Energy company looking at Timco site
BY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
BARNSTEAD — There
was a feeling of excitement
in the air at Town Hall on
April 3, as representatives
from Sanco Energy, LLC, an
Illinois-based green energy
company, appeared before
the planning board for a consultation on their proposal to
turn the long-dormant Tim-

park.
Timco, Inc. operated for
decades as one of New England’s largest white pine
sawmills, employing more
than 100 local residents, until pressure from foreign
competitors forced the company to shut down in 2003.
Alton resident Greg True,
Sanco’s President of Forest
Products and a former Timco employee, opened his
presentation by offering the
board some background on
Sanco and its products.
Sanco, he explained, was
founded in 2005 by a group
that included the former
owners of Timco, Inc. The
company, he said, specializes
in green energy products
such as power, cogeneration
of biomass, aquaculture
(fish farming), wood pellets,
greenhouses and clean energy industrial sites, such as
the one being proposed in
Barnstead, which are designed to bring industries into town and generate jobs
and revenue.
Sanco, he said, recently
signed a letter of intent to
purchase the 153-acre site

New fire station addition plans draw praise
BY GIGI GIAMBANCO
Contributing Writer
NEW DURHAM — After
hearing from Deputy Fire
Chief Peter Varney about
the finished plans for the fire
station addition at the March
31 board of selectmen meeting, Police Chief Shawn
Bernier said the plans were
the best he had seen. According to Varney the plans,
which he created himself, addressed Bernier's concern of
parking and Road Agent
Mark Fuller's concerns of
snow removal. Available
parking for the police station
will remain as it is, and the
Highway Department will be
able to continue moving
snow to the place it has been
moving it so far.
The rectangular-shaped
addition will be attached to
the fire station, but separated by a wall. It will be comprised of two floors, and the
footprint will be 58 feet long
and 28 feet wide, or 1,624
square feet.
The ceiling height of the
first floor will be 10 feet,

The roofline will match
the roofline of the main fire
station.
Looking at the fire station
from Main Street, the addition will be located behind
the station. From this angle,
the right side will be lined up
with the adjoining side of the
fire station. The left side,
however, does not meet with
the left side of the fire station, as it is smaller than the
station.
A public entrance will be
located at the left side and
there will be a fire exit on the
right side. The largest section of the first floor will be
comprised of a classroom.
On the far right side there
will be a kitchen, and two
bathrooms, one with a shower, will be connected to the
kitchen.
Aside from the addition,
there will also be work done
to the station, but no space
will be added to it. The exist-
ing business entrance of the
station, located in the front,
right corner will be renovated. An office for the fire chief,
a receptionist office, an enlarged communication room
and a bathroom with a shower will be part of the changes
built into that section.

Alton residents react to court’s
decision on Correia case
BY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
ALTON — Town Hall was
packed during Monday
night’s selectmen’s meeting
with residents eager to voice
their reactions to the recent
decision by a Belknap County Superior Court judge to reverse the termination of former Alton Police Lt. Ed Correia.
Judge Larry Smukler’s
ruling on Correia’s appeal,
which was released to the
public on March 25, found
that the selectmen who
presided over Correia’s employment hearing in March
of last year violated the provisions of RSA 43:7 by not appointing replacements for
former Selectmen Cris
Blackstone and Pete Shibley,
who recused themselves due
to personal biases against
Correia.
Smukler found a number
of other procedural violations, as well, including what
he deemed “impermissible
comingling of functions” on
the part of Town Attorney
James Sessler, and remanded the matter back to the
town for another hearing.
Resident Bob Longabaugh
said that with the board having met for two largely nonpublic work sessions last
week, he assumed they had
already made their decision
on how to proceed.
The first option, he said,
would be to appeal Smukler’s

By 2009, True explained,
Sanco hopes to have the cogeneration plant back online
and powering a “closed-loop”
facility including an aquaculture farm with a capacity
of 2,250 tons of tilapia per
year and a wood pellet facility with a capacity of 90,000 to
320,000 tons per year.
Closed-loop
facilities,
which True said are current-
ly in widespread use in Scandanavia, use bypass energy
such as steam, heat and stack
gasses to power their operations, with any unused energy from one source feeding
the next.
In addition to 30,000
square feet of new construction, True explained, Sanco’s
proposal includes several upgrades to the existing facility, such as pollution control

Keep The Baysider coming
Look for the postcard in this week’s paper
MEREDITH — The
Baysider has recently
launched a campaign for
your signatures to prove to
the post office that people
read the paper. So far, 15 percent of the paper’s recipients have responded.
“Cheaper postage became available last fall to
free newsweeklies who
could prove readers want
their paper,” explained Rich
Piatt, publisher.
“So, we are asking readers to ask for the paper, by
signing a requester card or
coupon,” he explained. “It’s
still free to anyone who asks,
but you have to ask.” The
coupon has run in the paper
and on the front page in past
weeks. This week a post
card has been inserted.
Postal regulations stipulate for every signature card
received, the newspaper can
be mailed to two addresses
in town. The company plans
to do just that.
“If we get 50 percent of
the town to send in a card,
then all 100 percent of the
addresses will continue to
be mailed as always,” Piatt
explained. “I don’t know
how hard it will be to get to
the magic halfway mark,
but it makes good common
sense anyway to green out
some
unread
copies.
They’re not helping our
towns or our advertisers. ”
Since launching the The
Baysider in April 2005, it has
been mailed free to every
home every week, about
6,300 addresses.
In a surprising and sudden move Aug. 30, 2007, the
United States Postal System
began offering discounted
postage to free news weeklies – reviving an obscure
classification of mail called
“controlled circulation,”
which had not been used
pervasively in the periodical trades for a quarter century or more. Any publication applying for the special
permit must carry at least
25 percent local news content in its pages. The
Baysider traditionally is 50
percent news and 50 percent
advertising.
The signature collection
campaign began two weeks
ago, and the Niagara of early returns has caused a happy bedlam around the newspaper office. “We are
buried,” Piatt said. All the
cards have to be typed into a
computer data base and alphabetized to ready-up the
requester list for verification by a team of United
States Postal Auditors later
this year.
“People in this area could
not be more gracious.” Hundreds of signature cards
have “we love the paper”
scrawled in the margins.
One lady wrote “thank you
for this lovely gift.”
“I don’t know of any
news medium in America
that gleans these kinds of
love notes from its audience,” Piatt said. Can you
see this happening at the
N.Y. Times or at a television
network? “It’s just amazing
and very touching. All of us
love publishing the paper
here.”

Barnstead Selectman Jack O’Neil tenders his resignation

Brett Tiede.
According to Tiede the police department’s answering
machine says that their
working hours are Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Tiede also went on to say
that during the previous
evening there was a “very serious incident” in which a police officer was not available.
Tiede said that there were
some snowmobiles riding
near where his neighbor had
recently had her windows
broken out of her truck.
These snowmobiles appeared to be “checking everything out.”
According to Tiede and
Thouroughgood, they followed these riders to the ballfield where they argued with
them for 20 minutes after
calling the police department
and no police officer ever
showed up.
“You are going to have
some lawsuits in this town if
this keeps up. I’ve had
enough,” said Tiede.
Preston asked Tiede to put
the incident in writing and to
make sure it was detailed.
“I’ll see this is dealt with,”
said
Selectman
James
Barnard.
Summer resident Bruce
Geleas said he also had problems with the police department. He said that last August his house was broken in-
to, but he was not able to
prove it to his insurance company because the police department would not give him
a copy of the police report.
“They arrested somebody
wearing my clothes, but say
they can’t put him in my
house,” said Geleas.
He went on to say that
since August he has been
“begging” for a police report
to give to his insurance company. He also pointed out that
he lives in Boston and had to
drive two hours to be at this
meeting.
The selectmen questioned
if the case was still under
prosecution and if the police
department had recovered
Geleas’s missing items.
“You are missing the
point. I want a piece of paper
to give to my insurance company to prove my house was
broken into,” said Geleas.
Foundation problems
Geleas pointed out that the
issues with the police department were not the reason he drove up from Boston
for this meeting. He had
scheduled an appointment
with the selectmen because
of another problem he was
facing. According to Geleas,
the house he had built in
Barnstead has a faulty foundation and he wanted to
know how it was able to pass
inspection.

Richardson stated that he
sees a lot of Gray’s foundations, but that doesn’t mean
he “relaxes” on the inspections of his work. He went on
to say that to his knowledge,
Gray usually puts rebar in
the foundation and if he
failed to do so in this case he
doesn’t know why.
The selectmen had Geleas

they would have the town assessor look at his request and

was at the meeting and ready
to answer Geleas. According
to Richardson he was never
called for an inspection of
the foundation. He said he
had driven by and saw it was
being done, but had never received a call to inspect it.
“I got a permit that said
okay to put a house on the
foundation,” replied Geleas.
“Where do you think our
responsibility is?” Barnard
questioned Geleas.
“At this point I have to
make repairs to my house. I
have a foundation that is
falling apart. At this point
I’m looking for an abatement
on my taxes because of what
I’m going through now,”
replied Geleas.
The selectmen questioned
Geleas about the builder’s
role in the faulty foundation.
Geleas said that the builder,
D.R. Gray, claims as long as
the foundation passed inspection, he is in the clear.
“He didn’t pass. We are
telling you this,” reiterated
Barnard. “The point is that
Mr. Gray is telling you that
the house passed inspection,
but it did not. If Mr. Gray didn’t have a passing inspection
then what he told you is incorrect,” said Barnard.
In further discussions of
this issue Richardson told

BARNSTEAD — The first
order of business at the
Barnstead Board of Selectmen’s meeting on April 1 was
some comments from Selectman Jack O’Neil, followed by
his resignation. O’Neil was
upset with what he regarded
as interference with the food
pantry. According to O’Neil
people were going “behind
his back” and causing problems for him. O’Neil stated
that due to these problems he
would be resigning from the

April 30.
“I would like to keep the
food pantry, but if not I will

they feel about it,” stated
O’Neil

or the public,” continued
O’Neil.
He went on to say, “I’m sorry I ran for a second term. I

my vacation time off work or
make improper use of 911 to

Parsons said that the
“busy season” is coming and
she questioned if the town
has enough police officers to
deal with it.
In talking about Police
Chief Ken Borgia, Parsons
asked the board, “Why hire
this man if you are not going
to let him run the department?”
Selectman Andy Houle responded to Parsons by telling
her that the police department was currently in the
process of hiring now.
Board Chairman Gordon
Preston pointed out that at
Town Meeting the town “cut
back on lots of things” like
returning the two new highway trucks, but the town
“didn’t add anything like

“This year is going to be
extremely tight,” said Preston.
Parsons reiterated that
she had a non-emergency issue with the police department and that their doors are
only open from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m. (the same hours she is at
work) so she had to use vacation time or use 911 to request
an officer come speak to her.
“There is no coverage at

