By Cynthia WatkinsMelendy, Ph.D.

For several decades MountWashington Valley art lovershave wished that a collectionof White Mountain artists’works could be housed in onelocal place. There, we couldall learn about and admire thework which has establishedthe Valley’s significance incementing the American iden-tity. These works would illus-trate views of our favoritescenes as they looked over onehundred years ago. This fall,for the first time, the JacksonHistorical Society’s works ofWhite Mountain Art will beon view, at long last, at thenew Museum of WhiteMountain Art at the JacksonHistorical Society.

Here in the Valley, artistssuch as Champney, Kensett,Shapleigh and others paintedour magnificent views. Theyprovided Americans and thelarger world with images thatconnected the American iden-tity to its pristine landscape.These scenes were soughtafter as urban folks wished topreserve their rural past intheir own parlors. They are onview at the brand new Jacksonmuseum.1

While not officially openuntil this October, previewsare available throughout thesummer.

It was during the mid-1900sthat the New England villageof Jackson attracted artists.Local farmers welcomed thesevisitors and rented themrooms, cooked them heartymeals and provided fresh dairyproducts and produce. Presentday artists such as those par-ticipating in this summer’sworkshop, and Fridaypainters’ collaborations allthrough the season, still findinspiration in the naturalworld here. Their entire bodyof work, whether more than100 years or barely 100 daysold, recreate a sense of won-der, yet tranquility, we all feelwhen we view our belovedmountains and the surround-ing farmland.

Many farmers, and laterentrepreneurs, built inns and

large hotels to accommodatethe city dwellers who wishedto experience and illustratethe scenery first hand. TheInns’ salons and librariesserved as galleries from whichguests selected paintings totake home as souvenirs of theglimpse of rural life which wastheir heritage. Jackson washost to this process. Its famousnatural landmarks and artists’retreats are paid homage to onthe gallery walls at the WhiteMountain Museum of Art.

Since the mid-20th century,Jackson has undergone atransformation. Today, the vil-lage is in the process of pre-serving its architectural andcultural heritage.

The most exciting venture ishappening at the JacksonHistorical Society. Sinceobtaining a long-term lease toJackson’s historic Town Hall, acontributing building in theJackson Falls Historic FallsHistoric District, theHistorical Society has beenworking to restore the build-ing. The downstairs was com-pleted first and the Museum’shistoric exhibits are now ondisplay there.

The White Mountain

Museum of Art is in theprocess of being installed inthe renovated second floor. Itswalls and ceiling are varnishedbead boards that provide asuitable context for the his-toric paintings within itsspace. The new museum wallshave ingenious panelsdesigned specifically for hang-ing art: they are carpet cov-ered, creating a convenientsurface that easily accommo-dates changing exhibitionswithout the hassle of unsightlynail hole filling. It also createsa sound-absorbing wall, mak-ing the gallery experience inti-mate and inviting.

The collection, a represen-tative selection of WhiteMountain Art, is comprised ofworks that features scenes ofthe Jackson area, or those byartists who are known to havelived, painted, and becomeimportant artists in the areaover time. Chief among themare Benjamin Shapleigh,whose house in Jackson is nowrendered in the WhiteMountain style by contempo-rary artist Erik Koeppel. Hehas recently paintedShapleigh’s house, MapleKnoll, which was built 1900

and is on the NationalRegister. Koeppel’s contem-porary painting creates thekaleidoscopic effect of layer-ing time: the 19th centuryview of the home of a famousWhite Mountain artist, creat-ed by a contemporary one,hanging in a frame such thatthe first artist would havehimself constructed. This ele-gant painting pulls togetherthe historic, the contemporaryand the iconic images ofWhite Mountain Art. It is thecenterpiece of the exhibition.

Shapleigh is known for hisbarn paintings, often viewsfrom within their interiors.The museum has several ofthese intimate scenes that sug-gest how rural barns andkitchen interiors are represen-tative of early United Statesidentity. Other paintings inthe collection includeShapleigh’s ‘Bridge at JacksonFalls’; ‘Old Water Trough’;and the ‘Road View towardJackson’. Many others roundout the selection, providing abroad representation of WhiteMountain Art.

Beside the collection, anexciting feature is the 6 by 6foot relief map of the White

Mountains in the center of thegallery space. Its WhiteMountain Range relief detailsillustrate the sense of placeand sense of wonder createdby the artists’ work. A visitorcan view the paintings, and theview by looking from theproper angle at the map. Canyou find your favorite view orhike? Many artists chose toillustrate their favorite hikes intheir paintings. This map pro-vides a bird’s eye view of thoseillustrated so beautifully onthe walls. Early artists likelywould have loved such a reliefmap that is now available toartists and athletes alike.

The new Museum of WhiteMountain Art is an excitingaddition to the art world in theValley. Not only does it housea wonderful collection, butalso this summer it will hostnearly two dozen artists whowill learn techniques of theWhite Mountain School enplein air under the auspices ofthe Hudson River Art fellow-ship. Be sure to stop at themuseum in as soon as you can,and mark down on your calen-dars the grand opening, whichwill take place in combinationwith its 10th annual ArtExhibition, “On the Road toJackson” on October 12-16.It’s a chance of lifetime, but itis also the Valley’s first step inproviding the community andart lovers alike a representa-tive selection of fine Americanart.

Manchester Veterans AffairsMedical Center Tailors Plan toExpand Mental Health Staff

Facility to Hire Seven as Part of Nationwide Boost

Secretary of VeteransAffairs Eric K. Shinsekirecently announced thedepartment would add approx-imately 1,600 mental healthclinicians as well as nearly 300support staff to its existingworkforce. VA estimates thatsix clinicians and one-supportpersonnel will be hired to sup-port mental health operationsat the Manchester VA MedicalCenter. Funding has nowbeen distributed toManchester VA MedicalCenter and recruitment isunderway.

VA has an existing work-force of 20,696 mental healthstaff that includes nurses, psy-chiatrists, psychologists, andsocial workers. Currently, 41mental health clinicians andsupport staff work locally sup-porting New HampshireVeterans.

With each additional mentalhealth care provider, a facilitycould potentially reach hun-dreds more Veterans battlingmental illness. New providerswill join a team that is alreadyactively treating Veteransthrough individualized care,readjustment counseling, andimmediate crisis services.Additional staff members alsoafford opportunities to looklong-term and expand intocutting edge Post-TraumaticStress Disorder (PTSD)research and to explore alter-native therapies.

Secretary Shinseki noted,“As the tide of war recedes, wehave the opportunity, and theresponsibility, to anticipate theneeds of returning Veterans.”

VA anticipates the majorityof mental health clinicians andsupport staff will be hiredlocally within approximatelysix months and the most hard-to-fill positions filled by theend of the second quarter ofFY 2013. To speed the hiringprocess, VA developed theMental Health HiringInitiative to improve market-ing, recruitment, and hiringefforts for mental health pro-fessionals so that the new1,600 mental health providerscan be hired as quickly as pos-sible. The initiative is anaggressive, multi-faceted, sus-tained national marketing andoutreach campaign thatincludes targeted recruitmentof mental health providerswilling to take positions inrural and highly rural markets,as well as throughout the

nation to serve all VA medicalcenters and community clinics.

