Selectmen grilled about replacing chiefsPolice and fire chief positions both need to be filledBY TIM CROES

Staff Writer

BARNSTEAD — During it’s meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 7, the Barnstead Board of Selectmen discussed the plan to hire a new fire chief and it looks like the board is still finalizing a plan for the transition.

Fire Chief Mark Te-treault met with the board and discussed his last cou-ple of weeks in his posi-tion. He announced that he would use up his remaining vacation starting on Jan. 14 and would be coming in to do some paperwork and complete payroll infor-mation. While Tetreault is on vacation, Deputy Chief Shawn Mulcahy will be the acting chief.

Tetreault talked about a recent accident that an am-bulance got into. He said a full report would be com-ing once the accident re-port comes from the State of New Hampshire Police Department. He also talked about the Barnstead Busi-ness Park and said many improvements have been made and new businesses are getting closer to open-ing and that some final in-spections still have to be completed.

Tetreault requested that his cell phone num-ber be transferred over to his personal account. He voiced support for keep-ing the same schedule of 24-hour shifts, pointing to Pittsfield as an example of a department that lost per-sonnel after changing over to 12-hour shifts.

A question was raised about forming a search committee to hire a new fire chief. Chair Priscilla Tiede said a committee would need to be set up to search not only for a new fire chief, but also a new police chief.

It was brought up that agreement signed in 2010 with Barnstead Fire Res-cue Inc. guaranteed repre-sentation on a search com-mittee for a full-time fire chief.

During public input, Jack O’Neil voiced con-cern about the police de-partment having enough staff to police the town properly. There was a question about replacing the position left vacant previously held by Jake Webber. Tiede said the fire

department budget hasn’t been finalized.

Member Gordon Pres-ton talked about the next fire chief being a “working fire chief.” Tetreault felt that he has been a working fire chief by responding on a regular basis to routine fire calls.

Eileen Murley suggest-ed that if the board thinks a new fire chief is going to work regular shifts that they have no idea what the position entails. Preston talked about an incident commander split between a few towns as an option.

Input from the public ques-tioned Preston and his knowledge on how the fire department works.

Carol Locke talked about a letter to the editor talking about the creation of a new position in town. She said a person doing accounting went from full-time to part-time. A position was created that combined the full-time job and part-time job and that information in the letter was incorrect.

The December build-ing permit report was re-

Renovation, JMA spark discussion in AltonProposed renovation price tag goes up a bit

BY TIM CROES

Staff Writer

ALTON — The Alton School Board met on Monday, Jan. 13, and ap-proved increasing the amount for the new pro-posed six-classroom reno-vation to nearly four mil-lion dollars after input from the superintendent.

Later in the meeting member Steve Miller sug-gested proposing a study to dissolve the Joint Maintenance Agreement between Alton and Barn-stead.

His motion received a second by member Car-los Martinez, but Miller removed his motion so it could be discussed fur-ther with a full board. Vice-chair Terri Noyes and member Krista Argi-ropolis were absent from the meeting.

Miller explained that he felt the Alton and Barn-stead board members had major philosophical differences and that the boards budget differently. He understood dissolving the agreement would be a multi-year process and suggested that the option of a buyout should be looked at. Kathy O’Blenes, the businesses adminis-trator, confirmed that the earliest the agreement could be dissolved would be six years. Martinez was interested in talking

about the topic and dis-cussing it. Chair Sandy Wyatt said it would be a shame to lose the Barn-stead students at Prospect Mountain High School.

Miller explained that he didn’t want to lose the students and they could come to the school on a tuition basis if the agreement was dissolved.

It was asked if this top-ic should be discussed during a JMA meeting, but Miller felt it should be discussed at the Alton School Board meeting.

Superintendent Bill Lander explained that a total of $193,000 would need to be added to the proposed renovation and

NEW DURHAM — The New Durham Board of Se-lectmen met on Monday, Jan. 6, and the meeting opened discussing previ-ous minutes and keeping accurate minutes.

Rudy Rosiello requested that the minutes from Nov. 4 be edited to clear com-ments he made. Rosiello and member Jeffrey Krato-vil discussed the matter at length. Other board mem-bers said they would need to review the video from the meeting and request-ed that Jeremy Bourgeois, the town administrator, re-view the tape as well.

David Bickford reported that a new speed limit sign was put up on Brackett Road but that the old one wasn’t removed.

Kratovil challenged that the minutes of Dec. 2 were inaccurate. Chair Terry Jarvis said she would re-view the minutes and dis-cuss the matter at a future meeting. Kratovil said that at the previous meeting he had mentioned the justifi-cation for a study because member David Swenson was unaware of the com-plaints received from the residents of the second division that would be a good reason for conducting a study. This was in refer-ence to a planning board meeting held on Nov. 5.

Bourgeois discussed the damage to Quonset hut. He is hoping that the repairs will be paid for by the in-

surance company. He re-ported that Rines Electric was in the Town Hall and the contractor was sched-uled to start work on the next day. Bourgeois report-ed that a new server has been purchased. The cost of the server is between $5,200 and $5,300 and will be dis-cussed at the next IT com-mittee meeting.

Bourgeois reported that he has received many ap-plications for a minute tak-er. He and Kratovil will get together to review the ap-plications and make a deci-sion on whom to hire.

He talked about re-ap-pointments and Jarvis requested that the board is informed of who wants to re-appointed and who doesn’t want to be reap-pointed on the various com-mittees and commissions.

Bourgeois said he would be scheduling a meeting with another company to give demonstration of as-sessing software. Addition-ally, he will be scheduling a second visit by Avatar to come back before the board.

The board approved a second draft of the Board of Selectmen Annual Report for the town report.

The board discussed town property and how it could be sold. The board agreed that two or three local real estate agents should be invited along with any other interested citizens to discuss the town property that is for sale.

The board went through

the audit risk assessment document and authorized the chair to sign the docu-ment. The board agreed to move its next meeting from Jan. 20, a holiday, to Thurs-day, Jan. 16, at 9 a.m. in the community room at the fire station.

During public input, Skip Fadden asked about the status of step increases for the firemen who have completed their training. Jarvis said the board hadn’t received all the required documentation and she was reviewing the 2008 fire department pay system. Bourgeois said he believed all the proper paperwork had been received. Fadden also asked about the status of the fire chief and his re-appointment.

Swenson said the evalu-ation wasn’t complete and Fadden asked for a date a decision would be made, but the board didn’t feel comfortable with setting a date.

The board reviewed and approved budget session minutes from Dec. 9 and 16, public meeting minutes from Dec. 16 and non-pub-lic meeting minutes from the same date.

The next scheduled meeting of the New Durham Board of Select-men is in the community room at the New Durham Fire Station on Thursday, Jan. 16, at 9 a.m.

ALTON — The JMA Joint Budget Commit-tee held a meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 8, to fi-nalize its recommended budget and allow public input on the budget.

Steve Miller was in attendance as a member of the public and he felt being allowed to speak only as a member of the public is political mani-festation from the Barn-stead School system. Paul Landry felt this was a personal insult.

Andy McLeod called the meeting to order and Miller was invited to participate as a member of the public and if ques-tions were directed to him he could respond.

The budget committee voted on a bottom-line budget total of $7,362,577. Throughout the evening there were many at-tempts to trim the budget, but many of the motions failed due to the lack of second.

The committee re-viewed the proposed war-rant articles and clarified any questions raised by committee members.

The committee ap-

proved a total of $3,468,615 for general education. A reduction of $2,480 was approved by a vote of 6-2, which will reduce the number of new books for calculus and algebra classes.

Many of lines of the budget were approved without discussion in-cluding: technology, special education, gifted and talented, vocational education, co-curricular activities and athletics, though several motions were made to reduce the line but failed.

Other line items that were approved without discussion included: summer school, guidance and health services.

The committee voted to reduce improvement instruction by $1,200, re-duced library and media by $600, approved school board, superintendent’s office, principal’s lines, with some discussion about the principal’s line.