“Interim” no more: Fitzpatrick takes the reins at PMHS
BY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
ALTON — For James Fitzpatrick, the newly promoted
Principal of Prospect Mountain High School, the past few
months have largely been a
blur.
Since taking over in an interim capacity from former
Principal Russell Holden in
June, and guiding the school
through a whirlwind budget
season,
Fitzpatrick
explained during an interview
on April 2 that he has had little time to reflect on the unexpected journey that culminated on March 4 with the
JMA board’s decision to offer
him a two-year contract as
the school’s new full-time administrator.
A native of western Massachusetts and graduate of
Keene State, Fitzpatrick began his career in education
(the second career choice
that he said later became a
passion) as a Social Studies
teacher at Dover High School
in 2000.
During his sixth year at
Dover High, he was appointed to a part-time position as
an administrator in charge
of discipline in addition to
his regular teaching duties.
Seeking a change of
scenery and an opportunity
for growth, Fitzpatrick applied later that year for two
assistant principal positions,
one at Prospect Mountain
and one in Maine, ultimately
choosing Prospect Moun-
tain, where he said Holden
took him under his wing, and
acted as a mentor.
When Holden brought
him into the office last year
and broke the news of his decision to leave, Fitzpatrick
said, “my heart dropped.”
While he felt “overwhelmed and lost” at the idea
of losing Holden’s guiding
hand, Fitzpatrick said he realized when Holden suggested that he needed to “seriously consider stepping up to
the plate” and taking over
that it would be in the best interests of the students and
the school community for
him to rise to the challenge,
and try to ease the transition
to a new administration.
“Whatever I had to do to
ease that transition, I knew I
had to,” he said. “It was a nobrainer … do or die.
“I knew the shoes I was filling from the outset … but
honestly, I truly did not have
time to think about it,” he
added.
Past experience studying
and teaching Economics and
the strong working relationship he formed with Superintendent Paul Bartolomucci and former Business Administrator Amy Ransom, he
said, helped propel him
through a budget season last
year that was unusually accelerated due to Ransom’s
pregnancy.
The school’s faculty also
played a key role in the success of his interim adminis-
BRENDAN BERUBE
tration, he said, adding that
their support and cooperation during and after the
budget process “inspires you
to do your job the best you
can.”
Fitzpatrick also expressed
his appreciation for the efforts of Assistant Principal
John Houlihan, who he said
has provided a much-needed
extra pair of hands.
While being the primary
disciplinarian can sometimes be a thankless job, he
said, Houlihan has been a
“good listener” and has developed a good rapport with
the staff, two character traits
that Fitzpatrick said form a
“big part” of any successful
administration.
The students haven’t had
much to say about the news
of his contract, he said,
adding that he felt that was
an encouraging sign that
things have settled back to
normal, and that their focus
has shifted away from the goings-on at the administrative
level.
Looking ahead
While the school’s new
Technology and Professional
Development plans outline
some specific strategies for
moving Prospect Mountain
forward over the next few
years, Fitzpatrick said, his
overall goal is to “make sure
that we’re doing the best we
can for the kids.”
Although that might
sound like a cliché, he said, it
has opened the door to discussion on a number of issues, such as curriculum
alignment with the elementary schools in Alton and
Barnstead (which he said has
been the focus of monthly
meetings between himself
and Bartolomucci and their
counterparts from both
towns).
The stability of having
full-time administrations in
place at all three schools, he
said, has led to a “fine-tuning” of communication
among administrators who
Barnstead Elementary School fifth graders go snowshoeing
BY FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS
Barnstead Elementary
BARNSTEAD — Have
you ever been snowshoeing?
Neither had we until Mr.
Tufts, our physical education teacher, taught us this
year. We are the fifth grade
students from Barnstead Elementary School, and all
three fifth grades were able
to go to the Silk Farm
Audubon
Center
and
Wildlife Sanctuary in Concord to practice our skills.
Mrs. Stockman's class was
the first class to go on March
11. Mrs. Zink's class went on
Thursday, March 13, and
Mrs. Karpinski's class went
on March 14. Before starting
our walk, we made sure the
buckles on our snowshoes’
straps were on the "outside"
and we snugged our straps
so the shoes wouldn't fall off.
Chaperones accompanied us
as we hiked along the trail
from the center. One chaperone, Mr. Donovan, helped us
learn to snowshoe at school.
He came on all three trips.
Because we were such a
large group, we had words to
let us know when to hike and
when not to hike. "Stop," was
yelled when we needed to
stop. "Peanut butter" was
yelled when it was time to go.
We went on the Great Turkey
Trail through a mixed hardwood forest. We followed yellow markers for about 25
minutes before reaching
Great Turkey Pond, where
we learned a little about the
history of the pond. We also
learned about safety. Do you
know what to do if someone
gets hurt on the trail? We do.
After a group picture was
taken, we headed back to the
McLane Center. We walked
through oak woodlands. On

the way back, "Stop" was
called frequently so to keep
the entire class of 25 students
and teachers together, because snowshoes kept slipping off. We were on the trail
for about another half hour.
After our hike we had time to
explore the center. It is a
green building. This means
it is environmentally friendly. There are several rooms
with stuffed animals, and
there is an outdoor exhibit of
injured birds. We especially
liked the bald eagle, peregrine falcon, barred and
screech owls and the redtailed hawk. We had a wonderful time on this field trip.
If you have never been snowshoeing we recommend you
try it. Then if someone asks,
"Have you ever been snowshoeing?" you can say, "Yes!"

than ever before in the education of local students.
Another long-term goal,
he said, is to clean up the
JMA’s policy book, which
contains a number of outdated policies that the administration and the board
will need to revisit over the
next few years.
While his focus as Interim
Principal, he said, was to
maintain the status quo with
only minimal changes when
necessary, his new full-time
status will provide him with
more opportunities to look
at bigger projects.
“Russ [Holden] set up a

said, adding that those who

SECTION A, PAGE 4
A good start
The news on our front page this week could be
pretty good news for the residents of Barnstead.
An Illinois-based green energy company is interested in purchasing the former Timco property in
Barnstead and turning it into an industrial park
specializing in “green” products, or products that
are considered eco-friendly.
The Barnstead selectmen and residents have
gone over and over countless times how to attract
businesses to town to help expand the tax base and
as we continue to plod through tough economic
times, a business has fallen right into the laps of
the townspeople.
While we know that a business base is not going
to completely rescue the taxpayers of Barnstead
from their heavy burden, we also know that it
can’t hurt. And if one business has the faith to
move into town, who’s to say that others won’t follow. We are happy that Sanco Energy has chosen
Barnstead as a place that they want to do business
and hope that the town proves hospitable to them
and other businesses that may follow.
However, some members of the planning board
were chastised by residents at the meeting where
this proposal was first brought up because they
were asking too many questions.
In this regard, we have to side with the planning
board. We know Barnstead needs the business,
there’s no questions asked. Selectmen and other
officials have been coming up with numerous
ways to attract businesses and we hope they are
successful.
It is the planning board’s job, however, to make
sure that things are done right, the rules are followed and the people of Barnstead aren’t stuck
with something they don’t want. The best way to
make sure all of those things happen is by asking
questions. The planning board is simply doing its
job by making sure that all the rules are followed.
That’s what the board members are elected for and
we applaud them for doing their job.
We know, that if everything is done correctly, the
planning board and all other town bodies that
need to approve these plans, will give Sanco
Energy the green light. But they shouldn’t just
give them the go-ahead without doing due diligence. That would be a dis-service to the town of
Barnstead and its residents.
Thanks, Jack
Our page two story on the Barnstead selectmen’s
meeting of April 1 brings the sad news that
Selectman Jack O’Neil will be resigning at the end
of the month.
We want to thank O’Neil for his years of service
to the town, not only as a selectman, but also as the
operator of the local food pantry. Our impression
of him is of a person who cares about the people of
Barnstead and the town in general and we believe
the town will indeed miss him when he steps down
from his selectmen’s seat.
Barnstead is facing a lot of issues, as the town
deals with rising taxes and space issues at the elementary school that likely won’t go away. We hope
that O’Neil’s legacy continues on within the town
and we hope he continues to be involved in town
government in one way or the other.

LETTERS
TO THE
■
EDITOR
Bunker barking up the wrong tree
To the Editor:
There should be serious consideration to the comments issued forth by
Bill Bunker from Barnstead (letters to
the editor, April 3). Mr. Bunker is barking up the wrong tree in his fear of socialist doctrine being at the base of efforts within the town to remove our water from private, corporate control and
profit.
Perhaps his viewpoint might have
been different had he attended one of
the dozens of public meetings which we
have had since the passage of Town
Meeting 2005’s Warrant Article to protect the groundwater.
When the Ordinance passed in 2006,
it was due to the support and understanding of the community and the selectmen, as well as our state represen-
tative, James Pilliod. The amendments
had been discussed at many public
meetings for the past two years and were
supported by all but one of the selectmen and were not some “Trojan horse
presented at a meeting of dwindling attendance numbers.”
The communities passing these ordinances do so to protect their homes and
families. The work began in rural, republican, conservative townships in
Pennsylvania, not in some leftist, socialist, commune.
Mr. Bunker seems to be saying that
the people of Barnstead are too stupid
to understand what they voted for. I
must protest to say that, on the contrary,
the people of Barnstead have taken
quite seriously their patriotic duty to
the institution of government “for the
common benefit, protection and security of the whole community, and not for
the private interest of any class of
men.” (NH State Constitution, Part
First, Article 10.) People voted for
democracy rather than corporate imperialism.
To quote Andrew Jackson, "Unless
you become more watchful in your
States and check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges
you will in the end find that the most important powers of Government have
been given or bartered away, and the
control of your dearest interests have
been passed into the hands of these corporations." --President Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address, March 4, 1837.

Barnstead
Disgusted at what went down March 22
To the Editor:
Words cannot begin to describe the
disappointment and frustration I felt after leaving the school district meeting
on March 22…and still feel today. Truthfully, the teacher contract not passing
has only a little to do with the feelings I
have. What hurts most is the lingering
effect of statements made by residents
of this town who made it clear that
teachers in Barnstead are neither valued nor appreciated, and then the
rounds of applause that ensued from
the crowd. The few brave people who
spoke in support of teachers deserve a
huge thanks, for they truly went against
the mob mentality that filled the room
that day.
Some implied that teachers “only
work 36 weeks a year.” Yes, that’s what
the contract states teachers are obligated to work, 7:25 a.m.-3:10 p.m. for 185
days. However, having been a teacher
for many years, I can tell you that no
teacher I’ve ever worked with only
works 36 weeks a year. True, that is what
they’re paid to do, and at some point,
maybe it will come to teachers sticking
to that to make a point, but I can guarantee you that no teacher at BES is done
at the end of their contracted day. In-
stead, you’ll see teachers leaving much
later with their bags and arms loaded
full of papers to correct at home, lesson
plans for the upcoming week, or projects to grade. On a daily basis, teachers
give up countless hours with their own
families at home to complete the teaching responsibilities they can’t feasibly
get done in a regular school day. They
selflessly volunteer their time to coordinate and host family events like the
very popular Math Night, the winter
and spring concerts; they chaperone
dances and run class fundraisers. The
list of what teachers do above and beyond what their contract asks of them
is staggering, but they do it because they
love the children, they love what they
do, and because they’re committed to
being good teachers. This town should
be thanking them over and over again,
yet I’m quite sure “thanks!” is not what
they heard from the vast majority on
March 22.
I’d like to think that the meeting just
came at a bad time, during a poor economy, on the day before Easter while people were traveling, at the same time the
school expansion was being proposed.
Yet, voters who were there heard that it
was an average of $5 a month the teach-
ers asked for in the proposed contract.
Does the majority of the town truly feel
that teachers aren’t worth that much?
Then, after the voters made it clear that
an average of $62 a year was too much
to spend on educating our children, the
teachers asked for the opportunity to
renegotiate a more agreeable contract,
to come back to the town at a later date.
Again, the majority voted against it!
Now, as a result of those articles failing,
teachers at BES have no contract …
which means no cost of living increase
at all; if healthcare costs go up, it will
actually mean a decrease in pay for
Barnstead teachers. I actually overheard some folks chuckling about that
in side-bar conversations after the meeting…did they feel good about that?
It’s hard to imagine what we would
do without the wonderful teachers who
currently teach at BES…hopefully, in
the future, the voters of this town that
value quality education will support
our teachers by making their voices
heard loud and clear each and every
time the opportunity presents itself.

