Memorial Day Weekend Campground Update
By: Woodall's Campground Magazine|Published on: May 26, 2011|Categories: Industry News| 0 comments
The nation's media have posted numerous stories updating their readers on the status of campgrounds — mostly public ones — for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. Flooding, heavy snowfall, storms and other severe weather conditions have forced delays in openings or even closures.
More information will be added as it becomes available.
Here are highlights from some of those reports:
Boating will not be allowed on Canton Lake through the Memorial Day weekend because the lake is full of debris from Tuesday's tornado, the Oklahoma City Oklahoman reported
"We are telling people to stay off the water," said Tim Coffey, park ranger at Canton Lake. "We have closed off the boat ramps."
Two campgrounds – Canadian and Longdale – will be closed through the Memorial Day weekend.
The lake and dam were not damaged, but the tornado flung tree stumps, mobile home debris and boat parts into the water, said Ross Adkins, spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Tulsa.
The Big Bend and Sandy Cove campgrounds will be open, but the swim beach area at Sandy Cove will be closed because of debris washing up on the shoreline.
The Canadian campground, one of the busiest on the lake 90 minutes northwest of Oklahoma City, received major damage from the tornado.
Tommy Adams, 60, said there were about 60 mobile homes and travel trailers in the Canadian campground, and all seem to be demolished. Owners were piling up what they could salvage Wednesday, and loading it on trailers.
The homes are rental and vacation homes. Access to the area has been limited to homeowners.
Adams, who lives on the other side of the lake, lost four rental cabins in the twister.
"It looks like Joplin here," Adams said. "It was a pretty mean tornado."
Adams said he watched the tornado hit the lake's surface and spiral into a waterspout. He said its path was about a quarter-mile wide.
At least two homes near Longdale boat dock were leveled.
"There is just nothing left," Canton fisherman Donnie Jinkens said of the Canadian campground. "Debris is scattered everywhere."
The few people camping on Tuesday took shelter inside a bathroom on the Canadian campground.
"They bunkered down in a bathroom made out of (concrete) blocks," Jinkens said. "Some of them said the roof was going up and down like it was going to pull the roof off."
All were unharmed.
"Thank goodness this didn't happen in the middle of Memorial Day weekend," Coffey said. "We would have been full down there."
Campgrounds in the Poconos are gearing up for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, but at one campsite, workers are cramming in as much prep work as they can this week after losing several days to the rainy weather, WNEP-TV, Wilkes-Barre, reported.
It's a race against the clock at Delaware Water Gap-Pocono Mountain KOA Campground near Marshalls Creek.
Workers are trying to get everything ready in time for visitors this Memorial Day holiday weekend, prep work that usually takes weeks to get done.
"We have a crew in here and it's weeks and we lost about nine days of those weeks. The rain really slowed everything down," said KOA Manager Sheri Michael. "We're moving full-steam ahead. There's a lot of overtime going on."
The crews are filling in gravel where needed. They're also pulling weeds and doing some construction work on their cabins.
The owners of KOA said after a very wet spring, they were concerned that this trend would continue into the summer and the cabins would get water damage. So as a precaution, they decided to get their crews to raise up the cabins just a little bit to prevent any future issues.
If Mother Nature decides to rain on vacationers' parades this holiday weekend, Michael said the campground is prepared.
"We have a pavilion, lots of activities and things we can do in the pavilion," Michael added.
The possibility of rain in the forecast this weekend isn't stopping people from camping.
KOA campgound has 200 camping spots, but only 11 are still available for this Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park near Medora has closed campgrounds in both the North Unit and South Unit due to record flooding on the Little Missouri River in western North Dakota, the Associated Press reported.
Superintendent Valerie Naylor says the park and its scenic drives remain open to visitors.
Separately, state officials have postponed the 40th anniversary celebration scheduled for Saturday at Little Missouri State Park because of the flooding. A new date was not immediately set.
Lewis and Clark National Forest officials on Wednesday closed forest trails, roads and campgrounds for the Memorial Day weekend because of high water, lingering snow and washed-out roads, the Great Falls Tribune reported.
As of Wednesday, the Natural Resource Conservation Service Water and Climate Center reported that the snow-water equivalent — the amount of liquid water still held in the snowpack — in the Smith, Judith and Musselshell river basins is 287% of the 30-year average.
Many roads that access the forest have been damaged and are impassable. Other roads still are buried by snow.
Snotel sites in area mountain ranges show widespread lingering snow, with 48 inches at Crystal Lake in the Big Snowies, which sits at an elevation of 6,050 feet.
For the first time since 2005, the Beartooth Highway, a major entrance to Yellowstone National Park, between Cooke City and Red Lodge will not open in time for the Memorial Day weekend. Crews are working to open the road on June 3.
Unstable snow conditions and the threat of snow slides continue to limit travel on the East Entrance road in Yellowstone National park through Sylvan Pass to between the hours of 8 p.m. and 10 a.m.
Clearing Dunraven Pass has been pushed back two weeks. The road between Canyon Village and Tower Fall is expected to open June 10, weather permitting.
All other entrances and interior roads in Yellowstone Park are open for the season, including the road that connects the northeast entrance to the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway and Cody, Wyo.
Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks has closed three of its campgrounds. Marshall Cove, North Shore, and Fisherman's Point campgrounds are all closed from flooding.
The race is on to dig out high country campgrounds in time for the Memorial Day Weekend, CBS News, Denver, reported.
"We're making progress," said Janet Sharp, a campground host at the Jefferson Lake Recreation Area.
On Wednesday, Sharp was shoveling heavy snow off of a fire pit. "Some of the places are five, six, seven feet deep," Clint Sharp added.
It's typical for mid-May sunshine to help thaw out the area in Park County, which is at 10,500 feet elevation. But the past two weeks have delivered only more snow. So the pressure is on. All 64 campsites at Jefferson Lake have been reserved for the holiday. The concessionaire promises everything will be open by Friday.
The Missouri River, which has been running high for weeks, had begun to flood a section of the city-owned campground in South Sioux City, S.D., the Sioux City Journal reported
Scenic Park Campground host Carlene Modlin said officials helped campers at 21 sites of the Peninsula, a particularly low-lying area hugging the river, move to other sections of the park.
"We've moved people up all day because it's over the road," she said.
The Missouri's six upstream reservoirs all are close to full with runoff from spring snowmelt and heavy rains, forcing what are expected to be record releases from the Oahe Dam.
Meteorologist Brad Temeyer of the agency's office in Sioux Falls said the releases, planned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to release pressure on reservoirs, are expected to raise the river level in South Sioux City.
Record rainfall on Wednesday – 2.79 inches as of 4 p.m. – won't help, he said.
The current forecast calls for a level of 26.1 feet by this weekend, which Temeyer said is high but not enough for the river to reach its flood stage of 30 feet.
Some areas are already affected. Farm Island Recreation Area east of Pierre canceled camping reservations for about 20 sites for the next two weekends.
Pierre Mayor Laurie Gill said that officials in both cities were working closely with the Army Corps of Engineers. "Today we are going to be seeing maps that are going to be showing us … what the impact will be," she said.
The corps on Wednesday was sending more staff from the agency's office in Omaha to help with the response. Hughes and Stanley County Emergency Manager Rob Fines said that at least 200,000 sandbags would be filled.
Last week's flooding washed away roads to campgrounds in Kittitas County in central Washington and flooded the sites with water and mud, KVEW-TV, Spokane, reported.
Nancy Jones of the Cle Elum Ranger District saidit's the worst damage to the campsites in 15 years. She's trying to warn people around the state they won't be able to access one-third of the campgrounds in Kittitas County.
"So there's just going to be a huge amount of people impacted that come here for Memorial Day weekend that if they get here aren't going to have anywhere to go," she said.
While many of the forest service roads have been washed out and closed, many county roads have also been closed to protect campers from driving up into the mountains and getting stuck there."
Jones says up to 4,000 fewer people will travel east over Snoqualmie Pass to camp.
Winter's grasp on the Tahoe National Forest in east central California remains tight in some popular recreation areas, U.S. Forest Service officials told The Union of Grass Valley.
"Our recreation crews and campground concessionaires have been working hard to get the campgrounds ready for the Memorial Day weekend," said Forest Supervisor Tom Quinn. "The heavy snow and rain received this past winter and spring has delayed the opening of many campgrounds, roads, picnic areas and trails. Considerable snow can still be found at 6,000 feet and above, especially on north facing slopes or in shaded areas."
The following Memorial Day status report of area campgrounds, roads and trails is listed by major transportation corridor or area.
Sierra Buttes area — Sierra County: Open with some snow drifts. Packer Lake Road is not open to the lake or lodge due to snow.
Jackson Meadows Area — Sierra County: The Jackson Meadows Road is only open 6 miles to the Perazzo Meadows Road intersection. Snowmobiling continues along the road.
Reservoirs East of Truckee — Nevada County: Most of the sites are open around Boca, Stampede and Prosser reservoirs. The Boca Dam Road has been closed by the Bureau of Reclamation. Boca campground is only accessible from Highway 89 north.
Interstate 80 — Nevada and Placer counties: The Pacific Crest Trail and other trails along the Sierra Crest are still very snowy. More than eight feet of snow was recorded in mid-May at Donner Summit. Campgrounds including Hampshire Rocks, Indian Springs, North Fork, Tunnel Mills and Onion Valley are all closed due to snow.
Rattlesnake Road is closed due to snow and a large slide and may not be open for a while. Loch Leven trails are very snowy.
Big Bend Visitor Center is not expected to open due to snow damage over the winter. A visitor information office is expected to be available later this summer at Big Bend.
Bowman Lake Road has been plowed to the Fuller Lake dam.

