The adventures of a famously creepy, kooky, and altogether spooky family will come to the Gilford stage this week-end with Gilford Middle School's performance of “The Addams Family.”

GMS students will

perform the Young@Part version of “The Addams Family” musi-cal Friday and Saturday, June 1 and 2.

Director Matt Demko said he and tech director Aaron Witham looked over a few different op-tions for shows after completing the produc-

tion of “Bye, Bye Birdie.”“We both decided to

do a show we've never done before and done a show (we) don't know a lot about.”

He said as a direc-tor they do want to find shows to do they haven't done.

So far, the town's fi-nancial figures are in line with what to ex-pect this time of year, with the town seeing regular decreases in outstanding liens.

Finance Director Glenn Waring gave his monthly financial report to the board of

selectmen on Wednes-day. According to a re-cording of the meeting, Waring said he had presented the select-men with a number of different reports dat-ed through the end of April and more recent-ly.

He said revenue is on pace so far. They have received an antic-

ipated 33 percent or a third of their revenue for the year so far. This doesn't include season-al revenue or onetime revenue such as Pay-ments in Lieu of Taxes and Rooms and Meals Tax (which comes later in the year).

Expenses are also in line with this time

name through various film festivals around the world. McCulloch presently lives in Los Angeles. He has worked as a writer for NBC’s “Chicago Fire,” and for “Yellowstone,” a limited series that premieres on the Paramount Network this summer. McCulloch spent time at Robert Red-ford’s Sundance Studios

during the filming of the show, staying close to the action. The show centers around a patriarch—Costner—who owns the largest privately owned contiguous piece of land in the country and who is beset with both internal and external pressures that could potentially tear apart his land, his family, and his cowboy

way of life. Most recent-ly, McCulloch sold an idea to FX which will be about an ATF agent who poses as a hit man for hire. He is also involved in discussions to bring James Dickey’s nov-el (and the subsequent movie) “Deliverance” to television, though the concept would veer away from the original mate-rial, focusing on plac-ing urban characters into hostile territories around the world.

Students asked a vari-ety of questions, ranging from McCulloch’s influ-ences to movie stars to movie money to specifics about his writing habits.

“I’m always work-ing,” McCulloch told one group. “If I’m watching television or a movie I’m constantly thinking and writing. I don’t have as much time for books as I once did—I spend my days writing and work-ing with words, so books don’t pull me in as much these days. But when I’m watching a movie or a show, I’m thinking about what they do well and I’m thinking about ways that I can deliver things creatively but in a very

Ian McCulloch, who was raised in Gilmanton and attended Gilmanton Elementary and Gilford High School, was this year’s Visiting Writer. On Thursday, May 17, McCulloch spent the af-ternoon speaking to mul-tiple groups of students, discussing his experienc-es as a working writer in the television industry. Students brainstormed with teachers ahead of McCulloch’s visit, com-ing up with questions for large-group question and answer sessions with the Gilford graduate/Holly-wood writer.

McCulloch attended NYU on a theater schol-arship after graduating in 1988. He lived in New York for a number of years, working a wide variety of jobs while try-ing to break in with the-ater and/or acting. Mc-Culloch has done New York theater work, but

found that he had more of a passion for writing. So, he began writing,

directing, and produc-ing short films—which is where he made his

Transfer station project to be done in

phases with a higher costBY ERIN PLUMMER

[email protected]

The transfer station project will cost closer to $1.2 million, with the town using money approved at last year's town meeting toward the building itself with the rest of the project on next year's warrant.

The board of select-men voted unanimous-ly to proceed this way with the renovation and expansion of the recycling facility af-ter only receiving one higher than predicted bid and other factors.

Last March, voters approved a warrant ar-ticle for $950,000 to ren-ovate and expand the current solid waste fa-cility to a full transfer station.

During last Wednes-day's board meeting, Town Administrator Scott Dunn reported that the town had one bid for the project that came in at $1,127,700.

He said at the board's request, Solid Waste Supervisor Mike Donovan worked with Solid Waste Committee member and retired Public Works Director Sheldon Morgan to in-vestigate whether the town could act as its own general contrac-tor on this project, po-tentially saving some

money. Dunn said Don-ovan and Morgan did a lot of investigating and meeting with contrac-tors. They were un-able to conclude if the staff had the capability of acting as a general contractor and. Addi-tionally Dunn said the town was not in the po-sition to say of the dif-ferent proposals were direct, “apples-to-ap-ples” comparisons with the project's bid specifications.

“We never came away with a good feel-ing that's a viable alter-native,” Dunn said.

The town went back to Meridian Construc-tion and asked how the project could get start-ed within budget. Dunn and selectman Richard Grenier, the chair of the Solid Waste Com-mittee, worked with staff to pull out a num-ber of different items in the project that could get done at a later time.

After these discus-sions, it was deter-mined they could get the building alone for $838,100 and every-thing else including equipment, electrical, plumbing, and all oth-er aspects could be cov-ered with an additional $400,000 at a later time.

Dunn recommend-ed that they start the

building with the mon-ey that had been ap-propriated at the 2017 town meeting. The re-maining $41,000 could be used for construc-tion contingencies or to help offset the mon-ey that would be re-quested on next year's warrant.

