“It's important for these newleaders to understand our cultureand landscape,” Woodburn ex-plained in an e-mail exchange.“We have a unique relationshipwith government and how it is de-livered across a rural and moun-tainous terrain."

“The stops are built aroundspecific projects and legislativeinitiatives, all aimed to give a fullperspective of the North Coun-try,” Woodburn pointed out. “Keyissues will include the proposed$1.1 billion Northern Pass Trans-mission project, distribution ofthe nine-percent state Rooms andMeals tax, establishing an equi-table formula for helping to fundrural, critical-access hospitals(with 25 or less beds), and im-proving the economy and ex-panding job opportunities."

Alain Jean ChardonWESTPORT POINT, MASS—

Alain Jean Chardon, 80, of West-port Point, died at home on Nov.11, 2012, after more than a decadeliving with cancer and Alzheimer'sdisease. He slipped away peaceful-ly early in the morning of a typi-cally beautiful Westport day, caredfor by those he loved.

Born in Brookline, Mass., Alainwas the son of Yves Henri and Hen-riette de Constant Chardon. Hisparents were both French concertcellists, and they, along with hisbrother Roland and sister Chris-tine, lived in Boston, then Min-neapolis, where Yves played in andlater conducted the symphony or-chestra.

He and his wife Phoebe movedto New Hampshire in 1955, wherehe became a forester, chopper,teamster for his beloved drafthorse team of Dick and Dolly, andlog truck driver for New EnglandForest Industries. In 1958, he beganto manage the New England dis-tributorship for the Tucker Sno-cat, helping to bring the new con-cept of snow farming to the emerg-ing New England ski industry. Dur-ing this period before the intro-duction of widespread snow-mak-ing, he invented the "Sno-Mo"which was a Sno-Cat accessorythat pulverized boilerplate snowand turned it into powder; threeSno-Mo machines were purchasedfor use at the 1960 Olympics at

Squaw Valley.In 1962, Alain joined Timber-

land Machines, Inc., in Lancasterselling logging, trail grooming andmunicipal heavy equipment.

Under his leader-ship, Timberland added a con-sumer division that played an im-portant role in turning snowmobil-ing into the widespread sport thatit became.

Alain's passion for the outdoorsand living and sharing life to itsfullest also drove his civic activi-

ties. His first climb up Mount Wash-ington led him to become a trusteeof the Mount Washington Obser-vatory. His distributorship of theBombardier Ski-Doo brought himto become a founder of the N.H.Snowmobile Museum Association.He served on N.H. Governor Peter-son's Citizens Task Force, wasTown Moderator in Jefferson, andwas a trustee of the renowned NewBedford Whaling Museum, presi-dent of the Westport Dance Group,director of the Westport Land Con-servation Trust, and a founder ofthe West Branch Association of theWestport River, whose goal is topreserve the land along the shoresof the river that borders Wyndfield,the farm his family bought in 1948.

Alan is survived by his belovedwife and partner in life, Phoebe andtheir three children, Marc, Stephenand Jennifer, two sisters, ChristineSchneider and Roxane Chardon,and six grandchildren: Meghan,Troy, Robert, Marie, Linda andChristoper.

The immediate arrangementswere private and attended byAlain's immediate family.

In lieu of flowers, he asked thatdonations be made to either theZeiterion Theater in New Bedfordor the Westport ConservationTrust.

This is your ONLY CHANCE to voice your opinion on the possibility of the schoolboard going against the districts vote. If you can’t come to the forum please contactSAU-36 central office at 837-9363 for telephone numbers and e-mails to that youcan let them know your thoughts.

This will impact property values and will most likely impact growth in our townsand education for our children, as we know it now.

Editorial Opinion

Buy local

READERS’ FORUM

Northern Pass/WMNF crossing considerations are completely different

Every year during the Christmas shoppingseason, shoppers hear the mantra repeat-ed over and over to them to support localmerchants and buy local.

It is a fine sounding phrase but what exactly doesit mean? What it means, in short, is supporting yourfriends and neighbors, supporting local jobs, byspending your money on local businesses.

Shopping at Wal-Mart does not count; it is not a lo-cal retailer. Even though it has a store in Littleton andGorham, the majority of the money spent there quick-ly leaves there to go out of state. Now that doesn’tmean don’t shop there. Frankly in this area there islittle choice for many items. It is only natural peoplewill shop there. The same goes for shopping online.Let’s be honest—we all do it. Who hasn’t gone toAmazon for that hard to find book, CD, or game?When price is a consideration, those options are at-tractive.

However, there are other considerations, includ-ing service, being able to actually see an item beforeyou buy it, and knowing your money is staying inyour community and in turn helping you. Dollarsspent here will be reinvested here and money spentat another business today may be spent at yours to-morrow.

A recent study in Maine, which focused on Port-land, found that every $100 spent at a local businessgenerated an additional $58 in local impact, com-pared to $33 in local economic impact for the sameamount spent at national chain stores.

Many local businesses have worked hard to setthemselves apart from the big cookie cutter boxstores, with specialty items of various kinds, not tomention offering a far more pleasant shopping expe-rience. Is there any comparison to parking in a largelot and dodging cars to go into a large chain whenyou could be walking up and down Lancaster’s MainStreet and popping in and out of shops?

So yes, feel free to buy at those online merchantsfor some items, but don’t forget a wiser way to spendyour money this Christmas season. Think of it as aninvestment.

Edith Tucker’s article about the National Park Service’s approvalof the Susquehanna-Roseland transmission line across national parksin Pennsylvania and New Jersey asserts the NPS’s approval “raisedconcerns in New Hampshire because the issues are in many ways par-allel to those that will be involved when the USFS considers a pend-ing application” for Northern Pass to cross the White Mountain Na-tional Forest. Unfortunately, Ms. Tucker appears to have missed thekey points in the NPS’s decision. Reading the actual decision showsSusquehanna-Rosemont is in no way a precedent for Northern Pass.

