An old neighborhood friend will soon be sporting a new look.

The Max & Erma's restaurant in Kenwood, Ohio, 7800 Montgomery Rd., will close for an image enhancement at 9 p.m. on Sunday, April 27. When it reopens at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 9, the restaurant will sport a totally new look.

The interior decor will still feature walls adorned with the eclectic items that Max & Erma's made famous, but the new design will focus on larger items and less clutter.

"We're escaping from the sea of sameness and differentiating Max & Erma's in the casual dining market," Lindeman said. "Our new look reflects our heritage and separates us from the competition. We're still the Max & Erma's everyone loves — great food and service. We've simply created a new environment in which to enjoy our food."

The interior front of the Kenwood restaurant will be gutted and completely overhauled during the short time the store is closed. There will be more than 25 contractors working around the clock to complete the remodel.

The new design will feature elements of the new prototype unveiled last year. The elements include:

* Slate floors will be installed, replacing the wood;
* Colorful, hand-blown glass fixtures will replace metal fixtures;
* New table tops;
* Renovations to the restrooms including new hardware, tile and color schemes;
* A new, open floor plan.

The new exterior color will be cream with black accents, replacing the old yellow, green and red. The exterior also will have cultured stone, brick and awnings.

April 24 - Sarissa Resources Engages Auditor

Sarissa Resources, Inc. (OTC: SRSR) announced that the Company has engaged the services of an independent auditing firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of Sarissa Resources in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP) and to provide the Company's Board of Directors with an opinion on them in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Michael F. Albanese, CPA, has already begun the financial auditing process for Sarissa.

Sarissa president Scott Keevil stated, "With all of the recent progress that Sarissa has made, particularly the acquisition this year of the Nemegosenda carbonatite property, the board feels that hiring an independent auditor is a natural progression from the previously announced retention of an independent geological consulting firm." Sarissa has previously announced the engagement of Hawk Exploration Consultants to independently assess the extensive amount of historical work conducted on the Nemegosenda deposits.

Mr. Keevil, continued, "Our main priority is to keep focused on confirming the potential at Nemegosenda; but it's also time for us to look seriously at the corporate and listing structure of Sarissa in order to develop a strategy that ensures our shareholders start to see the value of their holdings getting an adequate reflection in the market, and this is another step down that road."
