BY WILLIAM CARROLL THE BERLIN SUN LANCASTER — The Free State Project’s 18th annual Porcupine Free- dom Festival was a sell out this year with 2,500 tickets sold, eclipsing the previous record of 1,800 for the event. The festival brings in liber- ty-minded individuals from across the country as part of what Carla Gericke of Manchester, who is president emer- itus of the Free State Project, said is a showcase to show attendees the value of living in New Hampshire. The event, for most of its 18-year history has been held at Roger’s Campground in Lancaster, while two previous Porcfests were held at Gun- stock Mountain Resort in Guilford. The event this year showcased about 700 different sub-events as part of the festival, which ran from Hundreds of attendees packed into the pavilion at Roger’s Campground Thursday to hear from libertarian podcaster Dave Smith.

GILLIGAN from page 5 be trusted at that level. I’m especially going to miss Rhoda Quint, she’s like family to me.” Jim LeFebvre, budget committee chair, invited Gilligan to attend the June 16 meeting so he and colleagues could recognize her service to the com- munity. “It was so nice of him,” she said. “Unfortunately, we were unable to attend because we needed to look at the one house on the market in Peterborough.” Gilligan did buy a house that day, not in Peter- borough but nearby Rindge. She put her home on Wilder Street in Conway on the market after that, and it sold in a day. Gilligan said Peterborough has an annual town budget similar to Conway at around $15 million. With SAU 9, she oversaw eight school budgets totaling $56 million. “Each of the seven school districts has a unique vibe that makes them special,” Gilligan said. “It was an honor to work for such a large SAU of 29 school board members and a dynamic and dedi- cated superintendent. The trust that was extended to me by all of these communities was extremely rewarding.” She added: “The elected treasurers of each of these school districts were critical to performing my job. And the fi nance staff performs such an incredible amount of work. I am so grateful to have worked with such a professional staff. I couldn’t have done it without them.” As for advice for her successor, Gilligan said, “I would listen to these great staff members and trea- surers as they are an amazing resource.” Before coming to Conway, Gilligan lived in Exeter and served as the fi nance director of Seabrook. She also worked as the CFO of a regional retire- ment system in Massachusetts with a $40 million annual budget and was assistant director of Boston University Offi ce of Development, according to former Conway Town Manager Earl Sires. She earned a master’s degree in information tech- nology from Harvard and an undergraduate degree from Smith College. “We’re really going to miss this community,” Gil- ligan said. “Everyone has embraced us. I really love this sense of community — it’s a wonderful place to be.” lloyd@conwaydailysun,com THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, June 29, 2021— Page 9

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN CONWAY — The Home Run Bull- dogs U13 baseball team captured the New Balance Select League New Hampshire State Championship on Sunday morning. The Bulldogs rallied from 7-2 and 9-5 defi cits to defeat the Merrimack Valley Prospects 10-9 at Rolfe Field in Concord. The Dogs aren’t done yet. They’ve qualifi ed for the Regional Champi- onships, which are scheduled for this weekend. Eight teams (four from Mass., two from Maine and the two from the Granite State — Home Run and the Prospects) will vie for the championship in the single-elimina- tion tournament. Match-ups will be determined via Zoom in a blind draw, so there is a pos- sibility Home Run could host a fi rst- round contest at Nasby King Field on Saturday. “We knew going into the fi nals that both teams (Home Run and MV) had already qualifi ed for the Regionals, but we wanted to go to the regionals The Home Run Bulldogs U13 baseball team captured the New Balance Select League New Hampshire State Championship in Concord on Sunday morning. see BULLDOGS page 16 (GINA SALADINO PHOTO) Tucker and Parker team up for CHaD

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN CONWAY — When Parker Coleman suits up in the annual CHaD East-West High School All-Star Football Game in Grappone Stadium at Saint Anselm College in Manchester on July 17 (kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.), he’ll be playing for more than the love of the game. He is playing to honor his good friend Tucker Day, 9, of Conway who has been a patient at Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitch- cock Hospital since he was fi ve. No one will be cheering louder for Parker than Tucker, an energetic soon-to-be-fi fth-grader and the son of Krista and Tony Day, both of Conway. Parker, 18, the son of Kristin and Noah Cole- man of Conway, just graduated from Kennett High School, where he was the starting quarterback for the Eagles for the past three years. Players are not required to fundraise to play in the game but they have generated over $535,000 since the game began. Last year’s teams raised $46,000 despite the pandemic. “When Parker was asked to be on the CHaD roster, Tucker Day (left) and Parker Coleman fi lm a video, created by Abbey Donaldson, in support of Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock see CHaD page 14 ahead of the July 17 annual CHaD NH East-West High School All-Star Football Game.

CHaD from page 13 we know everyone is encouraged to raise money for CHaD,” Kristin Coleman, who teaches third- grade at Conway Elementary School, explained. “We wanted to do something special. I looked around and we found out there is actually a child at Conway Ele- mentary with ties to CHaD. It was Tucker.” This might be the closest Tucker will get to game action for the Eagles on the gridiron. At age 5, he was diagnosed with a rare heart condition called bicuspid aortic valve disease and received regular care from the pediatric doctors at Dartmouth Hitchcock. “When he was 5,” Krista Day explained, “all of a sudden he started having episodes and he’d say, ‘Mama, my heart is going too fast.’” Tucker had another incident while participating in Project SUCCEED in gym class at the John H. Fuller School in North Conway. The school nurse discovered his heart was beating at 220 beats per minute, much quicker than a normal heartbeat, which is typically around 60-100 beats per minute. Doctors as CHaD determined Tucker had Super VT (Ventricular Tachycardia), which according to the Mayo Clinic, is “a heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) caused by abnormal electrical signals in the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles).” However, during a routine echocardiogram, it was discovered that Tucker also had a severe congenital heart defect, a bicuspid aortic valve. “Typically, in the aorta you have three fl aps that open and close, but two of Tuckers are fused together,” said Krista Day, adding, “Doctors told me that he’ll never play competitive sports because he can’t be hit too hard or overwork his heart.” Tucker currently plays baseball (his Brewers recently won the Cal Ripken Minor League champi- onship), water skis and has played fl ag football.
