Police Blotter: Woman and cat napping on porch - Curry Coastal Pilot

Speaking from his front porch in California most mornings for about an hour on Instagram, Maron has been sharing his grief and the minutiae of everyday life in quarantine.

He generally signals his nearly 900,000 followers on Twitter before his live appearances, saying he'll "be over in the other place in about 15 minutes." He'll then start rolling as he carries on with daily tasks, like taking his recycling to the curb or preparing his coffee.

The bespectacled and bearded Maron observes nature, eats salted watermelon, sips smoothies and shares what he's having for lunch. He answers viewers' questions as they pop up in his feed, revealing stories about his past drug use, daily hikes or updates about his cat Buster, who Maron feels has grown irritated with him now that all his attention is focused solely on the pet.

But mostly, he shares his sadness, for Shelton, for his beloved cat, Monkey, who died in August, and for the divisiveness that has taken over the country.

Shelton had moved in with Maron early in the pandemic, he has said, and died suddenly from an undiagnosed blood disorder. Maron recently pointed to Shelton's coat and hat, still hanging on the coat rack by his front door. Her cowboy boots are lined up below. Maron said he uses these items to "summon" her when he needs to.

"She was my partner. She was my girlfriend. She was my friend. And I loved her. A lot. And she loved me, and I knew that," Maron said in an episode of his "WTF" podcast following her death.

"It's awesome to hear stories about Lynn. It sounds like she was a wonderful person," one viewer commented Monday, as Maron shared a broth recipe Shelton loved.

Mourning is painful and mourning amid a pandemic that's keeping us apart even more so. Maron seems to be leaning into his audience as they turn to him.

"If I can't hang out with friends, I can hang out with Marc every morning," wrote another commenter on Monday.

Like many in this time, Maron admits that he sometimes feels alone, is nervous about the coronavirus, wildfires, the government, the Earth, among countless other things. He's sometimes paranoid, other times grouchy but also hopeful.

Maron said his Instagram appearances are, in part, an opportunity for him to work out his comedy, in case you didn't get that.

When viewers ask when he will get back to stand-up, he often replies, "I'm doing it right now."

He'll look up and reference the number of viewers on the top right of his screen. "Seven hundred people, not a bad crowd."

And then he signs off.

Marc Maron is inviting us to grieve with him from his front porch - CNN

Bill Hand|Sun Journal

As we all pretty much hope to do one day, I have become a Beatles song. No, not Let It Be. Ive never been able to let anything be. I can fidget the life out of pretty much anything.

Nor Penny Lane (though, like the banker, Ive never worn a mac in the pouring rain. Very strange.)

No, the song Ive become and that, I suppose, most of us hope one day to be, is When Im Sixty-Four.

Trivia: Paul McCartney was only 15 when he wrote that on the family piano. He was 24 when he recorded it; he divorced his 38-year-old wife when he was 64 in 2006 (Will you still feed me? No, and I want the dog the house and the Rolls!). He is 78 now, and can only sing When I Was Sixty-four, assuming he can remember what life was like that long ago.

I used to occasionally give thought to learning that on guitar and playing it to my wife before the 64th anniversary of post-womb existence, but I blew it. On Wednesday I went to bed 63 and woke up Thursday morning a Beatles song, but replacing Vera, Chuck and Dave with just Sara and Rachel. I guess its just something Ill have to yank off my bucket list.

I talked to an old friend in Erie, and he is the one who pointed out that we had not only missed singing the song in a legitimate way but that we had somehow become the song.

Youre in a strange world when youre growing old. In our youth-obsessed world, we refuse to admit age; we call ourselves middle-aged at best, as if were all going to make our 128th birthday. If were rich we buy all the youth we can in the form of Botox and plastic surgeons. We look in the mirror and recognize the person looking back at us, but we blink because were trying to figure out whos wrinkled skinhe borrowed to live in.

I can remember my father growing old, and how I didnt think it would happen to me; I can distinctly remember my mother-in-laws 50th birthday and how smug I felt at her advancing age and my own anything-but-advancing youth.

And were living in a weird age to be aged.

What happened to rocking chairs and front porches? I mean, I see rocking chairs on front porches all the time but the only thing that occupies them is autumnal floral arrangements. When I was young, grandparents used those things. They sat there, slowly rocking, ruminating over their lives, often with their needles stuck on that same single episode they remember best, telling it to us over and over. Grandma lived in the kitchen, baking cookies, and grandpa sat out back, firing off his opinion of the whippersnappers who didnt know anything, or offering philosophy often profound, occasionally outdated, and sometimes just plain weird.

