Safety projectengineers presentRoute 28 findingsBY BRENDAN BERUBE

Staff Writer

PITTSFIELD — Mem-bers of the Route 28 ProjectAdvisory Committee (PAC),formed earlier this year tospearhead a safety audit ofseveral intersections alongthe long-neglected statehighway, gathered at Pitts-field’s Town Hall on July 30to view the results of a safe-ty analysis recently com-pleted by the engineeringfirm of Vanasse HangenBrustlin (VHB).

Originally formed inFebruary as part of a grant-funded joint venture be-tween the Lakes Region and

Central New Hampshire Re-gional Planning Commis-sions (LRPC and CNHRPC,respectively), the PAC (com-prised of public officialsand volunteers from thetowns of Alton, Barnstead,Pittsfield, Chichester andEpsom) was tasked with de-veloping a strategic plan forimproving safety along theRoute 28 corridor.

The planning commis-sions hope that having allfive communities work to-gether to create a plan willgo a long way toward secur-ing state and federal fund-ing for future improve-ments.

Craig Tufts of theCNHRPC opened lastweek’s meeting with a briefexplanation of the land userecommendations proposedby the CNHRPC as a meansof managing developmentand the resultant increasein traffic along the corridor.

With a considerableamount of space availablealong Route 28 for new de-velopment, he said, themanner in which the devel-opment takes place withhave a profound impact onpublic safety, most notablywith regard to the numberof access points on the high-way and where they are sit-uated.

Since any developmentwill have implications fordrivers traveling along thecorridor, Tufts explained,the chance to effectivelymanage future growth willprovide all five communi-ties with an opportunity to“plan for … and shape whatmight come.”

Identifying access man-agement as the key issue incontrolling new develop-ment, Tufts urged localplanning boards to turn tothe “Innovative Land UseHandbook” created by theCNHRPC and the state De-partment of Transporta-tion (DOT) as a model forimproving subdivision andsite plan regulations per-taining to curb cuts and ac-cess points.

Tufts also suggested thatlocal communities consideradopting new zoning ordi-nances regulating lighting,landscaping, and signage(in view of the fact that tem-porary signs, such as thosefor real estate, have becomea sight line issue in recentyears).

If communities along thecorridor decide that theywant to preserve the wood-ed areas and open fields cur-rently visible at the sides ofthe highway, he said, “clus-ter” or “nodal” develop-ment (which enables landuse boards to concentratedevelopment within a cer-tain area) might be an op-tion worth considering, asopposed to traditional“strip” development, whichallows for sprawl.

Another key aspect ofmanaging growth along thecorridor, Tufts said, will bethe five towns working to-gether to develop a cohesivevision of what they want

Rising from the ashes:

New Pavilion opens its doorsBY BRENDAN BERUBE

Staff Writer

ALTON — In the mainhallway of the rebuilt Win-nipesaukee Pavilion, thererests a battered carrying casecontaining an antique pair of roller skates once worn by “Buzz,” the beloved secu-rity guard who kept orderwhen the skating rink at the original pavilion was apopular hang-out for localyoungsters.

Grinning as he recalledthe number of times Buzzchased him around the build-

ing on those very skateswhen he was a child, LeeMaserian said his memoriesof the pavilion, and those ofgenerations of Alton resi-dents who experienced it asfirst a dance hall and later aroller skating rink andrestaurant, gave him thestrength to undertake a re-construction of the land-mark after the original build-ing burned to the ground ina devastating fire in Decem-ber of 2006.

“It’s been a long haul,”Maserian said as he conduct-

ed The Baysider on a tour ofthe new building on themorning of July 30.

Describing the new Pavil-ion as “a historic recreationwith all the benefits of newconstruction,” he explainedthat the building will houseseven luxury condomini-ums, complete with boatslips, along with a trio of newbusinesses: Jus’ Chillin,’ asandwich shop specializingin all-natural fruit smoothiesoperated by his son anddaughter (who he said areplanning to put the profits to-

ward their college tuitionbills); the WinnipesaukeeCigar Co.; and his own firm,Master’s Design and Devel-opment LLC.

That mix of commercialand residential use, he said,is the culmination of a vi-sion he had for the Pavilionwhen he purchased it fouryears ago from its previousowners, the Hoyts, who op-erated the roller skating rinkand Bluegrass-themedrestaurant.

Originally built in 1928,the Bay View Pavilion beganits existence as a dance hallwhere residents jitterbuggedand swung to the likes ofTommy Dorsey, Count Basie,and Wayne King, the self-pro-claimed “Waltz King,”throughout the Big Band eraof the 1930s and early 1940s.

Committee discusses recruiting parents for PR effortBY BRENDAN BERUBE

Staff Writer

ALTON — With pressuremounting for it to begin pro-moting any potential War-rant articles it might have inmind for 2010, the AltonSchool Board’s Buildings andGrounds Committee dis-cussed how best to get theword out to the public duringits July 29 meeting.

Committee memberSheila Rapalje suggested thatthe “room parents” in pri-mary classrooms might be agood place to start a public re-lations push.

“They can really sell theidea of what we need to do[with the building],” she said.

School board ChairwomanTerri Noyes agreed, addingthat she had spoken with sev-eral room parents who toldher they weren’t interested ina “bubble gum and duct tape”solution to the Alton CentralSchool’s space issues.

The biggest question onher mind, she said, waswhether or not teachers wereon board with renovating theexisting building.

She heard recently, shesaid, that there were “grum-blings” within the buildingfrom teachers and other staffmembers who were openlyopposed to renovating be-cause they wanted a new fa-cility in which to work.

Teacher and committeemember Pati True explainedthat the faculty wants to seesomething done, but might

need to see a visual of whatthe plan is in terms of park-ing and potential disruptions(such as noisy equipment) be-fore committing to it fully.

“We can’t go to them with-out something that’s work-able,” Rapalje said in agree-ment.

Architect Chip Krause feltit was important for the com-mittee to reach out to parentsand start a “grass roots” pub-lic relations campaign.

Noyes said the commit-tee’s focus now should be ondeveloping a visual proposalto bring to teachers.

“What is a school on thispiece of property going tolook like?” she asked. “Whydo we need any other [addi-tional] property?”

“We don’t want this to benebulous,” Rapalje added.“It’s got to be…”

“Black and white,” Noyessaid.

Superintendent KathyHolt suggested that the com-mittee let its Public Relationssubcommittee establish atimeline and a plan for whatwill need to be done by cer-tain dates along the path tonext year’s school district de-liberative session.

Principal Bonnie JeanKuras offered to ask teachersin the primary grades to picktwo room parents who theyknow to be particularly activewithin the community.

“We need to figure outwhat we’re putting on theWarrant,” school board mem-

ber Lynda Goossens com-mented, advising the com-mittee that they were alreadylagging behind in terms ofdrafting an article.

The committee, she added,will also need to make surethat it can provide answers tothe questions that arose ear-lier this year about its future

plans.Krause offered to type up

scripted answers to the ques-tions raised about future ren-ovations and provide them tocommittee members, ensur-ing that everyone will be onthe same page.

Rapalje stressed again theimportance of reaching out

to room parents.“If we sell it to the room

parents, they’ll sell it to theothers,” she said.

“I don’t think we can edu-cate people more than we al-ready have, but we’ve got tokeep it going,” Noyes com-mented.

Next meeting

The committee’s nextmeeting has been scheduledfor Wednesday, Aug. 19, at 5p.m. in the middle school li-brary.

ALTON — The bell givento Otis Wirth last month atthe New Hampshire Excel-lence in Education Awardsshines brightly on his shelf.In between thank you cards,plants and Red Sox memora-bilia, the silver commemo-rative affectionately knownas an “ED”ie provides a per-fect backdrop to a career de-voted to the tutelage ofyounger generations.

“I've got the greatest jobin the world,” Wirth saidwhole-heartedly in an inter-view last month.