There are two crucial distinctions. First, the Susquehanna-Rose-land transmission line is a “needed” line. It is deemed by the regula-tors to be a critical investment to “keep the lights on” for electricitycustomers in the mid-Atlantic region. Northern Pass is not a “needed”line but is merely an optional, for-profit line. It isn’t even part of theregulators’ regional reliability planning process.

The Susquehanna-Roseland line is a top priority for federal energyregulators. As the federal government announced, this new line isneeded to “alleviate overloaded existing power lines in the North-east”, “reduce overloads that can cause blackouts or brownouts” and“ensure reliable service” for more than 1.7 million homes. This line isso important to grid reliability that it is one of only seven transmis-sion projects assigned to President Obama’s Rapid Response Team forTransmission. In contrast, Northern Pass is wholly outside any regu-latory determination of need. No regulator asked for Northern Passand the project has nothing to do with the needs of the New Englandelectric grid or keeping the lights on. Northern Pass was thought upby Northeast Utilities and Hydro-Quebec just to make money.

This distinction matters a lot. A needed line has clear public ben-efits (keeping the lights on), while an optional, unneeded, for-profitline is only about money. Obviously, the government review processwill be more flexible on adverse environmental impacts for a critical-ly “needed” line like Susquehanna-Roseland than an unneeded, for-

profit project like Northern Pass.Second, Susquehanna-Roseland had the NPS over a barrel, while

Northern Pass has no such leverage with the USFS. Susquehanna-Roseland claimed they already owned a valid legal easement acrossthe national parks in question. The regulators were forced to approvethe line because if they didn’t, the project sponsors would just buildit anyway or claim an unconstitutional taking. (From the NPS decision,p.18: “[T]he NPS cannot ignore the fact that the applicant owns a prop-erty interest in the existing powerline corridor. The applicant assertsthat these existing rights are sufficient to allow it to build an alterna-tive design to the line …. The NPS may not prevent the applicant fromexercising these rights without effectuating a taking.”) In contrast,Northern Pass has absolutely no land rights for the majority of theproposed WMNF crossing. Northern Pass accepts and admits that itneeds a discretionary approval from the USFS to cross the WMNF. Un-like Susquehanna-Roseland, Northern Pass will not be able to essen-tially blackmail the USFS into granting an approval even though theapplicable standards aren’t met.

The bottom line is that the NPS’s approval of Susquehanna-Rose-land has little relevance to Northern Pass. As an elective, for-profitproject, Northern Pass is unlikely to meet the high hurdles for a USFSapproval to cross the WMNF.

By missing the key facts and suggesting the issues are largely par-allel when they are not, Ms. Tucker’s article may have caused unnec-essary alarm among those who wish to preserve the WMNF from des-ecration by Northern Pass. We would once again respectfully suggestthat if your reporter does not have the time or resources to cover anissue in sufficient depth so that articles aren’t inaccurate or mislead-ing, it may be the better judgment not to run the articles.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Business as usually in WashingtonLittle change will occur Bureaucracy will still be there. Three in-

telligence agencies not sharing information but spying on each otherrenewing scandal at the highest level. Nearly a million employees onthe payroll there. C JA Drones assassinate tribal leaders and their fam-ilies I three countries we invaded ten years ago. Many are killed in thisconflict its called collateral damage 700plusmilitary bases some withsecret prisoners in 100 countries and war contractors pouring con-crete for more permanent bases there, Water hoarding an d confine-ment without trial is ok. Mr. Asong from Austraila founded Wike Leaksto reveal the atrocities committed in Iraq and Afghanistan. BradleyManning an Iraq vet faces court martial and possible firing squad forhis part in it. Ancient Rome killed messengers of bad news Washing-ton the same.

There was outrage on 9-11 when 3000 Americans were killed. Thatsame day and every day 20000 children died of poverty and hunger.Where is the outrage? A child is blown up an average once a week evenafter all these years. Where is the outrage? Pres. Clinton voted a mora-torium on mines in the United Nations. National security trumps com-mon sense and any effort for peace. U.S. exports more military hard-ware tan all countries combined. Some of it is turned against us. Wash-ington refuses sovereignty for Palestine and supports Israel in its oc-cupation of Gaza and the west banks. There will be no peace in themid east under this policy. There is deep resentment when USA builtf16’s to fly over to bomb.

Iran wishes to develop nuclear electric power. Europe depends al-

most entirely on it. If Iran developed the bomb the pentagon chiefswould level the whole country as we did in Hiroshima in a war thatwas already over. Only our congress voted against Dessert Storm Icouldn’t remember her by name. War contractors lobby congress withcampaign funds to support the bloated pentagon budget 1/3 of ourdeficit every year 800 billion & two subs in Portsmouth for repairscosting millions and in Nashua millions to develop the f-35 aircraft thatkill by remote control. That money would educate every student inN.H. for years and make affordable the tuition for higher educationand charter schools. A must if we want an improvement in the econ-omy.

Armistice day is now Veterans Day. I liked it the way it was, a cel-ebration of peace. War now seems to be a part of our American cul-ture. Our churches and institutions have little to say with the excep-tion of the Quaker church and the Friends society and Veterans forpeace in concord. The heroes are Peace Corps doctors without board-ers hope Salvation Army; UNICEF care feed the children, cancer re-search. The list goes on.

With food and medicine instead of guns we might get back someof the respect we have lost.

We need a dept. of peace in Washington and our lives.George Glidden

WWII Vet for peace,Whitefield

I’ve always been a ground-scanner. If there’s, say, a nailon the ground in my barn-yard, anathema to anyonerunning tractors or other ma-

chinery, I’ll spot it and pick it up.

Newspapers are sort of like thatfor me too. I tend to scan, readwhatever captures my eye and in-terest, and clip it for later use.

About a year ago I was walkingup the back driveway, thinkingabout nothing in particular, whenan oddly colored, oddly shapedstone caught my eye. It was partof a load of gravel Buddy Boudlehad delivered a year or so before,to thicken the mud soup thatseems to win out over terra firmaevery three or four seasons.

