Talented Architect Alex Bykov Designed his Own Modern Apartment

By: Lacey-Jane Walsh - Published: • References: & dornob
Creative Ukrainian architect Alex Bykov, who believes that homes should reflect the people who live in them, recently designed his own stunning loft. This living space was created to reflect the personality of this clever designer. Bykov has titled this open concept loft design ‘Constant Motion.’

This striking abode is both luxurious and quirky. It’s perfectly suited to youthful individuals who are always on the go (much like Bykov).  The kitchen is found at the center of this home, surrounded by a bathroom, bedroom, lounge area and library.

The bathroom in this loft screams luxury. It’s covered in black tiles, and the wooden counter surrounding the sink looks extremely modern. The homes library was built on a raised wooden surface, which helps to separate it from the living room. It appears as though Bykov has installed a projector in his living room rather than buying a TV, which speaks to personality.

This loft blends brick walls and wooden surfaces with stainless steel appliances and modern fixtures in a way that’s visually intriguing. Stats for Personality-Reflecting Lofts Trending: Older & Buzzing

Nudie Jeans Show How Their Products are Made

By: Jordy Eleni - Published: • References: nudiejeans & youtube
Nudie Jeans released a limited edition line of recycled jeans this past December. Named the 'Nudie Post Recycle Dry Jeans,' the slim-fitting denim was created by way of a rigorous process involving the cutting, milling and blending of old Nudie Jeans with virgin organic cotton.

The result of the manufacturing process, which was a team effort with denim company ISKO(tm), is a remarkably soft brand of jeans that appear slightly rustic with their marks of recycled yarn. With a distinct indigo tinge, these jeans represent the latest in sustainable clothing.

Unfortunately for the forerunners of men’s fashion, only 500 Post Recycle Dry Nudie Jeans have been produced and are currently being sold exclusively in the U.S. at Barneys NYC. However, for those willing to get their hands on a pair of Nudie Jeans for a cool $215, rest assured that a denim ensemble with these jeans will likely not be duplicated by friends.

The Fakes Project in Argentina

By: Hernando Gomez Salinas - Published: • References: flickr & theuncoolhunter
The Proyecto Falsos (Fakes Project) are fakes of certain cartoon characters (generally children's cartoons) that proliferate in Argentinian streets, mainly in carousels, children's hairdressers and fun fares. An involuntary and mis-shapen museum of copies: a Mickey Mouse that looks like a dog, tabby Pink Panthers, Batmans eating cotton candies, bewitched Bart Simpsons, psychedelic Popeyes:.

Everything about these cartoons is mysterious and fascinating. Who drew them? Is he a cynic, a self-conscious cartoonist? Or is he a touching and authentic lover of cartoons, a pure soul? What is his overall vision when painting? Is there a model? Or does the brush determine its whimsical directions till reaching these surprising versions? Where do these drawings come from? Why are they repeated over and over again?

Grown-ups who draw for kids and they do it as if they were kids, fake and hallucinatory reproductions of grotesque heroes, rusted action figures that have lost the colors and insist on laughing, always far away and always at a step from disappearing, always at meters from forgiveness.

Juan Pablo Cambariere, the artist who promotes this idea often says that there is a weird beauty behind all of this.

The Tie-Dyed Cheesecake is a Kaleidoscopic Dessert

When spring finally greets the world with its warm whether and green foliage, people might want to celebrate with a slice of tie-dyed cheesecake. That is, if a person is passing through Summerville, South Carolina, and has a minute to stop by the Mellow Mushroom, a pizzeria first launched in Atlanta, Georgia.

Discovered by redditor shorty12075, the tie-dyed cheesecake boasts a riot of vibrant kaleidoscopic colors that could easily have been found on a t-shirt at one point in the '70s.