Go back to the 50s Friday at New Durham Library
NEW DURHAM — New
Durham Public Library Director Max Crowe reported
that the facility is ready for its
excursion into the literary
past. Poetry Night, a recreation of a 1950s coffeehouse,
is slated for tomorrow night,
April 11, beginning at 7 p.m.
Library volunteers have
adorned the walls with abstract art and library staff are
standing at the ready armed
with café tables and bongo
drums.
The evening will feature a
staged presentation of poetry
with music, and a band, Bob
Jr. and the Martini Gardeners, to jam under community
members reading poems.
“The turn-out of participants
has been fantastic,” Crowe
noted. “Plus, we’re expecting
some people in the audience
to get inspired as the evening
goes on and take to the stage
themselves.”
Beatnik performers Barbara Reed, Donna Swett, Tom
Swett, Cathy Allyn, David Allyn, Ron Gehl, Ann Kelley and
Bob Kelley will lead off the
evening with their production of “Versesimilitude:
Beatniks and Beyond,” including the works of those
such as Ferlinghetti, cummings, Frost, Sandburg and
Dickenson. Jazz, 50s music
and more modern compositions will round out the event.
Crowe
listed
Poetry
Night’s entertainment. “Free
food and coffee, great music, a
performance, friends and
neighbors at the mic, and a
chance to be a Beatnik. You
couldn’t ask for more.”
Anything else is Dullsville.

New Durham student among winners in Stetson writing contest
BY ELISSA PAQUETTE
Staff Writer
WOLFEBORO — Mary
Stetson has created a living
memorial to her son, Mark,
who was shot and killed in
September 2006 at the age of
24, over a religious argument. Each year, she sponsors a writing contest in January on the Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr.’s birthday,
which her son shares.
Years ago, when Mark
was 11, he wrote a winning
poem, titled “Equal Rights
Instead of Fights” for a writing contest. His desire for a
peaceful world of tolerance
lives on when students are
given the opportunity to express themselves on the topic of diversity. “The contest
is all about respect for differences, whether physical,
economic, or religious,” says
Mary.
The prizes are possible
through a fund set up by the
generosity of Paul and Roxanne O’Connor, past winners of the Wolfeboro Area
Children’s Center’s annual
raffle. They gave $5,000 of
their prize money to create
this sustainable fund, a surprise to Stetson, who works
at the center.
This year’s 74 contestants
came from Crescent Lake Elementary School, Mrs.
Danais’ seventh grade classes at Kingswood Regional
Middle
School,
Barb
Thomas’ classroom at Brewster Academy, Tuftonboro
Central School, and from a
Littleton, Mass. fifth grader.
Stetson invited friends of
her son, coworkers, family
members and high school
students, 20 judges in all, to
read the entries together.
“They were such a pleasure
to read,” says Stetson. “We
all took notes, gave points,
and shared our thoughts.”
Julia-Rose Miller, a Crescent Lake sixth grader, and
Brian Topliffe, a seventh
grader from New Durham,
each won a $250 savings
bond. Samantha Bickerton,
a Tuftonboro Central School
fourth grader, and Megan
Tierney, a seventh grader
from Wolfeboro, received
honorable mention and $25
gift certificates from Rita
Weiss, owner of Details, a local shop. Stetson provided
honorable mention gifts also
for fifth grader Amanda
Sager of Littleton, Mass.,
and Mariah Ford, a seventh
grader from Ossipee. Each
entrant received a certificate
from Stetson.
Teacher Anne Corson, of
Crescent Lake Elementary,
is grateful for the contest.
“It is important for young
people to have an audience.
This was an opportunity for
my students to synthesize
concepts they’ve learned all
year long.”
Karla Denais said she was
impressed with the mature
ALTON SCHOOL
Lunch Menu
thinking revealed
by her students.
The contest came
at the end of a unit
of historical nonfiction, in which
students
read
books on the Holocaust, the Trail of
Tears, and the Civil Rights movement.
Stetson has assembled binders of
all the entries and
hopes eventually
to create a book. A
copy is available at
the
Wolfeboro
Public Library for
anyone who would
like to read this
year’s entries.

Student science projects spotlighted at JMA meeting
BY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
ALTON
—
Student
achievements took center
stage at the Prospect Mountain High School JMA
board’s April 1 meeting, as a
pair of Advanced Placement
(AP) Biology students shared
the research projects they recently brought to a state exposition.
Science teacher Vicky
Sweezy introduced two of
her AP students, Shirley
Ladd and Meagan DiVito, explaining that each was as-
signed an epidemiological
topic to research last quarter,
and asked to produce an abstract, journal-style paper.
Four AP students took
their projects to the fifth annual New Hampshire Science and Engineering Exposition at New Hampshire
Technical Institute in Concord on March 13, Sweezy
added.
Ladd, whose report was titled “Addiction to addiction:
The truth about Methadone
treatment,” explained to the
board that Methadone was
BRENDAN BERUBE ■
MEAGAN DiVITO displays a diagram of a human brain exposed to radiation from cell phone frequencies during a presentation to the Prospect
Mountain High School JMA board on April 1.
developed during World War
II as a painkiller administered to wounded soldiers.
Researchers at that time,
she said, also believed that
the drug could ease the physical and psychological distress caused by heroin withdrawal, and began prescribing it to heroin addicts.
Methadone, however, ultimately resulted in more
deaths than heroin, Ladd
said.
The high rate of overdose
associated with Methadone,
she added, stems from the
fact that the drug can remain
active in an addict’s system
for a period of 36 to 91 hours,
leading the person to consume more of it under the
mistaken impression that
the effects have worn off.
The drug that was initially designed to ease the threeto-five-day cycle of heroin
with-drawal, Ladd said, can
itself leave former addicts in
a state of agony from withdrawal for a period of two to
three weeks.
Cell phones: hazardous
to your health?
DiVito, who won first
place in the Pharmaceutical/Toxicology division with
her presentation on “The
Carcinogenicity of Radiofrequencies Emitted by Cellular
Phones,” explained that although not a lot of data exists on the connection between cell phones and brain
tumors (due to the fact that
cell phones have only been in
widespread use for the past
20 years), there is a great deal
of circumstantial evidence
linking cell phone usage to
certain types of cancer, male
infertility and Alzheimer’s.
While most research on
the topic is currently being
conducted in Europe, where
cell phones aren’t quite as big
a business as they have become in the U.S., DiVito said,
Fox News recently aired a
story indicating that cell
phone usage could potentially be twice as deadly as cigarette smoke because of the
level of radiation emitted by
cell phone frequencies (half
the power of a microwave in
some cases).
Explaining that she surveyed students on their
thoughts about cell phone usage as part of her study, DiVito said she was surprised at
the number of students who
said that knowing there was
a link between cell phones
and cancer would not alter
their phone habits.
Ultimately, she said, more
research needs to be done on
the topic.
Goossens named
chairwoman
In a unanimous vote, Alton member Lynda Goossens
was appointed as the new
chairwoman of the board,
with former chairman Keith
Couch agreeing to serve as
vice chair.
Graduation date
set … for now
Principal James Fitzpatrick announced that with
Thursday, June 12, looking to
be the 175th day of school required for seniors, this year’s
graduation ceremony has
been scheduled to take place
Friday, June 13.
It is not clear yet when the
ceremony will start, he said,
adding that administrators
are aiming for a start time of
either 5:30 or 6:30 p.m.
While hopes are high for
an outdoor ceremony this
year, he said, the gymnasium
is being eyed as the best alternative venue in the event
of inclement weather.
The school’s annual Academic Night, which was postponed last month due to a
snowstorm,
has
been
rescheduled to tonight,
Thursday, April 10, with the
band and chorus performing
in the auditorium from 6 to 7
p.m., followed by an open
house from 7:15 to 8:15 p.m.
Making indoor
track official
A proposal to sanction indoor track as an official
school sport prompted some
board members to raise concerns about the current status of the program, and liability issues.
Explaining that she had
heard rumors about team
members driving themselves
back and forth to competitions, and about the coach
paying entrance fees out of
his own pocket, board member Terri Noyes suggested
that a committee be formed
to reexamine the process by
which club sports become
board-sanctioned sports.
Noyes also asked if physicals and waivers were required for participation in
club sports, expressing concerns about liability in the
event of a student injury.
DiVito, a member of the
track team, explained that
each member was asked to
sign a waiver form last
season.
The board voted 9-1 to recognize indoor track as an official sport, and to pay a
$1,700 stipend to the coach for
this year’s winter season.
Odds and ends
In other business, the
board voted to accept the
third of four foreign exchange students for the 200809 school year; accepted a donation of 14 Shaker footstool
kits for the Family and Consumer Science program; approved a proposed History
Club field trip to Pennsylvania and Virginia during
April vacation; and approved
a list of nominations for fall
coaches.
Next meeting
The board’s next meeting
has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 15, at 6:30 p.m. in
the high school media center.

THE BAYSIDER, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2008
“Invisible Man” revealed: Author shares the story behind latest novel
BY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
NEW DURHAM — For Rita Schiano, the phrase “truth
is stranger than fiction” is
more than just an old saying
… it is quite literally the story of her life.
In Schiano’s latest novel,
“Painting the Invisible Man,”
a keying error made on a computer leads the main character, Anna Matteo, on a
heartwrenching
personal
journey into her family’s hidden past, a journey that
abounds with gangland murders, dangerous hitmen and
long-buried family secrets.
The story behind the book,
Schiano said during an appearance at Fox Tale Books in
New Durham on April 4, is
filled with just as many twists
and turns as the novel itself.
And as it does for Anna,
Schiano’s story begins with
her hitting the wrong key.
A native of Syracuse, N.Y.
who now resides in Sturbridge,
Mass.,
Schiano
worked for years as a freelance writer for various
clients.
Shortly after the terrorist
attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, a
Wilmington,
Mass.-based
company called Kids’ Terrain
contacted Schiano to request
a children’s song commemorating the lives lost during the
attacks. Schiano completed
the song, “Tiny Acts of Kindness,” with the help of a fellow musician, who later appeared at a children’s festival
in upstate New York, near
Syracuse.
While browsing through
the archives of the Syracuse
Post-Standard in search of an
article about the festival for
her client, Schiano accidentally clicked on the option to
purchase 10 re-printed articles for $12.95, rather than one
for $2.95.
Not wanting to go through
the hassle of trying to change
her order, she began typing in
the names of old friends and
family members from her
hometown to see what came
up.
After typing in her deceased father’s name, Al,
Schiano found a total of 37 articles from the 1990s referencing him.
That would not have been
unusual, she said, if it weren’t
for the fact that Al was murdered in 1976.
The articles that Schiano
discovered chronicled the
case of a mob enforcer who
was caught on tape by the FBI
confessing to his participation in her father’s murder.
The enforcer, she said, was
tried twice, with the first tri-
al ending in a hung jury, and
the second in an acquittal.
“I knew instinctively that
trouble was brewing inside,”
she said, explaining that with
her mother dead, as well, and
her brother (who was also on
the hit list the night Al was
killed) unwilling to talk about
what had happened, she felt
she had no one to turn to.
The only person Schiano
felt comfortable broaching
the subject with was her
cousin, Terry, a situation
which she said presented its
own set of problems because
(unbe-knownst to her at the
time) Terry had married the
enforcer’s defense attorney
years earlier.
While she wasn’t able to
make the connection until
she had read the articles,
Schiano said she had always
felt inexplicably distanced
from Terry’s husband.
BRENDAN BERUBE ■
AUTHOR RITA SCHIANO explains the story behind her latest novel,“Painting the Invisible Man,”during an appearance at Fox Tale Books in New Durham
on April 4.
“I did not know where to
place this man in my life,” she
explained.
Eventually, Terry managed to make it out to Springfield, Mass. for a home show.
Schiano agreed to meet her
there, and revealed what she
had found over dinner that
night, asking if Terry
thought the husband might
allow her to read the trial
transcripts.
During their conversation,
Schiano said, Terry commented on the fact that “Uncle Al” had always seemed
like an “invisible man” to her,
a man that no one, not even
his family, truly knew. Schiano would later return to that
phrase as the inspiration for
the book’s title.
Schiano toyed with the
idea of writing a book about
her experiences for the next
three years, but was reluctant
to start work on it for fear of
reprisals from the enforcer.
When he passed away in
November of 2004, she began
the process of reviewing the
trial transcripts and interviewing some of the key people involved in the case.
What surprised her the
most, she said, were the portraits that emerged, particularly of Al, who surfaced as a
study in contradictions, a
man who deeply loved his
wife, yet kept two separate
mistresses because he found
himself unable to live with
her; a tough, streetwise survivor with ties to the mob who
wept when his wife performed on stage with her violin.
Her research, she said, also revealed a new side to her
mother, a “classy woman”
who was beloved by the community of Syracuse, and bore
her husband’s infidelities
with dignity, going so far as to
call one of his mistresses after his death and give her permission to appear at the funeral, understanding that the
Huckins subdivision nearing approval by B’stead planners
BY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
BARNSTEAD — With the
last remaining issues cleared
up, an 11-lot subdivision proposed by Strafford resident
Lester Huckins at the intersection of Gray Road and
Province Road moved one
step closer to approval at the
planning board’s April 3
meeting.
Project engineer Cory Colwell, of MSC Engineering,
appeared before the board
asking for the resolution of
what he felt were the last two
issues preventing the project
from moving forward.
Recently, he said, MSC applied for a permit from the
state Department of Environmental Services to cross
a stream with a common
driveway between two of the
proposed lots, and also
agreed to replace the proposed box culvert beneath
the driveway with a steel
arch culvert that would be set
into the ground, preserving
the bottom of the stream bed.
The other issue at hand,
Colwell said, was Huckins’
unsuccessful efforts to reach
a compromise with the town
Fire Wards that would have
enabled him to install one cistern on the property, rather
than the two required under
the town’s subdivision regulations.
While he and Huckins felt
that the existing lots, which
were created in the 1980s,
should not be subject to the
current regulations, and that
a single cistern with sprinkler systems mandated in
each home would be a “very
viable alternative,” Colwell
said that in light of the Fire
Wards’ decision, Huckins
would agree to two cisterns if
it would enable the project to
move forward.
Board member Phil Grillo
explained that while the single-cistern proposal may
have looked viable on paper,
the board had no guarantee
that houses would be built
where they were shown on
the plan.
Given the overall size of
the lot, Grillo felt that the requirement of two cisterns
was still minimal.
“We tried everything we
could to meet [Huckins]
halfway on this,” he said,
adding that the board had no
personal objection to sprinkler systems, but chose instead to rely on the opinions
of experts such as the Fire
Wards.
Alternate Jim Fougere
pointed out that the agreement was for Huckins to install one cistern now to cover the first four lots, and put
in the second cistern as the
development expands fur-
ther down the road.
The board voted to continue Huckins’ case one last
time, giving the Fire Wards
time to review and approve
the cistern design.
DVDs come to
the “Boondocks”
The board unanimously
approved a site plan submitted by residents Philip and
Jennifer Slater for Boondock
Video, LLC, a DVD rental
store, which will be located
next door to the future offices
of SAU 86 at the Pine Tree
Storage Facility.
The proposed hours of operation, Philip said, will be
11 a.m. to 9 p.m. MondayThursday; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Friday and Saturday; and 11
a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
The store, he said, will be
open for all major holidays
except Christmas.
Murley, Evans
in charge again
With no challengers,
Chairman Dave Murley and
Vice Chair Bill Evans were
reappointed to their respective positions for another
year.
Next meeting
The board will meet for a
work session on Thursday,
April 17, at 7 p.m. in Town
Hall.
Their next regular meeting has been scheduled for
Thursday, May 1, at 7 p.m., also in Town Hall.

