New retail building proposed at Homestead Place BY BRENDAN BERUBE Staff Writer ALTON — Representatives for Homestead Place owner Bob Bahre appeared before the planning board last week seeking approval to alter the original site plan by replacing a proposed 3,500-square-foot restau- rant with a 10,000-square-foot retail space. Surveyor Mark Sargent (who came before the board along with site plan designer Tim Goldy and environmental engineer Cindy Bal- cius) explained that Bahre has not had any luck securing tenants in the dining field, and recently decided to change direction and pursue retail tenants interested in setting up shop on the “pad-out” beside Hannaford. Walking the board through the highlights of the project narrative, Goldy explained that the proposed retail building would be accessed via the main driveway connecting Homestead Place with the Han- naford parking lot. The preliminary site plan, he said, shows a total of 36 parking spaces (more than required under the town’s zoning ordinance) posi- tioned at 70-degree angles, with the parking lot itself situated in a count- er-clockwise position, creating a one-way flow of traffic. The design team felt, he said, that a one-way traffic pattern would help to minimize impacts and pro- vide safe and efficient access for vehicles because the aisles would be relatively narrow.

BY BRENDAN BERUBE Staff Writer ALTON — The policies and regulations governing farmers’ markets came un- der fire during Monday night’s meeting of the board of selectmen from residents who accused the board of fa- voring local business owners at their expense. The heated discussion centered on the board’s deci- sion that a group of residents attempting to organize a farmers’ market on Saturday mornings at the Community Church of Alton must pro- vide the town with proof of insurance in the event of an injury occurring on the near- by street or sidewalk; secure written permission from the property owner; and acquire all necessary state licenses for the sale of meats, baked goods, and other prepared foods in order for the board to grant them a hawkers and vendors permit. Objecting to the stipula- tions the board placed on the organizers of the farmers’ market, and claiming that a vendor from out-of-town was permitted to set up a season- al produce stand at the bay earlier this summer under the pretense of establishing a farmers’ market, Steve Bell, owner of Precious Gar- dens, asked the board during Monday night’s public input session to provide him with the town’s definition of a farmers’ market. Stating that he saw no clear definition anywhere in the hawkers and vendors permitting policy given to him by Town Administrator Russell Bailey, Bell com- mented that he was involved in a farmers’ market at the bay in 2005 where vendors were allowed to sell meats, baked goods, and flowers without licenses from the state. “When did the policy change?” he asked. Board Vice Chair Peter Bolster replied that town of- ficials probably failed to take notice in 2005 of the fact that vendors were not licensed to sell prepared foods. Addressing another issue that arose during the discus- sion, town regulations bar- ring vendors at the bay from selling baked goods or other items that might give them an edge over nearby busi- nesses like Amilyne’s Cor- ner Market, Selectman Pat Fuller explained that the board has had a policy in place since she first joined it to prevent vendors who are given free space on town- owned property from com- peting with taxpaying busi- nesses. Echoing Fuller’s com- ments, Bolster added that if the selectmen are giving a vendor free space, he felt they had every right to place stip- ulations on what that vendor can sell. He also noted for Bell’s Residents question farmers’ market policy in Alton Prospect Mountain board discusses wind energy throughout New England have begun looking at wind power as a way to reduce electricity costs, Iovanni said, explaining that wind turbines offer a “pretty sub- stantial benefit” to both the school and the local commu- nity by generating electrici- ty that school districts can sell back to utility compa- nies in exchange for lower rates. Noting that WRE recently completed projects in New- buryport and Medford, Mass. and Portsmouth, R.I., Iovan- ni informed the board that within three months of its ac- tivation, the Portsmouth tur- bine saved the local school district roughly $70,000 on electricity. The process of setting up a turbine, he said, can be bro- ken down into five segments, or phases. The first phase, a Pre-Fea- sibility Study,begins with an analysis of what Iovanni called “fatal flaws,” such as restrictive zoning ordi- nances, that might prohibit the construction of a turbine from the outset. During that initial phase, he said, WRE would also help district officials select an ap- propriate turbine design and identify any available state or federal grant funding. The good news, he added, is that there is a “ton of mon- ey” available in New Hamp- shire for alternative energy projects. The second and longest phase of the process, if vot- ers agreed to fund the proj- ect after seeing the initial proposal, would involve six months to a year of data collection in areas ranging from environmental impact to local wind patterns and velocity.

NEW DURHAM — ANew Durham man arrestedin June for allegedly solicit-ing sexual favors from a 14-year-old online was releasedon bail last week followinghis arraignment atPortsmouth District Court.
Judge Sawako Gardner or-dered 22-year-old Christo-pher Wuelper set free on
$25,000 personal recogni-zance while he awaits trialon a felony charge of prohib-ited use of a computer andtwo misdemeanor counts ofendangering the welfare of aminor and attempted inter-ference with custody.
Wuelper was arrested bypolice in Portsmouth on June24 after arriving for what heallegedly expected to be anintimate rendezvous with a
14-year-old girl on IslingtonStreet.
The charge of interfer-ence with custody stemsfrom his attempt to flee thescene in his vehicle after de-tecting the presence of au-thorities.
The sting operation wasset up as part of what policehave described as a child en-ticement investigation by theNew Hampshire InternetCrime Against ChildrenTask Force.
Portsmouth Det. Kristyn
Internet sting suspect released on bailRogers-Bernier (wife of NewDurham Police Chief ShawnBernier) headed the investi-gation, with assistance fromNew Durham’s Police De-partment.
Police claim that Wuelpersent an explicitly-worded in-vitation to a detective who hethought was a 14-year-old fe-male through an online mes-saging service encouragingthe fictitious teen to sneakout of her house and meethim for a sexual encounter.
As a condition of his bail,Gardner declared thatWuelper will be subject torandom screenings of hisuse of computers and otherelectronic devices.
Wuelper is scheduled toreturn to Portsmouth Dis-trict Court for a probablecause hearing on Aug. 10.

might be to have a secondtime for public input at theend of the meeting. Byadding another public input,residents could give feed-back on what occurred dur-ing the meeting.
Chairman Dave Kerr toldGlassman that really thepurpose of public input wasfor the select board to get a“one way flow of data” fromthe public. It was not a timefor an exchange of opinions.
“If there are other opin-ions, then it needs to go onthe agenda,” said Kerr.
Vice-Chair Jim Barnardagreed with Kerr and said itwas also his understandingthat other communities onlyallot a certain amount oftime for each speaker duringpublic input.
“When we get our busi-ness done, all five of us wantto go home,” said Barnard.
“I’ve seen some meetingsend at 8:30 or 9,… if a meet-ing ends at a reasonable timeyou should allow for the fewpeople who come [to speak],”stated Glassman.
Selectman Andy Houlestated he agreed somewhatwith Glassman. Houle saidif the select board has 10minutes left at the end of ameeting they should offer itfor an additional public in-put. Houle did, however, con-cede that the “chairmanruns the meeting” and it isultimately his decision.
“The chairman controlsthe agenda,” agreed Select-man Gordon Preston.
“I do believe we are hereand we work for the people…if there are five or six peoplewho want to talk to us, theyhave a right to talk,” saidHoule.
Kerr reiterated that peo-ple can always call or sched-ule a meeting with the board.Kerr did, however, say that ifthere is time at the end of ameeting it would be possiblefor more input.
“If it is germane to whatwe’ve dealt with,” added Preston.

ALTON — Local resi-dents led police from severalcommunities on a late nightchase through the back roadsof Alton and New Durhamlast week, a chase that endedat the suspects’ home.
While the circumstancesthat led to the chase are stillunclear, Police Chief PhilSmith stated in an e-mail toThe Baysider on July 23 thatthe incident began at around8 p.m. on the night of July 21,when an officer on patrol inAlton spotted a vehicle be-having erratically.
The vehicle attempted toavoid pursuit by crossing thetown line into New Durham,but police there gave chase,as well, calling in assistancefrom the Farmington PoliceDepartment, which dis-
patched an officer on patrolin the vicinity of Ridge RoadTop.
Officers from State PoliceTroop E, which patrols Belk-nap and Carroll Counties,were also asked to assist inthe pursuit.
The Farmington officercaught up with the suspi-cious vehicle, and followedthe occupants to their resi-dence at 31 Grandview Ave.in Alton, where they surren-dered to authorities.
“I am pleased with our de-partmental personnel’s han-dling of the incident,” Smithwrote. “They stayed withindepartmental policy andmade a good arrest.”

