ConVal’s Molly Dishong swept the Division II championship races at Crotched Mountain on Wednesday, her hard work and dedication to ski racing paying off big at her home mountain.
“It was nice being at my home mountain and running on a trail I was really comfortable on,” Dishong said after the race.
The Francestown junior – already a champion after winning the DII slalom race at Mount Sunapee last winter – finished first in all four of ConVal’s regular season races, but Wednesday saw her go head-to-head with stiffer competition. Kennett’s Ashley Garside, the defending DII giant slalom champ, edged out Dishong in the first GS run with a blistering 33.52 to Dishong’s 33.70. Dishong, who hadn’t faced a deficit all season, said that first-run defeat let her know exactly what she had to do on the second run. Focused, she skied – flawlessly – and beat Garside by two-tenths of a second, overturning t

Temple residents are now scheduled to vote on ConVal’s warrant and elect town officials on March 9, a reversal of the Select Board’s unanimous vote last Monday to postpone voting until June out of concerns for COVID-19.
The Board reversed course at a meeting on Friday after the town’s legal counsel determined the town did actually have to vote on the school district’s warrant in March. All of the other eight towns in the ConVal School District opted to keep to the March 9 voting date prior to Temple’s decision.
Although Temple could have continued to postpone local elections until June, Select Board Chair Ken Caisse said he thought it made more sense to just do it all in March. “If it was to have a vote just for the School Board, we wouldn’t have any kind of turnout,” he said. The decision to hold the vote for town officials in March passed two to one, with Select Board member Bill Ezell objecting, Caisse

The Temple Select Board’s unanimous vote to postpone Town Meeting and ballot voting until June leaves Temple as the sole ConVal town to defer voting on the school district warrant.
The remainder of the nine towns which make up the ConVal district are scheduled to vote on the school warrant on March 9. On Monday night, Temple’s Select Board voted to reschedule voting on the school warrant and local officials to June 8 and to defer their Town Meeting to June 12. Legal review is ongoing, Select Board member Bill Ezell said, but Temple interpreted the wording of the Governor’s executive order to mean they could postpone voting for their school district’s warrant as well as town-specific items. In the instance that Temple learns the law does, in fact, require the town to vote on the school warrant on March 9, “we are going to protest loudly,” he said.
