D-NH at the Groveton United Methodist Church in Groveton Thursday
meets constituents in Groveton on Thursday
New Hampshire’s newly elected Democratic Congresswoman for District 2 was in the North Country Thursday taking notes as she met and heard from the agriculture and forestry community about the federal impacts they face for their small businesses
Get unbiased nonprofit watchdog news sent directly to your inbox
From tariffs impacting milk and fertilizer prices
to the H2A temporary foreign worker agricultural visa program to delays to get into USDA slaughterhouses
to dealing with agricultural equipment manufacturers requiring their licensed techs do repairs
Goodlander said she wanted to be of assistance and has experience taking on corporate abuse of power
“I really am here to listen and learn from you,” she said at the meeting at the Groveton United Methodist Church
Goodlander is a Nashua native who grew up next to her grandfather’s farm
though she noted that one of her favorites
called her hometown in the southern area of the state “Dixie,” which got a laugh
Goodlander said she hoped this would be the first of many such gatherings around a big table where she could learn about their issues and take that back to Washington
She was asked to come by for the first time by the NH Farm Bureau Federation and the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association
The sort of a get-to-know-you event here was organized by former Fish and Game Executive Director and North Country farmer Scott Mason
Goodlander asked how many find the tariffs working for them
executive director of the NH Timberland Owners Association
said a big issue for his members is workforce related
noting a bill coming up in Washington that could help by allowing 16 year olds to get involved in the harvesting of timber
But noted the big issue for his 1,000 members is trade and tariffs.
“I don’t want this to be a trade and tariff gripe session but the impacts of it are just severe
We have mills idling because they literally cannot move wood
Because of this market upheaval,” Stock said
Farmers also said they are facing drastic milk price fluctuations and labor shortages which are not improving with the nation’s immigration policy
Without speaking of Republican President Donald Trump by name
his policies related to trade and immigration were the subject of ire.
“This little tariff thing has cost us two fifty three dollars a hundred weight
for a farm our size that’s a hundred thousand a month
Just like that,” said Scott Forbes of Lancaster
He has operated one of the largest dairy farms in the state along with his family since 1902
Forbes Farm has about 1,300 milking cows who each produce about 10 gallons of milk each week which goes to the Hood plant in Concord and is part of a dairy cooperative.
Forbes said the volatility of milk prices is one of the biggest issues
while he pays up to $30 an hour and has 35 employees
“There isn’t help enough around here to do the jobs,” he said
“I don’t want to get into the immigration issue,” Forbes said
“but we got to because there ain’t many farms in the United States who don’t use migrant labor
We have to do something to fix this problem
You got to have them…but they need to be 100 percent legal
But they can’t work on this H2A visa
You can’t go ten months with a man then two months without him
who is going to feed the cattle for two months
That’s the problem with that program.”
said we are going to have to make a decision in this country: “are we going to bring in our labor or bring in our food?”
Another potential issue the federal government could get involved in relates to agricultural equipment makers like John Deere requiring service of equipment they sell to farmers to be serviced by them or a licensed technician
the Federal Trade Commission and five states joined a suit against Deere & Co
alleging an unlawful monopoly which adds unnecessary costs and delays for farmers
Noting on Forbes’ ball cap the John Deere logo
Goodlander said she is not a friend of John Deere
“I am no friend of lobbyists and I am no friend of the big corporations
The work I did in the Justice Department was focused on taking on monopolists and corporate abuse of power
And when you look at the agricultural industry
there is really no more consolidated industry in America
There is a lot of work we have to do,” she said
farmer and beef rancher in West Milan and former member of the NH Fish and Game Commission introduced Goodlander
is president of the Coos County Farm Bureau Board of Directors
Tichy said right now it is hard for a small farm to get their meat processed and sold
The farm bureau is working on some legislation “to allow a home farm or slaughterhouse to do some other stuff instead of having to go right directly through and have a federal inspector,” he said
New Hampshire state president of the Farm Bureau
said there is a delay for those raising their own animals and booking out a year or two
It really spiked during COVID-19 and had a middleman problem in getting it to the consumer
the New Hampshire House of Representatives passed House Resolution 18 urging the congressional delegation to allow small scale slaughterhouse plants to use the Federal Meat Inspection Act’s Custom Exempt meat processing inspection criteria with third-party inspectors rather than having to go to one of the four USDA approved slaughter plants in New Hampshire.
