ARTISITC JOURNEYSWhite Mountain Women Artists

By Cynthia WatkinsMelendy

Contributing Writer

Menweren’ttheonlyones

hiking the hills paintingWhite Mountain land-scapes in the nineteenthcentury. They oftenjoined their mothers, sis-ters, wives, daughters,and nieces. And althoughthey are little known tothe public today, womenmade significant contri-butions to the WhiteMountain body of art,and they continue to do so.

We have much to learn aboutwho they were individually,and to locate their work acrossthe country in private homecollections, libraries, muse-ums and commercial galleries.But there are a few generaliza-tions we can make about theseinteresting women whosework, until recently, remainedin relative obscurity.

Until after the Civil Warwhen women ventured intopublic life and made signifi-cant contributions, womentended to paint portraits, stilllifes or domestic scenesbecause these subjects weremost available to them andconsidered socially appropri-ate for women artists. Mostthought that it was dangerousfor women to go into the out-doors to paint wildernesslandscapes. And thoughwomen were expected to carryout the heavy labor of main-taining a 19th century home,many thought that womenwere not strong enough tocarry artistic equipment afield.

Nineteenth century imagesprove that women wereintrepid hikers. WinslowHomer's The Bridle Path,White Mountains, painted in1868, and Harry Fenn's"gothic" rendering of TheDescent from Mount

Washington of 1872 showwomen engaged in activities,which seem far more haz-ardous than landscape paint-ing.

Many women had seriousinterest in the arts. A signifi-cant number studied at presti-gious art institutions such asthe School of the Museum ofFine Arts in Boston or if theywere wealthy, they sailedacross the Atlantic to study inParis. They also took instruc-tion with prominent maleartists of their times, accom-panying them up into the hillsof the White Mountains.

Some women wore maledisguises to gain admittance toart classes and signed works

with initials rather than iden-tify them as work done by awoman. Most women werenot permitted to draw nudes.Other women were publiclyacknowledged artists and hadthe support and encourage-ment of their families. Oftenart was a matter of necessity,and the only means availableto them to earn a living;women were generally onlyaccepted into the teaching,arts, or nursing professions.And for many others, it wastheir life and they went togreat lengths to pursue theirartistic calling.

When women supportedthemselves independently inthe arts, they professionally

worked as teachers, illustra-tors or engravers, or as artteachers within the schools. Afew were able to independent-ly support themselves as singlewomen solely through theirpaintings, but this wasextremely rare. Many marriedand were encouraged by theirspouses.

A significant number ofthese artists created a legacyfor later generations. Summerartist visitors settled in thearea, married permanent resi-dents, who then had childrenwho were themselves artists ageneration later in the laternineteenth or twentieth cen-tury. An example would beAlice Balch Stone, who was a

well-known summer residentwhose lineage goes back sev-eral generations through theChocorua summer residentsand their allied families. AliceBalch Stone herself created aWhite Mountain Art legacy:Ellen Eppelsheimer, herdaughter, who recently passedaway in Concord, NH, sum-mered in Chocorua and wasprofessionally involved in aca-demia. She was well known forher elegant silk screens, andwas active in the League ofNew Hampshire Crafts. Twoof her works hang in theauthor’s home.

One of the more so, well-known early White MountainWoman artists was Maria aBecket who died in 1904. Shewas the daughter of aPortland, Maine landscapepainter, Charles E. Beckett.She apparently changed thespelling of her last name topresent herself more dramati-cally. She illustrated travelguides to the WhiteMountains published for therailroad company by heruncle, Samuel E. Beckett. Shestudied with Homer DodgeMartin in the WhiteMountains in 1865 and laterstudied with William MorrisHunt in Boston from 1875 to1878. She also spent a summerin France working withDaubigny, a common practicefor more wealthy womenartists just as it was for theirmale counterparts. Her land-scapes in oil, watercolor andpencil were exhibited in thelatter half of the nineteenthcentury in such cities asPortland, Maine, Boston,New York, Philadelphia,Baltimore and Washington,D.C.

