Ground broken on second phase of Youngstown development project
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – A major makeover is taking another step forward on Youngstown's South Side.
Wednesday morning, the ground was broken on phase two of the Bernard Street Project. This is off Glenwood Avenue, just three blocks south of Interstate 680.
The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation has already built three new homes in the area, and now, crews are getting started on three more.
Other houses on the street were also given repairs, plus sidewalks and curbs were added. The street has also been renamed Cliffview Avenue.
The total cost for the project is $2 million.

BOLD Laser Automation Launches Cost-Effective Precision Measurement Systems
BEDFORD, N.H., June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bold Laser Automation, Inc., a developer of advanced laser processing and metrology systems, today announced the launch of two precision measurement systems engineered to deliver fast, accurate, and repeatable non-contact measurements for sensitive materials in cleanroom and high-tech manufacturing environments. The new LJS1820S Manual 3D Static Measurement System and CDM1820S Confocal Differential Static Measurement System provide manufacturers with cost-effective, operator-friendly tools for critical quality control and contamination detection applications. "Many manufacturers struggle to achieve high-accuracy thickness and surface measurements without resorting to overly complex or costly systems," said Todd Lizotte, CEO and co-founder of Bold Laser Automation. "At BOLD, we believe in delivering high performance without overengineering—systems that are designed to solve real problems without turning into million-dollar solutions." The LJS1820S system is purpose-built for precision 3D contamination detection and surface analysis. Equipped with dual Keyence LJ-S series snapshot sensors, the system performs full-area 3D inspections that reveal particulate contamination, surface defects, and embedded residues—ideal for cleanroom and advanced materials manufacturing. A static, ESD-safe platform with an optional footswitch for hands-free data capture enhances ease of use and repeatability. Complementing this, the CDM1820S system is optimized for precision thickness measurement of thin films, foils, glass, fabrics, and sensitive materials (from 10 microns up to 35 mm, based on the sensor). Integrated with dual Keyence CL Series confocal sensors, the CDM1820S enables non-contact, high-resolution measurements with real-time display and configurable reporting. Like the LJS1820S, it features a customizable user interface and an optional footswitch-activated acquisition system. "These systems were designed with practicality in mind—manual positioning, intuitive interfaces, and data exports for QA/QC reporting are all standard," added Lizotte. "The CDM1820S system sets a new benchmark for manual thickness measurement systems where traceability, accuracy, and operator safety are top priorities." Key uses include: The ability to verify thickness for applications involving carbon fiber composites, plastic films, ultra-thin glass (250+ microns), web, textiles, food packaging, and aerospace and automotive components. The ability to randomly take witness samples or punch coupons for offline measurements, a critical task for both quality assurance and material savings. Both platforms are U.S.-built and meet cleanroom electrical and safety standards. They feature ergonomic designs, robust mechanical enclosures, integrated computer systems, and clear documentation to support installation, operation, and compliance workflows. UI and reporting tools allow for seamless integration into existing QA/QC processes. These new systems underscore Bold Laser Automation's commitment to delivering economical, high-performance solutions tailored to the evolving needs of modern manufacturers. About Bold Laser AutomationBold Laser Automation, Inc., specializes in precision laser and metrology systems for industries ranging from biomedical device manufacturing to precision glass and optics processing. The company delivers custom and standard automation solutions that help manufacturers meet demanding quality, speed, and regulatory requirements—without unnecessary complexity or cost.

Coffee Holding Co., Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results and New Dividend.
STATEN ISLAND, New York, June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (Nasdaq: JVA) (the 'Company,' 'our' or 'we') announced its operating results for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025. Earnings increased to $.11 cents per share this fiscal quarter compared to a slight loss in second quarter of 2024. Revenues increased 22% compared to second quarter of 2024. 'We are pleased to report another quarter of strong results to our shareholders' said Andrew Gordon, President and CEO of Coffee Holding Company Inc. 'We grew sales by 22% while maintaining last quarter's 19% gross margin on our revenues, in spite of our losing money on our largest wholesale supermarket customer during the quarter, due to a prior contractual obligation at lower green coffee market pricing. In addition, our revenues growth was achieved with lower selling, general and administrative expenses, indicating that future revenues growth may be achieved more efficiently to improve our bottom line results. Although the quarter proved challenging, I believe we navigated the situation well to produce a positive outcome for our shareholders. Early February saw Arabica prices trade up 12 consecutive days to lifetime highs, up over $1.00/lb. or 25% in a little over three weeks. This rapid, unprecedented move in green coffee prices forced us to initiate another round of price increases for our private label and branded coffee products. Unfortunately, price increases to these customers typically have a delayed effect and thus our gross margins and profitability on these accounts were negatively affected for several weeks during the quarter. However, all increases are now in effect and our results moving forward should reflect this fact. Following February's dramatic market move, the announcement of potential tariffs on imports of coffee spooked the market in early April; sending coffee prices sharply lower, as macro and future demand concerns weighed on market sentiment. We were opportunistic during the selloff, extending inventory positions ahead of the potentially negative effects of tariffs; providing us with additional inventory coverage at lower 'tariff free' market price levels. Because of this, we believe these tariffs, along with the rebound in the green coffee market, will give us a slight tailwind to start the third quarter, as many of our competitors have been forced to increase prices to most customers, thus giving us a competitive advantage for the immediate future. This is extremely important as our sales of our Café Caribe and Café Supremo continue to remain strong in the highly competitive Latin espresso coffee space. The results from our recent acquisition, Empire Coffee Company, were also encouraging as we cut our loss from the first quarter in half and increased our sales by quarter's end to the level which Empire was at prior to their descent on tough times. We believe that this business, Second Empire, will be accretive to earnings by the end of our next quarter, confirming the anticipated turnaround in operations in a much shorter time frame than we had hoped for when we originally assessed the acquisition opportunity. Lastly, we are happy to announce that we will be resuming our annual dividend of 33% of net earnings for the first time in many years, as we believe our year end results will reflect both an improved increase in free cash flow and working capital' ended Andrew Gordon.