mistress loved him just as
deeply as she had.
Schiano originally intended to write a nonfiction account of her experience. After reading the initial manuscript, however, her best
friend told her that while she
felt it was “good writing,” it
wasn’t “honest,” and didn’t
allow her to truly “feel” the
story.
At that point, Schiano
said, she realized the only
way to approach the book was
to fictionalize the characters
and the story.
Asked how much of the
book was accurate, Schiano
replied that 93 percent of the
information contained in
“Painting the Invisible Man”
was true, including the newspaper articles that Anna discovers.
One of the hardest experiences for her, she said, was
having Anna imagine, as she
did, what must have been going through her father’s mind
as he was picked up, driven to
a secluded area 40 miles outside of Syracuse, shot, and
left there.
“I always wondered what
it was like for him,” she said.
Asked if writing the novel
had given her a sense of closure, Schiano compared the
experience to what French
philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre
called “the essence of being
and becoming,” or discovering one’s own identity
through the experiences of
others.
When she realized that by
leaving Syracuse, she had left
her mother behind to deal
with the emotional turmoil
brought on by the mob enforcer’s trials, Schiano said
she broke down and wept,
sometimes for periods of 30
minutes or longer.
If she had one wish, she
said, it would be to tell her
mother how sorry she was for
leaving her to deal with the
pain of reliving the past
alone.
While “Painting the Invisible Man” recounts a very
personal story, Schiano said,
it deals with universal
themes, such as forgiveness,
atonement and redemption.
“If this book moves someone to pick up the phone and
say I’m sorry, then my job as
a writer is done,” she said.

“I CAN’T TELL YOU WHAT A GOOD KID I HAVE SITTING HERE,” enthuses Sheila Foley, KRHS guidance counselor. “Will you talk to him?” Terry
Stackhouse waits to take the phone to explore an additional, perhaps less expensive, college option.
With college tuitions at an all-time high,
KRHS students study financial options
BY ELISSA PAQUETTE
Staff Writer
WOLFEBORO — “This is
an exciting time around
here,” says Sheila Foley,
guidance
counselor
at
Kingswood Regional High
School. “We have talented
students, they’re getting into
the colleges of their choice,
but the question this year
more than ever is not just,
‘What can we get you into,’
but ‘where is the affordable
school for you?’”
Kingswood seniors and
their families are facing complex choices. Acceptances in
hand, many wait to see
which school can offer the
best financial aid package.
New Hampshire’s budgetary concerns have led to
pricey tuition fees. The cost
for a year at the University of
New Hampshire, including
tuition, fees, room, board,
and miscellaneous fees is
$24,100 for instate students
and $38,000 for out of state
applicants, and the end to the
increases is nowhere in
sight. Private school tuitions
can run as high as $40,000 per
year, and in some cases, even
higher.
While more financial aid
grant money overall is available, the number of students
in need is growing. Therefore, as KRHS guidance
counselor Ryan Whittaker,
says, “There is an increasing
gap between what is offered
and what mom and dad can
pay.”
Interest rates over the last
five to eight years have increased to eight and nine percent, but there is some good
news. Congress responded
recently by lowering the federal loan interest rates to
three and four percent, and
there is the potential for loan
forgiveness for students who

are getting a look, too, as students weigh their options.
A less expensive option is
community college. According to Whittaker, about 25
percent of the class of 2008
will attend a school offering
a two year degree program
that prepares them to enter
the job market with technical training. That percentage
is up from the typical 10 percent of recent years.
This Kingswood trend is
borne out state-wide. NHTI,
Concord’s Community College, is currently at capacity.
The average age of their students has gone down from an
average of around 30 in the
1990s to this past fall’s average of 24.5. Director of Communications Alan Blake
touts the much lower cost
(one semester’s full-time 15
credit load costs $2,910) as
one reason. Others are the
variety of technical fields a
student can enter upon graduation and an increased reciprocity in transferring credits to a four-year institution
should a student wish to continue on.
Plans are under way for a
college fair at Kingswood on
April 30 for students who are
beginning the college application process. No doubt
about it, there are challenging financial times ahead,
but Foley and Whittaker
stand ready to help families
surmount the obstacles.

At the same time, Mark
Rubenstein of UNH’s financial aid office points out that
those positive factors, including income-linked repayment schedules, only apply to Stafford loans. “Private loans have been the
‘growth sector’ in the student
loan market in recent years.”
Rubenstein reports that
New Hampshire is at the high
end of the spectrum with median loan debt for the class of
2007 of around $25,000. He explains that, “with a median
figure, half will be above that
level and half will be below,
and among those who are
above, we see more students
are facing loan debt of
$30,000-$50,000 when they
complete college. That can
translate to monthly payments of between $350 and
$575 per month over a tenyear period.”
Foley says that she and
Whittaker, have had to “get
creative.”
The list of colleges
Kingswood students attend
includes “schools people in
this area may never have
heard of before.” They have
gone further afield to look for
just the right matches of student and college. The closer a
student is to meeting the
needs of an institution, the
more likely the school is to
make an attractive financial
aid offer. Canadian schools

Hannaford security breach leaves debit cardholders on edge
BY ASHLEY RIGAZIO
Carroll County Independent
REGION — After illegal
software placed on Hannaford’s credit card processing system led to an unprecedented security breach,
local banks are urging consumers to take precautions
to prevent becoming a victim
of fraud.
Approximately 4.2 million
credit and debit card numbers used at Hannaford supermarkets were put at risk
between Dec. 7, 2007 and
March 10, resulting in about
1,800 reported cases of fraud.
Only card numbers, no
names or personal information, were exposed in the security breach, which was uncovered on Feb. 27.
It is still unknown
whether Hannaford will be
held liable for the breach, as
its security system was in
compliance with strict credit
card industry standards at
the time the numbers were
stolen. Thieves, using illegal
software installed on the supermarkets’ system, stole the
information as it was transmitted to banks for approval.
Hannaford President and
CEO Ronald C. Hodge apologized to consumers in a letter
on the supermarket’s Web
site: “Hannaford works every
day to deliver value and
offer a reliable, convenient
shopping experience. We are
profoundly sorry the system
attack worked against this
mission. We want you to
know that this event only
serves to strengthen our
commitment to you.” The
company has brought in top
security experts to prevent
further attacks.
Shoppers are encouraged
to scrutinize their bank and
Protect your account
Mark Primeau, president and CEO of Laconia
Savings Bank, recommends that consumers
take the following precautions to avoid fraud and
identity theft:
• Sign up for online
banking, which allows
customers to monitor
their transactions as often
as they like. “The most effective way [to protect
yourself] is to really monitor your transactions,”
said Primeau. “Many people I know both personally
and professionally look at
their online statement two
or three times a month.”
Online banking is secure
and offered by most (if not
all) banks. Track your
transactions more closely
if you think your account
may be at risk.
• Safeguard your debit
card by refusing to share
passwords or pin numbers.
• Receive an annual online credit report. A free,
secure option is www.annualcreditreport.com,
which issues reports from
Equifax, Experian and
TransUnion for free every
12 months.
• Sign-up for credit protection services, which issue fraud alerts and protect against identity theft.
• Never respond to an
online or e-mail request
for personal account information.

credit card statements.
Luckily, if a case of fraud is
discovered, consumers are
largely protected.
At Laconia Savings Bank,
which has local branches in
Gilford and Moultonborough, customers who used
their debit cards at Hannaford were notified within
48 hours of the news and given the opportunity to have
their cards re-issued. President and CEO Mark Primeau
could not disclose how many
customers were affected, but
admitted it was “a large
number” because of Hannaford’s prevalence in the
area. LSB is the largest bank
headquartered in New
Hampshire, serving more
than 30,000 households.
If a customer reports a
fraudulent transaction to the
bank within 30 days of his or
her monthly statement date,
the bank will refund the
charge. The customer then
signs an affidavit, and the
bank investigates the matter
to recover the money. “The
client, as long as they report
it in a timely manner, will
not be held liable,” said
Primeau. The policy “gives
the customers peace of mind
that if there is a fraudulent
transaction… that they are
absolved of any liability.”
However, not one LSB customer has reported a charge
relating to the Hannaford
breach.
“Unfortunately, there are
hackers out there that have
very sophisticated knowledge of technology and are
able to hack into systems like
Hannaford,” said Primeau.
“But to the extent that these
systems become more encrypted… that will work
against people looking to
perpetrate these crimes.
“It’s hard to protect yourself from a hacker type person who takes millions of
numbers,” he continued.
“The best way to protect
against that is to monitor
your account.” Ultimately,
he said, the bank or the merchant will take the financial
hit.
Concerned consumers
are urged to contact their
banks or call the Hannaford
Customer Information Center at (866) 591-4580.

