Going their separate waysKennett stars Bishop and Gutowski will face-off next year in collegeBy Joshua Spaulding

Sports Editor

FOR YEARS THEY’VEbeen suiting up for thesame team. It began in jun-ior high and continuedthrough high school, culmi-nating in the school’s firstfield hockey state champi-onship last fall.

However, next year whenKatie Bishop and AbbeyGutowski step onto thefield hockey field together,they will be sporting differ-ent uniforms.

Two of the stars of theKennett field hockey teamover the last few years,Gutowski and Bishop willboth be attending DivisionI schools to play field hock-ey next year. Gutowski isheading north to theUniversity of Maine, whileBishop is heading south toHofstra University onLong Island.

And as fate would have it,the two schools play eachother next year.

“I’m so excited for that,”Bishop said of the chance toplay against her longtimeteammate and friend. “But Iknow what she does outthere.”

“We’re going to knowhow to defend each other,”Gutowski added.

As last year’s champi-onship season was rollingalong, Gutowski had ver-bally committed to Maine,but Bishop still had no ideawhere she was heading nextyear.

“I wasn’t even thinkingabout it,” Bishop said. “Wewere still in the high schoolseason, we weren’t evenclose to that time.”

However, the march tothe state championship putall of those things on theback burner for a few weeksin October. It was especial-ly sweet after the team felljust short in the finals twoyears earlier.

“It was perfect,”

Gutowski said. “It would’vebeen so upsetting to havethat happen again. It wasn’tgoing to happen again.”

“I couldn’t ask for more,”Bishop said. “I needed toknow we could come homewith a state championship.”

The two were alsopleased that they got to playtogether on the offensiveside of the ball. Bishop hadspent much of her highschool career on the defen-sive end of the field, but lastyear, new coach CJ Langmoved her to offense,where she and Gutowskimade a lethal pair.

Both young ladies knewthey wanted to play collegefield hockey and were gun-ning for Division I, but theyalso wanted to take academ-ics into account whenchoosing a place to attendschool next year.

For both Bishop andGutowski, the choice of amajor narrowed their field

of colleges.“It all came down to, I

knew I wanted athletictraining (as a major) andHofstra was the onlyDivision I school thatwould work with me so Icould major and play thesport,” Bishop stated.

“I knew I wanted to playDivision I and my major(New Media) is hard tofind,” Gutowski said, not-ing most schools thatoffered the major weresmall liberal arts collegesand many didn’t have fieldhockey programs. “ButUMaine has a liberal artsschool, I have family inMaine, it was a goodchoice.”

Both ladies will jointeams that have had suc-cessful runs in recent years.

“They’re an up and com-ing team and I definitelywant to be a part of that,”Gutowski said. “The coachis doing a real good job of

recruiting, it’s a very mixedgroup of kids.”

“Hofstra’s been up therein the top 25,” Bishop said.

She also likes the schoolbecause of its proximity (25miles or so) to New YorkCity.

“I’m ready for somethingnew,” she said. “I’m fromSouth Dakota, then wemoved here, I’m definitelyready for a totally differentatmosphere.”

The two Eagles will alsobe looking to make theirmark early.

“The coach told me Ihave all the stick skills, I justneed to be conditioned,”Bishop said. “If so, I will bea starter (on defense) myfreshman year.”

“Everyone plays so differ-ent,” Gutowski said of thewide variety of players com-ing from all over the worldto UMaine. “I hope tobring the whole NewEngland flavor to UMaine.

“As a freshman, you haveto work into getting yourplaying time on the field,”she continued.

While both girls are play-ing spring sports atKennett, with Gutowskiplaying lacrosse and Bishopplaying softball, they arealso still immersed in fieldhockey.

“Field hockey neverends,” Bishop said.

The two train everySunday at UNH and play intournaments with their clubteam, New EnglandHockeymates.

“If anything, you have towork harder,” Gutowskisaid. “You have to up yourgame big time.”

And the game of fieldhockey is much different onthe Astroturf used by mostcollege programs.

“You have to think faster,”Bishop said.

“You’re whole game ischanged on turf,” Gutowskisaid. “Nothing’s the same.”

The two noted that theyhave somewhat of a disad-vantage, living in an areawhere they can’t play fieldhockey all year long with-out making long trips totournaments and indoorfacilities. Many of the play-ers that they will be playingwith in the fall play all yearin their own backyards.

And if UMaine andHofstra are doing battlenext year and a Black Bearfreshman breaks free intothe offensive zone with onlyone very familiar Pridedefenseman standing in herway, can the Black Bearexpect the familiar Prideface to let her slip in ongoal?

“I don’t think it will hap-pen,” Bishop said. “I mightnot see much playing time.”

“You better not,”Gutowski laughed to herfriend about letting her by.“I’ll beat her all on myown.”

CCaattcchh--MM--AAllllThe Mighty Northern Nofish

By Dave Kellam and Clay Groves

Special to The Mountain Ear

WHEN WE BEGAN ourcatch and eat quest, we knew itwould be a learning experi-ence. Already we have discov-ered secret fishing spots andculinary delights unknown toeven the most-worldly chefs.But little did we know that wewould discover an entirelynew fish species: the northernnofish.

Since we are the first to clas-sify a northern nofish we getto assign it’s scientific name,Davenclayia nocatchemtodais.Like scientists deducing darkmatter in the universe, welearned that this fish mustexist from circumstantial evi-dence, not direct observation.

We found nofish on a recenttrip to Exeter and the TaylorRiver watershed in pursuit ofgolden shiners and chain pick-erel. These two fish live inswampy water and the head-waters of the watershed hasplenty of it. The area is dottedwith bogs, beaver ponds andslow streams that windthrough forests and fields.Two human-made dams backup the main river before itenters the Hampton-Seabrookestuary.

