Dan Shallow Leaving As Pittsburg Principal In June
By Donna Jordan
Pittsburg School Principal
Dan Shallow has notified the
school board that he will not be
renewing his contract at the
end of the current school year.
Shallow took over the position of principal on July 1,
2003, replacing Dr. Frank Mel-
laci. Prior to his Pittsburg position, Shallow had been principal at Errol Consolidated
Schools (for two years) and was
headmaster at Colebrook Academy for four years. He was
Pittsburg’s Social Studies
teacher when he was hired as

FM Radio Tower Planned
On Savage Mt. In Stratford
By Donna Jordan
Jackman Holding Company,
LLC, of McLean, Va., filed a
construction application on
March 10, 2006, with the FCC
for a full-power commercial FM
radio station, with the antenna
to be located on Savage Mountain in Stratford. The company
noted in its application that the
site is in a remote, unpopulated
area and, due to the minimal
environmental impact of the
proposed facilities, the company
does not anticipate any zoning
or other issues concerning use
of the site.

Columbia’s Brenda Tibbetts Is
Author Of New Gardening Book
By Kym Lambert
Brenda Tibbetts of Columbia has published a book, Gardening in the Great North
Woods: A Guide for Cold Climate Gardeners.
In the foreword of the book
she notes that the initial idea
started when she first moved to
the area from Bethlehem and
wondered, “What will grow in a
Zone 3 garden?” This led her to
the Master Gardener Program
through the Coös County Coop-
erative Extension and to joining the Colebrook Garden Club.
Tibbetts has been gardening
for over 30 years and passed
her passion for growing things
to her three daughters and

David Herr of Canaan, Vt.,
ran in the Boston Marathon on
Monday, placing 75th overall,
in a field of 22,000 runners. He
placed fourth in the 40-andover division, being the first
American in his division. The
weather was ideal for running
on Monday, observed Herr. His
time for the race was 2:34:54,
which, said Herr, was about
normal for him.
Another local, Jeff Brooks of
Colebrook, placed 1,133 overall,
a respectable finish and near
the head of the 22,000 pack.
Brooks has had a love of running since high school and be(Continued on page 2)

Minutemen Returning To
Pittsburg This Weekend
By Charles J. Jordan
Pittsburg will again be the
gathering point this weekend
for members of the national
Minuteman Civil Defense
Corps, which first set up border watches along the Pittsburg and Canadian boundry on
April 8.
Ron Oplinus of Exeter, who
serves as the director for the
group here in the state, said in
a phone conversation with the
Chronicle on Wednesday that
“we are definitely planning to
be in Pittsburg on Saturday
and may also be there on Sunday, depending on how many
members I have come north.”
Ladd Is Appointed To
Stratford Selectboard

Cold Climate Gardeners.
By Donna Jordan
Stratford selectmen have
appointed Larry Ladd to fill
the vacant seat once held by
Steve Allen, who resigned
Town Meeting night. (For a few
weeks after Allen’s resignation,
former Selectman Tim Brooks
filled the vacated seat.)
Ladd was approached by
interim Selectman Tim Brooks
during a recent re-vote held at
Fuller Town Hall following
Town Meeting. “He said to me,
‘I think you would be a good

