BELMONT — Hundredsof people came out to “Rockthe Block” all day and nightlast Saturday, as Belmont res-idents, old and new, celebrat-ed the spirit and heritage ofthe “Best Town by a DamSite” in an all day festival offun, games, crafts, music andfood. Let’s not forget the food.

“It’s been a busy day, butit’s been great,” said Select-man Ron Cormier midwaythrough the festivities.

Beginning in the earlymorning, 65 runners took tothe road for the 43rd AnnualOld Home Day 10-Mile RoadRace, each hoping to set anew record. The men’srecord holder is Scott Clark,who in 1987 ran the coursewith a time of 53:31, and Ter-ry Hersh leads the pace witha women’s record of 1:03:35,set in 1989.

While no records werebroken this year, runners

from all over New Hamp-shire and beyond who travelto Belmont for the sanctionedcompetition still put in im-pressive times for a tropicalsummer day when heat andhumidity soared.

Topping the field for themen was Colton Ham, 17, ofWebster (1:02:55), former Bel-mont resident Ernest Brake,50, now from North Sutton(1:03:50), and BHS graduateTim Gurshin, 19, of Canter-bury (1:04:36).

For the women, 17-year oldMcKenzie Haney ofBoscawen led the way(1:11:51), followed by JenniferLatham, 43, of Yorktown(1:20:19) and Barbara Malm,41, of Moultonborough(1:24:19).

Jovially bringing up therear for this year’s race wasRoy Roberts of Belmont, whomanaged to catch his breathin time to take the micro-phone and comment on the


TILTON — Student disci-plinary measures are a largepart of the job description foran assistant principal, andfor Andrew Brauch, who re-cently took over the job atWinnisquam Regional HighSchool, they require a differ-ent approach.

Brauch believes that thebest solution is often simplyinteracting with a student sounderlying causes may bediscovered, and thereby helpthe individual more.

By getting to know the stu-dents, he said, administra-tors, teachers and staff canprovide the best opportuni-ties to educate each child attheir highest level and helpthem make good choices intheir lives.

“If you look at attendancerecords, some of the most dif-ficult kids are in school everyday. There’s a reason for that.I think kids are often misun-derstood, and there is nosuch thing as a bad kid,”Brauch said.

He himself has been a stu-dent for many years, coming

to WRHS with a degree in so-ciology and a minor in busi-ness administration from theUniversity of New Hamp-shire. From there, Brauchwent on to earn a Master’sdegree in physical educationthrough studies at KeeneState College and PlymouthState University. After teach-ing physical education atMount Prospect Academyfor one year, Brauch decidedto then return to school oncemore, where he received an-other degree in special edu-cation. During that time, hewas also Plymouth State Uni-versity’s head coach formen’s lacrosse for five years.

Brauch received his certi-fication for a principal’s po-sition last year, and recentlycompleted his Certificate ofAdvanced Graduate Studies.

With all of these achieve-ments already on his resume,it may come as a surprise tosome to learn this multi-task-ing, well-educated educatoris only in his mid-30’s.

All that said, this indus-trious new administratorhas now spent his summer

Alex and Zachary traveled from New Milton, Conn. with their mom, Nanette (Fournier) Pelletier, to take part in Old Home Day activities in Belmontlast Saturday.

TILTON — With any luck,the bridge over Pine Street inTilton, which has been an on-going source of contentionbetween selectmen, engi-neers and contractors sinceearly spring, will be back inuse for motorized trafficagain soon.

Meeting at the bridge it-self last Thursday evening,representatives of HoldenEngineering, Hiltz Construc-tion, Michie Corporation andall five Tilton selectmenlooked over the faults town

officials had found with theproject, and discussed op-tions on how to complete thejob to everyone’s satisfac-tion.

During the January in-stallation of the box culvertand wing walls, some of theconcrete portions werechipped by chains and heavyequipment needed to set thenearly 20,000-pound sectionsof the bridge. Erosion issueswere also discussed, andoverall, selectmen were nothappy with the results of the$150,000 project.

Earlier this spring, board

member Katherine Dawsonquestioned the strength anddurability of any patch workproposed by engineers andsubcontractors to correctstructural damage to the newbridge. At that time, Michierepresentative Steve Gardproposed that his companycould create a concrete collarto be placed along the inletside of the bridge to seal offany cracks in the headwalland culvert box.

“This was a design thatwas to meet our approval,and will not get it,” said se-lect board Chairman Pat

Consentino last week.In order to set the collar, it

would have to be bolted towing walls of the structureto secure it, and the fear ofthe board was it would even-tually crack.

“This is New Hampshire.Frost moves the ground,”said Dawson.

Gathering on site lastweek, the group collectivelytook a close look at damage tothe pieces already placed inParker Brook. After confer-ring with Holden Engineer-ing, Gard, and Jeff Hiltz of

WALK THIS WAY By Donna Rhodes ■ [email protected]

Franklin Falls Recreation AreaWow. I really have to start

by just saying, “Wow.”I wrote a winter column

about walking along the topof the Franklin Falls Dam,but I confess I’ve been igno-rant to the recreation oppor-tunities available through-out the acres of land sur-rounding the river and dam,which is under the jurisdic-tion of the U.S. Army Corpsof Engineers. How could Ihave missed this over thepast few years? Thank you,Irene, for sending me a map!

Grover and I decided itwas time to take that mapand see what we missed dur-ing our walk, when snowwas still on the ground.Looking for the trails, I wasa bit misled at first, thinkingI could access the northernportion of the trails along aside road just outside San-bornton. When I found Icouldn’t, I drove on to theVisitors Center at the damentrance, and was steered inthe right direction by somevery helpful park rangers.

It was almost 2:30 by then,and the center and the accessroad is closed at 3:30 p.m., sowe drove back out to themain parking lot off Route127. From there, we wereable to begin our walk alonga gravel path heading toColeman Road, a dirt accessroad for official vehicles on-ly, and the trailhead for thearea.

We actually took a looproad above Coleman Road,but the two eventually join,and we headed into the coolwoods on a perfect summerday. The road is wide, andtherefore easy to walk along.It, in itself, makes for a greatshort jaunt.

Due to the midday heat, Idecided to stick to the wood-ed ridge, rather than themore open flood plain of thePemigewasset River as wetried to get a feel for all thearea had to offer. There are a

lot of unmarked side trailsveering off of it, but withmap in hand, we stayed thecourse with Moose Gully onmy mind. It wasn’t long be-fore we came upon the signfor the trail we sought.

Moose Gully was all Icould hope for. Narrow butwell marked, we meanderedalong the twisting path, en-joying the beautiful youngforest. Well, I say “enjoyed,”but there were times whenGrover yanked my arm for asecond sniff of whatever itis dogs smell in the woods,which wasn‘t always pleas-ant for me. Seeing no tracksor other animal signs,I couldonly wonder. He enjoyed it,though, and I learned to bepatient, with only an occa-sional tug on the leash to getmoving once more.

While the trail mean-dered the hilltops, it eventu-ally lived up to its name witha dip down through a smallgully. It wasn’t a major gul-ley by any means, however.We continued on throughthe forest until we came toan intersection indicating ashortcut to the Pine SnakeTrail, which would, in turn,intersect with the MiddleTrail. It sounded like a goodplan, since Moose Gulleyseemed to dip dramaticallydownhill from that point.

Soon, we reached MiddleTrail, where things widenedback out a bit and offeredplenty of other trails to ex-plore. Time was not on ourside once more, so we onlytook quick jaunts along thetop of a few of these intrigu-ing paths before returningto Middle Trail.

In time, we found our-selves back to the far end ofColeman Road, and wan-dered reluctantly back to-ward the parking lot, stillsome distance away. Alongthe road, Grover was happyto find a pond for a quickdrink and a dip as he waded

into the shallow water. Allaround, Indian Pipe pokedup through the forest floor,along with other interestingmoss and lichens growingbeneath the sturdy oakcanopy. It was very pleasant,to say the least.

The only other person wemet was near the parking lot,where a woman walking herdogs stopped to chat for a mo-ment, saying she and herpets frequented the area.

“It’s a fantastic place toget out for a walk. We love ithere,” she said, before duck-ing down an unmarked sidetrail, with which she was ob-viously very familiar.

Lucky her! I would love toknow those trails as shedoes.

I can’t point out one spe-cific thing that makes theFranklin Falls RecreationArea terrific. It’s just terrif-ic because it’s available yearround for walking and bik-ing, snowshoeing, snowmo-biling, cross country skiing,and whatever other methodspeople choose to recreate inthis beautiful floodplain andwoodlands. It’s peaceful, re-laxing, pretty, well-main-tained, and readily accessi-ble. I could easily be a “fre-quent flyer” at this jewel inthe Pemi River Valley. I thinkGrover really wants to checkout the rest of the PineSnake Trail while I have myeye on Cellar Hole Trail,Chicken Ravine and BeeTrail. And then there’s allthose unmarked mysterioustrails to explore…

Franklin Dam RecreationArea is three miles south ofExit 22 on I-93, off Route 127,between Franklin and San-bornton. Bring a lunch andplan a day around it. Youwon’t be disappointed!

Maps are recommended,and can be found at the Visi-tors Center or by “Googling”Franklin Falls Dam Recre-ation Area on the Internet.

Main Street program folding, but vision remains intactBY DONNA [email protected]

TILTON — There wassome bad news, some goodnews and some great newsfrom Tilton Main Street Pro-gram board member VincentParatore when he met withselectmen last week.

Paratore told selectmenthe membership of the TM-SP had waned, and the groupmight eventually disband.

