Reimagining Bucksport
The Penobscot River gateway has quietly reinvented itself. Now if only people would notice.
Route 1 has never treated Bucksport well. Maine's landmark highway enters the Penobscot River town on a bridge from Verona Island — and promptly takes a sharp right turn at a traffic light and leaves again. Travelers on their way to Acadia National Park see a supermarket and a couple of fast-food joints and think that's Bucksport.
If there's a mantra in Bucksport these days, it's "left at the lights." The town still hosts an active paper mill (one of the last in the state), but it also has a mile-long landscaped walkway on a riverfront that was once a dump. The Bucksport that is one of Maine's major oil import terminals is the same one that rivals Bangor as the third-largest cruise ship port in the state. Businesses are already seeing increased traffic from the state's newest tourist attraction, the immensely popular observation tower at the western end of the new Penobscot Narrows Bridge, which dominates the town's view across the river. Retirees and vacationers are discovering a town with reasonable prices, low taxes, and water frontage less than an hour from both Bar Harbor and Camden, two communities Bucksport folks insist they do not want to emulate even as a certain gentrification creeps into their neighborhoods.
Bucksport may not be a resort destination — Rosen's of Maine doesn't stock Armani ties and MacLeod's Restaurant isn't serving pan-roasted soy-lacquered salmon — but it's becoming a place that makes a good first impression. Besides, how many other communities in Maine can claim to have their own comic strip, as well as a pedicab taxi service?
First impressions haven't always been Bucksport's strong suit. Northeast Historic Film founder David Weiss recalls that two-thirds of Main Street's storefronts were vacant in 1992, when he bought the defunct Alamo Theater for $37,000 at a foreclosure auction. Bookstore owner Andy Lacher remembers standing on a downtown sidewalk on a frigid, windy Sunday in January 1997 and thinking there should be tumbleweeds blowing through town. Don Houghton's brother tried to talk him out of buying the local weekly newspaper after a visit in 2001.
These days Andy Lacher owns BookStacks, the bookstore he began planning while working in Bangor for the Mr. Paperback chain. "I saw the writing on the wall when Borders opened in Bangor in the mid-1990s," he explains. "Our store there went from sixty [sales] an hour to three overnight."
If Bucksport seemed a strange place to open an independent bookshop at the time, Lacher insists it was perfect. "I did the homework," he says. "Bucksport may be small, but it sits in the middle of this entire region between Belfast and Ellsworth. It was obvious this would work." His first sight of that cold, empty street in 1997, he says, was offset a few minutes later when he stepped inside a small café and found it buzzing with activity. "I said, 'Here we are. If you unlock the door and turn on the lights, they'll come.' "
Eleven years later, Lacher's shop anchors Bucksport's single-street downtown. Even on a quiet Thursday morning a steady stream of people come in for newspapers, books, fresh coffee, and company. An older man and a teenager study their laptops in the WiFi-equipped sitting area in the front window. Lacher whips out a water bowl for a customer's thirsty dog. "I'm never alone in here," he says.
The people keeping him company have changed, though. Although the town's population has remained stable at about five thousand, it's not the same five thousand it was ten or fifteen years ago.
"It used to be that the mill employed two thousand people and half of them lived here in town," offers Dave Milan, Bucksport's economic development director. (The paper mill at the north end of Main Street first opened in 1930 and is currently owned by Tennessee-based Verso.) "This was a real mill town," he adds, recalling how many of the boys who graduated from Bucksport High School with him in 1977 walked straight into jobs at the mill and never aspired to more. "Now it employs about eight hundred and less than a quarter of them live in town."
These days the mill's impact is more visual than anything else — from the bridge its buildings dominate the northern end of town, although they're barely visible from Main Street. The lightweight magazine paper it produces — Time magazine, Victoria's Secret catalogs, etc. — doesn't create the rotten-egg stink that plagues some other mill communities.
"There's this perception that we're still a mill town," Lacher adds. "That's wrong. These days, we're a town that happens to have a mill in it — and a lot more."
In recent years Bucksport has become a bedroom community for surrounding cities. "We're eighteen miles from Bangor, Belfast, and Ellsworth," Milan points out. Retirees have converted summer cottages on the town's lakes into year-round homes, and vacationers who stumble upon the town have bought seasonal properties. Residential development has spread up the river and inland as newcomers are drawn by the town's services and low mil rate.
