The fair officially kicked off on Saturday morning and ran through early Monday evening. An array of activities, animals, rides, food, fun, and competition could be found on the fairgrounds over the weekend. The festivities started on Friday with the popular midway preview. The grounds were open for free admission, and visitors could pay a flat cost to ride all the rides. People and animals came from all over to show and compete in the fair. ILES moving forward with school greenhouse BY ERIN PLUMMER eplummer@salmonpress.com MEREDITH — Plans are being set in motion that will lead to a greenhouse at Inter-Lakes Elementary School. On Tuesday, the Inter-Lakes School Board voted unanimously in favor of ILES Principal Steve Kelley moving forward with planning and fundraising efforts for a greenhouse as a living classroom project. Kelley made a presentation to the board during Tuesday’s meting. He said the school began an idea of engaging students in hands on learning experiences. He said he did not think there were enough hands on learning experiences for kids and too much of class consisted of talking. Kelley spoke to Chris Read, who had done some construction work for him. Kelley also learned Read is a master gardener. In conversation the ideas came up to do a greenhouse at the school. Kelley said the greenhouse would be a living classroom for students, a concept that led to so many more ideas. The greenhouse program will be aimed at children from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. Kelley said it will provide an opportunity for hands on experiential learning for the students and could be incorporated across the board into many subjects. Kelley said there are many ways in which the greenhouse can be connected to the curriculum and get kids more involved with learning and the outdoors. “We just want to get kids with their sleeves rolled up, digging in the dirt; that will get kids turned onto learning,” Kelley said. The team took a tour of other school greenhouses, including ones at Plymouth Elementary, New Hampton Elementary, and North Hampton Elementary. Options for the greenhouse include having a hoop house structure with plastic tarp siding; another would be to have a rigid Meredith, N.H., 30 pages 5 Water Street frame polycarbonate structure. The first option would cost around $25,000 for the structure while the rigid frame would be around $65,000. Kelley said the hoop house would not be as durable. SEE GREENHOUSE PAGE A7 People also entered art, craft, vegetables, jams and jellies, maple syrup, baked goods, and so many more creations. Other popular events included the tractor pull and the children’s pedal tractor pull among many others. A new event this year was the scavenger hunt. Kids received a red barn on a stick and went around the fairgrounds to locate different stops. Each of the stops had a cardstock token with the symbol of the stop on each part of the scavenger hunt. By the end of the hunt some stops had run out of tokens. This year’s fair marked Sandwich’s 250th anniversary. The 250th was the theme for this year’s Grand Street Parade. A large decorated cake constructed of hay and plastic was also set up on the fairgrounds. Fair Association presi- dent Dan Peaslee said this year’s fair was a great success. Around 35,444 people attended the fair over the weekend, around 6,000 people up from last year. Peaslee said a possible major factor to attendance this year was the fact the Sandwich Fair did not coincide with the Fryeburg Fair in Maine. Peaslee said this brought out more attendees as well as more animals. Peaslee said the barns were nearly overflowing with animals this year The weekend’s favorable weather also greatly helped. While rain did threaten during certain times, the weather generally cooperated and the fair closed with sunny skies and warm temperatures in Monday. “It’s just a really fun family fair for people, and rin Plummer Chloe Cole and Caelin Stockbridge ride the motorcycles at the Sandwich Fair. that seems to do well by us,” Peaslee said. “We keep it family oriented.” Peaslee also noted the large attendance at the Grand Street Parade, with people standing shoulder to shoulder along the street. Saturday’s Antique Auto Parade was also a major draw. Peaslee said the reSEE FAIR PAGE A6 Youths show their talents in the Sandwich Fair BY ERIN PLUMMER eplummer@salmonpress.com SANDWICH — Kids rode the rides, ate a variety of fair food, and played games over the weekend. A good number of youths also showed animals, entered exhibits, and even sold their own products at the fair. Overall, the Sandwich Fair provided many opportunities for children, tweens, and teens to show their skills and the life lessons they have learned. Many young people could be seen leading animals in the various competitions. Many of these youths are members of 4-H, which teaches children through age 18 skills in agriculture and general life skills. Whether as part of family farms or on their own motivation, kids came to the fair showing off the skills they have gained. Amber Paquette of Mont Vernon, age 14, came to the fair with her Holstein friend Jemma, her first cow. Earlier this year, Paquette said her uncle asked if she would be interested in having a cow. Her mother Michelle Paquette said she herself used to raise goats and she always wanted a cow The 14-year-old initially leased Jemma. The family has a barn and a backyard. She said some days are easier than others to take care of a cow. Some days are a more leisurely pace of running, feeding, and grazing, others can be more stressful. She and Jemma are friends. Paquette said Jemma knows who she is. “She’s kind of my pet,” Paquette said. Michelle Paquette said Jemma and her membership in 4-H has been a good opportunity for her daughter to learn responsibility and life skills. 4-H has also taught her daughter skills in self-confidence, public rin Plummer Emery Roberts of Chocorua pressed and sold his own cider at the Sandwich Fair’s Farmer’s Market. speaking, and others. this year.

This year’s parade theme was “Celebrating 250 Years of Sandwich History.” Parade Chair Mike Yeager said this year’s parade was a great success. “I think it was one of the best parades we had in a long, long time,” Yeager said. Yeager said the town’s 250th anniversary brought out many local people and organizations to participate. Head parade judge Marie Samaha said many of the contributors this year were families putting on their own displays. Yeager said an abundance of community spirit was on display during the parade. The judges bestowed a number of awards and premiums to a number of participants. The President’s Award went to the float by the 250th Anniversary Committee. Committee Chair Jennifer Wright said the committee wanted to make its own contribution to this year’s parade and members came up with a number of ideas. SEE PARADE PAGE A7 cow. Members of the Locke family of Barnstead took part in the horse competitions. Christina and Samantha Locke ran their family’s horses in the wagon pull along with their father Bruce Locke. Christina Locke said she gets the horses ready by exercising them, including dragging a tire. Locke said she has been coming to the fair for a long time. “I like it,” she said. In the Farmer’s Market, Emery Roberts of Chocorua could be seen pressing his own apple cider: cider that was bottled and sold to fair visitors. The 13-year-old has been making and selling cider for around four years. He started by helping a neighbor press cider and became more interested in the process. His family has a livestock farm, though it also has an apple orchard. He spoke to his parents about the possibility of getting his own cider press and his family agreed. He paid for the press and the supplies, also buying different varieties of plastic bottles to bottle the cider. Roberts said he can press 20 gallons of cider per hour. He does get some help from a few family members, such as his aunt who helped the pressing process. He also sells the cider at other venues, such as the farmer’s markets in North Conway and Tamworth.

