Summer Community Food Drive – Saturday, August 16, 2014
Join us as a community captain this summer and help Manna on Main Street stock our pantry shelves! Manna will provide food drive kits to individuals for distribution to neighbors, friends, and colleagues. Community captains are responsible for coordinating distribution of bags and flyers as well as food donation pick up's from neighbors with drop off at Manna on Main Street on Saturday, August 16th. Materials will be available for pick up beginning Friday, August 1st. If you are interested in helping out or would simply like more information, please complete the form below. Thanks so much for your support!
General Food Drive Information:
Coordinate a food drive with family, friends, colleagues or neighbors!
Manna's food pantry is largely stocked through community food donations. With your help, we can offer canned, boxed and fresh groceries to individuals who are hungry in our community. From a can of food to a car full of groceries, your participation makes a difference!
Here are a few tips to start your food drive:
- Logistics: Determine the timing of your food drive – when you will start it and how long you will collect food. We often need more help in late spring and summer months, as food donations lessen but need remains high. We accept food in cardboard boxes, bags, or bins – but it helps if you do not need to take back the container that you bring. Recruit volunteers to help collect, sort and bring the food to Manna. Let firstname.lastname@example.com know an approximate date of your food drive to get it on our calendar.
- Food Needs: Find out Manna's current food needs and share with those involved. We always need canned fruit!
- Promotion: Promote the food drive through email, social media, flyers, and word-of-mouth. Print food donation bin signs, or you can make up your own.
- Make it fun! Have contests between departments or neighbors, or see how many bins you can fill. Or, have a themed food collection such as, "Kid-Friendly Foods" (PB&J, canned fruits, pastas, etc.); "Heathy Breakfast Foods" (non-sugary cereals, oatmeal, canned fruit, shelf-stable milk); or "Italian Foods" (pastas, spaghetti sauces, canned tomatoes, etc). Let us know if you come up with your own!
- Drop Off: When your food drive is complete, contact Julie McCabe, firstname.lastname@example.com, regarding your drop off date, time, and amount.
Thank you so much for coordinating a food drive for Manna on Main Street and the neighbors we serve! If you have any questions, please contact Julie McCabe: email@example.com or 215-855-5454, ext 15.

Hovercraft launched at Flaming Gorge to save lives, protect dam
Geoff Liesik, Deseret News
SHEEP CREEK BAY, Daggett County — Sheriff Jerry Jorgensen readily admits there's something unusual about riding in his agency's newest vehicle.
"It's kind of like a hockey puck," Jorgensen said, standing next to the eight-passenger hovercraft that was delivered to the Daggett County Sheriff's Office two weeks ago.
"It was actually ordered three or four years ago," the sheriff said. "The grant money coming in was for public protection, so they ordered a hovercraft."
The hovercraft, based at Flaming Gorge Reservoir, was purchased with Federal Emergency Management Agency funds awarded to Daggett, Duchesne and Uintah counties before Jorgensen was elected in 2010. Floating on a 16-inch cushion of air, it is able to transition easily from ice to water to flat land, making it invaluable to rescuers.
"This is really a great tool for the transitional times when we don't have good enough ice to go hard surface all the time with a four-wheeler or a snowmobile, for example, and we have too much ice to go with a traditional boat," said Daggett County Sheriff's Capt. Chris Collett.
Rescuers in Utah and Wyoming faced just that kind of "transitional" scenario during a January 2011 ice fishing tournament at Flaming Gorge.
Six anglers competing in the annual Burbot Bash were trapped on a shrinking sheet of ice that broke free from the shore and drifted for three-quarters of a mile. It took rescue teams from Daggett County and Sweetwater County, Wyo., several hours to reach the men by boat because they had to work their way through the ice.
"That type of ice rescue like that is almost impossible with a boat because you can't get the boat through the existing ice and then back into open water," Jorgensen said.
While the hovercraft is expected to improve search and rescue operations, it will also help the sheriff's office carry out another of its missions: providing security for Flaming Gorge Dam.
"We do have a contract to guard the dam, and there are certain times of the year that we can't get a boat in, in front of the dam," the sheriff said.
"With some of the boat docks, you're unable to launch a boat down by the dam, so this gives us 365 days a year where we can get into the dam, and on the Green River actually," Jorgensen added.
The sheriff knows some people will grumble about the $104,000 price tag for the hovercraft, but he's willing to weather those complaints.
"It's one of these vehicles that when you need it, you need it. It can't be replaced by something else," Jorgensen said. "If it saves one life or two lives over the next few years, then it will have been worth it, in my mind."

