Friends of Abenaki aim for more improvements at town ski area With permit in hand, fundraising is ongoing for installation of permanent snowmaking system BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — There is no voice in a cornfield. There is no Ray Kinsella or Archibald “Moonlight” Graham. There’s no Shoeless Joe

Jackson emerging from seemingly out of nowhere. However, the famous Field of Dreams quote, “if you build it, he (they) will come,” certainly rings true at Abenaki Ski Area in

Wolfeboro. Through the hard work of the Friends of Abenaki, a non-profit group dedicated to preserving and upgrading the town-owned ski area on Route 109A, snowmaking ar-

Welcome to High Tea Gov. John Wentworth and Lady Fanny Wentworth (portrayed by Adam and Mary Spencer of Ossipee) welcomed guests to High Tea at the Greenleaf Brown Clark House last Sunday afternoon, Oct. 4. The event, sponsored by the Wolfeboro Historical Society, was sold out and “a smashing success,” according to WHS President Jim Rogers.

Cost estimates for public safety facility options reconsidered BY ELISSA PAQUETTE Staff Writer

TUFTONBORO — The Oct. 5 meeting of the Tuftonboro Board of Selectmen began with a reversal of the decision made at last Monday’s meeting to acquire cost estimates for both standalone and combined public safety building proposals considering two different locations. The sticking points for Selecmtan Chair Dan Duffy were the consideration of a combined fire/police facility, the cost of further study, and the length of time involved. “I’m unhappy with the decision I made,” he said, reopening a discussion among the members of the board and audience, including Bet-

sy Frago, who served on the public safety facilities committee, and John Simms, chairman of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) committee. Selectman Carolyn Sundquist responded that, in her opinion, the board needs to discuss the issue at length and said that there is time, since they decided already that they would not bring a building proposal to voters in March. She feels that the potential of using the library building, which will be available once a new library is built, as a police station, needs to be assessed; the Dearborn property is not ideal; and the Gould property does not have a site plan yet.

She said she would like more information comparing the costs of a standalone fire station and eventual expansion of the police station with a combined facility, meeting the needs of both. Selectman Bill Stockman commented that he was getting feedback against building a combined facility. He likes the idea of building in phases, starting with a fire station, and then a library, concluding with a police station; sees having two buildings as an advantage; and also sees benefits to centralizing services, as building a fire station on the Dearborn property would do.

rived on the scene just a few short years ago and skier (and snowboarder) visits are through the roof. Now, the Friends of Abenaki have received approval to move ahead with the next phase of the plan, once the money is raised. The town recently received notification from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services that a permit had been granted to allow water withdrawals from the wetlands at the bottom of the Abenaki Ski Area, between Route 109A and the Pop Whalen Arena. The water withdrawals would be used for a permanent snowmaking system that the Friends of Abenaki are currently fundraising to purchase. Currently, the Wolfeboro Parks and Recreation Department does draw water from the pond, though through a small pipe, just enough to run the portable snowmakers that the Friends of Abenaki purchased a few years ago and to create the outdoor ice rink behind the Pop Whalen Arena. The town has received a permit allowing the withdrawal of about 280,000 gallons of water, which would put the pond’s water level down about 1.76 inches. The pond holds about 6.5 million gallons of water at its full capacity. “There’s more water going in and out than we’re going to take out,” said Friends of Abenaki member Ted Newman. “There’s a lot of water that goes into the brook.” Parks and Recreation Director Ethan Hipple, whose department is in charge of running the town’s ski slope, noted that in the spring time, most of the water drawn out of the pond will eventually make its way back down to the pond when the snow on the hill melts. Friends of Abenaki member Bill Swaffield pointed out that the current portable systems have been a great addition to the hill, increasing visits in the two years they have been in operation. With the portable units, however, the snowmaking doesn’t even reach the top of the hill,

which means a lot more hours are spent moving the snow with the groomer that the group purchased back in 2005-06.

“It takes a lot of groomer time,” Swaffield said. “And it’s inefficient.” SEE ABENAKI PAGE A14

Wolfeboro tied with Conway for jail population numbers BY DAYMOND STEER Staff Writer, Carroll County Independent

OSSIPEE — Between 2004 and 2008, most of the local people incarcerated in the county’s jail were from Ossipee and Conway, but as of September, Wolfeboro has overtaken Ossipee and was tied with Conway for having the most incarcerated residents. House of Corrections Superintendent Jason Johnson reported the statistic during a recent County Commission meeting. Johnson elaborated during a follow up interview.

As of Sept. 1, Wolfeboro and Conway both had 73 residents incarcerated and Ossipee had 65, said Johnson. The statistic is somewhat surprising because Ossipee has had the most residents incarcerated every year for the last five years and Wolfeboro has trailed Ossipee and Conway during the same period. “The reason Wolfeboro is having more people to jail is the town’s population density is increasing,” said SEE JAIL PAGE A15

Her birth marked the last page of Huggins’ long history of scheduled births. Wolfeboro Ob/Gyn doctors Tim Pinard and Tina Dempsey (at left) brought her into the world.

MILTON — Municipal officials risk liability if they take comments from the public at unspecified times during meetings, said New Hampshire School Administrators Association’s Executive Director to the SAU 64 school board last week. Dr. Mark Joyce, executive director of the NHSAA, came to an SAU 64 workshop at Nute High School in Milton on Sept. 30, to give a presentation about the role school board members play in the community. SAU 64 includes schools in Milton and Wakefield. In the beginning of his presentation, Joyce ex-

plained that being a school board member is a difficult task because one must weigh many different interests and responsibilities. He compared serving on a school board to being a juggler on the Ed Sullivan Show. The jugglers would balance a number of spinning plates on sticks. “There is no real job description for a school board member,” said Joyce. The post has become so difficult and “thankless” that about a third of newly elected school board members will not finish their term, he said. Much of last week’s conversation focused on how a SEE INPUT PAGE A15

She sorts through memories of raising her three children, all now moved away to “better places.” But for Hannah there is no better place than Port William, with its community of loving, caring, neighbors bound together by the landscape they love.

Kingwood Youth Center holds Open House BY ELISSA PAQUETTE Staff Writer

WOLFEBORO — The board of the Kingswood Youth Center held a busy Open House on Oct. 1 for the many volunteers and donors who helped bring about construction of the new facility, which provides after school programs for teens. The new facility at 565 Center St. is open to students as Kingswood Regional Middle School and Kingswood Regional High School. A bus will transport students to the Center every afternoon at the end of the school day. Tim Radley, president of the board, dedicated three plaques: one to Mallory Stephens for his many hours of “selfless service.” another to the Bald Peak Community Fund, whose contribution brought about completion of the kitchen, and the Meredith Village Savings Bank. He also called attention to Bruce Sawyer, a volunteer who has brought about many “finishing touches” to the interior of the building. The Kingswood Youth Center (KYC) has been offering programs in the Governor Wentworth School District since 1999. Director Pam Sweeney described the Center, as “productive, interactive and safe for after school learning and social growth.” Sandy Smith Bushman recently joined KYC as Assistant Director. Her focus will be on public relations, grant writing and the afterschool programs. She brings many talents to KYC with her experience in higher education, college advisement, program development and public speaking. The board has successfully raised funds to purchase

“Doubt” showing at library Oct. 16 WOLFEBORO — The Wolfeboro Public Library will kick off its new program series, “Films on a Friday Afternoon,” with a showing of the award-winning drama, “Doubt,” on Friday, Oct. 16 at 2 p.m. in the library’s meeting room. “Doubt” is one of the most honored and acclaimed motion pictures of the last year. Based on the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play, “Doubt” is a suspensefilled drama with four riveting performances from Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis. Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Streep), the rigid and fear-inspiring principal of the Saint Nicholas Church School, suffers an extreme dislike for the progressive and popular parish priest Father Flynn (Hoffman). Looking for wrongdoing in every corner, Sister Aloysius believes she's uncovered the ultimate sin when she hears Father Flynn has taken a special interest in a troubled boy. But without proof, the only thing certain is doubt. “Films on a Friday Afternoon” will feature newer releases, classics, musicals, mysteries and more. For more information please call the Wolfeboro Public Library at 569-2428.

WOLFEBORO — A trolley full of members from the Gypsy Chicks Red Hat Travel Club toured the Lakes Region recently as a day-trip during their annual visit to Ogunquit, Maine. Gina Clark, owner of LTA (Let’s Travel Again) World Discoveries of Oakfield, Maine organizes the trip to the Maine seacoast every September for a group of women from the St. John River Valley in western New Brunswick, Canada and Northern Maine. Seven additional “Red Hatters” from the Berkshires in Massachusetts traveled on their own to join the bus tour from up north, bringing the total number participating to 43. The Red Hat Society is comprised of women 50 years old, or older, who get together to have a good time. The Society was started by accident several years ago by a middle-aged woman inspired by Jenny Joseph’s poem Warnings, which starts “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple with a red hat which doesn’t go and doesn’t suit me…” The organization now has thousands of members. “We’ve made this trip for several years now, always including a show at the Ogunquit Playhouse,” said Clark. “This time the ladies wanted to spend one day doing something different, so I said, ‘Okay, let’s go see Lake Winnipesaukee!” Lucky enough to pick a crisp September day with blue skies and sunshine, the ladies first stop was Wolfeboro for a one-hour tour on Molly the Trolley.

Happenings WOLFEBORO — At your new hospital, work continues on the roof as sky lights are installed and rubber membrane is being applied on two levels. As the roof is made weather tight, the walls inside are progressing with the application of sheet rock. People taking tours can now walk into patient rooms and operating suites and get a real sense of what the space will look like when finished. The brick layers continue to work in the area of the new main entrance and existing emergency department area. As the brick work progresses, the windows have been installed around the building and glazing is being completed. A look back through the Web cam images provides a true sense of how far the project has come. It’s hard to believe that we broke ground in the summer of 2008, went through a harsh winter and rainy early summer and we are pleased to announce the project is still on time and on budget. Emergency Care is the front line of medicine. It demands efficient, high quality care accompanied by the finest in advanced technological applications and procedures. Currently more than 16,000 patients per year use Huggins Hospital’s Emergency Department — far more than the 1980 facility was designed to accommodate. The hospital is preparing an Emergency Department that can accommodate upwards of 22,000 patients per year. The design of the new 6,770 square foot Emergency Department provides ample space for improved technology and offers an environment that streamlines the care and treatment for emergency patients. Patients coming to Huggins Hospital by ambulance will be brought to a dedicated entrance that features a point of entry check-in for the paramedic. The new dedicated helipad allows for direct access to the emergency room and easier transport of critical patients departing from Huggins. A new expanded triage area will assist with the immediate screening of patients to prioritize their medical needs and decrease waiting time. A dedicated private registration area for Emergency Department patients only will be located in the Emergency Department lobby and patients will benefit from a separate discharge and checkout area. There will be 10 private patient rooms and 14 stretchers. Each patient room will be equipped with new data drops that allow the medical staff to provide digital medical imaging services with a PACS (picture archiving and communications system). Installation of a pneumatic tube system will rush specimens to the lab and save time and improve the patient care experience. Diagnostic tools

and procedural supplies needed to treat patients will be brought to bedside via a cart system and physicians will be able to access numerous tests at the patient’s bedside. There will be separate designated critical care rooms for patients that experience major trauma, cardiac arrest or severe cardiac disease. Community members or service organizations that would like to take a tour of the new facility should contact the Office of Marketing and Development at 515-2094. Tours are currently being scheduled for Friday afternoons at 1 and 2 p.m. Please plan to wear close-toed shoes and we will provide hard hats, protective eye wear and vests. All patients arriving for outpatient services and clinics Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. should be instructed to enter from 220 South Main St. and register in the Medical Arts building before proceeding to their appointments. Assistance is available for instruction and transportation. Ambulances and emergency patients will continue to enter the emergency department driveway, where minimal parking will be available. Currently, if you are coming to the hospital for services or day surgery, please use the Medical Arts Center parking lot at 220 South Main St. and register in the new outpatient registration area currently located near the Medical Arts elevator. If you are pre registered, please check in at the reception desk before proceeding to your appointment. Concierge service is available to assist with directions and transportation Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you come in

through the main entrance, please register in the Medical Arts Center in the registration area before proceeding to your appointment. For your convenience and to obtain current information on H1N1, please visit our Web site at www.hugginshospital.org. If you would like to check the latest updates on parking and entrances before coming to Huggins Hospital, please call our 24-hour telephone update line at 515-2000. Please note that all hospital offices and services are open and available during this construction period.

