History of suits

admin — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 01:53:33 +0000

The man’s suit of clothes, in the sense of a lounge or business or office suit, is a set of garments which are crafted from the same cloth. This article discusses the history of the lounge suit, often called a business suit when made in dark colours and of conservative cut. The current styles were founded in the revolution during the early 17th century that sharply changed the elaborately embroidered and jeweled formal clothing into the simpler clothing of the Regency period, which gradually evolved to the stark formality of the Victorian era. It was in the search for more comfort that the loosening of rules gave rise in the late 19th century to the modern lounge suit.
Men’s suits
The suit is a traditional form of men’s formal clothes in the Western world. For some four hundred years, suits of matching coat, trousers, and waistcoat have been in and out of fashion. The modern lounge suit’s derivation is visible in the outline of the brightly-coloured, elaborately-crafted royal court dress of the 17th century (suit, wig, knee breeches), which was shed because of the French Revolution. This evolution is seen more recently in British tailoring’s use of steam and padding in moulding woolen cloth, the rise and fall in popularity of the necktie, and the gradual disuse of waistcoats and hats in the last fifty years.
The modern lounge suit appeared in the late 19th century, but traces its origins to the simplified, sartorial standard of dress established by the British king Charles II in the 17th century. In 1666, the restored monarch, Charles II, per the example of King Louis XIV’s court at Versailles, decreed that in the English Court men would wear a long coat, a waistcoat (then called “petticoat”), a cravat (a precursor of the necktie), a wig, and knee breeches (trousers), and a hat.
Regency
In the early 19th century, British dandy Beau Brummell redefined and adapted this style, then popularised it, leading European men to wearing well-cut, tailored clothes, adorned with carefully knotted neckties. The simplicity of the new clothes and their sombre colours contrasted strongly with the extravagant, foppish styles just before. Brummell’s influence introduced the modern era of men’s clothing which now includes the modern suit and necktie. Moreover, he introduced a whole new era of grooming and style, including regular (daily) bathing as part of a man’s toilet.
In this regency period, the predominant upper-class clothing introduced by Brummell for day wear was a tightly fitting, dark coloured tailcoat with non-matching (usually pale) trousers, pale waistcoat, white shirt and cravat and tall boots.
Victorian
Towards the start of the Victorian period, the frock coat, initially not just black, became popular, and quickly became the standard daily clothing for gentlemen. From the middle of the 19th century, a new (then informal) coat, the morning coat, became acceptable. It was a less formal garment, with a cut away front, making it suitable for wearing while riding. Morning dress and the frock coat garments were not suits, because they were worn with trousers that didn’t match in color or fabric; a matching waistcoat and trousers were considered informal, clothes described as such in the short-lived term “ditto suit”. The frock coat was still the standard garment for all formal or business occasions, and a tailcoat was worn in the evenings.
Towards the end of the 19th century, the modern lounge suit was born as a very informal garment meant only to be worn for sports, in the country, or at the seaside. Parallel to this, the dinner jacket was invented and came to be worn for informal evening events. It was descended from white tie (the dress code associated with the evening tailcoat) but quickly became a full new garment, the dinner jacket, with a new dress code, initially known as ‘dress lounge’ and later black tie. When it was imported to the United States, it became known as the tuxedo. The ‘dress lounge’ was originally worn only for small private gatherings and white tie (‘White tie and tails’) was still worn for large formal events. The ‘dress lounge’ slowly became more popular for larger events as an alternative to full evening dress in white tie. Edwardian
The beginning of the Edwardian era in the early 20th century brought a steady decline in the wearing of frock coats as the morning coat rose in relative formality, first becoming acceptable for businessmen, then becoming standard dress even in town. The lounge suit was slowly accepted as being correct outside its original settings, and during Edwardian times gradually began to be seen in town. While still reserved for private gatherings, usually with no ladies, black tie became more common.
In North America, the “sack suit”, a cut of lounge suit, saw a large rise in popularity, and, except for the shoulders, it is unfitted, loose, and informal, as it has no darts. Inter-war
After the end of the first World War, most men adopted the short lounge coated suit. Long coats quickly went out of fashion for everyday wear and business, and the morning coat gained its current classification of “formal”. During the 1920s, short suits were always worn except on formal occasions when a morning coat would be worn for formal occasions in the daytime; old conservative men continued to wear a frock coat, or “Prince Albert coat” as it was known. In America, for evening occasions, the short dinner jacket virtually replaced the long “full dress” tails, which was perceived as “old hat” and was only worn by old conservative men. In Britain, black tie became acceptable as a general informal alternative to white tie, though at the time the style and accessories of black tie were still very fluid.
