Aerospace industry wins and losses in Olympia

There were victories in workforce training and education and certain tax exemptions that benefit maintenance, repair and overhaul companies like Everett's Aviation Technical Services. But transportation, a key priority for the industry as oft-mentioned by Gov. Jay Inslee, fell by the wayside on the final day of the session last weekend.

Linda Lanham, executive director of the Aerospace Futures Alliance, an industry lobbying group, overall was upbeat about the implications for the state's aerospace supply chain.

"I think we did really well," Lanham said, noting successes on workforce training and the aforementioned tax exemption. "We got several bills that helped a lot of the suppliers."

As for how the state's largest aerospace company, Boeing, might view the session, Lanham wasn't optimistic. The lobbyist expressed disappointment that a compromise couldn't be reached on pollution standards on water discharged by large facilities like Boeing's Renton and Everett factories. Boeing and other aerospace companies were pushing for a study on fish consumption to re-examine whether tougher standards are actually necessary.

"I'd be concerned about what kind of message that sends Chicago," home of Boeing's corporate headquarters, "about our competitiveness," Lanham said.

Here's a look at the Legislature's aerospace-related action, and inaction, this year in Olympia:

Passed: Workforce development, tax exemptions

In February, Inslee addressed the industry for the first time as governor, speaking to about 400 aerospace leaders at a conference in Lynnwood.

"The most important thing I can do is to provide skilled workers to you," he told them.

Beware of This Fake Anti-Aging Drug

Posted on by

A phony anti-aging drug that was banned 30 years ago in the U.S. may be making an illegal comeback, research shows.

Thomas Perls, MD, of Boston Universitys School of Medicine, said that anti-aging and longevity clinics advertise Gerovital H3 in pill form and as intravenous infusions. The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA0 banned the subanstance in 1982.

His findings were published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

Gerovital H3, the dental anesthetic novocaine, was widely abused in the 1950s by Hollywood stars, and is often included as an additive to cocaine. A study conducted by a Romanian physician in that same decade claimed that the substance had substantial anti-aging properties. That study was later discredited. Later studies failed to prove that Gerotival H3 prevented cognitive impairment or dementia.

Yet today an internet search comes up with more than 300,000 hits, including sales of the substance by U.S.-based companies.

Perls said that the recent jump in marketing and sales in the U.S. is primarily due to Internet-based marketing.

Inquiring patients and the public, he added, need to be informed about the approved and unapproved uses of procaine hydrochloride and aware that there is no scientific evidence supporting any systemic health benefits or anti-aging effects of the drug.

Fired up over freedom

Posted on by

Food, fireworks and freedom. That pretty much sums up the Fourth of July for Americans, and Reedley residents are no exception in enjoying all three on Independence Day.

This July 4, it will be 237 years since the Second Continental Congress voted to approve the Declaration of Independence, which proclaimed that the 13 American colonies were independent from Great Britain.

To mark the holiday, The Exponent surveyed folks around town and asked two questions: What food do you most associate with the Fourth of July and what freedom is most important?

As for fireworks, the 62nd Reedley Spectacular will put on its traditional big show at the Reedley Sports Park. Gates open at 6 p.m. The pyrotechnics start at dark.

As for the top freedom, Andrew said: I believe that every freedom is the most important because youre not free unless you have all the freedoms. Right?

Gary and Brooke Carrasco said hamburgers, hot dogs and potato salad top their July 4 menu. Theyre easy and convenient, said Brooke Carrasco, 22. Gary Carrasco is 30.

Brooke Carrasco said freedom of speech is at the top of her list: Its the right to express your opinion and get your point of view across. You can disagree and you can make a change, she said.

Freedom of religion also is important. Everyone should be comfortable with what they live by, Brooke Carrasco said.

Heres how other people answered the food-freedom questions:

Allison Mackie, 18. Food: Anything barbecue. Its the easiest way to stay outdoors and cook at the same time. She most values the freedom of association. I can have my own friends and boyfriend. Its not like that all over the world. I worked once with a girl and her grandmother said, Youre not meeting someone quickly enough, and I want you to have children before I die so Im going to fly someone over for an arranged marriage.
