OBITUARIES
REGINALD ABBOTT
Reginald Hervey Abbott, 88, of
Lancaster, died peacefully at the Veterans’
Administration Medical Center in White
River Junction, Vt., on Saturday, January
17, 2015.
Reg was born in Troy, N.H., on January
23, 1926, and was the son of Hervey
Abbott and Corinne Marotte. He had been
a resident of Lancaster most of his life.
Reg was a proud Navy veteran of World
War II. He served as a motor machinist’s
mate on several small warships and saw
action in the Pacific Theater.
After a brief post-war stay at Plymouth
State College and then Oklahoma to finish
an education interrupted by war, he and
his wife Alice (Cryan) settled in Lancaster
to raise a family. Reg spent most of his
working years at P.J. Noyes Company in
Lancaster. As a hardworking New
Englander and devoted family man he was
up well before dawn on most days to handle several part-time jobs in Lancaster
over the years, including various duties at
the Weeks Memorial Library, the
Democrat offices, and the Siwooganock
Bank. In his spare time he ran Abbott’s
Clock Shop out of his home.
After retiring he enjoyed working at the
Walmart in Littleton in the garden shop
and later as a greeter. Reg also did some
volunteer work for Meals on Wheels during the last years of his life.
Reg took great joy in spending time outdoors. He was an accomplished skier and
better-than-average tennis player, as many
local players can attest. In his later years
he particularly liked hiking Mt. Prospect
in Lancaster and riding his bike for miles
near town and in Vermont.
Reginald is survived by a son, Stephen
Abbott of Alexandria, Va.; a daughter,
Penny Durgin of Lancaster; five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, Reginald was
predeceased by his wife of more than 50
years, Alice, who died in 2006; and two
sons, Terry Michael, a U.S. Marine killed
in Vietnam in 1968, and Tracey Lee, who
died in 2011.
Memorial contributions may be made to
the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial
Foundation, www.vvmf.org; or the Meals
on Wheels Association of America,
www.mowaa.org.
At his request there were no calling
hours or services; his children are planning a memorial service in the spring.

Agnes L. Brooks, 78, of Colebrook,
died on Thursday afternoon, January 29,
2015 at the Catholic Medical Center in
Manchester, with several members of her
family by her side.
Agnes was born in West Stewartstown
on June 18, 1936, and was a daughter to
the late Hector J. and Florence (Thibeault)
Benoit, and she was raised on the family
farm in Stewartstown.
For many years Agnes was a homemaker, raising her children, but later also was
a caregiver in others’ homes and for local
elderly people. She loved to cook, and
loved to play all types of scratch tickets, at
which she was fairly successful. She
enjoyed keeping up with all the news and
current events, and she was known for her
sense of humor.
Agnes is survived by her children,
Norman Brooks and his wife Amy of
Stewartstown, Robert Brooks and his wife
Deborah of Stewartstown, Michael
Brooks and Stephen Brooks of Colebrook,
and Diane Merrill and her husband Scott
of Pittsburg; three sisters, Aleda Maurais
of Canaan, Rose Breault of Maine, and
Irene Jeffers of Concord; 11 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by two brothers,
Leon and Eddie Benoit; by two sisters,
Germaine Caron and Palmyra Dube; and a
grandson, Christopher Brooks.
Calling hours were held on Tuesday
evening, February 3, at the Jenkins &
Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook. A
Mass of Christian Burial was held at 10
a.m. on Wednesday, February 4 at St.
Brendan’s Catholic Church in Colebrook,

