When it comes to scenic places for a meal around Vail, the only thing that compares to Grill on the Gore is a restaurant on the top of Vail Mountain itself. Nestled in the valley floor with an unobstructed view of the snow-covered Gore Range, Grill on the Gore also comes with an expansive playground known as the Vail Nordic Center.
And nothing says winter in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado like a bottomless soup bar — the ultimate pick-me-up on a chilly winter day. Whether enjoying a day cross-country skiing, fat biking or snowshoeing at the Nordic Center, or just traveling 2 miles away from the hustle and bustle of Vail Village, Grill on the Gore offers three soups every day.
Chef John Zavoral, along with his sous chef and banquet chef, will be serving up a bison chili daily, with the other two soups changing every day. They are expecting to come up with 30-40 soups this winter, all pulling from their diverse backgrounds. Soup aficionados know that bread is a must as you slurp your way to happiness. Zavoral and his team will be serving various types of artisan bread daily, as well, including traditional cornbread and cheddar-jalapeño cornbread on the regular.
“It’s good vibes,” said Chris Desseauve, Director of Food & Beverage. “Getting outside in the fresh air beats the stress of the village. It just adds to the friendly and relaxing atmosphere that makes me feel at home.'”
“Come see us, try something new and sneak away.” Chris Desseauve, Director of food and Beverage, Grill on the Gore
The Vail Nordic Center is the perfect place for families looking to experience the outdoors together, without skiing or snowboarding. And Grill on the Gore’s winter soup offerings has something for everyone.
The bison chili, on the menu daily, is a recipe Zavoral has been working on for years. Hailing from Minnesota, where they know soup, he would cook it for his sister’s Girl Scouts troop, tinkering with the recipe each time.
Other soups coming to the rotation include chicken and wild rice (Zavoral’s favorite), chicken noodle, potato leek, Thai curry and many more tasty, hearty meals in a bowl.
Zavoral and his team do their best to make their soups with dietary restrictions in mind. “Come see us, try something new and sneak away,” Desseauve said. “It’s just an awesome place to be.”
The city’s economic development corporation
announced Monday that it’s seeking proposals to turn two city-owned properties into affordable and attainable housing
We apologize, but this video has failed to load.Try refreshing your browser, ortap here to see other videos from our team.Play VideoArticle contentThe two properties – located at 161 East Gore St
– were identified by the Housing Consortium team led by Kendra Fry
who was hired by investStratford as a housing specialist last July
“We’re trying to make use of surplus city-owned spaces
of which we do not have very many,” Fry said
“It’s taken us a few months to assess the surplus city-owned spaces that we have
and to come to decisions about the best ways in which to gather the most innovative approaches to creating the most affordable and attainable housing for the City of Stratford with the little bits of land we have
“We know we don’t have a lot to work with here.”
investStratford outlined four goals its hoping to achieve with these projects
There are several different ideas that could be welcome for the two sites
It’s really up to the proponents to look at the standards that we’ve set for what we wish to achieve
which is the most affordable and attainable housing at the fastest possible speed with the highest possible environmental standards,” she added
The city intends to provide the successful bidder with the land at little to no cost or by reaching a land-lease agreement
While the request for expression of interest indicated a rough maximum of a dozen units for the Coriano Street site
it does not have specifics for East Gore Street
investStratford is aiming for the project to be completed at Gore Street within two-and-a-half years and at Coriano Street within three-and-a-half years
“I’m just excited for this motion as Stratford gets some new opportunities to build affordable and attainable housing
I love the team approach that has come from the municipality in identifying these sites and in preparing to get to this point
and I really look forward to seeing some exciting proponents come forward,” Fry said

the pupil has not moved far from the school
Last week Mrs Turnbull was welcomed with a mihi whakatau to East Gore School where she started school as a 10-year-old and is now the principal
It is not the first time Mrs Turnbull has worked at the school
She joined the staff as assistant principal in 2004 and several years later became the deputy principal
In 2013 she left to take up the role of deputy principal at Mataura School where she stayed for five years before becoming a resource teacher of learning and behaviour
Even though she had been away for 11 years
she still had a strong connection to the east Gore community
She had taught some of the parents of children at the school in her first year teaching at Longford Intermediate
"It’s been absolutely lovely reconnecting."