The rock was purplish andlooked like chert, or jasper, and Iinstantly felt that it had beenflaked, or struck to knock offchips, or thin flakes, in order toform a sharp edge. I’d seen morethan my share of these ancient,

worked stones from the North-east’s mysterious past. One thatI’ll never forget was a palm-sized,reddish hide-scraping tool un-earthed by Herb Gifford, when hewas part of the famous dig whenthe Aziscohos Dam was being re-paired half a century ago and theancient streambed yielded hun-dreds of Paleo-Indian artifactsfrom just after the last glacier,some 12,000 years ago.

Of course I went straight inand called Buddy up to find outwhere those couple of loads ofgravel had come from, and it wassmack in the middle of an ancientlake that once covered Colebrookand most of the surrounding re-gion. But what was this flakedpoint doing in the middle of a

gravel deposit that surely waspart of the massive outwash asthe last glacier melted? Doc Gif-ford’s long-held theory was thatthe first people reoccupying theland would have camped aroundthe edge of the lake, at about ele-vation 1800, and surely it wouldbe more logical to look for tool-making artifacts there.

The rock has occupied a placeon my kitchen counter ever sincethe day I found it, usually holdingdown the week’s little stack of lot-tery tickets that I blow a fewmeasly bucks on at Ducret’s Storein the vain but stubborn hope ofstriking it rich so I can take acruise through the Panama Canal.

And by chance, as I was skim-ming the Science Times section

the other day, the rock right therein front of me, I came onto a briefarticle about new discoveries insouthern Africa that have pushedthe date at which humans at-tached stone points to woodenshafts far back to 500,000 yearsago---200,000 years earlier thanpreviously speculated.

But how could researchers besure the new-found points wereactually used on wooden shafts,instead of merely held in the handfor butchering, cutting and scrap-ing? Well, chalk up another onefor scientific ingenuity. After mak-ing new stone points similar tothose discovered, scientists putthem on shafts and fired them in-to animal carcasses, and com-pared tip-damage to what they’d

found on the ancient points---proving that the points had beenused as projectiles.

No such scientific wizardrywill ever be performed on mykitchen rock, and in fact as an un-trained, unschooled, shuffle-foot-ed layman I can’t even say fordead-certain that it’s hand-flakedat all. But in this far-flung cornerof the world that has seen somuch of its history lost to theages, a hunch will just have to do.

This sextet of WMRHS seniors was one of 50 teams that recently competed on Super Sunday at Southern New Hampshire University, vying to be one of the top 16 teams selected to represent their school in the 29thseason of NHPTV’s televised academic contest, the Granite State Challenge: Ethan Call, left, Kaelin Chancey, Hannah Gauthier, Savannah Rose, Amrita Sood, and Joseph Dami. They had to write answers to 100 ques-tions in 45 minutes on a wide range of topics that align with state curriculum standards in an effort to rank in the top 16 teams. When this photograph was taken on Nov. 20, the students had not yet learned whetheror not they had made the cut. Other North Country teams competing included Colebrook Academy, Berlin High School, and Lisbon High School. Granite State Challenge went on hiatus in 2011 after NHPTV lost all itsstate funding. Now, thanks to the generosity of lead sponsor Unitil Corporation, a provider of natural gas and electricity to customers in New England, the new season will premiere in February to challenge high schoolstudents and viewers. Additional funding is provided by the NHHEAF Network Organizations, DF Richard, Markem-Imaje, Heinemann and Measured Progress.? The program will air at 6:30 p.m. on Sundays on NHPTVPRIME, and re-air later in the week on NHPTV PRIME and NHPTV EXPLORE.

By Midge RosebrookIn 2014, Lancaster will be cele-

brating its 250th anniversary as atownship. Lancaster, once knownas "Snowmobile City USA," held asnowmobile race as one of themany events, during their wintercarnival on the first weekend ofFebruary in 1964, that kicked off ayear round 200 "Bi-Centennial"celebration.

Although Lancaster held it'sfirst organized snowmobile racesin 1962 and again in '63, there wasno name for them other than "Mo-torized Sled Races." But for thespecial 1964 race it was called,"The International Grand Prix."

This race was so successful,that for the next 13 years the"Grand Prix" was one of the pre-mier races and a must stop for allof the top drivers, who were rid-

ing the finest racing sleds in theworld!

They were vying for thechance to win the coveted“Kilkenny Cup”, named for therugged mountain range on theoutskirts of town. To win this cup,one needed to garner top pointsfor three consecutive years. A featthat proved too great, even for thebest! This cup, one of early snow-mobiling’s most coveted trophies,now resides in the clubhouse ofthe “oldest” snowmobile club inAmerica, “the Lancaster Snow-Drifters.” Its base is adorned withthe list of names of drivers thatreads like the roster of "The Snow-mobile Hall of Fame."

In 2014, a little over a year fromnow, Lancaster will be holding a50th reunion of “The Internation-al Grand Prix.” Once the largest

outdoor winter event held in NewHampshire, with upwards of15,000 spectators at its height, theGrand Prix is coming back! Therewill be vintage racing and snow-cross racing to be held near theLancaster fairgrounds, whereworld-class snowmobile racingonce encompassed their half-miletrack. All are invited!

But make no mistake. This one-time event is for those original"Warriors of Winter" who gracedthe pages of Bill Vint’s master-piece written in 1977 of the samename! It may be the last opportu-nity for these early innovators ofsnowmobiling to get together forreminiscing and fellowship with

their one-time friendly rivals andold teammates. We are hoping foran east meets west reunion, fromMinnesota to Maine.

Lancaster is going to be rollingout the "Red Carpet" for thesefolks, during the week leading upto, and including the first week-end in February of 2014!

Tax rate up by $5.50, street-opening bond creates kerfuffle By Edith [email protected]

CARROLL — The assessed val-uation in the town of Carroll —made up of both Twin Mountainand Bretton Woods — fell byslightly more than $87 million —from $398,810,506 to$311,738,013.

The 2012 tax rate has been setat $19.05, up from $13.55 in 2011.