“Mental health servicesmust be closely aligned withVeterans’ needs and fully inte-grated with health care facilityoperations,” said VA UnderSecretary for Health Dr.Robert Petzel. “Improvingaccess to mental health servic-es will help support the cur-rent and future Veterans whodepend on VA for these vitalservices.”

Last year, VA provided qual-ity, specialty mental healthservices to 1.3 millionVeterans. Since 2009, VA hasincreased the mental healthcare budget by 39 percent.Since 2007, VA has seen a 35percent increase in the numberof Veterans receiving mentalhealth services, and a 41 per-cent increase in mental healthstaff.

Interested mental healthcare providers can find addi-tional information about VAcareers online atwww.va.careers.va.gov. Openpositions will be announcedonline at USA Jobs(www.usajobs.gov).

To locate the nearest VAfacility or Vet Center forenrollment and to get sched-uled for care, Veterans can visitVA’s website at www.va.gov.Immediate help is available atwww.VeteransCrisisLine.netor by calling the Crisis Line at1-800-273-8255 (push 1) ortexting 838255.

Teaching Your ChildHow to Ride

on Two Wheels

By Sally McMurdoOne of the rights of passage

for kids is finally balancingand controlling that twowheeled bike-all by them-selves. No parent holding onto the seat, no training wheels-just child and bike in perfectharmony. “Oh, to be youngand go very, very fast! (JoeKurmaskie, Metal Cowboy)

How do they get there?What skills do they master,what tricks do they learn? Andwho teaches them and how dothey do it?

There are four crucial phys-ical skills needed to ride abike: balance, steering, pedal-ing, and coordination of thefirst three. Braking comeslater when the bike is under-way. Along with these, youalso need the mental skills ofinterest, determination, andconfidence. But the childcan’t master all these at once –they have to learn them one ata time and then put them alltogether in one gloriousmoment of awareness –“Look, I’m riding my bike!”

I interviewed friends to findout how they taught their kidsto ride and recalled what wedid with our kids. CarlIacozili, from Red Jersey, says

Rule#1 is: “Make it Fun!”Learning to ride a bike can behard, frustrating work. A childis going to give up quickly ifthere’s no fun factor.

Rule # 2: “Let them learnin their own time” –don’trush it. He started his son on abalance bike when he was 1 ?.It had no pedals or brakes, butthe seat was low enough thathe could easily touch theground. He fixed the steeringso Merrik couldn’t turn thebike until he mastered balanc-

ing it Rule #3: Work on one

skill at a time. Once balanc-ing was achieved, steeringcame next. By age 3, he wasready to try a two-wheeler, butdidn’t know how to pedal.Carl put on training wheelsadjusted off the ground tohelp him learn how to pedal.Once he got that motion mas-tered, he took them off. ThenMerrik was ready to coordi-nate all the moves balancing,steering, pedaling, but he did-n’t know how to brake yet.That came last, probably aftera few crashes.

Rule # 4: Make it as safeas possible. Arm your kidswith helmets, maybe evenknee and arm pads, becausefalling down is all a part oflearning how to ride. Carry

band-aids. Pick a place topractice that’s away from traf-fic and distractions, relativelyflat, and that feels safe andcomfortable for the child.Some parents start their kidson grass with a small slope, sothey can fall and not get hurtas easily. Steve Piotrow tookhis kids to a local campgroundand let them fall on grassyslopes until they learned bal-ance. Other parents find pave-ment is easier. We taught ourkids on roads in a partiallybuilt development. Emptyparking lots also work well.The Kinsmans took their kidsto the Auburn Mall on Sundaywhen it was closed and then tobike paths, followed by icecream. Rob Cole had theunique experience of ridingwith his oldest son on theNorth South Road before itwas open to traffic. Later, heused the FryeburgFairgrounds as the perfect, funplace to work on bike skills.Be creative – look for placeswhere there’s no traffic and it’seasy to ride. Check out placessuch as the Fryeburg’sMountain Division Trail,Forest Service roads, GreatGlen Trails, Whitaker Woods,dead end streets, and vacantparking lots.

Now, the real nitty gritty –what method do you use toteach your child how to ride?On Sheldon Brown’s website,he mentioned 3 basic ways:training wheels, assisted two-wheeling, and un-assisted twowheeling. Assisted 2 wheelinginvolves running alongside thechild, holding on to theirshoulders. The unassistedmethod uses an undersizedbike without pedals and low-ered seat or a balance bike. Weused the backbreaking method

of running and holding theseat until we felt we could letgo. It worked, eventually. TheKinsmans used a pedal lessbike indoors and down agrassy slope, but that was toobumpy. They then used thetraining wheel method untiltheir kids were ready to takethem off. Rob started his kidswith training wheels whenthey were around 4 or 5, butthey were reluctant to givethem up. Finally, when theywere in 1st or 2nd grade, theywent without them andbecame two-wheeled bike rid-ers. Carl used a combinationof balance bike and then train-ing wheels. Some kids teachthemselves how to ride by trialand error, using a stump topush off and get rolling.Whatever method you or yourchild uses, be patient and sup-portive. Nobody learns to ridea bike in one day.

The most important rule ofall is: Praise and reinforceyour child’s efforts. It’s noteasy learning how to ride abike, and it can be scary aswell. But the rewards aretremendous, from the look onyour child’s face when theyfinally “get it “and are rollingto a lifetime of fun, exercise,and adventure. “The simple,clean rush of freedom!”(Metal Cowboy)

Fryeburg Academy Students Contribute tothe MWV Habitat for Humanity 2012 BuildAs many Mountain Ear readers know, MWV Habitat for

Humanity is building a single family home at 483Menotomy Road (2.3 miles north of Route 302 east ofFryeburg). For the last few years, a shed has been construct-ed to provide the homeowner with a place to store a lawn-mower, garden equipment, tools, and other items. This yearMark Strange, a teacher at Fryeburg Academy, offered stu-dents an experience beyond the usual course offering – thechance to gain “hands on” experience in constructing a shedfor the Habitat home. Eleven students, including six fromFryeburg, four from China (the country not China, ME)and one from New Jersey accepted the challenge. Over thelast several weeks, the students worked under Mr. Strange’sguidance and assistance from Dee Barker and Tom Ackley tobuild a 12-foot by 8-foot shed complete with a window anddouble doors.

On June 7, the day before the final day in the school year,the shed was delivered to the Habitat work-site. The accom-panying pictures depict the delivery and positioning process.All who participated in the construction of this shed can beproud of their contribution to a deserving family’s needs forbetter housing

By Rachael BrownLocal motorcycle group

loves to ride, loves their bikesand especially loves to helplocal kids succeed. ValleyRiders, a newly formedmotorcycle club is spendingthis week hosting the fifthannual Rally in the Valleywhose main goal is to raisescholarship funds for deserv-ing Kennett High School sen-iors or graduates to attend anaccredited two-year tradeschool.

Valley Riders hopes thisyear will be their biggest. “Weare really proud, we are givingaway four, two thousand dollarscholarships this year at grad-uation night,” says EdTolland, one of the mainorganizers. This was the mostprofit in the past five years, hesays. “This year we hope toreach ten thousand dollars,”says Tolland with a big grin.

Both Tolland and scholar-ship chair Jim Tuttle sat downwith the Mountain Ear to talkabout the rally, the group andtheir goals.

