Bickford bullish on farming life

Diamond B bull wins honors at Fryeburg Fair

BY CATHY ALLYN

Contributing Writer

NEW DURHAM — Distinctively marked cattle dotting the sum-mer hillsides and in roll-ing pastures is a com-mon sight on the road between Alton and New Durham. As they graze lazily away, most of us don’t give a thought to the time, energy, and ed-ucation behind them.

First of all, that stripe around the girth that re-minds us of a sandwich cookie, is referred to as a belt. The breed is Belt-ed Galloway, originally from Scotland, affection-ately referred to as Bel-ties.

The cattle belong to the oldest continuously operated farm in New Durham, the Diamond B, which has been in the Bickford family for more than 250 years.

Ask Meghan Bick-ford, who runs the place, how she wound up doing what she’s doing, and she says, “I went crazy for the breed.”

Ask her mother Robin Bickford the same ques-tion and she says, “It’s a 4-H project gone amok.”

When Meghan was very young, the family moved to Walpole. “The kids were upset that we’d moved,” Robin ex-plains, “and our real estate agent was the 4-H leader.” The agent sug-gested Nick and Meghan could make friends by joining the 4-H club.

“We didn’t have ex-perience with animals,” Robin says. “When I was in 4-H it was cooking and dolls.”

Patriarch Robert was teaching at the time at a school that had a mini-farm, and he learned about pigs. “I fell in love with pigs,” Robin says. “The kids went to the lo-cal dairy every weekend to learn how to care for a calf and how to show cattle.”

Things snowballed. “Nick wanted his own animal, so we brought a dairy cow to our house.” The family soon learned they did not want to get

involved in milking, “so Nick decided to do beef cattle.”

Things snowballed again. The two acres of land the Bickfords owned soon sported a small barn. And Meghan got involved.

“I owe my interest to my brother,” she says. “I saw what he was getting to do.”

The Bickfords started growing their herd. Nick had Angus and Bob had Hereford, but Meghan fell in love with the Belt-ed Galloway “and went crazy with it. I loved them because they are smaller in general and easier to handle.”

The breed is also practical for grass-fed farming; perfect for the Bickfords’ backyard and eventually the Diamond B Farm.

“They’re naturally lean and do extremely well on grass, which is what I do,” Meghan ex-plains.

She began showing at eight, and when she was nine, she became the first recipient of a heifer given away by the New England Belted Galloway Group’s Heifer Project. “I won her in an essay contest,” Meghan says. She wrote on why she wanted a Belted Galloway, and promptly named her new acquisi-tion Oreo.

Robin drove her chil-dren to several fairs a year and “made sure they had everything they needed there.” Sports also figured in both kids’ lives, so the ensuing years were busy.

The Diamond B beck-oned the summer be-fore Meghan’s senior year, and once in New Durham, the family add-ed chickens to their sta-ble.

While Meghan was in college, Bob handled the chores. In 2010, armed with an Associate’s in animal science and a Bachelor’s in agricultur-al business, she returned home.

It’s harder than it looks.

“I don’t think any-body can really prepare you for running your own business,” Meghan says, “especially a farm.” But she’s learning some-thing new every day and swears she is “absolute-ly loving it.”

She states there is no typical day for her, oth-er than feeding in the morning and the after-noon. “Everything in be-tween is whatever needs to be done that day.”

Renovating buildings is an ongoing project. Cleaning and upkeep is a

Meet new town administrator tonight in New Durham

BY MARK FOYNES

Contributing Writer

NEW DURHAM — Residents, taxpayers and town officials in New Durham are invited tonight, Thursday, Jan. 14, to attend a public re-ception to welcome new Town Administrator Scott Kinmond. He will be on hand to greet the public between 6:30 and 8 p.m. The event will take place at the Community Room in the town fire station.

The board of select-men announced Kin-mond’s appointment on Dec. 21. The Jan. 14 re-ception will cap off his third day as the town’s top administrative offi-

cial.According to a press

release, Kinmond was most recently the elected Public Works Director/Highway Agent for the town of Moultonbor-ough, a position he’s held since 2009. He was also the town’s top cop and later its administra-tive liaison - an interim position he held contem-poraneously while Moul-tonborough searched for a permanent replace-ment for a TA.

Kimmond’s recruit-ment reinforces a Moultonborough-New Durham connection. Outgoing Interim TA Carter Terenzini is that town's one-time TA; he

was also an integral part of the process of recruit-ing a permanent replace-ment.

Kimmond’s public works background plays into a potential strategy that could reorganize the highway department and transfer station into an integrated public works department. His law enforcement creden-tials might also be called upon as the town grap-ples with a possible re-imagining of the police department.

According to the press release, Kinmond rose from patrol officer to become Moultonbor-ough’s Chief of Police, a position he held for 11

years. His commitment to

public safety is cross-de-partmental. In addition to his law enforcement service, Kimmond’s 29-year career in Moulton-borough included serv-ing as fire captain. He was also elected commis-sioner for the Ossipee Corner Fire Precinct, a position he held for 12 years.

Kinmond was select-ed from among some three-dozen applicants ranging from as far as Texas.

“My fellow Board members and I were unanimous in our se-lection and most excit-

Proposed school district budget up 1.86 percentBY ELISSA PAQUETTE

Granite State News

WOLFEBORO — Governor Wentworth Regional School Dis-trict Finance Commit-tee Chairman Jack Widmer offered a fi-nal review of the draft school budget for 2016-17 on Monday night, Jan. 4, in the King-swood High School lec-ture hall.

The board gave its full support, adopted the 2016-17 warrant, and hopes that the

public will attend the Deliberative Session on Saturday, Jan. 30, at 10 a.m. at the King-swood Arts Center to voice any questions or concerns before voting day on March 8.

The budget shows a modest increase of 1.86 percent, which brings the budget for fiscal year July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 to $49,934,107.

Not every request was met, said Widmer, noting that the budget

is 3.41 percent less as a result.

The budget goals are to continue to protect the district's assets and capitalize on the dis-trict wide energy con-servation measures; expand the robotics and STEM program; improve math resource material; continue the investigation of world language implementa-tion; and continue to develop experiential learning and commu-nity connections.

Enrollment figures went up in 2015 over 2014 to 2,446 from 2,371, including the addition of tuition students from Middleton at-tending the middle and high schools.

Three warrant arti-cles will be presented to voters. They include: employee agreements for increases of 1.5 percent each year for two years; $150,000 for Building and Main-tenance (a reduction of $50,000 – not a bad sum to protect assets of over $50 million com-mented Widmer); and the Turf Field Replace-ment Capital Reserve, which is funded from the undesignated fund balance.

New positions to meet minimum state requirements repre-sent a 1.34 percent in-crease.

Widmer said that revenues changed less than one percent, and the default budget this coming year will be slightly lower than the new budget for the first time in several years.

The estimated 2016-17 school tax rates (local and state/local combined) increased from the 2015-16 school year as follows: Brook-field, $11.68 to $11.74; Effingham, $12.16 to $13.22; New Durham, $13.89 to $14.61; Os-sipee, $10.56 to $11.83; Tuftonboro, $5.79 to $6.09; and Wolfeboro,

$7.04 to $7.68.The last date for pe-

titioned warrant arti-cles to be submitted is Jan. 12.

Widmer thanked Business Administra-tor Mary Patry and Superintendent Kathy Cuddy-Egbert for their work on the budget. Finance committee members also include Bridget Edwards, Dr. Jim Manning and Sta-cy Trites.

The filing dates for school district offi-cers run from Jan. 20 through Jan. 29.

Details on the bud-get and the warrant are available on the GWRSD web site, www.govwentworth.k12.nh.us.

Look out Loudon, we have Alton Central Speedway

Alton Central’s Scoopn

BY CRIS BLACKSTONE

Alton Central School Principal

Seventh grade stu-dents working with, Mr. R. MacDuff during their tech ed classes, are com-pleting the competition phase of their CO2 cars. This is an annual event for the seventh graders and something they look forward to year-to-year, hoping to beat the speed/weight ratio of previous year’s winning cars.

All students start with the same piece of wood, with the same slot for the CO2 cartridge to be inserted. From that piece of wood to the finished, painted product on race day, students work on initial design ideas moving on to accurate drawings of how their car will be carved and painted. These phases mimic the design-build concepts in many man-ufacturing jobs that will

be available to them as they move in to the work-force. New Hampshire educators and business-es alike are grappling with ways to encourage more students to consid-er careers in manufac-turing; Mr. MacDuff’s unit plans incorporate additional skills that are constantly being men-tioned as valuable in the work place: imagination while following rules and constraints, ability to execute ideas and co-operation with others in the group (of students or of fellow employees.)

The students spend two and a half weeks on the entire project – in-cluding gathering data on the weight of the wood before the design process and reviewing possible factors in design affecting speed. Painting the car is like the icing on the cake.

Three seventh grade cohorts take part in the CO2 car race events, as the culminating activi-ty of the whole process. This is an annual event, with designs showing various solutions over the years.

Sunday, Jan. 17, our school cafeteria is taken over by the area Scouts, who will hold their an-nual Pinewood Derby event. This is an import-ant event for the Scouts, who are held to purpose, learning objectives and have required materials to use in their cars’ con-struction, too. Learning objectives for the Scouts’ event include: knowing the origins and purposes of the Pinewood Derby, planning a Derby (sound like real world connec-tions that our teachers are implementing, too?); organizing the compo-nents of a Pinewood Derby, and finally, con-ducting the Derby. Pine-wood Derbys started in 1953 and are a staple of the sportsmanship and good citizenship em-bodied in Scouting pro-grams and seen in our Destination Imagina-tion Teams, First Lego League Teams, as well our Math League team members experience, to name several. Personal achievement, and fam-ily understanding are also objectives of the Pinewood Derby – so our ACS students and com-munity families who are involved in Scouts or our Enrichment Clubs, see these interests and val-ues from several angles, reinforced.