The 2012 town tax is $4.54, upfrom $2.80; the local educationtax, $6.81, up from $4.77; the stateeducation tax, $2.72, up from$2.08, and the county tax $4.98,up from $3.90.

The total tax commitment in2012 is $5,899.753, up from$5,366,244.

“This is what taxpayers voted

for in March,” explained select-man Mark Catalano.

The selectmen, acknowledg-ing townspeople’s intent, votedunanimously to award a bid toTwin State Ford that submittedthe lower of two bids for a pick-up truck for the Fire Department.Twin State of St. Johnsbury, Vt.,bid $32,739, and MacMulkin ofNashua, $34,155. Funds will betaken from the appropriate capi-tal reserve fund.

Selectman Catalano alsobrought up his concern abouthow the Planning Board had dealtwith a street-opening bond thatat least one or more members hadbelieved were needed by White-field developer Dave Scalley whois working on an approved Pa-

quette Drive subdivision, offRoute 2 South.

Apparently Planning Boardsecretary Linda Dowling sent a“cease and desist” letter by certi-fied mail to Scalley that had notbeen approved by the seven-member board.

Scalley also noted that the let-ter did not reflect the opinion ren-dered by town counsel BernieWaugh that a bond was not re-quired.

Catalano said, however, thattown boards are not required totake counsel’s advice.

He said, “We need to commu-nicate more.” Catalano also saidthat everyone must respect thetown’s ordinances and state laws(RSAs), which must be enforced

and applied evenly. He explained that he had in-

tervened in this matter not onlyso that the project can move for-ward but also so that Carroll isseen as a town that is friendly todevelopers and development anddoes not make it unduly difficultfor legitimate projects to moveforward.

Select board chairman BillDowling serves as the select-men’s representative on the Plan-ning Board and he said he woulddiscuss the matter with othermembers.

Catalano concluded, “I’m go-ing to lift this mantle off my shoul-ders and onto the shoulders ofBill Dowling.”

Famous Early Snowmobile Race to hold 50th Reunion

Jefferson, PAGE A14


RANDOLPH — At the recom-mendation of the Randolph ForestCommission, the Planning Boardis refining the wording for anamendment to the Town ForestOrdinance designed to create theauthority to regulate access to thecrystal mine located on the Ran-dolph Community Forest (RCF).After holding a public hearing inJanuary, the proposed amend-ment would be presented to vot-ers under a warrant article at theMarch 12, 2013, town meeting, ac-cording to the Board’s Nov. 1 min-utes.

The General Electric Companyworked the crystal mine duringWorld War II. Lifelong residentAlan Lowe has reported that GEhauled ox carts full of crystals outof this mine for use in manufac-turing radios as part of the war ef-fort. After the war ended in 1945and radio technology changed,the mine was blown up, likely acouple of times by variouslandowners to prevent peoplefrom entering it and getting lost orhurt.

Hobby gem collectors, howev-er, discovered a man-hole-sizedpoint of entry to part of the mine,and they used it for many years.

When the conservation ease-ment governing land use withinthe RCF was being negotiated, thePresidential Gem and Mineral So-ciety asked that its right to explorethe mine could be protected. As aresult, a specific provision allowsfor non-commercial hobby miner-al collecting. Over the last 10 yearsthe Society members and theirguests have used the mine fromtime to time without any prob-lems. Some Society members ledone of the early Randolph ForestDay tours up to the mine, andmany of those on that trip wereable to go down into the mine and

enjoy the sight of crystals glitter-ing all around them.

Because the mine is located ina secluded spot that is not easy tofind for someone unfamiliar withthe site, the Randolph Forest Com-mission had always assumed thatits remoteness would protect it,and, for the last 10 years, thatseemed to do so.

But last summer that allchanged. Presidential Gem andMineral Society members report-ed serious vandalism at the mine.Someone was ripping off the cov-ering layer of earth and rock andbreaking off large plates of crys-tals, apparently with the aim ofselling them.

Planning Board-Forest Com-mission chairman John Scarinza,a retired Commander of Troop Fof the State Police, caught the al-leged perpetrator, who is nowcharged with breaking a conditionof a state Department of Re-sources and Economic Develop-ment (DRED) conservation ease-

ment.In light of this, the Forest Com-

mission has reconsidered its ap-proach to the crystal mine. In-stead of avoiding publicity and re-lying on its seclusion to protect it,the Commission would now like tohave the regulatory power to lim-it access to the mine site, as per-mitted by the DRED conservationeasement. If the town designatesthe site as a “natural area,” as pro-posed in the draft amendment,then an existing state statutewould make it a class A misde-meanor to vandalize or deface ageological formation or rock sur-face that is so designated. Whilethese steps would not guaranteeprotection for the mine, the town’sability to prosecute violatorswould be enhanced.

If the amendment passes, theForest Commission also intendsto post notices at the mine site, sothat visitors cannot claim theywere unaware of the town’s rules.

A dozen volunteers recovered a large crystal plate this summer at amine located in the Randolph Community Forest (RCF), north ofRoute 2. Recent theft and vandalism have led town boards to preparea draft amendment to the Town Forest Ordinance, designed to regu-late public access to the resource, that townspeople will vote on at theMarch 2013 Town Meeting. Randolph Planning Board-ForestCommission chairman John Scarinza, left, and town moderator DavidWillcox, right, participated in unearthing the plate that will be dis-played in a town building.

Highland House Apartments undergoing a $1.3 million renovation


WHITEFIELD — Nearly a yearago the Caleb Group, headquar-tered in Swampscott, Mass., pur-chased the two story HighlandHouse at 30 Highland Street thatit had managed many years forthe previous owner, the Colum-bus-Ohio-based National Afford-able Housing Trust (NAHT), ex-plained Marianne McDermott,the nonprofit’s director of devel-opment and public relations, in aMonday morning conference callthat included Chuck Connelly, itsNashua-based property manager.

