Granite State Called Safest in Nation Third Year in a Row….New Hampshire has been named the safest state in the nation for the third year in a row. In a recently released report, Washington based CQ Press announced its national crime rankings. They said that Gov. John Lynch has worked with the attorney general, police chiefs and lawmakers to better protect children by passing a tough sexual predator law, increasing the state police and the number of state prosecutors. Lynch says, “the state’s distinction as the safest is a part of what makes it a great place to live and work and would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of the men and women of New Hampshire law enforcement.” ‘Most Livable’ for the Sixth Time….Also named by CQ Press, New Hampshire is the “Most Livable” out of the 50 states for the sixth year in a row! The rankings are based on a list of 44 factors, including median household income, crime rates, business tax climate, employment, health, environment and education. The 2008 Most Livable State award is based on the same 44 factors used to determine last year’s award; factors the editors believe reflect a state’s basic quality of life. It takes into account a broad range of economic, educational, health-oriented, public safety, and environmental statistics to determine a state’s “Livability Rating.” Each state’s ranking for the 44 categories were averaged to yield its final score. Data used was for the most recent year in which comparable numbers are available from most states. All factors are given equal weight, and states with no data available for a given category are ranked based only on their other remaining factors. CQ Press issues six rankings annually, including Healthiest State, Safest State, Safest City/Metro Area, Smartest State and Most Improved State. NH #1 in Child Health Nationally… (Associated Press) New Hampshire again ranks #1 nationally in an annual survey on children’s well-being. The Annie E. Casey Foundation released its report on how the 50 states fared in 10 categories of children’s health. In composite rankings for all indicators, New Hampshire ranked highest, as it has in eight of the last nine years. This year, it was followed by Minnesota and Vermont. Mississippi ranked last. “That’s an incredible record, and it says a lot about how well kids fare in this state,” said Ellen Fineberg, president of the Children’s Alliance of New Hampshire, a nonprofit group that does research on children in the state.

This gave rise to a remarkable city built by immigrants who came to work here from all over the world, creating a rich legacy of diversity, architecture and history. Natives do not pronounce the name of their city in the same way as the German city - it is pronounced 'Burrrrr-lin." Today, the paper industry is a part of history, but lives on at the Northern Forest Heritage Park and the Brown House Museum. The Northern Forest Heritage Park is a 3-acre site along the Androscoggin River, where a full- size replica of a logging camp has been developed. An amphitheater alongside the river is where a number of programs and events take place in the summer. Many of those events pay tribute to the cultural heritage. Downtown Berlin has some wonderful old architecture - Classical Revival can be seen at the Holiday Center (27 Green Square); Colonial Revival in the Berlin City Bank (9 Main St.) and City Hall, an example of Georgian Revival architecture. Visit our Main Street Shops where you will find outstanding customer service and little bit of everything: http://www.shopinberlin.com. Just a few miles northwest of downtown Berlin you will find one of the newest additions to the state park system. Jericho Mountain State Park provides opportunities for miles of trail riding for ATV, UTV, trail bike, and snowmobile enthusiasts alike. Please click on the link below. www.nhstateparks.org Page - 4 - of 21 In the winter, snowmobilers fan out on local trails that connect with corridors that can take them to points in Canada and Maine. The city's amenities are also accessible in the winter via a snowmobile trail that accesses the downtown restaurants & grocery stores.

One of the popular destinations in Dummer is the Pontook Reservoir, an impoundment of the Androscoggin River, where bald eagles, loons and osprey can be seen. If you are very lucky, there may be a moose swimming across the water. The Great Northern Moose Lodge, on Route 16 at the foot of 13-Mile Woods, is a great base to head out for nearby adventures or to just relax and answer the question posed by folks at the lodge: "Have you ever really heard silence?"

Bragg Library: 482-7720, Hours: Monday, 6-8 p.m.; Wednesday through Saturday, 8-noon. In the far northeastern corner of New Hampshire, Errol is an outpost for sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts. About seven miles east of the village is Lake Umbagog, a clear and pristine lake straddling the Maine border. Its home to all sorts of wildlife - moose, osprey, bald eagles and loons - and because it is largely undeveloped and forever preserved, it offers a true back-to- nature experience. Umbagog Lake State Park, on the New Hampshire side, offers 35 campsites with some amenities and another 34 remote sites accessible only by boat. A boat launch and canoe rentals are available. Visitors can get outfitted for their adventures, from fishing to snowmobiling to camping, right in town, at L.L. Cote Outdoor Sports, at the junction of Routes 16 and 26. Whether you are just passing through or it's your journey's end, pay a visit to the store and see the white moose on display.

  • Passing Through: the Allure of the White Mountains
    Passing Through: The Allure of the White Mountains The White Mountains presented nineteenth- century travelers with an American landscape: tamed and welcoming areas surrounded by raw and often terrifying wilderness. Drawn by the natural beauty of the area as well as geologic, botanical, and cultural curiosities, the wealthy began touring the area, seeking the sublime and inspiring. By the 1830s, many small-town tav- erns and rural farmers began lodging the new travelers as a way to make ends meet. Gradually, profit-minded entrepreneurs opened larger hotels with better facilities. The White Moun- tains became a mecca for the elite. The less well-to-do were able to join the elite after midcentury, thanks to the arrival of the railroad and an increase in the number of more affordable accommodations. The White Moun- tains, close to large East Coast populations, were alluringly beautiful. After the Civil War, a cascade of tourists from the lower-middle class to the upper class began choosing the moun- tains as their destination. A new style of travel developed as the middle-class tourists sought amusement and recreation in a packaged form. This group of travelers was used to working and commuting by the clock. Travel became more time-oriented, space-specific, and democratic. The speed of train travel, the increased numbers of guests, and a widening variety of accommodations opened the White Moun- tains to larger groups of people. As the nation turned its collective eyes west or focused on Passing Through: the benefits of industrialization, the White Mountains provided a nearby and increasingly accessible escape from the multiplying pressures The Allure of the White Mountains of modern life, but with urban comforts and amenities.

  • 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.