Huggins Hospital recognizes Maternity Unit staff WOLFEBORO — Huggins Hospital issued the following statement on the closing of its Maternity Unit at the end of last month: “Sept. 30 marked the final day for Huggins Hospital’s Maternity Unit, a difficult and sad transition for the hospital and our community. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Administration and all employees, Huggins Hospital would like to acknowledge and recognize the extraordinary care, profes-

sionalism and compassion of our physicians, highly regarded nursing staff, aides and support staff that worked in the Maternity Unit. All of these individuals worked tirelessly to ensure the care and comfort of every patient and her newborn and we are honored and grateful for their service and compassionate care. “For those employees that have moved their careers to other locations, we wish them well. For those who remain

with us in different roles, we look forward to having them continue to be part of our excellent medical, clinical and staff team that is committed to the care and health of our community. “Dr. Timothy Pinard will

Golf tournament raises $10,000 for Child Advocacy Center WOLFEBORO — A veteran mental health counselor told participants at a fundraising golf tournament last Tuesday, Sept. 29, that national statistics indicate that one in four girls and one in six boys will experience some form of sexual abuse before the age of 18.

Diane Bartlett a clinical mental health counselor for the past 21 years was the keynote speaker at the Fourth Annual Keep Children Safe Golf Tournament held at Bald Peak Colony Club in Moultonborough. The tournament is a fund-raiser for the Child Advocacy Center of

Carroll County, and raised nearly $10,000. In New Hampshire in 2008, Bartlett said 1,567 children were interviewed at Child Advocacy Centers (CACs), and the average age of the child was 9.5 years old. Eighty-one percent of those cases involved a primary allegation

of child sexual abuse. In Carroll County the local CAC based in Wolfeboro received 64 new cases during the first eight months of 2009, and 50 of those involved allegations of sexual abuse. "When we also consider that childhood sexual abuse is not always evident and that many children never tell, we begin to see why we must act," Bartlett said. Specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder related to traumatic abuse, Bartlett (who lives in Moultonborough and practices in Ossipee) told the 80 golfers present that traumatized children may suffer from a number of serious problems, including night terrors and consequent sleep disorders, anxiety and hypervigilance. Traumatized children may also suffer from depression with accompanying suicidal risk. She told participants to picture a 10-year-old who has a plan to hang himself and has written a note giving his prized possession to his sister. A child may also experience somatic symptoms such as stomachaches, and headaches. Girls may also display violent or inappropriate sexual behaviors that may be followed by sexual promiscuity, which increases the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancies. "Some children think, 'If I am just fat enough or thin enough, no one will hurt me again,' and an eating disorder begins,” Bartlett said. In school, a traumatized child may struggle to concentrate and learning is diminished. One of the most damaging impacts of child sexual abuse, according to Bartlett,

The event raised nearly $10,000 for the Center. is the loss of the ability to trust and form healthy relationships. In addition, the child may struggle to differentiate between safe and unsafe relationship and situations. This increases the risk of further abuse, Bartlett cautioned. "Fortunately, when childhood abuse is acknowledged at the time, the perpetrator is held accountable, and the children receives appropriate medical and mental health care, the child has the opportunity to begin healing," Bartlett said. The vision of the Child Advocacy Center of Carroll County is a world where children are safe from abuse. Their mission is to eliminate child abuse by protecting children, supporting people and promoting justice through education and cooperative partnerships in our communities. Bartlett said their partners include Carroll County law enforcement, the County Attorney's Office, the Division of Children, Youth and Families, Huggins Hospital, Starting Point and Northern Hu-

man Services-Mental Health Center. "I want to share with you what the Child Advocacy Center does. First, we serve children and families. We enable the child victim to tell his or her story, hopefully, only once, in a warm and friendly safe place, and we empower non-offending parents to seek whatever services, for example, medical or mental health, that the child may need. Secondly, the forensic interview process, which seeks the truth, supports the investigation and prosecution of the alleged perpetrator, resulting in more efficient and effective investigations; this yields cost savings to local communities," Bartlett explained. The path to healing for adult survivors of sexual abuse is challenging and long, according to Bartlett, as well as costly due to the need for extended mental health care and lost work productivity. The Colin A. Ross Institute for Psychological Trauma estimates that long-term psychiatric and medical costs for child abuse survivors at $100 billion every year.

PTO forming at Kingswood Regional Middle School WOLFEBORO — The Governor Wentworth Regional School District’s elementary schools have had well established and active PTOs, but from all accounts, Kingswood Regional Middle School (KRMS) has never had an organized PTO. What began as inquiries from parents and teachers, led to a parent survey in the summer of 2009 and eventually to an informational meeting on Sept. 9. A group of enthusiastic parents and staff members met to discuss the viability of forming a PTO

and brainstormed a list of “what’s next.” One of the primary tasks of the new group will be the election of officers and the writing of a mission statement and/or by-laws. The next meeting will be on Oct. 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the school. All who are interested in joining this venture, who wish to be involved in supporting youth in the KRMS school community, and strive to building strong relationships among parents, youths and teachers are urged to attend this important meeting.

WOLFEBORO — The Governor Wentworth Regional School District school board and Superintendent Jack Robertson hosted a reception for the new staff members working throughout the district at the Region #9 Vocational Center’s Skylight Dining Room the afternoon of Sept. 28. Nineteen positions were filled at the start of the year. An occupational therapist for the district and a Step 1 Coordinator were hired as well as teachers in all of the elementary schools (Carpenter, Crescent Lake, New Durham, Ossipee and Tuftonboro Central), in Kingswood Middle and High Schools, and in the Vocational Center. The high and middle schools each had five new hires. At the high school, Donald Liedke will be teaching music and directing the band. He brings 18 years of experience teaching high school and middle school band and chorus. Stefanie King is an English teacher with degrees in English and outdoor education and a master of arts in teaching secondary English from the University of New Hampshire (UNH). Christine Fuller, who has served as a senior long term claims manager at Liberty Mutual, is putting her degrees in biology and public health with a focus on ecology to use as the new biology teacher. After spending the last 10 years as a social worker with

VNA-Hospice of Southern Carroll County, Sheryl Powers will serve in that capacity at the high school. She has a degree in family studies and a masters of social work degree. Kristan Sheffer will split her time between teaching PLATO, a software program that offers educational and instructional technology solutions for individualized learning and instruction, and serving as a guidance counselor. She has been an academic enrichment program teacher and was the Director of Education at the Sylvan Learning Center. With a bachelors degree in psychology from Plymouth University and having just completed a masters in education program, Emily Kelly will be teaching special education at the middle school. She has spent the last five years at the middle school as a reading aide. Also teaching special education is Dianne Harrington, who has served at Crescent Lake Elementary School in the Student Support Center and as a special education assistant. Kevin Tiller is now teaching physical education. He has 13 years of experience and has a bachelors degree in physical education and a master of science degree in kinesiology from the University of New Hampshire.

Bahr wins Cow Island sailboat race Miss New Hampshire's Outstanding Teen Competition seeking applicants TUFTONBORO — The Annual Labor Day RoundCow Island sailboat race kicked off on Saturday, Sept. 5, with picture-perfect conditions. At 1 p.m., eight boats charged south from the start line at Chase Point. The group remained tight for the first leg of the race. Once past the Barber Pole, however, Bob Bahr’s Full Tilt broke out of the pack and into the open waters of the Broads. He never looked back and crossed the finish line well ahead of the others.

First Great N.H. Pie Festival a success MILTON —The skies cleared and a beautiful afternoon unfolded on Sunday just in time for the first annual Great New Hampshire Pie Festival at the New Hampshire Farm Museum. Attendees enjoyed all the pie they could manage to eat and picked the People’s Choice Award from the professional bakery entries. Hands-down winner in both the fruit and nonfruit categories was Johnson’s Restaurant in New Durham. Their Coconut Cream pie with sprinkled toasted coconut was the rave of the event. Their version of the multi-berried Bumbleberry pie was the winner in the fruit pie category. John and Jennifer Forsyth, creators of the americanpieways.com Web site, judged the 14 submissions to the amateur piemaking contest. While they admitted that they did

not taste a bad pie, they picked the Butterscotch Meringue pie by Tina Savage of Acton, Maine, for the winner. Second place went to another Maine piemaker, Dolly Hall of Oxford, for her Swedish Apple pie. Third place was for a beautifully decorated apple pie by Brookfield residents Ray and Kristin Roy. King Arthur Flour provided the prizes for each of the amateur winners. Farm Museum staff member Cheryl Kimball says she

is pleased with the response to the inaugural event. “We want to be sure to thank sponsors of the event, Ray Beaudoin and Lone Oak. Everyone seemed to have a great time,” she said. “With such a beautiful setting and activities like house tours, farm animals tours, and a kid’s pie-eating contest combined with lots of pie, it’s hard to go wrong. We’re already planning a bigger and better Second Annual Great New Hampshire Pie Festival for next year.”

DERRY — The Sixth Annual Miss New Hampshire's Outstanding Teen Competition will take place at Pinkerton Academy's Stockbridge Theatre in Derry on Jan. 1517, 2010. The program is seeking teens between the ages of 13 and 17 to apply no later than Nov. 6. Conducted by the Miss New Hampshire Scholarship Program – the official state chapter of the Miss America Organization – the fifth program last February was a resounding success. Pinkerton Academy’s Katrina Rossi has had an exciting year, which included competing in the national Miss America's Outstanding Teen competition in Orlando, Fla. this past August. The teen competition is modeled after most of the competition categories as Miss America, which includes a two-minute talent performance. Talent is worth 35 percent of the competition scoring in the competition.

Green business in Union gets federal grant Mill. At maximum capacity it could produce a ton of pellets per hour, he said. One day, Roach hopes to be able to hire some employees. He estimates that eventually he would hire about five people. “It will take awhile to get

BY DAYMOND STEER Staff Writer, Carroll County Independent

WAKEFIELD — In about a month, Branch River Pellets, a new stove and fuel shop in Union, will be producing its own brand of wood pellets, which are an environmentally friendly and renewable source of heating fuel. Branch River Pellets received a $13,059 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture to help offset the cost of the needed machinery to produce the pellets. The grant came through the USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). "Branch River Pellets competed nationally for the USDA Rural Development Rural Energy for America Program grant," said David Robinson, Business Program Director for USDA Rural Development. "The technology that the company is adding to their pellet manufacturing process and its anticipated return on investment made their application very competitive. We are pleased that this grant will allow them to improve the efficiency of their finished product and strengthen the company’s position in the renewable energy market." Branch River Pellets owner Bill Roach said the grant is going to reimburse 25 percent of the cost of purchasing and installing his new pellet press, which he received in July. Wood pellets are an environmentally friendly fuel because they burn efficiently and are made out of sawdust. The material for Branch River’s pellets will come from local sawmills, said Roach. Since the sawdust is recycled wood, no trees will be cut just to make pellets, he said. Branch River Pellets opened in January of 2009. It carries several brands of wood and pellet stoves and several types of wood based fuel. Roach said he began working on the 118-page USDA grant in November. Since opening, Roach, 37, of Union, has been working long hours and seven days a week. But he doesn’t mind. “It’s my dream, so it doesn’t feel like work to me,” said Roach. “My whole goal is to help us be independent of foreign oil. Roach said he’s burned pellets in his own home for the

there,” he said. Branch River Pellets is located at 19 Maple St. in Union, which is behind Two John’s Automotive. Branch River is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. 3 p.m.

DAYMOND STEER ■

BILL ROACH, owner of Branch River Pellets in Union, poses with his pellet press. Funding for the pellet press came from a USDA grant. last eight years and during the ice storm he was able to keep his stove going with power from marine batteries. A ton of wood pellets is equal to 119 gallons of heating oil, according to Roach. Currently, Branch River sells pellets for $275 per ton. Branch River also offers a bulk rate of $250 per ton. A ton of pellets lasts about 50 days, said Roach. Branch River’s pellet manufacturing operation will be unique because most pellet makers are large wholesale businesses that run 24 hours a day. In contrast, Branch River will be a small retail outfit.

Customers will be able to come in with their own bins and fill up on pellets. Roach said if he doesn’t have to bag the product he could pass the savings on to his customers. His goal is to make four

tons of pellets per day then work up to 10 tons per day within a year. There will be a learning curve involved in making pellets, said Roach. The press is a 100-horsepower 1965 California Pellet

Unitarians sponsor health care forum Oct. 11 TAMWORTH — Health care: What’s Fair and Effective?

Why do some hospitals consistently perform better than others, providing low cost and high quality health care? What can we learn from studying variations like these? Researchers at The Dart-

mouth Institute (TDI) have been studying the United States health care system for over 35 years. By focusing on the wide variations in both quality and spending that exist between regions and hospitals in the U.S., the Dartmouth work has shown that it may be possible to improve the quality of our health care system while also spending less than we currently do. In the past few years, these studies have come to be seen as some of the most respected and influential in the health care reform debate. Dartmouth’s work was recently highlighted in a New Yorker article by Atul Gawande, which has been cited numerous times by President Obama. Many policy makers are listening to this research and its implications for the future of the U.S. health care system. On Sunday afternoon, Oct.