What are we looking forward to with these “race cars” being sym-bolic? A race to increase student achievement, student involvement and community interest in what we get to see here every day working with the students of ACS. Ask your seventh grader or your Scout friends how they built the car they did, what their favor-ite aspect was (design? Painting? Racing?) and in asking those questions, you may be fostering the interest in lifelong learn-ing or an actual STEM career. Remember, New Hampshire needs qual-ified members of the fu-ture of manufacturing to help keep the state pros-perous.

Paul makes his pitch to Salmon PressBY EDITH TUCKER

Coos County Democrat

MEREDITH — “I’m the only fiscal conserva-tive in the race; both par-ties are at fault for the size of the national debt: the right wants more mil-itary spending; the left, more welfare,” replied Republican presidential candidate Senator Rand Paul when asked why someone should vote for his nomination on Pri-mary Day, Tuesday, Feb. 9.

Asked his take on the takeover of buildings by armed protesters at the Malheur National Wild-life Refuge in eastern Oregon, Paul said that he has long argued that much of the federal lands should be given back to the states, but that he does not support the use of violent means to make that happen.

“I believe in the elec-toral system; I’m an elected official,” Paul said emphatically.

After explaining some of the reasons that the federal government re-tained so much land, the senator said that if he were elected president he would work to effect change in federal land policy, allowing states to acquire some of these lands. “Local control is better,” Paul said, not-ing, however, that there is an honest debate tak-ing place about how best to respond to natural processes, such as wild-fires.

Although at the time of the interview Pres-ident Barack Obama had not announced his planned executive ac-tions to reduce gun vio-lence, Paul was willing to discuss his overarching reaction to the then-ad-vance word.

First, he said, he fa-vors enforcing the laws already on the books.

The Constitution specifies that the na-tion’s laws should be en-acted by Congress and not written by the Exec-utive Branch.

Last month, Paul said, he had introduced a bill in the Senate — the Separation of Powers Restoration and Second Amendment Protec-tion Act — designed to cancel out and forbid funding any of Presi-dent Obama’s executive orders on gun control if they would undermine the powers and duties reserved for Congress under the Constitution.

The executive branch has overreached with a number of its initiatives, Paul said, including the Clean Power Plan, immi-gration policy and gun control.

“We live in a repre-sentative democracy,” he reminded. But, Paul explained, “Congress boxed themselves in last month with a majority agreeing to give spend-ing authority for a year,”

by approving a $1.1 tril-lion package to fund fed-eral agencies, that has served to weaken its own powers and increase that of the executive branch.

Paul is opposed to the U.S. government’s bulk collection of personal data from phone re-cords, pointing out that it violates the intent of the Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their per-sons, houses, papers, and effects, against unrea-sonable searches and sei-zures, shall not be violat-ed, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and par-ticularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

During the Aug. 6, 2015, Republican de-bate, Paul said, “I want to collect more records from terrorists, but less records from innocent Americans. The Fourth Amendment was what we fought the Revolution over. John Adams said it was the spark that led to our war for indepen-dence, and I’m proud of standing for the Bill of Rights….”

“We do need to pro-tect ourselves by secur-ing our borders,” he ex-plained. “We do need to have less areas in which there are people who are defenseless, where there is nobody there to stop violence.”

In discussing the trag-edy of school shootings, he pointed out that these crimes have typically involved white teenage boys suffering from men-tal illness, making it key to identify the mentally ill and to have treatment available.

Furthermore, Paul said, he favors using signs warning people that there are armed se-curity guards present,

including having armed personnel in 100 per-cent of the cockpits in commercial airplanes. Targeted investiga-tion and surveillance – triggered by probable cause — would be far more effective. “Paris has surveillance that is a thousand times more invasive, but it did not prevent the horrific November shootings,” he pointed out.

“We need to reform all the visa programs and to have the gump-tion to enforce the im-migration laws that we already have,” he said, pointing out that in 1986 some three mil-lion then-illegal im-migrants were given a path to citizenship in exchange for the prom-ise that the nation’s borders would be made secure. This approach, Paul said, would also allow an adequate number of workers to fill now-vacant job slots in a number of industries, including software development.

He also supports cutting corporate busi-ness taxes, which at 35 percent are now the highest in the world, not only choking back the growing interest in developing advanced on-shore manufactur-ing but also encourag-ing companies, such as Burger King and Pfiz-er, to move out of the U.S.

Paul said that cap-italism is designed to raise the average person’s standard of living. Acknowledg-ing that the language is now very dated, he quoted economist Jo-seph Schumpeter, who wrote back in the 1940s that the first Queen Elizabeth had owned silk stockings. The economist pointed out, however, “The capital-

ist achievement does not typically consist in providing more silk stockings for queens but in bringing them

within the reach of factory girls in return for steadily decreasing amounts of effort … The capitalist process,

not by coincidence but by virtue of its mech-anism, progressively raises the standard of life of the masses.”

Barnstead hockey player enjoying life in Berlin

BY JODY HOULE

Berlin Reporter

BERLIN — The FHL Berlin River Drivers have made quite a name for themselves since the professional hockey team formed last year and began playing home games at the Notre Dame Arena. An interview revealed that one of the River Drivers is from Barnstead.

Andre Niec, 34, was raised in the Czech Re-public in Ostrava and became a citizen of Vi-enna, Austria. He has played hockey for 25 years since he was nine, with 14 years as a pro-fessional. Countries he has played in include the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, France, En-gland, Latvia, Russia and America. He has been a part of five cham-pionships in his career. He was named captain of the River Drivers and also serves as a coach, a player and a “friend” he said. On the ice he has made three goals, 16 as-sists and has six penalty minutes under his belt. He plays as a center and defenseman on the team.

“It’s a gypsy life – grab some clothes, pack up and just go,” he said.

When asked how his experience in the North Country has been, he said that “everything is different.

“I have mostly lived in big cities,” he added. “People here are friend-ly and support us.”

He said that the weather up here is not as bad as Russia, where he lived for a while.

The whole team is split up to live in three separate living quarters in Berlin. Niec bunks with 13 other players in a house.

“We are like a fami-ly,” said Niec. “Every-one knows their role. We share all the duties. We cook for each other, clean and do the dishes. We help each other out and stick together.”

On their off-time, Niec said that the play-ers try to spend a lot of time with the kids to be role models.

Other things he likes to do on his free time are reading books, working out, visit coffee shops, and play a number of other sports including golf.

As far as his goals for the team, he said he wants “everybody to get better – not only as a

hockey player, but as a person.”

“Of course, we want to win a championship,” he concluded.

One of the players who lives with Niec has made quite a name for himself. Nick (the Stick) Wright, 22, has become a fan favorite on and off the ice. On the ice, he is known as “the pro-tector,” the “enforcer” and “the entertainer,” he said with a chuckle. With 12 fights and 115 penalty minutes, he is a brute force. Off the ice he is a gentle giant who interacts with the kids.

“We want to keep kids in hockey and out of trouble,” he said. “There is a good youth program here in the tradition of the Maroons. I want to help kids develop in life – that is more important than my life.”

Besides helping kids, he said his main goal is to “win a championship first and foremost.” He said he also intends to better himself and take his body “to the highest level.”

Wright is from New Boston, Mich., which is a hockey town like

Wanted: A few good people

While it hardly seems possible, the start of a new calendar year means that the local election season is coming up quicker than we could’ve imagined.

The filing period for anyone looking to run for local town and school positions be-gins on Wednesday and will continue until the following Friday, Jan. 29.

Anyone who is interested in filing for an open position in any of our three towns, should visit Town Hall and talk to the town clerk about getting his or her name on the ballot.

We can’t stress the importance of local politics and the role that these local posi-tions play in the grand scheme of things.

Much is made of the upcoming presiden-tial election, with millions upon millions of dollars being spent by numerous can-didates as they do their best to convince voters that they are the best choice (or in some cases, convince voters that the oth-er candidates are not good people). And of course, the presidency is an important position and deserves our country’s atten-tion.

However, when it comes to your local communities, the person sitting in the White House does not have a ton of impact, while the people meeting in the local Town Hall a few times a month have a very large impact on how things run in your commu-nity.

Local politics drive the community and it’s important that people who care about the community are elected to fill positions. Of course, we can’t imagine anyone sign-ing up to run for office if they don’t care about the community.

We urge all local residents to check out the positions that are up for grabs in their community (check Town Hall or the town web site or see next week’s paper) and see if there’s something that fits their inter-ests and area of expertise. And we ask that you step up and make a difference in your community.

We always stress the importance of local elections and this year will be no different. We don’t like to see a bunch of empty spots on the ballot, with nobody stepping up to run for a position. We also aren’t huge fans of having a bunch of uncontested races on the ballot in March. We believe that it’s im-portant to give voters a choice when they go into the polls instead of just one name for each position. Voters should get the chance to learn about candidates and be able to make a choice instead of just being forced to vote for one person on the ballot.

And when there are actual races on the ballots, we notice that more people turn out to vote.

The presidential elections tend to draw large numbers of voters to the polls and that’s a good thing, but we hope that we can have some races on the local ballots this March that will help to boost turnout across out local communities.

