Homage to history
Developers of a new mixed-use project in Fairhope have named it Founders Square in honor of the city's founding fathers -- including their great-grandfather, Lawrence Bernhardt. Bernhardt settled in Fairhope in 1897 and was one of the original founders, according to Mike Bernhardt, who bought property at 76 Section St. 18 months ago, along with his cousin, Tim Jackson of Pensacola. The mixed-use development will have two main buildings with four commercial units and four condominium units fronting Section Street, then 10 condo units at the rear of the property on Founders Lane. The property has 120 front feet on Section Street and is 256 feet deep. So far, seven of the 14 residential units and three of the commercial spaces have sold, he said.
Auxiliary front lights legal if mounted properly
Q. San Bernardino resident Vince Carson said he sees pickups and other vehicles with raised-suspension systems and an extra set of lights on the front of the vehicle. The overall effect, he said, is "a double set of headlights that shine right in the eyes of oncoming drivers and nearly blind them." His questions: Are these lights legal on such vehicles? Also, what's the allowable height for headlights? A. Sections 24402 and 24403 of the California Vehicle Code cover three categories of auxiliary front lights: driving lamps, passing lamps and fog lamps. Driving lamps, which must be mounted 16 to 42 inches off the ground, are designed to supplement headlights when on upper beam, but can't be used when headlights are on low beam. Passing lamps, which must be mounted 24 to 42 inches off the ground, are designed to supplement headlights that are on lower or upper beam.
Haryana village first to get florescent lamp lighting
A small village with just 98 households in Haryana has become the first in the country to use only compact florescent lamps (CFL) for lighting. Binaula village in Gurgaon district has shown that it is in tune with the times by using the CFL lamps, which are not only the latest in technology but also help conserve energy. By shifting from the normal yellow bulbs to CFL, the village's electricity consumption has gone down by about 50 percent. A spokesman of the southern Haryana power distribution corporation said Thursday that all households in the village exchanged 700 bulbs for CFLs. This helped bring down the electricity load of the two transformers in the village from 120 ampere to 75 ampere in one case and 98 ampere to 42 ampere in the other.
