STEMspiration event offers local students a glimpse at careers in science & tech

During last week’s “STEMspiration” event at Winnisquam High School, freshmen Jordan Seavey (left) and Symphony Cote (right) enjoyed taking a turn at operating “The Double,” a new piece of computerized technology from Konica Minolta that allows people to virtually be in two places at once.

TILTON – Eighth and ninth grade students in the Winnisquam Region-al School District were invited to take part in a “STEMspiration” event last week, featuring women who have made their way successfully in the world of Science, Technology, Engineer-ing and Math, and more than 30 students took ad-vantage of the opportu-nity to learn more about careers they may be in-terested in pursuing one day.

Women who met with the students on Wednes-day came from a variety of fields. Among them were Lee Ames of Silver Tech, who introduced them to careers in Web Design.

“Web sites don’t just appear you know,” she told one group.

As she spoke of dif-ferent job opportunities with a company such as hers, she had them note skills and knowledge needed for positions

such as IT Administra-tion, Coding, Project Managers, and even sales.

“There’s a lot that goes on in my industry with a lot of skills in-volved,” said Ames.

Nearby Erin Bad-ger of a company called Tevora spoke about the interesting field of Cyber Security while Brandi Emerson of TIBCO not only explained what her software design compa-ny offers for careers but shared some personal thoughts as well.

“There are many op-portunities in the field of technology,” she told each group. “Explore and find out what makes your heart happy then go out and make it a ca-reer.”

Among the benefits of a job within a technolo-gy firm, she said, is the ability to work remotely from home. They typi-cally come with regular hours and have many needs for people in fi-nance and other skill sets that most wouldn’t

think of when searching for a job.

“As a mom, this works really well for me because I can stay at home if I need to, yet still get my work done,” said Emerson.

Christy Collins of Konica Minolta brought a hands-on development from her company for the students to explore. While Konica Minolta is known for printers and similar types of innova-

tion, the company has now expanded into more technology. That expan-sion includes “The Dou-ble,” a computer-operat-ed robot that is changing the way people work and live.

One use is that The Double can place hos-pitalized children back in the classroom as the slim device rolls through a classroom, changing angles and allowing the

BELMONT – Resi-dents who live in the vicinity of 9 Durrell Mountain Rd. in Bel-

result of a lengthy in-vestigation.

One Light’s “Annie” features actors and musicians ages five through 65 and a live seven-piece orchestra.

“These productions always take an army,” says Executive Direc-tor David Sheehy, who

plays radio personal-ity Bert Healy in the production, “and for-tunately, our commu-nity base continues to grow. Our show is well-cast and features a va-riety of talent in every regard.”

Sheehy went on to explain that the pro-duction is unique in that it features two dif-ferent castsof orphans, including the title character.

“And they’re both super good,” Sheehy adds.

NORTHFIELD — Spaulding Youth Cen-ter is pleased to an-nounce the success of its annual Authors Tea, which celebrat-ed the literary accom-plishments of its stu-dents. Families and staff toured the class-rooms and listened to students present their personal creations. Among the offerings were captivating fairy tales and creative com-ic book stories.

Students in one classroom wrote about their favor-ite off-campus trips, which served as a tes-tament to the wide va-riety of educational, adventurous and fun activities Spaulding regularly schedules for students. Another classroom wrote and illustrated fun comic books – an assignment that encouraged broad use of imagination and artistic creativity. Stu-dents printed, illus-trated and bound their books, which included works of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. The majority of students worked to bring their

stories to a published level by having their book typed and proof-read and then creating a colorful cover and special sections, in-cluding About the Au-thor.

“The annual Au-thors Tea provides our students with a unique literary oppor-tunity that inspires creativity,” said Su-san C. Ryan, President &CEO of Spaulding Youth Center. “The students take the orig-inal assignment and truly develop the most imaginative ways to freely express them-selves. Not only do students earn a sense of independence and self-confidence from the project, but these accomplishments are shared with fami-ly, friends and peers during the event so that they can join the celebration.”

Annual campus events such as the Au-thors Tea are conduct-ed to provide instruc-tive and therapeutic outcomes for Spauld-ing students. This event in particular pro-

vides a chance for our students to participate in an exciting school event where they can experience confi-dence-building success and allows parents the opportunity to watch their child thrive in an integrated educational activity.

STRATEGIES FOR LIVINGn

BY LARRY SCOTT

“Thanks be to God!” wrote the Apostle Paul. “He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

There is so much for which I am thank-ful at this time of the year. Living in Ameri-ca, knowing Christ on a personal level, being financially stable, a family for which I have every right to be proud … these are blessings I never take for granted.

And, I note with the Apostle Paul, I owe it all to God. Yes, I believe in

God. The God the Bible portrays as a father fig-ure, watching over his own with love and jus-tice, is real. I have cho-sen to respect his design for my life … and he has been good to me!

I was given the ad-vantage of being reared in a Christian home. Thousands of babies were conceived at the same time I was, and yet I – the real, eternal me – was placed in the womb of an American wom-an who loved God and raised me accordingly. My father was a man of

honor, a gentleman of great character who set an example and showed me the way to honesty and integrity. This ac-cident of birth gave me a healthy start in life I could have discovered in no other way. Why me? I cannot justify the fact … I am just thank-ful!

This is not to say that life has always been a walk in the park. Like so many others, I, too, have been to hell and back. But, with the Psalmist, I have discovered that “when I walk through the valley of the shad-ow of death, behold, you are with me.” And I am not alone. Most Chris-tians will tell you that in their deepest, darkest moments, God has been there … and he has not been silent.

We are thankful, and rightly so. For some of us, it is the result of being forgiven for an irresponsible past … or undisciplined lust … or an addiction to alcohol and drugs … or a temper that is out of control. Yes, we have

been there, and we have a lot of changing yet to do. But we have been forgiven, and that is be-yond belief. We do not boast; we are just grate-ful.