Named gifted and talent-ed teacher of the year by theNew Hampshire Society forTechnology Education,Wirth, who is entering histhird year as the enrichmentteacher at Alton CentralSchool, has been monumen-tal in incorporating the useof modern day technologyinto his lesson plans.

Pouring over differentvideo and interactive proj-ects that his students havecreated in the past year,Wirth proudly displayed hispupils' work. Showing proj-ects that range in scope fromshort movies to advancedschool newscasts, Wirth ex-plained how his students(from kindergarten toeighth grade) incorporateall aspects of learning intotheir work.

For example, his firstgrade students made shortanimation movies, which re-quired them to construct pa-per figurines and designmovie sets while learninghow to use video editing soft-ware. His third grade stu-dents presented video proj-ects on different weatherphenomenon, which taughtthem valuable research andpublic speaking skills. Hisfourth grade students builtan interactive map of theschool, in which computerusers will be allowed to clickon any part of the buildingand see a photograph of ittaken by the students.

The most complex proj-ect, though, has been theweekly newscast producedby his eighth grade studentsand broadcast throughoutthe school. The newscast re-quires students to write, filmand edit a variety of seg-ments to be compiled intothe show. Using professionalvideo editing software,green screens and sound-boards, the students get in-troduced into the demand-ing field of television pro-duction.

Much of the equipmentthat Wirth's students usecame from a $5,000 grant thathe successfully co-wrotealong with the school's tech-nology director PamMcLeod (who was the personthat nominated Wirth for the

"Ed”ie). The grant helpedthe school to purchase theequipment for the televisionstudio, and train the staff.

Wirth, though, is nonovice in that field. He pre-viously directed the televi-sion studio at Gilford Ele-mentary School, where hespent 20 years as a teacher.

Besides the students en-rolled in his enrichment

classes, Wirth explainedthat the technology is usedby all of the students at theschool. Pointing to lastyear's winter carnival,where students used theequipment to produceschool pride commercials,Wirth said, “It gets used allthe time.”

Looking forward to thenext school year, Wirth said

that he plans on continuingthe eighth grade newscast(which will be an electiveclass) as well as many of theother projects that he has in-troduced. He also said thathe plans on starting a sci-ence oriented televisionshow to be broadcastthroughout the school in co-operation with the school'sscience teachers.

“This is a great place to

work,” he said nodding hisappreciation to principalBonnie Jean Kuras, assis-tant principal Steve Ross,the school board and all ofthe faculty and staff fortheir continued support ofhim and his curriculum.

As for the opportunity tointroduce this technology tothe school and on his recentrecognition, Wirth said, “Icouldn't be more thrilled.”

A long roadahead

The seemingly never-ending battle to solve thespace issues at Alton Central School continuedlast week when the school board’s Building andGrounds Committee met to discuss options asthe summer months wind down.

We are pleased to see that the committee mem-bers are off to an early start on this issue, get-ting things lined up and hopefully in orderbefore the new school year starts. We are surethat this gives the board an advantage, as havinga plan in place prior to the start of the schoolyear allows members the chance to sell theirplan to parents, teachers and staff as early aspossible. We also know that the committee hasbeen looking at options since the votes werecounted in March.

There is no question that Alton Central Schoolis in tough shape and renovations and expan-sions are needed. The school board’s plan to pur-chase the Twombly property off Route 28 to useas ball fields, allowing the school to expand onits current site was narrowly defeated at thepolls in March, leaving the board basically backat square one in determining in which directionto proceed.

We liked the idea of purchasing the Twomblyproperty and said so in this space, but we alsounderstand that the will of the voters didn’tlean in that direction and now the decision hasto be made as to which way to move.

The school board has a tough task ahead ofthem, whichever direction it takes. With a sput-tering economy hurting people’s wallets on aregular basis, paying more taxes is never anappealing option.

However, something needs to be done and wehope that the school board can get a jump on theschool year by presenting its plans to parents,teachers, staff and administrators as the schooldoors open and hopefully get them on board, orif they aren’t on board, find out just what theyare looking for and what solutions they wouldpropose.

The Governor Wentworth Regional SchoolDistrict voters passed a renovation project forthe Kingswood complex last March at about thesame time the Twombly property purchase wasgoing down to defeat. This was at least the thirdattempt by the GWRSD board to get a schoolproject past the voters in the last five or sixyears. To us, it’s passing means that voters willget behind the right plan and are willing to sup-port the school district if those in charge showthat they are moving in the right direction andhave only the best interests of the students inmind.

We hope the school board’s Buildings andGrounds Committee continues to research, dis-cuss and debate the many options that are on thetable regarding Alton Central School. Gettingthe school year off on the right foot by quicklygetting in the door with parents, teachers andstaff is the right way to go about it and we hopethat when this year’s voting day rolls around, awell-crafted plan to deal with the school’s manyissues is on the ballot and voters believe it is theway to go.

We wish the committee members the best ofluck in their search for answers.

To the Editor:At our annual meeting July 25, Locke

Lake Colony elected their new Board ofDirectors. Elected for two-year termswere Mike Joly, Peggy Gingras, JudyCropper and Judy Strachan. They willjoin Joyce Parsons and Danielle Wal-lace whose terms expire next year. Thenew board chose to appoint RoySpraque, Bruce Grey and Rita Wolfe tofill in the three one-year terms. We feelwe now have a strong board and are anx-ious to get started.

However, we have a big problem andonly you can help. After the election of

officers, many of the members left. Be-cause of this we did not have a quorumto complete the meeting and most im-portantly to pass the budget. If thisbudget is not passed, we will have nochoice but to shut everything down. Wewill have no money to continue to keepthe Colony going. This means the pools,the golf course, the tennis court and thelake will be closed. There will be noplowing or road treatment in the winteron Colony roads. The amenities arewhat keep your property values up.This is extremely serious and must betaken as such. Even though you may not

use the amenities, you must realize thatthe lake is the most important amenityto your property value and you certain-ly don't want to lose it. We cannot stressenough the importance of this meeting.

Another meeting is scheduled forAug. 15 at Prospect Mountain HighSchool. Sign in is at 10:30 a.m. and themeeting will start promptly at 11 a.m.Please attend this very important meet-ing.

tional catastrophe unlike anything any-one has ever experienced. Health carereform is nothing but taking over yourprivate life, your personal decisions andcontrolling your lifestyle. Who needs torewrite the U.S. Constitution to make usa socialist society when all Obama hasto do is come in the back door of socalled heath care reform and regulateyour decisions, your money, and the val-ue and quality of your life. If you don'tbelieve me then read it for yourself !

You have a moral obligation to yourown personal life as well as to our na-tion. Reading this bill is staggering tothe mind of any individual who valuestheir freedom. It is a fact they intend tochoose what level health care you get,audit all employers that self-insure in

order to "ensure that the law does notprovide incentives for small and midsized employers to self-insure"(HR 3200sec. 113, pages 21 and 22), determinewhat treatment you get by a governmentcommittee and require a national I.D.healthcare card, which will give the gov-ernment real time access to your fi-nances and they will have direct accessto your bank accounts. If you don't com-ply you will be fined. Fined for wantingto make choices over your own person-al life? Is that freedom to you?

You have enjoyed your freedom andmany of you have fought for American'sfreedom with your blood, sweat, andtears only to have disillusioned, out oftouch radical bureaucrats try to swipeand steal it away with the stroke of theircowardly pen. Did you know that Con-gress and Senators and the President

will be exempt from having the healthcare they are trying to impose on us!Stand up New Hampshire! Stand upAmerica! The crucial battle is nowwhen our congressman and senatorscome home. They'll be home for onemonth for you to attend their town hallmeetings (if they don't, ask for a per-sonal meeting) before they return toWashington where Obama/Pelosi willtwist and manipulate them to get the de-cisions they want out of them. You needto let them know that whatever is of-fered or threatened to them is nothingcompared to them being voted out of of-fice! This will probably be your last op-portunity to impress your representa-tives how important this issue is to you.Socialism or freedom, you choose.