Late night chaseends in Alton
Route 11 crash leads to power outageBY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
NEW DURHAM — Awidespread power outagethat took area residents bysurprise on the morning ofJuly 21 was triggered by arollover on Route 11 in NewDurham.
According to police whoinvestigated the scene of the
crash, 16-year-old PhilipBrown of Acton, Maine wastraveling east in a 1987 BMWat around 8 a.m. when helost control of the vehiclewhile attempting to passthree slower-moving cars onthe left.
Brown’s vehicle swervedoff the road and rolled overinto a utility pole on the
west-bound side of the high-way, just south of Johnson’sSeafood and Steak, inter-rupting the flow of electric-ity to roughly 6,000 NewHampshire Electric Co-op(NHEC) customers in Alton,Belmont, Farmington, Gilmanton, and New Durhamfor nearly half an hour.
Brown emerged from theBMW uninjured, though thevehicle sustained heavydamage to its front end androof.
Witnesses at the scene in-formed police that they sawBrown toss what appearedto be an unopened six-packof beer into the woods at theside of the road after thecrash, leading authorities tocharge him with illegal pos-session of alcohol in addi-tion to unsafe passing on theleft and littering.
Brown, who police saiddid not appear to be intoxi-cated, was given a field so-briety test, which he passed.
Repair crews from NHECand Public Service of NewHampshire responded to thescene and were able to re-store power to some of theaffected customers by tem-porarily re-routing the elec-trical flow until the pole wasreplaced.
Local police and firefight-ers were forced to remain atthe scene until around 1 p.m.due to the fact that Brown’svehicle could not be moveduntil power to the area had
been shut off.Firefighters from Farm-
ington were also dispatchedto the scene of the crash, butwere dismissed when NewDurham’s Fire Departmentdetermined that the situa-tion was not as severe asthey originally thought.

PATRONIZING OUR ADVERTISERS HELPS MAKE THE COMMUNITY STRONG!

Citizen servicePolice Chief Phil Smith (far right) and Selectman Peter Bolster (far left) presented Alton resident and bail commissioner Stephen Hurst (center) withthe police department’s 2009 Citizen Partnership Award in honor of his service to the community during Monday night’s selectmen’s meeting.
A delicate balance
In a story this week on the Barnstead Boardof Selectmen meeting on July 21, contributingwriter Elizabeth Cantrall reports on a requestfrom a resident of Barnstead to the board.
Resident Alan Glassman asked the boardmembers if they would consider adding a sec-ond public input session at the end of themeeting, giving residents another chance tochime in on issues concerning the town.
We don’t think this is a bad idea, as we knowof at least one town in the area (Wolfeboro)that has gone to this format in recent years,though selectmen in Wolfeboro added a sec-ond session at the beginning of the meeting asopposed to the end.
In our opinion, this would give residents abetter chance of having their voices heard inthe town government.
Sometimes, with work and family commit-ments, it might be difficult for a resident tomake it to Town Hall for the start of the meet-ing, and anyone arriving late may not have achance to comment on something that hasbeen concerning them.
However, we also understand that if a meet-ing is running long, a second public commentsection could really drag out the meeting intothe late evening hours, which is not good foranyone involved, the selectmen included.
We’re of the mind that a second public inputsession could be added, but possibly allowingonly for new input, meaning someone whospoke at the first public input session wouldbe asked to not speak during the second ses-sion. Obviously that’s not a perfect plan, butjust a basic outline of a way to possiblyinclude more time for public input withoutrunning the risk of increasingly long meet-ings.
We credit the Barnstead selectmen for beingmuch more open and accessible over the pastfew years and we know that being in a publicposition is never an easy thing. Surely theselectmen get stopped at the BarnsteadCountry Store or Bosco Bell when they stop tobuy a coffee or fill up their tank with gas.They get asked questions all the time, mean-ing being a selectman is not a job that isrestricted to just Tuesday night meetings.
We also know that the selectmen apparentlymake it easy to schedule an appointment withthem if you are unable to make a normalmeeting time or if the public input sessionisn’t the right time to bring up an issue.
Whatever the case may be, we are neveragainst any chance that the public has tomake opinions known to town leaders.However, we’re also receptive to the fact thatin order to keep things running smoothly,selectmen need to be efficient with their time.It’s a delicate balancing act and we are surethat the Barnstead selectmen will find theright combination of openness and efficiencyto make the situation work to everyone’sadvantage.

Growing up in NewHampshire, I’ve certainlyenjoyed nature. The beauti-ful green pastures of Derry,where the clover swayed inthe breeze and dandelionsdotted the landscape.
What flower has made adifference in your life? Youknow those irresistible lit-tle beauties that restore ourfaith in Mother Nature be-cause of the vibrant colors,fragrant aroma, and intri-cate beauty. Magnificent col-ors of pink, yellow, red, andof course, white. Whatflower makes your heartskip a beat, and evoke mem-ories of past times and pres-ent places? Shut your eyes,take a moment, take a deepbreath, and remember, justremember the most impor-tant flower in your life. Now,doesn’t that bring a smile toyour face? Isn’t that what weneed during these difficulttimes?
Several years ago I readan article by Mary Allen, alocal writer, whose motherstarted a flower journal.Here are some entries fromthe flower journal:
“Lilacs: The lilacs
bloomed each spring be-side Grandpa’s blacksmithshop. This building, I laterlearned, had been the origi-nal farmhouse on the prop-erty, before my father andgrandfather purchased thefarm. That would explainsprawling lilac bushes,white and lavender, grow-ing on either side of thedoorway.
“Dandelions: I recall thatmany saucers filled withwater and dandelion headsthat adorned the table, too.My younger brotherbrought these flowers toMother. I once asked whyshe kept them. Motherpointed out that they werespecial because he pickedthem for her, it would hurthis feelings if she threwthem out. I recalled Moth-er’s words when my daugh-ter and then grandchildrenbrought me flower heads asa special offering.”
Poet and writer SlimAcres wrote this humorouspoem about dandelions:
“Roses are red,Violets are blue;But they don’t get aroundLike the dandelions do.”For me, two flowers have
brought jubilation in my
life. They are White Trilli-um and the Mayflowers.Sadly, both are now gettingharder and harder to find.
Among the Mayflowers,growing in our 50 acres wasanother favorite woodlandflower, the White Trillium.
“Just enjoy its beauty,”my parents cautioned.“That way we can enjoy see-ing them year after year.”
The scientific name ofthe trillium is “Trilliumgrandiflorum,” and is alsoknown as Great White Tril-lium or White Wake-Robin.“The height of the specieshas also been shown to be aneffective index of how in-tense foraging by deer is ina particular area.”Wikipedia explains. “Theplant is most common inrich deciduous and mixedupland forests. It is easilyrecognized by its attractivethree petaled white flowers,opening from the late springto the early summer, thatrise above a whorl of three,leaf-like bracts.”
Ontario honored theWhite Trillium by namingit their official flower, andproudly placing this cher-ished flower as an icon ontheir flag.
Springtime walks to seethe White Trillium were sat-isfying. Our appreciation ofnature’s gifts, combinedwith shouts of “I found one”brought laughter to thewoods. We would stare at theprecious White Trillium,but never pick it becausethere was a mystery sur-rounding the trillium. Itwouldn’t make the triphome. It was too delicate
and wouldn’t arrive homesafely. This charming poemtells the tale of this delicateflower:
“Trillium graceful,Trillium white,Star of the woodland,Lady of light.”- Milen MateskaEach spring when the
sunshine penetrates the for-est, these pink and whitewoodland flowers peek outfrom rounded, heart shapedleaves. I’ve always knownthese flowering gems asMayflowers; however, thescientific name is TrailingArbutus. It’s the state flowerof Massachusetts, and nowthey are unlawful to pick.The fragrant small, whiteand pink blossoms nearlybring tears to my eyes be-cause I enjoy seeing them.
My springtime marriageallowed me to have a fewsprigs of Mayflowers in mybridal bouquet. Childhoodmemories of our familygathering Mayflowers bringme back to a simpler time.Each flowering vine wascarefully cut and harvestedthus guaranteeing contin-ued growth.
Enjoy the warm weather.Enjoy the wonderful, color-ful flowers in your wood-lands and gardens, especial-ly that one special flowerthat brings a bright, shiningsmile.

