Wind energy and air travel, docks and hydropower are among the elements of the state capital budget. And millions are for aviation in a region where flying is routine, where "going into town" means spending hours on a plane headed into Anchorage.

Wind and water power projects for Bristol Bay and Aleutians communities did well in Juneau. While the governor still has a little time to delete items, the Legislature gave the go-ahead to numerous local construction projects.

Wind money is blowing toward three Bristol Bay villages. The Lake and Peninsula Borough has $10,000 for a wind reconnaissance study for the Kvichak River village of Levelock. The borough also has $60,000 for a wind feasibility study for the Alaska Peninsula village of Egegik. And Kokhanok Electric is funded for $185,000 for a high-penetration wind energy project for the Lake Iliamna village.

Water power projects are flowing into both regions. King Cove could get $2.6 million for the Waterfall Creek Hydroelectric Project. The Lake Iliamna village of Pedro Bay is looking at $290,000 for the Knutson Creek Hydro Electric Project Design and permitting.

The Southwest School District will receive $486,000 for the New Stuyahok heat recovery project. And the G and K Electric Utility in Cold Bay is in line for $30,000 for a waste heat recovery project.

Akutan's city government was awarded $3.1 million for the harbor road project, airport access project, and harbor development projects. Akutan's new harbor is not yet linked to the village by road.

Army National Guard projects in two Bristol Bay communities include $500,000 for the Dillingham Readiness Center, and $150,000 for deferred maintenance at the Manokotak Armory, via the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.

Domestic violence shelters received legislative funding for building maintenance: Dillingham's Safe and Fear-free Environment, $42,500 for facility repairs and upgrades; Unalaskans Against Sexual Assault and Family Violence, $24,400 for siding replacement.

Terry and Shay Weisbrich tucked in Wednesday night feeling grateful and astonished that their Bennett Valley country home was not devoured by a fire ignited by a sunbeam refracted onto the wooden house by the dog's shiny water bowl.

It's a good thing we got to it in time because there's a pretty good-sized hole burned in the siding, Terry Weisbrich said.

A flabbergasted Bennett Valley Fire Department engineer, Rene Torres, said he and his colleagues had no idea what had charred a small area of the cedar siding on the house off of Pressley and Sonoma Mountain roads until he noticed an empty chrome bowl on the deck.

Terry Weisbrich said he'd kicked it aside as he rushed to aim a fire extinguisher on the piece of siding that began smoldering sometime before 3 p.m. Wednesday.

Firefighter Torres asked him where the water bowl had been before he moved it. Weisbrich returned the bowl to its original position on the deck.

It was uncanny, Torres said. In an instant, he said, There was a dot of concentrated light right in that exact area of the charred siding.

The Weisbrichs, who are retired, suspect they might have lost the house on a notably hot, dry and breezy May Day had they not been at home when their dog, Toby, a flat-coated retriever, began to bark excitedly.

This dog does not bark, Terry Weisbrich said.

His wife walked about to investigate what Toby was worked up about. Through a glass door at the rear of the house she noticed what she first thought was steam but quickly realized was smoke.

A smoking frame and hunks of charred aluminum siding were all that was left of the former home of the River City Farmers Market Monday after an early morning fire ravaged the Washington County Fairgrounds' Rabbit and Poultry Building where the weekly market was held.

An insurance policy will cover the cost of replacing the building, but it will not cover the thousands of dollars of merchandise that was stored in the building by the market's vendors.

"About everybody kept their stuff in there," said River City Farmers Market President Gary Smith.

Mike Dietsch A fire engulfs the Washington County Fairgrounds Rabbit and Poultry Building Monday morning as first responders from the Marietta Fire Department arrive on scene shortly after 6:20 a.m. Vendors from the River City Farmers Market lost thousands of dollars worth of merchandise in the blaze.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times Marietta firefighters Scott Casto, left, and Chris Hall, spray down the soaking remnants of the Washington County Fairgrounds Rabbit and Poultry Building after it was consumed by a fire early Monday. A charred, melting sign marking the location of the River City Farmers Market is all that remains of the market, whose vendors lost thousands of dollars of merchandise in the fire.

Between 60 to 70 vendors set up shop inside the building every Saturday, selling homemade items such as jewelry, wood working, home furnishings, candles, decorative iron working, and more, said Smith, who had the unfortunate task of calling vendors and informing them of the calamity.

"We have a guy that makes clocks valued at $300 to $400 a piece. I just talked to him and he lost pretty close to $7,000 worth of stuff," said Smith.

The losses will likely add up to be somewhere in the $100,000 range, he added.

A double loss

- Total funding equals $22 million -

New York, NY - May 1, 2013 - Centerline Capital Group ("Centerline"), a provider of real estate financial and asset management services for affordable and conventional multifamily housing, and a subsidiary of Centerline Holding Company, announced today it has provided three Freddie Mac loans that total approximately $22 million to refinance three multifamily properties in the Baltimore, Maryland area.

The loans - all cash out refinances of an existing Freddie Mac execution - were closed simultaneously for the same borrower, a Maryland limited partnership. The properties are all located northeast of Baltimore and include:

The complex is well maintained as the borrower has continued an aggressive capital improvement program on-site that included replacing all roofs from 2007 to 2011. The borrower plans to use the proceeds from the refinance to replace/upgrade the non-brick portion of the siding to vinyl.

This well maintained property underwent a complete renovation in 2010, including the replacement of the roofs, siding, and windows. Property amenities include an office/clubhouse and pool.

The property underwent a renovation in 2010, including the replacement of the roofs, siding, and windows. Property amenities include a clubhouse/leasing office and pool, which are located on Phase 2 of the property.

"The borrower is a repeat Centerline client with many years of experience developing, owning and managing multifamily real estate in the local area," commented James Kelly, Vice President, Mortgage Banking at Centerline. "This three-property portfolio represents the sixth, seventh, and eighth deals closed with the borrower, making Centerline`s total commitment $96.3 million."
