Budget committee supports ACS renovationArticles eliminating town planner, assessor not recommended

BY TIM CROES

Staff Writer

ALTON — The Alton Budget Committee gave its recommendations on the petition warrant articles and the warrant articles from the Alton School Dis-trict during its meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 14.

The budget committee

discussed the four petition warrant articles; one to stop financially supporting the Lakes Region Planning Commission that annually costs $7,000, another to elim-inate the position of town assessor, another to elim-inate the position of town planner and one to add ad-ditional sound recording hardware to the meeting

room in the town hall.The board voted by a 5-0-

2 vote, with two abstentions to not support the first three articles mentioned and the committee supported by a vote of 4-3 to support the last article to spend $500 for new audio recording devices.

The committee asked how the removed positions would be filled if they were

eliminated. It was stated that contractors would be used and it was calculated that the position could only be filled partially by this manner.

The committee then moved on to the school war-rant articles. Steve Mill-er, a member of the Alton School Board, explained the warrant article for a new

six-classroom addition and new centralized office that would cost nearly $4 mil-lion. He explained that a major concern of the school board was to remove the modular classrooms. He feels that this amount could be approved by the voters in town.

Loring Carr voiced concern about not having

a plan for phases for im-provements to the building. He felt the new classrooms would put the school in a corner if they ever wanted a new gym, as the classroom was being built in the spot formerly reserved for a new gym.

Miller explained that building could be expand-ed on a second story, Carr suggested putting the addi-tion on the other side of the building to keep the open spot for a new gym in the future.

Miller talked about the tax impact that would range from $.36 per thousand to $.63 per thousand, depend-ing on a choice of a five-year or 10-year bond.

Lawrence Tilly, a budget committee member, said he was disappointed that ven-tilation wasn’t addressed in the renovation.

Miller explained the new teachers’ contract and sala-ry and benefit increases in 2014-2015 would total nearly $100,000 and the increase would be similar the fol-lowing year in the new two-year contract.

The committee also reviewed the article re-garding the bottom line budget. The total budget is $13,450,029 and if the article is defeated, a default budget of $13,323,618 would be used.

The committee voted to support the article for new six-classroom building and renovation by a vote of 6-0-1. The committee delayed voting on the Prospect Mountain High School roof, as a public hearing had not taken place yet on the bond.

The committee voted unanimously to support the bottom line budget and the new two-year teachers’ contract. The committee also voted to unanimously support a warrant article that would add up to $75,000 to the capital reserve fund if a reward came in from the lawsuit regarding the fail-ure of the fire suppression system at the high school.

PMHS board split on proposed budget $7.3 million proposed budget approved by slim 4-3 vote

Staff Writer

ALTON — The Prospect Mountain High School pro-vided in recommendations on the warrant articles and a final bottom line number for the budget for next year

during its meeting on Tues-day, Jan. 14.

The meeting was held at the Alton Town Hall so that members of the Alton School Board could meet with the Alton Budget Committee to discuss the final budget numbers for

Alton Central and Prospect Mountain High School.

The board discussed the cuts recommended by the JMA Joint Budget Com-mittee, which only totaled $7,500. Member Steve Mill-er felt the $2,500 cut from the budget for water testing

should be added back into the budget.

The board voted by a vote of 4-3 to accept the fi-nal bottom line budget to-taling $7,362,577, with Mill-er, Terri Noyes and Krista Argiropolis, the vice-chair, voting against and Chair

Eunice Landry, Keith Couch, Kathy Grillo and Sandy Wyatt voting for the number.

The board discussed the warrant articles and Miller voiced his concern about putting $50,000 towards the Improvement of Instruction Fund. He felt this amount was too high a dollar figure. He made a motion to zero out the dollar figure or re-move the article, but no sec-ond was received.

He also questioned the article regarding Mainte-nance Trust Fund number two.

The board voted by a vote of 5-1 to approve the warrant article regarding Improvement of Instruction Fund, with Miller opposed.

Board talks truck repairs and moreBY TIM CROES

Staff Writer

ALTON — The Alton Board of Selectmen met on Monday, Jan. 20, and discussed repairs to town equipment, bids for the highway department and a septic waiver request.

The board was scheduled to meet with the Belknap County Commissioners, but the meeting was canceled due to scheduling conflict in the commissioners’ office.

Russ Bailey, the town administrator, recommend-ed that the board approve a quote from Alton Motor Sports to install a new plow for one-ton truck at a cost of $4,950, and board approved

the motion unanimously.Bailey talked to the board

about the six-wheel truck that had damage to the hood occur in the summer. Bailey reported that the insurance adjuster issued a check for $2,016 and estimated total damage of $3,016. There is a $1,000 deductible on the truck. Chairman Loring Carr asked that the issue be tabled until the board could take a look at the truck.

Bailey said that work on the senior center kitchen was moving along and it should be completed in two to three weeks.

During public input, Raymond Howard ques-tioned the acceptance of a recent police grant and he believed the grant fund-ed the purchase of license plate readers, which he said are illegal in the state. Bai-ley said he would discuss the matter with the police chief and get clarification on the issue.

State Rep. Jane Cormier said the issue of legalizing license plate readers was recently voted down in the state legislature.

A request was made to include a link to the Alton Historical Society’s Web site, www.Altonhistori-calsociety.org, on the list of Web sites on the official town Web site. The board approved the request made

by Marty Cornelissen, the Chairman of the AHS.

The board reviewed plans for a new fire extin-guisher maintenance agree-ment. The town has a total of 102 extinguishers in the different town buildings. A suggestion was made to

have the same vendor ap-prove all the extinguish-ers. Member Marc DeCoff suggested that the extin-guishers could be brought to the same building for the inspection, which would provide cost savings. The

ALTON — The Alton Planning Board met on Tuesday, Jan. 14, to hold a public hearing regarding a zoning amendment that would add a new section regarding stormwater management.

The board approved tabling the issue until the 2015 warrant articles so that more information could be obtained regard-ing the issue.

Ken McWilliams, the town planner, distributed new copies of the amend-ment and board members discussed the amend-ment.

Member Raymond Howard was concerned that the regulations kicked in too quickly and felt it was a power grab as far as property rights and felt the building inspector was given too much pow-er.

Chairman Dave Collier

noted the amendment was being created to protect the slopes and stormwa-ter management in town. Member Scott Williams felt the issue needs to be addressed but feels the is-sue needs more research. Collier felt there are many issues included in the amendment that need to be studied.

The board unanimous-ly approved tabling the issue and discussing it when addressing the 2015 warrant articles.

During public input, Jane Cormier asked where the document was initiated and Collier said it came from anoth-er town. Robert Daniels made a comment that it would help some current problems, and Collier confirmed it would help preserve the slopes.

During public input, Cormier also asked a question about a discus-sion last spring about the

planning board not bring-ing forward three war-rant articles. She believed that workforce housing was one of the three arti-cles that weren’t going to be brought forward in the warrant articles.

Collier explained that the three articles that failed last year were re-garding conservation subdivisions, equitable waivers of dimension re-quirements and aquifer protection overlay dis-trict, with the latter two being brought forward in warrant articles this year.

In May of 2013, the planning board agreed to not present an article re-garding conservation sub-divisions to a ballot vote in 2014, but the other two issues will be brought for-ward to ballot in March.

Alton Central finds new way to honor citizenship

COURTESY PHOTO

ALTON CENTRAL’S October 2013 Citizens of the Month include Victoria Bassett, Wyatt Brownell, Evan Christensen, Pearl Cobern, Sienna Conrad, Aidan Conrad, Maya Corriveau, Marin Creteau, John Foss, Jonathan Gray, Asa Guldbrandsen, Analese Hersey, Lilianne Hillsgrove, Makenzy Holden, Seth Huggard, Kylie Ingham, Erin Kelley, Jiana Kenerson, Connor Lagace, Bradley Laurin, Aislinn MacStravic, Michael Mahoney, Sydney McDonald, Hayden Mellon, Claire Neely, Drew Nickerson, Olivia Noyes, Justin Perrin, Trey Ranaldi, Nickolas Reed, Ava Tibbs, Olivia Tibbs, Chance Troendle, Sophie Wallace and Bryce Watson.

ALTON — Alton Cen-tral School is excited to announce that it has a new way of honoring its students for their good choices. In school, chil-dren are routinely taught the importance of being good citizens. Civic re-sponsibility is import-ant for children and for adults of all ages. By ex-hibiting good citizenship skills, individuals show that they are productive and caring members of society. Good citizens treat others with respect, they respect authority and they respect the en-vironment. People who display good citizenship skills have the opportuni-ty to be rewarded with an ACS citizenship award.

The student who earns citizenship consistently

displays the following traits:

1. The Act of Kindness - This person is friendly, generous and considerate of others.

2. The Act of Respect for All - This person treats everyone as being important.

3. The Act of Being Safe - This person follows the school’s safety rules and thinks of the welfare of others.

To celebrate students being good citizens, the school feels it’s necessary to have a more immediate acknowledgment and not wait for a celebration at the end of the year. Each month, first through fifth grade teachers will nom-inate two students per homeroom, and in grades six through eight, two

students per grade lev-el are nominated by the middle school teaching staff for good citizenship.

