THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2016 SERVING TILTON, NORTHFIELD, BELMONT & SANBORNTON, N.H. FREE Belmont High School's 'top three' prepare to send Class of 2016 off to the future BY DONNA RHODES [email protected] BELMONT — At Belmont High School’s graduation ceremonies this weekend, three highly commendable students will lead their classmates into the next chapter of their lives, congratulating them on their successes thus far and wishing them well in the future. “We’re more about teamwork than competition, and that’s been a good thing,” said 2016 Class President Karlyn Brown of Belmont. Brown has served as president of her class for all four years of high school, and is very proud of the way they have conducted themselves. “I feel like we’ve always been evolving and the teachers have been on board with the students in making changes here,” she said. “We’ve been competitive basically within ourselves and always reached out to help each other.” Her classmates, Brown said, are caring spirits who have pushed for more math and science classes and reached out to those who live their lives in different ways. “The whole atti- When the opportunity arose, Sitar then came to Tilton-Northfield Fire & EMS in February of 2014 as their chief, where he not only heads up their busy department but continues his education in the field of fire service. “I’m now just about ready to finish the Executive Fire Officer program at the state academy,” he said. “That’s a four year program that includes tude has changed here where people are more accepting of others and we were always were just trying to be better,” Brown said. One of those changes was the newly established LGBTQ support club, which worked to support the rights of those living alternative lifestyles. At BHS, Brown was a three-sport athlete, playing soccer, basketball and softball for two years, then joining the track team for her junior and senior year where she participated as both a hurdler and a jumper. Academically she was a member of the French Club, which included a trip to France in her junior year, and she was named to both the National French Honor Society and the National English Honor Society. She said she would have liked to take part in more school activities over the years, but she took on the challenge of working 25 hours a week at Olympia Sports in Tilton, which limited her time this year. Working toward her future goals, Brown also participated in the law enforcement program at the Huot Technical Cen- SEE SITAR, PAGE A10 SEE BHS, PAGE A11 Donna Rhodes Valedictorian Carol Lipshultz, Salutatorian Mike Sanborn, and Karlyn Brown, President of the Class of 2016, will be among the speakers headlining Belmont High School’s graduation ceremonies this Sunday. Sitar earns CFO certification BY DONNA RHODES [email protected] TILTON — The Commission on Professional Credentialing announced on June 1 that Tilton-Northfield Fire Chief Michael Sitar, Jr. was presented with the professional designation of Chief Fire Officer on May 10, making him one of only 1,146 CFO’s worldwide. The commission is an entity of the Center for Public Safety Excellence, Inc. and consists of individuals from many walks of life, such as academia, federal and local government, and the fire and emergency medical services profession who oversee the program. “Chief Sitar has a rich knowledge of the emergency services profession and has far surpassed critical core competencies for personnel serving in senior fire officer po- sitions,” they said in a written press release last week. The distinction of CFO is only awarded to those in the field who successfully complete the commission’s stringent criteria, which is further based on a comprehensive peer review model to evaluate applicants. Included in that process are an assessment of the applicant’s education, their experience in the field of fire safe- ty, technical competencies, contributions to the profession and their involvement in the community. Each applicant must also identify a future development plan. “This was always a career goal for me. I liked the challenge of going through that process for a CFO because I thought it would make me a better fire officer,” said Sitar. He began his career in fire service 34 years ago, on July 1,1984, when he began as a call firefighter in Tewksbury, Massachusetts for nearly two years before moving on to become a paid fulltime member of a department. During that time, Sitar went on to serve as the community’s Emergency Management Director for 26 years and in the course of the last nine years of his service in Tewksbury he was named a Captain/ Shift Commander. Tilton man's arrest for alleged sexual assaults at the Pines stuns community BY DONNA RHODES [email protected] NORTHFIELD — The May 23 arrest of 73-yearold Tilton resident Robert Magoon for sexual assault stemming from incidents occurring at the Pines Community Center is being called a “very difficult time for the Towns of Tilton and Northfield” as they deal with the fact that Magoon, an employee of the recreation facility and former police officer in Franklin and Concord, Wildlife Encounters introduces local crowd to creatures great and small BY DONNA RHODES [email protected] TILTON — More than 170 people enjoyed an up close experience with the wilder side of life last Saturday morning, when Wildlife Encounters out of Rochester brought a variety of animals to Riverfront Park, courtesy of the Tilton Parks and Recreation Commission.

On Saturday, many people of all genders from kids through seniors took a seat on the front platform at the Gilford Youth Center and had their heads shaved to raise money for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation raises money for research, treatment, and support of children with cancer. Including the money raised by shavees, a silent auction, raffles, and a bake sale, the event could raise around $14,000. “Today has been incredible,” said Scott Hodsdon, director of the GYC and host of the event. The event was emceed by Nazzy and Mya of WLNH “They’ve been so excited, they’ve done a great job about spreading the word,” Hodsdon said. Local barbers and hairdressers volunteered their time to shave the many heads of people who came on the podiym. Hodsdon said a lot of people who had their heads shaved have done it before. He said there were also quite a few people who came through the door with no intention of getting shaved who wanted to get shaved before leaving. Additionally there was a silent auction with items donated by people and businesses throughout the community as well as raffles, free food and ice cream, and a bake sale. There was also a bone marrow drive collecting DNA samples for potential matches. Hodsdon said it is likely they will see around $14,000. He announced at the end of the event they had raised over $12,000 from the shavees, though the amounts from the silent auction and other events haven’t been tallied yet. People can continue to make donations through the end of December. Participants were also reminded of the main reason for this event. Many people and groups had their heads shaved in honor of kids who were fighting cancer or who lost their battles. Hodsdon said they met a 4-year-old girl who is a cancer survivor. “She’s full of life,” Hodsdon said. “That’s the reason why we’re Erin Plummer Katie Drouin of Bristol gets her head shaved by Lauren Barton of Gilford Hair Excitement during the annual St. Baldrick’s Day event. adults. here.” “Pediatric cancer Colleen Dansereau, director of clinical res- has always been a little ident nursing at Dana less funded,” Dansereau Farber/Boston Chill- said. “We rely on the dren’s Cancer Center at generosity others to get Boston Children’s Hos- these kids treated.” She said the cure rate pital, spoke at the event.

