The University of Wisconsin women's hockey team is once again hosting its Fill the Bowl game.

The game on Saturday is a fundraiser to support the Second Harvest Food Bank.

Last year, Wisconsin hosted rival Minnesota, but this year, it's the top-ranked Badgers hosting Bemidji State.

"Last year's event against Minnesota with almost 11,000 people was certainly a special evening," coach Mark Johnson said. "People got entertained with a great hockey game and certainly was worthy of raising a lot of money for a good cause."

The Badgers host Bemidji State on Friday night to open the series.

"We're looking forward to this week as we get ready for Bemidji Friday and Saturday night," Johnson said.

A pair of demolition permit applications will be up for Plan Commission review on March 7. The Madison Plan Commission will review plans to tear down a rooming house located at 931 West Johnson Street and a a two-flat apartment building located at 925 West Johnson Street to be demolished, according to documents filed with the city.

The paperwork showed that both properties are owned by the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents. 

The three and 1.5 story wood frame rooming house was acquired in 2000 and has been leased as student housing up until 2007 when it became vacant. The building was built in 1909 as a rooming house and has a total living area of 8,056 square feet.

This 2.5 story wood frame, two-flat home was acquired in 1999 and has been leased as student housing up until 2009 when it became vacant. The house was built in 1909 as a single-family home and has a total living area of 2,070 square feet.

As part of the ongoing renovation of the Charter Street Heating Plant, officials will conduct a "steam blow" at the plant Jan. 30 through Feb. 3.

The purpose of the procedure is to clean steam piping that runs from new boilers to the plant's steam turbine generator, which requires incoming steam to be free of any loose materials.

The cleaning is accomplished by blowing high-pressure steam through the piping to dislodge any foreign materials.

Because of the use of pressurized steam, people in the area may notice some noise during the procedure, which is expected to run continuously from Monday, Jan. 30 at 7 a.m. until Friday, Feb. 3 at 7 p.m. At the plant's property lines, noise is expected to be within city requirements.

The cleaning will also produce a plume of white water vapor from the masonry stack at the plant.
