1,115 Bow voters cast ballots at the town's continued Town Meeting .
Bow says no
Voters reject safety complex for third time
Overflow hardly describes the turnout at
Bow's continued Town Meeting last Thursday
night. Anticipating a large crowd, officials had
outfitted the cafeteria with video and sound for
those who could not fit in the autotorium. It
soon became apparent that even that would not
accommodate the 1,115 who attended. Officials
then hurriedly moved everything to the larger
gym.
Voters were there to reconsider their earlier
vote on a $5 million bond to build a proposed
public safety facility, as well as a petition warrant article to renovate the existing fire station,
which received a 376-200 majority but failed to
get the necessary 2/3 or 384 votes. Nearly twice
as many residents showed up this time, but
the result was the same, with 612 in favor and
503 opposed, failing to reach the 743 needed
to pass.
Voters did approve $35,000 to pay for
a design-build specification and request for
proposal for the proposed public safety building, which Selectman Eric Anderson called, "a
fallback position.” “In other words, this article
serves as a lifeline,” he said.
Also approved was $25,000 to hire firms
to develop options to renovate the existing fire
station and community building and $98,000
to purchase a dispatch radio and equipment for
the police department also passed. Rejected was
a petition article for $550,000 to renovate the
existing fire station and community building.
Confessed quadruple arsonist given only 100 days
Newport Police Chief Jim Burroughs and
area law enforcement personnel are frustrated
with the 100-day sentence given to a confessed
arsonist. Corey Hale was in Sullivan County
Superior Court last week, facing charges he set
fires at 11 Central Street, 6 Laurel St., 82 Maple
St. and 24 Sullivan St. in Newport on May 31st
of last year. Although Hale and County Attorney Mark Hathaway had agreed to a three year
prison term, Judge Brian Tucker sentenced Hale
to 100 days in the Sullivan County Correctional
Facility to complete the Trails program. “We
spend more time investigating cases than the
offenders spend in jail.” the Chief said.

Nonprescription medications are just as likely a

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Stivarga (regorafenib) to treat patients with colorectal cancer that has progressed
after treatment and spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in men and women and
the third leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the
United States. The National Institutes of Health estimates 143,460
Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and 51, 690
will die from the disease in 2012. In August 2012, the FDA approved
Zaltrap (ziv-aflibercept) for use in combination with a FOLFIRI (folinic acid, fluorouracil and irinotecan) chemotherapy regimen to treat
adults with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Group of St Anslem students observe Goffstown Selectmen's meeting
Monday's meeting, the Goffstown Selectmen welcomed Senator Lou D'Alessandro, a
professor at St. Anslem College and several
members of his government class to observe
local government in action.
Fire Chief Richard O'Brien appeared to
request that the Fire Department be given
the same exemption from the Communication Ordinance enjoyed by the police which
allows them to use hands-free phones while
they are responding to a call. Currently all
town employees, except police, are banned
from using cell phones while driving.
Police Chief Robert Browne and Sgt
Kerry Steckowych appeared to ask the
Board to adopt an ordinance regulating
pawn shops and second had consignment
stores. The chief indicated that his department has seen a 25% increase in property
crimes recently and this ordinance would
serve as a deterrence.
As proposed the ordinance carries a
$250 application fee and would require
those businesses to maintain surveillance
Man dies in Antrim house fire
A man died in a house fire in Antrim on
Tuesday night, according to authorities.
Crews were called to the home on Main
Street shortly before midnight. Firefighters
were met with heavy flames in the front of the
house. Officials said they found a man dead
in the kitchen area. His name has not been
released.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but a preliminary report indicates
the flames originated in a wood stove and
chimney area. It appears accidental. Officials
said there were no working smoke detectors
in the house. equipment covering the front door and sales
areas.
The Board also discussed Vice Chairman
Campasano's proposal for suggestion boxes.
The town would need to order 7 (3 Fire Stations, 1 Police, 1 DPW, 1 Town Hall, 1 Parks
& Recreation). The cost would be $403.48.
The Board needs to discuss and determine
the implementation process i.e. Where to
locate in each facility? Who will gather the
suggestions from the locked boxes? Who
will filter those suggestions that may be nonpublic in nature? Who will provide feedback
to department heads? Who will decide
which suggestions are worthy of implementation? Campasano also suggested the need
to compensate or reward employees who
provide cost-saving suggestions.