In the 1920s men began wearing wide straight legged trousers with their suits. These trousers normally measured 23 inches around the cuff. Younger men often wore even wider legged trousers which were known as “Oxford Bags.” Trousers also began to be worn cuffed shortly after World War I and this style persisted until World War II. Trousers first began to be worn creased in the 1920s. Trousers were worn very highly-waisted throughout the 1920s and this fashion remained in vogue until the 1940s. Single-breasted suits were in style throughout the 1920s and the double-breasted suit was mainly worn by older more conservative men. In the 1920s, very fashionable men would often wear double-breasted waistcoasts (with four buttons on each side) with single-breasted coats. Lapels on single-breasted suits were fashionably worn peaked and were often wide. In the early 1930s these styles continued and were often even further exaggerated.
Before 1935 (and again in the 1970s) men preferred snugly-tailored coats and waistcoats, however, since then, the mainstream trend has been for looseness. In 1935, a complete change in style occurred. Loose fitting coats were introduced, trousers began to be tapered at the bottom and suit coats began to have tapered arms. These new trends were only reluctantly accepted by men at first. At first the waistcoat continued to be made in the traditional fitted and snug style. By 1940, the waistcoat began to be made in a loose style which made it uncomfortable to wear. In fashion magazines of the day, men complained how these new vests continually rode up when they happen to sit down or bend over. Fashionable men changed their preference to the double-breasted suit coat at this time and it would remain in fashion for the next two decades. By this time, morning dress was being replaced by day time semi-formal, known in America as the stroller. This was quite popular, but has actually been outlived by morning dress, which continues to be worn, while the stroller is now largely gone.
Post-war
Throughout the 1940s and 1950s the trend had been to simplify and modernize the suit as much as possible. For example, by the 1960s the size of the lapel had shrunk to a very small size. Suit coats were also cut as straight as possible without any indication of a waistline. Cloth rationning changed styles significantly, contributing to a large reduction in the popularity of many cuts, such as the double-breasted suit.
The New York Times Style Magazine explains one iconic suit of the era, the gray flannel suit:
Back in 1955, when denim was the height of rebelliousness, Sloan Wilson’s novel The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit turned a men’s classic into a synonym for drab, middle-class conformity . . . Flannel had humble beginnings — the name is reputedly derived from “gwlanen,” Welsh for woolen cloth — and was used for underwear in the 19th century. In the 1880s white flannel was worn for summer sports; by the 1920s the more seasonless gray had become a favorite. When the Prince of Wales wore gray flannel trousers on his 1924 trip to America, they were aped by collegiates on both sides of the Atlantic. Cary Grant and Fred Astaire then carried the trend through to the 1940s. The archetypal square of the postwar era was later described by Esquire’s style encyclopedia as a neat, circumspect, conservative man who carried an attaché case and regarded a pink button-down shirt as his one sartorial fling.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s the Nehru jacket style was worn by a few in the United States — Johnny Carson for example.
In the 1970s, a snug-fitting suit coat became popular once again and this style permitted the return of the waistcoat. This new three-piece suit style became associated with disco music and its culture, specifically popularised by the film Saturday Night Fever, where the tight waistcoat was basic to that fashion. The tight three-piece suit was equated with the discothèque culture. The socially conservative backlash against disco music culture ended the popularity of snug-fitting three piece suits.
The 1980s saw a trend towards the simplification of the suit once again. The jacket became looser and the waistcoat was completely dispensed with. A few suit makers continued to make waistcoats, but these tended to be cut very low and often had only four buttons. The waistline on the suit coat went down again in the 1980s to a position well below the waist. By 1985-1986, three-piece suits were on the way out and making way for cut double-breasted suits and two piece single-breasted.
The early first decade of the 21st century saw the return to popularity of the three-button two-piece suit, which then went back out of fashion as the decade wore on. Women’s suits
The earliest women’s suits were riding habits, which consisted of a tailored coat or jacket and matching skirt from the 1660s. Practical and sturdy, riding habits were worn not only on horseback, but also for travel and other daytime pursuits. Suits not intended for riding appeared in the later 19th century. Both riding habits and walking suits reflected the skirt and sleeve styles of the day.
In the first half of the 20th century, the skirted suit became the common daytime city costume for women, in the workplace and out; dressmaker suits featured softer fabrics and “feminine” details, and cocktail suits were worn for semi-formal occasions in mid-century.
Under the influence of Dress for Success, a working woman’s uniform of skirted suit, tailored shirt, and floppy tie evolved in the 1970s and 1980s. Pantsuits (women’s suits with trousers) were introduced by designer André Courrèges in 1964 but were only gradually accepted as formal business attire.

