Veterans Home pays tribute
to victims of Sept. 11 attacks
BY DONNA RHODES
[email protected]
TILTON — “Their
sacrifices shall not be
in vain. Let us always
remember. Let us never forget,” said Army
veteran Thomas Wiley,
State Commander of
the American Legion
Department of New
Hampshire during last
Sunday’s Patriot Day
Observance at the New
Hampshire
Veterans’
Home in Tilton.
On the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks
on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon,
and the thwarted fourth
attack when civilians
aboard United Airlines
Flight 93 crashed it into
a field in Shanksville,
Penn., Wiley said there
was one thing special he
recalls about that day.
It was a day that united
the country, bringing
everyone together.
“It was an act meant
to cause confusion in
the United States of
America, but what happened is, it caused more
resolve among Americans,” he said.
The
residents
of
NHVH began their tribute last Sunday morning
with an invocation by
Chaplain David Clark
of the Resident Council
and the Pledge of Allegiance led by Sergeantat-Arms Richard Milyaro.
Bill Bertholdt, president of the council, also
had several observations about that dark
day in American history. He noted that plans
to build the 110-story
He said he is sad to
step down as a selectmen
and wished he could at
least finish his term,
which ends next March.
The harsh reality however is that his job has
to come first and he just
can’t continue to do both
at the level of commitment they each require
and deserve.
Van Tassel’s twoweek notice gave the
board time to seek letters of interest from
those who would like to
fill the remainder of his
term and on Sept. 14 they
were scheduled to re-

Van Tassel resigns from
Sanbornton Select Board
BY DONNA RHODES
[email protected]
SANBORNTON
—
Sanbornton Selectman
Johnny Van Tassel regretfully submitted his
letter of resignation to
fellow board members
John Olmstead and Karen Ober on Aug. 31, citing the fact that his new
job will greatly affect his
level of participation in
the town.
Van Tassel recently
left the Town of Tilton,
where he served as their
Public Works Director
and returned to his former position with the
state’s Department of
Transportation. In his
role as the Pavement
Marking Foreman for
the Bureau of Traffic,
he travels all over the
state, making his ability
to serve much more difficult than a local job.
“They were willing to
work with me, so I gave
it so time. I recently had
to pull crew off the job
early one day so I could
get to a meeting and I
don’t think that’s fair to
them,” said Van Tassel.

REGION — The Shaker Regional School District, serving the towns
of Belmont and Canterbury, has begun the process of a search for their
new
superintendent.
Last year, the Shaker
Board made the decision
to hire an interim superintendent, Michael Tursi, for the 16-17 school
year, and then begin a
complete search this fall.
The selected candidate
from this search will begin on July 1, 2017.
As part of the process,
the Board has created a
search committee made
up of representatives
from
administrators,
teachers, parents, support staff, community
members, and central office staff in order to make
sure all perspectives are
taken into account. In
addition, there will be
four focus groups—one
held at each school--open
to all Belmont and Canterbury residents, in order gain feedback about
what the needs are for
Shaker’s permanent superintendent. The dates
for these are:

Youth Assistance Program
launches new “Why Try” initiative
BY DONNA RHODES
[email protected]
TILTON — The Youth
Assistance
Program,
serving residents of both
Tilton and Northfield, is
introducing a new program to the area, titled
“Why Try,” designed to
better assist children
and teens in their daily
lives as they face life’s
many pressures and
challenges in a rapidly evolving world. The
program comes to YAP
through a grant from the
Franklin Savings Bank
Fund for Community
Advancement.
Dawn Shimberg is
the director of YAP and
said the goal of Why Try
is help youth answer the
question “Why try in
life?” when they are frustrated, confused or angry and perhaps feeling
there is nothing more
they can do.
“The Why Try program teaches youth that
trying hard in life and
putting effort into challenges at home, at school
and with peers is worth
the effort,” she said.
Since its inception,
YAP has worked to help
make a difference in the

Pre-Ballet, for children
ages four and five, is

is $35 for the seven-week
session. Jazz and HipHop is for children ages
five through ten, and
meets from 4 to 4:45 p.m.,
costing $45 for the session. A minimum of five
participants registered
in advance are needed
for each class to run.
Register in advance, online or at the Pines, by
Wednesday, Oct. 5. Online registration is under 2016-2017 Children’s
Programs.
School Vacation
Camps
There are Teachers’
Workshops coming up
on Friday, Oct. 7 and
Thursday, Nov. 10, meaning there is no school
in the Winnisquam District. The Pines offers
Vacation Camp days for
children in Kindergarten through Grade 5 on
those dates. Children
may be dropped off as
early as 7 a.m., and must
be picked up by 5:30 p.m.
The cost is $32 per child
per day. Children need
a bag lunch, snacks and
drinks, outdoor clothing
and appropriate shoes.
We play outside as much

lives of youth who struggle with low self-esteem,
academic failure and
problems at home. These
and other difficult challenges can often leave
them at risk of making
poor choices. As a result
some may not realize
their academic potential,
while others drop out of
school or end up in trouble with the law.
Through YAP, troubled young individuals
can take part in juvenile court diversion programs. They can also
participate in substance
abuse prevention or
early intervention programs along with a number of other educational
and support-oriented opportunities, like the newest Why Try program.
Why Try groups will
begin next month and
are being offered at no
charge to residents of
Tilton and Northfield.
Before the program even
gets underway however,
area youth are encouraged to stop by YAP’s
offices after school on
Monday, Sept. 26, for
their open house. Refreshments and more
information on Why Try
and other programs will
be available at that time.
The Youth Assistance
Program is located at
291 Main St. in downtown Tilton, just a short
walk from both the
Winnisquam Regional
High School and Middle
School.