As we gradually learn moreabout women artists of theWhite Mountains, we canunderstand both the similari-ties and differences betweenthem and their male counter-parts. Women faced obstaclesthat men did not face, andtheir accomplishments makesingular examples of the socialhistory of women in the arts.In this way, the WhiteMountains themselves playeda significant part in women’shistory of the era.

Them FargoBrothers willride in frommany direc-tions to bandtogether to sing

the one sound that is their own.In their heyday of the late

1970’s and 1980’s, the band per-formed their good time, jugband sound throughout theMount Washington Valley, atthe Pizza Barn in Ossipee, withregular stints at the former OxenYoke (today Oxen Yoke Inn) andBrothers II pubs, the present dayRed Parka Steakhouse and Pub,Horsefeathers Restaurant andaprès ski at Bretton Woods skiresort.

Their music is a mix of tradi-tional country, western, rock,blues, and not too forget theiroriginal: “Ain’t No U.F.O.(Gonna Catch My Diesel).Writer Jeffrey Mandell said, inthe March 1979 issue of the“Sweet Potato:” “Them Fargosare thought of as a localresource, like the mountains andsnow.” The band had a hugelocal following. At the time oftheir glory all band memberslived in the Mount WashingtonValley.

Now for the second time,since the group has gone theirseparate ways, Them FargoBrothers is back for a cameoappearance at HorsefeathersRestaurant on November 10thand 11th and at the Red ParkaSteakhouse and Pub onNovember 12th. Proceeds fromthe concert at the Red Parka willbe donated to the Dewey MarkScholarship Fund and to floodvictims of hurricane Irene, whileproceeds from Horsefeatherswill go towards sound reinforce-ment and recording.

Drummer John Dudli, bandmember since about 1976, who

has been painting in the Valleythis summer, was on hand to tellabout the celebrated gang.

“It was the best times of mylife, when you could make a liv-ing playing in a band,” saysDudli, who know resides in Ft.Meyers Beach, FL, not far fromsinger songwriter Bill “Doc”Madison who founded the bandalong with Danny McCarthy,Bob Cormier and Brad “Buck”Cardoza. Early members alsoincluded drummer David“Rimshot” Allen (later to joinDevonsquare), bass guitar Bill“Slim” Rost, guitar and key-board, Tony “Cincinnati”Birckhead. Steel guitar playerBruce Geiger from Syracusejoined a bit later bringing alongdrummer Dudli who replacedAllen.

Other band member over theyears have included: SonnyFinnen, John Broncarto, PeterBurrows, Damon Balduc,George “Saxophone” Smith,John Merril, Mike Casserly andTex Goldberg, who sadly passedaway.

Them Fargo Brothers had anunusual business model back inthe days. They operated as part-nership, everyone sharingresponsibilities, granting insur-ance and vacation time, saysDudli. “In the band, everyonehad jobs. Bruce Geiger madesure the wiring worked, Ibooked the bands, Tony“Cincinnati”, now a shrink inOhio, did press work,” saysDudli.

Over time it became more dif-ficult to get regular gigs. “Itbecame harder and harder tobook a band, especially rightbefore school started and aroundChristmas, not a lot of moneyaround. No way to make a living,not enough places. It used to beyou could play three nights thenit was down to one night asplaces hired DJ’s instead,” saysDudli. Fortunately we were all

versed in other things, he adds.The band went on their sepa-

rate journeys in the early 1990’s.Dudli lives in Florida, not farfrom Madison, who landscapesand still sings. The two gettogether and jam in Madison’srecording studio. “Bruce lives inScranton, Slim near Phoenix,Tony in Cincinnati, Brad, NewBedford. Bob Cormier, born inOntario, heard he went into pro-fessional wrestling. This(reunion) is not to go on tour butwe are doing this for fun,” saysDudli. There are some bandmembers who haven’t beenlocated and some that can’t makeit. “Bill Madison, Bill Rost, BradCardoza, Bruce Geiger, TonyBirckhead, John Broncarto willbe coming. I heard that DamonBalduc might appear, too,” saysDudli, who will, of course, be onthe drums.

How do guys from NewEngland, Pennsylvania, NewYork, Ohio and Canada come upwith the name Them FargoBrothers?

“We were looking for a name,we all had nicknames,” says John“Crudly” Dudli.