The budget lines of business services was approved and the build-ing maintenance line was reduced by $2,500. Other line items approved with-out discussion included: vocational transporta-

tion and transportation for athletics. The trans-portation for field trips was reduced by $750.

The total reductions approved during the meeting totaled $7,350 and resulted in a bottom-line budget of $7,362,577.

Terri Noyes ques-tioned if the meeting was considered a public hearing. She questioned why public input was al-lowed while the budget committee was discuss-ing each line and before a bottom-line budget was approved. Miller also questioned having the second public input after a final vote was taken by the budget committee.

Bill Haynes said he did see Miller’s point and felt the public should have been able to speak before a final vote was taken. McLeod apologized and felt that the public should have been able to voice their opinion before the final vote was taken.

Noyes said her goal was to try and match the budget committee’s num-bers and feels she may not able to do that now.

NEW DURHAM — The New Durham Planning Board discussed the ex-tension request filed by Brian Crossan for the Kodiak Woods subdivi-sion.

Attorney Paul Monz-ione spoke on behalf of Crossan, who was unable to attend the meeting as he was out of state. Monzione felt that the board should be looking at the date of subdivision approved in 2011 and not the date in 2008.

Monzione stated that the economic downturn, the death of Crossan’s son and a divorce were good reasons for a time extension. Monzione re-quested that the board discuss the matter at the next board meeting with

Crossan in attendance so he could answer any questions that they have.

The board reviewed the draft of the Site Plan Review Regulations pre-pared by Elaine Plan-chet, making changes where needed. The board agreed to resume review-ing the document at its next meeting.

The board discussed two proposed amend-ments briefly and a pub-lic hearing would be held at the next planning board meeting.

The board reviewed the updated zoning map prepared by the Straf-ford Regional Planning Commission (SRPC). It was suggested that any questions or comments be submitted to Amy Smith so they can be for-warded to the SRPC.

The Master Plan was briefly discussed. Terry Chabot, an alternate on the board, has looked at the draft of the transpor-tation section of the Mas-ter Plan and made some suggestions. Chair Bob Craycraft asked her to e-mail the draft to Smith so they can be forwarded to the rest of the board. The board reviewed the minutes of Dec. 3 and ap-proved the minutes, with some changes made to clear up some mistakes.

The next scheduled meeting of the New Durham Planning Board is on Tuesday, Jan. 21, at 7 p.m. at the New Durham Library.

SECTION A, PAGE 4 THE BAYSIDER, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 2014

OpinionOpinionOpinionMoving forward

In this space last week, we discussed the situation in Barnstead that has left the town without a permanent road agent, no police chief, only one full-time police officer and a fire chief set to leave his post in the coming months.

It’s a tough situation and we commend everyone that works for the Barnstead High-way Department, Barnstead Police Depart-ment and Barnstead Fire-Rescue for doing their jobs to the best of their abilities despite the troubles that have come their way.

We wondered how the Barnstead Board of Selectmen was going to go through the process of replacing these positions and we had taken calls and e-mails from residents wondering if the selectmen had any sort of plan.

The ideal situation would have the appli-cants for the jobs interviewed by a selection committee that includes not only members of the board of selectmen, but members of the public not associated with the department and members of the department. It is important to find the right people for these jobs so that the town of Barnstead can continue to function moving forward.

We understand the selectmen’s urge to save the town money by not replacing some of the positions that have been left vacant in the town departments, but what the selectmen have to remember is that the voters of Barnstead ap-proved those positions. The voters took time out of their lives to come to Town Meeting and earmarked money for a certain number of positions in the police department and the fire department. The selectmen should be do-ing what they can to ensure that the wishes of the town’s residents are put first, not chasing after what they believe is the right solution.

Granted, for all we know, the selectmen may have the perfect solution. However, that solution needs to come before the town vot-ers for approval. Big decisions in regards to changing the police, fire and highway depart-ments should always be brought to the voters for their say. After all, the voters are the ones that foot the bill for everything the town has to offer.

We look forward to hearing a concrete plan moving forward as to how these positions are going to be advertised and subsequently filled. We are hopeful that applicants are found that are excited about the town of Barnstead and want to grow with the town.

As much as some residents would want to disagree, Barnstead is not the little town it was for a long time. Located on a major high-way between a weekend getaway location (the Lakes Region) and the state’s two major cit-ies (Concord and Manchester), Barnstead at-tracts a lot of people through its borders. The success of Prospect Mountain High School can also be looked at as something that would draw people to the area.

Of course we like all the towns we cover and we are bias, but the selectmen need to un-derstand that Barnstead is not going to stay the same forever. Voters have shown they un-derstand that by increasing the police and fire-rescue staff. Here’s hoping the selectmen follow the lead the voters have given them.

To the Editor:Let’s hope that the Barn-

stead Board of Selectmen heard the public input given in the Jan. 7 select-men’s meeting and that the board will factor that input into the plans they develop for the replacement of the fire chief and the police chief. The often repeated message was that the vot-ers want the replacement chiefs sought by selection committees formed from a combination of elected offi-cials, representatives of the affected department and members of the general public and not just chosen by the selectboard.

Not only is a selection committee the best meth-od to hire the replacement chiefs, it is the required process for the hiring of the fire chief. In 2010, the board of selectmen signed a final contractual agree-ment with Barnstead Fire

Rescue, Inc. (BFRI) at the conclusion of the nego-tiations to transition to a wholly municipal fire department. One specific provision in the final con-tractual agreement was, “Any time the selectmen opt to hire a full time fire chief, representatives of BFRI, or its successor, will be involved from the begin-ning of and throughout the selection process.” Three members of the board of selectmen that signed that contractual agreement now sit on the current board of selectmen.

When reminded of this requirement for the selec-tion process for the new fire chief, one of the se-lectmen responded that the requirement specified a search process for a full time chief. Not only do the selectmen need to under-stand that they do not have the authority to decide

unilaterally to change the chief’s position to part time without bringing the issue forward at Town Meeting for approval by the voters, it is disingenuous to try to weasel out of complying with the contractual pro-vision by saying they may hire a part time chief. The intention of the provision clearly was that represen-tatives from the successor fire company (now called Barnstead Firefighters As-sociation) would be includ-ed in the hiring process.

During these discus-sions, one selectman point-ed out that the municipal fire department depends heavily on the call mem-bers that form the mem-bership of the Barnstead Firefighters Association. He acknowledged that the fire department would be unable to function without the voluntary response of the call firefighters to fire

and rescue calls. Is this not reason enough to include representation from this group in the selection pro-cess for their next chief?

At the conclusion of the public input regarding se-lection of the new fire chief, it was agreed between to set up a meeting to discuss the formation of a selection committee. I am hopeful that this meeting can result with the development of a selection process to select the next fire chief for the town of Barnstead. Let us further hope that the board of selectmen create a sim-ilar process to search for and hire the next police chief.

From the attendance at the Jan. 7 meeting, the selectmen need to under-stand the voters are en-gaged in and will be closely following this issue.

To the Editor:In the March of 2013 elec-

tion, Alton voters approved a 2013 town operating bud-get of $6,457,356. The Alton Board of Selectmen majori-ty recently approved a 2014 town operating budget of $6,812,035 set to be on the March 2014 ballot as a war-rant article for Alton vot-ers. This amount is $354,679 more than the amount approved by voters in the March 2013 election. If vot-ers do not approve the town budget at the March 2014 election, (by voting no) the 2014 budget will be the “de-fault budget” of $6,743,391, which was also approved by the majority of Alton Se-lectman.

Did you think the de-fault budget for 2014 would be $6,457,356 as approved by voters in 2013? The an-swer is no.

State law RSA 40:13 al-lows town selectmen (who

choose to do so) to set a de-fault budget that is the same as the previous year with certain “adjustments.” The law is vague allowing for some contracts and “other obligations” to be includ-ed in the default budget. Effectively, by applying these adjustments, there is an “allowable” budget increase over the amount approved by voters the pre-vious year.