Tyranny both at home and afar

Earlier this month President Obama told graduates at The Ohio State University that they should not listen to the voices that warn of tyranny in our country. Of course, since then, it has been revealed that the IRS has been targeting those who disagree with the administration and that the Department of Justice spied on reporters from the AP and Fox News, demonstrating that those who have warned of tyranny were correct.

Sun. 10:05pm: Ohio college investing in cancer care expansion

June 9, 2013
Tribune Chronicle |

CINCINNATI (AP) - The University of Cincinnati is investigating heavily in expanding cancer care, hoping to become the go-to provider for patients in the Cincinnati metropolitan region.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the school and its health system have committed $65 million to expanded cancer care.

Most of the money has been for recruiting doctors and setting up clinical programs. UC officials explain that the goal is to provide care locally for patients who have been going to centers around the country for complex treatments such as early ovarian cancer.

UC and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have said in the past they want to work together to gain designation from the National Cancer Institute. They say they need to make more investments before formally applying.

August 23, 2011 > New Haven test scores show progress

New Haven test scores show progress

Submitted By Rick La Plante

More New Haven Unified School District students are "advanced" and fewer are "far below basic" according to results of standardized tests taken during the 2010-11 school year.

According to STAR (Standardized Testing and Results) information released today by the California Department of Education, 25.1 percent of New Haven students scored "advanced" in English/language arts, up from 22.3 percent in 2008-09. Over the same three-year period, the percentage of students scoring "far below basic" has decreased from 7.2 to 6.3 percent.

"These scores demonstrate progress at both ends of the spectrum, even with all of the problems that have been forced upon us as our budget shrinks because of the state financial crisis," Superintendent Kari McVeigh said. "Our students, their parents and our teachers and support staff deserve a tremendous amount of credit for their hard work and perseverance."

At Emanuele Elementary School, 23.1 percent of students scored "advanced" in English/language arts, up from 15.5 percent in 2008-09. Meanwhile, the percentage of students scoring "far below basic" has dropped from 11.4 to 7.8 percent.

At Alvarado Elementary School, 26.9 percent of students scored "advanced," up from 18.6 percent in 2008-09. At James Logan High School, meanwhile, the percentage of students scoring "far below basic" dropped from 11.7 to 9.6 percent.

District-wide, the percentage of students scoring at or above standards in English/language arts on the California Standards Test - the predominant part of the STAR program - increased to 55 percent, up from 54 percent in 2009-10.

"Year after year, our concentrated focus on literacy is resulting in steady improvement," Superintendent McVeigh said. "It's incremental, but it's consistent, which I think is indicative of the fact we're doing the right work."

In ninth grade, 60 percent of students scored at or above standards in English/language arts on the CST, up from 54 percent last year.

The percentage of students scoring at or above standards in math decreased from 47 percent to 45 percent, but the decline actually was anticipated, Director of Assessment and Evaluation Craig Boyan noted, because the District increased access to advanced math courses at the secondary level, meaning more students moved beyond general math into algebra and geometry.

"For example, almost twice as many students in Grade 8 took algebra than in the prior year, and about half as many took general math," Mr. Boyan said. "Advancing these students to higher levels of math may initially result in some lower scores in the general math courses, which should improve as adjustments are made in future years."

Mr. Boyan also noted that CST scores should be evaluated with caution.

"Current research has shown that the CSTs are of varying degrees of difficulty (from grade to grade or from course to course)," he said. "Therefore, caution should be used in using CST scores to compare the effectiveness of instruction programs from one grade level or course to another."

Approximately 9,900 New Haven students took the STAR tests during April and May of 2011. Most students took the California Standards Tests (CSTs), which measure progress based on state curriculum content standards that are among the highest in the United States. Smaller numbers of students with special needs took one of two alternate assessments: the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA) and the California Modified Assessment (CMA).

STAR scores also help determine the state's Academic Performance Index (API) rankings and the federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) goals that will be released in September.

Sneeze causes accident that knocks out power

Submitted By AP Wire Service

WINONA, Minn. (AP), Mar 16 - A sneezing driver is to blame for a power outage in Winona.

