Huggins unveils plans for new wellness facility in Alton
BY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
ALTON — Residents of
Alton and surrounding communities may soon be able to
find medical services a little
closer to home, with
Wolfeboro-based Huggins
Hospital developing plans for
a new wellness facility near
the Alton Traffic Circle.
During a brief presentation at the Alton Centennial
Rotary Club’s Home, Garden
and Recreation Show on
March 29, Jodi Balint, Vice
President of Physician Services at Huggins, unveiled
the hospital’s plans to construct a new walk-in care
center and rehabilitation facility at the intersection of
Range Road and New
Durham Road, behind McDonald’s.
While nothing has been
set in stone yet, Balint said
(adding that the proposal will
be brought before the planning board in May or June),
the current plan calls for a
two-story building measuring between 15,000 and 17,000
square feet, with space for a
primary care office (which
would be moved from its current location on Main Street),
a walk-in care center including lab services and an X-ray
facility, and a rehabilitation
center, complete with a pool.
The proposed facility, she
said, is also being planned
with an eye toward space for
visiting specialists in areas
such as orthopedics on a
once-a-month basis.
“This is pretty exciting for
us,” she said, adding that
Huggins views the proposed
wellness facility as a “resource for the community.”
“We have a need” for a facility like this, she explained,
adding that the hospital’s existing Main Street office is located in a former Victorian
mansion, an environment
that Huggins does not consider conducive to efficient
services or patient comfort.
Although Huggins hopes
to break ground on the new
facility in late summer or
early fall, Balint explained,
they are looking at what will
most likely be a phased fiveyear construction project,
due to the specific approvals
required for different parts
of the proposed building.
Asked if the new facility
would accept all insurance
carriers, Balint replied that
Huggins itself participates
with all carriers, while individual doctors associated
with satellite offices accept
“most.”
Resident Philip Laurion
asked if the pool would be
open to the public, or if it was
intended for use by patients
only.
Balint explained that due
to the permits required for
the project, Huggins would
need to be “careful” when
regulating the use of the
pool, and that it is currently
intended only for patients.
Laurion also asked if
there were any plans in place
to hire additional staff for
the walk-in care center.
Balint replied that Huggins is currently looking at
additional staff for the walkin facility, and for the primary care center, as well.
The current staffing plan,
she explained, calls for two
primary care providers (a
physician and physician’s assistant) and a provider for
the walk-in center.
The hospital, she added,
plans to monitor the growth
in need for services within
the local community, and will
continue to staff appropriately.
If the need should arise
for additional services within the next five years, she
said, Huggins has already
considered the possibility of
bringing on a third primary
care provider.
Asked if the hospital had

BARNSTEAD — Police
were led to the front door of
three burglary suspects last
week with a helping paw
from the newest member of
Alton’s police force.
At 3:30 a.m. on the morning of March 26, the Alton
Police Department received
a call for assistance from
Barnstead officers investigating a burglary during
which several perpetrators
kicked in the back door of an
as-yet unidentified residence and removed several
items.
Officer Christian Johnson and his canine partner,
Zeke, responded to the scene,
where Zeke was able to pick
up the suspects’ trail, leading the Barnstead officers on
a four-mile trek across several neighborhoods and a
nearby lake to the chief suspect’s residence.

the primary care hours
would not change.
For the walk-in center, she
said, Huggins is considering
“something outside the normal 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. range.”
Addressing the insurance
issue, she explained that
Huggins operates a “comprehensive community care
program.”
“We work with our patients in every way we possibly can,” she said.
Huggins is scheduled to
appear before the zoning
board tonight, Thursday,
April 3, at 7 p.m. for a parking

Balint replied that Huggins
is “sensitive” to environmentally friendly design features,
and recently included several “green” features in the
construction of a similar facility in Tamworth, including geothermal heating.
“We have comfort with
those materials,” she explained.
Laurion asked if Huggins

office would most likely be

Committee sides with Krause’s
recommendations for repairs to ACS
BY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
ALTON — Work crews
may end up repairing more
than damaged rafters this
summer if the Alton School
Board votes to follow a recommendation made last
week by the Construction
and Finance subcommittee
of its Buildings and Grounds
Committee.
At the suggestion of Superintendent Kathy Holt, the
members of the Construction and Finance subcommittee met with Chip Krause
of CMK Architects on March
25 to observe the deflection
in the ceiling of a middle
school classroom that led to
the discovery of damaged
roof rafters in late February.
Krause presented the full
committee with the same
proposal and cost estimates
he gave to the school board
on March 24, explaining that
the cost to repair the damage
in Classroom 2 and inspect
the status of the framing in
another classroom would be
approximately $112,000.
All 24,000 square feet of
framing in the middle school
wing should be looked at,
however, in order to assess
the condition of other classrooms and eliminate the potential for future deflections,
he said.
Krause also suggested to
the school board that with
the roof already opened up,
they should consider installing rough sprinkler pip-
ing in preparation for a fire
suppression system down
the road.
Asked if he felt the project
would be eligible for state
aid, Krause replied that aid
would not be available unless
the repairs were used as part
of an overall plan to renovate
the entire building.
The time table for making
the necessary repairs is also
extremely tight, he added, explaining that the school
board would have to put the
proposal out to bid within the
next month in order to have
a contractor on board by
June.
Holt stressed the urgency
of the issue, as well, explaining that both the town fire
chief and the structural engineer who examined the affected classrooms made it
clear that they would not feel
comfortable allowing the
school to operate for another
full year unless the damage
was repaired.
It would also not be feasible, she added, to attempt to
keep the snow load on the
middle school roof shoveled
down to a foot through another winter.
Holt also asked the Construction and Finance subcommittee to examine middle school Science teacher
Mike Major’s room, where
she said a lack of proper ventilation has led to sweltering
temperatures in May and
June.
Due to the health risk
posed by the temperature increase, she explained, the
state Department of Education granted only conditional approval to Alton Central
through the end of 2009, until an appropriate ventilation
system has been installed.
After examining both issues, the subcommittee recommended that the school
board explore avenues to
make the necessary repairs
to the roof framing and install an air conditioning system in Major’s room in order
to provide a safe environment for students.
Asked how the necessary
repairs would be funded,
Holt replied that $280,000 is
currently available through
an appropriation approved
by voters at this year’s town
election, and that an additional $40,000 could be transferred from the district’s contingency fund.
The school board, she
said, also has the option to
call for a special district
meeting in the event that additional funding is needed.
The board is expected to
vote on the Construction and
Finance subcommittee’s recommendation at its next
meeting, which has been
scheduled for Monday, April
14, at 6:30 p.m. in the middle
school library.
The next meeting of the
Buildings and Grounds Committee has been set for Thursday, April 17, at 6 p.m. in the
same location.
Author Nikki Andrews to speak
at Gilman Library April 14
ALTON — What do you
get when a picture framer,
musician and crafter accepts
a dare to write a novel in a
month?
In the case of Nikki Andrews, you get “Chicken
Bones,” the tale of a racer, a
rock star and a hiker who get
caught up in a desperate attempt to save a galaxy from
an unnatural wave of violence. Their unlikely guide is
a three-legged gender-swapping alien from the future,
who tells them, “if all goes as
it should, none of this will
have happened, except that it
will have.”
Andrews, who readily admits that time travel gives
her a headache, has been
writing fiction for personal
pleasure for many years. In
2001, her kids dared her to
participate in National Novel Writing Month, on online
challenge to write a 50,000word novel during the month
of November. She surprised
herself by completing the
task with 90 minutes to spare.
Andrews has gone on to
complete the National Novel
Writing Month challenge for
five consecutive years, has
written several novels and
her short story, “Dear Auntie,” was recently published
by “The Occasional Moose,”
a literary magazine. She is also a member of Talespinners
and the New Hampshire
Writers’ Project.
The public is invited to
hear Andrews speak at the
Gilman Library in Alton on
Monday, April 14, at 7 p.m.
She will discuss her novels,
the writing process and
whatever else the audience
wishes to know about. The
program is free of charge
and is being sponsored by Alton Book Chat, a monthly
book discussion group.
Please join them for a lively presentation, some free refreshments and the chance to
purchase one of Andrews’
books, which will be offered
for sale.

