Community wishes departing Belmont Library Director well
BY DONNA RHODES
[email protected]
BELMONT — Turning the page to a new
chapter in her life, Belmont’s Library Director,
Becky Albert, is sadly
leaving New Hampshire,
yet looks forward to the
future as she returns to
the past in her hometown of Westbrook,
Maine.
Last Thursday evening, the library held
a special going away
celebration for Albert
when many patrons and
friends of the Belmont
Public Library came to
thank her for her friendship, service and dedication.
“We’re going to miss
her. She shined bright at
our library,” said librarian Jill Duclos.
Patrons had equally
glowing thoughts of Albert as they came to say
goodbye.
“She’s the best librarian we’ve ever had, and
I mean that from my
heart,” said one resident.
Albert said it is hard
to leave Belmont after
only 15 months with the
library, but she couldn’t
pass up a job offer from
the Walker Memorial
Library in Westbrook,
which provided her
with the opportunity to
be near her family once
again.
“My dad passed away
last March, and I just
want to be close to my
mom, my sisters and
my brothers again,” she
said.
While Belmont’s patronage is 7,000 people,
the switch to Walker,
which has 17,000 patrons, will take some getting used to though.
“It’s a library I grew
up with, but it certainly
won’t have the cozy family feeling that this (library) has,” said Albert.
Albert has been a librarian for more than 3
decades. Upon receiving
her Master of Library
Science degree from the
University of Kentucky,
she worked in the south
for a time before returning to New England
through a job at the New
Hampshire State Library in Concord. There
she served as a library
consultant and headed
up adult literacy programs among her many
other duties.
After 13 years with
the state, Albert moved
on to the Tilton School library, where she worked
with students and faculty for another 13 years
before finding her way

Veterans Home suspends
visits amid flu concerns
TILTON — As of Friday, Jan. 23, the New
Hampshire
Veterans’
Home has suspended
visits to the facility, located at 139 Winter St.
in Tilton, in an attempt
to curb the spread of any
flu virus to not only residents, but the public as
well.
“We don’t want it
coming in any more
than we want it going
out,” Program Information Officer Len Stuart
informed local media
outlets last week.
The restriction includes family, friends,
and outside groups who
also visit the facility to
meet and interact with
residents.
Prior to the temporary ban on visitations,
families of the residents
were called by social
workers from NHVH
who wanted them to be
the first who were informed of the decision.
All family visits are
not being banned though
as those who have a
loved one in a hospice
situation may be allowed
to visit their loved ones.
“It’s all being done
on a case by case basis,”
Stuart said.
As of early this week
there were two residents
confirmed to have the flu
as well as two staff members. Stuart said more
lab work was due back
on 14 other suspected
cases where people who
live or work at the facility were exhibiting symptoms of the flu.
He added that the closure was voluntary and
done with an abundance
of caution in order to
give residents and staff
time to recuperate with
no further spread of any
viruses.
On Monday Stuart
said everyone continues
to use good infection
control practices that
include face masks, antibacterial hand washing
and gloves when necessary. In addition to that,
some larger congregate
gatherings of residents
have been scaled back
as a temporary measure
to minimize contact between healthy residents
and those who have
shown symptoms of illness.
“Even the Recreation
Department has been
visiting each of the units
individually to help keep
the possibility of spreading any germs from one
unit to another at a minimum,” he said.
Because of the frail
population of elderly
adults in their care,
Commandant Margaret
LaBrecque said she felt
it the duty of NHVH staff
and employees to protect
TILTON — On Thursday, Feb. 12, the family
dental practices of Dr.
Nanarao
Krothapalli,
including Tilton Family
Dental at 468 W. Main St.
in Tilton, will offer dental care free of charge to
patients as part of “Doctors with a Heart.”
“We are pleased to
provide dental care for
individuals and families in need,” said Dr.
Nanarao
Krothapalli.
“Too many people put
off important dental care
because they are uninsured, underinsured, or
simply don’t have the
money to pay. Doctors
with a Heart is one small
step to help people get
the care they need.”