With the group havingbeen developed to help pro-mote business in the down-town area of Tilton, thisnews was disheartening toselectmen, and Paratore fol-lowed it up with a little more

bad news, but what turnedout to be whole lot of goodnews, too.

Each year, TMSP has or-ganized and run communityevents, most notably the pop-ular Summer Fair and win-ter Holiday Parade and fire-works. This year, the grouphad decided it would not useits funds for organizingevents, and had approachedthe Parks Commission abouttaking the reins for the twomajor community celebra-tions. The commissioners, hesaid, were amenable to or-ganizing the Holiday Parade,and TMSP members wouldhelp them in the transition

this year.“The commission has also

agreed to look at the SummerFair event to see if it fits withthe commission’s 2010plans,” Paratore read from aprepared statement fromTMSP.

TMSP recognized manywould be disappointed therewould be no fair this year, buthoped it will be revived in thefuture. Monies the organiza-tion had already collectedfrom vendors for this year’sfair will be returned.

The news got better fromthere, though, as Paratorelaid out plans TMSP had forthe funds currently held by

their 501(c) 3 organization.“Before we do disband the

program, we want to make alasting impact on the townwith our resources, time andmoney. Maybe that would re-new interest in the MainStreet Program, and some-one will pick up the torch andcarry on with it,” he said.

What the organizationproposed to selectmen wasthe concept of a River Walkthrough downtown, fromVest Pocket Park at the lights,back toward the center oftown. Paratore presentedthem with a conceptual mapof downtown Tilton that TM-SP had created with plannersand engineers several yearsago where such a walk hadbeen designed.

“The river is what we have(as an asset to the town), andwe’d like to make it accessi-ble and visible,” said Para-tore.

While the town owns someportions of land along theWinnipesaukee River, Para-tore said he felt the towncould work with other

landowners along the pro-posed walkway to gain the ac-cess needed behind theirbuildings and properties.

According to the design,part of the walk would bealong the river, banking it-self, while a few portionswould need a boardwalk con-structed over the water. In-cluded in their design was asmall gazebo where peoplecould sit and enjoy the riverview and the downtown area.

“We think this could getpeople excited about down-town Tilton again,” Paratoresaid.

TMSP has approximately$12,000 in its account, andParatore said he believed theriver walk would cost ap-proximately $20,000 to con-struct with volunteer partic-ipation. He told selectmenhis organization was willingto do fundraising in order toget the rest of the money thatwould be required.

Selectmen were thrilledwith the proposal, and askedto adopt the concept as a com-munity improvement project

if TMSP would work withthem and assist in raising thefunds.

“I think it’s an excitingproject. CIP monies are com-ing up for availability in Sep-tember 2011 through 2013 forimprovements, and we mightbe able to jump in on that,too,” said board ChairmanPat Consentino.

Paratore suggested a com-mittee be formed to work onfunding, permits and othersteps needed to further theproject along. Selectmenagreed to be a part of thecommittee and Paratore saidhe would also “tap people inthe area for their expertise”to see if they would be inter-ested in participating.

The select board made amotion to adopt the projectand move forward with theplans as presented by TMSP.It was unanimously ap-proved and Paratore wasasked to come back to theboard with ideas and othercommittee members whenhe was ready.

Belmont Police to conductsobriety checkpoint

BELMONT - As a result ofthe increasing incidents ofdrinking and driving, the Bel-mont Police Department, incooperation with the North-field Police Department, hasestablished a Regional DWITask Force and has appliedfor, and was granted, a Supe-rior Court Petition to conducta Sobriety Checkpoint. The“Sobriety Checkpoint” is themost effective method of de-tecting and apprehending theimpaired operator.

The program, approved bythe NH Highway SafetyAgency and the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Ad-ministration, provides feder-

al highway safety funds tosupport these checkpoints,which will be conducted inBelmont.

A review of records hasshown that the use of alcoholby individuals who operatormotor vehicles has resultedin an alarming number ofdeaths and personal injuryaccidents. Therefore, in an ef-fort to maintain safe roads inBelmont, we again want to re-mind both our residents andour visitors to the region, thatthe Regional DWI Task Forcewill be conducting a SobrietyCheckpoint in the Belmontarea on the week of Aug. 7 –Aug.13.

The purpose of the Sobri-ety Checkpoint is to detectand apprehend the impaireddriver. Belmont Police ChiefVinnie Baiocchetti of the Bel-mont Police Department,Chief Robert Cormier of theTilton Police Department andChief Steve Adams of theNorthfield Police Depart-ment have taken an aggres-sive stance to prevent personsfrom driving when intoxicat-ed. New Hampshire has someof the most aggressive laws inthe country to fight the intox-icated driver and the law en-forcement community willuse those tools to their full ex-tent.

GUEST COMMENTARY■

PET OF THE WEEK MICKEY MOUSEMickey Mouse should be

showcased as a felinemakeover, illustrating howdecrepit he looked upon ar-rival back in March of thisyear, and how handsome heis now.

Residents were com-plaining about a stray cat;nobody cared enough to of-fer him a home — just upsethe was wandering aroundtheir neighborhood…so,the local Animal Control of-ficer laid a trap, and poorMickey walked right into it.Arrested for vagrancy, hewas transported to NewHampshire Humane Soci-ety in quite the sorry state:filthy dirty, clumps of oil onhis fur, all beaten up by oth-er, stronger cats, and prac-

tically starving.It’s taken a few months to

fix him up, but now MickeyMouse resides right in thelobby of the shelter, staringwistfully at our reception-ist every day. He’s a solid 11pounds now, brilliant whiteand tabby coat, and readyfor a home.

Considering all MickeyMouse has endured, hewould love a home where hecould be the main cat!

Please visit MickeyMouse…shelter is openTuesday, Thursday and Fri-day, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Sat-urday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Closedto the public Sunday, Mon-day and Wednesday. Checkwww.nhhumane.org for de-tails.

Editor’s note: The follow-ing guest commentary wassubmitted by Terry Lewis ofSanbornton.

The last couple of yearshave really made clear thedivide that has been grow-ing in our country. There isan ever-widening gap be-tween two visions the citi-zens have of the future ofAmerica. These two visionscan be summed up as “TheReality” vision, and what Icall the “False Utopia” vi-sion.

In false utopia, “green en-ergy” is abundant, cheap,and would replace oil if on-ly the government would getfully behind it, and if eviloil companies would get lob-byists out of Washington.

In reality, there is nosource of green energy thatcan replace oil any time inthe near future. All sourcesof green energy are ineffi-cient, expensive and im-practical. Ethanol costsmore energy to producethan it provides when it isburned. Solar panels cannotcollect anywhere nearenough energy to run a city.Windmills are inconsistentsources of power, and no onewants them in their backyard. In reality, if any ofthese sources of energywere practical, the “Evil OilCompanies” would have got-ten into those businesses be-cause it would be profitable.The truth is that other thannuclear power (which utopi-ans oppose), there is not areplacement for oil or coalthat does not drive the costof energy to the point whereit would stop the economy.

In false utopia, car com-panies produce electric carsthat people gladly buy to re-duce oil consumption andreduce greenhouse emis-sions.

In reality, electric carscan only go 40 miles betweencharges, cost $40,000 each,and almost nobody wantsthem. In reality, when youcharge an electric car, theelectricity is generatedmostly by coal fired electricplants—so the more electriccars we have, the more elec-tricity is used, and the morecoal we burn. Nearly 60 per-cent of the electricity in theUnited States is produced bycoal fired plants. So in real-ity, electric cars are mostlycoal-powered cars. Butsomehow, in false utopia,they make people feel goodabout themselves, as if theyare doing the planet a favor.

In false utopia, govern-ment spending on every-

thing is good, and cuttinggovernment spending is eviland irresponsible. In falseutopia, deficits don’t matter,and if we run out of money,we simply raise the debtceiling and accumulatemore debt. In false utopia, itis a crisis if we don’t raisethe debt ceiling and borrowmore money.

In reality, raising the debtceiling without fixing any ofthe spending in our budgetcauses a credit rating down-grade, just like it would ifyou kept running up debt inyour household budget. Inthe real world, it is a crisisif we continue spending andrunning up debt.

In false utopia, holding asign at a parade or outside abuilding is making a differ-ence.

In the real world, givingto a local charity or churchor volunteering and actual-ly doing things to help oth-ers makes a difference. Inthe real world, working at asoup kitchen or helping afamily in need makes a dif-ference. Holding a sign justcreates another piece oftrash that eventually endsup in the city dump.

In false utopia, spendingon social programs solvesour social problems, andmakes the world a betterplace.

In reality, these programshave no effect on the socie-tal ills they are targeted tosolve. We have spent a tril-lion dollars on the war onpoverty social programs.Poverty levels have notchanged. We have spent bil-lions on the war on drugs;drug usage remains aboutthe same. We continually in-crease spending on publiceducation, and test scores godown.

False utopians claim thatwe are simply not spendingenough. In reality, spendingdoes not correlate with re-sults. Government is simplynot good at conceiving,building, and implementingprograms. In government,there is no incentive to pro-duce results. If governmentwas held to the same stan-dards as business, these gov-ernment programs (busi-ness units) would have beenclosed down long ago.

It is time for all of us towake up and realize thatutopia does not exist. We allneed to live in the real world,where results matter, factsinform our decisions, andwhere we stop doing thesame thing over and overwhile expecting different re-sults.

Remember HiroshimaTo the Editor:

On Sunday, called togeth-er by N.H. Peace Action, asmall gathering on the banksof the Merrimack in Con-cord remembered Hiroshimaand Nagasaki atomic bombvictims.

