Those who attended the Post Incident Assessment had assisted with all that transpired on June 24, when a lightning strike at a Boy Scout reservation in Gilmanton sent 23 teenaged Scouts and three adult councilors to local hospi- tals for evaluation and treatment. “We want to identify what went well that night, and what we might do bet- ter in the future,” Belmont Fire Chief David Parenti said as he prepared to re- view the timeline of the in- cident and the response lev- els it was met with. The Scouts, who were undergoing leadership training in a wooded loca- tion about a quarter of a mile from their headquar- ters, were caught up in a se- vere storm that rocked the region. While lightning struck beside their canopied shel- ter at approximately 5:30 p.m., Parenti said it took some time before the vic- tims could make their way out of the woods and notify LRGH that they were on their way to the hospital. An LRGH representative said she received a call from the camp saying they were en route with 23 patients in need of evaluation. “I respectfully demand- ed they stop at Belmont Fire Department for triage be- cause we just don’t have cardio monitors for 23 peo- ple,” she said. She was not sure how far up Route 140 they were at the time of their call. That, she explained, was why she instructed them to proceed to Belmont, with a 24 hour staff on duty, rather than stopping at the Gilmanton station. And there, as it turned out, the perfect set up came into play. Located at the cross- roads of Routes 106 and 140, with a spacious parking lot and circular driveway con- figuration, BFD’s on-duty officer, Lt. Robert Laraway, was able to set up locations for treatment and evalua- tion at the fire station. At the same time, firefighters and EMT’s were able to hold the incoming patients in front of the building where they were initially assessed before they were sent to the proper stations in the lot. Ambulances lined up, ready to move to each site, load their patients, then head to either LRGH, Con- cord, Franklin, and eventu- ally Huggins and Speare Memorial Hospitals. BFD’s Lt. Michael Newhall said he and the rest of the department were surprised at what they en- countered as the first pa- tients arrived at approxi- mately 8:30 p.m. DONNA RHODES Belmont Fire Chief David Parenti led a Post Incident Assessment with local fire departments and hospital staff members to review the timeline and response for a Mass Casualty Incident on June 24 that sent 23 Boy Scouts and three adults to five hospitals following a lightning strike at their camp in Gilmanton.

The circus comes to Belmont BY DONNA RHODES [email protected] BELMONT — Summer in the Lakes Region isn’t complete without a trip to the Belknap 4-H Fair each August, and this year, there is another great reason to head over to the fair- grounds in Belmont — the circus comes to town this month. “It’s been many years since we’ve had a circus come to the fairgrounds, and we thought it would be a great way to have offer some more family fun and draw attention to our grounds,” said board mem- ber Sherrie Bellerose. On July 10, the Walker International Circus will be putting up the Big Top and amazing people with their 90 minutes of circus acts, animals, plenty of laughter and some “thrills and chills” along the way. Walker International is a fourth generation, family- owned circus, and provides audiences everywhere with a memorable night of fun and entertainment. In addi- tion to the performances, there will be food and sou- venirs available. Show times are 5:30 and 7:30 p.m., and with the pur- chase of one $15 adult tick- et, two children (ages 14 and under) will be admitted free with a coupon. The coupons are now available at local businesses. Additional chil- dren’s tickets will be sold for $5 and all tickets can be purchased in advance through www.walkerinter- nationalevents.com or at the box office on the night of the event. The other big news this summer is that the Belknap County 4-H Fair is celebrat- ing a milestone anniver- sary in 2013, and organizers hope to make it an equally memorable experience for all with their theme, “70 Years of Belknap 4-H… It‘s Not Just Agriculture Any- more.” Over Saturday and Sun- day, Aug. 10 and 11, 4-H members and other local or- ganizations will be showing their animals, displaying their handiwork and com- peting for ribbons in a vast array of categories. Known as the “biggest little agricultural fair in New Hampshire,” the week- end will include animal shows, the always popular oxen and tractor pull com- petitions, crafts, exhibits, demonstrations and more. On Sunday, the Lakes Re- gion Show Series Open Horse shows will also take place at the fairgrounds. There will be live enter- tainment throughout both days, featuring music from country to rock, and even a string band performance. Children can enjoy the Midway as well as some personal encounters with many types of livestock. Ed the Wizard will also be on hand to keep them enter- tained.

The meeting also ad- dressed environmental is- sues facing the state. Commissioners, staff, and local and state offi- cials gathered at the Inn at Church Landing on Mon- day for the annual meet- ing of the Lakes Region Planning Commission. LRPC President Stan- ley Bean announced that Executive Director Kimon Koulet will be retiring at the end of the calendar year. Koulet has served the LRPC for around 30 years. “That saddens us great- ly; he has been a pleasure to work with,” Bean said. Bean said the LRPC will try to find a replacement for Koulet, though it will be impossible to fully re- place him. The meeting also hon- ored a number of local people who have worked hard for the environment. An award of apprecia- tion was given to members of the Clean Waters Asso- ciation, a group that has been instrumental in cleaning local waters for the past few decades. Awards were given to Esther Peters, Peter Kara- gianis, Jim Walker, and Don Foudriat. The B. Kimball Ayers Award was presented to Christopher Conrod of Tamworth.

To demonstrate his point, Small first introduced them to a tiny African Pygmy Hedgehog. Small said a hedgehog enjoys digging in- to soft soils in search of grubs, insects, worms and other foods. “If you had one of these living in your garden, it would be the best thing ever,” he said. “The people in Africa cherish seeing them.” A giant sulcata (or spurred) tortoise from Africa was another keen digger Small presented for the children to look at and touch. Besides their claws, the sulcata also has scales on their legs to help get them underground. “They use these like shovels. It’s possible for them to dig a hole and tun- nel big enough for most of you to get underground, too,” Small said.

BELMONT — Four outof five area hospitals, dis-patchers from Lakes Re-gion Mutual Fire Aid, rep-resentatives from the Bel-mont Police Department,and seven out of nine areafire departments gatheredat Belmont Fire Station lastFriday for a review on howa recent Mass Casualty In-cident was handled earlierin the week.

Sanbornton Historical Society releases CD compiling Lib Andrews’ recipes

BY DONNA [email protected]

SANBORNTON — TheSanbornton HistoricalSociety has launched anew fundraiser this yearwith the sale of a CD fea-turing a year’s worth ofrecipes from the formerrenowned Sanborntonresident and culinary ex-pert, Lib Andrews, whoshared her cooking tal-ents for many yearsthrough her weekly news-paper columns.

“We’ve compiled all ofher recipes over theyears. Each week’s col-umn she wrote is on indi-vidual pages, on the CDand are broken down intoappetizers, main dishes,desserts, etc.,” said JackPotter, one of the projectcoordinators.

