Known as one of the most popular and favorite places to eat in town, and arguably throughout the state of Wyo. for that matter, The Pizza Place is preparing, day by day to re-open its doors. A fiery blaze claimed the restaurant back in Oct. of 2013. Owner, Brad Wagner, reports that the new architect plans have been approved earlier this month. Wagners brother, Brent, of Wagner Architecture, designed the new eaterys layout. The process has been slow, and even slower for those wanting a delicious homemade pizza pie, but rest assured, it is coming along. I hope to open by the end of Feb., Wagner said. There will be some new seating added, along with a covered patio. The Pizza Place has had many patrons walk through their doors including U.S. Senator Mike Enzi. It has been ranked in the 50 states 50 pizzas on the website ZAGAT and also featured on USA TODAYs 51 great pizza parlors. Some of the locals would have to agree, Its the best pizza anywhere around!! Ive never heard of anyone who didnt like it, said Tricia Miller. Kresta Leimser of Lusk also added, Sometimes you know, you get tired of cooking, and its somewhere good where we can take Hudson [our son]. Erin Hodge, also of Lusk, likes to take her family there as well. We love the pizza. As the saying goes, all good things come to those who wait, and lots of people are waiting for The Pizza Place to re open its doors.

Pizza Place closer to re-opening its doors

An alleged rogue trader appeared in court accused of conning customers out of thousands of pounds for jobs around their homes that were never carried out.

Andy Evans was in the dock at Wirral magistrates court today, where he faced a string of fraud charges in a prosecution brought by Wirral council.

The 48-year-old, of Grainger Avenue, West Kirby, is accused of giving quotes for works such as fitting windows and doors taking cash for the jobs, but then failing to do them or return the money.

In total he is charged with fraudulently taking 5,245 from five alleged victims across West Wirral and North Wales last year.

Alongside eight counts of fraud by false representation, he is also charged with seven counts of dishonestly failing to disclose a notice of cancellation rights. Evans had already pleaded not guilty to six of the charges, relating to works at three addresses he allegedly took cash for and failed to carry out between April and July last year.

They included 650 to supply and fit doors and windows at an address on Irbyside Road, Greasby, a deposit of 320 to buy patio doors and frosted windows for a job on Queens Avenue, Meols, and a deposit of 850 to supply and fit windows and doors on Broadway, Greasby.

Today he pleaded not guilty to a further nine charges.

Six involve an alleged victim on Mill Road, Thingwall, who Evans is accused of taking 1,850 from for three jobs that were never carried out fitting a new door, painting damp course and roof coating.

The others relate to an address on Maplewood Avenue, Deeside in North Wales, where Evans is charged with taking 1,325 to buy a canopy and 250 for guttering which was never fitted.

The case was adjourned until December 17 when a trial date will be set. Evans was bailed on the condition he has no contact with several named witnesses.

Three men involved in burgling nearly 60 homes across three counties - including Cambridgeshire - havebeen jailed.

The trio used homemade tools to smash open windows and patio doors whichwould normally be considered resistant to attack.

Yesterday (Friday) Ipswich Crown Court heard how police were able to link 15 of theraids at addresses in Suffolk through distinctive footprints from trainers left atthe scene and the way the homes had been broken into.

The burglars also helped police link them to the scene of some of their crimes bytaking photos of each other on mobile phones.

Prosecutor Shauna Ritche said other raids in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire broughtthe value of goods stolen to 125,000.

Among the properties targeted were homes in Redshank Close and Jay Close inHaverhill.

As well as jewellery, cameras and computer equipment the gang took householditems including duvets, kitchen utensils and food was stolen.

Miss Ritchie said: "A number of those who reported crimes found themselves perplexedby the items stolen."

Miss Richie said that some of the jewellery was of great sentimental value and had beenhanded down from generation to generation.

For those unfamiliar with Carranza's checkered history, that might seem like good news. The Patio is a charming neighborhood theater and, even needing new seats and balcony repairs, its main auditorium is arguably even more attractive than the Music Box. A noble attempt by Kouvalis to reopen the theater in 2011, after ten years of dormancy, ended last April. The venue simply wasn't making enough money to pay for needed repairs to its heating and air conditioning systems.

Despite overly harsh criticism from Ald. Tim Cullerton that Kouvalis didn't do enough to save the theater, the Patio accomplished some impressive things in his short tenure. There was a successful Kickstarter campaign to upgrade to expensive, industry-mandated DCP projection capabilities (something Facets Multimedia's Cinematheque, the local venue that most desperately needs the changeover, has yet to do). And when second-run showings of Hollywood fare weren't profitable, Kouvalis took a chance on an adventurous programming venture with the Chicago Cinema Society. It didn't work and it was probably the wrong strategy for the blue-collar neighborhood, but Kouvalis deserves credit for trying the road less traveled.

