So, meet the candidates:
Barry, 80, of Ellwood City said he s the common sense candidate.
A retired businessman, he owned Barry s Service Station, a towing, service and repair shop, for over 50 years, but said his only expertise comes from decades of living and working in the community. I m nothing special, Barry said. I just listen to the issues coming up and make the best decision for the town.
He s finishing his first term back on the council after serving previously in the early 2000s, and is most proud of the work he s done to offer affordable and reliable electric and sewage services to locals.
Retailers will need some wooing in Penfolds charm drive
Share
Independent wine retailers say many of their customers gravitated long ago to other Australian fine wines and premium drops from France and Italy after allocations of Treasury Wine Estates’ flagship Penfolds Grange and other high-end Penfolds were increasingly directed to China.
They also say the $950 a bottle price tag for Penfolds Grange became a barrier.
Treasury Wine Estates chief executive Tim Ford on Thursday acknowledged the company had a lot of work to do to reconnect with independent retailers in Australia on the high-end Penfolds range, as the company seeks to redirect more of the wine which had been going to China.
