PHOTO BY EDITH TUCKER Members of the House Redistricting Committee — Rep. Herb Richardson, left, of Lancaster, chairman Rep. Paul Merski, Rep. Spec Bowers, and Rep. Lucy Weber — held a public hearing on Tues., Oct. 25, in the Lancaster Town Hall, drawing an audience of some dozen current and former elected officials. Rep. John Tholl, right, of Whitefield testified that putting Whitefield and Dalton together would result Personality in a 3,285-person district, bringing it within 20 residents of the desired number. Gorham selectman Paul Robitaille testified that Randolph should be grouped with Gorham and Shelburne because they are all in the same school district. Rep. Robert Theberge of Berlin testified that uninhabited Unincorporated Places should not serve as bridges between towns or the City of Berlin, a sentiment with which County Commissioner Tom Brady of Jefferson agreed. Rep. Gary Coulombe of Berlin testified that Berlin, Milan, and Success share many Profile: Larry services. Chairman Merski explained that the federal “one person, one vote” principle will likely serve to keep New Hampshire from being able to return to the days of single member districts, which many believe make it easier for constituents to know whom to call when they have a problem. The federal principle of one person, one vote trumps the state’s Constitution, Merski explained, and the population dis- parity between all districts cannot be larger than 10 percent. Rep. Bill Remick of Lancaster was on hand but did not speak; Rep. Evalyn Gomes Merrick of Lancaster had health issues that kept her away.

Not far behind in the top five was ter- rain trekker Ashley Bergeron (5, 23:42). In the top 10 traversing the mud- dy White Mountains course were Moriah Lanteigne (8, 24:02) and Christina Morin (10, 24:38). Slipping into the top 15 was Eliza Stiles (12, 24:45) with Meghan Kramer (16, 25:47) just one place away and Samantha Labens (23: 27:33) gave Berlin a solid lineup. Front man Jake Hallgren (4, 19:07) was a streak of Berlin red with teammate Nate Stiles (5, 19:13) close behind and Cody Deblois (8, 19:45) in the top ten.