The process began in 1763, with the granting of the new Town of Moultonborough by the Masonian Proprietors to a group of men from Hampton, led by Jonathan Moulton. Nothing had been done to settle the northern Lakes Region until the hostilities of the “French and Indian” war ended in 1760. Raids from the north then ceased, and surveyors were able to enter the territory in 1761 to survey the town’s boundaries and divide its land into lots. The Hampton men seeking the grant were disappointed to find that the thirty-six square miles of their intended town contained the rocky slopes of the Ossipee Mountains and Red Hill and the water of Lake Winnipesaukee – none of which were good for farming. They asked for more land, and the Masonian Proprietors agreed to give them the as yet ungranted territory north of Meredith and Sanbornton and south of Holderness, all the way to the Pemigewasset River. This was a “gore” of land that was left over after the granting of the surrounding towns. Called the “Moultonborough Addition”, this land was also surveyed and lots were laid out. Due to a dispute over the boundary of the Masonian Proprietors’ land, Jonathan Moulton then secured a second grant in 1765 of the same “Addition” from Provincial Governor Benning Wentworth, to whom he made the gift of a prize fat ox. Thus, the land New Patients Always Welcome “A divided Center Harbor village.” From E. M. Woodford’s 1859 map. that was to become the future towns of New Hampton and Center Harbor was first part of the Town of Moultonborough. There were “inconveniences, disadvantages and difficulties” in the administration of so unwieldy a town, and in 1777 the residents petitioned the legislature to charter two towns – one which became Moultonborough, and one which became New Hampton – with the dividing line essentially at Moultonborough’s current western boundary. What was to become Center Harbor was then the eastern part of New Hampton. That was still unwieldy, and in 1788 the residents of eastern New Hampton petitioned for a separate town. Their petition was denied because the legislature thought the new towns “would be unable to support churches and other public institutions”. The request was repeated in 1797 with the support of New Hampton, and the Town of Center Harbor was chartered that year. The south to north dividing line between New Hampton and Center Harbor was the east shore of Lake Waukewan, the Snake River and Lake Winona. At first, the town center was at the intersection of College Road and Route 25-B – known as Thompson’s Corner. The shore of Lake Winnipesaukee eastward to the Moultonborough town line all belonged to Meredith. Center Harbor was bordered by Meredith on the south, New Hampton on the west, Holderness on the west and north, and Moultonborough on the east. The village of Center Harbor, located at the head of Lake Winnipesaukee and at the intersection of roads to the east, west and north, grew quickly to become the principal settlement, but it was only partly in the Town of Center Harbor. The boundary line between Meredith and Center Harbor towns ran from east to west just north of the lakeshore, behind the present Congretational Church, fire department and town offices. Center Harbor petitioned the legislature to grant it some Winnipesaukee lakeshore, and the request was granted in 1873, taking land from Meredith over that town’s objections. Measured from the Moultonborough town line, the Meredith boundary was moved west some one and one-half miles to where it is today. As a consolation, Meredith was entitled to continue to collect taxes from the residents and properties that it lost to Center Harbor for a period of five more years. The act went into effect on July 3, 1873, and the residents of Center Harbor celebrated a very merry Independence Day that year. Dan Heyduk is an anthropologist and historian who lives in Meredith.

The book documents Montana’s work as well as his life, family, and involvement in the community. On Monday, Anderson signed copies of her book at Hawkins Photography & Custom Framing in Meredith, joined by a few of Montana’s children. Bob Montana was born in California and, according to the book, first came to Meredith with his family as a child, though the family moved less than a decade later. In 1946, after serving in the Army and starting a family, Montana resettled in Meredith. He created the “Archie” comics from the family’s farm on Meredith Neck that he shared with wife Peg and children Paige, Lynn, Ray, and Don. Over time, he became greatly involved with the community. Anderson said she has received an overwhelmingly positive response to the book, with many people thanking her for writing down the stories about Montana. “There’s a lot of Meredith history in there, and it’s a lot of Bob’s history,” Anderson said. “A lot of people said to me, ‘I didn’t even know he lived in Meredith.’ He loved Meredith; it’s his hometown.” Montana’s daughter Lynn Montana still lives in Meredith and works at Erin Plummer Carol Lee Anderson signs copies of her book “The New England Life of Bob Montana.” Hawkins Photography. She was around for the signing, as were her sister Paige and brother Ray, who all signed copies of the book and any other memorabilia someone brought in. Lynn and Ray Montana said their family greatly enjoyed the book, saying it paid great tribute to their father. “It’s something to put in my kids’ and grandkids’ hands and say, ‘Here, meet your grandfather,’” Lynn Montana said. “I think it portrayed my father in a way my father would be very pleased.” Lynn Montana said the book is also about Meredith, reflecting life in the ‘50’s through ‘70’s. Meredith Public Library garden wins third place in All-America Garden Contest MEREDITH — The Meredith Public Library Garden has won third place in the All-America Landscape Design Contest in category 1. This contest is a landscape design contest incorporating AAS Winners, past and present. Supported by the Greater Meredith Program and maintained by the Friends of the Library, each garden entering the contest was responsible for creating and executing the design, submitting photos, proof of publicity and an overall description of their design. All-America Selections is extremely pleased with not only the number of gardens that participated from all over the country including Canada but also the broad range of garden types. All-America Selections salutes all the gardens and their impressive efforts to produce an attractive display of AAS Winners. A number of years ago, the town wanted to remove the garden and put a less-expensive and lower-maintenance lawn in its place. Community support overrode that decision and the Meredith Public Library Garden was saved, thanks to the non-profit community organization, Greater Meredith Program, and the Friends of the Meredith Library, that take care of the design, planting and maintenance. This design transformed a boring lawn into a striking floral display making good use of a slope, a sidewalk and the AAS signage. The site for the All America Display Garden couldn’t be better chosen… it is prominently featured at Meredith’s beloved public library that is so important to Main Street and the village. The library lawn is the town gathering place for Memorial Day and Fourth of July ceremonies. The garden bestows beauty and serenity to these ceremonies and to residents and visitors throughout the summer and fall season. The Greater Meredith Program (GMP) is a nonprofit community economic development organization seeking to enhance economic vitality, historical and cultural heritage, and town-wide beautification. .

Erin Plummer Ray and Lynn Montana look over some Archie comic strips brought in during the signing of a book about their father, cartoonist Bob Montana. “There was a great deal of community spirit back then and he was in the thick of it,” Lynn Montana said. She said her father was not interested in being a leader in the community. He did take a key creative role in some efforts. He was also involved in other efforts, such as getting rid of the parking meters on Main Street. In any effort, he was still just a participant. Lynn Montana said she learned many things about her father in the book that she had never known before. Ray Montana said the family is overall thrilled with the book. He also noted the timing of the book with the 40th anniversary of his father’s death in 2014. “It’s nice to have it coming out now,” Ray Montana said. The signing had a strong turnout of people. Attendees included people who knew Montana and some people who themselves or their families were referenced in the Archie comic strip. “There’s been a lot of people who remember Bob, who knew him,” Anderson said. Bruce Heald, who was friends with Montana and wrote the book’s foreword, was also on hand to sign books. Allen Israel was a pharmacist on Main Street, working at Meredith Pharmacy (the current location of Community Park). Montana included Israel in three comic strips and Israel came to the signing with those three original strips. Jim Wallace, another friend of Montana, came by the signing. Wallace said he and Montana would go cross-country skiing together and spend time with family and friends. His father Harry Wallace’s oil delivery company H.A. Wallace Oil Company was featured in the strips. A truck came by the Montana house during the winter. During the winter, the strip showed deliveries by Harry’s Oil. Jim Wallace said he still has one of the original strips featuring Harry’s Oil. In the strip, Jughead gets out of the truck and looks to make a delivery, though he loads the oil in the swimming pool. Wallace had just purchased the book, but said he was greatly looking forward to reading it. “I just think it’s wonderful memories brought to life,” Wallace said. A4 Opinion THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2013 EDITORIAL Learning lessons in nature Regardless of age, income, tech savvy, or interest, there is one readily available learning tool for kids across the Lakes Region and far beyond. This resource is available in abundance, changes with the time of the year, and can be used by kids of all ages, not to mention adults. That resource is nature. It is often said the greatest asset in the Lakes Region, New Hampshire, and New England in general is the pristine outdoors. From the lakes to the woods, to the fields, there are ample opportunities for kids to find a natural interest. This reality was made apparent over the weekend during the Sandwich Fair. The fair has long been a haven for people and families with agricultural heritage and interest. Among the many people growing huge pumpkins, driving steer, or making apple cider were kids, tweens, and teens. Kids have made friends with animals, whether they have been longstanding members of their families or recently given a home in their barns and backyards. One commonly heard piece of information was how working with animals can boost kids’ self confidence and teach them responsibilities. In one case, a teenager from Chocorua took his interest in pressing apple cider and made it a little business. Emery Roberts sells the cider with his family’s farm, and has learned about crops, labor, supply costs, supply and demand, and many other business skills. He said he does want to go into business for himself when he is an adult. These benefits are not limited to children who live in rural areas with big family farms. At Inter-Lakes Elementary School, principal Steve Kelley presented a proposal to build a greenhouse on the school grounds. The greenhouse will become a living classroom for students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. The school board overwhelmingly supported the measure, and fundraising efforts will soon begin. Similar to the stories heard at the Sandwich Fair, student board representative Bob Euiler also told of students he has seen take an interest and even improve their outlooks after working in a greenhouse. Nature is an abundant source of life lessons for kids and adults. For those without a farm, animals, and a greenhouse, much can be learned by planting a few seeds in a cup, taking walks in the woods, observing birds or squirrels, and many other simple activities. Lessons in nature are flexible and can be as simple or complicated depending on one’s level of interest. These simple things can have so much of an impact on people of any age.

