The chase ended when Maine State Police forced the vehicle to stop. Along the way, the teen drove through a back yard, crashed a fence, struck two vehicles and managed to avoid three sets of spike mats. Berlin Police Capt. Jeff Lemoine said police received a call at 4:39 p.m. on July 5 that a 2001 Chevrolet pickup truck, belonging to Steven Bolduc of Dummer, had been stolen from the convenience store lot at 120 East Mason St. The name of the suspect is being withheld because she is a minor. According to a release from Maine State Police, the truck was spotted early Monday evening traveling east through a construc- tion zone on Route 2 in Bethel, Maine, where it struck a barrier and another vehicle.

  • Fire in the White Mountains 61
    The original table with metric values and the original color figures have been appended to the end of this document. Correction: An error was introduced into the text at some point during production. The bottom of p. 69 states “May 1903 was extremely dry; with less than two inches of precipitation, it is the driest May and third driest month ever recorded (1893-1997) at Bethlehem, New Hampshire.” The correct precipitation for May 1903 is 0.75 cm (0.3 inches). W g E o Fire W b in the e c White Mountains m g p A Historical Perspective a Christine L. Goodale he White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) owes its existence, Tin part, to its fiery history. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, debris from unprecedented logging fueled fires across the region. This disrup- tion inflamed public ire, and concern over the potential loss of these beloved forests—and, influentially, concern by downstream manufac- turers that deforestation would dry up their river power—eventually brought about the Weeks Act in 1911. The Weeks Act authorized the federal purchase of forestland and established the WMNF. The public outrage at logging-era fires contrasts with public appreciation of the scenic side effects of some fires long past: enhanced views of and from such peaks as Chocorua, Crawford, Moat, Welch, Hale, the Sugarloaves, and the Baldfaces. On these and other mountains, forest fires cleared the low summits of view- blocking trees, and subsequent erosion washed away much of the soil that might have supported regrowth. Elsewhere, picturesque stands of paper birch owe their origin to fires from a century ago.

  • Vacation on the White Mountain National Forest
    How Campers Can Help Protect the National Forest First of all, obtain your camp-fire permit from the Forest Supervisor, Gorham, N. H., or from any Forest officer; then observe the following rules: Build your camp fire near water, never against a log or tree. Be sure it is out before you leave it. When you throw away lighted matches, cigars, cigarettes, or pipe heels, STEP ON THRU. Dead and down trees, alder, pin cherry, striped and moose maple, may be used for fuel. LEAVE YOUR CAMP GROUNDS NEAT. THINK OF THE NEXT FELLOW. Bury your tin cans and burn garbage and papers—don't throw them in the streams. If you discover a fire and can not put it out, notify the nearest Forest officer or telephone the Forest Supervisor, Gorham, N. H. District rangers are located at Gorham, Woodstock, Bart- lett, and Pierce Bridge, N. H. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1920 United States Department of Agriculture Contribution from the Forest Service Department Circular 100 William B. Greeley, Forester Vacation on the White Mountain National Forest HE cloud-piercing peaks, the lakes and streams and waterfalls, the wind­ swept ridges, and the deep woods trails make the White Mountain National Forest a land of heart's desire to the lover of the outdoors. In summer the hiker and mountain climber, the camper and fisherman may take his pick of trail and cliff, camp ground and trout stream; and the camera hunter may shoot scenes of beauty of every variety from peaceful valley to granite peak. Even the motorist will find convenient camping places and vantage points with a lookout over wild forest and mountain scenery.

  • 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 17-acre natural area is maintained by the Campton Conservation Commission and includes several wetland areas, a regenerated pasture, roughly 1,000 feet of riparian habitat, and mixed hardwood/coniferous forest habitat. The natural area also features aspects of Campton’s rich historical legacy. To protect the vegetation and minimize disturbance to wildlife, we ask that you observe the following guidelines: 1. Please stay on the trails. 2. Please access the forest only near the kiosk along Route 3. 3. Foot travel is welcome, but bicycles, motorized vehicles, and horses are prohibited. 4. Please practice low-impact, day use activities; do not disturb plants, animals, or rocks, and pack out any trash. 5. Hunting, trapping, camping, and fires are prohibited. 6. Dogs must be leashed at all times. Scientific research is encouraged with prior approval by the Campton Conservation Commission.