Twenty years ago, I was recovering from bankruptcy, living on the road driving a long-haul truck, and with-out a clue as to how my future was going to evolve. Who could have predicted that within ten years I would be the beneficiary of a loving and stable marriage, own my own home, and, at 79 years of age, have great health! I have, in-deed, been blessed be-yond what I deserve.

My entire family will be together this holiday. A college tennis coach, a marketing manager, a nurse, a teacher, a preacher, an insurance manager, a real estate appraiser, a business executive, and four healthy great-grand-children -- will make this a Thanksgiving to remember.

And it all comes

Thankful beyond words

To the Editor:The integrity of our elections rests with the Sec-

retary of State. For the first time in New Hampshire history, the pervasive influence of money is threat-ening the integrity of the Secretary of State’s elec-tion. Special interests with clever names like “NH Forward” and “Free and Fair NH” are polluting the election process.

The Democrat party wants Bill Gardner – a Demo-crat – out of office. Why? Two reasons. First, because he dared to participate in the President’s voter fraud commission, refusing to kowtow to Democrats who opposed it. And second, because he has scrupulous-ly followed our ever-changing election laws and has done so without any partisan bias.

Enter Democrat avenger Colin van Ostern, who has raised over a quarter of a million dollars to buy the office of Secretary of State. Partisan money – out-of-state money, and lots of it – is being used to campaign for the office responsible for the integrity of our elections. Control the office, and you control the process. Putting an unabashed partisan wan-nabe into the Secretary of State’s office will enable Democrats to do just that. It will turn a scrupulously non-partisan position into a political contest.

Let’s talk specifics.Van Ostern claims the Secretary of State’s of-

fice needs modernization, yet he refuses to use the on-line campaign finance system to file receipt and expenditure reports. He files paper copies instead, making it much harder to “follow the money” in his campaign. Rather than embracing modernization and transparency by using the state’s electronic reporting system, he deliberately made it harder to learn who’s really behind this shameful episode.

Van Ostern raised more money in his campaign

for Secretary of State than any General Election can-didate for state office except the Governor and one state senate candidate. He’s been anything but trans-parent with his filings. Required reports have been deliberately submitted on paper to keep the contents out of the searchable database. He changed formats on paper filings to make researching his donors al-most impossible. In every required filing during his failed 2016 campaign for Governor he listed contrib-utors in alphabetical order by first name, making it much harder to “follow the money.” His filing histo-ry is anything but transparent.

Van Ostern’s entire campaign is about retri-bution against Gardner and loyalty to a party that wants to control the office overseeing our elections.

Gardner is a Democrat, and I’m a Republican. But I’ve supported him for Secretary of State, since I was a freshman State Representative in 2001, without reservation because his loyalty is not to any party or special interest, but to the integrity of elections and the people of New Hampshire. Thousands of leg-islators have supported him for decades – without the influence of Van Ostern’s money and party poli-tics – precisely because he has served our state with distinction and earned the unconditional trust and respect of every legislator we’ve sent to Concord.

Let’s not pollute the office of our Secretary of State with out-of-state special interest money or partisan retribution. We deserve better. Tell your legislators you expect them to vote for unimpeachable integrity and scrupulous honesty. Tell them to keep partisan-ship and special interest money out of it. Tell them you want Bill Gardner as your Secretary of State.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORn

SEE STATEGIES, PAGE A9

BY MARK PATTERSON In 1934, the Roos-

evelt administration put forth the “New Deal,” which includ-ed the entitlement we know as Social Securi-ty. Originally, Social Security was not ac-cessible until the age of 65. Now SS can be started at the age of 62 or even younger if dis-abled. When we start-ed SS, there were 42 people paying into the system for every one person taking from the system, making it very solvent.

A generation of peo-ple born in the 1920’s and ‘30’s, some of whom fought in World War II and were later referred to as the Henry Ford generation but named

the Greatest Genera-tion by Tom Brokaw. Those soldiers who returned from WWII created the “Baby Boom” generation that is defined from 1946 through 1964. During that 18 year span, there were 78 million people born in this country. After this generation we have had Genera-tion X and Gen Y blend-ing in with the Millen-nials, all of whom have not had nearly as many children as that Baby Boomer generation.

The Baby Boomers are now retiring at the rate of 10,000 per day, driving the ratio from 42 contributors to one recipient of SS entitle-ments and Medicare/ Medicaid to only three contributors to one recipient. Within the next ten years, the ra-tio will be 1 to 1.

Let’s estimate an in-dividual’s annual SS and Medicare entitle-ments at age 66, which is full retirement age currently. May-be $24,000 in SS and $15,000 in Medicare, not to mention any additional Veterans benefits. My high pow-

ered calculator tells me that in 10 years, every working person will have to support rough-ly $40,000 worth of enti-tlements annually that we Baby Boomers are collecting.

Our national debt is over $20 trillion, and will accelerate expo-nentially in order to just service the exist-ing debt. With interest rates climbing, more pressure is applied on that debt repayment. The most recent down-turns in the equity markets have been triggered by a spike in rates. You see, the eq-uity(stock) traders love cheap money. In my opinion, the next re-cession will be brought on by the Federal Re-serve raising interest rates to aggressively. We are already seeing a slowing in the hous-ing market because of interest rates and the “wealth effect” wear-ing off with the stock market pull-back.

David Walker, who was comptroller of the US until 2008, has stat-ed that we must double tax rates just to stay solvent. Cutting spend-

ing would obviously help, but Washington cannot seem to accom-plish this. Just after WWII, our highest tax rate was 94 percent; in the 1970’s, we had a top tax rate of 70 percent. In 2012, our highest rate went from 35 to 39.5 percent; last year, the tax reform act went into place, creating even lower rates and bigger standard deduc-tions. So, we are close to historic lows for our tax rates, yet we still defer taxes until a lat-er date. Tax diversi-fication is extremely important, and if you are not taking advan-tage of some methods for paying taxes now at these low rates for tax free money in the fu-ture, I believe you will regret this.

down to this. “Thanks be to God who gives us the victory – through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Our God is no man’s debtor; he always gives more than he takes away. I cannot imagine what my life – and that of my family – would be like were it not for the influence Jesus Christ has had in each of our lives. We have been honored and blessed – and I am thankful.

