Court finds for town in Varney caseBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Editor

NEW DURHAM — A Strafford County judge has found in favor of the town of New Durham in the case involving for-mer fire chief Peter Var-ney.

Varney had contend-ed that the New Durham Board of Selectmen re-moved him from office at a time he was serving a three-year term and that the board’s action violat-ed a state law ensuring that a fire chief serves a full term.

The town moved for summary judgment on the ground that the statute does not apply. The town says the se-lectboard appointed a new fire chief after Var-ney’s term of office had expired and the he had continued in office in a “hold-over” status that ended upon the appoint-ment of his successor.

Presiding Justice Bri-an Tucker agreed with the town’s position and entered summary judg-ment in the town’s favor.

“The court applies the familiar test applicable to summary judgment motions,” the summary judgment reads. “In this case, it is whether the evidence viewed in the light most favorable to Mr. Varney establishes there is no genuine is-sue of material fact and that the town is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” The summary judgment cited Town of Newington v. State, 162 N.H. 745, 747 (2011).

Background infor-mation included in the summary judgment fol-lows. By a warrant arti-cle adopted in March of 2008, New Durham ap-proved a reorganization and restructuring of the town’s fire department, which provided for a fire chief appointed by the local governing body for a three-year term. On May 11, 2009, the board of selectmen appointed Varney as fire chief for a three-year term end-ing in March 2012. His term ended, but the se-lectboard made no new appointment and Var-ney continued to serve as fire chief until Feb. 3 when the board ap-pointed a replacement. Between the end of his term and Feb. 2014, the

town paid Varney for his work as fire chief and he remained responsible for the duties of the po-sition.

RSA 154:5 provides in relevant part that

I. The … fire chief who is appointed, rather than elected in any town … shall be appointed for the indefinite period of time or for a definite term, as determined by the legislative body and the tenure of office shall depend upon good con-duct and efficiency…

II. Such … fire chief shall be subject to … dismissal only for cause and after he or she has been presented with a written specification of reasons…

Both parties agreed that the selectboard did not remove Varney “for cause” and that it did not present him “with a written specification of reasons” for replac-ing him. According to Varney, when the board allowed him to stay in office without making a new appointment, it amounted to his tacit re-

appointment as fire chief for another three-year term. He contends his status as an appointed

fire chief meant he could not be removed from of-fice, as described in RSA 154:5. Relying on other

statutes, the town said Varney was a hold-over appointee who contin-ued to serve as fire chief

until the selectmen made a new appointment.

Costs going up for Barnstead Adventure ZoneAfter school program earns praise from superintendent

BY ELIZABETH CANTRALL

Contributing Writer

BARNSTEAD — The Barnstead School Board met in the elementa-ry school media center on March 24 in its first meeting since town elec-tions.

New member Lyla Adkins is now the school board secretary.

Diane Beijer is chair-person and Genevieve Michaud is vice-chair-person.

Rachael Byers, the after school program director, presented the board with a Barnstead Adventure Zone (BAZ) program presentation.

Byers stated the pro-gram was having dif-ficulties with students leaving early and so a request was sent home

to parents for students to stay until the program ends each day at 5 p.m.

She stated the BAZ program would be more successful when run with the full capacity of students.

Principal Tim Rice agreed stating that part of the 21st Centu-ry Grant, which funds the program, focuses on working with young people who need extra guidance or supervision. Rice observed these stu-dents are not able to re-ceive that extra help if they are dismissing ear-ly from the program.

Byers also went over the financials of the pro-gram and some antici-pated cost increases.

Currently, according to Byers, the program

serves 60 students and most pay $2 per day or $10 per week, but those who receive free or re-duced lunch (18 of the 60 students) are in the pro-gram free of charge.

However, the Depart-ment of Education ad-vised Byers to increase the cost of the program, and since looking into other after school pro-grams, she agreed.

Byers also stated she felt the cost increase was necessary to make the program viable in future years when the grant money is no longer ac-cessible.

She proposed the cost increase to $10 per day or $50 per week for most stu-dents. Those on reduced price lunch would pay $4 per day or $20 per week

and the program would still be free of charge for those students receiving free lunches.

Byers stated her ad-visory board members agreed the program was worth the money. Ad-ditionally, she told the school board by increas-ing costs to this level she hoped to keep from hav-ing it continually climb in costs.

The new fees would begin July 1 when the second year of the pro-gram kicks off.

Superintendent John Fauci observed that since the initial costs of BAZ were artificial-ly low it makes the in-crease seem very large, but he agreed it was nec-essary.

After acknowledg-ing what a rough start the BAZ program had, Fauci told the board he could not remember the last time there was a

problem with it and he credited Byers with the success.

“My compliments to you, job well done,” Fau-ci told Byers.

The board unani-mously agreed to the new fee structure for the BAZ program.

Smarter Balance The Smarter Balance

assessments had begun but there appeared to be glitch in the system.

The problem, accord-ing to Rice, was not at the school level but did exist within the Barn-stead portal keeping some students from com-pleting the math portion of the exam.

Rice stated he had contacted the New En-gland regional represen-tative, but had not yet heard back regarding how to resolve the issue.

No bomb found after threat at Johnson’s

NEW DURHAM — On Monday, March 30, at 4:29 p.m., the New Durham Police Depart-ment responded to John-son’s Seafood and Steak Restaurant on Route 11 for a threat of a bomb possibly somewhere in the building. According to the reports, an anon-ymous call was made to the business stating they had placed a bomb somewhere in the build-ing.

Police arrived and evacuated the restau-

rant and the store. The area was cordoned off and an interior and exte-rior search of the build-ings was done. Nothing was located in either building and patrons were allowed back in the buildings. The in-vestigation is ongoing, and anyone having any information is urged to call New Durham Po-lice at 859-2751. The New Durham Police were assisted at the scene by the New Durham Fire Department.

Town employees praise Jarvis for her workBY CATHY ALLYN

Contributing Writer

NEW DURHAM — Carole Ingham has been Town Clerk in New Durham for 19 years and has seen a lot of boards of selectmen. When Se-lectperson Theresa Jar-vis left office, Ingham and other Town Hall em-ployees wanted the pub-lic to know that when they needed Jarvis for anything, “she was here for us.”

A two-term select-person, Jarvis has func-tioned in multiple ca-pacities throughout the years including sitting on the Trustees of the Trust Funds, the Zoning Board of Adjustment and Food Pantry Board of Directors and serving as Emergency Manage-ment Director.

“She is well-versed in all aspects of the town,” Ingham said.

Jarvis has logged more than 1,200 volun-teer hours since 2007. That figure is closer to 9,000 if you count from the time she moved to town in 1976.

She credits her no-tion of giving back to her community as coming from her parents. “They believed in helping out other people; that was how they lived and how I was raised.”

Both of her parents were active in New Durham life after follow-ing Jarvis and her hus-band, the late Mark Jar-

vis, here to retire. They both served as town au-ditors and Rachel Mur-ray participated in the Fire Belles, the ladies auxiliary of the fire de-partment and served as chairperson of the Li-brary Trustees when the library was built.

“Compared to my time given to the town, my mother could run circles around me,” Jarvis said. “Whenev-er someone needed an extra pair of hands, my dad was the one to call.”

Honored by the New Hampshire Municipal Association with the Outstanding Municipal Volunteer Award, they were also named Citi-zens of the Year in New Durham.

Jarvis, therefore, came from a back-ground of giving your all. That would include knowledge and exper-tise, which has benefited the town.

“Her knowledge of working with the state was a big help to me in my role as welfare clerk,” Laura Zuzgo said. “She’d worked within the system, so she was more knowl-edgeable than some peo-ple might be.”

With a Bachelor’s De-gree in nursing, Jarvis worked 33 years for the state. Overall, her work experience, which she calls “unique,” ranged from teaching nursing students, being Bureau

Chief of the state’s Resi-dential Care and Health Care, doing legal work for the Childhood Lead Poison Prevention Unit, obtaining an Associates Degree in fire science, to being a certified public manager.

No longer working full-time, Jarvis is a staff instructor at the state fire academy and volun-teers for the American Red Cross.

Giving your all also encompasses some blood, sweat and tears, and Town Hall staff says that’s where she shines.

“She’s very willing to roll up her sleeves and pitch in,” Zuzgo said. “She painted book shelves and helped clean and organize when we prepared for renova-tions at Town Hall. Ter-ry would do anything.”

