Historic Aurora Inn to Host Grand Reopening Following 3-Year Renovation Led by Celebrity Designer

90-year-old North Eastern Ohio Landmark has been “Restored to its Original Beauty,” Will Celebrate Remodeling Completion and Milestone Anniversary on October 13th

Aurora, OH (PRWEB) September 07, 2017

The historic Aurora Inn Hotel & Event Center, an Ascend Hotel Collection Member, will host a Grand Reopening celebration on October 13th in honor of its completed renovation coupled with its 90-year anniversary. Designed and inspired by New-York based designer Genevieve Gorder, of HGTV fame, the 3-year remodeling of the Western Reserve landmark property mixes the beauty, grace and serene dignity of an earlier century with today’s modern finishes. The Inn’s legendary reputation for food, atmosphere and events is reclaimed through its newly-crafted space.

“I’m pleased to announce the rebirth of the historic Aurora Inn,” said General Manager Jason Sandoval. “After 90 years, the hotel has been harmoniously restored to its original beauty, designed for the comfort of today’s savvy traveler.” On Friday, October 13th, the public is invited to stop by during the afternoon beginning at 12 pm to join city officials in a Grand Reopening ribbon-cutting, walk the picturesque grounds and participate in guided tours, enjoy a selection of Chef’s menu tastings, or enter in a raffle for the chance to win door prizes. The Open House/Birthday Party will dovetail into an outdoor concert performance to start at 8:30 pm by Heartbreaker, a Heart and Joan Jett tribute band.

When it first opened in 1927, The Aurora Inn was a “pleasant pause” for weary travelers in a crossroads town. The intimate refuge became a gathering place for the local community and celebrities, hosting legends like Rosemary Clooney and Paul Newman, before losing its luster over time. Now under new ownership, the revitalized Inn promotes genuine cordiality of yesteryear inside a chic new setting. The charming, 66-room property, owned by Aurora Hotel Partners LLC and managed by Portfolio Hotels & Resorts, pays respect to its celebrated past while providing guests with the modern amenities of a luxury hotel.

The Design:
Genevieve, who hosts the “Dear Genevieve” show on the HGTV channel, was the lead designer in The Aurora Inn remodeling. The beloved American designer applied her special talents and skills to update many areas, including the Six Horses Tavern, The Cutting Board Restaurant, guest rooms, and event/banquet facilities. The result is a refreshed space that exudes atmosphere conducive for the same gracious hospitality and friendly encounters that made the Inn renowned nearly a century ago. Genevieve attempted to maintain the richness and history that is still evident throughout the Inn while adding bits of modern flare to make each space relevant.

The lobby features the hotel’s original brick flooring and oversized fireplace, while ceiling beams, doors, frames and crown molding uncovered during the renovation have been lovingly restored. The Inn’s design scheme captures shades of white, grey, black and off-black, while providing pops of vibrant color for contrast. Fine craftmanship and creative touches have been incorporated throughout the hotel, such as handmade wooden armoires made by local Amish carpenters and sliding barndoor bathroom partitions.

The Food & Beverage:
Throughout its 90-year run, The Aurora Inn has always been a popular local destination for quality food and drink. Located off the lobby and considered one of the best restaurants in the area is The Cutting Board Restaurant. Adjacent to The Cutting Board is Six Horses Tavern, named for the type of hitch used to harness the six horses which pulled the busy stage coach from the stop that once occupied this site.

The Cutting Board
The Cutting Board is an American Contemporary kitchen offering “comfort food with a twist,” incorporating local and seasonal ingredients to fuel its “fresh to your table” concept. The culinary team focuses on creating unique pairings and creative menu options that are “sure to please even the most distinguished palate.” Their specialty is from-scratch recipes that use home-grown herbs and spices, fresh produce, and sustainably-sourced proteins – “like having a gourmet home cooked meal away from home.” The Cutting Board features tableside cooking, a rotating scratch menu and brunch buffets on Sunday’s and special holidays.

Six Horses Tavern
Fond memories of a once vibrant bar scene, where celebs like Ohio-native Dean Martin would stop by for a cold one, are reawakened at the restored Six Horses Tavern. The warm and cozy bar pays homage to its humble beginnings set in a new age, with dark wood and wrought iron fixtures mixed in with modern luxuries (such as USB ports in the power outlets). The tavern offers guests the casual option of a quick bite, beer or a craft cocktail with friends or coworkers in a historic venue. Daily Happy Hour specials along with weekly live music, inside or outside during warm weather months, have also made Six Horses Tavern a leading entertainment venue in town.