"We've had a lot of new people move in," says Town Manager Roger Raymond. "I would say 60 to 70 percent of the households have changed since I came here in 1985. In my neighborhood alone there are only two that haven't changed out of at least ten."
The newcomers have embraced Bucksport as strongly as the natives. Weiss says he was initially drawn to the town because he felt the 1916 Alamo, the second-oldest purpose-built movie theater in Maine, would be the perfect home for Northeast Historic Film, with its mission of preserving the film and video heritage of northern New England. Now he's an unabashed Bucksport booster.
"To be perfectly frank, we had to move into town before we realized that it was the people who made this place perfect for us, not the building," he explains. "When we were in Blue Hill, we hadn't been part of the community as such. That was transformational for us. We got a $64,000 grant from [Bucksport] to help restore the theater. The people here totally supported us, and that local support was the keystone for helping us land funding from farther afield, foundations and grant programs and such."
"I could take a can and start walking down Main Street and tell people, 'The money is for the kids,' and I wouldn't be halfway down the street before I had to come back for another can," says Don Houghton, owner, editor, publisher, and janitor for the weekly Enterprise. A local paramedic who was severely injured in an accident received such an outpouring of help that for a time Houghton was running a column detailing each week's aid efforts.
Roger Raymond gets the lion's share of the credit for the new Bucksport. He took the job in 1985 after ten years in Eagle Lake in far northern Maine. "The waterfront here was pretty disgusting," he recalls. "Deteriorating wharves, forty or fifty sewer outfalls that were exposed at low tide. The downtown hadn't seen any improvements in fifty or sixty years. The streets were pitiful — there wasn't a street in this town that didn't need repairs. The town office hadn't been improved since 1938, and it was in a building so small that on busy days people had to wait outside. The schools were deteriorating. It was tough."
Development director Milan, who was a Bucksport police officer in those days, still tells the story of the bad guy he chased down onto the riverfront one dark night. "The grass was shoulder high, and I was running flat out — right smack dab into an old rusty car hidden in the grass," he says. "An entire car, mind you. Back then, the riverfront was where you dumped anything you didn't want — old cars, water heaters, oil drums, you name it." Today his office overlooks the red brick riverwalk. "We used to have wharf rats the size of cats down here," he says, shaking his head.
The key was a town council and a community that wanted change and continued to support it for more than two decades. "That was the biggest thing — having a vision and being consistent about it," Raymond explains. "The majority of the folks here wanted change. Seldom has anyone not wanted to continue the improvements. We haven't gotten to the point yet where someone says we've done enough, no more change."
It was Raymond who landed the grants that underwrote construction of a new sewer system and treatment plant. At the same time, upriver communities and industries, including Bucksport's own paper mill, were also cleaning up their discharges, resulting in a Penobscot River far cleaner today than the 1985 version. "Raymond told me once, first you save the river, then you save the waterfront, and that saves Main Street," Milan says.
When Raymond decided it was time Bucksport noticed its waterfront, he did it himself. In 1988 he built the first section of the riverwalk on Saturdays with help from a town employee. "Then I got a grant and extended it, and it grew from there," Raymond explains. Today it starts at the Verso mill and stretches a mile to the Route 1 bridge. And it's still growing. Raymond expects to see the path extended all the way to the Buck Memorial, with its ghostly outline of a boot, before he leaves his job next year.
Bucksport still has a ways to go before it reaches its potential — or even fully embraces its present. The riverwalk is attractive, for example, but strollers can't help but notice that most of the Main Street buildings that back onto it don't open onto the river, a legacy of the decades when the water was so polluted no one wanted to look at it. There isn't a single restaurant balcony or art gallery patio overlooking the water. Indeed, there are only a handful of doors.
"Cruise ship passengers love to ride along here," says pedicab operator Andy Tyne, who trades Bucksport tidbits and advice for tips. "It would be great to have more down here for them."
Main Street itself still retains some of the nondescript character of old Bucksport, where used-car lots and hair salons occupy prime downtown locations. Many of the buildings are a century old or more and lack either the size or the charm to be renovated into new uses. "Some owners downtown have seen their properties simply as investments they can sell later for a higher price," Raymond laments. "Not many wanted to improve their buildings. We're seeing less of that now . . . but you still need the private sector to get involved in developing those properties, and that has been difficult."