Potter said many peo-ple had a hand in puttingthe CD together, includ-ing Steele Hill Resort’sCEO, Bill Cutillo, whohelped with productioncosts. Also important inthe arduous task wasMeghan Farkus, who re-typed all of the informa-

tion for the new comput-erized format.

Besides the greatrecipes, published from1978 until 1990, there aremany interesting localtidbits in the compila-tion. Andrews added dai-ly events into her column.Some of these poignanttales include teachingGirl Scouts to make herfamous English muffinsor the time she was on thehunt for cherishedrecipes, like one forsquash that she sent herhusband Henry out tohelp her track down.Most of all, they are sto-ries surrounding herbeloved ties to Sanborn-ton and the Lakes Region.

“It’s not just recipes,it’s her life, filled with hu-man interest stories,too,” Potter said.

One of the Sanborntontown historians, MillieShaw, was instrumentalin getting the project un-derway. Her initialthought was a print ver-sion, to preserve An-drews’ columns for future

generations, but thatproved to be too costly anundertaking.

After being “shelved”for a few years, the proj-ect recently found a newlife in the world of mod-ern technology. Shaw

said she is happy that heroriginal mission is nowaccomplished.

“She was so wellknown, and we wanted torecognize her. It was timeto recognize her and thefruits of her labors. Weneed to keep historyalive, and each column ofhers had some history ofpeople and places in ourtown,” said Shaw.

Andrews’ daughter,Nancy Adams, is alsohappy to see her motherbeing rememberedthrough the HistoricalSociety, and said even to-day, “Lib” still commandsa big fan club.

“I’m really touchedthat a lot of people stillcare, and I think it’s greatthat the Historical Soci-ety is interested in con-tinuing to spread her

work,” said Adams.The result now is that

13 years of ‘Cooking withLib’ is just a mouse clickaway. Using modern tech-nology, the CD reads likea book on almost anycomputer and allows peo-ple to find recipes theyare seeking and sure toenjoy.

As an added bonus, theCD also includes 199recipes from other localculinary notables whohelped publish the San-bornton Farmers’ MarketCookbook.

Copies of this exten-sive CD collection arenow on sale for $25 eachat the Lane Tavern, andwill also be available atother town events such asthe Old Home Day cele-bration in August and theannual Christmas Fair.

Throughtheir words and com-pelling presence, theyask us to look within ourown hearts and listendeeply, so we too can jointhe conversation andspeak With One Voice.

More locally, Smallbrought along two finalcreatures for the children tomeet. The first was a youngwoodchuck, an animal oftenseen in fields of New Hamp-shire.

“These are amazing dig-gers.. They can move up to500,000 pounds of dirt anddig tunnels 25-30 feet long,five feet down in theground,” Small told thecrowd.

His final animal, “Pep-per,” a young gray fox, wastoo shy to make an appear-ance at first, but at the endof the program, Small wasable to coax her out for abrief visit. Fox, too, dig forfood and are known to tun-nel through snow in the win-ter months to find a meal.

Small encouraged thechildren to get outside andenjoy the earth and remem-ber that all creatures have apurpose. While some oftheir digging activities arenot always welcomed in gar-dens and pastures, they allserve to help the soil.

New Hampshire’s

statewide summer readingprogram this year, “Dig intoReading,” will be celebratedin other ways throughoutthe coming weeks at San-bornton Public Library.

Sanbornton master gar-dener Karen Ober will jointhe group on July 10 for aprogram titled, “Grow YourMind in the Garden.”

On July 17 readers willexcavate some plastic di-nosaurs for some more dig-ging fun, and on July 24 thelibrary will hold a “Touch ATruck” event with the San-bornton Public Works De-partment. The children will

get to experience, up closeand personal, what it is likeinside the big rigs, plowsand earth-moving equip-ment used by the depart-ment.

The group will also takean imaginary trip to Pom-peii where they will enjoymaking mosaics on July 31,then they’ll have some funwith magician AndrewPinard as he digs into hisbag of tricks to entertainthem when the programwraps up for the summer onAug. 7.

To the Editor:At election time, we listen

to a lot of presentations andpromises made by the can-didates for State Senatorand take that into consider-ation when casting our voteat election time.

I recently wanted to knowhow all 24 of our State Sen-

ators voted on a an amend-ment, to a bill about elec-tric renewable portfoliostandard, which furtherderegulated telephone serv-ice in N.H. and eliminatedthe Public Utilities Com-mission authority to sup-port customers who have aservice problem with Fair

Point.Unfortunately It seems

that the only way you canverify how your Senatorvoted is if a roll call vote istaken and each Senatorsvote is officially recorded.So far this year, I have beentold that only three roll callvotes have been taken. If a

voice vote is taken on a billthere is no record of whovoted which way.

Do you know how yourSenator voted?

Wouldn't you like to knowbefore the next election ?Ask your Senator!

Shop and Food Pantry

“We assumed most justneeded to be checked andthere would be some anxi-ety, but when the first vehi-cle pulled in, we foundburns on some of theirhands, chest and feet,” saidNewhall.

That in itself elevatedthe situation, and whenParenti arrived at the sta-tion, he soon called for a sec-ond alarm Mass CasualtyIncident to bring more am-bulances to the scene fortransport.

Ambulances wereloaded with those who hadburns and potential car-diac-related concerns first.Two by two ambulancestransported their patients,then returned to see if theycould assist with others, asadvised by LRMFA dis-patcher Chris Reynoldswho monitored the situa-tion and sent staff as it wasneeded.

Helping out that eveningwere crews from Belmont,

Gilmanton, Laconia,Tilton-Northfield, Alton,Gilford and Franklin, whileLoudon crews served ascoverage for Belmont.

Due to the Mutual AidResponse, Laconia’s ChiefKen Erickson said no townwas left without their ownnecessary ambulance cov-erage as all 26 patients weretransported.

Belmont Police also re-sponded to allow ambu-lances access in and out ofthe fire department, whileholding news agencies andcuriosity seekers at bay asscouts were being assessed.

Hospitals suggested afew adjustments in protocolfor such incidents but oth-erwise thought the nightwent extremely well.

Representatives fromLakes Region General Hos-pital, Huggins Hospital andConcord Hospital said asuggestion for the futurewould be to receive more in-formation on the specifictypes of injuries involvedin a Mass Casualty Incidentthat might be headed to

their facility so properstaffing levels can be main-tained.

One other minor requestwas for hospitals to be keptup to date as to where all pa-tients are sent in a largescale incident. LRGH saidthey fielded many callsfrom anxious parents, look-ing for their children sincephone lines were jammedat the remote camp.

A list was provided overthe course of the night, butParenti acknowledgedthere may be ways to expe-dite that information in thefuture.

Overall, Parenti and allothers felt the incident washandled very efficiently.

The only real drawbackto the night, Parenti said,was the unexpected bar-rage of phone calls he be-gan to receive from nation-al news agencies, such asABC’s “Good MorningAmerica,” CNN and eventhe Weather Channel, alllooking for information hecould not always provide.