KEDRIC MERRILL
Kedric R. Merrill of Canaan died at the
Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital in
Colebrook late on Saturday evening,
January 31, 2015.
He was born in Pittsburg on August 4,
1923, and was a son of Roy Covell and
Sadie Pike. He attended local schools and
later served with honor in the Army during
World War II. He was wounded in
Germany toward the end of the war, and
was awarded a Purple Heart medal. After
returning home, he was married to
Theresa Lanctot in 1946.
For a few years the Merrills resided in
Pittsburg, and Kedric worked at Ethan
Allen in Beecher Falls. He later took a job
in California as an aircraft assembler at
Rohr Aircraft for 31 years. They retired to
Florida in 1993, and enjoyed touring the
entire continental U.S. in their motor
home.
Kedric was an avid reader, especially of
westerns, and he was a dedicated sports
fan, especially for the Boston Red Sox and
New England Patriots. He was a talented
rose gardener and won an award for the
best rose bush in Chula Vista, Calif., when
he lived there. Kedric was a member of
the VFW in Florida and the American
Legion Post 47 in Canaan.
He is survived by his wife of 69 years,
Theresa (Lanctot) Merrill of Canaan; a
half-brother,
Vernon
Merrill
of
Connecticut; a sister, Roena Kelley of
Goldendale, Wash.; a beloved nephew,
David Merrill of Enfield, Conn.; and a
special godson, Tyler Gray of Canaan;
along with numerous other nieces and
nephews.
He was preceded in death by an infant
son, David, and two half-brothers.
A memorial service will be held at 10
a.m. on Saturday, February 7 at the
Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in
Colebrook. Interment with military honors
will take place later in the spring at St.
Albert’s Cemetery in West Stewartstown.

MARIE-ANGE SAGE
Marie-Ange Sage, 98, of Lake Wallace,
died peacefully on Friday, January 30,
2015 at Pillsbury Manor in South
Burlington with her family by her side.
She was born a twin on December 18,
1916 in Stanhope, Québec, and was a
daughter of the late Joseph and Bertha
(Crete) Routhier. She attended Our
Presentation of St. Mary’s School in
Stanhope and was married to Arthur Sage
of Norton on August 25, 1936.
For 65 years Marie-Ange and Arthur
resided in Norton and Lake Wallace. She
primarily focused on raising seven children and helping her husband with the
farm, delivering mail, and baking homemade bread and doughnuts sold at local
grocery stores. People waited for Arthur to
show up with her baked goods.
She was a joyful person who loved to
sing and dance, and she especially loved a
challenge. There was nothing she wouldn’t do or try, living to laissez les bon temps
rouler or, let the good times roll. Driving
a tractor, racing on a snowmobile and
speed-walking were just a few of her pursuits that all will remember.
Her passion was to impart to all to learn
to appreciate what they have and keep life
simple. She was frequently heard to say,
“Life is a school and we are all here to
learn.”
A woman of great faith, she encouraged
all to trust in God, and said with His help
there was nothing one couldn’t achieve or
do. Her favorite song was “This is the day
the Lord hath made.” She loved people,
entertaining, traveling, and especially
playing cards.
She leaves behind five daughters, Rita
Martin, Bert and her husband Eddie
Vargas and Theresa Sage, all of
Bradenton, Fla., Doris Sage of Shelburne,
Vt., and Ann and her husband Victor
Peters of Vergennes, Vt.; two sons, Bernie
Sage of Shelburne, Vt., and Norman Sage
and his wife Samantha of Pelham, N.H.; a
sister, Rejeane MacAllister of Troy, Vt.;
two brothers, Bernard Routhier of South
Burlington, Vt., and Maurice Routhier of
Lakeworth, Fla.; 16 grandchildren, 13
great-grandchildren, three great-great
grandchildren; and many nieces and
nephews.
She was preceded in death by her loving
husband of 65 years, Arthur, in 2001, and