It came to rest in a ditch approximately 100 feet from the roadway. When officers ar- rived on the scene, they found the driver, 69-year-old Carolyn Heoker of Gilford, trapped in a 2008 Lexus where the impact had thrown her from the driver’s seat into the passenger side of Courtesy Carrying the torch Representatives of the Tilton Police Department and the Tilton Police Explorers, a youth-oriented community service group that works under the oversight of local police, took part in the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run last Thursday in support of the Special Olympics Summer Games, which take place in June at the University of New Hampshire. Each year, the torch is transported by law enforcement officers through communities all across the state, and the run through the Lakes Region last week was one of the final laps before the torch moved on to the State Capitol in Concord. From there, it was taken to UNH to open the 2016 games last weekend. This year marks the 32nd year of a partnership between Special Olympics New Hampshire and officers from every branch of state, municipal, county and federal law enforcement. Over those many years, LETR representatives have volunteered their time and energy to run the symbolic torch through their individual jurisdictions to bring awareness to the games, show their support and raise funds for the hundreds of New Hampshire athletes involved in Special Olympics.

A moose and a bobcat in view By John Harrigan Columnist The very first robins that I really took notice of appeared after an early morning snowstorm on Monday, May 16. I remember it well because I had just returned from a train trip that ended in Seattle, where it was shirtsleeve weather, and wondered what I was doing back in snow. Mom robin was putting the finishing touches on a nest on my porch, and Dad was out there on the snow-covered lawn, listening (and, I think, feeling through his little toes) for worms. Well, things move fast in the spring. As I wrote this on the second day of June, a whole bunch of little beaks had appeared in the nest, with Mom out there hopping around with Dad working to bring home the bacon, or at least the annelid version of it. And not long from now, I’ll get to see these little fluffs try their wings. Didn’t this just happen, like, yesterday? +++++ It’s springtime for sure now, even though there’s still ice under the lee of the dam at Boundary Pond, and readers are sending in some neat photos. Not much has been written in the popular press about two relatively recent developments that have totally changed wildlife photography: trail cameras and cell phones. Cameras strapped to trees and the like that are tripped by movement are really not all that new, their development stretching back over decades, but in recent years have become digital, cheaper, and much easier to set up and use. As for phones and other hand-held devices, the digital photography, range and definition just keep getting better and better. So it’s no wonder that people are coming up with extraordinary wildlife photos and film, and with increasing frequency, sending them to the media. +++++ Ben Haubrich remembered me writing about woebegone yearling moose in a recent column, and sent me a photo of a young moose looking…well, woebegone. “I thought about you when I saw this one yesterday,” he wrote.

Meet Nala, just about three years young, a lynx pointe feline with the most amazing azure eyes, they are particularly lagoon blue and just as alluring. Nala was given to us by her owner who could no longer care for her, it was a wrenching decision but made from a place of love for this majestic girl. She’s rather vocal, as all Siamese are, she would like to be the top cat in your home, and not terribly fond of dogs, but children who are kind and gentle, well, from her perspective, that’s another lap to cuddle in.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR n Thanks for 25 years of support to St. Vincent de Paul To the Editor: The Laconia Conference of St. Vincent de Paul held its annual volunteer appreciation dinner on Monday, May 16. The dinner also celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Conference. The affair was hosted and catered by Contigiani Catering Services at Peasant Ridge Country Club. The Contigiani’s excellent cuisine and service was appreciated by all of the SVdP volunteers. Approximately 160 current and past volunteers who staff and manage the Conference’s four programs - thrift store, food pantry, fiinancial assistance program, and the Children’s Foundation - attended the annual recognition of the volunteer service. As an all-volunteer non-profit organization, such dedication is essential to the effectiveness and efficiency of St. Vincent de Paul in providing needed assistance to some many in the region. In its 25 years of existence, St. Vincent de Paul has never paid any wages or salaries; so more of our donations of clothing, furniture, and cash go directly for community support. Five individuals received service awards: Jea- nette Buckley, Jo Carignan, John Peavey, and Erika Johnson for 25 years of volunteer service and Sue Page for 20 years of service. Many Lakes Region vendors provided “door prizes” for a raffle.

On behalf of these many volunteers and the people we serve, I offer our sincere appreciation to all in the Lakes Region who have supported us. Most of all, I extend my thanks to all the volunteers who havce donated so many hours of their time for the benefit of the Lakes Region over our 25 years of service. Many thanks.

