A fast-growing Southern California construction company has expanded into Sonoma County, serving a market familiar to the founder.

San Diego-based Same Day Heating, Cooling, Plumbing opened a second location in Windsor in January, according to an announcement Friday. The 5,000-square-foot location at 600 American Way employs 22 people, the company told the Business Journal.

Owner Jonathan Winterstellar was general manager of One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning in Santa Rosa for a year and later held the same position for four and a half years at the company now called Moore Home Services, also in Santa Rosa, the Journal reported. He founded Same Day in early 2019 in his hometown of San Diego and left Moore shortly after it was acquired by a private equity fund in 2019, according to the press release and Journal reporting.

“I am thrilled to be back in the North Bay, a region I know and love,” Wintersteller said in the announcement. “At Same Day, we're not just about providing service; we want to create a different culture in the HVAC industry. Our focus is on building personal relationships with our customers and creating a work environment where our team is valued. I look forward to bringing that ethos to the North Bay region.”

Same Day ranked 84th on Inc. magazine's list of fastest-growing independent companies in the Pacific Rim in 2024, with revenue growth of 165% during 2021-2023. With the new Windsor location, the company employs 94 people.

Moore made the Inc. 5000 list for the sixth and final time in 2019, ranking 1,999th with three-year revenue growth of 201%. He finished 2018 with revenue of $27.6 million and 140 employees, the Journal reported.

The company is led by President and CEO Zachary Johnson, who most recently served as general manager for Republic Services' California and Utah operations, according to Same Day. Johnson holds a master's degree in sports management and an MBA from the University of Michigan.

Rudy Colombini, the frontman of a Rolling Stones cover band, is neither modest nor reserved about his passion: San Francisco's Music City, a complex dedicated to musicians and musicianship at all levels. It may sound straight out of Nashville, but it's right here in the Lower Nob Hill neighborhood.

“This is the most important damn artistic project in the United States,” Colombini told The Standard.

The three-story facility, where 20 new rehearsal spaces opened Friday, offers future stars everything from living space to rehearsal rooms, dedicated audiences and an array of refreshments. In the company's fundraising materials, Colombini is equally grandiose, describing the complex as “Motown Records, CBGB, the Chelsea Hotel, Abbey Road Studios, the Berklee School of Music, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, all in one building.” “San.” Francisco.”

SARASOTA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

The company added its 27th market nationwide as Comfort Wave Home Services, an HVAC, plumbing and electrical service provider, announced it had opened its first location in Oklahoma City this month.

With Oklahoma City’s friendly business climate and rapid growth, it seemed like the perfect fit in our greenfield initiative,” said Andy Piercefield, Vice President of Business Development and Retail Operations at Wrench Group.

Diddy sued for rape, sex trafficking: The signer Cassie filed a suit Thursday against Sean “Diddy” Combs, the rapper, hiphop mogul, and billionaire. Combs signed a then-19-year-old Cassie to his label in 2005. At the time, Combs was 37. Several years later, the two entered into a romantic relationship. However, according to Cassie, Combs “raped her in her home after she tried to leave him, ‘blew up’ another man’s car after learning of his romantic interest in the singer, and often beat and kicked her,” NBC News reports. She also alleged Combs forced her to engage in sex acts with other men while he filmed it. Cassie named Combs as well as Bad Boy Records, Bad Boy Entertainment, Epic Records, and Combs Enterprises as defendants.

UN stops delivering food to Gaza: After telephone and internet service in Gaza failed due to a lack of food, the United Nations said it was forced to stop delivering food and supplies. The UN warned of widespread starvation. Israel budged a tiny bit and said it would allow “‘very minimal’ daily shipments of fuel into Gaza for use by the UN and communications system,” according to the Associated Press. However, the UN said the amount Israel has greenlit will not be enough “to fuel water systems, hospitals, and trucks to deliver aid.”

Protesters block bridges: Over 200 protesters blocked the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge to urge President Joe Biden to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Biden was in San Francisco for a global trade summit. Protestors blocked all lanes of the bridge’s upper deck with their cars. Some even threw their keys into the bay. Police arrested 80 people and had 29 cars towed. Bostonian ceasefire protesters also blocked some car infrastructure, stalling traffic across the bridge connecting Boston to Cambridge for two hours. 

