Bretton Woods, part of the historic Omni Mount Washington Resort in New Hampshire, is gearing up for its 41st ski season. Located in the upslope snow belt of the highest summit in the east, Bret-ton Woods receives more than 200 inches of nat-ural snowfall annually. Coupled with a $2 million

investment over the last three years in state-of-the-art snowmak-ing improvements, Bretton Woods assures that skiers and snow-boarders will experience the best trail conditions throughout the entire season.

These investments have paid off, as Bretton Woods was named the highest-ranked Snow and Grooming in the East for the sec-ond year in a row by SKI Magazine readers, and remains the top choice for Overall Satisfaction in New Hampshire and among

the best in Service, Scenery and Kid Friendly offerings. Whether you prefer carving the perfect turn on wide open cruisers, ex-ploring miles of signature tree-dotted glades or finding secret powder stashes, Bretton Woods’ three peaks offer plenty of op-portunities for everyone from beginners to the most seasoned skiers and riders.

For cross-country skiers, Bretton Woods has expanded its 100km Nordic trail system with the development of Fabyan Fields, a new 3km network near the alpine base area. In addition,

MountainEar h 5

Bretton Woods continues to be one of the few ski resorts to of-fer lift-serviced high-country Nordic terrain on Mount Stickney, which benefits from colder temperatures and increased snow accumulation allowing for good conditions early and late in the ski season.

Off the slopes, those who love winter will find no shortage of activities to enjoy. From high-flying fun on nine ziplines, to oth-er adventures closer to the ground like dog sledding, sleigh rides and our nature-inspired spa, the wonders of winter await you. And at the end of the day, staying and dining right at the resort --- including the fabled Omni Mount Washington Hotel with its rich history, elegant décor and attentive staff --- make every visit to this mountain retreat a memorable experience.

There’s no place like the Villagefor the holidays - By Prudence Smith

Holidays

It happens so fast…spring, summer and fall have flashed by us, Thanksgiving turkey has been digested and all thoughts now focus on the December holiday season. Christmas shopping is, of course, foremost on most minds and the North Conway area with its abundance of outlet stores and village specialty shops provide the shopper with

hundreds ofchoices in which to spend their holiday dollars. However,

without ever wandering too far from “the village” (the villages of Conway, North Conway and Jackson included) there are

many other holiday activities to give you a break from the nor-mal shopping routine and, in most cases, give your wallet a rest!

Start the month musically on Tuesday, Dec. 2, when the 22-piece Mt. Washington Valley Community Band, conducted

by Russ Gagne, will perform a Merry Christmas Concert at 7 p.m. at the Nativity Lutheran Church. WMUR’s meterologist Hayley LaPoint will serve as guest narrator.

On Dec. 6, Conway Village will kick off their 2015 250th An-niversary early with

a whole day of celebratory events. Take the kids to get a pic-ture with Santa at 1 p.m. at the Northway Bank in Conway, fol-lowed by story time at the Conway Public Library at 2 p.m. A parade at 3 p.m. will precede the 4 p.m. tree lighting. Then enjoy a Holiday on Ice show at the Ham arena after which you can lace up your own skates for free skating starting at 6:30 p.m.!

Back in North Conway on Dec. 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 through 23 the Conway Scenic Railroad will be running Santa’s Holiday Ex-press where Santa and his Elves will be available for pictures with

Mt. Washington State Parkcelebrates its 50th anniversary - By Edith Tucker

Milestones

Fifty years ago, the state of New Hampshire pur-chased 59 acres atop the state’s highest peak in Sar-gent’s Purchase from Dartmouth College, facilitat-ing the establishment of Mt. Washington State Park to preserve and develop the summit’s unusual sce-nic, scientific, historical, and recreational features

for public use and enjoyment. The state’s half-century of summit stewardship was celebrated

on Thursday, Oct. 15, at the Museum of the White Mountains at Plymouth State University (PSU).

Dartmouth had acquired 67 acres of land atop the summit in 1962 and in 2008 sold its remaining 8.2 acres to the state.

The 50th anniversary celebration drew both Commissioner Jeff Rose of the Department of Resources and Economic De-velopment (DRED) and Director Phil Bryce of the Division of Parks and Recreation as well as Mount Washington Commis-sion chairman Walter Graff, Appalachian Mountain Club senior vice president, and attorney Jack Middleton, president of the McLane law firm and current and original Commission mem-ber when it was established in the late 1960s.

Mt. Washington Park manager Mike Pelchat of Gorham built a sturdy cairn outside the Museum building with the help others to mark the special occasion. Speakers also touted his outstand-ing dedication in fulfilling his responsibilities on the summit of the Northeast’s highest mountain.

