New superintendent, principal meet public New Alton Central staff members introduced

BY ELIZABETH CANTRALL Contributing Writer

ALTON — Alton Central School Board provided a time to meet and greet the recently hired administrators and directors before its regular monthly meeting. Community members and fellow employees attended the event held in the Prospect Mountain High School library and introduced themselves to ACS Superintendent Maureen Ward, Principal Chris Blackstone, Special Education Director, Jennifer Katz-Borrin, Food Service Director Sam Cowan, Technology Director Bill Leonard and Vice-Principal Tom Waldron. According to school board member Steve Miller, the school board recruited Ward by “talking her out of retirement.” Additionally he stated they had recruited Blackstone, with the help of former superintendent Bill Lander, originally for the job of vice-principal, but were impressed enough to ask she serve as principal instead. Miller also stated Lander found Leonard,

tral School is still undergoing construction. School board chairperson Krista Argiropolis opened the meeting and began with public input.

Alton resident Carol Locke welcomed all of the new employees and stated they all seemed very “personable.” She also stated that while she was “pleased

to see all the qualifications” these individuals possess, Locke was “dismayed” the search committee she had been a part of was not involved in any hiring.

Locke went on to state the “culture and climate at the school is at an all time low,” and it does affect education of the SEE ALTON, PAGE A10

Prevention key in Lyme disease battle BY CATHY ALLYN Contributing Writer

REGION — The last thing you want to see on the back of your calf as you’re settling into bed on a Friday night is the distinctive bull’s-eye rash of Lyme disease. If you’re like some people (one woman in particular springs to mind), you’ll run to the Internet to see if something else could have caused it. Reassured that some spider bites may result in a red center and a ring, you climb back into bed, assuming it will be “better in the morning,” and you won’t have to seek medical care. Wrong.

Lyme disease, a tickborne infection that can cause neurological and joint problems, is endemic to this area. If you need proof of that, just mention Lyme to the first 10 people you meet after reading this; at least one of them has had it, been treated for it, or knows someone who has. It can get nasty. In the example above, if the woman (a purely hypothetical personage, I

assure you) had gone immediately to the emergency room, she would have received antibiotics before flu-like symptoms of fever, nausea, and headache appeared, sparing her several days of discomfort. If she had even gone when she first awakened, rather than following through with all of her planned activities of the day, she would SEE LYME, PAGE A9

Budget committee talks possible new members BY ELIZABETH CANTRALL

Contributing Writer ALTON — Alton’s budget committee met on July 15 in the town hall for a regular business meeting. Currently the committee has a call out for two new members and, so far, they have had three people offer to serve. Marc DeCoff, a former selectman, has previously served on the budget committee and has expressed his interest to do so again. Greg Fuller has also

previously served on the budget committee and did so for many years before taking a break. David Hershey is a new resident to Alton, according to budget committee Chair Andy McLeod, with a “wide ranging resume.’” In opening the topic for discussion, McLeod asked if any of the current members would like to speak about the applicants. School board representative to the budget committee, Steve Miller, chose to speak on behalf

of DeCoff, stating, “He stands qualified before this committee if he serves.” McLeod read Hershey’s resume into the record before inviting Fuller, the only applicant present, to address the committee regarding his interest. Fuller stated he had previously served on the committee for 20 years, starting in the 1980s. “I’ve got common sense. The law is the law,” stated Fuller about SEE BUDGET, PAGE A10

ALTON — On July 11, at 9:18 p.m., Alton Police Department officers responded to 85 Larry Drive for a reported stabbing. Sgt. Dennis Orbino, Officer Scott Corbett and Officer Adam Painchaud arrived on scene and made contact with the owner of the residence, Teri Marquis, 51, of Alton. Upon contact officers observed that Marquis was covered in blood and missing her front tooth. She displayed signs of extreme intoxication and provided the officers with several unsupported claims as to what had occurred. While trying to ascertain who was hurt and what had occurred, a male subject exited the residence, also covered in blood. The man was identified as Mark Riordan, 55, also of Alton. Riordan had sustained a stab wound to left arm, causing substantial bleeding that could not be stopped. Officer Painchaud and Officer Corbett rendered aid and applied a tourniquet to his arm to stop the bleeding. During the course of the investigation, it was determined that both parties had been drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana during the day. Later in the evening a verbal argument ensued inside the residence. Marquis lunged at Riordan with a large kitchen knife, striking him in the left arm, causing him to bleed uncontrollably. As Riordan attempted to call 911 for help, Marquis lunged at him again with the knife. Riordan struck Marquis in the mouth and was able to disarm her. Investigating officers

Also discovered, was a 13-inch serrated kitchen knife with a bent blade and visible signs of blood. There were signs of a serious struggle in the home and a bloody phone dislodged and stretched across the living room. Investigators felt the evidence found supported Riordan’s accounts of what had occurred. Riordan was transported to Huggins Hospital by ambulance, where he was treated for his injuries. Marquis was also transported to Huggins Hospital by Alton officers for a medical evaluation. Marquis was arrested and charged with first degree assault, domestic violence, obstructing report of crime or injury, possession of a controlled drug and possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute. She was held at the Belknap County House of Corrections on a $25,000 cash bail. At her arraignment on Monday morning, the court reduced her bail to $7,500 cash.

Police arrest Alton man in drug bust lleged explosive device discovered in Barnstead

ALTON — Over the last year, the Alton Police Department has received tips of illegal drug activity at 9 Depot St., Apt. 1. Officers initiated an investigation based on the tips and began observing the activity outside the building. Several subjects were seen entering and exiting the apartment, daily. The time the subjects spent inside the residence was very short in duration, only a few minutes. This type of activity is often consistent with street level drug sales. During the investigation, Sgt. Dennis Orbino developed informants who assisted in the drug investigation. As a result of the information gathered, Sgt. Orbino was able to organize two separate controlled drug buys of marijuana from the apartment. The sus-

pect identified as selling the drugs was 20-yearold Stephen Simpson of 9 Depot St., Apt. 1, Alton. On July 2, a search warrant and arrest warrant were executed at Simpson’s apartment. He was arrested and charged with two counts of sale of a controlled drug and two counts of possession of a controlled drug with the intent to distribute. A search of the apartment revealed a large quantity

of marijuana in a glass jar and other individually wrapped baggies of marijuana. In addition to the marijuana, a large amount of drug paraphernalia was seized. Officers also found other items that assisted in the distribution, such as a digital scale and packaging material. The Alton Police Department is pleased that this investigation resulted in the arrest of a dealer who was oper-

ating out of the center of town near the elementary school. Marijuana is considered an entry level or “gateway” drug that usually leads to the use of more serious drugs. This investigation revealed a large list of young buyers and a few larger level suppliers in the surrounding area. The Alton Police Department is committed to keeping the community safe and free of drugs.