PET OF THE WEEK Whitney, alluring, beautiful muted calico girl, arrived as a stray, brought to our Meredith Center Road shelter in June 2013 by folks who realized she was homeless, and would be safe at New Hampshire Humane Society. It is perplexing that such a lovely cat could have been overlooked, all summer, by so many. Whitney is active, busy, vocal, spending most of every day we are open to the public begging for someone to take notice of her. We have her housed in a double cage in the lobby, but even that extra space is not what she truly needs. Whitney will be a wonderfully entertaining family member, likely to wake you up each morning, purring and snuggling, and will let you know when she wants to eat, play, love.

Does protecting this unfair subsidy justify the harm caused by the government shutdown? Although most Americans are unaffected by the shut-down, some Americans are hurt, especially since President Obama is shutting things that remained open during previous government shutdowns. Sometimes these closures are costing more money than normal operations. Americans being hurt by the shutdown include, among others: 200 child cancer patients whose National Institute of Health trials have been stopped; Veterans, National Guard, and combat soldiers whose payments are delayed; visitors to unexpectedly closed, for the first time, national parks and monuments; people thrown out of their homes on public land; millions of companies that are delayed or lose business; and millions of taxpayers whose taxes will pay non-essential government workers even though they aren’t working. The Republican House also passed bills fixing most of these specific problems to reduce the pain of the shutdown, but Senate Democrats won’t even consider them. When asked why he wouldn’t pass the bill funding the New Hampshire trial for 200 child cancer patients, Democrat Senator Reid asked, “Why would we do that?” President Obama and Democrats like to talk about fairness, but it isn’t fair to deliberately harm so many people just to benefit big business and highly paid government employees. Don Ewing Meredith Thanks to all who helped give Bill Randall a ‘normal’ day To the Editor: On Aug. 4, a benefit supper was held for my husband, Bill Randall. We would like to thank all of you who attended, donated, or were there with us in spirit. The very large crowd of friends and relatives who greeted Bill at the door is testament to the kind of caring support we experienced from the onset of his cancer ordeal. You, who sat with him through the afternoon discussing everything from construction talk to the latest happenings at Skelley’s and Dunkin’ Donuts, normalized his day for him at a time when nothing was normal. Thank you so much for that emotional support. And your very generous donations carried us through as we traveled a road no one wants to take. We would especially like to thank Keith Taylor, who put together this event, and his wonderfully generous family who worked so hard to help him carry it through. Once again, we offer our thanks to a community of very caring people. May you all be blessed in your own lives. With gratitude, Celia, Becky, Gina, and Beth Randall Wolfeboro C.A.R.E. Society donates to NH Children’s Trust LACONIA — Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) Compassionate Advocates for Reform and Empowerment (C.A.R.E.) Society, LRCC’s Human Services Club, sponsored the knitting/crocheting of baby caps for the NH Children’s Trust Inc., “Period of Purple Crying” campaign. Maria Doyle (Concord), NH Children’s Trust Inc. Training and Evaluation Director, contacted Club advisor, Linda Ferruolo (Gilford), in July to see if the C.A.R.E. Society would be interested in participating. “Of course they said yes,” states Ferruolo. “So I went out and purchased purple yarn and distributed it to anyone willing to knit or crochet these adorable baby caps. The final tally was 83 beautiful caps to donate to The Children’s Trust.” Every year, thousands of infants are shaken and abused at the hands of a frustrated parent or caregiver. Frustration with a crying infant is the number one trigger for the shaking and abuse of infants. In an effort to educate parents and caregivers about normal infant crying and to reduce frustration, the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome (NCSBS) is partnering with knitters and crocheters throughout North America to make purple-colored baby caps. New Hampshire Children’s Trust is coordinating NH’s participation in this initiative. The Period of PURPLE Crying® is the phrase used to describe the time in a baby’s life when he/she cries more than any other. This is also an educational program for parents about a developmental phase of increased infant crying. New Hampshire Children’s Trust leads the effort to bring information about the Period of PURPLE Crying to parents by providing technical assistance to hospitals to implement the program, supporting community based providers in reinforcing the program’s message, and spreading the word through coordinating public awareness. LRGHealthcare (a partner of LRCC), Laconia, is one of the 13 state hospitals participating. The program employs a three-dose strategy to reach parents and the community-at-large to bring about a cultural change in how people understand infant crying, and ways to cope with the frustration that inconsolable crying can cause and the dangers of reacting to this frustration by shakSEE C.A.R.E.

Local News MEREDITH NEWS THE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2013 A5 Community support builds Children’s Charity House BY ERIN PLUMMER eplummer@salmonpress.com LACONIA — A spacious new house on the market in Laconia has an array of beautiful features and amenities. When sold, not only will the house benefit the buyer — it will also greatly benefit children in the Lakes Region. The Children’s Charity House is a two-and-ahalf story, three-bedroom home on Turner Way in Laconia. The house was built through community efforts, and all proceeds from the sale will go to the WLNH Children’s Auction. The home on 190 Turner Way is listed as 3,270 square feet, with three bedrooms and four bathrooms. The house has hardwood floors, stonework, a back bungalow, a finished lower level, and many other amenities. The home was a project by the Lakes Region Builders and Remodelers Association and built through volunteer efforts, including donated labor and materials. Last Thursday, those involved in the project took part in a celebration with a ribbon cutting and tours through the finished house. The project began with ideas and efforts by Bob Glassett of Pella Windows of Bristol and Mike and Julie Hayward of Hayward of Hayward & Company of Bristol. Julie Hayward is also the President of the Lakes Region Builders and Remodelers Association. After the Children’s Auction two years ago, Glassett said he spoke with Mike Hayward, who mentioned the idea of doing a building for the Children’s Auction. “I said, ‘When do we start?’” Glassett said. Initial reactions to the idea were ones of disbelief. Glassett spoke to the Children’s Auction Board of Directors about the proposed project. Board member Ed Darling said his reaction was “disbelief at first and when we realized they were serious then excited.” Laconia Mayor Mike Seymour told the guests at the event he recalled his first conversations with Glassett and Hayward about this “crazy idea” that grew larger and larger. Seymour said he did no believe it at first, initially wondering if a project of that magnitude with all the labor and material efforts Courtesy The Children’s Charity House created by local builders and volunteers to benefit the WLNH Children’s Auction. The ribbon is cut on the new Children’s Auction House benefiting the WLNH Children’s Auction. required was possible. Glassett said it was around this same time last year when efforts to build the house kicked off. The project looked for a suitable piece of land. The decision was made the house should be in Laconia where the Children’s Auction first got its start. The effort got a good deal on property on Turner Way; Julie Hayward said the house also had to meet certain subdivision regulations. The Lakes Region Association of Builders and Remodelers created the design in collaboration between builders and the association’s board of directors. Financing for the project was done through Franklin Savings Bank. Construction on the house began in May. Hayward said city officials were most cooperative through the process. “They’re very excited about the project,” Hayward said. “From the fire department to the inspector, they made it very, very easy.” The word went out about the project and the help came pouring in. Hayward said over 100 people became involved in the process. A plethora of businesses including builders, suppliers, contractors of all kinds, landscapers, stonemasons, and so many others came out to help the effort. In addition to the builders, a number of community members also volunteered their time. Hayward said people from the community were dropping by to volunteer and tasks such as painting and cleaning. Darling said one of the biggest challenges in the project was finding things for volunteers to do. For interior painting, the initial concern was finding enough people to do the project. With all the volun- teer help they had around four people per room painting. The finished product was shown on Thursday in a celebration event with music, food provided by Patrick’s Pub and Eatery, and a ribbon cutting ceremony. “This group of people is a crazy bunch of people who decided, ‘Let’s build a house for the Children’s Auction,’” Hayward said to the crowd. Darling said such an effort shows the spirit and generosity of the community. “It is not surprising, it is heartwarming and it’s reaffirmation of everything we’ve known about the community,” Darling. “What a community effort it’s been; hats off to Lakes Region Builders and Remodelers Association,” said Molly King, member of the Children’s Auction board of directors and on air personality for WLNH. “Hats off to the members of the community who came here for set-up, painting, donating materials.” With Pub Mania and many other added events to the Children’s Auction, King said every effort is important to raising that total. King spoke to the crowd of the Children’s Auction’s roots, starting in 1982 with a WLNH van. The efforts Courtesy snowballed with community events such as Pub Mania. King said all the money raised through the Children’s Auction goes back to the community. The money raised through the WLNH Children’s Auction was distributed to 23 different organizations “It’s really special to this community, and it has grown to the magnitude because of all of you and we thank you,” King said. “Just the passion of this community is incredible, my hat’s off to all of you.” Seymour said in the end a project like this challenges people to do great things. Seymour said a project like this brought the city together to help the community, especially considering the great needs in the city. “On behalf of the city, I am so humbled and thankful for the volunteers and the board and everyone who made this happen,” Seymour said. Hayward thanked the many builders, designers, contractors, suppliers, and many others who aided in the efforts to build the house from providing materials and labor for the structure itself to woodworking, masonry, landscaping, and many others services for the house and the crews. Many businesses donated materials, systems, and la- Courtesy This spacious living room and other parts of the Children’s Charity House were made through business and community efforts.

