Gov. Hassan tours flood damaged towns, toll will be in millions
Gov. Maggie Hassan visited the Slayton Hill Road bridge in Lebanon, where a newly opened affordable housing complex was evacuated due to flooding and a landslide, which closed the bridge.
"This is devastating and we've got to figure out how to get these people's homes back," she said outside of the flood ravaged Rivermere affordable housing development in Lebanon. "It's really extraordinary what the power of water can do."
State officials are already estimating the cost to repair the damage exceeds the $2 million FEMA threshold for federal repair funds, she said, and are working to document all of the damage that has occurred from the weather system that started last Wednesday.
Residents who have personal property damage to report or are aware of any public property damage that has not been assessed yet are encouraged to call 211 to report the damage, she said.
While on Hassan's stop in the town of Washington, DOT Commissioner Chris Clement said they had visited a shelter housing about 20 teens who had been on a camping trip.
Clements and Perry Plummer, acting director of the NH Homeland Security and Emergency Management, said they had seen a lot of washed out roads damaged in flash floods that morning.
Clements commented of the sporadic nature of where the damage hit and where it didn't.
"It's kind of a strange phenomenon," he said.
When asked about Route 12 A in Alstead, which had been rebuilt after floods washed it out in 2005, Clements said larger and more culverts will be used when the road is rebuilt since the mountainous terrain the road winds through makes widening or shifting the road impossible.
When Hassan reached Lebanon she met privately with Fire Chief Christopoulos to discuss the closed Route 120 that had suffered a water main break during the tumultuous rain event in the city on Tuesday afternoon.
Outside of the meeting he said the route should be reopened by evening. The state road also had suffered a great deal of washout.
It is estimated about 1.8 inches of rain fell on the city in about 45 minutes, he said.
Damage to the Storrs Ski Area has caused Lebanon to cancel its Fourth of July fireworks show that is held there every year, he said.
Christopoulos declined to give an estimate of the cost of the damage to the city as the damage was still being assessed.
Hassan then visited Slayton Hill Road and Dulac Street where the newly opened affordable housing complex Rivermere had been evacuated due to a landslide and flooding. She almost lost a boot to the mud she said while touring the inside of a mud-filled apartment.
Seventeen families comprised of 42 people were evacuated, said Andrew Winter, executive director of the Twin Pine Housing Trust that owns the development.
The federally funded development offers low-income residents affordable housing, he said. Residents pay 30 percent of their income. Currently the families are being put up in local hotel and motels by the Trust. However, the development is mud filled and without power and water, Winter said.
So he is beginning the process of finding permanent housing for the residents. Something that is not going to be easy since the Housing Trust that has over 200 properties in the Upper Valley region usually only has a handful of vacancies because of the high demand for affordable housing, he said.
It's a "heartbreaking" situation, he said. These families are the least able to afford having to relocate, he said.
Waiting outside of their home at 4 Dulac Street to talk to Hassan were father and son Albert Craig Sr. and Jr.
The family has lived on Dulac Street since 1996, Craig Jr. said, and in that time he's never seen the neighborhood so "ponded" during a rainfall.
The Craigs said they believe the new housing development that was built at the end of the street by filling in wetlands and raising the ground level caused the Slayton Hill runoff that devastated Slayton Hill Road and Dulac Street and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Craig JR. said he understood the development residents had been excavated, but there are about 24 families in the neighbourhoods who don't live in the development who are without power and water.
Craig Sr. said they are currently living in a hotel at their own expense.
The Craig family lost about ten feet of their yard into the Mascoma River.

Tink was bred with our stud dog Rascal. They had had this little cute cream male on October 10th. Tink's puppy will turn 7 weeks on 11/28. He will be ready for new family any time he turns 9 weeks on 12/12. SO he will be ready in time for Christmas!
Row 1: PROUD PARENTS: TINK & RASCAL
Row 2 & 3: Toby with Carrie
Toby, is a cream male. Toby is available for $4500. He is really so adorable. I love his coloring and the cream on his little face. His mamma is one of my favorites and his dad Rascal is just that...a little heart stealer. Toby got a bath and nail trim and did great. He is really on the move now and loves toys and playing with Carrie.
See me in action on our video page.
READ about what comes with a puppy from us on the about us page & some of what our puppies are doing each week on the "about us" page.
Mom: - Tink is the daughter of our cream female Pinkie. We've kept both girls from Pinkie and they have been together since they were born and they love each other's company. Tink is a beautiful Frenchie. She weights 23 lbs. Like her mother she has an amazing temperament that can't be beat! Tink is a 4th generation BlueGrass Frenchies, so we have a long line of offspring with very happy families.
Dad: Rascal is our little homegrown cream male weighing just 16 lbs...and pure muscle. He is just as stocky as can be with short back and great boxy head. He is a total love bug too. You can see more information about him on him on our stud dog page. Be sure and pull up his pedigree to see all of his champions. I knew from the moment he was born that I couldn't let him go. You can't go wrong with a puppy sired by Rascal.

