A Tradition Worth Keeping”
Issue 14  April 3, 2015
Kindergartener Karrington Telgin with Assistant Fire Chief Robert Richards.
A very special ride
Sponsored by the Weare Fire Rescue Association
Usually the presence of a fire truck on a
school campus is not a good thing, but on this
particular day, a fire truck’s approach meant
that 6-year-old Karrington Telgin’s ride home
had arrived. Karrington, of Mrs. Dyer’s Kindergarten class, won the annual fire truck coloring
contest, which is what earned her the special
ride.
Initiated by the Weare Fire Rescue Association, students were given a coloring
page depicting a fire truck scene to decorate,
and Fire Chief Robert Vezina picked the
grand prize winners. The Association offered
the Win-A-Ride Program to all elementary
grades, ultimately choosing one to represent
each grade, and will give five students rides
to school. The winners get to choose whether
to ride to school in the morning or to home in
the afternoon.“Shortly after dropping Karrington at her house the crew and the fire truck
responded to a structure fire in the neighboring
town of Henniker,” said Vezina. Other winners included: 1st Grade; Khiara Gallagher;
Ms. Herman; 2nd Grade; Logan Dion; Mrs.
Gosselin; 3rd Grade; Makayla Pellerin; Mrs.
Burke; 4th Grade; Maxine Dion; Mrs. McElhatten; Of note, the 2nd and 4th grade winners are
brother and sister.
New Boston joins Sheriff's Street Crime Task Force
New Boston Police Chief James Brace said
Sheriff Jim Hardy has started a Street Crime
Task Force to address the growing problem of
heroin addiction. Participating Police Departments will get training and information sharing
about the issue. One officer from New Boston
would be in the program and work in other
Hillsborough County communities. Brace said
he has participated in this type of program before with good experience. Participation would
not affect police coverage in New Boston. The
Board authorized Town Administrator Peter
Flynn to sign the Memorandum of Agreement
regarding the Sheriff’s Street Crime Task Force.

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE
Results of the first-ever clinical drug trial for children
with Progeria, a rare, fatal “rapid-aging” disease,
demonstrate the efficacy of a farnesyltransferase
inhibitor (FTI), a drug originally developed to treat
cancer. The clinical trial results, completed only six
years after scientists identified the cause of Progeria, included significant improvements in weight
gain, bone structure and, most importantly, the carBY SARAH CHAPIN
diovascular system, according to a study published
in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Progeria, also
known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), is a rare,
fatal genetic disease characterized by an appearance of accelerated
aging in children. All children with Progeria die of the same heart
disease that affects millions of normal aging adults (atherosclerosis),
but instead of occurring at 60 or 70 years of age, these children suffer
heart attacks and strokes as early as 5 years, with the average age of
death at 13 years.

Vitamin D deficiency has traditionally been linked with poor bone
health. However, the results from several population studies indicate
that a low level of this important vitamin may also be linked to a
higher risk of ischemic heart disease, a designation that covers heart
attack, coronary arteriosclerosis and angina. Other studies show
that vitamin D deficiency may increase blood pressure, and it is well
known that high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack.
Low levels of vitamin D compared to optimal levels are linked to 40%
higher risk of ischemic heart disease, 64% higher risk of heart attack,
57% higher risk of early death, and to no less than 81% higher risk of
death from heart disease.

