Home Plan of the Week
Alder Springs is hexagonal at its core
By Associated Designs
An abundance of natural light
washes into the Alder Springs
great room through the self-same
windows that offer great views to
the rear. This home is designed for
construction on a lot that slopes
down at the left and back.
While its neo-classical Georgian
front facade gives it a traditional
look, the interior floor plan
is totally contemporary. Outside,
smooth columns frame the lofty
covered porch; raised stone bands

accent the bold brick-veneer-covered
columns that support and
highlight the porte cochere.
Expansive and richly windowed
hexagonal rooms form the core of
the interior on two levels. Both
have wings. On the main floor, a
wide covered deck wraps around
three sides to offer the same fantastic
viewing options as the great
room. Doors in the central wall
section provide deck access. At the
basement level, similar doors lead
to a covered patio that also wraps
around three sides.
A fireplace sits at the center of
one wall section in the great room.
The kitchen, which carves out a
place for itself on the opposite
wall, has two peninsular counters,
which you can look out
across into the great room and
beyond. The counter that
fronts the sink is rimmed
by a raised eating bar.
Two bedrooms and
a bathroom are in
the wing behind the
kitchen. This wing

Moving vans have been busy this late spring and early summer as
hundreds of hockey fans take up residence on Cloud 9.
We’re talking Montreal Canadiens’ fans, of
course.
The Habs, with only 24 wins in 56 games,
barely made the playoffs in the National Hockey
League’s Canadian Division, considered the
weakest of the four in the realigned Covid-19
setup. They weren’t supposed to beat the Toronto
Maple Leafs in the first round, but they did,
4-3 in the best-of-seven, coming back from a 3-1
deficit to do so. They weren’t supposed to beat
Winnipeg Jets in the Canadian Division final,
because the Jets had finished four points ahead
of Montreal in the regular season. But they did,
impressively, a four-game sweep. And then they
definitely weren’t supposed to beat the Vegas
Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup semi-final,
because the No. 1-ranked Golden Knights outpointed
them by a whopping 23 points (82-59)
during the regular season.
So here they are, the Cin-
FROM THE derella Habs, vying for their
SIDELINES first Stanley Cup since 1993
and creating a hockey frenzy
BRUCE PENTON
in July in La Belle Province
and dozens of pockets of
Canada from coast to coast.
Back in the Original Six
days of the NHL, Canadian
hockey fans generally rooted
for either the Canadiens or
the Leafs, and those cheering
habits were often passed
down through generations. As
a result, it’s hard to walk into any bar, or any
business, or stop on any block anywhere in English-
or French Canada and not find an avid ‘CH’
supporter.
Whether the Habs’ playoff magic carries
through to a victory over Tampa Bay Lightning
remains to be seen, but it has been a glorious and
unforgettable six weeks for fans of the Rouge,
Blanc and Bleu. Goalie Carey Price has been sensational,
recording a 2.02 goals-against average
and .934 save percentage in games leading to the
final. The defence, led by Shea Weber (remember
when Habs’ fans lamented the trade bringing Weber
to Montreal and sending beloved P.K. Subban
to Nashville?), has been rock solid and up front, a
collection of trade acquisitions, long-in-the-tooth
veterans and blossoming draft picks have combined
to provide just enough offence to make this
magic happen. Through three playoff rounds,
Montreal had a mere three players among the top
30 playoff scorers — free agent signee Tyler Toffoli
was 10th; Nick Suzuki, acquired from Vegas in
the 2018 Max Pacioretty deal, was 13th; and
2019 draft pick Cole Caufield, who joined the
Habs with 10 games left in the regular season
after a stellar college career, was 30th.
It’s been a great ride for the Habs, and
their fans couldn’t be more excited. But really,
they can’t be expected to beat the defending
Cup champion Lightning, can they?
Can they?
• Phil Mushnick of the New York Post:
“MLB fan marketing surveys now include
a question as to the political party one is
registered, Democrat or Republican. Seriously,
as if that’s any of MLB business or should
influence its business. I’d go with Bolshevik, on
behalf of all the players who choose to Trotsky
to first base.”
• Patti Dawn Swansson, on Twitter: “Toronto
Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo calling
to the bullpen for help is like relying on Tiger
Woods for emergency roadside assistance.”
• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “A long-term
study of musicians and chess players has led
scientists to finally conclude that practice
doesn’t makes perfect. Wouldn’t it have been
easier to just follow the Toronto Maple Leafs?”
• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “After failing
to make his fifth Olympic team, Ryan Lochte
said, ‘I wanted to prove so much to everyone.’
‘That’s great,’ said a man, ‘but can I order my
Starbucks latte now’?”
• Kaseberg again: Returning U.S. Open champion,
Bryson DeChambeau, shot eight over par
on the back nine of the final round. Bryson refused
to call it a meltdown. Really? Compared
to him, Chernobyl was a slight glitch.”
• Ron Borges of si.com, giving his take on Buffalo
wide receiver Cole Beasley saying he won’t
get vaccinated and ‘I may die of Covid, but I’d
rather die actually living.’:”How many times
has this guy been hit in the head again?”
• Headline at theonion.com: “Bob Baffert Once
Again Denies Doping Allegations After Medina
Spirit Wins Coca-Cola 600.”
• From Fark.com: “Aaron Nola strikes out 10
straight New York Mets, if you wondering why
people are abandoning major league baseball
in droves.”
• Another one from Fark.com: “Houston Astros
have won 11 in a row. Forget foreign substances,
MLB should start checking for cameras and
trash cans.”
• Steve Simmons of Sun Media: “I’d like to golf
with Buck Martinez, if only to hear him chant
‘Get out ball, get out!’ after I’ve hit yet another
drive out of bounds.”