Putnam makes the scene at the Laconia Historical & Museum Society June program LACONIA — “Mr. F.A.” was a “gentle and kindly man,” a man of many talents, an inventor, administrator, a community-minded man and a philanthropist. As a worldwide leader in innovative printing technologies, one of F.A. Putnam Manufacturing Company businesses, “The Ink Company” and a guesthouse, “The Sign of the Wings,” were established on 40 acres just off Mosquito Bridge on the northwesterly shore of Lake Winnisquam called Aviation Point. Wayne Snow will present the “F. A. Putnam and Robert Fogg” program to the Laconia Historical & Museum Society (LHMS) and guests in the Rotary Room of the Laconia Public Li- brary on Monday, June 20 at 7 p.m. Snow has a way of weaving his story and finding connections that seem to tat it into a fine piece of heirloom lace. Frederick Ashabel Putnam was a financier and a very important businessman during the Depression years in the Lakes Region. He was mechanically inclined. The story is told that when he was an infant in the 1860s, his mother took him with her to the mill where she worked. Fred may have become interested in industrial machinery by watching the machinery of the mill, the shuttles and spindles.

Sue Berry is Girl Scouts’ June Volunteer of the Month NORTHFIELD — For Susan “Twinkie” Berry, being a Girl Scout volunteer is more than simply her favorite pastime. It’s a way of life. The Northfield grandmother, who currently leads three different troops, has been honored as Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains’ June Volunteer of the Month. Berry’s relationship with Girl Scouts began when her now 29-yearold daughter entered the first grade and joined a local Brownie troop. “I’ve been involved ever since,” she said. Nearly three decades later, Berry, a retired English teacher who worked at Tilton Middle School for 38 years, enjoys volunteering in many capacities. In addition to leading her Girl Scout troops, Berry serves as her community’s Volunteer Service Coordinator, acting as a mentor to other adult volunteers. She’s also the camp director of Girl Scout Camp Whispering Pines in Meredith, and the Community Product Sales Coordinator for Community #229, which encompasses the towns of Sanbornton, Tilton, Belmont, and Northfield. Asked what her favorite aspect of Girl Scouting, Berry said camp season holds a special place in her heart. “Seriously. If I ever win Megabucks, I’d buy a camp,” she said. While she admits she’s not fond of swimming, Berry said she loves being at camp— the songs, the games, and the beautiful, natural landscape. “But the best part is seeing the girls get so excited,” she added. “I love their enthusiasm.” Berry enjoys spreading that enthusiasm— and the simple joy that comes with helping others in cooperation with other volunteers. As a longtime trainer and facilitator, she has led the Girl Scouts’ Basic Outdoor Living course nearly 40 times and will oversee 22 staff members at Camp Whispering Pines this August. “People love to keep coming back,” said Berry, who most campers know by her nickname, “Twinkie.” The nickname stems from a mouse character in a children’s book she created many years ago, rather than the popular snack cake. That hasn’t stopped several generations of girls and parents from giving her the gift of Hostess snacks year after year. “I’m probably personally responsible for the cakes coming back on the market,” Berry said with a laugh. Her advice to those thinking about volunteering? “The time you put into it is the best thing you can do ALTON — Sandra J. Lindley, 71, of Alton Bay, passed away June 3, 2016 after a courageous six month battle with cancer, at home in the company of family. She was born in Lynn, Mass. on March 5, 1945, to the late Ralph and Dorothy (Smith) Pearson. She lived in Lynn, Saugus and Lynnfield as a youth, and Lynnfield, North Andover, and Alton Bay, New Hampshire as an adult. She is survived by her loving husband of 54 years Jim, daughter Debbie, son Jim Jr., granddaughter Stephanie, brother Kurt, and numerous extended family members and friends spread across the country. Sandy initially spent her years at home focused on raising her two children to be productive members of society. In the mid 1970s, she earned her real estate broker’s license and worked as a broker selling real estate in the greater North Andover area. In the early 1980s, she accepted a position at Merrimack College as an Administrative Assistant, progressing through the Admissions and Student Services offices, eventually being asked to work in the Office of the Vice President. In the ‘60’s, Sandy and Jim took their children boating on the ocean, often cruising to Crane and Wingaersheek Beach. Throughout the late ‘60’s, ‘70’s, and ‘80’s, she spent many weekends year round, and many summer vacations, at her parent’s cottage on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, enjoying snowmobiling, swimming, boating and water skiing with her immediate and extended family. Upon retirement in 2002, Sandy and Jim initially enjoyed life by the pool at their home in North Andover, but were soon drawn back to Lake Winnipesaukee. They moved to Alton Bay in 2004, and enjoyed many spring, summer, and fall days exploring the lake in the family boat – this was Sandy’s favorite activity. They also spent many days touring the White Mountains, Vermont, and Maine over the years, spent weeks touring the continental US via car on numerous trips, often visiting National Parks, and went on a number of cruises, including to Hawaii and the Mediterranean. A lifelong avid reader, Sandy always had a book in progress. She spent her retirement winters with Jim in Naples, Florida, making many new friends that they kept in contact with and traveled to visit once back in New Hampshire. No wake or funeral services will be held. Donations in her memory should be made to the American Cancer Society, Two Commerce Dr., Suite 110, Bedford, NH 03110.

Throughout Ms. Foley’s career, she has been drawn to children with special needs and dedicated to help them reach their full potential. Cindy Foley As the Primary Vaccine Manager at Spaulding Youth Center, Ms. Foley is responsible to create a warm, calming and supportive environment to accommodate the special needs students on campus. Over the past decade at Spaulding, she has developed an exceptional approach to specifically support the unique needs of our special needs students, for whom routine medical procedures can be a challenge. She performs practice sessions with each child, utilizing this opportunity to monitor facial expressions and body language to identify fears or anxieties specific to that student. This additional time and effort enables Ms. Foley to proactively desensitize the student for the actual vaccination. Her approach has enabled the vaccination of hundreds of children, protecting them against vaccine-preventable diseases. “Cindy Foley is one of many invaluable, long- term team members here on campus, and we are so thrilled that her hard work and dedication to Spaulding students was recognized as a leader in New Hampshire by a national organization,” shared James Clements, CEO & President of Spaulding Youth Center. “With her help, several of our most challenging students who arrived with non-medical vaccination exemptions have been brought up-to-date on their immunizations.

