Sanborn Guilty On All Counts In Black Mag Case By Marie P. Hughes Jurors in the trial of the State versus Craig Sanborn deliberated a little over three hours before rendering a guilty verdict on all four charges. The verdict, on Oct. 23, found the prosecution’s case proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Even after the fore-woman and the jurors, as a whole, responded, “Guilty,” Defense Attorney Mark Sisti, asked to have the jury polled. As the Clerk called each of the nine women and three men, each juror responded, “Guilty.” As the charges were read, Craig Sanborn and his attorney stood facing the jury. After the jurors were dismissed, Judge (Continued on page 2)

Tuesday Fire Destroys Stark Garage Four area fire departments responded to a garage fire at the home of Dave Goulet on Northside Road in Stark on Tuesday evening. Crews from Stark, Groveton, Milan and Stratford Hollow assisted at the blaze which lev-

eled the garage, housing a motor home and other personal items. Goulet, the owner of Goulet Communications, said he is thankful that no damage was done to his business. “No business equipment was inside. So we can assure people that

nothing to do with the business was harmed. I lost my garage, my motor home, lawn tractor; my brother’s small motor home which was covered and stored about 20-30 feet away from the garage--the heat ruined that.

Aurora Helps Promote Preservation Of Granges This week, the N.H. Preservation Alliance announced that Granges statewide would be included in the 2013 “Seven To Save” list. The Preservation Alliance received nominations from both the Aurora Grange in Pittsburg and the Meriden Grange in Meriden, and in turn will spotlight these Granges as

important structures needed to be restored and preserved. “This is a tremendous opportunity for the N.H. State Grange, as well as each and every Grange in the state of New Hampshire that owns its own hall,” N.H. State Grange President Jim Tetreault said during the announcement.

Cell Tower Taking Shape In Groveton By Marie P. Hughes Although the cell tower on Morse Mountain in Groveton is presently only an impressive 120 feet high, by the end of next week, it will be completed at a staggering 195 feet of steel and concrete. The press and other invited

guests were driven up the 1.8mile steep, winding road to the structure, where on the way up, passengers were treated to magnificent views of the oxbow on the Connecticut River and Groveton and its environs below. However, the road itself is

an accomplishment, when you consider what went into constructing it. According to Dave Atkinson, Business Manager at A. B. Logging, Inc., which was the company that built the road, “The road was constructed about a year ago, taking 4,500 (Continued on page 9) Susan Lahout and Dennis MacKay will bring the delightful play “Love Letters” to the TIllotson Center on Nov. 9.

Two featured performers from the Colonel Town Players—and Dennis MacKay and Susan Lahout—are bringing the two-person play “Love Letters” to the Colebrook area on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 7 p.m., in the Tillotson Center in Colebrook. The play is sponsored by the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts. Many will remember MacKay for his performance last year as

George Bailey in the play, “It’s A Wonderful Life—A Live Radio Play.” The theater was packed that night and “Love Letters” promises to deliver an equally wonderful performance. Lahout and McKay will be directed by the noted Guil Fisher, a theater veteran known in the North Country for his work with the Weathervane Theatre in Whitefield. Lahout has (Continued on page 3)

Black Mag (Continued from page 1) Peter Bornstein asked for a brief recess to speak to the jurors, and then came back to the courtroom for the bail hearing. Prosecutor Coos County Attorney John McCormick issued this statement regarding the verdict, “We’re pleased with the verdict. We presented our best case to the jury, and they returned guilty verdicts on all counts, both manslaughter and negligent homicide. We wish to thank the many witnesses and law enforcement agencies that participated in this effort to secure justice for Jesse Kennett, Donald Kendall and their families.” Following the verdict, at the bail hearing, Attorney McCormick asked that Sanborn be remanded to prison, but Attorney Sisti objected, saying, “Mr. Sanborn has been out on bail for a year and has been present at every session so he is not a risk.” Judge Bornstein cited several articles about flight risk and asked if the defendant had his passport, to which Sisti answered, “Mr. Sanborn has already turned in his passport to the authorities in Bangor, Maine.” Finally, the judge released Sanborn on $250,000 cash bail or surety with the provision that Mr. Sanborn report weekly to the Colebrook Police Dept. as requested by the prosecution. A date will be set at a later time for sentencing, which as the judge stated, “Could be up to 30 years for each manslaughter conviction, although that might not be the sentence.” Leading up to the guilty verdict came three weeks of testimony from about 50 witnesses called by the prosecution, compared to the three witnesses called by the defense. Most of the witnesses for the prosecution were considered expert witnesses, consisting of men and women from the N.H. State Police, particularly Troop F; N.H. Fire Marshal; Colebrook Police and Fire Departments, U.S. Border Patrol; the Dept. of Labor and its Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); and ATF personnel. On Friday, Oct. 18, the prosecution rested its case, allowing the defense to call its witnesses on Monday, Oct. 21. The first witness was the web page manager and marketer Alfred Ray-