"Best for the money"
We had had a terrible experience with the last hotel we stayed at and this was a pleasant surprise.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Location and spacious"
Grass suites is hard to find and harder to book but they like expedia. Simple suites with kitchenette. No breakfast but there are 10 places to eat within 200 meters. Pleasant desk staff and acceptable prices. It's fine for the purpose.Genuine Expedia guest review
"More like THREE STARS"
Pictures are better than reality. Not a four star hotel. Simple, clean, meets basic needs. Bare walls, broken shower curtain, water stained ceiling. Only treadmill was broken, so tiny gym was of no use except for weights. House cleaning is not reliable. Front desk attendant often falls asleep during the night. Only reason it's a "Japanese" style hotel […] is because of the funky toilet. Pros are that it's a great location, across from Starbucks and 7-Eleven, safe, clean, AC, fridge and decent price for Thonglor area. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good..... But"
Bed sheets had red stains ( but I'm a howling mess of a man, so I just added to them) no towels or shower curtain, check in lady didn't speak ThaiGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great staff great hotel and location!!"
Fantastic!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel, return visitor"
This place is great... More like apartments than an actual hotel although we did stay in a larger apartment style room, separate living room and full kitchen are too.. Large Plasma TV's in both bedroom and living area as well as separate bathroom in living are too. Surrounding area is great, lots of fun bars and restaurants.. This are is particularly […] popular with local young people for funky night life and late bar scene. About 15 minute walk to BTS. Staff are friendly and don't annoy you or come knocking on your door.. I'll definitely stay here again when I'm back in BK. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Location at Thong Lor"
The hotel provides washing machines at the balcony, however, there aren't any place for us to hang the wet clothes to get them dried.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Skip it"
Terrible experience. Utterly disappointed. Gym treadmill out of work, air con not working, cleaning standards surprisingly bad, not even slightest tiny bit of common sense within the staff after repairing on the third day the air con they had not even had the idea to switch it on (currently having 38 Celsius hot temperature conditions) so after coming […] from the city at 8pm we have been embraced by another heat wall within our supposedly comforting hotel room, had to wait 2 hours to even been able to enter it again, then ar 11pm wanted to take a shower, and it was locked!! staff couldnt find the keys, we wanted to to go to bed and had to wait for an engineer to arrive, till 1.30 am in the morning then another staff arrived with that "engineer" only to have found the keys and simply open the door. but that is not all we have been kicked out of our beds at 7am in the morning because of construction noises hammering, etc within and inside the building and in direct opposition of the hotel in another building beloinging to this nightmare hotel. Never again. Absolutely unfair to advertise it without mentioning the noise disturbances clearly existing. Zero points for that performance. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

두번째 이용하는데 좋아요 ^^ bts와는 좀 떨어져있지만 통로 주변 음식점 커피전문점 등이 다 가까워요 가격대비 좋아요^^Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"グラス スイーツ トンロー"
部屋は広く充分満足できました。ただ、トイレのつまりなどの不具合があり、修理を依頼しましたが、対応が遅かったので、そこが不満でした。Genuine Expedia guest review
1Fに泊まりましたが、窓の裏で仕事をしているのか、人が住んでいるのか話し声と空き缶をつぶすような音が続きイヤになりました。壁も薄いのですぐ隣でしゃべっているような感覚になり気持ち悪かったです。 お湯が沸かせないのがつらい。部屋は広く良かったです。Genuine Expedia guest review
床には小さなごみが点在、居間のテーブルにも埃がいっぱいでした、コップは洗っていと一目でわかる黒い汚れがコップに付着していましたが洗浄済みの紙がかぶせてありトイレはお尻の洗浄器がついていましたが使いものにならず。 残念です。Genuine Hotels.com guest review
キッチン・洗濯機が揃ってるところはトンロー周辺は充実しているがここはその中で最も安いと言えるかな。 ただそれ相応で、ハウスキーピングはそれなり。 汚れてないと判断するとシーツなどは交換しない。 タオルはバスタオルはおいててくれるけど普通のタオルはあったりなかったり。 キッチン用品は皿、箸、フォーク・スプーン・ナイフは揃ってるけど、フライパンしかない。 ただ地味に深さがあったのでタイの袋麺(日本より少なめ)は一つなら作れる。 洗剤やスポンジはない。 これらの予備知識があって泊まる分には快適だと思いますが、比較的神経質な人やホテルにくつろぎを求める人は向かないと思います。 個人的には目的地の徒歩県内なのでこれからも利用しようと思ってます。Genuine Hotels.com guest review
좋아요 위치가 좋아요 bts가 좀 멀었지만 만족해요 타월은 하루에 하나씩만 제공되서 좀 불편했어요Genuine Hotels.com guest review
居心地等は最高なのですが、 しいて言うなら、シャワーが出が弱い。 テレビの電波が悪く動きが止まる時があります。Genuine Expedia guest review
ホテルに行き、チェックイン時に部屋が故障していて宿泊できないと言われてSoi39の別のホテルに行かされました。 ホテル内には空き部屋はなかったようで非常に困りました。 代わりのホテルの部屋自体は特に問題はありませんでした。Genuine Expedia guest review
場所はベストでしたが、快適性はいまひとつでした。比較的新しいサービスアパートメントであるにもかかわらず、清掃やメンテナンスがしっかりと出来ていないように感じました。特に清掃は、しばらく使用されていないか、コーヒーカップや棚などにほこりがたまっていました。シャワーカーテンがついていなかった事もマイナスです。Genuine Hotels.com guest review
部屋は広くベットルームが別にありトイレも2つありテレビも2台衛星があり日本のテレビいくつか見れました、Wi-Fiも無料洗濯機もベランダにあり大変便利でレストランが周りに沢山ありタイ料理から日本料理、イタリア料理店など選べて最高でした。コンビニも近く歩いて1,2分のところにセブンイレブンが2件あり、部屋で自炊が出来ます、特に長期滞在の方に良いと思いました。 ただ、目の前の店がパーティーか何か毎日していて部屋まで音が聞こえてちょっとうるさかったです。それ以外は快適でした、Genuine Expedia guest review
"宽敞的房间 晚上有点吵杂"
房间很大,装修也很喜欢~有两个洗手间,超大的客厅~还有洗衣机厨具等一应俱全,但可能因为房间太大了,清洁工作还是不够仔细,有点小角落尘埃还不少的,总体上对房间什么的都非常满意,唯一不满意的就是酒店旁边有2,3家潮人夜店.晚上很吵,到12点后才安静下来~Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Chambre spacieuse mais bruyante et SDB sale"
Pour le prix égale, on peut trouver d'autres établissement avec un meilleur rapport qualité/prix...Genuine Expedia guest review
特に水わまりが汚れたままになっていて、利用する気になれなかった、、、 まあ安かろう悪かろうでしょうが、ちょっと今後はもう泊まらないと思います。Genuine Expedia guest review
部屋の匂いがとても気になる。シャワーは温度調節が難しく、暑いかぬるいのどちらか。周りがバーの為、深夜の歌声なども気になった。Genuine Expedia guest review
"Enough to Enjoy the surroundings!"
I quite satisfied to stay here. The hotel is good because it's near from clubs, bars, and restaurants. It provided services as much as its price. The room was clean but smoking smell was too strong so I changed room once. Some mold was found in the toilet wall. However, All staff members were kind and helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"직원들의 실수만 아니었다면.."
호텔 위치도 다 매우좋았습니다 다만 직원이 체크인하로 간 4시까지 방청소도안되있고 방청소 언제되냐니까 30분만 기다려라하고 결국 2시간 기다리게함.. 또마지막에 일행이 키를 맞기고 체크아웃했는데 키를 저한테 맞긴거 아니냐 자기들한테 없다하다가보니.. 다른방키랑 석어놔서 못찾은걸 나 택시타야하는데 붙잡고잇던거임.. 짜증..Genuine Hotels.com guest review
レストランが多くある便利な場所にあります。 部屋は狭く、古い感じがします。 シャワーカーテンはカビが生えていて汚なかったです。 簡易キッチン付きの部屋でしたが、お皿・フォーク類は有りましたが、鍋釜はありませんでした。 フロントで聞いたところ、長期滞在の場合は用意するが、短期の場合は無いそうです。 せっかくキッチン付きということで予約したのですが意味なかったです。 フロントの女性は感じが良かったのですが、もう泊まることはないと思います。Genuine Expedia guest review
ホテルの隣が野外バーが隣接していて、夜中までライブをしている。かなりの大音量で行われていた。毎日なら考え物です・・・Genuine Hotels.com guest review
位置便利,週遭個性小店與年輕白領酒吧很多,附近地區氛圍能大致上了解本地白領上班族的生活形態,而非觀光客居住地區。對於只回飯店睡覺,不大在意飯店服務與設施的旅客應該很適合。Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Chambre très spacieuse"
Bien, mais un petit peu cher pour les prestations offertes.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice place for hang out"
I would only rate 3 stars for this hotel. The facilities in the room were just normal (some of them need renew). Location is not bad it is around 10-15 mins to BTS and there're many restaurants/ massage/ coffee shop/ clubs on the way. I'm satisfied that varies of Japan TV channels are available here. The wifi was very poor, I could not connect to it […] upon arrival so I need to buy a phone card to message my local friends, I asked 3 but only 1 hotel staff was trying to settle the problem for me. The wifi was still poor during my stay of 2nd and 3rd days. There's a bar in the hotel, I were not able to sleep until 2am before the music stopped. Generally I will not stay again.