They would come back to the 2019 town meeting asking for the remaining funds to be taken out of the surplus fund balance. Dunn emphasized that money would not be borrowed or come out of taxes.

The original design for the transfer station carried a projected pricetag of $1.7 million, which was opposed by a number of officials. The committee asked for a scaled back de-sign, which went on the warrant for the $950,000.

“The figure that we needed was the figure that our engineers told us we would need in the beginning and for a variety of rea-sons we were optimis-tic that that could be scaled back and found out that that optimism was unfounded,” Dunn said.

Grenier said while they had a good plan,

BY MARK THOMAS

Library Correspondent

Almost anyone can pick up a good thrill-er and enjoy a little excitement, but true crime is another beast altogether. It’s an ac-quired taste, blending curiosity, disgust, and morbid fascination. It's a mix of history, psy-chology, sociology, and oftentimes mystery. It’s disturbing, in a way, so why are so many people drawn to true crime?

True crime is not the fanciful imagination of some twisted writer--it happened, proving that someone was ca-pable of the criminal act. Readers, thought-ful as they are, want to know why they did it. Who were they, what was their life like, what were their motivations, what state of mind were they in, and, a lot of the time, what went wrong. There is an element of fear as well. Fear of your fellow humans. For some, fear is excit-ing.

The true crime book that everyone is talking about is “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: one woman’s obsessive search for the Golden State Killer” by Michelle McNamara. Michelle studied and wrote tirelessly about the Golden State Killer, having her work com-piled and published two years after her untime-ly death. Her work has drawn the public eye

to the case, which re-cently saw an arrest de-cades after the crimes. Michelle’s ‘obsession’ is clear in the way she writes, finding ques-tions with each piece of evidence. Her book has been a best-seller, and soon we will see an HBO special on the sto-ry.

“A False Report: A true story of Rape in America” by T Chris-tian Miller and Ken Armstrong is a recent release that tracks how a serial rapist was able to cover up his crimes to the extent that a teen-ager was charged with false reporting when the police, and even some of those close to her, doubted her story. As more cases turned up with eerie similari-ty, a detective pieced to-gether the connection, and the truth came out. “A False Report” is as much a book about a se-rial rapist case as it is about injustice in sexu-al assault investigation and about skepticism shown to rape victims.

As sad as it is, true crime is often about both crime and injus-tice. “Beneath a Ruth-less Sun: a true story of violence, race, and justice lost and found” by Gilbert King brings to light the story of ra-cially motivated mur-der and cover-ups in a small town in Florida right when integra-tion was ongoing. The

truth is harrowing in a way that fiction can’t achieve. “The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist: a true story of injustice in the Amer-ican South” by Radley Balko and Tucker Car-rington is another new and true account of abuse of power, crimes, and cover-ups.

These books have come in just the last couple of months. They are the tip of iceberg for true crime readers. Ask a librarian and we can help you find the whole collection--they’re to die for.

Residents asked to separate theirglass for use as construction material

tor Scott Dunn brought up a pressing issue regarding glass recy-cling. According to re-ports in the media and from the Northeast Re-source Recovery Asso-ciation, the glass mar-ket has significantly dropped due to a num-ber of factors, and the last bottling plant that used recycled glass has shut down.

Dunn said it is cheaper overall for the town to dispose of trash than to dispose of recyclables. Select-man and Solid Waste Committee member Richard Grenier said he has gotten several phone calls from peo-ple regarding the glass recycling issue.

Grenier said this has never been an issue for the town, saying Sol-id Waste Supervisor Mike Donovan has had the goal of collecting glass and crushing it to mix with aggregate for Public Works projects. He said by taking glass out of solid waste, they save with less tonnage and the glass has a con-

venient use. “Its a win-win for

us, it's never been an issue,” Grenier said.

Dunn said the town has been a member of a cooperative waste district that planned to build a processing plant for recyclables. As a result the town started combining all of its recyclable mate-rial.

“As those numbers were crunched, the reality was that plant was not feasible, and they dropped it,” Dunn said. “We've still been doing commingling ever since, although we separate cardboard.”

Dunn said it would be best for the town to ask people to separate out their glass, which will go into a special bin at the recycling center so it can be crushed and used.

The selectmen ap-proved a motion to request residents sep-arate their glass from other recyclables. The glass will be stockpiled until the town obtains a glass crusher.

Gilford Parks and Recreation News

To me, the Memo-rial Day weekend has always been a partic-ularly poignant time of year. Many of us can remember get-ting scrubbed up and dressed in our finest to pay homage to veter-ans and lost loved ones in the Memorial Day parade.

But that particular weekend is also a sea-sonal marker for an entire subculture: peo-ple who go to camp. In some parts of the state---places where wild and sparsely populated wild land is still with-in reach---“camp” can mean anything from a lavishly appointed vacation getaway to something little better than a horse hovel.

In some regions, mine in particular, it’s time to open up camp for the season. And no sane camp-opening crew travels without a chainsaw in the truck, for taking care of blown-down trees that can often bar the way.

Push or pull it aside with the truck, you think? Well, if you’re very lucky. And no-body wants a careful-

ly planned expedition into camp to be thwart-ed by a blowdown. Thus included in the freight is a sharpened and checked-out chain-saw, ready to go.

+++++

In our case, as it is with many others, it’s not a matter of wheth-er we’re ready for the road, but whether the road is ready for us.