Past, Present, and Midge
By Midge Rosebrook
Lancaster Grand Prix, New England’s
Ice Racing Super Bowl
In its second year, the Lancaster Grand
Prix has established itself once again as
New England’s Premier ice racing Super
Bowl! It is, so far, the only event of its
kind this side of New York State.
There are many snow track races dotting
the North Country, and all of them are fine
events. Snow was the original racing surface for the first few Grand Prix events
beginning in 1962. But as horsepower
increased during the 1970s, so did the
speeds, and snow soon proved to be a
detriment. The reason is that the suspension travel on these early machines was
only around four or five inches. With
today’s machines sporting 14 inches of
travel, a severely chopped-up snow surface is a piece of cake, both to the sled and
to some extent the rider, as we see in snocross events. But a rough track—coupled
with little in the way of absorbing it—
caused many accidents, injuries and timeconsuming delays, leaving the fans who
were standing out in the cold a bit antsy.
Even with today’s state-of-the-art
groomers, much time is spent trying to
smooth the track surface after each race,
only to have it become rough again after
only two laps. With a hard, flat ice surface
such as that of the later Grand Prix events,
plus the advent of high-tech traction
devices such a studs and carbide runners,
handling became precise, speeds doubled
and these low-slung ice racers began turning faster lap times than stock cars did on
the same size speedways.
Of course, the down side was that when
an accident occurred at 90 miles per hour,
injuries were more serious. In 1978 when
Polaris’ Sno-Pro ace Jerry Bunke was
killed accidently by teammate Brad
Hulings, Polaris pulled the plug on all factory-sponsored ice racing in favor of snocross. Ski-doo, Arctic Cat and Yamaha
soon followed. Ice racing, as we knew it,
was over. For the next 35 years—with
Eagle River’s Snowmobile Derby being
the exception—ice racing was no more.
But today’s protective clothing is a far
cry from what your grandparents wore,
which was mainly hockey pads. With
Kevlar vests, shoulder, knee and elbow
pads, along with a much-improved safety
helmet, these new young lions are way
better protected from harm when compared to before. Yes, this new body armor
for the most part keeps them safe, as they
circumnavigate the solid ribbon of ice
between 85 and 100 miles per hour.
But nothing is guaranteed—snow racing
and ice racing are both exciting, but both
carry a danger warning label. As of right
now, we are the only ones in New England
providing the kind of racing that at one
LETTER TO EDITOR
To the Editor,
I am offering a $500 reward to the first
person who can show me a New
Hampshire, Vermont or Maine drinking
water source—private or municipal well,
spring or town water—that is not visibly
contaminated with the dust and fibers that
jets are spraying on us.
Hold a clear glass or jar of your water
between your eyes and the sun, and look
carefully through the sides of the container. Experiment with different viewing
angles and distances. A magnifying glass
can help.
If no contaminants are visible, try stirring, which puts the dust and fibers in
motion. If the sun is obscured by jet emis-
sions, examine the water in a darkened
room with strong and focused backlighting. Examine melted snow water, and you
will see horrifying amounts of contamination.
This winter falling snowflakes often
look like frosty bits of dryer lint that spin
as they descend. Try aiming a 75-watt
halogen floodlight (energy-saving bulbs
don’t work) into night fog, rain or snow,
and you will see large amounts of jet dust
in the air.
If your water is truly free of particulates,
I want to hear from you. I am in the
phonebook. Leave a message.

time was the pinnacle of snowmobile racing: the excitement and spectacle of highspeed oval ice racing!
This year’s Grand Prix began with
Crane’s Snowmobile Museum’s annual
vintage snowmobile show, displaying
many fine examples of restored and unrestored early snow vehicles. Paul even got
out his old Model T, equipped with a
White’s snowmobile track kit, from the
1920s. My grandfather Earl, used to install
these kits when he worked for Roberts
Garage during that era.
The big winner, and overall favorite
machine to those who ogled it, was a replica of snowmobile racing’s all-time winningest sled, the 1977 Polaris RXL. This
most successful racer won first, second
and third in every race it entered in ‘77,
due to its revolutionary IFS suspension.
This replica is the automobile equiva-
lent of a 1966 Shelby Cobra. The workmanship that the owner put into it was
impeccable. It won its class and both the
People’s Choice and Best of Show hands
down—amazing! Paul Crane received the
best display award, a no-brainer.
Were you at the Grand Prix Ball last
Friday night? If you weren’t, you missed a
grand time. We were honored to have
WLTN’s DJ, Phil Rivera, handling the
music for us. A beautiful young lady by
the name of Emily Wild was crowned our
new Grand Prix Queen! First runner-up
was Ivory Blanchette and second runnerup was Meadow Wotton. All of the girls
should be very proud to become a part of
this experience. They will look back with
fond memories in years to come.

