Outstanding In His Field
Forgive me, if you will, if I think of Stevens
High School senior Parker Smith as a farmer.
You know, that guy who is out standing in his
field.
Or maybe a gazelle, or deer. You know, that
elegant stride they take when being pursued
or, if you will again, just out standing in the
field making you look their way.
The sign of being a great athlete is having
the opposing side whip up a double-team
strategy against you on the football field or
having you get your 20 points in a basketball
game in a move to shut down everyone else.
Parker Smith epitomizes those strategies.
Time and time again everyone at a Stevens
High football game this past season had a
pretty good idea the ball was going to Smith's
way and, double-teamed or not, those hands
of his would come down with the ball.
Outstanding he is. The very likable and
humble 18-year-old, as witnessed in an interview at the school shortly following his taking
of final exams, exhibited press-worthy numbers as a valued member of the New Hampshire Division III state champion football Cardinals. Smith was named to the division's AllState First Team as a wide receiver after put-

continued, “losing every single game and then,
once we got into the sixth grade and started
playing others our own age, we killed everyone. That's when we became motivated.”
Instead of staying at home playing video
games or sitting on the couch watching television, Smith was always outside playing sports,
along with his neighbor, Nick LaCaillade, and
the O'Brien brothers, Zach and Nick, all seniors. “We played sports every single day, arguing and fighting with each other, because we
all wanted to win,” Smith pointed out. “We all
had each other's backs and it showed. We
went through a lot of adversity but overcame
that quickly and became brothers and champions.”
But life wasn't always smooth sailing for the
now 6'3”-195 pound wide receiver. “It was
probably a natural talent I have,” Smith stated,
“because growing up I was short and fat. But I
always had big hands. I wanted to play wide
receiver but couldn't. I was always a lineman. I
always wanted to run away from people. I
didn't want to get snapped in two. This summer I am going to work on being a complete
wide receiver, not just an athlete. I have to get
bigger. I want to be a better blocker. There is
more to being a receiver than just running
around to get open.”
Smith reported he had two role models growing up. Paul Pierce, former Boston Celtics forward, and Randy Moss, former New England
Patriots wide receiver, were his two idols.
“That's where I get my emotion from,” Smith
opined. “Pierce played with a lot of heart!”
Moss, who is widely considered to be among
the greatest wide receivers of all time, was
“like a god” to Smith.
Stevens head football coach Paul Silva, too,
had a tremendous impact on Smith's career.
”Coach Silva has really been there for me,”
Smith emphasized. “He really humbled me. As
an eighth grader I really
thought I could play
varsity when I got to be
a freshman. He was
really hard on me and
that helped me. I had
to work to impress him.
I knew I could always
go to him for anything.
He gets the best out of
me. He doesn't talk
long. It is short and

simple but he makes his message clear.”
Smith, who also is on the winning basketball
team this season, has Bates College in Maine
first on his list of colleges he would like to attend in an effort to further his football talent.
Bard College in New York is a possibility for
him to play basketball, but he has yet to be accepted at either institution. He wants to be a
teacher in the future. His favorite courses at
Stevens include English, History, and Sociology. “I'm not a math or science type of guy,”
the friendly senior put forth. “I woke up at an
early age.” the only child of a single mom reported. “I became more aware that I have to
get my schoolwork done. I don't want to be
climbing out of a hole when I graduate.”
Fat chance. Smith carries a GPA of just under 4.00 and has the full support of Coach
Silva as he goes forth in his endeavors.
“Parker is just one of those student-athletes
that make you feel good when you see him,”
said Silva via an e-mail response. “He always
has a smile on his face and a positive attitude.
I expect big things from Parker in the future.”
The game has a 7:00 p.m. kickoff time June

Inspiration
To Every Thing There Is A Season...
By Priscilla Hull
"To every thing there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven."
Ecclesiastes 3:1
Every four years we have an opportunity to choose a leader for these great United States of America! It is an assurance developed almost 250 years
ago by those wonderful men who risked everything to make our country a place where "freedom [can] ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire". (From "I Have a Dream" August 28, 1963). Why do you suppose Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. chose New Hampshire as one of the great
examples of freedom? Why did he single our our "prodigious hilltops" to be mentioned in his eloquent plea for freedom? Is it because we are the
first state for primary elections? Is it because of the old saying, "as goes New Hampshire, so goes the nation"? Is it because in New Hampshire
freedom has always been the way of thinking? Makes one wonder a bit. We are a proud, strong state.
Here in our small state we find people who are strong in conviction. We find people on both sides of any issue! We find people who stand at either
end of the spectrum in any given situation. Yet, here in New Hampshire we manage to come together in our personal lives. We can agree to disagree
and still love our neighbor. We have always been a freedom directed state. We believe that freedom is necessary to survival. It is. We enjoy freedom to think as we wish, to live as we wish, making sure that our freedom does not cause enslavement of others.
In less than four years we will have the opportunity to elect the leader of our country once again. May this current leader take us and our brothers
and sisters around the country, around the world, to a new level of freedom where freedom will echo around the globe, where no one will be enslaved
by injustice due to life circumstances or belief.
"Let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire." Let us put aside differences, so that we can be the leaders in the true freedom
that we all desire!
Priscilla Hull is the Lay Leader of the First United Methodist Church in Claremont.