BARNSTEAD — Barnstead Police Chief Joseph G. McDowell reports that on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 14, a resident notified the police department that he had located a suspicious device at a vacant residence and believed the device to be a grenade.

Daylily festival is this weekend NEW DURHAM — “Thousands of daylily blossoms every day and folks think we are closed,” said Les Turner. “Merrymeeting Gardens on Route 11 is closed but, Merrymeeting Daylilies on Tash Road is alive and well. Also it does not help that Route 11 drivers see a sign for Merrymeeting Daylilies, which points at a vacant lot.” “In fact,” says Turner, “we have expanded our daylily choices. We added new selections last year and this year we added another 80 new varieties, which will be ready for next year. Also I have added the convenience of potted daylilies for immediate grab and go.” During the upcoming festival (July 23 to 26, see the related ad) a free lily or daylily division will be offered to every family. They will also have visits with Colossal Chaucer, the giant dog. Even free cold drinks. And they will also have under the big tent

members of the New Durham Girl Scouts available to take orders for their very special daylily sale. The troop is taking orders on a special selection of daylily divisions to be delivered or picked up Aug 8. One hundred percent of the proceeds of the sale will be donated to the troops.

On June 23, Winnipisaukee Lodge #75 in Alton was witness to an event that does not occur very often. Wor. John Alden (center), while presiding over the Lodge as Master, had the pleasure of Raising his son Jonathon to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. Pictured are all the officers of the Lodge, with Bro. Jonathon Alden on his father's right, and Bro. Justin Webb on the Master's left, who was also Raised the same evening. Jonathon can now refer to his father as "my Brother, my Dad."

Chief McDowell met with the citizen making the report and the device was later placed in a safer location on police department property, but away from any area that could have been impacted. The Barnstead Fire Department, the Barnstead Emergency Management Director and the New Hampshire State Police Bomb Squad were all notified. Following the arrival of the bomb squad technician, the device was deemed to be a Romanian-made WWII-era hand grenade that had been disabled at some point in time. This not being immediately known, the NH State Police Bomb Squad x-rayed the grenade and determined that it was no longer a dangerous item. There was no impact on the traffic on Route 126 and area residents were safe at all times. Chief McDowell said he appreciates the efforts of the reporting citizen for alerting the police and emergency services.

SECTION A, PAGE 4

Off and running On the front page of this week’s paper, we have a story about a meet and greet the Alton School District held last week to allow the public to meet with new administrators. There has been a lot of debate about the positions of superintendent of the Alton School District and principal of Alton Central School. Now that individuals have been hired to fill those positions, we hope that members of the public give them the benefit of the doubt as they begin their new jobs. Maureen Ward has been hired as the new superintendent, replacing Bill Lander, and Cris Blackstone has come on board as the new principal, replacing Associate Principal Linda Wilman. We believe that these new employees deserve a chance to prove themselves to the residents of Alton. Often times, when there is a hiring of a prominent position, there can be a lot of disagreement in the community for whatever reason. Of course, everyone has a right to speak their mind, but there should also be a chance for these employees to show what they can do and what they are capable of. We are more familiar with Blackstone, due to her time in Alton, including as a selectman, but judging by their qualifications and previous positions, the Alton School Board made some solid choices in filling these important positions. The Alton Central School has been in a period of transition over the last few years, particularly with the construction of the new portions of the school going on. The district has managed to sell the modulars that have taken up valuable space on the school property and they will be removed. School board member Steve Miller reported to the board that the classroom wing and the administration wing being constructed on the Alton Central site, are “essentially finished,” and that school would be able to open on time. With a new superintendent, principal and assistant principal in addition to the conclusion of the big construction project, there will be plenty of change when students return to school later this summer. We hope that this time of transition goes smoothly and we wish nothing but the best for the incoming administrators who will be guiding the education of the town’s children moving forward. We don’t know if we’ll agree with everything that the new administration brings forward, just like we didn’t always agree with what the previous administrators brought to the table, but we believe they have the qualifications to make decisions in the name of the Alton community. We welcome all of these new administrators to Alton Central School and hope that they enjoy the community that we have come to appreciate over the last 10 years. We hope the community shows them support in their new positions and we appreciate the school board’s work in bringing in qualified applicants for these very important jobs. Nothing will be perfect, that’s a guarantee, but the future of Alton Central School looks bright in many respects and that’s a positive for the students.

Meet and greet

Residents had the chance to meet many of the new Alton School District employees at a meet and greet last Monday night, July 13. Among those in attendance were the district’s new superintendent and the new Alton Central School principal. See the story on page A1.

Letters to the Editor n

New Durham run on emotions? To the Editor: After reading the Baysider’s article concerning the July 6 selectmen’s meeting, I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Basically, there are obviously two selectmen trying to make decisions based on rational data and be cost effective in their decisions and one who has no clue as to what’s really necessary to provide essential services and has no concern for operating cost. Let me now substantiate my claim based on town comparisons I made last year: The road agent proportably (sic) wants seven full time employees to maintain approximately 50 miles of road at an annual cost of approximately $17,000/ mile. Gilmanton has only four full time employees and 70 miles of road at an annual cost of less than $10,000/mile because they contract winter plowing. Strafford has no employees and contracts out all road maintenance with an annual cost of just over $7,000/mile. The police chief wants to continue with five full time police. That’s a ratio of more than one policeman per 500 residents. Gilmanton and Strafford

have one for approximately 800 residents. When you consider five is adequate in the summer in New Durham, when the town’s population doubles because of the lakes increases, why not use part time police in the summer, and reduce to three full time year round? It makes no sense to “level load” based on summer population needs. We could easily drop our tax rate by one half, and still provide essential services to the residents of New Durham. Comparing the three towns’ tax rate in 2013, New Durham was $6.19/thousand, Gilmanton $4.97/thousand and Strafford $2.21/thousand. If these towns can achieve these lower tax rates, we should be able to do the same. All we need are department heads that want to work cost effectively and not just protect the status quo. The small minority disrupting selectmen meetings is doing a great disservice to the majority of us that want the town run with taxpayers in mind and not their own self-interest. Tony Bonanno New Durham

Exemplary reporting on Rep. Guinta meeting To the Editor: Last week’s Baysider published my letter “Lauding [Alton School Board member] Steve Miller.” This week I wish to laud your contributing writer Mark Foynes. His front page write-up “Light turnout for Rep. Guinta’s town hall meeting” was an exemplary piece of reporting. Everything of significance that occurred at the meeting was accurately reported, along with a sense of the milieu in which the interactions occurred. I especially valued the conclusion where future Democrat contender Shawn O’Connor chased the congressman out of the room waving 4,000 signatures calling for his resignation and then a description of the following news confer-

ence, which O’Connor conducted. My spouse, MaryBee, and I filmed the event. Unfortunately I was not perceptive enough to follow O’Connor out the door with my camera and capture his remarks that WMUR excerpted on their newscast that evening. That’s where the real news happened. For those who were not present and desire to see for themselves the main part of the meeting, there is a DVD available for check-out at the Gilman Library in Alton. LRPA-TV is also showing it both on their Metrocast cable channel and streaming over their Internet outlet. Bob Longabaugh Alton Bay

This business not needed in Barnstead To the Editor: Does Barnstead need a dollar store? It’s a simple question and one that has many residents concerned. I count myself among them. Barnstead has always had a rural flavor; a character reminiscent of bygone times. This heritage has been repeatedly expressed in town meetings. Language to that effect has been added to Barnstead’s Master Plan, with the input of our community. Adding a dollar store on Route 28 will bring no value to Barnstead. These types of businesses are unsightly, adding traffic to an already congested area. We have accidents in that area now. Can you imagine the problems we will have with the addition of this store?