Since then the Caleb Grouphas replaced the roof, installednew windows, and replaced theshingles with more attractivevinyl siding. A direct hot watersystem has also been put in placeto improve the complex’s heatingsystem, Connelly said. Someunits have also had new appli-ances put in their kitchens, andsome new flooring and carpetinghas also been installed, depend-ing on need, he said.

All common areas are beingrepainted, including the commu-nity area that features a kitchenthat is available for communityfunctions, especially useful atholiday times. “This commonarea helps build a sense of neigh-borhood at Highland House; resi-dents put on card parties andsometimes residents reserve thisspace for larger extended familyparties,” McDermott explained.

The nonprofit Caleb Groupprovides affordable housing; itsmission statement is “to buildcommunity one spirit at a time inMaine, New Hampshire, Massa-chusetts, and Connecticut.”

Typically between 40 and 44residents live at Highland House,which is income-restricted.“Most residents are elderly, butsome units are designed specifi-cally for those who are disabled,”Connelly said.

Caleb also employs a Highland

House service coordinator —Herbi-Jo Gooden — who not onlycan provide a helping hand butalso directs residents to appro-priate public resources and pro-grams.

Highland House recently im-posed a smoking ban inside thebuilding and restricted on-sitesmoking to two designated areaswith picnic tables.

“We’ve assisted those whowant to give up smoking to findcessation programs,” McDermottsaid. “The new rules make the en-vironment safer for everyone.”

Some residents, however, de-cided to move elsewhere, Con-nelly said. This has left a coupleof apartments vacant and al-lowed others to be used by thecontractor — Portland Builders,Inc. of Portland, Me. — to tem-porarily store materials.

Although there is a short wait-ing list of potential residents,Connelly said that area residentswho think they might be interest-ed in moving to Highland Houseshould leave a message with theirnames and contact informationon his telephone answering ma-chine: 603-883-6770, ext. 134.

When asked whether they be-lieve Caleb’s acquisition of theHighland House has been a goodthing, both McDermott and Con-nelly enthusiastically replied,“Yes!” Both said that they are now

able to be more responsive andto better serve residents morequickly.

The renovation project’s ar-chitect-engineer is Richard Cur-tis & Associates of Portland, Me.

The N. H. Housing Finance Au-thority (www.nhhfa.org), HUD,Northern New England HousingInvestment Fund, CommunityCapital 2008 Limited Partnershipand Community Capital 2012 Lim-ited Partnership provided financ-ing for the project.


The nonprofit Caleb Group (www.thecalebgroup.org) of Swampscott,Mass., is investing $1.3 million to make renovations at the HighlandHouse in Whitefield, made up primarily of 1-bedroom apartment unitswith a few 2-bedroom ones.

“On Friday, Nov. 9, after theinitial testing was complete, we

started running the entire systemfor testing,” Gauthier said.

“Tweaking” the system con-tinues, and everything is goingwell, she said, noting that this isroutine for the start up of a sys-tem of this type.

Detailed planning underway torestore Weeks Historic Site


LANCASTER — “Planning forthe restoration work on theMount Prospect campus of build-ings is progressing nicely,” re-ported Director Ben Wilson of thestate Bureau of Historic Sites ofthe state Division of Parks andRecreation to a recent meeting ofthe directors of the Weeks StatePark Association. “We’ve been as-signed a new architect liaison —Timothy Smith of the state Bu-reau of Public Works (BPW).

“Architect Robert ‘Rob’ Bast,Smith, and I spent a full day onsite recently investigating all thebuildings that are included in therestoration, and we made someinteresting discoveries that havehelped define some of our earlierdesign quandaries.

“For instance, we have beentrying to figure out how to incor-porate a handicap accessiblebathroom in the main house with-out disrupting the building fabricand original design of the mainfoyer. What we discovered onclose inspection was that thedoorways entering the currentladies’ bathrooms and men’sbathroom were made during the1964 renovation.

“By simply removing theadded door jamb and casing onboth openings and returning thefenestration (opening) to its ‘asbuilt’ design, we can gain enoughspace to comply with the Ameri-cans with Disabilities Act (ADA)code, allowing us to offer thisconvenience to our visitors whilenot disturbing the authenticity ofthe space.

“We’ll also gain a more attrac-tive hall access to the re-intro-duced door leading to the recon-structed rear terrace,” Wilsonpointed out.

“We spent a great deal of timemeasuring and inspecting the firetower and green servants’ cot-tage (southeast of the Lodge).“Developing specifications anddrawings for these two structuresis Rob Bast’s main project focusright now. As it turns out, the firetower is in much worse conditionthan previously thought. “Thetower has suffered stone loss andis in desperate need of re-point-ing in part due to the well-inten-tioned — yet incorrect — point-ing work of the past.

“The cab floor supports havecontinued to deteriorate and willneed total replacement in thespring before a watchman canstart his or her duties. The sashin both the cab and tower are al-so in need of conservation work.

“The servants’ cottage was

actually a breath of fresh air,” Wil-son said. “Although it has mostlybeen neglected for the last 50years, the building was originallybuilt like a tank. Structurally thecottage is in excellent conditionand after the removal of the ‘Ra-dio Room’ (telecommunications)equipment, the interior will onlyneed a thorough cleaning, a fresh-ening up of the finishes and theaddition of a simple kitchen andbath. Exterior work will be limit-ed to cosmetics and work on ac-cessibility.

“All and all I’m pleased withthe progress that is being madeand feel confident we will makeour benchmarks as we work toget the project out to bid in Jan-uary 2013,” Wilson concluded.

“After our site visit I receiveda two-word e-mail from Smith re-garding his opinion of the site:AWESOME PLACE! We have an-other fan.”

TCF buys 8,910-acre SuccessPond tract as an interim step


SUCCESS — The ConservationFund (TCF), an Arlington, Va.-based national nonprofit land con-servation organization, purchased8,910 acres surrounding SuccessPond on Nov. 16 from the Heart-wood Forestland Fund IV, of TheForestland Group (TFG), LLC.