In many cases, the road networks are pri-marily for logging, and the camp owner on a seldom-used skid-der trail works with the landowner or the logging company to keep the road pass-

able. Sometimes this means going fifty-fifty on a culvert. You never know. One hand wash-es the other.

In our case, the state owns and manages the roads, which on the face of things would seem to invite trouble. but late-season hunt-ers, snowmobile club members, hikers and many others who use and love the back coun-try have worked out a good relationship with road and timber man-agers to let them know what’s going on.

This helps crews get a heads-up on problem spots---places where a plugged or buckled culvert has caused a

washout, or where bea-vers have flooded the road, or major blow-downs have left a seri-ous mess.

There is a Concord phone number that camp-owners can call to get the most recent update on the roads before heading off to open up camp, and (surprise!) it works. In some instances, in fact in many instances, Concord gets it right, and this is one of them.

+++++

Camp owners are in-deed a breed apart. If you are out on a truck tour and just cruising

On a good legacyBY LARRY SCOTT

lSpeaking to a group of sport’s profession-als, the speaker chal-lenged the players to leave a legacy of which they could be genuine-ly proud. He began by asking how many of them knew the name of their great-grand-father. Then he asked how many of them knew where he was buried. Most hands stayed down on that one, and then, “he made his point: ‘Each of us is just three to four generations away from extinction.’ Si-lence gripped the room. How sobering to think that, just a few gener-ations down the fam-ily tree, no one would even know that I had ever existed!” (from

Ravi Zacharias, “The Grand Weaver,” p. 65).

It is an issue every thinking man must consider. After a life-time of living, raising a family, fighting for success, and, perhaps, gaining the admira-tion of our peers, we will each fade from the scene and leave behind a short history of our having come and gone. It is called a legacy; the question is, “What kind of legacy will it be?”

Life is such that we each cast a long shad-ow, we each leave an impact on the people that we have influ-enced – for good or for bad. Fellow workers, business contacts, and the friends we leave behind -- all will have

been influenced by the life we lived and the principles we lived by. Most important of all, our family will reflect our religious beliefs, our world view, and our concept of right and wrong. Character lives on! What we have told them will be over-shadowed by who we were, and for good or bad, they will model the life we lived.

A friend of mine re-counted how proud his children were of him because, as one of them stated, “We are so glad you left us to deter-mine our own religious beliefs; you permitted us to make our own choices, and we are grateful!” The gentle-man was proud of that, pleased and took it as a compliment. As you can imagine, neither he nor his children have any place for God in their lives. He has trained them well for life. But eternity? That he left to them as a mat-ter of choice!

The point here is that all the funda-mental qualities of character and life are learned in the home, and they are learned not by what we say but

by who we are. Hones-ty, patience, courage, loyalty, self-discipline, responsibility and even our faith, are all conditioned by the con-victions and life-style we inherited from our parents. We, in turn, pass our training on to the next generation, and those who follow after us will benefit or be cursed by the prin-ciples we lived by.

We have been high-lighting in this column that God is committed to helping us model, here and now, the per-sons we are going to be “then and there,” that is, in life after death. That is as true in the social as it is in the re-ligious realm. None of us lives to ourselves. Our family, and those who have admired the convictions by which we lived will be pro-foundly influenced by who we have been. While there is yet time and opportunity, can we re-chart the life we are living? Absolutely … and you know what I am going to say: it be-gins with God.

Enlist for laughs with Dean Martin& Jerry Lewis on LRPA this weekend

L A C O N I A — J o i n Lakes Region Public Ac-cess Television at 10:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday night (June 1 & 2) for our “LRPA Af-ter Dark” presentation of 1951’s musical com-edy “At War With the Army,” starring the clas-sic comedy team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

Sergeant Victor Puc-cinelli and Private First Class Alvin Korwin serve in the U.S. Army during WWII. Before enlisting, they were best friends and partners in a nightclub song-and-dance act. Since enlist-ing and serving on the same base, they tend to get on each other’s nerves. Puccinelli (Mar-tin), a suave ladies’ man, is good at his boring, pa-per-pushing desk job, but dreams of being trans-ferred to active duty overseas. His CO has no intentions of letting him leave, intending instead to commission him as the company’s Warrant Officer. Korwin (Lewis) is a lovable goofball who works in the mess hall but can’t do anything right. Everything he touches turns to disas-ter. He’s on K.P. duty as a result of his incompe-tence. Korwin begs for a weekend pass visit his wife, but can’t seem to catch a break. Things are further complicated by Puccinelli’s love life, which is in a constant whirlwind, plus the fact that Korwin wants his

old partner to record a song they have co-writ-ten and rehearse for a USO show, much to Puc-cinelli’s chagrin. Will Puccinelli get to see ac-tive duty? Will Korwin get to see his wife back home? Most important-ly, will the guys get to-gether and put on the show?

Dean Martin and Jer-ry Lewis made 16 movies together over the span of their careers. “At War With the Army” was their third movie, but their first starring vehicle. Their roles in this film, as in all of their movies, follow typecasting: Martin as the handsome Romeo, Lewis as the luckless jokester. “At War With the Army” has every-thing that you’d expect from a Martin and Lewis movie: loads of wonder-ful slapstick moments, as well as songs, shtick, crazy mix-ups and zany antics, and even a spoof of Bing Crosby and Bar-ry Fitzgerald in “Going My Way.” This was vin-tage Martin and Lewis, before egos and jealou-sy got in the way. If it sounds like fun, then grab your popcorn and meet us after dark for this wacky sendup of Army bureaucracy.