In my personal opinion, adding this type of business does nothing to enhance Barnstead, our tax revenues, our community, or our rural character. What it does bring is more traffic, more possible accidents, an unsightly building, and the beginnings of additional businesses just like it. We have seen what happens in town after town in New Hampshire once that starts. Will that happen to our town? If you are of like mind, please go to Change.org and look up “We Say No To Dollar General” petition. Have the courage of your convictions and sign it. Pass it along to your friends and family too. Thank you. Don Walker Barnstead

DECA students helped make wedding memorable To the Editor: On Saturday, June 13, we had the pleasure of having a number of Kingswood High School students who are members of DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) assist with our wedding. The students helped with food service, table clearing and kitchen clean-up. At all times they were pro-

fessional, courteous and industrious. Kudos to the students and their advisors, teacher Mark Montros and Student Service Coordinator at Lakes Regional Technical Center Mike Roush. You truly helped make our wedding a memorable occasion. Chris and Emily (Denby) Lewis Bristol, Conn.

Leadership needed in search for Israeli-Arab peace To the Editor: Regarding the LTE of July 16 titled “The worst choices of GOP candidates remain.” (Matt Stanley). The writer provides his frequent condemnation of Israel, stating that they are in contempt of peace. He never mentions that since 2001 over 15,200 rockets have been indiscriminately fired into Israel from Gaza. Or that of the billions in aid given to Gaza, a portion of it was used to build 22 long tunnels from Gaza to Israel for radical Palestinians hell bent on destroying Israel and annihilating the Jews. The Palestinian leadership took the billions of dollars intended for jobs, real estate development and economic growth and spent it on building rockets and terror tunnels for the purpose of attacking Israeli citizens, the tunnels serving no useful purpose to the citizens of Gaza. The 1978 Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt provided for Palestinian autonomy in the territories of the West Bank and Gaza. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat begged the PLO and Yasser Arafat to accept what he had negotiated with Israel, and to engage in talks with Israel. President Carter also called on moderate Palestinians to come forward and join the Cairo conference. Unfortunately Arafat refused and did everything he could to undermine Sadat and the Camp David Accords, with PLO gunmen even murdering West Bank Palestinians who supported Sadat's approach. Mahmoud Abbas was presented a comprehensive peace plan by then Israeli President Ehud Olmert, which would have annexed the major Israe-

li settlements to Israel and in return given equivalent Israeli territory to the Palestinians, and would have divided Jerusalem. The plan was rejected by Abbas. In 2005 Israel gave Gaza back. Israel dismantled every settlement, withdrew every soldier, removed every tank and evicted every Jew from Gaza. Israel left the Palestinians with a flourishing agricultural industry: Fully developed farms, prosperous greenhouses, etc. Israel gave Gaza billions of dollars for economic development and job training. They opened the borders between Gaza and Israel and encouraged free trade, shared tourism and open travel. What did Gaza and the Palestinian people do when Israel extended this olive branch for peace? They burned the greenhouses to the ground and destroyed the farms. They renewed terrorist attacks and elected Hamas. The simple fact is that the Palestinians are not willing to accept Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people. The fundamental fact remains that had the Arabs and the Palestinians accepted the Partition Resolution (#181 passed in Nov. of 1947) and not violated the UN Charter by attacking Israel, there would be a 68-year-old Palestinian state today next to Israel, and there would not be a single Palestinian refugee. Instead of condemning the Israelis or Palestinians, our politicians including President Obama should provide leadership much like President Carter did and find a way to Arab/Israeli peace.

ALTON — Author, artist and entrepreneur DJ Geribo of Alton has been very busy. With one book released last year, The House at the Top of the Trees, Geribo's goal was to complete two more books before the end of 2015. And she's done it. One of the books, Eddie Easel and the Case of the Missing Green, is a story any child will love. It features characters such as Paula Paintbrush and Pam Palette. Illustrated in watercolors by DJ, the book is a child's first introduction to a variety of painting and drawing characters to help them learn the basics of creating a painting while also trying to figure out the mystery of the missing green. The second book, The Miracle Dog, was originally planned to be Geribo's first book. But reliving the stress of what she and her Pomeranian went through a few years ago when Kameko contracted an often fatal illness called IMHA (Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia), Geribo put it off until she decided she had to share the story

Boeing-Boeing opens this weekend at Village Players WOLFEBORO — The final bit of work on the set has been completed. The costumes are picked, tailored and ready to go. The lights are set in place and adjusted. And the cast and crew are at the ready. Now, it’s just waiting on an audience. The Village Players summer production Boeing-Boeing will hit the stage this weekend, bringing with it plenty of laughs as architect Bernard tries to juggle his three flight attendance girlfriends in 1960s Paris. Written by Marc Camoletti, the show focuses on Bernard, who has worked out quite an impressive schedule so that his three girlfriends will never meet. All three work for different airlines and are always in different cities at different times and unaware of each other. However, things all take a big turn when Boeing introduces a fast-

er jet and Bernard finds himself in the awkward situation of having all three ladies in Paris with him at the same time. Helping Bernard to keep all this straight over the years is his maid Berthe, who doesn’t necessarily like her employer’s arrangement, but helps him keep things running smoothly anyway. Bernard’s American friend Robert comes to pay a visit and is stunned to see the intricate web his friend has weaved. And soon, he too gets wrapped up in the many layers of romance. Those audience members familiar with the Village Players will recognize many of the faces on the stage for this production, as well as the names in the program leading the way. Russ Ellis, who has been both on stage and off in numerous capacities over the years, is directing this show, with the help of his brother, Pete, who also helped direct Unnecessary Farce. Bob Tuttle, who has also served in numerous backstage roles and been on stage many times, is the show’s producer. On the stage, Bernard is played by Rick Tessari and his friend is played by Danny Catalano, both veterans of

many Village Players shows. The three flight attendants who should never meet, but somehow all find themselves involved with Bernard, are played by theater veterans Toni Dingley, Lisa Penny and Victoria Neal. The lone newcomer to the stage is Jen Smith, who will be portraying Berthe. The set crew was led by Village Players veteran Jay Sydow, while Matt Johnson will man the light and sound booth and Joshua Spaulding will serve as stage manager. Sandra Ellis will be the house manager. Tickets for the show are available online at village-players.com or at Black’s Paper and Gifts in downtown Wolfeboro. The show will take place on Friday, July 24, Saturday, July 25, Friday, July 31, and Saturday, Aug. 1, all at 8 p.m. and will wrap up with a matinee 2 p.m. performance on Sunday, Aug. 2. The Village Players are reminding patrons that require handicap access that the theater is no longer allowed to use the regular handicapped parking lot. Patrons who need the use of the ramp can be dropped off and will be assisted to the ramp. Follow the signs. Boeing-Boeing is sponsored in part by Bruce and Kris Gurall.

