PORTSMOUTH – Nearly 200 runners turned
out at Peirce Island to partici-pate in the 3rd Annual Pack & Boots Road Race this Inde-pendence Day in Portsmouth. The event, including a 5K and One-Mile Survival Run, hon-ored US veterans and helped support local organization Vet-erans Count, an Easter Seal’s program providing financial assistance and services to veter-ans, service members and their families.
The top three males and females running the 5K race were: for males, Jason Shames-man in first place, Drew Thibault in second and Will Locandro in third; and for fe-males, Amy Bernard in first, followed by Melissa Hiatt and Carrie Kane in second and third, respectively.

Point Road has expanded to a global level. With its recent partnership with University Track Preparation (UTP), a company that offers specialized programs for international stu-dents in U.S. high schools, St. Thomas Aquinas High School will welcome students from Germany, Mexico, Vietnam, Hong Kong and China to its student body during the 2015-16 school year. In an effort to ensure each student has an optimal American experience, the school is seeking Seacoast families to host these students throughout the year.
Host families are the back-bone of successful study abroad experiences. Their hospital-ity and generosity to a student

offers him/her a unique oppor-tunity and can also enrich the host family’s knowledge and familiarity with international cultures. By way of accommo-dating both student and family, host families receive a stipend to offset basic costs associated with hosting ($650-$750 per month per student).
Many of the incoming international students have particular interests, including athletics. UTP invites families who may have special expe-rience with a particular area of interest (athletics, drama, music, etc.) to consider serving an international student athlete or musician in this way.
UTP and St. Thomas Aquinas High School strive to make the international educa-tion experience an inclusive,
Charles Danner (2nd) and Jeff Hiatt (3rd) for the male group; and Melissa Hiatt (1st), Jane Angelopoulos (2nd) and Jacki Dore (3rd) for the female group.
Following the success of its third consecutive race, Veterans Count is excited to announce the continuation of Pack & Boots into the summer of 2016. Going forward, the event will again be held on the Fourth of July, to both honor our country and the coura-geous veterans that have served to protect it.
Conceived in 2007, Veter-ans Count strives to bring com-prehensive, emergency aid to veterans and their families, and to provide critical and timely fi-nancial assistance and services when no other resource is avail-able, to ensure their dignity, health and overall well-being. More information is available at www.vetscount.org.

Allergic reactions occur when the body’s immune system attacks an often harm-less substance like animal dander, food or pollen. Medi-cation can help reduce the severity of such reactions, but some allergy sufferers find al-lergic reactions inconvenient nuisances even with medica-tion.
Understanding what triggers allergic reactions may help some people avoid them or make them easier to handle. The following are some of the more common allergy triggers and how men and women suffering from al-lergies can avoid them.
PollenPollen is perhaps the best-
known allergy trigger. A fine, often yellow substance that’s essential to the fertilization of flowers, pollen can be spread by wind, insects or other animals. Hay fever sufferers may sneeze or experience a runny nose and itchy eyes when pollen spreads. Over-the-counter medications, such as Claritin®, can be es-pecially effective at relieving symptoms of seasonal allergies. But allergy sufferers also can combat high pollen counts by staying indoors on windy days and closing their windows and running their air conditioners.
Pet dander
Dander are flakes of skin in an animal’s fur or hair. Be-cause of their microscopic size, these flakes of skin can easily attach and remain attached to bedding, fabrics and furniture. Many people keep their pets even if they develop allergies to dander. Should such a situation arise, do not allow your pet into your bedroom, bathe the animal regularly and remove carpeting in favor of bare floors or washable rugs.
MoldMold is a furry growth of
minute fungal hyphae that is often found in damp parts of a home, such as basements and bathrooms. Mold also can be
found in grass and mulch, trig-gering allergic reactions when men and women spend time in their yards. To avoid an aller-gic reaction triggered by mold, make sure moist areas of your home get fresh air regularly and routinely clean ceilings or other areas where mold may grow.
Dust mitesTiny bugs that live in
bedding, carpets, curtains, up-holstery, and mattresses, dust mites feed on dead skin cells from people and pets. Dust mites also may feed on bac-teria, fungi and pollen. Dust mites thrive in humid condi-
tions, but these pests can be combatted with hypoaller-genic pillows and mattress covers. Removing materi-als that collect dust, such as carpet, also can reduce the number of dust mites.
Seasonal allergies affect millions of people. But such sufferers can combat their seasonal allergies by taking several proactive approaches to eliminate allergens before reactions occur.

