Clutters last met with the board in September of 2008 with a pitch for Happy Tails Dog Park. Her concept is to construct a two-acre park with six-foot fencing, park- ing and restrooms where dogs and their owners could enjoy off-leash time, some- thing Clutters says is not available in many places in the Lakes Region. Similar parks in Raymond, Portsmouth, Nashua and other towns in the southern portion of the state have been met with great success, she said, and claimed that build- ing one in Belmont would have many benefits for the town. Among those listed in her Power Point presenta- tion were socialization op- portunities for dogs and their owners and a safe place for canines to exercise without hazards like broken glass, nails or cans found along the roads. A dog owner herself, Clut- class lead by a Certified Ani- mal Behaviorist. Waivers re- leasing the town of any lia- bility would also have to be signed and placed on file. "We want to do this on town property," Clutters said, "because then the town will maintain control of the prop- erty. The town can walk in and inspect it unannounced and if there's a problem the ACO (animal control officer) and police would not have to get permission to enter." The park would be built with rounded corners to pre- vent aggression among the dogs, have onsite waste sta- tions for owners to clean up after their pets and a stone dust ground cover with Zeo- lite rocks to reduce odor and the spread of fleas and ticks. Chairman Ron Cormier told Clutters he would not say he was opposed to the park but he was opposed to her re- quest to use property on Du- tile Road. He was strongly against the park being in a residential or rural setting. "I don't want to be getting 20 phone calls a day com- plaining about this," he told her. He and Selectman David Morse suggested she consid- er bringing her plans to La- conia, which might be more agreeable to such a venture, or even to the state, where perhaps land in an area like Ahern Park might be avail- able. Cormier was also con- cerned from a business standpoint that Clutters had no numbers on how much the park would cost. He advised her that as a business she should be aware how much the construction would be to see if it would even be feasi- ble. He asked she come back with actual cost estimates for fencing and other features. Clutters and Attorney Tr- isha Morris, who has been working with Clutters on Happy Tails, said that private donations and funds from FE- MA or other emergency man- agement agencies might be available. Morris, who re- sides in Barnstead, said that following last year's tornado an off-leash park in Raymond assisted people by providing a safe place for all sorts of an- imals left homeless in the dis- aster. The park received mon- ey from FEMA for doing so.

Though she’s taken classes in pen and ink and pen and water, Fogg said that art is a hobby for her, not a career, and she’s never sold anything before. “I’m strictly amateur,” Fogg said. “I have been doing artwork off and on as a hob- by since my 30s.” Despite her modesty, how- ever, Fogg couldn’t pass up a chance to help the Historical Society raise money for its on- going preservation and restoration projects, like the current one at the Province Road Meeting House. A study, paid for by a grant, was com- pleted recently that identified what needs to be done to pre- serve that building. Now the society has applied for fund- ing and will phase in restora- tion activities as funding be- comes available, either through grants or fundrais- ing. Fogg chose the four sites featured in her artwork based on input from the society and deciding which landmarks people would be most famil- iar with. The four sites are the 1792 Province Road Meeting House, which is listed in the New Hampshire State Regis- ter of Historic Places; the bell tower of the village’s 1833 Bel- mont Mill; the town band- stand, which will celebrate its centennial year in October; and the 1894 Gale School. “The Gale School has long been one that people have been interested in,” Fogg said, referring in part to the somewhat recent “Save the Gale School” efforts that have PHOTO BY MEGHAN SIEGLER Christine Fogg touches up one of her pen and ink drawings at her home art studio in Belmont.

Fogg herself is a relative newcomer to Belmont, having lived in town for a handful of years after marrying Woody Fogg. At Belmont’s 2008 Old Home Day,the couple was ap- proached and asked to con- sider joining the Historical Society. “My husband has lived here since the 70s and was very familiar with the people in the Belmont Historical So- ciety,” Fogg said. The two joined together, and since then Fogg said she feels more connected to the town. Preparing for and work- ing through the artistic process has only reinforced that connection.

The plans would create parking lots for downtown tenants and merchants, leav- ing Main Street open for cus- tomers of local businesses. Right now, apartment ten- ants, merchants and em- ployees are utilizing these parking spots, leaving many non-Main Street residents at a loss as to where they should park to do business. Vince Paratore of the Main Street Program pre- sented a mapped proposal for downtown Tilton, desig- nating changes and what lots would be available for residential and merchant parking. The proposal in- cludes adding more space to the current municipal lot off School Street in Tilton by en- tering into an agreement with property owner Carmine Sarno. The town has discussed options with Sarno, which would include returning the $500 in taxes to him each year in exchange for use of the lot for munici- pal parking. The town would maintain the lot for snow re- moval and tenants of build- ings in the area would be able to purchase parking stickers for $15 per year. Property owner Bob De- Forge expressed his concern that the town was creating an "administrative night- mare" in monitoring who lived or owned a business in the town's downtown area. Selling passes at $15 per car for tenants and business peo- ple could be difficult to track, he said.

TILTON — Concern for thewellbeing of the town’s seniorcitizens has prompted theBoard of Selectmen to createa check-in system that will al-low the selectmen and anyother volunteers to look outfor their elderly neighbors.
At the selectmen's meetinglast Thursday night Select-man Pat Consentino made arequest for permission tostart an elderly check-in pro-gram. Consentino remindedthe board that as part of hercampaign for a seat on theboard last March she hadpromised to do more for sen-ior citizens in the town.
"It's been brought to my at-tention that some elderly peo-ple in this town need help,"Consentino told fellow select-men. "I feel like some havebeen forgotten." Her idea, shetold them, is still just a "draft"of what she would like to do
but she was seeking an okayto develop a "check" systemfor elderly residents livingalone who would like some-one to give them a friendly calland see how they are doingeach day.
"We'd form a list and call tosay hi and ask if everything isokay," she said. "If anything isgoing on then we'd take it fromthere and get them the helpthey need."Several localtowns, she told them, havestarted similar programs andhave been "very successful."
All of the selectmen wereenthusiastic about the propo-sition. Norm Boudreau readi-ly volunteered his time, as didthe others. Chairman Kather-ine Dawson felt it was a "ter-rific" idea, and as Town Wel-fare Officer said she thoughtthere might be other ways shecould assist in such a pro-gram.
"Some elderly people maynot be aware of services out
there for them," Dawson said."I'd love to help with that."
Consentino assured theboard that this new programwould not cost the Town anymoney but instead would be
run strictly by volunteerism.With unanimous approval
by the selectmen, Consentinois now looking for fellow resi-dents who would have a fewminutes in their mornings to
call designated peoplethroughout the town.She asksthat anyone willing to help getsuch a program off theground to contact her. She canbe reached Monday through
Friday at the Tilton Town Of-fice, 286-4521 x100, or at homeby calling either 286-8700 or387-5711.