chard, who worked for Sanborn from 2005 to 2010. However, in his testimony, he continued to say his role with the company was minor and he was never involved in any of the manufacturing processes. When asked if he knew two main executives from MagKor, Lee Hearn and Giovanni Brus, he said he had only brief encounters or conversations with them and was not involved in any safety discussions with them. When Raychard was excused, Attorney Sisti called Mrs. Lori Sanborn, wife of the defendant, to the stand. Mrs. Sanborn stated she worked in the office two to three days a week, but it was across the hallway in a different room. She verified that her husband was away at the time of the explosion and the reason that she was not at the plant on Friday, May 14, 2010, was, “I was ill on Thursday, the 13th, and did not have the information ready for the bookkeeper, so I stayed home that day.” When Attorney Sisti asked her if Federal Cartridge was putting pressure on Black Mag to increase production, she replied, “I took one of the phone calls, but there was no pressure to increase the quantity. We were not in full production, but were hoping to increase to ten employees.” Before the prosecution began its cross examination, Judge Bornstein asked the jurors to leave the court room because he was not sure whether he was going to allow the information about the Jan. 20, 2010, accident in which David Oldham was injured. Assistant Coos County Attorney Stephen Murray asked Mrs. Sanborn if her husband was concerned about safety at that time, to which she responded, “He felt the plant was safe before the accident and after the accident. However, Murray continued by asking, “Didn’t you find it unreasonable that your husband was not concerned with safety and Oldham’s injuries?” Mrs. Sanborn stated, “He was not being unreasonable, and he was very concerned about Oldham.” However, as Murray continued his line of questioning, he became very vehement about his right to question Mrs. Sanborn about her husband’s feelings and responsibility without the defense attorney sending signals to her. At that point, the Judge asked Mrs. Sanborn to leave the courtroom until a decision would be made about whether the infor-

mation would be available to the jury. After arguments from both sides, the judge declared the Jan. 20, 2010, as inadmissible and the jury plus Mrs. Sanborn were called back to the courtroom. Mrs. Sanborn continued to tell the jury she was not ever involved in any part of the manufacturing or had any reason to be near the machines. She also asserted there was no pressure from anyone to ramp up production. After her testimony, court was recessed until the next day, when the morning was full of motions by both parties, and the jury was asked to return at 2 p.m. However, at 1 p.m. there would be a video stream with medical examiner Dr. Jennie Duval, whom the prosecution had on its witness list, but did not call; Attorney Sisti did want her as a witness. After Dr. Duval finished her testimony, Judge Bornstein agreed she could be questioned in front of jurors at 2 p.m., but the Defense could not ask certain questions concerning the autopsies because some of the information she received was from another lab, and under Rule 703 she would not be considered an expert witness. Under Rule 705, Dr. Duval’s testimony would be considered “hearsay” so it was disallowed. One other witness the Defense would have had on Wednesday, was not allowed, and closing arguments began Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. The Defense began the clos(Continued on page 9)

Fire (Continued from page 1) And I lost all the siding on the back side of my house, plus one window,” Goulet told the Chronicle yesterday. He said his house stands about 75 feet away from where the garage was situated. The garage was 16 feet high (to house the motor home) and 24-feet by 40-feet. “I’m just waiting for the insurance company investigator and adjustor to come take a look, but the state fire marshal and state electrical investigator have been here,” he said. Because the garage is flat, he said that what caused the fire is undetermined. “There was nothing in there plugged in. It was a garage to keep my ‘baby’ in—which was my motor home,” he said. Goulet said he was at home when the fire started and that he was the one who called 9-1-1. “I thought at first it was someone with a flashlight in my garage…it was flickering, and then when I went outside and looked, I saw it was a fire. So ran inside and shut the power off. I picked up my hose, but the minute I opened the side door, it just took off in my face,” he said. “A neighbor who used to be on the fire department came over and grabbed my hose, which I dropped on the first explosion, and he kept the roof of my house wet. My son in law,

he’s on the fire department, was here before the fire department. When he drove in, the walls were still upright, but the roof had gone in.” There was no insulation and no sheetrock inside the building, said Goulet, and the building burned very quickly. No injuries were reported from the fire.

Grange (Continued from page 1) vation Alliance will bring much needed attention to protect Grange halls in New Hampshire. “It will bring expert assistance in grant writing as well as a partnership with a group that cares about historical buildings which many of our Grange halls throughout the state are,” Tetreault said. The Aurora Grange in Pittsburg was nominated for the list by Pittsburg resident and businessman Roy E. Amey, who serves as the Membership Director and Chaplain for the Aurora Grange. Amey, as well as the other Aurora Grange membership, are dedicated to preserving the Grange Hall, as it is one of the oldest buildings in Pittsburg. “This award means a great deal, as it will bring both regional and statewide recognition to our efforts to preserve the Aurora Grange Hall.