Melanie Himmer, 49, of Gilford, died Tues-day, May 15, 2018 sud-denly of natural causes at home on Governor’s Island.

Born on May 16, 1968 in Aldershot, Hamp-shire, England, the daughter of George and Sally Read-Ward, Melanie grew up in En-gland, graduating from Cheltenham Ladies’ College and the Uni-versity of East Anglia with a degree in eco-nomics and European studies. She spent most of her adulthood liv-ing overseas in Russia, Poland, Uzbekistan, Switzerland, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Canada, and Finland.

Melanie worked for many years as a diplo-mat for Her Britannic Majesty’s Diplomat-ic Service within the Foreign and Common-wealth Office of the British government. This work included as-signments such as Vice Consul at the British Embassy in Moscow, Management Officer at the British Embassy in Warsaw, Deputy Head of Mission and Charge d’Affaires at the Brit-ish Embassy to Uzbeki-stan, Consul General for Tajikistan, and as a member of the inter-

national commission investigating Nazi gold stolen in World War II.

Settling in Gilford in 2008, Melanie dis-played a passion for the outdoors that was contagious; hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping; and she par-ticipated extensively in Becoming an Outdoors Woman courses in New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. From a sceptic about hunt-ing, she developed her views and skills until she succeeded in tak-ing her first turkey last year, was certified as a riflery instructor, and was steward for a suc-cessful deer herd man-agement program. She served on the Board of Directors of Belknap County Sportsmen’s Association.

Melanie was an en-ergetic, friendly volun-teer helping others in so many ways from the

Red Cross and Boys & Girls Club, to teaching schoolchildren about animals and habitats with the Wonders of Wildlife Program of New Hampshire Fish & Game. She served on the Board of Directors of Governor’s Island Club, where she and her family have had a home for many years. In the days since her passing, there has been an outpouring of sup-port and heartwarm-ing stories of her time in this community - the wonderful meals she cooked for so many people, plus a lemon cake or two with lemon curd.

Most of all, Melanie was a loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, and aunt who cared so well for her family. Melanie is survived by her best friend and husband of 25 years, Alan; her two sons, Wyatt and Morgan; her parents, George and Sally Read-Ward of En-gland; and her broth-er Earl Read-Ward of England; and nephews and nieces in Maine, England, and Germa-ny. She also leaves be-hind too many friends to count here. She was taken from us thirty or forty years too early - life will never be the same and she will be immensely missed.

Burial will take place at Church of the Holy Cross in Binsted, England, where Mel-anie and Alan were married 25 years ago. A small private gather-ing to celebrate and re-flect will be held soon in Gilford - friends should contact Alan for details.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in memory of Melanie to the Belknap County Sportsmen’s Associa-tion Charitable Fund, PO Box 214, Laconia, NH 03246, which is a 501(c)3 tax-deductible charity.

LACONIA — Victor Leo Warner, 64 of La-conia, passed away on Monday, April 23, 2018, at Lakes Region Gen-eral Hospital. Victor was born in Lewiston, Maine on May 13, 1953 to the late Leo George and Theresa Aurora (Demers) Warner.

Victor was a welder at Maine Manufactur-ing.

Family members in-clude his son, Christo-pher Warner; a daugh-ter, Jennifer (Warner)

and Joel Miller; grand-children, Ashley (Mill-er) Maxner, Macken-zie Miller, and Logan Miller; and a brother,

Leslie and Elizabeth Warner.

In addition to his parents, he was prede-ceased by his brother, Carlisle Warner, and his sisters, Georgette “Cookie” (Warner) Gagnon, Brenda War-ner, and Priscilla War-ner.

Services will be held on Sunday, June 10, 2018 at 2:30 p.m. at Londonderry Baptist Church, 368 Mammoth Rd., Londonderry, NH 03053.

Given the complexities of the investment world, you might consider working with a financial profession-al to help you move toward your goals, such as a com-fortable retirement. You’ll want to establish good com-munication with whomever you choose, and you should meet in person at least once a year to discuss your situ-ation. At these annual re-views, you’ll want to cover a variety of topics, including these:

Your portfolio’s progress – Obviously, you will want to discuss how well your investments are doing. Of

course, you can follow their performance from month to month, or even day to day, by reviewing your invest-ment statements and online information, but at your an-nual meeting, your financial professional can sum up the past year’s results, highlight areas that have done well or lagged, and show you how closely your portfolio is tracking the results you need to achieve your long-term goals.

Your investment mix – Your mix of investments – stocks, bonds, government securi-ties and so on – helps deter-mine your success as an in-

vestor. But in looking at the various investments in your portfolio, you’ll want to go beyond individual gains and losses to see if your overall mix is still appropriate for your needs. For example, is the ratio of stocks to bonds still suitable for your risk tolerance? Over time, and sometimes without you taking any action, this ratio can shift, as often hap-pens when stocks appreciate so much that they now take up a larger percentage of your portfolio than you intended – with a correspondingly higher risk level. If these unexpected movements occur, your finan-cial professional may recom-mend you rebalance your port-

folio to align it more closely with your goals and risk tolerance.

