Countless children toddled for the first time across the floors inside Malmstrom Air Force Base's Lincoln and Washington Circle housing complexes. It's not surprising that after a half century, those floors, along with walls, plumbing and such, have reached the end of their functional life. Site work on a $57.6 million housing project, the sixth of seven phases, started last week. Demolition and abatement of the row-style housing built in the mid-1950s and '60s begins soon. .
It's been a hot summer in Alabama. We've been in a drought. It hasn't been ideal for people who love to spend summer on some of Alabama Power's lakes. Water levels have been well below normal on Lake Harris, Lake Martin, Weiss Lake, Lake Neely Henry, Logan Martin Lake and Smith Lake. Of course, conditions on Smith Lake are of special interest to your readers. On Oct. 2 the level on Smith was 493.7 feet. That's about three feet below the typical level for this time of year. Through most of the summer, the lake was about four feet below its average level. In some places around the lake, low water has made it difficult for people to use their boats. Certainly, it has affected many people's ability to fully enjoy their time on the lake. The drought conditions that led to little or no inflows to our lakes have affected Alabama Power and its customers, too.

Most owners choose the floor plan, finishes and fixtures that go into their custom-built homes. Juan Guevara made those choices and more. He selected each interior and exterior component and confirmed every detail in building his $1 million home in Delaware County. He also hand-picked the roofer, framer, excavator, drywall installer and a host of other subcontractors. Guevara made the decision to be his own general contractor, a choice more homeowners are making in projects big and small. He said his decision to manage the project has saved him a significant amount of money and given him more control over the project. "We went to many custom builders and found that, with the money we would save, we could have more house. I expect to save about $200,000," he said. "With a builder, you dont have as much control." Guevara, the owner of a flooringinstallation company, now has a second full-time job making sure the subcontractors show up when they are needed and that they follow the detailed plans drawn by an architect.
BERLIN, N.H. News that federal officials have approved construction of a medium security prison in Berlin (New Hampshire) is drawing mixed reaction. City officials say they're happy because the prison will bring good jobs. But some other residents in the region say they're worried about their safety and the prison's impact on the environment. Lucille Saint-Onge Hickey in nearby Milan (MY-lan) says Berlin officials never gave the residents in other towns a chance to vote on the prison. Donna Roy, also of Milan, says the area planned for the federal prison is a beautiful area for hiking and fishing. She says the prison just doesn't belong. Plans call for a construction contract to be awarded this spring. Construction is expected to take about three years. Copyright 2006 Associated Press.