Occasionally, I have the opportunity to step outside my roll as a staff writer/reporter to share observations with our readers, and I am so happy to do so this year as Thanksgiv-ing approaches.

The best part of my job is the interaction I have with people from many towns and many walks of life, and over the past year, I have taken note of all they have been thankful for. The list is virtually endless, but I thought I would share some of them now, along with additional notes of gratitude readers sent in to me in the past week.

Volunteerism is a topic that comes up time and again when people give thanks in towns from Warren to Waterville, Belmont to Danbury and all points in between. Without volunteers each town said events like Old Home Day, Danbury’s Grange Day, the con-cert series in towns like Belmont, Bristol, Hebron and Plymouth, sporting events in all towns along with countless more family activities would never take place. Volunteers also help beautify their communities, which encourage people to stop and visit. Drop by Main Street in Ash-land or Campton to see what volunteers

do to welcome their residents and visitors alike. They take care of the environment and promote healthy living while supporting non-profit groups through events like the N.H. Marathon, Run Your Buns Off, the New-found Country Store’s upcoming Turkey Trot, the Belmont Road Race and countless more community races.

Volunteers also or-ganize major events, such as Plymouth’s upcoming Hometown Holiday Celebration next weekend, and the Holiday parade and fireworks scheduled for Tilton. They orga-nize patriotic tributes on Memorial Day and Veterans Day and of-

fer fun activities for the youngsters in each town all year long.

Most of all, volun-teers also help their neighbors. They check on them in bad weath-er, raise money for worthy causes, and help feed local children who might otherwise not have meals and healthy snacks when not in school.

Over the holidays, many towns have groups of caring peo-ple who will be deliv-ering food baskets to needy families and the elderly. Local fire departments, such as Tilton-Northfield Fire & EMS, will be con-tributing winter cloth-ing through a Warm Coats program to the

Tilton-Northfield-San-bornton Santa Fund. Many families, I’m sure, will be thankful for the donations from them and other fire departments that take part in this annual ini-tiative.

We are all very thankful for your ser-vices.

When disaster strikes many brave men and women step up to keep people safe and there were many words of gratitude for the Bristol Fire De-partment and the other 21 towns who helped battle a four-alarm fire in Bristol earlier this year. As residents stood stunned outside their homes they still managed to express how grateful for they were for the men and women who came to their rescue. The com-munity, and by that I again mean multiple towns from throughout the area, then stepped in to provide the vic-tims with clothing, food, furniture, school supplies, housewares and everything else they might need to get their lives back on track.

One woman was thankful for a Thorn-ton off-duty police of-ficer who rescued her family caught up in river currents. Other rescue workers helped lost hikers, performed canine rescues, assist-ed those involved in accidents and more; all selfless deeds that brought gratitude for the Emergency Re-sponders. Thanks to them all for their brave deeds but most espe-cially for the military men and women who were honored this past Veterans Day for their heroic services and sacrifices as well.

Finally, there were the personal memos I received this week. Each contained heart-felt thanks for their families and special times they spent to-gether this year; for the physicians or surgeons who gave them a new lease on life; the neigh-bor who reached out to assist in a time of need; and even a loving pet who brings them com-panionship.

One woman, who organizes a cultural high school exchange program each year,

offered, “I am grate-ful for generous fami-lies who have opened their homes and hearts to students from around the world. Stu-dent exchange builds cross-cultural under-standing.”

Town officials also stepped in to share their thanks. One se-lectman said, “I'm thankful for commu-nity; the core group of townspeople who help make our town a great place to live and work.”

Yet another town of-ficial said, “I’m thank-ful for a beautiful fam-ily, very involved and compassionate com-munity, and most of all my health to continue to do what I love to do most...give back where I can.”

Finally, a group of students at a local school shared their simple yet heartfelt gratitude in a way that only children can. They each gave thanks for moms, dads, grandparents, siblings, cousins and pets, all the things that mean the world to the very young. One child didn’t forget an important item, though — God.

On this special hol-iday, I feel I should share all I’m grateful for as well. I first give thanks to my son and daughter-in-law and their amazing “Little Men” who made me Nana, and to my beau-tiful daughter and her fiancé. I am very thank-ful that we will be wel-coming Kevin into our family next Septem-ber. I’m also thankful for my siblings, my new great niece Ada Bell who was born on Nov. 10th, my parents and especially for my grandmother who will turn 101-years-old in December! We are so blessed!

Last but not least, I am grateful to the Salmon Press family for including me in their ranks and most importantly for all the amazing people and places I have come to know and love through this job. The fact that you willingly open up your homes, talents, services and experi-ences to me makes my job a very special one. My thanks to you are immeasurable.

Happy Thanksgiv-ing one and all!

Unintended consequences

shared with close fam-ily and friends. Laugh-ter at home and by the camp fire was always abundant. Our mem-ories are etched with Scott’s full enjoyment of good friends, good beer and good humor.

Scott especially loved hunting and tracking with his brother Jimmy. Being in the woods was second nature to him. He could always find his way as if the com-pass rose was etched in his heart.

Scott was married to Denise Sleeper. They shared 29 beautiful years together after

meeting on vacation in Aruba. They lived in Gilford with their two sons, Kyle Joseph Sleep-er, 23, and Connor John Sleeper, 20.

From early on, Scott and Denise shared the philosophy that the fu-ture is not guaranteed so they fully embraced life by working hard, playing hard and not taking any moments for granted. It allowed them to live life with no regrets. Laughter and not sweating the small stuff became the hallmarks of their life together. This began the legacy of a life well lived with faith and family.

Scott was very proud of his mom, Peggy Van-Bennekum, for teaching him the importance of working hard and per-severing through diffi-cult times. His greatest desire for her was to be happy and enjoy life af-ter working so hard all of her life. He always wanted her to know that

he loved her and that life was good.