"The thing about Bucksport is that we're trying to put together the critical mass we need to make it a destination," offers George MacLeod, owner of MacLeod's Restaurant. "We're close, but we haven't been able to put together that cluster of businesses that reinforce each other and bring people in. We need that keystone development."
MacLeod, who opened his well-respected eatery almost thirty years ago, says the town faces a chicken-and-egg dilemma of how to attract traffic that will attract new businesses that will attract traffic. "I'm convinced people will come here," he insists. "I'm the model. We started in a building the town wanted to tear down. My insurance agent wouldn't sell me insurance for it. Now we draw customers from an eighty-mile radius."
"I was at a pancake breakfast Saturday down on the river, and two other people at the table told me they had discovered Bucksport a few years ago while sailing in Penobscot Bay," Houghton says. "They never knew it existed. Now they base their boat here. They love this place."
"Bucksport is such a perfect little town, I'm surprised more people don't find it," says Ted Bastien, a Toronto-based cartoonist who draws Bugsport, his offbeat homage to the town he and his family discovered several years ago on vacation. The Web-based strip about a Maine town that shelters alien refugees from the Roswell crash is filled with thinly veiled references to Bucksport's places and people.
A lot of hope is riding on the new Penobscot Narrows Bridge over the Penobscot River between Prospect and Verona Island. The astonishing cable-stay bridge itself is a modern marvel [Down East, April 2008], but even more impressive is the observation deck in its western tower, which stands 420 feet above the shore in Fort Knox State Park. The far-ranging view includes Mount Desert Island, Penobscot Bay, Mount Katahdin, Matinicus Rock — and Bucksport. "People go up to the observatory, and they see this cool-looking little town on the river practically at their feet," Lacher explains. "All they have to do is turn left."

Despite its title, audiences shouldn't expect anything revolutionary from the fourth chapter in the "Step Up" franchise. Step Up: Familiar Ground or Step Up: You've Seen All This Before would be more accurate, but that wouldn't sell tickets.
By proudly waving its live-to-dance flag, Step Up: Revolution falls in lockstep with a proud lineage of body-rocking dramas. The toned specimens bending and kicking through Revolution love talking about "breaking the rules" with their attention-grabbing choreography.
At the same time, the film desperately clings to the same rigid, rage-against-the-machine screenwriting tropes that defined its predecessors. The four "Step Up" films couldn't exist withoutBreakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Dirty Dancing, Flashdance, Footloose (the original and its remake), Saturday Night Fever, West Side Story and You Got Served.
Director Scott Speer transports audiences to Miami, where poor but virtuous dancers Sean (Ryan Guzman) and Eddy (Misha Gabriel) strategically plan flash mobs around the stylish neighborhoods of South Beach. They dance to express themselves and put their video clips on YouTube, where they're racing other Internet sensations in a contest that awards $100,000 to the first video to amass 10 m illion hits.
Sean gets distracted when he instantly falls for Emily (Kathryn McCormick). A skilled ballerina with a taste for bad boys, Emily also happens to be the rich daughter of a greedy real-estate entrepreneur (Peter Gallagher) who plans to bulldoze Sean and Eddy's neighborhood to make room for a sleek hotel and business park.
Boy, I sure hope the dance-crazy kids can figure out some way to raise enough money and awareness to prevent the evil tycoon from decimating a chunk of Miami's thriving cultural community.
The overused chase-your-dreams cliche propping up Step Up: Revolution almost shaves the edges off the film's electric choreography, but the young and nimble cast eventually powers through the obvious screenwriting with a combustible jolt of sweat, sand, energy, heart and suggestive choreography.
The Revolution dance sequences are exquisite, with the film easily dividing into a series of memorable music videos staged in recognizable Miami locales. So long as Step Up keeps dancing, it's possible to forgive its flaws.