11, at 3 p.m. you can hear about research of effective and low cost health care. The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Eastern Slopes will be sponsoring a non-partisan educational forum with a speaker from the Dartmouth Institute, Laura Yasaitis. The talk will take place in Tamworth, at the Runnells Hall, off Route 16 on Route113. Laura Yasaitis is a fourth year MD-PhD student at Dartmouth Medical School and TDI. She has published papers on the correlation between hospital spending and performance on Medicare quality measures and patient satisfaction, and is currently examining racial disparities in preferences for care. Her thesis work focuses on the association between health care system quality and longterm health outcomes among Medicare beneficiaries.

WHAT IF

What if we could find common ground with those who hate us? BY JOHN BABSON Tuftonboro

Talk may be cheap – but its ramifications can destroy families – even nations. An AARP article caught my attention because of this line: “Talking Can Stop Hate: On a daring trek through the Muslin world, Islamic expert Akbar Ahmed shows how simple conversations can change the minds of the most radical extremists.” Of course I read the article. This was about a journey taken by a Muslim professor at the American University in Washington, D.C and two American honor students in Islamic Studies. They traveled to nine countries in the three major regions of Islam – the Middle East, South Asia, and the Far East – for two months speaking with a wide range of people; from then President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan to students and sheiks, visiting mosques, campuses, and classrooms. Their goal: to change opinions and to better understand Muslim culture – and to show a side of the United States that Muslims rarely see. “On a bumpy van ride to Deoband, an orthodox Islamic school a few hours from Delhi, India, our host, a young man named Aijaz, is politely discussing murder. ‘The actions of Osama bin Laden, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Taliban, even if they kill women and children, are perfectly justified in Islam,’ he tells us. His words are startling – even frightening – but this is why we are here; to talk about our differences and, in doing so, discover our similarities.” This can be a very dangerous world when we err far too often in making blanket presumptions about people we only see and hear via media sound bites. Yet, regardless of our faith choices, we have a distinct responsibility in this world. We are stewards. And as stewards, we have choices to make

– and then there are the consequences. It’s far easier to hate a people group from a distance. But you can't possibly know them personally. Remember the Peace Corps? One of the great byproducts for Americans who serve in the Peace Corps is they get to know the people personally. Both cultures can gain an appreciation for the other. It's been my privilege to take mission trips to the Dominican Republic. The first time I was there, I sifted soil to make concrete for the floor of a pastor’s home. On my second trip, I helped a master carpenter create a jig and made wooden benches. I experienced and saw things that no amount of books could have prepared me for. During each trip I interacted with those I served. My life was personally enriched because of the time I had with people of a different color, different language, different foods, and different climate. I learned to speak with them, laugh with them, worship with them. Rather than different – we were very much the same. Jesus reminds us to treat others as we would want to be treated. We call it the Golden Rule. “We traveled to talk about our differences and to discover our similarities – to find in friendship the basic principles that link us all. We can see into the souls of others only if we take the trouble, and the risk, to visit one another. Only then can change occur. And we saw such change on our trip: in ourselves and in others.” Aijaz totally reversed his opinion about the rightness of murdering others. Be Well.

Robert Cole, pastor of St. Katharine Drexel Church, sits behind the wheel of a 1999 BMW twodoor convertible, which will be raffled this Sunday, Oct. 12, following 10:30 a.m. Mass at the church.

The HDC has been hijacked and is irreparably broken

‘The Grunter’ • Est. 1859 RICHARD PIATT, Publisher THOMAS BEELER, Editor Editorials, while unsigned, represent a consensus of the views of the editorial board of the Granite State News

Public comments should be encouraged, not avoided his week we publish a report on a workshop held in Milton where Dr. Mark Joyce, executive director of the New Hampshire School Administrators Association held a workshop with members of SAU 64, the school board which includes Wakefield. We urge you to read it. In that workshop Joyce addressed the question of how school boards should allow and deal with public input during meetings. He urged the board to use caution in allowing comments from the public, particularly during board discussions, and warned of potential liability if the board allows itself to be swayed by such comments in making a decision without allowing time for additional comment. He advised that when a board does get comment from the public, the board shouldn’t discuss it at the same meeting because it might change the “dynamic of the agenda.” Further, Joyce advised, “When people make a comment don’t respond, ever.” Joyce advises such caution because responding might expose board members to legal liability, presumably through a suit brought by a party who might be unfavorably affected by a board decision. We must admit we were shocked that such a highlyplaced official would give such advice. Imagine for a minute that you are one of the few citizens who take the time to attend a public meeting, whether it is held by a school board, Board of Selectmen, or other panel. If it is a properly-structured meeting there is designated time for public input, either in a public comment section of the meeting or during a formal public hearing. You screw up your courage and speak against an issue or the proposal being heard. If Joyce’s advice is followed, no one responds. You know you spoke, but were you heard? We have been to many meetings where citizens have spoken from the floor. In a good meeting there is a response, even if the respondent on the board disagrees with the speaker. People want to know where their public officials stand on issues and that they are open to comments. Silence is deadly. The worst meetings are those where input is blocked or there is no response. People get angry. Worse, they get turned off. Many assume that the board members have already made up their minds, do not want negatives pointed out and are not prepared to consider alternatives. The democratic process that governs us needs to be open and responsive. RSA 91-A, the statute that deals with public meetings, sets guidelines for how public meetings are to be conducted and defines the narrow exceptions to those guidelines that allow boards to hold nonpublic meetings. The purpose of the law was to ensure transparency and openness in government and to ban practices that promote backroom decisions and old boy networks where who you know and where self interest lies make the difference. We think debate should be public, and public comment should be encouraged in all forums. Public comment should be civil and respectful, and speakers should be encouraged to stick to issues and avoid personal attacks. Little of value comes from angry outbursts and raised voices. Even less of value comes from stonewall silence and lack of response. We agree with Joyce that it makes sense to delay a decision to the next meeting in cases where new elements have been introduced by public comment. However, we disagree strongly with his urging boards never to respond. We should never let fear – especially fear of legal liability – stifle debate.

CORRECTIONS In two articles concerning the High Tea held by the Wolfeboro Historical Society last Sunday, Oct. 4, published on Sept. 24 and Oct. 1, several errors were made. The last name of Adam and Mary Spencer, who portrayed Governor John and Lady Wentworth at the tea, was misspelled in one article as Spenser, and the name of their business, The Country Lady Antiques in Center Os-

sipee (www.countryladyantiques.com), was incorrectly reported as “The Lady Country Antiques.” In our article on the remembrance of 9/11/01 published in the Sept. 24 issue, we reported that Captain Tom O’Brien spoke on behalf of the airline pilots and flight attendants. The speaker was actually Captain Robert Viscio. The Granite State News regrets these errors.

LETTERS

TO THE

EDITOR ■

Thanks to the Rotary Club To the Editor: On behalf of the staff and students at Carpenter School, I wish to extend our sincere appreciation for the support the Rotary has given to us over the years. Many of the Rotarians have given their time to read with individual children while others have supported the children

through their efforts of supplying each third grade child with a copy of “Webster’s International Atlas”. Mr. John Peterson has overseen this project and it has been such a treat observing the children’s pride of being a recipient of their own book when he presents them their copy early in the school year. The

children and their teachers use them frequently and they have become a true resource in their classrooms. Again, the support of Rotary is much appreciated and has made a significant impression on our students. Jan Brooks, Principal Carpenter School Wolfeboro

Wall Street Journal got the green deal wrong To the Editor: In response to Ernie Brown's letter of Oct. 1, "Certainly a green deal for someone," it appears that the Wall Street Journal articles that caused his outrage did not contain the whole story. Please check the www.FiskerAutomotive.com news articles for Oct. 2 and Sept. 22 of this year, "Fisker Automotive Response to False News Reports about Department of Energy Loan." Fisker Automotive is an American company based in Irvine, Calif. The design and engineering and manufacturing of the majority of parts for the Karma were apparently done here. (Fisker contracts out most of its

work rather than hiring large numbers of employees.) Production was sent to Finland only because no suitable facility for the small number of cars to be produced was available in this country. Fisker is building a research center in Detroit. The Karma provided development of the advanced technology necessary for the development and production in the USA of the Nina, the family-oriented car that will sell for about $39,000. The balance of the loan will go toward the Nina project. It will provide a lot of green American jobs. The money provided was a loan, not a gift, and will be paid back with interest. Al Gore joined the venture

capital firm backing Karma in November 2008 after most of the work had been done, including DOE loan negotiation. The Karma was designated the 2009 Production Preview Car of the Year at the North American International Car Show in January 2009. The fact that it is going into production now seems to indicate that it is a proven product. All in all, I do not think there is a basis for "outrage" given the above facts. In fact, I believe we will all benefit from the green car research funded by the Department of Energy under the Obama administration. Martha Pike Brookfield

Medical care is a basic human right To the Editor: That was an excellent question raised by Sheldon Jones, Sept. 24 letter to the editor writing about health care in this country for everyone; he asks, "If others can do it, why can't we?" Indeed, why can't we provide universal health coverage for all Americans? Contrary to conventional American wisdom most developed countries manage health care without resorting to "socialized medicine." Most national health systems are not "socialized" and yet they manage to provide health coverage for everyone.... everyone, and for much less than the U.S. All developed countries have made the essential moral decision that every person shall have access to a doctor when needed and all of them have developed different models to make that guarantee a reality. The United States has yet to decide that it has a moral

obligation to provide health care for everyone. How come in the greatest country in the world 700,000 Americans declare bankruptcy every year because of health expenses... (No other industrialized country would or does let that happen), 15 percent of the American population have no health insurance and 20,000 Americans die annually from treatable diseases because they don't have health insurance? Another basic building block in the health care system of every wealthy country – except the United States – is the principle that financing health care must be a non-profit endeavor. Foreign health insurance plans exist only to pay people's medical bills, not to make a profit. I think we can see why insurance companies are resistant to change and want to keep the status quo.... things are going well for them. The

United States is the only country that lets insurance companies extract a profit for basic health coverage. For-profit health insurance clearly hasn't worked in the United States, which spends more than any other country and still leaves millions without coverage. Our health care system is unraveling... premiums are doubling, employers are dropping coverage, people are losing coverage when they get sick and need it the most, and the cost of health coverage is rising twice as fast as inflation. We need to join the vast majority of the developed world and acknowledge the principle that medical care is a basic human right and build a system that guarantees that right. We are a great nation and we can do it. Sylvia R. Kennedy, M.D. Wolfeboro

Helping support our animals at the shelter To the Editor: In spite of it raining Cats and Dogs last Saturday, causing cancellation of the Lakes Region Humane Society Woofe-Minster Dog Walk, I

would like to thank the participants that did show up with their walk pledges. Even in bad weather, people are out there helping support our animals at the shelter.

Many thanks to all who contributed their time and effort to this event. The animals are very appreciative. Linda Williams Tuftonboro

Over a month has passed since the North Wolfeboro Area Association (NWAA) presented a letter to the Board of Selectmen (BOS) outlining grievances against the Historic District Commission (HDC). This letter, carefully crafted by committee, was authorized by a vote of 50 residents at the NWAA annual meeting on Aug. 15. The selectmen have not responded and one wonders if they ever plan to take action. It is hard to imagine that they would thumb their noses at such a large group of people, all directly impacted by the functioning of the HDC. But this is Wolfeboro, after all, and the voters don't always get their way. The chairman of the HDC has interpreted the silence of the BOS as support for his leadership and the direction in which he and the vice chairman are taking the commission. Nor was there any mention, let alone discussion, of the NWAA letter at the two most recent HDC meetings. The BOS' inaction seems to have emboldened them and they are now hellbent on producing an 18-page document called "Rules of Procedure." This should be a matter of serious concern to every resident of the historic districts and every effort should be made to ensure that they never come into effect. The HDC plans to hold a public hearing later this month (tentatively Oct. 22) at which time the rules will be approved unless there is a concerted public reaction. It is my understanding that the rules will go into effect immediately and will not require approval by the voters. The HDC has been meeting in semi-secrecy for many months to discuss the new rules and other ways to assert tighter control over construction, roofing, painting, repairs and, incredibly, even landscaping. I say semi-secrecy because these bi-weekly meetings do not appear on the posted list of 2009 HDC meetings, nor have they been covered by video until the last meeting on Sept. 24. The HDC claims to have been hard at work on the new rules of procedure for several years, but in fact the text was largely cribbed from that of the town of Amherst. In contrast to Amherst and virtually all other New Hampshire towns with historic districts, Wolfeboro's two historic districts do not have a concentration of built-up historic properties. Instead, we have a large area covering many square miles along more than 15 miles of roads in which there are a number of old properties and an increasing number of new ones. This uniqueness was acknowledged when the first district was adopted in 1977. The intent then was to preserve the 19th century look and feel of this isolated part of town and "prevent the introduction of incongruous or inconsistent elements." I personally believe that the North Wolfeboro Historic District has been SEE OTHER VOICES PAGE A14