And I am talking about the traditional grandparents in the cities and towns, not the country ones where grandma was churning butter at 95, even though stores had been making cheap butter and margarine since she was 30, and where Grandpa was out milking cows and overhauling tractors until he died with a wrench in his hand or a cat staring morosely by the bucket, wondering why the guy squirting milk her way had up and quit.

Today, rocking on the porch and complaining about the neighbors kids in our yards is the last thing on our minds. Were Facebooking and texting, golfing, tennis-ing and fishing and reaching our favorite fishing holes on a jet ski; none of this namby-pamby Ford pickup stuff.

We have more energy than ever before (not that a recliner and tv show wont instantly put us to sleep after 7 p.m.). We keep aging but we weve quit growing old (did you know the government dropped old age as a cause of death way back in 1951?). Medicines and an awareness that walks and bicycles do a lot more for your health than rocking on the porch are keeping us healthier.

At 64 I have your traditional aches and pains; rigor mortis is running early tests while I sleep I know it because I feel its stiffness when I first get out of bed in the morning. But otherwise, Im pretty good. My mind seems clear if a little weird; I can do pretty well the things Ive always done, so long as I do it just a bit more slowly and with a touch more caution. The only real health problem Im feeling as I write this is an ongoing ear worm for a Beatles song in my head.

By life span, Im into my final quarter. But Im not old. And Ill never truly be old until the young people around me start telling me Im (fill in the blank) years young.

Will you still read me now that I'm sixty-four? - New Bern Sun Journal

Its a late summer day, high noon, and Im standing in the doorway that connects our study to the screened porch. A pleasant breeze out of the south wafts over me, making its way through a north window to who knows where. Perhaps the breeze will cool someone else.

In the backyard a gray squirrel forages for an acorn, then hops onto the trunk of the giant oak tree. Its one of many porch moments Ive experienced in more than 40 years of living in this house.

Many nice features make up this domicile we call home, but that porch is something on which Im glad previous owners chose to spend their hard-earned money. It is a place to read, write, snooze, dine out, listen to music and enjoy the view of the small but interesting landscape. Sitting there listening to the sound of rain watering the flowers is a relaxing way to while away the hours.

Back to that squirrel. Whether it is foraging or chasing other wagtails (my late fathers name for squirrels) up and around the trunk of the oak, the porch affords a 270-degree view into the world of those critters and others. Watching the squirrels could be described as cheap entertainment.

On a recent summer evening I was out back studying the night sky through the boughs of said oak when my wife, Karen, said: Phil, theres a raccoon on the side of the tree! I walked in a quiet manner to that side of the tree, and sure enough, a few feet above me the animal with the black mask looked down on me, illuminated by the rays of the floodlight that showcases the white oaks character. We watched until the raccoon climbed up and beyond, out of the light. A view from the porch.

Being on the porch does not always allow us to observe the feathered, furry or six-legged inhabitants of the place. They may be out of view in the shrubs and treetops. Thats when you train your eyes in the direction of the mating calls made by cicadas, katydids and tree crickets. Known but often unseen, all are part of the tableau.

Birds also fit into the picture, often seen and heard concurrently, other times known to us only by their songs or calls. The pair of cardinals that were nesting in a shrub next door let their presence be known to us when they flew into the boxwood adjacent to the porch and started yelling at our cat, Maisie. The alarm calls of ticked off robins, fearing that the cat might get after their fledglings, made for quite the vocal assault on Maisie. In the end neither species had to worry because the screen thwarted any loss of avian life by the resident predator.

Other birds making themselves known to us in this movie enjoyed from our screening room are woodpeckers, barred owls, bluejays and Carolina wrens that announce themselves with their ringing song.

When it comes to porches, a screen can be a nice feature in more ways than one. Because of its charcoal color, the screen acts somewhat as a blind, making it less easy for the critters to see us watching them. That barrier also keeps mosquitoes and other six-leggeds from annoying us as we do whatever we wish to do on the porch.

Dining al fresco is something we enjoy, be it the two of us, a foursome or when we have several guests at our home. For large parties, the porch acts as a nice transition between the interior and the backyard party scenes. Considering the options our guests can choose from, the porch is prime real estate where some folks spend the better part of the evening. Throw in the glow of oil lamps, good food and conversation: The ambiance could not be more enjoyable.

Its late September, and summer is merging into autumn. A May Sunday morning on the porch, when I sat in my late father-in-laws tattered recliner, the suns warm rays on my neck, casting a head shadow on a page of The Lima News, is now two seasons in the past. Then the breeze was a welcome thing. Now it means going from T-shirt to light jacket apparel to remain comfortable while writing. Its time for the conversion.