Police say Travers DeWitte inadvertently stepped on the gas when a sneeze erupted, sending his vehicle across an intersection, up a curb and into a guy wire attached to a power pole.

The crash snapped the cable, which flew up and severed a power line, cutting service to about 1,300 Xcel Energy customers Wednesday. Police tell the Winona Daily News ( ) that sparks from the broken line ignited a small grass fire which quickly burned itself out. Power was later restored.

July 10, 2012 > Walk Your Way to Better Health

Walk Your Way to Better Health

Washington Women's Center Lunch and Learn Can Help You Get Started

Walking is a great way to improve your health and overall sense of wellbeing. You don't need a gym membership or any special equipment other than a good pair of shoes. But getting started can be challenging.

"Sometimes taking that first step is hard, but with a little help it can be as easy as putting one foot in front of the other," said Karen Sindelar, a therapeutic health coach at the Washington Women's Center. "Our bodies are designed to walk. Walking is the one form of exercise you can continue to do as you age, even if you need a cane or a walker."

Sindelar will offer strategies for getting started and tips for increasing your walking time at an upcoming Lunch and Learn class at the Washington Women's Center located at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont. The free "Walk with Ease" class will be held on Thursday, July 19, from 12 to 1 p.m. You can register online at or call (510) 608-1301 for more information.

The "Walk with Ease" program is affiliated with the Arthritis Foundation and is for people of all abilities, whether you already do some walking or need a cane or walker to get around. Everyone will leave the class ready to build their own individualized walking plan that fits their needs.

"Even though we will be in a group setting, you'll be able to use what we cover to create your own customized walking program in a way that works best for you," Sindelar said. "I'll help you figure out what motivates you and how you can use that to stick with it."

Health Benefits

Sindelar will talk about some of the many health benefits of walking. She said a big reason is more energy. Walking strengthens the heart and conditions muscles, giving you more stamina.

It can help with weight loss and efforts to maintain a healthy weight. The Diabetes Prevention Program showed that exercising just 150 minutes a week and losing 7 percent of body weight can reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes by 58 percent.

Walking keeps the bones strong, which is particularly important as you get older and the risk of osteoporosis increases. While men can develop osteoporosis, it is much more common in women. As you age, calcium can be absorbed back into the body from the bones, making the bones weaker.

Walking also lubricates the muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments, reducing the pain and stiffness that can come with arthritis. According to Sindelar, it also helps the body move toxins out of its system by stimulating the lymph, and it oxygenates the cells.

"When the cells in the body have more oxygen, they are better equipped to fight off disease," she said.

Exercise Caution

Sindelar will offer tips that will help participants be successful and also stay safe. For example, wearing appropriate shoes, walking with a buddy or letting someone know where and how long you are walking, carrying identification and a cell phone if you have one, protecting yourself from the sun, and staying hydrated.

She said it's also important not to expect too much right away. She recommended easing into it and increasing your distance and effort gradually over time.

"Everybody has this idea in mind about how far they should be able to go," she added. "Maybe you want to walk as far as you could five years ago, or whatever arbitrary target comes to mind. Part of being successful is being patient and consistent, one foot in front of the other, knowing that soon enough you'll want to go farther and work a little harder. Better to start off slow and have it feel good when you're done, than push too hard and be hurting."

She said it's also important to walk at a pace that works for you. "So if you walk with a partner or a group of people, make sure their pace matches yours or communicate the speed you need to go today," she said.

The interactive session will include some walking and time for questions. Sindelar will also talk about warming up and help participants determine what type of shoe might work best for them.

"This class is open to all fitness levels and walking abilities," Sindelar said. "Walking is good for everyone who is able to do it - to any degree. It helps us all feel better, both physically and mentally."

