Westward Shores Campground plans five hundred

campsites on Ossipee LakeBY CAROL HOLYOAKE

Contributing Writer

OSSIPEE — Big plans are underway on the western shores of Os-sipee Lake to expand the Westward Shores Campground & Marina (WSCM) by doubling the number of camp sites from 258 to 522. Nestled into a 308 acre flood plain along the shores of the lake and the Bear-camp River, over a third of those acres are wet-lands and deemed by the state to be the “Highest Ranked Habitat in New Hampshire.” This is habitat that exists in the best ecological condition based on biodiversity, arrangement of habitat types on the landscape, and lack of human im-pacts.

CAROL HOLYOAKE

GEORGE FERDETTE and Dan Flores from SFC Engineering Partnership presented these plans to the Ossipee ZBA showing the proposed expansion to Westward Shores Campground and Marina. The ZBA approved the special exception needed. The next step is a site plan review by the plan-ning bord on Tuesday, May 17, at 7 p.m. at the Freight House in Center Ossipee.

Ossipee Lake is the center of a watershed that begins with rain and snow falling on the near-by mountains and lands, and collecting in the many rivers and streams that run in and out the lake, eventually ending

up in the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of a larger area that sits atop one of the biggest and rarest strati-fied aquifers in the coun-try – a source of pure water that is taken for granted for as we turn on

OSSIPEE — Plans to expand the Westward Shores Campground & Marina have been be-fore the Ossipee zoning and planning boards since the beginning of the year. The complex applications before the town and the state are

Ossipee selectmen consider a junk ordinanceBY CAROL HOLYOAKE

Contributing Writer

OSSIPEE — Over the years numerous complaints have been brought to selectmen and town boards regarding the definition of trash or treasure accumulation

on personal property. While the zoning ordi-nance has some articles that relate to health safe-ty, landscape buffers, and the permitted num-ber of “special vehicles,” for the most part, the town has not been able to

require that properties are maintained to a par-ticular aesthetic value. That may all be about to change.

At Monday’s select-men’s meeting a resident on Leisure Drive was granted a tax abatement

over claims that the ap-pearance of an abutting property had reduced the value of his home due to excess debris and over-all poorly-maintained condition. The town as-sessor investigated and

BROOKFIELD AND WAKEFIELD — If you have been to downtown Sanbornville recently you have noticed the work being done on the former Dow Academy building. That building and the renovated Tum-bledown Cafe next to it are owned by David Gut-tadauro, a Brookfield resident who has not only brought new eco-nomic life to both Brook-field and Wakefield, but has even bigger plans for future ventures in both towns.

Commissioners not disposed to require hunting

permits on county landBY MELLISA SEAMANS

Contributing Writer

OSSIPEE — Can local hunters carry on as they have done for decades or will the county commis-sioners adopt a policy to regulate a problem that doesn’t exist?

At their May 3 com-missioner’s meeting, Carroll County Admin-istrator Ken Robichaud presented the two com-missioners present with a draft policy and application, asking that they consider requiring hunters to get a permit before hunting on the county’s 800 acres. The policy, Robichaud said, is based on the Straf-ford County policy and contains common sense rules including that “you can’t be running by the jail with a gun in your hand.” Currently, the massive spread of county-owned land in Ossipee is open to hunt-ing and other recre-ational activities with-out special permission.

“We should have a certain procedure so we know who is hunting on our land and that they’re

not using high powered rifles 200 feet from the building, you know. It should be shotgun only. And if people want to put up a tree stand it needs to be taken down after the season’s done. We don’t want tree stands left in our trees for five or six years or aban-doned,” Robichaud said. He admitted in his nine months on the job as ad-ministrator he has nev-er seen anyone hunting on county property but knows they do, and this was confirmed by Com-missioner David Bab-son.

While Robichaud asked the commission-ers to review the policy for further discussion at the May 24 meeting, Bab-son seemed to have al-ready made up his mind. Babson, an Ossipee resi-dent who owns property abutting county proper-ty, told Robichaud, “I’m going to oppose any kind of permitting system here. With the experi-ence I have the hunters and snowmobilers of are the best stewards of my (private) land. We’ve had hunting going on here

Ossipee Tractor Supply shows

families how to "Get Growing"

OSSIPEE — Tractor Supply Company in Os-sipee at 901 Route 16 is inviting parents to un-lock the hidden poten-tial of their back yard with a family garden.

To introduce chil-dren to the joy of grow-ing food in their back-yard, Tractor Supply is hosting Get Growing, a five-day gardening event from May 11 to 15. During the main event on Saturday, May 14, the store will feature a "first seed" station for children to plant a seed, take it home and watch it grow.

The Get Growing event will also feature community groups and activities, includ-ing pet vaccinations (from 4 to 5:30 p.m.) and UNH Cooperative Extension "Get Grow-ing" Booth (from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.).

"A lifetime of gar-dening can begin with a simple bean seed; it's fun to watch a child plant a seed into soil for the first time and know they'll soon have a

sprout," said Cindi Le-rmond, manager of the Ossipee Tractor Sup-ply store. "It's a hobby that instills a lifelong appreciation for where our food comes from and brings families to-gether through hard work and great-tasting food."

Tractor Supply Co. carries all the supplies a family needs to grow a garden, including mulches, live plants, regular and organ-ic seeds, and garden tools.

Contact the Ossipee Tractor Supply store at 539-2736 for additional details about the Get Growing gardening event.

Milton Three Ponds. A picnic lunch will be pro-vided at the paddle des-tination on Branch Hill Farm property.

The day will begin with a brief introduc-tion to aquatic habitat and water quality by John Magee, habitat biologist of the Inland Fisheries Division of NH Fish & Game. Magee has worked more than 20 years in the field of aquatic ecology and is an expert on stream cross-ings and stream resto-ration. His recent work focuses on fish ecolo-gy and fish habitat in streams and the effects of aquatic herbicides on native and non-native plants and water quality.

He conducts in-the-field research on wild brook trout and lake water quality and works with organizations to help protect and con-serve New Hampshire's precious aquatic habi-tats and animals. Magee will talk about aquatic habitat needs of fish and wildlife in the Branch River and its tributar-ies, and work being done across the state to res-toration these habitats and riverine processes, including techniques such as instream wood restoration.

A few paddle stops are also planned en route for participants to learn more about and appreci-ate these beautiful and precious environs. Ma-

gee will point out spe-cial ecological features and aspects of wildlife habitat and MMRG staff member Virginia Long will share observations of song birds and oth-er birds that inhabit and enliven the stream banks. Paddlers in previ-ous years have enjoyed sightings of orioles and ospreys.

Paddlers should bring their own kayaks or ca-noes and wear US Coast Guard approved per-sonal flotation devices. Transportation for par-ticipants and their boats will be provided back to the parking/boat put-in site. Children should be 12 years or older and ac-companied by an adult.

This event is extreme-ly popular so be sure to sign up early. All reser-vations must be made by May 26.

WAKEFIELD SCHOOL REPORT

BY PRISCILLA COLBATH

Contributing Writer

WAKEFIELD — The Wakefield School Board met on May 4th. After the manifest and min-utes of the previous meetings were approved this reporter asked why the Superintendent’s Vi-sion Statement wasn’t on the agenda.

After no one an-swered, Bonnie Cyr said that she had brought copies of the current Vi-sion Statement for board members to review. Un-fortunately the one she had was superseded by a newer version. Super-intendent Tursi offered to read the current state-men,t but the topic was put on the next agenda.

It was also discovered that the board cannot have a public hearing to expend funds from a capital reserve fund pri-or to the money becom-ing available, therefore another public hearing must be held to expend the funds approved in March for roof repair and replacement.

Chairman Norma Joy asked if there were any plans to add another teacher to the 4th grade. Tursi said there were no plans to move a teacher to grade 4 and that this is a bubble grade and they would have to move a

teacher every year. Joy asked if we would be in compliance with square footage required per stu-dent. Tursi replied that we would be in compli-ance. The rooms in the modular are just short of 900 square feet. (NH Code of Administrative Rule 321.10 states: “For the elementary and mid-dle schools, a general purpose classroom shall provide a minimum of 900 square feet, including storage, or 36 square feet per child, whichever is greater.” 29 students x 36 sq. ft. equals 1044 sq. ft.)

The bus repair was put on the next agenda.

The School Board Goals were, once again, put on the next agenda.

Ballfield bid openings were put on the next agenda. The contractors do not want to drive over the first field and the playground to get to the back field because it would leave permanent ruts. The school owns a right-of-way from She-lia Lane which has nev-er been opened. More discussion and recom-mendations are needed. Board member Relf Fogg offered help in establish-ing a right-of-way/road-way to the ballfield at no cost to the district. There was no action of Fogg’s offer.

Cyr recused herself from the School Board Scholarship decision as her son is a candidate. The rest of the board voted on the unsigned essays and determined a winner who will be an-nounced at a later date.

The board recessed the meeting to enter into a Joint Board meeting with Milton where they discussed the SAU build-ing lease and plans for an interim superinten-dent search. Joint Board Chairman Bob Ouellette announced that Tursi will not be signing his contract for the 2016-2017 school year.

After the meeting with Milton the board entered non-public session un-der 91-A:3:II (c) (“Matters which, if discussed in public, would like affect adversely the reputation of any person of than a member of the public body itself...). After the board exited non-public session Cyr asked Tursi to set up a presentation with SchoolCare to learn about the yellow plan health insurance option.

The Wakefield Board will meet with the Milton Board on May 11th at 7 p.m. in Milton. They will hear a presentation by MRI and discuss all op-tions to replace the super-intendent for one year.

School Board meet-ings are held on the first and third Wednesdays of the month in the Paul School library. The meet-ings can be viewed on ClearViewtv3.org or on the new ClearViewtv3 Facebook page.

Writers' Night features poet Mimi White and artist

Magi LelandEFFINGHAM — On

Thursday evening, May 19, Writers' Night is pleased to feature award-winning poet Mimi White and artist Magi Leland at 7 p.m. in the meeting room of the Effingham Public Library for an evening of poetry, songs, stories and a celebration of cre-ativity in the arts.

White, poet and teach-er, has been working for more than 25 years with students of all ages to help them create origi-nal and authentic work, be it poetry, memoir or non-fiction writing. She has worked in a vari-ety of settings including schools, libraries, pris-ons, residencies for the elderly, and universities.

She has been a mem-ber of the faculty at the University of New Hampshire, Northern Essex Community Col-lege, and Lesley Univer-sity. Her poems have been published in dozens of journals. They include Poetry, Harvard Review, West Branch, The Seattle Review, The Worcester Review and Rivendell, Field and 5 AM.

White is the author of two chapbooks of poetry, Into The Darkness We Go and The Singed Hori-zon, which was selected by Robert Creeley as the recipient of the 2000 Phil-brick Poetry Award. She has been a finalist and a recipient of a NH State Fellowship in Poetry. She was poet laureate of Portsmouth from 2005-07.

Deerbrook Editions published her first full-length book, “The Last

Island,” in 2008 which was awarded the 2009 Jane Kenyon Award for Outstanding Poetry. Her 2012 publication, “Mem-ory Won’t Save Me” (Deerbrook Editions). was nominated for a Pushcart Award. White's most recent book of poet-ry, “The world Disguised as This One,” is a collec-tion of Tanka, an ancient Japanese form that pre-dates the haiku, taking images from nature and recasting them through the personal lens.

Artist Magi Leland owned her own gold-smith/manufacturing business for more than 10 years before embark-ing in careers in natu-ral healing and fine art painting. A Reiki practi-tioner and soprano with Magi Voices From the Heart, Leland writes po-etry and creates art with several New England poets. She exhibits her work in New England and on Martha’s Vine-

yard. Leland writes, “I have merged my love of natural places with my background in design and anthropology to fan artistic perspective rich in subject, color and tex-ture. Curiosity opens the door to artistic chal-lenges and observation leads me to greater un-derstanding of my mus-es. If I am able to convey what excites me about my subjects, then I feel my paintings are suc-cessful.”

MMRG guided walks educate public about trees and forestry

MILTON — Moose Mountains Regional Greenways recently offered the public two opportunities to enjoy a Saturday morning guid-ed walk in the woods while learning more about native trees and forests.

These popular events, with about 30 partic-ipants each, were led by consulting forester Charlie Moreno, who manages the Milton for-est lands of Branch Hill Farm, and by John Wal-lace and Charlie Tatham of the NH Big Tree Pro-gram.

Moreno discussed forestry techniques de-signed to create a healthy forest that enhances the value of the trees for tim-ber while providing hab-itat for diverse animal species. He demonstrat-ed how he identifies and flags trees to cut for ei-ther timber, pulp, or fire-wood and then showed log piles of the three

how a red pine can grow on an outcrop of ledge and how the edges of fields support a variety of healthy trees where light is more accessible. At the close of the walk, a smaller group of die-hards continued to hunt out a few more trees, locating a rare balsam, witch-hazel, and a large but not record-breaking striped maple.

Branch Hill Farm/the Carl Siemon Chari-table Trust co-sponsored the walk led by Charlie Moreno on Branch Hill Farm forest land in Mil-ton and landowners Rod-ney and Judy Thompson graciously made their land open to the public for the Tree ID walk. MMRG thanks the busi-ness sponsors of these events, Jones Brook LLP and Norway Plains.