We read 80-year-oldHshizume Bun’s words, whatshe calls “Appeal ofHshizume Bun, A-Bomb Sur-vivor of Hiroshima, to thePeople of Japan and the Peo-ple of the World, March 29,2011.”

She wrote, responding to

the “Great Eastern JapanEarthquake” of March 11: “Iwas in the midst of writingabout the radiation exposurewrought by the atomic bomb-ing of 66 years ago, and aboutthe lives of Hiroshima citi-zens before and after theblast.” And, “I was deeplypained by the accident in-volving Fukushima nuclearplant….” She worries for theradiation damage done tochildren and their growth.

Her several pages of writ-ing conclude with: “Radia-tion respects no border. To

save our children, the futureof our species, I call on thepeople of Japan, and the peo-ple of the world, to stand to-gether and oppose the con-tinuation of nuclear energy.”

Our banner read: ‘NoMore Hiroshimas! No MoreFukushimas!’ We placedflowers in the current of theriver, reading aloud thenames and ages and occupa-tions of atomic bomb vic-tims.

One among us, Frank, anelderly military vet whoneeded steadying along the

bank’s edge, lamented, “Wehave never apologized forwhat we did, for that de-struction and the madnesswe started.”

Another, Sally, a W.A.C. inEgypt when we dropped thebomb, said, “We cheered. Wesaw only the immediate re-lief from more war. We didn’tsee what we started.”

The consequences of politicsTo the Editor:

Sen. MConnell made itperfectly clear when he an-nounced in a sinister tone,"President Obama will be aone-term President."

He who votes for subsidiesfor off shore companies, andfor himself a pay raise.

An invitation to the TeaParty, those ladies with their

fists shaking looked just likethe Gestapo women guardswe were shown in 1945movies.

The national debt is wor-risome; will the Republicansbe willing to cut $3.075 billionto Israel in 2012? Their S&Pbond rating hasn't dropped,as it has in the USA.

Why do Sen. Orin Hatch

and Rep. Cantor and theirleadership appear to enjoywatching the country strug-gle?

As for the next generation,my concern is for my owngrandchildren,who will have

to live in a society that hasbeen carefully taught deceitand hatred.

That $3 billion could buy

hay for the ranchers in Texasand other drought-wastedstates. Maybe beef wouldn'tdouble in price next winter.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR■

I seem to have a lot of is-sues with bugs lately. Firstit’s slugs (well, I’m not surethat a slug really qualifiesas a bug, but you get theidea), then it was thoseweird red ladybug typeswith the long black legs thatdecimated my lilies, the hor-nets are back in the bulk-head, I’ve had an earwig ortwo in the bathtub, andwhen I went up to my Dad’scamp, there were three littlepiles of sawdust under oneof the outside walls from asmall ant invasion. Andnow, having gotten backfrom my parents’ house, I’mwondering about fruit flies.

Where do fruit flies comefrom? My Dad loves ba-nanas, so there are alwayssome ripening at theirhouse, and there alwaysseem to be a few fruit fliesfloating around — not a lot,but a few.

My parents live in a hugesenior citizen apartmentcomplex on the second floor.I refuse to believe the fruitflies somehow sniff out thebananas two floors up fromout in the parking lot, waitfor someone to let them inthe front doors, hang out inthe foyer until someonewith a security key buzzesthem through, fly through

the elevator doors, unerr-ingly fly out at the secondfloor, go down two hallwaysand fetch up at 208 waitingfor my parents to open thedoor so they can fly throughand land on the bananas.And yet there they are.

I suppose it’s possible inthe summer that they’retiny enough to get throughthe screens, but does thismean they’re patrolling allopen windows, sniffing forbananas? And in the winter,the windows are never open,and yet there are the flies. Isuppose it could be two fruitflies who somehow did man-age to find their way into theapartment, and have justbeen living there ever since,but somehow, I don’t thinkso.

I, on the other hand, al-most always have a bananastuck to the top of my re-

frigerator because I forgot itwas up there out of mysight, so thoroughly flat-tened and brown that a selfrespecting banana breadwould turn its nose up at it,and I don’t have fruit flies;possibly the only bug issue Idon‘t have. With the state ofthe poor banana by the timeI do notice it, I would de-serve to have a swarm ofthem, but nary a fly; just aflattened, limp banana. Andif a fly wanted to get in myhouse, there would be noproblem. I’m in and out thefront door a dozen times aday. Moths get in, mosqui-toes get in, sometimes one ofthose big beetles that are al-ways hurling themselvesagainst the screens get in,but never a fruit fly.

So not only do I wonderhow fruit flies manage tobreak into my parents’apartment on a regular ba-sis; I wonder why they avoidme like the plague. Not thatI want them, but what’s upwith that? And are they eat-ing the fruit?

Naturally, I went toGoogle to check it out. Howon earth we ever managedto survive by pokingthrough encyclopedias tofind the answers to our ques-tions when I was a kid, I’ll

never know.Fruit flies are attracted to

the yeast in fermentingfruit, as it turns out (andlike beer for the same rea-son, although the name“beer fly” doesn‘t seem tohave stuck), and can bebrought into the house onthe fruit. That would ex-plain fruit flies at my par-ents’. One or two cruising inwith the groceries makessense, although it’s a littledisturbing to think that hap-pens on a regular basis. Al-so turns out they do have anextremely good sense ofsmell, and actually are tinyenough to fit throughscreens and reproduce at anincredibly fast pace, whichis how a few fruit flies canbecome a swarm prettyquickly. Fortunately, they al-so have an incredibly shortlife span (the fruit fliesmight not agree with me onthis point), and if you re-move the food source, theydie out pretty quickly.

I don’t know if I’ll haveany more bug issues thissummer; I hope not. I hesi-tate to think what it mightbe if I do. I don‘t know whatmight be left. So far, I’vebeen spared a plague of lo-custs, but the summer isyoung.

The mystery of fruit flies

OPINION A5■


We’d been cir-cling themountainfor much ofthe day, like

a fox circling a porcupine forthe kill. “The mountain,” ofcourse, was Mount Washing-ton, which dominates theNorth Country’s topographyand, for lovers of the territo-ry, dwells deep in the mind.

The program for the daywas a truck-tour from Cole-brook to Groveton,down LostNation Road to North Road toJefferson, and on to Old Cher-ry Mountain Road to Route302 in Twin Mountain. Be-yond that, we knew not what,which is the beauty of atruck-tour.

But for much of the trip,we could see Mount Wash-ington---or not. As those whoknow and love the mountainwell know, more often thannot, the 6,288-foot summit isin fog or clouds or rain orsnow, or some combinationof these. Only on a relativelyfew days — some say an av-erage of 30 summertime daysa year — is the mountaintoptotally unobscured, and theview far and clear.

I’ve climbed the mountain

several times, and been up onthe Cog and the Auto Roadmany times, often for work(taking monthly progressphotos when Harvey Con-struction was building thenew summit facilities, for in-stance), but Nancee had nev-er been up the road, some-thing we thought would befun to rectify.

“Well, we‘ll be circling themountain,so let’s keep an eyeout,” I said.

When the peak first camewithin our sight, it was total-ly obscured by heavy clouds.As we reached an open pointon Cherry Mountain Road,ditto. “Looks like no trip upthere today,” we said, sort ofin unison.

But when we passed theMount Washington Hotel, itlooked like things werebreaking up, and by the timewe’d gone down throughCrawford Notch and madethe turn back north on Route16 in Bartlett, the weatherhad totally changed (big sur-prise, huh?), and the summitwas clear.

“Let’s go,” I said, and weheaded for the MountainWashington Road, said to bethe oldest tourist attractionin the country.

To go through the AutoRoad gate from Route 16 atthe foot of the mountain atGlen, you hand over $25 forvehicle and driver plus $8 peradult passenger and $6 foryoungsters five to 12 (kidsfour and under ride free), andin my book, it’s well worth it,especially if it’s one of thosedays when the summit isclear. With your ticket, youget a self-guiding cassette (inEnglish, French or German)that does a nice job of ex-plaining the rules of the roadand the sights you’ll see, and

the Auto Road’s colorful his-tory and present annualevents.

The decade leading up tothe Civil War was a time ofgreat expansion and entre-preneurism, and in 1853, thestate Legislature granted acharter for the

auto road company. Workcommenced, but in 1856, themoney ran out. Backersformed a new company,which held the grand open-ing of the 7.6-mile road onAug. 8, 1861. Traffic was onfoot or horseback or stage un-til 1899, when Feelan Stanleyand his Stanley Steamermade the first ascent by mo-torized vehicle. Today,around 45,000 vehicles a yearmake the trip.

It is not a trip for the faint-hearted. Drivers accustomedto flat places and freewayscan be forgiven for maintain-ing a death grip on the steer-ing wheel. Passengers withan unusually strong fear ofheights might want to keeplooking at the mountainsideand not out into the abyss be-low.

But the road is plenty wideenough for two vehicles, andis thoughtfully and carefully

and solidly constructed andmaintained, and there havebeen very few accidents overthe years, hardly any of themserious.

I had a conversation aboutthis with general managerHowie Wemyss, who’s beenwith the company for 24years, and has helped shep-herd it through changingtimes and challenges and in-to new opportunities todayand beyond.

My theory on the lack ofmishaps, I offered, is thatdrivers are totally focused onwhat they’re doing becauseof heights and curves andsuch, meaning that they‘rebasically scared half todeath.

