Local home builders association wins two national association excellence awards
The Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland (HBAMP) recently won Association Excellence Awards from the Executive Officers Council of the National Association of Home Builders in the categories of "Best Association Coalition/Partnership" and "Best Home or Industry Show." The awards were presented during the national group's annual seminar in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The AEA annual program is designed to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of state and local HBA's. Within this program, the HBAMP competes against the largest top-tier HBA's in the country. And during the last five years, it has won 22 AEA awards, making it the most decorated metropolitan HBA in the country.
"I am very proud of the accomplishments of our association and the hard work of our staff and members," said Dave Nielsen, HBAMP Executive Officer. "To continue to have our efforts recognized by our peers from around the country year after year, especially given the economic challenges we are all facing, is truly appreciated."
Information on the AEAs Won by the HBAMP this year:
Best Association Coalition/Partnership award – The HBAMP was recognized for its work with the City of Portland on the PEEHP (Portland Energy Efficiency Home Pilot) program. The PEEHP Program was proposed as a way to find out the cost of increasing energy efficiency mandates prior to formulation of a city policy on this issue. The purpose of the program was to learn real costs, construction changes and consumer values as well as find a common place to start conversations moving forward in the progression increased energy efficiency. The result of this concern was a partnership between the HBAMP, the City of Portland, Portland General Electric, NW Natural Gas, the Portland Development Commission, and Pacific Power. The partnership has helped slow down proposed regulations and is creating better dialogue between the city and home building industry about what goals are relevant and how best to achieve those goals.
Best Home or Industry Show – The HBAMP was recognized for its innovative work in recreating its signature NW Natural Street of Dreams event in 2009. In taking what had been a traditional single-family site show and moving it to a downtown urban condo environment, HBAMP created an innovative show that attracted thousands of new attendees while providing an experience unlike any show it had done before in its 35 year show history. The partnerships within the Pearl District, the development of a walking tour, the added value of the Pearl Pass, and the success of the show were all factors in HBAMP being selected for this award.
The Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland is the leading voice for the residential building industry, representing more than 1,000 builders, remodelers and industry professionals. Since 1942, HBA has worked on behalf of the industry to promote diverse, affordable housing options to area residents. Learn more at http://hbapdx.org.

Top-loading washing machines are becoming as much of a dinosaur as manual-defrost freezers, according to Price City.
If it's time to replace your washing machine, Community Director Nick Tatton recommends investing in an energy efficient front-loading washer.
Front loaders, which hit the market in the 1990s, may be a little more expensive, but they will pay off in the long run with decreased water and electricity use, and lower utility bills.
Following are a few shopping tips:
Compare how efficient your favorite model is to similar machines by reading the yellow and black Energy Guide that every washing machine displays in the store.
Insist on a washer with a high spin speed (1,000 to 1,200 rpm); speedier spins remove more moisture from clothes so they have to spend less time in the dryer. That not only saves energy and lowers you bill, it helps you match the dryer time to the washer time more closely.
Your model should have the option to slow the spin speed down for delicate items.
Consider machines that have convenience options such as settings for different fabrics, and sensors that "decide" on the best water level and temperature for the type of clothes you're washing.