BES students celebrate the season at Winter Concert
BY DONNA RHODES
[email protected]
BELMONT — The air
was filled with the sound
of music last Wednesday evening, when the
third and fourth grade
students at Belmont Elementary School presented their annual Winter
Concert.
Third and fourth
grade choruses, along
with a combined chorus
and the Vocal Ensemble, an auditioned group
of singers from the two
grades, gave vocal performances. New this
year, though, was the
Fourth Grade Recorder
Band, which also entertained the audience with
their skills on the simple
yet melodic wind instruments.
“They got a little introduction to recorders
last year, but have only
been playing together
since September, and it’s
really paying off,” said
BES music director Jennifer Shaw.
The audience agreed
as they listened to the
group perform such
great songs as Scott Joplin’s “Ragtime Bag,”
“Simba Samba” and
“Saddle Bag.”
The Third Grade
Chorus was equally impressive with their musical selections of “Get

Pond Hockey Classic returns this weekend
BY ERIN PLUMMER
[email protected]
MEREDITH - Teams
and spectators from
across the country will
descend on Meredith
Bay for another weekend of pond hockey as
the sixth annual New
England Pond Hockey
Classic will get underway on Friday.
Starting on Thursday,
250 teams accounting for
around 1,700 players will
gather in Meredith for
the annual Pond Hockey
Classic starting on Friday morning and running through Sunday.
The games will go on
at rinks in front of the
Inn at Bay Point, and
will be surrounded by
a player village and a
number of other special
features.
Teams will be coming from every New England state, especially
Massachusetts and New
Hampshire. There will
also be teams from New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington,
D.C., California, Colorado, Michigan, and North
Carolina.
Teams will be put
into different divisions:
Open, 50+, Women’s,
30+, 40+, Shinny under 35, Shinny 35+, and
Twig.
Tournament founder
Scott Crowder said that
things are shaping up
nicely for the coming
tournament.
The event is sold out
for team sign ups, and
this year, the tournament was opened up
for 25 additional teams.
Overall, 1,700 participants are expected on
the ice over the weekend
with 24 rinks set up for
all of them to play on.
Crowder said the ice
conditions are looking
fantastic for next week-
end. He said the warmer
temperatures in December “were a little unnerving,” but the cold snap in
January made for great
ice conditions. Crowder
said there is around a
foot of ice in Meredith
Bay right now.
The tournament fist
got underway in 2010
and has become a major draw for the region.
Over the years the tournament has evolved.
“The previous five
years, I think we’ve
learned a lot, the area’s
learned a lot,” Crowder
said. “The small community businesses, I think
they’ve kind of learned
to look for the Pond
Hockey weekend.”
Crowder said the
tournament has made
many business partners
from local to international businesses, all of
whom are listed on the
tourney’s banner.

Hopes high for snow sculpture
weather in Belmont
BELMONT — Snow
sculptures are a fun way
to enjoy a New Hampshire winter, and in Belmont, a great community activity for the month
of February! If the temperatures rise enough
for snow, especially wet
and sticky snow, there
will be snow sculptures
in the village green near
the Belmont Library. Gretta Olson-Wilder,
Special Event Coordinator, is inviting students,
businesses,
neighborhoods, families, and
civic organizations in
Belmont to create works
of art out of the white
stuff. All designs must
be pre-approved. Registration forms, which require your proposed design, are available on the
town’s Web site (www.
belmontnh.org). Those
wishing to participate,
must drop off all completed forms at Belmont
Town Hall before Friday,
Feb. 6. A kickoff party
for the snow sculptures
is planned for Saturday,
Feb. 14 at 10 a.m., if we
receive some warmer
winter temperatures for
natural snow making. Enjoy hot cocoa and a
waffle bar to chase away
the winter chill. BIG LAKE Taxi & Limo,
If there is no sticky
snow, then the event
will be postponed until
February 2016. For up to

Winnisquam Ag students attend Leadership Camp
TILTON — Eleven
members of the Winnisquam FFA Chapter
spent the weekend of
Jan. 16 at the annual
NH FFA Winter Leadership Camp, where they
improved their skills as
young leaders, met other FFA members from
around the state and
participated in social
activities. In all, more
than 50 students of agricultural education engaged in the event.
Campers participated in workshops on subjects such as diversity,
ethics and goal setting.
The seminar was led
by Corey Flournoy, a
former National FFA
President and founding
partner of Creative Outreach, a diversity and
motivational consulting
group. Assisting Flournoy were the six New
Hampshire FFA State
Officers, teens from
across the state elected
to leadership positions
by their peers.
New Hampshire FFA
Leadership Camp has
been held annually for
more than 16 years, and
remains one of the organization’s most popular
activities. It is funded
in part by the NH FFA
Foundation, with participants paying only a
portion of the cost to attend. The event is held
at the Brookwoods Conference Center in Alton,
on the shores of Lake
Winnipesaukee. While
at the event, the students meet and interact
with other teens from
some of New Hampshire’s 14 agricultural
education
programs,
sharing meals, workshops and recreational
activities.
The FFA (formerly Future Farmers of
America) is a national
organization of more
than 610,000 members
preparing for leadership and careers in the
science, business and
technology of agriculture. The organization
has 7,665 chapters located throughout the
United States, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands. FFA’s mission
is to make a positive
difference in the lives
of students by developing their potential for
premier
leadership,
personal growth and
career success through
agricultural education.

