Josh Gardiner of Belmont had an ear-to-ear grin as he showed off his Champion Child Award from the New Hampshire Council for Youths with Chronic Conditions. Sharing in the moment were the educators that nominated him, Belmont Middle School Tech Ed teacher Joe Wernig and 1:1 Aide Sue Lavin.
Belmont High student earns recognition as a champion among his peersBY DONNA RHODES
BELMONT — Bel-mont High School fresh-man Josh Gardiner was recently presented with a Champion Child Award from the New Hampshire Council for Youths with Chronic Conditions when they celebrated their national awareness month in No-vember.
He was nominated for the award by two educators in the Shaker Regional School District who felt his hard work and commitment to do-ing his best every day deserved the special rec-ognition.
Josh has Downs Syn-drome, but that has nev-er really been an issue for him personally. In fact, due to his condi-tion, he probably works
harder, tries more and smiles broader than most young men his age, and that smile, which can sometimes become a sly grin, is definitely contagious.
Sue Lavin was as-signed as Josh’s one-on-one aide in April of 2013, when his former aide moved to another school district. Lavin, who was instrumental in the nomination for this year’s Champion Child Award, said their ensuing relationship has definitely changed her life for the better.
“The first day I met Josh, he was so polite and friendly. His charm-ing grin made me smile,” Lavin wrote to the coun-cil. “He has taught me to look at things more pos-itively, to take the time to show people you care,
just by giving his mili-tary salute during the Pledge of Allegiance or [through the ‘high five’ he gives his friends] in the hallways at school.”
That charm, affable attitude and respect for others is also topped off with other qualities Josh exhibits on a daily basis.
In Lavin’s letter to Jeffrey Woodbury, Ex-ecutive Director of the council, she also cited Josh’s commitment to his education, no matter how hard it may seem some days.
“There are times when we work on math that he gets a bit frus-trated. He shows his determination by going over things more than once without giving up,” she said.
Deck the Village Holiday event in Belmont – Sunday, Dec. 7
BELMONT — Mu-sic and merriment will be the theme for our holiday celebration on Sunday, Dec. 7. The village green area be-tween Main Street and Mill Street in Belmont will feature both indoor and outdoor activities. Starting at 2 p.m., enjoy refreshments while lis-tening to the Wakonda Pond Horn Club in the Senior Center on the sec-ond floor of the Belmont Mill. This same setting will welcome children to create Rudolph’s Shiny Nose, Jingle Bell
Necklaces, Coloring Sheets, and Original Or-naments. Pretty paper mittens will be created and displayed for all of the senior citizens to enjoy during the winter season.
If a relaxing story time sounds tempting, the Belmont Library staff has a line-up of holiday favorites they are anxious to share. Stay warm and listen to a book while awaiting the 3:15 p.m. arrival of the High School Band stopping by to join us in our festivities. An
invitation was sent to the North Pole recently, and we are excited to see if Santa is able to arrive in time to greet the chil-dren and share in our celebration.
With the arrival of winter and our recent snow storm, the Bogie Busters and their snow-mobile display will sure to be a hit with children of all ages. Take the op-portunity to get an up-close look at these fun machines and time to ask questions of mem-bers that take part is this winter pastime. Liv-ing in New Hampshire, snowmobiling is perfect for the independent rid-er or new way to spend time as a family. The club is always looking for new members to share their trails.
If you are in a posi-tion to help others this Christmas, new, un-wrapped toys will be accepted for the Police Association Toy Drive. They can be dropped off at the police cruiser near

BELMONT — The musical talents of the popular Belmont High School Band will cer-tainly not be wasted this
year, as the group gears up for a season filled with parades, concerts and community festivi-ties.
Over the past two weekends, the marching
band helped kick off the holidays with parade ap-pearances in both Con-cord and Laconia, but that was only the start of a very busy schedule for

On Thanksgiving Day, police, electrical companies and even selectmen in Tilton were busy cleaning up from Wednesday’s snow storm that knocked out electricity in Tilton, Northfield and Franklin. Jon Scanlon is shown here clearing some of the downed tree limbs as other selectmen checked on senior residents in the town.
Season’s first major storm puts a damper on local Thanksgiving celebrationsBY DONNA RHODES
TILTON — An early Nor’easter dumped a foot or more of snow in New England last week, creating, as Tilton Po-lice Chief Robert Corm-ier called it, “the perfect recipe for a really bad night.”
That night actually didn’t end on Wednes-day, but continued on into Thanksgiving Day and beyond, thanks to widespread power out-ages.
“We had really poor road conditions on Wednesday with white outs at times, extra peo-ple on the road for the holiday, trees snapping and power lines down. It was pretty bad for
awhile, the worst I‘ve ever seen,” Cormier said.
In one three-hour period his department responded to more than 20 calls for motor vehi-cle accidents, especially along the busy Route 3/Laconia Road corridor.
“No one was hurt, though. There was some property damage during the storm, but no one was hurt, and that’s all that mattered to me,” he said.
To complicate the sit-uation, power went out between 6-8 p.m. that evening, including the police and fire head-quarters, and more than 200,000 residents across central and southern New Hampshire hun-
kered down to wait out the long dark night.
Officials report that it was the fourth larg-
est power outage in the state’s history.
By Thursday morn-ing, nearly 3,700 custom-
ers of PSNH and NHEC were without power