principal, having filled in that
position as necessary.
Shallow and his wife, Virginia, own a log home rental
business on Lake Francis
called Our Place Up North. He
told the Chronicle in July 2003,
“I think you’ll see we’ll be here
for a long while.” The Chronicle
was unable to reach Shallow
as it is school vacation week.
Radio Tower
The company anticipates
one bay antenna on a 10-meter
pole with the antenna at eight
meters above ground using a
solar cell. The coverage area
would reach as far south as
Whitefield, east to Berlin, west
to Lyndonville, Vt., and north
to Derby Line, Vt., and Pittsburg. The station’s channel will
be 254.
The owners of Jackman
Holding Company, LLC, are A.
Wray Fitch III, who has a 49
percent interest in the company, and Elizabeth Fitch, who
holds a 50 percent interest.
Wray Fitch is also a 33.3 percent member of the Fairfax
LPTV in Fairfax, Va., and a 49
percent member of Sebago
Broadcasting
Company
(WCTG) in Chincoteague, Va.
Elizabeth Fitch is a 51 percent
member of Sebago Broadcasting Company.
Herr
gan training seriously for the
Boston Marathon when he
qualified for that race after
participating in a Portland,
Maine, marathon last fall.
Herr had been convinced by
Brooks, who is a friend, to run
in the Boston Marathon when
the event was less than three
weeks away. Herr qualifies
every year to run in the Boston
Marathon, but the idea of running in the city has never appealed to him. It was a combination of things which finally
had Herr saying yes. Herr, who
is a Language Arts teacher at
Colebrook Elementary, began
considering the possibility because the race took place during school break. The lack of
snow was also a factor in
Herr’s decision. He is an avid
cross-country skier and races
throughout the winter. With
the snow gone and school out,
Herr was convinced by fellow
runner Brooks to enter the
marathon.
“It was a relatively easy
marathon,” said the Vermont
runner, although he admitted
that "Heartbreak Hill" was a
little difficult. Also, he found
the crowd distracting. Used to
running in rural marathons, he
prefers the woods to the city
streets. In Boston, the people
lined the streets and, Herr
said, “everyone was cheering, it
was hard to concentrate...in
some ways it was kind of good,
but I guess I kind of prefer not
running in the city."
The biggest race Herr had
ever run in prior to Boston con-
Friday, April 21, 2006
tained 1,500 people. Imagine
the busiest day at the Lancaster Fair and then imagine everyone at the fair running in the
same direction trying to beat
the next person to a finish line.
That image presents an idea of
how many people were in the
Boston Marathon last Monday.
Herr’s wife Terrie was unable to attend the race, but her
friend was tracking his progress online throughout the
race. She was kept up to date
and found out the results minutes after he crossed the line.
She said she never worries and
it was “interesting to see how
he was going to fare.”
“The race itself was fun,”
said Herr. When asked if he
would run it again the reply
was, “Right now, no. Maybe
some day.”
Minuteman
Oplinus told the Chronicle
two weeks ago that his group
normally sets up at undisclosed
locations (to avoid attracting
protestors, as the group encountered last year during an
event in the Derby, Vt., area).
He said that members bring
binoculars and set up lawn
chairs at various locations,
watching for anything suspicious, which they then report to
U.S. Border Patrol. He reiterated this week that members,
who are all civilians, are not
instructed by the organization
to in any way impede anything
they see, just merely report it
to the proper authorities. Members are encouraged to bring
cameras, he said, in case they
need to photograph anything
they see which looks unusual.
When asked what Minutemen saw during their April 8
visit to Pittsburg, Oplinus said,
“We didn’t see anything—but
that’s good. We realize that
there’s not a lot of traffic up
there, not like there is at the
Mexican border.” Nevertheless,
he said that he has heard that
there have been “over 500 illegal aliens” who were apprehended crossing the border
from Canada into Vermont and
New Hampshire over the past
six months alone. “For each one
caught, three got by authorities,” he said.
He readily admits that he
and other members don’t expect to see much at the Pittsburg border, but he said that
their bigger hope is that their
presence will bring attention to
what he sees as the bigger
problem: the porous nature of
the U.S. borders.
The Chronicle asks Oplinus
if the thrust of his organizations is to give authorities a
heads up on possible terrorists.
He said that is only part of the
picture. “It’s not one particular
issue,” he said. He said that
the bigger problem along the
northern border is drug trafficking. Those problems are left
to U.S. Border Patrol to handle. Members of the Minuteman Civil defense Corps focus
on human trafficking.
“These people come here
without any money or insurance and when they get sick
they go to our emergency
rooms,” he said, leaving U.S.
taxpayers to pick up the bill.
“We do feel sympathetic for