The students who are nominated each month will have their individu-al pictures placed on the citizenship board located on the front patio with their homeroom teach-er’s name. The individu-al students receive a good citizen certificate and ac-knowledgement through school wide announce-ments. The pictures will remain on the designated board for the duration of the school year and a group picture is put on the school web site.

Please help Alton Cen-tral to acknowledge all its students as they grow into Alton’s newest good citizens.

First runner-upProspect Mountain student Micaela McIntyre was in the Miss Teen N.H. USA pageant this past weekend, Jan. 18 and 19. She was one of 20 teens chosen to be in the NH pageant. She was announced first runner up after a great weekend of preparation for the pageant. The event took place at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester. McIntyre had an interview with five judges, swim suit competition and formal gown competi-tion. All three were put together for an overall score. The judges were looking for natural beauty, confidence and personality. They chose top 10, then top five with a one-on-one question. Then the runners-up were announced. It was an amazing experience and McIntyre and her family would like to thank sponsors Harris Family Furniture, SCS Communications, Dr. Hiller Orthodontics and of course all the family and friends that donated and supported her. With their support McIntyre was able to have an experience of a lifetime.

NEW DURHAM — Just as temperatures dip again, things are heating up at the New Durham Public Li-brary.

“We’re chock full of free winter activities,” Library Director Max Wirestone said.

Cocoa and Cliffhangers, the Thursday after-school read aloud program for third through eighth grad-ers, currently features the intricate mystery “The Westing Game.” Students are playing a correspond-ing detection “game,” with scenarios and personas that parallel the chapters read that week. All participants have their own “role” to play in the library’s coun-terpart mystery and create their own eccentricities.

Children’s Librarian Cathy Allyn provides a summary of previously read chapters for anyone who has missed a session,

or has joined the “game” late. Today marks the sec-ond session of the book. Al-lyn said the library is on the lookout for more bakers for the cookies that accompany the hot chocolate.

Three Mondays of arts and crafts begin on Jan. 27. Students in grades three through six are eligible and must register.

The library will host another Pokemon Tourna-ment on Tuesday, Jan. 28, open to youngsters of all ages.

Kids in grades one through three can warm-up for the library’s sum-mer reading program that will center on science with a three-week program that meets on Tuesdays begin-ning Feb. 4. Wirestone said an earlier program proved so popular that the need for something similar was ap-parent. This program will repeat for another group of

primary grade budding Ein-steins beginning March 11. Space is limited and regis-tration required.

On Monday, Feb. 10, folks of all ages are urged to drop by and make a Valentine for a veteran in the VA Hospi-tal. The library will supply all materials; the public pro-vides the real heart.

Beginning Monday, March 3, local artist Sarah Burns will lead students through a six-week book-making class. Call the li-brary to register and for more information.

On Tuesday, March 2, kids in grades one through six can celebrate Mardi Gras with foreign language games and activities. Space is limited and registration required.

Allyn said she is looking for youngsters interested in poetry for the library’s Poetry Night coming up in April. “We’ll need those who like to write poems, and also anyone who likes to perform.”

After school programs run from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. and are free. To register for those programs that require it, and for more informa-tion, contact the library at 859-2201.

BARNSTEAD — The Barnstead Planning Board met on Thursday, Jan. 16, and held a public hearing on upcoming zoning ordi-nances, discussed the lack of movement on the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) of the different departments

and a resignation of a board member.

Andy Houle was acting chairman for the meeting, as Nancy Carr was not in at-tendance for. Members J.J. Pruyne, Clarke Goodrich and Dave Kerr, the select-men’s representative were also not in attendance.

A public hearing was held on extending the sun-

set clause in the growth management ordinance un-til 2019, creating a new sign ordinance and removing the old ordinance, adding the definition of trailers and workforce housing.

The board got legal ad-vice to remove the article regarding workforce hous-ing, stating that simply re-ferring to the state statute

wasn’t enough. The board agreed to remove the article from the ballot. Swinford feels there is enough prop-erty in town to fulfill the requirements of the state requirement for workforce housing. Additionally, workforce housing was re-moved from the new defini-tions that would be added to the zoning ordinance.

Houle discussed the lack of response from the differ-ent departments and that re-ality that the CIP wouldn’t be coming forward this year. Houle called the whole process “a big mess.”

The response from the former police chief was to use the same numbers from a previous plan, and the re-sponse from the fire depart-ment was said to be in the wrong format. The board did receive a response from the Barnstead Elementary

School and is hoping to get numbers from the library and the highway depart-ment.

Member Elaine Swin-ford suggested contacting the budget committee to get some of the numbers from the different departments. Swinford said the efforts from the Master Plan Com-mittee is moving forward and updated Master Plan should be coming forward in the near future.

The board accepted a letter of resignation from Pruyne, who recently moved out of town and would no longer be able to serve on the board. In the letter Pruyne appreciated the support of the board, who voted him back on as a member a couple of months ago after resigning for the first time with the intention of serving his country in the

military.The board discussed a mi-

nor subdivision that would be discussed at the next meeting. There was a ques-tion on whether the subdi-vision could be approved in the future with the issue of ownership going to probate court. The board suggest-ed that a recommendation should be obtained from the Local Government Center on how to handle the issue.

The board approved the minutes of the Dec. 5 meet-ing and a motion to adjourn was approved about half an hour after meeting began.

The next scheduled meet-ing of the Barnstead Plan-ning Board is on Thursday, Feb. 6, at 7 p.m. at the Barn-stead Town Hall.

SECTION A, PAGE 4 THE BAYSIDER, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 2014

OpinionOpinionOpinionA little misleading

We traditionally don’t comment on stories from other media sources in the area or in the state, but we feel compelled to add our two cents to a couple of stories regarding Barnstead’s current situation that we have read and seen in statewide media outlets.

Last week, a story on WMUR blamed budget woes for the reason that Barnstead has no fire chief or police chief, while a story on the state-wide Union Leader web site and in the print ver-sion of the newspaper (with direct quotes from a selectman) pointed out that the vote to region-alize police services just a few short years ago was “close” and that maybe it was time to visit it again.

Don’t get us wrong, we have no problem with regionalizing services to save money. If it’s fea-sible for the towns involved and doesn’t hurt the services being offered, then it’s a good idea.

But we feel it necessary to point out that the vote against regionalization was 144-77, which is far from close, but rather almost a two-to-one margin. Granted, there wasn’t a lot of people voting, but to classify that vote as close is outra-geous.

And budget woes didn’t play a part in the po-lice chief and fire chief taking leave of their posi-tions. In fact, the voters of the town of Barnstead, the people who control the purse strings when it comes to the budget, have been more than gener-ous to the fire and police departments over the years, approving many positions.

Yet, the selectmen refuse to hire people to fill those positions, leaving both departments short-handed and now they’re looking at the pos-sibility of not hiring a full-time police chief or fire chief either.

Again, if you think it can save the town mon-ey, in this economy, it’s never a bad idea, but the Barnstead selectmen seem to be forgetting that the townspeople are the ones who approved the positions, the ones who approved paying for a certain number of emergency responders in both the police and fire departments. If the townspeo-ple thought it was too expensive, they would’ve voted against it when they had the chance.

If the selectmen indeed want to explore region-alization again and stop the pursuit of a fire chief and a police chief, they need to bring the issue to the voters.

And stories such as we saw on WMUR and in the Union Leader are painting a picture of the town that is inaccurate. The townspeople of Barnstead supported their fire and police depart-ments well over the years. The problem remains that the selectmen haven’t respected the wishes of the voters.

As we’ve said on numerous occasions, we’re all for saving money, especially in these tough eco-nomic times. But going against the will of the vot-ers is simply unacceptable. We hope that the se-lectmen will sit down and come up with a plan for the town moving forward, but include in devising that plan people who are involved in the fire and police departments, as well as private citizens.

The consensus amongst Barnstead residents we’ve heard at meetings is that there is concern about public safety. We know the police and fire staff who are still working in Barnstead will do all they can to protect the residents, but will that be enough?

The selectmen owe it to the voters (their boss-es) to keep everyone in town safe.

To the Editor:The town of Barnstead

has already spoken, but the board of selectmen was not listening. We voted nearly 2:1 to keep our police depart-ment as our own. We voted to have seven full time offi-cers. We voted against have the Belknap sheriffs depart-ment providing our police coverage. Their proposal only provided four full time officers. This would not be equivalent to the services we are supposed to have with six full time officers and a full time chief. How are four full time sheriffs supposed to provide the same coverage as seven? How does that math even make sense?

The town has spoken. We voted to have a full time fire chief command our fire department. We do not

want to merge or form a partnership with Gilman-ton or Pittsfield. We already work together with these departments in the form of mutual aid on a very regu-lar basis. If regionalization is even a potential reality, I demand to see your master plan. How is the police or fire commission going to be set up? What is the long term plan if one town wants to get out in a year or two? How much will regionaliza-tion cost? And in the year or two while this process is being set up we need a po-lice and fire chief to oversee these departments.