She liked to tell the children she had been in the same class as their parents which was true even though she had been the teacher
She had very fond memories of her time at the school
both for myself and the teachers and the community."

Ms Kitto left at the end of the school year and will become Myross Bush School principal next year
When she was saw the Myross Bush position advertised she sensed the time was right to leave East Gore
She always kept the words of former East Gore principal Wes Gentle in the back of her mind
He said in his farewell speech that 10 years leading a school was long enough
at 190 ,was nearly double that of East Gore
Ms Kitto came to the school in 2003 near the start of her teaching career
"I’ve basically taught every year level at the school."
She spent about seven years teaching new entrants which was her favourite age group
"They’re like little sponges and then when they get something they just light up with excitement."
She moved up the leadership positions in the school before becoming the principal in 2014
She had stayed so long because East Gore was an enjoyable place to work
There were many highlights including the ways the physical space had been improved with a new playground and rugby posts
"Our academic achievement is sitting really well."
The culture of the school was also different
"Our students are really accepting of everybody who comes into our school
Staff had completed a Play is the Way training programme in 2020
The principles of that programme encouraged school community members to treat each other the way they would like to be treated
Integrity was also an important aspect of the programme
"Doing the right thing because its the right thing to do even if nobody is looking."
She was proud to be leaving the school in good heart
She would continue to live in Gore and take her dog Lucy for walks
The pupils visited a display of tractors organised by parent Sam Duthie
The 11 tractors ranged in age from a 1945 McCormick Deering W6 to the latest models
Teacher Treana Morton said the pupils had been learning about farming and how it had changed over the years
The tractor display was one example of how equipment had changed
The pupils were able to examine the tractors close up and sit in the cabs
"If we’d gone to a farm we probably wouldn’t see this range of tractors."
It was a more authentic way for the children to learn
For some of the children it was the first time they had been close to a tractor
Aylissa Wilson said she was surprised by the number of buttons the new tractors had in comparison with the old
Javanee Ramage said she found it interesting how people still owned tractors from the "olden days"
"I’ve noticed the brands have changed and the wheels have changed a lot."
Kainga Ora plans to build 24 homes on the land
which previously was the home of the Longford Tavern and the Gore Country Music Club
The tavern was demolished earlier this year
Kainga Ora Otago-Southland and Southland regional director Kerrie Young said the homes would be a mix of sizes and designs
"The proposed plan is for some of the new homes to meet full universal design standards
meaning they can be adapted to be accessible for people of all abilities
While the council was processing the consent
Kainga Ora had started to talk to neighbours and visited East Gore School to speak about the project
Last week a drop-in session was held for about 30 neighbours whose properties adjoin or are close to the site
"Those there appreciated the opportunity to speak with a range of Kainga Ora staff
who were on hand to answer any questions people had about the development."
