ROLLINSFORD -The historic Colonel Paul

Wentworth House in Rollins-ford will host its 7th annual cribbage tournament on Sunday, March 6. The public is invited to take a break from cabin fever with stimulating conversation and a classic card game.

Guests are invited to come as a team or as individu-als. Solo players will be paired up with a partner on the after-noon of the tournament. Reg-istration is at 1 p.m. and play begins at 1:30 p.m. The entry fee is $30 per team or $20 per person, and a cash prize of $50 will be awarded to the tourna-ment champion. Players are also asked to bring some food to share and the beverage of your choice. Paper goods and utensils will be provided.

PORTSMOUTH -St. John’s Episcopal

Church is pleased to announce that the Anchiskhati Choir, the world’s leading performer of ancient Georgian songs, will appear on Sunday, March 6, at 5:30 p.m. at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Portsmouth. There is a suggested at-the-door dona-tion of $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. Children under 16 are welcomed and en-couraged to attend at no charge.

The singers of the An-chiskhati Choir, of Tbilisi, Geor-gia specialize in singing ancient

Georgian sacred and secular songs, with authentic instrumen-tal accompaniment. The An-chiskhati Choir members are the undisputed leaders of the wide-spread contemporary revival of a lost three-voice traditional form of Georgian Orthodox chant, as well as some of the leading schol-ars of the history and theory of this globally significant medi-eval repertory.

The revival of polyphonic chant of the Orthodox Church in the country of Georgia is syn-onymous with the work of the Anchiskhati Choir. An oral tra-

dition for centuries, it was only saved from complete extinction by its transcription into Europe-an notation at the turn of the last century. Starting in 1988, mem-bers of the Anchiskhati Choir were able to gain access to these transcriptions in closed State Ar-chives, and begin to chant the liturgy of their ancestors in the context of Orthodox services.

Their performance of chant is informed by intense study of original recordings and tran-scriptions. Their powerful and

The ceremony was held at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard where Providence is currently located for a planned mainte-nance availability.

All skill ranges are wel-come, from beginner to sea-soned expert. For those who would like to learn the game or hone their skills for the tour-

nament, a cribbage warm-up event will be held on Saturday, February 27 from 1 to 5 p.m. There is no entry fee for the warm-up event and no score

Providence and her crew are homeported at Naval Sub-marine Base – New London in Groton, CT.

Attack submarines like Providence are multi-mission platforms enabling five of the six Navy maritime strategy core capabilities – sea control, power projection, forward presence, maritime security,

and deterrence. The submarine is designed to excel in anti-submarine warfare; anti-ship warfare; strike warfare; special operations; intelligence, sur-veillance, and reconnaissance; irregular warfare; and mine warfare – from open ocean an-ti-submarine warfare to intelli-gence, surveillance and recon-naissance, to projecting power

ashore with Special Operation Forces and Tomahawk cruise missiles in the prevention or preparation of regional crises.

Commissioned July 27, 1985, Providence is the 32nd Los Angeles-class attack sub-marine and the fifth U.S. Navy ship to be named for Provi-dence, R.I. It is 360 feet long with a beam of 33 feet.

Or register by calling Mike at 603-817-4545 or John at 207-475-6150.

DOVER -Meet Boris, a 3-year-old

who came to CVHS because his previous home had too many animals. As a result, he is very under socialized and nervous around people. He needs a patient and loving guardian who will give him the extra time he needs to adjust to a new home. Forging a bond with Boris may take an ex-tended amount of time. Boris is comfortable around other cats and is currently in a free-roam-ing cat room at the shelter. He is starting to spend more time exploring the room instead of hiding, but he is still nervous of anyone coming into the room. He would do best in a quiet home without young children. Boris is already neutered, mi-crochipped, and up-to-date on his vaccines. His adoption also includes two free months of pet insurance through Embrace. Age: 3 years; Sex: Neutered Male; Breed: Domestic Long-hair. For more information, go to www.cvhsonline.org or call 603-749-5322.

ROCHESTER -The Franklin Gallery at

RiverStones Custom Framing, 33 N. Main Street, Rochester, will host an exhibit called Ire-land Impressions, which will feature the artwork of local photographer, Ron St. Jean. The Gallery will host an Open-ing Reception for the exhibit on Saturday, March 5, from noon to 2 p.m. The public is invited to come and see the ex-hibit and meet the artist. Light refreshments will be served.