The Alton default bud-get is $286,035 more than the town operating bud-get approved by voters in the 2013 election. This in-cludes $133,408 for person-nel administration, $78,381 for fire, $45,516 for police, $45,160 for insurance and the remainder spread across 14 other accounts.

How can voters prevent this seemingly routine in-crease?

One way is to revise the state laws so the default

budget must be the same amount that was approved by voters the previous year (period). Contracts and so-called “other obligations” would have to be included in the town operating bud-get presented to voters on the ballot.

Another way is for vot-ers to make revisions at the town deliberative session scheduled for Feb. 5.

Of course, the best way is to encourage people to run for Alton selectman that want to stop increases in spending. Since Alton has five selectmen, it will take a majority of at least three selectmen that will work together to find ways to reduce spending.

I was elected in March 2013 as an Alton select-man with 690 votes after clearly stating in writing publicly that one of my goals as selectman was to decrease spending. To date,

I obviously was not able to accomplish this. As you probably heard more than once, I was inappropriately reprimanded by other se-lectman of equal authority after expressing ways to re-duce spending in writing.

I believe there are many people in Alton who under-stand the importance of limited government who want the elected selectmen to find ways to decrease spending and taxes without adversely affecting govern-ment services.

Two Alton selectman positions are opening on the March 2014 town ballot. The filing period for candi-dates is Jan. 22 to Jan. 31. Be sure to take the time to vote in the March 2014 election for candidates that want to reduce spending. Other-wise, spending increases are likely to continue.

To the Editor:I heartily endorse Joe

Kenney for NH Executive Council District 1

Having met Joe Ken-ney at a recent GOP event, I have to say he is the man I will support in the upcoming primary special election for Exec-utive Council. Joe seems to understand NH values

and the importance of standing firm for small, accountable government. He has a solidly con-servative voting record while serving in the NH legislature and I believe he will continue to vote and advise in a likewise fashion if elected to the Executive Council.

My vote will be for Joe

Kenney on Jan. 21. Please join me in supporting his candidacy.

To the Editor:Having lived for 30

years in Hampton, where we had a mega million dol-lar highway department maintaining the roads, I was apprehensive about spending the winter in New Durham. Hampton’s Highway Department

can’t hold a candle to the skilled and dedicated road crew at the New Durham Highway Department. While I spend an inordi-nate amount of time just trying to keep my drive-way and walkways clear of ice and snow, the highway department has kept all of

the roads clear and safe 24/7 no matter what Moth-er Nature congers up and throws our way. To the men serving this town, my hat goes off to you. Keep up the good work.

Thank you.Brian LaceyNew Durham

Barnstead

When we first moved to this town of Barnstead I decided I would join our fire department as a way to integrate my-self into the community and contribute to help-ing neighbors in need. I had no ulterior motives and no personal agenda other than giving back. However it has come to my attention that not ev-eryone feels this way and it has become very clear that our elected officials do not approach their job as selectmen without per-sonal agenda and ulterior motives. It's disgusting and disheartening. They have bullied and harassed with the most nitpicking micro management un-til we no longer have any department heads leading the fire department, the police department and the highway department.

Now I find out that one of them took it upon him-self to go to the town of Gilmanton to see if they wanted to merge depart-ments... police, fire and highway. This is the same selectman who stated at last night's meeting (Jan. 7) that he wants the new fire chief to live in town... is that because he already has someone picked out, but forgot that the Barn-stead Firefighters Asso-ciation has to be directly involved in the selection

process from beginning until end. Oops forgot about that contract you signed a few years ago, didn't you? Oh and he nev-er mentioned last night that he was at Gilmanton's meeting the night before. Typical cowardly behav-ior we have seen time and time again.

Another wants a chief who works. Hello what has the current chief been doing? The fire chief needs to be an administra-tive position. He should not be dragging hose and working interior during a structure fire. He needs to be at the command post making sure that his fire-fighters are safe and ac-counted for. Why would anyone suggest that the chief be working shifts? Because he clearly does not understand what a fire chief is supposed do. And he kept reminding us that he used to be on the fire department. Then he should know first hand what makes an effective chief. The fire service has changed a lot since his days. It requires training and certification to do our job. It was recently named the third most stressful work environment only behind frontline soldiers and general. We deal with inherently dangerous situations and we need someone to lead us. I have a husband and child at home and I want to come

home to them at the end of the day. I want safety and accountability for my fel-low brothers and sisters to be at the forefront of each call we go on. We all come home. It's what we are re-peatedly taught in train-ing. Our safety first, all else second. We need to go into each situation know-ing someone is watching our backs.

At this point we have no fire chief, no police chief and no road agent. We are down one fulltime firefighter/EMT and have only one full time police of-ficer. That's no typo, there is only one full time police officer when there should be six. The BOS have cre-ated a giant mess and have no plans in place to active-ly fill the fire chief or po-lice chief positions.

Accountability, that is a perfect word for this message in this letter. The people of this town need to start holding the board of selectmen accountable. They are running this town into the ground. It's time we stand up and take our town back. I love this town and hate to see the current state of affairs that three members of the BOS have created with their personal agendas. Please go to the meetings on Tuesday nights, ask questions. It's time to turn the tables on them.

New Durham

Residents of New Durham, I consider it

my solemn duty to re-port any hypocrisy, false-hood or injustice going on in town to you. This

heightened awareness is equally as important as guarding your wallets. It’s frightening that the

Reviewing the videotapeboard of selectmen (BOS) public meeting of Jan. 6 falls into both categories.

On Jan. 6, Information Technology (IT) Chair Rudolph Rosiello spoke before the BOS. Chair Rosiello expressed two points. 1. That he was unhappy with the fi-nal approved amended BOS meeting minutes of Nov. 4, 2013 and 2. Asked that the BOS reconsid-er omitting a particular paragraph on page one. He found this paragraph (which I had authored) appalling because he stat-ed that it was untrue.

Essentially, Chair Ros-iello made his first public presentation to the BOS on Nov. 4. Our minutes as originally written glossed over questions I had raised. As we were to dis-cover, the IT committee recommendation for com-puter system upgrades were to total $32,000 be-tween 2013 and 2014. How could residents judge for themselves the validity of the IT committee’s ar-gument if questions like this got excluded: Was there a coincidence be-tween the antivirus soft-ware and the system fail-ure? Were my questions really “pointed?” On Jan. 6, Chair Rosiello staunch-ly disagreed that he ever said he didn’t know what caused the system fail-ure. He denied bringing up environmental fac-tors, such as dust or tem-perature.

Were Mr. Rosiello

an ordinary resident, I would never dissect his statements with such persistence. However, Mr. Rosiello is the chair-man of a public advisory board whose recommen-dations have a direct impact on the decisions of your elected officials. Those decisions have an immediate effect on your tax rate. These adviso-ry boards must tell the truth.

Chair Rosiello claimed none of my amendments to the Nov. 4, 2013 were true? I have examined the meeting video. At 22 min-utes, 16 seconds into my DVD, Selectman Krato-vil asked “Rudy, do you know why we had a sys-tem malfunction in the first place?” Chair Rosi-ello referred to the server noise. At 22 minutes 45 seconds he says, “When you’ve been in business 40 years, you hear these things.”

At 23 minutes 34 sec-onds, Chair Rosiello speaks of “hot … hu-midity … and the dust is short the longevity of that equipment.” Because these are direct quotes, the syntax errors have been included. At 24 min-utes 33 seconds, I asked pointedly, “Now is it co-incidental … coincide with the repairs done by Daystar when they installed the antivirus software?” Chair Rosiel-lo responded: “These are two thing now … server was never maintained …

this is how you pay for it … (speaking of the antivi-rus software) … what we were using before was the right plan and I will tell you why.”

At 27 minutes 14 sec-onds, Chair Rosiello lays it all out. “I’m not sure … ummm … what happened … the timing of what hap-pened seems to point to that there’s sometimes with some of these soft-wares …”

We come to the crown-ing point of my disap-pointment with the IT committee. At 33 minutes 53 seconds, Chair Rosiello announced that it’ll cost more to fix what we have than to get a whole new system. Selectman Krato-vil challenges, “You hav-en’t identified the prob-lem.” Ask yourself: How can Rosiello make such a statement? He hasn’t even pointed out what went wrong. How can you estimate what a repair or-der will cost if you don’t know what’s wrong?