“In the future, I’ll be sure

to assign a (Public Informa-tion Officer) if we have an-other occurrence such asthis,” said Parenti.

Besides congratulatingeveryone on a job well done,Parenti, Larraway, Newhalland others acknowledgedthe Boy Scouts and their or-ganization for how well theevent was handled.

“No one was overly ex-cited or out of control. Thekids were incredible whenthey arrived,” Laraway not-ed.

In addition, Scout lead-ers had taken the time toprovide each patient withthe medical forms fromtheir camp registrationfiles, a measure that wasgreatly appreciated by bothEMTs and hospital staffmembers.

LRGH Emergency Ser-vices representative JohnPuckett told the fire fight-ers, “This wasn’t a badnight. It was well managed.Thank you for how youturned this from being adisaster into just a busynight for us.”

MEREDITH — Theworld’s greatest detective,Sherlock Holmes, makeshis debut performance atthe Winnipesaukee Play-house this summer!

Holmes has seeminglyreached the end of his ca-reer when a case presentsitself that’s too tempting toignore. The WinnipesaukeePlayhouse presents “Sher-lock Holmes: The Final Ad-venture” by Steven Dietz,winner of the 2007 EdgarAward for Best MysteryPlay, from July 3 to July 13.

The play begins in 1891London with the declara-tion of Holmes’ death nar-rated by his most loyal andtrusted companion, DoctorWatson. Doctor Watsonputs his pen to paper to tellthe story of the last wordsof his dear friend, and greatdetective, Sherlock Holmes.It all begins with the arrivalof a letter to Watson. With

Doctor Watson at his side,Sherlock Holmes pursuesfirst the case, and then theaffections of the beautifulIrene Adler—and in doingso, marches right into thelair of his long time adver-sary, that malevolent geniusof crime: Professor Moriar-ty. In this spirited, fast-mov-ing and thoroughly theatri-cal adaptation, Dietz pres-ents Holmes at the height ofhis powers—surrounded byall the elements that fans ofhis exploits have come to ex-pect: danger, intrigue, wit,humour, and surprise.

“Sherlock Holmes: TheFinal Adventure” will be di-rected by Neil Pankhurst,one of the Playhouse’s fourfounding members. Thecast consists of familiarfaces to Playhouse audi-ences including: JonathanWeber, Alex Jacobs, KevinKillavey, Nicholas Wilder,AJ Ditty, Richard

Brundage, Rebecca Turner,and Donna Schilke.

Pankhurst says, “Sher-lock Holmes never left thepublic's imagination sincethe character was createdin the 1890’s, but he proba-bly hasn't been any morepopular in his 125 year his-tory than the past five years.With two films starringRobert Downey, Jr., theBBC/PBS series starringBenedict Cumberbatch, thenew CBS series Elementarystarring Johnny Lee Miller(as well as all the Sherlockconnections with the med-ical drama ‘House’), thereseems to be more interestthan ever in this iconic de-tective. This version of twoof Conan Doyle's storieshas all the most importantelements and charactersone would hope to see in aSherlock Holmes story. SoHolmes' nemesis Moriartyis there to try to destroy

him, his faithful right-handman Watson is there forsupport, and the onlywoman in Holmes' life,Irene Adler, is there to notonly be saved but to fall inlove with also. If you enjoythe Sherlock Holmes genre,you will love this show.”

“Sherlock Holmes: TheFinal Adventure” will bethe second play of the sum-mer season performed atthe brand new Win-nipesaukee Playhouse cam-pus in Meredith. The Sum-mer 2013 season is gener-

Most often on South Hill,we get a warning of thun-derstorms when they loomover Monadnock, fourmiles away across the riverin Vermont. In the daytime,that gives me just enoughtime to quit what I’m doingand head for the porch orthe barns, good places towatch the show, which ourMom always called free fire-works and therefore betterthan the Fourth of July.

Nighttime is anotherthing. It’s still often a grandshow, but it means a rusharound the house to unplugvulnerable electrical de-vices and, above all, locatethe nearest flashlight, can-dle and box of matches, nec-

essary for lighting the an-tique kerosene lanternsthat are in every room in thehouse.

Actually, they werekerosene in the old days. Iguess you’d now have to callthem lanterns that thesedays burn a highly refinedand nearly odorless petrole-um product, a better waybut a long time to say. Thefuel comes from the hard-ware store and is clear asgin. But the process is thesame.

If I’ve done my job eachspring and fall, the eightlanterns are filled and theirwicks trimmed, and they’reready to go. I light them inevery room even though Idon’t have to. It beats car-rying them around, andthere’s something aboutthat cheery glow on astormy night.

That done, I go out intothe shop and closet wherewe keep all the hiking andcamping stuff. Rummagingaround is supposed to yieldat least one gas and one bat-tery-powered florescentlamp, and usually does, andout onto the kitchen count-er they go, for reading or agame of cribbage.

Okay,so the upside of los-ing power: With a maniacal

overabundance of lanterns,two fireplaces and a woodstove in the joint, we haveplenty of light and heat.Downside: no water (thepump is 300 feet down). Up-side: I keep two five-gallonpails full of water for flush-ing toilets. Another down-side: The freezer will onlystay frozen for so long,

which is precisely why wedon’t open it.

“What is this guy, a Lud-dite?” tens of thousands aremaybe thinking. No, backyears ago, when we set upthe outdoor furnace andhad to dig a deep trenchacross barn driveway andgarden for pipes from fur-nace to house, right along-

This week, we celebrate

Independence Day with fire-

works, sparklers, picnics and

parades. Amidst the hoopla,

though, it’s always import-

ant to reflect on the many

freedoms we enjoy in this

country. And as an individ-

ual, you may want to use the

occasion to think of another

type of independence you’d

like to enjoy — financial

independence.

In some ways, we are liv-

ing in a time when attaining

financial freedom is more

difficult than it has been for

quite a while. We’re still

recovering from the bursting

of the housing bubble and the

lingering effects of the Great

Recession. Furthermore,

wage stagnation is a real

problem. In fact, median

income for working-age

households — those headed

by someone under age 65

— actually slid 12.4 percent

from 2000 to 2011. Taken

together, these factors cer-

tainly impose challenges on

anyone seeking to become

financially independent and

eventually enjoy a comfort-

able retirement.

Still, you need to do every-

thing you can to put yourself

on the path to financial inde-

pendence. For starters, make

full use of whatever resourc-

es are available to you. If

you have a 401(k) or similar

retirement plan at work, try

to contribute as much as you

can possibly afford — and

every time you get a raise

in salary, increase your con-

tributions. At the very least,

put in enough to earn your

employer’s matching contri-

bution, if one is offered.

