.New Fresh Start program helping families hurt by foreclosure during recession
DOVER — A new state program is designed to help families and individuals who have experienced foreclosures, job loss, or other financial difficulties stemming from the financial crisis that began in 2008, Governor John Carney and other officials announced this week.
Fresh Start, a partnership between the Delaware State Housing Authority and DHSS’ financial empowerment program, $tand By Me, offers free financial coaching to help Delawareans get past setbacks and move toward home ownership again.
“Home ownership is a fundamental element of our economy and important to ensuring our neighborhoods thrive,” said Governor Carney. “We have to make sure that all Delawareans have an opportunity to succeed, achieve financial stability and strengthen their communities. Through Fresh Start, we are giving people the tools they need to help them work through economic challenges.”
The statewide program, funded by bank settlements, was developed to help Delawareans who lost their homes due to foreclosure, short sale, or deed in lieu arrangements, said DSHA Director Anas Ben Addi. They may wish to improve credit, increase savings, or decrease debt to put them in a better position to buy a home or rent.
“Fresh Start reaches Delawareans who have struggled to recover and get back on the path to financial stability,” Ben Addi said. “Losing your home or job is painful and a significant challenge, but with the right coaching and assistance, we can help Delaware families move forward again.”
$tand By Me, a partnership with the United Way of Delaware, works with nonprofits to offer personal financial coaching, with four coaches statewide devoted to helping Fresh Start clients.
“Our goal is to provide people with the information, resources and support they need to establish and achieve their financial goals,” said $tand By Me Director Mary Dupont. Since it began six years ago, $tand By Me has served more than 75,000 Delawareans, including more than 14,000 who have participated in financial coaching.
Governor Carney and other leaders spoke at an event formally kicking the program off at the Goodwill store at Lea Boulevard in Wilmington. Goodwill is one of three nonprofits with Fresh Start financial coaches, along with NCALL Research and Interfaith Community Housing of Delaware.

DOVER -- Hoy el Gobernador John Carney y otros funcionarios anunciaron el lanzamiento de un nuevo programa del estado diseñado para ayudar a personas y familias que han atravesado ejecuciones hipotecarias, pérdida de empleo u otras dificultades financieras originadas en la crisis económica que comenzó en 2008.

DESCRIPTION OF OXLEY (SUNRISE) BY HIS SON W.M. RYAN
I am pleased to be able to supply information regards the building of the ‘Sunrise’, now ‘Sunrise Star’ used in Sydney as a ferry. The ‘Sunrise’ was built by my father W.O. Ryan at Oxley Island in 1926 for the M. R .Dairy Society, Mitchell Island. She was built for collecting cream along the river as far upstream as Wingham. She cost £1010.
She was built of local timber keel, keelson, stem, stern post, etc, all being grown and squared on the island. Planking (is) blue gum bottom, Oregon topsides and beech decking. She was flush-decked with an awning to keep the cream cool and accommodation aft for 26 passengers. Was powered by a 100hp Atlas Imperial diesel.
My father was in charge of the loft at Walsh Island dockyard before returning to Oxley to build the ‘Sunrise.’
1926 - LAUNCH OF OXLEY – LATER SUNRISE
“Extract:”
“Mr. W. Ryan has the contract for the new launch and good progress is being made. At the last meeting the company decided to order an “Atlas” Diesel engine from America. The new launch is costing ₤4,000. It will be able to do 12 miles per hour.
The launch is about the same size as the Yankee Jack but has a greater carrying capacity and is faster by four miles per hour.” The Manning River Times and Advocate for the Northern Coast Districts of New South Wales (Taree, NSW:1898-1954), Saturday 5 December 1925
There was a large gathering at Oxley Island on Wednesday to witness the launching of the Manning River Daily Company's new launch, "The Oxley." The people gathered from many parts of the district. Launches from Taree and Croki took large numbers of passengers to the scene of the launching ceremony; and it was an enthusiastic and expectant throng that gathered on the river banks at midday to inspect the craft as she lay on the slips and watch the preparations for the launching. The weather was all that could have been desired for the occasion. The day was bright and sunny, only an occasional cloud drifting between earth and sun. A keen southerly wind set the white-capped wavelets a-dancing merrily, as though eager to welcome the thing of beauty that rested so gracefully on the stocks. The Manning River Times and Advocate for the Northern Coast Districts of New South Wales (Taree,NSW:1898-1954), Saturday 3 July 1926
NEW FACTORY BOAT – FORMERLY THE OXLEY – TRIAL RUN
“The M.R. Dairy Co’s. new cream boat The Sunrise which was recently launched at the yards of the builder, Mr. W. Ryan, of Oxley Island, had its trial run on Saturday [6th November 1926] morning for the purpose of allowing the navigation Department’s officials to inspect and survey it.
