NEW DURHAM — Pro-tecting local watershedsfrom phosphorous runoffwas the focus of a specialjoint meeting between mem-bers of New Durham's Plan-ning Board and Conserva-tion Commission last week.
Planning board memberBob Craycraft, who helpedorganize the joint work ses-sion (which took place at thebeginning of a regularlyscheduled ConservationCommission meeting onApril 27), introduced guestspeaker Don Kretchmer, awater quality expert cur-rently working on a volun-teer research project inWolfeboro.
Noting that the waterquality in many local lakeshas been deteriorating overthe past several years,Kretchmer said the primarysource of the problem isrunoff from phosphorous, akey ingredient in many fer-tilizers (usually the middleof the three numbers foundon most bags of fertilizer).
Phosphorous is the pri-mary nutrient involved inthe growth of algae andcyanobacteria, he said, ex-plaining that the buildup ofphosphorous in a lake feedsalgae, causing it to growmuch faster than the lakecan manage.
When there is more algaepresent than the lake's popu-lation of algae eaters canhandle, and the excess algaedie, major amounts of oxy-
gen are drawn out of the wa-ter, oxygen that fish and oth-er inhabitants of the lakeneed to grow.
As the oxygen level de-creases, Kretchmer said, fishdie, along with the smallerfish and animals that theysubsist on.
The reduced population offish, in turn, reduces thenumber of algae-eating or-ganisms in the lake, and theproblem expands, he added.
Displaying photographstaken during a recent exper-iment that he said illustrat-ed his point, Kretchmer ex-plained that he filled two jars with water from LakeWentworth.
One of the jars, he said,was left in its natural state,while phosphorous wasadded to the other.
Within two weeks,he said,so many algae had grown inthe jar contaminated byphosphorous that the waterhad turned green, while thewater in the uncontaminat-ed jar remained clean andclear.
Describing the processthrough which phosphorousgets into a lake, Kretchmerexplained that one of its keycharacteristics is its abilityto form phosphates that bindeasily to clay, dirt, and othersediments.
When a heavy rain wash-es sediment downriver intonearby lakes, he said, it car-ries the phosphorous with it.
In an untouched naturalenvironment, with no oneadding phosphorous to theland, the brush, tall grass,and trees slow down the

BARNSTEAD — A re-cent vote by Barnstead'sBoard of Selectmen to keepa police cruiser that wasoriginally set to be replacedby a newer vehicle in serv-ice prompted budget com-mittee members to questionlast week whether the deci-sion went against a Warrantarticle approved in March.
As the budget committeegathered at Town Hall for alast-minute work session onApril 28, Chairman PaulLandry explained that hehad called the meeting in or-der to discuss whether theselectmen had votedagainst the spirit of Article6 on this year's town War-rant (which asked voters toraise and appropriate$30,000 to purchase andequip a new police vehicle)by deciding to hold onto anolder cruiser, which (ac-cording to Police Chief KenBorgia) has become a safetyhazard, and should be re-placed.
The final vote by the se-lectmen, Landry said, was3-2, with Andy Houle, BobLaRoche and Kathy Grillovoting in favor of keepingthe old cruiser, and DaveKerr and Jim Barnard op-posed.
"My first read of it is thattheir action is contrary tothe purpose of the [War-rant] article," he said, ex-plaining that as he under-

Another concern Landrysaid he wanted to addresswas the fact that, accordingto eyewitness accounts,committee member BillHaynes was "treated ratherroughly" by LaRoche when

Haynes said he had ap-proached the selectmen as aconcerned resident andbudget committee memberduring the public input portion of the April 20 meeting to state that he was disappointed to readabout their vote to keep the
cruiser in service in the pre-vious week's issue of TheBaysider.
Although the selectmeninitially seemed to accepthis comments calmly, hesaid, LaRoche lashed out at him at a later point in the meeting, accusingHaynes of questioning hisintegrity.

Selectmen hear results of town’s energy assessmentBY BILLY PERKINS
Contributing Writer
BARNSTEAD — The re-sults of a town energy assessment and fire de-partment matters led offthe selectmen’s agenda lastTuesday.
Tim McDonald, a repre-sentative from Clean Air-Cool Planet, an alternativeenergy solutions companycharged with assessing thetown’s energy usage, pre-sented a report on green-house gas emissions and en-ergy use for town operationslast year at the board’s April27 meeting.
After gathering data fromutility bills and analyzing itwith energy consumptionsoftware, McDonald was ableto assess the energy usage oftown-owned buildings, vehi-cles and streetlights, andcompare it with state and na-tional averages.
The assessment was con-ducted at no cost through theN.H. Municipal Energy As-sistance Program, which col-lected similar data for sever-al towns throughout thestate.
Among McDonald’s rec-ommendations to help cutdown on energy consump-tion and costs — whichamounted to $119,697 lastyear — were to watch fuelcosts and to look at ways toconserve fuel for the town’svehicle fleet. Fuel costs forthe vehicles, which amount-ed to $66,846, were the mostexpensive sector of energycosts for the town last year.
McDonald also recom-mended that the town re-as-sess the condition of thehighway department’s gar-age on Beauty Hill Road.The amount of energy usedto power the relatively smallstructure last year, he said,was “astronomically high”by all standards.
Another town buildingthat McDonald deemed to bea priority in his report wasthe South Barnstead RoadFire Station. The station, hereported, used more energyand emitted more carbonemissions than the state av-erage for fire stations. Whilehe said that its energy con-sumption should be closelywatched, he also reported
that the building and its me-chanical structures appearto be efficient.
He also said that the towncould save money in the longrun if it made some im-provements to Town Hall.
“It seems like it’d be a pret-ty good opportunity to savesome money,” McDonaldsaid of Town Hall, addingthat some basic steps of im-provement on the agingstructure could cut down onits energy consumption.
Despite some possible dis-crepancies in data, McDon-ald said that the report was agood starting point for as-sessing the town’s energy usage.
The next step in theprocess of the Municipal En-ergy Assistance Program isto receive an energy auditfrom the Sustainable Devel-opment and Energy SystemsGroup. There is a $50 fee forthat audit, but McDonaldsaid it could be waived formunicipalities.
Fire department matters
Selectmen also met withFire Chief George “Rusty”
Krause to discuss variousmatters pertaining to the firedepartment.
One issue that Krausebrought forward to select-men was the possibility of instituting a social med-ia policy within the fire department.
The policy, Krause said,would formally bar membersof the department from shar-ing private information re-garding incidents that theyrespond to on social net-working or video Web sites.
Board Chairman JimBarnard told Krause that itwas his understanding that aclause regarding town em-ployees’ Internet use was al-ready included in the town’scurrent personnel policy.
Selectman Dave Kerr said,however, that the current pol-
icy only covers the use of theInternet on town-ownedequipment, and does not prohibit town employeesfrom releasing town-relatedinformation over the Inter-net on their own personalcomputers.
Krause said that Alton’sfire department has institut-ed a similar policy.
“I just think in today’sworld, unfortunately, you’vegot to watch out for it,”Krause said, pointing to anincident that occurred in afire department in the mid-west, in which a video of of amedical response was re-leased on YouTube, and re-sulted in a lawsuit againstthe department.
Selectmen came to a con-sensus that it would be a goodpolicy to have, and suggested
that it be included in thetown’s personnel policy tomake it apply to all town employees.
Krause said that he willwork on drafting the policy.
Selectmen also discussedwith Krause a future capitalproject for an ambulance re-placement next year andgave him their blessing torecognize the Central NewHampshire Hazardous Mate-rials Response Team as a re-gional emergency planningcommittee. They also met ina non-public session withhim to discuss personnelmatters.

New Durham-based literary journal gives writers a voiceBY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
NEW DURHAM — WhenMary Ann Sullivan set out topublish the first issue of herliterary magazine, The Tow-er Journal, she expected it tobe a short-lived class project.
Two years later, the onlinepublication, based out of herhome in New Durham, hasbecome a thriving mecca foraspiring writers from NewHampshire to India, and noone has been more surprisedby its success than Sullivanherself.
An associate professor atHesser College with a Mas-ter's degree in Writing and adoctorate in digital poetry,Sullivan hit upon the idea ofestablishing a literary jour-nal while studying for herdoctorate at Franklin PierceUniversity, where a demon-stration of commitment tothe community was a re-quirement for the program.
She was teaching a poetryclass at McIntosh College atthe time, she said, and set outto design her own literaryjournal as an independentstudy project in the hope ofproviding aspiring writerslike her students with a plat-form on which to publishtheir work.
"At some point, it reallytook off," she said, ex-plaining that word startedgetting around about TheTower Journal after the first issue appeared onlinetwo years ago, and has spread
like wildfire."I never even really tried
too hard," she added. "It justsort of became its ownthing."
Many of the writerswhose works have appearedin The Tower Journal (par-ticularly those from Europe)have contacted her throughthe social networking Website Facebook.com, she said, adding that she discov-ered a number of giftedartists, such as Italy's Lancil-lotto Bellini, who might never have had an opportu-nity to present their work inAmerica if she hadn't beenmade aware of them via theInternet.
Just recently, she said, afirst-time author from Indiacontacted her through Face-book, asking her to read hisbook and consider publish-ing a review in The TowerJournal.
Alongside the works offoreign writers, Sullivan saidshe also tries to publish a"wide gamut" of New Hamp-shire writers, among themScott Lounsbury (a poet fromWolfeboro whom she met at St. Katharine DrexelChurch) and Bryan Cook.
Past issues of The TowerJournal, she said, have evenfeatured poetry composed byan inmate at New Hamp-shire's State Prison forWomen.
Sullivan recently made areturn to poetry herself, col-laborating with Ruth Lepson
(a resident poet at the New England Conservatorywhom she met on Facebook)to create "Recapitulation," adigital video poem inspiredby Bartok's String Quartet,Second Movement.
According to Sullivan,digital poetry, a movementthat seeks to free words fromthe restrictions of the print-ed page by exploring how pic-tures function as language(which took Europe bystorm, and has been gainingmomentum in the UnitedStates over the past severalyears) grew out of the workof early 20th Century Frenchpoet Guillaume Apollinaire.
After seeing the motionpicture develop into a legiti-mate art form in the earlyyears of the 20th Century, shesaid, Apollinaire theorizedthat poets would one day befreed from the limitations ofthe printed page, and be ableto express their ideasthrough images alone.
Apollinaire, she said, triedto take the first step in thatprocess during his lifetimeby arranging his poems intodrawings (one famously tak-ing the shape of the EiffelTower), and digital poetsseek to complete the processby combining the writtenword with the new languageof the moving image.
As part of her doctorateprogram, Sullivan collabo-rated with a fellow poet fromBrooklyn to turn Apolli-naire's "Il Pleut" (in English,
"It Rains") into a digital po-em by creating a video inwhich the verses fall to thebottom of the screen likedrops of rain.
She and Lepson, she said,began discussing the idea ofcollaborating on a poemwhen Lepson invited her topresent a lecture on digitalpoetry at the Conservatory.
"Recapitulation," Sulli-van said, was based on Bar-