unteers willing to donate two days of service to assist with electrical, plumbing, and most especially, carpentry work,” said Jody (Johanna) Jackson, a Preservation Alliance volunteer who assists with grant proposals. Earlier this year, the Aurora Grange received two awards for renovation work: a $500 gift card from Lowe’s and a $1,000 award from the Tillotson North Country Foundation The Preservation Alliance noted that Grange Halls in New Hampshire are among a group of endangered historic structures that includes the unique circular Gas Holder building in Concord, Kimball Castle in Gilford, Boscawen’s Old Public Library, Sanborn Seminary in Kingston and the WPA-era outdoor swimming pool in Durham. Dozens of Granges—including Pittsburg—are struggling to maintain their aging buildings, preserve their civic and social traditions, and attract new sources of support, a daunting challenge that cooperative action may help to solve. The Seven To Save list was created in 2006 to focus attention and resources on significant historic properties in New Hampshire that are threatened by neglect, deterioration, insufficient funds, inappropriate development and/or insensitive public policy. The Preservation Alliance considers the property’s historical or architectural significance, severity of the current threat and the extent to which the Seven To Save listing could help in preserving or protecting the property. The list was announced at the Manchester Masonic Temple on Tuesday, and those who attended were treated to guided tours of the respected, privately-owned and well-maintained structure.The event also included a brief annual meeting of the Preservation Alliance and a reception to honor the members of the 2013 list.

starred as Grandma Rosie in the Papermill Theater’s rendition of “Wedding Singer,” Pamela Willey in Colonel Town Players’ “Out of Order” and performed in the Weathervane Repertory’s “My Fair Lady” and “Harvey.” McKay is a seasoned, veteran actor who has recently appeared as Willy Loman in “Death of a Salesman,” Norman Thayer in “On Golden Pond,” Elwood P. Dowd in “Harvey” and Felix Unger in the “Odd Couple.” Recently, Dennis was a finalist in the Best Actor category by the New Hampshire Theater Awards. His portrayal of Richard Willey in the production of “Out of Order” with the Colonel Town Players received rave reviews. “Love Letters” is a play by Albert Ramsdell Gurney, Jr., and was a finalist forPulitzer Prize for Drama in 1990. The play is unusual in thatthere is no set, virtually no props beyond what you see on the stagethere are no staged entrances and exits. This type of play isin the theater world as a stage reading. It relies heavily on thecontent of the dialogue and the interpretation of the actors.play is a compelling story of a lifelong relationship between two, Melissa Gardner and Andy Ladd. The onlybetween the actors is through their letters which begin in childhood and span over a period of 50 years, revealing a caring but complex. The performers have graciously offered to donate the proceeds from the gate to the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts as a fundraiser in appreciation for the quality performances the GNWCA continues to bring to the Tillotson Center and other regional venues. “We are thrilled that Dennis and Susan are doing this for us,” said GNWCA President Charlie Jordan. “They, like our board, are dedicated to keeping the performing arts a vibrant part of our North Country.” Tickets for the play are $15 and available in advance at Fiddleheads, 110 Main St., Colebrook, or at the door on the night of the show.

No one was injured in an accident on Route 3 in Stratford, Monday, Oct. 21, at about 5 p.m. when a car driven by Roland Eldridge of Rochester and his passenger, Pat Cook, were turning onto Birch Road and was struck by a jeep driven by Colebrook resident Thomas Knapp, who was headed south. Both vehicles had to be towed from the scene. Marie Hughes photo.

COMPTON VEHICLE COLLISION Last Thursday morning, at 7:15 a.m., a call came in for a motor vehicle crash on Route 147 between Compton and Coaticook, Que. Upon arrival of rescue personnel, they found a car in the ditch with three injured and an ambulance on the other side of the road on its side in a corn field, as well as a large beer delivery truck. The driver of the car, Miguel Charest, 32, was dead on scene and his two children ages 5 and one-year-old, were severely injured. The two ambulance attendants involved in the accident managed to get out of their overturned vehicle and tried to help the victims in the car. The ambulance attendants were suffering minor injuries from the collision and later had to be transported to the hospital to be treated for injuries. The driver of the beer delivery truck suffered minor injuries and was also transported. The cause of the crash wasn’t very clear, but it appeared the

Don’t Get Too Attached To The Latest Technology--They’ll Only Change It Again Grumbling aloud time: we’ve been spending the past two weeks trying to get used to the latest design program we have to use for layout and frankly, it is giving this editor a headache. Seems everytime we find just the right system or program that works well for our needs, those great minds out there in cyberspaceland figure out a way to force us off of it and onto something different. Back a few years ago we had the perfect Adobe Photoshop program for working with pictures--very basic, no bells and whistles. Considering this paper runs a lot of pictures (nearly 70 in this issue alone), speed and ease is important. However, step by step, automatic upgrades shut that version of Adobe Photoshop down. Then about a month ago our version of Microsoft Publisher started getting quirky--repeated freeze ups, refusing to paste up, you name it. It was its clever way of saying “upgrade NOW!” So now we are learning another new system. Adobe InDesign--and we feel like we are starting all over again. We tried to keep some of our old system, but manufacturers don’t want you mixing apples with oranges, so it is out with the old and in with the new. We figure just about the time we get this one under control it will become obsolete. It’s times like this that one wishes they’d bring the old lead print type back. Grumble... Charles J. Jordan

