Famous Cutter Bear Headed for Arctic Trip and Potential Replacement
The coast guard cutter Bear, aging veteran of Arctic rescues, is slated for discard with a $925,000 plan in Congress to replace her with a steel vessel. Critics note the Bear’s repeated “last voyage” refrain, yet she has long aided remote Bering Sea communities and rescued crews from ships such as the whaler James Allen.

Demand Protection in Purchasing of Realty
Advice stresses securing title insurance and writing all terms in the purchase contract. It urges buyers to insist on written minor changes and stated improvements, noting title insurance guarantees the property is free from encumbrances unless noted.
Choice of Plaster or Stucco Base Important
The article argues for a strong base under plaster or stucco to prevent cracking and failure. It favors a reinforced fabric plaster base backed by a fire resistive metal grid, which adds strength, resists rust, and improves permanence for both plaster and stucco walls.
Picture molding to beautify rooms and create height
The article explains using picture molding to enhance room appeal and perceived height. Placing molding along narrow walls or ends can visually shorten long rooms or raise a low ceiling feel. It notes panels on walls are possible but not advised for small rooms.