Town of Bow's insurance rating being reviewed
Bow's consultant, JLN and Associates,
has been gathering all types of available data
and information on the Fire Department’s
operations. The next step will be to develop a
study timeline and determine the dates that
JLN representatives will be coming to Town
to conduct meetings and interviews. The
tentative target start date is the beginning to
middle of April.
In a related story, International Services
Office, Inc. (ISO) has informed the Town
that they will be conducting a survey of the
Town’s Fire Department operations and a
site visit to determine the Town’s new Public
Protection Classification (PPC) .
This classification is one of several
components used in developing property
insurance premium calculations for many
individual properties in the Town.
The Town’s current PPC for fire is 6/9.
The 6 is on a scale of 10 with 1 being the best
and 10 the worst. The 9 means that the Town
has a creditable dispatch center and fire
department but no creditable water supply.
This rating was based on the last survey performed in 2009, before the Town’s new water supply system went on line and additional
fire cisterns were installed. The availability of
a municipal water supply and new cisterns
should help to boost the Town’s rating.

that all potential buyers were qualified and obligated to continue
operation of the plan. He concluded by saying that the power plant
will remain operational for at least five years.

Do New London Police spend too much time patrolling I-89?
Apparently a resident had complained
to Selectman Peter Bianchi that the Police
were spending too much time patrolling
Interstate 89, instead of concentrating their
efforts in town. At a recent meeting, New
London Police Chief Ed Anderson informed
the selectmen that he had researched the calls
for service on Interstate 89 in New London.
Since June 30 t0, 2002 the Department has
covered 106,486 calls for service. Of that, 638
calls were for service on Interstate 89. These
calls include but not limited to accidents,
Animal Complaints, Check the wellbeing of,
medical calls, suspicious activities, rolling
domestics, shots fired, traffic stops, which
could be officer initiated or from a bolo. These
638 calls for service total less than .06 % of
the total calls for service since 2002.
One major factor to look at is that we
have two major arteries that run through 89.
That is exit 11 and exit 12. If you clock a car
speeding or observe any other violation of law
on route 11 or Newport Road and they turn
onto the interstate we pursue them onto the
interstate and conduct the traffic stop when
we are finally able to stop the car.
In subzero the officers are asked to make
sure they check the interstate North and
South at least once on a midnight shift to
make sure there are no stranded motorists.
The interstate is also used to respond to parts
of town. For instant if an officer is at the park
and ride it is much quicker and safer to use
1-89 to get to the four corners than running
lights and sirens through town. It is not
unlikely for a resident to see a cruiser on the
interstate in New London as it is a main artery
in our community. Anderson said he does not
have an issue if an officer stops a car on the interstate, as it is part of the town. However, it is
a well understood rule that officers should be
spending the majority of their time patrolling
the back roads and main roads through town
as opposed to being on the interstate.
It was standing room only at Bradford's Town Meeting last Saturday.
$955,000 Bradford Town Hall restoration fails again
There were 27 articles on Bradford's Warrant this year and 25 of those
received voter approval. Unfortunately
for those supporting the restoration of
the Town hall, that article was not one of
them.
Selectmen John Pfeifle and Harry
wright presented the case for the
$955,000 appropriation with $850,000
raised in a bond or note. There was some
questioning about a possible LCHIP
Grant, but it was explained that such a
grant would not be approved without a
showing of community support for the
project.
After further discussion the polls
were opened and held open for an hour
as required for bond issues.The final tally
showed 144 yes vote to 79 no, just short of
the 149 needed for the required 2/3.