MMRG, a non-prof-it land trust, works to conserve and connect important water re-sources, farm and forest lands, wildlife habitats, and recreational land in Brookfield, Farmington, Middleton, Milton, New Durham, Wakefield, and Wolfeboro. Throughout the year, MMRG offers many educational op-portunities to inform all ages about the benefits of our region’s natural resources. For more in-formation and a calen-dar of upcoming events, visit www.mmrg.info. Branch Hill Farm/the Carl Siemon Family Charitable Trust works to protect open space and working forests and to educate the public about sound forestry, conser-vation and agricultural practices; see www.bran-chillfarm.org.

Come learn how you can conserve your land permanently for sce-nic enjoyment, wild-life, farming, forestry, and/or recreation. Tom Howe, senior director of Land Conservation at the Forest Society, will discuss how to set up a permanent conser-vation agreement (“con-servation easement”) for land you continue to own, and when you might want to convey outright ownership of your land. You’ll also learn how you can meet your financial as well as conservation objectives, via possible tax savings and/or cash sale. Tom will help you figure out which conservation group to work with, how the process works, and whom to contact for pos-sible next steps. Finally, you’ll leave with prac-tical ideas and written materials to help you leave your mark on the landscape that we all ap-

preciate and love. This evening presentation is co-sponsored by the Green Mountain Conser-vation Group (GMCG) in partnership with the Society for Protection of New Hampshire Forests and is open to the pub-lic. Suggested donation of $10/person will cov-er costs for handouts. Please join us at the Freedom Village Store, Freedom, from 7-9 p.m. on Wednesday, July 20. For more information please call GMCG at 539-1859 or visit the website at www.gmcg.org.

types. He prefers to use a fairly light weight John Deere 440 skidder that is less likely to compact soils than newer heavier equipment.

Moreno also led the group to several careful-ly planned timber cuts in order to show the seed

trees, cover trees, wild-life trees, and multi-age trees of various species that were left intact, while removing inva-sive plants. A new trail along the Branch Riv-er demonstrated how a carefully managed forest preserves wildlife habi-

tat. The group observed several vernal pools, a porcupine nest high in a tree with a pile of fresh droppings below, pile-ated woodpecker holes in a hardwood tree, and some beaver activity.

Wallace and Tatham showed participants

how to identify various tree species as well as how to measure a tree for the NH Big Tree record. Ways to distinguish be-tween white or yellow birch and black birch in-clude the distinct “win-tergreen” scent and fla-vor of black birch twigs when they are snapped off. Black birch is a high value tree for firewood, containing more BTUs than oak. Red oak gets its name from the red color that frequently appears on the trunk be-tween plates of the bark, but the coloration actu-ally comes from a fungus that is symbiotic with red oak only. Not all red oak trees have this fungus so some trees are missing the red color but can be easily identified by their leaves during leaf season.

Wallace and Tatham also talked about how terrain and soil type af-fect the predominant trees species and forest types. They pointed out

KNOWLEDGE GIVES SOCIETY THE POWER TO ADVANCE.

PICK UP A NEWSPAPER


If you have a medical appointment this week, you might want to wish your nurse a happy National Nurses Week. This annual event is designed to celebrate the important role nurses play in health care. Of course, while nurses and doctors can help you in many ways, you can do a lot of good for yourself by adopting healthy living habits, such as eating right, exercising frequently, and so on. But you can also do much to help your financial health.

Here are a few suggestions:• Stay invested. During

times of market volatility, it can be temping to head to the investment “sidelines” until things “cool off.” Going to the sidelines can mean a few different things – you could simply not invest anything for a while, or you could move a substantial portion of your portfolio to “cash” instruments, which are safe in the sense of preserving your principal but offer almost nothing in the way of return or protecting against inflation. If you’re not investing during a market downturn, or if you’ve moved heavily into cash,

you might well miss out on the beginning of the next market rally.

• Rebalance your portfolio. It’s a good idea to periodically rebalance your portfolio to make sure it still reflects your goals and your comfort level with risk. Over time, and without any effort on your part, your portfolio can become unbalanced. For example, following a long “bull” market, the value of your stocks could have risen to the point where they make up a greater percentage of your portfolio than you had intended. When that happens, you may need to rebalance by adding bonds and other fixed-income vehicles.

•Diversify. Rebalancing is important. But a balanced portfolio should also be a diversified portfolio. If you only owned one type of financial asset, such as U.S. growth stocks, you could take a big hit during a market downturn. But different types of financial assets don’t always move in the same direction at the same time, so by owning a wide variety of investments – U.S. stocks, international stocks, government securities,

corporate bonds, real estate, certificates of deposit (CDs) and so on – you may help reduce the effects of market volatility on your portfolio. Keep in mind, though, that diversification by itself can’t guarantee profits or protect against loss.

• Maintain realistic expectations. If you expect the financial markets to always move upward, you will be disappointed many times. Market downturns are a normal part of the investment process, and they will always be with us. Once you accept this reality, you will be less likely to make questionable decisions, such as abandoning a long-term strategy. If you’ve designed an appropriate strategy, possibly with the help of a financial professional, you can stick with it through all market environments.

By following the suggestions mentioned above – staying invested, rebalancing your portfolio as needed, diversifying your holdings and maintaining realistic expectations, you can go a long way toward maintaining the fitness of your financial situation.

Here’s How to Keep Your Portfolio Healthy

Chocorua Lake Conservancy hires first full-time employee

CHOCORUA — Al-most 50 years after its founding, the Choc-orua Lake Conservan-cy has hired its first full-time employee.

The Chocorua Lake Conservancy is excited to welcome Lynne Flac-cus to the position of stewardship director. Flaccus will be respon-sible for advancing the stewardship program of the conservancy, which is responsible for managing or stew-arding 3,800 acres of protected land in the

Chocorua Lake Basin.Flaccus has exten-

sive experience work-ing with landowners on conservation strat-egies for their lands, mapping, educational programs, stewardship of conservation lands and trails, interpretive trail creation, man-aging volunteers, and drafting conservation plans and conservation easements.

Flaccus brings to the Chocorua Lake Conser-vancy almost 30 years of experience in land

conservation and stew-ardship, managing protected properties, studying wildlife, and educating adults and children. Most recent-ly, she served as edu-cation and stewardship specialist at Midcoast Conservancy (Wiscas-set, Maine), where she was the point person for all stewardship ac-tivities. Flaccus spent the prior five years as programs manag-er at the Sheepscot Valley Conservation Association (Newcas-tle, Maine), where she implemented a wide range of stewardship and conservation pro-grams, and natural his-tory education.

From 1988 to 2011, Flaccus worked at the Chewonki Foundation (Wiscasset, Maine) as a teacher and head naturalist. At Che-wonki, she served as a wilderness trip leader and led many extended canoe trips for youth throughout Maine and Canada with her hus-band Greg. She holds a B.S. in wildlife ecology from the University of Vermont.

Flaccus has a life-long connection with the Chocorua area. She spent her child-hood summers and many vacations at her grandmother’s house in Tamworth, of which she is now a co-own-er. She devoted much of her youth and early adult years exploring, hiking, fishing, and canoeing throughout Chocorua, Tamworth and the Sandwich Range. After college, she lived and worked in the area for four years.

Flaccus says, “There has always been a spe-cial spot in my heart for Tamworth and the Chocorua Lake area.”

Many of Conser-vancy’s conservation covenants date from the early days of land conservation in New Hampshire and the United States. The cre-ation of conservation covenants represented a pioneering and her-culean effort on the part of the Conservan-cy’s founders.

This stewardship di-rector position is par-tially funded through generous grants from the Tamworth Founda-tion, the New England Grass Roots Founda-tion, the Davis Conser-vation Foundation and the Norcross Wildlife Foundation.

This is Carroll County THE 2016 NH SPRING WILD TURKEY SEASON is off to a productive start for many. The season remains open May 3 through May 31 statewide. Last spring, according to NH Fish and Game, 4,000 turkeys were taken. Officials anticipate that this could be a record spring hunting season. “Last year’s hatching success and survival of turkey poults was good because of dry spring weather. Going into the winter months, turkeys found food

readily available because of the bare ground,” according to a NH F&G press release. As of this press time, there was no available data regarding the number of turkeys taken since the May 3 opening day. Three local hunters tagged out in the first days of the season. Pictured here are Scott Seamans of North Carolina (formerly of Effingham), his brother Christopher Seamans of Effingham, and their cousin Eric Seamans of Effingham. More information about turkey hunting in New Hampshire can be found at the NH Fish and game website at www.wildlife.state.nh.us/hunting/turkey.html.

INDEPENDENT& Pioneer • Est. 1859

FRANK CHILINSKI, Publisher THOMAS BEELER, Editor

Editorials, while unsigned, represent a consensus of the views of the editorial board of the Granite State

News and Carroll County Independent.

Trust, but verifyThe expression, “trust, but verify” comes from

a Russian proverb. It was made famous by Presi-dent Ronald Reagan during his successful attempt to open relations with the Soviet Union between 1984 and 1987.

It has come into common usage that means, according to Wikipedia, “a form of advice given which recommends that while a source of infor-mation might be considered reliable, one should perform additional research to verify that such information is accurate, or trustworthy.”

It certainly should be a watchword today in our national politics where politicians make state-ments of apparent fact that, when checked, turn out to be half-truths at best and simply not sup-ported by fact at worst.

Here in Carroll County, in Ossipee, we are be-ing reminded of how the proverb applies even in local zoning deliberations. As our correspondent Carol Holyoake reports on our front page this week, some statements made by George Ferdette from SFC Engineering Partnership on behalf of the campground owners, Michigan-based North-gate Resorts to the Ossipee Zoning Board of Ad-justment on March 8 in support of a request for a special zoning exception have failed the verifica-tion process. Holyoake writes, “Purportedly, sev-eral organizations that SFC said they had been in contact with and had support from with regards to their ZBA special exception, have denied such contact and will be demanding a retraction from SFC, a correction to the minutes, and possibly a revoking of the granted special exception.”

The project under review by the ZBA and now the Ossipee planning board is a major expansion of the existing Westward Shores Campground & Marina on Ossipee Lake, a key natural resource for both Ossipee and Freedom, The developers propose to more than double the number of camp sites from 258 to 522. While few question the right of the owner/developers to undertake such a ma-jor project, many have very legitimate concerns about the potential negative impact on the lake if the project is not well designed and carefully built. Ossipee Lake is not only a major recreation-al asset for both towns it also sits on top of the largest stratified drift aquifer in our area. Poor plans and/or execution would not only depress property values on the lake (and thus lower a ma-jor source of property tax revenues for both Free-dom and Ossipee) but could hurt tourism and the major watch source for thousands of people.

It is troubling that issues of trust have aris-en in this project. We would like to believe ques-tions about the statements made will be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction, but such doubts breed mistrust and provoke a higher level of scrutiny of the project than there would be otherwise.

Paying closer attention and asking more ques-tions is actually a good thing. While we don’t think it is good for anyone to be against anything that increases economic activity, all local boards need to remember that Russian proverb and not accept statements as facts without verifying them.

Or, as our own pioneering American folk hero Davy Crockett said, “Be always sure you’re right – then go ahead.”

Speaking of pioneers

A major reason why this country continues to be a world leader in so many areas is that Amer-ica produces more pioneers and ground-breakers than any other country.

This week we urge you to read our story about what Brookfield’s David Guttadauro is up to in his own town and in Wakefield. This man is passion-ate about making our part of the world and New Hampshire a better, more self-sufficient place to live and raise our children, and he has literally put his money where his mouth is investing is both agricultural development on his farm and the farms of many others in Carroll County and in creating a restaurant and general store to bring the fruits of those farms profitably to market.

At a time of economic stagnation when most of us feel left behind by globalization, Guttadauro is trying to forge a path to self-reliance that is truly inspiring, and he openly invites others to join him in this effort.

Carroll County will be a much better place if more follow his lead and invest their resources where they live.

Letters to the editort

Erl McLetchie will be missedTo the Editor:

It was with a very heavy heart that I read of the passing of my friend and mentor, Erl McLetchie.

Erl wasn’t just my boss, he was also my friend. Although he always seemed to be extremely busy, all it took was a knock on his door and he always greeted you with a smile and kindness, no matter the situation. He was never too busy to answer a question or to just have a conversation if some-thing seemed to be bothering you. He always took the time no matter how busy he was.

Erl was a friend to everyone who came into con-tact with him. And believe me, he had many friends who loved and respected him.

When I first went into my own business, taping depositions for the attorneys, needless to say I was very nervous not knowing how my first deposition

would go. I was hired by a large law firm in Laco-nia.

When I got to the lawyer’s office, I saw that Erl was the attorney on the other side. Whew, what a relief to have Erl there. I immediately gave a big sigh of relief to myself knowing that if Erl was there, I was in good hands and had nothing to wor-ry about. He made it that much easier for me.

I have many cherished memories of my good friend which I shall never forget. I just loved work-ing for Erl. He was down to earth and set you at ease no matter the situation. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

My heart goes out to all of Erl’s family. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

BY OSSIPEE LAKE ALLIANCE STAFF

Freedom and Ossipee

The results of a May meeting will signal whether the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development (DRED) can keep its coali-tion of state and local stakeholders working together as state funds dwindle and trespassing and vandal-ism increase at Ossipee Lake Natural Area.

Eight years after DRED launched an ambitious plan to bring state and local resources together to balance competing interests at Ossipee Lake Natural Area, some local stakeholder groups worry the plan is in danger of unraveling.

Chief among the complaints on the lake is a de-cline in law enforcement that has resulted in open vi-olations of the state’s site-use regulations, and what appear to be attempts to destroy some of the proper-ty’s rare plants and plant communities.

