  • By Keane Southard Program Notes
    An Appalachian Trail Symphony: New England (Symphony No. 1) by Keane Southard Program notes: An Appalachian Trail Symphony: New England (Symphony No. 1) for Orchestra was begun during my hike of the 734-mile New England portion of the Appalachian Trail (June 11, 2016-August 26, 2016) and completed in late March 2017. The symphony was commissioned by a consortium of orchestras throughout New England in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the completion of the trail, which stretches over approximately 2,200 miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. I grew up in central Massachusetts, but a few years before I was born my father was a graduate student at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, through which the Appalachian Trail runs after it crosses the Connecticut River from Vermont into New Hampshire. (I actually composed the majority of the symphony in Hanover, with the AT lying only a few hundred feet away in the woods.) They loved living in New Hampshire, and when my siblings and I were young they took us on so many camping and weekend trips around New Hampshire and Vermont. These trips instilled in me a love of the outdoors and this region as well as made me aware of the AT itself. While we didn't do much hiking on those trips, I was captivated by the idea of one day hiking this legendary trail. When I later started to get serious about composing, I thought it would be wonderful to hike the trail and then write a piece of music about the experience some day.

  • Easton Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2016
    This Plan integrates the following: Hazard Mitigation Plan Update (FEMA) Community Wildfire Protection Plan (DRED) January 25, 2016 Final Plan – For Town Adoption Prepared for the Town of Easton and NH Homeland Security & Emergency Management By The Easton Planning Team With assistance from Mapping and Planning Solutions Easton Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2016 “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything. There is a very great distinction because when you are planning for an emergency you must start with this one thing: The very definition of "emergency" is that it is unexpected, therefore it is not going to happen the way you are planning.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN DEFINITIONS ”A natural hazard is a source of harm or difficulty created by a meteorological, environmental, or geological event.” “Hazard mitigation is any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards (44CFR 201.2). Hazard mitigation activities may be implemented prior to, during, or after an event. However, it has been demonstrated that hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive, long-term plan that is developed before a disaster occurs.” (Source: Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide, FEMA, October 1, 2011) Plan Prepared and Authored By June E.

  • Popular Measurement 2 1
    Measuring Mountains Ryan Bowles Computer Adapetive Technologies Ryan Bowles at end of trail. I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail in the spring and summer of 1997. I started in Georgia on Springer Mountain on March 16 and finished in Maine on top of Mount Katahdin on August 6. The Appalachian Trail is a footpath, 2160 miles long, running through woods and fields, along ridgetops and streams, through 14 states. The Trail goes up and down over many mountains, ranging in elevation from 142 feet above sea level on the Hudson River in New York, to 6643 feet on Clingman's Dome on the border of North Carolina and Ten- nessee. Every year over 2000 people attempt to hike the entire Trail in one season, a feat known as a thru-hike . Only about 10 percent are successful. Many different kinds of people try to thru-hike the Trail: old and young, fit and overweight, factory workers and company executives. Within a few weeks, though, these differences have disappeared and everyone is in nearly perfect shape. Even so, thru-hikers' perceptions about how difficult it is to climb a mountain differ because of such vari- ables as weather, tiredness, and pack weight. I was curious about the difficulty of the mountains along the Appalachian Trail, but had no way to remove these idiosyncrasies, until I came across Rasch analysis. I asked 60 people who had hiked the entire Appala- chian Trail to rate the difficulty of twenty mountains scattered Ryan and another hiker SPRING 1999 POPULAR MEASUREMENT 1 9 Mount Katahdin Bigelow Mountain Saddleback Mountain Mahoosuc Arm Wildcat Mountain South Kinsman Mountain Mount Moosilauke Stratton Mountain Mount Greylock Bear Mountain Connecticut Bear Mountain New York Kittatinny Mountain Blue Mountain Peters Mountain Pennsylvania The Priest Peters Mountain Virginia Roan Mountain E Shuckstack Mountain O Cheoah Bald Blood Mountain P Author at a high point in his journey L along the length of the Trail.