NORTH COUNTRY NOTEBOOK
PET OF THE WEEK Hoagie arrived at
New Hampshire Humane Society in May.
There really is nothing
about this extremely handsome cat you
could not be totally enamored with. He’s resplendent in his lovely
luminous white coat,
and those spectacular
yellow eyes will pierce
your heart. Look down
at his paws and see he
has that special feline
gene that created extra toes, his paws look
ever so much like oven
mitts!
Hoagie wasn’t in the
best of shape when we
first took him in – but
we’ve fatten him up,

Two harbingers of the seasons: A garden about to become “so
yesterday,” as the kids would say, and a furnace about to chuff. One season ends,
another begins: Time
for the garden to die
By John Harrigan
Columnist
My garden is like a
weekend guest---it arrives all of a sudden,
we get to know each
other again, and then
it’s gone.
I put it in just yesterday, over Memorial
Day weekend, in the
usual manner: corn to
the rear, then beans,
then beets and carrots
and radishes and lettuce, and finally three
round mounds of cucumbers. It all has a
seasonal cadence, near
the end a foxtrot with
frost.
And now most of it
has seen its day, ready
to be pulled, gone to
seed.
I remember riding in
a car with my mother
and her mother, when I
was very small, driving
down the Vermont side
of the Connecticut River, in Lemington, along
the steep and dark and
spooky side of Monadnock, our Monadnock,
not to be confused with
Thoreau’s love story in
Jaffrey, and my grandmother saying that
most of the wildflowers had gone to seed.
I heard it as “Gone to
sea,” and in the wonders of childhood imagined thousands of flowers floating down the
river, floating all the
way to the sea.
No, gone to seed,
as in “Job done, time
to die.” There is my
Black-Seeded Simpson,
for instance, bolting
for the sky, too late to
reach, its leaves long
since too bitter to eat.
My
Grandfather
Carl Harrigan was one
of the best gardeners in
Lisbon, 70 or so miles
and ten days’ growing
season down the valley
from where I live now,
and every spring he
would compete with a
gardener across town,
on the other side of the
Ammonoosuc, for the
first peas. When I was
five or so he bought me
a little kid’s gardening
set, and sectioned off a
little square of his garden nearest the house
for me, and taught me
how to plant it.
And there is was in
the good soil and bright
sun along the road to
Landaff, my own little
garden, and as I spent

n
Open select board seat should
be filled by someone with experience
To the Editor:
Perhaps we should be asking those who have
previously served on the Sanbornton Select Board
if they would consider the possibility of filling
the temporary Selectmen vacancy position until
March! Come March, anyone interested in running
for a full three year term would have an opportunity to get their name on the ballot for that position.
Our town needs someone with the experience
gained from having been a Selectman, as we go into
budget development time and some major road projects on the agenda for this year. Let’s do whats best
for all the residents of Sanbornton!
Call your Selectmen and express your views on
this important decision that they will make next
week.

Central NH begins to feel
effects of widening drought
BY DONNA RHODES
[email protected]
REGION
— Skies
have been sunny for the
greater part of this summer, and while that may
seem very beneficial for
outdoor activities, there
is a down side to that as
well — specifically, dry
wells, low water levels
for fishermen and boaters, and even an impact
on wildlife and forests.
WMUR Meteorologist
Kevin Skarupa said the
southern and central regions of New Hampshire
gradually worked their
way into drought conditions beginning in June
this year, while typically
November is the month
most temporary drought
conditions occur.
“We never saw this
coming in the spring,
but here it is, and it’s
probably only going to
get worse before it gets
better,” Skarupa said.
The key to restoring
the state water table
to normal conditions
would be a tropical
storm. Skarupa, along
with other meteorologists, are keeping a close
eye on storms now developing off the coast of
Africa. That, he said, is
the “breeding ground”
for most tropical storms
and hurricane and they
are hoping one will eventually veer this way.
“The help for us (in
New Hampshire) could
come with a fall weather
pattern brought on by a
tropical storm, although
we don’t want to see any
devastation from such a
storm. Just the rains,” he
said. “There are several
waves of storms coming
off of Africa and we have
a month of that weather
activity left so we’ll just
have to wait and see.”
If nothing heads to the
northeast, however, that
could make for a “tough
November,”
Skarupa
said.
“Without
tropical
storms to shake things
up in the weather pattern this time of year,
the jet stream generally stays the same,” he
noted. “There’s no way
to anticipate right now
what will happen later
in the year until we see if
a tropical system heads
our way.”
New Hampshire generally has an average
of 3.5-inches of rain per
month each autumn.
With a current deficit
of seven to 10 inches of
precipitation since the
calendar year began,
that means it would take
up to five inches of rain
a month, for a couple of
months, to get things
back on track. By November, however, the
ground is typically fro-