Also, within your 401(k)

or similar plan, choose an

investment mix that offers

you the chance to achieve

the growth you will need to

make progress toward the

type of retirement lifestyle

you’ve envisioned.

In addition to contributing

to your 401(k), you can also

take advantage of another

retirement account: a tra-

ditional or Roth IRA. Like

a 401(k), a traditional IRA

grows tax deferred, while a

Roth IRA can grow tax free,

provided you meet certain

conditions. Plus, you can

fund your IRA with virtual-

ly any type of investment,

including stocks, bonds,

certificates of deposit and

Treasury securities.

What else can you do to

help yourself move toward

financial independence? For

one thing, don’t become

dependent on “hot tips” or

other questionable finan-

cial advice about The Next

Big Thing in the investment

world from so-called experts

who often have poor prog-

nostication records. Even

more importantly, though,

their advice may simply be

inappropriate for your needs

and risk tolerance.

Finally, consider these

two suggestions: Maintain

adequate liquidity and keep

your debt levels as low as

possible. By having enough

cash reserves to cover unex-

pected costs, such as a major

car repair or a new air-condi-

tioning unit, you won’t have

to dip into your long-term

investments. And by keeping

your debt payments down,

you’ll have a stronger cash

flow, which means you’ll

have more money available

to save and invest for your

future.

Each one of these sug-

gestions will require a com-

mitment on your part, along

with a clear focus on your

goal of financial indepen-

dence — there just aren’t

any “short cuts.” But with

a consistent effort, you can

keep moving along on your

journey toward your own

Financial Independence Day.

But although we oftenlose power in a particularlyvigorous thunderstorm weseldom lose it for very long.Two days are about the bestI can remotely remember.We are a widely scatteredbunch, here on a ridge withviews into Vermont andsouthern Quebec, and sopeople are good about call-ing Colebrook dispatch, thetrap being everyone assum-

Our supplier is NewHampshire Electric Coop-erative, and I have great re-spect for their line crewsand those of Public Serviceand other companies whogo out into the worst condi-tions imaginable to restorecustomers’ power. Even thebest maintainers of rightsof way cannot foresee everyerrant tree or lightningbolt. To those I hear grous-ing the next morning aboutlosing power in the night Iwant to say “Hey, you go outthere and fool around withdeadly electricity on a darkand freezing night,” but Idon’t.

Often, when we’ve justsettled in with a fire in thefireplace and a cribbageboard or a good book, thelights snap back on, too bad,in a way, because thingswere just getting cozy, likethe days of old.

Family scholarship helping local nursing studentsBY ERIN [email protected]

REGION — A localnurse’s legacy, the efforts ofher husband, and the con-tinuing dedication of theirchildren is helping out lo-cal students in their futurenursing careers.

This year, four prospec-tive nursing students eachreceived $4,000 awards fromthe newly-formedBerghahn Family NursingScholarship. The scholar-ship was a long fought forvictory by the Berghahnfamily, starting with WalterG. Berghahn’s years ofwork to try to establish ascholarship in his wife’smemory.

The scholarship wasformed in honor of MarthaL. (Buckley) Berghahn.Martha Berghahn was aNew Hampshire native,was born in Berlin andtrained as a nurse in Con-cord in the late 1940’s. Afterliving in Schenectady, N.Y.and Lynn and Lee, Mass.,she eventually settled inNew Jersey, where she be-came active in the RedCross. Some of her work in-cluded the establishmentand organization of a train-ing program for HomeHealth Aides.

As she served her com-munity, Walter Berghahnsaid his mother used herskills in healing on familyand friends, especially herhusband Walter G.Berghahn.

“She seemed to be one ofthose people that othersreached out to in times oftrouble and she alwayshelped,” Walter Berghahn

said. “I think this is whatmy Dad remembered most.He was the direct benefici-ary of this after suffering aheart attack in 2002 and un-dergoing a quintuple by-pass. He swears he wouldhave never recovered if notfor my mothers nursing.She literally saved his life.”

Martha Berghahn diedof cancer in 2006. Her hus-band wanted to honor hermemory by forming a schol-arship to help young peopleentering the field of nurs-ing. Walter Berghahn saidhis father then found outforming his own scholar-ship, especially his ownnonprofit organization,was excessively difficult.

The process of forming a501c-3 through the govern-ment was exceedingly com-plicated and costly. Otheravenues also did not provesuccessful.

“It was amazingly im-portant,” Walter Berghahnsaid. “He was very passion-ate about it, he wanted tomake it happen and he justcouldn’t get it done.”

Walter G. Berghahn diedin 2012, and the family de-cided to carry on his workto form the scholarship. Hisson Walter Berghahn tookon the organization dutiesand other members of hisfamily contributed to the ef-fort.

The family settled in Gil-ford in 2004, and familymembers been involvedwith the Gilford Communi-ty Church for a number ofyears. Walter Berghahn hasbeen a parishioner of theGilford CommunityChurch for the past eight

years, his father was also in-volved with the church andsupported the efforts toform the Gilford Youth Cen-ter.

Walter Berghahn ap-proached Pastor MichaelGraham asking if thechurch would be willing tohost the scholarship. Hesaid he knows the churchdoes manage other scholar-ships and had the experi-ence to manage theBerghahn scholarship. Gra-ham said yes to having thechurch take on the scholar-ship. Walter Berghahn saidthis was a great relief, espe-cially knowing how thechurch has helped the com-munity.

“We just felt it was theperfect home for the schol-arship,” Walter Berghahnsaid.

As the church does workon some other scholarships,Berghahn said they wereable to give guidance onhow to format the applica-tion to be filled out by thestudents. Berghahn noti-fied local schools of the newscholarship.

“They were very helpful,all the guidance depart-ments were excited to seeanother scholarship,”Berghahn said

The scholarship wasopen to students attendingGilford, Laconia, ProspectMountain, Inter-Lakes, andWinnisquam Regional HighSchools. Students had tohave a GPA of 3.0 or betterand be accepted to a nurs-ing program at an accredit-ed school. They also had todemonstrate an interest inhealthcare and/or commu-nity service.

In this first year, morethan a dozen applicationswere received for the schol-arship from all the schools.Applications were re-viewed by a six-membercommittee consisting ofchurch members and peo-ple from the community ac-tively engaged in nursingand nursing education.Berghahn said members ofthe committee included twonursing educators fromlakes Region CommunityCollege, who providedmuch feedback.

“Reading through the ap-plications, looking throughthe essays, it was very re-warding to see these kidswho where showing that in-terest and some of them,the exp they had, what leadthem to nursing, was won-derful,” Berghahn said.“You just felt great in beingable to help them, some ofthem are seeing it as adream too.”

Berghahn said the com-mittee originally aimed tochoose three students, buttwo students were so close-ly matched that a fourthwas chosen to receive thescholarship. Berghahn saidthe committee did not wantto split the award or turn astudent away.