“Our next step is to hold thistract in the Unincorporated Placeof Success in anticipation of put-ting a ‘working forest’ conserva-tion easement in place, first raisingthe needed dollars to ensure thatTCF can keep the promises it’smade to citizens of the An-droscoggin Valley,” explainedTCF’s representative Nancy Bell ofShrewsbury, Vt. who works in thenorthern New England states: Ver-mont, New Hampshire and Maine.“The final results for which we areaiming with our partners in the re-gion will maximize the benefits foreverybody by keeping the landsintact and open for their tradition-al uses.”

It is highly unusual for TCF touse bridge financing, but leavingthis important low-elevation prop-erty available on the open marketseemed unwise, Bell explained ina Sunday morning telephone in-terview and e-mail exchange.

“TCF doesn’t usually talk aboutinterim transactions like this be-cause they're just one step of manyin a long process,” Bell said. “TCFhas been working with local com-munities and numerous groupsand individuals over the last threeyears to craft a conservation out-come for these lands by placingthem under conservation ease-ments. When the landowner indi-cated it was selling, however, itwas important to us that we con-tinue to work with the region to-ward fulfilling their hopes for thefuture of this land. Purchasing theproperty was a way to ensure this.”

Bell envisions TCF setting up arecreational access advisory com-mittee to ensure that the commu-nity involvement in which TCF be-lieves so deeply is a sure thing.

“TCF is well known for working tobuild relationships and strengthencommunities as it conserves natu-ral and cultural resources and en-hances economic developmentopportunities, she explained.

“The Success Pond lands are arich mosaic of working forest andwildlife habitat surrounding Suc-cess Pond,” Bell said. “It’s a verypopular area for hunting and fish-ing; it hosts wild brook trout, alarge deer wintering area, and sev-eral state rare, threatened and en-dangered species, including Cana-da lynx (also listed as federallyThreatened), American marten,common loon and osprey.”

The project is ranked first inNew Hampshire for submission ofan application for FY14 ForestLegacy Program funding — a com-petitive national process. Bellpointed out, “If attained, Legacyfunding would ensure sustainablemanagement of the woodlandsand guarantee public recreationalaccess to a variety of pedestrianand motorized activities currentlyenjoyed.”

TCF and Bell were previouslyinvolved in conserving 4,777 acresin Coös when the National ParkService closed on a $2.48 milliontransaction in November 2010.That landmark project used twoyears’ worth of federal Land andWater Conservation Fund (LWCF)

monies to protect high-elevationwatersheds and numerous brooksthat flow into the AndroscogginRiver, conserving the north flankof the Mahoosuc Mountain Range.

TCF facilitated the NationalPark Service purchasing theselands from Thomas and Scott Dil-lon of Anson, Me., adding eightmiles to the Appalachian NationalScenic Trail (AT) along its northboundary plus the locally popularCarlo Col, Goose Eye and Successtrails and access to them via Suc-cess Pond Road. TCF also facilitat-ed acquiring a “working forest”conservation easement to cover1,200 acres of land adjoining theAT in Shelburne, also from T. R. Dil-lon Logging Co.

The previous year, in 2009, TCFand its many local partners com-pleted efforts to conserve the his-toric Philbrook Farm Inn and adja-cent Croftie Farm in Shelburne.This project involved many localpartners, plus the state Land andCommunity Heritage InvestmentProgram (LCHIP) and threelandowners who donated conser-vation easements on their proper-ties to leverage additional funding.With everyone working together, apermanent conservation ease-ment was placed on these proper-ties, totaling slightly less than1,000 acres with a mile of frontageon the Androscoggin River.

needs to be organized. These seminars will help you

get started with a system thatwill work for you to keep yourrecords sorted, organized, up todate, and more accurate. Bringyour shoebox, all your expensereceipts, your sales slips, andany other information that youhave regarding your business.

BERLIN— Coos County busi-ness owners interested in sellingto the federal government canlearn more about the processduring a workshop on Friday, De-cember 14 at White MountainCommunity College.

stand a solicitation, and how tomake sure that your bid or pro-posal isn’t discarded before it’sread.

She became a widow in 1985when her husband died. Shoff’smany friends, made through the

church and other community or-ganizations, have kept in touchwith her over the years, and thecane presentation ceremony was afine opportunity for her friendsand neighbors to enthusiasticallycelebrate the good and long lifethat she has led.

The tradition of a town’s oldestcitizen being given temporary cus-tody of an impressive gold-headedcane began over 100 years ago. In1909, a circulation-boosting cam-

paign launched by “Boston Post”newspaper publisher Edwin Grozi-er started a tradition that is stillbeing followed throughout NewEngland.

Grozier possessed 700 blackivory walking canes, tipped with24-carat rolled gold heads, whichhe mailed out to 700 towns in thefive New England states in whichthe Post was circulated. The listdid not include Connecticut wherethe newspaper was not sold.

The selectmen of each townwere entrusted with the task ofawarding the cane to their town'seldest male citizen, to be passedupon his death to his successor.When canes were presented, thePost would run a story and photo-graph, hoping that the recipient’sfriends and fellow townspeoplewould buy the paper.

In 1930 the rules governing pas-sage of the cane were expanded toinclude women. Production of thePost ended in 1956. More than halfthe canes are still being awardedto eldest citizens.

GROVETON — The 2012-2013 Groveton girl’s basketballteam rallied in the third quar-ter to surpass the Lady Eaglesof yesteryear 35-31.

Early hoops by Jena Whee-lock and Kelly Collins tied upthe game 2-2 for the first twominutes. Then at 5:02 freesfrom Makenna Burke and a bas-ket by Alicia Lesperancebrought the young’ns ahead 6-2.

The saving grace for theAlumni was a hoop and three-pointer off the fingertips ofEmily Pelletier to put them inthe lead 7-6 at the end of the

quarter. In the second quarter the

game stayed as tight as a rub-ber band on a lobster claw withthe score tying two more timesbefore back-to-back threes

from Caroline Hall and Pelletieropened the game up 15-9 with1:20 before halftime. The alum-ni held the lead 16-11 at the endof the first half. Burke couldhave closed the gap from the

foul line, but only went threefor 11 the first half.