Dear Editor, The eighth annual TubaChristmas event will be held on Saturday, Dec. 21. As this has become such a tradition, I have two reasons for this letter. First, the date printed in the “Moosely Information” book is incorrect. The event is always the last Saturday before Christmas, and is part of a line-up of events in New England which include several of our regular players. Second, the 1 p.m. concert is free to the public, but it takes a lot to make it happen. One of the things that keeps these tuba, baritone and euphonium players coming is the hospitality they receive. Even with “iffy” weather, most of them travel at least an hour to come…and then pay a registration fee!This money helps support the foundation which publishes the arrangements, facilitates countless TubaChristmas events worldwide, and continues the legacy of its creator.This is the 40th anniversary of the concept; and the first-ever increase in the player

fee. Here in Colebrook, players arrive at Trinity United Methodist Church to find it already set up for their rehearsal, followed by a free lunch just for them. For the concert, even overflow seating fills–the result of many promotional efforts, including beautiful posters from the GNWCA.Then, all of the appreciation at the end of the concert between the audience and participants is wonderful–but I must make a plea to the audience.Help wanted! I am seeking support in three ways:volunteers to help with setting up and re-setting; donations of food and beverages for the players; and financial sponsors.It just doesn’t seem fair to ask each player to pay $10 for what they are giving us! Anyone who can help with keeping this bit of Christmas magic going can contact me at [email protected] or 237-5805. Sharon Pearson Colebrook

Police, EMS scene with his heart stopped. They attempted to revive him, but he was confirmed deceased at the Coaticook Hospital soon after. This was a very tragic morning that sent seven people to the hospital. The last report from the SQ was that the two children were still critical at the hospital. The ambulance attendants are doing fine, as well as those who were in the beer truck. –Corey Bellam AUTO ROUTE 610 ACCIDENT This past Sunday at around 12:15 in the afternoon, on the Auto Route 610 near the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sherbrooke, a crash occurred between a small car and a semitruck. It appeared that 29-yearold Mason Sinclair entered the oncoming traffic lane, hitting the truck head-on. The young woman was taken to the nearby hospital but was confirmed dead on arrival. The driver of the truck was also taken to the hospital for severe shock. Another vehicle, a van, was also involved in the crash, but the driver wasn’t injured. This short stretch of highway has been the scene of six fatal accidents since 2005 and it is only six miles long. This crash closed the stretch of the auto route for most of the afternoon while workers cleared the debris and police investigated the scene. –Corey Bellam 45TH PARALLEL EMS Halloween is approaching and the 45th Parallel EMS wants all trick-or-treaters to be safe while out on this special night. Extra vigilance on the part of drivers is necessary


to ensure this. Here are some common sense tips for drivers: Don’t use a cell phone or other electronic device while driving on Halloween night. Pay extra attention, particularly to crosswalks, intersections and the side of the road. Kids tend to walk along the curbs, cutting across the street to get to other homes. Drive below the posted speed limit in residential areas during trick-or-treating hours. Do not pass other vehicles that have stopped in the roadway, they could be dropping off children. Make sure your child carries a flashlight, glow stick or has reflective tape on their costume to make them more visible to cars. If you are dropping off or picking up your kids in an area, pull off the road into a safe spot and turn on your hazard lights to alert other motorists. Have a safe and happy Halloween. The following is the activity report for Oct. 13-19: On Oct. 14, at 5:49 a.m., the department responded to Colebrook for a medical emergency. On Oct. 15, at 3:02 p.m., the department responded to Lemington, Vt., for a medical emergency. On Oct. 16, at 8:48 a.m., the department responded to Pittsburg for a medical alarm activation. The ambulance was canceled while en route. At 11:38 a.m., the department responded to Columbia for a medical emergency. The patient was transported to UCVH. On Oct. 18, at 6:01 a.m., the department responded to Coos County Nursing Hospital in West Stewartstown for a medical emergency. The patient was transported to UCVH. At 9:03 p.m., the department responded to Pittsburg for a medical emergency. The patient was transported to UCVH. At 11:05 p.m., the department responded to UCVH for a transfer to Littleton Regional Healthcare.

METALLAK RETIRED TEACHERS MEET On Wednesday, Oct. 23, the Metallak Retired Teachers Association held a meeting in Colebrook with SAU 7 Superintendent Bob Mills as guest speaker. Mills updated the retired teachers on the issue of school consolidation, telling them, “We are trying to form an interstate planning committee, but we have one school board member and two community members, so it’s not moving as fast as we would like.” The interstate plan-

ning committee would involve looking at a consolidation of schools in two states and eight towns. The concept has been accomplished before, but it only involved two towns: Hanover, N.H., and Norwich, Vt., formed a school district together as did Orford, N.H., and Fairlee, Vt. Attempting to form a district with eight towns would be a new concept. Mills cited the steep drop in student enrollments as the reason why there are efforts to look into the possibility of school consolidations. He said that the

opening enrollment at Colebrook Academy for the 1996-1997 school year was 223, while this year it was 122; the total for the Colebrook School District (high school and elementary) in 199697 was 615, while this year it was 399. The total SAU enrollment in 1996-97 was 904, while this year it was 589, said Mills. After hearing these numbers, one retired teacher said, “That speaks volumes right there.” Mills explained he wasn’t sure why other community members were not interested in signing up to be involved

in looking at a possible school consolidation, but he suspects that it might be the long-term commitment of three years that scares people off. He mentioned that the Colebrook School Board is moving ahead with looking into the phase two portion of its new school construction—with the possibility of adding on at the current elementary school so that all students would attend one facility instead of two, and closing down the Academy. —Donna Jordan