TIMCO: Company will be back before the board for site plan review May 1

noxious emissions through
the use of scrubbers and algae, and remove up to 40 percent of carbon dioxide emissions with algae.
The facility, he said, would
bring 50 to 100 direct jobs into the community, as well as
50 construction jobs, and up
to 150 ancillary jobs for
foresters, loggers and truckers.
Addressing some previous concerns about the site,
True provided the board
with preliminary information on what Sanco would be
looking at in terms of truck
traffic, water consumption,
noise and air quality.
If the wood pellet facility
were to operate at its capacity of 320,000 tons a year, he
said, about 20 trucks a day
would pass through the property, as opposed to 100 a day
at the height of Timco’s success.
While the wells put in by
Timco 30 years ago still exist,
True explained that additional wells would have to be
drilled in order to provide
enough water to the new facility.
With no sawmills running
or logs dropping, True felt
that the noise produced by
the new facility would be
minimal. Steps could also be
taken, he added, to mitigate
what noise there would be.
In response to a board
member’s concerns about
the potential impact of nighttime glow on abutters, True
said steps could be taken to
shield the glow, as well.
Selectmen’s representative Dave Kerr raised concern about the noise from the
turbine, which he compared
to a jet engine idling near his
home 24 hours a day.
True explained that Kerr

desire of the town.
Varney said contractors
he has spoken with have given him a complete price for
the work of $75,000 to $80,000.
They also gave him a time
frame of between six to eight
weeks for the project to be
completed start to finish.
Board Chair Peter Rhoades praised the plan, and told
Varney he had made a lot of
progress within a short
amount of time to design the
project. Selectman Ron Gehl
indicated the project was
ready to go out to bid.
"Looks good," said Town
Administrator April Whittaker.
"This is the best plan I've
seen yet," said Bernier.
After the meeting, Varney
told The Baysider he expected the town to open the bidding process for two weeks
starting Friday, April 11. The
building plans, he added,
were designed to allow contractors who bid on the project to carry out parts of the
construction in different
ways. There are several different ways to build the roof
for example, and some may
cost less than others.
Generator placement
Before hearing the addition plans from Varney, the
board discussed with fire, police and highway department leaders where to put a
generator to service the fire
and police departments. It
may service the Town Hall
in the future.
Rhoades said he hoped the
board would make a decision
soon because, for one, the
question of its location has
been undecided for quite
some time. With department
heads gathered together at
the meeting, he expressed
high hopes for closure in the
matter.
"We have the right people
here tonight," he said.
Gehl recommended it be
located near the fire department. That building gener-
ates the most electricity; so it
would be fiscally responsible
to have the generator closer
to that source, he said.
After the board discussed
the matter but didn't come to
a conclusion, Selectman
David Bickford recommended the board hear about the
addition first.
After the board approved
the addition plans, it decided
the generator should be located on the southwest side
of the addition. Looking toward the department from
Main Street, this placement
would be at the back right
corner of the building.
Finding the
right fire truck
Chief Nelson said the department is looking to purchase its next vehicle new instead of used, which is what
the voters approved funds for
under Warrant Article 4. The
vehicle, a combination
pumper/rescue fire truck,
was to be purchased at a
price of up to $250,000.
Whittaker said it would be
wrong for the vehicle to be
purchased new because the
town would be making a
change that was not approved by voters.
Lieutenant Tom Swett of
the fire department said the
department has been in contact with a truck company
who stated it might be able to
sell the truck with all of the
specifications the department desires for $250,000.
In response to Whittaker's
statement, Swett said the
Warrant article residents
voted on did not actually say
whether the truck would be
new or used.
Rhoades said an exercise
of common sense would be
to buy the original used
truck the voters approved for
less than the original price.

If the price has come down
for the truck in new condition, it would make sense the
used price has also come
down, he said.
Varney said that the truck
with all of the right specifications might not be available used. Swett said getting
the truck new at the full price
approved under the Warrant
may be more expensive, but
there is also a drawback to
getting the truck used.
At the time of Town Meeting, he continued, the department was trying to meet
its needs for a certain price
and the only option seemed
to be a used truck. Now, however, the department may be
able to get something much
better for that price.
While Whittaker and
Bickford maintained their
reserve, Varney assured the
board the prospect for a new
vehicle was "a product" of
the current state of the economy.
The board said it is looking to fill three to five positions for the town's Ethics
Committee. On Monday, the
board had its regularly
scheduled board meeting of
the first Monday of the
month. Its next meeting is
set for April 21 at 7 p.m. in either the town hall or the
town library. The board
meets every first and third
Monday of the month.
had heard the kilns that Timco operated, and not the turbine. He would be surprised,
he said, if the sound of the
turbine was audible outside
the building that houses it.
Board member Nancy
Carr asked what level of education potential employees
would need to have.
True replied that the facility would employ workers
with all levels of education,
from a high school diploma
to a Master’s degree.
The most educated employee on site would be the
steam engineer, he said,
adding that Sanco would
draw from the local workforce.
Carr also asked if Sanco
would preserve an existing
tree farm designation on a
portion of the property.
True explained that the
company’s intent is to maintain the tree farm, which he
said occupies 15 acres at the
rear of the property.
Board member Phil Grillo
asked what time frame Sanco had set for work at the site
to begin.
“Yesterday,” True joked.
True’s son, Eric, added
that with the cogeneration
plant in turn-key condition,
except for the upgrades, work
would begin as soon as pos-

‘What can we do to help

“People, we need a tax

“You have to give up something [in order] to have something.”
Alternate selectmen’s representative Andy Houle assured Tiede that the board
would try to speed the proposal along as much as possible.
“It’s important for us to
start the dialogue [with the
town],” True explained.
“We’re here to tell anyone

“This is something we’ve

True is scheduled to appear before the board for a

Board member Chris
Carazzo asked whether Sanco intended to use 100 percent
green fuel in powering the facility, or whether they intended to use construction
debris for fuel.
True replied that the company has no intention of using construction fuel, which
he said would prevent them
from qualifying for reduced
emissions credits.

Chief
George
“Rusty” Krause explained
that state law now prohibits
the burning of construction

Board member Mike

“We’re here to find out
what we need to do to satisfy
the town’s regulations,” True
replied, adding that a plan
has been prepared.

Supreme Court.
Considering Smukler’s
statement that he found several procedural violations,
however, Longabaugh suggested that if the selectmen
were to appeal, “you’re really asking for it.”
The remaining two options, he said, would be to either carry out the Superior
Court’s order and conduct a
second employment hearing
(in which case, he added,
they would have a long list of
former selectmen to draw
from), or put an end to the situation by reinstating Correia to his former rank.
While the board might
have already chosen to fight
Smukler’s ruling, however
long it takes, because the
town’s insurance company is
footing the legal fees,
Longabaugh said, “we taxpayers will end up paying for
it in the long run” when the
town’s premium starts to
rise.
Questioning the ability of
four out of the five current
board members to render an
impartial decision in the
event of a second hearing,
Longabaugh’s wife, MaryBee, urged the board to ensure that an impartial panel
would preside over any future hearing on the issue.
John Markland, a resident
of Alton who serves as Gilford’s Police Chief, said the
case raised a number of questions in his mind, such as
why former Capt. Chuck Anderson was allowed to resign
with no charges leveled
against him while Correia
was charged with several ac-
cusations of misconduct;
and why Correia was
charged for failing to report
misconduct among his superior officers when another officer, who testified against
Correia at the trial, was promoted after waiting a year to
report the misconduct he
witnessed.
Raymond Howard applauded Selectmen Pat
Fuller and Steve McMahon
for their decision to terminate Correia’s employment
last year.
“We should be careful
what we’re teaching our children here,” he said, pointing
out some of the accusations
against Correia, which included working construction
details when he should have
been on duty as the school resource officer and exhibiting
offensive language and behavior toward residents.
Responding to Howard’s
comments, police department dispatcher Christine
Hughes pointed out that the
double dipping charges
(which Howard described as
theft from the town) were not
one of the specific reasons
for Correia’s termination.
In her experience with
Correia, she added, he never
exhibited any of the behavior witnesses accused him of
during the hearing.
Howard’s wife, Barbara,
who testified during the employment hearing that she
was harassed and intimidated by Correia during a traffic
stop, explained to the board
that she “would not wish that
treatment on any one of
them [Correia’s supporters
in the audience].”
While Correia may be a ba-
sically good person, she said,
good people can sometimes
make bad choices, and behave inappropriately.
Dawn Brooks said her
chief concern was “dragging
something out that doesn’t
need to be dragged out.”
Taking issue with the testimony of some witnesses
during the hearing, who she
said may have had their own
prejudices against Correia or
against police in general,
Brooks said she also had a
“big problem” with some of
the promotions that took
place within Alton’s police
department following the departure of the former command staff.
“All that glitters is not
gold, and you may be surprised,” she said, addressing
the board.
On Monday, Charles
Bauer, the attorney representing the town in its response to Correia’s appeal,
filed a motion to stay the Superior Court’s order pending
an appeal to the state
Supreme Court.
A gift of friendship
Jeanne Ferber, Vice President and co-founder of Access to Ideas, an Alton-based
non-profit organization dedicated to providing children
in remote Russian villages
with an education, announced to the board that Alton was recently chosen as
the recipient of a wroughtiron Bench of Friendship
hand crafted by artisans
from the Ural Mountains in
honor of 200 years of diplomatic ties between the United States and Russia.

Pittsfield Players bring more
comedy to the stage this spring
PITTSFIELD — You've
heard the “Rumors” and now
it's time for you to have “All
This and Moonlight.” It is
very rare that the Pittsfield
Players will offer two come-

romantic comedy, All This and
Moonlight.
dies in one season but after
this winter, they felt the public deserved it. This smartly
written romantic comedy by
Charles R. Johnson is a hilarious tribute to "the one,"
that one love of your life that
you never truly get over. In
Ned Edwards’ case, not only
can he not get over Ellie, but
he just happens to see her
everywhere he goes, namely
because he brings her with
him wherever he goes. Ned
Edwards, played by Doug
Bechtel, is obsessed with Ellie, played by Meggin Dail, so
obsessed that, while Ellie is
3,000 miles away in movie
land, Ned conjures her up in
his mind to help through disastrous blind dates, mid-
night tremors and professional quandaries. While
this is a problem in itself, Ned
finds himself in deeper trouble when this figment of his
imagination takes on a life of
her own to a point where Ned
can't even control her. Ned
can't understand why he
can't find that perfect girl to
replace the memories of Ellie; why the world is not the
way he sees it through his
photographer's lens; why he
can't have “All This and
Moonlight.” The Pittsfield
Players will present “All This
and Moonlight” May 16, 17,
23 and 24. Tickets will be
available soon through the
Pittsfield Players box office,
phone number 435-8852.

