The oil-on-canvas portrait of Anne Whitney, painted by Elizabeth Bigelow Greene before 1912, is owned by the Davis Museum at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Mass. Whitney built and greatly enjoyed her summer home in Shelburne.

Anne Whitney’s letters beingtranscribed in crowd-sourcing effortBY EDITH TUCKER

WELLESLEY, Mass. — The letters of the poet and sculptor Anne Whitney (1821-1915), an important member of artistic, literary, and political circles in her native Massachusetts, who built and owned a summer home in Shel-burne on the north side of the Androscoggin River, are being tran-scribed in a remarkable crowd-sourcing effort or-ganized by the Wellesley College Alumnae Associ-ation.

Wellesley College’s Archives, which are housed on campus at Clapp Library, holds ap-proximately 4,000 most-ly unpublished letters to and from Whitney over the course of her long life, which “con-tain richly detailed and sometimes astonishing information about the world around her,” ac-cording to an Alumnae

Association description. “But these handwritten letters are fragile, and few people have ready access to them.”

A crowd-sourced tran-

scription website was launched at the College’s most recent reunion for members of the Welles-ley community — alum-nae, faculty, staff, and

current students — seek-ing volunteers willing to transcribe these letters online. “Eventually we will release all tran-scriptions via a public website so they can be readable and searchable to all, and in this way Wellesley will be making a great contribution to our knowledge about life

in the late 19th and ear-ly 20th centuries,” reads the e-mail announce-ment.

Whitney is an espe-cially appropriate topic for Wellesley College, the Association points out, because her family knew its founders, Pau-line and Henry Durant, and she herself knew

key figures in its ear-ly years, such as Alice Freeman and George Herbert Palmer, as well as many Wellesley pro-fessors and benefactors. Whitney taught for a semester at Wellesley College, and her statue of the English reformer

Anne Whitney’s legacy rememberedBY EDITH TUCKER

[email protected]

SHELBURNE — “The Whitney Farm was orig-inally the Caleb Gates Farm next to brother Jefferson Gates farm on the east side,” writes Larry Ely from his Shel-burne-based comput-er. “The original Caleb Gates farmhouse on the property was built in 1816 and is still used as the ‘winter house.’ The Gates Cottage on Jeffer-son Gate’s farm began taking in summer board-ing guests from the Bos-ton area in the mid- to late-1800s just as the Philbrook Farm began receiving summer hik-ing guests.

“Anne Whitney was a summer guest at the Gates Cottage and pur-chased the adjoining Caleb Gates farm in the 1880s and built the Knoll house shortly thereafter, and she began spending summers at the cottage with her companion Adele Manning,” Ely ex-plains.

“The original Whit-ney Farm was composed of some 70 acres on the Androscoggin River’s intervale and about 160 acres of upland includ-ing First Mountain,” Ely continues. “Shortly before her death in 1915, Whitney transferred the farm to Charles Stone, her cousin on her moth-er’s side of the family….

Stone was one of the founders of the Stone &

Webster, an engineering firm located in the Bos-ton area.

“Charles Stone formed the Stone Farm Associates along with other family members and more prosperous Shelburne residents and began acquiring other farms in the area, in-cluding the remaining Gates Farm and the Mill-

brook Farm,” Ely writes. “This ownership eventu-ally exceeded 1,000 acres. Stone built most of the numerous barns on the original Whitney Farm property and turned the farm into a show place farm, raising Morgan horses and other live-stock.

$500,000 on G & C agenda for Neighborhood Revitalization ProjectBY EDITH TUCKER

[email protected]

BERLIN — The Gov-ernor and Executive Council are expected to approve a $500,000 Com-munity Development Block Grant (CDBG) of federal funds for the City to assist in its con-tinued implementation of its highly successful Neighborhood Revital-ization Project (NRP) at its meeting this morn-ing in Hanover. The ac-tion will authorize the Community Develop-ment Finance Authori-ty (CDFA) to award the grant, effective immedi-ately through June 30, 2016.

The project is an on-going effort by the City to improve its housing stock by strengthening the hous-ing code and its enforce-

ment, demolishing and clearing buildings that are beyond repair, and providing needed phys-ical improvements to 35 additional housing units that are occupied by low- and moder-ate-income (LMI) people in targeted downtown areas.

The grant does not require any matching funds.

The improved hous-ing units will be more energy efficient, lead safe and code compliant for homeowners who cannot afford to make these improvements on their own. The funds will be available for both landlords and homeowners.

Of the $500,000 award, $443,000 will be used for actual repairs and im-provements, with the

balance — $57,000 — for project administration ($32,000) and rehab spe-cialist services ($25,000).

Although there is no match requirement, the City agreed to look for opportunities to part-ner with the Tri-Coun-ty CAP Weatherization program.

In addition, the City has earmarked $125,000

The Holiday Center, the non-profit, non-medical, adult daycare and senior center in down-town Berlin, continued its fundraising efforts on July 10 & 11 by holding a flea market and hot dog BBQ on its outdoor patio. According to staff member Ellie Woodward of Berlin, a shrinkage in state funding requires Center users to pitch in to make up the shortfall.


Orderly activists gathered on Sunday afternoon across from the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods for a teach-in and to protest the importation of carbon-heavy Alberta tar sands into four New England states: N.H., Vermont, Maine, and Mass.


Tar sands opponents held up a sheet on which the names of the 47 victims who were directly killed on July 6, 2013, in a firestorm caused by a runaway train carrying crude oil that had been parked but then careened through Lac-Megantic, Que. until it crashed into a building where many young people were gathered in a community bar and dance hall.

Activists from 4 states protest Alberta tar sands, hold teach-in BY EDITH TUCKER

[email protected]

BRETTON WOODS — A crowd of some 100 protesters gathered on Sunday afternoon at the Ray Burton Scenic Overlook across from the Mount Washington Hotel entrance as key figures began to arrive for the 38th annual Con-ference of New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers to ask elected leaders to keep Alberta tar sands oil out of New England.

Protesters came from a variety of organiza-tions in N. H., Vermont, and Massachusetts, along with a large con-tingent from the Port-land Harbor area in Maine who arrived in a chartered bus.

Using a teach-in for-mat, speakers — ranging from college students to long-time retirees — explained that New En-gland faces the potential importation of tar sands oil in an existing Port-land-Montreal Pipe Line that runs through Ver-

mont, N. H. and Maine if its flow were to be re-versed, the proposed En-ergy East pipeline, and

other projects, including the resumption of tar

Jericho Springs on Jericho Road has opened recently where fresh produce can be purchased. Pictured here is customer Susan Gallagher of Berlin, and owners Ellen and Richard King of Berlin.

New fresh produce and seafood store now open on Jericho RoadBY JODY HOULE

Contributing writer

BERLIN – A combi-nation of fresh seafood, fresh fruits and vegeta-bles, and even taco’s and nachos can be purchased at a lot located at 111 Jericho Road. Visiting the property allows cus-tomers to purchase sea-food and produce in the former Spartan’s Gym that has been fully re-furbished, or enjoy some Tex-Mex style food sold in the parking lot.

During the weekend of July 3 through July 5 the family-owned busi-ness opened and has since flourished during a short period of time. The former Spartans weight-lifting gym now occupies two separate businesses: Jericho Springs where a variety fresh produce can be purchased, and Crabby Patty’s where fresh sea-food can be bought and ordered. In the parking lot, Cliff’s Tacos and Na-chos sells and serves hot Tex-Mex style fare.

In one half of the building, Jericho Springs, owned by Rich-ard and Ellen King of Berlin, has a large as-

sortment of fresh fruits and vegetables. Most of the products are pur-chased wholesale from Big Poppers in Littleton owned by Todd and Julie Lambert.

“He (Todd Lambert) has taken us under his wing,” said Mrs. King.

“Todd is very picky. It must pass his inspec-tion. He is a very fussy buyer and very particu-lar in his selecting,” said Mr. King.

According to the Kings, Lambert started out of his pick-up truck several years ago. He gradually moved up to a box truck, and now he works out of two semi-trailers. He picks

up his products straight off the shipping hub in Chelmsford, Mass.

The owners purchase some of the products from local gardeners as well and re-sell it. The couple encourages oth-er local gardeners to sell them some of their products as a means to expand the sales of the private gardens.

