Essex County Habitat for Humanity, currently in the midst of one Haverhill homebuilding project, is moving on to another in the city's Mount Washington neighborhood.The nonprofit recently agreed to purchase a single-family home and property at 512 Washington St. for $650,000 and has the city's blessing to convert it into seven affordable housing units. Director of Charitable Giving Kevin Hudson made the revelation while a guest on WHAV's “Win for Breakfast” program.“We are currently raising funds to acquire property on Washington Street where we  plan to build seven new homes,” Hudson said, noting that in addition to the purchase price, Habitat must raise about $2 million to fund the renovation and construction.Hudson later explained the plan is to renovate the current house on the property, owned by Keith Boucher, to create three units and then build two duplex houses.Andrew K. Herlihy, division director for the city's Community Development Department, said the city has committed $149,173 from federal HOME Program funds to help Habitat with the purchase of the property.“It is a proposal we support in part because home ownership in the Mount Washington neighborhood, where this property is located, is the lowest in the city,” Herlihy said, adding that the project would most likely have to come before City Council for a special permit.Hudson said Habitat hopes to have the project funded by the fall of 2025 and that groundbreaking would then follow in 10 to 12 months.Habitat already has one duplex under construction at 41 Curtis St. in Haverhill. This Thursday, May 8, some 40 women—wielding hammers, screwdrivers and saws—will descend on the site for a Habitat Women Build event.“It started as an opportunity for women who wanted to volunteer and to be able to do so in an unintimidating environment with other women who don't have any or as much experience in construction and it has really grown from there across the country,” Hudson said.Among the women volunteering that day are a crew from the North Parish Unitarian Universalist Church in North Andover. The Curtis Street project is Habitat's fourth in Haverhill. The public is invited to view the progress of the Curtis Street house at a Hard Hat Tour and reception on Thursday, May 15, at 5:30 p.m.., Hudson said.A crew of women are also volunteering next week at a Habitat site in Hamilton where five duplexes are currently under construction. Habitat expects to break ground on a duplex in Ipswich and one in Wenham soon and is currently in the process of permittingSupport the show

Two weeks after celebrating her successful finish of the 2018 Boston Marathon Kim Dahn was stricken with debilitating stomach pain, ongoing and acute discomfort not readily recognized by her doctors. It turns out she suffers from a rare genetic condition that caused her lower intestinal tract to compress and twist. The condition is called superior mesenteric artery syndrome.Even after over 60 trips to the emergency department and multiple surgeries, her long-term outlook looked bleak until she discovered the possible availability of an international expert. The person who regularly treats the condition through a complicated surgical procedure was expected to visit with another physician expert at a hospital in remote western Virginia for just three days in February. The problem for Kim was getting there and back again since the closest commercial airport was a 40-minute car ride in Roanoke, the weather along the northeast corridor was iffy and she knew she couldn't stand waiting in airport security lines, particularly post-surgery.Haverhill couple Kim and her husband David turned to Angel Flight NE, a charity headquartered at Lawrence Municipal Airport in North Andover, which matches volunteer pilots from across the country with patients in need of medical transport. The service is free.David Dahn was a recent guest on WHAV's “Win for Breakfast” show along with Jonathan Campbell of Angel Flight. The pair explained how the medical transport service was able to get Kim to her surgical appointment and, more importantly, home to complete her recovery in less than half the time of a commercial flight.“We could get there. The logistics weren't too bad getting down, but coming back after surgery was going to be very difficult because there a 40-minute drive when you are post-surgery, trauma and so forth. So, we would we have had to wait not only in the car but at the airport and we would have had go through security lines. There were layovers so what would have been a 10-hour flight we didn't think it was feasible,” Dahn said.Campbell, a retired air traffic controller who “knows how to talk to pilots,” said he has nearly 400 pilots, all instrument rated with over 500 hours of flying time prepared who have access to a variety of aircraft ready to volunteer their time and planes to provide transportation, often at very short notice. He wasn't put off when David Dahn inquired shortly before the trip was to take place.“It was a challenge because, as David touched upon, there were weather issues, there was a relatively short amount of time to arrange things but when he first contacted us we got onto the task at hand and sent our emailed to a lot of our pilots who have longer distance airplanes who can make this trip, hopefully with non-stop. We had a great response from our pilots,” Campbell said.Once the trip dates were set, Kim and David headed to Lawrence Municipal Airport. Pilots, though, are always in charge of trip details because safety is the first priority, Campbell said. Due to a winter storm front, David and Kim and their pilot ended up overnighting in a hotel in Philadelphia so their trip down to Virginia was longer than anticipated.Fortunately, the trip home was a breeze and also was arranged on short notice once Kim's doctors cleared her to leave the hospital following her successful surgery.Campbell said that in addition to his email list of volunteer pilots from around the country, Angel Flight also works with JetBlue and Cape Air when it makes sense to send a client on a commercial flight. He also noted patients must be in stable condition because Angel Flight doesn't provide nursing care. If someone makes an inquiring for a patient who needs medical monitoring, Campbell said he refers them to an air ambulance service.With travel arrangements in another's hand, Support the show

