Bush looks more like the base of a large building than the bottom of a sleek warship. It’s a sight not many people see — not even most of the thousands of workers who have labored on the ship during the past six years in advance of the Oct. 7 christening. Based on unprecedented access to the shipyard for the past six months, this special section takes the rest of us under, over, inside and out, to tell the story of the 10th and last Nimitz-class carrier — and some of the workers building it. .

Zone Community Center want to raise about $45,000
Organizers of the Zone Community Center want to raise about $45,000, $10 at a time, to complete construction of a facility at the corner of Ann and Walnut streets in the village of Richfield Springs. The 3,200 square-foot building is framed and sided, but it needs plumbing, heating, air conditioning and interior work. "We've got about 60 percent of the building done, and we'd like to have it completed by late spring,'' Larry Kroon, president of the Richfield Springs Youth Ministry, said Tuesday. The ministry operates the Zone Youth Center, a supervised place for teenagers to gather on Friday and Saturday nights. In 1999, the Zone opened in the basement of the Church of Christ Uniting but soon outgrew the space. It relocated to 140 Main St., a building owned by local businessman Jay Bernhardt.
Famed Diner Reopens After Fire
Biting wind gusts and single-digit temperatures didn't stop customers from lining up outside for the re-opening early Monday morning of O'Rourke's Diner, the Middletown icon destroyed in a fire nearly 18 months ago.
"It's been a year and a half since I've had his corned beef hash. That's way too long," Ethan Platt of Portland said as he waited first in line next to his buddy Matt Schickling, of Sturbridge, Mass.
"Setting my alarm at 3 a.m. was a little crazy but I knew it would be worth it," Schickling said minutes before the door opened to the Main Street diner that's been a popular restaurant and gathering place in Middletown since 1941.