Right, Howie said. “Peopledo what they’ve forgotten todo, which is pay attention totheir driving,” he said good-naturedly, which means re-turning to being extremelydexterous with brake, accel-erator and steering wheel.Think “All systems on fullalert,” a great deterrent to ac-cidents.

The experience and viewat the summit are well worththe acclimatization to the Au-to Road, which in truth is not

that tough at all. On a clearday you can see, as the songgoes, forever, there is the oldstone Tip Top House to visit,and the State Park buildingwith its exhibits and foodconcession. Weather permit-ting, or even whether not, it’sa fun thing to do.

The trip down offeredstandout views we had notbeen able to take in on theway up, and just as we turnedonto Route 16 for the drive

home, we looked back at thesummit, and sure enough,the clouds had rolled in.

Land Trust receives grantto rehab properties

REGION — Laconia AreaCommunity Land Trust (LA-CLT) has received a $300,817Capital Funding for Rehabil-itation of Affordable Hous-ing (CFRAH) Grant fromNeighborWorks® America.

LACLT is one of 115NeighborWorks® organiza-tions across the nation to re-ceive $34.9 million in CFRAHgrants to rehabilitate or fi-nance the rehabilitation ofaffordable housing.

LACLT will be rehabbingsome of the scattered-site du-plexes throughout Laconiathat were first rehabbedmore than 15 years ago. Im-provements will include newroofs, energy efficient boil-ers, and new kitchen cabi-nets, counters, appliances,and flooring.

Funds will also be used toimplement renewable ener-gy at LACLT’s most recentlycompleted affordable hous-ing development, LochmereMeadows in Tilton.Solar sys-tems will be installed to heatthe hot water and provide forcommon area electric use. Itis estimated that the hot wa-ter system will save a total of988 gallons of propane eachyear, or approximately $3,500based on today’s propaneprices. The array of photo-voltaic panels is projected toproduce 50,400 KWH per year(92 percent-100 percent of thecommon area electric needs)for projected annual savingsof $8,263.68 based on today’srates. The 28 units atLochmere Meadows are al-ready EnergyStar certifiedhomes. The solar systemswill be installed by the Ply-mouth Area Renewable En-ergy Initiative.

LACLT Executive Direc-tor Linda Harvey states, “Weare delighted to have wonthis funding in a nationalcompetition. Bringing inthese dollars allows us tostretch and save our own dol-lars in the upgrades and al-lows us to invest in the solarenergy that we would nothave done otherwise.”

Harvey noted that LACLTalso won this funding lastyear. “Between the twoawards, LACLT will have in-vested well over a half a mil-lion dollars in the steward-ship of the properties and in-to the local economy. We uselocal companies for the laborand supplies for these jobs,”she said.

The Capital Funding forthe Rehabilitation of Afford-able Housing (CFRAH)

grants enable LACLT andother local small- and medi-um-size nonprofit business-es to develop, or continue tofund:

• Revolving loanfunds for rehabilitation lend-ing for owner-occupied prop-erty;

• Rehab of residentialrental housing currentlyowned by local Neighbor-Works® organizations;

• Rehab of residentialrental housing that is newlyacquired or will be acquiredby local NeighborWorks® or-ganizations;

• Rehab of single fam-ily homes that will be ac-quired or have been recentlyacquired by local Neighbor-Works® organizations andwill be sold to homeowners.

In addition to enablingnonprofit small businessesto acquire and rehab proper-ties, the $35 million in grantfunding will also jump startlocal economies through thecreation of more than 1,000jobs, and produce in excessof $300 million in economicactivity.

About the Capital Fund-ing for the Rehabilitation ofAffordable Housing Grants

SANDWICH — Advice tothe Players brought WilliamShakespeare's “A Mid-Sum-mer Night's Dream” to life atthe Sandwich Fairgroundsstage Friday, Aug. 5 for theirtenth annual Sandwich OldHome Week production.

“The world needs moreShakespeare,” proclaimedMark Woollett, Advice to thePlayers’ Director. “DoingShakespeare is so differentthan most modern produc-tions. It’s a theatricalevent.”

According to Woollett,the players try to incorpo-rate the audience into theevent to “share in it togeth-er.”

Advice for the Players, aquote from Shakespeare's“Hamlet,” is an acting com-pany centered in Sandwich,comprised of professionalactors, community partici-pants and enthusiastic teensand children. In addition tovarious productionsthrough the year, the com-pany host a winter work-shop and a youth and teensummer camp split in foursessions by age, from four to18-years-old, which somecast-members attended.

“I've been having lots offun with the cast,” said An-gela Smith, who played Her-mia. “This year, there is amixed ensemble. We haveprofessional actors and kids,too. We got a chance to workwith kids and different com-munity members.”

Smith graduated fromPlymouth State Universitywith a BA in theater arts,specializing in acting. Thismarks Smith's sixth produc-tion with the Players.

“It has been educationalfor everyone involved,” said

Richard Moses, who playedNick Bottom. “The commu-nity has been very support-ive.”

Moses had nothing butpraise for the communitysupport the players re-ceived. From participationof resident actors to the do-nation of props, the Sand-wich community aided theplayers in many ways.

This is Moses' sixth sum-mer with the Players. Mosesis also part of the PSU The-ater Integrating Guidance,Education and Responsibili-ty (TIGER) program.

According to Moses, thePlayers rehearsed for onlytwo weeks prior to their firstshow; that meant rehearsingat their outdoor venue in theelements of NH summerweather. However, despitethe heat, rain and the shorttime frame, the Players wereable to pull off a great per-formance.

Smith described the expe-rience as “very taxing” attimes, between the heat andthe layers of costume.

Actor Bill Viau, orDemetrius on stage, recalleda few rainy rehearsalswhere he was “soaked to thebone.”

“There is one part where

I'm sleeping on the groundfor like 10 minutes. Waterbegan filling my ears, andwe were all covered withleaves and sticks. I can’tmove because I'm supposedto be asleep,” said Viau, whoalso played a roll assisting inthe production. Besides act-ing, Viau is also an Englishteacher.

“This particular produc-tion of ‘Mid Summer Night'sDream’ has been a joy to me.

Mark [Woollett] is taking itin a different direction,”said Viau. “Truth and hon-esty, rather than slapstick,with a focus on relationshipsand human feeling.”

In the early years, the act-ing company only offeredproductions in the wintermonths, but eventually ex-panded to multiple produc-tions in the summer and fallmonths as-well and are cur-rently settled on the stage at

the Sandwich fairgrounds.“It’s the ideal place to

have a summer festival,”said Woollett. “The fair-grounds are under-utilizedduring most of the summer.”

Woollett wished Shake-speare wrote more playssimilar to “A Mid-SummerNight's Dream.”

“All the characters arecrystal clear. It’s actuallyeasier to follow than mostplays we see now-a-days,”

said Woollett, describing theintimidation some feel whenfaced with Shakespeare'sworks.

According to Woollett, theproduction would not havebeen possible without gen-erous contributions fromthe New Hampshire Chari-table Foundation, as well astheir private donors. Theshow was also sponsored bythe Sandwich Players.

Advice to the Playerscompleted four shows al-ready and there are fourmore opportunities to seethe show. The Players willpreform “A Mid SummerNight's Dream” Thursday,Aug. 11 through Sunday,Aug. 14 at 2 p.m. on the Sand-wich fairgrounds stage.

Additionally, they willpreform “The Life and Deathof the Dastardly VillainRichard the Third (a.k.a.‘The Bunch-Back’d Toad’),”a melodramatic version of“Richard III,” during theSandwich Fair.

The ‘Brook gets Slightly StoopidGILFORD — The reggae

fusion, psychedelic rock bandSlightly Stoopid, along withother reggae band Rebelu-tion, will visit the Meadow-brook U.S. Cellular Pavilionthis Thursday, Aug. 11, as partof the Eastern Propane Con-cert Series. Tickets on salenow! To charge by phone, call293-4700 or online atwww.meadowbrook.net.

California has been the in-spiration for many reggae fu-sion bands, and SlightlyStoopid is just another thatcalls the Golden State home.Formed in 1995 by childhoodfriends Miles Doughty andKyle McDonald in OceanBeach, San Diego, SlightlyStoopid describes their musicas “a fusion of acoustic rockand blues with reggae, hip-hop and punk.” They pulltheir influences from the likesof Sublime, Operation Ivy,Rancid and Streetwise as wellas reggae influences fromBeenie Man and Buju Banton.

Not only was Sublime amajor influence for the band,but if not for the late Sublimefrontman, Bradley Nowell,

Slightly Stoopid may not havebeen discovered. WhileDoughty and McDonald werestill in high school, they weresigned to Nowell’s record la-bel, Skunk Records. Theirfirst self-titled album was re-leased in 1996 and containedtwo hidden tracks, “To A Par-ty” and “Marley Medley,” thathave the late Nowell perform-ing bass. This album has be-come a very rare classic asSkunk Records only released1,000 copies and, with Now-ell’s cameo on two tracks, thealbum has become a hot itemamong Sublime fans.

As the band grew, they be-gan to add more musicalstyles.With additions of Ryan“RyMo” Moran on the drums,Oguer “OG” Ocon on percus-sion, harp and vocals, C-Mon-ey on the trumpet and key-board and Dela playing saxo-phone, Slightly Stoopid hadevolved.The results were seenon their 2005 release of “Clos-er to the Sun,” which debutedon the Billboard Top 200.Their hot tracks from the al-bum are “Bandelero,” “ThisJoint” and “Closer to the

Sun.” The most successful re-lease for the band and for theirlabel (Stoopid Records) wasthe 2007 album “Chronchitis.”The sound from this, theirfifth studio album, is pureCaribbean. The perfect mix ofgenres was influential in thesuccess of this groove – heavyalbum. The popular tracksare “2am,” “Above theClouds,” and “Round theWorld.” Other top SlightlyStoopid tracks are “CollieMan,” “No Cocaine,” “SweetHoney” and “Hold onto theOne.”