A large assortment of fresh apples, orang-es, mangos, bananas, cantaloupes, pineap-ples, peaches, plums, pears, lemons and limes, among other fruits can be bought as well as fresh lettuce, corn, to-matoes, cucumbers, on-ions, peppers, zucchini,

squash and potatoes. Some products are sea-sonal and there may be price changes depend-ing on the time of year. Pumpkins and cherries will be sold in the fall.

The couple plans to also sell milk, bread, and maple syrup in the fu-ture.

“We are working on getting some contacts,” said Mr. King.

Since the business opened less than two weeks ago, there has been a steady demand for their products.

“Business has been great,” said Mrs. King. “We are doing two trips a week for pick-up.”

“We have been bless-ed,” said Mr. King. “We like to see people’s faces when they come and see the fresh products.”

Also, the couple lives next door and they were

granted permission by the city to raise chick-ens. City code allows them to because they have a grandfathered residential-commercial land permit where there are no nearby residents and where the chick-ens are kept at a certain distance from the high-way. Every day the cou-ple handpick and wash fresh eggs that are avail-able for purchase at the store.

“You can’t get any fresher than that,” said Mr. King.

Each business is owned separately but is a combined family effort. The other half of the building occupies Crabby Patty’s owned by Patty King of Berlin. She sells a variety of fresh seafood and she said that business has been great for her as well.

While standing be-hind the water tank hold-ing four live red lobsters of different sizes moving about, Patty King said during an interview that she nearly sold out of lobsters on that day.

“Earlier today the tank was half full. By this afternoon I am down to four lobsters left,” she said.

The seafood is pur-chased wholesale in Maine. Besides what is readily available, cus-tomers can pre-order. Available for purchase and orders are live lob-sters, fresh scallops, shrimp rolls, clams, crabby cakes, and clam cakes. Also, the store is not limited to just those products. Mrs. King said she can get just about anything pre-ordered

Fabyan Guard Station restoration underway

Photo by edith tucker

Environmental educator Elvira Sanchez of Cuidad, Spain, came across the Atlantic to work on a HistoriCorps project, spon-sored by the WMNF, to restore the historic 1923 Fabyan Guard Station in Carroll, near Bretton Woods, built back in the days when the Forest was managed from Gorham.


Hard-hatted volunteers worked on Wednesday, July 9, to replace a rotted sill with a recently cut and peeled red spruce log on Wednesday, July 9, after the 1923 Fabyan Guard Station had been jacked up and foundation stones temporarily removed.

BY EDITH TUCKER

[email protected]

CARROLL — Res-toration of the histor-ic 91-year-old Fabyan Guard Station on Old Cherry Mountain Road began on Monday, July 7, thanks to HistoriCorps and the sponsorship of the White Mountain Na-tional Forest (WMNF). The project will likely take three weeks to com-plete.

The work is being done by a team led by historic preservation experts, including Sar-ah Jordan, WMNF Ar-chaeologist and Heritage Program Manager and HistoriCorps project supervisor John Rossi of the Boston area, and volunteers from New Hampshire and more distant places, plus veterans learning new skills.

Its mission is to im-prove the 16- by 20-foot single-room log cabin, making it safe and suit-able for any future uses that may be proposed.

Those who live far away are camping out in an established campsite up the road; a large tent serves as a dining hall and a cook is on site.

Repairs include six major elements: putting stone foundation piers in place; replacing the first and possibly the sec-ond tier of rotted sill logs with peeled red spruce logs harvested nearby; chinking and daubing the replacement logs; re-setting the granite door-step; improving drain-age; and rehabilitating or replacing the door and windows, which were vandalized last winter.

The Fabyan Guard Station, built in 1923, is one of the oldest struc-

Krol, who has been a winter caretaker at Grey Knob, Brian Behr of Tamworth, trail crew leader Ethan Denny of Athens, Ga., Sarah Allen of Nashville, Tenn., and trail crew leader Jordan Cargill of Intervale. Fruit punch with lemon sherbet as well as lemon squares, brownies and cookies were served, and RMC vice pres-ident Bill Arnold of Randolph welcomed everyone in the absence of RMC president John Scarinza who was on a delayed honeymoon in Alaska with his bride, Jenn Barton-Scarinza, both of Randolph.

PSNH President-COO Bill Quinlan, left, met Thursday with line-workers, including Andre Desmaris of Berlin, at the Jericho Road work center in Berlin. After 8 months on the job, Quinlan admires the company’s culture, especially employees’ commitment to community and customer service. The $12 million substation replacement project at Community Field includes installing at least 100 new pole sets to beef up reli-ability.

PSNH president reaches out, seeks broad support for Northern Pass

BY EDITH TUCKER

[email protected]

BERLIN — Public Ser-vice of New Hampshire (PSNH) President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) William “Bill” Quinlan spent time in Berlin and Coös County on Thursday, July 10, as part of his planned pub-lic outreach and as well as fulfilling his desire to meet PSNH employees at as many worksites as possible.

Quinlan, who as-sumed his new responsi-bilities in Oct. 2013 after a 29-year career with PSNH’s parent company Northeast Utilities, met with two reporters over lunch at the Northland Dairy Bar.

A native of New Ha-ven, Conn., Quinlan earned a B.S. in Mechan-ical Engineering in 1982 at Villanova University in Penn., and an MBA in 1989 from the University of New Haven and a law degree (J.D.) in 1992 as a night-school student at UConn’s School of Law.

Northeast Utilities (NU), which is now head-quartered in Hartford, Conn. and Boston, Mass., operates New England’s largest energy delivery company. According to its website, NU and its companies are commit-

ted to safety, reliability, environmental leader-ship and stewardship, as well as expanding en-ergy options for its more than 3.5 million electric and natural gas custom-ers in Conn., Mass. and New Hampshire.

Only 500,000 of these customers live in the Granite State.

Energy consolidation through mergers and acquisitions, such the NU-NSTAR (formerly Boston Edison) merger,

is a continuing trend in the utilities industry as greater efficiencies are sought to lower cus-tomers’ costs, Quinlan pointed out. But, he said, NU is made up of centu-ry-old companies, each of which has its own rich history.

PSNH, a well-estab-lished and well-run com-pany, has been highly thought of, particularly for its customer service, its new president ex-plained.

Over the last eight months, Quinlan has been impressed with PSNH’s culture. “Em-ployees are not only technically qualified and capable but also have a high commit-ment to the community – a sense of commitment to the needs of custom-ers,” Quinlan said. “It’s unique in a good way.”

Employees often serve on nonprofit boards and are involved in their communities, sometimes providing in-kind services.

To help meet environ-mental and other socie-tal goals, PSNH has pro-moted renewable power, including wind power, its own 50-megawatt bio-

mass plant at Schiller Station, and solar panels at Energy Park in Man-chester.

“We don’t want to lose our uniqueness,” Quin-lan said, adding that NU looks to see which company under its um-brella has developed a Best Practice that is the most efficient, low cost and customer friendly. “There’s no predeter-mined way to do things, and we’ve preserved a lot of local decision-mak-ing authority.”

Corporate functions, such as legal services, buying equipment and goods and services, are apt, however, to be done in an across-the-board way to realize the syner-

gies that come from hav-ing a larger platform, he said. “We’re looking for greater efficiencies, but without losing our uniqueness or harming our relationships with customers.”

When asked wheth-er it is now time for stakeholders to sit down around a table to discuss the proposed 1,200-mega-watt Northern Pass Transmission project, Quinlan replied, “Yes. Northern Pass is needed not only for New Hamp-shire but for New En-gland.”

The Conservation Fund buys 30,000 acres in 4 states

BY EDITH TUCKER

[email protected]

ARLINGTON, Va. — The Conservation Fund (TCF) bought 30,000 acres of working forest held by Yankee Forest LLC in four Northern Forest states — N. H., Vermont, (central) New York, and (western) Maine on May 5 from Wagner Forest Manage-ment of Lyme, accord-ing to Brian Dangler of Chapel Hill, N.C., Direc-tor of the Working For-est Fund — a program of The Conservation Fund.

Dangler did not dis-close the purchase price.

One third of the pur-chase — 10,000 acres — is located in N. H.’s three northern counties: Coös, Grafton, and Carroll.

Another 4,000 acres are located in western Maine, including Upton.

“We’ve been working on acquiring this acre-age for several years on terms that would be mutually acceptable to Wagner and TCF,” Dan-gler explained. There are many parcels, some quite small, he said, and TCF sought to buy them all in bulk rather than individually.

LandVest forester David Degruttola is now sustainably managing the acreage TCF bought in the three New En-gland states from his West Bethel, Me., office. His responsibilities in-

clude recreation man-agement, roads main-tenance, and timber harvesting.