NEW DURHAM RESIDENT Mary Ann Sullivan's online literary magazine, The Tower Journal, has been gaininga worldwide audience in recent months.
Check out the stars May 14 in New DurhamNEW DURHAM — “We
fully anticipate an out of thisworld experience,” NewDurham Public Library’sChildren’s Librarian CathyAllyn said, referring to up-coming Astronomy Night onFriday, May 14. “Come pre-pared to see the sky like younever have before.”
Sponsored by the Friendsof the Library, the event fea-tures members of the NewHampshire AstronomicalSociety who bring with thema wide array of powerful tel-escopes. “Each person mansa telescope,” Library Direc-tor Max Crowe said, “so ifyou have any questions, oryou need a bit of perspectiveon what you’re looking at,they’re there to fill you in.”
“Or to help you up the lad-der,” Allyn added, “becauseone of their telescopes is solarge you can only reach theeyepiece with a step ladder.”
The set-up will be similarto the night sky-viewing ses-sions held monthly on thelawn of the Christa McAuli-
ffe Planetarium. Crowe saidthe event starts at 8 p.m., buttelescopes will begin to bereadied on the grassy area infront of the Post Office build-ing at 7:30 p.m.
“We’ll also have foodavailable and a family ‘star’craft at 7:30 at the library,”Allyn said. “It’s a great in-troduction to astronomy forkids, because these mega-tel-escopes allow you to see fea-tures of the planets andmoons, not just bright dots oflight.”
Library volunteer Beth-any Brown described lastyear’s viewing, as part of theSummer Reading Program,as “breath-taking.” She saidshe hoped all residentswould take advantage of theopportunity offered by the li-brary. “Seeing the planets upclose like that gives you a dif-ferent outlook when you seethem afterward.”
Allyn said the library hasexcellent resources concern-ing stargazing. “When wepurchased our telescope last
year, we saw a big increase in usage.”
Crowe reports many pa-trons are astronomy buffs.“Their eyes light up when wetell them about the event.”He suggested planning onstaying at least an hour. “Theimages get much sharper asit gets darker.” The Astro-nomical Society also recom-mends bringing bug spray, asweater and a warm drink.
The library asks that at-tendees bring their own tele-scopes if they have them. Noregistration is necessary andthe rain date for AstronomyNight is May 15. More infor-mation is available at the li-brary at 859-2201.
“We know from last yearthat this will be an amazingexperience,” Allyn said. “Onthe fun scale, it has a magni-tude of one.”
tok's practice of re-capitulat-ing, or repeating, the samemusical phrases over andover again in his composi-tions. The poem (which waswritten by Lepson), sheadded,centers on the feelingspeople experience when they"can't get out of the rut"they're in, and combines Lep-son's words with videofootage of the naturalscenery in and around NewDurham and the glass-encased pendulum on MainStreet in Concord (whichserves as a prominentmetaphor in the poem).
"Recapitulation" is cur-rently featured in the latestissue of The Tower Journal,which can be viewed onlineat www.towerjournal.com.
With the magazine prov-ing successful beyond herwildest dreams and a newpiece of her own now mak-ing waves, Sullivan is enor-mously proud to see that her efforts are no longer "hidden away up here in New Hampshire."
BRENDAN BERUBE ■Serving up community spiritA group of volunteers from the Appalachian Mountain Teen Project (AMTP) served up a generous helping of community spirit along with lunch lastweek at the Alton Senior Center, where they spent a day helping out in the kitchen and cleaning up the community garden as part of AMTP’s inter-generational outreach program.
Signs of springIt’s official: spring has arrived.Now, it’s great to see these same educators
being honored at the state level with many dif-ferent awards, and we want to join the chorus offolks stepping up to offer our congratulations toJoan Rees, Derek Pappaceno and Cathy Bond.There is no doubt that these three individualshave had a positive impact on the lives of thechildren in our communities, and we couldn’tbe more proud to report the news of theiraccomplishments. And we also know that thereare many more educators just like the three ofthem doing admirable work every day in thelocal schools.
The pathway of education in the new genera-tion is incredibly tricky, and nobody knows thatmore than those in the education profession.With standardized tests being a key marker inthe success or failure of a school (at least in thegovernment’s eyes), sometimes it can be hard tomix other things into the education that chil-dren are receiving every day.
We understand that standardized tests areimportant, but we also understand that thereare so many things beyond the standardizedtests that make an education complete, thingsthat kids will remember for the rest of theirlives, things that they will carry with them asthey leave the walls of the local educationalinstitutes and head out into the world.
Over the last few years, we’ve been more thanimpressed with the wide variety of opportuni-ties available to students at the local schools,and each year, more and more things becomeavailable. It’s necessary to allow education toevolve on a regular basis because our world isevolving so quickly.
While we know that government judgesschools on the scores students get on tests, it’snice to see that the New Hampshire Depart-ment of Education is honoring local educatorswho go beyond the test and bring their studentsreal world experience and unique perspectivesthat they may never find anywhere else.
We also know that the contract issue likelyweighs heavily on the minds of the teachers atAlton Central, yet it seems that they have stillstepped up to the plate and delivered in everysense of the word, and we couldn’t be happierthat they have found success. We know contractnegotiations are never easy, but it seems thatthese teachers haven’t let that get in the way ofmaking sure the kids are the top priority, andthat’s a major kudos to them.
It’s obvious to us that our local schools arefilled with teachers, staff and administratorsthat care a great deal about the children theyare charged with each and every day. And aftereach award is given to a local educator, thosewinners have expressed their gratitude, buthave shared the award with their colleagues.
Everyone knows that the education system inthis country is far from perfect, but we believethat mothers and fathers in our area can restassured that their kids are getting a top-notcheducational experience when they walkthrough the school doors each and every day.
To the Editor:In regards to a letter from a Tom
Mynczywor published April 22, “Cen-sus a little pushy”:
Enough is enough. I find I reprehen-sible that Mr. Mynczywor can comparethe census and those taking it to NaziGermany.
A dear family member is one of thosecensus takers. He has had to have a po-lice escort three times to do his job. Peo-ple have been extremely rude and con-frontational. This is a man who servedhis country as an infantry captain inthe Vietnam War. How dare he be compared to a Nazi! I too wore this country’s uniform as an infantry pla-toon sergeant.
Mr. Mynczywor apparently has not aclue to what Nazi Germany was like.Hitler threw out the country’s constitu-tion. Laws were passed making it illegalfor Jews to own property, hold jobs, at-tend school, own a business. Propertywas confiscated, people arrested, neigh-bor informed on neighbor. Hitler andhis Nazi thugs told the people what tothink, say, live.
I visited Dachau ConcentrationCamp, Hitler’s first. I witnessed the ovens, the death showers, the
hanging hooks.I’ve had it with people in this coun-
try, the greatest to ever exist with thebest form of government based on a con-stitution that is unique in this world,dishonoring those of us who took anoath to uphold this document. Men andwomen have died and spilled their bloodto uphold our free and extraordinarycountry.
Mr. Mynczywor, if we were like NaziGermany, you would not have the rightto write a letter to a newspaper becausethey had no free press. And to say “youdon’t think it can happen here? Don’tbet on it,” is in my opinion, just igno-rant of reality.
The rhetoric in this country that con-tinues to compare our form of govern-ment to Nazi Germany is ludicrous. Wehave to stop this.
Government of the people, for thepeople, by the people. Close to 500,000Americans died fighting Nazi Germanyand fascist Japan. My late father waswounded in France, awarded theBronze Star and Purple Heart defend-ing this country. We have to rememberwhere we all came from. We have tocome together as the free people we are.Mr. Mynczywor, you are obviously enti-
tled to your opinion and beliefs, as I amto mine.
Mr. Mynczywor cites the Constitu-tion Article I, Section 2, which estab-lishes the census. He states it does notsay anything about having to complywith a questionnaire. He does not statethat Article 1 continues that, “Enumer-ation will be done in such manner as bylaw direct.”
USC Title 13 (United States Code) ascodified, requires information to begathered including age, sex, name, so-cial, economic conditions and informa-tion is confidential.
The Bureau of Census was estab-lished by act of Congress on March 6,1902 (32 statute 51).
I don’t think Nazi Germany had toworry about acts of Congress.
My father-in-law, an American, de-serves better treatment from his fellowAmericans then what he has been re-ceiving. He is performing a duty that ishonorable, one originated by our found-ing fathers.
Mr. Mynczywor owes an apology.Nazi Germany indeed.

To the Editor:This past Saturday, thanks to the
leadership of local entrepreneurBernadette Kutcher and the sponsor-ship of Alton's leading businesses, morethan five dozen volunteers spread outover the streets and byways of Altonand picked up roadside trash. "AltonBeautification Day" has become an an-nual event and our community nowlooks the better for it.
Previous experience has shown,however, that beautification will not lastvery long. By this time next month youwill not be able to tell that some 500hours of volunteer labor were spentclearing Alton's roads of litter.
I find it incredulous that people moveto, and visit, New Hampshire for its sce-nic beauty, and then they proceed totrash the place!
Please, please, visitors and residents
alike, do not roll down your car windowand dispose of your trash by litteringthe countryside. What is so difficultabout dropping it in a bag hanging fromthe dashboard and then emptying it inyour regular trash stream at home?

To the Editor:The Transitions Forum evolved out
of a group of people in Barnstead aim-ing toward the ultimate concepts as setforth within Transitional Towns.
Transitional Towns work towardmoving a community away from de-pendency upon outside sources. Wewould like to share some of the ideasthat have come out of that process. Wefeel these experiences might help otherindividuals and groups who might belooking to move toward a more self-re-liant future.
In struggling to find direction, theTransition group was approached withan idea by a young man of 13, which henamed the “Barnstead Envelope.”
The idea was to imagine that you, asan entire town, awaken in a bubble withno outside communication, no outsidetransportation, no electricity from out-side the town. Nothing moves in or out.
What would you, as a community, as
an individual, as a group, need to sur-vive in the immediacy, then later, to sus-tain a comfortable existence?
All the ideas were later combined in-to categories. No idea or concept wasless important than any other. Each had its own unique priority and con-tribution. The beauty of this processwas clear.
Once all the ideas were combined, itwas evident that it took the brain-storming of not one person, but all thepeople together, to present an entire pic-ture of what makes up a community.The picture was entirely clear at thatpoint. What you see on this TransitionsForum is the culmination of all theneeds, as stated by this group of only 10people. The members of this group arenot rocket scientists; they are commonpeople of various ages, various back-grounds, and perspectives, at variouspoints in their lives.
Every endeavor puts members of the
group one step closer toward a life lessdependent upon the larger corporateworld. There is a great satisfaction inachieving, learning something new.That one small step in doing a simpleproject will lead to an understanding, sothat when you tackle a larger project,you will understand that process andincrease your comfort level.
We applaud those in the Transition-al Towns Group in Barnstead, and en-courage them to continue to strive to-ward their goals, whatever those goalsmight be. We thank them for their contributions that may help many in-dividuals and groups find their own direction.
We hope this forum of sharing, learn-ing and contributing ideas will be a lightupon a path for people everywhere.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR■
To the Editor:A small group of 10 people who live
in Barnstead have been meeting for thelast six weeks to consider how to bestprepare for the inevitable increase inthe price of oil, the impacts of climatechange and increasing concerns overfood quality.
Following in the footsteps of a world-wide movement called TransitionTowns, we have been brainstormingabout several possible ways to expresswhat we see as a need for gradual tran-sition away from our dependence on oil.
No one knows exactly when the priceof oil will skyrocket as supplies dwin-
dle, but we do know one thing for cer-tain — we do not have an inexhaustiblesupply, and we should adjust our livingsituations to get ready for when it oc-curs, rather than waiting for the mo-ment of crisis to begin planning.
We are compiling information andinvite participation in this project fromthe public. We look forward to the firstday of our local farmer’s market in June(date and location to be announced).
The next six-week session of meet-ings of the Transition group will be an-nounced in this paper.