Calder of Farms and Barns earns EcoBroker designation
REGION — Terry Calder,
Associate Broker of Farms
and Barns Real Estate, LLC,
serving the Lakes Region, has
earned the EcoBroker Certified® designation, having successfully completed a unique
and informative training program on the energy and environmental issues that affect
real estate transactions.
Calder joins the movement of
professionals pushing the real estate market toward energy-efficient, sustainable, and
healthier design/features in
homes. The “performance
home” movement is getting a
boost thanks to this type of
high quality real estate professional earning the EcoBroker designation. EcoBrokers® throughout the country
are forging this market and
creating competitive advan-
tages for their customers.
With national surveys indicating that 80 percent of consumers consider themselves
“green-minded,” real estate
professionals with the EcoBroker designation are in a
better position to serve the real estate consumer. “I’m always looking for the best
ways to offer my clients the
best value. My EcoBroker
training helps me ensure customer satisfaction, my number one priority,” Calder explains. “From windows to
moisture control to energy
savings, I now have more resources at my disposal to help
my buyers and sellers make
better real estate decisions.
The EcoBroker designation
doesn’t make me an energy
and environmental expert,
but it allows me to better un-

1. Which U.S. President launched the War on Poverty?

4. Under what treaty was the League of Nations
established?
5. A limerick contains how many lines?
derstand the issues and to
convey this understanding to
my buyers and sellers.”
EcoBroker International’s
education and designation
program is designed exclusively for real estate professionals who care about the environment and want to help
their clients benefit from the
energy-efficiency, “green,”
and healthier features of
homes and buildings. EcoBroker provides a complete
curriculum of energy and environmental training to licensed real estate agents. Real estate professionals must
complete the extensive Eco-
Broker curriculum and training and fulfill additional program requirements to become Certified EcoBrokers®.
“Terry is an example of the
quality real estate professional the EcoBroker designation
continues to attract,” explains EcoBroker International’s CEO, Dr. John Beldock. “These real estate professionals are not only distinguishing themselves in a
competitive market place, but
they are really giving back to
the community in very constructive and meaningful
ways. The Lakes Region
needs more contributors like
Terry. The planet and our
grandchildren need them
too.”
Calder explains, “With
EcoBroker training, I have
broadened the range of real
estate opportunities I offer
my clients. Whether the
transaction involves environmental assessment and mitigation (mold, radon, etc.) or
the opportunity to reduce
utility bills, I’m in a position
to help. The real estate industry is changing, and to best
serve my clients I need to understand the newest designs,
technologies and environmental issues. My EcoBroker
Ulmer in New Durham this Saturday
NEW DURHAM — Fox
Tale Books in New Durham
is hosting an appearance by
author Wendy Ulmer on Saturday, April 12, from 12 to 2
p.m. Ulmer will be discussing her new children’s
book, “A Isn’t for Fox: An Isn’t Alphabet,” a book that
has been described as an innovative approach to teaching. The book concept origi-
nated from a writing assignment Ulmer gave to her
freshman English class.
“Some of the kids were
having some difficulty writing with much detail,” Ulmer
said. “So, I asked the class to
come up with three paragraphs to describe who the
people in their stories are, by
who they are not – ‘there goes
Jane who doesn’t like cats
and doesn’t work at the Laundromat,’ and so on,” she said.
“I began to think about how
I could present this to
younger kids, and the rhyme
just started coming to me.”
“A isn’t for box; it isn’t for
Fox
“A is for ants that crawl
over your socks.
“B isn’t for kite; it isn’t for
light
“B is for bats that fly in the
night.”

Projects sought for CEDS committee
REGION — The Lakes Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) Committee recently adopted criteria and a
form to solicit local projects
that help advance the CEDS’
overall goals. Communities
and local organizations in
the Lakes Region are being
asked to identify potential
projects and to submit them
by May 9.
Submitting a project for
inclusion in the CEDS is the
first step in identifying potential funding opportunities under the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Admin-
istration (EDA). While all
projects may not meet subsequent requirements for funding under EDA, the inclusion
of projects in the Lakes Region CEDS may have a positive effect for a project’s possible funding under other
federally
funded
grant
sources, such as USDA/Rural Development, Housing
and Urban Development or
the Department of Labor.
EDA eligible projects include any infrastructure or
construction project that will
ultimately lead to the creation of new jobs. Other projects that may not be eligible
for EDA funding but promote
the economic base of the region by addressing the goals
of the CEDS should also be
submitted.
Anyone having questions
about submitting a project
may contact the Lakes Region Planning Commission
at 279-8171, or any of the following area economic development councils: BCEDC,
524-3057; Franklin Business
and Industrial Development,
934-5508; GCEDC, 744-2393; or
WEDCO, 569-4216.

process and the application,

LACONIA — Getting
Ready for Kindergarten, a
session for parents, will be
held on Wednesday, April 23,
at the Laconia Early Learning Center, 22 Strafford St.,
Unit 4 in Laconia. Hosted by
Lakes Region Child Care Services, a light dinner will be
served at 5:30 p.m., with the
workshop held from 6 to
7:30 p.m.
Presented by Angela
Comeau, Early Learning Literacy Specialist and Parents
As Teachers Consultant,
PIRC, this interactive workshop will help parents understand
"Kindergarten
Readiness" and identify ways
to engage with their children
in order to help them get
ready for kindergarten. This
session teaches family activities that help children develop gross-motor skills, fine
motor skills, language, visual discrimination and memory. All of these skills are presented within the context of
play, everyday tasks and
preparation for school. Parents will explore fun ways to
help children learn and discover ideas for simple, handson activities to do together at
home.
Advance registration is
required to attend, as space
is limited. To register or

Snow doesn’t keep track team from opening
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
ALTON — Despite the fact
that the snow still covers most
of the ground near the track
at Prospect Mountain High
School, the school’s track
team still planned on starting
its season on time after deadline Tuesday.
“We are hoping to have
running events on Tuesday,”
said coach Kristi Hikel. “We
figure they’d (other teams) appreciate any surface.”
The Timber Wolves themselves have only been on the
track on a limited basis, using
about 100 meters and the athletes have been using a broom
as they try to clear off enough
space to use.
And while the late winter
has made it tough to figure out
just what is out there for talent on the team, Hikel and fellow coach John Tuttle do
know what to expect from
many of the regular contributors from last year and the
years past.
The girls’ team has a number of runners with great
speed. Hikel notes that in
practices she has seven girls
who have been running
around 15.2 seconds for the
100 meters on the roads.
“It’s a good problem to
have,” she said of all the ap-
parent speed in Timber Wolf
nation.
The team’s 4X400-meter relay team has been one of the
top teams in the past few years
and Hikel notes that all four
runners will be back to try
and improve on their impressive performances of a year
ago.
Amanda Pellowe, Megan
Farrell, Brianna Tidd and
Meagan DiVito will lace up
the shoes again for that relay
event. Farrell also returns as
one of the top 400-meter runners around, while Tidd
shines in the high jump and
in middle distance running.
Pellowe will be one to watch
in the hurdling events and
Amanda Maciaone has a season under her belt and will be
expected to shine in a number
of the shorter distance
events.
Caitlin Hussey and Kelsie
Whitney impressed Hikel in
the throwing events at the end
of last season and they will be
back to try and pace the team
in that area.
New to the team will be
senior Stephanie Storey, who
is going to be taking a crack at
the pole vault and looks very
comfortable preparing for the
event in the early going.
The boys’ team will see a
lot of newcomers, but there
are still some veterans returning to the track for another season.
Jeremy Verville is one of
the team’s top throwers, but
Hikel and Tuttle discovered
last year that he is actually
fairly fast and he will get some
chances in running events.
Tony Ungarelli and Ben
Rogers both return faster
than a year ago and will be
key in a number of the short
distance events.
Hikel is also looking at two
new freshmen who look very
promising, in Greg Tinkham
and Joe Rogers. Tinkham has
proven to be very solid in
many different events, leading Hikel to believe he will
make a good decathlon candidate.
Whatever the case, she
knows that it is always a big
step when kids make the jump
from the middle school to the
high school.
The Timber Wolves actually have six home meets on the
schedule this year, which
could lead to a busy few
months for the athletes and
the coaches.
The Timber Wolves are
slated to run at Gilford on
Tuesday, April 15, at 4 p.m.,
though the schedule of upcoming meets could be altered by the weather and field
conditions at the venues
where the upcoming meets
are slated to take place.

AMANDA PELLOWE is expected to be a big part of the success of the Timber Wolf track program this spring.

New coach takes the reins for Prospect tennis girls
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
ALTON — New Prospect
Mountain girls’ tennis coach
Joe Derrick hasn’t had an
easy go of it in his first few
weeks of coaching.
Mother Nature’s abundance of snow over the
course of the winter has left
the girls without courts to
play on during the preseason
and Derrick, who signed on
to coach the team once the
preseason has started, hasn’t
had a chance to see who can
do what on a court.
“We haven’t had any outside court time,” said Derrick. “Game knowledge, I
can’t really judge that until
we start playing.”
Derrick has been active
with the school’s outing club
and the ice hockey club, but
the girls’ tennis team marks
his first foray into varsity
coaching.
The Timber Wolves have
been practicing inside in the
gym, using the volleyball net,
lowered to tennis height.
There are also lines on the
floor that come close to a tennis court (a bit smaller) that
the girls have been using in
the early going.
“We’re doing the gym
thing and cardio,” said Derrick.
He noted that four girls
have risen above the rest and
No Glenn, no Tina, no problem
for this Boston Red Sox fan
Even though the snow is
still covering the ground
around my apartment and
my office, I am into the spring
feeling already, thanks to the
return of baseball and the
Red Sox.
Of course, it has been a
mixed bag for the Red Sox so
far. The rough pitching in
Japan and the first few
games of the Toronto series
kind of over-shadowed the
great outings by Daisuke and
Jon Lester in Oakland early
in the week. And it looks like
the Blue Jays are the real deal
this year.
The first two games of the
season were pretty unique. I
will say it was very unusual
to get up at 6 a.m. and watch
a few innings before heading
to work, but with the games
on Wolfeboro radio station
WASR, the only station that
comes in at my office in
Wolfeboro, again this year, I
am able to listen to the Sox in
my office, which is nice.
So far, there are two really
great things about the Sox
games this season. First, the
radio announcer rotation for
Red Sox baseball no longer
includes Glenn Geffner. I didn’t enjoy his lone year on the
SPORTING
CHANCE
By JOSHUA SPAULDING
Red Sox radio network. He
just didn’t have the right
voice, at least in my opinion.
Dave O’Brien, who in my
humble opinion, was great in
a limited role last year, is
back with stalwart Joe Castiglione for most of the
games this season, with
Boston radio veteran Dale
Arnold sitting in when
O’Brien is off. This is a dramatic improvement over last
year. Arnold seemed to pick
up pretty well on baseball
during the team’s trip to
Japan and it was nice to hear
O’Brien back on the air when
I turned on the radio for Saturday’s game in Toronto.
And I don’t think I could say
anything bad about Castiglione. He will always be
the voice of the Red Sox,
thanks to his call on that historic evening Oct. 27, 2004.
“Ground ball, stabbed by
Foulke. He has it, underhands to first and the Boston
Red Sox are world champions. For the first time in 86
years, the Red Sox have won
baseball’s world championship. Can you believe it?”
That still sends tingles down
my spine.
The other thing is that
through the first few games
of the season, I have seen no
signs of the worst sideline reporter in television history,
NESN’s Tina Cervasio. I enjoy the combination of Jerry
Remy and Don Orsillo for
every game, but I always
changed the channel when
Tina came on with one of her
annoying pieces. It has been
a pleasure to not have to listen to her ridiculous, inane
comments this year.
Now, if only the Sox could
get their act together a little
better, I would be a little happier. However, one way or another, my listening and viewing pleasure has been greatly enhanced thanks to the departure of two people.

will likely begin the season
as the top four in the lineup,
though the order in which
they appear is not set in
stone. A total of 14 girls have
come out for the team and
Derrick didn’t make any
cuts, keeping all 14 on the
squad.
Sophomore Kelsey Hopper will be one of the four top
players after having a solid
freshman campaign last
year.
Junior Shannon Halloran
will also be returning to the
court for another season. She
will be one of the team
captains.
Senior Kelsey Crathern is
out for the team for the first
time and figures to be in the
mix with the top four.
The final player on the list
for one of the top four spots
is sophomore Lindsay Coffey.
“I am just basing that on
drills,” said Derrick, citing
the lack of court time as a
reason that no real lineup
has been cast in stone.
The fifth and sixth spots
in the singles lineup will be
drawn from the pool of players and in the early going
Derrick expects to rotate the
girls through to find out who
fits best in what position.
Senior Deanna Clevesy
will be the team’s other captain and she will play in doubles. Derrick said her knowledge of the game will serve
her well when he pairs her
up with one of the younger
players for doubles play.
The Timber Wolves have
had three games postponed
as of deadline day Monday.
The next game on the docket
is a home match with Berlin
on Friday, April 11, at 4:30
p.m. The girls are also slated
to have a doubleheader on
Monday, April 14, at home
against Inter-Lakes. One of
those games is a makeup of
the first game of the season,
slated for March 31, which
had to be postponed. The
team is also scheduled to play
on Wednesday, April 16, at Conant.
Athletic director Corey
Roux noted that he cleared
one of the four tennis courts
at the school with a snowblower last week and it took
four hours, so the availability of the courts will determine when matches will be
held.