Once the consenting process was finished the group was looking forward to sharing the finalised plans for the site with the wider Gore community
The PlaceMakers' premises at 10 Fairfield St
Pent-up demand for quality commercial property in Otago and Southland has increased interest in a PlaceMakers premises that's for sale in Gore
large-format retail and trade store has excellent investment fundamentals
It sits upon a 3813sq m site — spanning five-titles adjoining the Gore Town Centre — the second-largest town in the Southland
listed national tenant that has operated from the location since the 1980s; and it has been substantially expanded and strengthened over time to meet the needs of the tenant and statutory requirements
The property is to be auctioned at 11am on March 7
and Simpson expects strong interest from both local and national investors
"Our region's commercial property market has had limited opportunities of this quality and price range in recent times
making this a great chance to secure a top-notch
"The property had a rateable value as at 2016 of $1.7m and was built for PlaceMakers in the 1980s
"It has since been substantially expanded and strengthened over time to meet both the needs of the tenant and statutory requirements
"The tenant's ongoing commitment to the site is backed by a lease earning $108,838 plus GST in net annual rent
"Three-yearly rent reviews are indexed to the lower of CPI [Consumer Price Index] or market rent
with the next review due on renewal in October 2021
which spans five freehold titles at 10 Fairfield St and 6 Medway St
is in the centre of Gore's main commercial district
"The quality mix of surrounding retailers includes The Warehouse
Regional Ford and Guthrie Bowron," Simpson says
The property comprises a flexibly configured 1261sq m building providing a 450sq m retail showroom fronting Fairfield St
plus an adjoining 727sq m warehouse that serves as a bulk trade store
supported by a substantial secure yard with good vehicle and customer access
The warehouse has a stud height of about 6m
allowing for drive-through truck access from the yard through to Fairfield St
It includes about 84sq m of partitioned offices with a mezzanine floor above that has around 38sq m of storage and a 32sq m office and staffroom
The fully security-fenced yard of about 2500sq m sits behind the main building
with a frontage to Medway Stgiving dual entry and exit access
in addition to the drive-through bulk retail exit
The building was originally constructed in 1982
with bulk store and retail additions in 2004
An initial seismic assessment in 2013 found the building met 78 per cent of new building standards (NBS)
Additional strengthening works were completed by the current owners in 2015
is the retail arm of Fletcher Building Ltd
PlaceMakers is New Zealand's largest supplier of building materials and hardware
with more than 74,000 product lines and eight manufacturing plants nationwide supplying frames and trusses
Each of its 61 stores — located from Kaitaia to Invercargill — is a joint venture with a local business partner
The company employs more than 2,100 people and serves over 300,000 customers
Colliers' Rory O'Donnell says the property's Commercial zoning under the Gore District Council District Plan allows for a wide range of activities
O'Donnell says Gore provides a vital link in the Southland economy as the second-largest town in the region and is a drawcard for many with its combination of culture and heritage
and its range of modern facilities and amenities
with most of its population of some 7000 residents living on the Western side of the river
A further 5000 people live in the wider district."
Gore also services the surrounding farming communities
with the nearest major centre being Invercargill 64km to the Southwest
"The property provides a very functional base for the tenants
but equally provides flexibility for a future change of use or reconfiguration of the site should the needs arise
This is often hard to find in the regional commercial market," O'Donnell says

Residents of low-lying areas of Gore and Mataura are being evacuated as river levels rise and people in a third Southland town
Teams of police went door to door this morning to ensure people were leaving
Large swathes of farmland were under water and state highways in the area are closed
and the main bridge over the Mataura River in Gore is closed to all but emergency services
Police were also helping evacuate people in Mataura
At 5.30am the Mataura River was 4.3m above normal levels at Gore and 6.5m above normal just south of Mataura
Large swathes of farmland were under water and many roads are impassable
Southland civil defence officials told people in low-lying areas of the towns to leave their homes and go to friends and family on higher ground or to community hubs set up for evacuees in both towns
The community centres in Gore filled up this morning and residents were being sent to Gore High School
Wyndham was likely to flood this afternoon and residents should go towards higher ground at Mokoreta
Riversdale residents were put on standby to leave their homes if required
Southland Civil Defence Emergency Management Group chair Neville Cook said it could be several days before rivers in the area returned to normal
Pets can be taken to the Waimumu Field Days site
"Please don't try and drive in the flooded areas because we suspect in some areas roads will be washed out and the water will be contaminated
The police and the armed services and fire and various other groups are assisting with the evacuation."
Floodwaters were due to peak about 8.30am in the Gore area and at 10.30 at Mataura
"These peaks may last for a while - it's not going to be a five-minute thing."