Since the water is shallowand the bottom is black withrotted vegetation, swamps arethe first to warm in the spring,activating life earlier than biglakes and rivers. The plan wasto catch the smaller shinersfirst, keep one to eat and usethe rest as bait for pickerel.

Our first stop was a 30-footround, cattail-rimmed pondand it was here that we hadour nofish epiphany. While wetook turns dropping a ridicu-lously small hook tipped witha bit of worm near a muskratlodge, Dave said “There areno fish in here”. Clay laughedand replied, “Yeah maybe thenofish chased the othersaway.” And like a light bulbturning on, we looked at eachother and began piecingtogether the existence ofnofish.

Like Gremlins orVoldemort, nofish make per-fect sense, because they bal-ance the equation of life. Theyare the karmic counterweightto the wonderful experience ofcatching fish. Without nofish,there would be just too muchjoy in the world.

As we thought about it, werealized that nofish have exist-ed for a long time. Weremember our sixth gradeU.S. history books reportingthe early colonists had a toughfirst winter, in part because“they caught nofish.” Alsonofish must be in saltwatertoo, because we both remem-bered hearing that the codfishery collapsed because“boats were bringing innofish.” It was then that Daverecalled being told by hisfather that, “if you talk while

fishing, you’ll catch nofish.” Nofish are, like any good

legendary creature, invisible.But we knew we were in apond full of them when a gustof wind blew Dave’s baitedhook into the reeds and he feltthe telltale pull of a northernnofish. After a short battle hisline broke - the first nofish ofthe day. It was now time to goto the Taylor River.

Starting at Rice Dam on theboarder of Hampton andHampton Falls we paddledour 17-foot Old Town canoeupstream to a spot Davedreamed would have big pick-erel. However, when werounded the bend, we found

that our dreams were crushedby a beaver that had built adam from shore to shore. Clayclimbed onto the ridge of mudand sticks and made a cast. Hisline tightened and he set thehook on a dandy nofish. Hewas firmly connected to anunderwater log. After his linebroke, we knew we had caughtour daily bag limit of nofish.

As we tied the canoe on thetop of the Honda, we realizedwe are good nofish fishermenand thought about writing abook of tips. It would includepopular nofish lures such ascrank baits with rusty hooksand jigs tipped with rottenworms; surefire methods for

catching nofish, such as cast-ing lures into trees and tyingweak knots. A person canensure catching nofish ifhe/she stays home, but that islike fishing with dynamite -very unsportsman like.

The best thing about nofishis their versatility in thekitchen. There are thousandsof nofish recipes available.Our favorite is NorthernNofish Chowdar, which callsfor eight ounces of nofish,which adds an interesting bit-ter taste to the dish. It isimportant to note that realfish can be substituted fornofish.

So now we have addednorthern nofish as the 49thfish found in New Hampshireand we are proud to check itoff our quest list. We enjoyedlearning about it and theimportant role it plays in thefishing experience, but wereally don’t want to be knownas professional nofishermen.That is why we are happy toreport that our next queststory will feature an Atlanticsalmon caught from the sto-ried waters of LakeWinnipesaukee. Until thenfollow our blog at www.catch-m-all.com or find us onFacebook.

Until the next one…Dave andClay are two local fishermen thathave embarked on a yearlongquest to catch and eat everyspecies of freshwater fish in N.H.Follow the Quest at www.catch-m-all.com or look for the nextarticle to appear in the MountainEar.

CCrriitttteerr CCoorrnneerrARLNH-North offering free pass to MWV Dog ParkThe Animal Rescue

League of New Hampshire-North is offering a free 30-day pass to the Mt.Washington Dog Park toindividuals who have neverbeen members of the park.According to VirginiaMoore, “we want people whomay have never been to thepark to see what a great expe-rience it is. We’re not surewho enjoys the park more.the dogs or their people.”

Moore explains that thereis a group of people who reg-ularly frequent the park, par-ticularly on weekends. “Thedogs get to know each otheras do the people, and it cre-ates a wonderful sense ofcommunity for dog lovers.”The dog park is located inConway on the property ofand behind the ARLNH-North. The park is a secure,fenced-in one-acre propertywhere dogs can run safely.There is a separate area forsmall dogs that may feeloverwhelmed being in aspace with much larger dogs.Many dog park owners whoare regulars at the park arethrilled to have a place fortheir dogs to run, exerciseand socialize with other ani-mals without worrying aboutcars or other safety issues.

The shelter hopes to

attract more yearly membersto the dog park; all of theproceeds from the park go tosupport the work of theARLNH-North, whichanticipates assisting close to1,000 homeless animals thisyear. A yearly membership tothe park is $50, which Moorenotes is just over $4 a month,“a real bargain.”

Dog owners interested ingetting the free pass can findthe information on the shel-ter’s website at www.con-wayshelter.org. They can alsocontact Virginia Moore [email protected].

or call447-5605. The park islocated at 223 East MainStreet in Conway, behind theshelter.

Eleven local restaurants tookpart in the project that brought in over $5,000 for the animals in theConway shelter’s care. “We are so grateful for the support of both therestaurants and the diners who gave so generously to help the ani-mals,” said Virginia Moore, ARLNH-N director and manager of thefundraising project. “We are excited to offer this to more restaurantsnext year and fine tune the event to suit each restaurant’s individuali-ty.” ARLNH-N Board Chair Les Schoof and Director Virginia Moorehold a very large check with the proceeds from money raised withGiving Some Green to the Animals this past March.