PET OF THE WEEK SO, BEFORE you
scream with laughter
upon
hearing
this handsome cat’s
name, know that it’s
a clue to how long
he has been living at
New Hampshire Humane Society.
This
bebonaire
grey tabby boy was
discovered hopelessly
entangled in barbed
wire on Thanksgiving Day. Not as wiley
as the wild bird he
is named after, poor
Gobble had to be rescued by the Gilford
Police
Department.
He was initially treated by our friendly
veterinary partner,
It’s that time again…
I
t’s that time of year again…alas,
not the time when the flowers begin
to bloom and the snows melt away
— Old Man Winter isn’t ready to give
way to the signs of spring just yet.
No, the time has come again for
voters throughout the area to begin
preparing for their annual town elec-
tions.
With the filing period for open positions in
towns and school districts throughout the area
coming to a close soon, the time has come once
again when candidates for local boards, committees, and other public offices begin making
their case to the voters in their respective communities.
One of the primary methods used by those
running for public office and those wishing to
endorse a particular candidate or lobby for a
particular warrant article is a letter to the editor. As your community newspaper, we feel it
is not only our duty, but our pleasure to provide
an open forum for discussion of the issues that
matter to our readers. To ensure that things
don’t get out of hand, however, there are a few
ground rules we would like to establish as we
head into another busy election and town meeting season.
First and foremost, to give everyone a fair
shot at having their say, we ask that any letters
submitted between now and the local elections
in March be no longer than 350 to 500 words.
We also ask that anyone wishing to make their
voice heard on multiple issues limit themselves
to one letter per week. This will enable us to
make maximum use of the space we have available to publish letters from our readers, and
ensure that everyone who takes the time to submit a letter has an opportunity to take part in
the conversation.
With only a limited staff available, it would
be logistically impossible for us to conduct interviews with all candidates running for town
and school district offices, but those appearing
on local ballots are welcome to submit one letter, no longer than 500 words, promoting themselves to local voters. Those seeking additional
exposure will have the option of purchasing
advertising space elsewhere within the paper.
Anyone wishing to endorse a particular candidate is also welcome to submit one letter, up to
500 words in length, explaining why they feel
their chosen candidate would be the best fit for
the job.
Lastly, and most importantly, we ask that
anyone wishing to submit a letter to the editor
during election season stick to the issues and
keep it clean. Every closet has a skeleton or
two lurking within it, and we understand that
emotions can run high when an individual you
have a personal grievance with throws their hat
into the ring for public office, but the purpose
of our Opinion page is to promote healthy debate about the issues affecting the communities
we cover. It is not there to serve as a forum for
mudslinging. Letters containing what we deem
to be unverifiable personal attacks against individuals running for office will not be published,
nor will any letters submitted anonymously.
By laying down these few simple ground
rules, it is our hope that we will be able to provide all our readers with an opportunity to have
their voices heard on the issues that matter to
them during this, and future, election seasons.

NORTH COUNTRY NOTEBOOK
n
With deep snow, I guess, you should think like a dog
By John Harrigan
Columnist
Any dog owner in
small town or countryside (I can ‘t speak for
suburban or urban dog
owners, because that’s
a whole other consideration) knows about this
problem: Where to give
your dog a place to go?
I’m not talking about
placidly walking your
dog around green space,
John Harrigan
The cleared space just off the ell, with the North Country’s
most spoiled dog Millie out there somewhere.
and picking up after.
I’m talking about snow.
With a small dog, cold
and ever deeper snow
are real factors.
The steward of a small
dog, or actually any dog,
has to think about this
early morning and otherwise business: What if
it was me? Would I want
to put my butt into snow,
at 30 below?
When Millie and I get
up in the morning, there
are two choices — go out
through ell, shed and
barn, or go out through
the ell, which is a shorter
trip. So to save time and
50 feet, I keep the yard
off the ell broomed and
shoveled. It is there, in
that small cleared space,
that Millie surveys the
constellations and goes
about her business. She
sniffs around for coyote
tracks, often there. She
dolts around. But often
not for long, at 30 below.
Visitors in the spring,
looking at the stunted
grass, everything else
verdant, speculate that
I must have mistakenly
spilled some Roundup.
Millie and I never fess
up.