Gore Mayor Tracy Hicks said some houses were being sandbagged in anticipation of flooding
"I've lived here for a long time and I can't recall constant rain like we've had in the last three days," she said yesterday
Clutha District mayor Bryan Cadogan said the Clutha River breached at Invertiel
which meant there was no safe passage to the Catlins
He said at least 40 people spent the night at an emergency shelter at the Balclutha recreation centre
Many were South Otago fans of Elton John returning home after his concert in Dunedin
Three state highways and almost 50 local roads in the Clutha District are closed
The local council said people had been ignoring closure signs and driving through the floodwaters and warned any damage to cars from driving on closed roads would not be covered by insurance

She said the town was without power and roads in the area would remain closed till late this afternoon
Hundreds of people trapped by flooding and slips in Milford Sound overnight are being evacuated by helicopters to Te Anau this morning
Emergency Management Southland controller Angus McKay said the rescue of the 495 trampers
local residents and staff began at first light
They had stayed at Mitre Peak lodge last night
The road to Queenstown is blocked and likely to remain so all day
so evacuees may be flown to Queenstoen from Te Anau Airport
Guests from four luxury lodges in Fiordland were being airlifted to Glenorchy to relieve the pressure on Te Anau
said the company has had 130 clients and staff trapped at lodges in the Milford area

So he was pleased to announce yesterday the council was putting the Matai Ridge subdivision back on the market
looking to fill a substantial gap in the town’s housing and land markets
It is a re-start for the project which was shelved three years ago
The council and southern construction company Wilson Contractors (2003) Ltd have entered into a joint venture which will lead to 35 sections developed on the East Gore site
The first 15 sections are being released tomorrow by First National Gore
Mr Hicks said it was good news for the district
"We just had to get it over the line and provide some welcome relief to people looking to buy sections to build in Gore
what is going to be done in the property market
how can we help those who want to come to Gore and live here
"Then you talk to the large employers — they have people who want to move down here but can’t find a place to live."
The council bought the 3.6ha of land in March 2017 for $360,000
It was formerly owned by United States retired dentist and developer Dr Jack Phillips
The council put the project on hold in 2018
The time was right now for it to come back on to the market
First National Gore directors Graham and Tara Maxwell said the sections would range in value
Mr Maxwell said the town had been waiting for a purpose-built subdivision to come on the market
"We have got people wanting to get in and buy a section
"It is hard to get housing in Gore and find a section which will have services," he said
He said that in 2018 the market had been more subdued with an average price of a house between $220,000-$230,000
Mrs Maxwell said there would be various prices for the different sections
The council’s contribution to the project to date is $1.15million
Council chief executive Stephen Parry said Wilson Contractors had been a keen tenderer throughout the history of the subdivision
"We bring to the table the market value of the land
resource consent and marketing among other things."
revenue would be shared in proportion to the financial contribution of each party

An overhead view of King Street East/Gore Park in the 1940s
An article in The Hamilton Spectator in June 1924 describes fire ripping through buildings on the south side of King Street East
years after being designated worthy of heritage protection by the City of Hamilton
set up his business that he called the China Palace
The Honey Dew restaurant was a popular fixture in the buildings at 18-22 King St
city council voted to preserve the structures under heritage legislation
about one year after city council voted to preserve them under heritage legislation
Work was underway Friday afternoon to demolish the fourth and last Gore heritage building along King Street East
A pair of heritage buildings at Gore Park collapsed on Remembrance Day
Two others in the row were then demolished
A 'fur vault,' Honey Dew cafe and wartime canteen among the signposts of the Gore buildings' history
A ‘fur vault,’ Honey Dew cafe and wartime canteen among the signposts of the Gore buildings’ history
“Flaming skyward while lightning flashed and rain fell in torrents
fire midnight devastated buildings on the south side of King Street
between James and Hughson Street … Hungry tongues of flame eating their way along the wooden roofs and partitions till the spectacle of destruction became truly terrifying.”