Ella is a Jet Black female. Ella is available for $5000.
All of these puppies are have the nice boxy heads and short cobby bodies. They just got their first nail trim and did really well. We make is our goal to handle our puppies lots. This helps them become more social and get used to people lost faster. Naturally mom is keeping them really clean. We just like to keep nails trimmed even when they are young so that they don't dig too hard into Ember while they are nursing. Yes, you have to think of everything just like with your kids.
You can see mom in the top row going for a walk while carring her babies. We have other pictures of her if you are interested just email me.
I will post her other girl and her BLUE male in the next section.
See us hanging out on our video page.
Mom: Ember is on one beautiful Brindle Frenchie. Her dad is a true BLUE so she is a BLUE carrier female. Her puppies have the chance to be full BLUES if she throws the right gene in the mating. We are excited to see what her puppies will be like but even more importantly Ember is such a sweetie pie. She loves children and is so wonderful & gentle with kids and puppies. She is all about having a good time. Well really, what Frenchie isn't? In this picture she we are walking her while she is carring her puppies. Ember has that striking brindle with just a beautiful coat. She has a great conformation to match her winning temperament & weighs just 22 lbs.! Looking forward to may wonderful years with this loving Frenchie. We know families that get one of her puppies will be just as taken with one of her babies as we are with her!
Dad: Midnight Blue is one beautiful male. We were taken with him at first sight. I think that is how it happens for everyone and we are no exception. We looked forever and ever to find just the right stud to add to our BlueGrass Family and that is no easy thing to do because we strive to carry the best Frenchies you can find. Blue fit right in and loved the girls just as they loved him from the time we brought him home. Blue is a little guy weighing just 19 lbs. He has great conformation and a personality to match. Once bred to our hand raised Frenchies the perect little ones are sure to follow. There is nothing that compares to a puppy that is hand raised. When you get a puppy from us you know that you are getting well socialized.

You can read about some of what we are doing each week on the "about us" page. This kinda gives you a run down of what we are doing.
I had an EKU student come and job shadow me yesterday. It was funny because one of the questions that he asked me was what percent of your business is return customers. I'd never really thought about it in terms of numbers. It would be like have a number in your head on how many are in your own family. It is always growing and changing. Anyway, I said well lets look over the puppies that we have just placed and see.
*Shoni is going to a family that was a referral from a family that has one of our Frenchies.
*Huey's family is getting their 3rd Frenchie from us. No they aren't breeders...they just wanted to have 3 little piggies.
*Marlow's family has one of our Frenchies Hudson.
*Gus is Ginny's 2nd BlueGrass family.
Sooooo, I've never really looked at it in terms of percents but looks like at might be a pretty high number. I think I blew Eric away with 100% repeats and/or referrals.
Shoni is a beautiful little cream girl from Gracie. She was born on Election day. SHe was just scooped up by the Rao family. They were a referral from our Frenchie Dinah's family here in Kentucky. Special wags to Dinah and Congrats to the Rao family!
Huey is going to one of our BlueGrass families as well. He will be the families third little guy from us. They already have Zeus and Hercules. I know they will adore this little guy too and he will love playing with their other Frenchies. CONGRATS to the Holy family!
Marlow, is a small honey fawn male with cream bolt on his forehead. He looks like he is gonna be small like his Mamma. Congrats to the Koton family! They are adding their 2nd Frenchie from us. We know Hudson will love his new little brother.
Gus is our little cream male from Izzy. He has been adopted by Ginny. She is excited to be adding him to her "furry family". Gus joins her pack and her other BlueGrass Frenchie brother Huntley. I'm looking forward to seeing Ginny again soon. CONGRATS!
Carrie has been working with little Springsteen "Gus" for a almost 2 weeks now and he is doing great. She is working on getting him to come to her when she calls him and his house training. In the next weeks Carrie will add crate training and being working a little on sit.
Hi Kay,I wanted to let you know I took Cooper to the vet yesterday and he was a superstar. From the vet to the front desk workers Cooper had them all under his spell. Cooper was of course enjoying all the attention and was at his most charming. One assistant even said she has seen a lot of puppies but that Cooper was the cutest pup she had ever seen. I, of course, agreed. The vet said he was a beautiful pup and very healthy.
He has such a great personality and laid back attitude. Everyone that meets him LOVES him. He is doing great on his potty training and has even learned to ring the bell we have on the door like the big dogs do. He was quite proud of himself for learning that trick, as he should be.
He fits so well into our family that it feels like he has always been here. I have attached a picture that really shows how well he has adjusted.
Thanks for such a great new family member.

