Birch Bay water sewer district looking for ways to help clients
Published on Wed, Feb 5, 2014 by
Nathan Dalla Santa
Read More
Customers of the Birch Bay Water and Sewer District (BBWSD) may soon see a new addition to their monthly bills – the option to make a donation to help a neighbor in need.
At the January 23 BBWSD meeting, commissioners considered adding a donation box on customers' monthly utility statement to help raise funds for a Birch Bay arm of the Community Assistance Program (CAP), a nonprofit organization that works to help residents who are in need. The donation option would be similar to the warm-home fund donation system offered by Puget Sound Energy and the CAP program that is already established in Blaine.
"For years now, the Community Assistance Program has been assisting Whatcom County residents in getting basic utilities and, for years now, this has been benefiting our customers," said BBWSD finance director Sandi McMillan. Civic organizations, churches and residents in Whatcom County volunteer to operate the Community Assistance Program (CAP).
CAP director Jerry Williams said the idea for the donation program began around 15 years ago in Blaine, and at the beginning of each month the organization receives information from the city on how much money has been collected through the utility statements. They are then able to delegate the funds as needed – the process would be similar in Birch Bay. "It's a very positive thing that gives everyone in the community an opportunity to be a giver instead of just a taker," he said. "It's a terrific relationship we're looking forward to establishing."
District assistant manager Dan Eisses hopes the measure will be approved at the board of commissioners meeting in February. Once approved, it will take a few months for the donation option to begin appearing on customers' bills.
"It isn't our intention to shift the burden onto district customers," said BBWSD president Don Montfort. "We're trying to broaden the source of money [the CAP] has to work with."
There are between 10 and 12 Birch Bay residents who currently benefit from Community Assistance Program resources at any given time, McMillan said. Although the program aims to help residents in Blaine, Custer and Birch Bay, the money gathered through Birch Bay district donations will be kept in a separate fund, operated by CAP, which will be reserved for Birch Bay district customers.
Williams said the organization is very cautious about how the money is spent – it is generally reserved for emergency use only. "We generally only offer financial help once a year, when someone is in a situation that is quite critical," he said. "But the BBWSD is very concerned about being able to help the people they serve, and this is one way they can help provide that assistance."
Money collected through donations is kept in an escrow fund, which gains interest over the years. In exchange for monthly donations from BBWSD, the CAP will give quarterly reports to the BBWSD commissioners, explaining how the money is being used. "I approached them 18 months ago about this," Williams said. "And they were already considering the same thing. I just walked in at the right time."
In other district news, BBWSD's plan to construct a new headworks for their wastewater treatment plant is underway. The project, which is supposed to increase the plant's wastewater treatment capacity from about 2.5 million to 4 million gallons per day, has been in the planning stage since 2012. Award Construction, the contractor selected for the job, broke ground at the construction site at the end of December and crews started pouring concrete for the new indoor facility on January 29.
Eisses expects the project to be completed by September.

