THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2016 SERVING TILTON, NORTHFIELD, BELMONT & SANBORNTON, N.H. FREE Tilton Zoning Board resigns in protest of alleged hostile treatment by selectmen BY DONNA RHODES [email protected] TILTON — The Town of Tilton is looking for a few good men and women, five to be exact, to fill a void caused by the resignation of all members of the town’s Zoning Board of Adjustment following a disagreement with the board of selectmen. The animosity between the two boards began in June, when a variance was granted for an automotive business on Route 3 in the Lochmere District of Tilton. The ZBA reviewed the request to open such a business across from Winnisquam Auto, and after considering all aspects of the case and the fact that it was in a Mixed Use area, they voted to approve the variance. The selectmen, however, did not agree with that decision once they learned of it. Selectman Katherine Dawson, the representative to the town’s Planning Board, sent a memorandum about the decision to her fellow selectmen, who considered her points and concerns. They then opted to consult an attorney to review the matter and help draft a request for a rehearing on the vari- ance issued. As a result of that challenge, though, the ZBA in turn hired an attorney of their own, which selectmen did agree they were entitled to do. Zoning Board Chairman Joseph Plessner said that when his board learned selectmen had hired an attorney, however, he felt that action “elevated the process beyond a friendly board to board exchange” and they, too, proceeded in the manner they felt was best. The five members then held a meeting on Aug. 16 to revisit the criteria brought before them as a continuance of their prior meeting. At that time the zoning board unanimously upheld their previous decision to grant the variance for the new business. At the close of that meeting, Vice-Chairman Robert Brown read a statement that focused on Dawson's memorandum. He felt that she had been unnecessarily SEE TILTON, PAGE A13 Courtesy Tilton officer graduates from Police Academy Officer Elizabeth Murray of the Tilton Police Department was congratulated by Chief Robert Cormier on her graduation from the 170th New Hampshire Police Academy class following ceremonies held at UNH last Friday.

Community welcomes new town administrator to Sanbornton BY DONNA RHODES [email protected] Donna Rhodes Belmont High School’s new Principal, Dave Williams (left), and Associate Principal Chris Tebo (right) were both very excited for this week’s start of the 2016-17 school year. New principal looking forward to the new school year at BHS BELMONT — Belmont High School’s new Principal, Dave Williams, has his attention firmly fixed on the education of his students and the skilled faculty that make it all possible as they head into the 2016-17 school year at Shaker Regional School District. Williams holds a degree in biology and obtained a master’s in secondary education from UNH and comes to Belmont through previous teaching and administrative positions in Maine and southern New Hampshire. In the course of his career Williams became the assistant principal of a junior-senior high school in Newmarket and later took on the role of principal at York Middle SEE BHS, PAGE A12 SANBORNTON — Sanbornton selectmen were pleased to introduce their new Town Administrator, Katie Ambrose, to residents during a brief reception that took place prior to their regular meeting last Wednesday evening. Ambrose began her new job on Monday, Aug. 15, and said that while she is still learning her way around, she is quite pleased to be a part of the town. “I think Sanbornton’s a great community. The staff has been so helpful and all the citizens I’ve met have been very friendly,” she said. The fact that Sanbornton is such a “tightknit” community is what Ambrose said attracted her to the position to begin with. All through the interview process she said the search committee and everyone she met was warm and welcoming. In addition to that she has a background that includes experience in environmental matters, so Winnisquam Lake and other bodies of water in the town were an added draw for her. “I thought my experiences could be helpful to the community and that this would just be a good fit for me, and so far it is. This is a great team,” Ambrose said, gesturing toward all the town leaders who attended the reception. Selectman Karen Ober said she feels this is an exciting time for Sanbornton. Both she and fellow board members Johnny Van Tassel and John Olmstead look forward to having Ambrose working with them as she brings new ideas and experiences to the town. “Katie has a lot of team leadership and a lot to offer,” Ober said. “It isn’t about being a lone ranger, it’s about how we can all work together for the good of the citizens and the Town of Sanbornton. We’re happy to have Katie as a part of that now, too.” As the selectmen’s meeting got underway, they took a moment to present certificates of appreciation to Police Chief Stephen Hankard, Fire Chief Paul Dexter and Town Treasurer Karen Cobb for their work on the search committee for the new Town Administrator. “The results of the process you went through are shown here tonight. Thank you,” selectmen told the committee. Ambrose comes to Sanbornton after threeand-a-half years as Hooksett’s Project Coordinator in their Administrative Department and can now be reached Monday through Friday at 729-8090 for questions, comments or concerns.