Brady said during COVID-19 small local meat producers had a lot of food but couldn’t get it to the consumers because of the “middleman.”
the USDA was a middleman,” Goodlander asked
“but the problem we are having now is the state doesn’t have a state meat program
So if you want to sell an individual it has got to be slaughtered by USDA
Cuts are purchasing portions of animals from farms as listed in https://www.nhfarmbureau.org/agriculture/meat_listing/)
Tichy thanked Goodlander for coming and opening a dialogue.
“I am truly pleased that one of our representatives in Washington can take the time to come up and listen to us,” Tichy said.
“This part of New Hampshire is our home
These are the industries that we work and we live for
We struggle to compete with large corporations
overwhelming regulations at times and to be honest the insignificance
of our voices and our votes compared to the population centers.”
He said that “everyone around the state wants to use our land to recreate for nothing but no one wants to hear about how we struggle to pay our taxes and our insurance
I hope we can continue to count on you,” Tichy concluded
“Once they get to Washington they kinda get stuck there,” he said of past congressmen and women
you can count on me,” Goodlander said
“I’ve always loved and believed in the North Country,” she said
“I hope this is going to be the first of many conversations.”

Former Lufkin offensive coordinator Scott Green
presents the team's Offensive MVP award to Isaiah Phillips at the 2018 banquet at the Pitser Garrison Convention Center
Green was named the head coach and athletic director of Groveton High School Thursday
who has served as Lufkin’s offensive coordinator since 2003
has been named head football coach and athletic director at Groveton
Green takes over a program that has a strong history but has had three coaches in the past four years
Green will look to bring stability to the program
“Groveton has always had a great tradition
I’ve had friends here all the way back to when Bob Wager (head coach at Groveton from 2001-05) was there,” Green said
“I’ve spent a lot of time there and I’ve started some track meets for them
The good thing is that I have some connections still employed in Groveton
“I’ve always kept up with Groveton because of the relationships I have there
It’s a great opportunity for me and my family and I’m looking forward to putting together a great staff and going to work.”
attended Southern Arkansas University and Stephen F
Austin and was hired in Lufkin by coach John Outlaw in 1996
He took over as offensive coordinator in 2003
Green continued as offensive coordinator when Todd Quick became head coach in 2012
Green talked about what his time in Lufkin has meant to him
“I’ve had the opportunity to work with two great men in coach Outlaw and coach Quick
This is an opportunity for me now that I can take and develop my own and use the knowledge and things they taught me,” Green said
“I always tell everybody that I’m one of the luckiest Texas high school football coaches because I’ve been fortunate enough to call Lufkin home for 29 years
“We’ve had a great staff that had the opportunity to be together for a long time
I worked for two guys that let me coach and do my job and I love the responsibility that they gave me
which is going to help me be successful where we’re headed now.”
Green takes over a program that uncharacteristically struggled last season
The Indians went 0-10 with Mike Waldie as coach
the Indians were 8-3 in Matthew Woodard’s second year
Richard Steubing was head coach from 2018-21
with the team’s best record coming in 2019 at 11-3
with the Indians going four rounds deep in the playoffs
The Indians have a rich tradition dating back to the 1980s and 1990s
Green knows their history and is looking to regain that pride and tradition
they have some good groups coming through,” Green said
“It’s a program that has a lot of pride and tradition
I think they’re looking for a guy to come in that’s hungry and give them the opportunity to shine
“I’ve had some long conversations with superintendent (Jim) Dillard and I think we’re going to get along real well
That’s one of the things I learned from working with coach Outlaw and coach Quick is to surround yourself with good people and good things happen,” Green said
“You always want to make sure your people enjoy their job
So that’s probably my number one goal is to establish that and everything else is going to take care of itself
“Everybody’s got a path and I believe the good Lord is always in control and pray that he’d put us where he wanted us to be and that’s where we are

Members of the Groveton High School girls basketball team celebrate after winning the school’s 17th state title with a 36-33 win over Littleton on Saturday
NEW LONDON — It usually never works out too well if a team doesn’t get any field goals in the fourth quarter of a championship game and that’s where upset-minded Groveton found themselves in the final minutes against undefeated Littleton in Saturday’s Division IV girls basketball title game
and yet the Eagles were able to seal a championship victory in improbable fashion
Third-seeded Groveton was outscored 9-3 in the fourth quarter with its only points coming on free throws
but the cushion it built in the third proved to be enough to survive in a 36-33 decision over No
“Keeping our composure was the biggest thing
I think,” Groveton junior Delaney Whiting said
“We came out kind of flat in that fourth quarter
not even trying to score but we just kept going.”