Obituary n

Janet Lois Waldron Enjoyed following family’s activities WOLFEBORO — Janet Lois Waldron, age 80, passed away peacefully on July 12, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Janet was born on Feb. 21, 1935 in Callicoon, N.Y. to Audley I. and Ruth A. Dorrer. She graduated from Delaware Valley Central School in 1952 and earned her Bachelor’s degree from Russell Sage College in 1956. After college she was recruited into the management training program at Filene’s Department Store in Boston. While living in Boston, Janet met her future husband, Robert Waldron. The two married in 1957 and moved to Presque Isle, Maine in 1958 for Bob to pursue a career as a trust officer in the banking industry. The family remained in Presque Isle for nearly 30 years, and it was there that they raised their four children, Roger, James, Scott and Barbara. Janet volunteered in many capacities while living in Presque Isle. She was active in the local chapter of the American Association of University Women, the Garden Club, was a Cub Scout troop leader and taught Sunday School at the Presque Isle Congregational Church. Her greatest joys in life came from watching

her children pursue their dreams. She particularly enjoyed following her three sons as they played basketball in seemingly every school gymnasium in Aroostook County and Eastern Maine starting when Roger was in sixth grade and ending with Scott’s high school graduation in 1982. The state basketball tournament season in March was a particularly special time for her. One of her fondest memories was watching son James and his team win the Eastern Maine Class A Championship in 1979. In the summer she supported Barbara as she rode and showed horses. In 1987, Jan and Bob moved to New Hampshire, first settling in Merrimack before landing in Wolfeboro in 1989. Life in Wolfeboro revolved around watching her grandchildren in their various activities, sharing books with friends in her book club,

and traveling to UNH each fall to watch the Wildcat football team. Janet leaves behind her husband, Bob; son Roger and his wife Pamela and children Kaitlin, Gregory and RJ of Vienna, Va.; son James and his partner Jennifer Turner Chaundy and children Turner and Hunter Chaundy of Gilford and Solomons, Md.; son Scott and his partner Donna DeSalle of Buxton, Maine; and daughter Barbara and her husband William Barton and children Emily and Sam of Tuftonboro. She will be dearly missed. Funeral services will be held on Monday, July 27, at 11 a.m. at the First Congregational Church of Wolfeboro. The Baker-Gagne Funeral Home and Cremation Service of Wolfeboro is assisting the family with the arrangements. Donations in her memory may be made to The Alzheimer’s Association to support research to find a cure for this terrible disease; or to your local Humane Society, as Janet was a lover of all animals, particularly cats.

St. Katharine Drexel celebrating 10 years ALTON — A mass celebrated by Bishop Peter Libasci, the Blessing by the Bishop of the outdoor Stations of the Cross, a reception, and a concert by the Clearlakes Chorale and Saint Katharine Drexel Choir will mark the 10th anniversary of the dedication of Saint Katharine Drexel Parish’s church building, an event that united thousands of Roman Catholics in the Eastern Lakes Region. Ten years ago the dedication of Saint Katharine Drexel

FOR DETAILS

Church on Route 28 in Alton marked the culmination of an arduous process of joining two older parishes, Saint Cecilia in Wolfeboro and Saint Joan of Arc in Alton, following the fire that destroyed the Alton church building. The location midway between the two original churches was symbolical as well as practical, locating the new house of worship in the middle of an Eastern Lakes Region parish that united Alton, Alton Bay, Barnstead, Center Barnstead, Gilmanton Iron Works, Melvin Village, Mirror Lake, New Durham, Tuftonboro, Wolfeboro and Wolfeboro Falls. All in all, the new parish would serve almost 3,000 local residents and summer visitors each year.

The anniversary celebration will begin with a 4 p.m. Mass celebrated by the Bishop Peter Libasci, who will lead a procession immediately after Mass to bless the new outdoor Stations of the Cross installation. A reception will follow the religious ceremonies. At 7:30 p.m. the Clearlakes Chorale and Saint Katharine Drexel Choir will together present a concert that includes the first-ever performance of “The Saint Katharine Drexel Gloria,” an original work commissioned for the event and composed by Andy Campbell, the Yale-educated director of the chorale and the director of music at both Brewster Academy and the First Congregational Church.

Help feed families this Sunday

“Capital Conversations” airing this weekend

REGION — Churches may differ in doctrine, but one thing that the faithful (and the not-sofaithful) can agree upon is their responsibility to feed the hungry among their neighbors. For this reason, seven churches in the region came together to establish the Wolfeboro Food Pantry, housed at All Saints’ Episcopal Church and operated by volunteers of the L.I.F.E. Ministries. The food pantry provides high-quality food for almost 14,000 meals a month to more than 1,400 clients, a third of whom are infants and children and a fifth of whom are

elderly. Clients are local, from communities throughout the Eastern Lakes Region, and include many working families whose income is not sufficient to cover all of life’s basic necessities. Unlike some seasonal or age-related programs, every week all year long the food pantry feeds whole families and individuals, distributing food donated by markets or purchased for pennies on the dollar from the Food Bank in Manchester. Funds for food purchases come from friends and residents of local towns concerned about the well-being of their neigh-

bors. This Sunday, July 26, the food pantry will collect funds for feeding families in area churches and markets. Unpaid volunteers collect, sort, and on Wednesdays distribute the food to keep overhead costs extremely low. Churchgoers at catholic and protestant churches from Alton to Tuftonboro should listen on Sunday for the ways in which they can contribute. Shoppers should look for the food pantry jars in area markets. More information is available online at lifeministriesfoodpantry.org or at 569-0202.