BMS students turn turkey in support of local food pantriesBY DONNA RHODES
BELMONT — Each November, the students of Belmont Middle School come together to make a tremendous con-tribution to their com-munity through a food drive that this year ac-cumulated another 3,107 pounds of nonperishable goods for food pantries in Canterbury and Bel-mont, and brought their total to more than 40,000 pounds over the past 21 years.
“This was original-ly started by (retired) teacher John Goegel for the seventh and eighth graders and has just kept going. It’s part of the fabric of what we do now,” said Assistant Principal Tim Saunders.
This year’s food drive, he added, was one of the most spirited he has seen, with many stu-dents participating. On Nov. 25, the final day, an additional 700 pounds of food was brought in to help the school not only meet but exceed their goal for 2014.
“This is all about the message of giving and being thankful. They really pumped it up to-day,” Saunders said last Tuesday.
Late that afternoon, the boys and girls capped off the seven-day food drive with their annual “The Gobble Wobble,” where a group from each class got to show off a lot of creative costumery along with some hidden talents, as exhibited through their turkey gobbling compe-tition.
Once the majority of students in grades five through eight were gath-ered in the gym, this year’s judges were in-

“Tammy the Turkey” (Paige Irving) was chased into the Belmont Middle School gym by a hungry chef (Ryan Gilman) during last week’s annual Gobble Wobble that helped gather 3,107 pounds of food for pantries in Belmont and Canterbury.

Sixth graders at Belmont Middle School were represented in the annual Gobble Wobble turkey competition this year by Becca, who brought along body guard “Freight Train” Spencer to help get her through the holiday weekend.
of judges, comprised this year of student teach-er Alex Connell, school counselor Julia O’Brien, health teacher Marie Lander and Bouchard. After some deliberation they eventually pro-claimed Christian Mar-rone the top gobbler in the close competition.
Recognition was also given to class wide efforts for food dona-tions. Topping the lead-
er board this year was the seventh grade class, which contributed a to-tal of 1,1464 pounds of canned and dried goods. Coming in second were the sixth graders with 831 pounds. Eighth grade added another 479 pounds, and an ad-mirable 333 pounds was contributed by the fifth graders in their first ever Gobble Wobble food drive.
Representing St. Jo-seph Catholic Church’s Food Pantry for the Bel-mont Parrish was Fa-ther Richard St. Louis who was most grateful for all the students had done for their commu-nity.
“That food helps ev-ery day with real people, and it’s a great reminder that anyone could be in need,” he said. “Many lives will be better due to your kindness and generosity.”
Principal Aaron Pope was very proud of his students and also grate-ful for their outstanding efforts to help others in Belmont and Canter-bury. He asked them to take time out over the long holiday weekend to remember the things they are thankful for in their lives and told them he himself was thankful this year for all of them.
“You make coming to this school a great place for me to be. It’s amazing what you just did here,” he said.
troduced and a parade of turkeys began.
Class by class, stu-dent representatives made their entrance in costumes that ranged from colorful turkeys to turkey hot dogs, chefs, and even a body guard for one “turkey” repre-senting Jessica Bouch-ard’s sixth grade class.
“Ain’t nothin’ gonna touch my turkey,” said Spencer, a.k.a. “Freight Train,” as he hovered over classmate Becca in
her costume.Paige Irving rep-
resented Chanel Mc-Dannell’s seventh grade class, holding a “Where’s MY Pardon Obama” sign as she was chased in her turkey outfit by classmate Ryan Gilman, dressed as a very menacing chef.
There was even some “hippie turkeys” with a protester who encour-aged everyone to eat more bacon.
Stepping up the cre-ativity was Zachary En-nis from Dabney Geary’s eighth grade class who entered the gym in a most unique costume.
“No calories. It’s all I want to be — I’m a tur-key hot dog,” he told the assembly.
Turkey gobbling im-itations from each class were rated by the panel