HAMPTON -Painters, photographers,
writers and poets are inspired throughout the year by the beauty and serenity at Hamp-ton’s Deacon Tuck Gristmill. Yet now to mid-July, when the wild lilies are in bloom, is a par-ticularly picturesque time for creating works of art.
The Deacon Tuck Grist-mill Committee invites you to bring your paints, pens, pencils and cameras to the fifth annual
En Plein Air. The historic grist-mill is at the lower end of High Street close to North Beach.
John Tuck, a carpenter, built the gristmill in 1686. For 200 years its millstones ground corn into fresh flour, or “grist.” Tuck was Hampton’s first miller, as well as a deacon of the church for 27 years. He was a diligent reader of the Bible, which he read cover-to-cover 12 times.
The Deacon Tuck Grist-mill is a featured location in
“Hampton History Bits,” an around-the-town exhibit that tells tales of Hampton’s past, sponsored by the Tuck Museum and Hampton Historical Society to celebrate its 90th Anniversa-ry.
This year become a part of Hampton’s history by creating on location at the grounds of the old gristmill.

PORTSMOUTH -The chamber music fes-
tival, Halcyon Music Festival, is weeks away from launch-ing their second season. In an effort to share beautiful music and talent with the seacoast region, the Halcyon Music Festival is inviting the commu-nity and press to a free concert preview. This exclusive festival preview will take place on July 22 at the Portsmouth Commu-nity Campus at noon.
Led by Artistic Director and Pianist Heng-Jin Park, the preview will feature a short program with various artists from the festival as well as a Q&A with the artists follow-ing their performances. The program will include the fol-lowing chamber music pieces: Robert Schumann - Adagio and Allegro performed by Abel Pereira on french horn and Heng-Jin Parkon piano; and W.A. Mozart - Quintet for horn and strings in Eb Major, K. 407 performed by Abel Pereira on horn, Ayano Ninomiya on PORTSMOUTH -
John Moreland will be per-forming at The Music Hall Loft, 131 Congress Street on Thurs-day, July 23 at 7:30 p.m.
A highly praised singer-songwriter with tunes on several episodes of the television series “Sons of Anarchy” and a de-voted fan base across the coun-try, John Moreland was recently touted by Yahoo! Music as an “electrifying” guitarist/vocalist and a “major talent.” With the
release of his highly anticipated third album, “High on Tulsa Heat,” he offers a more spare, stripped-down version of lyrics-first, gorgeously plaintive songs that have earned him kudos as an emotionally powerful per-former.

Halcyon Music FestivalPresents Free Concert HAMPTON -
A darkly dramatic paint-ing by Norma Torti, Hampton’s own award-winning artist, is at the heart of a new display at the Tuck Museum about colo-nial Hampton’s obsession with witchcraft.
Painted in the “representa-tional” style used by 17th century painters, the painting, “Wielding Hysteria,” places viewers back in that ominous time in the 1600s to early 1700s when neighbors, overcome by seemingly uncon-trollable frenzy, accused neigh-bors of being witches.
“Wielding Hysteria” is a different sort of painting for Torti, and she enjoyed traveling the path it took her on. The work is in response to a request from Tuck Museum Director Betty Moore for help with an exhibit now on display for the 90th An-niversary of the Tuck Museum and Hampton Historical Society.
Called “Hampton History Bits,” the summer exhibit high-lights Tuck Museum treasures along with short vignettes to tell tales of Hampton’s past. The exhibit is on display now at the
violin, Tatjana Mead Chamis on viola, Timothy Deighton on viola, and Loewi Lin on cello.
“We are delighted to work with Brinn Chute and The City of Portsmouth to put on this free event for the community. Our preview will showcase some of the finest musicians performing beautiful classical pieces. This event will give the public an inside look at how the full fes-tival will feel and sound,” says Katie Shine, publicist for Halcy-on Music Festival. Portsmouth Community Campus, 100 Campus Drive, Portsmouth. For more information, visit halcyonmusicfestival.org.

Tuck Museum and various locations around town. The window display about Hampton’s “witches” is at the Tuck Museum’s new Collection and Research Center at 387 Lafayette Road.
Torti drew upon her talent for creating theater pro-duction paintings and library murals for the oversized “Wielding Hysteria” painted from an unusual perspective. To begin the creative process, Torti researched images of The Three Sisters from “Macbeth,” coincidentally written by Wil-liam Shakespeare in 1603-07. She then followed the concept of witches through time to the pres-ent, employing sparks of magic from Harry Potter.

