Barnstead voters pass PMHS teachers’ contractAfter much discussion, two-year contract earns 63-42 passageBY CATHY ALLYN
Contributing Writer
BARNSTEAD — More than 100 people turned out for Barn-
stead’s School District meeting on Saturday; primarily, it seemed, to discuss Article 11 re-garding the Prospect
Mountain High School (PMHS) teachers’ con-tract.
A small cluster of sup-porters, gathered at the
school’s front prior to the meeting’s start, in-dicated they had heard there would be opposi-tion.
The body practically sailed through the first 10 articles, before hit-ting the long debate on the proposed two-year contract, and the arti-cle’s ultimate passage in a secret ballot vote of 63 to 42.
A tax impact of $0.14 reflects Barnstead’s 45.94 percent share of the col-lective bargaining agree-ment total of a $146,186 increase in salaries and benefits from September 2015 to August 2017. Al-ton approved its share of the cost items at the polls on March 10.
The contract calls for an increased 14 percent contribution to health insurance on the teach-ers’ parts, as well as two additional instruction-al days and a reduction in insurance buy back from $2,000 to $1,000.
The body voted 57 to 30 to allow non-resi-dents to speak and Vicky Sweezy, president of the PMHS Teachers’ Association, explained the increase. She said the teachers have been
frozen five steps below where they belong in the step and track system. The steps correlate to years’ experience and the track, to level of edu-cation.
“We’re significantly lower,” she stated, “and there are inequalities.” She noted that new hires are put on the proper step, so, in some cases, “those with less expe-rience are being paid more.”
Sweezy said the in-creases would be put into effect incrementally “to lessen the impact.”
PMHS employee Mi-chael Ranaldi said he’d rather turn down his own raise to support this article. He listed accom-plishments of teachers and students at PMHS and extolled the teach-ers’ dedication.
“These are your teachers working with your kids weekends and late at night.” He said stipends they receive for additional activities did not cover the amount of time they expended.
One resident re-marked that the Joint Management Agree-ment has been a “po-litical rocky road,” but there was unity and spirit at the high school. “While we’ve been argu-ing, the teachers have been creating pride,” she said. “It’s time to support them.”
Judy Chase said she saw passage of the arti-cle as “an investment. The teachers motivate the kids to do their best.”
The Barnstead Bud-get Committee did not recommend the article. Paul Landry of the Bud-get Committee said the vote was one in favor and five opposed. “We have nothing against the teachers,” he stressed, “but we preferred a three-year contract to lessen the impact.”
Andrea Caruso said she had served on the negotiating team. “Our teachers are $3,000 or $4,000 below the state av-erage,” she said.
Mary Clark said no one was disputing the teachers’ dedication, but she asked that voters consider “the total tax rate.”
Budget Commit-tee member William Haynes said the contract is “too much, too fast.” He said that healthcare costs had increased ev-ery year and “the resi-dents absorbed that, so the teachers were com-pensated.”
He told the body that this negotiating team was the “best we’ve seen. They deserve raises but they need to come back to the table.”
Caruso countered by saying healthcare “stayed the same for two years and one year it went down, so there

Selectmen make changes to public input policyJohnson chosen as chair, LaCourse as vice-chair
BY ELIZABETH CANTRALL
Contributing Writer
ALTON — In the first meeting of the Al-ton Board of Selectmen since March elections, the new board members were welcomed by their fellow board members and by a few citizens in the audience on March 16.
Philip Wittmann and Virgil MacDonald filled the seats formerly held by Marc DeCoff and Dave Hussey.
The new board be-gan by deciding Select-man Cydney Johnson would be the new chair-person and Selectman Lou Lacourse would be vice-chairman of the board.
Town Administrator E. Russell Bailey in-formed the board they had received a request for a blind driveway sign.
Bailey asked the board to consider if they would like to “get into the position of putting up signs about blind
driveways” and suggest-ed the selectmen think about this to discuss at the next meeting.
However, the board did discuss the issue a little and Johnson re-quested the opinions of the highway and police
department be sought regarding if there is a “limiting view” of this driveway.
Selectman R. Loring Carr also requested Bai-ley look into the costs of installing such a sign.
Bailey told the board
the town had the oppor-tunity to purchase up to 10,000 gallons of number 2 oil at $2.22 per gallon with their existing oil provider, AD&G Fuel Company. He highly recommended the board extend the bid with this
company another year.The board of se-
lectmen unanimously agreed to continue with purchasing oil from AD&G.

Breathing more life into Busy CornerMurphys set to open Bear’s Bizzy Corner Store April 1
BY CATHY ALLYN
Contributing Writer
ALTON — On April 1, 1978, John and Cindy Duffek opened the Alton Bay Busy Corner Store. This year, on April 1, the doors will open again as Bear’s Bizzy Corner Store, under the new management of George and Mary Murphy.
The store has changed hands several times in the interim, of course, but it’s now seen as the beginning of a new vi-sion for Alton Bay.
The Murphys and Richard D’Angelo of New State Realty Man-agement LLC plan to re-develop the bay area by purchasing and rehab-
bing several buildings. All dreams start with a first step and Bear’s Bi-zzy Corner Store is just that.
Mary Murphy is spearheading this part of the venture. “The public is so enthusiastic about us doing this that I’m really excited. I can’t go anywhere without
someone stopping me to ask questions about the store.”
A motorcycle enthu-siast, years ago Murphy had been in the area for Bike Week and wanted to give her children the same kind of childhood she’d had in Cape Cod. “I fell in love with a place

New Durham Public Library a busy place in AprilNEW DURHAM —
It’s time to get out of the house and get busy with something other than shoveling. The New Durham Public Library has stuffed April chock full of activities for all ages.
Adults will find lots to do. The Mystery Book Club meets on Wednes-day, April 1, at 7 p.m., dis-cussing Martha Grimes’ first Richard Jury novel, “The Man with a Load of Mischief.” Books are available at the library.
The Book Club will discuss the popular “A Storied Life of A.J. Fikry,” by Gabrielle Zevin on Monday, April 20, at 7 p.m. If you need a copy, the library can supply one.
More cribbage play-ers are always welcome at the ongoing program on Tuesdays at 1 p.m. The friendly games are held in conjunction with the New Durham Parks and Recreation Depart-ment.
A new program is set to launch this month. A play reading group will meet Wednesday, April 15, and for the follow-ing two Wednesdays, to enjoy the hilarious Neil Simon favorite “Califor-nia Suite.”
“The troupe will find its own momentum,” Children’s Librarian Cathy Allyn said, “and hammer out its own de-cisions.”
The general vision is light reading and dis-cussion with snacks the first week, watching the movie of the chosen play the second, and another reading, perhaps with a pot-luck supper, for the
third.“It’s completely
non-judgmental,” said a prospective member, “and is just for enjoy-ment.”
The format may change, also, as mem-bers provide input. Those interested in reading and those who would enjoy being spec-tators are invited to at-tend. No memorization, props, or movement – just fun.
Eating also figures in the long awaited Edible Book Fair, an annual event at the library that is normally held in No-vember. This year con-testants of all ages can whip up their literary fare for judging at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 18.
“Choose an edible en-try that puns on a book title, or copies the cover, or looks like a charac-ter,” Library Director Max Wirestone said. “The public is invited to judge and then eat the
culinary efforts.”It’s a good idea to let
the library know ahead of time what the title of your entrée is, so staff can get a copy of the book to display. As usu-al, there will be separate categories for adults and children.
The afterschool time slot of 3:45 – 4:45 p.m. is a busy period at the li-brary in April. Students in grades three through six can register for craft classes on April 6, 13 and 20, and kids of all ages are welcome to come play Pokemon on April 21. On Earth Day, April 22, everyone is encour-aged to dress up for a Fancy Nancy Earth Day Party that will feature an edible craft.
The much younger set will enjoy the ongo-ing Storytime program on Thursday mornings at 11 a.m. Children from three months to five years old take part in songs, rhymes, para-
chute activities, stories and crafts.
On Tuesdays in April at 11 a.m., Freedom of Movement provides pre-dance, songs, coordinat-ed movement, wiggle time, and yoga for kids
from three to five.The Friends of the
Library, the non-profit fundraising group that helps ensure such pro-grams can be provided, will meet April 21 at 7 p.m. Anyone with an
interest in the library is encouraged to attend.
Call the library at 859-2201 for more informa-tion or to register for the craft classes or Fancy Nancy Earth Day Party. All events are free.

Rotary hears from PMHS music departmentALTON — Robert
Cullison, Superinten-dent of Prospect Moun-tain High School has held a monthly busi-ness roundtable to en-courage community in-volvement. Each month different academic department heads or administrative leaders have the opportunity to share information about the course offerings and school organization available to high school students at Prospect Mountain High School. On Thursday, March 19, the business roundtable was held at the Pearson Road Community / Se-nior Center in Alton as guests of Alton Rotary.
The focus of the meet-ing was a presentation by Tom Stevens, Music Department Director at PMHS and six students representing the key elements of the course offerings including the concert band, jazz band, marching band, chorus, select choir and drama. Stevens was recognized in 2014 as the outstand-ing Music Teacher of the Year at the Eddies Cele-bration. There are cur-rently 75 students who play instruments and participate in the band and 60 students current-ly singing in the chorus. Stevens is very proud of the accomplishment of his students. Students are allowed to personal-ize their education and fully develop their skills and talents. This ap-proach to music educa-tion reflects the mission statement of Prospect Mountain High School. The six students present-ed their areas of study in the music department.
Jacob Donahue is a sophomore who partici-pates in the Select Choir. Auditions are held and students who are select-ed know that they will be challenged to improve and commit to the rig-ors of intense practice. This choir performs at workshops and sings a cappella without instru-mental accompaniment in an event known as the Voices of 603.
Jacob Bartolin is a se-nior. He has participat-ed in the school chorus for three years and also plays the trombone. He explained that he and other students as well as some of the teachers at PMHS have produced a holiday album. The sales of these albums benefit-ed the Rochester Chil-dren’s Home. The school is fortunate to have
professional recording equipment and Barto-lin’s studies involve recording, editing and burning the final discs.
Olivia Gubitose is a member of the junior class. She has participat-ed in chorus for the past three years. She also au-ditioned and was chosen to be part of the select choir. She shared her ex-perience performing at the Great East Festival, which is a very big show. Gubitose will appear as Dorothy in the PMHS Drama performance of the Wizard of Oz on March 26, 27 and 28. She has enjoyed rehearsals that also involve work-ing with the pit crew and the cast. Students from the elementary schools in Barnstead and Al-ton will perform as the Munchkins.
Olivia Shelton is a se-nior. She has played the alto sax for four years. She explained that six out of seven of her class-es this semester take place in the music room. She recently played in a sax quartet between poets at the Poetry Out Loud event. Shelton performs in the band in the winter and spring concerts and has also enjoyed playing in the Making Strides Walk in Concord. She has not made her final decision about continuing educa-tion.
Tina Dagostino is a senior. She has played the clarinet for the past four years in the con-cert band. She also plays alto saxophone in the jazz band and also likes working one-on-one in practice sessions. She is a member of the pep band, which performs at basketball games. The games begin after the live performance of the National Anthem. The pep band puts on a show at halftime. During the holiday season, she en-joys playing Christmas carols. She has the hon-or of being a section leader and gets to help kids learn how to play a band selection just right. She has performed at the Lakes Region Festival at Winnisquam, at the All New England Band Fes-tival and at the Universi-ty of Massachusetts Hon-ors Band Festival with students participating from all of the New En-gland states. She plans to attend Plymouth State University and will study music education.
Hailey Kelley will also attend Plymouth State

She is a senior who has played tenor sax for the past four years. She has been the drum major for the past three years and directs the march-ing band. She has at-tended band camps and the marching show in Dover as well as partic-ipating in the Memorial Day Parade in both Al-ton and Barnstead. Kel-
ley likes the competition at marching shows as it becomes an opportunity for her to better herself. Another outcome is the bonding experience with other members of the band. She is a mem-ber of the Tri M Music Honor Society. She has played for the senior cit-izens. She likes it when the elementary students are invited to PMHS to see what is involved in
band and chorus. Kelley enjoys her music theory class as she gets a better understanding of why things work and don’t work in music. She has had the experience of making an arrangement for a song and listening as the band gets to play her arrangement.
Superintendent Culli-son had the final remark. He noted that the mu-sic department is very
humble. They have won many awards over the years under the leader-ship of Stevens. Cullison is proud that students at PMHS are able to take college level Advanced Placement music course work. The Alton Rotary voted to award Stevens and the music depart-ment at PMHS a $100 stipend to fund an extra project with a group of students.

