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 people here are interested in exploring the forest, not skiing around on a groomed track.” The new homologated course at Jackson Ski Touring Center incorporates the needs for both racers and recreational skiers alike, while still maintaining the beauty of the New Hampshire woods. And as the fifth ever homologated race course in the country, Jackson Ski Touring has opened up the possibility for much more professional Thom Perkins, executive director of Jackson Ski Touring Foundation, Bengt Karlsson, Board of JSTF, Bob Kantack, President of JSTF, cross-country skiing to come. ▲ Stan Bodkins, Board of JSTF and Seth Burnell of HEB Engineering.

Show support for Inspired Learning Curriculum Six State Legislator Candidates Turn Out at Waldorf School Grand Opening left: On Saturday, Oct. 25, White Mountain Waldorf School held a ribbon-cutting event to mark the opening of the school’s new 75-acre campus. (Courtesy Photo)

ALBANY — On Saturday, Oct. 25, White Mountain Waldorf School held a ribbon-cutting event with an audience of more than 200 people to mark the opening of the school’s new 75-acre campus on Route 16, just south of Conway Village. State representatives turned out in force to show support for the value of quality education. District Judge “Bud” Martin, a candidate for State Senate, delivered remarks applauding the school on its unique hands-on learning approach. Other candidates present included Tom Buco, Syndi White, Bob Bridgham, Dan Bacon and John Gallus. “There is nothing more valuable for our students today than developing critical thinking skills,” Martin said, “This school, the White Mountain Waldorf School, has critical thinking at the core of its mission and that is to be highly commended.” The Waldorf School’s new campus development was supported by more than 200 donors, including individuals, families, businesses and foundations. “From the largest gift of $250,000 to the smallest gift of $10, each donation represents an invaluable commitment to education,” said Waldorf School Capital Campaign Chair Virginia Nossiff. Gibson Center Executive Director George Cleveland praised the community of supporters for their tireless enthusiasm and teamwork. “It’s rare that you find such a passionate and committed group of volunteers,” Cleveland said. “The parents of the children enrolled in this school are involved and contributing to our greater community in so many rich and wonderful ways.” Soon the students themselves will be grown and contributing to the region their skills, thinking and talents. The school serves 137 students age 2-13. In 2010, the school will graduate its first eighth grade class. Many of those middle school students will go on to Kennett High School where the educa- tors there will have their first experience with students who have been taught via Waldorf methods. The Waldorf School uses an Inspired Learning approach which activates all the senses. Core subjects like math, science and literature are brought vividly to life through movement, art, and rich, dramatic hands-on experiences. This creates deep, meaningful learning that prepares children to meet the changing demands of today’s world as intellectual thinkers. In addition to a rigorous core curriculum, Waldorf students learn two foreign languages and begin formal musical instruction in string instruments in the fourth grade via a partnership program which brings Mountain Top Music Center instructors on-site to the school. “It is an exciting time in our school’s history and for the region as a whole,” said Vikki Thelemarck, Waldorf Development and Public Relations Director. Waldorf Education has an 89-year track record and there are more than 800 Waldorf schools globally, with 182 in North America. For more information, call the school at 447-3168 or visit the web site at www.wmws.org or visit www.whywaldorfworks.org. ▲

The nine-day moose hunt ended on Sunday, Oct. 26. In 2007, by comparison, hunters took 482 moose (with 675 permits issued) for a statewide success rate of 71 percent. This year, the success rate in four of the six regions was higher than last year. The Connecticut Lakes region saw a success rate of 81 percent, the North region had 83 percent success; the White Mountains region had a 47 percent success rate; the Central region, 68 percent success; the Southwest region saw 45 percent success; and in the Southeast region, 38 percent of hunters got their moose. “The reduction in the success rate in the White Mountain region is primarily due to the introduction of antlerless-only permits in this region for the first time,” said Kristine Rines, Moose Project Leader for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. “This is a difficult region to hunt because of limited access and clearcuts. Adding restrictions on what moose hunters can take makes it even more challenging, so we expected a reduction.” In 2007, the success rate for the White Mountain region was 62 percent. In 2008, it was 47 percent. The other region that saw a lower success rate than last year was the Connecticut Lakes region, with 81 percent of hunters getting a moose. While down a bit, the season’s results were not unusual for that area, according to Rines. In 2007, the Connecticut Lakes region saw an 88 percent success rate, but in 2006, it was 80 percent. Final figures for the 2008 moose season will be distributed when available. A 10-year comparison of regional success rates for the N.H. moose hunt is available at the fish and game website.

Valuable hands-on learning. Students of the Tamworth Learning Circles School “School to College” program recently took a hike along Boott Spur on the southeastern flank of Mt. Washington to study and develop a deeper understanding of the impact glaciers had in the high peaks. Accompanied by teacher Jamie Riel, students observed features such as cirques, glacier erratics, u- shaped valleys, examples of plucking, and many other geo- logic phenomena. Ultimately, students will produce a pictori- al tour of the impacts of glaciers on the Mount Washington Valley region that will be available at local libraries. Hands- on learning and field study are an integral part of the learning experience at TLC. In the photo, Alex Butcher-Nesbitt, Reid and Tucker Letarte rest atop Boott Spur before descending into the famous Tuckerman Ravine cirque.

Items feature Dennis Rano editorial cartoon from Conway Daily Sun Chamber to sell Steve Eastman T-shirts and posters

By Tom Eastman CONWAY — The World Mud Bowl Committee recently announced that the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce has agreed to help sell Mud Bowl’s commemorative Steve Eastman T-shirts and wall posters. The 8x10 poster and T-shirts (small, medium, large, X-tra large) are being sold for at chamber offices for $5 and $10, respectively. The poster and T-shirt show a cartoon penned by Dennis Rano, editorial cartoonist for the Conway Daily Sun. The cartoon ran in the Sun’s May 3 edi- tion following the funeral service and celebration of Steve Eastman’s life May 2 at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church and Cranmore Mountain Resort. The cartoon shows a smiling Eastman with a mud football under his angel wing. He is shown with St. Peter in heaven atop a cloud, with St. Peter saying, “Pray tell Mr. Eastman. How’d you get covered with mud up here?” In printing the wall posters and T- shirts, the World Mud Bowl Committee added Steve’s mantra to the bottom of the artwork: “Love everyone. Hold no grudges. Good deeds do count.” Rano donated his artwork; Amoskeag Beverages Inc., longtime sponsors of the World Mud Bowl, donated the cost of printing the shirts, and Minuteman Press North Conway paid for the print- co-founded the Mount Washington ing of the wall posters.

Week of Oct. 21 through 27 A little of this, a bit of that, but any weather now bodes of winter

By Mike Carmon Weather Observer Mount Washington Observatory THE WEEK STARTED OFF very wintry on the summit, but gradually trended towards the milder side as it came to a close. Morning freezing rain quickly changed to sleet and subsequently snow on Tuesday as low pressure passed through the area, sweeping in colder air as it came through. Temperatures dropped into the 20s on Tuesday night, but winds died off rather quickly, giving some relief of harsh wind chills. The sun rose Wednesday morning — although not visibly on the summit — to rime ice, snow, and zero visibility. Winds ramped up a bit through the day, while temperatures continued to drop into the teens, permitting low wind chill values to return. The snow gradually tapered off by afternoon, and the fog lifted in the nighttime hours, allowing for 120 mile visibility by the wee hours of Thursday morning. Strong Canadian high pressure began building in Thursday, ushering in drier air, resulting in crystal clear skies The General Wolfe and mild temperatures for the duration Holiday of the day.