The Bible that helps you see yourself as God sees you. No matter what your stage in life, you're probably facing a challenge or a change. Whatever you're facing, you probably share your struggles with a friend. Now imagine your friend has incredible wisdom and is available anytime of the day or night! That's what this Bible is about: becoming who you are in Christ through your relationship with him. * 100 "Myth" articles---States a commonly accepted myth that the world tells you is true, then refutes the myth with the truth of God's Word. * 30 "Ask Me Anything" notes---Profiles a woman from the Bible in an interview format where the biblical woman speaks to the modern readers about the life issue she faced. * 200 "Conversations" notes---Penetrating questions to reflect on, either alone or with a friend or mentor. * 200 "He Is" callouts---Highlights an attribute of God as shown or taught in Scripture and teaches how that affects a woman's identity. * 300 "At Issues" notes---Short teaching notes on life topics such as money, sex, or pride. * 66 book introductions * Topical index * Back matter articles on topics such as mentoring, developing a consistent quiet time, Bible reading plans, memorizing Scripture, etc. True Identity is designed to help you live out who you are in Christ in practical ways as a woman living in today's world. Drawing on the truths of Scripture, the features in this Bible will strengthen you with insights and encouragement for the issues you face. Some of the features include: Myths: I'll never be free from my past. If I'm good, God will love me. My husband is the only one who needs to change. If I'm a good Christian, then nothing bad will happen to me. My company owes me. You've heard them before. How many do you believe? They're commonly accepted myths of our culture---myths about love, relationships, God, fulfillment, sex, faith, right and wrong, and a lot more. Don't believe the lies of this world! The 100 "Myths" articles in True Identity expose different myths that many women believe. Each article opens with the first-person story of a woman who believes a particular myth and how that affects her life. A statistic or quote shows how common the myth is in our society or what someone has said about it. Then, most importantly, principles from the Bible refute the myth and offer practical guidance and help. At Issue: The stakes are high when it comes to issues such as marriage, conflict, money, sex, or pride. You need wisdom from God's Word---and "At Issue" provides it. These 300 succinct notes take you to the heart of important topics, equipping you with biblical insights that can help you face common concerns with uncommon wisdom. Ask Me Anything: If you could sit down with different women of the Bible and ask them about their lives, what would they tell you? In the form of personal interviews, "Ask Me Anything" profiles introduce you to 30 women from the Bible. Offering frank insights drawn from the best and worst of their lives, they have much to say about life today. He Is: Who is God and what is he like? You'll find out as you read through the "He Is" notes. Highlighting attributes of God, each note gives you a bigger picture of the God who loves you and longs to be in relationship with you.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska A serial killers recent suicide has prompted federal prosecutors to seek dismissal of charges in the slaying of an Alaska barista.
Prosecutors in Anchorage said in a motion filed this week that the indictment against Israel Keyes is abated by his death by law.

Looking for a connection for all these events? Look no further than the ease with which guns can be obtained in our society. Any citizen can purchase one. Stores are all across town. There is no requirement to prove any specific need or threat. Clips can be any size. Assault weapons are as available as six shooters. There is no waiting period.
I could go on and on...
If we want to do away with gun related crimes, doing away with guns will first be required.
While I am saddened by the "progress" made by the NRA and those it has brainwashed, there is hope in sight. President Obama's next Supreme Court appointment will help get us back on a safe track for this country. Until then, Attorney General Holder and his Department of Justice are doing all they can to help control this madness.
You forgot to blame glocks for the shootings. Them assault guns will shoot at anything.

Wait a cotton pickin´ minute!Isn´t this what insurance is for? If people spent their money on something else, shouldn´t they have to live with the consequences of their foolishness??
The very last sentence was a real knee slapper.As if being a republican had something to do with fiscal sanity.I´ve always enjoyed reading Cashill articles. I did not know he has a funny bone however.
Recently purchased a home on the Jersy Shore. Mortgage company did not require flood insurance. My husband asked why I was getting it. I told him we have water on both sides of us, that´s why. Best decision I ever made as home got flooded.That said, there are many who are insured who still can´t get reimbursed through FEMA insurance program. We shouldn´t pay for roller coaster but we should be reimbursing those who paid for coverage.
FEMA has no business issuing any type of insurance policy. They derive their money from taxpayers so when policy holders file claims, it is taxpayers picking up the tab, not FEMA. If the private sector refuses to issue someone a policy because of their proximity to water then don`t build, or buy there.