OpinionOpinionOpinionWhat people have to say
There’s been much made about Alton resi-dent Jeffrey Clay’s arrest at a board of select-men’s meeting earlier this year.
With our limited resources on the reporter front, we had to make a choice to cover one of two meetings that night and chose a different meeting, so we didn’t have a presence at said meeting.
So, to speak either way about this incident would be doing so only viewing it second hand or hearing someone else’s account of the incident.
We do know that Mr. Clay used the public input time to rail against the selectmen for what he believed were violations of the right to know laws. We know that after he was cut off by the selectmen, he was arrested by Po-lice Chief Ryan Heath.
However, if there were other circumstanc-es involved, we don’t know.
However, while we don’t always agree with Mr. Clay, we believe he has a point that he should be allowed to speak in public input, just like any other resident. Residents are giv-en a specific amount of time to speak and he did not go over that time limit.
We also understand where the selectmen were coming from. Hearing someone rail against you and all the work that you’ve done for a community can be maddening and very frustrating. Sadly, this is what public ser-vice has come to. Everybody has the right to speak their mind and they often take it out on those who they believe have done them wrong in government. Of course, this proba-bly explains why fewer and fewer people step up and run for public office. Who wants to be subjected to the accusations of every per-son who doesn’t agree with a decision you’ve helped to make? Nobody.
So when the selectmen got upset listening to Mr. Clay rail against them, it’s understand-able. But, being in public office requires one to have thick skin. Sadly, this becomes more and more true every year.
However, the latest move by the selectmen to limit the public input to items on the agen-da at the meeting seems like a step too far, at least in our minds.
Yes, residents who want to speak about something not on the agenda can write to the town administrator and receive permission, but this could make things difficult, especial-ly when dealing with a new issue. Any situ-ation that a resident feels needs addressing should be able to be brought forward to the selectmen at one of their public meetings. Af-ter all, they are public meetings.
We completely understand that the select-men don’t want to hear a resident stand in front of them and berate their decisions every other Monday night. Nobody would want to face that. And we understand there needs to be order in the meetings.
But limiting the discussion to items on the agenda chips away at a resident’s right to ask a question about a town policy or address road concerns or police issues. The select-men are elected to be the voice of the people, but without a standard public input portion of the meeting, it’s tough for the selectmen to hear what the people want to say.
Obviously, we don’t believe residents have a right to make personal attacks on the select-men, but we do believe they have a right to dis-cuss town issues with those they elected.

To the Editor:I was pleased to see the majority of voters elect
Mr. Phil Wittmann for Alton selectman. Now the majority needs to continue supporting him by vot-ing for ways to reduce unnecessary spending and regulations.
Too many elected officials seem to have an arro-gant sense of power over people. A video of the Feb. 3, Alton selectmen public meeting is an example of this. During public session, the Alton selectmen present at the meeting did not like hearing an opin-ion of a resident who believes the board violates the Right to Know Law and stated that the board mem-bers should resign. Almost immediately after stating his opinion, the selectboard exercised "power" by demanding that he stop talking and quickly had the person arrested before his allotted time was up. The person talked in a frank manner but showed no act of violent behavior.
The "Right to Know Law" Chapter 91-A starts by saying, "Openness in the conduct of public business is essential to a democratic society. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure both the greatest possible public access to the actions, discussions and records of all public bodies, and their accountability to the people."
Alton selectmen regularly met at what they call "workshops." The use of the word workshop is de-ceiving. The meetings might technically adhere to the wording of the "Right to Know Law" by posting the place and time of the workshop 24 hours prior
to the meeting but they can be used to circumvent the intentions of the Right to Know Law. The Alton workshops took place in a small room almost never attended by anyone except the selectmen and town administrator. The administrator was actively in-volved in the discussions and wrote the meeting minutes without an audio or video recording. Many subjects were discussed and voted on at these work-shops including the Alton town budget.
Selectmen should call all meetings “public meet-ings" to discuss and vote on essentially all town matters. Using other words to label a meeting could imply that the public is not invited. The meeting discussion should be limited to matters on a post-ed agenda, minutes should be written by a person knowledgeable about properly taking impartial min-utes, they should be audio or video recorded and the recordings should be made easily available to the public. The current law allows for non-public meet-ings only under certain special circumstances.
The majority of voters did approve a Warrant Ar-ticle in the 2014 election to purchase an audio record-ing device for the purpose of audio recording these "workshops" and other meetings. Small easy to use digital audio recorders cost under 100 dollars, are clear to understand and include software to label and manage the recordings easily. After a year has passed, whether the workshops were audio recorded as intended is questionable.
Robert DanielsAlton
To the Editor:After seeing what happened at the March 16 select-
man's meeting, I feel compelled to write this letter. Loring Carr put a motion to restrict all public input to subjects that are on the agenda for that meeting. The vote was 4 to 1 to pass the motion, with Mr. Wittmann the only no vote. When I questioned this rule change, I was told that public input was a privilege, not a right, and could be taken away at any time. Starting imme-diately, we, the citizens of Alton, must write a letter to the town administrator to get permission to speak on subjects other than what is on the agenda. "Pub-lic participation in the board’s regular meetings is a privilege that the board has adopted in order to assure
that persons who wish to appear before the board and bring matters to its attention may be heard."
This statement is written in the rules governing selectman's meetings from the town web site. I feel it is our right and duty to speak; it should not be a priv-ilege given by the people we elect to represent us. If we do not have the right to free speech, what do we have left?
I feel it is time for the citizens of Alton to call for a public meeting of select board to change this state-ment from privilege to speak to right to speak on any subject.

To the Editor:Now that the "good people" of Alton have allowed
a few "squeaky wheel" individuals to disrespect and undermine the authority of the school leaders most responsible for the physical, emotional, intellectual, social and moral development of their children, by calling into question their values and their ability to do their job, let's just imagine some of the situa-tions Associate Principal Linda Wilman and her staff might encounter during an average 12-hour school day. (Do parents really believe that school begins at 8:30 and ends at 3 for the single individual most re-sponsible for the success and safety of every student and staff member at Alton Central School? If I only knew how to conspire to be in such a thankless posi-tion.)

A history lessonBY KRISTIN STEARNS
Alton
The motto of Prospect Mountain High School (PMHS) is “to personal-ize education in order to maximize individual success.” It is posted on the wall of every class-room at PMHS. It is also quoted in the first paragraph of the recent School of Excellence Es-say submission recently written and submitted by Principal Fitzpatrick and posted on the PMHS web site. As a point of reference, the essay also mentions the History Club first in the list of the “40 co-curricular clubs and organizations” that “makes sure that every student feels a sense of belonging and respect.”
My son Gary is a ju-nior at PMHS and has been a member of the History Club since his freshman year. Not nor-mally one to “put himself out there,” he actually ran for and was elected president of the club this year. He is currently in several history classes, has taken numerous electives in that area of study and plans to be-come a history teacher. Gary has collected an extensive amount of ar-tifacts and reference ma-terials toward that end. Several family trips have been centered around places of historical inter-est and he has a family legacy of extensive ge-nealogical research. He has also volunteered ex-tensively at the Wright Museum. His passion for the subject and the History Club was recog-nized by three outgoing seniors last year when they each bequeathed their interest and hopes for the future of the club to Gary. Mr. Bingham and Mr. Folan have been invaluable in sharing their passion and exten-sive knowledge with all of their history students and have been part of the inspiration for Gary and other future history teachers.
A couple of months ago, the annual PMHS History Club Spring Field Trip information sheet was released (I have a copy in front of me at this writing). It states among other things that, “As of January 31, I cur-rently have 35 students signed up who have checked their schedules, know the costs….” It also mentions “U.S. Grant’s
1864 Overland Cam-paign 150th Anniversa-ry.” Since the release of that sheet, history has changed. Here’s where I am getting conflicting stories on the history of the decision to not per-mit the approximately 15 junior class members to attend the field trip. I have approached Mr. Fitzpatrick, Superinten-dent Cullison and the PMHS school board to reverse this decision.
The SATs will be administered at the school’s expense on the Friday that the History Club is to leave for the trip, May 16. Mr. Fitz-patrick has informed me that, “we need to make numbers of attendance as close to 100 percent as possible to prove to the state that this is the way the test should be admin-istered going forward.” I offered to pay for Gary’s test myself and that was not acceptable. If “the gate was opened, all the juniors might go and affect the numbers.” I asked Superintendent Cullison if this was to be a mandatory test and was assured that it was not, legally it couldn’t be. I posed that to Principal Fitzpatrick and was told that it is a school admin-istrative (“his”) decision and he was basically making it mandatory. When I attended the March 3 PMHS School Board meeting, it was shared by Superinten-dent Cullison that N.H. will be going forward with this mode of testing state-wide and be used as the new benchmark starting next year, re-gardless of the numbers this year. So my ques-tion is: “How valid is ‘the need to make numbers?’”
When I attended the March 3 school board meeting to express my concern and request that the juniors be allowed to go if they so choose, I was informed that it was left up to the prin-cipal and that the board would be “micromanag-ing” if they got involved. Mr. Fitzpatrick also in-formed the board that cutting the large number of students taking these History Club field trips was discussed last year. (How did they know the numbers would be so high at that point?) He also informed the board that this year the juniors would not be allowed to go as he wanted them
there to make numbers, but in the following years the juniors and seniors would be the only ones allowed to go. That seems to be setting a precedent of the princi-pal micromanaging the History Club. I have to thank one school board member for noting that the whole issue did not have transparency and that she was concerned by that. The issue was tabled until the public session was closed. I have not heard anything further about the matter.
The need to “cut num-bers” from the group of 35 was also expressed by Principal Fitzpatrick. He is “concerned about the safety of a large group”
as expressed during the March 3 meeting. Again, there are numer-ous precedents of even larger groups attending senior class trips, cho-rus trips to Florida and various other club trips. Wouldn’t it make more sense to allow the junior and senior members and History Club offi-cers to attend instead of the sophomores? Better yet, base the attendance on the field trip permis-sion precedents, look at grades, attendance, signed permission slips, involvement on said club, fund-raising, etc.? How about involving the History Club in a work-ing model of the demo-cratic process and hav-
ing them work out a vote or system of regulation and decision-making on how to “cut numbers?”
I have offered to chaperone, drive what-ever vehicle necessary, contribute money and anything else needed to help accommodate a large group. I have helped chaperone a His-tory Club trip to the same area two years ago and was very impressed by Mr. Bingham’s vast knowledge and gifted teaching and the behav-ior and responsibility of the students.
Another point, I was told by Mr. Fitzpatrick “don’t take this deci-sion personally.” My response to that is that
I wish I could believe that the motto that he so proudly quotes is ap-plicable to this situation and was made to fulfill the “personalization” of my student and the oth-er members of the junior class. I will be invoking my parental right and supporting my student’s right to take the SAT at his choice of times and will be taking Friday, May 16, to personalize Gary’s education. It’s the principle of the matter.
In conclusion, I would ask that if anyone else sees a need for this de-cision to be reversed, please contact the school administration and, for what it might be worth, the PMHS School Board.

