The Great North Woods Vintage
Snowmobile Series, now in its eighth year,

Pullers have joined the Pittsburg Ridge
Runners and Umbagog Snowmoble
Association for this year’s series, which
continues with races in Northwood on

“The Northwood Crank Pullers have
been asking for years if we would hold a
vintage series race at their location,”
explained organizer Keith Landry of
Pittsburg. “When the Colebrook Ski-bees
dropped out of the series we decided it
would be a great way to continue the fourrace series for our racers, without having
to worry about having enough volunteers

HARRIET MANGELS
Harriet Ann (Geidel) Mangels, 96, of
Littleton and formerly of Danbury, Conn.,
died on Tuesday, December 30, 2014 at the
Grafton County Nursing Home in North
Haverhill. She was the widow of Robert D.
Mangels.
Born in the Bronx, N.Y., on February 25,
1918, she was the daughter of the late
Alfred and Sarah (Stafford) Geidel.
After graduating from high school in
1936, she went to work to help her family
through the Depression and war years.
Following the war and while working at
American Can Company, she met the love
of her life, Robert D. Mangels, and they
were married on May 24, 1947.
While raising her family in Hicksville,
N.Y., she was active at St Stephen’s
Church, and with the American Legion
Auxiliary.
Upon moving to Danbury in 1968,
Harriet joined St Paul’s Church and later
the Danbury Drum Corps Auxiliary, and
secretly took classes to obtain a driver’s
license at age 51. She returned to
American Can (then in Greenwich) for a
few years, and they both retired in 1976.
Later Harriet and Bob joined King Street
Church, which lead them to more wonderful people, lasting relationships, and activities including the choir, special chorus and
annual plays. Together they tutored at a
local school and added senior bowling
leagues to their many activities.
Their love story was interrupted two
days after their 60th wedding anniversary
by Bob’s death. Harriet was sustained by
her special friends for several years.
She moved to Riverglen House in
Littleton in April of 2012, but never transitioned well from serving others to having
to be served. As aging necessitated, Harriet
moved to The Morrison Nursing Home in
Whitefield and finally to the Grafton
County Nursing Home in December.
In addition to her parents and her
beloved husband, Harriet was preceded in
death by sisters Florence Sherbo and
Adelaide Taylor.
Harriet is survived by sons William H.
Mangels II of Las Vegas, Nev., Robert A.
Mangels and his wife Carole of South
Hadley, Mass., and Thomas R. Mangels
and his wife Linda of Colebrook; grandchildren Robert, James, Brian-Jack and
Barbara Mangels, Scott (Sally) Mosher of
Littleton, and Amy (Mark) SullivanMartini of Colebrook; great-grandchildren
Ramey and Meggie Harper-Mangels, Jared
and Julius Sullivan and Jamie Martini;
three nieces, five nephews, and some very
special friends.
The family received friends at the Hull
Funeral Home in Danbury, Conn., on
Monday evening, January 5. A funeral was
held at the King Street United Church of
Christ in Danbury on Tuesday, with burial
at Wooster Cemetery in Danbury.
Information and on-line condolences are

Three-Day Dogsled Race Postponed
until March Due to Lack of Snow
Organizers of the Great North Woods
Sled Dog Challenge have postponed the
event due to the lack of snow. Milan,
Pittsburg and Colebrook will each host a
stage of the second annual race, which
will likely be rescheduled for mid-March.
“We are disappointed that we need to do
this but were aware from the start that
there was a risk in planning a race for midJanuary,” said Jaye Foucher of the North
Country Mushers said on Monday. “We
were hoping that last night’s storm would
dump the predicted foot of snow on the
trails, but the report we received from
Pittsburg today was that they only
received around four inches in the North
Country. We would need well over a foot
more of snow to hold the race, and there
are no significant storms in the long-range
forecast.”
Ms. Foucher said the postponement is a
plus in some ways, as it provides more
time to promote the race and raise a larger
purse, and she said there were a few racers
who couldn’t make the January date but
can participate in March. “In addition, it
gives us time to do something that has
been requested: add a second class to the
race with shorter distances, a ‘sprint’ stage
class,” she said. “This should draw in even
more racers.”
The North Country Mushers coordinate
this event with additional help from the
Colebrook Ski-Bees, Pittsburg Ridge
Runners and White Mountain Ridge
Runners. The new schedule will be
announced as soon as the new dates are
confirmed among all participating organizations, and updates may be found on-line
at www.NHStageRace.com.