Ingham remembers Jarvis painting ceilings in Town Hall, proofing the Town Report and helping stuff tax bills. “She is geared toward keeping Town Hall go-ing.”

Deputy Town Clerk Stephanie MacKenzie called her “a team play-er with town employ-ees.” She went on to say that Jarvis had an area of expertise that applied to maintaining the welfare of employ-ees. “She was cautious about the safety of the actual building, mak-ing certain that alarms worked, hallways were

kept clear in case of fire, and that doorways were properly closed.”

“We have a host of things that selectmen need to sign,” Ingham added. “We’ll miss that Terry lived right down the street and could al-ways pop in to help us meet our deadlines.”

Ingham said that the “hands-on” selectperson also helped other depart-ments.

Police Chief Shawn Bernier noted her great support of public safety in town. “She’d come in and talk to us. She’d ask questions regarding what was going on in the police department.”

Jarvis said she first felt the need to get in-volved because she wanted to see New Durham “balance grow-ing in population while retaining the rural feel.” She is a propo-nent of retaining town services. “The school tax rate would increase and there was a reaction to cut town services to counter that,” she said. “I wanted to find a way to be more efficient and effective to save mon-ey.”

Bulk purchasing, col-laborating on oil and fuel, and bundling com-munications, along with zero based budgeting proved to be a “team ef-fort that cut the tax rate and allowed our services to continue.”

Jarvis encourag-

es people to volunteer “because this is their community.” She said younger people need to become more active. “New blood and new ideas are always wel-come, and will continue to make New Durham a great place to live.”

Will she be restless with more time on her hands? “I fully intend to have fun. I have a lot of plans,” she said, cit-ing reading, sewing and travel. One of her first stops will be England,

where her mother hailed from. “I still have family there and haven’t visit-ed since I was three.”

And she won’t be leaving Town Hall en-tirely.

“A good part of her life was dedicated to this job and the town,” MacKenzie said.

Zuzgo pointed out, “She told us when she left that she’d be glad to do anything to help us, and to just give her a call. She’s still an inte-gral part of this town.”

OpinionOpinionOpinionTime to move on

The issue with former fire chief Peter Varney has significantly divided residents of New Durham over the last few years.

The pages of this newspaper have been filled with many letters on both sides of the issue, many contentious. It’s disappointing that tempers have become so flared over this issue, but we understand that people are passionate about the subject and when peo-ple are passionate, things tend to get heated.

While we weren’t at the most recent New Durham Board of Selectmen’s meeting (we don’t have a full-time reporter available to cover everything), the minutes reveal that Selectmen David Bickford and Gregory Anthes voted (Selectman David Swenson opposed) to bring back Varney as fire chief with the condition that the lawsuit between Varney and the town is settled mutually be-tween both parties. This happened before Justice Brian Tucker issued his judgment in favor of the town in the case just a day later.

We have no problem with Mr. Varney. There has never been any issues laid out by the town that led to his position not be-ing reappointed, but the selectmen do have the right to reappoint or not reappoint. We assume there were reasons, but again, we don’t know what those reasons were.

Lawsuits are a sticky situation for anyone and when a town goes to court, it’s taxpay-ers’ dollars that are being spent, so its im-portant that things are done correctly.

The decision that was made by Justice Tucker in favor of the town should really bring an end to this saga. This is a decision made by an independent justice, someone with no connection to New Durham, some-one with no ties to the community or no pre-existing relationships with those in-volved in the case. Yes, we know not every-one will be happy, but we believe that when a decision is made by the court, it should be accepted.

We want this to be the end. We want the constant back-and-forth fighting to end and we want to see New Durham move forward in the right direction.

To the right of this we publish a letter from New Durham resident Cecile Chase asking the selectmen to move on from this issue and focus on moving New Durham forward as a community. We couldn’t agree more. Chase asks for the selectmen to put aside their differences, accept the court rul-ing and get back to the business at hand, which is running the town.

We agree with her point that much good has been done by selectboards in the past and we are hopeful that this ruling allows the selectmen to get back to focus on the im-portant issues in front of them and not on the issues that are in the rearview mirror.

We want only the best for New Durham. We want there to be peace amongst residents and we hope that this settlement will at least provide some closure on the issue that has divided the town for the past few years.

New Durham is a great community and we have never liked seeing it get torn apart like it was. We want to focus on the good things going on and we hope that can happen mov-ing forward.

Happy 107thIt was quite a celebration at Shibley’s this week as Thelma Chandler, long time resident of Black Point Derbyside in Alton Bay, celebrated her 107th birthday. Age certainly hasn’t diminished her appetite as she demolished a huge lobster roll and topped it off with a slice of birthday cake big enough for several people. Many of her friends from the local area were on hand to help her celebrate. Chandler said, “I hope to celebrate my next birthday with another lobster roll. They’re great.”

To the Editor:To the Selectmen, town of New Durham, I learned

today that the Peter Varney vs. Town of New Durham lawsuit has been settled in favor of the town of New Durham.

It is now time to put the issues surrounding that lawsuit and the leadership of the New Durham Fire Department to rest and move on with the important business of managing our municipality in the best interest of its citizens. We have experienced an ex-tended period of division and rancor surrounding this single issue, allowing personal sentiments to rule, at times to the detriment of town management. It is time to move on. Each of you was elected based on your expertise, intelligence and management skills, your willingness to be impartial, to act in the public good. It is time to put aside your differences, accept that the court has ruled and get to the business at hand. In light of this ruling, I urge you to recon-sider your decision of March 23 to reappoint Peter

Varney to the position of fire chief and allow the fire department to operate under the management of Mr. McCaffrie until a suitable permanent replacement is found. That is the only sensible course of action that is in the best interest of our entire community.

Much good has been accomplished by the past selectboards and I have every confidence that you three will be able to focus on the important issues yet to be decided and not allow the emotions of a very few to bring the management of the town to its knees. The employees, volunteers and elected offi-cials look to you all, working together, to bring calm, sensibility, and civility back to our town govern-ment. We, the citizens of New Durham, need those values to return as well. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

Please let me know if I can assist you in any way.

To the Editor:On Sunday, March 29, yoga instructor Sheila Mar-

ston led a “yoga mala” at the New Durham Library to benefit the New Durham Community Food Pan-try. Sheila led the group in completing 108 “Yoga sun salutations.” Each salutation involved 12 separate physical exercises and the event took more than three hours. The group felt a spirit of apprecia-tion and giving back to the wonderful folks in New

Durham who volunteer their time to keep the food pantry, an important part of the community. In this beautiful Easter season, reflections on the words of the Dalai Lama ring through – “Love and compas-sion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, hu-manity cannot survive.”

Explaining the daycare decision

BY DOT VEISEL AND JEN NYMAN

New Durham

We would like to take a moment of your time to explain the decision by the New Durham Parks and Recreation Commis-sion (PRC), which led to Selectman Bickford’s refusal to reappoint us to the commission at the March 23 meeting of the board of selectmen. His stated reason at that meeting was that he is “still smarting from the PRC decision to close the day care and he needed time to heal.” While we accept the decision and the need to heal, we have been asked by many res-idents in the community to explain the circum-stances, which led up to his statement.

A review of the min-utes of the Sept. 16, 2013 meeting of the PRC shows that the commis-sioners were told that night by a school employ-ee about the scheduled removal of the gym floor planned for the summer of 2014. We were told the floor contained asbestos and we needed to find an alternative site for the childcare program for the summer. This course of action, however, would not be confirmed until the school budget, funding this project, was passed by voters in March of 2014. Mr. Bick-ford is listed as being present at that meeting and so was aware of this discussion.

Between October and the March voting day, time was spent investi-gating the possible neg-ative effects of exposure to asbestos to staff and children as the floor was being removed. The information gathered prompted the commis-sion to make a decision that our primary respon-sibility was to protect the children and our staff from any health hazards and the town from the li-ability that could result. The budget passed, the floor removal scheduled and the PRC set about immediately research-ing alternatives. Sever-al work sessions were scheduled to explore options. The assistant di-rector of the library, the interim fire chief, and the code enforcement officer stepped up in a spirit of co-operation to

assist. Chief MacCaffrie offered the use of the Community Room for children to eat lunch and access to their kitchen to allow us to store lunches, snacks and cold drinks. Cathy Allyn planned to expand her children’s program to allow us maximum time in the library. We even talked about setting a tent up beside the library to pro-vide us space and allow us access to bathroom facilities. A program of walking field trips to Club Pond and the ball fields was set up. We had been told we could not access the school playground because of the disposal units that would be on site so we considered moving the

program to the town beach to allow children to take advantage of the summer swim lessons. We also surveyed day care facilities in other neighboring towns and found there were open spots available in their summer program. A gra-cious town resident who was willing to open her home and her property for the summer stepped up to assist these fami-lies.