Letters to the Editor Continuedn
To the Editor:Barnstead voters, thank you to those who voted
in the election and a special thank you to those who supported me in my unsuccessful bid for reelection to the budget committee. After 13 years on the bud-get committee, I will miss the meetings, discussion and trying to be sure all parties’ interest have been considered. I hope to be back next year to run again.
I would like to know why we have such a low turn-out? Of the over 3,000 registered voters only 375 voted
at the election, 110 voted at Town Meeting and 105 voted at the School District Meeting, spending al-most 15 million dollars. These two meetings will add roughly $2.50 per thousand to our tax rate. Please whomever you vote for just get out there and become involved so that these decisions are made by more than 10 percent of the voters.
Thank you for your support.Bruce GreyBarnstead
To the Editor:When left alone, communities with the ambition
and resources to prosper are more likely to provide a warm habitat for their townspeople to thrive. Supe-rior local control of municipal development allows ambitious communities to enrich their populations’ lives with better schools, safer neighborhoods and a feast of public services. Unsuspecting local politi-cians can fall prey to programs with an ulterior agen-da. Regional planning is the wolf in sheep’s clothing. One philosophy pulsates in the microscopic little brain of the socialist-leaning planner. Your econom-
ic advantages, whether hereditary or self-made, is unfair. That hatred of capitalism is the principle on which all their rhetoric pivots on. They want to re-distribute the wealth. Their aim is to reduce social and economic disparities for the low-income, mi-nority communities and other disadvantaged popu-lations within a region. How is this achieved? The cycle begins by tightening their grip on local plan-ning decisions. By controlling the local planning de-cisions they control your property and thus, you.

To the Editor:Benjamin Netanyahu’s no to a Palestinian state,
which he personally announced during his election campaign for Prime Minister (PM) of Israel on March 17, is a startling admission that he has been lying to us all along about his true intentions for the establish-ment of a Palestinian state in the Middle East. It’s been an outright lie.
This PM’s actions during his Israeli election cam-paign has shown the world that despite peace nego-tiation efforts over all the years by all of our world diplomats, from the US, Great Britain and the United Nations, our efforts with Israel have been totally wast-ed.
The irony in all of this, is that Prime Minister Ne-tanyahu’s refusal to negotiate on Palestine or on the Iranian nuclear issue has shown him to has been the single greatest obstacle to peace in the core conflicts which have arisen in the Middle East.
In short, the American people and our Israeli lobby influenced right wing members of Congress have been led by the nose and publicly duped by this hawkish PM’s own prime directives, which have run counter to our US foreign policy and peace efforts.
It is my opinion that the only US leverage that can be used to control this Israeli PM’s nos and his stubborn insistence on plunging the
United States and the rest of the world into more wars, is to deny him the financial resources to continue his behavior.
Ironically, our US taxpayer paid foreign aid pack-age to Israel of about 3.1 billion dollars per year under the guise of security for the state of Israel, has become a blank check for this PM’s fund sourcing for increased military expansions of Israeli settlements into occu-pied territories and apartheid against the Palestinian people.
If Israelis truly believe that historically their clos-est ally in the Middle East has been the USA then they should be able to accept the fact that for the United States own foreign policies to work, the Israeli cart cannot be placed before the US horse. On the contrary, for a good alliance to exist, the US horse must be placed before the Israeli cart.
Israelis should understand that their own PM’s hawkish war like policies have not proven to be the best foreign policies for the United States as an ally to blindly follow. It should be understood, that the annual free tax money from US taxpayers in the form of $3.1 billion in a guaranteed foreign defense package to Isra-el is for that purpose alone, and not to be used for pro-

Vicky, now that’s a nice nameBY VIVIAN LEE DION
Contributing Writer
My high school biolo-gy teacher, Mr. Bechard, couldn’t remember my name, and constantly called me Vicky. I hadn’t thought of that for years until I met a lady named Vicky. She is a native Io-wan who is the epitome of a Midwestern wom-an, which means she is focused, hardworking, energetic and lives on a farm. Her farm produc-es corn and soybeans. As Vicky tells the back-story of her name, my heart fills with pride and patriotism. I will never be disappointed in the name Vicky, again.
Born on Aug. 14, 1945 a young mother holds her newborn daughter for the first time and learns that WWII is fi-nally over. (“The day of Japan’s surrender is Aug. 15, but due to time zone differences, in the United States the an-nouncement was made on Aug. 14 to America and Eastern Pacific Is-lands”… from Wikipe-dia, Victory Over Japan Day). Lovingly swad-dling her newborn, the young mother knew that this is an historic day. She decides to honor the event and birth of her daughter by naming her child, Victory. Through-out her life, the child is called Vicky and near-ly 70 years have passed since America glorious-ly celebrated the end of World War II.
The National WWII Museum describes America’s celebration this way, “From the mil-lions in Times Square to the hundreds in main streets everywhere peo-ple celebrated the mo-ment. Friends, relatives and total strangers sang, danced, and embraced.
They had worked, fought, sacrificed, and suffered together and now the end had come at last. The war was finally over.”
Events in our nation’s capital were written as follows, “In Washing-ton, soldiers formed a human ring around the White House gates as the crowd shouted; “We want Harry!” President Truman finally came out and acknowledged them by saying; this is a great day for democra-cy.”
Just as America became united in its celebration, the little newborn bonded deep-ly with her mother. As time passed Vicky learned the value of fam-ily, friendship and fel-lowship. With six chil-dren in the family, three girls and three boys, everyone helped run the family farm. They were active in 4-H, and opti-mized the slogan, which is “Learn by Doing.” Vicky and her siblings followed the guidelines of 4-H, the “learn-by-do-ing approach enables youth to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to become competent, car-ing and contributing citizens of the world. This mission is accom-plished by using the knowledge and resourc-es of the land-grant uni-versity system, along with the involvement of caring adults. At 4-H club meetings and oth-er 4-H events, 4-H mem-bers recite the Pledge of Allegiance and this 4-H pledge: “I pledge my Head to clearer think-ing, my Heart to great-er loyalty, my Hands to larger service, and my Health to better living, for my club, my commu-
nity, my country, and my world.”
Here’s to you Vicky, and to your patriotic mother who named you in honor of America’s victory. You are a true
Iowan, raised in Amer-ica’s heartland with character, respect and compassion. Your en-ergy, deep work ethic, and pride in America was etched in your soul
during your formative years by being involved in 4-H. Now, when I hear the name Vicky I’ll think of you, and forgive Mr. Bechard for not re-membering my name
when he said, “Have a great spring vacation, Vicky.”

MISS CASEWELL (Emily Marsh) and Christopher Wren (Danny Catalano) are two of the guests at Monkswell Manor during the Village Players’ production of The Mousetrap.
WOLFEBORO — As April looms around the corner, the Village Players Theater has been busy with action as eight actors prepare to take the stage for the spring production of The Mousetrap.
The Agatha Christie
classic is the longest running play in history and the Village Players are celebrating Agatha Christie’s 125th anni-versary by bringing the murder mystery to the Wolfeboro stage.
Director Cate Poole and assistant director
Jay Sydow of Alton have been working with the actors since Janu-ary, fine-tuning the per-formances as opening night gets nearer.
The cast includes a number of Village Play-ers veterans, as well as some who are relatively
new to the group. The show takes place
in Monkswell Manor, a guesthouse run by Mol-lie (Mara Lamb) and Giles Ralson (Steve Bur-gess). In fact, the young couple have just opened guesthouse as the audi-ence looks in on their living room. Lamb made her Village Players de-but in last summer’s Caught in the Net, while Burgess is returning to the stage after perform-ing in A Christmas Sto-ry.
With a snowstorm blowing outside, the Ralstons wonder about what their guests will be like. They have no idea that there will be a lot more to wonder about in just a few short hours.
The first guest to arrive is Christopher Wren, who Mollie im-mediately takes a liking to, though her husband isn’t as much of a fan. Danny Catalano, who most recently was a Wickersham Brother in the fall production of Se-ussical, brings the char-acter of Wren to life.
Shortly after, Mrs. Boyle and Major Met-
calf arrive. The former is less than impressed with the Ralstons and their new guesthouse, while the latter seems to have no problems with Monkswell Manor. Village Players veteran Helen Rautenberg por-trays the irritating Mrs. Boyle, while Brooks Campbell, who returned to the stage as Vlad Vla-dikoff in Seussical, por-trays Major Metcalf.
Emily Marsh, who like Catalano was a Wickersham Brother in Suessical, portrays the next guest to ar-rive, Miss Casewell. Miss Casewell comes across as very mascu-line, enough that Giles even questions if she is a woman, but she also reveals many tales of her youth that can’t be ignored.
While the four guests are all that the Ralstons are expecting, the door-bell rings again and Mr. Paravicini arrives. The mysterious foreigner seems to have appeared out of the snow, claim-ing his car had gone off the road. With very little baggage, the unex-
pected visitor raises a few eyebrows from his fellow lodgers. Veteran Village Players actor Er-nie Bass, who brought tons of laughs as Stan-ley in Caught in the Net, brings Paravicini to life.
However, things are just getting heated up, as Detective Sergeant Trot-ter arrives investigating a murder. Drew Collins, new to the Village Play-ers but not to the stage after many years with Perform It, plays the young detective.
As the snowstorm rages on, murder takes center stage and every-one is a suspect. Do you know who is guilty? All will be revealed in the end, but don’t spoil the ending for others.
The Mousetrap will take the stage on April 10, 11, 17 and 18 at 8 p.m. and on Sunday, April 19, at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at Black’s Pa-per and Gifts in down-town Wolfeboro or at village-players.com.
The production is sponsored in part by William M. Marsh MD and Eastern Oil and Pro-pane.