Municipal Resources Inc. to lead search for new Weare Police Chief
Town Administrator Naiomi Bolton
informed the Weare Selectmen that both
Alan Gould and Pat Sullivan were informed
of the Board’s decision to use MRI for the
Police Chief search. It's Gould's opinion
that just advertising in NH would limit the
pool. There is nothing in the contract that
states an officer has to reside within so many
miles. Chairman Lacasse noted that there
was a concern with looking nationwide. The
ad will state that the successful candidate
must relocate to a permanent residence in
Weare or within 25 miles of Weare within
6 months of hire. No salary amount will
be specified in the ad; it will state competitive salary and excellent benefits. There is a
$1.4m operating budget. Bolton will get the
ad to Gould and it will run for 30 days.
Resident Frank Campana told the Board
that he saw an article in the Messenger regarding the meeting with the police officers.
He is concerned with some of the responses
the officers gave to some questions asked
of them. One of the questions was what
traits or characteristics they would like to
see in a police chief. A response from an
officer was that they would like a police chief
who is laid back, but not a push over. Mr.
Campana thinks they should have a police
chief who is respectful of everyone, not
laid back as a boss. The officers were asked
where they would like to see the department
in five years, and their response was fully
staffed and competitive pay, but Campana is
concerned with bringing back positions and
programs such as DARE, OHRV, K-9, and
bike patrol. He suggests that the Board look
back to the past when considering some of
these requests. Vice Chairman Clow said
that meeting was a brainstorming session,
not a list of things to do, but a way to collect
ideas from the people that are most in-
volved. All of those things will be discussed
with the new Chief once on board.
Antrim Police Chief Scott Lester (r) swore in new officer Juan Lluberes (l) and promoted Officer
Brian Lord (c) to Sargent at a recent Selectmen's meeting. In the audience were many family
members and other police officers from both Antrim and Hillsboro.
Bow's Public Safety Building Committee to continue
The Bow Selectmen discussed the results
of last week’s Town Meeting, specifically
the Public Safety Building and Community
Building articles. The Selectmen asked that
all committee members be asked to continue
their work on the committee through the
Design Build process; it is important that
they continue and are able to follow-through
on the work already accomplished.
The committee may pick their own Chairman and may make suggestions to the Board
as to whether there should be additional
people added to the Committee who have
expertise in certain fields. Individuals need
to have the time to commit to the project,
and they need to come with an open mind
and not have a conflict of interest. Selectman
Hunter offered to give the first donation for
fundraising for the new building.
There is a small grassroots effort to have
the friends of the public safety community
be supported and the first event will be a
pancake breakfast where neighbors can meet
and talk, neighbor to neighbor. She will be
working with Selectman Benjamin Kiniry on
this.

New England waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. You can
register to donate your organs by going to donatenewengland.org.
New Boston Police Officer made full-time
New Boston Police Chief James Brace asked the selectmen to
move Officer James Moran from a part time to a full time patrolman on the New Boston Police Department. He explained that
Moran began with the Department on a per diem program and
has been phenomenal on the Department so far; eager, accepts
criticism well, wants to be part of the community, and helpful to
the Department during investigations. The Board unanimously
approved the request.

Police arrested a woman for driving while under the influence
after she flipped her vehicle on Stark Highway North. Dunbarton police, fire and emergency medical services were dispatched
to the area of 13 Stark Highway north for a report of a vehicle
rollover. Officers found a 2008 Subaru Outback that flipped over
onto its roof on the east shoulder of the road, the report states.
An investigation revealed that before the crash, the vehicle had
been traveling northbound. A witness told police that the vehicle
veered suddenly off the road, struck a mailbox and a snow bank
before rolling.

A New Boston woman nearly had a deer land on top of her
Wednesday night as she sat inside her house. The spooked doe
crashed in through a window, and havoc ensued, according to
resident Angela Fitzpatrick. A large doe landed at Fitzpatrick's feet
as she sat in her kitchen. She said they stared at each other for a
moment. Her dog, Sam, hid as her husband joined her, trying to
shepherd the scared doe to any door as it scampered through the
house. The deer ran into the living room and broke out one window
before crashing through another and finally escaping back outside.
There has been no sign of the deer since, but Fitzpatrick said she
has had a lot of cleaning to do. She told WMUR-TV9 that she hopes
it's a story her insurance company believes.

a dozen colleges and community members attended to responded
to rumors that Athletic Director Scott Fitzgerald's contract would
not be renewed. Chair Ken Bartholomew stated that contracts were
not proper to discuss at this meeting but did allow those present to
express support for Fitzgerald during the Public Comment portion
of the meeting.