Bolland spoke briefly then gave up the

mic to Grand Prix Chairman Shane
Beattie, who thanked our many fine volunteers and sponsors. He also gave the
lowdown on what was happening for this
big weekend ahead.
Then it was time for this Ol’ Storytellin’
wrench-twister to present the first
Lancaster Grand Prix Pioneer Awards to
three very deserving recipients. The first
person to receive this prestigious award,
which the Grand Prix Committee has
brought forth to recognize those who
made this event what it once was, is Erling
“Butch” Roberts. He and his brother John
put together the finest dealer snowmobile
racing team in New England during the
1960s, and Butch was a Grand Prix chairman so many times, we stopped counting.
The second award went to Bob Clark for
his tremendous involvement as a competitor, a past chairman, and a race director
and who called me and Shane many times
last year, providing valuable pointers to us
newbees. The third award went to the
incomparable Bruce Dunham. His winning percentage made him one of the
highest-paid snowmobile racers in the
country back then, and the only four-time
winner of the Kilkenny Cup. These
awards will continue as long as there is a
Grand Prix. I was deeply honored to be
their presenter.
There are many more to thank, some of
them are no longer with us, which is why
we wanted to present the first awards to
those who are still here. Theirs are the
shoulders on which we stand. I passed the
mic over to N.H. Senator Jeff Woodburn,
who took the stage to present the Snow
Drifters with a special declaration from
the governor, declaring it Grand Prix
Weekend!
Saturday morning broke with sub-zero
temps and a 15- to 20-m.p.h. wind. We
found out, however, and so did Mother
Nature, that she can throw everything
she’s got at us and our loyal fan base will
still come to watch world-class ice racing,
as there were 1,400 people in the stands!
Page Five
They weren’t disappointed, as these sleds
reached into the 80-m.p.h range. The owners of the 800 Chapparals that came last
year, almost breaking the 100-m.p.h.
mark, donated them to a museum last
summer, but those formula 500 and 600
IFS champ sleds didn’t hold anything
back, providing heart-pounding excitement in every turn!
We were again graced by the return of
several of our Grand Prix Royalty on
Saturday, as Jerry “Squirrel” Martin, Bob
Martin, Lewis Cassady, Erling “Butch”
Roberts, Tom McLaughlin, Conrad
Rollins, Bruce Dunham and Paul Crane
stood for photos on the racetrack. I may
have left someone out, but please know
that you all played a big role in this
event’s early success. Bruce Dunham
mounted his fully restored 1972 Blizzard
800, Bob Martin sat astride his beautifully
restored 1972 Blizzard 650 and Conrad, a
Polaris rider back in the day, borrowed a
1978 Polaris 340 TXL.
There was a rumor going around that a
$400 bet was placed on who would come
off the line first. Bruce’s right thumb was
a little quicker than the green flag, and he
left early with the skis in the air. Bob and
Conrad waited for the flag, but Conrad’s
race sled’s handle-bars were purposely
adjusted toward the right, so when it was
driven into the corners, the handlebars
would be in the straight position. Some
riders prefer this setup.
Poor Conrad, not knowing this (someone else brought it out onto the track for
him), had turned them straight, so now the
skis were pointing left. When the green
flag dropped, his sled took a dive toward
the infield so severely, it tipped the
machine over right on top of him! Many
folks who witnessed it thought that this
72-year-old was seriously hurt. He not

is tougher than a keg of spikes!

Public Invited to Try Taiko Drumming at February 10 Workshop in Colebrook
Educators and the public are invited to
experience the powerful, spellbinding and
propulsive sounds of traditional Japanese
drumming during free workshops with
Burlington Taiko founder and artistic
director Sensei Stuart Paton, taking place
at Colebrook Elementary School on
Tuesday, February 10.
Sensei Paton will offer the hands-on
Taiko Drumming Workshop for Educators
from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Taiko offers a great
opportunity for music and cross-curricular
learning, team-building and stress release,
with no experience required.
In addition to drumming, the workshop
will include a short demonstration, cultural background and history, and a questionand-answer session. Particular attention
will be paid to addressing the needs of students with disabilities and learning differences. Professional development credit is
offered. Those who wish to participate
may register at [email protected] or
by calling 603-323-7302.
A hands-on community Taiko drumming workshop will be held for the public
at 6:30 p.m. Open to anyone ages 12 and
up, this workshop will be of interest to
musicians and would-be drummers. Both
workshops are offered at no charge, and
donations will be accepted to support
future Artist in Residence programs.
The workshops are among a series of
programs offered by Sensei Paton during
his 10-day North Country artist residency
for the Arts Alliance of Northern New
Hampshire. The residency includes school
assemblies and workshops along with
three public performances, with funding
in part by the New England Foundation
for the Arts as part of the NEA Regional
Touring Program.
The teacher workshops are offered
under a contract with the John F. Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts.
Sensei Paton will be visiting more than
a dozen schools around the region, including Colebrook Elementary, Stewartstown
Community School, Pittsburg School, and
Errol Consolidated School. More information about the Arts Alliance and
Burlington Taiko’s North Country residency can be found on-line at
www.aannh.org.

