Recent reviews:
February 11, 2015 - I bought this for my (at the time) 11mo old Neopolitan Mastiff puppy (his Christmas present) and he looooves it! He's approx 150lbs and he carries his ducky with him all day....I have to keep bringing it back in the house because he kept taking it to potty with him and he leaves it when a bird or squirrel needed to be barked at. Anyway, it's been thoroughly chewed & is missing an arm or 2 so I'm back to buy him another one. It's lasted far longer than many so called tough toys, I'm thrilled with it & I don't think I can throw the old 1 away until he's gets a new 1. Love it!!!
September 10, 2014 - I washed this first,because normally my granddog doesn;t like this material. However, he is absolutely in love with it. It has become his favorite toy. He is a Westy and has a big bite. It has not torn yet.

Streetcar Company preparing for spring production of 'Barnum'
LACONIA — The cast and crew of The Streetcar Company's upcoming presentation of the circus musical "Barnum", have been hard at work preparing for opening night. "Barnum", a popular and long running musical both on Broadway and in London will be presented at Inter-Lakes High School Friday through Sunday, May 1-3rd.
After well attended auditions in January director J. Alward has assembled a cast of veterans and newcomers that include: Bo Guyer in the title role of Barnum (the same role he played 25 years ago), Lynn Dadian as Charity Barnum, Chris Fernandez as the Ringmaster, Karen Jordan as Jenny Lind, Patte Sarusky as Joice Heath, Ceci Zarella as the Blues Singer, and Abby Jutton as Tom Thumb. The ensemble is filled with talented local actors and singers who play the various people that come in and out of the life of Barnum, circus performers, and cool animal acts.
Providing the choreography and creating the circus acts will be long time Streetcar regular Erin Lovett Sherman. Another Streetcar regular Johan Anderson will provide the vocal instruction and Phil Bretton will be playing the piano and creating the other musical sounds.
Director Alward and producer Raelyn Cottrell are working with the production staff to fine tune the behind the scenes arrangements that help pull the show together. Some of those heading up the various positions include Aaron Witham designing the set, Peter Ayer will be collecting the props, and Yvette Lazdowski will be designing and making the costumes.

PSU launching 5-year, 2-degree accounting program
PLYMOUTH — Accounting students now have an opportunity to put their careers on a fast track through Plymouth State University's five-year accounting program. Students can earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree in accounting through the five-year program, in addition to being well-prepared for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examinations. PSU's College of Business Administration Dean Trent Boggess said the program reflects the needs of students and the financial services industry.
"Accounting is a growing field and there is an incredible demand for accountants, but becoming one is not an easy task," Boggess said. "Our motivation for adding the Master of Science in Accounting degree is to create a five-year program that better meets the needs of our students and the state of New Hampshire."
New Hampshire recently increased the licensing requirements for new CPAs; they are now required to have 150 credit hours in addition to passing all four parts of the CPA exam, and need one year of professional accounting experience prior to being certified. Tom Guarino, an accounting professor at PSU and CPA, noted that the five-year program prepares students both academically and for the rigorous exam process.
"The fifth year, which is a 30-credit master's of science in accounting program, not only increases a student's knowledge but also prepares them for the CPA exam," Guarino said. "The goal is that students will be able to start taking and passing the CPA exam within their fifth year. Adding another year to their education at PSU is a "win-win" for students because it solves the need to get the additional credits now required for a CPA and a master's degree in accounting, which really puts them ahead of other graduates trying to find jobs in accounting."
Furthermore, the fifth year can be taken online, which is crucial to those already working in the field.
"Having the fifth year available online provides students with the flexibility to work a full-time job while attending school," added Guarino.
Becoming a CPA is an arduous task, but the field is a lucrative one. According to Robert Half Management Resources, a financial industry staffing services leader, an entry-level CPA generally earns between $45,000 to $55,000 annually.
"What everybody wants to know is, is getting my degree worth it? The answer is yes, particularly in accounting," asserts Boggess. "You have to work hard, but you will have a direct path to a good job. Our graduates, because they emerge so well trained, are avidly sought after by accounting firms. Our best students start getting job offers in the fall of their senior year, and virtually all of our accounting graduates get jobs shortly after they graduate."
Graduates of Plymouth State's accounting program have a sterling record of success. Larry Haynes '86 is the president and CEO of the Grappone Automotive Group, one of New Hampshire's largest automotive retailing groups. Prior to joining Grappone, he worked for Deloitte & Touche, First NH Bank and the MEG Companies in various financial and accounting positions. Jane Poulin '84, Associate Chief Accountant, US Securities and Exchange Commission, is an executive with 27 years of experience in finance, accounting, internal controls and processes, audit, regulation and corporate governance involving international public companies.