Representatives from Gov. Paul LePage's administration and outdoor organization members say a proposed referendum that would ban bear hunting in Maine using bait, dogs or traps will cause a growth in the bear population and put humans at risk.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ A coalition opposed to the proposed referendum called the Maine Wildlife Conservation Council held a press conference on Monday. It includes the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine and the Maine Professional Guides Association.
The coalition says banning those methods will take away the most effective tool the state has to control the growing bear population, estimated at more than 30,000.
Mainers for Fair Bear Hunting recently announced that it's gathering signatures to qualify for the November 2014 ballot. It says the methods are cruel and aren't needed to manage the bear population.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — The dollar stretched an advance against its rivals Wednesday as the U.S. Federal Reserve indicated it will consider making changes in its ultra-loose monetary policy.
But the British pound hit a 13-month low as support for additional quantitative easing strengthened at the Bank of England.
The ICE dollar index DXY, +0.02% , a gauge of the greenback's performance against a basket of six major global currencies, rose to 81.074 after the release of the minutes from the Fed's meeting in January. The dollar index was at 80.450 on Tuesday.
The euro extended its loss against the dollar, with the shared currency EURUSD, -0.0177% fetching $1.3276, compared with $1.3337 late Tuesday.
Kathy Lien, managing director at BK Asset Management, said they saw the dollar climb as the market appeared to interpret the minutes as showing "that the Federal Reserve is getting more serious about phasing out asset purchases."
According to the minutes, many Fed officials are concerned about the costs and risks of the central bank's asset purchases aimed at stimulating the economy, and will look at how to proceed with its current $85 billion a month asset-purchase program at their meeting in March.
Some Fed officials, however, argued that ending assets purchases too soon would damage the economy.
Unemployment is still high, Lien noted, "and while there have been more voices at the central bank raising concerns about the negative risks of keeping quantitative easing in place for a prolonged period of time, [the Fed] won't get serious about tapering assets purchases until the third quarter," or the fourth quarter.
"We need to see a lot more evidence of improvement and stability not only in the labor market but also in consumer spending before the Federal Reserve has the backing to start shrinking the balance sheet," she said.
The WSJ dollar index BUXX, -0.02% , which measures the greenback's moves against a slightly wider basket of currencies, rose to 72.37, up from a close of 71.86 in the previous session.
The dollar USDJPY, +0.02% was recently at 93.86 yen compared with ¥93.67 before the Fed minutes, and ¥93.45 in New York late Tuesday.
Against the yen, the dollar earlier Wednesday turned slightly higher after data that showed the longer-term recovery in the U.S. housing market was still on track.
Why is gold slumping again?
The price of gold, which touched $1,750 an ounce in December, is now around $1,600 - and falling. Polya Lesova joins Markets Hub.
A Commerce Department report of a drop in U.S. housing construction in January also showed longer-term housing starts were up 24% from the year-earlier period. At the same time, building permits, a sign of future demand, rose to the highest rate since June 2008, and December's starts rate was upwardly revised to 973,000.
A rebound in the housing industry is seen as one of the strongest growth drivers for the U.S. economy overall.Read about January's housing starts report.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson has announced her resignation after four years at the EPA. Jackson's tenure was marked by controversial policies involving a number of high-profile issues including global warming, the Keystone XL pipeline, and emissions controls on coal-fired plants. And recent scrutiny over Jackson's use of an alias e-mail account has led some to believe that her resignation was inevitable.
Jackson plans to step down after the president gives January's State of the Union speech. In a prepared statement, she said, "I will leave the EPA confident the ship is sailing in the right direction, and ready in my own life for new challenges, time with my family and new opportunities to make a difference."
While Jackson does not provide a specific reason for her resignation, many analysts believe that it is a result of the never-ending controversy surrounding her policies at the EPA.
The New York Daily News reports,
Jackson, the agency's first black administrator, constantly found herself caught between administration pledges to solve controversial environmental problems and steady resistance from Republicans and industrial groups who complained that the agency's rules destroyed jobs and made it harder for American companies to compete internationally.
Jackson played a significant role in pushing for a delay in the Keystone XL Pipeline and led the EPA to set new fuel-efficiency standards for American vehicles as well as new rules for power plants.
Under Jackson, the EPA added increases to Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards which require cars and light trucks to reach 34.5 mpg by 2016, and 54.5 mpg by 2025.
Last week, the EPA finalized changes to the Clean Air Act standards for boilers and incinerators and also updated its national air quality standards for fine particle pollution.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Icy roads and gusty winds have made for treacherous travel today in much of the upper Midwest.
The winter storm that dumped a foot or more of snow in the central Plains has now moved eastward over the Great Lakes. Accidents and slide-offs have been widespread over the affected states.
Snow began falling in Detroit just in time for the morning rush, turning streets and freeways into a mess. In Chicago, the city's large fleet of snowplows salted and cleared the streets of three inches of snow, as commuters made their way to work.
About 270 flights in and out of Chicago's two airports were canceled this morning, and arrival delays of up to 90 minutes were reported.
Airports in Kansas City and St. Louis have reopened, but there were numerous cancellations and delays at both.
A United Airlines plane slid off a slick runway at the Cleveland airport and into a grassy area this morning. No injuries were reported.
Authorities in Minnesota blame the snow for over 200 accidents during the morning commute. One driver was killed when a vehicle lost control, slid into oncoming traffic and was broadsided in the St. Paul suburb of Eagan. In western Iowa, a woman died when she was run over by her car after it became stuck on her steep, slippery driveway.
No serious injuries are reported from a crash in Iowa involving a bus carrying members of a college softball team. It closed part of Interstate 80 east of Des Moines.