To the Editor:TI would like to apologize to each one

of the members of Locke Lake for notattending any public or non-publicmeetings since March of this year.

As a board member, there are certainrestrictions that limit what is proper toreveal about incidents that happen in anon-public meeting. Since my term isnow completed, I feel there are fewer re-strictions on what I can say to explainwhy I did not attend these meetings.

I can’t give you all the exact details ofwhat happened, but here are some gen-eralities so you might be a little more in-

formed about the path that I chose.A board member committed what I

consider a very serious infraction. Imade a motion to sanction the boardmember. It was seconded, discussed,and then passed.

The board member agreed to all thesanctions. The board member complet-ed part of the sanctions, however theimportant ones were not completed. Af-ter three unsuccessful attempts (overthree meetings), to get the board mem-ber to honor his/her pledge, I found it amatter of principle that I could nolonger partake in any meetings if the

board member was present. You maydisagree with my decision, and I acceptthat, but I believe a person should bejudged by their word.

I welcome and encourage the otherparty to respond to give you their sideof the events and in return, I will alsomake myself available at any publicmeeting to debate the incident with thatmember. If the debate should occur, Iwould encourage the new board to re-lease the non-public minutes regardingthe section relating to the incident.

NEW DURHAM — Call-ing all telescopes. The NewDurham Public Library ex-tends an invitation for mem-bers of the public to bringtheir telescopes to the lib-rary for tomorrow evening’s(Friday, Aug. 7) star-gazingprogram.

“We’d like to have as manyas possible,” Library Direc-tor Max Crowe said, “to keepthings moving smoothly. It’sa great opportunity for any-one interested in the nightsky to attend, since we’llhave the ‘experts’ here.”

Representatives of theNew Hampshire Astronomi-cal Society will be on hand tolend their expertise. Thestar-gazing finishes off thefinal session of the SummerReading Program, based onmad science.

“We love being able to

combine what we’re doingwith the kids with events forthe public,” said Children’sLibrarian Cathy Allyn.“Nowthat the library has a tele-scope to lend, we’ve seen a lotof interest in astronomy.”

The summer reading pro-gram’s star-studded finalebegins at 7 p.m. “Our partic-ipants have done a multitudeof experiments and activi-ties,” Crowe said. “We’rehoping for a big turn-out, sothey can share this celebra-tion with their families.”

Allyn adds, “It’ll be fun tosee what sort of science proj-ects they come up with, too.”

This marks the first timethe library has held anevening event as part of thesummer reading program.“It’s an attempt to catch asmany folks as we can, whatwith all the different sched-

ules people have,” Allynsaid. “The kids worked hardon the movie and they de-serve recognition. Plus,we’re offering a terrific pres-entation by some ‘mad’ as-tronomers before we go outand look at the stars.”

The astronomy presenta-tion will begin shortly after7:30 p.m. “If you want to lenda telescope, we’d appreciateit,” Crowe said. “But it’d beeven better if you accompa-nied it and joined us for anenlightening evening in thedark.”

ALTON — From airportshuttle service to a chauf-feured night on the town withfriends, area residents nolonger need to look far fromhome for their transportationneeds.

Recognizing the need in Al-ton and surrounding commu-nities for an easily accessibletaxi service, BernadetteKutcher, owner of Lakes Re-gion Tax and Financial Plan-ning, made her first foray in-to the chauffeur business ear-lier this year, co-founding Big

Lake Taxi and Limo LLC withher son.

Kutcher explained duringa recent interview thatthrough discussions withfriends and clients (many ofwhom, she said, are unable todrive) during her 10 years asa resident of Alton, she beganto see the community’s needfor transportation servicesfirst-hand.

“That kind of sparked it,”she said, explaining that shestarted giving seriousthought to the idea of startinga taxi service when her son(who currently serves as the

company’s driver) ap-proached her saying he want-ed to try his hand at some-thing in the field of trans-portation.

With its initial fleet con-sisting of a town car and a sev-en-passenger van, Big Lakeopened on May 1 with the goalof providing, in Kutcher’swords, “any and every kind oftransportation” to local cus-tomers, mainly shuttle serv-ice to and from Manchesterand Logan Airport and chauf-feured trips to concerts at theMeadowbrook Pavillion inGilford and the M/S Mount

Happenings

Residents bring code enforcement issue to selectmenBY ELIZABETH CANTRALL

Contributing Writer

BARNSTEAD — Barn-stead residents Debbie andScott Simpson met with theBarnstead Board of Select-men during the board’s July28 meeting to discuss a letterthey had received from PaulRichardson, the town’s build-ing inspector and code en-forcer.

Scott Simpson told theboard that the assessor cameout to their property and saidthat the mobile home behindtheir house needed to bemoved. Simpson said theyhad two mobile homes at onepoint and they had permis-sion for them both.

Selectman Gordon Pre-ston questioned what reasonthe assessor gave the Simp-sons for removing the mobilehome and added that people

are not allowed to have tworesidences on their propertyunless one is for an in-law that is being taken careof and that one must be removed after the personpasses.

The Simpsons said the mo-bile home has been on theirproperty for more than 40years.

Debbie Simpson went onto say that they had the twooriginal mobile homes thenthey asked for a building per-mit and to remove one mo-bile home so they could buildtheir house.

“We went through every-thing; thought it was legitand then we got the letter,”said Simpson.

The board advised theSimpsons to take this matterup with the planning boardwho would deny them, but

then send them along in theprocess to the zoning board.

“I suggest tomorrow yougo to the building inspector’soffice and see Paula. She’lltell you what you need to do,” advised Selectman PhilGrillo.

“Karen, it’s difficult whenpeople make appointmentswhen we don’t have any ju-risdiction,” said ChairmanDave Kerr to Selectmen Sec-retary Karen Montgomeryafter the meeting with theSimpsons was over.

“If you want to give meany directions…I don’t knowwhy they were sent here,”replied Montgomery.

“Anybody who wants tocome here should be heard,”said Vice-Chair JimBarnard.

“Debbie said it was rec-ommended they come here

first. I don’t know who rec-ommended it. Most peopleare eager to find out wherethey need to go and not evencome here. Other peopledon’t even want to discussthe issue with me,”explainedMontgomery.

Barnard told Mont-gomery there was nothingshe could do about the peoplewho didn’t want to talk withher about their issues andthat if people wanted to seethe selectmen then theywould see them.

Kerr, however, stated thatin the past few weeks the se-lect board had seen a numberof issues where “we can’t

help them.”

New diesel tank

The highway departmentstorage tank passed inspec-tion, but will need a final coatof paint within the next year.

Barnard informed theboard that the diesel bidswere not all in yet.

Montgomery said she hadcalled the state and it was toolate to get in on their bid.

“Why not go to the suppli-er,” questioned Barnard.

Preston told Montgomerythat whenever she got all theinformation she needed sheshould go ahead and fill thetank because diesel keeps

going up.Selectman Andy Houle

suggested that this was theroad agent’s job and notMontgomery’s job.

“He’s the one that told uswe were going to get a gooddeal with Irving. Let him fin-ish it off,” said Houle

“That was a long time agoand there was a tremendousdifference in prices,” saidKerr.

However, after more dis-cussion the board decided tohave Montgomery pass thelist of bids on to Road AgentChris Carazzo and let himdeal with filling the newdiesel tank.

"Poetry is a small amountof gold, refined, hammeredto an exact shape, polished,and gleaming for all to seetheir own reflection," Redicsays on his Web site, addingthat poetry gives him a senseof solitude and that with it,

"It is by questioning thatwe learn and doing that weteach," he states, adding that

taking a leap of faith to be-lieve in someone else is thegreatest gift of all.