After all, these elections have the most impact of any election on your tax rate and your community. If you have the time, think about signing up to run for a posi-tion and help your community.

Halfmoon Lake free of milfoilTo the Editor:

In the Jan. 7 Baysider article, “Barnstead milfoil battle continues” by Ed Neister, incorrectly stated milfoil was present in Halfmoon Lake. The author, chairman of the Barnstead Milfoil Committee, as-serted, “a small number of plants continue to grow in spite of DES divers routinely visiting and hand re-moving existing plants.” This is not the reality.

Halfmoon Lake is a 280-acre body of water shared between Alton and Barnstead with an active weed watcher program monitoring for invasive species. I can report the lake’s weed watchers have not found milfoil plants since 2009 when divers from the De-partment of Environmental Services successfully removed several milfoil plants. During the 2015 sea-son, our weed watchers found some floating pieces of milfoil. The origin of the milfoil fragments, wheth-

er from a visiting boat or from a plant, remains un-known.

The state’s Limnologist/Exotic Species Coordi-nator, Amy Smagula confirmed our good fortunes when she recently wrote that Halfmoon is “free of milfoil for the last few years.” Smagula added local residents do a good job of weed watching and report-ing what they find as suspicious.

We are grateful to our volunteer weed watchers, particularly to Deb Fedorchak, Linda Bramante and Barbara Hatch, for their vigilance keeping Halfmoon Lake clean of this invasive milfoil weed.

Clarification from Alton Highway DepartmentTo the Editor:

This letter is in regards to the article “Selectmen get good news about Mount Major,” Dec. 31, 2015 (page 8).

There seems to be some facts that are not correct in this article and I would like to clear this up.

When in fact there are two major pieces of heavy equipment: A - 1999 loader with 17,932 hours and, B - 1998 grader with 13,375 hours. These two machines are failing and need major repairs.

A lease purchase quote has been looked into and will be on the warrant article for the voters this Spring.

The total cost after five years is $440,000. This is about $88,000 per year; the lease also comes with a five-year warranty on all major components.

It has been looked into that after the five years an-other purchase agreement for the next five years the cost would be approximately 50 percent less, $44,000 a year with the same five-year warranty coverage.

This strategy looks like the best plan for the fu-ture in our heavy equipment and to reduce major maintenance cost.

Thank you for your time.Ken Roberts

Alton Highway Agent

HIRING FOR 2016 season at both restaurants for all positions:

Front of the House & Back of the House

~Equal Opportunity Employer~

Berlin, he said. He has played hockey since he was three. One of the teams he has played on includes the El Paso Rhi-nos, Junior A, in Texas.

Wright said Berlin has the “same small town feel” as New Bos-ton. Snow is a “hit or miss” there, he noted.

“There is mostly farm-land there and it is super flat,” he said. “It’s nice to see the mountains and a lot more beautiful than just seeing corn fields.”

On his off time he en-joys hunting, fishing and off-roading.

He also likes to check out the community and visit the local shops and restaurants.

Another teammate who lives in the same house as Niec and Wright is Stephen Gallo, 25, who is a New Hampshire na-tive from Barnstead.

“It didn’t take any getting used to up here,” Gallo remarked. “It’s funny watching the new guys battling the cold. I’m used to the environ-ment.”

Gallo plays as defense-man. He has four goals, nine assists and 25 penal-ty points.

“I am second on the team in penalty points,” he chuckled as he men-tioned Wright’s 115 pen-alty point comparison.

Gallo has played hock-ey for 20 years. From 2009 to 2011, he played on the junior league in Hud-son, with the Northern Cyclones, and from 2011 to 2015 with the USM

HOCKEY(continued from Page A3)

Huskies of the Universi-ty of Southern Maine in Portland.

“Hockey takes up the majority of my time year round,” he said.

He goes to the broom-ball games every Sunday at the arena and hangs with the Zamboni guys, he said.

At the house during off-time, he said that he and the guys enjoy video games, playing cards and dice, and working out.

“We are keeping a low profile and staying out of trouble,” he mentioned.

“Obviously, I would like a win championship with the team. Besides that, I’ve always want-ed to travel the world. The best chance of doing that is through hockey. I would like to leave North America and see what else the world has to offer

— experience a few things,” he concluded.

Huggins named one of the best and brightest companies to work for

WOLFEBORO — Huggins Hospital has been named one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the country by the National Associa-tion for Business Re-sources.

“We are thrilled our employees find Hug-gins Hospital to be a great place to work,” said Laura Stauss, VP of Human Resources at Huggins Hospital. “We have great teams in all areas of the organiza-tion and we care deeply about helping each oth-er as we care for our pa-tients and community. We call ourselves the Huggins Family and we mean it, creating deep connections that help us reach beyond the limits of the technical aspects of healthcare.”

Huggins Hospital ranked far above the median score in their region for the catego-ries of Community Ini-tiatives as well as Com-munication and Shared Vision. The Communi-ty Initiatives category included the extent to which the organization is committed to im-proving the local com-munity while provid-ing encouragement and time for employees to participate in a mean-ingful way.

“I am always im-pressed by the outpour-ing of support from our employees when asked to participate in community events and initiatives,” said Monika O’Clair, Senior Director of Communi-cation and Community Relations at Huggins

Hospital. “Our employ-ees are truly dedicated to partnering with the community and Hug-gins actively encourag-es those connections.”

Huggins Hospital employees are part of public health initia-tives, such as the cur-rent drug crisis and other health education priorities, as well as lo-cal community groups and boards. Employ-ees also participate in many community engagement events, educating the crowd at the Wolfeboro Inde-pendence Day parade about how to “stay cool” during the hot months and organizing an ugly sweater contest for the town’s Christ-mas parade. Huggins Hospital supports local groups such as Meals on Wheels, End 68 Hours of Hunger and Starting Point by vol-unteering and provid-ing food and space at the hospital.

In addition, Huggins employees support the fundraising initiatives of Huggins Hospital that also improve the health of the commu-nity, including the Adult Day Program, Diabetes Services and Community Care – the hospital’s financial as-sistance program for patients in need.

“Philanthropy is the catalyst that can make our community the healthiest in the state and in the country,” said Jeff McGuinness, VP of Advancement at Huggins Hospital. “It’s always exciting when people – especially Hug-gins employees – share that vision because

“We are open with our employees and encourage a free flow of information across all areas of the orga-nization,” said Hug-gins Hospital’s In-terim President and CEO Jeremy Roberge. “This openness cre-ates a strong culture of caring amongst our employees that shows through to our patient care. While we have this amazing award of the Best and the Bright-est, we will continue to put effort into finding ways to improve our employee satisfaction as we move forward. Our Huggins Family is a priority and we rec-ognize our employees as the essential piece of our success.”

The 2015 winning companies were as-sessed by an indepen-dent research firm, which reviewed a num-ber of key measures rel-ative to other national-ly recognized winners. The measures included Compensation, Ben-efits and Employee Solutions; Employee Enrichment, Engage-ment and Retention; Employee Education and Development; Re-cruitment, Selection and Orientation; Em-ployee Achievement and Recognition; Com-munication and Shared Vision; Diversity and Inclusion; Work-Life Balance; Community Initiatives and Strate-gic Company Perfor-mance.

The companies that have been selected to be recognized national-ly as a Best and Bright-est Company to Work For® will be featured in a January edition of Corp! Magazine. Hug-gins Hospital will also receive additional rec-ognition as a national winner at an upcom-ing Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® awards sympo-sium and gala.

For more informa-tion about becoming part of the Huggins Family, please contact the hospital’s Human Resources Department at 569-7649 or find more information in the ca-reer section online at www.hugginshospital.org.

their passion, exper-tise and talent are what make that happen ev-ery day. To receive ad-ditional support from donors both inside and outside the hospital is equally encouraging and inspiring.”

When being named one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For®, Huggins Hospital also ranked far above the medi-an score for Commu-nication and Shared Vision. This category included the level of ef-fective exchange of in-formation from senior leaders to employees and the extent to which employees are given a platform to communi-cate opinions, ideas, is-sues and concerns.

LACONIA — Sweet, slinky, and oh so hand-some, the affable and charming Radar awaits a loving forever home.

He was found in Plymouth, a stray sur-viving the cold snap at the time, by his person-al survival skills. Such life uncertainty must have been quite the stressor for him, likely Radar was someone’s pet when a kitten but inexplicably ended up on the streets anyway.

He is sweet as can be and easy fit for any family looking to add for four-legged crea-ture to their home. Playful, cuddly, out-going, he is ready to start the next phase of

his life, loved and cos-setted in a cozy warm environment with hu-mans who will care for him always.

New Hampshire Hu-mane Society has ex-panded service hours, open on Saturday and Sundays to ensure pro-spective adopters have the opportunity to visit and pick out their next pet.

One thousand cats, dogs puppies, kittens, rabbits and one bird, a parakeet, were rehom-ed in 2015. They hope to start the year of right and find a loving forev-er home for Radar.

ed about being able to attract someone with Scott’s breadth of expe-rience as our next town administrator, ” said BOS chairman David Bickford.

Kinmond, in a press release, echoed Bick-ford’s enthusiasm, “[M[y service as my town’s "administrative liaison" gave me an in-sight into and desire to experience the broad-er range of municipal management.”

“I have a passion for local government as it is closest to the people it serves,” Kinmond continued. “I believe this position will pro-vide a great opportuni-ty for me to assist the wonderful communi-ty of New Durham to build consensus and work towards a com-mon vision.

“I look forward to working with the board of selectmen, elected officials, department heads and the New Durham residents,” wrote Kinmond.