“We threw around ‘BuckyCargo”, then came to Fargo,Wells Fargo, The FargoBrothers,” says Dudli. Turns out,

there was a wresting team withthat name so they ended up withThem Fargo Brothers. Fargowas fitting with our countrywestern style; you can’t help butthink… Wells Fargo, addsDudli.

After their first reunion atHorsefeathers in November of2009, they decided it was somuch fun they had to do it again.“It was so much fun, how comewe haven’t done this sooner. Weplayed two nights last time andthought we’d do it again,” saysDudli.

Fun and seeing old acquain-tances is what people can expectto have. “Expect to see a lot ofpeople you haven’t seen in a longtime and to dance your feet off,”says Dudli.

Dudli is so looking forward tothe band’s reunion. “I can’t waitto play, I get a little misty the firstsong,” he says.

CONCORD — Three newfunding sources to help pay forsearch and rescue costs acrossthe state will be outlined in areport of the SB128 StudyCommittee.

Legislators on the jointSenate-House committeecharged with finding newsources of money to make upthe $200,000 shortfall in searchand rescue (SAR) fundingworking with top officers in thestate Fish and GameDepartment hammered out athree-pronged approach tosolve this thorny problem at ameeting on Tuesday, Oct. 25,chaired by Sen. LouD’Allesandro, a Democrat ofManchester.

Senator John Gallus ofBerlin plans to use this reportas the basis for a Senate bill thathe will file for the upcoming2012 session. “We’re trying tomake the Fish and GameDepartment whole withoutraising sportsmen’s fees,”Gallus said, noting that approx-imately $189,000 is now raisedfrom boat, snowmobile, andATV registrations.

Major Kevin Jordan ofGroveton served as Fish andGame’s spokesman, with Col.Marty Garabedian backing himup from time to time.

The first new funding sourcedesigned for the Fish andGame Search and Rescueaccount is to add $10 to alreadyexisting fine penalties. With

some 2,000 issued every year,this would raise an estimated$20,000. A typical summons isfor $250 fine.

The second new fundingsource would establish a three-tiered baseline reimbursementcharge for all SAR services,excluding those who can showproof of a valid hunting-fishinglicense, OHRV-ATV or boatregistration, indicating that a$1 SAR surcharge has alreadybeen paid.

The beneficiary of any rescuethat costs between $500 and$999 would be required toreimburse the Department bypaying $350. On average, 90such rescues have taken place ineach of the last three years, sothis would raise an estimated$31,500 a year.

The beneficiary of any rescuethat costs between $1,000 and$1,499 would be required toreimburse the Department bypaying $600. On average, 60rescues have taken place in eachof the last three years, so thiswould raise an estimated$36,000 a year.

The beneficiary of any rescuethat costs $1,500 or morewould be required to reimbursethe Department by paying a flat$1,000. On average, 35 suchrescues take place each year, sothis would raise an estimated$35,000 a year.

Taken together, this wouldraise an estimated $102,500.

As now, hikers who requirerescue because of negligencewould still to be charged what

the service actually cost. Noreimbursement chargewould be made, however, forsearching for a minor underthe age of 18 who died.“None of us could do that,”Jordan said.

The third new fundingsource would be to create avoluntary Hike Safe Cardthat costs $18 annually.Anyone who purchases thiscard would not only have thesatisfaction of contributingto SAR operations, butwould also not be asked forany reimbursement of costs,unless negligence wereinvolved.

When asked for her takeon this proposal — an adap-tation of the ColoradoOutdoor Recreation Searchand Rescue (CORSAR) card— AMC vice president ofconservation Susan Arnoldreplied that the Club wouldget behind this effort, linkingthe AMC’s website to that ofthe state Fish and GameDepartment where the cardcould be purchased online. If5,000-plus such cards weresold — which Jordan admit-ted is a very ambitious goal— then $77,500 would beraised, this after a $3 vendorfee is deducted. “We’ll reachout to the hiker community,”Arnold pledged.