Have you even looked into the RSAs that would al-low for such a change? Have you considered the large ex-pense involved in getting all of our equipment match-ing from each of these de-

partments? You currently have one town using MSA breathing apparatus and another using Scott. They are not compatible. What about the cost of building a central station? You cannot realistically put a station in North Barnstead and expect them to respond to the Northwood town line in Pittsfield in a timely man-ner. Or respond to the cor-ners in Gilmanton. But I am sure you have already con-sidered all of this because you must have a five to 10-year plan already if you are already proposing such a change.

We have spoken and we demand that you respect us as your constituents. Personal agendas need to be put aside. The bullying needs to stop. It’s time to put the town of Barnstead front

and center. We demand a police chief, a fire chief and more than one full time po-lice officer. We demand that you hire another full time firefighter and keep our town safe.

We have spoken and we will not allow this to be brushed under the ta-ble while you destroy our town. We demand to be heard. Do not push us aside because those of us who put our lives on the line for this town will push right back. We need leaders to lead us and we want them hired as quickly as possible using appropriate hiring practic-es in the form of selection committees.

We have spoken, maybe it’s time the BOS start lis-tening.

To the Editor:A wise man once told

me “If you don’t vote, don’t “complain” and if you don’t stay informed and vote, you get what you de-serve.” Taking it to heart, I have tried my entire adult life to be a responsible cit-izen. Since moving to New Hampshire 34 years ago, I have often wondered why we hold a Town Meeting if select boards can, in most things, legally ignore the

wishes of the voters. Why do select boards operate with so few checks and/or balances in that regard?

On Jan. 14, I attended a select board meeting in Barnstead. The fact that this form of government only sets aside time for public comment at these meetings if the board al-lows it perplexes me. In this case, the presence of WMUR’s reporter/cam-era appeared to worry the

board, but also seemed to “encourage” them to allow such comment, though not on the agenda. I felt the move was disingenuous, at best, as their responses offered attendees nothing of substance and it was in-effective damage control, at the least.

I encourage each, and every affected citizen in Barnstead and this state to pay attention to what is going on in your town.

If you cannot be present physically, stay informed and vote. I also ask those affected to seriously con-sider that this form of gov-ernment needs changes designed to enforce select board accountability for voter mandate. If we col-lectively do not do this, we will likely continue to live with disappointment, or worse.

To the Editor:On behalf of the New

Durham Fire Company, I would like to thank every-one that came out and made the Contrada family fund-raiser a success.

The Contrada family lost their home to a fire on Dec. 27. On Friday, Jan. 17, the New Durham Fire Compa-ny in conjunction with the New Durham Recreation Department put together a dinner/dance fundraiser with all proceeds benefit-ting the Contrada family. The Contrada family was present and Mr. Contrada was given a check in the amount of $1,332 by the New Durham Fire Compa-ny President Captain Kevin

Ruel (pictured). We could not have suc-

cessfully pulled this off without the wonderful car-ing citizens of New Durham. The list of people that also made this event successful can go on and on. A huge thanks to Kelly Chase from the New Durham Recre-ation Department, her brother Thomas for donat-ing his time and DJ skills for the cause, Marcia Berry for help in more than one way, Sheri Joy, Kevin Bis-son, the Chasse family and the awesome kitchen staff at New Durham Elemen-tary School, June Corson and Peg Stevens. These two ladies are phenomenal at what they do. Thank you so

very much for not only al-lowing us to come into your kitchen but assisting us in every way possible.

It truly takes an army of people working together for pure success; I was over-whelmed with the support

of the taxpayers. We had a great turnout and I truly can’t thank each and every one of you enough.

BY KARL INGOLDSBY

Alton Bay

I am writing in re-sponse to Barbara and Ray Howard’s letter in the Jan. 2 edition of your news-paper. I want everything to be as transparent and clear as possible so there is no miscommunication or misinformation, which these two “gentlemen” are infamous for. I won’t call them liars as I am not so sure they are not just ig-norant of the facts, which make them spouting off every so often in the news-papers, and at board meet-ings misleading. Although they have every right to say whatever they want, I also have a right to call them out on their igno-rance.

It is mentioned that “Another ‘Gentleman,’

Mr. Ingoldsby, who was ‘let go’ from being em-ployed at the school.” This is misleading and another ignorant statement from these “gentlemen.” Why did they use the quotations around gentleman? I have never done anything un-gentlemanly like in their presence and in fact, I act like a gentleman by hold-ing my mouth whenever I see them, this takes great effort. The main issue I have is the Howards’ igno-rance concerning my de-parture from employment at the Alton School Dis-trict. The comment that I was “let go” is misleading showing ignorance at best and I would hope is not reflective of an outright lie from these two people (which would be evil in my opinion). I found a new

job, put in my two weeks’ notice, and stayed em-ployed on a part time basis at Alton Central School until a replacement could be found, and to help with the transition of the new director. I also made my-self available to the busi-ness administrator, super-intendent, administrative assistants, principal, and custodians at ACS to call me whenever they had a question, which was on numerous occasions. This hardly seem like I was “let go.” So let me address the rest of their comments:

They are correct in stat-ing there is no evidence of dangerous air in the recent air quality reports, howev-er the lack of ventilation at Alton Central School is evidenced in every air quality test taken during

my eight years as a facil-ity director at this jewel of a school. Although not hazardous, the air quality does not meet standards for educational facilities due to elevated levels of carbon dioxide, which can cause drowsiness, and is not the greatest learning environment and high levels of dust, which can trigger asthma attacks and allergic reactions. This is due to low CFM (a measurement of air flow) due to a lack of adequate ventilation as industry standards (www.ashrae.org). Several rooms had no exhaust fans and others had exhaust fans but no make-up air, (unless you opened a window, or count the cracks in the walls and single paned glass that grow frost on the inside of them on really cold morn-ings), sounds like an o.k. educational environment to me. (I hope everyone can see the sarcasm).

Another misleading statement is their com-ment that I blamed the administration for the condition of the school. It is actually the budget committee’s responsibili-ty to recommend funding levels and when you are told to level fund, well the facilities team does not get what they need. In 2004 I ensured the then in place Capital Improvement Plan Committee knew of the many issues with the facil-ity and in fact had several warrant articles approved to set up trust funds for future repairs and reno-vations of the windows, boiler, restrooms and many other items. (Subse-quently the CIP committee has been disbanded, thus

we have no capital plan-ning in our town, which is another issue). When the school board was in-formed of how much need-ed to be done and the fact that we had a report from the New England School Development Council that stated we were going to need much more room, it was decided that we would not throw money at a building that needed much more than small projects. A Buildings and Grounds Committee was formed and worked for six years to bring a responsi-ble plan to address all of the issues. We were not go-ing to replace windows on a section of the building that was possibly going to be torn down in a renova-tion nor were we going to renovate restrooms in a building that might not be there. Responsible plan-ning is what it is called, not neglect.

Why was the decision made not to piecemeal? When you are repairing ceilings and installing well-insulated roofs, it makes sense to install sprinklers so you do not have to rip down new ceiling to install them in the next few years and when it is all exposed you should replace the light-ing and install ventila-tion ductwork. Otherwise you are wasting money. These plans were all en-compassing and provided a superior educational fa-cility that would last for another 20+ years. Unfor-tunately the Howards and several other naysayers, had been very vocal about not needing anything at the school and threw out as much misinformation

as possible, to confuse as many voters as possible, so that people really didn’t know what they were vot-ing for, so they voted “no.” This is what they excel in, which some people would consider “evil” when they are dealing with other peo-ple’s children.

They go on to say that we were “purposefully let-ting the building get run down in an effort to ma-nipulate the taxpayers.” This again is ignorant and a manipulation of the tax-payers. We maintained the facility with what was giv-en. We just could never go forward and do the things that needed more detail. A car that is 20 years old can still run if you put oil and gas in it, however if you don’t change the tires or change belts it will even-tually die. If you put the same money into your car every year for the past 20 years you will be purchas-ing less gas and oil. That is sadly what these two and some others would like to have done to ACS. Stop listening to their ignorant rants and their “transpar-ent” (not) actions.

In their closing state-ments they get to the real reasons of their letters. They state that people voted against a “broken educational system.” Aha. They hate the educational system. I am not an educa-tor, I am a facilities direc-tor and the townspeople voted against fixing an ag-ing building. The building is not an educational sys-tem it is a vehicle in which to provide education. There is one thing about spouting off in an editori-al; you see what really is behind a rant.

To the Editor:What would the philos-

opher Mill say about the liberty I saw encroached upon at the New Durham Town Hall on Dec. 30? And why did my personal video recorder get taken away?

