MOUNT VERNON — At long last the city will be taking the final steps of annexing the 98.543-acre addition to Ariel-Foundation Park. |
The city owns the property and the expanded park has been in operation for several years, but the annexation was delayed by the process of having the land re-surveyed and problems with old property descriptions corrected. |
Once Council passes the ordinance to petition the county for annexation, the paperwork will be filed with the county to complete the process. |
The evening will actually start Monday with a 20-minute Streets and Public Buildings Committee meeting on the Cut-through Traffic Study. This will involve the results of a test council member Matt Starr had performed by a number of high school students, measuring the time it takes to follow various routes from the sout... |
That will be followed by a 20-minute session of the Utilities Committee to explain the water line construction project on Yellow Jacket Drive, the water line loop project on Venture Drive and the engineering services contract for the maintenance and repair project for the New Gambier Road underground reservoir. |
Utilities Director Mathias Orndorf said the reservoir is overdue for repairs, including repair or replacement of valves and check valves, checking concrete for deterioration and repairing as needed, a total inspection inside of the roof and upgrading the pumping station. The whole project will take about a year. |
Authorization to seek bids for all three projects will be on Monday’s agenda. |
Mayor Richard Mavis said the Yellow Jacket Drive line has been planned for some time and the planned construction of the Yellow Jacket Drive extension is an ideal time to do it. |
At 6:45 p.m. the Planning and Zoning Committee will spend 15 minutes hearing comments on the proposed fines to be included in the Property Maintenance Code. The ordinance will be on the agenda for first reading. |
The committee hearings will end with a 15-minute session of the Planning and Zoning Committee to discuss the proposed vacant property registry. |
The ordinance is on the agenda for second reading. |
• Final approval of an ordinance increasing fines for handicapped parking violations. Mavis said implementation will also involve updating the signs required for handicapped spaces. |
• A resolution authorizing the adoption of the citizen participation plan for the Ohio Community Development Block Grant Program. This is an update that has to be renewed every five years and is unchanged from the last approval. |
• A resolution establishing the city’s membership in the Regional Planning Commission and appointing representatives. |
• A resolution approving the appointment of former Law Director William D. Smith of Mansfield Avenue as an alternate member of the Board of Zoning Appeals, filling the unexpired term of Todd Burson, which ends Aug. 19. |
• First reading of an ordinance amending the Property Maintenance Code to levy fines for repeated violations. |

Think of those restaurant chains that deliberately keep their menus simple — Chipotle, say, or In-N-Out Burger. Then apply that approach to the world of art, and you might have something akin to the Irvine Museum. The small venue, which takes up part of an office building at 18881 Von Karman Ave., restricts itself to a... |
When you look at the images in those old paintings, do you think California has changed a lot since then? |
Well, the land is the same. What's happened to it — in some parts, of course, there's been development. We all agree that we need houses, we need freeways and we need shopping centers, but there's also a desire to try to preserve what we can still preserve. These paintings show us what we've lost, but they also show us... |
Are there any paintings in particular where you look and think, "Boy, I wish that still existed?" |
We have several views of the area around what would now be downtown Irvine. You can see Saddleback Mountain, and there's lots of open space all over. It's of the past, of course; it isn't that way anymore. But we also have paintings of gorgeous coastline that's been preserved, and paintings of the interior hills around... |
You mentioned in the press release that this 20th-anniversary show has some of the museum's "most popular" paintings. How do you determine how popular a painting is? |
Well, we get a lot of comments. We get a lot of feedback. And one painting in particular, as you walk in the doors, is a large painting of poppies and lupines. It's big — it's 32 inches by 80 inches, and it's by Granville Redmond, one of the important painters of California. It was done about 1925. That painting is the... |
How many total pieces are in the anniversary show? |
There are 44 paintings in the show, which is a little less than we normally have because we have some very large paintings. We have paintings that take up the normal space of two or three other paintings, but we wanted to show some of our best paintings, and they're hanging in the show. They're difficult to move — they... |
Was it hard to choose the lineup for the show? |