"Grotty, nasty, greedy, stay away"
07/04/14 morph988 Penang Island, Malaysia
Hard to know what to say, a big disappointment as soon as I set eyes on it. Grotty, cheap, hostel like. And they tried to charge me 50% extra as I arrived an hour before normal check in time even though the room was ready and available. I walked around for an hour. The room was as cheap, grotty and ugly as the rest of the hotel. The room hadn't been properly cleaned, the washing machine was about 20 years old and wasn't able to dry, the bathroom flooded when I had a shower, the door had just one basic lock, so security was a concern. All the furnishing, bed, the bathroom etc we're just cheap, nasty and unpleasant. Just don't stay at this hotel, there is much better value to be had elsewhere. I am so so glad I just booked one night and I checked out early the next day just to get away from it.

"You get what you paid for"
06/30/14 wenneth h London, United Kingdom
Arrived at the hotel and was told room was not ready at 2:30, not a big deal we went for lunch and came back. Escorted to the room and looked like room has just finished. Everything in the room was pretty basic but air con in the bedroom hardly worked. So we decided to leave the air con in both of the rooms 24 hours a day. Bed wasn't too bad but not amazing. The bathroom was the issue I think, it wasn't particularly clean and pretty tiny bath, shower was kind of old n run down. The next day the toilet leaked, I asked to change the room but never did because we were only staying couple more nights. Plus points it's really cheap we paid less than 30 dollars a night, the location for me an ex bangkokian was great. Thonglor just has everything. The staff was ok they spoke English. Really wasn't a pleasant stay but was so so cheap n we just went back to sleep. There wasn't any noise for us because the curfew was on so everything shut at 12, however if it was not might be a issue with noise..

"Yucks ! It's terribly dirty !"
03/16/14 etc83 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The hotel looks good from outside, but once you step in the room, you wish to leave this hotel immediately ! The table is full of stain, and also the microwave which I believe they didn't clean it. The toilet is even worse, you can find hairs on the floor and basin! It's definitely a Zero for the house-keeping! I rather stay at hostel.

"Unsafe, dirty, BYO toilet paper."
03/12/14 SimplyShimona
The room we arrived to had a distinct smell of dried urine in the bathroom. The room we were moved to was not ready and they promised to bring towels and toilet paper within half an hour. They did not. We eventually called for towels and TP in the evening and instead of simply obliging, they came up and had to check to believe that we did not have them. A few days later, we arrived back to find that housekeeping had cleaned up but refilled our TP with an almost empty roll (about 4 squares left). Appalled, we called up reception and was if we could "wait till tomorrow" because there was no TP in the hotel and only at the office. At this point, I simply said we could not wait. And they eventually brought us a fresh roll of TP (looks like it came from 7-11 across the street). Apart from these incidences, we also found upon entering the room that one of the toilet seats was completely broken off and placed on top of the seat, the soap dispenser pump was also broken, and the tap sprayed water out crazily (we discovered that the filter was stuck full of filth and caused the spraying). Additionally, the first room (urine smell room) had no safe, while the second had safe that was locked already (we called to get it open, but after the guy left, it was still locked). All this shows very lax maintenance standards. The volume of music next door every night is pulsatingly loud. We managed, but thought it might be a small point if any families are keen on the location - it is smack between several restaurants with loud live music. Lastly, we took the stairwell up & down as the lift was super slow, and noticed that the stairwell was filled to the brim with stacks of hundreds of magazines and even cleaning equipment (mop pails detergents). This shouts fire hazard. Location is great for party-goers. If you don't care about safety, clean rooms, stuff working properly, or even TP provided..., this might be the place for you!