Looking at life beyond oil
NUTRITION NOTESBY ELSPETH DANA
Contributing Writer
Habits, we all have them.Good, bad, annoying, produc-tive, pointless, you get theidea. The point is, no matter
what, we will always havehabits, so why not make them“good” habits, habits that willenhance our lives and makethem easier, and more enjoy-able. I, the former queen of
procrastination, certainlyhave found this a positivechange for me.
As humans we tend to becreatures of habit by nature.So as the famous Og Mandino
writes, “If we must be a slaveto our habits, why not makethem good habits?” Becausewe all know what bad habitscan do: They disrupt our lives,cause hurt to ourselves and
others and create much un-needed stress. And who needsany more of that? Not me.Good habits, however, createstructure in our busy, some-times chaotic lives. By creat-ing just one good habit yourwhole life can change; like-wise with a bad one. Habitstend to have a domino effect:When you follow one goodhabit this will reflect into oth-er parts of your life. So it’syour choice: Do you want tosink or swim?
Introducing regular work-outs and meal planning intoeveryday tasks are goodhabits that will improve thequality of life. I make habitsof planning my meals, keep-ing a food and workout jour-nal, and setting a time to workout in order to keep myself ontrack towards my goals, (somy space cadet mind doesn’ttake over). I do this, not justbecause I’m an organization-al nut, but also because I feelaccomplished when I reachmy goals. And when my goalsare not met, I know what I didwrong and what I need to donext time around to ensurethey are met. I not only enjoythese tasks, but I actually lookforward to them. Who knewdiet and exercise could be sobeneficial and fun.
For me, by committing tothe good habits of eating welland working out consistently,other good habits haveformed was well, knocking
down the bad ones with avengeance. Through my pas-sion to eat clean I began tolearn to cook; started writingto share my experiences andendeavors; and began to im-prove and excel in my profes-sional life because of becom-ing more organized and goalfocused. As the old sayinggoes, the world is my oyster.And it can be yours too.
The feeling of accomplish-ment and trying new thingshas given me the courage tostrive for goals that I neverthought possible. Being some-one who often feels over-whelmed when met with ob-stacles, I’ve noticed a com-plete change in my outlook onlife. I feel excited to meet eachday, and more equipped to bat-tle challenges.
Its not to say that oldhabits, bad habits, won’tsneak up from time to time;they will. But by formingyour own personal core ofgood habits, and sticking tothem, eventually you will beable kick even the worst ofbad habits. For me, creatinghabits that support a healthylifestyle have been my key tohappiness. Create habits thatsupport your goals, and youwill find your own success aswell.

Fire department grant items approved by selectmen BY BILLY PERKINS
Contributing Writer
NEW DURHAM — Se-lectmen voted in favor of ac-cepting a grant awarded tothe town’s fire department tohelp purchase new equip-ment after holding a publichearing on the issue Mondaynight.
The grant, which wasmade possible through theAssistance to FirefightersGrant Program by the De-partment of Homeland Secu-rity, awarded $64,600 to thefire department to purchaseapparatus.
Among the equipment be-ing purchased with the funds
is a Pymovent Station Ex-haust System for $38,000, a re-mote light tower and otherlighting equipment for$17,100, and a Stryker PowerStretcher for $9,500.
Ninety-five percent of thefunds are being paid for bythe grant awarder, but thetown has to put up five per-cent of the $64,600. Thetown’s portion for the Stryk-er Power Stretcher and light-ing equipment is coming outof the fire department’sbudget.
No residents came for-ward to question the grantduring the public hearing,and selectmen quickly
passed a motion accepting it.“I’m all good,” Selectman
David Bickford said, notingthat he has no objections tothe grant and affirming hissupport for it along with hiscolleagues.
Selectmen held a concur-rent public hearing after vot-ing to accept the grant to al-low for the town’s five per-cent portion of the costs ofthe Pymovent Station Ex-haust System to be takenfrom the Town Buildings Im-provement ExpendableTrust Fund. The cost for thetown from that fund amountsto $2,000.
After no one in attendance
objected to the money beingtaken from that fund, select-men unanimously passed amotion granting it.
Selectmen also passed amotion that waves the town’spurchase policy for theequipment.
“For the most part, theseare sole service items,”board Chairwoman Terry
Jarvis said, explaining thatsome of the equipment be-ing purchased with the grant is only manufacturedby one company.
A hatful of bids
Selectmen also reviewed anumber of bids for town
equipment and town projectsMonday night.
They accepted a bid of$407.77 for the police depart-ment’s 2001 Ford Crown Vic-toria from the N.H. CheckerCab Company.
They also awarded a bidfor crushed gravel for thetown’s gravel pit to MerrillConstruction, Inc. Out offour bidders, Merrill was thelowest, offering 7,000 tons ofgravel at $2.40 per ton.
Road Agent Mark Fullersaid since the bid was rela-tively low and well within thebudgeted funds for gravel, hewould like to get 10,000 tonsof gravel from Merrill.
Jarvis said that he coulddo that because he still hasthat money available in hisbudget, but the bid would beaccepted at 7,000 tons, aswritten.
Selectmen also receivedword from Fuller of bids forroad paving and shoulderwork on designated roads.Out of four bidders, the low-est was RD Torno and Sons,but since the town has notworked with RD Torno in thepast, selectmen decided tohold off on awarding the biduntil Fuller can check with
other communities on thequality of the company’swork.
Other business
In other business, Fuller,who currently oversees themanagement of the town’stransfer station, presentedselectmen with a prelimi-nary proposal to change thesetup of the station. He’llhave an engineer look at the proposal and will keep selectmen abreast with anynew information regard-ing it.
Selectmen also receiveddepartmental updates fromseveral department heads,discussed the town’s agree-ment with CMA Engineeringand met in a brief non-pub-lic session with Building In-spector and Code EnforcerArthur Capello to discuss le-gal matters.
Next meeting
Selectmen have scheduleda work session for Monday,May 10, at 7 p.m. at TownHall.
Their next business meet-ing has been scheduled forMonday, May 17, at 7 p.m. atTown Hall.

Education is one of thosefields that quickly and regu-larly adopts jargon. Some-times there are so manywords and acronyms thrownaround that it’s hard to keepup. For example, a teachermight suggest that the ad-ministration hold a CST for a student at L2 in DSP,which is considered NP inmath (huh?). A very impor-tant term that is used fre-quently but not complete-ly understood is the term “intervention.”
At its most basic defini-tion, intervention applies toany form of recognizing aneed for “adjusted educa-tion.” These adjustments,however, come in manyshapes and forms. At AltonCentral School, we considerappropriate interventions asour way of making sure we’regiving each individual stu-dent the support he/sheneeds to achieve his/her best.It is a great tribute to our spe-cial education faculty andstaff at ACS that we madeAYP this year. It is largely dueto their intervention strate-gies and follow-through thatthis population of studentsmade such tremendousgrowth.
A student with a diagnosededucational disability will
have an IEP (IndividualizedEducation Plan), whichmakes specific recommenda-tions for daily accommoda-tions. These can include ex-tra time on tests, an aidethroughout the day, or manyother available options. A stu-dent without a diagnosed dis-ability might need extra sup-port for other reasons, some-times emotional or health-re-lated concerns, and this stu-dent might need a “504” plan.This helps these accom-modations go into all consid-erations of this student’slearning.
On a more specific level, astudent who is not perform-ing at grade level in readingor math has a variety of op-tions available depending onwhat is deemed best for himor her. Through teacher rec-ommendation, parent confer-ences, and placement testing,a student might be placed inTitle I. Title I is a federallyfunded program that helpsschools support additionalstaff and materials to workwith students to be able tocomplete work that is consis-tent with others at that gradelevel. Once the student is per-forming at grade level in thesubject, the Title I teachersmeet with the student’steacher to determine if theyshould be released from theprogram’s services.
There are also studentswho don’t qualify for Title I,but they still need extra sup-port in class. For these stu-dents, we provide interven-tion by having additionalpara-educators in the classesto support the students whoneed it.
A common misconceptionof intervention is that it is on-ly for students who are not do-ing well. The Enrichment/Gifted and Talented programat ACS is another means ofproviding intervention forthose students who needmore than what is providedin their regular classes.Theseexperiences provide somechallenging and creative op-portunities for students whoare ready to move forward.
Another common miscon-ception is that one interven-tion applies to one student. Inmany cases, students have
multiple interventions; wetry to make sure they are re-ceiving whatever help theyneed while also not givingthem too many interventions,since an overload of servicescould disrupt their school day.A student with an IEP may al-so receive Enrichment timebecause he or she excels in aspecific area. Another stu-dent may need small-groupinstruction in addition to regular classroom time be-cause he or she needs morereinforcement.
The point is, interventionis not a group process. It iscustom-made for each stu-dent who needs it, and plansare put into place to regular-ly check on its progress. In-tervention is really whereACS’s motto, “Small enoughto create a safe environmentthat inspires each child to ex-cel,” comes to life.

