Team Belmont gets ready to take the ‘Plunge’
BY DONNA RHODES
[email protected]
BELMONT — Freshman Devin Poslusny and
a hardy group of his fellow students at Belmont
High School are reaching out to the community to help Team Belmont
have a successful year
in the High School Penguin Plunge at Hampton
Beach next month in
support of Special Olympics New Hampshire.
“My dad works at
Prospect Mountain High
School, and he’s done
the plunge for four years
now. He and I talked
about it this year and he
asked if I was going to
join his team, but I told
him no way, I’m starting my own team,” said
Poslusny.
Beyond his father’s
interest in supporting
Special Olympics New
Hampshire, Devin himself has always tried to
reach out to others with
disabilities. Forming a
team for the High School
Penguin Plunge just
seemed to be the natural
thing to do now that he,
too, is eligible to participate.
“I’m the one who’s
been there if someone
with special needs in my
class needed help with
anything. I mean, why
not? We’re all in this
together. I felt this was
the least I could do- raise
money for Special Olympics,” said Poslusny.
Last week, Poslusny
began recruiting students at BHS who were
interested in taking part
in a chilly fundraiser
that benefits the heartwarming programs of
Special Olympics.
“Running into the
ocean in January isn’t
on everyone’s bucket list
of things they want to do,
but I got 10-12 people interested right away and
a lot of ‘maybes’,” said
Poslusny.
Many of those “maybes,” he said, came from
students who were afraid
they couldn’t raise the
entry fee of $175 that the

Belmont High School freshman Devin Poslusny is “thumbs
up” for Special Olympics, and this year, he has formed Team
Belmont, which looks to raise as much money as possible for
the organization through the Seventh Annual High School
Penguin Plunge on Jan. 31 at Hampton Beach.
plunge sponsors request.
That, he said, is where
fundraising comes in.
“They don’t have to
pay it themselves. They
just have to look for do-
nations,” said Poslusny.
And that is what he is
now helping his friends
and
classmates
do
through individual and
team web sites to raise
funds for the cause.
“People can go online
to First Giving and contribute to an individual
or they can donate to
the team, which we’ll
then divide up among
those who might need
more donations for the
plunge,” he said.
Helping organize the
team and supporting
them in their endeavor
are teachers from BHS,
and the entire effort for
this years team is headed up by Colton Briggs.
Besides teaching Special
Education, Briggs also
serves as the school’s
Unified Sports coach.
“It’s been great to
have his support as our
faculty advisor because
I think having a Unified
Sports program here
this year has helped to
generate more interest
in Special Olympics and
the Penguin Plunge,”
said Poslusny.
While the adult Penguin Plunge will take
place on Sunday, Feb. 1,
the high school students
will race into the ocean

­prepare for Lakes
Region Music Festival
BY DONNA RHODES
[email protected]
TILTON — Music lovers are advised to mark
their calendars for this
Saturday, Jan. 17, when
the Lakes Region Music
Festival, featuring talented musicians from 12
area high schools, comes
to Winnisquam Regional High School for the
very first time.
“The festival rotates
every year between all
the schools that belong.
This is our first time as
hosts, and it won’t be
back here again until
2027,” said WRMS music
director Kirk Young.
The annual event
is designed to give advanced young musicians
the opportunity to play
with a large group in a
situation that challenges
their skills and talents.
Two months before
the festival, those chosen by their high school
band and choral teachers are given music selected by the year’s guest
conductors that they
must learn and practice
individually.
“This Saturday morning, they’ll all finally
come together for five
or six hours to rehearse,
then they’ll eat and get
ready for their concert
at 4 p.m.,” explained
Young. “It’s a great
day where they make
new friendships and
establish some strong
and lasting bonds with
students from other
schools.”
Participating in the
festival will be 20 vocalists and six band members from WRHS along
with more than 200 other
students from Laconia,
Franklin, Inter-Lakes,
Moultonborough, Kingswood, Newfound, Plymouth, Prospect Mountain, Merrimack Valley,
Kennett, and Mascoma
Valley high schools.
The Concert Choir
will be led this year by
guest conductor Dr.
Madelyn
Gearheart.
During seven years she
spent in Italy, Gearheart
performed in notable
musical venues such as
the Venice Opera, Teatro La Fenice and the
Verona Opera, while
back in New Hampshire
she founded the New
Hampshire Youth Chorus the New Hampshire
Choral Society among
many other worthy accomplishments.
Charles Blood of
Plymouth State University and the Manchester
Choral Society will be
accompany the chorus
on piano.
Conducting the Jazz
Ensemble for the 201415 Festival will be David
Wilson. Wilson, who
currently teaches music
at Mascoma Valley Regional High School, is a
graduate of the Berklee
College of Music in Boston and earned his masters degree from the
University of Connecticut. He taught music on
Martha’s Vineyard for
20 years before moving
to New Hampshire and
was named a 2005 finalist for New Hampshire
Teacher of the Year. Besides teaching, Wilson
has also performed with
several jazz and rock
groups in his own musical career.
Finally, this year’s
Concert
Band
Conductor will be Carolyn
Whinnem who has been
teaching and conducting
music since 1970. Under
her guidance and leadership her high school
bands and orchestras
have won numerous
awards and gold medals
over the years at competitions in Toronto,
Disney World and at the