First, a bit about the group:Valley Riders was formed inOctober 2011.

“We are not for profit 501c3listed under the state of NewHampshire Charitable Funds.Our main goal is to raisescholarships funds,” saysTuttle. Valley Riders began byformer Mount WashingtonValley H.O.G. (HarleyOwners Group) members.The H.O.G.s used to host therally but Laconia HarleyDavidson, the local chapter,thought they should pull backthis year and spend more timeriding, explained Tolland.“They still support the rallythough. This year they even

gave more money,” he says. Laconia Bike Week, which

runs around the same time,June 9th to June 17th, therally is June 9th to June 16thalso helps promote Rally inthe Valley. “There is a blurbon their web site, it helps togive us more exposure,” saysTolland.

There is more local expo-sure this year for the rally.“We reach a little further awaythis year, White Lake Tavern(formerly Samantha’s) in

Tamworth and YankeeSmokehouse, who has partici-pated before,” says Tolland.

Here’s the deal. Guests pur-chase a five-dollar wristband.The wristband gets discountswith 48 businesses- retail,food and lodging- and partici-pation in the weekly rallyevents which include guidedmotorcycle rides, contests,fashion shows, belly dancers,eight nights of entertainmentand the kick-off night pigroast at hosting restaurant

Hillbilly’s Southern BBQ onthe strip in North Conway.

“Last year we had thirty-two sponsors, this year wehave forty eight,” says Tollandwho begins planning for thenext years’ rally the day afterthe last one. “We look to seewhat worked last year andwhat didn’t. This year we haveVinny at Village Taxi shuttlingfrom nine hotels, one halfhour before the music beginsand one half hour after themusic ends,” he says.

Everything is inside, in case itrains. What if it does rain?“You just deal with it,” saysTolland and Tuttle at the sametime.

All this planning with onesingle goal in mind: “TheValley Rider’s mission is tocontinue Rally in the Valleyand support the scholarshipprogram at Kennett High,”says Tuttle who works closelywith Kennett’s guidancedepartment to promoteawareness of the availablefunds. The scholarship is forstudents who want to continuetheir education at a tradeschool. Tuttle explains thereare requirements. After thestudent’s first semester, gradesmust be satisfactory. “If we doas well as last year, we canraise the bar, we encouragethem to come back to contin-ue,” he says. Scholarshipsawarded date back to an olderchapter. Tuttle says over theyears they have given outalmost 50,000 dollars.

Then there are the successstories. “One of our kids,Christian Blake apprenticedwith local welder and clubmember Dick Glines. He isone of our success stories.They are rebuilding a ‘56 T–bird,” says Tuttle. Blake nowworks in the business withGlines.

That is the aspiration. “Weare changing kids lives in thistown,” says Tolland.

Ski leader HerbertSchneider dies June 10

at age 92

CONWAY, N.H. — Famedformer Cranmore Mountainowner/general managerHerbert Schneider, 92, ofNorth Conway, N.H., died ofnatural causes at MaineMedical Center in Portland,Maine, June 10. His death wasannounced by his and the lateDoris Schneider’s sons,Hannes and ChristophSchneider. Born May 20,1920,Schneider was the son ofLudwina (Seeberger)Schneider and legendaryAustrian ski instructor HannesSchneider (1890-1955) of St.Anton am Arlberg, Austria.

Following the GermanAnschluss of Austria in March1938, Hannes Schneider wasarrested at his home for hisanti-Nazi views and was heldunder house arrest inGermany.

North Conway native,Cranmore developer andinfluential New York City fin-ancier Harvey Dow Gibson(1882-1950) obtained Hannes

Schneider’s release in February1939.

Hannes, his wife and chil-dren Herbert and Herta trav-eled from Europe aboard theQueen Mary to New YorkCity, and then arrived via trainin North Conway Feb. 11,1939, where they were wel-comed in the park in front ofthe station by townspeoplewho formed a ski arch withtheir poles under which theSchneiders passed.

Gibson then placed HannesSchneider in control of the skischools he had purchased fromCarroll Reed in Jackson and atCranmore.

“Father of Modern Skiing,”Hannes Schneider was origi-nator of the world-renownedcrouched Arlberg ski tech-nique, which combined speedand control.

With the Schneiders atCranmore, the area becameone of the leading early skiresorts in the country.

Herbert Schneider becamean Americanized citizen in1943 and served with the 10thMountain Division SkiTroops. He was awarded theBronze Star Medal for actionhe took while on patrol in theAppennines in Italy in April1945. Returning home in1946, Herbert Schneidertaught skiing after the war forthe Hannes Schneider SkiSchool and took over theschool following his father’sdeath in 1955. HerbertSchneider was one of thefounders of the ProfessionalSki Instructors Association in1961 and served on the boarduntil 1972. Together withpartners, he purchased the skiarea from Mrs. Helen Gibsonin 1963.As president of the skischool and as general manager,

he oversaw the expansion ofthe Eastern Slope Ski Club’sJunior Program at Cranmore.He once told an interviewer hestrongly supported that pro-gram because it gave an oppor-tunity for every local school-child to learn how to ski.Among those legions of youngskiers were such futureOlympians as Tyler and TerryPalmer and David Currier, allof the 1972 U.S. Ski Team;Abbi Fisher of the 1976 and1980 Olympic squads, andcurrent U.S. Ski Team mem-ber and 2010 OlympianLeanne Smith. In 1966, hemarried former flight atten-dant Doris Beaudet ofHartford, Conn. In 1967, heauthored the ski instructionbook, “Let’s Go Skiing.” In1970, through the support oflocal businesses, Cranmoreinstalled snowmaking to lessenthe impacts of poor snowyears.

During his years as generalmanager, Cranmore hostedmany ski events, as well as theVolvo International TennisTournament from 1975 to1984 and the World MudBowl in 1979. He and partnerssold Cranmore in 1984. Heremained a consultant to theteam of successive owners overthe years. He was esteemed asthe area’s ski ambassador.

Gentle-natured and of goodhumor in all of his dealings, heannually presided over theNew England Ski Museum’sHannes Schneider MeisterCup as well as annual 10thMountain Division gatherings.

He received several awardsover the years. In addition tobeing named to the U.S. SkiHall of Fame in 1992, hereceived the New England SkiMuseum’s Spirit of Skiing

Award in 2009, and was madean honorary lifetime memberof PSIA and of the Ski ClubArlberg of St. Anton, Austria,in 2010.

He is survived by sonHannes Schneider, 45, ofDenmark, Maine, and his sonsHannes, 15, and Markus, 13;and son Christoph Schneider,43, of North Conway and St.Anton am Arlberg, Austria,and cousin Edi Mall of St.Anton. He was predeceased byhis sister, Herta (Schneider)Fahrner in 2001 and her hus-band Franz Fahrner in 1990.

During histenure as Cranmore ownerand operator he was instru-mental in the development ofnew ski terrain and lifts at themountain. Herbert hostedthe Volvo International TennisTournament in the 70s and80s at Cranmore and thisevent put the Valley on themap.