Glorious Defeat'
They came from all over the country in their numbers. And by the time Tunisian referee Youssef Essuayri got the game going at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium (ATS), it was evident that the national soccer team, the Lone Star, was set to make history.Liberians had anticipated victory for the Lone Star, but they were aware that Liberia's soccer history with Ivory Coast (La Cote d'Ivoire) heavily favored the Ivoirians.In their previous 11 encounters, the Ivoirians won eight, and drew the remaining three. Therefore, last Friday's World Cup Russia first leg psychologically favored the Ivoirians, making Liberia the underdogs.However, the performance and the result of the game indicated that Liberia had come of age."In the past, the Ivoirians could have scored three to four goals against Liberia," said a long time follower of games between the two countries. "And so for Liberia to stand up against the highly touted Ivoirian Elephants, and forcing them to resort to delay tactics, especially goalkeeper G. Gbohoro, which earned him a yellow card, meant that the Ivoirians met a strong challenge this time.""It was on that strength that Liberians cheered for Lone Star players after the match. We were impressed with the level of commitment demonstrated by the players, and we are convinced that Tuesday's game in Ivory Coast could make a big difference."But can the strong challenge be replicated for the second leg tomorrow (Nov. 17) in Bouake, central Ivory Coast? Will the Guinea Bissau 'executioner,' William Jebor, receive enough support to let him repeat the miracle in Bouake?With a narrow 1-0 win, the Ivoirians, playing in their backyard, might resort to what they did in the first leg—distributing the ball. But can Lone Star begin tomorrow's game with the manner in which they played the second half of the first leg? Working on the principle that: "He who is down fears no fall," should encourage the national team to take Bouake by storm tomorrow.It is without argument that striker Anthony Laffor would be policed in tomorrow's match, since he was the Ivoirians' tormentor-in-chief on Friday's game.Another fan said, "We hope Laffor could get assistance in the second leg tomorrow so that his efforts will not be in vain like the first leg when his crosses could not be utilized for the desired results."Laffor, who was adjudged by sports journalists as the "Man of the Match," played a leading role, but his crosses could not connect to William Jebor, who was impatiently ready for an opportunity to strike.The overall performance of the national team was nothing but impressive, and it was no accident that the majority of the 15,000 fans had nothing but good wishes for the national team in tomorrow's encounter to determine their chances for the 2018 World Cup Russia.The following are other results around Africa:Mozambique 1-0 Gabon; Sudan 0-1 Zambia; Burundi 2-3 DR Congo; Namibia 0-1 Guinea; Benin 2-1 Burkina Faso; Togo 0-1 Uganda; Morocco 2-0 Equatorial Guinea; Madagascar 2-2 Senegal; Comoros 0-0 Ghana; Kenya 1-0 Cape Verde; Libya 1-0 Rwanda; Angola 1-3 South Africa; Niger 0-3 Cameroon; Mauritania 1-2 Tunisia; Swaziland 0-0 Nigeria; Ethiopia 3-4 Congo; Tanzania 2-2 Algeria; Chad 1-0 Egypt; Botswana 2-1 Mali.Second Leg result:Gabon 1-0 Mozambique (Gabon advance 1-1 on aggregate, 4-3 on penalties after extra time)Lone Star line-up for the second leg:Tommy Songo; Solomon Grimes; Adolphus Marshall; Teah Dennis; Dirkir Glay; Patrick Gerhardt/Tonia Disdell; Sam Johnson; Patrick Wleh/Alseny Keita; William Jebor; Zah Krangar, and; Anthony Laffor.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more

