It will be a treat for local read- ers to see a local byline, and something that Chilinski is quite proud of. “This is not something we do every day,” Chilinski said. “In fact, other than the occasional foray into Cana- da by some of our northern- most reporters, we never travel to another country to cover a story. Heck, we rarely leave the state!” The unusual venue does not mean that the focus of the paper has changed at all, Chilinski noted. “Our publications are all local, local, local, and we reflect the communities we serve. In this case, though, we have at least a half doz- en young athletes from our New Hampshire towns representing the United States at the Winter Olym- pics in Sochi, Russia. Josh is going be there, covering them for our Salmon Press local newspapers, and our readers, both in print and online.

Kennett took another penalty with just six sec- onds left in the second peri- od to set up a 5 on 3, and the Bulldogs somehow man- aged to capitalize and score a huge insurance goal.
