Words for a Mountain by Richard Kent is a collection of essays,
poems, and photographs that celebrate a small-town ski area, its
community, and a way of life in the wintertime. In the late 1800's,
Scandinavian papermakers introduced skiing to western Maine's River
Valley around the towns of Rumford and Mexico. In 1960, the
venerable Chisholm Ski Club purchased Black Mountain to create
Chisholm Winter Ski Park. The ski area at Black Mountain has
undergone several name changes and ownership agreements, but
through good times and lean times, this mountain has always
reflected the spirit of community and a love affair with winter
sports. In 2013, Black Mountain lost funding and faced closure.
When word spread, the Mountain's faithful, from local neighborhoods
and around the world, rallied to raise enough money keep the
community area open for the next season. *Profits from the sale of
this book support Black Mountain.*

There are approximately one hundred eighty eight words in the
English language that have another way of spelling the word,
different meanings, and are pronounced identically the same to its
counter part or counter parts. This is why so many individuals who
have English as their second language can really become confused.
Then there are about twenty two words that are spelled exactly the
same, yet pronounced differently and also have different meanings.
Should a writer scribe "dove," is that person implying a noun, or a
verb? This publication addresses this issue. The some 188 words are
displayed with their counter part or parts including a definition
of each and inserted into a sentence that uses these same
pronounced words. Hopefully this work will help the many who are
somewhat confused when reading the English language, or trying to
convey a thought that makes sense to someone who is very
knowledgeable of the English language. There is a lot of humor and
instructors who use this book will see the humor in it and will
allow their imagination to take over for expanding definitions.
Thus, allowing the student to walk away less confused and more
confident.
UConn was a fledging women's basketball program that had been to
one Final Four as of 1995. Tennessee was the king of the hill
having won 7 National Championships and having produced some of the
greatest women's players of all time. Pat Summitt was and is the
head coach and is widely considered to be one of the top coaches in
women's or men's college basketball history. In fact, she turned
down the Tennessee head men's coaching job. She agreed to play Geno
Auriemma and UConn in 1995 in an epic battle in Storrs, CT. UConn
won that game and won the National Championship that year and off
and running was the series. It has produced as much if not more
drama than Red Sox-Yankees, Cowboys-Giants and Knicks-Celtics. It
has been compared to Carolina-Duke on the men's side. It is
certainly produced more National Championships than both of those
schools.
"What Duke and North Carolina represent in men's college
basketball, UConn and Tennessee represent in women's college
basketball, the greatest rivalry in the game. Two teams that when
pinned against one another in 1995 for the National Championship
changed the sport of women's college basketball forever. The cast
of characters from the polarized Hall of Fame coaches to the
all-American icons have raised the bar, the talent and the media
awareness at the national level. Although the characters change
from year to year, the national fever of this matchup continues to
grow. It is an ongoing saga that defines women's basketball and
encapsulates all that is good and possible about athletic
competition. Any young player should read this book and understand
that without these teams, these coaches, these players, we would be
watching women's basketball exclusively in March at the Final
Four." Colleen Healey, former UConn women's basketball player.