Taken together, these newefforts would raise the need-ed $200,000, freeing up themonies now being spent onSAR to replace neededequipment, such as cruisers,patrol boats, and training,Jordan explained. Also sug-gested, a SAR license platedeveloped, similar to theMoose Plate

The N.H. Division ofHistorical Resources is pleasedto announce that a NewHampshire Historical HighwayMarker has been installed atWeeks State Park in Lancaster.The marker commemorates thesigning of the Weeks Act, whichcelebrates its 100th anniversarythis year. The marker reads:“The Weeks Act: 2011

“The Lodge atop Mt.Prospect was the summer homeof John Wingate Weeks (1860 –1926), renowned ‘Father of theEastern National Forests,'author of the Weeks Act, passedby the U.S. Congress, March 1,1911. The Act enables the gov-ernment to buy privately ownedland to be ‘permanentlyreserved, held and administeredas national forest lands,’ for theprotection, development, anduse of their natural resources.Much of the White MountainNational Forest (WMNF), oneof the 48 forests made possibleby the Weeks Act, can beviewed from the Lodge andfrom the fieldstone fire towernear the Lodge.”

New Hampshire’s historicalhighway markers illustrate thedepth and complexity of ourhistory and the people who

made it, from the lastRevolutionary War soldier tocontemporary sports figures topoets and painters who usedNew Hampshire for inspira-tion; from 18th-century meet-ing houses to stone arch bridgesto long-lost villages; from facto-ries and cemeteries to siteswhere international history wasmade.

An interactive map of all ofthe state’s historical highwaymarkers is available at the N.H.

Division of HistoricalResources’ website,www.nh.gov/nhdhr.

The N.H. Division ofHistorical Resources and N.H.Department of Transportationjointly manage the NewHampshire Historical HighwayMarker Program.

Students in grades 3-6 participated in the NewEngland CommonAssessment Program(NECAP), while students ingrade K-2 participated in theNorthwest EvaluationAssociation (NWEA) comput-er testing. Both measuresallow school staff to evaluatestudents and help determineareas of strength and weaknessindividually, at each gradelevel, and school wide.

Student councilorganized this effort.Rainbow groups, our all-gradeadvisory groups, met and hada picnic lunch in a designatedspot between school and thechurch. After lunch, studentsand staff participated in pass-ing the items one-by-one untilthey reached the front steps ofthe church. The weather was

cool but warm, and everyoneenjoyed being outside and tak-ing part in our school widecommunity service event.

The third grade, with teach-ers Mrs. Spaulding and Mrs.Nelson, had a Harvest Festivalto celebrate the fall season.Parents were invited to comein and help prepare home-made soups using vegetablesfrom families’ gardens, carvepumpkins, and make seasonaldesserts. It was a well-attend-ed and enjoyed by students,staff and families alike.

If you are inter-ested in a becoming an Oasistutor, please contact theschool for more information.

In kindergarten, studentscelebrated Halloween with aFall Harvest Celebration.They made a delicious pump-kin cake, granola, carvedpumpkins, and roasted theseeds with the help of parentvolunteers. Students have

The clinic is available for allgirls, in 2nd – 12th grade, whoare interested in learning newlacrosse skills and strategies,meeting new friends, and hav-

ing fun! All girls are asked tocome prepared with equip-ment (stick, mouth guard, andgoggles) if they have it. Someequipment will be available toborrow. Bring water as well.

members from the MWVU19 Girls Club Team.

You can register for the clin-ic on-line atwww.MWVLAX.com or reg-ister the day of the event.

Women's lacrosse is a sportplayed with twelve players andits name is sometimes short-ened to wlax or lax and theIndigenous peoples of theAmericas originally played it.The first tribe to play was theHauser tribe, of the GreatPlains. Modern women'slacrosse was introduced in1890 at the St Leonard’s

School in Scotland. The rulesof women's lacrosse differ sig-nificantly from men's fieldlacrosse.

Known as the "fastest sporton two feet, lacrosse is a tradi-tional Native American gamewhich was first witnessed byEuropeans when French Jesuitmissionaries in the St.Lawrence Valley witnessed thegame in the 1630s, but a girlnamed Nichauser brought itto the Americas in the 1630’s.