The licensing divi-sion was notified of our need to temporarily relo-cate the site. Their initial input was that it could be allowed on a tempo-rary basis. A follow-up call from them over a week later notified us that since we would not

be spending anytime at the primary site, the school, we would need to be relicensed for the new locations, a process which would probably take seven to 10 weeks due to a shortage of staff.

At this juncture we sent a poll to parents in an effort to determine their intent to enroll their children in the summer program. Polls were sent by e-mail and staff was directed to dis-tribute written copies to all parents. Responses indicate we could expect two full time children and four children on a part-time basis. The con-tracted summer rate is $100 per week, which is less than $1.70 per hour for the 60 hours of day

care provided per week. We could not fiscally run and staff a program with those low numbers. Two months before the end of school the PRC unan-imously voted to send out a letter notifying parents that the summer program would not be offered but we would re-open in the fall. The PRC did not receive any feed-back from any families in the program, either at a meeting or by any other form of communi-cation.

The PRC decision was made to protect the best interests of the children, staff, and the taxpayers of New Durham who would be ultimately bear the liability if any nega-tive side effects from ex-

posure to asbestos were to surface later. If we had run this program knowing the potential health risks, the town in-surance company would have been within their right to refuse to cover any costs or damages. Projected enrollment numbers did not justify programming and staff-ing expenses associated with relocating the pro-gram. We assure you that this decision was not made lightly and that every effort was made to accommodate those families left without day care last summer. Public servants often need to step up and make diffi-cult decisions to protect the best interests of all residents in town.

Teacher of the YearWhen Liz Lichtenberg, New Hampshire Teacher of the Year, spoke in the Fall of 2014 to members of the Alton Centennial Club, her presentation and dedication to teaching so impressed club members that they voted to give her money with the stipulation it be used to further her objectives as a teacher. In response, she, along with another middle school sixth grade teacher, will have selected for them by Rotarians who’ll meet and talk with her students, two who show a passion and dedi-cation for achieving a particular goal in their life. Both teach-ers will donate their time and teaching skills to mentoring and guiding them for a school year and improve their chances for success. Lichtenberg was introduced by Rotarian Justin Avery.

April is my favorite month. Spring flowers are springing out of the snow, songbirds are ar-riving from the south and, of course, "salmon season" opens on the first day of April. If you don't see fisher-people on the bridge in Alton Bay, then the ice is not out yet.

April first is the end of the hard water or ice fishing season. All bob houses must be off the ice now. You may fish for salmon, lake trout and rainbows if you can find some open water. As I write this, there is still two feet of ice in the Bay, but this rain might help melt it. If you want to catch one of these sky rocketing fish, now is a good time, while they are feeding in the shallows. Most salmon fisher-peo-ple troll lures, spinners, or streamer flies that imitate smelt. Others sew on live smelt to their hooks. A big juicy night crawler works well, too. There are different rules about the number

of hooks you may use in different lakes, so be sure to check the rule book.

Colors that work well here most of the time are red, yellow, orange. At other times pink and purple work well. You have to have your line in the water to catch these fish. Make sure your fly or lure is running true and not twisting your line. Also, check often for bits of debris you might pick up from the water. You can start fishing in the shallows and go to-wards deeper waters un-til you figure out where the salmon are and what they are biting on.

You may use two lines, and you can keep two fish from the salm-on, lake trout, or rain-bow catches. It can be two from one species, ie two salmon, or one from two different species, ie a rainbow and a salmon. Salmon and rainbows must be at least 15 inches long and lake trout need to be at least 18 inches long in Winnie. It dif-fers in other lakes so be sure to check the rules.

If you prefer bass, April 1-May 14 you may keep two bass with no length limit.

The fishing seasons are opening and the hunting seasons are clos-ing. Hunting for coyote, fox, opossum, skunk and raccoon is now closed and April 10 ends the season for beaver, otter, mink, muskrat and wea-sel. Next month is my second favorite month, watch here next month and I'll tell you why.

As the snow melts it reveals lots of trash. Why would anyone want to soil this beautiful area we have? It is not only on the roadsides, but float-ing in the water. I greatly dislike dodging the float-ing trash while fishing and the need to clean my lines because of catching junk. If you bring it in, bring it out. We can all do our part to help keep it clean and green.

Sugar detox program offered in WolfeboroWOLFEBORO — Do

you constantly crave sugar? Do you have un-stable energy or have a hard time focusing? Do you have a hard time losing weight or have ex-cess belly fat? If you said “yes” to any of these then sugar could be at fault.

The average Ameri-can consumes over 150 pounds of added sugar

each year. This, along with regular consump-tion of processed flour and grains, can cause blood sugar swings, which can affect our mood as well as our abil-ity to lose weight. It can also affect our health. Excess sugar has been linked to many chronic health conditions in-cluding obesity, heart disease and diabetes.

Patty Walker, a Reg-istered Dietitian, Certi-fied Diabetes Educator and Health Coach has a solution.

“Most Americans have a sugar addiction and don’t even know it,” says Walker. “Sugar comes from foods like cereals, ketchup and even salad dressings in addition to candy, cook-ies, bagels and donuts.”

Essentially all foods that contain carbohydrates (starches, grains, sug-ars, fruits, milk and yo-gurt and legumes) can cause sugar cravings. Needing to eat every few hours or getting cranky if your meal is late are signs that you may have a sugar addiction.

The solution is awareness and action. Walker is proud to in-troduce her five-week Sugar Detox Program to help people who want to eliminate or reduce sugar cravings. The pro-gram involves three pri-mary phases where par-ticipants will gradually reduce consumption of carbohydrates while re-moving sugars, refined grains and flours and replacing them with healthy, low glycemic choices.

Walker recently tri-aled her program with a

group of 10 participants. The results were fan-tastic. All participants stated their sugar crav-ings were now “occa-sional” or “not at all.” Participants also noted improved mood, skin, hearing and all enjoyed weight loss (average loss of 6.5 lbs per per-son). One participant had this to say about the program: “Eye-open-ing…It has the potential to change my life sig-nificantly over the long term.” Additional testi-monials can be found at Walker’s web site, www.ccdnwc.com.

The program meets weekly at Still Waters Health and Wellness Center at 6 Grove St. in Wolfeboro on Tuesday nights from 7 to 8 p.m. starting April 28 and ending May 26. Each

Cast putting finishing touches on The MousetrapOpening night set for April 10 at Village Players Theater

WOLFEBORO — Af-ter three months of re-hearsals, the cast of The Mousetrap is just about ready to let the public in on the murder mystery from Agatha Christie.

Director Cate Poole is excited to bring the show to the Village Players stage.

"I am so pleased to bring this classic Agatha Christie murder mys-tery to the Village Play-ers stage,” Poole stated. “Her characters are col-orful, memorable and all suspicious.

“In typical Agatha fashion, she drops clues to the mystery all along the way, but they only seem to come together in the shocking end," Poole continues.

With a snowstorm seemingly stranding the Monkswell Manor guests in the newly-opened guesthouse, everyone quickly becomes a sus-pect when Detective Ser-geant Trotter (Village Players newcomer Drew Collins) shows up at the door looking to solve a murder and convinced that the murderer is go-ing to strike again, this time at Monkswell Man-or. Hosts Mollie (Mara Lamb) and Giles (Steve Burgess) Ralston and

their guests quickly be-gin to turn on each other, with everyone trying to figure out how the oth-er people might be in-volved.

The guests include the eccentric Christopher Wren (Danny Catala-no), the secretive Miss Casewell (Emily Marsh), the grating Mrs. Boyle (Helen Rautenberg), the unrattled Major Met-calf (Brooks Campbell) and the mysterious Mr. Paravicini (Ernie Bass), who has seemingly come from out of nowhere to the guest house.