Students of Red Oak Montessori School helped everyone warm up for their Second Annual Tater Trot with some special “turkey” yoga moves they devised along with their teacher, Kasia Beznoska.
Second Annual Tater Trot raises funds for Red Oak Montessori SchoolBY DONNA RHODES
FRANKLIN — Tem-peratures were cold, but the smiles were heart-warming as families, staff and community supporters of the Red Oak Montessori School gathered bright and ear-ly on Nov. 22 at Frank-lin Falls Dam for their Second Annual Tater Trot fundraiser.
“It’s a great commu-nity event where ev-eryone can get a little exercise in before the big day (Thanksgiving) and the kids and their families all get to enjoy doing something togeth-er,” said Devyn Abbott of Tilton, one of many parents who participat-ed in the event.
Other families were also eager to come out in support a school that they fully believe in.
“It’s the most awe-some school in the Lakes Region for your children,” said dad San-dy Colhoun. “It’s truly one of the best kept se-crets we have and I’m proud to have not only a current student there
but an alumnus of Red Oak, too.”
Nearly 40 people ar-rived at Franklin Falls Dam for this year’s walk/run. Each could select between a fun, one-mile trot out over Franklin Falls Dam and
back, or they could take on the longer 5K romp that wound through the wooded trails then over the dam before heading back to the start/finish line.
Everyone received a special tee shirt to show
their support and there were several raffles from local businesses as well as plenty of healthy snacks to enjoy after-ward.
“The race isn’t being timed. People are here to just have some fun or look for a personal best in their time,” said par-ent Brooke Wakefield, one of the event’s orga-nizers.
Kicking off this year’s Tater Trot was teacher Kasia Beznos-ka. With the assistance of some of the students, she helped everyone limber up their muscles through a few yoga pos-es the children put to-gether for the day.
Starting with arms outstretched like wings, they moved on to oth-er “Turkey Poses” and ended by bending their knees and squatting like a turkey hunkered down in the woods.
“I teach yoga and do a lot of it with the kids at the school. It’s great exercise they can do anytime,” Beznoska said. “We design what we do at the school to be things they can transfer to their home life.”
School Director Tam-my Huckins said the Tater Trot is now one of their biggest fund-raisers each year and money from donations, raffles and registration fees would be used for educational programs at the school.
“We’re always look-ing for new ways to raise funds, and this seemed like a nice chance to get the com-munity involved, too,” she said.
Red Oak Montessori
School was founded in 1998 by Huckins and the Miller family. Since its early beginnings in an addition off an old farmhouse in Sanborn-ton, the school moved in 2001 to a more spacious facility where it has continued to grow over the years.
Teacher Heather Young said she first began teaching at the school years ago when her son was a student at Red Oak Montessori School and is pleased to be teaching there once again. Young said she enjoys the family at-mosphere of the school and the way in which the children are not only able to accelerate in their learning skills but be reinforced in any other areas as needed. In the end, each are suc-cessful in all they have mastered through a Montessori program.
“They are the leaders of their learning here at Red Oak. We’re just the guides,” said Young.
That philosophy is reflected in their motto, “Help Me Do it By My-self.”
Red Oak Montessori School is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is located at 241 Sanborn Street in Franklin. They serve young children, from three- to six-years-old who live in Frank-lin, Tilton, Sanbornton, Northfield, Andover, Bristol and other local communities. For more information on their programs or to make a donation to the school, please visit their Web site, www.redoakmon-tessori.org, or contact them at 934-1002.
Veterans Home residents, Tilton School students team up to create official ornaments for National Christmas Tree display
TILTON — New Hampshire Veterans Home residents have partnered with Tilton School students to create ornaments for the New Hampshire tree that will be part of the “Path-way of Peace” National Christmas Tree display in Washington, D.C., throughout December 2014.
The residents and students will travel to Concord for the Dec. 3 Governor and Council meeting, where they will
be recognized for their work representing New Hampshire.
Fifty-six trees, one for each state, U.S. territory and the District of Co-lumbia, will surround the National Christmas Tree on the Ellipse, lo-cated on the National Mall between the White House and the Washing-ton Monument. Called the “Pathway of Peace,” it is one of the highlights of the annual holiday display.
Veterans and stu-
dents worked in pairs on the ornaments, which represent New Hamp-shire’s natural beauty and history. Each orna-ment is one of a kind. Designs incorporate wildlife, pine trees and pine cones, the Cog Rail-way, snow, mountains, autumn leaves, abstract designs, fishing, the Old Man of the Mountain, and our state’s motto, “Live Free or Die.”
Presented by the Na-tional Park Foundation and the National Park Service, the 2014 Nation-al Christmas Tree Light-ing is scheduled for Dec. 4, kicking off four weeks of holiday events.
“The collaboration between our veterans and students on this cherished national tra-dition represents the ‘all-hands-on-deck’ spirit of our people,” said Gov. Maggie Hassan. “These
ornaments demonstrate our rich history and awe-inspiring natural beauty, and Granite Staters everywhere are proud of their hard work to create ornaments that are quintessentially New Hampshire.”
In 1856, New Hamp-shire’s Franklin Pierce, fourteenth president of the United States, be-came the first president to place a Christmas tree in the White House.
The National Christ-mas Tree Lighting be-gan on Christmas Eve in 1923, when President Calvin Coolidge lit a Christmas tree in front of 3,000 spectators on the Ellipse. Since then, each succeeding President has carried on the tradi-tion of what now has be-come a month-long event presented by the Nation-al Park Foundation and National Park Service.

PET OF THE WEEK PLUTOSouth Florida is
a long way to travel from - to find a for-ever home, but that’s where Pluto, our new-est hound/Labrador came from.
SHE, is perfect-ly matched for the season, her coat will remind you of fallen leaves, such is her glossy brindle attire. Looking at those soul-ful, wistfully brown eyes should tell you a lot. She so wants to find a loving, perma-nent forever home.
We think she was ignored by humans to the extent she needs some reassurance in new situations, but what a lovebug – all 50lbs of her - she se-cretly is! She is com-pletely housetrained, knows basic com-mands, is fine with cats and some dogs, but would be better is a home without young children.

If you catch it just right, during the fall drawdown to make room for the spring freshet, you can see the original outlet of Second Connecticut Lake.
A snapshot of history,now under snow and ice
The Connecticut Lakes themselves are well worth a drive up from down below the notches anytime, a wild and beautiful world of-ten little know and sel-dom seen by legions of people who think the world falls off the flat map at Franconia Notch.
Second Connecticut Lake is one of those far-flung destinations for the map-challenged, but well worth the stop — not a drive-by, but a stop. There is a path to a pic-nic table, at the outlet.
The naming of things in what is now known as the 171,000-acre Con-necticut Lakes Headwa-ters Tract — now yours and mine for all time to enjoy, as a wild and working forest — is a curious thing. Not many Abenaki names existed or persisted, because so few were known or writ-ten down. Magalloway Mountain is an excep-tion. It rises at 3,383 to the east, at the division of the headwaters of the Androscoggin and Con-necticut rivers. There is a little notch where you can actually see the water flowing each way. The lookout cabin atop the mountain is, in season, for rent (see the New Hampshire Parks Web site).
Lake Francis, at the northern edge of Pitts-burg Village, was never there. It was dammed up in the 1940s as a flood control project. It is odd that it became one of the storage batteries in a se-ries of lakes controlled for power generation far downriver.
Murphy Dam, which
impounded Lake Fran-cis, drowned an entire valley of the Connecti-cut, including houses, schoolhouses, farms, bridge abutments and cemeteries. Like it or not, it is ancient history.
Above that part of the river, explorers, trappers, hunters and traders encountered the first lake in their north-ern forays, hence First Connecticut Lake, and then encountered a sec-ond, hence Second Con-necticut Lake, and then Third Lake, and then, ultimately, Fourth Lake, the source of the Con-necticut, which flows some 406 miles south to Old Saybrook and Long Island Sound.
Fourth Lake is no more than an overgrown beaver Pond, but a de-light to visit. You park at a designated parking spot at the U.S. Border Station at the northern end of Route 3, over-looking eastern Quebec Province. Stop in to say hello — they’re a friend-ly bunch, and there are restrooms. And set off on the trail — no need for a passport.
Yet on the trail into Fourth Lake, you do indeed cross the Inter-national Boundary, sur-veyed during and after the frontier-establish-ing Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842, which amazingly (to me) es-tablished the boundary exactly along the crum-ple-point of two giant tec-tonic plates that crashed way back God knows when. Brass USGS markers are pounded into boulders and bed-