Rosabelle Sinclair, knownaffectionately as the "GrandDame of Lacrosse", estab-

lished the first women'slacrosse team in the UnitedStates. She was the firstwoman to be inducted into theNational Lacrosse Hall ofFame. She stated:

“It is true that the object inboth the men's and women'slacrosse is to send a ballthrough a goal by means ofthe racket, but whereas menresort to brute strength thewomen depend solely onskill."

Come witness, understand,play and enjoy this truly won-derful and exciting sport!!

OOnn tthhee RRoocckkppiilleeGreat Visibility With Little Precipitation

by Kevin CroninMWO Intern

After an early Nor’Easter onthe east coast, and over teninches of snow on the summit,winter appeared to be here onthe summit last week.However this week turned outto be a fairly mild and clearweek besides a brief stink ofunpleasant weather onThursday and Friday. Theweek began with clear condi-tions as a high-pressure sys-tem dominated the NewEngland area. A mild wester-ly flow generated by the high,

allowed temperatures to reachinto the upper 30s on Tuesday.This nice weather would soonchange Wednesday evening asa cold front extending from alow pressure in Canadaadvanced through the area.The front diminished visibili-ty, increased winds, droppedtemperatures below freezingand helped rouse a few snowshowers. Winds shifted to thenorthwest after the frontalpassage allowing colder air tofilter in from Canada.Temperatures dipped into theteens Friday as snow showers

once again started due to aminor shortwave behind thecold front. Fortunately forthe summit a high-pressuresystem built in from thesouthwest Friday night allow-ing the next three days to bebeautiful.

Saturday morning skiescleared and visibility increasedto over 130 miles. At aroundnine in the morning a greatview of the Atlantic Oceancould be seen southeast fromthe observatory deck. Thereflection of light off theocean, generated by the sun’s

angle with the ocean, helpedcreate a golden sea able to beseen by the naked eye. SebagoLake can be seen in the centralportion of the photo Isnapped. Just above this lakeyou can see a thin sliver of theAtlantic Ocean, which is over70 miles away!

The clear skies were accom-panied by an unseasonablewarming trend Saturday intoMonday morning from a mildflow of air off the backside of ahigh-pressure system sta-tioned on the east coast.Monday morning tempera-tures started off atypical forthis time of year with temper-atures in the lower 40s. Theylater decreased in the after-noon as a cold frontapproached from the north-west increasing cloud coveroverhead. The summit soonbecame blanketed in fog, tem-peratures dipped below freez-ing and winds increased to 60mph.

Luckily for the summit

crew, the event was brief asconditions improved in themorning recovering back toweather similar to the week-end. This week the crew wasspoiled with great visibility,warmer than average tempera-tures and little precipitation.The crew hopes it can last alittle longer but we know win-ter’s lurking.

The Atlantic Ocean, over 70-miles away, is seen from the Rockpile!

The first day ofNovember wasa late fall gem,sunny and inthe 40s – per-

fect for wandering around theentertaining trail network inthe Chocorua ConservationLands.

This 700-acre tract sprawlsacross rolling terrain south ofMt. Chocorua and northwest

of Chocorua Lake. Managedby the Chocorua LakeConservation Foundation andthe Nature Conservancy, itconsists of the Clark Reserve,the Frank Bolles NatureReserve, and the Mary P. ScottNature Reserve. The public iswelcome to use the trails;camping, fires and motorizedvehicles are not allowed.

Before setting out, I drovedown Route 16 to the south

end of Chocorua Lake for thefamous water-and-mountainview of Mt. Chocorua and theSandwich Range. The lakewas calm and glassy, allowingfor near-flawless reflections.

I drove back north to ScottRoad (marked with a newsign), which leads a half-mileto the parking area for theHammond Trail up Mt.Chocorua. This is the easiestaccess to the Chocorua

Conservation Lands, thoughit is not always plowed in win-ter. A “TNC Bolles Reserve”sign across from the parkingarea showed the way to thepicturesque field at the oldHammond farm, a privatesummer residence whoseowners generously permitaccess across their land to thetrails.