Elkins Club maintains wood duck boxes
On March 1, at the request of the New London Conservation
Commission, members of the Elkins Fish & Game Club cleaned
and replaced needed wood duck boxes at the Esther Currier
Wildlife Management Area at Low Plain. Maintenance work was
also completed on Pleasant Lake and Kidder Marsh. Because of the
heavy snow depth this year, an ATV, with treads, was used to move
from box to box. There are 14 boxes at Low Plain and 7 were used;
4 by wood ducks. Five of the 10 boxes were used on Kidder marsh.
Of the 27 boxes serviced, 14 were used. Over-harvesting and the
destruction of bottomland habitats drove these colorful birds to the
brink of extinction by the early 20th century. In 1937 the first duck
boxes were placed in Illinois . These proved so successful that since
then thousands of boxes have been built and erected. New London
is fortunate to have the ability to maintain wood duck boxes in
our area as these boxes, nationwide, have resulted in an increased
wood duck population. Our thanks go to Mike Gelcius , Ron Evans,
Bill Boyce and the Elkins Fish & Game Club.
Bow featured in the April Business NH

system and how it helped to attract the Exel project. The article will
appear in the April issue of the magazine.

the 4-Way Test: Is it the Truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build
goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Trio of angry bus drivers confront the Newport School Board
A trio of Newport school bus drivers, Kurt Minich, Tim Maynard and John
VanDenBerg, let the Newport School Board
know just how angry they were over over
the replacement of Transportation Director
Diane Callum with Chad Howe, husband of
Board member Shannon Howe. Appearing
at the last board meeting, the three drivers,
didn’t mince words in their displeasure.
Tim Maynard said, “You hired someone
not qualified to fill the position at $22 an
hour and we have to train him. Who is going to hold Mr. Howe accountable?”
Howe was hired to replace former
transportation director Diane Callum, a 20
year department veteran and its director
for the past 2 1/2 years, with Callum will be
staying on as a bus driver.
Howe’s annual salary of $45,000 was
also mentioned. John Maynard wanted to
know why Howe was being paid $8,000 to
$10,000 more than the person he replaced,
a woman. In response to a question by Kurt
Minich, Superintendent of Schools Cindy
Gallagher said she hired Howe and the
Newport School Board was not involved. In
fact, she said that there was one conversation during a non-public meeting of the
school board when the subject of the trans-
portation director’s position camp up and
Shannon Howe recused herself. VanDen
Berg summed up their feeling when he
said, “What this school board did was way
below average, I think it was wrong,”

Mother writes about child with disabilities
www.stonefallsgardens.com
Students in Pre-K through fourth grade at the Henniker Community School spent the day with author/illustrator Maryann CoccaLeffler today. Cocca-Leffler is the author and illustrator of over 50
books for children, including her newest book, Janine, the story of
her daughter Janine Leffler, who gave her mother permission to write
about her life as a child with disabilities. Both mother and daughter
hope this book will help encourage tolerance in all. Cocca-Leffler
shared her creative process of making a book with the Henniker
students and talked with them about how she gets ideas for her books.
She also showed them the highlights of artistic development from
scratch.
Let us help you design your garden!