MARK ON THE MARKETS
n
State of the markets
BY MARK PATTERSON
On more than one occasion, I have made the
statement that “low volatility precedes high volatility,” which sounds
kind of stupid because
of its simplicity. But it is
true. I believe that we as
investors or even casual
observers tend to find
comfort with complacency and low market volatility. Even if the world
is crumbling around
us, we tend to want to
chalk these issues up to
the “wall of worry” that
makes me want to gag
every time I hear it from
the financial media’s
mouths!
Ever since March
of 2009, the US equity
markets have been on
an upward move that
has really not had any
substantial corrections.
This has been a result
of the Federal Reserve
Bank throwing more
free money in the form
of Quantitative Easing at the markets and
more specifically the in-

stitutional traders who
are competing for their
annual
performance
bonus. In other words,
their performance bonus
does not get enhanced by
a conservative or cautious stance in the equity markets.
Just before the New
Year, we had a pullback in the equity or
stock market that was
about five percent. Then
in a very low volume
pre-Christmas rally, we
pushed back up to new
highs or close to new
highs. Then we open the
New Year with a return
to the original retracement that had sent us
down prior to the New
Year. Oil, or the low
price of crude oil is what
the main catalyst for
the pull-back was. I too
enjoy $2 gas, but from a
global perspective, this
is not a positive for the
world economies. Petro
states like Russia and
the former Soviet Union
have been hurt very badly by this crude collapse.
Desperation can create a
dangerous environment.
So the recent attempt at
a correction has been
thwarted not by our Fed,
but by the President of
the European Central
Bank, Mario Draghi,
who has announced a
bond repurchase program in Europe similar
to our very own Quantitative Easing. The US
markets rallied as a
knee jerk reaction. The
traders are like Pavlov’s
dogs, drooling when
they hear about more
free money. But this will
weaken the Euro currency in relation to the US
dollar that will in turn
not be a stimulus for the
US equity markets. The
Swiss now have a negative interest rate that is
a result of money going
to Swiss currency driving Swiss bond prices
so high that the yield is
negative.
Deflation is just as
scary as out of control
inflation; and a combination of financial asset deflation and cost of health
care, education food and
energy inflation creates
the scariest cocktail of
all. At least energy is not
in an inflationary mode
right now.

Bucky Lewis headlines Half
Moon fundraiser this Saturday
LACONIA
— Lakeport resident, musician
and lawyer Peter Brunette, a former member
of the Laconia Planning
Board, has been saying for years that there
needs to be more family-oriented, drug-and-alcohol-free recreational
activities in the area.
“When we were revising the Master Plan
back in 2002, I was very
vocal about the need to
encourage
clean-andsober alternatives to
events like Bike Week.
And that’s why I am delighted to be working
with the Half Moon Sober Festival,” he says.
Brunette is currently
Fundraising Coordinator for the organization,
and is promoting a fundraiser to be held at the
Margate this Saturday
night featuring another
Laconia native, Bucky
Lewis, who is putting
on his famous Musical
Comedy Show.
“Bucky is an old and
dear friend, and we are
both excited to be helping out by doing this
show,” Brunette explains.
Half Moon Sober Festival, Inc. (HMSF) is a
New England based, tax
exempt, all-volunteer,
non-profit corporation
based in Derry. “In its 20th year, its
primary purpose has
always been to provide
an affordable, alcoholand-drug-free environment in which individuals and families can
come together to learn,
grow and socialize,”
Brunette said. “Every
year, HMSF accomplishes this by producing a
number of happenings—
concerts, sober dances,
comedy shows and other
social events – culminating with an annual
four-day multi-cultural
concert and camping
experience, the Half
Moon Sober Festival,
held on Memorial Day
Weekend, most recently
at the 4-H Youth Center
on the Piscataquog River in New Boston, New
Hampshire. Their goal
is to change societal attitudes that have associated recreational and
social activities with the
use of alcohol and drugs.
As you can imagine,
there are many costs associated with bringing
these fun and affordable
social events to the public. Admission fees to
the Festival and other
events are intentionally
kept low so as to allow
access to those individuals and families who
may be struggling financially. Our dedicated
volunteers spend countless hours fundraising
as well as donating their
time to organize and run
our events. And I personally know dozens of
Laconians who have a
blast at the Festival every year.”
Bucky Lewis happily
brings his outrageously
funny musical comedy
show back home with
the special show at the
Margate Resort on Saturday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m.
to benefit the charitable
work of HMSF.
“Drugs are such a big
problem for children,
youth and families in the
Lakes Region and clean
and sober, family-oriented events like the Half
Moon Sober Festival are
a great way to support
the sober lifestyle,” said
Lewis. “I am looking
forward to the show and
expect a great turnout in
my home town. I’m taking names!”
Tickets to the show
are $20, and include
entry in a raffle for a
32-inch flat screen TV;
entrants do not need to
be present to win. The
show will be held in the
Blackstones Lounge at
the Margate, 76 Lake
Street in Laconia, and
there will a cash bar,
non-alcoholic refreshments and raffles. Doors
will open at 7:00 p.m. and
the show starts at 8:00.