conditions that have struck the state.
zen, disallowing rain to
penetrate the ground.
That could potentially mean other woes in
the future if this weather patterns continue,
leaving early autumn
remains dry and storm
free.
Natural
springs
across parts of the state
are experiencing difficulties with higher bacterial counts over this
dry summer and some
have had to be shut down
for cleaning and testing.
That adds to further inconveniences for those
who must now look elsewhere in search of drinking or cooking water for
TILTON POLICE LOG
n
TILTON — The Tilton Police Department
responded to 430 calls for
service during the week
of Aug. 29-Sept. 5. Please
note that the names of
juveniles, and those of
individuals taken into
protective custody but
not formally charged,
have been withheld.
Arrested during this
time period were Matthew Reagan (for Violation of a Restraining
Order), Michael Pis-
their homes.
“I’ve had to rely on
friends who have town
water to fill jugs or take
a shower,” said one resident who wished to go
unnamed. “Other than
that, I’ve been collecting
what little rain water
we’ve had to just flush
my toilet as I’ve waited
for my well to come back
up again.”
Recreation is taking a
bit of a hit, too.
Recent kayakers on
the Pemigewasset River
said there were several
“bone spots” where they
had to port their vessels
and make their way
around rocky outcroppings in he river bed.
Despite the hardships of
low water, they still enjoyed seeing a low-flying
bald eagle, muskrat and
families of merganser
ducks in search of food.
“There were some
tough spots out there for
sure, but we still had a
great day paddling and
enjoying nature,” they
said.
Wildlife is yet another aspect of the drought
taking a big hit. Many
brooks and small ponds
have left fish struggling in pools between
the rocks with no way
to make it up or down
stream. Deer and other
wildlife are left seeking
places to find drinking
water, and dry woods
also means fewer berries
and other food sources,
affecting bear, moose,
fox, deer, coyote, and
even birds which rely on
the wild vegetation.
Because of the lack
of natural food sources
in the wild, people are
reminded to secure garbage, bird feeders and
other attractants to wildlife in order to prevent
unwanted encounters as
animals seek other resources.
While no water bans
have been placed in
central New Hampshire
towns yet, residents are
still cautioned to use
their water resources
wisely in order to maintain a reliable source of
water in their homes..
Skarupa said the last
time New Hampshire
has had a drought of
this magnitude was in
the 1940’s, following the
great hurricane of 1938
when thousands of acres
of trees were toppled by
high winds. During the
decade that followed
those trees rotted and
conditions dried out.
Wildfires then ran rampant across the state,
most frequently in the
eastern sector.
Recent light overnight rains have kept
the fire danger levels to
“Moderate” but a few
hot, dry days can rapidly
make a change in those
conditions.
Residents
and visitors should consult their local fire department’s Web site for
fire danger levels before
considering any permitted brush burns on their
property.

August was the first

Young particularly enjoys drawing and painting rural scenes, especially covered bridges.
He has a book coming

covered bridges in New
Hampshire that includes
interesting information
on over fifty covered
bridges throughout the
state as well as eleven
of his bridge paintings.
Young also conducts art
workshops at the gallery
on a regular basis. He
said he was pleased that
Tibeault, who not only
has some art experience
himself, but also appreciates the artwork and
talent of others, was the
winner of the drawing.
September’s piece for

Discover the secret of “The Red House” on LRPA
Classic film noir is this weekend's “After Dark” feature
LACONIA—Join
Lakes Region Public Access Television at 10:30
p.m. this Friday and Saturday night (Sept. 16 &
17) for our “LRPA After
Dark” presentation of
1947’s psychological film
noir “The Red House,”
starring Edward G. Robinson, Judith Anderson,
Allene Roberts and Lon
McCallister.
“The Red House” introduces us to Pete Morgan (Robinson), a disabled farmer who lives
on an isolated farm with
his sister Ellen (Anderson) and Meg (Roberts),
a teen that they adopted as an infant when
her parents died. Pete
is having trouble keeping up with the farm, so
Meg’s classmate Nath
Storm
(McCallister)
comes as a hired hand
to help with the chores.
Meg is delighted, as she
has a crush on Nath,
even though he has a
girlfriend. The Morgan
farm is surrounded by
Ox Head Woods. Pete
forbids the teens to enter
the woods, and warns
them of an abandoned
building there known
as The Red House. One
night, Nath takes a shortcut through the woods,
where someone knocks
him out cold. As more
strange events unfold,
Nath and Meg become
suspicious of Pete’s obsession with the woods
and the Red House. They
begin to ask questions
and explore on their
own, which fills Pete
with unspeakable rage
– and slowly drives him
mad. Meg and Nath feel
that their lives may be in
danger; what might have
happened at The Red
House to turn Pete into
such a jealous, unstable
person?
“The Red House” has
all the makings of a film
noir classic: great stars
(Robinson and Anderson), along with fantastic performances from
the supporting cast (including a young Rory
Calhoun and a gorgeous
Julie London); a cool
plot with psychological
surprises; creepy music that sets the film’s
tone, etc. So why hasn’t
it become a cinematic
classic? Some reviewers think it’s because
the pacing of the plot is

