Doll Club & Movie Night LANCASTER—On Friday September 20 at 6pm the Weeks Me- morial Library will be holding a Doll Club event. We will begin the evening by making sleep masks and then we will watch the movie based on the American Girl Doll of the Year: Saige. Snacks will be provided and children (and dolls) are welcome to wear their paja- mas. To register for this event please contact Ronnie Zajac, Youth File photo Services Librarian, at 788-3352 or email: [email protected]. Former Whitefield School assistant principal Janet Steinert reached the end of the Appalachian Trail (AT) at the summit of Mt. Katahdin in Maine with her husband Bob, but has decided to forego making up the gap from Palmerton, Penn., to Gorham that she left when she returned home to fight off an infection set off by a spider bite. She’d ramped those “gap” miles in earlier years as a section hiker. This photo was taken in late March at WES, shortly before Steinert started her odyssey.

Courtesy photo (LEFT) Janet Steinert posed for the traditional photograph atop Mount Katahdin in Baxter State Park, Me. She’s wearing the same Whitefield Wilderness Explorers T-shirt that she had worn 5½ months ago on her first day as an AT thru-hiker when she reached the top of Springer Mountain, Ga. She and her husband Bob were pelted with rain, wind, and occasional hail as they hiked up to Katahdin’s summit. Steinert e-mailed, “Although a harrowing experience, it was one also filled with joy!”

The 10-member county delegation is charged with deciding whether tax dollars should be spent to ready them for new purposes or whether these buildings should be sold, rented, or possibly ripped down. The first such session was held last Wednesday in West Stewartstown.

Photo by Edith Tucker Chef Jonathan Saiff of Moultonborough, who cooks at the Omni Bretton Arms in Bretton Woods, whipped up a wonderful heirloom tomato soup with cheddar foam plus a delicious appetizer as his contest entries. Ticket holders had a chance to sample both chefs’ offerings, all made from local ingredients. Photo by Edith Tucker Julie Moran of Colebrook, executive director of the North Country Farmers Co-op, said that the group is raising money to buy a refrig- erated truck in which to make deliveries on its 200-mile delivery run. The “horrible” weather this summer — first wet and then hot and sticky — meant that net sales were only $25,000, well off the hoped- for $125,000. She thanked everyone for their hard work and support.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Wednesday, September 18, 2013 Coös County Democrat B33 ••• Spartans bust up Eagles By Jonathan Benton [email protected] GROVETON — The Regoinal boys gave Grovteton their larg- est loss differntial of the season on Sept. 10 with a 5-0 shutout. The Spartans got the ball rolling with 8:56 into the first half on a Timmy Voigt goal and assisted by Ethan Call. Call from outside the 18 sent a cross to Voigt who took a 14-yard- shot to the low far side in order to shake the netting. Voigt went on to score White Mountains’ second goal as well off a corner-kick at 13:51 in. The kick was taken by Jake Nel- son which went right over the Groveton defense and over to Voigt who got a head on it and was able to rebound the ball off a full-back and into the goal. The hits just kept on com- ing for the Spartans who were consistently beating Groveton to the ball and played keep away with controlled passing. At 15:10 in Cole Hatfield and