The first Berghahn Fam-ily Nursing Scholarshipswere awarded to DavidSykie of Gilford HighSchool, who will attend Col-by-Sawyer College; PeterStivali of Laconia HighSchool, who will be attend-ing Keene State College;Allisha Yandian of Win-nisquam Regional HighSchool, who will be attend-

ing St. Joseph's College ofMaine; and JacquelineCasella-Sullivan of Inter-Lakes High School, whowill attend Endicott Col-lege.

Each student received anaward of $4,000.

Funding for the scholar-ship in this first year camefrom family money.Berghahn said the familyhopes to grow the scholar-ship, eventually opening el-igibility for people in thecommunity. Fundraising ef-forts may be considered,Berghahn said he is famil-iar with organizingfundraising efforts throughhis involvement with thechurch. He also wants tomake more of the medicalcommunity aware of thisscholarship as well.

Berghahn said he is surehis father would be proud ofthe results, saying in theend he would be happy tosee the scholarship run outof the church.

“I’m sure he’s pleasedand looking down watch-ing, smiling; both of them,”Berghahn said.

ing in Tamworth. Con-rod’s efforts have helpedpreserve conservationproperties, including the185-acre Perkins FarmEasement and others.Conrod was noted for hiswork documenting prop-erties, establishing moni-toring procedures for con-servation land, and up-dates Tamworth’s infor-mation in the GraniteDatabase.

Bean said Conrod alsoco-authored the town’s re-vised wetlands ordinance,which was held up by thestate Supreme Court afterbeing challenged by a de-veloper.

John Mersfelder spokeof Conrod’s dedicatedwork for numerous com-munity organizations inTamworth and the LakesRegion in general.

“When this persontakes on a task, he gets itdone and he gets it done in

a timely manner with at-tention to detail,” Mers-felder said.

Conrod said he consid-ers himself “a grunt.” Hesad many people have ledthe conservation chargein Tamworth “and I re-spect and admire everyone of them.”

“Why the grunt gets theaward I don’t understand,but I’m happy to have it,”Conrod said.

They keynote speakerwas Tom Burack, Com-missioner of the state De-partment of Environmen-tal Services. Burack did apresentation on the majorenvironmental issues fac-ing the state. Burack saida strong economy reliesheavily on a healthy envi-ronment.

“Everything we enjoy,our quality of life is builton that environment,” Bu-rack said.

He showed a series ofcomparison photos of ar-eas of the state that wereheavily polluted that are

now clean and consideredlandmarks or ideal prop-erty. Examples include theNashua River, which wasonce brown and now ispristine; the former land-fill in Manchester onwhich Fisher Cats Stadi-um and other propertiesare located now; the for-mer Scott & WilliamsBuilding in Laconia thatis now housing; and sever-al other places.

While many environ-mental threats such as wa-ter and air pollution havebeen addressed, the stateis facing some new chal-lenges for the future.

Burack said one of thebiggest issues facing thestate is climate change. Hesaid studies have shownthe amount of carbondioxide in the atmospherehas steadily grown in thepast 60 years from around330 parts per million in1950 to around 400 partsper million today. He saidscientists have also notedan increase in tempera-

tures along with this in-crease in carbon dioxide.

Burack said other indi-cators of this climatechange have includedmore severe storms, errat-ic precipitation, fewerdays with snow, risingfloodwaters in some partsof the state as well as anincrease in disaster decla-rations and the amount ofmoney to clean up. Buracksaid if this trend contin-ues, New Hampshiremight someday have a cli-mate similar to northernVirginia under a low car-bon model or a climatesimilar to North Carolinaunder a high carbon mod-el.

Another issue facingthe state is the increase indevelopment. Burack saidthe state’s population hasgreatly increased in thelast 40 years and there ismore development in com-munities in the southernpart of the state throughthe Lakes Region.

Burack said such devel-

opment can lead to the cre-ation of more impervioussurfaces and hence morerunoff and possible waterpollution. More people inthe state drive longer dis-tances, which Burack saidcontributes to the amountof carbon in the atmos-phere.

Burack said these arechallenges that have to beworked out collaborative-ly with the state, munici-palities, organizations,businesses, and citizensand is not just solved withincreased regulation.

He said efforts must in-clude reducing the use offossil fuels, protecting thestate’s natural resources,and keeping the forestlandintact. Options may in-clude increasing the avail-ability of public trans-portation, promotingmore compact develop-ments, facilitating energyresponsibility. Other con-cepts include adapting toclimate change, includinghazard mitigation and in-

novative stormwater man-agement.

“If we don’t do it, we’regoing to pay, and we’re go-ing to pay substantially,”Burack said.

Burack also provided ageneral update on the sta-tus of area lakes, sayingthe water quality is gener-ally “not bad” but thereare some indicators of al-gae growth and otherstressors in some water-bodies.

He also talked aboutcollection procedures forpharmaceutical and per-sonal care products otherthan flushing them downthe toilet as well as an-swering questions on a va-riety of environmentaltopics.

Burack also showed anew feature on the DESwebsite called the Envi-ronmental Dashboardshowing the environmen-tal conditions in variousareas of the state such aswater and air quality anddifferent regions.

Prescott Farm extends its sincerest thank you to their Summer Camp Scholarship Fund contributors!

LACONIA — PrescottFarm has so much to bethankful for this summercamp season! “We are atour highest registrationrate ever,” stated KimberlyDrouin, Marketing Direc-tor.

This is mainly due to allthe help we have receivedwith our Camp Scholar-ship Fund (CSF). We can’tthank enough the localbusinesses and people thathave supported our CSFthis summer, as it has of-fered so many more chil-dren the opportunity to at-tend our camps that other-wise wouldn’t have beenable to.

“We believe every childdeserves the chance to ex-perience environmentaleducation and our CSF,supported by many gener-

ous community organiza-tions, is designed to helpfamilies who would not oth-erwise be able to attend ourcamp. Full and partialscholarships are available,but funds are limited on afirst come, first serve basis.The demand this year ex-ceeded far beyond what wehad available, but with helpfrom Meredith Village Sav-ings Bank, WLNH Chil-dren's Auction, PSNH,Belknap County MasterGardeners, Bank of NewHampshire, Pike Indus-tries, Mill Falls at the Lakeand many other generousindividuals, we were ableto provide over 50 childrenwith scholarship assis-tance! Again, we want tothank those businesses andindividuals, because thiscouldn’t have been possible

without their support!“The Lakes Region com-munity is strong, both busi-nesses and individuals tru-ly can make a differencewhen working together,”stated Drouin.

Our WildQuest daycamps are licensed by theState of New Hampshireand led by experienced en-vironmental educators.Our goal is to foster an ap-preciation and understand-ing of the natural and cul-tural history of PrescottFarm, and by extension,children’s own specialplaces as well. We believethat a camp experiencewith us will enhance yourchild’s ecological aware-ness and provide fun learn-ing opportunities in a com-munity-minded and non-competitive atmosphere.