The new TA inherits a municipal govern-ment in flux. Multiple department heads have resigned or been fired in recent months. A pair of lawsuits have been filed relating to the ousting of the for-mer police chief.

Coping with this churn has been Teren-zini’s job. The BOS speaks well of his ef-forts, and his collab-orative approach in working with town staffers.

“I have enjoyed working with Carter,”

said Bickford. Terenzini, with

some 30 years of mu-nicipal experience, was recruited to help bridge the use of Mu-nicipal Resources Inc. contractors to a TA the town hired itself.

“I find for the most part we are on the same wavelength, which makes it enjoy-able to springboard off each others’ thoughts and ideas,” Bickford commented via e-mail. “He knows how to pri-oritize. He is very prag-matic and he listens.”

Bickford, who prides himself as a cost saver, offered the outgoing interim administrator high praise. “[Carter] did an excellent job recommending reduc-tions in the budget by over $100,000 and ex-plaining the need for a change in culture in order to accomplish that.”

Bickford added, “It was music to my ears.”

Looking forward, Bickford’s hope is that the new TA’s creden-tials will help the town navigate some key

departmental transi-tions.

“Scott Kinmond's ability and leadership experience especially as a police chief and highway agent should help enhance these de-partments,” Bickford said.

RSVPs are not nec-essary for this eve-ning’s event. Attend-ees may also wish to swing by the library at 7:30 p.m. for the budget hearing. Doors at both events are wide open and the town welcomes all comers.

constant, too.“If an animal is sick or

injured, that can throw an entire day off track,” Meghan says.

She averages 30 head of cattle throughout the year, on leased pasture during the summer, but all back home in the win-ter, as well as 49 laying hens and pigs.

Among that many an-imals, some stand out. Meghan watched a bull be born two days after her wedding, the fourth generation from the first heifer she bought.

The little guy had some “trouble in the be-ginning,” so Meghan was very hands on with him.

“He had so much per-sonality and was just a puppy dog,” she ex-claims. “I knew he’d be special.”

She knows her stuff. Diamond B Anthony DiNozzo, named for a television character and referred to as Tony, claimed Reserve Senior Champion Bull at the Fryeburg Fair this past year.

After Meghan aged out of 4-H, she had stopped showing ani-mals. This was her first foray back after seven years, and she chose the top fair in the country for Belted Galloways.

“It’s a big deal to get any kind of champion ribbon from that show,” she explains. “He’s a one of a kind bull and I’m be-yond proud of him.”

Meghan sold half in-terest in Tony, so he’s now living in Maine on one of the original farms that imported the breed. “It’s awesome that I’m at the point where these kinds of farms want my animals.”

Tony will return to Di-amond B during the next breeding season. “He’s my buddy,” she says. “He waits by the barn door for his grain. You don’t find many bulls like him.”

Farm life is its own path. “It’s physically and

emotionally exhaust-ing,” Robin says. “You just never know what’s going to happen.”

She explains that it is sometimes hard to do the best by the animals. “You have to make deci-sions about their lives every day.”

Unexpected vet bills can cause financial strain and bad weather can wreck a hay crop. Dealing with large an-imals can have a more direct effect, too.

“When am I not in-jured?” Meghan asks. As a child, one of her brother’s show animals tossed her in a stall and she wound up with a cracked rib. Working a farm, she is “bruised, cut, and sprained all of the time.”

But there are also plenty of laughs along the way. Robin recounts their first litter of pig-lets. “The mom tried to eat them so we had to bring all 12 of them into the house.”

The babies grew up in Meghan’s circus mo-tif toy box and had to be fed several times during the day and night. Rob-in describes the time as “wild.”

Soon the piglets were big enough to leap from the toy box. “They’d run down to my bedroom door to wake me up. It was funny to open the door and see them all sitting there waiting for their food.”

A unique aspect of Di-

amond B is that Meghan lives in Barrington, not on site. “It’s not easy living away,” she says. “On me or my parents, who deal with the mis-haps that happen when I’m gone.”

She’s gotten several phone calls from her fa-ther telling her “the cows are on their way down to the General Store.” The family has trained the herd to come to a buck-et of grain when they shake it. “That works,” Meghan says. “They run back for it.”

Sleep often goes by the wayside, too. Meghan rose at 5 a.m. to feed or-phaned twin calves.

Throughout it all, she has had plenty of sup-port to get her where she is today. “There are a lot of people who deserve thanks,” she says. “Many people have helped me through the years, including my par-ents and my wife Keri Neal.”

Meghan is now in the position to give back. Re-member the heifer proj-ect that awarded her her first Belted Galloway? Well, she’s chairperson of that now.

“I run the whole thing,” she says. “I help a young man in Strafford who won a heifer a few years ago and a young lady who works for us

in the summer. I love being able to return my knowledge to kids who are falling in love with the breed, as well.”

Farming is not for everyone; but it’s work-ing out well for Meghan. Robin says of it, “A little venture to help the kids socialize became a life-style.”

Meghan’s take on it? “I have no idea what I’d be doing, if not this.”

Walker earns LEAP certificationWOLFEBORO — Pa-

tricia Walker, a Regis-tered Dietitian and cer-tified diabetes educator and owner of Carroll County Diabetes, Nutri-tion and Wellness Cen-ter, LLC, in Wolfeboro, has recently passed the examination to become a Certified LEAP Ther-apist.

The LEAP Program (Lifestyle, Eating and Performance) is a stra-tegic method of dealing with the dietary com-ponents of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), migraines, fibromyal-gia, joint and muscle pain, fatigue, vomiting, chronic sinusitis and other symptoms caused by delayed food sensi-tivities.

IBS, migraine and fibromyalgia affect

60,000,000 Americans. Roughly two-third of them are women. Un-fortunately, conven-tional treatments (in-cluding pharmaceutical therapies) are very of-ten unsuccessful. Diet is typically the area that gets the least amount of attention but in most cases is the key for the patient to find relief.

Food sensitivities are much more com-mon than food aller-gies, says David Good-man, MD, Allergy and Asthma Consultants of the Rockies in Wheat Ridge, Colo. In a true food allergy, the im-mune system produces antibodies and hista-mine in response to the specific food, accord-ing to the National Li-brary of Medicine. The

subsequent symptoms include itching, wheez-ing, cramping, swell-ing and anaphylactic shock, which can occur within minutes and result in death. Food sensitivities produce delayed reactions, from a few hours to several days, and commonly af-fect the gastrointestinal tract, experts say.

Walker looks for-ward to helping more clients with these health problems and encourages you to con-tact her for an introduc-tory session to assess whether this program is appropriate for your health concerns.

For more informa-tion, you may contact Walker at 520-3176 or e-mail at [email protected].

Barbara Isabelle IngoldsbyTraveled the world

Obituariesn

ALTON — Barbara Isabelle (Hudson) In-goldsby, age 94, of Al-ton Bay, died on Jan. 7, surrounded by her family.

Born in Salem Mass. on Aug. 4, 1921, she was the daughter of Florence Isabelle (Wil-liams) and Everett Mor-timer Hudson.

Barbara attended Salem High School, raised a family of four and was a successful business owner of Betts Secretarial Services in Danvers Mass. Barbara was named Woman of the Year by the Busi-ness and Women’s Club of Salem in 1973. Bar-bara was also the first woman to be a member of the board of directors for Essex County Bank.

Barbara sold Betts and retired to her week-end and summer home in Alton and became a very active member of the Community Church of Alton and held the treasurer’s position for

many years. In recent years she was still able to attend Sunday ser-vices thanks to the lov-ing help from Mary Lou Brown. Mary Lou was a blessing to Barbara and to her family. Barbara was also a member of the Christian Women’s Fellowship. Barbara and her dear friend Dot Folsom traveled the world together from Morocco, to Russia, and everywhere else they could think of explor-ing. They traveled by air, sea and even trains while gallivanting all over the globe.

Barbara is survived

by two sons, Mark E. Ingoldsby and wife Car-ol of Cape Coral, Fla. and Karl J. Ingoldsby and wife Judy of Alton Bay; six grandchildren, Scott Ingoldsby, Mark Ingoldsby Jr., Tracy In-goldsby, Drew Ingolds-by, Hudson Ingoldsby and Jordan Ingoldsby, and one great grand-child, Evan Ingoldsby.

Unfortunately she was predeceased by her husband, James In-goldsby and two sons, James Ingoldsby and Richard Ingoldsby.

There are no call-ing hours, family and friends were welcome to a funeral service on Tuesday, Jan. 12, at the Community Church of Alton on Church Street in Alton, with Rev. Sam Hollo and Rev.

Lately, I have heard of barrage of rhetoric that I believe is supposed to get the masses riled up against “Wall Street” and corporate America. Wall Street and corpo-rate America have been demonized in the past so it is really not a new concept. This is not a criticism of the political left or right because I have heard this rhetoric from both, so I assume it is to gain favor with the shrinking middle class in our country.

Wall Street was formed as a place or ex-change where compa-nies formed by people like us were able to sell shares or ownership (eq-uity) in their company to investment companies, pension funds or indi-viduals. The benefits to the seller were creating a means of raising cap-ital to expand and hire more employees, re-search and development of a new life-saving drug or maybe mass produce a vehicle so that it was affordable to most Amer-

icans. The benefit to the buyer of this equity, was that for a small sum of money, they too could own a piece of a compa-ny, idea or concept that they would have never been able to be involved with if not for what is now the New York Stock Exchange. The Dutch traded coffee back in the 1600s in a similar fashion to the commodity pits in Chicago and New York of recent times, these exchanges are not a new idea created by Goldman Sachs.

