Groundbreaking celebrated with surprise announcement of $200,000 donation New Jackson Public Library-Trickey Barn Project is under way

JACKSON — The Jackson Public Library will make its new home in the reassembled 150-year-old Trickey Barn, which stood where the new Whitney Community Center is now located. Thanks to the gen- erosity of the local community and a recent anonymous gift of $200,000, the project is on or ahead of schedule. Monday’s [June 8] ground breaking ceremony marked the beginning of construction. Representatives of the library, the Jackson select- men, Friends of the Library and the Jackson Historical Society gathered in front of the Trickey Barn cupola for the long anticipated moment of groundbreaking. The cupola will return to its place on the rooftop when the barn frame and exterior are erected later this sum- mer and fall. The new library will be located on the former Gray’s Inn property near the jackson Town Offices. “We’re all so excited that we have a guaranteed “go ahead” for the project this year. Of course, we would never have gotten this far without the wonderful way the community has responded, with financial and in- kind support. This puts us well past the halfway mark towards our ultimate fundraising goal and means the barn is going up,” explained Allen Brooks, chairman of the Library Trustees. For more information about the new Jackson Public Library-Trickey Barn project, call 383-9466. ▲

The next year, he completed work on a home- made telescope, at the time the largest in New Hampshire. Steve eventually built three telescopes, mostly from sal- vaged materials, following instructions in books from the state library. The largest telescope required a spe- cial mirror, which Steve painstakingly ground and polished from a piece of obsidian. He and Ginny donated the observatory to Kimball Union Academy in 1982. The alumni magazine described his gift to the school as a tes- timony to his curiosity and ingenuity. During 39 years together, Ginny and Steve had dozens of cats. He fed and photographed the moths, spiders, birds, skunks, foxes, raccoons, deer, bears, and moose that wandered into his fauna- friendly yard. A dedicated phenologist, each spring he was often the first in town to spot returning red-winged blackbirds, indigo buntings, and orioles. He made footstools from tree stumps; birdhouses; and ingenious shelves, drawers and cabinets to hold books and seashells, his sand collection, and Ginny’s precious fan collection. He loved classical music, opera, the song Rooster Pooster and ballet. He enjoyed movies, both classic and contemporary, and was a great reader of science, phi- losophy, mysteries, biography, and clas- sics. Around town, he wore a signature outfit: a tattersall shirt with eyeglasses in the front pocket, khakis, a long-billed cap, and inexpensive sneakers. He kept a daily routine, distributing newspapers to neighbors and bones to local dogs, always with a cheery greeting. Steve Damon is survived by his wife Virginia; his daughter, Wendy Damon of Tamworth, and her husband Peter Case; his son Christopher Stephen Damon of Va.; his sister Patricia Niswander of Concord, and her hus- band Don; his step-daughter Suzanne Ganem of Conn.; grandchildren Sarah Damon of Virginia and Christina Damon of New York; and step-grand- children Christian Ganem of North Conway, Steven Ganem of Mass., and Alexandra Ganem of Conn.; as well as many nieces and nephews and several great-grandchildren. He was pre-deceased by his oldest child, Cynthia, in 1968; his brothers Harry Franklin (“Bus”) Damon, Jr. of Grand Rapids, Mich. and Herbert Shove Damon of New London, and his sister Katharine (Kay) Reed of North Conway.

The Mountain Ear, Thursday, June 11, 2009 - Page A23 As The Wheels Turn

As the Wheels Turn Riding the Upper Valley Valley

By Peter Minnich Contributing Writer ABOUT AN HOUR WEST OF the Valley, you’ll find some of the finest sce- nic back road riding in New England. A variety of loop rides from 25 to 100 miles can be found in the area between Route 93 and the Connecticut River, north of Orford and south of Groveton. The area is shown on the left half of the New Hampshire Bicycle Map White Mountain Region, available at N.H. information outlets such as the Scenic Vista in Intervale. The heart of this fine cycling region is Route 135 from Woodsville to Lancaster, a distance of about 40 miles of rolling, open farmland along the Connecticut River. Route 135 follows the river closely, often within sight of the water. At Littleton, it joins Route 18 coming from Waterford, Vt., and skirts along the scenic shores of Moore Reservoir, before heading north toward Dalton and Lancaster. In the last two weeks, I’ve ridden two 60-plus-mile loops along this river route. Both were fine rides. Two Saturdays ago, I rode a northerly loop, starting at the yellow bandstand in Twin Mountain, heading up Route 3 to Riding south on Lost Nation Road toward Lancaster, with the Kilkenny Mountains in the background. This is one of the finest back Whitefield. Unfortunately, about a mile road rides in the White Mountain area.

Fishing and bird watching abound along the lake that backs up all the way upstream to Gilman, Vt. Bald eagles nest in the area and are commonly sight- ed from the roads. From the 18-135 junction, it’s about 10.5 miles to down- town Littleton, much of it steady uphill. Main Street in Littleton is currently under some sort of heavy construction, so we turned right at the first traffic light (near the sign that says “No Right Turn”) and descended on Meadow Street to the Subway shop, where we devoured sandwiches and consumed quarts of icy liquids. After satisfying our fuel needs, we rode back east on Meadow Street, crossed the river on Industrial Park road, then turned left on Riverside Drive, crossed the RR track, and turned left on South Street, which took us east to Cottage Street (Route 302). This back way bypassed the road construction with no additional dis- tance. We turned right and climbed up past the old hospital, turned left by the Eastgate sign, and continued two miles east to the junction of 302 and 18-116. A sign on the right reads “Profile High School and White Mountain School,” Trad riders Swenson, Minnich, and McMurdo stop on Route 135, south of Littleton, to check out the view before heading east to pointing the way. We rode 18-116 Franconia. (Peter Minnich/Mountain Ear Photo) three-and-a-half miles south to Franconia Village, for a total loop dis- tance of 63 miles. Lancaster.
