PET OF THE WEEK KODA This sweet seven year old has been at the shelter since July, and has waited patiently for a new family to enjoy his retirement days with.

Koda is looking for a family with children 12 or older, potentially another doggy friend, but no cats or small animals. Koda is very social, outgoing and sweet, and knows tricks like sit, down and paw! Even older dogs can still learn new tricks, especially if they are food- motivated, as Koda is!

Please come by and meet Koda. He’s got a lot of love to give his new family! 1305 Meredith Center Rd Laconia, NH 03246 • (603) 524-9539

GILFORD – Last week the Gilford High School field hockey team opened its season with a 2-0 loss to the defending Division 3 champion Mascoma Roy- als, but the Golden Eagles bounced back with a 2-1 win over rival Winnisquam to finish out the week with a split. “Mascoma’s aggressive defense and transition game kept the Eagles from generating any type of offense,” said coach Dave Rogacki. “Jenna DeLucca had a good game in goal with double-digit saves.” In the game against Winnisquam, the first five minutes Gilford had ample scoring opportunities with the ball bouncing around in front of the goal on several occasions. Things then flipped over as Winnisquam had scoring chances that Gilford man- aged to thwart. The two teams battled back-and-forth throughout the first half and showed that they were evenly matched with a 0-0 tie at halftime. Gilford came out firing in the second half with multiple shots on net before Randi Byars scored the first goal of the season with 18:31 left on the clock. With about 14 minutes left, the Eagles scored again with Shea Brown knocking a shot in off the rebound. With 1:22 left in the game, Emma Griffin scored BOB MARTIN for Winnisquam to make it 2-1 but it was too little, Dave Rogacki peps up his team during a timeout in a game against Winnisquam. too late for Winnisquam as time expired.

COURTESY PHOTO Winners of the 26th annual Bolduc Park Golf Tournament in Gilford.

GILFORD — The 26th annual Bolduc Park Golf Tournament was held in August to benefit the non-profit Bolduc Park Association. The association maintains a nine-hole golf course, disc golf course and cross-country ski and snowshoeing facility at 285 Gilford Avenue on the Gilford-Laconia town line. The course is open to the public for a donation and is appropriate for all ages. Tournament winners include Judy Malonson, winner of the Women 80 and over division. Men 80 and over division winners were Bob Casey in first, Paul Rich in second and Perry Audley in third. Women 70 - 79 winners were Elaine Holt in first, Vivian Glass in second and Marilyn Bolduc in third. Bob Bolduc had the lowest score in the tournament with a 58 and was first in the Men’s 70 – 79 Division. That division included second place finisher Tom Astaldi and in third place was Don Mc- Clung. Cindy Church placed first, Robin Mescon was second and Malou Lapointe was third in the Women 40 - 69 Division. The Men 40 - 69 Division was won by Ron Johnson with Peter Lapointe finishing second and Mike Horton in third. Winners in the Men 16 - 39 Division were Nate Stevens in first, Jeremy Dry was second and Mike Pucci was third. Nick Pucci won the 15 and under closest to the hole contest.

Putting contest winners were Roland Bussiere in first, Peter Daniels in second and Paul Herman in third BCSA chicken barbecue is Sept. 19.

GILFORD — The Belknap County Sportsmen’s Association (BSCA) will be holding its annual barbecue chicken dinner on Thursday, Sept. 19, at the club- house on Lily Pond Road (Route 11C) in Gilford. The menu will consist of barbe- cued chicken, corn on the cob, homemade potato salad, and dessert. The BCSA is doing advanced ticket sales for this event. A maximum of 110 tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Tickets can be obtained by contacting Kathy Denutte at 581-5062. Some tickets may be available at the door but it would be best to get them in advance. The speaker for the evening will be Jeremy D’Entremont, who is the current president and historian of the American Lighthouse Foundation. His presen- tation will be on “New England Lighthouses and the People Who Kept Them” Everyone knows there’s “something about lighthouses” that gives them broad appeal, but their vital role in our history and culture is little appreciated. The early nation was built on a maritime economy and lighthouses were part of a system that made that possible. Due to automation, traditional lighthouse keep- ing is a way of life that has faded into the past. D’Entremont tells the history of New England’s historic and picturesque lighthouses, primarily focusing on the colorful and dramatic stories of lighthouse keepers and their families. This event is open to all BCSA members as well as the entire Lakes Region community. Join in for some delicious barbecued chicken and listen to a talk that promises to be entertaining as well as informative. The proceeds from the dinner will go to the Belknap County Sportsmen’s Charitable Fund to help pay off their mortgage.