Alton Seniors Associationmeets Wednesday

BARNSTEAD — On Sat-urday, July 4, a number offamilies, all members of Cen-ter Barnstead ChristianChurch, made up a convoy tojourney to the Word of LifeFamily Campground nearSchroon Lake, N.Y., for aweek of camping, fun, fel-lowship, and Christianteachings. Making their wayacross New Hampshire andVermont then into New York,they encountered beautifulscenery, wildlife and wild fly-ing tarps. After checking in-to the campground and set-ting up tents and cabins, thevacations officially began.

For the adults, morningsat the camp were spent learn-ing more about the Bible andtheir relationship with Godfrom teachers such as theRev.Harry Bollback,Dr.Wen-dell Calder, Dr. Hayes Wickerand Dr. Marshall Wicks. Ageappropriate children’s pro-grams and groups were heldduring the same time as the

adult teachings. This allevi-ated the need to make specialarrangements for child careor to wonder what the chil-dren were up to as the adultswere engaged in learning.

During the afternoon freetime they were able to par-ticipate in some of the manyactivities available tocampers at the family camp-ground such as swimming,tubing, basketball, putt golf,carpet ball, skate park or vol-leyball. Some families optedto do nothing but relax andenjoy one another’s compa-ny. Tuesday’s Family FunDay was a big hit with theBarnstead contingent asthey watched their childrenparticipate in the variousgames and challenges.

There were more age ap-propriate teachings andgroups available in theevenings, followed by vari-ous games and tournamentsor other activities. They hadan entertaining Friday

evening when they attendedthe rodeo at the WOL Ranchjust down the road from thecampground. The eveningsended by a gathering of theCBCC families around acommunal campfire, eatingS’mores and telling tales.

No description of the fam-ily campground would becomplete without mention-ing the food. Although mostpeople provided their ownfood, breakfast, lunch anddinner were available forreasonable prices in the din-ing hall. The highlights ofthe food week were Thurs-day’s steak night and the“make your own” sundaesfour times during the week.

It’s a testament to the peo-ple at the WOL FamilyCampground that all thefamilies have already madereservations to do it all againin 2010. If you would likemore information about theweek of family camping, youcan call CBCC at 269-8831 orcome visit the church onRoute 126 in Center Barn-stead (next to the town hall).If you would like more in-formation about the Word ofLife Family Campground,visit www.wolcamps.com orcall 1-518-494-1390.

A balance of new and old at Alton Senior CenterBY BARBARA BALD

For the Alton Senior Center

ALTON — Most people arecomfortable living a life of bal-ance between the old and thenew. Everyone seems to likethe security of the familiar,yetenjoy the anticipation of try-ing something new. This is justwhat you’ll find if you stop bythe Alton Senior Center.

Weekly, friends meet at thecenter to share nutritiousmeals and friendship. On aregular basis, they enjoy: Pok-er on Mondays at 1 p.m.; Crib-bage/Bridge/Scrabble/Chess/Sudoku every day after noonlunch; Bingo every day, play-ers willing (with town Bingoevery third Friday at 1 p.m.);Bid Whist every Thursday af-ter lunch.

On Tuesdays and Fridaysat 10:30 a.m., they may walkwith “Warm Hearts WalkingGroup” while more adventur-ous seniors join the Hikers onMondays at 9 a.m. for jauntsaround the area (call Amy at875-7102 to check their desti-nations).

Health-wise, seniors cancheck their blood pressure, atthe Wolfeboro VNA’s freeblood pressure clinic everyother second Thursday of themonth between 11 a.m. and12:30 p.m. and at its foot careclinic every second Tuesday ofthe month at 12:45 p.m. (by ap-pointment, with a fee).

Computers (including In-ternet services) are now upand running at the center, soseniors also have access to cur-

rent information about justabout everything they want toknow. Individual training isavailable at no cost, so againAmy can schedule an appoint-ment.

WOLFEBORO — TheWinnipesaukee RepublicanCommittee welcomes KellyAyotte, a potential candidatefor U.S. Senate, as its guestspeaker on Aug. 11 at 6 p.m.at the Wolfetrap Grill andRawbar in Wolfeboro. Con-tinuing its summer-long tra-dition through ‘summer so-cials,’ the committee wishesto provide a forum in whichcitizens can judge candidatesand potential candidates,such as Ayotte, eyeing elect-ed positions for next year.

Winnipesaukee Republi-cans look forward to hearingthe much-anticipated posi-tions Ayotte will take in re-sponse to the issues of theday. Ayotte stepped down onJuly 17 as New HampshireAttorney General in order tofocus her efforts on a poten-tial run for the state’s high-est seat, being vacated next

was quoted by the Associat-ed Press regarding her deci-sion to resign as the state’stop prosecutor.

"Recently, many NewHampshire citizens haveurged me to run for UnitedStates Senate," she said. "I ap-preciate their confidence inme."

Ayotte is the first womanto serve as Attorney Generalof the State of New Hamp-shire, appointed for serviceby governors of both politi-cal parties. Late last year, Ay-otte was named New Hamp-shire Citizen of the Year for2008 by the New HampshireUnion Leader and SundayNews following her prosecu-tion of the convicted killer ofManchester Police OfficerMichael Briggs.

Besides her service to

Governor Craig Benson ashis legal counsel for a briefperiod, Ayotte has served inthe Office of the AttorneyGeneral since 1998. In 2004,she was appointed AttorneyGeneral by Gov. Benson, andshe was reappointed twice tofour-year terms by GovernorJohn Lynch.

Wright Museum looks at the work of Ernie PyleSaid soldier-artist Bill

Mauldin, whose droll, irrev-erent GI cartoons had madehim nearly as famous asPyle, “The only difference be-tween Ernie’s death and thatof any other good guy is thatthe other guy is mourned byhis company. Ernie ismourned by the Army.”

Celebrated in life andrevered in death, Pyle’s ownwords presaged how hewould be remembered, “Warmakes strange giant crea-tures out of us little routinemen who inhabit the earth.”

“Pyle had a need to bewhere the action was,” saidGary Morrison, a writer, ac-tor, and theater director whowill be portraying Ernie Pylein the Aug. 13 presentation ofHi, I’m Ernie Pyle at theWright Museum. “In a way,though his untimely deathwas tragic, it is befitting ofwho he was in life.”

The Aug. 13 fundraiserevent at the Wright, whichbegins at 7 p.m., will featurea performance of Morrison’sHi, I'm Ernie Pyle. In addi-tion, there will be a one-night-only display of Pyle ar-tifacts. Among them is a veryrare photo of Pyle, taken af-ter he had been killed. Thephoto is one of only threecopies known to exist; the

U.S. War Department had or-dered the destruction of thenegative and all knownprints, a measure taken toprotect morale on the homefront and among America’sservicemen.

Written and performed byMorrison (who was born theday the correspondent waskilled), Hi, I’m Ernie Pyle isa poignant and occasionallyhumorous look at the starkrealities of war. The play, per-formed in honor of all veter-ans, captures the period inPyle’s life when his articleswere the most widely antici-pated of any war correspon-dent. Morrison has per-formed the play across theMidwest and the East Coastat venues such as the Na-tional D-Day Memorial inBedford, Va.

Admission to Hi, I’mErnie Pyle is discounted formuseum members. Ticketsare available at the WrightMuseum gift store or by call-ing 569-1212. Payment may be made over the phone bycredit card, or attendees may R.S.V.P. and pay at thedoor. All proceeds from thisimportant fundraiser willhelp support education-al programs offered by themuseum.

WOLFEBORO — In life,WWII correspondent ErniePyle wrote dispatches fromthe front lines that riveted anation consumed by war. Indeath, his own sacrifice un-derscored the anxieties of anation steadfast in its re-solve, yet increasingly wearyfrom the war’s mounting hu-man cost.