Belmont Police said they were called to 226 Dutile Rd. at 5:04 a.m. that day and upon arrival they found the victim, later identified as Bruce Coulombe, lying in the road. He was treated at the scene by members of the Laconia-Belmont Fire department before being transported to LRGH where the DHART helicopter then airlifted him to Dartmouth. There has been no further word on Coulombe’s condition. Members of the Belknap Regional Accident Investigation Team were also called upon to assist Belmont Police with a detailed analysis of the crash. In a written press release, Lt. Richard Mann stated, “Officers determined that (Coulombe) was not wearing a helmet when his head struck the pavement. At this point in the investigation we are ruling out excessive speed and alcohol as factors.” Investigators are now exploring the possibility that an animal or some other object may have been in the path of the motorcycle, causing the crash. Since Coulombe was unconscious when rescue crews arrived, he was not able to provide them with any details of what might have led up to the accident. Anyone who may have any additional information about this case is asked to call the Belmont Police at 2678350. Courtesy On July 30 and Aug. 6, more than 2,100 Lakes Region households dropped off a total of more than 21,000 gallons of hazardous products, ensuring that these materials will not enter our drinking water or the environment, on which our local economy is so dependent. More than 21,000 gallons of hazardous waste safely removed during collections REGION — For each of the past 29 years residents and property owners in the Lakes Region have had an opportunity to safely dispose of hazardous products from their household, reducing the likelihood of accidents in their home. On July 30 and Aug. 6, more than 2,100 Lakes Region households dropped off a total of more than 21,000 gallons of hazardous products, ensuring that these materials will not enter our drinking water or the environment, on which our local economy is so dependent. Since 1987, the Lakes Region Planning Commission (LRPC) has coordinated household hazardous waste (HHW) collections in the Lakes Region. In 2016, 24 communities pooled their resources, along with a small grant from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Resources (NH DES) to provide their residents and property owners with the opportunity to rid their homes of toxic materials without endangering the Lakes Region’s groundwater or soil. These hazardous materials included oil-based paints, lawn and garden products, household cleaners, automotive fluids, and pool chemicals. The annual collections, held at eight different locations around the region, gave households a couple of opportunities to bring their hazardous materials in for convenient and safe disposal. The number of households participating in this year’s collection was the highest since the establishment of a regional HHW facility in Wolfeboro 14 years ago. While oil-based paints continue to be a large proportion of the materials collected during the annual collections, this year participants also dropped off more than 5,000 gallons of tars, resins, and epoxies, along with 4,000 gallons of pesticides and fertilizers. The continued success of the collection is due to many people, especially the sixty volunteers and municipal employees who turned out to assist with surveys, traffic control, and the unloading of used motor oil and fluorescent SEE WASTE, PAGE A12 Courtesy A Tilton man was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash on Dutile Road in Belmont last week.

It's easy to see why she was selected for this prestigious award; she consistently provides exceptional service and is very deserving on this prestigious award.

He’s walked the length of New Hampshire, from Fitzwilliam to Pittsburg, he’s gone halfway across Canada on cross-country skis, and now, to sort of quote Johnny Cash, he’s been walking the line---the U.S.-Canadian line, the longest unfortified border in the world. Or at least part of it. Anders snagged room and board at the Harrigan Hilton with me a couple of times to stage for his border trek, having sought me out because he heard that I was interested in the border and know a few things about it. I am, and I do. I know, for instance, that crews are kept busy every year or so keeping a 20-foot swath of the border clear of vegetation, from the St. Lawrence River just northwest of Montreal all the way to New Brunswick and the Bay of Fundy. I know that smuggling, a long-standing tradition, is still going on, involving everything from cigarettes to booze to, yes, drugs and illegal aliens. And I know that Quebec hunters maintain camps, some of them fitted out with all the comforts of home, smack along their side the border in hopes of shooting one of our moose, dragging it to their side of the line, and make it disappear “Somewhere in Chartierville” before a Quebec warden shows up. In this scenario, I imagine a similar scene in “Casablanca,” but in this case, it is not a casino that causes shock, shock do you hear, but a dead moose. “What moose?

She arrived at New Hampshire Humane Society as a stray back in May. Perplexingly not one call from anyone looking for their missing companion meant she was available for adoption after the required time we must hold strays had expired. Leia enjoys regular trips off campus with one of her favorite volunteers. She has shown all of us just how much she wants to please and be with humans. She looks to those she is with for instruction and is incredibly obedient knowing many commands. Truly though, a solid bond of mutual love and respect will provide years of happiness to the folks who take that special plunge and adopt Leia. Weighing in at a little over 30lbs, with a lustrous sleek short coat, a perky jaunt in her step and a perpetual smile on her face; what’s not to love about Leia? Ideal home: one that provides activity, walks and hikes, opportunity to meet the world – she might prefer to be the only dog in the home.