According to his week-ly memo, Town Adminis-trator Jeremy Bourgeois arranged a meeting for himself, Rudolf Rosiello (the chair of the informa-tion technology committee (IT)) and an IT specialist/concerned resident. As a brilliant consultant herself, this resident provided the only other feasible alterna-tive as found in her report (at no charge). Their gath-ering had been intended to resolve a professional dis-agreement in regards to a computer system upgrade. The IT committee and Se-lectman David Swenson ad-amantly promoted a $32,000 package (including a $7,000 server). The concerned resident’s streamlined ap-proach looked more cus-tomized and less expensive.

As a selectman myself, I know that all ‘public bod-ies’ are required to have open meetings under the law. According to RSA 91-A:1-a, VI(d) this includes “… any committee, sub-committee or subordinate body thereof, or advisory committee thereto.” Some meetings are not covered by this Right-to-Know Law. However, both Selectman Swenson and I were both present in a public build-ing. I’m sure we both ex-pected to hear persuasive arguments from both the resident and Rosiello. No, this was not some chance,

social or other encounter that would have granted an exception. We didn’t just happen to cross paths at the post office.

After 10 minutes of lis-tening to Rosiello’s intro-duction, Selectman Sw-enson claimed he didn’t realize he was being record-ed. You see, I am also aware that “any person shall be permitted to use recording devices, including but not limited to tape recorders, cameras and video equip-ment, at such meetings.” RSA 91-A:2, II, WMUR Channel Nine vs. N.H. De-partment of Fish and Game, 154 N.H. 46 (2006). Since the meeting began, I had been recording the event on my camera from a nearby ta-ble.

Chair Rosiello claimed that this was a private meeting and for me to erase it. Selectman Swenson said I was not invited and that they’d continue if I turned it off. Meanwhile, the man conducting the meeting (TA Bourgeois) slipped out to contact the police.

Later that afternoon, New Durham Police Chief Shawn Bernier paid me a visit at home. Chief Bernier had this to say: That he was on the phone with the coun-ty attorney, who needed to see if a criminal offense had been committed; that if I didn’t hand over the cam-era they’d have cops at my property going through ev-ery nook and cranny until they found the camera and that he’d call my boss to say a criminal investigation was in progress.

I relented, but I shouldn’t have. When I allowed Chief Bernier into my home to see the footage, he permit-ted his sergeant to seize the camera. When I asked if this was mandatory, the police chief said ‘yes.’ The philosopher Mill wrote about the limit that society can infringe upon the per-sonal liberties of its people. This was an argument that began in Greece, Rome and England. After Dec. 30, I can tell it’s also going on today.

To the Editor:It’s that time of year,

when we all gather togeth-er for our annual Town Meeting. Or maybe some of us do. That’s my point. I don’t know if many in New Durham know this or not but there’s another form of Town Meeting that has two sessions. Oh no. You’re saying two, one was hard enough. Be patient, let me explain.

Nearly 20 years ago the legislators permitted towns to let residents make ma-jor town decisions by pa-per ballot. The original bill proposing the official ballot referenda was Senate Bill 2 in 1995. Legislation in the year 2000, made “SB2” the official name for this form of government. Essentially, this is how it works.

A few significant chang-es were made. First is the creation of a second ses-sion specifically for voting.

That’s the second meeting I was referring to earlier, not really a meeting, this is when you cast your vote at the ballots privately, usually second Tuesday in March.

The deliberative session (first session) is similar to the traditional town meet-ing but is held earlier. Could be end of February. During this meeting, all articles can be explained, discussed, debated and amended. The articles as presented or amended will be placed on the official ballot and voted on at the second session.

Another change is the procedure for adopting the budget. The article propos-es an operating budget and a default budget should the proposed budget fail. A de-fault budget is the same as last year with certain ad-justments.

Basically, this form of government was intro-duced to accommodate the modern lifestyle. The pros for SB2 is the official ballot is more democratic. You see, any registered voter can vote even by absentee

ballot, you might be away on business or vacation or reside elsewhere during the winter months. You know you don’t want to miss town meeting. It also offers more time for consideration and research and time to par-ticipate in the process. The cons have been loss of in-terest and poor attendance at the deliberative sessions and the additional cost if they have to add electronic voting machines. Also, the time between debate and voting can lead to confusion with what was discussed at first meeting.

What I’m suggesting is let the townspeople of New Durham have a voice in whether or not this might be a form of government that would work for us. Would we see an increase in voter participation? That’s my goal. I would love to hear from anyone on wheth-er you’d be interested or not in this form of government. Please write me, PO Box 283, New Durham, NH or e-mail sb2.comments@yahoo.com.

Benefit dinnerThursday, Jan. 16, a benefit spaghetti supper was held at Prospect Mountain High School for Baysider Editor Joshua Spaulding. The proceeds will go to support his upcoming trip to Sochi, as he plans to attend and cover the Olympic games as an American journalist. About 30 student athletes waited on customers, helped prepare the dinner and cleaned up the cafeteria afterward. Between the proceeds from the dinner and other donations, about $600 was raised for Spaulding’s trip, which will take place early in February. The Prospect Mountain High School community wishes Spaulding well as he embarks on this adventure.

BARNSTEAD — Acting Barnstead Chief of Police Joseph G. McDowell re-ports that wanted fugitive Jeffrey P. Nickerson, age 40, and formerly of the Barnstead and Pittsfield area, has been arrested on multiple outstanding war-rants. Following a lengthy investigation, and based upon information accumu-lated by the Barnstead Po-lice, Nickerson was taken into custody in Alton after a search of a residence lo-cated at 288 Main St. Assis-tance was provided by the U.S. Marshal’s Joint Fu-gitive Task Force and the Hillsborough County Sher-iff’s Office with the arrest. Nickerson was later trans-ported to the Merrimack County Department of Cor-rections, where he is being held without bail pending

further court appearances. He was wanted on multi-ple felony level warrants and had been avoiding law enforcement for several months. He was recently featured on the WMUR-TV Channel 9 “Most Wanted” segment. Deemed an es-cape risk due to a warrant from the Pittsfield Police

Department, Nickerson had failed to register as a sex offender and had been considered dangerous. “We appreciate the effort of the fugitive task force with this investigation and arrest,” said Chief McDow-ell. “The arrest of Mr. Nick-erson will help to make our community safer.”

Notes from Windy Hollown

Keeping up with the times – sounds interestingBY VIVIAN LEE DION

Contributing Writer

Am I going through a crisis or keeping up with the times? Perhaps it’s just a phase, but discov-ering one of the hottest gifts of these last few years is fun. I splurged on a pair of professional earphones, also known as circumaural ear-phones. The circular ear pads provide clarity in a surround sound setting. These technological “ear muffs” create my own environment while still being in the same room with the family.

It sure beats my first electronic gadget, a min-iature transistor radio with hard plastic ear-pieces. My cream colored Panasonic radio was in-cased in brown leather with a wrist strap acces-sory. The on/off switch had a round dial known as a thumb switch. The

AM dial had an outer edge with groves that looked like the edge of a coin. Sometimes my finger would turn red from the maneuvering, dial turning and fiddling around that a teenager does to the get better re-ception. Even with static and a poor reception, I thought my little pocket radio was just “the best.”

As one report explains, “The transistor radio is a small portable radio re-ceiver that uses transis-tor-based circuitry. Fol-lowing their development in 1954 they became the most popular electronic communication device in history with billions manufactured during the 1960s and 1970s. Their pocket size sparked a change in popular music listening habits, allowing people to listen to music anywhere they went.”

I remember swaying

to Ricky Nelson singing “Traveling Man” and the DJs spinning Elvis’s 45 rpm record, “Are you Lonesome Tonight?” Pat-sy Cline had a wonder-ful hit, “I Fall to Pieces.” There was Paul Anka, The Everly Brothers and of course, The Beatles.

The new high-tech earphones are amazing. While in the same room with my husband, I can listen to CDs, or watch a video as he views the evening news. The key is not to use the earphones to excess, because a good balance creates a happy marriage.

As the days are getting longer, my thoughts turn to spring. Perhaps a win-ter thaw will come allow-ing me to clean the shed called “Windy Hollow.” I’ll hang up the fishing poles, life preservers and sweep the floor. With the

board agreed to table the issue to look further into it. During public input, it was suggested that bringing all the fire extinguishers to the same building could result in a safety issue of not hav-ing extinguishers in place in every building during inspection.

The board approved a new public health/solid waste ordinance that in-cluded charging $20 per yard for construction and demolition material and $35 a yard for shingles.

The board agreed to send a letter to Mt. Major Snow-mobile Club detailing the use of a town right of way so that the club could apply for a grant. The board insisted that if the grant is approved that the club use a private contractor to build a snow-mobile track and that they couldn’t hire the town high-way department to work on the project.

The board approved items recommended by the town assessor that includ-ed abatements, veteran’s

credits, intent to cut per-mits, timber warrants and administrative abatements.

The board reviewed the Transfer Station Inspection Report submitted by the New Hampshire Depart-ment of Environmental Ser-vices. The report brought up several concerns includ-ing: updating the operation manual, creating a closure plan and signing a new modified Type 3 permit. The board approved updat-ing the operation manual, creating a closure plan au-thorizing Bailey to signing a new Type 3 permit.