A little back story before I get into the current issue. Tank has only broke out in this rash once before, the first week we had him at 11 weeks old. Thankfully the day he got the rash he was going to the vet and it was looked at. Come to find out it was from the grass. I know that pits have many skin issues, this being on of them. So Tank is allergic to the grass.
Where we live Tank only has the front yard to go to the bathroom. We are never out there long, so we make sure he is taken on walks everyday and go to the park ALL the time to burn the energy. Since the only time spent outside is meant for moving around and not relaxing we haven't had the rash problem (other then a tiny tiny bit here or there).
Recently we house/dog sat for my mother in law and the dogs spent a lot of time outside playing. Not thinking (because it hasnt been a problem recently to be on our minds) we allowed him outside longer then normal. After a few days we got home and noticed the break out. Much worse then it has ever been. I made sure to snap a picture in case it was gone before the vet could see it.
Once in at the vets he was looked over and of course the rash was gone. When I showed him the picture all he could say was "oh yeah he came into contact with something". I asked when I could do about it if it happened again or if there is anything to prevent it other then keeping him away from grass (mostly not allowing him to lay down in it). He gave me no advice. He says as long as he is healthy other wise it is ok. This is the first time i am rather frustrated at my vet.
Can anyone please give some advice or if you deal with the same issues. Is there anything I could maybe put on his skin if this happens again? I would really like to be prepared.
Also an added note...He also ingested some grass. Normally we discourage this because of his issues and already have a very sensitive stomach (needing to be on basic formula food).
There is a picture below. Warning this is a underside picture....

Gin Haters: Right Will Prove You Wrong
Recently, I was invited to a seminar hosted at the brand's loft, here in San Francisco. The event was put on by Nirvino, the awesome social-drinking website that let's you rate cocktails and wine, and led by bad-boy bartender Josh Harris of 15 Romolo. Harris discussed the essentials to building a home bar and walked us through a blind gin-tasting.
To find out more about the tasting and check out all my images from the event, keep reading.
Basically, there are three types of gin: the most common London-dry style (Beefeater, Bombay), the floral style (Hendricks), and the newer Western-style gins (Right, Bluecoat). To illustrate the drastic differences, Harris had us sip from glasses filled with the three styles. The first was difficult to swallow and gag-inducing. The second was smooth and aromatic. With its crisp cleanliness, the third tasted suspiciously like vodka! Wrong, it was actually Right. Right was created by partners who didn't like gin. While it has all the typical ingredients of gin, it lacks the sharp bite found in dryer gins, and is exceptionally easy to drink. I plan on getting a bottle of Right to experiment with at home.
Have you tried Right gin? How do you feel about gin in general?

