BY JEFF FERLAND [email protected]

LACONIA — Volunteers from the New Hampshire Human Society in partnership with the VCA Lakes Re- gion Veterinary Hospital staff hosted their first Sum- mer Adopt-A-Thon Saturday June 2 at the veterinarian facility on Union Ave Laconia. To kick off June as Adopt a Shelter Cat month, Mary Lee Gorham-Waterman, NHHS development and volunteer director, said they hoped to bring a few of their feline friends out to meet more people, and hopefully find new homes.

FOR SCHOOL BUSES! SECTION B THE GILFORD STEAMER SPORTS THURSDAY NewHampshireLakesAndMountains.com June 7, 2012 Back to Plymouth Lady Eagles shake off early hole to pummel Farmington, 14-4

BY JEFF LAJOIE [email protected]

GILFORD – Despite falling behind in each of the first two playoff games this spring, the Gilford High School softball team han- dled its business in quite an impressive fashion. Trailing 3-0 after half an inning on June 3, the Gold- en Eagles scored four runs in the bottom of the first and kept scoring from there en route to a 14-4 win over Farmington High School in a Division III quarterfinal matchup. Second-seeded Gilford (18-0) advanced to the D-III semifinals for the second straight season with a game against number three Stevens scheduled for Tuesday night, June 5, after deadline. Full coverage of that game will be available in next week’s Gilford Steamer. “I knew it was going to be PHOTO BY JEFF LAJOIE a ballgame,” explained Gil- Junior Sydney Strout won her 18th game of the season in the circle in the 14-4 win over Farmington. ford coach Joan Forge. “(Farmington) came out and hit the ball strong but this is the end?’ Automatic the coach said of her team. five-run frame that saw the once we were settled down, thing that came into my “Obviously to take the lead Tigers commit three errors. we were fine.