Changes in your family situation – A lot can happen in a single year. You could have gotten married, divorced or remarried, added a child to your family or moved to a new, more expensive house – the list can go on and on. And some, if not all, of these moves could certainly involve your financial and investment pictures, so it’s important to dis-cuss them with your finan-cial professional.

Changes in your goals – Since your last annual review, you may have decided to change some of your long-term

goals. Perhaps you no lon-ger want to retire early, or you’ve ruled out that vaca-tion home. In any case, these choices may well affect your investment strategies, so it’s wise to discuss them.

Changes in the investment environment – Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to establish a long-term invest-ment strategy based on your individual goals, risk toler-ance and time horizon, and stick with this basic strategy regardless of the movements of the financial markets or changes in the economy. Still, this doesn’t mean you should never adjust your

portfolio in response to ex-ternal forces. For instance, if interest rates were to rise steadily over a year’s time, you might want to consid-er some changes to your fixed-income investments, such as bonds, whose val-ue will be affected by rising rates. In any case, it’s anoth-er thing to talk about during your annual review.

These aren’t the only el-ements you may want to bring up in your yearly re-view with your financial professional – but they can prove to be quite helpful as you chart your course to-ward the future.

Gilford resident Connor Craigie named to Worcester Polytechnic Institute's

Spring 2018 Dean's ListW O R C E S T E R ,

Mass. — Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has announced that Connor Craigie of Gilford, a member of the class of 2021 ma-joring in robotics engi-neering, was named to the university's Dean's List for academic ex-cellence for the spring

2018 semester.A total of 1,474 un-

dergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI's spring 2018 Dean's List. The criteria for the WPI Dean's List dif-fers from that of most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average

(GPA). Instead, WPI defines the Dean's List by the amount of work completed at the A lev-el in courses and proj-ects.

"WPI's academic programs are rigorous and require a level of independence beyond what is required in tra-ditional courses. WPI

students go beyond the classroom to work on open-ended problems in and for communi-ties around the world. The problems are im-portant and the impact is real" said dean of undergraduate studies Arthur C. Heinricher. "Some of this nation's best and brightest

students come to WPI to study engineering and science and busi-ness and the human-ities. Those named to the Dean's List have excelled in all of their work, and we are ex-ceptionally proud of these outstanding stu-dents."

Huge yard sale at Patrick’s Saturday

GILFORD — On June 2 from 9 a.m. – noon, multiple Pub Mania teams are hold-ing a huge yard sale in the parking lot of Pat-rick’s Pub and Eatery in Gilford. This annual event raises funds for the Lakes Region Chil-dren’s Auction, a non-profit that contributes to a wide variety of lo-cal charities. Rain date is Sunday, June 3.

Pub Mania teams hold events year round, and their efforts culmi-nate with the 24-hour Patrick’s Pub Mania challenge in mid-De-cember, which runs concurrently with the Lakes Region Chil-dren’s Auction. In 2017, Pub Mania raised $303,630, and over the past eight years, Pub Mania has raised a cu-mulative total of over $1,616,630 for the kids and families in the greater Lakes Region area.

This year’s sale has seven teams participat-ing, so shoppers can ex-pect an extensive range of gently used items. In addition to the furni-ture, household goods, and knick-knacks that

all teams will offer, Team Body Covers, cap-tained by Sarah Gray, promises 20 years worth of “artsy, funky, retro” ephemera, and Judi Taggart of Tagg Team also will have food.

“We’re gearing up for this huge yard sale offering treasures for everyone!” said Tag-gart. “Plus, Tagg Team will sell a 6 pack of fresh bagels donated by Win-nipesaukee Bay Gulls

for only six dollars. One hundred percent of all proceeds will benefit the Children’s Auc-tion.”

Allan Beetle, Pat-rick’s Pub co-owner, says, “It should be a really interesting and fun yard sale, but we’re most excited that the teams are donating all their profits to benefit children in need here in the greater Lakes Re-gion.”

Penny Pitou Travel donates $500 to Got Lunch Program LaconiaPenny Pitou, President, and Kim Terrio, Vice President of Penny Pitou Travel, present a check for $500 to Paula Gile, Advisory Board member of the Got Lunch Program in Laconia. Terrio says, “It is unbelievable that children in our country are going without food on a daily basis, considering all the food that is tossed out daily. Anything we can do to help the children in our own local community we will gladly support.” Got Lunch Laconia is a com-munity coming together to feed the children of Laconia during the summer months. School statistics state that currently, on average, 62 percent of Laconia’s school aged children qualify for free and reduced priced lunches, and the rate in some schools is as high as 70 percent. When school is not in session, these children most likely are missing at least one meal, and maybe two if they were also receiving free breakfast.

different way.” McCulloch noted

that his favorite show of all time is “Breaking Bad,” and for movies, he praised George Cloo-ney’s “Michael Clayton.” Of special note regarding his influences, McCull-och pointed at former GHS theater director Faith Rupert, who was in attendance.

“Her,” he said, “I wanted to be her. I want-ed to be in charge, and I

wanted to do it well, just like her.”