Pittsfield Players bring “Doubt” to the stage this weekendBY BRENDAN BERUBE
Staff Writer
PITTSFIELD — For Sis-ter Aloysius Beauvier, theregimented lifestyle withinthe walls of the St. NicholasSchool offers shelter fromthe social and political up-heavals raging in the out-side world.
As the school’s principal,Aloysius rules with an ironfist, viewing herself and thenuns under her charge asgatekeepers protecting thechildren from the winds ofchange sweeping both theCatholic Church and thecountry as a whole in theearly 1960s.
This self-described fiercemoral guardian has noroom in her world for theyouthful optimism of thenewly-arrived Sister Jamesor the reforms of Vatican II,and has certainly never hadreason to doubt her own be-liefs … until her perfectly-ordered world is thrown in-to turmoil by the arrival ofFather Brendan Flynn.
The clash of wills be-tween the liberal-mindedFather Flynn and the un-yieldingly conservative Sister Aloysius drives JohnPatrick Shanley’s play“Doubt: A Parable,” whichtakes to the Pittsfield Players’ stage at the his-toric Scenic Theatre thisweekend.
The storyline of“Doubt,” which Shanley setin the fall of 1964, centerson Aloysius’ suspicionsthat Flynn has developed aninappropriate relationshipwith Donald Muller, theschool’s first African Amer-ican student.
In keeping with its title,the play leaves the questionof Flynn’s guilt or inno-cence unresolved, allowingaudiences to come to theirown conclusions.
First produced off Broad-way in 2004, “Doubt” be-came an enormous success,and was adapted into a crit-ically acclaimed film in2008, with Meryl Streep andPhillip Seymour Hoffmanearning Oscar nominationsfor their performances asAloysius and Flynn.
Mal Cameron, a veteranPittsfield Player who has ap-peared in the group’s pro-ductions of “Fiddler on theRoof,” “12 Angry Men,” and“Man of La Mancha,” saidthat seeing the film versionof “Doubt” was a major fac-tor in his decision to directthe stage play.
“I was drawn to “Doubt”primarily because it fea-tures an ensemble cast of only four characters,who each face challenges of their own as they dealwith the ‘winds of change’taking place in 1964,” he explained.
The fact that “Doubt”won a Tony award as theBest Play of 2005 and, later,a Pulitzer Prize for Dramamade it even more attrac-tive, he added.
“After seeing the movieversion, which was writtenand directed by the originalauthor, John Patrick Shan-ley, that clinched it for me …I wanted to do this play!” hesaid, thanking the PittsfieldPlayers’ Board of Directorsfor the opportunity.
As a director, Cameronsaid, “it’s so much fun towatch the cast membersevolve into ‘becoming’ theircharacters.”
The cast, he explained,starts out walking aroundwith scripts in hand, thenlearns the lines well enoughto get rid of the books andstart delving into their newpersonae more deeply.
“My job is to help them inthat process, and to keepthem from running intoeach other on-stage,” hesaid.
“This cast has four tal-ented actors who have nev-er worked together beforethis show, but they have be-come a true ensemble overthe past few weeks, andtheir characters have reallycome alive,” he added.
Marie Klinedinst, whoportrays Sister Aloysius,said the play’s subject matter was what first attracted her.
“We continue to hearabout this issue in thenews,” she said, “and I felt itimportant that people weremade to think — two sidesto every story, so to speak —and that there is alwaysdoubt in every aspect of oc-currences in life.”
The most enjoyable partof the process for her, shesaid, has been working withher fellow cast members,who always manage to in-ject humor into rehearsalsdespite the fact that the sub-ject matter “gets to be pret-ty intense.”
“They say humor is thebest medicine, and we man-age a good dose of it everytime we meet,” she added.
The most challenging as-pect of the role, she ex-plained, has been portray-ing Aloysius’ personalityand character.
“She is a very bitter,strict, domineering and ‘herway or no way’ person,”Klinedinst said. “There isno gray in her life, onlyblack and white, and attimes, for me, that’s beenvery difficult to portray.”
“It is a role so differentfrom what I’ve done in thepast — I’ve been involvedprimarily in musical the-ater — and this role hasbeen challenging, but I havelearned so much of what mycapabilities are,” she added.
Klinedinst hopes that au-diences leave “Doubt” witha sense that things are notalways black and white; thatthere are doubts on bothsides of every situation, andthat the “winds of change”bring with them situationsthat will always arise, “leav-ing people pitted againsteach other who will be
judged, no matter who isright or who is wrong.”
“The ‘truth,’” she said,“is in the soul of the believer.”
Appearing as SisterJames, an enthusiasticyoung nun eager to pleasethe demanding Aloysiuswho finds herself caught inthe middle of the battle be-tween Aloysius and Flynn,is Sarah Rogers, who co-starred with Cameron in“Fiddler on the Roof.”
Rogers, who has beenaway from the theater for “along time,” said she audi-tioned for “Doubt” becauseshe missed performing.
“This play in particularinterested me because it’s aserious role,” she added.“I’ve only ever done comedyor musicals, so it was a wel-come change.”
Like Klinedinst, Rogersfound working with hercastmates to be the most en-joyable aspect of theprocess.
“I have loved watchingeveryone develop their char-acters as we shed the booksand really start putting thisplay together,” she said.
The most challenging as-pect of bringing SisterJames to life, she explained,has been the dichotomy be-tween the innocent, “seem-ingly oblivious” manner inwhich James presents her-self and the certain “sly-ness” that leads her to re-port her suspicions aboutFlynn to Aloysius.
“She seems to know morethan she lets on, and be a bitbraver than she’d like to ad-mit,” Rogers said. “It’s diffi-cult to convey that with theright subtlety.”
Asked what she hoped au-diences would take awayfrom the play, Rogers repliedsimply, “Doubt!”
“After reading the au-thor’s notes in the script, Ihave been thinking moreand more about our soci-ety’s need for a ‘clear con-clusion,’” she explained.“The fact is that life’s sto-ries rarely have endings,and we never know as muchas we think we do.
“Hopefully, audienceswill take away the idea thatlife doesn’t need to bewrapped in a bow, and thatit is O.K. to wonder, doubt,and not know.”
The cast of “Doubt” alsoincludes Brendan Berube asFather Flynn and DeniseRichardson as DonaldMuller’s mother, who issummoned by Sister Aloy-
sius in the hope that shemight provide evidence ofwrongdoing on Flynn’s part,only to hit Aloysius with arevelation that leaves hershaken to the core.
For Cameron, the processof bringing “Doubt” to thestage involved many chal-lenges — not the least ofwhich, he said, was the pres-sure of having to re-designthe set when his originalideas didn’t pan out.
Cameron also had to findappropriate music andsound effects for the show,research and oversee thecreation of the costumes,and come up with a lightingdesign.
“In other words, all thebehind-the-scenes work thatis needed to bring the illu-
sion together for an audi-ence,” he said. “Fortunately,we have a great team for thisshow, for whom I am im-mensely grateful.”
Audiences, Cameronsaid, should remember that,“this story is a ‘parable.’”
“There is a lesson — amoral — that is to be learnedfrom the interaction ofthese characters,” he said,explaining that even thoughthe setting of the play is aCatholic school in the Bronxin 1964 and the main char-acters are a nun and a priest,the “winds of change” theyface could easily be trans-ferred to another setting —perhaps a workplace, orwithin a family.
“One thing is sure,” headded. “You will really get
to know these people.”The Pittsfield Players’
production of “Doubt: AParable” opens tomorrowevening (Friday, May 7) at 8 p.m., with additional per-formances to follow on Sat-urday, May 8, at 8 p.m.; Sun-day, May 9, at 2 p.m.; Friday,May 14, at 8 p.m.; and Satur-day, May 15, at 8 p.m.

Zuess looking for a new family to pleaseLACONIA — His owners
said they were going for aride, so he eagerly jumped inthe car. They drove aroundtown visiting all the familiarplaces until they arrived atPlymouth Pet and Aquarium.He figured they were going tobuy the regular dog food ormaybe a new toy.Instead,they
left him tied up outside, con-fused as he watched his fami-ly drive away.
They took about a minuteto scribble a hasty note say-ing, “my name is Zuess.Please find me a good home.Good with kids,likes to be out-side. Very loved, very sad.”
What he didn’t understand
is why they didn’t just takehim to the New HampshireHumane Society, where hecould have been immediatelycared for, rather than leavinghim outside a retail pet store.
Traffic control picked himup and brought him to the an-imal shelter anyway. He loveseveryone at the New Hamp-
shire Humane Society. Thestaff have put him on a regu-lar feeding schedule, he’s had“the operation” and is mak-ing friends.
He truly doesn’t under-stand what he did to be dis-carded like that,but he is will-ing to join another family,with children he can playwith. He is just about twoyears old,big,sturdy, loveableand wants to please a family.

WOLFEBORO — It’s beena long time since KingswoodRegional High School seniorNick Moulton played the partof a Munchkin in a Kings-wood Summer Theatre pro-duction of “The Wizard ofOz,” but the experience hasstayed with him. He recentlyreceived an All Star CastAward for Excellence in Act-ing at the New Hampshire Ed-ucational Theatre Guild’sState Drama Festival, whichtook place on March 26 and 27at Gilford High School – andit’s not his first.
Moulton played the part ofGreg in the play, “Branding2012,” written by Kingswoodstudent Clay Skinner. Thecast made it to the state levelfollowing a regional competi-tion held at Plymouth Re-gional High School on March20. It’s a process that Moultonis familiar with. He won theRobert A. Stuart MemorialAward from the Guild lastyear for overall best perform-ance, an honor that he saysstill takes him aback.
From that first perform-ance as a Munchkin at the ageof seven, when he “was nerv-ous as all get out,” he’s
learned to deal with thenerves and jitters. “It’s kindof addicting,” he says. “It’s anadrenaline rush to let loose infront of an audience.”
“No matter what characteryou’re asked to play,” Moul-ton reflects, “you’ll find thatlittle part in yourself andbring it out.” He says that

KINGSWOOD REGIONAL HIGHSCHOOL SENIOR Nick Moultonrelaxes for an interview about twoof his passions in life — acting andmusic. He received an All Star CastAward for Excellence in Acting atthe New Hampshire EducationalTheatre Guild’s State DramaFestival on March 26 and 27.
Kingswood drama teacherScott Geisler gives his actorsparameters, and they workfrom there. Preparing for arole involves asking ques-tions, says Moulton, such as“How do I picture this char-acter? Where does he live?What would I do in that situ-ation, or see, think, feel orsay? What would I wear?”
Two of his favorite actorsare the versatile JohnnyDepp, who some say he re-sembles, and Heath Ledger(for his character dedica-tion). “He embodies the char-acter,” says Moulton. “Hedoesn’t hold back.” He isthoughtful about the charac-ters he has played on theKingswood stage. Each hasdemanded something differ-ent. Sometimes you have tolet go of yourself, forget whoyou are, muses Moulton; oth-er times a character hits clos-er to home.
The young thespian saysthat the acting bug bit his old-er brother,Alex, too,at an ear-ly age. “Both our parents saidit was a sleeper kind ofthing,” he says, for neither ofthem acted or claim any mu-sical talent, another strongpassion of his. “ My mom’sput up with late nights when

Kingswood students participatein Youth and Government
CONCORD – The YMCAsof New Hampshire held theirannual New HampshireYouth and Government Pro-gram in Concord in March,involving 30 schools and 330teens and school advisors/YMCA volunteers.
The motto of the YMCAYouth and Government Pro-gram is “Democracy must be
learned by each generation.”In Concord, the students hadthe opportunity to experi-ence state government byelecting their own youth offi-cials, debating bills andlearning about the demo-cratic process.
The Carroll County YM-CA and Camp Belknap spon-sored 19 students from both
Kennett High School andKingswood Regional HighSchool to attend this year’ssession. Also in attendancewere advisors Katy Meserveand Ken Joy from KingswoodRegional High School andJody Skelton, Kara Coutureand Mark Cadman from theCarroll County YMCA.
I’m staying up talking to my-self – running lines to see howthe vocalization plays out inbody language…she’s comein asking if I’m okay whenshe’s heard me crying, and I’lltell her, ‘Just acting, Mom.’”
As he was growing up, hesays he played hockey,lacrosse and football, so wasusually involved in a sport forthree seasons each year, butno longer. He’s had to makechoices between sports andacting because there is al-ways a fall show and anotherlater in the school year, butthat’s what he loves to do.
Now in the last quarter ofhis senior year, with hiscourse requirements ful-filled, he plays in the sym-
phonic band every day, andthe chorus, and takes musictheory. He also has an inde-pendent study with music di-rector Don Liedtke in musicsoloing, in which he focuseson expanding his guitarskills. He’s set himself up inthe practice room and prac-tices finger exercises so hecan play all six strings withone hand and works on chordparameters.
“Music helped me out of arough patch,” he says. Duringthat time, “I started to feel themusic. It courses through mybody like a pulse. …Acting isfun, a blast, it helps me figuremyself out, but music is thatear that listens to me and thatvoice that speaks.”
He says that Geisler taughthim about recording music,placing microphones forsound, and managing the“house” in multi-media class,and he’d like to record an al-bum. His job at the WolfeboroInn, where he says he is moreor less “a jack of all trades”three days a week afterschool, is a means to hisdream of making a record album.
College choices are comingup. No matter where he goes,theater offerings will be a crit-ical factor in his decision, andfor someone who keepsadding additional instru-ments (lately, the trombone)to his repertoire, certainlymusic will have a place.