Passenger collapses, dies while boarding plane at CJIA
A male passenger, a citizen of the British Virgin Islands, on Sunday morning collapsed and died while boarding an outgoing American Airlines flight to Miami at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).Dead: Kodzo EkpeDead is Kodzo Ekpe. Guyana Times understands that Ekpe, who was a professor at the St Croix Educational Complex, and former Principal of Montserrat SDA School, was on vacation in Guyana with his wife to celebrate his mother-in-law's 80th birthday and their family's reunion.This newspaper was told that attempts were made to revive him and he was rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre where he was pronounced dead on arrival.Based on reports from the Public Health Ministry, reports received from the Port Health Officer revealed that best efforts were made by the licensed health care provider on duty to save the passenger's life.This newspaper was told that just before he collapsed, Ekpe complained to his wife about feeling unwell on his way to the boarding gate before deciding to utilise his self-care nebuliser, since he was asthmatic. He, however, collapsed and the Port Health Officer was alerted.By that time, another passenger had already begun to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on the unresponsive passenger.An investigation has been launched. read more
Stabroek, Bourda Markets identified as 'criminal hotspots' – Chief Constable
…suspected to be gang relatedCriminal activities have increased in the city, and the City Constabulary has named two of Georgetown's prominent markets as popular criminal hotspots where consumers are attacked and robbed on a daily basis. These offences are suspected to be gang-related.Chief Constable Andrew Foo on Friday said the Stabroek and Bourda markets have been on the radar for quite a while now on the basis of the increase in criminal activities in those areas."Those are two areas that have been identified in terms of criminal hotspots. The Stabroek section: on the weekends, you find a number of criminal activities that are taking place primarily on the bus parks in front of the Stabroek Market. Likewise, at the Bourda Market area, we have activities occurring primarily by night and in the wee hours of the morning around two or three 'o' clock," he stated.Foo explained that at the Stabroek Market, since it is a transportation hub, persons entering and leaving public transportation are the main targets. With respect to Bourda Market, most of the incidents occur among vendors and shoppers in the rush hours, when sales are at peak.The Stabroek Market Clock"What we've found at the Stabroek and Bourda areas, most of these activities are gang-related. We've had information that some persons who are seasoned — old in terms of criminal elements — they are the ones who are orchestrating these robberies. They have the younger persons who are working with them; and likewise, you have persons operating on motorcycles, so they operate in pairs, so it is more gang-related," Foo disclosed.In some cases, the Chief Constable revealed, students are participating in these offences. To tackle this issue, there have been collaborations between the Guyana Police Force (GPF) and the Constabulary to provide a 24h patrol."Like the Guyana Police Force (GPF), we (the Constabulary) would've been working very quietly to keep a limb on these activities. What we would've done, being quite aware that our numbers are a bit limited, we would've had a joint arrangement with the Guyana Police Force; and we've since launched a joint patrol," Foo explained.Of all the criminal activities reported, the Chief Constable revealed, simple larceny and robbery are the common widespread offences."In keeping with those areas in the reports that we've been getting of larceny and robberies being committed, we've made an effort in terms of resources allocated to those areas. Therefore, our focus is in those two in terms of areas to ensure that the members of the public and shoppers are kept safe," he said.Foo emphasised the fact that the City Constabulary has a responsibility to regulate the vending activities within the city, and as such, works have also been done in that area."Outside of that, we have a responsibility (to regulate) vending activities within the city. Whilst we are aware that there is a soft approach in terms of vending, there is a need at times for activities of vendors to be regulated, and the Constabulary continues to work in that area. The Constabulary has a responsibility in terms of the enforcement of the city government bylaws as well as other laws within the city limits, as well as in terms of providing support to the other departments." read more
Milan clubs unveil rival projects for new San Siro stadium
"Italian football needs to face the fact that for the past 20 years it has been moving back and not forwards," AC Milan chief executive Ivan Gazidis said at the unveiling."We talk about the pride and heritage of San Siro and believe me, it's an icon for me."But all around the world the best leagues, the best clubs are built on solid foundations and the best thing is a world class stadium."Both clubs are former European giants with AC Milan having won the Champions League seven times and Inter were the last Italian team to win the European title, when they lifted the trophy for the third time in 2010.Neither have lifted the Serie A title since AC Milan triumphed in 2011.City authorities are divided on the project, with Milan Mayor Guiseppe Sala insisting he wants to renovate the existing stadium so that it could celebrate its centenary in 2026 by hosting the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics that year.Nevertheless the two Milan clubs have gone ahead and shortlisted two projects — 'The Cathedral' by US architecture group 'Populous' and 'Rings of Milan' by Italo-American firm Manica-Cmr Sportium.Architect David Manica said his firm's interlocked 'Rings' project symbolised the story of how the two clubs, forever in opposition, and now united in the project for a new stadium.The Manica project would include 10 hectares of gardens around the new district, with the pitch of the old San Siro stadium conserved as part of a large piazza for festivals.Populous's monumental glass facade 'Cathedral' project draws inspiration from two of Milan's most iconic buildings — the Duomo and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele — and would be surrounded by 22 acres of green space."We've seen the power of sports stadium to regenerate an area like in London," said Populous's Cristopher Lee, who said his firm had designed 1,300 stadiums worldwide including the London Olympic stadium, and new Arsenal and Tottenham grounds in London.Lee said that spectators would be just 10 metres from the pitch which would generate "an incredible atmosphere and wall of people".Both projects are eco-friendly and play on the changing colours on match nights — blue when Inter Milan play and red for AC Milan.The new stadium would be no higher than 30 metres, less than half the 68 metres of the current San Siro.– October 10 deadline –The plans will now be presented to the municipality who will give its response by October 10 on whether to renovate or go ahead with the project to rebuild.The clubs calculate that to renovate would cost around 510 million euro, against 650 million for a new stadium."The San Siro is no longer suitable for two large clubs who want to play a world class role, full stop," said AC Milan chief executive Paolo Scaroni."We love the San Siro very much but it is high time for a change. It's a sort of desert in the middle of nowhere."We have to build something new and a neighbourhood that can be used 365 days a year and not only on match days."Alessandro Antonello, chief executive of Chinese-owned Inter Milan, said the project would take 36 months from approval to delivery — "in good time to be ready for Olympics."0Shares0000(Visited 15 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000The San Siro is home to AC Milan and Inter Milan who have won ten Champions League titles between them © AFP / Miguel MEDINAMILAN, Italy, Sep 26 – An oval stadium with interlocked rings or a 'cathedral' to football inspired by Milan's Duomo, the two short-listed projects for a new 1.2 billion euro ($1.34 billion) San Siro Stadium were officially unveiled by the city's two rival clubs on Thursday.AC Milan and Inter Milan — who share the iconic stadium to the west of the city — want to knock down the San Siro and build a new 60,000-capacity home adjacent to the old stadium which makes way for an area "dedicated to sports, entertainment, and shopping". read more