VVaalllleeyy FFoollkkss && FFooccuussMadison Elementary School News for March

By Ali JanowitzGuidance Counselor

This month in Madison wehave been busy learning andhaving fun. The MadisonGrasshoppers Jump Rope Clubcompleted another successfulyear with a performance onMarch 14. A total of 38 studentsattended Jump Rope Club everyMonday before school frommid-October to mid-March.The students put on a spectacu-lar performance that showcasedtheir jump rope talent to par-ents, friends, and communitymembers on the evening ofMarch 14. Everyone who wasinvolved enjoyed their timespent preparing, practicing, andwatching. Small groups witholder club members as the lead-ers, put on creative performanc-es, including one group who puton a “circus act.”

On the afternoon of March17, students and families had theopportunity to go skating at theHam Arena. This event tookplace during an Early Releasewhere staff members from all ofthe schools in SAU13 met inMadison to participate in aworkshop on bullying. MustangAcademy, our before-and-afterschool program was in charge ofthis activity and students, staff,volunteers, and parents had awonderful time skating.

Our after school HomeworkClub has gained many newmembers. This is a programoffered by Mustang Academythrough the 21st CenturyGrant, and has given many stu-dents the opportunity to receivehelp in completing their nightlyhomework assignments.Mustang Academy has alsooffered kids the chance to workwith Youth Beatz, a team orient-

ed aerobic, rhythm and fitnessprogram that builds character,self-confidence, conflict resolu-tion skills, and respect for selfand others. This program isinstructed by Rich Regione, andwill culminate with a perform-ance later in the year. Studentsalso have the choice to partici-pate in Cooking Club,C.A.T.C.H. (CoordinatedApproach to Child Health) KidsPhysical Education Club, ArtClub, Mad Science Club,Felting, Lego Club, MusicLessons, Pottery, and SpanishClub. Mustang Academy con-tinues to add enriching experi-ences to the lives of Madisonstudents. We are lucky to havesuch an active before-and-afterschool program.

Due to the snow day inMarch, the Reading is Fun bookdistribution, which is normallypart of Read Across AmericaWeek, was rescheduled forMarch 21. Every student in the

building received a book of theirchoice to take home. This is awonderful opportunity for stu-dents to add to their personallibraries and we are lucky to beable to participate in this eventeach year.

Chorus and band studentstraveled to Kennett MiddleSchool to participate in theannual Louis Fuchs concert onMarch 29. This allows studentsthe chance to perform songsthey have practiced throughoutthe year in front of a larger audi-ence. Students were excited toshowcase their talent andreturned to school at the end ofthat day with smiles on theirfaces.

Madison Elementary endedtheir Eastern Slope Ski Club skiseason at Attitash, King Pine,and Cranmore on Tuesday,March 15. The groups weresplit according to ability, withthe majority of “yellow” skiersremaining at King Pine, the

mid-level “white,” “red,” and“blue” skiers and riders going toAttitash, and the top “purple”skiers and riders going toCranmore. Each child partici-pated in a timed race, andawards were given out at aschool-wide assembly to thosekids who placed 1st, 2nd, and3rd. It was a beautiful sunny day,and students, staff, and volun-teers enjoyed the opportunity tobe outside and celebrate the endof their ski season.

The Madison PTO spon-sored a Family Dance on Friday,March 25. It was well-attendedby students and parents andeveryone who went had a won-derful time. Students lookedforward to the dance all week,and the event exceeded theirexpectations.

April has already proven to bea busy month. We look forwardto reporting out on all of theexciting activities we have doneand will be doing in April.

WMNF seeking public commentsThe White Mountain

National Forest (WMNF) isseeking public comments on aproposal to remove ResolutionShelter, located off the DavisPath within the Presidential-Dry River Wilderness. Theremoval of this shelter wouldaddress the health and safetyconcerns associated with thedeteriorating structure, as wellas bringing the Presidential-Dry River Wilderness into clos-er alignment with the values ofthe 1964 Wilderness Act andthe standards and guidelines ofthe Wilderness ManagementPlan within the 2005 Land and

Resource Management Plan ofthe White Mountain NationalForest. Additionally, the pro-posal includes closing the spurtrail to the shelter and possiblycreating a designated campsitewithin the area to accommo-date any displaced use.

“Our job is to teach the connec-tion. It is neat to see the wheelsturning, the hands on compo-nent, that’s when the connectionis made,” adds O’Hagin.

Adults can connect, too.During the weeks’ activities,adult workshops coincide withthose for the children. OnFriday April 22, Earth Day,while children learn to maketheir own seed planters out ofrecycled material, adults can jointhe farm crew to learn aboutcomposting basics.

Next week, on Monday, whilechildren are learning to churnbutter, adults can hang with thefarm crew to learn more aboutthe composting bin and how tobuild a raised bed.

On Tuesday, when childrenare cooking over the openhearth, adults can tour thegreenhouse and learn aboutgrowing heirloom varieties ofplants.

On Wednesday, children willmake mosaic vases out of feltwhile adults can join the greencleaning discussion and learn tomake natural alternatives tochemical cleaners.

On Thursday, while childrenwill be learning about historicwooden tools and how homeswere built, adults can tour thechicken coop, learn how start aflock, learn about care, shelter,food and common breeds ofchickens.

On the last day children willlearn how to make candles,which were essential in a farmhomestead, while adults cantour the greenhouse for gardenplanting tips.

All of this is affordable,including lunch. “We are tryingto market this as an affordablefamily destination. We onlycharge $3 per person or $10 perfamily,” says Sulewski. “Lunch isamazing, it is $6 for adults and$3 for children,” addsAmesquita.