Some of the directors, with the manager, secretary and contractor, accompanied the boat to Taree, where it was joined by Mr. R. S. Vincent, M.L.A., and several business people. A trip was made to Bay’s Hill and back. The return journey to Croki was made in 50 minutes, which is considered good time for a cream boat. The speed of the Sunrise is estimated at 12 miles per hour.
Mr Whatson, of the Navigation Department, and Mr Allan Kell, the Departments representative on the Manning, had a thorough look over the hull and engine. Mr Whatson expressed himself as being pleased with the substantial work put into the craft by the builder. The Sunrise has been fitted with a neat, well ventilated cabin. The engine room is treated similarly to the cabin, and can be locked up. It is lined with asbestos and sheet tin, which minimises the risk of fire. The wheelhouse is fitted with the telegraph system of signalling to the engine room, and a business like wheel stands behind the glassed in front. The new boat is fitted with a 119 h.p. Atlas full Diesel engine, which stops, starts and reverses in answer to a lever, similar to a steam engine. A small engine is installed to compress the air with which the big engine is started. It is intended to place a fire pump on board. The Department has stipulated that a compass must be fitted – a rather unnecessary instrument on a river boat.
The Sunrise is to replace the Yankee Jack on the Wingham run.
It will carry 50 per cent, more cream cans than the “Yankee”, and the accommodation for passengers will also be greater. The new boat is captained by Mr Tom Gale, with Mr. Goodsell as engineer.” The Northern Champion (Taree, NSW: 1913-1954), Wednesday 10 November 1926
SOLD TO NORMAN DOWNEND HEGARTY IN MARCH 1941
SUNRISE SOLD
WELL-KNOWN CREAM BOAT
The M.R. Co-operative Dairy Society's well known cream boat, the Sunrise, of 36 tons, has been sold to Mr. Hegarty, of Sydney. The purchaser sent up his own crew to take the boat to Sydney. She crossed over the Harrington bar on Tuesday afternoon [23rd April] and reached Sydney at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday [24th April]. The Sunrise, which has been in commission for 14 years, was built by Mr. W. Ryan, of Oxley Island. The society is now calling tenders for a 40ft. launch to replace the ''Sunrise"
The Northern Champion Saturday 27th April 1940
OPERATION ON SYDNEY HARBOUR
In November 1932 (the year the Sydney Harbour Bridge opened) Norman Downend Hegarty took over running of the service between Circular Quay and McMahons Point from Sydney Ferries Ltd. and undertook to operate a 15 minutes service on the McMahons Point/Lavender Bay services.
By 1940 Hegarty’s was also running services to Kirribilli and Milsons Point and in 1941 purchased the Sunrise and renamed her the Sunrise Star. Ownership of the Sunrise Star was transferred to N. D. Hegarty and Son Pty Ltd in 1946. By the late 1940s, Hegarty’s were nearly forced to shut down due to incurring heavy losses. Norman Hegarty sold the business in 1949.
“FOR SALE -FERRY SERVICE
A Sydney ferry service operating between Circular Quay McMahons Point-Kirribilli is for sale. Its diesel-engined boats, its wharves, offices, and equipment are all in the market. N. D. Hegarty and Sons Pty. Ltd., who took over the concern from Sydney Ferries Ltd. after the Harbour Bridge was built, intend to concentrate on their Victorian interests.” The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954) Thu 2 Jun 1949
OPERATION IN VICTORIA
The initial ferry venture undertaken was to place two ferries, the Sunrise Star and the M.V. Estelle Star”, at Lakes Entrance in Gippsland in December 1948
Shortly after Hegarty brought the Sunrise Star to Western Port to operate the Cowes [Phillip Island] to Stoney Point [Mornington Peninsula] run.