Health care shabby for all
Blacks and Hispanics as a group each got 58 percent of the best care, compared with 54 percent for whites. Those with annual household income over $50,000 got 57 percent, 4 points more than people from households with income of less than $15,000. Patients without insurance got 54 percent of recommended steps, just 1 point less than those with managed care. As to gender, women came out slightly ahead with 57 percent, compared with 52 percent for men. Young adults did slightly better than the elderly. There were narrow snapshots of inequality: An insured white woman, for example, got 57 percent of the best standard of care, while an uninsured black man got just 51 percent. "Though we are improving, disparities in health care still exist," said Dr. Garth Graham, director of the U.S. Office of Minority Health. Graham, who is black, pointed to other data showing enduring inequality in care, including a large federal study last year. He also said minorities go without treatment more often than whites, and such people were missed entirely in the survey. Some experts took heart in the relative equality within the survey. "The study did find some reassuring things," said Dr. Tim Carey, who runs a health service research center at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. But all health experts interviewed fretted about the uniformly low standard. "Regardless of who you are or what group you're in, there is a significant gap between the care you deserve and the care you receive," said Dr. Reed Tuckson, who is black and a vice president of United HealthGroup, which runs health plans and sells medical data. Health experts blame the generally poor care on an overburdened, fragmented system that fails to keep close track of patients with an increasing number of multiple conditions. Quality specialists said improvements can come with more public reporting of performance, more uniform training, more computerized checks and more coordination by patients themselves. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You're all set! BOSTON – Startling research from the biggest study ever of U.S. health care quality suggests that Americans – rich, poor, black, white – get roughly equal treatment, but it's woefully mediocre for all. "This study shows that health care has equal-opportunity defects," said Dr. Donald Berwick, who runs the nonprofit Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Cambridge, Mass. The survey of nearly 7,000 patients, reported in today's New England Journal of Medicine, considered only urban-area dwellers who sought treatment, but it still challenged some stereotypes: The blacks and Hispanics actually got slightly better medical treatment than whites. While the California-based researchers acknowledged separate evidence that minorities fare worse in certain areas of expensive care and suffer more from some conditions than whites, their study found that once in treatment, minorities' overall care appears similar to that of whites.

It doesn't matter whether you're rich or poor, white or black, insured or uninsured," said chief author Dr. Steven Asch at the Rand Health research institute in Santa Monica. "We all get equally mediocre care." The researchers, who included U.S. Veterans Affairs personnel, first published their findings for the general population in June 2003. They reported the breakdown by income, racial and other groupings on Thursday. They examined medical records and phone interviews from 6,712 patients, picked at random, who visited a medical office within a two-year period in 12 metropolitan areas from Boston to Miami to Seattle. The group was not nationally representative but does convey a broad picture of the country's health care. The survey examined whether people got the highest standard of treatment for 439 measures ranging across common chronic and acute conditions and disease prevention. It looked at whether they got the right tests, drugs and treatments. Overall, patients received only 55 percent of recommended steps for top-quality care – and no group did much better or worse than that. read more

Inspirational priest completes walk from Letterkenny to Cork for MND
A Dublin priest received a hero's welcome in Cork this week after finishing a 550KM walk for motor neuron disease. Fr Tony Coote started a nationwide movement this summer when he launched a fundraising journey for MND awareness. The unstoppable priest's 'Walk While You Can' campaign has raised hundreds of thousands of euro in support of the Motor Neurone Disease Association.Fr Coote set out to spread a message of hope after being diagnosed with MND in March 2018. He began in Letterkenny on July 10th and travelled the length of Ireland with his supporters on an amazing journey that touched many hearts. FR. Tony Coote beginning his Walk While You Can Fundraiser from Letterkenny to Ballydehob for support, research and care of Motor Neuron Disease. Photo Clive WassonThere were huge celebrations in Ballydehob in Cork on Monday when the 27-day trip came to an end. Now, the final push is on to reach Fr Coote's €250,000 target.Fr Tony Coote said: "Since I was diagnosed I realised the only medication is 24 years old and that the Motor Neurone Disease Association can only provide three nurses for the whole country with just over 400 people living with this illness. Their salaries are paid for by church gate collections."Rather than complaining about these facts, Fr Tony used his time and his voice to do something about it. And he has done just that by reaching so many towns and communities on this journey.If you wish to support the fund, visit: http://wwyc.ie/ Inspirational priest completes walk from Letterkenny to Cork for MND was last modified: August 9th, 2018 by Rachel McLaughlinShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:fr tony cootemotor neuron diseasewalk while you can read more
Family's battle to help brave Niall over cancer battle
A campaign to provide accommodation for a Donegal family whose 16-year-old son has just been diagnosed with cancer is bringing the entire community together.On November 16th last Niall Gallagher went to his GP feeling unwell. Niall had been feeling very tired and low in energy which was highly unusual for him.He then presented with some swelling on some of his organs. His doctor referred him to Letterkenny University Hospital immediately. He spent the night there in the haematology ward before being rushed to St. James' Hospital in Dublin on Sunday 17th November.

BANJUL, Gambia (AP) — Gambians tore down posters of longtime President Yahya Jammeh and celebrated in the streets as the military stood by Friday after election officials said the ruler of more than two decades would concede defeat in a startling turn of events for a country where the critics have long alleged votes are rigged and opponents jailed.
Just days earlier Jammeh had declared that no demonstrations of any kind would be permitted regardless of the vote's outcome.
For the tens of thousands watching abroad from political exile, it was a day they thought might never come.
"We have freedom at last! And there will be an economic boom, and people jailed can be freed, and people exiled abroad will come back home to their families," said Aminata Jawara, a 23-year-old lab technician.
Jammeh finished with just 36 percent of the vote compared to the winner Adama Barrow with 45 percent. Another opposition candidate who was not in the eight-party coalition finished with 17 percent, according to the national election commission.
Jammeh will be calling Barrow "to congratulate him and pray for peace and tranquility," said Alieu Momarr Njai, chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission. Jammeh himself had not issued a public statement by late afternoon.
Many Gambians stayed up all night listening to the radio and tallying results as they were read out constituency by constituency. News of Barrow's victory prompted thousands to take to the streets in celebration – some on foot while others rode in cars and trucks and on motorbikes – as confused soldiers looked on.
Eight opposition parties united behind Barrow, a former businessman, and the campaign period featured large opposition rallies and unprecedented expressions of frustration with Jammeh's rule.
Nevertheless, Jammeh had projected confidence, saying his victory was all but assured by God and predicting "the biggest landslide in the history of the country" after he voted on Thursday.
Jammeh came to power in a coup in 1994 and then swept elections in 1996, 2001, 2006 and 2011 after a 2002 constitutional amendment removed presidential term limits. Critics say those earlier elections were not free and fair.
Human rights groups have accused Jammeh of ordering the deaths of countless political opponents as well as targeting journalists and gays and lesbians.
All internet and international phone service was cut on election day in a bid by Jammeh to thwart unrest.
If Jammeh does step down peacefully, it would demonstrate that even Africa's most entrenched leaders can be brought down if opposition politicians overcome their divisions and unite, said Jeffrey Smith, a human rights activist and founding director of Vanguard Africa, a U.S.-based group that worked with Gambia's opposition coalition.