these people,” he said. “There
are a lot of people who want to
come here to find a better way
of life. But they are breaking
the law. They are being
brought in by people called
‘coyotes’ all along the Mexican
border.”
Oplinus said that if these
people encounter members of
the Minuteman organization at
their outposts, “we’ll give them
water, whatever,” but members
then are instructed to contact
authorities and report the encounter. “If they (the illegal
aliens) stay here, they may be
used and abused by their employers,” companies which routinely hire illegal aliens to fill
the low-paying jobs many
Americans will no longer take.
“And,” said Oplinus, “because
they are here illegally, they
won’t seek out (social) services”
and are more susceptible to
employer abuse.
The Chronicle asked Oplinus if his group has targeted
any of the U.S. companies
which hire and thereby encourage these illegal aliens in the
first place. He said that he is
aware of Minutemen setting up
observation posts across from
companies to report to labor
authorities what they see. Minutemen have also been known
to hold up signs protesting the
practice at such alleged workplaces.
Larry Ladd
selectman,’” said Ladd. “So I
talked
about
it
with
(Selectman) Vicki DeLalla and
she suggested that I attend a
couple meetings to see if it was
something I would like to do.”
Ladd was sworn in on Monday, April 10, filling the position about half-way through
the meeting. He has had experience serving on public
boards, including 17 years on
the Stewartstown School
Board. “I kind of missed the
school board meetings and
thought I’d look at the town
politics,” said Ladd. “I find that
the school board and selectmen
meetings run just about the
same. I’m looking forward to
working with Vicki and
(Selectman) Betty MacDonald
and going with what is in the
best interests of the town.”
In other news, Steve LaFrance of Horizons Engineering met with the Stratford selectmen this week to discuss
how to next proceed with the
Hollow sewer project. At a special meeting held after Town
Meeting to reconsider a warrant article, voters rejected a
$550,000 plan to install septic
systems for 27 homes in Stratford Hollow. LaFrance told the
selectboard that it appears
agencies involved in funding
for the project are willing to
meet and get the project reworked. “It sounds like we can
still do something for the low
income homeowners, which is
really what this was about in
the first place,” LaFrance told
the selectmen. One issue which
needs to be addressed with the
funding agencies is the money
the town received from a
CDBG grant, which was
awarded, explained LaFrance,
based on a certain number of
applicants and a certain number of beneficiaries. Also, the
voters had approved raising
$80,000 in 2004 to be used for a
specific purpose toward the
sewer project and, said Selectman Vicki DeLalla, “That purpose has changed.”
In addition, LaFrance said,
“Some of the properties that
may have been eligible for the
new systems when we first
took the survey in 2001 have
changed and some people have
moved. Not everybody will be
able to get a system because
their lots are too small, and
others, while they have a problem with their existing systems, won’t be eligible for the
low-income funds.”
LaFrance said that it would
be “a plus” if every homeowner
in Stratford Hollow had their
own system “so they won’t be
on a town system anymore.”
The selectmen voted to return
property to its original owner
which had been taken by eminent domain for use in the Hollow Sewer Project. “Our town
attorney said we should act on
that very soon because there
may be a suit brought in response to that taking,” said
Selectman Betty MacDonald.
“Right now,” said LaFrance, “I
can’t think of any reason you’d
want to keep it.” In the end,
said MacDonald, “The possibility of having a townmaintained, town-operated
system just isn’t going to be
possible. It’s important for people to realize we are working
on this and moving ahead as
fast as possible.”
LaFrance noted that “the
design we had was nothing
more than a pump station on
each property and a leach field
on one property. Now we’re
talking about a leach field on
each property, so now you’ll
have to have a perk test for
each system just like you would
for any new system.”
County
STATE SEEKS $1 MILLION
FOR BERLIN WORKERS
Gov. John Lynch announced
this week that the state has
applied to the U.S. Dept. of
Labor for a $1 million National
Emergency Grant (NEG) to
assist 250 laid off workers from
the Fraser Papers pulp mill.
The state’s Workforce Opportunity Council has applied for the
grant.
“New Hampshire state government is committed to doing
everything possible to assist
workers affected by the
planned closure of the Fraser
pulp mill. A National Emergency Grant would provide
critical assistance to workers to
help them with re-employment
and job searches,” Gov. Lynch
said.
Dick Anagnost, Chair of the
Workforce Opportunity Council, said the funds would be
used to support activities at a
Worker Assistance Center that
was established by the Council
for workers and their families.
Approximately 250 workers
from the pulp mill will end
their job on May 6. The NEG
funds will be used to offer a
variety of re-employment, job
search and career counseling
services, said Anagnost. In
addition, workers can access
job-training funds from the
federal Trade Act.

OCEAN STATE JOB LOT
PLANS MOVE INTO AMES
Though the Rhode-Island
retailer and the plaza’s owner
have declined to confirm that
the sale is complete, Ocean
State Job Lot has placed a help
wanted ad in the Berlin Daily
Sun seeking employees for a
store in Northumberland. It
have also listed the location on
its corporate website, saying
that it will be opening this
summer.
In September 2005, in the
Lancaster Herald, the chain
first confirmed its interest in
opening a branch in the former
Ames Department Store in
Northumberland.
The ad notes that there are
immediate openings at a minimum $9.25 an hour rate (more
based on experience) for Section Merchandise Managers
and an Operations Supervisor.
There is an $8.50 minimum for
for a Visual Merchandiser and
$7.50-$8 minimum for Secondary and Primary Front End
Supervisors. The company offers 100 percent company-paid
health coverage after one year
(full-time only), and a 401 (k)
plan, vacations, and other
benefits. One may visit the
company
website
at
www.oceanstatejoblot.com
Their website notes that the
store will be open Monday
through Saturday from 8 a.m.
until 9 p.m. and Sundays from
9-8.
The company began as a
single-store operation in 1977,
in North Kingstown, R.I. Its
website notes, “The idea was to
sell brand-name, first-quality
products at great prices…
That’s still the goal today.”
The company now lists 80
store locations on their website, five of which, including
Northumberland) are in New
Hampshire. The others are
located in Peterborough, Ossipee, Walpole and Woodsville.
All are in former Ames stores.
Thirty-six are in Massachusetts, 15 in Rhode Island, one
in Belfast, Maine, with the
remainder in Connecticut.
The store merchandise typically consists of a variety of
manufacturers’ overruns, overstock, goods that have undergone packaging changes, and
areas where store buyers have
determined that “holes” exist
in the marketplace.
The typical store, according
to the company website, carries
4,000 items, including clothing,
housewares and decor, electronic equipment, lawn and
garden supplies, stationery,
sporting goods, pet supplies,
speciality foods, etc.
The stores offer their customers discounts from 50 to 90
percent on merchandise. Ocean
State projects sales in excess of
$350 million in 2006. The company is ranked as the 137th
largest discount retailer in the
United States by the trade
journal, Discount Store News.
When an Ocean State Job
Lot store opens, it usually
hires about 50 people and then
grows from there, its website
indicates.
The former Ames store is
currently being used for storage by the Wausau Paper Co.