A large board was placed in front of the property listing all the businesses, organizations, and individuals who took part in the build. The Charity House went on the market on Friday through RE/MAX Bayside. It is listed at $399,000 and all proceeds from the sale of the house will go to the Courtesy WLNH Children’s Auction. Over the weekend, the house was part of the Parade of Homes, a display of eight homes across the state. The house was opened to the public for visitors to see the efforts that were put in.

During these trying economic times, an ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure. We change the oil to avoid engine problems, and we get vaccines to prevent disease. Preventive dental care is the surest way to reduce the total cost of ownership if you are planning on keeping your teeth. Also keep in mind that when a problem is diagnosed at an early stage before symptoms develop, it can be nipped in the bud at a considerable savings of time and money. A dental exam using sophisticated diagnostic tools (x-rays, intra-oral cameras, cavity-detecting sensors, etc) is your best defense against major problems. More and more insurance carriers are contributing benefits towards frequent preventive dental services. Did they suddenly develop an interest in your health? No. Insurance companies have realized that preventive care will reduce the amount that they pay in benefits over the long run – so, it’s good for their bottom line, but it is also good for you. It’s a win-win scenario. Dental problems need treatment – they don’t just “go away by themselves”. Deferred treatment means bigger problems with bigger treatment needs and bigger bills. Delay is costly – so don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. Prevention and early treatment are the keys to good health and cost savings.

Fair Continued from Page A1 cord number of participating cars was for the 100th anniversary in 2010, when 105 cars participated. This year 94 cars took part, putting this year’s parade close to the numbers of 2010. “Overall, we’re ecstatic; it was a great year; there was a lot of happy people there all weekend long,” Peaslee said. The many parts of the fair drew many visitors from across the area, the state, the Northeast, and beyond. The fair has become a tradition for many families with many people growing up with the annual fun. Kate Widman of Moultonborough rode in the Barrel Run with her horse Boost. She also came with a horse named Twister, who was ridden by Tom Pappalardo. Widman started riding at the age of five. She said she has never missed a Sandwich Fair. “I’d come home from college in Ohio just for the fair,” Widman said. She and her horses will sometimes go to other events such as barrel races and rodeos. Their showing at the Sandwich Fair is the end of the season show. Widman said the fair is a friendly environment with many friends and family members around. She also said there is great support. “Everyone is really supportive, and we all cheer William Francis Randall, Bill to most, Billy to a few, left us on Monday, Sept. 23, 2013. He died surrounded by the love of his family and some of the many people who called him friend. He was the son of the late Kay and Charlie Randall of Duxbury, Mass., a brother among a family of nine. Bill was a man of few words, but those words were both whimsical and wise in his own way. He practiced a live-and-let-live attitude, and a good friend said recently of him, “I never heard Bill say a bad word about anyone.” A stone mason by trade, Bill leaves his art all around Southeastern Massachusetts and Lake Winnipesaukee in the form of massive stone fireplaces and home facings. Many are signed in his unique way with a surprising shape hidden among the stones—a turtle each other on,” Widman said. The Farmer’s Market drew a number of farms and small producers from around New England. The Sandwich Creamery was one local staple at the fair. Co-Owners Tom and Lisa Merriman offered a variety of products, including ice cream. This year they had two ice cream treats celebrating the town’s 250th anniversary. One was a s’mores sandwich (a play on the town’s name) and a sundae featuring an apple cider doughnut with cinnamon ice cream. The Merrimans said this was a successful weekend for them. Tom Merriman said many people came on Saturday and Sunday with Monday being a quieter day. Lisa Merriman said despite the threats of inclement weather for a few days, the parking lots were full the weekend. She said the farmer’s market is a good opportunity to meet people and network. John Connors of Sculptree, LLC in Meredith showed an audience his chainsaw carving skills during a demonstration in a large penned off area at the back of the fairgrounds. Connors did a chainsaw carving in front of an audience, also displaying some of his other creations. Connors has been doing chainsaw carving for 15 years and has his own shop on Route 104. This was Connors’ second year doing the demonstration at the fair. Mayhew Funeral Home 603-279-4007 ROUTE 3 AND CATALDO ROAD, MEREDITH, N.H. PETER G.

For the most part he accomplished his life’s work singlehandedly. Some of the stone chimneys atop the Castle In The Clouds were rebuilt by his hands. Bill’s hobbies can be simply stated: he loved his family, and he loved his work. Beyond these, his greatest joy was traipsing around the Northern Maine woods calling moose to him purely for the excitement of it (and they came!). Bill’s daughters, Becky When he first started, he said he felt all eyes on him. After a while he said he gets into a zone when he is carving and not noticing people there. He usually uses white pine for his carvings and white cedar for furniture work. Connors said he might use four or five different chainsaws for a carving. “I start out with larger ones and work my way down to the smaller ones,” Connors said. Overall, Connors said he enjoyed being at the fair. “I love it; it’s a great little fair,” Connors said. “I’m happy they asked me to do it last year.” Over on the midway, people of all ages had fun on different rides.

Some infants cry more than others, but that doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong.” Now in its third year, CLICK for Babies: Period of PURPLE Crying Caps is organized in 13 states and four Canadian provinces with the intent of collecting tens of thousands of knitted or crocheted purple colored baby caps.

The job of caretaker would still need to be doable within her contract for the school day. Hopes are that the greenhouse will be available for use nearly all year round. Kelley said the process will also look into collaborations between residents and local organizations. He has already spoken to John Moulton of Moulton Farm and several parents have expressed interest in being part of this project. Read said the hoop house design would last around five years. He said Moulton advised them a hoop house would not be a good consideration for a classroom setting. Potential snow loads are also not an issue with a rigid frame structure.

