Kennett High Senior Fills Gov. Sununu’s Shoes For The Day
CONCORD, NH – A Kennett High Senior got to fill Governor Chris Sununu’s shoes yesterday.
Molly Robert, of North Conway, was the governor for the day yesterday after winning an essay contest earlier this year.
The contest was a part of the Women’s History Month celebrations in New Hampshire.
Governor Chris Sununu told the Conway Daily Sun that he was pleased with how the day went and that he was very impressed with Robert. The Governor said that Robert “provided some awesome insight on a variety of issues that we were able to tackle; everything from school safety and the opioid crisis to communications interoperability.”
Robert’s day consisted of a tour of the Bridges House with Sununu, getting to sit in on an executive Councilor’s meeting along side District 1 Councilor Joe Kenney, and even take a photo op with John Fuller 4th graders who happened to be getting a tour of the state house that day.
Robert told the Sun that observing the Executive Councilors meeting was her favorite part of the day.
Robert also got to enjoy lunch with the Governor and Kennett High Alum Speaker of the New Hampshire House Gene Chandler. Chandler told the Sun “I think Molly is a great recipient of the award…She did an outstanding job. I have a hunch she may be back here one day as governor for more than just one day.”
Robert is Kennett High’s senior class president and will be going to St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y. this fall.
Campton Home Invasion Leads To Car Chase And Crash
CAMPTON, NH – A suspect lead police on a chase after breaking into a home in Campton. According to Campton Police Chief Christopher Warm at around 2:20 am Monday officers responded to a reported home invasion on Owl Street.
The homeowner said that a lone juvenile male was found in her kitchen. The individual was later identified as a runaway from the nearby Becket Family Service residential facility. The juvenile was chased from the home by the residents who then called the Police.
While authorities searched for the suspect he entered the garage of the neighboring home where he acquired keys and attempted to leave the area in the neighbors GMC Yukon.
The responding officer saw the suspect in the vehicle and attempted to stop it. The suspect refused to stop when the officer signaled him to do so and both Campton PD and State Police pursued the vehicle until the SUV lost control in the New Hampton/Meredith area on I-93.
The suspect only sustained minor scrapes and bruises from the accident and was taken into custody at the scene.
A witness reported that a firearm, allegedly taken from the garage where the keys were allegedly taken from, was found on the ground at the scene of the vehicle theft after the incident.
The juvenile is incarcerated at Sununu Youth Detention Center and is to be arraigned in Juvenile Court. The suspect is charged with five counts of delinquency alleging burglary, theft, trespass, and disobeying an officer have been filed against the suspect, with more charges possible as Police continue to investigate the incident.
According to their website the Becker Family Services is “an alliance of nonprofit with the goal of helping struggling adolescents find a “zest for life” and succeed in the “business of life.”
Their Children’s residential treatment services (like the one in Campton) are offered with a goal “to provide education and treatment that enables our students to successfully return home or to alternative community living arrangements, including foster care or kin.”
First Guard Station In White Mountain National Forest Named To National Register Of Historic Places
BRETTON WOODS — The White Mountain National Forest and N.H. Division of Historical Resources are proud to announce that the White Mountain National Forest’s Fabyan Guard Station has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Recognition of this historic building is an honor and has particular significance during this Centennial year of the White Mountain National Forest. The nomination was prepared in partnership with WhiteMountainHistory.org.
To qualify for the National Register, a property must represent a significant part of the history, architecture, archeology, engineering or culture of an area. It must have the characteristics that make it a good representative of properties associated with that aspect of the past. Important both for its use in conservation and as an example of rustic architecture, the well-preserved Fabyan Guard Station also has a high degree of historic integrity.
Built in 1923, the station was the first administrative building constructed by the US Forest Service on the White Mountain National Forest, and it is the last remaining example of a Guard Station in New Hampshire.
The one-room, 16-by-22 foot log cabin, hand built by White Mountain National Forest rangers from local materials, served as local headquarters for all nearby Forest Service activities, including the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s. The cabin is a remnant of early local administration of Forest Service lands, from an era when transportation was difficult and time consuming. Forest Service guards were stationed at similar outposts across the forest to administer timber sales, construct and maintain recreation facilities, and respond quickly to forest fires in their immediate vicinity.
Made from hand-hewn native spruce logs cut and notched on site, Fabyan’s simple architectural details are characteristic of an early 20th-century guard station, including a single door made from vertical planks and held in place by strap hinges, six-pane windows and a gable roof made of pine boards covered with cedar shakes.
The interior, a single room, has wide pine board floors with mid-20th century linoleum “rugs”; a kitchen area with cast iron sink, counter and single light fixture along one wall; and beaver board panels covering the ceiling. In addition to the cabin, a board and batten-sided outhouse – possibly built by the CCC – and a corrugated metal storage shed are part of the property.