Sanbornton native’s new video helps
viewers stay active through yoga
BY DONNA RHODES

SANBORNTON
—
Sanbornton native Jennifer Lake has found a
healthy and relaxing
way to make a living,
and she is now sharing
the benefits of her fitness regime with others
through a convenient
home instructional video, “Active Chair Yoga.”
“I developed chair
yoga at a fitness center
on the seacoast, where
not only did I see the
demand, but I also saw
how powerfully it affected seniors and those new
to yoga,” said Lake, who
now resides in Dover.
The daughter of Warren and Catherine Lake
of Sanbornton, she attended school at Sant
Bani School and had
an early background in
dance. From there, she
moved on to yoga as a
means of gaining a deeper, more spiritual connection within. Lake has
been practicing yoga for
more than 10 years now,
and teaching it as a cer-
tified instructor for five
years.
She said came up with
the idea for the video
when she noticed lower
attendance in classes
when weather, particularly in the winter, kept
her clientele at home.
A video, she realized,
would not only provide
those students with a
supplemental resource
for her classes, but could
reach out to others as
well.
“It took a while, but it
all finally came together,
and it’s been a real success,” Lake said.
Many people initially feel intimidated by
yoga, she has observed,
but it really is a form of
exercise that anyone can
participate in once they
learn to connect with
their breathing.
In a world where life
is moving along at an ever-increasing pace, yoga
is something she finds
to be “stillness in the
face of challenges” that
people can use to relax

WINNISQUAM ECHO
January 15, 2015
Two snowmobiles go
through the ice on
Lake Winnisquam
LACONIA — On Sunday, Jan. 11, members of
the Laconia Fire and Rescue Department, as well
as New Hampshire Fish
and Game Conservation
Officers, responded to
a 911 call for assistance
after two snowmobiles
went through the ice on
Lake Winnisquam in Laconia. At approximately 7:15
p.m., Andrew Grant, age
25, of Belmont, and his
friend Terry Threlfall,
age 22, of Lochmere,
were snowmobiling on
Lake Winnisquam. They
intended to ride from
their bobhouse at Ahern
State Park to the Belmont Town Beach. Riding the lead snowmobile,
Grant was traveling on
snow-covered ice when
he noticed that the ice
was black. He knew
that he was traveling on
new ice that was thin,
and decided to turn
around. When he slowed
down, his snowmobile
suddenly went through
the ice, leaving him
stranded in open water.
He attempted to get on
top of the ice, however it
was too thin to support
his weight. He eventually ended up in an open
channel and was able
to get his helmet off and
held it at chest level, using it to stay afloat.
Threlfall was following behind Grant and
saw his friend’s snowmobile disappear from
sight. He slowed down
to determine what had
happened, and his snowmobile went through the
ice as well. Threlfall was
able to get back onto the
ice, and he walked to the
nearest occupied home
on Shore Drive in Laconia. 911 was notified of
the incident. Threlfall
then returned to Grant’s
location with a Personal
Floatation Device and
rope, but was unable
to assist because Grant
was now approximately
200 feet out in an open
channel. Laconia Fire and Rescue members responded
within minutes to the
scene on Shore Drive.
They could hear people
yelling for help out on
the ice. Four ice rescue
technicians
traveled
out on the ice and initially found Threlfall,
sending him back to
the residence on Shore
Drive. They had difficulty locating Grant, due to
the darkness and the fact
that only his head was
exposed above the open
water. The ice rescue
technicians, after falling through the ice several times themselves,
eventually entered the
channel and located Andrew. They had to swim
approximately 200 feet
in open water, in blackout conditions, before
locating Grant, a truly
heroic effort.
Grant was eventually
pulled out of the water
and loaded onto a rescue
sled and carried back to
shore to a waiting ambulance that transported him to Lakes Region
General Hospital in Laconia. Threlfall was also
treated at Lakes Region
General Hospital, and
was released later that
evening. Grant was kept
in the hospital overnight
for
observation. Both
men were treated for hypothermia.
The distance from the
shoreline to the open
channel was 1,400 feet (a
quarter mile). Grant was
in the water for an estimated 50 minutes prior
to his rescue.
“These young men
were very lucky,” said
Sgt. Bradley Morse of
the New Hampshire Fish
and Game Department.
“The outcome could
have been a lot worse if
it weren’t for the quick
response on the part of
the Laconia Fire and
Rescue team.” The New Hampshire
Fish and Game Department would like to remind the public that ice
conditions in the state
are variable. Always use
extreme caution when
out on the ice. The ice
thickness
recommendations from the Cold
Regions Research Laboratory in Hanover, N.H.,
are four to six inches of
solid bluish-black ice
for supporting a few
well-dispersed
people,
and eight to 10 inches of
bluish-lack ice to support Off-Highway Recreational Vehicles.