Ebooks now accessible at Year-Round Library
GILMANTON — The Gilmanton Year-Round Library is now offering access to Ebooks. Librarian Tasha LeRoux Stetson tells patrons: "If you already have a library card all you need to do is make a quick stop at gyrla.org and follow the link to start your search For any questions regarding your account information please call 603-364-2400 and we will be happy to assist you."
Over the past years the Library has received numerous requests from patrons to add e-book service to the library. Tasha continues: "After we did the initial research we were sad to have to say no but the cost was too high for our budget. Each year we have revisited this idea and when we received information stating we were one of the only towns in the entire state not offering this service, we knew we had to make a change.
'It is our belief the residents of Gilmanton NH are equally as deserving as the rest of New Hampshire's residents. Seeing we were below the curve again pushed us to find a way to make it happen. Through generous and continued donations we were able make this small dream a reality.
'It gives us great pleasure to be able to bridge the gaps, offer access and create equal opportunities for the citizens of this town. So, stop on by and try out this new service. No Kindle at home? Did you know you can read an ebook on your phone too? Let us show you how "

Stevie Wonder: Is Frank Ocean Gay or Simply Confused?
BY Michelle Garcia
August 31 2012 3:09 PM ET
Music legend Stevie Wonder says that Frank Ocean may not be gay but instead could be simply confused over his sexual orientation.
Ocean publicly wrote about the first time he fell in love with a man in conjunction with the release of his much-praised solo album, Channel Orange, earlier this summer. However, Ocean has not spoken very much about his revelation since July.
Wonder said that he doesn't believe that all gay people are confused over their sexual orientation, but that Ocean may be.
"I think honestly, some people who think they're gay, they're confused," Wonder said in an interview with The Guardian. "People can misconstrue closeness for love. People can feel connected, they bond ... Some people have a desire to be with the same sex. But that's them."
Wonder said he likes Ocean, whose album debuted at number 2 on the Billboard charts, selling 131,000 copies in its first week, according to MTV.

Shepparton rail group on right track
A reference group advocating for improved Goulburn Valley train services has met for the first time.JENNA BISHOP August 19, 2014 3:27am
The first meeting of a reference group designed to improve passenger rail services has been deemed a success.
The Shepparton Passenger Services Working Group had its first meeting on August 14 after Victorian Deputy Premier Peter Ryan established it in July.
Group chairwoman Jeanette Powell said the group had established additional services were needed and were working to determine when they should run.
''It was a really positive meeting and very productive,'' she said.
''We had each of the community representatives give a presentation on current services and what they would like to see with enhanced services.''
Mrs Powell said a number of different groups had done community surveys, which would form part of the group's research.
''The Department of Transport will also review the surveys to see what people are saying they would like for extended services,'' she said.
Mrs Powell said the group would look at determining when extra services would be most beneficial, as diff-erent groups had identified different times of the day for preferred additional services.
She said the facilities available to passengers would also be reviewed, as many survey respondents had said the waiting room was too small, with little seating.
The group will next meet on August 28.
It will meet twice in September and twice in October before presenting its recommendations to Transport Minister Terry Mulder.
''We want to present in October so we have room for any budgetary opportunities,'' Mrs Powell said.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington was not about to question himself Friday over Yu Darvish's recent workload.
Especially since Darvish felt fine after throwing a career-high 130 pitches Thursday night against Detroit.
Washington had no qualms about sending his ace back to the mound in the eighth inning against the Tigers even though the Rangers had a 10-4 lead.
"Not going to second-guess myself," Washington said Friday night. "Not going to do it."