Gallagher is running a positive grassroots campaign, and finds it disappointing that this type of activity is taking place in our friendly, local communities. Gallagher, my dear friend, has stated to me, “Political campaigning is at times very arduous but in all instances rewarding, as he travels about in District 2, he has often mentioned to me that everyone whom he has met has been receptive and encouraging. The fruits of hard work will pay off, he often reminds me. Brian has been very encouraged by those whom he has spoken with in the law enforcement commu- nity, that they will soon identify those that are responsible for the removal of the signs. Brian’s optimistic attitude of working together can achieve many successes for all of the communities in this large District. State Senate District 2. Guy J Giunta, Jr. Sanbornton P.S.: Personally, I would be very careful for those taking down signs because as they used to say on an old television show, “Smile, you are on Candid Camera”; lots of homeowners these days now have surveillance cameras. Remember, those taking down anyone’s sign should be aware that it is against the law, but if those individuals continue this illegal activity, you may want to smile, because you may be on camera. Hunter Taylor deserves to represent District 3 To the Editor: As a member of the Belknap County Union Negotiating Team, it has been a pleasure to serve alongside County Commissioner Hunter Taylor these past 18 months. Commissioner Taylor, as the leader of our team, provided the guidance necessary to overcome the many obstacles we faced in securing signed labor agreements. Our negotiating team faced a situation where union employees had not had a pay raise or signed labor contract since 2012. We had to negotiate with two different unions and four different bargaining units, each with unique concerns and objectives. We had to craft a different contract for each bargaining unit while making sure that all final contracts were equal in cost to the county taxpayer. In two different negotiations, we reached an impasse, and it was Commissioner Taylor who suggest- ed a solution that made it possible to move forward. The final result of this year’s negotiations was three signed labor contracts, two of which were approved unanimously by union members and the County Convention. In addition to his negotiating skills, Commissioner Taylor has demonstrated a dogged attention to detail and ability to “think outside the box”. These skills helped significantly in the final design of the new Belknap County Correctional Facility ultimately saving Belknap County taxpayers approximately $34 million. For the above reasons, I support Hunter Taylor for County Commissioner. I don’t live in District 3, so can’t vote for him, but as a county resident, I have an interest in his winning the seat.

LRPA offers a front row seat to “The Most Dangerous Game” Classic suspense tale is this weekend's After Dark feature LACONIA—Join Lakes Region Public Access Television at 10:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday night (August 26 & 27) for our “LRPA After Dark” presentation of 1932’s mystery-adventure “The Most Dangerous Game,” starring Joel McCrea, Fay Wray and Leslie Banks. “The Most Dangerous Game” opens aboard a luxury yacht sailing to South America. One of the passengers is big game hunter, author and adventurer Bob Rainsford (McCrea). The ship runs aground on a coral reef in dangerous, shark-infested waters. Several passengers enter the ocean but only Rainsford survives the shark attacks, swimming to a remote island. Looking for help, he comes upon the jungle fortress of Count Zaroff (Banks), an exiled Russian aristocrat. He also meets other victims of recent shipwrecks, including Eve Trowbridge (Wray) and her brother Martin. The Count, himself an avid sportsman who has turned the island into a private hunting preserve, knows of Rainsford’s hunting prowess and is delighted to host him as his island’s newest “guest.” Eve confides to Rainsford that she feels something is not right on the island – several other survivors have recently gone missing. Searching the fortress, they come across a room filled with big game trophies, and one of them is a man’s head! Rainsford realizes that the Count is a madman who hunts humans for sport. Rainsford and Eve soon find themselves as the prey in the most dangerous game! How will they escape with their lives? “The Most Dangerous Game” began production at RKO Studios at the same time as “King Kong.” The films had the same producers, so to save money, they shared several of the same actors (notably, Fay Wray) and jungle sets, as well as the same editor, screenwriter and composer. Fans of “Kong” may feel a similar style and pace to “The Most Dangerous Game.” The film was very well received during its time by critics and moviegoers alike. Although the story has been adapted for film many times throughout the years, our version is considered to be the closest to the original story and still the very best. All three leads give solid performance, particularly Leslie Banks as the over-the-top Count Zaroff. In his review, Mordaunt Hall of the New York Times noted, … “Through the imaginative fashion in which it has been produced … the fantastic theme of ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ makes a highly satisfactory melodrama.” What are you waiting for? Grab your popcorn and meet us after dark for this vintage thriller. duced by and for the people of the greater Lakes Region.

"It was amazing to see the joy on these young dancer's faces when they realized they had won and all of their time, energy, and hard work paid off." Said Harrington. Karina Tomlinson, a graduate of Gilford High this past June, received an award for the highest scoring solo in the senior division for her solo "Tap Talk.” Harrington also received the choreography award for this solo, as well as the group dance "Strings.” "It is hard to believe it is over," Harrington said. The dancers started working on their dances a year ago. They will now start on their new choreography for the upcoming dance season.

Speaking with many investors gives me insight as to what their objectives are when investing their money. Often times, they come in my office with some mutual funds that are categorized as growth or income, large-cap, small-cap, international, and a bunch more. Eight or nine years ago I had given some presentations regarding socially responsible or impact investing. Often times, these talks attracted those who lean towards those environmental minded. As the word got out that I was designing portfolios of investments specifically based on people’s principles and values, I found that almost everyone wanted to tailor their portfolio and invest in companies that they felt good about and more importantly, avoid those companies or industries they despised. The “socially responsible” tag was often stuck on those with politically left leanings who did not like companies such as Walmart, Exxon Mobil or a host of other companies whose practices they questioned. I have also had clients that sold their mutual funds because they had Internet related companies like Google a.k.a. alphabet, because these clients were concerned about Internet pornography. I have had clients tell me they do not want GE in their portfolio because the current CEO is an economic advisor to the current administration in Washington, D.C. and political crony. I believe most people do have their opinions, likes and dislikes and principles when it comes to investing their money. As an advisor there are certain companies that I would not invest my own money based on my principles. But my principles are not your principles, you must voice your opinions and principles as to where you want your money invested and where you do not. It’s very difficult to eliminate all companies that you may have an issue with, but identifying beliefs based on your principles that are important to you and then talking to your advisor about it is a great start. There are plenty of great companies whose equity or debt you can buy for your portfolio that can fit your criteria. If you choose to plow your money into mutual funds, you must understand that you may have an issue with many of these companies in the fund’s portfolio. There are a few “socially responsible” funds but they may not reflect your principles, likes and dislikes at all. There are some great advantages to building your personal portfolio BELMONT — The Belmont Heritage Commission returns the vaunted Newmont Military Band for a Sunday, Aug. 28 concert beginning at 2 p.m. on the historic Bandstand.