feel that it’s because the

thought that Robinson’s

LRAA announces September speaker
TILTON — Sara Rines,
owner of U-FrameWeFrame in Laconia, will
be speaking on “Framing
Your Art to Enhance and
Protect” at the Sept. 19
meeting at the LRAA Gallery at Tanger Outlets.
Rines has worked in
the family business of
framing since the age
of 13, taking over as the
owner a year ago. She
will discuss professional
framing techniques and
materials that preserve
and protect art as well
as ready it for shows,
sale, or for hanging at
home. Besides offering
full framing services, her
shop is unique in that
she will sell you framing supplies and serve
as a resource to answer
any questions you might
have about framing your
own work.
“I love when people
ask me questions,” she
said, “because there is a
lot more to framing than
people realize.”
She will show and explain the differences in
glass, mats, and hanging hardware, providing
samples and will explain
how the right frame can
make all the difference.
U-Frame We-Frame is
in their new location at
50 Canal St.
The meeting begins at
7 p.m. at the LRAA Gallery at the Tanger Outlets. The session is free
and open to the public.

Money raised at Get Your Rear in Gear NH helps fund
colon cancer screening room at Healthfirst Family Care
FRANKLIN/LACONIA — The Colon
Cancer Coalition has
awarded
HealthFirst
Family Care Center a
grant to fund a colon
cancer screening program. The money for
this grant comes from
funds that were raised
during the 2015 Get
Your Rear in Gear® –
New Hampshire run/
walk event.
HealthFirst Family
Care Center (HealthFirst) is a Federally-Qualified
Health
Center that covers a
five-county service area
in central New Hampshire, with a popula-
tion of approximately
2,063 people aged 50-75
years. HealthFirst provides primary healthcare services through
an intervention, prevention, and education
model following that
of a Health Home and
Community
Health
Center.
Federal Health Resources and Services
Administration
data
for 2015 indicates that
91.8 percent of HealthFirst patients are at or
below 200 percent of
poverty and their colorectal cancer screening rate is 30 percent.
HealthFirst is actively
working to increase
the screening rate by
offering average risk
patients a postage-paid,

Central NH VNA & Hospice is looking for
volunteers to join interdisciplinary Hospice Team
REGION
— Central New Hampshire
VNA & Hospice will be
holding one hour Information Sessions for
anyone who wishes to
explore the possibility
of volunteering with
our Hospice clients
and their families.
Sessions are being
held at these locations
and dates:
Moultonborough Library – Sept. 19 at 11
a.m.
Laconia Library –
Sept. 21 at 10 a.m.
Gilman Library (Alton) Oct. 5 at 3 p.m.
Tuftonboro Library
– Oct. 6 at 1 p.m.
Being a Hospice Volunteer is a very gratifying experience. We
are looking for individuals who have served
in the military who
as hospice volunteers
may visit with and
provide some companionship for our veteran
clients in our “We Honor Veterans Program.”
Also, we would like
to engage volunteers
who have the ability
to provide Pet Therapy, Reiki, singing with
our newly formed A
cappella group as well
as those who want to
share some time volunteering with patients in
their homes or nursing
facilities during this
very challenging time.
We also have other administrative volunteer
opportunities. Volunteers provide important services to Central
New Hampshire VNA
& Hospice and the people we serve. Whether
it’s providing companionship to a person in
the final months and
weeks of life, offering support to family
members and caregivers, or helping with
community outreach
and fundraising, the
contributions of volunteers are essential
to the important work
provided by our hospice program. In fact,
hospice care in the U.S.
was founded by volunteers and there is continued commitment to
volunteer service.
This is a wonderful
opportunity to be part
of a team that cares
for those with life ending illnesses at a very
meaningful time. The
rewards of this work
are many and it is a
privilege to be allowed
into a person’s life as
they reach this particular chapter. By being
a hospice volunteer,
you can gain great personal satisfaction from
knowing that you have
made an impact in another person’s life and
in your community.
If you would like to
find out more about the
Hospice Volunteer Program, please contact
Randy Macdonald, Volunteer
Coordinator,
at 524-8444 or Martha
Horton, Volunteer Coordinator, at 569-2729.