FERRY SERVICE TO COWES
Ferry services between Stony Point and Cowes are being provided by the private motor launch Idis until a ferryboat arrives from Lakes Entrance next month to replace the Sunrise Star, withdrawn by order of the Marine Board on Friday. The Sunrise Star, which started the service only last Wednesday, was ordered off the run because she did not carry the regulation number of lifeboats. The Age (Melbourne, Vic.: 1854-1954),10 January 1949,page 6
"ESTELLE STAR" FOR PHILLIP ISLAND FERRY SERVICE
LAKES ENTRANCE, Monday.—Owing to the withdrawal of the “Sunrise Star” from the ferry service between Stoney Point and Cowes. "Estelle Star” left Lakes Entrance at six p.m. on Sunday, en route for Cowes to take over the service.
The "Sunrise Star" only took over the service last week. The “Estelle Star,” running as a show boat on the lakes during the Christmas and New Year season proved very popular with the tourists and its fully glassed-in decks had been ideally suitable for the inclement weather conditions experienced. With favourable easterly weather on its departure the "Estelle Star” was expected to reach its destination in about twenty hours' sailing time. It is not known whether another ferry will be put on service on the lakes this season.Bairnsdale Advertiser and East Gippsland Stock and Station Journal (Vic. : 1946 - 1954) - Tue 11 Jan 1949
The Sunrise Star was returned to Sydney in 1949 and became an integral part of N. D. Hegarty Pty Ltd; operation managed by Maud Barker.
PURCHASE BY MAUD BARKER, JEAN PORTER AND ARTHUR BARKER
September 1949 saw a dramatic change in management N. D. Hegarty and Son Pty Ltd was sold to a syndicate comprising Maud Barker (manager), Jean Porter (Naval Architect student) and Arthur Barker (Naval Architect). In 1951 journalist Margaret Clarke wrote a story in the Sunday Herald (The Sunday Herald (Sydney, NSW : 1949 - 1953 Sun 1 Apr 1951).
Some pieces from Margaret’s story have been extracted below:
“One Sydney woman is confident that Sydney won't lose essential ferry services - and what is more, she says she'll provide them if they're needed. She is Mrs. Maud Barber, general manager of N. D. Hegarty and Son Pty. Ltd. The story of Mrs. Barber, housewife and business woman, is salutary. For where men could not do so, she has made ferries pay ("good housekeeping, you know. Economy, common-sense, foresight").
Mrs. Barber's firm employs 36 men already, and if necessary it will take on more. Who says that ferries don't pay? "Not I," says Mrs. Barber. "I've got a really nice little business. It's a little gold mine." The secret? Smaller, handier ferries.
Mrs. Barber was sitting in her shipshape office at Jetty Six, Circular Quay, when I poked my head around the door. She was talking into a microphone. "Attention, deckhand from McMahons Point boat!" she was saying. I could hear her voice reverberating along the jetty where the trim white launch was tying up. Mrs. Barber's swift little craft serve Jeffreys and Beulah Streets, Kirribilli, and McMahons Point, Lavender Bay and Luna Park. "We won't let the North Shore water-dwellers down," she said cheerfully. "If Sydney Ferries do give up at the end of June as they threaten, I'll have a skeleton service on the water within 24 hours. Folk at Cremorne and Mosman needn't lose any sleep about getting to work of à morning."
NINE YEAR OLD BOY TOOK FERRY
SYDNEY, Thursday.
Police said today they were amazed that a nine year-old boy had been able to man a ferry by himself and go for a 20 minute voyage around Sydney Harbour.
"The boy had to show the police how he had started the ferry after they had tried themselves for several minutes", a police spokesman said today. The boy had made frequent trips to Luna Park on the ferry in the past. He had piloted the 75ft Sunrise Star from Circular Quay about 11.30pm. The ferry had been unattended and the boy slipped the moorings. On the way out from Circular Quay the Sunrise Star scraped past another ferry, the Lady Ferguson. Neither vessel was badly damaged and the boy headed his craft out into the harbour.
The ferry headed under the Harbour Bridge and made for Balmain. Soon afterwards it struck trouble and went around in circles. The ferry then made towards the Opera House. Two water police launches cornered the ferry about 100 yd off Bennelong Point. A boy will appear in the Children's Court in two weeks' time charged with stealing. The Canberra Times (ACT: 1926 - 1995) - Fri 28 May 1971
Around 1960, Maud and her syndicate sold to J. C. Needham; no details have been found but the Sunrise Star continued to operate on Sydney Harbour.
