  • SENSE of PLACE in BERLIN, NEW HAMPSHIRE 1 Brooks
    PLANNING WIlH PLACE: SENSE OF PLACE IN BERLIN, NEW HAMPSHIRE 1 Brooks Preston Dartmouth College ABSTRACT. This study applies a phenomenological framework to the study ofplace in Berlin, New Hampshire. The results of Berlin's efforts to identify sense ofplace are com­ pared with the fuuJings generated by a phenomenological approach to the study ofplace. It is shown that the attributes and qualities ofplace that are most important to the people of Berlin are mentioned in the phenomenological interviews but sometimes overlooked or mis­ interpreted by the city's efforts. Sense ofplace is not embodied purely in the landscape or heritage, but exists in the minds of the people. Sense ofplace is a dynamic phenomenon that is the product ofpeople's historical and ongoing perceptions ofa certain geographic setting. From a holistic understanding ofplace gained through a phenomenological approach, plan­ ners can develop strategies which help preserve and enhance sense ofplace. 1 Rapid growth and the trend towards homogenity and efficiency in the landscapes of the United States have catalyzed a renewed interest in community planning and the concept of a sense of place. The city of Berlin, New Hampshire, like many other com­ munities in New England, is exploring sense of place in an effort to better understand what makes Berlin a unique and desirable community. From an understanding of sense of place, communities are able to manage growth and plan the future of the area to preserve and enhance the sense of place. The research seeks to advance the understand­ ing of sense of place since all human experience necessarily occurs in settings which are perceived subjectively by individuals.

  • The Nansen Ski Club a Legacy of Service
    THE NANSEN SKI CLUB A LEGACY OF SERVICE BY LOU DZIERZAK In the early 1920s, members voted to change the name to honor Fridtjof Nansen, a 19th century Norwegian Arctic explorer and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Nansen is best known for leading the fi rst crossing of Greenland, on skis, in 1888 and exploring the region near the North Pole. In January 1929, Nansen’s visit to the city of Berlin and the club was greeted with welcoming ceremonies and a parade. Decades later, the Nansen name remains, but the club’s original mission has broadened to include people of all backgrounds interested in cross country skiing. “The club was organized to bring skiing to the next generation,” says Doug Huntley, club vice president. “Leane and I are both parents of kids we are teaching to ski. The club is not so much for the people who are in the club now, but to bring skiing to the next generation. That’s our focus.” The Nansen Ski Club was incorporated in the 1940s. Today, club offi cials are completing requirements to become a 501(c) 3 nonprofi t organization. Change is a constant in the club’s timeline. In 1936, in partnership with the city of Berlin and the National Youth Administration, the club built a 171-foot ski jump. The largest of its kind when it opened, the Nansen ski jump held that title in the eastern half of the United States for over 50 years. In 1938, the ski hill hosted the Olympic trials. The jump closed There are dozens of Nordic ski clubs in 1988.