More Nanny state. Seems noone is responsible for anything in their lives now cause the government will pay their irresponsibility. And of course that means you and I who have taken responsibility for our actions have to pay for those who haven´t.
People who buy federal flood insurance are being responsible. They pay premiums like for any insurance, but since private insurance companies do not issue flood insurance the government does. That´s why this bill had to pass the House so that the insurance coverage $ owed those who had paid th premiums could get paid. If th homeowners had not bought the only flood insurance available for them to purchase they would not have been responsible. Don´t remember reading thes gripes when those flooded by midwest rivers collect on their claims.
If properly managed, Insurance companies make profits, don´t they?FEMA takes in premiums and now they have claims.I purchased Flood Insurance on every home I ever owned. One small claim, a City sewer backed up..(ANY water that enters the home from outside) is not covered by Homeowner´s Insurance. So check your own policy.Would any other insurance company get away with delaying legitimate claims for 66 days?
7, the claims couldn´t be paid until the HOUSE authorized the spending of the money. That´s the whole point.
If an area is so risky an insurance company won´t even write a policy, maybe it´s time to think twice about living there. Unclear to me why I (as a taxpayer) should underwtite the serial rebuilding of homes in Malibu that regulary burn down or slide off the side of the hill!
Even though he was not serious, I would just as soon pay for a roller coaster than a mouse or flycatcher in CA.

Silver lining
The snowstorm turned out to be a welcome one to many Kansans and many others throughout the Great Plains, who have been suffering a drought for a third straight year. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and a host of other farm-heavy states have seen crop losses as a result.
The Kansas Department of Agriculture expects those conditions to continue into April, but near-record levels of snowfall will ease the problem and could help the drought end faster.
"It snows so infrequently here. Now we've been in a really bad drought for several years; really, really hot summers and just no moisture. So we're thrilled to see snow or ice -- whatever moisture we can get," Wichita resident Kristen Woodburn said.
Ranchers embraced the storm, even though bitter cold snow can be deadly during calving season.
Frank Harper, a Kansas rancher from Sedgwick and the immediate past president of the Kansas Livestock Association, said the storm caused more work for him because he had to bring his calves inside to warm them up.
But he called the snowstorm a blessing for bringing good moisture to the winter wheat.
Rain, flooding the issue in Southeast
While millions will see snow -- including Chicago, where 3 to 5 inches of snow and sleet are expected Tuesday -- rain may rule for the next few days in parts of the Southeast.
Mobile, Alabama, on the Gulf Coast, had overcast skies and a temperature of 68 degrees at 5 p.m. CT Sunday. But within a few hours and through Monday night, residents there can expect heavy rains and wind gusts as strong as 30 mph.
The rain is part of a band affecting five Southeastern states where flash flood watches are in effect from Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning.
Some areas from Louisiana to South Carolina could see up to 4 inches of rain.

DEWITT -- The executives of a construction company will spend six months on home confinement for employing illegal aliens at Shoppingtown Mall in DeWitt.
57-year-old Anthony Cimino, President of LTCI, and 55-year-old John Cimino, the company's Vice-President, were sentenced to six months home confinement and three years of supervised release for tax evasion and conspiracy to conceal, harbor and shield illegal aliens. "Homeland Security Investigations is committed to holding businesses accountable when they knowingly hire an illegal workforce," said Nick DiNicola, assistant special agent in charge of HSI Albany, NY. "Employers who willfully violate our nation's hiring laws gain an unfair economic advantage over their law abiding competitors. Our goal is to protect job opportunities for the nation's legal workers and level the playing field for those businesses that play by the rules."
Prosecutors say LTCI, Limited, based in Philadelphia, employed undocumented illegal aliens at their worksite at the Shoppingtown Mall movie theaters. They also say John Cimino evaded federal taxes by paying a majority of overtime wages off the books.
Both defendants must also pay a $20,000 fine. They both forfeited $223,000 as proceeds from the unlawful employment of the illegal aliens. They also paid $622,492 for under-reported payroll taxes owed, which included $225,000 in penalties.

