Bagley , the Ex- ecutive Director of the Dallas Area Municipal Authority (DAMA), has recently contributed to a mono- graph which is published globally by the Water Environment Fed- eration. The publication focuses on the effect of excess flows to treatment plants caused by house sewer connections and can be used by wastewater system op- erators. The publication, which was prepared under a cooperative agreement with the US Environ- mental Protection Agency contains an overview of DAMA as a small sized agency and uses the DAMA inspections report as a model for conducting final inspection of house sewer lines. The Water Environment Fed- eration is a not-for-profit techni- cal and educational organization, and its goal is to preserve and enhance the global water envi- ronment. Federation members number more than 42,000 water quality professionals and special- ists from around the world. Mr. Bagley has been an active member of the federation for over 17 years. In addition to authoring this publication, he has worked on a soon to made available Fed- eration video titled “Building Sewer Installation and Inspec- tion”. Mr. Bagley has stated in the introduction of the publication that communities are now or will soon be facing unprecedented challenges and costs in maintain- ing their aging sewer system in- frastructure. It is his hope that since a sewer system is mostly an “out of sight, out of mind” utility, public education programs like this will increase awareness. Lee R.

This years program was the first ecumenical famine and was the result of several months planning by the Wyoming Valley Youth Council. Partici- pants raised funds and aware- ness of world hunger by obtaining pledges and donations for fasting up to 30 hours. The highlight of ‘the famine was traveling to four different churches to participate in planned activities. The week- end began with fasting, singing and skits on hunger at Back Mountain Harvest Assembly, Trucksville then onto Prince of . Peace Episcopal Church, Dallas to learn about life in third world countries through exercises and role-playing. Next, the group trav- eled to Trinity Presbyterian Church, Dallas for worship and sleep and in the morning, guest speakers told about their mis- sionary work in third world coun- tries. The youth also visited Mountainside Manor and Mercy Center Nursing Homes where they made decorations and played bingo with residents. The last stop was at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Shavertown, where their clown ministry "Jesters for Jesus", provided entertainment with a skit on world hunger. The fast was broken at noon with pizza and soft drinks provided by Grotto and Pepsi Cola. Churches participating in the famine were: Back Mountain Har- vest Assembly, Huntsville Chris- tian Church, Prince of Peace Epis- copal Church, St. Paul's Lutheran Church, St. Therese's Roman Catholic Church, Trinity Presby- terian Church, and Shavertown United Methodist Church. The funds raised from this event are donated to World Vision, a non-profit Christian organization, which provides crisis response and" development projects around the world.
