A8 THE LITTLETON COURIER, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2012 Local News Artist’s Bluff attention adds to Franconia Notch’s laurels

By DARIN WIPPERMAN [email protected]

FRANCONIA — Picture- perfect Franconia Notch has another feather in its cap. The Hudson River School Art Trail has recognized the Notch, along with Crawford Notch, as important sights for 19th Century artists. The organization, which started in 2005, first recog- nized the home and studio of Thomas Cole. The Englishman motivated many other artists through- out the 1800s. The art trail project is an effort to map the painting sites of those that Cole helped inspire. A book in the Littleton library offers much perspec- tive on how historical artists found motivation in the North Country. Consuming Views: Art and Tourism in the White Mountains, dis- cusses several artists in their work between 1850 and 1900. A Thomas Starr King quote in the book speaks to Franconia Notch’s visual power. “In the way of rock sculpture and waterfalls, it is a huge museum of curiosi- ties,” King wrote in 1859. The work of Edward Hill is featured in the book. He was artist-in-residence at the Profile House for 15 years. He had an 1887 painting entitled Echo Lake and Profile House. DARIN WIPPERMAN/THE LITTLETON COURIER This picture shows a view down Franconia Notch from Artist’s Bluff. Painters and sketchers have found the spot irresistible for generations.

Our program is tailored to intro- duce climbing to interested students as well as to encourage those with expe- rience and an interest in competition. As a school located in the White Mountains, we have taken advantage of our unique location by offering not only traditional teams of soccer, lacrosse, cross coun- try, basketball, alpine and freestyle, but also kayaking, mountain and road biking, recreational skiing/snow- boarding, hiking and fitness, rock climbing and back- country skiing/snowboard- ing. There is a lot happening at The White Mountain School.

Littleton Area Senior Center Honduras Hope and Partners proceed with “Tree Harp” public art sculpture

LITTLETON––In 2009, The Littleton Area Senior Center embarked on a com- munity project to bring a public art sculpture to the Ammonoosuc Riverwalk, which embraces the property where the Senior Center is located. The Town of Littleton, Common Ground and Littleton High School agreed to a partnership to ini- tiate the project. A $10,000 grant from the New England Foundation for the Arts helped start the planning stages of the project, which PHOTO BY MICKEY DE RHAM included choosing an Honduran born Pablo Roberto Flores entertains at the artist/sculptor, holding Honduras Hope Fundraiser at the home of Suzi and Bill meetings for public input Briggs in Sugar Hill on Saturday, Sept. 8.

WELLS RIVER, Vt. — Paige Martin and her little sister Dee can probably com- plete each other sentences — but they’ve also made a habit of finishing on the soc- cer field for the Woodsville Engineers. Just when gradu- ation depleted some of Woodsville’s scoring punch — the Engineers sister act has been welcomed by coach Ann Loud. The duo com- bined for 10 goals to help Woodsville stay unbeaten through its first five games. “I knew we had people to step in,” Loud said. “I’ll def- initely take a 5-0 start.” Paige and Dee each scored one goal in Woodsville’s 3-0 victory over Blue Mountain Saturday at Blue Mountain Union. Paige, a sophomore left wing, did not assume a prominent role in the Engineers offense last season but she’s already netted five goals through five games this year. “I feel more comfortable as a sophomore then I did last year because everything was new and I wasn’t used to defenses being good,” Paige said. “Now I know what to expect.” Paige isn’t surprised her little sister joined her as a leading scorer for the team. “I knew my sister was fast, just because I play with her, and we’ve always played well together,” Paige CHARLIE LENTZ/THE COURIER said. “So I was kind expect- Woodsville’s Paige Martin, green jersey, chases after the ball with Blue Mountain’s Alannah Farley in pursuit Saturday at Blue Mountain Union. ing her to step up.” Against Blue Mountain, a 1-2 scoring punch through wing, burst into the starting how she would mesh with this year we have a lot of for- with them really good.

THE LITTLETON COURIER, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2012 B5 Sports Profile boys rally past Lin-Wood

By CHARLIE LENTZ [email protected]

LINCOLN — Lin-Wood’s Tanner Burrows opened the scoring at 10:16 to put the Lumberjacks up early but Profile rallied with four unan- swered goals en route to a 4-1 victory at Lin-Wood Sept. 10. It was the first of three victo- ries for the Patriots last week. “The second half was a very good half for us. We did- n’t come out aggressive. We came out flat in the first 30 minutes which we can’t do against a team. They took advantage of it and scored a goal early,” said Profile coach Dave Robinson. “We’re very lucky they didn’t get another (goal) the way we were play- ing.” Profile’s Bailey Johnson scored late in the first half off an assist from Chris Chardon to tie it and the game was knotted 1-1 at the break. The Patriots picked up their intensity in the second half. “Overall, we were just more aggressive,” Robinson said. “It was poor decisions we were making in the first half it was just lack of emo- tion, lack emotion. We came out in the second half, played with some emotion, starting winning 50-50 balls. It changed the momentum of the game. North Country soccer is, of course, about the team that’s more aggressive — tends to take the momentum away in the game. Once we started winning 50-50 balls and winning them in their end we were able to get them on their heels and then start to CHARLIE LENTZ/THE COURIER play to feet and then making Lin-Wood’s Zephyr Morrison, right, and Profile’s Bailey Johnson chase down the ball. the right decisions as far as breaking down their defense.” Johnson scored unassisted to day.” scored to help Profile defeat 32-5 in shots and 3-0 in corner over Colebrook on Sept. 12.

NorthCountry Manor Assisted Living for Seniors Specializing in Memory Care

Does your loved one have trouble with memory? Has your parent or spouse been diagnosed with dementia? We understand aging can be a challenge for seniors as well as their caregivers.

Our structured program, directly supervised by a Registered Nurse, is geared towards achieving and maintaining the highest level of cognitive functioning. With the comforts of our small, home-like environment and the kindness and expertise of our staff, seniors feel safe, supported, and our families can rest assured that their loved ones are receiving the highest level of care and attention.