Elvis is such a handsome, playful, & incredibly sweet boy. My husband, Lucy, and I are so in LOVE with him. Photos, simply do not do justice & fails to capture his perfect proportions & his incredible good looks.
Elvis is 19 LBS (on the nose) & was neutered + micro-chipped last week.
Although his weight is similar to Lucy, he is shorter, more compact, & has a bigger head. (good things)
He hardly sleeps, & prefers to play with Lucy or with his toys all day.
His smile makes everyone swoon... and for this reason... I don't allow my husband to take him to the dog parks alone because all the girls...
My husband likes to say Elvis is the perfect 'pick up line' if he was a single man....
Anyhow, Elvis is perfect & you breed the most incredible Frenchies!
Thank you for reaching out to us, Kay!!!

I wanted to tell you about our trip to the vet. My vet has never spend that much time with any of my animals. He was so delighted. He was tickled pink with Benedict "Gus" . The whole office (5 vet techs and 2 office ladies) went on and on about what an amazing breeder you are! I think I've said your website at least 6 times this morn. Ppl are completely taken by how perfect he (and you) are!!! Thank you so so much:)- The Buxton Family!
Hello Kay, I have to tell you that Walter is keeping us laughing constantly. He is fearless and what a clown. I should buy stock in Pet Smart with the amount of toys I have bought for Walter and always in the smaller sizes, however Walter's favorite toys are Merlin's and are all bigger than him, but he marches off with these bigger toys like he owns the place. He is not just a comedian however he loves to snuggle and is such a charmer. He is growing in leaps and bounds and could out race the road runner. Never a dull moment in our house and I think that Merlin has finally figured out that his new BFF is not going anywhere, did I mention that Merlin is Walter's most favorite toy.
Thank for the newest addition to our life he is pure joy.
P.S. Attached a photo, you can see Walter was in the thick of it helping Maddy get ready for the Prom!

Hey Kay, I just wanted to let you know that we're doing great...Winston is getting so big! He weighed 8lbs the last time we had him at the vet. He's a great mix of playful and cuddly. His favorite places are my head/neck if we're lying down or my lap...though thankfully he only puts his head on my neck instead of his whole self like he did when he was smaller. He's still doing really well with training--both potty training and commands--it impresses me with how smart he is...which leads me to a story I thought you'd appreciate.
There is a high school girl that I am mentoring, and I picked her up from school yesterday before taking her to lab, and on the way I stopped to take Winston out and what not. When he saw her, he got SO excited and tried to 'fly' out of my arms to get to her. It was all I could do to hold the wiggly creature to get him safely to the ground. Then, nothing would do but for her to pick him up, and when she did, he wiggled and shook and gave her sooooo many kisses. Now, he loves me to pieces and is excited and loving, but he has NEVER acted that way for ANYONE, and I wondered why....then it struck me...as unlikely as it may seem, I think he remembers your younger daughter because I looked at the picture I still had of her holding him on the website, and my mentee actually looks like a slightly older version of her...not exactly but really really close. I'm sure they must smell different, but he acted the way my other dogs do when I've been away for a while and they've only had dad. I thought it was really sweet, and if true, a testament to the extra attention you give these guys that they would remember so strongly. I didn't think to take a picture, so the next time she's over there with him, I'll try to do that.
UPDATE: I hope the move and everything is still going well! I wanted to tell you about Winston's trip to the vet yesterday. He was in for his rabies vaccination and an exam. The vet was very impressed with how he's grown to the degree that she said, "I usually don't say this, but you should seriously think about breeding him if he stays like this. He's a perfect example, shape, size, healthy, great temperament, etc. and would be good for the breed." I know you already know how awesome your babies are, but I thought I'd toss in the opinion of an independent vet that doesn't know you and your frenchies.
Hi Kay! I hope this email finds you and your family doing well. We received the calendar and simply love it. I don't know how you find the time to put it together but am so happy you do. It sounds like this will be a busy year for you but full of excitement!
Hi Kay, We are one happy household!! Your family has given us a priceless gift! Our ZuZu is a very funny and brave little Frenchie. He has only been here a little over two weeks and we can't remember life without him.
He wakes up so happy and full if energy, zipping throughout the house. He already runs up the stairs as much as we try to catch him first. He just came down tonight on his own. He is a very big dog in a little body!! Totally fearless which sometimes scares the heck out of us !
Our vet trip was great last week, he got his shot and picked up 1.5 lbs in just over a week. He is growing rapidly and is so handsome and charming! He loves food and we are very careful not to give him table food. He did have a little piece of banana and apple. Just climbed into my lap and helped himself.
Thank you for checking in on us. It is very reassuring to know that we can contact you anytime that we may have a question or concern. It speaks volumes to the fact that they really are your babies!! It must be hard to part with them, fear not we will continue to spoil him with love (and only a couple I'd treats lol).
Best to you all.
Mike, Gloria and family
Kay,Cody is ready to go swimming.....thanks for the calendars. I was shocked & thrilled that Cody was Mr. August. The extra to share was great!
Take care,Xo
Michael and Cody