"Mouldy, noisy, run down"
02/10/14 Exuma2010 Collingwood, Ontario, Canada
We just stayed here for 2 nights. The location is convenient in Thong Lor. But get a room at the back! They play music until 12:30am in the venue out front and you can hear it in your room as if you were there. Forget sleep. The bathroom tub had mold surrounding it, and the air conditioning blew out moldy air. I dreaded the 2nd night as couldn't breath from the mild and awoke with such a bad headache. Never had such a hard bed and pillow! Had to double the one blanket over me so didn't freeze. Staff was nice and helpful if you asked. Washing machine was handy in the room. But rooms were bare bones, not enough toilet paper, etc. this place could be great with a thorough clean up. Highly recommend you go 5 minutes away to either D67 boutique hotel or the Jasmine. MUCH better!

"Don't rely on photos!"
12/01/13 Nabil A Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Thonglor is bit away from city center; however, it is my choice in Bangkok due to its proximity to my friends. Usually I'm extremely satisfied with the Center Point 100m away, but wanted to try this hotel based on the photos seen on the Web, and opted for one high floor bedroom. Big disappointment!! Average furnishing, badly maintained, cleanliness is questionable. No soap in both bathrooms and one set of towels. Yes it is probably cheaper than Center Point, but on my next trip I will certainly pay more and stay there.

"Inexpensive. Good for an extended stay"
11/12/13 Moyse Dubai
Grass itself isn't brilliant. But for the price and it's location and spaciousness of the suites, it's really good. It's located in Thonglor. There are plenty of good bars and restaurants, cafes and foot massage places all very nearby. On the top floor of Grass is an incredible japanese restaurant. There's a very upmarket and expensive wine bar right outside the reception (and a less expensive one 'round the corner). Next to the wine bar by reception is Fat Gutz pub with live music. A short walk down the road is a local Thai/chinese restaurant that serves the best, biggest fresh oysters I've ever had. And walk a bit further and there's a shop that serves the fourth best Pad Thai in Bangkok. There are three supermarkets close by as well as shops for everything you might need right on your doorstep. I've stayed at Grass about 4 times. It's ideal for a long stay as the price is so reasonable and there's so much in the Thonglor area. I've stayed at much better hotels in Bangkok (the Hansar is great) but Grass is so well-priced, so conveniently located yet tucked away from the main road, and there's everything you could need nearby.

"No interest"
10/20/13 kaan_r Bangkok, Thailand
The only good thing about this place is that their rooms are spacious, with small kitchenette if you would like to fix something to eat. Apart from that, we found that the room was really not clean, the bathroom was disgusting (mold, cobweb...). We happened to take the staircase instead of elevator. And we found ourselves the most terrible spot... The staff are not friendly at all.

Convenient location, staff was friendly and the exterior of the hotel looks nice. However, the noise at the hotel was unbearable from the surrounding bars, the rooms were leaking from the ceiling and had mould. They changed rooms, but the situation only got worse. Room cleanliness was questionable. Had to leave early to get a decent nights sleep.

"Good location but has it's drawbacks"
06/01/13 lotozzi Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Very basic, not overly friendly, good value for money for long stays. I stayed 2 weeks and during that time the amenities weren't fully stocked each day. The most serious problem with these rooms is that they don't have a security lock inside the room. You can lock your door but anyone on the other side with a key can come in. I had my iPad stolen from a stack of magazines on the table. Yes, it should have been in the safe. Nice neighborhood, lots of fun places to eat and hear music, but a long walk to the BTS. I'm only giving the establishment a 2 because of the housekeeping and lack of security lock. There is a washing machine. There was nothing in the kitchen area for cleaning, washing or drying. Very few hangers. Mattress was rock hard but nice duvet.

Film Review: 'Please Give'
Date: June 30, 2010
by: Pam Nadon | Film critic
As the witty columnist Erma Bombeck once so aptly observed, "Guilt is the gift that keeps on giving." Director Nicole Holofcener taps into that ongoing process in her subtly hilarious new film, "Please Give." Best of all, she once again teams up with the brilliant Catherine Keener in their fourth and finest collaboration.
Keener and Oliver Platt play Kate and Alex, married Manhattan vintage-furniture store owners who prey on the children of recently deceased parents for inventory. Buying low and selling high has begun to eat away at Kate's conscience. To assuage her guilt, she gives gobs of cash to homeless people and disastrously attempts to do volunteer work.
Having already purchased their 91-year-old next-door neighbor's adjoining apartment, Kate and Alex are eagerly awaiting her death. This macabre vigil doesn't escape the attention of the old woman's granddaughters, Mary (Amanda Peet) and Rebecca (Rebecca Hall). Mary is pretty much on the same page as Kate and Alex, given her grandmother's ornery and pessimistic nature, whereas Rebecca lovingly attends to her grandmother's needs and demands.
Holofcener ("Lovely and Amazing") has assembled a top-notch cast, which is key in making the tremendously touchy subject matter work. Peet is superb as the granddaughter from hell who never shies away from speaking the awful truth. Hall's soulful performance as the kinder, gentler granddaughter provides the empathy so lost on most of the other characters. Outstanding is Ann Morgan Guilbert, who perfectly portrays the monstrous nonagenarian (you'll recognize her as Millie on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" if you're old enough).
But Keener is the brightest beacon shining in this amiable yet acerbic comedy. She has a familiarity about her that easily draws you into any character she's portraying ("Capote,""Being John Malkovich"). Her innocent, tortured and generous Kate hits all the right notes.
It's said that charity begins at home. Holofcener seems to have built this great movie upon that profound foundation.