Black Mag (Continued from page 2) ing arguments by thanking the jury for their service, and then told the jurors, “If the defendant acted negligently, the state must prove its case.” He then asked, “What if Jesse Kennett after a long lunch returned to the facility impaired? He knew the risks and it is negligent of any machine operator to come in impaired and operate the machine.” Sisti also showed the jurors a picture of the dial on the machine at 2.6 not the usual 1 where it should be set. The Defense also reminded the jurors MagKor were the ones who sold the machines to the facility, and Gary Dickson from MagKor was there at the facility in March 2010, and did not cite any problems. Sisti explained the approval Sanborn received from the Colebrook Planning Board and a long line of local entities such as the fire department, police, fire marshal and ATF which did not shut the facility down. All of the various departments were given tours of the facility and still issued licenses. As part of his summation, Sisti said, “Accidents happen even at very secure facilities. Is everything Craig’s fault? Craig did not control the machines that day.” Further, he told the jurors many people had access to the site and some of the main participants such as the head investigators of the fire department and State Police were not called as witnesses. Sisti placed the blame 90 percent on MagKor, and said, “Craig was being used as their fall guy,” because they made up the formula for the powder, and said it would not explode, but only flash.” Finally, he told the jurors in the end they still would not know what caused the accident because no one knows. The prosecution began its closing with referring back to its opening which said the whole incident was caused because of greed, and the Defense was trying to blame everyone except the defendant, Attorney McCormick said, “Mr. Sanborn took advantage of people. He disregarded all the information about safety. Recklessness is what caused the deaths of Jesse and Don. MagKor did not hire them, he did.” McCormick also said the defendant was told by MagKor to “Call before you get employees; and if Jerry Hall had come up, he would have said, ‘No way you can operate this facility.’” MagKor had even promised to pay for the training according to McCormick, who said, “It was not a matter of if there would be an explosion, but when.” Sanborn did not even do the bare minimum of following standards.” At that point, the prosecution presented a power point to highlight all the issues they had elucidated in their arguments. The presentation began with the personal life statistics of Kennett and Kendall, then the testimony of no training and the reason for Mark Porter quitting after only a week on the job. According to one motion struck down, Porter told Sanborn when he quit it was because “The place was a death trap,”


but Judge Bornstein disallowed the words “death trap” in his actual testimony. The prosecution also alluded to the 22 counts of willful and serious violations filed by OSHA in Oct. 2010, in which Black Mag LLC was fined over $1.5 million. Among those violations were failure to provide safety equipment; four separate citations for not training employees; a citation for the employee’s right to know what chemicals they were working with; and not conducting a prestart up safety review. Attorney McCormick also told the jurors that Sanborn had received $300,000 as a down payment for the Federal Cartridge order, and he could have put that toward securing the facility properly, but instead used it for his own personal use, while only paying his employees $10 and hour. The machines were lodged in a space which, according to the prosecution, was only four percent of the space needed for such an operation. One of the power point pages was labelled, “Greed Rears Its Ugly Head,” because, as McCormick said, “Even after the accident, Sanborn tried to sell Black Mag to Federal cartridge for 3.96 million dollars.” In the power point presentation the jurors were shown copies of the violations cited, the pictures of the building after the explosion, and other relevant testimony the prosecution presented during the trial. In closing, McCormick said that Sanborn told OSHA he knew he had violated some of the standards, so he indeed was responsible for the death of the two men and should be found guilty on all four charges. At the end of the trial and the guilty verdict, perhaps Attorney Constance Franklin from Boston, who was representing the Dept. of Labor, said it best for many: “There are no winners in this case.”

ration also spoke about being proud to have participated in the project and “to look forward to extending a portion of the wireless link. Presently, Green Mountain Communications is the company who is actually building the tower, and according to Carl Plummer, “We expect to be finished by the middle of next week if everything goes ok ay.” In his recognition of all the people and companies involved in the project, Roy Duddy said, “A special thanks needs to go to the Weymss family who gave us the right of way up the mountain and gave us the summit on which to build the tower and the stations.” Duddy told the group NCIC will have a facility at the top, and PSNH said it would maintain the tower. At present, there is only one service provider, AT&T, signed up for the tower, but Duddy said they are working with other cell providers to come on board. The tower will benefit the community in many different ways, for example, NCIC Wireless LINC network will expand affordable, reliable Internet service to the area because they will maintain a facility at the top. Also, according to Duddy, “It will help Groveton attract

Page 9

businesses, vacationers, and participate in the global economy.” Police, fire personnel, and EMS will have enhanced communication and response capabilities making it safer and more effective in case of emergencies. Schools will reportedly benefit because smart classrooms will be created through this infrastructure. Another benefit, stakeholders say, will be an increased revenue in the tax base, and all of this will be available to taxpayers at no cost. In the end, even though cell service will not be forthcoming right away, Roy Duddy said, “We may be a little bit behind, but we are 10 years ahead of where

we were told we would be.” Duddy told the group that in 2011, when PSNH approached providers, he was told service to the North Country was not even close to being part of their plans for the next 10 years. Therefore, Duddy ended by telling the group, “This day is truly a celebration, and Groveton will be the future diamond in the rough for Coos County.” The project is funded by gfrants from the Federal Economic Development Administration, Northern Border Regional Commission, along with additional financial support from PSNH and the Northern Pass project.