As the actors have grown to know their characters, Poole has been impressed with how they have brought the words on the page to life on the stage.

"We have been re-hearsing for three months and it shows in the actor's performanc-es,” Poole said. “They each bring their own sense of the character and a deep understand-ing of motivations, atti-tudes and actions.

“This is a marvelous cast who continues to astound me with their talent," she added.

Poole is excited for au-diences to visit the the-ater and see the murder

DETECTIVE SERGEANT TROTTER (Drew Collins) arrives at Monkswell Manor to talk about a murder.

mystery unfold before their eyes on the Village Players stage.

"The key to a good performance is being able to get lost in the sto-ry and forget that you are watching actors on stage,” Poole said. “I be-lieve we have reached that cherished point in

the process and audienc-es will be talking about this production through our short run at the the-atre and beyond."

Poole is being assist-ed by Jay Sydow, with Joshua Spaulding serv-ing as the show’s pro-ducer. Matthew Johnson will be operating lights

and sound, while Kay-lin Dean serves as the stage manager and Au-tumn-Lea Bickford as house manager.

The Mousetrap is sponsored in part by William Marsh MD and Eastern Oil and Propane.

The show will take the stage on Friday, April

10, Saturday, April 11, Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18, all at 8 p.m. and will finish up on Sunday, April 19, at 2 p.m.

Obituaryn

ALTON — Mardie Swaffield Widerstrom was born Dec. 20, 1920, at the New England Baptist Hospital in Boston, Mass., to Ethel Austin Churchill and Frank Montague Swaf-field. She had one sis-ter, Frances “Frankie” McDowell. Mardie died on Jan. 10 at her home. She was 94 years young.

She spent her early years in Somerville, Mass., and enjoyed ev-ery summer at Lake Winnipesaukee with her cousins and other relatives.

They moved to New Haven, Conn., and there, she attended the Gateway Prep School for Girls. In 1942, she graduated from Welles-ley College with a BA in zoology. Upon gradua-tion, she taught chem-istry and biology, first at Beaver Country Day School in Brookline, Mass., and later back at the Gateway Prep School.

She married Wil-bert F. Widerstrom in New Haven in 1945. They raised their four children in Westfield, N.J. In 1959, she taught nursery school at Wardlaw Prep. There, she met Dr. Sam Gold-worth, who taught the teachers behavior mod-ification, thus changing the dynamics in their classrooms. Mardie returned to college at Newark State for ele-

mentary public school teacher certification. From 1968-1981, she taught kindergarten at Brunner School in Scotch Plains, N.J.

She was open and progressive, this made her an innovative and highly creative teacher. She brought her love of language, nature, music and the arts and taught through that prism. She used behav-ior modification, and spring-boarding off the book “I’m OK, You’re OK For Children,” taught her kindergar-teners how to commu-nicate their feeling to others in a new and healthy way. Before it was in the collective consciousness and school systems, she rec-ognized children with learning disabilities and with the support of their parents directed them to outside special-ists.

She created “rap ses-sion” for and with the parents interconnect-ing school and home in

their children’s lives and for all of this she was recognized.

In 1982, Mardie and Wil retired to “the lake.” She loved work-ing with the land. It was her canvas and flowers bloomed everywhere. She raked and shoveled deep into her 80s. Clas-sical music was her soul food, whether lis-tening or watching the greats or playing her piano, she was in her element.

She continue refin-ishing antiques, writ-ing poetry, and cooking incredibly delicious food. She got endless pleasure being part of the large Swaffield family and in her later years treasured the vis-its from all the genera-tions who came to call.

The last couple of years of Mardie’s life was enriched by a team of beautiful women, caregivers who brought dignity, heart and boun-tiful good humor into her life. We are deeply appreciative.

She leaves behind David, Sally, Karen, Eric, Britt, Erik, Ka-tie, Jack, Nora and her deeply cherished rela-tives and friends.

Her life will be cel-ebrated June 20 at the Mirror Lake Commu-nity Church. In lieu of flowers, she would want you to share your kindness and generosi-ty with others.

NEW DURHAM — Rose (Casale) Mi-chalski (39 forever) of Coburn Woods Road in New Durham, died March 23 at Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester.

Born in Beverly, Mass., daughter of An-thony and Angela (Me-nesale) Casale, she re-sided there until 1972, when she moved to Tuftonboro and also re-sided in Wolfeboro and lived in New Durham since 2002.

A retired school teacher, she was em-ployed at Governor

Wentworth Region-al School District for years.

Rose enjoyed read-ing and time spent at the cottage on Upper Suncook Lake. She especially loved time spent with her family and dog Jenny. Also, she enjoyed the Ogun-quit Playhouse with her friends and Rose would “shop til you drop.”

She is survived by her four children, Da-vid Michalski, Rob-ert Michalski, Paul Michalski and Diane Michalski; 13 grand-

children; one great grandchild; two broth-ers, Michael Casale and Vincent Casale; also many nieces and nephews.

A mass of Christian burial was celebrated on Friday, March 27, at 11 a.m. at St. Katharine Drexel Church in Alton with Fr. Robert F. Cole, pastor, as celebrant. Interment will be at a later date at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Beverly, Mass. If desired, me-morial donations may be made in her mem-ory to the American Diabetes Association. Arrangements are by Peaslee Funeral Home, to express condolenc-es, please visit www.peasleefuneralhome.com.

G E O R G E T O W N , Texas — Warren L. Ad-ams Jr. passed away at Saint David’s Hospital Georgetown, Texas on March 24 at the age of 72, after a period of fail-ing health.

Warren is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Ardis “Ardie.” They were married in Alton on Sept. 24, 1960.

Warren is loving-ly remembered by his sons, Brian (Kasandra) of San Jose, Calif., Tony (Jonah) of Round Rock, Texas; daughter, Tra-cy of Dallas, Texas and Kristin of Georgetown Texas; grandchildren, Christina (San Jose, Calif.) Brandon (Dallas, Texas) Zack (George-town, Texas) Gabby (Round Rock, Texas) and Ellie (Round Rock, Texas); brother Wil-liam (Brenda) Adams of Wakefield and Lake-land, Fla.; sister Patri-cia (Alan) Wentworth of Alton; sister-in-law Claudia Phillips of

Forestdale Mass.; also many nieces, nephews and cousins

Warren was prede-ceased by his father, Warren L. Adams Sr. (1994), mother Myrtle B. Adams (2003) and broth-er-in-law Grant Phillips (2002).

Warren was born in Melrose, Mass. in April 11, 1942. In 1954 the fam-ily moved to Alton. He graduated from Alton High School in 1960 and went on to enlist in the Navy for four years. He moved to Cape Cod, Mass. to raise his fam-ily and worked at New

England Telephone Company. Then in 1979, he moved with his fam-ily to San Jose, Calif. to work for AT&T Compa-ny. In 2002 Warren relo-cated to Austin, Texas and in 2013 retired from working. Warren was a very hard worker his whole life doing his best to provide for his fami-ly.

Warren enjoyed playing basketball and baseball in high school. When he moved to Cal-ifornia he became a fan of the San Francisco Gi-ants baseball team and the San Francisco 49ers football team. He would proudly wear his team’s clothing on the week-ends. He participated in bowling leagues in Massachusetts and Cal-ifornia. He also enjoyed walking, crossword puz-zles and reading.

You will be missed by all, but not forgotten. A celebration of his life was held with his family on Saturday March 28.

Town Address Type Price Seller Buyer

The Winnipesaukee TalkieRenovate or sell “as is?” That is the question

BY RANDY HILMAN

Contributing Writer

You're planning to sell your home. You've lived in it more than 15 years, made a few improvements in that time and now you're ready to turn the page to the new chapter of your earthly journey.

Naturally, you want the best possible price, with the least amount of hassle. But what's it going to take to get top dollar in the current market? Will a renovation help, or should you sell your house just as it is, fixing only those items which are related to mainte-nance?

It depends on a number of factors, not the least of which is the spread be-tween your adjusted basis (original cost plus capital replacements/improve-ments) and the net sale price. It is also important to remember that one should not over renovate. That's because renova-tions add value only to the extent that they bring your home in line with area homes competing for the same buyers and sim-ilar homes that have sold.

Having said this, though, I tend to favor renovations, especially the less expensive kind, because it is my experi-ence that sparkling homes priced to market tend to sell fast and achieve the best prices.

