States with bottle bills have a higher container-recycling rate . ..,.. Because the material is collected separately from other materials (especially other plastics), the material tends to be less contaminated and thus is of a higher quality than material collected curbside . ..,..

Ryan, Public Services Director {;M .¥ DATE: November 1, 2013 SUBJECT: Application for a new Class B, Beer and Wine License for the use of Fishnet Restaurant, LLC, t/a Fishnet, 5008-10 Berwyn Road, College Park ISSUE An application for a new Class B, Beer and Wine Alcoholic Beverage License has been submitted to the BOLC by Ferhat N. Yalcin, Owner, and Keyia N. Yalcin, Owner, for the use of Fishnet Restaurant, LLC, t/a Fishnet, 5008-10 Berwyn Road, College Park, 20740. A draft Property Use Agreement (PUA) has been prepared for Council consideration. The business owner has advised the City that he wishes the liquor license to include a coffee shop adjacent to the restaurant. The BOLC hearing is scheduled for November 26,2013. SUMMARY The City Attorney and Director of Public Services met with the applicant again this week. In response to the applicant's wishes to open a future coffee shop in the storefront adjacent to the Fishnet restaurant, a revised draft PUA was discussed and is attached. The applicant was advised that the BOLC is the authority to decide if the coffee shop may be included on the license and any applicable conditions. The City PUA, however, is drafted to include the coffee shop pending BOLC approval. During discussion, a new alcohol to food ratio of 30/70% was determined to be acceptable to the applicant. Customer identification was discussed. The applicant offered to use a scanning device to inspect the forms of ID approved by the BOLC. The applicant does not propose to charge a cover charge. The applicant plans to serve alcoholic beverages in the adjacent coffee shop when it opens in 2014, in an outdoor garden area behind the restaurant, and at sidewalk tables in front, if allowed by the BOLC. The applicant will not serve beer in pitchers. The applicant will apply for an exception to a BOLC entertainment license if they plan to have acoustic entertainment in the future. Security is provided by a system of six cameras and a remotely monitored alarm system. The applicant will attend the Council worksession on November 6, 2013 to discuss the draft PUA. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends consideration of the draft PU A. After discussion of the PU A and any desired changes with the applicant, the Council should decide to oppose or not oppose approval of the license by the BOLC. Staff should be authorized to testify to the Council's position at the BOLC hearing on November 26, 2013.

  • Christ College Alumni Compendium
    CHRIST COLLEGE LIVES: FAITH AND WORK, LOVE AND LIFE FREDRICK BARTON ‘70, EDITOR CHAIR, CHRIST COLLEGE NATIONAL COUNCIL Christ College Lives: Faith and Work, Love and Life Introductory Remarks: CC Homecoming Celebration Saturday, September 30, 2017, 5:30 pm Fredrick Barton ‘70 I find it fitting to be stepping in front of this audience after being introduced by Dean Margaret Franson. It was she, after all, who assigned me the task of standing here at this moment. And that is fitting, too, because, as everyone who graduated from Christ College since 1991 knows first hand, Dean Franson is the engine that pulls the C.C. train. Our esteemed deans may have provided the broad vision, but Margaret Franson supervised the details. And this Golden Anniversary celebration of our founding, like so much about Christ College, has been a Margaret Franson project. I stand here now as one of her details. I frankly don’t recall whose idea it was as part of our anniversary celebration to solicit short biographies from our alumni. But once the idea was agreed to, Margaret volunteered me to edit the submissions into a compendium, which I hope you have had the chance to peruse or will take the chance to read through once the final edition is available. My own reading of these biographies has proven an exquisite pleasure. We C.C. alums have been up to some stuff the last half century, and our compendium is a forthright indication of outstanding individual achievement indicative of amazing programmatic success. I am incredibly pleased to have my own biography nestled among all of these others.

  • Dear Sweet Briar Alumnae and Friends, As We Were Putting the Finishing Touches on This Magazine, the Unthinkable Happened: a Global COVID-19 Pandemic
    Dear Sweet Briar alumnae and friends, As we were putting the finishing touches on this magazine, the unthinkable happened: a global COVID-19 pandemic. As you know, we had to make the difficult decision to spend the rest of the semester engaging in remote teaching and learning and postpone graduation and Reunion. I’m sure you share my sadness that we won’t be celebrating the spring traditions that define life at Sweet Briar. The campus is so beautiful, with everything is bursting into bloom. The colors and the light are glorious. But it’s too quiet! I miss our students very much. But let me assure you: “There is nothing you cannot do” applies to this crisis, too. We have been tested before, and it’s only made us stronger. We are determined to prevail, because we believe that Sweet Briar graduates are exactly what the nation and world are going to need in the coming years: women leaders committed to a more sustainable world. Clearly, our mission is striking a chord, because more and more people are investing in our future. March Days of Giving resulted in more than $1.8 million in gifts to the college. Thanks to generous donors, our core curriculum is ramping up, and our beloved stables will soon be undergoing a complete renovation (more on pages 39). Our agriculture initiative, also fueled by philanthropy, continues to build momentum-- even in the face of COVID-19. You’re going to see enormous progress the next time you’re on campus. Everything we’re doing—from vineyards to greenhouses—is going to be a tremendous asset for campus life, and an economic lifeline for Amherst County.
