Weve been watching the Electric Umbrella get demolished this month, starting with the removal of the restaurants canopy. Demolition has also been visible inside of the old building.

The exterior wall of the second floor of Electric Umbrella is now gone and we can see the interior railings.

Tables attached to the ground are also still visible.

On the other side of the building, theres plenty of construction happening, with a giant pile of dirt sitting in the center of what will be the World Celebration neighborhood.

From this side, we can see a stretch of exposed wood inside the building.

Some umbrellas and the restaurants name are still visible on the back wall.

Construction vehicles are present to the right, where walls have been knocked down.

This area will eventually be home toEPCOTs new Starbucks locationand a different quick-service restaurant. This will use the whole building, so the temporary MouseGear location will need to close at some point to facilitate this.

The demolition of Electric Umbrella is part of a major overhaul of EPCOT, which will split the park into four neighborhoods. However, there are rumors that the World Celebration Festival Center has been canceled.

How do you feel about the transformation of EPCOT? Let us know in the comments.

Bandanas will offer some of the same Italian dishes that made Stefanos so popular, Kutzera said. The menu will also include steaks, family favorites, desserts, a full bar and the second best wine list in the city, Kutzera said with a laugh.

It also will offer Schiavones spaghetti sauce thats sold in stores. At one time in Middletown there were three family-owned Italian restaurants, Schiavones, Capozzis and Stefanos.

Nenni said there is immense pressure opening a restaurant in the same building that housed Stefanos since 1989. Customers will have high expectations, she said.

LEBANON: Fire station to be transformed into restaurant with brewery or distillery

Station 41, the City of Lebanons long-time main fire station, would be transformed into a family-style restaurant and microbrewery or distillery, according to a deal being negotiated by city officials and a management group.

The plan calls for remodeling of the 9,200 square-foot building on nearly 0.7 acres next to the LCNB Bank building on Broadway. At one time, the bank was expected to raze the building for additional parking.

An unidentified successful restaurant operator with multiple Tri-State family-oriented restaurants, a known brand with really good food and access to capital, would operate the restaurant. The brewery or distiller has yet to be determined, according to the proposal.

FAIRFIELD: New restaurant opens after move

The Sandwich Cafe & Deli debuted in August as the newest food addition on Nilles Road in Fairfield.

The new restaurant at 690-B Nilles Road takes over a spot that used to be a computer store and is nestled between Hot Head Burrito and Miller St. Boutique.

The Sandwich Cafe & Deli previously opened in Fairfield Twp. in 2017, but the location wasnt ideal. While there was some growth, it was not sustainable, she said. The Fairfield location in the citys downtown is perfect for our kind of food as it caters to more of the lunch crowd.

The Sandwich Cafe & Deli will feature wraps, bagel sandwiches, paninis and salads, but it will specialize in atmosphere, said the single mother of four.

The next step is commencing sitewide infrastructure construction (roads, utilities, regional stormwater), Will told Community Impact Newspaper in an email.

Developers Greenbrier Southwest, in partnership with CCNG Development, first submitted plans for The Village at Spanish Oaks in 2018 that included room for shops, restaurants, office buildings, a swim club, an upscale inn and a spa as well as a range of residences.

On Aug. 17, developer submitted a final plat, which specifically breaks down how a parcel will be developed. On Sept. 22, Bee Cave City Council held a public hearing and approved the final plat.

The final plat is divided into 17 parcels that contain differing degrees of development. Ten of the parcels will contain various mixed-use combinations. A total of1,190 housing units will be spread among 12 parcels that will range in density from 30 single-family homes to 590 multifamily residential units.

Recreation amenities will include a swim club, trails and open spaces, according to the plat.

A condition of approval included the developer proving it had the ability to fund almost $9 million in required infrastructure improvements that included improvements to water and wastewater lines, a wastewater line relocation and drainage improvements.

The development is expected to be built out in seven to 10 years.

Here are some highlights from the agreement between the city of Bee Cave and developers of the 80-acre Village at Spanish Oaks:

Driving past the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind you might have seen some construction but what's going on behind the gate?

Right now there's just demolition of old buildings underway. The school is getting rid of outdated and unused buildings on its campus that are "no longer conducive to a healthy, learning environment," the school's public relations director Katie Rice said in an email to the Herald-Journal and GoUpstate.