Caring for Parkinson’s: caregiver tips
for an easier today and tomorrow
BY JENNIFER HARVEY RN BSN
CDP
Clinical Director
Live Free Home Health Care
A person with Parkinson’s disease may visit
the doctor for half an
hour, four times a year.
But what about the care
required for the other
8,734 hours each year?
Live Free Home Health
Care knows that caring
for someone with Parkinson’s disease can be
challenging at any stage
of the disease. However, armed with a little
information about the
disease, caregivers can
maximize their loved
ones’
independence,
safety and daily activities.
Parkinson’s disease is
a neurological disorder
affecting the nervous
system, which limits
some muscle control
abilities. It is caused by
a slow, gradual loss of
cells in the brain that
produce dopamine, a
chemical necessary for
muscles to work normally. Although there
is currently no cure for
the disease, there are
ways to make life more
comfortable for those affected.
Maintain a
healthy diet
“A well balanced diet
can help to reduce cell
loss in a person with
Parkinson’s,” said Jennifer Harvey, RN BSN
CDP, owner of Live Free
Home Health Care. “Antioxidants can also help
to fight oxidative stress.”
Sources of antioxidants include blueberries, broccoli, spinach,
green tea, dark chocolate, dried fruits and
beans, avocado, asparagus, walnuts and almonds, and grape juice
or red wine.
Prepare for
swallowing
difficulties
Persons with Parkinson’s often experience
difficulties
chewing,
moving food from one
part of the mouth to another, and then swallowing properly to ensure
food doesn’t enter the
lungs. Caregivers should
learn from a physician
or first aid class how to
perform the Heimlich
maneuver in case of
choking.
Fight constipation
Parkinson's and its
medications
combine
to make constipation a
problem. Make sure that
the care recipient is consuming plenty of liquids.
Some high-fiber foods
may cause intestinal gas
and cramping that are
not tolerated by an older
person with Parkinson's.
To counter this, nutritionists
recommend
dried fruits, hot prune
juice, canned fruits and
soft cooked vegetables.
Prevent falls
Persons with Parkinson’s have a difficult
time working the various muscles in their
arms and legs to stop
themselves from falling
when thrown off-balance. Modify the home
environment to help
prevent a fall. Customize seating, toilets, bathtubs, and showers by installing grab bars where
appropriate.
Remove
tables with pointed edges that could cause injury if a stumble occurs.
Also be sure to remove
obstructions and hazards in the home such as
throw rugs.
Combat anxiety and
depression
People with Parkinson’s disease often battle
depression and anxiety,
which can affect shortterm memory and concentration and increase
a person’s motor deficits
and physical disabilities. However, depression and anxiety disorders are treatable, so it
is important to watch for
signs of depression or
anxiety and have them
properly diagnosed and
treated.
Understand
medications
Ask the physician
about expected side effects of medications so
there are no medication-related surprises,
such as medications
causing hallucinations

PET OF THE WEEK
PUMPKIN
He’s a portly Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua
mix who hails from Texas. Pumpkin has some
serious mileage behind him, in pursuit of a loving forever home.
Small and companionable he looks terribly
dashing in his winter coat when taking short
walks outside with staff and volunteers.
A little reserved when first meeting, Pumpkin quickly warms up to people since you really
can’t look at him without smiling and reverting
to baby talk, he’s that darn cute and adorable.
We think he’s about six years old, of course
small breed dogs tend to have longer life spans,
so he is really only the equivalent of a 40 something person! He gets along just fine with cats.
Probably because of his small stature, he is fine
with some dogs he meets. We don’t think he’s
had any experiences with small children, so a
home with holder humans would be preferable.
To meet Pumpkin, visit us on Meredith Center
Named perhaps for a season earlier in the
year, Pumpkin does have some autumnal mark- Road, Laconia, call 524-3252 or check www.nhhumane.org