On Jan. 6, I publicly stated that I would watch the Nov. 4 meeting with an understanding I may have misstated the truth. With this DVD as my witness, I stand by my amendments. I call upon Chair Rudolph Rosiello to attend our next public meeting and apologize for his mischaracteriza-tion of the events. When a committee chair cannot be trusted to convey the truth, that public advisor is not fit for duty.

Time to turn the tables

NEW DURHAM — Crash through those win-ter doldrums with a bright, exotic view of life at the New Durham Public Li-brary.

Gracing its walls through Friday, Jan. 24, are paintings by Saad Hin-dal, an Iraqi native who now makes his home in Concord. In fact, his larg-

est work is in full view in his new hometown, a mu-ral that covers the front of the Concord Farm conve-nience store and gas sta-tion in a symbolic retelling of Hindal’s emotional and physical flight from the land of his birth.

Known for its artists’ showings, the library was eager to present Hindal’s

“Art From Memory.” The colorful, detailed-packed works bring in a whole new look that is the perfect complement for the winter months.

Hindal lived in Iraq for 38 years, where he did set design for films, TV and theatre. When the war made life dangerous for his family, they moved to Alexandria, Egypt for four years. That stay also influenced his current art pieces. Alighting in Chica-go briefly, the Hindals are now firmly ensconced in

Concord. “I came here to start a

new page, to find freedom,” Hindal said. He indicated that his memories hold sway over his style. “I like to paint images that convey strength, freedom and life.”

The culmination of the showing is a reception on Jan. 24 from 5 to 6 p.m., where guests can meet the Hindal family, including young Hassan, who also paints. Hindal will provide Iraqi delicacies, as well as an opportunity to discuss his background and work.

ALTON — On Friday, Feb. 21, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., there will be a “Meet the Doulas” event held in the downstairs meeting room of the Gilman Li-brary in Alton.

This event is free and open to the public but is geared toward expecting parents. This is a great opportunity to learn about birth and postpar-tum doulas and to find out what a doula is, what they do, how they benefit a mother and her family throughout her prenatal and postpartum periods, and much more.

There will be time for

an informal meet and greet of local doulas.

Studies have shown that having a doula pres-ent at births:

Results in more sponta-neous births;

Reduces requests for pain medications;

Reduces postpartum depression;

Creates a more positive birth experience;

Results in a shorter, smoother labor;

Results in greater suc-cess in breastfeeding.

If anyone has any ques-tions, they can contact Ko-rin White via e-mail at [email protected].

Leon Acholes

NEW DURHAM — On Jan. 6, at 7:30 p.m., New Durham Police responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle at the end of March Drive and Birch Hill Road.

new six-classroom build-ing to complete the park-ing and add walkways and complete the paving for the project. The board approved changing the final amount that would need to be bonded to $3,917,200.

A public hearing was held on the bond. It was reported that a 10-year bond would range with payments between $441,000 and $536,000 per year and the tax impact would be approximate-ly be $.37 per thousand. A five-year bond would have a range of pay-ments between $793,000 to $910,000 per year and would have a tax impact between $.55 to $.63 per thousand.

Miller explained that this project was more reasonable and felt it is a number that could be approved by the voters in Alton. The three main areas fixed in this project would be the removal of the modulars, the reno-vation of the bathrooms and a centralized office located at the front of the school to house all the ad-ministrative staff.

A question was raised about the heating for the new portions and Chip Krause, the architect on the project, said the new sections would have their own independent HVAC system.

Loring Carr, the chair of the Alton Board of Se-lectmen, asked if there are phases to this renova-tion and asked if building a new gym is now out the window.

Krause said the new classroom space is in the footprint of the gym that was proposed in the most recent renovation plan and a second story could be added to this new part of the building.

Ruth Messier felt the topic wasn’t thorough-ly discussed and want-ed more information on the renovation. The board made a motion and approved changing the final bond amount to $3,917,2000.

This reporter ques-tioned if the option of go-ing through a bank for a loan is still an option and O’Blenes said this is an option but she felt using a bond would be the best option. The warrant arti-cle for the bond at nearly $4 million will require a 60 percent approval in March.

Pam McLeod, the tech-nology director, gave the board a run through of the new technology plan for 2013 through 2016.

The focus of the plan includes: creativity and innovation, communica-tion and collaboration, research and information fluency, critical think-ing problem solving and decision making, digital citizenship and techno-logical operations and standards. She talked about the need to im-prove the wireless by purchasing and installing more wiring throughout the building, using tech-nology as a learning tool and improving commu-nication throughout the school.

McLeod talked about the goal to have one com-puter for every student in third through eighth grade in the future. One

platform would have to be selected to make this a reality and idea of hav-ing outside devices in the school will be looked at. She said the goal for computers for a price point would be $300 per device, with each device lasting three years. She went through the financ-es of purchasing new computers for the differ-ent grades. She suggest-ed that subcommittee be formed to address the “bring your own device” issue and she details plans for the future in-cluding a forum on the topic, installing more wireless hardware and setting up device man-agement in the years to come.

McLeod talked about the use of Office365 and the benefits of the soft-ware. The board approved the new technology plan for 2013 through 2016. She discussed grants for tech-nology, but she reported that many of the grants used in the past had dried up and were no longer available.

One challenge she has continued to work on is an improved pipeline be-tween ACS and the SAU office. She is trying to

work out a plan to im-prove the speed of the network between the two buildings.

The board approved several policies for final reading including poli-cies regarding: advisory committees to the school board, public participa-tion at board meetings, parental objection to spe-cific course material, in-structional materials and community use of school facilities.

Miller objected to ap-proving a new policy committee and felt the chair had all the power in the new policy. He re-quested that the topic be tabled until it could be re-written. Lander said the policy came from the New Hampshire School Board Association. The board agreed to table the ap-proval of the policy. The board also approved re-scinding a policy regard-ing advisory committees to the board, with Miller objecting.

The board approved using tutoring services for students, including home school students and approval of a drama advi-sor at the middle school level.

The enrollment at ACS

was announced as 539 stu-dents as of Jan. 8.

Martinez talked about his attendance at the NHSBA meeting as the ACS representative. He said the meetings and discussions were very in-formative and that all the resolutions passed. He announced that he would be bringing forward ad-ditional information on specific topics at a later date.

Principal Sydney Leg-gett thanked Dick and Carol Wallace for host-ing a skating event in Laconia over the holiday break. Miller suggested sending an additional to-ken of appreciation to the Wallaces for organizing the event.

Miller announced that a teachers’ contract would be presented to the voters in March. The new contract was ratified during a non-public meet-ing later in the evening.

The next scheduled meeting of the Alton School Board is on Mon-day, Jan. 27, at 6 p.m. at the Alton Central School library.

viewed. One new home permit was applied for and there were a total of 33 per-mits applied for.

Karen Montgomery, the selectmen’s secretary, said work is scheduled to begin on replacing the flooring in the town hall in the of-fices. The board approved purchasing paint and roll-ers, and volunteers have agreed to help paint parts of the town hall that are being renovated with new floors.

The board approved spending $1,100 on new cutting edges for trucks for the highway department as recommended by the road agent. There was some concern from members of the board about scrap metal and getting money and accounting for it when scrap metal is turned in. The board discussed possi-ble increases in electricity and factoring it into next year’s budget.

The board held a pub-lic hearing and accepted a total of $39,309.21 from the State of New Hampshire for the Hannah Nutter Bridge project.

The topic of the fire chief came up again, and member Jim Barnard sug-gested setting up a special meeting to properly set up a search committee and discuss the position of fire chief. Member Dave Kerr suggested that the topic of making the position full-time or part-time should also be discussed.

Mulcahy talked about the ambulance that was in an accident on Dec. 17. He reported that the to-tal amount to be paid is $5,790.90. He explained that only certain companies are certified to do work on the ambulances. He pointed to a past repair that was done out of state that messed up the lifetime warranty on another ambulance. The board approved complet-ing the needed repairs to get the ambulance back in service.