Scott will always be remembered for his love of family, love of the outdoors, his quick wit and contagious smile. He bravely endured Alzheimer’s disease and has donated his brain for the on-going research of brain disor-ders to Mass General. In life and in death, Scott is making a difference by being the incredible person he was born to be. He would not want people to be sad, but he would want everyone to live life to the fullest, without regret and with lots of laughter because after all…life is good.

Scott is survived by his mother, Peggy Van-Bennekum, and her husband, Bill; his wife, Denise Sleeper; two sons, Kyle and Conner Sleeper; two brothers, Jimmy Pescinski and his wife, Christine and Mark Pescinski and his significant other,

Kathy; and many nieces and nephews.

A Mass of Chris-tian Burial will be cel-ebrated on Saturday, Nov. 24, 2018 at 11 a.m. at St. Katherine Drex-el Church, 40 Hidden Springs Rd., Alton, NH 03809

A celebration of life luncheon will be held immediately follow-ing the service in the church hall.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggest me-morial donations be made to Every Child is Ours C/O Winnisquam School District, 433 W Main St, Tilton, NH 03276 or online at www.nhecio.com.

Florence Dorothy Andrus, 86 John E. Foley, 44

Scott Alan Sleeper, 52

Florence Dorothy (Readyhough) Andrus passed away peacefully on Nov. 15, 2018, while holding her daughter’s hand. She was 86 years old. You probably knew her as Flo, but more like-ly as “Nana.”

She was born Nov. 4, 1932 in Brooklyn, N.Y. to Rose Mary and Edward George Readyhough, one of 10 children. Her early work in New Hampshire was at the Laconia State School, caring for dis-abled children. She also worked for many years at Rumford Press in Concord. She was a very proud, hard worker. Her true life’s work was be-ing of service to others. After her husband Nor-man’s passing she saw a need, and drove patients to White River Junction, Vt. for treatments. She baked countless bundt cakes and cookies, and donated her crocheted afghans for fundraisers of every kind. If her chil-dren or grandchildren mentioned that a teacher or friend had been espe-cially kind to them, then they got an afghan, too. Those beautiful afghans made with her own two hands live on as part of her legacy. She was a life member of VFW Auxil-iary Post 1698, and her passion was helping vet-erans. She cheered them at deployment sendoffs, welcomed them at home-comings, honored them by marching proudly in her blue Auxiliary uniform in parades and attending ceremonies, and filled countless care packages with her baked goods. She was extremely proud of her own grandson’s military service. Her joys were a rousing Winnisquam basketball game, bingo, a winning scratch ticket, a warm summer breeze, and her family. Florence was predeceased by her husband Norman Lord Andrus, beloved par-ents, brothers and sis-ters.

She is survived by her beloved sister, Marga-ret Eustice; her sister-in-law and best friend, Mary Readyhough; her nieces and nephews. She leaves her children, Mar-tha Andus and husband Charley Arena, Mari-anne Chalut and hus-

N O R T H F I E L D — John E. Foley, 44, of Northfield, and formerly of Tilton and Holbrook, Mass., passed away on Sunday, Nov. 11, 2018 at his home after a short illness.

John was born in Quincy, Mass. on Sept. 5, 1974, the son of Robert Sr. and Patricia (Crib-ben) Foley. He was a graduate of Holbrook High School and attend-ed Franklin Pierce Col-lege. John loved music and had an extensive re-cord collection that con-tinued to grow. He was also a huge fan of the Boston Red Sox.

His family includes his mother, Patricia A. (Cribben) Foley, and her dear friend Jan Brassil of Brockton, Mass.; his former wife, Carrie Ann

GILFORD — Scott Alan Sleeper, 52, died on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018 from the rapid progres-sion of Early Onset Alz-heimer’s Disease.

Scott was born on May 20, 1966 in Tilton.

Scott was a tremen-dous athlete in his high school years. He ex-celled in all sports, but was most remembered for being a soccer all-star and being invited to play in the Lions Cup for his outstanding per-formance on the Win-nisquam High School soccer team.

Scott worked for Co-ca-Cola for 25 years. He proudly wore his Coke uniform, and loved being a route driver delivering Coca-Cola products throughout the lakes region and beyond. He drove a trac-tor trailer with the ease and grace of driving a pick-up truck and was adored by customers and colleagues.

Scott was devoted to his family and enjoyed creating joyful memo-ries in everyday life, on special occasions and the special memories of family vacations…es-pecially Disney World. He loved being outdoors hunting, skiing, camp-ing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and being at the ocean. Many of these special memories were

Northfield man pleads guilty to falsely obtaining Social Security benefits

CONCORD – Rob-ert Gallagher Sr., 50, of Northfield, pleaded guilty in federal court

to making false state-ments to obtain Social Security disability insurance benefits,

United States Attorney Scott W. Murray an-nounced last week.

According to court

documents and state-ments made in court, Gallagher has managed and worked as a me-

chanic at since 2008. In May of 2012, Gallagher applied for disability insurance benefits and falsely claimed that he had been unable to work since Jan. 1, 2011. To receive disability insurance benefits, an individual must have a medical disability that prevents the claimant from performing “sub-stantial gainful activ-ity”—that is, work ac-tivity that is the type ordinarily done for pay or profit. Social Secu-rity advised Gallagher that he was required to report whether he was working, regardless of his income, and that if he provided Social Security with “false in-formation on purpose, [his] benefits will be stopped.” However, al-though Gallagher was managing and working when he applied for benefits, he concealed his work activity from Social Security. As a result, Gallagher be-gan receiving Social Security disability in-surance benefits in Oc-tober of 2013.

In December 2016, during an in-person work activity review, Gallagher again told Social Security that he had not been work-ing. In 2017, during an audit of Department of Motor Vehicle in-spections by the New Hampshire State Po-lice, Gallagher told the inspector that he worked approximately 47 hours per week as both a mechanic and state vehicle inspector. Gallagher subsequent-ly admitted to an inves-tigator from the Office of the Inspector Gener-al, that he had worked since 2008 and that he lied to Social Security when he claimed that he was not working. As a result of his con-cealment, Gallagher received Social Securi-ty disability insurance benefits that he was not entitled to receive from October 2013 through March 2017.

