Myth: Northern Pass respects private property rights of New Hampshire citizens. For residents of: FACT: This project is the most serious threat to individual property rights in the modern history of New Berlin, Dummer, Errol, Gorham, Jefferson, Milan, Hampshire. Northumberland, Randolph, Stark, the Unincorporated Myth: The lines are for the ‘public good’ and families that don’t sell out are ignorant or selfish. Places in Coos County and Shelburne FACT: This is a PRIVATE project. Individual landowners will lose property rights while big corporations will TRANSFER STATION WILL BE CLOSED FOR REGULAR increase profits. It will make BILLIONS of dollars for Hydro-Quebec. All the talk of ‘benefits’ for New Hampshire is just a smoke screen. Telephone: 752-3342 for information
Myth: Northern Pass can get the land rights it needs without using forced government ‘takings’ of land from people who don’t want to sell. FACT: Landowners up and down the state have pledged not to sell out to Northern Pass. The ONLY way this Logan Michael Chumack project can go forward is through government seizures of homes and land on a MASSIVE SCALE.
Myth: In areas where PSNH has existing rights of way across private land for electric lines, Northern Pass can use the 8-19-86 5-19-06 existing rights of way. “I’ll lend you for a little time a child of Mine,” He said, FACT: PSNH’s rights of way were created for smaller lines.

And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes, FACT: The opposition is huge and growing. Politicians are listening. Northern Pass is already retreating.

By Tom Zoellner The owners of what used to be the economic heart of Groveton — the old Wausau paper mill — are reportedly having a tough time finding a buyer for the property. That’s no surprise, given the hard state of the North Country economy and the national decline in paper consumption. But even if the price of colored specialty paper should suddenly re- bound, it still wouldn’t make a difference because of an ungracious good- bye present the Wausau Paper Company gave to Groveton on its way out the door in August of 2008. The company filed a “restrictive covenant” on the property making it clear that the next buyer or any other buyer down the line could not be engaged “in the process of paper making.” The company even stipu- lated that paper could never be made there by a not-for-profit concern. They didn’t do this out of spite. There was a slim chance that an un- foreseen competitor might have bought the mill and started competing with some of Wausau’s Midwestern plants. Would it have made a big dif- ference in the company’s shareholder value? Highly doubtful. Wausau was only covering a base. It was like buying insurance against a meteor PHOTO BY KAREN LADD, COLEBROOK NEWS AND SENTINEL strike. But in making this temporarily convenient move, they put an end Protesters from across New Hampshire and nearby Quebec gathered at the Beecher Falls, Vt., border crossing on Saturday, May 7, as a showing of to a legacy of papermaking on that strategic spot on the Ammonoosuc solidarity and protest against the proposed Northern Pass power line project.

He also enjoyed his job helping the Highway Depart- ment for the Town, spending many hours on the job, espe- cially during the winter season. He will be missed by many North Country people. Mothers Day celebrations Hopefully all mothers had a very enjoyable Mothers Day on Sunday, May 8. As many of us know, there is one thing that Lu- cille Cameron loves and that is to do something special for an- other person. Thus, she invited Nurnet Bader of Randolph, who has no family nearby, to join her to the Brunch at Hometown Market on Mothers Day. They gathered a beautiful bouquet of daffodils from Nurnet’s flower garden to present to Marie Cameron, owner of the Market and Deli, then enjoyed time and lunch with Marie. On Saturday, May 7, Bob and Shirley (Hopps) Forbush of Campton came up and treated her mother Beatrice Hopps, a resident at the Morrison Nurs- ing Home in Whitefield, to a de- licious dinner at Grandma’s Kitchen for Mothers Day. Join- ing them were Beatrice’s daugh- ter Lucille Cameron and grand- daughter Verle Cameron. Beat- rice really enjoyed going to Grandma’s and getting out in public. Another family who treated their mother to a joyful Mothers Day was Wilma Corrigan’s. Her children, Sally and Earl Brooks, Dan and Denise Corrigan of Gorham and Lori Corrigan with friend Frank Bartlett of Littleton gathered to treat Wilma and husband Rupert to a 4:30 p.m. dinner at the Mooselook Restau- rant in Concord, Vt., a delightful place to eat. After dinner, own- er Susan Ashby honored all mothers with a small flowering plant for their gardens. The cel- ebrating party then returned to Wilma’s home to enjoy a couple hands of “Scat,” a card game that all them delight in. Soup, Chowder and Chili winners On Saturday, May 7, the Jef- ferson Firemen’s Soup, Chow- der and Chili Cook-off was held, with much enthusiasm, as al- ways. There were 11 adult en- tries and three children’s en- tries. Of the five adult soup en- tries, the winners were John Tibbets of Dalton earning first place with his Chili Beef Soup; Joy McCorkhill, second place, Potato Leek Soup; and Wilma Corrigan, third place, Harvest Turkey Soup. There were two entries in the chowder contest and first place went to Terry Sanborn for Hearty Chicken Chowder, while Linda Stains earned second place with her Chicken Tomato Chowder. The Chili contest had four entries, with Chris Milligan taking first place with Millies Chili, a posi- tion Chris has been trying to get over Kurt Masters for several years now. Kurt Masters took second place with his famous Bean Hole Chili that he cooks in the ground, just like Bean Hole Beans; and third place went to Louise Paquette for Aunt Maryann’s Chili. There were three entries in the new chil- dren’s category, added this year. Kailyn Jones, granddaugh- ter of Bill and Barbara Jones of Whitefield, took first place as the only entry in the Chili divi- sion. There were two soup en- tries and first place went to Kait- ly Coulter, while second place went to Cole Milligan, the son of Lib and Chris Milligan.