Joining Slightly Stoopid isanother California-based reg-gae band, Rebelution.Formed in 2004 by collegefriends, their first full lengthalbum, 2007’s “Courage ToGrow,” garnered them coun-try wide recognition, as theywere selected as iTunes Edi-tor’s Choice for Best ReggaeAlbum of 2007, as well as

reaching number four on theBillboard Top Reggae Albumschart. They were praised fortheir crafty melodies, social-ly–conscious lyrics and giftedmusicianship style. Rebelu-tion’s 2009 album, “BrightSide of Life,”took the numberone spot on the Reggae AlbumBillboard, as well as the num-ber three spot for top albumsdownloaded in the U.S. oniTunes. Their reggae inspira-tion has produced hits of “Or-dinary Girl,” “Feeling Al-right,” “Safe and Sound,”“Green to Black” and“Courage To Grow.”

Don't miss the chance tosee Slightly Stoopid and Re-belution live at the Meadow-brook U.S. Cellular Pavilionthis Thursday, Aug. 11! Tick-ets are also available at the Al-ton Circle Grocery, Steve’sStereo in Boscawen,Spun Mu-sic in Dover and the TangerOutlets in Tilton.

Sant Bani School begins classroom renovationsSANBORNTON — As the

students at Sant Bani Schoolwere finishing up a busy yearbefore summer vacation,teachers were hurriedly pack-ing up their classrooms andmoving everything out of theschool’s oldest building to pre-pare for major renovations totake place over the break.This building has been hometo the third through fifthgrade classrooms for manyyears and before that was theoriginal Sant Bani Schoolsoon after opening its doors in1973. It is being rebuilt thissummer to provide a brandnew facility for the fall of 2011.

During the winter, archi-tect and long-time friend andneighbor of the school, TiborFarkas, helped design a build-ing that Sant Bani staff feltwould meet the needs of stu-dents for many years to come.Farkas met with faculty mem-bers who teach in the buildingto ensure that all aspects ofthe school day were consid-ered, from academics, to artclasses, to indoor physical ed-

ucation on rainy days.Preliminary site work was

done even as classes carriedon during the spring. As theschool year drew to a close,everything from computers toart supplies were placed intemporary storage units sothat the construction could

begin. The building that isnow in the renovation phasewill house grades threethrough five. A new multipur-pose room that will provide aplace for the arts, movementclasses and a gathering spacefor everyone is being con-structed simultaneously.

Sant Bani School foundingprincipal Dr. Kent Bicknellsays, “It is a remarkable feel-

ing to have helped create theoriginal stone building 37years ago, and now witness itstransformation. This projectcreates a beautiful, vibrantspace for our third, fourth andfifth graders and also builds abridge between the school’srich history and exciting fu-ture.”

Although the new buildingcovers a larger footprint thanthe original one did, the lookand feel of the old building re-mains in many ways. Insulat-ed radiant heat flooring, su-per thermal windows, and anair exchanger all help to farexceed suggested energycodes. Much thought and carewere also given to preserve theschool’s organic gardens thatstudents use each year to farmgarlic, winter squash, kaleand a variety of vegetables.

As families drop by the

school to see the progress,they can’t help but get excitedby the size and shape of thenew building. It is takingform but has much work yetto be done before students re-turn from vacation. The crewwill be hard at work through-out the month of August inpreparation for the start ofschool.

Sant Bani School is an in-dependent kindergartenthrough 12th grade day schoollocated in Sanbornton. It wasfounded in 1973 with six stu-dents, and has grown to 170.Applicants are welcome re-gardless of family income, ashelp is available for all whoneed it. More than 70 percentof Sant Bani students receivefinancial aid. For informa-tion, call 934-4240 or visit theschool’s Web site at www.sant-bani.org.

Bani School in Sanborntonwill be holding an informa-tional Admissions OpenHouse on Saturday, Aug. 13at 1 p.m. The group presen-tation will be at 1 p.m., andtours will follow.

This event is open to thepublic. There are openingsin a number of grades, in-cluding the high school, forthe 2011-2012 school year.

Sant Bani School, a fullyaccredited K-12 day schoolestablished in 1973, serves175 students on a campus incentral New Hampshirewith access to 200 acres offields and woodlands.Strong academic and co-cur-

ricular programs integrateintellectual, creative andspiritual growth with phys-ical, emotional, and socialdevelopment. Preparingstudents for college is a fo-cus of the upper grades, andgraduates have a 100 percentcollege acceptance rate.Learning takes place in theclassroom, on the playingfield, on stage, in the studio,and through service proj-ects. The school forms a car-ing, family-like community,characterized by a low stu-dent-faculty ratio and inter-actions among a variety ofage groups. Such an atmos-phere, built on a reverencefor life, gives students the

confidence to seek new chal-lenges and adventures, andfosters a sense of responsi-bility to others.

About to begin its 39thyear, the school continues tostay committed to its gener-ous scholarship program,making the school afford-able for all families. A di-verse population regionally,economically, ethnicallyand globally has kept thelearning environment at theschool rich and varied.

THE REST OF THE STORY A13■


Hiltz Construction, an agree-ment was reached to remedythe concerns of the selectboard.

Michie Corp. agreed to re-cast an inlet side headwalland culvert box as soon asforms are available, whichwould then take seven daysto cure. Hiltz said once thenew castings were ready, hewould pull the original boxand headwall on the inlet sideof the bridge, reset the wingwalls, some of which hadshifted since their placementin January, and also checkthe seams in the culvert toensure they remain tight.They will then patch anychips and cracks on the wingwalls.

“The patch is a quality re-pair,” said Gard. “I used it onmy house about 30 years ago,and while I can’t guaranteehow long the patch lasts, it’sworked on my own home forall those years.”

Hiltz further assured theselectmen that the com-pound is on the Departmentof Transportation’s ap-

proved products list forbridge and culvert repairs,and is utilized to protect theintegrity of concrete struc-tures when the surface ischipped or cracked during in-stallation.

Hiltz added that if he hadit to do all over again, hewould not be rushed into un-dertaking such a project inthe winter, when problems ofthis type can occur, but prom-ised his company would doall they can to “make thingsright.”

At a subsequent meetingat Town Hall later thatevening, selectmen talkedwith engineer Peter Holdenabout overseeing repara-tions to the bridge.

“We don’t trust anyone atthis point,“ said Consentino,who was echoed unanimous-ly by the rest of the board.

Again saying unanimous-ly that Public Works DirectorDennis Allen would be themost dependable town repre-sentative to monitor the proj-ect, Dawson said someoneother than the town shouldbe responsible for paying forthe time to take from Allen’sregular duties. Consentino

agreed.“We need to do our due

diligence and have Dennis re-imbursed. This has taken upenough time,” Consentinotold Holden.

Holden said his companywould agree to pick up a reg-ulated amount of hours forAllen to be present at the site.He said he would obtain awork schedule from Hiltz andadvise the town on when

Allen and any other repre-sentatives should be present,in order to limit the timeneeded for Allen to be takenfrom his daily job.

Holden added his compa-ny’s engineers would also beon scene to observe the con-struction, and suggested se-lectmen might be wise to bethere, as well.

“I’m sure as heck going tobe there when they start set-

ting those pieces this time,and I’ll stop them if I don’tlike what I see,” said Dawson.

Michie agreed to advisethe town, Hiltz and HoldenEngineering when the con-crete forms will be ready andconstruction can proceed. Se-lectmen also asked that ero-sion issues and repairs toabutters’ property be takencare of before they sign offon the project.

parade later in the day.Roberts was proud to havefinished dead last with atime of 2:16:16.

“Hey, at least I finished,”he laughed as people offeredhorses and other means forhim to negotiate the difficultcourse next year.

When the parade took tothe streets at 1 p.m., crowdslined the sidewalks andporches to watch floats, per-formances by the BHSmarching band andFranklin Recreation Cheer-leaders, admire the antiquecars, beautifully adornedhorses, and honor a few oftheir own.

Besides police, fire andservicemen who receivedrounds of applause, BradLawrence joined the paradeas the Belmont Rotary’s Ser-vice Above Self award recip-ient for this year. FollowingLawrence were Belmont’snewest Good Citizen awardco-winners, Class of 2011graduating seniors Court-ney Clary and Dan Powell,who rode in an open con-vertible and waved to fellowresidents.

As the BHS marchingband made its way to thejudges’ stand on the librarylawn, though, they were si-lenced for the first time astribute was paid to retiringBHS music director andGrand Marshall for thisyear’s parade, Ray Craigie.

Roberts set aside his good-natured humor for a momentto sincerely thank Craigie onbehalf of the town. Craigie,he said, has marched thestreets of Belmont, leadingthe band for every parade inthe town over more than 20years as the school district’smusic director.

“He’s formed the bands,and formed the children whoperform in them every year.He’s why they sound sogood,” Roberts said.

Craigie bowed and wavedto the appreciative crowd be-fore giving the signal tostrike up the band and con-

tinue on with his final marchthrough Belmont.

Food was prominentthrough the day, beginningwith a pancake breakfast andfollowed by grilled foods,

bake sales, lemonade stands,sno-cones, cotton candy, pop-corn, and every other treatkids of any age would enjoy.In the meantime, games andmusic by New Horizons Band

took over the bandstand be-hind the library, whilefundraisers, booths of whim-sical toys and lovely craftsprevailed around the towngreen.

