A check-passing ceremony to mark the completion of re- lamping the White Mountains Regional High School was held on Monday morning, June 27. The installation work was com- pleted in December 2010, with the combined goals of substan- tially reducing the school’s electricity bill, improving the lighting quality, and to reduce carbon emissions. The pro- ject’s cope included retrofitting 731 fixtures with high-perform- ance T8 lamps and electronic ballasts, replacing 347 fixtures, and installing 66 occupancy sensors in some rooms. The project is expected to reduce WMRHS’s electric usage by at least 120,000 kilowatts a year and its electric bills by more than $18,500.

It is un- derstood that every year a group of artists come to paint this outstanding view of our White Mountains. Years ago an- other choice spot to find an artist would be at the entrance of “Carters Cut” just off the Val- ley Road, giving one a closer view of the White Mountain Range. It seems that the sister of Hubert L. Carter enjoyed this spot for several years for her artwork. Today the view from there is beginning to get growth upon the hay fields that were visible when it was a farm owned by Elwin Paschal. In fact, both Paschal farms are showing growth in their fields; it would have been really great if the owners could keep it mowed and open for the fan- tastic view along that part of the Valley Road. I would like to share a little of our trip to Lake Placid, a bit at a time. One of our most interesting places that we visited, a bit early be- fore open season, was White Face Mountain, the “Great Olympic Mountain.” It is over 4600 feet in height, and features the highest vertical drop in the east at 3430. It has a great deal of athletic advantages from up- hill bike races, annual foot races up the mountain, skiing school, snowboarding of all ability levels, along with many other winter sports held. There is a ski center and a high speed gondola, a cafeteria, and a beautiful view of the High Peaks Region and Lake Placid itself. We were able to drive up the “Whiteface Mountain Veter- ans Memorial Highway” that rises at a gradual grade that made ascending not such a dan- gerous-feeling adventure. There were a few auto tour stops so you could take pic- tures and enjoy the grand view below. At the top of the high- way was an outstanding castle for the entrance that had a sign reading “Whiteface Castle En- trance, 1712 Whiteface Road, EL 4602 Ft 1403 M. Gift shop, Restaurant, Restrooms. Anoth- er sign read “Summit Memorial Light”. This Memorial light atop the summit house is a mark of constant tribute to the war veterans of this Nation. Just below the castle, built into the side of the mountain is a 400 some odd foot tunnel to walk through to an elevator that takes you to nearly the top where an observation station is set up. Only the brave that can stand height, wind velocity, and small space, are able to take this walk. It held a most outstanding walkway where one received a grand view of Lake Placid and many sur- rounding lakes, mountains, and landscapes. The trip back down the mountain road was a very easy and pleasing ride, not being steep at all. “A Beautiful Place!” this is a special Memor- ial to our Patriots.