School Board needs Belmont resident to fill vacancy
How food defines a region

BELMONT — The resig-nation of Chairman Bill Hartof Belmont from the ShakerRegional School Board hasleft a void that the boardwould like to fill quickly.
nomination and election ofa new chairman due to the.
A resident of Belmont,Hart left the board recentlyciting personal reasons. Hehad been a member of theShaker Regional SchoolBoard for 11 years and hadlong been known as an activevolunteer in the schools.
At a meeting earlier thismonth, the board thankedHart for his years of dedica-tion and service to the dis-trict. SuperintendentMichael Cozort also praisedHart's years of service to thedistrict."Bill has been a won-derful member of the schoolboard and a chairman for sev-eral years," he said. "As a par-ent of Belmont Elementaryhe was a volunteer for proba-bly 17 or 18 years as well."
Vice-Chair Diane O'Harehad been acting chairman inHart's absence and at thatmeeting was voted in to fill thespot for the remainder of theyear. Roy Roberts will nowserve as vice chair. Regardingthe open seat left by Hart, Co-zort cited the process that nor-mally takes place under a mid-year vacancy."Usually theboard directs the superin-tendent to advertise the va-cancy," he told them. "The
board then conducts inter-views with those who expressan interest in theposition."School Board mem-bers agreed with Cozort's sug-gestion to advertise the open-ing.The board is accepting let-ters of interest in the positionfrom now until Sept 3. The re-quirement for this opening isthat any individual applyingmust be a registered voterfrom Belmont. In mid-Sept.the board will begin conduct-
ing interviews before makingthe final decision on filling theseat. Next March the positionwill then be open for SchoolDistrict elections and a voterdecision on a permanentboard member. Belmont resi-dents with an interest in fill-ing the vacancy are asked tomail their letter of interest tothe Shaker Regional SchoolDistrict SAU office at 58School St., Belmont, N.H.03220.

Baked beans, Indian pud-ding, fried clams, and lobsterrolls. So many foods are dis-tinctive to New England.Does food have anything tosay about who we are as a re-gion, who we are as New Eng-landers? Bean-hole beans,jonnycakes, chocolate chipcookies, pork pie – you canfind them all over the coun-try now but they all original-ly came from New England,like so many of the customsand mores familiar to all. In-formative, at times humor-ous, chuck full of fascinatingnuggets about the history ofour regional foods, the talkwill include reference tosome of New England's more
famous foodies, such as Fan-nie Farmer, Haydn Pearson,and Julia Child, as well as ananalysis of how the chang-ing times of New Englandhas affected the way we eat.

Farmer donates land to Winnisquam High SchoolBY ELIZABETH DOYONSTAFF INTERN
SANBORNTON — In abad economy and with a spellof bad weather, it can be hardto keep up a small farm, saysGreg Stone, owner of BrookHill Farm in Sanbornton.But by passing along some ofhis land to Winnisquam HighSchool’s agricultural pro-gram, he’s making the mostof what he’s got.
“It’s been a quiet sum-mer,” Stone said.
The heavy amounts ofrain has slowed growing andaffected his hay stock.
Many know Brook HillFarm for its fresh eggs. Stoneowns 100 chickens, and 50chicks that will mature intoegg-laying chickens. EachSaturday morning Stone de-livers eggs to his loyal cus-tomers along the road andaround Sanbornton.
But the farm is more thanjust eggs; it has vegetables,too. In the past, Stone hasopened up a farm stand to sellhis vegetables, but this yearhe will not open until later inthe summer because of therain. The vegetables are notnearly on schedule, he said.
Stone is just one of themany generations of Stonesto work the land at Brook HillFarm, which has been a partof the Sanbornton Commu-nity since 1790. Last year,Stone went to the town to askfor a tax break on the farm,but since the town found nohistorical value he did not re-ceive it.
“Most people don’t live inthe same house as their an-cestors did,” he explained.“My great grandfather wasborn and died on the samebed here at this farm.”
Many of the Stone ances-
try lived off of the land atBrook Hill Farm, and thefamily is continuing this tra-dition. Stone works the farmwith a few family membersas they continue the tradi-tion of keeping the farm en-tirely within the family.
“My aunt and unclemoved in a couple years agoand they help around … andmy grandparents help out.My grandfather is a betterfarmer than I am, so he doesa lot (in the garden),” Stonesaid.
The combination ofStone’s love for his family-farm and quiet summersgrew into an idea. For manyyears Greg has consideredwhat he will do with the farmsince he has no children topass it on to.
“I have considered sellingit so maybe I didn’t have towork so hard,” Stone said,but added that it would nev-er be worth it because he en-joys the hard work too much.
Stone has also considereddonating it to the town butworries about future use ofthe land.
“I don’t want to donate theentire land to the town atonce, because (the towncould) just take it all downand build houses,” he said. “Ithink little donations will bebest so that the entire com-munity could be involved.”
Stone decided his first do-nation would go to the localhigh school. He approachedJanet Rosequist, director ofAgriculture Education atWinnisquam Regional HighSchool, with a plan to give thedepartment some of his land.
The Agriculture Center atthe high school is well knownfor its success and awards inyears past. The “Ag Center”
allows students at Win-nisquam and surroundingtowns to take classes in pro-fessional agriculture andforestry for high school cred-it.
“It has been so quietaround here that I just need-ed some activity,” Stone said.
He donated a plot of landof 40 feet by 100 feet to theschool to grow a crop.
“(Potatoes are) a highyield crop,” said Rosequist.“We expect to harvest half aton of potatoes. Greg did theinitial tilling, we loaned himour till to put on his tractor.He did the rough tilling, butthe whole point was to get thekids taking control of it.”
“I try not to interfere withit too much,” said Stone.“Their teachers help themwith taking care of theplants.”
Eight of the student offi-cers in the program havebeen running the crop thissummer. It was planted inMay, with harvest expectedin October.
“It was a good project witha concrete start and finish,”Rosequist said. “So far abouttwo dozen students havehelped, and my Horticultureclass will probably dig andharvest the potatoes.”
As part of the project, thestudents will donate theirharvested potatoes to theFranklin Community ActionProgram. The Ag Center hasworked with Franklin forseveral years doing fooddrives around the holidaysand helping them run andgrow a garden.
“Given the economy andour established relationship,it was the right thing,”Roseq-uist said. “The best part (forthe students) is going to be
when we harvest. When theyare involved in actually dig-ging this crop of potatoes andcarrying what they harvest-ed right to the food pantry.That physical act will make agood connection for them tophilanthropy and involve-ment in the community.”
In the future, Rosequisthopes to plant winter squash,as well as acorn or butter
squash, “something that thefood pantry can keep aroundfor a while and use.”
“To do something gener-ous with the fruits of theirlabor is very important. Ithink that is crucial,” saidJanet.
Stone said he hopes thatwith little donations of hisland, many people will be-come involved in the land so
that it never loses its historyand becomes more meaning-ful to the town of Sanborn-ton.
”It’s in my veins to behere,” he said. “I am not a bigtime farm by any measure,but it’s home. I think (thefarm) is worth somethingand I don’t want to lose that.”

A very determined dog lover in Belmontis adamant about building a dog park in town,on town-owned land. We were happy to hear attheir meeting Monday that the selectmen seemto be more open to the idea than they have beenin the past.
Like the aforementioned dog lover LisaClutters said, dog parks in other NewHampshire towns have thrived. We’ve had theopportunity to pass by Derry’s dog park onnumerous occasions, during good weather andbad, and it is always busy – always.
Having a dog park in Belmont could bean economic boost for the town in terms ofbringing in dog owners from neighboringtowns. And while it may seem unrealistic tothink that a dog park would attract potentialresidents, people who love their dogs may bejust as attracted to a good dog park as parentswould be to a good school system.
This is not to say that the selectmen’sworries aren’t justified. Housing the park in aresidential area is a disaster waiting to happen,so it’s imperative that Clutters finds land awayfrom houses or potential residential sites. Thisappears to be the biggest hurdle for Happy Tailsright now, since suitable land is the key ingre-dient for a viable dog park.
The selectmen are also concerned aboutfunding. Our pro-dog-park opinion is based onthe assumption that taxpayers will not have topay a cent to construct or maintain this park.Clutters seems to think she can handle whatev-er costs aren’t covered by grants or other fund-ing sources, and we hope she’s taking upkeepand maintenance into consideration. No one isgoing to be happy if the dog park requests moremoney down the road, which means a longtermplan needs to be established.
What the town is being asked for is a landcontribution, which is not unreasonable. Usinga parcel of town land will take it off the taxrolls, but that’s not going to directly hurt tax-payers, and as the selectmen said, theConservation Commission has land availablethat could be used for recreational purposes.
As for concerns that the dog park willturn into an unused, fenced-off parcel of land,we say this: “If you build it, they will come.”Much like baseball players, dogs and their own-ers want a nice place to play – together.
Happy Tails to you