Social Media: Which is best for your business?LACONIA – Are you
feeling overwhelmed by all of the social me-dia channels? Not sure which ones are the most effective for your business? Join the En-terprise Center at Plym-outh and marketing professional, Debbie Bolduc, on Thursday, Dec. 11, from 8-10 a.m., at the Taylor Community, for an in-depth look at the most popular social media sites to help you determine the best chan-nels for your business.
This workshop is de-signed to help the small business owner realize that not all social media is created equal, and what might work well for a neighbor might not be best for your busi-ness. Focusing on busi-nesses with local clien-tele, Debbie Bolduc, New Hampshire native own-er of BizBuzz Marketing Partners in Laconia, understands the unique economic culture of the Granite State. In this seminar, she will help you identify the best so-

Using some of the lat-est data to compare the most popular social me-dia platforms, you will walk away with a better understanding of the particular channels that meet the needs of your business and clientele. With a concentration on defining your target market and learning what social media chan-nels your local custom-ers frequent, you will be better equipped to en-gage them, nurture rela-tionships, and increase calls to action.
This event is offered at no cost to attendees, but space is limited, so be sure to reserve your seat today by clicking the “Seminars” page on the ECP Web site, www.EnterpriseCenterNH.com, contacting the Cen-ter office at 535-3222, or [email protected].

CULTURE A5 n
WINNISQUAM ECHO December 4, 2014
As 2014 draws to a close, you may want to look back on the progress you’ve made this past year in various areas of your life — and that certainly includes progress toward your financial goals. At the same time, you may want to make some end-of-year moves that can close out 2014 on a positive note while paving the way for a productive 2015.
Here are a few such moves to consider:
• Boost your retirement plan contributions. This actually isn’t an “end-of-year” move because you have until April 15, 2015, to contribute to your Roth or Traditional IRA for the 2014 tax year. Nonetheless, the sooner you get extra dollars working for you in your IRA, the better. You can put in up to $5,500 to your IRA (or $6,500 if you’re 50 or older) for 2014. If you are self-em-ployed, or run a small busi-ness, you also have until April 15 to contribute to a retirement account, such as a SEP IRA or a SIMPLE plan. In addition to help-ing you build resources for retirement, these types of plans can offer you some tax advantages — so if you haven’t established a retire-ment plan yet, consult with
your financial and tax pro-fessionals
• Sell your “losers.” If you own investments that have lost value since you purchased them, you can sell them before 2014 ends and use the tax loss to off-set some capital gains you may have earned in other investments. If you don’t have any capital gains, you can use up to $3,000 of your tax losses to offset other ordinary income. And for a loss greater than $3,000, you can “carry over” the excess and deduct it from your taxes in future years. If you still liked the investment that you sold at a loss, and you want to keep it in your portfolio, you could repurchase it, but you’ll have to wait 31 days to avoid violating the IRS’ “wash sale” rules. Keep in mind that these suggestions only apply to investments held outside your employ-er-sponsored retirement account; you can’t take a tax deduction on capital losses in a 401(k) or simi-lar plan.
• Evaluate your 401(k) investment mix. You may be able to adjust the invest-ment mix in your 401(k) as often as you like. So when evaluating your 401(k), make sure your holdings aren’t concentrated in just
a few investments, and try to determine if your port-folio is still appropriate for your risk tolerance — not too aggressive or too conservative. Also, if your plan offers a “Roth” option, consider taking advantage of it — with a Roth, you won’t be able to deduct your 401(k) contributions from your taxes, but once you retire, you won’t be taxed on your withdrawals.
• Review your insur-ance coverage. If you’ve experienced any changes in your life in 2014 — new spouse, new child, divorce, new job, etc. — you may need to review your life insurance coverage to make sure that it’s still sufficient for your needs and that you have the correct beneficia-ries in place.
By making these and other moves, you can say a fond farewell to 2014, knowing that you’ve done what you could to help bol-ster your financial position — for 2015 and beyond.

Willie J. Laws has more than 25 years of performing experience and has traveled the world making music. The influences heard in the music of the Willie J. Laws Band are many and eclectic. There are deep roots in Texas mu-sic tradition and unique-ly American roots mu-sic. Raised in the Gulf Coast of Texas, Willie J. developed his “funky blues” guitar and vocal sound, influenced by Texas Blues and R&B, Tex-Mex Tejano/Con-junto, Louisiana Zydeco, and Country.
Fans call him “the Real Deal.” His work over the past 25 years

At every show audienc-es show their whistling, clapping and cheering appreciation for the APSB with drummer Ray Grappone’s dynam-ic beats, guitarist Jimmy Bennett’s searing leads, Peter Bennett on down home solid bass and the very talented backing vocalist Vicki Bell.