Pyle’s columns reached 26million faithful readers eachweek. His inimitably plain-spoken, yet profoundly elo-quent, descriptions of ordi-nary GIs brought the warhome in a way no otherwriter’s words did.

“Ernie Pyle was basically

America’s first embedded re-porter,” said Mark Foynes,director of the Wright Muse-um of WWII History. OnThursday, Aug. 13 at 7 p.m.,the museum will be hosting adramatic performance basedon the correspondent’s lifeand writings.

“When the Armymarched, Pyle marched,”Foynes said. “And his writ-ings bore a level of authen-ticity and tangibility un-matched by his journalisticcontemporaries.”

In North Africa, Pyle ob-served soldiers on the march:“The men are walking. Theyare fifty feet apart, for dis-

persal. Their walk is slow, forthey are dead weary, as youcan tell even when looking atthem from behind.Every lineand sag of their bodiesspeaks their inhuman ex-haustion.”

While Pyle was much ad-mired by the servicemenwhom he lived among andwrote about, he was keenlyaware of his role. “The front-line soldier wants it to be gotover by the physical processof his destroying enoughGermans to end it. He is tru-ly at war. The rest of us, nomatter how hard we work,are not. … His blood is up. Heis fighting for his life, and

killing now for him is asmuch a profession as writingis for me.”

After covering the war inNorth Africa and Europe,Pyle set out for the Pacific in1945. While embedded withthe Marines on the small is-land of Ie Shima in April, hewas killed by Japanesesniper fire. The news ofPyle’s death stunned theAmerican public still mourn-ing the recent death of Pres-ident Franklin Roosevelt.Phone lines at news organi-zations across the countrywere jammed as grief-strick-en readers called to confirmthe awful truth.

Locke Lake meetingson the horizon

Area residents who at-tended the meeting also sug-gested lining up the north-bound entrance to MainStreet more evenly with theentrance to Depot Road,which lies on the oppositeside of the highway, and re-ducing the current 50 mphspeed limit at the intersec-tion in order to ensure thesafety of vehicles pullingonto Route 28 (one of the ob-servations Bakos said hemade during the afternoonrush hour was that driverswaiting to turn north ontoRoute 28 from Main Streetoften lose patience after sit-ting in backed-up traffic forextended periods of time,and pull out when they don’thave a wide enough openingto do so).

The major issue at the in-tersection of Routes 28 and107 in Pittsfield, Bakos said,is the uneven configurationof the left-turning lanes onthe northbound and south-bound sides of the highway,which lead to sight lineproblems.

Further complicating thesituation, he said, is the factthat left-turning vehicles oneither side of Route 28 arecurrently forced to yield toon-coming traffic.

Representatives from theDOT said there are plans un-der way at the state level toalleviate the confusion atthe Route 107 intersectionby putting in an additionalsignal for left-turning vehi-cles, and removing the ‘yieldon green’ sign.

While the possibility wasraised at the last PAC meet-

ing of placing crosswalks atthe intersection of Route 28and Maple Street in Barn-stead due to the close prox-imity of the elementaryschool, Bakos said it wouldnot be effective to change28’s status as a through-roadin that area.

Pittsfield Police ChiefRobert Wharem suggestedthat VHB look into the pos-sibility of calling on a statelaw he recalled reading oncethat mandated a maximumspeed limit of 35 mph in allschool zones.

At the intersection ofRoute 28 and Peachman andWhite Oak Roads in Barn-stead, which was assignedthe No. 1 slot on the PAC’s‘Top 10’ list, Bakos said themajor problem is the “geom-etry,” or layout, of the high-way, which creates treach-erous sight line issues.

While widening theshoulders on that section ofRoute 28 and installingstreet lights on White Oakand Peacham Road wouldimprove the situation, hesaid, any repairs should becoordinated with the DOT’splans to put the $1.5 millionallotted for Route 28 in 2010toward safety improve-ments.

Explaining that right-of-ways could become an issuein the Peacham/White Oakarea, DOT Project ManagerDon Lyford suggested that itmight be best to hold off onany major repairs to that in-tersection until the nextround of funding becomesavailable.

Questioning what he saw

as the DOT’s efforts to onceagain put much-needed re-pairs to Route 28 on thebackburner, Barnstead Se-lectman and PAC memberDave Kerr jokingly askedLyford whether the depart-ment would consider allow-ing town officials to set uptollbooths along the high-way as a way of funding therepairs that the state hasseemed unable or unwillingto pay for.

Lyford said he did notthink it likely.

The remaining two inter-sections on the ‘Top 10’ listwere North Barnstead Road(where Bakos suggested lev-eling off the approach toRoute 28 and dropping thecrest at the top of the hill inorder to improve sight lines)and Stockbridge CornerRoad in Alton (where he pro-posed making the turnofffrom the northbound side ofRoute 28 a one-way road,trimming back vegetationat the side of the roadwaythat hinders sight lines, andpainting a new stop bar atthe end of Stockbridge Cor-ner for vehicles turning on-to 28).

Urging PAC members tonotify VHB if they felt any-thing had been missed, he

explained that the engineer-ing firm will next begin toformalize its findings in areport.

Izard explained that theLRPC and CNHRPC shouldreceive VHB’s report byAug. 7, and will then corre-late it with the informationobtained by the PAC’s safetyaudit teams earlier this yearto create a draft report onthe entire project that willbe presented to the PAC atthe committee’s next meet-ing in August.

After making any neces-sary revisions, he said, theplanning commissionsshould have the final reportcompleted by the end of Au-gust and then bring it to theselectmen in each of the fivetowns in early Septemberasking for their endorse-ment.

Next meeting

The next and final PACmeeting has tentativelybeen scheduled for Thurs-day, Aug. 20, at 2 p.m. at a lo-cation yet to be determined(most likely somewhere inChichester).


Route 28 to look like in thecoming years, rather thanfocusing on their own indi-vidual master plans.

Agreeing that there is of-ten a “direct connection” be-tween land use and trans-portation issues, VHB High-way Engineer Greg Bakoscommented that the currentslump in the housing mar-ket might present local plan-ning boards with an oppor-tunity to put new regula-tions in place “before theboom comes back.”

Commenting that his or-ganization has been “busierthan ever” over the past fewmonths, LRPC PrincipalPlanner Mike Izard agreedthat the recession would bean “opportune time” for lo-cal boards to take a proac-tive, rather than reactive,approach.

Encouraging committeemembers to contact himwith their thoughts on theland use recommendations,Izard said the LRPC andCNHRPC were hoping to geta sense from them ofwhether or not their com-munities would be willingto go for the recommenda-tions.

Robin Bousa, a ProjectManager for VHB, notedthat a corridor-wide visioncould be used to entice busi-ness owners to move to thearea, particularly in light ofthe fact that roughly 13,000vehicles currently travel upand down the highway eachday.

Safety analysis findings

Bakos began his re-cap ofthe findings of VHB’s de-tailed safety analysis with afew corridor-wide observa-tions, including pavementedge drop-offs (which hesaid could be solved, in mostcases, by re-paving sectionsof the roadway with a slop-ing “safety edge”); objectsblocking the “clear zones”at the edge of the highway;a lack of street name and‘Intersection Ahead’ signs;inadequate street lighting;encroaching roadside vege-tation; an absence ofguardrail end treatments;and missing pavementmarkers, such as stop bars,on side streets.

Moving on to the ‘Top 10’list of dangerous intersec-tions, the committee estab-lished at its last meeting onJune 25 (which VHB organ-ized from south to north),Bakos started with the Ep-som Traffic Circle, where hesaid the primary issue is thewide-open driveways forbusinesses on three sides ofthe rotary.

As a way of mitigatingthe problem, he said, VHBhad proposed clearer delin-eations for the entrancesand exits to each businessaimed at controlling theflow of traffic.

Where Main Street inChichester meets Route 28,he said, VHB visualizedclosing down the turn-offthat enables vehicles head-ing south on Route 28 tomake a “straight shot”right-hand turn onto MainStreet at high speeds.

