Sprague Memorial Foundation John Christie Maine Historical Society Joe Cushing Saddleback Mountain Cate & Richard Gilbane Dave Irons Ski Museum of Maine Bruce Miles Sugarloaf Mountain Ski Club Roland O’Neal Sunday River Isolated Outposts of Maine Skiing 1870 to 1930 In the annals of New England skiing, the state of Maine was both a leader and a laggard. e rst historical reference to the use of skis in the region dates back to 1871 in New Sweden, where a colony of Swedish immigrants was induced to settle in the untamed reaches of northern Aroostook County. e rst booklet to oer instruction in skiing to appear in the United States was printed in 1905 by the eo A. Johnsen Company of Portland. Despite these early glimmers of skiing awareness, when the sport began its ascendancy to popularity in the 1930s, the state’s likeliest venues were more distant, and public land ownership less widespread, than was the case in the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont, and ski area development in those states was consequently greater.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Winter Breeze
    The Southeast Breeze Quarterly newsletter of the Appalachian Mountain Club, Southeastern Massachusetts Chapter Winter 2011/2012 — December, January, February View from the Chair By Jim Plouffe, Chapter Chair It‘s been one year; one year since I accepted the position as Chapter Chair for the Chapter. It is the ultimate of volunteer positions, in this type of club. While some volunteers give up a Saturday here or there and some volunteers lead a hike or a bike or a paddle, once in a while, this position, as Chapter Chair, has me running regular meetings, planning club wide events, coordinating weekend events, attending other meetings, annual dinners, retreats, and many other things that take up time. The work as a Chapter Chair goes beyond these ―time taking‖ events and includes the time it takes to prepare agendas, write articles, and collect paperwork and other less noticeable but important tasks that take place behind the scenes. I tell you this, not to pat myself on the back, because I don‘t really need the pat on the back. I enjoy doing this type of work and find it rewarding just to see that I can make a difference in my microcosm. I have told you this because last night I sat in a room with ―my‖ Executive Board and conducted a meeting that will hopefully bring this Chapter forward in the year 2012. At this meeting, I was looking around and realized that for every minute I spend planning, executing and attending my meetings and events, the people in front of me, acting in their volunteer capacity, spent an equal amount of time doing their best to try and achieve the same goals and intentions that I strive to accomplish.

  • 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.