ALTON — With voters
having thrown their support
behind a request on this
year’s town Warrant that all
boards, commissions and
committees videotape their
meetings, the Alton budget
committee voted on March
27 to accept the will of the
public, and record all future
meetings for broadcast on
Metrocast’s public access
channel.
Pointing out that 76 percent of those who voted on
Article 40 this year were in
favor of it, resident Bob
Longabaugh (the lead petitioner behind the article)
suggested that the vote represented a clear message
from the residents of Alton
that they wanted to see the
budget committee on television.
Committee
Chairman
Steve Miller asked what the
cost per meeting would be to
hire a videographer.
Admitting that he initially had a static, unmanned
camera in mind when he
submitted
the
article,
Longabaugh replied that the
flat fee for a videographer
would be $37.50 per meeting.

Come early for Best Selection
sell Bailey, he said, recently
informed him that there
would be sufficient funding
available in the selectmen’s
budget to cover the cost of
taping as many meetings as
the budget committee felt
necessary.
Estimating the total cost
to be between $850 and $1,100
a year, Miller asked whether
Longabaugh (who said he
had volunteered his own
time and equipment to document the March 27 meeting)
should be considered an independent contractor hiring
his services out to the committee, and if he or the committee would be responsible
for finding an alternate
videographer if he were unable to attend a particular
meeting.
Committee member Virgil Macdonald questioned
why the committee would be
responsible for finding a replacement.
If the money for the videographer came from the selectmen’s budget, he said, it
should be up to either Bailey
or the town to ensure that a
cameraman is present at
every meeting.
Miller disagreed, explaining that according to his understanding, it would be up
to the budget committee
chair to find a replacement.
In response to Miller’s motion that all future meetings
be taped, Macdonald suggested that the issue be
tabled until the committee
had more information on
who would be responsible for
taping the meetings, and
where the money would be
coming from.
Vice Chair Karen Painter
felt that the committee
should vote on the motion
first, and then work out the
logistics.
Committee member Liz
Dominick agreed with Macdonald that there was not
enough information available on the logistics. She felt,
however, that “the voters
have spoken.”
Miller said that while Article 40 was advisory in nature, he felt that “the town
spoke loud and clear” during
the election, and would agree
with their decision.
“Every meeting must be
taped going forward,” he
said, adding that he felt it
was the committee’s responsibility to ensure that their
meetings were recorded.
The best way to do that, he
said, would be to hire an independent contractor.
The committee voted
unanimously in favor of
Miller’s motion.
Re-organizing
With former Vice Chair
Greg Fuller absent from the
meeting, the remaining committee members appointed
Miller to another term as
chairman, with Painter as
the new vice chair.
Macdonald, Fuller, and
Painter will serve as Alton’s
representatives
to
the
Prospect Mountain High
School budget committee,
with Dominick as an alternate.

THE BAYSIDER
SECTION A, PAGE 4
Moving in the
right direction
In these relatively tough economic times, we
are encouraged to see one local entity taking
steps to expand its operations in the Alton
area.
Huggins Hospital, based in Wolfeboro,
recently announced plans to build a new facility near the Alton traffic circle. This facility is
intended to take the place of the hospital’s
current Alton facility, located on Main Street
in an old home that isn’t exactly conducive to
medical care.
This facility would house a primary care
office, much like the current one in the Main
Street office, as well as a walk-in lab center, an
X-ray facility and a rehabilitation center with
a pool.
There is no doubt that this facility will be a
great benefit to the people of Alton and the
surrounding communities. Having a facility
like this in our backyard allows people to stop
making the long trips to Laconia, Rochester,
Somersworth, Concord or even the shorter
trip north to Wolfeboro for rehabilitation and
other medical issues. Keeping away from long
trips will save residents money on gas and
wear and tear on their automobiles, particularly in the winter months when the frost
heaves are big enough to swallow even the
largest vehicle.
We know that the plan is a long-term plan
and that the hospital expects this to be a fiveyear construction project, but it is encouraging to see such optimistic growth.
Huggins has taken a number of steps to
work with the communities around the eastern side of Lake Winnipesaukee. Ground will
be broken in the spring on the new hospital
facility in Wolfeboro, which will surely be a
shining beacon for healthcare in the Lakes
Region. And with facilities all around the
region, Huggins is making an impact on the
health of the region’s residents in many ways.
Huggins currently operates Back Bay
Rehabilitation in Wolfeboro, a facility that
many residents of Alton may be familiar with.
We have heard only glowing reports about the
services rendered at that facility and we imagine that the proposed Alton facility will provide the same great level of service.
Huggins will be going before the Alton zoning board many times in the coming months
and years as they prepare to build this new
facility and continue forward with the plans.
In fact, the hospital will be in front of the zoners tonight, April 3, looking for a parking variance.
We are sure that Huggins will go about
things the right way, as they did when proposing their new hospital in Wolfeboro. And if
they follow the letter of the law, as we believe
they will, we hope the zoning board and all
other boards in town are receptive to their
plans and allow this facility to be built.
Once completed, the new Huggins facility
undoubtedly will be a resource for the community for years to come.

EDITOR
More to amendment than meets the eye
To the Editor:
There should be serious consideration given to amending several points in
the warrant article on Local Self Government and Water Rights. We should
protect our water sources and should do
everything in our power to stop the
wholesale withdrawal of water or privatizing our natural water resources.
No one wants a large corporation in
Barnstead to take our water and sell it
commercially.
However, researching this a little
closer and understanding the true agenda of this warrant, it was an attractive
initiative with a subtle underlying agenda by proponents, using the umbrella of
protecting our water to pull the wool
over our eyes.
The Legal Defense Fund and CELDF
stands for much more than protecting
our water table. The principled stands
on toxic dumps and sludge should be
praised but their extremist agenda is
anticorporation at every turn; taking
social stands on economic equity, organized agri-business, corporate retailing and a wholesale redefinition of our
economy and lifestyle.
CELDF’s Web site states: “Recognizing natural rights would enable environmental groups and community activists to directly represent the interests of an ecosystem or natural community. Shoehorning a property interest for a particular person or community would become an irrelevant inquiry, replaced instead by automatic legal standing for the natural system or
community, and an inquiry focused
solely on whether the action interferes
with the existence and vitality of it. Legal damages would then be awarded to
restore the system or community to its
uninjured state.”
This well-meaning warrant article
was a Trojan horse presented at a meeting of dwindling attendance numbers.
[One] local advocate slyly pushed her
agenda, which could result in any part
of nature being protected, perhaps even
determining what you can do with your
home or land. With a thinning crowd,
[she] zealously pushed this far left agenda of anti-business and development in
the favor of some utopian communal
existence, through this warrant. I am
not sure that Barnstead residents understand nor were they aware of this
cloaked ploy.
The CELDF Web site links to
Bioneers, a far left organization supporting the replacement of our present
system with a Socialist form of government. Their agenda includes the end to
capitalism, the development of collective farms and other eco-socialist positions that would make Karl Marx blush.
No one is in favor of our ground water being commercially developed or
our land being used as a toxic dump, but
anyone doing research on the proponents of the warrant will see a far more
insidious, doctrinaire and dogmatic
agenda.
Over the next few months there will
be a petition circulating to amend the
ordinance so that our water is protected but this extremist agenda is removed.
I urge residents to support this change
and remove the radical political entanglements and language.

“Reimbursement” comes right from the taxpayers
To the Editor:
On the front page of your March 27
edition, Michelle Rosado made an interesting comment about school funding.
Quote: "The District would be entitled to a reimbursement of 45 percent
from the state Department of Education."
She further indicates that the local
taxpayers would be responsible for the
remaining $8 million.
I am astounded that anyone would
make such an assumption. I would like
to point out the fact that all matching
funds, grants and aid money comes
from the taxpayer. The government,
whether it be local, county, state, or federal, has no source of revenue other
than taxation. Government has a cost of
operation that must be borne by the rev-
enue stream, therefore in order to "reimburse" any amount, it must collect
more in taxes than the reimbursement.
Would it not make more sense to just
spend $1 on a local project than to pay
$1.18 in taxes and get a $1 "reimbursement?”
If everybody would just refuse these
"reimbursements" and their attached
requirements and conditions, we could
save a huge amount of money. Governments commonly threaten to withhold
funding as a form of arm-twisting to
force expensive or unpopular legislation as well as unnecessary regulation.
A common argument is that a lot of
money is raised by taxing businesses,
utilities and services rather than people. The fallacy of this argument is that
those entities do not pay taxes, fees or
fines. They pass them on to the con-
sumer, as they do all costs of doing business, otherwise they do not remain in
business.
The argument that "other" people pay
is also fallacious. When someone else
gets a "reimbursement" then we are the
"other" people that are paying.
An analogy would be to buy a cup of
coffee for $1, I take $0.55 out of my right
pocket, and $0.45 of "matching" funds
from my left pocket. The only difference
between this analogy and government
funding is that I have not paid someone
to reach into my pockets.
I understand this because I have been
both in business, and in government.
I just wish more people could figure
it out.

Congratulations Senator Sgambati
To the Editor:
I was recently made aware that one
of New Hampshire’s own is being honored for her accomplishments nationally.
On Tuesday this week, the American
Medical Association will award the “Dr
Nathan Davis Award for Outstanding
Government Service” to state senator
Kathy Sgambati. This means that our
senator has been selected as the most
outstanding of all state legislators
throughout the nation for her work that
has advanced public health. This recognition makes me once again proud of
the quality of people we have in this
state and their dedication to causes affecting us all for little reward.
Before becoming our senator, Senator Sgambati worked tirelessly under a
number of state administrations fighting for our children and general social
service needs in this state. I am honored
to have her representing me now in the
state senate. She should be congratulated by us all for this outstanding achievement.
Thank you and congratulations senator Sgambati.

The slippery slope of the helping hand
■
Her voice won’t be silenced
BY JACK TERRILL
Lakes Region United Way
To the Editor:
I attempted to go to the selectmen's meeting Tuesday
March 25 to ask a question - Sorry no go. They were going to
be too busy with business to listen to the public. They had
not blocked out any time for public input. One selectman
asked me if it was important? I told him it was important to
me or I wouldn't be there. My quest was to ask why when the
voters had voted an over $390,000 budget for the police department, I still needed to take vacation time from work to
speak to someone about a non-emergency issue, or call 911,
an improper use of the emergency number, wait for an officer to return my call and then make an appointment to discuss my issue. I wanted to know why, when the people voted
for the line item for the police department that would give us
better staffing for the police, two years in a row, we don't have
it.
The selectman informed me that he and his fellow selectmen had issues with the actual need of more officers and
their scheduling. He also felt we did not need 24 hour a day
coverage, questioned hiring a prosecutor and suggested that
we use the state police far more now then in the past.
I take issue that any taxpayer’s voice at a selectmen's meeting is not held in the highest priority.
I take issue that once swore in, the selectmen do not feel
the need to use the monies voted by the taxpayers in the way
the taxpayers voted it be used. Why bother showing us a
budget, just give the selectmen a large sum of money so they
can have at it.
The selectmen hired an administrator at a much higher
rate than was voted on, but won't hire a police officer.
The selectmen spent many an hour looking for, interviewing and selecting a police chief with experience to run
the police department, then micro-manage his department.
Until the last election, how much police experience was sitting on the board? We elect persons to positions in this town,
to run a department and then our all knowing selectmen micromanage them, and don't give them the money we voted
they should have. We could save a huge amount of money by
not hiring or electing person to the position of department
head and just letting the all-knowledgeable selectmen run
everything. Our well-paid department heads’ hands are being tied.
I take issue that once voted into office, our selectmen forget how they got there and that they are serving at the pleasure of the voters and just like this year, can be replaced next
election.
Be reminded selectmen, the voters aren't as dumb as you
think. I (they) will hold you accountable. They will speak
even if you try to silence them. I couldn't speak at the meeting, so I take my case to the public. Voters, if you can't speak
at the meetings, write a letter to the editor and let the selectmen know what you think.

It has been interesting to
observe the debate over town
funding of social service
agencies. There is truth and
passion on both sides of the
discussion. The good news is
that there is conversation
about the important issue of
non-profit funding. We
should keep talking, because
we should make sure that we
consider all points of view.
I will offer my point of
view from what I have seen
and know so far:
1. It is unrealistic to expect town budgets to pay for
services if there is no realtime penalty to the town for
not paying for those services.
2. It is unrealistic to expect the general population
to perform the necessary due
diligence prior to voting in a
general election for their favorite social service nonprofit.
3. There are enough resources within our community to accomplish what we
need to accomplish in our
community.
Regarding point one,
when budgets are tight every
dollar must show return.
Town budgets tend to be
highly pragmatic, focusing
on accomplishing the bare
minimum with the least dollars. That is the charge of the
elected officials. Town budgets aren’t usually designed to
be visionary. And it takes vision and patience to see the
return in social service investing.
That isn’t to say that good
public-private opportunities
don’t exist. There are plenty.
For example, given that Belknap County is responsible for
the operation of the county
nursing home, then it makes
great sense and prudent use
of taxpayer dollars to invest
in programs like Meals on
Wheels. After all, if you can
help someone stay in their
own home for an additional
two more years by offering
support systems that might
cost $20,000 a year, not only
will that person be happier,
but the county would have
posted savings of around
$60,000 from the investment.
We, as a community, need to
explore other opportunities
like this at a much more involved level. I am all for maximizing our return on any
dollars invested.
Regarding point two, investing scarce resources demands wise investing. Understanding your potential
partner prior to financial investing is just plain good
business. Due diligence is an
important part of our work
at Lakes Region United Way,
and we feel we have a strong
understanding of our partners and the social service
landscape in the Lakes Region. This is an ongoing effort, because with time
comes change, in both the
partners and the landscape.
It would be wise to utilize the
existing knowledge banks in
the community when it
comes to the very slippery
slope of the helping hand. I
would prefer an approach
that framed a strategy for the
citizenry to consider, rather
than just voting on a roster.
Maybe we could utilize the
expertise at our existing
United Way for such projects?
To point three, if we remove the silo mindset that
can hinder progress and
think in terms of collaboration, we would see a different
picture. Every investor in the
Lakes Region United Way is
a taxpayer, and yet I do not
hear them complain about
double dipping. Corporate
leaders and individuals here
in the Lakes Region are investing in the United Way
and other social services because they recognize the importance of social investment. And there are many
more social investors out
there that we have yet to engage. If we demonstrate to
those people a cohesive,
strategic approach to our social challenges, we will have
all the resources we need.
Back in the old days when I
worked for a large construction firm, we had hundreds
of trucks and dozens of
crews and plants spread over
multiple areas in three
states. And when each of
those areas did their own
thing, we had resource shortages. But when the areas
worked together, we had
plenty of resources and accomplished more as a unit.
The same philosophy can
certainly apply to our social
investment strategies. Before
I am accused of being a
dreamer (there are worse
things I suppose), let me say
I recognize the above is easier said than done! But it sure
seems to me the writing is on
the wall. And it also seems to
me the power to change
things lies among us.
Lastly, during this debate
it seems some of the nonprofit agencies have been
forced to defend themselves
as talk of defunding increased. I will offer the following analogy as a way to
assure the public that our
system of social services in
the Lakes Region, while not
perfect, is admirable. It is
very difficult to build a successful, sustainable business
model even when you know
the majority of your clients
will pay you for your services, so now try building a successful, sustainable model
when you know the majority
of your clients will not be
paying you for your services.
Let us not underestimate the
importance of our non-profits in the Lakes Region, and
the role they play in making
this the most desired area in
the most livable state in the
country.

Milfoil committee discusses
treatment plan for New Durham
BY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
NEW DURHAM — After
winning the support of voters at last month’s Town
Meeting, where they were
given $10,000 in funding for
treatment, New Durham’s
Milfoil and Invasive Aquatic
Weeds
Committee
met
briefly on March 26 to discuss their treatment plan for
the Merrymeeting River later this year.
Committee Chairman Art
Hoover explained that the
plan at this point is to implement an incremental treatment schedule at various
points along the river, aimed
at reducing the extent of the
infestation, and making the
invasive plant easier to deal
with next year.
The committee, Hoover
said, is still consulting with
experts to determine the appropriate type of treatment.
While treating the river,
the committee also plans to
survey other bodies of water,
including Marchs Pond,
Chalk Pond, Shaw’s Pond
and Club Pond, to determine
how far the infestation has
spread.
Hoover said his primary
concern was halting the infestation in the river before it
can spread upstream, in the
direction of Jones Pond, or
downstream, into the marsh,
and, eventually, Alton Bay.
For now, Hoover said, the
committee is considering the
idea of expanding to include
new members with an interest in particular bodies of
water, such as Club Pond.
The drawdown and treatment of the river, he said, is
slated to take place over a
four-week period in June,
when the water will be at the
optimum temperature for effective treatment.
The committee agreed, at
Hoover’s suggestion, to table
discussion of additional
members until their next
meeting, at which Hoover
recommended they map out
the treatment plan in detail
with representatives from
the state Department of Environmental Services and
the treatment company.
Hoover also suggested
that resident Ed Neister (who
spearheaded a successful effort against milfoil in Barnstead, and has been recognized by the state for his
knowledge of the plant),
Road Agent Mark Fuller and
the board of selectmen be invited to the next meeting.
“The real work here starts
next month,” he said, adding
that the committee’s workload will likely be “pretty intense” through September.
It will be interesting, he
added, to see what, if any, impact the drawdown of the river last fall had, and what impact the first chemical application will have.
Next meeting
The committee ordinarily
meets on the third Wednesday of each month at Town
Hall.
Their next meeting has
been scheduled for Wednesday, April 16, at 6:30 p.m.

Fox Tale Books to host Rita Schiano Friday
NEW DURHAM — Fox
Tale Books is thrilled to announce that author Rita Schiano will be at the bookstore
on Friday, April 4, at 6:30 p.m.
to read and discuss her new
book, “Painting the Invisible
Man.” Drinks and hors devours will be served.
In 2001, while researching
the online archives of the
Syracuse Post-Standard, her
home-town newspaper, freelance writer Rita Schiano
made a keying error, a simple
mistake that led her to a path
she’d been avoiding most of
her life; a journey inside the
world of her father, killed
gangland-style more than
two decades ago. Now, Schiano has turned that difficult
journey into an engrossing
novel, “Painting the Invisible
Man,” which explores the
complex dynamics of growing up in an Italian family on
the fringes of the Mafia.
Set in Providence, R.I., the
story is told first person
through the main character,
Anna Matteo. “The way it begins for Anna is how it began
for me: a simple keying error.
I accidentally charged 10 articles instead of the one I
needed to my credit card. After retrieving my client’s
news article, I began typing
in names of people I knew.
Why I typed my father’s
name, I’ll never know.”

Thirty-seven articles from
the 1990s came up that referenced her father. “It wouldn’t
have been all that strange had
my father not died in 1976.”
The headline that caught her
attention mentioned FBI
tapes where the man under
surveillance “bragged” about
getting away with murder.
The man on the tape had been
acquitted in 1979 of the murder of Schiano’s father.
“At that moment I knew I
had to explore this story,” said
Schiano, a resident of Sturbridge, Mass. And it seems
that the moment she made up
her mind, a series of events
kept pushing Schiano in that
direction. “In the novel, Anna
quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson: Once you make a decision, the universe conspires
to make it happen. Every time
I backed away from writing
this story, something would
push me forward.”
For Schiano, the writing of
the book was tremendously
cathartic. “I had to confront
truths about my father I had
chosen to ignore for most of
my life. Anna’s self-exploration was intensely personal.” Despite the personal element of the story, Schiano believes the lesson is universal.
“Anna’s life experience, in
and of itself, is unique to her.
Yet the exploration of one’s
personal history and the
themes of forgiveness, atonement and redemption are
what readers will relate to.”
Schiano’s first novel,
“Sweet Bitter Love,” was published in 1997. Since then, she
has contributed several short
stories to journals and anthologies.
She
recently
teamed with Paul Gemme to
develop a one-hour television
drama, T.I.M.E. Share, Inc.
Fox Tale Books is located
at 7 Depot Road in New
Durham. For more information, call 859-7001. Schiano’s

Historical Society has big plans for freight building
BY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
ALTON — For more than
a century, it has stood behind Town Hall, a silent, vacant reminder of Alton’s
historic ties to the B&M
Railroad.
Now, the Alton Historical
Society hopes to give the J.
Jones & Son Freight Building a new lease on life as a
museum and community
gathering place commemorating the town’s connection to the rails.
Marty Cornelissen, the
Society’s new vice president, explained during an
interview on March 26 that
the Society recently initiated a membership drive as a
way to enlist the public’s
help in restoring the longabandoned freight building
to its former glory.
Through a series of mailings, presentations to local
organizations, informational displays at local events
and open houses over the
next few months, the Historical Society will be seeking to recruit enough new
members to qualify for a
grant from the Robert and
Karin Finlay Foundation,
which has pledged an award
of $25,000 each to the public
library, museum, and historical society that shows
the greatest increase in
membership by Oct. 31.
According to Cornelissen, the current plan for the
freight building calls for the
first 50-foot section (closest
to the police station) to be
converted into a 1,225square-foot museum where
the Society could display its
growing collection of artifacts.
The remaining two sections of the building, he
said, would become a 760square-foot
conference
room, with seating for 65
people, which the Society
could use for its own presentations, and also lend to
other community organizations for meetings and special events.
Cornelissen and a small
group of volunteers have
completed a substantial
amount of structural work
on the building, including
the replacement of sills
(eight-foot by eight-foot timbers) around the base of the
building (the original sills
had almost completely rotted away, Cornelissen said),
and the installation of electricity, running water and a
septic system, which the Society funded through membership dues and private donations.
The Society’s goal this
year (hopefully with the
grant money), Cornelissen
said, is to re-face the end of
the building opposite the police station, replace the
clapboards on the back side,
and re-paint the exterior.
“We’re reaching out to
the community to bring this
project together and make
it happen,” he said, adding
that the proposed museum
would be “the town’s building.”
While the Society’s collection of artifacts is currently housed at the Gilman
Museum on Main Street, he
explained, that building is
owned by the town.
The freight building, he
said, would give the Historical Society a place of their
own.
“There are pluses all the
way around here,” Cornelissen said. “It’s Alton’s
history.”
While this year’s planned
improvements should take
care of the building’s exterior, he explained, the interior is still in need of electrical outlets, lights and a
fire suppression system.
The Society is also attempting to locate a
plumber willing to install
the piping and fixtures for a
unisex bathroom, he added.
While the freight building exists apart from the
Downtown Revitalization
Committee’s (DRC) B&M
Railroad Park (which includes the B&M Railroad
building, owned by the

“joint venture” with the
DRC to create a communitybuilding focal point that will
raise public awareness
about the town’s history.
Despite their hard work
and dedication over the past
year, Cornelissen said, the
Society and the DRC were
reminded that their efforts
ins have made it all the more
important, he said, for residents to understand that the
freight building and the railroad park belong to them.
A group for all ages
In an effort to change the
community’s perception of
who is involved in the Historical Society during the
membership drive, Cornelissen said, the Society
has created a new student
membership in addition to
its traditional single-person
and family memberships.
Two
students
from

Humane Society offering
rabies vaccine and more
LACONIA — Rabies, a viral disease capable of jumping from species to species all
the way to humans, can be
found worldwide, with the
exception of a few island nations. This ‘zoonotic’ disease
is generally contained within the wild kingdom by predators, but can jump that natural barrier via the family
dog or cat. Living in mostly
rural New Hampshire, we
are more likely to witness,
and experience the natural
world, including meeting
wildlife face to face.
New Hampshire state law
stipulates all cats and dogs
require rabies vaccination
and periodic boosters to ensure protection against this
terrible disease.
New Hampshire Humane
Society will host a spring rabies clinic at the shelter on
Meredith Center Road, Saturday, April 19, from 10 a.m.
to noon. Dr. Robert MacDonald will be administering the
vaccine to all who arrive for
this important shot.
The rabies clinic is open
to anyone with a kitten or
puppy older than 12 weeks of
age, or adult cat or dog needing the vaccine.
Cats must be in a carrier

Ella E. Hillsgrove
Lifelong Alton resident
ALTON — Ella E. Hillsgrove, age 88, of Dudley Road
in Alton, died March 22, at
Concord Hospital.
Born Dec. 22, 1919 in Alton, daughter of the late Walter and Edna (Bickford)
Goodwin, she was a lifelong
resident of Alton.
Ella had worked as a
farmer with the family
homestead and helped her
late husband Fred with their
construction business.
Widow of the late Fred N.
Hillsgrove, who died in 2004,
she is survived by five children: Norman W. Hillsgrove
of Alton, Albert H. Hills-
grove of Alton, Eunice J. Gerlach of Alton, Hayden A.
Hillsgrove of North Sandwich and Thomas B. Hillsgrove of Spring Grove, Pa.,
nine grandchildren, 10 great
grandchildren, also many
cousins, nieces and nephews.
A graveside service will be
held later in the spring at

Gilmanton Iron Works.
Arrangements are in the

and dogs on a leash to ensure
safety. There will be a slight
fee per animal.
Interested folks should
simply arrive at the Humane
Society on Saturday, April 19,
since the vaccines will be
given on a first come, first
served basis, no appointment necessary.
Further, the New Hampshire Humane Society Spay
Neuter Assistance Program
is available for folks to access
low cost sterilization services for their companion animals.
Fees are deeply discounted to help people afford the
surgery.
Shelter Executive Director Claudia Abdinoor states,
“74 families were able to access low cost spaying and
neutering services at the
shelter in 2007 for their privately owned pets. We fully
expect to extend this service
for many more this year as
we focus heavily on over-population. Simply put, we cannot ‘adopt our way [out]’ of
this problem. Spay neuter, is
the key.”
To apply to the program
for help, contact NHHS at
524-3252 for an application.
Development
Director
Marylee Gorham advised,
“Spay Neuter Fund donations received seed program,
and are restricted to provide
the finances necessary to underwrite the surgical services offered. Gifts come from
donors and businesses who
support our mission. We offer the services, and especially want to reach out to
the cat owners and those who
want to work with feral, and
barn cats. Neutering and
spaying that segment will
eventually put a dent in the
hideous feline over population problem we face in the
Lakes Region and beyond.”

MEN FROM THE CENTER BARNSTEAD CHRISTIAN CHURCH built a church for the Otomi people in central
Mexico recently.
Barnstead men build a church,
and hope, in Mexican village
BARNSTEAD — For 10
years, the Otomi people had
been praying for someone to
come and build their church.
Men from Center Barnstead Christian Church
(CBCC) recently returned
from a week-long mission
trip to central Mexico, where
they helped to construct a
church for the Otomi people.
While in Mexico however,
God did work in their hearts.
Prior to going on the mission trip, the men prepared
by completing a Bible study
called, Before You Pack Your
Bag Prepare Your Heart. The
study proved to be invaluable, as God prepared their
hearts for what was to come.
“Satan hates to give up his
territory and will use anyone or anything to keep it
from happening,” Pastor
Brian Gower said. “Satan
tried to rob the men of their
joy. First by delaying the

flight from Boston by 10
hours, which caused the
team to miss their connecting flight to Mexico by 15
minutes. When the team finally got to the work site, Satan tried to stop the work by
using people from the community and when that did
not work, Satan tied to stop
the work from within our
group. But as always, God
prevailed and His work was
accomplished.”
Paul Warren, another
member of the CBCC team
and trip coordinator, said
“We went to Mexico to build
a church and we came back
better men, husbands and fathers. I have seen poverty before from the window of a
speeding bus, but this was
the first time that I actually
interacted with poverty.
When you see that young
children are sleeping on
wooden pallets on a dirt floor
in a building with no heat, or
plumbing or furniture you
realize just how blessed we
are as Americans.
“It is very difficult for us
as Americans to understand
how a 14 year old cannot go
to school because he cannot
afford the $60 a year for the
uniform. The simple act of
giving a child that has no possessions a kite can make a
grown man weep,” he con-
tinued.
Another CBCC team
member, Dan Ward, said “My
heart was touched by many
aspects of this trip. To know
that the Otomi had been
praying for 10 years for this
church to be built and then
God letting us be a part of his
work was incredibly rewarding and humbling for me.”
Center Barnstead Christian Church would like to
thank everyone who prayed
and supported the team financially. Thank you Vinnie
and Roxanne Lupoli at the
White Buffalo who graciously hosted a delicious fund
raising spaghetti supper.
Finally, Paul Warren said,
“As a wealthy nation, God
has blessed us with abundance. We have an obligation
to use our wealth to minister
to those who are less fortunate. God’s word (the Bible)
tells us that Jesus says in
Mathew 25:40 ‘I tell you the
truth, whatever you did for
one of the least of these
brothers of mine, you did for
me.’ When you serve those
less fortunate in Mexico, or
Africa or Barnstead, you are
actually serving Jesus.”

status of the food service
budget (which began running a deficit last fall), Business Administrator Peter
Roche reported that during
January and February, revenue for the program exceeded expenditures for the
first time in months.
The upward trend, he said,
coincided with the implementation of suggestions
from Prospect Mountain
High School food service Director Kim Dubuque (such as
new vendors) in January.
“We’re finally seeing signs
that the program is heading
in the right direction,” he
said, adding that administrators are pursuing ways to increase participation in the
program, which has stayed
relatively flat over the past
few months.
SCHOOL BOARD: Board will meet again on Tuesday, April 8
FROM PAGE A1
nice Landry pointed out that
over the coming year, the
board will need to be conscious about bringing on new
hires at the appropriate position on the district’s stepand-track scale.
Vice Chair Keith Couch
suggested that the board
schedule a work session with
representatives from the
Barnstead Education Association (BEA) to brainstorm
ideas on how to move forward.
Compton advised the
board that contract negotiations could not be discussed
at a public meeting, and recommended a non-meeting
with the BEA.
Couch said he left the district meeting with “a number of things” to think about.
While he understood voters’ anxiety over the costs associated with the expansion
and the teacher’s contract,
Couch felt that there had
been too much focus on the
money issue, and not enough
on the “preponderance of
work” that school board and
Space Needs Committee
members put into both projects last year.
A sense of hysteria about
rising property taxes and
misinformation about the
board’s intentions, he said,
also played into the negative
vote.
Going forward, he said,
the board should strive to be
as open as possible with the
public.
“We, as a board, need to
over-saturate the world with
information on what we’re
going after,” he said, adding
that with the level of distrust
he saw among voters, the
board should seize opportunities to “keep each other
honest” and share information on projects such as the
expansion.
Chairwoman Diane Beijer
agreed, adding that she felt
individual board members
should make themselves
more accessible to the public.
Landry pointed out, however, that according to policy,
all communications from the
board are to go through the
chairperson.
Compton added that some
information, such as contract negotiations, cannot
be shared publicly until the
contract is ratified by both
parties.
Addressing the failure of
the teacher’s contract, Couch
suggested that school administrators try, over the course
of the coming year, to appeal
to residents’ appreciation of
what he called “the above and
beyond,” such as teachers
staying behind until 5 p.m. on
Fridays, when they are permitted to leave at 2:30 if they
wish.
Principal Tim Rice agreed,
explaining that he had spent
some time discussing the outcome of the district meeting
with teachers.
“The tone of the rhetoric
[at the meeting] was way over
the top,” Rice said, explaining that he noticed a heightened level of animosity and
personal attacks aimed at
both the faculty and the
board.
“Now is the time to highlight what we do” and how
teachers go over and above
the call of duty every day, he
added.
The board agreed to revisit some of their concerns at a
future meeting.

NEW DURHAM — In last
week’s front page story on the
New Durham selectmen’s
meeting, the wrong cost was
reported for residents who
wished to have curbside mail
delivery.
Road Agent Mark Fuller
was quoted as saying that the
estimated cost to each property owner was $4,000 to
$5,000. The correct estimate
is $400 to $500.
The Baysider regrets this
error and any confusion it
may have caused.

GWRSD school board regroups after elections
BY HEATHER AHLGREN
Staff Writer
WOLFEBORO — The
Governor Wentworth Regional school board meeting
on March 17 began with a reorganization of the board.
James Rines was elected
chairman and Jack Widmer
accepted the position of vice
chair.
Student update
Student representative
Conner MacIver updated the
board on school happenings.
He reported that the Arts
Knight held on Thursday,
March 6 for both middle
school and high school students was a great success.
During the event students
were able to display their
many talents, which he said
sometimes go unnoticed.
MacIver commended fellow
student
Shannon
Southerland for the work she
completed as a member of
“Operation Making Life Enriched in saying Thanks and
Remembering.” As a volunteer, Southerland arranged
to have Easter messages writ-
ten by the faculty and high
school students sent to active
duty soldiers in Iraq. In all
Southerland gathered and
shipped
437
messages.
MacIver also noted that three
brothers associated with the
school, Seniors Chris and
Kevin and graduate Alex Sargent, all recently earned
their Eagle Scout badges.
MacIver also mentioned
John Struble, a Kingswood
High English teacher, who is
one out of two finalists for
the Christa McAuliffe Sabbatical. MacIver said that
Students’ artwork headed to Town Hall
ALTON — Spring brings
with it sunshine and warmth
and the terrific exhibit of artwork by students from Alton
Central School. The annual
art show features exciting
new work by approximately
100 students and will be on
display from April 21
through May 16 at Alton
Town Hall.
There is always a large variety of unique art, ranging
from clay hoes to masks to
caricatures and colorful
drawings and paintings. Created by elementary and middle school students, the art-
work will surely bring a
smile to the viewer’s face.
The Town Hall will be
open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Come visit and show your appreciation for the fine visual
talents of Alton’s youth.

been chosen to attend the annual NHIAA student leadership conference had enjoyed
it. The students were Joe
Irvine, Nick McHugh, Dave
Hersey, Amy Hotton, Abby
Horton and John Jamison.
Election Day review
Superintendent
Jack
Robertson began his report
by thanking each and every
voter who took part in this
past election.
Robertson stated that the
overall support for the core
budget was strong as was the
support from all of the surrounding communities. The
superintendent did say that
even though it was close, he
was disappointed that the
bond to fund the building of
a new school did not pass. He
added that in 2006 when more
people voted, only 20 people
did not vote either way for
the bond, while during this
past election 309 voters didn’t vote positively or nega-
tively for the bond. Overall,
the board was 128 votes shy
of obtaining a 60 percent
margin. On this note Robertson commented that with the
economy in a downslide,
there is no better time to
build as interest rates as well
as construction rates are
very low. The superintendent
added that he has respect for
what the voters say, as it is
their money.
Other news
Effingham representative
Diane Drelick took a moment
to congratulate new member
James Manning.
The board will be renominating only nontenured staff
for the cumulative assessment on April 7 during the
next board meeting.
Robertson reported that
the graduation ceremony
will be held on the morning
of Saturday, June 14. The
board would like to look into
a policy change to enable future seniors to chose the date
and time of graduation as
many people have voiced an
interest in having a Friday
evening ceremony. Robertson stated that this type of
decision would have to be
made no later than October
in the school year.
The board members will
be submitting their interest
in subcommittees to Rines
for discussion at the next
meeting.
The building and maintenance committee is working
on a new proposal for the
board regarding the next
step for the building of a new
school.
The vice chair closed the
meeting by thanking Drelick
for the two years she served
as chairman. Charlene
Seibel wanted to thank again
the voters for participating
in the recent election.
The next Governor Wentworth Regional school board
meeting will be held on Monday, April 7, at the New
Durham School at 7 p.m.

Hunting up fun
■
This year, due to the snow, New Durham Parks and Rec put a "twist" on the Easter Egg Hunt. The hunt was held in the New Durham School... in the dark! The children were asked to bring their Easter baskets and
flashlights. All the shades were drawn and Parks and Rec attempted to make the rooms as dark as they could. The children were divided into three age groups. Age four and under started at 9 a.m. in the school
gym, ages five and six started at 9:30 a.m. in the cafeteria, and ages seven and eight started at 10 a.m. in the library. Waiting areas were set up for the children to color and the days' art is being displayed this
week at the New Durham Town Hall. Overall, there were more than 80 participants. Parks and Rec offers a thank you to all the volunteers and Recreation Commission for their hand in the huge success of this year’s
Easter Egg Hunt and a thanks to all the participants for coming out and playing with them.
Garden Club offers scholarship to PMHS senior
ALTON — The Alton Garden Club will award one onetime scholarship. The intent
of the scholarship is to provide funds to a high school
senior living in Alton, Alton
Bay or Barnstead. The scholarship is available for public,
private and home-schooled
students. The scholarship
award and payment will be
based on the following criteria: The applicant must be a
resident of Alton, Alton Bay
or Barnstead. The scholarship is open to all graduating
seniors, but first priority will
be granted to those intent
on pursuing a career in
landscaping, horticulture,
forestry, environmental sciences or earth sciences. In
the event that there are no applicants, the scholarship will
be open to a previous graduate currently pursuing higher education in these fields.
The completed application
and all accompanying information must be received by
the Alton Garden Club by
April 15. The form/applica-
tion is available at the
Prospect Mountain High
School's Guidance Department. There are often scholarships available that are not
awarded because students
are not aware that they exist.
Please take advantage of this
opportunity provided by the
Garden Club. The members
look forward to receiving the
applications but stress the
fact that time is growing
short, so apply now, and they
wish each applicant good
luck.
Curves opening an hour earlier
ALTON — Curves of Alton members spoke and
Curves of Alton listened. Beginning April 1 Curves will
be opening at 6 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
"By opening one hour earlier, we hope to provide a
more flexible schedule for
our current and potential

Deb Eddy, manager of
Curves.
Anyone interested in
jump-starting their day with
Curves, or for more information about Curves’ exclusive
30-minute workout, is welcome to call 875-3030 for more
information. The Curves

Nice to have a chance to catch up with my brother
As I have mentioned in
this space before, my brother
spent the past few months
out of the country, traveling
and working in South America.
He originally went south
to do some hiking with a few
friends around Thanksgiving, with a plan to be back in
the states around Christmas.
But, the group my brother

By JOSHUA SPAULDING
works for, National Outdoor
Leadership School (NOLS),
offered him a contract to lead
some groups in the southern
hemisphere and he jumped
at the chance and tacked an
extra two and a half months
onto his trip.
He finally made it back to
the United States in early
March and left a message on
my Facebook page a few
weeks ago that he was coming home for a week at the
end of the month. It had been
close to two years since he
had ventured east of the Mississippi for a visit to the

Thursday afternoon, I
made my fourth trip to Manchester in about three weeks
to pick him up at the airport.
We met up with one of his
good friends from high
school and had some dinner
in Manchester and looked
over many of the great pictures he took while hiking
and climbing throughout
South America. Many of the
pictures made the shots I
take each week for the paper
look pretty bad, though I
have never claimed to be a
great photographer.
After we ate and talked for
a while, we made the trip
north, stopping at my apartment for a few minutes, then
continuing on to Stark,
where my mother waited up
until after 11 p.m. for us to arrive. She was pretty excited
to have both kids home for
the night.
Friday, my mother took
the day off from work and
cooked a big dinner before I
had to leave to come back
south. My Mountain View
schedule had me in early Saturday morning, so I wanted
to get back at a decent hour
on Friday night.
I likely saw my brother
again after I wrote this piece
but before it hit the streets on
Thursday. He was flying back
west on Thursday morning,
first to California to visit a
friend, then to Utah where he
Fantasy racing
league returns
MEREDITH — Salmon
Press’ popular Fantasy Racing League will return in
April. The contest, free to
readers, offers more than
$1,400 in prize money thanks
to co-sponsorships in each of
the 11 newspapers published
by Salmon Press, including
the Baysider, Granite State
News, Carroll County Independent, Mountain Ear,
Berlin Reporter, Coos County Democrat, Littleton Courier, Plymouth Record Enterprise, Meredith News, Winnisquam Echo and Gilford
Steamer.
Readers can participate
by submitting a team of nine
drivers from NASCAR’s
three major racing series:
Sprint Cup, Nationwide Series and Craftsman Truck Series. Entry forms for the 2008
contest will be published
weekly April 9-10 though
April 23-24. Each submission
earns points equal to what
their drivers earn in races
between April 26 and Aug. 17.
“We delayed the start of
this year’s contest by a
month to give race fans a better chance to learn about
drivers and teams in the
three series and to extend the
contest towards the end of
summer,” said Salmon Press
Publisher Rich Piatt. The annual contest is expected to
draw around 1,000 individual
entries.

WHAT’S
ON
TAP
■
The high school season is
supposed to be under way already, but with the courts
and fields under what seems
like an infinite amount of
snow, things are on hold.
Here is what is scheduled
for the coming week, but
likely there won’t be much
going on for the local high
school teams.
The Prospect Mountain
baseball and softball teams
are slated to open the season
against Winnisquam on
Monday, April 7, at 4 p.m.
They are then set to host Inter-Lakes on Wednesday,
April 9, also at 4 p.m.
The Timber Wolf boys’
tennis team is scheduled to
host Littleton at 4:30 p.m. Friday, April 4, then host Gilford
on Wednesday, April 9, at 4
p.m. The boys are on the road
Tuesday, April 8. The girls’
tennis team is slated to be on
the road April 4 and April 9,
but will be home April 8 to
host Inter-Lakes.
The Prospect Mountain
track team is also supposed
to host a meet on Tuesday,
April 8, at 4 p.m.
At Kingswood, the boys’
tennis team is supposed to
play Monday, April 7, at 4

Moultonborough and its
place-names retain the “ugh,”
but some do not. Just to be
sure, I checked with the town
and was reassured by a pleasant lady in the selectmen’s office that the town officially is
still Moultonborough, although Moultonboro Neck
Road is not. “As for the people
in Concord,” she added, referring to the makers of state
maps and road-signs and the
like, “they do whatever they
want.”
Where were we? Somewhere along the hearteningly
twisting, hilly, bumpy, humpy
Route 109 toward Tuftonborough, Melvin Village and beyond.
“Beyond”
was
the
Wolfeboro Inn, which we cannot help writing “Wolfeborough Inn,” despite stringent
rules on trade-names and all
that stuff. Please, before the
Trade-Name Police cuff me
and drag me away, let me eat
a fine last supper in the inn’s
1812 tavern.
The nice thing about this
particular inn is that you can
park your vehicle, ours being
pretty mud-and salt-spattered
and tired, and walk just about
everywhere. Wolfeborough is
a neat little town with a compact center that once was a
hub of travel for points north
and northeast, and of course,
for across the lake. The MV
Mount Washington, a favorite
way of ours to travel, calls

garden decor, handcrafted
jewelry, folk art, tole painting, wooden toys, handpainted glassware, New England
photography, purses and
totes and lots more. The show
benefits the NH Humane Society in Laconia. Admission
is free, there will be a raffle
and lunch is available. Preview the show online at

Gilmanton Boy Scouts
holding ham and bean dinner
GILMANTON — Boy
Scout Troop 242 will host a
ham and bean dinner Saturday, April 5, at the Gilmanton
Community Church in
Gilmanton Iron Works. Seating is from 5 to 7 p.m. All are
welcome.
THE FIVE QUESTIONS
■
1. What major body of water abuts the Ukraine?
2. In the 20th century how many U.S. Vice-Presidents became president?
3. “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Who said
this: Thomas Jefferson, Socrates, Joe Torre, Francis Bacon?
4. What are the five boroughs of New York City?
5. Which is spelled correctly: mischevious, mischievous,
mischievious?
THE FIVE ANSWERS
me, came on Saturday, March
16, when I went out to refill
the bird feeders and had to
shovel through three feet of
windblown snow to get there.
“Who do we know in
Wolfeborough?” I said to
Nancee as more or less a joke,
because we knew just which
friends we wanted to go visit
and, besides, we need no excuse to visit one of our favorite towns. A couple of
nights at a downtown hostelry would put us in position to
do some visiting and some
poking around on the back
roads, a thing we love to do
(“Look at the lines on that
house.” “Hey, twin silos with
ceramic tiles.” “Huh---they’re
burning green wood.”)
Eschewing highly regarded Route 113 and then 109 on
account of fading daylight,
we headed for Center Harbor
via quirky old Route 258 and
then hit the macadam for
Moultonborough, another
town that almost threw off
the elegant “ugh” when a
wave of modernism (maybe a
savings in ink? Handwriting
fatigue?) swept the region.
Whatever happened there,
anyway? I wasn’t around for
the fight, if there was one, but
all of a sudden, seemingly
overnight, almost all of those
fine “ugh” towns were bobtailed into boring old “o” endings. Did anyone stick up for
the poor, venerable old “ugh?”
I’d bet I’ll get mail on this.
Whatever the case, I stubbornly persist in addressing
all of my letters to readers
with the “ugh” attached. “Peterborough,” too, and “Lyndeborough,” and “Hillsborough.” God save us from the
appendix-snatchers.
On the maps, most of

there, and although the ship
now is primarily a tourism attraction there was a time (i.e.,
horse and buggy travel and
primitive roads) when steamer travel saved tons of time,
not to mention tons of oats
and hay. If you lived in, say,
Meredith and had business
on the other side of the lake,
you could be across and back
in time for supper.
Wolfeborough’s old train
station is still there, along the
spur on which main-line
trains backed up to load and
unload passengers and
freight for the hotels and
steamers. I can dimply recall
when that line was still in use,
to serve an excelsior plant
and run a tourist train.
Our trip would eventually
take us to Alton Bay, and then
on to Laconia for lunch with
friends and then back to
Wolfeborough via Gunstock,
its skiers enjoying the cornmeal skiing of the late season. The views alone are
worth the price of a ticket.
I’m slated for speaking
events in Meredith, Alton and
Moultonborough, all in June
(what is it about historical societies, anyway?), all of them
offering different and uniquely interesting ways to get
there. But at some point between now and then, you can
bet we’ll haul our carcasses
down the far side of the lake,
put up somewhere in downtown Wolfeborough, take the
ship to visit Endicott Rock
and Weirs Beach, and maybe
even spend a nickel at that
nice little lunch spot where
all the bikers hang out.
1. The Black Sea
2. Six: Teddy Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry Truman,
Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, George H.W. Bush
3. Socrates
4. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, the Bronx
5. Mischievous
One of the many nice
things about the back side
(i.e., the east side) of Lake
Winnipesaukee is that there
is no fast, easy way to get
there, at least not for the gazillions of people who perceive
I-93 as the state’s only road.
This mind-set makes the
western shore of the big lake
“accessible” in not only fact,
but mind, relegating the far
shore to the realm of Terra
Incognita.
It is the same kind of mindset that causes tens of thousands of leaf-peepers to stick
to I-93, Route 302 and (now
here’s a big leap) the Kancamagus Highway each fall,
while unhurried, far less traveled and spectacularly beautiful secondary roads and
highways go unnoticed. But
as many a denizen of small
town and little-traveled byway will tell you, there’s
something blessed about being unnoticed.
Which, of course, is why
we like to travel down the east
side when we have a choice,
as we did last week when we
aimed the truck for Wolfeborough and, ultimately, Alton
Bay and Laconia. Center Harbor was as far down toward
the lake as we got before we
veered east, toward all those
towns that end, or used to end,
in “ugh.”
(Hasty disclaimer: It’s not
that we don’t like Meredith
and Weirs Beach. We do, and
love to go there too. It’s just
that there’s less traffic on the
other side of the lake, things
are less built-up, and the frost
heaves have a lot more character, not yet having been engineered, straightened, flattened and fabric-based to
oblivion.)
This trip came about because of basic stir-craziness,
the kind that comes when the
roads are turning to mud at
high noon and the clapboard
flies and ladybugs are creeping around but winter still
cannot decide to relinquish
its grasp. The final straw, for

With the arrival of the new season, gardening should be on the mind
BY MICHELLE SMITH
Cameron’s Home and Garden
For those of us who can’t
wait to get into the dirt, we’re
all ready to go! Mother Nature brings a new set of challenges each year in how we
will plan our gardens. With
snow breaking all time
records this year we face
many spring challenges. For
many of us this year our first
challenge will be drainage.
How we deal with drainage
could determine effects to
our home and garden this
spring. Insects will also be on
the rise this year. Spring to
dos should includes provisions for drainage and emptying anything where still
waters lie. Preventative
measures will prove well
worthwhile.
As we venture into spring
and our yards for yet another season of gardening let’s
give thought to the rising
costs of groceries and fuel.
Many folks are thinking of
growing their own fruits and
vegetables.
Fruit trees on the average
take three to five years to
bear fruit depending on size
and variety. Well worth the
time and effort when you
pick your first crop grown on
your own property! Most
fruit require two varieties to
pollinate (example a Cortland and McIntosh). Some
fruit are self-pollinating
(peaches and some cherries)
but your yield will always be
better planted in multiples.
pollinating). Prune off water
suckers, the branches that
shoot straight up, so that well
needed energy feeds the fruit
bearing part of the tree. Also
prune branches rubbing together to prevent insect or
disease damage.
To plant a garden is to plant hope.
Hope is the companion of power,
and the mother of success: for
who so hopes strongly has within
him the gift of miracles
- Samuel Smiles
At Cameron’s Home and Garden pollination needs are
provided on each tree. Planting and pruning guides for
those with space challenges
are also available.
For those who already
have fruit trees, early spring
is a great time to apply dormant oil to prevent insects
and disease before buds
break or bloom. If dormant
oil is applied during blossoming period it will harm
pollinating insects (bees and
other good bugs we need for
In NH we can grow many
varieties of fruit trees: apple,
peach, pear, cherry, plum and
apricot.
We can also grow many
small fruits: blueberries,
grapes,
strawberries,
rhubarb, raspberries and
blackberries just to mention
a few.
Vegetables can be grown
in a traditional garden,
raised beds and containers
on the deck or even amongst
your flowerbeds. With good
soil and regular watering,
summer can bring a bountiful harvest of tomatoes,
cukes, squash and many other favorites. With nothing
better than the taste of, “I
grew it myself !”
Herbs to season our culinary delights, such as garlic,
chives, basil, parsley and
sage to name a few, can be
grown them the kitchen door
for easy access or in your
vegetable garden to ward off
pests and disease. Check out
Cameron’s info packs for listing of helpful herb companions.
Colorful annuals around
your vegetable garden can
also serve many purposes. A
few for cutting inside the
house, marigolds around the
border to ward of critters,
and a few just for a splash of
color!
There is always much to
do especially in spring
around our homes and in our
gardens. With costs rising
and talks of recession many
people will be tinkering at
home. Keep in mind landscaping adds value to your
home. So in the long term
you are making an investment in your property, not to
mention maybe developing a
healthy addiction…. Sunshine, exercise and dirt! Welcome spring and happy gardening!
Associations team up
for annual conference
AUBURN — The New
Hampshire Landscape Association and the Granite State
Landscape Architects held
their spring conference on
March 19 in Auburn. The two
groups learned about The
Comprehensive Shoreland
Protection Act, labor issues
and other topics. They also
took part in a panel discussion on professionalism.
The keynote speaker was
Arlene Allen from the Wetlands Bureau, NH Department of Environmental Services. She is a compliance
specialist and shoreland outreach coordinator. Participants were informed of the
updated rules of The Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act, which affects
building, construction and
plants on ‘the critical edge,’
where land meets water on
lakes, rivers and tidal areas.
The CSPA has new rules and
regulations that will take affect in April of 2008.
Allen did an excellent job
of presenting this complicated topic. Her title, The Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act – Investment In
the Future, highlights how
important this is to water
quality, property values and
recreation on New Hampshire’s waters.
Other speakers were: Cynthia Flynn; updates from the
Department of Labor; what
you need to know, who helped
NHLA and GSLA members
understand how changing
regulations affect their businesses in NH, Nancy Berliner; Bare Root Trees, the pros
and cons for private and public landscaping projects, who
has had great success in
planting bare root trees for
Groundwork Concord, Dr.
Stanley R. Swier, Professor
of Entomology at UNCE; integrated pest management,
new low risk chemistry in
pesticides and new pests in
NH who kept participants informed of pest issues related
to the ‘green industry’ and
Lee Gilman, consultant, arborist; woody plants below
ground, who discussed the
importance of proper planting and how it affects a tree’s
roots and health.
The NHLA and the GSLA
have traditionally joined together to provide members
of their associations with opportunities for education,
updating industry standards, familiarizing them
with the latest information
on business practices and
promoting their businesses
in a professional manner.
They have conferences and
meetings throughout the
year. You may contact NHLA

Meredith Village Savings Bank launches new Web site
MEREDITH — Customers and employees of
Meredith Village Savings