close, with the engine blocksshowing signs of increasingwear and tear.
An excerpt fromMorash’s online blog thatwas handed out to local me-dia representatives duringthe cruise explained thatwith the Enterprise compa-ny no longer in existence,making replacement partsvery expensive and hard tofind, the decision was madelast year to dismantle the oldengines and replace themwith the Caterpillars.
Morash explained in hisblog that the process of re-fitting the Mount with newengines was an extensiveone, involving three phases.
Phase One, he wrote, en-tailed cutting a small hole inthe side of the ship; extract-ing the old engines;re-vamp-ing the engine foundations;dismantling the old exhaustsystem and preparing theexisting shaft couplings forthe new engines.
Phase Two involved ex-haust work, rigging, piping,wiring controls, and ballastwork, while Phase Threesaw the new engines beingtested out on the lake.
During Monday’s Shake-down Cruise, Morash pub-licly thanked the contrac-tors who assisted with theproject, and presented eachof them with a piece of theold Enterprise engines as akeepsake.
The re-powering of theMount, he said, was one ofonly nine projects through-out the Northeast to receivegrant funding from the EPA,and the only project in NewHampshire.
According to EPA esti-mates, the Caterpillar en-gines could reduce the ship’semissions by as much as 90percent.
Along with the installa-tion of the new engines, thiswinter also saw the for-ward portion of the Mount’ssecond deck remodeled to create a new Captain’sLounge, which will pro-vide passengers with a 270-degree view of Lake Win-nipesaukee and the sur-rounding mountains.
The décor of the newlounge was designed to hon-or those who have captained
the Mount over the past 15years.
With its new source ofpower below deck, and a re-modeled interior, the Mountwill be plying the waters ofLake Winnipesaukee for its138th season this year — afact that Alton SelectmanPeter Bolster said is em-blematic of the ship’s deepconnection to the history ofthe area.
“I think it’s a real tie tothe heritage and history ofthe lake,” Bolster said, ex-plaining that the Mount andits predecessors made it pos-sible for earlier generationsto turn the lake into a “com-mercial highway” beforeroads or rail service arrivedin the region.
The Mount, he said, is avital link to both the eco-nomic and recreational her-itage of the Lakes Region.
“I think it’s the one thingthat ties us back to earliertimes on the lake,” he added.“There’s nothing else thatreally ties all the way backto that early period of set-tlement.”
For Gov. John Lynch, theMount serves as a symbol ofwhat the Lakes Regionmeans to New Hampshire.
“I see it as a symbol ofwhat’s so special about the
region,” Lynch said beforedisembarking from theShakedown Cruise at WeirsBeach.
The appearance of theMount on the lake eachspring, he said, has histori-cally signaled the start oftourist season, and provideshigh visibility for every-thing the area has to offer.
For those reasons, headded, “it’s always been spe-cial to me.”
The Mount Washington’s138th season officially getsunder way Sunday, May 9,with the 2010 Mother’s DayChampagne Brunch Cruise,during which passengerswill be treated to live enter-tainment as they cruise theBig Lake, departing fromWeirs Beach at 10 a.m. and1:30 p.m.
Another special cruiselined for this season will bethe Mount’s Salute to Ser-vice Men and Women on Sat-urday, May 29, during whichfirefighters, policemen, andU.S. Military personnel(both active and retired) canenjoy a night of dinner anddancing on the lake at a dis-counted price.
During Memorial Dayweekend (May 29-31), anypassenger with a valid mili-tary ID (either active or re-
tired) will be able to cruisethe lake at a discountedprice of $10 per person, withcruises departing fromWeirs Beach, Alton Bay andWolfeboro.
Children under 13 willcruise for free that sameweekend (Saturday throughMonday) from all ports.
The M/S Mount Wash-ington features four levels,three dance floors and sev-eral outside areas for enjoy-ing the cruise during thedaytime or evening. Thefamily-owned ship operatesfrom May through October,offering daytime scenic,evening dinner and dance,and special themed cruises.
With a capacity of 1,250passengers, the Mountserves as the largest restau-rant in the state,and is a pop-ular gathering for schoolproms, college reunions,large corporate celebra-tions, and weddings. Nearly700 couples have been joinedin marriage aboard the ship.

movement of stormwatersediment, Kretchmer said,adding that when vegetationis removed and replaced withshort grass lawns, impervi-ous roads, culverts, or pave-ment, rain water movesacross the land much faster,picking up four to eight timesas much sediment as it wouldin an undeveloped area.
Describing some actionsand practices that towns andprivate landowners can useto mitigate the impact ofphosphorous, Kretchmersaid the first step is to stopusing fertilizers that containphosphorous, or (better yet,in his opinion) prohibit theuse of fertilizers altogether.
The second step, he said,is to replace out-dated septicsystems with new systemscapable of filtering out morephosphorous.
The third major step,
Kretchmer said, is to makeminor changes in the man-agement of roads, drain-age systems, landscaping,and development practices,none of which are costlymeasures.
Roads, he said, should in-cline from the middle downto the sides, so that the mid-dle does not become a high-speed transmission area forsediment.
There should also be fre-quent cut-outs from the roadto ditches, he said, addingthat ditches should be vege-tated and designed to slowdown water movement andincrease the infiltration ofwater into the ground.
Landscaping, Kretchmersaid,should involve less lawnand more extensive vegeta-tion, and should also includebasins or rain gardens thatallow water to stop movingand infiltrate the ground.
The book "Landscaping at
the Water's Edge," publishedby UNH, offers an excellentguide to landscaping man-agement, he said.
The most effective way totackle the issue of phospho-rous, he explained, isthrough a watershed planthat looks at a single water-shed area and identifies theproblems and the level orrisk.
Starting with those water-sheds at most risk, he added,specific remediation planscan be developed using a
combination of public edu-cation, incentives, communi-ty pressure, and regulation.
Kretchmer estimated thatthe development of a water-shed plan would cost $60,000to $80,000, which he saidcould be funded through acombination of state grants,local in-kind services andmatching funds from thetown.
this?" Landry asked, seek-ing ideas on how to proceed.
"What are our parame-ters?" Kowalski replied,adding that it sounded toher as though "we're debat-ing the definition of 're-placement.'"
"I voted as it was repre-sented to us," committeemember Brian White said,explaining that he had sup-ported the proposal to re-place the old cruiser.
In the past, he comment-ed, voters have been knownto send back vehicles andequipment purchased withmoney appropriated at townmeeting if they decided lat-er that the article had beenmisrepresented in someway.
Kerr suggested that theselectmen could take anoth-er vote on the matter.
"Virtually anything canbe brought up again for an-other vote," he asked.
Grey suggested that thecommittee send a letter tothe board of selectmen out-lining their concerns, andasking the board to re-con-sider its earlier vote.
In his mind, he said, theselectmen's decision haderoded the trust they andthe budget committee havebuilt over the past two yearsby working together morethan they have in the past.
"When you look me in theeye and tell me something"and then go back on that, hesaid, "the trust that we hadstarts to go away with me."
Noting that the select-men planned to meet withBorgia this past Tuesday(May 4), Landry said hewould be attending thatmeeting, and suggested thatother committee membersjoin him, explain thethought process behindtheir own vote on Article 6,and ask the selectmen to re-consider their decision.
While he had "no prob-lem" going to the DRA,Landry said he did not feelit was the budget commit-tee's job to file a complaintwith the state.
"Once we make our rec-ommendations, our job isdone," he said.
Kowalski said her pri-
mary concern was how Gril-lo, Houle, and LaRoche ar-rived at the decision to keepthe old cruiser in servicewhen the original intentwas to replace it.
"How did those three se-lectmen make that leap?"she asked.
Kerr explained that Bor-gia had suggested the cruis-er could be used for prison-er transport or spare parts.
Chuckling at the idea ofusing the cruiser for prison-er transport, Haynes saidthat if it cannot safely carryofficers, it should not beused to carry prisoners.
At most, Haynes said hecould envision the cruiserbeing used by the town as anadministrative vehicle inorder to cut down on the costof mileage reimbursement.
"The concern there isthat we'd need to have oneperson responsible for it,"Kerr commented.
White said he was wor-ried about the "misrepre-sentation issue" leading to a"knee-jerk reaction" amongvoters the next time a simi-lar proposal comes forward.
"The voters won't forgetthis, and we need to bearthat in mind in the future,"Landry replied.
While he understood therationale behind White'sconcerns, Landry said he"wouldn't want to take away[the police department's]ability to buy the vehicle."
Haynes commented thatif he had drafted the War-rant article, and had intend-ed to keep the old cruiser inservice, he would have stip-ulated in the article that thecruiser would be main-tained.
Grey suggested that thetwo new selectmen who vot-ed in favor of keeping thecruiser should have takenan opportunity educatethemselves on how Warrantarticles work before ques-tioning the intent behindArticle 6.
Ultimately, the commit-tee agreed with Landry'sproposal to approach the se-lectmen during their May 4meeting.
[Editor's note: Con-tributing Writer BillyPerkins' report on the April20 meeting corroboratesHaynes' depiction of events.Kerr, who serves as the se-lectmen's representative tothe budget committee, saidHaynes' account alsomatched his recollection ofwhat took place during themeeting.]
By the end of the meet-ing, however, Haynes saidhe and LaRoche had agreedto "let bygones be bygones."
"What I voted for wasn'tto keep [the old cruiser]," hesaid, explaining that he hadvoted to recommend pas-sage of Article 6 because asa state trooper himself, hefound Borgia's concernsabout safety "compelling."
Noting that some com-mittee members had con-tacted officials at the stateDepartment of Revenue Ad-ministration to ask whetherthe selectmen's vote was le-gal, and had received differ-ent opinions (which he saidhe did not find surprising,given the fact that a re-sponse from the DRA oftendepends on the exact word-ing of the question beingasked), Landry said he re-cently spoke with his owncontact at the DRA, who toldhim she was hesitant to "getin the middle of it."
Stating that he "vividly"recalled being told by Bor-gia during a work sessionearlier this year that the oldcruiser would be replacedbecause it was unsafe,Landry asked the remain-ing committee memberswhat their recollectionswere.
Committee memberCathy Kowalski said she re-

BARNSTEAD: Issue was going to selectmen Tuesdaymembered Borgia being "ve-hement about removingthat car from the [police de-partment's] fleet."
School board representa-tive Diane Beijer said thataccording to her recollec-tion of events, Borgia want-ed to keep the old cruiser inservice, and it was the com-mittee that recommended itbe replaced with the newervehicle.
Kerr noted that Borgiahad told the committee oneof his command officersliked the old cruiser, and feltthat it would last a bit longerif he was the only one driv-ing it.
Kowalsi rememberedthere being a discussionabout the possibility oftransferring the old cruiser
to another town depart-ment, such as the HighwayDepartment.
Committee memberBruce Grey said he had beenpresent for Borgia's initialpresentation to the select-men on Article 6, and re-called no mention of the oldcruiser being kept in serv-ice.
"[Borgia] said very muchthe same thing to us," headded.
Haynes said his chiefconcern with the idea ofholding onto the old cruiserwas with leaving it fullymarked and equipped.
"If the equipment isstripped out of it, that's an-other issue," he said, ex-plaining that he had votedto support Article 6 in the
hope that some of the equip-ment from the old cruisercould be transferred into thenew vehicle, saving the po-lice department from hav-ing to utilize the entire$30,000 appropriation.
Beijer commented thataccording to her recollec-tion of the work session onthe town Warrant, the se-lectmen had made their in-tention to replace the oldcruiser very clear.
Kerr explained that whenthe selectmen drew up thetown Warrant earlier thisyear (before Grillo andLaRoche joined the board),their intent was to replacethe old cruiser with the newvehicle.
"There was no questionas to what 'replacement'

Public vs. private: It just makes no sense, at least to me
I thoroughly enjoy highschool sports, but one thingthat’s always bothered meabout high school sports inNew Hampshire is the inclu-sion of private schools incompetition against publichigh schools.
Schools like BrewsterAcademy, Proctor Academy,Hebron Academy and Kim-ball Union Academy com-pete with other private/prepschools on a completely dif-ferent schedule. In my mind,this is the right way to dothings, being as the schoolsare allowed to recruit stu-dents to their campuses fromaround the world.
So, I can’t help but wonderwhy a number of privateschools are part of the NewHampshire InterscholasticAthletic Association andcompete against publicschools on a regular basis. St.Thomas Aquinas of Doverand Bishop Brady of Con-cord compete in Class I, Bish-op Guertin of Nashua com-petes in Class L and Derry-field School competes inClass S.
To me, this seems com-pletely wrong. While I don’t
know the exact details ofhow they can bring in stu-dents, I do know that kids cancome from anywhere to at-tend these schools and alsoplay for their school’s athlet-ic teams.
Since I don’t know exactly,I would be interested inknowing how a school like St.Thomas differs so much froma school like Brewster that itis allowed to compete againstpublic high schools. I surelyknow that if Prospect Moun-tain, Kingswood or Kennettwent out and recruited stu-dents, the school’s teamswould be banned from com-petition. People might saythat St. Thomas or BishopBrady or Bishop Guertin orDerryfield don’t recruit forathletics, but rather for aca-demics, but to me, recruitingis still recruiting, no matterwhich way you slice it.
In my mind, these schoolsshould be in a separate divi-
sion, competing against eachother with other privateschools who also can bring instudents from around thecountry. I wonder if St.Thomas baseball, BishopBrady softball or Derryfieldtennis would be as dominantif they were competingagainst other schools that re-cruit athletes or if they wereonly allowed to use athletesfrom the towns in which theyare located.
How can any traditionalpublic school expect to com-pete against a team that cango out and bring players in toimprove their team. Theseprivate schools’ inclusion inthe traditional NHIAA stand-ings creates an uneven play-ing field for the schools whomust abide by the rules thatprohibit recruiting.
Finally, have a good day,Dennis Coughlin.