Gallagher is sched-uled to be sentenced on Feb. 21.

“Federal benefits

programs provide im-portant support for qualified individuals,” said U.S. Attorney Murray. “Those who use fraudulent means to obtain benefits are committing a serious federal crime. We work closely with fed-eral agencies to ensure that federal benefits only go to those who truly deserve them.”

“Mr. Gallagher’s false statements al-lowed him to collect funds from the Social Security Administra-tion’s Disability Trust fund that he was not entitled to,” said Scott Antolik, the Special Agent-in-Charge of the Social Security Admin-istration’s Office of the Inspector General Bos-ton Field Division. “I hope these charges will be a warning to those who might lie to the So-cial Security Adminis-tration to fraudulently obtain disability ben-efits to the detriment of those who are tru-ly deserving. I thank our partners with the New Hampshire State Police for their assis-tance with this investi-gation.”

“The U.S. Postal In-spection Service will continue to conduct in-vestigations with our counterparts to combat fraud,” said U.S. Postal Inspection Service In-spector in Charge, Jo-seph W. Cronin Bos-ton Division. “We will seek prosecution of those individuals who choose to use the U.S. Mail to facilitate crimes like these. Mr. Gallagher made fraud-ulent statements to financially gain from a system designed to support those in need.”

This matter was in-

vestigated by the So-cial Security Admin-istration Office of the Inspector General, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the New Hampshire State Po-lice. The case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attor-ney Matthew T. Hunt-er.

Lecture on lef Farms, Nov. 26 at Taylor CommunityLACONIA — Where

are the greens? In our neighborhood. In fact, they are served right in the Taylor Commu-nity Bistro. Come learn more about these local, hydroponically grown greens in a lecture at Taylor Community’s Woodside Building, Monday, Nov. 26 at 2 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.

When the people at lēf Farms thought about the journey most greens have to take to

reach the Northeast – along with the lack of freshness, excess fuel consumption, and add-ed shipping costs – they knew it was time to give the NE something fresh. An alternative to West Coast-grown greens, lēf Farms offers a smarter choice that not only allows people to buy local, it gives a cleaner, more delicious and environmentally sound option, right in our neighborhood.

operator to see all that is taking place in the room as they control it from their own computer. Businesses are also us-ing it for employees who aren’t onsite but need to take part in meetings and a sturdier outdoor version can assist in search and rescue mis-sions and more.

“The Double essen-tially allows you to be in two places at once. It can be controlled from any-where. Even if you are in China you can be here in New Hampshire at the same time through your computer,” said Collins.

Introducing the stu-dents to careers in the physical sciences was meteorologist Hayley LaPoint, known for her televised weather fore-casting on WMUR.

“While I am on TV a lot, I really think of my-self as a scientist first. We’re just the ones who come in contact with the public,” said LaPoint.

She explained that she and other television meteorologists are just a few of literally thou-sands of scientists work-ing around the world to examine the weather and relay its potential impact to the public. And to shoot down a myth,

she said that like the oth-ers in her more public side of the field, they do not just go to Weather.com then read their fore-cast on air.

“That couldn’t be further from the truth,” LaPoint said. “I study the weather patterns and then come up with my own accurate fore-cast each day.”

She told an all girls’ group in one session of the round-robin style event that being a sci-entist has its challenges though for women break-ing into a male-dominat-ed world. LaPoint told them to keep working hard toward their goals.

“People also made fun of me in school because I was that weather nerd…but I used that as fuel to get me to my dream job,” said LaPoint.

She also said that math was not her strong point in college but she worked hard to pass those necessary classes, meeting with professors every day for extra help so she could graduate and become a meteorol-ogist.

Edward Jones: Financial Focus

This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. For more information or to sign up for their monthly newsletter, contact your local Financial Advisor.

We’ve still got a couple of months left in 2018, but it’s not too soon to start thinking about some year-end investment moves that might benefit you. Here are a few possibilities (although not all will apply to your situation): Add to your IRA. For the 2018 tax year, you can put up to $5,500 into your traditional or Roth IRA (assuming you are eligible), or $6,500 if you’re 50 or older. If you haven’t reached this limit, consider adding some money. You have until April 15, 2019, to contribute to your IRA for 2018, but why wait until

the last minute? Increase your 401(k) contributions. You already may be investing in your 401(k) or similar e m p l o y e r - s p o n s o r e d retirement plan, but you might be able to bump up your contributions for the rest of the year, if it’s allowed. Of course, you should always put in enough to earn your employer’s matching contribution, if one is offered. Take your RMDs. If you are 70½ or older, you must start taking withdrawals – called required minimum distributions, or RMDs – from your traditional IRA

and your 401(k) or similar retirement plan. Generally, you must take these RMDs by December 31 every year. But if you turned 70½ in 2018, you can wait until April 1, 2019, until you take your first RMD. However, you will then have to take a second RMD (the one for age 71) by December 31, 2019. Taking two RMDs in one year could give you an unexpectedly large taxable income for the year, possibly bumping you into a higher tax bracket and affecting the amount of your Social Security benefits subject to taxes. So, if you are

considering delaying your first RMD, consult with your tax advisor. Make changes in response to life events. In 2018, did you experience a major life event, such as a marriage, divorce or addition of a child? Or did you change jobs or retire? Any of these events could lead you to adjust your investment plans, so now may be the time to do so, possibly with the help of a financial professional. Review your investment mix. At least once a year, it’s a good idea to review your investment mix to ensure it’s still suitable for your goals and risk tolerance.

