White Mountain National Forest Supervisor Tom Wagner said he hasn’t seen the changes and had no comment. The planning board has yet to give final approval to the changes. If that happens they would still need the approval of the County Commissioners as well as Coos County delegation. The proposed changes are expected to be posted on the county’s website soon. The public hearing is scheduled during a meeting that will begin at 6 p.m. Aug. 2 at the North Country Resource Center in Lancaster.

Friday, July 14, 2017 The Record 13 The Frost Place Celebrates 40th Anniversary This Month

FRANCONIA — The Frost Place will celebrate its 40th anniversary July 21 - 23, 2017 with a series of poetry readings and community events. This summer also marks the centennial of the time Robert Frost lived with his family in the 19th-century farmhouse on Ridge Road in Franconia. The weekend-long celebration is expected to draw many visitors from the local area and the greater New England and Northeast region. Highlights of the celebration include: ● Friday, July 21st – Evening poetry readings by Charles Simic and Nikky Finney and community reception at The Frost Place, followed by a cake and champagne toast. ● Saturday, July 22nd – Afternoon poetry readings by The Frost Place Lat- in@ and Pardlo fellows Charif Shanahan, Diana Delgado, Willy Palomo, Javier Zamora, and Gerardo Pacheco Matus, followed by a wine-and-cheese reception. ● Saturday evening performance of A.M. Dolan’s play This Verse Business by Emmy Award-winning actor Gordon Clapp. ● Sunday, July 23rd – Read-a-thon featuring prominent poets, local residents, and children reading Robert Frost poems in the Henry Holt Barn at The Frost Place. Audience members are encouraged to read a favorite Frost poem. Since its founding in 1977, when the town of Franconia purchased Frost’s former home and the surrounding property, The Frost Place has served as a museum and center for poetry and the arts. The house is open to the public from May to October, allowing visitors to see where America’s most beloved poet lived and worked from 1915—1920. The house also serves as summer living quarters for an annually selected poet-in-residence to work and live in. A short poetry trail through Frost’s apple orchard and woods behind the house allows visitors to wander from poem Cyan to poem. The barn, in which Frost kept his dairy cow and of the chickens, is open daily as a gift shop and functions as a venue Topic Town Magenta for regular poetry readings in the evenings.