December real estate report – liz swenson
Preparing your Credit Score for Buying a Home
Doing a check up on your credit score at least 6 months in advance is a
positive step to take if you are considering buying a home. Checking your
credit report is an important first step to make sure there are no problems
or discrepancies that need to be removed. When checking your credit
report, make sure you check with all three national credit reporting agencies. Equifax www.equfax.com, Experian www.experian.com and Trans
Union Corporation www.transunion.com. Factors that can influence your
credit score are 1) Current or late payments; 2) How late payments are; 3)
Number of accounts you have open; 4) How much credit you are using
in relation to how much credit you have available; 5) If there are serious delinquencies on your
file such as bankruptcy and liens. Positive things you can be doing are making sure your payments are being made on time, paying down those maxed out or nearly maxed out credit card
balances beginning with your highest rate balances first, and not opening new credit lines. You
do not want to go closing all of your accounts thinking this will improve your score when it
can actually hurt you. Lenders like to see that you have long term credit management history.
Talking with a lender ahead of time can be beneficial as they can give you advice on steps you
can take to better prepare you for the home buying process so you are not faced with last minute
disappointments if there are issues with your credit. Interest rates dropped last week to an all
time low making it a perfect time to buy, so make sure you are ready!

As you’ve no doubt
noticed, your trips to the gas
station have been a lot more
pleasant these past several
months. There’s not much
doubt that low oil prices
have been welcome to you
as a driver. But when oil is
cheap, is that good for you
as an investor? There’s no
clear-cut answer. But consider the following effects
of low oil prices:
• Positive impact on
economy — When you
spend less at the gas pump,
relative to recent years,
what will you do with your
savings? Like most people,
you’ll probably spend most
of it on goods and services.
If you multiply the amount
of your increased spending by the millions of other
Americans who are also
saving money on gas, you
can see that you and your
fellow consumers are likely
adding billions of dollars
to the economy. Typically,
a strong economy is also
good for the financial markets — and for the people
who invest in them.
• Different results for different sectors — Different
sectors within the financial
markets may respond in different ways to low oil prices, even if the overall effect
is generally positive. For
example, businesses such
as consumer goods companies and auto manufacturers
may respond favorably to
cheaper oil and gas. But
the picture might be quite
a bit different for energy
companies.
You could spend a lot
of time and effort trying
to adjust your investment
portfolio in response to
low oil prices. In fact, you
may well want to consult
with your financial professional to determine which
moves might make sense
for your individual situation. Yet there’s actually a
bigger lesson to be learned
here: Don’t overreact to
temporary developments.
The recent decline in oil
prices has certainly had an
economic impact, but no
one can predict how long
these prices will stay low
or what other factors may
arise that would affect the
financial markets. That’s
why you can’t reconfigure
your portfolio based on
particular events, whatever
they may be — oil price
drops, interest-rate fluctuations, political squabbles
at home, natural disasters
in faraway lands, and so
on. If you can keep from
being overly influenced by
specific events, you may be
able to gain at least two
key benefits: First, by not
making trades constantly in reaction to the headlines of the day, you can
avoid piling up heavy fees
and commissions —costs
that can reduce the return
rate on your investments.
Second, you’ll find that if
you aren’t always thinking
about what’s going on in the
world today, you can focus
your investment efforts
more intensely on where
you want to be tomorrow.
The most successful investors set long-term goals
and don’t focus on factors
they cannot control, such
as oil prices, interest-rate
changes or other economic
events. Instead, these investors make adjustments, as
necessary, to accommodate
changes in their goals as
well as other changes, such
as revisions in tax laws —
but they basically stick to
their same approach for the
long term. So be aware of
low oil prices, but don’t get
so “pumped” about them
that you sludge up your consistent investment strategy
— because that strategy has
the energy to keep you moving toward your important
objectives.
What Do Low Oil Prices
Mean for Investors?