For background on the Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC), where disabled people are subjected to abuse including painful electric shock as punishment (not the same thing as electroconvulsive therapy), food deprivation, sleep deprivation, and other forms of torture, see my page with JRC resources.
Today, Nancy Weiss announced that "the New York State Department of Education is requiring that JRC stop using the GED 3A and the GED 4 (the two electric shock devices currently in use) on any New York State student within 30 days. While we don't have specific figures, it is assumed that about half of the people at JRC are New York State residents. This is an important step."

Project : Potato Storage Warehouses
Location : New Annan, PEI
Customer : Cavendish Farms
Cavendish Farms decided that they needed 2 new potato storage warehouses in April, 2017. The warehouses also needed to be complete in time for potato harvest that fall.
A pre-engineered structure was considered, but the delivery timeline was too long for the client and there was not enough flexibility to accommodate the client's needs for state of the art potato storage and humidity control. By the end of May, an agreement was reached and Marid proceeded immediately with detailed design and material procurement.
The Marid engineering team worked with the client and other disciplines to design and coordinate details for ventilation, power distribution and conditioning of the interior environment. Having control over the structural design permitted Marid to specifically design and detail the structure to optimize and standardize details and pieces, streamlining fabrication and erection.
Erection began on July 2, 2017, 2 months after Marid was given approval to proceed, a timeline that would have been almost impossible to match with a "design-bid-build" approach. Site activities were carefully coordinated with the fabrication, galvanizing, precast and IMP panel installation schedules, resulting in a safer, more productive and lean jobsite.
Erection wrapped up in late summer followed by installation of custom potato retention doors. The buildings were completed on schedule and ready to receive potatoes on October 1, 2017.

Pursuant to Academic Regulation 2102, the current Course Catalog is the definitive source of information regarding each concentration's requirements. Please refer to the catalog for that information.
The Criminal Law concentration prepares students for a host of successful careers in the criminal justice field, including as prosecutors, defense attorneys, and policymakers.
The concentration offers an excellent practical and theoretical foundation in the law, along with outstanding opportunities to apply that knowledge in the field. Through a broad array of externships and clinics, students can work for judges, federal, state and local government officials, and in defense advocacy, gaining invaluable hands-on experience and making useful connections for the future.
For example, as part of the popular Criminal Practice Clinic, students may find themselves working in a DA's or PD's office for a semester and conducting their own evidentiary hearings in court. Among the options for students passionate about applying the law to achieve social reform, the Civil Justice Clinic's "clean slate program," advocates on behalf of individuals who face difficulties getting a job or obtaining federal benefits because of past convictions that have yet to be expunged.
The Criminal Law faculty at UC Hastings is a dedicated, dynamic group whose interests and specialties are broad reaching. They include correctional system reform leaders like Professor Hadar Aviram, co-chair of the UC Hastings Institute for Criminal Justice and writer for the influential California Correctional Crisis blog. For those looking to learn more about federal criminal law and ethics in justice, students can study with Professor Rory Little, a leading authority in the field who was a former Associate Deputy Attorney General in Washington D.C. under Attorney General Janet Reno.
Students in this concentration often join the UC Hastings Criminal Law Society, creating a strong peer group that they can turn to in work and life after graduating. Our Criminal Law students can also tap into a large network of nearby alumni who hold key positions within the local, state, and federal justice system. These connections can provide future alums with the support and mentorship essential to affect change right from the start.
Twenty-two total units are required.
The list of courses within the categories below is up to date as of the publication of this posting. New courses are sometimes added to the curriculum subsequent to publication. Therefore, if a student finds a course in the curriculum not listed above, but which the student thinks might count toward concentration requirements, the student should check with the concentration advisor regarding the eligibility of the course to satisfy concentration requirements.
Students must successfully complete a paper that satisfies the writing requirement and that is substantially related to criminal law, criminal procedure, or criminal theory. The paper may be produced for any course or independent project. The Advisors of the concentration will have the authority to determine whether the student's topic satisfies the requirement. Students are encouraged to seek an Advisor's approval of their topic prior to embarking on a writing project.

Presque Isle senior Madison Michaud became the school's first All American Soccer Player. Michaud is one of three girls who were voted All Americans. Michaud said she was very surprised by the honor.
Madison Michaud:" I was really honored to even be considered to be an All American."
Michaud had an outstanding High School career, but she also feels that traveling downstate to play on a traveling team helped get her additional exposure.
(Madison Michaud):" I think it had a lot to do with the stats, but it had to do a lot with how I traveled downstate to play soccer. You need a lot of south coach votes to receive All American."
Michaud helped lead the Wildcats to back to back Regional Championships. Her Coach Ralph Michaud says she earned the right to be called All American.
(Ralph Michaud):" Since girls soccer started in Maine there's been roughly 13 thousand players and she is fifth all time leading scorer with 122 goals. She deserves to be an All American."
Michaud:" Every year she got better. She scored 25 goals her freshman year, 27 her sophomore year, 34 her junior year and 36 her senior year. It's not like she was a secret to teams after her freshmen year all the teams we played knew her and she worked on her game."
Madison was one of three players named All American. Former Caribou resident Kassie Krul also earned the award along with Kristina Kelly both of Camden Hills.
Michaud:" Kassie and I have played soccer together since we were five years old and all three of us played on the same travel team throughout High School."
Her Coach says that he will be very proud to see Madison's name on display in the Wildcats gym.
Michaud:" Her name will be up on the wall forever as an All American.Quite a tribute to her."
Two other players achieved All New England status. Alex Ezzy of Caribou and Jonah Hudson of Presque Isle were both recognized..
(Alex Ezzy):" I didn't know because I thought I would be told before so it was a surprise. I told myself I am not going to be getting this see who is getting this and be proud for them. I heard my name and heard them talking about me and I was like wow."
(Jonah Hudson):"Sometimes when you play defense you don't get the stats to show for your effort, but it was cool to be recognized for being a fullback. There were a lot of back recognized that day and that was pretty cool."
Ezzy:" I want to thank all my teammates and coaches and anyone who I really worked with over the past four years. Every workout I have done and I wouldn't be able to do it without them."
Hudson:" The team getting recognized for winning the State Championship. I think without winning the State Championship I don't know if I would be recognized with the award. I got the thank my teammates for putting me in positions to be successful and my coaches too."