Speaking of food, the muse-um held sustainable workshopsfocusing on the food of the colo-nial days. Cheese making is atraditional farmstead industry.“Cheese making workshop isalways popular and we had alarge waiting list,” says Boynton,who ran the workshop on April9. Hearthside Dinner is anotherpopular adult event, the last onewas held on April 16. Here par-ticipants learned about the birthof the Victorian Era (1831-19010) Foodways, helped pre-pare and cook on an openhearth. “Foodways is the wayfood was used in colonialhomes,” explains Boynton.

Learning for adults and chil-dren is reasonably priced andfun at the museum. “It is anaffordable way to learn here. Wecan turn anything into educa-tion,” says Boynton.

Look for more sustainableworkshops beginning in May,daily activities and summercamp beginning in July. Themuseum is open year roundMondays through Fridays 9a.m. to 4 p.m. and SaturdaysJune 18 to Sept. 3. The museumis located at 58 Cleveland HillRoad in Tamworth.

Remick Country Doctor Museum and FarmBy Rachael BrownContributing Writer

MOST MUSEUMS DIS-PLAY objects of historical orscientific interest. Most muse-ums are quiet and hands-off.The Remick Country DoctorMuseum and Farm displaysobjects of historical nature,including nature itself and isanything but hands-off. Themuseum was the inspiration of acountry doctor.

There was a time when doc-tors lived and worked in thesame community. When theycame to the patient’s home, usu-ally by wagon or sleigh. Whendoctors mixed, rolled, cut anddispensed their own medica-tions. When doctors tended to apatient’s physical and emotionalneeds, when doctors consideredthemselves servants of the com-munity.

One such doctor, EdwinCrafts Remick, like his fatherbefore him, practiced medicinein Tamworth and surroundingtowns. Before he died in 1993he set up the Edwin C. RemickFoundation leaving his home,the farm, antiques and heir-looms to be preserved to tell thestory about country doctors andthe farming way of life. Herevisitors see how the doctor lived,view his personal belongings,medical instruments, how heand others cooked and survivedoff the land: a self-sustainedexistence.

“The museum is fundamen-tally sustainable,” says ExecutiveDirector Sulewski. She explainsthat they do buy milk from localfarmers, but grow and use mostof their products, raise their ownanimals, chickens, pigs, goats,cows, sheep and heat with awood fired boiler with woodfrom their land. The museum isboth an educational institutionand a working farm.

“It [the museum] is exciting.We cover over a two hundredyear period. There are so manythings you can do in a two hun-dred year span,” says ChristianaAmesquita, public relationscoordinator. Amesquita, alongwith Karen Sulewski, executivedirector, Jamie O’ Hagin, edu-cation coordinator, and EricaBoynton, event coordinator, satdown with the Mountain Ear totell of celebrations of sustain-ability and Earth Day 2011

scheduled for school vacationweeks, the last two weeks inApril.

“This is the first year for vaca-tion week activities,” sayAmesquita. Children will expe-rience hands-on what it is like tochurn butter and taste it too,make seed planters from recy-cled materials, get a sewingbasics lesson, cook traditionalfarmstead food on an openhearth, make candles and caneven play with historic toys.

“The activities are hands-on.Some involve talking but whenkids get a chance to dip a candle,churn butter, play with historicaltoys, they remember the experi-ence. ‘I churned butter todayand it was so cool,’” saysO’Hagin.

A connection is made. “I don’tsee kids standing on the side-lines,” says Sulewski, coordina-tor of the children’s activities.

PPaassssaaggeessDeaths

R. Michael LynnRobert Michael Lynn, 62, of

Glen passed away on Saturday,April 9. He was born inSchenectady, N.Y. on June 16,1948 to Doris E. and WilliamB. Lynn. With his family, hemoved often during his youthas a necessity of his father’sposition with General Electric.Eventually the family settled inthe Dover area. It was at thistime that Mike first visitedNorth Conway and found alove for skiing and the moun-tains that would last his entirelife. Mike graduated fromTilton Academy in Tilton andattended U.N.H. before per-manently relocating to North

Conway where he launched hiscareer as a speculative builderand developer.

Mike made friends easilyand often throughout his life.With his young family, includ-ing his former wife Barbaraand sons Geoffrey andBenjamin, Mike soon becamea well-respected and popularfigure in the Mt. WashingtonValley. As a builder, Mikefound a natural talent fordesign and envisioning the fin-ished product. He was passion-ate about all aspects of hisprojects, from breakingground to the final touches. Inthe winter months when hewasn’t building, he took to theslopes, first as a member of theWildcat Mountain ski patroland later as a PSIA certified skiinstructor at the HannesSchneider Ski School atCranmore. Also, many peopleremember Mike and Barbaraas the Directors of the EasternSlope Ski Club Alpine JuniorProgram where he taughtcountless young people how toenjoy the sport he so dearlyloved.

As a father, Mike was a tire-less supporter and coach of hissons’ sports and activities. Itwas a very rare occasion thathe would miss any event in

which one of his boys was par-ticipating. Mike was a veryactive person and was alwaysup before the sun to make themost of his days. His love ofthe outdoors never dimin-ished; even after a hiking acci-dent in Crawford Notch in2003, which left him with asignificant physical challenge.Later on he would do his bestto instill his life’s passions intohis cherished grandkids. Mikewas an incredibly generousand kind man to all who wereclosest to him.

Mike was pre-deceased indeath by his son GeoffreyMichael Lynn. He leavesbehind his son Benjamin anddaughter-in-law Kasia Lynn ofSeverna Park, Md. and hisfriend and former wife BarbaraLynn of North Conway. Healso leaves his dear sister JodiElizabeth and her husband EdHickey of Glen and his broth-er William R. Lynn and part-ner Mary McEwan of Isle ofPalms, S.C. Grandchildreninclude Celia Katherine andNathaniel Orne Lynn ofNorth Conway and Daniel P.and Adam G. Lynn of SevernaPark, Md. Mike’s nieces andnephews are Alison HickeyMoore of Intervale, DebbieLynn Gallucci of Concord,

Kevin Dayton Hickey ofConway and William PhilipLynn of Chicago.