PSU’s executive director of university relations Steve Barba, formerly of Dixville, stood in for PSU President Sara Jayne Steen to welcome the 50 or so people on hand for the happy occa-sion. He pointed out that he had been an original member of the Coös County Planning Board for the Unincorporated Plac-es, including both Dixville and Sargent’s Purchase. Barba said one of his fondest memories of Mt. Washington was the time he spent an overnight in the Sherman Adams Building and visited the WMTW-Channel 8 weather studio staffed by Marty Eng-strom and watched him deliver his report in his deep Maine ac-cent, ending the presentation with his famous smile.

DRED Commissioner Rose noted that three legislators were on hand: state Senator Nancy Stiles, a Republican of Hampton who chairs the Senate Health, Education and Human Services Committee; Rep. Suzanne Smith, a Democrat of Hebron who is

vice chair of the House Resources, Recreation and Development Committee, and Rep. James Agular, a Democrat of Campton, who also serves on the RR&D Committee.

Rose also introduced two other key players: WMNF Super-visor Tom Wagner and Mt. Washington Observatory executive director Scott Henley.

He pointed out that there are many ways to reach the “majes-tic yet accessible” summit: hiking trails, Cog Railway, and the Auto Road that, he recalled, he first ascended in the back of a station wagon.

Bryce praised the many contributions of Park manager Pel-chat of Gorham and the rest of the state’s “first-rate” summit staff.

Chuck Henderson, who serves as Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s North Country representative, read aloud a letter from her: “Though it hosts some of the most inhospitable weather on Earth, Mount Washington State Park welcomes thousands of hikers, nature enthusiasts, scientists, tourists and others in as-cending the Northeast’s highest peak…. It remains an asset of unique scientific and scenic value.”

Henderson said he cherishes the memory of 20 immigrants

taking the Oath of Allegiance in front of the Hon. Joseph Laplante, U.S. District Court Chief Judge, to become naturalized citizens on Sept. 9, 2012, in an outdoor ceremony on the roof of the Sherman Adams Building.

Simon Thomson, special assistant in the Office of Sen. Kel-ly Ayotte, read her statement, in which she recalled riding her bike up the Auto Road some years ago. Thomson reminisced about hiking up the Rock Pile with his grandparents, former Gov. Meldrim and Gale Thompson, when he was seven years old. His grandfather, then in his 70s who did not have any trou-ble reaching the peak, told him that he was lucky that his first 4,000-footer of the state’s 48 was the highest.

Graff explained the value of the Mount Washington Com-mission, which he pointed out, represents commercial interests, public interests, the nearly 800,000-acre WMNF that surrounds the Park, and the more than 20 federal and state agencies that maintain important on-site communications equipment.

The 300,000 people who now reach the summit every year make it essential that Commission members work together to come up with a well-thought-out 10-year plan to handle the ev-er-increasing crowds, and all the challenges that their presence requires.

Graff noted that the AMC Lakes of the Clouds Hut — “a very special place” — celebrates its 100th birthday next year in 2015.

Middleton pointed out that the Mt. Washington Commission

is an exemplary public-private partnership that was greatly in-fluenced by the experience, energy and know-how of its first chairman, former Gov. Sherman Adams who had served for six years as President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s powerful Chief of Staff.

Bryce pointed out that the State Parks system operates under a state law : “It is the intent of the general court that a com-prehensive state park system shall be developed, operated, and maintained to achieve the following purposes in order of the following priority: (I) To protect and preserve unusual scenic, scientific, historical, recreational, and natural areas within the state; (II) To continually provide such additional park areas and facilities as may be necessary to meet the recreational needs of the citizens of all regions of the state; (III) To make these areas accessible to the public for recreational, education, scientific, and other uses consistent with their protection and preserva-tion; and (IV) To encourage and support tourism and related economic activity within the state.”

But, Bryce explained, state Park Directors from across the na-tion understand that Parks are the place people create their best memories.

He read a passage from Peter Randall’s book, “Mount Wash-ington: A Guide and Short History,” copyrighted in 1974 with an foreword written by Sherman Adams. “Speaking for myself,” Adams wrote, “the first ascent in the dead of winter up the head-

Looking to the future and shared experiences, Bryce asked rhetorically: “What stories do we want to have told and how will it happen?”

Dr. Catherine Amidon, founding director of the Museum of the White Mountains, urged those on hand to enjoy the current exhibition, “Beyond Granite: the Geology of Adventure,” con-ceived and organized by curator Sarah Garlick, a New Hamp-shire-based writer and science educator.

Jim Surette of Granite Films created a short video, available both in the Museum and online, as well as ultra-high resolution panoramic photographs, called GigaPans (http://gigapan.com), of the east side of Mt. Washington and the Presidential Range, Cannon Cliff, and Franconia Ridge. The Gigapan interactive touch-screen kiosk was built in partnership with Marti Louw from the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Learning in Out-of-School Environments and Chris Bartley from the CREATE Lab at Carnegie Mellon University.