Kingswood lady laxers looking to go deep in playoffs
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
WOLFEBORO
—
Kingswood girls’ lacrosse
coach Ali Hoffman says that
the girls on her team know
that she is always in the business of replacing them.
With a maximum of four
years of eligibility, it is necessary to replace players
each year, but this year could
be especially tough for the
Knights, as Hoffman lost
nine seniors to graduation
last year, leaving her with only nine returning players to
the varsity team.
Despite that, the Knight
coach has high expectations
for a team that last year advanced to the second round
of the playoffs.
“The whole team is looking to step up and go to at
least the second round, hopefully farther,” said Hoffman.
“We’re optimistic that we’re
going to go farther than we
did last year.
The Knights, like most of
the teams in the region, have
been hampered by the weather and haven’t had much of a
chance to be outside. Last
Thursday was the first time
the team had gotten outside
in the parking lots at
Kingswood, but Saturday,
they got the opportunity to
get on a field and see where
they stand.
Former Kingswood boys’
lacrosse and football coach
Jason Perkins had a game
scheduled with his new team
at the University of New
Hampshire
against
St.
Thomas, but the Saints
backed out and Perkins
asked if the Kingswood girls
wanted to play.
Hoffman jumped at the
chance and the Knights
played from 8 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday night under the lights.
“That’s the only time
we’ve got to be on a field,”
said Hoffman.
Leading the charge for the
Knights will be six returning
seniors, all of whom have
played a big part in the program in past seasons.
Goaltender
Shelley
O’Neill, fresh off her play on
the national team, will return to net for her senior season and will be one of four
captains.
Midfielder Cristina Velez,
attack Jenna Barton and center Amanda Walker will also
serve as captains during
their senior campaigns.
Senior Lee Sutherland returns to the midfield and
classmate Heather Breton
will be key on defense for the
Knights in her final season
in the green and white.
The Knights have three
other players returning to
the fold. Junior Caroline
START RIGHT. START HERE.
Merrell will be a key part of
the defense, while classmate
Caitlin Tappan, who like
O’Neill, is coming off time
with the national team, will
return to the midfield. Hoffman is also looking for junior
Colleen Maguire to step up
on defense.
The team’s lone freshman
is Erin Maguire, who Hoffman expects to open some
eyes this year from her midfield position.
Hannah Estes moves up to
the varsity program in her
sophomore year, as do juniors Amanda Madden and
Marie Lander. Sophomores
Morgan
Limeman
and
Kaylee Moore will also look
to chip in. Renee Bernier,
who has anchored the field
hockey team’s goal for the
last two years, will be playing
lacrosse this season and will
be learning the goaltending
ropes from O’Neill, playing
at the varsity and JV level in
her sophomore season.
Hoffman also has four new
seniors out for the team.
Meghan Burke and Ashley
Brown will play at attack and
Brittney Goggin and Lindsay
Parker will play on defense.
“I’m looking for the new
seniors to play a role and
know what they are supposed
to do,” said Hoffman.
Hoffman will again be assisted by Kaitlin Reilly and
Sue Damberg and
Hoffman expects the
JV team to be the
best it’s been thanks
to the feeder program at Abenaki
lacrosse, which also
bodes well for the
varsity
program
this year and in the
future.
“I’d like to improve on (last year’s
record) of 10-4, I’d
like to get to 12-2,”
she said.
The team’s scheduled first game on
Monday, April 7, was
already postponed.
The girls are slated
to play today, Thursday, April 10, at Pelham and that game
was expected to be
played as scheduled
at 4 p.m. The girls are
also slated to host
Hopkinton at 4 p.m.
on Tuesday, April 15,
though that game is
subject to change
due to field and
weather conditions.

THE BAYSIDER, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2008
Jozokos looks to keep lacrosse
program moving in the right direction
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
WOLFEBORO — Last
year, the Kingswood boys’
lacrosse team made a great
turn-around, finishing at 9-6
and making a trip to the playoffs under first-year coach Jason Perkins.
This year, the Knights will
look to take yet another step
under another first-year
coach.
Matt
Jozokos,
who
coached the Knight football
team this fall and has served
as a coach in the local Abenaki lacrosse program for a
number of years, takes the
helm of the Knights for the
spring lacrosse season.
His first season has not exactly gotten off to a burning
start, however, as the snow
has plagued the team’s efforts
to practice and prepare for
the upcoming season.
“It would be nice to just get
on a field to practice,” said Jozokos. “The difficulty is we
can’t do a lot of offense and
defense in a confined area.
It’s more of a walk-through.”
He also noted that one of
the biggest concerns about
practicing in parking lots and
the like is the presence of
things like sand, which can
lead to injuries.
The Knights were lucky to
be able to secure some time
on Brewster Academy’s indoor turf surface in the early
part of the preseason, which
was a help.
Jozokos points out that he
had 41 kids come out for the
team. He kept 19 on the varsity squad, with a couple
splitting time between the
JV and varsity programs.
Jim Savage will again lead
TRACK
FROM PAGE B1
And as always, the
Prospect Mountain coaching
staff is always in need of volunteers at the home meets.
The next home meet is set for
April 29 and anyone interested in volunteering to help at
the meets can contact Hikel
at Alton Central School.
the JV team.
The first-year coach also
elected to go with a shorter
14-game schedule, pushing
for quality instead of quantity, which he hopes will eliminate the need to play a lot of
games in a short period of
time at the end of the season.
Once the Knights are able
to get on the field, they will
feature a number of players
who are returning to the fold
for another season.
Owen Donnelly, who was
the team’s leading goal scorer a year ago, is back for his
senior season and will again
be expected to lead the offense. Kyle Andrews, Ben
Vontz and Tom Anderson are
also emerging as leaders on
the offensive front, Jozokos
noted.
Additionally, twins Jordan
and Dana Mahar and Adam
Foss are also looking strong
in the early going among the
younger kids on the team.
Junior Rob Hale will get
the nod in the net for the
Knights this season. He spent
part of last season as the
team’s netminder and will
take over the position on a
full-time basis this year.
“And hopefully our defense will limit some of the
shots that he has to see,” said
Jozokos.
The first-year coach also
pointed out that he is a defensive-minded mentor.
“We have enough talent to
score goals, it’s just a matter
of whether we can stop the
other team from scoring,” he
said. “A lot of these kids, I’ve
coached at another level, I
know who they are, they
know who I am.”
Jozokos will also be bringing a few familiar faces from
Abenaki with him to the varsity field, as Eric Piper and
Bill Tappan will serve as assistant coaches.
“It gives us the opportunity to have a coach at each position so we can zero in on
what’s needed,” he said.
“Three sets of eyes are better
than one.”
The team was scheduled to
play at Hopkinton on Friday,
April 11, but that game was
postponed. The team is slated
to play at home on Tuesday,
April 15, against Kearsarge at
4:15 p.m. Of course all games
are subject to weather and
field conditions. The team’s
opener against Plymouth on
Tuesday, April 8, was already
postponed due to the snow
cover.
“The nice part is that most
of the teams are in the same
boat,” said Jozokos of the
postponements due to Mother Nature’s long and drawn
out winter.

Be a hero, shave your head to help
fight cancer at St. Baldrick’s event
GILFORD — What would
you look like bald? Like
a hero to kids with cancer,
says the St. Baldrick’s
Foundation.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation has issued a lofty challenge to everyone who wants
to help raise money for childhood cancer research: Be a
hero for children with cancer by participating in any of
the 300+ head-shaving fundraisers that will be held nationwide this year.
St. Baldrick’s began as a
challenge among friends and
has grown into the world’s
largest fundraising event for
childhood cancer. Because
treatment typically given to
youngsters causes their hair
to fall out, volunteers are recruited to have their heads
shaved in public in return for
pledges of financial support.
Participants find that
shaving their head is a small
sacrifice in comparison to
what these children endure,
and want to raise money to
help find a cure for children
with cancer now and in the
future.
The fourth annual Lakes
Region event will be held Saturday, May 31, at the Gunstock Recreation Area, 719
Cherry Valley Road in Gilford, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
or until all the hair is gone.
To learn more about this
year’s event please visit
www.stbaldrick.org. At find
an event, type Gilford NH,
click on Gunstock Recreation Area and see what fun
is planned for this year’s
event. At the site, you can register to be a shavee, donate to
a shavee, or make a general
donation to the event.
Since its inception in 2000,
St. Baldrick’s has raised
more than $20 million for the
cause. Worldwide, 160,000
kids are diagnosed with cancer each year and despite
tremendous progress, cancer
remains the number one disease killer of children in the
U.S. and Canada.
The Gilford Fire Department is very excited to once
again partner with the Save
Giovanni Team (www.savegiovanni.org) and DKMS
Americas (www.dkmsamericas.org) in conducting its second Bone Marrow Drive. At
the 2007 event more than 60
“heroes” participated in a
simple, painless, swab test of
the cheek and became registered as potential life saving
donors. Representatives will
be available throughout the
day to answer questions and
register anyone choosing to
do so.
Locally more than $80,000
has been raised at the three
events. The 2008 goal is
$35,000 and 125 heads to
shave, which is a wee bit
more than in 2007. Any participation and/or donation
will help to send the event
over the top!
It is not too late, but time
is getting short so be a hero
and register today at www.stbaldricks.org and be a part of
this “hair raising,” heartwarming event. Additionally
organizers will be collecting
hair that is a minimum of 10”
long for “Locks of Love.”
Please
visit
www.locksoflove.org for more information.
Although pre-registration
is encouraged, participants
may register at the event. All
participants raising $50 or
more receive a free St.
Baldrick’s t-shirt.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation adheres to the highest
standards established by
charity rating agencies. You
can learn more about the St.
Baldrick’s Foundation by
visiting www.GuideStar.org,
www.stbaldricks.org or calling 888-899-BALD.
So don’t miss this opportunity for a fun filled day of
music, silent auction, food
and entertainment. And, in
the weeks following “St.
Baldrick’s” when you see a
shaved head you’re probably
looking at a St. Baldrick’s
hero.
Precious Gardens offers tips
on container gardening
At Precious Gardens, in
Alton Bay, we design many
custom garden containers
for our clients throughout
the spring and summer
months. To many, a transformation from barren patio to
tropical jungle is at the hands
of an overzealous gardener
who discovers it’s nearly impossible to find a spot where
a container planting won’t
fit. Pots come in all sizes and
shapes, for standing on the
ground, sitting on tables and
hanging on walls. Most containers, no matter what size,
will be more attractive if
something is “spilling” over
the edges. The smaller containers are attractive filled
with one plant that spills out;
but the larger containers
need to be thought through.
In a large barrel or bushel
basket, plant something
bushy and upright in the center and surround it with a
cascading plant. The contrast of growing habits will
make your container look
abundant and beautiful.
Color is personal. We are
each drawn to different colors because they make us feel
good. Some people love a carnival of bright, bold, brassy
colors, while others prefer
the subtle romance of soft
pastels. The container itself
shouldn’t distract from the
planting, and the colors of
the planting should harmonize with the color of the container. Both the container
Fully
Insured
and the flowers should complement any furniture or fabrics in the area.
Green, the most prominent garden color, is the one
most overlooked in planning.
Shades of green in foliage
vary from deep, dark green,
to light, pale green, with
gray-green, sea green and
blue-green in between. Study
how they complement each
other, and you will be more
aware of how to add dimension to your color design.
Good soil preparation ensures the provision of nutrients for the growing plant.
When you are planting a container garden you aren’t
obliged to amend existing
soil as you do in the garden,
but can simply buy a specially formulated soil mix balanced in nutrients and with
fertilizer and good drainage
built in. Good potting soil is
essential for containers and
it is inexpensive. Plants potted up with a sterile potting
soil have a better start on life
than plants grown in a garden.
The biggest disadvantages to a container garden
are that containers dry out
much faster than a real garden does and the plants roots
are more exposed to heat and
cold because they are above
ground. Special polymers
are readily and cheaply available and, when mixed with
your planting medium, vastly increase water retention:

special granules absorb
many times their volume in
water, and turn into a gel that
slowly and steadily releases
the water as needed.
Every time plants are watered, nutrients wash out of
the soil, making it necessary
to feed container plants on a
regular basis. There are
many types of fertilizer
available, but the most practical are water-soluble,
which go directly to the
plant’s roots, and the slowrelease, which remains in
the soil for months, releasing the fertilizer when the
plants are watered.
To get you started, here
are a few simple steps Precious Gardens recommends:
• Layer one inch of small
stones over drainage hole to
promote drainage.
• Fill the container 3/4
with potting mix (25 percent
composted cow manure recommended for perennials
and shrubs). Add moistureretaining polymer and slow
release fertilizer. Mix with
soil.
• Place your plants in pot.
Top off container with potting mix to within 1-2 inches
of top.
• Water gently but thoroughly until all soil in container is completely wet.
• Fertilize your container
with liquid, or slow-release
fertilizer
approximately
every two weeks or as needed for optimum plant
growth.
Precious Gardens will also design and plant your containers for you. Simply dropoff your window boxes or patio pots and we’ll do the rest.
It’s that simple.
THE BAYSIDER, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2008