No, the recent Remembrance Day collapse of heritage buildings on King Street East across from Gore Park was not the first time the venerable edifices met disaster
The quote above is from a story splashed across the front page of The Hamilton Spectator June 21
the buildings and businesses rose from the ashes and found new life
but it’s unclear what will happen on the site in 2025 and beyond
city council had voted to protect 18-22 and 24-28 King St
from demolition under Ontario heritage legislation
The three or four buildings — one pair had been essentially structurally fused over the years — had long been boarded up amid stalled redevelopment plans
But much history came tumbling down with the stone and brick onto the promenade below on Nov
Here is a snapshot of the past lives of the buildings, drawn from sources including Hamilton Spectator archives and documents at the Local History and Archives at the Hamilton Public Library
Current owner Hughson Business Space Corporation
Architecture Structurally two buildings, designed by Englishman William Thomas
considered a founding father in Canadian architecture
and who from 1843-1860 built more than 100 buildings in Ontario
Paul’s church on James Street South across from the YMCA
the buildings had Scottish “austere and functional design
yet was grander and more urbane than local brick versions so prevalent in the 1840s … with fine rusticated stonework decorating the upper storeys.” The source of the stone was Ontario Whirlpool sandstone
volunteers with the Hamilton Citizens’ Committee for War Services established a canteen on the second floor
for soldiers in Hamilton training for service in the Second World War
“taking advantage of the fun and comfort offered by the games room
attendance at the canteen had been more than 720,000 soldiers
Current owner Hughson Business Space Corporation
Designed in Victorian style with vertical brick coursing
metal hood mouldings and a metal cornice (horizontal decorative moulding.)
a crockery merchant who had opened his business called China Palace there in 1850
Skinner was the largest shipper of crockery and glassware to Manitoba
adding tripartite windows (also called Venetian windows) on the second and third storeys
Minden Ladies Wear operated until fire shut it down
Noteworthy In 2016, 24 and 28 King St. E. were buildings included in the National Trust for Canada list of Top 10 Most Endangered Buildings
that noted: “Together they help define the character of Gore Park and are considered by many to be integral to the area’s rejuvenation.”
Architecture Architect unknown; Victorian design but less elaborate than neighbouring buildings
Glassco & Sons to house their furrier company that had first opened in 1843 further east along King
when the business reopened it featured a state-of-the-art cold storage “fur vault,” the first of its kind in Canada
Other businesses on site in the 1920s included a hair dresser
Howell and Son furriers were there from 1960-1974 and South Side Men’s Clothing from the early 1980s to the early 2000s
Noteworthy The 1924 fire caused $250,000 damage
or about $4.5 million in 2024 Canadian dollars
The Spectator reported: “The sky was illuminated by the glare from the flames
and a huge pillar of smoke rolled and twisted upward in red-tinged billows of white.”

With the department’s dedication to research and education in food and agriculture
it was missing one key ingredient: a kitchen
They devised a plan to transform a storage space at 4101 Beryl Rd
into a state-of-the-art teaching and research kitchen complex
a place that could be a hub for observational research studies
Geri Bushel
joined Dunn in spearheading the project. One particularly memorable instance was when they carried a large refrigerator through the construction zone
Bushel states that “It brings me sheer joy to enter the Dinah E
Carolyn Dunn’s Pantry is in clear view. She made it happen and this honor is well deserved.” The innovative kitchen complex’s philosophy is that the best way to learn to cook is by being in the kitchen
cooking and that everyone can learn to cook delicious
Catherine Hill
Dunn’s vision of building a teaching and research kitchen became a reality due to her infectious passion and hard work
I can think of no better way to honor her extraordinary career than with a named space in the very kitchen complex she helped create.” Current department head Chapman
said “The products of Carolyn Dunn’s career are so much more than the impactful programs
publications and leadership she has provided in the areas of food
nutrition and family & consumer sciences
Her true legacy is the passion she continues to bring to our department whether it’s mentoring faculty
creating cutting-edge spaces or being an advocate for the health and wellbeing of the families of North Carolina.”