SOMERSWORTH —There were still some mis-takes, but the ProspectMountain baseball team’ssecond chance with Somer-sworth was much betterthan the first chance.
The Timber Wolvesplayed relatively solid de-fensive baseball on Friday,April 30, in Somersworthbut made a couple of crucialbase running blunders thatspoiled any chance of a win,as the ‘Toppers took a 5-3victory at Nivers Field.
Prospect opened thegame up with two hits and awalk in the first inning, asAnthony Frangione andDanny Miller had base hits.However, Frangione waspicked off first after leadingoff the game with a hit. Bri-an Jones walked with twoouts, but the Timber Wolvescouldn’t push the runacross.
Centerfielder Pat Cassidymade a diving grab of a linedrive in the bottom of thefirst inning to keep the hostsoff the board and freshmanAndrew Hederman struckout the final batter of the in-ning to keep the game score-less through one inning.
After the Timber Wolveswent quietly in the second,the ‘Toppers got on the
board. A double and a one-out sacrifice grounder put arunner on third base and abase hit scored the game’sfirst run.
Prospect went quietlyagain in the third, butSomersworth made a bit ofnoise in the bottom of theinning. A pair of base hits,an error, a double and an-other base hit made it 4-0 infavor of the hosts. Heder-man settled down and got a
popup and a pair ofgrounders to get out of theinning.
Prospect got on the boardin the top of the fourth. JakeBiscoe led off with a base hit
and took second on a wildpitch. Jones followed with abase hit and an error on thesame hit allowed Biscoe torace home to make it 4-1.
Hederman gave up just
an infield hit in the fourthand in the top of the fifth,Prospect narrowed the gap.Matt Apkarian led off with

a long triple to left center-field and one out later trot-ted home on a groundout byFrangione, making it 4-2.
Hederman walked twobatters in the fifth and thatcame back to haunt him, asa bloop hit to left field fell inand plated another run for a5-2 lead.
Biscoe led off the sixthinning with a base hit, butwas promptly picked offfirst. One out later, ZackDrouin drove a pinch hittriple to center field andthen scored when AustinPerrin doubled to make it 5-3.
Ethan Henderson tookover on the mound in thebottom of the sixth and af-ter two quick outs, surren-dered a triple to right. Itlooked like the ‘Toppersmight expand their lead, butCassidy made a long run-ning grab of a fly ball to cen-
ter to end the inning.Apkarian led off the sev-
enth with a base hit and oneout later Frangione walked,putting the tying run onbase. However, the TimberWolves couldn’t plate thenecessary runs and droppedthe 5-3 decision.
“We made some really re-markable plays in the out-field,” coach Bubba Noyessaid. “And it was nice to seeMatt (Apkarian) and Austin(Perrin) hit today.”
The veteran Timber Wolfcoach noted that at 1-5, histeam’s record isn’t spectac-ular, but with games againstsome of the top teams inClass M in the opening fewweeks, he knows that theteam has a chance to makeup ground.
“We’re one and five, butobviously, I think we’re bet-ter than that,” Noyes said.“The next two weeks arehuge for us.”
He pointed out that the
Timber Wolf hitters haveseen a lot of good pitchingover the start of the season,which he believes will onlyhelp his squad.
“We just keep workinghard in practice and hope-fully seeing good pitchingwill help us win somegames,” Noyes noted.
The Timber Wolves didgrab their first win of theseason on Monday, April 26,as they drilled Epping by a21-0 score.
Henderson got the starton the mound for Prospectand pitched four innings toget his first varsity win. Heallowed only one hit, struckout five and didn’t issue awalk. Spencer Goossens fin-ished up on the hill, strik-ing out two in a perfect fifthinning.
The Timber Wolvesscored two runs in the firstand exploded for 13 in thethird inning, highlighted bya grand slam from Miller.Prospect added two in thefourth and four in the fifthto account for the 21.
Epping pitchers helpedthe Timber Wolves, issuing13 walks on the afternoon.
“We obviously neededit,” said Noyes of the team’swin.
Prospect will head toSanborn for a 4:30 p.m. con-test on Friday, May 7, thento White Mountains Re-gional for a 4 p.m. game onMonday, May 10. OnWednesday, May 12, the boysreturn home to host Eppingat 4:30 p.m.

ALTON — The ProspectMountain softball team wel-comed back an old friend,but also dealt with somefolks who weren’t availableduring the two vacationweek games last week.
The Timber Wolves gottheir second win of the sea-son on Monday, April 26, asthey traveled to Epping anddelivered an 8-1 win over theBlue Devils.
The two teams played in-to the fifth inning with thescore tied at one, but Ali
Cormier, in her first actionof the season after sufferinga preseason injury, drilled ahomer to give the TimberWolves a 2-1 lead.
The Prospect girls thenwent to work again in thesixth with their bats, string-ing together five hits.Cormier, Sahara Brown andStephanie Waterman eachcontributed a hit to thecause.
Cormier’s bat was a wel-come addition, as she wentthree-for-five with five RBIs.Brown was one-for-two andalso had a great day behind
the plate, picking off run-ners at second and first.
Waterman, called upfrom the JV squad, pickedup the win for the TimberWolves, as she entered in thefifth inning and shut downthe hosts for the final threeinnings, allowing two hits inthat time frame. ChelseaTierney started for Prospectand pitched the first four in-nings, giving up just the onerun.
“We’re chugging alongand playing a little bit betterball,” coach Steve Woodcocknoted.
On Friday, April 30, theTimber Wolves traveled toSomersworth for a gamewith the Hilltoppers and didso without six normalstarters who were away onvacation.
The ‘Toppers took full ad-vantage, scoring six runs inthe bottom of the second in-ning, thanks in large part toa miscue on the part of theTimber Wolf defense.
The hosts added fivemore runs in the bottom ofthe fourth inning, uppingthe lead to 11-0 and thentacked on one run in thefifth for the 12-0 mercy rulewin.
The Timber Wolves net-ted only two hits on the af-ternoon, with two of thosehits belonging to Brown.Monica Buffum had the oth-er Prospect Mountain hit.

TILTON — You knowyour team is having a goodday when at least four ofyour athletes could havewon Male Athlete of theMeet.
While the honor eventu-ally went to Isaac Fithian,Prospect Mountain trackcoach Kristi Hikel wasquick to point out thatGreg Tinkham, Tony Un-garelli and Adam Cheneyall could’ve easily takenhome the award and no-body would’ve com-plained.
Any way you slice it, thestars of the day in the Tim-ber Wolves camp were therelay teams, as the boyswon two events, bestingClass I Kennett each timeand setting a new schoolrecord in one of the events.
The 4X800-meter relaywas the one where the Tim-ber Wolves really shined.The team of Cheney, Tin-kham, Ungarelli and Fithi-
an raced to a time of8:33.52, which shavedalmost 30 seconds offthe former schoolrecord.
“(Fellow coachJohn) Tuttle kneweach one of the boysran sub-60 400s, so heknew their 800s wouldbe right around thattwo-minute mark,”Hikel said.
The same groupteamed up for the4X400-meter and tookfirst place in 3:35.36.This was the first timeTinkham had run thatrace since his fresh-man year.
“That was probablythe highlight of themeet, watching theboys’ 4X800 and the4X400,” said Hikel. “Itgave our boys some-thing to race for and itgave their (Kennett)boys something torace for.”
While the relay
teams had impres-sive performances,the Timber Wolvesalso had a number ofstrong individualperformances aswell.

Almost a week after theKennett Eagles became thefirst team this season to scorea run on the Clippers, theKingswood Knights becamethe first team to hold a leadon the Clippers.
The Knights traveled toPortsmouth for a game onThursday, April 29, and fromthe beginning, coach DanChick said his girls really feltlike they were in the game.
“We felt like we could winthat game and we felt likethat very well into it,” the vet-eran coach said. “We’ve im-
proved a lot as the year hasgone on. A couple of mis-takes here and there and acouple of missed opportuni-ties here and there and we’reright there with them.
Portsmouth scored first,as the leadoff batter in thebottom of the first ripped ahomer to left off EmilyPerkins, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead.
The Knights got their batsgoing in the third inning andpushed across two runs totake a 2-1 lead. MirandaClark got things started witha base hit and Jess Sargentfollowed with a bunt to tie thegame at one.

WOLFEBORO — For thesecond time on the young sea-son, the Kingswood and Ken-nett boys’ lacrosse teams didbattle and for the second timethis season, the Knights cameaway with a win over theircounty rivals from the north.
“If they have the ball, wecan’t score,” said Kennettcoach Matt Haley, summingup the predicament the Ea-gles were in.“They controlledthe ball 90 percent of thetime.”
“We got a quick lead, that’swhat we were hoping for,”Kingswood coach Matt Jo-zokos said. “Then we playkeep away for a little bit.”
The Knight coach noted,that with only two offensivelines available, a key way torest players is to simply movethe ball around a lot withoutmoving much, giving playersa break on offense so theywon’t be as tired when theyhave to go back on defense.
Kingswood wasted no timegetting on the clock on theirhome field, as Matt Bouchertook a feed from Tate Jozokosand buried it behind substi-tute goalie Matt Halupowski,filling in for an injured BryanLamontagne, just 35 secondsinto the game.
Just 2:01 into the gameAlex Boucher made it 2-0 infavor of the Knights, as heburied a power play goal onan assist from Colin Piper.
Kingswood upped the leadto 3-0 with 3:45 gone in the con-test as Derek Brockney foundthe back of the net.
Kennett finally got achance to bring the ball downthe field and had some offen-sive chances, with Ricky Gau-dreau getting the best chance,but his shot was denied byKingswood keeper MikeBernier.
Kingswood however, upp-ed the lead the 5-0 on back-to-back goals by Tate Jozokos(from Andy Hamill) and MattBoucher just minutes a part.
The Knight lead jumped to6-0 when Brockney netted hissecond of the game on an as-sist from Piper, who made anice fast break up the field fol-lowing a great steal by Hamillin the defensive end.
Chris Andreani finally gotKennett on the board late inthe first quarter, as he tookthe ball in off the face-off andfired it past Bernier to makeit 6-1.
The two teams exchangedscoring bids, with Max Bren-
nick blocking a Jozokos shotand Halupowski stopping an-other shot by Piper, whileBernier turned away a Ken-nett attack, sending the gameto the second period withKingswood up 6-1.
Matt Boucher scored ashorthanded goal less than aminute into the second peri-od to up the lead to 7-1, withJozokos assisting.
Andreani got the goal backvery quickly, as he scored just58 seconds into the frame tomake it 7-2.
However, a nice pass bySam Walsh to Brockney setup another Kingswood goaland the host Knights had an8-2 lead.
The Knights began run-ning their offense a bit, withsolid ball movement. Piperand Brockney finally tookshots after a long possession.However, it was Hamill whonetted the next Knight goal,as he ripped a shot from thetop of the circle for a 9-2 lead.Brockney assisted on the tally.
Matt Boucher then con-verted off a Cam Whitcombsteal at midfield to put theKnights up 10-2.
The lead leaped to 11-2 af-ter Halupowski made a greatsave on a Brockney shot inclose. However, Piper was onthe doorstep for the reboundand scooped it into the net.
Finally, good ball posses-sion and movement led to Jo-zokos netting a goal in the fi-nal minute of the half for a12-2 halftime lead. DakotaTreloar got the helper on thetally.
The Knights killed off al-most three minutes on theclock before netting their firstgoal of the second half. Jo-zokos put the ball home for a13-2 lead.
Kennett got a power playmoments later and Gaudreauhad a couple of chances sailwide and Gabe Lee also sent ashot wide.
Chris Low got the Eaglesback on the board with hisfirst tally of the game and An-dreani followed that up withhis third goal, making it 13-4in favor of the Knights.
Liam Duggan had a goodchance for Kennett’s fifthgoal, but Bernier denied himthe power lay bid and theKnights got the next tally, asMatt Boucher ripped the ballhome on an assist fromBrockney following a nicerun up the field from MaxGustafson.
Jack Brennan took a nice
feed from Andreani and had aclear shot in close, butBernier turned away the bidand the score remained 14-4.Gaudreau and Josh Potterhad shots for Kennett andPiper and Hamill had chancesfor Kingswood, but nobodyelse scored in the closing min-utes of the third period.
Piper upped the lead to 15-4 quickly in the fourth quar-ter on an assist from Brock-ney and after Halupowskimade a nice save on a Brock-ney scoring bid, Matt Bouch-er made it 16-4 and runningtime was in place.
Brockney scored again fora 17-4 lead and Alex Vaillan-court replaced Bernier in theKingswood net.
Matt Boucher took a feedfrom Hamill for an 18-4 lead.
The Eagles got the final twogoals of the game, as An-dreani netted them both, put-ting one in with 2:18 on theclock and the other in as thefinal 10 seconds ticked away,making the final 18-6 in favorof the Knights.
“We’re really strugglingwith controlling the ball onthe defensive end and the of-fensive end,” Haley said. “Weneed to pick up the intensityif we’re ever going to win.”
He noted that his teamstepped it up a bit in the thirdquarter, but admitted it wastoo little, too late.
“We’ve got to come rightout of the gate and do that,”he said.
Jozokos noted that one ofhis team’s goals was to get thenumber of penalties downfrom the previous meeting of
the two teams and his squadaccomplished that. He alsopraised his team’s defense fortheir hard work.
“The defense is doing agreat job with the long poles,so when they do get shots, it’sfrom further out,” he said.“And Mike has been makingthe saves he needs to make.”
More Eagles
The Eagles couldn’t get onthe winning side of the score-board on Tuesday, April 27,falling to Lebanon 9-8 in a