Staying in Cannaregio

Neighborhood Profile
Cannaregio is the second largest sestiere (district) with its busy Santa Lucia train station. Many transplanted Venetians commute from the outlying areas, “terra firma” to the locals, which is shorthand for any place that is not Venice. Two Grand Canal bridges serve Cannaregio, the newest (Constitution, 2008) still a local hotbed of controversy. Ponte degli Scalzi is a busy link to the train station. Nearby shops on the Lista di Spagna offer specialties like pastries and coffee that lure Venetians with a down-to-earth attitude. The Ghetto, where the Jewish population was segregated in Cannaregio, has five historic synagogues with an active Jewish community. The Fondamente Nove bustles with foot traffic to the Rialto and San Marco while vaporettos (water taxis) head to Murano and other islands. Side streets lead into quiet picturesque neighborhoods and palaces like Ca' d'Oro rise directly out of the water.

Footprints: The Finch's road to Del Norte County

April 13, 2007 12:00 am

Captain Joseph Gray married Bell Inda Crosier in Ireland. Their son Loftus Crosier Gray was born in County Wexford, Ireland on March 13, .

The family immigrated to America and settled in Chicago to raise their growing family. During a cholera epidemic Bell and a daughter, Fannie, both contracted the disease and died. They were buried somewhere in Chicago.

Loftus Gray was a veteran of the Civil War. After the war ended he headed west. He first settled in Humboldt County, but later moved to the Chetco Valley, Oregon. Loftus bought a ranch near the ranch of William McVay, a son of Hutson and Elizabeth McVay.

Loftus and his wife Mary had five daughters and five sons. One of their daughters was Bell Inda Gray, born on May 28, 1854.

Mary Gray died April 4, 1927. Loftus and Mary Gray are both buried in the Smith River Cemetery.

Finch eyes the west

Daniel Finch Sr. was the son of a Methodist minister, John Finch, who had moved from Illinois to Madison County, Missouri.

Daniel Finch Sr. married Lucinda McVay in Madison County in 1846. Lucinda was the daughter of Hutson and Elizabeth McVay. Daniel and Lucinda had four children; Elizabeth, John, Zachariah, and Daniel Wesley Finch.

Daniel Finch Sr. moved to San Francisco in 1849 and opened a blacksmith shop. The Civil War was brewing and he wanted to go west and establish a business and eventually bring his family west. He returned to Missouri in 1853 with the intent of moving his family to San Francisco. That was not to be.

Daniel Finch was killed in 1853 after he returned to Missouri as a result of escalating violence which was brewing, leading up to the Civil War. Lucinda was left with three young children and was also pregnant.

Further west

On November 10, 1853 Lucinda Finch married her second husband Daniel Goby Otto. Daniel Wesley Finch was born to Lucinda Otto on March 19, 1854. Daniel and Lucinda Otto had three children while they were living in Newton County, Missouri.

In 1860 Hutson McVay organized and was captain of a wagon train heading west. All of his children except his oldest daughter Elizabeth also were part of the western move. Elizabeth remained in Missouri with her husband and children.

Daniel and Lucinda Otto also joined the wagon train with their children. They settled in Smith River to raise their family. Daniel and Lucinda Otto had seven more children after they arrived in Del Norte County.

Violent robbery at local store

By Anthony Skeens, The Triplicate January 08, 2014 04:03 pm

Gunman assaults clerk, flees with undisclosed cash

A local auto parts store was the scene of a violent robbery Monday morning.

Around 7 a.m., a man wearing a mask and brandishing a handgun walked into O’Reilly Auto Parts store through the back door as the store was opening for business, according to a press release from the Crescent City Police Department.

The man demanded money from a store clerk, who complied, then was assaulted by the robbery suspect, the CCPD stated. Chief Doug Plack declined to elaborate on the nature of the assault due to the ongoing investigation. The clerk did not require hospitalization.

The man then ran with an undisclosed amount of cash through the back door and continued north. He was described as white, 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 7 inches tall, 20–27 years old, with a  slender build and a goatee.