A typical early 17th century recipe is:
"Cut cold roast chicken or other meats into slices. Mix with minced tarragon and an onion. Mix all together with capers, olives, samphire, broombuds, mushrooms, oysters, lemon, orange, raisins, almonds, blue figs, Virginia potatoes, peas and red and white currants. Garnish with sliced oranges and lemons. Cover with oil and vinegar, beaten together."
from The Good Huswives Treasure, Robert May, 1588-1660
Salmagundi is also purportedly a meal served on pirate ships. It is a stew of anything the cook had on hand, usually consisting of chopped meat, anchovies, eggs, and onions, often arranged in rows on lettuce and served with vinegar and oil, and spiced with anything available.

The end-of-year issue of 'Engineering & Technology' includes the editors' forecasts for Christmas 2020. These were intentionally short and light-hearted, but I would be interested to know what readers think transport will look like in 2020. And what are the decisions that we need to get right in the short term to make sure it doesn't all go horribly wrong in future?
The magazine piece only looked at moving people, but thoughts on the movement of goods would be welcome too.
Lorna Sharpe (IET transport editor)
30 January 2009 11:23 AM
The oil price may have fallen in the second half of 2008, but I think it's only a matter of time before it comes back to bite us. We've been dependent on oil for so long that if the supply starts to become prohibitively expensive, it's going to be a really nasty surprise for those of us that didn't see it coming.
At the moment, most of our freight is transported by road. Sometimes that's unavoidable, but it does mean that it's all completely dependent on oil. Rail freight in its current format is not much better, because most of the time it's hauled by very inefficient 2-stroke diesel locomotives from America.
However, if we look back to the 1950s, the railways moved a lot more freight and there was a huge infrastructure, bigger even than the passenger infrastructure, for the loading and unloading of goods. British Railways was the single biggest road vehicle fleet owner in the country - and provided a door-to-door transport service for freight.
If we are serious about reducing dependence on oil then there are four things we could do to get freight off the roads and onto rail:
1: Increase railway capacity - if high-speed passenger lines are built, then the conventional lines they leave behind may have spare capacity for freight, for example. A railway equivalent of the A14 road, running from the Midlands to Folkestone, would be a good idea too.
2: Electrify more of the railway network - and the DfT is looking into this at the moment. Yes, I hear the familiar argument that coal generates most of our power at the moment, but if we take our short-term blinkers off for a second, the obvious advantage is that coal can be replaced with something more sustainable in future and with electrification in place, we have the infrastructure to take advantage of it.
3: Remodel logistics - instead of a couple of "trunk" routes, use the railway network as the trunk, moving it much closer to the end destination of goods.
4: Make rail attractive for goods delivery - with fast class 1 light freight services to all parts of the UK rail network, and a "last mile" road transport service included. If this "last mile" really is a short distance, then electric vehicles could be used instead of diesel vans, further reducing CO2.
Do I think any of this will really happen? Given how fragmented the railway industry is at the moment, I think it would take a very special set of circumstances for there to be enough concensus to run a sustainable, economical, aggregated service. However, if we are serious about reducing oil dependency, I think that large-scale action of some kind is needed!

time to start thinking about where you will keep your horse?
11 May 2009 07:29 AM
To encourage people off the roads and onto rail, a number of issues must be recognised.
There are 6 times as many road users as rail users, so if policy makers want a 10% reduction in car usage, there has to be a 60% increase in rail capacity, and the trains have to be going conveniently close to where the cars users wanted to be.
Rail pricing in the UK is prohibitive. I was recently in Holland, and a train journey from Amsterdam to Rotterdam was a mere 17Euros for 1st class. How come? Instead of being priced off the roads, we need to be encouraged onto the rails, i.e. carrot as well as stick.
Some people use their cars because of the boot capacity. Luggage space on trains seems to be decreasing, making the rail experience somewhat of a nightmare.
Local car journeys are a problem for which rail is not a solution. The problem of more frequent local journeys has been caused somewhat by out-of-town shopping, pioneered by Asda in the late '70s. They are only accessible by car (shuttle buses do not solve the problem of large shopping bags). Unchecked competition practices have meant the decline of town centre shops, so now people need a car just to get any shopping done. In the long term, local journey reduction can only (in my view) be achieved by major rethinking about town centre design. Council planners need to discourage large supermarkets and out-of-town shopping, while encouraging a vibrant high street. They also need to realise what large house building companies have done over recent years. By only wanting to build large (profitable) developments, town centre housing stock is not being renewed, and we have expanding housing estates on the peripheries of towns, where the residents still need cars to go shopping.
This is perhaps the hardest problem to solve. The local journey transport problem is not solved by alternative choices, but by changing our local transport requirements, i.e. where we live, and where we want to go.
Some cities have decided that trams are the future, electricity - non polluting - must be good, yes? But the massive installation costs have to be recouped. Expensive fares are counter-productive. A better solution (if only they had thought of it) would be trolley buses. Just as clean (at the point of use) and cheaper to install. The only disadvantage in the number of people transported per vehicle.
I hope you found this helpful and insightful, rather than just a tub-thumping rant.