Stark senior Jessie Osgood chosen for US Senate Youth Program
John Stark Senior Jessie Osgood of
Henniker recently returned from a week
in Washington, DC, as one of two New
Hampshire delegates to the 53rd annual
US Senate Youth Program.
Each year this extremely competitive,
merit-based program brings 104 of the
most outstanding high school students,
two from each state, the District of Columbia and the Department of Defense
Education Activity to Washington, DC,
for a week long study of the federal government and the people who lead it.
Ms. Osgood had the opportunity to
meet with the President, Barack Obama.
Additional speakers the delegates heard
from during the week included Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court Stephen
Breyer at the Supreme Court, President
of World Bank Group Jim Yong Kim,
Secretary of the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, and US
Senators from New Hampshire Jeanne
Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte.
The delegates also toured and had
lunch at the Pentagon and visited Mount
Vernon, NASA Headquarters, Lincoln
Memorial, and Vietnam Veterans Memo-
rial. One evening, the students went to
the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for a performance by The
National Symphony Orchestra.
“It was an incredible experience,” said
Ms. Osgood about the U.S. Senate Youth
Program. “As delegates we had the opportunity to get an intimate look at how
the nation’s government functions from
the perspective of a variety of high rank-
ing officials,” continued Ms. Osgood.
The mission of the program is to help
instill within each class of USSYP student
delegates a more profound knowledge of
the American political process and a lifelong commitment to public service. The
Hearst Foundations provide each student
with a $5,000 undergraduate scholarship
with encouragement to continue work in
government, history and public affairs.

Publisher’s Perspective
by Leigh Bosse
Random Ramblings
 Voter Turnout
I was amazed that 1,115 people turned
out for the second session of Bow's Town
Meeting, nearly doubling the attendance
at the original meeting. Across the country
voters seem more and more discouraged
and disappointed with government at
all levels with turnouts routinely below
50% and many as low as 20%. Yet, that
is exactly what generates the disappointment. Democracy works only if there is an
informed, motivated and actively involved
citizenry. The old saying, "Vote or don't
complain" is valid. Staying home only
doubles the vote of those who disagree with
you. I'm sure those on the losing side of
the Bow vote feel badly, but the town as a
whole should feel proud that citizens took
their role seriously.
 Character Counts
The Sunapee High School Cheerleaders were declared the winner of the N.H.
Division IV Championship, the trophy was
presented and the celebrations begun. Only
then did their coach discover a scoring
error which meant Newport was actually
the winner. They say "Silence Is Golden"
and if nothing was said, no one would have
known the difference. Well, they may not
be champions, but they displayed the character of champions when they reported the
error and traveled to Newport to present
the trophy to the Tiger cheerleaders.
We salute these young women and their
coach; they are a class act.
 Make It A Tradition
At the start of Henniker's Town Meeting, Select Board Chair Kris Blomback gave
an eloquent summary of the past year and a
look forward to the future. It included a salute to former employees who had left and a
welcome to new staff, a review of the town's
financial status and the justification for the
Selectmans' support of each article on the
warrant. It was essentially the same as the
"Selectmans' Report" typically printed in the
Town Report and ignored by most people.
Doing it as he did, Blomback set the tone
and purposes of the meeting and put everything that followed into context. This should
be the norm at all NH Town Meetings in the
future. It is a tradition worth starting.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
Maybe Ms. Baker should stop and think
what the “town boys” do. Not only do they
put in endless hours, while Wendy sits in a
warm house or in bed, and it’s the worst conditions outside, rain, snow, sleet and wind.
Do they complain? Sure they make good
money, and they earn it and deserve it.
After all these hours they can go home
for a very few hours. But wait, shouldn’t they
catch up on their sleep, have some family
time? And how about a good meal?
As to Mr. and Mrs. Bosse, we should have
more people, myself included, giving to the
deserving “boys” who work around the clock.
How about showing them we appreciate their
time and effort, not complain every time we
hit a “pot hole”, as they fix them over and
over, and they didn’t cause them.
And lastly, anything nice that we or you
do say, remember to say it came from Wendy
Brien-Baker. “Thanks boys for everything.”

