The country house style hotel has been designed to emulate the Paris Country Club's traditional Normandy architecture with its timber and thatch frame. This is complemented by the Feng Shui inspired interior design by renowned French designer, Jean-Philippe Nuel who has created uncluttered, open spaces that are welcoming and inviting. The colour palette features natural cream and beige tones which complement the modern lighting, while the specially commissioned equestrian themed artwork and leather furnishings reflect the countryside surroundings.

Classic French dishes can be enjoyed at the hotel restaurant, 'H' - named in honour of the nearby hippodrome. Split into two different sections, guests can choose from a more formal dining experience or a relaxed, laid back ambience with comfortable seating and low tables. Signature dishes include lobster ravioli with vegetable minestrone and lobster salad with potatoes from the French island of Noirmoutier.

For meeting and events, the hotel offers six meeting spaces across 540 square metres, all with natural light and state-of-the-art technology.

Monday morning Hanover Countys $10 million stand-alone emergency room opened its doors to patients with minor and major injuries, giving them one more opportunity to get the care they need.

We saw this as an opportunity here, said Lee Van Sise, director of the Hanover Emergency Center. We recognized a need here for additional emergency resources and I think well be able to fill a void for the community.

Doors to HCAs Hanover Emergency Center opened Monday in Rutland.

The 22,000 square-foot facility, which was built in just over a year, contains 12 private patient rooms for adults and a specialized pediatrics room decorated with children in mind.

What we have found is that a room that has a different appearance is obviously a little more calming for the patient and maybe could be used for some distraction for some of the other things that the doctors and nurses need to do, Van Sise said. And operationally, for us, having the appropriate supplies and equipment in that room for a child versus an adult is beneficial.

It is the second facility of its kind in metro-Richmond from HCA Virginia and is open 24/7. The other location is in Goochland County, which Van Sise said has stayed busy since it opened roughly two years ago.

We put our arm out that way and now were putting our arm out this way, Van Sise said.

Van Sise said the location of this emergency center is on Chamberlayne Road near the Rutland neighborhood helps because of the nearby bustling development. He added that the surroundings and the development will more than likely increase the volume at the Hanover emergency room.

But Van Sise said that he and his staff plan to keep wait times low.

In preparation for the 150th Anniversary of Arlington National Cemetery, contracting professionals at the Mission and Installation Contracting Command, Fort Belvoir, Va., became heavily involved with much needed updates to the ANC Memorial Amphitheater Display Room.

Since being built in 1920, the Amphitheater's Display Room received its only update in 1975. The room houses exhibits and a collection of gifts presented throughout the years to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

"With the surge of historical interest in ANC because of the 150th, this space was identified as one that needed updating that included the context of historical exhibits," said Dr. Stephen Carney, Arlington National Cemetery historian. ANC was established June 15, 1864.

Carney felt the public, the president, and other VIPs were seeing a space in desperate need of repair and updating.

"As a national shrine we had to show we were taking appropriate care of items of historical significance, which include flags and Medals of Honor for each of our unknown entombed at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier," Carney said. "The contracts that were awarded met the requirements for sufficient updating. The space is now a safe environment for those artifacts because of the contract support from MICC-Fort Belvoir."

The display room has been used as the VIP entrance and holding area for major ceremonies and events at the Memorial Amphitheater since 1920. Presidents, heads of states, senior domestic and foreign military and civilian leaders frequent the room. In addition, a large number of the cemetery's 3.5 million-plus visitors annually walk through the space either before or after they watch a changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

"This Memorial Day, the updated display room was the first room the president of the United States, the secretary of Defense, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff entered after laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown. How cool is that? Contracting professionals involved with the project should be extremely proud of what they accomplished," said Maj. Justin Schaeffer, a 7-year contracting veteran and leader of the ANC contract support element.

The process to update the display room for the anniversary began in September 2013 when ANC officials identified three requirements in order to improve the room. With subsequent ANC leadership approval and budgeting in October, the on-site contract support element began its work with the customer.

The activity identified its requirements early, conducted market research with local small business vendors and submitted the requirements package in a timely manner to MICC-Fort Belvoir. The requiring activity immediately identified and nominated its contracting officer representative, trained by the on-site MICC Quality Assurance Representative Kathy Manokey, who Schaffer said, was extremely responsive during the review phase of the requirements package.

During the performance of the contract, the customer's contracting officer representative was constantly on-site using all resources necessary to ensure the contractor was meeting specifications of the awarded contract.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) June 11, 2014

PortablePartitions.com, by Versare, has announced that several of their popular room dividers, privacy screens, and portable partitions are now custom-designable, offering customers an option to create or upload a design, logo, or image to be printed across the divider of their choice. The in-browser design lab allows single or double-sided partition printing, in addition to a variety of design options, such as color, font style, clipart, or image uploading.

