The additions to the Wave are titled John and Henry, named for the patriarchs of the Kendall family who have donated 70 percent of the land for the trails. There are six contributing land owners in total. Towards the end of the tour, Thom points to a narrow, tiny track in the woods that sports a few blown down trees. “Way back, all the trails looked like this” he says. But he also acknowl- edges that the new trails are not some super highway, either. “I know that peo- ple here are interested in exploring the forest, not skiing around on a groomed track.” The new homologated course at Jackson Ski Touring Center incorpo- rates the needs for both racers and recreational skiers alike, while still maintaining the beauty of the New Hampshire woods.

    Corso di Laurea magistrale in Lingue e civiltà dell'Asia e dell'Africa Mediterranea Tesi di Laurea L’intertestualità mediatica del Johnny’s Jimusho Relatore Ch. Prof.ssa Maria Novielli Correlatore Ch. Prof.ssa Paola Scrolavezza Laureando Myriam Ciurlia Matricola 826490 Anno Accademico 2013 / 2014 A papà. RINGRAZIAMENTI Ringrazio la mia famiglia: mio papà, che per anni e anni mi ha ascoltata mentre parlavo di Johnny’s , Yamapi, “Jin-l’odioso ” e di Giappone e passioni. Per aver sognato con me, sostenuto le mie scelte e aver avuto più fiducia in me di quanta ne abbia io. Alla mamma che mi ha costretta a giudicare oggettivamente le mie scelte, anche quando non volevo, e mi ha aiutata in cinque anni di studi fuori sede. Le mie cugine, Jessica, per la sua amicizia e Betty, per i suoi consigli senza i quali questa tesi oggi sarebbe molto diversa. Ringrazio mio nonno, per le sue premure e la sua pazienza quando dicevo che sarebbero passati in un baleno, quei mesi in Giappone o quell’anno a Venezia. La nonna, per il suo amore e le sue attenzioni. Le piccole Luna e Sally, per avermi tenuto compagnia dormendo sulle mie gambe quando studiavo per gli esami e per i mille giochi fatti insieme. Ringrazio le mie coinquiline: Ylenia, Caterina, Alessandra, Dafne, Veronica M. e Veronica F. Per le serate passate a guardare il Jersey Shore o qualche serie TV assurda e tutte le risate, la camomilla che in realtà è prosecco, le pulizie con sottofondo musicale, da Gunther a Édith Piaf. Per le chiacchierate fatte mentre si cucinava in quattro in una cucina troppo piccola, per le ciambelle alle sei del mattino prima di un esame e tutte le piccole gentilezze quotidiane.

  • Hazard Mitigation Plan Final 2020
    This plan integrates the following: Hazard Mitigation Plan Update (FEMA) Community Wildfire Protection Plan (DNCR) November 5, 2020 Final Prepared for the Town of Greenfield and NH Homeland Security & Emergency Management By The Greenfield Planning Team With assistance from Mapping and Planning Solutions Greenfield Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2020 “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.

  • Mirror Lake Hosts a Private Seaplane Base in Tuftonboro
    Vol XXII, No. 4 A Quarterly Newsletter Published by the Tuftonboro Association Fall, 2020 Mirror Lake hosts a private seaplane base in Tuftonboro If you live on Mirror Lake you have undoubtedly seen the lovely red and white 1956 Cessna 180 amphibious float, also known as a seaplane, take off and land. T.R. Wood, a Kingswood High School graduate and his family moved to the Tuftonboro side of Mirror Lake years ago seeking a slower pace after decades on Lake Winnipesaukee. T.R. is a third-generation pilot and his near-teenage son is well on his way to becoming the fourth generation in the air. T.R. is quite proud that his son already exhibits some of the skills of older, more experienced pilots. The family has a long history with planes starting with T.R.’s grandfather who flew Consolidated PBY Catalinas during WW II as he patrolled the Atlantic and Caribbean searching for submarines. His pilot skills were also in use throughout the Korean War. Both T.R. and his father, Tom Wood, have been commercial pilots. The history of flight in popular literature began with the Wright brothers’ famous exploit on December 17, 1903 four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Seven years later Henri Fabre piloted the first seaplane in Marseilles, France. By 1911, Glenn Curtiss, the founder of the U.S. aircraft industry, had developed the Curtiss Model D. His Model H series T.R. Wood’s fiance Alison, along with their dog Champ, are perched on the pontoon was heavily used by the British Royal Navy during of T.R.’s 1956 Cessna, which in other seasons may wear wheels or wheels with skiis.
