It could be a little mountain Burgundy of the south – or perhaps France’s miniature Etna. Its main grape variety, Grenache capable of casting spells with its perfumed twill of dappled acidity and tender tannin your tongue will find them in white Collioure; they rival the reds in force and beauty of expression The hills are hammered and squeezed into a series of schist amphitheatres: beckoning nuance ‘Banyuls kills terroir,’ said the appellation president Romuald Peronne of Clos Saint Sebastien Remember that Banyuls and Collioure occupy the same territory – and he wasn’t criticising the region’s historical wine oxidation and extended ageing of Banyuls turns them from wines of place into wines of method craftsmanship and regional expression rather than the uniqueness of a parcellaire (single-vineyard wine) in a particular vintage Yet Collioure has that complexity to offer. ‘We’re discovering terroir again today. We still don’t know our crus. We stuffed up big-time in the past because we just didn’t understand the vineyards. Now that’s changing.’ The evolution, in fact, is similar to what’s underway in Jerez as I described in my September column: a return to the limpidity of source These are immensely challenging vineyards to work – almost unmechanisable Most of those owning the vineyards are double-actifs: people with 1ha at most Not only are plantings mixed in varietal terms but sometimes the vines are owned by the grower while the land itself is owned by the landlord (locally called a complant) Organic cultivation in Collioure is difficult: green the inter-rows and the companion plants will be drinking the water the vines need Since you can’t get machines into vineyards you must weed by hand – which few have the resources or time to do Irrigation is still banned here – but no one’s complaining They have higher yields elsewhere in Roussillon We don’t have under-production; we just have under-commercialisation.’ not least through a policy of vigorous independence for what he’s calling his vignerons sur mer (‘wine-growers-on-sea’) Collioure and the IGP Côte Vermeille are pulling out of the CIVR (Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins du Roussillon) body on 1 January next year Many of the other growers in Collioure are poets of labour working as if awed and humbled by the landscape in which they find themselves through its several linked branches (Parcé Frères Domaine Augustin); the re-born Mas Blanc and Pic Joan flourishing under Laura Parcé and Jean Solé; the painstaking Philippe Gard at Coume del Mas; and passionate Laëtitia Piétri-Clara of Domaine Piétri-Géraud And the tide is turning: 2023 produced 8,500hl of Banyuls – but 13,500hl of Collioure at any rate) to imagine a ‘wine of the south’ that better captures what we might call a Burgundian ideal than Domaine Augustin’s Adéodat Collioure Rouge 2021 yet sustained and structured by a quiet warmth – the flame and flare of its place Utah — A man who had set out to ski on the south face of Mount Superior was rescued Friday after losing his footing and sliding an estimated 800 feet The man was with two others from out of town who set out on the mountain in Little Cottonwood Canyon in the morning They had taken off their skis and put on hiking boots when the incident occurred Salt Lake County Search and Rescue was called in and put the man on a sled before lowering him down the mountain on ropes and transporting him to the hospital Falling ice seriously injures Bridal Veil Falls visitor: some lacerations and some bruises — no broken bones that we could tell," said Ryan Clerico Vice Commander of Salt Lake County Search and Rescue "His helmet was pretty badly damaged in the slide and fall."