Later that evening, Bel-mont Fire Department firedup their grills again and wel-comed all to their now fa-mous chicken barbecue.From there, the crowds made

their way to Bryant Field be-hind the Middle School formore fun and the much an-ticipated annual fireworksdisplay, which wrapped upthe daylong celebration.

his recitals, recordings, andappearances with orchestrasthroughout the world. Hisconcerts attract a wide rangeof audiences, as he has ea-gerly embraced traditional pi-ano literature, as well as aneclectic range of repertoire,including new music com-missioned especially for him,world music and his owntranscriptions. Mr. Fan’s en-gaging personality, technicalassurance, lyricism andsheer musicality win over au-diences wherever he per-forms. As a recording artist,Mr. Fan scored two consecu-tive Billboard Top 10 Debutswith his solo CDs World Keysand West of the Sun.

The Brahms “Third Sym-phony” was written in 1883,and is perhaps the composer'smost elusive symphony. It iscertainly his most adventur-ous, featuring daring modu-lations in the first movement,and a Schumann-esquescheme of thematic inter-re-lationships that culminate inan unusually subdued coda inthe finale.

It is notable that the firstperformance ofTchaikovsky’s “Piano Con-certo No.1”premiered on Oct.25, 1875 in Boston, Mass., andhas since become one of themost popular ofTchaikovsky’s compositionsand among the best known ofall piano concerti.

Classics concerts arepriced from $20 to $65, andtickets may be easily pur-chased online. For informa-tion and ticket purchases,contact the Festival at 279-3300 or visit the Festival Website at www.nhmf.org.

ones who got off to a goodstart.

“I got a hole in one onmy first shot, and I’ve nev-er even been here before,”he said.

That lucky puttbrought on a challenge, asolder brother Lucas andfriend Jonathan MacDon-ald set out to matchCaleb’s accomplishment.

“We’ve got to get a holein one now, too,” said Mac-Donald.

Donna Barnes and herhusband Tim had afriendly rivalry going on,as well, as they playedthrough with their twochildren, Jonathan andCourtney.

“I challenged him, sohe’s stepped up his gamenow,” she laughed beforetaking careful aim on herball.

The Barnes, like manyat the golf course that day,said their children attendthe recreation depart-ment’s summer camp andafter school programsthroughout the year, andwanted to help raise mon-ey to construct the newplayground.

Another local familywas not just out to supportthe playground efforts,but to also try to redeemthemselves from a some-what dismal appearancein the inaugural tourna-ment.

Melanie Van Tassel ad-mitted she had the worstscore ever that year, andwas presented with a to-ken from Pirate’s Cove toreturn for some perhapsmuch-needed practice.

“We’re a championshipteam this year, though. Ican feel it,” Van Tassellaughed as she, her daugh-ter, son, and his friendmoved on to the third hole.

preparing for the new schoolyear, which begins at the endof the month.

“I’m really looking for-ward to meeting the studentsand getting to know the staffand faculty here, too,” hesaid.

Brauch comes to WRHSfrom Belmont High School,where he was the Special Ed-ucation Case Manager andCoordinator of ClassroomDiscipline.

He worked at BHS for fourgratifying years, he said,helping resolve conflicts andstudent issues as he workedto assist them in managingboth the stressors in theirlives and their own behav-ioral reactions.

“Students are usuallypunished for what they’vedone without any componentof intervention. There’s ahuge need for systemicchange to help kids managethese factors in their lives,which can affect how they actand how they learn at times,”Brauch said.

It’s not always about whowas wrong or who was right,he added. Sometimes, it’smore about what to do betterthe next time to avoid that sit-uation.

Brauch said his goal atWRHS is to get to know stu-dents and focus on theirneeds. Schools can be very fo-cused on test results, he ac-knowledged, but he is alsoconcerned about what is go-ing on with the studentsthemselves, which in the endcan affect test scores.

“It’s just like in sports. Ifyou want to win, you have tosee what’s working andwhat’s not, then address thatwith more skills training orwhatever it is. The samething goes on in the class-rooms. When you meet theirneeds and address the issues,the scores go up,” he said.

Brauch believes teachershave the hardest job there isin today’s world, being askedto now do a lot more thanteach. Besides educating stu-dents, teachers often findthemselves in the role of parttime parent and mentor aswell. All of these chargesmust be handled withinproper guidelines andboundaries.Not an easy task,he said.

“There are some greatteachers here at Win-nisquam. While it’s a chal-lenge to work within any or-ganization where peoplehave may have a lot of dif-ferent ideas, with sharedideas and goals we can dogood things and I’m reallylooking forward to that,”Brauch said.

When school begins onAug. 29, the new administra-tor will be there to greet stu-dents, and said he will main-tain an open door policythroughout the year for anystudent who needs his assis-tance. He looks forward to lis-tening, learning about themand doing what he can to helpin any way possible. Brauchacknowledged everyone hasbad days and sometimes astudent might simply needsomeone to talk things overwith in order to get on withthe rest of the day in a pro-ductive manner. He addednot everyone learns at thesame pace, nor does everystudent come to high schoolwith the same set of skills,and sometimes that can leadto issues. Besides any neces-sary discipline, he feels it isthe underlying problem thatalso needs to be recognizedand addressed to prevent fu-ture problems and bolsterthe learning process.

“I’m very student focused,which is really why all of uswork in schools. So aboveeverything else, we have tonow show kids that, no mat-ter what, we’re here forthem,” said Brauch.

“No scouts will be callingme after today, I’m sure, butwe’ll see how it goes. This isall just good fun for a goodcause,” she said.

Another team comprisedof Sanbornton teens alsolaughed and joked their waythrough the maze of puttinggreens.

“I’m doing bad, but it’s be-cause I didn’t have break-fast,” said Rob Zollo as team-mates Kendra and Macken-zie Lonergan and Chris Cave-ny booed at his excuse.

The tiniest participant ofall, though, was seven-month-old baby Elinor, whohad to settle for sitting in herstroller as mom Becki andbig sister Alli Kibbe playedon her behalf.

“The whole reason we’rehere is for the playground.Elinor will definitely be us-ing it one day, and we want tohelp,” said Becki.

Scores were averaged outfor each team of partici-pants, and the surprise of theday came when Team VanTassel really did redeem

themselves, coming from lastto first as they took the titleof 2011 tournament champi-ons. No one walked awayempty-handed, though.Recreation CommissionerHeather Goodwin and de-partment coordinator JulieLonergan had prizes foreveryone, ranging from Fish-er Cats tickets to dinners atCommon Man, T-Bones andHart’s Turkey Farm, alongwith gift certificates for Dy-namic Ceramics, Storyland,and many other local muse-ums and family-oriented at-tractions.

“Thanks to you all, we’veraised over $2,000 each yearsince we started thisfundraising tournament. Af-ter next year, we hope we’llbe able to start building theplayground, so get yourfriends to come out and joinus, and we hope to see you allthen,” announced Goodwin.

Lonergan was more thanpleased with the day’sturnout, along with the spon-sorships for each hole on thecourse and the generosity of

Pirate’s Cove, once again theGold Sponsor for the day.

“They readily let us havethe course each year, andeven sponsor a few of theholes. They’ve just been ter-rific, and so supportive,”Lonergan said.

She also wished to give aspecial thank you toFranklin Savings Bank,which was this year’s SilverSponsor with a donation of$500.

Other appreciated spon-sors include Steele Hill Re-sorts, Dr. Grobman and theOrthopedic Professional As-sociation, Meredith VillageSavings Bank, Metrocast,Winnisquam Auto, LaconiaSavings Bank, Beverly A.Wood (Grammie BeBe),Tanger Properties, Den BraeGolf Course and the Tilton-Northfield Rotary.

“They’ve all been instru-mental in making thisfundraiser a success everyyear, and we can’t thankthem enough for their sup-port,” Lonergan said.

Mercifully, the NFL sea-son is set to start on time, af-ter the owners and the play-ers’ association finally cameto an agreement late lastmonth. With the popularityof the sport of football at anall-time high, missing anygames due to a lockout wouldhave been utterly disastrous.While college football stillwould’ve provided fans witha fix of the sport, Sundayswouldn’t have been the samewithout fantasy updates andred zone alerts.

The New England Patri-ots have been quite busysince the lockout came to aclose, making numerousmoves that have left thethree-time Super Bowlchampions open to potentialcriticism if things don’t panout. I’m talking of courseabout the acquisitions of Al-bert Haynesworth and Chad‘Don’t call me Johnson’Ochocinco. While the jury islikely to be out on thosemoves until well into the reg-ular season when we actual-ly see how they’re perform-ing on the field, that doesn’tmean the critics haven’tstarted already.

With the preseason slated

to kick off tonight againstthe Jacksonville Jaguars,I’ve compiled a list of boldpredictions for the upcom-ing season. Granted, the Patswent 14-2 last year so makingbold predictions isn’t quitethe same as it would be for ateam like the Carolina Pan-thers, but here are a fewthings that I’m going onrecord with. Feel free to rubthem in my face once De-cember and January rollaround and none of them areeven remotely accurate.

Second-round pick ShaneVereen will lead the team inrushing

Yes, I’m aware that Ben-jarvus Green-Ellis toppedthe 1,000-yard mark last sea-son. But with so many op-tions in the Patriots back-field this year (Kevin Faulk,Danny Woodhead, Stevan Ri-

dley) it’s likely going to be arunning back-by-committeeapproach. That plays intothe hands of Vereen, who isthe most explosive back ofthe bunch. If he’s able tobreak off some big gainers,expect him to lead the way inthe yards department.