The Event Facilities:

Weddings & Banquets
The Aurora Inn has been hosting dream weddings and unforgettable banquets for generations. The newly renovated ballroom and veranda, designed by Genevieve, still maintain their old-world charm. From small crystals layered into the wallpaper to restored chandeliers, the remodeled indoor space has unique touches mixed with vintage detail. Outdoors among the exceptionally manicured landscape, the Inn boasts an expansive patio perfect for cocktail receptions as well as a new tented pavilion that can accommodate large gatherings up to 350 people.

Meetings
Whether business guests are looking for a formal business luncheon in a bright and airy banquet area or a private meeting room, The Aurora Inn offers over 7,000 square feet of flexible space as well as a dedicated team of experts to help manage it. The renovated event space provides the intimate appeal of the historic Inn along with the high-tech capabilities of a state-of-the-art event center. Each meeting is tailored to the client’s needs in a unique upscale environment, offering a wide verity of food and beverage selections, complete with audio and visual packages.

More about The Aurora Inn Hotel & Event Center, an Ascend Hotel Collection Member:
The Aurora Inn is a 90-year-old Western Reserve landmark located at 30 Shawnee Trail,
Aurora, Ohio 44202. The hotel finished a 3-year renovation in 2017, inspired by celebrity designer Genevieve Gorder. With 66 guestrooms and suites (including dog friendly room options), The Aurora Inn maintains a historically intimate charm intended for today’s savvy traveler. The Inn proudly boasts a signature farm-to-table restaurant, an old-world tavern, a multi-functional ballroom, flexible meeting spaces and a large indoor pool that is beloved by the local community as well as hotel guests alike.

Gateway Foundation is hosting two events in honor of September Recovery Month: 2017 Aurora Recovery Walk and 2nd Annual Gateway Lake Villa 5k

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 07, 2017

Gateway Foundation Alcohol & Drug Treatment Centers is pleased to announce two events this September in honor of National Recovery Month. First of which is the 2017 Aurora Recovery Walk, at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 23rd 2017, at Gateway Aurora (400 Mercy Lane Aurora, IL 60506).

The public is invited to this free event, where participants will meet at Gateway Aurora and walk a 1-mile course around the adjacent Presence Mercy Medical Center campus. The course ends at Gateway Aurora as well, where participants can tour the site, listen to alumni speakers, enjoy a light lunch, and win raffle prizes. No registration is required for this event.

The purpose of the Aurora Recovery Walk is to acknowledge and celebrate the gains made by those in recovery. Gateway Aurora hopes to spread awareness that treatment can, and does, support individuals in achieving recovery and living a healthy and rewarding life.

The 2nd Annual, One Stride at a Time: 5K Run/Walk to End Drug Overdose is the Saturday following the Aurora Recovery Walk, on September 30th, 2017. All proceeds of the race will benefit the Lake County Opioid Initiative and Gateway Lake Villa' s Naloxone Distribution Program.

The 5K will take place, rain or shine, at Hastings Lake in the Lake County Forest Preserve, located at 21155 W. Gelden Road, Lake Villa, IL 60046. All ages and fitness levels are welcome to join. The 5K (3.1 mile) run/walk will begin at 8:30 a.m., followed by the Youth 1K Fun Run, which will start at 9:30 a.m.

Participants can register online at RecoverGateway.org/race. Online registration will be open until 12 p.m. on Thursday, September 28th. Additionally, people can register at packet pick-up on Friday, September 29th from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Gateway Lake Villa (25480 W. Cedarcrest Lane, Lake Villa, IL 60046).

Participants may also register the morning of the race, but to guarantee their requested t-shirt size, they are encouraged to register online by September 28th. The fee is $35 for the 5K and $15 for the Kids Fun Run. Gateway Employees receive a special rate of $20.

Participants will receive a t-shirt, various giveaways, and will also be entered to win raffle prizes. After the race, participants are welcome to refuel with bagels and other light snacks and refreshments. Gateway wishes to thank all 5K sponsors, including TASC, Sodexo, Kaufman, Hall & Associates LLC, Footprints to Recovery, Soft Landing Interventions, Greater Wisconsin Employee Assistance Professionals Association, Live4Lali, Johnson & Johnson, Chicago Behavioral Health Hospital, Protiviti, Citizens for Mike Nerheim, the Village of Mundelein, and New Vision Print & Marketing Services.

If an individual does not want to run or walk but still wants to help out, volunteers are welcome. A variety of positions are open, in which one can sign up online here. Stay updated on the 5K with Gateway's Facebook and Twitter pages and be sure to visit our YouTube channel after the race to revisit the day's fun.