LOOKING BACK Edwards (or Edward’s?)-on-Wentworth

Portsmouth has its Wentworth-by-the Sea, and Wolfeboro has its Edwards-on-Wentworth. Or used to. Not anymore. Gone with the wind, or with changing vacation habits, along with the Allen A Resort and most other places that were once magnets for tourists to come and spend a week or two. Today, Clearwater Lodges is alone in this regard, and what a fine place it is. We all know that Wolfeboro is “America’s oldest resort.” Can it still be a resort if the resorts disappear? The other day Elissa Paquette called to ask if I’d write something about Edwards, as under “Our Town” she is doing a piece about Barbara Zulauf, the one-time proprietor [see page B9 of this issue]. It is tricky to write something on request, or it can get out of hand. I write about whatever I please, which is nice. Someday I will write about the “reptiles” on the Main Street Bridge heckling passers by. In this instance, Elissa has been a fine family friend since the mid1980s, and when I wrote the three-volume History of Wolfeboro she contributed several informative pieces. Finding something to illustrate this week’s column was a challenge. No problem if Edwards-on-Wentworth had been around a century ago, as I would probably have a dozen views of it. However, Edwards (or should it be Edward’s?) is recent, sort of. Younger than even the Allen A. Digging around among my 1,001 postcards of Wolfeboro I found one, herewith illustrated, postmarked July 11, 1977, from “Fran” to a friend in Worcester, Massachusetts. “Am having a wonderful vacation,” Fran wrote. “Just love the friends, food & fun.” Returning to the spelling of Edwards vs. Edward’s, it is sort of like “Windemere,” a popular name for cottages and resorts, or should it be “Windermere?” Or the over 50 ways to spell Winnipesaukee. Edward and Barbara Zulauf, who ran the place, rarely used an apostrophe, so I won’t for the

EDWARDS-ON-WENTWORTH as it appeared in the 1970s – cottages spaced along the shore, a popular resort in its day. rest of this article. Walgreens doesn’t use an apostrophe either in its bright red pharmacy signs, and some years back the U.S. Post Office banned all such punctuation in official addresses. So it is Pikes Peak. Opened in 1941, Edwards went under various names over the years, including King’s Wood Farm in 1946. In 1944 it boasted, “50 acres surrounded by water.” Weekly rates per person, including meals, ranged from $35 to $45, about the price of a nice dinner today in 2009. “Your congenial, friendly vacation home, located 1.9 miles from the center of Wolfeboro. Fifty acres of field and woodland bounded by beautiful Lake Wentworth, Smith River, and Crescent Lake. Comprising over a mile of shoreline. Private white sandy beach.” Sounds enticing! At one time in the 1970s the Dinner Playhouse featured food plus performances by the Downeast Players. The Hitching Boy Dining Room attracted patrons. Campers were happy. Then things changed. In 1978, the town approved pans to develop the land as the Edwards-on-Wentworth Subdivision, to be known as Governor’s Landing. The Zulauf family sold out. Plans did not develop as anticipated, and the new owners secured a license to keep the restaurant operating, which it did after a fashion. Septic system problems developed, and there were other obstacles, eventually taken to court in 1987. – Dave Bowers (qdbarchive@metrocast.net)

Find space somewhere for the Coffee Shop

Another bad decision at Huggins To the Editor: I recently read the letter to the editor written by Dave Tower, the President of Huggins Hospital, in defense of the administration’s decision to close the Coffee Shop and expand the Hospital' s cafeteria service. It was a good try to explain a bad decision. I may be mistaken, but I do not know of many people, not associated with the operations of the hospital, who would search out an impersonal cafeteria with a limited selection of institutional food in which to dine. I do know a large number of people, which include hospital personnel, who do prefer to eat at the Coffee Shop where the food is good, reasonably priced, and served up quickly by pleasant people. The people who eat at the Coffee Shop do so because they want to do so. The people who eat at a cafeteria, I suspect, do so because they have to when the Coffee Shop is closed, crowded, or it does not offer what they desire. It would not surprise me if the

hospital administration would like to turn the want tos into have tos by closing the Shop. If you eliminate the competition, people will have no choice but to go get a tray, stand in line, and eat what the hospital offers at whatever price they dictate. If you wish to leave the Hospital to eat, you may have a problem with time and getting a parking place when you return. Is that not what we call a captive audience? We are being told that the space now occupied by the Coffee Shop, which may be 1,000 square feet, will be closed and not used until parking is allocated and permits are received. Is the hospital out of space before it opens the new expansion without consideration for future growth due to parking allocations? Wow. If the space cannot be used, why not keep what you have? I doubt that the patrons of the Coffee Shop add to the parking problem. I may be confused, but I fear that we are not being told

all the facts relative to the proposed closing. It is my guess, and mine alone, that the closing of the Coffee Shop eliminates a source of competition for the new cafeteria and will force everyone at the hospital to use this only supplier of food services. Mr. Tower closed his editorial comments by stating that he hoped that the patients, employees, volunteers, and customers will enjoy this new space, garden, and environment. You had better, for there are no options, except to go elsewhere. This is not what I would call a community spirit, but all is not lost. If you do go to the proposed cafeteria during the winter you will have a beautiful, energy efficient (?) fireplace to enhance your institutional meal which you have carried to your table on a tray. Bad decisions usually create very sad stories and I can only hope that someone steps back and reconsiders this action.

To the Editor: An open letter to David Tower, CEO of Huggins Hospital: Dear Mr. Tower: Huggins Hospital Coffee Shop’s impending demise is one more stab into the body of our community. I’ve spent quite a bit of time at Huggins in the past few years. I’ve seen many couples arrive at the coffee shop for lunch or for coffee after an appointment. Most of them would not and could not make their way through a cafeteria line. Every hospital cafeteria I’ve been in during the past 10 years (at least 15) has had a confusing layout and process for pur-

THE GRANITE STATE NEWS, Thursday, October 8, 2009

ABENAKI FROM PAGE A1

Hipple noted that a permanent snowmaking system certainly wouldn’t increase his department’s labor costs, but would likely decrease them, as the grooming time and the snowmaking time would decrease dramatically with a permanent system in place. “Right now they’re moving it all over the place,” Swaffield said. According to Newman, the permanent snowmaking system, if installed, would allow the ski area to make snow two or three really cold nights early in the season and then if the winter progressed as recent ones have, the system would just be needed for occasional touchup work. The town-owned ski area is a bargain for any skier or snowboarder in the area, with cheap ticket prices, but for a number of years, the hill didn’t open because of the lack of snow. Friends of Abenaki got involved and raised money for the purchase of the groomer and the portable snowmaking systems and the number of visits has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years, with 2,700 documented visits last winter. “We’re on a steady, upward trajectory and that’s just with the equipment we have,” Hipple said. “It gets kids outside in the winter and it’s affordable and easy to get to,” Swaffield said. “It’s a really good way to spend some time in the winter.” Swaffield also noted that with a fully-operational

Abenaki, groups of skiers from local schools could choose to use the area for their skiing programs instead of transporting kids to mountains further away, with King Pine and Gunstock being the current closest areas. Swaffield also noted that former Parks and Recreation Director Don Brookes, who passed away earlier this year, came up to himself and other members of the Friends of Abenaki during the group’s annual pancake breakfast this winter and praised the idea of snowmaking. “He wondered why we couldn’t have done this 30 years ago,” Swaffield said. Newman said that there was talk about installing a snowmaking system back then, but the technology wasn’t what it is today. Additionally, the equipment that the Friends of Abenaki are pursuing is among the “greenest” you can get, using low air, low electricity and a variable speed pump that senses the demand and adjusts its speed accordingly. “It’s so green that PSNH (Public Service of New Hampshire) will give us a break because we’re installing a green product,” Swaffield noted. Parking woes The town also got the good news that one of the biggest problems at the Abenaki/Pop Whalen complex would soon be alleviated, as the parking expansion recently approved by voters got the go-ahead from the state (wetlands were involved). Currently, if there is

a hockey game or tournament going on at the arena, there are almost no parking spots left in the cramped parking lot. The new expansion will take place on the west side of the rink and Hipple noted that, with funds already approved, that project was out to bid and he was hoping to have the work started this fall, in anticipation of the busy hockey and ski seasons at the complex. “We can finally take water out of the pond and you don’t have to park on the side of the highway,” Swaffield said happily. The Friends of Abenaki are hopeful that they can raise some funds soon enough to have the pipes for the snowmaking system installed while the parking lot is being laid out, with the pipes running under the new parking lot beside the arena and up the hill under the main rope tow. Funding The Friends of Abenaki remain hopeful that they can raise the funds to install the permanent system sooner rather than later, but there is no doubt it will require a bit of money. “We need some community support,” Newman said. “We need some people to join Friends of Abenaki, we need to broaden our base.” The improvements for the ski area, paid for completely in donations by the Friends of Abenaki, have been a three-phase process, beginning with the purchase of the new groomer back in the winter of 2005-06. Phase two saw the purchase of the new novice rope tow for the ski area’s kiddie slope in the fall of 2006 and the purchase of the two portable snow guns in the winters of 2006-07 and 200708. To date, the Friends of Abenaki have raised and spent more than $140,000 to improve the ski area, but the permanent snowmaking will be the costliest of the phases. The estimated cost of the system, as proposed by Snow Economics of Natick, Mass., is $300,000, which the Friends of Abenaki are looking to generate through their

fundraising efforts. While not everyone is able to contribute funds, Hipple notes that there are many other ways to help out the Friends of Abenaki. “We can always use volunteers,” he said. “There are other ways people can help Friends of Abenaki.” Newman noted that the Friends of Abenaki will also provide scholarships to those

in the community who want to enjoy the ski area but can’t afford to get on the hill. Swaffield pointed out that the group is simply working to make a town-owned treasure a little better. “It’s owned by the town and run by the town; we’re just helping with the infrastructure,” he noted. The Friends of Abenaki are gladly accepting funds

for the purchase of the new snowmaking system and anyone interested in donating or looking for more information can write to the group at PO Box 506, Wolfeboro, NH 03894. The group’s Web site, www.friendsofabenaki.org, has been experiencing some problems lately, but the group hopes to have it up and running soon.

rules, bolstered its authority and offended the very people it exists to represent. This brings me back to the Rules of Procedure. I viewed the HDC's Sept. 24 "work session" on DVD and was appalled at the discussion of the new rules. There were the usual large doses of the anger, sarcasm and condescension which have come to characterize HDC meetings and in the end the majority (chair, vice chair, BOS rep) got their way, as they always do. The purpose of the meeting was to go through the 18page draft, which had been provided in advance. Two members wanted a thorough discussion of the document and to make substantive changes, but their attempts were rudely rebuffed. If implemented, the new rules will impose stricter conditions than almost every other N.H. town. The draft cannot be fixed by simple word changes, and I believe that a new, simplified document should be produced with public participation. The most egregious features of the document deal with the scope of HDC authority and application procedures. These are interwoven into the document but can be summarized as follows. If the rules are adopted, the HDC will have complete authority over anything requiring a building permit. The town will issue no permit to residents of the historic districts until the HDC has given its blessing. This means delay and inconvenience waiting for the next HDC meeting. In addition, every change proposed within the districts is subject to a public hearing requiring notification of abutters, etc. Prodded by the minority members at the last meeting, the chair, vice chair and BOS rep. stated that a change could include replacement of a screen door with one not exactly the same, addition or removal of shutters, or change in the profile of a building's soffit. As for the application process – already partially

implemented – the new procedure will involve submission of an application at an initial HDC meeting, at which time it will be "accepted" as "complete" and scheduled for public hearing at the next monthly meeting. (I see no reason why the Planning Department cannot perform this function.) If approval is granted at the second meeting, the document advises that no work be started for an additional 20 days in case an "aggrieved party" wishes to appeal. This is not the end, either. The HDC now wishes to participate with the codes officer in occupancy inspections, but even issuance of a certificate of occupancy "does not automatically concede compliance with the Commission's Conditions of Approval." In other words, HDC oversight and snooping never end. As the GSN has noted in its excellent news reporting and two editorials, there are serious problems with the Historic District Commission. I would go one step further and declare that the HDC has been hijacked and is irreparably broken. The NWAA's 50 members called for the BOS to "dissolve the current HDC and reconstitute the Commission with new members and clear directions... to ensure that the HDC functions as originally intended." I don't see why that is so hard to do. I'm sure that some members of the BOS would rather have another warrant article calling for abolition of the districts, but this is not what those of us in the district want. We believe the historic district serves an important function and want a return to the low key, collegial and neighborly HDC which prevailed for 30 years. I call upon all residents of the two districts to contact the selectmen to express their views and to attend the meeting on the proposed new rules later this month. A copy of the [proposed] Rules of Procedure is available in the town Planning Office.