The first blogpost I ever wrote was about the no-poo method using baking soda and apple cider vinegar. I've since been experimenting with lots of different methods, just to help those who aren't huge fans of baking soda. And variety is good in life, isn't it? So here you go, welcome the mighty soapnuts into your bathroom! Your hair (and your wallet) will thank you.
It's been almost a year now since I started my experiment with the no-poo method. I'm happier than ever, and my hair is still getting healthier and prettier every day. So I believe it's the perfect time to share my best tips with you on how to make the no-poo method work for any hair. And yes, that includes yours!
Today is a special day worth popping a bottle of sparkling wine open. I have finally uploaded my first YouTube video! I really hope that I'll be able to inspire someone in the world to try this method and get a step closer to a primal lifestyle. Trust me, it's all worth it when you start seeing positive changes in your body, and, of course, in your wallet!

Hop, skip and jump your way through lavender fields and across lush green hills with this definitively French bucket list experience. Fill your basket to the brim with French tasties and bottles of cheap but delicious champagne and spend an afternoon eating, snoozing and lolling under the French sun. Mais oui!


JOHN A. MURCHISON. – The subject of this sketch is one of the younger men of Union county , having the distinction of being a native son of this section, and to his credit it may be said that he has so demeaned himself that his life reflects credit upon his native county and her institutions. Mr. Murchison is a man of energy, ability, and sagacity, which have given him a good success in his chosen line of occupation-farming- and he is numbered with the enterprising and successful agriculturists and stockmen of the county.
John A. was born in Union county, on the old farm that joins the town of Summerville, where he now lives, the date of this event being June 5, 1871, and his parents were Murdo and Marion (Matheson) Murchison. His parents were born in Canada, the father on January 6, 1818 and the mother on October 12, 1824, the former coming to Stark county, Illinois, in 1853, and the mother in 1849. In April, 1863, they were married, and immediately started across the plains, in the large train, known as the Scotch train, composed of two hundred and fifty wagons, the trip being completed without serious accident of any kind. They settled on the present home place in the suburbs of Summerville, where the father devoted himself to farming and raising stock, and has constantly given himself to those industries sinces that time. During all the years of hardship incident to pioneer life, they toiled faithfully on, and also were exposed to the ravages of the red men, whose hostile attitude brought much suffering and loss upon the residents of this valley. Many times they were forced to pay as high as ten dollars for a sack of flour, and other things needed cost in proportion. Three children were born to them: Belle, wife of John McRae, of Summerville; Bertie A., wife of Thomas A. Rinehart, of Summerville; John A., the subject of this sketch. Mrs. Murchison died on January 22, 1901, after a good life of faithful achievements, beloved and esteemed by all.
Our subject was raised on the farm, receiving a good education from the public schools, and he has remained with his father nearly all of the time. On March 16, 1898, Mr. Murchison married Miss Katie F. Bunnell, daughter of Samuel Bunnell, late of Wallowa, and to them two children have been born; Marold M. and Marion O. Mr. Murchison owns two hundred acres of land in the vicinity of Summerville, valuable both for its timber and its agricultural purposes. Our subject is a member of the A.F.&A.M., Lodge No. 67, and the Eastern Star, No. 62, of Summerville. The father nad mother of our subject were faithful members of the Presbyterian church and stanch supporters of the Christian faith.


Beautiful food typical of Piedmont. We all have the degustation dinner for €25 and wine from Alba. We were all very happy. Close to Monte Grappa Metro station. Enjoy a walk later in the Tessoreria Park. A wonderful evening with friends.

As a conceptual artist and arts educator, Rashed has been influential to a new generation of Saudi talent while also nurturing local artistic practices as a founding member of the Saudi Arabia Fine Arts society and the Art Education Society. In 2009, he established the Tasami Centre for Visual Arts, an independent space that supports cutting-edge art in the Kingdom, and was the organisation's director until 2014.
In his work, Rashed utilises found objects and appropriated imagery as conceptual means of identifying the signs of the everyday, creating what he describes as a 'semantic field' through which philosophical questions, primarily the purpose of human existence and the functions of society, can be explored. With playful forms, he seeks to engage viewers with the signifiers of the mundane in order to facilitate a consideration of what might otherwise create tension, such as the omnipresence of media, a global descent into superficiality, and the growing epidemic of apathy that has come to define modern life.
Rashed has exhibited widely in the Arab Gulf and abroad at such venues and events as The Bates College Museum of Art, Maine, USA (2016); Ayyam Gallery DIFC, Dubai (2016); Low Gallery, San Diego (2016); The Armory Show, New York (2015); JOAU Tunis (2015); Hewar Art Gallery, Riyadh (2015); Hafez Gallery, Jeddah (2015); the Annual Exhibition of Emirates Fines Arts Society, Sharjah Art Museum (2012); and the Ostraka International Forum, Sharm Al Sheikh.