Yes, it was. Part of it was that we have 88 paintings out [in touring exhibits], which could have easily figured in the show. But the collection is so big. Between the three collections I mentioned earlier, there are about 2,000 paintings. And we can put together — in this case, we have three first-rate shows without b... |
Do you have a personal favorite piece in the whole show? |
What's your favorite child? [laughs] There are a lot of paintings that I love here, and I've been in this business all my life. My father was an art dealer, and I grew up in the art world, and I've been an art history instructor and an art gallery director and a museum director, so I've seen a lot of art and I feel ver... |
We charge $5 for admission, which is lower than almost all other museums, but if you're under 18, it's free. If you're a student, it's free. And if you're a senior citizen over 60, it's free. So by far, most of our constituents come in free anyway, and we're very happy to have that, because we have a lot of dedicated c... |
President Bush has proposed a sixfold increase in aid to the Palestinians, including $150 million in direct cash transfers to the Palestinian Authority, in an effort to bolster the government in advance of a Middle East peace conference planned for later this month in Annapolis. |
The $435 million in additional aid, on top of $77 million requested earlier this year, has attracted little notice in the president's $45.9 billion supplemental request last week to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But, if approved, it would constitute the administration's largest amount of direct aid to the Pale... |
The Bush administration largely cut off aid to the Palestinian government when the militant group Hamas unexpectedly won legislative elections in 2006. But earlier this year, a unity government deal between Hamas and its Fatah rivals collapsed. Hamas forcibly took over the Gaza Strip, leaving the Fatah-led government i... |
Since Hamas seized Gaza, the Bush administration has sought to demonstrate support for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and new Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. The Annapolis conference is designed to show that the Fayyad government is on track to create a Palestinian state, with the backing of Arab leaders, a... |
The aid request "supports a critical and immediate need to support a new Palestinian Authority (PA) government that both the U.S. and Israel view as a true ally for peace," the State Department said in its detailed justification for the aid request, which was sent to Congress yesterday. The "funds would provide immedia... |
Congressional officials said the aid request will face close scrutiny and has little chance of approval if the Annapolis conference does not show substantial results. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice plans to travel to the region later this week to prod Israeli and Palestinian negotiators to agree on a joint text th... |
"The president has won the expectations game on Annapolis: Expectations are low," said a Republican aide, who was granted anonymity in order to speak candidly. "Absent anything accomplished at Annapolis, I can't imagine the Hill will go for this." |
The budget justification said the $150 million cash transfer would help the Palestinian government avert "an immediate fiscal crisis," while $130 million more in project assistance would help create "immediate employment opportunities" that would demonstrate "moderates can deliver jobs and provide hope for a better eco... |
An additional $40 million would be devoted to improving the administration of Palestinian ministries, $10 million would be used to provide security for experts overseeing the project assistance, $25 million is aimed at narcotics enforcement, and $25 million would be devoted to training Palestinian forces loyal to Abbas... |

The fan experience at the MCG and Etihad Stadium was significantly enhanced at the season opening AFL games, with the two premier sporting venues becoming the first in Australia to have full LED digital signage installed. |
Each ground now boasts one kilometre of internal LED digital signage, which will be a game-changer for clubs, advertisers and, most importantly, fans. |
This advancement in the stadium experience is the result of a partnership between Team Epic and the AFL, along with hardware supplier, Corporate Initiatives. |
The LED ribbons have been installed along the circumference of the ground and first-level at Etihad and the MCG. With the signs in place, it is now possible to celebrate moments from the game in real-time, as well as providing an opportunity for advertisers to dominate the space. The opportunity for home team clubs to ... |
Richard Coyne, managing director of Team Epic said, “We are committed to improving fan experience by supporting Australia’s premier sporting venues to be at the cutting edge of technology. As we launch these screens in conjunction with the AFL season, we have developed a great opportunity to give back to the home club ... |