THE BAYSIDER, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 2015 A10
were not five years of in-creases.”
Dan Young said that teachers were looking for raises, while other people’s pay was being cut. “We’re not a rich town,” he pointed out. “My pay has gone down by half.”
Article 17, regarding the PMHS operating budget, also generated lengthy discussion. The school board recom-mended a slightly higher amount than the budget committee’s $11,747,426, to cover a part-time cus-todian’s transition to full–time and for elec-trical and plumbing re-pairs.
Confusion reigned briefly as Paul Landry’s amendment to vote the budget commit-tee’s figure, reduced by the amount passed in Article 7, and school board member Eunice Landry’s amendment recommending the school board’s figure seemed to be on the floor
simultaneously. The school board’s
position was that there was insufficient custo-dial coverage. Haynes argued that the date provided was not a “con-crete justification. It could be a management issue.” He added that the school had a habit of increasing part time em-ployees to full time.
The article ultimately passed with the budget committee’s amended figure of $11,728,131.
Other articles tied to Alton’s vote that passed included article eight, adding $20,000 (repre-senting 50 percent as Barnstead’s share) to the PMHS general mainte-nance Capital Reserve Fund (CRF); article nine, adding $38,195.78 (50 per-cent) from the fund bal-ance to the PMHS gen-eral maintenance CRF; and article 10, adding $10,000 (50 percent) to the PMHS athletic field CRF.
Article three to in-stall a metal roof on PMHS could not move forward as it required
both districts to pass it. Although Alton defeated the article, a non-bind-ing straw poll indicated strong support in Barn-stead.
Article 13, establish-ing a contingency fund to meet unanticipat-ed utility expenses at PMHS was passed over as it failed in Alton.
There was no need to consider article 12, as it authorized a special meeting if the collective bargaining agreement was defeated.
Many articles passed unanimously with little or no discussion. Attend-ees stood for a moment of silence in memory of former school board member Maureen Fitz-patrick as part of article one, to hear reports. Ar-ticle two, fixing salaries of the school board and compensation of other district officers; arti-cle four, supporting the Barnstead Elementary School (BES) lunch pro-gram; article five, estab-lishing a contingency fund to meet the cost of unanticipated utility ex-
penses at BES because of the volatility of oil and electricity prices; and ar-ticle 14, regarding fund-ing of grant programs generated no discussion.
Article six, adding $125,000 from the fund balance to the building maintenance fund; ar-ticle 15, discontinuing the Gifted and Talented Expendable Trust Fund, and article 16, appropri-ating $31,200 to contract for a schematic design all passed with slight op-position.
Regarding article 15, BES Principal Tim Rice said the GATES en-richment program was phased out years ago and curriculum at the school has changed to in-clude extra instruction during school.
The money in the expendable trust fund could be used only for the defunct program, and cannot be used for the afterschool Bridges program.
Michelle Rosado of the Space Needs Com-mittee spoke to article 16. “We need a conver-
sation with an architect so we can come back to the public with a couple of conceptual designs.” She said a major issue is the lack of a proper gym-nasium.
Bruce Grey said a gymnasium with chang-ing rooms could “bring in tournaments and make money.” He said a design would let the pub-lic “know what we’re looking at” regarding construction on the site.
Article 18, a peti-tioned warrant article to lease the Hannah Nutter property for gravel and sand extraction and for public recreational uses, failed. It also failed at Town Meeting.
David Allen brought up the fact that the board of selectmen asked the school board to meet to discuss the matter. He said a big issue for the Master Plan was to “see boards in town work-ing collaboratively.” He added that the land in question belongs to the townspeople, not the school board.
“The school board re-
fused to meet with the board of selectmen,” he said, “which was ir-responsible. It was a missed opportunity to make everything work better and reduce costs.”
School board member Eunice Landry apolo-gized, but said the board discussed the issue and responded to the select-men. “We expressed our concerns about the lack of a plan.”
At the end of the meeting, Grey asked that the actual votes on the budget committee and school board’s rec-ommendations be noted on the warrant. School Board Chair Diane Bei-jer said the board would look into doing that for next year.
Allen noted it is an unfair system that al-lows for someone earn-ing half his previous pay to handle increases in property taxes. He asked all boards in town to think about the fact that, “We shouldn’t have to work in a box that ben-efits those with the most money.”
BARNSTEADCONTINUED FROM PAGE A1
putCarr suggested the
board modify its public input policy to state res-idents may only discuss the items that are on the agenda for that eve-ning’s meeting.
If a resident would like to discuss some-thing else they would need to have it put on the agenda, write a let-ter to Bailey, or make an appointment to speak with the selectmen.
Johnson also suggest-ed the board change the public input policy to guard against “slander” at meetings.
The board approved these changes with a 4-1 vote. Wittmann was the lone selectmen against these changes.
When public input was opened toward the end of the meeting, those present spoke out against this change.
Resident Don Klee-berg noted how “easily” the board was taking away the public’s right to speak.
“If you insist on hav-ing that I guess we are going to have to start writing some letters,” warned Kleeberg.
Alton resident Shei-la Shapleigh asked the board why they want-ed to limit public input and urged them to take the time to explain their
reasoning behind this change to “alleviate misunderstandings.”
The board voted to answer Shapliegh’s questions with an expla-nation.
Johnson explained the RSAs state it is a board meeting in public not with the public and that there was a need to discuss town business in an orderly way and timely manner.
She also noted most people already do make an appointment when they want to discuss an issue not on the agenda.
Carr stated the input on subjects over which the board has no control has “escalated.”
LaCourse agreed, saying the board does want “input on what we do, but we want it in an orderly fashion.”
However, Wittmann explained his no vote regarding this change in policy.
Wittmann stated he did not think this change was good in terms of public percep-tion.
“I want to hear all I can from the public,” said Wittmann.
MacDonald hoped the board would be able to amend the poli-cy back to open format eventually, but stat-ed the town needed to work some “gray areas” out first.
Johnson said she did
not see this as curtail-ing anyone’s ability to speak, just changing the way they go about it.
SidewalksBailey noted that be-
tween warrant articles 13 and 15, the town had up to $55,000 to spend on sidewalks.
He explained article 13 was a warrant to put aside $35,000 to improve the sidewalks in the bay area only. Article 15 was Capital Reserve money in the amount of $20,000 to be used for sidewalks anywhere in the town.
Bailey suggested the board put it all to use in the bay for now.
MacDonald ques-tioned why the warrant articles didn’t read that all of the sidewalk im-provements would be done in the bay, but Bailey stated the town was not sure before the warrant articles went out of costs due to brick or concrete being used and, therefore, the se-lectmen did not know if the bay was the only area this money would allow them to finish.
The board then dis-cussed the best ways to stretch the money and whether concrete or brick was the better material to use with MacDonald arguing strongly for brick and expressing concern for concrete standing up to salt.
Carr also stated he did not want all of the money to go towards sidewalks in the bay.
Bailey recommend-ed putting together bid specs on existing brick repair and replace or being replaced with concrete for the Route 11 area.
The board gave their consensus to give Bai-ley permission to go ahead with gathering this information.
Landfill monitoringBailey stated the
town had put aside $12,000 through war-rant article 16 toward dealing with the issue of contamination of the landfill.
He reminded the board they had bought the property next door to the landfill four years ago and had put in addi-tional wells.
However water was now getting into the landfill and an engineer has been brought in to correct the wet area by redirecting the water. They are hoping this redirecting of the water will help to reduce con-tamination.
Bailey stated the only costs for the project are expected to be the per-mits.
Senior centerBailey noted at the
Deliberative Session the warrant article for
improvements to the se-nior center was changed from $25,000 to $125,000 and it passed.
He stated this change means the senior center may be completed this year.
Bailey went through the breakdown of finish-ing the building, septic, expanding the parking lot, landscaping and putting a new sign by the entry way.
He acknowledged the “townspeople said yes by voting it in” so he wanted to get the electri-cal and plumbing start-ed with the contractors who had already won bids to do work there.
The board agreed, but wanted some more information regarding the HVAC system and the decision to add one in addition to the old system instead of using one to replace another.
Removal of old gas tankThe board voted to re-
move the gas tank at the highway garage due to infrequent use.
They have found the emergency gas goes bad before being used since the town has access to the state pumps, so the board voted to remove the tank.
Bailey had two bids for removal, one for $5,350 and another for $5,800, but MacDonald did not see the need to pay so much money
for “sliding a tank on a truck.”
Bailey stated he thought there were state guidelines surrounding the removal and he had received the company names from the state, but he would look fur-ther into the matter.
Motorcycle leasesPolice Chief Ryan
Heath met with the board to discuss re-newed leasing of motor-cycles for the year.
Heath explained it is a one-year lease and the town may renew with the bikes they already have or they could lease new bikes for a year with no price difference from the $2,760 per year lease agreement.
He explained since the department already owns all the additional equipment, the transfer of this equipment would be made to the new bikes free of charge.
Also the estimated $125 to $150 it would cost for new decals would be offset by not needing to do oil changes on the new bikes.
The board agreed there was no disadvan-tage to going with new motorcycles and ap-proved leasing them for the coming year.
The Alton Board of Selectmen meets the first and third Monday of each month at 6 p.m. in the town hall.

The Winnipesaukee TalkieGet top dollar for your home: Five helpful hints
BY RANDY HILMAN
Contributing Writer
So, winter is show-ing signs of turning into spring and you’re think-ing again about your plans, the next phase of your life.
You’re ready to act but first you’ll have to sell your house. You’ve been reading and hear-ing that employment is up and the real estate market is recovering nicely following our worst economic reces-sion since the Great De-pression.
Well, things are look-ing up in the Lakes Re-
gion but we’re still in a buyer’s market, mean-ing there is more supply than demand. This con-dition gives buyers the upper hand in deciding whether your home is a worthy candidate for purchase. Buyers are selecting the best values and negotiating prices to their advantage.
If you want to sell your home quickly and for top dollar in our cur-rent market, you’ll have to compete. Here are my five helpful tips that will improve your chances of a sale at the best pos-sible price.
1. Assess your moti-vation to sell: Your mo-tivation is the reason you decided to sell your home. Motivated sellers
are not necessarily des-perate to sell but want to sell quickly and will price a real estate asset to current market con-ditions.
2. Price your property to sell: Price is the mea-sure of your motivation. It’s your value proposi-tion. Real estate buyers are not interested in the amount you paid for your home; how much you’ve invested in it or the amount you insist on receiving from its sale. Trust your agent’s pricing opinion based on competition, quality and your home’s overall appeal. Inflated pricing is bad strategy today.
3. Perform a home inspection: Inspections should be performed
before your home is of-fered for sale. A whole house inspection will point up known and un-known problems, giving you the opportunity to eliminate defects before potential buyers discov-er them. Your Realtor® can recommend quali-fied professionals.
4. Hire a sales pro-fessional committed to you: Have a realtor® sell your home. Wheth-er your agent is fresh, or a seasoned veteran, look first and foremost to knowledge, skill and confident enthusiasm. Your agent should price your home competitive-ly, market and promote your home effectively, explain your net pro-ceeds from different
price point perspectives. The right agent should commit to the sale of your home from start to finish and should offer an unequivocal service guarantee, letting you exit if you become dis-satisfied for any reason.
5. Dump the junk: Clean and freshen your home inside and out. Homes that sparkle fetch the highest pric-es in any market. Curb appeal matters and it should continue into the interior spaces. Tidy the yard, clean the win-dows, wash the house, remove peeling paint, mulch the planting beds.
A house crammed with furnishings and personal items looks
small. Buyers want space. They want to imagine themselves in the space. And, they are finicky about odors, clutter, filth and condi-tion. Aren’t you? Keep kitchens and bathrooms spotless. If your agent suggests a having con-sultation with a home staging professional, do it and follow the advice you’re given.
It is no doubt true that your home has one chance to make a good first impression. You can’t control location, but you can sell your home and for top dollar today if you maximize its positives; eliminate the negatives.