than two decades ago for the Little Mountain development site in Vancouver are now under construction with new residents expected to move in sometime in 2026 bought the 15-acre property near Queen Elizabeth Park in 2008 from the provincial government for $334 million and promised to replace more than 200 social housing units the company demolished in the early stages of ownership only a 53-unit social housing building for seniors has opened The delays in replacing the housing have made the company a target of criticism for years from housing advocates and civic and provincial politicians including Premier David Eby when he was attorney general in 2021 BIV learned a 62-unit building facing Main Street is expected to be completed by March while three other buildings are scheduled to open in the spring and summer of 2026 “All five buildings for social housing — one complete and four in various stages of construction — will be finished before any market housing,” said Joo Kim Tiah The total number of units spread across the five buildings is 282 with the 48-unit city-owned building to include a neighbourhood house While progress is being made on the buildings Holborn failed to meet a deadline agreed to in a memorandum of understanding signed in September 2021 with BC Housing and the City of Vancouver Holborn had committed to using “its best efforts to ensure that all non-market housing and related community amenities in the Little Mountain development are expeditiously completed and ready for occupancy pursuant to the foregoing requirements by no later than Dec The agreement was aimed at accelerating construction who was also the minister responsible for housing at the time was pointed in his criticism after signing what he described as a “good faith” agreement “Enough is enough with the Little Mountain tragedy that was orchestrated by the previous government that resulted in a low-income community bulldozed an interest-free loan of hundreds of millions of dollars and a massive empty lot growing weeds in the middle of a housing crisis,” he said “The fact that Holborn didn't have to enter into this [agreement] — and the fact that if they don't meet these commitments it will simply result in more bad press — indicates to me that there is reason for optimism that we can get this done.” Failing to meet the deadline did not result in any penalties from the city or province against Holborn, whose CEO acknowledged in an interview in November 2023 that the social housing component was behind schedule and wouldn’t be completed before the end of 2024 The interview with Tiah was conducted after Mayor Ken Sim and his ABC Vancouver colleagues agreed to amend a housing agreement with Holborn that removed “occupancy permit holds” for three of the 12 lots designated for market housing The holds — a standard practice in contracts — were in place so that Holborn would have to first build all the social housing before proceeding with the market units That requirement was based on the property once being home to 224 units of 1954-era social housing that had deteriorated and was later demolished Holborn wanted the agreement amended because the company said it was unable to obtain financing for the first two phases of the market units without unlocking the holds on three lots Holborn told staff it wanted to launch pre-sales for an 87-unit market building by the end of the year and simultaneously submit development permit applications for three other buildings “The banks will not finance us when there's such strict occupancy holds on the delivery of social housing and that's essentially why we are asking for this,” Tiah said in November 2023 He explained in an email this week that council’s decision to remove the holds “was crucial enabling us to secure financing for the third building — the city’s building — which per the agreement must be completed before the final two social housing buildings can proceed.” Added Tiah: “This was a critical step in moving construction forward.” Holborn could have focused on developing a market housing building in 2024 — after the city-owned building was underway — but decided to proceed with all the social buildings which are paid for by a construction loan from BC Housing Holborn funded the city-owned building via its own commercial financing equity Mike Klassen said he was pleased to hear the remaining social housing buildings were under construction Klassen said criticism of council’s move to remove the permit holds was unwarranted “There was this kind of immediate backlash that we were giving away something — that we were reneging on the development of non-market replacement social housing,” he said What we're now seeing is all of these projects are under construction and on track to open next year.” Klassen acknowledged the frustration of citizens, housing advocates and politicians from various levels of government over what former Vancouver MLA David Chudnovsky once dubbed “a sweetheart deal” for Holborn when it purchased the property in 2008 and the delays happened,” Klassen said there's still a lot of disappointment and frustration that that happened we've got to look forward to getting this new non-market housing built and occupied.” The property was busy with construction activity Monday with Holborn’s chief operating officer Yi-Khy Saw pointing out all the pipes and various materials scattered across the site for servicing the new buildings Holborn has plans to build 13 market condos but doesn’t anticipate completion on the entire development for 10-12 years depending on the market and other factors that could affect the timeline then maybe we can launch more than one a year,” Saw said More Than A Roof and SUCCESS are among the

Wednesday’s Little Mountain fire in San Bernardino prompted a temporary road closure on Little Mountain Drive from Edgehill Drive to Sheridan Road. There were no reports of injuries or buildings damaged. The fire ignited amid a red flag warning that expired Wednesday night. Eric Sherwin of the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District said wind gusts were coming from the northeast at around 20 mph by the fire area Wednesday afternoon. Southern California has been enduring a sustained period of elevated fire danger that began on Jan. 7 — the day the Palisades and Eaton fires ignited. With the expiration of Wednesday’s red flag warning, winds are now expected to calm down for the rest of the week. Moderate winds are, however, forecast to return to the Los Angeles region beginning Sunday night and continuing through most of next week, according to the National Weather Service.

architecture at M.I.T and through his own Cleveland architectural firm had become noted as one of the most important residential architects in Cleveland The construction of Wildwood lasted nearly three years To monitor the progress and escape the city would occasionally make the long journey from their University Circle home in Cleveland to Mentor and spend time at Wildwood Overnight accommodations for the family were unsophisticated in the estate’s barn the Wildwood Estate became one of the earliest renderings of the English Tudor Revival style in Northeast Ohio There are 9 bedrooms; 3 of which were used by servants a full basement and a third floor ballroom Occasionally when not being used by the family the Olivers would rent Wildwood to friends of the family so they could also enjoy Wildwood’s beauty The home was run by a staff of six who tended to the homes interior To make the home comfortable for his young children John Oliver had a small childrens’ playhouse constructed in the woods behind the home electricity and a mini-kitchen with working stove for the girls to practice their skills Milk from the cows was transported to Kirtland for processing and when it wasn’t used at Wildwood it was transported back to the family’s home in Cleveland for use there The Olivers had vegetable gardens on the estate which provided for the family during the summer