The realtor you've chosen to list your home should be able to share insights that are appro-priate to and will com-plement your particular financial situation and return on investment.

The practical truth is that buyers, especially those in our buyer driven market, don't care what you paid for your home or how much you invested in it over the years. They are seeking ownership benefits today and they perceptually equate those benefits with value.

Buyers quickly sense what works for them and what doesn't. What they see when touring a home influences their perception of value. The response is visceral, not rational. It is only their conscious minds that try to rationalize the feelings they experience.

People who flip hous-es for a living know this principle all too well. One's mind processes the

value of what one sees. Unless structural and mechanical systems are completely worn out and require immediate re-placement, buyers will tend to accept older equip-ment and structural ele-ments like furnaces and roofs, if the living spaces feel fresh, contemporary and accommodating.

This is why you should consider investing in low cost enhancements that will improve the price/value relationship.

Freshly painted rooms in neutral tones adds con-siderable value relative to cost. Nicely polished wood floors enhance the quality feel of interior spaces. New carpeting adds bounce under foot.

Just like people, homes get old and tired. The eye goes to wear and tear. It also goes to style.

Assess your kitchen's cabinetry with the help of a kitchen specialist or professional home stager. I have seen paint and the latest contemporary hard-ware transform cabinets into remarkably attrac-tive fixtures.

The kitchen today is a key living space in con-temporary lifestyles. Why stop with cabinetry?

Consider replacing your old Formica brand kitchen counters with granite and your white ap-pliances with a matched set in stainless steel. The prices are relatively low for the upscale, contempo-

rary look they create.You can achieve the

same contemporary facelift with lighting fix-tures throughout the house, contemporary sink faucet sets and new vanities.

Curb appeal, too, is a kind of renovation that yields great results. My years in commercial real estate taught me the value of exterior en-hancements to real es-tate assets. Whenever my company was planning to sell a commercial office building or apartment complex, one of the first things we would do is at-tack the exterior with up-grades, such as new signs, lighting fixtures, contem-porary paint colors, drive-

way sealing and grounds improvements, especially freshly mulched planting beds.

Even sophisticated in-vestors are unconsciously influenced by the appear-ance of real estate assets they are considering for purchase. Renovations can influence prospects who view your home as well. But remember this: renovations that are not deferred maintenance-re-lated add value to your home but only to the ex-tent that they make your property competitive.

Deciding where to in-vest in upgrades requires a careful evaluation of your property and a plan that fits both your budget and financial situation.

I can help you with that and all other questions you may have about buy-ing and selling homes in the beautiful Lakes Re-gion of New Hampshire. Feel free to contact me for a prompt reply.

where participants can support each other and have access to Walker’s expertise throughout the program. “Group support has been shown to improve behavior changes and I am de-lighted to have this com-

ponent in my program,” said Walker. “Knowing you can ask questions at any time and get feed-back really has made a positive difference in the success of partici-pants in my first group. I believe it is the secret

ingredient that most programs are missing.

“Most chronic diseas-es are preventable with diet and lifestyle. Get-ting a handle on sugar intake and cravings is a great start,” added Walk-er. “I would especially

encourage people who have pre-diabetes or a family history of Type 2 Diabetes to consider this program. Getting control of carbohydrate choices is a big part of avoiding diabetes.”

Do feeders create dependency?

Bird Callsn

BY STEVE WHITE

Contributing Writer

Feeding wild birds, especially during the winter months, general-ly is assumed to be ben-eficial. But could there be a downside to this en-joyable hobby that over 63 million people partic-ipate in? If birds become overly dependent on hu-mans and their feeders, would they fail to devel-op, or lose, the ability to forage efficiently on nat-urally occurring foods?

Our loyal costum-

ers and listeners to our radio show have many questions regarding this topic. We will be us-ing an actual scientific study to help you under-stand this ongoing de-bate about serving food to wild birds and then you decide. This will be a two-part series. Today’s article will describe, in detail, the actual process used in the study. Next article, we will report the findings and conclu-sions of this exhaustive study.

From 1984 to 1988, Pro-fessor Margaret Britting-ham of the University of Wisconsin conducted scientific studies involv-ing black-capped chick-adees. Chickadees are one of the smallest birds that remain in the north during winter. They are also one of the most common resident birds found in most regions of the northern range of the USA. The small body size and high metabolic rate create a large need for energy. They spend

much of the daylight hours foraging for food. At night, they roost in protected areas and be-come hypothermic. Even with this process, chick-adees can lose 10 percent of their body weight overnight. They must find food to survive each and every day during the winter months.

Professor Britting-ham decided to compare two very distinct groups of chickadees in the Wisconsin regions. She banded both groups with

the help of volunteers and monitored their food intake. The first group of chickadees, about 35, had never seen bird feeders. We know that chickadees have a limit-ed feeding range, approx-imately one mile. She chose an area of woods miles away from any human habitat. The sec-ond group of chickadees was located in the same region, but near human feeders that had been in existence for over 20 years. These potential-

ly-dependent birds were about 49 in total. The col-or coded bands allowed researchers to monitor the number of visits to feeders filled with sun-flower seeds that each bird used prior to the start of the study.

Both groups were ob-served in their natural surroundings for two years. After that, she had the volunteers im-mediately remove all bird feeders from the

second group before the next winter season ap-proached. Both banded groups of chickadees would experience the same weather during the upcoming October-April study period. Average

low temperatures were below freezing with many days during this time frame below zero. No attempts were made to offer any human foods sources.

After generations of human feeding, would the second group of chickadees know how

or where to search for natural foods sources? Could these feeder-de-pendent birds survive a typical winter without succumbing to the ele-ments?

In our next article, we will answer these and many more questions regarding wild bird de-

pendency on backyard bird feeders. In the meantime, enjoy the ex-traordinary sights that birders are experiencing this winter season. It is probably the best in over a decade.

Michaud questioned if this problem was im-pacting other students’ “tech time,” and was told by Rice it was having an impact.

Rice acknowledged they had to “triple up

some slots” and were “asking classes not to use tech during testing right now.”

“It is, on some level, impacting our instruc-tion,” admitted Rice.

Fauci stated prob-lems with the Smarter Balance test were not unique to Barnstead in

this “first roll out on state level.”

and approved edited pol-icies, which included, adding e-cigarettes to the tobacco policy and looking again at the pol-icies regarding school

closures, public com-plaints and visitors to the school.

The Barnstead School Board will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, April 21, at 6 p.m. in the media center. The meeting is scheduled to not interfere with the school’s April vacation.

in the summary judg-ment notes that RSA 154:5 applies only if Var-ney was appointed to a term of office after March 2012. The question was whether by permitting Varney to remain as fire chief once his term had expired, the town “reap-pointed” him to the of-fice for a new three-year term, thereby making him subject to removal for “good cause” only. Justice Tucker refer-enced Trefethen v. Town of Derry, 164 N.H. 754, 755 (2013).

“Statutes are read as a whole, with the plain and ordinary meaning ascribed to their words,” the judgment reads. “The court ‘interprets legislative intent from the statute as written and will not consider what the legislature might have said or add language that the legis-lature did not see fit to

include.’”It was pointed out in

the judgment that the town relied on RSA 41:57-a, which concerns terms of office and provides that “(e)xcept as other-wise provided, the term of office of any appointed town officer shall begin upon his or her appoint-ment and qualification for office and shall end up on the appointment and qualification of his or her successor.” Also, RSA 41:3 mandates that “(a)ll town officers shall continue in office until the next annual meeting and until others shall be chosen or appointed and qualified in their stead, except in cases where the law otherwise di-rects.”

Justice Tucker’s dis-cussion notes that the State Supreme Court recognized the general rule that “unless it is oth-erwise provided, a mu-nicipal officer, although elected or appointed for a definite term, is entitled to remain in office until

his successor is lawfully elected or appointed had has duly qualified.” At-torney General v. Bond, 81 N.H. 269, 271 (1924). The purpose of the stat-ute was to prevent a va-cancy that might arise from a failure to elect. Under the statute, an of-ficer, once chosen and sworn, continues to hold the office not only until the next election, but un-til another is elected and qualified in his or her place.