Kelley said efforts will be put in place to fundraise for the greenhouse’s expenses, Kelley said when he started talking about the greenhouse, word spread and more people were offering their support Board member Mark Billings suggested using the advisement and support of local garden clubs, which can include master gardeners and experience in grant writing. He said his wife is a member of two local garden clubs and has expressed interest in the greenhouse project. “I’m just kind of blown away by the concept,” said board chair Richard Hanson. “I like the way you presented it.” Hanson did expressed concern that the greenhouse might hinder the regular duties of the interventionist. Superintendent Mary Ellen Ormond said staff members are already given stipends for their involvement in clubs and other co-curricular activities. Ormond said the people with greater responsibility for the greenhouse will be those students and staff who are involved with it as a whole. Kelley said the coordinator will do duties such as keep an eye on the greenhouse and remind teachers what vegetables need to be picked and other simple tasks. Read said some aspects of the greenhouse maintenance can be self-sustainable, including using a rainwater system for watering and bringing in ladybugs to control pests. He said someone will still have to keep an eye on the greenhouse, especially monitoring the soil for pests. Student board representative Bob Euiler said he recalled a greenhouse program run by science teacher Norm Roulx and the interest students took in that. Euiler said he can see a good number of younger students who will want to be regularly involved in it. He said he had a friend with behavioral issues who found a niche in the green- house and was regularly working in there. “There definitely will be those kids that will find a ton of interest in it and will be on top of it,” Euiler said. Board member John Martin said the school can get the learners engaged before the greenhouse gets put up. “I just see an immense potential there, and I’m excited,” Martin said. Board member Lisa Merrill recalled the enthusiasm of the students who worked in the Lexus Eco Challenge, saying she was greatly in favor of the greenhouse project. Board member Howard Cunningham said integrating the curriculum with this project will require more flexibility by the board and the staff and will be a developing project. Ormond sought a motion for the school board’s support of the concept and permission for Kelley to start fundraising. The board approved the motion unanimously.

The float showed posters with photos and descriptions of the various anniversary events throughout the year. Committee members and friends sat amongst bales of hay by a big sign reading “250.” Wright said the 250 numbers were available for people to take photos with. The cornstalks, hay bales, and pumpkins for the float were provided by Steve Smart, a farmer in Meredith. The chrysanthemums were provided by Loretta Rowan. Adam Nudd-Homeyer donated nine chairs he made himself. Wright said the award “was an honor.” Wright said she was happy with the participation in the parade for the 250th anniversary. call the Meredith Parks and Recreation 279-8197. Meredith Public Library Thursday, Oct. 17 Knotty Knitters at the Meredith Library 10 a.m.noon. The Knotty Knitters meet every Thursday at 10 a.m. Knitters of all experience levels are invited to work on their projects, share ideas, and share in good company! Friday, Oct. 18 Tot Time Story Time at the Meredith Library 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. & 11 a.m.-noon. Ages 0 – 3. “The streets were crowded, which was really nice,” Wright said. Students at Sandwich Central School did their own float showing the town’s history. Teacher Justin Chapman said the float’s concept was three weeks in the making. After all their ideas were put together, students spent three days after school working on the float. Chapman said the kids all helped put it together, contributing drawings and posters. “We did the history of Sandwich; all the people and all the different buildings,” said fifth grader Fiona Hoag. The centerpiece of the float was a giant book. “I think the best part of it was probably just the book,” said fourth grader Kobi Dostie, saying he also enjoyed the costumes. Overall, the students worked well together and enjoyed the project. The efforts won SCS the Tish O’Neil Award. “I feel really good about it,” Dostie said. “I just think we’re all very happy,” Chapman said. “It’s great to be recognized for your work.” The award for Best Theme- Float went to Red Hill Masonic Lodge with their float featuring costume styles from Sandwich’s history. Best in Theme- Non Float was given to Eli, Adah, Ethan, and Noah, who rode on their bikes in coonskin caps. Lucy Morton won the Jack Burghardt Award for Best Decorated Non-Motorized Vehicle. Her display included a sheep and a sandwich.

Paid Advertisement Paid Advertisement Paid Advertisement Congress has designated the third week in October as National Save for Retirement Week — which means it’s a good time to think about your own retirement savings strategies. Ensuring that you have enough money to support your chosen retirement lifestyle is certainly important. Unfortunately, many of your fellow Americans have apparently not done enough in the way of building retirement savings to ease their minds. Consider these figures, taken from the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey: • Forty-nine percent of those surveyed said they are not confident about being able to afford a comfortable retirement. • Just 46% of survey respondents say they and/ or their spouse have even tried to calculate how much money they will need to live comfortably in retirement. What steps can you take to gain confidence in your ability to retire in the manner you have envisioned? Here are a few suggestions: • Envision your retirement lifestyle. At what age do you want to retire? When you retire, do you plan to travel or stay close to home and pursue your hobbies? Will you do some part-time work or consulting? It’s important to identify your retirement goals and then, as best as possible, estimate how much they will cost. Once you know what your retirement goals look like, you’ll be able to shape a strategy for achieving them. • Contribute as much as you can afford to your retirement accounts. No matter what your retirement goals may be, you’ll help yourself by contributing as much as you can possibly afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. (At a minimum, put enough into your 401(k) to earn your employer’s matching contribution, if one is offered.) And if you reach the point where you can “max out” on these plans, look for other tax-advantaged investments to which you can contribute. • Invest for growth. To help you reach your goals, you’ll want to include a reasonable percentage of growth-oriented vehicles in your retirement accounts. The exact percentage will depend on your risk tolerance and your specific objectives, but it’s important to have that growth potential. Keep in mind, though, that investing in growth-oriented vehicles involves market risk and possible loss of principal. • Review your progress. At least once a year, review your portfolio to determine if its performance is still on track to help you make the progress you need to reach your goals. • Make changes as needed. If your investments are simply underperforming, you may need to make some changes. And in the years immediately preceding your retirement, you may also need to adjust your holdings, possibly by moving some dollars from growth-oriented investments to income-producing ones. However, even at this stage of your life, you may still need your portfolio to provide you with some growth potential — you could be retired for two or three decades, so you’ll want your money to last and to stay ahead of inflation. National Save for Retirement Week comes just once a year. Take its message to heart. it t u P on!

Singers wanted The Sandwich Fair is past, and it is now time for the first rehearsal of the Sandwich Singers. Friend and neighbor the journalist Shirley Elder Lyons captured it forever when her long-ago article (in the NH Times) about the Sandwich Singers and founder Bob Bates was titled, “Sandwich Sings.” Bob has, as some people put it, started directing a celestial choir, but we didn’t want to stop singing. Friends and neighbors continue to gather the first Saturday after the Fair, and meet once a week to prepare wonderful, familiar, new, strange - always varied things - to celebrate the season. This year’s concerts will be in Sandwich on Dec. 15, and in Tamworth on Dec. 18. If you heard, or heard about, last year’s concert, you don’t need much sales pitch: these people (you, your friends and neighbors!) can sing! And they have another rousing commission, brought to us by the Yeoman’s Fund for the Arts and four composers-in-training with Jonathan Santore at PSU, which will once again include parts for kids from local schools and home schoolers. Please join the group to sing. Tell your friends who meant to do it last year but were too busy. Rehearsals start Saturday, Oct. 19, from 9-11:30 a.m. at the Baptist Meeting House in Center Sandwich. Please call Peggy Johnson for more information at 323-8877. Pieathlon It’s back! The most delicious race of the season! The Pieathlon!