He was loitering around trash containers at the rear of the building waiting for the store to open, the CCPD stated.

Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to call the CCPD at 464-2133 or the Sheriff’s Office dispatch at 464-4191. To remain anonymous, call the Crescent City Crime Tip Line at 218-4229.

Avery Art and Antiques
The birdlike character of this handsome and well-balanced walking stick has not been "enhanced" by carving. Its feel is lustrous and attractive and its strength makes it suitable for leisurely strolling or for cracking the skulls of untoward varlets. Approximately 34 inches in length, it is in excellent condition. Nineteenth Century, probably American.
All Items : Antiques : Decorative Art : Metals : Silver : Sterling : Pre 1900 item #21607 (stock #147AAA)
A quite baronial product is this straight-sided sterling silver mug by the Whiting Manufacturing Company of Providence, R.I. With domino rim top and bottom, it bears a wonderful strapped and banded design over most of the body, centering on a Gothick-style cypher of a K interlocked with E and M. Superb condition, approximately 3-1/2 inches tall by 4-1/2 inches wide at the handle. Circa 1875.
All Items : Antiques : Furnishings : Lighting : Ceiling Fixtures : Pre 1800 item #43519 (stock #219AAA)
A Gustavian lighting fixture of exceptional beauty is this crystal chandelier in exceptionally fine condition and quality. The crystals are all fully cut -- not molded --and exceptionally brilliant, typical of Swedish pieces of this period. In classic fountain cascade form, there are four arms for candles; they have never been wired for electricity. It is approximately 34 inches tall by 24 inches in diameter. Circa 1800.
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Oil : Europe : British : Pre 1800 item #1285102
"He is covered with stars, ribbons and medals, more like a Prince of the Opera than the Conqueror of the Nile. It is really melancholy to see a brave and good man, who has deserved well of his country, cutting so pitiful a figure." This was written by General Sir John Moore upon receiving this painting of his friend and fellow defender of England, Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson...
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Cufflinks and Accessories : Gold : Pre 1930 item #1051932
These fine Gatsby-Era cuff links of lemon-yellow 14-karat gold sport a simple pattern of engraved stripes on all faces. Weight: .2885 oz.
All Items : Antiques : Regional Art : Asian : Indian Subcontinent : India : Pre 1900 item #1168620
So sleek and elegant as to seem Art Deco this excellent rosewood is veneered in carefully matched palmyrawood and ebony veneers. Joins are made with ebony pegs. The full-length hinge and lock plate (no key) are superb quality. Interior is unlined and there is a pin-seal leatherette covering to the bottom. Condition is first rate, with few signs of age or use. Approximately 15-1/4 inches long by 4-7/8 inches wide by 3-3/4 inches to top of gently domed top.
All Items : Antiques : Regional Art : Oceanic : Pre 1910 item #918783
This fine and simple Hawaiian napkin ring in radiant koawood is a beautifully preserved example of the sort of work turned out by the Hilo Boarding School. Circa 1900, about 1-1/2 inches high by 1-3/4 inches in diameter.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Gold : Pre 1980 item #1054063
With heavy, solid links, this 14-karat gold bracelet weighs in at 1.5675 ounces. It has an excellent safety clasp with extra snap-lock. American, circa 1970.
All Items : Vintage Arts : Regional Art : Americas : Latin American : Pre 1940 item #314948 (stock #362AAA)
This fine knife exemplifies the elegant, Aztec-inspired style for which famous Mexican silversmith/designer Hector Aguilar was known. Measuring approximately six inches by 1-1/4 inches, it dates from around 1935.
All Items : Traditional Collectibles : Books : Bindings : Pre 1700 item #777266
Monumental treatise by Bizot, Amsterdam, 1689, on the large output of medallions struck in Renaissance Holland, with engravings of hundreds of examples, in three volumes, including the large supplement of 1690, with an addendum describing and illustrating the tomb of William of Orange in Delft. The books are in healthy condition, retaining most of their original, gold-tooled leather binding.
All Items : Antiques : Decorative Art : Metals : Pre 1910 item #531243
One of the most sought-after promotional items is the Huntley & Palmer lithographed tin biscuit box that masquerades as a collection of the Waverley novels of Sir Walter Scott, “Rob Roy,” “Ivanhoe,” “Guy Mannering,” etc. Here is a remarkably well-preserved example, the colors brilliant and the “leather belt” and gilt edges in pristine condition. With the height and width of approximately 6-1/2 inches and the depth 4-3/4 inches, it is English and dates from about 1900.
All Items : Antiques : Regional Art : Asian : Japanese : Porcelain : Pre 1700 item #14938 (stock #69AAA)
Here is a magnificent charger which balances bold authority with delicate detail. Around a central medallion of the Three Friends -- pine, prunus and bamboo -- in gilt-highlighted underglaze blue with red-touched border are panels of deep blue and lustrous gilding alternating with lively scenes of flowers and rocks visited by butterflies and phoenixes, symbolizing good fortune.