Congratulations To David Herr
On His Remarkable Run In Boston
Bud Hikel of our staff was the first to call to tell us
about it. Bud has run in his share of marathons over
the years and asked, “Did you see how well David Herr
did in the Boston Marathon? It’s pretty incredible.”
David came in 75th in the Boston footrace. The
more we thought about it, the more David’s level of
achievement seemed indeed incredible. The Canaan
runner bested some 22,000 other runners, with only 74
runners from around the world outpacing him to the
finish line on Monday. For his part, David’s comment
on the event was, “It was fun.”
And the other local runner in the race, Jeff Brooks
of Colebrook—who convinced David to run in the Boston race—turned in no small accomplishment himself,
outdistancing some 95 percent of the runners in the
race, by our rough estimate. Jeff placed 1,133 overall.
Congratulations to both men for great finishes during the Boston Marathon!

Subdivision Public Hearing
Carrier Family Irrevocable
Trust—Dana Masson presented
a boundary-line adjustment
and two-lot subdivision of the
property owned by the Carrier
Family Irrevocable Trust on
Route 26, identified on the
Colebrook Tax Maps as R8 Lot
4 and U10 Lot 2S. He explained
that the boundary-line adjustment would add U10 Lot 2S to
the larger parcel of R8 Lot 4.
The subdivision would then
create Lot 1 equaling 2.45
acres, with the remaining acreage staying with R8 Lot 4. Lot 1
will be a building lot and state
subdivision approval has already been obtained, along with
a driveway permit from the
State of New Hampshire. Abutters O’Neil and Davis had no
objections to the boundary line
adjustment and subdivision.
Riendeau made a motion to
approve the plan as presented;
Jolles seconded and all present
agreed.
Carrier returned to the
board.
Eleanor and Albion Lyons—
Dana Masson presented a twolot subdivision of the property
on Diamond Pond Road, owned
by Eleanor Lyons and Albion
Lyons, identified on the Colebrook Tax Maps as R1 Lot 7
and R2 Lot 33. This property is
currently over 300 acres (and
has two different tax numbers
due to Diamond Pond Road
dividing it.) The subdivision
would create two parcels which
do not meet the 4:1 ratio. Masson explained that this subdivision is being completed for estate purposes and the land will
remain in agricultural use.
Town of Colebrook subdivision regulation 7.03(g) states
“No lots subdivision shall be
permitted where ratio between
the narrowest longest dimensions exceed 1 to 4.” This proposed subdivision would create
two lots where the dimensions
would be greater than 1 to 4.
Larry Rappaport stated if the
plan was approved and presented with a waiver granted
for the 1 to 4 ratio, the notation
“nonbuildable lot” would need
to be indicated on the plan. He
further stated, the other option
would be to deny the subdivision and the Lyons could ask
for a variance from the Zoning
Board of Adjustment. Lyons
agreed that they do not want
the notation “nonbuildable lot”
on the plan. Riendeau made a
motion to deny the subdivision
as presented; Carrier seconded
and all present agreed. Denied.
William H. Whitaker—Neal
Brodein presented a design for
a two-lot subdivision of
Whitaker’s property, bordered
by Piper Hill Road and Aldrich
Road, identified on the Colebrook Tax Map as R6 Lot 29.
The subdivision proposed one
lot to equal 3.34 acres and one
equaling 3.33 acres. Currently
there is a house and mobile
home on this property. Brodien
explained that the state subdivision approval, due to under
five acres, had not been received to date. A request has
been sent in for prior designs of

Craven gave a brief synopsis of
the past 10 years of development of the film leading up to
its filming during a six-week

The Chronicle!
By Dick Richards
(802) 277-8890
WILDLIFE
A snowstorm in April is not
that unusual, but since we had
very little in March we had
gotten used to the bare ground.
It has snowed hard since before
noon. As we live at the foot of
the mountain, as I have mentioned before, we have occasion
to see a variety of wildlife. Deer
and turkeys and the all too
common crows and smaller bird
varieties are bold enough to
steal food I put out for the feral
cats that live in our barn.
Skunks are often present to
make life interesting, along
with coydogs, woodchucks, and,
I think, fisher cats. Which reminds me, Elseia’s nurse
brought over from her home on
Bishop Brook, “The Old Andrew
Maconell, George Parrish, Mary
Hunt, Jimmy Keysar Place,”
some pictures she had taken of
a fisher robbing her bird feeder.
This is unusual, as I understand fishers are nocturnal.
The photos appeared in last
week’s Chronicle.
The day before yesterday I
saw a pair of bobcats walking
along the bank of Willard
Stream. Only once before have
we seen one come near the barn
in the daytime. This was many
years ago. One came down the
upper field and crossed the
bridge east of our house. I guess
someone got the deer that have
for several years called the
woods around Willard their
home as we have not seen them
this spring. Someone got at
least one of the moose last fall.
The wild turkeys came between
the house and barn and migrated north and east. We have
not seen them since.
They are talking of replacing
the temporary bridge on
Willard Stream. When and if
this happens, the wildlife will
again, of course, move back up
the mountain and we won’t see
them. When they put the temporary bridge in, our yard became a cul de sac for thousands
of cars, trucks, etc., that had to
turn around and go west to the
Connecticut River Bridge and
east to Colebrook before going
north on Route 3. We felt for
those people, many of who lived
between here and Canaan.
Some hardy souls crossed the
stream below the bridge and
made it up out of the little field
that had been destroyed by the
flood.
The road between here and
Canaan is the worst I remember it being in the 34 years I
have lived here. The huge
trucks with heavy loads of logs
take this route, probably to
avoid N.H. DOT, which would
perhaps weigh them up across
the river. Our farm no longer
pollutes Willard Stream or the
Connecticut River east of us
since for several years we have
had no cattle. They used to go
under the bridge to the pasture
in front of our home. I can only
speculate as to the trouble we
would have caused the State if
we had been milking a herd
while they were replacing the
bridge, etc. Since the cows are
long gone, they are not a problem.
The baseball season has
started and once again we will
live and die with our beloved
Red Sox. At least they have
started out on the right foot,
but to have the hated Yankees
so blatantly hire our centerfielder and ordered him to cut
his hair and shave his beard—I
hope he stumbles and our Coco
Crisp excels.