Master of Science / Areas of Concentration
Material Systems
The Master of Science concentration in Material Systems is a 2.5 semester (fall, winter, spring half), 36 credit-hour post-professional degree that introduces participants to intensive project-based research methodologies and design practices advancing the exploration of new materials and adaptive systems in their formation, assembly, and instrumentalized performance for architectural applications. A material system can be described as a spatial assembly that is formed through complex feedbacks between matter – its behavior and characteristics – and form, structure, energies, manufacturing processes, and interaction with environmental as well as human agents.
This program responds to recent shifts in the architectural paradigm. At one time, in the words of le Corbusier, architecture was described as the "masterly, correct and magnificent play of masses brought together in light." Now our attention is turned far more intently to the processes of formation and production that define these "masses" – which are increasingly understood as thickly layered assemblies with very specific material characteristics and environmental behaviors. They are not just in light, they shape and control it; as well as energy, air, humidity, acoustics, and with increasing frequency, information. Not only are we developing a deeper understanding of the characteristics and behaviors of materials themselves, but also we are now able to synthesize entirely new materials – polymers, composites, fibers, smart and energy converting materials. This, combined with the increasing sophistication and pervasiveness of processes for computationally driven design and fabrication technologies, has radically changed the design, composition, and modes of production of everything from clothing to cars – and architecture is trying to catch up.
Designing within this paradigm requires new tools, skills, and methods. This is where the Master of Science in Architecture concentration in Material Systems program is focused. The program fosters an understanding of materials - physically and also chemically – as well as the logics, processes, and machines that give them form. The program is also based in a deep engagement with computational tools that extends beyond form-finding and fabrication logics. The work is based in an understanding that material itself, intrinsically, has the capacity to compute, to process and exchange information with its environment. Candidates learn to develop design processes that begin working with matter's own computation, and its informational exchange with the forces of its environment, to develop instrumentalized spatial and physical forms. This methodology involves iterations that move between the digital and physical model environment, and culminates in operational prototypes and their evaluation. The move into the physical environment requires an understanding, and often a manipulation, of the tools of fabrication, manufacture and assembly. Ideal applicants to the program should have some prior experience with computational design and/or the digital fabrication environment. Computation can also be mechanically implemented within the material system through electronic and mechatronic components such as sensors, microprocessors, motors and actuators. A stream of research in this program focuses on responsive systems and the variety of performative capabilities that are availed through the integration of these technologies into architectural assemblies.
Due to the complexity of the design, simulation and physical development of Material Systems, the work is undertaken collaboratively, often with interdisciplinary inputs. Candidates will work in small teams with the program faculty to advance active areas of current research. The program also has connections with faculty in the departments of Material Science, Engineering, Computer Science, Interaction, Art & Design and the Center for Sustainable Systems, who are undertaking related research, and with whom members of group can learn from and collaborate. Taubman College and the University of Michigan possess unique resources, such as the Taubman College FAB Lab, the Duderstadt Center, the Environmental and Water Resources Engineering Lab, and the Engineering Research Center for Wireless Integrated MicroSystems (WIMS ERC). The Southeast Michigan region positions candidates in close proximity to some of the most advanced manufacturing facilities worldwide.

I used one of my dress blocks and a vintage 60s dress to get the silhouette and then cut the lines for the color-blocking. I made this as a costume but I think it works as a basic color blocked dress if I don't wear my combadge.

It's a big day for Ryan Rauschenberger, former state Deputy Tax Commissioner.
Governor Jack Dalrymple appointed Rauschenberger as North Dakota's new Tax Commissioner.
Cory Fong is resigning in December and Rauschenberger was next in line to fill out the rest of Fong's term.
Several republican state officials have stepped down from their positions before fulfilling the full term in recent history.
Dalrymple says he's understands that that happens.
"Opportunities do come up for people while they're in public office and sometimes they are really outstanding opportunities. So I think over the years we've understood, you know, that people are always trying to fill out their term if possible but, you know, life isn't always like that," says Governor Jack Dalrymple.
Fong's term ends at the end of 2014.
Rauschenberger says he is interested in running for the job.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

3 Big Tech Stocks on Traders' Radars
Nearest Resistance: $6.50
Nearest Support: $5.25
Catalyst: Earnings Beat
>>5 Stocks the Smart Money Hates -- But Should You?It's a rare double-digit day for Groupon ( GRPN) today -- at least as of this writing -- following an earnings beat for the first quarter of 2013. Groupon has been a perennial underperformer since its IPO in late 2011, and the 76% decline in the stock's price since going public is proof of that. But the 3 cents per share that the firm earned for the quarter bested investors' expectations, and that's all it took to spur a move higher in the stock. It's a little too early to call today's price action the start of something. From a technical standpoint, today's 10% jump higher isn't particularly important -- shares are still sitting in between resistance at $6.50 and support down at $5.25. And with GRPN's price fading this afternoon, I wouldn't exactly recommend throwing money at this stock right now. Caveat emptor.