NEW DURHAM — “Capital Conversations” is a Wolfeboro Public Television cable access show that has been airing since 2011. The program provides a forum for local state political representatives to address the issues. The show is hosted by Denis Martin, who has been involved in access television since 1985. The program can be viewed on Metrocast channels 24 and 25. Ryan Noonan is Executive Director of WCTV and Executive Producer of “Capital Conversations.” Guests this week are the two State Represen-

LYME

something we’ve all had at least once in our lives if a mosquito bit us or we brushed up against a plant our skin didn’t like. His physician prescribed a salve. A week later, when he couldn’t walk, he received the correct diagnosis, dutifully swallowed his doxy, and is fine. Not necessarily true for anyone whose diagnosis comes much later, after the disease has had a chance to engulf its host’s entire body. The bacteria can spread, and weeks or months later, patients may develop joint, heart, or nervous system problems. Some patients can be on antibiotics for years. Luckily, physicians are more aware of Lyme than they were in the past, and are aggressive with their treatments, especially in the Northeast where ticks are common. I was spared feeling like I was dying, which many people experience with Lyme. My rash, however, went to the head of the class. “That’s the most horrific reaction I’ve seen,” exclaimed my doctor. On occasion, the rash can blister and mine did

so in spades. The rings continued to multiply, the blisters got bigger, the pain got worse, and my bull’s-eye turned fiery red. It’s worth noting that the rash rarely troubles most victims. Antibiotics devastate gut flora, (which is why you should take probiotics in conjunction), but they also work great against infection. As I steadily improved, there was lots of Technocolor tissue death, but the pain and swelling decreased. An herbalist suggested applying local, raw honey to the blistering area. I knew of a New Durham resident who received honey treatments at a local hospital, so I was keen to try it. I felt good about this natural remedy as I spread the sticky stuff over the pad, although it seemed more like I was making a sandwich than tending a wound. The next day, the rings had faded remarkably. Despite my fear of being swarmed by ants, I’ve continued using the honey. Due to the chance of co-infections, since who knows what other brews my tick had stirring in-

side it, I’ve been taking some herbal extracts recommended by a medical agency that studies Lyme. Since I did nothing to prevent the disease, I might as well launch an all-out war against it. Prevention is the best route. Any preventive measures people take provide worthwhile benefits. So promise yourself to do all the stuff the experts tell you to – avoid tick habitats such as leaf litter, grasses, bushes and fallen logs. Be vigilant when gathering firewood or leaning against tree trunks. Cover up where you can and wear light-colored clothing, tie back long hair and wear a hat.

(continued from Page A1)

not have finally arrived at the ER, wracked with fever and unable to put weight on her leg (okay, okay, it was me). In some respects, I wasn’t the best candidate for Lyme. I hadn’t been tramping through fields of tall grass when those pesky deer tick nymphs are most active, May through July. Nor did I sit on grass anywhere. But I also didn’t follow any of the procedures I know I should have. Yes, we’re all busy and constantly rushed, but if you go on a hike, even on a well-groomed trail, you’re supposed to check yourself for ticks. Did I? Apparently not. Skin inspections during showers can be completed quickly. But did I do them? Apparently not. Allowing pets to sleep on the bed with you during active tick season is a no-no. Guess what? So I was foolish when it came to Lyme prevention, but in fairness, my infected nymph, even engorged, was probably about the size of a sesame seed. I never noticed it, but the rash alerted me to the danger. Having detected the disease quickly, I should be fine after a three-week course of the antibiotic doxycycline. Those of us in “the club” refer to it fondly as “doxy.” I have a friend who did notice her tick; she drove right to a medical facility and received a preventive dose. If administered 72 hours after a bite, the one dose is effective. And just a few days after I was diagnosed, a friend’s daughter discovered a tick behind her ear, surrounded by a rash. For children under the age of 8, treatment is not as straight-forward. Kids can’t take doxycycline, so their doctors may have to play around with medications. Amoxicillin is generally preferred. Sporting an expanding target on your body or having a tick in situ gives you an advantage of sorts; clinically, doctors can assume Lyme and treat it. But the problem is, not everyone gets a distinctive rash, or a rash at all. That’s what makes this disease so insidious; most people are unaware they have it. Left untreated, it can prove devastating. One New Durham gentleman had a reddish area that looked like

STATE REP. KURT WUELPER, State Rep. David Bickford and host Denis Martin (l to r) on “Capital Conversations.” tatives from Strafford County District 3 (New Durham and Strafford), David Bickford and Kurt Wuelper. Property tax relief, state budget impasse and the Governor’s veto of the concealed weapon legislation provide the basis for commentary. New Hampshire’s 2016

first in the nation primary election is also discussed, “Capital Conversations “ airs on Wolfeboro Community Television on Friday, July 24, at 8 p.m., Saturday, July 25, at 3 a.m., 9 a.m., 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday, July 26, at 3 a.m.

Clothing that has been pre-treated with the repellent permethrin offers protection through 70 washings. You can pick up some permethrin yourself and spray your clothes. Treating your footwear with it is a smart idea because it prevents ticks from crawling up your shoes. Spray yourself while you’re at it. If you want to avoid DEET, picaridin and lemon eucalyptus oil are also effective and widely available. Don’t wait until you come inside to check yourself. Periodically check your clothing and skin while outside. We’d all rather brush off a tick,

than remove one. Once inside, take a shower right away to wash away unattached stowaways. Remember, you are looking for something very, very tiny. Put up a sign in your shower to remind you to do a tick check. Consult your veterinarian about tick-protection for your pets, because that could translate into protection for you. And if you suspect a problem, get to a doctor immediately, even if you’re on your way to bed or have a fully-planned day. The rash was the last thing I wanted to see, but I sure am grateful I saw

how he approached budget committee decisions. Fuller went on to describe the many positions he has held on the committee, “I was chair, vice-chair and even secretary once.” Budget committee member Roger Nelson stated he was not present for Fuller’s tenure and questioned what it is that Fuller hopes to accomplish this time on the committee.

students. She noted the new administration has a lot of work ahead of them, but she hoped for healing, particularly among the faculty. Former ACS principal and Alton resident Linda Wilman also spoke during public input. Wilman stated she sent an e-mail to the school board, which she heard from a board member was “pathetic.” In an effort to hold the board to its desire to be transparent, Wilman said she would address the concerns stated in her e-mail in public input. However, Wilman was quickly stopped by Argiropolis, as the topic became about personnel issues. Argiropolis offered Wilman the chance to schedule a non-public meeting with the board to discuss those concerns. Wilman agreed and

“I have time on my hands,” replied Fuller, “If people complain and are not involved, then shame on them.” Miller motioned for the committee to approve Fuller fill one of the two vacancies. Terence O’Rourke seconded the motion and McLeod voted in the affirmative, but Nelson stated he would like the opportunity to speak with all three candidates before making a decision and in further discussion, highlighted the fact that the open-

continued questioning why the school board rejected committee recommendations and hired outside of those recommendations. “I hear lists of targeted people are being handed out to the new administration,” stated Wilman saying if it was true then this was “shameful” and “retaliatory” and, furthermore, “could cause legal issues.” She cautioned the board that if they knew this to be true, they should “fix it.” “Our teachers need to know they are supported for their hard work and excellence,” said Wilman. Joan Cross, the president of the Alton Teachers’ Association, also spoke briefly during public input, saying the teachers are ready to get to work. Cross noted the teachers are very “tech savvy” and the students at ACS are “awesome students to work with.” She stated the teachers look forward to

The committee also briefly discussed the non-profits, which are put on Alton’s warrant article every year. McLeod stated he would like these non-profits to bring the previous year’s audit when asking for town money so the committee may see where the money is being spent. Nelson stated he felt it was objectionable to tax residents a third time in an effort to support these organizations when their federal and state taxes were already

McLeod rescinded his vote, stating it is “always my intention to move things along,” but this time he “spoke out of turn” since he did not notice the conflict with the Aug. 1 date. McLeod apologized to Fuller and asked for his understanding, which Fuller readily agreed with saying he would have voted the same way had he been on the committee at this time.