Lakes Region businesses welcomed more visitors, and they spent more money than in previous years, and both road and boat traffic was well above the average for the holiday weekend according to area business owners. “The town (of Wolfeboro) was crazy with traffic,” said Lucy Van Cleve, Director of Sales for the Wolfeboro Inn. “We were up from 2015 in both rooms and F&B. All in all, May was up over last year and even over budget! Puts a smile on everyone’s face!” Van Cleve said. Despite significant weather changes from Saturday to Sunday, all of the Lakes Region's businesses benefited. “Memorial Day weekend was busy for the most part due to the good weather; Saturday being the better day for sales. We did beat sales from last year though,” said Lyall Hamilton-Miller, General Manager of Lakehouse Grille in Meredith. Outdoor attractions and recreation were enjoyed during the heat on Saturday while tax-free shopping, dining and indoor attractions were enjoyed throughout the three day holiday. “It was nice to have a weekend where businesses experienced such a positive economic boost,” said Amy Landers, Executive Director of the Lakes Region Tourism Association (LRTA). The NH Division of Travel and Tourism (NHDTTD) predicted visitor counts to be up 5 percent and spending up 6 percent for the summer season. NHDTTD expected more than 600,000 people to visit the state over the weekend with projected spending of approximately $95 million; an increase of five percent over 2015. Travelers to the state are forecasted to reach 16.5 million, a six percent increase from 2015. Businesses in the Lakes Region experienced this increase over the holiday weekend. Mary Ellen Dutton of Kellerhaus in Weirs Beach said, “Saturday was a little quieter than Sunday, Sunday (always the busier day) made up for Saturday putting us 10 percent ahead of last year.” Other businesses echo her comment. “We had a very strong weekend at Gunstock. Zip Tours were up nearly 30 percent compared to last year, and we were up about 10 percent overall. Camping was strong, and summer reservations are up,” said Greg Goddard, General Manager of Gunstock Mountain Resort. Mary Ellen Dutton of Kellerhaus commented on the summer outlook, stating, “Looks like we will all have a rocking summer in the Lakes Region this year!” The Lakes Region Tourism Association offers free information about the area via annual publications: Official Map & Guide and Where To Magazine, and can be reached at 286-8008.

His role was that of a custodian at PCC, sources later revealed. Magoon was immediately let go from his job when police alerted the PCC administrative staff and council as to the allegations made against him. “Northfield police came to us on May 12 to tell us what was happening, and we fired him right away,” said Executive Director Jim Doane. Another immediate action, he said, was to secure the building, now locked throughout the day, and to bring in additional staff members, which are rotated regularly to oversee activity in the building through “fresh eyes” in the course of any given day. “We’ve been working with the Northfield Police, and will continue to work with them for any safety and staff training we need. We’ll do whatever it takes to keep everyone here safe,” Doane said. In their own written press release to the community late last week, the Pines Recreation Council also reached out to reassure everyone by saying, “We would like you to know that the safety and security of the participants of the Pines Community Center is the top priority of the Tilton-Northfield Recreation Council.” The Thursday evening following Magoon's arrest, a public meeting was held at Southwick School that included Investigator Jennifer Adams of the Merrimack County Attorney’s office, Northfield Police and the Merrimack County Advocacy Center and PCC representatives who all addressed the situation and sought to help parents in dealing with children who attend the many programs at the center. Doane said he is also available to speak with parents and fill them in on all the actions being taken by the community center to prevent any future safety concerns. “I’ve already found that in talking with parents, we have made them feel more comfortable by giving them the correct information, which can be a lot different than what they may hearing through the grapevine,” he said. Pines Community Center is a nonprofit agency, serving the towns of Northfield and Tilton by providing after school programs, toddler programs, vacation and summer camps for children of all ages.

In addition, real-time smartphone alerts can be customized based on the types of information each cardholder would like to receive. For example, a cardholder can set up an alert to be notified when their card is used, when a debit card transaction has been approved and exceeds any of their permitted use restrictions, or when a debit card transaction has been attempted, but declined based on the parameters established by the cardholder. CardValet also offers cardholders the ability to link additional accounts to more effectively monitor dependent spending.