NEW DURHAM — Themembers of New Durham’sPlanning Board set aside aportion of their July 21 worksession to re-visit some of theunresolved issues in theirdiscussion of impact fees onnew development.
Building InspectorArthur Capello came beforethe board to suggest that theyset 150 square feet as the min-imum amount of new con-struction on which to assessan impact fee.
Recommending that addi-tions to existing houses thatare clearly not living areas,such as a farmer’s porch, beexempted, Capello asked theboard whether a den builtabove a detached garageshould be considered “livingspace,” and therefore subjectto an impact fee.
Explaining that some wa-terfront property owners intown have begun adding bunk houses to their homeswith beds for grandchildrenwho visit them during thesummer, Capello said he didnot consider the extra roomsliving space because they didnot include kitchens orplumbing facilities, and peo-ple do not use them in a way
that impacts the local schoolpopulation.
The board agreed that on-ly space directly attached toa dwelling unit should besubject to an impact fee, butfelt that if additional modifi-cations are made to a denover a garage allowing it tobe used year-round as a liv-ing space, an impact feeshould be assessed.
The board members alsoagreed by consensus that impact fees should not applyto expansion of seasonalhomes.
Selectmen’s representa-tive Dave Bickford askedCapello whether it would beeasier to return to the idea ofcounting bedrooms as the ba-sis for impact fees, ratherthan square footage.
Capello replied that itwould be easier in someways, but more difficult inothers.
The board agreed by con-sensus to stick to the square-footage basis.
While discussing the twotimes at which existing regu-lations permit the assess-ment of impact fees (duringthe subdivision process, orwhen a building permit is is-sued), some board membersquestioned how it would be
possible to calculate thesquare footage of non-exis-tent homes when approvinga subdivision, and wonderedwhether it would be easier toassess the fees at the time abuilding permit is issued.
Land Use AdministrativeAssistant David Allen said hewould address the questionto impact fee expert BruceMayberry, and report back tothe board.
McKay permit renewed
With Capello reportingthat he had inspected thegravel pit operated by McKayIndustries on Pine PointRoad on July 6 and found noissues, the board voted unan-imously to renew the McK-ays’ excavation permit untilJune 26, 2011.
Next meeting
The board’s next monthlybusiness meeting has beenscheduled for Tuesday, Aug.4,at 7 p.m.at either Town Hallor the library, depending onthe level of public atten-dance.

Planners re-visit impact fees
BY HEATHER TERRAGNI
Granite State News
WOLFEBORO — SchoolBoard member Ernie Brownis proud of the GovernorWentworth Regional SchoolDistrict. So proud, he evenlet New Hampshire Depart-ment of Education Commis-sioner Virginia Barry, PhD.,know it. In doing so, the De-partment of Education’sWeb site, www.ed.state.nh.us/education, is currentlyhome to a photo and smallarticle regarding the dis-trict’s notable achieve-ment of maintaining a verylow, possibly non-existent,dropout rate.
Reading that, “Although afinal determination will notbe made until October 1,2009, the Governor Went-worth Regional School Dis-trict is anticipating betweena zero and one percentdropout rate for the 2008-2009 school year,” Brownsays the district has come along way, a far cry fromwhen Brown first got in-volved with the SchoolBoard in 1985 (approximate-ly), when the dropout rateaveraged approximately 10to 12 percent. Brown com-mented that the “tremen-dous effort of our teachersand administration” who re-ally “care about the stu-dents” is something to berecognized.
The Web site also notesthat, “Along with the careand diligence of the staffand administration atKingswood High School, avariety of individualized op-portunities are available forstudents within the SchoolDistrict, including the Vir-tual Learning Academy,PLATO Learning, and cor-respondence classes.” Thesealternatives to standardclassroom learning environ-ments create opportunitiesfurther adding to the dis-trict’s success. Superinten-dent Jack Robertson addedthat, “The school board’sopenness to providing alter-native learning environ-ments and the dedicatedwork of the staff are the rea-sons why our dropout rate isso low.”
While the district will notknow for sure how manydropouts there were for the2008-2009 school year untilOct. 1, the district has yet to“identify anyone that hasleft from either theKingswood complex or Lake-side Academy.” Studentswho do not return in the fallare considered dropouts forthe past school year, hencethe Oct. 1 determination.
Robertson commented,“When it comes to educa-tion, one size does not fit all.Provid-ing alternatives foryoung people is very impor-
tant if we are going to helpthem succeed.” He remindsthe community that the dis-trict’s vision statement,“Helping each child createthe future,” reflects the dis-trict’s acknowledgment thateach pupil is a unique per-son with personalized edu-cational strengths as well asindividual learning needs.The challenge now will be“for us is to maintain thatkind of effort over time sothat the culture in the schoolcommunity becomes onewhere no one ever drops outof school,” Robertson con-cluded.
Like Brown, Robertson is“Proud of the effort thateveryone is making to liveup to the expectations of ourvision statement.” Whetherit be a zero or one percentdropout rate, the GovernorWentworth Regional SchoolDistrict has achieved themighty task of keep-ing stu-dents engaged in theirschoolwork, interested incoming back, and preparedto move forward, accom-plishments that require ded-ication and care which canbe found in any of its staff,he added.

Selectmen reluctant to approve new fire truck for New DurhamBY GIGI GIAMBANCO
Contributing Writer
NEW DURHAM — NewDurham’s three-memberboard of selectmen is spliton whether or not to allowthe fire department to pur-chase a new truck thatwould provide a more trust-worthy vehicle to fight for-est fires.
Fire Chief Peter Varneyand Deputy Chief Mike Dav-enport met with the boardat its June 20 meeting to re-port on the condition of thecurrent forestry vehicle andto request a board decisionas to which of three truckoptions it will use as aforestry vehicle.
The department recentlyhad a new skid unit deliv-ered, which was paid for bya grant from the Federal
Emergency ManagementAgency. The ‘skid’ will beslid onto the back ofwhichever truck the boardchooses. A ‘skid’ is a utilitythat is slid onto a truck bed,and it includes a small ATVand a water tank, amongother tools.
The fire department hadsubmitted a plan to FEMAto receive the funding forthe skid, in which it stated itwould be mounting the uniton its Utility 2 truck. The‘U2’ used to be the depart-ment’s rescue vehicle, butlast year the departmentpurchased a newrescue/pumper vehicle toreplace the U2 as a rescue.Under the plan, the U2would become a forestrytruck and the current‘forestry’ would be removed.
The forestry is a 1982 Dodgethat was converted in 1992.
In the time that has tran-spired since the plan wassubmitted to FEMA, the de-partment began to use theU2 for other services, suchas rehabilitation and sup-port. Now, stated Davenportand Varney, the U2 is veryuseful as its only vehicle forthe services it now pro-vides, and it is no longer apreferred plan to mount theskid on it.
All in all, the departmentmust have the skid mount-ed and ready for use by Dec.22, Davenport said, andthere are three options forthis: mount it on theforestry, the U2 or on a newtruck. If the forestry wereused, the U2 could remainas is; however, it is a short-term option, Davenportsaid.
As for the forestry, ac-cording to his knowledgeand a report by the town’sequipment mechanic, Var-ney said, it is known to “diecompletely,” and he doesn’tknow if this has been re-paired. Electrical problemsare also present. Also, thelights on the truck will sud-denly go out, and the sourceof this problem is still amystery for the mechanic.The fuse box falls out of thedash, and all but a select fewaren’t willing to drive it,
Varney and Davenport said.Varney said he is con-
cerned about the additionalweight of the skid on theforestry, and that since itwas converted in 1992 it hasnever been certified. It mustbe certified and he made anappointment to do so, but itmay not pass because of itsage, he said.
Using the U2 is also ashort term option. It is thedepartment’s only supportvehicle and the only one thatmembers under 21 candrive, and it provides quickaccess to the mule, an ATVvehicle that is used to godeep into the woods, Daven-port said. A new vehicle,however, he said, would costabout $30,000 after all incen-tives and coupons are ap-plied. Those discounts areavailable due to the currenteconomic situation, andmay not be available lateron, he said. He looked atused vehicles, but someweren’t in good shape; nei-ther were the state replace-ment vehicles worth pur-chasing, he said.
Using funds from the cap-ital reserve fund for a newpurchase, he continued,would be less of an impacton the taxpayers, a longersolution, and would “put uson the other side of the cap-ital improvement plan.” Itwould reduce the replace-ment period for the depart-ment’s other trucks by two
to four years. It would cutthe amount of usage onthem, he added.
FEMA could take backthe funds for the skid, Dav-enport and Varney stated, ifthe department does not usethe U2 as was stated to FE-MA. However, if the planwere improved by a newpurchase, FEMA probablywouldn’t do that, he indicat-ed.
Board Chair Ron Gehlsaid a new purchase was thebest purchase, and that itwould provide the least im-pact on the taxpayers. Hewould only approve of thepurchase, however, if theoffset in the capital im-provement plan due to an in-creased time limit on theother department vehiclesis officially in place.
Selectman Dave Bickfordsaid he wanted to see a re-port on the forestry to seehow many times it has beenworked on. He added he did-n’t want to buy a new truckthat is going to go out intothe woods and get bangedup.
Varney replied theforestry has been in thewoods 20 years and isn’tbanged up. Davenport addedthe mule and skid ATV isused to go deep in the woods.
Davenport indicated FE-MA requires the skid bemounted and ready for useby Dec. 22.
Varney said he didn’t
know if the forestry will becertified, or if there is mon-ey budgeted. He also said hewants to keep the U2 for re-habilitation so as not to con-taminate the ambulance forother emergencies.
Bickford showed his re-luctance. He said the fire de-partment told the taxpayersat the last town meeting cer-tain information and nowthe department is changingthe plan it presented tothem. He hasn’t heard a sig-nificant argument to justifythe purchase, he indicated.
“I’m not hearing new in-formation,” he said.
He said he would like thevoters presented with theoptions and the choice. Hesuggested the departmentsee if FEMA would extendits deadline until after townmeeting.
Selectman Terry Jarvis,who was listening in via cellphone and respondingthrough the phone speaker,was also reluctant.
“If the economy was notquite as bad as it was I mighthave different feelings onthis,” she said.
She requested Varneycheck to see if the forestrycan be certified with an ad-ditional 4,000-pound load.
Road name changes
The selectmen finished atwo-part public hearing tosolicit comments on the pro-posed idea to change someroad names to participate inthe “Statewide GPS E-9-1-1mapping system,” as statedin the board’s notice for thepublic hearing. Accordingto the board, the namechanges and the mappingsystem will allow emer-gency dispatch to know theprecise location of where tosend emergency personnelduring an emergency.