Nelson stated he was aware of that fact, but Miller went on defending the non-profits and explaining what a small percent of local tax money goes to them. Nelson said the size of the money going to the non-profits was “irrelevant,” the point was taxing the same people three times for the same services. Miller, however, argued there were families within the community

and there are some modulars still on site, but they have been sold and are waiting on pick up. “Somebody’s paid for those modulars, we’re thrilled to death,” said Miller. In other business the school board unanimously agreed to have the New Hampshire School Board Association review the district policy manual at a cost of $1,200. Ward suggested the district use NHSBA to review the entire policy and make sure it is up to date with current law. School board member Sandy Wyatt liked the idea, stating it was a better option than Ward spending hours reviewing them only to also have an attorney do the same. The school board mentioned there was an auction scheduled to fund the ACS eighth grade trip to Washington, DC on July 18 at PMHS. Ward stated that while this trip is not officially sanctioned by the school yet, she thinks it will be a great trip the students will remember and talk about forever. The next regularly scheduled ACS school board meeting will be on Aug. 10 at 5 p.m. with the location to be determined due to construction work.

ing’s western scene, the clouds or mist or will ‘o the wisps moving up or down the mountain or staying still, thus pretty much indicating the day’s weather. Three things, both ethereal and real: ---When I first heard the children’s song “The Bear Went Over the Mountain” (to see what he could see), I was sure it was about Monadnock, our Monadnock, and thus grew up wondering what was on the other side. I carried this thought into adulthood, until I could fly over it in a friend’s Piper Cub and find out. Answer: Lots and lots of woods, punctuated by a camp here and there. And as a matter of fact, plenty of bears beneath the trees. Just ask the camp owners. ---For many years, right through my growing-up years in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Vermont maintained a fire lookout tower on Monadnock’s summit, the latest solid steel version of which still stands, as do the foundation and stone chim-

ney of the lookout’s cabin nearby. Many area residents and visitors thought it great fun to head up the trail to visit with the tower watchman, who seemed to savor the break in monotony. Various members of the Keach family, in particular, became famed for scampering up with one of Margaret’s fresh pies. ---There was a gold mine about halfway up the mountain on the east side, the remains of which, and surrounding cliffs, could be seen from town. I can still see the spot (elevation 1,500) from my house (1553). Ed Norton, a local character and entrepreneur, began the mine in the 1800s, just after the Civil War, but eventually quit because of what locals were told was unprofitable low-grade ore. It’s worth noting, however, that the spot is known among geologists for its pyrite---“fool’s gold.”

Along with several other Colebrook-area people, I was invited to be at the Tillotson Center for the Arts this week to tape two or three favorite personal stories or themes for New Hampshire Public Television’s upcoming “Our Home Town” special, which will air in November. Last I knew, upwards of a dozen people had been asked to participate. Since the show will run for only half an hour, you can imagine that the editing will be fierce. The good side of all this is that what doesn’t make the television production will be put up on the station’s web site. But how to pick my two or three favorite stories and/or experiences? Carla Gordon Russell, the show’s producer, wanted “visuals,” as they say in TV. Hmmm. Mount Monadnock instantly came to mind, placebased, landscape-driven soul that I am. And I’m talking about Vermont’s Monadnock, directly across the Connecticut in Vermont, not that downtrodden, over-trammeled, Thoreau-revered mountain in New Hampshire’s southwest. What we always hastily refer to as “No no — our Monadnock, the one just across the Connecticut River from Colebrook” is either elevation 3150, 3148, or 3146, depending on which

reference you pick. According to the vaunted Dr. Herbert Gifford, a longtime Colebrook physician who was also an amateur geologist, rockhound and historian of well-earned renown, Monadnock is part of a chain of eight glacier-worn volcanoes stretching from Mount Royal (Montreal) to Monadnock to Mount Ascutney and beyond, all of which emerged along a massive fault in the earth’s crust. Our Monadnock consists largely of quartz syenite, and Dr. Gifford, in his book Colebrook “A Place up back of New Hampshire,” notes that that boulders of Monadnock’s syenite have been found in the Littleton area, 54 roadmiles downriver, carried or pushed there by glaciers. Monadnock has more or less dominated my life, in a good way. It is the first thing I look at in the morning, when I let the dog out, and often the last thing at the end of the day, when I sit on the porch at twilight to watch the bats and fireflies. There it is, its bulk dominating the morn-

Alton Junior Legion rallies for win over Contoocook BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

ALTON — All afternoon, it seemed the key hit wasn’t coming for the Morin Insurance Alton Junior Legion baseball team on July 16. But when it mattered most, the hits came and Alton walked away with a 5-4 win over Contoocook. “We made it interesting,” coach Gary Noyes said of the close score and rally by his team. “That team is better than what their record is. “We left some runners on and couldn’t get that one hit,” he added. Nate Reed got the start on the hill and surrendered three straight

hits to open the game. The third hit was compounded by an error, allowing both runners to score for a 2-0 lead for the visitors before an out was recorded. Reed did settle down and got the next three batters, including a strikeout, to get out of the inning. Drew Nickerson followed by leading off the bottom of the first with a base hit and he moved to second on a wild pitch. Jake Craigue moved him to third with a groundout to second, but Nickerson was stranded on third. Reed put the side down in order in the top of the second, including a pair of strikeouts and again Alton put runners

on base. With one out, Jay Warthen had a base hit and he took second on a wild pitch. Hunter Sanborn worked a walk and both batters moved up on a passed ball, putting two in scoring position. However, both runners were stranded. Contoocook used back-to-back doubles in the top of the third to plate another run, but a nice scoop by Dillon Barnes at first base and another strikeout for Reed got Alton out of the inning with no further trouble. Alton rallied in the bottom of the third, pulling even with the visi-

tors. Nickerson led off with a walk and a Craigue base hit and Sam Borelli infield hit loaded the bases. Reed grounded to short, allowing one run to score and Barnes reached on an error, plating the second run. Borelli came home on a wild pitch to pull Alton even at three. Warthen worked a walk to keep the inning going, though he was eliminated on a grounder to short by Sanborn. However, Alton was unable to get any more runs. Reed worked around a leadoff base hit in the top of the fourth inning, with Sanborn chipping

in with a great running catch in center. Reed struck out the final batter he faced, his sixth strikeout of the day. Max Gilpatrick led off the bottom of the fourth with a base hit and a Craigue infield hit put two runners on. Borelli

was hit by a pitch to load the bases, but Alton was unable to get the big hit and left the bases loaded. Borelli came on to pitch in the top of the fifth inning and a double and base hit drove in the go-ahead run for ContooSEE LEGION, PAGE B5