Sebastian Vollmer willmake the Pro Bowl

The third-year tackle outof Houston quietly had anoutstanding season for thePats, and while he didn’thave the clout to make theteam a year ago, expect hisreputation to increase as thisyear unfolds. With all the at-tention being paid to LoganMankins and his contract,Vollmer will quietly go abouthis job and become the mostconsistent part of the line.

Bill Belichick will wear

something other than a grayhoodie on the sideline

Just kidding. That proba-bly won’t happen.

Rob Gronkowski will con-tinue his climb towards fanfavorite

If you haven’t paid any at-tention to Gronkowski thisoffseason, the second-yeartight end has been all overthe place just living thedream. Whether it’s party-ing at his alma mater Uni-versity of Arizona or flirtingwith super models, the guyhas quickly become the envyof just about every Pats fanbetween the ages of 18-35. Ifhe can catch even in thesame vicinity of touch-downs he had last year (10),expect him to absolutely ex-plode in popularity this sea-son.

The Patriots will go 11-5but win the Super Bowl

The team went 14-2 lastyear and didn’t even make itto the AFC ChampionshipGame. So I’m going to mix itup and say they’ll “only” win11 games but make up for itin the end. While everyonein the world is saying thePhiladelphia Eagles are alock for the Super Bowl withtheir acquisitions and an-other year of Mike Vick, I’mgoing to go out on a limb andsay…New England 24, At-lanta 14.

SANBORNTON – It didn’ttake long for Scott Athertonto get the itch.

A friend talked the San-bornton resident into doinghis first triathlon in 2009, andhe followed that up by com-peting in the Gilford Tim-berman Half-Ironman laterthat summer. When 2010rolled around, the NewHampshire State Troopermade the trip to Providence,R.I. for another half-iron-man. This one was differenthowever, as the race also fea-tured the sign-up sheet for afull ironman the followingsummer.

“There’s only one fullironman in the northeastand when I was at Provi-dence, you could sign up forit so I did it right there andthen,” said the 42-year oldAtherton.

Fast-forward to July 24.After making the trip to LakePlacid, N.Y., Atherton com-pleted the grueling competi-tion (2.4-mile swim, 112-milebike, 26.2-mile run) in 12hours, 52 minutes and nine

seconds, finishing 699thoverall out of the nearly 3,000competitors in attendance.

“My goal was 13 hours soI was able to beat that,” saidAtherton. “To me, it’s justamazing. If you can put yourmind to it and train yourself,you can do just about any-thing you want and thisproves that.”

It was a day of firsts forAtherton. The race not onlymarked his first full Iron-man, but also the first timehe ran more than 20 miles.Capping off the event with afull marathon is certainly adaunting task.

“I was pretty much a 5K,10K road racer before I gotinto these things,” he said. “Iran a lot up until ’09 but I’ma bigger guy, I’m 215(pounds), so I’m not reallybuilt for running. But withthe endurance stuff, thelonger you go, the less youtry to go fast because youknow you have to make it allthe way through.”

Once Atherton committedto the race, his trainingregime kicked into full gear

after Christmas this pastwinter.

“I knew that once Christ-mas was over, the trainingwas really going to have tostart and I knew I had to haveabout six to seven months offull training to be ready forit,” he explained. “I didn’t geta coach to help train. It’s ex-pensive so I just had a couplefriends that had done somehelp me out and I based someof my training off them.”

In the early wintermonths, Atherton’s trainingwould take up about 10-15

hours a week. He was able toget his swim workouts in atthe Gunstock Inn and Fit-ness Center in Gilford, whilehe managed to get outsideand run throughout the win-ter months. That was impor-tant for him, as he was al-ready stuck indoors on a sta-tionary bike when snow en-compassed the Lakes Region.

“I didn’t run on a tread-mill once,” he said. “You canrun on a treadmill but yourlegs just don’t get used to thepounding of the asphalt so Imade sure to stay outside all

winter. The pool had benefitsfor me though, especiallywith my speed. It gets boringwhen you’re working on dis-tance because it’s a lot of lapsbut my speed definitely im-proved from it.”

But as the weather turnedand the final months of train-ing approached, Athertonramped his workouts up. Itwasn’t unusual for him toleave his house at 4 a.m. onSaturday mornings and re-turn home nearly 12 hourslater.

“The last three months

were push months and I putin a lot of mileage,” he ad-mitted. “I must’ve done atleast four 100-plus bike ridesin that last stretch.”

Atherton finally shiftedover to open water swims inearly May, alternating be-tween Ellacoya in Gilfordand Lake Waukewan inMeredith.

“You could swim along theshoreline and outer edge ofbuoys and not be over yourhead that much,” said Ather-

TILTON – With just a fewdays left before preseasonpractices begin for the Win-nisquam Regional HighSchool field hockey team onMonday, new coach CherieSnow has been busy gettingup to speed with her playersthis summer, as the formerFranklin High School coachheld open sessions and ran ayouth clinic in Tilton inpreparation for the fall sea-son.

The clinic, which consist-ed of mainly middle schoolplayers, was run by Win-nisquam players, althoughSnow admits it was a feelingout process.

“The hardest part with theclinic is they don’t really

know my coaching philoso-phy right now because this isgoing to be my first year withthe program,” said Snow,who also coached at GilfordHigh School and PlymouthState.

The open sessions Snowran twice a week throughoutthe summer were beneficialhowever, as it was a chancefor her to get to know some ofher future players. While sheteaches at Winnisquam, in-teracting with her players outof the classroom is importantin developing the coach/play-er relationship.

“This was the first yearWinnisquam has ever hadopen sessions and we startedthe day after school got out,”she explained. “It’s hard to

get a feel for the girls becauseI don’t have the entire teamthere but we got to jokearound and got to know eachother in a more relaxed situ-ation so that was good.”

With former longtimeWinnisquam coaches DaveRogacki and Len Lavin re-tired, Snow steps in to a teamthat has been used to stabili-ty in the coaching ranks foryears.

“It’s hard coming in as anew coach and it’s hard forthe players not really havingbeen with me yet,” she ad-mitted. “But once preseasonstarts, by the end of the firstweek they’ll have an ideawhat I want and where I’m go-ing with this.”

Once area Snow hopes tobridge the gap in is terminol-ogy, as her experience withPlymouth State will hopeful-ly translate to her futureBears.

“I’m coming from a college

level background, whereasthey’re still playing withlinks and halfbacks so the ter-minology is a little different,”she said. “It’s going to be amatter of them understand-ing how the lineup is going towork and it’s going to be achange for them. I’m veryhopeful that we’ll be fine withit though and I have a lot ofconfidence in them.”

The fall gets under wayMonday morning at 7 a.m., asthe Bears will partake in dou-ble sessions the first week ofpractice with a jamboreescheduled for Aug. 20.

“We’ll do morning condi-tioning and then the after-noon will be skill work,” shesaid.

The Bears open their reg-ular season slate with an Aug.30 game at Newfound Re-gional. The team opens itshome schedule Sept. 2 whenMascenic Regional comes toTilton.

NEW & USED BOATS ON LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE


ERROL – Let me start withthe obvious: Fly fishing istough. Everyone I know whohas ever done it told me thesame thing, but it wasn’t untillast week when I tried it formyself that I was able to vali-date that sentiment.

It was the third fishing tripof the summer with myguides, Chuck Kenney andRick Forge, and this was theone I was looking forward tothe most. After angling inLake Waukewan and LakeWinnipesaukee the first twotimes out, the prospect of flyfishing took us into foreignwaters.Foreign waters for me,that is, as we traveled north toErrol and the AndroscogginRiver that flows from NewHampshire into Maine. Situ-ated right on the Maine bor-der, we were less than an hourride from Canada, with notmuch in the way of civiliza-tion surrounding us.

The day started even earli-er than my previous two trips,as we had over a two hour rideahead of us to reach Errol. Imet Kenney in Meredith atthe very dark time of 3:45 a.m.,and we continued over to Cen-ter Harbor where we metForge and his three-personboat that would allow us tofloat down the river. It was offto the great unknown with al-most no traffic on the roads,as we headed through Con-way into the White Moun-tains as the sun began to risein the early morning hours.

The duo regaled me withstories of the various areaswe passed through, explain-ing the history of the WhiteMountain Airport turned out-let shops in North Conway, aswell as the professional tennistournaments that used tomake their home along theroute.

Passing through Mt. Wash-ington, a decent amount ofcars parked near the varioushiking trails surprised me forsuch an early hour, and thesummer-time weather had skiresorts like Wildcat Mountainlonging for December.

We cruised through the

sleepy towns of Gorham andBerlin, with Kenney andForge recalling long trips tothe area for basketball gameswith their respective highschool teams, before reachingour destination around 6:30a.m. in Errol.

Stop number one was a vis-it to the bustling downtownarea, where we shimmied upto the counter at the localrestaurant for some coffeeand a light breakfast. Not ac-customed to being awake at6:30 much less 3:30, I was al-ready a large coffee and tallRed Bull into my day when Idowned two cups of coffee inthe diner and snacked on abagel with cream cheese.

We continued over to thestart of the river just past thedam where the day finally gotstarted about 7 a.m. Being myfirst time fly fishing, I was giv-en some green waders and therest of the ensemble, makingme appear like a legitimatefisherman despite the resultsbegging to differ. After thethree of us were all deckedout, we headed into the sur-prisingly warm water wheremy tutorial was to begin.