Sergeant Joseph Mc-Dowell, the acting police chief, met with the board and discussed budget is-sues. He asked that the amount for record keep-ing, the CAD system and imaging be increased to $19,640. This also provides new computer systems for the police department.

He questioned the amount budgeted for the part-time officers in town for next year. He report-ed that currently there are four part-time officers working 16 hours a week with an estimated cost of $42,000 a year. For next year a total of $50,000 is budgeted for six part-time officers.

McDowell is concerned with the police department is being supported by the town.

“There is much more in this town that we don’t address,” McDowell said. “We are just treading wa-ter right now.”

He suggested budgeting for four full-time officers and five part-time officers to overlap, with the op-tion of adding a fifth full-time officer in the future. McDowell also suggested more money in the budget for uniforms and to change to different type of shirt in the future. He suggested a total of $10,000 for uni-forms for the entire depart-ment.

The Barnstead Board of Selectmen meets every Tuesday at 5 p.m. at the Barnstead Town Hall.

WOLFEBORO — Pa-trons of the Village Players are used to seeing some fantastic works on the stage of the group’s Wolfe-boro theater.

While that’s not chang-ing, the Village Players are offering up a new and ex-citing option for local resi-dents.

Starting this weekend, one weekend a month will feature films on the the-ater’s new high definition movie theater projection system.

Village Players board member Jim Adams is a big movie buff and took a leading role in getting films to the theater, but it was longtime Village Play-ers member Michael Wil-kes who really got the ball rolling at a board meeting just about a year ago.

“Michael asked, what can we do to up the pro-file of the theater,” Adams said. “And we also talk-ed about putting butts in the seats more than three times a year.”

Adams said that they kicked around the idea of showing movies, not-ing that the closest movie theaters to Wolfeboro are a good drive away in ei-ther Gilford, Rochester or North Conway.

However, when Wil-kes passed away suddenly early last year, the idea of movies kind of fell to the

wayside.Then lightning struck.

Literally.The Village Players

building, located on Glen-don Street in Wolfeboro, was struck by lightning while the cast of Hello… Is There Any Body There? was rehearsing for the summer show.

The lightning strike did some major damage to the theater’s wiring system and the Village Players board took that as a sign.

“We took that as Mi-chael saying ‘just get off your butt and do it,’” Ad-ams said.

The lightning strike has-tened the decision to redo the lighting and sound sys-tems in the theater in hon-or of Wilkes and the board agreed to install the new movie screen as part of the project.

Member Christian Boudman got the ball roll-ing, researching the screen and projectors that would be needed. They settled on a 16-by-nine-foot screen that fills almost the entire opening of the theater’s stage.

And because the screen is retractable and comes down right at the curtain area, sets being construct-ed on the stage won’t be affected by the movies and those coming to see the movies won’t have sets distracting them from the film.

The new lighting sys-

tem was installed in time for the fall production of Fiddler on the Roof and the sound system, screen and projector were installed after the musical closed its run.

At the group’s annual meeting in December, the first showing took place on the new screen.

“Everyone really loved it,” Adams said. “I don’t think they were expecting it.”

At the Village Players Christmas party in Decem-ber, they showed White Christmas on the new mov-ie screen, again to rave re-views.

Board members Jay Sy-dow and Cate Poole did the research on distributors, looking to figure out just what kind of paperwork and fees the group would need to go through in order to show the movies.

They found Swank Mo-tion Pictures.

“They set up a great deal with them that made it af-fordable for us,” Adams

said.That was an important

part of the process, as the entire idea of bringing films to the theater was to keep things relatively inex-pensive, yet still cover the costs.

“We didn’t want it to be expensive,” Adams said. “Just enough to cover our costs.”

For Adams, the idea was to just expand the reach of the theater.

“Hopefully it will drum up interest in the theater,” Adams said. “Maybe it will get people interested in coming to some of the shows as well as the mov-ies.”

The movie committee, headed up by Adams and including Sydow, Poole, Boudman and Priscil-la Adams, went through Swank’s list of movies and found tons of great choices.

“We’re trying to keep in family friendly,” Adams said. “We thought that it should be stuff people hav-en’t seen on the big screen.

“It’s a different experi-ence when you see it with a large group of people,” he continued.

In the first year, the ex-periment will involve one weekend a month, with two showings each week-end. The movies won’t in-terfere with the continued stage productions that the Village Players put on each year.

“We’re just utilizing the theater year round,” Adams said. “And that helps with the shows. One is feeding the other, that’s what the hope is.”

The movie experience will feature some of the same things people are used to at the theater, in-cluding popcorn and water for sale.

Additionally, there will be an added experience, as Adams will serve as the movie host, introducing the film and answering questions after. There will also be a preview running before the film advertising the theater’s upcoming shows.

The movies will run Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through-out the year, with a differ-ent movie showing each month.

For January, the film is the Wizard of Oz and it

runs this weekend, Jan. 18 and 19. February brings Casablanca on Feb. 15 and 16 and March has the Hitchcock classic North by Northwest on March 15 and 16. Singing in the Rain will be the next show on April 19 and 20, followed by the Fred Astaire musical Royal Wedding on May 17 and 18. The 80s classic Back to the Future will light up the screen on June 21 and 22, with Steven Spielberg’s Jaws hitting the screen on July 19 and 20. The George Lucas classic American Graffiti will play on Aug. 16 and 17 and Some Like it Hot featuring Marilyn Monroe is on the screen Sept. 20 and 21. To be deter-mined horror classics will be shown on Oct. 18, with On Golden Pond showing on Nov. 29 and 30. The mov-ie season wraps up with Po-lar Express on Dec. 20 and 21. Tickets for any of the shows are just $5.

Anyone looking for in-formation on the movies or on the three live shows coming to the Village Play-ers theater this year can visit the theater’s web site at village-players.com.

Edward Charles VincentiUS Army veteran

TUFTONBORO — Ed-ward Charles Vincenti, 65 of Mountain Road, Tufton-boro formerly of Quincy, Mass., died Jan. 6 at his home in Tuftonboro.

He was born in Boston, Mass. Nov. 2, 1948, son of the late Sebastion and Rose (Thomas) Vincenti.

He served his country with the United States Army and went on to

work as a Union Mason and brick layer for many years.

Mr. Vincenti moved to Tuftonboro 17 years ago, was a member of the Moul-tonboro Gun Club and en-joyed fishing.

Pre-deceased by a sister Louise, survivors include his wife, Ellen (Reynolds) Vincenti of Tuftonboro; a son, Mark Vincenti of

Plympton, Mass.; two daughters, Tracee Morse and Jodi Vincenti, both of Pembroke, Mass. and sev-en grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at the convenience of the family.

The Baker-Gagne Fu-neral Home and Crema-tion Service of Wolfeboro is assisting the family with the arrangements.

BARNSTEAD — On Wednesday, Jan. 22, Cen-ter Barnstead Christian Church will begin a 13-week men’s Bible study en-titled, “Growing in Christ.” If you are someone that is looking to understand who Christ is or someone that wants to grow in their faith, this could be the study for you.

These concise studies

will help establish a firm scriptural foundation for life. The study will answer such questions as, what does it mean to be “born again?” Can one really know there is a God? Is heaven real and if so can I know that I am going there? What do I do if my feelings tell me one thing and the Bible tells me something else? How do you live a

good life when everything around you seems to be go-ing wrong?

These questions and more will be consider at the “Growing in Christ” Bible study at Center Barn-stead Christian Church on Wednesdays at 6 a.m., as well as a repeat of the study at 6 p.m. For more informa-tion or directions, please call the church at 269-8831.

LACONIA — Two teenagers who have en-dured abandonment at a young age, Bo and Daisy have been though a lot together. Found as kittens, they came to NH Humane Society in August 2013. Staff mem-bers think they were born outside, since they seemed so terrified of people to begin with.