Kingswood knocked out of Babe Ruth tourney BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

ROCHESTER — The Kingswood Babe Ruth team had to face off with Dover for a second time in just four days in the district tournament on Monday, July 13. And unfortunately, the Kingswood team had to face the same pitcher that had shut them down well on Friday, July 10. In the end, while the game was much closer than the previous match,

the Kingswood boys came up short by a 7-3 score. “We got the short end of the straw,” coach Mike Danais said. “He’s beat us twice. I would’ve liked to have seen their next guy. “He’s got that 12-6 curveball that we could not pick up,” Danais continued. “We’ve hit pretty much everyone all year long, except that kid. He’s had our number.” Dover was able to

come away with a run in the first inning against Kingswood starter Jack Saunders, doing so without the benefit of a hit. Kingswood committed two errors in the inning to help Dover put the run on the board. Saunders, who pitched seven innings in the team’s win on Saturday afternoon, was able to get through the first inning without any more trouble. Kingswood went down in order in the first and Saunders got the side on three batters in the top of the second, despite a hit. Centerfielder Alec Hayford helped out by gunning down a runner trying to stretch a single into a double, with Dexter Hanson getting the tag on at second for the out to end the inning. Kingswood got its first base runner in the bottom of the second inning, as Nick Robischeau worked a one-out walk. He was forced on a grounder to short by Saunders, but Kingswood could not get on the board. Saunders got more help from his defense in the top of the third inning after giving up a two-out double. Catcher Sam Danais threw the Dover runner out stealing third to end the inning. Kingswood went in order in the bottom of the third and Dover was able to expand its lead in the top of the fourth inning. Four hits contributed to three more runs for the Dover squad and the lead increased to

4-0. The Kingswood boys were able to get one run back in the bottom of the fourth. With one out, both Danais and Hayford reached on errors and Danais came home on a wild pitch to cut the lead to 4-1. Saunders worked around a one-out base hit in the top of the fifth inning and then had Kingswood’s first hit of the game in the bottom of the fifth. He moved to second on a Matt Place groundout, but he was stranded at second. Saunders walked two batters in the sixth and a fielder’s choice loaded the bases before a double cleared them off to make it 7-1. Place made a great diving play at second base to help Kingswood get out of the inning. In the bottom of the sixth Kingswood was unable to get a runner on and Hanson took over on the mound in the top of the seventh. After giving up two hits to open the frame, catcher Bryton Clifford caught the lead runner stealing third with a strike throw to Robischeau. Clifford then picked off another runner off third to end the inning. Kingswood rallied in

the bottom of the seventh inning. Clifford and Hanson both reached on errors with one out and Robischeau worked a walk to load the bases. Saunders grounded to second, forcing Robischeau, but plating Clifford with Kingswood’s second run. A wild pitch allowed Hanson to race home to cut the lead to 7-3. However, that was as close as Kingswood could get. Danais was pleased with what Saunders gave his team on the hill after going the distance just two days earlier. “Jack gave us what he could,” Danais said. “The kids all did a good job.” He noted that he was pleased the team played better than it had in the previous game against Dover, but also noted that errors again played a role. The extra three runs Dover scored seemed to be the difference. “Giving up three in the sixth (was key),” Danais said. “We thought we could get to four, but we knew seven would be tough.” The Kingswood roster included Sam Danais, Alec Hayford, Bryton Clifford, Dexter Hanson, Nick Robischeau, Trevor Mills, Barry Adjutant, Korbin Tinker, Evan Deveau, Brian Winn, Matt Drew and Matt Place. The team is coached by Mike Danais, Brian Mills and Joel Hayford. Joshua Spaulding can be reached at 569-3126 or sportsgsn@salmonpress. com.

Knight search has begun Public invited to share opinions on new Kingswood athletics logo BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — One of Aaron House’s first goals in his new position as Kingswood Athletics Director was to get the Knight sports teams united under a single logo. As it stands now, many teams have created their own version of the Knight logo and House is determined to get the Knights more united. And he is also determined to get student-athletes and the Kingswood community as a whole involved in the project. On Wednesday, July 15, about a dozen Kingswood student-athletes spent a few hours in the

Kingswood lecture hall talking logo designs and what they were looking for. House put together a presentation that included many different logos involving Knights. Some were very recognizable (Army), while others were new to many of the kids present. Also included in the presentation of about 30 logos were a couple of different logos currently used by Knight teams, including the football team and boys’ lacrosse team. House asked the students to rate each of the logos on five different criteria, while emphasizing that they

shouldn’t look at the logos’ current colors, but rather just at how it looks. “We want it to be highly recognizable here in town,” House told the students. “We want our opponents to respect it and we want it to set a certain tone.” House, who has a background in marketing, discussed what a good logo might look like and also talked about logos that were lacking in numerous ways. “All these logos are good logos,” he said before showing the students the slides. “But everyone has a different flair to them.” He asked the students

to rate the logos basked on their distinctiveness, their useability, timelessness, effectiveness without color (for use on letterheads and such) and how memorable it was. He also pointed out that there were many different Knight options, ranging from traditional to new age. He also noted that while Kingswood colors are green and white, it might be OK to introduce a different shade of green, or some silver in the mix. And he said there was the option of forward-facing logos or side-facing logos. He then showed the students assembled the slides and they went

through them multiple times, with each student ranking each logo on a number scale for each of House’s five criteria. He then asked each student for his or her five favorites and three different logos received the most votes, while three others were just one vote behind. House was quick to point out that the logos the students picked would not be the logo used (some are under trademark), but instead, asked the students what they liked about each of the top vote-getters. The idea, he noted, was to get the idea of what people wanted to see in a logo and then

take the top choices and the ideas of what people were looking for to a graphic artist to come up with a good logo. House is also asking for the Kingswood community as a whole to express their opinion. He placed seven logo choices on the athletics department’s new web site and is asking people to come and check out the choices and vote on what they’d like to see in a new logo. The poll can be viewed at kingswoodhsathletics.org. Joshua Spaulding can be reached at 569-3126 or sportsgsn@salmonpress. com.