Seminar to present options for
maximizing Social Security benefits
TILTON — 62, 66 and
70; these are the three
ages most people associate with Social Security, and in nearly every
circumstance would not
provide you with your
maximum lifetime benefit.
From
your
62nd
birthday until your 70th
birthday, there are 96
months that you could
file for Social Security benefits. When you
include options your
spouse would have,
survivor benefits and
advanced filing options, there are more
than 20,000 variations
that a married couple
could file for benefits.
Each option would not
only give you a different monthly benefit, but
would also result in a
different lifetime benefit. But if you just go by
the conventional wisdom of filling at age 62,
66 or 70, you will likely
be missing out.
Join us for a complimentary class that was
created to help you un-
derstand:

team from Nashua.
“We don’t have a ski
team right now, but
I get to ski with the
Nashua team, and it’s a
lot of fun,” she said.
Applebee’s
got
started
with
their
fundraising on Aug. 8
when manager Chris
McNamara said they
started selling “Torches” that display names
of local contributors
or people they wished
to honor with a donation. The restaurant
also sold raffle tickets
for the chance to win
a Tom Brady jersey
to help raise as much
money as they could for
SONH.
General
Manager
Darryn Martin also
gave his all to the night
by climbing into a dunk
booth out in front of the
restaurant where people were able to buy
chances to knock him
into the chilly water.
Later in the evening
Tilton Police Chief
Robert Cormier took
his turn in the booth as
well and all proceeds
were given to SONH.
Chelsea Gill is the
Director of Development for SONH and
said that over the last
four weeks as many as
14 Applebee’s restaurants around the state
were participating in
the campaign for Special Olympics. Highlighting the fundraising was Tip-A-Cop,
where police officers
took over some of the
duties of the wait staff
and drummed up further contributions for
the cause. Fifteen-percent of each dinner was
also donated to SONH.
“We’ve had a partnership with Applebee’s for a long time
now and we couldn’t be
prouder. Our goal here
in Tilton tonight is to
raise $1,500 in ‘tips’ and
we couldn’t make that
happen without Applebee’s, Chief Cormier
and the Tilton Police
Department,” she said.
Another contributor
to the evening’s success was a crew from
the
Tilton-Northfield
Fire & EMS who helped
draw attention to the
event with their ladder truck and flashing
lights along the highway.
Last year New Hampshire’s
Applebee’s
restaurants and the
Tip-A-Cop night generated $64,000 in total
contributions to SONH.
The money raised helps
athletes and their families participate in the
Winter and Summer
Olympic Games. For

Use “Open Enrollment” to Help Improve Your Financial Outlook
It’s Open Enrollment Season,
so if you work for a mediumor large-sized company,
you will need to make some
choices regarding your
employee benefits — and
these choices can have a big
impact on your financial
situation.
Depending
on
your
employer, your benefits
package may include various
types of insurance, plus
access to a 401(k) or similar
retirement plan. Here are
some suggestions for getting
the most out of these benefits:
• Health insurance
–
Companies
regularly
change
plans
and
providers, so the coverage
and premiums you had
last year may not be the
same this year. In any
case, look at all aspects of
your coverage options –
premiums, deductibles,
co-pays and total out-ofpocket limits. A lower
premium
may
seem
attractive, but you could
end up paying even more
if the coverage is not as
good. So, choose wisely.
• Life insurance – You may
want to take whatever life
insurance your employer
offers, but it still might not
be enough. To determine
how much life insurance
you need, consider a
variety of factors – your
age, income, family size,
spouse’s income, and so
on. If your employer’s
coverage is insufficient,
you
may
want
to
supplement it with a
separate policy.
• Disability insurance –
This could be a valuable
employee benefit – but,
as is the case with life
insurance, your employer’s
disability coverage may
not be enough for your
needs, especially if you’d
like to protect yourself
against an illness or
injury that could sideline
you from work for a long
time. Consequently, you
might want to consider
purchasing your own
disability policy.
Apart from reviewing your
insurance options, you may
want to examine your 401(k)
or similar retirement plan.
Of course, your employer
may allow you to change your
401(k) throughout the year,
but you’ve got a particularly
good opportunity to do so
during open enrollment,
when you’re already looking
at all your employee benefits.
So look at your contribution
level. Are you putting in
as much as you can afford?
Your 401(k)’s earnings can
grow tax deferred, and you
typically contribute pretax
dollars, so the more you put
in, the lower your taxable
income for the year. (Taxes
are due upon withdrawal,
and withdrawals made
before age 59½ may be
subject to a 10% IRS penalty.)
At a minimum, invest enough
to earn your employer’s
matching contribution, if
one is offered. And increase
your own contributions
whenever you get a raise.
As far as your investment
choices, you’ll want to spread
your dollars among the
different investments within
your 401(k) in a way that
reflects your risk tolerance
and time horizon. During
the early stages of your
career, when you have many
years to go until you retire,
you can probably afford
to invest more heavily in
growth-oriented accounts.
These will fluctuate more
in value, but you have time
to potentially overcome the
downturns. When you’re
nearing retirement, you may
want to shift some of your
assets into more conservative
vehicles – but even at this
point, you still need some
growth opportunities. After
all, you may spend two or
three decades in retirement,
so you’ll need to draw on as
many resources as possible.
Open enrollment isn’t just
a time to fill out a bunch of
papers. It’s also a chance to
reconsider – and maybe even
upgrade – many areas of
your financial outlook.