successful in accomplishing these original goals and I believe most of my neighbors would agree, as expressed in the NWAA letter. The old HDC operated in a collegial, neighborly manner commensurate with the nature of our district. Common sense prevailed. The current leadership of the HDC started with the premise that earlier boards had been too lax and had allowed residents to get away with murder. Were there mistakes? Of course, but due mainly to ineffective enforcement of HDC decisions by the town. The application process was relatively painless and decisions were rendered quickly. Repairs, including roofing, were not covered. The present board has instituted increasingly complex procedures often drawn out over a period of months. Since this spring a number of residents had to delay roof repairs until the HDC approved their shingle color. A neighbor was told to remove an attractive iron gate on his driveway even though his non-historic house is not within the historic district. Work to shore up a 200-year-old granite foundation on another house was stopped by the HDC until the owner obtained its approval. I assisted another neighbor in taking before and after photos demanded by the HDC for replacement of a side door on a non-historic garage. Such interference was never intended by voters when the districts were established and is not supported by current residents. The current HDC has unilaterally made its own

board should balance community relations with its responsibility to follow the law. “People will come to the meeting and expect to be a board member and participate with you,” said Joyce. “There have been some court cases that found the board at fault for doing that. The reason is you didn’t notify every citizen they could comment. In other words, you didn’t post your agenda that it’s an open forum.” School board members said they do have public comment sessions listed at the beginning and end of their agendas, but have allowed questions from the public at other times. Wakefield School Board member Peter Kasprzyk said he didn’t understand how a school board could be held liable for taking comments from the public. If someone doesn’t show up, isn’t that his or her own fault? he asked. Joyce replied that someone could make a comment dur-

ing an unassigned period that sways the board’s opinion on a particular issue and that wouldn’t be fair, according to the courts. “No one else in the community had notice that you were taking input from people,” said Joyce. In one case, public input swayed the outcome in awarding a contract, said Joyce. Under the law, everyone has equal opportunity to comment if there is an assigned comment period on the agendas, he said. Further, Joyce said, when a board does get comment from the public, the board shouldn’t discuss it at the same meeting because it might change the “dynamic of the agenda.” “When people make a comment don’t respond, ever,” said Joyce. To increase transparency, board members shouldn’t propose and adopt new policies on the same night. Rather, there should be two readings for policy changes. That way, the public can have

an opportunity to add input, said Joyce. Milton School Board member Jim Clark said if the board gets new information from a public comment that changes the board’s opinion, the discussion is tabled for another day. School board members have the obligation to do most of their business in public; however, the right to know law demands than some business, such as special education matters, be done in private, said Joyce. Kasprzyk said he’s gotten questions from residents that he knows he’s not allowed to answer. During one of the meeting’s public comment periods, audience member Douglas Shute said he hopes the school boards maintain their transparency so they can keep residents’ trust. “You need voters to support what you want and if you don’t you’re not going anywhere,” said Shute. Other responsibilities school board members must

juggle include finance, curriculum and instruction, student services, and maintenance and capital. Curriculum concerned SAU board Chair Luella Snyder, of the Milton School Board, who said she wanted the school district to set higher standards. Joyce replied that school board members have no authority to act on their own but the full board has the power to set goals and policy. The school board should hold the school district responsible for implementing the school board’s policies. One school board made a lot of progress when it stated all the schools in its district would be accredited within a few years. “By stating the goal, it changed everything,” Joyce said. The job of a school board member has become more complicated in the last 30 years because now schools depend more heavily on state and federal money, which comes with lots of regula-

well. Police Chief Andrew Shagoury said that he felt that money spent on topographic mapping of the Gould property would be well spent, arguing that money spent for “solid information now could save dollars down the road.” He also commented that even a combined building could be phased. Duffy made a motion to go ahead and acquire architectectural services to consider the costs and advantages of building a fire station on either the Dearborn or Gould sites and the cost of changing the library over to a police station. Stockman joined the motion. Sundquist voted against it, saying she didn’t see the necessity if the combined building option was off the table. Simms said that he felt that the architect should be told that the purpose is to limit options and the town needs a quick response.

er, in the use of the recently acquired thermal imaging monocular, which measures temperature differences. The certification is necessary in order to lay grounds for a search warrant, and the monocular, in addition to aiding in search and rescue operations and fugitive recovery, is helpful in investigating accidents. For instance, the heat of brake marks on the road gives information on the speed of the vehicle and a difference in heat between marks can show whether one brake was working faster than the other. His year to date statistics show that calls, motor vehicle stops and arrests are up, while accidents are down. Terry Colby turned in the winning bid of $1,558.59 for the town’s former police cruiser, a 2001 Chevy Tahoe. Ten bids were submitted for the vehicle, which has accumulated 127,207 miles.

that she doesn’t plan on attending future meetings. She said she doesn’t feel she has anything to contribute. Plans now call for a bus transportation route from Wolfeboro to Ossipee and along Routes 25 and 16 into North Conway. Laconia is also on the list. Drivers will go one quarter mile off the route upon request. Theve mentioned that Dave Jeffers, a member of the planning board, attends meetings regularly. Copies of the CIP report, focused on planning for the years 2010 through 2019, are available in the Tuftonboro Free Library and the Town Offices and should be up on the town Web site soon. The next meeting of the Board of Selectmen is scheduled for Oct. 26, 7 p.m., at the town offices.

Duffy commented that he felt that the board had given direction to the CIP in regard to a sequence of projects and that the board should stay with that. He read the letter the board planned to send out to architects aloud, and said that he felt that the board already has the answers to most of the questions. Stockman responded that the board does not have figures on operating costs. “There has been no public discussion of this,” said Frago. “ We need cost analysis. We don’t know how much it costs, and we would be foolhardy to go forward without it…At town meeting, people were against the costs.” She added, “I’m not arguing for a combined facility, but the cost figures are necessary…we need to have facts versus feelings.” Simms offered, “We’ve been looking at this for many years. To acquire cost estimates for four options is costly in time and money.” He suggested that the board “pick a direction. Have a cost analysis with an architect. You can then change direction as needed.” The benefit of putting the Dearborn property back on the tax rolls, a position held by Sundquist, was brought up by Ruth Smith, who said that it isn’t worth much but whoever buys it would have to pay taxes. Joan Theve then asked what benefit there is to holding on to it and said that the Gould property gives the town options. Duffy agreed that there is more space, and Sundquist pointed out that it is not between two houses – as the Dearborn property is – to which Stockman responded that there are abutters to the Gould property as

Wolfeboro Police Lt. Dean Rondeau. The 2000 census estimated the town’s population to be 6,300, but Rondeau believes the population is substantially higher today. Rondeau said a few years ago he heard a statistic that the local schools’ student population has grown about five percent on average. The numbers of arrests in Wolfeboro have been tracking upwards for the past three years, according to statistics Rondeau provided. The statistics show the following: 2006 had 344 arrests, 2007 had 434 arrests, 2008 had 400 arrests, and in 2009 between Jan. 1 and Sept. 23 there were 343 arrests. The arrest figures don’t count felony level indictments because they are served by the sheriff ’s office, said Rondeau. Projecting to the end of the year, Rondeau estimates Wolfeboro Police will make another 114 arrests based on the average per month. In Wolfeboro, arrests for driving while intoxicated and drugs seem to be increasing. “Substance abuse is on the rise,” said Rondeau. In 2007 there were 55 drug arrests. In 2008 there were 40 drug arrests, and from Jan. 1 to Sept. 23 there have already been 62.

There were 33 DWI arrests in 2008. From Jan. 1 2009 to Sept. 23, there were 35. Theft and assault arrests numbers are on track to be similar to last year’s totals. In 2008, police arrested 19 people for theft and 37 for assault. As of Sept. 23, there were 15 people arrested for theft and 30 arrested for assault. In the last three years, juvenile crime has been on the decrease, said Rondeau. The median age of an arrestee is about 30, he said. Rondeau praised several community organizations that have been providing activities for youth. “We have a lot of people that are very involved in the community,” said Rondeau. “That’s huge.” The jail statistics are as follows: In 2004, there were 367 prisoners from outside the county; 156 from Ossipee; 121 from Conway and 114 from Wolfeboro. In 2005, there were 356 prisoners from outside the county; 148 from Ossipee; 118 from Conway, and 82 from Wolfeboro. In 2006, there were 318 prisoners from outside the county; 152 prisoners from Ossipee; 117 prisoners from Conway; and 90 from Wolfeboro.

Knight stick girls best pair of rivals BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — Kingswood and Kennett traditionally put on some of the fiercest battles in Class I field

hockey. Each time the two teams meet, no matter what the fortunes of either team, it is sure to be a game to be seen and this year has been no ex-

ception. Back on Sept. 4 the two teams played to a scoreless tie in North Conway and on Tuesday, Sept. 29, the Eagles visited Wolfeboro where the

Knights came away with a hard-fought 3-2 win over their county rivals. The Knights wasted no time in taking the lead on their home field, as they

other end, with Roberts doing her job to shut down the scoring bids. Kingswood had two corner kicks in the final minutes of regulation, but the Kennett defense cleared the first one from the goal mouth and

drove down the field and Miranda Clark put the ball past Kennett keeper Faye Roberts within the first minute of play. Kennett came right back and moved the ball down the field in the other direction, but the Kingswood defense and keeper Renee Bernier held the ground and didn’t allow the tying goal to find the net. And it didn’t take the Knights long to double their lead, as less than five minutes in, Sasha McCormick drilled in the Knights’ second goal of the game and Kingswood was off to a 2-0 lead. Kingswood continued to control the pace of the game, keeping the ball in their offensive end for a while, but eventually, the Eagles were able to pull the ball out from in front of their goal and move it up the field. Bernier made a save on a Kennett penalty corner chance, but a second corner went better for the Eagles, as Sam Meader banged home the ball with less than 14 minutes remaining in the first half. The goal seemed to spark the Eagles a bit, as they came out and went right back into the zone, forcing Bernier to make a couple of saves. And with just more than seven minutes to play in the contest, the Eagles completed their comeback, tying the game at two on a goal by Vicky Weigold, who was returning to the lineup after missing extensive time do to illness. Kennett continued to pressure but Bernier was up to the task, turning away a couple of chances and the Knights were able to get a few shots in on Roberts before the half drew to a close and the rain settled in over The Nick. Kingswood came in with pressure early, but the Eagles responded with some of their own. The two teams went back and forth with the pressure, with Kennett sending the ball through the crease and the Knights getting a good corner opportunity. Bernier made perhaps the save of the day, diving after a loose ball and teammate Erin Maguire turned in a solid defensive play to keep Kennett from charging too much. Abby Gutowski and Elyce Clancy had a good chance for Kennett, but the ball was tipped wide off Clancy’s stick, while at the other end, it was McCormick charging

Knight girls tie Eagles, knock off Bobcats BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — The Kennett and Kingswood girls’ soccer teams battled through the wind and rain and even after 100 minutes of soccer, neither team could claim victory. For that matter, neither team could claim a goal, as the two Carroll County Class I squads played to a 0-0 tie at The Nick in Wolfeboro on Tuesday, Sept. 29. That’s not to say that neither side had their chances, as both teams had the opportunity to net a goal and claim victory, but things didn’t work out on either side of the ball. Kingswood opened the game with offensive pressure, shooting one shot wide and forcing Kennett keeper Brie Roberts to make a save on another, but Kennett answered right back, as Maddy Smith sent a shot on net that Kingswood keeper Erin Deely managed to haul in. Kingswood came right back down the field and again forced Roberts to come out to make a save, which the Eagles were able to turn into one of the best scoring chances of the day.

After a good effort by Courtney Phelps to move the ball up the field through some strong Kingswood defense, Smith drilled a shot that seemed destined to find the top of the net for a Kennett lead. However, the ball rang hard off the cross bar and bounced back out, where the Knights were able to clear the ball and quickly work it down the other way for a scoring chance of their own, which Roberts snatched up. Kennett’s Kendra Strong had a shot at the net turned away by Deely and Kingswood’s Kelsey Rodgers made a nice move before sending a shot just wide of the net. Kim Hennigan made a bid to put Kennett on the board, but Kingswood defenders Shelby Sawyer and Angie Bergeron were able to cut down the drive. Kingswood sophomore Megen Pollini drove a nice shot on a corner kick towards the net, but Roberts was able to get a finger on it and send it wide. The two teams went back and forth for the remainder of the half, with both goalies forced to make at least one

Great soccer, playoff baseball and more random thoughts As the weather quickly turns from summer to fall, it’s time to jot down some random thoughts to fill the weekly space. Last Friday, Oct. 2, was not my day in a wide variety of ways. However, it ended on a pretty good note when I won the 50/50 raffle at the Kingswood Homecoming football game. Many thanks to the cheerleaders who sold me the winning ticket. Over the course of two days last week, I saw two of the best soccer games I’ve seen all year. On Oct. 1, the Kennett boys battled St. Thomas in North Conway, eventually losing a 4-3 decision in a great back and forth fight. The next afternoon the

SPORTING CHANCE By JOSHUA SPAULDING

Prospect Mountain boys held Gilford scoreless in the first half and only allowed the high-flying Golden Eagles one goal in a 1-0 loss in Alton. I’ve loved the new television season and out of the gate, my favorite new shows are FlashForward and Modern Family on ABC, Glee on Fox and despite its total over the top cheesiness, the new Melrose Place on the CW. My old favorites are back strong as well with some great episodes to start the season. The new Survivor has proved

to be quite interesting and I liked the premier of the new season of The Amazing Race last Sunday. To make matters better, there are still the new seasons of Lost and Friday Night Lights to look forward to in the coming months. It seems hard for me to believe that the fall season is coming to a close. By the time this hits the streets, there will be two weeks or less left in every team’s regular season with the exception of football, which finishes the regular season on Oct. 30. Playoff games will continue after that point for those teams that qualify, but it does seem to me like the teams just started play last week. It’s been a busy month-plus,

which is probably why the time has flown by so quickly. I was at work at my second job on Sunday when the Patriots got started against Baltimore and I listened to the first part of the game on the radio, but did make it home to catch most of the fourth quarter on television and from what I saw of Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco in the final frame, I was impressed. If his receivers could catch the ball, the Ravens just may have beaten the Pats. I am excited for the Red Sox in the postseason, but unfortunately that means having to deal with the horrible national broadcasters instead of the great NESN

crew. I have a feeling I’ll be turning to Joe Castiglione and Dave O’Brien on the radio for many of the contests. Finally, I want to take a couple of lines to wish a happy birthday to my mother, who celebrates on Saturday and my friend Vanessa, who turns 21 on Monday. While I don’t celebrate my own birthday, I have no problem celebrating other people’s days.

