COURTESY

Capital, Lakes, and Three Rivers regions. We are a nonprofit hospital and there are so many helpful patient services here that only exist because of the generosity of our community. Charitable contributions benefit programs that help low-income, uninsured and underinsured patients, wrap-around services to support patients while they undergo treatment, and pilot programs, technological advances and capital enhancements that move the hospital system forward. Donations help make Concord Hospital the best it can be to serve our entire community.

Why do you choose to live in the Greater Concord area? I love the ability to live in a home surrounded by nature, while only a short distance from everything a small New England city has to offer.

What do you like to do for fun? I love all things water. I love kayaking — the relaxing, flatwater kind. I’ve been a swimmer all of my life and swim competitively with US Masters. This summer,

Concord Monitor Classifieds

I’m doing a 1-mile swim — the Glen Lake Swim — and also my first sprint triathlon with my colleague at Concord Hospital Trust, Moriah Billups.

Wish us luck!

Where did you go to school? I was introduced to this wonderful state as an undergraduate at the University of New Hampshire. After earning my degree, I had adventures as a field biologist conducting research in Chesapeake Bay, the Hudson River, and the Florida Everglades.

What brought me to a career in fundraising was the realization that meaningful work takes money to accomplish, and fundraising provides financial resources for the most important causes of our day.

Donors really do make a difference.

Last book you’ve read?

Sudden Sea by R.A. Scotti about the 1935 hurricane, which I read while on a recent vacation in the Caribbean. Reading stories in a fitting setting adds a layer to my experience of a book. I once read The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger while aboard a sci-

entific research cruise to study fish in Chesapeake Bay. Favorite place to be?

Somewhere in the Caribbean.

Tell us a few interesting facts about yourself! I love animals. I have two dogs and one was adopted from Pope Memorial SPCA soon after my husband and I moved here in 2019. We have a small farm just north of Concord, and I tend to a flock of 35 chickens. Fresh eggs are the best. In the spring and summer, we take care of our neighbor’s goats and llama who graze in our field. We call it “goat summer camp.” We also enjoy seeing the wildlife that visits our property, including deer, turkeys, owls, moose, bobcats, bears, porcupines, coyotes, and otters, to name a few.

What’s your favorite memory in Concord? My first Rock ‘N Race as lead coordinator of the event in May 2022: It was a milestone year, the 20th annual race, and the first year back at the New Hampshire State House after COVID sidelined the

event. After eight months of planning with a hardworking volunteer committee, it POURED rain.

And guess what? Everyone—2,000 people — still showed up to walk and run in support of patients battling cancer. It showed me the compassion of the Concord area community and the gratitude people have for care they receive at the Payson Center for Cancer Care. A warm and fuzzy memory for sure, even in the chilly rain.

Join CYPN for an event at Concord Hospital, hosted by the Concord Hospital Trust—the philanthropic arm of the hospital, that raises funds for various programs and services. During the evening, network with other young professionals, meet up with friends, learn about the work of the Payson Center for Cancer Care, and sign up for the 22nd annual Rock ‘N Race!

sought after by orchestras across the globe for original commissions.

When asked about programming video game music for a symphony, Music Director Roger Kalia responded, “Most people don’t realize how much video game music is driven by the classical and romantic eras. I hope that our regular patrons come out to hear what composers are creating for a medium they are probably unfamiliar with. The music stands on its own.”

We promise no Easter Eggs and plenty of DLC before the concert. From the iconic music of Koji Kondo (Mario and Zelda) Nobuo Uematsu’s “One Winged Angel” from Final Fantasy, themes from Pokémon Sword and Shield, and so much more, don’t let this be “game over” for you.

dent talent we have within our public schools. The range of creativity displayed by our students is truly aweinspiring, covering various themes and mediums that reflect both their imagination and their engagement with the world around them.

The art show’s opening night extravaganza on March 6 included food provided by the PTO’s of various schools and live music graciously provided by Aiden Blanchard, a senior from Concord High School, adding to the festive atmosphere and making it a truly community-centered event. It was heartwarming to see fami-

lies, teachers, and art enthusiasts come together to support and celebrate the artistic achievements of our young artists.

For those who were unable to attend the opening, there is still an opportunity to view the artwork. The display will remain up until April 3 at the Concord Community Center, which is open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

We are excited to share that select pieces of student artwork are also on display at the Concord Public Library and the SAU office, allowing even more members of our community to enjoy these wonderful creations.

lived at The Sandcastle in 1979, when she was seventeen years old.