The family is very apprecia-tive of the support they havereceived from all who knewMike. A church service washeld on Friday April 15 at 1p.m. at the North ConwayCongregational Church. Inlieu of flowers, a remembrancein his name to the EasternSlope Ski Club would bemeaningful. The family wouldalso ask for anyone familiarwith his kind heart, and infec-tious laugh to keep a fondmemory of Mike close tothem.

Roberta J. SeaveyRoberta J. Seavey, 80, of

Conway died April 18 at theMemorial Hospital in NorthConway. Born in Conway, thedaughter of Reinier andYvonne (King) DeVos, she wasa lifelong resident.

Roberta had worked at theformer Birchcraft, the HeelMill, J. V. Components andCarroll Industries, all inConway. She also worked atthe former Ames and K-Mart,both in North Conway.

Springtime conditions produce a mixed bag of weatherBy Rebecca Scholand

Summit InternMount Washington Observatory

Last Tuesday the summitcelebrated Big Wind Day. OnApril 12, 1934, the MountWashington Observatoryrecorded a world-record windspeed of 231 mph. Seventy-seven years later the summitObservatory is still recordingweather waiting for the nextbig wind.

This past week we have seena variety of weather on thesummit making for an inter-esting week. We started offunder high pressure and clearskies, but quickly went backinto the fog. Wednesday a lowpressure system entered theregion giving the summits awintry mix of precipitation asthe temperatures rose to themid 30s in the night timehours. The summit received0.35 inches of liquid precipita-tion during this time. EarlyThursday morning a coldfront pushed its way into thearea allowed temperatures tofall throughout the day. ByFriday however yet anotherarea of high pressure form thenorth was pushing into thearea, lowering temperaturesand beginning to clear the fog.

This trend continued intoSaturday as the Canadian highpassed to our north and ournext low pressure systemapproached. By Saturdaynight we were in and out ofthe fog and the snow showers

began. This soon turned tosleet and then freezing rain asour temperatures rose towardfreezing. Sunday the summitremained mostly in the fogand we saw a peak wind gust of102mph from the southeast.

We remained in the fog untilMonday afternoon where wecleared for a few hours beforereturning to fog for the rest ofMonday.

With all the changingweather we experienced this

week we did experience some-thing very neat. On Saturdaythe summit was under a capcloud and the streaking cloudflowing down into the GreatGulf was a sight to see.

“Romantic and blood-streaked, and infused withmagic so real you can feel it onyour fingertips — “Deathless”is beautiful.” Fellow authorCory Doctorow said thatabout “Deathless,” the newestnovel from CatherynneValente. Valente will be atWhite Birch Books located onMain Street in North Conwayon Thursday, April 21 at 7p.m. to talk about her book.The event is free and open tothe public.

Koschei the Deathless is toRussian folklore what devils orwicked witches are toEuropean culture: a menacing,evil figure; the villain of count-less stories which have beenpassed on through story andtext for generations. ButValente has modernized andtransformed the legend to

bring the action to moderntimes, spanning many of thegreat developments of Russianhistory in the twentieth centu-ry.

“Deathless,” however, is nodry, historical tome: it lightsup like fire as the youngMarya Morevna transformsfrom a clever child of the rev-olution, to Koschei’s beautifulbride, to his eventual undoing.Along the way there areStalinist house elves, magicalquests, secrecy and bureaucra-cy, and games of lust andpower. All told, “Deathless” isa collision of magical historyand actual history, of revolu-tion and mythology, of loveand death, which will bringRussian myth back to life in astunning new incarnation.

For more informationabout the event, or to reservea copy of “Deathless,” callWhite Birch Books at 356-3200 or visit them online atwww.whitebirchbooks.com.

ALBANY BROOKFLOWS out of the BartlettExperimental Forest and itsheadwaters in Bear Notch,eventually into the Saco River.My first mission to this smallcreek was several years ago. Asmall group of us made ourway down from a put-in at oneof the tributaries that goesunder Bear Notch Road. Itwas a long and brutal process,since that stretch of the brookhad likely never seen a pad-dler, and it was small, steep,and choked with wood. Muchof our time was spent walkingaround brush piles and logs inthe stream. As more snowmeltand tiny creeks joined theflow, things picked up a bitand eventually there wasenough water that the runactually involved more pad-dling than walking. The brookspilled into a small reservoirand we portaged around thedam. From this dam on down,the run was fun, with two longslides and sustained class IIpaddling, with only one treeto walk around. Although weare unlikely to ever visit theupper reaches again, the lowerhalf was a great “introductoryto creeking” stretch of water,and I made a note to hit itagain sometime.

This last week’s rain hasbrought river levels in theValley up to a medium tohigh-medium flows. Beingshort on time, we decided torevisit Albany Brook, since itis a short walk in from BearNotch road to the top of thefirst slide. After setting shuttleon Route 302 where the smallbrook goes under the road, wehiked our boats up BearNotch Road and into theExperimental Forest. Thesnow cover was thinning, butthere was enough to drag ourboats behind us. After arrivingat the top of the first slide, wewalked down the side to checkfor wood or any other hazards,picked a line, and went for itone at a time. Ryan Mahantook lead and made his waydown, in turn setting safetyfor the rest of us. The firstslide has a blocky boulder anda short section of ledge with acrack in it. Both would wreakhavoc if a boat struck them, sosetting a proper line up at thetop is important. The longslide is shallow, making it dif-ficult to grab enough water tosteer the boat. We all made itdown fine, including DaveKenney who only has one sea-son of kayaking under his belt.