There are a number of in-holdings with-in the Proclamation Boundary – mostly 40 to 80 acres in size — in both the 800,000-acre White Mountain Nation-al Forest (WMNF) and the 400,000-acre Green Mountain National For-est (GMNF) that Forest

Supervisors have long hoped to acquire, and over time the TCF will help seek funding so that they can be bought from willing sellers and all absorbed into these two National Forests.

Other tracts will also be sold to appropriate buyers.

The height of summer

Summer is flying by so rap-idly that before we know it the first day of school and the Lancaster Fair will be upon us. Depending on which dis-trict your children go to the first day of school will be the week of the fair, or the week after—the first week of Sep-tember, right after Labor Day.

Summer in the North Coun-try is short and fall comes quickly. Too soon the nights will be chilly followed by the days. The smell of wood smoke will soon be drifting from chimneys. While we love the smell of the first fire of the heating season we’re not looking to rush things! To every thing there is a season.

Many people already have their wood stacked for win-ter but there are many others still working on that. Winter lasted so long this year it was hard to get motivated to start thinking about next year’s heating season.

Enough of those doom and gloom thoughts about cold weather. It’s still summer—go to the Weathervane or Jean’s Playhouse, Santa’s Village or the Cog but get out there while it lasts because before you know the first snow will be flying.

John harrigan

Two horses (nags, hay-burners) on a hardscrabble hill. This is part of where I live, clouds scud-ding over the landscape toward the southeast, and horses galloping all around.

I’ve always been cap-tivated by clouds. Kids add to that by imagining formations, in cumu-lous clouds especially. “See that, Dad?---a bear!” To me it might be a pig. Same family, same thing, in French: “Co-chons des bois,” pigs of the woods.

In my case the high cumulous clouds become galleons, and I’m by no means the first person to write this and indeed perhaps have been pro-grammed to do so by the innumerable books I’ve read about the days of sail, when clouds were studied intensely and meant something oth-er than a bother during commuter gridlock.

The more compelling of these epics, for me, have involved people marooned from whaling and seal-hunting ships, some surviving by in-credible ingenuity, some not.

After getting out of the sheep business, a fun and educational expe-rience (Economics 101), and getting out of hay-ing (ditto), I’ve had more than the usual entertain-ment watching clouds. There is no longer any real economic risk. It be-comes fun.

The other night one hell of a parade of thunderstorms rolled through. The power went out. So I went room to room lighting lan-terns, which are always filled and wick-clipped (twice a year) and ready. This is why I do not have or want or need a gener-ator, although keeping

two five-gallon pails in the downstairs bath-room, to flush with, does not meet the standards of the New York Times Home Section decor. Well, fie on them.

There is this fixation with generators. The need versus cost is often overlooked but deeply imbedded in the mind. My camp, two hours away (half of it on foot, and 500 feet higher), has utterly no alleged mod-ern conveniences. We could haul a small gen-erator in when the snow-pack collapses into con-crete in March, but no way, not on my watch. There is really no need, much less want.

Insofar as the house in Colebrook, elevation 1,550 or so, is concerned, it becomes an equation involving time out of power versus the cost of installing a generator, on the slab of concrete I left room for when in-stalling, 20-plus years ago, my outdoor 3-foot-wood-fired furnace, one of the best moves I’ve ever made (the wood fur-nace, not the space for a generator).

The next morning the front porch was in dis-array, its components (chiefly chairs, includ-

ing two very well worn canvas fold-up chairs from my years on New Hampshire Public Tele-vision) blown off toward Maine. (Hint to New Hampshire Public Tele-vision: You owe me. I want two more chairs.)

After the storm, the horses grazed unfazed. They are much calmer than some people, which is why a good horse woman or good horse man can approach, and with the right motion and soothing words and above all a gentle and knowing touch, can pick up a hoof to clean the frog, peel, shave, scrape, smooth and shoe, with-out the horse’s least anx-iety or discomfort.

I’ve watched a friend, Paul Kuhn, do this. He is mighty fine around hors-es, one of the best I’ve seen. He should get out of the Border Patrol and go on the road across the northern New En-gland territory, because the people who have his knowledge and knack are dwindling, and peo-ple who love their hors-es will pay for the right skills. Ask anyone in the Horse World about this. He is that good at caring for hooves and fitting shoes exactly right, and

this comes from a guy (me) who knows horses, and good farriers.

My brat sister Mary is in the Arabian Horse business in Connecticut, big time, with husband Pat boarding and train-ing and showing Ara-bian horses all over the continent (Trowbridg-esLtd.com). She literally started out feeding one end of horses and shov-eling out from under the other, for other people---a barn brat. She and her clients have won the Canadian and U.S. Na-tionals too many times to recount. I’m so proud of her, but would never tell her that.

Somehow I thought about all this, and the timeless aspect of it, as I looked at two horses in their absolute ideal envi-ronment, grazing under the sailing clouds, on to the next bunch of fresh green grass.

White Mountains Community College to offer Quick Admit Days in July and August

LITTLETON—In an effort to help expedite the application process for prospective students, White Mountains Com-munity College is offer-ing Quick Admit Days in July and August. Quick Admit Days are simply one stop shop-ping for students inter-ested in applying for the fall 2014 semester. Pro-spective students are en-couraged to bring their high school transcripts or GED scores and any other college transcripts along with a completed application, July 9 and 16 and August 6 and 13, anytime between 3 and 6 pm and we will waive the $20 dollar applica-

tion fee. Interested stu-dents will have the op-portunity to speak with an admissions counsel-or, tour the facility, and begin the financial aid process.

Angela Brown to be nominated for N.H. State Council on the ArtsBY EDITH TUCKER

[email protected]

HANOVER — Angela Brown is on the list to be nominated today by Gov. Maggie Hassan to the N. H. State Council on the Arts, a 15-member advi-sory board that meets from four to six times a year. A nomination is ordinarily confirmed by a vote of the Executive Council at its next meet-ing, in this case, Tues-day, Aug. 5.

The State Arts Coun-cil was established in 1965 as the official state arts agency with legisla-tion designed “to insure that the role of the arts in the life of our commu-nities will continue to grow and play an ever more significant part in the welfare and educa-tional experience of our citizens.”

Brown became a cer-tified music practitioner last month through the Music for Healing and Transitions Program (MHTP.org) and served internships using her compact keyboard at both the Androscoggin Valley Hospital and Coös County Nursing Home, both in Berlin. “Playing

prescriptive music at the bedside in health care settings is extremely re-warding,” she explained. Also a fiddler, she may in the future also seek to become a certified prac-titioner on that instru-ment.

Brown began taking piano lessons 40 years ago, and for the past 35 years has shared her love of music by playing for church services and accompanying commu-nity and school choruses as well as at the Gorham Community Learning Center. She has also taught piano lessons to children and adults for the last 18 years.

Brown is a board member of Music in the Great North Woods, serving as both a graph-ic artist and archivist, starting in 2009.

Since 2003, Brown has worked as a precer-tification specialist for Hamilton Dermatology

of Alpharetta, Ga. Brown and her hus-

band, Dr. Charles Brown, a pathologist who serves a number of area hospi-tals under the aegis of the Dartmouth-Hitch-cock Clinic, have two children: 15-year-old Autumn, who is a soph-

omore at Gorham High School; and Zane, a 2014 GHS graduate who will soon start his freshman year at Brigham Young University-Idaho.

The Browns have lived in New Hampshire for 14 years.

Brown graduated in

1986 from Hobbs High School in Hobbs New Mexico. She earned a B.S. in

Family Science, mag-na cum laude, in April, 1990, at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

merous large and small treasures scoured from members’ attics, barns and cellars, along with three exciting regional trips, top the bill at the White Mountain Garden Club Auction on Sun-day, July 20, from 4 to 8 p.m. at The Rocks Estate in Bethlehem.

determined by the bid-der; and a long weekend in Montreal at the Queen Elizabeth.

“This is our only an-nual fund raiser, and the proceeds go to local institutions,” said auc-tion coordinator Win-nie Ward of Jefferson. “We invite people from around the area to come out for a good time, dis-

cover some items they can’t live without, and help support the Garden Club’s projects.”

Auctioneer Steve Bis-sonnette of Whitefield will wield his gavel as the bidding gets under-way. A $5 donation is suggested at the door. Food and wine will be served throughout.