PORTSMOUTH –Mike Carlton, President
of Calling All Cargo Moving & Storage, presented Veterans Count with a check of $2,145.01 at the organization’s recent board meeting at the Service Credit Union Headquarters. The donation was made pos-sible by the “Caveman Chal-lenge,” a grassroots fundrais-ing event initiated by Carlton in November of last year.
Located in Dover, Call-ing All Cargo dedicates itself to volunteerism and involvement in the community. Drawing inspiration from “No Shave November,” Carlton, a retired Marine, decided to challenge himself and his friends to grow out their facial hair, while avoiding haircuts entirely for six months. Following the chal-lenge, the moving company held a celebratory event open to the public, which included a raffle and silent auction to raise funds for the Easter Seal’s pro-gram.
“It was really wonderful for Mike to come up with this idea and to have it support vet-
erans,” said Veterans Count Program Coordinator Ginger Munson. “I think it’s fantas-tic.”
Following his presentation to the Board, Carlton discussed the importance of programs like Veterans Count, which provide services to returning veterans who don’t know how to get their lives back on track. Being a veteran himself, as well as having an employee who was a beneficiary of Veterans Count
services, Carlton’s efforts to aid the Easter Seal’s program are deeply personal.
Conceived in 2007, Veter-ans Count strives to bring com-prehensive, emergency aid to veterans and their families, and to provide critical and timely fi-nancial assistance and services when no other resource is avail-able, to ensure their dignity, health and overall well-being.

PORTSMOUTH –Optima Bank & Trust, a lo-
cally-owned, commercial bank headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire was recently named the newest Small Busi-ness Administration Express Lender in New Hampshire. Greta Johansson, District Di-rector of the SBA New Hamp-shire District Office made the announcement on Friday, June 19 during a brief ceremony at Optima Bank and Trust’s Ports-mouth office. Ms. Johansson presented John Burcke, Vice President Commercial Lending with a certificate acknowledg-ing this accomplishment.
As an SBA Express Lender, Optima Bank and Trust will be able to provide their small business clients faster turn-around service for loans up to $350,000 in value. These loans may be used by small business customers for most business purposes, but especially to support working capital needs and equipment purchases.
“We are very pleased to have Optima Bank and Trust
on board as an SBA Express Lender,” said SBA District Di-rector Greta Johansson. “The SBA Express program is a streamlined and versatile small business lending product that is widely recognized throughout New Hampshire.”
“The SBA has been a valu-able partner for us in helping our small business customers find the capital they need,” said John Burcke, VP, Senior Com-
mercial Loan Officer. “Attain-ing SBA Express Lender status is tribute to the success of our commercial lenders in finding solutions for the businesses they serve. As SBA Express lenders we look forward to having this additional tool to help our busi-ness clients get the financing they need in a timely manner.” For more information, visit op-timabank.com or call 603-433-9600.
PORTSMOUTH – Good Idea Design, a local
design firm in Portsmouth, has been awarded a “2015 Commu-nicator Award of Distinction” for its design of the 2015 Artists of the Seacoast Calendar. The award was made in the category of “Public Service/Pro Bono - Marketing/Promotion” because the calendar serves as a major fundraiser for Families First Health & Support Center, a non-profit.
The Communicator Awards is a leading international program recognizing “big ideas in marketing and communica-tions” and judged by the Acade-my of Interactive & Visual Arts. The 2015 calendar was the first one that Good Idea owner and creative director Nikki Savramis designed; the calendar has been produced annually since 1996. “As a sole-proprietor, taking on a pro-bono client can often be a monumental task,” states Nikki. “But after becoming a new mom in 2009, the parent and toddler programs at Families First were so helpful, I felt driven to give back to the organization that had done so much for me.”
The Artists of the Seacoast Calendar features artwork from
local artists collected each year. Due to sponsorships from the local business community, 100 percent of proceeds go directly to help Families First provide a broad range of health and family services to all, regardless of abil-ity to pay. Savramis is currently in the process of designing the 2016 calendar, which will be available for purchase in stores and online beginning September 2015.
Prior to opening Good Idea Design in 2000, Savramis served as senior art director at Business NH Magazine for 10 years. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Hartford Art School and handles publication and corpo-rate design work for clients such as the New Hampshire Insti-tute of Art and Phillip Exeter’s Lamont Gallery.
Families First, the Sea-coast’s community health center, provides primary, prenatal and oral health care, as well as par-enting and family programs, to about 6,500 Seacoast residents each year. More information is at 603-422-8208 and Families-FirstSeacoast.org. For more in-formation about the calendar, visit www.familiesfirstseacoast.org/artists.html.