COLUMN-Banks beware of MBS breach suits: Alison Frankel

admin — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 02:56:49 +0000

Over the last couple of months Bank of America (BAC.N) has taken a stock market and regulatory beating so brutal that it’s reportedly considering the previously unthinkable option of putting Countrywide into Chapter 11. BofA’s mortgage-backed securities exposure seems to have no upper limit; throughout BofA’s long hot summer, it felt like every week investors surfaced with new claims that BofA, Countrywide, or Merrill Lynch violated state and federal securities laws in MBS offerings.
Investors and bond insurers have, of course, made the same claims about Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE), Credit Suisse (CSGN.VX), JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), Morgan Stanley (MS.N), Goldman Sachs (GS.N), and a host of other MBS securitizers. Most notably, the Federal Housing Finance Agency ruined a lot of people’s Labor Day weekend when it filed 17 suits against just about every financial institution in the MBS game (except for Wells Fargo (WFC.N)), asserting state and federal securities law claims.
But the difference, so far, between Bank of America and everyone else has been that BofA is facing litigation not just for securities claims but also for breaching contracts with MBS investors. Mortgage-backed securities, remember, were typically sold through trusts governed by pooling and servicing agreements. Those pooling and servicing contracts usually included provisions calling for the originator of the underlying mortgages to repurchase any loans found to violate the lender’s representations and warranties about their quality. Suits based on alleged breaches of reps and warranties are known as put-back claims-and there’s good reason to believe that banks’ put-back exposure may ultimately dwarf their securities law liability.
Consider the record to date. For all the turmoil in the stock market when an MBS investor like AIG (AIG.N) or FHFA files a securities suit, there’s only been one public settlement of a claim that an MBS issuer violated securities laws: Wells Fargo’s $125 million class action deal in July. By contrast, BofA’s own estimation of its put-back exposure, according to its most recent presentation to analysts, is $18 billion, which includes the $3 billion it has already agreed to pay Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) and Freddie Mac (FMCC.OB) for deficient mortgages the federal housing loan agencies bought directly from Countrywide; an estimated $2 billion BofA has agreed to pay the bond insurer Assured Guaranty (AGO.N); and the embattled $8.5 billion proposed settlement with Countrywide MBS investors for breaches in Countrywide’s reps and warranties. In addition, U.S. Bank, as the trustee in an offering backed by Countrywide mortgages, sued BofA in August, asserting that the bank is liable for breaches in Countrywide’s reps and warranties.
You may be thinking that put-back liability is only BofA’s problem. Put-back suits, after all, are not easy to bring. Investors can’t sue mortgage originators directly to demand compensation for deficient underlying loans. Those claims can be made only through the securitization trustee-and only after investors have jumped through a series of procedural hoops under the pooling and servicing agreements. Moreover, investors can’t take any meaningful action with regard to any individual trust unless they control 25 percent of the voting rights in the trust. Plaintiffs lawyers have spent the last three years trying to put together investor coalitions to get past that 25 percent threshold, but so far we’ve only seen those coalitions take action against Bank of America.
That’s going to change. I believe a combination of four factors is going to lead to an imminent rise in put-back claims against banks other than BofA.
The first consideration is mounting evidence of across-the-board breaches in mortgage originators’ representations and warranties about the mortgages underlying banks’ MBS offerings. The bond insurance industry and FHFA have been diligently combing through thousands of individual loan files, scrutinizing whether mortgage originators failed to live up to their promises about such things as loan-to-value ratios and homeowner occupancy rates. They’ve found that other mortgage originators — including the mortgage lending arms of Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse — breached representations and warranties at least as often as Countrywide. Lawyers for bond insurers have also obtained key rulings from the New York state supreme court that permit them to use statistical sampling in put-back cases. Assuming those rulings extend to investors, put-back plaintiffs won’t have to look at every underlying loan file to assert breaches but can determine a breach rate by looking at a representative sample of loans.
Second, the clock is ticking on New York’s six-year statute of limitations for contract claims. Investors acted first against Countrywide because Countrywide was the biggest mortgage lender in the U.S. and because its October 2008 mortgage-refinancing settlement with 11 state attorneys general put investors on notice of deficiencies in Countrywide’s mortgage underwriting process. Since then, we’ve learned that Countrywide wasn’t the only one. Thanks to bond insurer litigation, securities suits, and congressional investigations, the statute is running on investors’ breach-of-contract claims against other mortgage lenders and the banks that packaged their loans into MBS.
Third, securitization trustees are under pressure to act. Last week Wells Fargo, as trustee, filed a put-back suit against EMC (the erstwhile mortgage arm of Bear Stearns, now part of JPMorgan Chase). That was the third trustee put-back suit we’ve seen in just the last few weeks. Three isn’t a lot, but it’s a lot more than nothing.
Finally, there’s the most important consideration: the investors. Remember, investors don’t have standing to push trustees to bring reps and warranties claims unless they have the threshold 25 percent voting rights in an MBS trust. Throughout the MBS litigation investors have been reluctant to show themselves. But the controversy over BofA’s proposed $8.5 billion Countrywide MBS settlement has flushed investors into the open, beginning with the Gibbs & Bruns group of 22 major institutional investors that negotiated the deal and have steadfastly supported it. Subsequent intervention petitions in the case have disclosed the identity of dozens more Countrywide MBS holders, so presumably, they won’t be so reluctant to step up against other banks.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, meanwhile, has been warning financial institutions to brace for reps and warranties liability. Last October, in a letter from the SEC’s senior assistant chief accountant, the agency reminded MBS issuers and underwriters that they must disclose their exposure “relating to the various representations and warranties that you made in connection with your securitization activities and whole loan sales.” The letter called on banks to include in their public filings a discussion of their reps and warranties litigation risk and their MBS breach-of-contract reserves.
So far — and I know I keep using that phrase — big banks haven’t put a number on their reps and warranties exposure, which they’ve downplayed in public filings. Morgan Stanley’s most recent 10Q, for instance, said that the bank may “under some circumstances” face liability for “representations and warranties concerning approximately $46 billion of loans and … the representations and warranties made by third-party sellers, many of which are now insolvent, on approximately $21 billion of loans.” It did not, however, report reserves for reps and warranties liability. Goldman Sach’s second-quarter 10Q reported that, to date, mortgage repurchase claims against it “have not been significant,” and said it was “not in a position to make a meaningful estimate” of its ultimate exposure.” Credit Suisse reported only $1.6 billion in outstanding repurchase claims as of the end of the second quarter. JPMorgan Chase’s most recent report to the SEC addressed only the bond insurers’ put-back claims against EMC, and noted that its indemnifications by now-defunct mortgage issuers may not be worth much. It didn’t put any sort of number on its put-back exposure or reserves.
Will third-quarter filings have more to say about put-back exposure? Stay tuned.