David Simpkins, Director of Technology at Polygon, delves into the world of construction heating and moisture control solutions in a recent presentation from their North Andover office near Boston. Simpkins introduces three varied heat options that cater to the diverse demands of construction sites, ensuring an optimal climate for efficient operations. The Spectrum of Heaters Simpkins unveils a direct-fired 2.5 million BTU heater, suitable for applications that can manage 100% outside air. However, this powerful unit sacrifices recirculation for effective ventilation, resulting in higher energy costs and combustion products in the airstream. On the other hand, a 150 kW electric heater enables air recirculation either inside the space or adjacent to the building, trading a lesser half a million BTUs for cleaner ventilation. Two versions of the million BTU indirect-fired heaters introduce the option of mixed air – recirculating the inside air while simultaneously drawing in outside air. Energy Efficiency and Controlled Environments These indirect-fired units, functioning like a furnace that secludes the combustion products from the air, present a more energy-efficient option. Moreover, these heaters also provide the prospect of adding desiccant dehumidification, allowing independent control of temperature and humidity. Simpkins highlights how this feature is crucial for certain construction processes that require precise environmental conditions, like drywall drying and millwork installation. Match the Heater to the Project To close out, Simpkins ensures that Polygon's dedicated business development team is always eager to assist in selecting the best-suited equipment from their extensive range for any project. Experience the difference with Polygon's advanced construction heating solutions, effortlessly managing moisture and temperature in your construction environment for optimal results.

State Sen. Bruce E. Tarr says there are many positives in the recently approved $4 billion economic development bill, but there's more ahead in January that will shape how the borrowing bill takes effect.Making an appearance on WHAV's “Win for Breakfast” program, Tarr explains the next move is that of Gov. Maura T. Healey.“What I often say is that the legislature writes the menu and the governor decides what she wants to eat, so it's a two-step process.”Tarr, who serves as senate minority leader and whose district includes such area towns as Groveland, North Andover and West Newbury, also delivers a word of caution.“I would remind people that a lot of the money we passed in that bill is bond money, which means that the legislature passing the bill is the first step and the administration deciding which things to spend on is the second step. So, we'll be looking forward to working with the administration on that. Spending money is part of the equation but cutting costs is another part of the equation, and we'll be looking in the new year to once again make Massachusetts more competitive so that the investments we make from the bond bill are going into a more competitive and fertile environment for job growth and economic development.”Tarr recently took part in celebrating the 65th anniversary of Merrimack Valley Planning Commission and 50th anniversary of what has become Merrimack Valley Transit, or MeVa. He notes the Commission and state and federal governments have been working with the Merrimack River Watershed Council.“To improve the quality of the Merrimack River. Particularly in light of the untreated discharge of effluence from wastewater treatment plants up and down the river. While we've made a lot of progress, we still have a lot of distance to go before we get that water quality to where we want it to be reliably, every day, without the episodic influence of those untreated discharges.”Tarr served in the state House of Representatives from 1991-1995 before being elected to the state senate where he will be starting his 30th year in January. He's been the senate minority leader since 2011 and says he as seen many changes in the local news landscape.“You know, it's unfortunate that we're seeing a lot of local news outlets succumbing to the changes in the market. We don't see as many local newspapers, we don't see as many local radio stations and I, for one, think that's unfortunate because it is important to have a medium of communication that responds to local priorities. Win, I know you've been in the business a long time and I appreciate that you always prioritize that, and that's why I was so happy to come on this morning.”Support the show

On the afternoon of September 13th, 2018, overpressured natural gas lines in the Merrimack Valley area in Massachusetts caused explosions across the towns of Lawrence, Andover, and North Andover. For two and a half hours, over 80 fires caused homes to be destroyed in the area, with the damage costs totaling over $1 billion. The memory of that day continues to shape the work of the Salvation Army Massachusetts Emergency Disaster Services (EDS), as well as the pastors and spiritual leaders who came with them to Merrimack.   The Salvation Army had a hot meal and an ear to listen to the families who didn't know if they still had a house to go home to.    At the recovery center, families could get gift certificates and vouchers to help them rebuild, but what they really appreciated was the presence of someone to listen, offer encouragement, and be reassured that they were not alone in this tragedy.   To learn more about The Salvation Army's response to disasters, visit disaster.salvationarmyusa.org

