Law Enforcement Officers Will Take A Dip for Special Olympics

LACONIA — Sunday March 10 is Dip Day in Laconia. That is when Special Olympics New
Hampshire (SONH) holds its third winter water sport fundraiser of the season, the Winni Dip, at the Margate.
Members of New Hampshire's Law Enforcement community, local high school students, faculty and staff and other brave individuals will go for a "dip" in Lake Winnipesaukee. The Winni Dip is part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run, a year round partnership between the agency and the state's public safety officials that raises funds and awareness for the athletes of SONH.
Mark Ericson and Karen Kiley of WOKQ's Morning Waking Crew will be the Masters of Ceremonies for the
Winni Dip again this year. A few notable members of the law enforcement community will participate:
• Attorney General Mike Delaney, 4th Year Dipper
• Dick Tracy, Criminal Investigator, Office of the Attorney General
• Chief Doug Moorhead from Woodsville, the Winni Dip's top fundraiser
"The partnership between Special Olympics and New Hampshire's Law Enforcement is a great one, the
members of LETR help us throughout the year by raising funds and awareness for our organization, they
also help at many of our events by handing out medals to our athletes, and participating in ceremonies at
SONH competitions," said Mary Conroy, SONH President. Conroy went on to say, "The partnership simply
makes Special Olympics better."
Sunday's schedule starts with Dipper check-in from 9-11 a.m., with a "Cops & Robbers" Costume Parade
at 11 a.m. and the first wave of dippers enter the water at noon.
All dippers enjoy the Post-Dip Lunch & Celebration and will receive an event pull-over or hoodie.

Belmont Candidates Night on Channel 26

BELMONT — The Candidates Night organized by Belmont High School's National Honor Society, featuring candidates for Shaker Regional School Board and the Town of Belmont, will be shown on Lakes Region Public Access Television, LRPA-TV channel 26 this weekend, on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. and Sunday at 8 a.m.
The program began airing earlier this week on the Wednesday 7:30 p.m. prime time hours, dedicated to Belmont for local government use since April. Length is one hour and 15 minutes.
Producer and moderator of the program was BHS senior Austin Wilder, with freshman Andrew Bragg as videographer. Both students volunteered their time as community and public service. LRPA-TV executive director Denise Beauchaine recognized their assistance along with support from Interim Principal at the school, Dan Clary.
"There's a reason access is in our name," she says, of the non-profit, independent community television station. We're accessible because of the cable franchise, community funding and interest. It's a credit to the students and school that this informative evening will now reach more Belmont residents, as some of the 55,000 MetroCast subscribers."