“I enjoy rocks,” says Ron, “which is a good thing since I live in New England. Tiny tumbled stones at the coast, house sized boulders dropped by a passing glacier, and im-posing mountainside cliffs all tell long stories of the forces that continually shape our en-vironment.” Because of this interest in rocks, Ron and his wife chose Ireland as the des-tination for their first major travel adventure. They spent a week exploring the remark-able eroded limestone land-scape of the Burren in western Ireland’s County Clare. “We marveled at the hundreds of

There will be musical entertainment throughout the event, as well as a Silent and Live Auction, hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets to the Midwinter Cel-ebration fundraiser are priced at $50 per person and are avail-able at www.ppmnh.org.

Guests at the Midwin-ter Celebration will be treated to music played by talented Portsmouth Pro Musica choir members on piano, guitar, and flute, plus there will be a spe-cial performance of the Over-tones, Portsmouth Pro Musi-

PORTSMOUTH -Ever wondered who would

win in a fight between Abra-ham Lincoln and Harry S. Truman? Stranger Than Fic-tion is offering Seacoast audi-ences a chance to find out. The troupe will present an improv comedy show at Seacoast Rep on Tuesday, March 1, at 8 p.m., that includes a comedy battle of theatrical might starring dead presidents. Also featured will be NHPR host Brady Carlson, author of Dead Presidents, a new book that explores the death stories of our nation's leaders — and the wild ways we choose to remember and memo-rialize them. Carlson will be a

part of the interactive show as well as available to sign books during intermission. Tickets can be purchased at Seacoas-tRep.org or through their box office at 603-433-4472.

“I decided to perform as Harry S. Truman because he was the last non-millionaire president,” says cast member Laura Scafati, who has been preparing for the show for weeks. “I watched a four hour movie on Truman. He owned a haberdashery, so my costume will include a fancy hat.”

“I've got a stove pipe hat and my Lincoln beard is coming in,” adds cast member David Chevalier.

miles of stone walls delineat-ing pastures on the mainland and all over the Aran Island of Inisheer. The opportunity to see so much stone shaped by the forces of nature and the hand of man provided me with the inspiration to create photographs with which I tried to express my reaction to the evolving rocky landscape we witnessed.” These are the pho-tographs which will be on dis-play at The Franklin Gallery during March.

St. Jean operates a por-trait, event, and fine art pho-tography studio, Ron St. Jean Photography, in the Washing-ton Street Mill in Dover. He enjoys photographing people, environmental scenes, and in-teresting details of natural and manmade objects. Samples of his photography can be seen on his website, www.ronstjean-photography.com. Ron and his wife, Diane, have lived in Bar-rington for nearly 40 years.

For information about Ireland Impressions and future Franklin Gallery exhibits, contact Kris Ebbeson at [email protected] or 603-812-1488.

Despite all the prepara-tion, director John Herman en-sures that the show will be com-pletely improvised. “As with many of our more elaborate costumed shows, we know who we are going to play but we have no idea what is going to happen. Everything is inspired by audi-ence input.”

The interactive show will also feature sets performed by up-and-coming improv come-dians performing in association with winter improv comedy classes Stranger Than Fiction has been offering at Seacoast Rep.

DOVER -The Dover Public Library

will host an informal recital of flute music performed by artist, writer, and musician Ross Bach-elder, on Sunday, March 6 at 2 p.m. The public is cordially invit-ed to attend. Accompanying him will be well-known Greenland pianist Cheryl Lynne Stromski.

Ross Bachelder lives in Berwick, ME and travels fre-quently to perform, paint and photograph. He has performed in musical theatre as well as solo as “The Flute Guy”. He has ex-hibited his drawings, paintings, assemblages, and photographs in area galleries for many years. He was the founder and coordinator of the KAA Seacoast Moderns (within the Kittery Art Associa-

tion), and the coordinator of The Abstract Artists Group of New England (within the Newbury-port Art Association).

In 1980 he founded Artful Endeavors, a consulting service for creative people of every kind. In 1984, he founded the Berwick Young People’s Theater, where he wrote and produced musi-cal comedies. For twelve years he managed the Frame Shop and Franklin Gallery at Ben Franklin Crafts in Rochester. He is currently writing a book, “Happy Dawg Walks The Sad Man: The Remarkably Varied Adventures of a Confirmed Arts Multiple”.