NYC is Dead Forever… Here's Why
HAFAugust 19, 2020
I love NYC. When I first moved to NYC, it was a dream come true. Every corner was like a theater production happening right in front of me. So much personality, so many stories.
by James Altucher
Every subculture I loved was in NYC. I could play chess all day and night. I could go to comedy clubs. I could start any type of business. I could meet people. I had family, friends, opportunities.
No matter what happened to me, NYC was a net I could fall back on and bounce back up.
Now it's completely dead.
"But NYC always always bounces back." No. Not this time.
"But NYC is the center of the financial universe. Opportunities will flourish here again." Not this time.
"NYC has experienced worse." No it hasn't.
A Facebook group formed a few weeks ago that was for people who were planning a move and wanted others to talk to and ask advice from. Within two or three days it had about 10,000 members.
Every day I see more and more posts, "I've been in NYC forever but I guess this time I have to say goodbye." Every single day I see those posts. I've been screenshotting them for my scrapbook.
Three of the most important reasons to move to NYC:
And, of course, friends. But if everything I say below is even 1/10 of what I think, then there won't be as many opportunities to make friends.
A) BUSINESS
Midtown Manhattan, the center of business in NYC, is empty. Even though people can go back to work, famous office buildings like the Time-Life skyscraper are still 90% empty.
Businesses have realized that they don't need their employees at the office.
In fact, they've realized they are even more productive with everyone at home. The Time-Life Building can handle 8,000 workers. Now it maybe has 500 workers back.
"What do you mean?" a friend of mine said to me when I told him Midtown should be called Ghost Town. "I'm in my office right now!"
"What are you doing there?"
"Packing up," he said and laughed, "I'm shutting it down." He works in the entertainment business.
Another friend of mine works at a major investment bank as a managing director. Before the pandemic, he was at the office every day, sometimes working from 6 a.m.–10 p.m.
Now he lives in Phoenix, Arizona. "As of June," he told me, "I had never even been to Phoenix." And then he moved there. He does all his meetings on Zoom.
I was talking to a book editor who has been out of the city since early March. "We've been all working fine. I'm not sure why we would need to go back to the office."
One friend of mine, Derek Halpern, was convinced he'd stay. He put up a Facebook post the other day saying he might be changing his mind. Derek wrote:
"In the last week:
I watched a homeless person lose his mind and start attacking random pedestrians. Including spitting on, throwing stuff at, and swatting.
I've seen several single parents with a child asking for money for food. And then, when someone gave them food, tossed the food right back at them.
I watched a man yell racist slurs at every single race of people while charging, then stopping before going too far.
And worse.
I've been living in New York City for about 10 years. It has definitely gotten worse and there's no end in sight.
My favorite park is Madison Square Park. About a month ago a 19-year-old girl was shot and killed across the street.
I don't think I have an answer but I do think it's clear: it's time to move out of NYC.
I'm not the only one who feels this way, either. In my building alone, the rent has plummeted almost 30% — more people are moving away than ever before.
It's not goodbye yet. But a lifelong New Yorker is thinking about it."
I picked his post out but I could've picked from dozens of others.
People say, "NYC has been through worse," or "NYC has always come back."
No and no.
First, when has NYC been through worse?
Even in the 1970s, and through the '80s, when NYC was going bankrupt, even when it was the crime capital of the U.S. or close to it, it was still the capital of the business world (meaning, it was the primary place young people would go to build wealth and find opportunity).
It was culturally on top of its game — home to artists, theater, media, advertising, publishing. And it was probably the food capital of the U.S..
NYC has never been locked down for five months. Not in any pandemic, war, financial crisis, never.
In the middle of the polio epidemic, when little kids (including my mother) were becoming paralyzed or dying (my mother ended up with a bad leg), NYC didn't go through this.
This is not to say what should have been done or should not have been done. That part is over. Now we have to deal with what IS.
In early March, many people (not me), left NYC when they felt it would provide safety from the virus and they no longer needed to go to work and all the restaurants were closed.
People figured, "I'll get out for a month or two and then come back."
They are all still gone.
And then in June, during rioting and looting, a second wave of NYCers (this time including me) left. I have kids.
Nothing was wrong with the protests but I was a little nervous when I saw videos of rioters after curfew trying to break into my building.
Many people left temporarily but there were also people leaving permanently. Friends of mine moved to Nashville, Miami, Austin, Denver, Salt Lake City, Dallas, etc..
Now a third wave of people is leaving. But they might be too late. Prices are down 30–50% on both rentals and sales no matter what real estate people tell you. And rentals are soaring in the second- and third-tier cities.
I'm temporarily, although maybe permanently, in South Florida now. I also got my place sight unseen.
Robyn was looking at listings around Miami and then she saw an area we had never been to before. We found three houses we liked.
She called the real estate agent. Place No. 1: Just rented that morning 50% higher than the asking price. Place No. 2: Also rented (by other New Yorkers. The agent said they came from New York for three hours, saw the place, got it, and went back to pack). Place No. 3: Available.
"We'll take it!" The first time we physically saw it was when we flew down and moved in.
"This is temporary, right?" I confirmed with Robyn. But… I don't know. I'm starting to like the sun a little bit. I mean, when it's behind the shades. And when I am in air conditioning.
But let's move on for a second:
Summary: Businesses are remote and they aren't returning to the office. And it's a death spiral — the longer offices remain empty, the longer they will remain empty.
In 2005, a hedge fund manager was visiting my office and said, "In Manhattan you practically trip over opportunities in the street."
Now the streets are empty.
B) CULTURE
I co-own a comedy club, Standup NY, on 78th and Broadway. I'm very, very proud of the club and grateful to my fellow owners Dani Zoldan and Gabe Waldman and our manager Jon Boreamayo.
It's a great club. It's been around since 1986 and before that it was a theater.
One time, Henry Winkler stopped by to come on my podcast. He was the one who told me it had been a theater.
"I grew up two doors down from here and used to perform here as a kid. Then I went out to LA to be the Fonz and now I'm back here, full circle, to be on your podcast. This place has history."
Things like that happen in NYC.
(When Henry Winkler stopped by Standup NY and I got to meet the Fonz!)
In the past year, Jim Gaffigan, Jerry Seinfeld, Tracy Morgan, and many others have been on the stage.
It's only one step to get onstage. Jim Gaffigan fell flat on his face while he was walking up the step. The next day, on Seth Meyers' late night show, Jim said, "I failed at the one thing you're supposed to do — I couldn't stand up!"
I love the club. Before the pandemic I would perform there throughout the week in addition to many other clubs around the city and, in the past few months, clubs in Chicago, Denver, San Jose, LA, Cincinnati, all over the Netherlands, and other places.
I miss it.
We had a show in May. An outdoor show. Everyone socially distanced. But we were shut down by the police. I guess we were superspreading humor during a very serious time.
The club is doing something fun: It's doing shows outside in the park. This is a great idea.
In a time like this, businesses need to give to the community, not complain and not take.
That said, we have no idea when we will open. Nobody has any idea. And the longer we remain closed, the less chance we will ever reopen profitably.
Broadway is closed until at least the spring. The Lincoln Center is closed. All the museums are closed.
Forget about the tens of thousands of jobs lost in these cultural centers. Forget even about the millions of dollars of tourist-generated revenues lost by the closing of these centers.
There are thousands of performers, producers, artists, and the entire ecosystem of art, theater, production, curation, that surrounds these cultural centers.
People who have worked all of their lives for the right to be able to perform even once on Broadway, whose lives and careers have been put on hold.
I get it. There was a pandemic.
But the question now is: What happens next? And, given the uncertainty (since there is no known answer), and given the fact that people, cities, economies loathe uncertainty, we simply don't know the answer and that's a bad thing for New York City.
Right now, Broadway is closed "at least until early 2021" and then there are supposed to be a series of "rolling dates" by which it will reopen.
The Schulman Theater on Broadway on a Friday evening
But is that true? We simply don't know. And what does that mean? And will it have to be only 25% capacity?