Huot Culinary Arts students cook up a great future
LACONIA — Stu-dents from the Culi-nary Arts Program at the Huot Techni-cal Center are excited about their accomplish-ments and learning, and wanted to show the community how they have mastered the con-cepts. With proficien-cy, pride, and commu-nity spirit, the students participated in two meaningful community events.
First, the students baked cookies for the “Hands Across the Table” (HATT) des-sert auction. Students teamed together, pro-ducing more than 12 dozen assorted cookies to donate to the chari-ty. The lesson was not only in the skills of bak-ing, but the importance of good citizenship and developing community goodwill through their positive contribution. The cookie project helped HATT continue with their mission to offer free hot meals ev-ery Wednesday night from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Parish Hall of St. Andre Bessette. This is truly an invaluable les-son at this giving time of year.
The second notable event hosted by the students was the Huot Culinary Arts First Annual Parents Din-
ner. Junior and senior students studying Cu-linary Arts showcased their skills and creat-ed a four-course meal. More than 50 percent of invited parents par-ticipated in the event, coming from Belmont, Center Harbor, Frank-lin, Gilford, Laconia, Meredith and Winn-isquam. The dinner was creatively crafted and comprised of ap-petizers, salad, vari-ous entrees and many delicious desserts all prepared and served by the students. Parents were proud and delight-ed to see their children in action, sample their creations, and commu-nicate with teachers in a comfortable, relaxed environment. Parents were very impressed and enthusiastic about the positive environ-ment of the program. One parent expressed appreciation by stating that her son enjoys this program – he does not want to miss a day.
The Culinary Arts program is a hands-on operation that provides the students with fun-damental skills needed for employment in the food service industry and higher education. One hundred percent of the students earn the Food Handlers Servsafe Certification and ac-
quire a high standard of learning with both oc-cupational training and academic excellence, which makes them prepared for their fu-ture college and career goals. Immersed in the culinary world at the Huot, students master the use of food prepa-ration, equipment and tools, menu planning principles, effective communication, math calculations, safety and sanitation, workflow between dining room and kitchen operations, recipe conversions, team work, time man-agement, commitment and more.
Career Pathways for students after grad-uating from the Huot include: Cook, Execu-tive Chef, Baker, Pas-try Chef, Food Service Manager, Dietician, Restaurant Manager, Food and Beverage Manager, General Man-ager.

WRHS drama club brings the works of James Thurber to the stage
TILTON — On Dec. 5-7, the talented cast of Winnisquam Regional High School’s drama club will present a hilar-ious evening of sketch comedy in by James Thurber.
Thurber was wide-ly popular during the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s. He is best known for his car-toons that appeared reg-ularly in publications such as the New York-
er and several national newspapers. One of the most popular humorists of his time, Thurber cele-brated the comic frustra-tions and eccentricities of ordinary people.
“A Thurber Carnival” is a compilation piece Thurber himself wrote and staged. It includes the very famous story of “The Secret Life of Wal-ter Mitty,” made popu-lar again by the recent
movie. Also, included are skits that poke fun at marriage, work, pets and social situations. They include titles like; “The Word Dance,” “The Pet Department,” “A Unicorn in the Garden,” “Casual of the Keys,” “Take Her Up Tender-ly” and several more, as well as two terribly diffi-cult monologues.
Working hard to bring these short glimps-
es of human experience to life are about 40 kids from grades nine to 12. Many have stage expe-rience, but several are brand new to the craft.
New drama director J. Alward reports, “This is one of the most dedi-cated groups of actors I
have had the pleasure of working with. They are committed to the pro-cess, and have brought some great ideas to the table in how to make these stories modern, pertinent and very, very funny.”
Tickets are available
at the door and priced so the whole family can at-tend. Curtain is at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 5 & 6, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7. All proceeds will go to help the kids put on a larger, musical production this coming spring.

Laconia Christian Academy presents “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”
LACONIA — Laco-nia Christian Academy will present the classic Christmas story, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” on Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m., at LCA. It is the story of a church’s an-nual Christmas pageant taken over by an unruly family of incorrigible kids. They bully their way into the leading roles, and wreak havoc leading to what most
fear will be a disastrous outcome. The result however, isn’t what any-one expects.
Written by Barbara Robinson and original-ly published in 1972, this hilarious tale is timeless. Come and see the cast of students and teachers from LCA as they perform this com-ical yet heartwarming show. Directed by dra-ma teacher Jen Bleiler,

Sant Bani School stays fit and gives back
SANBORNTON — Sant Bani elementary and middle school stu-dents raised more than $1,300 for local and in-ternational charities though a Track-A-Thon project this fall. “Stu-dents asked family and friends to sponsor them for the number of laps that they would run around the track during their physical education class and independent-
ly during recess,” ex-plained the school’s K-8 Service Learning Coor-dinator, Jessica Pine.
Made possible through a collaboration with Physical Education teacher Maya Hardcas-tle, this fundraising ef-fort is one of the service learning projects that are integrated through-out the Sant Bani cur-riculum. Some of the