It took approximately two months to complete the 1.8 miles of road.” The crew dealt with,000 cubic yards of ledge which they blasted on the road and at the tower site; over 8,000 pounds of explosives was used for blasting the ledge. Further, Atkinson said, “Over 1,100 man hours (20-plus employees of A.B. Logging were involved in the site work); A.B. Logging and Trucking Inc. employees plus 25 local residents. Five to 10 local contractors/suppliers were subcontracted by A.B. Logging Inc. for electrical, concrete, trucking, fencing, tree clearing, and construction materials. total, the road created over $150,000 in local spending.” Roy Duddy of Public Service of New Hampshire told the group, “I am extremely proud of the work we have accomplished here, and it is proof of what can be accomplished when the private and public sectors work together.” Those words were echoed many times throughout the various presentations, and Jon Freeman from Northern Community Investment Corpo-

SCOTTISH MUSIC AT MOOSE MUCK OCT. 30 Just a reminder that the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts will present Alan Reid and Rob van Sante in concert on Wednesday, Oct. 30. These legendary Scottish singers will perform at the Moose Muck Coffee House on Parsons Street in Colebrook, which will prove to be an ideal setting for their “coffee house” balladeer style. The concert is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., but the Coffee House will be open beginning at 6 p.m. with food and beverages that can be purchased prepared by the Moose Muck staff. The popular duo first performed at the Moose Muck two years ago, when they received a warm reception from local music fans. Tickets for the Colebrook concert are $15 each and will be available at the door on the night of the show. “This will be a memorable evening of music in a very relaxed setting here in the North Country,” said Charlie Jordan, President of the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts. Alan Reid has assured himself a place among the legends of Celtic music, having been a member of Battlefield Band from its inception in 1969 until his departure in 2010. In that time, he toured all over the world and made almost 30 recordings with the band, working with such artists as Garrison (Continued on page 14)

After the discovery of the time capsule at Lake Umbagog last August, Bill Schomburg returned to the Chronicle’s office this past week with a handwritten note he found in a bottle. He was canoeing near Lake Champlain with Dana Bartlett along the Northern Forest canoe trail when he discovered the note. It is a series of pages written in marker, entirely in French, and appears to be a welcoming greeting from a seven year old and their friends while on vacation.

Outdoors N.H. FISH AND GAME AUTOMATED LICENSES The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is going electronic! Beginning with the 2014 license year, regular hunting and fishing licenses will be computer-generated and printed by the agent on regular paper, just as licenses purchased online or at Wal-Mart are done now. More than half of hunting and fishing licenses sold in New Hampshire (53 percent) are currently purchased online or at stores that use an automated system. New Hampshire is one of the few remaining states where regular licenses are hand-written. A handful of agents around the state are already using the new point-of-sale (POS) system as part of a pilot project that began in August, and things are going well, according to Fish and Game Licensing Supervisor Sue Perry. When 2014 hunting and fishing licenses become available in mid-December, all Fish and Game license agents will be issuing hunting and fishing licenses via the automated system. Hand-written licenses will no longer be available after the 2013 license year ends. One change under the new system is that, starting with the 2014 licenses, a $2 transaction fee will be charged per license form. This fee will go to the vendor, Sovereign Sportsman Solutions (S3), for the automated system to cover the cost of its operation, just as online license buyers currently pay a transaction fee. The new automated system offers many benefits: The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department will gain faster access to critical license sales data, which can take months to get under the old system.will also save on printing and shipping costs, since preprinted license forms will not be needed. For consumers, the licensebuying transaction will be faster and easier. In many cases, their information will already be in the system. Fish and Game license agents will find their administrative reporting is streamlined, because end-of-month reports will be computer-generated, saving them time and effort. will save time on transactions at the counter, as well, aided by helpful “prompts” to assist them during license sales. “This should be a positive change for everyone, because it will allow Fish and Game to operate more efficiently and effectively, using technology that has been adopted nationwide with positive results,” said Perry. For more information, and Frequently Asked Questions about the upcoming move to electronic license sales, visit http://www.wildnh.com/POS. FISH AND WILDLIFE CALENDAR AVAILABLE The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department has launched its 2014 New Hamp-

shire Fish and Wildlife Calendar, showcasing professional wildlife photography, wildlife watching tips and more.you enjoy New Hampshire’s great outdoors, this award-winning calendar is for you!The Association for Conservation Information recently honored N.H.

NH YOUTH DEER HUNT SET FOR OCT. 26-27, 2013 New Hampshire’s youth deer weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 26-27, 2013, is the perfect time to take a youngster hunting. This special weekend gives young people age 15 and younger the opportunity to go deer hunting with an adult mentor, without the pressure of competing with thousands of adult hunters. Accompanying adults must be licensed hunters and are not allowed to carry a firearm; the idea is to concentrate your time and attention on coaching your young companion. Prospects for this year’s youth season are good, according to Dan Bergeron, Deer Project Leader for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. New Hampshire’s deer population is healthy and will provide excellent opportunities. In 2012, young hunters took 388 deer during the youth weekend. “The weekend presents a great opportunity to introduce your son or daughter, grandchild, or even a young friend to the joys, excitement, and rewards of deer hunting; all under the careful guidance of an experienced adult,” said Bergeron. “You can help teach them about the sights and sounds of the forest, how to interpret wildlife sign, and how to use this knowledge to track and harvest a white-tailed deer.’s a great excuse to get young people and yourself, out in the fresh air, have some fun, and enjoy some beautiful fall foliage.a young person how to hunt and seeing their excitement can help even the most avid hunter remem-

