The Winchester native, clad in canary yellow from head to toe, crushed his six-iron from the tee, but it hit the embankment just short of the green and rolled back into Casco Bay.

From China come bitter melon, gow choy, a garlicky chive, bok choy cabbage, and an aromatic celery, heung kuhn -all valuable for good wokmanship.