where my kids could build forts and not have to ride bikes in a park-ing lot.”
So she arrived in town in 1997, fresh from col-lege, with a goal of doing something with police departments, hopefully with juvenile offenders because she had a knack with troubled kids.
With two children al-ready, Murphy’s plan to put her minor in crimi-nal justice to work was “paused” by a third pregnancy. Instead, she and her husband at the time started a cabinet business, and then she branched into operating a daycare so she could be home when her kids were young.
A background in food service served her well when she supplemented her income by working at JP China. When a di-vorce was thrown into the mix, the restaurant became even more im-portant to her.
“I offered to purchase the business in 2010,” Murphy said. She took over running it the fol-lowing year, leasing the place until she pur-chased it last July.
The business entails more than just the pop-ular Chinese restau-rant. There are also five apartments and a motel of six rooms on the prop-erty.
“There are things to do,” she understated. “It’s not hard work, but it’s time consuming.”
Her rise to busi-ness owner all sounds straightforward, but it was far, far from that. The deeper story is more telling as to who Mur-
phy is.“When I first moved
here, I had some dire straits and the town helped me out. I told my-self if I was ever in the position to give back, that’s what I would do, and that’s what I’ve done.”
She received help from another direction early on, also. “I pur-chased a house when I didn’t have much of anything. The seller gave me a break and let me get my feet on the ground. She trusted me to pay her back.”
Murphy has been paying it forward ever since. She volunteered for the town newspaper Main Street, acting as the advertising person. She painted the band-stand, and gives regu-larly to the food pantry and End 68 Hours of Hunger. Non-profit or-ganizations are allowed to bring their events to the restaurant, and she’s done benefits for people struck by illness.
“I’m always trying to raise money,” she said.
She explained that Tom Montague’s acci-dent upset her greatly. “He is a patron who be-came a friend.” So she coordinated building a ramp for his home and scheduled people to stay with him so his daugh-ter could return to work.
She treats her em-ployees with the same kind of respect and af-fection. “Everyone who works here is a member of the family. I believe in fixing mistakes, not get-ting rid of them, so I give people several chances.”
Not surprisingly, it has paid off. “The staff has far surpassed any expectations any own-er could have in loyalty and having the com-munity’s back. We feel you have to give to the community in order to receive.”
Giving to the commu-nity pairs with revving up the bay. “The whole time I’ve worked at JP China, I’ve paid atten-
tion to the place across the street,” Murphy said. “I’ve been listening to the community and thought it was import-ant to bring back Busy Corner.”
It’s true that there is a lot of nostalgia associ-ated with the store. “To make it more personal, I chose the name Bear’s Bizzy Corner.”
Bear is husband George, whom she mar-ried in 2012, known as Ted. “Ted and I were thinking about leasing the store.”
In the meantime, D’Angelo purchased the local diner and become friendly with the Mur-phys. “I told him we were interested in tak-ing over the store.”
A meeting quickly be-came a deal. “Rich is a great guy; he’s fantastic to work with and I can’t say enough about him. I’m going to make him proud.”
In typical fashion, it’s become a family af-fair. “Ted and I spent
18 hours sanding the floors. We don’t have a pocketful of money, so we’re doing the work in-side ourselves.”
The staircase has been replaced as have all the windows, and vinyl siding has been added. “We’ve cleaned, painted and refreshed the whole place.”
Ted and his brother David will be working at the store and brother Gary may be involved with caring for the prop-erties.
“Friends of ours will take over the gift shop and bait shop,” Mur-phy said, “so we’re not spread too thin. This is a great opportunity for them and they’re excited about it.”
Murphy said she plans on “keeping it simple so we can cus-tomize to suit the needs of people in this area. I’m hearing that people want subs and cookies.”
Bait, RV and fish-ing licenses will still be available, as will deli and baked goods. “We’re going to be the home of the honey bun and bear claws.”
As opening day ap-proaches, Murphy is calm. “I do research and planning before I make a move; I analyze things.” A good sense of humor no doubt helps, too.
“People have trust-ed me to pay them back twice,” she said. “And now Richie trusts me to run the store.”
Murphy has a deep belief in the town. “Al-ton has so much to of-fer,” she said. “We want to give people more op-tions.”
Her theory is that Al-ton Bay can be made its best by working togeth-
er. “When businesses open, I post that infor-mation at the restaurant so people are aware. I try my hardest to band all of these businesses together because the more people we draw, the more likely we all are to be successful.”
One of her ideas is a pole at the docks with fence pickets pointing the way to different businesses so arriving boaters “can tell what is here.”
Murphy is grateful for everyone around her. “My husband has made me a better per-son. We’re in this togeth-er.” She is also grateful to her employees and the community.
And she’s never for-gotten the person who helped her buy her first home. “I wrote her a letter telling her my life has gone so well and thanking her for the op-portunity she gave me.”
Things don’t always pan out the way you hope. Murphy didn’t wind up in law enforce-ment. Some of her other dreams were thwarted, too.
“I always wanted a place where I could cook,” she said. Chinese cooking takes years of experience, so she’s nev-er been behind the stove at her own restaurant, and it looks as though Ted will be doing the cooking at Bear’s Bizzy Corner Store.
Murphy is unper-turbed. “I roll with things. I do have a good life. Plan A never works.”
Fortunately for her community, her Plan B and C, D, and possibly even on to E all bear her touch of success.

BEAR’S Bizzy Corner store is set to open April 1, and the public can hardly wait for the beloved landmark to once again welcome customers. Mary Murphy said she wanted a bear, honey pot and bees on the sign. "Coca-Cola came up with a cool picture." She said she fell in love with it because it portrays what she thinks of her husband Ted, who will be a fixture in the store.

LACONIA — The kitty that came in from the cold, that’s Sweet Pea. Her name perfect-ly describes her per-sonality, just adorable and pretty as a picture for an older girl.
This little black and white cat lived for many years in a barn on a farm in Belmont. The owner of the farm had his own calamity earlier in the year, be-fore the onset of winter, he realized this demure feline really shouldn’t have to exist in a drafty barn anymore.
Sweet Pea has been staying at New Hamp-shire Humane Society for about three months
now. It’s warm, and cozy, regular food, a nice soft bed and tidy surroundings, better than a bit of straw to lay on in the dank cold of living in the el-ements, but not quite the home she deserves.
Shelter staff know she’s older, wiser, per-haps resigned to what life brings her. Could the reward for being such a sweetheart be a loving indoor forever home at last?
Please visit Sweet Pea. Staff are sure you will find her irresist-ible.

Obituaryn
NEW DURHAM — Nathalie Goss Turner died in Florida of compli-cations related to long-term lung problems. A packed-house celebra-tion of life was held at the RV resort where she and her husband Les had wintered for the past several years. Her son David and daughter Amanda were present, as well as cousins and close friends from all over Florida and hun-dreds of camper friends.
Nathalie graduat-ed from Harwich High School (on Cape Cod) in 1955 and was awarded a four-year scholarship at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston from which she graduated (also from Tufts) in 1959. She and Les married that summer and in the fall of that year she began teaching art in the Pio-neer Valley School Dis-trict in western Massa-chusetts. As a brand new teacher she was a circuit rider for art programs in five small towns and the high school.
In 1961 her first daughter, Cathy, was born and very soon af-ter David and Harvey and a few years later, Amanda. Her family moved around during Les’s career, living in Mass., New Hampshire and a few years in Ore-gon. The family moved to New Durham in 1986. Wherever she went she parented and produced memorable craft and arts projects, large and small. Friends all over the US have some of her miniatures, a Christian college in Oregon owns a large biblical subject painting of hers and a Masonic Hall in North-wood, Mass. proudly dis-plays her mural of presi-dential Masons. For two
years she painted lim-ner-style paintings in Strawbery Banke.
In 1984 she returned to teaching art, this time in Farmington. Initially she taught on all grade levels and later taught at the high school only. She retired reluctantly in 1999 due to medical problems and is very fondly regarded by for-mer students. A Face-book entry initiated by a former student exploded with heartfelt comments shortly after her death. The Congregational Church of Farmington will host a celebration of life on May 2 at 10 a.m.
Nathalie did not stop teaching when she re-tired. She taught wa-ter-color and oil paint-ing, Biblical studies, Nantucket basket-mak-ing, beading, wood-carv-ing and other crafts to retirees at RV resorts. She was never too busy to take on a special proj-ect when asked.
Nathalie was a prodi-gious reader, crafts-per-son, collector extraor-dinaire, and was very close to her four chil-dren, three grandchil-dren and one great-child. Her collections include hundreds of books (most read several times), also minerals and egg-rocks, family picture albums, stamps, doll-houses and countless dolls, many of which she adopted in
pieces. Recently she was very pleased to author on Amazon “What Hap-pens in the Doll House,” a 215-page collection of “things you can make and activities and sto-ries that happen in the dollhouse.” In 2014 she completed a three-year wood-carving project of the Biblical manger scene. It includes about 40 figures and has been awarded wood-carving ribbons. It will be on dis-play at the Farmington celebration of life.
After her death it became necessary to sort out her stuff in the RV so as to hold some things dear and to pass on items to where they could best be used. Lots of left over arts/crafts materials will be donat-ed to schools in India. Bibles and wood-carv-ing tools were snatched up by her friends and students. She always produced our Christmas cards in water colors, as well as special cards for birthdays of friends and a Valentine for her hus-band. Some of her cards will be available to for-mer students as memo-rabilia at the celebration of life.
In the sorting process Amanda and Les found her final Valentine to him, “To the man I mar-ried-You have my stamp of approval.” The card includes a postage stamp depicting two wedding rings together. This trea-sure is symbolic of their 55 years of marriage and will be framed and held dear.
BARNSTEAD — “Well lift your head up high and take a walk in the sun with dignity and stick-to-it-ness and ya show the world, ya show the world… you’ll never give up, nev-er give up, never give up...” - Eddie Lawrence
David T. Allen, 67, of Center Barnstead, passed away on Sun-day, March 22. He said that the Eddie Law-rence song, The Old Philosopher, was the family song. He certain-ly lived by the Old Phi-losopher’s philosophy. He never gave up his dream of becoming a pi-lot and when he became one, he worked hard to teach others to fly, eventually becoming a captain for Southwest Airlines. He loved to be in the sky.
He was born on April 15, 1947 in Hartford, Conn. to the late Arthur Allen and Margaret An-drew Allen. He dearly loved his wife and chil-dren and is survived by his wife, Janet; daugh-
ters Jennifer Sorrell and husband Josh and Jillien Klok and hus-band Garrett; grand-daughters Eve and Mae Klok; sister Susan Story and husband Stephen; and brother Arthur Al-len. In addition to his parents, brothers Rob-ert and Henry preceded him in death.
David liked to hunt and he loved to fish. He loved to laugh and made friends wherever he went. His favorite times, when not in the sky, were those spent with family at home, in Florida with Janet, fishing on Lake Winni-pesaukee and reminisc-
ing at family get-togeth-ers at the Village Beach Club in Meredith, where he grew up.
He was a proud vet-eran, who served in the United States Coast Guard in San Diego. He was almost as passion-ate as Janet about UNH hockey and Patriots football.
David will be missed by all who loved him and remembered fond-ly by all whose lives he touched.
Arrangements were handled by the Mayhew Funeral Home and Mer-edith Bay Crematori-um, 204 D.W. Highway in Meredith. To view David’s online book of memories, go to www.mayhewfuneralhomes.com.
Memorials may be made to the New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Children’s Fishing Ed-ucation Program, 11 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH 03301 or the Wound-ed Warrior Project, https://support.wound-edwarriorproject.org.
FARMINGTON — Wilfred Ernest Drouin, 86 of My St., Farming-ton died March 20, at his home in Farming-ton.
Born in Sanford, Me. Sept. 3, 1929 son of the late Ernest W. and Lil-ly (Jackson) Drouin, he grew up in Sanford and lived in Tuftonboro for 25 years prior to mov-ing to Farmington nine
years ago.Wilfred worked for
Davidson Rubber until he retired. He enjoyed snowmobiling, watch-ing sports and volun-teered at Wolfeboro Bay Care in Wolfeboro.
He was pre-deceased by his wife, Marion (Govey) Drouin and a son, Wilfred Ernest Drouin Jr.
He leaves behind
many loving family members.
Visitation was Wednesday March 25, followed by a service at the Baker-Gagne Fu-neral Home and Crema-tion Service, 85 Mill St., Wolfeboro.

Who designs this stuff? And other bits and pieces
Straight away, when it was 10 below this morning, March 20, I’d decided to go up and write when I was fresh. So I did.
I’d shut my computer down, probably a mis-take, the night before. Normally I do not do that. How to turn it back
on?The designers pro-
duce the buttons and knobs black on black. Really, how stupid can you be? Who can see black on black, any more than white on white?
As a longtime print-er, I can see the reason. One less pass through the press.
When I let my dog, Millie, out this morn-ing into the run that I’ve cleared lo these
many winter months, and waited for her to do her business, I thought about the out-houses that kids and adults had to go to in times past.
These were horrid affairs. The adults did their best to make them comfortable, but they were not. At best, the kids could bring along a hot brick to keep their upper selves warm. Imagine making that trek all the way from warm kitchen down
through (maybe) warm ell and through the shop and down through the main barn, and perhaps ancillary barn, to the out-house.
In my case, when I dropped out of college in my first year, my par-ents were so outraged that they gave me the sentence of destroying the ell and the barn of the old farm house they were renovating. In there I found the re-mains of a three-holer.
What stories there were to tell.
Finally, black flies.When people ask
what’s the best time to come visit, my answer invariably is anytime, because I love compa-ny, but the best answer is October, because the land is bare and you can see its contours, or early May, because the land is bare, it’s warm, and it’s before the bugs.
“The bugs” means before black flies. If you
get here before the sec-ond week of May, you get to see everything without getting bitten to smithereens.

