JEANIE FORRESTER District 2 There were may issues that grabbed the headlies i this last electio cycle, from the opioid crisis to jobs ad the ecoomy. Oe issue that did t receive a lot of attetio here i New Hampshire was the struggle to fid qualified health care workers for our ursig homes. This summer, as I traveled throughout the state, visitig private ursig homes, couty ursig homes, ad talkig with professioals i the log-term care idustry, I leared about serious staffig shortages. Our log-term care facilities caot fid a sufficiet supply of Licesed Practical Nurses (LPNs) ad Licesed Nursig Assistats (LNAs). The cosequece of this situatio threates to egatively impact the critical services our seiors eed ad deserve. I a effort to better uderstad what is happeig, the New Hampshire Health Care has tured the state s restoratio project ito a wildlife success story Associatio (NHHCA) iitiated a survey to determie the root causes of the growig shortage of LPNs1 ad LNAs2. As backgroud, the NHHCA is the largest associatio of log-term care providers i New Hampshire. Their members iclude skilled ursig facilities, ursig homes, ad assisted livig facilities throughout the state of New Hampshire. Here is what they foud: Relative to the LPN shortage, 84% of respodets reported that they have LPN positios that ca t be filled. The LPN shortage appears to be due to fewer LPN educatioal programs beig offered at our higher educatio istitutios, fewer cadidates iterested i LPN programs, ad other healthcare providers hirig LPNs. With regard to LNA shortages, licesig challeges appear to be a hidrace. 74 percet of respodets said that their LNA cadidates have experieced delays ad difficulties with obtaiig licesure from the NH Board of Nursig. 58 percet of those respodig to the survey say they have at least oe cadidate who has passed the LNA exam ad are awaitig their official licese. 12 percet of the logterm health care facilities respodig to the survey are awaitig licesure for three or more idividuals who are ready to work. 78 percet of respodets have had cadidates waitig two or more weeks for their official licese. 18 percet have bee waitig loger tha oe moth. The log-term care facilities attributed the delays to the differet processes required (figerprit, registry, crimial backgroud check) ad a few oted that there is a ew computer system at the Board of Nursig which may be causig delays or a geeral backlog. Other data collected by NHHCA looked at people who will love her always. Home for the Holidays, it s what Bagle wishes for most i life. kow from coast to coast. Ad it is truly a spectacular story--- from the first failed release at Pawtuckaway i the early 70s, to the release of a hardier variety aroud Keee i 1975, to a poit where today s populatio is a estimated 35,000 to 40,000. Today, the big black birds with the iroclad feathers ad kee-eyed setries are see i every couty ad every tow i the state. Ad to thik that it all started with a swap, SEE NOTEBOOK, PAGE A12 turover, retetio, ad vacacy rates. Highlights of the data collected revealed that overall staff turover averages 41 percet; overall staff vacacy rate averages 12.3%; ad curret ursig staff is agig out. Aother complicatig factor is stagat logterm care wages whe compared to risig wages i retail, fast food, ad other sectors which result i log-term care facilities competig for cadidates who ca choose a more attractive positio with less resposibility for more moey. I additio, lower wages ad the 24/7 ature of log-term care makes this sector uattractive for curret urses ad LNAs who ca choose other health care sectors (hospitals, etc.).