Past, Present, and Midge
By Midge Rosebrook
When Old-Fashioned Common
Sense Is Left in the Mail Bag
Two or three falls ago, the Cotter brothers Robert and Norman came up to 25 Hill
Street with their lawn tractors and vacuumed up every leaf on our lawn, just as a
favor. Anyone who knows these two can
tell you that this gesture of kindness isn’t
anything new. The entire Cotter family is
legendary in these parts for their many
random acts of kindness, just because.
So I sent them thank-you notes, but a
few days later, Norman’s was returned. I
mailed it using the address in the phone
book, but whoever delivers the mail up
there couldn’t stick it in his mailbox
because of a glitch in the address.
I was mildly annoyed. Who doesn’t
know where Norman and Bonnie Cotter
live? They’ve lived in the same place for
years. Well, so be it. Shortly thereafter
Glynda and I were on our way to the Job
Lot, so I stopped at Norman’s and stuffed
the note in his mailbox myself.
Then, just this last Christmas season, it
happened again. We mailed a Christmas
card to John and Pam Jaworowski, who
live in Groveton. John is the manager at
Schurman Motors in Lancaster, and the
president of the Northern Gateway
Chamber of Commerce. John and Pam are
a well-known and well respected couple in
the North Country.
However, our mail person up there,
again for the reason of a small glitch in
addressing, couldn’t find their home. It
must be tough for our mail carriers in
Groveton trying to locate just one out of
the thousands of Jaworowski families in
town.
Many years ago my Aunt Edna once told
me of a story that took place in 1945. She
was a young lady in her twenties who, like
so many young women during World War
II, had a sweetheart in the Army. His name
was Richard Monahan.
It was almost two months since Edna
had received a letter from Dick, and the
news coming from overseas was bleak.
The Battle of the Bulge had raged on for
45 days and she knew Dick’s company
was involved in this terrible battle. Then
one night near the tail end of February,
while a Northeaster was blowing outside
dumping tons of snow at around 8:30
p.m., the Rosebrook family was about to
turn off the radio and head upstairs to bed.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
For those who lived during that time, a
knock at the door this late at night isn’t
good. Edna’s brother Vernon was in the
Army. The entire family froze—please
don’t let it be a telegram, they were all
thinking. Finally, gathering some courage,
Edna got up and answered the door. It was
Leonard James, the postmaster.
He’d stayed late at the post office, as he
did most nights, due to the huge amount of
mail that had to be sorted for the next day.
Then Mr. James came across a letter from
Dick Monahan—a letter written on a battlefield 4,000 miles away, loaded onto a
truck, from there to a plane bound for New
York City. This little letter then traveled
by train north to White River, transferred
to another train and finally made its way
to the Lancaster post office.
In the kindest of gestures, as tired as he
was, Mr. James walked all the way from
the post office, up to 122 Middle Street
and handed this most important letter to
Edna personally. (Gasoline was in short
supply, so he walked to work every day).
“I knew that you’d want this letter as soon
as possible, Edna—it’s from Dick.”
I believe the address, whether correct or
not, was of no consequence to him. He
simply did the right thing. This is something that our small towns were known
for, personal stuff the big cities lacked—
until now, it seems. I’m not sure what Mr.
James’ salary was back then, but I doubt it
would be the monetary equivalent of the
$40,000 to $60,000, along with the excellent benefits, that our postal workers enjoy
today.
After knowing the above heartwarming
story that took place during the worst of
times, for me, not having John and Pam’s
Christmas card delivered is small potatoes. Not to worry, though—I hand-delivered it to John myself on Christmas Eve at
the Schurman Motor Company, wrong
address and all.