OPERATION ON SYDNEY HARBOUR AFTER SALE
It was the closure of Luna Park in 1979, after the disastrous Ghost Train fire, which really undermined the viability of Hegarty’s ferries. It is believed that Hegarty’s ferries continued the ferry service under Stannard Bros. (Mori Flapan pers. comm.) but details are unavailable.
SUNRISE STAR SOLD TO GORDON DAVEY AND BECOMES THE RIVERBOAT POSTMAN
The following article by journalist Susan Parsons describes the life of the Sunrise Star on the Hawkesbury River
“Sunday Gardener
By SUSAN PARSONS
If YOU agree that the next best thing to gardening is messing about in boats, there is an excursion waiting to beguile you in Sydney. Ten years ago, Mr Gordon Davey left a sales career to establish Hawkesbury River Ferries. His business was given a new dimension with a contract from Australia Post to deliver mail in the area, and people who would normally not be tempted on a tourist cruise were drawn to a trip with the Riverboat Postman.
The Gosford train leaves Central Railway at 8.15am and stops 20 metres from the wharf at 9.15am, or you can drive up the Pacific Highway and take the old road down to Brooklyn. Cast off time is 9.30am.
If, like me, you prefer a simple boat, take a water-picnic lunch and opt for the 40 tonne Sunrise Star in lieu of the two-deck glamour vessel MV Hawkesbury on which a smorgasbord luncheon is served.” The Canberra Times (ACT: 1926 - 1995) - Sun 12 Jan 1986
SUNRISE STAR RETURNS TO SYDNEY AS CHARTER BOAT
Around 1987 the Sunrise Star returned to Sydney Harbour as a charter boat; initially by Captain Cook Cruises and later Low Cost Cruises Pty Ltd.

much smaller than plots 16-30, which was a condition of the development, as well as a financial contribution towards education places and education transportation.

Allegedly this was a "sustainable" development in the middle of nowhere because these 30 houses, most with at last 2 cars and numerous deliveries each day to the estate would create less traffic, allegedly, than the riding centre. Surely
the scheme has been designed to have a lesser impact on the Green Belt than the current use of the site.

Though the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing” Coupe is the pinnacle of collectible automobiles bearing the three-pointed star emblem, many consider the 300 SL Roadster that followed it to be easier to drive and more practical for the frequent, long-distance driving tours that owners of these cars enjoy.
When Max Hoffman, the U.S. distributor for Mercedes-Benz, convinced Daimler-Benz in 1953 to put a customer version of the astounding and successful 300 SL racecar into production, the distinctive gull-wing doors and comfort of a closed cabin led the product planners to decide that the first version to be introduced would be the coupe. Nevertheless, believing that there would be strong demand for a roadster that offered the pleasures of top-down motoring, Hoffman encouraged the company to develop an open version with both a foldable soft top and a removable hardtop, which was introduced in 1957.
The most obvious area that had to be changed from the coupe was the tube frame, whose high side sills necessitated the novel gull-wing doors. By adding diagonal struts to brace the lowered side sections and further strengthening the main frame, engineers were able to maintain torsional rigidity in the Roadster while lowering the center connections below the doors. Larger, traditional doors were added to make entry and exit easier. These also permitted the use of roll-up windows, which made the car more comfortable when the removable hardtop was fitted.
In place of the unforgiving, high-pivot, swing-axle suspension geometry of the coupe, adapted from the W186 chassis of the larger 300 sedans, the Roadster chassis used the low-pivot, swing-axle rear suspension adapted from the later 220a sedans, with a coil spring mounted transversely above the differential, linked to the axles by vertical struts to mitigate bump oversteer. The frame and suspension redesign also allowed for the installation of softer coil springs, providing Roadsters with a much more compliant and comfortable ride than in the coupes, without adversely affecting the sporty handling.
Engine compression in the Roadsters was increased to take advantage of 100-octane gasoline becoming available and thereby increase output by 25 horsepower to offset the 250 pounds of additional weight from the Roadster chassis, folding top, and wind-up windows. Making a sports camshaft standard and installing a lower 3.89:1 rear end improved acceleration at the expense of reducing top speed to 137 mph—both changes that were more appropriate for U.S. speed limits and traffic conditions.