other lakes, there was no water
current to carry them along the
11 miles of lake water to the
next river on their way to the
mills at Berlin.
The “boom” or raft of logs
contained from 3,500 to 5,000
cords of logs and it was closed
and chained together to hold
the logs. Now, a large steampowered towboat, in this case
one named The Frost, hooked a
large steel cable to the raft of
logs to start towing the massive
load across the often windswept
lake. The steam-powered towboat was a squat and sturdily
built boat up to 90 feet in
length and with a beam (width)
of over 20 feet. It was powered
by a steam engine and special
gear works that operated two
huge paddle-wheels, one at
each side of the log tow-boat.
The paddlewheels were powered independently of each
other to provide not only propulsion, but also to assist with
the turning of the boat. Also
powered by the steam engine
were two powerful winches or
steel cable drums containing
nearly a mile of steel cable and
several feet of anchor cable.
The towboat crew consisted
of two captains (to operate in
two shifts around the clock),
two firemen to tend to the

Northwoods Echoes
ICE OUT CALLED
TOW BOATS TO ACTION
In the years of a bygone and
never-to-be-seen-again era in
this Northland, this was the
season when large log-towing
boats were in full operation on
the Androscoggin Lakes above
Errol after the long-awaited
“ice out” at the big lakes.
The task of the big tow boats
and the crew members who
manned them was indeed a
formidable one. Already, millions of logs had poured into the
lakes from the swollen woodland streams and as the logs
had floated long distances from
the remote winter lumber
camps. From as far away as the
Canadian border, the logs had
been carried by the swift flowing waters from the spring
thawing and snow melt.
Thousands more cords of the
pulpwood logs were to follow.
Having traveled a great distance already, the logs would
temporarily rest at the head of
a lake to await the next leg of
their transportation. As they
reach the head of the lake, the
logs were corralled by a giant
floating chain made up of long
boom logs secured end to end by
short boom chains. As the logs
rested at the head of the big

steam boilers, two engineers, a
cook and a motor tender boat
operator. The crew lived on
board while working six-hour
shifts around the clock. The
crew’s quarters were on the
first deck along with the wheel
house. The captain’s quarters
were on the upper deck.
When The Frost finally arrived at Upper Dam after 22
hours of towing the giant boom
of pulpwood logs across the
lake, the boom of logs was
opened and the logs were
sluiced through the dam and
into Richardson Lake, which is
on a lower level. When the
boom had been emptied, the
string of 40-foot-long boom logs
was again taken in tow by a
smaller boat to be pulled back
up the lake where it would
again be used in making up
another giant raft. It could be
mentioned here that the big
towboats did not actually tow
the heavy booms of logs. Instead, the towboat steamed
ahead of the giant raft of logs
for nearly a mile, then stopped
to anchor. Once solidly anchored, the steam winches
pulled the boom along by a steel
cable until it was close to the
towboat. The process was repeated over and over again

PUBLIC INPUT SOUGHT
ON CONN. LAKES PLAN
The N.H. Fish and Game
Dept. will present a draft of the
Connecticut Lakes Natural
Area Stewardship Plan to the
public at an open house on
April 28, 2006, from 2:30 to
4:30 p.m. and again from 6 to 8
p.m. at the Pittsburg Fire Station on Route 3.
The open house is not a traditional public meeting, but an
informal opportunity for Fish
and Game staff to share information with the public and for
people to provide feedback.
The department will also
make a formal presentation of
the draft document to the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters
Citizen Advisory Committee at
its meeting on April 29, at 10
a.m., at the Pittsburg Fire Station.
The Connecticut Lakes
Natural Area (CLNA) Stewardship Plan is a requirement of
the Conservation Easement
held by the Nature Conservancy, which deeded the property to Fish and Game in December of 2002. Once it is approved, the Stewardship Plan
will serve as the guiding document for the management of
the 25,000-acre natural area in
Pittsburg and Clarksville.
N.H. Fish and Game welcomes input on the draft at
both the open house and the
Citizens Advisory Committee
meeting. Copies of the draft
Stewardship Plan will be available for public review at the
Pittsburg library and on the
Fish and Game website on or
before April 24.