As the popularity of swingmusic began to wane afterWWII, the building was con-verted into a roller skatingrink and restaurant, and be-came a popular destinationfor local residents and visi-tors alike until well into the1980s.

Maserian, who enjoyedtrips to the pavilion himselfas a child, and often took hisown children there in lateryears, said his mother- andfather-in-law had their firstdate at the roller rink, givinghis family a deep connectionto the building that led himto purchase it from the Hoytbrothers in the hope ofbreathing new life into it, andinto the rest of the bay.

That dream was tragicallyput on hold when a five-alarm blaze tore through thePavilion in the early morn-ing hours of Dec. 14, 2006, re-ducing 90 percent of the new-ly-renovated structure to asmoldering ruin just weeksbefore the owners of the new

condos were scheduled tomove in.

Although he was devastat-ed by the setback, Maserianquickly refocused his effortson resurrecting the historiclandmark.

“It became a personal mis-sion for me to complete whatI started,” he said, adding

that he tried to preserve aconnection with the past bysalvaging what few artifactshe could from the originalPavilion, including severalvintage posters contractorshad discovered after rippingup the old floor boards andthe ‘Bay View Pavilion’ signthat once hung above the

stage, which can now be seenin the main hallway of thenew building.

Completing the re-con-struction, he said, also en-abled him to re-pay the sup-port from family and friends

who helped him through theprocess by temporarily offer-ing some of the condo unitsto his mother and others wholost their homes in the East-er Day fire at the Alton BayChristian Conference Center.

Gazing out across the bayfrom the rooftop observationdeck of his own condo,Maserian said he takes enormous satisfaction inknowing that the recon-

structed pavilion might help rejuvenate the area andcreate memories for a newgeneration.

The public will have achance to see the re-builtPavilion at an open housescheduled for Saturday,Aug. 14.

THE BAYSIDER SECTION B, PAGE 1THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 2009

A trip to the ballpark is always a highlight of the summer season

Fenway Park is one of myfavorite places and I try to getthere once every year if pos-sible. This year I thought itwould be great to see the Soxplay the A’s with the idea ofseeing Nomar Garciaparraplaying at Fenway again.

With that in mind, I boughttickets to last Monday night’sgame and while I was disap-pointed that Nomar didn’t getto play, it was a great gameand really, there was no com-plaints on this end.

Over the years I’ve sat inmany different places at Fen-way, including the Monsterseats high above the left fieldwall, but I’ve never sat on thethird base side, so when I pur-chased my tickets for thisgame, I bought some seatsalong the third base line. Theseats were under cover so anypotential rain wouldn’t havebeen an issue.

The biggest problem withgoing to a Monday game ismaking sure all the work isdone before I leave the office.Two of my three sports sec-tions have to be in Meredithby Monday at 4 p.m. I left myhouse at about 2:30 p.m. andstopped to pick up my friendKim in Farmington before

heading to Boston. We madeit to Boston with no trafficproblems at all, which wasgreat.

We had a bite to eat beforethe game and once we got inthe park, Josh Beckett madesure it was an enjoyable ex-perience, as he struck out 10and dominated the A’s. DustinPedroia hit a homer over theMonster in left in the first in-ning to give the Sox a lead theynever relinquished.

Of course, with all the peo-ple leaving the park, trafficheading out of the Fens was-n’t exactly a treat. We sat onCommonwealth Avenue for awhile before making our wayto clear sailing on StorrowDrive and heading off to theTobin Bridge and Routes 1and 95 north.

Then, we ran into a night-time construction projectthat turned three lanes oftraffic into one on the bridgewith no prior warning ofwhat was to come until we

were in the tunnel leading upto the bridge, at which pointit was too late to turn around.I know that if I had advancedknowledge of this wonderfulproject, I would’ve takenRoute 93 north instead toavoid the mess that we endedup sitting in leading onto thebridge.

Either way, we made ithome in one piece and I wasstill able to get up on time tomake it to work on Tuesdaymorning to get the papersdone.

All told, it was a great ex-perience again, as Fenway al-ways is for me. I love every-thing about the place, eventhe cramped seats and crowd-ed aisles. I always visit theteam store and have someballpark food to complete theexperience.

And Fenway continues tobe one of my favorite places,though the Tobin Bridge isnot high on my list. But infairness, it was never one ofmy favorites to begin with.

LACONIA — After losingthe first game of the statetournament, the FarmingtonBabe Ruth 14U All-Stars made a bunch of noise mov-ing through the losers’ brack-et before finally being elimi-nated by Keene on Saturday,Aug. 1, at The Robbie MillsMemorial Sports Complex in Laconia.

After the opening loss toManchester on Sunday, July26, the Farmington kids (fea-turing players from Alton,New Durham and Wakefield

in addition to those fromFarmington), returned to La-conia on Tuesday, July 28, fora game with Goffstown andfans in attendance got morethan their money’s worth in agame that moved quicklythrough the first five inningsand required nine innings be-fore a winner was decided.

Farmington opened thegame with both Tyler Olbergand Austin Healey getting hitby pitches in the first inning.A pickoff error moved bothrunners up a base and a wildpitch allowed Olberg to score,however, Healey was cut

down trying to score as well.Ethan Henderson followed

with a base hit and stole sec-ond, but one out later wasgunned down trying to stealthird to end the inning.

JT Symonds took the hillfor the Farmington kids andhis sidearm delivery had theGoffstown kids off balance allevening long.

He set the side down in or-der in the first inning, butFarmington also went downin order in the top of the second.

Goffstown got a leadoff hitin the second inning, but a

nice catch by Healeyon a foul pop-up andSymonds struck outthe final batter of the inning.

Farmington wentin order in the thirdand Symonds gotsome good defensivehelp from first base-man Greg Brannon inthe bottom of the in-ning, which helpedkeep Goffstown offthe board.

Symonds worked awalk in the fourthwith two outs, but waspicked off on a nice throw bythe Goffstown catcher.

A one-out double put a run-ner in scoring position forGoffstown in the bottom ofthe fourth, but one out later,Jason Houghton hauled in afly ball to left to end the in-ning.

Farmington went in orderin the fifth and Goffstown putthe first runner on in the bot-tom of the inning. After steal-ing second base, the runnerwas gunned down by Healeytrying to steal third to quietany chance of a Goffstownrally.

Kris Saba walked to startthe sixth for Farmington anda sacrifice bunt by LukeHefler moved him to second.Saba moved to third on a pick-off error, but was strandedthere and in the bottom of theinning, Goffstown finally goton the board.

when a pop up fell behind themound. A stolen base and anerror moved the runner tothird and he tried to scorewhen the throw to thirdsoared to the fence. However,Houghton, the leftfielder, wasbacking the play up andgunned down the runner atthe plate.

The next batter was hit bya pitch and after Hefler madea nice catch in right, a basehit tied the game at one.Symonds struck out the finalbatter to get out of the inning.

Brannon laced a two-outbase hit down the third baseline in the seventh, but theFarmington kids couldn’tscore, sending the game to thebottom of the seventh withthe score tied at one.

Henderson took over onthe hill for Farmington in thebottom of the seventh andstruck out the first two bat-ters he faced before issuing awalk. However, Healey threwout the runner trying to stealthird, ending the inning.

Houghton led off theeighth with a walk and Sababunted him to second. Heflerfollowed with a groundout tosecond to move Houghton tothird and after Olbergwalked, an unusual playhelped Farmington take thelead.

The Goffstown catcherthrew to first, where the first-baseman pretended hemissed the throw. Houghtonbroke from third to home, butthe Goffstown first baggertook his time throwing homeand Houghton slid in underthe tag to give Farmington a2-1 lead. The Goffstown man-ager was thrown out of thegame after arguing the call.