The board approved the new annual Landfill Moni-toring Agreement at a cost of $8,000. Bailey indicated that new monitoring wells are scheduled to be in-stalled this year.

The board approved a hawkers and vendors li-cense by Boy Scout Troop 53 to sell chicken soup and grilled cheese sandwich-es in Alton Bay during the Winter Carnival on Feb. 16.

Bailey informed the board that money would be coming from the Local Government Group for

overpayment for health in-surance. The amounts are $10,131.19 from 2011 and $28,020.98 from 2012.

The board discussed the highway bids for next year and agreed to give compa-nies the option to bid for one-year bids or for three-year bids.

The board approved the minutes of the Dec. 11 meet-ing and workshop minutes from Dec. 30 and Jan. 14.

The board approved several waivers for a sep-tic system located at Map 63 Lot 17. The system has already been installed and after one contractor left the project, a new contractor did the work and was un-aware that it needed town approval. The waivers in-cluded distances from tank to surface water, well to tank, leach bed to well and tank to catch basin. Ad-ditionally, the board will require a new innovative system to be installed if the current system fails. John Dever, the building inspec-tor, explained the plans, and Tom Varney, answered any questions provided by the board. The plans will be forwarded to the state for fi-nal approval.

The next scheduled meeting of the Alton Board of Selectmen is on Monday, Feb. 3, at 6 p.m. at the Alton Town Hall.

Much to tellDiane Bellington studies one of the elaborate paintings by Saad Hindal, currently displayed at the New Durham Public Library. Known for his bold use of color, symbols, and surrealistic images, the Iraqi-born Hindal took his family to Egypt when the ransom for his kidnapped older son drained the family’s finances. A new life of peace and freedom here in New Hampshire has renewed Hindal’s inspiration, and many of the paintings at the library include memories of family, Iraq and the dreams that unite everyone. As testament to the several dimensions within each painting, patrons have remarked that they cannot take their eyes off his works. A reception with Hindal and his family, complete with Iraqi dishes, will be held tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 24, from 5 to 6 p.m.

ALTON — On Fri-day, 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 Gil-man Library 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 Korin White via e-mail at korinwhite@earthlink.net.

What is Reiki? Reiki is just another word for ener-gy. Reiki energy is experi-enced through a Reiki treat-ment, which is a series of hand positions on or off the fully-clothed body. It helps the body achieve balance and assists the body in re-turning to its natural state of good health. Reiki treat-ments are non-invasive and are always done for the individual’s highest good, physically or emotionally. There is no belief system or religion attached to Rei-ki, so anyone can receive a treatment.

Ethel L. (McAllister) PinkhamFormer Postmaster

BARNSTEAD — Ethel L. (McAllister) Pinkham, 96, peacefully passed away at the Merrimack County Nursing Home with family members by her side on Jan. 15.

Ethel was born in Pitts-field, Maine, on May 14, 1917. Her family moved to Nashua for a short period before settling in Center Barnstead. She grew up in Center Barnstead and graduated from Pittsfield H.S. class of 1935. She attended the University of N.H. and graduated in 1939 with a Bachelor of Science in home eco-nomics and was a lifelong member of the Kappa Delta Sorority. On Dec. 1, 1939, she married John (Jack) H. Pinkham.

During WWII Eth-el and John resided in Portsmouth and start-ed their family. After the war Ethel and John moved their family to Center Barnstead. While being a homemaker for their six children, Eth-el worked part-time for the United States Postal

Service and later became Postmaster. She retired from the Postal Service after 30 years.

On May 14, 2011, her 94th birthday, Ethel was presented the Boston Post Cane by the select-men of Barnstead. Ethel was a life member of the Earl B. Clark Post #42 American Legion Aux-iliary in Barnstead Pa-rade, former president of the Barnstead PTA, char-ter member of the Center Barnstead Fire Depart-ment Auxiliary, member of the Pleiades Chapter 41 Order of Eastern Star in Pittsfield, member of the Rural Letter Carriers As-sociation Auxiliary, and a member of the National Association of Postmas-ters and the National League of Postmasters.

Ethel enjoyed quilt-ing, sewing, gardening, reading, traveling the country and spending time with her family and friends. Her family and friends loved her cooking especially her pork roast and chocolate cake.

Ethel is survived by four sons, John A. Pinkham of Texas, Lar-ry B. Pinkham of Ore-gon, Philip J. Pinkham and Alan W. Pinkham of New Hampshire; two daughters, Christine A. Wheeler and Mary E. Pinkham-Langer of New Hampshire; seven grand-children, seven great grandchildren; a brother-in-law, David B. Pinkham and his wife Ursula of Connecticut; sister-in-laws, Doris Welch and Shirley Pinkham of New Hampshire and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband John in 2009 and by her brother Robert W. McAllister in 1979.

At her request, there will be no services. After cremation, burial will be in the family plot in the Durham Cemetery. The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the staff at the Merrimack County Nurs-ing Home and Hospice for the excellent care and compassion.

Legion hosting prime rib dinner

PITTSFIELD — Feeling tired, alone, used up with nothing else to give anyone? How would you like a few hours to just be, to be with a bunch of other women, to be pampered, to be able to eat without having to cook it, or serve it or clean up af-ter it? How about being able to laugh and sing and listen

to a message that will meet your needs, challenge your life and help you to grow and survive in this crazy world? And if that isn’t enough, how about a sweet ending dessert buffet? (Can you say lots of chocolate?) Well, there’s a group that would like to offer you that time. At the Pittsfield Ad-

vent Christian Church (not associated with Seventh Day Adventist) at 68 Main St., they are hosting the first annual Suncook Val-ley Ladies Day, on Satur-day, Feb. 8. Guest speaker, Marcy Alves comes from Concord and will speak on Women in a Godless World. She will be joined by celebrated gospel sing-er and performer Tenley Westbrook who will lead the group in joy-filled mu-sic. They will begin at 12 p.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. with the dessert buffet, just enough time for busy ladies to take a bit of time just for you. There is a discount for preregistration. What more could you want? There are prizes, also. And chocolate. Contact Donna DeTrude (942-6262), Dot Hardy (Dor-Bev5@gmail.com) or on Facebook under Donna De-Trude or Dot Hardy.

Suncook Valley Ladies Night is Feb. 8

for likewise (a moose draws a low growl), and then perches on the prow of the boat, trying to eat the trout I’ve caught and want to release. “Suste-nance,” she concludes, and leaps at the flailing fish, which I save from her jaws and put back, at

which she looks at me as in “You stupid.”

I’m lucky to have a dog that can be a real dog, in dog environs, doing what dogs were meant to do. But loving dogs as I do, even if I were in Manhat-tan I’d probably have a dog, or more correctly, a

dog would have me.(This column runs in

13 weekly papers covering the northern two-thirds of New Hampshire and parts of Maine and Vermont. John Harrigan’s address: Box 39, Colebrook, NH 03576, or campguyhoooli-gan@gmail.com)

In New York, meaning New York City for most of the world, an assumption that small-town and rural New Yorkers probably hate, people walk their dogs on the sidewalks, or pay someone else to do it for them. Sometimes (I have actually seen this), professional dog-walkers have half a dozen or more leashes in hand, and walk as if pulled by a tractor.

I’ve seen this in Low-er Manhattan, where I go to visit my older sis-ter who lives there after a long newspaper career, and my son, who is in the book publishing business. In this he endures an hour and a half commute to work and back home in Connecticut at the end of the day, a life I can scarce-ly imagine.

Recently I had to ar-range an appointment with a specialist in Man-chester (hey, at 66 who doesn’t?), and was trying to explain the geograph-ic challenges to the nice woman fielding the calls. “What do I have to bring or send?” I asked. Trans-late: I was desperate to avoid multiple trips.

I discovered that now, as then, state geography is not taught in school. “Ordinarily you would get your preliminary tests done,” she said brightly, “and then come back for a consultation with the doctor, and then come back for the procedure, and then come back for a follow-up.” That added up to four trips. I thought, as I always do, that perhaps some of this stuff could be done in Colebrook.

“I can see Lower Que-

bec from my front porch,” I offered. Not much of a response there. “It’s three hours, on a good day, to the middle of Manches-ter,” I added. Again, not much of a response.

All of this is about ge-ography and different habits and situations and desires, things I love to look at and think about.

It is both people’s need to have dogs and the folly of having dogs that drive the Dog World of Manhat-tan. If you had to think up the worst-case scenario for a dog being a dog as dogs were meant to be, and asked the dog where it really wanted to live, it would not be Manhattan.

The thinking about all this came the other morn-ing when I let my dog Millie out for a whiz in the barnyard, just shy of the 45th Parallel. She can go as far out as she feels safe (we have abundant ever-more-wolf –like coy-otes), and is vehicle-savvy from living in a world of trucks, tractors and all sorts of logging and farm and mowing equipment on down the line.