also be present to discuss wildlife habitat and other costshare programs available for
landowners. “If you have a
woodlot with tall, standard size
trees that you’d like to see
brought back to productive life,
this program is for you,” organizers say.
The workshop is on Saturday, April 22, at 10:30 a.m. at
the Weeks State Park, Route 3,
Lancaster. No registration is
required. Participants will be
gathering at the parking area
at the top of the hill across
from the Route 3 entrance. Be

LEARN TO LIVE
WITH BLACK BEARS
The unfortunate recent news
from Tennessee of a six-yearold girl being killed and her
mother and two-year old
brother mauled by a black bear
may have some New Hampshire residents feeling a little
nervous about the Granite
State’s 5,000 bears. Although
bears should be treated as unpredictable wild animals, there
is no need to be alarmed, says
N.H. Fish and Game Dept.
Bear Project Leader Andy Timmins, because bears generally
avoid humans. Black bears in
New Hampshire rarely show
aggressive behavior towards
humans; the last time a person
died from a bear attack in New
Hampshire was more than 200
years ago.
“People don't need to fear
bears, but they should keep
their distance and treat bears
as unpredictable wild animals,”
said Timmins. “The surest way
to prevent property damage
and reduce concerns over human safety is to keep your
yard—or campsite—free of attractants including food, garbage, birdseed and pet foods.
You may need to take additional steps to protect items
that can't be removed. For example, dumpsters should have
a locking metal top that prevents access by bears, and beehives and livestock should be
protected with an electric fence.
To avoid bear-related conflicts,
prevent bears from visiting
and, most of all, from getting in
the habit of finding food on
your property.”
Feeding bears is not only a
bad idea, it may be illegal under a rule that went into effect
in 2005. The law prohibits the
purposeful or inadvertent feeding of black bears following a
determination by Fish and
Game that the feeding increases the likelihood of human
injury or property damage.
Spring is a critical time
when bears are out and about,
looking for food. During late
March and early April, bears
leave their dens and begin feeding heavily on any available
food to replenish fat reserves
depleted during the long winter
denning period. During the
denning period, bears typically
lose 25 percent of their body
weight; a lactating female with
newborn cubs may lose as
much as 40 percent. The greatest nutritional stress on a bear
comes one to two months after
they come out of their dens.
Homeowners should take
action to reduce the chances of
a bear visiting their home.
Avoid encounters with bears by
taking a few simple precau(Continued on page 12)

to North American Wildflowers, this fragile white flower rises from the center of its curled leaf, opening in full sun, and closing at night. The red juice from the underground stem was used by Native
Americans as a dye for baskets, clothing and war paint, as well as an insect repellent. Carolyn Eidell

tions:
—Stop all bird feeding by
April 1 or as soon as snow
melts.
—Clean up any spilled birdseed and dispose of it in the
trash.
—Secure all garbage in airtight containers inside a garage
or adequate storage area, and
put garbage out on the morning of pickup, not the night
before.
—Avoid putting meat or
other food scraps in your compost pile.
—Don't leave pet food dishes
outside overnight.
—Clean and store outdoor
grills after each use.
—Finally, never intentionally
feed bears.
These steps will help to ensure that your backyard does
not become attractive to bears
and other wildlife, which is
important for two reasons: it
prevents property damage by
bears and keeps bears from
becoming nuisance animals. By
minimizing bear/human conflicts, we can coexist with these
magnificent animals even as
New Hampshire becomes more
developed. There is some truth
to the adage that “a fed bear is
a dead bear.” Once they get
used to relying on human food
sources in your backyard, some
“nuisance” bears may need to
be destroyed.

Freshwater anglers should
note that the N.H. Fish and
Game Dept. will hold a public
hearing on its proposed 2007
fishing rule changes on Tuesday, May 2, at 6:30 p.m., at
Fish and Game headquarters
on Hazen Drive in Concord.
The department is propos-
ing to amend the fishing rules
for 2007 to:
—Eliminate the 15-inch
minimum length for rainbow
trout
in
Silver
Lake
(Harrisville) and Nubanusit
Lake (Hancock/Nelson); and
from April 1-Sept. 30, increase
the combined daily limit for
rainbow trout and lake trout
taken from these two waters to
four fish, of which no more
than two fish may be lake
trout.
—Open the season for flyfishing ponds, as well as the
section of the Connecticut River
from the dam at Second Lake
to the logging bridge on the
Magalloway Road, to yearround fishing through open
water; no ice fishing.
—Clarify the rule on hooks
used for the attachment of bait.