Paid Advertisemet Paid Advertisemet Paid Advertisemet Put Thaksgivig Lessos to Work i Your Fiacial Plas Over the years, this holiday has take o a variety of meaigs, most of them cetered o family, carig ad sharig. You ca carry these same values past Thaksgivig ito your daily life ad you ca certaily icorporate them ito your fiacial strategies for takig care of your loved oes. So, here are a few suggestios: Protect your family. If somethig were to happe to you, could your family pay the mortgage? Could your childre still afford to go to college someday? To protect your family s curret lifestyle ad log-term goals, you may well eed to maitai adequate life ad disability isurace. Your employer may offer these types of protectio as employee beefits, but the coverage might be isufficiet for your eeds. Cosequetly, you might eed to supplemet your employer-paid isurace with additioal policies. Ivest i your childre. If you have youg childre, ad you d like to see them go to college someday, you may wat to start puttig moey away toward that goal. You ca save ad ivest for college i a variety of ways, but oe popular method is through a 529 pla, which offers high cotributio limits ad potetial tax advatages. Plus, a 529 pla gives you sigificat cotrol ad flexibility: if you establish a pla for oe child, but he or she decides ot to go to college, you ca ame aother child as the recipiet. Be geerous. You do t have to be a millioaire to make meaigful fiacial gifts to your family. For example, if you have grow childre, cosider helpig them fud their IRAs. You ca t cotribute directly to a child s IRA, but you ca write checks to your childre for that purpose though, of course, they are the free to do whatever they wat with the moey. It s ot always easy for a youg perso to max out o a IRA, which has a aual cotributio limit of $5,500 for workers uder 50, so ay help you ca give your childre i this area should be greatly appreciated. Safeguard your ow fiacial idepedece. Almost certaily, oe of the most udesirable outcomes you ca imagie is to become fiacially depedet o your grow childre. Eve if you save ad ivest diligetly throughout your workig years, you could still be vulerable to fiacial depedecy if you eed a extesive period of logterm care, such as a ursig home stay. These costs ca be eormous, ad Medicare typically pays oly a small percetage, ad usually for just a limited time. To protect your fiacial freedom, you should explore ways of addressig log-term care costs. A fiacial professioal ca explai those alteratives that may be appropriate for your situatio. Commuicate your wishes to your family. At some poit i your life, you will eed to draw up your estate plas, which could iclude a will, a livig trust, a durable power of attorey, a health care directive ad other documets. To be fair to your childre ad other family members, ad to avoid hurt feeligs, you should clearly commuicate your plas ad your wishes while you are still aroud. Thaksgivig meas more tha turkey ad football. Ad if you ca successfully apply the lessos of this holiday to your fiacial plas, both you ad your family will have reaso to be thakful.

If they fall ito disrepair, we re goig to be forced to cosolidate, he cocluded. That harsh assessmet came after a projected $1,550,615 shortfall betwee the superitedet s proposed budget ad the amout allowed by the district s tax cap tured ito a $1,743,130 shortfall but before the district leared that Groto would be losig all of its state catastrophic aid. A few days after the Nov. 14 school board meetig, the district leared that the total loss of aid to the member tows would be $195,072. Superitedet Stacy Buckley said she would be workig o further budget reductios for presetatio to the school board o Nov. 28. She already had proposed puttig off repairs to security cameras ad reducig the umber of documet cameras the district would purchase for classroom use, as well as creatig a replacemet schedule for Christmas FROM PAGE A3 phat sale.

He was approximately six feet oe ich to six feet two iches i height, of average build ad was dressed i a black, collared sweatshirt style shirt with gray pats. They oted that he also had dark hair that was fashioed ito a ma bu alog with a scruff type beard o his chi. Police departmets i surroudig tows have also set out alerts o this suspect ad are advisig people to be cautious wheever a suspicious vehicle with police lights attempts to pull them over for a traffic stop. Amog the advice they are offerig is that, whe usure if the cruiser behid them is legitimate, drivers should slow dow ad tur o their hazard lights. If a cell phoe is available, they ca call for cofirmatio o whether the car is beig drive by a actual police officer, ad should otherwise cotiue drivig slowly util they reach a well lit public area before they comply with the stop. Drivers should ever speed away from a attempted police stop however. Besides beig dagerous, it could lead to eve more trouble if the stop is beig eacted by a actual police officer.

