Marie Rose Building Under The weekly newspaper serving the Towns of Bethlehem and New Scotland January 24, 1996 Marie Rose building under way Project expected to be completed by June J,Jy Mel Hyman .I .The Marie Rose Manor senior housing development survived several Iaw!iuits aimed at its heart, so there's no ..reason why a little cold and snow should deter it. Despite an unseasonably cold and snowy winter, construction on the 50-unit, low-income apartment complex began in Iate October and has continued unabated throughout the ensuing months.

    2017 US OPEN Flushing, New York, USA | August 28-September 10, 2017 Draw Size: S-128, D-64 | $50.4 million | Hard www.usopen.org DAY 11 MEDIA NOTES | Thursday, September 7, 2017 FEATURED MEN’S DOUBLES SEMI-FINALS GRANDSTAND [1] Henri Kontinen/John Peers vs. [12] Jean-Julien Rojer/Horia Tecau Kontinen/Peers Leads 2-1 [11] Feliciano Lopez/Marc Lopez vs. [5] Bob Bryan/Mike Bryan Lopez/Lopez Leads 2-1 DAY 11 HIGHLIGHTS • The spotlight turns to doubles at the US Open on Thursday with four former Grand Slam champions in the semi- finals. Five-time US Open champions Bob and Mike Bryan are back in the ‘Final Four,’ where they will meet Feliciano and Marc Lopez in a rematch of the 2016 US Open quarter-finals. The Spaniards (unrelated) defeated the American twins in that match and the 2016 Roland Garros final, but lost to them on August 16 at Cincinnati. • Mike Bryan broke a tie with Daniel Nestor on Tuesday and became the winningest doubles player of the Open Era with his 1,052nd victory. Mike owns 14 more wins than Bob because he earned two Davis Cup victories with Mardy Fish and 13 victories with other partners while Bob played singles qualifying at the Grand Slams in 2002. Bob owns one Davis Cup win with John Isner. The Bryans have played in 23 straight US Opens (1995-Present) and 75 straight Grand Slams overall (1999 Roland Garros-Present). The No. 5 seeds have not won a Grand Slam title since the 2014 US Open, their longest drought since capturing their first of 16 majors at 2003 Roland Garros.

  • Open Summary
    Open Summary By Andre Agassi How do you muster enough determination to persevere with something that you loathe? Does passion fuel success? And, when is it too late to get off the path that's been laid out in front of you? Open is the captivating autobiography by tennis legend Andre Agassi. It's an insightful look into the life of one of the most beloved athletes of a generation, his battle with secret dragons, and his crippling identity crisis. Andre Agassi was dubbed a "punk," and the rebel of the tennis scene. Fans copied his signature look, and he made tennis "cool." However, as Agassi says, 'I'm flattered by the imitators, embarrassed, thoroughly confused. I can't imagine all these people trying to be like Andre Agassi, since I don't want to be Andre Agassi.' We'll briefly delve into Andre Agassi's fascinating story, and how he became a tennis legend that defined a generation. We'll also look at some of the book's lessons about success, determination, and true grit. Slaying the Dragon 'I hate tennis, hate it with all my heart, and still I keep playing, keep hitting all morning, and all afternoon, because I have no choice. No matter how much I want to stop, I don't. I keep begging myself to stop, and I keep playing, and this gap, this contradiction between what I want to do and what I actually do, feels like the core of my life.' Andre Agassi was born with spondylolisthesis, which is a back condition that can cause severe pain.

  • The Platypus Papers
    I m 7 r TJl::- 40 years Platypus, Sailplane & Gliding maga- J? zine's star writer by his own admission, has been entertaining gliding enthusiasts (with some success) as well as lecturing and admonishing them (with no success whatever) in what started as occa­ sional jottings but soon developed into a regular treadmill. Despite his sporadic attempts to escape, the Editor of the day always dispatched the Rottweilers to drag him back to his desk. Every aspect of gliding is covered, from the sub­ lime (soaring vast distances at near-stratospheric altitudes over California, New Zealand or the French Alps) to the squalid (problems of basic bodily func­ tions at low altitudes and retrieves from quagmires inaccessible to any wheeled conveyance). Early attempts in open cockpits to stay airborne at all, and thousand-kilometre flights in super ships, are given equally heroic treatment. While we're talking about accessibility, although these pieces were originally written for glider pilots, they can all be enjoyed by non-aviators, especially those who are curious about the sport of soaring and the strange people who do it. The ATC class of 1949-with Platypus ringed in white and Keith Mansell, EGA Treasurer, arrowed A talent for draw- Z-ViQg fighters and bombers helped the young Peter Fuller to avoid being beaten up by the other kids.

    Senior Tennis 2011 – 1 Volume Seven • Number Fifteen • Spring • 2011 THE NEW ENGLAND SENIOR TENNIS FOUNDATION BULLETIN Ken and Dorcas Miller 2010 USTA New England Family of the Year By Helaine K. Block Ken and Dorcas Miller were named Family of the Year for 2010 for their many contributions to the game, but primarily for their institution of their newly instituted amateur Grand Slam circuit. Dorcas and Ken Miller have a genuine passion for tennis. Their love of the sport is apparent from the moment you meet them and pose the question of when did they first become involved in the sport. A very likeable and humble couple, the Millers are a pair of highly skilled and highly ranked tennis players who have participated in national and New England senior tournaments on a regular basis for just shy of three decades. Dorcas currently holds the No. 1 ranking for 2010 in the Women’s 70-year old division in New England and is seventh nationally. Ken represents half of the No. 2 ranked doubles team in New England in the 70-year- old division. Ironically, neither picked up the sport until they were in their 30s. In her younger days, Dorcas was a stay-at-home mother and an equestrian who enjoyed riding horses. One day, while riding, she was thrown from her horse. Fortunately, her injuries were minimal and she walked away with only a separated shoulder. Once the injury healed, her doctor recommended rehabilitation in either physical therapy or playing tennis to regain the strength in her arm.