his later years at Michaud Memorial

years at the Coös County Nursing Hospital

Bob enjoyed the simple things of life.
Making puzzles, doing word search, playing table games (especially Crazy 8) and
watching select TV shows were among his
favorite things to do. While at Michaud
Manor, an assisted living facility run by
the Catholic Diocese of Burlington, Bob
enjoyed visiting with other residents, praying the rosary with them and attending
Mass when possible. Bob was loved by his
caretakers and residents wherever he
resided. He had a special way of bringing
joy into life.
He is survived by his father, Bernard
Routhier of Pillsbury Manor South in
South Burlington, Vt., and his step-mom,
Angele (Garneau) Routhier of Lemington
and Florida; his brothers, Guy (Lorraine

Applications Being Accepted for Fuel
& Electricity Assistance Programs
Tri-County Community Action Program
is still taking applications for the New
Hampshire Fuel Assistance and Electric
Assistance programs. Those who have not
yet applied for assistance are encouraged
to contact one of CAP’s local offices to
make an appointment.
The Fuel Assistance Program provides
grants for eligible households to help pay
for their heating expenses. Applications
for this seasonal program will be taken
through the end of April. Both renters and
homeowners may qualify for the program,
which determines eligibility by household
size and gross household income.
Benefits are provided in the form of a
credit with the heating supply vendor. The
program can also assist tenants who pay
for their heat indirectly through their rent.
Applicants are required to apply for assistance each heating season and submit documentation for household members and
their income.
The Electric Assistance Program can
provide a discount on a household’s
monthly electric bill. This program operates year-round, and again, both renters
and homeowners are eligible. The electric
bill must be in the name of an adult household member. Eligibility is determined
taking into account household size and
gross income. The level of discount is
determined by the household income with
the lowest income households receiving
the largest discount amount. Household
must recertify each year to remain eligible.
Income guidelines are listed by household size and 30-day income limit: one
person, $1,919; two people, $2,586; three
people, $3,253; four people, $3,920; five
people, $4,588; six people, $5,255; seven
people, $5,923; eight people, $6,590.
Those who wish to apply may contact
the nearest Tri-County CAP office: Berlin,
752-3248; Colebrook, 237-8168; or
Lancaster, 788-4477.

Haitian-American poet and educator
Mckendy Fils-Aimé will offer workshops,
performances and open mics during a
week-long residency in northern New
Hampshire from January 11-18, including a
performance in Colebrook on the 15th.
Writers, youth, families and the public
are invited to participate in the events, presented by the Arts Alliance of Northern
New Hampshire and taking place in
Bethlehem, Berlin, Bristol, Colebrook,
Jackson, Lincoln, Plymouth and Tamworth.
Mckendy performs slam poetry, an exciting and energetic performance style of
poetry that engages youth and adults alike.
An organizer and co-host of the long-running and wildly popular “Slam Free or
Die” in Manchester, Mckendy teaches
poetry to students and adults in New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, and has
competed at poetry slams throughout the
country.
A seven-time veteran of the National
Poetry Slam and a Pushcart nominee, he
resides in Manchester and is currently
working on his debut poetry collection,
“Prayer in the Cracks.”
“Slam is one of today’s most exciting
ways to introduce poetry to students,” said
Mckendy. “This performance style makes
poetry accessible for everyone. I’m looking
forward to sharing my own story and working with local students and community
members to explore new approaches to
poetry and storytelling.”
“If you’ve never heard of slam poetry or
been to a poetry slam, you won’t want to
miss your chance for an introduction,” says