The Knights and Spartanshad to deal with a gustingwind that blew consistentlythroughout the game. Thevisiting Knights spent thefirst half of the contest run-ning into the win and thenturned on the offense in thesecond half running with thewin and took home the win.
With the wind at theirfaces, it looked like it mightbe a tough first half for theKnights, but Erin Maguiregot the scoring rolling justabout two minutes in whenshe fired a shot home after agood Katie Mailman effortgot the Knights their firstshot of the game.
Just a couple of minuteslater, after solid Kingswooddefense turned around aPembroke attack, KelseyRodgers picked up the ballnear midfield and raceddown the field, depositing theball in the back of the net fora 2-0 lead.
Pembroke finally got somepressure on Kingswood keep-er Kellie Lander, but thefreshman held her own, mak-ing three solid saves, while al-so getting help from her de-fense as the Spartans tried invain to get on the board.
Mailman had a shot inclose denied and Maguirehad one ring off the crossbaras the Knights looked to upthe lead. Rodgers also had ashot stopped by the Pem-broke defense, while Landermade a couple of solid saves
in net at the other end.With six minutes to go in
the half, Kingswood uppedthe lead to 3-0, as Maguiretook a feed from Rodgers andbeat the Spartan goalie.
Two minutes later theSpartans finally got on theboard, then closed the gap to3-2 just a minute later.
With less than a minute toplay, the Spartans completedtheir first half comebackwith the tying goal. Theyfought to take the lead, butonly a couple of huge savesby Lander in the final sec-onds kept the game a tie head-ing to halftime.
The Knights got a littlehelp from the Spartans toopen the second half, but theremainder of the outburstwas all Knights.
Less than a minute intothe second half, an errantpass by the Spartans endedup in the goal and the Knightshad a 4-3 lead, a lead they nev-er relinquished. Mailmanwas given credit for the goal.
Kingswood kept the pres-sure on, as Rodgers, MeganLander, Kaylee Moore andPresleigh Skelley all workedthe ball around the Pembrokenet, but it was Rodgers whonetted the next goal, drivingone home for a 5-3 lead fiveminutes into the half.
Just a couple minutes lat-er, Skelley fed Rodgers with asolid pass and the lead was 6-3.
Mailman, Gabi Horton,Maguire and Moore all keptthe pressure on in the offen-sive zone and it was Maguirewho netted the next goal aftersome solid Kingswood pass-ing. Maguire’s third goalmade it 7-3 midway throughthe second half.
Pembroke finally got a bit
of offensive pressure andsent a couple of shots wide ofnet. Kellie Lander also madea couple of good saves.
Maguire, Rodgers andSkelley kept up the offensivepressure and Skelley set upthe eighth goal of the game,firing a gorgeous pass toMaguire, who fired the ballhome for an 8-3 lead withthree minutes to play.
The Knight defense shutdown the Spartans finally at-tempts at scoring and theKingswood ladies had theirfirst win.
“I think the weatherplayed a major role today,”coach Ali Cushing noted. “Itwasn’t helping us out.”
She pointed out that theslip at the end of the first halfwas something she wants tosee her team working to fix.
“We need to keep momen-tum going the whole game,not just in the second half,”she said.
The Knight coach wasn’tterribly pleased with theteam’s passing and catching,noting it was something theywould be working on in prac-tice as they prepare for thenext game.
“We didn’t bring our Agame there,” she said.
She was, however, pleasedthat every Knight availablegot in the game, a couple forthe first time this season. She
also praised Rodgers andMaguire for their greatgames.
The Knights traveled toKearsarge on Monday, April26, and came home with atough 15-14 loss to theCougars.
“It was a really goodgame,” Cushing noted. “I washappy to see our girls be suc-cessful.”
Rodgers netted eight goalsand three assists, Maguirehad five goals and six assists,Megan Lander had four as-sists, Morgan Lineham hadthree assists and Gabi Hor-ton netted a goal.
“They did an awesome jobdoing what we’ve been focus-ing on in practice, doubleteams in the midfield andslowing down transitions,”Cushing said. “Bill (assistantcoach Bill Lander) and I wereso proud to see them do that.”
She noted the girls werevery aggressive and took a lotof shots on goal.
“Although it’s a loss, it’sstill a good game,” Cushingsaid. “If we’re going to lose,that’s the way.”
The Knights will be at Pel-ham today, May 6, at 6:30 p.m.and will head to Laconia fora 4 p.m. game on Tuesday,May 11. On Wednesday, May12, the girls host Derryfield at4 p.m.
up in shallow right to send thegame to the seventh.
With one out, Saundersworked a walk to put the ty-ing run on base in the top ofthe seventh. Austin Weber en-tered as a pinch runner, butthe Knights turned their sec-ond double play of the game,this one of the 4-6-3 variety(Erwin, Mangum, Campbell)and the Knights had the 3-2win.
“Any time you beat Ken-nett, it’s nice,” said Skelley,but the veteran coach alsopointed to the fact that Run-nals seemed to get his gameback after a tough outing aweek earlier at MerrimackValley.
“It was good in the sensethat Peanut was starting tohit his stride,” Skelley said.“He felt like his curve wasstarting to work and he wasgetting his location back.”
“We just didn’t hit the ballwell,” Burns added. “But itwasn’t a good day to hit any-way.
“We’re looking forward toplaying them again,” he con-tinued.
More Knights
The Knights made someuncharacteristic defense mis-takes on Thursday, April 29,at Portsmouth, and the Clip-pers, being the great teamthat they are,were able to takeadvantage and took a 9-2 win.
“If you want to stay withthe big boys,you can’t do whatwe did,” Skelley said. “Andthey made some great plays.They had bodies diving allover the infield.”
The Knights managed on-ly three hits on the afternoon,but Dore, in only his secondvarsity start was solid on themound as well, allowing onlysix hits to the Clippers andsurrendered only two earnedruns.
“Slayd, he pitched verywell,” Skelley said. “The ideawas to pitch them all insideand Slayd has good control.”
He noted that the gustingwind helped the Knights atone point, keeping a ballseemingly destined for homerheaven in the park.
“There was one shot to left,it would still be going now ifnot for the wind,” the veterancoach mused.
Skelley also noted that theClippers and St. Thomas areclearly the cream of the cropin Class I.
“You take St. Thomas andPortsmouth out of our leagueand it’s kind of an any givenday type of deal,” he pointedout.
The Knights will be headto MercantsAuto.com Stadi-um in Manchester for theirnext home game, as they en-tertain the Souhegan Saberson Friday, May 7, at 4:15 p.m.
“I think the kids are reallylooking forward to it,” saidSkelley of Friday’s game atthe Fisher Cats’ home stadi-um. “I think it’s going to be anice thing.”

NORTH CONWAY —Playing baseball in the rain isnobody’s idea of fun, but thefact that the Kennett andKingswood baseball teamsmanaged to squeeze in theirgame between the raindropson April 27 means that the twoteams won’t be looking at amakeup game down the road.
“It’s nice knowing we don’thave any games to make upright now,” said Kingswoodcoach Chip Skelley. “We werelucky enough to just get it in.”
The game, originallyscheduled for New Durhamon April 16, was played inNorth Conway, on Tuesday,April 27, and the Knightswalked away with a hard-fought 3-2 win over their coun-ty rivals from Kennett.
With the Knights servingas the home team, Jeff Run-nals went out and retired theside in the first inning, get-ting a nice play from SlaydDore at third base to end theframe.
The Knights then took aquick lead against Eagle sen-ior Michael Larson in the bot-tom of the first inning.

then executed the doublesteal, with Erwin coming infrom third with the game’sfirst run.