NORTH COUNTRY NOTEBOOK
Whether freeze or snow, you’ve gotta love the weather
By John Harrigan
Columnist
Snow—I’ve written
about it thence, have
written about it since,
and hope to write about
it hence. To me it is
about the stuff of life, albeit it seasonally.
In the media, snow
all is about doom and
gloom. It is all about “the
commute.”
“The commute” to me
is three and a half miles
to downtown. It is the
equivalent, in California
terms, of “Lion Country
Safari,” without the fare.
Wait, without “The fanfare,” or the fare, as in
“the fee.” I’m never sure
what I’m going to see —
moose, bears, deer.
This is not about being smug. We do not all
get to live this way. But
who would?
This morning it was
30 below. This is not
what the weather people
on television refer to as
“wind chill.” This is as
in “mean temperature,”
as in “the real deal,” as
in “thirty below.” The
wind chill term has never been in the local vernacular.
As for snow, it has
never been, to me, a
threat. We used to go out
and play in it, and I try to
do that still. I think of it
as a blanket for the land.
Well, what the Hey, what’s with a little snow and cold?
I do not intend it to be a
blanket for me soon. Do
not go gently into that
good night (Dylan Thomas).
The snow lets the
land sleep. This part of
the planet needs sleep.
It gets warm for about
a third of its time in the
sun and then cools down
for the next third and
wakes up just in time to
get slightly warmed up
during the next. This
is why so many people
with the wherewithal go
to Florida, and why so
many with or without
decide to stick it out, out
of stubbornness or love.
To which I get mail
that says “Better you
than me.”

Solomon Kee returns to Interlakes Summer Theatre in February
with his show "Mister Davis-A Night With Sammy.” For tickets,
visit interlakstheatre.com or 707-6035.
"Kee is astonishingly
like Sammy Davis, Jr.
in both song styling and
body language,” says
Interlakes Theatre producer, Nancy Barry.
“The show isn’t about
imitation. I’m just being
Solomon on stage,” says
Kee, who plays Sammy.
“I sing his songs and add
a few Sammy Davisisms
here and there. I don’t
believe anyone can impersonate him. He was
one of a kind. I just wanna make the world taste
good like he did.”
Solomon Kee performed his one-man
show here in October
2013, and since has continued the development
with help from New
York City producers and
directors. He returns
with his Musical Director, Joshua StecherRoss
and Interlakes favorites
David LeBlanc (“Dave,
the drummer”) and
bassist Dr. Anthony
Varga.
“Everywhere I go in
town, folks have asked
me to bring him back,
so on my recent trip to
NYC, Solomon & I sat
down together and made
a plan!” says Barry.

n
National headlining comedian to appear at Pitman’s
LACONIA — National comedy headliner
Robbie Printz, who is
a regular in Las Vegas
and has been seen on
Conan O'Brian, Comedy
Central, HBO and more,
will be appearing at Pitman's Freight Room in
Laconia, Saturday, Jan.
17 in show starting at 8
pm. Tickets are $15, and
Pitman's (94 New Salem
St.) is a BYOB venue.
Printz is one of the regions most sought after
comedians having per-
formed at the top clubs
around the country as
well as being a favorite
for corporate events.
Printz is a past winner of
the Boston Comedy Festival, and was named the
Improper
Bostonian's
Best Comedian. Along
with Comedy Central,
Printz has appeared on
NBC, MTV, and A&E’s
“Evening at the Improv.”
"Robbie Printz is one
of the best in the business," commented Mi-
chael Smith of Laugh
Riot Productions, which
books the comedy shows
and comedy fundraisers at Pitman's. "There
is a reason why Robbie
works cruise ships, is
a regular in Las Vegas,
and has television credits.
"In the ten or 12 years
we have been booking
shows, Robbie is one of
a handful of comedians
who in "on" every night
he hits the stage. He
was here (Pitman's) in
the summer of 2013 and
we wanted to bring him
back at a time of year
(winter) when we knew
there would be a great
turn out.
"We have been at Pitman's a little more than
two years and have had
crowd that topped 200
some five times now.
This could be another."
Joining Printz will
be Ken Richard and Joe
Espi a pair of New England comedians who
themselves have fine re-
sumes.
Espi has shared the
stage with some of the
best in the business and
has appeared at prestigious clubs such as the
Comedy
Connections,
Kowloon, Giggles, the
Tupelo Music Hall, Comix and more.
Richard has worked
with the likes of Gilbert
Godfried, Tom Cotter,
and has moved from
opening act to closing a
number of rooms in the
region.
With this lineup,
Pitman's owner Dick
Mitchell is preparing for
a large turnout.
"The last time Robbie
Printz was here it was
the middle of summer
and it was a fair sized
crowd," said Mitchell.
"This time we are expecting a much larger group
with people being home
and not on vacation.
"The fan base keeps
growing and we're going
to keep giving people the
best shows we can."
Playhouse Education Department Says “Go, Go, Go!” to “Joseph”
MEREDITH — Take
21 local children and
teens, add in an upbeat pop musical score,
throw in some colorful
costumes, clever choreography, great singing,
and a favorite Bible story and you get “Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat,”
the first production of
the year presented by
The
Winnipesaukee
Playhouse Education
Department.
Performances are Friday, Jan.
16 and Saturday, Jan. 17
at 7:30 p.m., with matinees at 2 p.m. on Jan. 17

