n the creativity center at the Mount Washington Valley Children’s Museum, young Andrew Meier leans forward in a little yellow chair, resting his wrists and tot-sized forearms on the green-topped table in front of him. He’s perched on the edge of the chair, his sneakers still several inches off the royal Iblue floor, in way only the young can find comfortable. At first glance one might think it’s the awkwardness of his posi- tion that has lightly furrowed his brow, but those eyebrows are not knitted in discomfort, but in concentration. Andrew has the fingers of both hands wrapped around a black marker. He’s decorated the white paper beneath the marker with the swirling lines of a budding artist. Unbeknownst to him, Andrew has captured the essence of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night. He’s also captured the essence of the museum. He is learning through playing, as he discovers how to manipu- late the marker, translating his idea of circles into the round shapes on his paper. By the front desk of the museum, three-year-old West Vaillant of North Conway is peering through a pair of binoculars at museum director Shelly Morin’s bracelet.

Grass does have its own set of issues, though, one being the remarkable heat decomposing clippings generate. Don’t burn your plants by surrounding them with new clippings. On the other hand, if you have weedy areas in the garden that you want to smother to sow later in the season it’s a wonder- ful place to stockpile freshly mown grass. Remember, too, that it is never a good idea to mulch with clippings from a lawn recently treated with “weed and feed” fertilizer, since the herbicide residue will do a number on your vegetables. Keep in mind that some veg- etables appreciate mulch more than others. Tomatoes, peppers and squash all suffer from an affliction referred to as “blossom Amy Watson end rot,” which occurs if there is Hearing Instrument Specialist insufficient moisture when NH #542 plants are setting fruit. Mulching helps keep the mois- ture level consistent and the soil temperature even. In addition, mulch keeps the tomatoes and squash up off the ground, pre- venting them from rotting. The other attraction, of course, is that organic mulches are superlative soil conditioners. Mulch prevents the hot, dry- ing sun from penetrating to the soil, so moisture doesn’t evapo- rate. At the same time, the min- erals and nutrients in the mulch are breaking down and leach- ing into the soil, fertilizing while keeping the weeds down. Better yet, something so good for the garden saves hours of labor by eliminating the need for weeding. ▲

The Mountain Ear, Thursday, July 1, 2010 - Page A19 As the Wheels Turn The Three Foot Rule - curse or cure? By Peter Minnich Contributing Writer ne of my favorite places to start rides is the Maine Visitor Information OCenter in Fryeburg, located just east of the NH state line. They have a big parking lot and nice potties. From there you can hop on Haleytown Road to ride south, or on Route 113 to ride north toward Evans Notch and the vast flat valley of the Old Saco River. Numerous rides, short and long, can be worked out using the maps in the DeLorme’s Maine Atlas and Gazetteer. Last Saturday we started from the Visitor Center for a 40-plus-mile out and back ride north to the Basin on Route 113. This involved riding Route 302 east a mile into town in order to get to Route 113. Route 302 is a heavy traf- fic road that climbs a short hill with no shoulder. Riders are forced out into the lane in a above: Saturday riders at Cold River Campground, ready for provocative test of the “Share the ride back to Fryeburg.

An ancient name, a beautiful place By John Harrigan Contributing Writer

ontook is a place-name of either Ameriscoggin or PCoashaukee origins refer- ring to a narrow, pinched place along the Androscoggin in Dummer, north of Berlin, where a drop in the river’s course created a long stretch of rapids. For anyone traveling in earlier times by canoe up from the flat waters above Berlin Falls, it meant a portage (carry), the first of many for anyone intending to travel on up to the big lakes and headwaters far above. In 1877 the first of a series of stone-and-log cribwork dams Pontook Dam along Route 16 north of Berlin sits at the site of a log-drive dam built in the 1800s.