Rep. George Santos faces expulsion—again: On Thursday, the House Ethics Committee found “substantial evidence” that Santos “used campaign funds for personal purposes, defrauded donors, and filed false or incomplete campaign finance and financial disclosures,” the New York Times reports. According to the report, Santos may have used that campaign money for personal Botox and to pay for OnlyFans subscriptions. Santos announced he would not be running for reelection. On Friday, Republican Rep. Michael Guest, chairman of the House Ethics Committee, filed a resolution seeking to expel Santos from Congress.

As Water Reuse Expands, Proponents Battle the ‘Yuck’ Factor

Published 8:30 am Sunday, August 6, 2023

Jim Robbins

August 4, 2023

When Janet Cruz lost an April election for a Tampa City Council seat, she became a political casualty of an increasingly high-stakes debate over recycled water.

During her time in the Florida Legislature, Cruz had supported a new law allowing the use of treated wastewater in local water systems. But many Tampa residents were staunchly opposed to a plan by their water utility to do just that, and Cruz was forced to backtrack, with her spokesperson asserting she had never favored the type of complete water reuse known as “toilet to tap.” She lost anyway, and the water plan has been canceled.

Tampa’s showdown may be a harbinger of things to come as climate change and drought cause water shortages in many parts of the country. With few alternatives for expanding supply, cities and states are rapidly adding recycled water to their portfolios and expanding the ways in which it can be used. Researchers say it’s safe — and that it’s essential to move past the 20th century notion that wastewater must stay flushed.

“There is no reason to only use water once,” said Peter Fiske, director of the National Alliance for Water Innovation at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. “We’ve got to be more clever with the water we’ve got.”

But proponents are still fighting an uphill battle to overcome the “yuck” factor. A recent study found that reused water is not only safe but that it’s actually cleaner than conventionally sourced water — yet acceptance is “hindered by perceptions of poor water quality and potential health threats.”

Several projects were canceled in California in the 1990s because of such worries. In San Gabriel, Miller Brewing Company opposed a water reclamation project when people started joking about “beer aged in porcelain.”

“You have to have a lot of education in a community to say why [recycled water] is needed” and what experts are doing to ensure the safety of the water, said Noelle George, the Texas managing director for the trade association WateReuse.

Many forms of water reuse have long been routine. Water from yard sprinklers, for example, soaks into the groundwater. Or, if it is processed in a treatment plant, it goes into a river or lake, where it’s used again. Municipalities and others often treat a form of wastewater known as gray water to use for irrigation.

But in the world of water reuse, the gold standard is known as direct potable reuse — cleaning wastewater, including sewage, to drinking water standards.

With DPR systems, the water from showers, sinks, and toilets first goes to a conventional treatment plant, where it is disinfected with chemicals and aeration. Then it gets a second scrubbing in a multistage process that first uses a bioreactor to break down nitrogen compounds, then employs microfiltration to clean out particles and reverse osmosis to remove viruses, bacteria, and salts. Finally, hydrogen peroxide is added and the water goes through an ultraviolet light processing, which is supposed to kill any contaminants that are left.

Experts say the water that emerges at the end of this process is so clean it has no taste, and that minerals must be added to give the water flavor. It’s also free of a little-known health hazard; chlorine, often used to disinfect conventional water, can react with organic material in the water to create chloroform, exposure to which can cause negative health effects.

Big Spring, Texas, is the only place in the country with a DPR municipal water system, in which all wastewater is treated and sent back to the tap. Another notable DPR system is the Changi Water Reclamation Plant in Singapore, which cleans 237 million gallons each day.

In Tampa, intense opposition focused on the high cost of the water treatment and the possible presence of pharmaceuticals, hormones, and so-called forever chemicals, known as PFAS.

“We have never thought that it was necessary to drink wastewater,” said Gary Gibbons, the vice chair of the Tampa Bay Sierra Club, in September 2022. He said the project, which the city referred to by the acronym PURE, would result in contaminants in the drinking water and the groundwater aquifer.

Experts reject these concerns as uninformed and say properly treated wastewater is safer than a lot of conventional drinking water sources.

“I would almost rather have an advanced treatment plant of the type used for potable water recycling than water that comes from a river that has several cities and farms and industries upstream that are discharging into it,” said David L. Sedlak, an expert on potable reuse at the University of California-Berkeley.

With higher temperatures and long-term pressure on water sources including aquifers and mountain snowpacks, a lot more water reuse is coming.