Bob and Jane Hammond – 41 Years In Business THE MEREDITH NEWS AT THE LIBRARY Moultonborough Public Library News BY JANE RICE Contributor We have several events coming up to help our patrons enjoy the Halloween season. Mark your calendars for the annual “Fright Night” at the library on Friday, Oct. 18 at 6:30 p.m., this year featuring Sean and his Balloons. Come in costume if you wish, and be prepared to enjoy a selection of deliciously spooky refreshments. Next, Bring in your pumpkin on Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 3 p.m., and there will be an after school pumpkin decorating program. The spooky season concludes with a special trick or treat story time on Wednesday, Oct. 30. Come in costume and we will trick or treat the town offices, bank, post office, and Country Store. The next of the fall book discussion programs will take place on Thursday, Oct. 24, at 10:30 a.m., and the topic will be “One Minus One,” by the wellknown author and local resident Ruth Doan MacDougall, who will also be participating in the discussion. Set in the late 1960’s, “One Minus One” takes us close to home, as MacDougall introduces us to newly divorced high school English teacher, Emily Bean, who lives in an apartment near Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Initially almost obsessed with her ex-husband, Emily evolves from a traditional woman to a person who struggles toward her own self-definition. This main character can be viewed as an “every woman” coming to understand both the freedom and loneliness of independence. We have extra copies of the book available. Along with the other new fiction titles arriving this week, we are pleased to add a new mystery tale written by one of our own library patrons. Diana Morgan’s new book, “Trashed: a Murder and the Mayor” mystery, is set in a small town known as “Whittier, New Hampshire,” and involves the road agent as murder victim, the mayor as chief suspect, and her boyfriend, the police chief, who heads up the investigation. Moultonborough residents may recognize our recycling center on the cover. Also new and of New Hampshire interest is “Seahawk: Confessions of an Old Hockey Goalie,” by Bruce Valley. The Seahawks were a semi-professional town hockey team in Rye in the years following World War II, playing outdoors on local rinks and even at the old Boston Garden for the New England championship. This week’s new fiction titles are “The Double,” by George Pelecanos; “Storm Front,” by John Sandford; and “Doing Hard Time,” by Stuart Woods. Recent nonfiction includes “Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin,” (Benjamin Franklin’s sister), by Jill Lepore; “Thank You For Your Service,” by David Finkel, about the lives of our soldiers after their military service is over; “Flour, Too,” a cookbook by Joanne Chang, a followup to her “Flour” cookbook, named after her Boston bakery; “A House in the Sky,” by Amanda Lindhout, who traveled the world before being held captive in Somalia for over a year; “The Secrets of Lost Cats,” by Dr. Nancy Davidson, and “Marmee and Louisa,” a biography of Louisa May Alcott and her mother. If fall weather inspires you to thoughts of housecleaning before winter sets in, keep in mind that the library accepts book donations for the summer book sale year-round. Donations of books in good clean usable condition can be brought in during regular library hours, but please refrain from bringing items that we will have to dispose of, such as outdated reference books, textbooks, and condensed books, as well as those with missing covers or other damage. We already have over 200 boxes towards next summer’s sale, which will be on the Fourth of July weekend. Mark your calendar to be there to buy books, or to volunteer to help. Computer professional Don Campbell of PC Handyman is at the library each week to help our patrons with issues they may have with their home computers or other devices. Don is here on Wednesdays from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., and is happy to assist if you are in difficulties with your computer.

Hostesses Gayle Russell and Harriet Bicksler arrived early to arrange and set tables, decorate and start coffee. They had help from Alice Capowski and the dessert committee consisting of: Rose Kennedy, Simone Sampson, Jane Coyne, Karen Wright, Dotti Simpson, Nancy McDonough and Pat Keegan, who provided sweet rewards of pumpkin bars, pumpkin bread, apple raisin squares, apple pie, carrot cupcakes, butterscotch squares and Simone’s apricot rollups. It was definitely apple and pumpkin season that went deliciously with Donna Grow’s bountiful, savory roast pork with stuffing and gravy with all the fixings. Carol Bamberry was pleased to introduce Hannelore Munson fairly new to the club, who told her story of being a young girl during WWll and the hardships she and her family endured. She went on to reiterate being funneled into Communist East Berlin, Germany and the difficulty of being stuck there. It was extremely dangerous but secretly father, mother and Hannelore escaped and were able to begin a new life in America and freedom. Sherry Weene organized a scarf sale and members had fun trying them on and got some tips on how to tie scarves several ways. Priscilla Quinton has been busy Market on the 20th. Much has been accomplished with the raised funds over the years such as research, early detection, treatment, risk reduction, genetic tests, access to care and help. It’s about survival to save more lives and giving support to our friends and loved ones. Because of early detection, more women are surviving breast cancer than ever before. Last year, with generous help from sponsors, we raised $5211 and hope to top that this year. This is MWC’s 18th year of participating in these walks and has received numerous certifications from the American Cancer Society for our support in this fight against cancer. The ultimate goal is finding a cure for cancer that effects so many families. MWC would like to dedicate our walk to Joyce Lund, a MWC member who recently passed away with this terrible disease. If more information is needed, you may call 476-5173. MOULTONBOROUGH — On Monday, Oct. 21, join the Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT) for a fall hike along the Brook Walk, a historic and scenic trail within LRCT’s Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area. The Lakes Region Conservation Trust has conserved more than 22,000 acres in the Lakes Region in over 120 properties since its founding in 1979. The Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area in Moultonborough and Tuftonboro, totaling over 5,000 conserved acres, is the largest property owned by LRCT. The 30 miles of trails spread throughout this conservation area are maintained by an incredibly dedicated and enthusiastic team of LRCT volunteers. During this guided excursion, we will hike beside impressive gorges, following the course of Shannon Brook as it flows over rapids and seven spectacular cascades.

THE MEREDITH NEWS Students at Inter-Lakes take ­advantage of the Greater Meredith’s Career Partnership Program MEREDITH — Three seniors at Inter-Lakes High School are starting their year off on the right foot, making sure that they know just exactly what they want to do when they graduate. Anna Brown is interning at Booty Family Farm in Center Sandwich. The picture of her shows her after cleaning the soil around the vegetables. Booty Family Farm is a second generation family-owned certified organic farm. They are dedicated to producing the highest quality vegetables and maple syrup. John Findlay is interning with both Kathleen Hill in the Inter-Lakes Middle Tier Drama Club and Emily Eynon, Inter-Lakes band and music. Findlay helps the drama club with play try-outs, acting and set-up. He also helps the music department with underclassmen who need extra help and often helps to teach the classes. Lydia Swedberg is focused on Interior Design and perhaps Industrial Design in college. She is interning at Interiors by Randi in Moultonborough. Interiors by Randi is a private, full-service “mini design center” that services clients in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, and has expanded throughout Massachusetts. Swedberg is shown picking out samples for a clients home furnishings. Each intern is gaining new knowledge of the industry that they chose. They are determining, from hands-on experience, if this is the correct career choice for them. “I have to say that in visiting the business sites when the students are there and talking one-on-one with the students and supervisors, all three seniors have chosen internships that compliment their interests. What a great program we have to allow these students the opportunity to have this experience before they graduate,” says Career Partnership Program Director, Rhonda Hanaway. The Greater Meredith’s Career Partnership Program is a resource in the guidance department and offers one day job shadows; internships; a guest speakers’ bureau; volunteer and community service opportunities; and a oneday job fair!

The hat trick (plus one) was Rotonnelli’s ninth of the season, and she got the scoring started with an assist from Sarah Dunlap. Kaylee Converse also tallied in the first half, as she took a feed from Daniele Boucher to give I-L a 2-1 halftime lead. Converse scored her second of the game early after intermission, with Dunlap picking up the assist. While Newport scored to close within 3-2, Rotonnelli exploded for three straight goals, with assists coming from Dunlap and Madelyn Edgar.

He won the WOW Fest Take Opechee 10K in Laconia back in September, easily distancing himself from the field by nearly four minutes (36:37). He also had a Top 10 finish at the 1,000 runner ‘Four on the Fourth’ four mile race in York, Maine (ninth place) and a second-place showing in the Christian’s Lifeguard 5K in Ogunquit, Maine back in June. But Dever’s training intensified in preparation for the half marathon during the spring season.