FLY-FISHING-ONLY,
TROUT PONDS OPENING
Fishing in New Hampshire’s
designated trout ponds and flyfishing-only ponds opens this
year on Saturday, April 22,
offering anglers the chance to
experience exciting fishing in
some of the Granite State’s
most scenic surroundings.
These ponds are managed specifically for trout, and fishing is
allowed from opening day
through Oct. 15.
“These trout ponds are often
the best waters in a given area
for a variety of reasons. Excellent habitat, low species competition and the fact that these
ponds are closed to ice-fishing
allows these waters to be managed for the trout fishing enthusiast,” said Don Miller, a
Fisheries Biologist for N.H.
Fish and Game.
While trout ponds are found
throughout New Hampshire,
many of the most popular are
found in the White Mountain,
Monadnock and North Country
regions. Ponds managed for
trout may be stocked with a
variety of different-aged fish.
Fish and Game stocks 53 remote trout ponds with fingerling brook trout via helicopter
each spring, offering anglers a
wilderness experience. Chapin
Pond in Newport, Cole Pond in
Enfield and Coon Brook Bog in
Pittsburg, all fly-fishing-only
waters, are just a sampling of
these delightful ponds, where
fingerling brook trout often
grow to 8-10 inches by their
second fall in the pond, and it's
not unusual to pull in brookies
15 inches or more. Trophy fish
in these areas are brook trout
that live to three or more years
old.
Clough Pond in Loudon,
Dublin Lake in Dublin,
Saltmarsh Pond in Gilford and

few good early season hotspots

take place back in 1932 in the
days of Prohibition. The lead
actors were Charlie McDermont, Kris Kristofferson, Luis
Guizman and Rusty Dewees,
and author Mosher. I didn’t see
very much of our Model “A” in
the movie, but at least my
name was shown with the rest
of the car owners.
From the fall and winter
1936-1937 Sears, Roebuck and
Co. catalog you could buy connecting rod wrenches for 35
cents or a main bearing wrench
for 75 cents that was as high as
they went. The other wrenches
they had went for 25 and 35
cents.
When I was growing up,
they didn’t use bad language in
the movies and they didn’t use
bad language in the books.
They wrote the same as they do
today. It’s getting so they use a
lot of bad words on TV. They
don’t seem to care that little
children are watching and listening to what they say. Then
they wonder why their kids get
into so much trouble when they
get older.
The Mohawk road is getting
a lot smoother now. There’s a
big hump in the road just before you get to my place. It’s so
high the car drags when we go
over it. Someone said they were
thinking of renaming the Government Woods Road and calling it Tin Can Alley because
there’s so many cans beside the
road and in the ditches.

their children. All her grandchildren love to garden and she
noted that one, who is seven
years old, has become fascinated with the texture of
leaves. Brenda and her husband, James Tibbetts, are
awaiting their eighth and
ninth grandchildren to be born
in May, “Right at the height of
planting season,” she noted.
As to why she developed this
love for gardening, Tibbetts
said, “I really think it comes
from a desire to be outdoors
and gardening gives me permission to be outside. I love the
smell of the outdoor air, I love
the wind and I love working in
the dirt.” Now that she has
taken to writing, she noted, she
now has something to do in the
winter months as she thinks
about being back in the garden.
She was inspired to write by
the Master Gardener Program
and the knowledge she was
gaining from other gardeners
in the area. It began as a project of collecting information
from the other gardeners, with
a questionnaire. She then realized she needed to put some
sort of an introduction with it
and from there grew the book.
The book includes the questionnaire, as well as the answers it
gave. There are also lists of
things people are growing here,
with introductions to each part,
including vegetables, herbs,
annuals, biennials and perennials.
She discusses preparing the
garden from the first step, in-
cluding noting the importance
of testing soil ph, something
she discovered the value of only
after moving here. She discusses mulching methods and
the way various locations, even
on one piece of property, can
make a difference in what can
be grown in this region. All this
is geared specifically toward
what she explains is usually
referred to as Zone 3 by the
Arnold Arboretum Hardiness
Zone chart or 4A or 3B by the
USDA. Either way, she notes,
it comes down to the fact that
this region has 90 to 100 days
average growing season.
Not only does she share
what she has learned in her
studies and experience, in a
way even the most confused
beginner can understand, but
she also lists various resources
throughout the book for those
who wish to explore more or
who need sources of seeds,
plants and gardening products.
Although Bethlehem isn’t
that far, Tibbetts says that she
really did notice a huge difference in what she could grow,
and how, when she moved
here, especially as her land is
very open to the wind.
Gardening in the Great
North Woods is 60 pages, spiral
bound, and sells for $13.
Brenda is mostly selling books
out of her house, as well as
preparing to get copies to those
who answered the questionnaire, but she is looking to
market it locally as well. It will
be on sale at the June Garden
Club plant sale.

a motion to accept the subdivision, conditional to state approval of both septic systems.