in the towns of Tilton, Northfield, Belmont and Sanbornton.
With no electricity on Thanksgiving Day, residents soon found themselves scrambling to come up with a “Plan B” for their holiday din-ners.
Some residents in the Winnisquam area were able to relocate their family gathering to other homes with power. Some postponed their meal for another day and others got creative in how they prepared their meal.
“We were able to cook our turkey on our gas grill,” many families re-ported.
Others even used woodstoves to prepare their side dishes.
“Thank God I did my baking the day before,”
one Northfield resident said.
Luckier still were those with a home gener-ator who were able to at least power their kitchen appliances, then enjoyed their meal in a cozy can-dlelit atmosphere.
In the meantime, crews from PSNH, the NHEC, local police and fire departments along with other officials were foregoing their holiday dinners as they worked to rectify the situation. Emergency responders also put plans in place to open a warming shel-ter at Winnisquam High School, but it was an option they hoped they would not have to use.
“Our goal was to have the power back on by (Thursday) night,” Cormier said, “because I knew otherwise we’d have a full shelter.”
In the meantime, po-lice officers and Tilton selectmen began making the rounds to check on the elderly and let people know the shelter would be opening. TPD also of-fered rides to the shelter for anyone who needed assistance.
“We found seniors at (one apartment com-plex) cuddled up in their beds to stay warm. They were appreciative that we stopped by and pro-vided them with updates on the situation,” said Pat Consentino, chair-man of the Board of Se-lectmen.
She and fellow select-men Jon Scanlon, Joe Jesseman and Planning Board member Jane Al-den were among those who made the rounds and even brought along chain saws to help clear the roads of fallen trees
and limbs.“Our main concern
was for those on oxy-gen, Thankfully, family members and the fire department helped move those people to the shel-ter or somewhere safe where there was power,” Consentino said.
Throughout the day on Thursday, helicop-ters hovered over power lines in the area, look-ing for a major break that blacked out Tilton, Northfield and Frank-lin. Cormier said it was Franklin Fire Chief Kev-in LaChappelle who was instrumental in helping electrical companies find the source of the problem, though.
On his way to Frank-lin from his home in Tilton, LaChappelle glanced up the power lines off Clark Road and saw trees down on the
lines. He then contacted Cormier who went to the scene, took a photo, and got it to PSNH’s Incident Command Center.
“That was the spot they were looking for and they moved quick to get crews out there,” Cormier said.
Besides that mas-sive break in the lines though, there was nu-merous trees down throughout the area, which took out local power lines as well.
One ancient tree on Main Street took down lines near the police sta-tion while others tied up traffic all along West Main Street and as far as the Lochmere area of Tilton.
Despite the major break in the lines, emer-gencies like trees on lines and transformer fires took precedence for the local crews. Those trees had to be cleared before they could even
re-energize the main power lines.
Due to the volume of incidents, Canadian electrical workers raced to central New Hamp-shire to help with the major repairs, along with tree specialists from Connecticut who helped clear the power lines that run between Tilton and Franklin.
“I can’t say enough about the crews from PSNH. They were so re-sponsive and so helpful, and they made it their mission to bring in the help they needed to get the power back on. It was one massive effort,” said Cornier.
Power in most areas was restored by 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving while pockets of outages re-mained throughout the weekend as line workers moved into the more re-mote parts of the region, gradually getting things back to normal.

Meredith Village Savings Bank’s annual Mitten Tree Program helps warm the holidays
MEREDITH — With colder weather moving in and the holidays fast approaching, Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) is continuing a tradition since 1979 of collecting donations from the community of mittens, hats and
scarves to distribute to local residents through its annual Mitten Tree program.
Beginning the day after Thanksgiving and continuing through Dec. 20, donations of handmade or pur-chased mittens, gloves,
hats and scarves by area residents and cus-tomers can be dropped off at any MVSB office. The donated items will be used to decorate the holiday tree in the lobby of each branch before being distribut-ed to non-profits and
school organizations in each of the regions where MVSB has offic-es.
To participate in this year’s Mitten Tree program, communi-ty members can bring handmade or store-bought mittens, gloves, hats, and scarves to any Meredith Village Savings Bank office. This year, for every do-nated Mitten Tree item, MVSB will contribute $2 to local non-profits who offer services to children or senior citi-zens and mitten donors will be able to select which category they would like to support.
Last year, the MVSB Mitten Tree program donated more than $3,000, and more than 1,500 items of cold weather necessities to local area non-profits
Non-profits who are in need of mit-tens, hats, gloves and scarves should contact the MVSB branch of-fice closest to them. A complete list of offices and hours is available at mvsb.com.
Meredith Village Savings Bank, founded in 1869, is an indepen-dent mutual savings bank with 11 offices serving individuals, families, businesses
and municipalities in the Lakes Region and the Plymouth area. The bank and its employees are inspired by MVSB’s core values: respect, in-tegrity, teamwork, ex-cellence, and steward-ship. These values are intrinsic to every deci-sion made at the bank and are illustrated by the high priority they place on trust, quality service, and commit-ment to community support. MVSB strives to make the communi-ties it serves a better place to work and live. More information can be found at www.mvsb.com.