Justice Tucker con-tinued that when read in conjunction with stat-utes in RSA Chapter 41 addressing the status of town officers, RSA 154:5 provides that if the ap-pointed fire chief has not yet completed the term of office, he or she is en-titled to the procedural protections described in that section. Once that term expires, the office of fire chief does not become vacant, but the person may hold-over in that position until a suc-cessor is appointed.

“The court does not

read the law as Mr. Var-ney does, to entitle a fire chief not reappointed and in hold-over status to remain in office for a successive new term, un-less there is good cause to remove him,” the judgment reads.

The judgment contin-ues that Varney distin-guishes the provisions in RSA 41 by noting that they give way to other laws that provide or di-rect otherwise. He con-tended that RSA 154:5 creates such an excep-tion for fire chiefs, in that it makes the chief’s tenure dependent “upon good conduct and effi-ciency” and requires that dismissal be fore “cause” supported by specification of reasons for the action.

“Even if it is arguable that a showing of cause is necessary in order to remove a hold-over fire chief where no successor has been appointed, that is not the case here,” the judgment reads. “Mr. Varney was not dis-missed, but was replaced

by a new appointee of the selectboard.” Justice Tucker cited Attorney General vs. Burnham, 61 N.H. 594, 595-96 (1882), describing hold-over ap-pointees as “temporary occupants of the offices, liable at any moment to be displaced by appoin-tees of the selectmen…”

The judgment contin-ues that Varney argued that RSA 154:5 is directed at ensuring a town has an appointed fire chief in order to guarantee the effective operation of an essential public safety agency.

“Contrary to the plaintiff’s argument, the selectboard’s delay in appointing a successor did not change the term of office,” the judgment reads. “His successor simply serves the time remaining for the term of office expiring in March 2015.”

The judgment also states the Varney con-tended the town violated RSA 91-A by not provid-ing public notice of the meeting or the agenda at

which he was replaced. The judgment states the town submitted an affi-davit from the town ad-ministrator attesting to the fact that there was a posted notice of the meeting at which the selectboard appointed a new fire chief. It is noted that Varney provide no facts to contradict those in the affidavit submit-ted by the town adminin-strator.

“To the extent his lat-er pleadings raise new allegations of how the town violated RSA 91-A, those grounds were not presented in the com-plaint and are beyond the scope of this pro-ceeding,” the judgment reads.

“For the reasons giv-en, the town’s motion for summary judgment is granted,” the judgment concludes. “Each party shall pay its own attor-ney fees.”

Mark on the MarketsReal market returns

BY MARK PATTERSON

Contributing Writer

If you have ever put money into a mutual fund and discovered that the proclamation of return did not line up with your real return of dollars, then there could be several reasons. The net return could be af-fected by the fees and commission charged by the fund that can vary between funds, fund companies and share class. But another issue is the manner in which the return is calculat-

ed or advertised. This concept not only relates to mutual funds but to overall performance of the markets as they relate to your dollars. Without even calculat-ing any fees or commis-sion you pay, let’s just say you invest $100,000 in a low cost S+P 500 in-dex fund. The first year in the index losses 40 percent, much like 2008. You now have $60,000 in your account. But then the market snaps back the following year and advances 40 percent. Well if I lose 40 percent then gain 40 percent I should be even, right? Well why do I only have $84,000 in my account? Because a 40 percent

gain on $60,000 is only $24,000. So the next year the index is up 10 percent, sending the three-year average to a positive number but my account only has $92,400 in it. Following a 40 percent loss, you would need a 67 percent return to just get you back to even, ouch. The math works the same way in reverse meaning that if you started with a 40 percent gain followed by a 40 percent loss you still have $84,000.

This is why the lost decade was really 13 years. From the year 2000 until 2013 if you left money in the broad markets including most stock mutual funds you

would have had a brief period of time to get out about break-even in 2007, but then we went into another market col-lapse that bottomed in

March of 2009. Since March of 2009

the equity markets as a whole have not seen a significant correction, while over-due sta-

tistically, the Federal Reserve has managed to keep the markets from correcting by of-

Think: Hey, look, there’s a weasel. Think: Hey, it’s a snake on four legsNORTH COUNTRY NOTEBOOK

By JOHN HARRIGAN

A recent column about weasels occasioned many replies. Ergo, I’ll begin this column with a poem sent by a reader who identified himself as “A. Nonny Muhs. Now, I’m no poet, and if I tried poetry I’d identify myself as the same.

“I’ve Seen a Weasel in the Wild”

“We come to this place called Bretton Woods,

With heavy parka, gloves and hoods,

Our main intent… to have some fun,

In the shadow of Mount Washington.

I’d no idea of what I’d see,

Of Mother Nature’s scenery,

This place is special, wild and cold,

Much wildlife here, so I’ve been told.

We’ve skied here many times before,

And read about the re-gion’s lore,

And seen the tracks of snowshoe hare,

And looked at tree bark, moose tripped bare.”

The poem contains this pertinent stanza: “A weasel dressed in winter coat,

Pure white twixt black tail and snout,

Scurrying under the abandoned house,

Seeking to feast on tasty mouse.”

And the piece ends with “I’ve seen a weasel in the wild.”

Not many people have. Weasels are large-ly nocturnal and after spring and through fall they are dark, making them almost as hard to see as when they in they are in their white, or er-mine, stage in winter.

When I was a kid, I was snowshoeing up along an old stone wall east of Deadwater Stream, south of Lake Francis, when I encoun-tered a couple of weasels. They were just coursing around, hunting, I guess, just like me.

Weasels are curious

creatures, and over they came, and proceeded to frolic around the tips of my snowshoes, pausing now and then to regard me with their bright lit-tle eyes.

Although I’ve tried to reduce my speaking in

recent years, I’m still at it, getting hornswoggled into this and that. Cur-rently I have three danc-es on my dance card:

Wolfeborough, Sun-day, April 12, Club 59, 12:30, Moose Mountain Regional Greenways.

Effingham Public Li-brary, Thursday, April 16, 7 p.m.

Woodsville Public Library, Saturday, May 2, 7 p.m., at the Horse Meadow Senior Center, just south of the Graf-ton County complex on

Route 10.I go to these events to

meet interesting people and have fun. Having to prepare a text is not fun, so I just do off the cuff stuff, like taking about bears, coyotes, ravens, cougars and wolves, and of course the holistic na-ture of things.

Typically I just scrib-ble several one-liners on a piece of scrap paper, to remind me of topics. And I leave plenty of time for questions and answers, which I love.

LACONIA — Lit-tle chubby Chia really is the perfect pet. She found herself deposit-ed like lost luggage at a shelter in Texas and luckily for her, found herself traveling to the weather cold, but people warm, north, to New Hampshire.

Chia loves to be cud-dled. It’s her primary job, to simply sit in a lap and snuggle. Pick her up and hear the most adorable snuffling sounds and then be ready to spend howev-er much time you wish cuddling this irresist-

ibly cute tan Chihua-hua girl.

She has spent time with other dogs, but given her ready devo-tion to a human that will love her, she real-ly is all the dog anyone could need. Obviously she requires a woolen coat when venturing outside, but really, it’s time now, for her forev-er home.

SPORTSSPORTSSPORTSKnights best Providence Country Day in Florida openerKingswood leads Bloomington Central Catholic when lightning brings halt to game

BY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

VERO BEACH, Fla. — The first full day of the Kingswood baseball team’s trip to Florida started off well enough, but Mother Nature made her presence felt in the afternoon, cutting short what was supposed to be a pair of games.

The Knights began Friday, March 27, with a game against Providence Country Day School out of Rhode Island.

Senior Dan Eldridge got the start on the hill for the Knights and worked around an error in the first inning, as catcher Brian Lindsay helped him out by throwing out the PCD runner trying to steal second base.

Kingswood then came up with a run in the bot-tom of the first inning. Lindsay led off with a base hit and Jake Wood-ard was hit by a pitch. After a pickoff error allowed the runners to move up and a balk plat-ed Lindsay with the first run of the game. Howev-er, PCD was able to get out of the trouble, getting a pop up to first base and two strikeouts to close out the inning.

Eldridge allowed a leadoff walk in the top of the second inning and af-ter a foul pop up caught by Lindsay and a strikeout, allowed another walk. However, the Knight se-nior got a strikeout to end the inning, stranding both runners.

Kingswood had a big second inning, plating six runs in the frame.