He has now been accepted to Clarkson University in Potsdam, N.Y., where he will continue his love of science and engineering. Sanborn said he plans to major in chemical engineering with a minor in bio-med and hopes to one day work in pharmacology or regenerative medicine. “I really want to keep music in my life though, and even though Clarkson is an engineering school, I’ll be able to take music classes at SUNY Potsdam for additional credits, too,” Sanborn said. Last but by no means least, there is the 2016 BHS Valedictorian, Carol Lipshultz, who also resides in Canterbury. Lipshultz comes from a family that has become known for academic excellence as she, in some ways, follows in the footsteps of older sister Kathy, salutatorian for the Class of 2012. Carol Lipshultz however, is leaving her own mark on Belmont High School. She was also a three-sport athlete for most of her high school years, falling out for awhile after an in- jury sidelined her for awhile. Despite that incident, she took part in Cross-Country running, the Nordic ski team and track and field where she ran “anything from the 400-meter to the 3200-meter” races for three years. This year her busy schedule limited her to just the fall cross country team however. Throughout her high school career, she was made a member and vice-president of the National Honor Society and was also named to both the National English and National French Honor Societies, took part in the BHS math team and the Quality Alliance, a new school organization, formed to support alternative lifestyles. Lipshultz also traveled to France with the French Club, played oboe in the school band and was the Student Council representative to the Shaker Regional School Board. Next year she will attend Colby College in Waterville, Maine, the school her older sister just graduated from, where she will study either bio-chemistry or neuro-science. “I’ve thought I might want to go into pharmaceutical development or maybe a neuro-science. I’m not sure just yet; there’s a lot of possibilities,” said Lipshultz. Looking back over her time at BHS, she said she will always be mindful of how hard her teachers worked to present the best opportunities they could for students, not just in education but as personal mentors, too. “I’ll always remember how all of them influenced me in one way or another, especially this year. I had fabulous teachers,” she said. Her peers agreed that teachers were a key to their success at BHS. Brown wanted to thank Coach Mark Dawalga for always supporting and believing in her, while Sanborn said his science teacher Aaron Hayward was a huge influence in “igniting” his interest in the sciences. All three agreed however, that math teacher Allan Sheehy should be “Most Valuable Teacher” in their eyes. “He makes you excited to learn and he’s just so energetic all the time. He’s awesome,” said Lipshultz. Because of the inspiration they received at many levels, both Lipshultz and Sanborn will be receiving Diplomas of Distinction, meaning they went above and beyond to add extra credits to their resume, including special community service projects. Sanborn raised $2,500 for Farnum Center North in Franklin to assist those battling substance abuse and Lipshultz developed a hands-on science program for third through fifth grade students at Canterbury Elementary School. This weekend though, high school accolades will become a part of their past as they prepare for the future and wish everyone they leave behind well in the days and years to come. “We’ve been a class that has really come together over the past few years, but I’m comfortable in saying that the classes behind us will fill our shoes nicely,” said Sanborn. The Class of 2016 will celebrate all of their accomplishments during graduation ceremonies Saturday, June 12, at 3 p.m. at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford. FRANKLIN — Franklin Savings Bank recently rolled out CardValet, a mobile card management application that helps reduce fraud by allowing debit cardholders to proactively monitor accounts using their smartphone, as well as control how, when and where their FSB debit card is used. CardValet is available for download in the Apple® App or Google® Play stores. Once the app is set up, cardholders have the ability to proactively “turn off” their card when not in use, establish transaction spending limits, plus automatically decline a transaction when an amount exceeds a predefined spending limit. “CardValet is ideal for cardholders who want to proactively manage their FSB Debit Cards. CardValet’s inventive and thoughtful approach to card management makes the user experience as easy as possible,” said Ron Magoon, Franklin Savings Bank President & COO. "We are excited to offer this tool to our cardholders. Not only is the service user-friendly and convenient, but it will aid in our continued efforts to prevent fraud and identity theft for our cardholders." CardValet is an excellent fraud deterrent tool. By using CardValet’s GPS capabilities, a cardholder has the option to link their FSB debit card to their mobile phone, which would automatically decline any point-of-sale transaction occurring outside a five mile radius from the location of their mobile Nicole Weisman named to Spring 2016 Dean's List at Bucknell University CONTINUED FROM PAGE A5 established “The Ink Factory” on the shore of Winnisquam by Mosquito Bridge and could engrave or stamp on odd-shaped items, even LIBRARY CONTINUED FROM PAGE A3 is discussing The Martian by Andy Weir on Friday June 17 at 10:30am.

Sanborn, too, was a three-sport athlete, participating in golf, and both indoor and outdoor track where he threw discus and shot put for four years. He was also named to the National Honor Society and the National English Honor Society and was a member of the math team. In addition, he was a member of the BHS chorus, through which he participated in several festivals as a bass singer over the years. His music legacy didn’t end there however.

Stretching more than eight-feet long, the crowd learned much about large snakes like Chester. “Reptiles don’t sweat and they aren’t slimy unless they crawl through something slimy,” he assured the crowd. He also educated them on their habits and the number of bones a snake has, which was a surprise to many who were in attendance. “They actually have 900 bones in their body (mostly in their back and ribs), more than any human,” Small said. Those bones are connected to their thousands of scales and help them navigate across even the most rugged terrain.

Small also took the opportunity to caution people about throwing food out of a car window, which can result in other animals being injured or killed as they seek out what they perceive to be an “easy” meal. A Goanna, an Australian breed of monitor lizard, also intrigued the crowd. Learning they are somewhat venomous however, the audience was advised not to touch him as Small walked him around the pavilion so everyone could at least get a close look at the intriguing reptile. Right after his handsoff presence with the lizard, however, Small brought out Rex the tortoise and Tootsie the pygmy goat so everyone could get a true handson on experience with some of his friends. As Rex slowly made his way across the lawn at Riverfront Park, children walked along with him, stooping down to admire and gently touch his hard shell. Tootsie also strolled the pavilion with Small where she paused to give kisses and nuzzle with everyone she met.