The “Wall Street” that is being held up as evil to-day is the banking side of Wall Street. In the 1990s President Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act into law that permit-ted the partial repeal of the Glass-Steagall act that separated com-mercial and investment banking, among other things. This GLB act led, in part, to the formation of the housing bubble over the next decade, which burst in 2008. Government, banks, you and I, the consumer all contributed to the hous-ing meltdown. However it is real easy to blame Wall Street and the big banks, because they are perceived as greedy, cold and heartless.

There are good and

bad in every profession, business, and govern-ment, but before we hang Wall Street out to dry we should imagine this country without it. Ev-ery developed country has an exchange that at-tempts to be as efficient as the exchanges that we have in this country. Our US corporations pay one of the highest tax rates in the world while our government imposes more and more regulation. The Chinese economy is slowing and their stock markets are very volatile. Nobody can do capitalism like the USA. We are the best innovators and market-ers in the world with the best economy regardless of the road blocks being thrown in front of us by our own government. Everyone benefits from a strong economy. If we can bring some good manufacturing back from overseas and incen-tivize companies to not send jobs and capital off shore to the extent that we do now, it will pay big dividends.

NORTH COUNTRY NOTEBOOK

By JOHN HARRIGAN

From the depths of a book to the depths of despairIt was the heaviest

book I’d ever received in the mail, and in fact one of the biggest books I’d ever hefted. The only book that comes close is the huge old dictionary in the News and Senti-nel’s newsroom in Cole-brook, which after all contains the entire En-glish language.

This mysterious thing in the big box turned out to be, weighing in at 10 pounds or so, Ken Schultz’s Fishing Ency-clopedia, published by IDG Books Worldwide. “Hey Pop, thought this would be handy to carry around in your pocket while you’re fishing for brook trout,” said the note from my son Mike, who is in the book pub-lishing business.

I leafed through the book to peruse entries on everything from spinning tackle to sea anchors, and then went straight to the heart of the matter, which was looking up the species of fish that have helped shape my life, and since I’ve turned out to have a warped personality this is a warped list of fish, if not a list of warped fish. Imagine, a fish on a psy-chiatrist’s couch.

+++

When I first ventured at age six or so into the swamp behind the house, I was after brook trout. This was because Postmaster Ray Hicks had once taken me up to his farm pond to catch what to a small boy looked like Moby Dick-sized trout, and I’d subse-quently caught a few in Beaver Brook, below the Ted Hughes farm. To me back then, brook trout were the king of fish, and they still are.

The Schultz book in-forms me that our East-ern brook trout are not really trout but charr. Various real and col-loquial names include speckled trout, spotted trout, aurora trout (nev-er heard that one), brook-ies, and squaretails. Okay so far, but I was taught that a squaretail was a sort of sub-species, and tended to inhabit bigger lakes and rivers.

In the Labrador they call brook trout speckles, and once, in a pool below the dam at the Meni-hek Rapids, I caught, within a space of about 30 minutes, four brook trout that weighed four and a half pounds, four pounds, and two at three pounds. Not having a stringer along, I pulled a rawhide lace out of one of my high-top Bean Boots.

Sometime during my budding fishing career, in the early 1950s, suck-ers moved into Beaver Brook, perhaps because the millpond dam fell into disrepair. There are 75 species of this fish to choose from, and my guess is that we have the white sucker so common in the East, although the northern redhorse is a strong contender.

Suckers are bottom feeders but will move to the top for a good insect hatch. The Coashaukees (hence “Coös”) and oth-er offshoot tribes of the Abenaki ate them in the spring, when they and other so-called “soft fish” were free of worms. They also, the story goes, used them as fertilizer, one sucker per each hill of corn. This always made me wonder why the no-

torious large packs of free-running dogs that were a big part of any In-dian encampment didn’t immediately dig up the fish for a snack. The an-swer I finally found, after voluminous reading on Indian life and lore, was that one chore assigned to small children was to shoo dogs and other ani-mals away from commu-nal gardens. At night, ap-parently, the dogs were content with sleeping in the lodges.

As I became bolder in my fishing forays I got down near the brook’s confluence with the riv-ers, and encountered a pale fish with a dark stripe along its side, which turned out to be a blacknosed dace, also called a minnow, shiner or chub. These are con-sidered trash fish that compete with trout for food, and ardent fly cast-ers hate to find them in a good trout pond. But they make great bait for ice fishing.

When I was let loose on the landscape with a bike, which basically happened the moment I got one, all holds were barred and I was head-ed for the rivers, first to the Mohawk, a trib-utary to the Connecti-cut that flows from the Dixville Notch region through Colebrook. The river supposedly got its name from a surprise at-tack by the Adirondack Mohawks, famed for surprise raids on snow-shoes, against an unwit-ting bunch of Coashau-kees sleeping away in a long-used camping spot just to the southeast of Battle Bridge on Route 126, but that is a story lost to the ages. (Why, in the same question I’ve al-ways asked about the in-famous Rogers’ Rangers attack on the sleeping St. Francis village in 1759, didn’t the dogs alert the inhabitants?)

The bigger the stream the bigger the fish, neighborhood lore went,

and occasionally a fish in the Mohawk would take a kid for a sleigh-ride, so I was happily plumb-ing the depths of the Mohawk one day when I hooked onto what I thought was a trout and pulled forth a squirm-ing, scaly, spiny, puffed up monster that almost made me run home. Af-ter somehow getting it off the hook, I think by smashing it with a rock, I indeed ran home, to look it up.

It was a sculpin, which I guess you would call the wolf spider or jumping spider of Fish-dom. It lurks behind rocks and sunken logs and the like, and accord-ing to the book spends its time happily “cling-ing to the bottom and pouncing.” Some of the 300-plus species in this delightful family of fish exist up to a mile deep in the ocean, and look it.

This brings me to the final fish that played a part in the formation of my delicate little psy-che, which came along while I was otherwise happily engaged in catching fat brookies in the pools below the Bea-ver Brook dam. Fishing from the top of the dam’s remaining crib-work, I felt what felt like a pret-ty big fish and hauled it forth to find a three-foot snake on the line, writh-ing away furiously in order, I was sure, to get me.

I dropped the pole in a hot second and beat-feet it for home, yelling something as I sped past Homer and Babe Hughes, who were out tending garden and hanging laundry. Ho-mer was still out there when I mustered the courage to creep back

See the magical world of Mary Poppins this weekend at Village Players

WOLFEBORO — A new year brings a new slate of movies to the Vil-lage Players Theater and the opening film of 2016 will take viewers back to the 1960s with the classic story of a magical nanny.

Mary Poppins is a musical fantasy film, produced by Walt Dis-ney and loosely based on the book by P.L. Tra-vers. The film combines live-action and anima-tion.

The movie opened to universal acclaim in 1964 and received a total of 13 Academy Award nomi-nations, including a Best Picture nomination. That number remains a record unsurpassed for any film released by Walt Disney Studios. The film won five Acade-my Awards.

Julie Andrews stars as the Academy Award-winning titular character, as she visits a dysfunctional family in London and brings her unique brand of lifestyle to the family dynamic.

Mary Poppins magical-ly appears as the Banks family is looking for a nanny to look after their two children, Jane and Michael. Dick Van Dyke stars as Bert, Mary’s best friend on seemingly a cohort on her many ad-ventures throughout the years. David Tomlinson stars as George Banks, who hires Mary Poppins as the nanny for his two children. Glynis Johns also stars as Winifred Banks, George’s easi-ly-distracted wife and mother to their two chil-

dren.With plenty of famil-

iar musical numbers and a story for all ages, Mary Poppins will provide good entertainment on a chilly winter weekend.

Mary Poppins will screen on Saturday, Jan. 16, at 8 p.m. and Sun-day, Jan. 17, at 2 p.m. at the Village Players The-ater, located on Glen-don Street in Wolfeboro. Tickets remain priced at one low price and re-freshments are available for sale as well.

for my pole and found him holding it. “Eel,” he said.

Later on I learned much more about eels than any sensible per-son would want to know. My eel, no doubt a female because the males are much smaller and linger offshore or in the lower reaches of riv-ers, had hatched in the Sargasso Sea and then

headed for the headwa-ters as an elver. These last tiny young eels are a delicacy in the Far East, and are being heavily fished to the point of en-dangerment.

These experienc-es, augmented by once having a wolf fish snaf-fle onto my foot on the deck of a stern-dragger trawler on the high seas, have instilled in me a high rate of curi-osity, if not downright anxiety, about just what I might haul forth from the depths. Any

spiny, puffed-up, wide-mouthed, slim-bodied fish tops the list. And eels, of course. But odd-ly enough, it all has left me with no fear what-soever of snakes.

Library launching wellness program on Jan. 27NEW DURHAM —

Stressed and not sure how to go about relieving it? Can’t keep probiotics and prebiotics straight? Having trouble brew-ing your kombucha tea? Don’t know what kombu-cha tea is?

Then the New Durham Public Library has just the thing for you.

“We’ve seen an uptick in patrons asking for books on mindfulness and meditation just re-cently,” said Library Di-rector Cathy Allyn, “and we hear a lot of conversa-tions about fermenting drinks and using spices for healing.”

The signs indicated it was time to establish a

wellness group. “Every-one is interested in it,” Allyn said. “We all want some control over our bodies and well-being.

The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to start.”

“Oh, Well!” is en-visioned as a themed

discussion group with periodic guest speakers on pertinent topics. Men-tal clarity and physical well-being will be at the forefront.