Hey Kay- I am sure you are so happy the move is over. I am sure it was incredibly stressful. Any move is, and with all you have going on with work and caring for Frenchies, I can't even imagine how you handle it all.
Thank you for the little treat for Chips. He loved it.
He is one of the best things to ever happen to our family. We talk about getting him a play mate, and it's so hard to resist all the puppies when you post new litters online. I suspect we won't be able to resist too much longer.
Thanks again.

Enterprise Computing
WHAT: The Marshals Service is in the market for an enterprise upgrade.
WHY: The agency that runs the federal witness protection program has some pretty strict security needs for a planned data integration platform.
The Marshals' needs for data processing, analytics, and storage are expected to grow, and users across the 94 districts and headquarters need access to a variety of data, including documents and biometrics. There's personally identifiable information that needs a high security storage solution -- federal witnesses, jury information, DNA evidence and more. The agency also needs analytics and geospatial tools to maximize efficiencies and logistics across its transportation line of business -- the U.S. Marshals Service moves 280,000 prisoners each year.
Marshals aren't in the big data business, but their needs are expected to increase over the current capacity of 15 terabytes, according to a July 8 request for information posted on FedBizOpps. The word "cloud" doesn't appear once in the 14-page RFI. Instead, the document refers to "an integrated solution which may involve more than one vendor," that includes commercial, government, and open source elements.
Plans include the integration of agency financial data with in the solution, to support decision making. Any system must also be able to control and track access to records.

A bill proposed in the Kansas Senate would increase penalties for human trafficking and try to protect victims under the age of 18.
The bill introduced Monday would create the new crime of commercial sexual exploitation of a child. It also would allow authorities to treat those caught in human trafficking as victims. And it would create coordinated training for human trafficking enforcement.
A main part of the bill is creating response teams that would provide various placement options for victims. And it would create a human trafficking victim assistance fund.
The bill would make promoting prostitution a felony, with fines ranging from $2,500 to more than $5,000. Patronizing prostitutes would be a misdemeanor with a fine of $2,500 unless it involves a repeat offender.