SECTION B THURSDAY THE WINNISQUAM ECHO June 9, 2016 NewHampshireLakesAndMountains.com Raiders fall in quarters to nemesis Bow, 6-2 JEFF LAJOIE The Belmont baseball team walks dejectedly towards the dugout following the post game handshake line in the Raiders' 6-2 loss to Bow in the NHIAA Division III quarterfinals on Saturday. Belmont finished its season with a 14-4 record. BY JEFF LAJOIE [email protected] BELMONT – One way or another, it seems like the Belmont High School baseball team can't escape Bow High School. The visiting Falcons showed up again to ruin the party on Saturday, ending the Red Raiders' season for the second time in three years. Third-seeded Belmont fell behind in the third inning and never recovered, dropping its second game of the season to sixth-seeded Bow, 6-2, in the NHIAA Division III quarterfinals. The Raiders finished their outstanding season 14-4 overall, winning a playoff game (against Stevens) for the second consecutive year but falling one win shy of the Final Four in back-to-back campaigns. “Whatever it is, they've got it,” admitted Belmont head coach Matt LeBlanc of Bow, which also beat Belmont in early April to account for two of the team's four losses this spring. “Bow's a complete team. They never get down on themselves and they're just a solid club, through and through. “Division III all year, you couldn't predict who would beat who,” he continued. “The records didn't matter. There was a logjam in the middle of the standings where a bunch of teams were capable of making runs and you're seeing that in this tournament.” JEFF LAJOIE Belmont's Matt Pluskis waits for a pitch in the second inning of the Raiders' 6-2 loss to Bow on Saturday. The upset bug bit the D-III tourney in a big way. The Final Four teams were seeded fifth (Monadnock), sixth (Bow), 16th (Raymond) and 18th (Hopkinton). Top two seeds Campbell and Conant fell in the second round, with Belmont entering Saturday's quarterfinal as the top remaining seed in the field. “I'm very proud of this group,” LeBlanc said. “With how hard they've worked and how badly they wanted it, I feel awful for them. We knew we'd have our hands full but they deserved to make a run at this thing. I feel terrible.” Bow got on the scoreboard in the top of the third against Belmont starting pitcher Josh Guptill. Austin Beaudette made it 1-0 when he drove in a run on a sacrifice fly, while Conner Lorenz came through with a two out, two-run single to push the advantage to 3-0. The big inning came just after Belmont nearly took the lead in the bottom of the second. Cole Contigiani singled, and Guptill followed with another single to put two on with no outs. After a fly out, freshman Cam Magerer, who had a huge second half of the season, drove a base hit up the middle. LeBlanc waved Contigiani home, but the throw got there just in time to cut down the potential go-ahead run.

Raiders rally, sneak past Newport in wild playoff win BY JEFF LAJOIE [email protected] BELMONT – The end of the season looked a mere moments away. Just two outs from defeat, the Belmont High School softball team needed something to happen – and fast. Trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh, the eighth-seeded Red Raiders just wouldn't go away. Thanks to some shoddy defense from No. 9 Newport, and a prodding ability to put the ball in play offensively, Belmont scored three times in the inning, including a walk-off single from sophomore catcher Jordyn Lavallee, to capture an improbable 4-3 win in the NHIAA Division III second round on June 2. “We knew what we had to do and what we wanted to do (in the seventh), we just had to put the ball in play to get there,” said Belmont head coach Bill Clary, whose team advanced BASEBALL CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 “It was early in the game and I wanted to push the envelope,” admitted LeBlanc of the decision to send Contigiani. “I wanted (Bow) to make a play and they made the play. Give them credit. Definitely not a decision I regret, though.” Trailing 3-0, the Raiders responded quickly in to play top-seeded White Mountains in the D-III quarterfinals after deadline on June 6. “Give credit to the girls, they just kept playing until the very end. It's an eight/nine game... that's what a game like this can bring.” It was a shocking loss for the visiting Tigers, which played well defensively all afternoon before falling apart in the seventh. “We had some really good moments but unfortunately for us, that last inning wasn't one of them,” Newport head coach Sam McNeel offered. “We had what I thought was a few easy plays for us to get out of the inning but give Belmont credit. They didn't just hand it to us in the end. They forced us to make plays and we couldn't do it.” After Newport got the first out of the seventh, Belmont number nine hitter Lizzie Fleming reached on an infield single to bring the tying run to the plate in a 3-1 game. Fellow freshman Julianna Estremera reached on an error, setting up a bunt situation for junior Nicole Antonucci. She got it down, but Newport pitcher Steph Carl's throw to first base was wide of the mark, allowing Belmont to load the bases with one out. “In that situation, all we want is Nicole to get the bunt down because then we have two runners in scoring position and a chance to tie the game,” said Clary. “But all of a sudden, we've got them loaded with one out and our best two hitters coming up.” Junior Taylor Lavallee followed with a ground ball to shortstop. But Newport's Samantha McNeel tossed wide of second base where she intended to get a force out. The ball kicked loose, allowing both Fleming and Estremera to sprint around the bas- es and tie the game, 3-3. “I can't say enough about some of those young kids stepping up and getting on base when we absolutely had to have them come through,” Clary said of his two freshmen who scored to even the contest. With new life and the Newport defense reeling, Shannon Davies followed with an infield single that once again loaded with bases with one out. Forcing the Tigers to pull the infield in to cut down the potential tying run, Belmont walked off with the win thanks to Jordyn Lavallee. She ripped a line drive single down the left field line, plating Antonucci with the winning run and a 4-3 victory that set off bedlam at home plate when the Raiders piled out of the dugout to celebrate. Belmont got off to a solid start in this one, as Davies put the Raiders on the board in the bot- tom of the fourth when she clubbed a solo home run over the left field fence for a 1-0 lead. But Newport finally got to Belmont senior pitcher Megan Prescott in the top of the fifth. With two outs and the bases empty, the bottom of the Tiger lineup came through. The big hit came on a two-run double by McNeel, breaking a 1-1 tie and putting the visitors on top 3-1. It could've been worse, save for Jordyn Lavallee erasing a Newport baserunner at third on an attempted steal. “We got a few runs there but it's tough when you think you let something more go by,” McNeel said. The Raiders put runners on in both the fifth and sixth but couldn't break through, setting the stage for the frantic bottom of the seventh. The game featured two of the hottest teams in Division III, as both squads entered on siz- able winning streaks. The Raiders had won eight straight after a 4-4 start, and their ninth consecutive victory moved them to 13-4 overall entering the quarterfinal against White Mountains. Newport had won eight of nine before the loss, including six straight victories. “We knew they were going to be tough,” said McNeel of Belmont. “Bill always has the program well-coached and well-prepared. We knew facing (Prescott) was going to be a challenge. We've only seen one lefty pitcher all year before her and she kept the ball away from us for most of the game.” Prescott allowed seven hits and three earned runs in seven innings to go along with three strikeouts. The senior did not walk a batter, and she retired the final seven hitters she faced to allow the Raiders a chance to climb back into the game. the bottom of the third. Chris Marden led off with a walk and moved up to second on a base hit from Caleb Drouin. Doug Price singled Marden home to put Belmont on the board, and Guptill delivered a two out single to score Drouin and pull Belmont within 3-2. That momentum would be short-lived however. Bow scored three more runs in the top of the fourth, all coming with two outs. The Falcons pushed runners across on an error, wild pitch and a single to take a 6-2 advantage on the road. Belmont was unable to get any closer the rest of the way, as Bow starter Brendan Winch navigated his way through trouble to toss a complete game. The lefthander, who also shut the Raiders down in the regular season meeting at Bryant Field in April, allowed 14 base runners but only gave in during the two-run third inning. “That's how it was the last time we faced him,” began LeBlanc of Winch. “We hit the ball hard, just like we have all year, but we couldn't string enough hits together to get runs across. (Winch) got the job done. We made him earn it.” Guptill went 5.2 innings on the mound for Belmont, striking out six while walking four and allowing eight hits. Corey Derosier closed things out, tossing a scoreless 1.1 innings. Bow advanced to play 18th-seeded Hopkinton in the D-III semifinals at SNHU, while Monadnock was scheduled to meet Raymond in the other semifinal. The 14-4 season was the most wins for LeBlanc in his six years with the program, as he improved his career mark to 52-51. The squad also lost to Bow in the 2014 opening round, when the Falcons scored seven times in the first inning to breeze to a victory. Falcons in check until the fifth, as he allowed just the single run on two hits before Bow registered five hits in the inning. Harmon struck out a pair in his final career outing. Bow advanced to the D-III quarterfinals on June 4 against third-seeded Belmont High School. The Bears finished the season with a winning record of 9-8, including victories in seven of their final 10 games.

