Once the pit stops had cycled through, Johnson was back out in front, with Gordon, Kurt Busch, Stewart and Kasey Kahne rounding out the top five. As the race passed the halfway mark and became official, another yellow flag flew, this time for debris on the back- stretch. Gordon came out of the pits first, despite a close call with the jack man for Regan Smith’s car. The restart was once again the focal point, as Gordon, Kurt Busch and Johnson went three-wide quickly, but Gordon took the top spot and Johnson slipped back a bit, giving Kurt Busch, Earnhardt, Jr. and the rest of the top runners a chance to challenge for the lead. Paul Menard’s spin in turn four on lap 171 brought out another caution flag and the ensuing restart proved to be a crucial point in the race, as Earnhardt, Jr. started slow, forcing Martin Truex, Jr. to check up a bit. Kyle Busch hit Truex, Jr.’s car, and the crash collected Jeff Burton, Casey Mears, Kevin Harvick, Conway’s own.

IT’S BEEN A WEEK OF UPS and downs on the Saco River. Last Tuesday the river crested in Conway just under seven feet, which is about two feet below flood stage. This took many folks by surprise. Mother Nature has a way of doing that, often when you least expect it. Many people take the Saco for grant- ed and expect it will always be the gen- tle, slow moving river it usually is dur- ing the summer months. It’s a similar misconception the ill-informed have about hiking Mount Washington. I mean, it’s just a few hours hike, what’s the big deal? This type of complacency and lack of preparedness has resulted in serious problems on the hiking trails and on the river. The other problem is, many people do not respect the power of moving water. A river does not have to be a churning froth, boiling with whitewater, to be dangerous. A strong, flat-water current can be just as deadly. This seem- ingly more benign appearance is how the Saco presents along many segments, especially below Conway. So, as I often say, “know before you go.” You have to understand the potential hazards of some outdoor activities. If it’s a water based activity, one critical part of your trip preparation is checking cur- rent conditions and weather forecasts. Don’t assume conditions are just like the last time. Remember, Mother Nature could play a trick on you at any time. The Saco often recedes quickly, espe- cially above the Old Saco in Fryeburg. Below the “Old Course,” as it’s called, levels will likely remain higher for a while. There are not many beaches for camping. I recommend staying at a riverside camping facility for a few rea- sons. First, due to the lack of beaches, it’s convenient. Usually, campgrounds will have picnic tables, fire rings and facilities of some type. Should we get additional rain and the river comes up, you are in a place where egress from the river is much easier. Many campgrounds on the Saco have road access. So, if you have to cut your trip short you can get to a vehicle or a vehicle can come to you. There is still some great paddling to be done on the Saco. Just be aware of conditions and respect the river. Who knows, we may even have some sun around here soon! More river information and updated conditions can be found at sacobound.com or call 447-2177. Be safe and Happy Paddling! ▲

WASHINGTON VALLEY REAL ESTATE LISTINGS Memorial offers state-of-the-art facility Heart health and wellness program at Memorial Hospital NORTH CONWAY — Most mornings you will find a large and enthusiastic crowd gathered in Memorial Hospital’s lobby waiting for their exercise class to start. They are enjoying the recently renovated Cardiac Rehab facility which, according to program coordinator Tanya Carbonaro, RN, has been enlarged and redesigned, with addition- al equipment purchased to create a state-of-the-art facility. Having been with Memorial’s cardiac program since its inception in 1994, it’s easy to understand Carbonaro’s enthusi- asm. The exercise area is bright and airy, with mirrors, flat screen TVs, a wide range of treadmills and other exercise machines, plus a free-weight and stretching area and shower facilities. On a recent Monday morning, as lively music played, more than a dozen people were working out, all under the watchful eyes of Registered Nurses.

The Mt. Washington Valley Arts (Courtesy Photo) Association (MWVAA) is holding its July “Artist of the Month” Reception on Friday, July 3. The reception is open to the public and is held at the MWV Visual Arts Center in Norcross Place (next to RSN) in North Conway from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., with live entertainment provided by Mountain Top Music Center. Four Kennett High School seniors have been selected as July “Artists of the Month.” Eliza Dubie, Hillary Weber, Kayleigh Corrigan, and Richie Wentworth will be at the reception discussing their art and the process used to arrive at their current work. According to Sarah Eastman, art teacher at KHS, “All of the students have been in art classes at Kennett High School for the last four years. Many of them will be studying art in college. A few are not, but will always incorporate their love of art in their lives. Student statements for each of the artists will be displayed beside their art work and students will be on hand for discussion. For questions regarding the appli- cation process for Artist of the Month or about the reception, call 356- ARTS (2787).

Fifth rendition of original 1852-built hotel to open in June, 2011 Glen House Hotel to be built at the Mt. Washington Auto Road PINKHAM NOTCH — The Mt. Washington Auto Road has announced plans to construct the Glen House hotel at the base of Mt. Washington. Continuing the historic tradition of hospitality and recreation in Pinkham Notch, the hotel is the fifth rendition of the Glen House, the first being completed in 1852. The com- pany, family owned since 1901, plans to open the Glen House in June of 2011 to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the Mt. Washington Auto Road. The Glen House will be a full serv- ice hotel with approximately 80 rooms, which will include traditional rooms and one-bedroom suites. The hotel will be located on the hillside to the north of the existing Auto Road Lodge and will offer stunning views of the Presidential Mountains and the Great Gulf. The view and experience of being in the mountains will be the focal point of the hotel, and it will be fea- tured in the architecture of the hotel. The lobby, great room and dining room will all be open to the moun- tains. And no mountain hotel would be complete without a large terrace and veranda. The Glen House will also offer an indoor pool and spa, as well as conference facilities that will compliment existing facilities already located in the Auto Road Lodge. The Mt. Washington Auto Road has partnered with Acomb Ostendorf & Associates of Orlando, Fla., and Portland, Maine, for the planning and development of the project, with sig- nificant input from Olympia Group of Portland, Maine. Survey work is schedule to begin in July of 2009. The duration of construction will be approximately 15 months. Moving forward, the company will be working with design and general contracting firms from New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. The history of hotels in the Glen began in 1852 with the construction of the first Glen House. The railroad had paid for the construction of the road through Pinkham Notch to Gorham, and shortly thereafter a bri- dle path from the Glen to the summit of Mt. Washington was completed. A year later, the charter was granted to build the Carriage Road up Mt. Washington. Even though it took eight years for the road to be com- pleted, the lure of Mt. Washington had made the Glen House a popular destination. The first Glen House burned in 1884 but was rebuilt on an even grander scale, including the longest veranda in the world. Tragically, this hotel lasted only eight years before fire struck again. Two subsequent smaller Glen Houses served guests in winter and summer into the 1960s. Although conceptual in design at this stage, it is expected that the Glen House will embody the look and feel of a New England mountain lodge and be in keeping with the existing facilities, which include accents that

Page A32 - The Mountain Ear, Thursday, July 2, 2009 look to the past. The Glen House will also look to the future as it will be “green designed and built” per LEED standards. The Glen House will become an integral part of the offerings at the base of Mt. Washington. Along with the connection with the Mt. Washington Auto Road, which will offer packages for individual travelers and groups, Great Glen Trails will enhance the experience of lodging at the Glen House. A walking path will be constructed to the existing facilities in summer, and ski trails will connect Great Glen Trails and the Glen House in winter. And upon comple- tion, the Glen House will create 30 to 40 new full time jobs. ▲