Internet customer names sought for Hurt Locker suits

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:59:09 +0000

Three Canadian internet service providers have until the end of Monday, Sept. 12, to hand over the names of customers suspected to have illegally shared The Hurt Locker movie online.
“What makes this a particularly noteworthy case is it’s the first big peer-to-peer copyright litigation in Canada in a number of years,” said Michael Geist, a law professor at the University of Ottawa who holds a Canada Research Chair in internet and e-commerce law.
Geist said under existing Canadian copyright law, defendants could be liable for up to $20,000 in damages.
Bell, Cogeco and Vidéotron received a federal court order Aug. 29, signed by Judge Michel Shore, ordering them to provide the names and addresses of accused customers within two weeks. The customers in question are linked to internet addresses called IP addresses that are alleged to have been used to illegally copy and distribute the movie using peer-to-peer file-sharing applications.
The court order was requested by Voltage Pictures LLC, which owns the copyright for the Oscar-winning 2008 film about a U.S. bomb disposal squad during the Iraq war. The company has launched thousands of lawsuits against individuals in the U.S. alleged to have pirated the movie. According to the court order, Voltage wants the customer names from Canadian ISPs in order to notify them of their Canadian lawsuit and add them as defendants.
Cogeco said 10 of its customers are affected and Bell said fewer than 10 of its customers are involved. Vidéotron declined to comment.
Both Cogeco and Bell told CBC News they are complying with the court order.
Bell said it has no plans to appeal the order. The company added that it takes the privacy of its customers seriously and complies with Canadian privacy laws.
“We disclose customer information only when directed to do so by a court order and only to the extent required by such an order,” the company said in a statement.
Ontario MP Charlie Angus, digital affairs critic for the NDP, expressed concern that the lawsuits are being used to intimidate innocent people en masse to pay large settlements to copyright holders.
“These are shakedown lawsuits,” he said. “You send a bunch of threatening notices to people threatening to take them to court with all your lawyers and tell them to cough up some money — it’s outrageous.”
He said the case represents a “disturbing trend.”
Flimsy evidence: MP
Angus added that IP addresses aren’t very good evidence of wrongdoing, as people such as his own elderly mother may fail to secure their wireless network connection, allowing other people to use it.
“If a neighbour downloads the movie, then my mom’s on the hook?” he asked.
In February, when the movie industry was already launching Hurt Locker lawsuits in the U.S., Angus asked movie industry representatives at a copyright bill hearing whether there were plans for a similar approach in Canada. At the time, the movie industry representatives expressed surprise at the question and denied any such plans.
“I think this is an example of why it’s so hard for politicians to trust these lobbyists,” Angus said. “We have to have some clear rules that they can’t pull this in Canada.”
On the other hand, he added that he would be surprised if Canadian law lets the movie industry get away with this approach.
Geist said the lawsuit comes at a time when the government has proposed changes that would cap damages against individuals at $5,000.
Copyright law changes needed: researcher
“It’s a sensitive issue because the government sent a strong signal that it doesn’t want to see the prospect of huge damage awards for non-commercial, individual infringement,” Geist said. “I don’t think there are many people who would argue that $20,000 in liability for single alleged movie download is in any way reasonable or appropriate.”
He added that it highlights the need for such changes to copyright law to be passed.
In addition to limiting liability for non-commercial copyright infringement, the government’s copyright bill from the last session, Bill C-32, includes provisions to shut down pirate sites — something Angus believes is a more balanced approach than targeting individuals with lawsuits.
The bill died when the election was called this spring. Heritage Minister James Moore has indicated that the government plans to reintroduce an exact copy this fall. However, the bill could be delayed by a number of Supreme Court cases related to intellectual property.
With respect to the court order, Geist questioned whether the three affected ISPs did enough to ensure the interests of their subscribers. He said during recording industry lawsuits in the past, ISPs raised the concerns of their subscribers.
“These three seemingly did nothing at all,” he said, adding that they could have at least notified subscribers and given the opportunity to get advice from a lawyer.

