Exercise your brain—dance!
LITTLETON — Researchers
now say the adult brain can
respond to certain stimulation,
continuing to grow and develop
throughout life. Adult brain
development is best nurtured
through a physical activity such
as learning structured dance
sequences. If started early
enough, the long-term benefits
can actually stave off Alzheimer
Disease—even if it runs in your
family! The complex patterns of
one dance form appeal to a
thriving club of “brainy” people
at MIT (Cambridge, Mass.)
where teams of eight energetically weave through complex
geometric patterns like a
human Rubik’s Cube. Littleton
dance leader Al Rouff is a member of the MIT dance club. A
FREE introduction to this form
of dancing will be held at the
Lakeway Elementary School in
A stop at Lake Francis in Pittsburg is always peaceful.
Littleton on Sept. 18 at 730 p.m.
Exercise your brain and your
body while dancing to lively
music! No partner required,
dress casual, and there are free
refreshments. To learn more,
search the Internet for “Brain
Plasticity.” More info about
dancing

to the crowd’s laughter: “You
know, Mr. Marsh was a lot like
the Bedors and Presbys.”
To introduce incumbent
Governor John Lynch and his
wife, Dr. Susan Lynch, Mr.
Bedor spoke of the Governor’s
support of tourism and atten-
tion to North Country concerns.
Governor Lynch began by
thanking the Cog owners for
their commitment to New
Hampshire. “And today, we recognize their contribution to the
environment, an environment
that we pass on to our children.
The Governor noted that the

increased energy independence.
His concluding remarks were
met with laughter: “Wayne told
me that I’m going to drive the
locomotive. Wayne, I’ve never
driven a locomotive! I hope it is
Governor-friendly.”
As
the
ceremonies
approached the unveiling of the
locomotive’s new name, Joel
invited Ruth and Larry
Kirkman of Brookville, Penn.,
the winners of the contest to
name the locomotive, onto the
dais. Mr. Bedor explained that
they had driven 700 miles to
attend the ceremony. He then
invited Mr. Presby to take the
microphone to announce the
new name. “He can’t pronounce
it,” Mr. Presby joked. “It is Wajo
Nanatasis.”
Mr. Bedor resumed by
explaining how the name was
selected. He mentioned Cathy
Belcher of Jackson, N.H., who
had suggested the name
“Abenaki
Hummingbird.”
Belcher had wanted a name that
honored the Native American
heritage of Mount Washington,
while describing “little workhorses with tiny environmental
footprints.”
All on the platform were
invited to gather at the track
where Charlie Kenison and Al
LaPrade removed the American
flag that had covered the name
of the locomotive. The Governor
then broke the bottle of
Ammonoosuc Water on the
chassis of the engine and
mounted the cab. Waving from
the window of the cab, Gov.
Lynch cried, “Everybody clear
out!” and pushed the joystick
that controls the motion of the
locomotive. Wajo Nanatasis had
entered into history.
The Mount Washington Cog
Railway is a National Historic
Engineering Landmark. Its first
locomotive, Old Peppersass,
reached the summit of Mount
Washington on July 3, 1869,
making it the world’s first
mountain climbing railroad
using a toothed cogwheel to
Page 19
engage the rack between the
rails.
Old Peppersass is on display
at the Marshfield Station, and
the Cog Railway Museum,
which is full of memorabilia and
the rich history of this pioneer-
ing railroad, is free and open to
the public.
