High Road Bridge
Update: The contractor is making slow but sure progress. The wing walls of the West Abutment were poured Thursday the 27th. There is a delay getting started with the retaining walls on the East side due to a disagreement between the engineers involved. Hopefully those issues will be resolved soon. The contractor will be stripping the forms and backfilling the West side until the retaining wall issue can be ironed out.

Novel Fever Takes the World by Storm
National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo
Saturdays through November
On November 5, armed only with their wits, the vague outline of a story, and a ridiculous deadline, more than 250,000 people around the world and a few intrepid beings from Lee, NH will set out to become novelists. Why? Because November is National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, the world’s largest writing challenge and nonprofit literary crusade. Participants pledge to write 50,000 words in a month, starting from scratch and reaching “The End” by November 30. There are no judges, no prizes, and entries are deleted from the server before anyone even reads them. So what’s the point? “The 50,000-word challenge has a wonderful way of opening up your imagination and unleashing creativity,” says NaNoWriMo founder Chris Baty. “When you write for quantity instead of quality, you end
up getting both.” One of the many former participants of this event includes Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants. Lee Public Library invites writers to join together on Saturdays in November and drop in any time the Library is open from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Bring the tools of your trade and be prepared to be inspired by the collective sound of pen scratching on paper or fingers tapping on keyboards. Your table is waiting.