On Sunday, more than 2,400 athletes from as nearby as Gilford to as far away as Australia took on the 70.3-mile triathlon, also known as a half-Ironman. Michelle Verschelden and her husband Michel Guay came to the race from SaintJean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, along with Michelle’s brother Luc Verschelden. Michelle Vershelden has done about a dozen 70.3-mile triathlons and four Ironman’s. She and her husband do many triathlons to- 2016 Salmon Press Fall Home Improvement gether. During the summer months they will train between 12 and 14 hours a week and closer to 18 to 22 hours as the event draws closer. This was Michelle Verschelden’s third time doing Timberman. While she lost 10 minutes this year, she said she did better than in 2014. Overall, she enjoyed this year’s race, saying the weather was perfect for racing. “The lake us wonderful, and the temperature is good,” Guay said. “Not too hot, not too cold.” “We come back because we really enjoy being here, it’s really welcoming,” Michelle Verschelden said. “The volunteers are really, really nice.” This was Luc’s first ever triathlon.

He kept with that promise, saying he does what he says. He said he likes challenges in general. “He was really stepping up his training and he did really well with his first time,” Michelle Verschelden said. Luc Verschelden said he loved it, saying the scenery was superb. “The people were amazing,” he said, saying the volunteers were especially great. Ken Modica of Philadelphia and Mary Caruso from Connecticut have been doing Timberman since 2009. “This is a nice event,” Modica said. “The community really supports it, which is nice.” Both of them are regular triathlon competitors, other competitions they have done include Lake Placid, Atlantic City, and Philadelphia. They both train between 15 to 20 hours a week. Julie Gliesing of San Antonio flew to the area for her first time doing Timberman. She has been doing triathlons for 15 years, starting as a teenager with the support of her parents. Now she does an average of eight triathlons a year, including three half-Ironman’s, Olympic distance, and others. This was her first Timberman. She is originally from Connecticut and heard of the race there. Her friend David Peyser was doing his first ever half-Ironman at Timberman and she wanted to join along with him. “It was a fantastic race, I loved it especially the bike course,” Gliesing said. “They did a really good job of just making it fun.” Gliesing said she mostly does triathlons for fun. “Just really have a good time doing it,” Gliesing said. While doing these events is a lot of work, “To me I want to do this just for the fun of it.” LOCAL NEWS WINNISQUAM ECHO August 25, 2016 A11 n Belknap House receives grant from New Hampshire Charitable Foundation LACONIA — Belknap House recently received a $35,000 grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation for the installation of a fire sprinkler system. During the cold weather months of Oct. 15 to May 15, the shelter will provide temporary living quarters for homeless Belknap County families with children. Families will be helped to find housing and to increase self-reliance. The shelter must have a code-approved sprinkler system in place before opening. In accepting the grant, Belknap House Board President Colleen Garrity remarked, “This is such a generous donation from a group who understands the needs of children and the concerns of homeless families during cold weather months. I speak for the Belknap House Board of Directors in saying how grateful we are for the support of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. We cannot do this alone. We need the community support of individuals, businesses, and civic organizations. The grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Lois G. Roy Dickerman Fund will be truly instrumental in moving us forward.” Belknap House is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 to provide families in Belknap County with safe shel- NOTEBOOK CONTINUED FROM PAGE A4 trail?” Anders is not the first such story-chasing writer to stay at my house, which indeed sometimes seems like a hotel. Larry Millman, author of 16 books and perhaps best known for “Last Places,” stayed with me too, and had fascinating tales about life among the High Arctic’s people. Anders reminds me of him, more at home alone in the wild than dealing with sidewalks and scads of people. Anders had heard about something I’d written a while back about a pin-prick on the map where the boundaries of Maine, New Hampshire and Canada meet, a storied place established by the 1842 Webster-Ashburton Treaty, tweaked by small adjustments from more precise surveying ever since, and finally marked permanently by various obelisks and geodetic brass markers hammered into boulders and bedrock. Using rod, chain and compass to initially mark the line, the 1843 Ashburton crew fought its way north through the elements and thickets, through swamps and over mountains, to ascertain roughly John Harrigan Anders Morley, ready to cross the beaver dam and disappear into the woods. where northern New England and Quebec met. A bit later on, a surveying crew marking the Maine-New Hampshire line fetched up on the Quebec line, piled up a large cairn of rocks, and carved their names and the date into the trunk of a yellow birch tree. This carving endured for decades, an object of fascination for generations of surveyors and hunters alike. Anders wanted to do that stretch of the border from Maine to Vermont, and see that spot, and so one bright morning we piled into my truck and took off for Pittsburg’s Boundary Pond, in a high saddle just a stone’s throw from the Canadian line. The tri-border spot ter during cold weather months. It is at this time that homeless children are particularly at risk. The shelter will link families with the resources and educational opportunities needed to become self-sufficient. Belknap House plans to open in October 2016 through the generosity of residents and local businesses as well as charitable, community and religious organizations.