It seemed like such a good idea. A company out near the Port of Olympia named BMT Northwest was being squeezed out by development. They built huge steel tanks. The Satsop Business Park had lots of room — and was in need of a major tenant.
The idea was hatched — turn the old turbine building originally constructed for the 1970s-era WHOOPS project at the Fuller Hill development park into a facility specifically built for BMT Northwest. The company would bring dozens of jobs and esteem for the business park. It would be a story it could use to attract other clients. The state Legislature kicked in millions of dollars for renovations of the building. Pressure was put on county building inspectors to approve the project. And records obtained by The Vidette show that the Satsop Business Park, itself, ponied up $1.5 million of public money as a kind of line of credit to make sure the outfit could purchase the proper cranes and equipment needed to get itself going. A lease stretching out to 2023 was signed.
But it all came crashing down last fall as BMT Northwest ran out of money. To make matters worse, the equipment bought with public funds was listed as an asset in bankruptcy filings and is about to be sold off to another company, even though $1.2 million is still owed to the taxpayers. The Port of Grays Harbor has hired attorneys, who are using words like "fraud" and making claims that BMT Northwest inappropriately assigned leases in violation of statute.
Bankruptcy filings in the U.S. District Court of Delaware show that the only assets BMT Northwest has is $1.2 million in assets inside the Turbine Building, part of which is still owned by the public. The Port has multiple filings trying to make its case. But a bankruptcy judge in Delaware has formally cleared BMT to sell it all off, removing all liens and debt owed by BMT Northwest. That means the equipment that should have been held as collaterral because it was paid for using public funds is about to be sold to a private company. And because BMT owes upwards of $10 million in debt — the public may not see a dime from the sale.
In fact, an order from the bankruptcy judge even invited the Port of Grays Harbor to make its own bid to get back the equipment paid for by public dollars. The deadline for the bidding was on June 20. The sale is expected to be completed this week. Port Attorney Art Blauvelt said there is still a chance for the Port to recover something and will be filing objections to the sale.
So, was it worth it?
BMT Northwest was located in the former nuclear plant's reconfigured turbine building, which was originally designed to house steam turbine generators for the twin nuclear plants that were never finished. The company took over the facility in 2009, and after a year-and-a-half conversion process, began manufacturing and shipping behemoth industrial steel storage tanks for various uses around the globe. The company manufactured and shipped tanks weighing up to 1 million tons out of its 360,000-square-foot plant.
Officials with the Grays Harbor Public Development Authority, which ran the Satsop Business Park up until the end of 2012, saw the business as a success story for the Satsop Business Park. BMT Northwest owner and CEO Chuck Travelstead saw the facility as a good fit for his business. At the beginning, there was plenty of positive press for the park, with hopes that it could attract even more business.
In 2011, more than 120 engineers, technicians and owners from steel tank manufacturing plants throughout the Americas attended the Steel Tank Institute/Steel Plate Fabricators Association conference and made a special trip to the BMT facility, recognizing the business as one of the largest steel fabrication plants in the country.
In 2012, the company secured the contract to paint the large seating structures for the new Husky Stadium at the University of Washington. The company built the steel framework to hold the cement forms used to create the pontoons for the State Route 520 bridge replacement project between Seattle and the Bellevue area. On the bridge project, the company processed 800 tons of new steel and then modified another 400 pieces of existing heavy steel frames for future phases.
The company was a "must" stop for any state or federal politician moving through the county.
It was also a consistent stop for economic development tours.
In fact, just days before the employees were laid off in September of last year, the company was a designated stop for Showcase Grays Harbor, hosted by Greater Grays Harbor Inc., the regional chamber of commerce, geared to highlight the county's economic strengths and diversity. Community leaders and the media toured the facility, most unaware that three days after the tour, everybody would receive pink slips.
In 2008, Public Development Authority board members, consisting of private parties as well as commissioners from the county, port and PUD, lobbied local legislators for funding to help renovate the turbine building specifically to get BMT Northwest into the facility. They were successful, garnering a grant of $5.053 million in state funds. The county chipped in $250,000 from an economic development fund.
Then, in 2009, the county chipped in another $150,000 and the old Public Development Authority spent an extra $300,000 to retrofit a barge slip near the Satsop site. The slip, 60 feet wide and 300 feet long, was renovated to remove sediments and make it deeper, specifically so BMT Northwest could use it to send giant steel tanks down the river. The tanks were too wide to travel on regular roads and some are too high to make it safely under overpasses.
As part of the lease for BMT Northwest, $1.5 million in tenant improvement funds were loaned to BMT Northwest so the company could make further improvements and buy more equipment. The funds were supposed to be paid back over the life of the lease, which went until the end of 2023. Before the company went bankrupt, $1.29 million was still owed.
There were promises that the business would be an anchor tenant, attracting many jobs and potentially other tenants over the years. That never happened. In 2008, the company had about 50 employees in Olympia, with a pledge to bring in dozens more. When the company finally moved into the turbine building in 2009, it still had 50 employees. And, by the time it laid off everybody last year, it still had about 50 employees.
To attract BMT Northwest and keep the company at the business park, it cost the public a combined $7.253 million. That means the taxpayers subsidized those jobs to exist at a acost of $18,132 per employee for the four years they all worked.
In 2008, the company signed a 15-year lease with the Satsop Business Park, which has since been inherited by the Port of Grays Harbor. The agreement allowed BMT to pay no rent in 2008 and 2009 with rent commencing at $4,000 per month in May of 2010. The rent remained at $4,000 per month and was set to increase to $6,000 in January of this year.
There were a number of lease agreement options allowing the company to stay at the park until 2058, if it wanted.
The company also had to compensate for security costs at the business park and pay an annual cost for use of the barge slip.
Part of the lease also pledged to pay back the $1.5 million in tenant improvements that the Satsop Business Park had loaned to BMT Northwest in a bid to help the company make the Turbine Building work better and purchase more equipment.
In the lease agreement, there is a lengthy asterisk explaining the reasoning for why the public entity was loaning a private entity so much money — as if hinting that someone in the future may question the loan.
The note in the contract explains that the county made a ruling that the 1970s-era building was "new construction" and needed to be updated to new building codes. The money provided by the state couldn't cover the full costs.