So the other day I
went out to the garden
for a cuke, and contemplated the havoc
of what just yesterday
was straight and neat.
It is a disheveled mess,
awaiting the heap that
will begin its transition back to soil. If
you want an example
of something holistic,
contemplate a garden.
But pulling up a garden planted just a mo-

thing for me, any more
than thinking about
when to start dragging

a little more kindling.
It is all about loving

Killed in the attack
were 2,194 civilians
who worked or did business in the trade center.
Along with them, 343
members of the New
York City Fire Department and 71 New York
City Police and Port Authority officers also lost
their lives as they raced
to save as many people
as they could.
“These were indeed
heroic acts of people
who went about doing
their job without thinking of their own safety,
not unlike those in service to the country,”
said Bertholdt as he acknowledged the room
filled with U.S. veterans.
“We must all go on day
by day and remember
those who have passed.”
U.S. Navy veteran

second vice president
Elaine Baker read “We

Alan W. Jankowski.
Bertholdt then followed
with an untitled poem
written by Poet Laure-
ate Andrew Motion for a
service at Westminster
Abbey, honoring British residents who were
killed in the New York
City attack.
Cynthia Woodward
of Sen. Kelly Ayotte’s
office gave the senator’s
regrets for not being
able to attend the observance. Instead she was
in Manchester honoring
first responders lost in
the attacks by climbing
stairs for the equivalent of those that they
climbed in an effort to
working with Karen and
John. I know they’ll pick
someone who will keep
the town moving on a
good path and looking
out for the best inter-
ests of the town and its
employees,” Van Tassel
said.
He will not totally

saying he intends to remain involved in the
community as much as
his new job and time
with his family allows.

the March 2016 town
meeting, leaving the department to now raise
money on their own for
the much-needed building.
“Since 2014, there’s
been a significant increase in vandalism at
the town park without
us having a presence
there. It’s such a remote
location and we really
need to get located back
there and hopefully stop
some of this from happening,” said Lonergan.
Last year, vehicles
drove out onto the playing fields, tore up the
grass and left ruts all
over the property. The
damage was so bad that
the fall soccer season
had to be cancelled while
repairs
were
made.
Since then large rocks
have been strategically
placed along the edge of
the field to prevent similar occurrences in the future but the area is still
vulnerable to destructive activity.
Last week, Lonergan
met with selectmen to
explain the situation and
ask for their assistance.
Chairman
Johnny
Van Tassel said the
board is looking into a
number of new security
options, including the
possibility of placing
cameras in the park that
could help police track
down perpetrators.
“It saddened me to
hear about this,” said
Van Tassel. “The Rec.
Department works so
hard for the kids and the
people of our town, and
for someone to do that is
just awful.”

A touching video
with photos and song,
titled “Sirens,” was
then presented before
the ceremony came to a
close with the playing of
“Taps.”
Executive Councilor
Joe Kenney attended
Sunday’s
observance
and recalled afterward
where he was when the
first plane struck the
World Trade Center.
Kenney said he was
on active duty with the
U.S. Marines at the time,
working on a special
assignment at the U.S.
Marshal’s office in Boston. A television was
nearby and he was able
to hear the initial report
of a plane flying into the
North Tower.
“I looked at my supervisor and told him it
was a terrorist attack,”
he said.
While many believed
it was just a horrific accident, Kenney said he
was certain it had to be
more.
“It was a beautiful, clear day. A plane
wouldn’t be hitting the
tower in weather like
that. I knew it had to
have been a deliberative
attack,” said Kenney.
Sept. 11, 2001, he said,
was a horrific day and
so many people have a
connection to it, knowing people in one way
or another who were involved or aboard one of
the fated airlines.
“It’s important that
we remember them and
all that happened that
day, and maintain our
vigilance so something
like it never happens
again,” said Kenney.

Offense can't break through as
Raiders edged by Campbell, 1-0
BY JEFF LAJOIE
[email protected]
BELMONT – The
schedule makers didn't
do any favors to the Belmont High School girls'
soccer team during the
early portion of the regular season. The Red Raiders drew two perennial
Final Four contenders in
the opening three games
of the slate, and despite
playing tight contests, a
1-0 loss to Campbell High
School on Friday afternoon dropped Belmont
to 1-2 overall entering
this week's action.
“We're improving but
it's moving a little slowly,” said first-year head
coach Cevat Vural. “The
biggest thing is that every girl has a huge heart
and the attitude has been
excellent.”
The lone goal came
with just 4:07 left in the
first half on Friday, as
Campbell's Sara Keane
popped a shot over the
head of Belmont senior
goalkeeper Mariah Watson that put the Cougars
up 1-0.
“(Belmont) had the
ball in our zone for probably 60 or 70 percent of
the time but we defended well and were able to
get out on the counterattack, which led to a nice
goal for us,” Campbell
head coach Gary Karibian said. “We aren't going
to win games 6-0, so our
strategy is to take advantage of our opportunities
and attack when we can.
We really play a team
game where everyone is
involved in our success.”
Belmont had several nice chances against

with the best opportunity in the first half coming
on a shot by sophomore
Kaitlyn Delisle that necessitated a diving save
by Campbell goalkeeper
Mackenzie Wagner.
The Raiders dominated possession in the
second half, though the
scoring chances didn't
quite come to fruition
in the final third of the
field. Seniors Hannah
Shirley and Kelsey Scott
made key plays and distributed to teammates
in the midfield, though
Wagner was rarely tested by point blank opportunities in preserving
the shutout.
Watson made several
nice sliding stops in the
second half to keep Belmont within striking distance, while the defensive work of sophomore
Makenzie Donovan was
also strong in closing