of a lot of folks. Add to thisthe tomato blight problemsdistributed far and wide bysome of the big box stores andwe have the perfect storm.
But among the successes, ashorter list to be sure, are theabundant crops of blueber-ries, a bit late but flush withgood picking. And my daylilyplants are loving the plentifulwater even though the bloomperiods are later than usualand the flowers packed withextraordinary color. Weedshave prospered truly. In fact, Ihave spent enough money onassistant weed-pullers thatPresident Obama called mepersonally to thank me for as-sisting in stimulating theeconomy.
My daylily gardens aregrowing so abundantly that Ihave initiated a daylily give-away, a free plant to all newcustomers and at the sametime contributing cash to theNew Durham Food Pantry inthe name of every visitor tomy gardens, customer or not.
I am certain that garden-ing successes are occurringthat I do not hear about, butfolks do not come to me tobrag as often as they bringquestions. A gardening suc-cess of another kind is the re-cent renovation of the gardenat the New Durham TownHall. At 7 a.m. on a Sunday, a"small but determined" groupof volunteer saboteurs, in-cluding one ancient but well-known gardener, one highschool class president, andtwo concerned citizens fromMerrymeeting Road joinedtheir skills and energies to-ward restoring the gardenaround one of the memorialwar monuments.Armed withmassive pruners, razor-sharphoes, mosquito repellent, de-termination and a load ofhate for weeds, they gainedback a measure of the gar-den's original beauty. Thetown road agent tidied up thepiles of debris left by the ma-rauding pack. Another suc-cess is the handsome garden
at the New Durham GeneralStore, installed last year andnow contributing mightily tothe fine appearance ofgreater downtown metropoli-tan New Durham.
Another success story isthe phenomenal number offolks buying chickens for as-sistance in cutting food costsand in the general move to-ward individual control oversubsistence concerns. Aman-da Turner (at MerrymeetingGardens) has been selling agreat number and variety ofheirloom and otherwise in-teresting chickens, literallyby the hundreds. She sellsthem mostly at chicken swapsthroughout the state, and onCraigslist. Kids (and parents)come from all over to see the little chicks scurryingaround at Merrymeeting Gar-dens. Interesting times.
Let's hope that the rest ofthe summer will bring betterweather and that a lot of pend-ing possibilities will brightenalong with the good days.

Merrymeeting Daylilies
Gardening is always astruggle, a challenge andspiked with the occasionalvery strange. This year is theyear of a very major effort bya lot of good folks who wouldlike to beat expenses down,grow fresh uncontaminatedvegs (as the British garden-ing mag calls them) only to
meet with impossibly diffi-cult weather conditions forachieving vegetable gardensuccess. A month-plus ofovercast and rainy weatherhas spawned the deaths ofsquash, cukes, corn, radishes(maggots), etc. My lettuce isstill flourishing due to lack ofhot weather when it wouldnormally bolt and turn toseed. But a person can die
from lack of nutrition fromlettuce. Tomato plants aresometimes six feet tall (viewmy patch for proof) andsparsely fruited.
At Merrymeeting Gar-dens, Amanda sold more veg-gie plants this year than everbefore, the report also fromSunflower and Pearsons. Buttragically,this season's weath-er will discourage the efforts

BARNSTEAD — BaileyJennings, a resident of Cen-ter Barnstead and member of the Farmyard Friends 4-H Club, is this year’s recipi-ent of the 2009 State of NH 4-H Beekeeping Essay Award,from The Foundation for the Preservation of HoneyBees, Inc. Jennings’ essay, en-titled “Dancing with theBees,” was also recently rec-ognized by the NH Beekeep-er’s Association.
Jennings is known to seekout new and different ways tochallenge herself. This pastspring she decided to learnmore about honeybees andhow they communicate, re-sulting in her award-winningessay. She discovered that,“when a bee finds a nearbysource of unexploited food,they perform the RoundDance. The bee performs thisdance in a small circle andthen every one or two circlesthe bee will switch and circlein the opposite direction. Ifyou’re having difficulty pic-turing this, imagine RhettButler and Scarlett O’Haradoing the Virginia Reel. Theother bees that were given in-formation by the dancing beewill go looking for the food inevery direction and as far asthe dance indicates. In addi-
tion, the dancing bee gives offthe smell of a flower(s) it hasfound to make it easier to findthe food source.” The judgingcommittee mentioned thather essay was well thoughtout and reflected a significantamount of research into thebehavior of honeybees.
The Foundation for thePreservation of Honey Bees,Inc. has released its 4-H essaytopic for 2010.It is “Is My Com-munity Honey-Bee Friend-ly?” Essayists are invited tosurvey their communities tosee what is being done, or
could be done to help honey-bees. And, conversely, whatactivities, if any, are harmfulto honey bees.
Youth who are interestedin writing and are membersof a 4-H club are encouragedto participate. If you wouldlike more information on be-coming a member of theStrafford County 4-H pro-gram, call Linda Willard, Ed-ucational Program Coordina-tor, 4-H Youth Development,at 749-4445 or [email protected] for 4-H program in-formation and contest details.

Summer socials offera chance to hearfrom political leaders
upcoming guest speakers, tovolunteer,or to direct any oth-er questions to the Win-nipesaukee Republican Com-mittee, send an e-mail to [email protected].
WOLFEBORO — TheWinnipesaukee RepublicanCommittee continues to pro-vide a forum in which citi-zens can judge candidatesand potential candidates eye-ing elected positions for nextyear. Since June, the commit-tee’s summer socials havebeen under way, allowingmembers and guests to hearfirsthand the positions, expe-rience and ideas of the state’semerging and veteran lead-ers. The next two socials areplanned to take place Aug. 11in Wolfeboro and Sept. 1 inMoultonborough.
Summer socials offer a ca-sual atmosphere for atten-dees to meet like-minded lo-cals and summer residentsand to talk to the candidatesdirectly. Aside from Sept. 1,each social takes place at 6p.m. at the Wolfetrap Grilland Rawbar located at 19 BaySt. in Wolfeboro.
On June 23, the eve of thefinal vote on the state budget,State Sen. Jeb Bradley spokeabout the consequences fortaxpayers if the budget wereaccepted.
On July 14, former guber-natorial candidate and poten-tial candidate for U.S. SenateOvide Lamontagne spokeabout his prospects for lead-ership in the Senate were heto officially run. Now is agood time, he said, for theGOP to bounce back. There isa sense of urgency in the na-tion as a result of the actionsof the Obama administrationand the Democratic legisla-tures. If something isn’t doneright now to reverse trendsthey are pushing, he said,“[W]e are going to collapseunder our own weight.”
The allowance of ear-marks and pork were unfor-tunately commonplace un-der President Bush, Lamon-tagne said, but they are theepitome of Obama’s stimu-lus. Eliminating earmarksand having line-by-line vetopower for the president aretwo “simple but powerful”measures he would like to seeimplemented, he said. Taxesshould be lower and govern-ment power should be as lo-cal as possible, he added.
If elected, Lamontagnesaid he wants to be at his prin-cipal residence in Manches-ter when he isn’t needed inWashington. Additionally, hesaid he doesn’t want to be aRepublican who is busy win-ning popularity contests withthose who hold the power topolitical re-election. Nor is hein danger of this, he said.
“I have never been the es-tablishment candidate,” hesaid.
On Tuesday, July 28, thecommittee was scheduled tohear from economist BobBestani of Newmarket, whowill be challenging Manches-ter Mayor Frank Guinta forthe 1st Congressional Dis-trict seat.
On July 16, Bestani gavean in-depth explanation tothe Barnstead-Alton Republi-can Committee on whatcaused the current global fi-nancial crisis. He stated he isnot interested in a career as apolitician, but rather suc-cumbing to his conscience forthe sake of his children andcountry to make noise in Con-gress based on his experiencein economics, energy, foreignrelations and Middle Easternculture.
Bestani recently retiredfrom a career in internation-al banking and finance, andhas worked in the treasurydepartment under GeorgeH.W. Bush. He is a visitingscholar at the Collaboratoryfor Research on Global Pro-jects at Stanford Universityand is a member of the Coun-cil on Foreign Relations.