Jackie’s uncle Graham is a well-known folk singer from the 1970s, and the mercurial patriarch of the bohemian Sandcastle, a rambling house with several cabins off the forested and rocky coast of California. The sprawling residence is also home to his wife Angela and their daughter Willa, who is the same age as Jackie.

Graham also welcomes musicians, artists, and wanderers of all types; his home is a revolving door of whimsical, creative people who captivate Jackie’s attention the minute she begins her summer-long visit. Teenage

Jackie is a troubled girl with a contentious relationship with her father and stepmother, so this summer adventure is a welcome distraction from her life at home.

Jackie soon meets her cousin Willa, and the two immediately become inseparable.

They begin writing song lyrics, listen to music, and Willa teaches Jackie how to surf. They explore the wild terrain around the Sandcastle, and it is through this exploration that the two girls learn family secrets which lead to disaster.

During the parts of the book that take place in 1999, Jackie hints at these

painful memories and why she had distanced herself from her family and the estate. These snippets of the past kept me enthralled with the plot of the book; I wanted to find out what happened to Graham and Willa. It is suggested throughout the book that some type of tragedy befell each of them at separate times, but it isn’t until the very end that the details of these events are revealed.

As Jackie interacts with the members of the band making the Graham Kingston tribute album, she feels intense nostalgia and recognizes startling similarities to that summer twenty years ago. Jackie becomes determined to solve the mystery of what happened to Willa, but will she be able to handle the truth?

MESSAGES WILL BE PUBLISHED STARTING MARCH 30

The Walker Lecture Series invites you to An Evening of A Cappella With The Afternotes and Tonehenge on March 27 at 7:30 p.m., doors open at 7 p.m.

The Afternotes is a women’s a cappella group made up of UNH alumnae.

They bring a fun style and varied repertoire to their performances, with sets that include songs by Pink, The Bangles, Fleetwood Mac, and Billie Eilish.

The seven men of Tonehenge have been entertaining audiences throughout New England since 2009 with their blend of popular and traditional music. Their tag line, “rock solid a cappella” is a play on the group’s name as well as their repertoire, with a focus on familiar tunes from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

In 2018, and 2019, Tonehenge appeared on WGBH’s popular talent show “Sing That Thing.”

The show is free. All ages are welcome Concord City Auditorium, 2 Prince St. For a complete season schedule, visit www.walkerlecture.org

Student wins composition contest Henniker Community School eighth-grade student Bradley Cooney won the NH Music Educators Association Composition Contest in Middle School Division/Electronic Music for his “Outta Time.” this is the first time the Henniker Community School has had a student compete in the Association’s composition contest. Bradley’s “Outta Time” was written and designed for use in a video game.

“In the future, I can see Bradley composing video game music as his chosen profession if he wanted. It is something he is both talented in and passionate about,” commented music teacher Taylor Carroll.

“Music classes at the Henniker Community School have greatly expanded over

the years from the standard singing and band offerings of the past. Music opportunities for middle school students include drumming, band, composition, guitar, ukulele, piano, and voice. “If a student has an interest in something musical, we’ll make it happen. Not everyone is a performer, but everyone can learn about music in a way that is meaningful to them” said Carroll.

Winners of the various high school, middle school, and elementary school division composition competitions will be recognized by the NH Music Educators Association at their spring allmember meeting on April 5, which is attended by music teachers from across the state. To hear Bradley’s composition “Outta Time,” go to: shorturl.at/txVX5.

Concord Insider — Thursday, March 21, 2024

March 21, 2002: Faced with a record drought that highlights the increasingly fierce competition for New Hampshire’s water, lawmakers side with conservationists on several key measures to protect groundwater and rivers. The four water-use related bills include promoting low-flow water fixtures, clarifying the governor’s authority to declare water supply emergencies and impose restrictions, and imposing tighter standards on commercial businesses withdrawing more than 57,600 gallons of water a day from the ground.

March 21, 2000: About three dozen Moultonboro residents turn out to give three state senators an earful regarding the statewide property tax. “It’s a cruel, unjust, unfair thing,” one man says on behalf of the group. Still, the carping could have been worse. Jeannette Johnson, wife of Sen. Carl Johnson, says, “I thought there’d be a lot more people, with all the complaining they’ve been doing.”

March 22, 2001: For the second year in a row, Pittsfield residents defeat a proposal for a full-day public kindergarten program.