“The opportunity for marketers to use this technology to connect brands with fans across a variety of sports is almost limitless and whilst the initiative has kicked off with AFL, we were mindful of the needs of all tenants of these stadiums, in particular Cricket Australia. On the back of the success of the Cricket Wo... |
The Cherries Community garden conker championships took place at the weekend - the latest evert on the restored land alongside the Cherry gardens pub. |
Coun Michael McLoughlin, who was one of the contestants, said: “The main achievement of the day was bringing the community together ... young and not so young. |
“People and children out in the open air without anybody thumbing data into a keypad. Quite a few dogs graced the event with their presence and they seemed to be enjoying themselves too. |
The Perrys Stage at Lollapalooza on Sunday, August 5, 2018. |
Lollapalooza tickets go on sale Tuesday, which means a lineup announcement can’t be far behind. |
It’s a fool’s game to predict who might be playing the annual festival, which returns Aug. 1-4 for its 15th year in Grant Park. But any music fan can dream about what could or should be. |
Part of my wish list takes into account what Lollapalooza has become, not what it once was. In its first incarnation during the ‘90s, Lollapalooza was a showcase for alternative rock -- bands and artists that represented the mainstream emergence of the punk, post-punk and underground scenes that had been germinating si... |
Today’s Lollapalooza is less about rock and more about hip-hop, electronic and pop music, a reflection of the musical soundtrack for millennial listeners. |
Little wonder that Ariana Grande is the artist most frequently mentioned in Lolla gossip as a potential headliner. Years ago, a mainstream pop act such as Grande wouldn’t have been considered for a slot. But now she’s perceived as an artist whose music, message and persona cut across lines of genre, gender and generati... |
Ariana Grande performs at Wango Tango in Los Angeles June 2, 2018. |
Daft Punk: The French duo last played the festival in 2007, a dazzling presentation with the astronaut-DJs jamming inside an illuminated pyramid. If anything, Daft Punk has only gained in stature and influence since that date, and it would be a coup for any festival to schedule them as a headliner. |
Frank Ocean: The singer moves in mysterious ways. His Lolla set in 2012 was a low-key performance on a late-night side stage, and his concert appearances have been few and far between ever since. Yet his recordings continue to enthrall and entice. |
Talking Heads: This is the Great White Whale of so-far-unrealized ‘80s reunions, though even a one-off appearance by David Byrne, Tine Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison is about as likely as snow in August. Fans from around the world would zoom in for this one, and it might actually live up to the hype – Byrne ... |
Janelle Monae: She’s a dynamic live performer whose versatility and flair for theatricality would translate very well on a big stage. |
Kacey Musgraves: After her Grammy for album of the year, the country-pop artist is ready to make the leap to bigger venues after headlining theaters (her Chicago Theatre show next week is sold out). |
Tame Impala: A new album is in the works for release this year, and the Australian band has proven adept at delivering a psychedelic rock spectacle both sonically and visually. |
Idles: Though not a festival headliner and not even particularly well-known in America yet, the British quintet plays with jaw-dropping intensity. If they get a shot, they’ll make some converts. |
Ric Wilson: At the intersection of dance music and hip-hop, Wilson lit up parties at South by Southwest. He writes philosophical lyrics but never loses sight of the music’s physicality, a combination sure to play well on a festival stage. |
Ohmme: Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart bridge the gap between rock and experimental music with their intertwined voices and guitars. |
Facs: Brian Case’s previous band, Disappears, played the festival previously and did not disappoint. This trio is a Disappears offshoot with a darker, avant-garde take on post-punk. |

Back in his Florida district, U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young decided to toss some red meat at the feet of a group of eager Republicans. |
Taking the microphone at Monday's meeting of the Pinellas Republican Executive Committee, Young said that President Barack Obama, during a recent campaign rally for a Democratic candidate running in Virginia, told Republicans to "go away." |
"He said, 'For those who oppose our policies, you should just shut up and go away,' " Young said to an overflowing crowd of Republican Party activists and insiders. "Well, we ain't gonna shut up and we ain't going away." |
When Young relayed Obama's message, some people in the audience gasped. |
Could the president have said that? |
Almost every word the president utters in public is saved, recorded or typed somewhere. That makes separating truth from fiction when it comes to Obama's public statements pretty easy. |