Organizations that

will benefit from the auc-tion proceeds include Copper Cannon Camp in Franconia; 4-H of Coos and Grafton counties; New Hampshire Youth Services; Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust; Weeks State Park; and town beautification in Franconia, Sugar Hill, Lancaster and White-field.

Bear Encounters Begin Early on the White Mountain National Forest

CAMPTON— Hu-man encounters with black bears on the White Mountain National Forest usually begin in late June. This year we have already begun to see an increase with bear incidents report-ed in campgrounds and in the backcountry. One report stated that a bear attempted to en-ter a tent while another was searching the back of pick-up trucks look-ing for food. Although many visitors and camp-ers never encounter a bear, the Forest is their home and bears can quickly become habitu-ated to human food. Im-properly stored food not only attracts bears to people currently camp-ing at a site, but lets the bear know that it can find food at that camp-site in the future. The bear may return to the site when other families are recreating there. It is vital that you keep a clean campsite to ensure bears and other animals don’t forage for your food!

Be sure to properly store all food, includ-ing drink containers, condiments like ketch-up and mustard, and empty food wrappers. Too many times, visi-tors believe they have

stored their food safely, but in reality have left it within a bear’s reach. Read the rules and signs about bears posted at campgrounds and trail-heads, and follow the instructions on how to properly store food. Free bear canister rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis at all of our offices and visitor centers. Bears that get too used to people may have to be trapped and relocated or even killed. Remember, “A fed bear is a dead bear.”

The feeding of bears, intentional or uninten-tional, is prohibited on the White Mountain Na-tional Forest. FS person-nel are increasing com-pliance patrols for food storage in areas where bears have been sight-ed. Visitors who fail to store food properly may be issued warnings or fined depending on the circumstances.

It is your responsibil-ity to ensure your safety and that of future camp-ers by not purposefully or inadvertently feeding bears. So remember:

Always keep a clean camp.

Don’t leave any food (including condiments) out when not in use.

Store food in bear-re-sistant units, hard-

shelled vehicles or car trunks.

Keep sleeping areas, tents, and sleeping bags free of food and odor (like toothpaste or de-odorant).

Don’t sleep in clothes you cooked or handled fish or game in.

Never bury or burn food waste.

If camping in the backcountry, hang you food bag at least 10 feet off the ground and 5 feet out from a tree limb that could support a bear, or better yet pack and use bear resistant contain-ers.

If possible, in back-country areas, place sleeping tents at least 100 yards away from food storage and cook-ing areas.

For information about the White Moun-tain National Forest http://www.fs.usda.gov/whitemountain In-formation is also avail-able on informational kiosks and from camp-ground hosts.

Dentists Hartzler & Jackson Join North Country Dental

NORTH COUNTRY— Bringing a passion for dentistry to the North Country, Dr. Mark Hart-zler and Dr. Lindsey Jackson have joined North Country Dental out of their Gorham of-fice.

Hartzler and Jackson are both Boston Univer-sity graduates who grew up in Massachusetts and decided to relocate to the White Mountains area of New Hampshire after completing their dental degrees.

“I have always loved the White Mountains, and I was excited to find

a job in the area,” said Hartzler. He joined the practice first and then Jackson followed after working in the Boston area for a short period of time following gradu-ation.

“I always wanted to be a dentist and knew I was going to be a dentist when I was growing up,” Jackson said, noting she enjoys living and work-ing in the Granite State. “This has been a really good move. We love it up here.”

G O R H A M — T h e White Mountain Nation-al Forest, Androscoggin Ranger District is host-ing a special exhibition this summer that delves into the history of the Northern Forest of New Hampshire, Maine, Ver-mont and New York. Ex-hibits from the Northern Forest Center’s mobile forest heritage muse-um, Ways of the Woods: People and the Land in the Northern Forest, are already on display and open to the public at the Androscoggin district visitors’ center.

“Visitors really en-joyed the exhibit over the winter, so we’re de-lighted to make it avail-able during our busy summer months,” said Katie Stuart, Androscog-gin District Ranger. “We hope that people will take this opportunity to not only view the ex-hibits, but take the time to learn more about the White Mountain Nation-al Forest.”

The exhibits include educational kiosks, arti-facts and children’s ac-tivities that help people explore the ever-chang-ing relationships be-tween people and land across the Northern For-est of northern Maine, New Hampshire, Ver-mont and New York. The exhibit is organized on the themes of industry, adventure, conservation and recreation and in-cludes artifacts ranging from original Oval Wood dishes to the spiked boots of a logger.

Several of the exhibits are tailored for hands-on fun that will entertain and inform school-age children and anyone with an inquisitive out-look. The exhibits will be on display through April at the visitor center, 300 Glen Road, Gorham, which is open Monday through Fri-day, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. More than 130,000 people toured the exhibit during a four-year tour of fairs and festivals across the Northern Forest. Now the Northern Forest Center—a non-profit or-

ganization that serves the 30-million-acre, 4-state region—is part-nering with colleges, museums and other or-ganizations that will use Ways of the Woods as an anchor for their own programming and edu-cational activities. “The White Mountain Nation-al Forest draws millions of visitors every year,” said Mike Wilson, senior program director for the Northern Forest Center. “The exhibit helps vis-itors understand how closely the local com-munities are tied to the forest, and local people will be able to explore how much they share with other communities

across the Northern For-est.”

The Northern Forest Center helps create eco-nomic opportunity and community vitality from healthy working forests in Maine, New Hamp-shire, Vermont and New York. More information about the Northern For-est Center’s programs is online at www.northern-forest.org.

Within a day’s drive of 70 million people, the 800,000-acre White Mountain National For-est lies within northern New Hampshire and western Maine. Rugged mountain peaks (includ-ing Mt. Washington), fragile alpine zones,

spectacular fall foliage, clear mountain lakes and streams, and a mul-tifaceted heritage char-acterize the Forest. This dramatic landscape, with its 1200 miles of hik-ing trails, scenic driving tours, and opportunities to view wildlife, camp, ski, snowmobile, and bike, has made the White Mountains a destination for people seeking a vari-ety of recreational expe-riences for generations.

26th Annual Wildman BiathlonSHELBURNE— It’s

time for the twen-ty-sixth annual Wild-man Biathlon, one of the toughest multi-sport events in New England, scheduled for Saturday, August 9th at 8 a.m., rain or shine.

So here is the call for all runners and bi-cyclists to shift their training schedules into high gear and get their registrations for this amazing event!

Athletes from all over the United States, Canada and some years even other countries, come to New Hamp-shire’s White Moun-tains to compete as an individual or as teams in the Wildman. For twenty-five years now athletes have been chal-lenging their endur-ance amid some of the most spectacular scen-ery in the Northeast. The Wildman Biathlon consists of a 10-K run in

the picturesque town of Shelburne, a 22.3 mile bicycle trek through Gorham towards a 3-mile hill climb up the Polecat ski trail to the finish line at the sum-mit of Wildcat Moun-tain, a presenting spon-sor, located in Pinkham Notch.

The race begins with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. The winners usually cross the finish line about two hours and fifteen minutes later. Though many individ-ual competitors com-plete the entire race, many others choose to combine their abili-ties as two-person and three-person teams. The entry fees for the 2014 Wildman Biathlon are $55 for an individ-ual, $110 for a two-per-son team, and $165 for a three-person team. This price goes up by $10 per person after July 31, and entries re-

ceived the 8th and 9th of August are an addition-al $25 per person. The entry fee includes a lim-ited edition Wildman T-shirt, a ride down from the summit on the Wildcat Mountain Sce-nic Gondola, a support person Gondola ticket, and one meal ticket for the “après-race” meal. Additional meal tick-ets and Gondola tickets are available for pur-chase at registration if needed. Categories are available for all ages and team config-urations. Overall and category winners re-ceive commemorative awards, and numerous other prizes are award-ed through random drawings.

The Wildman Bi-athlon is a fundraising event for the Coos Coun-ty RSVP, a Tri-County CAP sponsored pro-gram. RSVP matches individuals age 55 and

older with volunteer op-portunities at non-prof-it and public agencies in their communities. Our corps of 375 volun-teers gave more than 57,000 hours of service at 56 sites throughout Coos County last year. Through a variety of service roles, these vol-unteers are helping to meet community needs. We’re looking forward to a banner year which brings hundreds of peo-ple to our area to experi-ence pieces of the Great North Woods. Visit our webpage www.tccap.o r g / w i l d m a n . h t m t o view information about the Wildman and our sponsors. For more in-formation about RSVP or how you can be-come a sponsor, contact Kathy or Nancy at 752-4103 or e-mail [email protected] or write to Coos County RSVP, 30 Ex-change Street, Berlin, NH 03570.

tures built by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) on the WMNF and is the last remaining example of a Guard Station on the Forest.