Tough season doesn’tdampen future for Raiders

BY JEFF [email protected]

BELMONT – Nothingcame easy for the BelmontHigh School baseball teamthis spring. That didn’tstop the Red Raiders frombattling until the veryend.

Despite a 3-13 seasonthat saw Belmont fail tofollow up a seven-win cam-paign in 2012 despite grad-uating just one senior offthat team, the Raidersplayed tight games downthe stretch. That includeda 13-12 loss to eventualstate runner-up Somer-sworth on the road.

“It’s tough when you geta good group of guys thatbattle,” said BHS coachMatt LeBlanc. “Thinkabout how easy itwould’ve been for theseguys to quit. They showedup every day and workedhard. They took a lot ofpride in playing and com-peting. They weren’t go-ing to bow out just becausethings weren’t workingout their way. That part isgoing to be hard to replace.You hope the underclass-men saw the seniors doingthat and can develop thatsame drive to want to com-pete and work hard.”

Junior Garrett Gilbert started every game for the Red Raiders thisseason.

JEFF LAJOIE

Brent Minery was one of Belmont’s most steady players by season’send in 2013.

the wins necessary toreach the postseason was adisappointment, especial-ly for a team that had sev-

en seniors on the roster.“I hate it for the guys, I

feel awful for them,” saidLeBlanc. “I can handle it, I

get another season. Thehardest part for me wasseeing the guys have to gothrough this. We had con-

of low scoring, closegames. This season, wethought if we could repli-cate that pitching then wecould win games with ouroffense improving. Wemet a lot of our offensivegoals and went beyondthem.”

There were some expec-tations that Belmontwould be a contender thisspring, as the team gradu-ated just one senior from a2012 team that proved to bea tough out.

“When you only loseone senior, you thinkyou’re going to be comingback strong and ready togo but that just really did-n’t end up being the case,”the coach explained. “Butat the same time I’m notgoing to say that we had a3-13 season this year andwe should just expect an-other season like it be-cause that’s not how Ifeel.”

Despite graduating sev-en seniors, there are stillsome solid underclassmenwho will play an even big-ger role next spring. Ju-nior Brent Minery woundup being one of the team’sbetter hitters this seasonwhile classmate JasonTaylor was everywhereand started the majorityof Belmont’s games. Ju-nior Garrett Gilbert start-

Region has their go-toplaces and things to do. Igot into an argument overthis recently. I’m sure yourfavorites depend on allsorts of different factors.Mine depend on fun. Now,my perspective is a little bitdifferent. If you grew uparound here, you probablyknow a few more thingsthan I do about the area. Ican handle that inferioritycomplex for now, but justgive me some time.

Having said all that, ifyou’re looking to get outand have an adventure ortwo this summer, you’re inluck. I’m going to clue youin on 10 things that youwant to make sure and doin order to really call it asuccessful summer in theLR. Let’s call it a scavengerlist of sorts.

10. Break 50 mph on thezipline at Gunstock

I did this last summer.I’m pretty sure I got up toabout 100 miles per hourand shattered all sorts ofrecords but whatever. Safe-ty first. Stick with 50.

9. Order jalapeno creamcheese on your bagel atWinnipesaukee Bay Gulls

Add some kick to yourbagel in Center Harbor ob-viously. Go with a parme-san or asiago bagel grilled.Also, make sure and askAshley how her day is go-ing.

8. Plan out a tattoo be-fore ultimately chickeningout

I just did this one lastweekend. Maybe nexttime…

7. Sink three holes in oneat Pirate’s Cove

You need to at least sinkthree before anyone therewill take you seriously. I’d

suggest four, but then againI’m not offering unrealisticactivities here.

6. Find the SandwichCreamery (in the dark with-out a GPS)

I dare you. But seriously,I finally made the trek andexperienced the Creameryfor the first time a fewweeks ago. The ice cream isinsanely good and you getto ride down a dirt road toget there. What’s not to like?

5. Play some $4 blackjackat the Lakes Region Casino

While the name changewasn’t my favorite

(shoutout to The Lodge,RIP), there’s nothing quitelike losing your money $4 ata time. Make sure you’re oflegal age, of course.

4. Have your picture tak-en with WWE SuperstarTriple H

You know the epicfortress being built downWagon Wheel in Meredith?That’s our guy. I’ve seenhim around in several spotsbut haven’t gotten closeenough for a picture. If youget one and send it to me,you’ll get an enthusiasticthumbs up in return!

Gobble, gobbleTurkey hunting season provides plenty of memories

BY JEFF [email protected]

GROTON – There werenearly 4,000 wild turkeystaken statewide during thespring of 2012. Whateverthat number wound up be-ing when this season,whichran from May 3-31, ended,it’s one bird higher thanksto my first-ever hunting ex-perience.

Let’s backtrack a bit.Part of my assimilation in-to New Hampshire life be-gan two summers ago,when I began fishing on thelakes in the area. Growingup in Massachusetts, I hadfished a handful of times asa kid but it was never some-thing I really got into. Thatchanged when I movedhere, learning the tricks ofthe trade and finding my-self wanting to head out onthe water more and more of-ten.

In order to continue mytransformation into a NewHampshirite, I made themove this spring towardsexperiencing my first hunt-ing trip. Having never shota gun before moving herelate in 2010, I began to go tothe various ranges a fewtimes over the past coupleyears. My real educationcame last summer, when Iwas invited to the Win-nipesaukee Sportsmen’sClub and got to try my handat several differentweapons. That experiencesparked my interest, andwhen this year camearound, I knew I wanted togo out and hunt for the first

time in my life.With New Hampshire

Fish & Game’s second-yearprogram that offers appren-tice-hunting licenses, I wasable to obtain my licenseand go out hunting withouttaking the mandatoryhunter’s education course.The apprentice license al-lows people interested inhunting to do so under theguidance of an experiencedhunter, basically serving asa trial year to see whetheror not hunting is somethingone wishes to pursue in thefuture.

Turkey season for thespring kicked off on May 3,and there I was, up at 3 a.m.and ready to participate onopening day. I met two of myhunting friends, Chuck andRick, who would take mealong for the ride in CenterHarbor and we headednorth, eventually navigat-ing our way to Groton.

The temperature gaugeread 38 degrees at this ear-ly hour, with darkness sur-rounding us as we arrivedat our hunting spot. Ichanged into the camou-flage gear provided for me,with my entire body cov-ered up in a ghillie suit ofleaves. After finishing ourmorning coffee, we beganour hike into the woods justbefore 5 a.m., hoping to beatsunrise and set up shopsomewhere for when theturkeys flew down afterroosting all night.