However, Goffstown ral-lied in the eighth. After Hen-derson struck out the first twobatters, a double and an errorallowed Goffstown to tie thescore at two.

Farmington rallied in thetop of the ninth. Hendersonled off with a walk and stolesecond and third. An error al-lowed him to come home togive Farmington a 3-2 lead.Symonds walked and movedto second on a groundout byBrannon. Coty Cole followedwith a base hit and stole sec-ond, putting runners on sec-ond and third. Houghton thenlined a base hit to plateSymonds and make it 4-2.

Farmington returned toLaconia on Thursday night totake on Great Bay North andonce again, the fans got theirmoney’s worth with a well-played affair.

Henderson doubled in thefirst inning, but was strandedat second. Great Bay put thefirst runner on base in the bot-tom of the inning against Ol-

berg,but he was gunned downby Healey trying to steal sec-ond. After an error and a basehit put two runners on, a 6-5-3 double play, with Zach Tat-tersall throwing to Symonds,who fired across the diamondto Brannon, ended the threat.

With one out in the second,Saba had a base hit and movedto third one out later on a dou-ble off the left field fence byHoughton. However, Farm-ington couldn’t plate a run.

Great Bay came up in thesecond and got on the board.Henderson started out theframe by making a nice grabin centerfield and one out lat-er, a walk and a base hit putrunners on the corners. Adouble steal gave Great Bay a1-0 lead, but Brannon did anice job of tracking down afoul pop up to end the inning.

Farmington came inchesfrom tying the game in the topof the third. With one out,Healey lined a shot off thefence in left center that

missed being a homer byabout five inches. However,Healey was gunned downstealing third to keep Farm-ington from scoring.

With one out in the bottomof the frame, Hendersonmade a great running catchgoing back to the fence in leftcenter for the second out.

Walks to Symonds and Sa-ba put two runners on forFarmington in the fourth, butagain they couldn’t score andin the fifth, Olberg had a basehit but was caught stealing tokeep the score at 1-0.

Henderson made anothernice grab in center to start thefifth, but two hits later, a forceplay and a groundout helpedkeep Great Bay from uppingthe lead.

In the top of the sixth,Farmington finally got on theboard. Henderson led off theinning with a base hit andmoved up on a pickoff error.Symonds then drove him inwith a base hit. Symonds

moved to second on the throwhome and a passed ball puthim at third. Two outs later,Symonds was cut down at theplate trying to score on a wildpitch.

Henderson took over onthe hill for the sixth and withone out, gave up a hit and adouble to allow Great Bay totake a 2-1 lead. However a nicecatch by Cole in right helpedget Farmington out of the in-ning.

With one out in the top ofthe seventh, Dakota Heonwalked and Cole doubled, put-ting runners on second andthird.A wild pitch allowed thetying run to score and one outlater, Healey lined a base hitto give Farmington a 3-2 lead.

Henderson surrendered awalk in the bottom of the sev-enth, but nobody scored andthe game ended with Farm-ington earning a 3-2 win andearning a spot in the losers’bracket finale, which tookplace on Saturday, Aug. 1.

In that game, things start-ed out well, as Farmingtonput the first two runners on inthe first inning. However,they were unable to score andfor the rest of the game, theKeene hurler kept Farming-ton off the basepaths, allow-ing just one hit.

Symonds also pitched wellfor Farmington, giving upfive hits and striking out five,but Keene pushed acrossthree runs and walked offwith a 3-0 win over Farming-ton to earn a trip to the finalsagainst Manchester on Sun-day, Aug. 2.

The Farmington All-Starsroster included Tyler Olberg,Austin Healey, Ethan Hender-son, JT Symonds, Greg Bran-non, Zach Tattersall, DakotaHeon, Kris Saba, Nick El-dridge, Jason Houghton,Luke Hefler and Coty Cole.The team was coached by TedHealey and Joe Symonds.

CONCORD — After win-ning the district champi-onship by default (the twoother teams backed out ofthe tournament), the Farm-ington Babe Ruth 13U All-Stars endured a long layoffbefore embarking on thestate tournament in Concordlast weekend.

The Farmington kidslooked a bit rusty in theopening game of the tourna-ment last weekend, falling toKeene, but things went a bitbetter over the next fewgames as the locals got backin the swing of things.

Farmington returned toConcord’s Doane Diamondat Memorial Field on Mon-day, July 27, for the secondgame of the tournament,where they met up with Goff-stown and easily took care ofbusiness, despite a rain de-lay. Farmington put up 13runs and took a 13-3 win infive innings.

Ike Jacobs drove in the fi-nal run of the game, hisfourth RBI of the day, scor-ing Seth Fogg on a sacrificefly in the bottom of the fifthinning to give Farmingtonthe 10-run lead required toend the game early.

Goffstown took an early 1-0 lead, but Brandon Hilmandrove in the tying run beforethe rain came to put bothteams on the bench. Hilmanthen scored the go-ahead runin the bottom of the third af-ter the rain delay. Fogg drovein the second and third runs(including Hilman) with adouble.

Jacobs drove in a pair inthe bottom of the third, asIke Morse and Fogg crossedthe plate.

Morse and ChristianHaskell turned in solid de-fensive plays, with Morsemaking a great catch on afoul pop-up and Haskell com-ing in to make a great grabon a shallow fly ball to rightfield.

With the big win, theFarmington kids earned achance to return to Concordfor a rematch with Keene onWednesday, July 29.

Kevin Radcliffe got thestart on the hill againstKeene and with a base hit awalk and an error in the firstinning, found himself in abit of trouble. However, hemade two solid plays to closeout the inning and keepKeene off the board.

Farmington then took aquick lead in the bottom ofthe inning. With one out,Radcliffe, Fogg and CoreyWilson walked to load thebases and Morse followedwith a base hit to plate two

runs and give Farmington a2-0 lead.

Radcliffe pitched aroundan error in the top of the sec-ond and also got a nice playfrom Fogg on a line drive toshortstop.

Farmington added anoth-er run in the bottom of thesecond inning. Ryan Scrutonwalked with one out and AJValladares reached on an er-ror. Radcliffe then lined toright, allowing Scruton toscamper home from thirdwith the third run of thegame.

Radcliffe pitched around atwo-out base hit in the top ofthe third and again Farm-ington came up with a run inthe top of the fourth.

Wilson walked and wasforced at second on agrounder to third by Morse.Jacobs moved Morse to sec-ond with a grounder to the

mound and Connor Leahyhad a base hit to plate Morsewith the fourth run of thegame.

Fogg took over on themound in the fourth and sur-rendered a walk, but pitchedaround it to keep Keene offthe board.

Farmington went quietlyin the fourth, despite a basehit by Valladares. However, a

nice play by Wilson and astrikeout by Fogg helpedkeep Keene scoreless in thetop of the fifth.

Jacobs had a two-out basehit in the bottom of the fifth,but was stranded on thebases as Farmington could-n’t add a run.

Keene finally got on theboard in the sixth inning, asa walk, a sacrifice bunt, a

base hit and a sacrificegrounder allowed one run toscore. However, Fogg got anice play by Valladares onthe bunt to help prevent fur-ther damage.

Farmington got walksfrom Brannon Blair and Val-ladares and a base hit fromFogg, but couldn’t take ad-vantage of the bases loadedchance.

With two outs in the sev-enth, Keene got a long dou-ble, but a grounder to shortended the game and Farm-ington had a 4-1 win.

The win meant that theteam had to remain in Con-cord for a game later thatsame afternoon against Man-chester.

Despite the threat of rainand the actual rain itself, thegame started on time, butwas delayed in the first in-ning after Manchester took a6-0 lead.

The two teams returnedthe next afternoon to finishup the game and Manchesterwent on to take a 22-0 win andeliminate the Farmingtonkids from the state tourna-

ment.The Farmington Babe

The big lakes like Winniewill have cold water speciesat about the 30-foot range ordeeper. Four or six colors oflead core line with lures orflies will get you down to thefish's level. As with the warmwater species, they are moreactive at dusk and dawn.