high speed rail??
only for some it seems
22 September 2009 12:00 PM
I am also of the opinion that high speed rails are the best solution for future transportation. The only problem I see is to encourage the people to use this opportunity. Maybe the oil price will be so high that people do not have another opportunity as to use the speed rail.
31 October 2009 01:06 PM
My recollection is that rail freight took a hammering when strikes made it too unreliable. Who would risk such dependency again? And some former marshsalling yards are now housing estates.

town centre housing stock is not being renewed
But can it be renewed? Liverpool has many square miles of inner suburbs filled with old low value (approx £30k) terraced houses that are derelict / semi-derelict / short term privately rented / used only as springboards by first time buyers. Any attempts to impose large scale demolition and redevelopment is met with resistance because it's destroying the hard work of our Victorian forefathers or because replacing them with modern houses with gardens will permanently destroy the character of the city. The reality is much of this housing is sadly unwanted, and more importantly, unwanted by families with children who want suburban houses with gardens that Liverpool is lacking. Even sentimental southerners who live in suburbs and shires are up in arms at proposals to level another street in Toxteth or Kirkdale.

A couple of comments in response to Joe Silmon's post.
Firstly to reiterate mmcgregor's point, "There are 6 times as many road users as rail users, so if policy makers want a 10% reduction in car usage, there has to be a 60% increase in rail capacity, and the trains have to be going conveniently close to where the cars users wanted to be". And this applies just as much to people transport as it does to freight transport.
Secondly, some recent research in Germany indicates that only 10% of road freight can sensibly be shifted to rail ("Market analysis for shifting goods from road to rail by means of combined transport in Germany" by Agnes Eiband, presented at the Young Researchers Seminar 2009, Torino, Italy, 3-5 June 2009). Presumably the same applies to UK freight.
All this means that whatever the problems caused by road freight, they cannot be solved by moving freight to rail.
This is not to say that we shouldn't invest more in rail - we certainly should - only that it isn't a panacea - and that we should invest more in all forms of transport infrastructure.

No we shouldn't - we should invest in better distribution infrastructure and understand what we need to ship from where to where. Personally, I want the milk for my breakfast cereals to come from a cow withing a few miles of home - not be shipped around the UK until it gets to me 2 days later with a huge carbon footprint. Think about it - if we actually make that type of transport difficult, awkward and expensive then there may well be opportunity for growth at a local level
Let the wind blow you, across a big floor.

More surface transport and possibly rail will use Hydrogen which is likely to involve more Hydrogen power stations built, renewable biofuel energy and ethanol?? as part of the norm linked with evironmental, economic impact.
From customer facing side - likely to have more automated machines with more customer information systems translated into more languages and dialects.