After the WMNF was created following pas-sage of the Weeks Act of 1911, activities were managed out of an office in Gorham, a difficult location because of its distance to newly ac-quired parcels, accord-ing to a WMNF handout and its website. Travel in the 1920s was largely by train and then on foot or horse, and road travel was difficult in the win-ter.

To reduce travel time, the USFS stationed its Forest Guards, whose duties included protect-ing the forest, super-vising timber harvests, scaling logs, fighting for-est fires, stringing phone lines, and maintaining trails and campgrounds, in strategically locat-ed remote cabins year-round, Jordan pointed

out during a Wednesday morning site visit.

One of the first to be constructed, the Fabyan Guard Station, deliber-ately located near the Fabyan Railroad Station in Bretton Woods, was built by Clifford L. Gra-ham, who later in his career became a noted WMNF Supervisor.

The Cherry Moun-tain Road first went into operation as part of the Jefferson, linking Jeffer-son and Lancaster and the 10th New Hampshire Turnpike with access to Portland, Me.

The Jefferson Turn-pike survives today as a seasonal USFS road. It’s likely the longest intact piece of 19th century turnpike in the state.

In 1923, Graham used native red spruce logs cut on site to build the small cabin. The walls were chinked with oa-kum and fitted with scribed wood slats be-tween the round logs, notched at both ends.

The cabin had two bunks and a wood cook stove; water was ta-ble from an unnamed stream out back. A horse corral and barn were lo-cated across the road.

The Fabyan Guard Station is one of the old-est remaining guard stations in the eastern U. S. and serves as an example of the skills of early USFS employees. Its close association with Clifford Graham is also an important aspect of the cabin’s history and significance.

The structure is eli-gible for listing on the National Register of His-toric Places. There was an effort a few years ago to put it on the “Seven to Save” list of the N. H. Preservation Alliance. Although unsuccessful, the publicity drew need-ed attention to this im-portant site.

The USFS likely will install one or more signs near the cabin, designed to explain its historic significance.

It already is one of the stops on the Weeks Act Legacy Trail, a mul-timedia driving tour of the WMNF guiding vis-itors to 40 sites across 100 miles in a way that connects them to the past, present and future of the nearly 800,000-acre resource, located in both N.H. and Maine.

Generous sponsorships from North Country businesses and individuals allowed Above the Notch Junior Golf Tour volunteer director Jeff Atkinson of Lancaster to buy handsome trophies for the winners of this summer’s revived tour, which kicks off this morning at the Bethlehem Country Club.

First match in Above the Notch Junior Golf Tour is today BY EDITH TUCKER

[email protected]

BETHLEHEM — The first of the six golf matches that make up the Above the Notch Ju-nior Golf Tour will be-gin at 8:30 this morning, July 16, at the Bethle-hem Country Club.

“Nineteen golfers have downloaded the registration forms on the website (www.abt-njuniortour.com), with some also telephoning or e-mailing me (631-2662 or [email protected]),” said tour director Jeff Atkinson of Lancaster, a PGA apprentice who volun-teered to revive a golf tour for Coös and Graf-ton youth.

He emphasized, how-ever, that walk-ins are welcome.

A 2009 graduate of WMRHS and a 2013 SNHU graduate, Atkin-

son is working this sum-mer as first assistant golf pro under Director of Golf John Pawlak, PGA professional at the Omni Mount Washing-ton Resort in Bretton

Woods.“The Above the Notch

Golf Tour is organized into two brackets of as-piring junior golfers — ages 12 to 14 and 15 to 17 – who will compete for

points five regular tour-naments, concluding with the Tour Champi-onship at season’s end at 10 a.m. on Aug. 19 at the Omni Mount Washing-ton Resort & Golf Club.

Each match costs $10 a player, with lunch in-cluded.

The Tour’s schedule includes Maplewood at 8:30 a.m. on July 23 at the Maplewood, Waum-bek Golf Course at noon on July 30 in Jefferson, Owl’s Nest Resort and Golf Club at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 6 in Thornton, St. Johnsbury Country Club at noon on Aug. 12.

Atkinson said at a Wednesday morning in-terview on the terrace of the Grille restaurant on the Grande Dame’s that he has been thrilled with the number of North Country businesses that have sponsored the tour, designed to support local youth and golf: North Country Ford, Double Jack Nicklaus Sponsor ($500); Woods Guaranty Bank — North Country, A.B. Logging &

Excavating, Inc., of Lan-caster, Linwood Real Estate of Lincoln and Littleton, and Shippee Family Eye Care of Lan-caster, all Jack Nicklaus Sponsors ($200); Ber-lin City Auto Group of Berlin-Gorham, Carl and Sandra Ramsdell of Maidstone, Bethlehem Village Store, George M. Stevens and Son In-surance of Lancaster, First Colebrook Bank of Colebrook, Roy Apple of West Palm Beach, Fla. and David and Sharon Atkinson of Lancaster, all Arnold Palmer Spon-sors ($100), and W.W. Berry Transportation of Lisbon and NIPRO-P.J. Noyes of Lancaster, both Bobby Jones Sponsors ($50).

These sponsorship dollars have allowed At-kinson to buy trophies. “Sponsors have been su-per-helpful,” the young golfer explained. “Spon-sors are an essential for something like this; all of them realize that at-tracting and retaining the interest and enthusi-

asm of youth is essential to the sport’s future.”

In addition, Title-ist generously donated First and Second Place prizes of Pro V1 golf balls for each tourna-ment, complete with the Above the Notch logo.

Atkinson said that his volunteer efforts have brought him into con-tact with some younger players, such as Matt Kopp, Matt Arno, and Jacob Wood, with whom he has now played.

Atkinson explained that he feels very fortu-nate to have discovered his passion and that working at the Resort al-lows him to play a lot of golf, even on his days off.

The Resort was host to the New Hampshire PGA Pro-Lady Champi-onship on Monday with over 25 PGA golf pro-fessionals and 75 female Granite State golfers on hand.

In 2015, the Resort is scheduled to host the New Hampshire State Amateur Champion-ship.

Harriet Martineau was a focal point of College Hall before the building was destroyed 100 years ago in a devastating fire in 1914.

Thanks to Friends of the Library funds, hun-dreds of Whitney’s let-ters have been digitized, from correspondents ranging from her fami-ly and Wellesley friends to well-known contem-porary figures: author Louisa May Alcott, artist Harriet Hosmer, suffrag-ist Caroline Healey Dall, and abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison.

North Road landown-er Larry Ely, who with his wife Ginger Lawson has played a significant role in establishing the First Mountain Con-servation Easement, is excited by the prospect that there will be public access to Whitney’s let-ters, once transcribed.

“I have always want-ed to look at Anne Whit-ney’s letters and docu-ments, particularly as they relate to her sum-mer life at the Whitney Farm (in Shelburne),” Ely explained in an e-mail exchange. “I be-lieve she was an early environmentalist and would be happy with the conservation ease-ment on First Mountain, which was part of her original farm.”

Anne Whitney’s hold-ings and involvement in the town are described

the “Land Holdings” section of the town’s his-tory — “Shelburne New Hampshire: Its First Two Hundred Years — 1769-1969,” Second Edi-tion (1988).

“On the north side of the (Androscoggin) River a noted Boston sculptress, Miss Anne Whitney, purchased a part of the Gates prop-erty in 1883 and built a

summer home on the knoll from which Starr King described the view (in 1864): ‘How grand and complete is the landscape that stretch-es before us as we look up the river seven or eight miles to the base of Madison and to the bulk of Washington, whose majestic dome rises over two curving walls of rock that are set be-

neath it like wings! Seen in the afternoon light, the Androscoggin and its meadows look more lovely than on any por-tion of the road between Bethel and Gorham, and more fascinating than any piece of river-scen-ery it has ever been our fortune to look upon in the mountain-region.’”

The Shelburne histo-ry notes, “Although her

holding were not large at the start, the Whitney Farm became the nu-cleus for the extensive property acquired by Charles Stone some 30 years later. Miss Whit-ney also bought sizeable acreage near Lead Mine Bridge.” Whitney had both a mill and connect-ing “tenement house” that marred the view removed and then gave

the property to the Appa-lachian Mountain Club.