Off she went stiff-legged, in the miniature poodle patrolling style of a strutting trooper, and suddenly went stiff, locked on, tail quiver-ing, in response to some sound from the woods. She has utterly no hope of catching the chipmunks and squirrels that cavort around the back yard and barns. They taunt her, which makes me think “Monty Python” and “a shrubbery.” She is doomed to failure, but doesn’t know it.

Not many dogs get to lead such a life, with no boundaries except mu-tual ones and the spoken command. There are no leashes or pooper-scoo-pers in this dog’s world. There are 165 home acres and huge tracts of neigh-boring land to roam on, always accompanied, of course, by me, and al-ways under voice com-mand. My short list of commands and questions include “Wanna go out?”

and “Wait,” and “Stay,” and “Hot dog?” (she loves hot dogs) and in extreme cases (porcupines, bears, moose, deer, the occasion-al skunk or passerby), “No.”

I have a hard time un-derstanding a dog’s life in the confines of a built-up island at the center of world trade and celebri-ties and fashion and fi-nance, things that do not seem to matter here, at least to me, but of course they do. In the eyes of many, including me, I live in a sort of Shangri La, a fragile and demanding place, great to live in but in subtle fashion requir-ing a commitment to stew-ard in responsible fashion for the next temporary steward after you’re gone. In the meantime every-one scratches like hell to make a living.

Haute couture and walking dogs in Man-hattan? I think about life halfway between the Equator and the North Pole, and taking Millie to camp, where she courses ahead of me on the trail, scouting for danger, and positions herself on the porch to scan, radar-like,

LACONIA — The Sun-day before Super Bowl marks the day Weirs Beach Lobster Pound hosts the an-nual chili cook off, this year slated for Sunday Jan. 26.

Anyone with a penchant for fire and heat and a will-ingness to sample many chili offerings, is invited to join the festivities at this much anticipated eating event. There is an admis-sion fee, but children under 12 may sample for free at this family friendly venue.

The chili cook off will kick off promptly at noon as a number of well known and newer area restaurants vie for votes in the People’s Choice Award voted by se-cret ballot by all who come to taste.

The official judging pan-el comprising of Laconia Fire Chief Ken Erickson, Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams and Laconia Mayor Ed Engler will ultimately award bragging rights to the restaurant fielding the meanest chili in the Lakes Region. Chief Adams, re-turning judge on the official panel quipped, “it’s not all law and order in the Lakes Region. My department and I are very supportive of the mission of the local animal shelter, we are a de-partment of animal lovers

and we all love chili.” In-coming Mayor Engler also commented, “long have the reporters at Laconia Daily Sun covered stories from the Humane Society, I am thrilled to join the panel since this event is for such a worthy charity, near and dear to my heart.”

Live entertainment with regionally famed Paul Warnick and renowned saxophonist Jonathan Lo-rentz will keep the crowds musically limber. All who participate in the chili cook off will be able to purchase tickets for the restaurant raffles and the 50/50 raffle. Awards and raffle drawing will be held at 4 p.m.

Weirs Beach Lobster Pound, owned by the Ray brothers, Rich and Mike, and managed by Bob Wil-son, are strong animal ad-vocates and big supporters of the New Hampshire Hu-mane Society. Their own Ambassadog, the beautiful Madison, serves to remind all the importance of stew-ardship of those who can-not speak for themselves. In support of the local ani-mal shelter, 100 percent of the event proceeds will be

gifted to the animal welfare agency.

Shelter spokesperson Marylee Gorham said, “we are so grateful to the Lobster Pound, the many restau-rants who have stepped up to the challenge this year and the judges who agreed to lend their support on the 26th. Knowing we have so many friends in the com-munity inspires our staff, volunteers and supporters to do the very best they can every day, enriching the lives of the animals we are pledged to care for until adoption.”

Parking is plentiful at Weirs Beach Lobster Pound. The event will like-ly draw an even bigger crowd that last year. “With so many restaurants vying for bragging rights, we ex-pect a huge turn out from all who enjoy food, fun and are willing to risk their taste buds. My advice, wear a stretchy waistband,” laughed Gorham.

For more information about the event, call Weirs Beach Lobster Pound at 366-2255 or check www.wblp.com or www.nhhu-mane.org.

BARNSTEAD — The Oscar Foss Memorial Li-brary has a new Kindle E-reader that patrons can check out for two weeks. Library staff are thrilled to be able to offer this device to the community. Be sure to come in and check it out.

The OFML invites the families of Barnstead to visit the library on Satur-day, Feb. 1, for a special

children’s day. Join the library staff for fun activ-ities and discover all the free programs and resourc-es the library has to offer.

An AARP TaxAide Pro-gram is being offered at OFML starting Wednes-day, Feb. 5. This is a free tax preparation and e-fil-ing service. Call 211 or email concordtaxaide@metrocast.net after Jan. 20

for an appointment. Please call (269-3900) or

visit the library for more information on any of these programs or events. Library hours are: Mon-days from 2 to 8 p.m., Tues-days and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thurs-days from 5 to 8 p.m., Fri-days from 2 to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. until noon.

ALTON — After appear-ing to turn a corner with a big win over previous-ly-undefeated Newfound the previous Friday, the Prospect Mountain girls’ basketball team seemingly went back around that cor-ner against Somersworth on Wednesday, Jan. 15.

“We had the big win hangover,” coach Brian Contorchick said. “When our shots weren’t falling we weren’t able to develop a rhythm.

“If we hit a couple of shots early on, we can get in our press,” Contorchick added, noting that it could have changed the pace of the game if the Tim-ber Wolves could’ve got-ten into their press they could’ve gotten a better rhythm going.

The ‘Toppers scored the game’s first hoop be-fore Ella Montminy hit a free throw for the Timber Wolves.

After another Somer-sworth hoop, Amelia Duane hit for the Timber Wolves to cut the Somer-

sworth lead to 4-3. That was as close as the Timber Wolves would get for the remainder of the game.

The ‘Toppers convert-ed a three-point play and Hope Carazzo drilled a free throw to make it 7-4. The ‘Toppers got a free throw to close out the quarter with an 8-4 lead.

The Timber Wolves struggled even more in the second quarter, as the ‘Toppers took control of the game.

After the visitors drilled the first two hoops of the quarter, Madison McKenzie hit a free throw for the Timber Wolves. Somersworth then went on a run of five hoops in a row, pushing the lead from 12-5 to 22-5. Four of the hoops came off of Pros-pect turnovers, either in the backcourt while bring-ing the ball up the court or in the offensive zone on bad passes.

Emma Hardie hit a free throw for the Timber Wolves to end the Somer-sworth run, but the ‘Top-pers hit a three-pointer to close out the quarter and

send the visitors to the locker room with a 25-6 lead.

“Even at that point, we were down 19 with a half of basketball to play,” Contorchick said. “I fig-ured we’d come out of the locker room on fire just like we did on Friday and that was not the case.

“Six points in the first half, that was our issue,” Contorchick added.

Duane scored the first four points of the second half, as she hit two free throws and a field goal to cut the lead to 25-10. Somersworth answered with two hoops before Montminy hit her first field goal of the night for the Timber Wolves.

After another Somer-sworth hoop, Carazzo drilled a three-pointer to cut the lead to 31-15. An-other Prospect turnover led to two more Somer-sworth points. Anna Hingston hit for the Tim-ber Wolves, but again the ‘Toppers answered with two more hoops.

Duane closed out the quarter with a hoop for the Timber Wolves for a 37-19 score at the end of

the third quarter.Prospect had a very

strong fourth quarter, as they held the visitors to just one field goal and four points in the frame, but the deficit was just too much.

Abby Mucher hit a hoop to open the fourth quarter, with Montmi-ny following with a free throw. After Somersworth hit its lone field goal of the quarter, Montminy sunk a three-pointer to cut the lead to 39-25. Somersworth hit a free throw, but Duane responded with a three-pointer for the Tim-ber Wolves. Carazzo fol-lowed with a free throw, but the visitors hit one fi-nal free throw for the 41-29 final.

“We had to drop into halfcourt man-to-man and weren’t able to get into our rhythm,” Contorchick said of his team’s early struggles.

He also went on to cred-it Somersworth.

“His team is incredibly disciplined,” the Timber Wolf said. “They did the things that we didn’t do.”

The Timber Wolf coach is aware that his team

needs to start hitting shots early if they want the game to go their way.

“We just need to devel-op the rhythm and it just wasn’t there,” Contor-chick said.

The Timber Wolves were playing without starting center Shannon Meyer and key bench play-er Brooke Burley.

Duane led the Timber Wolves with 11 points on the night, while Montmi-ny chipped in with seven points.

The Timber Wolves got back on track with a 48-35 win over Inter-Lakes on Friday, Jan. 17.

Prospect led 17-10 af-ter one and continued to stretch the lead through-out the contest.

“We focused on our shooting in our last prac-tice,” Contorchick said. “And we ended up coming out on fire. It was what I expected out of the girls.”