Keeping The Channels Open
By Bernadette OʼLeary
Many questions regarding how society can fight human trafficking involve the police themselves. How can they fight
it? What would it require? Is it a problem in my hometown? With these questions in mind and using my hometown as an
example, I met with Lt. Watts of the Special Crimes Division in Stillwater, OK. (A link below lets you find stats for your state). How much of an issue is
trafficking in a town that is smallish but is also a college town? With so many people coming and going for campus events, along with the everyday
residents, it seems to me that this type of town would be a prime target. After all, people coming and going to and from college, including at all hours,
living the college life… It might take longer for someone to be missed. Likewise, the common assumption is that trafficking focuses on bigger cities,
right? Therefore, no one would be looking for it in smaller towns. These are two of the ideas I have heard and therefore wondered about. I was
pleased with Watts' answers about these.
Watts detailed how towns such as Stillwater work with each other to battle certain
crimes, such as human trafficking. They share information and discuss the goings on
within their separate jurisdictions. In this way, they are able to track crimes and gauge the
threat levels posted within their communities. This actively ensures that they are on top of
each of the various crimes, who is committing them, and who might be prime targets. This
allows them to plan appropriately as needed. He went on to tell me that in our area, human trafficking has not been an issue. He expressed that meetings such as these help a
great deal in the battle against trafficking, and I am inclined to agree. The fact is, open
communication between agencies is vital to any and all issues that cross both jurisdictional and state lines.
Human trafficking is without a doubt a plague upon this world, and it is growing. According to Citizens for Community Values, or CCV, "There are approximately 800,000 annual
trafficking victims worldwide. The average age of victims is 11-14. Approximately 80% of
victims are female, with 70% of those females trafficked into the commercial sex industry.
The U.S. is a destination country for over 48 major source countries."
http://www.ccv.org/issues/human-trafficking/ Everyone lobbying for prostitution to be legalized is therefore lobbying for something that supports human trafficking of a minimum of
448,000 people annually within the sex industry. That is only an estimate based on the
numbers that are females forced into the sex industry, according to the numbers above.
This does not even take into account the male victims who are trafficked and forced into
prostitution. Think about that for one moment.
This is why I work to inform everyone about this evil plague that destroys lives. This is
why I promote Destiny Rescue, an organization that rescues and rehabilitates children
trapped in human trafficking. Visit www.destinyrescue.org/us/ today to see how you can
help fight human trafficking. Contact your local law enforcement to ask how they fight human trafficking and if they are keeping channels of communication open with other jurisdictions. Make a donation box and ask your local church to let you put up my Destiny Rescue flyer. Spread the word. Finally, contact state and federal agencies to ask what laws they are working on to fight human trafficking. Together, we can save children in need. #AChildNeedsYou To locate

Film Retrospective At COH
CLAREMONT, NH--On Thursday, Feb. 2,

Patrick D. Anderson of Colby Sawyer College
who will present a film retrospective supported
by slides and film clips: Sennett, Chaplin,
Keaton and the Art of the Silent Film Comedy. This event is sponsored in part by NH Humanities Council. Film was birthed in silence during the first
three decades of the 20th century. Patrick Anderson shows how the social and cultural history of the United States is reflected in the celluloid strips that captured it, especially as the
art was developed by these three filmmakers.
Patrick D. Anderson, Gibney Distinguished
Professor at Colby-Sawyer College, is a cultural historian who teaches American studies,
film and Native American studies courses. His research on indigenous peoples has
taken him to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska,
the American Southwest, and Central and
South America. Anderson has also written
about Hollywood filmmaking and the Academy

program, “Reel Talk.” He has degrees from
the University of Notre Dame and the University of Michigan. Other programs Anderson presents are
