WOODSVILLE — The Engineers notched their seventh shutout in an eight- game span as their defense helped Woodsville blank Profile 3-0 on Oct. 10. The defensive surge came in the wake of a 6-1 loss to Lisbon on Sept. 12. The hot streak coincides with senior Kevin Briggs’ move from halfback back to sweeper. Since Briggs’ move Woodsville has allowed just one goal in eight games. “Being a sweeper is a good position for me because I can see the whole field,” Briggs said. “It’s eas- ier to be a leader from the

NorthCountry Manor Assisted Living for Seniors Specializing in Memory Care
Does your loved one have trouble with memory? Has your parent or spouse been diagnosed with dementia? We understand aging can be a challenge for seniors as well as their caregivers. Oftentimes it seems the only option is either a nursing home or to remain in the home. NorthCountry Manor offers an alternative: assisted living with special emphasis on Memory Care. Our structured program, directly supervised by a Registered Nurse, is geared towards achieving and maintaining the highest level of cognitive functioning. With the comforts of our small, home-like environment and the kindness and expertise of our staff, seniors feel safe, supported, and our families can rest assured that their loved ones are receiving the highest level of care and attention. We invite you to stop in and talk to us about the NorthCountry Manor Difference!