Gore Teaching and Research Kitchens is the most significant project of my career at NC State
To have my name on the pantry is beyond anything I could have ever dreamed
I am filled with gratitude and joy and thank everyone who helped make this happen.” She has so many fond memories in the kitchen from the building process to current day work in the space developing recipes and teaching
Her fondest memory to date has to be opening night on February 1
“Seeing Dinah Gore cut the ribbon and everyone who made the kitchen possible enter the space in awe is something I will never forget
Everyone was so proud of what they had made happen with their vision and commitment” says Dunn
it’s fitting that the last named space is dedicated to her
“When thinking about the best way to honor Carolyn’s contribution to our department
NC State extension and the university community
there was no question that naming a space in our kitchens was the ideal way to recognize her impacts and importance.” says Chapman

Chart Communications Inc.5255 Yonge Street
high-rise community with seven towers ranging up to 43 storeys
The application looks to bring greater height and density to this northwestern pocket of the Greater Toronto Area
An aerial view looking northeast to 4400 Queen Street East
designed by Turner Fleischer Architects for TACC Construction and HBNG Holborn Group
Located on the east side of The Gore Road and north of Queen Street East
this expansive parcel is surrounded by a diverse mix of land uses: to the north
low-rise residential developments are under construction
alongside a neighbourhood park and stormwater management facilities
the site borders valleylands included in the West Humber River natural heritage system
a combination of vacant lands and established employment uses are found
alongside existing residential and rural residential settings
Across The Gore Road to the west is a retail plaza
An aerial view of the site and surrounding area
An application for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments calls for four buildings with seven high-rise towers encircling the site
they would collectively add 2,461 residential units to the area
The development is planned across four phases
starting with the 25- and 33-storey towers at the southwest corner
Each phase includes two towers connected by podiums ranging from one to seven storeys
except for the singular 43-storey tower of Phase 3
There would be approximately 3,722m² of indoor and 2,500m² of outdoor amenities
primarily found within the podiums and central to the buildings
There would be three to four elevators per tower
with an overall ratio of approximately one elevator for every 90 units
especially in comparison to numerous other high-rises in the GTA
The design includes three levels of underground parking in addition to at-grade layby parking
offering a significant total of 1,959 parking spaces
with 352 designated for visitors and retail
Bicycle parking would be limited in comparison
with 106 long-term and 380 short-term residential bicycle parking spaces proposed
and an additional 44 long-term spaces for retail
The ground floor along The Gore Road and Queen Street East would host 3,249m² of retail space
positioned within the first three storeys of the podium fronting Queen Street East
The total Gross Floor Area (GFA) for the development would be approximately 173,874m²
The site is located within The Gore Major Transit Station Area (MTSA)
including two express ZÜM bus services operated by Brampton Transit
these routes link directly to York University
as well as TTC subway stations and Mississauga City Centre
Cyclists have direct access to Brampton’s extensive trail network
with a multi-use pathway on Queen Street East connecting to regional trails in Vaughan and the Claireville Conservation area
the Queen Street corridor is under a study for an upcoming Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service
The application notes the implementation of the BRT is anticipated before 2029
Looking southwest to 4400 Queen Street East
marking another high-rise addition to this growing corridor
UrbanToronto will continue to follow progress on this development

Lois Gore at work in her East Hampton studio
Tools ready to be put to use in Lois Gore's workspace
The ring Lois Gore created for Rosanne Cash
All the gold on Earth was made when two neutron stars collided
You could also say when binary neutron stars merged
but “a merger” doesn’t begin to express the nuclear power of dying stars
when stars 10 times larger than the sun explode
the cosmic particles fell to the Earth’s core before the dawn of time
hot springs and geysers through cracks and fissures
Goldsmith Lois Gore took a book off a warped shelf in her East Hampton home and read from a page of “The Life of Benvenuto Cellini.”