When suits and tracksuits collide

THE last 10 days in Irish international football have seen a peculiar type of role reversal. For years under another foreign manager it was acceptable to play ordinary football with some extraordinary players once, in the end, there were enough points on the board so that thousands could spend their summers getting trollied in a foreign country. But, unlike every other year, they at least had football for self-justification.
The miracle of Moscow also changed our ability to play the victim, not because we still don’t enjoy a good moan — that will never change — but because our luck was such that we could have had confidently tried a Lotto and EuroMillions double.
But the oddest role reversal saw our record goalscorer behaving like a politician and a chief executive following it up by celebrating like a player.
John Delaney would certainly have felt sympathy for Robbie Keane during the last two qualifiers when Keane looked like he was trying to play the game from memory during a severe bout of amnesia.
The header against Slovakia that came off his shoulder and the lack of anticipation for several decent crosses that could have come his way in Moscow were two of the more glaring errors, but it’s in the area of public speaking where Robbie really needs help.
Throw a microphone in front of most people on the street and it acts like a mute button and footballers, for the most part, are no different. Before both matches, Keane took the microphone like a nervous father of a bride to read from a script and urge fans to respect the referee and opposition — all of which goes out the window once the first whistle is blown.
Yet, Morgan Freeman needn’t fear a rival for his next voiceover role as Keane didn’t truly look like he believed what he was saying. Delaney could offer some advice here.
The FAI chief executive has faced several tough crowds over the years and, unlike Robbie, seems to have conviction in what he says even in the face of scepticism from the eyes staring back at him.
Delaney could also advise Keane on how to win popularity from the Irish crowd which, despite 111 caps and a record 51 goals, Keane has never universally enjoyed.
Yet judging by the pictures from this campaign, Delaney hasn’t had such a problem and was mobbed in a train station in Zilina earlier in the campaign when the FAI paid for those fans on board to make the journey from Bratislava where they mistakenly believed the game was going to take place.
Those who booked Barcelona in error for next month’s game in Andorra might be hoping for similar generosity if they are lucky enough to get tickets. As it stands, Delaney has said he will watch the game in Barcelona with Ireland’s fans, which perhaps is a tactic Keane should try after he retires.
But it’s in the area of celebrations that Keane could repay the favour. Against Scotland earlier this year, Paul McShane made a run so good that it deserved to wrest the Ginger Pele nickname away from Gary Doherty before passing to Keane, who went on to score. The finish was impressive but McShane’s run barely merited acknowledgement from Keane as he headed off in ‘it’s all about me’ celebration.
Last Tuesday in Moscow, Delaney did the post-match equivalent of tapping the ball into an open goal when he went to the 700 or so Irish fans in the Luzhniki Stadium. Despite not having spilt blood, sweat or marker ink for the cause, Delaney whipped off his tie and threw it to the crowd, some of whom had spent much of the previous two hours bemoaning Robbie’s performance but seemed happy to battle for Delaney’s tie rather than avoiding it like a hand grenade.
Yet if one of the luckiest points ever earned in international football is deemed worthy of throwing an item of clothing to the fans, what will happen if Ireland actually qualify at the Aviva Stadium next month?
Having apparently established popularity with the Zilina and Moscow crowds, Delaney is unlikely to face the kind of retrospective hostility as Charles Haughey did when he won the 1987 Tour de France and met that Dublin fella in a yellow jersey on the podium.
Given that it wasn’t just Delaney who appointed Trapattoni — and Steve Staunton before him — the rest of the FAI board may also need to get in celebration training so that supporters have the opportunity to show their appreciation. If they are in the premium seats, perhaps they could clank the empty one next to them to make a bit of noise.
We’ll know how well the role reversal has gone if the conviction of Robbie’s pre-match speech can rouse supporters to respect the referee. Following on from that, three points could ensure qualification and the sight of Robbie leading the FAI management board through a series of celebratory cartwheels across the turf in a perfect marriage of the worlds of suits and tracksuits. fmlht110914