The first-year Timber Wolf coach was pleased his team was able to iden-tify the problem in one game and fix it before the next game, something he said is important heading to the second half of the

season.Montminy led the way

with 17 points, while Duane chipped in with seven.

“I was really impressed with what we did and how we did it,” Contorchick said.

The Timber Wolves will be back in action on Fri-day, Jan. 24, when they host Campbell at 6:30 p.m. On Tuesday, Jan. 28, they will be hosting Laconia at 6 p.m.

It has certainly been a busy few weeks. With all the local teams swinging into action, the schedule has been filled up with ski meets, basketball and hock-ey games and trips to UNH for indoor track meets.

With the busy times, I hadn’t gotten a chance to head north to take down the Christmas lights. That is, until this past weekend.

After a beautiful day of alpine skiing at Cranmore for the Kennett and King-swood ski teams, I stayed in North Conway for the Kennett hoop girls doing battle vs. Plymouth.

From there, I turned the car north and headed to my mother’s house in Stark.

The previous week, the ice had let go in the river, sending huge chunks of ice hurtling down the riv-er. My mother’s boyfriend went out and untied the four trees located near the river and hauled them up to higher ground, so we simply had to take the lights off of them and put them away in the top floor of the barn.

The other six trees were also stripped of the lights and put away until next year. A number of years ago I purchased devices that allow me to wrap up the lights and store them easily. I label all the sets of lights so I know which set goes with which tree and the following December they will all be ready to go.

We also took down all of the wreaths, which in-volved going up on the roof to get a few of them down from the second floor. As it turned out, Mother Nature had helped with another one, knocking it off some-

time earlier in the week.My mother and her boy-

friend had already taken down the indoor tree, so I just packed up all of the decorations from around the house and prepared them for storage in the at-tic.

Next came the candles, as they all got unplugged and wrapped up and put away in the attic as well.

My plan was to head out at about 5 p.m. to head to the Ham Arena for the Kennett hockey game and return home to finish up all of the stuff I needed to do. However, Kennett AD Ker-ry Brady called me midway through my undecorating to let me know that the game was postponed due to the weather. The sun was shining in Stark, but to the south, it was quite snowy and Souhegan wasn’t up for making the trip north.

So, I was able to finish all of the work and Mike and I put all the decora-tions away up in the attic to wrap up the work I needed to do.

Next up was the task of writing a few stories. With

the hockey game cancelled, I had even more time to get the work done and wrote the hoop story from the previous night, as well as two Nordic skiing stories from earlier in the week and two alpine stories from Friday at Cranmore.

All in all, it was a pro-ductive weekend, which will allow for a few adven-tures in the coming weeks, including of course, the trip to Russia, which begins on Feb. 6.

Finally, I want to extend a note of thanks to the Pros-pect Mountain community. The student-athletes host-ed a dinner on Thursday night to benefit my trip to the Olympics and many teachers, coaches and com-munity members took part. I am grateful for all of their assistance.

Have a great day, J Fitz-patrick.

Alton Youth League signups Feb. 6 and 8

Cardiac kidsKingswood hockey gets another come-from-behind winBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — The Kingswood hockey team has shown a propensity for third period come-backs.

So, in that regard, Wednesday, Jan. 15, was just another day at the of-fice.

The Knights fell be-hind by two goals on more than one occasion, but that didn’t stop them, as they rallied all the way back to pull out a 5-4 win over Alvirne at the Pop Whalen Arena.

Owen Richard sent the Kingswood fans home happy and sent the Al-virne players to their bus completely stunned, as he picked up a loose puck at the blue line with just seconds to go in the game, broke in on goal and flicked it past the Bron-co keeper as the buzzer sounded for the game winner.

“Our guys just battled through,” Knight coach Andrew Trimble said. “They won that game on effort alone.

“There’s a saying in the locker room, ‘night-time is the righttime,’” Trimble said. “And night-time is the third period.”

He admitted that there certainly will be a time when the third period will come back to haunt the Knights.

“I know it’s going to beat us somewhere down the line,” Trimble said. “But we’re enjoying it in the moment.”

To make things worse for the Knights, Luke French remained out with a concussion and defenseman Brodie De-shaies broke his collar-bone in a scrimmage

over the weekend, leav-ing Trimble with a short bench.

The second-year Knight coach noted that Peter Marshall moved back to defense to fill in for Deshaies, who Trim-ble credited with having demonstrated a lot of im-provement since the start of the season.

“Brodie had been play-ing well,” the Knight coach said. “But Peter will be back there for a while.”

Alvirne got the scor-ing started, putting two pucks past Kingswood keeper Tom Dougherty, the first with 5:46 to go in the period and the second with just more than two minutes to go in the peri-od to take a 2-0 lead to the second period.

Kingswood answered quickly in the second pe-riod, as Owen Gonya put home Kingswood’s first goal of the game just 45 seconds into the period to cut the lead to 2-1.

Just more than three minutes later, Matt Mitchell tied the score, as he put the puck home on assists from Jake Vatala-ro and Marshall.

Alvirne didn’t waste much time taking the lead back, as the visitors scored just more than 40 seconds after the tying goal and they tallied an-other goal with 3:29 to go in the period to take a 4-2 lead to the final period.

And then, it was night-time.

Josh Grasso fired home a shot from the left circle just more than three and a half minutes into the pe-riod. The puck hit the far post and caromed into the net to cut the lead to 4-3. Richard got the assist.

Kingswood continued to attack, with Matt Har-rington, Richard, Andy Contrada and Grasso all getting good scoring bids in the zone. Vatalaro put a rebound of a Grasso shot on net only to see the Bronco keeper make the save.

Sam Bonenfant and Marshall continued the attack, but it was Grasso that tied the game, as he shot the puck from the point and it knuckled its way into the net with just less than three minutes to go in the game, tying the game at four.

That paved the way for Richard’s heroics, in the final seconds to give the Knights another come-from-behind win.

Coincidentally enough, the Knights strayed from the game plan early on, forcing the comebacks. The plan was to stay out of the penalty box, since Alvirne excels on the power play.

The Knights took a couple of penalties in the first period, including a five-minute penalty, and Alvirne capitalized.

“They have a good power play, that’s their bread and butter,” Trim-ble said. “The idea was to say out of the box and we did just the opposite.

“We played right into their hands,” Trimble said.

The Knights will be back in action on Sat-urday, Jan. 25, at home against Goffstown at 7 p.m. and will be at Spauld-ing on Sunday, Jan. 26, at 1:30 p.m.

ALTON — The Prospect Mountain boys’ basketball team was able to bounce back from a tough offensive performance to start the week and deliver a strong performance on Friday, Jan. 17, in Meredith.

“A good offensive night after a poor perfor-mance on Wednesday vs. Somersworth,” coach Tom Bourdeau said, noting his team shot 48 percent vs. 30 percent at Somersworth and put up 70 points vs. 32 at Somersworth.

“We drove the ball very well and I-L committed many fouls on our drives,” Bourdeau added.

The Timber Wolves made 19 free throws on the evening while the Lakers made just one, making for the difference in the game as the Timber Wolves took the 70-56 win.

The two teams played to an even first quarter, with each squad putting up 16 points in the first eight min-utes, but Prospect took con-

trol in the middle quarters, outscoring the host Lakers by a margin of 37-15 to give them a 53-31 lead heading to the fourth quarter.

“It was a much-needed lead,” Bourdeau noted.

The Lakers started the fourth quarter on a 16-1 run to cut into the lead, but the Timber Wolves were able to finish strong and put up 16 points to just nine for the Lakers after the opening run.

The Timber Wolves were able to put three players in double figures, as senior Logan LaRoche led the way with 27 points and Zach Rob-ertson put in 19. Brian Borel-li got in on the double-digit action with 10 points on the night. Robertson chipped in with 15 rebounds as well.

The Timber Wolves opened the week with a trip to Somersworth, where the offense struggled and Pros-pect dropped a 37-32 deci-sion on Wednesday, Jan. 15.

“Eight points total in the second and third quarters killed us,” Bourdeau said. “Giving Somersworth 11

more points than us at the free throw line didn’t help either.”

Prospect took a 10-8 lead after one quarter, but Somersworth outscored the visitors 14-7 in the second quarter for the 22-17 lead at the halftime break. Prospect managed just one point in the third quarter, but did hold the ‘Toppers to just five points in the frame, so the score stood at 27-18 heading to the fourth quarter.

Prospect outscored the hosts by four points in the final frame, but it wasn’t enough.

Robertson led the way for the Timber Wolves, as he put up nine points on the night, while Nate Farnham added seven. Robertson also snagged 12 rebounds on the night.

The Timber Wolves are back in action on Friday, Jan. 24, at 7 p.m. at Camp-bell and Tuesday, Jan. 28, at Laconia at 6 p.m.

T-Wolf boys bounce back after tough loss

JOSHUA SPAULDING

LOGAN LAROCHE scored 27 points in his team’s win at Inter-Lakes.