Can anyone tell me about car parking system and cost in New York, United States?
25 September 2012 03:15 PM
It seems strange to me that crossrail, Thameswater, and even the National grid are all burrowing tunnels under London but the M23 tunnel towards the M1 has not yet even been thought about! If this link were put in not only would it unload the M25 but just think of the amount of fuel that would be saved. We might even be able to put in a junction in at Clapham Common and Marble Arch and erect large toll booths charging £20 per entry to discourage people from queuing up and to reclaim the cost of the tunneling.
We also need to build a coastal highway across all of our pretty inlets. If the flow between the heads is greater that 20 mph then a barrage can also be built and the tidal energy extracted as electricity. In many cases this will more than pay for the project within about 10 years.
26 September 2012 03:53 PM
There needs to be a breakthrough in electrical storage to make EV technology work, 5 to 600 miles per charge . Until this happens we will be stuck with carbon based fuel sources, or maybe more research into Hydrogen perhaps?.
03 October 2012 05:43 PM
The problem is that electric cars run on grid electricity which is mostly gas generation and only 60% efficient. Modern cars are nearly that efficient and if you need to use the heater in the winter more efficient than the grid and cheaper overall if you adjust for tax.

One of the biggest challenges for a future passenger and freight transport infrastructure is to produce an integrated system. There is no point in building high speed passenger lines and freight trunk routes if they are so difficult to use that no one will bother.
For the passenger sector the journeys should be as seamless as possible. If I want to go from my village to a factory 200km away I should be able to buy one ticket that covers this. The bus from my village to the local railway station should connect with a train to the next town in less than 10 minutes, that train should connect with a high speed or intercity line in also in less than 10 minutes and at the other end there should be a connection again within 10 minutes. This can be achieved, as can be seen in several mainland European countries and does not require nationalization of the complete network. What it does require is political will and commitment to integrate the existing structure and then build new connections over time to fill in the gaps. The existence of feeder routes to the trunk routes is a vital part of an integrated structure and even though these may not be profitable in their own right they contribute to the overall profitability of the system.
Similar comprehensive thought is required to improve freight transport and here a variety of solutions will need to be looked at. One important concept is, as OMS said, looking to more local production and distribution especially in the case of food and drink. The cost of oil and hence road haulage will continue to rise and in this case the huge centralised factories and distribution centers may no longer be cost effective. For longer distance transport the system again needs to be as seamless as possible. Containerised freight works well for larger loads and longer distances, but more local handling points are required to reduce lorry distances. Hupac (lorry on a rail wagon) works well over longer distances, such as the alpine crossings, but I think it requires a larger loading gauge than in Britain. There is an opening for a smaller container system, possibly something like the containers used for air cargo, which does not require the infrastructure for standard shipping containers. 2 or 3 m3 and a maximum weight around 3 tonnes would be better for local distribution. Once again this would require the political will to start using the existing infrastructure and then work towards filling in the gaps initially by adding rail links to major freight distribution centers.
The key question for me is "is it possible to have the political support for such a long term infrastructure with a two party political system" ( the same applies to electric power and other utilities). Most of the countries who have invested in this infrastructure have coalition governments, which although slow to operate do give stability.
Best regards
05 October 2012 02:06 PM
That explains why this coalition have repeatedly kicked critical decisions into the long grass of 2015 with endless inquiries & reviews : Heathrow expansion, shale gas fracking, new nukes etc.
As long as childish scaremongering and sanctimonious green posturing dominates rational decision making in the LibLabCon, this will continue.
09 October 2012 10:50 AM
I agree with you. The politicians listen to all the pressure groups instead of thinking positively about the good of the people. At the moment we have huge unemployment so we are overtaxed. SO lets get to work and build a coastal highway across all those fast flowing estuaries so that we can generate clean green tidal barrage energy by starting immediately with the likes of the Severn.