Creative Writing teacher Scott Hutchison introduced McCulloch to the groups. He told the students about Mc-Culloch’s accomplish-ments and his work eth-ic: “Here is a man who was like you: a student at Gilford High School, listening to teachers, and to guest speakers, some-one who figured out that, with hard work and with

a little luck he could get where he wanted to go.” Hutchison finished his introduction by saying to students, “If there’s one take-away from all of this beyond what you learn about writing and Hollywood, hopefully it’s this: why not you? Here’s someone who sat in these very chairs and had a dream. Could this, with a little hard work, be you? Why not? Why not you?”

he does not think much more of the design should be sacrificed. Grenier said they looked at grants, but they were not in the amounts they original-ly hoped. A number of grants required that the building be con-structed first before they could apply. Gre-nier said this was dis-cussed at a Solid Waste Committee meeting and everyone in that

room agreed that this was the best direction to take.

Board chair Gus Be-navides noted that the bottom line number will still be closer to $1.2 million, but still $500,000 less than the original design.

Grenier said in or-der to start this by win-ter they would want a decision from the board that night.

The selectmen unan-

imously approved a motion to award the contract with Meridi-an for $838,100 for the transfer station build-ing. The motion stated this was done with the knowledge the town would have to come back to town meeting next year for the re-maining amount of around $400,000, which would not be borrowed or come from taxes.

of year, with the big-gest exception is for the streetlights. At the April 25 meeting, the selectmen unani-mously approved the proposal from Affini-ty Lighting for $44,672 with the anticipation they would receive a CDFA loan for $27,272. The project went on, though the town at-torney advised they were unable to apply for the loan without town meeting approv-al. As a result the town covered the remaining $27,272.

Waring said the

town ended its 2017 property tax collection period ending April 30. They have collect-ed 97.8 percent of town property taxes totaling $30,747,923.

Waring said the amount in outstanding liens has kept drop-ping over the past few years. The latest out-standing lien balance is $31,000 less than it was a year ago and $61,000 less than it was two years ago.

“The lien collection is on great pace as well,” Waring said.

The town's operat-

ing cash balance as of May 21 is $412,750 and short term invest-ments balance was $7,313,236.

“Our cash flow pro-jections throughout '18 certainly are in line to meet our anticipated obligations and at this point of the year we are at our lowest cash bal-ance position,” Waring said.

The first tax issue warrant for 2018 was issued just that day through the tax collec-tor. The latest tax issue will have a tentative due date of early July.

The play version is its own story with some original characters. “The Addams Family” is already one of the most popular high school plays. It also has a small cast, which worked out well for the middle school.

He said they had good auditions and got some really talented students. Two different casts are performing the show on two different nights.

He said the students have been really getting into the show.

“The kids are so mo-tivated…I don't know how they do it,” Demko said.

He said the students have been keeping in contact with each other about the show. They have also been check-ing out parts of the epi-sodes, movies, and play versions online.

He said at the same time the students have had busy schedules with sports, dance recitals, and a lot more going on.

“It's a real testament to these kids that they've come back at 4:30 (p.m.) to have rehearsals,” Demko said.

Seventh grader Sam Leggett and eighth grad-

er Anna Cook play Go-mez and Morticia Add-ams.

“He's sort of the lively character in it, and he's extremely over the top,” Leggett said of Gomez.

Cook said Morticia is a really interesting character. She said while she might seem like she doesn't show emotion, she does in a quiet way. She loves her family and does get real-ly upset during one part of the show.

“Deep down, she has a ton of emotion,” Cook said.

Cook said this part gives her an opportuni-ty to get out of her com-fort zone.

“I like it because there's a lot of dark hu-mor,” Leggett said.

Leggett has been working with a Spanish accent for Gomez, which he said he has been able to do and didn't need to do a lot of research on.

Cook said one of the biggest challenges for her was working with the many lines, which she said were still man-ageable.

“To me this is a real-ly fun show to do,” Cook said.

“The Addams Fam-ily” will take the stage at Gilford High School Auditorium June 1 and 2 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 each.

by, and observe a gath-ering of one sort or another on the porch, they’ll often wave you in. There is a built-in camaraderie that’s hard to put your finger on, the kind of thing you don’t want to in-vestigate too closely lest it disappear.

Yet owning a back-country camp may be losing some of its mystique and ap-peal. In past years, any spot in the Connecti-cut Lakes Headwaters

Tract that came up for a new lease was snapped right up. This year, several went un-claimed.

In fact, some camp owners who don’t have family members or friends coming up through the ranks are finding it tough sledding to secure the camp’s future.

Sometimes, family members just don’t care about camp or have the time and re-sources to keep it up. This is a sad turn of events, given the hap-py times that have been had at any good camp. It’s the kind of life you think will nev-er end.

Because we leave nothing whatsoever edible in camp, we are not likely to find that we’ve had unwelcome visitors. Oh, the mice will have been there, for sure, mainly seek-

ing a sheltered place to build their nests.

They are impossi-ble to keep out. Some people have surround-ed every window and door with hardware cloth (small-gauge wire netting), and failed. The thing about a mouse, in common with most rodents, is that if it can get its al-most flat head in, the rest of the creature, being squeezable, can follow.