Busch bests Keselowski for Loudon victory BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

LOUDON — Bret Michaels, Adam Sandler, Rico Petrocelli, Rob Nincovich and Blake Shelton were among the celebrities in the house at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday for the 5 Hour Energy 301, but as it has been the last few weeks in the NASCAR circuit, the story was all about Kyle Busch during Sunday’s race. Busch won his second race in a row and third in four weeks for car owner Joe Gibbs, grabbing his second career victory on the Loudon track. The win moved Busch closer to the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Because he missed 11 races to start the season after suffering an injury, Busch is still outside of the top 30 in the point standings, but is within 58 points of the top 30. The top 30 in the point standings are eligible for the Chase and anyone in the top 30 who wins in the regular season can clinch a spot. “This is pretty special and not something we would have expected,” said Busch, who led 95 laps on the afternoon and becomes the 12th different winner in the last 12 races at NHMS. “We have had a perfect storm with fast race cars. Things are working in our favor, our team is

making adjustments and we are doing the right things at the right time.” Brad Keselowski, who finished third in the XFINITY Series race on Saturday at NHMS, picked up his second podium finish of the weekend, finishing in second behind Busch. Keselowski was also the defending champion for the Loudon July race. “He’s good, but we’re a pretty good team, too,” said Keselowski when asked about Busch’s hot streak. “We had really fast cars this weekend. That’s the backbone of performance, having fast cars. We were exceptionally fast this weekend.” Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano and Dale Earnhardt Jr. rounded out the top five for the day. Harvick finished in third place for the second time in a row and marked his fourth consecutive top 10 this season and his 13th top five of the season’s 19 races.

Logano, who picked up the win in Loudon in September and considers New Hampshire Motor Speedway his home track (he grew up in Connecticut), has now run to five top-five finishes in the last six races. Earnhardt Jr. recorded his third top 10 in his last four starts at the Loudon track. “I’m always like the third, fourth, fifth best car,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “That is frustrat-

ing, but at the same time, it must say something about my ability or my team’s ability.” Weather was a concern on the day, as the temperatures were in the 90s and thunder

storms were brewing across the area. Lightning was spotted behind turn three late in the race (though miles away) and the speedway released a weather advisory as the

race neared its completion, warning spectators of the pending inclement weather. The race did finish as scheduled at 301 laps, with Busch winning it under yellow.

Ralph, Found pace the Granite Kid field BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — For the first time that anyone on Brewster Beach on Saturday morning could remember, rain was part of the Granite Kid Triathlon. Luckily for all involved, the rain moved out of the area before the race actually began and the possible thunder and lightning that would’ve delayed or cancelled the race, never happened. When all was said and done, the top times in the six and over race went to Peyton Ralph, who won the 12-13 division for boys in 15:03.09 and Anya Found, who won the 14-16 age group for girls in 15:06. On the girls’ side of things, the 6-7 age group went to Morgan Weidner, who crossed in a time of 19:12, with Rose Conway in second place in 19:18. Sophie Knoll rounded out the top three with a time of 20:22. Bryanna Streeter was fourth in 20:49, Katherine Mugge was fifth in 21:11, Kate Conway was sixth in 22:07, Julia Conway was seventh in 22:59, Megan Paolo was eighth in 25:48, Audrey Willscher was ninth in 25:50, Josie Ellis was 10th in 27:25 and Claire Henriod finished in 11th in 28:49. In the 8-9 age group, Tessa Demain set the pace with a time of 15:33, with Elsa Pueschel finishing in 17:56 and Abigail Fleming finishing in third in 18:30. Hayden Maclellan was fourth in 18:40, Callie Maclellan was fifth in 19:21, followed by Talia Willscher in sixth in 19:52 and Phoebe Knoll in seventh in 20:00.

cook. Alton loaded the bases again in the bottom of the fifth, as Sanborn doubled, Christian Parenteau walked and Gilpatrick reached on an error, all with one out. However, the runners were all stranded and Alton went to the sixth trailing by one. Borelli struck out two in the top of the sixth, working around a leadoff walk and Alton was able to take its first lead of the game in the bottom of the inning. With one out, Reed doubled and stole third. Barnes delivered the tying run with a base hit and a Warthen base hit put runners on second and third. Sanborn followed by grounding to third, forcing Barnes, but Parenteau laced a double to right-center, plating Warthen with the go-ahead run. After Borelli walked the leadoff batter in the top of the seventh, Parenteau took over on the hill. Sanborn made a nice running grab in center for the first out and after a base hit, Parenteau got a foul pop to Warthen behind the plate and a strikeout to end the game. “I knew he would throw strikes,” Noyes said of bringing in Parenteau in the final inning. “And he’s a little quicker than Sam. “And that was a good play by Hunter to run that ball down,” the veteran coach added. He also praised Reed for hanging in after a tough first inning. “We’re one step closer,” Noyes said, noting the team is close to earning a playoff berth for the second year in a row. “That’s huge on Saturday. If a team wins two, they get third place.” The games Noyes was referencing were against Plymouth in Littleton. Alton and Plymouth are in a battle for the final two playoff spots. Alton dropped both

Some random thoughts as I recover from being just inches from the wall of New Hampshire Motor Speedway in a Toyota Camry hitting upwards of 100 mph. Regarding that, I have rode in the pace car at NHMS before, but I must say that this year was unlike the last time. Previously I was in a Toyota SUV and there was a concert setting up on the front stretch, so it wasn’t the total experience. This time, driver Chad Little really let loose and the tires were squealing going into the corners. It was quite impressive. This time I actually thought to record it on video on my camera. It was pretty awesome. I had to leave the NASCAR race a little early on Sunday because once again, I am involved in the Village Players summer production and our production week started on Sunday. Because of traffic concerns, I figured it was a smart move to leave early and head north to make it to rehearsal in time. Speaking of the summer production for the Village Players, Boeing-Boeing promises to be a good time with plenty of laughs. I will be the stage manager, so I will be out of sight and

out of mind, thankfully for everyone in the audience. The show runs this Friday and Saturday night and next Friday and Saturday night, as well as next Sunday, Aug. 2, at 2 p.m. Tickets are available online at village-players. com or at Black’s Paper and Gifts in downtown Wolfeboro. I will also be missing this Saturday’s Boeing-Boeing production because I am heading to Foxboro to see Taylor Swift in concert (thanks Katja Fox). I’ve seen Taylor before, also at Foxboro, but I am excited to see her once again. And being as the seats are more than 50 yards away, I am not violating any restraining orders going to the show. Baseball has always been my favorite sport, so I have really enjoyed covering the many Cal Ripken, Legion and Babe Ruth baseball games over the last few weeks. It was great to see the Suncook Valley 12U team win the state championship. I was hoping to see them in the New England regional tournament, but other tournaments were

going on and I wasn’t able to get to Dedham, Mass. I also enjoyed the softball tournament held at D&M Park in Plymouth over this past weekend. The Thundercats had a great tournament in both the 14U and 16U brackets and it was a lot of fun to see the girls competing against some of the top teams from around New England. As mentioned last week, it has been a busy few weekends, with the many tournaments, the NASCAR race and the Granite Kid Triathlon all on the docket, but I am well aware that there are worse things I could be doing for a living, so there are no complaints. Finally, have a great day Mark and Kelly Saunders.