The lease states: "The rent structure and tenant improvement allowance is provided to tenant in exchange for good and valuable consideration, including but not limited to tenant's substantial investments in the premises, tenant's payment of rent and other charges for premises that were previously generating no revenue for the owner, tenant's willingness to relocate from its current facilities in Olympia to the premises, increases in tax revenue to Grays Harbor County, the creation of employment opportunities for local residents in family-wage positions, an increase in the owner's opportunities for other leases as a result of tenant's ability to attract related businesses to the Satsop Development Park and other good and valuable consideration. This tenant improvement allowance will allow the owner to provide for tenant's installation of additional fabrication machinery in the turbine building, thereby increasing the variety of employment and training opportunities available for local residents. It also complies with the owner's purposes under Grays Harbor ordinance No. 246, including but not limited to 'undertaking development of an underutilized area of the county,' 'facilitating private investment which will build the county tax base' and serving 'the essential public purpose by relieving blight.'"
The tenant used the $1.5 million for machinery and equipment for installation and use in the Turbine Building, including compressor lines, gas lines, compressor systems, electrical distribution system improvements, security systems, sandblast and paint facilities, plate rolls, runway, three 10-ton cranes, a blast booth and a paint booth, among other items.
Blauvelt said about $800,000 in actual physical improvements to the structure were done and would not be removed under any bankruptcy scenario. There was another $700,000 in purchased equipment.
BMT Northwest was paying $12,675 per month beginning Jan. 1, 2009, and continuing through the term of the lease to pay back the funds used to improve the facility. On June 21, 2011, the business park agreed to defer the payments from May 1, 2011, to June 30, 2012. As a result, the monthly assessment would be boosted to $14,497 from July 1, 2012 through the expiration of the lease. The present balance due is $1,289,880.
FINANCE Issues
The company that signed the lease was Olympia Properties, LLC. It was an affiliate company behind BMT Northwest and owned by the same people.
Part of the approved lease forbid Olympia Properties to sublease or designate the lease to any other company. Blauvelt notes that's an important part of the terms because, it turns out, Olympia Properties did exactly that without informing the Port.
In 2011, BMT Northwest ran out of money and defaulted on a loan owed to JP Morgan & Chase Co. Foreclosure proceedings began and a new company called BMT Northwest Acquisitions emerged, and, for simplicity's sake, purchased the assets and forgave the debts at a discount. The debt was now owned by The Private Bank out of Chicago.
The new debtor asserted that it entered into a sublease for the leased premises at the Satsop Business Park— but neither the PDA nor the Port ever consented to the sublease, according to filings made by the Port in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
In September of last year, Travelstead sent a letter informing the Port that he was experiencing more financial difficulties and was looking for a buyer to purchase the business. In that letter, Travelstead requested that the Port amend the lease so he or a future buyer would no longer have to pay back the $1.29 million still owed on the tenant improvements. On Sept. 23, Blauvelt wrote back and said the lease was remaining the way it was. The pink slips were issued by BMT Northwest that day.
Records show Blauvelt consistently wrote to Travelstead and received no response back.
Alissa Shay, the business manager of the Satsop Busienss Park, made phone calls — and was ignored.
In January, Blauvelt issued default notices and a notice ordering the debtor to vacate the premises.
By mid-February, the company filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy documents in the U.S. District Court of Delaware.
The filings showed that The Private Bank out of Chicago was owed $6.15 million and Street Tank Holdings Co. Inc. was owed $4.445 million. Altogether, there's a combined $11.4 million in secured and unsecured claims owed by BMT Northwest — with assets only listed at $1.2 million for equipment inside the Turbine Building at the Satsop Business Park.
The Port's claims were not listed as part of the original bankruptcy filings.
The Port says it's owed $1,289,880 as part of the tenant improvement allowance. Between 2014 and 2023, $1.17 million in rent is owed to the Port. However, there is a statutotory cap of 15 percent that is in place, which turns that huge rent debt into a $175,500 claim.
In filings made with the federal bankruptcy court, the Port of Grays Harbor is now alleging "fraud" claims against BMT Northwest and its owners for including equipment that should belong to the public as private assets.
"Based on available information, the Port believes, and therefore asserts, that it is entitled to recover the damages set forth herein because the debtor, BMT-NW, Olympia Property, Mr. Travelstead and/or other principals of the debtor, may have committed fraud in connection with, among other things, the alleged transfer of the tenant improvement allowance property to BMT-NW, the alleged transfer of the tenant improvement allowance property and BMT-NW assets to the debtor and the assignment and/or sublease of the leased premises to the debtor," the Port's filings in bankruptcy court states.
So far, the claims have fallen on deaf ears and the federal district court judge has allowed the sale of the assets to continue.
Port officials tried to get the venue changed from Delaware to the U.S. District Court in Tacoma. But the Delaware judge denied the claim. The Port had argued that of the 75 scheduled creditors, 31 are located in the state of Washington, 12 were on the West Coast and there were only five on the East Coast — none in Delaware.
But, because BMT Northwest filed its corporation papers in Delaware, the judge ruled the venue was proper.
When Port officials tried to stop the debtor from coming on to its premises because the debtor was not the legal leasee, a trustee appointed by the U.S. District Court, threatened legal recourse "if any action is taken by your client without bankruptcy court approval with respect to any of the debtor's assets or property of the bankruptcy estate," according to the court filing.
Thus, the locks have remained unchanged and the Port has left the property paid for by the public in the building — unless Port officials want to be held in contempt of court by a federal judge.
At this point, unless a settlement agreement is reached, the Port's only hope to stop the sale of its assets is to object to the sale after the equipment has been sold.
Blauvelt says there are assets in the turbine building which BMT Northwest brought with them from their Olympia operations. Out of about 126 items that are up for bid, the Port only protested 13 or 14 items, purchased with the $700,000 of public money. Blauvelt notes that those items were never listed by BMT officials as personal property that is taxed by the county. The property is owned by the Port, he said, but was co-opted and listed incorrectly as private assets.
The Port's objections will be heard by the judge in the coming days.
Meantime, Shay says the marketing plans to try to get a new tenant in the turbine building has been in a holding pattern. It's been that way since the end of last year.
"Because everything is up in the air, we haven't really been actively recruiting someone to come into the building," Shay said. "But, if someone were to contact us, we'd take their name and still meet with them."
Blauvelt notes that the millions of dollars of work in the building to attract BMT Northwest will still be there to help attract another tenant in the building.
That said, despite best efforts of recruiting business in an area where unemployment has continued to be in the double digits or darn close, most of the business park's major buildings are empty and have been empty for months, if not years.