As for the award it-self, she added that Josh represents everything it stands for in many ways, and was very deserving of the honor.
Former Tech Ed teacher Joe Wernig of Belmont Middle School agreed with Lavin, and
he, too, sent in a nomina-tion for the teen.
“When they were looking for nominations, Josh came to mind right away. He was in my classes for four years at the Middle School, and was just a really hard worker. I was glad to see he received an award,” said Wernig.
Both nominations
meant a lot to Josh’s parents, Lori and Bri-an Gardiner. Mom Lori said she appreciates all the kind words and how much her son has learned through the two teachers.
“Joe had him in class for four years and al-ways spent extra time working with him, and Sue is with him every day now. I was really touched by their nomi-nations. The letters they wrote were really nice,” she said.
At first, Josh wasn’t sure what to make of all the attention he received during a ceremony at
the Concord Holiday Inn on Nov. 18, where even Gov. Maggie Hassan was in attendance. He gener-ally gets a bit nervous in crowds, his mom said, but he did realize he had won an award and he was eager to show it off to his friends and class-mates.
Awards are really not new to this young man though. Josh is a long-standing member of the Winnipesaukee Warriors Special Olym-pics team and has plenty of medals to prove his
athletic achievements in many sports.
Through Special Olympics New Hamp-shire, he bowls, skis, plays basketball and par-ticipates in numerous track and field events each year. He recently won yet another silver medal in bowling during the Fall Olympics and now looks forward to the upcoming ski season.
In addition to the sports, he is active in fund raising events for SONH and can be seen each year assisting in
Law Enforcement rep-resentatives in Fueling Dreams, Tip A Cop, the Winni Dip and other events.
Josh also enjoys Uni-fied Sports and will also be taking part in inter-scholastic team sports at the high school this year.
Joining Josh for the state recognition cer-emony were Lavin, Wernig, his family and Shaker Regional School District Special Educa-tion instructor Laura Duggan.

the students and their director, Lauren Foun-tain.
On Friday, Dec. 5, some of the musicians will also be spotlighted in a special Holiday Cab-aret, playing music out-side of their typical band setting. Besides raising money for their band trip next May, they are also assisting the Bel-mont Police Explorers’ Santa’s Little Helpers endeavors.
“There’ll be a Giv-ing Tree at the cabaret where people can pick a child by age and gender and help provide gifts for them,” said Foun-tain. “We’ll also be tak-ing donations for San-ta’s Little Helpers right up until our big concert on Dec. 17.”
Holiday Cabaret is organized by band mem-bers who wish to partic-ipate in the event as a
solo, duet or small group act of their choice. Stu-dents who are organiz-ing the event said they are really looking for-ward to the chance to se-lect their own music for a change and have a lot of fun with it.
“With the cabarets we get to express ourselves in a different way than in a school band setting. Everyone who takes part is there because they want to be,” said se-nior Asher Clark.
Dan Iaccopucci is also a senior and has taken part in other cabarets in the past that includ-ed blues, jazz, rock and other genres. He said this will be only the second Holiday Cabaret the band members have held though.
“For this one, we keep all the music oriented to-ward Christmas to help get everyone in the holi-day mood,” he said.
His younger brother, sophomore Michael Ia-copucci, said he looks forward to the event be-cause he will have the opportunity to step out from behind the drums he plays in the school band and pick up the guitar for a change.
“It’s fun because we can play anything we want and chose the songs we want to play. I like playing the drums, but this is a chance for me to do something dif-ferent,” he said.
Zoey Zeller is yet another musician who will be featured in the evening’s performances and said it’s guaranteed to be a great night of en-tertainment, enjoyable for not only the musi-cians but the audience as well.
“Cabaret is a really laid back night of music that’s open to any stu-dents who want to come
play for the communi-ty,” she said.
Last year, they were happy to have students from Belmont Middle School join in with per-formances, and Zeller said they are eager to see who else will sign on for the show this year.
The Holiday Cabaret will take place this Fri-day in the school cafe-teria, which will be dec-orated to look more like an intimate nightclub setting where everyone can just relax and enjoy the show. Besides the music, there will also be holiday treats like cookies, hot chocolate and egg nog, all made by the students or donated from parents and local businesses, Zeller said.
Between performanc-es there will also be a Master of Ceremonies to keep the mood merry.
“That’s another fun part of the night; we get
to interact with our au-dience a lot more than in a concert setting and we really like that,” said musician Grace Shaw.
Admission to the Hol-iday Cabaret is $5 for students and seniors, $7 for adults. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the band’s trip to Orlando, Florida next May where they will have the opportunity to perform at not only Uni-versal Studios but other venues as well.
On Saturday, Dec. 6, the musicians will then rejoin Fountain and the BHS marching band for the Plymouth Hometown Holiday pa-rade at 5 p.m., The next afternoon they will also give a performance at the Deck the Village fes-tivities on the Belmont Town Green.
Finally, the Belmont High School holiday concert, including vocal
performances from the school chorus and Di-rector Scott Lounsbury, will wrap up a busy sea-son for the students.
The concert is free to the public and will include raffles of some special items, like an au-tographed Dougie Ham-ilton hockey puck and an autographed photo of Red Sox player Mike Napoli, either of which would make great gifts.
“You can buy raffle tickets ahead of time ei-ther from members of the band or at the Caba-ret but people do need to be present at the concert in order to win,” said Fountain.
Unwrapped gifts and cash donations for San-ta’s Little Helpers will be accepted up until Dec. 17 and can be dropped off at the main office of BHS or left under the Giving Tree that night of the concert.