Eldridge then drilled a three-pointer to close out the frame, cutting the John Stark lead to 37-24.

After the Generals hit two free throws to open the third, McCullough hit a hoop for the Knights. However, John Stark found its stroke from downtown again, drilling two more three-pointers and a free throw to take a 20-point lead at 46-26.

Eldridge hit another three-pointer to stop the General run. After anoth-er Stark hoop, Garabedi-an and Sean Stackhouse hit back-to-back hoops to get the Knights started on their comeback.

The Generals got the first point of the quarter from the line, but Kelley and Cole Tremblay each hit baskets and a pair of Eldridge free throws with 5:33 to go cut the lead to 10 at 49-39. The visitors got two free throws to push the lead back to 12, but another hoop from Trem-blay and two more free throws from Eldridge cut the lead to eight with 4:37 to go.

The Generals hit two more free throws to go back up by 10, but Mc-Cullough finished off a nice pass from Madden to cut the lead to 53-45 with just more than two min-utes to go in the game.

However, the Knights weren’t able to score again and the Generals closed out the game with six free throws in the fi-nal minutes for the 59-45 win.

While Place was happy

to see his team rally late, he was also impressed with how composed John Stark stayed.

“I have to give them credit,” he said. “They stayed in their press and didn’t get ruffled.”

As for the rally, the first-year Knight head coach loved the intensity he saw from his team.

“Now we need that for 32 minutes,” Place said. “We have to make some of our baskets, we have to hit some of our shots.

“But we’re closer,” he added.

The Knights will be entertaining one of the top teams in Division II on Friday, Jan. 24, when Pembroke comes to town for a 6:30 p.m. game. The boys will be at Bishop Brady on Tuesday, Jan. 28, at 6:30 p.m.

Timber Wolves compete in Maine

BY JOSHUA SPAULDING

WOLFEBORO — The Kingswood boys’ basket-ball team showed quite a bit of fight in the fourth quarter of its game on Tuesday, Jan. 14, against John Stark.

However, the early hot shooting from the Gener-als allowed them to stay in front and pull out the win, despite not hitting a single field goal in the fourth quarter.

“Our effort was there, not that it wasn’t any other game,” coach Dan Place said. “But we were looking for each other, it was a more concentrated effort, it was focused.”

Trailing by as much as 20 points late in the third quarter, the Knights came storming back, cut-ting the lead to eight with 4:37 to go and again with 2:02 to go in the game, but the Generals hit their free throws down the stretch and didn’t allow the Knights to get any closer and took a 59-45 win.

“It’s our best effort,” Place said, comparing the game to his team’s earli-er contests. “If we don’t’ have that kind of effort, we’re not beating any-body.”

The Knights came out of the gate strong, but the Generals seemingly couldn’t miss in the first

quarter, especially from beyond the three-point arc.

The visitors hit six three-pointers in the first eight minutes, plus four other field goals.

Mike Garabedian scored the first five points for the Knights, hitting a hoop and converting on a three-point play, at that point cutting the lead to 7-5. After another General basket, Tom McCullough hit a free throw to bring the score within three, but a hoop and the second three from the Generals pushed the lead to 14-6.

McCullough hit a hoop, but another three kept the Generals in con-trol. Garabedian hit his third hoop of the evening, but John Stark respond-ed with back-to-back three-pointers for a 23-10 lead.

Josh LaFleur hit two free throws, but the visi-tors hit one more three to close out the first quarter with a 26-12 lead.

The Generals cooled down from beyond the arc in the second quarter, but still maintained the solid play and stayed in front.

After the visitors hit the first hoop of the quarter, McCullough hit a hoop and Garabedi-an sank a free throw to cut the lead to 28-15, but John Stark followed with

a hoop and three free throws to stretch the lead to 33-15.

Mike Kelley converted a three-point play for the Knights, but the Generals

responded with two more hoops for a 37-18 lead.

Dan Eldridge hit two free throws and Jeff Mad-den hit one as the Knights closed out the half and

WOLFEBORO — The Kingswood Boosters Club met on Monday, Jan. 13, at 6 p.m. and meets every second Monday of each month at Doran Indepen-dent Insurance. The club is currently organizing the winter sports dinner and selling the winter sports programs. The programs are on sale now for all win-ter teams for $5 each. Pro-ceeds will go to supporting three scholarships in June for KRHS athletes. The main topic of discussion at this meeting was to fo-cus on ways to spread the word for the families of the two Kingswood athletes that have been struck with tragedy.

Senior Emily Jewett was in a horrific car ac-cident and is recovering from a severe brain inju-ry in a rehabilitation cen-ter. Donations to help her family with medical bills not covered by insurance can be made through the following: Emily’s Fight for Recovery http://gfwd.at/1gCSsNK and Fighting for Emily http://www.gofundme.com/5s4kcg.

trada and his family lost their home to a fire two days after Christmas. The family had no insurance and it was a complete loss. The hockey team is having a spaghetti dinner at the KRHS cafeteria on Friday, Jan. 24, at 6 p.m. and atten-dance is encouraged. Do-nations can also be made to the following: The Con-trada Fire Relief @www.youcaring.com. Accounts have been set up at TD Bank, Contrada Family Fire Fund 36 Center St.,

Wolfeboro Falls, NH 03896 Attn. Tammy Rogers and Profile Bank Attn. John and Mary Contrada 45 Wakefield St. Rochester, NH 03867.

It is difficult times like these that the Kingswood Boosters see the communi-ty come together and mem-bers all keep both these families in their thoughts.

NORTH CONWAY — For the second week in a row, the Kingswood al-pine team hit the slopes of Cranmore Mountain Resort in North Conway.

However, after Ha-nover and Lebanon backed out of the race, the Knights competed against only the host Ken-nett Eagles.

But, due to the lack of other teams, the skiers were all able to get in six runs total on the day, in-

cluding four giant slalom runs (two races) and two slalom runs (one race).

For the girls in the first giant slalom race, it was senior Zoe Reed leading the charge, as she placed eighth overall in 56.43 seconds.

Kirsten Gehl was sec-ond for the Knights in 12th place in a time of 1:00.11 and Jasper Sha-piro came home 13th in 1:00.62.

Cassidy Ridings round-ed out the scoring for the Kingswood girls, as she

finished in 14th in 1:01.5.Laura Blocher came

home 15th in 1:01.8, Han-nah Demain was 17th in 1:03.17, Mikayla Osgood was 18th in 1:03.55 and Kennah Leavitt rounded out the field of Knights in 19th in a time of 1:04.79.

In the second giant sla-lom race of the morning, it was again Reed leading the way for Kingswood, finishing in ninth in 56.18 seconds.

Gehl was once again in second for the Knights, finishing 12th in 58.23 sec-

onds and Shapiro placed 15th in 1:00.65.

Ridings was 16th in 1:01.28 to round out the scoring for the King-swood girls.

Osgood finished 17th in 1:01.48, Blocher was 18th in 1:10.64, Demain was 19th in 1:03.96 and Leavitt finished in 22nd in 1:39.65.

In the afternoon sla-lom, Reed once again was the top Knight, as she fin-ished in eighth place in 1:27.24.

Shapiro moved up to second among Kingswood skiers, finishing 10th in 1:28.76 and Gehl was 12th in 1:31.76.

Ridings rounded out the scoring with a 14th place finish in a time of 1:36.23.

Blocher was 15th in 1:36.31, Demain was 16th in 1:42.45 and Leavitt rounded out the field of Knights in 19th in 1:48.02.

Among boys, Alec Kalled led the charge in the first giant slalom race, as he finished eighth

overall in 53.23 seconds.Tegan Keating was

second for Kingswood in 13th overall in 55.07 sec-onds and Isaac Sheehan finished in 18th in 1:01.06.

James Varney rounded out the scoring for King-swood in 20th place in a time of 1:02.13.

Josh Bisson finished in 22nd place in 1:05.2 to round out the field of Kingswood athletes com-pleting both runs.

Kalled again led the way for the Knights in the second giant slalom run, finishing in 51.51 seconds for sixth place overall.

Sheehan moved up to second among the Knights in 58.16 for 17th place and Zach Mason finished in 18th in 58.39 seconds.

Varney again round-ed out the scoring with a time of 1:01.82 for 20th place overall.

Matt Ridings was 22nd in 1:03.02, Bisson was 23rd in 1:05.23 and Keat-ing was 25th in 1:19.84.

The boys returned to

the hill for the afternoon slalom and Kalled led the way again, finishing in a tie for third place in 1:08.33. He got a break on his second run after struggling with a cou-ple of slips. The timers hadn’t started the clock when he was at the top, so he got another run and came through it clean.

Varney was second among the Kingswood skiers, as he placed 17th in 1:31.47 and Sheehan was 18th in 1:37.02.

Bisson rounded out the scoring with a 20th place finish in 1:43.56.

Mason was the only other Knight to finish both runs, crossing in 1:52.54 for 21st place over-all.

The Knights will be returning to their home hill at King Pine for an 11 a.m. meet on Friday, Jan. 24.