Local streams still havelots of water flowing fromthe past months of rain. Youwill find fish in the shadowsof bushes and shrubs, over-hanging banks and deeppools. A Colorado spinnerand worm combination can'tbe beat for brook trout orrainbows.

Even though outdoorspeople are still thinking offishing in August, it is also a"get ready" month for the up-coming hunting seasons.Black bear general huntingand baiting season opensSeptember first in the Altonarea. If you want to bait, youhave to prepare now. Blackbear feed on berries and ear-ly mast (nuts), you need to

find these feeding areas now,and get written landownerpermission to place baitsthere. You may only put outtwo bait sights, unless youare a registered guide, who isallowed six sites. A "Permis-sion to Bait" form, F&G 180,must be filled out, a conser-vation officer must be noti-fied of where the baits areplaced. A map of the site(s)must be provided along withthe names of any hunters us-ing it. As always, be sure tocheck the NH Hunting Di-gest.

If you are a bow hunter,you should start practicingthis month since the archerydeer season opens Sept. 15.Air out your camo huntingclothes, get out your treestands and check them forsafety, choose your standsites and get the landowner'swritten permission. To getyourself psyched for deerseason, you can still illumi-nate wildlife at night thismonth (also called "spotlighting"), but that ends Aug.31. At least you will knowsome deer are in the areawhen you see them in thefields at night.

Get ready now.

Two rhinos on the planet, both the stuff of nightmaresAmong the many letters I

handled this week was onefrom a reader in the LakesRegion (Wolfeborough, Ithink, but I’ve already an-swered it and trashed it soI’ve forgotten) who remindedme about an “Ugh!” column Iwrote a few years that par-ticularly hit home. This isnot my oft-repeated lamentabout all of the towns exceptMoultonborough droppingthe “ugh” of old. It’s about asubject that is just plain“Ugh,” as in “Yuck.”

“I encountered this gigan-tic, unbelievable insect,” hisletter began, or words to thateffect. “Didn’t you writeabout a similar experience?”

Well, boy, as Sarah Palinwould say, you betcha.

This was back in the mid-‘70s when I was working full-time as a roving feature guyfor the New Hampshire Sun-day News. For some reason Iwas intrigued by Sandwich’sroad agent, Moose Evans,and went up to do a story onhim, I forget why. At any rate,I wound up taking what I’vealways thought of as one ofthe best photos of my entirecareer, which is a pretty longcareer and getting longer. Itshowed Moose, his wife, andhis father standing in thefront yard of their home,along with a huge whiteturkey. Why the turkey was

on hand and insisting onstrutting into the picture Idon’t know. Moose featuredlegs as thick as tree-trunks,and his overall cuffs wererolled up a good five inchesover thick-soled boots. Whata guy.

I had business further easton that sunny summer day,so I motored along quirky,twisting, dipping, narrow,beautiful, saved-from-the-im-provement-engineers Route113, my arm out the windowof my ’70 Scout.

Now, I’m accustomed tohaving the odd bee, hornet orwasp hit the left rearviewmirror and ricochet into thecab, and have no problemdealing with them. In gener-al, the rule is to (a) checkyour lap, then the seat, and(b) absent any live stinginginsect, drive on. If (a) turnsup a very alive, agitated, hos-tile, stinger-extended crea-ture, you freak out, which isthe cause of many accidents.

I was maybe five mileseast of Moose’s house whensomething hit the mirrorwith a “whack!” that sound-ed like a one-wood off the tee.

“Jesus Mary and Joseph,what the hell was that?” Iwondered. This is an expres-sion that has been handeddown by generations on theIrish side of my French-Irishlineage.

I looked down first at mycrotch (naturally), then theseat, then the floorboard,then all around. Nothing.Perhaps, I concluded, it rico-cheted out, not in. We have al-ways been known as a fami-ly of optimists.

A few seconds later I feltsomething crawling up theinside of my left pant-leg.This was after it had negoti-ated my 10-inch Bean boot. Ilooked down to see a bulgethe size of an Extra JumboEgg moving up the inside ofmy trouser.

“Don’t freak,” came tomind, and then “Whatthe hell do I dohere?” The

bulge was now almost to myknee. I reached down andgrabbed it from the outside,in what I hoped was a deathgrip. The bulge proceeded tothrash and scratch and try toclench what seemed to be (alittle heavy monster-moviemusic here) large mandibles.

The Scout had a standardtransmission. I put it in neu-tral and coasted, looking fora place to pull over. Thatdone, I hopped out and overbehind the vehicle, keepingmy left hand tight to control(sort of) whatever wasthrashing and trying to biteme.

Now what? We’re talkingBean boots here. Obviouslythe right boot had to come offand my trousers unbelt-

ed and unzipped and myright leg freed for supportwhile I addressed the clearand present danger on theleft.

That done, I unlaced theleft boot, worked my pantsdown to where the battleraged, steadied myself withmy right hand on the opendoor, and prepared for the fi-nal, desperate move. This in-volved (a) letting go of what-ever it was, and (b) gettingmy leg out of the pants withthe utmost speed.

Out onto the graveldropped one of the biggest,fiercest-looking insects I’dever seen. It immediatelyturned straight toward me,tank-like, and

opened its huge jaws.It was, I immediately real-

ized, a rhinoceros beetle, oneof the largest insects on theplanet, a scarsabaeid of thegenus Dynastes, which justso happens to sort of rhymewith “nasty.” I knew thisfrom once having encoun-tered one in the bathroom ofour apartment in Manches-ter, which shrugged off myattempts to kill it with aheavy shoe.

I still have dreams aboutthis second encounter andonce in a while tell the storyat an opportune time arounda dinner table at one event orthe other, at which table-

mates invariably shudderand utter things like“Ugh! And “Yuck!”

This fascinationwith giant man-eating

insects apparently runs inthe family. While writing thisI conversed with eldestdaughter Karen, who now isa hard-bitten newspaper edi-tor but once served as a Ko-rean linguist with the Army.She was in a class session onprotective gear and looked upto see an insect about two feetlong crawling across the out-side window.

Her first instinct was tostand up and yell that every-one had to evacuate, immedi-ately, but she wound up star-ing in amazement and saying“Gosh, gee,” or somethinglike that.

Don’t miss this opportunity, the offer is total-ly FREE and there is no obligation. Hearingloss is the third most common problem inAmerica. 31.5 million Americans have hear-ing loss. This number is projected to increaseto 78 million within 10 years. 1 in 3 peopleover 60 years of age suffer from hearing loss.Less than 10% receive help. Why is this?

The factors that contribute to why hearingaids are not worn more are

Hearing Aids:1) Are not covered by Medicare or most

insurance2) Add to the stigma of getting older3) Are not comfortable4) Are not cosmetically appealing5) Do not sound natural6) Do not work well in noise where most

people have problems.

Hearing Enhancement Centers is conductingan important field study on a new model ofan open ear hearing aid. It is smaller andmore comfortable than traditional hearingaids.

We are seeking people with hearing loss toparticipate in this study. Both current hearingaids users and nonusers are needed.

Participants will have 30 days to evaluate thisnew hearing aid risk free. All lab and testingservices are performed at no charge. At theend of the initial trial period, participantsmay return the aids or be allowed to purchasethem at a highly discounted price.

Study Purpose:It is the intent of this study to prove:A) The new Open-Fit style earing aid drasti-

cally reduces, if not virtually eliminatesthe factors cited above as the reasons whyhearing aids are not more readily worn bythe general population.

B) If patients were allowed to take home thenew Open-Fit hearing instruments for a30 day trial period without concern forcost, penalty or purchase pressure, morepatients would realize the benefits ofhearing aids in their own environmentand choose to correct or improve theirhearing loss.