Sometimes, even without your taking any action, your portfolio might change in ways you hadn’t expected. For example, suppose you wanted your portfolio to contain 60% stocks and 40% bonds and other investments. After a period of rising prices, though, the value of your stocks may have increased so much that they now occupy 65% of your portfolio – which means you may be taking on more risk than you had originally intended. Consequently, you may need to rebalance your portfolio to get back to your original

60% to 40% ratios. (Keep in mind that these figures are just for illustration; everyone’s ideal portfolio mix will depend on their individual situations.) These aren’t the only year-end moves you may want to consider, but they can help you close out 2018 on a positive note. Plus, they can serve as a reminder that you need to be vigilant as you keep working toward your financial goals.

dents were included. The only difference was that all the inspiration came from women who have succeeded in the fields of science, technology, en-gineering and math.

“This is the second year we’ve held this event, and it’s part of

a passion I have to get students interested in STEM,” said Pearson, who herself has a degree in engineering. “The dis-trict is committed to ex-posing students to STEM in grades kindergarten through 12th and this is one way of doing just

that.”Also on hand from the

district was WRHS sci-ence instructor Natalie Amtmann who said she brought one of her class-es to the event because she hoped they would be inspired.

“Things like this can

help them figure out a job they might like to pursue one day. Provid-ing them with this expo-sure to people already in these fields and learning what they’re all about is vital,” Amtmann said.

“Officers also served a search warrant at the address and spent the better part of the morning collecting ev-idence removed from the home under the provision of the search warrant,” said Capt. Richard Mann of the Belmont Police Depart-ment.

Kimball was even-tually released on bail and will report to Belk-nap County Superior Court at an unspecified date to answer to the charge of felony drug sales.

Mann said this ar-rest was only part of the ongoing battle against drug addiction, and his department takes that matter quite seriously.

“The Belmont Po-

lice Department is committed to taking an aggressive stance against the issue of il-legal drug sales in and around our communi-ty,” he said. “We are very active in sharing information with our law enforcement part-ners to ensure maxi-mum effort is put forth to address this prob-

choose to live in New Hampshire, determine their satisfaction with residing in the state, how they would rank the quality of life here and determine if they plan on staying.

“The survey was a bit weighted by the re-sponse from people in the southern part of the state, but all regions were represented,” Stewart said.

Through the survey, the group found that 52-percent of those in-dividuals were born in New Hampshire while five-percent came here for higher education and 14-percent for a job. As far as their lifestyle, 41-percent own their homes and 21-percent live with family still, while others rent their homes or apartments.

“The majority of them living with family members said that was because they couldn’t

afford to pay rent; many because of student debt. We’re the number one state in student debt,” said Stewart.

Sadly, when asked how many friends or family members live nearby or are easily ac-cessible, 21-percent of respondents said they are also friendless and 25-percent felt living in New Hampshire left them isolated from their family.

“That’s concerning and disturbing when it comes to work force retention if they feel they’re not engaged with their community in any way,” he said. “With the Loneliness Factor, peo-ple are more likely to leave for other opportu-nities.”

Other reasons young professionals tend to move to other states are due to the lack of afford-able housing, lack of job or career opportunities, little access to cultural opportunities and enter-tainment, and the lack of

public transportation. When it comes to job

availability however, Stewart said they have found there are many opportunities that peo-ple simply aren’t aware of and a lack of people to fill many of those jobs.

“New Hampshire is the second oldest state in the country, even higher than Florida. We need more young peo-ple. Right now, there are over 20,000 open jobs, but we have more jobs than job seekers,” he said.

There was good news though. The reasons list-ed by others who said they would stay in-state were the quality of the environment, parks and recreation areas, as well as the proximity to a va-riety of outdoor activi-ties. Respondents also said they enjoyed the sense of community in their town or neighbor-hood, the affordable tax rate (excluding property taxes), and the fact that they perceive the state

as a safe place to live.At the end of the sur-

vey, it was revealed that 23-percent were com-pletely satisfied with liv-ing in the Granite State and 36-percent were very satisfied. Over-all, 19-percent of those surveyed said they will definitely not be mov-ing, 29-percent probably won’t move out of state, but 22-percent probably will move elsewhere and 14-percent said they will definitely be heading to another state.

One other observa-tion that Stewart made is that this Millennial group of young adults like to live and work in close proximity to out-door activities and expe-riences.

“They’re ‘off the chart’ when it comes to the environment. Any-thing outdoorsy this group loves,” he said.

Mark Hayes of High-land Mountain Bike Park, located in North-field, took heart in this information. He said his

recreation area has seen up to 30,000 people visit-ing there each year for world class mountain biking. With a poten-tial to grow even more, and with the natural re-sources it provides for hiking, snowshoeing and other recreational uses, he said it’s a good time to be in Northfield and the surrounding towns.

Northfield Town Administrator Glenn Smith is also a member of the NEDC and agreed with Hayes.

“It is hard to overem-phasize what Mark has done for this communi-ty. We’re no longer on the edge of recreation in the Lakes Region, we’re in the middle of it,” he said.

Information provided by Stay Work Play New Hampshire will now be taken into consideration as the NEDC looks at fu-ture considerations to drive up the economic factors of the town.

Barrington has been with One Light since its birth in 2016, when she played Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz.”

“I’ve enjoyed work-ing with One Light Theatre again!” she says.

Of course, putting on a production is a lot of work. Besides the music is all of the building, singing, and choreography.

“Learning the cho-reography has been a real pleasure,” says ac-tress Hillary Ayers. “I love seeing the orphan numbers coming to-gether.”

The choreography has been beautiful-ly created and taught by Andover native Kyle Tremblay, whose daughters and hus-band are all on stage for the production.

The Tremblay fam-ily is not the only one

that has made this a family-bonding experi-ence. Shelly and Wil-low Harrington of Til-ton play the infamous Miss Hannigan and orphan Tessie, respec-tively.

“I’m having a blast stepping out of my comfort zone and un-packing all the layers

of Agatha Hannigan. And I never knew her first name was Ag-atha!” Willow said.

She kindly added (in character, of course), “Oh, my goodness, One Light is the best!”

“Annie” features another beautiful set designed by Executive Director Jason Roy,

who recently complet-ed work designing parts of the Broadway set for “Rear Window,” to open in January for a limited run.