There's a new normal in an old, colorful house off Regester Avenue in Anneslie.
It's one that requires a constant flow of caregivers to provide daily assistance for one of its residents, Laura Glaudemans.
Once a week, Laura, 23, visits the sixth floor of the Kennedy Krieger Institute, where she has treatments in a warm-water therapeutic pool that, above all else, take her out of her wheelchair and place her back on her feet.
For an hour every Tuesday afternoon, she and a therapist stand face-to-face, lock arms and walk slowly in step around the small pool. It's a small bit of exercise, though nothing like when Laura swam freestyle on the swim team at the Stoneleigh pool.
It's also the highlight of her week, a chance for Laura's life to, however remotely, resemble what it did when she was a child and metachromatic leukodystrophy was nothing more than a pair of words that would knock you out of a spelling bee.
Her parents, Paul and Darlene Glaudemans, say Laura was also a water ballerina at the pool, though Laura says she doesn't remember that. Her father assured that somewhere in the recesses of Laura's mind might be tucked a memory or two of twirling around in the community pool with her younger sister, Emily, now 21, or her childhood friends.
But like so many of the typically routine transmissions between the brain and the rest of her body, the message may have been lost.
"I think you did, sweetie," he told her.
She replied: "I don't know."
At a stage when Paul and Darlene Glaudemans should have been enjoying an empty nest in 2008, their middle daughter, Laura, moved back home after just one week at James Madison University and began taking classes locally.
Their youngest, Emily, was working at Razorbacks in Towson and taking classes at CCBC Essex, and their oldest, Tim, now 26, was also out on his own — although both lived just around the corner from the family's Anneslie home.
As far back as six years ago, the parents had noticed slight changes in Laura. With her back under their roof, the changes became more noticeable.
An avid reader who loves Nicholas Sparks books and People magazine, Laura sometimes needed her parents to read to her. A strong student in high school, she began to struggle with her school work. Her handwriting was nearly illegible and, worse, she couldn't recognize how far it had declined. Around the house, Laura asked her parents if they could bring her a bottle of water or fetch her laundry from the dryer.
"I'd look at her like, 'Come on, you can do that,' " Darlene said.
Laura insisted that nothing was wrong, but her parents began to believe otherwise.
"There was a lot of emotional suppression and anxiety," Darlene said. "That's hard to tease out because a lot of girls that are adolescent, they're going through so many things. They do act emotional sometimes. They do act moody sometimes. She wasn't all that different from her sister in some respects, and one's perfectly healthy and the other one, you know, has something really strange going on."
The biggest red flag, and ultimately, the moment that allowed the family to break through Laura's resistance, came on a walk Laura and Darlene took around the neighborhood in the spring of 2011. Laura fell twice, all the while pleading with her mother not to worry.
Her parents brought her to Greater Baltimore Medical Center and, after a myriad of tests, Laura was referred to Johns Hopkins' neurology department.
As the tests — and inconclusive results — piled up, doctors shared some of their theories with Paul and Darlene, who began their own online research. Darlene had an aunt with multiple sclerosis and Laura, then 21, was around the age where symptoms started to show. But that avenue proved to be a dead end.

Judith Crist, Zinging and Influential Film Critic, Dies at 90
Judith Crist, one of America's most widely read film critics for more than three decades and a provocative presence in millions of homes as a regular reviewer on the "Today" show, died Tuesday at her home in Manhattan. She was 90.
Her death was confirmed by her son, Steven.
Ms. Crist came to prominence at a time when film was breaking with the conventions of the Hollywood studio era while experiencing a resurgence in popularity, much of it fueled by baby boomers. She championed a new generation of American directors like Steven Spielberg, Sydney Pollack and Woody Allen and new actors like Robert De Niro and Faye Dunaway.
Her commentary had many homes: The New York Herald Tribune, where she was the first woman to be made a full-time critic for a major American newspaper; New York magazine, where she was the founding film critic; and TV Guide, which most defined her to readers. Her reviews appeared there for 22 years at a time when the magazine blanketed the country, reaching a peak readership of more than 20 million.
She was the "Today" show's first regular movie critic, a morning fixture on NBC from 1963 to 1973. And she wrote for Saturday Review, Gourmet and Ladies' Home Journal.
A Harris Poll of moviegoers in the 1960s cited her as their favorite critic. In 1968, Film Quarterly called her "the American critic with the widest impact on the mass audience." When TV Guide decided to dismiss her in 1983 to replace her column with a computerized movie summary, executives told her they might come crawling back to her in six months to beg her to return. The magazine was deluged with letters, and asked her back three weeks later. She was given a raise and stayed until 1988.
Her zingers could be withering. In March 1965, she panned three major releases in a single "Today" appearance: "The Greatest Story Ever Told" ("A kind of dime-store holy picture"), "Lord Jim" ("A lot of heavy five-cent philosophy") and "The Sound of Music" ("Icky-sticky").