The title puts a spin on the accepting phrase of “Oh well, what are you going to do?” and places action into our own hands. “Turn that resigned attitude into a positive statement of what we can be,” Allyn said. “Take charge of your health, your atti-tudes, and your behav-ior.”

The first meeting is slated for Wednesday, Jan. 27, at 7 p.m. Herb-alist Jennah Granwick will present “Taking

Back Control of Your Health,” with a focus on gut health, digestion and understanding the differ-ent biotics that play such an important role in a person’s immune sys-tems and overall health.

Granwick is a ninth generation herbalist, who learned at the knee of her great aunt start-ing from the age of five. “I studied the old ways,” she said.

With a background in anthropology, Granwick applies what she learned in that area to nutrition, another collegiate sub-ject of hers, to come up with the best suggestions for each individual.

The evening promises to be casual, but informa-tive. “I’m sure there will be plenty of questions,” Granwick said. “Every-one can pick my brain.”

She is excited about bringing other topics to the table, such as natural skin care, making salves, and setting up medicinal herb gardens.

Future meetings will center on mindfulness, adult coloring and other forms of stress reduc-

tion. “Adult coloring is

popular for a reason,” Allyn pointed out. “We have beautiful materi-als to work with that we purchased especially for this.”

A separate area of books on a wide range of germane topics will be available to participants. The group can decide what subjects it wants to explore from acid reflux to Zen philosophy.

If you have knowledge and experience to share, are a novice trying to be-come healthier, a parent wondering if you should give your kids raw milk, or just trying to avoid catching the flu, “Oh, Well!” is the group for you.

“Well, well, well,” Allyn said. “We can be healthy physically, men-tally, and emotionally. There are lots of avenues out there to achieve it and Oh, Well! can set us on those pathways.”

All activities at the li-brary are free of charge. Call 859-2201 for more in-formation.

Prospect boys forceovertime, but fall to CougarsBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

LITCHFIELD — The Prospect Mountain hoop boys returned to regular season action on Friday, Jan. 8, traveling to Litch-field to take on Camp-bell.

The Timber Wolves came charging back from a double-digit defi-cit to force overtime, but the Cougars were able to pull out a 56-54 win.

“The guys put in great effort in regulation to overcome a 12-point defi-cit,” coach Michael Joy noted. “They continued what had already been a tremendous defensive performance into the overtime, but came up just shy.”

The Timber Wolves got off to a slow start in their first game of 2016, as Campbell took a 12-3 lead after one quarter of play. While the visitors

were able to get their of-fense moving better in the second quarter, they still trailed Campbell by a 28-18 score at the half-time break.

The Timber Wolves and Cougars battled evenly in the third quar-ter, with Prospect cut-ting the lead to just eight after three quarters.

Then, the defense took over in the fourth quar-ter, as Prospect held the hosts to just two points in the final frame and

scored 10 of their own to make it 52-52 at the end of regulation.

Campbell outscored the Timber Wolves 4-2 in the extra frame to claim the 56-54 win.

Zachary Bennett had a big day for the Tim-ber Wolves, draining 21 points and pulling down 10 rebounds. Hudson Ingoldsby also reached double figures, putting in 10 points.

“I was very proud of their mental toughness

and perseverance in the contest,” Joy noted.

The Timber Wolves will be in action on Friday, Jan. 15, play-ing host to Berlin in a 6:30 p.m. game and will be on the road at Belmont for a 6 p.m. game on Tuesday, Jan. 19.

Knight boys and girls take second placeBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

DURHAM — It was a solid Sunday’s work for the Kingswood track team at the University of New Hampshire.

Both the boys and girls ran, jumped and threw their way to sec-ond place overall on the day, both teams behind Coe-Brown.

On the boys’ side of things, the Knights had a strong showing in the sprints, as Tucker Goss-elin ran to the win in the preliminaries in 6.8 sec-onds and then took the win in the same time. Denver Bourgault was fifth in the preliminar-ies in 7.2 seconds and finished second in the fi-nals in 7.1 seconds. Nick Baston was eighth in 7.2 seconds and Cam Mann was 17th in 7.5 seconds.

Hunter Miller quali-fied to move on in the 600 meters, running to the top spot with a time of 1:28.1, with Cam Stinch-field running to 10th in 1:35.8, Sheldon Billings taking 12th in 1:38.5, Ben Factor in 19th in 1:44.4 and Josh Haines in 28th in 1:55.5.

Isaac Sheahan ran to a second place finish in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 9.2 sec-onds.

Gosselin grabbed a point in the 300 meters, running to a sixth place finish in a time of 41.5 seconds, with Mann tak-ing 13th place in 43.3 sec-

Owen Gwizdala ran his way to fourth place in the 1,500 meters, cross-ing in 4:38.7.

In the long jump, Mill-er finished in fifth place overall with a distance of 17 feet, 1.25 inches, with Billings taking eighth place at 15 feet, 10.75 inches and Baston fin-ishing in 14th place at 14 feet, 10.75 inches.

Jacob Dearborn took sixth place overall in the shot put with a toss of 35 feet, 3.5 inches, Mann finished eighth at 32 feet, 10.5 inches and Rian Rus-so placed 11th at 30 feet, 3.75 inches.

Kingswood got points in both relay events. In the 4X160-meter race, the team of Baston, Bourgault, Mann and Gosselin ran to second place in 1:22.3 and in the 4X400-meter race, the team of Miller, Stinch-field, Billings and Sheah-an was second in 3:56.7.

In the 1,000 meters, Brent Coope was 13th overall in 3:15.9, Russo was 18th in 3:24.5, Adam Richardson finished 23rd in 3:30.5, Devin Holt was 25th in 3:32.6 and Jack Zarse was 27th in 3:38.2.

For the Knight girls,

Leavitt finishing in 20th place in 2:37.2. Peternel ran to 12th in the 1,000 meters in 3:49.1.

Overall, Kingswood finished with 39 points for second place, with Coe-Brown winning and Winnisquam in third.

“We had a few more kids provisionally quali-fy (for qualifiers), so the numbers went up to be able to compete at the next meet,” Harvey said, noting the team chose to come to UNH instead of going to Dartmouth on Saturday so that more kids could qualify. “That’s a big positive.”

Miller has qualified in the 600, 1,000 and 3,000 meters already and Har-vey noted more athletes bumped up their qualify-ing times.

“We had a lot of real positive things today,” Harvey said.

Kingswood will be in action again on Jan. 23, at UNH.

Timber Wolves rally, but come up short

BY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

ALTON — The Pros-pect Mountain girls’ hoop team got its of-fense going again in the return to regular season action on Jan. 8.

However, the Camp-bell Cougars were strong on the boards and took advantage of that to take a 58-51 win over the Timber Wolves.

“Campbell killed us inside,” said Pros-pect coach Rick Bur-ley. “There were way too many offensive re-bounds that they got on us and got second, third and fourth chanc-es.”

The Timber Wolves were happy to welcome back guard Brianna Burley, who missed the holiday tournament with an injury and she helped to jump start the offense with her

ability to get the ball up the floor.

“That makes a huge difference getting the ball up the court,” Bur-ley said. “But we still weren’t full strength.”

Alyssa Spiewak, who had been turning in strong work inside, suffered an injury in practice prior to the Friday night game and missed the action.

“We still have to play the game and we still have to box out and we didn’t,” Burley said.

The Timber Wolves trailed by 14 points in the first half and by a total of 10 points after one quarter. However the Timber Wolves ral-lied in a big way and tied the game at 29 at the halftime break.

“It was great that the girls kept work-ing hard and clawed their way back into the

game,” Burley said. Prospect trailed by

two points after three quarters and the game was back and fourth in the third and fourth frames. However, with about four minutes to go, the Cougars were able to get a couple of second opportunities in a row and open the lead up a bit.

“It was disappoint-ing because we defi-nitely could’ve won that game,” Burley said. “They played hard and didn’t quit.”

The Timber Wolf coach noted his team got back at it on Sun-day afternoon with a good practice in antic-ipation of playing at Somersworth on Mon-day.

“If we execute, we’re going to play with them,” Burley said. “We have a tough schedule, there’s no

way around it.”He noted it was im-

portant for the girls to know that they can play with the teams they take on every night, no matter how good they are.

“Getting the girls to believe in themselves and they can play with anybody,” Burley said. “It’s coming, it’s al-most there.”

Emma Hardie led the way for the Timber Wolves with 17 points, while Ali Brown add-ed 10 and Burley put in nine on three three-pointers.

The Timber Wolves will be at Berlin on Friday, Jan. 15, at 6:30 p.m. and will host Bel-mont on Tuesday, Jan. 19, at 6 p.m.

A unified atmosphere at KingswoodUnified basketball team makes its debut with win over SomersworthBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — Af-ter one game, it’s safe to say that unified basket-ball at Kingswood is a success.

The unified pro-gram began statewide a few years ago and Kingswood joined the burgeoning number of teams fielding teams this season. Unified sports takes students with dis-abilities and pairs them with students without disabilities on the court. Traditionally there are three athletes and two partners on the court at the same time.

And while the game story would eventually end in a win over Somer-sworth on Wednesday, Jan. 6, there was much more to the story than just basketball.

“That’s what it’s all about,” coach Grady Charland said of the fun that pervaded the Kingswood gym. “Every-body’s smiling.”

Charland quickly praised the efforts of ev-eryone who helped to make the unified team a reality.

“It took the efforts of the superintendent,

the administration, and many teachers and spe-cial education teachers,” Charland said.