The lack of enforcement is the result of the with-drawal of Marine Patrol officers from the Natural Area beat, according to Sabrina Stanwood, admin-istrator of DRED’s Natural Heritage Bureau, which oversees the property.

In an email to Ossipee Lake Alliance, Stanwood said the Department of Safety Services cited two rea-sons for its withdrawal last year: budget cuts and a lack of support from state courts in upholding Ma-rine Patrol citations issued to boaters who violate the statutes governing use of the property.

Marine Patrol’s withdrawal left enforcement mat-ters to DRED’s Forest Rangers, who had their own challenges. Until last year, DRED did not have a boat available to access the property. Then, according to Stanwood, the Ranger responsible for the Natural Area retired, creating a job opening that took months to fill. Last year’s busy fire season kept the replace-ment Ranger on the road and off the lake.

Boaters reactBy mid-summer, the boaters who serve on the Nat-

ural Area Working Group, which helps advise the state on the property’s management, were furious. With no visible enforcement on site, visitors began ignoring the ‘no trespassing’ signs and eventual-ly ripped them down—and then ripped them down again after they were replaced.

Fences were cut, plants were torn out of the sand as if to destroy them, and litter began to accumu-late. By August, observers said the property began to look and feel like it did prior to the management plan, when hundreds of boaters spread across the fragile shoreline for barbeques and parties promoted through social media.

For the boaters volunteering to help make the management plan a success, the withdrawal of state law enforcement was disheartening. Having spent years educating their fellow boaters and working with Marine Patrol officers to keep order at the site, the state’s seeming willingness to walk away and cede all progress was a slap in the face, as one boater put it.

In his resignation from the DRED Working Group, Totem Pole Park boater Dennis Gould told the state simply “I along with other volunteers have stopped ‘policing’ Long Sands and Short Sands this year, and we no longer approach boaters to give them rule brochures.”

Richard Lover, another boater and long-time Working Group volunteer, wrote to DRED to say “a law is only as good as it is enforced.” Lover is still a Working Group member but responded to DRED’s recent request for cleanup help this sea-son by saying “I must tell you that after reading the email you sent out, I did not get any warm and fuzzy feelings from it.”

Lack of timely informationCompounding the lack of enforcement is a lack

of timely information from the state. The first in-kling that Marine Patrol had abandoned the Nat-ural Area came from a Working Group member of the boating community who contacted DRED’s Stanwood on July 13 to ask if the rumors were true.

Ossipee Lake Alliance followed up on the re-quest for information by email on July 23 and September 1. But it took until September 11 for DRED to acknowledge that inter-agency enforce-ment—one of the cornerstones of the manage-ment plan—had collapsed at the beginning of the season. Moreover, a request for information about the annual number of citations issued by Marine Patrol officers revealed that DRED’s most current information was from 2013.

“The enforcement issue is a core problem that DRED needs to address in order to keep the Nat-ural Area coalition alive,” said the Alliance’s David Smith. “There are a number of component parts to the issue, but fixing it starts with bet-ter and more timely access to information so it can be used to proactively address issues as they arise.”

Lake capacity questionsThere are other major challenges ahead. This

year the Natural Area management plan will be further challenged by N.H. Fish & Game’s expan-sion of its public boat ramp on Route 25 in Os-sipee, a project that could bring hundreds of ad-ditional day-boaters to the big lake through Pine River, which abuts the Natural Area.

Even more worrisome to lake residents and environmental groups is the proposed expansion of Westward Shores Campground & Marina. The financially troubled business was purchased in December by a Michigan company that plans to double the current capacity of the business with increased campsites and boat slips.

“The question of the lake’s capacity to handle a larger influx of day-boaters is a good one,” says John Shipman, who represents Green Mountain Conservation Group on DRED’s Working Group.

In a recent email to DRED he went on to ask about the owners of Westward Shores: “Could the applicant be required by DRED to provide this analysis since balancing natural resources with economic development seems to fall within their purview?”

DRED’s annual meeting for Working Group members is on Saturday, May 21, from 9 to 11 a.m. in the Micah Room at Calumet Conference Center in Freedom. The forum is for members only but is open to the public, and questions will be permitted at the end of the meeting.

(Directly behind the General Wolf Laundry)

for the restaurant, then and now, was to offer a creative menu derived from locally grown and sourced ingredients, in-cluding eggs, chicken and beef from his Tum-bledown Farm in Brook-field as well as produce, fish and meat from oth-er local sources such as Alan Frederickson's Top of the Hill Farm in Wolfeboro.

One of the factors that doomed earlier at-tempts at a restaurant in that space was that they were too small, offering too few seats to produce the revenue needed to be viable in the long term. Even though Guttadau-ro is definitely a back-to-the-land proponent and advocate of both farm-ing and self-sufficiency, he is a firm believer in making any venture he is involved in work eco-nomically for all parties involved. In short, he wants to build his busi-ness and the other busi-nesses already in Wake-field on a solid profitable basis that will reward not only the business owners but those who work for them.

In the restaurant business volume is im-portant: you not only need a tasty menu with good prices and great service, you also need to attract enough cus-tomers to provide a solid cash flow.

With that in mind Gut-tadauro set about joining the two buildings to ex-pand the restaurant and the parking available to customers. He closed the restaurant in December 2014 for the winter to do an extensive renova-tion, and the expanded

restaurant opened for breakfast, lunch and dinner in June 2015 with 125 seats and, judging from the number of cus-tomers seen on a recent Friday evening, he is fill-ing all of them. His next step with the cafe will be to add another 65 seats to bring the total to 180, hopefully by June 1.

As the restaurant has expanded, so has the menu. The list of appe-tizers alone boasts 16 items, from a “Shrimp & Farm Raised Tumble-down Sausage Skewer” to “Tumbledown Pork Sliders” to a “Giant Loaded Baked Potato.” Also included among the appetizers in the “Grazing” sectionof the menu are traditional items done large, in-clude shrimp cocktail, “wicked good” nachos, chicken wings in five flavors, honey buffalo chicken tenders, friend calamari, sweet potato fries, onion rings, pota-to skins and bruschet-

ta. Other special items include baked brie, sauteed mussels and a mixed kabob trio.

The menu also in-cludes farm-fresh salads and soups made from scratch, including Tum-bledown chili; hefty half-pound hamburg-ers served five different ways, with gluten-free rolls available, fried sea-food (calamari, clams, haddock, scallops and shrimp), Angus strip steaks, steak tips, St. Louis BBQ ribs, baked seafoods and pan-seared salmon. There is even a five-cheese mac and cheese entree and on Fri-day and Saturday nights prime rib is served. Fi-nally there is a six-item “North End” Italian menu and a full line of sandwiches for light eat-ers.

Soon Guttadauro will add brick oven pizza made in a true Italian brick oven – the only one in New Hampshire made in Italy.

The décor of the restaurant is rustic and comfortably informal, echoing the atmosphere in the nearby Poor Peo-ple's Pub, but featuring lots of antiques, old signs and prints and well-used farm implements. A long bar provides easygoing seating for individuals and couples, but there are also booths and ta-bles to accommodate parties of almost any size. Also like the Pub, families with children are welcome.

The cafe is located at 21 Meadow St. in San-bornville and open Mon-day through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Most likely to greet you is Cheryl Scott, a Wolfeboro resident coming from a career in finance who is also Guttadauro's fiancé and manages the cafe.

You can also preview the menu on the Tumble-down Cafe page on Face-book.

More to comeGuttaduaro has al-

ready moved onto the next phase of his project, which is to convert the former Dow Academy building into a general store, gallery/antique shop and ice cream par-lor.

The building has been completely gutted inside and Guttadauro is in the process of replacing the doors with antique, Victorian-era doors ac-quired in Vermont.

The general store on the first floor will be roughly modeled on Calef's General store in Barrington, N.H. which for many who have lived in this state has become a must-visit destination that features homemade breads and cheeses, lo-cally grown fresh fruits and produce, cider, pickles and odd old-fash-ioned merchandise.

The gallery on the sec-ond floor will offer both exhibits and antiques to purchase – the fruits of Guttadauro's own ad-ventures in antique col-

lecting as well as pieces from others.

The ice cream par-lor will offer not only a broad selection of flavors and types of ice cream but also inside and out-side patio seating to en-joy the cones, sundaes and other treats.

His goal is to have the store and parlor up and running early this sum-mer.

Together the cafe, store and parlor will create a destination for visitors and residents alike – a reason to come to Sanbornville – that Guttadauro hopes will prompt others to open their own businesses to serve those coming to town. Just as the cafe will generate foot traffic for the ice cream par-lor and store, he hopes others will give visitors more reasons to come into town – and return often.

His cafe also employs up to 60 people directly and he estimates that up to 100 other jobs have been created indirectly among suppliers as well as the local contractors who have been doing his renovations. He es-timates that his invest-ment so far – up to $1 million – will help stim-ulate a growth in jobs throughout the area.

Guttadauro believes that our area holds great potential for sustainable economic development that will keep your peo-ple living here by paying decent wages and en-couraging entrepreneur-ship. He points out that it is local businesses that support their communi-ties, and Tumbledown Cafe is no exception. In addition to helping nonprofit groups it is also sponsoring a Little League team.

Back to the barnGuttadauro's plans

are not limited to his Wakefield ventures. He also plans to return to where he started in Brookfield a few years back, when he renovated the barn at Tumbledown Farm on Route 109 to

host Wolfeboro Folk con-certs for Ben Anderson.

Those off-season con-certs were very popu-lar among year-round residents in the area but they also became a source of controversy when Brookfield select-men questioned wheth-er they were allowed as part of Guttadauro's farm operations under Brookfield's zoning, which permits no com-mercial/retail uses.

Ultimately the select-men's objections led to the end of the Wolfeboro Folk concerts, despite widespread support for them. Anderson went on to become president of Portsmouth's Prescott Park Arts Festival, where he is making good use of his creative book-ing talent and relation-ships.

However, since then the state has come to rec-ognize the value of agri-tourism, where farms employ concerts, rides, corn mazes and other en-tertainments to attract visitors, who both pur-chase farm products and help support the farm itself financially. New Hampshire just passed its first agritourism bill, and Guttaduaro was one of those who helped frame it. He said he in-sisted that the portion of revenues produced by tourism activities be limited to 20 percent of total farm revenues in order to limit its use to true farmers, rather than allow amusement ventures to use a farm as a cover for non-agricul-tural activities.

Some far Guttadauro has planned six concerts for the farm, now that they are legal. The first will be held on June 30 and remainder will be scheduled into the fall. With a good response he hopes he can extend them into the winter when the revenue is most needed.

Unlike his earlier at-tempt to stage concerts in the Brookfield barn, this time he has the syn-ergy between the cafe, general store and ice cream parlor to direct a greater range of concert-goers to the Brookfield venue. The barn has also become a site for wed-dings and receptions.

A point of viewBy now you may have

gathered that David Guttadauro is not only a builder and entrepre-neur but that he has a point of view that he is working from – and you would be right. On the front page of the cafe menu is this statement: “Around these parts, we tend to be a pretty inde-pendent folk. We don't much care for being led. That's why we live in New Hampshire. 'Live Free or Die' means more to us than just a slogan on a license plate. Not far from here, the seeds of the American Revolu-tion were planted. Today

agreed and recommend-ed an adjustment of 10 percent off the land and 15 percent off the build-ings.

Selectmen Rick Mor-gan asked that Code Of-ficer Steve McConarty take a look at the abut-ting property to assess whether or not it’s a health hazard. He then asked his fellow board members the question: If a property causes anoth-er to diminish in value, to the point where the town is abating taxes, could the sum of those abated taxes be required to be paid by the owner of the property that has caused the abatement?

Morgan thought that introducing such a law may motivate people to keep their properties presentable. He said that he knew of several instances where people had been unable to sell their homes, or the mar-ket value decreased, be-cause of the condition of neighboring properties. Selectmen Bob Freeman added the observation that there are a lot of un-presentable properties around Ossipee.

Resident Ash Fisch-bein had asked at last week’s meeting whether selectmen would consid-er such a step in support of economic develop-ment activities to attract business to town. A tidy town would be key to that investment he in-ferred.

While there was no

opposition to Morgan’s question, Chairman Frank Riley said it would require legal advice. He suggested a first step in this particular case should be for McConar-ty to review the building codes for any instances of violation. Then sec-ondly, to contact the town lawyer on how to move forward.

Moving on to finan-cial matters, payroll ex-penses of $36,506 were reported, and accounts payable of $13, 325 for a total of $49, 831. There was a timber tax war-rant to collect $1,671. Re-cycling brought in reve-nues of $3,624 in April

Trustees of the Trust Funds were requested to reimburse the town of Ossipee for work done on the Valley Road bridge to finish up technical work done by White Mountain Survey, in the amount of $2,970.

ORDINANCEFROM PAGE A1


on our farm, and many other local family farms, the seeds of another rev-olution are being sown.

“The preamble to 'our' declaration of indepen-dence goes something like this . . . We the Peo-ple...

“Desire to be indepen-dent and free of GMOs, big business, over de-velopment, excessive in-trusion in our lives, and the sense of helplessness and loss of control we feel.

“Want to know what we are eating, where it came from, who raised it, how it was grown, what's in it, and what's on it.

“Want to support lo-cal businesses and local families and develop

our own viable economy without any government or big corporate assis-tance, interference, or subsidies.

“Want to return to a time where we all partic-ipated in the food cycle, and when the local farm was the center of com-merce and community.

