Pittsfield NH News

July 23, 2014

The Suncook Valley Sun News Archive is Maintained by Modern Concepts. We are NOT affliated in any way with the Suncook Valley Sun Newspaper.



 

Thomas Williams, son of Larry and Melody Williams, and a 2013 graduate of Pittsfield High School, graduated from WYOTECH, for Motorcycle and Off Road Mechanics, in Daytona, Florida.

 

Making the trip to see him graduate and visit family were his mother Melody, sister Emily, Aunt Jean and Nana Barb.

 

While there Tom was taken good care of by his Papa’s sisters and husband, Mary and Bob Grumblatt, Carols Mardis, and cousins Brian and wife Ashley, Lynn and Curtis McIntyre.

 

He enjoyed his first meal of his journey with his aunt cooking yellow rice and chicken, fishing on Thanksgiving Day, going to Disney and the Daytona  races with them and his cousin. He also got to see the Boston Red Sox play in St. Petersburg, Florida, where his family is from. Tom even appeared in the Baysider, a newspaper from Wolfeboro, NH. On his last day we had a send off luncheon his cousin Lynn and her husband  hosted.

 

Tom enjoyed his time in Florida, but is excited to be home to see his family and friends and begin his new career. He will be looking for work in off-road vehicles, and we wish him well. WELCOME HOME, TOM!

The PCC continues to promote the conservation of Pittsfield’s natural resources and has recently installed signs for the Wild Goose Pond Watershed along Clough Road to increase awareness of this important natural resource located in Pittsfield.  The PCC also installed a sign for town conservation land located next to Berry Pond on Berry Pond Road.

 

The Town of Pittsfield is now a member of the Bear Paw Regional Greenways conservation land trust.  This is great news as Pittsfield was one of the few towns in the central New Hampshire area that was not a member of a land trust organization. Membership with Bear Paw will open up many opportunities for land conservation in Pittsfield and will also provide greater awareness that the PCC is active in the area.

 

Pittsfield Conservation Committee: Chris Hill, Bryan Mika, Diana Westgate, Carl Wallman, Owen David, Paul Metcalf, Bill Miskoe and Ted Mitchell.

Squam Lake Eagle Pair Raising Three Eaglets 

Squam Lake Cruises Visit Nest Daily

Pittsfield Eagles.jpg

The spectacular photo of the Bald Eagles at Squam Lake was taken in the last couple weeks by Randy Roos. This and other beautiful photos of the eagles taken by Randy are available for sale at the Squam Lakes Artisans, located at the Science Center’s Kirkwood Gardens on Route 3 in Holderness. For details about the Artisan’s Gallery hours visit http://www.squamlakesartisans.com.  

 

A pair of Bald Eagles nesting on an island in Squam Lake is raising three eaglets this year. The nest, located on Long Island in the middle of the lake, is viewable on special lake tours conducted by Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. Bald Eagles have nested on the lake since 2003 and have been very successful in the number of chicks reared. This is the third set of triplets raised in this nest in the last four years, making it one of the most productive nests in the state.

 

Iain MacLeod, Executive Director of the Science Center and a raptor expert has been monitoring the success of this pair and other Lakes Region eagles for several years. Last year the pair failed in their nesting attempt during a day-long ice storm in April, so MacLeod is delighted to see them bounce back this year.

 

“The pair chose a new, more sheltered nest site than the one they have used in previous years, perhaps because of the ice-storm trauma in 2013, said MacLeod. “The pair was incubating eggs in their new nest by April 1 (which is a couple weeks later than normal) and hatched their first chick by the first week of May,” he added. The chicks are now within a couple week of taking their first flights and the nest is getting crowded reports MacLeod. “As far as we know this is the only Bald Eagle nest in the state with triplets,” added MacLeod.

 

The Science Center runs Explore Squam cruises every day at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 3:00 p.m. through the middle of October as well as additional Nature of the Lakes cruises on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. through the end of August. The 3:00 p.m. cruise on Mondays and Fridays are special Loon Cruises in partnership with the Loon Preservation Committee. The Bald Eagle nest is a stop for all Squam Lake Cruises.

Well, it has been good at tops this past couple of weeks. We had a Royality night when awards were handed out for the best losers of the month and the runners up were given flowers to show that they did have a loss. It’s always nice to be given a little something for the hard work that you do as anyone knows it’s a daily struggle and a lifestyle change to eat right; but in the end all the benefits of doing this is for you and your health.