It would be nice if the trail into camp was like that—if your head was there, you could be too.

if you are proper-ly invested, rising or falling interest rates and market volatility should not affect your portfolio to any great

bond funds. There are two types of risk with bond funds. Those are, interest rate risk and

credit risk. If you are in a bond fund or ETF, you do not get the ben-efit of maturity dates. As interest rates rise bonds decrease in val-

That is why we build our clients’ port-folios with individual bonds that have lad-dered maturity dates, where we know at bond maturity, we will get a return of our principal to be reinvested back into the bond market depending on the yield curve. We manage bond portfolios for short du-ration that effects con-vexity. You give up total control in a bond fund! I run across bond funds in brokerage ac-counts that I’m analyz-ing, where the broker is making more than the client!

For the stock or equi-ty portion of the client’s portfolio, MHP asset management will only use very low-cost index funds, ETF’s or individ-ual stocks.

I started with a retail brokerage firm 1994, so I can tell you that I understand why client portfolios coming out of the retail brokerage firms are constructed like they are. Many fund families that are found in most client portfolios pay a hefty commission to the “fi-nancial advisor” and broker-dealer. The fund company also pays a revenue-sharing kickback to the bro-ker-dealer. These trans-actions are disclosed by the broker-dealer, it’s just that hardly anyone reads it.

GILFORD — The Gilford baseball team has had an unbeliev-able season, and last week the team had a 15-0 record going into its final game against White Mountains. The Spartans came to play against the Gold-en Eagles and came away with a 9-2 win, although the game was much closer than the score would indicate.

Alex Muthersbaugh took the hill for Gil-ford against Griffin

Crane and the two pitchers looked like they would be having a duel to start. It was a 2-2 ballgame and both sides were keeping it close until the fifth in-ning, when the wheels fell off for Gilford.

Muthersbaugh gave up a single by Crane to lead off the inning, and he later came around to score to make it a 3-2 game in favor of White Mountains. Cody Boucher came into the game for relief and gave up a single and walked in a run with

the bases load to make it 5-2. Connor Sullivan was brought in for re-lief with no outs and the bases loaded. He got two quick outs but then gave up an RBI single to right to make it 6-2.

Sullivan got out of the inning in a strange way. He threw a wild pitch but catcher T.J. Camilia made a solid play by getting the ad-vancing runner out at the plate.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Gil-ford was rallying with

hopes of making a late comeback. Chandler Mead led off with a single to left and Adri-an Siravo had a single through the hole to left field. Isaac Wal-lace followed up with a walk and the bases were loaded for Muth-ersbaugh.

GILFORD — The Gil-ford High School softball team had a solid win over Prospect Mountain and a tight loss to top ranked White Mountains last week, and the Golden Ea-gles were sitting in eighth place with a 10-5 record at deadline with one game remaining before the state tournament.

On May 21, the Golden Eagles came away with a 6-2 win over Prospect Mountain. Gilford had eight hits and no errors on the day, while Col-by Butterfield and Ella Harris combined for a one-hitter and 14 strike-outs on the day.

Harris pitched four in-nings and had 10 strike-outs, giving up no hits in the win. Butterfield came in and pitched three innings of relief while striking out four batters.

Gilford scored in the first inning when Jillian Lachapelle reached in an infield error and ad-vanced to second base when Harris was walked. Samantha Knowles hit an RBI single to score Lachapelle.

Prospect Mountain answered and took a 2-1 lead in the top of the third inning, but Gilford scored three runs in the third inning to take the lead back, 4-2. Lachapelle started the inning with a double and Knowles knocked her in with an RBI single. Then Alex-is Lacroix reached on a fielder’s choice and Kasey Moore drove in Knowles and Lacroix to take the lead.

Gilford scored two more runs in the sixth inning when Maggie Mc-

Neil reached on an error and scored on a single by Lachapelle. She scored on an RBI double by Har-ris.

Lachapelle and Knowles were the offen-sive leaders with a pair of hits each. Knowles had two RBIs, a steal and a run while Lachapelle had an RBI and three runs scored. Moore had two hits and two RBI. Harris had a double, an RBI and a steal. Lacroix had a run and a steal along with her hit.

On May 22, Gilford nearly knocked off the undefeated Spartans of White Mountains with a 5-4 loss.

Harris pitched six innings with five strike-outs, two walks, nine hits and four runs. But-

terfield had an inning of relief giving up a hit and a run.

Harris got the Gold-en Eagles out of a bases loaded jam with one out in the first inning by striking out two straight batters. It was 0-0 un-til the top of the third when White Mountains scored on two hits. The score was 1-0 until the fifth inning until White Mountains led off with back-to-back singles and a homerun cleared the bases. The Spartans scored one more run in the seventh inning on an infield error and a single.

However, Gilford showed that it never gives up and had a come-back in the bottom of the seventh inning. Emily Smith and Randi Byars

both walked, which was followed by a walk by Lachapelle to load the bases. Harris smashed a two-run double to score Smith and Byars. La-croix then knocked in Lachapelle on an RBI single and Harris scored on a fielder’s choice by Knowles. Gilford had a tying run on third with two outs but the Spartans fended the Golden Eagles off for the win.

Harris was the offen-sive leader with a pair of hits including a dou-ble, as well as two RBIs. Moore had two hits. Lac-roix and Knowles had an RBI each.

Gilford hosted Laco-nia after early deadline on May 25 for the final game of the regular sea-son.