“Believe that the fam-ily farm is a cornerstone of our society, and we want to enjoy and en-sure that future genera-tions enjoy the healthy food, open space and the undeveloped landscape that family farms and New Hampshire pro-vide.”

If you want to join this revolution and sup-port local farmers while enjoying some really great food and (soon) ice cream, Tumbledown Cafe in Sanbornville is a good place to start.

[on county property] since the beginning of time with no reported injuries…I just don’t see any need for any control of the situation at this point.”

Babson also ques-tioned what financial implications it might have in regards to the reduced Current Use tax rate the county pays to the town of Ossipee if limitations to access are placed on the property.

Commissioner Chris Ahlgren acknowledged that while the commis-sioners are the stewards of the county property it has to balance out with the people’s right to use the public land. “We want to protect the county but also want to protect the citizens to be able to have a won-derful, free use of the lands,” said Ahlgren. He went on to suggest that it might be reasonable to put together a hand-book of laws regarding hunting on public land but stopped short of sup-porting the idea of a per-mitting system.

“I think we should have a permitting pro-cess. When they apply they have some sort of boundaries, can’t use high powered rifles, must be a licensed hunter, and have a hunter safety card. Check with our risk management team to see what our liabilities are if someone shoots someone on our property,” said Robichaud.

Based on the conver-sation, it does not ap-pear that NH Fish and Game was brought into this early discussion about the proposed pol-icy. There is a volume of laws already on the books in the NH Stat-utes regarding hunting and use of firearms. To the concern that hunt-ers will be shooting too close to the jail and nurs-ing home, and without any reported incidents of this, NH RSA 207:3-a states that it is unlawful to shoot a firearm or a bow and arrow within 300 feet of a permanent-ly occupied dwelling. As for Robichaud’s concern about tree stands, NH RSA 207:36-a, I states that no person can erect a permanent type tree stand without written

permission from a land-owner.

There was no men-tion at the meeting about any complaints re-ceived from abutters but nonetheless Robichaud said it is important to take their needs into consideration. One abut-ter is the Cornerstone Christian Academy on Route 28. “What if some-one is out haying the field and someone gets shot – things happen. Then we have property near the school. I don’t know what you want to do about that. Need to think of what the abut-ters might want as well. I think there is a process we have to go through so we don’t infringe on other people’s rights. It’s just something to think about,” said Robichaud.

A revised state law that took effect August 4, 2015, NH RSA 644:13, cre-ated “compact parts.” This made it illegal

without the permission of the police chief or governing body, to shoot a firearm at any “non-residential, commercial building, including but not limited to, industri-al, education, or medical buildings, plus a perime-ter 300 feet wide around all such buildings; any park, playground, or other outdoor public gathering place; any con-tiguous area containing six or more buildings which are used as either part-time or permanent dwellings and the spaces between them are with-in 300 feet of each other.

The commissioners will be meeting this week on Friday, May 13, instead of their regular Wednesday meeting. Because the agenda is full for that meeting, Ro-bichaud said this item will not be brought up May 13 but will be put off until the next meeting, Tuesday, May 24.

Currently the site plan review is before the Ossipee planning bord and is being presented by George Ferdette and Dan Flores from SFC Engineering Partner-ship on behalf of the campground owners, Northgate Resorts based in Michigan. After an initial presentation on April 5, SFC requested a continuance until the May 17 planning board meeting.

While the application has been in hiatus, sev-eral questionable issues have come to light that are being investigated. Purportedly, several organizations that SFC said they had been in contact with and had support from with re-gards to their ZBA spe-cial exception, have de-nied such contact and will be demanding a re-traction from SFC, a cor-rection to the minutes, and possibly a revoking of the granted special ex-ception.

At the first ZBA meeting in February, SFC was requested to communicate with the Ossipee Lake Alliance (OLA) to discuss im-pacts and carrying ca-pacity on the lake. The minutes of the March 8 ZBA meetings record: “George (Ferdette) refer to a letter by Bob Reyn-olds (OLA board mem-ber) within the packet provided to ZB…George noted that Mr Reynolds got to meet with the new owners and in the letter talks of the character, reviewed the plan and endorses the plan….the letter of recommenda-tion was on letterhead paper. So the (board) would have to assume this letter is a represen-tation of the Alliance and not Mr Reynold’s personally.”

The OLA has re-sponded as follows: “Ossipee Lake Alliance has never formally re-viewed or assessed the Westward Shores ex-pansion plan, and we were never asked to do so by town officials or the campground’s agents. We have not expressed an opinion

about its merits, and we have never authorized anyone to speak about the plan on our behalf. A letter allegedly writ-ten by Bob Reynolds evaluating and endors-ing the development on behalf of the Alliance was apparently present-ed to Ossipee officials by the campground’s agents. Mr. Reynolds is on the Alliance's Board of Directors, but he nev-er discussed such a let-ter with us and he was not authorized to speak on behalf of the organi-zation. We did not know such a letter existed un-til we were contacted by the Independent.”

The same ZBA min-utes report that Ferdette informed the board that “Chris Martin, NH Audubon Society visited the area on February 27, 2016 in reference to an eagle nest. Chris spoke with Dan Flores and stated there is one nest in the area but the loca-tion of the project will have no impact on the nest.” When contacted, Martin responded that to the best of his knowl-edge he had never met Dan Flores, nor had he spoken to or emailed him, or made those statements.

Green Mountain Conservation Group is also looking into possi-ble misrepresentations quoted in the minutes and has written a letter to the ZBA that states:

“We would like to make it known and re-corded in the minutes of your next ZBA meet-ing on May 10, 2016 that GMCG did not meet with the engineers or anyone else from SFC Engineer-ing as mentioned in the ZBA minutes nor have we worked with SFC Engineering on how to protect the environ-mentally sensitive areas around the site.

“The proposed ex-pansion of Westward Shores Lakeside Camp-ing Resort is of concern to GMCG with regards to water quality due to the size of the consid-ered expansion and the location of the proposal on the Bearcamp River, Ossipee Lake and within an exemplary wetland and marsh area known for high value wildlife

habitat. “We further would

like you to note that on May 4, 2016, GMCG spoke with Daniel Flores at SFC Engineer-ing Firm to alert him of the error in the presen-tation by Mr. Ferdette at the March 8, 2016 Zoning Board of Adjustment hearing. We have asked Mr. Flores, on behalf of his firm, to issue an apology to both GMCG and the Ossipee ZBA and to note that they had not met with GMCG pri-or to this hearing. They have cited information from GMCG’s Natural Resource Guide Book, which is on the GMCG website, but this does not mean that they have met or are partnering with us.”

SFC has also been advised in a recent let-ter from NH DES that it failed to demonstrate that any of the recom-mendations made by NH Fish and Game Depart-ment and the Westward Shores Loon Preserva-tion Committee con-cerning the protection of bald headed eagles and loons, have been incor-porated into its devel-opment plans. DES has requested that SFC pro-vide documentation that addresses the concerns of both of these parties.

While town officials, Northgate Resorts and SFC Engineering have not had the opportunity to respond to these con-tentions at the time of going to press, the infor-mation on hand seems to detract from the level of trust in which the in-formation supplied by the developers can be re-garded. More vigilance is required moving for-ward.

SFC has asked for a continuance to pres-ent their case until the May 17 Planning Board meeting, which will take place at 7 p.m. in the Freight House located at 1 Moultonville Road, Center Road. The meet-ing is open to the public.

Copies of past plan-ning board and ZBA meeting minutes are online at the town’s web-site ossipee.org or can be obtained from the secretary, Laura Nash, by calling 651-1154.

EXPANSIONFROM PAGE A1


for the concrete and re-bar needed for the proj-ect. The steel structure is expected to be delivered June 6 and work com-pleted in August.

A bid from MichiCorps in the amount of $14,633 was approved for con-crete blocks that will be used to build roadside retaining walls, and a bid from Water Industries was approved to supply culverts to the town in the amount of $8,464.

Harriman was happy to report that the town had finally received the green light from DOT for the reimbursement of $92,000 that had been expended by the town for some of the work done to date on the Whittier Covered Bridge. Addi-tionally DOT and Fed-eral Highway funding approval was received this past week. This now frees up the way to move forward with the third and final phase of the bridge renovation which includes the bridge going back up over the river and improvements to the road approaches.

In response to a ques-tion raised by the au-dience, Harriman said DOT would probably need to address the inter-section at Route 25 that provides access to the bridge to ensure it would be safe. Riley added that the town has yet to re-view and make plans for the traffic flow.

An agreement be-tween the town and LCHIP was signed ac-knowledging the town will be good stewards of the Whittier Covered Bridge in return for the $100,000 grant it received from the agency. Riley said this ensured that the town will be held to its responsibilities and that the bridge is well maintained into the fu-ture.

Water and Sewer De-partment Supervisor Bo Eldridge advised that he will be turning on the fire hydrants next week flush out the system, so people shouldn’t be alarmed to see water in the streets. Selectman Bob Freeman said there had been an issue with lead levels at the Center Ossipee Fire Department that were over the limit. There were also similar reports from the library

and post office. Eldridge said the flushing would not address these issues but rather it was the old-er pipes in the system causing the problem. Morgan asked how often the department moni-tors for lead to which Eldridge responded he thought it was every two years through the state. Riley requested that the department make every effort to keep customers informed.

Pike Industries will commence work this week adjusting catch basins on Route 171 from the Moultonbor-ough/Tuftonboro town line eastwards to Upper Beacham Hill Road in Ossipee, with paving to start at a later date.

On the subject of Route 171, NH DOT will be holding a public infor-mation forum on June 1 at 7 p.m. at Ossipee Town Hall, to present plans for the reconstruction of the intersection of Routes 171 and 28, and to take questions from abutters and residents.

Other businessEdward Kimball who

lives on Pequawket Trail on Ossipee Lake, wrote to selectmen expressing concerns that the town’s dirt ramp near his prop-erty will be over utilized while the main access to the lake at Pine River on Route 25 is closed for con-struction until the end of June. Kimball said he an-ticipates problems with increased traffic, illegal parking – there is no public parking – noise, trash and general safe-ty, and he wrote asking if the selectmen could do anything to head these off. The selectmen responded that while they share his concerns, there was not much they could do, but they did ask Harriman to take a look at the area to see if any recommendations could be made. They have also written to NH Fish and Game and asked them to expedite the work in time for the busiest months of July and August.

Town staff and select-men have completed a fraud policy that was approved at the meeting. It addresses issues such as embezzlement, mis-appropriation of assets, misuse of town assets, and intentional omission of facts for personal gain. It applies not only to town employees but in-dependent contractors, temporary workers, and consultants engaged in town work.

Georgie Duquet, a for-mer library trustee, was appointed by the select-men as a library board alternate through March 2017.

Town Administrator Ellen White said she had received a letter from Bob Bushman asking if he could make a pre-sentation to selectmen for tearing down the old Ossipee Valley Meeting House at the small cem-etery on Route 16 near

the Pizza Barn. Riley re-sponded that the town is not in a position to con-sider the request because no one knows who owns the building and it has a trust fund allocation. He said there is no proof the town owns it and furthermore if it were to be demolished, it would have to go through a bid process and assessed for any hazardous materials and a public hearing held in case anyone wanted to do something with it.

A tax abatement filed by Sandy Ridge Estates for 2015 was approved. The organization stated that due to the high va-cancy rate and expendi-tures, the net income did not support the assessed value. The assessment was revised from $1.1 million to $706,900 with a rebate of $8,970 granted.

A contract for Diver Assisted Suction Har-vesting (DASH) services was signed between the town and Henniker based AD Aquatic for containing milfoil in Os-sipee Lake in the amount of $17,900. The contract is signed each year in the event it is needed. According to Riley, NH DES does a survey to de-termine which process to use in any particular year for effectively cor-recting the milfoil prob-lem, including the sys-temic herbicide 2 ,4-D.

Selectmen signed their first event per-mit application for the Chickville Church since it has come into the town’s ownership. They approved the annual Me-morial Day service being held on Sunday, May 29 at 2 p.m. Selectman Bob Freeman said he’d been in contact with Jim and Janice Tully to organize a committee for the prop-erty’s ongoing mainte-nance which includes upkeep of the cemetery grounds.

When asked if any le-gal advice had yet been given on the exact inter-pretation of the warrant article that was voted down at town meeting to fund a built-out survey, White said they had not sought any at this point in time. Morgan added that there had been a conversation with NH DRA, the outcome of which was: “no means no, that a no is not be reinterpreted,” he said. Clarifying this further, Morgan said that voting down the warrant article meant the townspeople were voting against do-ing the built-out survey, not just funding for it. The topic is still an item on the town’s Conser-vation Commission and Planning Board agendas and the selectmen have formally written to the Conservation Commis-sion requesting notifica-tion should there be any consideration to under-take the survey.

A representative from Senator Kelly Ayotte’s office will be available at the Ossipee town hall


faucets for a drink, but that is also beginning to attract the attention of micro breweries into the area.

The lake is also the economic heart of Os-sipee and neighboring towns. Its lakeshore properties provide over half of Ossipee’s tax rev-enues. It supports many businesses from rental properties that attract rooms and meals tax, to marinas, restaurants, retails stores and service providers, most of which are entirely dependent upon the influx of sea-sonal visitors who rec-reate at the lake. Local residents make up the backbone of employees to these businesses.

The proposed expan-sion of the campground could see a possible 300 to 600 plus more people in the area who may spend their dollars at local busi-nesses, and the town’s coffers will receive an in-jection of tax funds from the campground, which all sounds like good eco-nomic news.