One of the most enduring shows of all
time, “Joseph and the
Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat” is an irresistible family musical.
The first full-length
musical by legendary
theatrical team Andrew Lloyd Webber and
Tim Rice, “Joseph” is
a retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, his
devoted father, his jealous brothers, and his
incredible series of adventures.
Filled with youthful
energy, Joseph combines a wide variety of
musical styles - everything from country to
calypso to rock 'n' roll
- in a series of memorable musical numbers. Described as a
high-voltage
extravaganza, “Joseph” premiered on Broadway
for Little Big Town, favoring multi-layered effects,
drawing from a mix of
influences including vintage ‘50’s country, ‘70’s
country, funk, groove, a
cappella, bluegrass and
straight up rock ‘n roll.
Little Big Town’s relationship and maturity
earned over 15 years of
working together astounds its fans and critics
alike with amazing harmonies. The Pain Killer
Tour, featuring Top 10
single “Day Drinking”
and fan-favorite “Girl
Crush” will be just what
the doctor ordered when
they rock the ‘Brook Labor Day weekend!
Joining Little Big
Town for this exciting
night of country music,
David Nail brings his
flawless vocal chops back
to the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion at Meadowbrook. Sure to be belting out hits from his I’m
a Fire album (recently
named by Billboard as the
#4 Best Country Album
of 2014), Nail continues
steamrolling country fans
with his distinct and powerful vocals, establishing himself as one of the
bright lights of contemporary country music. Be swept away Saturday, September 5th with

Comedian Bucky Lewis brings special show to the Margate
If you’re an investor, you
probably had a pretty good
year in 2014. But what’s in
store for 2015?
It’s essentially impossible to make precise predictions about the performance
of the financial markets —
but it is possible to identify
those economic conditions
and market forces that may
help shape outcomes in the
investment world for 2015.
By paying close attention to
these conditions and forces,
you can gain some valuable
insights as to what investment moves might make
sense for you.
Here are a few of these
moves:
• Consider adding stocks.
With stock prices having
climbed higher and higher
for more than five years,
you might be wondering if
it’s time to scale back on
your ownership of equities. After all, no “bull”
market lasts forever.
Still, some factors point
to continued strength for
stocks over the long term.
First, we are seeing signs
of improving economic
growth; employment gains
and low oil prices are giving consumers more confidence, leading to a boost
in spending. Second, corporate earnings — a key
driver of stock prices —
were quite strong in the
second half of 2014, and
companies appear poised
to show more good results
in 2015. Third, stocks —
at least large-company
stocks — are still reasonably valued, as measured
by their price-to-earnings
ratios (P/E). Given these
factors, you might want to
think about adding quality
stocks to your holdings —
assuming, of course, these
stocks can help meet your
needs for a balanced portfolio. And be aware that
even the most favorable
conditions can’t assure a
continued run-up in stock
prices, which can and will
fluctuate.
• Prepare for rising interest
rates. For several years,
interest rates have been
at, or near, historical
lows. Given the strengthening economy, and the
decreased need for stimulus, the Federal Reserve
may well raise short-term
interest rates in 2015,
perhaps as early as this
summer. But long-term
rates may start rising even
before then, so you may
want to take a close look
at your bonds and other
fixed-rate investments.
As you probably know,
when interest rates rise,
the value of existing bonds
typically falls because
investors won’t pay full
price for your bonds when
they can get newly issued
ones that pay higher rates.
One way to combat the
effects of rising rates is to
build a “ladder” consisting of short-, intermediate- and long-term bonds.
With such a ladder, you’ll
be able to redeem your
maturing short-term bonds
and reinvest them in the
new, higher-paying bonds.
• Look for investment
opportunities
abroad.
Although
economic
growth has been slow in
parts of the world, especially China, many countries have now initiated
policies to spur economic
growth. These actions can
create opportunities for
international equity investments. Keep in mind,
though, that international
investing involves particular risks, such as currency
fluctuations and political
and economic instability.
So if you are considering
foreign investments, you
may want to consult with
a financial professional.