Huggins Hospital Offers Walk Tall ProgramWolfeboro – “Stand
up straight” are words you may have heard as a warning from your parents when you were a child. Their advice to sit and stand up straight was a good recommen-dation that many of us have forgotten over the years.
Poor posture can lead to many physical ail-ments and to a decline in normal daily activi-ty. The slowly progress-ing condition that re-sults from poor posture is known as kyphosis or a dowager’s hump and may be referred to as a forward head or
slumped posture. This condition can lead to many health problems including decreased leg function, a decline in balance, a decrease in respiratory capaci-ty, decreased indepen-dence and quality of life, an earlier mortal-ity rate, and increased falls which may result in broken bones. If you notice this decline in your posture, body strength and functional ability, there are meth-ods for you to intervene and reverse these pat-terns to facilitate pos-itive changes in your body and to improve
your physical ability.The Walk Tall pro-
gram at Huggins Hos-pital’s Back Bay Re-habilitation, starting April 14, is designed to help you get back to do-ing the things you love. The 6-week program includes education and a safe and effective progression of gentle exercises to improve posture, decrease back pain, improve bal-ance, and increase safe functional movement through daily life ac-tivities. The program is taught by Huggins Hospital’s Betsey New-comb, OT, who is a Cer-
tified Osteoporosis Ex-ercise Specialist with over 30 years of clinical experience.
According to New-comb, many people are unaware their bones may not be strong enough to support their body through normal daily activities. In or-der to maintain bone mass, a person must stand for at least four hours a day. People with a sedentary life-style may have weak-ened bones, along with people who have oste-oporosis, osteopenia, diabetes, neurological disorders, cancer, rheu-
matoid arthritis and more. Others may be at risk due to side effects from their prescription drugs that may cause a decrease in calcium ab-sorption.
Huggins Hospital’s Walk Tall program at Back Bay Rehabilita-tion meets twice a week and is covered by Medi-care and some private insurance companies. A doctor’s referral is nec-essary to participate. When Back Bay Reha-bilitation receives your referral, you will be scheduled for an indi-vidual comprehensive evaluation of your pos-
ture, body strength, and balance to determine if you qualify to partici-pate in this program. A Bone Mineral Densi-ty test (DEXA scan) is recommended before starting the Walk Tall program and can be scheduled through Hug-gins Hospital. For those people who are unable to participate in the group program, individ-ual therapy is available for all ages and all stag-es of this condition. For more information or to register for the Walk Tall program, please call Back Bay Rehab at 569-7565.
Silva Family Dentistry is proud to announce 10th year anniversarySilva Family Dentist-
ry is proud to announce the 10 year anniver-sary of their practice. Dr Shawn Silva, DMD, FCOI, opened his doors in November 2004. Since then, the progression and implementation of dental technology along with his caring staff has provided his patients with predictable, effi-cient and comfortable care.

tography at each visit al-lows patients to be fully engaged and part of their care.
The latest form of
technology used is Den-tal Cone Beam Comput-ed Tomography or 3D imaging. Dental CBCT systems have been used
in the US since the early 2000s and are increas-ingly used by Dentists and Dental specialists today. Dental CBCT im-ages provide three di-mensional information rather than two dimen-sional information giv-en through traditional xrays. Although dental CBCT radiation doses are lower than other forms of CT exams, it typically delivers more radiation than conven-tional dental xrays. Therefore, exposing pa-tients to this type of im-age is recommended in specific cases and not as a standard of care. There are numerous benefits to a dental CBCT scan. When planning implant or oral surgery, the cli-nician can see all im-portant anatomy and the surgery can be planned virtually using integrat-ed software allowing for precision and long term predictability. The images can also show detail in many different angles and layers. Tra-ditional xrays are very much like only having one page of a book to get information from. CBCT imaging is similar to having an entire book at your disposal, allowing you to go to any page in that book for informa-tion. The image is also very detailed when diag-nosing root fractures, si-nus issues, bone loss and dental infections. This allows for the Dentist to make a more definitive diagnosis. Silva Family Dentistry has incorpo-rated dental CBCT scans into their practice which has truly enhanced over-all patient experience and treatment outcomes.
Dr Silva and staff are always eager to meet new patients. Please vis-it or call the office for more information about the services provided.
Dr. Silva includes 3D imaging in his armamentarium

For the past eight years, Dr Silva has been relying solely upon tradi-tional xrays for diagnos-ing dental conditions. Two years ago, he added 3D imaging to his arma-mentarium. 3D imaging

Frisbie Memorial Hospital’s Wound Center Wins AwardThe Frisbie Hospital
Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine received the Healogics 2015 “Robert A Warriner MD Center of Excellence Award.” This advanced wound care center is the only wound center in New Hampshire to receive this prestigious award three years in a row. To qualify for this clinical excellence award, a center must ex-ceed national outcome benchmarks measured against a data pool of over 600 wound centers nationwide.
The Center treats pa-tients with ulcers caused by diabetes, venous in-sufficiency, pressure,
post-surgical complica-tions, trauma, and more. Patients in the Seacoast/Lakes Region area who suffer with chronic, non-healing wounds can receive world class care right here in Rochester, NH. Staffed with spe-cially trained providers and nurses, the Frisbie Wound Care Center uses advanced treatments and technology to ex-pertly advance wound healing.
For difficult wounds, our team of specialists from Infectious Disease, General Surgery, Emer-gency Medicine, and Podiatry review cases together to assure the best treatment for our
patients. Our nurses are compassionate, ded-icated, and work with patients to help identify the underlying causes of a non-healing wound. We customize treat-ment plans and work with caregivers or out-side agencies, if needed, to ensure patients re-ceive continuous care, both in the Center and at home, to accelerate wound healing. The Cen-ter follows rigorous and nationally recognized Clinical Practice Guide-lines in treating chronic wounds.
Frisbie’s Wound Care Center offers compli-mentary transportation services to patients liv-
ing in a 10 mile radius of the hospital. Accord-ing to Patty Hodge, MD, Medical Director, “This service is a real help to many of our patients who do not have trans-portation to come to our Center. Patients are ex-pected to come in week-ly for wound treatments. The van service enables patients to get here ac-cording to the care plan, so that we can assess and heal wounds more quickly.”
The Center has two Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy chambers (HBOT) where patients receive daily painless treatments with 100% oxygen super-infused
into their system and wound(s). Marc Hall, Program Director states, “Many patients with chronic wounds just do not have the blood and oxygen flow to the wound area due to underlying disease. This greatly contributes to the body not being able to heal the wound naturally. HBOT is one advanced therapy we offer that virtually jump starts the body’s natural immune system, eradicates infection, and stimulates healthy skin cell production. We have treated a number of pa-tients with HBOT where treatment prevented life altering amputations and restored patients
functioning to where it was before the wound developed.”
Patients, family mem-bers, or healthcare pro-viders can schedule ap-pointments and reserve van transportation directly by calling the Center at 603-330-7914, open M-F, 8am-5pm. The Center is conveniently located off the main en-trance of Frisbie Hospi-tal in Rochester. Most insurance, Medicare and Medicaid cover our services.

Occupational Therapy Helps People Live Their LifeThe person who needs
occupational therapy could be your father or mother facing changes because of aging. It could be your child, frustrated with being unable to do the seemingly simple things the other children at school can do. It could be you or your spouse
recovering from a sur-gery, coping with illness or the dealing with the results of an accident. It could be anyone who, for whatever reason, can’t do the things in life they need to do.
Occupational therapy is therapy based on per-forming the meaningful
activities of daily life (self-care skills, educa-tion, work, or social in-teraction), especially to enable or enhance par-ticipation in such activ-ities despite limitations in physical or mental functioning. Occupa-tional therapists use careful analysis of phys-ical, environmental, psychosocial, mental, spiritual, political and cultural factors to iden-tify barriers to partici-pation in the activities of life. Occupational ther-apy is for individuals of all ages-to improve skills that help them perform daily tasks at home and at school, at work and at play.
At Central New Hampshire VNA & Hos-pice client care is deliv-ered in the home by a variety of visiting clini-
cians including nurses, physical therapists, li-censed nurse assistants, medical social workers and of course occupa-tional therapists. The occupational therapists initial focus is on treat-ing and rehabilitating clients so that they may regain their indepen-dence and productivity. In addition they provide clients with training and they recommend equipment to help with personal care needs. Therapists teach clients how to make their home safer and more accessi-ble if they have mobility issues and design pro-grams of activities and exercise that will help individuals regain as much function as possi-ble.
Chances are you, a family member, or some-
one you know will need occupational therapy at some point in your life. Please join us in thank-ing those that help deliv-er this service. April is National Occupational Therapy month, a time for us to learn about the benefits of occupational therapy and a time for us to recognize the hard work of all of the visit-ing staff at Central New Hampshire VNA & Hos-pice.

Scheduling a hearing test will get you started on the road to better hearing
For many people, it creeps in slowly. Meet-ing friends for dinner used to be easy and fun, but it slowly becomes a frustration as it grows harder to hear in back-ground noise. Or, may-be watching television with your spouse has become intolerable for them as the volume you need to hear your pro-grams creeps up. These are some of the early in-dicators of hearing loss, however, if you are like many people, you may dismiss these signs and wait to do something about it.
Over 38 million Amer-icans are living with hearing loss today and the average American goes seven years strug-gling to hear the world around them before scheduling a hearing test with a provider. Per-haps someone you love is among those 38 mil-lion people and you’re not sure how to help them, or, maybe you suffer from hearing loss yourself, but don’t know if it’s “serious enough” yet that you should be
seen. Recently published research is now telling us that waiting does more than leave you dis-connected from your life and the sounds you used to love, it is actually neg-atively impacting your brain.
In 2014, Johns Hop-kins University re-searchers published compelling information linking hearing loss to increased risk for de-mentia, falls, hospital-izations, and diminished physical and mental health overall. The study went so far as to point to differences in the brains of the hearing impaired versus those with nor-mal hearing, citing actu-al brain shrinkage -doc-umented over time- in those with hearing loss in the structures of the brain which correspond with speech and sound processing as well as memory and sensory in-tegration. The memory and sensory structures of the brain are the im-portant ones to note, as they are shown to be in-volved in the early stages of cognitive impairment
and Alzheimer’s disease. Hearing loss cannot be reversed by hearing aids, but protecting and enhancing the hearing you’ve got can help to shield your brain from the effects of hearing loss over time - and those effects are worth paying attention to. If hearing health and brain health go hand in hand, as this research would suggest, it seems we should all take a moment to think about how we can make our own hearing health, and/or that of a loved one, a priority this year and for years to come.
Calling to schedule
a hearing test will get you started on the road to better hearing and puts valuable informa-tion about your hearing health in your hands. From there, trying a pair of hearing aids at no up-front cost gives you the chance to hear the differ-ence that they can make in your life for yourself. Reach out to the profes-sionals who can help you preserve the hear-ing you’ve got and make
the very most of it, call The Hearing Aid Shop, at: 603-941-4412 <tel:603-941-4412> . The Hearing Aid Shop has two con-venient locations; 22
Glendon Street in Wolfe-boro, NH and next to The Green Granite Inn at 1529 White Mountain Highway in North Con-way, NH, and is avail-
able to serve your needs Monday through Friday, 10am-4pm.