Remillard, the NHIAA Division III state champion in the 400 meters and long jump, qualified for the New England meet in two events thanks to stellar performances at the MOC. She finished fourth overall in the 100-meter hurdles, crossing with a time of 15.80 seconds after qualifying second in the preliminary round (15.62). She also added a fifth place showing in the long jump, improving her state meet-winning leap by 7.75 inches (16 feet, 7.75 inches). With the pair of top six finishes, Remillard qualified for the New England Championships, scheduled for this Saturday, June 11, at Willow Brook Park in New Britain, Conn. She also competed in NEs as a junior and freshman. Remillard completed her busy MOC day with a ninth place finish in JOSHUA SPAULDING Winnisquam's Kaylyn Dion competes in the discus during Saturday's Meet of Champions in Hampton. JOSHUA SPAULDING Belmont senior Kyle Gelinas earned his first-ever New England Interscholastic Track & Field Championship invitation after finishing sixth overall in the 1,600 meters at Saturday's Meet of Champions at Winnacunnet High School in Hampton. Gelinas, along with teammate Eli Allman and Winnisquam's Jaila Remillard, earned invites for the NE meet, scheduled for this Saturday, June 11, in New Britain, Connecticut. the 400 meters (1:00.25) and added a 13th place finish in the 200 meters (27.67). Winnisquam teammate Kaylyn Dion was the only other Bear to compete at the MOC on the girls' side, and she finished 18th overall in the discus with a top throw of 78 feet, five inches. Coe-Brown's Kathleen Collins won the event in 119-5. The Belmont girls' team was powered by the 4x800 relay team that won the D-III state championship the week earlier in Bristol. The quartet of Alexus Day, Emma Chase, Jessica Hutchinson and Jasmine Syed, all underclassmen, improved their time by 13 seconds to finish 15th overall at the MOC, crossing with a time of 10 minutes, 18.03 seconds. Coe-Brown's 4x800 relay squad took home the title with a time of 9:45, while the Raiders were once again the top D-III school in the field. Freshman Alice Riley qualified for the MOC in the 3,200 meters after finishing as state runner-up, but she did not compete due to an injury. In addition to Remillard, the boys' race saw a pair of locals qualify Drouin's grand slam saves Raiders in comeback victory BY JEFF LAJOIE [email protected] BELMONT – Belmont head coach Matt LeBlanc calls senior first baseman Caleb Drouin, 'Miggy,' after Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera. In true Cabrera fashion, Drouin changed the complexion of a game with an absolute rocket of a home run on June 2. With the bases loaded in a 7-7 game in the bottom of the sixth inning, Drouin unloaded on a 3-2 pitch with one out, driving it over the left field fence and out in the blink of an eye. The grand slam proved to be the difference in the game, as the third-seeded Red Raiders came from behind to capture a wild 11-7 win over No. 14 Stevens High School in the NHIAA Division III second round. “I felt really good for the kid,” said LeBlanc of Drouin's grand slam. “He's been a good player for us for four years. He's always capable of losing a ball, and he picked a good time to do it there.” It was a wild game that saw the Raiders fall behind 5-2, only to come back and tie the game, 5-5. Stevens again rallied for two runs, taking a 7-5 lead in the top of the sixth that put the Raiders on the verge of elimination. But like it has all season, the Belmont of- fense responded. In the home half of the sixth, Josh Guptill walked, Matt Pluskis singled, and Cam Magerer drove Guptill home with a base hit – his third of the day – to pull the Raiders within 7-6. Freshman Griffin Embree also singled to load the bases with no outs, and Chris Marden delivered the game-tying hit with a single to plate Pluskis and again draw Belmont even, 7-7. After Stevens finally recorded an out, Drouin stepped to the plate in a prime RBI situation. With the Stevens infield pulled in, he drove a 3-2 pitch over everything in left on a line drive that took hardly no time at all to get out of the ballpark. Just like that, the Raiders had an 11-7 lead. “We've shown all year long that we were able to have good at bats and put the ball in play,” LeBlanc said. “The guys weren't nervous when they fell behind because they now what they're capable of doing offensively.” Junior Corey Derosier, who came on in relief, made the newfound lead stand up, as he retired the Cardinal order in the top of the seventh to secure the victory and send the Raiders through to the quarterfinals for the second consecutive season. “Corey coming in and pitching pretty well those last few innings, he kept (Stevens) at bay and picked us up when we needed him,” LeBlanc said. Magerer gave the Raiders a quick lead early in the game, as his two-run single put the hosts up 2-0. But Stevens scored five runs in the third and didn't trail until Drouin's grand slam in the sixth. for the New England Championships. Belmont senior Kyle Gelinas came through with a big performance in the 1,600 meters, taking sixth overall to nab the final qualification spot with an MOC time of 4:28.77. Joining him as a New England qualifier was junior Eli Allman, the D-III state champ in the 110 hurdles. Allman finished fifth in the event at MOC, punching his ticket to New Britain with a time of 15.93 seconds. He also ran to a 14th place finish in the 300 hurdles, crossing in 41.99 seconds. Rounding out the individual MOC competitors for the Raiders was sophomore Ian Remenar, who bested Allman by half a second in the 300 hurdles to take 10th overall in 41.48. The 4x100 relay team, which broke the school record at the D-III state meet one week earlier, finished 13th overall at the MOC. The quartet of River Mathieu, Colby Leroux, Marc Forgione Jr. and Allman crossed in 46.02 seconds, just behind their school record-breaking time from the week prior. The Belmont 4x400 relay team also qualified and competed at the MOC, as Leroux, Gelinas, Nick Randos and Remenar posted a season-best time of 3:35.70 to take home 14th place overall. Winnisquam senior Mike Buxton, who did not compete at the D-III state meet, nearly earned a New England invitation in the javelin, as his top throw of 155 feet, 11 inches put him seventh overall, just one spot out of the field. Teammate Henry Stock, who won the D-III title in the javelin in Bristol, joined Buxton in the top 10 with a 10th place finish at the MOC. The senior's top throw measured in at 147 feet, three inches. Timberlane's Kyle Faucher won the event in 196-1. Rounding out the day was Winnisquam's Scott Hinds, who competed in the 400 meters and ran 10th overall with a time of 52.97 seconds.