There I dropped Anders, who splashed across the beaver dam, drew a bead on a densely wooded ridge, and with a wave headed straight north. “I found the border, no problem,” he said later, “and then backtracked a few hundred yards to find the meeting point. There was no fabled yellow birch any more, but there was a nice little granite obelisk, and the Maine line was newly marked with yellow diamonds tacked to trees.” With that, he headed west, bound for the Pittsburg-Chartierville border station, and ultimately the Vermont state line. And he made it all right, after spending two nights out, one of them on a Quebec moose-hunter’s platform. (Anders is writing about his border hike for an upcoming issue of New Hampshire Magazine.)

During the awards Cafrae said this was her first time doing the Timberman. “We had beautiful conditions,” Cafrae said. “I feel like the swim was absolutely pristine.” She said the roads were great for the bike race it was “not too hot on the run.” She congratulated her competitors, espe- cially Tisseyre. “She was tough to beat today,” Cafrae said. Cafrae also recognized the work of the volunteers. equally sincere. Williams said that since his start date of July 1, he has met one-on-one with each of the teachers to hear their thoughts, needs, and hopes for the future and is excited about all he has learned from them. “Through our discussions we’ve come up with a mosaic of the school, its needs and its strengths,” said Williams. “I’ll be keeping all that in mind as I spend this year watching and learning more about the school.” That will include spending time in the classrooms where, as an instructional leader, he feels he will get a better grasp of all that takes place at Belmont High School. As the new school year gets underway Williams is also excited to bring on board a new Associate Principal, Christopher Tebo, who will partner with him in his goals. As part of the search committee to find a new Associate Principal, Williams was pleased Tebo accepted the offer to join him at Belmont High School. “Our relationship is critical, and I think we make a great team. He’s young and has a lot of energy, and I know we’ll get along great,” said Williams. Tebo comes to Belmont from Spaulding High School in southern New Hampshire where he was a Social Studies teacher. As sought to move up with his career in education, Tebo said the opening in Belmont was brought to his attention and he knew right away it was the perfect fit for him. “I came here for a number of reasons, first of all because I worked in the development of Competency Base Education and when the opportunity to come to Belmont and work with Dave presented itself, I couldn’t pass it up,” said Tebo. He said that now is an exciting time to be involved in education and he is just as excited about his new career in Belmont. A recent Parents’ Night was held when families were introduced to the new Competency Based Education program their students will be experiencing and Williams said the program was very well received. Competency Based Education, he explained, is much more focused on the learning process and what goes on in the classroom than on the test grades students achieve. Through greater learning and understanding of a subject, he said, students will have a better grasp of their overall education and therefore achieve higher test grades. “I want competency based learning, not competency based grading. I want teachers to finally get to focus on teaching and learning, not grades. Throughout the year we’ll have a lot of professional development workshops for that focus on academic excellence,” Williams said. Students, parents and the community will not be left out of the equation either. Williams said student voices will be heard and he will schedule periodic coffee time chats with parents and the community to hear their ideas and concerns as well. While all those initiatives have him excited to be a part of Shaker Regional School District, the only thing missing this summer has been the students themselves and he eagerly awaited the first day of school, which was this Tuesday. “I’m just really excited to get them in here. This school is the perfect size where I can get to know them all by name, celebrate their strengths and the strengths of the staff members who work with them,” Williams said.