Hajdusek sets career-high in kills during senior campaign
COURTESY BILL SHARON/SPARTAN SPORTSHOTS
Northfield's Carolyn Hajdusek serves during action earlier this season for the Western New England University volleyball team. The senior outside hitter closed out her four year run with a career-high 169 kills.
COURTESY BILL SHARON/SPARTAN SPORTSHOTS
Western New England senior Carolyn Hajdusek (9) waits at the net with her Golden Bear teammates earlier this season. The former Winnisquam standout was the 2010 Division III Player of the Year in Tilton.
BY JEFF LAJOIE
S P R I N G F I E L D , Mass. – A strong fin-ish to the season saw Carolyn Hajdusek cap her volleyball career in style.
The Northfield na-tive and Winnisquam Regional High School alum finished her four-year run at Western New England Univer-sity last month. The Golden Bears saw their two-year ECAC champi-onship run come to an end, falling in the ECAC semifinals to Endicott in five sets on Nov. 15.
WNEU got off to a strong start to the sea-son, as the Bears won 15 of their first 21 match-es, including their first three in Commonwealth Coast Conference play. WNEU eventually grabbed the number two seed for the CCC tour-nament (its best since 2009), and while it host-ed third-seeded Salve Regina in the semifi-nals, the squad dropped a wild five setter (17-15 in the fifth) to fall short of an NCAA Division III Tournament berth.
That set up the ECAC Tournament bid, where the two-time defending tourney champs earned the top seed in the four-team field. Hajdusek put down eight kills in the ECAC match, falling to Endicott to end the sea-son 19-13 overall, 7-1 in CCC play.
Hajdusek had a sea-son-high 13 kills in the CCC semifinal loss to Salve Regina, and she also totaled 13 kills in an early season loss at Trinity College (Conn.) on Sept. 13.
The outside hitter registered 169 total kills on the season, as she played in 31 matches (116 total sets). Hajdusek added seven aces, 22 as-sists, 35 digs and 32 total blocks. The senior to-
taled 193.5 points.She had nine kills
against Western Con-necticut State (Sept. 5), Smith College (Sept. 6)
and Wentworth (Oct. 25) as well as eight kills against Connecticut College (Sept. 16), Salve Regina (Oct. 22) and En-dicott (Nov. 15).
Hajdusek, who wore number nine for the Bears, was one of four seniors on the WNEU roster. Her 169 kills were a career-high, top-
pling last year's previ-ous mark of 152 kills. Af-ter four years with the program, she totaled 396 career kills.
Hajdusek, who also
plays softball at WNEU, was the 2010 Division III Player of the Year at Winnisquam, leading the Bears to the D-III state title in the process.
O'Connor second on Colby-Sawyer in goals this season
COURTESY/COLBY-SAWYER ATHLETICS
(LEFT) Former Winnisquam star Taylor O'Connor made appear-ances in all 17 games for the Colby-Sawyer field hockey team this fall. O'Connor scored three goals for the Chargers.
BY JEFF LAJOIE
NEW LONDON – It's been a couple of years since Taylor O'Connor patrolled the fields at Winnisquam Regional High School. Her scoring prowess is still being put to good use though.
The Franklin resident recently closed out her junior year on the Col-by-Sawyer field hockey team. The Chargers fin-ished their 2014 campaign with a 7-10 overall record, 1-4 in the North Atlantic Conference (NAC).
After earning a Divi-sion III First-Team All-State selection during her senior season at Winnis-quam under coach Cherie Snow in 2011, O'Connor moved on to New London. The forward made an im-pact right away, as she led Colby-Sawyer with eight points and four goals during her freshman year in 2012. O'Connor wasted no time scoring her first collegiate goal that season, as she tallied in her very first game against Anna Maria. She also scored twice, includ-ing the game-winner in a 4-0 victory over Bay Path during that freshman campaign.
As a sophomore in 2013, O'Connor picked up three points on a goal and an assist in 16 games.
This season, the ju-nior tied for second on the Chargers with three goals, as she started three games (Elms, Bay Path, Becker) while appearing in all 17. She had 14 shots on the season, including nine on goal for a shoot-ing percentage of 0.643.
O'Connor got her scoring started on Sept. 7, when she scored the
game-winning goal in Colby-Sawyer's 4-3 vic-tory over Elms College. O'Connor had a sea-son-high four shots in that contest, including three on goal. It was the Chargers' first win of the season, as O'Connor's tal-ly broke a 2-2 draw at the time.
She scored her second goal of the season just four days later, coming in a big 3-2 win over Rivier University on Sept. 10. In that game, O'Connor
broke a 1-1 draw with a first half strike, and Col-by-Sawyer eventually earned the victory.
Her final goal of the season came against Dan-iel Webster, as she buried a shot in the Chargers' 8-0 win.
O'Connor, who wore number eight for Col-by-Sawyer, is a Health Promotion major. She also played basketball and ran track during her time at Winnisquam, graduating in 2012.

Bailey contributes for Plymouth State
COURTESY/PLYMOUTH STATE ATHLETICS
Canterbury resident and Belmont High School alum Megan Bailey puts a serve into play during action earlier this season for Plymouth State. The freshman setter totaled 132 assists on the year.
COURTESY/PLYMOUTH STATE ATHLETICS
Freshman Megan Bailey continued her volleyball career at Plymouth State after toppling the 1,000 career assist mark at Belmont High School last fall.
BY JEFF LAJOIE
PLYMOUTH – After toppling the 1,000 career assist mark during her se-nior year at Belmont High School, Canterbury's Me-gan Bailey took her tal-ents to Plymouth State University this fall, and the talented setter saw action in 19 matches for a Panther side that finished the year 13-19 overall, 2-5 in the Little East Confer-ence.
The freshman, who wore number three for PSU, played in 26 sets throughout the course of the season. Bailey totaled 132 assists on the year, backing up junior setter Kirsten Perrotta. She add-ed 23 digs on the defensive end to go along with 10 service aces and four kills.
Bailey recorded a sea-son-high 31 assists on Sept. 23, as she drew the start on the road at Lasell College (Newton, Mass.) and led the Panthers to a 3-0 sweep. She also added five digs, three aces and a kill on the night.
She also came through
with 25 assists in a 3-0 sweep of Lehman College (N.Y.) on Nov. 1, and she tossed in two aces and a dig.
Bailey added double digit assists against Penn St.-Behren (17 assists),
New Rochelle (10 assists) and Smith College (10 as-sists). Her season-high in digs came in the Penn St.-Behren match with four.
The 5-foot-6 Bailey, who is majoring in Exer-