The purchase of Chromebook carts, iteractive white boards, moitors, ad other techology for the classrooms was elimiated, with supplies beig level-fuded ad textbook purchases beig reduced. Buckley also proposed the elimiatio of the summer program for elemetary school studets, for a $30,072 savigs, ad cuttig $1,940 for the Bridge Academy. The biggest proposed reductios are the postpoemet of roof repairs at Newfoud Regioal High School ($800,000) ad asbestos abatemet ad tile replacemet at Newfoud Memorial Middle School ($143,000). The roof o the 30-yearold high school has bee leakig, ad tiles at the middle school are wellwor, with some of them bucklig. If they are replaced, it would expose asbestos, which would require abatemet. The district has placed a reewed emphasis o buildig maiteace, with a facilities committee established to come up with a pla for keepig buildigs i shape, after public oppositio to the school board s cosideratio of closig the middle school ad realigig the classrooms i other buildigs. The district has bee makig a umber of largely cosmetic improvemets while puttig together proposals to address the larger problems, such as the leakig roof at the high school. Widow replacemets ad tree-trimmig (except for hazardous cases) have bee elimiated from the proposed budget as well. The tax cap limits the icrease i the assessmet to the tows of the district to two percet. Spedig ca icrease more tha two percet, but those additioal costs have to be balaced by icreases i reveues. Istead, with the reductio i catastrophic aid, the district is hardpressed to meet cotractual obligatios such as the $248,042 icrease i teachers salaries ad $18,228 i retiremet stipeds. There will be a "Christmas Eve Cadlelight Service" o Dec. 24 at 7:30 p.m. All are ivited to this special service of carols, cadles, ad Scripture readigs. Sharig i this service ca be the most movig ad meaigful part of the holiday seaso. We hope you will joi us Christmas Eve ad also Christmas Morig, Dec. 25 at 10 a.m., whe Micro Park FROM PAGE A1 overlookig the sceic Newfoud River. Fiftee-year-old Reed Wilso of Bristol is a member of Boy Scout Troop 55 i Meredith, ad said that i his search for a meaigful Eagle Scout Project, he braistormed with Kerry Mattso of the Bristol Rotary Club. I thought I could build a gazebo i the square at first, but we realized there was t a lot of room for there. That s whe we came up with the idea of the micro-park just aroud the corer, Wilso said. The property, located adjacet to the Mill Fudge Factory o Cetral Street, was cleaed up through a Browfields Grat after the former Mica Buildig was tor dow several years ago. Wilso said he heard the tow had hopes to develop the property so he met with selectme to voluteer his services by creatig the park. They approved the project ad so did the Eagle Scout Board of Review, so o July 4, I got a crew together ad held a fudraiser at the fireworks dow o the lake, he said. We borrowed a smoker from my fried s dad ad sold pulled pork barbecue sadwiches. I just that oe ight I raised approximately $1,000. It was a really great team effort. From there, Wilso Parkig FROM PAGE A2 met of a ambulace. He said the tow is still catchig up o purchases it delayed durig the recessio, but the CIP provides a tool for evetually eveig out purchases through capital reserve fuds ad a we will joyfully focus o Jesus' birth arrative from the gospel with may rousig Christmas carols sug ad played. We welcome all to worship with us ad ejoy these holiday programs. We are located at 15 Church Street i Bristol. For further iformatio call the church office at or bristolucc@myfairpoit. et spet more tha 50 hours makig phoe calls, collectig doatios of materials for the park ad layig out his plas for the desig ad costructio process. The moey he raised over the summer covered the purchase of two graite beches ad a picic table to be placed o the waterfrot ad others chipped i to help with the ladscapig. Wilso said he was grateful to Emma s Pereials i Hill, which doated two trees to be plated alog the river. Bristol residets Shau Lagueux ad Hilda Bruo cotributed flowers ad plats for a garde, ad a local ladscape compay offered a truckload of mulch for the flowerbeds. Neighbors also pitched i by ledig his crew tools, geerators ad other equipmet eeded to get the job doe. Wilso atteds high school at Burke Moutai Academy i Vermot but retured home for his