Feline volunteers have been working with

Bo, a very handsome tabby and the beauti-ful grey-coated Daisy. The shy and fearful program at New Hamp-shire Humane Society has worked wonders for their confidence and trust, helping scared kit-tens learn that humans will not hurt them.

The purring and the willingness to be held has been witnessed by all. Staff know they are

ready now for their for-ever home, together.

If you are a savvy cat person understanding they need a little more time to acclimate to your home after the hub-bub of shelter life, then these two lovely little cats will be a great addition to your home.

Please visit them im-mediately. Call 524-3252 or check www.nhhu-mane.org.

Quite some time ago, my mother said that some-where in the attic was a clock in a box. The attic of this 1850 farmhouse, now my home, was, and is, not a fun place to go. The last roofers in her time had not removed shingles by shov-eling them off, as is custom, but instead nailed through them. Frost-tinged nails protruded between rafters. If you bucked your head to yell “Hark! What was that?” you risked scalp surgery.

Hardly anyone uses “Hark” any more. This paragraph makes me think of the 45 r.p.m. record of Old English songs our mother let us play, on the record player in the ell off the kitchen. “Hark hark, the dogs do bark” was one of them, concluding “the beg-gars are coming to town,” and the velvet gowns and clowns and all. We gleefully rendered this, in our local dialect, as “Hack hack, the dawgs do back, the beggas are comin to tewn.”

When I moved back into the country, after a 10-year sojourn Down Below to learn my trade and confirm

where I did not want to live, I went searching around the attic, occasionally cry-ing “ouch” or “dammit” or other phrases, for the clock in the box. After intermi-nable rummaging around, my scalp pierced by nails, I found it. It was, truly, a clock in a box, meaning “in lots of pieces.” My mother, fond of euphemisms, had

said only that it was an old clock that happened to be in a box. I took the box to a clock doctor who put it back together. It ticks away to-day, catering to Greenwich Mean Time, which to me symbolizes the really mean time, which is that no one is spared the effects of time and gravity.

It is a 36-hour clock,

meaning that if you wind it at 8 a.m., as I do, you can go off somewhere, say, oh, Bungy, and get into a camp full of kindred spirits, which I sometimes do, and wind up languishing there amid those self-same wonder-ful kindred spirits, as I’ve done, you can awake and gain home at around supper and be sure that your clock is telling you what a miscre-ant you have been.

On the inside of my clock is a faded piece of pasted-on paper that says it was made by Henry C. Smith in Plym-outh, Conn. He made clocks between 1833 and 1845.

At the age of 19 or so I went to work at the Ethan Allen plant, better known as Beecher Falls Factory. There I took my wedding ring off because old-timers had told me about digits and hands lost because of watches and wedding rings. It turned out, of course, that those stories were greatly embellished. Still, when I got my first newspapering job at the Nashua Tele-graph in 1968, I removed my watch, not so much out of fear of becoming caught up by machinery but because darkroom chemicals eroded the base of the watch. And I’ve never worn a watch since. However, because of celestial or native intel-

Alton Police log

ALTON — The Alton Police Department re-sponded to 117 calls for service during the week of Jan. 5-Jan. 11, includ-ing two arrests.

One male subject was arrested for driving af-ter revocation or suspen-sion.

One male subject was arrested for operating without a valid license.

Police responded to five motor vehicle acci-dents.

There was one break-in on Rollins Road.

There were two suspi-cious person/activity re-ports on Main Street and Barnes Avenue.

Police made 43 motor vehicle stops and han-

dled six motor vehicle complaint-incidents.

There were 60 other calls that consisted of the following: Three fraud-ulent actions, one juve-nile incident, one drug offense, six alarm activa-tions, one missing/run-away juvenile, one pistol permit application, four animal complaints, one harassment, two wellness checks, two civil matters, one vehicle ID check, nine highway/roadway hazard reports, two dis-abled motor vehicles, one motor vehicle lockout, 12 property checks, four medical assists, two as-sist other agencies, five general assistance and two miscellaneous.

ligence (my pick), I can al-most always tell the time of the day, within 10 min-utes, to anyone who’s fool-ish enough to listen. This drives watch-obsessed indi-viduals to drink.

Today I still use the plan-ning of the day’s work and the economy of motion and the cleaning up of the shop at the end of the workday that I learned on piecework at the Beecher Falls facto-ry. I use it doing dishes or planning rainy day jobs in the shop, or even handling firewood, which the Gods of Firewood dictate should be the absolute minimum (aside: the average is seven to eight handlings; I’ve got it, at the outdoor furnace, down to three).

On the way into camp, I cajole visitors to take their watches off and leave them

in the truck. What need is there for a watch in camp? Piecework, or waiting for a bus, or what?

Still, I see visitors turn-ing their wrists to look at non-watches. Smuggling, in this area a time-honored trade, leads even to this hike-in camp in the middle of nowhere, but to me ev-erywhere, and I try to get the guilty watch-smuggling parties to hang their watch-es on the porch, on the Watch Nail, which, if you’re watching, is going nowhere.

ALTON — After open-ing the week with a loss to a solid Belmont team, the Prospect Mountain hoop girls picked up two hard-fought wins and reached an important point in their season.

“I think this is the turning point we’re look-ing for in the season,” coach Brian Contor-chick said after his team knocked off previous-ly-unbeaten Newfound by a 53-52 score in Alton on Friday, Jan. 10. “That was the highlight of my young career.”

The Timber Wolves came out and played ahead for the first half, leading 19-14 after one and 34-27 at the halftime break, but the Bears came battling back in the sec-ond half, outscoring the Timber Wolves 15-9 in the third quarter and cutting the lead to 43-42 heading to the final frame.

However, the two teams played to an even 10-10 tie in the final eight minutes and the Timber Wolves were able to pull away with the one-point win.

“I was thoroughly im-pressed,” Contorchick said of his team’s effort. “We played good, strong, intense defense, unself-ish offense and every-body was making their jump shots.

“And we rebounded very well,” he continued.

He noted that the game really seemed like the turning point his group was looking for coming out of a tough showing in the holiday tournament.

“The girls are going to gain an immense amount of confidence from this,” Contorchick said.

The Timber Wolf coach was well aware of the threat that the Bears presented. Newfound en-tered having won every game this season, includ-ing three in the holiday tournament in Gilford.

“Newfound is one of those teams, they’re just tough year in and year out, they play tip to buzz-er,” Contorchick said. “We proved we can be that team as well.”

The Timber Wolves had four players score in double figures in the win, led by Ella Montminy’s 14 points. Hope Carazzo added 13, while Shannon Meyer put in 12 and Abby

WOLFEBORO — King-swood will be well-repre-sented at the New Hamp-shire Athletic Directors Association scholar-athlete awards ceremony, which will be held on Monday, Feb. 3, at the Capital Cen-ter for the Arts in Concord at 9 a.m.

For the boys, King-swood will be represent-ed by Christopher Bacon, James Copithorne, Rory Coughlin, Abe DeMaio, Travis Drapeau, Mike Ga-rabedian, Jon Grant, John Hewitt, Zack Holt, Zach Ivey, Ethan Johnson, Alec Kalled, Andrew McCall, Tyler Mills, Dhruv Patel, Patrick Perry, Shawn Ro-seen, Sean Stackhouse, Mitch Tappan, Dylan Tar-box and Trent Taylor.

NEW DURHAM — During the Kingswood hockey team’s first game of the holiday tournament on Friday, Dec. 27, the home of Kingswood fresh-man Andy Contrada and his family caught fire.

The Kingswood hockey family is rallying around one of its own and plan-ning fundraisers, includ-ing a spaghetti dinner planned for January.

Additionally, a fund has been set up to help the fam-ily members rebuild their lives. Donations can be sent to The Contrada Fam-ily Fire Fund, TD Bank, 36 Center St., Wolfeboro Falls, NH 03896 C/O Tam-my Rogers.

ALTON — The Prospect Mountain boys’ basketball team survived a couple of road games last week, out-lasting Belmont and New-found to move to 4-1 on the regular season.

