LITTLETON — A $50 raffle ticket could buy you a new car. The Community Center has teamed up with Crosstown Motors and Littleton Chevrolet for the event. The raffle kicked off earlier this month. The drawing is scheduled for the evening of October 19. The raffle will benefit the Community Center roof fund. As the raffle brochure notes, the new roof “is criti- cally needed” as a means to preserve “our town center.” The treasured building is used for various town meet- ings and other events. Last year the Center was named to the state’s Seven to Save list. This designation is meant to provide a focus on historic structures that need ongoing maintenance assis- tance. At the 1920 town meet- ing, the Community Center was designated as Littleton’s memorial to the soldiers and sailors of World War I. At the kick-off of the raf- fle, which occurred on May 18, board member Gail Kimball was joined by Duane Coute of Littleton Chevy and Tom Ritchotte of Crosstown Motors. The two cars are a 2013 Chevy Sonic LS and a 2013 DARIN WIPPERMAN/THE LITTLETON COURIER The Community Center kicked off a raffle earlier this month.

This match up would right down to the wire, but the Engineers will to win would give them a much-needed lift and win to boost their confidence and standings headed into the post-season. Toeing the rubber for the Engineers in this game would be the always dependable, Jacob Tetley. Tetley has seen a lot of time on the mound this sea- son and he has been a staple for the Engineers successes this season. Although this season for the Engineers has been difficult at times, this game would be indic- ative at the way this team can play when they are on their game. The Engineers got out to an early 2-0 lead over Rivendell as Tetley’s pitch- ing performance cemented the team defensively. But by the end of the third, Rivendell managed to bring home two of their own with timely hitting and stolen bases. In the fourth inning, Woodsville would muster all of their skill and confi- dence to put together a big inning that saw them score three runs and raise the pitch count of the Rivendell pitching staff. Tetley would pitch another solid inning and one third to finish with the James Barrett/The Courier win and the line of six and Woodsville’s Tetley has become a solid performer for their pitching staff. one-third innings pitched, six strikeouts, two bases- final two outs of the inning coach, Willy Kingsbury, zero.

During a recent visit, four cadets and several residents played Reminisce, a board game in which teams tried to answer flashback questions from the 1930s through the 1990s, sometimes with hilarious results. Some of those playing were, from left, resident Peggy Lou Craig, PFC Ezekiel Ratliff of Whitefield, Capt. Chris Cass of Jefferson, resident Diane Hodgdon, and PFC Brandon Boynton of Whitefield. Not shown, but also part of the Courtesy photo JROTC group, was Lt. Col. Morgan Gilman of Twin Mountain. Birthday cake was enjoyed at The Morrison in Whitefield by residents Margaret Carr of Lancaster (left), age 102, who was born on April 28, 1911 and Therese Grenier of Dalton, age 91, who was born on April 29, 1922. Both women were born at home and reminisced about the many technological changes they have witnessed during their lives, including automatic washing machines and television.

The day will mark the start of the 33nd Annual Wildflower Festival, with a full slate of fun activities planned at the turn-of-the- 20th-Century estate. From cooking and plant- ing to local food and edible flowers, wildflowers and other plants will be cele- brated on this early summer day. Several workshops and tours are planned to entertain and educate vis- itors from 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. The Festival will include guided walks by volun- teers and staff along the Mile Path, which meanders through the historic Rocks Estate property, where the Glessner family, original owners of The Rocks, col- lected and planted an array of flowers. “This trail is open only to guided tours, as per the wishes of the donors of the property, John Lee and Martha Batchelder,” said Clare Brown, of the Bethlehem Heritage Society and a Forest Society staff member. “The guided Glessner purchased in 1882 “Learning what you can Mead, Lake House White Education Center of the numerous buildings listed walks offer a chance for vis- for $2,300.
