St. John Properties takes over Opus East business park at Aberdeen Proving Ground - Phoenix Business Journal:

U.S. Army officials worked feverishly over the past week topull St. John Propertieds into the fold, fearful the project wouldf come to a halt if Opus East fileds for bankruptcy protection before an arrangement couldbe struck, companuy spokesman Gerard J. Wit said in a telephone intervieaw Tuesday. “It was a real round-the-clock, week-lonvg effort to get this done,” Wit “We’re going to get in and try to kick-start this right away.” Aberdeen is gearing up for a significant influx of military jobs underthe Pentagon’s Base Realignmenr and Closure plan, expected to be completed by September 2011.
About 8,200 military jobs will be transferred tothe base, in additionn to as many as 18,000 privatw contracting jobs from companies that do businesxs with the incoming military agencies.

Its paren t company, , has also sought bankruptcy protectionjfor it’s Opus South subsidiar y and for two more subsidiaries of its Opus West regiona operation. Opus Corp.
spokeswoman Winston Hewett said Opus East is still evaluating its options but has not made any decisionxabout bankruptcy. The company was forceds to relinquish its rights to the Aberdeeh project because it has been unable to financ morethan $50 million in construction loanw it took out to finance its projects. Most pressinvg among those debtsis $35 million the developer spent to build a new headquarters for the Nationalp Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in College Park, for whicn it has sued the federal government to collectf its wages on that project, Hewetrt said. St.
John plans to breakm ground in the next two monthxs on at least three new buildings at the Harford Countymilitary base, with commitmentes from defense contractors for up to 300,000 square feet of office, research and developmeny space, Wit said. Wit did not disclose the namesa of any of those Those buildings would be in addition toa 60,000-square-foott building Opus East complete in December 2008 for defense contractore CACI. “We view this developmeny as the most significant commercial real estatde opportunity in the history ofour company,” St. John President Edward A.

Georgse Pasha is clear that the proposed interisland service is all abougt finding new business in aneconomic slump. He told PBN in Decembee the number of vehicles he expects to ship this year woulbe 140,000, a 22 percentf drop. “Auto traffic on our regular scheduled servicw has slumped by roughly the same percentageas Matson’s,” Pashw told PBN this week.
“This has been partially offseg by our diversified cargo Young Brothers barges carryh justabout everything, from containerse to cars to farm animals to smallk shipments of loose and bulkuy materials — it wouldn’t be unusual to see a sculptur made out of a slab of koa on the dock — that requirr special handling. Vehicles that can roll on and off vesselsa quicklyare “gravy” to shippers, while items that have to be secures to pallets and moved with forklifts require more labor. “Ther larger issue is that we have done all kindsxof shipments,” Hong said.
“There’s nothing that Pasha can do that we In spite of thefierce competition, the exact size and value of Hawaii’s interisland freight business is hard to pin But it is a steady, growing According to the state, interisland cargl tonnage at the Port of Honolulu increased from 1.8 milliobn tons in 1985 to 2.5 million in 2007. Betweenb 1993 and 2006, waterborne commerce increased atthe state’zs six largest harbors, including a more than 60 percenr increase at Hilo and Nawiliwili, and a four-folxd jump at Kawaihae near Kona. The interisland air cargio business has declined and is a fractionn of freight shippedby sea.
The combine incoming and outgoing air cargoof 140,21 pounds in 2007 was 7,000 pounds less than in and 33,000 pounds less than the peak year of 1997. The air freighrt business remains importantfor time-sensitive items like fruit and fish, but its cost makes it prohibitive for most Mike Malik, president of Alohsa Air Cargo, which handles 70 percenft of interisland air freight, said business is down 28 percenyt year over year. The recession has significantl slowed thesea business, too, as stores deplete existing stock before orderinb more.

"Drivingv may be one of the most difficulty issues to discuss.
Men almost always resist the need to stop Your Dad's driving skills need to be re-assessed in lighy of vision, responsiveness, hearing, and night If his driving is restricted, be willingf to compromise -- maybe driving only in the daytime or in familiarr places.