“Gold is the most exquisite material on the planet,” she said
Some might say a flower but I don’t think so.”
Gore is as smitten with the heavy metal as the famous Italian goldsmith
She has just finished a stunning ring for the Grammy Award-winning singer
“You don’t usually see rings this big,” she said
family heirlooms from her personal collection
which she wanted to reset in a ring for herself
Almost a full ounce of the precious metal was used to create the three-quarter inch wide
yellow gold ring with four bezel-set diamonds with half-round wire and granulation in an ancient Byzantine style
“Traditional jewelry is made with a center stone but Rosanne wanted to stay away from that look,” the jeweler said
and one emerald cut diamonds were divided equally on either side of the center
“The ring goes all the way up to the knuckle.”
When you put 80 hours into a piece of jewelry like Gore has
“There’s a warmth to it that you don’t get with cast jewelry and CAD (Computer Aided Design software) jewelry,” she said
Gore is trying to keep ancient jewelry making techniques alive
The gold is alloyed from 24 karat gold to 22 karat gold.”
Tiny amounts of fine silver and pure copper are added to create the 22-karat gold she solely works with
it was very close to 22-karat gold,” she said
The gold is rolled into sheets and pulled into wire by hand
“It’s a constant process of heating metal and manipulating until its work hardened crystal structure has shifted,” she said
“You want to realign the crystal structure.”
Manipulating gold by hand is strenuous work with a lot of up and down
Just watching her pound a thin band of gold on a ring mandrel with a wooden dowel makes one break out in a sweat
Or maybe it’s the flame she used to melt gold nuggets over hot coals
“Watching gold melt never gets old,” she said
Only 10 percent of the jewelry industry is handmade and because of the time-consuming nature
there’s not a lot of profit in the small niche
“You do it because you love it,” Gore said
“It has a certain quality you just don’t see in mass production
but she went through several transformations before finding an art she could live with forever
She grew up in West Hempstead on Long Island
“My mom was a teacher and my father worked for Pfizer as a die maker
was a well-known monument maker and a great inspiration for Gore
she started with softer materials on a sewing machine at age five
Doll clothes morphed into clothing for herself
Gore took art courses at Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT)
Rhode Island School of Design and eventually formed her own handbag company
Each bag was handmade and each clasp was like a piece of jewelry
I went back to FIT to learn jewelry arts,” she said
“I studied with Jeanette Caines who focused on keeping ancient jewelry techniques alive.”
She later found her mentor in master goldsmith Louise Parrish at the Jewelry Arts Institute in Manhattan
Gore is also a Gemological Institute of America Graduate Gemologist
created in the Earth from carbon under tremendous pressure and heat
It cannot be recreated through alchemy or chemistry and is one of the strongest
“There’s something so special about gold,” she said
Aside from handcrafting jewelry for one client at a time
They usually start off with a flush set sapphire
“Teaching workshops allows me to share skills the student can take on to the next generation,” she said
“Three students have gone on to launch their own careers.”