Intel officer development team convenes in May
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
By Debbie Gildea, Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs / Published April 24, 2014

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) --
The intelligence officer career field summer development team will convene May 29-June 6 to consider eligible officers for calendar year 2015 intelligence director of operations, wing senior intelligence officer and detachment commander positions.
Endorsed nominations are due to the Air Force Personnel Center by May 9, and applicants must be nominated by the first colonel or O-6 equivalent in the Airman's chain of command, said Maj. Jeff Fries, with AFPC intelligence officer assignments.
Nominating authorities may submit as many nominations as they choose, but Fries advised they nominate only those officers who possess the qualities necessary for the responsibilities inherent in the duties.
"Nominees should possess exceptional leadership skills, set the example through unquestioned integrity and professional competence, have the ability to motivate others, demonstrate concern and interest in subordinates, show excellent mentoring skills and possess a drive to take the initiative," Fries said.
Candidates must be core intelligence or cyberspace operations majors or major-selects from the 2001-2004 year groups. In addition, they cannot have met their in-the-promotion-zone board to lieutenant colonel.
All eligible officers must submit a Word document statement of intent indicating whether or not they want to be considered for an O-4 leadership position, Fries said.

OMG, The stupid, it BURNS!
I'm going to read up on the Know Nothings of the middle 1800s.
Bachman and Palin are leading today's Know Nothings in their war against knowledge.
I've just done a quick search for that and found Premillennialism, Quakers, Shakers and Mormons.
Its interesting to note that Mormoronism was around at the same time as PT Barnum. "There's one born every minute".
I'm currently reading "Assassination Vacation" by Sarah Vowel and just learned about the man who assassinated President Garfield. He (Charles Guiteau) was a member of "a 19th century vegetarian sex cult in upstate NY whose members lived for 3 decades as self pro-claimed 'bible communists'...the Oneida Community" (p137). I would like to learn more about THAT community!
One of the things Vowel mentions was their belief in "mutual criticism" as a way to 'cleanse' people's egos...defined as standing up in front of everybody and being criticized and listening to people name off your faults...FUN STUFF. They were part of the utopian movements springing up all over the east coast and beyond. If anybody knows a good book about these religious 'subcultures', I'd like to hear about it. Vowel has a humorous way of explaining historical events and her kind of writing is based in a deep respect for kooky details that you never heard in your high school history classes! She would have a field day with Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann...but we'll have to wait for them to be forgotten historical figures, first..ha ha...we can only hope they fade away like the details of presidential assassinations.
(The assassination of Garfield had nothing to do with this man's religious beliefs, by the way, he was rejected by the Oneida Community (and they were pretty TOLERANT) and seemed to have grievances about Garfield's refusal to consider him as ambassador to France. Mentally unstable....)
Yes, the mis-speak and concentrating on it can be a red herring.
I think the mis-speaking, gotcha, and arguing about it detracts from the politician's beleifs and actions. It goes both ways. For her to make a claim about being like John Wayne, and the supposed importance of the town that he supposedly is from, is as disingenuous as the gotchas about how it wasn't him, it was the serial child killer who was from there, and by the way John Wayne was supposedly a racist draft dodger, etc - what does all of that have to do with how we want the country to run?
I prefer to hear her attitudes about running the country, economy, war, environment, security, separation of church and state, poverty, health care..... so far everything I've heard has been scary.
It would certainly be nice to hear her opinions about the separation of church and state... I hear her tea party agenda loud and clear, but her appeal goes deeper than tax relief. She spends a lot of time gleefully saying 'we can't spend our way out of the recession' and 'President Obama is a one-term president' and 'my husband and I know how to run a business'.
I want the media to scrutinize her the way they scrutinized President Obama as a senator and 'a questionable patriot'..... she needs to feel that kind of heat in order for the average citizen to see what she's made of. Her responses will speak volumes.
John Wayne was laughed at by true WWII veterans. He turned in tons of his fellow actors to the House UnAmerican Committee and recently, I read he tended to hit people who disagreed with him. If you read about the man, you may find he was one unpleasant fellow. So maybe she is like John Wayne, in that, he had no problem betraying his friends and the people who helped him.
I definitely don't want this woman elected President. I think she would dismantle the VA, the EPA, Medicaid/Medicare, Social Security, the National Park Service and just about everything that is not the military whose pay she would probably cut. She is no friend to the lower class, the veteran or the environment. I have no idea how this woman got elected in the first place.
someone doesn't like John Wayne.
What's hilarious is that when I googled on him, google auto-completed the entry by adding "Gacy" to "John Wayne". Apparently people are more interested in the killer than the actor.