Campbell forwards.
“We are seeing what
mistakes we're making
and what we need to do
better right now,” said
Vural. “But I will say,
our positioning has been
better and we're doing a
good job switching the
field and understanding
what we should be doing
with the ball.”
Senior Jasmine Syed
had a solid game on the
outside for the Raiders,
as did Emma Chase and
Katie Gagnon. Chloe Sottak helped settle things
in the midfield along
with Scott and Shirley.
“The girls did get
tired on a hot day like
this and we don't have a
lot of depth so that made
for some problems,” Vural explained.
Both of Belmont's defeats entering this week
came by one-goal margins, with the 1-0 defeat
coming after a 2-1 overtime loss against Hopkinton to start the year.

Raiders get off to fast start,
ultimately fall to Mascenic
BY JEFF LAJOIE
[email protected]
BELMONT – It wasn't
a win, but the Belmont
High School volleyball
team seemed to put the
train back on the tracks
Friday night.
After a difficult week,
the Red Raiders rebounded with a stellar
opening set against visiting Mascenic. But after
falling into a quick hole,
the Vikings came back
with victories in each of
the final three frames to
earn a 19-25, 25-17, 25-14,
25-21 win in Division III
action at BHS.
“We're trying to rebuild some things but
there are really only positive things I see with the
group moving forward,”
said Belmont head coach
Colleen Brownlee.
The Raiders (1-2 entering this week) opened
play with a convincing
25-19 victory in game
one, as all signs pointed to a big night. With
senior Shannon Davies
(10 kills) leading the way
offensively,
Belmont
jumped out early and
had Mascenic on the
ropes from the get go.
That changed in the
second stanza however,
as the Vikings turned a
12-12 score into a 22-14
advantage thanks to a
10-2 run that took advantage of some Red Raider
wildness on the defensive end.
Mascenic would even
the score thanks to a 2519 win, and the Vikings
also snatched control
of the third set after a
back and forth opening
portion that saw kills
from Davies and junior
Jordyn Lavallee. The
visitors dominated the
late part of game three,
closing out the set on a
12-4 run to grab a 25-14
victory.
The Raiders indeed
had their backs against
the wall in the fourth,
and Mascenic appeared
to have things well within hand up 15-5. The
advantage was 24-15,
setting up match point,

Brownlee of a 3-0 sweep
at the hands of the Bears.
“We're getting back on

[email protected]
FRANKLIN – It was
a big bounce back week
for the Winnisquam
Regional High School
field hockey team. After
dropping their first two
games of 2016, the Bears
rebounded with a pair of
wins last week and entered this week's slate of
games with a 2-2 record.
The week closed with
a 3-1 win on the road at
rival Franklin, as goals
from Makenzie Snow,
Cailey Clogston and
Lilli Keegan enabled
the Bears to pick up the
victory. Keegan and
Meghan Cote (two) added
assists in the win, while
goalkeeper Riley Toupin
recorded six saves in the
Winnisquam net.
The victory came on
the heels of the team's
first win of the season at
home against Laconia,
as Winnisquam broke
through with a 3-0 win in
Tilton.
Keegan and Molly
Tinker scored first half
goals to put the Bears up
2-0 at the break, and Cote
found the back of the net
in the final minute of
regulation to put things
away, 3-0.
Cote, Ema Atherton
and Emily Decormier
had assists for Winnisquam, which plays White
Mountains and Monadnock on the schedule this
week.

ASA gives players
that love softball the
opportunity to play
longer in the summer
and at a higher caliber of play on a travel

and patched umpires.
This truly is the next
level of play.
The Dragons organization believes at U10
and U12 girls shouldn’t
have to choose between
playing Babe Ruth or
ASA. They want them
on the field as much as
possible to foster competitive future high
school teams. Therefore these teams will
have tournaments after the closing of the
Babe
Ruth
season.
They will have practices, however they
will be working closely
with Babe Ruth coaches so schedules don’t
conflict with practices.

Belmont senior Logan Wilder eyes the ball on the foot of Derryfield's Trent Henrich during the
first half of the host Raiders' 2-0 loss in Division III play on Friday. The defeat was the first of
the year for Belmont, which fell to 4-1 entering this week's action.

