WOW Trail ROW study released to Laconia City Council

LACONIA — WOW Trail President Allan Beetle presented an overview of the ROW (Right-of-Way) Study of the Proposed Regional Rail Trail from Frank- lin to Weirs Beach to the Laconia City Council on Oct. 15. The study was conducted by Alta Plan- ning & Design, a nation- ally recognized leader in the bicycle/pedestrian field, who is currently under contract with NH DOT for their statewide Bike/Ped planning. The City of Laconia endorsed a proposal to commission research, paid for by the WOW Trail committee and others, to study the pros Courtesy and cons of continuing Winnipesaukee RR at Weirs Beach station. NH DOT reports passenger counts down more than 30 percent for the train over the last four years.

GILFORD –The Gilford High School field hockey team had a pair of wins last week and finished out the regular season with an 11-3 re- cord. On Tuesday the Golden Eagles had a domi- nant victory over the Franklin Golden Torna- does by a score of 7-0. Laurel Gingrich and Aly Pichette each had two goals to lead the offense. Also scoring for Gilford was Shea Brown, Syni Lehr and Avery Totten, who scored her first varsity goal as a freshman. Coach Dave Rogacki said he was also happy with the play of the de- fense led by Taryn Fountain and Emily O’Con- nor. “Taryn Fountain and Emily O’Connor con- tinued to develop their transition game that helped the defense keep Franklin out of the cir- cle,” said Rogacki. On Friday, the Golden Eagles hosted St. Thomas Aquinas and came away with anoth- er shutout win by a score of 5-0. Gingrich and Byars shined in the senior game with two goals JOSHUA SPAULDING each, while freshman Lexi Shute also scored. Cody Boucher finished 14th in the state for Division 3 golf this season. He shot an 85 at the state finals last week. The game was controlled by Gilford from start

GILFORD – It was another dominant perfor- mance for the Gilford volleyball team who remained unbeaten with a sweep win over Somersworth last week. The Golden Eagles won in dominating fashion by scores of 25-5, 25-17 and 25-7. Senior defensive spe- cialist Michelle Gallant had seven serves in a row with four aces, and was very good for the service line. Sophomore setter Riley McDonough also had a big night with 11 assists, one block, one kill and six consecutive serves. Senior middle blocker Abby O’Connor was the leader on offense with seven kills and a block. Se- nior outside hitter Abby Warren had four spike kills in the win. “Overall I was happy with how my team played,” said coach Amy Tripp. Gilford had an away game against Plymouth on Tuesday after deadline, which was bound to be an exciting match as the Bobcats are on a 10-game win streak. The Golden Eagles finish the regular season on Oct. 24 at home against Manchester West for se- nior night.