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — There’s a bit of Barnum, a bit of Billy Graham, and a bit of Bob Vila in him.
Huntingtonian A. Michael “Mike” Perry embraces all sides of his life and seems to be not only a jack of all trades, but a master of all as well.
He likes to tell the tale of the three girlfriends he had between the time he met Henriella Mylar in the fifth grade and when the two started dating seven years later. He sent them all love notes. It didn’t work out as he planned.
“I learned three things: one, girls talk; two, don’t put it in writing; three, monogamy is the only way to go.”
Married for 53 years, the Perrys have lived a life that’s a tribute to their working-class parents, to their strong faith and to a back-to-basics choice they made when their three children were young.
According to a booklet written by Perry, it’s a love story about a man who gave up golf because his wife “lovingly” asked him to find something they could do together as a family, and a woman who gave up living in a beautiful brick home in the city to move to a log cabin in the country.
Mike grew up in Huntington, attended Marshall University, majoring in political science and economics. The couple lived in Morgantown during his law school years at West Virginia University. He was practicing law with Huddleston Bolen law firm when Henriella suggested an alternative to his golf Saturdays — antiquing. They established as their budget the amount he was spending playing golf, about $5 a week in greens fees.
In the meantime, Mike’s father bought a 200-acre farm from the heirs of Col. Cornelius Blatt. After his father’s death at age 52, the farm became a refuge for Mike’s mother and family. The family made the farmhouse livable for weekend use.
When an adjoining farm became available in 1973, Mike and Henriella moved from their comfortable home in Huntington to a partially burned log house on the property with no indoor plumbing, one light and one electrical outlet for a radio. They had three children: Michele, 12, Melanie, 10, and Audy, 2.
Law partners and friends didn’t understand the move, wondering if the couple was having financial problems. But the Perrys knew it was the right thing to do for their young family.
A video shown at Perry’s Heritage Farm Museum and Village, titled “All Because Two People Fell In Love,” shows a photo of a suburban brick home. The voiceover says, “They moved from this house,” and the photo switches to a shamble of a farmhouse, “to this house.” The family worked on the house and barn for 15 years.
Every Saturday, their junking treks produced tools used to work with logs, and then other household items. The collection grew. In the 1980s, they started converting the old dairy barn on the property into storage space, but eventually realized they wanted their items to tell a story, and the barn became a museum for their collection.
Mike, 74, now retired from his position as chairman of Bank One West Virginia, serves on the board of directors of Champion Industries Inc., Portec Rail Products Inc. and Arch Coal.
Far from the boardroom, he now greets visitors to his village, which is open for tours. He’ll probably be munching on an apple, wearing muddy work boots, dirty work pants, a plaid Carhartt shirt and a ball cap emblazoned with “Heritage Farm Museum and Village.”
Henriella asked him to dress up a bit for visitors, but she knows this is his attire of choice.
“He wore suits for so many years — this is how he’s comfortable,” she said.

When an adjoining farm became available in 1973, Mike and Henriella moved from their comfortable home in Huntington to a partially burned log house on the property with no indoor plumbing, one light and one electrical outlet for a radio. They had three children: Michele, 12, Melanie, 10, and Audy, 2.
Law partners and friends didn’t understand the move, wondering if the couple was having financial problems. But the Perrys knew it was the right thing to do for their young family.
A video shown at Perry’s Heritage Farm Museum and Village, titled “All Because Two People Fell In Love,” shows a photo of a suburban brick home. The voiceover says, “They moved from this house,” and the photo switches to a shamble of a farmhouse, “to this house.” The family worked on the house and barn for 15 years.
Every Saturday, their junking treks produced tools used to work with logs, and then other household items. The collection grew. In the 1980s, they started converting the old dairy barn on the property into storage space, but eventually realized they wanted their items to tell a story, and the barn became a museum for their collection.
Mike, 74, now retired from his position as chairman of Bank One West Virginia, serves on the board of directors of Champion Industries Inc., Portec Rail Products Inc. and Arch Coal.
Far from the boardroom, he now greets visitors to his village, which is open for tours. He’ll probably be munching on an apple, wearing muddy work boots, dirty work pants, a plaid Carhartt shirt and a ball cap emblazoned with “Heritage Farm Museum and Village.”
Henriella asked him to dress up a bit for visitors, but she knows this is his attire of choice.
“He wore suits for so many years — this is how he’s comfortable,” she said.
Mike said he’s been fortunate to live in multiple worlds. He was businessman by day, farmer/contractor/builder/collector by night and weekend.
“I’ve been involved in economic development,” he said. Later in the conversation he described trips to Japan to woo Toyota executives, meetings with senators and governors and even presidents.
Yet he was most passionate when he talked of a wonderful neighbor, now deceased, John Bickar.
“He took us under his wing and helped us learn as city folks how to live on the farm. We learned how to garden, butcher a hog, care for our cattle, raise corn as well as cut silage and put it up into the silo to feed our cattle in the winter, cut and bale hay, etc.
“Most important, he accepted us into a very close-knit community of early settlers and taught us many valuable lessons about being good neighbors and was a fabulous example of an Appalachian gentleman — creative, resourceful, energetic, as well as courteous. I admired him greatly. It truly takes everyone to make a great country. Not just the rich and famous, or just the average person, but the two working together to create a better place for all of us to live, work and play.”
He’s made many of his life dreams come true, including a simple one that took a lot of work to achieve.
“I always wanted to ring the church bell, so I built a church and I bought a bell,” he said, grinning.
“We staked out the church many times, to see how it would look from the road and from various points on the farm. The church is central to any community, and to this village.”
Church is central to the Perry family, too. They are faithful attendants at New Baptist Church, with a congregation formed from two churches in 2008 and services held in an abandoned ice skating rink. He’s taught Sunday school and they both sing in the choir.
“We’ve sung in the church choir together forever,” Henriella said.
Mike said the farm strengthens his faith. “If you’re a farmer, you can’t delude yourself that you’re doing it all by yourself — when you have a bountiful harvest, you have to thank the Lord.”
The Perrys have eight grandchildren. The farm is still a family endeavor, with Audy’s wife, Laura, running the office with Henriella. On a recent sunny day, Audy took a break from his law practice at his dad’s old firm, Huddleston Bolen, to come over and don work clothes to help around the property.
Reflecting on the experience of building their home, the farm, the museum, and the village, Mike smiles broadly.
“It’s been marvelous — we’ve had a ball.”

