NH GOP NEEDS A LEADER READY FOR


THE FIGHT AHEAD Last week saw the new


state legislature offi cially begin their duties for the 2011 session with record numbers of Republicans in both the House and Senate. After giving the Dems a good old fash-


ioned “shellacking” at the polls this fall, NH voters have now handed Re- publicans the keys to the Capitol. Over the next two years Republi-


can legislators will be scrutinized for every move they make and will need a principled leader at the head of the party to defend them. A spokesper- son to rally support for the party’s agenda and someone who can stand toe-to-toe against their liberal coun- terpart in debating the issues. With battle lines already being

ROCKYWOLD-DEEPHAVEN ICE HARVEST CONTINUES CENTURY OLD TRADITION


by Roger Amsden News Correspondent


HOLDERNESS – Some 200 tons of ice which will be used this com- ing summer in ice boxes at the Rockywold-Deephaven camps are being harvested from a cove in Squam Lake this week. The 140 pound blocks of ice


help keep alive a connection be- tween the camps and the natu- ral environment that surrounds


them says John Jurczynski, camp director, who is working along with other members of the ice-cutting crew. He says that ice harvest main-


tains the camp’s unique tradi- tion of supplying its summer guests with ice boxes, rath- er than refrigerators, to keep things cool during the summer months. “Every now and then the question is raised if getting ice


from the lake is the most ef- ficient form of refrigeration for the camps. But that was pretty well settled some years ago. In 1967, the camps bought four compact refrigerators as an experiment. No guests wanted them, so they ended up in staff quarters,’’ says Jurczynski. He says that no one knows for


sure how long the ice harvest has been going on at the camps, See HARVEST on 21


drawn for what is sure to be an epic 2012 presidential race, the New Hampshire Republican Party needs to elect a chairman who can reach and motivate the grassroots voters. We believe that Jack Kimball of


Dover is clearly the candidate best suited to lead the party at this time. Jack is a hard working small business owner who jumped into the political fray after becoming frustrated with government’s fi scal irresponsibility. Jack’s got the energy, the real


world experience and that fire in the belly that will make him an outstanding chairman of the state Republican Party.