Support single-payer healthcare
Thanks, but no thanks
To the Editor:
From years of working asa nurse in military hospitalsand then to those of countyhospitals I witnessed and ex-perienced medical care forall via government-run facil-ities. There was no exclusionof acceptance because ofone’s inability to pay. I deeplyrespected that.Upon becom-ing a parent my childrenwere covered because oftheir father’s state employ-ment health insurance. Onceagain, it was a stress-freehealthcare period.
Upon reaching my 60s, Ipersonally had need for CO-BRA. Read: expensive healthcoverage. I then needed sur-gery and so, fortunately, hadan insurance .We all knowwhat it would have been wereI not able to afford it. Becauseof COBRA’s costs, I had thelesser of two evils.
Now on Medicare, I’monce again, in a comfort zoneas most costs are covered.Amidst these past years,however, I have known all toowell the pains and frustra-tions of dear friends whocouldn’t afford any health in-surance; who had what theinsurance companiesdeemed “ pre-existing condi-tions” and therefore couldn’tobtain insurance (or could doso at markedly higher premi-ums); and others who wentinto bankruptcy because oftheir healthcare costs.
Then, in the last threemonths I learned of the con-cept “Single Payer” system(vs hundreds of insurancecompanies acting as payers).I have gone to DC on behalfof it; hosted gatherings at myhome in which others couldlearn of it; and attended a fo-rum in the legislative build-ing to share my concerns and
learn of others and their ap-proach to the healthcare sys-tem. I feel very grateful thatrespected local physicianssuch as Doctors Clancy,Kiefner and Santiago areamong the thousands of oth-ers advocating for the pas-sage of HR 676, the bill in sup-port of “Single Payer.” Refwww.pnhp.org for additionalinformation.We, in a statewhere over a 137,000 personsalone can’t afford health in-surance, have a real need tostep back and reassess howthe overly profitable privatehealth insurance companiesare taking home monies ourneighbors need for them-selves and their families.Thirty cents of every health-care dollar is going towardCEO salaries, marketing,“perks” and lobbyists for theprivate insurance compa-nies. Savings from this over-head, alone, could apparent-
ly generate four hundredBILLION dollars annually …sufficient to cover the unin-sured and improve health-care for all.Payment for the“Single Payer”? Increase ourFICA taxes to 3.3 percent.We’d no longer have to payinsurance premiums, nor co-pays nor deductibles. We,consumers would, onceagain, have control of ourhealth. We would still be ableto have our pick of physi-cians, hospitals. These andother good components areavailable thru “Single Pay-er.” It is a medically sound,just, affordable and caringconcept. Please research thisdynamic health coverageand voice your opinions toyour Congressmen and Rep-resentatives before the Sept.vote on healthcare.
I will too.

To the Editor:
I am a citizen of The Unit-ed States. I am also a taxpay-er to local, the
State of New Hampshireand The Federal Govern-ments. I am entitled to rightsunder The Constitution aswell as representation fromelected officials. That said, Iwill no longer sit by and al-low my rights of liberty(fought and died for, by many,from the beginning of my
country until this day) to benullified.
Our president and electedofficials are hoping to imposea health care system upon usthat has been proven to be in-competent wherever it hasbeen tried, yet undauntedthey press forth. I demandmy right to select the avenueof my own choice as I can af-ford it, when it comes to de-cisions concerning my or myfamily's health.
Why do our elected offi-
cials immune themselvesfrom this "Healthcare Sys-tem?” The answer is obvious.Senator John Edwards wasright when he said that thereare two Americas, but it isnot the rich vs. the poor. It isthe elite (congress and thecurrent administration) vs.the working class of any eco-nomic level.
Why not do something toreduce the costs that nowcause healthcare to be so ex-pensive like "capping" mal-
practice suits or denyingcare to illegal aliens which isbankrupting hospitalsacross this nation? No Mr.Obama I do not want you tocome between me and mydoctor. So DON'T! Stop thespending and taxing that,along with your socializedagenda, is going to kill thisnation as we have known it.
God Bless America.

Hall Library Reading program wraps up with ice cream socialBY DONNA [email protected]
NORTHFIELD — A sum-mer's worth of reading end-ed with a cool treat as theHall Memorial Library host-ed an ice cream social for thekids who participated in theSummertime and the Read-ing is Easy program.
The state-lead programtheme focused activities andbooks around outdoor sum-mer activities, and Chil-dren's Librarian KellyFinemore said it was a lot offun for the children.
Fifty area youth signed upfor the reading program, andwhile it wasn't a recordcrowd this year, the booksflew off the shelves all thesame.
"They easily read five tosix hundred books this sum-mer," said Finemore.
"And depending on theweather we had up to 43 peo-ple here on Wednesdayswhen we made some of ourprojects."
Those projects includedsunflowers made from paperplates and yarn, Tyveck fishkites and hot air balloons.
Tasha Dube, 11, of North-field recently relocated toMaine but came back to en-joy the ice cream as a cele-bration of her summer read-ing. She couldn't decide on afavorite author from all sheread over the past fewmonths but admitted to apreference for mysterybooks. Making the sunflow-ers, she said, was also a lot of
fun and joins the memoriesshe will take with her to hernew home.
Four-year-old EmmaCullen, on the other hand,had no trouble listing her fa-vorite summer reading.Any-thing from Curious Georgeto Madeleine and any booksabout dogs suited her justfine over the lazy days ofsummer.
"We just love to read," saidher mom Colleen Cullen."We come every week to thelibrary and take out seven to10 books. Emma loves goingto the library and to book-stores."
Taylor Smart of North-field had read eight books bythe time the ice cream socialwas held but she wasn'tthrough with her summerreading. Having read allchapter books so far, her goalis to finish two more beforeschool starts up again in acouple of weeks.
"I just love reading," the 9-year-old said with a bigsmile. "Mystery books aremy favorite but I really liked'Kittens in the Kitchen,' too,even though it wasn't reallya mystery book."
All of this talk is music tochildren's librarians’ ears astheir goal is to increase in-terest in reading. Finemoresaid the state's summer read-ing program is geared in anage-appropriate fashion andchildren are rewarded forreading all summer long.This year's topic was espe-cially fun-filled as it covered
a broad range of outdoor ac-tivities and gave them roomto be creative.
"We give them slots to fillin for 20 books they haveread, but it really depends onwhat type of books they'rereading- chapter bookscount for more," she ex-plained. "When they fill intheir sheet they can comeand pick out prizes from thebox we have here."
The prize box was part ofTimothy Pham's missiononce his ice cream was gone.Timothy handed in his list ofbooks and was eager tosearch the box to chose hisprizes. Books, pencils, CD's,crafts and even a few stuffedtoys and photo frames werepart of the selection tochoose from.
Luckily for young bookworms like Timothy and Em-ma, reading enjoyment con-tinues all year long as the li-brary hosts a weekly storyhour each Wednesday. Heldtwice during the day at 10:30and 11:30 a.m., children areinvited to come enjoy a goodbook and some social timewith other youngsters fromthe area.
"It's open to kids of allages really," Finemore said."It's all year long and ofcourse a lot of fun, too."

