Layton Hills Mall launching Pop-Up Shop

 for local merchants and artists

 

Layton, UT (June 28, 2017) – Local entrepreneurs and artists now have the opportunity to rent pop-up space before leasing a permanent location at Layton Hills Mall.

The CBL & Associates property unveiled the concept this morning on the lower level of the mall in center court. Layton Hills is only the third mall in the CBL portfolio and the first in Utah to debut the pop-up concept.

 

"The Pop-Up merchants that come into the mall will be exposed to tremendous traffic and see the benefits of being in a shopping center without a lease agreement," Marketing Director, Danielle Bendinelli said. "Shoppers will be excited to see what's next, and allowing retailers to come in at a reduced rate will help us continue to grow our locally owned tenant mix."

 

How does it work?

Tenants can rent pop-up space for one week with rates as low as $500. The cost includes fixtures, decor, tables, hangers, mannequins, pallet walls, fitting rooms and exposure on Layton Hills Mall social media channels. When a vendor moves in, they receive vinyl signs on the retail space windows that display the store's logo, as well as signage placed with name and operating dates throughout the mall.

 

“To qualify for the space, tenants must have a successful concept that reflects the integrity of the mall and incorporates local flavor that makes Northern Utah so unique." said Rochelle Fraser, Specialty Leasing Manger. “It's important for each vendor to bring their own style and use the space as a blank canvas. The concept is to be local, engaging and fun for both shoppers and the merchants.”

 

Sister property

Bendinelli said Layton Hills is mimicking its sister property, Fayette Mall, in Kentucky.

Since launching the pop-up concept six months ago, she said Fayette Mall has had dozens of successful local tenants use the space, often more than once. In some cases, it has led to long-term leases at the mall.

 

Layton Hills has not yet promoted the pop-up, but since the vinyl signage went up last week, Fraser has spoken with several callers inquiring about the space.

Interested tenants can email rochelle.fraser@cblproperties.com for details.

BEYOND THE FIRST 100 DAYS; CER REVIEWS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S ACTIONS

On eve of July 4th holiday, it’s time to “Let Freedom Ring”

WASHINGTON, DC (June 29, 2017) — The release today by CER of Beyond the First 100 Days: Transforming government’s role in education is a review of progress to date, a reiteration of its January, 2017 recommendations to the Trump Administration, and an extension for completion of the work that must be performed.

Said CER Founder and CEO Jeanne Allen, “As we say in the introduction, we prefer a model that achieves competency over just measuring time on task, so we’re giving the Administration an extension. It takes time to transform education to impact greater educational opportunity and personalization for all students.”

The report urges the Administration to be bold and consider what’s possible when taking control of a $70 billion agency – and the other several agencies that touch education – and encourages a more sweeping approach to its action. “It’s not just about a school choice program, or increased charter school funding, or small innovation grants,” Allen said. “It’s about dismantling the top-down mandates and arcane characterizations of schools that created the need for the micro schools, innovative charters, competency-based programs and innovative higher education offerings in the first place.”

“We said at the outset that this is an historic opportunity for change and that remains true,” Allen said. “And there’s plenty of time to accomplish great things, but it will take focus and commitment, which is what Beyond the First 100 Days is all about: providing recommendations that add substance, energy and direction to the Administration’s efforts to overhaul the federal role in education and bring real change.”

CER first issued its agenda, titled The First 100 Days: The path to going bold on education innovation and opportunity, in January just as President Trump was taking office.  Since then some recommendations on the agenda have been taken up, but many have not yet fully been reached or pursued. (Beyond the First 100 Days’ introduction includes a scorecard that rates the Administration’s action on issues so far.)

The agenda remains an important guide, Allen explained, offering ideas for action that will result in making personalized learning a reality for millions, ensuring quality teaching, access to innovative and relevant higher education opportunities, and new choices throughout the nation.

“As we look toward the historic 4th of July holiday, we need to remember that the freedoms our Founders fought for are just as critical in education as they are in our day-to-day lives,” said Allen. “We all hope this effort will serve as a call to ‘Let Freedom Ring’ for all learners, at all levels.”

 

 

Founded in 1993, the Center for Education Reform aims to expand educational opportunities that lead to improved economic outcomes for all Americans — particularly our youth — ensuring that conditions are ripe for innovation, freedom and flexibility throughout U.S. education

Mayor de Blasio Fails to Help Ensure 9-1-1 Emergency Services for the Disabled

 

Jonathan Carey "Champion for the Disabled" Born September 12,1993 Killed by caregivers on February 15,2007

There is no more time for political games; Mayor de Blasio said he would help get 9-1-1 for the disabled, if he remains silent many more will die

 

Mayor de Blasio you can step up to the plate now and be a voice for the voiceless, it is not too late; countless innocent and precious lives are at stake. ”

— Michael Carey

DELMAR, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, June 29, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- It is NOT over yet. We have time still today to save many lives from dying prematurely simply because they did not get 9-1-1 emergency assistance and services, like 13 year old Jonathan Carey who had autism who was denied immediate 9-1-1 medical and police services https://www.nytimes.com/video/nyregion/100000000849083/a-failure-to-protect.html and
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/06/nyregion/boys-death-highlights-crisis-in-homes-for-disabled.html

This is from today's New York Times story where Mayoral Control is the top story, but what about people with disabilities that are being treated unequally and not being provided 9-1-1 assistance and services in New York City and throughout New York State? “Another parent familiar with grief, Michael Carey, was urging lawmakers to require those who work with the physically and mentally disabled to call 911 for patients who are in medical distress or are the victim of a physical or sexual assault, among other things. His son, Jonathan Carey, who had autism, was asphyxiated while being restrained by a state employee in a van outside Albany in 2007. “I’ve been fighting for this for 10 years,” Mr. Carey said.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/28/nyregion/potential-deal-in-albany-on-mayoral-control-of-schools.html?rref=collection%2Fbyline%2Flisa-w.-foderaro&action=click&contentCollection=undefined&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection

Potential Deal in Albany on Mayoral Control of Schools
www.nytimes.com
No votes have been taken during the special session convened by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Wednesday, and thus any agreement was tentative.