Groveton (20-2) avenged a pair of regular season losses to Littleton (21-1) to claim the program’s first title since 2013
Groveton’s 17 overall state championships is the most since New Hampshire girls basketball started in 1970
Tim Haskins has coached Groveton to six of those championships in 19 seasons
which included four straight from 2008-2011
They brought a ton of pressure and they kind of had us rattled a little bit,” Haskins said
“We held our composure enough and got the ball in the right hand to finish it off.”
Groveton built a 33-24 cushion heading into the fourth quarter by closing out the third with an 11-4 run that began with a 3-pointer from Kaycee Chappell and ended with a drive by Whiting
“There were two or three players they were keying on and we had other players step up and get baskets,” Haskins said
“Thank God because that gave us just enough cushion we needed in the fourth quarter.”
Nobody scored in the fourth until Addison Hadlock (10 points) recorded back-to-back hoops midway through the quarter before Julia Chappell’s free throw gave Groveton its first point of the quarter and 34-30 lead with 2:40 remaining
Littleton put itself in position to pull off the comeback when Julieann Bromley drained a 3-pointer to bring the Crusaders to within 34-33 and a steal by Addison Pilgrim gave them back the ball
Littleton was called for a double dribble with 17.6 seconds remaining
“We played like the two best teams all year in our division so it was only fitting,” Littleton coach Dale Prior said
“At the end of the third quarter and beginning of the fourth we missed a lot of shots that we normally make all season
which entered the game on a 43-game winning streak
had no choice but to foul Mylie Kenison (10 points) with 14 seconds left and she sank both free throws to give Groveton a 36-33 lead
Bromley and Pilgrim missed 3-point attempts to seal Groveton’s championship
Once I made the first one I knew I could make the second,” Kenison said
“It was stressful coming in here because we knew they were going to give us a good game and they did

Concord Christian center Ben Whitten (center) and Groveton forward Hunter Parks (right) fight for a rebound during first half action on Thursday night
2 Concord Christian Academy Kingsmen hosted and beat No
in the D-IV boys’ basketball playoffs on Thursday night
advancing to the semifinals and extending their unbeaten streak to 20 games
The Kingsmen have blown their competition out of the water all season
teams have been showing up ready to slay giants and taken them down to the wire in tight games
15 Pittsburg-Canaan throughout most of the game thanks to their impressive depth
Against the Eagles in Thursday’s quarterfinal
they did not have to rely on their depth as much
but that’s because the game was too close to risk not having their best on the court
CCA found its groove and went ahead five points after the first quarter
Senior guard TJ Charbono lit it up from the perimeter and knocked down four 3s in the first half to put his team ahead
Groveton’s fight continued in the second half
boosted by their very loud and large crowd that drowned out the Kingsmen’s fans at home
The Eagles generated more turnovers with a full-court press and forward Ashton Kenison scored 10 for Groveton by making tough shots all over the court to keep his team in the game
but they still had a ton of fans they packed it
our ability to slow it down and just control the game
trusted their ball movement and stayed ahead
and pretty much every one of the CCA players hauled in a pair of rebounds throughout the game as they constantly switched off and on the ball to disrupt the Eagles
we have to remember how we play and a big part of it is just maintaining our composure and staying calm in the chaos,” Farland said
“That’s the message that I give my guys all the time
if you want to be a great team in those tense moments
Sophomore guard Luke Farland and Charbono distributed the ball well to get their teammates into good positions and all five of the Kingsmen showed their strengths defensively
contesting well in the paint and tipping tons of passes around the perimeter
Charbono ended the night with 23 points and Farland followed him closely with 16 points