Hey lady, sorry for the delay getting back to ya. We were away when you posted. I got notice you replied on my phone but sometimes responding from that doesn't post. IDK why not. This is the first I've been on since my last post. The parts sales have been increasing like crazy and I find myself spending most of the time packaging items for Fishin Pole then doing random work around the house and garden when I'm not preparing shipments.

Sooo, the recent spawn didn't even make it to free swim stage. We're sure eventually one of the spawns will survive it's just a matter of time. Little buggers have to let some survive sometime!

On the bright side the newest guppy addition (Japan Blue) has dropped a good amount of fry. She had one male of the nine that remained and is ready to drop again. Not to mention that many of the females from that drop are hit too. The reds continue to reproduce and to be honest I really have to make time to post some. Don't want to post trios at this point, want to replenish the female supply. After the trade we made -- four trios of the reds for some of the JP's, a male albino galaxy, and some Tequila Sunrise -the Tequila's didn't survive -- the number of females left weren't high. The most recent drop in the reds tank though is VERY plentiful, so maybe in time we can sell trios. For now though we'd like to list the males who continue to be plentiful and gorgeous!

The albino red galaxies are coming along very well too. From one drop we got three males and we got one new male in the trade so some new blood in the breeding tank

Any-hoooo, I pop on here at random now and will keep you posted on the angels parenting status

Snail battle

So i witnessed 2 snails fighting, at least i think it was fighting. Two of those little brown snails that just multiply were on the front glass going in circles and whipping their shells at each other. We tried to take a video but it didnt turn out well.

Has anybody seen this before? And is it fighting or mating, cause i thought they were asexual.

I don't know for sure but I have witnessed this too. I thought it was mating considering the huge numbers showing up in my tank. I am currently over feeding to give the fry a fighting chance. I am not going to buy another tank for the fry but I want to give them a chance. I might regret that as the snails are trying to take over and the tank will be really full if all the fry grow to adulthood. lol

1 snail that has never been exposed to any other snail from the day it was born can turn to hundreds! Snails don't need partners to produce more snails. One hitch-hiking snail can cause a huge infestation! You need to use a method to control and eventially elimanate the snails.

You can put lettuce at the bottom of the aquarium and let it sit overnight. Turn the lights off. Come back next morning and remove the piece of lettuce covered with snails. Snails are nocternal so it would have to be early in the morning.

There are several ways to elimanate snails. Just do a little bit of internet research and use the one you like best.

What kind of fry are you raising in there?

Hope this helps!

I like my snails, I purposely add more food for them and the shrimp.

Now not only do they have intense battle, at least 1 has the ability to swim. I watched one hover in the water in front of a leaf, another (or possibly the same one) very slowly drop from a leaf to the ground, and then another (quite possibly the very same) go from the gravel to the top of the water attached to nothing.