Thompson brings hope, and awards, to Boys and Girls
BY ELIZABETH DOYONSTAFF INTERN
LACONIA — The Boysand Girls Club of the LakesRegion was gleaming withgold on Monday when direc-tor Ernest Thompson visit-ed with his Golden Globe andAcademy Award, which heearned for “On GoldenPond.”
Thomson shared the
movie “Out of Time” withthe teens, which he directedin 1999. The kids watched themovie and got the chance toask Thompson questionsabout the movie making-process afterward. He al-lowed all of the kids to holdand take pictures with thetwo awards.
“They were heavy!” saidAlyssa Berg, 16, of Laconia.“It was cool to see someonesuccessful like him righthere in Laconia.”
Thompson, along withbusiness partner and pro-
ducer Morgan Murphy, cre-ated Whitebridge Farm Pro-ductions in New Hampton,where they run weekendworkshops for kids to expe-rience the arts of writing, di-recting, and acting in playsand movies.
“We have spent most ofour lives setting up pro-grams for people in the com-munity,” explained Murphy,who contacted Pat Bushy ofBoys and Girls Club of Laco-nia to set up the event.
Bushy is the Teen Centerdirector at the club, wheremany kids know her as“Mom.”
“They think of this astheir second home,” she ex-plained. “We have one of thelargest amounts of kids inthe North East.”
Bushy helped set up a pro-gram for the kids meet peo-ple of different professions.
“We wanted to show thekids what they could do,” shesaid.Recently people fromPlymouth State Collegecame to talk to the kids aboutfurthering their educationand using financial aid pro-grams. The visit fromThompson was an especiallyexciting one for the program,Bushy said.
“Ernest is a generousman … he is willing to dedi-cate his time to kids,” Mur-phy said. “He really believesin the kids and in spendingtime with them.”
Thomson said that he cre-ated his Whitebridge Farmclasses for kids to open theirminds.
“I always believed that ifyou have a dream, youshould follow it,” he ex-plained. “I would like kids tothink that they can do thistoo. The programs are an in-vitation to get involved anduse their imagination andsee that there is a world out-side of video games.”
Thompson hopes the kidscan find encouragement inhis programs.
“It is not so different fromme hanging out at the Y inKeene, N.H. (when I was akid),” he said.
He wants to expose localkids to theatre and the artsbecause he said they proba-bly wouldn’t get the oppor-tunity otherwise.
One of the kids from theprogram went up to Thomp-son before leaving and askedto shake his hand.
“He said that he ‘wantedto feel important,’” ex-plained Thompson, “I amjust a regular guy, but I liketo think that he can go homeand think that he can do thistoo.”

Meteor showers, the rooftop deck, and (lucky us) nothing but blacknessNorth Country Notebook
John Harrigan
In one of last week’s is-sues of the New York Times,opposite Maureen Dowd’slatest tirade (this is meant asa compliment, because I ad-mire her style, if not her ide-ology), was a piece titled“Dust in the (Cosmic) Wind”by Christopher Cokinos.
In it, Mr. Cokinos ob-served (neat verb in this top-ic) that for centuries Chris-tians associated the Perseidmeteor shower, which justoccurred, with the martyredSaint Lawrence, whose feastday fell on August 10, there-upon likening the displaywith “the tears of St.Lawrence.”
This reveals me as a non-practicing French-IrishCatholic.Until I read the clip-ping, I thought that the St.Lawrence was a mighty riv-er serving as (a) a route forChamplain, who by the wayis a subject for a new andmuch-revealing book, andbelieve me, I’ve read every-thing on Champlain, and (b)an obstacle between me anda thousand miles north,which was (and is) Labrador.
Meteor showers happenwhen the Earth’s orbit inter-sects with debris fromcomets. The sparks we seeare the comets’ dust enteringour atmosphere. They areshot-lived, but fun to see inthe black of the night.
Ah, there is the rub, notthe rub of your knuckles onyour eyes upon awakening,but the rub on the notion ofblackness of the night sky.We are losing it.
Nancee and I sometimesforget how blessed we arewith the blackness of thenight. We can go out and putsleeping bags on the rooftopdeck on the ell off our bed-room and recline thereon togaze up on heavens blacksave for the moon and thestars. From that vantagepoint, not a light is visiblewhen we turn our lights off(as they are turned off everynight).
Okay, satellites and spacedebris and the space stationand the occasional Loring-Plattsburg military jetsshow up. That’s a given, andin the case of the Air Force,a decided welcome.
Do we have night-lightsand spot lights? Sure---wehave farm machinery andanimals and all else that goes
with rural life,and view lightas a handy thing---but on ne-cessity. Our outdoor lightsare motion-activated (greatfor lugging groceries or fire-wood), and if we need them
for a repair job or something,there’s a switch. Otherwise,they’re off.
We have visitors fromdown below the notches(sometimes far below thenotches) who marvel at theblackness of our night skyand bemoan the loss of their
own. Not until shades onstreet-lamps and industriallighting are installed to di-rect light downward whereit’s most useful and efficientwill Urban America ever getback its night.
Most of the editors of thiscolumn, who shepherd it in-
to the dozen papers of theMeredith-based SalmonPress group that run it, wantme to do my best to accom-pany the column by a photo-graph. But in this case, Icould think of nothing, ex-cept a rooftop deck awaitingsleeping bags and a clear
night of nothingness.This reminds me of the
line from Stanley Kubric’s“2001,” which goes some-thing like “My God, it’s full ofstars!”

Teen makes first solo at Laconia AirportWhen 17-year-old Jessica
Palmer returns to school as asenior at Belmont HighSchool this year, she willhave quite the tale to tell ofhow she spent her summervacation.
Palmer is a student pilotat Emerson Aviation locatedat Laconia Airport in Gil-ford. She recently made herfirst solo flight, a major steptoward earning her privatepilot’s license.
The desire to learn to flyruns in the family. Her fa-ther, Peter, is also taking les-sons and both father anddaughter have wanted to takeflying lessons for some time.
“Taking flying lessonswas my idea,” she said.“Then, my father and I de-cided to take lessons at thesame time because we
thought it would be evenmore fun learning together.”
Her mother, Kathleen, andyounger brother, Angelo,were on hand to show theirsupport and to watch theflight. Angelo brought alonghis video camera and wasable to capture his sister’sflight on tape. Her first solowas picture perfect.
“I was a little nervousabout being alone in theplane at first,” she said of herflight. “After I got over that, Iwas really excited about it.”
The Palmers are studentsof John Anderson, a residentof Gilford and a certifiedflight instructor for morethan 22 years. Anderson in-structs at Emerson Aviation,but began instructing stu-dent pilots at Robertson Air-port in Plainville, Conn.
In describing Palmer’sfirst solo, he said, “Jessicawas more than ready to flywithout me, but on that par-ticular morning there was alittle haze, which made thevisibility too low for a stu-dent solo. So, we worked to-gether on landings for awhile, the haze burned off,and then she was able to so-lo. She did a great job, too.
“I’ve been instructing fora long time, and it’s still al-ways a thrill for me to see astudent solo for the first time.They are so excited abouttheir accomplishment, and Ialways enjoy sharing thatsense of achievement a stu-dent pilot feels after flying aplane all on their own for thevery first time,” he added.