ALTON — The Pros-pect Mountain commu-nity gathered together on Tuesday, March 17, to celebrate the winter sports season.
After members of the Prospect Mountain pep band played the Nation-al Anthem, band direc-tor Tom Stevens made a special presentation to Hailey Kelley, who has served as student direc-tor of the pep band this season.
“She stepped up and led the group,” Stevens said. “Her commitment and dedication helped to make for a great atmo-sphere at the games.”
Athletic Director Corey Roux then wel-comed those assembled to the winter sports awards.
He noted that the sportsmanship and skills improvement would not be possible without the work of the coaches.
He also thanked the parents, grandparents and friends and family who turned out for the games throughout the year and made Prospect a role model for the rest of the schools in Divi-sion III.
Roux then introduced the winter sports teams and had them stand to be applauded by the crowd.
The girls’ indoor track team had numer-ous athletes move on to the Division II State Meet, while the boys’ indoor track team saw them finish fourth at the Division II State Meet. Jeremy Woodbury fin-ished sixth in the high jump and Cody Sy-monds finished in sec-ond in the 1,500 meters and moved on to New Englands. He was also named to the All State Team. Both teams are coached by John Tuttle.
The spirit team worked on jumps, stunts and routines through-out the year to support the Prospect Mountain basketball teams. The Timber Wolves, under the direction of Cheri Monahan, showed en-thusiasm and hard work throughout the year to get better as the year went along.
The JV girls’ hoop team, under coach James Lee, worked as hard in practices in game competition and improved individual-ly and as a team as the year went on.
The varsity girls’ basketball team had a season of learning and development with only two full-time starters returning to the lineup. The Timber Wolves, under coach Brian Con-torchick, were quick to develop good chemistry and it showed in games as the team won eight games and earned a playoff berth.
The JV boys’ hoop team, with coach Rich-ard Fortier at the helm, grew individually and as a team and had a great team dynamic throughout the winter season, thanks to solid intensity displayed by the team.
The boys’ varsity hoop team gave 100 per-cent during practice and from buzzer to buzzer in games and came up with a big come-from-behind win over Laco-nia in the first round of the playoffs. Coach Mike Joy led the team to eight wins and into the second round of the tournament.
The alpine ski team improved over the course of the season, getting better and bet-ter throughout the year. Coach Bruce Davol’s team brought home three individual state championships,
with Martin Sebastian Azaola winning the sla-lom and giant slalom and Haley Dame win-ning the giant slalom. Both moved on to the Meet of Champions and New England champi-onships.
Additionally, Roux honored Hannah DeR-oche, who won an in-dividual state champi-onship on the balance beam at the gymnastics championships.
Roux then welcomed Cathy Fraser to the stage to help pass out the NHIAA Sportsman-ship Awards, which are given to two players from each team.
For the spirit team, Kasi Hill and Amanda Walton were the win-
ners.Ryley Roberts and
Arianna Libenson were the girls’ alpine ski team winners and Riley Mc-Grath and Gabe Varney were the boys’ alpine ski team winners.
For indoor track, Meghan Stackhouse and Jenica Locke were the girls’ winners and Jacob Roy and Wyatt Siegler were the boys’ winners.
For boys’ basket-ball, Logan Byers and Lucas Mostoller were the winners for the JV team and Devonte Till-man-Doubleday and Dillon Barnes were the winners for the varsity team.
For girls’ basketball, Alexandra McKenzie
and Tiffany White were the JV winners and Madison McKenzie and Ruth Bothwick were the varsity winners.
Prospect Mountain Booster Club president Bob Cleary and Fraser took the stage next to present the scholar-ath-lete awards.
“One of the great-est things we get to do is recognize our stu-dent-athletes,” Cleary said, noting there were 43 winners this year.
Cleary first recog-nized student volunteer Nick Dame, who was at almost every single one of the 19 basketball games to help with the concession stand.
“He was instrumen-tal in our fundraising
efforts,” Cleary said.From the senior
class, the winners were Ally Cleary, Haley Dame, Amelia Duane, Laura Fraser, Shaimaa Hourani, Ruby Jones, Aspen Ladieu, Arianna Libenson, Haley Mel-lon, Kathryn McGinnis, Alexandra Norman-din, Kaitlin Sepulveda, Zachary Smith, Cody Symonds and Peter Ta-bor.
For the junior class, winners were Sarah-El-len Calise, Ethan Cor-riveau, Krysten Goos-sens, Leizel Lee, Jenica Locke and Chase Plante.
For the sophomore class, winners were Me-gan Chase, Emma Har-
Making basketball more fun for meI’ve stated more than
once in this space that basketball is not my fa-vorite sport. However, I do have respect for well-played basketball, just as I have respect for all sports that are played well.
Of course, in this neck of the woods, there is no better basketball to watch than the Brew-ster Academy basketball boys, who have now won four national champion-ships after winning their second title in a row on March 11.
I don’t get a chance to see the Brewster boys quite as often as I would like, since I have so many other winter sports team to cover, but I did get a few chances to watch the Brewster boys play this season.
Over the last few years, it’s really been a pleasure to watch the Bobcats play and it’s been a lot of fun to follow the exploits of the former Brewster players as they make their way through the collegiate ranks and
into the NBA. Though I’m not a big basketball fan, I do enjoy following the NCAA tournament simply to keep track of the former Bobcats.
The 2011-2012 Brew-ster team that included Mitch McGary, JaKarr Sampson, TJ Warren, Semaj Christon, Jalen Reynolds and Aaron Thomas, among others, ranks as the best basket-ball team I’ve ever seen play. This year’s team certainly has the best backcourt combination I’ve seen with Justin Simon, Jalen Adams, David Crisp and Kamali Chambers. The basket-ball talent that has come through the Smith Cen-ter is truly impressive, even without counting the opponents that have taken on the Bobcats.
And I also can’t say enough about coach Ja-son Smith. Jason has
built the Brewster pro-gram through incredibly hard work and dedica-tion and it is always nice to see a coach reward-ed for his hard work. Thanks to his hard work, he now essential-ly has his pick of the top talent in the country.
And on the topic of coaches, I was saddened to hear that Kennett boys’ basketball coach Steve Coté is stepping down after nine seasons on the sidelines for the Eagles.
The Kennett basket-ball team went through some tough years and Steve has helped to guide the Eagles into the playoffs the last few years, including a home game last year. Like Ja-son Smith at Brewster, Steve has put in a lot of work to make the pro-gram better and he and assistants Ryan Somer and Andy Trowbridge deserve credit for their hard work.
Steve is leaving his coaching job for the best of reasons: To spend
more time with his family, particularly his daughter Liz, who is now playing basketball for the local youth teams. Steve wasn’t getting many chances to see her play due to practices and games and now he will get to see that happen.
And really, family is what matters in the end.
So kudos to coach Smith and coach Coté on your accomplishments, both this year and in the past. You’ve made bas-ketball more fun for this reporter.
Finally, have a great day Doug Kiley.

The lone KnightBrian Lindsay represents Kingswood well during wrestling season

WOLFEBORO — Amongst the Kingswood winter sports athletes, freshman Brian Lindsay was on his own.
That’s because Lind-say was the sole repre-sentative for Kingswood in the sport of wrestling.
There was a wrestling program at Kingswood in the past, but it was disbanded in the early 2000s. But that didn’t stop Lindsay, who has been wrestling for 10 years and wanted to con-tinue his career repre-senting his high school.
Lindsay first got into wrestling as a young kid. His cousin, who is four years older than he is, was wrestling and he thought it looked inter-esting.
“We went to one of his tournaments and I decid-ed I wanted to do that,” Lindsay said.
So, he joined up with Berwick (Maine) Youth Wrestling and has been wrestling ever since.
As he advanced through elementary school, he realized that
he wanted to continue to wrestle, but also knew that KIngswood no lon-ger had a program, so he and his parents began looking at options as to how to continue for-ward.
“When I was in sev-enth grade, we were looking at private school,” Lindsay said. “But we talked to Miss Ogden (Kingswood Ath-letic Director Andrea Ogden) and we worked it out.”
So, for his winter sport this year, Lindsay would leave the King-swood campus every day and head south to Roch-ester to train and prac-tice with the Spaulding Red Raiders.
The NHIAA allows single athletes to com-pete for their school yet train with another school if the athlete’s school does not offer the program he or she wish-es to compete in. While Lindsay trains and prac-tices with Spaulding and goes to meets with the Red Raiders, he rep-resents Kingswood.
Lindsay enjoyed a
very successful year on the mat for Kingswood, as he finished at 38-9 on the season in Division II, including 27 pins in the 120-pound weight class.
And the season went on longer for Lindsay than it did for many kids. He finished second at 120 pounds at the Division II Meet, which was held at Con-Val High School in Peterborough. That finish moved him on to the Meet of Champions, with the best wrestlers from throughout all three divisions. At the MOC, he finished fifth overall at 120 pounds and was able to move on to the New England Championships.
“New Englands, it was a good experience,” Lindsay said. “The wres-tlers in the tournament, I actually knew a lot of them for a while.
“The competition was a lot different than New Hampshire,” Lindsay added.
And he reports that the Spaulding kids were very welcoming and were great to have around as he made
his foray into the high school wrestling world.
“Going into it, I didn’t really know anyone,” Lindsay said, noting that he became really good friends with the Spaulding wrestler at 132 pounds. “We still talk even after the season.”
Lindsay’s dad, Brett, officially serves as the Kingswood wrestling coach and he goes with his son to Spaulding and works with the Spauld-ing coaches.
Lindsay continues to do even more wres-tling besides his work as Kingswood’s lone wrestler, working with Doughboy Wrestling in Lowell, Mass. and with a program at Noble High School in Maine.
He points out that he will continue to wres-tle throughout his four years at Kingswood, though he’s hopeful that he might have some teammates in green and white in the future.
“That’s something I want, I want a team,” Lindsay said. “That would be a lot cooler than just a single guy.
“But I’m going to wrestle all four years no matter,” he added.
Lindsay was also part of the Kingswood foot-ball team this fall and is looking forward to being part of the King-swood baseball team this spring. He is traveling with the team to Flori-da today, March 26, for spring training. And while he went through a lot to be the lone King-
swood wrestler, he notes that wrestling isn’t even his favorite sport. That honor goes to baseball.
And it’s a safe bet that he will have a number of teammates when he suits up for the baseball team. That will surely be a nice change.
Joshua Spaulding can be reached at 569-3126 or [email protected].