But the demolition is making space for something new. A new classroom and dormitory space are in the school's future, Rice said, as part of a master plan created by McMillan Pazdan Smith.

Donnie Love with McMillan Pazdan Smith is heading the project but said there's no clear timeline for the construction of the new classroom and dormitory, pointing out how the school has to go through the state legislature to get funding.

"The virus has probably slowed them way down, the same it has for everybody," Love said.

More details can be found below along with information on a new Tractor Supply planned for north Boiling Springs, a new salon and barbershop that opened recently in the Montgomery Building in downtown Spartanburg and information on new restaurant openings on the west side of the county.

A Massachusetts construction workers love of black licorice wound up costing him his life. Eating a bag and a half every day for a few weeks threw his nutrients out of whack and caused the 54-year-old mans heart to stop, doctors reported Wednesday.

Even a small amount of licorice you eat can increase your blood pressure a little bit, said Dr. Neel Butala, a cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital who described the case in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The problem is glycyrrhizic acid, found in black licorice and in many other foods and dietary supplements containing licorice root extract. It can cause dangerously low potassium and imbalances in other minerals called electrolytes.

Eating as little as 2 ounces of black licorice a day for two weeks could cause a heart rhythm problem, especially for folks over 40, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns.

Its more than licorice sticks. It could be jelly beans, licorice teas, a lot of things over the counter. Even some beers, like Belgian beers, have this compound in it, as do some chewing tobaccos, said Dr. Robert Eckel, a University of Colorado cardiologist and former American Heart Association president. He had no role in the Massachusetts mans care.

The death was clearly an extreme case. The man had switched from red, fruit-flavored twists to the black licorice version of the candy a few weeks before his death last year. He collapsed while having lunch at a fast-food restaurant. Doctors found he had dangerously low potassium, which led to heart rhythm and other problems. Emergency responders did CPR and he revived but died the next day.

The FDA permits up to 3.1 percent of a foods content to have glycyrrhizic acid, but many candies and other licorice products dont reveal how much of it is contained per ounce, Butala said. Doctors have reported the case to the FDA in hope of raising attention to the risk.

Jeff Beckman, a spokesman for the Hershey Company, which makes the popular Twizzlers licorice twists, said in an email that all of our products are safe to eat and formulated in full compliance with FDA regulations, and that all foods, including candy, should be enjoyed in moderation.

Massachusetts construction worker dies from eating too much black licorice - Press Herald

The developer of the proposed Clocktower Inn of Powell says he remains committed to bringing the project to fruition, but construction has been postponed indefinitely amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The hotel and convention center was originally supposed to break ground in 2019 and, pre-pandemic, was set for a groundbreaking in August or September. But as Powell enters the fall, the site in the Gateway West business park remains empty and undeveloped.

Were sort of in a wait and see, said Billings hotelier Steve Wahrlich, who is spearheading the development.

We are still anxious to do the project, Wahrlich added in a Thursday interview, but Im not going to do it without knowing were going to have business through and through.

According to the American Hotel and Lodging Association, a hospitality lobbying organization, 67% of hotels report theyre not going to be able to survive more than six more months at current occupancy rates, and half are under threat of foreclosure due to the pandemic.

Obviously the world has changed since COVID, to say the least, Wahrlich said.

He added that, if the project would have been on schedule and currently operational, it would have been as severely strained as other lodging establishments.

The State of Wyoming has appropriated $2.62 million in support of the approximately $10 million Clocktower Inn project, which is a private-public partnership between the City of Powell and Wahrlich. Under the terms of the grant agreement, the city would own a conference center attached to a 75-room hotel, which would be owned and operated by Wahrlich.

The Powell Economic Partnership was involved in helping Wahrlich secure funding from the state and remains an advocate for the project. Rebekah Burns, PEP executive director, said support for the project has not waivered from any of the project stakeholders.

Wahrlich is committed to the Clocktower Inn of Powell. The City of Powell is committed to the project. The investors are committed, and PEP is committed. The Wyoming Business Council is patient and supportive, Burns said.

Burns said the project is paramount for Powells growth and prosperity and would provide a ripple effect for our retailers, restaurants and attractions.