“I told the kids I would still take an ugly win over a pretty loss,” coach Tom Bourdeau said after his team’s 35-29 win over Bel-mont on Tuesday, Jan. 7.

The Timber Wolves shot just 25 percent from the field, but they held the Red Raiders to just 24 percent from the field and emerged victorious despite scoring in double digits in just one of the periods.

The Timber Wolves trailed by a 7-4 score after one, but held Belmont to just two points in the sec-ond quarter to go up by a 13-9 score at the halftime break. Prospect outscored the hosts 9-7 in the third quarter to push the lead to six and then the teams played a 13-13 fourth quar-ter to reach the final score.

As has been the case for much of the season, the Timber Wolves turned to the seniors for the points, as

Zach Robertson and Logan LaRoche combined for 27 of the team’s 35 points on the night. LaRoche led the way with 15 points, including a seven-of-eight performance from the free throw line, while Robertson chipped in with 12 points. The big man also came down with 15 rebounds on the night and had three blocked shots.

The Timber Wolves hit the road to Bristol on Fri-day, Jan. 10, for a meeting with Newfound and came away with a 51-45 win over the Bears.

Prospect clung to a 13-11 lead after one quarter, but the game was tied 19-19 at the half. Prospect came out and inched ahead in the third quarter, going up 35-32 heading to the fi-nal quarter, where they outscored the Bears by a three-point margin for the six-point win.

The highlight of the game for Bourdeau was the defensive play of junior Nate Farnham. The Tim-ber Wolf coach had scout-ed Newfound the previous weekend and saw Remmi Ellis go for 29 points against Mascoma. Farnham guard-ed Ellis all night and held the Newfound shooter to just three points.

The Timber Wolf coach also pointed out that the

team made seven of eight free throws in the final quarter, helping to seal the win.

However, there are some things Bourdeau is hoping to change as the team con-tinues moving forward.

“At this point in the sea-son, I’m a little concerned with our effort, or lack of effort,” Bourdeau said. “In spite of our 7-1 record (in-cluding holiday tourney games), we seem to just do enough to get the win against strong or weak teams.

“We are not putting teams away when we have the chance,” he continued.

Robertson led the way for the Timber Wolves with 16 points on the night and also grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked three shots. LaRoche finished with 14 and Farnham, in addition to his strong defense, added 11 points.

The Timber Wolves will be in action on Friday, Jan. 17, at Inter-Lakes at 6 p.m. and will return home for the first time this month to take on Farmington on Tuesday, Jan. 21, at 6:30 p.m.


Prospect boys win pair on the road

JOSHUA SPAULDING

THE PROSPECT MOUNTAIN hoop boys picked up two wins on the road last week and will be home on Tuesday night.

Timber Wolves knock off undefeated Bears

Four Prospect girls in double figures in one-point win

Mucher added 11.The win over New-

found came two days af-ter the Timber Wolves had to go to double over-time to knock off Sanborn on the road in Kingston.

“It was crazy,” Contor-chick said.

However, it was the type of game the Timber Wolves should’ve won easily, as they got out to a strong lead in the second quarter, up 20-14 at half-time and 26-18 after three.

However, Sanborn bat-tled back and forced a 30-30 tie at the end of reg-ulation, thanks to a 12-4 run in the fourth quar-ter. However, Prospect scored six points over the two overtimes and San-born managed just four and the Timber Wolves walked off with the 36-34 win.

“It was one of those things, we built a lead and then got back on our

laurels,” the Timber Wolf coach said. “They chipped away and chipped away and chipped away.

“We had to fight to the finish,” he added.

Carazzo led the way for the Timber Wolves with 14 points, while Montmi-ny finished with 13.

That win came a day after a 55-42 loss to Bel-mont on Tuesday, Jan. 7.

“We’re definitely showing character,” Contorchick said. “I’m so proud of these girls, they’re really, really playing strong.”

The Timber Wolves will be in action on Fri-day, Jan. 17, at 6 p.m. at home against Inter-Lakes and then hit the road to Farmington for a 7 p.m. game on Tuesday, Jan. 21.

DURHAM — The King-swood indoor track team put up some more solid finishes at the University of New Hampshire on Sun-day afternoon.

Leading the way for the Kingswood boys was se-nior Dylan Tarbox, who claimed victory in two dif-ferent events.

In the 55-meter hurdles, he won the preliminaries in a time of 8.6 seconds and then won the finals with a time of 8.4 seconds.

He then came back to win the 300 meters in a time of 39 seconds, while teammate Abe DeMaio picked up fifth overall in a time of 41.4 seconds. Mitch Tappan was seventh in 42.3 seconds and Sheldon Billings was 17th in 44.9 seconds.

While Tarbox and DeMaio were the only Knights to pick up points on the day, there were oth-er strong finishes as well.

Tappan raced to a tie for fourth in the 55-meter preliminaries with a time of seven seconds, but he jumped the gun in the fi-nals and was disqualified. Billings finished 20th in 7.6 seconds and Zack Holt was 35th in 8.2 seconds.

In the 600 meters, Hunt-er Miller was ninth overall in a time of 1:42.2, while Holt was 23rd in 2:03.7. Miller also picked up an 11th place finish in the long jump, leaping 15 feet, one inch. DeMaio added an 11th in the shot put with his toss of 36 feet, 2.5 inches.

The Knight girls also had a few solid scoring performances.

WOLFEBORO — Last Monday’s rain was not ex-actly what the Kingswood Nordic team was looking for from Mother Nature.

After all, the Knights had a home meet scheduled for Abenaki Ski Area on Tues-day, Jan. 8.

However, thanks to the hard work of numerous people and despite the frig-id temperatures, the meet went off without any major problems.

“To run a race this size takes an incredible number of volunteers,” coach Tom Merrell said. “We had over 20 parents, sidelined team members and siblings help-ing us.”

Merrell went on to praise Steve Flagg and Jim Bean for their work in getting the course ready after Mon-day’s rain and warm tem-peratures and Tuesday’s frigid cold, noting there were good, loose granular conditions throughout the course.

Merrell also thanked Wolfeboro Parks and Rec-reation Director Ethan Hip-ple for his help.

The more than 150 ski-ers started with an uphill battle, leaving the base of Abenaki Ski Area and head-ing out the Almost Thayer trail to The Climb and on to Grand View. They then turned on to Upper Bog Hill

Run, to Lower Bog Hill Run and down to Home Run, fin-ishing back at the base of the ski area.

For the second time in two races, the Knight girls just edged out Kennett for the victory, with Souhegan, Hanover, Lebanon and Con-Val rounding out the field of competition.

Mary Kretchmer skied her way to first place over-all in a time of 17:09, leading a trio of Knight ladies in the top 10.

Micaela Flagg skied to ninth overall in 18:42, just ahead of teammate Julia St. Germain, who finished in 10th in 19:13.

Annie Peternel rounded out the scoring for the King-swood girls, as she finished in 15th place in 20:50.

Emma Bellefleur was 20th in 21:51, Becky Peter-nel was 23rd in 22:09, Laura Blocher (skiing for Skimeis-ter points) was 39th in 30:18 and Constance Vaughn was 40th in 30:34.

The Knight boys were once again led by Sam Coache, who finished in 18th overall in 17:38, help-ing the boys to a fourth place finish behind Ken-nett, Hanover and Lebanon. Souhegan also brought a full team and finished fifth, while Con-Val, Merrimack Valley and Bishop Brady had racers but not complete teams.

a nice feed from Rum-ery for a 27-8 lead before Kennett finally got on the board on an Arielle Seavey free throw.

Tierney and Rumery followed that up with back-to-back hoops for the Knights and Tierney added another basket as the Kingswood lead grew to 33-9.

The highlight of the night for the Kennett girls came as the quarter drew to a close, as Milford hit Kennett’s lone field goal of the frame from just inside half-court, cutting the lead to 33-12 heading to the fourth quarter.

Gwynn McGinley got Kennett on the board in the fourth quarter, but Sargent followed that with a hoop and Tierney added two more buckets. A Lapar rebound and hoop pushed the lead to 41-14 before Samia hit two free throws and Milford hit a bucket to close out the game at 41-18.