A stroll through Waukewan Highlands Community ParkWALK THIS WAY
By Donna Rhodes [email protected] ■
MEREDITH — A few yearsago I read about a place off Pa-rade Road in Meredith that Iimmediately put on my list ofplaces to walk. It was abouttime I crossed that one off thelist, and so on a hot summerday this week I went out insearch of some cool respite inthe woods.
My neighbor and little bud-dy Erin accompanied me onthis trek. Erin is only 7 butshe's a seasoned hiker, oftenaccompanying me to exploreareas around our town. She'sa nature lover, and we've ex-plored woodlands and brooksalike, examining rock forma-tions, trees, flowers and birdsor tracking deer, bear, mooseand fox. She was the perfectcompanion for my next walk-ing adventure.Our destina-tion was Waukewan Commu-nity Highlands Forest, a beau-tiful 190-acre oasis of woodedtrails not far from the bustleof Route 3 in Meredith. A
kiosk just off the Parade Roadparking lot offered maps thatincluded a nicely written in-terpretive piece to explainsites along the way. Under thecare of the Meredith Parksand Recreation Department,trails are well-marked andwell-defined as you wanderbeneath thick canopies ofpine or through the hardwoodforests.
Walking the silence of apine carpeted woodland, Erinwas anxious to explore na-ture. We stopped and exam-ined some Indian Pipe pop-ping up beside the trail, aswell as other low lying wood-land flowers and fungi. Wehad chosen the White Trail(aka "Jan's Pond Way"), andthe walking was relatively lev-el and easy as long as we keptan eye out for the thick rootsystems of the pines thatcropped up in the trail. Aftera short distance a woodenwalkway lead us over a not-so-
wet-right-now wetland. Theguide explained the impor-tance of the flora here, whichhelp shelter young wildlifeand offer bedding for migrat-ing birds. The plant life herealso filters water flowing intoHarts Pond, it read, and pre-vents flooding in the rainiermonths by absorbing therunoff waters.
We then burst into the sun-shine and out onto an old dirtroad, which brought us toHart's Pond. Still, clear waterspread out before us, reflect-ing the early morning sky likea mirror. Tucked into a wood-ed little valley, it was peaceful,silent and oh, so relaxing.There was a picnic table thatmade for a great break on ourwalk, so we sat enjoyed themusic of the birds and occa-sional "croak" of a frog acrossthe water. My son had alsohiked this park recently andspoke of numerous tadpolesswimming in the pond. Evi-dently Erin and I were a bittoo late for tadpoles but we didspy a darting young fish ortwo to satisfy her curiosity ofpond ecology a bit.We also gotto watch the dance of the
dragonflies as they skimmedacross the pond's surface andfeasted on bugs. The sun wasgrowing hot, though, andsoon it was time to rejoin thecoolness of the forest.
From Hart's Pond it was acoin toss as to which way wewould hike. I really hate tobacktrack, so the White Trailwe entered on was not an op-tion now. Yellow Trail forkedoff to the right to meanderthrough field and forest be-fore offering up an advertisedview of Lake Waukewan thatI would have really enjoyed.But with temperatures soar-ing, it was not a day for a lotof the great exercise the Yel-low Trail offered. Blue Trailclimbs a bit of an elevationthat I frowned upon on a hotday with a youngster along,so it was the Red Trail for Erinand I, circling the pond andheading into the cooler decid-uous forest.
Freshly mown grass alongthe shore was already sprout-ing with Queen Ann's Lace,Clover, Black-eyed Susan andother wild flowers, creating abeautiful pastoral scene. Inmy mind’s eye I envisioned asmall cottage tucked there on

the edge of pond and forest inearlier days of Meredith. Idon't in fact know that oneever existed there in that field,but I know I would have lovedto have lived in such a prettyspot!
Moving on into the shadeErin spent a few more mo-ments poking in the water ofthe pond, hoping to see somesmall aquatic life. She wassoon convinced the ponddwellers had moved into cool-er depths or under shelteringrocks to avoid the noondayheat, so off we went oncemore.The trail maps provid-ed by Meredith Parks and Recare actually some of the bestI have found, with topograph-ical markings that depict theelevation and steepness of atrail. In fact, before startingout on any trails, those morehesitant about elevation butunfamiliar with the signifi-cance of contour lines wouldbe well-advised to read num-ber 13 on the interpretativesection of the guide. Thereyou will learn how to read themap and understand whichareas of the park have steep-er climbs along the trails.
Red Trail does cover someslight elevation but is by nomeans a mountain hike. Slowand steady would be my ad-vice.It is doable and really nothard to climb but good shoesand careful crossing along therock built check dams are rec-ommended for beginningwalkers. In fact, this trailmight be simpler to maneu-ver if used as the starting trailto the pond where it would bemostly a downhill climb.From there walkers could re-turn on the much flatterWhite Trail, reversing theroute Erin and I set out on lastweekend. The trek was wellworth it, filled with chatter-ing squirrels, colorful song-birds and an abundance ofpeace. History surroundsyou, and the guide explainshow this once was an appleorchard. Some of the old ap-ple trees can still be foundtucked away in corners of thewoods. Forest and wildlifemanagement practices keepthe area viable and produc-tive,all while still allowing forsome of the finest low-impactrecreation in the Lakes Re-gion.
If you're looking for a niceplace to get away from it allfor a short while, follow Pa-rade Road out of Meredithand look for the sign toWaukewan Highlands Com-munity Park. It will be on theright, directly across fromWinton Road. I'm headingback soon with a plan alreadyin place for my next walk-White Trail to the YellowTrail with a picnic lunch andGrover, my faithful caninehiking partner. He's going tolove this place as much as I