On top of these achieve-ments, Herbert cared for chil-

dren and his support of theEastern Slope Ski Club andthe Junior Ski Program helpedkeep this program strong sothat every child in the Valley,regardless of their ability topay, would be given theopportunity to learn to ski.Add to this his influence increating a weekly adult raceseries back in the early 70s,now called MountainMeisters, to further show howmuch he has impacted ourdaily lives.

I have served as GeneralManager of Cranmore foreight years now and I wasalways amazed and apprecia-tive of the support Hebertprovided me and my family.

This support and kindness wasexpressed to children as hehanded out awards at theannual Schneider Cup race.His positive presence was alsofelt at the annual HannesSchneider Meister Cup, tosupport the New England SkiMuseum, which he attendedregularly.

On behalf of all Cranmoreemployees we thank youHerbert for all that you havedone and we will miss you.

Thank you and rest inpeace.BEN WILCOXPRESIDENT AND GENERALMANAGERCRANMORE MOUNTAINRESort

He lived with his par-ents and siblings at 455Willard St., Berlin, N.H. andattended Berlin schools untilhe turned seventeen in hissenior year of high school.With his parent’s permission,he joined the U.S. Navy andwent to fight in the Pacificduring World War Two.When the war was over, Edreturned home, and at twenty-

one years old went back toBerlin High to get his diplo-ma. Berlin held a special classfor all the young men who leftschool to fight for their coun-try, and Ed took advantage ofthis program. A couple ofyears later, Ed and a frienddecided to leave for Californiato make their fortunes, butsomewhere near Cleveland,Ohio they ran out of money.They took a job with EuclidManufacturing building largeearth-moving equipment inorder to replenish their funds.When they had saved somemoney, Ed’s friend left forCalifornia again, but he wenton alone .Ed had met a younglady named Mary, the love ofhis life, and going out Westwas no longer an option.

While living in Ohio, Edworked for Euclid Manuf.,LTV Corp, DiamondShamrock, and RepublicSteel. After putting in aneight-hour shift at the steelmill, he came home and didanother eight hours on histrash truck. He worked veryhard while raising his familyand was loved and respectedby his friends and neighbors.Just before Ed turned fifty,tragedy struck when hisbeloved wife Mary died fromcancer.

He was loved andadmired for his kindness,sense of humor, and his will-ingness to help out wheneverhe was needed. He was an avidhunter, fisherman, gun collec-tor, and an accomplished sto-ryteller. If you had the time,Ed had the story! He was ajack-of-all-trades, and able tofix or build just about any-thing. He was a little weak inthe propane field however, as

his singed hair and eyebrowshave proven! He was especial-ly well known for his ability tobuild and sharpen knives, andhe sharpened them for every-one from Patch’s Market tomechanics all along his deliv-ery route. Ed was physically abig, very powerful man, and avery capable boxer, but heused his strength most oftento help those in need.

On the Rockpile


We have had a diverse weekof weather at the summit, withtemperatures increasing near-ly 30 degrees through thecourse of the week. Thebeginning of the week wascooler than average, as a broadtrough of cold and unsettledweather took residence in thenortheast United States. Asseveral small weather distur-bances called shortwavespassed through the trough,the summit experienced pre-cipitation every day except lastSunday. Temperatures werecold enough to allow 2.2” ofsnow to fall in the beginningof the week, and we enjoyedmaking a June snowman onthe observation deck. As tem-peratures warmed through theweek, the snow eventuallyreturned to rain and drizzle,and we lost our snow coverand snowman by Thursday.Friday brought several roundsof thunderstorms to the sum-mit, bringing heavy rain, gustywinds, and small hail.Conditions finally cleared

Saturday, and winds decreasedthrough the day. Sunday thecenter of high pressureapproached the summit, andwinds become nearly calm.Temperatures surged to thecomfortable upper 50s, but,any rose can have a thorn.

The thorn in comfortable,calm conditions Sunday camein the form of a swarm of bugsand insects to the summit. Inwhat longtime observersdescribe as a near-recorddrove, bugs blanketed theskies and ground, creating aneerie crunching noise whilewalking out to the observationdeck. While it was certainly anentomologists delight, thediverse species of bugs andinsects were so oppressivesome hikers described beingafraid to breathe for fear theywould inhale a hapless insect.While we do our best to pre-serve all life on the summit,the insect overdrive is onething many here would gladlydo without.

Karla Schwarz and Bill Weileroffer Pet Saver Course – June 16th.

A record warm spring andearly ice-out on NewHampshire lakes means thatloons are nesting earlier thisyear, as much as a week ortwo earlier than usual onsome lakes. The peak timefor loons to start nesting isusually in early June, fol-lowed by a four week incuba-tion period. This year, manychicks will be hatched by lateJune and more young loonchicks will be on the lakesduring the Fourth of Julyweek, warranting extra cau-tion on the part of vacation-ers and summer visitors.

Loons can very sensitive tothe close approach of people,especially when on a nest orwith chicks. The LoonPreservation Committee rec-ommends staying at least 150feet away, or more if the loonshows any signs of distresssuch as craning its neck low

over the nest. Loons mayeven appear to be sleeping,injured or dead while in thishead-down position, but theposture is actually a responseto the close approach of peo-ple. If you do inadvertentlycause a loon to flush from thenest, leave the area immedi-ately to let the loon return toincubate its eggs. Time offthe nest leaves the eggs vul-nerable to cooling, overheat-ing, or predation.

Studies indicate that a min-imum breeding success rateof 0.48 surviving chicks perloon pair is needed to main-tain the loon population overthe long term; NewHampshire’s loons achievedthat level of breeding successfor the first time in 6 yearsduring the 2011 season. LPCbiologists are hoping foranother productive breedingseason this year for the state-

threatened loon population,and are working to encouragethat result through increasedmanagement and outreach toprotect loons throughout thestate.

The Loon PreservationCommittee monitors loonsthroughout the state as partof its mission to restore andmaintain a healthy popula-tion of loons in NewHampshire; to monitor thehealth and productivity ofloon populations as sentinelsof environmental quality; andto promote a greater under-standing of loons and the nat-ural world.

To learn more about loonsin New Hampshire, pleasevisit the Loon PreservationCommittee on the web atwww.loon.org or call theLoon PreservationCommittee at (603) 476-LOON (5666).

Like Water and Wildlife? Support The Nongame Program!

Moose Lottery Drawing Takes Place Friday, June 15, 2012

June is the month to appreci-ate “nongame” wildlife –species that aren’t fished for orhunted. You know, the crea-tures you might have admiredon a recent visit to a river, lakeor pond – a great blue heronspearing a bullfrog, paintedturtles sunning on a log, orosprey winging by. Workingwith state and private partners,the New Hampshire Fish andGame Department’s Nongameand Endangered WildlifeProgram protects these andmore than 400 other species inNew Hampshire.

The deadline is coming upsoon for sending contributionsto the Nongame Program’s2012 Annual Fund Drive. TheState of New Hampshire offersa $50,000 challenge grant tohelp fund the work of theNongame and EndangeredWildlife Program – but toqualify, Fish and Game mustraise an equal amount in privatecontributions by the end ofJune.

The Nongame Programrelies on the public to supportits work protecting nongameand endangered species in NewHampshire. “Hunters andanglers support much of theFish and Game Department’swork, but license funds are notused for nongame and endan-gered wildlife projects,” saysNongame and EndangeredWildlife Program CoordinatorJohn Kanter.