Strafford County ConservationDistrict plans annual dinner meeting
suitable for development.Hoopes raised concern
about the dramatic increasein size between what wasoriginally proposed at the siteand the newly proposed retailbuilding.
“It’s like putting 10 poundsin a five-pound bag,” he said,pointing out that the buildingmight have to be moved awayfrom the wetland area at theback end of the lot, whichcould create issues with ac-cess for emergency and deliv-ery vehicles.
Goldy explained that theamended site plan itselfmight be causing concern,since it shows only one cor-ner of a 12.75-acre site.
While it may appear, dueto the myopic focus on thatone corner, that the develop-ers are “really trying tosqueeze [the building] onthere,” he said, the impact onthe total parcel would, in fact,be minimal.
“I just don’t see a lot ofspace,” Hoopes replied.
Sargent said he thoughtthat was also the case withthe original proposal, whichshowed a smaller building,but with more parking.
Hoopes noted that Bahrewas looking at the site interms of what would besaleable to potential tenants.
From the town’s point ofview, he said, “if [the build-ing is] too big on a small site,there’s a problem.”
Turnin to traffic flow atthe site, Hoopes suggestedthat the developers take intoaccount the tendency of somedrivers to go the wrong wayin a one-way set-up, and planfor appropriate signage.
Echoing Hoopes’ concernsabout traffic, Penney saidthat while she considered the proposed retail store a“good project,” she felt thatthere was already a “bumpercar mentality” on display between McDonald’s andHannaford.
Urging the developers toconsider whatever trafficcalming measures might benecessary, including clearlydelineated directional sig-nage, Penney acknowledgedthat signage can reach a “tip-ping point” where it ceases to help, and only confusesdrivers.
Goldy said developers areconstantly trying to strike abalance between insufficientsignage, which leaves peoplenot knowing where to go, andclutter, which simply leavesthem confused.
“I just don’t think peopleare going to pay attention,”Penney said, adding that shecould not stress her concerns
about traffic flow enough.In the past, she said, she
has seen people come to acomplete stop on the roadnear Homestead Place notknowing where to go.
Hoopes commented thathe has seen drivers attemptto cut across the grass at the end of the road to get toRoute 28.
Penney asked what thetraffic projection had beenfor the restaurant.
Goldy said he wasn’t sure, but could provide thatinformation.
Asked by Penney whetherhe had any information onhow much traffic the retailstore would generate, Goldyreplied that it would be sig-nificantly less than theamount generated by arestaurant, which sees morepatrons come and go on a dai-ly basis.
Penney said the impor-tance of clearly guiding traf-fic through the site was a con-sideration “near and dear” toher heart.
Hoopes commented thatpeople heading toward Mc-Donald’s from the Hannafordparking lot would instinctu-ally aim for the first entrancethey come to, making it vitalfor the developers to plan forsome sort of traffic calmingmeasure.
“If they can go the wrongway, they will,” he said.
Board member and FireChief Scott Williams voicedconcern about the parkingspaces right up against thebuilding.
Given the length of thespaces shown on the site plan,he said, a ladder truck wouldhave to position itself 20 to 40feet away from the buildingin the event of a fire, makingit difficult for firefighters tomake the roof.
Would there be any way,he asked, to create a fire laneon at least one side of thebuilding?
Goldy said the design teamcould look into the matter.
Public reaction
Reuben Wentworth, own-er of Alton Home and Lum-ber, approached the boardwhen the floor was opened tocomments from the public to question whether it wasfollowing the appropriateprocedure.
Stating that as he under-stood it, there is a provisionin the state RSAs requiringan applicant to file for a newsite plan review if nothinghas been done on a piece ofproperty for two years orlonger,Wentworth said he feltthat “significant change”
proposed by Bahre warrant-ed a new site plan, ratherthan an amended version ofthe original plan.
As someone who hadplowed next door to Home-stead Place in the past, andhad seen Hannaford dumpthe snow from its parking lotonto the pad-out, he felt thatsnow removal was an issuethat needed to be addressed.
Commenting that the av-erage business in Alton cur-rently experiences between200 and 300 transactions perday, Wentworth suggestedthat the developers plan for aminimum of 200 vehicles aday at the proposed retailstore.
While he did not knowwhat Bahre had in mind interms of a tenant, he notedthat Hannaford has far ex-ceeded its estimated trafficcount, and that his store onRoute 11 sees more than 300transactions per day duringthe summer.
Although his business isgrandfathered, Wentworthsaid that if he had to do it allover again, he felt certain theboard would ask him to do afull site plan review.
Hoopes suggested that the board check with TownAttorney James Sesslerabout the RSA Wentworthmentioned.
Reading from the originalNotice of Decision issued bythe board on Dec. 16, 2004,Goldy noted that under theconditions of approval, therestaurant site was listed asbeing subject to an amendedsite plan if and when Bahremanaged to secure a tenant.
Hoopes said he felt Went-worth was trying to raise theissue of whether or not a siteplan ceases to exist after twoyears of inactivity.
As he saw it, he said, theapplication was for anamended site plan, and thedevelopers would have to re-turn to the board for a full re-view after finding a tenant.
Agreeing that there weretoo many unknowns for themto approve the amended siteplan presented last week, theboard voted unanimously tocontinue the case to its nextmonthly business meeting,scheduled for Tuesday, Aug.18, at 6 p.m. at Town Hall.
Time change
Starting next month, theboard’s meetings will beginan hour earlier, at 6 p.m., asper a vote taken at last week’smeeting.

were made, including theconstruction of the trafficlight at the main entrance toHannaford; the widening ofRoute 28 in order to create theleft-turn lane; improvementsto Range Road; and a signifi-cant financial contribution tothe state Department ofTransportation for future im-provements along the TrafficCircle.
All of that work, he said,was completed under the as-sumption that a restaurantwould be opening on the pad-out, meaning that the im-provements were designed tohandle a higher volume oftraffic than a retail storewould generate.
Noting that a six-inch wa-ter main was also installed atthe site during the construc-tion of Homestead Place,along with a cistern and firepump, Goldy said the pro-posed retail building wouldbe tied into that same system,ensuring an adequate supplyof water for both domesticuse and fire suppression.
Explaining some of thestorm water managementmeasures employed duringthe construction of Han-naford and Homestead Place,he said that in light of newregulations requiring thepre-treatment of runoff com-ing off a paved parking lot,the engineers laid out a pairof bio-retention ponds linedwith mulch, sand, and otherpermeable materials.
Touching on the issue ofsnow storage, Goldy ex-plained that with a lack ofavailable space for storage,any accumulation up to halfan inch would be plowed intothe parking spaces that wereused the least, then loaded on-to trucks and hauled off thesite after three or four suc-cessive storms.
The current lighting plan,he said, calls for a combina-tion of cutoff luminaries andwall packs, both dark-skycompliant.
With Balcius explainingthe steps taken to minimizethe project’s potential impacton surrounding wetlands,Sargent wrapped up the pres-entation with a look at theproposed septic system,which he said was approved(based on the estimated seat-ing capacity of the restau-rant) to handle up to 2,350 gal-lons per day, far exceeding the minimum requirement of 500 gallons per day for a 10,000-square-foot retailspace.
Although the system de-signed for the restaurant wasapproved in 2005, he said, thedevelopers are planning tohold off on submitting a re-vised design until they securean actual tenant, and find outwhether 500 gallons per daywill be adequate.
Town Planner Sharon Penney asked whether the ap-plicants had any estimat-es yet as to the number ofemployees.
Explaining that Bahre hasno tenant in place at this time,Sargent said he anticipatedno more than five employees.
Bahre, he said, hopes thata nod of approval from theplanning board might enticepotential tenants to take alook at the site.
The restaurant, Sargentsaid, was approved with theproviso that the applicantwould come back before theboard after securing a tenantwith a site plan showing whatthe building would look like.
Penney commented thatthe lack of any detailed ar-chitectural renderings raisedseveral questions, and was anissue the board planned to ad-dress at a later point in themeeting.
Noting that the first ques-tion Bahre asked the boardwhen he submitted the appli-cation for Hannaford was“What do you want to see [interms of architectural fea-tures]?” board member TomHoopes re-iterated theboard’s response at that time:no flat-roofed “boxes,” butrather something in keepingwith the style of the sur-rounding neighborhood.
Sargent assured the boardthat the proposed retail build-ing would be in keeping withthe appearance of Hannafordand Homestead Place.
Bahre, he said, wants to at-tract people to the property,and does not want anythingto clash.
Penney read into therecord comments from Assis-tant Fire Chief Ed Consenti-no, who raised concern aboutthe fact that no fire lanes, en-trances, loading docks, ordumpsters were depicted onthe site plan, and questionedwhether emergency vehicleswould be able to access allsides of the building, espe-cially with snowbanks to con-tend with during the winter.
Goldy replied that they de-sign team had tried to strikea balance between minimiz-ing impact and providingeasy access for both emer-gency personnel and cus-tomers.
Without a well-defined ar-chitectural plan, he said, it isimpossible to note whereevery single door will be located.
While it would be safe toassume that there will be adoor on the front, one in the back, and one near thedumpster, he explained,Bahre is in “that chicken-and-egg state” where it is dif-ficult to get potential tenantsinterested in the propertywithout assurances of somekind from the board that it is