NAU loses in a close triple over–time thriller
By Devontae Brown
The Northern Arizona University (NAU) Lumberjacks came into Saturday's football game on an eight–game winning streak looking to improve to a 9–1 overall record. The Southern Utah University (SUU) Thunderbirds had other plans for the Jacks.
The Thunderbirds never really let NAU get into a rhythm on offense. In the first quarter, the Thunderbirds intercepted senior quarterback Cary Grossart twice. One of those interceptions was returned to the end zone for a touchdown. NAU also lost a fumble on what seemed to be a questionable call. While Grossart was looking to find junior wide receiver Ify Umodu, he was tackled down to the ground and the ball came loose and was ruled a fumble.
The offensive woes continued for the Jacks from the second quarter until the middle of the third quarter. The game was close at 12–7, in favor of the Thunderbirds. In the fourth quarter, the Jacks scored a touchdown making the game 13-12 and opting to go for two, which they converted. The Jacks had a chance to finish the game at 15–12, but the Thunderbirds hung in late to tie the game and force overtime.
SUU received the toss in overtime, scoring a touchdown on a quarterback sneak. The Lumberjacks responded with a touchdown pass to tie the game at 22. This exchange happened between both teams to tie the game again at 29 each in the second overtime. In the third overtime SUU scored a TD and didn't convert on a two-point conversion. On fourth and two, Grossart was sacked, thus ending the game on what would have been a magnificent win for NAU.
NAU Offense Struggles
The offense struggled heavily through the game Saturday. Whether it be finding no offensive rhythm running the ball, this lack of an effective rushing attack (which was completely shut down), and the protection, was not as solid as previous games. This team's primary goals are to run the ball first and throw second. The game–plan is predicated on an effective run which creates more time of possession, opens the homerun plays down the field through play action, and most importantly keeps the opposing defense on the field. Once the run game was taken away the Jacks became one dimensional, despite Ify Umodu having a great day catching the ball.
NAU gave up six sacks during the game and a multitude of rushed throws, which led to incomplete passes. It seemed that the tenacity was not on the offensive side of the ball like it was on the defense. NAU was searching for answers throughout the whole game, which is a testament to the opposing teams' defense.
On the game winning drive NAU called a questionable play on third and seven electing to run the ball rather than throwing. NAU gained five yards forcing a throwing play-call in which Grossart was then sacked on fourth and two ending the game. The Jacks just could not run the ball the whole game, though we kept trying to loosen the defense. A good run game keeps the defense honest and sets up more 1-on-1 coverage for our receivers. If the Jacks would have thrown on that third down play I believe we would have had a better chance of scoring. Through the game, all of the key third down conversions and scoring drives had been on throws not on the run. The Jacks hung into the game by the hats of the defense, though they did not create turnovers, the defense forced the Thunderbirds out of their game plan as well. The defense the whole game not only forced a multitude of punts, but also forced a lot of hurried throws and kept the opposing teams offense in third and very long throughout the game.
NAU looks to correct and make adjustments for the final game of the season against San Luis Obispo next Saturday.