State scraps investigation of Suits and a Keg fundraiser

admin — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 01:35:41 +0000

The state Human Rights Commission closed its investigation into the guy-centric fundraiser “Suits and a Keg” because it could not locate the woman who allegedly filed the complaint, its director said Thursday.
And the situation surrounding who filed the complaint — which alleged discrimination by the Fort Vancouver National Trust against women — is “suspect” enough for the department to request a criminal investigation into the filing, Human Rights Commission Executive Director Sharon Ortiz said.
She added that whoever did file the complaint wasted taxpayer money, as the commission was already working with the fort to correct wording in its event advertising that used terms such as “guys only.”
“The Washington State Human Rights Commission has limited resources and was in the process of working with Fort Vancouver at no cost to the taxpayer other than a phone call,” Ortiz said. “Our resources must be used carefully to investigate legitimate claims of discrimination. So we have concerns if our resources are utilized improperly.”
A woman claiming to be deaf and breast-feeding a baby filed a complaint with the state on July 29, saying that organizers of the Aug. 12 event told her she and her infant could not attend the fundraiser, which featured whiskey, beer and cigars.
But no record of the woman, a Rebecca Pulliam, could be found by The Columbian. Neighbors in the apartments at 516 Main St., which she gave as her address, said there was no deaf woman and no baby there.
But they said that Marcus Griffith, a former freelancer for the Vancouver Voice alternative newspaper, did live at that address.
Pulliam listed Griffith, along with an Amber Dreamwood, as witnesses to her claim. The complaint gave no contact information for Dreamwood, and a search for her also revealed no trace.
But Griffith was actually the first person to contact her about the potential discrimination case, Ortiz said. He also called her several months before with a question about an unrelated breast-feeding discrimination complaint that was never filed with the agency, she said.
Ortiz was unable to comment on details of the investigation until it was closed late last week.
“He called and informed me about an event called Suits and a Keg that was open to the public but for men only,” she said. “He emailed us the advertising and I Googled it and saw language that this was a guys-only event.”
The commission called Fort Development Director Alishia Topper about the possible violation of anti-discriminatory laws, and Topper was being “extremely cooperative,” she said.
The fort was changing its language to make it clear women were also welcome to attend, and that would have settled it, she said.
But then, the formal complaint from Pulliam came in on July 29.
The Columbian reported that Pulliam could not be located in state voter’s records, at her address, in the phone book or on Facebook.
Ortiz said that news caused her to assign the case to a specialist.
The specialist could not find Pulliam in any state records, and a certified letter sent to the address she listed was returned as undeliverable.
“We found this to be suspect,” Ortiz said.
It is a misdemeanor to interfere with an investigation and make a false statement to a public official, Ortiz said.
“That led me to consult with our assistant attorney general and the Clark County Prosecutors Office to look at a possible criminal investigation, and we are waiting to hear back about that,” she said.
The Clark County Prosecutors Office did not return a call for comment Thursday.
Ortiz was unable to say how much money the investigation cost.
“It took staff time, it took me the executive director and our assistant director — we had to meet and talk about it,” Ortiz said. “We assigned the case to a specialist because it was getting so bizarre, so it was a waste of taxpayer dollars.”
Griffith said last month that he knew Pulliam, but had “not run into Rebecca in quite some time.” But he also said he is a witness in her claim because he, too, had heard one of the event’s organizers, Jared Hidden, describe Suits and a Keg as an event for men only.
Contacted via email Thursday, Griffith did not answer a question asking if he had seen Pulliam recently.
He wrote instead: “I am disappointed the oddness of the case distracted from the primary issue, however, even the most unprofessional and bizarre members of our society warrant their civil rights being honored.“
Organizers said that Suits and a Keg was well attended and raised more than $6,500 for the Fort Vancouver National Trust.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND — A real estate affiliate of The Kroger Co. has purchased The Mall at Shelter Cove for redevelopment.
The company announced acquisition of the mid-island property at 24 Shelter Cove Lane in a Tuesday news release. It said the purchase was made Aug. 10.
The closing officially transferred ownership of the 42-acre parcel and approximately 300,000 square feet of existing retail space to The Shelter Cove Town Center LLC.
Many of the mall’s store spaces are vacant, including an anchor store space from which Saks Fifth Avenue’s Off 5th store relocated in February to the redeveloped Tanger Outlet Center 1 on U.S. 278 by Bluffton.
During the redevelopment, Brooks Brothers and other Tanger 1 outlet stores had temporarily rented space at the Hilton Head mall during the Tanger 1.
“The Mall at Shelter Cove is a premier property for Hilton Head Island and the Beaufort County region,” says Glynn Jenkins, director of public relations and communications for Kroger’s Atlanta Division, which includes South Carolina, Georgia, Northern Alabama and Eastern Tennessee.
“We look forward to bringing to life this property’s full potential in a manner that serves residents and visitors.”
Augusta, Ga.-based Blanchard & Calhoun Commercial Corp. has been named development partner for the project, which will include a Kroger store.
“For 85 years, Blanchard & Calhoun has served the Southeast as a real estate development and commercial brokerage firm, specializing in retail, multifamily, residential and hotels.
“It is renowned for providing clients with professional service, its passion for excellence and a commitment to balancing real estate development while respecting the natural ecosystem,” the release said.
While redevelopment plans are still being explored, they are anticipated to range from the construction of new retail space to the addition of residential units. Final plans will be announced at a future date.
“Kroger’s Atlanta Division operates 214 stores, 11 of which are in South Carolina communities (including Bluffton,” Jenkins says. “We look forward to expanding our presence in the state and serving shoppers with the value; variety of products, services and amenities; and local charitable support our customers expect.”
Potential tenants may contact Mark Senn with Blanchard & Calhoun at (706) 854-6714 for information about leasing opportunities.