One arrested, two sought in Colonie home invasion

COLONIE >> Police have arrested one man and are looking for two others after a home invasion burglary Monday night.

Armani R. Parker, 18, of Watervliet, is charged with first-degree burglary, a felony, and was arraigned in Colonie Justice Court Tuesday night and remanded to Albany County Correctional Facility without bail.

Police say at 11:45 p.m. Monday, a male resident aged 56 of a first-floor apartment in Third Avenue was investigating a noise he heard when he was approached by three men and struck in the head with a silver handgun. He fell to the ground and saw two of the men enter his apartment, while the third stood over him.

The resident yelled to a female resident inside the apartment to get out; she fled and the invaders also fled, according to a press release from police.

The woman, aged 53, was found on the neighbor’s lawn bleeding from a head injury, and police say it appeared she suffered blunt force trauma to the head.

Both victims were treated at Albany Medical Center Hospital and the man was released. The condition of the female victim is unknown, but her injuries are not believed to be life threatening, police said.

Nothing was reported stolen from the residence.

“This is not a random incident and the male resident stated that the suspects were looking for marijuana and/or cash and that he may be familiar with at least one of the suspects,” said a press release from Colonie Police.

Police say the male resident, Joseph A. Berghela, has stopped cooperating with the investigation. The female victim spoke with police Wednesday afternoon and is being cooperative, said police spokesman Lt. Robert Winn.

The suspects were described as three black males: one in his 20s with a red-hooded sweatshirt (Parker), one in his 30s, taller, with a white-hooded sweatershirt, and the last, age unknown, with a stocky build and blue-hooded sweatshirt.

Policie ask anyone with information about this crime or the identity of the suspects to contact the Colonie Police Department at 783-2744.

Schwerman Trucking Co. Celebrates 100 Years

May 13, 2013

SHARING TOOLS        | Print Subscribe

Schwerman Trucking Co. announced the 100th anniversary of the company. A century after its founder, Fred Schwerman, Sr. built the first truck to haul agricultural products to local markets, his grandson, Jack Schwerman is proud to lead this dry bulk carrier.

Founded in 1913, Schwerman Trucking Co. will commemorate the milestone with a celebration with suppliers, customers, employees, retirees, family and other significant supporters in June at the company headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisc.

Fred Schwerman, Sr. led the company that bears his name for three decades, and he expanded the company from delivery of produce to hauling road construction materials and then began bidding on road construction jobs in Wisconsin. Later as a part of the war effort, Schwerman Trucking dedicated a large part of its fleet to hauling bomb casings for A. O. Smith.

Fred J. Schwerman gained valuable experience while working with his father, Fred Sr. and was able to apply what he had learned as he transitioned into a leadership role after his father suffered a heart attack. Later during World War II, Fred J. Schwerman designed and built the first enclosed screw tank trailer. Up to this point, dry bulk products such as cement were hauled via rail cars and over the road in individual packages. The invention provided the ability to load quickly and directly out of the cement silos, deliver directly to the construction site and unload at a much faster pace.

In the 50’s after President Eisenhower signed the Federal Highway Act, the cement and dry bulk transportation industry experienced explosive growth and Schwerman Trucking opened new terminals throughout the eastern half of the United States. Fred J. Schwerman took the company public in 1965.

The funds gathered as a result were used to purchase a liquid bulk hauler. By diversifying into the liquid market, Schwerman was able to reduce the impact of the seasonal and cyclical nature of the dry bulk industry.

Jack Schwerman, Fred’s son, assumed a leadership position at the young age of twenty-nine. Jack Schwerman led a majority equity share repurchase and returned Schwerman Trucking Company into the privately held, family-owned company it was founded as.

At present, Schwerman Trucking Company is part of Tankstar, USA, a holding company made up of individually operated companies, formed to provide centralized corporate office processes thereby affording cost savings and efficiencies for all its companies.

The company currently operates nationwide serving customers in all 48 contiguous states as well as Mexico and Canada.