The AMC, in turn, “deeded this and other land on the north side of the bridge which Miss Whitney had given them to the State of New Hampshire, which now owns some 200 acres (Leadmine State Forest) in this section of town,” the town history reports.

“Stone’s niece, Mar-ian Stone Hince (Mrs. Hugh), inherited the property from her un-cle and began selling off larger parts of the expanded Stone Farm Associates ownership, but kept the original Whitney Farm large-

ly intact,” he explains. “Hince transferred own-ership of the Whitney Farm and the remaining Stone Farm Associates land holdings in 1984 to her niece, Anne Rantoul Conner of Woodstock, Vt.

“Ownership of the

Whitney Farm by Whit-ney’s relatives ended in 1994 when Ginger and I bought the First Moun-tain upland, and in 1995 when Bill and Bobbi Weichert acquired the intervale farm portion,” Ely recalls. “The farm’s buildings were in pretty

bad shape, with the Knoll house roof collapsed and the fields overgrown. The Weicherts lovingly restored The Knoll to its original 1880s condition along with the many oth-er buildings.”

Anne Whitney repu-tation as an important

American sculptor re-mains intact. Her mar-ble statue of Revolution-ary War patriot Samuel Adams is located in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the U.S. Capitol, and a bronze sculpture, based on that earlier marble version,

stands in Faneuil Hall Plaza in downtown Bos-ton. Her striking statue of Leif Eriksson, sculpt-ed in 1887, stands on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston’s Back Bay. Many of her other works remain in the collections of major U. S. museums.

sand oil rail tankers hauled by railroad loco-motives that some call “bomb” trains.

A minute of silence was held for the 47 peo-ple who died as a direct result of an horrific fire started by a runaway “bomb” train in Lac-Me-gantic, Que. The crowd learned that a 48th per-son, a firefighter who had to deal directly with the death of his fiancée, took his own life follow-ing the tragedy.

Several protesters held up a long banner

on which all the names of these firestorm vic-tims were on display.

“We are calling on our elected leaders to implement a regional clean fuels standard to keep tar sands oil out of our energy mix, and we are asking them to op-pose projects that would move dirty tar sands through the region,” said Glen Brand of the Sierra Club. “State and regional leaders have not adequately ad-dressed the threat of tar sands oil.”

Last month, 25 groups wrote a letter to Governor Maggie Hassan along with the other New England Governors and East-ern Canadian Premiers asking them to take action to address the carbon intensity of the region’s fuels as well as the threat of tar sands crude oil being trans-ported through the region. Although tar sands is not on the Con-ference agenda, Hassan replied, saying that she would direct her rep-

resentatives who serve on committees to raise these issues in the com-ing year and that she is interested in devel-oping tools to track the percentage of carbon in the region’s fuels.

“New England’s lead-ers have a tremendous opportunity to keep climate-disrupting tar sands out of the North-east and build on the re-gion’s efforts to realize a clean, wildlife-friend-ly energy future,” said senior counsel Jim Murphy of the Nation-

al Wildlife Federation. Murphy added that tar oil extraction in Alberta could decimate the cari-bou population.

Miles Goodrich, a se-nior at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Me. who grew up in Brookfield, Conn., pointed out that tar sands would take the region in the ex-act opposite direction of those who are de-manding that colleges and universities divest themselves of Big Oil stock.

Others castigated

the National Trans-portation Safety Board (NTSB) for not mandat-ing stricter safety rules, but only making needed safety improvements voluntary.

Several speakers raised concerns about the damage that oil spills from leaking pipes or ruptured oil rail tankers could cause in the regions special places: Northeast King-dom, along the Andro-scoggin River, and in Portland Harbor and Casco Bay.

including tuna, mussels, squid and swordfish.

Mrs. King periodi-cally adds things “here and there” she said. She plans on selling spic-es in the near future. Also available for pur-chase are hand-crafted old fashioned clothes racks and other assorted items.

“Business is awe-some. Everybody has been phenomenal,” she said. “It’s a fun atmo-

sphere. My customers are kind,” she contin-ued.

Some future plans for the business are to in-stall picnic tables in the parking lot next summer and serve up lobster and steamers.

In the parking lot un-der a tent, Cliff Hudon and Tracy Labelle of Ber-lin run Cliff’s Tacos and Nachos and cook up food on the spot. Also for sale are salads with a variety

of meats to choose from, quesadillas, soft drinks, bottled water, chips, soup, rice and chili.

The owners also op-erate a catering service for all occasions. They hope to soon advance to a trailer that they can serve from on the lot which will also allow them to be more mobile.

Business hours for Jericho Springs are Wednesday through Fri-day 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and

Saturday 8 p.m. to 5 p.m. Hours for Crabby Patty’s are7 days a week from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on some days and until 6 p.m. on others depending on Mrs. King’s schedule for her other job. She guar-antees that if customers pre-order they will get the products in a time-ly manner. Hours for Cliff’s Tacos and Nachos are Thursday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. weather permitting.

A charge of unlawful possession of alcohol against Taylor Morin, 20, of Berlin, was placed on file without a finding on one year good behav-ior. He must success-fully complete the 3rd

Millennium Program within 60 days and file proof with the Berlin Police Department.

A charge of un-lawful possession of alcohol against Erin McGinnis, 20, of Milan,

was placed on file with-out a finding on one year good behavior. He must successfully com-plete the 3rd Millenni-um Program within 60 days and file proof with the Berlin Police De-

partment. A charge of un-

lawful possession of alcohol against Alex Fysh, 20, of Berlin, was placed on file without a finding on one year good behavior. He must

successfully complete the 3rd Millennium Pro-gram within 60 days and file proof with the Ber-lin Police Department.

A charge of posses-sion of controlled/nar-cotic drugs against Kim Allain, 26, of Berlin, was placed on file without a finding on one year good behavior. She must par-ticipate in drug coun-seling and report to the Berlin Police Depart-ment at 90 days and at 6 months. An additional charge of possession of drugs in a motor vehicle was nolle-prossed.

and demand such as took place last winter and will characterize the region’s near future, he explained.

NPT would supply greater electric reliabili-ty in the region by reduc-ing its dependence on natural gas, particularly during winter’s high gas demand times.

Despite energy con-

servation efforts and energy efficiencies, load demand continues to grow, Quinlan pointed out, even though Mass. tops the nation in spend-ing for energy conserva-tion and Conn. is one of the top five states.

In the next three years, Quinlan said, 10 percent of the region’s power plants – oil, coal

and nuclear — are slated to close, including Ver-mont Yankee and Bray-ton Point and Salem Harbor in the Bay State.

“None are being re-placed,” he said. “We can’t conserve our way out of this. The need is clear; businesses in N. H. and Mass. understand this.” Stakeholders need to sit at the same table and discuss the situa-tion. “We have a chal-lenge that needs to be ad-dressed for the common good,” Quinlan said.

“My goal is to come up with a project that New Hampshire supports — a project that has broad support from crit-ical stakeholders: policy makers, the 31 commu-nities through which the project would go, key businesses, labor, and the environmental com-munity” he said. “These are all groups that we’re reaching out to, ensur-ing that we understand their issues clearly.”

After nearly five years of discussion, the draft Environmental Im-pact Statement (EIS) is expected from the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) in December. The Draft EIS will include an assessment of NPT’s pro-posed route plus alterna-

tives, and will include the project’s proposal to cross the WMNF on an existing corridor in Stark, Easton, Lincoln and Woodstock.

After the Draft EIS is released, another public comment period will be-gin.

NPT plans to file its application with the newly constituted state Site Evaluation Com-mittee (SEC) in the first quarter of 2015, Quinlan said.

“Prior to that, we’re looking to have a proj-ect that New Hampshire supports, not necessari-ly universal support, but broad support,” Quinlan reiterated. “It’s a politi-cal process; the project has large and unique benefits to New Hamp-shire and New England; the need is pretty clear. The project was first conceived because of its environmental benefits — the reduction of car-bon emissions through the use of renewable hy-dropower — and the ben-efits still exist.”

Quinlan concluded, “The challenge now is to convince stakeholders in the aggregate about all the project’s benefits; the time is ripe for these discussions.”

their current uses, in-cluding agriculture,” ex-plained TCF’s Vermont Director Nancy Bell of Shrewsbury, Vt., who works collaboratively with local communities across northern New England, in a Saturday afternoon conversation.