Day one was a bit of adud. While we did see sev-

eral turkeys and called tothem, we never really got inclose enough to get a shot atone. After traveling to threeor four different spots in thearea, we called it a day andhoped for better luck thenext morning. While I was-n’t able to shoot anything, Idid learn an awful lot andgot the lay of the land inwhat to expect the next timewe went out.

That next day started out

just about the same for us.We again met at 3:30 andheaded to Groton, drinkingcoffee from the same Cum-berland Farms. After call-ing for the turkeys brightand early, we moved arounda bit as we tracked a Tom(adult male).

Our hard work paid off,as we heard a gobble not toofar away, and minutes laterdecided that it was indeedheading our way down the

path out in the open.“This one’s coming in

hot,” Rick whispered.That’s when we sprung

into action, hiding in thewoods up against a treewhile waiting for things todevelop. About 10 minuteslater, some 150 yards away,we saw what appeared to bea big turkey coming righttowards us. As we contin-ued to call, it steadily ap-proached in plain sight. Iknew I was going to havemy first shot at a bird, andunfortunately, my nervesgot the better of me. Havingthe chance to watch theturkey come right towardsus, I found myself getting alittle shaky. When the timecame, and I was given thesignal to fire, I missed theTom, scaring him away inthe process.

I’ll admit I wasn’t toohappy about missing him. Idon’t think I said a word forthe next hour or two, in-stead having a pity party formyself as we wanderedaround the woods. No onewants to miss their firstshot, but after the initialdisappointment, I decidedthat I absolutely had to geta bird within the next dayor two.

As luck would have it,that’s exactly what hap-pened. On Day 3 of the hunt-ing season, we again ven-tured to our spot in Groton,getting into the woodswhile it was still dark justbefore 5 a.m. Once the hourcame around, we made ourfirst call to the birds in thearea, and not too long after,we heard our first gobble.At about 5:20, we saw twoturkeys in the distance,

both feeding and being heldup a bit. Slowly they cametowards us, an example ofhow important patience isin the hunting game. Wehad set up a pair of decoybirds just 10-15 yards or soin front of us in the open be-fore hiding in the woodsagain, and the two live birdseventually headed in our di-rection. With one leadingthe other, I waited untilabout the 15-yard mark be-fore Rick gave me the signaland I unloaded my shotguninto the lead bird. My shotwas a direct hit, stinginghim in the neck and bring-ing him down. While thetrail bird flew away imme-diately, I had my first-everturkey three days into hunt-ing season.

We tagged and checkedthe bird nearby, weighingin at an even 15 pounds. Af-ter a photo shoot of me withmy new prized possession,we headed back to theLakes Region to butcher theturkey. I put the meat in myfreezer, and took it home forMother’s Day weekend toMassachusetts. I figuredmy mom could put theturkey to good use.

As each hunter is al-lowed just one turkey forthe spring season, my tripwas over. While the ticks Icombated throughout theweekend weren’t my cup oftea, being out in the woodsand enjoying the chasemade for a memorable ex-perience. I’m already look-ing forward to new adven-tures during duck season,but for now, I plan on bask-ing in the glow of the firsttime I took part in the worldof hunting.

RICK FORGE

Here’s me with my brand new turkey, the first thing I’ve ever shot inmy hunting career.

BELMONT – There wasdefinitely a strong bond be-tween Belmont HighSchool baseball coach MattLeBlanc and his seniorclass this spring. The Classof 2013 came up throughthe ranks with LeBlancfrom his days in the middleschool, and the seven play-ers on his roster will cer-tainly be missed by thethird-year skipper.

“It’s always been differ-ent with this class,” saidLeBlanc. “We knew wewere coming down to ourlast few practices. The sec-ond to last one I pulled themtogether and had a heart toheart with them and toldthem how I felt about them.It’s just a great group ofkids, totally going to missthem. They didn’t lack thetalent, they certainly hadthe talent…the chips justdidn’t fall for us this year.”

Catcher Kaleb Brace wasa second team All-State se-lection this spring, and hemade some inroads as apitcher to give the Raiders

valuable innings on themound when they sorelyneeded it. Brace batted .353

on the year with a .515 onbase percentage. That in-cluded 18 hits, 14 RBI and 11

runs to go along with 11stolen bases. Brace won theteam’s Red Raider Awardfor the second time in threeyears.

“To be honest with you, Idon’t know what we’re go-ing to do,” said LeBlanc offilling Brace’s role as a four-year starter behind theplate. “If we can get some-one half as good as Kalebwe’ll be in good shape. Hewas a leader every step ofthe way for us and just apositive role model.”

Aaron McLelland was asolid contributor in leftfield for the Raiders, andhis ability to brighten themood in the clubhouse wasalso a big attribute.

“He was a great left field-er and even better kid,”said LeBlanc. “He was defi-nitely good at keepingthings light for us and heworked hard when the timecame.”

Bryan McLelland re-turned to the sport after ayear off, and his presencewas a nice boost to the ros-ter for Belmont.

“It was a pleasant sur-

prise to have him return tothe team after spending ayear away,” the coach said.“I wish we had had him lastyear but it was nice to havehim back. He’s versatile,could play numerous posi-tions. Wherever we put himin the lineup he produced.”

First baseman ColePadula had a breakout sea-son for the Raiders, as hebatted .378 with a .451 onbase percentage. Paduladrove in 13 runs and scored11, including a huge grandslam against Somersworth.

“Cole came a long way,”said LeBlanc. “He had hismost productive year and itwas awesome to see him hita grand slam at Somer-sworth. It’s always nicewhen a kid can put it all to-gether during his senioryear.”

Big inning propels Meredith past BristolPost 33 gets 10-4 win over Post 26 in Junior Legion action

BY JOSHUA SPAULDINGSPORTS EDITOR

MEREDITH — The newkids on the block had notrouble hanging tough inJunior Legion action onThursday, June 27.

Griggs Wyatt Post 33 outof Meredith used a hugefifth inning to rally pastMinot Cavis Post 26 out ofBristol at Prescott Park.

Bristol took an earlylead, but Meredith coachPaul Atwell was pleasedwith his team’s ability tohang tough.

“They did stick with it,”Atwell said. “They’ve seenit happen the other way andthey didn’t want that tohappen here tonight.”

“The wheels just fell offin one inning,” Bristolcoach Shaun Bean said.“We were struggling to findthe zone and had somepassed balls.”

Meredith actually got onthe board first, after pitch-er TJ Marchand workedaround a first-inning walkand stolen base by Bristol’sCraig LeBrun. In the bot-tom of the inning, Jesse Os-uchowski led off with abase hit and stole second.He moved to third on agrounder to second by Ea-mon Bean and came in toscore on a sacrifice fly toleft by Zach Atwell, givingthe hosts the 1-0 lead. Bris-tol starter Zach Desrochersgot a strikeout to get out ofthe inning and the batscame alive a bit in the top ofthe second.