Conceptual Design
Marie Josee Vaillant—
Vaillant presented a conceptual plan for a subdivision of
her property. Discussion ensued as to whether the access
would be from Aldrich Road,
Town Line Road or Angel Road.
Br ad Mon tague—Dan a
Blais questioned a subdivision
of Montague’s land at the foot
of Carlton Hill Road. This lot is
long and narrow, bordering the
Mohawk River. It was noted
that the floodplain line goes
through the property on the
other bank of the Mohawk
River. The board suggested
FEMA mapping or a certificate
of elevation would be necessary
with any subdivision.
Bills
Larry Rappaport made a
motion to pay the News and
Sentinel invoice for $110 and
the invoice from Jordan Associates Colebrook Chronicle for
$20. Carrier seconded and the
motion passed.
New Business
Because of the new temporary sign regulation, area
churches have asked if they
needed to complete a temporary sign permit for the sign
put out three days in advance
to advertise church suppers.
The board felt sandwich signs
fall under existing regulations
and, therefore, do not need a
permit.
A complaint was received
stating Karen Mercier was telling the employees at Dr. Kay’s
office that they could not park
behind Dr. Kay’s office anymore. The Planning Board felt
this was a civil issue between
the two parties.
The following applications
for a certificate of occupancy
were reviewed and signed: Raymond J. Champage, doublewide home, Harry’s Way; Kellianne and Darren LaValley, a
frame home, Carlton Hill Road.
Old Business
The board reviewed the fee
schedule as proposed in February. Rappaport brought up the
fact that residential permits
could be for habitable space
versus nonhabitable. Rappaport made a motion to change
the Residential Permit fee
to .05 cents per square foot
with a minimum of $25. Commercial Building Permits
would be .10 cents per square
foot with a minimum fee of
$50. Rappaport further moved
to accept the remaining fee
changes as presented. Carrier
seconded and all present
agreed.

From Pondy Dam, the logs

gathered into large booms one

which was based just above the

logs then flowed freely down

Some of the floating logs

CHRONIC WASTING
DISEASE NOT IN STATE
New Hampshire’s deer
population once again showed
no evidence of chronic wasting
disease (CWD), based on monitoring data gathered during
the 2005 hunting season. N.H.
Fish and Game Deer Biologist
Kent Gustafson recently received results from a federally
certified veterinary diagnostic
laboratory which indicate that
all the deer tissue samples
taken during last fall’s hunting
season tested negative for
CWD.
Chronic wasting disease is a
neurological disorder that is
fatal to white-tailed deer, mule
deer, elk and moose. The World
Health Organization has concluded that there is no evidence
that people can become infected with CWD.
During the fall 2005 deer
hunting season, N.H. Fish and
Game collected heads from
hunter-killed deer across the
state for testing. A total of 402
tissue samples were tested.
The monitoring is part of a
nationwide effort to identify
areas with CWD; as a result of
these efforts, more than 1,400
deer have been tested in New
Hampshire since 2002.
A nationwide effort is underway to prevent further spread.
This effort includes collecting
annual samples of deer tissue
as part of ongoing monitoring
and surveillance efforts and
restricting the transport of potentially infected animals or
tissues.
People who make hunting
trips to the 16 CWD-positive
jurisdictions listed above can
help keep New Hampshire
CWD-free by closely following
the regulations on bringing
home deer, elk or moose carcasses. For example, you can
bring back only deboned meat,
antlers, upper canine teeth

CANAAN BASEBALL
PREVIEW
Canaan’s Varsity Baseball
Team has a promising season
ahead of it.
Canaan is 2-0 already this
season. The Eagles made one
error per game last Saturday in
Cabot. Alain Westover struck
out eight players in Canaan’s
first game, while Connor Daley
struck out 10 in the second
game.
Last year’s seniors were
Cody
McGibbin,
John
Thibeault and Ryan Vincent.
This year’s seniors are Alain
Westover and James Day. Joining Westover and Connor Daley
on the mound this season will
be Zack Daley and Jake Smith.
—Rebekah Sylvestre
CANAAN SOFTBALL
PREVIEW
Canaan’s Varsity Softball
team should fare well this year.
Coach Larry Fuller is pleased
with a talent-filled team. “We
will be 500 this year,” said
Coach Fuller.
The team graduated Katie
Daley last June. This year, the
Eagles have
six 12-graders
who are ready to step up to the
plate. Jasmine Fuller, Julie
Patenaude, Lyanne Vigneault,
Kathleen Rodrigue, Jade Hann
and Claudia Marquis will be
the leaders this season. Coach
Fuller believes the seniors will
push the underclassmen’s skills
and also take their own game
to the next level this season.
The Eagles played Cabot on
Saturday at home and won
each game. Last year the Eagles made it to State Champs
and Coach Fuller is confident
this year they will go far.
“They’ll do pretty well, they
have the talent, they should go
a ways,” he said. The team has
a strong foundation with its
hitting, fielding, catching and
pitching. Kaitlyn Pariseau will
be on the mound this year. Pariseau will be joined by Karissa
Doyon and, possibly, Jasmine
Fuller.
Canaan has started the season with two injuries. Abby
Young has been practicing with
the team after coming off knee
surgery. Danielle Harris will be
joining the team as the season
progress after her battle with
illness. With the weather
warming up the team is now
able to practice outside. The
team is looking forward to
great season.