Lebanon spoils Homecoming for Knights BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — Had the Kingswood football team played against Lebanon on Homecoming the same way they played against Monadnock and Plymouth in previous weeks, there’s a pretty good chance the outcome of the game would’ve been in the Knights’ favor. However, the Kingswood squad wasn’t quite up to par on Friday, Oct. 2, and dropped a 28-13 decision to the Raiders of Lebanon as part of Homecoming for the Knights. The evening started out well enough for Kingswood, as the Knights held the Raiders on the game’s first drive and took over on offense relatively quickly. Tate Jozokos, Dana Mahar, Kohl Meyers and Isaac Horton moved the ball for the Knights, with the key plays coming on a pitch to Mahar on second down that netted 13 yards and a quarterback keep on third and one that put the Knights past midfield with a first down. However, the Knights couldn’t convert on fourth and sixth and Lebanon took over. Two long runs later, Lebanon was at the five-yard line and two plays later the visitors were in the end zone for a 6-0 lead with 4:19 to play in the first quarter. Kingswood got one first

EVERETT WYERS hauls in a pass from quarterback Tate Jozokos during action against Lebanon on Friday, Oct. 2. down on the ensuing drive, that coming off a Lebanon penalty, but the Knights still couldn’t move the ball and were forced to punt. However, good defense from Horton and Meyers on the next Lebanon drive led the Raiders to punt away and the first quarter closed out with the visitors holding the 6-0 lead. Kingswood started the second quarter by eating up almost four minutes of the

clock with a drive that started at midfield. Aaron Vaillancourt made a third down run to put the ball at the 38-yard line. The next third down saw Jozokos hit Mahar for a first down at the 28-yard line. After an incomplete pass, Jozokos hit Everett Wyers for a first down at the 14-yard line and from there, Jozokos carried the ball in with 8:25 to play in the half. Andrew Souther added the extra point and the

Knights had their first lead of the game at 7-6. However, Lebanon took over on the next drive and marched the ball 65 yards down the field, using only the ground game until third and goal at the 10-yard line, where the quarterback tossed a touchdown pass with 3:48 to play in the half. The extra point was good and the Raiders had a 13-7 lead. Kingswood went three and out on the next drive, but the

Golfers tee off in memory of Trooper Gary Parker WOLFEBORO — On Sept. 21, the Trooper Gary Parker Memorial Golf Tournament teed off at the Kingswood Golf Club. It was an exceptional day, weatherwise, to play golf. Everyone was on the course at 8:30 a.m. and returned hungry for

lunch. The first place team was Tim Melanson, Harold Parker, Matt Hale and Chris Titus. Second place went to Craig Wiggin, Vin Kondratas, Brian Loanes and Scott Davis. Third place went to Victor Drouin, Catherine

Drouin, Moe Chagnon and Doug Wolf. The longest drive for the men was Stu Chase, while the longest drive for the women was Carol Smith. Scott Davis won the closest to the pin contest. Another year of a won-

derful time and fun while raising scholarship funds for graduating seniors has concluded. The Trooper Gary Parker Memorial Golf Tournament organizers offer a big thank you to all players and sponsors.

Raiders did as well, closing out the first half with a 13-7 lead. While the Knights got the ball to start the second half, it was the Raiders who got on the board first. After two runs by Horton got the Knights out to the 44-yard line, a sack pushed them back eight yards and on second and 18, Jozokos was picked off by a Lebanon defender. Two plays later, the Raiders were in the end zone and with the extra point, took a 20-7 lead with 8:57 to play in the third quarter. Kingswood went three and out on their next drive and Lebanon ate up a lot of clock on the ground with their next drive, eventually taking the ball into the end zone from 24 yards out. The extra point was missed, but a late penalty call allowed the Raiders to try again and this time they connected on the two-point conversion, giving them a 28-7 lead with 2:25 to play in the third quarter. Meyers sparked the offense with a kickoff return to the 23-yard line on the next drive and it took the Knights just three plays to get into the end zone, as Horton ran for four yards, then ran again (with the help of a Lebanon penalty) to put the Knights at the nine-yard line and Jozokos carried in from there. The extra point missed and Kingswood trailed 28-13 with 1:25 to go in the third quarter. Lebanon tried to move the ball on the next drive, but the Kingswood defense, led by Mahar, kept them from getting anywhere and the visitors punted away. However, an interception on the Knights’ third play of the next drive gave the ball right back to Lebanon. Again the Kingswood defense stood strong, with Vaillancourt breaking up a third and five pass, forcing Lebanon to punt again. Kingswood moved the ball on the next drive, with passes to Meyers and Wyers getting first downs and moving the ball all the way to the 29yard line. However, an interception in the end zone killed the Kingswood rally and

Lebanon had the ball back. Mahar was again the man on Kingswood defense, as he continually did his part to stuff the Lebanon running game, hitting the Raiders in the backfield on more than one occasion. Kingswood still had a chance to pull closer, as the Knights took over at the 41yard line and Jozokos quickly hit Ethan Ball for a first down across midfield. After a busted play on second down, Jozokos hit Wyers to put Kingswood within just inches of a first down. However, the Raiders stopped Jozokos on the fourth down attempt and got the ball back. The visitors went three and out and Kingswood had one final chance to put some more points on the board, but Jozokos was picked off and the Raiders were able to run out the clock by taking a knee for the 28-13 win. “Defensively, when they go smash mouth on us, it’s hard to make adjustments,” coach Matt Jozokos said. “We made those adjustments at halftime and it helped, but offensively, we weren’t clicking tonight.” The Knight coach praised Mahar for his great work on defense and also commended Nate Nichols, who stepped in for injured captain Sam Walsh at defensive end and more than held his own. “We came out flat and we’re not good enough to come out flat,” Jozokos said. “We weren’t ready to play and that’s a true statement. “They have the desire to win and the fight, it’s a matter of putting the pieces together,” he continued. The Knights will hit the road for a big game at Hanover on Friday, Oct. 9, and Jozokos said he will be looking for the seniors to step up during practice all week to help the team get ready for the Marauders. “We need some senior leadership and this week I am calling out the seniors to step it up,” the Knight coach said. The Knights and Marauders will kick off at 7 p.m. in Hanover on Friday, Oct. 9.

Fast times abound for Knights in Northwood BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

NORTHWOOD — The Kingswood boys’ cross country team put together its best team performance of the year at a soggy Black Bear Invitational at Coe-Brown Academy in Northwood on Saturday, Oct. 3. The Knights set four PRs on the day, but 11 runners put together their second-fastest

times and five ran seasonbest times. Coach Fergus Cullen noted that the kids who “just missed” setting new PRs likely would’ve hit the record had the course been a bit drier. Additionally, he pointed out that the Kingswood boys were seventh out of 21 Class I schools, meaning the team has a shot at making the Meet of Champions with a bit of

improvement over the next few weeks. “If the boys can find another 50 points (that is, 10 places per man), they have a shot at making the Meet of Champs,” Cullen noted. For the boys, Brendan Stackhouse was again the class of the field, finishing in 17:17 for a season best time. Dan Cronin earned Beast of the Meet honors for his

second-fastest time ever and 28 seconds off his time on the same course a year ago. Ben Donahue chopped 28 seconds off his personal best time and more than two minutes off his time from a year ago and finished in 18:39 to take third among the Knights. Chris Brooks set a new PR by 19 seconds and was also more than two minutes faster than his time from a year ear-

Valiant effort comes up short in Plymouth BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — The Kingswood boys’ soccer team played probably its best game of the season on Friday, Oct. 2, as they traveled to Plymouth to take on the Bobcats. However, when the final whistle blew, the hosts had a 4-s win despite the great play from the Knights all afternoon. The two teams battled through a scoreless tie through the first 30 minutes, but the hosts got on the board first, sneaking a shot past keeper Casey Lush. The Knights looked to tie the game quickly, as Mac Tetreault was in on net on two separate occasions, only to see the Plymouth keeper pick up bobbled balls each time, just as the Knight freshman was ready to drive them into the net. With the Bobcats clinging to a 1-0 lead at halftime, the Knights came out and promptly tied the game just more than six minutes in. Scott Chrysafidis placed a shot from outside the box onto the crossbar. The ball deflected down to freshman Vinson Pflug and he volleyed the ball in with his left foot, boosting Kingswood’s spirits as they headed back up the field. The Bobcats came back and netted the go-ahead goal 25 minutes into the second, but 10 minutes later, the Knights came back to tie the game yet again. Again, it was Chrysafidis providing the start to the play, as he fought through three Plymouth defenders

and got off a perfect cross to fellow captain Jeremy Souther. Souther ran through the ball and bumped it in with his chest for the tying goal. “Scott played so tough, he seemed to win every ball that was near him,” coach Ned Schwartz praised. The third goal of the game for the Bobcats was a tough one for the Knights to swallow, as it deflected off the foot of a Kingswood defender and past Lush into the net. Schwartz noted that the play was nearly a successful attempt at blocking a shot from one of the Plymouth forwards with two minutes left. Trailing by one with only minutes remaining, the Knights put everything they had into the offensive attack and the ensuing drop on defense allowed the Bobcats to score a final tally just before the whistle. Schwartz offered praise to Lush, who he said made some “breathtaking” saves on the afternoon and also pointed out other players who more than carried their weight. Jean-Marc Dorestant played strong defense and used his flip throw to put the Plymouth defense in a tough situation on more than one occasion. Ryan Leclere earned Schwartz’s praise as a “beast” who was key in the Knights’ efforts. Sean Palumbo played strong defense and Sebastien Salgado

Mariah Kendrick was fourth for the Knights in 25:14 and was 31 seconds faster than a week earlier in Manchester. Erin Hamill had a season best time of 25:24, while Emma DiPrizio was just five seconds off her PR at 26:34. Lauren Burkhardt had a season best 27:40, with Kyra Atwell running to her second-fastest time in 30:46. Mercedes Perkins hit a PR for the fourth race in a row, this time taking 30 seconds off her fastest time and crossing in 34:40. The girls were running without two of their top runners, Anna Vaughn and Haley Heinrich, both of whom were out sick. The Knight coaching staff offered its thanks to all the high school runners who helped out at the Oct. 2 middle school meet, which featured almost 280 runners. Cullen noted that he had many compliments on the middle school meet while at Coe-Brown on Saturday. “That really reflects well on our program and school,” Cullen noted. The Knights will hit the road to Conway for the annual Kennett Invitational, which will get under way at 4 p.m. today, Oct. 8, at the former high school (now the middle school) in Conway Village.

Knights net game win but fall to Sachems BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — The Kingswood volleyball team was unable to snatch a victory from a depleted Laconia Sachems squad on Monday, Sept. 28, though the Knights did record their first game win of the season. After the JV Knights pulled off the 2-1 win over the Sachems with a 15-10 win in the third game, the varsity Knights took the court and played toe-to-toe with the Sachems in the early going. Aces from Rachel Kurzawa and Meg Murfey and a nice play from Ellen Dunn at the net helped keep the Knights even through the first eight points at 4-4. The Sachems were able to stretch the lead a bit from there, upping the lead to 10-4 before strong play from Sarah Beckwith helped cut into the lead a bit. An ace from Jenna Sharrow and a kill from Kurzawa kept the Knights within striking distance and another strong play from Dunn pulled

Kingswood to within three at 16-13. However, the Sachems kept pulling away and despite nice plays from Brittany Newlin and Kelsey Libby were able to take the first game by a 25-16 score. The Knights fell behind early in the second game, with plays from Dunn and Newlin keeping them within striking distance at 9-3. However, a kill from Kurzawa, an ace from Beckwith and another good play from Beckwith helped pull the Knights closer. Murfey and Sharrow teamed up to cut the lead to two at 11-9 and two aces in a row from Kurzawa tied the game at 11. The Sachems came back and pushed the lead to 15-12, but good play from Kassie Hodgson, Newlin and Dunn allowed the Knights to tie the game at 15. Again, the Sachems took the lead, but Kingswood didn’t back down, with Kurzawa getting a big kill to pull her team within one and Beckwith giving the Knights the lead with an ace.