to my computer in my basement and an extender connected to the router. The extender is on a long cable and placed elsewhere in the basement close to an out-side wall as close as I can get it to where my daughter uses her laptop in a studio apartment close to my house. (Her laptop is perhaps 50 feet in a straight line from the extender.) She not infrequently has trouble access-ing the Internet; sometimes she pushes the reset buttons on the router and the extender and that corrects the problem; sometimes not. My question is: do routers and extenders come in different "strengths" and would a "stron-ger" router and/or extender likely solve this problem? Thank you very much, Henry
Dear Henry,Yes, routers and extenders
do come in different strengths, and that is something you can try, but first, I would try a less expensive remedy. When you set up a wi-fi router and/or extender the signal covers an area that is kind of shaped like an umbrella. Having your extender in the basement can limit the reach of the signal for a couple of reasons. First the signal has to go through thick basement walls, and sec-ondly it is not high enough to give you good coverage. Moving
your router or extender to a higher level in your house will give you a better range, so try moving them higher in your house before you go out and pur-chase a stronger one. Elizabeth

way I can make it louder? Thank you, Ruth
Dear Ruth,If the volume on the video
and the volume on your laptop are both turned all the way up, and you still can't hear the video, you will have to look at ways out-side of your laptop to increase the volume. You could try plugging in headphones; this would elimi-nate interference from your sur-roundings, and make it easier to hear. You could also try an exter-nal speaker. I used to use a small USB powered speaker with my laptop when watching movies in my sewing room. (Now I watch them on my iPad and the volume is just fine). One or both of those items should make it easier for you to hear your videos. If you are using headphones, be careful that you don't damage your ears when a regular volume video plays really loudly. Elizabeth
Dear Computer Lady,I don't know how it hap-
pened, but whenever I open up MS Word, an old letter pops up. I don't know how to delete it as I have searched for a delete feature among the toolbars but haven't found one. I have tried to delete all of the words on the docu-ment and save it that way, but that only makes me save it as an-other document. I can bring up a blank document, but that only
comes up a second document. I want it back the way it was with a blank document as document 1. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this letter and back to the original default blank docu-ment? Thanks, Martin
Dear Martin,It sounds like you have
saved your old letter as the de-fault template in Word. For-tunately, the solution is fairly easy. All you have to do is find the normal.dot (or normal.dotm depending on what version of Word you are using) file and delete it. After you delete the normal.dot file, Word will au-tomatically create a new, blank document templete the next time you open it.
What is the Normal.dot word template? It is the template that Word uses for a new docu-
ment every time you start the program. The powerful thing about this document is that you can customize the template so that Word opens a new docu-ment with the formatting that you want. Occasionally though, someone will accidentally save a current document as the normal.dotm template and then every time they open a new Word document their old document will appear. The only hard part here, is finding the template. Make sure Word is closed before you begin!! Click on "start" and then type the following in the search box: %appdata%\Micro-soft\Templates. A folder named, "Templates" will appear in the top of your start menu. Click on it to open it. In the folder, find the template named, Normal.

It is so impressive,” said Patti Mitchem, office manager for GWRLT. “We are very appre-ciative of being selected and the funds raised will be extremely helpful as Great Works is work-ing on many projects.”
Individuals who don’t have the time or money during the summer months can shop there this month or offer their gently worn goods.

The decades old tradi-tion of Prescott Park is rewrit-ing history this season on the Wilcox Industries Main Stage, and promises to present a mu-sical production like never before. “Pan has such a magi-cal story that we all know and love,” remarked Ben Anderson, President of Prescott Park Arts Festival. “Beyond the musi-cal itself, we have an all-star creative team this season in-cluding Dan Beaulieu as stage director, and Patrick Dorrow, artistic director. The ideas they are working on now are beyond anything I have imagined for our stage. I can’t wait.”
Based on J.M. Barrie’s classic tale and featuring an unforgettable score by Morris Charlap and Jule Styne with lyrics by Carolyn Leight, Betty Comden, and Adolph Green, Peter Pan is one of the most be-
loved and popular family favor-ites of all time.

In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with a ticking croc-odile, a fierce Indian tribe, a band of bungling pirates, and of course, the villainous Cap-tain Hook.