Will seeds of North County
redevelopment
sprout this spring?
Here’s a problem everyone agrees needs
fixing: New Hampshire’s North Country has
not enjoyed the same
level of economic
growth and opportunity as the rest of the
state. If you live north
of the notches you’ve
had tough sledding for
more than a decade
unless your job involves
timber or tourism.
With several notable exceptions, like the
community-fueled marvel known as Littleton,
and bright spots like the White Mountains
Community College in Berlin, the economic
lights have been dimming.
That’s why a bus load of students and
teachers, restaurant owners, retailers, a
community banker and some life-long North
Country folk rode down to Concord last week,
filled the Senate Finance Committee hearing
room, and spoke with me and Committee
Chairwoman Senator Jeanie Forrester. They
urged us to support a plan to renovate and
revitalize the Balsams Resort in Dixville Notch.
The Balsams is one of the few remaining grand
hotels in New Hampshire. Maybe it’s more
accurate at the moment to say it was one of
the last of them since it’s been dark for the last
four winters.
Now a group led by ski area developer,
former co-owner of the Red Sox and entrepreneur Les Otten of Maine has a plan to bring
back the Balsams, creating hundreds and
maybe even thousands of new jobs in Coos
County. And they say they need our help in
the form of a state guarantee of at least $38
million dollars of debt and a clever rewrite of
state law to allow an “unincorporated Place”
(Dixville Notch) take advantage of a repayment method linked to assessment and collection of property taxes…even though, as an
unincorporated place, there is no such system
of taxation in place at the township level.
Although that last part sounds a bit complicated, it’s actually the easiest to deal with
and I suspect the State Senate will approve
it during our next floor session. It involves
creation of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
district. Cities and towns with property tax
revenues and mechanisms in place to collect
them are able to establish TIF districts and
pledge taxes collected in that area to repay
By District 8 State Senator Jerry Little
funds borrowed to accomplish a major development. Usually it’s a large municipal project
like major water and sewer extensions to an
industrial park. Creating a TIF means that
those who benefit most from the project, in
this example the businesses that move into the
industrial park, pay the tab…and bring new
jobs to the area.
But unincorporated places like Dixville
Notch have no established town governments
to operate a TIF, so the proposal the Senate
will consider would allow Coos County (which
handles taxation in Dixville) to step in and
perform that role. Coos County has already
agreed to accept the job.
The more difficult request made by the
Balsams Redevelopment Group is for lawmakers to pass legislation guaranteeing $28
million of debt for the project - in addition
to a $10 million loan guarantee from the NH
Business Finance Authority. The previously
discussed TIF would be used to repay this
debt, with the state acting as a backstop in case
of default. But there are many important, unanswered questions about the financing plan
and little time left to answer them. This proposal landed in the Senate Finance Committee
only a few weeks ago and we are already at the
2015 “cross-over” deadline. All bills originated
in the Senate have to be acted on by the end of
this week. No exceptions.
So, with a strong desire to keep this effort
alive and help create new jobs in Coos County,
but with an eye on our responsibility to understand as well as possible the full ramifications
for taxpayers of the bills we pass, the Senate
Finance Committee voted unanimously to recommend that the full Senate support the TIF,
but leave the issue of the debt guarantee to the
House of Representatives, where there will be
more time to suss out the details.
An even bigger issue the Senate will deal
with this week is workers compensation
reform. New Hampshire has the dubious
distinction of having some of the highest
“workers comp” insurance premium rates in
the country. Health care providers are currently allowed to charge whatever they like
and insurance companies are required to pay
it. Of course they pass the costs right along to
employers, who have pleaded with lawmakers for relief. Like the economic situation in
the North Country, everyone agrees there’s a
problem, but in this case there’s much more
disagreement about the solution. Next week
this column will take a more detailed look at
the workers comp situation.