Rachel Trottier, 85
BELMONT — On Jan.
22, 2015, Rachel Trottier
said her final good-byes
with all of her
children by her side.
Rachel was born Aug.
2, 1929 to Frieda Morrison and John Morrison
in Marshfield, Vt. She
was raised on a farm
with her five siblings,
where she learned the
value of hard work and
persistence, characteristics that endured and
served her well throughout her life.
In her early 20’s,
Rachel moved to New
Hampshire, where she
married the love of her
life, Leon Trottier Jr.,
on Nov. 6, 1954. Together they raised six children, where her patience
proved to be her strongest virtue.
Throughout
the
years, Rachel worked at
the Tilton Dress Shop,
Webster Valve,
Wyman-Gordon and
eventually retired from
Freudenburg NOK.
Famous for her egg
rolls and chop suey, Rachel loved to cook for
her family. She enjoyed
spending time at the
ocean and valued her
time camping, but she
was happiest when she
was with family. Her
children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren
were her greatest accomplishments and she never ceased to share that
love.
Her spirit is carried
on by her six children
and 27 grandchildren
and
great-grandchildren, whose photos and
stories she gladly shared
with anyone who’d listen: Clara Ross (son
Jay); John Moore (wife
Deborah); Debbie Sargent (husband Doug, son
Doug Jr.); David Trottier (wife Betty, children
Kendra Greene and
David); Dennis Trottier (wife Betsy, children
John Cotes and Ernie
Cotes); Doug Trottier
(wife Vanessa, children
Eric Christie, Kaylee,
Brian, Nicholas, and
Christian); sisters Elsie McNally and Becky
Bailey of Williamstown,
Vermont; and other family and loved ones too
numerous to list, but not
forgotten.
Rachel was reunited
with her beloved predeceased grandson, Shawn
Sargent,
her
predeceased
brothers, Sonny Morrison and Evi Morrison,
and a sister, Bea Irons.
Rachel may have entered the Gates of Heaven, but her legacy lives
on in the
lessons we learned
and the stories that
we never tire of telling. Whether known as
mum, grandma, auntie,
sister, or Sapphire we
will treasure our memories and sleep better
knowing she’s watching
over us.

Katherine E. Seavey, 101
FRANKLIN — Katherine E. Seavey passed
peacefully at Mountain
Ridge Nursing Home in
Franklin on Jan. 21, 2015
at the age of 101.
She was born on Nov.
18, 1913 in Brentwood,
the daughter of Edgar
and Isabelle (Montgomery) Knight. A long time
resident of the town of
New Hampton, Katherine spent many years
serving as assistant
town clerk. She and her
husband also owned and
ran the village store for
many years until they
closed it in 1949. One has
to marvel at the changes
in history she saw in her
lifetime, the great depression, several wars,
the invention of automobiles, the civil rights
movement, technology
and many presidents to
name a few.
Katherine loved to
bake and stay busy. It
was nothing to drive by
the farmhouse and see
her out with her chainsaw cutting down a tree,
mowing the lawn on
her riding mower with
bricks on the seat to
keep it running because
she didn’t weigh enough,
or see her up on the roof
doing repairs and this
is when she was in her
70’s and 80’s. There was
no way you were going
to tell her she couldn’t
do something. She was
an amazing, strong, self
sufficient woman who
never complained.
If
you asked Katherine
how she was doing, her
favorite response was
“ornery as ever,” but
she didn’t fool anyone,
everyone knew she had
a kind heart.
She is survived by her
two loving daughters,
Elizabeth Dupont and
Terry Wingate; seven
grandchildren; ten great
grandchildren and three
great-great
grandchildren.
She was pre-deceased
by the love of her life
and husband Arthur,
whom she missed very
much. She was also predeceased by her two
brothers, Robert Knight,
George Liam Knight and
sister’s Edith and Louise
Knight.
Katherine has gone
to be with Arthur, and
will be that angel smiling down on all of us
from above. She will be
missed very much.
There will be no calling hours.
Services will be held
at 11 a.m. on Saturday,
Feb. 7, 2015 at the New
Hampton
Community
Church, 14 Church Lane,
New Hampton. A private
burial will be held at the
Village Cemetery in New
Hampton in the spring.