The lake and the life it supports are like a spider-web with many intercon-nected threads that are vulnerable singularly, but when woven togeth-er make the web strong as a whole. Development decisions that raise the quality of life for the com-munity spiderweb need to consider all the eco-nomic, environmental, and social threads.

Westward Shores was sold last December to Michigan-based North-gate Resort LLC which operates several fran-chised campgrounds around the county, un-der the name Yogi Bear Jellystone Park. The campground has been in operation since the 1940s and comprises wa-terfront on the northern bank of the Bearcamp River and incorporates a large stretch of the western shoreline of the big lake. In addition to the 144-slip marina and 258-site campground, the purchase included nine undeveloped abutting lots, and a three-bedroom home and land on what is known as the peninsula. It is accessed via Nichol-ls Road off Route 16 near the NAPA store.

The expansion calls for 18 new campsites on the peninsula and rehab of the existing cottage; 144 new sites with a bath house and indoor pool in Area 1, 34 sites and a pavilion in Area 2, and 68 sites with a bath house in Area 3. The construction will be done in 3 stages, starting with the penin-sula area, although no time frames have been provided.

It appears the camp-

ground will not be open year round, although exactly when it will be is not clear. In one state-ment, the figure used is 40 percent of the year. In another, camp manager Greta Bossenbroen said the camp is only closed in the middle of May and for a short period be-tween mid October and Thanksgiving. Electrici-ty is left on all year and one bath house remains open during the winter.

In order to expand the campground the new owners are required to come before the Ossipee Zoning Board of Adjust-ment (ZBA) for a special exception, and then go through the site plan review process with the town’s Planning Board. Additionally they have many other hoops to jump through with state departments such as transportation (NH DOT), environmental services(NH DES), Fish and Game, and Natural Heritage.

They are also required to meet the concerns of property neighbors, and local groups connect-ed to the wider vision of ensuring the entire watershed’s protection. Or, they can prove those concerns are unfounded. It’s a lengthy and very detailed process with the potential for things to slip by unnoticed or un-checked. In large devel-opment situations like this many towns engage a third party profession-al engineering company to guide them through the complicated check list, and require that the cost be carried by the ap-plicant.

George Ferdette and Dan Flores of SFC En-gineering Partnership have represented North-gate at town zoning and planning board meetings to date. SFC Engineering was the developer for the Danforth Bay and Os-sipee Lake Campground septic infrastructure up-grade recently.

Ferdette and Flores came before the ZBA on Feb. 9 and again on March 8, at which time the special exception to expand was approved. There was very little objection from the pub-lic save for a handful of neighbors who were con-cerned about increased traffic along Nicholls Road and the potential for increased noise lev-

els.The Ossipee Conser-vation Commission also submitted a list of items it would like to see ad-dressed, including re-quests for environmen-tal and wildlife impact studies.

In carrying out its work, the ZBA’s over-arching consideration is that development “. . . help retain the natu-ral beauty of Ossipee, to encourage the most ap-propriate use of land, to conserve its natural re-sources, to stabilize the value of land and build-ings, to prevent over-crowding of land and undue concentrations of population, and to facili-tate the economical pro-vision of future required utilities and facilities.”

Additionally it has a set of nine criteria that applicants must prove they are providing for. These include assur-ances and provisions for public health safety, property value protec-tion, adequate site facili-ties such as utilities and parking, and accessibil-ity. There are required standards for the preven-tion of issues with fire, flooding, water and sew-er, watercourses, traffic, erosion, hazardous ma-terials, storm water fun off, and milfoil.

In the process of ap-proving Northgate’s spe-cial exception the ZBA considered the potential for flooding and septic leakage into the lake. Ac-cording to Dan Mattaini at NH DES, the highest water level recorded was 413.72’ in 1998. The ZBA minutes of March 8 re-cord that the septic sys-tems are being built at 414’. SFC said the septic system is water tight and that they are meeting FE-MA’s requirements for emergency evacuation.

Some issuesA couple of things

brought to light during this process is that while the campground is a per-mitted use in this area, and is grandfathered, the current zoning ordi-nance does not specify the number of camps permitted. SFC quoted NH DES as saying the campground could ac-commodate an addition-al 700 camp sites. The ordinance also does not require that campsites to stay away from wet-lands.

CAMPGROUND said they had communi-cated with Officer Scott McLain from NH Ma-rine Patrol who report-edly said he sees no is-sues with the expansion and that while the lake is busy on weekends, the larger parts remain open. SFC say they also have support from other local lake-watch groups.

On the subject of con-serving natural resourc-es, SFC advised they were complying with NH DES recommendations to protect surface and ground water, as well as for the disposal of waste water. They are using forested buffers and bio-retention barriers to capture, treat and filter storm water, and will ap-ply to the planning board for a special exception due to the large quantity of discharge water that will be produced.

While development plans exclude the sensi-tive wetlands area, board members expressed con-cern that they may be ad-versely impacted during construction that will in-volve bringing in tons of fill materials and heavy equipment, and the from the ongoing interaction with campers. Questions were raised on whether the Shoreland Protect Act was being followed with some sites only hav-ing a 20’ set back. Per-mission was given for a 16’ wide access road from the peninsular area, in-stead of the usually re-quired 20’, to minimize impact on surrounding wetlands. SFC stated they also have support from other local conser-vation groups.

After considering all the information present-ed by SFC on March 8, the ZBA found that the special exception appli-cation met all their re-quirements.

Presumably with the campers will come an increase of boating ac-tivities on the lake and it would behoove the town to consider this in

conjunction with other expansion activities and issues going on around the lake just now.

Over the next few months, NH Fish and Game is building a new double-lane ramp at the public boat launch off Route 25, and enlarging the parking lot to 30 trail-er spaces, 5 car top spac-es, and one for accessible parking. A long over-due project in the minds of recreationists, it will provide more access to Ossipee Lake from the Pine River which exits adjacent to the vulner-able Ossipee Lake Nat-ural Area. This area has become degraded as state resources fail to provide the enforcement and communication re-quired to protect it. (see separate story)

The WSCM expansion proposal before the town is a timely opportunity for its residents and of-ficials to consider what type of development they’d like to attract to the area that will provide both economic and sus-tainable environmental benefits for the long term. The two are not mutual-ly exclusive. It’s timely because there’s a new Economic Development Committee to participate in, and the town’s master plan is about to be updat-ed, perhaps reshaped and re-envisioned.

Where things stand now is that SFC will be

presenting to the Plan-ning Board a site plan for review. At such a review, the board con-siders proposed changes being made to a proper-ty and their compliance to zoning regulations, and state and federal laws. While the Planning Board’s mission has overlap with the ZBA’s in terms of big-picture goals, it has additional oversight for the safe-ty and protection of the environment, wildlife habitat, natural resourc-es, and compliance with town’s master plan. The initial SFC presentation at the April 5 meeting ended with a request for continuance for the May 3rd meeting,which was subsequently extended to May 17.

While the application has been in hiatus, sev-eral questionable issues have come to light that are being investigated. Purportedly, several organizations that SFA said they had been in contact with and had sup-port from with regards to their ZBA special ex-ception, have denied such contact and will be demanding a retraction and possibly a re-hear-ing. (see separate story)

The Tuesday, May 17th Planning Board meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Freight House located at 1 Moultonville Road in Center Ossipee, and it is open to the public.

this Friday, May 13 be-tween 9 and 10 a.m. to an-swer questions from the public and share news from the senate.

The next planning board meeting is Tues-day May 17 at 7 p.m. and the Economic De-velopment Committee on Wednesday May 18 at 6 p.m. Both these meetings are held in the Freight House at 1 Moul-

tonville Road, Center Ossipee.

The next Ossipee board of selectmen meet-ing will be held on Mon-day May 16, starting at 4:15 p.m. in the Town Hall in Center Ossipee. An agenda is posted on the town’s website at www.ossipee.org. Recordings of past meetings, includ-ing other towns, boards and the county commis-sioners and delegation can be viewed at www.governmentoversite.com.

Eagle lax boys hang on to beat KnightsBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

NORTH CONWAY — Over the years, the Kennett and Kingswood lacrosse boys have had some pretty good battles.

History continued to repeat itself on Tuesday, May 3, as the Knights traveled to North Con-way to take on the Ea-gles.

The hosts had a five-goal lead midway through the final quar-ter, only to watch the vis-itors chip away at that lead, but the Kingswood rally came up short and Kennett got the 8-6 win.

“It’s a toss up every time,” said Kingswood coach Matt Tetreault. “You never know what’s going to happen up here.”

“They (Kingswood) didn’t give up,” said Ken-nett coach Alec Frankel. “At the end there, I was a little nervous.

“But that’s what I love about this game,” the Eagle mentor continued. “You can swing it in less than a minute.”

Kingswood came out with some early pres-sure, as they moved the ball around the offen-sive zone, but solid de-fense from Sloan Rogers and Mackenzie Murphy helped keep the Knights off the board.

At the other end, the Eagles were able to take advantage of their first chance in the zone, as Dan Nusbaum fired a shot past Kingswood keeper Tegan Keating for a 1-0 lead.

The two teams bat-tled back and forth as the quarter rolled on, with both teams getting chances in the offensive zone.

The Knights were able to get the tying goal with 3:47 to go in the first quarter, as Cole John-

ston picked up the tally.Kingswood came

charging back with some chances, forcing Kennett keeper Tristan Andre-ani to make a couple of solid saves in his net.

The Eagles finished out the quarter with the go-ahead goal, as Cooper Bettencourt got a shot past Keating for a 2-1 lead heading to the sec-ond period.

The Eagles had the opening attack in the second quarter and it was senior Kherry Rob-er who led the charge, as he converted a natural hat trick over the course of just more than three minutes.

Rober scored his first goal with 7:19 to go in the half and then right off the ensuing faceoff, he fired another shot in the net for a 4-1 lead.

Kingswood got back on the board with 6:36 to go in the frame, as Erik Madden fired a shot past Andreani to cut the lead to 4-2.

However, with 4:08 to go, Rober scored his third goal of the game to push the lead to 5-2. The Eagles continued to pressure, with Rober and Zach DeGroot both firing shots wide and with Keating making a save on another Rober attempt.

Kingswood came back with a solid bid from Cody Heald but Andre-ani made the save and the game went to the half with the Eagles up 5-2.

The first 1:50 of the third quarter saw the Knights get a number of great chances. Owen Go-nya had a couple of shots go wide, Madden fired a shot off the post and then had another stopped by Andreani.

But it was the Eagles that got the first goal of the half, as Jon Emery

fired a shot in with 10:10 to go to up the lead to 6-2. The Knights came back with a scoring bid from Troy Dancoes that was blocked by the Kennett defense.

The Knights came back with the next goal just more than a minute later, as Austin Chasse ripped a shot past An-dreani with 8:56 to go to cut the lead to 6-3.

The teams exchanged chances over the next few minutes, with Chris Watson and Alex McK-enna getting looks for Kingswood, while De-Groot had a chance stopped by Keating at the other end. Murphy had a nice defensive play to stop a Kingswood bid as well. Maddy Tetreault had a couple of shots stopped by Andreani in the Kennett net and Gon-

ya also had a bid denied. Dancoes for Kignswood and DeGroot for Kennett had back-to-back steals as the ball went up and down the field.

The Eagles grabbed a little momentum with just less than a minute to go, as Bettencourt found Nusbaum in front. He spun his way around the defense and fired the ball in for a 7-3 lead.

Theo Charles came back with another quick bid for the Eagles but Peter Marshall knocked the ball away and the quarter ended with Ken-nett up 7-3.

Kingswood opened the fourth with some good chances, as Mad-den and Gonya both sent shots wide and Madden had one denied by An-dreani.

NORTH CONWAY — The Kennett and Kingswood girls’ tennis teams were just about as even as two tennis teams could be on Tues-day, May 3, which led to a bit of a problem.

With the two teams scheduled to play a dou-bleheader, the back and forth battles for seem-ingly every point kept the teams on the court until darkness envel-oped the Jon C. Judge Tennis Courts and the second match had to be suspended.

In the first match, the top of the lineup came through in singles for the Kingswood girls while the bottom of the lineup came through in doubles and the Knights were able to come away with a 5-3 win over the Eagles.

In the top spot in the lineup, Katie Marzerka of Kingswood worked past Kennett’s Emma Niiler by an 8-2 score.

Kingswood’s Siobhan Shamlian and Kennett’s Olivia Couture engaged in a solid battle at num-ber two, with Shamlian coming out with an 8-6 win.

At number three, Kingswood’s Jasper Shapiro worked her way past Kennett’s Ally Wanek by an 8-3 score.

The fourth singles matchup was the long one of the first match, as Kingswood’s Kara Phu and Kennett’s Kathryn Lees battled back and forth before Phu came away with a 9-8 win, 7-2 in the tiebreaker.

The Eagles were able to get a win in the fifth spot in the lineup, as Becca Lees got an 8-2 win over Margot Richez.

In the sixth spot, Kennett’s Jean Thanjai finished with an 8-3 win over Brooke Seigars.

In doubles action, the team of Couture and Becca Lees picked up an 8-5 win over Shamlian

and Shapiro to pull Ken-nett to within a 4-3 score.

However, Richez and Seigars teamed up in the third doubles for Kingswood and defeat-ed Thanjai and Kathryn Lees by an 8-4 score to clinch the 5-3 win for Kingswood.