Bachelder’s accompanist, Cheryl Lynne Stromski, has a very successful career as an in-

demand pianist, pit orchestra musician, church-based Musical Director, and highly respected accompanist. She and Ross have performed together at many Seacoast area events and at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Stromski has performed in Italy, Ireland, and at a Vatican mass. She was the Music Di-rector of the Prescott Park Arts Festival for eight years, and is currently the Minister of Music at the Stratham Community Church UCC. She is studying for her Master of Divinity degree at Andover-Newton Theological School.

PORTSMOUTH –Renowned American Im-

pressionist painter Edmund C. Tarbell is back. The most ambitious display of Tarbell’s vibrant work in a decade opens Friday, March 4 at Discover Portsmouth. The city’s popu-lar welcome center and gal-lery will begin its 2016 season a month early to honor one of the region’s most beloved and influential artists.

“Illuminating Tarbell” is a unique two-part show, with the largest local gathering of Tarbell’s original work, plus a companion gallery featur-ing six contemporary painters working in the Tarbell style. The dual exhibit also includes

precise voices, meanwhile, offer a reminder that this is a living and powerful music, one that de-veloped in the medieval period and was passed on through gen-erations of chant masters in the rural mountains of Georgia.

Singing weekly in the famous 6th century Anchiskhati church in Tbilisi, Georgia, the group collaborates as a group of expert and passionate ethno-musicologists who teach, hold workshops and regularly per-form in Georgia and abroad. The group has published more than two dozen recordings and chantbooks and has inspired hundreds of young chanters around the country to model their singing on the Anchiskhati neo-traditional style.

“The precision of timbre, tuning, and other nuances of this group of singers combines ethereal Orthodox prayer text with a hearty enthusiasm of the Caucasian folk-singing,” noted Margaret Harper, Director of Music and Liturgy, St. John’s Episcopal Church. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to host the Anchiskhati Choir as a preamble to our 2016 Concerts on the Hill series and know they will delight and inspire all those who attend.”

The 2016 season of Con-

certs on the Hill, which kicks off May 22, will be the Year of the Organ in honor of the 15th birthday of St. John’s Episcopal Church's main pipe organ and the 308th birthday of its smaller organ. Between May and Oc-tober, audiences can look for-ward to performances featuring organ music paired with vocals, strings, brass, and even poetry.

St. John’s Episcopal Church is located at 100 Chapel Street in Portsmouth. For more information, visit www.stjohn-snh.org/COTH.

a lecture series, a 72-page color catalogue, and a re-creation of Tarbell’s seaside New Castle studio.

“This is a must-see show,” says DPC Executive Direc-tor, Kathleen Soldati. “While many know Tarbell as a Boston artist, he had close ties to the Portsmouth region. We’re bringing in works from col-lections all across the country,

and many have never been ex-hibited to the public before.”

Edmund C. Tarbell (1862-1938) was a pioneer of the “Boston School” of painting at the Museum of Fine Arts. His work, evocative of 17th-centu-ry Dutch artists, is known for its rich hues and an emphasis on light and tone and delicate brushwork. Unlike previous exhibitions of Tarbell’s work,

Discover Portsmouth’s show will emphasize, not just his paintings, but engravings, drawings, and oil studies. When shown in conjunction with a careful selection of the finished oil paintings, these will demonstrate Tarbell’s pro-cess from conception to com-pletion.

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~Dear Computer Lady,

How can I upgrade from Vista Home edition to Window 7 Free? Vista will not be sup-ported with updates and I need to go to Windows 7. Thanks, Art

Dear Art,The short answer is that

there is no free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. The free upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8 is the only time Microsoft has offered free oper-ating system upgrades, and it is only available as a free upgrade until July 29, 2016. Unfortunate-ly, the free upgrade offer isn't available for computers running Vista. So, how can you upgrade to Windows 7? The best thing to do is first make sure your com-puter is in good shape with some hardware diagnostics. Once you know the computer is in good working condition, you can then purchase an upgrade and install Windows 7. Your local computer shop is a good place to start, but if you are comfort-able doing the upgrade yourself, you can always find an upgrade version of Windows 7 in stores or online at places like Amazon. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,I have found I have a pro-

gram called "speccy" on my computer & am wondering if

this is doing anything useful or if it is a piece of malware. I googled it up but don't know which sites to trust. Thanks for all your great advice, Mary