Forge, who has appearedon many an ESPN Outdoorcompetition in his day,showed me the basics, the 10-to-2 casting techniques andthe like. For someone who hasnever gone before, there’s a lotof information being thrownat you right off the bat. Mybiggest problem initially wasthat I over thought every-thing, similar to my golfswing. When you’re concen-trating on one thing, you’relikely to forget another im-portant step and when you tryand think of everything at thesame time, your head gets soclouded that you can’t thinkstraight. But eventually, mycasts began resembling an ac-tual human being, and I evengot my first nibble on my lineas the current pulled my flyslowly down the river. Don’tworry, I didn’t catch him. Atleast not that time.

After an hour and a half oflearning various types ofcasting, we all head back toshore and hop in Forge’s

truck, where we drive downthe road a ways to a point inthe river where we’ll launchthe boat. With the water levelbeing quite low for this time ofyear, some tricky maneuver-ing is necessary to get ourtransportation into the liquidhighway, but after we finaglethings, we all strap in for theday on Androscoggin.

For visual aid, here’s theset up on the boat. I’m ridingshotgun in the front, withForge in the number two seatand Kenney in the back. Thethree of us are in a straightline, and I’m fairly confidentI’m being used as the guineapig up front in case we hitsome sizable rapids. The prob-lem right off the bat is that thespot we enter the river at hasno current, meaning we arestationary. The task of gettingus to more flowing waters isForge’s, as he takes his oarsand begins rowing us downriver. This goes on for muchlonger than we expected, as agood half hour of hard row-ing is needed before we makevisual contact with some-thing resembling a current.

“A good workout for you to-day, at least,” I offer Forgefrom my comfortable chair upfront.

“The arms will definitelybe burning tomorrow,” he

replies.We see a plethora of kayaks

and canoes during our initialcrusade, as well as severalcamps taking place along theshoreline. Once we hit mov-ing water, things turn inter-esting very quickly. Since Istill don’t have much experi-ence casting, doing so whenthe current is rapid and rockscome into play can be quitetricky. The first couple timesthrough the rapids, I’m surevideo of my “fishing” wouldprovide quite the entertain-ment level. I’ve got arms go-ing everywhere, my line andfly soaring through the airmore times than needed. Butit finally starts to make sense,as my false casting is gettingquite good and I start relaxingand letting my actual casts gowithout much thought.

The results lead to my firstbattle as a fly fisherman. It’s alittle fish, but I pull my rod tipup and tug at my line, gettinginto a rhythm as I land a tinyriver chub to break my score-less streak and get on theboard for the day using aMadame X fly. Not too long af-ter, using a Turk’s Tarantulafly, I net a small bass that iscause for a picture in the boat.

I’m starting to get a littlesore as we come to the end ofour journey, passing under a

bridge and coming ashore toconclude the four hours in theriver. While Forge goes to lookfor a ride back to his truck sohe can retrieve our boat, I de-cide to wander into the waterand do a little more fishing be-fore the day is over. With Ken-ney acting as my cameraman,I head into the water just be-low my waist and toss out myfirst cast. As luck would haveit, I instantly nab anotherbass, my third fish of the day,as several fishermen onshoreappear impressed with my in-stantaneous luck. Kenneygets some good shots of myreeling the little guy in, andwe toss it back as I’m prettysatisfied with my afternoon.

‘Pretty’ is the operativeword, because I decide thatsince I was able to hook a fishright away, I might as well tryagain because the fishinggods are clearly on my side. Iwant to go a tad further outthis time however,and that de-cision sets up a tough way toend the day. With the waterlevel right around my waistnow, I take one more step toget a bit closer to the current,and as I do that, there’s a steepdecline that causes me to losemy footing. Since I wasn’tblessed with great balance, Iface plant into the water, soak-ing my entire body in the

process. I shoot up immedi-ately and return to shore, buton my way back I manage tofall again, making sure thatany dry part of my body isnow wet.

Kenney’s laughter at mysituation mixes in with myown, and he shows me the se-ries of pictures he managedto take of my fall and risethrough the river. There’ssome funny shots, one ofwhich I assure him will runwith the story in the paper.

With my clothes now suffi-ciently soaked, I settle into theback of the truck and endurethe long ride back to town. It’sa victory that I didn’t hook ei-ther Kenney or Forge duringour day on the water, and I al-so lost just two flies, which Ithink is about as good as couldbe expected. We make a quickstop at a secret fishing spotsomewhere near Jackson, butI have no luck there and de-cide that three fish is plentyfor my first fly fishing experi-ence. When I walk into myapartment around 7 p.m. afterthe long day, sleep is the onlything on my mind. As I col-lapse in my bed, my mind isclear as I quickly fade away,content that my next morningwill start much later than theprevious day’s 3:30 wake upcall.

If you squint hard enough, you can probably see the little bass I reeledin on the boat.

ton of Ellacoya. “A lot oftriathletes use those areas totrain and once you learn thatproper technique, you can re-ally swim a long ways.”

While he suffered a leg in-jury in the last month beforethe race, Atherton pushedthrough and made it to LakePlacid. When he got to thestarting line for the 7 a.m.kickoff, he was amazed at thescene before him. While mosttriathlons have staggeredstarting times based on divi-sions and the like, this Iron-man had every participantstart in the water at the sametime.

“It was crazy, absolutelycrazy,” Atherton said. “Theline probably stretchedabout 150-200 yards across soI started kind of near themiddle. The only problem,which I learned very quickly,was that when I tried to workmy way over to the buoys, itwas nearly impossible tokeep moving. So I worked myway back out to the middleand I was able to stay in aflow. After a good while, I wasable to take nice long strokesand the people aroundseemed to be in their own lit-tle zones. But I was watchingpeople getting the goggleskicked off their heads allover the place.”

After finishing the 2.4-mile swim in one hour, eightminutes and 42 seconds,Atherton transitioned to thebike portion.

“The thing with the bikeand me is that I wanna justgo,” he offered. “I had to trainnot to go as hard as I can be-cause then I wouldn’t haveany legs left for the run. Thathappens to a lot of theseguys. If you go as hard as youcan on the bike, maybe you’llfeel pretty good right away inthe run. But there’s going tobe some places where you’ll

pay for it.”Atherton came off the

bike in six hours, nine min-utes and 43 seconds. While itwas about seven minutesfaster than he had aimed for,he felt good and made sure tostay hydrated during the 112-mile ride.

“I drank about sixGatorades and six bottles ofwater,” he revealed.

With two-thirds of the legsin the books, the daunted runstill laid before Atherton. De-spite already competing inover seven hours of physicalcompetition, an exhausting26.2-mile jaunt stood be-tween him and the finishline.

“It weighs on your mindthe whole race,” said Ather-ton of the run. “I had tapedon my water bottle, ‘Havefun, it’s a marathon’ so I sawthat the whole time duringthe bike. Then when you getinto transition and you sitdown and put on your run-ning gear, it really sets in thatyou still have a marathonahead of you.”

With his months of train-ing coming into play, Ather-ton navigated the two-loopcourse. His legs began givinghim a problem around mile15. But after meeting up witha friend from Meredith, theduo managed their waythrough the next few miles.

“There were some toughpoints towards the end butonce you get back into townwhere the people all are,that’s when you need to suckit up and the adrenaline juststarts to kick in,” he said.

The last three miles backin Lake Placid saw sevenmonths of hard work flashbefore his eyes, as he cameacross the finish line at 7:52p.m. The marathon portionof the event took Athertonfive hours, 14 minutes and 56seconds.

“I crossed the finish linewith my arms up and I was

absolutely pumped,” he said.“Then like five minutes later,I just needed to sit down.They take the finishers pic-ture and then they weigh youto make sure you aren’t de-hydrated. I weighed only twopounds less than when Istarted so I did a very goodjob hydrating.”

While Atherton hadhoped to stay around the fin-ish line until midnight whenthe parties are really in fullforce, his body had otherideas.

“After those first few min-utes of excitement wentaway, I just said, ‘Get me offmy feet and into bed,” he saidwith a laugh. “I think I wasout by about 9:30. Some peo-ple can just feel fine after-wards. For me, I ended up get-ting some wicked blisters onthe bottoms of my feet.”

After a few sore days,Atherton said he felt rela-tively good by Thursday af-ter the Sunday race.

“I had some achy quads onTuesday but other than theblusters, my muscles weren’tsore at all by Thursday,” heexplained.

Now that he’s had time torecover, the married fatherof three has his sights set onhis future endurance career.While he’s planning on tak-ing next year off in the fullIronman game, he has hissights set on 2013 for anothergo.

“It’s just a lot for the fam-ily with a wife and three kidsand works and everythingelse,” he said. “They wantyou to do 20 hours a week oftraining but I don’t have thatkind of time. But now thatI’ve done one, I want to im-prove on my time.”

Atherton got back out forthe first time last week, whenhe ran a 5K in Loudon. He’sgot some “smaller” racesplanned for the near future,with a marathon slated forNovember. He expects to dosome half Ironmans nextsummer before trying hisluck again in ’13.

“Just time to get the fami-ly back on track,” he said.“They sacrificed all summerpretty much so we’re goingto get back to normal asmuch as possible now.”

With his Ironman train-ing now scaled back dramat-ically, Atherton does admitit’s a much different feelingfrom the previous months.

“I find myself feeling a lit-tle guilty but it’s nice to nothave that pressure,” he said.“I had the time of my lifethough. The training wastough but I was happy withhow it went and it paid off forme. I’m still sneaking myworkouts in, they’re just notseven or eight hours any-more. For me, it was ab-solutely worth all the hardwork. It was a goal I had, andI was able to accomplish it.”