Courvoisier Introduces Connoisseur Collection, $3K L'Essence
Sitting down with Pierre Szersnovicz, the cognac house's director of spirit quality control and global brand ambassador, conversation wandered into a discussion of how, and why, someone would create a spirit simply for blending (nay, disappearing) into a mixed drink. While suitable for others, understandably so given the cocktail's continued reign, Szersnovicz emphasized that the newly created Connoisseur Collection was an appeal to the cognac aficionado and not the mixologist. To wit, Courvoisier will release two age declaring bottles in October, a 12-year and a 21-year (like whiskey, both numbers represent the youngest age in the blends). The 12-year old is a blend of stock from the crus of Borderies, Fins Bois and Grande Champagne, while the 21-year old is comprised entirely of the top-tier Grande Champagne. Double distilled, both bottlings are then put through a two-step aging process, first in young French oak barrels and then in reused casks to extract their tannis. The young barrels, which the house selects from a number of areas including Limousin, are given a medium char for subtle wood and vanilla notes, which avoids an aggressive, over-oaked profile. The results are evident in the 12-year, which shows light wood notes, spice and fruit with a finish of cloves and anise. As for the 21-year, the floral notes recede to highlight dried fruit, cooked honey and sandalwood.
And for those whom the market has come back to (or never went away from), Courvoisier introduces L'Essence. Housed in a Baccarat-designed decanter, which requires 30 craftsmen to produce and features a crystal stopper emblazoned with Napoleon's signet, L'Essence de Courvoisier contains a blend of 100 eaux-de-vies stretching back 60 to 70 years. A reliquary-like display box presents the bottle (which can be engraved) upright and illuminated by several LED lights. Wonderfully mature and complex, only 125 bottles will be available in the US, priced at $3,000. As for mixing this one, well, that's your call.

NEW YORK CITY -- Winter-weary residents got out their boots and shovels yet again as another storm moved up the East Coast on Wednesday.
The storm brought a mix of rain and snow to areas from Tennessee into New England. The snow was expected to get heavier by afternoon and could complicate the evening rush hour, particularly in New England.
Schools closed or delayed starts around the region, including in parts of Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.
CNY Central meteorologist Peter Hall says the storm will likely not affect much of Central New York, but perhaps the southern and eastern fringes of our area will see a dusting of snow. He adds to expect a mostly cloudy and quiet day with only a chance for dim sun.
If you have travel plans to Boston, Providence, Hartford, New York City, Trenton, Phildelphia and Baltimore today, Peter says you will have some travel trouble. Winter storm warnings are in effect there.
Click here to follow flight schedules in and out of Hancock International Airport in Syracuse.
Click here for Peter's complete forecast.
Across the country, Kentucky had half a foot by Wednesday morning as the snow moved across the central part of the state and headed east.
New Jersey and the Philadelphia area could get 4 to 8 inches, and high winds are expected before the storm moves out early Thursday.
The stormy weather was causing some airport delays and cancellations Wednesday morning. In Philadelphia, about 40 departing flights were canceled and some arriving flights are being delayed, some for up to nearly three hours. There were also delays at Newark Liberty International Airport.
In Philadelphia, the intensity of the storm caught some by surprise.
Lenore Roca of Ardmore, Pa., outside Philadelphia, expected a light mix of wintry weather in the morning. Her children's schools weren't delayed and the schedule looked clear for the commuter train she planned to take, so she left her driveway at 7:10 to begin her 1½ hour commute to Lansdale.
"I have a car, but the roads were already bad," said Roca, a clinical trial assistant at Research Pharmaceutical Services.
She waited in Ardmore for more than half an hour for a delayed train, then arrived in Philadelphia one minute too late to catch her connecting train to Lansdale.
Her 90-minute commute had doubled.
In downtown, Andre Floyd, a carpenter for more than a decade with the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, arrived to work at his usual time, 7 a.m., but already felt behind on his duties of clearing snow along the waterfront. When snow is expected, he said, his crew comes in at 6 to clear it.
"We got surprised now," said Floyd, of Philadelphia. "It was supposed to rain this morning."
But he's not complaining.
"It's a blessing, I got a job. I could be looking at this weather and thinking 'I don't want to go to work,' but I look at it like it's a job, I have a job. ... But I love my job to come out here and be able to provide service for people."
In New Jersey, motorists faced slick conditions as light snow fell over most of the state. Heavy snow was expected over most of the state Wednesday night.