Broadway shows can't survive with that! And will performers, writers, producers, investors, lenders, stagehands, landlords, etc. wait a year?
Same for the museums, the Lincoln Center, and the thousands of other cultural reasons millions come to New York City every year.
The hot dog stands outside of the Lincoln Center? Finished.
C) FOOD
My favorite restaurant is closed for good. OK, let's go to my second favorite. Closed for good. Third favorite, closed for good.
I thought the PPP was supposed to help. No? What about emergency relief? No. Stimulus checks? Unemployment? No and no. OK, my fourth favorite, or what about that place I always ordered delivery from? No and no.
Around late May, I took walks and saw that many places were boarded up.
OK, I thought, because the protesting was leading to looting and the restaurants were protecting themselves. They'll be OK.
Looking closer, I'd see the signs. For lease. For rent. For whatever.
Before the pandemic, the average restaurant had only 16 days of cash on hand. Some had more (McDonalds), and some had less (the local mom-and-pop Greek diner).
Yelp estimates that 60% of restaurants around the United States have closed.
My guess is more than 60% will be closed in New York City but who knows.
Someone said to me, "Well, people will want to come in now and start their own restaurants! There is less competition."
I don't think you understand how restaurants work.
Restaurants want other restaurants nearby. That's why there's one street in Manhattan (46th St. between 8th and 9th) called Restaurant Row.
It's all restaurants. That's why there's another street called Little India and another one called Koreatown.
Restaurants happen in clusters and then people say, "Let's go out to eat," and even if they don't know where they want to eat they go to the area where all the restaurants are.
If the restaurants are no longer clustered, fewer people go out to eat (they are on the fence about where so they elect to stay home). Restaurants breed more restaurants.
And again, what happens to all the employees who work at these restaurants? They are gone. They left New York City. Where did they go?
I know a lot of people who went to Maine, Vermont, Tennessee, upstate, Indiana, etc. Back to live with their parents or live with friends or live cheaper. They are gone, and gone for good.
And what person wakes up today and says, "I can't wait to set up a pizza place in the location where 100,000 other pizza places just closed down."?
People are going to wait awhile and see. They want to make sure the virus is gone, or there's a vaccine, or there's a profitable business model.
Or… even worse.
D) COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE
If building owners and landlords lose their prime tenants (the store fronts on the bottom floor, the offices on the middle floors, the well-to-do on the top floors, etc.) then they go out of business.
And what happens when they go out of business?
Nothing actually. And that's the bad news.
People who would have rented or bought say,
"Hmmm, everyone is saying NYC is heading back to the 1970s, so even though prices might be 50% lower than they were a year ago, I think I will wait a bit more. Better safe than sorry!"
And then with everyone waiting… prices go down further. So people see prices go down and they say, "Good thing I waited. But what happens if I wait even more?!" And they wait and then prices go down more.
This is called a deflationary spiral. People wait. Prices go down. Nobody really wins. Because the landlords or owners go broke. Less money gets spent on the city.
Nobody moves in so there is no motion in the markets. And people already owning in the area and can afford to hang on have to wait longer for a return of restaurants, services, etc. that they were used to.
Well, will prices go down low enough everyone buys?
Answer: Maybe. Maybe not. Some people can afford to hang on but not afford to sell. So they wait.
Other people will go bankrupt and there will be litigation, which creates other problems for real estate in the area.
And the big borrowers and lenders may need a bailout of some sort or face mass bankruptcy. Who knows what will happen?
E) COLLEGES
There are almost 600,000 college students spread out through NYC. From Columbia to NYU to Baruch, Fordham, St. John's, etc.
Will they require remote learning? Will kids be on campus? It turns out: a little bit of both. Some colleges are waiting a semester to decide, some are half and half, some are optional.
But we know this: There is uncertainty and there is hybrid. I don't know of any college fully coming back right away.
That's OK, you might say, so in a semester or two it might be fine.
Not so fast. Let's say just 100,000 of those 600,000 don't return to school and decide not to rent an apartment in New York City. That's a lot of apartments that will go empty.
That's a lot of landlords who will not be able to pay their own bills. Many bought those student apartments as a way to make a living.
So now it ripples back to the landlords, to the support staff, to the banks, to the professors, etc..
In other words, we don't know. But it's going to be a lot worse before it's better.
F) OK, OK, BUT NYC ALWAYS COMES BACK
Yes it does. I lived three blocks from Ground Zero on 9/11. Downtown, where I lived, was destroyed, but it came roaring back within two years.
Such sadness and hardship and then quickly that area became the most attractive area in New York.
And in 2008/2009, there was much suffering during the Great Recession, again much hardship, but things came roaring back.
But… this time is different. You're never supposed to say that but this time it's true. If you believe this time is no different, that NYC is resilient, I hope you're right.
I don't benefit from saying any of this. I love NYC. I was born there. I've lived there forever. I STILL live there. I love everything about NYC. I want 2019 back.
But this time is different.
One reason: Bandwidth.
In 2008, average bandwidth speeds were 3 megabits per second. That's not enough for a Zoom meeting with reliable video quality.
Now, it's over 20 megabits per second. That's more than enough for high-quality video.
There's a before and after. BEFORE: No remote work. AFTER: Everyone can work remotely.
The difference: bandwidth got faster. And that's basically it. People have left New York City and have moved completely into virtual worlds.
The Time-Life Building doesn't need to fill up again. Wall Street can now stretch across every street instead of just being one building in Manhattan.
We are officially AB: After Bandwidth. And for the entire history of NYC (the world) until now, we were BB: Before Bandwidth.
Remote learning, remote meetings, remote offices, remote performance, remote everything.
That's what is different.
Everyone has spent the past five months adapting to a new lifestyle. Nobody wants to fly across the country for a two-hour meeting when you can do it just as well on Zoom. I can go see "live comedy" on Zoom.
I can take classes from the best teachers in the world for almost free online as opposed to paying $70,000 a year for a limited number of teachers who may or may not be good.
Everyone has choices now. You can live in the music capital of Nashville, you can live in the "next Silicon Valley" of Austin.
You can live in your hometown in the middle of wherever. And you can be just as productive, make the same salary, have higher quality of life with a cheaper cost to live.
G) And what would make you come back?
There won't be business opportunities for years. Businesses move on. People move on. It will be cheaper for businesses to function more remotely and bandwidth is only getting faster.
Wait for events and conferences and even meetings and maybe even office spaces to start happening in virtual realities once everyone is spread out from midtown Manhattan to all over the country.
The quality of restaurants will start to go up in all the second- and then third-tier cities as talent and skill flow to the places that can quickly make use of them.
Ditto for cultural events.
And then people will ask,
"Wait a second, I was paying over 16% in state and city taxes and these other states and cities have little to no taxes? And I don't have to deal with all the other headaches of NYC?"
Because there are headaches in NYC. Lots of them. It's just we sweep them under the table because so much else has been good there.
NYC has a $9 billion deficit. $1 billion more than the mayor thought it was going to have.
How does a city pay back its debts? The main way is aid from the state. But the state deficit just went bonkers. Then is taxes.
But if 900,000 estimated jobs are lost in NYC and tens of thousands of businesses, then that means less taxes unless taxes are raised.
Next is tolls from the tunnels and bridges. But fewer people are commuting to work. Well, how about the city-owned colleges? Fewer people are returning to college. Well how about property taxes? More people defaulting on their properties.
What reason will people have to go back to NYC?
I love my life in NYC. I have friends all over NY. People I've known for decades. I could go out of my apartment and cross the street and there was my comedy club and I could go up onstage and perform.
I could go a few minutes by Uber and meet with anyone or go play PingPong or go to a movie or go on a podcast and people traveling through could come on my podcast.
I could go out at night to my favorite restaurants and then see my favorite performers perform.
I could go to the park and play chess, see friends. I could take advantage of all this wonderful city has to offer.