The design lab feature can be found on a selection of customizable room dividers marked with an orange badge. Within a product's page, a customer may select "Create Your Own Design," and then pick a size. From there, they are taken to a design site, where options such as color, fonts, and clipart are selectable, in addition to an option to upload their own artwork. Anything from corporate logos to wallpaper patterns can be printed onto the fabric, allowing Versare room dividers to incorporate seamlessly into any office, home, classroom, retail store, hospital, warehouse, or anywhere else requiring a partition to divide space.

Many schools and daycares have utilized the design lab to create murals for classroom dividers, while offices have ordered partition panels with printed corporate logos. Matching wallpaper patterns have been popular design choices for home privacy screens. "With our new in-browser design lab, customers not only have the freedom to pick any color possible, but may also create patterns, designs, and upload logos to advertise their brand," states Versare president Robert Jantschek. "The possibilities are endless, and personalizing a room divider has never been easier."

Versare's room dividers and portable partition panels are built of tackable, sound-dampening acoustical fabric. The aluminum frames are both durable and lightweight, allowing for maximum portability. Partitions such as The Room Divider 360 have been popular choices for school partitions, while The Privacy Screen and Afford-A-Wall have remained top sellers as apartment room dividers for homes. The custom design option is also available on two economical, fabric privacy screens: the VP6 and VP4, providing a range of options that covers most price points.

About Versare: Versare Solutions, Inc. is a Minneapolis-based manufacturer and retailer of portable room dividers, privacy screens, partitions, barricades, and other portable products. Versare handles the manufacturing and shipping of all products directly from their MN headquarters, with most products being built in the USA. Co-founders Robert Jantschek & Jeff Ryan initially created the company to offer a more lightweight, durable, and sturdy room divider than what had previously been found on the market. Their selection of products has grown over the years to include a wide array of portable barricades, configurable office cubicle partitions, economical fabric dividers, and outdoor wicker privacy screens.

Emergency room visits have quadrupled over the last few years in Tioga.

CEO Randall Pederson says the $8.2 million dollar expansion and remodel at Tioga Medical Center was important to meeting the needs of the growing city.

The addition is now under construction which will accommodate six provider offices and 16 exam rooms.

The new construction will replace the existing clinic -- which is currently detached to the south of the hospital.

Tioga currently has one full time family practice physician and four mid-level providers.

Pederson says splitting the staff between two buildings became inefficient as demand for medical services has grown.

(Randall Pederson, CEO Tioga Medical Center) "With that many ER visits, we were having some problems with doctors having to leave the clinic to come up here and meet the patients in the emergency room. At 600 visits per year, it was a doable thing, but when it's 2400 visits a year, we just need to do something different."

A new ambulance bay is included in the new addition and the old ambulance bay will be remodeled to add two emergency exam rooms.

The hospital and nursing home are already under one roof -- and Pederson says the clinic is the 'final piece of the puzzle.'

(Randall Pederson, CEO Tioga Medical Center) "This is a major event in Tioga. This is an $8.2 million dollar addition to our facility and we feel it's needed to meet the continuing needs of the community and surrounding areas and we look forward to getting everything under one roof and take care of people."

A three-decade music teacher at the Riverdale School, Michele Szwed, will be the namesake of the music room where she dedicated so much time to students.

Szwed served as the school's music teacher from 1976 until she retired in 2012. She died on Jan. 31 of this year.

Upon Szwed's retirement, the Board of Education honored her with a special dedication. The board recently decided it would be fitting to honor her again.

"She was a long-tenured, well-respected music teacher who did wonderful things with our program, both the chorus and the band, winning many awards over the years," said school board President Shawn Dougherty.

Szwed won silver awards from the North Jersey School Music Association and National Band Association Region I in 1998, 1999, and 2002.

She received recognition at the North Jersey Music Educators Association Festival in 2003 and 2007.

In addition, she received awards in 1989, 1993, and 1995 at the North Jersey School Music Association, Concert, and Band Festival.

Szwed was credited for bringing music to district and community events over the years, such as graduations, school concerts, the holiday tree lighting ceremonies, and Veterans Day ceremonies.

"She was dedicated to her students and dedicated to her profession. She turned many nights of performances and concerts at the Riverdale School into nights of pure pleasure and enjoyment for everyone who attended," said Riverdale Councilman Steve Revis, a former school board president.

"When the music room was built with the referendum, she had a lot of input into it as well. So the music room should reflect her long-standing history in the district," said Dougherty.