The number two sin-gles battle was the first to be completed in the second match, as Sham-lian defeated Couture by an 8-3 score.

The second match off the court was at num-ber six, where Thanjai pulled Kennett even with an 8-0 win over Maddie Winn.

Phu put Kingswood back in front by a 2-1 score with an 8-1 win over Kathryn Lees in the fourth spot in the lineup.

Marzerka upped the Kingswood lead to 3-1 when she picked up an 8-1 win over Niiler in the number one spot in the lineup.

Kennett bounced back, with Becca Lees getting an 8-5 win over Margot Richez in the fifth spot.

The third singles match went to a tie-breaker as darkness started creeping in. Wanek was able to pull out a 9-8 win (7-2 in the tiebreaker) over Shap-iro to tie the match at three with singles com-pleted.

The number three doubles team of Ri-chez and Seigars again teamed up for a win for the Knights, defeating Thanjai and Kathryn Lees by an 8-0 score to take a 4-3 lead.

However, the other two doubles matches were suspended due to the darkness. They will be played on Tuesday, May 17, in Wolfeboro.

The Eagles dropped a 6-0 rain-shortened deci-sion to Portsmouth be-fore bouncing back with a 7-2 win over Trinity on Friday afternoon.

The Kennett girls’

tennis team will be at Plymouth for a 4 p.m. match on Friday, May 13, will be at Oyster

River on Monday, May 16, at 4 p.m. and will be hosting Pembroke on Friday, May 20, at 4 p.m.

Kennett net boys win rematch with Kingswood

JOSHUA SPAULDING

RUSS LUCIA picked up the lone singles win for Kingswood against Kennett on May 3.

BY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — Af-ter a 5-4 battle in North Conway in April, the Kennett and Kingswood boys’ tennis teams were expecting a pretty good battle when they re-turned to the courts for the rematch in Wolfe-boro on Tuesday, May 3.

Each team was down a few regulars in the starting ladder and the Eagles’ depth proved to be just a bit stronger than the Knights’ depth, with Kennett getting the 7-2 win.

“With two players out due to illness, three players had to move up and all three lost in very tight matches,” said Kingswood coach Steve Langevin.

“They definitely stepped up, especially in tough matches and tiebreakers,” said Ken-nett coach Joe Murphy.

In the top spot in the lineup, Kennett’s Zach Bradley got an 8-4 win over Kingswood’s Jake

Merrill.In the second spot,

Willie Alber of Kennett had a strong showing, taking care of King-swood’s Noah Smith by a score of 8-0.

Kingswood’s lone win in singles came at number three, where Russ Lucia picked up an 8-5 win over Jack Thompson of Kennett.

Alex Nemeth played in the fourth spot for Kennett and fought through to a 9-8 win (13-11 in the tiebreak-er) over Aaron Kust of Kingswood.

The fifth single match was much the same, as Kennett’s Nick Heysler battled back from a 5-1 deficit to Kingswood’s Matt Horton to again force a tiebreaker. Heys-ler got the 9-8 (12-10 in the tiebreaker) win.

Colby Couture of Kennett got his first varsity win in the sixth spot in the lineup, de-feating Greg Bush of Kingswood by an 8-6 score.

With the Eagles hold-ing a 5-1 advantage after singles, the match was decided, but the teams headed out for doubles.

At number one, Brad-ley and Alber played in

the first spot for Ken-nett and defeated Smith and Merrill by an 8-2 score.

Thompson and Nemeth finished with an 8-5 win over Lucia

and Kust in the second doubles spot.

Horton and Arhus Babcock played in the third doubles for King-swood and they got an 8-3 win over Hunt-

er Krebs and Andrew Belle-Isle for Babcock’s first varsity win.

“It shows the im-provement of the play-ers throughout the sea-son,” said Murphy of his squad. “It could’ve gone either way.”

The first-year coach also praised the play of Alber, who he notes has been playing really strong tennis the last few matches.

The Eagles continued to play well, earning an 8-1 win over Trinity on Friday after seeing a match with Portsmouth postponed on Wednes-day.

The Knights dropped a 5-0 rain-shortened de-cision to Inter-Lakes on Wednesday, May 4, and then dropped a 6-3 deci-sion at Prospect Moun-tain on Friday evening.

Against the Timber Wolves, Kust got an 8-5 win and Lucia got an 8-6 win but Prospect won the other four singles matches. In doubles, Kust and Horton got an 8-1 win at three doubles, while Lucia and Drew Connelly played a close match at two, falling 8-6.

The Eagles will be in action today, May 12, at 4:30 p.m. hosting Plymouth and will be hosting Oyster River on Monday, May 16, at 4 p.m. and will wrap up the regular season on Wednesday, May 18, at 4 p.m. at home against Manchester West.

The Knights will be hosting Wilton-Lyn-deborough on Wednes-day, May 18, for the fi-nal home match of the season at 4 p.m.


Knight girls split a pair of contestsBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — The up and down season continued for the King-swood girls’ lacrosse team last week, as the Knights picked up an-other win and another loss to move to 3-3 on the season.

The week kicked off with a 17-3 win on the road at Pembroke Acad-emy on Tuesday, May 3, a game that was post-poned a day by rain.

Coach Sandy Bridge-man noted that 12 of the 17 goals the team scored had an assist, which she said was a good sign for the team.

Haley Bridgeman led the attack with five goals and two assists, while Abby Duble add-ed four goals and one assist. Sofia Marshall put in three goals and Emily Skelley added two goals and two as-sists. Freshmen Bridget

Coughlin and Macken-zie Doran each put in a goal, with Coughlin adding two assists and Doran adding one help-er. Abbi Morrissey also potted a goal for the Knights, while Meghan Lapar had three assists and Liz McLaughlin added an assist.

The Knights finished the week with a trip to Windham on Fri-day, May 6, and they dropped a 16-4 decision to the Jaguars.

In that game, Skelley had two goals, while Lapar and Doran each added one and Coughlin had an assist.

“Windham’s a solid team, but there were some good points in it, we did some good things to build on,” Bridgeman said. “We made some good connections, but we’ve got to string more together.”

At one point the Knights trailed by just

two at 5-3 but the Jag-uars used their depth to outrun the Knights in the end. And the Knight coach noted that there were too many mistakes against a good team.

“You have to limit turnovers and unforced errors in that type of game,” Bridgeman said. “The kids competed and played hard. We just kind of didn’t have enough depth.”

The Kingswood first-year head coach noted that she saw things that she knows can be built off of moving forward and while losing isn’t something she enjoys, she knows sometimes you can learn more from a loss to a good team than from a win over a less-superior team.

“I never like to lose,” Bridgeman said. “But there were some good things that were there, building blocks you can

go off of.”She noted that Mc-

Laughlin and Lapar were solid on draw controls, particularly in the first half, when the Knights were fairly even with the Jaguars in that department. However, the hosts were able to win more of the controls in the second half, which led to them pulling away.

“That’s an extra pos-session that makes a difference,” Bridgeman said of the draw con-trol losses. “It’s always a battle that you want to win more than you lose.”

She also praised McLaughlin’s work on defense against the Jaguars and noted that she kept them from get-ting a number of second chances.

“Overall, the feel-ing’s pretty positive,” Bridgeman said. “Our goal is to get to the

playoffs and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a team (Windham) that we see later on.”

The Knights will be in action on Friday, May 13, at home against Timberlane at 4 p.m. and will be at John Stark on Wednesday, May 18, at 4:15 p.m.

Knights impress at relay meet in PortsmouthBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

PORTSMOUTH — The Kingswood track team competed in the annual Clipper Relays at Portsmouth High School on Thursday, May 4, a meet consisting, as the name suggests, of a num-ber of different relay events.

Overall, the Knight boys finished in eighth place just behind Divi-sion I Dover, while the Knight girls finished in ninth place just behind Oyster River.

On the boys’ side of things, the 4X800-meter relay team continued its incredibly strong season by running to second place in a time of 8:28, be-hind only the team from the state’s largest school, Pinkerton Academy.

In the 4X140-meter shuttle hurdle relays, which has runners going up and down the track and over the hurdles in different directions, the Knights finished in a time of 8:09.3 for fifth place overall.

In the 4,000-meter distance medley relay, which included the 1,200 meters, the 1,600 me-ters, 800 meters and 400 meters, the Knights fin-ished in a time of 11:31.2 seconds for fifth place overall.

The Knights finished in second place in the high jump relay, which had three jumpers com-peting for each team. Brendan Donahue led the team at five feet, 10 inches, with Ryan Wil-lette at five feet, six inch-es and Josh LaFleur at five feet.

The Knight triple jump trio finished in sixth place overall, with Donahue again leading the pack at 38 feet, 4.5 inches, Willette finish-ing at 35 feet, 2.25 inch-es and LaFleur going 32 feet, seven inches.

In the shot put relay, Kingswood finished sixth overall as well, with Jacob Overall fin-ishing at 39 feet, half an inch, Rian Russo tossed 35 feet, 10.25 inches and Jacob Dearborn threw 34 feet, 1.5 inches.

In the 4X100-meter relay, the Knight boys finished in 10th place overall in a time of 1:41. In the discus, Overall led the Knights at 104 feet, two inches, Dear-born was next at 78 feet, seven inches and Randy Willette finished at 73 feet, six inches. In the javelin relay, Randy Wil-lette threw 118 feet, sev-en inches to lead King-swood, with Russo at 106 feet, seven inches and Ryan Willette at 97 feet, four inches.

The top performance for the Knight girls was in the 4X100-meter shut-

tle hurdle relay, where the Knights finished in

second place in a time of 1:16.2, behind only Bed-

ford.The Knight girls also

Knights struggle to get back on track

JOSHUA SPAULDING

SHAWNA KNOWLES rounds third base in action on Friday afternoon.

BY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — The Kingswood softball team’s struggles contin-ued in the return from vacation, as the Knights struggled defensive-ly and dropped three games, all by one run each.

“We’re not getting lots of at bats,” coach Steve Woodcock said. “So we can’t afford to make errors behind that.

“We keep hitting fly balls instead of line drives,” the Knight coach added.

The Knights opened the week on Tuesday, May 4, against Ports-mouth and fell behind by a 3-0 score thanks to poor fielding. Howev-er, Morgan McCann’s three-run double in the third inning tied the game. The Clippers add-ed a run in the sixth but McCann matched that with an RBI in the bot-tom of the inning to tie the game at four. The Clippers scored the go-ahead run in the top of the seventh inning on a squeeze play to go up 5-4. Kyleigh Moore had a base hit in the bottom of the inning, but she was stranded on first and Kingswood took the 5-4 loss.

Maddison Rabide-au struck out 10 in the game and didn’t walk a single batter in the game.

On Wednesday, May

4, the Knights traveled to Dover to take on St. Thomas. McCann drove in the first run in the first inning but the Saints came back with three runs, thanks in part to Kingswood’s de-fensive mistakes.

Moore and Abby Coulter led the team of-fensively in the fourth inning, as they helped drive in three more runs. The Knights led heading to the bottom of the sixth inning but the Saints pushed across the tying runs in that frame, forcing King-swood to plate another run in the top of the sev-enth, with pinch hitter Courtney Drew coming through. However, the Saints scored two un-earned runs in the bot-tom of the inning for the 7-6 win.

“The team started off playing excellent ball, but recently our focus and play have been off,” Woodcock said. “We continue to get complete pitching performances from Maddie, with great strike to ball ratios, but she has been stymied by the poor defensive play behind her.”

Kingswood wel-comed John Stark on Friday, May 6, and the two teams played score-less softball through the first two innings before the Generals were able to get on the board in the top of the third inning.

With one out, a base hit and a triple allowed

the first run to score. However, a nice play by Shawna Knowles at third base helped the Knights get out of the inning with no more trouble.

In the bottom of the third, the Knights an-swered. Kasey Birth led off the inning with a walk and she stole second, taking third on a throwing error. Knowles then delivered a base hit to plate the tying run and one out later, Shelby Lindsay doubled. Knowles was gunned out trying to score on the hit but Mc-Cann stepped up next and drove in Lindsay with a base hit to give

the Knights the 2-1 lead.Kingswood got some

solid defense in the top of the fourth when a grounder hit off the first base bag. McCann, the team’s second baseman, was able to field the car-om and get it to Lauren Pomerleau at first for the out.

Pomerleau worked a walk in the bottom of the fourth but the Knights could not get any runs in and the Generals tied the game in the top of the fifth inning, with a throwing error allowing the run to score.

The Knights went quietly in the bottom of the fifth and Rabideau worked around a base

hit and a bunt hit in the top of the sixth inning. Kingswood went quiet-ly again in the bottom of the sixth inning and the Generals were able to come up with anoth-er run in the top of the seventh. John Stark got a couple of base hits and a groundout to plate the tying run. Birth tracked down a long fly ball to center to end the inning but the Knights went in order in the bottom of the seventh inning and John Stark had the 3-2 win.

“We have to get out of this slide,” Woodcock said. “We have to keep playing, we’ve got to get control.

“We’ve got a ways to go,” the Knight coach added, lamenting the four one-run losses in the last five games going back to the day before the vacation week.

“We started talking about potential, but now potential has gone by,” Woodcock said. “Now it’s about performance. We’re on the edge.”

The Knights will be in action on Friday, May 13, at home against Mer-rimack Valley, before visiting Portsmouth on Wednesday, May 18, both at 4 p.m.


Errors prove costly for Kingswood baseballBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — The week after school vaca-tion proved to be a tough one for the Kingswood baseball team.