Henniker Community School Seventh Grade science classes
are participating in the Trout in the Classroom project, a program
supported by Trout Unlimited and NH Fish & Game. The students
are raising trout from the larva stage (sac fry) to juvenile fish in the
classroom and will release them later this spring. They are also studying the Contoocook River to determine the best location for release.
“Students are gaining an understanding of real world topics relating
to ecology such as species populations, water quality, invasive species,
buffer zones, river stocking, and macro invertebrates,” said HCS Science Teacher Sara Richards. The students will be closely monitoring
water temperature and clarity, dissolved oxygen, ammonia levels,
and pH. Because trout are extremely sensitive to changes in their
environment, students are learning the importance of clean water and
environmental protection. “This program also meets many Common
Core and Next Generation Science Standards,” continued Richards. The Henniker students began with 35 larva and now have 35 fish they
hope to release in May.
Weare Police undergoing on-site assessment
The Weare Police Department is scheduled for an on-site assessment as part of a program to achieve accreditation by verifying
it meets professional standards. A team of Assessors representing
the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies,
Inc. (CALEA), will confirm the Weare Police Department's ability to
comply with state of the art standards in four basic areas: policy and
procedures, administration, operations, and support services. The
team will consist of Chief Thomas Johnson of the Western Carolina
University (NC) Police Department and Lt. Jeffrey McDaniel of the
Evandale (OH) Police Department. As part of the on-site assessment,
agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer
comments at a public information session on Monday, April 6, 2015
at 7:00 PM. The session will be conducted in the Weare Public Safety
Complex Training Room, Weare, New Hampshire.

Weare Winter Wanderers donate Rescue Boggan to Fire Department
On March 2, 2015, emergency services for
snowmobile accidents in Weare took a step
forward, when the Weare Winter Wanderers
Snowmobile Club donated an Equinox Rescue
Boggan to the Weare Fire Department.
Towed by a snowmobile, the rescue sled
will provide emergency transportation for
people injured in a snowmobile accident. “We
are very appreciative of the Weare Winter
Wanderers donation,” said Weare Fire Chief
Robert Vezina. “We became aware of the
Rescue Boggan last year when approached by
Wayne Hood of the Winter Wanderers The
Snowmobile Club acquired the sled from the
widow of the former Hillsboro County Representative of the NH Snowmobile Association.”
A recent snowmobile accident highlighted the
need for this type of equipment.
Weare Fire Department responders treated
a 14 year old boy who struck a tree while riding
in Weare. The rider was stabilized on scene
and transported approximately two miles in
the Rescue Boggan to the Weare ambulance.
Ultimately, The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team (DHART) air medical
transportation services helicopter flew the
rider to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
in Lebanon, NH.
Initially, the Winter Wanderers maintained
the sled and a phone tree would be used for
emergencies. That incident, however, pointed
out some deficiencies in the plan. In subsequent conversations with Fire Department personnel, Mr. Hood recommended that the sled
be located at the Fire Department, which would
facilitate a more rapid response.The Equinox
Rescue Boggan has since been equipped with
medical gear and it is located on a trailer at the
Fire Department. Several area dispatch centers
are updating their equipment lists so that the
sled can be available wherever it’s needed at a
moment's notice 24 hours a day. The replacement value for the sled is $3,500.

Hillsboro-Deering kindergarten registration April 6
Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School
will conduct kindergarten registration for
the 2015-2016 school year Monday, April 6,
2015 through Friday, April 10, 2015 in the
school's main lobby. Children who reside in
the towns of Hillsboro, Deering or Windsor and who will be five years of age on or
before September 30, 2015 are eligible for
kindergarten registration. It is not necessary to bring your child for the registration
process; however, we ask that you bring
your child's birth certificate, immunization records and proof of residence (ie.
rent receipt/utility bill). At the registration
you will be given an appointment for your
child to attend a Kindergarten Screening in
June. A registration packet is available at
www.hdsd.k12.nh.us.
Children who are new to the district
and will be registering for the 2015-2016
first grade class, may do so at this registration. Those students who presently
attend kindergarten at H-D Elementary are
automatically registered for the 2015-2016
school year.
On Wednesday, May 6, 2015 there will
be a Kindergarten Parent Orientation at
5:00 p.m. at the school. A PowerPoint of
a typical kindergarten day will be viewed
by parents who will also take a tour of a
kindergarten classroom, followed by a
question and answer period. We understand how unsettling it can be to parents
to send their child off to school for the first
time. We hope this orientation will help
parents feel more secure about the wonderful experience that awaits their child at
Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School. In
order to facilitate discussion, we respect-
fully ask that this evening be an ADULT
ONLY event, as no childcare will be available. We are looking forward to seeing you
on May 6th.
If you have any questions, please call
the Hillsboro-Deering Elementary Principal's Office @ 464-1110 or email [email protected].