The production is in Hamilton Hall at Tilton School on Friday, Nov. 30 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 1 at 2 and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Dec. 2 at

2 p.m. The production is general admission, and tickets are $16-$20 and can be purchased at onelighttheatre.org or by calling 848-7979. There is a group rate of $10 per ticket for groups of 10 or more people. Tickets are also available at the door.

TILTON — The Win-nisquam volleyball team had a dream sea-son this past fall with an undefeated record and a second consecutive Division 3 state title. It

takes great coaching to put together a season like this, and for that reason coach Mike Liv-ernois and JV coach Kevin Archibald both won their third-straight coach of the year hon-ors.

LACONIA — The New England Wolves Hockey Program, based out of Laconia, was honored on Tues-day Nov. 13, with the Volunteer Program Champion Award by the Spirit of New Hampshire Awards. The award event was held at the Capital Center for the Arts in downtown Concord.

The Wolves, coming off the 2017-18 EHL/EHLP “Humanitarian of the Year Award” were chosen by the Spirit of New Hamp-

shire Award com-mittee, “In acknowl-edgement of your exemplary contribu-tions to volunteerism and to the betterment of life in New Hamp-shire.” In person to re-ceive the awards were co-owners Tim Kunes and Andrew Trimble.

“We are very appre-ciative to receive such an honor, and thank the committee for recognizing us,” said Trimble. “Giving back and paying forward is part of our programs culture here in Laco-

nia. Receiving such an award, and standing with people who are serving in dangerous rescue zones, or with patients in hospice is truly humbling.”

In 2017-18 the Wolves dedicated more than 1,000 man hours to projects in the Lakes Region, in-cluding PumpkinFest, United Way Day of Car-ing, the Pond Hockey Classic, The Max Toy Drive (benefiting Bos-ton Children’s Hospi-tal) and much more. Additionally, they

held benefit games for the NH Humane Soci-ety, Maria Mayne and the third annual JBT Benefit Game, which to date has raised al-most $50,000 for the Cure Starts Now foun-dation.

On Sept. 24, the city of Laconia issued a proclamation naming the day “New England Wolves Day.”

TILTON — The Win-nisquam field hockey team was impressive down the stretch and made a nice push into the playoffs as the seventh seed. Three young players who led the Bears all season were recognized with All-State nods, includ-ing sophomores Madi-son House and Eveline Auger making first team, and freshman Alexis Poole making second team.

Madison HouseHouse was the cen-

ter midfielder for Bears this season and was impressive from the beginning. She had 12 goals on the season and was a primary source of of-fense, as well as mov-ing the ball up field for scoring opportunities.

“Wonderful ath-lete,” said coach Erin Cayer, who just fin-ished her first season as the coach of the field hockey team. “A strong leader, motiva-tor and always posi-tive.”

House said she is proud of being named to the first team for All-State and is a sign that her hard work is paying off. She reflect-ed on this past season and felt that the best game for the Bears as a whole as against Bishop Brady on Oct. 5 when Winnisquam squeaked by with a 2-1 win.

She recalled a point in the second half when Winnisquam re-ceived a corner and put the ball in the goal with just minutes re-maining.

“This was a big deal for us because we were lacking the con-fidence we needed for the stronger teams,” said House.

Individually, she said her best game came against Newport in the opening round of the state tournament. House said during the game she was being

pushed around and ended with a mus-cle injury, but in the first half she scored the lone goal for the Bears, which came off a drive from the top of the circle that she had been working on.

House admitted that with a very young team and a new coach, the beginning of the season had its tough moments. However this change ended up being for the good, she said.

“Our new coach brought new ideas and attitudes to our team,” said House.

House’s goal for next year is to contin-ue to grow as a team and make it to the fi-nal four and to push herself as a player to make plays outside of her comfort zone.

Eveline AugerAuger played de-

fense for the Bears this season and had a goal to go along with a team high 15 assists. Cayer commented on Auger’s athleticism and said her sports-manship also stands out.

“Positive attitude and team player,” Cay-er said. “She is critical to the defensive end of WRHS field hockey.”

Auger said the All-State nomination was a major honor and said she couldn’t have reached this lev-el without the help of coach Cayer and coach Maggie Lupo at Winn-isquam, her club field hockey coach Kris Mc-Namara and her fami-ly who have supported her along the way.

“Being named All State is one step clos-er to my goal of play-ing field hockey at the collegiate level,” said Auger. “I hope to open some eyes in the recruiting world, and continue to make myself known to po-tential schools I may be interested in. Be-ing named All-State is a fantastic form of recognition that I am beyond happy to have received.”

Auger also felt one of the most memo-rable games was the battle against Bishop Brady on Oct. 5. She said individually she was proud of the way she played, as she had many defensive tack-les and outlets, as well as aerials- a skill she was working to perfect all season.

“Words cannot ex-plain how proud I was of my team after this game,” said Au-ger. “Everyone played with heart, determina-tion, and we were all hungry for the win.”

Auger’s goal for next season is to work on her vision in the game and gaining con-fidence in her play.

She also wants to help bring the Bears to the final four in the state tournament.

“In order to do this I believe we need to work extremely hard on individual skills and the execution of certain plays on the field,” said Auger.

Alexis PoolePoole may be a

freshman but she is playing beyond her years, with the second team All-State nod. Cayer described her as an “incredible mid-fielder” who is able to transfer positions to the forward line for added support in the offense.

“A young athlete but represented WRHS well on the field this year,” said Cayer.

Poole said she was surprised to have been nominated as a fresh-man and acknowl-edged the type of talent that she plays around. Poole has been play-ing field hockey since fourth grade and said it not only her favorite sport to play, but also something she does year round.

“For me this sport never really stops,” said Poole. “All this practice has really helped benefit me. Field hockey is a major part in my life. Play-ing this sport helps keep me in shape as well as it give a place to go and escape from the outside world.”

Poole said playing midfield is something she has learned to love, but has become very good at due to her athleticism. In the spring Poole will run track and she said this makes her a better runner and has helped with her endurance. She said there are parts of her game she still needs to improve- notably not dwelling on her mistakes. How-ever, playing year round has helped her learn that mistakes happen to everyone and she needs to just keep going and not give up.