learn the basic skills and equipment to get
started fishing, while campers with more
experience will work on improving their
fishing skills and exploring the finer details
of the angling world. Campers will also
hike, swim, canoe, create campfire skits and
enjoy a host of other great activities.
• During 4-H on the Wild Side ($495),
held from July 12-17 for ages 10-16,
campers will experience a week of exciting
outdoor adventures. Among other activities,
they will create a meal from gathered plants,
fillet a fish and cook it over an open fire,
sleep under the stars, climb a mountain,
swim in a pond and create nature crafts.
• Hunter Education ($495) is offered from
July 19-24 for ages 12-16. N.H. Fish and
Game Department Hunter Education staff,
volunteer instructors and camp counselors
will provide instruction on safe, responsible
and ethical hunting. If a camper wishes to be
eligible for hunter education certification at
the end of the week, then some homework
must be completed prior to coming to camp.
• North Country Adventure camp ($495),
held from July 26-31 for ages 12–16, offers
a fantastic week of exciting outdoor adventure with a focus on building woods skills.
Campers will track wildlife, go on a canoe or
backpacking adventure, learn about trapping, practice survival skills, navigate with
compass and GPS, and practice hunting
skills. This camp includes plenty of fishing
and shooting sports, too.
• Junior Conservation Officer camp
($305), offered from August 2-5, is a new
session for older campers ages 14-17, who
are interested in learning about outdoor
careers. COs will be at camp all week and
will teach a host of fun, exciting and interesting sessions. In addition to traditional camp
activities, topics will include search and rescue, crime scene investigation, firearms
safety, tracking, surveillance, night vision
technology, wildlife laws, arrest procedures
and K-9 techniques.
• Support Barry Camp: The public can
help ensure that Barry Conservation Camp
continues to connect future generations with
the outdoors by contributing to the Barry
Camp Fund. Additional improvements and a
capital campaign are underway, and more
information can be found at www.wildnh.
com.
• Sponsor a camper: Although Barry
Conservation Camp is competitively priced,
many families find it challenging to finance
a week at camp. Fortunately, there is a strong
tradition of individuals and organizations
providing “camperships.” Anyone who
would like to learn how to help send a
youngster to camp may find details at
www.extension.unh.edu under “Resources”
or call 603-788-4961.

N.H. School Film Fesitival
(Continued From Page 1)
Students currently enrolled in grades 912 at any of the state’s public or private
high schools may participate, along with
New Hampshire homeschooled students
ages 14–18. Submissions need not have
been created as part of a school project,
but cannot be longer than seven minutes
including titles and credits. They must
have been produced after May 24, 2014,
the date of last year’s festival.
Each year, the festival receives dozens
of entries from student filmmakers across
the state. A panel of judges made up of
New Hampshire film industry professionals reviews all submissions and selects
those that will be screened. Originality,
cinematic storytelling and technical execution are key scoring categories. Top
films will be shown at the festival, which
takes place at Red River Theatres in
Concord on May 23, beginning at noon.
Festival awards include Jury Award
Winner for Best Film, Jury Award Runnerup, Jury Award Finalists and Public
Service Announcement Award. Awardwinning films will be screened at the New
Hampshire Film Festival in Portsmouth
and the SNOB (Somewhat North of
Boston) Film Festival in Concord. In addition to providing students with a public
venue for showing their work, the festival
is also a great way for students to build
their resumés and make their college
applications stand out. Rules and guidelines, film submission forms and other
information about the New Hampshire
High School Short Film Festival can be
found on-line at www.nhstudentfilm.com.
The New Hampshire Film and
Television Office, as part of the New
Hampshire Department of Cultural
Resources, works to expand business
activity and employment throughout the
state by acting as a liaison between the
film industry and an established network
of government agencies, the state’s film
industry work force, and local property
owners.
The office is responsible for location
assistance, public relations and general
production support in an effort to broaden
the cultural and economic impact of film
and television production in the state.
More information about film and television production in New Hampshire is
available at 603-271-2220 or www.nh.

