NEW DURHAM – Browsing Al Fresco at the New
Durham Public Library means patrons can check
out books during Porch Pick-up Hours.
Synopses of the most recent fiction books, along
with pictures of the covers, are on laminated sheets
on the lobby table.
“Patrons can always go to our online catalog and
reserve books,” Library Director Cathy Allyn said,
“but this way mimics looking at the book and read-
ing the inside cover.”
Patrons can see at a glance which books are avail-
able and can ring the bell for assistance.
“The staff member on duty will check-out the
book right then,” Allyn said.
The library follows strict protocols when han-
dling books, including masking up and hand wash-
ing before touching. Returned books are held in
quarantine for three days.
Copying and faxing services are available, also.
Call the library at 859-2201 for more information.
Porch Pick-up Hours are Monday 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.,

SECTION A, PAGE 4 THE BAYSIDER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2020
The need to
unplug
Oftentimes, our ideas for editorials arise when
something close to us personally surfaces that hits
home, or when we hear a significant amount of chat-
ter about a specific topic. This week, the chatter has
been about national news overload.
We love the news — after all, it’s what we do. Shar-
ing information with our readers on the local level is
both an honor and a necessity. This week, however,
we have heard many people say they just can’t listen
to the national news anymore. They feel bombarded,
often times leaving them feeling depressed and over-
whelmed. News junkies watch the news every morn-
ing and night, check their Twitter feeds, listen to talk
radio on their commutes and are constantly in the
know. It’s important and responsible to be aware
of what’s happening around you, however finding a
balance is key, even for those of us in the businesses.
It seems as though the national news cycle has
been nothing but chaos over the past several years,
especially with regard to the current presidential
election. Relentless statistics about the COVID-19
pandemic and negative commentary trying to pass
itself off as analysis of the candidates and their plat-
forms seems to ping our phones almost on the min-
ute. This can be exhausting.
As a way to catch your breath, pick one day of the
week as a ‘no news’ day, sort of like a news siesta.
Get outside, unplug, read a book, listen to some vinyl
or watch Cobra Kai (we do recommend for a splash
of nostalgia). Attempt to shut off the little magic box
we all stare at way too much on the daily. Could
landlines actually still serve a purpose?
If you feel like you can’t make a difference, realize
that you can. First, it goes without saying, get out
and vote. Second, do something every day to make
the world a better place, even if that means your own
little world. Such actions result in the domino effect.
Take some time to count the blessings in your life.

Kennett’s 232.
“We were able to play another really solid round
today,” Fuller said. “But we have more work to pre-
pare for the state championships.”
At North Conway Country Club, Henry Saun-
ders, playing from the top spot in the lineup, tied
for medalist honors with Ben Daugherty of Kennett,
finishing with a 37. He made two birdies, including
a 30-foot putt for birdie on the first hole after his ap-
proach landed on the front of the green.
Will Danais, playing from the second spot in the
lineup, finished with a 38, including a birdie on the
seventh hole and four pars during the round.
“He has been very solid for us this year,” Fuller
said. “He is always working to get better and never

that trait and it will serve him well as he continues

Michael Palmer in the third spot and Tyler
Sprince in the fourth spot played together and both
finished with 40s for the day to count as the next two
scorers.
“I think it was one of Tyler’s better rounds he has
recorded as a Knight,” Fuller said. “He is becoming
a more consistent ball striker and hopefully that will
continue over the next two weeks.”
Reese Clarke finished with a 43 from the fifth spot
in the lineup to round out the scoring for Kingswood.
Justin Stirt had a 45 from the sixth spot, Brady