Henniker man remains hospitalized after fire destroys house
A Henniker man remains hospitalized
for smoke inhalation suffered when his
home was destroyed in a fire last Sunday.
James Roberts was the only one home at 270
Browns Way as fire completely destroyed the
house. Roberts’ wife, Laura Roberts, said he
was recovering and should be breathing on
his own soon. According to Henniker Fire
Chief Steve Burritt, when he arrived flames
were coming through the roof. It took firefighters from Henniker, Hillsboro, Deering,
Weare, Bradford, Hopkinton and Warner
nearly three hours to extinguish the fire. The
cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Laura Roberts reports that the family has
insurance and a place to stay.
Planning Antrim's future
Antrim Selectman John Robertson
announced that he had attended the recent
CIP meeting and the committee, while still
active, needed to find more direction and set
priorities so that the Selectmen wouldn’t be
surprised by department needs.
Therefore, it was decided that a committee
consisting of John, Town Administrator Donna Hanson, and resident Carol Ogilvy would
begin dialogues with department heads and
town boards to determine current inventories
and short and long-term needs. Carol has
worked with similar plans in Peterborough.
Also, the Selectmen are going to ask the Water
and Sewer Commission to attend a meeting
in May to establish greater communication
between the boards and determine the best
way to fund water and sewer projects.
Little remains of the Roberts' home on Browns Way.

The Auburn Selectmen met with former Town Administrator
Bill Herman, formerly of Weare, behind closed doors last Friday
to discuss the possibility of him returning to work after his sudden
resignation last month. During the previous Monday’s meeting,
newly elected Selectwoman Dale Phillips raised the issue of Herman’s
resignation, which became effective Feb. 13, and how she wanted the
town to renegotiate his contract. Residents have complained about
Herman’s resignation and demanded answers from selectmen on why
he was leaving. Neither selectmen nor Herman have given reasons for
his resignation, which was described as a “mutual parting of ways.” In
his letter of resignation, Herman wrote, “My 10 years with the town of
Auburn have been a personally and professionally rewarding experience for me, and I take pride in firmly believing that the community
is in a stronger position, organizationally and financially, than when I
started.”
Will Lil' Red Baron Restaurant be sold?
In addition to asking Newport voters if the town should sell Parlin Field Airport, voters will be asked if the town should sell the Lil’ Red Barron Restaurant
with an acre of land. The decision to ask about selling the popular restaurant
came after problems with the septic system developed. The failing system caused
Lil’ Red Barron to temporarily shut down March 2. Signs on the restaurant
promise opening before the tents are to be back up. Currently the restaurant is
in a long-term lease with the town at a cost of $3,900.00 a year. The property
will be first offered to the Lil’ Red Barron according to the warrant article. The
deliberative session will be at Newport Middle and High School gym at 6 pm.

- John Adams
Main Street wants Flags over Goffstown
Pierre Larochelle, from the Goffstown Main Street Program Design Team, would like the Board’s authorization to display Mountain
View Middle School students’ artwork on flags between the Goffstown
Main Street bridge posts, from June 1-8. He has reviewed the setup
with Fire Chief O’Brien who recommended the type of cabling to use
to ensure no accidents occur as a result of any kind of cabling disconnect. Larochelle brought in a mockup of the flags and posts to visually
show the Board how the project would look. Two hundred students
designed the flags that will be hung from the cabling over the river he
told the Board. Selectman Lemay said he thinks this is a good idea but
has concerns that they are using copper pipe instead of black iron pipe
as one of the components to support the cabling, fearing that the copper pipe will not be strong enough to support the weight of the cabling
and flags. Chairman Georgantas said the Board likes the concept; it
just needs to be assured that there is sufficient research done to ensure there are no safety issues. He suggested doing a demonstration at
the school. A discussion took place regarding what types of materials
should be used with Selectman Brown saying if the GMSP would like,
he could build a prototype for them. Chairman Georgantas suggested
Mr. Larochelle work with Selectman Brown and then come back to
the Board for final approval.
Historical Society to repair Stone Building
Sherry Burdick, President of the Weare Historical Society, told the
Selectmen that the Historical Society has tried to be good stewards of
the historic buildings in town. There is a lot of work that needs to be
done at the Stone Building, which they are willing to do. Work needs
to be done to the electrical system, insulating of the ceiling and crawl
space, and replacing the ceilings that are stained with new plaster
ceilings. The Historical Society is willing to pay for the work that
will be done. Burdick said that they are trying to be proactive to help
conserve fuel and will insulate between the floor joists in the north
room and install R30 underneath the floor. Burdick has an estimate
for $4,500 for the electrical, $2,200 for the insulation, and $2,000 for
the ceilings. Vice Chairman Clow said that they would need to have
a public hearing to accept the gift from the Weare Historical Society.
The public hearing is scheduled for April 6th.
New study may restrict Mount Sunapee
The New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau confirms the existence of “exemplary natural communities” on Mount Sunapee’s west
flank. The study, not only confirmed the findings of the 2004 study,
it also enlarged the area at Mount Sunapee State Park. These forests
are directly in the path of the proposed expansion of the ski area. The
Friends of Mount Sunapee has asked Gov. Hassan and Commissioner
Jeffrey Rose, Department of Resources and Economic Development
(DRED), to end consideration of the proposed expansion.