RIVERDALE, NY - The Iona College baseball team dropped a doubleheader at Manhattan in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference action at Van Cortlandt Park. The Gaels (9-17, 2-3 MAAC) dropped an 8-7 heartbreaker in the opener and 4-1 in the nightcap.
Iona came out of the gate in the first game with four runs in their first at-bat. The first five batters of the contest reached base for the Gaels. Sophomore CF Joe Torres led off with a double and was pushed to third by rookie DH Jimmy Guiliano's base hit. Senior 3B Chris Burke picked up an RBI single to drive in the Gaels first run. After Burke was caught stealing, senior 1B Michael Chiaravalloti was hit by a pitch to put runners on the corners. Senior C James Beck followed with his fifth home run of the inning to give the Maroon & Gold an early 4-0 lead.
The Gaels took a five run lead in the following inning, with Burke earning his second RBI of the contest. A leadoff home run by senior LF Colin Lyall put the Maroon & Gold ahead 6-0.
On the mound, sophomore LHP Eddie Macaluso was cruising. He allowed just one hit and had three walks with six strikeouts in his first seven innings. Macaluso quickly got the first two outs in the seventh before Manhattan started its comeback. A walk to CF Anthony Vega was followed by a double by DH Nick Camastro. After 3B Kyle Murphy reached on an error, C Ramon Ortega's three-run home run made the score 6-4. All four runs in the frame were unearned.
In the top of the ninth, Iona put a run on the board on a Guiliano single to make it a three-run game with three outs to play.
The Jaspers continued their momentum from the previous frame in the bottom of the ninth inning. The home team would score four runs with two outs to win the game 8-7. Murphy's two-run double tied the game at 7-7. After an intentional walk, Gorecki's single up the middle ended the contest.
Guiliano recorded four hits to lead the Gaels and to push his season batting average over the .400 mark prior to the second game. Torres, Burke and Lyall had two hits a piece.
Manhattan reliever Jacob Marchus (1-0) earned the win, tossing the final two outs of the top of the ninth. Starter John Soldinger allowed six runs on 10 hits in seven innings of work. Seven different Japers were resposible for the squad's seven hits. Murphy, Camastro and Ortega each had multiple RBI in the win.
In the night cap, the Gaels bats were quieted by rookie Michael Scarinci whose six innings of four-hit ball led to the 4-1 win.
Manhattan scored all four runs in the first three innings to take the early advantage. The Gaels got on the board in the sixth on a run scoring double by Beck.
Lyall (0-4) took the loss. He tossed 5.2 innings, allowed six hits, four runs (three earned), with four walks and two strikeouts. Beck went 2-for-3. Guiliano's 1-for-4 effort dropped his season average to .394 heading into tomorrow's series finale. Scarinci (3-2) earned the win, Marchus the save. 2B Joe McLennan had two hits and two RBI to lead the Jaspers offensively.
The series concludes tomorrow at 3:00 pm.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville Metro Police have arrested a Nashville man they say had a penchant for skipping out on his bills.
According to an arrest report, 64-year-old Franklin C. Thomas walked into Cunningham's restaurant on 4th Street with two other people on Wednesday and told them he was paying their bill, which totaled roughly $40.
But he walked out without paying, police say, telling employees of the restaurant that he had to get cash from the ATM. He didn't return.
Police say 20 minutes later, Thomas visited the Bluegrass Brewing Company on 4th Street and also skipped out on a $13 bill there.
The previous day, police say Thomas was cited for not paying his bills at the Seelbach and the Brown Hotel.
Police say they caught up with him while he was in a room at Hotel Louisville. He allegedly refused to let them in, so they had to cut the chain off the hotel room door, causing $50 in damage.
Police say Thomas, "obviously doesn't understand that you need money to patronize businesses downtown" and had plans to return to his home state of Tennessee the next day, so they decided to arrest him, rather than simply give him a court date.
He was charged with criminal mischief and theft of services.

You said, "It's time — past time — for Oregonians to taste the porridge that is just right. Let's make a PERS bed that fulfills only the original promises of a retirement program that became overstuffed while no one was looking."
"In 1981, the Legislature decided to add another retirement formula, one based solely on years of service and a worker's final salary. Lawmakers set a clear goal with the new formula: Public employees with at least 30 years of service (25 years in the case of police and firefighters) should receive a pension equal to about 50 percent to 60 percent of their final salary."

Diabetes is a chronic disease marked by high levels of sugar in the blood. We met a 7th grader in Aberdeen who recently learned he's a Type 1 Diabetic, but thanks to Registered Dietitians at Avera St. Luke's he's learning to live with it correctly.
Adam Zimmerman is only 12 years old, but recently learned he has a very grown up disease.
Adam says, "I was going to the bathroom a lot, I was really thirsty, my mom said I was pale and I just didn't feel normal."
Adam's doctor confirmed he has Type 1 Diabetes. His pancreas no longer produces enough insulin to properly control his blood sugar.
Adam says, "I was kind of scared when the doctor told me. I didn't think it would make me different, but I would have to change how I was living."
And that's when Sara Weigel came in to Adam's life. Sara is a Registered Dietitian with Avera St. Luke's and is teaching the 7th grader a new lesson in food, carbs and how it all affects blood sugar.
Weigel says, "Number one we always teach healthy eating first and foremost, but definitely matching the insulin to the carbohydrates. We don't want any kid to feel they can't eat what other kids are eating, but they need to make sure they are eating healthy. They have to match carbohydrates to insulin."
Adam gives himself 4 insulin shots a day in the stomach, one after each meal and one at night. The trick is figuring out how many carbs he ate during the meal and how many units of insulin he needs to offset them.
Adam says, "It's the same as before, but more math is involved. I think my math grades will improve."
Weigel says it's important, especially for kids, to understand how to keep their diabetes under control. If they don't for a lifetime they could be plagued with all kinds of diabetes related complications like blindness, kidney failure, heart disease and nerve damage. Adam gets that and he thanks Sara and Avera St. Luke's for helping show him the right way to live with this disorder.
Adam checks his blood sugar levels 8 times a day, always before he eats and 2 hours afterwards. He, his mom and Sara Weigel all say he is adjusting very well though to all the changes.