An ace from Kurzawa and a strong play from Dunn put the Knights on the verge of their first game win of the season and Kurzawa delivered another ace to give Kingswood the 25-21 win. Game three went back and forth the entire way, with neither team able to build much more than a five-point lead at any point in the contest. Kurzawa had back-to-back aces in the early portion of the game and also had some great play away from the service line, teaming with Sharrow and Beckwith to send the Knights ahead by an 8-3 score. The Sachems rallied, however, and came back to take a 12-8 lead before a Sharrow ace got Kingswood back on track and the Knights were able to surge to the lead at 1412. The Sachems kept coming and retook the lead at 16-14 and then slowly began to stretch the lead out. Only strong play from Sharrow, Murfey and Beckwith kept Laconia from pulling away, though the Sachems did take

the 25-22 win and a 2-1 lead. Game four was also a tight affair, with Kingswood jumping out to an early 3-0 lead, with Kurzawa leading the way with an ace on the second point. Sarah Saltzman netted a trio of aces to up the Kingswood lead to 9-4 and a Sharrow ace and strong play from Hodgson and Kurzawa upped the lead to 12-5. However, it was the Sachems who grabbed the momentum, as they climbed back into the game and tied the score at 12. From there the two teams went back and forth, with Beckwith and

Kurzawa leading the way for Kingswood. Behind great serving from Murfey, the Knights rallied from a 22-18 deficit and came roaring back to take a 23-22 lead, but the Sachems sealed the win with the final three points and took the 25-23 victory and the 3-1 overall win. “We’ve been working on defense all season and it’s still a weak point for us,” said coach Mary Wakefield. The Knight coach had called up a number of JV players to help round out the bench in the search for a winning combination and an eye toward the

future. “We have to look toward the future,” she said. She noted that the service line is probably the Knights’ strength right now, but they still have lots of work to do. “We still don’t own our house and I think we need to own our house,” she said. “We’re getting there, but we still have some work to do.” The Knights dropped their Homecoming contest to Plymouth on Friday, Oct. 2, by a score of 3-0. Next up for Kingswood is a game at Plymouth on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 6 p.m.

Brewster squads see full slate of action WOLFEBORO — The Brewster Bobcat field hockey team showed great team effort on Saturday during its first home game of the season. Brewster dominated play against Class B Cushing Academy but could not turn pressure into points despite a number of close calls to goal. Junior Jessie Howard (Kingston, Ontario) was strong in the midfield winning balls and creating plays, and sophomore Toni DiGeronimo (Glen) tackled well in defense to break down the Cushing momentum. Brewster had more shots on net and more short corner opportunities than their opponents but couldn’t convert. The game remained scoreless at the half but 10 minutes into the second half Cushing capitalized on a breakaway. Cushing shot from outside the circle and the ball deflected off the defense to bring it to 1-0. Brewster continued with dogged effort down to the final minute with some exciting surges to net but couldn’t change the final outcome. Boys' soccer The Brewster boys' soccer team opened its Lakes Region campaign last Wednesday with a win against Proctor Academy. The Bobcats sealed the win by halftime, where they led 2-0 and held on until the final whistle. Senior Mike DiPalma (Merrimack) opened the scoring when he collected a long pass over the top of the defense from sophomore sweeper Bobby McSweeney (Stow, Mass.) and drove by one defender to slot it into the back of the net at the 11:25 mark. In the 37th minute junior winger Jimmy Murphy (Duxbury, Mass.) connected inside the box off of a low cross from

the sophomore midfielder Brian Hart (Cumberland, Maine). Brewster looked to finish the game with more goals, but some of the obvious chances remained elusive. Freshman keeper Davis Olson (Colorado Springs, Colo.) played confidently and recorded his first high school shutout. Playing well with intensity and skill for Brewster were sophomore defender Evan Cohn (Columbus, Ohio), senior midfielder JaeChan Park (Daegu, Korea), and senior defender Matt Stavis (Hamilton, Mass). On Saturday Brewster traveled to Tilton but left deflated after giving up three unanswered goals. A couple of defensive errors cost the Bobcats and put two on the board for Tilton early on. Tilton controlled play for the first 30 minutes but after that the battle between the two sides evened out. Attacking midfielder Hart found himself inside the box twice with great opportunities, sending one off the left post and the other inches wide off of a sliding one-timer in the sixyard box. These were the best chances of the game for the Bobcats. Brewster had a hard time getting back into the game and Tilton added another goal for the 3-0 win.

KNOCK FROM PAGE B1

Roberts made a save on the second one. Phelps had a shot soar wide for Kennett and the two teams were destined for overtime. The end of the first 10minute overtime proved to be the most exciting portion of the extra frame, as Kennett came charging down the field looking to capture win number one on the season. Smith sent a nice cross to Strong on the near side of the field and she had an angle to beat Deely, but the ball bounced just wide and the teams huddled up for a second overtime. Rodgers took the ball right in for Kingswood, but her shot was wide. Smith had two good chances for Kennett, but both direct kicks sailed wide. Kingswood had its’ best chance of the extra frames minutes later, as Rodgers chased down a loose ball in the box. However, Roberts, charging out of the goal mouth, had the same idea and the two collided, with Roberts coming up with the ball. Both goalies made saves in the final few minutes of the second overtime, but neither team scored and the girls

walked off the field with a 00 tie. “They played hard, but Kennett came out strong and working hard,” Kingswood coach Paul Harvey said. “Our girls started to put a few things together, but we missed on a few opportunities that really hurt. “But, we got lucky when Kennett missed a few too,” he continued. “The girls know that they should’ve finished it when they had the chance.” Harvey praised Rhianna Llewellyn and Pollini for turning in solid games when three players had to come out at different times throughout the game. “The girls stepped up and they did all right,” Harvey noted. “In the second half we played much better,” said Kennett coach Bob Moore, noting that he subbed only once in the entire second half. “They started playing pretty well so I was pleased. “It would’ve been nice to have won, but we didn’t lose, so we’ll take it,” he continued. The veteran mentor noted that his team is always plenty aggressive in practices but when it comes to games, that doesn’t always translate. “But that comes when you play more and more,” he

More Knights Kingswood celebrated Homecoming in style with a 3-1 win over Plymouth on Friday, Oct. 2. “The girls are slowly getting back to the way we started,” said Harvey. “Having everyone getting healthy again is kind of nice.” Pollini curled in a corner kick for the Knights’ first goal of the afternoon, while picking up an assist on a Rodgers tally for the second goal. Pollini also scored the third goal of the afternoon, drilling the ball home on a

ASHLAND — Kingswood seniors Dylan Lovering and Matt Boucher closed out their high school golf careers at the Class I Championships on Thursday, Oct. 1, at White Mountain Golf Club in Ashland. When all was said and done, Boucher had fired an 89 and Lovering a 90 for the 18 holes. “Both boys played well,” said coach Warren Tickle. “They played just about their average for the year.” Tickle noted that both of the Knight golfers would shoot a couple of strong holes, but would then hit a string of tough holes that would push the score up. “I thought they held things together pretty well,”

coach Kaitlin Riley praised the Knights’ resiliency in fighting back. “The important thing was they were able to get it back when they needed to in order to get where we wanted,” Riley said. “At this point in the season, we need to do that and it’s great that they proved to themselves they can do it against a very good opponent.” She noted that the Knights also learned that celebrating an early lead can lead to the other team getting back into the contest and against good teams, that can come back to bite a squad. “The hardest part is men-

tally keeping your game plan even when rattled,” Riley said. “It’s a big deal when you can do that against Kennett.” For Kennett coach Ivy Ward-Spencer, the heartbreak was in the two early goals that were her team’s downfall. “We never should’ve let those two goals in,” she said. The first-year head coach was happy that her team was able to rally back, but noticed that they never really picked it up in the second half in order to get the lead. “I think one thing that happened was after we scored the first and even the second goal, we kind of held

the ball and pushed it in their end and couldn’t get over the hump,” she said. “We need to come out at the beginning of the game and not give up the early goals that put is in a hole.” Following the game, the Knights played host to the Eagles under the pavilion at The Nick, providing sandwiches, snacks and drinks to the visitors. “We’re opponents off the field, but we like to take care of them and want to support them in all they’re going through this year,” said Riley, pointing to the loss of coach Deryl Fleming as a tough road for everyone.

said. Moore also praised Pollini for her booming corner kicks for the Knights. “I was scared on their corners,” he said. “She puts the ball in there perfectly.” More Eagles The Eagles headed south to Dover to take on St. Thomas on Thursday, Oct. 1, and came away with a 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Saints. Next up for the Eagles will be a trip to Plymouth today, Oct. 8, for a 4:15 p.m. contest with the Bobcats. On Tuesday, Oct. 13, the girls welcome Portsmouth to town for a 4 p.m. game.

set play for a 3-0 lead. The Knights surrendered a goal at the beginning of the second half to cut the lead to 3-1, but that was as close as they got. “We were caught a little flat,” said Harvey. “Sometimes with a three-goal lead, you don’t star out as hungry as normal.” The veteran coach praised

Rodgers and Brittany Roy for strong games and also was able to put McKenzie Porter in goal for the second half, while Deely got the chance to play on the field. “It was a good confidence game for us because we were able to move the ball well and created numerous opportunities to put the ball in,” Harvey commented. “It was a full

team effort.” The Knights will head to Laconia on Friday, Oct. 9, for a 3:30 p.m. game with the Sachems and they will head to Souhegan on Monday, Oct. 12, for a 4:15 p.m. contest. The girls host their final home game on Thursday, Oct. 15, at 4 p.m. against St. Thomas.

in for Kingswood, only to be denied by the Kennett defense. And it was McCormick who provided the difference with just minutes to go in the contest, as she scored after a Kingswood penalty corner to give the host Knights a 3-2 lead. Kennett came right back and tried to tie the game with some good scoring chances, but the Eagles couldn’t find the net and the Knights held on for the win.

More Knights For Kingswood, it was about as good a week as could be expected, as the Knights followed up their win over

Kennett with a tie at Lebanon on Wednesday, Sept. 30, and a 2-0 Homecoming win over Plymouth on Friday, Oct. 2. With all the hype surrounding Homecoming Week at Kingswood, Riley knew that many of her kids would have a lot of irons in the fire, serving on the various committees that helped to organize school events. “We tried to channel that emotion into a calm, poised, competitive way, and they were able to do that,” she said. “They knew if they could take the lead (against Plymouth) they could get in the flow of things.” And take the lead is just what the Knights did, scoring early on their way to the 2-0 win, their second win over a regional rival in four days. “It was very impressive to see their focus able to carry

over on the field hockey field,” Riley pointed out. “We fell apart a little in the second half and gave up a ton of corners, but we were able to hang in there.” Against Lebanon, the Knights came back to tie the game in the second half and battled through two overtimes before settling for a 1-1 tie. “That was a really competitive game,” said the Knight mentor. “They weren’t satisfied walking away with a tie, but they were pleased we were able to come back from behind because that’s something we’ve struggled with.” The Knights have just one game remaining on the regular season schedule, as they head to Plymouth on Tuesday, Oct. 13, for a 4 p.m. game.