But the Knight coach was also quick to point out the other group of people who helped to make the first season a success out of the gate, those being the partners who work with the ath-letes every practice and game.

“The partners need to be commended,” Char-land said. “The connec-tion was there from the first day.

“The partners came in and made connections with the athletes right away,” Charland added.

Assistant coach Linda Runnals, who also works in special education, agreed completely with Charland’s assessment of the partners.

“We couldn’t have trained them like this,” Runnals said. “I was blown out of the water by how great they were.

“We just step back and let them take it,” she continued.

The list of volunteer partners for the program is so long that only about half of them can suit up for each game.

Runnals noted that the practices and games are just a part of the program and she sees the impact that the uni-fied program has in the school.

“Now they have these partners, kids in the hallways acknowledg-ing them and high-fiv-

ing them,” Runnals said of the athletes. “And at the end of practice, they can’t stop talking when they leave.

“When they’re in gym class, it’s not really at their pace,” Runnals con-tinued. “This gives them a chance to play at their pace.”

With an enthusiastic and supportive crowd packing the high school gym, the athletes took the floor against the Somersworth Hilltop-pers in the first game of the season.

Out of the gate, Tyler Perkins got Kingswood on the board with the

first basket in program history. After Somer-sworth got a hoop to tie the game, Maria Correa put back her own re-bound and gave King-swood the lead again. The ‘Toppers got the ty-ing hoop again but two hoops from Jay Kolb

closed out the quarter, giving Kingswood an 8-4 lead after one quarter of play.

The second quarter saw each team putting in a pair of baskets, with Christa Hebert putting in the first hoop for the Knights, followed by a hoop from the visitors. Kolb then added another hoop and the ‘Toppers finished the scoring for a 12-8 score for Kingswood at the half.

Perkins came out and hit the first hoop of the second half, but Somer-sworth followed with two

hoops in a row to cut the lead to 14-12. Kolb came back with a hoop for the Knights but the ‘Toppers again cut the lead to two with a basket. However, Kolb hit back-to-back hoops to close out the third quarter and King-swood had a 20-14 lead.

The Knights had the only basket of the fourth quarter, with Perkins hitting for two for a 22-14 score after 32 minutes.

With a little time left, the two teams agreed to play four more min-utes and Perkins hit two buckets in the extra frame to give Kingswood a 26-14 lead before Somer-sworth got the final hoop

of the game to put the fi-nal at 26-16.

Both Runnals and Garland praised the fans who showed up and sup-ported the athletes on both teams throughout the game.

Kolb finished with 12 points for the Knights and Perkins added 10 in the win.

Kingswood will be back in action on Wednesday, Jan. 20, at Gilford at 4 p.m.

Late flurry not enoughto lift Knight boys by Bearcats

BY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — A big flurry of pressure in the final few minutes wasn’t enough to rally the Kingswood hockey boys past Somersworth-Coe-Brown on Saturday night at the Pop Whalen Arena.

“It was our inabili-ty to keep puck on our sticks,” coach Mike Po-tenza said of his team’s downfall. “We lost so many opportunities be-cause they couldn’t han-dle the puck.”

The first period wasn’t the best effort that the Knights could put forward, but Potenza noted that his team was stronger as the game went on.

“In the second and third, the intensity and they effort came up and we had a lot more shots,” Potenza continued. “But everything was up high (on the goalie) and we weren’t getting re-bounds.”

Owen Gonya and Sam Danais had early chanc-es for the Knights but it was the Bearcats that scored first, as they put the puck in the net with 13:12 to go in the first pe-riod. Kingswood came back with chances from Austin Chasse and Peter Marshall, while keeper Alex McKenna made a couple of solid saves in the net.

Kingswood was able to tie the game with 9:10 to go, as Austin Chasse broke in and fired the puck in the net for the tying goal.

The momentum was short-lived, as the Bear-cats came right back and scored just 44 seconds later to take the lead.

Kolbe Maganzini, Garrett Nedeau, Sean Harrington, Gonya and Danais continued the pressure for the Knights but they were unable to put the puck in the net. McKenna turned away a couple of bids at the oth-er end for the Knights and Nedeau had a shot blocked as the first peri-od drew to a close with the Bearcats up 2-1.

The lead lasted just 14 seconds into the second period, as Gonya sent a puck through the crease and it snuck into the net to tie the game at two.

Kingswood got a pow-er play chance with 10:40 to go in the period and Chasse had a centering pass miss the mark. Sam Barton sent a shot on net that was deflected high and Brodie Deshaies had a shot stopped by the Bearcat keeper. McK-

enna also turned away a shorthanded bid for the visitors and just mo-ments later, Kingswood got another power play.

Chasse had a bid go through the crease and Kingswood had a good presence in front of the net, but they were un-able to capitalize and the Bearcats scored a short-handed tally with 6:27 to go in the second period to go up 3-2.

Harrington had a bid

go through the crease and McKenna was sol-id in net, allowing the Knights to get another power play chance with 4:53 to go.

Gonya had a couple of good bids and Burke Ruel and Marshall both had chances but the puck was turned away and the penalty was killed off. Danais and Gonya con-tinued the pressure, but the second period ended with Kingswood down

3-2.The Knights killed

off a penalty early in the third period, with De-shaies doing a nice job on the kill. He also found Chasse on a scoring bid and Ruel had a bid de-nied.

The Bearcats got a power play goal with 6:20 to go in the game to go up 4-2 but Kingswood bounced right back. Da-nais came into the zone and fired a pass forward

to Ruel, who in turn got the puck back to Danais, who fired it into the net to cut the lead to 4-3 with 4:41 to go.

The visitors scored to go up 5-3 with 3:45 to go but Kingswood contin-ued to try and rally.

Marshall did good work getting the puck in the zone and Gonya and Barton worked in close to get it in the net. How-ever, it was Ruel who eventually got it in the net, with assists to Gon-ya and Barton to cut the lead to 5-4 with 2:14 to go.

Gonya, Chasse, Mar-shall and Ruel continued the pressure in the final minutes, but they came up short and the Bear-cats had the 5-4 win.

“We made their goalie look very good,” Potenza said. “And it was tough missing our top two-line centers.”

With Jake Vatala-ro and Sam Bonenfant both out of the lineup, Potenza juggled things around, moving some of the more experienced players back on defense.

“We tried moving

some of our experienced players back to shore things up in the defen-sive zone,” Potenza said. “But it’s tough for for-wards to learn defense overnight and vice ver-sa.”

Potenza noted both players are expected back in the lineup for the next game, which was af-ter deadline Wednesday.

The Knights opened the 2016 portion of the schedule with a 6-3 win over Pembroke-Camp-bell on Wednesday, Jan. 6. Gonya and Deshaies each had two goals, while Chasse and Ruel each scored one. Joey Vetanze earned his first high school win in net.

Kingswood will be back in action on Mon-day, Jan. 18, hosting Dover at 2:10 p.m. On Wednesday, Jan. 20, the Knights host Moulton-borough-Inter-Lakes at 7 p.m.


Central girls push past KingswoodBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

WOLFEBORO — Through two periods, the Kingswood girls’ hockey team was right with the Manchester Central girls at the Pop Whalen Arena on Satur-day, Jan. 9.

However, the Lit-tle Green had a strong third period and pulled away for a 9-3 win over the Knights.

“They played hard,” coach Tom Cayon said of his team. “They learned what inner-city hockey is tonight.

“They have two girls and we knew it,” the Knight coach said of the Central attack. “We play them again in a couple of weeks, we’ll adjust and we’ll come back.”

Both teams had chances in the open-ing few minutes of the game, with Jillian Luby playing strong defense in front of keeper Nik-ki Cayon, while Claire Richard had a bid go wide of the net.

The visitors got on the board first, scoring on a pass from behind to the front of the net that was tapped in for a 1-0 lead with 9:56 to go in the first period.

Kingswood came bat-

tling back after Cayon made a number of big saves, including one on a breakaway. With 5:45 to go in the first period, Shawna Knowles got a shot on net that the Cen-tral keeper stopped. The puck bounced around a bit in front of the net and eventually Sofie Marshall got a blade on it to get it in the net, ty-ing the game at one.

However, Kingswood gave up the go-ahead goal just more than a minute later, as Central scored off a faceoff to go up 2-1. The visitors then made it 3-1 just 20 sec-onds later.

Kingswood did not go quietly, as the Knights answered right after the second Central goal, as Shannon Riley charged in off the faceoff and ri-

fled a shot from the fa-ceoff circle to the keep-er’s left to cut the lead to 3-2. Marshall got an as-sist on the goal with 3:45 to go in the first period.

Riley and Richard had chances in the final few minutes of the peri-od but the frame drew to a close with Central up 3-2.

Knowles and Richard teamed up on an early

bid in the first half of the second period, but it was the visitors who scored first, putting a shot home just 1:09 into the first half of the sec-ond period (an injury in a previous game caused the game to start late and coaches and offi-cials agreed to make ice just once, halfway through the game).

Central had a couple of good bids that Cay-on was able to stop and Kingswood got shots from Riley, Marshall and Luby but could not put one in the net.

The Knights took a penalty with 4:20 to go in the first half and Cay-on held strong, as she made a number of big saves, while Richard had a shorthanded goal to help close out the first half with Central up 4-2.

Kingswood got a pow-er play early in the sec-

ond half of the second period but Central con-trolled the play, forcing Cayon to make a num-ber of big saves. She also made a save on a break-away after the penalty was killed and the game went to the third peri-od with the score still standing at 4-2.