Huot Center hosts exploration panel
for plumbing and HVAC careers
LACONIA
— On
Wednesday,
January
14, The Huot Technical
Center offered exploration panel to provide
information about careers in Plumbing and
HVAC systems.
Students from the Huot
Center Plumbing and
Heating
Class
and
the regional sending
schools attended the
panel discussion made
up of guest speakers
from local companies
and agencies.
Students had the
opportunity to hear
firsthand how their education will play out in
the real world - and the
future is bright! The
Heating and Plumbing field has been established by the Federal Government as a
“Bright Outlook” field,
meaning employment
is expected to grow rapidly for the next several years and will have
large amounts of openings, including in areas
of new and emerging occupations. The plumbing industry is an upand-coming career that
requires training and a
strong, dedicated personality. Becoming a
plumber with the education from the Huot
Plumbing
program
helps ensure a secure
job, and a good income.
During the discussion,
students
discovered
that the plumbing industry is one of the most
stable careers in the
country, and trained
workers in the heating
and plumbing fields are
in high demand in today’s world. Harvey
Woodside
of the Granite Group
echoed
these
statements, explaining that
once trained, a plumber
could gain employment
in any location around
the country and the
world. Bob Terrio of
Stafford Oil, explained
how the majority of the
plumbing and heating
workforce are seasoned
employees, and the
need for a young competent workforce is immanent. Cliff Grenon, an
alumni from the Huot
Tech Plumbing and
Heating class 2001 and
Jason Cross, both from
Laconia Refrigeration,
explained how their
role relies on self-discipline, and is challenging; always varied
with opportunities to
constantly learn new
approaches and work
with new technologies.
RJ Pauley, a 2014 Huot
Plumbing and Heating
Alum, discussed how
he gained successful
employment at Granite State Heating and
Plumbing, LLC and
enrollment into the apprenticeship program.
Pauley shared how the
Huot program helped
him advance in his apprenticeship. Because
his class hours at the
Huot were taken into
consideration, he was
able to complete the
typical 4-year program
in only 3. Fran Wendelboe, President of
the Belmont 4-H Fairgrounds, described how
the second year plumbing students have been
invaluable in the renovation of the 300 year
old building. Fran gave
great advice of work
practices and expectations, and tied in local
industry practices with
state legislation.
Students were encouraged to ask questions and talk individually with the employers.
They were excited about
the potential areas of
employment which include: Private Contractors, Plumbing Supply
Companies,
Building
Supply
Companies,
Federal State and Local Governments, Industry and Institutions
(Maintenance), Heating
Supply Companies, Air
Conditioning
Supply
Companies, Fuel Oil
Companies.
The Huot Techni-
Fourth Graders were
not to be outdone as they
took to the stage to sing
“An African Wish” and
the spiritual “Wade in
the Water.”
The Vocal Ensemble
brought back a little of
their holiday tour tunes
for those who might
have missed their performances in the area
throughout the month
of December. The group
brought a lot of smiles
with “Grandma’s Killer
Fruitcake” and “Reindeer Jive” along with
their beautiful rendition
of “On This Still, Still
Night.”
Closing the night out
was the Combined Chorus. Students from both
classes got everyone
tapping their feet with
“The Constitution Rap,”
which Shaw said has
been especially helpful
in teaching them the
meaning of that all-important, historical document.
“Let’s learn about the
history, let’s learn about
the fate of the Con-stitution of the U-ni-ted
States,” they began.
After
running
through the components
of Articles 1-7 of the Constitution they summed
it all up with the words,
“So here’s to the men…
who did all they could
do…to build a strong
country…
the
Red,
White and Blue!”
Finally, the evening

cal Institute is grateful for the continued
relationships
within
the community. The
local guest speakers
offered a face and inspiring testimonial to
the purpose of what
students are learning.
Students walked away
with a greater insight
into their options after
completing the Heating
and Plumbing program,
and the possibilities of
pursuing a successful
career.