Wakefield Theater Company’s first production opens Oct. 16 WAKEFIELD — The Broadway comedy, “Alone Together Again,” will be the newly-formed Wakefield Theater Company’s first presentation and opens at the Wakefield Opera House in Sanbornville on Oct. 16. In this hilarious comedy, directed by Buck Ryan, Mom and Dad have spent 30 years raising three sons who have left the nest, and they are looking forward to peace and quiet since they are now alone. However, peace and quiet do not last long when the nest fills up again by the sudden arrival of their par-

ents, each with a problem to dump on Mom and Dad. After comic turmoil and the revelation of deep feelings, the nest is emptied once more so Mom and Dad can be “Alone Together Again.” This cleverly comic, witty and wise play, which has delighted audiences in Europe as well as the United States, is produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. Performance dates are Friday and Saturday, Oct. 16 and 17 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. Tickets for adults are $1. For children

EFFINGHAM — Poets and artists capture images from the world around them and share those images to awaken the senses and bring stories and feelings to life. On Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. in the meeting room of the Effingham Public Library, former Portsmouth poet laureate Mimi White and artist Magi Leland will present poetry and writing from the 2008 Washline Project. White will also read from her published collections of poetry. In the Washline Project – initiated by White and coordinated by Leland as members of the Rye Energy Committee – a group of artists painted clotheslines over the summer months to promote awareness of the positive environmental impact of line drying, while capturing the beauty through color, light and shadow of fabrics flapping in the breeze. White, poet and teacher, has been working for more than 25 years with students of all ages to help them create original and authentic work, be it poetry, memoir or nonfiction writing. She has worked in a variety of settings including schools, libraries, prisons, elderly housing, and universities. She has been a member of the faculty at the University of New Hamp-

Minding your Business

Time-out or Top-out? BY AL GOLDMAN Chief Market Strategist, Wells Fargo Advisors

You almost have to pity the bearish market analysts. While the S&P 500 rose 60% from its March 9 lows, those grumpy folks have missed the whole party. But even worse, anyone who listened to them – and there were lots – has been sitting on cash receiving very low interest rates and not having any fun. To maintain some degree of sanity, the disbelievers have come up with all kinds of reasons that the stock market has been “wrong” and never should have gone up. Denial may help them maintain some degree of sanity, but it surely has been expensive. But, are the bears finally right? Last week the market declined three days in a row, which represented a little (very little) fuel for their misplaced opinions. Most bears are not dumb. The problem that many folks run into is that they believe they are smarter than the stock market. This tragic error is usually caused by investors who are focused on the current news and not on what market action is saying about the future. OK, three days down in a row and probably a few more to come this week. Last week in our Weekly Market Commentary we stated “the stock market needs a breather, and in fact, one is overdue.” Now that one has apparently

Like a tiresome dinner guest, the recession has long outstayed its welcome. But there are some clear signs that the economy has begun to turn around. If that is indeed the case, how should you, as an individual investor, respond? Before we get to that question, let’s quickly review some of the key factors that suggest the recession may be ending. First, we’ve seen four straight months of gains by the Conference Board’s Index of Leading Economic Indicators. Also, the job market is improving somewhat and bank lending is increasing. The Federal Reserve’s efforts to stabilize the financial system have improved conditions in the corporate credit markets, as indicated by a dramatic increase in the amount of new bonds issued by companies thus far in 2009. We’ve also seen improvements in the housing market and in industrial production..

Even if all this evidence indicates the recession is ending, does that necessarily mean that boom times for investors will follow? A look back in time shows reasons for optimism. In 10 recessions, extending from 1949 through 2001, the S & P 500 rose, on average, 9.5 percent six months following the recession’s end date, and 15.5 percent after 12 months, according to Ned Davis Research. Of course, as you have no doubt heard, past performance is no guarantee of future results, but in years gone by, staying in the market rewarded long-term investors – those who could look beyond the recession at hand. In any case, if the recession is ending, let’s return to our original question: What investment moves should you make? As we’ve already seen, the most important step you can take is to remain invested – and if you’re out of the market, consider getting back in. As exhibited by the strong market rally this summer, large gains can come quickly, but they only come to those who aren’t on the investment sidelines. In addition to staying invested, consider these other post-recession moves – which are actually pretty good moves before and during a recession, as well: - Look for quality. In any economic environment, you’ll be making a smart move by focusing on quality investments that fit your unique situation. You may look for the stocks of those companies with strong management teams and competi-

tive products. And stick with investment-grade bonds, if fixed income is appropriate. - Diversify. Build a portfolio containing a variety of investments, including stocks, bonds, government securities and certificates of deposit. While diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, it can help you reduce the long-term effects of volatility on your holdings. - Keep a long-term perspective. It’s not easy to over-

look market fluctuations, especially severe ones, but if you can keep your eyes on what you hope to achieve in the future, you might be less likely to over-react to shortterm events. While you may need to periodically adjust your investment mix in response to changes in the economy and in your own life, you’ll be better off, in the long run, by establishing a strategy that’s appropriate for your individual risk tolerance and goals — and stick-

ing to it. As individuals, we’re all subject to the ebbs and flows of the economy. But by focusing on those things you can control – such as buying quality investments, diversifying and thinking long-term – you can become an investor for all seasons.

She wore a white satin charmeuse v-neck halter with ruched surplice bodice and beaded embroidered drop waist, and her grandmother’s diamond necklace. She carried white star lilies and white orchids adorned with a diamond

brooch. Following a reception on the Wolfeboro Inn’s Winnipesaukee Belle for a dinner cruise around the scenic lake, the couple stayed in Wolfeboro to enjoy all the attractions that the area has to offer. One of their stops was at the Castle in the Clouds. The couple lives in Miamisburg, Ohio. Tessa and Jason Maxwell would like to thank their families and friends for their support and for sharing in their special day.

Barbara Zulauf has seen many changes in Wolfeboro in her lifetime BY ELISSA PAQUETTE Staff Writer

WOLFEBORO — Wolfeboro Falls was known as Slab City (home of the excelsior mill), Mink Brook was a reference to South Wolfeboro and Pleasant Valley was called Raccoonville in Barbara Zulauf ’s time. She was born in Wolfeboro in 1921, the beginning of a decade of Prohibition. She attended Carpenter School and Brewster Academy, the public high school at the time, and later ran Edwards-on-Wentworth for 33 years with her husband Ed, who was a selectman for 28 years. Those were the days when “a handshake was a handshake. When you made a promise to do something, you did it!” she declares. But it was also a time of prejudice against newcomers, such as the French Canadians who settled in the Back Bay area, and a time of clear class distinctions. She says that the merchants and their families viewed themselves as “hotshots” and residents of the neighborhoods away from downtown were looked down on. There were small schools scattered throughout the area, serving children within their walking distance, who attended high school together years later, in smaller numbers, for not everyone went on to high school at Brewster Academy. Zulauf remembers getting in trouble as a first grader when an Italian organ grinder and his monkey were entertaining whomever passed by along the street.It was the usual hour-long lunch break, which allowed children time to walk home for lunch and back, with the exception of the children from North and

South Wolfeboro and Wolfeboro Falls, who ate the lunches they brought from home in the boiler room. She was so “mesmerized” that she didn’t hear the bell ring to go back to class. She rushed back when she realized that she was the only one left, and she had some explaining to do to the principal and her family. The movies upstairs in the Town Hall were a main source of entertainment. Zulauf recalls that it cost a dime to attend.One time,she went down the street to the Five and Ten Cent store (location of Straw Cellar) to purchase nail polish for the special occasion, but when her good friend couldn’t afford a ticket to the movies, she returned her dime purchase so that she and her friend could go together. The balcony, off limits to her, was the place for “pitch and woo.” Down below sat the regulars every Saturday night. Her parents also warned her away from the Ann Inn’s Tea Room in what is now Cate Park, run by a Mr. Cronin, an Irishman. “That was one strike against him already in Wolfeboro those days,” she says. Another strike was that he was Catholic. The French Canadians, who worked at the excelsior mill and hired themselves out to cook and clean, attended the Catholic church, then located where the gazebo is behind the Wolfeboro Inn. It’s existence created a “furor” according to Zulauf. Apparently the prejudices were mutual, for the priest would not let any Catholic students singing in Brewster high school’s Christmas concert enter the First Congregational Church located alongside the campus. “Not even

the boy who had a solo!” remarks Zulauf. The Tea Room, which she thought sounded so inviting, was actually a place to acquire illegal liquor. Zulauf comments that the waterfront wasn’t too attractive in those days: it was more of a place for business than a place to appreciate the beauty of the lake. That came later. There was a place to repair “kickers” (boat motors) along the shore, and the train came in to deliver express where Dockside Restaurant is now located. She remembers that sheds lined the shore. The train came in three times a day, she recalls, stopping at the station where the Wolfeboro Nursery School holds classes. That space housed the express office, and the Wolfeboro Area Chamber of Commerce office’s current location was the ticket office and waiting room. Students attending Brewster from Sanbornville were brought to town by train, and the school schedule accommodated the train schedule. For instance, the train didn’t run on Monday, so there was no school on Mondays, but it did run on Saturday, so school was open for a half day on Saturdays. Once in a while, says Zulauf, for a treat, she and her mother would take the smaller gas powered train, known as “The Dinky” for its limit of 20 to 25 seats, to Rochester to shop for clothing and eat in a restaurant, a real luxury. Entertainment was available, too, at The Casino, a dance hall with a view of the harbor, located down Lake Street where condominiums are now in place. There was a wrap around porch, built around a tree, and a bowling alley underneath. Zulauf says

she’s wishes the town had bought it when it came up for sale years ago. The existence of the Town and Cate Parks, which have formed a place of weekly summer concerts in the bandstand performed by the Wolfeboro Community Band, the Artists in the Park Craft Fair, and numerous visitors to the park and docks, is one such successful purchase by the town. Zulauf says the voters twice turned down a proposal to purchase the property occupied by the Ann Inn and an Esso gas station and repair shop, but Dolly Bovaird and Sidney Smith provided architectural drawings to show the concept and eventually the

voters were won over. Smith also donated $20,000 toward the purchase, and it was dedicated in 1967. As an adult, Zulauf assisted her husband, Edward, in running Edwards-on-Wentworth for 33 years. She says there were eight rooms available to visitors in the house as well as housekeeping cottages on the beach. Families would come and stay for a week or so, and in later years, their grown children would also bring their families to share in the experience. The land has now been developed, as is the way of things. Zulauf notes that the pace of life has changed and people don’t seem as trusting as they used to be, but she

Hummer Hi my name is Hummer. I’m a very handsome 3 year old Spaniel mix. I am very high energy and haven’t had any training. I’m a very happy dog that gets along with everyone, but I don’t like cats. My new owners should consider taking me to obedience class and I really need to lose some weight. If you have an active family I’m your guy. I’m neutered, current on my shots, and micro chipped. Stop in and see me soon!

THE GRANITE STATE NEWS, Thursday, October 8, 2009

Whether of wildlife or woodpiles, those photos are always welcome Because of this column and an entirely different and separate outdoor column that I’ve been writing for 35 years for the New Hampshire Sunday News, I’m always finding pictures in the mail from readers. With the emergence of e-mail making the sending of images so cheap and easy, what used to be a trickle has become a flood. Not that this is a complaint. For the most part, the

photos I receive are a treat, and run the gamut from mice to moose to suspected cougars. I’ve received images from automatic cameras set up at a stock-watering tank in Texas (its owner is a New Hampshire transplant) showing buzzards, wild pigs and illegal aliens getting a drink, and trailside trip-camera shots of bobcats, deer and moose. And then of course there

are the fakes – the hoaxes, the phony set-up shots that take in so many gullible Internet users and speed their way all over the nation by surfers all too ready to go ga-ga over the latest “isn’t that cute” image. Sorting the phony baloney out from the real thing can be a fun and interesting pursuit. There is the bull moose in work-horse harness (one of the better fakes), and the salmon leaping straight into

the gaping jaws of a bear (ditto), and innumerable albino moose (they do occur, but in nowhere near the numbers people forward to me). And then there are the five black bear cubs with their mother. That one’s for real – it was taken right here in New Hampshire, and I know the photographer. Recently in this space I ran a great photograph of a mother fox lugging lunch home for her little ones in the form of a very large snowshoe hare, one almost too big for her to haul. I wrote that I’d forgotten who sent me the picture because I’d failed to jot a note down on the back. In short order I heard from Carolyn Eidell, who lives in Clarksville and who took the picture as part of a series she did on a family of foxes she and her husband Bob observed at First Connecticut Lake for quite a period of time. “They gave us many years of pleasure with their antics,” she wrote me last week. “I’m enclosing a photo of the youngster waiting for his lunch that day. The second photo is of a sibling of his mother resting in front of the rock which was on the banking of the lake until a bunch of duffers (I’m being polite here) rolled the rock into the lake.” A third photo shows the mother with one or maybe two squirrels in her jaws before she caught a third and headed for home. If the photographs sent in by readers aren’t about

NORTH COUNTRY NOTEBOOK wildlife, they’re likely to be about wood. People often kid me about being obsessed with firewood, but my counter-attack is that if so, thousands of readers out there are too. Well, hey, there are far worse things to be obsessed with. A while back a reader suggested running a photo contest to see who has created the best, most ingenious pile of firewood, and quite a number of readers have sent their entries in. There are stacks made to look like houses, and stacks created by people who have evidently fallen down dead of exhaustion after their efforts. After you’ve worked on firewood for most of your life, you realize that in doing so there is plenty of time to think. Most people are moving their artfully created woodpiles inside about now, to protect their wood from further onslaught by the elements and to make it easier to get at during winter. Ergo, most of those former clever front-lawn creations are now stacked in woods, garages and basements, having been transformed from art-work

By JOHN HARRIGAN to bulk heat. So I’m going to give the contest another couple of weeks and then arbitrarily (I get to be totally tyrannical despot here) pick a winner. As for the prize, at first it was going to be, oh, maybe lunch at the Mount Washington Hotel at Bretton Woods. But readers have been suggesting an alternative, which might be a hike into my camp, where of course I’ll provide the firewood, and the lunch.