The goal of the run/walk is to raise awareness of and funds for preventing drug overdose. Gateway's Naloxone Distribution Program helps to decrease the fatalities caused by overdose. Naloxone, an opiate antagonist that reverses the effect of overdose from opiates such as heroin, can provide a window of opportunity to save a life until emergency medical help arrives.

The Lake County Opioid Initiative was started to address the rapidly increasing opiate problem in Lake County, in which 69 Lake County residents have died due to heroin and other opiates—doubling in just 5 years. Lake County State's Attorney Mike Nerheim called on local stakeholders to develop a comprehensive opioid prevention strategy for Lake County. Several groups, including Nicasa Behavioral Health Services, Live4Lali, the Lake County State's Attorney's Office, George Filenko Chief of Round Lake Park Police Department and Commander of the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force, and Roosevelt University's Illinois Consortium on Drug Policy, worked together to develop the outline for the opioid prevention plan—considered a model for Illinois, and for the nation.

Benetech, Inc. Dust Mitigation Supports Fewer Accidents and Injuries

Benetech, Inc. is further refining its focus on dust mitigation that reduces accident and injury hazards caused by fugitive dust.

Aurora, IL (PRWEB) September 08, 2017

Benetech, Inc. is further refining its focus on dust mitigation that reduces accident and injury hazards caused by fugitive dust.

In addition to the combustion and respiration dangers of dust, bulk material handlers with an airborne dust problem often contend with reduced visibility, compromised walkways and hindered access to conveyors and other process equipment, all of which can lead to an accident or injury. Fugitive dust also can lead to mechanical wear and more-frequent clean-up around conveyor belts, raising the risk of a threat in those areas. Storage piles and material conveyance and transfers in particular often create airborne-dust challenges at bulk material–handling plants.

Benetech, Inc. provides new dust-mitigation systems that solve fugitive-dust problems according to a plant’s design and implementation requirements. Beyond helping protect personnel, Benetech dust mitigation fortifies regulatory compliance and greater productivity.

Benetech’s new solutions for material flow safety and a dust-free work environment include:

Dust Collection – applying a mechanized, engineered process to remove fine airborne dust particles from the material-handling system

Dust Containment – restricting and reducing fugitive dust with engineered transfer chute technology that draws less air into the transfer point; seals leaks where dust can escape; and controls the material from the head box to the tail pulley instead of letting it ‘free fall’ through the transfer system

Dust Suppression – applying a solution to the airborne dust through a mechanized process that decreases the surface tension of the water in the solution to better capture dust particles and return them to the main bulk material flow

Benetech dust mitigation also features key components such as inspection doors for easy access to hidden areas; belt cleaners for preventing carryback and spillage; belt support and containment for restricting fugitive dust; GreenTarp™ dust control for inactive piles and ground covers; and washdown systems for effective, effortless cleaning.

The company’s specialists evaluate existing dust-mitigation systems, troubleshoot for any defects and advise plant operators on how to correct them as well.

“Our dust-mitigation solutions increase safety, boost production and provide greater peace of mind for bulk material handlers,” said Benetech Vice President Paul Moran. “We are fully invested in keeping their plants more secure and making them more efficient. Our main goals for each Benetech customer are safe material flow and a dust-free work environment.”

Benetech provides complete, performance-based solutions for dust mitigation and bulk material–handling systems. Its products, services and technologies reduce dust, prevent spillage, improve material flow and reinforce compliance. A partner in planning, engineering and operating dust-control and material-handling systems, Benetech helps companies assess challenges, establish priorities and achieve the results they require.

Churchill, Manitoba is a land of beluga whales, polar bears, and beauty

You’ve probably never heard of Churchill, Manitoba.  

With a population of just 899, this little Manitoba town is best known for the number of polar bears that congregate there during the fall — an event that's earned the town the nickname "The Polar Bear Capital of the World." 

Located just 68 miles from the Manitoba–Nunavut border on the northern tip of Manitoba, Churchill might just be the best kept secret in Canada. Along with the vast population of polar bears, those exploring the town can expect to see the starkly beautiful tundra, a wide river, beluga whales, many rare birds, and the Aurora Borealis.   Read more...

A granular look at societal tides in ‘Luna Gale’

It’s all well and good to pore over charts and graphs to understand our country’s domestic problems: rampant drug abuse; a gulf of understanding between the devoutly religious and the agnostic; raging poverty and the whole system of forces that conspire to keep the poor down, from exorbitant college costs to lack of job opportunities to simply not having connections, or even a single advocate, to help navigate life’s complications. But it’s stories like Aurora Theatre Company’s “Luna Gale” that make us feel in nerve and sinew the messiness, the intractability of our society’s woes.
