A New Rail Line for Salvador

By Leonel Menendez

(14 November)—The government of the state of Bahia has finally arrived at a decision about who will take charge of the railway project between Salvador and Paripe. — [1] — After an unexpectedly long selection process, the Secretariat for Urban Development announced last week that a proposal had finally been selected.

A joint venture between SOA International and ROOV Project Management was chosen to receive the contract. — [2] —. The Secretariat had insisted that a Brazilian firm be included in the contract. SOA International has long been involved in rail projects throughout

Brazil, Spain, and the Middle East. The Swiss company, ROOV Project

Management, was recently selected as Project Management Company of the Year by the International Project Management Institute. — [3] —.

           The line will be constructed in two phases. The first phase will make use of an existing rail line that runs from Salvador to Plataforma, but the track will be replaced ta accommodate the light-rail cars that SOA will build. The second phase will continue with the construction of a new track from Plataforma to Paripe. The long delay in settling on a vendor has caused the

Secretariat to offer incentives for the project to be completed in 30 months. — [4] —. However, Spokesperson David Rios of ROOV has said that 36 months would be the minimum reasonable time to complete the project because of unpredictable weather, labor, and supplies.

Thread>Order not received

Posted on 15 May 11:49 AM by Frederick Wambu

Two weeks ago I ordered a shipment of books through dealdirect.co.ke. I did not receive the shipment, which was scheduled for 20 April. I called the shipping company, and the representative said that she has a record of someone accepting the package, but the signature is not legible. I called Deal Direct to make sure that the address they have on file for me is correct, and it was. I’m trying to figure out what my next step should be. I’m open to your Ideas. So far, I've put up notices in my apartment building, but no one has responded. I wonder if I should just forget about it and reorder books from a different company or spend more time trying to resolve the matter.

Ashby Logo Gets a New Look

(30 July)—A new logo tor the city of Ashby was unveiled by Mayor Charles Cavanaugh on Tuesday. The logo and its accompanying slogan, “Ashby Connects,” will be put to official use immediately. — [1] —.

The new design uses elements from Ashby’s original logo, including the red banner and the year of the city’s founding. — [2] —. But an image of the city’s skyline in silhouette gives the new design a more contemporary feel. The slogan communicates Ashby’s focus on creating community connections. — [3] —.

While Mayor Cavanaugh insists that the new logo is popular, not everyone is happy. “Why all the fuss?’ asked lifelong resident Noelle Davidson. “The old logo was very recognizable, I don’t know why they went to the trouble of replacing it.” — [4] —.

Re: Contract

Dear Mr. Gillis,

Thank you for sending me your signed contract. It was good to meet with you last week and to hear about your vision for the woodworking business you hope to create.

Based on the features you want your woodshop to have, I have some solid ideas with which to move forward. From our conversation, I also understand that you have some cost concerns. I will certainly be conscious of this when working on the design plans and will be sure to use materials that are both structurally sound and economical. You can expect some preliminary sketches within the next two weeks. Once you have looked them over, let’s set a time to meet again, at which point any adjustments can be made and finalized.

I have already noted where your large pieces of machinery will be located. However, please let me know if you change your mind about anything, as I will need to figure out where the high-powered electrical cutlets should be installed. For the purpose of safety, I am required to ensure that all large pieces of equipment such as table saws have their own dedicated circuits.

I am looking forward to collaborating with you to turn your ideas into reality.

Best regards,

Pete Barth

Good morning, everyone. I would like an update on the grand opening at the Carter Street Mall.

Pamela Cooke [8: 31 A.M]

The Red Moon Restaurant was popular.

Luke Orlan [8:32 A.M.]

Please send me that data once you have it, Anything else I need to know?

Alena | Santiago [8:33 A.M]

Well, there were some issues with the parking area during the grand opening. The lighting did not work right. It didn’t function as it should have when it got dark.

Luke Orlan [8:34 A.M]

Oh?

Alena Santiago [8:34 A.M]

We discovered that a timer was not set correctly.

Luke Orlan [8:35 A.M]

I’m glad that was easily resolved. What about maintenance in general?