From success comes more successBrewster prep hoop program continues to excel
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
WOLFEBORO — Since the prep basketball championship began back in 2007, Brewster Academy has brought home four banners. No other school has more than one.
So, as coach Jason Smith has found, success leads to success.
With the national championships under the program’s belt and alums starring in Divi-sion I programs across the country and in NBA arenas as well, Smith now gets to choose from some of the best basket-ball players from around the country.
“We’re at the point where we can be ex-tremely selective,” Smith said, reflecting on his team’s fourth na-tional championship in his office in the Brewster Admissions Department. “We had 800 inquiries last year, it’s just a mat-ter of getting the right kids.”
The Bobcats picked up their fourth nation-al championship at Connecticut College on March 11 with a roster that included just two key players returning from last year. And next year, Smith will have to build basically from scratch, as there are no players returning to the main rotation.
Smith notes that hav-ing two kids back made things much easier for
himself and assistant coach Josh Lee at the start of the season.
“It’s definitely an ad-vantage having guys like Donovan (Mitchell) and Jarred (Reuter) back,” Smith said. “They know what to expect when we go on the road. It’s hard to win in this league on the road.”
Smith noted that the New England Preparato-ry Athletic Conference (NESPAC) has some of the best prep teams in the country and every game is a battle.
“Everyone has play-ers in our league,” Smith said. “It’s nice to have
guys who can communi-cate that
“Everyone has legit players,” he continued. “Even teams at the bot-tom of the league have five, six, seven Division I players.”
Next year, however, Smith notes there will be essentially a 100 percent turnover. And he’s al-ready started to prepare for that transition.
“No question it’s a year round thing,” Smith said. “People who say it’s the offseason have no idea.
“The busiest time is March through July,” the Bobcat coach con-
tinued. “Even if I know the roster is set, you still have to take every call.”
Smith often has his roster set in the spring, but many of the kids who choose to come to Brew-ster don’t want their decision to be made pub-lic until the start of the school year.
“They’re the stars (in their hometowns), they don’t want to go through the summer getting all sorts of questions,” Smith said. “A lot of the kids don’t publicly say they’re coming until the end of summer.
“But a lot of times by the time the school year ends, I already know
who’s coming in the fall,” the Bobcat coach added.
And Smith notes that the success Brewster has, allowing him to bring in top talent, has college coaches look-ing to Brewster for new stars.
“I think why college coaches like recruiting from our program, not only are they talented kids, but winning is im-portant,” Smith said. “If they don’t win at the college level, they don’t keep their jobs as coach-es.”
Smith notes that com-ing into the season, his team had seven guys who had already committed
to a college basketball program, so they weren’t playing to impress col-lege coaches. They were just playing to win.
“They want to main-tain the success we’ve built here,” Smith said. “It’s hard.
“The fact that they went through the year at 34-1 says a lot about the competitive fire they have.”
Smith notes that they may not have been the 12 most talented players that wanted to come to Brewster, but they were a combination of the 12 with the highest charac-ter and talent.
He points to Jalen Ad-ams as one of those kids who continues to push himself, despite the fact that he’s already com-mitted to play at the Uni-versity of Connecticut next year.
Adams played at Cushing, a NEPSAC AA team and won two championships at that level before moving on to AAA Brewster this year and winning another. And he’s won three NEP-SAC tournament MVP awards as well.
“Winning is import-ant to Jalen Adams,” Smith said. “Working hard and being competi-tive is a skill. I see teams where guys just don’t play hard.
“It’s a credit to the kids we have here, win-ning is very important to them,” the Bobcat coach

She-Wolves take division title in annual tournamentHosts finish at 2-1-1 in action at Pop Whalen Arena
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
WOLFEBORO — Sue Trotta’s goal in the final five minutes of their final game of the tournament allowed the Wolfeboro She-Wolves to win their division at the annual She-Wolves tournament for the first time in many years.
Trotta’s goal pulled the She-Wolves even with the Maine Coon Cats and the two teams eventually skated to a 1-1 tie, leav-ing the She-Wolves with five points on the tourna-ment (two wins, one loss and one tie). No matter the outcome of the final game in the division, the She-Wolves had the title and a cheer erupted from the locker room when the team learned the news. The Coon Cats finished with the same 2-1-1 re-cord, but with the She-Wolves win over the Coon Cats, they got the title.
The tournament start-ed quite well for the She-Wolves, with wins in the first two games.
In the tournament opener on Friday, March 20, the She-Wolves bested the Wild Women of Con-way’s Ham Arena by a 4-3 score. They then came back on Saturday morn-ing and took care of the Coon Cats by a 2-1 score to move to 2-0 on the tour-
nament.The second game on
Sunday was a rematch with the Wild Women and it was a great battle back and forth throughout the afternoon.
The Wild Women had a couple of early chanc-es, but She-Wolves goalie Val Murray held her own. Donna Kasianchuk and Liz Bean had chances in the offensive zone for the She-Wolves, as did Karin Lovering and Leah Keni-son, but they were unable to put the puck in the net.
After Murray turned away a great Wild Wom-en bid, Trotta got a bid in close for the home team but she was denied by the Wild Women keep-er. Hannah Croteau also had a shot denied and the rebound attempt by Kenison was also turned away. Lovering turned in strong defense in front of Murray, who also made another save in the She-Wolves net.
The She-Wolves took the game’s first penalty with 3:27 to go in the first period and Murray made a couple of saves to keep the game scoreless and the She-Wolves killed off the penalty.
However, with 1:32 to go in the period, the Wild Women were able to grab the lead, sneaking a shot in for the 1-0 advantage.
They carried that ad-vantage to the end of the period and headed to the second with the one-goal lead.
Murray and the de-fense made a couple of nice stops early on Wild Women rushes in the second period and Keni-son had a couple of good looks stopped. Lisa Dore also had a chance in close but was denied. Bean and Karin Nelson had chanc-es blocked by the defense.
With 3:58 to go in the period, Murray made a save on a Wild Women bid, but the rebound came loose and it was poked into the net for a 2-0 lead.
The She-Wolves bat-tled with some good chances in the offensive zone after the second goal, as Lisa Tarter, Ken-ison and Bean all had bids. Murray turned in a couple of saves as well and Melissa Lawlor was strong on defense, send-ing the game to the third period with the Wild Women up 2-0.
Kasianchuk and Bean teamed up for a couple of early chances in the third period and Croteau and Amie Cloos-Edmunds also had bids. Kenison had a shot stopped and Croteau’s bid at the re-bound was also denied. Murray also made a cou-ple more saves in the She-
Wolves net.The Wild Women were
able to take advantage of a power play with 7:53 to go in the game, scoring right off a faceoff for the 3-0 lead.
The She-Wolves came back with some chances and it was Kenison get-ting them on the board right off a faceoff with 6:02 to go, making it 3-1.
Mary Ann Murray turned in strong defense and Val Murray turned away a couple more bids as the clock ticked down and the Wild Women had the 3-1 win.
The She-Wolves re-turned to the arena on Sunday morning for their
final game of the tourna-ment, taking on the Coon Cats.
The She-Wolves had some early chances, with Lawlor, Kenison and Nelson all getting ear-ly bids in the offensive zone, while keeper Emily Moore held her own at the other end of the ice.
However, with 3:42 to go in the first period, the Coon Cats were able to slip one over the line and took the 1-0 lead.
The She-Wolves got a power play just a few sec-onds later and had some good chances, with Tart-er and Lawlor combining on a couple of bids and Kenison and Trotta also getting good looks before the power play finished. Moore made a solid save to close the period and the teams went to the second with the Coon Cats up 1-0.
The She-Wolves con-trolled play early in the second, with Keni-son sending a shot high and Lawlor and Lover-ing each having shots stopped by the Coon Cat keeper. Cloos-Edmunds had a shot go wide of the net and Trotta had two bids denied by the keeper. Moore continued to play strong in the net, turning away a couple of Coon Cat bids.
The offense contin-ued to push for the She-Wolves, with Kenison, Carlene Stewart and Lovering all getting good bids, but the period would draw to a close with the Coon Cats still clinging to the 1-0 lead.
The She-Wolves took two early penalties in the third period, which led to the Coon Cats getting a five-on-three advantage for 46 seconds. Moore
made a couple of saves, Nelson had a nice clear and Cloos-Edmunds had a strong battle in the cor-ner to tie up the puck and kill off the time. Kenison also had a shorthanded scoring bid, helping the She-Wolves to kill off the penalties.
Kenison and Tarter had a good combination chance and both had separate chances in the offensive zone before the She-Wolves were finally able to get on the board.
Trotta was able to skate the puck out of the circle to the Coon Cat keeper’s right. She moved it into the slot and fired a shot that slipped right in-side the post with 4:39 to go, tying the game at one.
Moore immediately made a save at the other end to keep the tie in tact and Kenison had strong play at both ends of the ice.
With 11 seconds to play and a faceoff in the Coon Cat offensive zone, the visitors pulled their goal-ie looking for the winning goal, but the She-Wolves held on and took the tie, clinching the division ti-tle.
The She-Wolves roster for the tournament in-cluded Lisa Tarter, Car-lene Stewart, Sue Trotta, Hannah Croteau, Amie Cloos-Edmunds, Karin Lovering, Liz Bean, Kar-in Nelson, Mary Ann Murray, Lisa Dore, Patti Cain, Donna Kasianchuk, Melissa Lawlor, Leah Kenison, Val Murray and Emily Moore. The team is coached by Darryl Moore.

continued. “These guys wanted to cement their legacy as one of the best teams in Brewster Acad-emy history.”
Smith, who often goes to Boston to see former players when they come through the TD Garden with their NBA teams, notes that one of the first questions former Bobcat JaKarr Sampson (now with the 76ers) asked him was if this year’s team was better than the team his final year, the 2011-2012 team.
Smith notes that the 2011-2012 team remains tough to beat, with five guys currently in the NBA and Jalen Reynolds likely to make the leap next (he’s currently at Xavier).
And Smith notes that this year’s players are no slouches in the class-
room either, as 100 per-cent of the team earned John Brewster Scholar or Citizenship honors. There are also two Na-tional Honor Society members on the team.
“They’re leaders,” Smith said. “The first thing we evaluate is character. That comes across in recommenda-tions from teachers.
“If you’re not a kid who works hard every day in the classroom, we don’t want you to be part of our program,”
And with the contin-ued success the Brew-ster Bobcats have had, there’s no doubt that Smith will have plenty of great students, and great players, to choose from, for many years.

Former Bobcats maketheir mark on NCAA tournament
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
WOLFEBORO — For-mer Brewster hoop play-ers made their presence felt in the NCAA tour-nament’s opening week. Eleven former Bobcats were part of teams com-peting in the tournament.
The player with per-haps the best game among the former Brew-ster players in the first few rounds was Jalen Reynolds, playing for Xavier. After scoring six points and adding five rebounds in his team’s win over Mississippi in the first round, Reynolds exploded for 21 points, a new career high and added six rebounds in his team’s 75-67 win over Georgia State. Xavier is scheduled to play Ar-izona today, March 26. Arizona’s coaching staff features former Bobcat Austin Carroll, who is a
graduate assistant coach for the Wildcats. They beat Texas Southern 93-72 and Ohio State 73-58 to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.
North Carolina State also advanced to the Sweet Sixteen with wins over LSU and top-seed-ed Villanova in the East bracket. The NC State roster includes former Bobcats Kyle Washing-ton and Patrick Wal-lace. In his team’s 66-65 win over LSU in the first round, Washington scored nine points and added four rebounds. In the upset of Villanova he had two points. NC State plays Louisville on Fri-day, March 27.
UCLA is also in the Sweet Sixteen after wins over Southern Methodist 60-59 in the first round and University of Ala-bama Birmingham 92-75 in the second round.
Former Bobcat Jonah Bolden is on the UCLA roster but is redshirting this season. UCLA will play Gonzaga at Friday, March 27.
For Southern Method-ist in that opening round game, former Bobcat Markus Kennedy came up with 16 points and nine rebounds.
Elijah Macon had two points in the University of West Virginia’s 68-62 win over Buffalo in the first round. West Virgin-ia moved on to the Sweet Sixteen with a 69-59 win over Maryland. Macon played but did not score in that game. West Vir-ginia will play top-seeded Kentucky today, March 26.
Devonte Graham helped the Kansas Jay-hawks to an opening round 75-56 win over New Mexico State, put-ting in eight points and
four assists. Graham then scored 17 points and had five steals in the Jay-hawks’ 78-65 loss to Wich-ita State.
Isaac Copeland helped Georgetown to an 84-74 win over Eastern Wash-ington in the first round, grabbing two rebounds. The Hoyas then fell to Utah 75-64 in the second round, with Copeland putting in 14 points and grabbing four rebounds in the loss.
Other players on ros-ters who didn’t make the box score included Max Twyman for University of Albany (first round loss to Oklahoma 69-60) and Kevin Zabo for San Diego State (first round win over St. John’s 76-64 and 68-49 loss to Duke).

Rogers also on Back Bay rosterWOLFEBORO — In
the story on the Back Bay Squirts team playing
in the Seacoast Hockey League tournament, one name was accidentally
left off the roster. Tucker Rogers was injured and didn’t play, but was on
the roster and was with the team on the bench the entire weekend.