All in all, the Roadsters, then and now, were more practical to own than the coupes and sold well from introduction in 1957 to conclusion of production in 1963, with a total of 1,858 units produced.
This gorgeous example was delivered to the port city of Bremen, Germany in November 1957, destined for the United States. As shown on its data card on file, the Roadster left the factory finished in White Grey paint over red leather with a black convertible top. It remained in the U.S. for the subsequent three decades before being shipped back to Europe in 1987. In 2010, the car was sent to the highly respected restoration shop Alte Sterne Manufaktur in Stuttgart, Germany for refurbishment. Photos and invoices on file detail every aspect of the project and show the vehicle stripped down to bare metal for rebuilding. Completed in 2011, the Roadster now presents in the period-correct color of Medium Blue Metallic (DB 396) with a blue convertible top and dark red (641) leather interior, a truly splendid combination. In addition, the standard drum brakes have been replaced with discs at all four corners and allow for far greater usability and confidence when driving in modern traffic. The original drum brakes accompany the sale. Post-restoration, the car remained in Belgium until 2022, when it was air-freighted back to the U.S. after being acquired by the current owner. Significantly, the engine, gearbox, body, and front axle carriers show to be matching units correct to the car, as indicated by the serial numbers noted on the data card.
After purchasing the Roadster, the current owner sent it to award-winning Classic Performance Restorations in Gilbert, Arizona to address the 11-year-old metallic paintwork. As such, the car was completely resprayed to an exceedingly high standard and now presents in national concours condition. In addition to the photographs and invoices, the 300 SL Roadster is accompanied by owner’s manuals, a tool roll, and further documentation detailing ownership throughout the decades.
One of the finest automobiles ever made, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL exudes quality from every surface and detail, engaging, usable, and thrilling behind the wheel. This well-documented, concours-quality example is highly attractive, poised to become the highlight of any collection, thanks to its painstaking refurbishment under the care of conscientious caretakers and its numbers-matching engine, gearbox, and body.

Coopathon! Designing an Index of the Digital Co-Op Space
Nov 7, 2019 11:00AM–4:00PM
Theresa Lang Community and Student Center - Room I202, 2nd Floor
Arnhold Hall
55 West 13th Street, NYC
Join us for a participatory session on how to map the cooperative digital economy in a way that is useful for all stakeholders. This gathering invites everyone to explore individual opportunities and propose solutions for a simple, searchable, and useful index of our ecosystem. In 2020, the index will be designed as part of the Platform Co-op Development Kit.
Questions motivating our session include:
How might we design a user experience that serves unique stakeholder information needs, from policymakers and funders to organizers and technologists and beyond?
How might we build a tool to discover and showcase the range of digital co-op projects around the world?
How might co-ops and other stakeholders take ownership and control of this index, ensure it benefits them, and keep it up-to-date?
Together, we’ll explore these questions and co-design collective solutions.
Facilitated by Danny Spitzberg
Ah, the joys of home ownership! The bricks in our chimney are cracked on the inside of the shaft. All the way down. Apparently, one of the previous owners of the house had some pretty rip-roaring fires in the wood stove!
The cracks cause the chimney to fail to meet building code. So, today a specialist lined it, from stove to top, with stainless steel. It was expensive!
But now, two of our three summer projects are completed. Yesterday, we installed a new back door. No more wind blowing in this winter!
Ownership of this particular piece of property once laid in the hands of a industrialist that served on the cabinet of President Lincoln and later became a railroad president. Later on, it was passed on to his son, who commissioned acclaimed architect Horace Trumbauer to design the house that stands today.
During the Great Depression, the estate was acquired by a religious organization who used the house as an orphanage. After serving as a nursing home for some time, the building was closed in the mid 2000's.
Despite intentions to preserve the house as part of a park that is planned for the property, the prognosis does not look good. Left unguarded, the building has sat open to vandals and the elements, and if the deterioration continues, demolition seems the likely option....

Ownership came full-circle for this series of SD40-2s. They were originally ordered by CN, but later sold to KCS, in whose grey scheme they (kinda) remain. CN, through GTW, purchased them back from KCS, and with the GTW being totally absorbed into CN now, ownership is back with CN proper.