Rick Clunn still has the fishing bugJerry McKinnis
Just to refresh you a little bit, there have been some heavy-duty articles happening here on Bassmaster.com during CITGO Bassmaster Classic week. I've been trying to throw in some oh-by-the-way stuff by telling a few stories about some of the Bassmaster Classic competitors that I have been around recently. In fact, I've been zeroed in on the things I remember most about that particular get-together. You see, I sometimes get tired of the technical talk about these anglers and their equipment or their fishing styles. It's almost like they don't have anything but fishing going on in their lives, when in fact most of them are characters with great personalities and an incredible sense of humor. These are guys you might want to hang out with even if neither of you liked bass fishing. Well I don't have to say that the thing I remember most about my last get-together with Rick Clunn leans toward fishing, but you might find it interesting anyway. As a matter of fact, if you're like me, you find everything interesting when it comes to Rick Clunn. So here goes: Clunn and his family come to spend New Year's with me each year, and please don't think I'm name dropping here. It's just something we do, and I feel fortunate for it. This past New Year's Day, as you folks who live in the Mid-South know, was unseasonably warm. It didn't even feel like the holidays with the temperature around 65 degrees. The little boat I use to fish my pond had been in storage for two months. The aerator in the pond was shut off and basically the 8 acres had been closed, not to reopen until March 15. So I live about a quarter of a mile from north Arkansas' White River. One morning after breakfast we decided to walk/climb up the mountain and look down on the river. Some of the gang started walking through the woods and I hopped on my tractor and drove to the top. My thinking was that when we came back we wouldn't be as energetic and everyone would want a ride. Regardless of how you get there the trip up the mountain is always interesting, and when on top it's peaceful enough that you might want to sit there watching the fishermen below you all day long. Even though they are nothing but tiny specks. After about an hour of sitting up there, we were ready to load up and head back to the house. And, sure enough, everyone wanted to climb on the tractor and ride back with me. That is everyone but Clunn. He's already headed back through the woods, doesn't want to talk about a seat on the tractor and seems to be on some sort of mission. Going by tractor is five times longer than hiking, because you have to stay on the path. The extra distance and one small side trip put us back in the area of the house and the pond about 45 minutes later than what it took Clunn to get there. Now we are getting to the moment I will always remember. The road leading to the house first crosses the pond dyke. When I drive the tractor up on the dyke, I look down and there's Rick Clunn walking the pond bank, casting a spinnerbait as far as he can cast. There is arguably the best fisherman, ever, totally focused on catching a two-pound fish out of my little pond. I was frozen watching him because I thought that after all these years I was the only one who still went bananas over a fish striking your lure. But here is Rick Clunn, the best there ever was, feeling that same way. Now I've pulled right down to him and I've shut the tractor off and bam! He rears back on a fish. "Hey! You can't be catching any fish right now. It's New Year's Day. It's the middle of winter. These fish won't bite," I inform him "Sure they will," he answered. "I've already caught three or four." Then I noticed something else. Clunn hadn't stopped by the house and picked up one of my rods on the way to his little fishing excursion. He had his own rod and his own spinnerbait, which suggested to me he had this trip planned before he ever left his own house. Now I'm really impressed. I stood there and watched him catch four or five more very nice fish, and I once again thought, "Wow. Rick Clunn — the man who holds almost all of the Bassmaster Classic records — still has the fishing bug so bad that he just had to walk that pond and see if he could make those fish bite." This man should never cease to amaze any of us. We had a great New Year's visit and far too quick, the Clunns loaded up and headed back to Ava, Mo. Guess what I did just as soon as his vehicle was out of sight of my place though? I ran for my rod with a spinnerbait on it.Story | Conversation | December 29, 2006

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Thanks for letting me into your lives
It would be an understatement to say that a year ago, I got a kick in the teeth when I was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Now, I can no longer brush my own teeth.
My new mailing address is Riverview Health Centre, where I have come to die, although you're not supposed to say that here.
When they brought me here, they promised I would never feel pain again, and they have been pretty true to that. When there is pain, there is a kind nurse with a needle and a machine to lift my sore, useless body into a wheelchair.
I can no longer walk independently. I hate the loss of independence, of needing someone to wash me and help with basic bodily functions. When you need someone to wash your face for you, it's a new low. I feel I've ceased to be me, and it's hard not to spend every day crying.
But what it has made me realize is how very much I miss you, the readers.
There have been some celebrations this year. My daughter got married last week, and I was able to attend. After days of practice sitting up in a wheelchair, the staff deemed me ready to go. Another decision was made for me.
But what has the past year meant? Have I had insights available only to those who have the curtain lifted back to reveal some deep meaning? I'm reminded of the observation Randy Pausch made when he wrote The Last Lecture; simply that time is all you've got until you realize you have a finite amount.
My Christian faith has carried me through. It's stronger than it ever was. My church family has been there for me. All around my room are things from them, both from the church I attend now -- Holy Trinity -- and the one I used to attend, St. Vital's St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church.
The thing I struggle to get across is how useless I feel physically... and intellectually.
I suppose I'm not entirely useless. I've been able to find meaning in fundraising. I started a campaign to build a school in Kenya through a program of Free the Children run by Craig and Marc Kielburger. A garden party to raise money pushed the campaign over the top. Enough was raised for three schools.
But truthfully? It was an act of selfishness that allowed me to give back. I say an act of selfishness because I did it for me. I didn't do it for Kenya. Is that insightful? Maybe, but I don't think I'm capable of being insightful right now.
Insight? I wish I hadn't smoked as a teenager, but I don't think I gave myself cancer.
I do know this: Choose your friends carefully. They're the ones who'll be wiping drool off your chin.
Something you should know: People have to laugh at your jokes when you have cancer.
I've discovered how insanely insecure I am, how much affirmation I need.
I have been unable to do any writing. I miss that like crazy, of course. But what it has made me realize is how very much I miss you, the readers.
A year ago, I wrote a column telling you about this diagnosis and that I would be out of touch for a while as I fought the monsters. Please know you have been the greatest gift to me.
You have allowed me into your homes, your lives as I have done this most marvellous of jobs. We have laughed, cried, been angry, and in the end, been a little bit better from our connections. I know I have.
I was thrilled to be offered the chance to write this. It was the best gift Free Press editor Paul Samyn could have given me, other than the chocolate.