Plessner also read a lengthy statement of his own, stating that the board had served the town as volunteers, doing their best to serve in good faith and through sound judgment based on evidence and fact in rendering their decisions. “Recently, the Board of Selectmen challenged our decision in ZBA Case 16-01, wherein relief was granted in the form of a variance by applying criteria specified in RSA 674:33 to allow the owner reasonable use of his property,” he read from a prepared statement. He said that from the tone of Dawson’s memorandum he and others felt the zoning board would be “under a microscope” in the future, and therefore concluded by saying, “It saddens us that de- spite our long-standing acquaintances with the BOS members and our appreciation for the responsibilities that they bear, not one of them rose to verify the accusations and threats by Dawson. That being said, it seems the best way to resolve this matter is for you to consider this our formal notice of resignation by the below listed members of the ZBA, effective Sept. 1, 2016.” Plessner, Brown, George Helwig and Kathy Yeo all affixed their signatures to the document, while Marina Sumner opted to send in her own personal letter of resignation instead. wanted to bring to the attention of her fellow selectmen her own findings that revealed many of the automotive businesses along Route 3 are of nonconforming use. They have only been allowed by past special exceptions and variances, a practice that she feels needs to come to an end. She said there are many residential homes in and behind businesses along the Mixed Use zone in Lochmere and that past zoning boards allowed nonconforming businesses to creep into the area, going against the town’s Master Plan. Building on those past decisions is not making the situation any better for the future of the town. “For me it’s just frustrating. The ordinances voted on by the legislative body really need to stand,” said Dawson. As for the selectmen’s reactions to her memorandum, she thought that by questioning the decision of the case, the “ball was in their (the ZBA’s) court” but instead they chose not to come to selectmen to have a discussion on the topic. “I would have even gone to one of their meetings to sit down and have a discussion with them if they couldn’t come to us,” Dawson said. “But I want to point out that it was not Katherine Dawson who made the motion to go forward with a request for a rehearing- it was the Board of Selectmen.” The ZBA did not see it that way however and now the town is in search of a new group of volunteers willing to take on the job of overseeing ordinances in their community. In the meantime there are no exceptions that can be allowed to any ordinances in the town without a zoning board to appeal to. That alone could bring another host of challenges if a new board is not assembled in a reasonable amount of time. Dawson speculated that even the ZBA’s final variance on Case 16-01 is not yet a sure thing. It could now be up to selectmen to make that decision. “No one wins in this and the biggest loser is the young man down there trying to make a living. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens from here,” Dawson said. Chairman Pat Consentino of the Board of Selectmen said she would be happy to welcome back any of the five members who recently gave up the job, acknowledging their experience, dedication and willingness to volunteer their time for the sake of their community. All others who may be interested in serving on the Zoning Board are also asked to contact the Selectmen’s office at 286-4521, ext. 100 for more information. Dawson said on Monday that she was saddened by the resignations, acknowledging the years of experience each of the ZBA members had dedicated to the town.

With the NHIAA Division III bracket opening up thanks to a bevy of upsets, the Red Raiders looked destined to make a run with a deep and talented roster.

The visiting Cougars ended the Raiders season prematurely, sending Belmont packing with a 1-0 loss.

This was Phantom Retractable Screens for those “Hard to Screen” Areas! only the second game all year where we didn't score a goal.” While the loss thwarted the Raiders in their quest for a state championship, the good news for Belmont is that this year's team is once again locked and loaded, and a deep run is well within the realm of possibility. Belmont's senior class has excelled on the varsity stage for years, and if all the pieces fall into place, the Raiders will certainly have a chance to return to the program's first Final Four since 2012. “With the return of a veteran team our expectations are very high,” offered Foley. “Our season ended too soon last year and this group wants to make it further in the tournament. We are going to rely on our ability to move the ball quickly and continue to improve on our defense which only surrendered 12 goals last year.” Who's in: It's very much a veteran team, SEE BOYS, PAGE B3 Single & French Doors Motorized Porch Screens 8 Standard Colors Custom Design and Installation There when you need them, gone when you don’t! 580 Tenney Mountain Hwy, Plymouth 536-1205 166 South Main Street, Laconia • www.granitestateglass.com • 524-0407 536-1205 Sports Editor - Joshua Spaulding - 569-3126 (phone) - 569-4743 (fax) - [email protected] SPORTS B2 August 25, 2016 WINNISQUAM ECHO n Bears shoot for continued improvement BY JEFF LAJOIE [email protected] TILTON – Three years ago, Nick D'Agostino took over a program that was down on numbers and down on success. The Winnisquam Regional High School boys' soccer team struggled in his first season, winning just two games, but last year's team stepped up both in numbers and success. The Bears won seven games, posting a 7-9-1 overall record and qualifying for the NHIAA Division III postseason. After a 1-5 start to the season, the team posted an outstanding 6-2 mark to get back to .500 before the final portion of the schedule. After a 2-0 loss to Newfound in the D-III first round, Winnisquam will look to continue the upward trend of success this fall in D'Agostino's third season with the program. There will be some big hurdles for the Bears to overcome this season however. Despite graduating just five seniors, there were some key losses in that class, including several starters and captains who had been lynchpins of the starting lineup for several years. With the ability to field two teams last year (JV and varsity), Winnisquam hopes the extra reps will pay off this season. The D-III field won't be easy to navigate, but the Bears more than held their own in 2015 and hope to do the same again. “The team returns six starters from last year's team,” said D'Agostino. “The young team adds nine new additions in a sophomore/junior loaded team. The team will work towards returning to the playoffs and try to improve on last year's success.” The 2016 season kicks off Aug. 26 with a home game against White Mountains (3:30 p.m.), and the Bears follow with tilts against Campbell and Somersworth in a difficult following week. Who's in: The sophomore class is quite large, with a plethora of youngsters stepping into the squad. Sara Chambers (D/M), Der- JEFF LAJOIE Winnisquam junior Caiden Gamble is one of the top returners for the Bears this fall. ek DeSousa (D), Calvin Dodge (M/F), Adam Dunham (GK), Trevor Gray (GK), Hunter Hinxman (M), Patrick Welch (D), and Samuel Wood (M/F) are all sophomores on the roster, while freshman Eric Young (M/F) is the lone member of his grade on the squad. Who's out: After an outstanding career, goalkeeper Mike Buxton graduated last spring and leaves a huge void in the Winnisquam lineup this fall. Buxton was one of the top keepers in D-III, and the longtime starter between the pipes was a two-time All-State selection as well as a co-captain. Fellow co-captain Henry Stock also graduated after a fine career JEFF LAJOIE Trenton Kennett of Winnisquam returns as one of the top offensive options this season. sharing time between the midfield and defensive portion of the field. Stock was also an AllState pick a year ago, and his physicality and strong boot were always counted on for the Bears. The tandem were arguably the most important players for Winnisquam a year ago and their losses are difficult, but fellow classmates Issiah Millis (defense) and Jake Hinds (defense) will also be missed as they provided a variety of skills that impacted the lineup in a big way. Who to watch: Junior midfielder Caiden Gamble has been a key piece to the starting lineup since bursting onto the scene as a freshman, and he continue to de- liver last year as a star midfielder. Gamble's biggest moment of 2015 came against Newfound in a regular season contest, as his corner kick in overtime somehow found its way into the back of the net for a goal that sealed a 3-2 victory. Forward Trenton Kennett also showed his flare for scoring goals a year ago, and he had his best game of the season in a midseason victory over Laconia. Kennett scored three goals, posting a hat trick that lifted the Bears to a key win over the Sachems. Senior Scott Hinds made his bones defensively a year ago and returns to help shore up that unit. Seniors Logan Krause (M/D) and Conner Young (D) round out that class, while juniors Jesse Fredette (M), Edward Gallien (F), and Mark Sotherden (M) also return. Prediction: How quickly the Bears can plug new players into those key holes throughout the lineup will be the key to success this fall. But with six starters back, including some dynamic young players, don't expect Winnisquam to be an easy out come late October and early November. Impressive senior class to power Raiders BY JEFF LAJOIE [email protected] BELMONT – For the past five years, the goal for the Belmont High School girls' soccer team has continually been the same: reach a Final Four. That won't change this fall, as the Red Raiders return a horde of talented veterans and appear loaded for a shot at that elusive Final Four berth. The squad posted an 11-6-1 record a year ago, beating Newport in the preliminary round of the NHIAA Division III Tournament before falling to Hopkinton, 3-0, in the quarterfinals. The loss was the fourth in five years for Belmont in the quarterfinals. Last year's team got a big boost from a freshman class ready to contribute immediately.