Gilford
“All quiet on theWestern (Con-cord) Front.”
The House session onApril 28 was both short,with only 11 bills on theregular calendar, and rela-tively devoid of serious de-bate. The one issue that re-ceived quit a bit of discus-sion should resonate withthe citizens of Gilford.SB406 prohibits any mu-nicipality or county frommerging subdivided lotswithout the consent of thelandowner. This issue wasrecently the cause of agreat deal of debate in Gil-ford during the town’s elec-tions earlier this year. Oneof the town’s residents hadbeen fighting with the Gil-ford Planning Board oversuch a merger of two ofher lots. She introduced apetitioned warrant articleon the town’s ballot. Thetown planning board op-posed the amendment cit-ing problems with proper
zoning management. Thetown voters sided with the Gilford resident andagainst the planningboard.
The Gilford residentwasn’t satisfied, however.She persuaded a number ofstate senators and repre-sentatives to bring the is-sue to the legislature, in-cluding a number of Belk-nap County legislators.The Senate passed the billeasily via a voice vote. TheHouse committee, howev-er, recommended that theissue be further studied toexamine the ramificationsof the governing rights oflocal government andproblematic zoning issues.The opposition argued thatinvoluntary mergers vio-lated basic property rightsof the owners. The opposi-tion won out, defeating thecommittee’s recommenda-tion and passing the bill bya substantial margin, 221-122. I voted on the prevail-ing side. Goes to show youwhat a single citizen can
accomplish with persever-ance and determination.
Perhaps of more inter-est to the voters in the dis-trict might be the discus-sions that took place in myWays & Means Committeeover the last couple ofweeks. As previously re-ported, the House had re-ceived SB450 from the Sen-ate along with an amend-ment originated by theGovernor. The combina-tion of both dealt with thepending $220 million holein the current bienniumbudget with a combinationof spending cuts, tax andfee increases, and some“creative” accounting andbonding gimmicks. TheWays & Means committeewas asked to examine therevenue issues in theamendment as well as ad-ditional revenue proposalsbrought by other legisla-tors. These included newtaxes on capital gains andnuclear power, as well asincreases in the taxes ontobacco products, insur-
ance premiums, and beer.The governor also has pro-posed the transfer of mon-ey not needed for certainstate government opera-tions from some dedicatedfunds to the general fund.
After public hearingsand extensive work ses-sions, the committee nar-rowly recommended anumber of these proposalsto the Finance Committee,except for the taxes on nu-clear power and beer.These failed to garner anysupport due to issues ofunintended consequences,the targeting of a singleenergy source, and/orpoor wording of the bills.One proposal merits someadditional commentary.A fellow member of theWays & Means Committeebrought an amendmentthat would shift the tax onelectricity from the con-sumer to the generator.You can find the separateline item on your bill as the“electricity consumptiontax.”
The rationale for thechange was that NewHampshire generatesmore electricity than weconsume. By taxing thegeneration of electricity,we are able to tax out-of-state residents and busi-nesses who consume NH-generated electricity. Fur-ther, because the market-place for electricity is nowa “buyer’s market” and,therefore, highly price-re-sistant, New Hampshireconsumers may, in fact, see
a cost saving with the taxshift. In other words, sell-ers of electricity might notbe able to cost shift to theconsumer. This latter ben-efit for NH residents willdepend on the ability ofcompanies who are bothgenerators and transmit-ters, e.g., PSNH, to con-vince the Public UtilitiesCommission to allow themto raise rates based on cost.The tax shift would alsoraise an additional $5-6million.
Initially, I was opposedto the tax shift proposal be-cause of two concerns.One, as a former businessowner, I was suspicious ofgovernment changes dis-torting the supply and de-mand of electric market-place. However, we heardexcellent testimony on theworkings of the New Eng-land electrical grid. Thetax would be very small interms of the total cost ofelectricity and, therefore,would not affect marketprice. My largest concernwith the initial proposalwas that it taxed all gener-ators alike, regardless ofthe type of energy used,i.e., coal, oil, gas, or alter-native and clean energy. Iam strongly in favor ofproviding incentives to thecreation and use of clean,renewable energy in thiscountry and state, both forenvironmental and foreignrelations reasons.
In the end, with my urg-ing, the sponsor of theamendment changed the
proposal to exempt genera-tors of electricity using re-newable energy sources,such as wind, solar, hy-dropower, etc. I voted tosupport the tax shift; butthe proposal went to Fi-nance without a commit-tee recommendation, asthe final vote was split 10-10.
Now, it’s up to the Fi-nance Committee to decidewhat revenues they wantto use vis-à-vis programcuts and creative finance.As my belief remains thatNH has a revenue problem,not a spending problem, Ihope they’ll choose the rev-enues. Further, the pro-gram cuts will fall on thosemost in need in the state;the revenues will primari-ly fall on those able to af-ford them. They’ll alsohave other proposals toadd to the mix, such as an-other gambling amend-ment. We’ll know their de-cision in the coming weeksand be asked to vote on theentire package.
Perhaps, I should haveintroduced this piece as“the calm before thestorm.” Stay tuned.

Maybe it’s be-cause mysiblings andI grew up ina place that’s
winter or winter-like morethan six months of the year.Or maybe it’s because on acouple of occasions I’ve beenon the verge of hypothermiain situations and conditionsthat could have killed me.Whatever the case, I’ve longbeen fascinated by explo-rations and travels in earth’sharshest, most frozen places,and have read everythingabout adventures andtragedies in the environs ofthe North and South poles Icould get my hands on.
Thus a feature in the April19 New Yorker made me situp and take notice. “The IceBalloon,” the head read. “Adoomed journey in the Arc-tic.” Beneath Alec Wilkin-son’s byline was a century-old photograph, taken by oneof the doomed explorers, ofthe crash-landed balloon’swreckage. It had been aloftfor a mere 65 hours and wentdown some 300 miles fromthe Pole.
It is, as are many accountsof tragedy in cold, isolatedregions, a haunting story. Itbegan when the expeditionwas organized 1896 and theballoon took flight in 1897. Itended, and yet began again,when a Norwegian scientificsurvey and sealing partyaboard the sloop Bratvaagdiscovered the three men’sremains, diaries and camerain 1930.
While my own childhoodand adult-life experiencespale in comparison to Polarexpeditions, they nonethe-less enable me to relate tojournal entries bout vast,empty distances, sudden bliz-zards, tent-destroying winds,whiteout conditions, andsub-zero cold. At one time oranother I’ve experiencedthem all, the chief differ-ences being that they werebrief, they didn’t happen allat once, and I found my wayout of the predicaments athand in time to avoid losingany digits or, worse, fallinginto the kind of cold-inducedsleep from which there is nowaking up.
As I read the story aboutthe largely forgotten An-drée’s Polar Expedition, Istopped now and then to letmy mind drift back to myown experiences. When I was10 or so I carved a cave intothe lee side of a huge snow-drift on the lip of the well-known glacial pot-hole on theColebrook Country Club’sseventh fairway and,numbed and exhausted,curled up inside and verynearly fell asleep. I’ve foundmyself arriving at remotecamps with nearly frozen fin-gers, barely able to strike amatch (which is why JackLondon’s “To build a fire” isso etched in my mind). I’ve
left on trips that promised tobe cake-walks only to seethem become nightmareslogs in which I barely madeit to camp, too week to move.And I’ve fallen through theice, twice.
S.A. Andrée, 43, a Swede,and his two companions,Knut Fraenkel, 28 and NilsStrindberg, 23, lifted off froman island north of Spitzber-gen, 650 miles from the NorthPole, on July 11, 1897. As itleft its storage house andtook flight, the balloon’s bas-ket hit something. “What‘sthat?” Andrée was heard tosay. It was the last anyoneever heard from him. Theballoon appeared sluggishand the basket struck water,but the men threw out 400pounds of badly needed bal-last and eventually became adistant, disappearing dot inthe Arctic sky.
Andrée had figured theballoon would pass over thePole and come down some-where far to the west. “Witha fairly strong wind wewill…reach the Pole, or apoint near it, in from 30 to 60hours,” he wrote in a letter tohis brother, adding that itwould be nice to land in Alas-ka but the expedition hadsledges and provisions for afour-month journey if theballoon came down short ofits destination. But itcrashed to the ice after aflight of only 500 miles or so,about halfway to the Pole.
Almost all of the crew’sfilm was ruined during thethree-and-a-half decades be-fore their remains werefound, but a dozen or soframes survived, most ap-parently taken by NilsStrindberg. The mostpoignant shows the crashedballoon, still partially inflat-ed, its basket on its side, withAndrée and Fraenkel sur-veying the damage. All threemen would soon die in thevast and frozen landscape.The balloon, largely paid forby expedition backer AlfredNobel, of Peace Prize and dy-namite-discovery fame, wasnow a useless wreck. Themen had no clear notion ofwhere they were or how farthey’d have to trek to safety.
As events were to prove, itwas far too far in positivelyhostile conditions, and thethree men were never seen orheard from again, until Au-gust of 1930, that is, when aNorwegian sealing and sci-ence ship stopped at remoteWhite Island in the ArcticOcean.
There a hunting crew pur-sued some walruses arounda point of land and later re-turned with a sodden, par-tially frozen book with its
pages stuck together. Itproved to be a diary, its firstpage titled “The Sledge Jour-ney, 1897.”
Two sealers dressing sealshad gone looking for water,and found an aluminum lidand canvas boat, with a boat-hook inscribed “Andrée’sPol. Exp. 1896,” the year of itsorganization. Near the boatthey found a frozen body, itsboots still on and its clothingstrewn about. Inside its jack-et was a monogram, “A.” Thescientists and sealers knewthe Andrée story, and had lit-tle doubt that they had foundhis body.
Several weeks later, a shiphired by newspapers sailedto White Island in pursuit ofmore details, and a reporterfound another waterloggednotebook. Each man, itturned out, had kept an ac-count of the journey. Theyrecorded that the balloon fre-quently bumped along theice, and when they felt theyhad no choice but to abandonit had stepped out of its carand onto the ice “worn outand famished,” one wrote.
It took the men a week tosort out gear and suppliesand pack their three sledges,each of which weighed threeto four hundred pounds.They headed southeast, hop-ing to find a supply depotthey’d arranged to havedropped by ship on the Russ-ian archipelago Franz JosefLand, but pressure ridgesand temperatures of 30 be-low and more slowed them toa crawl of about less thanthree miles a day. Strindbergwrote his wife on her birth-day, July 25: “Oh, how I wishI could tell you now that I min excellent health and thatyou need not fear for us atall.”
On Aug. 4, experiencingsnow blindness, hunger andfatigue and thwarted by ice-drift taking them far offcourse, the three men
changed direction and head-ed for the Seven Islands,where a smaller cache hadbeen left. They shot seals andat least one bear, but the meatsoon ran out and meals oftenconsisted of biscuits, bread,butter and water. At onepoint they poured seawaterover shaped snow and madean igloo, which broke up inthe middle of the night whenthe ice they were on broke in-to smaller floes. By Aug. 29they were suffering fromsprained joints and digestiveproblems, and on Sept. 3 ex-tensive leads forced them toresort to their boat. Later,back to pulling sledges, theylost about a third of their sug-ar and bread when Strind-berg’s sledge fell into the wa-ter. Still, Andrée wrote, this“did not lessen our festalmood, but we were jolly andfriendly as usual.” But by the17th, he wrote, much hadchanged for the worse, snowand wind were making trav-el difficult, and they wereagain out of meat. After theice their shelter was on hadbroken apart, they’d had toscramble to rescue remnantsof their food and gear. Whilebuilding another icehouse onOct. 4, they had sighted a lowpeninsula on White Island,and made landfall the nextday.
The last journal entry was
for Oct. 8, when fierce weath-er kept them in their tent allday. When they died is notknown, but it couldn’t havebeen long; most of their pro-visions were found unused,in their boat, and whale-bones and driftwood they’dgathered remained un-burned. The causes of theirdeaths could only be guessedat; the sailors and hunterswho found them, judgingfrom the clothing on the re-mains, decided that they diedfrom cold and exhaustion.
Their remains were re-covered and brought toStockholm on Oct. 5, 1930,where King Gustaf V greetedthem with a proclamation:“In the name of the Swedish
nation,” he said, “I here greetthe dust of the polar explor-ers who, more than threedecades go, left their nativeland to find an answer toquestions of unparalleleddifficulty.”
The explorers’ graves areon a hillside on the outskirtsof Stockholm, with a monu-ment in the shape of a sailand a prow, parting the wa-ter.

Youths do not need ahunting license yet, but theymust have a turkey license.May 3 opened the shotgunand archery bearded turkeyseason, which runs untilMay 31. There are plenty of
turkeys to hunt, but the ear-ly leafing out of trees andshrubs will make it difficultto see them. It is very excit-ing to hear a male turkey gob-ble back to your call of alovesick female turkey. Youmust use all of your besthunting techniques to bagone. Hunting turkey is legalfrom one half-hour beforesunrise until noon. This al-lows the hen time to sit byherself on her eggs, undis-turbed by humans. Be awarethat you might also call in acoyote as they, too, are look-ing for a meal, and your call-ing tells them exactly wherethey think a turkey is locat-ed. They are legal to shoot ifyou do call one into range.
May is a good month toblast and cast. You can huntin the morning and fish inthe afternoon. See you outthere.