Machine Technology Program students in LRCC’s classroom and lab areas. Also pictured are
Huot Tech students, Hunter Kenney (Belmont-left), and David Carkin (Gilford-center). Twelve
Huot Tech Center students visited and toured LRCC’s state-of-the-art A.M. Program areas
on Prescott Hill. The students learned about avenues of potential growth after high school
to continue developing themselves in the manufacturing field. “LRCC's A.M. Program was of
most interest to those high school seniors in the group who are considering future college level
programs as they continue to complete their machine studies within Huot's four-year program,”
says Brough. “Sophomores and juniors were there to seek answers to questions that would
help them in deciding whether a manufacturing career is right for them. Current LRCC A.M.
students receive hands-on training in the classroom and lab areas and are able to demonstrate
the technical skills that they will put to gainful use once hired or promoted.” “Huot Technical
students were enlightened and excited about the post-secondary programs offered at LRCC,”
says Huot Tech Center Manufacturing Engineering Technology & Pre-Engineering Instructor,
Ken Martin (Northwood-not shown). “Many of the students never realized this school was right
in their back yard. Seeing is believing and many students expressed that they will now consider
LRCC programs as a viable post-secondary option.” AMPed NH is sponsored by a $19.97 million

investment in my future education as I pursue my higher business degree. Being a non-traditional student, I am also thankful to
have my children and husband supporting me, not only that evening, but throughout my pursuit of further education.” Follansbee,
President of LRCC’s Phi Beta Lambda chapter, is graduating from LRCC with a double major in Business Management and
Accounting and presently holds an impressive 3.96 grade point average. Her intention is to continue for the Bachelor’s degree
in Human Resource Management at Plymouth State University. The LRTA Mildred A. Beach Scholarship was awarded to LRCC

Belmont High School’s School-to-Career
program launches Career Power Hour
BELMONT — “Why
didn’t they have this
when I was in high
school?” was a comment
made during Belmont
High School’s first Career Power Hour activity for students by
Co-Founder of Skymap
Games, Neal Laurenza,
who is a Video Game
Developer and Business
Entrepreneur.
Power Hour at Belmont High School is a
daily opportunity of 60
minutes for students
to work with teachers
during the middle of
the day. Most will use
about 20 minutes to grab
a quick lunch and then
spend the rest of the time
making up missed classroom assignments, getting tutoring assistance,
visiting with friends,
taking a break to decompress, or attend club or
sports meetings. Now
BHS has a career component to Power Hour!
The BHS School-to-Career Coordinator, Amy
Burke, has created an
opportunity where students can explore future
career options during

this one hour with various guest speakers,
highlighting two different career clusters each
month. The goal is to
target all 16 clusters each
year with the hope of incorporating more than
60 different professions
during a student’s four
year high school career.
On top of having an introduction to numerous
careers, another goal of
Career Power Hour is to
provide a safe, intimate
place in guidance for students to ask their questions about the field,
before signing up for a
job shadow, internship
or more importantly - selecting a college major.
“It’s just another way
to help students make
that important decision
of what they are going
to do with their lives
after high school”, says
Burke.
Laurenza reached 16
students on the day he
visited BHS and was able
to help boost numbers in
the various STEM related classes (Physics, Programming, and all Math)
for second semester
based on his suggestions
on what they can do now
to become better Game
Designers and future
college students. If you
would like to participate
in one of the upcoming
Career Power Hour discussions, please contact
Amy Burke at aburke@
sau80.org.
Burke noted that,
“Students are eager to
learn about what it takes
to be successful in the
real world and this one
hour allows students
the chance to ask away
in person to get real-life
answers!”

Technology Adjunct Professor, Eric Hagman (Dover-not pictured), welcomed LRCC alumnus, Mitch Cady (Manchester-not
pictured), from MFD who explained how fire investigators
work as a team with accelerant detection canines in the field
like “Wynett.” Cady and “Wynett” are one of only three
accelerated detection teams in New Hampshire due to the
fact that it costs $75,000 or more to train a dog and handler
to work together. “The accelerant detection canine team’s
presentation is yet another example of how LRCC brings
real-life fire professionals into classrooms and laboratories
to give students the highest caliber instruction possible,” says
LRCC Admissions Recruiter, Jessica Dade (Gilmanton IW- not

industry specialists and LRCC alumni.” Class member, Jake
Poulin (pictured above), was just hired full-time by Belmont
Fire Department as a firefighter. He will be graduating
from LRCC’s nationally renowned Fire Technology Program
in May 2015. For additional information about LRCC’s Fire

LRCC’s GM-ASEP Program by Crest Chevrolet in North

required criteria was produced and filmed by LRCC’s
Media Arts and Technology students. “Recognition such
as the Tomorrow’s Technician Award comes as a result
of very dedicated educators behind the scenes,” says
LRCC Academic Affairs Vice President, Tom Goulette

be proud of the national recognition and work done on
behalf of the students; great job!”

affects of her disease and
she can now stand unassisted, something she
couldn’t do at the start.
“She can also walk a
little bit now, and her
goal is to be able to eventually walk greater distances without her cane
or walker,” Lake said.
Her yoga techniques
have even helped people
recover from physical
injuries quicker than
they might otherwise
have done.
“I had another person
who came to me after a
car accident and, with
some modified practice, they were able to
rehabilitate themselves
through yoga. Yoga definitely made a significant
difference in their recovery,” she said.
Lake’s DVD is available for sale online,