‘Next guy up’ motto suits Ohio State’s front seven

admin — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 02:15:06 +0000

COLUMBUS — From listening to him and watching his moves, you’d swear his name was Andrew “No” Sweat.
“This is the most anticipated camp I’ve ever had, going back to high school,” Ohio State’s senior linebacker said. “There’s been a lot of adversity this offseason, and we’re excited to prove things through our actions.”
Sweat, who has moved this summer from the strongside linebacker to his old home on the weakside, looked like he never left. He made nine tackles, including four for losses, in the team’s first jersey scrimmage.
He’ll have to pick up the slack left by the departures of Brian Rolle and Ross Homan, Sweat’s fellow running mates at linebacker and last year’s two leading tacklers.
“The most important lesson I’ve learned from any of our (former) linebackers, especially James Laurinaitis, was how to practice,” said Sweat, a finance major from Washington, Pa. “He didn’t have to say anything. You just had to watch him, to see how he practiced. I try to do that; I try to go full speed every day.”
Sweat, who came off the field last year when OSU was in its nickel package, is one of only four returning starters on defense with linemen John Simon and Nathan Williams and safety Orhian Johnson.
Of that group only Simon started all 13 games, so the Buckeyes have plenty of holes to plug on defense. Sweat doesn’t appear worried.
“Our coaches do a great job of recruiting and reloading,” Sweat said. “They may not be mainstream names right now, but they’re still great players. “I waited in the wings behind Laurinaitis and those guys. You see what they do and try to improve every day. Then when you get your opportunity you try to shine.
“The window of opportunity is so small, and there are so many great players at Ohio State that if you don’t compete every day, you’re not going to make it.”
Defections and suspensions have hurt OSU’s depth at linebacker, but middle linebacker Storm Klein and strongside ‘backer Etienne Sabino know they, like Sweat, have to fight for the right to be the two linebackers on the field when the Buckeyes deploy five defensive backs, which is most of the time.
“The best players are going to play,” said Klein, a junior out of Licking Valley, “whether Tyler Moeller (in the nickel) is in on later downs or me at the beginning (of a new set of downs).”
Klein was asked if he might be one of the fortunate two.
“I hope so,” he said. “I’m working my butt off.”
Sabino agreed to redshirt last year as a junior so he would still have two seasons left. He really didn’t have any other options. Even though he was one of the Buckeyes’ best special teamers, he wasn’t going to unseat Rolle or Homan.
“I learned the game of football better, more than just X’s and O’s,” said Sabino, who broke his left hand in the jersey scrimmage but expects to be ready for the opener. “I got a feel for the game. Overall, I just think I know football better.”
“Never for a second did I ever doubt my abilities, but I definitely wanted to come in and contribute.”
Two freshmen who should be able to help the linebacking corps immediately are Curtis Grant and Ryan Shazier. The 6-foot-3 Grant, who appears to be carrying more than his listed 225 pounds, was the No. 2 overall prospect in the nation according to Rivals.com. Shazier looked good in the jersey scrimmage with eight tackles, one for loss.
“We’re reloading again,” Sabino said. “We lost some big guys, but ‘next guy up’ is our motto this year.”
Up front, expect the Buckeyes to play some combination of Williams, Simon, Garrett Goebel, Johnathon Hankins and Adam Bellamy. Among the freshmen raising some eyebrows are Michael Bennett and J.T. Moore.
Hankins captured everybody’s attention upon his arrival last year from Dearborn Heights, Mich. But now he’s a shell of his former self. “Big Hank” has pared 30 pounds and is now a svelte 6-3, 335.
That makes 6-6, 375-pound offensive lineman Chris Carter, a freshman out of Cleveland JFK, the biggest player on the roster.
“Big Hank used to be Big Hank, but now you look at him and say, ‘Is Hank losing weight or is he just standing next to Chris Carter?” joked head coach Luke Fickell.
Fickell wasn’t joking, though, when he said Hankins could turn out to be a pocket-exploding tackle or even come off the edge.
“He’s probably a guy who showed as much flash as anyone at times last year and through the spring,” Fickell said. “He played about 15 snaps a game last year, and we’re going to need a lot more from him.”