Logan Loring led off with a walk and Jeff Madden followed with a base hit. After Cam Place walked, Evan La-voice reached on an er-ror to plate both Loring and Madden to make it 3-0. Another balk al-lowed Place to score for a 4-0 lead and Lindsay followed with a base hit. Will Treuel followed that

up with a base hit to drive in another run and anoth-er pickoff error allowed the sixth run to cross the plate. Andy Contrada then came through with a big triple to plate an-other run and Kingswood was up 7-0. Loring was hit by a pitch to reach for the second time in the in-ning, but he and Contra-da were both stranded.

Eldridge had a one-two-three inning in the top of the third, includ-ing a strikeout. Lavoice had a one-out walk in the bottom of the third, but he was gunned down stealing to prevent the Knights from rallying.

PCD opened the top of the fourth with a walk, a double and a sacrifice fly to center that got home their first run of the game. PCD attempted a squeeze play moments later, but the batter missed the ball and catcher Jay Warth-en was able to tag the charging runner out at

the plate. Eldridge then got a strikeout to end the

inning.Kingswood added an-

Knights hit the ground running in FloridaWeather holds off for team’s first practice of trip

BY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

VERO BEACH, Fla. — Though Mother Na-ture continued to be a pain to the Granite State with snow still covering most of the local athlet-ic fields, the Kingswood baseball team’s first day in Florida managed to avoid her wrath.

The Knights made it to Vero Beach, Fla. on Thursday, March 26, for four days of work at Dodgertown, the former Spring Training home

of the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers.

As the team gathered for its first practice, thunder clouds rolled all around the Vero Beach area, but Mother Na-ture seemed to take pity on the boys from New Hampshire and the rain basically stayed away, aside from a few sprin-kles.

Coaches Chip Skelley and Bill Rollins, along with athletic trainer Alex Dria, ran the team through its first outdoor

practice of the spring season. Captains Dan Eldridge, Jake Woodard and Will Treuel led the team on the field, stretch-ing and warming up be-fore getting in to outfield and infield work.

The Knights took plenty of fly balls in the outfield and ground-ers in the infield. They worked on the double play pivot in the mid-dle of the infield and Eldridge and Treuel got their arms warmed up by firing a few pitch-

es from the mound in preparation for the first game of the trip the fol-lowing day.

After plenty of time taking grounders and pop flies, the Knights went through some pitchers’ fielding drills and then practiced swinging the bat a bit by drilling balls into the outfield, with Skelley calling out different sce-narios to adjust the hit-ting strokes.

The Knights finished up their first two-hour

practice with a few base running drills and ju-nior Sam Bonenfant kept the Knights from having to do extra running by successfully interpret-ing a long series of signs from Skelley.

After dinner, many of the Knights journeyed over to the complex’s main field, Holman Sta-dium, where the Holder-ness baseball team was taking on Vincentian, a Catholic school team from Pittsburgh, Pa. Coach Skelley’s son, Al-

lie, a Kingswood gradu-ate, is the assistant base-ball coach for the Bulls, who were in their final full day in Vero Beach after arriving the previ-ous Sunday.

After watching a por-tion of that game, the Knights made their way to the batting cages for a little swing work before calling it a day.

Knights give Fieldston a battle, watch Mets and Nats slug it outBY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

VERO BEACH, Fla. — The third game of the Kingswood baseball team’s trip to Dodger-town saw the Knights taking on Fieldston School from New York City on Saturday, March 28. It was the team’s only game of the day, as the afternoon brought a trip down Interstate 95 to see the New York Mets and Washington Nationals do battle at Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie.

As for the game itself, the Knights had a good battle on their hands and played a solid game, but eventually dropped a 3-1 decision to Field-ston.

The NYC kids got things going in the first inning, getting a one-out base hit, a stolen base and a walk, but catcher Brian Lindsay gunned down a runner steal-ing third and pitcher Jeff Madden induced a grounder to second to end the inning with no harm done.

Lindsay reached on an error to open the game for the Knights and Will Treuel moved him up with a sacrifice bunt. However, he was stranded at second as the Knights couldn’t get another hit.

Madden worked around trouble in the second as well and Lind-say again helped out his battery mate. After a one-out base hit, the freshman catcher threw out a runner stealing second and then, after a dropped third strike al-lowed a runner to reach, fired to first to catch him rounding the bag for the third out of the inning.

Kingswood was un-able to do anything in the bottom of the second inning and Fieldston got on the board in the top of the third. A base hit, a sacrifice bunt, a dou-ble and two walks plated the game’s first run, but Madden finished strong, getting a strikeout to end the inning, his second of the frame, finishing off his work on the hill.

Cam Place had a one-out base hit in the bot-tom of the third inning, but he was picked off first by the Fieldston catcher and the Knights weren’t able to generate

any more pressure.Corey Chatelle took

over on the hill for the Knights in the top of the fourth inning and a pair of base hits, a pickoff er-ror and a wild pitch led to one run scoring be-fore an out was record-ed. The junior transfer settled down, however, and got the next three in order, including a strikeout to get out of the inning.

Treuel reached on an error to open the bottom of the fourth and one out later, an Andy Contrada grounder moved him up a base, but he was stranded at second.

Chatelle struck out two more batters in the fifth inning, working around a double, but Kingswood went in or-der in the bottom of the frame. Chatelle worked around a leadoff walk in the top of the sixth inning, getting a pop up to short, a grounder to second and a fly ball to right to get out of the in-ning.

Lindsay had a base hit with one out in the sixth inning, but he was stranded at first base.

Tom Scala took over on the mound in the top of the seventh inning for Kingswood and a base hit, a bunt hit and a bloop down the right field line pushed anoth-er run across for Field-ston. However, Scala got the next three batters in order on a pop up to second and grounders to short and third.

Kingswood then put together a rally in the

bottom of the seventh. Sam Bonenfant got things started by work-ing a leadoff walk. One

out later, Scala had a base hit to put two run-ners on and Jacob Crai-gue was hit by a pitch to lead the bases. Evan La-voice reached on an er-ror, allowing Bonenfant

Knights fall in Spring Training trip finale

BY JOSHUA SPAULDING

Sports Editor

VERO BEACH, Fla. — The Kingswood base-ball team wrapped up its trip to Florida by tak-ing on Carmel (N.Y.) on Sunday, March 29.

Jake Woodard got the start on the mound for the Knights in the Spring Training finale and the Knights had a few struggles to work through that allowed Carmel to get on the board first.

A base hit and sac-rifice bunt got Carmel started in the first and after Woodard got a strikeout for the second out, a base hit pushed across the game’s first run. A passed ball, a walk and a wild pitch led to a 2-0 lead before the Knights got out of the inning.

Kingswood went down in order in the bot-tom of the first and Car-mel added another run in the top of the second inning. A base hit, sto-

len base, fielder’s choice and sacrifice groundout plated the third run, but Woodard got out of trou-ble by getting a foul pop to Jeff Madden at first and a grounder to Will Treuel at short to close out the inning.

Kingswood got its first base runners in the bottom of the inning. With one out, Corey Chatelle reached on a dropped third strike and one out later, Madden followed with a base hit. However, Chatelle was gunned down trying to get to third on the hit.

Carmel had a big third inning, plating four runs in the frame. The leadoff hitter was hit by a pitch and con-secutive errors allowed the fourth run to score. Following an infield hit, Woodard got a strikeout for the inning’s first out, but a base hit drove in another run. A 6-4 force drove in another run and a base hit plated the seventh run of the

game for the 7-0 lead be-fore Woodard induced a grounder to second to end the inning.

Cam Place had a one-out base hit in the bot-tom of the third. He was forced at second on a grounder by Brian Lind-say. Trueul then worked a walk, but they were both stranded.

Jacob Craigue took over on the hill in the fourth inning and after a leadoff double and a walk, he got the next three in order, including a pair of strikeouts.

Kingswood got on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning. Andy Contrada led off with a base hit and scored on a double from Chatelle, who was tagged out in a rundown between sec-ond and third. Hits from Craigue, Madden and Place loaded the bases with two outs, but the Knights were unable to get another run across.

Carmel came up with three more runs in the

top of the fifth inning, taking advantage of a couple of Kingswood er-rors. Evan Lavoice and Treuel combined to gun down a runner trying to stretch a hit down the left field line into a double, but by the time the inning ended, King-swood trailed 10-1.