In recent years the National Forest has invested time and resources to preserve Fabyan Guard Station, including a multi-week volunteer project in 2014 in partnership with HistoriCorps to replace deteriorated logs and vandalized windows, a partnership with the Appalachian Mountain Club construction crew to install a new cedar shingle roof, and participation by the White Mountain National Forest Youth Conservation Corps to maintain the grounds around the cabin and install an interpretive panel developed with WhiteMountainHistory.org.
In 2015, the White Mountain National Forest, HistoriCorps and WhiteMountainHistory.org were honored by the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance with a Preservation Achievement Award for cooperative efforts to preserve and restore this important piece of both Forest Service and New Hampshire history. Listing in the National Register of Historic Places recognizes and celebrates these successful partnerships and historic preservation accomplishments.
Administered by the National Park Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the National Register of Historic Places is the nation’s official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation and is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate and protect our historic and archaeological resources.
Listings identify historically significant properties and can serve as educational tools and increase heritage tourism opportunities.

The Dave Matthews Band exploded in the 1990s with its hybrid of jazz, folk, and world music, all of which were channeled through Matthews’ distinct pop sensibility. Often associated with the decade’s jam-band movement, DMB started as a college favorite. By the end of the decade, Matthews’ introspective lyrics and distinctive vocal timbre resonated through stadiums across the U.S. In the new millenium, the band continued to evolve, releasing one of their strongest, most complex studio album, 2009’s Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King, after the untimely death of founding sax player Leroi Moore.
Dave Matthews Band has sold a collective 37 million CDs and DVDs combined. With 2012’s Away From The World entering the Billboard 200 at No. 1 in 2012, Dave Matthews Band became the first group in chart history to have six consecutive studio albums debut atop the chart. The band ranked as the biggest ticket seller worldwide of the past decade and has sold over 18 million tickets since its inception.
In 2014, DMB’s early history was celebrated with a limited edition Record Store Day release of Live Trax 4, a 20th anniversary reissue of Remember Two Things, a Black Friday Record Store Day release of Recently featuring the rare “Pumpkin” release alongside the original EP, and Under The Table And Dreaming – all available for the first time ever on vinyl. Volumes 29, 30, 31 and the CD/DVD package of 32 from the Live Trax series were released over the course of the year.

Two Hikers Rescued In Huntington Ravine Sunday
SARGENTS PURCHASE, NH – Two hikers were rescued after getting lost on Mt. Washington this weekend.
Conservation Officers with New Hampshire Fish and Game said that on Sunday at around 1pm they received a call that 27-year-old Daniel Rueda, of Warwick, Rhode Island, and 21-year-old Christopher Petteruto, of Coventry, Rhode Island, were stranded in steep terrain at an unknown location in the area of Huntington Ravine. The hikers were able to give a description of the area but could not provide specific information, as they had not been there before.
Conservation Officers enlisted the help of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), who responded from around the mountain to search for the hikers. Over the next two hours, distant voice contact was made but an exact location could not be pinpointed.
With the afternoon turning to evening, additional search and rescue teams were formed, consisting of volunteers from Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue (AVSAR), Mountain Rescue Service (MRS) and the US Forest Service.
Additional information eventually surfaced, helping crews to focus their attention on the northeast side of the ravine in an area known as Henderson’s Buttress.
By 6:00 PM, crews were still working to reach the stranded individuals. Temperatures had gone from the 50’s to the high 30’s, and the hikers began to report through 911 (via cell phone) that they were becoming very cold and physically deteriorating. The hikers had insufficient gear to stay warm, which applied additional pressures to the volunteers to make it to them before the situation
At 7:27 PM, rescue crews successfully reached the hikers at a location approximately 1000 feet off of the Huntington Ravine Trail. The hikers were located in an area of ledge, making it difficult to move either up or down.
The hikers were subsequently assessed and provided with warm clothing, water and food. Once warm, the two were able to hike and climb with the rescue team back out to the Huntington Ravine Trail and eventually up Mount Washington to the Alpine Garden.
The hikers were then lead to the Mount Washington Auto Road where they arrived safely shortly after 9:00 PM.
Following the evacuation, the hikers were checked by members of Gorham Ambulance before leaving in their own vehicle.
Fish and Game Officials said advise outdoor enthusiasts to always be prepared for the unexpected, even on really nice days. Conservation Officer Matthew Holmes said “This day started out great for the hikers in question and then ended in a six hour sit with temperatures that nearly hit the freezing mark. The forecast for the coming week on Mount Washington includes a “wintery mix” that will likely take the mountain from spring right back into winter.”