Publisher’s Perspective
A Poor Example
I recently sent the following e-mail
to Antrim Boy Scout Troop Leader Brian
Beihl:
"Brian; I just saw another article
on the Troop in the Villager. We
would love to promote your boys
in The Messenger as well. Please
include us in future releases. Leigh"
I sent a similar one last fall regarding
his involvement with the Home & Harvest
Festival, but he did not reply to that one.
However, his latest replay follows.
"Leigh: After being called
"Antrim's Bully" by your paper, and
suggesting that I am a negative influence on my Boy Scouts, you will
never again receive a press release
from me. Brian Beihl"
That is exactly why he is a negative
influence on his Scouts. Beihl allows his
personal feelings to interfere with what is
best for the Troop or the Festival. What a
poor example for his young charges.
We feel badly for the Antrim Scouts
by Leigh Bosse
and their parents, that they are not able to
receive all the publicity available to them.
They are great kids, and we would love
to publicize their accomplishments as we
do with Hillsborough, Henniker, Weare,
Bradford, New London, and others.
A Cowardly Act
Henniker residents Dennis Hamel,
Kathleen LaBonte and Caleb Dobbins are
not afraid to express their opinions. They
did so again at this year's Henniker Town
Meeting, often finding themselves in the
minority on several issues. Not satisfied
with defeating their views, some cowardly
person sent each a disgusting, insulting
letter attacking their character. The letter
writer calls them "obnoxious," but it is he
or she who is obnoxious. Town Meeting reflects the essence of democracy. We should
celebrate the fact that neighbors can come
together, express their differing opinions,
without discord, acrimony or reprisal.
Hamel, LaBonte and Dobbins stood tall
and expressed an opinion. The letter writer
was too cowardly to sign his or her name.

the Henniker School Board is considering

Milking Workers
Compensation
The fact that New Hampshire has some of
the highest “workers comp” rates in the nation
is at the root of one of the most contentious
debates seen so far this
legislative session, and
it’s a situation business
owners large and small
want to see changed.
Unfortunately, they’ll
have to wait a little
longer.
The impact of our
high workers comp rates
was made clear to me during a visit I made to
a dairy farm to ask the farmer what lawmakers
could do to help promote and develop local agriculture. The answer I got was, “fix our broken
workers compensation system”. That took
me by surprise. I was expecting to hear about
burdensome regulation, environmental matters,
or maybe problems accessing credit. He told me
that the high premium rate he paid for workers
compensation insurance was the greatest threat
to his ability to continue farming.
The farmer told me that if he fell off a ladder while painting his home and broke an arm
it might cost about $1,500 in medical bills. But,
if he moved the ladder across the driveway and
suffered the exact same injury while painting his barn, the bills would likely add up to
$3,000 to $5,000. The big difference being
that the spill as a homeowner would go through
traditional health care insurance while the fall
as a farmer would be handled by workers comp
insurance. Both injuries would be treated
by the same doctors, nurses and technicians
providing the same care at the same hospitals.
Why should one system be two-to-three or
more times expensive than the other?
Part of the answer is that workers comp
insurance also includes what is known as an
“indemnity benefit”. As long as an employee is
out of work with a job-related injury or illness
the insurance company, not the employer, pays
the worker a percentage of their wages. (In
New Hampshire it’s 60% of average weekly
earnings.) That’s an expense traditional health
insurance doesn’t have to cover. Also, there’s
more administrative work required to complete
a workers comp claim. But those additional requirements don’t come close to explaining why
workers comp claims in NH are so expensive.
The answer lies in a short sentence in the
state workers comp laws that says employers will pay the bill as presented to them for
By District 8 State Senator Jerry Little
workers comp claims. In other words, current
state law allows health care providers to bill
any amount they feel is reasonable and the
employer must pay it and, if the employer
wishes to challenge a bill, the burden of proving
that the amount is unreasonable lies with the
employer.
To their credit, when asked about this
by lawmakers, the health care community
acknowledged that the current workers comp
scheme in New Hampshire is steeply tilted
in their favor and that workers comp costs at
a multiple of normal health care rates were
not defensible. That brought the health care
providers and the business community to the
table to see if a mutually agreed upon solution
to New Hampshire’s high workers comp rates
could be found.
The first part was easy. Both sides agreed
that the “must pay” language should be repealed, allowing employers to negotiate a bill if
they feel it’s too high and to flip the burden of
proof, thereby requiring the provider to show
that their costs were reasonable. Further, both
sides agreed that the goal should be a 15% reduction in New Hampshire workers comp rates,
which would bring us closer to what the same
coverage costs in other New England states.
But no agreement could be found on how
to measure the 15% reduction. The providers
preferred one metric, the business community
another. Neither could they agree on “the
hammer”.
The so-called “hammer” is a legislative
mechanism that would give health care providers an incentive to achieve savings that would
result in the sought 15% cost reduction. The
business community suggested what’s known
as a “fee schedule”; a rate sheet that would
mandate the maximum that could be charged
for each possible medical procedure. Under the
plan suggested by the business community, if
the 15% premium reduction were not realized
within two years, the fee schedule would kick
in. The medical community predicted workers
comp Armageddon, arguing that doctors would
stop accepting workers comp claims before
they’d accept a fee schedule.
And then we hit Crossover Day. The deadline for acting on bills in their originating body
arrived and both sides were dead set against
further compromise. SB3, the workers comp
reform bill, was tabled and will now be worked
on over the rest of the year with hopes that a
suitable compromise can be found and passed
early next year. We’re going to milk this one a
little longer.