to make it happen.”
Points from the Northwood event will
be calculated with the northern scores and
it will be promoted as a Great North
Woods Vintage Series race. “Northwood
has been holding their own races for years
now and since the beginning have adopted
our rules and class structure,” Mr. Landry
said.
The series offers 17 classes based upon
the engine size for sleds manufactured in
1974 (except for the Mod class, which
goes to 1978) and older that are fancooled or free-air, single or twin cylinder.
New classes this year are the 340 MOD
Free Air and Pure Stock Bogie Wheel;
complete race rules and registration are
available on-line, at www.thegreatnorthwoodssnowmobilerace.com.
All the tracks are accessible by automobile or snowmobile and utilize the natural
terrain of the land, and Pittsburg’s track is
situated on Farr Road off of Back Lake
Road. The Pittsburg Ridge Runners’ volunteer race crew has been working in the
off-season to rock-rake and reconstruct
the track to improve conditions for the
upcoming season, and the grooming team
will have the track in tip-top shape for this
Saturday’s opening race.
For all classes, there are qualifying
heats, last-chance qualifiers as necessary,

The Way It Should Be
(Continued From Page 1)
This innovative program instructs participants on using a holistic approach to
develop whole farm plans. Participants
from across New Hampshire will meet for
ten sessions that will cover: goal-setting,
financial and business planning, marketing, land and infrastructure planning, soil
fertility and grazing. The final three sessions will take place on farms to allow for
hands-on learning.
“The Holistic Management class taught
me the skills needed to organize not just
my farm plans, but also my family
finances and improve my time management skills,” said training participant
Christine Doherty Pressman of Jaffrey.
“All in all, the Holistic Management
course was one of the most valuable farming courses I have ever taken. “
Participants are provided with a mentor
and connected with a network of other
beginning women farmers throughout the
and feature races. Champions in each class
are crowned at the season finale on March
14.
Races start at 10 a.m. and continue
throughout the day. Hot food and drinks
are available at all the sites, and each race
has a $5 per-person entrance fee. Snow and
other weather conditions may require
changes in location, so those who plan to
travel should check the Web site for
updates.
don’t want this to get in the way of applying to college. We’d like to help make the
process as simple as possible so we are here
to help and get students moving forward with
their future goals.”
WMCC offers courses in Berlin, Littleton,
Conway and Colebrook, along with over 50
on-line courses, all with a recent five-percent
reduction in tuition. The college has a number of articulation agreements, so transferring into a four-year college for those interested in a bachelor’s degree is quick and
seamless. More information may be obtained

Northeast. Participants from previous
classes continue to meet after graduation
to stay connected, enjoy the camaraderie
formed during training, and expand their
learning.
The course costs $150 to $500 on a sliding scale, but scholarship money is available to ensure no one is turned away for
financial reasons. Applications for the
sixth year of this program are being
accepted now, and are available from New
Hampshire coordinator Kate Kerman, at
[email protected].
Sessions will begin on January 20 and
continue through mid-April, meeting from
9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on ten Tuesdays in the
Lancaster area. For those who cannot
attend in person, a distance-learning
option will be offered. An article in about

Would like to meet an active woman for possible relationship, who enjoys doing things outdoors in all seasons such as gardening, trips out
west, visiting local scenic spots, hiking, dining
out, snowshoeing, etc. Ideally mid-60s to
mid-70s, 5’2”-5’6” tall, average to slender,
who likes affection and is affectionate.
I am very honest & caring and feel a woman is
an equal. I am in my late 70s, in very good
health and active. I am not perfect, when I was
13, a thug threw a sharp stone and caused serious damage to my right eye, but that hasn’t
stopped me from doing anything I wanted,
including soloing aircraft over cities and countryside with FAA Officials signing my log
book. I have the body-build of a 60-year-old or
younger. I am not into playing games with
someone’s life and expect the same. I have
many interests including photography, medicine, adventure, and too many to list. I’m very
willing to share knowledge of mutual interests.
I like doing things together as much as practical as I feel it brings a couple closer. Life is
short and passes us by too fast, as there is so
much to enjoy. Above all, it is love that bonds
two together and is number 1! Would like that
we meet for lunch in a quiet setting of your
choice to start and see where it goes from
there. Contact at PO Box 164, Lancaster, NH