Marcus Afolayan [8:35 A.M]

We want to make sure that management works closely with the Maintenance Department. We have staff on-site for routine housekeeping, and we have outside contractors taking care of the landscaping and maintenance Of the escalators.

Luke Orlan [8:36 A.M.]

Everything seems to be running smoothly. Let’s continue these online meetings weekly. I hope, to travel there in February to see everything firsthand. Thanks

The Centerville Ties, pane 1, “Music on the Water”

The magical melody of a violin wafts into downtown Centerville, The sound of a cello joins in. Curious tourists look around, trying to figure out the source of the music. They gradually realize that members of an orchestra are in plain sight, seated on a boat docked in the Centerville harbor.

“Music on the Water” began 30 years ago when Brigitta Carlson had an old cargo boat renovated and then performed the first musical performance from the boat’s deck. ‘Today, “Music on the Water,” a chamber orchestra, offers weekend performances on the original boat in the same harbor location.

The musicians are currently led by Maestro Arthur Silverman, an acclaimed violinist, who plays in the performances each week. “We have expanded our schedule to offer a record number of concerts—over 50 each year,” explains Maestro Silverman. “Certain programs arc now tailored to specific audiences, like young listeners.”

“Music on the Water” performs on many Friday and Saturday evenings at 6:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased online at wwwanusiconthewatet.org, Family concerts are scheduled on Sundays at 2:00 2M. No tickets are needed for family concerts, but patrons are encouraged to arrive early to ensure seats are available.

http:/Avww.thecentervilletimes.com/musiconthewater/comments

I have enjoyed “Music on the Water” ever since I was a child. In fact, I will never forget listening to the founder’s very first performance, with the melody of her flute floating up to my family’s third-floor apartment facing the harbor. When I was a little older, I used to save my coins so that I could purchase my own ticket to a concert on the boat. “Music on the Water” has had a wonderful impact on the harbor area. I wonder if The Centerville Times would consider publishing a piece on the history of this neighborhood, which I am still proud to call home.

Thank you,

Roberto Padilla

Advertising with Mix 92 Radio

Marilyn Nguyen, 13 August

Has anyone advertised with Mix 92 Radio?

James Defort, 15 August

I have had advertisements running on Mix 92 Radio since last March. It has proved to be a smart choice: in recent months I have seen a significant increase in the number of customers visiting my business, Defort Automotive. Many tell me it was the radio advertisement that brought them in.

When I signed a contract with the station, there was a problem with some unexpected charges. However, Ms. Jager from the advertising department brought my concerns to her supervisor, and the matler was quickly resolved. Ms. Jager even checked back with me a week later to ensure I was pleased with the outcome.

Olinawe is a Fusion of Flavours

DONCASTER (21 March)—Atter many years of hard work, chef Amina Ikegami is opening her own restaurant in downtown Doncaster.

             Ms. Ikegami trained at Chesterfield

Culinary Academy and worked as a junior sous chef at the Sisra Bistro for three years.

She spent the last twelve years on staff at

Delmourel’s, where she held the title of executive chef for the past four years.

           Ms. Ikegami has won several awards, including the UK Innovative Chef Award.

Although she is sad to leave Delmourel’s, she is thrilled to fulfill her longtime dream of owning her own restaurant.

Ms. Ikcgami’s new restaurant, Olinawe, features a menu influenced by the many varied flavours of her childhood. She was raised in England in a family with French, Senegalese, and Japanese heritage. Being exposed to so many different food traditions is what inspired her to become a chef.

           “My mother and father are great cooks themselves,” says Ms. Ikegami. “I loved having all these cuisines in one house, and always strive to bring that fusion of cultures into my cooking.”

           Olinawe opens officially on 25 April and will serve lunch and dinner Tuesdays through Sundays.

Dear Amina.

J just heard about Olinawe, and I received your invitation to the celebratory event. This is such wonderful news! At school, I remember that you often talked about opening your own restaurant, and I am thrilled that it is finally happening!

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this event. I will be in France that weekend teaching a class on making pastries. But once I am back, I will definitely be coming by for dinner.

All the best,