In Texas, the state permits DPR plants on a case-by-case basis, and the city of El Paso is building one that’s slated to be online by 2026. Colorado last year began allowing DPR. In California, regulations spelling out the approach to DPR should be ready by the end of this year, with some cities setting goals of recycling all water by 2035. Florida and Arizona are also moving to expand direct potable reuse.

There’s also a lot of activity around what’s known as indirect potable reuse. Orange County, California, has the world’s largest IPR facility, which cleans 130 million gallons of water a day to irrigation standards, passes it through advanced purification, and finally injects it into groundwater, which serves as an environmental buffer. The water is then piped to all municipal users.

San Francisco is pioneering another approach. Since 2015, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, which operates the dams, reservoirs, and aqueducts that deliver water from the Sierra Nevada to the city, has required all buildings over 100,000 square feet be equipped for recycling gray water. The downtown Salesforce Tower has its own recycling plant: Sinks, laundry machines, and showers drain into the basement recycling system, and the water is then reused for flushing toilets and irrigation, saving about 30,000 gallons a day.

“We don’t need to flush toilets with drinking water,” said Fiske, noting that toilets make up about 30% of all water use.

San Francisco water officials are studying the feasibility and safety of cleaning all wastewater to potable standards at the building level. The headquarters of the water utility has a blackwater system called the Living Machine that uses engineered wetlands in the sidewalks around the building to treat wastewater, cutting water use by two-thirds. (Blackwater systems recycle water from toilets; gray water systems reuse water from all other drains.)

Some experts see a day when buildings will not have to be hooked up to external sewer and water systems at all, with advanced recycling systems augmented by rainwater. For the moment, though, educational campaigns are still needed to bring recycled water into the mainstream.

Epic Cleantec, which created a recycling system for a new San Francisco apartment tower, thought beer might help. The company last year teamed up with a local brewery to produce beer from recycled water. The Epic OneWater Brew by Devil’s Canyon Brewing isn’t sold; rather, it’s a demonstration product, given away and served at events.

While people might not want to drink recycled water, they will usually try the beer.

“We made beer out of recycled water, because we’re trying to change the conversation,” said Aaron Tartakovsky, CEO of Epic Cleantec. “We’re fundamentally trying to help people rethink how our communities handle water.”

EAGAN, Minnesota (AP) — The NFL has expanded a program for minorities and women in sports medicine with the goal of…

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The NFL has expanded a minority and women’s sports medicine program with the goal of increasing diversity among athletic coaches and medical staff across the league in line with similar initiatives for coaches and the front office.

The league announced Monday at spring owner meetings in Minnesota an expansion of the pool to bring together diverse students from 19 medical schools with NFL clubs.

The NFL Diversity in Sports Medicine Pipeline initiative started last year with 14 medical students from historically black colleges and universities completing month-long clinical rotations with eight NFL teams in partnership with the NFL Physicians Society and the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society. Medical students interested in primary care sports medicine and orthopedic surgery were selected for the pilot program, and this year the number of participants more than doubled.

“We need more minorities, diverse people. We need more women to continue participating in programs, in colleges and in high school,” said Reggie Scott, vice president of sports medicine and performance for the Los Angeles Rams.

The league plans to expand the initiative in the future to include other player care disciplines such as physical therapy and behavioral health into the immersive and holistic program. The overarching goal is to reinforce the historical under-representation of women, as well as Black, Latino and other minorities in this area.

With the education process spanning more than a decade, from medical school to residency to fellowship, another goal of the NFL is to raise awareness of these professions higher up.

“The sooner we can inspire people, the sooner they can address the requirements, bring them into the programs and then allow them to start looking for mentors,” said Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL’s chief medical officer.

“So not only are they knowledgeable in the field, but they can also be confident applicants when it comes to enrolling and settling into areas like orthopedic surgery,” said Kelsey Henderson, a graduate of Meharry Medical College in Nashville. the 2022 contestant was with the Tennessee Titans.

Henderson had a picture of her with Sills and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in her yearbook, a potential inspiration for future contestants.

“When I applied to medical school, I really didn’t have any mentors, so I just had to figure it out for myself,” said Omolayo Dada, a 2022 program participant from Atlanta’s Morehouse School of Medicine who worked with the San Francisco 49ers.

“I felt like part of the family from the start,” Dada said.