sient population of businessowners here," he told the se-lectmen. "Is there going to bea time when you say, ‘Sorry-all the parking permits for theyear are given out?’ And whatabout tenants with out oftown guests? Where will theypark? If we don't have happyrenters then that concernsus."
The selectmen acknowl-edged that out-of-town guestsof tenants had not been con-sidered and thanked him forbringing the issue up. Passesthey felt would not be over-sold as proof of residencywould cancel out the priorpass for the same address.Residents would have to bringa letter of tenancy or a utilitybill to get their permit.
Disabled residents andmerchants were also dis-cussed. DeForge, disabledhimself, told them that walk-ing even 100 feet at times is astruggle for him. Downtownparking currently has littlehandicap spaces and resi-dents having to use somewhatmore remote parking couldencounter difficulties in us-ing off-site parking lots.
The board heard severalsuggestions to increase thenumber of handicap lots inthe vicinity, including addingtwo in the parking lot besidethe Tilton House of Pizza andone on each end of MainStreet itself. There is also ahandicap parking spot in thetown's School Street parkinglot capable of handling ahandicap van,which requiresmore space to unload passen-gers.
Hairdressers and barberswere in attendance with theirown particular concerns.Marion Abbott said that hersalon services require cus-tomers to leave their cars forlonger than the allotted twohour parking limit. SherryLebreche of the barber shopspoke up to emphasize manyof her clientele are handi-capped and would need con-sideration as well.
Handicapped cars,display-ing the proper sign-age wouldhave no limit on their parkingtimes in the downtown park-ing spaces, Paratore ex-plained. Besides this consid-eration, the municipal lot be-side the pizzeria would allowfor three hour parking.
Lebreche also stated thatrecently she has noted a bigdifference in the parking sit-uation and thanked the TiltonPolice Department for step-ping up their patrols in thearea and ticketing abusers.Merek Weisensee of theTilton PD said the ExplorerProgram had been patrollingthe area and handling down-town ticketing. In doing sothey have tried to be mindfulof those who deserved specialconsideration for physical ail-ments or extended appoint-ments in the salons and bar-
bershops on Main Street, hesaid.
Questions were also posedon how to handle deliverytrucks, multi-car families andother miscellaneous situa-tions that could occur, such aslong-tem illness of a tenantand unregistered vehicles. Itwas noted that many down-town tenants do not own ve-hicles and delivery truckswould be allowed time to un-load for the local businessesas usual.
Scott Davis, concerned likeDeForge over administrativesnags in juggling tenant park-ing for those moving in andout of the area, suggested that
property owners handle thepermits for their tenants, free-ing up town employees fromtracking them. Accountabili-ty then came into question,discussing methods to keep abuilding owner from runninga "Ponzi scheme" by sellingpasses for more than the townwould charge. Many propertyowners,pointed out merchantKim Chadwick, are absenteelandlords and questioned howthey would handle parkingpasses if they were left to theircontrol. The board said itwould further investigatethese issues.
Merchant Elaine DeMellosaid her business employs on-
ly three people, none of whomare on duty at the same time.Instead of purchasing stick-ers for vehicles, she suggestedthat placards be sold instead,to be hung from rearview mir-rors. These placards could bereused and save the town fromtracking their possession.Employees could swap thembetween their vehicles as theyarrived at work.
Jim Clements, headmasterof Tilton School, said he had“a high level of support" forthe town’s efforts to changethe parking situation.
"When we agree on a broad-based goal like that though,we have to accept that it's go-
ing to be imperfect,”he added.Resident Carol Stone
thanked the selectmen andthe Main Street Program foraddressing the situation.
"I can't shop downtown be-cause I can't find a space formy car," she said. "Bravo fordoing something about it!"
Paratore said later that hehad been watching the down-town parking for some timenow and counted up to 30 carson the street in the earlymorning hours, long beforebusinesses opened. Freeingup those spaces by movingtenants to off-street parkinglots would be a big boon tomerchants. There are 54apartments in the vicinity,many of them still vacant.Not all residents in theseapartments have vehiclesand, should parking spots for
residents and merchants be-come an issue, the townwould consider using othermunicipally owned lots alongthe downtown sector to ac-commodate the growth.
"Right now I am more con-cerned with cars, not howmany apartments there are,"said Paratore. "If we find ourparking is exhausted early,then we'll do something aboutit."
The total parking proposalis being prepared for presen-tation to voters in March, butmoving merchants and ten-ants into available parkingcurrently owned by the towncould begin sooner once thespecifics are finalized. Stick-ers would be available on ayearly basis from April toApril of each year.

for some funding."It doesn't matter though,"
said Clutters. "I'm so dedicat-ed to this project that I wouldput all of my money into it."
Fellow resident and dogowner Donna Cilley spokeout against the proposedpark. She called the concept agreat dream of Clutters, butthe reality of it is the parkwould be taking taxable landoff the books, which madeher very concerned. Social-ization with pets in Belmontis really not an issue, she stat-ed, as people are out walkingtheir dogs through the Vil-lage every day. Belmont, she
said, is a rural town. Man-chester and other largercities may have a need forsuch a park but Belmont, shefelt, did not need to buildsomething that may one dayend up as an empty fenced-inparcel of town-owned land nolonger in use.
Cormier finally referredClutters to the ConservationCommission if she insistedon having the park in Bel-mont.
"They have land that I'veasked they use for recre-ational purposes," Cormiersaid. "Maybe they have apiece of land you might beable to use."
It could not, he stressed,be in a residential or ruralsetting and further suggest-ed she look at land in com-mercial and industrial zonesalong Routes 106 and 140. Ifshe could return with a spe-cific tax map lot number fora parcel that the board ap-proved of she could thenpresent a warrant article forthe park to be on town landnext March.
"You would have to write aspecific statement though,"Cormier instructed her. "Thearticle would have to have thelot number and everythingin it. Then we'll let the votersdecide."

Thousands of gallons of hazardous waste safely removedLAKES REGION —
Dozens of volunteers andmunicipal staff gathered re-cently at eight different sitesacross the Lakes Region toassist with the safe collectionof household hazardouswaste.
One thousand five hun-dred fifty-eight Lakes Regionresidents disposed of morethan 17,000 gallons of wastes,ensuring that these toxic ma-terials will not enter ourgroundwater or soils. Morethan 35 tons of hazardousmaterials and more than28,000 feet of fluorescentbulbs from local homes,garages, and sheds were
properly disposed.With the help of nearly
twenty local and eight site co-ordinators along with manyvolunteers and municipalstaff, Lakes Region residentshad the opportunity to dis-pose of oil-based paints, pes-ticides, fertilizers, poolchemicals, old gas, and othertoxic wastes from theirhouseholds. Despite someearly crowds traffic movedsmoothly at most locations.
One participant wrote,“Last week … I cleaned out awhole bunch of rusted oldpaint cans and stuff out ofthe cellar. We took it toMeredith for the Hazardous
Waste collection day. I wasdreading the lines and thehassle. Boy, was I very pleas-antly surprised. It could nothave been any more organ-ized and so simple. In and outin under five minutes.”
These annual collectionsare funded by local commu-nities and the NH Depart-ment of Environmental Ser-vices and coordinated by theLakes Region Planning Com-mission.
This was also the secondyear of an Unwanted Med-ications Collection spon-sored by the Gilford PoliceDepartment and School Dis-trict. Located in Gilford, itwas open to all residents andhomeowners in the partici-pating Lakes Region commu-nities.

Sugarland makes up for cancelled show at Meadowbrook BY ELIZABETH DOYONSTAFF INTERN
“It wasn’t cancelled,right?” joked Jean Hall ofTyngsboro, Mass. The Mead-owbrook US Cellular Pavil-lion was packed Friday for along awaited Sugarland con-cert. It was the only sold-outshow at Meadowbrook thisyear, partly due to the showbeing cancelled last summer.
The ticket gate was hecticwith people trying to get in,and there were numerouscases of fake tickets. Onefamily drove four hours onlyto find that they had not pur-chased real tickets. They hadbought them this summeronly to find out that ticketshave not been on sale sincelast year.
“I actually drove all theway up here because I didn’tget the email,” said Jon For-saith of Nashua. “I am justglad the concert is actuallyhappening.”
The concert opener, MattNathanson from Lexington,Mass., spent summers in Gil-ford and grew up going to theLakes Region.
He brought laughs andsmiles to the crowd as hejoked about how no onewanted to see him and theywere there only for Sugar-land. Nathanson playedsome songs from the 80’s in-cluding Rick Spingfield’s“Jessie’s Girl” because it in-spired the chord changes ofhis own song called“Princess.”
“I really liked that hemixed his song’s with somewell known 80’s songs. It wasfun and just about hit theright age group at this con-cert,” said Jean Hall fromTyngsboro, Mass.
Nathanson closed withhis hit “Come On Get High-er” that he joked was abouteating ice cream.
When the long awaitedduo made it to stage thePavillion crowd was ready.The choreographed en-trance started with the mu-sicians walking onto stagewith lit up umbrellas, withKristian Bush playing gui-tar and Jennifer Nettles belt-ing “It’s Love.”
After singing “It Hap-pens” off of their third al-bum, Sugarland signed a gui-tar onstage, then walked in-to the audience to give itaway.
“I love the interaction andconnection between themand the connection theymake with their fans,” saidPattie Forsaith, “and howthey sing about real thingsand real life.”
April Leonard of Merri-mack bought tickets lastsummer for her husband.
“He loves Sugarland, andmostly believes that JenniferNettles is hot,” she laughed.“But Sugarland has becomeso much more popular sincewe bought the tickets that wegot a great deal.”
Lanterns came downfrom the stage as Sugarlandplayed their first hit “BabyGirl,” and the lighters cameout for “Stay.” The duo alsoplayed “Already Gone,” “All IWant To Do,” and theirnewest single, “Joey.”
Nettles and Bush talkedabout how each band mem-ber spent the day in theLakes Region, and Nettleslaughed as she pronouncedLake Winnipesaukee. Theduo danced across stage andinteracted with the crowd.Nettles even wished a girlhappy birthday because shehad a sign announcing it.
After remixing “GettingHot In Here” by Nelly withtheir song ”Everyday Amer-ica,” Nettles showed her skillon piano when introducing
the song “So Long.” Shestuck her tongue out at thecrowd because the songlaughs at the people whothought she wouldn’t makeit as a singer.
Sugarland closed withtheir own version of “Walk-ing on Sunshine” which gotthe whole Pavillion on theirfeet for a standing ovation.
Said Jean Hall, “It was aninfinitely better concertthan we had hoped for whenwe bought the tickets a yearago. They are so great live.”