How can we create accurate models of galaxies, both ours and others? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Paco Holguin, a graduate researcher at the University of Michigan Dept. of Astronomy who specializes in computational astrophysics and galactic simulations.   As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: neutron decay. The scientists at Los Alamos National Lab have recently determined that the half-life of a neutron is 877+/- 0.5 seconds, or about 14.5 minutes!   Moving on, Paco tells us how his love for video games and simulations led him to his field of studies, which includes the study of cosmic rays, charged particles and magnetic fields as he models galaxies. And of course, no discussion of Cosmic Rays can possibly pass without a discussion of the Fantastic Four, whose superpowers in the Marvel Comics derived from their exposure to cosmic rays.   For our first student question, Will from the Pingree School Astronomy Club wants to know about other extreme objects other than black holes and neutron stars in our galaxy. Paco starts by explaining how some types of cosmic rays, called ultra-high energy cosmic rays, qualify as extreme objects. Find out about the “Oh My God” particle, which moves so close to the speed of light that if it raced a photon across the galaxy, the photon would only be ahead by a meter after 300,000 years. (To avoid possible confusion, we're not talking about the so-called “God Particle”, aka the Higgs boson.)   Paco explains how sometimes when he models a galaxy, it's going along well and all of a sudden, it simply explodes. Because he uses extremely complex equations to simulate galaxies, Paco decided to take a graduate math class to better understand those equations.    Next up, Jayla from North Andover asks if there is an upper limit to the size of a black hole. As Paco and Charles discuss the possibility, agreeing that while we don't know whether there is an actual upper limit, or we just haven't found it yet, we have measured black holes that have billions of times the mass of our Sun.   Finally, Paco discusses what he's been doing recently at Los Alamos, where for the past two summers he worked on machine learning projects with a diverse set of scientists and researchers. One of the projects he worked on was analyzing data from the Mars Curiosity Rover's Chemcam using machine learning with mathematicians and computer scientists. Paco also shared with us that now that he's finishing up his PhD, he's off to the Applied Physics Lab at Johns Hopkins University to work on projects including exploratory space probe missions, national security issues, and more.   We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.    Credits for Images Used in this Episode: Curiosity's Chemcam – Credit: NASA, Public Domain Los Alamos National Labs, aerial view – Credit: Los Alamos National Labs  

Are we living in a golden age of space telescopes? As our minds are being collectively blown by the images of our universe beginning to come from the JWST, our host Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu explore the next space telescope on the horizon, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, with our guest, astronomer Dr. Alexandra Greenbaum, PhD.   Dr. Greenbaum is an astronomer at Caltech working on the NGRST, which is set to launch in 2027. Named after Nancy Roman, who created NASA's space astronomy program and is known to many as the “Mother of Hubble,” it's a NASA observatory designed to unravel the secrets of dark energy and dark matter, search for and image exoplanets, and explore many topics in infrared astrophysics.   As always, though, we jump into the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, the incredible first picture of Sagittarius A Star, (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy taken by the Event Horizon Telescope. Dr. Greenbaum explains that the EHT uses signals from many telescopes around the world to gather the data that is combined into images like this stunning photo.   Alexandra works at IPAC, the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at Caltech, on the Roman Telescope's coronagraph instrument, which is going to pave the way for future space photography of exoplanets. The coronagraph eliminates the glare that stars produce and allows astronomers to directly image planets in orbit around them. It will be far more powerful than any other coronagraph ever flown, seeing planets that are almost a billion times fainter than their host star.   Our first question this week comes from Isaac, who asks how the JWST differs from the Hubble. Dr. Greenbaum explains how the JWST's mirror is made of 18 different mirror segments, whereas Hubble has a single mirror. Also, JWST is an infrared telescope, while Hubble functions primarily with the optical and ultraviolet portions of the spectrum. That means that JWST can see the light from stars stretching back to the earliest periods of our universe.   Chuck and Alex also discuss how the NGRST differs from Hubble and the JWST. It primarily features a wide-field instrument that can look at a huge portion of the sky with different kinds of detectors. The coronagraph instrument is actually a technology demonstration that will help us develop the optical systems to see planets that are otherwise obscured by the overpowering light of the sun they orbit. Dr. Greenbaum also worked on the JWST, and she explains how each one worked to remove solar interference from planets or brown dwarfs orbiting stars.   For our second question, Jayla from North Andover wants to know what's most exciting about Alexandra's job as an astronomer. She describes traveling to telescopes all around the world as an observational astronomer before the pandemic, and how wonderfully open and collaborative the field of astronomy is.    Last but not least, Chuck, Alexandra, and Allen talk about what she's just read: “Parable of the Sower” by Octavia E. Butler, and how that book helped strengthen her commitment to her career studying the universe.   If you'd like to know more about Dr. Greenbaum's work and keep up on the developments with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, you can check out roman.ipac.caltech.edu.   We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.