scheduled Work Day o Sept. 11. I the days leadig up to the costructio, the tow erected a wrought iro fece alog the river ad his father ad members of the tow Highway Departmet prepped ad leveled the groud for the ew park. A lot of people came by while we were workig o Suday to help out, too. There were family, frieds, people from tow ad eve residets of New Hampto. It was really awesome, Wilso said. Also ledig their efforts for the job were his fellow scouts ad good frieds from Troop 55. Oce completed, the park remaied closed util Wilso retured o Nov. 4 to make his fial presetatio to selectme. Soo thereafter the temporary orage fecig alog Cetral Street came dow ad the area was opeed to the public. Wilso said he takes a lot of pride i kowig he accomplished it all with o cost to the tow, except for the fecig alog the river, which was erected for safety purposes. The Tow of Bristol was also able to use some old graite slabs to divide the park from privately owed property beside it. It all came dow to oe big day with my crew. Before that, I was the oe who plaed the whole project, fud raised for it ad got aother $2,000 i doated goods, he said. I was just happy that I could do somethig that made a differece i dowtow Bristol. Tow Admiistrator Nicholas Coates said selectme have yet to ame the park, but that does t take aythig away from all the work Wilso put ito the project or the ejoymet it will ow brig to those who stop to ejoy the beauty of dowtow Bristol. replacemet schedule for equipmet. Oe cotroversial proposal that the CIP committee agai recommeded is settig up a capital reserve fud to purchase a police cruiser each year. Capital reserve fuds typically allow tows to set aside moey each year for large purchases i the future, but the CIP committee is proposig that the tow put moey ito a fud for withdrawal the same year as it cotiues to replace oe of the five cruisers each year. Selectme i the past have rejected that suggestio, which accoutats say ivolves a lot of extra work for what ormally would be hadled i a direct appropriatio. Milbrad oted that the CIP committee oly priorities expeditures ad makes a recommedatio, while the selectme are resposible for makig the decisios ad determiig how to fud them.

Back o top Late touchdow pass leads Bobcats to Divisio II title BY Sports Editor DURHAM It s wellkow that the Plymouth football team likes to ru the ball. But i the biggest momet of the seaso, with everythig o the lie o Saturday at the Uiversity of New Hampshire, coach Chris Sabor dialed up a pass play. Ad quarterback Brado Roy ad ruig back Garrett Macomber did the rest, as the duo coected o a 15-yard touchdow pass with 16 secods to go i regulatio to lift the Bobcats to a thrillig wi ad the team s first state champioship i the post-chuck Leaha era. You ve got to do what you eed to do to wi, Sabor said of the wiig play, which came followig a crucial pealty o Bow that moved the ball 15 yards closer to the ed zoe. It also came after the Bobcats had used all of their timeouts ad were i eed of a big play. They wo the champioship. It was t pretty at times, but I will take it. I do t really like throwig the ball, but sometimes you have to do it to wi the game, Sabor cotiued. The Macomber touchdow pass, oe of just two passes Roy Captais (l to r) Sam Slaughter, Chad Merrill ad Brado Roy hold the Divisio II champioship plaque aloft after the Bobcats defeated Bow o Saturday. threw o the day (both completios), did ot officially ed the game. After Day Carey s extra poit made it a threepoit game, Bow still had time ad coected o a huge pass ad accepted a Plymouth pealty to move the ball from the three to the 41. But two plays later, Colby Moore, sportig a cast o his had from a ijury suffered i the semifials, itercepted the last-ditch pass ad the Bobcats stormed the Coach Chris Sabor holds the champioship plaque as he addresses his team followig the Divisio II title game. field i celebratio. Seior captai Chad Merrill, who missed the etire year with a ijury, doused Sabor with the water bucket as the team celebrated o the UNH turf. I could t be happier for these seiors, Sabor said. I told them, if they wi the champioship, they wo t remember me yellig at them all year. The fas i attedace o champioship Saturday at the ew Wildcat Stadium certaily got their moey s worth from the Divisio II matchup, as both teams had their momets throughout the afteroo. Plymouth got first