The tricky thing for CCA will be to continue facing opponents from up north that they have not faced in the regular season
Pittsburg-Canaan and the Eagles both gave them trouble at times
and part of that is the unfamiliarity with the teams
and much tougher opponent – last year’s runner-up and this year’s No
3 Littleton (17-3) – on Monday night at Laconia High School
Concord Christian will tip off its biggest test of the season at 5:30 p.m
as the Kingsmen look to stay undefeated and punch a ticket to the D-IV championship
“Same as it was tonight and that is playing the kind of defense we want to play
making the other team uncomfortable and playing the offense that we brought playing our style of basketball
I think those are going to be the keys,” coach Farland said

Groveton's Wyatt Snead (4) and Gunner Willson (35) bring down Grapeland's Sean Walker short of the endzone in a game last season
Groveton’s Wyatt Snead returns a fumble for a touchdown against Lovelady
Groveton football fans in 2023 experienced a real treat: A high-powered
high-scoring offense leading to some big-time wins and a whole lot of excitement
The Tribe posted five games with more than 40 points scored — eclipsing the 50-point mark three times — en route to a 7-4 season
including a 4-1 record in district play and a playoff appearance
The Indians graduated 14 letterman from last year’s team and will return just four starters on offense for new head coach Mike Waldie
Groveton will be looking for some leadership on offense from a pair of linemen and quarterback Ty Torregrossa
“We’ve got a couple of senior offensive linemen that we’re expecting a lot from,” Waldie said
“Cash Moore is a senior playing some at left tackle and center
and we always need someone there that can snap
He’s a big kid and will probably start on both sides of the ball
At quarterback the Indians are looking at Torregrossa to step into the starting role
“He’s kind of separated himself and is definitely penciled in as the starting quarterback,” Waldie said
a real athletic kid and throws a good ball
is learning the offense and is starting to show some leadership.”
the Indians have a pair of weapons in Armando Bautista and Wyatt Snead
athletic outside receiver and he’ll start on defense too
He’s one of the stronger kids mentally that we have,” Waldie said
“Wyatt is listed as an athlete on the roster because he’s playing running back
We may be putting a little too much on him
but we’re trying to make sure teams can’t gameplan against him and we’re putting him in different places.”
Bautista and Snead are all slated to start on defense
Cox at defensive end and Bautista and Snead in the secondary
Returning on the defensive line is junior nose tackle Trystin Ard
the strongest kid in the program and really hard to block,” Waldie said
one of our running backs too and he’s unblockable at times in our interior drills.”
At middle linebacker the Indians have junior Gunner Wilson
“Gunner gets us set and really handles the quarterback role on the defensive side of the ball,” Waldie said
He’s a true old-fashioned inside linebacker.”
“He’s a rover type player and we move him around and he’s got a lot of heart and he’s a tough kid,” Waldie said
Waldie had been head coach at Woodville and Daingerfield prior to being at Bryan
“We’ve got two smaller boys and we’re small town people
it was exactly what we were looking for,” Waldie said
“We were blessed to get the job and we’re excited to be here.”
Waldie says he’s aware of the winning tradition and success the Groveton program has had
“Coming from a place like Daingerfield with nine state championships
I know what it’s like to be at a place with multiple state championships
playing for six and winning three here,” Waldie said
“You talk about some legends here with Scotty Phillips and Don Hill and some of those guys
I’m just honored to follow in the footsteps of some absolute legends in Texas high school football
you learn a little bit more about the rich tradition and the expectations are something that we are going to our best to uphold and just appreciate every day that we’re here.”
Strengths of team: Offensive and Defensive Lines
Weaknesses: Lack of experience at skill positionsd
