachers will strike tomorrow. |
Some Wilson parents and students at the game said the school board is unreasonable. Others said they think the fault lies with teachers. But, no matter which side they support, most said they want the two sides to work things out. |
Ed Kovacs, 17, a senior and student council president, said: "They need to sit down, and they need to compromise." |
No bargaining sessions are planned, said Robert Creveling, teachers union co-negotiator. If that does not change, the strike will continue until Dec. 3, he said. |
Superintendent Albert Zarbatany said all classes are canceled until further notice. He has said the district has a list of more than 100 substitute teachers. |
George Chilmonik, president of the Phillipsburg Education Association, announced Friday he would publicize throughout New Jersey the names of teachers who cross the picket line. That would hurt their chances of finding a job, he said. |
"I think that they should know the consequences, and the consequences will be that their names will be published for others to see and judge what their actions are," he said. |
Asked about substitutes, Kovacs said he "can't see someone trying to teach me calculus who's not a regular teacher." |
Although Kovacs supports the teachers, he said the strike is going to hurt seniors in particular. |
Many seniors are trying to get their college applications out, he said. The applications must be signed by guidance counselors, so many seniors are trying to finish applications this weekend before the strike begins, he said. "If they're out until December, you have to get those applications in soon or you're in troubl... |
Senior Jenielle St. Clair, 17, said a strike will mean students will have to start summer vacation around June 30, rather than early June. That could hamper some, she said. |
"Some people are going to West Point, and they leave (for that school) on July 2," she said. "If they get out of school June 30, they'll have two days." |
Some people yesterday discussed the strike's possible effect on extracurricular activities. |
Gail Nagy, 40, said the strike is leaving her as the only adult to work with the band as it prepares for the football game with Nazareth next weekend. Two teachers who normally help will be on strike and will not participate, she said. |
But Nagy, a non-union employee who handles choreography, said the kids already know the routines, and there should be no problems. |
St. Clair and Kovacs said some students tried Friday to organize a walkout to support teachers, but the attempt fizzled. |
Like students, the parents said they have strong feelings about the strike, too. |
Ron E. Weidman Sr., 38, who has four children in the district, said he thinks it was the union leadership -- not the teachers -- who decided to strike. |
Only 10 teachers attended a Thursday night meeting the union held to explain its side to parents, he said. "If the teachers thought they needed a strike, if the teachers thought they wanted it, they would have been there," he said. |
Weidman, a tractor-trailer driver who has been out of work 2-1/2 years with a bad back, said he thinks teachers are better off than they claim to be. |
"I don't think they understand the economic times right now. When it comes to getting a job, they have job security," he said. |
He said teachers make enough money. "When you look at pay scales across the state, they're not getting a pittance of a pay. They're getting decent pay," he said. |
But William Shafer, 38, said he has become so frustrated with the school board that he wants to run for it himself. |
A science teacher in a New Jersey school system, Shafer said he thinks the board should be more flexible with teachers. He said he believes teachers' concerns about pay are legitimate. He said five out of eight districts where he interviewed in New Jersey offered starting pay of more than $30,000, compared with Wilson'... |
The father of a son and daughter in the Wilson system, Shafer said he does not like the idea of substitute teachers. "What if a situation arises?" he asked. "Will they be able to handle it?" |
In September 1989, the district had its first strike when teachers walked out for two weeks. There would be further disputes, including another daylong walkout, before a contract agreement was reached on Jan. 9, 1990. |
Iranian and Chinese charged with attempting to export US materials to Iran for the purpose of uranium enrichment. |
A federal grand jury has indicted two men, one from Iran and the other from China, on charges of conspiring to send materials from the US to Iran for the purpose of enriching uranium. |
Using a Chinese company as a go-between to avoid trade sanctions, the men tried for three years to obtain US materials, such as high-strength steel, that could be used in an Iranian nuclear programme, the US justice department said on Friday. |
Iranian citizen Parviz Khaki was arrested in May in the Philippines, while the other man, Zongcheng Yi of China, remains at large, the department said. |
The materials and components the suspects were trying to obtain comprised almost "everything you need to build gas centrifuges for uranium enrichment," a law enforcement official told the Reuters news agency. |
The two men succeeded in illegally exporting lathes and nickel-alloy wire from the US to China and then to Iran around June 2009, according to the indictment filed by the justice department. |
It said the men purchased the materials from US companies without divulging the ultimate destination. They also did not have export licenses required for shipments to countries such as Iran that are under US sanctions. |
Other attempts to obtain materials failed, the indictment said. |
Iran insists its nuclear programme is peaceful, but Western powers suspect it is masking attempts to develop nuclear weapons. |
Khaki allegedly began talking with an undercover US federal agent in 2009, including in emails in which he tried to acquire radioactive source material. The emails continued into 2011, the indictment said. |
"Iranian procurement networks continue to target US and Western companies for technology acquisition by using fraud, front companies and middlemen in nations around the globe," Monaco said in a statement. |
The 24-page indictment was handed up by a grand jury in Washington on Thursday and released on Friday. It did not name the US companies that Khaki and Yi allegedly approached. |
The basketball project will chronicle the history of the game over the last 50 years and the social impact the game has had on the world and vice versa. The pic will combine archival and new footage with a soundtrack spanning five decades of musical influence. |