The next hour and a halfwere spent in a mix of luggingour boats around strainers andpaddling. The sections wewere able to paddle throughwere fun, with some interest-ing short stretches that gorgedup a little and required somequick moves to navigatearound boulders and punchthrough some of the biggerholes that formed at the bot-tom of the drops.

(Darron Laughland Photo)Dave Kenney nailing the line on slide one.

The second slide is thecrown jewel of the run and is amix of navigating some rocksand jets of water at the top,then a short steep ledge toslide down to a falls. The falls“auto-boofs,” the boat over afive-foot drop into the pool atthe bottom. It’s exciting, andwithout significant technicaldemands required to run atypical falls like this. We con-sidered running the slidewithout scouting, since wecould see that the slab was freeof wood, but opted to take alook at the pool at the bottom,just in case some wood hadwashed in there.

We were very disappointedto find that a snowmobile

bridge had been built over theriver, with only a foot and ahalf of clearance. Severaldozen bales of hay, planks thathad been washed off thebridge in high water, and apallet littered the stretch ofriver just below the bridge,creating some additional haz-ards for us. Although a pad-dler could possibly run theledge and make it into one ofthe two or three eddies belowit, giving them a chance to hopoff the river, the risk of wash-ing into and under the bridgeoutweighed the benefits ofrunning the falls.

On occasion we paddlersrun into man-made hazards,especially on the smaller

creeks and rivers we run. Wehave seen ropes and cables,hiking or biking bridges span-ning from bank to bank, andof course the occasional trashin local creeks. Most landown-ers we talk to never even thinkthat someone may paddle by astretch of river that borderstheir property. Most of thebridges on public land arebuilt high enough to avoid awashout, as well as some of thebetter designed ski area andsnowmobile club bridges. Itwas a good reminder for us toalways scout if there is everany doubt about what mightbe around the corner, espe-cially if there are few or noplaces to stop and get out.

Albany Brook is a beautifulstretch of river, as many hik-ers, skiers, and even snowmo-bilers and bikers who slowdown and look, have experi-enced. With the abundantspring paddling options wehave, this spot doesn’t see toomany paddlers, but the twoledges are somewhat uniqueand at a good water level andare a great entry-level intro-duction to running hardernarrower bodies of water.

AAss TThhee WWhheeeellss TTuurrnn sponsored by Red Jersey Cyclery:

In spring, it’s a question of whetherBy Peter MinnichContributing Writer

SHOULD I RIDE orshould I do something else –ski, snowshoe, hike, run, etc.Temperature and wind are themain variables that influencemy decision whether to ride ornot to ride. The marginbetween pleasant riding andpainful riding is about fivedegrees. Forty-five degreeswith a twenty-mile an hourheadwind is not pleasant; fiftydegrees with little wind is adifferent story. There’s anoth-er side to this: if I wait untilthe weather is truly warm –let’s say 60 degrees, I mightnot start riding until May.That gets me thinking aboutthe Crank the Kanc, the sea-son opener.

Thanks to the persistence ofmy good wife, who set thealarm for 5:45 a.m. on aSaturday morning, March 12,to get up and logon toBikeReg at 6 a.m., we are dulyregistered for this year’s May21 event. Rumor has it thatregistration filled up in lessthan half an hour. I still thinkof Crank the Kanc as a localevent, as it used to be. Now,serious riders come from allover New England, sportingall manner of high-tech time-trail gear. It’s a bit intimidat-ing. But I haven’t given it up.

Let me make one point

clear: I am not a racer in anymanner, shape or form. I’m atourer. I do, however, enjoy atime trial now and then, just topush myself. The Crank the

Kanc is a time trial I’ve beendoing for quite a few years,despite the fact that my timeskeep getting slower since I’vegraduated to the super grand

master category. But I still likegetting ready to Crank theKanc. Getting ready means Ihave to get out there and ride,often before I might otherwisedo so, if pleasure is the onlyconsideration. The thought ofthe Kanc inspires me to ride,even while good skiing condi-tions prevail. I set for myselfan arbitrary goal of trying toride at least 500 miles by Kanctime and to do at least one rideto top of the Kanc, preferablyover Bear Notch, if it’s open.

Last year I had no troublemeeting the expectations. Iwas out riding by March 6th,did Bear Notch Loop on April5, and rode to the top of theKanc on April 24. This yearhas been different: colder,windier, snowier. I managed acouple of short rides in mid-March, then winter cameback, and I didn’t get out againuntil April 3. Last weekend, itfinally warmed up; I got outboth days, but I still don’t havehalf the miles I had last year atthis time. No matter, I’ll makeit to the top.

On Saturday, Ken and Iparked in North Conway androde out through CenterConway. As I was riding downthe North-South Road, Inoted a slight headwind,blowing from the southeast,not unusual when warmweather arrives. Cyclists likeheading into the wind on theway out, since that may meanthey’ll have a tailwind on theway back. So, we rode southon Mill Street to the Conway-Brownfield Road. On to theSnowville Road and west toEaton, which was truly apleasant ride, as the swampsalong the road were openingup after winter and muchspring birdlife could be seenand heard. A brilliantly col-ored wood duck burst intoflight right next to the road,exciting my appreciation ofthe seasonal changes.