Despite cool conditions and an early morning start, Dever traversed the 13.1-mile course in 1 hour, 17 minutes and 54 seconds. Dever started the race near the beginning of the pack, taking off with the first (and fastest) wave of runners. While an initial small pack of runners broke away, Dever stayed with a handful of competitors for the first six or so miles. While the pace was picking up, the 26-year old, who teaches elementary school at Southwick School in Northfield, decided to make his move. Almost unheard of in a race of that distance, Dever maneuvered the next 7.1 miles all by himself, with no fellow runners around to pace him or draft off of. “I never looked behind me but I would hear people clapping when I ran by,” he began. “Then I would listen closely but never heard cheering at all while I was in range.” The result was a comfortable fifth place finish, as he bested the sixth place finisher by 1:09.

That recipe made for a nice afternoon on the ground, with tailback Matthew Ehrenberg leading the way with 142 yards rushing on 16 carries. “We talked about not giving up the big play on defense and even though (33-0) is a big score, I’m proud of the defense,” said Francis. “Bow chipped away throughout the game but we didn’t really break yard gainer on first down, the drive stalled at the 27 yard line however, with quarterback Josh Blundo’s pass on fourth down being knocked away.

Blundo completed four of his 11 pass attempts for 50 yards, with Evan Candage hauling in a pair of those completions for 19 yards. Devante Carter had the biggest offensive play of the game for the Lakers in the second quarter, when he took a screen pass from Blundo 23 yards for a first down into Bow territory. While the Lakers saw their two game winning streak halted in the loss, the squad now has a bye week to rest some wounds before arguably the biggest game of the season on Oct. 26. That will be a road trip to Tilton, where Lakes Region foe Winnisquam will welcome I-L/MA to town. Both teams have identical 3-3 records in the North Conference of Division III, and huge playoff implications are likely to be on the line when they meet. The Bears will also be coming off a bye week. “Two weeks is big,” said Francis of the break between games. “We were without a few starters today so we need to refocus and come prepared for Winnisquam.

But the Lakers managed to get the better of the Bears for the second time this season on Oct. 7. Behind a record-breaking night from senior middle hitter Jordan Donohue, visiting Inter-Lakes outlasted Winnisquam in a 25-20, 29-31, 25-19, 20-25, 15-6 marathon of Division III action. Donohue set school records for kills in a match (28) and blocks in a match (13), as she was all over the floor to pace the Lakers. The co-captain added eight service points and 10 digs in the win. Senior setter Hayley Roth recorded 30 assists, 10 digs and 11 service points, while Jessica Schofield was solid over the middle with six kills and seven blocks. Kaila Martin had three aces and a key kill in the decisive fifth set, while Lydia Swedberg (eight digs, 11 points), Victoria Burns (10 digs, six points), Jenny Pelczar (10 points, five digs) and Sarah Sundius (three kills, three digs) all played a hand in the win. Winnisquam senior outside hitter Hannah Chapin led the way for the Bears, as she totaled 16 kills and five aces. Classmate Mo Raymond chipped in seven kills and 11 digs while setter Erica Doubleday racked up 33 assists. Libero Dallis Austin registered 14 digs to pace the back row, while Carissa Archibald had 13 digs. It was a back and forth match from the get-go, as the Lakers jumped out to a 22-14 lead in Game 1 thanks to a relentless blocking game from Donohue and Schofield. Donohue totaled four blocks in the opening game alone, frustrating Winnisquam hitters en route to a 25-20 win. The second game was likely one of the best frames of volleyball in the region this season. Momentum shifts galore saw I-L lead 23-20 and looking to hold on for a commanding advantage. But Winnisquam rebounded, and a Becky Rapoza ace put the Bears at game point ahead 24-23. Bailey Long appearaed to have a block that gave the game to Winnisquam, but the officials called a net violation, and things continued on. Both teams had looks at set points, but like a tennis match stalled at deuce, neither side budged. Donohue put down two kills to set up game points, but each time, Chapin answered to tie the score back up. Winnisquam finally closed it out due to a carry against Inter-Lakes however, and the Bears evened the match at 1-1 thanks to an exhausting 31-29 win. The Lakers came back to take the third game, 25-19, but Winnisquam snagged Game 4, 25-20, to set up a make or break fifth set. In the final frame, the Lakers got on a roll and didn’t look back. I-L scored 11 of the match’s final 13 points to earn a convincing 15-6 victory that completed the season sweep of the Bears (I-L was a 3-1 winner in Meredith last month).

Despite not playing their best, the Moultonborough Academy volleyball team still did plenty to pull out the win on Oct. 9. The Panthers weren’t their usual sharp selves in the first two sets, but a home sweep was still in the cards. MA pulled out a 25-21, 25-20, 25-14 victory over visiting Prospect Mountain in Division III play to complete the season sweep of the Timberwolves. “It’s amazing that we just can’t get energy of setter Veronica Diltz, who nabbed the start in place of an ill Rachel Duddy.

The third frame finally saw MA get into a rhythm, with service runs from twins Jenn and Ally Lively allowing the hosts to take an 18-10 lead. Wallace tossed in two aces late, and the Panthers didn’t look back in a 25-14 win that secured the 3-0 sweep. “To be able to pull it out in three despite not having our best stuff…that says something about this team,” Garneau lauded. Libero Dana Jackson paced the defense with 16 digs on the night, while Mason and Jenn Lively each had four kills. Diltz performed very well in her first start of the year, as she was 19-for-21 from the service line with four aces and 10 assists. “I thought Veronica Diltz did an outstanding job,” said Garneau. “For her first entry into a situation like this, she handed herself very well.” MA had a week off following the win, with the team’s next scheduled contest slated for last night after deadline against Winnisquam.

Mayor will read and discuss this 24th installment of his popular police procedural, with time for audience questions, and signing copies of “Three Can Keep A Secret,” now available from Minotaur Books/St. Martin’s Press. A funny and lively storyteller, Mayor keeps fans entertained, as you can see from this recent ‘Stuck in Vermont’ profile. A death investigator for Vermont’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and a detective for the Windham County (Vermont) Sheriff’s Office, Archer Mayor has authored the Joe Gunther police procedurals based on real-world field experience. The result is greater depth, detail, and veracity for his characters and their tribulations. The New York Times calls him “the boss man on procedures.” Booklist: “Mayor’s Joe Gunther novels are among the best cop stories being written today.” Set in 2011, just as Hurricane Irene leaves Vermont devastated, Joe Gunther and the Vermont Bureau of Investigation pitch in to help the state’s overextended authorities. What Gunther and his agents end up with in “Three Can Keep A Secret” is an odd, seemingly unrelated batch of cases: a patient who calls herself The Governor has walked away from a state mental facility when the flooded facility is evacuated; and a seventeen year old gravesite is exposed, revealing a coffin that had been filled with rocks instead of the expected remains.

They will need to be in top form, however, as the judges for the annual gala fundraiser have between them decades of “Shakesperience,” including acting directing, music and verse. They are: Dan Beaulieu, a Dover native now residing in New York, is the founder of Seven Stages Shakespeare Theater, which produces award-winning drama in the Seacoast region, including their new ShakesBEERience series of readings at the Press Room in Portsmouth. Having survived last year’s “Idol,” Caroline Nesbitt gamely returns and brings her vast experience as an, actor, director, published writer and videographer. As founder of Advice To The Players, she was honored by the NH Theater Awards for ‘Excellence in Children’s & Youth Theatre’ in 2008. Last, but certainly not least, Andrew Periale: a puppeteer, playwright, poet and polyglot. He has a natural wit honed by years of writing zany sketches for the Emmy-nominated Perry Alley Puppet Theatre. He is the current poet laureate of Rochester, as well as the longtime founding editor of Puppetry International magazine. He was awarded an UNIMA Citation for excellence in the art of puppetry for his solo show Chinese Take-Out Theater. He currently lives and tours from Strafford. And those who will face these three titans include: Marion Posner, Storyteller; long-time Barnstormer ac- tor and puppeteer Will Cabell; actor Bill Viau; ATTP directors Mark Woollett and Candace Clift; and Leo Greene, a long-time Sandwich Player. All the fun won’t be had by the judges alone! Audience members have their ‘role’ as well, voting for their favorites to see who will “gain the fame” and MC Chris Boldt will rein in the chaos! Be there: Saturday, Oct. 19, 7 p.m.; The Barnstormers Theater, Tamworth; suggested donation $10. For more information: shakespearianidol@advicetotheplayers.org.

