During this time, the U.Va. heat plant will continue its normal operation, as allowed by its air permit. It will continue to operate three boilers on coal and one on oil in order to provide heat to the hospital and other buildings. In addition, the plant's fifth boiler will be kept warm so that it can quickly be brought on line if necessary. This should not cause any adverse impact to the surrounding neighborhoods. U.Va.

If an outage occurs I have wired it to run my 4 sump pumps, furnace, refrigerator, computer, and some other essentials. I did this after having two severe basement floods- the last one filling my basement to a height of 5 feet and nearly reaching ground floor. The generator is not cheap ($2,200 Internet cost) and installation can be done by yourself- if you feel comfortable with wiring etc. but will cost about $500 otherwise and the City of C-Ville will charge you another $500 to install a independent "high-pressure" gas meter since the generator needs a higher delivery pressure than your existing gas supply.Even considering all that, it was worth it to me for the piece of mind that I do not have to be at home to monitor my sumps and that the supply of natural gas (should) be unlimited even during a prolonged outage. Anyone interested can contact me-the installation is at 1929 Lewis Mountain. Bill Knaus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ William A.

U.Va. Employees Give Generously to Community U.Va. employees have helped the community in record numbers through their participation in the 2003 United Way Laurence E. Richardson Day of Caring and the 2003 Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign, University officials announced this week. Approximately 3,200 U.Va. employees contributed a total of $595,236 to the campaign, an annual workplace-giving program. Their dollars were designated for more than 400 charities. This is the 11th consecutive year U.Va. has led the state in giving through the CVC. During the September United Way Laurence E. Richardson Day of Caring, a community-service effort started by the local nonprofit organization in 1992, nearly 400 U.Va. employees completed 47 volunteer projects ranging from painting and landscaping to reading to children and sprucing up schools. The number of participants in the community service day increased by 33 percent over the 258 volunteers who participated the previous year. Their efforts correspond to 1,705 volunteer labor hours valued at more than $27,000. U.Va.'s Black Graduation Rate Tops List for Public Universities U.Va. once again posted the nation's highest African-American graduation rate among public institutions, according to an annual survey in the December 2003 issue of the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education. The University has maintained the top spot for the past 10 years. The survey recognizes U.Va. for graduating 85 percent of the African-American students who entered in the fall of 1996. The next highest rates among leading state universities were found at the University of New Hampshire and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, both graduating 66 percent of their black students. Read the article at http://www.virginia.edu/insideuva/black_grad_rate.html. Board of Visitors Committee Opens Housing Discussion Members of U.Va.'s Board of Visitors Student Affairs and Athletics Committee began discussing in October issues related to student housing at the University. Topics under consideration included the need to renovate or replace 11 residence halls on Grounds, projected enrollment growth at the University, and the impact of University housing policies on the off-Grounds housing market. Chairman Thomas F. Farrell II anticipates that the discussions will continue over the next several months. For an article describing the discussion, http://www.virginia.edu/insideuva/2003/18/student_housing.html. U.Va. Off-Grounds Housing Office Taking Shape Members of the Board of Visitors recently endorsed the establishment of an off-grounds housing office at U.Va. The office, expected to open in May, will help students understand the details of renting in the community and will establish relationships with local landlords.

Signs indicating the closing are in place in four locations near the site. Weather permitting, scaffolding, approximately 80 feet in height, will be erected on the front surface of the Chapel bell tower between now and February 6.

The Chapel will remain accessible throughout this period. Construction Updates Aquatic and Fitness Center Addition The project is 82 percent complete. Roofing work is almost complete, and masonry is continuing on all sides. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing work continues. Normal construction activity and noise continue.