Show your support for pro-tecting nongame wildlife bymaking a tax-deductible contri-bution before June 30. Send to:Nongame and EndangeredWildlife Program, N.H. Fishand Game Department, 11Hazen Drive, Concord, N.H.;or download a mail-in donationform at

http://www.wildnh.com/nongame.

Donations support fieldresearch and monitoring ofnongame wildlife identified aspriority species in the state’sWildlife Action Plan, whichprovides New Hampshire deci-sion-makers with importanttools for restoring and main-taining critical habitats, such aswetlands. This is important forpeople, too. People and wildlifeshare fresh water in NewHampshire. Sixty rivers, lakesand reservoirs support wildlifeand serve as public water sup-plies for New Hampshire resi-dents. Wetlands and marshesare critical wildlife habitats thatalso recharge our private wells.Thousands of swamps, bogsand vernal pools are vital partsof New Hampshire’s complexfreshwater system.

By contributing to theNongame Program, you canhelp teams of biologists andvolunteers protect nongamewildlife and the critical waterhabitats that are vital to sustain-ing wildlife populations. Just assafe drinking water is essentialto people, freshwater habitat iscritical to wildlife populations –common species as well asthose threatened or endan-gered. Cleaner waters are con-tributing to the recent recover-ies of bald eagles and osprey,not to mention better fishing.What’s more, conserving habi-tat for nongame wildlife alsohelps game species, like moose,deer, turkey and bear, thrive.

When reviewing the impactof taxes on your investments,it is important to understandthat many items currently inthe federal tax code are sched-uled to expire after December31, 2012. Although futureactions to amend tax rules areanyone’s guess, keepingabreast of developments inthis area may be to youradvantage. Consider the fol-lowing when making decisionsabout your investments during2012.

When taking capital gains,make them long term.Legislation passed byCongress in 2010 continuesthe 15% tax rate on long-terminvestment gains, those gener-ated on investments held formore than one year, throughDecember 31, 2012. In con-trast, short-term capital gainson investments held for oneyear or less are taxed as ordi-nary income, where marginaltax rates currently can be ashigh as 35%, depending onhow much you earn.

Tax rates on qualified divi-dends are subject to change.Current tax rules maintain thefavorable 15% tax rate onqualified dividends through

December 31, 2012. Althoughdividends are not guaranteed,an allocation to dividend-pay-ing investments may providean ongoing source of incomethat can cushion the ups anddowns of capital gains andlosses. The opportunities areplentiful: As of February 2012,395 of the 500 companieswithin the S&P 500 paid adividend.1

Accelerate activities thatgenerate higher taxes. The topfour federal income tax rateswill be maintained at 25%,28%, 33%, and 35% throughDecember 31, 2012. If you areconsidering an activity that islikely to result in a bump inyour income or a federal taxpayment, you may want tocomplete it while the lowerrates remain in effect.Examples could include con-verting a traditional IRA to aRoth IRA and selling realestate or a business that hasappreciated significantly invalue.2

Escalate gifting strategies.Through December 31, 2012,estates valued at more than$5.12 million are subject to afederal estate tax rate of 35%.In addition, the tax code “uni-fied” the estate tax and the gifttax, permitting an individualto gift $5.12 million betweennow and December 31, 2012,without triggering the federalgift tax. Rules relating toestate planning are complex,so be sure to seek counselfrom a qualified attorneybefore taking action.

Capitalize on tax-advan-taged accounts. By contribut-ing regularly to an IRA, andkeeping the money investeduntil qualified withdrawals aremade, you can benefit fromtax-free compounding. With atraditional IRA, qualified

withdrawals after age 70? aretaxed as income. In certaininstances, if investors adhereto income thresholds estab-lished by the Internal RevenueService, contributions may betax deductible. With a RothIRA, contributions are nevertax deductible but qualifiedwithdrawals after age 59? aretax free. Maximum contribu-tions for either the 2011 taxyear (must be made by April15, 2012) or the 2012 tax year(must be made by April 15,2013) are $5,000 per taxpayer,plus an additional $1,000catch-up contribution forthose aged 50 and older.

There may be additionalitems unique to your situation,but these tax moves can helpyou make the most of yourhard-earned dollars during2012.

Source/Disclaimer:

taxes may apply. Unless certaincriteria are met, Roth IRA own-ers must be 59? or older and haveheld the IRA for five years beforetax-free withdrawals are permit-ted.

Manager, Donna MarieDolan (DD)

DD: What attracted youto the Tin MountainConservation SummerAvian Ecology Internshipthis summer?

JS: I am enrolled in thePlymouth State University’sEnvironmental Science andPolicy Master Degree pro-gram for the fall of this year.The data I collect as an AvianEcology intern for TinMountain also will be used inmy thesis project. My thesiswill analyze bird communityresponses to forest manage-ment practices.

DD: How long have youbeen interested in ornithol-ogy?

JS: My interest in ornitholo-gy began during my senioryear of college. My firstresearch position was collect-ing data for the University ofConnecticut and theSaltmarsh Habitat and AvianResearch Project (SHARP). Ibanded and monitored thenests of tidal marsh sparrowsin an effort to determine pop-ulation demographics andhow they are affected by pro-jected rising sea level.

DD: What are the objec-tives of the Tin MountainAvian Ecology Project?

JS: The avian ecology proj-ect was started in 2006 and hastwo primary objectives: toestablish a breeding birdinventory of Tin Mountain’sproperty and to assess birdcommunity responses to silvi-culture treatments on timber-lands.

DD: Would you describe atypical day in the field, andthe purpose of data you col-lect?

JS: A typical day as theAvian Ecology intern beginswith bird point-count surveyscovering the RockwellSanctuary here on Bald HillRoad, as well as the Bear PawTimberlands in Conway. Ateach designated spot, I recordall bird species seen or heardduring a five-minute periodbefore proceeding to the nextpoint. Avian highlights dur-ing spring migration included

the Nashville warbler, magno-lia warbler, blackburnian war-bler, black-throated greenwarbler, and the black-throat-ed blue warbler. Regulars inthe area include chickadees,woodpeckers, and goldfinches.Periodically, mist nets are setup in the forest to catch andband black-throated blue war-blers and other bird species.

The point counts, birdbanding, and nest monitoringhelp us tell a story about aviancommunity populations. Incommercial timberlands,understanding how aviancommunities are affected bythe removal of tree canopycover and habitat disturbancehelps determine how long ittakes for displaced birds to re-populate the disturbed area.The Forest Ecology internwill inventory the tree andunder story composition ofthe Rockwell Sanctuary andthe Bear Paw Timberlands.This data will be used in con-junction with the avian ecolo-gy data to determine birdspecies habitat preferences.

DD: Have you spottedany birds that were bandedlast year?

JS: A male with a band onhis left leg was spotted at thebeginning of the season, andwe were fortunate to capturehim in the net. Based on thealuminum band, I looked backinto past data and found hewas banded last year as anadult, in 2011.

DD: What birds have youbanded so far, and why?