Baiocchetti stated that col-lisions such as this are "un-necessary and unfortunate"and could be avoided if youngbicyclists exercised more cau-tion when riding."A lot of kidsare out here riding aroundlike they own the road," Baioc-chetti said. "There are peoplecoming here (Fuller Street) toattend meetings at the Corner
Meeting House or have busi-ness at the police station.They (the bike riders) need tobe careful, but they aren't."
The chief would like to re-mind these young cyclists ofsome of the rules of the road.Most important is the fact thathelmets are mandated by lawin this state. Baiocchetti saidsome children don't think it isalways "cool" to wear a hel-met, but wearing one couldvery well give them the op-
portunity to be cool later onwhen it prevents a serious in-jury. Bicyclists also need to re-main aware of their sur-roundings as they ride and re-member not to ride in thestreets, Baiocchetti said.Weaving in and out of parkedcars, darting out from be-tween houses or off sidestreets is a dangerous prac-tice.Drivers aren't always ableto see a rider emerge fromblind spots like those in time
to stop. Riding in public park-ing lots such as the Town Li-brary, the nearby Catholicchurch or the municipal lotbetween the police stationand the Corner MeetingHouse is not permitted andcan also put bicyclists in jeop-ardy. Baiocchetti said he real-izes some boys and girls liketo try out new "tricks" withtheir bikes, but public streetsand parking lots are not theplace to do that.
"Kids are going to do stuffon their bikes," he acknowl-edged, "but they need to dothat in their yards where theyhave a little more control.They need to make sure theirsurroundings are safe ratherthan tempting fate. Fate isn'talways kind."
Fuller Street in particular,he said, can be busy on meet-ing nights,and the police havereceived complaints in thepast about bicycle conductaround the parking lot. Near-by Sargent Park attractsmany kids, but Baiocchettisaid these youngsters need tobe aware of the motor vehicletraffic in the area as they trav-el to and from the park. Theissues have improved but ac-cidents such as this, he said,serve as a reminder of whatcan happen when bike ridersget careless.
"We (the police) don't wantto be the bad guys," he said,"but we want to be carefulabout their safety."

were done, she penciled in thedetails freehand.
“Obviously I must like thedetails,” Fogg said of her in-tricate penwork. “That prob-ably comes from the fact thatI have a math degree.”
Dubbed “special places”products, Fogg’s artwork firstwent on sale at Belmont’s OldHome Day two weeks ago.
“We were pleased (withsales),” Fogg said. “(Cus-tomers) liked how they weredone and the style. They rec-ognized the places.”
Even if lookers didn’t buy,the society was happy to havepeople stop by and chat.
“While the intent is to raisefunding, we also hope to raiseawareness (of what the socie-ty does),” Fogg said.
Helping with the projectwas Town Historian andfounding member of the His-torical Society Wallace
Rhodes, who verified the his-torical facts printed on the art-work. On the back of theProvince Road Meeting Housenote card, for example, it saysthat the building was con-structed in 1792 “to serve thegrowing but scattered popula-tion in the northern and west-ern part of the old town ofGilmanton.”
According to the brief syn-opsis on the back of the Bel-mont Town Bandstand notecard, the bandstand’s closeproximity to the Mill and nearthe passenger depot of theTilton and Belmont Railroad“placed the Bandstand at theindustrial and commercial fo-cal point at a time when thecommunity had achieved its
greatest economical prosperi-ty.”
An eight-pack of cards,with two of each of the fourprints, is $10, while a four-pack is $6. Recipe cards are $4for eight. Framed four-printpictures are $10 and two-printpictures are $6.
Cards may be purchased atCarignan Watch Company on
Main Street in Belmont Vil-lage and will also be availableat the Bandstand’s centennialcelebration in October. Any-one interested in learningmore about the note andrecipe cards, or the BelmontHistorical Society, can visitwww.historicalsocietiesnh.org/belmont.

Where are the keys to this canoe
In college I had the privi-lege of backpacking throughEurope one summer, and onone particular day I found my-self trudging down a long,straight, deserted road in theIrish countryside with miles(or kilometers) to go to mydestination.
There is something aboutseeing a long road stretchingout in front of you that canmake the journey seem somuch longer. In my nativeNew England there is not aroad to be found anywherethat you can see more than afew hundred feet in front ofyou before it bends around acorner. But on this particularIrish day I could see the curveof the Earth before me, and Iwished I had a bike to ride.
But then I had a revelation.How many times have I beenon a long bike trip and wishedafter a few miles that I had acar to drive And then Ithought of how many times Ihave been on a long, odiouscar trip when I wished that Icould have taken a plane in-stead. Then it occurred to methat I had been on some ex-tremely long flights before,(Miami to Moscow with abrief pit stop in England) andin the middle of that flight Iwished that there really were“Star Trek”-like "teleporta-tion" opportunities available.One minute you're standingin your living room and thenext, bam, you're in Morocco.
It was this chain ofthought that brought a smileto my face and a little hop inmy step as I trucked alongthat country road with re-newed energy, for I realizedthat there is always a way tobe unsatisfied, and if there is-n't a way then I'll invent one.
I was reminded of that dayin Ireland recently as my fa-ther-in-law Charlie (or "Pop"as he is known to my chil-dren) and I took out a canoe
for a brief outing a few weeksago. On our trip out across apond we had a sharp wind toour backs, which helped tospeed us along our way.?It'sfunny that I silently cursedthat same wind on our returntrip to the camp. Charlie andI lowered our heads and dugin deep with our paddles,inching along toward thedock. As we crept along wecaught site of a motor boatmerrily chugging its wayalone in the same wind wewere fighting, oblivious to iton account of the outboardmotor that gave the boat itsgreat forward momentum.
I think that Charlie and Ihad the same basic thought inthis moment, "man, I wishthis canoe had keys!" It’s iron-ic, isn't it, that though on agreat outdoor adventure, themoment a little adversitystruck I immediately wishedfor a bigger, better method toease my way.
Now, I don't want to be toohard on myself,but how manysimple joys in life, like a longwalk or brisk canoe trip, do Imiss by wishing to be some-where else when the goinggets tough Is it possible thatthe thousands of hours of ad-vertising that I have absorbedover my 32 years have affect-ed how I process the simplejoys and adversities of life?Can there be joy in the jour-ney, even when the road islong and the wind strong?Should I automatically wishfor something with more pow-er and rpm's I think I knowthe answer. Now where did Iput those paddles?

