The Maine drought is officially over, according to maps on the National Drought Mitigation Center’s website (www.drought.unl.edu). Thanks to early August’s consistently rainy weather, the majority of the state has been upgraded from “D1 Drought-Moderate” to “Abnormally Dry.”... [Dan Piano reports on the Deerfield Riverfest]: “Once again American Whitewater put together a hell of a good time at this year's Deerfield River Festival. The weather worked out and the competitions went off with out a hitch. Jim Sullivan won the Dragon's Tooth Rodeo once again, followed by Mark "Chopper" Cecchini in second place and John Kennedy in third. Jim pulled it off once again by flawlessly pulling together a smooth combination of moves. One such move to be noted was the cartwheels he threw in the "death slot" hole. In the Women's Dragon's Tooth Rodeo, Kim Seaman took first with Elaine Trahan taking second. In the Boater Cross, Fergus Coffey took first, followed by Cecchini and Richard Stokes . And in the Ruler of the Gap competition Barry Jasper took home first followed by the mighty Charles Kennedy and Mike Brindamour. In addition, there were throw bag contests, free beer for AW members, and some quality games of Nails. The fest also had a premier of Lunch Video Magazine's new issue as well as Paddlefest 2k2 NZED. Every year the fest get better and better, hope to see you there next year.” For more info on the fest check out www.americanwhitewater.org/events/...