Poole said being recognized for her strong play this sea-son has been a huge confidence boost, as the girls on her team have been supportive and built each other up to become better players. She said her teammates have al-ways offered advice and suggestions on how to grow as a play-er, and she is thankful for helping her suc-ceed.

“I can't wait until next school season to come back and show Division 3 ‘Winnis-quam field hockey is not a team to be messed with,’ as coach Cayer would say,” Poole said.

gral to the success of the volleyball program.

This is the fourth award for Livernois, with his other coming in 1998. He said it is al-ways a real honor when you are recognized by peers.

“They truly know how hard it is to do what we do,” said Livernois. “Especially when you are coaching because we are all competing for the same thing. It is a wonderful honor to be recognized. I appreciate that people have recog-nized the job we’ve done the past few years.”

Winnisquam has been among the top teams in Division 3 for many years, and over the past two seasons the team has only lost one game. He said this not only speaks to the qual-ity of the coaching staff, which also includes Jonathan Ledoux, but also the time and dedi-cation that the athletes constantly put in.

“We have had some really great players for the last nine years,” Livernois said. “We are 149-23 over nine seasons with four titles and two runners up. I think that speaks volumes to the level of players we have had, but it also speaks to the community. We have great parents who

go out of their way to support the program and that takes a lot of burden off the coaching staff.”

Livernois said the parents are the ones who get their children to practices, bring them to camps to improve their skills, run the snack shacks, sponsor team feeds and more. He said the success of the Winnisquam volleyball program is a complete, team effort.

“It is a lot of effort to organize these things,” said Livernois. “The parents buy in, the play-ers buy in, the athletic director and training staff do a great job and the coaches buy in. I think it takes all those pieces to work.”

Livernois said an-other major key is the strong JV program, and he felt that no-body is more deserv-ing than Archibald for this award for the third straight season.

“Kevin goes to every one of my practices,” Livernois said, adding that Livernois and Le-doux have been fixtures on the team for nearly a decade. “Typically, we practice Tuesdays and Thursdays and he al-ways has the early prac-tices. So, he does that and stays and does my practice with me. It is a good system and part of why we are successful.”

Three Raider coaches earn D3 honors

COACHESCONTINUED FROM PAGE B1

BELMONT — The Belmont soccer teams were among the best in Division 3 and much of this was due to some great word on the side-lines. Belmont boys’ soc-cer coach Mike Foley and JV coach Bill Brace, and girls’ soccer coach Mark Dawalga were awarded coach of the year honors for the second consecu-tive year.

For Foley, this is his fifth overall coach of the year award and he said it is always humbling and surprising.

“I was truly surprised and I thought there were other coaches in the di-vision who had better years, but this is a big honor,” said Foley. “To see the fellow coaches feel highly of the program and the work that we’ve done is a great thing. It was unexpected.”

The boys’ soccer team went undefeated in the regular season and just missed making it to the finals. Belmont went to the semifinals and lost

to eventual state cham-pion Campbell in penalty kicks after a being score-less in regulation.

It was a battle all sea-son with Belmont and Campbell. Earlier in the regular season Bel-mont and Campbell tied 1-1. Foley said the team started off very slow and were like “deer caught in headlights,” but from a coaching standpoint he felt this might have been his best game. Late in the game he changed things up to give the team a lit-tle extra offensive attack to tie the game with three minutes left.

“As a coach, you can truly impact a game and this was one of those in-game decisions,” said Foley.

The best game played all year, he said, was against Prospect Moun-tain in the second to last game of the season where the Red Raiders came away with a convincing 5-0 win. He said the team went in knowing they needed to bring their “A game” and they fired on all cylinders.

“The way we played that day is what a coach would like to mimic on a daily basis,” said Fo-ley. “It was a fun game to watch.

In high school sports, it helps to have a good JV coach and this is the case with Brace in Belmont. With Belmont very se-nior heavy this year, the players being groomed at the JV level will be the ones starting and making plays at the varsity level for years to come. Foley said having Brace in the program has been vital to the team’s success over the past five years.

“The beauty of having him in our program is that I coached both of his sons and Bill was always around,” said Foley. “He really understands what we are trying to do on a day in and day out ba-sis. He is great with the young kids here.”

Brace said it is an hon-or to be recognized by his peers in back-to-back years for his coaching. He said these type of ac-colades show that the program in Belmont is

consistent and that play-ers are willing to work hard to improve as a group.

“I continue to work with coach Foley to bring the varsity philosophy to the JV level,” said Brace.

Brace said the best game of the season for his squad was against St. Thomas in the final game. Belmont played the game with only one substitute and everyone

on the team stepped up and played well in a 3-2 victory.

“It really showed how much we had improved as individuals and more important as a team,” said Brace.

Brace said his goals for next year are to con-tinue to work on fun-damentals and to teach incoming freshman and returning players what it takes to be compete at the

varsity level.For the girls’ soccer

team, Dawalga also won his second straight coach of the year award. He echoed the comments of Foley and Brace, saying it is an honor and also a surprise. Dawalga added that this type of coaching is what Belmont soccer is all about.

“These awards are team awards and I strongly believe that,” Dawalga said. “It rep-resents the quality of kids we’ve been very important to have in our program the last couple years. The credit really goes to them. We have a lot of great coaches in D-3 so, for me, I’m very hon-ored.”

The Red Raiders were the number one seed in the state tournament and had a 13-3-1 record overall. The team lost to Raymond in the quarter-finals.

Throughout the sea-son, Belmont had to deal with adversity with key players like Katie Delisle going down with inju-ries, and how to switch up the lineup according-ly. This is not always easy to do as a coach and for the players involved, but he was proud of how his players responded.

A game that stands out to Dawalga is a game against Campbell, which followed a tough loss against Inter-Lakes. It was a 1-0 overtime win with a team that was shorthanded due to sick-nesses and injuries.

“I think that was a turning point for the group,” said Dawalga. “It was a big turnaround.”