the turbine itself.Board member Maureen
Fitzpatrick commented thatshe recently saw a wind tur-bine in operation in Dorch-ester, Mass.
Given the fact that Dorch-ester is a densely populatedarea, Fitzpatrick said shecame away with the impres-sion that “these could be putup anywhere.”
“They really can,” Iovan-ni replied, explaining thatthe biggest hurdle for anyturbine project is the per-mitting process, making itall the more important forthe district to have done thenecessary research beforeapproaching the planningboard.
They key to winning vot-ers and town officials over,he added, is to focus on the financial benefit windturbines offer to the com-munity.
“The payback is there,” hesaid, adding that the districtwould likely recoup its in-
vestment in eight or nineyears, depending on the typeof turbine selected.
Asked by board memberSandy Wyatt what the cost tothe district would be for eachphase of the project, Iovannireplied that the bill forWRE’s services, “from startto finish,” would come toabout $50,000 ($3,500 for thepre-feasibility study work,$9,000 for data collection,$5,000 to $10,000 for permit-ting, and an additional $5,000to $10,000 for construction).
Controversial book
added to English
curriculum
Principal James Fitz-patrick presented the boardlast week with a request toadd a book to the school’sEnglish curriculum that hesaid stirred controversy atthe time of its publicationdue to a disturbing rapescene.
Explaining that from hisperspective, everything stu-dents are asked to read atProspect Mountain, from
Shakespeare to J.D.Salinger’s “The Catcher inthe Rye,” includes materialthat has been consideredcontroversial at one time oranother, Fitzpatrick said thebook in question (which hedid not name) simply depictsage-old issues in “a modern-day venue.”
If any student or theirparent objects to the materi-al contained in the book(which will be incorporatedinto Honors and AdvancedPlacement courses taken byupperclassmen), he said,that student will be given theoption of reading a differentbook, and will be assessed on the same skills as theirclassmates.
Asked by board memberMaureen Smith whetherparents had been given ad-vance notice, Fitzpatricksaid letters were sent homeinforming parents andguardians about the materi-al contained in the book.
Board member Diane Bei-jer commented that she hadread the book in question,
and felt that it was beautiful-ly-written, but found therape scene very graphic andoff-putting.
Commenting that she wasraised in a house full ofbooks, and that her motheradopted the attitude thatreading challenging materi-al would do her no harm,board member Kathy Pre-ston commended the Englishdepartment for incorporat-ing the book in question intoits curriculum.
“You have to let kidsread,” she said, agreeingwith Fitzpatrick’s view thatthe rape scene was no moredisturbing than the materialdepicted in many of Shake-speare’s plays.
Next meeting
The board’s next meetinghas been scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 18, at 6:30 p.m.in the high school mediacenter.

benefit that the board hadagreed, at the suggestion ofSelectman Loring Carr, towork on the hawkers andvendors policy during an up-coming work session.
“I think you need to workon it real hard, because it’snot fair,” Bell said, re-iterat-ing his objection to an out-of-town vendor being allowed toset up what he considered aproduce stand at the bay sev-en days a week.
“He’s under cutting me,”he added, asking again whythe board seemed unable toproduce a written definitionor policy concerning farm-ers’ markets.
Carr encouraged Bell towrite down what his con-cerns were, and how he feltthe board should addressthem.
Resident Linda Hart, whohoped to participate in thechurch market as a vendor,said she was told by the own-ers of Amilyne’s Market thatthey had been approachedprior to the meeting by aboard member who said theywould vote against grantinga hawkers and vendors per-mit for the farmers’ market.
“I don’t understand whyyou can’t let free enterprisehappen for three or fourhours on a Saturday,” shesaid.
Bolster explained thatHart and the other organiz-ers of the farmers’ market
would be allowed to put it on,provided they met the threestipulations — a $500,000 lim-ited liability insurance poli-cy; written permission fromthe property owner; and theappropriate state licensingrequirements.
Questioning the need foran insurance policy, Hartasked whether other busi-nesses in town were requiredto purchase insurance in or-der to operate on publicroads.
Bolster replied that mostbusinesses carry insurancepolicies.
“It’s a safety issue,” Fullersaid. “If someone falls onthat sidewalk, they’re goingto sue whoever has the deep-est pockets, and it’s going tobe the town.”
Directing the board to theNew Hampshire Farmers’Association’s definition of afarmer’s market (whichstates that a true farmer’smarket must be held on neu-tral property, and must in-clude at least two vendors),Hart questioned their sin-cerity in saying they wouldwelcome a farmer’s marketto the community when ex-isting regulations seemed toher to exclude “everythingthat’s part of a farmer’s mar-ket.”
Addressing the board’s re-luctance to allow competi-tion with business owners ontown-owned land, Hart sug-gested that a successfulfarmer’s market might have
the opposite effect by bring-ing new people into the areawho might choose to visitnearby businesses.
Honors for Alton’s finest
Police Chief Phil Smithappeared before the board atthe start of Monday night’smeeting to present the de-partment’s Citizen Partner-ship and Officer of the Yearawards.
The Citizen Partnershipaward went to bail commis-sioner Stephen Hurst, whoseassistance Smith said hasbeen invaluable over the pastyear.
Officer of the Year honorswent to Timothy Sullivan inhonor of traffic enforcementefforts during 2008, which re-sulted in 600 stops and 38 ar-rests, earning him a “Look-ing Beyond the Ticket”award earlier this year fromthe state Police Standardsand Training Council.
Odds and ends
In other business, theboard pledged its support forthe Local Government Cen-
ter’s pending class actionsuit against the state over re-duced retirement contribu-tions; accepted a bid fromG.W. Brooks & Son in theamount of $72,355 for the re-placement of the culvert on
Alton Shores Road (80 per-cent of which will be fundedthrough a hazard mitigationgrant from FEMA); accepteda bid of $500 for a decommis-sioned 1993 Ford F-350 ambu-lance; and approved a pole pe-

On the way to AltonOn July 11, when President John Quincy Adams (portrayed here by Jim Cook) sent the Bench ofFriendship from the Adams' family homestead in Quincy, Mass. to Alton, it was with a fond farewell.Museum Deputy Superintendent Caroline Keinath, a renowned Adams family historian, said she is cer-tain the real John Quincy Adams would have been heartened by the symbolic gift and the welcome ithas received in America, as he was convinced that our nations could do much for our world if theyworked together. When Vladimir Terehov and Nikolai Arzhannikov left the Lakes Region last week afterdays of working side-by-side with residents, they made a special request to the Baysider to publishtheir sincere thanks to the citizens of Alton for the outpouring of kindness they received here. "We couldhave asked for nothing more," said Azhannikov, "than the warmth and understanding Alton residentsgave us, as well as the chance to work together. That has meant more to us than all else.You have givenus real hope that our countries can work together. We hope when you sit on the bench you will remem-ber our gratitude to you." (In the spirit of the bench being given to the entire Lakes Region, it will resideat the Gilman Library, its primary home, from Sept. 15 thru June 15 each year, and will be on loan toWolfeboro during the summer tourist season.)