JS: Right now, we havebanded eight black-throatedblue warbler males, and bytracking where they travel onthe property, we plan to maptheir breeding territories.Knowing how they move andwhere they are helps us under-stand preferred habitat andspatial requirements. Inaddition to the aluminumnumbered band, we also putcolor bands on their legs to re-sight and identify them in thefield later and say, “Ah, he’s inthe same spot as last year” or,“oh, he’s moved to anotherspot since the start of the sea-son.” This is especiallyimportant when we try to do

this at the timberlands – wewant to know how BTBWterritories are affected by log-ging, aka disturbance to thehabitat.

We hope to band other inte-rior forest birds such asBlackburnian warblers, andfor comparison, birds thatprefer more open, shrubbyareas such as chestnut-sidedwarblers - if not this year,maybe next.

Black-Throated BlueWarbler Factoids:

The four-letter alpha codethat banders and birders usefor the black-throated bluewarbler is BTBW. BTBWsare migratory. Most individu-als winter in the Caribbean,especially in the GreaterAntilles islands of Cuba,Jamaica, Puerto Rico, andHispaniola. BTBWs don’tchange their appearance as theseasons change. Female do notreturn to old nests – they willbuild completely new nests.BTBWs nest in mountain lau-rel, hobble bush, and smallpine saplings, but there maybe other options in theirabsence.

Black-throated blue war-blers: weigh in at 8-10 grams.Based on bird bandingrecords, BTBWs may live to

be nine or ten years old in thewild.

Note: This spring, of thethree BTBWs nests sightedwith eggs on the RockwellSanctuary, only one survivedpredator attack. On June 8,the fledglings from this nesthave been banded by Jamie,assisted by TMCC ForestEcology intern, CaraApplestein.

By Rachael BrownNot only did Joy Emerson

know at early age she wantedto be in business: she was.Emerson, affectionately knowas Adamma, grew up in east-ern Nigeria where it was cus-tomary to train children asyoung as five or six to worktowards their futures.Adamma sold nuts.

“I was always drawn to busi-ness. My father used to buynuts and told me to sell them.In Nigeria, at that time peoplewere building big houseswhen the cement bags wereempty I would clean them andsell them to the market peo-ple,” says Adamma, whosefather still lives in Nigeria andis in his 100’s.

Adamma’s interest in busi-ness continued, she says shewent to commercial school inNigeria to follow her dreams.“I didn’t want to give up,” shesays. Her path turned thoughwhen she fell in love with aman from Long Lake, NewYork, married in 1982, movedto New Hampshire, raised sixchildren including twins.

“We stayed one month inGlen then bought a house inNorth Conway, I still live inthe same house,” saysAdamma. Business continuedto call. “I stared a cleaningbusiness, was seeing money,but it became too hectic withraising children. It was time tochange course,” she adds.

In 1990 she traveled toNigeria. “I went to the marketplaces everything kept callingme. People would come to myhouse to see what I broughtback,” says Adamma.

Then on June 26th, 1994she opened her first store on

Reporter Court. She movedthe stores several times, took abreak from business after kneesurgery last year but is back ather new spot in the formerLennox location on RT 16 inNorth Conway.

Adamma talks about heroriginal pieces, artwork, col-lectables and Panama hats, hernewest addition.

“I go to Africa every five orsix months,” says Adamma,while pointing to the variouscountries on an older map ofAfrica. Using the formernames of some countries, sheputs her finger on Guinea,Senegal, Zanzibar, Tanzania,Nigeria on both the east andwest coasts. In these countriesshe picks up original works bynatives carvers.

The wood has special prop-erties. “This is ebony wood.After 100 years the trees falldown. You can put this in therefrigerator and the wooddoesn’t change,” she sayspointing to a sculpture. Thewood doesn’t change nor doesit do bad things, she adds.“The wood is spiritual, peace-ful, brings peace to you house,it is like taking a piece of theAfrican jungle home withyou,” says Adamma.

Adamma then shows a verytall intricate wooden sculpture

called the “Family Tree” andtells the story. In those daysvendors would come to thevillages to capture Africans forslavery. The family tree showspeople running from slavery.“They would dig a hole, fromme to you, [about 6 feet] andwhen they came home to thefarm and saw the vendors theywould run into the hole, anescape route,” she says.

Adamma then stands next toa majestic women carved outof mahogany. “This is handcarved by a 23 or 25 year oldin Guinea,” she says proudly.

Being in business for almost20 years, Adamma loves whatshe does. “If I didn’t love it[business], I wouldn’t do it. Ilike people, I love people,” shesays. Adamma invites the pub-lic to her open house onSaturday June 16th at 1529White Mountain Highway.She says you may even have achance to win one of herPanama hats from Ecuador.

What about her name? “Mygrandmother gave me thename Adamma. It means gooddaughter,” she says.

On May 30th and 31st stu-dents from Ossipee andMoultonborough releasedover three hundred EasternBrook Trout into the SwiftRiver. Three very dedicated6th grade girls, Issie, Hannah,and Leanna from OssipeeCentral School took time afterschool to release the fish fromtheir classroom tank. Parentsand the girls’ teacher CarolynHemingway transported thetiny young fish from school tothe Swift River in Tamworth

where the fish will now callhome. The following day,thirty-five MoultonboroughCentral School 5th grade stu-dents from Maud Anderson’sclass released fish from theirclassroom into the Swift Riverwith the help of parents andTamworth residents. Studentsenjoyed spending the day out-doors and felt good knowingthat the eastern brook trout(EBT) they had been raisingsince early February weregoing to a good home. The

Swift River met the habitatrequirements for the EBT,which include cool tempera-tures, shade and cover, well-oxygenated water and a con-sistent source of food.Students were confident intheir decision to release thefish at this location because ofthe water quality testing theyperformed last fall with GreenMountain ConservationGroup (GMCG) through theVolunteer BiologicalMonitoring Program (VBAP).

The trout were raised inthese classrooms through aprogram facilitated by TroutUnlimited and NH Fish andGame called Trout in theClassroom. Through this pro-gram each school that partici-pates is given 200 EBT eggs toraise in their classroom. Thisyear with the help of GMCGMoultonborough and OssipeeCentral Schools received eggsin early February from the

Powder Mill Hatchery in NewDurham. Students took timedaily to check for and removedead eggs, as well as test thewater to make sure it is ahealthy environment for theeggs to be raised in. A blogwas created so the studentsfrom Ossipee andMoultonborough could com-municate with one another,give updates on their brookies,and share advice on how totrouble shoot problems. Bothstudents and teachers reallyenjoyed participating in theprogram and plan to beinvolved next year. “We werevery happy we had so manyhealthy, happy trout to releaseinto the healthy waters of theSwift River, where they willhave the chance to grow evenmore” said Ossipee Centralsixth grade teacher CarolynHemingway. Thank you, to allthe students at Ossipee andMoultonborough Central

Schools who took care of theeggs and fry, and whose con-stant attention to water quali-ty allowed the fish to flourish!

By Clay Groves and DaveKellam

We love to fish and we havefamilies, so that means duringour quest to catch and eatevery kind of freshwater fishin New Hampshire sometimeswe have to fish with kids.

This article can be used a asyour guide to fishing withsmall kids.

Get Over Your Ego

The first and the hardestthing for a die hard angler to

do is leave your ego at home.Don’t plan on catching anyfish yourself. We know this ishard but if you want to have agood time, check your pole atthe door. The goal here is toinstill a love of fishing on yourkids, so make this about them.Get them fun fishing poles,and neat looking gear. Involvethem with choosing hooks,bobbers and bait. Even better,have them dig worms in theyard before you go.