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she has written for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business. She'll get around to them some day.
Lindor has received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She has earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and has been awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
She is married with four daughters. If her house was on fire and the kids and dog were safe, she'd grab her passport.

Encouraging students to walk or bike to school.Ms. Van der Hiede's 1st period class scanned in a total of 96 times during October. We had 9 scan days.
Statistics for October
227 students scanned in 1158 times during the month. That's a little over 5 scans per student for the month. Together we walked and biked over 1624 miles.
Did you know that "one-way" miles count?
Did you know that you can make your miles count even if you just walk to school in the morning or walk home from school? Scan in before school starts at the Bee Active! table by the office, or look for someone by the back gate to scan you in. Not sure if you are registered? We can check.
Scan Days are Tuesdays and Thursdays this Year.
Where is everybody?
We have over 500 students and staff members that are registered for our program, but only 244 have actually scanned in this school year.
Tip of the Month
Wear your helmet! A bicycle helmet reduces the risk of serious head and brain injury by 85-88%. In California, children under 18 years of age must wear an approved helmet when riding bikes, scooters, skateboards or inline skates. It's the law!

Kezar Lake House Rental Photos and Description
3 Bedrooms, 2 full baths, W/D, sleeps 6
Enjoy crystal clear, 7 mile long Kezar Lake at Westways which has a panoramic view of the White Mountains. Year round home in association community with tennis court, rec hall, baseball field, beach and numerous docks and floats - almost 2000 ft of waterfront. Home is set back on hill with partial views of the lake yet quiet and peaceful . Fully applianced kitchen, washer and dryer, 2 king size beds and 1 queen.
You are 30 minutes from outlet shopping in North Conway, 90 minutes from the ocean and beaches and white water rafting at multiple locations within driving distance. There is the Kezar Lake golf course down the road and the championship course at Sunday River Ski Area is only 25 minutes away. And don't forget the softball game on Thursday nights at the Westways ball park that brings locals and lake residents together for an exciting time. There are so many outdoor activities to enjoy a non-digital vacation!
Westways - Rules and Regulations: The Westways Association has very strict rules that are enforced by the property owners in order to protect the ambiance of the community. Most Westways owners do not rent their properties. Please respect these rules so owners and guests traveling from around the country can enjoy their vacations. A copy of the rules will be sent to with your receipt. A summary of things you should know:
Between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. motor boats should run their motors quietly so guests can enjoy the peacefulness of the lake.
The historic rec hall is accessible from 9:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.
The speed limit on all Westways roads is 15 miles an hour.
Please respect all rules posted at the Tennis Court - especially sign up.
Cell phone access is limited since the lake area borders the national forest.
Westways Boating: Boats must be used daily in order to be tied to one of the docks, otherwise they need to be on my mooring at the north dock.
It is advised that boats are put on a mooring during storms for the protection of all boats and the docks.
Jet skiis and jet boats are not allowed at Westways and are discouraged by the Lake Association in order to protect wildlife (loons) and keep the noise down.
Dock all canoes and small boats on the slips closest to the shore. The outer slips need to be free for larger boats.
Maine Laws and Fines: It is advisable that all Maine lake, boating and fishing laws are understood and followed. The lake association hires a full time warden who lives on the lake, patrols daily and has the power to levy significant fines. If you are unfamiliar with these laws, you can pick up brochures at the town hall down the road on Route 5. You can also get fishing licenses giving you access to the many lakes and rivers in the area. The Androscoggin River is in Bethel and has been brought back to life, offering great fishing and canoing. Saco River is also only 15 minutes away.
Please wash down your boat and motor before putting it in any lake or river. There is a significant fine if your boat has any invasive plant species on it.
There is also a fine for not having a life jacket on board for each person on the boat or canoe.