Errors were the name of the game in the team’s three games last week and as a result, the Knights came up short in all three.

After falling to Ports-mouth 13-1 on Tuesday, May 3, and to St. Thomas 5-0 on Wednesday, May 4, the Knights welcomed John Stark to Wolfeboro on Friday, May 6.

Kingswood got out to a quick 2-0 lead after one inning but a four-run fourth inning by the Generals propelled them into the lead and Kingswood was unable to score again, dropping the 8-2 decision.

“It’s the same story a few games in a row,” said coach Chip Skelley, referencing the errors. “We just can’t get out of that. It’s not just one per-son, it’s everybody.”

Jacob Craigue got the start on the hill for the Knights and struck out the side in the first in-ning, working around an error to open the game.

In the bottom of the first inning Kingswood struck for two runs. Bri-an Lindsay led off with a base hit and Alec Hay-ford reached on an er-ror. After a Will Treuel base hit, Andy Contrada grounded to shortstop, forcing Treuel at second but bringing Lindsay home with the game’s first run. Cam Place then put down a nice squeeze bunt, bringing home Hayford with the second run.

Craigue was able to set the side down in or-der in the bottom of the inning, getting a nice

throw from Bryan Del-aney at third base and a strikeout of the final batter.

Kingswood loaded the bases in the bottom of the second inning. With one out, Craigue worked a walk and Evan Lavoice beat out a bunt when the throw to first hit him in the shoulder. A wild pitch moved both batters up and a walk by Hayford loaded the bases with two outs. However, the Generals induced a grounder to second base to get out of the inning.

Craigue pitched an-other clean inning in the top of the third inning and Kingswood put more runners on in the bottom of the inning. Contrada and Place both reached and were sacrificed over by Jay Warthen, but they were stranded.

The Generals took advantage of Kingswood errors in the top of the fourth inning, including a couple of pickoff errors. The Generals also had a double in the inning and by the time Craigue got out of the frame with a pair of groundouts, the Generals had a 4-2 lead.

Kingswood loaded the bases again in the bot-tom of the inning, look-ing to get even. Lindsay had a base hit and Treuel beat out an infield hit. Contrada reached to load the bases but again the Knights were unable to score.

The Generals got an-other run in the top of the fifth inning but a nice play by Treuel in the hole at shortstop helped to get the Knights out of the inning.

Craigue reached in the bottom of the fifth inning for the Knights but a double play got the Generals out of the inning with no further

damage.In the top of the sixth

inning, a walk and an er-ror allowed another run to score for a 6-2 lead. Delaney took over on the hill and a base hit and a couple more errors got home two ore runs to push the lead to 8-2.

Treuel had a two-out walk in the bottom of the sixth but he was stranded and there was no more threats from the Knights in the seventh,

as the Generals took the 8-2 win.

Skelley noted that de-spite the three losses in a row, the Knights are get-ting good pitching.

“Pitching has not been an issue, for the most part,” Skelley said. “Though you wouldn’t know that by the scores.”

Skelley notes that the team takes lots of ground balls and fly balls in practice and things seem fine, but in the games the

plays aren’t being made.“I’m not sure exactly

what it is,” Skelley said. “It’s almost like they don’t want the ball.

“They’re good enough to make the plays,” the Knight coach continued.

Kingswood will be in action on Friday, May

13, at home against Mer-rimack Valley, will be at Coe-Brown on Monday, May 16, and will be at Portsmouth on Wednes-day, May 18, all at 4 p.m.

The Eagles raced the ball up the field, with Andreani firing it to Tanner Brown, who charged into the zone and found Emery, who beat Keating to push the lead to 8-3.

Kingswood didn’t back down and came charging back just 15 seconds later as McKen-na found Tetreault with 8:33 to go to cut the lead to 8-4.

Then just 39 seconds later, Tetreault scored his second goal to cut the lead to 8-5 with less than eight minutes to play as the Knights con-tinued to pressure. An-dreani made a few more saves, with Gonya and Tetreault making saves. Rogers turned in good defense for the Eagles as well.

Tetreault came close to another goal, firing another shot off the post while at the other end, Alex Matarozzo had a strong defensive play for the Knights.

Kingswood cut the lead to 8-6 with 3:12 to go, as Tetreault found Gon-ya, who fired the ball in the net.

However, the Eagles were able to control the ball for a few minutes, keeping the Knights at bay. Kingswood did have a couple of chances in the final minute, with Gonya firing a shot high and Andreani making one final save.

Rober finished with three goals for the Ea-gles, while Nusbaum and Emery each had a pair of goals. Tetreault led the Knights with two goals on the day.

“Before the game we told them, they’re go-ing to have to get all the bounces and you have to get all the ground balls to win,” Tetreault said. “But we dropped a lot of balls today.”

However, the Knight coach said he was pleased that the kids didn’t quit, not allowing the lead to grow even larger.

ALEX MCKENNA twists away from Kennett’s Ryan Stevens during action in North Conway on May 3.

“We wanted to come here and have a respect-able showing,” Tetreault said, noting the team was looking forward to the rematch. “Any time you do something, once you see it a few times, you’re more prepared.”

The Knights have played five road games out of the first six games, making for a busy start to the season.

“It’s been like a west coast road trip for us,”

Tetreault said. “It’s been tough on the guys play-ing on dirt, but they’re getting through it.”

“Our defense was re-ally phenomenal,” Fran-kel said. “But we can still work on our com-munication a little.

Cleaning out the random thoughts from the back of my mind

SPORTING CHANCE

By JOSHUA SPAULDING

As we hit the busy season for high school spring sports, it’s time to clean some of the clutter out of the junk drawer that is my mind.

Had a nice visit with my mother over the past weekend. After hitting up the Stacey Burns Memorial Schol-arship 5K and the Pros-pect Mountain track team’s home meet on Saturday, I headed north for the evening. I was able to get laundry done (it’s cheaper than the laundromat) and helped my mother and her boyfriend finish up the yard work they were doing when I got there. I also explored the barn for a couple of set pieces needed for the next Vil-lage Players show. I was able to get some writing done on Saturday and then got up and cooked breakfast for everyone on Sunday morning be-fore heading back south to finish up my normal Sunday work and head to rehearsal at the the-ater. I don’t get tons of chances to visit my mother, but it’s always nice to get home and see her, even if it’s just for a day or so.

I covered my first-ev-er night tennis match last week. Kingswood AD Aaron House sched-uled each of his tennis teams to play a match

under the lights at the Foss Field courts this season. I like the idea and it brought out a pretty good crowd of people who might not have been able to see the match otherwise. While it may have got-ten a bit dark (even with the lights) by the end, it was a lot of fun. I wasn’t able to get tons of pic-tures due to darkness but the coaches agreed that it would be nice to do it again, though maybe starting at 6 p.m. instead of 7 p.m., which I tended to agree with, mainly to be done be-fore 10 p.m.

As we reach the sec-ond week of May, there are still a few teams that I cover that I haven’t seen yet, which I don’t like. I planned on see-ing one of those teams this week (Kennett boys’ tennis) so that leaves me with just the Plymouth girls’ tennis and lacrosse teams. It’s frustrating missing out on teams but it’s tough to schedule everything when teams seem to al-ways play on the same days at the same times. I would advocate for

baseball and softball on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and la-crosse on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with tennis filtering in on any of the days. But of course, I’m just one person try-ing to see lots of differ-ent teams. Thanks to Kathy Sutherland, Den-nis Coughlin and RC Greenwood, who have helped me out by cover-ing teams with pictures.

I can’t stress how far behind I am on televi-sion right now. Between working long hours and Red Sox games, I’ve got many, many hours on my DVR. I keep up with Survivor each week, but it’s been tough com-ing up with a few hours to catch up on a show or two. Maybe in June.

Finally, have a great day, Peter and Kim Marshall.

team was getting back a few injured players over the next few weeks and he expects that the reinforcements will just make the start to the sea-son even better.

“This early in the season, to be getting the level of play I’m seeing, we’re in for a good rest of the season,” the Eagle coach said. “We’re look-ing forward to seeing the close ones (lost ear-ly in the season) again. They’ll be playing a dif-ferent team.”

North Country Notebook

Ice, ice, it’s everywhere, just what you need for a drink

By John HarriganColumnist

JOHN HARRIGAN

THIS FLYING GOOSE HUNK OF ICE was more like an octopus, clutching at a rock face west of Dixville Notch, where the rays of the climbing sun will ultimately shoot it down.

I was just beginning a wonderful circular drive around the North Country this past Wednesday when at the western approach to Dixville Notch I came across a chunk of ice. “Across” is prob-ably the wrong word, because this fragment of glacier was not in the road, but instead clinging tenaciously to a small cliff, like a lim-pet mine on the hull of a ship.

For some reason this reminded me of an oft-repeated statement by Warren Pearson, longtime skimeister at New Hampshire’s northernmost ski area, The Wilderness, near where I encountered the ice. One of his frus-trations was how to get the word out to skiers down south that long

after most other ski ar-eas had shut down for the season, The Wilder-ness still had plenty of snow.

“It’s hard to con-vince people mowing their lawns in Boston that we still have plen-ty of snow,” was his succinct way of put-ting it. Warren had the clipped accent of west-ern Maine, not the bet-ter known Downeast drawl, and didn’t mince words.

Further east, over the lip of the notch and coasting down into the Androscoggin drain-age toward Maine, there was still plenty more snow and ice in the rubble of rock on the floor of the notch, where the sun hardly shines at all.

Not that this is the only place snow and ice can still be found in northern or high-coun-try New Hampshire. There are plenty of places, in plenty of climes, where relics of winter will hang on well into early June, and still other places that will linger longer.

During my hiking days, when I knew many of the Appa-lachian Mountain Club’s hut crews on a first-name basis, one of my favorite desti-

nations was Carter Notch Hut, situated in a high valley tucked behind Wildcat Moun-tain. You reached it via Carter Dome, a lightning-prone bald pate of glacier-scraped bedrock featuring a heart-stopping descent to a convivial supper and a warm bunk for

the night.There is an ice-cave

there just beyond the hut, aligned in such a way that the snow packs in there, driven by the fierce north-west winds, but the sun barely penetrates even on the longest days of summer. And back in there, as the

cave’s mini-glacier slowly recedes, hikers and hut-keepers alike keep stuff that’ll spoil or they just want kept cool – butter, milk, and of course beer.

At Pittsburg’s Boundary Pond, at 2,335 feet one of the state’s highest ponds reachable (almost) by road, a famous de-posit of snow and ice can usually be found southeast of the dam, well into high summer and sometimes beyond. Generations of people who’ve fished there have known about it, for good reason. If you plan to cook before the evening rise, for in-stance, and need your cooler and ice for the boat (wink, nudge), you can scamper down below the dam and put your other spoilables on a nice little glacier of compacted snow.

Boundary, by the way, in times of yore known as Mountain Pond, is the pond on which famed local pi-lot Harry Scott vowed to land his float plane (and of course take off again) but waited near-ly a lifetime for the right conditions to do it.

This is a pond where the Canadian north-westerlies blow fierce-ly most of the time, having attained awe-some speed crossing the mostly open and flat countryside of the Eastern Townships of southern Quebec. They then smash into the remnants of the Ap-palachian Mountains that form the bound-ary, and crash up and over, of course, Bound-ary Pond.

Harry tried to land there several times, but always aborted in a sort of “touch and go” decision because he feared cracking up either on the way in or trying to get out. “But one day,” he whistled,

“I happened to hit it just right,” and down he went, and after en-joying a pontoon ride around the pond a cou-ple of times just to add emphasis and flirt with disaster, off he went again. Harry always began his sentences with a barely discern-ible whistle.

One time Dave Cook and I were under the dim confines of a big spruce tree there at Boundary, having been blown ashore by the usual tempest, and gradually our pu-pils dilated so that we could perceive the out-lines of another crea-ture under there, and it became Harry, seeking the same shelter. “Hel-lo, boys,” he said with a little whistle, just as if we were encounter-ing each other in down-town Colebrook.

One hot summer day at Boundary, “hot summer day” meaning about 55, with a Force Five gale, Bunny Bun-nell and I had come ashore to avoid being blown off to Bangor, and as was our usual strategy in a crisis, one of us, or maybe both of us, called for an adult beverage to sooth our nerves and add a touch of sharpness to our al-ready well-honed sa-gacity.

“But hark!” he cried, or something like that, “we need ice!” (the cooler’s supply some-how having become exhausted), and down over the dam I scram-bled, because I was the younger and number, and fetched plenty.

The Laufmans to call at Tin Mountain Contra Dance May 21

ALBANY — The legendary Dudley and Jacqueline Laufman, also known as “Two Fiddles,” will be calling and playing for the May 21 Contra Dance at Tin Mountain Conservation Center on Bald Hill Road in Albany.

They have been play-ing together for dances since 1986. Prior to that time, Dudley has been playing and calling tra-ditional New England dances for over 50 years.

As dance fiddlers, Jacqueline and Dudley have an earthy sound that combines with the beating of their feet as they call out the figures for old-time New Hamp-shire barn and square dances. They are self-taught and play by ear, having learned by the oral tradition. They continue this tradition through their own stu-dents and apprentices.

Two Fiddles has toured widely through-out the northeast as well as the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Hawaii, Quebec, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Minnesota.

In 2009, Dudley re-ceived the nation’s high-est honor in the folk and traditional arts: the Na-tional Heritage Fellow-ship, presented by the

National Endowment for the Arts.