Dont go to this bank , I agree very high fees , they dont care if you are a customer for 30 years they have no loyalty they are all about making a buck on the customer, I have been banking with the same bank even though they changed hands four times first it was albany sabings bank, then they changed to Albank, then it was Charter one, then Citizens now RBS Citizens , I actually feel bad for RBS getting involved in citizens bank . I liked RBS they always have been helpful and understanding. Not Citizens bank if you are 50 cents short in your account instead of giving you the 50 Cents they will charge you 37.00 ,, also $3.00 everytime you dont use their atm. forget about customer service they dont care and they dont help. after all the loyalty you give them they dont care at all. I am going to take my mortgage , my checking accounts somewhere else as soon as possible < I have had it with this bank. I will be sure to share the information with all my friends , family and the world until they get the message . I hope no-one out there fall for banking with them god help you if you do because they will rake you over the hot coals.
Michelle A Plew
Worst banking experienece ever. I have several other online banks and have never had problems with any of them. I have had my account at Citizen's about three weeks and have been on the phone with their rude, unhelpful staff at least 20 times already. Transfers from other banks either don't work or take a week or more for your funds to show up. I have had transfer disappear. I was given a confirmation number that I was told was a ficticious number from a department that didn't exist. The supervisor told me I must have called the wrong number and given my financial information to a stranger. Unfortunatly, there are no branches in this area so I have to use online banking, but it SUCKS.
I am assuming a happy ending to today's mess with Citizens, but I am still in shock this happened.
My stepson went to the bank, Endicott, NY, I believe. He closed all of his accounts. He had 3 or 4. I assume they gave him the money from his accounts. They also gave him the money from MINE.....all 4 of mine. I would not have known this happened had I not set up to receive e-mail when the balance on one of those accounts went below a certain amount. When I went to my account online to check on the balance just mentioned, I found all of my accounts with a CLOSURE WITHDRAWAL leaving a ZERO balance in all accounts. I just do not understand how this could happen. I know they are working hard to resolve the problem, but I find this very disconcerting and disappointing.
Iv had terrible experience all the way around eith these shysters .. from hidden fees to account trickery to horrible customer service you name it... they do not value you as a customer. ,. Its all about how much they can soak out of your accounts n get away eith it ., the final straw was I had a 300 fraudulent charge on my account (online) and called customer service and they told they couldnt freeze the acvount and I eould have to go into my local branch if I wanted anything done ..well thats were itgets worse. At the branch they discover fraudulent charge had not yet cleared so im told id have to pay 35 fee to put a stop payment on the fraud charge that I didn't make ...needless to say I gave birth to a baby bird right thrre in the bank ..they finally reversed charges n I said im done with this bank forever ..

Today's Medical Developments, Pam Streed
In the already fiercely competitive medical device industry, manufacturers seek the advantage of being the first to incorporate new technology, such as wireless connectivity, into their latest devices. However, manufacturers are also well aware of the delicate balance between ensuring their products represent the quality they promise and staying ahead of the competition.
Creating a high quality product that will meet the medical community�s expectations begins during the product design and development process. Third-party testing partners can be a tremendous resource to manufacturers during these early stages of product design, bringing an external perspective on industry standards that can shed light on opportunities to improve product attributes.
Accepted standards exist to ensure the safe and reliable performance of medical devices. As new technologies emerge, standards will evolve to incorporate these new technologies. There are also numerous areas of crossover among standards; for instance, a medical device that has a light may need to be tested against lighting and medical device standards, whereas a medical device that incorporates wireless technology will have to meet Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements in addition to the safety requirements for medical devices. . .View Full Article

WEST ISLIP, N.Y. -- St. Joseph by-the-Sea got off to a fast start and never let up en route to a 69-45 victory over host St. John the Baptist in the CHSAA Class A state tournament.
With the win, the Vikings advance to the second round against Kellenberg Memorial on Wednesday night at 7:30 at St. Francis Prep in Queens. Kellenberg ousted Notre Dame Academy from the tournament with a 57-44 triumph on Tuesday.
Sea jumped out to a 20-10 lead after one quarter and 41-20 at intermission. Leading the way in the first half were Jillian Silvestri with 16 points and Casey Davidson with 10.
"They tried to trap us, but we did a great job of breaking the press and that led to a lot of uncontested layups," said Sea coach Frank Giordano.
The Vikings maintained a comfortable lead in the second half as guards Valerie Jioia and Samantha McCarren took turns running the offense.
Silvestri finished with a game-high 21 points for Sea while Davidson added 17 points and 16 rebounds. Nicole Vierno was a terror on defense, plucking 10 rebounds and blocking four shots.
Kayla Hill led the Cougars with 15 points
"They played us tough, but it was just our night," said Giordano.