Meteorologists say the storm could leave some significant snow in Maryland and the District of Columbia after several close calls. On Washington streets, conditions were mostly slushy or wet. But forecasts for later in day range from 1 to 10 inches of snow possible.
In New York, the lower Hudson Valley again expected to see the most snow from the storm.
Counties closest to the New York City metro area - Dutchess, Orange and Putnam - could get anywhere from 3 to 7 inches between late afternoon Wednesday and early Thursday morning.
The storm will likely bring heavy snow to much of southern New England late Wednesday and early Thursday morning.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.

MCALLEN- A Mexican man has been sentenced to 16 months in a U.S. prison for trying to bribe an officer to let illegal immigrants slip through a border crossing into Texas.
Prosecutors in McAllen say a judge Wednesday sentenced 31-year-old Jose Luis Huerta-Aguilar of Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He pleaded guilty Nov. 5 to bribery of a public official.
A Customs and Border Protection agent on June 14 began communicating via radio with Huerta-Aguilar. Prosecutors say Huerta-Aguilar was trying to pass illegal immigrants across the border with no inspection.
Prosecutors say the agent two days later met with Huerta-Aguilar at the Progreso Port of Entry and accepted cash.
Investigators say Huerta-Aguilar is in the U.S. illegally and faces deportation following his prison term.

Gig Report - my first upright gig
- From: Mike <tetrickm@xxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 14:46:38 -0000
I wanted to post this gig report on Wednesday, but Google Groups was
acting up all day, so I figured I'd wait.
Anyhow, the gig at the retirement community was terrific! The show
was scheduled to begin at 7:30. I got there around 6:15 (I like to be
the first band member at gigs). It was a torrential downpour and I
don't have a case for my upright, so I was pleased that they had a
drive-under drop-off area at the front door. I quickly got my bass
and stand, combo amp, small gig bag, and music stand in there. I was
ready to go, so I helped the social director set up the tables and
chairs while I waited (I just gotta stay busy). This retirement
community is not a depressing nursing home atmosphere, it's one of
those places that well-heeled seniors pay $5,000 a month to live at -
parking lot jammed full of Cadillacs. The band leader got there
around 6:50 with her husband and I helped get her equipment out of the
van. A real small set up, her keyboard, stand and stool, powered
mixer, 2 small speaker and 2 poles. Helped get all that set up. The
guitar player (who also plays trumpet, valve trombone, and sings about
a third of the songs we played) arrived about 7:10 and quickly loaded
his stuff onto a dolly and was set up in no time. The drummer arrived
around 7:15 and unloaded quickly and was ready to go 10 minutes
later. I asked the guitar player if we would mostly stick to the
order on the list of songs, or just call them out and he said there
likely would be no order. I wanted to try to arrange my charts a bit
to avoid having to scramble to find the music, but that was not to
be. Anyhow, it's 7:30 and we start off with L-O-V-E and all is well.
The band leader was very relaxed and happy, calling out the songs as
we go. I was able to find most of my charts quickly, but a few times
I couldn't, so I just went with it and followed along. One minor
drawback is that from where I was standing I couldn't see the band
leader's hands on the piano, nor could I see the front of the guitar,
so I couldn't look for visual clues from either person if I felt
myself getting a little lost (the guitar player did tell me a few
chords over the course of the night). I have a pretty good ear,
though, so there were no real trainwrecks. We played for about 45
minutes, took a 5 minute break, then played another 40 minutes
finishing up at 9:00. Our closer was "When the Saints Go Marching
In" (the guitar player does a convincing Louie Armstrong vocal) and
there was a conga line. Gotta love that.
As far as the physical playing of the upright, my left hand started to
get a little tired toward the end, but my right hand was feeling
good. No blisters, not even close. Maybe I'm playing too lightly?
This was probably the longest time I've played my upright at one
time. I did get a little stiffness in my legs through the gig as I
was largely in one spot. I'm used to moving around a lot when I play
electric. I found that shifting my weight around helped. Anyhow, I
was using my Fishman BP-100 pickup, into the Sansamp bass driver that
I use with my electric rig, into a nice little 80 watt Ampeg combo amp
that I pickup up off craigslist. The sound was very nice to my ears,
however the notes played on the E string were the weakest ones. I
dialed up a little more bass on the Sansamp and the amp itself and
evened it out. Not sure if this might be caused by the pickup I'm
using. I'll play around with the pickup and see if I can get it
seated onto the bridge a little better. That might help.