It certainly wasn't a surprise when the 12th-seeded Bears nearly pulled off the postseason upset on June 2. Visiting Winnisquam tied the game late, but fifth-seeded Campbell earned a walk-off victory in a 2-1 win in the second round of the NHIAA Division III Tournament. Trailing 1-0 in the top of the seventh, Winnisquam wouldn't go down without a fight. Down to their final three outs, the Bears got a leadoff triple from junior catcher Ema Atherton, and she scampered home on a wild pitch to tie the game, 1-1. The Cougars (14-3) didn't falter however, answering right back with the game-winning run in the home half of the seventh. The squad had a lead off double, and after advancing the runner to third on a sacrifice bunt, walked off with the 2-1 win thanks to an infield single. Senior Marissa DeBlasie had an outstanding effort in the pitching circle in her final career game. The four-year standout went the distance, striking out four while allowing six hits against the high-pow- ered Campbell offense. Winnisquam had its chances in the loss. Trailing 1-0, the Bears loaded the bases in the sixth inning with no outs but could not convert. They also had a runner on second base in the seventh after Atherton had already tied the game, but Campbell once again danced out of further danger. Winnisquam closed out its 2016 campaign with a 9-8 overall record. The Bears had an up and down season, though they rallied to play some of their best softball of the year in the final weeks of action. Baseball Bow 10, Winnisquam 0 BOW – The Bears played some of their best baseball down the stretch, but the NHIAA Division III second round was not kind on June 2. Sixth-seeded Bow High School got a monster outing from starting pitcher Jeff Bell, as he struck out eight and didn't allow a hit or a walk to lead the Falcons to a 10-0 win over the 11th-seeded Bears. Winnisquam had just two batters reach base on the day, as Jake Snow and Hunter Tierney got on thanks to errors in the second and third innings, respectively. Still, Bow led just 1-0 until the home half of the fifth inning. The Falcons exploded for seven runs in the frame, jumping ahead 8-0, and they SEE BEARS, PAGE B2 N Sun ow O day pen s9 -1:0 0 STIHL CHAINSAWS starting at $159.00 HONDA LAWN MOWERS starting at $389 STIHL STRING TRIMMERS starting at $129.99 SALES PARTS SERVICE
