Dining Out Of Doors Pleasant Variation
The house with either enclosed or open rear porch really comes into its own during the Summer months. For informal luncheons or dinners the porch makes a lovely setting with the background of a garden. Porch furniture either in inexpensive rattan or wrought iron will prove to be more satisfactory than the more expensive upholstered formal furniture.

Sabino residents protest road condition and governance
Sabino property owners and summer residents held an indignation meeting at Sabino hall after the weekly Weenie Roast to protest West Bath town officials over the road to the resort. They blamed recent repairs for worsening danger due to big rocks left uncovered and insufficient binder. A petition to county commissioners was planned to demand safer, passable road conditions and a tax reallocation study to possibly form a distinct Sabino community separate from the town, following Birch Point precedent.