Choose the RightSpot

Pick a spot where lots of fishlive. We usually choose reallysmall ponds or rivers andmake sure we pick a spotwhere we can see the fish.Another thing to look for isother things to do at the spot.Is there a playground near? Ifyou are canoeing is there areally cool sandbar or beach toplay at? We fish a lot with 5year olds who have the atten-tion span gnats so there has tobe other things to do. We arefans of fishing with kids inweird spots, like neighbor-hood construction ponds,you’ll be surprised how manyfish live in tiny waters.

Pack Snacks

If you are a dad taking yourkids fishing, pack snacks thatmom won’t approve of! Ifyou’re a mom pack what dadwould pack. Hungry kids canruin your trip, so have snackhandy at all times. When yourkid gets grumpy, shove some

junk food in his mouth andyou’ve increased your fishingtime by half and hour!

Take Lots of Pictures

The little fish you catchmight not seem like a big deal,but a few snapshots hangingon the wall will encourageyour kids to ask to go with youagain. So take a lot of picturesand make a big deal aboutyour kids, show them howproud you are.

Make a Big Dealabout Small Fish

Give up on catching asalmon or large bass, go for alarge volume of small fish.That means small hooks, andbait. It also means your kidwill be catching a lot of fish.Kid love this! Pumpkinseedsunfish, yellow perch, goldenshiners and fallfish are beauti-ful and always make kidssmile. Once in awhile you’llsee a large fish hit tiny bait, sothat will stoke the fishing firefor you.

Teach themStewardship

For the most part fishingwith kids for us is a catch andrelease experience. Show your

kids how to be gentle with thefish, how to properly release itand thank the fish for lettingyou catch it. Don’t leave wormcontainers or garbage on theshore and if you see garbagepick it up. Be a good exampleand your kids will follow.

Quit While You’re Ahead

You have to stop fishingwhen the fishing is good andthe kids are in good moods.This is the hardest part, butending the trip on a positivenote will make your trip mem-orable and your kids willremember all the fun they’vehad. So learn to recognizewhen your trip is over and getwhile the gettin’s good.

Now for the really goodnews! Now that you’ve takenthe kids out for a while, you’veearned fishing credits. Sowhile you’re reveling in theglory of a successful kids fish-ing trip, take advantage of thegood mood and have yourwife take the kids for a whileso you can do some seriousfishing and get the big one!Happy fishing and if you wantto follow our quest visitwww.catch-m-all.com or sharesome pictures of your kidsfishing on our facebook page.

America’s Walking comes to the Lakes RegionAmerica is in the midst of a

national health crisis. In arecent long-range study, theCenters for Disease Controland Prevention are predicting

nearly half of all Americanswill be obese in 20 years,which will contribute to $500billion in health care costs.These disheartening and dis-

turbing trends are reversible.Simply telling people to exer-cise and eat well has notstemmed the rising tide ofchronic disease and over-weight. But designing com-munities so that physicalactivity and healthy eating arethe norm is showing greatpromise. We are becomingincreasingly aware that theintersection of communitydevelopment and healthresults in healthy communi-ties.

At its Annual Meeting onMonday, June 25, at ChurchLanding in Meredith, theLakes Region PlanningCommission will featureMark Fenton, an enthusiastic,and passionate advocate fornon-motorized transporta-tion, a frequent consultant onbicycle and pedestrian com-munity plans, and recognizedauthority on public healthissues and the need for com-munity, environmental, andpublic-policy initiatives toencourage more walking,bicycling, and transit use. Agraduate of MIT, a five-timemember of the United Statesnational race walking team,adjunct professor, and formereditor-at-large/columnist forWalking Magazine, Mark alsohosted various PBS televisionprogram on walking, includ-ing a 13-part series called“America’s Walking.” A pro-lific writer, he has authoredseveral books, including thebest-selling Complete Guide

to Walking for Health,Weight Loss, and Fitness.

While access to health careis important, the social andeconomic determinants ofhealth – where people work,live, learn, and play – oftenplay the strongest role. Themore opportunities individu-als have to make healthychoices, the more likely theycan live longer and healthierlives. Given long-term demo-graphic and economic trendsfor the Lakes Region, the newNew Hampshire advantagemay very well be communi-ties and businesses thatembrace the infrastructureand policies to promote pro-ductive and healthy lives forall. In general, healthier peo-ple are more economicallyproductive, and the health ofour country and local econo-my depend on it.

LRPC’s Annual Meetingwill begin at 5:30 p.m., andincludes dinner, officer elec-tions, awards, and MarkFenton’s presentation. Foradditional information andreservations, please contactthe LRPC at 279-8171 [email protected].

DDoowwnnssttrreeaamm

By Darron Laughland

The Mount WashingtonValley has received severalinches of rain over the past twoweeks, and although most resi-dents have had just aboutenough of the precipitation, asmall cadre of paddlers has beenliving it up. The small heatwave in the early spring meltedaway what little snow there was,then a long drought left therivers very low, and in someareas of the northeast, lowenough to jeopardize scheduledwhitewater dam releases. Thelast two weeks have finallybrought the long soaking rainsnecessary to fill the reservoirsand recharge the groundwater,while providing several days ofbank full rivers to paddle in.Last week the Swift River roseto over five feet on the paintedpaddlers gauge, the same daythe Saco flooded its banks. Thewaters even resulted in a fewroad closures and evacuationsof riverside campgrounds.

When the rivers get high,entering into the flood stage,their waters act more unpre-dictably, and conditionsbecome increasingly hazardousfor kayakers. To avoid the highwaters, paddlers look for small-

er tributaries higher in themountains, typically stretchesonly run when there issnowmelt and rain, or after sev-eral inches of rain. A few yearsago, two of our group exploredand ran Downes Brook in earlyspring, and we knew that it hadenough gradient and interest-ing whitewater sections to war-rant the grueling hike toexplore further.

A crew of five local paddlersleft the UNH and DownesBrook trailhead midmorning tocarry boats and equipment sev-eral miles upstream, venturingas far as time and our backswould allow. The DownesBrook hiking trail crosses theriver several times. Evendressed in dry suits, using pad-dles to brace off the bottom ofthe river, the crossings requiredgreat care to avoid slipping inthe fast current. The firstcrossing involved roping an ini-tial boat across with the rest ofthe team following by paddlingacross with someone ready tograb their boat on the otherside to prevent them from slid-ing downstream. It was difficultto stand in moving water deep-er than the knees, so route find-ing and strategic use of eddiesbehind boulders to break the

forceful flow helped. Hikerswould have had a difficult timecrossing safely, as we even con-sidered climbing into our boatsto ferry across a few times, evenfurther upstream where theriverbed became smaller.

Downes is typical of mostWhite Mountain creek runs,full of large cobblestones andboulders. Rock congested sec-tions or increased gradient inthe riverbed form steeper tech-nical rapids, occasionally with afew trees or logs mixed in.During our descent, we optedto walk around a couple shortparts due to the proximity oflarge trees or branch piles. Therun was consistently busy, and aboater might describe it as“full-on combat creeking” withboats bouncing over bouldersand slamming the bow into anunavoidable rock here andthere. Elbow pads were a val-ued part of our gear ensembleafter the abuse they took. Afterthe hike in, it was a welcomechange, as all five paddlersbombed our way down theriver.