The Working Forest Fund’s website states: “While we own, restore and sustainably manage these lands as working forests, we work with our conservation part-ners over a number of years to raise the funds to permanently protect them.”

It also states: “We launched the Working Forest Fund in 2009 to address a major conser-vation challenge — the loss of America’s last big forests. Over the next 20 years, according to the U.S. Forest Service, as much as 26 million acres of our forests will be sold, much of it broken into pieces and either developed or the mature trees heavily logged.

“As forests become fragmented, their ability to filter our water and air is compromised and there is less space for wildlife to live and mi-grate.

“The Working For-est Fund is a dedicated source of conservation bridge capital that al-lows us to acquire and sustainably manage working forests with high conservation value, saving them from inap-propriate development while working with our conservation partners

to get land permanently protected.

“Support from foun-dations and private philanthropists makes this possible. The Fund enables us to take our innovative forestland protection strategies to scale.

“In the Fund’s first phase, our goal is to ac-quire and protect one million acres of high-pri-ority forestland over a 10- to 15-year period. We’re off to a great start, with $40 million com-mitted and over 175,000 forest acres either under management or in joint venture relationships.”

TCF has already es-tablished an impressive track record on the Coös County’s east side.

In 2012, TCF’s efforts led to the protection of 8,910 acres of working forest, including the 286-acre Success Pond, watershed, numerous wetlands, and headwa-ter streams of the Andro-scoggin River. In Suc-cess both residents and visitors continue to en-joy the intact landscape and its traditional uses, to benefit from the flow of wood that supports jobs, and to promote the area as an outdoor recreation destination for hunting, fishing and OHRV-riding.

Degruttola also man-ages these lands.

In 2010, TCF assisted the National Park Ser-vice (NPS) in conserv-ing nearly 4,800 acres of forestland in Success, an Unincorporated Place. The property was added to the Mahoosuc Moun-

tain Range section of the Appalachian Trail (AT), linking previously con-served properties and ensuring continued pub-lic access to side trails.

What’s often called the “toughest mile” is now protected as part of six miles along the crest of the Mahoosucs. Two prominent peaks, Bald Cap and North Bald Cap, and the famous Outlook, were also protected.

The property is man-aged by the WMNF, and public access, including hunting and fishing, is maintained.

This project contin-ued TCF’s earlier work — completed in 2008 — in which TCF partnered with local communities, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the Appa-lachian Mountain Club (AMC) and NPS to pur-chase Bald Cap Peak,

to protect 1,200 acres of forests and scenic lands bordering the trail with a land preservation agreement.

In 2009, TCF and its many local partners completed efforts to conserve the historic Philbrook Farm Inn and adjacent Croftie Farm in Shelburne. This proj-ect also involved many local partners, plus the state Land and Commu-

nity Heritage Invest-ment Program (LCHIP) and three landowners who donated conserva-tion easements on their properties to leverage additional funding. With everyone working to-gether, a permanent con-servation easement was placed on these proper-ties, totaling slightly less than 1,000 acres, includ-ing a mile of frontage on the Androscoggin River.

LANCASTER — The Berlin girls played their best game of the 10u tournament just at the right time and bested Plymouth 26-8 on Sun-day to take the District Title on Sunday.

The Bobcats got off to a good start in the top of the first inning. Jill Hal-lee led off with a walk, stole to third and came home on a pass ball. Em-ily Coulombe worked a walk stole to third and came home on an over-throw. After one out Kyra Woodward walked on went to second on a ground out and stole third. Makenna Peare also made base on balls and stole second putting two runners in scoring position. In a close call Woodward advanced home on a passball and so did Peare on a wild pitch.

In the bottom of the first Plymouth tied it up 4-4. K. Comeau hit a two RBI triple, D. Joslin sacrificed in a run and E. Kunz ran all the way home on an error while stealing second

In the top of the sec-ond Hallee pulled a two-

out rally with a bomb to right field and sprinted out infield home run, 5-4. Next up was Bry Harris who beat the throw to first. Coulombe reached on an error and both runners went to scoring position. Next up was Woodward who reached on an error for anoth-

er run. Aubree Poirier worked a walk to load the bases. A tag out a home on an attempted steal ended the Berlin of-fensive.

In the top of the third Peare led off with a walk, stole second and was sent home by an RBI tri-ple to right y Maria Fre-

nette. Makenna Balder-rama worked a walk and Ashlin Lauze reached on an error to make it 8-4. Hallee drew in a walk to load the bases with one out. Harris then hit an infield pop fly to send in two runs, 10-4.

In the bottom of the third Comeau was at it

again with a two-run line drive to right field. Josh-lin followed suit and bat-ted an error to make it 10-7. Berlin staved off the next run with a nice play at home on a steal home.

Bottom of the fourth Plymouth scored a run off an error, but then pitcher Harris ended the

bleeding by catching a line drive to end the in-ning.

Top of the fifth Fre-nette led off with a dou-ble to left field and stole third. She cam home on a single batted by Mickai-ley Welch. Welch in turn stole her way to scoring position and came home on a ground out from Ka-dence Gendron.

In the bottom of the fifth it was no surprise that Comeau belted a triple. Despite the bases becoming loaded soon after Berlin held the Thundercats and Poiri-er snagged the third out with a strikeout.

In the top of the six Berlin continued to work their magic and cinched the win with 14 runs. Coulombe had an RBI single, Woodward hit a double and knocked in two runs, Hallee hit an RBI triple and Fren-ette had the biggest hit of the game with an in the park grand slam.

In the bottom of the sixth Berlin closed up shop with a strikeout by Harris, a play to first by Harris and the last play of the game was by third baseman Frenette to first.

Zach Burns goes for a close basket for Morneau Travel against Creative Threads.

Final surge pumps Morneau past Creative Threads

BY JONATHAN BENTON

[email protected]

BERLIN — Despite a moderate nine-point point deficit at half-time the purple lads of Morneau Travel ral-lied to make it a close game against Creative Threads and in the fi-nal minute pulled a sev-en-point run to win the game 81-76.

It was a close first half battle with the Thread Bearers relying on a team effort of six scorers while Morneau was shouldered by Brad Frenette (11-points) and Keven James (15-points). It was a defensive game with it being a tight one-point margin, 35-34, with two-minutes to go in the first half. From that point on, however, Bailey Johnson and Kev-in Trask made it rain threes and outside shots to put big green ahead 44-35 at halftime.

In the second half Morneau tried to lay some ground work, but the sharp dressed men continued to widen the gap. Ryan Call kept get-ting fouled going to the hoop and went eight for eight that half and went 10 for 10 for the game.

Trask also continued his active pace and even landed back-to-back three-pointers to make it a 63-45 game at the 13:30 mark.

Frenette answered right after with a three of his own and Mor-neau’s redemptive climb up the ladder began. The world travelers got a number of stops and steadily chipped away at CT’s lead with some hoops by Zach Burns, Mike Smith and an old fashioned three-point by Tommy Wagner. Even though Morneau fell into one-and-one foul trouble early at the eight-min-ute mark they were only trailing 69-62.

With just three min-utes left in regulation the world travelers went on an eight-point run to take the lead 74-73: James hit two threes and Frenette set in a hoop.

At this point Creative only had five fouls on was being given double bonus on the charity stripe. Borre utilized this advantage to tie it up 74-74 at 2:03 to go as did Call who gave green their last lead of 76-74 right after.

In that final minute

Frenette drilled a three, Smith landed a bucket and James was put to the line as CT was forced to foul for a nine-point run. Creative had one last possession, but Frenette made the steal and ran down the clock to end the game.

Ramrod stays out of Remax’s reachBY JONATHAN BENTON

[email protected]

BERLIN — Remax was never out of the ring, but just couldn’t seem to fire on all cylinders like Ramrod was able to do to win 77-67 led by Curtis Arsenault who sported 26-points.

The first five minutes was a stalwart back and forth battle with both teams playing solid de-fense. The score tied three times until Ram-rod pulled a seven-point run that earned them a lead they would hold for the rest of the game, 15-9: Steve Arsenault hit two frees, son Levi set in a hoop and Dan Rivard landed a three-pointer. Rivard would hit four threes in the first half alone including one to keep Orange at a healthy 20-14 margin with 12-minutes to go.

Just when an effort from Realtors Ryan Richard or Dan Enman would start to pinch the gap Ramrod would pull away again. When the

score was 23-20 Levi Ar-senault hit back-to-back buckets and father Steve a free to widen the divide 28-20 at 8:07. Remax was playing catch-up, but never gave-up.