BELMONT — Twelveyears and 21 merit badgeslater, Jacob Biggs hasearned the highest rank ofScouting: the Eagle.
Jacob originally pro-posed to fix the town gazeboand work there for his proj-ect but the proposal was notaccepted. Belmont’s chair-man of Cemetery Trustees,Diane Marden, was also atthe meeting where Jacobmade his proposal.
“Diane Marden told meabout the project,” he said,“and what I could do for thetown.”
Jacob organized the con-struction of signs for 15cemeteries in Belmont. Hewas allowed four days forthe project, to make thepoles, to paint, to move, andto put the signs in theground.
As part of the project, theScout must find volunteers;this is something Jacob did-n’t have any trouble with ashe had over 40 volunteers inthe span of his four work-ing days.
The community has no-ticed the signs and the ef-fects of Jacob’s eagle proj-ect. “People say: I never no-ticed there was a cemeterythere before,” said DianeBiggs, Jacob’s mom.
Jacob is an active mem-ber in the community and
the school. He participatesin cross-country, indoortrack, and outdoor track,making him a three-seasonathlete. He is also the treas-urer of the Student Counciland a member of the Span-ish Club.
“Boy Scouts are more ac-tive outside of Scouts thankids who aren’t (in Scout-ing),” explained Diane Big-gs, who first got Jacob in-volved in Scouting andjoked, “I figured keepinghim busy would keep himout of trouble.”
Diane Biggs is a denleader and has been one ofJacob’s biggest motivatorsthroughout his Eagle Pro-ject, he said. Another moti-vator was Jacob’s advance-ment advisor, Mr. Bartlett.
“He had been through acouple Eagles, and we weregood friends,” said Jacob.
Now that he’s completedhis Eagle project, Jacob willcontinue on as an adultleader in his troop.
“I help encourage theyounger boys,” he said, “Ilike working with theyounger boys and going outcamping with them, teach-ing them the skills that Ilearned, teaching the nextgeneration.” One of Jacob’sgreatest experiences as aScout happened in 2007, bychance. Looking up some-thing on the Scouting Website, he stumbled upon a
link for the World Jamboreeand clicked on it. That year,the World Jamboree washosted in Hyde Park in Lon-don.
“I ended up filling out theapplication and completingeverything for it,” said Ja-cob.
He had two phone inter-views before getting accept-ed to attend. Jacob raisedthe money for his trip andspent two weeks camping inLondon. There were around482,000 Scouts who attend-ed, representing 158 coun-tries, and the United Statessent just 4,000 Scouts.
“I got to see the way dif-ferent cultures are … I havealways wanted to travel,” hesaid, adding that he hopesto go to the National BoyScout Jamboree in 2010 as aleader. “Since I have the ex-perience of going to theWorld Jamboree, I can leadthe younger kids because I
know how they are feeling.”Perhaps Jacob’s success
and drive to reach theachievement of Eagle Scoutcould have been observedwhen he was in first gradeon his first hike-a-thon. Athis age, the Cub Scoutswould normally just walkpart of it, but Jacob pushedhimself all the way to theend of the 10-mile hike. “Hewas one of the first TigerCubs to ever walk the wholehike-a-thon,” said his moth-er. Jacob attributes his suc-cess to his troop leaders, hismother, and everyone whohelped him along the way.In his troop, there have beenseven Eagles in the past sixyears, making it one of themost successful troops inthe area.
“It feels like yesterdaythat I was one of theyounger boys in the group,”Jacob said. “I can’t believe Iam finally here.”

Yo ho ho and a whole lot of fun on stageSanbornton Rec camp ends with theater performance
BY DONNA RHODES
SANBORNTON — Fami-ly members of the Sanborn-ton Recreation Summer Daycampers gathered at San-bornton Central School Fri-day night for a season-end-ing performance of "Peggythe Pint Sized Pirate."
More than 20 kids from thecamp built the sets, acted inthe play and even made thebrownies, cookies and fruitsalad served after the show.Under the leadership of 32-year veteran Camp DirectorDolly Elliott, they painted,decorated and rehearsed forsix days over the final twoweeks of camp, in betweenfield trips and other activi-ties they had scheduled.
The audience watched asPeggy, portrayed by Wood,made her plea to become a pi-rate and get a real piratename. "Scummy," played byChris DeBaise, explained shewas already nicknamed"Peggy the Pint Sized Pirate"because of her small size.
That size unfortunatelykept Peggy from being cho-
sen for a pirate ship by Cap-tain Sludge (MackenzieFrench) or Captain Soggy(Courtney Smith) who lefther crying at the docks. Soonafter the pirate ships set sail,however, they were capturedby a mean Sea Monster andher children (Isabella Mc-Donald and Allyson Lloyd).Peggy, hearing the news, de-cided it was up to her to res-cue the pirates and she andScummy set sail in search ofthem. She was surprisedwhen she later learned theSea Monster wasn't really allthat mean- she had merelywanted the pirates, longknown for throwing trash inthe sea, to clean up theirmess. After Peggy's promisethat they would never pollutethe sea again, the pirateswere all released and Peggybecame one of them at lastfor her heroism.
Flowers and a heartfeltthank you to Recreation Di-rector Julie Lonergan, coun-selors Sara Smith, LindsayLangan and Deb Smith anddirector Dolly Elliott
brought a summer filledwith fun to a close for thecampers. They had enjoyedtrips to Wellington and Ella-coya State Beaches, PolarCaves, Squam Lakes ScienceCenter and Not So PlainJane's for ice cream. Theyhad theme weeks for scienceadventures, cooking, camp-ing activities and Space Ad-ventures, along with TheaterWeek.
Elliott thanked all the par-ents for what she called oneof the best groups of chil-dren she had the privilege ofworking with in her manyyears with the recreation de-partment's summer camp.
"We've had a fantasticsummer," Elliott told the au-dience. "I have really enjoyedthese kids. They always did
whatever they were told andit's been a lot of fun."
Other participants in theplay were Olivia Robillard(Sue the Smelly), Emily Day
(Grunt), and pirates Jackieand Jon Beaulieu, Alannahand Brady Ellsworth, CooperFrench, Nicholas Green,Melissa Goupil, Emily
Maguire, Brandyn Mock,Philip Nichols, Taylor Nute,Hannah and Noah Pearson,Carter Smith and WilliamWood.

Don’t miss this opportunity, the offer is total-ly FREE and there is no obligation. Hearingloss is the third most common problem inAmerica. 31.5 million Americans have hear-ing loss. This number is projected to increaseto 78 million within 10 years. 1 in 3 peopleover 60 years of age suffer from hearing loss.Less than 10% receive help. Why is this?
The factors that contribute to why hearingaids are not worn more are
Hearing Aids:1) Are not covered by Medicare or most
insurance2) Add to the stigma of getting older3) Are not comfortable4) Are not cosmetically appealing5) Do not sound natural6) Do not work well in noise where most
people have problems.
Hearing Enhancement Centers is conductingan important field study on a new model ofan open ear hearing aid. It is smaller andmore comfortable than traditional hearingaids.
We are seeking people with hearing loss toparticipate in this study. Both current hearingaids users and nonusers are needed.
Participants will have 30 days to evaluate thisnew hearing aid risk free. All lab and testingservices are performed at no charge. At theend of the initial trial period, participantsmay return the aids or be allowed to purchasethem at a highly discounted price.
Study Purpose:It is the intent of this study to prove:A) The new Open-Fit style earing aid drasti-
cally reduces, if not virtually eliminatesthe factors cited above as the reasons whyhearing aids are not more readily worn bythe general population.
B) If patients were allowed to take home thenew Open-Fit hearing instruments for a30 day trial period without concern forcost, penalty or purchase pressure, morepatients would realize the benefits ofhearing aids in their own environmentand choose to correct or improve theirhearing loss.
Lend Us Your Ears!STUDY LETS PATIENTS TRY HEARING AIDS FOR FREE