Gilford softball comes up just short against undefeated Spartans

Unified volleyball squad finishes with three wins in a row

BY BOB MARTIN

[email protected]

GILFORD — The Gilford High School unified volleyball team wrapped up the regu-lar season with three wins in a row, includ-ing a 2-0 win on May 22 against Franklin in the final game of the regu-lar season.

After starting 0-2, Gilford had wins against Prospect Mountain, Laconia and then Franklin. Coach Amy Tripp said the win against Laconia on May 14 was very ex-citing with some great rallies, and the win was a bonus. The sets were 25-19, 17-25 and 18-16.

“It really was marked by consistent serving good move-ment and consistent play in particular by Darren Brown and Greg Madore,” said Tripp.

Gilford then hosted Franklin on Tuesday and had sets of 25-20, 25-4 and 15-7.

“Our goal is to have three hits on each possession (pass, set, spike) and we did that a number of times in the game,” said Tripp. “Cory McDowell did a great job moving into position to receive the ball. Angie Bonnell went for every ball div-ing all over the court,

Erin Gately was consis-tent from the serving line and Allison Paige had good movement also.”

Tripp said the uni-fied volleyball team has really come togeth-er this season. At the end of the game against Franklin she asked her players if anyone had positive comments to say to the team, and one girl said she felt the team had a special bond that only comes from athletics. She said when asking the play-ers at the beginning of the season why they played unified volley-ball, one athlete said he liked meeting new peo-ple while another liked that it is less competi-tive than volleyball in the fall.

Unified sports have been in existence since 1988 when it was adopt-ed by the Special Olym-pics. It was launched in July at the Special Olympics Conference in Reno, Nevada and Lake Tahoe, California according to specia-lolympics.org. The pro-gram, which involves thousands of people around the world, is focused on breaking down stereotypes of people with intellec-tual disabilities. It in-volves “athletes” and “partners” who work

together and gather a better understanding of unity and sports-manship.

“The reasons why I think unified athletics

are an important part of school culture in general is that it gives students that other-wise wouldn’t be a part of athletic teams the

chance to participate,” said Tripp. “Not only do they participate but they gain life skills like teamwork, communi-cation, formation of

new friendships, physi-cal fitness, hand-eye co-ordination, and many other characteristics that you get when you play sports on a team.”

Wolves looking for U18 and U16 players

LACONIA — The New England Wolves U18 and U16 split sea-son hockey teams are looking for a few more hockey players for the 2018 fall season. Team is open to ex-perienced skaters in birth years 2000-2003. The Wolves are mem-

bers of the New En-gland Premier Hockey League. For more info, contact General Man-ager Andrew Trimble at [email protected] or visit the Wolves website at www.americanhock-eyinstitute.com.

of their games. Just as Wilson said, there was an aggressive ap-proach by the players and it led to big wins. Christian Workman, Tyler Hanf and Mike Eisenmann all had 8-0 victories, while Colton Workman had an 8-1 win. The combination of Christian Workman and Hanf in doubles se-cured the victory with an 8-3 win.

Eisenmann said his focus was moving his

opponent, Joe DePal-ma, around the court and make him commit unforced errors. He said another big thing was making his serves count. Colton Work-man said he spent more time coming up to the net, which his brother, Christian, agreed with.

“If he hit a short ball and hit it to the side, I’d make him run and hit it the other way,” said Christian Work-man. “Coach Wilson has been trying to push us to do that. Bow did that same thing to us.”

Hanf said the team

looked much better in the last two matches. He said the team is bouncing on their feet and ready for the ball to come to them.

“We are more fo-cused now without a doubt,” said Hanf.

Since Gilford has had experience in the finals for eight of the last nine years, the Golden Eagles know the courts at the Der-ryfield School well, which is where the fi-nals were set to take place (after deadline Tuesday).

“They are very fa-miliar with Derry-field,” said Wilson. “It is going to be great ten-nis next Tuesday.”

confusion doubled off a runner to end the in-ning.

The Spartans tacked on three more runs in the sixth inning to make it 9-2 and held on the rest of the way to hand Gilford its only loss of the season. This was redemption for White Mountains, who saw their unde-feated season disap-pear when Gilford handed the Spartans a loss on May 16. White Mountains ended the regular season 13-2 in second place behind Gilford.

While dreams of an undefeated season fiz-zled for Gilford, the team is surely pleased with its sole posses-sion of first place and a bye going into the state tournament.

“We feel really good about where we are at going into the tour-nament,” said coach Eric Duquette, who in his first season at the helm has done a top notch job bringing Gil-ford from a middle of the pack team to a top seeded powerhouse. “The bye has our pitch-ing set up with both

Adrian and Isaac avail-able. If we do every-thing right we should have them available for every game. I think the White Mountains game, even though it was 2-2 in the fifth, it was a good wake up call for us to focus on things we need to work on and improve.”

Duquette said fol-lowing the loss the team has been practic-ing hard. He said the practice immediately following the loss had the intensity of a game, which isn’t often seen.

“We are ready to

play,” said Duquette. “We’ve got to have quality at bats, put the ball in play and cut down on our strikeouts offensively. We need to rely on our pitch-ers to throw strikes, and play good defense. It’s the same formula that got us to 15-1 and a bye. We just need to tighten up a few things and be more mental-ly focused. If we are mentally focused from start to finish we have the chance to beat any-one. It should be a fun tournament.”