Conversion means installing poly film on the screen panels and acrylic sheets on the screen door to keep autumn breezes and winter winds that sift snow through the screen at bay. It means that as the sun goes lower its rays will be trapped, and the porch will be a more comfortable place to enjoy life. Maisie will hang out as well, and while the poly film does not afford a clear view of the yard, the door will allow the opportunity for her to satisfy her feline curiosity.

With little effort and expense (the poly film lasts four to five years) I convert the porch to a four-season sunroom. I suppose one could argue the point, but it does extend the use of the porch.

On a cold January day, say 25 degrees with bright sun, I slip on a jacket and hat, and I am warm. It may not be everyones picture of comfort, but its 55 degrees on a cold winters day. Its the simple things in life.

If I put the book down and take a nap that January afternoon, I will awaken and perhaps recall a dream. It might be one where I am standing in that aforementioned doorway, enjoying a cool breeze and watching the wagtails forage for acorns.

Its easy to picture yourself sitting on the back porch of this Cape Cod-style home wrapped in a cozy blanket and enjoying a hot cup of coffee while looking out onto Cutchogues Broadwaters Cove.

The overall vibe is warm and intimate, said listing agent Kim West of Corcoran. This is a home thats meant to be lived in. Upon arrival, you are immediately drawn to the outdoors and, of course, to the panoramic water views.

But the mahogany porch(es!) and views are just two of the many things we love about this property.

Inside the home, on the second level, there are three bedrooms, including a master suite with Juliette balcony, and two full bathrooms. On the main level, enjoy a semi-open floor plan with a kitchen boasting high-end appliances, a dining room and a living room with a wood-burning stove. Theres also an additional flex-bedroom and full bathroom.

Both the living room and dining room have sliding doors that open to the back patio overlooking Broadwaters Cove.

The layout is inviting and well-thought-out, West said. My favorite spot is the kitchen, its perfect for entertaining! The huge island and beamed ceilings offer both function and charm. And the semi-open floor plan lends itself to privacy when you need it, while still conducive to entertaining.

Outside the home, youll find lush landscaping, a catwalk to your very own private boat dock, a whole-house generator and solar panels.

Theres no doubt that this would be the perfect home to host the upcoming holidays in.

The property is listed at $1,999,000.

Instead of the normal gatherings, Sumter police ask city residents to turn on their porch lights from 7 9 p.m. Oct. 6 for National Night Out.

SUMTER, S.C. Each year, National Night Out events bring together police and the communities they serve to have conversations, interact and build relationships.

These events normally draw a crowd, but this year, many of the gatherings will look different due to COVID-19.

Sumter police plan to celebrate Oct. 6, but, instead of the normal cookouts and other community events, theyre asking city residents to turn on their porch lights from 7 9 p.m.

During that time, police will ride through city neighborhoods to convey a spirit of togetherness.

Even though were going through this epidemic and through this COVID, its still important to let people know in the community that we still care about them and we still have this working relationship, 1st Sgt. James Sinkler said. Were asking people to turn on their porch lights that want to participate in it and were going to have officers just kind of riding through the neighborhood. We won't be getting out. There won't be people having cookouts and large gatherings like we normally do.

PORT JERVIS - Barbara Marszalek offers nourishment for body and spirit at the Thursday morning neighborhood breakfasts she serves on her porch at Kamelot, her therapeutic community center on Ball Street.

On a recent morning, dishes ranged from oatmeal and fruit salad to the hanky pankies brought by Patti Van Demark. Carrots, eggplant, lettuce and wax beans for the taking festooned another table. Cornell Cooperative Extension leaves vegetables at Kamelot every week.

Yesterday, there was watermelon and icicle radishes. They all went, Marszalek said.

But for some, communing with neighbors is the needed nourishment, she said. They skip the food and just chat.

We get the socialization we havent been getting, said Spiro Ragouzeos, who moved to Port Jervis from Queens three years ago.

Disgruntled, disillusioned New Yorker comes to Port Jervis to start a new life was how he described himself.

He had been doing administrative work for a small department at New York University and living in the Queens neighborhood where he grew up.

Every place evolves, but its not the community-oriented place I knew, where everyone looks out for each other. Everyones on their own path there, he said.

He found Port Jervis on a drive with a friend.

We liked the natural beauty, friendliness and the businesses here. Theres a potential for things to happen in Port Jervis, he said.

At the other end of the porch, Marszalek spoke Polish with Paula Kaminsky, who moved to Port Jervis after living in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, for 20 years.