Keeping a dying art alive is what keeps Gore going
“I appreciate that I made a ring this high,” she said of Cash’s ring
Hampton Gem pricing starts at $6,500 for custom work and Gore cannot guarantee a time frame
“It’s a blessing and a curse to be creative,” she said

The Carmelites closed their Carmel of the Holy Family Monastery on East Gore Road in Erie on Tuesday, the Catholic Diocese of Erie announced
contemplative community of nuns in the Catholic Diocese of Erie
The closing was in response to new Vatican norms for contemplative communities
The norms require that communities with fewer than six members close or affiliate with a larger
There were just three sisters living at the local monastery
and the affiliated Carmelite Monastery of Rochester
will determine what to do with the property. Any remaining monastery resources will support the three sisters in their new communities
The Carmel of the Holy Family Monastery was established in 1957 at the invitation of Archbishop John Mark Gannon

BRECKENRIDGE — Teague Holmes estimates it was six years ago when he first spotted a particular 1,500-foot ski line in the shape of a skinny “S” on one of the most impressive peaks in the untamed Gore Range here in Summit County
“But it seemed like a remote dream — just nuts,” Holmes said
“Like we would never have the snow to ski it
About 100 to 150 feet below the 13,333-foot summit of East Thorn resides a line dubbed Epine D’argent
by “staying curious.” Living in the mountains around Summit County — sometimes running them
sometimes skiing them and sometimes paragliding them — Holmes looks at skiing in the Rockies as an almost never-ending story
On days when he goes out to ski with buds like Chris Baldwin and Jason Kilgore
Holmes and company always keep an eye out for the latest changes on familiar skiing terrain
always examining the next potential adventure
moving through the mountains with your eyes wide open
Baldwin and Kilgore were out for a day tour in the Gore Range
Holmes said the crew dubbed that adventure the Precipitation Traverse
as they hit several mountains named after precipitation
“We were gaining Rain (Peak) early in the morning,” Holmes said
‘No way!’ I hadn’t thought of that line on East Thorn in years
There are all of these lines all over the region here — and country and state and world — that I’ve looked at
Some you have noted and others you forget until you see them again
avid backcountry skiers like Holmes conducted daily research and information gathering
gauging a persistent weak snowpack into March
Then came March’s historic avalanche cycle
which delayed what Holmes describes as the true beginning of ski season for avid backcountry skiers like him
But once the snow from March’s big storms settled
Holmes and friends like Kilgore and Baldwin continued to stay curious about when they could ski certain high-Alpine spots
After he and Baldwin skied East Thorn in early April
the ski season evolved into May’s lower-than-usual temperatures and consistent cloud cover
which kept the high-Alpine skiing prime into late June
with Holmes and friends riding powder on Grizzly Peak between Loveland Pass and Torreys Peak
But it was the Epine D’argent line in early April that Holmes will remember as the climax of this season
Accessing the line and continuing through it took some serious winter mountaineering
he and Baldwin even had to “dry ski.”
you get to a spot that doesn’t have enough snow to turn or fit through or ski,” Holmes said
just like you down climb with your hands and feet when you are rock climbing
And so there are kind of even different techniques — you put your back against the wall
now you can fit through with some chimney moves.”
Holmes and Baldwin gained on the knife’s edge ridge to the top of East Thorn
a spot no one had quite skied the same way before
Holmes said avid Gore Range skier David Delamora skied this same Epine D’argent line many years ago
though not from the same exposed location on the summit ridge
Scrambling at times on Class III and Class IV terrain
Holmes and Baldwin soon saw the early April snow on East Thorn was still really good
After down climbing 100 to 150 feet from the summit
Baldwin took an exposed entry from high on the ridge while Holmes skied a different entry along the ridge
Holmes rejoined Baldwin at the same spot where Delamora skied the Epine D’argent all those years ago
“It was mostly really technical,” Holmes said about the line
“There was one mid-section where I could open it up and stay ahead of my sluff
there is no self-arresting with all of these rock chokes and a huge cliff
So it was fun to be confident in the snow conditions
be confident in the skiability and charge down that one section and totally free ride and stay ahead of the sluff.”
The technicality of portions of the Epine D’argent line reminded the globe-trotting Holmes of some of the most memorable lines he’s ever skied
“There’s some sections of that line,” Holmes said
I felt it was steep — steeper than anything I’ve skied in Summit County by a long shot — more exposed
That line had me on point more than any line I’ve ever skied in Summit County
The only thing I’ve ever skied that made me feel like that is in the Tetons or in the Alps.”
‘It’s not fear; it’s awareness,’ and it causes you to be focused or safe or whatever
I think there’s lots of different ways to think about it
but we are in positions that are startling sometimes