ber why they love the sport so much. This shared experience can build bonds that last a lifetime.hope hunters will spend the weekend teaching the state’s youth what hunting is all about.” Bergeron notes that hunting can also help youngsters learn about the environment, conservation, tradition and ethics, and it can build a deep and abiding appreciation for the wildlife and wild places that many of our citizens and visitors cherish. New Hampshire has offered a special youth deer hunt since 1999. Nonresident youth may participate in New Hampshire’s youth deer weekend only if their state of residence allows New Hampshire youth to participate in its youth deer hunt.

MOOSE HUNT UPDATE As of Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013, a total of 119 moose had been taken in the 2013 New Hampshire moose hunt (63 bulls and 56 cows). That means that 42 percent of the 281 hunters holding moose permits had succeeded by the midway point in the state’s moose hunt. Last year (2012), 50 percent of hunters had gotten their moose by this point in the season. The midweek weather has been favorable for hunters, as cooler temperatures and sunshine prevail in the Granite State.hunters are seeing just the moose they get, while others are seeing moose “everywhere,” said N.H. Fish and Game Department Moose Project Leader Kristine Rines. Hunters are also reporting that moose seem to be more easily spooked by human presence than they have been in the past. With the initial rutting period over, hunters are not seeing sparring activity among bulls. Cows that have not been bred continue to cycle into estrus, however, so young bulls are still responding well to calls. Fish and Game biologists working the registration stations have seen unusually high numbers of winter ticks on some harvested moose, while others seem to be carrying a typical load of the pests, according to Rines. New Hampshire’s nine-day moose hunt continues through Sunday, Oct. 27, 2013. This year, more than 13,000 people entered the moose hunt lottery for a chance to win a permit for the New Hampshire moose hunt.

CHILDRENS WISH FOUNDATION WALK Wishes were floating in the air this past Saturday at Parc Jacques Cartier in Sherbrooke, Que. It marked the second edition of the Childrens Wish Foundation Walk for Dreams. This organization grants dreams to children from three to 17 years of age suffering from serious illness or severe disability, and by granting these wishes, makes their lives more enjoyable. Since its start in 1984, the Childrens Wish Foundation has made it possible for over 20,000 children to fulfill their dreams. More than 6,500 have been granted to children from Quebec. This year, they will grant 1,000 new dreams. One thing that the Foundation is very proud of is that they are not government funded. The money

used is raised from donations and the old fashioned way of earning it. This year, like every year, many wishes were granted and one child in particular is picked to get a real dream. This year, Elyjah Tricoire, who is nine years old and has leukemia, wished that he could see a live gorilla. He and his family will be boarding an airplane and heading to Africa where they will be visiting a wild game reserve. He will see his gorilla up close and persona. Elyjah was presented with a knapsack filled with supplies he will need on safari. It included a teddy bear for the nights, a shirt with “Childrens Wish Foundation” on it, and also a digital camera so he can take gorilla photos, among other things.

that they are very proud of and quick to tell all. The money that is raised through their cookie sales helps fund their club and activities throughout the year. When the Girl Guides first started, the parents of the young ladies made homemade cookies to be sold to raise money for their club. Now, the cookies come in a colorful little box but are still sold to raise money. Girl Guides gives these young ladies a good start and long lasting values that will stick with them all through their lives. –Corey Bellam SAWYERVILLE ELEMENTARY BREAKFAST Last week, we visited the Sawyerville Elementary school to check out their breakfast program.

Obituaries

Jacob G. Weber JACOB G. WEBER COLEBROOK--Jacob George Weber, 30, of Underhill, Vt., and formerly of Colebrook, passed away at his home due to medical complications, early on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013. He was born on Jan. 18, 1983, in St Johnsbury, Vt., to Howard Weber and Mary Beth (George) Kenison. He attended Colebrook Academy and N.H. Technical College in Laconia, majoring in Fire Science and Investigation. He moved to Vermont upon marrying the love of his life, Alicia Davis, on Aug. 3, 2008, creating a home together with his four-legged friends Willow and Kiwi. As a couple, they enjoyed snowmobiling, biking and camping. Together they created Sky Acres, a small maple-sugaring operation. Jake was a firefighter with the rank of Lieutenant at Barnstead Fire and Rescue in Barnstead. He was a volunteer firefighter at Underhill/Jericho and Essex Rescue in Vermont. He began his fire service career in 2001 at the age of 18 as a volunteer at the Colebrook Fire Dept. Jacob also worked part time for the Lancaster Police Dept. Jacob was brought up in Colebrook. He was the ultimate people person; no matter where he went, he knew someone. As a young man he had many adventures with his two brothers, and was known for owning and working with Jack and Fred,