Back-to-back walks toJoey Levesque and NickTapply got the inning start-ed for Bristol and SpencerMacDonald beat out a buntto load the bases. GarrettFleming bounced a ball infront of the plate andMeredith catcher Matt Har-rington pounced on it andtagged the plate for the firstout of the inning.

Anthony Talamini fol-lowed with a grounder tosecond to plate the tyingrun and Greg Hunt fol-lowed that up with a basehit to drive in a pair for the3-1 lead. Harrington wasable to gun down Hunt try-ing to move to second on thethrow home.

Desrochers issued a

walk to Peter Baker in thebottom of the second, butstruck out a pair and got outof the inning.

Bristol added anotherrun in the top of the third.With one out, Desrochersdoubled and came aroundto score on a pair of passedballs for a 4-1 lead. Levesqueworked a walk and Tapplyfollowed with a base hit, butthey were both strandedwhen Marchand induced agrounder to second to endthe inning. Bristol got anice defensive play fromFleming at first base to helpget his team through thethird. A two-out hit fromHunt in the top of thefourth was wasted whenMeredith third baseman

Atwell made a nice play ona grounder to end the in-ning.

Meredith was able to getone run back in the bottomof the fourth inning. Withone out, Harrington got abase hit and took second onan error. Walks to Marc-hand and Dylan Sheehanloaded the bases and a basehit from Baker drove inHarrington. Marchand wascut down at the plate on athrow from Talamini inright, to Fleming at first toTapply at the plate, who ap-plied the tag.

A walk to Griffin Flem-ing was Bristol’s lone baserunner in the top of thefifth and Meredith camealive in the bottom of the

inning.With one out, Osuchows-

ki walked, took second on apassed ball and scored on abase hit by Bean, cuttingthe lead to 4-3. A walk toAtwell and a base hit fromHarrington tied the gameand a base hit from Marc-hand loaded the bases. Bris-tol made the change on thehill, with LeBrun cominginto the game. A sacrificefly to left by Sheehan gaveMeredith the lead and Gar-rett Kearney reached on anerror to make it 6-4. A dou-ble steal brought home an-other run and Jeff Maddenworked a walk. Anotherdouble steal made it 8-4 be-fore Desrochers made anice catch in center to getBristol out of the inning.

Garrett Fleming dou-bled with one out in the topof the sixth and took thirdon a groundout by Talami-ni, but he was stranded ona grounder to third inwhich Sheehan made a niceplay coming off the bag atfirst to snag the throw andput the tag on.

Meredith added a pair ofinsurance runs in the bot-tom of the inning. With oneout, Bean walked andAtwell doubled. Harring-ton drove in a run with agrounder to first and a wildpitch made it 10-4. Marc-hand followed with a basehit, but LeBrun induced abouncer to short to get outof the inning.

Bristol started the top of

the seventh with a doubleby LeBrun and he stolethird one out later. One outafter that, Levesque was hitby a pitch and Tapplywalked, but Marchand gota strikeout to close out the10-4 win.

“We’ve had two gameswhere we gave up five orsix runs in an inning,”Atwell said. “We’ve hadthat inning go against us.”

Atwell also praised hishurler for a job well done.

“TJ pitched a greatgame,” Atwell said.

He also noted that theteam is coming together asa first-year program.

“The kids have prettymuch been building ourteam here,” Atwell said.“They’re making friendsand playing together.”

“It was mental errors,but there’s no excuse,”Bean said. “We haven’tplayed in a week, so I knowwe’ll turn it around.”

He noted that the onebad inning was just toomuch to get over.

“When they score morein one inning than we didin the whole game, that’s abad sign,” Bean stated.“Eighty percent of thetime, the other team’s go-ing to win.”

Meredith moved to 2-3on the season with the win.They will host Lebanon fora doubleheader withLebanon at 11 a.m. and 1:30p.m. on Saturday, July 6 andwill be at Lincoln on Tues-day, July 9, at 5:30 p.m.

Rumney, NH – Former historic inn, located in the center of Rumney Village, has space to spare and could be used in a myriad of ways. Formerly known as the Stinson Mountain Hotel, the over 5000 square foot home has 3 bedrooms and many gathering rooms in the main house. It also has a large apartment in the rear that has pleasing views of the property from its own deck. The barn is huge, had been used as a vintage book shop for many years and still holds lots of possibilities. There is also a little getaway cabin along Stinson Brook, with TV, water and electricity for those who enjoy the rustic life. The lot is almost 3 acres of lovely fields with great soils, fruit trees, berry bushes and the brook as one of the boundary lines. Rumney is a quiet village located in central NH, close to skiing, the university in Plymouth, and is now famous for its internationally recognized rock cliffs, that draw climbers from all over the world. Time to visit and re-think your future!

“Angelo ranked up therewith any outfielder in Divi-sion III,” LeBlanc lauded.“He had just about all of thetools that you want a base-ball player to have. He ledour team in most offensivecategories.”

PJ Stamas proved to be anice piece to the puzzle forBelmont, and he seemed to

get better as the season pro-gressed. Stamas hit .244with a .408 on base, sevenRBI, six runs and fivestolen bases.

“The biggest thing wasPJ gave us the opportunityto pitch Kaleb by playingcatcher,” LeBlanc said. “Byseason’s end he was play-ing as well as anyone on ourteam. He really bought intothe team concept and im-proved all year long.”

Austin Wilder playedseveral different spots forthe Raiders, settling most-ly in the middle infieldslots. The senior batted .273with a .423 on base percent-age and two runs scored.

“He had the best game of

ed every game for theteam, showing pop in hisbat with a home run. Fel-low junior Ryan Pluskisalso returns and will lookto improve consistency onthe mound as a top of therotation guy in 2014.Sophomore Joey Levesquesaw action as a freshmanand moved into the lineupregularly this season.Freshman Caleb Drouincame up from the JV teamlate in the year and provedhe has the demeanor to bea mound presence nextspring.

“We certainly havegoals with these guys,”LeBlanc said. “If you lookat our schedule this year,we only played two teamsthat didn’t make the play-offs (Franklin, ProspectMountain). We had atough schedule and Ithought we hung in therethe best that we could.This is a very good area forbaseball and I think thatwas proven this year.”

LeBlanc lauded assis-tant coach Sean Malonefor his work again thisspring, as he’s been on thebench for Belmont for twoseasons after coaching theJV squad in 2011.

“I said during thesports awards that Maloneis by far the most impor-tant individual in the pro-gram,” LeBlanc ex-plained. “Essentially he’sa volunteer and he’s sodedicated. Sean is very,very good at delivering themessage and he’s verygood with these guys. He’sjust very good at what hedoes and it’s nice as a headcoach to have someonelike that. The guys reallyrespect him.”