The band leader was very complimentary and we both agreed that we'd
like to continue to work together going forward. She plays out a lot
(some she does solo, some with just guitar, some with a band) and she
has a couple bass players she works with, I just want to be on the
list of guys she can call when she needs someone. I'm still very new
to playing standards, so I have plenty of work to do in the
The drummer was a pleasant surprise. He's one of these guys that
spent 15 years working on the L.A. scene and he is a lively player.
Used brushes all evening and punctuated his playing by using the
handle of the brushes on and in his cowbell and cymbals, and did some
well-placed vocal fills and yells, too. He is apparently a
contributing editor to Modern Drummer magazine (or some drum-related
mag). It's nice to play with a highly-skilled guy like that.
The gig ended at 9:00. The seniors were very pleased with the show.
I had the van loaded by 9:15. Helped everyone else get broken down
and loaded up, hit the road at 9:35, home before 10. Can't beat
that. Beats the hell out of playing in a smokey bar till 2:00 a.m.
(though I'll do that again many times I'm sure).
I videotaped the first hour of the gig and I will post some vids to
Youtube tonight I hope. There was only one place to set up my camera
tripod and, as it turned out, the guitar player was directly between
me and the camera (my mom will be slightly disappointed). The sound
is pretty good, though.
Thanks for the words of encouragement you all gave me before this gig!

DENVER (AP) -- A federal judge has dismissed a complaint filed against the NFL by Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams, who was seeking to overturn his drug suspension.
Attorney Peter Ginsberg said Thursday that Williams would appeal the decision.
Williams had sued the NFL to overturn a pending six-game drug suspension. He contended that the league violated protocol in collecting urine samples.
Williams faces a trial on a drunken driving charge in August. He was arrested in Denver on Nov. 12, 2010, when he was spotted driving his car without headlights. He was cited with DUI and taken to a detox facility.

NEW YORK (AP) — Investors are sending stocks higher in early trading, reassured by Alcoa Inc.'s earnings and some good news on the labor front.
The market appears to be shrugging off weakness in June retail sales reports.
Alcoa's $454 million second-quarter loss was smaller than expected, and markets around the world rose on hopes the aluminum maker is signaling that the worst of the recession is over.
The market also got some good news from the Labor Department, which said the number of initial jobless claims fell last week to their lowest level since early January.
The Dow Jones industrial average is up 47 to 8,226. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is up 5 to 885, while the Nasdaq composite index is up 13 to 1,760.

Mario Badescu Vitamin A & E Hydrating Balm [$25] is on my list (put it in my stocking please! I can always use more) It is the middle of winter and if your skin is anything like mine, you are suffering from dry skin. Not enough moisture in the air, shaving and too little fluid intake makes for itchy irritated and generally unpleasant looking skin. Grrr! What to do? One of my go to secrets for instant moisture and revivification of dry skin is Mario Badescu's Vitamin A & E Hydrating Balm, which doubles as an aftershave balm as well. Great value and you kill two birds with one stone.
What's the hype?? This balm is lightweight so it goes on easy and it absorbs into the skin quick and easy. The formulation contains peanut oil which is a natural emollient high in vitamin A in conjunction with cucumber extract to help soothe irritated sensitive skin.
- Great for sensitive skin
- Great for everyday
- Lightweight hydrating balm softens the skin and reduces irritation
- Formulated with Peanut Oil, an emollient high in Vitamin A
- Rose Hips Oil
- Cucumber Extract to help soothe sensitive skin
- For use after shaving, before bed, or under a moisturizer for maximum benefits
My skin has been thanking me – ESPECIALLY because I have been shaving a bit more these days. Irritation is a big offender when it's cold outside! I went a while without shaving and had a goatee, I started shaving about a month ago. Now that I am clean for the holidays, the redness crops up when I shave. The essential oils and peanut oil make my skin feel soft plus that cucumber has been VERY soothing. Bottom line, this a great all around moisturizer for men to use any time of the year (but it has been especially helpful for me this winter). It works great for shaving, before bed and after you wake up in the morning to help keep your skin healthy and hydrated.