Kingswood was able to plate three of their own in the bottom of the fifth. Treuel and Wood-ward worked walks to start the inning and an infield hit from Contra-da loaded the bases. A pickoff error allowed Treuel to score and a grounder to short by Chatelle plated Wood-ard. Madden worked a walk and Lavoice reached on an error, cut-ting the Carmel led to

10-4 heading to the sixth inning.

Nate Reed took over on the hill in the sixth and a nice play from Treuel at short and scoop from Madden at first helped get him the first two outs of the in-ning, but a bloop hit to right, a passed ball and a base hit plated Carmel’s 11th run.

Kingswood came up with three more in the bottom of the inning. Lindsay led off with a walk and stole second. Treuel and Woodard both worked walks to load the bases and a Contrada base hit drove home two runs to make it 11-6. Chatelle followed with a base hit and one out later, Mad-den grounded to short,

plating another run. The Knights attempted a double steal but were gunned down at the plate to end the inning.

Carmel took advan-tage of back-to-back walks and a Kingswood error to plate the first run of the seventh. A sacrifice fly made it 13-7 and a pair of base hits pushed the lead to 14-7 before the Knights got out of the inning.

Lindsay had a two-out double in the bottom of the seventh, but the Knights never got him home and Carmel took the 14-7 win, finishing off Kingwood’s road trip.

The Knights then hit the road after lunch, heading to Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie, Spring Training home of the New York Mets, where the home team was taking on their NL East rivals the Washing-ton Nationals in front of a crowd of more than 7,000.

The Mets hit four homers, including back-to-back shots by Curtis Granderson and David Wright, off Stephen Strasburg and Washing-ton’s Bryce Harper hit a shot that cleared every-thing in right field. The Mets came away with the 10-2 win.

10th grade Warriors win bracket at Maine tourneySACO, Maine — The

Wolfeboro Warriors AAU boys’ basketball club saw its first tourney action this past weekend on Saturday, March 28, and Sunday, March 29, at the March Mayhem III Tournament in Saco, Maine. Both the War-riors 10th grade team and the Warriors ninth grade team participat-

ed, with the Warriors 10th grade team going 3-0 and winning their bracket while the ninth grade team played three extremely close contests.

Warriors 10th grade team went undefeat-ed by topping Eastern Maine Black Hoops 59-24, Seahawk Nation 69-41, and Kennebunk 71-61 to capture their bracket.

Colton Mercier, Daniel St. Laurent and Jacob Beaudet led the way. Mercier scored 13, 28 and 31 points respectively in the three contests, paced by 17 of 23 shooting from the three-point line. St. Laurent tallied 12, 20 and 20 points while haul-ing down a team high 35 total rebounds while Beaudet had a team high

18 total assists and an 18-rebound effort against Seahawk Nation while running the show from the point and constantly setting up his teammate with dribble penetra-tion. Cole Johnston had a nice tournament from mid-range while also contributing 11 assists. Sam Allard contributed with a solid defensive

effort on the perimeter and low post.

The Warriors ninth grade fell in three tight-ly contested games to XL Sports 41-33, Mount Washington Valley (MWV) 45-34 and AOB of Sanborn 45-37. Incon-sistent shooting was the Achilles heel of the ninth grade club. Nick Dunt-ley paced the Warriors

with seven, 10 and 13 points respectively. Russ Lucia chipped in with 10 points against MWV including a tremen-dous sequence where he finished for two on a nice runner in the lane and then sprinted the full length of the court to block a shot. Trevor Mills’ 19 rebounds were a team tourney high.

Another round of Spring Training in the southTwo years ago I made

my first-ever trip to Flor-ida, spending a few days in Bradenton with the Kingswood baseball team as the Knights did a little Spring Training. I had a great time and

when coach Chip Skelley mentioned the team was going back to Florida this year, I knew I wanted to make the trip again.

This time, the Knights visited Dodgertown,

which is the former Spring Training site of the Los Angeles Dodgers and is located in Vero Beach.

I booked a hotel about 15 minutes from the cam-pus and booked a rent-al car from the Orlando airport and using the vouchers I had from my disastrous (flight-wise) trip from Nashville this summer, was able to get a great deal on the flights to and from Orlando.

I took off about two hours before the team on Thursday morning and arrived in Orlando just before 11 a.m. I got my rental car and headed out on the road to Vero Beach, which ended up being mostly Interstate 95.

After a quick stop for lunch, I found Dodger-town without too much of a problem and the team arrived a little while later.

The first afternoon brought a round of prac-tice for the Knights and it was nice to be out on a baseball field in the sun, for the players and for me. There was a threat of rain (and a few thunder rum-bles) but the weather held off.

As it turns out, the Holderness baseball team was also in Vero Beach doing training, with Skel-ley’s son Allie serving as the assistant coach. They were on their last day, so I was able to catch their

game in the evening, a one-hitter pitched by Charlie Day.

The second day fea-tured a couple of games on the schedule, with the first one going off with-out a hitch. However, the second game was called in the middle of the fourth inning due to lightning. I had a little time off with no game to wrap up and the rain broke for a bit, so I took a trip toward the beach, not sure what ex-actly I would find. Since it had been thundering and lightning just an hour or so earlier, there was not much activity at the beach, but the sun was shining and the water wasn’t too cold, even if I did just put my feet in for a bit.

Saturday brought an-other game in the morn-ing and then a trip to Port St. Lucie to see a Spring Training game between the Mets and Nationals. Tradition Field was beau-tiful and I got to see the hometown Mets get a big win over their NL East rivals, the Nationals. Cur-tis Granderson and David Wright hit back-to-back homers for the Mets and Bryce Harper had a mon-ster homer for the Nats. Steven Strasburg was not terribly strong on the mound for the Nats.

The final game of the trip came on Sunday

morning and once that wrapped up, it was time to start thinking about heading to the airport. I had done a good job of keeping up with my sto-ries each day, so I wrote this column and my Sun-day game story in Dodger-town before heading out.

All told, it was another fun baseball experience. I needed a little change of pace from the normal and I definitely got it. And, as much as I like winter, it was nice to see some warm sun and green grass.

And while I was there I tried out a few places we don’t have many of up north, including Jimmy John’s, Steak n Shake, Waffle House and Golden Corral.

Though booking a flight out of Orlando at 9:35 p.m. probably wasn’t my brightest idea.

Finally, have a great day Bob and Sandy Wyatt.

THE BAYSIDER, THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2015B8

ning started with a walk. After a pickoff error and two outs, Warthen launched a triple to deep center to plate Woodard and make it 8-1 for King-swood.

Eldridge set down PCD in order in the top of the fifth inning, getting another strikeout and Kingswood then put the game to bed in the bottom of the fifth.

Nate Reed opened the

inning with a walk and Corey Chatelle followed with a double. Reed then charged home on a passed ball, barely beat-ing the pitcher’s tag for a 9-1 lead. Sam Bonenfant worked a walk and a wild pitch allowed Chatelle to score the 10th run. Bonenfant stole second and Lindsay then tripled to center, bringing him home with the 11th run, bringing it to 11-1 and ending the game on the 10-run rule.

Kingswood had a short break and returned to the

field to take on Bloom-ington Central Catho-lic, a team from Illinois. Treuel got the start on the hill for the Knights.

Woodard had a one-out base hit and stole sec-ond in the top of the first. Treuel worked a walk and a groundout from Contrada moved them up a base, but they were both stranded.

Treuel then went to work on the hill, pitching around a two-out walk. Kingswood went down in order in the top of the second inning and Treuel

worked around an error in the bottom of the in-ning, getting two strike-outs in the frame.

Lavoice worked a walk to open the third in-ning and he moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Lind-say. However, he was stranded on second.

Treuel set the Saints down in order in the bot-tom of the third, getting another strikeout and Kingswood was finally

able to break through in the top of the fourth.

With one out, Chat-elle had a base hit and Loring followed that up by reaching as well. They both moved up on a passed ball and Madden delivered a base hit to plate both runners for a 2-0 lead.

Thunder had been rolling around the region for most of the game, but at that point, a lightning

flash forced the umpires to pull the players off the field. Dodgertown’s 20-minute lightning rule was in force, but eventu-ally the rest of the game was cancelled due to con-tinued rain throughout the afternoon.

“Not a bad start for the first games,” said coach Chip Skelley.