They will be joined on May 21 by other local acoustic musicians who are welcome to sit-in with the band. Dancers are welcome to join the musicians and volun-teers for a potluck din-ner at 6:30. Dance admis-sion is $7 per adult, $3 under 12, maximum $15 per family. Call 539-1967 for more information.

Clearlakes Chorale spring concerts this weekendWOLFEBORO — The

Clearlakes Chorale will present two performanc-es of their 2016 Spring concert program this upcoming weekend – Saturday, May 14, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, May 15, at 2 p.m. – at First Congregational Church Wolfeboro. The Chorale is looking forward to presenting concerts for the first time in this new church, dedicated in September 2014.

The 50-voice Chorale, with Andy Campbell, director, and guest or-

ganist Dr. Susan Arm-strong, will be joined in these performanc-es by four young Bos-ton-based vocal soloists Chelsea Basler, sopra-no, Allison Messier, mezzo-soprano, Stefan Barner, lyric tenor, and Adrian Smith, bass-bari-tone. Armstrong will ac-company the Chorale on the church’s new digital hybrid Rogers Infinity organ.

The first work on this all-Mozart program will be Ave Verum Corpus, a short motet written

CLEARLAKES CHORALEduring the summer of 1791, about six months before the composer’s death. The concert will conclude with the fea-tured work, the dra-matic and famously un-

finished Requiem in D Minor, dating from late 1791.

Both performances will take place at First Congregational Church Wolfeboro. Tickets ($20,

$10 for students) can be purchased in advance in Wolfeboro at Black’s Paper and Gift Shop, on-line at http://clchorale.org/tickets.html, and at the door.

Take the 7th Voyage of Sinbad this weekend at Village PlayersWOLFEBORO —

The Village Players movie presentations move to the summer schedule this month with two screenings of The 7th Voyage of Sin-bad.

While sailing with Princess Parisa to Baghdad to their wed-ding, Sinbad finds the Colossa Island and an-chors his vessel to get supplies for the starv-ing crew. Sinbad and his men help the magi-cian Sokurah to escape

from a Cyclops that at-tacks them, and Soku-rah uses a magic lamp with a boy genie to help them. However, their boat sinks and he los-es the lamp. Sokurah offers a small fortune to Sinbad to return to Colossa, but he does not accept and heads to Baghdad. Sakurah re-quests a ship and crew to return to Colossa but the Caliph refuses to jeopardize his coun-trymen. However, the treacherous magician

shrinks the princess and when the desper-ate Sinbad seeks him out, he tells him that he needs to return to Colossa to get the in-gredient necessary for the magic potion. But Sinbad has only his friend Harufa to travel with him, and he de-cides to enlist a doubt-ful crew in the prison of Baghdad, in the be-ginning of his danger-ous voyage to Colossa to save the princess and avoid the eminent

war between Chandra and Baghdad.

Released in 1958, this was the first fea-ture using stop-motion animation effects to be completely shot in color. “Dynamation” (a portmanteau of “dy-namic animation”), the name of the visual effects technique cre-ated by Ray Harryhau-sen, was introduced for this film. The name was coined by produc-er Charles H. Schneer, who decided that he

and Ray needed a gim-mick to sell this tech-nique, and distinguish the model animation technique from car-toon animation.

The film stars Ker-win Mathews as Sin-bad and Kathryn Grant as Princess Parisa.

The Village Players movie screenings will take place on Friday, May 13, and Saturday, May 14, both at 8 p.m. Tickets are just $5 and concessions are also available for sale.

SANDWICH — Sea-coast area storyteller Mark Chamberlain makes his second fea-tured appearance at the Corner House Inn’s Storytelling Dinner Program on Thursday, May 19.

For over 15 years, Chamberlain was an avid story “listener” and writer of original family experiences. Several years ago, he made the switch from story listener to a tell-er of tales. A native of the state of New Hamp-shire, he currently re-sides with his wife and thousands of honey-bees. Both at times be-come characters in his personal adventure sto-ries. Besides his origi-nal stories, he loves to tell his own versions

of traditional folktales that are both humorous and thought provoking.

Chamberlain has told at the Central New Hampshire Tel-lebration, the White Mountain Storytelling Festival, Granite State Story Swap, Serenity Cafe, and is a member of the New Hampshire Storytelling Alliance,

the League for the Ad-vancement of New En-gland Storytellers, and the Seacoast Storytell-ers of New Hampshire.

Join the Corner House Inn on May 19 to enjoy Chamberlain’s engaging style of sto-rytelling. The evening also marks the next-to-last storytelling din-ner of the season. The

dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. The cost is $21.95 per person for a three-course dinner, a glass of wine, and enchant-ing stories.

M/S Mount Washington to begin 2016 seasonWEIRS BEACH —

Let the boating season begin. With the suc-cessful completion of its annual inspection by the New Hampshire Departments of Safety, Marine and Fire Safety Divisions, the venera-ble M/S Mount Wash-ington will return to its summer port of Weirs Beach early next week and is ready to kick off its 2016 cruising season.

“We’re looking for-ward to getting back out on the big lake and for a successful cruis-ing season,” says Cap-tain Jim Morash, gen-eral manager of Mount Washington Cruises.

The New Hampshire Department of Safety annually inspects the

vessel before issuing the cruise line its li-cense to operate. “Safe-ty is the number one priority with our ves-sels and our relation-ship with the Marine and Fire Safety Divi-sions is very important to us,” says Captain Paul Smith. “We are in contact with them throughout the year and open to their sug-gestions in how to im-prove our operation in terms of safety. In addi-tion, we’re always mak-ing improvements and updating older systems with the newer technol-ogy available.”

The official 2016 dai-ly cruising season for the M/S Mount Wash-ington, and her sister

vessels, runs from May 21 until Oct. 18 offering daily cruises from its summer port of Weirs Beach while servicing the ports of Alton Bay, Center Harbor, Mer-edith and Wolfeboro. Departure times and options vary through the season with July and August having the most cruises available. Options include daily scenic, evening dinner dance and island mail delivery cruises.

MARK ON THE MARKETS:Recession?

BY MARK PATTERSON

Wolfeboro

There’s been a lot of recent economic data that shows the U.S. econ-omy is slowing. Whether we go into a recession or just a broad slowdown is yet to be seen; however, it makes sense to plan for either.

What I am referring to by “plan” is not a liq-uidation of your invest-ment portfolio; however, it may be a good time to review your current holdings and see if they match your current ob-jectives. For example, if you are nearing or in retirement and your portfolio of investments is made up of equities or equity-based mutual funds then your portfo-lio is still designed for accumulation of assets. The stocks or equity mutual funds may have a dividend or income component but are not designed for the distri-bution of those assets in retirement.

The equity markets have been rolling along since the spring of 2009 with really no major bumps in the road. This lack of bumps – or should I say major cor-rections – have lulled us into a false sense of secu-

rity and complacency. Those who are retired or approaching retire-ment may have thought they’ll just sell assets for income, and typical-ly that amount has been 4 percent per year. But what if history repeats itself as it seems too of-ten do and we go into a correction followed by a stagnant equity market?

The concept of “se-quence of returns” says that if the money that you had earmarked for retirement income di-minishes and you’re still taking out the amount of income based on what you had at the point of starting your income, then your retirement you can run out of mon-ey very quickly. That is why you would hear me state time and time again that we must plan for the income with sus-tainable steady predict-able investments for income that then, and only then, can we keep money at market risk for growth purposes. If it takes all of your assets for steady, sustainable income, then so be it.

As a slowdown or re-cession approaches you would still want to adjust your equity holdings to more defensive stocks or ETFs that represent things in the economy that people will still use even in a retracting econ-omy or slowdown. De-fensive stocks are stocks based on companies that traditionally offer goods and services that people simply don’t give up in a slowing economy. Phar-maceuticals, food, alco-hol, cigarettes and a host

of other basic necessities are considered defen-sive. Certain technology stocks that have already slowed down significant-ly are not. Capital expen-diture by large compa-nies tends to slow down as they rein in their bud-gets. While there seem to be a lot of jobs available, the quality of these jobs and pay is questionable.

The business cycle is typically made up of peaks and troughs. Troughs can be lower and the peaks can be higher during very good or very bad times. 2008 was the last deep trough. The sluggishness of this recovery has led us to very low peaks, so this slowdown may not feel as bad as it would be coming off a really good expanding economy.

Now is as good of a time as any to review your investments.

THE WINNIPESAUKEE TALKIE

Home staging for the summer lifestyle

BY RANDY HILMAN

Wolfeboro

If you read this col-umn, you know I believe that a home’s appear-ance is as important to a successful sale as mo-tivation, price, condition and location.

The digital age em-phasizes appearance. It demands of us that we showcase our homes for sale in high quality photos and videos. It’s the critical first impres-sion phase followed by the walk up and walk through.

Important to all three

The Real RepoRTThe Real RepoRTThe Real RepoRTR E C E N T R E A L E S T A T E T R A N S A C T I O N S

Town Address Type Price Seller Buyer

ABOUT THE REAL REPORT Here are recent real estate transactions in Alton and

the surrounding areas. These sales summaries are in-formational only, not a legal record. Names shown are

usually the first listed in the deed. Sales might involve additional parties or locations. Prices are usually based on tax stamps and might be inaccurate for public agen-cy sales. Refer to actual public documents before forming opinions or relying on this information. Additional pub-licly recorded information on these sales, prior sales and

data from Department of Revenue Administration forms is available at www.real-data.com or 669-3822. Copyright 2011. Real Data Corp. In the column “Type”: land= land only; L/B= land and building; MH= mobile home; and COND=condominium.

“viewing phases” is the creation of a living en-vironment that’s in step with the season in which a sale is anticipated, ex-perts say. In winter, for example, the emphasis may be on warmth and safety. In summer, lei-sure and relaxation.

Since buyers relate what they view to per-sonal visions, memories, lifestyles or other un-met needs, appearance must be consistent from first photo to visit and should be orchestrat-ed in the context of the seasons to facilitate the desired emotional con-nection, says accredit-ed home staging expert Robin Webster, owner of Wolfeboro-based Great Impressions Staging.

“So, we know that homes that show well sell faster and for more money than homes that do not, when priced cor-rectly, because we part with our money emo-

tionally and justify do-ing so with reason,” Ms. Webster says.

“Our goal in staging a home for sale in sum-mer is to create an envi-ronment that suggests a summer vacation expe-rience to which buyers will relate emotionally, not rationally,” Webster says.

Summer is an import-ant season in the Lakes Region, as many of the area’s homes are owned by seasonal residents and used as vacation get-aways. Vacation home-buyers, meanwhile, are very often former va-cation renters who are now ready, willing and able to purchase.

Because these pro-spective buyers have emotional connections to the area, they subcon-sciously want those ear-lier experiences to con-tinue in the home they choose. Notes Webster:

“We all reminisce

about our pasts and our past vacations and we have deep feelings about how our experiences made us feel. It could be catching our first fish, playing scrabble on the porch, hearing a partic-ular screen door slam, roasting marshmallows, catching fireflies or sharing stories by the fire. The vacation home buyer, just like the buy-er of any home, wants to connect the past with present and future op-portunities for new but similar experiences with family and friends.”

So how does the home staging professional stage a home for sum-mer? One cannot obvi-ously anticipate every individual experience, but exterior and inte-rior living spaces can be arranged to take ad-vantage of the season’s amenities in ways that enables potential buyers to insert their own emo-

tional drivers into the living space. Webster calls it helping buyers, “feel the love.”

“Today’s buyers are savvy, and they do their homework. They are looking at location, qual-ity, and amenities, but ultimately they make decisions based on how spaces make them feel,” she says.

Vacation home or not, a dwelling offered for sale during the sum-mer months should put a premium on natural light, which means cre-ating interior spaces that reflect light instead of absorbing it, Webster says. This means strip-ping rooms of wallpaper; removing window treat-ments, especially dated heavy curtains and va-lances, and repainting everything in relaxed, neutral colors of pale blues, greens, soft yel-lows and warm grays.

Furnishings block not only light but also the ability of the eye to “read” a room’s dimen-sions and visual qual-ities. Rooms should be de-cluttered, de-person-alized and re-arranged, with just essential fur-nishings, such as art-work, lamps, furniture, and small accessories used judiciously. Strong accents of red and or-ange, used sparingly, add a splash of excite-ment to a room, Webster says.

A few strategically placed “props” also send subliminal messages that trigger certain life-style emotions. Web-ster offers a few of her emotional trigger tricks here:

Mountaintop home: The appeal is the broad view of nature. Place a telescope near a view window; place a large bird book and binocu-lars on a side table; have boots and a walking stick next to a side door; add birch logs to the fireplace. These things heighten a buyer’s con-nection to the home.

Ocean front home: Place white, wooden Adirondack chairs on the lawn; install a flag-pole and raise the Stars and Stripes; place potted geraniums at the front door; place a tray of lob-ster tools conspicuous-ly in the kitchen and a decorative dish filled with seashells on a table; by the door, have a tote bag filled with a buck-et, shovel and colorful towel; have white floor length sheers blow in the breeze.

Golf community home: Park a golf cart with bag attached in the driveway. Stage an out-door dining area with flowers; add a bottle of wine and glasses on a tray with scorecards and golf gloves.

Lake home: Have a hammock in a quiet spot; set water skis on the dock; place a tackle box and fishing poles in a corner of the boat house; hang a nautical map of the lake (marking you are here); create a fire pit with chairs around it, have sticks and a bucket of marshmallows near-by for showings; pull colorful kayaks onto the beach.