The state funding, awarded in 2018, is not tied to any deadlines meaning the project could theoretically be delayed indefinitely and not lose the state funding.

We dont have hard and fast rules for timelines, said Amy Quick, northwest regional director for the Wyoming Business Council (WBC), which made the $2.6 million grant.

Quick said these kinds of projects require flexibility in timing. The WBC could pull the funding if there was some indication that the project was being abandoned, but Quick said Wahrlich remains committed.

Since the funding was obligated in the states previous biennium, it remains untouched by the current cuts sweeping through state budgets in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis.

They are, in our mind, funds that are already spent, Quick said.

The facilitys liquor license, however, could potentially be in jeopardy.

Councilors awarded the citys final retail liquor license to the Clocktower Inn of Powell in December 2018 after Wahrlich said the license was needed to help make the project viable. Owners of the Lovell-based gym Club Dauntless had also applied for the license for a planned golf simulator and sports bar, which was to be built next to a gym. In a split, 4-2 vote, the council decided to grant the license to the Clocktower Inn, over concerns that denying the license would jeopardize the project; Club Dauntless went on to open a standalone gym in December.

In November, Wahrlich asked the council to renew the Clocktower Inns unused license and councilors agreed to do so. At the hearing, Wahrlich said the project was delayed as a result of him having to buy a restaurant associated with his Clocktower Inn in Billings, after the previous restaurant owners retired. At a February PEP meeting, Wahrlich said a general contractor had been selected for the project and theyd be breaking ground this summer, but the COVID-19 pandemic followed weeks later.

City Clerk Tiffany Brando said the Wyoming Liquor Division has said they would prefer the city not renew the Clocktower Inns license so Powell doesnt have non-operational licenses for extended periods. That would make the liquor license available to any eligible business that applies. State law allows the council to renew the license due to extraordinary circumstances meaning the council has the option to extend it. However, Wahrlich said Thursday that he planned to meet with Club Dauntless and indicated he might not pursue another extension.

Being a good steward of the community, I dont want to hold things up, Wahrlich said.

Hes considering the possibility that, with establishments closing due to the pandemic and the hotel on hold, he can wait for another license to become available.

The Powell City Council is set to consider the renewal of all of the citys liquor licenses at its Nov. 16 meeting.

New hotel and convention center put on hold amid pandemic - Powell Tribune

The coronavirus pandemic has forced millions of the worlds poorest children to halt their educations and go to work to help support their families, as schools have closed and parents incomes have fallen or vanished.

The children do work that is arduous, dirty and often dangerous: hauling bricks or gravel, scavenging for recyclables, begging or chopping weeds on plantations. Much of their employment is illegal.

It is a catastrophic shift for some of the worlds most vulnerable people, undoing years of gains for education and against child labor, and undermining their prospects of climbing out of poverty. Countless promising students have had their educations cut short, and it remains unclear when schools will reopen. But even when they do, many of the children are unlikely to go back to the classroom.

Here are some key findings of a New York Times report on conditions for these poor children.

Former pupils have been forced into heavy manual labor on construction or demolition sites, picking through garbage, doing sex work, mining for sand or working in factories making cigarettes or fireworks.

The jobs carry risks of injury, or worse, and the hazards are especially acute for children more so when they lack protective equipment, or even shoes. In the Indian city of Tumakuru, an 11-year-old boy, Rahul, set out barefoot with his father on a recent morning to scavenge for recyclables at a waste dump.

India has the worlds largest school-age population and the fastest-growing number of coronavirus cases. The countrys laws prohibit anyone under 14 from working in most circumstances, but its poverty means that it had a large market in illegal child labor even before the pandemic.

With the problem growing and the government disrupted by the virus, enforcement is even less able to keep up.

The rise in child labor also compounds other threats to children resulting from the global recession. Hunger now threatens far more people in many parts of the world than it did a year ago. There have also been increases in forced marriages, teenage pregnancy and child trafficking.

Millions of children are unlikely to return to school.

The longer children stay out of school, and the more desperate their family circumstances, the less likely they are to go back. The United Nations estimates that 24 million children have dropped out for good because of the pandemic.