ANSON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A skate park in the town of Anson that has become to expensive to repair will be shutting down.
Susanne Lamb, built the park seven years ago in memory of her son, Damon Lasley, who died in a dirt biking accident in 2004. The addition to the town, called Damon's Dream Memorial Skate Park, became a hot spot for kids every summer when it would open for the season. Sharif Abdelrihim was one local skateboarder who took advantage of it over the years.
"When the park opened there was like 30 kids here every single day for a long time," said Abdelrihim. "This place was packed."
That won't be the case anymore though. This year the park's gate will remained locked due to the amount of damage Maine's winters have caused to it's jumps and ramps made primarily of wood. Lamb says she can't keep up with the rising cost of repairs needed, but is hopeful that someone will take it over in the future.
"It's a great place that I believe really should be for the kids and give them something to do," said Lamb. "Keep them safe, happy, out of trouble."
The skate park is on the property of the Garrett Schenck Elementary School, which is part of RSU 74. According to the superintendent of that district, Kenneth Colville, what to do with the vacant property will be discussed during the next school board meeting scheduled in June.

NEWPORT–With the sun shining bright, drying out a field that was soaked earlier in the day by rain, North Country amassed ten runs in the first four innings to defeat Lake Region 10-0 to advance to the Vermont State 10-U Cal Ripken Tournament.
David Lessard got the start for North Country, and he was on fire, striking out the first six batters he faced on twenty-nine pitches.
Lessard would get the offense started as well, drawing a first inning walk, stealing second and scoring on a double steal.
Bryce Gunn would also score in the first, after he reached on an error, stole second and was driven home by Daniel Lanoue.
In the second the runs kept coming, starting when Nick Laramie walked, stole second and came around to score on Kyle Martin's double.
Phillip Quijano reached on an error to put two men on for North Country, and Jack young singled to score Martin, followed by an RBI single by Lessard that brought home Quijano.
After Lessard swiped second, Gunn drove in Young, but Lessard would be gunned down at the plate on a terrific 9-4-2 play that featured Lake Region's Christen Poutre, Mitchell Poirier and Connor Ulrich.
In the third, Lanoue singled, and in a pattern that repeated itself throughout the game, stole second.
Camden Willis' RBI single scored Daniel, and a Riann Fortin single put two runners on base of the maroon and blue.
Martin blasted his second double of the contest to the base of the fence, scoring Willis.
Fortin eventually crossed home on a fielders choice, and it was 9-0 after three.
Gunn would come on to pitch the fourth, and he was lights out, striking out the side on twelve pitches.
North Country would put the game away in the fourth when Lanoue drove in Lessard for the game's tenth run, ending the contest via the ten-run rule.
With the win, North Country advances to the State Tournament in Manchester on July 6th.
Lake Region has a chance to make the tournament as well.
They will travel to Norwich to play a one game play-off with a chance to go the States on the line.

This natralia cream helps us from relief of skin irritation, itching and falking. It is Natural Homeopathic Alternative. It is Suitable for use on children. There are no side effects.
I've been using this product for years for skin issue and it's wonderful. Dermarest psoriasis medicated moisturizer is very effective product. it definitely met my expectations. t helps so much to keep my scalp from itching and scaling. I highly recommended this product.
This product works great. I've suffered from eczema my whole life and recently started getting very bad psoriasis on my lower legs. This has been the second day using it and already my skin is starting to clear. I'm sure it will take a few more days, but I'm amazed. It is the first product that has given me hope.
My daughter, 12 years old, injured her hand and arm and instead of healing, the injury went on to produce swollen, hard, scaly skin like you might find with psoriasis or seborrhea dermatitis. Knowing full well that psoriasis runs in my family and can show up after skin trauma, I decided to go ahead and try the Dermarest on my daughter before a more expensive treatment from a doctor. It burned her horribly when we first started using it, because she had a lot of scabs and open wounds from the cracking and peeling skin. Now after only a week's use, twice a day applications, the redness is nearly gone, the swelling is at least halved, and the raw, scaly scabs and cracks are noticeably reduced. She's very close to having the "small, pretty" hands she used to have and wants back. I'd warn anyone about the burning if they have any open spots, but my daughter thinks it's completely worth it to have the problem gone!