The third quarter startedwith a quick back and forth be-fore the Lady Eagles went on aten-point tear thanks to Whee-

lock and Burke including back-to-back threes by Wheelock fora 25-18 lead.

The home team held ontothe lead into the fourth domi-nating 35-22 with 2:50 left in the

game. A valiant nine-point ef-fort by the alumni then eruptedfrom Collins and Katelyn Clouti-er that lasted until the finalbuzzer.

The Alumni went 38 percentor three for eight from the foulline while the regulars shot 35percent going seven for 20.

Is it possible to grow food prof-itably and also be environmental-ly soundly? Gary F. Zimmer thinksit is, and he tells how in “The Bio-logical Farmer: a Guide to a Sus-tainable and Profitable System ofFarming.” Another book of inter-est to gardeners is “The NewKitchen Garden, Designing, Plant-ing and Cultivating” by Anna Pa-vord.

For those who like to maketheir gifts themselves DianePhillips has put together a bookof the “Perfect Mix: 90 Gift-givingIdeas for Bread, Soup, Dessert andOther Home-made mixes.”

Most of the books mentionedthis week are gifts, many of themfrom the collection the librarywas given recently. As always Bar-bara has investigated each of theboxes as they were brought in,and set aside those which will en-hance the library collection. It’snot an easy choice, weighing thevalue of the book against the

space limits available. But ourstaff have always been very cleverat shoehorning more books intothe space available.

From Eric Homberger comes“Mrs. Astor’s New York” whichpresents a portrait of “money andsocial power in a Gilded Age.”There were a few novels as well,among them “Sea Glass Summer”a story wet in Maine by DorothyCannell. Others are “A WinterDream” by Richard Paul Evansand “The Traitor’s Wife” by SusanHigginbotham.

“Captain Vorpatril’s Alliance”is a thriller by Lois McMaster Bu-jold. Historical biographies in-clude “Queen Isabella” by AlisonWeir and “Mary Queen of Scotsand the Murder of Lord Darnley”also by Alison Weir.

Winter is a good time for look-ing at the night sky since thenights are long and usually dark.It would help a bit if it weren’t al-so often pretty cold. Re-cent studies of historical recordsof one sort or another show thatpeople have been watching theskies from earliest times. In “StarMaps” William R. Fix describes“new evidence from ancient civi-

lizations and modern scientific re-search” are adding to our knowl-edge. A broader overview is foundin “Don’t Know Much about theUniverse” by Kenneth C. Davis.

“Miss Leavitt’s Stars” byGeorge Johnson is a biography of“the woman who discovered howto measure the universe.” RobertRuby recounts the history of theFrobisher arctic expedition in“Unknown Shore – the Lost Histo-ry if England’s Arctic Colony.” Ex-plorers in general are the subjectof “The Discoverers – an Encyclo-pedia of Explorers and Explo-ration” edited by Helen Depar.

Two of the gifts present infor-mation about how people lived inMedieval England. “Medieval Eng-

land” by Colin Platt is a social andarchaeological history. “Plea-sures and Pastimes in MedievalEngland” is by Compton Reeves.

Several gifts are atlases of onefind or another. “The Atlas of Me-dieval Man” is by Colin Platt. “TheCounties of Britain” is a Tudor At-las edited by John Speed. Anoth-er atlas is “The County Maps ofOld England” edited by ThomasMoule.

A broader area is covered inthe “Atlas of Medieval Europe” byDonald Matthew.

Jocelyn Murray has edited a“Cultural Atlas of Africa.” Twobooks on Egypt are “The PenguinHistorical Atlas of Ancient Egypt”by Bill Manley and the Fodorguide to “Exploring Egypt.

People in New Hampshirehave plenty of blessings to countthis Thanksgiving. Among themis our lowest-in-the-nation pover-ty rate. Nevertheless, U.S. Censusdata show that the severe reces-sion and slow recovery havepushed rates higher. In 2011, 8.8%of individuals and 5.6% of familiesin New Hampshire were living be-low the poverty line. Although na-tional rates are about twice ournumbers, since 2008 an addition-al 16,700 individuals fell belowthe poverty line in the GraniteState—an increase of over 17%.

The numbers are worse forkids—with 12% of New Hamp-shire children in poverty. That’sdouble the 6% of children inpoverty in 2000. According to astudy released earlier this yearby UNH’s Carsey Institute, resi-

dents of northern and westernNew Hampshire are most at riskof being food insecure. But one infour children residing in Man-chester lives in poverty—and halfqualify for free school lunches.

Studies by Feeding America,which works with state and localfood banks, found that the undu-plicated numbers of clients seek-ing food assistance through theNH Food Bank and its registeredagencies nearly doubled between2006 and 2010. Another troublingtrend— the percentage of clientsunder 18 years of age increasedby 25%. On Tuesday, just beforethe Thanksgiving holiday, the NHChildren’s Alliance held an eventat the Henniker CommunitySchool to unveil a Road Map toEnd Childhood Hunger in NewHampshire. The department isone of many state agencies andorganizations that have partici-pated in the New Hampshire FoodAdvisory Council that has devel-oped the Road Map.

National Dairy Council, partof the dairy farmer checkoff pro-gram, is partnering with FeedingAmerica and the Academy of Nu-trition and Dietetics to find inno-vative ways to address hungerand obesity, especially in chil-dren and youth. “National DairyCouncil has focused on nutritionresearch, education and commu-nication for nearly a century toencourage healthy eating pat-terns and lifestyles. Becausethere is often a gap between thequantity of food that can be se-cured and the nutritional qualityof that food, many of our nation’shungry are also overweight. Weknow that finding a solution tothis problem will take everyoneworking together,” said Jean Ra-galie, RD and President of Na-tional Dairy Council. “We hope toraise awareness of the issue, andeducate thought leaders and thepublic to integrate sound nutri-tion principles in feeding pro-grams and increase access tohealthy foods.”