With school closings around the world affecting well over one billion children, many of them can continue to learn online or at home. But hundreds of millions come from the poorest families, with no access to computers, the internet or tutors.

It grows harder to return to school as the children age and their families become dependent on their earnings and no one knows yet if that dependence will last for months or years.

I fear that even if school reopens, I will have to keep doing this, because of the familys debt, said Mumtaz, a 12-year-old boy in Bihar State in India, who now works carrying heavy loads of gravel.

Reluctant parents say the only alternative to putting their children to work is for the families to go hungry.

With hundreds of millions of people worldwide out of work, the law of supply and demand makes for some cruel math. Struggling businesses take advantage of the glut of labor, driving down wages for those who still have jobs.

As families grow poorer, children enter the work force, magnifying the labor surplus. And unscrupulous employers flout labor laws, hiring children who often work for pennies.

A labor contractor in West Bengal in India said parents had asked him to find work for children as young as 8, who looked like they were being prepared to be thrown into a fire.

Around the world, poverty had been declining for decades, particularly in Asia, allowing more and more children to remain in school. The pandemic has reversed those trends.

Many of the students forced from the classroom and into work were doing well academically, fueling dreams of better futures. Those dreams are now in peril.

Rahul, the 11-year-old boy in Tumakuru, wants to be a doctor, and his teacher says he is bright enough to attain that goal. But the longer he is out of school, the more remote it becomes.

The focus in India and many other countries has been on reopening businesses to restart the economy, but childrens advocates say it is shortsighted to open bars, restaurants and transit systems while keeping schools closed.

The Glass Fire erupted on September 27 and has moved rapidly across northern Napa Valley, burning structures at some of the regions most celebrated wineries. The Chronicles wine critic Esther Mobley is on the ground and talking to locals this week to track how vineyards and wineries have fared. Already, destruction to the local wine industry far exceeds that of the 2017 fires, when six wineries saw structures damaged or destroyed.

Heres a list of the wineries that have been confirmed to have sustained damage so far. Well be updating the list as we learn more. There are also wineries rumored to be destroyed but are OK, including Chardonnay favorite Rombauer Vineyards. See which ones survived here.

Behrens Family Winery: This boutique winery on Spring Mountain lost two buildings, including its main winery that burned to the ground. Others, like the tasting room, are OK.

Burgess Cellars: The barrel warehouse and the original winery built in the 1880s have both burned, confirms CEO Carlton McCoy. The tasting room and house remain intact.

Castello di Amorosa: A farmhouse at this favorite tourist destination was lost. It contained all of the companys wine inventory, said vice president Jim Sullivan, though the castle itself an ambitious construction modeled on a medieval castle survived.

Chateau Boswell: The main building, built from hand-quarried stone, was destroyed late Sunday night. Only the stone facade remains; a collection of wines dating back to 1979 was destroyed.

Fairwinds Estate Winery: Buildings appear to have been leveled, but the winery owner did not respond to requests for comment.

Hourglass Winery: The winery facility and a 162-year-old guest house were demolished, owner Jeff Smith said. An underground cave containing barrels of aging wine likely survived.

Hunnicutt Wines: A house on the property used for offices and the winerys crushpad, which includes much of its winemaking equipment, were devastated, though the winery building itself is OK, said owner Justin Stephens.

Newton Vineyard: This winery, owned by luxury conglomerate Mot Hennessy Louis Vuitton, has been significantly impacted by the Glass Fire, confirmed general manager Jean-Baptiste Rivail.

Sherwin Family Vineyards: This Spring Mountain winery, which Steve and Linda Sherwin started in 1996, has burned, according to an email from the company.

Spring Mountain Vineyard: The vineyard managers home on the property was destroyed, and the vineyard itself experienced serious damage, confirms vice president of sales and marketing Dermot Whelan. Two other buildings, including an 1873 La Perla winery, were also lost. But the main winery and the historic Miravelle Mansion in part known for its appearance on 80s drama Falcon Crest were spared.

Sterling Vineyards: The main winery appeared safe, but Chronicle photographs show that equipment on the outdoor crushpad was charred, and another building may have sustained some damage.

Tofanelli Vineyards: A 120-year-old barn and a family home, which was not currently occupied by residents, burned.