Dear Mary,You are in luck, it is not

malware, Speccy is actually a useful little program from the makers of Ccleaner at www.piriform.com. Speccy is an advanced system information tool for your PC. It can tell you things like the type and amount of RAM on your system, also the speed and model of your CPU, motherboard, hard drive, etc. Two things that I really like about speccy is that it will also tell you the temperature of your components, which is great if you think there is something overheating in your comput-er, and it will tell you exactly when Windows was installed on your computer. My guess is that someone who was working on your computer installed it so that they could access some of this information. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,When viewing your many

answers to questions, how can I go directly to a certain page, rather than scrolling to the bottom and selecting 2 pages ahead at a time? Thanks, Paul

Dear Paul,

I assume you are talking about the questions page on my website at: askthecomputerlady.com/questions/. There are a couple of ways you can go di-rectly to a certain page. First, there is a search box in the up-per-right corner of the page. Just type what you are looking for in the search box and you will see a list of results. Next, there is a list of categories under the search box. All my questions are in categories, so if you want to see questions about Win-dows 10, for example, just scroll down, click on the "Windows 10" category and you will get a list of all Windows 10 ques-tions. Lastly, at the bottom of the categories list, you will find a button that says, "Archives" and a drop-down link that says, "Select Month". Just select any month you are interested in, and you will see a list of questions and answers for that month. Hope this helps, and thank you for visiting my website. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,What would you recom-

mend I do to make a back up for all my PC data if my PC ever goes to Cyber Heaven? I down-loaded Carbonite for the 15 day free trial, now they are after me, so to speak, wanting me to sign up for one of their plan offers. I

think I would find that should a time ever come for me to re-trieve my back up, the site says it is easy to do myself. Really? Richard

Dear Richard,Actually, I think that

Carbonite is one of the easiest backup and restore methods available. Once you install the program (which you already have since you used the 15 day free trial) you really don't have to think about your backup any more. Carbonite automatically backs up your files as you make changes to them, or create new ones. You don't have to remem-ber how to do anything else. In the event that you need to recover your files, all you need to know is your user name and password that you created with

Carbonite, and you can log in and retrieve your files. If you run into difficulty, you can either call them for help, or have your local computer shop help you get your files back. Think about it this way, if you use Car-bonite, your files are backed up, and you can get them back even if you need help to do so. If you don't use Carbonite and your computer crashes, you won't have the option of getting your files back with or without some-one helping you. Elizabeth

PORTSMOUTH -For anyone who would like

to receive a technical shirt when registering for New Heights’ up-coming 7th Annual St. Paddy’s “April Fool’s” Five Miler, the cut-off date is March 1.

“Getting a high-quality technical shirt is a huge benefit that many people love when it comes to road races,” said Todd Hanson, who organizes the race. “We don’t want anyone to be disappointed. We know runners love their shirts and we want ours to be their favorite.”

Proceeds from the race sup-port New Heights, which works

STRATHAM -No one knows your home-

town like you. And New Hamp-shire Public Television is coming to Stratham this spring to gather stories about what makes that community special.

Stratham will be the third episode of the Our Hometown series, which premiered in 2015 with episodes about Peterbor-ough and Colebrook. The prem-ise of NHPTV’s Our Hometown series is that each New Hamp-shire town and city has a unique story to tell, and the people who live there are the best storytell-ers for their hometowns. The

series will explore the culture, commerce, history and people of New Hampshire's 221 towns and 13 cities.

NHPTV producers willhost an Our Hometown: Stratham Storytellers Meeting on Saturday, March 5, 1-3 p.m. and Thursday, March 17, 6-8 p.m. at the Stratham Town Municipal Center. NHPTV encourages resi-dents of Stratham to come and find out about the program, learn how to tell a story for television and prepare for production day. Our Hometown: Stratham will air in June on NHPTV and be available online.

Produced in partnership with the community, each Our Hometown program engages residents in telling their sto-ries, which are then taped and edited into a 30-minute televi-sion program for broadcast on NHPTV. The program and all the interviews are posted on the program’s website, nhptv.org/hometown. The series is hosted by New Hampshire native, author and storyteller Rebecca Rule.