BARNSTEAD — An ele-vated cyanobacteria cell con-centration has been meas-ured in Locke Lake in Barn-stead. Samples revealed thatthe state standard of 50 per-cent or greater of the totalcells from the bloom wereidentified as the cyanobacte-ria Anabaena circinalis. As aresult, the New HampshireDepartment of Environmen-tal Services (DES) has issueda cyanobacteria warning forthose who recreate on LockeLake. This warning is notbased on a toxin evaluationand is intended as a precau-tionary measure for short-term exposure. DES adviseslake users to avoid contactwith the water in areas expe-riencing elevated cyanobac-teria cell conditions, typical-ly where lake water has a sur-face scum or blue-greenflecks. DES also advises petowners to keep their pets outof any waters that have a sur-face scum or blue-green or
bright green flecks.Lake users should be on
the lookout for cyanobacte-ria surface scums. Recentsightings report congrega-tions of the blue-green scumon the lake’s edge.
DES routinely monitorspublic beaches and publicwaters of the state forcyanobacteria. DES moni-tors public waters issuedcyanobacteria warnings on aweekly basis until thecyanobacteria standards areagain met. Cyanobacteriaare natural components ofwater bodies worldwide, butblooms and surface scumsmay form when excess phos-phorus is available to the wa-ter. Some cyanobacteria pro-duce toxins that are storedwithin the cells but releasedupon cell death. Toxins cancause both acute and chron-ic health effects ranging inseverity from skin and mu-cous membrane irritations,nausea, vomiting, and diar-
rhea to liver and centralnervous system damage forhumans and animals.
The July 22 warning willremain in effect until addi-tional samples revealcyanobacteria levels have di-minished.
Visit the DES Beach Pro-gram Web site at http://des.nh.gov/organization/di-visions/water/wmb/beach-es/cyano_bacteria.htm forphotos and more informa-tion about cyanobacteria.Updates on advisories andwarnings may be obtained athttp://www2.des.state.nh.us/Advisories/Beaches/.
If you notice anything re-sembling cyanobacteria,please refrain from wading,swimming, or drinking thewater. Keep all pets out of thewater and contact DES im-mediately. Please call DES toreport a cyanobacteriabloom at 419-9229.

THE BAYSIDER SECTION B, PAGE 1THURSDAY, JULY 30, 2009
End of the month means time to clean out the random thoughtsAs July draws to a close
and the fall sports scheduleapproaches rapidly, it’s timeto clean out the junk drawerthat I call my mind with somerandom thoughts.
After a few months withonly one job and quite hon-estly, way too much time onmy hands, I recently startedmy new second job, rightnext door to my office inWolfeboro, at Pronto Market.I’ve worked five days so farand as of yet, haven’t burneddown the building, so I guessthat’s a good sign. I am doinga little bit of everything, so itkeeps me busy, and I truly ap-preciate that.
I had my first exposure toAustralian Rules Footballthis past weekend, thanks toBrewster athletic directorDoug Algate, a native of theLand Down Under. For thepast 10 years he’s been host-ing Boston USAFL players atBrewster Academy and thisyear’s games were on Satur-
day afternoon. Needless tosay, it makes American foot-ball look pretty wimpy. Thephysicalness of the game isquite impressive.
A week after taking an un-expected dip in the SmithRiver while chasing photosof the duck race, my cameraappears none the worse forwear. I really was quite sur-prised that it worked laterthat weekend and am still ex-pecting it to die on me with-out any notice, but so far, sogood.
I rarely get into cable net-work shows or summer tele-vision in general, but I’ve en-joyed Royal Pains, which airson USA network on Thurs-day nights. While the prem-ise is a little weak, it’s a pret-
ty good show and has kept meentertained.
For anyone who might notknow, I play with the CatePark Band in Wolfeboroevery Wednesday night. Dur-ing my high school and col-lege years, the trumpet wasprobably the one thing thatdefined me and getting tocontinue to play in a relaxedatmosphere every week dur-ing the summer is a lot of fun.
On a related note, I tookmy trumpet to KingstonWinds in East Waterboro,Maine (on the recommenda-tion of Tuftonboro’s Joe Ew-ing) on Sunday morning tohave a small hole repaired inone of the slides and foundout that the instrument ismuch older that I knew. Ibought the horn when I wasa freshman in high school atthe urging of my band direc-tor, also a trumpet player. Hetold me it would be the besthorn I could every play andhe was right. However, after
Michelle Kingston did a littleresearch upon seeing thehorn, I know my trumpet isnot 35 to 40 years old, as Ithought, but closer to 50,which boggles my mind, as itstill works perfectly (minusthe tiny hole, of course.)
Finally, I offer up a note ofcongratulations to my cousinAdam on his recent engage-ment. His fiancée, Melissa, isgreat and fits in wonderfullywith out family and I look for-ward to the wedding at theend of the year. Surprisingly,it’s not during KingswoodHomecoming, as the last twoweddings I’ve been to havebeen.

Alton Legion squad finishes the season at 8-7BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
NEW DURHAM — TheAlton Post #72 Legion base-ball team was scheduled tofinish up its season on Tues-day, July 21, at home againstPlaistow.
However, the Plaistowteam evidently didn’t haveenough players to make thetrip, so they forfeited thegame to Alton, giving the local kids a victory and put-ting their record over .500
(July 11), we could’ve wonevery game.”
This was the first yearthat Legion baseball was di-vided into two divisions,changing the playoff formata bit.
He noted that the team’svast improvement over ayear ago was encouraging tosee and he was even morepleased to note that all buttwo of the players are eligi-ble to return to the squad ifthey choose to next season.
“And hopefully we’ll getsome more players interest-ed,” Noyes noted.
The only two currentplayers who won’t be able toplay next year are Kevin Leeand Casey Reed.
Noyes, who took over theLegion program last season,was pleased with the efforthe got from all his players, asthe team recorded its firstwinning season (8-7) andmade a gigantic leap for-ward from the past fewyears.
“We made a big step thisyear,” Noyes noted. “Hope-fully next year they’ll makean even bigger step.”
The veteran baseballmentor pointed out that ittook every player on theteam stepping up his gameat one point or another tohelp the team reach the lev-
els of success it found thisseason.
“A lot of players reallystepped their games up,”Noyes said. “You’re goingfrom facing Class M or I play-ers to facing some prettygood Class L players.
“If you look at the stateand you look at the teams, itsobvious you’re playing somepretty good teams,” Noyescontinued.
The Post #72 boys twiceknocked off the defendingstate champions fromPortsmouth. They alsopicked up one of the biggestwins in program historywhen they beat top-rankedLaconia Post 1 on July 15.
The team won four gamesin a row in the final week ofthe season, including come-from-behind wins overRochester and Portsmouth,both on the road, and theshellacking of Laconia, alsoon the road.
“With the number ofgames they played (in the fi-nal stretch), they just gotstronger every game,” Noyessaid after his team beat Plaistow on July 18 in whatwould be its final game ofthe season.
Noyes was joined in theLegion dugout this seasonby assistant coaches JeffRunnals and Tim DiPrizio.
for the season.However, Post #72 came
up just shy of making theplayoffs, despite a last-ditcheffort that saw the squad winthe last four games that itplayed, plus the forfeit win.

Farmington 13UAll-Stars fall toKeene in statetourney openerBY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
CONCORD — The 13UBabe Ruth state tournamentgot off to a tough start for theFarmington All-Stars on Sat-urday, July 25.
The Farmington kidswere dealt a tough matchupin the opening round, as theyfaced off with a talentedsquad of All-Stars fromKeene on the Doane Dia-mond at Concord’s Memori-al Field.
Seth Fogg got the start onthe mound for the Farming-ton All-Stars, a team featur-ing athletes from Farming-ton, Wakefield, New Durhamand Alton.
And despite some defen-sive miscues in the first fewinnings, the Farmingtonkids hung tough, as Foggpitched through the troublethe best that he could.
Keene scored once in thetop of the first inning, usinga Farmington error, a passedball, a groundout and a sac-rifice fly to plate the game’sfirst run.
However, Farmington an-swered right back in the bot-tom of the inning. AJ Val-ladares led off by reachingon an error and a base hit
from Kevin Radcliffe put tworunners on base. One out lat-er, Corey Wilson groundedback to the mound, with bothrunners moving up a base.Ike Morse followed with aninfield hit to tie the game atone.
Keene came right back inthe top of the second inningand took the lead again, witha leadoff double and a basehit accounting for the run.Ryan Scruton made a nicegrab in left field to end the in-ning and keep Keene fromscoring again.
Farmington went quicklyin the bottom of the secondand Keene was able to comeup with two more runs in thetop of the third.
A couple of errors and arundown that went awry ledto the first of the two runsand another error allowedthe second run to score, giv-ing the District One champsa 4-1 lead. However, Wilsonthrew out a runner trying tosteal second and Fogg struckout the final two batters toget out of the inning.
Farmington then closedthe gap a bit. With two outsin the bottom of the third,