Newcomer Derryfield hands Raiders first loss of 2016
BY JEFF LAJOIE
[email protected]
BELMONT – One of
the great unknowns in
the NHIAA Division III
soccer landscape this fall
is how will newcomer
Derryfield School shape
the conversation and
postseason discussion?
The four-time defending state champion in
Division IV was bumped
up to D-III this season,
bringing with it a pedigree of success and dom-
inance, albeit against
smaller schools and programs. Belmont High
School got its first crack
at the Cougars on Friday
afternoon, and the hype
appears to be warranted.
Visiting
Derryfield
got a pair of goals from
Jeff Pratt – one in each
half – and withstood
some solid Belmont
scoring chances to earn
a 2-0 victory over the
host Red Raiders. The
loss was the first of 2016
for Belmont, which fell
to 4-1 on the year while
Derryfield improved to
an identical 4-1 overall.
The Cougars lone loss
came via a 1-0 defeat to
Campbell.
“You tip your cap to
Derryfield,” explained
Belmont head coach
Mike Foley. “They applied pressure throughout the field all game.
They let us know they
were here.”
After allowing just
one goal against in its
first four games, Belmont surrounded its second of the year midway
through the first half. In
a scoreless game, Pratt
snuck a shot past senior
goalkeeper Jonny Leclair with 16:50 remaining to put Derryfield up
1-0.
Leclair would make
some fine saves to keep
it a one-goal deficit the
rest of the half. His diving stab with 4:12 left
turned away a solid Cougar chance, and Derryfield settled for the 1-0
advantage at intermission.
“We came to play today but we just didn't
keep the pace that we
normally want to play
with and that hurt us,”
offered Foley.
Perhaps
Belmont's
best scoring chance
came with 30:28 to play
in the second half. Sophomore Colby Brown
John Stark thumps Eagles in home opener, 42-0
BY JEFF LAJOIE
[email protected]
GILFORD – After a
solid road performance
in Week 1, the Gilford-Belmont
football
team certainly had its
work cut out for it on
Saturday in the home
opener. Facing a John
Stark team that many
expect to be amongst the
top squads in Division II
this fall, the Golden Eagles were overmatched
in a 42-0 thumping at the
Meadows.
“(John Stark is) a program that is playing at a
high level right now and
we're working hard to become a program like that
in the future,” said G-B
head coach Josh Marzahl, whose team fell to
0-2 on the young season
after a season-opening
loss to Kennett. “(Stark)
hasn't always been a top
flight program, but the
last few years they've
been very solid.”
The visiting Generals
(2-0), which beat Souhegan in the opener before
coming to town on Saturday, scored on all five
of their offensive possessions in the first half, and
added a sixth score on an
interception return for a
touchdown to lead 42-0 at
intermission. That triggered running time in
the second half, and the
teams matched zeroes
for the final 24 minutes
of play.
“(Against Kennett), I
thought our execution
was a lot better than it
was (on Saturday),” said
Marzahl. “We didn't execute the way we need to

two touchdowns and ran offense was unable to
for two more. The 6-foot- match the Stark attack,
5 signal caller was 7-of- as the Eagles were held
10 through the air for 95 to just 11 yards of offense
in the opening half. It
was 21-0 after one quarter before Stark put up
21 more points in the
second period to take the
42-0 halftime advantage.
G-B did have two
drives move into Stark
territory on the day,
though the Eagles did
not take a trip into the
red zone. The best drive
came in the third quarter, when quarterback
Braedon Lacroix guided
his team from their own
18 yard line to the Stark
32. Lacroix connected
with Dom Troiano on
back-to-back
completions of 23 and 13 yards
during the march, and
Lacroix added a 12-yard
carry of his own while
Dylan Gansert scampered for nine yards two
plays later. But two sacks
stalled things and moved
the ball all the way back
towards midfield, forcing a punt.
Lacroix was under
fire all day from the
Stark defense, and he
finished the afternoon
4-of-13 for 59 yards and
an interception through
the air. Troiano caught
two passes while Gansert and Tanner Woods
also hauled in single
receptions. Joe Bonnell
was a bright spot on the
ground for the Eagles, as
he totaled four carries
for 24 yards.
The regular season
continues for the Eagles on Friday night
(Sept. 16), as Gilford-Belmont travels to Bow
High School, which also
moved up from D-III this
fall, for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
played a nice through
ball to senior Logan
Wilder, who fired a
cracker on frame. The
ball was tipped over the
crossbar by Derryfield
keeper Connor Diehl
however, giving the
Raiders a corner kick
but keeping the Cougars
in the lead.
With the Raiders
pushing for the equalizer and establishing some
territorial dominance,
Derryfield caught them
against the run of play
for an insurance goal
that put the game out of
reach. With 12:15 to play,
Pratt took a lead pass
from teammate Oliver
Simon and got in alone,
flicking a right-footed
ball into the corner of
the net to put the Cougars on top, 2-0.
Despite some offensive chances from Wilder, Zach Ennis and Doug
Price, Belmont was unable to get on the board.
The Raiders were held
scoreless for the first
time since a quarterfinal
loss to Campbell last fall.
“We knew we'd get
battle-tested with the
schedule that we have,”
said Foley. “You need
games like this. We'll
be a better team for it.
We've not played 80 full
minutes yet in a game so
we need to keep improving and make that the
goal going forward.”