Pastor: Rev. Marshall Davis Organist/Music Director: Edna Van Saun Culture MEREDITH NEWS THE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2013 B9 NORTH COUNTRY NOTEBOOK Northern Pass and overnight mushrooms: Both, we hope, will disappear tomorrow By John Harrigan Columnist I’m not unusually drawn to shadows, but the term ”shadow government” has a certain Byzantine appeal, as does, more appropriately in the case of Northern Pass, “shadow conscience.” The shadow entity is almost always for a cause, just shy of a crusade. The David and Goliath story is an overworked and often misused analogy, and I’ve avoided overworking it even more, opting instead for “The Attack of the Mushroom People.” As the news spread about cutting 40 miles of huge new right of way through the North Country (emphasis on “new”) so Hydro Quebec could use Northern New Hampshire as a doormat to get to lucrative consumers far to the south, up sprang opponents, like mushrooms in the night. SPEAKING OF FAITH The Fruit of the vine… BY REV. DR. VIRGINIA JONES-NEWTON Retired United Methodist Minister Sandwich Did you know that the state fruit of New Hampshire is a pumpkin? Many people think pumpkins are a vegetable. Technically speaking, it is a fruit because a pumpkin is has seeds in it and comes from a flower. Pumpkins are hardy, and even if many leaves and a portion of the vine is removed or damaged, the plant can very quickly re-grow a secondary vine to replace what was removed. This time of year when pumpkins are being harvested, we tend to think of the many ways we enjoy the fruit. A favorite is pumpkin pie, and as Halloween approaches there will be many pumpkins carved into jack-o’lanterns. Since pumpkins are indeed a fruit, how do we then connect symbolically ways of being “fruitful” with our lives? Jesus told his Disciples, “I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.” Jesus sees fruitfulness quite differently than the way the world does. The world equates fruitfulness with success. There is a difference between success and fruitfulness. In our society, we are defined not by who we are, but where we work, and sometimes by our heritage Think about when we meet a person for the first time, the questions of employment is one of the first topics in the conversa- tion. By contrast, from a Christian point of view, “Fruitfulness” is not measured by productivity or success. When Jesus talks about being “fruitful” he turns the value of success upside down. I like the distinction between “success” and “fruitfulness” that the late Father Henri Nouwen made. He wrote: “Jesus lived less than forty years; he didn’t travel outside his own country; the people who knew him during his lifetime scarcely understood him. When he died, only a few of his followers remained faithful. In every respect, his life seemed a failure by worldly standards. It seemed success had left him. His popularity had dwindled, and all of his power was gone. Still, few lives have been so fruitful. Few lives have affected the thinking and feeling of so many people so deeply. Few have so profoundly shaped future cultures, and few have influenced the patterns of human relationships so radically than the way Jesus did.” Knowing he was facing his last days on earth. Jesus told his disciples: You did not choose me but I chose you; and I appoint you to go and bear fruit that will last… (John 15: 15-16) Fruitfulness comes through faithfulness. The good news is that Jesus continues to bear fruit. He gives us life giving power. It is the flow of the spirit in us that gives us the ability to bear much fruit. May you experience “fruitfulness” in all seasons of your life. John Harrigan Mushrooms in a Colebrook barnyard. They and Northern Pass, neither having much in the way of substance, should soon go away. Because opponents more or less rushed up the hill when someone blew a trumpet, there is no formal organization, no superstructure, not even a leadership group to pinpoint. Hence, nothing much for the power line boosters to attack. There is, indeed, a shadow conscience at work here, and in fact two. One is in the Colebrook-Pittsburg territory and the other is centered in Franconia and Easton. They communicate. I think we have Northern Pass on the ropes. The or email ddrake@laclt.org. Seating is limited and advanced registration is required. LACLT is able to present this educational program free of charge thanks to the generous support of Meredith Village Savings Bank. After completion of the program, the Center also offers follow-up counseling and assistance for families or individuals as they navigate the home buying process. Laconia Area Community Land Trust, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit, is a member of NeighborWorks® America, and is supported in part by membership donations and the Lakes Region United Way. Its mission is to assist low and moderate income families achieve economic self-sufficiency through the development of permanently affordable housing opportunities and associated support pro- ing. To me this is the Sleeping Giant of the whole debacle. We should not be mired in the muck of arguing over minutia, such as the height of certain towers on certain pieces of land (one of which is a swath through the White Mountain National Forest). Buried or not, it would be a new swath across the landscape, and for outside investors’ profit. We do not need the power. It is all for far-off investors’ gain. The other morning, in the barnyard, I discovered two big bunches of overnight mushrooms. They will quickly disappear, but there the analogy ends, because we will not.

To put this in perspective, the line would have to go over or under Route 3, Route 145 (a Scenic Byway), and Route 26 between Colebrook and the Balsams. In its construction along existing rights of way from Groveton south, it would have to cross Route 2 between Lancaster and Jefferson, and route 302, one of the most scenic drives north of the notches. And let’s not forget: Because the towers would be so tall, existing rights of way would have to be drastically cleared, meaning that adjoining landowners accustomed to “their” woods and back yards would get a rude awaken- grams.

THE MEREDITH NEWS Just For Fun THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2013 B15 Business THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2013 B16 THE MEREDITH NEWS A Cut Above Landscaping donates new landscaping to Laconia ice Arena’s Capital Campaign LACONIA — Ken Yorston, owner of A Cut Above Landscaping (Meredith), recently helped the Laconia Ice Arena beautify its entrance with a generous donation of a new walkway design and installation. According to Yorston, the donation was his com- pany’s “thank-you to the ice arena for providing such a positive environment for his daughter, and all the other youth that participate in programs at the arena.” In addition, Yorston stated “I wasn’t really in a position to contribute fi- nancially, but after talking with arena manager Will Fay, I found out there absolutely was a way to support the arena. It was my honor, and I would encourage fellow business people in our area to find similar ways to give back to our community, and to support this un- dertaking at the arena.” Other local businesses who supported the project were Brian Gilbert at Gilbert Block, who donated the block and other materials, as well as Dave Rotonnelli at Appletree Nursery who donated the plants. A Cut Above’s crew was Rob Powell, Josh Latulippe, and Cam Decormier. The landscaping project is part of a larger capital campaign project that has been underway since the spring of 2012. “We’re about half way to our goal of $250,000. Our hope is to reach that by about this time next year,” Fay said, adding that the campaign is still in need of financial donations, pledges, and sponsorships, as well as donations of materials for improvements and volunteers willing to give their time. “There are always ways people can help. The utility bills here are astronomical, to say the least,” added Fay, who also pointed out that the refrigeration equipment at the rink is roughly 20 years old. “We have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but I am confident we will get things done. Just as we did when we built the arena, we will work hard to get the community involved in this next phase. We are continuing to reach out to community leaders, banks, and grant programs to help us accomplish our goals,” he said. The Laconia Ice Arena “think rink for kids” Plan provides for improved energy efficiency upgrades, updated refrigeration equipment, as well as reduced fees for the youth & community. Contributions can be made in the following ways; cash, corporate sponsorship, grant money or matching funds. Labor, pledges and estate planning is also encouraged. Financial commitments will be made public, but should donor’s choose to remain anonymous we would honor your wishes. For more information, or to help, contact Will Fay, 528-0789 or info@laconiaicearena. com. Buckle Up! Seatbelts save lives.