Andrew Coulombe helped Remax with two frees and Keith Griffin landed a three-pointer, 28-25. Ramrod answered with a six-point run from a Steve free, a Cur-tis three and a hoop from Nick Fodor, 34-25. Griffin did well to land another three, but Rivard was still hot and canceled his vote with one of his own, 37-28.

In the final two-min-utes of the first half Remax pulled them-selves back up with a seven-point run. Dan hit two frees and an old fashioned three followed by a driving basket from a Richard, 37-35. Curtis pushed back, howev-er, with two frees and then a buzzer beating three-pointer for a 42-35 lead at halftime.

While both teams

had comparable guards it was Ramrod that had the stronger rebounding and Remax could have used some more mus-cle in their corner like Dylan Curry who was unavailable. Ramrod’s deeper bench was defi-nitely paying off.

Ethan Enman stepped

up in the second half with 10-points (two-threes) alongside Rich-ar and brother Dan who maintained. However, Curtis’ end performance in the first was only a preview of his 18-point (two-threes) perfor-mance that occurred in the second half.

Even though Remax never gave up with 12-minutes left in reg-ulation they would not reach more then six-points of the lead for the rest of the game.

B3JULY 16, 2014

BY RONDA ADDY

It used to be if you wanted your child to have golf clubs, you found an old adult set and cut them down to the right height. If a club was too heavy, you just threw it out. Today, that’s no longer the case. There are a number of choices designed specif-ically for junior golfers.

The first thing you need to consider when buying junior golf clubs is the length. You want a set of clubs that your

child can use comfort-ably now and grow into. If your child needs to grip down a little, that’s ok. If all they have to grip down an inch, chances are they can get a couple of years’ usage out of the clubs. If they have to grip down more than two inches, they will have to change their swing in order to get the club around their body.

You also need to con-sider the weight and grips of the clubs. The weight should suit your

child’s age. If the clubs are light enough, your child should be able to get them in the correct position at the top of their swing. The grips should be thinner than those found on adult clubs. Larger grips will affect your child’s swing. When changing grips, you want junior grips with a core size of .50.

Most youth club sets have a smaller number of clubs, which reduc-es the weight of the

golf bag and makes it easier for a child to de-cide which club to use. Youth club sets usually include a 6-iron and a 3 or 5 wood. To find out the appropriate length for a putter, measure from slightly above your child’s waist to the ground.

Having the wrong equipment can turn anyone off to a sport. The best thing you can do for your child is to get them the right set of junior golf clubs in the beginning. With the right equipment, they might just develop a life-long love of the game.

Second annual White Mountain Gran Fondo LINCOLN — Back

by popular demand, the 2nd Annual White Mountain Gran Fondo presented by Bank of New Hampshire will be challenging nearly 800 cyclists in the ride of their lives on Satur-day, August 23. Cyclists will test their strength and endurance through 100 miles of some of the toughest climbs and most brilliant scenery that New Hampshire’s White Mountains have to offer. Cyclists can still register by visiting www.whitemountain-granfondo.com.

This “Big Ride for a Big Purpose” benefits City Year New Hamp-shire’s work to help struggling students stay in school and get back on track toward high school graduation. In Manchester, City Year’s diverse corps of 50 young people serve in six of the city’s elemen-tary schools. City Year New Hampshire’s Exec-utive Director Pawn Ni-tichan explains, “With one in four Manchester children currently liv-ing in poverty and one in seven dropping out of high school, thousands more students at the middle and high school level are in need of simi-lar assistance.

The White Mountain Gran Fondo is critical in helping City Year raise the funds to expand and help meet the needs of all students.” Gran Fon-dos are long distance, mass-participation cy-cling events that have

been extremely popu-lar in Europe – and in-creasing in popularity in the U.S. The WMGF will include three ride options: a 100 mile Gran Fondo starting at Loon Mountain, a 50 mile Medio Fondo starting at Bretton Woods Ski Resort, and a 25 mile Piccolo Fondo starting in Franconia, NH. Each ride will challenge cy-clists with daring ter-rain and breathtaking scenery. Last year, the event attracted nearly

400 athletes, 21 spon-sors, 112 volunteers and hundreds of spectators to the White Mountains and raised $78,000 in support of City Year’s work.

The event received overwhelmingly posi-tive feedback from rid-ers and sponsors alike. One participant re-marked, “Over the last five years I’ve partici-pated in about a dozen organized bike rides annually. This was the best organized and most

scenic ride I’ve ever been on.” Tony Ilac-qua, Branch Manager for Bank of New Hamp-shire in Lincoln said, “Last year, numerous people went out of their way to thank me and my company for sup-porting such a wonder-ful cause. I have always been proud to represent my company, but never as much as on that day. What a great event and more importantly what a great Partnership that Bank of New Hampshire

is proud to be a part of.” Paul McCormack, Irish Olympic cyclist and the official Event Technician said, “City Year members bring an amazing level of spirit and organization that make the White Moun-tain Gran Fondo an in-credible success – one of the best events I’ve been to in recent years.” Loon Mountain Resort will host all of the ac-tion at the event’s start and finish line. Partici-pants will be treated to

joyful welcomes from City Year New Hamp-shire staff and volun-teers as they arrive.

The 100-mile ride will launch at 8:00 a.m. The riders will turn right out of Loon Mountain to make the long, steady climb up the Kanca-magus Highway and on to Bear Notch and Crawford Notch. The beautiful day of riding will conclude with a trek up Kinsman Notch with volunteers wild-ly cheering at the top. Then, it is all downhill to the finish. The course will be teeming with en-ergetic City Year staff and corps members who will cheer, direct and assist riders the whole way. “We’re so pleased to host City Year’s big event. We’re grateful to the organization, volunteers, sponsors, riders, and their family and friends for heading to the Lincoln area and allowing us to be a part of their success,” said Andrew Noyes, Sales Director at Loon. City Year New Hampshire is partnering with the Bank of New Hampshire and several other local businesses to make this event possible, includ-ing Loon Mountain, Bretton Woods, Papa Wheelies, Pedro’s, The Mountain Club at Loon, Baker Newman Noyes, the McLane Law Firm and 13 other sponsors and partners.

Pizza was on the menu for Kids Only

Scott Welsh lights off another three-pointer for KOD against Mr. Pizza Thursday.

BY JONATHAN BENTON

[email protected]

BERLIN — It was a one-possession game until late in the first half when Kids Only Daycare pulled away on Mr. Pizza and held onto that lead to coast to a 81-67 win on Thursday.

The dough-throwers got off to a good start with a 7-0 run over the first minute and a half. Hoops landed off the hands of Sam Jensen and Yiram Villanueva with Boone Stapinski landing a three. Matt McLauchlin broke bread for the Pizza-men with their first hoop at 18:20. Villanueva drained a three-pointer to make it 10-2 before Mr. Pizza pulled a solid surge to tie things up 10-10 at the 16-minute mark. Chris Ness landed a hoop on a foul and despite the miss McLauchlin rebounded it in followed by another bucket by him and then Danny Plant.

From there were four lead changes until an in-

jury occurred putting a dent in Mr. Pizza’s ros-ter. A bad landing took out McLauchlin at 8:42

left for the rest of the half. Not only did the loss of one of their top scorers hurt, but with-out any subs the Mr. Pizz-men enlisted An-drew Coulombe from the crowd to play.

It was no surprise that Kids Only then pulled away 27-21 with a

three from Scott Welsh and a hoop from Jen-sen. The lads in red ral-lied, however, and Jake Clement stepped up for six straight points (three and old fashioned three) even landing the tying hoop 31-31 with 3:03 left in the first half.

It was shortly after that KOD lost one of their scorers, Jensen, who took a hard hit to the face on an attempted block.

There was then a 9-3 turnaround with three-points each from Stap-inski, Villanueva and

John Lafitte to earn KOD the 41-34 lead at halftime. For the first half Clement and Mc-Lauchlin combined for 23-points with Stapinski and Villanueva putting up 22-points.

From that point on the closest Mr. Pizza ever got to the lead was 69-60 at 5:10 left in the second half. Welsh came off the bench in the second half to drain five three-point-ers and Jensen was back on the court for 12-points including two threes. McLauchlin was also back in the second half and pushed through his injury for 14-points in-cluding two-threes and Ness stepped up for six hoops.

Kids Only had the deeper bench and even-tually put Mr. Pizza in foul trouble to ultimate-ly take the game.