Minding your Business
Mark on the Markets
name is “Lifelong Financial Planning.”
Next week, I will address where we are in
the markets and economy today and where I
believe we are heading.
This is more difficult
now than it was preBY MARK PATTERSON
Hello, Salmon Press
readers — my name is
Mark Patterson, and
this is my first writing
of a new column for the
paper titled “Mark on
the markets.” From 2006
through 2011, this was a
regular column that I enjoyed writing for a paper
up north. The column is
about the U.S. and Global stock, bond, currency
and commodity markets
viewed with a macroeconomic perspective. I will
also write about ways of
protecting and adding
some extra yield to your
investment
portfolio.
We will discuss annuities, insurance product
and whatever you want.
New Hampshire is
rich with quality Investment advisors, financial
advisors and brokers
that come from varied
backgrounds and experience. We are like snowflakes; no two are alike.
I began this business as
a broker with a firm in
Providence, R.I. in 1995
called Tucker Anthony.
Tucker was a brokerage
with many “old school”
brokers who bought and
sold stocks and bonds
for commission. Fee or
Wrap accounts were not
that popular, especially at Tucker. That was
a great learning experience for me at a time
when other brokerage
houses were focused
on hiring salespeople
to gather assets to be
placed with money managers. After a year and a
half at Tucker, I was approached by a firm who
offered me a chance to
set up an equity trading
desk in midtown Manhattan for a bond trading firm that wanted to
offer their institutional
clients equities (stocks).
One of the principals of
the firm owned a seat
on the New York stock
exchange. During this
period of time, I was also
teaching
Investment
Management at the Gabelli School of business,
Roger Williams University. Because of my
connection to the midtown firm, I was able to
take my class on a field
trip to lower Manhattan
and onto the floor of the
NYSE while in session.
That was pre 9/11 but I
hear that the trip is still
talked about at the University today.
I have always been
fond of the commodity
markets and from an
economic perspective,
they can teach you a lot
about what is going on
in the world. For the
last 14 years, I have been
trading and advising clients in the commodities
markets. Simultaneously I direct MHP Asset
Management LLC, a
registered investment
advisory that I began
in 2006 and is my current business. MHP is
primarily
investment
management, insurance
consulting and retirement planning. My trade
quantitative easing. You
see, before QE the yield
curve for the bond markets was a good indicator that the variance between short term rates
and long term rates
could tell us a lot about
the business cycle, eco-
nomic expansion and
recession. However, QE
is when the Federal Reserve purchases bonds
adding liquidity to the
market and keeping
bond prices high and
yields low not allowing
the bond auctions to tell
us the real story of supply and demand. Yes,
you can thank the Fed
for those low CD and
Treasury rates that so
many used to rely on for
income.
If you would like to
contact me I would wel-
come your input or questions.