The Good Fast; stylish; runs off of bus power; USB/FireWire; large capacity for a 2.5-inch hard drive. |
The Bad A tad pricey; lacks carrying case. |
The Bottom Line This pocket hard drive is a bit expensive, but its stylish good looks and excellent performance make it worth it. |
If you appreciate minimalist modern design, you'll like the look of LaCie's F.A. Porsche-styled pocket Mobile Hard Drive. We did, though not as much as we enjoyed the drive's compact size, lightness, and quick USB 2.0 performance. FireWire performance on the dual-bus model we tested wasn't as inspiring, but overall, th... |
The titanium-hued LaCie Mobile Hard Drive measures a hair more than 5 inches long, 3 inches wide, and a superthin 0.65 inch tall including the feet. The drive's sleek lines are broken only by a power/activity light on the front and USB, FireWire, and AC ports on the black-colored back panel. Our only gripe with the des... |
Installing the LaCie Mobile Hard Drive is as simple as plugging it in to the USB 1.1 or 2.0 or FireWire bus; no AC adapter is required if your bus provides power, as most do. If the unit doesn't draw sufficient power from the USB cable, you can plug in the included power-sharing cable to a second USB port on your compu... |
Our anecdotal USB 2.0 file-transfer tests proved that LaCie's unit, with its mobile 2.5-inch hard drive, is speedy indeed--second only to the full-size Maxtor OneTouch II, in our experience. This performance was especially impressive since the 100GB version of the unit spins at only 4,200rpm compared to the Maxtor's 7,... |
LaCie sells a number of versions of the Mobile Hard Drive in various speeds and capacities. In addition to the 100GB unit we tested, the 4,200rpm version also comes in 40GB, 60GB, and 80GB capacities. There are also 60GB/7,200rpm and 80GB/5,400rpm variations that may offer quicker random file access, if not faster sust... |
LaCie's Mobile Hard Drives carry a one-year warranty and phone support is provided for the life of the product, though it's a toll call and available only on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT. However, the nicely illustrated, concise install guide and the extensive online support will get you through any minor installa... |
Bangladesh's hopes for the cricket World Cup have been hit by injuries to several key players, including star pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman. |
The 23-year-old left arm bowler sprained his ankle warming up for a Dhaka Premier League match on Thursday, joining a growing injury list which includes batsman Mahmudullah Riyad and pace bowler Rubel Hossain. |
Bangladesh had previously barred the injury-prone Mustafizur from playing in the Indian Premier League ahead of the World Cup, which starts May 30. It had let him take part in the domestic 50-over league to keep match-fit however. |
The new injury is expected to sideline him for at least two weeks. |
"Mustafizur is slightly better now. We are hopeful he will play the World Cup," Bangladesh Cricket Board chief physician Debashis Chowdhury told AFP. Debashis is being kept busy by the squad. |
Mahmudullah aggravated a shoulder injury during a recent tour of New Zealand and only returned to tentative training last week. |
Rubel Hossain has been suffering from a side strain. |
"We hope to start his training session within a day or two," said Debashis. |
Wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim, who missed the two Tests in New Zealand started individual training last week while batsman Tamim Iqbal was expected to resume in the upcoming days. |
Pace bowler Taskin Ahmed, who was in superb form before a ligament injury ruled out him of the New Zealand tour, played one domestic league game last week. |
Off-spinner Mehidy Hasan hurt his thumb in a league game last week but returned to action on Monday. |
However, Debashis was hopeful all of the squad would be match-fit for the tournament. |
"With the amount of time we have and the current improvement rate of the players, I don't think any one will miss the World Cup," he said. |
Bangladesh still face a race against time however as they are to play a tri-nation one-day international tournament in Ireland from May 5 against Ireland and the West Indies. |
"We hope we can field all our regular players in the tri-nation and World Cup. We hope to announce the squad in a day or two," said chief selector Minhajul Abedin. |
The deadline for announcing World Cup squads is April 23, but teams can be changed up to May 23. |
This newly discovered moth has been hiding in plain sight for a very long time. Its discovery has given biologists a useful clue about where to look for similar elusive new species. |
Dubbed Antaeotricha floridella, the moth isn’t hard to find—at least if you live in peninsular Florida—and it isn’t a non-native species. It stayed under the radar until now because it resembled an existing moth, and because it had a quirk when it comes to habitat. This quirk might be shared by a number of other specie... |
Until quite recently, A. floridella has been mistaken for Antaeotricha albulella, despite its solid white wings and strikingly different genitalia. This difference went unnoticed until a Mr. Terhune Dickel thought the moth seemed unfamiliar and brought it to Dr. James Hayden of Florida Department of Agriculture and Con... |
This discovery might lead us to more. A. floridella lives only in dry environments. While its well-known cousin, A. albulella flits everywhere, A. floridella has kept a low profile in dry scrub and sand hills. Scientists were well aware that dry and sandy environments support their own specific insects, just like they ... |

After 40 years of service, Fort Smith Fire Marshal Chris Driggers was honored with awards, gifts, food and well wishes at his retirement ceremony Tuesday afternoon. |
Driggers joined the Fort Smith Fire Department in April 1973. Fire Chief Mike Richards recounted stories of Driggers� bravery and service to the people of Fort Smith, as his family and friends smiled proudly from the packed audience. |
�His service to the city has just been outstanding,� Richards said. |
Driggers laughed heartily at the plaque, as Richards recounted the story of a very bad day on which Driggers� beloved FSFD pickup was severely damaged on the job. �This is about all that�s left of it!� laughed Richards. |
Fort Smith Police Chief Kevin Lindsey and Sebastian County Sheriff Bill Hollenbeck also honored Driggers� dedication to the city and people of Fort Smith. |
He explained that after 40 years he will leave behind a lifestyle, not just a job, and will take with him an enormous extended family. |
�Now I�ve got a long honey-do list,� he added, smiling to his wife and two children. |