New Boston interested in acquiring 87 acres on Old County Road
Open Space Committee Chairman Ken
Lombard and Conservation Commission
member Barbara Thomson met with the
New Boston Selectmen to discuss a possible
land donation. Lombard said Bill Riley
contacted Laura Bernard, the Chair of the
Conservation Commission, in January about
donating an 87 acre parcel of his property
on Old County Road. The OSC considered
purchasing this property several years ago
but decided not to at that time. There is no
cost to the town to obtain this property now
other than legal fees and loss of $95 per year
in taxes. The property is currently in current
use. The property has good recreation potential. It includes swamp and pond wetland.
Joe noted the parcel is accessed by a
class 6 road. The CC and OSC are requesting Selectmen approval to begin negotiating
with the owners. They will ask Attorney
Jed Callen to prepare a deed that will be
presented to the Selectmen for acceptance.
The Selectmen said they are interested in
pursuing this option.
Newport fire quickly extinguished
Newport Firefighters saved a Unity Road
home Tuesday after a chimney fire spread
to the roof and interior of the home. A passing motorist reported the fire just before
noon. According to Newport Fire Lt. Corey
Conroy, when firefighters arrived, they
found heavy fire inside the chimney of the
home.and they noticed the fire had spread
to the roof and interior of the house. Crews
quickly doused the flames and had the blaze
under control. A family of several adults and
children were home at the time of the fire,
but no one was injured. The home suffered
interior damage to a wall, but is habitable. Three mutual aid towns responded.
Sunapee and Claremont sent engines, and
Lempster covered the Newport fire station.

Grand Jury indictes Peterborough man
Khaleed Diomande, 20, of Peterborough has been indicted on six
charges, including possession of drugs with intent to distribute, possession of drugs and felonious use of firearms, at the Superior Court in
Manchester on Thursday. An indictment is not an indication of guilt;
it signifies that a jury found enough evidence to move forward with a
trial. When he was arrested in November, Diomande was charged with
possession of several controlled or narcotic drugs, including oxycodone, methylone and marijuana. Diomande was in possession of a
Kahr Arms 9-millimeter handgun, resulting in the charge of felonious
use of a firearm, itself a class B felony.
New Boston girl and Weare man injured
A head-on collision in Weare injured three people and closed
South Stark Highway for several hours on Tuesday. A 2006 Subaru
Impreza, operated by Sarah McGlauflin, 16, of New Boston, crossed
the centerline of the road and collided with a 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier,
operated by Tyler Gamache, 18, of Weare and his two passengers,
Sean Doherty, 19, and a 13-year-old passenger. The 13-year-old passenger was taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center by helicopter, and McGlauflin was taken to Catholic Medical Center, both with
non-life-threatening injuries. Gamache and Doherty refused medical
treatment. The accident remains under investigation but the police do
not believe speed or alcohol were factors.
Antrim woman indicted on drug charges
Chapin Whiting, 23, of Antrim was indicted for possession of a
controlled drug believed to be heroin, following her arrest in November. The class B felony makes her subject to up to three and a half to
seven years in prison or a $25,000 in fines.
Francestown woman is habitual offender
Hannah Elizabeth Anne Hertzler, 26, of Francestown was recently
indicted on two charges; driving while certified as an habitual offender
and disobeying an officer. The indictment charges that in November,
she drove on South New Boston Road in Francestown, after having been declared a habitual offender by the N.H. Division of Motor
Vehicles. After she was stopped, she then gave a false name and date
of birth to the officer to prevent him from properly identifying her.
Driving while certified as an habitual offender could result in up to two
and a half to five years in prison. Disobeying a police officer is a class A
misdemeanor.