WOLFEBORO — A visitorto Brewster Academy on Sat-urday afternoon, July 25,might have thought he took awrong turn and ended up inthe Land Down Under.
But alas, there were no kan-garoos and there was no Syd-ney Opera House.
What there was how-ever, was a fierce AustralianRules Football battle on amakeshift field outside Brew-ster Academy’s Smith Cen-ter on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee.
And, for good measure,there were plenty of Aus-tralian accents filling the af-ternoon air as well.
Brewster athletic directorDoug Algate, a native of Aus-tralia, has been bringing Aus-tralian Rules Football toWolfeboro for about 10 years,inviting members of theBoston Demons squad northfrom the city to play a game ortwo at his place of employ-ment and spend the night at his house, making for a so-cial weekend for the footballplayers.
The contest played onBrewster’s Fry Field wasn’t anofficial USAFL (United StatesAustralian Football Leage)game, but instead was a MetroFootball contest, which is ba-sically a game where newerplayers get the chance to learnthe game, while giving othersa chance to get more playing
time and practice for when theUSAFL games hit the field.
And for anyone who hasnever seen an AustralianRules Football game, it is tru-ly a sight to behold, makingit’s American counterpartlook like a game of bad-minton, or maybe croquet.
Australian Rules Footballis played on a field that is atleast 200 yards long, withmany fields reaching up to 220yards. The field is oval and isabout 160 yards wide at it’swidest point.
At each end of the fieldthere are four posts. The postson the makeshift Brewsterfield (which was much small-er than a regulation field),weren’t terribly high, but inthe professional league in Aus-tralia, the posts tower overthe field.
“The idea is to get down thefield as fast as you can,” Algatesaid, explaining the basicpoints of the game in an in-terview prior to Saturday’scontest. “If you get it downquickly, they can’t block it.”
The ball is moved down thefield in a couple of differentways. It can be kicked or hitdown the field. The hit looks alot like an underhand volley-ball serve. Players can runwith the ball, but if theychoose to do that, they have tobounce the ball every 15 yards.And the ball is not round, likea basketball or volleyball, butinstead is much like an Amer-ican football, but with round-
er edges, a lot like a ball usedin rugby.
If a player catches the ball(a mark), he gets a free kickand his guard has to stand off.If a ball fall loose to the groundat any point, it’s up for grabsand players will tackle, pull,stumble and do just about any-thing to get the ball back fortheir team.
The players then have tokick the ball through the up-right posts. If the ball is boot-ed between the two innerposts, it’s a goal and is worthsix points. If the ball goes be-tween the outside post and theinside post on either side, it’sworth one point. The ball doesnot have to go through the goalposts in the air, but can bebounced through. The profes-sional players in the Aus-tralian league have becomeadept at curling the ballthrough the uprights fromseemingly impossible angles.
A professional AustralianRules Football game features18 players per side, with theteams starting in a man-on-man format, meaning eachplayer shadows someone fromthe other team. The gamesplayed at Brewster on Satur-day featured smaller teams onthe field, with 11 playing perside, due in part to the smallersize of the field and to the num-ber of players available tomake the trip from Boston.
Down Under, the game isplayed on the same field as cricket and is incred-
ibly popular.“It is the most popular sport
in Australia, by far,” said Al-gate. There are 16 professionalteams in Australia, and theplayers are much differentthan the specialized playersAmerican are used to seeingon the field.
For the most part, Aus-tralian Rules Football playersare leaner than their Ameri-can football counterparts,with many of them built likeAmerican wide receivers.
Every player can kick andcatch the ball and they are allincredibly aerobically fit,which is necessary to playmore than an hour and a halfof football over the course offour quarters.
The Grand Final of the Aus-tralian Football League isplayed in front of 100,000 peo-ple at the stadium used for the1964 Olympics in Melbourne.
“The game is much morenon-stop,” said Algate, com-paring it to American football.
And the game has made its way to the United Statesand continues to grow in popularity.
There are currently morethan 40 teams in cities fromBoston to Seattle and Philadel-phia to Phoenix. Each year allthe teams get together for thenational tournament, beingheld this year outside Cincin-nati in October. And there isalso a women’s competitionbeginning as well.
The USAFL also puts to-
gether a National Team,which heads to Australiaevery other year with all oth-er non-Australian teams for abig competition between thebest players from around theworld.
Algate, who played semi-professionally when he wasback in Australia, is now a cer-tified umpire, and has um-pired at nationals in a gamebetween the US and Canada inHouston. He has also re-mained associated with theDemons, which allows him toput together the Wolfeborocompetition every year.
He looks at the nationaltournament as a great way tomeet other umpires and learnfrom what they have to say.
Additionally, Algate’s wife,Jen Fraser, became the firstwoman outside Australia to becertified as a boundary um-pire and a goal umpire. Algatedoes a lot of his work as fieldumpire.
“You do a lot of running,”he noted. That was evidenteven on the smaller field at Brewster Academy on Saturday.
The yearly sojourn toWolfeboro has become aunique event for the Bostonplayers and has even allowed
some locals to get in on the ac-tion, as former Brewster stu-dent Zack Ross took to the fieldfor Saturday’s contest be-tween the Boston Kremes andthe All-Stars, a team forgedout of players from two sepa-rate Metro teams. Originallythree teams were slated toplay, but travel obligationsforced two of those teams tomold into one for the after-noon.
“It’s become a social eventtoo,” Algate noted. “It letsthem get out of town for awhile.”
The competition on theBrewster field was pretty in-tense, as the two teams battledback and forth for every looseball, crawling across theground, all the while the wa-ters of Lake Winnipesaukeeand the Great Waters tent keptwatch.
While the surroundingsscreamed New Hampshire,the football screamed Aus-tralia and on one beautiful af-ternoon in the middle of NewEngland, the two came togeth-er for a while.And anyone whohappened to catch a few min-utes of the action certainlysaw that when it comes to foot-ball, Americans aren’t nearlyas tough as the Aussies.

Are you ready forsome Trouble?
Trouble
Judging the best woodpile? You’ve gotta be kidding…Drivers who take their
eyes off the middle of theroad can’t help noticing themyriad piles of firewood tak-ing shape in back yards,fields and driveways. In fact,most wood-burners alreadyhave their piles finished ornearly so, to let the hot windsof late summer and early fallwick moisture away for a eas-ier, hotter fire once the snowbegins to blow.
Some of these collectionsare, well, just heaps of wood.One school of piling opts forthe hay-mound approach.Not much originality in that,although you do see some-thing now and then inspired,like a mound in the shape ofa swirly cone.
With the more traditionalrectangular style, however,some pretty neat and unusu-al piles are possible, manydownright ingenious, someapproaching veritable worksof art. The unattributedcourtesy photo (taken fromthe Internet) accompanyingthis article is a stellar exam-ple. Those are honest-to-gosh
plain old pieces of firewoodin there, meticulously andartfully placed to form theimage of a fallen tree.
“This guy’s got way toomuch time on his hands,”you say? Well, maybe not.There can be beauty in manyforms of work, from plowinga field to painting a shed tobuilding a stonewall.
Some people do in facthave way too much time ontheir hands, and think upschemes to get newspapercolumnists into trouble. Afew weeks ago this e-mail arrived:
“John,“Here is an idea for you to
mull over. How about a wood-pile contest? Do a story aboutproper stacking of woodpilesand have people send in pic-tures and you choose whoseis typically best for a NewEngland woodpile. People re-ally take pride in the waythey stack wood. I know I do.
“This could cover severalweeks and I'll put up the win-ning prize. Lunch at TheMount Washington Hotel,you're included with yourwife. Let me know what youthink.
“Dan Horn, Lebanon,N.J.”
At first I thought "Hell no,I'm not going to get all thewood-be perfect wood-pilersout there mad at me." But onsecond thought I figured thatit was actually a pretty goodidea. So I saved Dan’s ex-change, mulled it over, andhere it is.
There truly are a lot ofhandsomely piled, carefullycreated stacks of wood outthere, snaking along lawns,driveways, shed walls andfencelines.
Readers, I beckon you to
go forth with camera in handand photograph what youthink is an outstandinglyneat, creative job of pilingfirewood, preferably withwhoever did the stacking onthe pile, in front of the pile,or somewhere near it.
Send your entries with ajpeg image to me, along withyour name and the piler’s ad-dress, town and telephone
number, to [email protected].
Dan Horn and I will selectwhat we think are the besthalf-dozen or so and maybetake a drive some sunny daysoon to get a better and final-izing look. Look for the Offi-cial Wood-Pile Judge-Mobilein your yard (just kidding).
Dan and I will indeed treatthe creators of the winning
pile (limit: two people) to din-ner at the Mount WashingtonHotel at beautiful, centrallylocated Bretton Woods, andI’ll devote a column to someof the best entries afterward.