At the edge of the field Iturned left on the Heron Pond

Photo by Steve SmithHeron Pond, also known as Lonely Lake, a scenic glacial kettle pond accessed by trails in the Chocorua Conservation Lands on south side of Mt. Chocorua. Starting fromHammond trailhead off Scott Rd. hikers make a 5.3-mile loop that includes the pond, a viewpoint on Bickford Heights, and an assortment of large glacial boulders

A late fall loop with lots of varietyRAMBLING ‘ROUND THE CHOCORUA CONSERVATION LANDS

Trail and followed it into thewoods. Shortly I came to atrail register that showed Earbiking columnist PeterMinnich and Sally McMurdopaying a visit here lastDecember. And there was thisheartwarming entry made bysomeone this June: “Went toHeron Pond. Proposed andshe said yes!”

Even on the first ofNovember, the hardwoodsaround Heron Pond – mostlyoak – were vibrant with fallcolor. I followed the side pathto the shore and was happy tosee that the water level of thisglacial kettle pond, which canfluctuate dramatically, wasback to normal. Last year atthis time, Carol and I foundthe water level way down, withthe cove at the north end com-pletely dry.

The naturalist Frank Bolles,who owned a home near here,called this place “A LonelyLake” in his 1893 book “At

the North of BearcampWater.” He spent many hoursat the shore, “learning thesecrets of its tenants.” Duringmy half-hour sojourn in themorning sun, local denizenspassing by included a squawk-ing straggle of Blue Jays and awild-crying PileatedWoodpecker.

From the shore I could seemy next objective, a low ridgecalled Bickford Heights, risingabove the trees west of thepond. To get there, I followedthe Heron Pond Trail south,turned right on the MiddleTrail, then left onto theBickford Heights Trail. Whilemany of the ConservationLands paths are easy-goingwoods roads, BickfordHeights is a mountain trail,with steep pitches and rockyfooting.

At the top (elevation 1,060feet), a ledgy area offered anice lunch spot with a framedview to Sandwich Dome and

Mt. Israel out at the far west-ern reach of the SandwichRange.

The descent down the westside of Bickford Heights wassteep, with slippery, trickyledges. But the pitch didn’tlast long, and soon I reachedthe junction with the Old MailRoad amidst a collection ofimpressive glacial boulders.The giant rock beside theintersection is one of thebiggest I’ve seen in the WhiteMountains.

Next I turned left on theOld Mail Road – in earlierdays an important route con-necting Tamworth andConway – and followed itsouth for a half-mile. Part ofthis section rides the crest ofan esker, a narrow, gravelly,steep-sided ridge deposited byglacial meltwater.

At a sign for “SplittingStone” I turned left on anobscure path which led 0.2mile along a yellow-blazed

boundary, then swung left to alarge rock from which severalfoundation slabs had beendrilled out by early settlers foruse in house construction. Forsome reason these were neverused, and a line of drill marksfor another slab could be seenalong the side of the largerock.

I retraced my steps to theOld Mail Road/BickfordHeights Trail junction, con-tinued north on Old MailRoad, and soon turned leftonto the Hunter’s Trail. Thispath climbed onto a remoteupland plateau cloaked in astill-colorful hardwood forest.Along the way was the“Hunter’s Blind,” a screen ofrocks stacked up in the woods.Perhaps in days gone by localdeer slayers to get the drop ona big buck used it.

Approaching the junctionwith the Highland Trail, theway led between two towering

boulders, a clever bit of routelocation. At 1,220 feet of ele-vation, this is the highest pointreached by the trails in theConservation Lands.

It was an all downhill runfrom here on the moderatelysteep Highland Trail and thenon to the gentle Old MailRoad. The last slanting rays ofthe sun lit up the oaks on BaldMountain as I crossed the fieldback at the Hammond farm,completing a rewarding 5.3-mile hike.

The ChocoruaConservation Lands trails areshown on the excellentWODC map of the SandwichRange, though only two of thetrails are named. A few yearsago the Chocorua LakeConservation Foundationpublished an informative“Guide to the ChocoruaConservation Lands,” but it’shard to find a copy.

It could save your life.

It’s a twisted trail that leadsfrom Coos County toNashua and back, andthen to a New York Timespiece on joblessness and

the quandary of whether toaccept part-time work or holdout for a full-time job.