ATM ATM

his team of oxen, not ever attending school during the Lancaster Fair, which he loved. Jake went in every Fourth of July parade in Colebrook starting at age eight, either alone, with his brothers, and for many years with his oxen. Jacob’s favorite job as a young man was working at the Nugent gas station which he affectionately referred to as the “two-headed calf.” Jacob began skiing at the Balsams Wilderness, and at age six was ranked a top-ten racer in New Hampshire. He became a member of the Ski Patrol there, working with his Uncle Bob (when not skiing off the trail with his friends and brothers). Jake was also a member of the Colebrook Academy Key Club, and was the Lt. Gov. for his district. Jacob played little league baseball and PALS Hockey. His true passion was for helping others, and he therefore helped establish the Explorer program at the Colebrook Fire Dept. until age 18, when he could officially become a member. Jacob’s life-long dream was fulfilled when he graduated in Fire Science and became a fulltime professional firefighter for Barnstead Fire and Rescue. Jacob’s life was completed when he met and married Alicia, whom he loved so dearly. They shared many things, but most important was their commitment and devotion to each other. He is survived by his wife Alicia (Davis) Weber of Underhill, Vt.; his father, Howard Weber and wife Kate of Gulf Breeze, Fla.; his mother Mary Beth Kenison and husband Toby of Groveton; his older brother, Nicholas Weber, wife Bianca and their children, Kael and Bristol Weber of Gilmanton; his twin brother, Capt. Samuel Weber of Dover, currently serving in Afghanistan; his step-brother Toby W. Kenison of Groveton; and his grandmother, Suzanne Weber, of Colebrook. Jake is also survived by beloved uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and cousins. He also leaves behind friends and loved ones too numerous to count. Jake is predeceased by his grandparents Howard C. Weber, Donald

and Helen George, and an infant cousin, Charles Weber. Calling hours will be on Saturday, Oct. 26, 2013, from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at Jenkins and Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook. A funeral service will be held on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 2 p.m. at the Colebrook School gymnasium, with The Reverend Rebecca Larson and Pastor Mike Kooy co-officiating. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Jake can be made to the Colebrook Academy Key Club, c/o Colebrook Academy, 13 Academy St., Colebrook, NH, 03576; or to the Granite State Fire Service Support Team, c/o Deputy Chief Mark Klose, 55 Constitution Dr., Bedford, NH 03110. Condolences may be offered to the family online by going to www.jenkinsnewman. com. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Jenkins and Newman Funeral Home, Colebrook.

The home on the mountain was where lives have been shared and memories have been made for five generations. Rita (Mrs. Blakslee to many) taught business education at Littleton High School, Whitefield High School, White Mts. Regional High School, and Groveton High School. As teacher, as chairperson, as curriculum developer, as the teacher who embraced technology, she sent many high school graduates on to employment and careers in associated fields. Right through the last days of her life, she enjoyed hearing, “You were my teacher.” “Because of you, I have a career/employment.” “You made a difference in my world.” In her lifetime she was an active member of the Dalton community. She was a member of the Dalton school board, Superintendant of the Sunday school and faithful member of the Dalton Congregational Church, a member of the Ladies Aid Society, a member of the Dalton Grange, auditor for the town of Dalton, a board member of Weeks Memorial Hospital, champion for the building of the Dalton Elementary School and White Mountains Regional High School, a gatherer of her childhood/high school friends, a gatherer and supporter of her class and alumni association of Plymouth State College, Class of 1948, and for over 40 years, a sister to so many wonderful women in her Delta Kappa Gamma sorority. She was mother to Charlotte (and Jack) Nelson of Manchester, Allen (and Evie) Blakslee of Dalton, and Peter (and Dianne) Blakslee of Littleton. She was “Grammie” to all of their five children. “Great Grammie” to 4 ½. She was “sister” to Dr. Elwin (and Mary Jane) Falkenham of Lancaster and Glen (and Joy) Falkenham of Salem and Jefferson, and loved as a sister by her husband’s family, Ralph Blakslee of Vermont, Margie Couturier of Dalton, Eva Lavoie of Littleton,Bob Blakslee of Punta Gorda, Fla., John Blakslee of Concord, Vt., Ida Blakslee of New Hampshire and Florida, Sylvia Blakslee of the New Hampshire Lakes Region, and David Holden of Jaffrey. She was “Aunt Rita” to her many nieces and nephews and cousins, too. And so, too, their children. For many, she made her home their home. For several decades she hostessed the annual Blakslee Christmas Eve gathering—and pancake and Blakslee syrup suppers on Sunday night! On Oct. 26 friends and family will gather in Dalton to celebrate her life. A private service will be held at 11 a.m. at Dalton Congregational Church for family, class members of Dalton High School Class of 1944 and guests, class members of Plymouth Teachers College 1948 and guest, sisters of Delta Kappa

Gamma, her church family, and others by request or invitation. (To those who wish to be with her in her little white church, feel free to request at 837-9071. The Dalton Town Hall by the church will be open.) Following services at the church, we will gather at the Johns River Cemetery. In lieu of calling hours and following services, family, friends, students, church family, and the community is invited to the Dalton Municipal Center (the Dalton Elementary School) beginning at 1 p.m. for a luncheon and a celebration of her life. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to Dalton Church and Delta Kappa Gamma Sorority Educational Scholarship, c/o Sharon Cormier, 8 Blackstone, Whitefield, NH. Arrangements are under the direction of Bailey Funeral Home. Please go to www.bailey fh.net for more information or to send an online condolence.