Running smaller steep creeksrequires constant vigilanceahead of the boat, especially forthe leader. Wood or drops

where the boat could land on arock, or become pinned are aconcern. A responsibility of thepaddler in front is also to lookback and make sure that whoev-er is behind them is ok andmoving along with the group.A few times, one of the boatsended up pinned sideways orstuck in the boulders. Someonewould pull into and eddy orpool, where they would climbout of their boat and rock hopor scurry upstream to give someassistance, usually by reachingout to an end of the boat andpulling it over or off a pinningrock, and sending it down-stream.

There are a half dozennotable stretches where the dif-ficulty increases, but most ofDownes is class II-III creeking,the narrow channel offering upfew options to the main flow.The exception is a handful ofspots where Hurricane Irene orother significant precipitationevents created multiple chan-nels, usually clogged with trees.The advantage to having a hik-ing trail alongside most of thebrook is we were able to scoutalmost all of it ahead of puttingon. It is also nice in case some-one or the whole crew wants tobail on a particular mission.

Considering the amount ofchanges that occurred fromIrene, especially in the largerrivers, many of the small tribu-taries are relatively free of woodand avoided the large scale masswasting or debris piles thatappear in sizable bodies ofwater. Downes Brook was agreat choice for a high waterday, offering paddlers some-thing different, at a safer, moremanageable level.

The balance of the week sawruns on the Sawyer, Ellis, Swift,and Saco. Now as we enter thelast two weeks of school, theriver is still high, but is drop-ping quickly and will be downto a typically summer level bythe time this article is pub-lished.

As canoeists and kayakersventure out on the Saco andlocal lakes for a paddle in thewarm weather, please remem-ber to ALWAYS wear a lifejacket, and keep it safe.

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

By Peter MinnichIf you’ve never seen the

Great Wall of Sandwich, ashort trip southwest to LittlePond Road in Sandwich iswell worth the effort. In caseyou missed it, the Great Wallwas in the news last month,owing to the restoration of amythic statue that once stoodatop the corner post on thewest end of the wall. I’ve rid-den by the Great Wall a num-ber of times, always marvelingat the stonework, but I knewnothing of the fallen statue orthe history behind the wall.

The Great Wall was con-structed in 1874-75 by a crewof 80 men contracted by IssacAdams, who had returned toSandwich after a successfuland lucrative career in Boston.His return to Sandwich had an“I’ll-show-the-rubes” flair toit, as he had been consideredworthless by the town citizensat the time of his departureyears before. Upon his return,he bought up much of the landon the hill and had the massivestonewall constructed aroundit.

Adams apparently pur-chased the statue of Niobe,together with two others ofApollo and Artemis, at theLondon Industrial Expositionin 1862 Europe, and shippedthem to Sandwich. The statueof Niobe was cast in zinc andpainted white by Prussiansculpture Moritz Geiss around1860, who had modeled itafter a similar statue of marblein Florence, Italy. Niobe wasmounted on the Great Wallusing a wooden base, whichlater proved her undoing.

The Niobe statue stood onthe Great Wall corner postuntil 1941, when the base,apparently weakened overtime by water rotting thewood, allowed the statue totopple in a storm, shattering itinto 200 pieces. The pieceswere gathered and stored in ahorse barn on the Adams’estate property where theywere ultimately buried under amanure pile and forgotten.

When the Adams estate was

acquired by the Boone Porterfamily in 2004, the fragmentswere discovered in the horsebarn. Sandwich metal artisanAdam Nudd-Homeyerworked for a year, consultingwith a Smithsonian Institutionconservation specialist torestore the fragments to theoriginal form. The restoredstatue was unveiled at a localceremony on May 12th. (Goto www.sandwichhistorical-niobe.weebly.com for adetailed account of Adams andthe statue.)

The Great Wall and therestored Niobe statue make afine cycling destination byitself or as an addition to thejustly popular WonalancetLoop ride. Sally and I drovesouth to Tamworth a fewweeks ago between rainstorms, parked in TamworthVillage next the Town Housein the small public parking lot,

then rode 2 miles south onRoute 113 to Route 25. Weturned right and rode westthrough South Tamworth.Route 25 has moderate trafficbut good shoulders for the sixmile stretch to Little PondRoad. Once you make theturn onto Little Pond Rd,traffic diminishes to nothingand you can enjoy back roadpeace.

Immediately past the pond,about 1.5 miles from Rte. 25,the road bears right, andthere’s the wall. You can’t missit. This is not your run-of-the-mill New Englandstonewall. It’s impressivelybig – built wide enough forAdams to drive his carriage onthe top – or so goes the leg-end. The stones are all facedand show the marks of handdrilling. The wall extends upthe hill to the corner postwhere the statue now stands.

Peter MinnichThe newly restored zinc statue of Niobe now stands on its original 20 foothigh, cut stone post on the west end of the Great Wall in Sandwich.

Peter MinnichTwo cyclists pass below 4020 foot Mt. Whiteface while riding theWhiteface Intervale section of the Wonalancet Loop. It's rare to ride theloop with seeing other cyclists along the way.

Return to the Great Wall of SandwichRRoouunndd UUppss

Climb the granite steps up tothe statue and look east alongthe wall toward the OssipeeMountain Range in the dis-tance. Take in the view asIsaac Adams might have seenit.

At the top of “Image Hill,”turn right on Route 109 andclimb past the Adams’ Estateon the right, then descend amile and a half west to CenterSandwich. Turn right againon Route 113 and climb over afew of the rolling hills thatcharacterize the west leg ofthe loop. Three miles fromCenter Sandwich, pass theNorth Sandwich store at thetop of a hill, and continuestraight north on Route 113Atoward Wonalancet. This isthe classic section of the loop,with rolling hills, sweepingcurves, and scenic views of theSandwich Range Mountains.

After crossing the ColdRiver at Whiteface, passWayside Gardens on the left,and watch for the stone watertrough and spring pipe on theright. Fill your water bottlehere and enjoy the cold, sweettaste as you pedal on throughthe Whiteface Intervale to thelast long hill as you cross theSandwich-Tamworth TownLine. A short distance past

the town line, the road dropsinto the wide-openWonalancet vista, with itsstark white church steepleagainst the green wall of themountains, dominated by4020 foot WhitefaceMountain on the left. This isas scenic a view as you’ll findanywhere in New Hampshire.

Ride past the church andhead east on the final 6.5 mileleg of the loop. Climb thegentle hill out of Wonalancet,passing the site of the historicChinook Kennels on the right,and then begin the longdescent to the Swift River. It’salmost all downhill back toTamworth Village, much ofthe way through dark, coolpine forest along the edge ofthe river. On a hot day, this isthe best part of the loop. Werode the entire 30 mile loop inless than 3 hours, includingtime to stop and savor theGreat Wall and the Niobestatue. Get out there and rideit.

(An addendum to my last arti-cle about the Red Tail Trail: Ineglected to credit Chris Krug,Molly Savard, and Mike Elliotfor their finishing touches on thestonework on the armoredswitchback, done in 2008.)