We coasted down the hillsto Crystal Lake, where westopped to eat our lunch. Thepicnic tables at the town beachare stacked next to the road atthe east end of the beach. Thebench on one table was usable,so we leaned our bikes againstthe cluster of maple trees andsat down to relax. Ken com-mented on the increased windblowing across the still frozenlake, a phenomenon known tosailors as “lifting” of the wind,he said. The wind was indeedlifting the few leaves on theground and the dust and sandin the beach parking lot.Suddenly, it was not just awind, but a mini-cyclone,spinning with increasing forceover the road and heading inour direction with someapparent force. This thing hadcome alive instantaneouslyand spontaneously in front ofour eyes. It outpaced my com-prehension. I stared in awe.My first thought was to rescuemy bike before the whirlingbrown cloud engulfed it. Thatthought was quickly replacedby concern for my eyes. Kendropped to the ground. Iturned my back to the windand grabbed the picnic table.As the spinning cloud sweptaround us, sand pelted thebacks of my legs and neck withstringing force.

In an instant the whirlwindwas past us and sweeping eastalong the north shore of the

AAss TThhee WWhheeeellss TTuurrnn lake. A small dead tree fell onthe road. We watched in aweas the whirling column liftedinto the big pines that line theroad, tearing off boughs andspinning them high above thetree tops. Then, it was gone.Our few plastic bags of foodhad scattered. My bike lay onits side by the trees. My mouthwas full of grit.

Anyone who rides a bicycleor a motorcycle in open coun-try, or who sails or hikes,knows the vulnerable feelingof being exposed to violentweather changes without ben-efit of substantial protection.A thunderstorm full of peltinghale is a wild and raw thing.Being awakened in middle ofthe night on the flats of Iowawith wind lashing your tentand the lightning bolts whack-ing the few trees nearby, is aprofound, primordial experi-ence. It opens a window intowhat life might have been likefor our distant ancestors, a lifefull of uncertainty and fear.The paltry dust devil we expe-rienced was really nothing onthe scale of violent weatherevents. It might have been adifferent story had we beencoasting down the hill toward

the lake when it roared up. Itwas definitely strong enoughto knock us down or hit uswith falling debris.Fortunately, we rode awayunscathed, perhaps a bit wiserabout the unpredictability ofthe natural order of weather.

A few words about roadconditions: The ConwayBrownfield Road is in goodshape, with little sand and nopotholes that we saw, on eitherside of the state line.Snowville Road is okay, withsome cracky spots thatrequired caution. Route 153 isnever a favorite mine, espe-cially early in the season. OnSaturday, traffic was brisk andthe surface broken. As analternative, we rode StarkRoad back to town, then northon West Side Road, both ingood shape. By the way, werode into a headwind on WestSide Road! So it goes.

Spring road conditions, fre-quently involving sand, lumpsof leftover road salt, andcracked and broken pavement,are best handled with what Icall “my spring bike,” a tour-ing bike with slightly fattertires and fenders that containthe corrosive debris. A spring

bike is comparable to rockskis. I do take care to hose offmy spring bike after each ride,wipe down the spokes andrims, and lube the chainbefore bringing it back inside.

On Sunday, I rode withSally west on Route 302toward Crawford Notch. Thewind was light and the shoul-ders pretty clean. If the windisn’t howling through thenotch, I enjoy the ride westfrom Bartlett Village; it’s anice steady, gentle uphill crankuntil you get to the base of thefinal pitch up into the notch.Early in the season, I go as faras I like, then turn around andhammer back downhill. As myconditioning improves, Iincrease the distance.

Speaking of CrawfordNotch, the 2nd Annual Crankthe Crawford time trial willtake place on Sept. 10. Thecourse starts at Attitash park-ing lot and heads west onRoute 302, climbing the notchto the Eisenhower pull-off, adistance of 18.8 miles with1,200 feet of elevation. This

event is a fundraiser for MWVVelo Club and the WildcatMountain Alpine EducationFoundation. Entry cost is $50per rider, if you register beforeJuly 1, $60 after that.Registration is limited to thefirst 200 entrants. Go towww.BikeReg.com to register.

And remember, the 3rdAnnual MWV Velo Club’sKid’s Bike Safety Day will takeplace at Story Land on May 8(rain day May 15), from 10a.m. to 2 p.m. Get your kids’bikes and helmets out andbring them down for a safetyinspection. Free new helmetsare available for kids who needthem. Loaner bikes will beavailable for riders whosebikes fail inspection. The bikeand helmet inspection will befollowed by a fun ride throughthe seven Safe Ride stations.Free food and raffle prizes.Bartlett Recreation will holdits “Touch the [Fire] TruckDay” at the same time. It’ll bea great day for the kids, if theweather cooperates.

The Velo will hold its spring

open house meeting onTuesday evening, April 19 atthe Moat Mountain SmokeHouse and Brewery. Everyoneis welcome to stop in and seewhat the Velo Club is allabout. For details, go towww.mwvveloclub.org.

As spring unfolds, theweather should improve.More warm days means fewerdecisions about whether toride or not to ride, and how farto go. Right now, I wonderwhether I’ll get over BearNotch in April. Got to get outand ride.

Watching the water fall after a snowy winter

After the snowywinter of 2010-11, spring is theperfect time totake the Mt.W a s h i n g t o n

Valley Waterfall Tour. In whatYankee Magazine calls "the ulti-mate rock concert," Mt.Washington Valley offers a hostof ideal locations for waterfallviewing. Those who come to seethe water fall will get a goodlook as snowmelt turns to rush-ing falls. Nowhere in NewEngland are waterfalls as abun-dant and accessible for viewing.Grab a camera and visit the fol-lowing locations for the perfectspring photo opportunity and aself-guided tour of rushing falls.

Sabbaday Falls: There arethree drops in the falls, prettypools and a pothole formed bythe swirling waters and sand.You can't swim here, but it‘s agreat spot for picnics.Directions: Take theKancamagus Highway fromConway. The Sabbaday FallsPicnic Area is about 3.5 mileswest of where Bear Notch Roadjoins the Kanc. The falls are ashort 0.33-mile hike in.