The story in the October 10Times dealt with the allegedstigma associated with part-timeemployment. Evidently, in someparts of the country full-timeemployment means that you’rea winner and part-time jobsmean that you’re a loser. It washard for me to reconcile thatdistinction with where I live andwork, a region where manyhouseholds are supported byparents working two or threepart-time jobs, and kids workingat whatever jobs they can find.

The lead elements in theTimes story dealt with a formerMiami mortgage banker who,through a fluke in which aneighbor asked him to mow hislawn for a few bucks, built agrounds-care business that isnow ponying up a healthy, if notmainstream, income. He was soembarrassed that he asked thathis name not be printed.Another vignette related theplight of a man who has 17 yearsof banking experience andspeaks three languages, and isstill awaiting word on his appli-

cation to a Walmart. These areamong the hundreds of thou-sands of stories that make up thenational figure of 8.8 millionAmericans working part-time,and untold numbers of otherswho have quit looking for jobs.

I don’t have to be told abouthow bad things are. I live in apart of the country that hasalmost been punched to itsknees, although we are tooproud to ever go quite that low.Suffice to say that we’ve lostpaper mills, a huge furniture fac-tory, a rubber-based manufac-turing plant, and are now threat-ened with big blows to ourtourism industry.“Hardscrabble” does not evenbegin to cover it.

Thus I had to wonder at someof the examples the Times piecedredged up to illustrate the mireof part-time work. First, most ofus have done part-time workand would do so again if needbe. Second, part-time workoften leads to full-time jobs.This is an axiom known to any-one who has ever run a business,big or small. Talent and smartsare in short supply, and thosewho can demonstrate a goodwork ethic and job performanceto match tend to get snapped upwhenever a full-time positionopens.

So I had to wonder about thebanker turned landscaper andmowing mogul. What’s to hanghis head about here? And thebanker with three languages.Walmart? I’d be camping out atthe doors of the hundreds ofmultinationals who wantAmericans with a good founda-tion to do their translations,whether overseas or here. If youare well-read, fluent in a secondlanguage or two, and have adecent personality, the opportu-nities are limitless.

Perhaps my French-Irish ide-alism is running away with mehere, but I can’t help citing per-sonal experience. The year

1968, after I’d done everythingfrom shoveling driveways tobagging groceries to caddying toworking at sporting camps tocutting pulp to working at a fur-niture factory, found me push-ing lumber around at theLorden Lumber Company inMilford. Just after I’d aimedhigh, having worked at graderVern Howard’s elbow in theplaning mill and taken the testto become a certified softwoodgrader at Flagg’s Mill in Maine,I took a day off to look for an

inside job, any inside job, indowntown Nashua. A hunchand the smell of ink led me towalk through the front door atthe Nashua Telegraph.

Bill Bean, the general manag-er, asked me what I had to offer.Not much---no newspaperexperience, no college degree(dropped out in my first year),couldn’t even type. But I toldhim I could learn any job fasterand do it better than anyone elsewho might walk through thedoor. I was brash enough to

believe it.He believed it too, and I got a

job in the newsroom, learningphotography, darkroom work,and photo-engraving. Beforelong, Mike Shalhoup stuck a bigfour-by-five Speed Graphic inmy hands, and growled, “Go getsome pictures.” I did, taking myfirst front-page picture of a catcrossing the soon to be closedand replaced Nashua-Hudsonbridge.

I practiced and honed myphotography skills on my kids.My all-time favorite is in my liv-ing room at the South Hillfarmhouse in Colebrook to thisday. It is a setup shot showingdaughter Karen, who now runsColebrook’s News and Sentinel,sitting on an earthenware jug infront of one of the side-windowsthat frame the 1850 house’sancient front door. Aside frombeing a sentimental favorite, itwas one of the images that pro-pelled me into a news-paperingand magazine career spanningmore than four decades, andcounting.

Looking at the Times story,and reflecting on the then andnow, I came to several conclu-sions. Given my background, orlack of same, I was extremelylucky to land a full-time job. Ifoffered the choice, I’d havetaken a part-time job with thedetermination to soon work myway to full. And as a last option,I’d have offered to work for amonth as a trainee, for free, on ahunch that I’d find a way toweasel my way into the fold. BillBean, thank the stars, didn’thave a clue about what wasgoing on in my head.