Long road home not quite complete for these animals
OSSIPEE — Carly, Grace
and Edelman were already in
grave danger. Then, the tornados came, ripping through
northern Georgia, blocking
the trio’s escape from certain
death. But a group of dedicated friends would not give
up on the three and after agonizing days of negotiation
and logistics and a week of
weather delays, they made
their way northward to safety. Their lives were spared.
On March 9, Dawn
Maynor Lewis put out word
to the animal rescue community that a major foster home
for the Humane Society of
Griffin Spalding County in
Georgia was being closed by
court order. If she didn’t find
homes for 100 dogs in the
next two weeks, all the animals would be euthanized. In
her part of the country, that
would probably mean the
dogs would be crowded into a
chamber, a dozen or so at a
time, and gassed to death.
Time to save them was short.
Linda Warner of Lakes Region Humane Society immediately responded to Lewis’
plea for help and soon the two
– and many others – were
working out the details of
moving dozens of dogs out of
harm’s way.
Then, a series of severe
storms slammed northern
Georgia
and
tornados
popped up in Atlanta and the
surrounding area. No one
was going anywhere, yet the
court’s timeline remained
firm. Dozens of rescuers put
their lives on hold as they
waited for the weather to
clear. The escape plan was reorganized and, at the first opportunity, volunteers began
driving dogs north towards
their designated exchange
points. The life saving relay
had begun.
Lakes Region Humane Society’s 2007 Volunteer of the
Year, Eugene Northacker, offered to drive to Connecticut
to pick the dogs up for the final leg of their journey to
safety. He left New Hampshire at 3 a.m. on March 27 to
meet at the scheduled rendezvous at the Connecticut
SPCA in Monroe, Conn.
Grace, Carly and Edelman
all arrived safely at Lakes Region Humane Society the afternoon of March 27. After
some exercise, feeding and
rest, they were given thorough medical examinations
by Veterinary Technician
Linda Warner, and all found
to be in good health, although
Grace needs to lose a little
weight. The dogs received
much-needed baths then
were watchfully integrated
into the shelter’s family of
animals, where they received
a lot of love and attention.
Soon, they were relaxed and
over the hardship of their
long journey. Now, they await
their new families.
Grace is a seven-year old
Shepherd-Collie mix with an
easy-going disposition. She
needs regular exercise and a
careful diet, as she is carrying a bit too much winter
weight. She would make a
great addition to a family
who wants a “good ole dog.”
Carly never lost her smile
throughout her harrowing
ordeal. She is a friendly, twoyear-old Labrador retriever
mix with a lot of love to give.
Edelmen is a three-year-old
Labrador mix who, although
a bit shy, adores children and
follows them everywhere.
If you are considering getting a dog, why not stop by
Lakes Region Humane Society and see if Carly, Grace or
Edelman is the perfect addition to your family? Check
them out in person or go to
the Lakes Region Humane
Society’s Web site at
www.lrhs.net
If you would like to help
LRHS in its mission of saving lives and changing lives,
donations are gratefully accepted by mail at: PO Box
655, Ossipee, NH 03864 or securely
online
at
www.lrhs.net. Or stop by the
shelter at 11 Old Route 28 in
Ossipee (across from the Post
Office) and visit the cats and
dogs awaiting their loving
adoptive homes. Though Carly, Grace and Edelman are
now out of danger, their jour-
ney home is not yet complete.
COURTESY ■
GRACE, EDELMAN AND CARLY waiting for the "forever homes" after being saved from certain death in a
Georgia shelter. Come visit them at the Lakes Region Humane Society in Ossipee.
Garden Club offers scholarship to PMHS senior
ALTON — The Alton Garden Club will award one onetime scholarship. The intent
of the scholarship is to provide funds to a high school
senior living in Alton, Alton
Bay or Barnstead. The scholarship is available for public,
private and home-schooled
students. The scholarship
award and payment will be
based on the following crite-
ria: The applicant must be a
resident of Alton, Alton Bay
or Barnstead. The scholarship is open to all graduating
seniors, but first priority will
be granted to those intent on
pursuing a career in landscaping,
horticulture,
forestry, environmental sciences or earth sciences. In
the event that there are no applicants, the scholarship will
be open to a previous graduate currently pursuing higher education in these fields.
The completed application
and all accompanying information must be received by
the Alton Garden Club by
April 15. The form/application is available at the
Prospect Mountain High
School's Guidance Department. There are often schol-
arships available that are not
awarded because students
are not aware that they exist.
Please take advantage of this
opportunity provided by the
Garden Club. The members
look forward to receiving the
applications but stress the
fact that time is growing
short, so apply now, and they
wish each applicant good
luck.

THE BAYSIDER, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2008
About species preference, and feeding the birds
I don’t know why we feed
the birds. We like to see them,
of course, and there is the underlying self-indulgent gratification that we are helping
them get through hard times.
It’s a noblesse oblige sort of
thing, or as the now-jaded
products of the seventies
would put it, a feel-good thing.
Yet when I go out to tend
the three bird-feeders and rectify the ravages of wind and
weather, and fill them up with
a rich and varied mixture of
seeds, which the red squirrels
also appreciate, I inevitably
think of two things: coyotes
and deer.
Some people won’t admit
it, but there is almost always
an underlying theme of discrimination and bigotry going on in, around and under a
bird feeder. There are species
people want and love to see,
oohing and ahhing at them
and peering out at them with
binoculars and rushing for
the Peterson’s Field Guide to
ascertain the meaning of a
stripe of plumage here, a
patch of color there. “Look!
It’s a rare Central American
pitted-beak worm-grubber!
Probably blown in by that
southeaster!”
Meanwhile, the mourning
doves show up, one of the certain harbingers of spring,
and a sure sign that they’ll
soon be followed by one of the
most hated species of all,
grackles. Most people who
feed birds, if they told the
truth, would admit to deeply
held desires for ethnic cleans-
ing when it comes to grackles,
with blue jays not far behind.
Blue jays, which are killers
and marauders and thieves,
get onto bird feeders and slew
their beaks through everything to find just the nuggets
they want, driving out all other birds in the process. If my
wife made noises about wanting a blue jay pie, which I’ve
never tried, and if it weren’t
against the law, they’d probably be on our target practice
list.
As for mourning doves, to
some they are symbols of
love, cooing softly in pairs on
some wire, but to me they are
pin-headed midget pigeons.
Pigeons, by the way, are
considered a rats-at-the-dump
species and are not protected.
If they take up residence in
an open barn or shed they can
become a real problem.
All of our kids have been
taught to regard guns as tools
to be used carefully and respected, nothing more. Invariably they start with a 22
single-shot rifle and gradually graduate to a 410 shotgun
and then maybe a 20 gauge
single, and then, if deer hunting is in the script, a 30-30 Winchester or Marlin. None of
these firearms are automatic
or easy to operate and actually require some thought before pulling the trigger. You
have to think about what
you’re doing and exercise
great caution, which, come to
think of it, you have to do with
a carving knife or a chainsaw.

NOTEBOOK
By JOHN HARRIGAN
the river in nearby Vermont
became infested with pigeons, whose droppings were
making an awful mess on our
sheepskins laid out to dry before being sent off to be cured,
and so we set Nancee’s elder
son Nathaniel loose with the
single-shot 22, loaded with
what I call rat-shot, meaning
cartridges loaded with very
tiny pellets, smaller than BB
pellets. They can bring down
a pigeon but will do no damage to a metal roof.
Soon we had six fat pigeons, and I dressed them off
as I would a partridge and we
hauled them home for supper.
After all, they had been feeding mostly on grain, our
grain.
Nancee made a stuffing
and I oiled and seasoned the
birds and popped them into
the oven. “Squab, in an adult
stage,” I thought, picturing
the European delicacy.
At the supper table my review, if I wrote reviews for a
food magazine, would be “Not
bad.” As in “Tough but tasty.”
Meaning, a hell of a lot of
work for a buzzard.
(Reality check: I’ve not
checked on Vermont laws.
There may be one against
shooting pigeons, and this ar-
ticle might result in my being
dragged away by the Pigeon
Police. You never know about
Vermont. Despite its liberal
image — the land of ponytails, rimless glasses, Volvos
and yurts---it is the state
where there are utterly no
handgun licensing laws and
where people can still shoot
fish. So who knows about
pigeons?)
This brings me to coyotes.
In western Massachusetts, a
farmer recently shot what
looked to be an oversized coyote attacking his livestock.
The animal, after exhaustive
DNA tests, turned out to be a
bonafide gray wolf. Wolves
are protected, and there are
strident, righteous movements to restore them to their
ancestral habitats. One of the
resultant questions was
whether the farmer should be
prosecuted.
Huh? We are drilled, as a
society, to hate coyotes and regard them as vermin, and are
allowed to persecute them in
all manner, including haphazard shooting, poisoning,
trapping, snaring and swerving to run over them in the
road.
Yet we are told to revere the
wolf as a mystical, soul-sooth-
ing, adorable symbol of the
wild. Never mind that the
wolf and the coyote are close
to being lying-down-together
cousins. Is this species discrimination, or what? Same
thing as at the bird feeder.
As for the deer, we are told
that feeding deer is not good
for them because their digestive tracts can’t take it and
feeding draws them into dangerous situations concerning
traffic accidents, harassment
by coyotes and free-running
dogs, disease, parasites, and
loss of passed-down knowledge about natural movement and wintering sites.
After a lot of research on
this and a lot of looking, reading and listening, particularly to biologists and wildlife
friends I respect, I’m dead set
against feeding deer. It’s a feelgood practice that in the long
run does the deer little good,
and can do them great harm.
Yet I slog out there to feed
the birds, most recently digging through three feet of
fresh wind-blown snow to do
so, and never mind the realities and consequences.
In our household I do most
of the dishes, and can see the
bird feeders from the kitchen
sink, mentally canceling out
the squirrels, grackles,
mourning doves and blue
jays, all flocking there for my
feel-good, artificial food. The
human mind is truly a wondrous and fallible thing.

THIS PICTURE was taken (after a lot of shoveling) on Sunday, March 30.
The only birds around at the time, chickadees, flew back and forth to
feed while the feeders were being repaired and filled, alternately stopping to cock their heads and chirp.
