  • Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for February 25, 2025.

    Today, we're starting with some important reminders and events happening around town. The Bellingham Senior Center has a variety of activities lined up for this month. If you're looking for something to do today, don't miss the presentation on heart health by Celeste Kopech from Salmon Health and Retirement at 11:30 a.m. This informative session will cover types of heart disease, symptoms, risk factors, and treatment options, as well as lifestyle modifications for a healthier heart. To reserve your spot, call the Senior Center at 508-966-0398.

    In other news, the Senior Center is also hosting a Chinese-Food Monthly Birthday Party on February 27th for those born in February. Make sure to sign up if you're celebrating a birthday this month. Additionally, the Knitters & Quilters Group at the Senior Center has been busy creating handmade shawls for Bellingham residents who turned 90 years old in 2024. These thoughtful gifts are a testament to the community's spirit and dedication to its seniors.

    For those interested in history, the Senior Center is presenting "Black History Month & the Underground Railroad in the Blackstone Valley" on Friday, February 21st, from 1-2:30 p.m. Susan Franz will give a presentation on the institution of slavery in New England, the rise of the Underground Railroad, and abolition movements. Although this event has passed, it's a reminder of the rich historical discussions happening in our community.

    Moving on to other local events, if you're looking for something to do tonight, Uisce Irish Pub is hosting "Aiming for a Good Time" starting at 7 p.m. And for wine enthusiasts, there's a Wine Night at 2925 Newmarket St on February 27th.

    In other local news, Whatcom County has seen a high peak in flu cases, with 7 influenza deaths reported as of February 15, 2025. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions to stay healthy.

    Weather-wise, a wind advisory has been issued for southeasterly winds, with tree limbs potentially being blown down and a few power outages possible. An atmospheric river is expected to bring a series of storms into next week, with heavy rain forecasted for Saturday and Sunday.

    Finally, a reminder for property owners impacted by November windstorms: the deadline for applying for financial assistance is approaching. If your primary home had major damage or was destroyed, you may qualify for assistance.