From Chinese calligraphy to India's Ganesh, Jose Lorento's journey has led him to find his goddess of wealth in Delhi
"The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always at his doorstep." These words of Paul Strand hold true for Jose Lorento who has been living away from Spain, his native country, for almost two decades now and has finally settled in India.
Jose who maintains Abadi Art Gallery in Delhi's Lado Sarai, pursued his graduation in Chinese calligraphy from Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts and then moved to London to take up his Master's degree in photography. There he found he missed living in Asia. Jose got an opportunity to come to India when his friend was posted to New Delhi four years ago. The artist and gallerist says the energy here drives him, and he enjoys every bit of living in the city.
His tryst with Indian art began as an associate resident at Khoj International Artist Association. "With a grant from the Spanish Embassy, a one-year community project in body/text was realised at Khoj. This gave me a first preview of contemporary art practices in India," he recounts.
Delhi has several art galleries so to carve out a niche for yourself is not easy. But this never deterred Jose from realising his passion. "As an artist I had been involved in the art scene since the beginning. I had worked as an independent curator before opening the gallery."
His exposure as a curator for a decade at the international level provided the basics to establish a gallery. How to work on the location, promotion and marketing perspectives was something Jose imbibed on his way and this vast hold of experience helped him wade through tough waters.
He seeks his inspiration from daily lives — the people on the streets, his friends or anyone he comes across. From Indian mythology, Shiva, Ganesh and Lakshmi fascinate him most.
As a curator he mostly works with social themes as race, gender class or environment. At the just concluded exhibition "A Trilogy", blue-black, white and red were the main themes.
Commenting on the art space in Spain and how much it differs from India, he says, "Spain has a great variety on the art scene not only in the private sectors but also with lots of independent public art and interactive art projects. Those are usually sponsored by governments, agencies or institutions. This gives more opportunities to artists to work and explore deeply more concepts and ideas." In India, he adds, more effort comes from the private sector rather than cultural agencies and government funded projects.
Besides his art gallery, Jose keeps himself busy learning more Hindi, Urdu and relishes the food here. Visits to Spain are once or twice a year and most of the time Delhi keeps him busy.
Sharing his insight on Delhi art scene, Jose is quite optimistic. "I feel like the Delhi art scene is growing and there are more and more events every year." He recalls how three years ago when he opened the gallery in Lado Sarai, there were only one or two others in the vicinity but now the place has emerged as the new, vibrant hub for art in the city. To encourage art projects all galleries in the street organise joint art exhibition twice a year. "This scene is very lively and unique for Delhi city."

Common Sense About Deer Scents
by Ted Peck
The woods will be doused with delusions of grandeur over the next few weeks as mature whitetail bucks all believe they are the King of the Forest and hunters fortunate enough to shoot a big buck with a bow think Fred Bear simply had a good publicist. Bucks have busy rubbing trees and scraping the forest floor now in an annual rite of autumn which has been going on for thousands of years. The antlered ones are now chasing does willy-nilly virtually round-the clock with little concern for bowhunters-or Buicks. With each passing year my appreciation for a mature buck's survival savvy grow...

Lawyers for Michael Jackson's estate have asked a judge to authorise an allowance for the singer's three children.
A petition lodged with LA's Superior Court said the youngsters were "wholly financially dependent" on their father and currently have "no financial resources to provide for their care and support".
His mother Katherine is caring for Paris, Prince Michael I and Prince Michael II, known as Blanket, pending a custody hearing next month.
Attorneys argued that she should also receive funds as she was "financially dependent" on the king of pop and has been living off social security since his death.
The court action came as the Jackson family said police have pieced together every second of the last 12 hours of the tragic star's life.