New head coach Cevat Vural takes over the program this fall, and he inherits a roster rich with talent that also boasts the ability of depth throughout the various grades. Who's in: Belmont will be bolstered by some talented newcomers, as freshmen Katie Gagnon and Sana Syed are on the squad, as are sophomores Paige Dillon and Kaitlyn Delisle. Who's out: The Raiders didn't graduate a ton of starters from last year's team, though arguably the biggest loss comes on defense in the form of Courtney Clairmont. The vocal leader of the back line, she was a long-time starter and lynchpin in the middle for Belmont. Midfielder Megan Prescott also graduated after making key contributions for several years, while backup goalkeeper Clorissa Roode and midfielder/ defender Jen Hamilton also moved on. Who to watch: The returning core is powered by senior Kelsey Scott, who has occupied the center midfield role for the Raiders for several years and was the team's lone representative on last year's All-State squad. Scott's combina- JEFF LAJOIE Senior Hannah Shirley helps power a dynamic Belmont midfield attack. tion of skill and patience on the ball makes her a dangerous offensive option, though she's also a two-way player willing to make the runs back defensively to handle her assignments. The senior class is plenty loaded in addition to Scott, as goalkeeper Mariah Watson returns for her third year between the pipes. Watson made 16 saves in a busy outing against Hopkinton in the D-III quarterfinals. Midfielder Hannah Shirley was a great complement to Scott last year and returns with loads of experience, while classmates Sarah Chase and Emma Chase are both varsity veterans who can fly on the outside midfield slots. Defensively, senior Jasmine Syed, junior Chloe Sottak and sophomore Lizzie Fleming all return after starting along the back line a year ago. Sophomore speedsters Julianna Estremera and Makenzie Donovan are also back after playing important roles as freshmen a year ago. Estremera was one of Belmont's most dangerous offensive weapons at the forward position, while Donovan is versatile enough to see a variety of spots on the pitch. Prediction: There have been many talented teams over the past six years for the Raiders, but none have been able to get over that quarterfinal hump. The longer the streak has gone on, the more daunting it has become, though there's no reason why this year's squad can't exorcise those demons and break through into a Final Four. The combination of talent and experience should have the Raiders in prime position come November, but putting it all together for an 80 minute game in the quarterfinal round is something that Belmont has been unable to do in recent years. Could this be the year that changes? SPORTS WINNISQUAM ECHO August 25, 2016 B3 n Deep, talented Bears primed for big season BY JEFF LAJOIE [email protected] TILTON – For the third year in a row, the Winnisquam Regional High School field hockey team saw its season come to an untimely end in the NHIAA Division III quarterfinals last year. But after graduating just one senior from that team, the time is now for the deep and talented Bears to surge forward and make a run at an elusive Final Four appearance. Winnisquam posted an 8-6-2 mark a year ago under head coach Cherie Snow, who enters her sixth year with the program. The Bears upset Stevens on the road to advance to the quarterfinals, where they ultimately dropped a 1-0 decision to Hopkinton in a game they pretty much dominated, holding an 8-3 edge in penalty corners. Winnisquam got off to a slow start in 2015, as the Bears found themselves just 2-4 before a 6-2-2 mark over the final 10 games of the season JEFF LAJOIE Winnisquam senior Ema Atherton moves the ball past a John Stark player during action last fall.