As Jonathan’s father, I have begged for help from Mayor Bill de Blasio to get 9-1-1 services for the disabled in person twice and many times with his staff. I have traveled to New York City from the Albany area to meet with his top staff including one of the New York City Police Department Deputy Commissioners on the fact that people with disabilities living outside of their family home in care facilities and group homes are be treated unequally, they are being discriminated against and that they are in most cases not receiving 9-1-1 assistance and services. The number one known reasons for deaths of the developmentally and intellectually disabled is staff NOT calling 9-1-1.

There is a Critical 9-1-1 Civil Rights Reform Bill that has massive bi-partisan support in both the NYS Senate and Assembly, but where is Mayor Bill de Blasio? Why is the Mayor who told me that he would help me get 9-1-1 for the disabled nowhere to be found and silent and even complicit as precious New York City residents with disabilities are dying because no one bothers to call 9-1-1 when they are choking or in medical distress? The Mayor wants control over NYC schools, but has the direct responsibility to ensure 9-1-1 medical and police assistance and services are for everyone, which includes our most vulnerable children and adults with disabilities. I have also been told that the Mayor’s wife is a champion for mental health issues, so what the hell is going on?

Mayor de Blasio can insist of the Speaker Heastie and Senator Flanagan for the sake of those within the New York City limits, minimally, that 9-1-1 services which is a basic Civil Right must be provided NYC residents with disabilities. He stand up and speak out and insist that the 9-1-1 Civil Rights Reform Bill must be voted on today. Many will die within New York City alone if this vital bill is not voted on and passed. Speaker Heastie is from NYC and some of the highest death counts of the disabled are in the Bronx and Queens. Both Speaker Heastie and Senate Majority leader Flanagan can easily open a regular session and ensure the vote and passage of this CRITICAL legislation if only Mayor Bill de Blasio steps up to the plate and speaks out for the disabled and their equal rights. Leaders lead, they do not sit on their ass and remain silent as innocent children and adults are dying. Speaker Heastie promised that when 76 Assembly members were signed on as co-sponsors he would bring the 9-1-1 Civil Rights Reform Bill to the floor for a vote, there are 76 Democrats signed on and 112 Assembly members in total. The question is will Mayor Bill de Blasio and Speaker Heastie, both of New York City honor their word to me, Jonathan’s dad, for the 1,000,000 New Yorkers with disabilities and their families that I represent, advocate for and serve?

The number one known and documented reason, as well as number two and three known reasons for these deaths, all surround NOT CALLING 9-1-1 according to DRNY the current federal watchdog agency . The 9-1-1 Civil Rights Bill this rectifies this systemic and deadly failure.

When it comes to crimes being committed against a disabled person, physical and sexual assault crimes, they cannot be kept from 9-1-1 and local authorities any longer. Calling a CORRUPT Justice Center, which is a State agency, with a direct conflict of interest, which is NOT a first responder and NOT notifying local police, DA's or even Medical Examiners and Coroners of most crimes and deaths is not working. This fraudulent State entity under Governor Cuomo’s control is regularly Obstructing Justice and denying the disabled in most cases their NYS and US Constitutional Rights to "equal protection of laws."

The Justice Center "special prosecutor" has been deemed to be operating unconstitutionally by both Attorney General Schneiderman and State Supreme Court Justice Breslin. This individual is still handling rape and death cases as if it still fine - this person is NOT an elected District Attorney, but a State employee that has kept MOST reported crimes and deaths from local authorities. The Justice Center is covering up horrendous and staggering numbers of crimes, including criminally negligent homicides.

It is deadly DISCRIMINATION to continue to deny 1,000,000 New Yorkers that live outside of their family home 9-1-1 emergency medical and police assistance and services. Mayor de Blasio, Speaker Heastie and Senator Flanagan, this is not about protecting Governor Cuomo or his corrupt wrongfully named Justice Center any longer. Let's end this horrific CIVIL RIGHTS TRAGEDY and TRAVESTY and fix what should have been fixed following Willowbrook and certainly following the award winning New York Times award winning investigative reporting series that was a runner up for a Pulitzer Prize that revealed these horrors. The NY Times series is called “Abused & Used” for a distinct reason, our most vulnerable are being abused and used http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/nyregion/abused-and-used-series-page.html. Mayor de Blasio you can step up to the plate now and be a voice for the voiceless, it is not too late, countless innocent and precious lives are at stake. The swift passage of the 9-1-1 Civil Rights Reform Bill is within sight and countless innocent lives can be saved if you only take immediate actions as the Mayor of New York City who has leadership over 8.5 million souls of which approximately 510,000 are people with disabilities whom are being discriminated against because they are being denied 9-1-1 medical and police services in New York City.