Gray noted that during practice this week, the Knights worked on play-ing to their strength, which means getting the ball inside, where Rum-ery and Tierney can get to the hoop.

“I thought we execut-ed that to the best of our ability tonight,” Gray said. “And we played good defense, that’s what we’re all about.”

She pointed out that the Knights have talked a lot about holding teams on the defensive end and she mentioned that again the Knights did a good job in that area, not allowing

a lot of chances.Meader noted that his

team didn’t want to take the ball to the hoop and be aggressive, which he figured would be a good way to get some points, if not from the inside bas-kets then from foul shots.

“I called timeout when they had six team fouls and the shots weren’t going and told them to go to drive to the hoop,” Meader said. “I called an-other timeout three min-utes later and no one had picked up another foul.

“We just didn’t want to take it to the bucket,” he said.

He pointed out that on a positive note, Seavey and Gianna Jones both saw solid minutes off the bench, which he hopes will be key as the Eagles move forward.

However, there is one other key thing the Eagles need moving forward.

“We’ve just got to get healthy,” Meader said.

Tierney finished with 14 points to lead the Knights, while Samia added eight to lead the Eagles.

Both schools combined on the efforts to help Jewett, as Kennett held a collection at the boys’ game the previous night and presented the funds. A number of raffles, in-cluding a 50/50 and many items donated by local businesses, were held throughout the game.

Kingswood dropped a 46-25 decision to Ports-

mouth in its other game last week.

The Knights will be in action on Friday, Jan. 17, at 6:30 p.m. at Merri-mack Valley High School before playing on their home court again on Monday, Jan. 20, at 1:30 p.m. against Lebanon.

Kennett had its other game on the week post-poned by weather. They will be hosting St. Thom-as in a makeup game at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18.

The Eagles will also be hosting Plymouth on Fri-day, Jan. 17, and will be at Berlin on Tuesday, Jan. 21, both at 6:30 p.m.

Knights defeated the Ea-gles by a 34-20 score. Jack-ie Bernier had 12 points to lead Kingswood, while Sydney Perk added 12 to lead the Eagles.

Last Monday, Jan. 6, marked one month un-til I hit the road to Logan Airport to catch a flight to Paris, the first step in the journey that will eventual-ly take me to Sochi, Russia and the 2014 Winter Olym-pics.

There have been mo-ments throughout this pro-cess where it’s kind of hit me how big a deal this is, but the one-month count-down kind of spurred me on to wonder if I am even ready to go. I am sure there are going to be plenty of those moments between now and the time that I leave, but come Feb. 6, there is no turning back to get something I forgot.

I made sure to purchase adaptors for the electrical outlets so that I can power my laptop and my iPad and really anything else that I need. I purchased an in-ternet package through the Olympics, so I should have easy access to my e-mail throughout my trip. I know my cell phone won’t work (or would be expensive as all get out), so I also pur-chased a cell phone to use there, though I don’t plan on using it tons. I filled out the arrival and departure form so I can get picked up at the airport when I arrive in Sochi after midnight on

the morning of Feb. 8.There’s been plenty to

do in preparation for this trip, but it should be noted that this would not even be possible if not for the gen-erous people throughout the community who have supported my endeavor ever since I was notified that I had the chance to travel to the Olympics as a media member. I’ve been getting tons of well wish-es as I head out and cover games and it’s wonderful to know that people are ex-cited for me. And it amazes me that I was able to raise such a large sum of money in a relatively short period of time. I can’t express my gratitude enough for ev-erything that everyone has done and continues to do to help me make this trip a good one.

I’ve been keeping an eye out on the Olympic rosters being announced over the last few weeks, looking for local names for anyone who might be in Sochi that I can do interviews with. But I am sure that I have missed a few people, so if you are

reading this and know somebody who’s traveling to Sochi to compete (or re-ally, for any reason), send their contact information along to me and I’ll try to meet up with them while over there.

I haven’t set up a com-plete schedule of what I am doing while I’m there, but I know there are certain events I will have to cover in order to see some local athletes compete. Beyond that, it seems I can decide what I want to see on the fly.

The countdown is of-ficially on. Less than a month to go and the way time flies, that will be here in no time.

Finally, have a great day, Joe and Jacklyn Bro-za.

Knights “Do it for Jewett,” best Eagles Tierney leads Kingswood girls past Kennett

BY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — If there was ever a night the Kingswood hoop girls wanted to break free of their scoring troubles, it was Friday, Jan. 10.

Not only were the Knights taking on their Carroll County rivals from Kennett, but the whole night was serving as a fundraiser for King-swood senior Emily Jew-ett, who was injured in a car crash in December.

While honoring their friend and teammate, the Knights entertained a large crowd in their home gym and walked off the court with a 41-18 win over their rivals from North Conway.

“At home, versus our big rival, with a fund-raiser for Emily, a lot of things came together and made this one really spe-cial for us,” Kingswood coach Karly Gray stated. “Especially after a couple of tough losses.”

For Kennett coach Larry Meader, it was a different story, as the Ea-gles were without leading scorer Juliauna Dunlop and Meader had a couple of other players battling through the same illness on the court.

“We’ve got to look for our shots, too many times we had a shot and didn’t take it,” he said. “We have to have one of the other kids step up and look for the offense.”

Kingswood scored 11 of the first 13 points in the game, as the Knights were able to get out early and take advantage of an Eagle offense missing its point guard and scoring leader.

Casey Sargent got the night started with a bang, draining a three-point-er for a quick 3-0 King-swood lead. After an Erin Milford free throw got Kennett on the board, Jen Simpson and Liz Mc-Laughlin hit back-to-back buckets for the Knights to up the lead to 7-1. Milford hit another free throw to bring Kennett to within five at 7-2.

However, Emma Tier-ney and McLaughlin put the ball in the basket to push the Kingswood lead to 11-2 before Kay-lin Samia closed out the quarter with a hoop for the Eagles, making it 11-4 after one quarter of play.

Samia opened the sec-ond quarter with a re-bound and hoop to again bring the Eagles within five, but Simpson took over from there, hitting a free throw and consec-utive hoops to quickly stretch the Kingswood lead to 16-6.

After a Samia hoop got the Eagles back on the board, Tierney hit inside and Rachel Lapar drilled a three-pointer, closing out the first half with a 21-8 lead for the host Knights.

The second half saw

Kingswood start moving the ball inside, with Tier-ney and Emily Rumery getting good looks in near the basket. The result was a 12-4 differential in the quarter.

Rumery hit the first two hoops of the second half and Tierney finished

WOLFEBORO — Abenaki Youth Lacrosse Club seeks dedicated male and female volun-teer coaches for the 2014 lacrosse season. Coach-ing appointments are sought for Abenaki La-crosse teams between the U9 and U15 age groupings for both boys’ and girls’ teams. The goal is to place 3-4 adult coaches on each team with one head coach to coordinate the activi-

ties of the other coaches and the team.

Experience in coach-ing youth sports and/or a playing/coaching background in lacrosse is desired, but is not a prerequisite. Coaching appointments are contin-gent on Abenaki board approval and a success-ful completion of the US Lacrosse Level 1 coaches training program. Abena-ki will assist in training of volunteer coaches and will reimburse appointed coaches for costs associat-ed with training.

Coaches are expected to hold two practices a week, support one to two games per weekend and participate in an end of the season lacrosse tour-nament. Practices will begin towards the end of

March with games start-ing in April. The season wraps up ine the middle of June.

Interested applicants should contact Bill Tap-pan at [email protected]. The next step will be to go to www.uslacrosse.org and 1. Register with US Lacrosse as a coach and 2. Go to coach’s edu-cation on the US Lacrosse web site and register for the boys or girls Level 1 coaches training program. Begin the training with the online course and reg-ister to attend the Level 1 on-field training. You will also need to register for the criminal background check on the US Lacrosse web site. Information on training sites can be found on www.uslacrosse.org or www.nhyla.org.