If Kouvalis was well intentioned but not business savvy, Carranza has come across a combative bottom-liner. His operation of the now-closed Congress Theater was plagued by controversy and his early handling of the Portage Theater after buying it was a disaster. Since Carranza turned over management duties to his crony Charlie Burns, the Portage has done a better job on the PR front, but questionable practices (including Burns misinforming this writer about the theater's DCP capabilities) remain common.

The Patio has DCP-ready projection, which not only allows for newer DCP releases, but also can make Blu-ray projections look close to theatrical-worthy in quality. This, along with 35mm and 16mm projectors, gives the theater lots of programming flexibility, but it remains unclear how they will use it. So far, the schedule consists of some revivals, but also several documentaries that already played quite recently at the Portage (Mistaken for Strangers, Take Me to the River, Pay 2 Play), suggesting this initial schedule was hastily put together.

To be fair to Carranza, Kouvalis or anyone who tries to make a go of it running an independent movie theaterand especially an older one in physical declineit is a near-impossible endeavor. The mainstream movie industry has for decades seemed intent on killing off the theatrical market that was once its bread and butter. DVD releases right on the heels of theatrical windows put second-run theaters on the endangered species list. Then, the rush to go digital put many small theaters out of business or deeply in debt. Now, with video-on-demand the preferred platform for lower-budgeted films, it's an even greater challenge for an independent to counter-program against the multiplex chains.

A few years back, Music Box Theatre owner William Schopf told the Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips that the crown jewel of the city's repertory movie scene was his "tax write-off," supported mainly by his law career, building investments, and the welcome and surprising success of his movie distribution company, Music Box Films. If a well-maintained, smartly programmed and generally beloved institution like the Music Box needs such outside economic power behind it, one can only imagine what neighborhood theaters without deep pockets are up against.

Ultimately, the global and relentless push of all entertainment to at-home and mobile technology has made operating a movie theater of any kind a gamble with terrible odds. The cost-effective appeal of streaming services and video-on-demand has taken a toll not only on theaters, but on the way the public values cinema. Movies are available faster, cheaper and without much effort, which is making them much less special for generations growing up with that delivery as their standard.

Independent theaters, whether they are specialized repertory programmers or "Mom and Pop" second-run houses, require a devoted patronage that is vanishing quickly. This limits the possibilities for passionate movie missionaries and opens the door for opportunists like Carranza.

The best, last chance for a neighborhood theater like the Patio or Portage to survive in any worthy form may be a patron who can afford to take a financial loss in favor of a cultural gain. Quentin Tarantino keeps the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles open as his personal cinematic playpen and local movie buffs benefit.

Calling all Mr. or Ms. Moneybags out there who care about cinema (Mr. Scorsese? Mr. Spielberg?): we have some theaters that need your well-funded love.

Patio Theater To Reopen, But Is There A Future For Neighborhood Theaters?

Grand Forks Police say they may be close to an arrest in connection with a string of home burglaries last week. Half a dozen homes at locations all over town had electronic items stolen. We have more on this case, and what you need to know to keep your property safe this holiday season.

Police say during the latest string of burglaries, the suspect was breaking sliding glass patio doors to gain access to homes. Police say that you and your neighbors need to immediately report suspicious activity in your neighborhood.

Lt. Jim Remer, Grand Forks Police: They should probably mark their property, so they can identify it later. Write down the serial number, take a photograph of the serial number. Most of the things on this one have been electronics.

Plus, there's another factor working in favor of would be thieves during the holiday season if you don't lockup.

It gets darker much earlier now. That gives the bad guys more cover of night to walk into garages where doors are left open and into homes, where doors are left unlocked.

Plus, it's cold outside. Many of us warm up our cars. If you don't keep them locked you may find your vehicle or property inside it gone.

Lt. Jim Remer, Grand Forks Police: Somebody might jump in and take the car. Again, with property inside vehicles, try to cover it up. Place it in the trunk. So it's not visible from the outside. People use that as a crime of opportunity to break a window and grab something.

just a few quick, easy tips that could save you a lot of frustration this holiday season.

If you have any information about the recent string of burglaries you're asked to call police at: 701-787-8000. You can even text a tip to Tipster with the information and send to: 84741.

Bi-fold patio doors, which have become increasingly popular in recent years, are a fantastic way of blending your outdoor and indoor space. We take a look at what to consider before having them installed.

If youre choosing bi-fold doors, you need to choose big.

Unlike French windows and sliding patio doors, bi-fold doors consist of three or more doors that fold back on themselves and sit flat against one or both walls, depending if they open in the middle or at the side.

Theres no way around it, they look at their most spectacular spanning a whole wall, or even walls, and when the weathers nice, you can fold them back to open up the most stunning entertaining space.

The cost of the doors will vary, depending on the size of the opening, whether the doors are a standard size or made to measure, and what theyre made of (typically wood, UPVC or aluminium). Companies that make bespoke bi-fold doors often install them and provide a guarantee, giving you convenience and peace of mind.