Glen Ellis Falls: The EllisRiver plunges 64 feet to thebasin below in a torrent of whitewater here. Make sure to stopand read the signs that describethe geology and history of thearea. Directions: The turn-offto the falls is 0.7 miles south ofPinkham Notch on Route 16.This is also the parking area forthe Glen Boulder and WildcatRidge Trails. A tunnel takes youto the other side of the highwaywhere you turn right to reach

the falls. It's a relatively easy0.2-mile walk to the falls.

Crystal Cascade: This is atwo-tiered spectacular fall, witha dramatic 60-foot wall of water,followed by a 20-foot plunge,ending with the river making a90-degree turn at the bottom.Directions: Park at the AMCPinkham Notch Camp and takethe path on the left of theTrading Post - the Tuckerman

Ravine Trail. The falls are a 0.3-mile walk up.

Thompson Falls: This isactually a series of falls alongThompson Brook at WildcatSki Area. The views to Mt.Washington from the highestledge are worth the trip.Directions: Take Route 16 toWildcat Ski Area. To reach thefalls, take the "Way of Wildcat"Nature Trail from the ski area's

parking lot. At the far end of thetrail loop, you'll find the path tothe falls. It's a 0.7-mile easy trekto the falls.

Arethusa Falls: Measuring inat about 176 feet, these are thehighest single falls in NewHampshire. A bonus here isBemis Brook Falls, Fawn Pooland Coliseum Falls can all bevisited at the same time.Directions: Take Route 302toward Bretton Woods andlook for Crawford Notch StatePark entrance. Turn onto apaved road just beyond the parkand park on the short side roadbelow the railroad tracks. Thetrail starts to the left of the pri-vate road above the railroadtracks and it's about 1.3 miles tothe falls (two miles if you takethe trail to Bemis Brook Falls,Coliseum Falls and Fawn Pool).

Flume Cascade & SilverCascade: These falls are easilyviewable from the car, but youcan get close for a better look.Directions: On Route 302, justbelow Crawford Notch Depot.

Ripley Falls & KendronFlume: An easy hike with swim-ming holes at the top of the fallsand pools upstream. It's notsafe, however, to climb the faceof the falls. Directions: The

Arethusa-Ripley Falls trail is offRoute 302 at the old WileyHouse station.

Jackson Falls: These are oneof the popular watering holesfor locals on a hot summer day.Easily accessible, they offerwonderful pools and small fallsto cool off under. A few picnictables nearby offer the perfectspot for a picnic. Directions:Take Carter Notch Road about3/10-mile from Route 16A inJackson.

Diana's Baths: On a fullmoon night, this is one of themost romantic places in theworld. The water supply for thearea is located above this, so noaccess is allowed above, but thisseries of small falls, and poolsoffers the perfect place to cooloff. You'll hike about a half-milein, following a well-marked trailto find them. Directions: Accessthe trailhead from West SideRoad, about a half-mile beyondthe point where West SideRoad turns toward Conway.

It'll take more than a day tosee all of Mt. WashingtonValley's spectacular waterfalls.For more information, call 1-800-DO-SEE-NH (1-800-367-3364) or visitwww.mtwashingtonvalley.org.

By David NeufeldSpecial to The Mountain Ear

IMAGINE THAT YOU arethe writer and director of a playor movie (no pressure). In thiscase, the stage is your yard andthe actors are the trees andshrubs and flowers. Generallyspeaking, your company hassome veterans, actors who havebeen around awhile but admit-tedly can play only the roles theyare used to. These are the trees.You may have one or two stub-born actors; scraggly trees,harassed by deer or ice-broken,who have lost the energy togrow) You’d like to cut themfrom the company because theymess up their (or your) lines andneed to retire but they don’tknow it.

If you’re fortunate you have atleast one stellar actor who seemsto hold the whole companytogether no matter what audi-ence shows up and now matterwhat script you throw at it. Thisis your sentinel tree or yourspecimen tree, the hallmark ofyour productions. You mighthave some young ones who arecoming up in the ranks and maysomeday challenge the veteranfor its place, but for now theyare saplings standing on thesidelines.

Next come the supportingactors, the shrubbery, as they

might be called. They requirefew lines but need some pam-pering and care to perform attheir best. Do not underesti-mate their value. There’s manythe leading actor that can creditthe best performances to theroles of the supporting actors.You may also think of groups ofsupporting actors as playing asignificant role in the unfoldingscript that you have written (orare desperately trying to writebefore the production deadline).

Then you’ve got the extras,let’s call them the color; crowdsof silent or murmuring perenni-als or annuals that give thewhole shebang flavor.Sometimes we bring in extraextras when the script needslast-minute help. This occursaround the end of June andcoincides with the clearancesales at nurseries. A drive-bypick-up of extras can be a won-

derful, curative event.No production is complete

without lighting. A perfectopening scene might include alight fog at sunrise, shafts of sun

landing on the blooming shrubs,the backdrop of forest reducedto a soft dark-green veil.Hopefully, sunset lights the gar-den with the finality of a roman-tic kiss or cathartic reunion.

Last year you launched adrama. After a bright and color-ful opening (daffodils, forsyth-ias, lilacs), the script took anominous turn as weather andsomber dialogue had the audi-ence wonder if a tragedy was instore. However the cast turnedout in the end with a rousing(and long) finale that left youinspired and exhausted.

This year it’s a mystery piece.It’s early yet. Walk around the

garden and pick up the clues.Step back inside, check thescript and perhaps make somelast-minute changes in the cast.Break a stick!