around the speedway until the flagman
practically had to stand out in the middle
of the track and make them go to the pits,
so racing could continue. Sunday was a bit
warmer and the competition still red-hot,
as this form of racing is still some of the
most exciting in motorsports and
Lancaster has the lock on it!
Say, did I mention that WMUR Channel
9 covered Saturday’s events and will be
televising it in around three weeks? Wow!
We have hit the big time. In closing folks,
just to give you a heads up, we had a halfdozen heaters inside the tent, as did most
of the vendors, to stand under and Dave
Caron brought in two pellet stoves that
warmed many a body over the weekend.
There were hand warmers for sale and the
huge tent donated by the Commonwealth
helped keep the wind at bay.
So keep this in mind for next year,
should Mother Nature show her harsher
side: we take care of our valuable racing
fans, so you will not be left out in the cold!
Thank you, Lancaster, thank you sponsors, thank you, Kenny Bolland, Paul
Crane, Greg Westcott, the rest of the Snow
Drifters, and a special thank-you to Ed
Stabb and his experienced staff from New
Friday, February 6, 2015
York Vintage Sled Racing Association for
putting on a great show.
Most of all, thank you, Shane, Trina,
Sally, Tyler, Spencer and Beattie
Enterprises for a job well done.
The
Kilkenny Cup will be put back in its case
for now, but you can bet the Holy Grail of
Eastern Ice Racing will return, with an
even bigger show next year! Next year’s
dates are February 5-7 and I’m counting
down the days already.

HOLTON POINT & COUNTRY VILLAGE CENTER
A cow with its tail to the west makes the
weather best; a cow with its tail to the east
makes the weather least. Winter is well
underway, but the residents and staff at
Holton Point and Country Village are
busier than ever. Both communities participated in a Community Disaster Drill with
the Town of Lancaster, Lancaster
Elementary, Weeks Medical Center and
local EMS on Friday, January 9. Everyone
is now well versed in emergency preparedness, should the need ever arise.
Country Village hosted the monthly
birthday party in its main dining room,
where the kitchen staff did a wonderful
job making a sheet cake to feed all the
birthday honorees and their guests.
Planning is already underway for the
Valentine Party, to be held at Country
Village on Friday, February 13.
The weather managed to cooperate long
enough for Holton Point and Country
Village residents to enjoy a few bus trips
out and about; everyone had a great time
and did some shopping on an outing to
Walmart. A second trip took folks to
Littleton for shopping at Dollar Tree and
lunch at Asian Garden. A lot of smiles,
stories, laughs and doggie bags were
brought back from that trip.
The Snow Day Chili Cook-Off was a
huge success at Country Village on
January 23. Staff and residents alike thoroughly enjoyed tasting and judging all the
entries, and Country Village staff member
Camilla Cadieux had the winning entry
with her vegetarian chili.
Volunteers, visitors, friends and family
are always welcome at Country Village
and Holton Point. Anyone who would like
to volunteer may call 788-4735 and ask
for the Activities Department.
White Mountains Community College
and the Fortier Library, in partnership with
the National Alliance on Mental Illness,
will host a “Life Interrupted” presentation
at 6 p.m. on February 25 in the Fortier
Library. The program is free and the public is invited to hear from trained presenters who are people whose loved ones are
affected by mental illness.
Presenters will discuss such topics as
their own recoveries, how they learned
about and coped with their own health,
and the health of their families and loved
ones with mental illness. The program’s
goals include helping the audience understand the family perspective on mental illness, to help reduce the stigma mental illness carries, to encourage hope for affected families, to educate communities about
NAMI NH, and to promote resiliency and
recovery.
Those seeking more information on the
February 25 presentation or who wish to
RSVP—which is not required, but helpful—may contact Sandy Alonzo at [email protected] or 603-915-1801,
or Meagan Carr at 603-342-3086.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness
is a grassroots organization whose belief
is that people with mental illness or emo-
tional disorders and their families should
have access to insurance, comprehensive
health care and community-based support
without discrimination or stigma that is
often associated with mental illness. More
information on NAMI NH may be found
on-line at www.naminh.org.

DON’T TOUCH IT!
With a marshmallow teetering at its apex, Ronald Marquis, Jennifer Bolton and Kaylie Start will
their structure of mini-marshmallows, spaghetti and masking tape to stand on its own. The group
was working on a weekly project for grades K-6 under the direction of Pittsburg School science
teacher April Cartwright. The assignment this past week was to build a tall, sturdy structure that
would hold the large marshmallow way up high. The goal was to have the highest structure, and
this group’s creation reached up 24 inches.