Who's out: There's plenty of returning talent for the Raiders, though the squad did take some key losses to graduation. Forward TJ Hennessey was the team's leading scorer up top, and the hulking forward was a matchup nightmare with his combination of size and speed. For his efforts, Hennessey was tabbed as a First Team All-State selection, and one of a handful of players in the running for the D-III Player of the Year. He's continuing his playing career internationally this year, competing with the GPS International Academy in London, England. While Hennessey's loss is a big blow to the Belmont offense, the defense also took a big hit in the graduation of All-State Honorable Mention selection Kyle Gelinas. The heady Gelinas was one of the most consistent players for the Raiders over the past two seasons, and he helped run the show right in the middle of the back line. Colby Leroux was a contributor at the outside midfield positions for the Raiders last year before graduating, while rising sophomore Ca- ra Adams and her USFS and PSA registered staff coaching everyone from beginners to experts, from age three to 300. Two local “experts” include Tilton sophomore Maggie DeVoy and Bishop Brady freshman Ila Bartenstein. Both girls have been with the club since early elementary school and have taken their skating careers seriously, skating year- round several times a week and have brought that expertise and passion to young skaters at Magic Blades, training as coaches under senior staff to not only perfect their skating, but their teaching as well. Skating begins Monday, Sept. 12, at the Tilton School Ice Arena. Beginner lessons start at 6 p.m. Tuition is $80 for six weeks, and there are family discounts available. Tilton School leb Duggan saw time as a freshman last year but transferred to New Hampton School. Who to watch: Where to begin? The Raiders are absolutely loaded with returning talent, and the deep and sizable senior class has impacted the program for several years now. Senior goalkeeper Jonny Leclair is the backbone between the pipes, and he's been the team's starter in that spot since his freshman season. Having that kind of continuity is certainly not a bad thing, and he's developed into an outstanding goalkeeper who was tabbed All-State Honorable Mention last year. Fellow seniors Corey Derosier and Doug Price also return, and both found their way onto the All-State list a year ago as juniors. With the pair holding things down in the midfield, Belmont dominated teams in the middle third of the field, leading to a constant barrage of transition goals. Seniors Tyler Fleming and Chris Marden also return after starting last year, while classmates Logan Wilder and Ryan Gelinas are back as top forward options. Seniors Eli Allman (M), Cole Contigiani (F), Hunter Kenney (D/F), Nick Mackes (M), and Max Schott (M) all re- turn as well. Junior River Mathieu will serve as a tri-captain along with Price and Derosier, and he'll set the pace defensively with Kyle Gelinas having graduated. The sophomore trio of Caleb Burke, Zach Ennis and Nolan Gagnon all saw varsity time last year as freshmen. Prediction: With Leclair in goal and the tandem of Derosier and Price leading the way in the field, expectations are indeed high for the Raiders this fall. Replac- ing Hennessey's offensive production will be on the 'To Do' list, as will stabilizing the defense with Kyle Gelinas graduating. But with all the pieces returning as well forts. Junior midfielder Makenzie Snow is another standout returning player who has been a constant presence in the lineup since her freshman year, while seniors Cora Kelley and Jenna Roy are also returning starters in the midfield. Senior Sabrina Bellerose and junior Kaylee Tierney also return for the Bears. There's plenty of returning firepower offensively, as seniors Ema Atherton and Molly Tinker both return, as do junior speedster Emily Decormier and classmates Lilli Keegan and Lindsey Phelps. In the goal, junior Riley Toupin returns after starting both her freshman and sophomore years between the pipes. The Winnisquam defense proved quite stout down the stretch a year ago, and Toupin was a big reason for the team's stinginess. Prediction: Area coaches are all pointing to the Bears as a team to watch in D-III this fall, and with their combination of depth and talent, that tag appears to be warranted. With an experienced goalkeeper pacing things from the back, Winnisquam is well-positioned to make some noise and potentially press forward for a Final Four berth. With talented and hungry players like Clogston, along with McNamara and Snow, both All-State Second-Team picks a year ago, leading the way, it's as dangerous of a team as you're going to find this fall. as some up and coming talent filling in the gaps, a run to the Final Four and a challenge for a D-III title is certainly within reason for Belmont this season.