crack at the ball ad did t waste the opportuity, as they scored o the very first drive. It was a heavy dose of Macomber, the juior fullback who broke coach Mike Boyle s record for touchdows i a seaso ad also set the record for yards i a seaso, toppig 2,300 o the first drive. He coerted a third ad six by brigig the ball ear midfield ad the Roy coverted his first pass of the day to Toy Velez for aother first dow. Macomber the broke loose for a 27-yard rumble dow to the 10-yard lie ad the carried i from there, divig across the goal lie at the sidelie for the touchdow. Carey s extra poit bid wet wide i the arrower college goalposts but Plymouth had the 6-0 lead with less tha five miutes goe. Bow came back ad picked up a pair of first dows but a Colli Goodale iterceptio eded the drive. However, o Plymouth s first play, a fumble gave the Falcos the ball right back ad they coverted, ruig five plays before a 47-yard touchdow pass ad extra poit gave them a 7-6 lead with 2:50 to go i the first quarter. Plymouth puted away o the ext drive ad Bow ra out the clock o the first quarter. The Falcos cotiued their drive ito the secod quarter ad after a ice break-up by Coor Magowa o a pass attempt, the Falcos coected with a 14-yard touchdow pass ad booted the extra poit for a 14-6 lead with 9:52 to go i the first half. Plymouth had to put agai after three plays o the ext drive ad Bow came back with aother scorig drive. Despite a sack by Moore, Bow picked up three first dows ad got the ball iside the 15. However, Patrick Malm stuffed the Falcos o third ad four ad they had to settle for a 31-yard field goal to make it 17-6 with just three ticks uder three miutes to go i the half. Plymouth sprug to actio behid Magowa, with Macomber ursig a ijury o the sidelie. Magowa got the call o four plays i a row ad o fourth ad oe, he broke free for a 56-yard touchdow ru with 50 secods go to i the half. He the got the two-poit coversio as well ad the lead was cut to 17-14, where it stayed util halftime. Sabor praised Magowa for beig ready for his big momet whe it came. He has t really gotte the carries ad that ca be frustratig, Sabor said. But today, we wet to him, he had his momets ad he had a couple of big rus. Bow opeed the secod half with a drive that icluded two first dows, but a fourth ad three pass fell icomplete ad Plymouth got the ball back. However, the Bobcats also were t able to geerate a scorig chace ad puted away. The defese of Moore, Goodale ad Isaiah Crae stuffed Bow o the ext drive ad the Falcos also puted away. With Macomber ad Magowa doig the work, Plymouth fiished out the third quarter with a trio of first dows ad opeed the fourth quarter o the 37-yard lie. Macomber picked up aother first dow ad Magowa also picked up a first dow. A pealty helped set Plymouth up at the six-yard lie ad Macomber carried i from there with 9:36 to go, givig Plymouth a lead. Bow did t back dow, however, despite Goodale stoppig a scree pass i the backfield o the very first play of the ext drive. Bow drove dow the field ad put the ball i the ed zoe from three yards out with 4:02 remaiig to take the lead. Calmly, the Bobcats took over agai ad Macomber ad Jorda Doce had carries, movig the ball up the field for a first dow. Macomber carried three more times to get the ball over midfield for aother first dow ad the picked up aother first dow with 48 secods to go at the 30-yard lie. He got the call o first ad 10 ad a facemask pealty o the Falcos moved the ball to the 15. After Macomber was stopped o first dow ad the Bobcats fiished their timeouts, Roy hit Macomber o secod ad 10 for the 15- yard touchdow. Carey s extra poit made it ad the Moore s iterceptio sealed the Divisio II title for the Bobcats. We started great, but they we started makig mistakes, Sabor said. But I thought we could keep ruig it ad do what we do. Ad the coach praised the people resposible for pavig the way. What it comes dow to is the boys i the treches, Sabor said. The guys up frot played their tails off, that was the key to our game ad our seaso. I ca t say eough about them, the Bobcat coach cotiued, otig Tyler Morriso, Rowa Drew, Cody Campbell, Dyla Hixo ad Drew Hodges were istrumetal i Macomber s moster seaso ad i the title game wi. After the first game with Bow, our kids said that was the best lie they d played all year, Sabor said. They are a well-coached team. They are fudametally strog ad they executed well.