The Knights had a power play for 1:50 to open the third period but could not get much pressure, as Riley mus-tered the only chance in the zone. Central scored on a goal from the slot with 12:28 to go and then scored just two minutes later on a rebound for a 6-2 lead. Richard had a couple of bids, teaming with Lauren Pomerleau for one of the chances, but the puck stayed out of the net.

Central scored again with 6:13 to go and King-

Big second quarter lifts Eagles over KnightsBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

NORTH CONWAY — When the Kennett and Kingswood boys’ basket-ball teams met to open up the season in Wolfe-boro in December, the game came down to the wire, decided by a few free throws in the final minute.

In the rematch in North Conway on Fri-day, Jan. 8, the Eagles took the suspense out of things with a big second quarter and cruised to a 74-58 win.

“We had a really good effort defensively and on the boards,” said Ken-nett coach Jack Loynd. “In the second half we played really hard, we played really tough, ag-gressive defense.”

“We dig a hole and try to find our way out,” said Kingswood coach Dan Place. “We’ve got to find a way to not dig the hole.”

Kennett came charging out of the gate and scored 10 of the first 11 points, with Drew Macdonald getting Ken-nett on the board, fol-lowed by a free throw from Brendan Donahue for the Knights. Carston Porter then followed with a pair of threes for the Eagles and then sunk two free throws to make it a 10-1 lead for the hosts.

Pat Meyers got King-swood’s first field goal of the game but Porter and Theo Scarlett had back-to-back buckets for the Eagles to stretch the lead to 14-3.

Kingswood was not down, however, as they came charging back. A Mike Kelley rebound and hoop got the run started and Meyers fol-lowed with two free throws. Cam Place then drilled two three-point-

ers in a row to cut the lead to 14-13. A Foster Pi-otrow hoop got the Eagle lead to 16-13 but Place’s third three of the quar-ter tied the game at 16.

Scarlett and Jack Ricker each hit free throws for the Eagles in the final seconds of the quarter to give Kennett an 18-16 lead through the first eight minutes.

Kelley got a hoop to open the second, tying the game at 18 but Rick-er answered with a three for the Eagles to take the lead again, a lead that they never relinquished. A Josh LaFleur hoop got Kingswood back to within one, but Ricker and Kherry Rober hit hoops and Fritz Carr hit four free throws. A free throw from Alex Butts and a hoop from Porter stretched the lead to 32-20.

Will Treuel got King-swood back on the board to end the Kennett run, but Rober followed with a hoop and Ricker hit two free throws for a 36-22 lead for the Eagles. Af-ter a pair of LaFleur free throws, Rober hit one from the line and Ricker hit two to make it 39-24 and a Ricker three-point-er gave Kennett the 42-24 lead.

Place hit his fourth three of the night to close out the half, cutting the lead to 42-27 at the break.

Kennett scored the first seven points of the second half, with two hoops from Scar-lett and a three from Porter before Kelley got Kingswood on the board with a hoop. Will Pollard, Scarlett and Pi-otrow came back with baskets for the Eagles before Meyers converted

a three-point play and drained a three-pointer. Jack Saunders drilled a three-pointer for the Knights to close out the quarter with a 55-38 lead for the Eagles.

Pollard hit a basket to open the fourth quar-ter and Porter hit a free throw before Meyers came back with two from the line and Treuel also adding two free throws. After a Scarlett hoop for Kennett, Treuel hit two more free throws and Pollard hit two at the other end.

A Pollard bucket got the Eagle lead to 20 at 64-44, LaFleur hit two free throws at the other end. Pollard came back with a three-pointer for Kennett and Place an-swered with his fifth three of the night. Rob-er added a three-pointer and Cole Johnston came

back with a hoop for the Knights. Rober hit for two to make it 72-51.

A Nick Duntley three and a hoop from Meyers off a great out of bounds save from Place made it 72-56 before Lee Dennis got Kennett’s final hoop of the game. Meyers scored the final hoop for Kingswood to account for the 74-58 final.

Loynd noted that he was impressed with his team and pointed out that it was hard to get minutes for everyone.

“Theo was huge and Carston had a decent game,” Loynd said. “And Jack, I have to figure out how to get him more minutes, he’s good when we get him in there.

“And the young kids are playing well,” the first-year head coach said. “Kherry’s had great defense and Fritz

has done a good job run-ning the floor.

“It’s a happy prob-lem,” Loynd said. “It makes for better compe-tition in practice.”

The Eagle coach also praised the Knights for their work.

“I think Kingswood’s much better this year, I’m glad we got the lead early,” Loynd said. “They started to cut into that lead.”

“We’re not as bad as we played tonight,” Place said. “We let them play more physical. They played a good game.

“We just couldn’t keep the ball in front of us tonight,” the Knight coach continued. “That makes it harder.”

Meyers and Porter were both credited with 16 points in the books, while Place added 15 points for the Knights and Scarlett and Pollard both added 11 for the Ea-gles and Rober added 10.

The Eagles opened the week with a 60-32 win in Berlin, while the Manchester West game scheduled for Wednes-day was postponed until Feb. 24. The Eagles also dropped an 80-56 deci-sion in Milford on Satur-day.

Kingswood opened the week with a 93-40 loss on the road in Ports-mouth.

Kingswood will be back in action on Fri-day, Jan. 15, hosting Goffstown and will be visiting St. Thomas on Tuesday, Jan. 19, both at 6:30 p.m.

Kennett will be back in action on Friday, Jan. 15, hosting Plymouth at 6:30 p.m.

JOSHUA SPAULDING

NICK DUNTLEY makes his move to the basket in action in North Conway last Friday.

It was the day that was supposed to happen almost a month earlier.

But, sometimes, that’s just the way it goes.

The first ski meet of the season was supposed to be on Dec. 21, the Mon-day before Christmas. Traditionally, that is the first time I get out on skis each year and I was plan-ning on it again this year.

However, Mother Nature had other ideas, with the lack of natu-ral snow and the warm weather making it im-possible to make snow meaning that I didn’t get to go out and ski.

Yes, there were a few ski areas that man-aged to open during the month of December, but my schedule kept me from getting out and do-ing much during Decem-ber (and early January, truthfully).

However, Friday was the first ski meet of the season for all of the lo-cal high school teams. Kennett, Kingswood and Plymouth were supposed to race at Gunstock and Prospect and Newfound were slated to compete at Ragged Mountain. With three teams at the for-mer, I made the choice to cover that race and they made things even easier on me when the race was moved from Gunstock to King Pine. With hoop games that evening in North Conway, the meet being held at King Pine made for a shorter drive after the alpine race

A little delayed, but King Pine well worth the wait

wrapped up.As is seemingly al-

ways the case, King Pine was ready for the racers with some great snow, despite the less than stel-lar conditions in which to make it. The trails were in great shape and the snow was fantastic.

I got out on the slopes for almost an hour pri-or to the race, hitting up a few different trails around the mountain. Lunch rolled around and I took a few more runs sandwiched around my break in the lodge for a bite to eat.

It was great to once again get back out on snow and it was really a bit disappointing on Sunday as I drove to the indoor track meet at UNH in the pouring rain. While I don’t get out and ski a lot, I like to have the chance and the rain is not doing me any favors.

My praise goes out to

SPORTING CHANCE

By JOSHUA SPAULDING

JOSHUA SPAULDING

THE FIRST ride up the chairlift at King Pine was a welcome sight on Friday.

the King Pine snowmak-ing and grooming team for a fantastic job of get-ting the hill ready for the racers and the rest of the skiers that came out to the ski area on Friday. And my thanks goes out to the great front desk staff in the lodge as well, for all their help in get-ting me out on the slopes for another year.

I love covering ski-ing for a number of reasons. First and fore-most, it gives me the chance to go out and get some runs on my skis. Secondly, alpine meets usually result in some great pictures and this time was no exception, at least in comparison to some of the other photos I take every year. Between the al-pine race and the two hoop games that eve-ning in North Conway, I had more than 400 pictures to sort when I got back to the office on Friday night.

And maybe 10 of them are in the papers this week.

Finally, have a great day Paula Gehl.

Coach John Tuttle noted that Siegler (1,500), Patrick Hodgman (600), Rogers (600) and Wood-bury (300) have all qual-ified to run in the state meet qualifiers in the coming weeks. Wood-bury has also qualified automatically for the state meet in the high jump.

“Our best chance to qualify for the state meet is in the 4X400,” Tuttle said. “And we’re going to run a 4X800 Wednes-day night and see how

that goes.”The veteran coach

remains impressed with the work his team has put in.

“This is a really, re-ally great group of kids, very hard working,” Tuttle said. “And still in-credibly young.”

The Timber Wolves

are off until Jan. 24 when they will travel to the University of South-ern Maine for a qualifier meet.

swood bounced back with some good chanc-es, as Riley and Richard had the best bids but couldn’t convert.

With 2:32 to go, the Knights took a penalty and Richard scored on the shorthanded time on an assist from Riley to cut the lead to 7-3.

However, Central scored twice in the final 1:39 to round out the 9-3 win.

“We only scored in three games last year,” Cayon said. “And we’ve scored in every game this year.

“The first six games were against teams that were 25-1,” the Knight coach continued. “That’s a tough sched-ule starting off.

“But we’re in games, we’re competing,” Cay-on noted. “That makes it easier to keep moral up. They have good spir-it and they work hard.

“I hope they get more

rewards for their hard work,” Cayon added.

The Knights dropped an 8-1 decision in Ber-lin on Thursday, Jan. 7, and Cayon called the Mountaineers the best team he’s seen all year.