The NH Food Bank has reallyembraced efforts to get moredairy products to its clients, andarranged for refrigeration for WT-PL’s Hunger Hurts in NH fooddrive at Shaw’s supermarket in

Concord last week. Granite StateDairy Promotion’s Amy Hall wason the air promoting the drivewith a challenge to match her do-nation of 10 gallons of milk. In-stantly, Hall had her first re-sponse on Facebook—from Pitts-field dairy farmer Steve Marston.

John Porter’s experiencesgrowing up on his family’sLebanon farm inform the popularstories he contributes to theWeekly Market Bulletin. Thisweek Porter writes about takingpigs to market. The setting Porterdescribes may sound familiareven to those who are too young,or not lucky enough to havegrown up around farms of thatera. The pen under the stable,where pigs rooted through a pileof manure and bedding from thehorses or cattle above, the con-coction of feeds slopped into thepigs’ trough—all are redolent ofthe E.B. White classic, Charlotte’sWeb. “It smelled of hay and itsmelled of manure,” went White’sdescription of Homer Zucker-man’s big, old barn. But insteadof a cerebral spider spinningword webs, Porter offers up tipsfrom Temple Grandin on humaneand efficient handling and trans-portation of pigs.

Northwood Home Health & Hospice receives top National Honors

By Eileen RegenThe Bethlehem Jewish commu-

nity opens the 2012 Hanukkah sea-son at 4 p.m., Saturday, December8, with a traditional Hanukkahservice and latke (pancake) partyat the Bethlehem Hebrew Congre-gation Synagogue, 39 StrawberryHill, Bethlehem. The group willthen gather for the annual publicceremony to light the first candleof the hanukiyat, the Hanukkahmenorah (candelabra), at 6 p.m.,on the front lawn of BethlehemTown Hall. Members and friendsare invited to attend these joyfulevents that open the eight-day hol-iday celebrating the Festival ofLights and honoring religious free-dom. The ceremony will includeHanukkah songs and sufganyiot(jelly doughnuts) with hot cocoafor all.

Hanukkah commemorates avictory of religious freedom for theJewish community in Israel whichat the time was ruled by the Syri-an-Greek Empire (2nd century,BCE). Jewish religious practiceswere forbidden, and Jews wereforced to accept idol-worship andto follow other Hellenistic prac-tices and customs. The Torahscrolls were confiscated andburned. The Holy Temple (SecondTemple) was robbed to pay the in-

creasingly high taxes demandedby the Romans. When Jews re-belled against an order to offer sac-rifices to the Greek gods, Mat-tityahu with his sons and brothersleft their village and fled to the hillsof Judea. More and more Jews fol-lowed, and soon began guerillawarfare against their oppressors.Judah Maccabee, a man of greatcourage, was chosen to lead theJewish fighters, and soon, theywere engaged in a full-scale rebel-lion.

When the Jewish soldiers de-feated their Hellenist adversaries,they returned to Jerusalem to lib-erate the city. They discoveredthat the Holy Temple had been de-filed and completely looted. Theyset about to clean it and to removeall of the idols. They built a new al-

tar and crafted a new menorah toreplace the golden one that hadbeen stolen. When they found thelast container of holy oil to lightthe menorah, they discovered thatthere was only enough oil to lastfor one day. A messenger, sent outto find more holy oil, did not re-turn for eight days.. Miraculously,the tiny bit of oil lasted for the en-tire eight days until the messengerreturned. The Holy Temple was re-dedicated. The Hanukkah holidayof re-dedication and thanksgivingto God was established to lasteight days in memory of the mira-cle of the oil. It is called the Festi-val of Lights, Feast of Lights, orFestival of Dedication. During thisholiday, people’s thoughts focuson ways to re-dedicate themselvesto Torah and its teachings, and

they gather to celebrate the sur-vival of Judaism from ancienttimes to the present, as well as thefull meaning of religious freedomand responsibilities for all people.

The menorah used forHanukkah is called a hanukiyah. Itis unique to the holiday with itsbranches for eight candles to com-memorate the eight days that theoil burned, and a ninth candle, ashamash or servant, that sitsapart. The shamash is used everynight to light the other candles:one candle on the first night, twocandles on the second night, andso on until all eight candles are liton the eighth night.

It is customary to give smallgifts to children on each night ofthe holiday. Small gifts could in-clude necessities such as a newpair of sox, or a small bag of raisins,almonds, and chocolate coins touse to play the dreidel game, orperhaps a calendar for the comingsecular year. Larger and more elab-orate gifts are now more prevalentbecause of the influences of theChristmas gift-giving season.

Foods deep-fried in oil are eat-en during this holiday to reflectthe miracle of oil. Potato or beetpancakes fried in deep oil are pop-ular dishes. It was also customaryto prepare fried dough with meatinside. Deep-fried doughnuts filledwith jelly (sufganyiot) are alsoserved.

Families enjoy spinning thedreidel, a four-sided top decoratedwith a Hebrew letter on each of thefour sides: N-G-H-SH to representthe words nes gadol hayah shemwhich translates to “A great mira-cle happened there.” The dreidelgame is played with raisins, nuts,pennies, or gold-wrapped choco-lates that look like large coins. De-pending on which side is facing upwhen the dreidel is spun, the play-er does nothing (? = N), takeseverything (? = G) in the centerbank, takes half the bank ( H = ?),or adds a coin, nut, or candy to thebank (? = SH). The game continuesuntil the bank is depleted and allplayers but one are “out.”

The celebration is open to thecommunity. There is no charge.For more information and to RSVPplease contact Dave Goldstone [email protected] orMartin Kessel [email protected].

Jewish Festival of Lights begins December 8

Confusion may arise from the many English spellings of the name of the holiday. Hanukkah is a Hebrew wordwritten in Hebrew characters. Transliterations vary, thus leading to the variety of spellings.

Hanukiyah with dreidel, candy, coins and nuts Dreidel and hanukiyah designs are traditional or imaginative,and feature a variety of materials to reflect personal interests and art preferences.