The Our Hometown sto-rytellers meeting encourages people to share stories that define their town, stories that are part of a town’s identity, and personal stories that explore their relation-ship with the town. These could be stories about the town in the present, from the past, or ones that reflect hopes for the future. “You might tell us about the iconic businesses, organizations, or landmarks and what they’ve meant to you,” Rule suggests.

“Whether we know it or not, we all have remarkable sto-ries to share,” said Rule. She re-calls talking to a woman in the North Country from a logging family. “She told me she didn’t have an interesting life, or stories to share. Then she paused and asked, ‘Would you like to hear about the time I saved a man’s life?’”

In January, NHPTV pro-ducer Carla Gordon Russell met with Stratham officials, businesses and organizations to learn more about Stratham and the region, and to prepare for the public

Why is NHPTV on this storytelling journey? “Our mis-sion and passion is to connect with the people and places that make our state a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family,” said Peter Frid, NHPTV Presi-dent and CEO, about the state’s PBS network, which covers 98% of the Granite State. “The Gran-ite State spirit speaks not only to our history but to the remarkable things that we accomplish every day.”

PORTSMOUTH -Optima Bank & Trust

(OB&T) , a locally-owned com-mercial bank headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire recently presented the Com-munity Action Partnership of Strafford County (CAPSC) with a check for $20,000 in support of expanding the or-ganization’s Housing Security Guarantee Program (HSGP). The check was presented at the CAPSC administrative office at 642 Central Avenue in Dover. The investment will support a housing stability revolving loan fund that will serve those that do not meet the poverty level requirements for federal hous-ing assistance through current HSGP requirements.

“This investment will sup-port those who are making con-tributions to our region every day, but just don’t have enough to make ends meet, we’re happy to be able to support a program

like this that can close that gap and hopefully help an indi-vidual or family move beyond the cycle of poverty,” said Dan Morrison, President & CEO of Optima Bank & Trust.

The investment will enable CAPSC to expand its Housing Security Guarantee Program (HSGP) by reaching a popula-tion of clients moving in to a rental unit who have incomes above 50 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). Fifty percent of the AMI for a family of four is $43,750. If a client is even $1 over the guidelines for the current program, they will not qualify.

“With this investment we will be able to aide approxi-mately 28 clients (individuals or families) on an annual basis and help them obtain afford-able housing with an average benefit of $700,” said Betsy Andrews Parker, Chief Execu-tive Officer for the Community

Action Partnership of Strafford County.

The Housing Security Guarantee Program (HSGP), under the NH Bureau of Home-less and Housing, is designed to help families defray some of the up-front costs of moving in to a new apartment. Once enrolled, CAPSC issues a “guarantee cer-tificate” to the landlord. This certificate guarantees payment to the landlord either by the ten-ant’s repayment of the loan to CAPSC or a guarantee certifi-cate underwritten by the state.

Optima Bank’s investment will also enable CAPSC to expand the current program to Strafford County clients when landlords will not accept the guarantee loan certificate.

In many instances, when clients do not qualify for the program they are placed at risk of becoming homeless.

PORTSMOUTH/EXETER –Serving more than 700

youth annually throughout the NH Seacoast and southern Maine, New Heights continues to develop new programs for area youth. Citing new offerings ranging from computer coding to building projects involving skis and snowboards, Executive Director Tracey Tucker said the key to New Heights’ longstand-ing success rests on its organi-zational knowledge.

“We have some staff that have been here the better part of 15 to 20 years,” said Tucker. “They continue to receive train-ing in best practices regarding youth development programs and push the envelope. No teen just ‘hangs’ out here.”

According to Assistant Director Meghan Rice, New Heights has particularly fo-cused on programs based on

Science, Technology, Engi-neering and Math (STEM). In developing such programs in coordination with area schools, Rice said New Heights serves an increasingly important func-tion in the community.

“We complement what schools are doing in the class-room,” she added. “In some cases, we actually are in the classroom alongside teachers.”

In addition to numerous adventure and STEM programs this spring, New Heights will offer GirlTalk! (a discussion based group for 5th grade girls) and art programs.

New Heights charges pro-gram fees, but offers need-based scholarships and the equipment necessary to participate. To reg-ister or learn more about New Heights’ school-year program, visit www.newheightsonline.org, or call 603-422-8235.