March 22, 1965: The Monitor reports growing disapproval of a bill to impose a $5,000 minimum pay law for teachers. Towns would have to foot the bill and leaders say it would infringe on local control. The

bill will be defeated.

March 23, 2001: Concord was New Hampshire’s fastest-growing city in the 1990s, the U.S. Census Bureau announces. The official 2000 population is listed as 40,687.

March 23, 2000: The New Hampshire House rejects a ban of so-called partialbirth abortions. The 185176 margin surprises many observers. The last time the House voted on such a measure, in 1997, it failed by 80 votes.

March 24, 2004: The Concord School Board unanimously approves a $55.1 million budget that includes the elimination of a Rundlett Middle School wellness teacher.

March 24, 2000: The state Supreme Court takes away the voting rights of imprisoned felons, overturning a 1998 decision that had made New Hampshire one of four states to enfranchise prisoners. Felons on parole and ex-convicts are not barred from voting.

March 24, 1992: Saying it is “time to come home,” U.S. Sen. Warren Rudman announces in the State House Hall of Flags that he will not seek a third term.

Mar 25 2003: The House votes to require doctors to notify the parents of girls under 18 seeking abortions.

The margin is slim, 187181. But the outcome marks a momentous political shift in the House, which has rejected dozens of attempts to limit access to abortion

over the last 20 years.

March 25, 2000: Concord High defenseman Joe Garofalo has been named Division I hockey player of the year, the Monitor reports. It is the second year in a row he has won the award, which he shares this year with Bishop Guertin goalie Dave MacDonald.

March 25, 1996: In a Concord motel room, Robert Blair kills his girlfriend and her handicapped child with a hammer.

March 26, 2003: Roland Allen of Penacook dies at the age of 82. For more than 60 years, Allen involved himself in nearly every aspect of Penacook life. From running the Penacook Fibre Co. to founding the village community center to serving on the local school board, he seemed to have been everywhere in town at once. In his spare time, he was a prolific songwriter, an amateur inventor and (gasp!) a devoted Yankees fan.

March 26, 2002: A new study shows that the combined willpower of town meeting voters across New Hampshire raised more money for conservation this year than any other public or private program, conservation group or fund-raising campaign, the Monitor reports.

March 26, 1969: The Legislature votes to cut five days off the sentences of prisoners who donate a pint of blood to the American Red Cross.

March 26, 2001: Hanover-based researchers warn that acid rain continues to plague the state’s forests, lakes and wildlife and that any number of animal and plant species could be lost unless there are significant decreases in air pollution nationwide.

March 26, 1998: The state Supreme Court upholds two criminal convictions appealed by a fringe presidential candidate who campaigned here on an anticrime platform. Robert Haines of Manchester was convicted of reckless conduct and felonious use of body armor after pulling a rifle on a man in 1995 while wearing a bulletproof vest.

He maintained he pulled the gun in self-defense and wore the vest because he was a candidate.

March 26, 1948: Steven Tallarico is born. In Sunapee in the late 1960s he will form his first serious band, The Strangeurs. In 1970 he’ll team up with bassist Tom Hamilton, who went to high school in New London, and guitarist Joe Perry, who once worked at a restaurant in Sunapee.

The new band is called Aerosmith, and Tallarico will change his name to Tyler. The rest is rock history.

March 26, 1853: Concord elects its first mayor, Joseph Low, a grand-looking man with a gold-headed cane.

Before this date, the city was a town, run by selectmen.

March 27, 2003: A fire rips through a Contoocook house, devouring the center of the building and causing it to collapse. No one is injured.

March 27, 2002: The Capitol Center for the Arts lifted the curtain this month on an ambitious $3 million capital campaign to give the city a sleeker, more functional and attractive focal point, the Monitor reports. If successful, supporters say the project will cement the center’s future as the premier cultural arts venue in northern New England.

March 27, 2000: A longtime former treasurer of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy pleads guilty to embezzling more than $240,000 from the school over a period of seven years.

March 27, 1997: The New Hampshire House votes overwhelmingly to support the policy objective of Gov. Jeanne Shaheen’s $50 million plan to expand public kindergarten. The proposal heads now to the Finance Committee, which will debate how to pay for the plan.

March 27, 1965: Penacook school district voters will have several options before them: creating a cooperative school district with neighboring towns, merging with Concord or going it alone. Eventually, voters will approve creation of the Merrimack Valley School District.