This exhibit will remain in place until March 8, 2015; admis-sion to the Museum at 34 Highland Street is free and open to the public for self-guided tours during regular hours, available at its website: plymouth.edu/museum-of-the-white-mountains.

Two North Country propertiesnamed to latest “Seven to Save” list - By Edith Tucker

HistoryTwo of the seven properties on the recently released statewide

“Seven to Save” list, designed to highlight critical preservation needs and opportunities across New Hampshire, are located in Coös County: Brown Company House in Berlin and the Poore Family Farm in Stewartstown, both held by nonprofits that are struggling to maintain them without adequate resources.

The Brown Company House on Route 16 is “believed to be the oldest wood frame building in the City and a key part of the history of mills and logging in the Berlin; needed repairs are a big challenge for non-profit owner Tri-County CAP,” the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance points out.

“Constructed in 1853, the Brown Company House is a well-known landmark in Berlin and is believed to be one of the City’s oldest wood-framed dwellings, “ said Tri-County CAP’s Grants

Coordinator Sandra Patrick. “Built to accommodate an increased volume of workers and laborers of the sawmill across the street, over the years it housed project managers, out-of-town manag-ers, dignitaries, sales reps, business partners, and members of the Brown family. Furthermore, it is the only surviving structure built by the original company, H. Winslow & Company.

“We’re thrilled to have this historic building selected by the NH Preservation Alliance for its 2014 ‘Seven to Save’ list. Re-turning the Brown Company House to its former grandeur will be a challenge; however, the resources and attention we hope to gain from this selection will gain greater public awareness to help restore this historical building,” Patrick said. Thank you NH Preservation Alliance, Linda Upham-Bornstein, Richard Huot, and all those who have helped to keep the memory of Berlin’s

world-famous pulp and paper indus-try and its rich history alive. Support-ers, partners, and proposals are wel-come to help rescue and revive the Brown Company House.”

The Poore Family Farm on the Hollow Road (Route 145) “needs more support to preserve its early house and barn and fulfill its poten-tial as a place to learn about life on a farm without electricity, plumbing, or other modern conveniences,” the Alliance concludes.“

Executive director Richard “Rick” Johnsen of the Poore Family Foun-dation for North Country Conser-vancy said, “The Foundation’s Board of Directors and I are very proud to receive the New Hampshire Preser-vation Alliance designation as one of the ‘Seven to Save’ for 2014. We hope this will bring attention to the Poore Family Homestead Historic Farm Museum and our needs to pre-serve and display this North Country gem.

What the Alliance is calling its “bonus 8th listing” — historic family-owned farms and agricultural landscapes across the state — includes Coös County: “The trend of dramatic loss in cultivat-ed acreage and challenges facing family farms will require strong creative efforts to help maintain historic buildings and tradition-al landscapes throughout the state.”

According to “Seven to Save” chair Hunter Ulf, “’Seven to Save’ recognizes the value of saving and reviving historic places that are important to local communities as well as the state’s identi-ty and economic vitality.

Other listings include the Watson Academy in Epping, the Hill-Lassonde in Manchester opposite Bronstein Park, Kimball Lake Cabins in Hopkinton, Bradford Town Hall and Washington Meetinghouse-Town Hall.

The mission of the non-profit New Hampshire Preservation Alliance ([email protected]) is to strengthen commu-nities and stimulate local economies by encouraging the protec-tion and revival of historic buildings and places. “Since 2006, when the ‘Seven to Save’ program began, over 30 properties have moved from ‘threatened’ to ‘saved’ or out of danger,” according to an Alliance press release. “Major successes include Pandora Mill in Manchester, the restored Acworth Meetinghouse, and the Mill Pond Dam in Durham. Some past listees, like the Balsams Grand Hotel in Dixville and the Gas Holder in Concord, still have uncertain futures.

New restaurant offers home cooking with all the ‘Country Fixin’s’ - By Edith Tucker

Dining

Anew restaurant on Route 3 — Country Fixin’s — held its “soft” opening on Halloween.

It’s been five years since Everybody’s Place Family Restaurant closed in the building owned by Liz and John Padula, formerly of Lancaster who now live in Florida.

Bill Faulkner of North Reading, Mass., who said he hopes to move to the North Country with his large family, recently leased the building. He and his son Cody, plus his foster son Anthony Lewis, explained that it had taken about a month to clean up, paint, prepare and permit the restaurant.

On opening day, Ashley King of Groveton worked as a wait-ress.

The eatery has already announced its hours: Thursday through Saturday, 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Sunday, 5 a.m. to 2 p.m., closed on Mondays, and on Tuesday and Wednesday, 5 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“There’s free WiFi and a kids’ menu, fresh muffins cooked daily, and a senior discount of 10 percent,” Faulkner said. “We serve breakfast all day. And we also offer take-out

(636-1975).”Faulkner explained that he had previously been successful

in the restaurant business in the Bay State and was looking to match that success.

He urged people to come on in and try out the new menu.