Port Jervis is small. Everythings close. Neighbors are nice, she said. As for Barbaras breakfasts, she said, People come here to talk. Barbara gives good advice. I bring things I dont use my husbands tools, old clothes.

Also chatting on the porch was Carolyn Kalanyos, community engagement coordinator for Jewish Family Services, based in Middletown.

Our group helps old folks with getting to medical services, taking care of house chores and shopping, she said. People call us, and we try to find neighbors to help them. Were looking for volunteers. Anyone interested can call her at 845-341-1173, ext. 303.

Marszaleks porch has been a good source of volunteers, including Marszalek herself, Kalanyos said. And after delivering her hanky pankies, which she made with sausage, parmesan and Romano cheese and parsley on toast, Van Dermark said she was off to take someone shopping.

Jenny Volpe, who was staying with her parents in Port Jervis on the way to moving from Texas to Virginia, chatted on the porch too. She kept an eye on her 6-year-old Amelia, who collected bugs from the lawn in a jar.

People start coming at 8:45, usually about 20, Marszalek said. Some just pass through. Others take the opportunity to stay and catch up.

As the weather cools, she is thinking of offering soup later in the day and moving the gathering into her garage, she said.

On Saturday afternoon, grab your lawn chairs and blankets and head downtown to Washingtons first Front Porch Music and Arts Festival.

Hosted by the Tri County Alliance for the Fine and Performing Arts, a newly formed organization that includes Daviess, Martin and Pike counties, the free event is open to all ages and begins at 3 p.m. with acoustic music from Chris Main on the front porch of the Rhonda Roach residence at 800 W. Walnut.

At 4 p.m., the Power House, 709 E. Main, will play host to Three Girls and a Mustache and at 5, just down Main Street on the porch of A Wonderful Life will be music provided by Dan and Judah Maley.

The music continues into the evening with Larry and Cherie Worley playing on the porch of Eric and Julie Basslers home at 12 N. Seventh St. at 6 p.m. Joe Howard and Jenna Clouse will entertain from the porch of Paula Van-Tyle Smith at 707 E. Walnut at 7 p.m. Jess Brower and Rhett Burton will perform at John and Nancy Wilkins porch at 8 p.m. before the upbeat sounds of Guilty As Charged return to Van-Tyle Smiths porch at 9 p.m.

All COVID-19 guidelines will be in place including wearing a mask and social distancing. In an effort to help be in compliance with those guidelines, organizers ask that before heading out to hear the music, all attendees, sign in at the Power House where several vendors will be selling a variety of items ranging from body products to jewelry and everything in between.

Several food trucks will also be set up near the Power House and on Walnut Street.

Pumpkin painting, pony rides and other activities will also be offered at no cost to children and art demonstrations will take place at Roachs home.

In the future, the Tri County Alliance for the Fine and Performing Arts hopes to use proceeds from the event to help raise money to build an indoor, 2,500 to 3,000 seat state-of-the-art auditorium. The other goals of the organization are to showcase local talent and bring in outside talent and grow an appreciation.

Front Porch Music and Art Festival slated for Saturday - Washington Times Herald

A new report shows that an estimated 1,527 new housing units have been authorized in Hawaii in 2020which equates to 107.5 units for every 100,000 residents.

The porch.com report notes that while home sales and new construction fell sharply during the onset of the pandemic, both have rebounded aggressively, fueled by a combination of low interest rates, increased demand and a growing preference for low-density housing.

According to the report, thelockdowns delayed peak home buying season, creating pent up demand for new homes, compounding a longer-term trend in the housing market of millennials aging and entering their prime home-buying years.

With this confluence of factors, prospective home buyers face a difficult situationwhile low interest rates are lowering the cost of a mortgage, the limited supply of existing homes is creating stiff competition for new homes and raising prices, according to the report.

The report further states that it will take home builders years to bridge the gap between the existing supply of homes for sale and the large number of interested buyers. However, investment in new housing varies significantly across the United States.

Many US states, particularly those in the South and Mountain regions, have been investing heavily in new housing this year despite the pandemic. Overall, Idaho, Utah, South Carolina, and Arizona have permitted the most new housing units per capita, while Texas and Florida have permitted the most units total. Northeastern states like Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and New York are hardly investing in new homes at all.

Porch analyzed data from the US Census Bureaus Building Permits Survey. To rank locations, Porch calculated the number of new housing units authorized during the first six months of 2020 per 100,000 residents. Their researchers also included the absolute number of new housing units authorized, the median home price of existing homes, and the estimated value of newly authorized homes.

A summary of data for Hawaii includes the following:

In comparison, United States data includes the following:
