While the zoning ordinance has some articles
that relate to health safety, landscape buffers,
and the permitted number of “special vehicles,”
for the most part, the
town has not been able to
require that properties
are maintained to a particular aesthetic value.
That may all be about to
change.
At Monday’s selectmen’s meeting a resident
on Leisure Drive was
granted a tax abatement
over claims that the appearance of an abutting
property had reduced the
value of his home due to
excess debris and overall

OSSIPEE — Can local
hunters carry on as they
have done for decades or
will the county commissioners adopt a policy to
regulate a problem that
doesn’t exist?
At their May 3 commissioner’s
meeting,
Carroll County Administrator Ken Robichaud
presented the two commissioners
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 Strafford 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 hunting and other recreational activities without 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 abandoned,” Robichaud said.
He admitted in his nine
months on the job as administrator he has never seen anyone hunting
on county property but
knows they do, and this
was confirmed by Commissioner David Babson.
While
Robichaud
asked the commissioners to review the policy
for further discussion at
the May 24 meeting, Babson seemed to have already made up his mind.
Babson, an Ossipee resident who owns property
abutting county property, told Robichaud, “I’m
going to oppose any kind
of permitting system
here. With the experience I have the hunters

Supply shows
families how to
"Get Growing"
OSSIPEE — Tractor
Supply Company in Ossipee at 901 Route 16 is
inviting parents to unlock the hidden potential of their back yard
with a family garden.
To introduce children to the joy of growing food in their backyard, 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, including pet vaccinations
(from 4 to 5:30 p.m.)
and UNH Cooperative
Extension "Get Growing" Booth (from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m.).
"A lifetime of gardening 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 Lermond, manager of the
Ossipee Tractor Supply store. "It's a hobby
that instills a lifelong
appreciation for where
our food comes from
and brings families together 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 organic seeds, and garden
tools.

WAKEFIELD SCHOOL
REPORT
BY PRISCILLA COLBATH
Contributing Writer
WAKEFIELD — The
Wakefield School Board
met on May 4th. After
the manifest and minutes of the previous
meetings were approved
this reporter asked why
the Superintendent’s Vision Statement wasn’t on
the agenda.
After no one answered, Bonnie Cyr said
that she had brought
copies of the current Vision Statement for board
members to review. Unfortunately the one she
had was superseded by
a newer version. Superintendent Tursi offered
to read the current statemen,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 prior to the money becoming 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
Carroll
County
teacher every year. Joy
asked if we would be in
compliance with square
footage required per student. Tursi replied that
we would be in compliance. The rooms in the
modular are just short
of 900 square feet. (NH
Code of Administrative
Rule 321.10 states: “For
the elementary and middle 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

Goals were, once again,
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 Shelia Lane which has never been opened. More
discussion and recommendations are needed.
Board member Relf Fogg
offered help in establishing a right-of-way/roadway to the ballfield at no
cost to the district. There
was no action of Fogg’s

EFFINGHAM — 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 creativity in the arts.
White, poet and teacher, has been working for
more than 25 years with
students of all ages to
help them create original and authentic work,
be it poetry, memoir or
non-fiction writing. She
has worked in a variety of settings including
schools, libraries, prisons, residencies for the
elderly, and universities.
She has been a member of the faculty at
the University of New
Hampshire,
Northern
Essex Community College, and Lesley University. 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 Horizon, which was selected
by Robert Creeley as the
recipient of the 2000 Philbrick 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 fulllength book, “The Last
Island,” in 2008 which
was awarded the 2009
Jane Kenyon Award for
Outstanding Poetry. Her
2012 publication, “Memory Won’t Save Me”
(Deerbrook
Editions).
was nominated for a
Pushcart Award. White's
most recent book of poetry, “The world Disguised
as This One,” is a collection of Tanka, an ancient
Japanese form that predates the haiku, taking
images from nature and
recasting them through
the personal lens.
Artist Magi Leland
owned her own goldsmith/manufacturing
business for more than
10 years before embarking in careers in natural healing and fine art
painting. A Reiki practitioner and soprano with
Magi Voices From the
Heart, Leland writes poetry 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 texture. Curiosity opens
the door to artistic challenges and observation
leads me to greater understanding of my muses. If I am able to convey
what excites me about
my subjects, then I feel
my paintings are successful.”
Come to listen, or
bring a piece of your
own piece of writing, stories or acoustic music to
share.
The Writers’ Night is
just one of many enriching community events
taking place at the Effingham Public Library,
30 Town House Road in
Effingham. For more information, contact Katie

recently
offered the public two
opportunities to enjoy a
Saturday morning guided walk in the woods
while learning more
about native trees and
forests.
These popular events,
with about 30 participants each, were led
by consulting forester
Charlie Moreno, who
manages the Milton forest lands of Branch Hill
Farm, and by John Wallace and Charlie Tatham
of the NH Big Tree Program.
Moreno
discussed
forestry techniques designed to create a healthy
forest that enhances the
value of the trees for timber while providing habitat for diverse animal
species. He demonstrated how he identifies and
flags trees to cut for either timber, pulp, or firewood and then showed
log piles of the three

is less likely to compact
soils than newer heavier
equipment.
Moreno also led the
group to several carefully planned timber cuts
in order to show the seed
trees, cover trees, wildlife trees, and multi-age
trees of various species
that were left intact,
while removing invasive plants. A new trail
along the Branch River demonstrated how a

how to identify various
tree species as well as
how to measure a tree for
the NH Big Tree record.
Ways to distinguish between white or yellow
birch and black birch include the distinct “wintergreen” scent and flavor 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 between plates of the bark,
but the coloration actually 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 affect the predominant
trees species and forest
types. They pointed out
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 diehards 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 Charitable Trust co-sponsored
the walk led by Charlie
Moreno on Branch Hill
Farm forest land in Milton and landowners Rodney and Judy Thompson
graciously made their
land open to the public
for the Tree ID walk.

Chocorua Lake Conservancy hires
first full-time employee
CHOCORUA — Almost 50 years after its
founding, the Chocorua Lake Conservancy has hired its first
full-time employee.
The Chocorua Lake
Conservancy is excited
to welcome Lynne Flaccus to the position of
stewardship director.
Flaccus will be responsible for advancing the
stewardship program
of the conservancy,
which is responsible
for managing or stewarding 3,800 acres of
protected land in the
Chocorua Lake Basin.
Flaccus has extensive experience working with landowners
on conservation strategies for their lands,
mapping, educational
programs, stewardship
of conservation lands
and trails, interpretive
trail creation, managing volunteers, and
drafting conservation
plans and conservation
easements.
Flaccus brings to the
Chocorua Lake Conservancy almost 30 years
of experience in land
LYNNE FLACCUS how well you sleep, so
you can see your sleep
trends and get on a better routine.
Its value is $130, but
you can win it with a
$3 raffle chance at the
North Conway Library.
All proceeds of the raffle will go directly to
the library to purchase
new books and DVDs.
The North Conway
Public Library is a
privately funded library which is free
and open to the public.
The library receives no
funding from the town
of Conway, the state
or the federal government; therefore, it depends on donations,
corporate
sponsors,
and fundraisers such
as the Fitbit raffle.
For more information about the raffle,

in North Conway Village to purchase your
winning ticket.
conservation and stewardship,
managing
protected properties,
studying wildlife, and
educating adults and
children. Most recently, she served as education and stewardship
specialist at Midcoast
Conservancy (Wiscasset, Maine), where she
was the point person
for all stewardship activities. Flaccus spent
the prior five years
as programs manager at the Sheepscot
Valley
Conservation
Association (Newcastle, Maine), where she
implemented a wide
range of stewardship
and conservation programs, and natural history education.
From 1988 to 2011,
Flaccus worked at the
Chewonki Foundation
(Wiscasset,
Maine)
as a teacher and head
naturalist. At Chewonki, she served as a
wilderness trip leader
and led many extended
canoe trips for youth
throughout Maine and
Canada with her husband Greg. She holds a
B.S. in wildlife ecology
from the University of
Vermont.
Flaccus has a lifelong connection with
the Chocorua area.
She spent her childhood summers and
many vacations at her
grandmother’s house
in Tamworth, of which
she is now a co-owner. 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 special spot in my heart
for Tamworth and the
Chocorua Lake area.”
Many of Conservancy’s conservation
covenants date from
the early days of land
conservation in New
Hampshire and the
United States. The creation of conservation
covenants represented
a pioneering and herculean effort on the
part of the Conservancy’s founders.
This stewardship director position is partially funded through
generous grants from
the Tamworth Foundation, the New England
Grass Roots Foundation, the Davis Conservation Foundation and
the Norcross Wildlife
Foundation.
The Chocorua Lake
Conservancy is a nonprofit land trust founded in 1968 to protect the
scenic and natural resources of the Chocorua
Lake Basin and surrounding area through
conservation practices,
land protection, easements, maintenance of
lands for public access,
and the development
of a community of support. The Conservancy
owns and manages 931
acres of conservation
land in the Chocorua
Lake Basin, and protects almost 3,000 additional acres through 74
conservation easements
and covenants on over
120 different properties.

CARROLL COUNTY
MELLISA SEAMANS
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 verify
The expression, “trust, but verify” comes from
a Russian proverb. It was made famous by President 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 information 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 statements of apparent fact that, when checked, turn
out to be half-truths at best and simply not supported by fact at worst.
Here in Carroll County, in Ossipee, we are being 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 Northgate Resorts to the Ossipee Zoning Board of Adjustment on March 8 in support of a request for a
special zoning exception have failed the verification process. Holyoake writes, “Purportedly, several 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 major 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 recreational 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 major source of property tax revenues for both Freedom and Ossipee) but could hurt tourism and the
major watch source for thousands of people.
It is troubling that issues of trust have arisen in this project. We would like to believe questions 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 questions 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 America 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 passionate 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.

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

Letters
to the
Editor
Erl McLetchie will be missed
To 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 something 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 contact 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
t
would go. I was hired by a large law firm in Laconia.
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 worry 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 working 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.

GUEST COMMENTARY
High stakes as lake community
seeks natural area answers
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 coalition of state and local stakeholders working together
as state funds dwindle and trespassing and vandalism 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 decline in law enforcement that has resulted in open violations of the state’s site-use regulations, and what
appear to be attempts to destroy some of the property’s rare plants and plant communities.
The lack of enforcement is the result of the withdrawal of Marine Patrol officers from the Natural
Area beat, according to Sabrina Stanwood, administrator 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 reasons for its withdrawal last year: budget cuts and a
lack of support from state courts in upholding Marine Patrol citations issued to boaters who violate the
statutes governing use of the property.
Marine Patrol’s withdrawal left enforcement matters 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 replacement Ranger on the road and off the lake.
Boaters react
By mid-summer, the boaters who serve on the Natural 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 eventually 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 accumulate. 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 season 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 information
Compounding the lack of enforcement is a lack
of timely information from the state. The first inkling that Marine Patrol had abandoned the Natural 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 request for information by email on July 23 and
September 1. But it took until September 11 for
DRED to acknowledge that inter-agency enforcement—one of the cornerstones of the management 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 Natural Area coalition alive,” said the Alliance’s
David Smith. “There are a number of component
parts to the issue, but fixing it starts with better and more timely access to information so it
can be used to proactively address issues as they
arise.”
Lake capacity questions
There are other major challenges ahead. This
year the Natural Area management plan will be
further challenged by N.H. Fish & Game’s expansion of its public boat ramp on Route 25 in Ossipee, a project that could bring hundreds of additional 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.

FROM PAGE A1
for the restaurant, then
and now, was to offer a
creative menu derived
from locally grown and
sourced ingredients, including eggs, chicken
and beef from his Tumbledown Farm in Brookfield as well as produce,
fish and meat from other local sources such
as Alan Frederickson's
Top of the Hill Farm in
Wolfeboro.
One of the factors
that doomed earlier attempts 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 Guttadauro is definitely a back-tothe-land proponent and
advocate of both farming and self-sufficiency,
he is a firm believer in
making any venture he
is involved in work economically for all parties
involved. In short, he
wants to build his business and the other businesses already in Wakefield 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 important: you not only
need a tasty menu with
good prices and great
service, you also need
to attract enough customers to provide a solid
cash flow.
With that in mind Guttadauro set about joining
the two buildings to expand the restaurant and
the parking available to
customers. He closed the
restaurant in December
2014 for the winter to
do an extensive renovation, and the expanded
COURTESY PHOTO

Tumbledown Cafe.
restaurant opened for
breakfast, lunch and
dinner in June 2015 with
125 seats and, judging
from the number of customers seen on a recent
Friday evening, he is filling 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 appetizers alone boasts 16
items, from a “Shrimp
& Farm Raised Tumbledown 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, include shrimp cocktail,
“wicked good” nachos,
chicken wings in five
flavors, honey buffalo
chicken tenders, friend
calamari, sweet potato
fries, onion rings, potato skins and bruschet-
ta. Other special items
include baked brie,
sauteed mussels and a
mixed kabob trio.
The menu also includes farm-fresh salads
and soups made from
scratch, including Tumbledown chili; hefty
half-pound
hamburgers served five different
ways, with gluten-free
rolls available, fried seafood (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 Friday and Saturday nights
prime rib is served. Finally there is a six-item
“North End” Italian
menu and a full line of
sandwiches for light eaters.
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 People'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 tables 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 Sanbornville and open Monday 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 Tumbledown Cafe page on Facebook.
More to come
Guttaduaro has already 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 parlor.
The building has been
completely gutted inside
and Guttadauro is in
the process of replacing
the doors with antique,
Victorian-era doors acquired 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, locally grown fresh fruits
and
produce,
cider,
pickles and odd old-fashioned merchandise.
The gallery on the second floor will offer both
exhibits and antiques
to purchase – the fruits
of Guttadauro's own adventures in antique col-
lecting as well as pieces
from others.
The ice cream parlor will offer not only a
broad selection of flavors
and types of ice cream
but also inside and outside patio seating to enjoy the cones, sundaes
and other treats.
His goal is to have the
store and parlor up and
running early this summer.
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 parlor 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 estimates that his investment so far – up to $1
million – will help stimulate a growth in jobs
throughout the area.
Guttadauro believes
that our area holds great
potential for sustainable
economic development
that will keep your people living here by paying
decent wages and encouraging entrepreneurship. He points out that
it is local businesses that
support their communities, and Tumbledown
Cafe is no exception.
In addition to helping
nonprofit groups it is
also sponsoring a Little
League team.
Back to the barn
Guttadauro'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 concerts for Ben Anderson.
Those off-season concerts were very popular among year-round
residents in the area
but they also became a
source of controversy
when Brookfield selectmen questioned whether they were allowed
as part of Guttadauro's
farm operations under
Brookfield's
zoning,
which permits no commercial/retail uses.
Ultimately the selectmen'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 booking talent and relationships.
However, since then
the state has come to recognize the value of agritourism, where farms
employ concerts, rides,
corn mazes and other entertainments to attract
visitors, who both purchase 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 insisted 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-agricultural 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 attempt to stage concerts
in the Brookfield barn,
this time he has the synergy between the cafe,
general store and ice
cream parlor to direct a
greater range of concertgoers to the Brookfield
venue. The barn has also
become a site for weddings and receptions.
A point of view
By now you may have
gathered that David
Guttadauro is not only
a builder and entrepreneur 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 independent 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 Revolution were planted. Today

[on county property]

any need for any control
of the situation at this
point.”
Babson also questioned 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 commissioners 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 wonderful, free use of the
lands,” said Ahlgren. He
went on to suggest that
it might be reasonable
to put together a handbook of laws regarding
hunting on public land
but stopped short of supporting the idea of a permitting system.

on our farm, and many
other local family farms,
the seeds of another revolution are being sown.
“The preamble to 'our'
declaration of independence goes something
like this . . . We the People...
“Desire to be independent and free of GMOs,
big business, over development, excessive intrusion 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 local businesses and local
families and develop
“I think we should
have a permitting process. 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 conversation, it does not appear that NH Fish and
Game was brought into
this early discussion
about the proposed policy. There is a volume
of laws already on the
books in the NH Statutes regarding hunting
and use of firearms. To
the concern that hunters will be shooting too
close to the jail and nursing 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 permanently 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
our own viable economy
without any government
or big corporate assistance, interference, or
subsidies.
“Want to return to a
time where we all participated in the food cycle,
and when the local farm
was the center of commerce and community.
“Believe that the family farm is a cornerstone
of our society, and we
want to enjoy and ensure that future generations enjoy the healthy
food, open space and the
undeveloped landscape
that family farms and
New Hampshire provide.”
If you want to join
this revolution and support local farmers while
enjoying some really
great food and (soon)
ice cream, Tumbledown
Cafe in Sanbornville is a
good place to start.

There was no mention at the meeting
about any complaints received from abutters but
nonetheless Robichaud
said it is important to
take their needs into
consideration. One abutter is the Cornerstone
Christian Academy on
Route 28. “What if someone 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 abutters might want as well.
I think there is a process
we have to go through

just something to think
about,” said Robichaud.

agreed and recommended an adjustment of 10
percent off the land and
15 percent off the buildings.
Selectmen Rick Morgan asked that Code Officer Steve McConarty
take a look at the abutting property to assess
whether or not it’s a
health hazard. He then
asked his fellow board
members the question: If
a property causes another 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 market value decreased, because of the condition of
neighboring properties.
Selectmen Bob Freeman
added the observation
that there are a lot of unpresentable properties
around Ossipee.
Resident Ash Fischbein had asked at last
week’s meeting whether
selectmen would consider such a step in support
of economic development activities to attract
business to town. A tidy
town would be key to
that investment he inferred.
While there was no
A11
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 McConarty to review the building
codes for any instances
of violation. Then secondly, to contact the
town lawyer on how to
move forward.
Moving on to financial matters, payroll expenses of $36,506 were

EXPANSION
FROM PAGE A1
Currently the site
plan review is before the
Ossipee planning bord
and is being presented
by George Ferdette and
Dan Flores from SFC
Engineering
Partnership 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, several 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 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.
At the first ZBA
meeting in February,
SFC was requested to
communicate with the
Ossipee Lake Alliance
(OLA) to discuss impacts and carrying capacity on the lake. The
minutes of the March 8
ZBA meetings record:
“George (Ferdette) refer
to a letter by Bob Reynolds (OLA board member) 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 recommendation was on letterhead
paper. So the (board)
would have to assume
this letter is a representation of the Alliance
and not Mr Reynold’s
personally.”
The OLA has responded as follows:
“Ossipee Lake Alliance
has never formally reviewed or assessed the
Westward Shores expansion 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 written by Bob Reynolds
evaluating and endorsing the development on
behalf of the Alliance
was apparently presented to Ossipee officials
by the campground’s
agents. Mr. Reynolds is
on the Alliance's Board
of Directors, but he never discussed such a letter with us and he was
not authorized to speak
on behalf of the organization. We did not know
such a letter existed until we were contacted by
the Independent.”
The same ZBA minutes 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 location of the project will
have no impact on the
nest.” When contacted,
Martin responded that
to the best of his knowledge 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 possible misrepresentations
quoted in the minutes
and has written a letter
to the ZBA that states:
“We would like to
make it known and recorded in the minutes
of your next ZBA meeting on May 10, 2016 that
GMCG did not meet with
the engineers or anyone
else from SFC Engineering as mentioned in the
ZBA minutes nor have
we worked with SFC
Engineering on how
to protect the environmentally sensitive areas
around the site.
“The proposed expansion of Westward
Shores Lakeside Camping Resort is of concern
to GMCG with regards
to water quality due to
the size of the considered 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 Engineering Firm to alert him of
the error in the presentation 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 prior 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 letter from NH DES that
it failed to demonstrate
that any of the recommendations made by NH
Fish and Game Department and the Westward
Shores Loon Preservation Committee concerning the protection of
bald headed eagles and
loons, have been incorporated into its development plans. DES has
requested that SFC provide 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 contentions at the time of
going to press, the information on hand seems
to detract from the level
of trust in which the information supplied by
the developers can be regarded. More vigilance
is required moving forward.
SFC has asked for
a continuance to present 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 meeting is open to the public.

meeting minutes are

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 question raised by the audience, Harriman said
DOT would probably
need to address the intersection at Route 25 that
provides access to the
bridge to ensure it would
be safe. Riley added that
the town has yet to review and make plans for
the traffic flow.
An agreement between the town and
LCHIP was signed acknowledging 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 future.
Water and Sewer Department 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

said the flushing would
not address these issues
but rather it was the older pipes in the system
causing the problem.
Morgan asked how often
the department monitors 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 Moultonborough/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 information 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 business
Edward Kimball who
lives on Pequawket Trail
on Ossipee Lake, wrote
to selectmen expressing
concerns that the town’s
dirt ramp near his property will be over utilized
while the main access to
the lake at Pine River on
Route 25 is closed for construction until the end of
June. Kimball said he anticipates problems with
increased traffic, illegal
parking – there is no
public parking – noise,
trash and general safety, 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 selectmen have completed a
fraud policy that was
approved at the meeting.
It addresses issues such
as embezzlement, misappropriation of assets,
misuse of town assets,
and intentional omission
of facts for personal gain.
It applies not only to
town employees but independent contractors,
temporary workers, and
consultants engaged in
town work.
Georgie Duquet, a former library trustee, was
appointed by the selectmen 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 presentation to selectmen
for tearing down the old
Ossipee Valley Meeting
House at the small cemetery on Route 16 near
the Pizza Barn. Riley responded that the town is
not in a position to consider 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 vacancy rate and expenditures, 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 Harvesting (DASH) services
was signed between
the town and Henniker
based AD Aquatic for
containing milfoil in Ossipee 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 determine which process
to use in any particular
year for effectively correcting the milfoil problem, including the systemic herbicide 2 ,4-D.
Selectmen
signed
their first event permit application for the
Chickville Church since
it has come into the
town’s ownership. They
approved the annual Memorial 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 property’s ongoing maintenance which includes
upkeep of the cemetery
grounds.
When asked if any legal advice had yet been
given on the exact interpretation 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 doing the built-out survey,
not just funding for it.
The topic is still an item
on the town’s Conservation Commission and
Planning Board agendas
and the selectmen have
formally written to the
Conservation Commission requesting notification should there be any
consideration to undertake the survey.

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 Ossipee and neighboring
towns. Its lakeshore
properties provide over
half of Ossipee’s tax revenues. 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 seasonal visitors who recreate at the lake. Local
residents make up the
backbone of employees
to these businesses.
The proposed expansion of the campground
could see a possible 300 to
600 plus more people in
the area who may spend
their dollars at local businesses, and the town’s
coffers will receive an injection of tax funds from
the campground, which
all sounds like good economic news.
The lake and the life it
supports are like a spiderweb with many interconnected threads that are
vulnerable
singularly,
but when woven together make the web strong
as a whole. Development
decisions that raise the
quality of life for the community spiderweb need
to consider all the economic, environmental,
and social threads.
Westward Shores was
sold last December to
Michigan-based Northgate Resort LLC which
operates several franchised
campgrounds
around the county, under the name Yogi Bear
Jellystone Park. The
campground has been
in operation since the
1940s and comprises waterfront 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 Nicholls 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 peninsula area, although no
time frames have been
provided.
It appears the camp-
Daily
Specials
ground will not be open
year round, although
exactly when it will be
is not clear. In one statement, 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 between mid October and
Thanksgiving. Electricity 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 Adjustment (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 connected 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 unchecked. In large development situations like
this many towns engage
a third party professional engineering company
to guide them through
the complicated check
list, and require that the
cost be carried by the applicant.
George Ferdette and
Dan Flores of SFC Engineering Partnership
have represented Northgate at town zoning and
planning board meetings
to date. SFC Engineering
was the developer for the
Danforth Bay and Ossipee Lake Campground
septic infrastructure upgrade 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 public save for a handful of
neighbors who were concerned about increased
traffic along Nicholls
Road and the potential
for increased noise lev-

els.The Ossipee Conservation Commission also
submitted a list of items
it would like to see addressed, including requests for environmental and wildlife impact
studies.
In carrying out its
work, the ZBA’s overarching consideration
is that development “.
. . help retain the natural beauty of Ossipee, to
encourage the most appropriate use of land, to
conserve its natural resources, to stabilize the
value of land and buildings, to prevent overcrowding of land and
undue concentrations of
population, and to facilitate the economical provision of future required
utilities and facilities.”
Additionally it has a
set of nine criteria that
applicants must prove
they are providing for.
These include assurances and provisions
for public health safety,
property value protection, adequate site facilities such as utilities and
parking, and accessibility. There are required
standards for the prevention of issues with fire,
flooding, water and sewer, watercourses, traffic,
erosion, hazardous materials, storm water fun
off, and milfoil.
In the process of approving Northgate’s special exception the ZBA
considered the potential
for flooding and septic
leakage into the lake. According to Dan Mattaini
at NH DES, the highest
water level recorded was
413.72’ in 1998. The ZBA
minutes of March 8 record that the septic systems are being built at
414’. SFC said the septic
system is water tight and
that they are meeting FEMA’s requirements for
emergency evacuation.
Some issues
A couple of things
brought to light during
this process is that while
the campground is a permitted use in this area,
and is grandfathered,
the current zoning ordinance does not specify
the number of camps
permitted. SFC quoted
NH DES as saying the
campground could accommodate an additional 700 camp sites. The
ordinance also does not
require that campsites
to stay away from wetlands.
When asked about the
impact from increased
boats on the lake, SFC
said they had communicated with Officer Scott
McLain from NH Marine Patrol who reportedly said he sees no issues 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 conserving natural resources, 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 apply 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 sensitive wetlands area, board
members expressed concern that they may be adversely impacted during
construction that will involve 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 having a 20’ set back. Permission was given for a
16’ wide access road from
the peninsular area, instead of the usually required 20’, to minimize
impact on surrounding
wetlands. SFC stated
they also have support
from other local conservation groups.
After considering all
the information presented by SFC on March 8,
the ZBA found that the
special exception application met all their requirements.
Presumably with the
campers will come an
increase of boating activities 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 trailer spaces, 5 car top spaces, 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 vulnerable Ossipee Lake Natural Area. This area
has become degraded
as state resources fail to
provide the enforcement
and communication required to protect it. (see
separate story)
The WSCM expansion
proposal before the town
is a timely opportunity
for its residents and officials to consider what
type of development
they’d like to attract to
the area that will provide
both economic and sustainable environmental
benefits for the long term.
The two are not mutually 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 updated, perhaps reshaped and
re-envisioned.
Where things stand
now is that SFC will be
presenting to the Planning Board a site plan
for review. At such a
review, the board considers proposed changes
being made to a property 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 safety and protection of the
environment,
wildlife
habitat, natural resources, 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, several questionable issues
have come to light that
are being investigated.
Purportedly,
several
organizations that SFA
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
and possibly a re-hearing. (see separate story)

Eagle lax boys hang on to beat Knights
BY 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 Conway to take on the Eagles.
The hosts had a
five-goal lead midway
through the final quarter, only to watch the visitors 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 Kennett 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 pressure, as they moved the
ball around the offensive zone, but solid defense 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 battled 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 Andreani 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 second period.
The Eagles had the
opening attack in the
second quarter and it
was senior Kherry Rober 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 Andreani 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 Gonya 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 Andreani 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 McKenna getting looks for
Kingswood, while DeGroot 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 Kennett up 7-3.
Kingswood
opened
the fourth with some
good chances, as Madden and Gonya both sent
shots wide and Madden
had one denied by Andreani.

NORTH
CONWAY
— The Kennett and
Kingswood girls’ tennis
teams were just about
as even as two tennis
teams could be on Tuesday, May 3, which led to
a bit of a problem.
With the two teams
scheduled to play a doubleheader, the back and
forth battles for seemingly every point kept
the teams on the court
until darkness enveloped 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 number 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.

Kennett net boys win rematch with Kingswood
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
WOLFEBORO — After a 5-4 battle in North
Conway in April, the
Kennett and Kingswood
boys’ tennis teams were
expecting a pretty good
battle when they returned to the courts for
the rematch in Wolfeboro 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 Kennett 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 Kingswood’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 tiebreaker) 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. Heysler 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, defeating Greg Bush of
Kingswood by an 8-6
score.
RUSS LUCIA picked up the lone singles win for Kingswood against Kennett on May 3.
With the Eagles holding a 5-1 advantage after
singles, the match was
decided, but the teams
headed out for doubles.
At number one, Bradley and Alber played in
the first spot for Kennett 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.

Knight girls split a pair of contests
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
WOLFEBORO — The
up and down season
continued for the Kingswood girls’ lacrosse
team last week, as the
Knights picked up another 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 Academy on Tuesday, May
3, a game that was postponed a day by rain.
Coach Sandy Bridgeman 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 added four goals and one
assist. Sofia Marshall
put in three goals and
Emily Skelley added
two goals and two assists. Freshmen Bridget
Coughlin and Mackenzie Doran each put in
a goal, with Coughlin
adding two assists and
Doran adding one helper. 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 Friday, 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 Jaguars 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 firstyear 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 McLaughlin 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 possession that makes a
difference,” Bridgeman
said of the draw control 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 getting a number of second
chances.
“Overall, the feeling’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.

er Krebs and Andrew
Belle-Isle for Babcock’s
first varsity win.
“It shows the improvement of the players throughout the season,” 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 Wednesday.
The Knights dropped
a 5-0 rain-shortened decision to Inter-Lakes on
Wednesday, May 4, and
then dropped a 6-3 decision at Prospect Mountain 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

The Knights will be

Knights struggle to get back on track
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
WOLFEBORO
—
The Kingswood softball
team’s struggles continued in the return from
vacation, as the Knights
struggled
defensively 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 Portsmouth and fell behind
by a 3-0 score thanks to
poor fielding. However, Morgan McCann’s
three-run double in the
third inning tied the
game. The Clippers added a run in the sixth but
McCann matched that
with an RBI in the bottom of the inning to tie
the game at four. The
Clippers scored the goahead 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
Rabideau 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 defensive mistakes.
Moore and Abby
Coulter led the team offensively 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 Kingswood to plate another
run in the top of the seventh, with pinch hitter
Courtney Drew coming
through. However, the
Saints scored two unearned runs in the bottom 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
welcomed John Stark on
Friday, May 6, and the
two teams played scoreless 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

SHAWNA KNOWLES rounds third base in action on Friday afternoon.
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 answered. 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 McCann 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 carom 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 quietly again in the bottom
of the sixth inning and
the Generals were able
to come up with another 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 Merrimack Valley, before
visiting
Portsmouth
on Wednesday, May 18,
both at 4 p.m.

Spaulding
Errors prove costly for Kingswood baseball
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
WOLFEBORO — The
week after school vacation 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 Portsmouth 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 fourrun 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 person, it’s everybody.”
Jacob Craigue got the
start on the hill for the
Knights and struck out
the side in the first inning, working around an
error to open the game.
In the bottom of the
first inning Kingswood
struck for two runs. Brian Lindsay led off with
a base hit and Alec Hayford reached on an error. 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 order in the bottom of the
inning, getting a nice
throw from Bryan Delaney 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 another 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 bottom of the inning, looking 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 another 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 error 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 twoout 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 despite the three losses in a
row, the Knights are getting 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 Merrimack Valley, will be at
Coe-Brown on Monday,
May 16, and will be at
Portsmouth on Wednesday, May 18, all at 4 p.m.

back down and came
charging back just 15

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 continued to pressure. Andreani 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 Gonya, 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 Eagles, 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 going 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.

“We wanted to come
here and have a respectable 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 playing on dirt, but they’re
getting through it.”
“Our defense was really phenomenal,” Frankel said. “But we can
still work on our communication a little.
“The difference was
moving the ball really
well, looking for the extra pass and pushing
the looks,” Frankel said.
“We’ve been working on
offense the last few prac-
tices and it paid off.”
Frankel noted that the
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 season 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 looking forward to seeing
the close ones (lost early in the season) again.
They’ll be playing a different team.”
The Eagles will be in
action on Monday, May

The Knights will be

Cleaning out the random thoughts
from the back of my mind
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 Scholarship 5K and the Prospect 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 Village Players show. I was
able to get some writing
done on Saturday and
then got up and cooked
breakfast for everyone
on Sunday morning before heading back south
to finish up my normal
Sunday work and head
to rehearsal at the theater. 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-ever night tennis match
last week. Kingswood
AD Aaron House scheduled each of his tennis
teams to play a match
By JOSHUA SPAULDING
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 gotten a bit dark (even with
the lights) by the end, it
was a lot of fun. I wasn’t
able to get tons of pictures 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 before 10 p.m.
As we reach the second 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 seeing 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 always play on the same
days at the same times.

North Country Notebook
Ice, ice, it’s everywhere, just what you need for a drink
By John Harrigan
Columnist
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 probably the wrong word,
because this fragment
of glacier was not in
the road, but instead
clinging tenaciously to
a small cliff, like a limpet 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 frustrations was how to get
the word out to skiers
down south that long
after most other ski areas had shut down for
the season, The Wilderness still had plenty of
snow.
“It’s hard to convince people mowing
their lawns in Boston
that we still have plenty of snow,” was his
succinct way of putting it. Warren had the
clipped accent of western Maine, not the better known Downeast
drawl,
and
didn’t
mince words.
Further east, over
the lip of the notch and
coasting down into the
Androscoggin
drainage 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-country 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 Appalachian
Mountain
Club’s hut crews on a
first-name basis, one

behind Wildcat Mountain. You reached it
via Carter Dome, a

pate of glacier-scraped
bedrock featuring a
heart-stopping descent
to a convivial supper
and a warm bunk for

There is an ice-cave

a way that the snow

by the fierce northwest winds, but the

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 playing together for dances
since 1986. Prior to that
time, Dudley has been
playing and calling traditional 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 Hampshire barn and square
dances. They are selftaught and play by ear,
having learned by the
oral tradition. They
continue this tradition
through their own students and apprentices.
Two
Fiddles
has
toured widely throughout the northeast as well
as the Pacific Northwest,
Alaska, Hawaii, Quebec,
Wisconsin, Kansas, and
Minnesota.
In 2009, Dudley received the nation’s highest honor in the folk and
traditional arts: the National Heritage Fellowship, 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 volunteers for a potluck dinner at 6:30. Dance admission is $7 per adult, $3

per family. Call 539-1967

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 deposit 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 instance, 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 pilot Harry Scott vowed
to land his float plane
(and of course take off
again) but waited nearly a lifetime for the
right conditions to do
it.
This is a pond where
the Canadian northwesterlies blow fiercely most of the time,
having attained awesome speed crossing
the mostly open and
flat countryside of the
Eastern Townships of
southern Quebec. They
then smash into the
remnants of the Appalachian Mountains
that form the boundary, and crash up and
over, of course, Boundary 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 enjoying a pontoon ride
around the pond a couple of times just to add
emphasis and flirt with
disaster, off he went
again. Harry always
began his sentences
with a barely discernible 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 pupils dilated so that we
could perceive the outlines of another creature under there, and it
became Harry, seeking
the same shelter. “Hello, boys,” he said with
a little whistle, just as
if we were encountering each other in downtown Colebrook.
One hot summer
day at Boundary, “hot
summer day” meaning
about 55, with a Force
Five gale, Bunny Bunnell 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 already well-honed sagacity.
“But hark!” he cried,
or something like that,
“we need ice!” (the
cooler’s supply somehow having become
exhausted), and down
over the dam I scrambled, because I was the
younger and number,
and fetched plenty.

Take the 7th Voyage of Sinbad this weekend at Village Players
WOLFEBORO
—
The Village Players
movie
presentations
move to the summer
schedule this month
with two screenings of
The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.
While sailing with
Princess
Parisa
to
Baghdad to their wedding, Sinbad finds the
Colossa Island and anchors his vessel to get
supplies for the starving crew. Sinbad and
his men help the magician Sokurah to escape
from a Cyclops that attacks them, and Sokurah uses a magic lamp
with a boy genie to help
them. However, their
boat sinks and he loses the lamp. Sokurah
offers a small fortune
to Sinbad to return to
Colossa, but he does
not accept and heads to
Baghdad. Sakurah requests a ship and crew
to return to Colossa
but the Caliph refuses
to jeopardize his countrymen. However, the
treacherous magician
shrinks the princess
and when the desperate Sinbad seeks him
out, he tells him that
he needs to return to
Colossa to get the ingredient necessary for
the magic potion. But
Sinbad has only his
friend Harufa to travel
with him, and he decides to enlist a doubtful crew in the prison
of Baghdad, in the beginning of his dangerous voyage to Colossa
to save the princess
and avoid the eminent
war between Chandra
and Baghdad.
Released in 1958,
this was the first feature using stop-motion
animation effects to
be completely shot in
color. “Dynamation”
(a portmanteau of “dynamic
animation”),
the name of the visual
effects technique created by Ray Harryhausen, was introduced
for this film. The name
was coined by producer Charles H. Schneer,
who decided that he
and Ray needed a gimmick to sell this technique, and distinguish
the model animation
technique from cartoon animation.
The film stars Kerwin Mathews as Sinbad and Kathryn Grant
as Princess Parisa.

movie screenings will
take place on Friday,
May 13, and Saturday,
May 14, both at 8 p.m.

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 teller of tales. A native of
the state of New Hampshire, he currently resides with his wife and
thousands of honeybees. Both at times become characters in his
personal adventure stories. Besides his original stories, he loves to
tell his own versions
of traditional folktales
that are both humorous
and thought provoking.

MARK ON THE MARKETS:
Recession?
BY MARK PATTERSON
Wolfeboro
There’s been a lot of
recent economic data
that shows the U.S. economy 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 liquidation of your investment portfolio; however,
it may be a good time
to review your current
holdings and see if they
match your current objectives. 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 portfolio 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 distribution 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 corrections – have lulled us
into a false sense of secu-
dinner begins at 6:30
p.m. The cost is $21.95
per person for a threecourse dinner, a glass
of wine, and enchanting stories.

Corner House Inn in
Sandwich at 284-6219 or

MARK CHAMBERLAIN makes his second featured appearance
at the Corner House Inn’s Storytelling Dinner Program on
Thursday, May 19. Storytelling dinners begin at 6:30 p.m.
VNA Jamboree on Saturday,
June 18, in Tuftonboro
TUFTONBORO
—
The sixth annual VNA
Jamboree will be held
Saturday, June 18, at
the United Methodist
Church at 129 Mountain Road (Route 171) in
Tuftonboro.
All proceeds go to the
Central NH VNA and
Hospice.
Come early to enjoy
the barbecue put on by
the church members at
this event, at approxi-
the League for the Advancement of New England Storytellers, and
the Seacoast Storytellers of New Hampshire.
Join
the
Corner
House Inn on May 19
to enjoy Chamberlain’s
engaging style of storytelling. The evening
also marks the next-tolast storytelling dinner of the season. The
rity and complacency.
Those who are retired
or approaching retirement may have thought
they’ll just sell assets
for income, and typically that amount has been
4 percent per year. But
what if history repeats
itself as it seems too often do and we go into a
correction followed by a
stagnant equity market?
The concept of “sequence of returns” says
that if the money that
you had earmarked for
retirement income diminishes 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 money very quickly. That
is why you would hear
me state time and time
again that we must plan
for the income with sustainable steady predictable 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 recession 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 economy or slowdown. Defensive stocks are stocks
based on companies that
traditionally offer goods
and services that people
simply don’t give up in a
slowing economy. Pharmaceuticals, food, alcohol, cigarettes and a host
of other basic necessities
are considered defensive. Certain technology
stocks that have already
slowed down significantly are not. Capital expenditure by large companies tends to slow down
as they rein in their budgets. 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.

M/S Mount Washington
to begin 2016 season
WEIRS BEACH —
Let the boating season
begin. With the successful completion of
its annual inspection
by the New Hampshire
Departments of Safety,
Marine and Fire Safety
Divisions, the venerable M/S Mount Washington 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 forward to getting back
out on the big lake and
for a successful cruising season,” says Captain Jim Morash, general manager of Mount
Washington Cruises.
The New Hampshire
Department of Safety
annually inspects the
vessel before issuing
the cruise line its license to operate. “Safety is the number one
priority with our vessels and our relationship with the Marine
and Fire Safety Divisions is very important
to us,” says Captain
Paul Smith. “We are
in contact with them
throughout the year
and open to their suggestions in how to improve our operation in
terms of safety. In addition, we’re always making improvements and
updating older systems
with the newer technology available.”
The official 2016 daily cruising season for
the M/S Mount Washington, 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, Meredith 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. To

various vessels (Mount
Washington, Doris E.
and Sophie C.) and to

THE WINNIPESAUKEE TALKIE
Home staging for the summer lifestyle
BY RANDY HILMAN
Wolfeboro
If you read this column, you know I believe
that a home’s appearance is as important to
a successful sale as motivation, price, condition
and location.
The digital age emphasizes appearance. It
demands of us that we
showcase our homes
for sale in high quality
photos and videos. It’s
the critical first impression phase followed by
the walk up and walk
through.
Important to all three
“viewing phases” is the
creation of a living environment that’s in step
with the season in which
a sale is anticipated, experts say. In winter, for
example, the emphasis
may be on warmth and
safety. In summer, leisure and relaxation.
Since buyers relate
what they view to personal visions, memories,
lifestyles or other unmet needs, appearance
must be consistent from
first photo to visit and
should be orchestrated in the context of the
seasons to facilitate the
desired emotional connection, says accredited 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 correctly, because we part
with our money emo-
tionally and justify doing so with reason,” Ms.
Webster says.
“Our goal in staging
a home for sale in summer is to create an environment that suggests a
summer vacation experience to which buyers
will relate emotionally,
not rationally,” Webster
says.
Summer is an important season in the Lakes
Region, as many of the
area’s homes are owned
by seasonal residents
and used as vacation getaways. Vacation homebuyers, meanwhile, are
very often former vacation renters who are
now ready, willing and
able to purchase.
Because these prospective buyers have
emotional connections
to the area, they subconsciously want those earlier experiences to continue 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 particular screen door slam,
roasting marshmallows,
catching fireflies or
sharing stories by the
fire. The vacation home
buyer, just like the buyer of any home, wants
to connect the past with
present and future opportunities for new but
similar experiences with
family and friends.”
So how does the home
staging
professional
stage a home for summer? One cannot obviously anticipate every
individual experience,
but exterior and interior living spaces can
be arranged to take advantage 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, quality, 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 summer months should put
a premium on natural
light, which means creating interior spaces
that reflect light instead
of absorbing it, Webster
says. This means stripping rooms of wallpaper;
removing window treatments, especially dated
heavy curtains and valances, and repainting
everything in relaxed,
neutral colors of pale
blues, greens, soft yellows and warm grays.
Furnishings
block
not only light but also
the ability of the eye to
“read” a room’s dimensions and visual qualities. Rooms should be
de-cluttered, de-personalized and re-arranged,
with just essential furnishings, such as artwork, lamps, furniture,
and small accessories
used judiciously. Strong
accents of red and orange, used sparingly,
add a splash of excitement to a room, Webster
says.
A few strategically
placed “props” also send
subliminal
messages
that trigger certain lifestyle emotions. Webster 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 binoculars 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 connection to the home.
Ocean front home:
Place white, wooden