during Saturday’s jamboree.
JOSHUA SPAULDING
Rivalries got put aside on Saturday, as the Gilford Golden Eagle got a big hug from a Belmont
Red Raider.
A unified good time
Unified hoop jamboree brings athletes together in Belmont
BY JOSHUA SPAULDING
Sports Editor
BELMONT — Smiles
were everywhere. Loud
rounds of applause roared
through the Belmont
High School gym.
It wasn’t your typical
preseason jamboree on
the court on Saturday,
Jan. 10, but rather the
first-ever Lakes Region
Unified Basketball Jamboree, the brainchild of
Belmont senior Cassie
Contigiani.
Back in her freshman
year of high school, Contigiani went to the Division
III girls’ soccer finals and
after the game the unified tournament took to
the field. She was blown
away at what she saw and
knew immediately this
was something that she
wanted for Belmont.
Now, in her senior
year, Belmont is fielding
unified teams in basketball and volleyball. Contigiani was hoping to get a
soccer team together, but
it didn’t quite work out.
But that hasn’t stopped
her from supporting the
unified team this winter.
“I’ve always done jamborees and tournaments,”
Contigiani said. “I just
wanted to get the kids
out here to enjoy an experience that I sometimes
take for granted.”
Contigiani grew up
with Laura Davies, who
plays on the Belmont unified team. In fact, the two
seniors are best friends.
Davies also serves as the
manager for the Belmont
girls’ hoop team.
“Laura comes to everything, she just never got
to play,” Contigiani said.
So now, the Lakes Re-
gion Unified Basketball
Jamboree will support
Davies and her senior
project, which will be a
Winni Dip, taking place
in March.
“We’re building off one
another,” Contigiani said.
The schedule was ambitious, as Contigiani
booked
the
Belmont
gym for more than five
hours of basketball fun
involving five teams
from around the lake. In
addition to the host Belmont Red Raiders, teams
from Laconia, Gilford,
Winnisquam and Moultonborough-Inter-Lakes
descended on Belmont
High School. Gilford and
Winnisquam
showed
up with mascots in costume. Fans poured into
the stands and players
got the chance to watch
their counterparts on other teams do battle on the
floor. Each team got four
games throughout the
day. Referees Steve Eckhoff and Jim Chase kept
the action going on the
floor throughout the day
and fans got the chance
to win prizes with the
chuck-a-bag contest and
other raffles.
Contigiani noted that
the support from the
community was amazing, with local businesses
stepping up to help out in
big ways.
“Everybody that has
helped has really made
this possible,” she said.
She also went on to
thank Greta Wilder, Dave
Pinkham, Toby Davies
and Athletic Director Erica Knoloff for their assistance in helping to make
things work.
And she noted that the
unified kids helped out
throughout the process as
well.
Local businesses and
residents that helped support the event with donations included Franconia
Ski Shop, Sottak Orthopedic Surgical, Piche’s Print
Shop, Laconia Police,
Contigiani’s
Catering
Service, Gilford Cinema
8, Family Support Center,
Mix 94.1, Lakes Region
Community
Services,
Dips, Brookside Pizza,
Florence Atherton, the
Gagnon family, Meadowbrook, Pirate’s Cove, Coca-Cola, Zimmer NE and
Jon Pike Auto.
Pinkham, who in addition to his duties as Athletic Director at Gilford
High School, also serves
as one of the Gilford unified coaches, had nothing
but praise for the jamboree as his team took a
break between games.
“This is unbelievable,”
he said. “Many compli-
ments to Cassie for putting this together, this is a
lot of work.
“She’s done a tremendous job,” he added.
Pinkham noted that
the unified sports program has really provided
a positive spark in many
schools throughout the
state since it first came
into existence and he sees
that first hand.

school’s culture or see the
culture change, start a
unified sports program,”
he said. “In my 38 years
of teaching, 20 as athletic director, it is probably
one of the most rewarding
things I’ve done.”
Gilford has had unified
sports since its inception
and Pinkham was excited
to bring his team to Belmont and experience the
atmosphere.
“It’s given us an opportunity to get a little more
practice in and an opportunity to showcase our
kids,” Pinkham said. “It’s
not winning and losing,
it’s making sure the kids
have a good time.”
Inter-Lakes
Athletic Director Jeff Cloos
also serves as one of
the coaches of the Inter-Lakes-Moultonborough team. This marks
the second year of the program in his school.
“Driving in, we saw
the flyers out in town,”
Cloos said. “It’s a cool
event and to be done by a
student, this is incredible.
“It’s an awesome experience for our kids,” he
added. “They’re just loving it.”
He noted that his kids
were all excited about
the jamboree t-shirts that
each player received for
their participation, noting that they were already
talking about them.
“The kids are already
excited about wearing
their t-shirts to school on
Monday,” Cloos said.
He said it was a thrill
to see the kids out on the
court in front of a packed
house just having a ball
and enjoying themselves.
And for the coaches, it
was just as much fun. And
more.
“For us, it’s so much
fun,” he said of the unified coaching experience.
“And it’s very, very rewarding.”
As the games rolled
along, the Gilford Golden
Eagle and the Winnisquam Bear put aside their
differences and slapped
hands with kids on all
the benches and posed for
photos. The players put on
impromptu dance shows
between games to rousing
applause from the audience. The fans smiled and
cheered with every hoop,
though Belmont’s Nathan
Hardy may have brought
the house down when he
drained a three-pointer
in his team’s game with
ILMA.
The scoreboards were
running, but there’s very
few people that will remember what the scores
were.
But it’s a safe bet that
everyone who was at Belmont High School on Saturday won’t forget some
of the awesome memories
made.
“It’s about seeing the
smiles on the kids’ faces,”
Contigiani said.
And as anyone in attendance can attest, there
were plenty of those to go
around.

Warren, NH – Step back into the past, in this charming
historic home. Next door to the former Morse Museum,
this was the Morse families New Hampshire residence. It
is filled with unique details like the river rock fireplace,
coffered ceiling and curved door casings, original
cabinets and countertop in the kitchen, claw foot tub,
many built in cabinets for storage, front and back
staircases, fireplace in the master bedroom, to name just
a few! There’s a huge barn with upstairs storage, a wide
and gracious porch runs along two sides of the house,
and a slate patio is located off the dining room’s Dutch
French doors. The park-like, rear lawn stretches back
to give access to the snowmobile trails and is dotted
with perennials and flowering shrubs. This property
has many potential uses besides being a great family
residence, think B & B, hostel, antique shop. It will shine,
when filled with people enjoying all that it has to offer!