“Mrs. Prout started
with us when her son
was in third grade. She
doesn’t even have students in the school any
longer but she continues
to help us out every year
and we really appreciate
her,” said Shaw.
Third grader Courtney was among the
dozens of students who
participated
in

year’s concert and said
she loves to sing, as evident by her broad smile
and enthusiastic performances in Third Grade
Chorus, Combined Chorus and Vocal Ensemble.
“I’ve been singing

Early, late pins push Bobcats past Bears
JOSHUA SPAULDING
Christian Duquette of Winnisquam works to take down Plymouth’s Amani Mwingira in action
Jan. 21.
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
TILTON — With both
teams entering with
undefeated records in
Division III, the Plymouth and Winnisquam
wrestlers were ready for
a good battle on Wednesday, Jan. 21, in Tilton.
And while there were
a lot of competitive
matches throughout the
evening, the Bobcats
were able to pull away
with three straight pins
to close out the match
and took a 50-24 win over
the Bears.
“Winnisquam was up
for the fight,” Plymouth
coach Randy Cleary said.
“It was a good crowd, a
good atmosphere. I haven’t seen it like this in
the Winnisquam gym in
a long time.
“It’s good to see this
back in Tilton,” he continued. “We’re going to
see a lot more of this out
of Winnisquam.”
Bear coach Paul Hrycuna had no complaints
despite the final score not
going in his direction.
“They have a deeper lineup and they have
some solid kids,” Hrycuna said. “They won
the matches we needed
to win in order to pull
through.
“Of course they were
discouraged,” the Bear
coach continued. “We all
wanted to win, but the
bottom line, it’s not the
state tournament.”
The Bobcats got out to
a quick lead on four consecutive wins out of the
gate.
Chris Comeau opened
the meet with a 12-3 win
over Winnisquam’s Kyle
Bolduc at 138 pounds.
Cleary pointed to that
match as the one that set
the table for his team.
“Two very even, good
kids, both have beaten
each other in the past,”
Cleary stated. “I felt that
was going to fire up one
team one way or another.”
Cleary was also aware
that his team could get
put in a good position
right out of the gate with
that win.

Sam Slaughter followed it up for Plymouth
with a 9-1 win over Hunter Keyser at 145 pounds.
Plymouth’s David Waterbury came up with a
pin in just 30 seconds, defeating Damian Donahou
at 152 pounds and Tom
Hamel got the forfeit
win for Plymouth at 160
pounds.
The four wins gave
Plymouth a quick 20-0
lead.
Winnisquam
came
battling back by winning
the next three matches,
including the most competitive match of the
night, which came at 170
pounds between Plymouth’s Amani Mwingira and Winnisquam’s
Christian Duquette.
With Mwingira holding a slight lead into the
second period, Duquette
snagged two points for a
slim lead and then added
a couple of points in the
third for the 5-3 win, getting Winnisquam on the
board.
Richie Mills followed
that up with a pin of
Plymouth’s
Garrett
Macedonia to keep Winnisquam rolling at 182
pounds to make it 20-6.

Devlin-Young bests field at X Games
ASPEN, Colo. — The
gates opened to the public for the first time at X
Games Aspen 2015 and a
Thursday night record
crowd of 16,300 poured
in and were witness to
some familiar faces taking medals along with
some new ones.
The first gold medal
of day two was handed
out in Mono Skier X,
which made its return
in 2015 after a threeyear hiatus. Fifty-threeyear-old Chris DevlinYoung of Campton, who
was twice the age of his
youngest
competitor,
beat the field down the
X Course to capture the
crown. The oldest competitor in the X Games
field crossed the finish
line before silver medalist Brandon Adam and
bronze medalist Ravi
Drugan. Adam also captured the silver in 2011,
the last time the event
was held at X Games Aspen.
“It's 100 percent all
of my success,” DevlinYoung said of the support from his family. “I
train really hard and I
am an alpine ski racer
so I spend all season long
preparing for a race. Today was just another
race, a really big one,
but just another race.
“And having the support at home to say, 'go
be the best you can and
I am going to be here to
support you and I love
you.' That's worth more
than any gold medal,"
Devlin-Young added.
With his win DevlinYoung became the oldest person in history to
win an X Games medal.
Devlin-Young, a disabled veteran paralyzed
in a Coast Guard plane
crash, bested an international field despite being
in recovery from total
shoulder reconstruction
in June, a result of injuries suffered in a Super G crash at the Sochi
Paralympic Games.

Adam Hughes pinned
Winnisquam’s Damian
Amirault to close out the
win.
Hrycuna noted for his
team, a lot had to do with
match

something he knows will
come as the team continues to garner more experience.
“The skills are there,
the ability is there, match

said. “As Winnisquam,
we have nothing to lose
and everything to gain.
“Every guy showed up
ready to go and did everything I asked them to do,”
Hrycuna continued.
“I’m happy to get

Cleary said.
The Bobcats will be
back in action on Saturday, Jan. 31, at the
Concord Invitational at