Hillsborough Planning Board approves major commercial development
Those wanting to know if a Hannaford Supermarket is coming to Hillsborough will have
to wait a little longer for an answer. Michael
Black, of Saxton Partners, and his team of
engineers and landscape architects appeared
before the Hillsborough Planning Board
Wednesday night seeking Site Plan approval
for a 239,283 sq. ft. commercial development
on 160 acres on Antrim Road.
Black would only say that negotiations are
continuing with major retailers, but no agreements have been signed. He did disclose that
footprints of the four proposed buildings are
designed to the specification of those retailers.
As proposed, the project consists of four
phases. Phase one includes all the major earth
work, development of the pads for the four
buildings and the construction of a 158,583
sq. ft. single tenant building. One observer
speculated that that is the approximate size of
a Wal*Mart Supercenter.
Phase two would see the construction
of a 25,000 sq. ft. multi-tenant building.
Phase three, the construction of a 4,700 sq.
ft. restaurant. Phase four, which is not yet de-
signed, would entail an 85 unit senior housing
complex.
After a lengthy hearing and questions
from the board and the large crowd attending,
Phase one was approved with several conditions acceptable to the applicant.
Engineer Wayne Morrill presents plans for a major retail complex in Hillsborough.

Vacant seat on the Newport School Board
The Newport School Board is still looking for someone to fill
the remaining year of Karen Little, who resigned, but so far, no
one had stepped up. Superintendent of Schools Cindy Gallagher
had indicated that one former school board member expressed
an interest if no other candidate applied. Anyone interested in
serving on the board for the next year is requested to be present at
the April 9th school board meeting. Linda Wadensten was chosen
as the new Board Chair, replacing Liz Hennig who did not seek
re-election. Shannon Howe will serve as vice chairman and newly
elected Deanna Armstrong, secretary. The board will hold its annual day-long retreat on Saturday, April 11 at the Knowlton House
in Sunapee Harbor. It will start with a breakfast at 8:30 a.m. and
will conclude at 5 p.m. or earlier once all the agenda items are
covered.
Bow Lt. Colonel appealing sex conviction
Former U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown is calling on Gov.
Maggie Hassan and other elected officials to launch an investigation into the case involving former National Guard Lt. Col.
Ray Valas of Bow. Valas was convicted of sex trafficking charges
involving a 15-year-old girl and is now serving a 15-year sentence
in federal prison, but Brown said he wants to know if warning
signs were missed. The call for this investigation was sparked by a
report in the Concord Monitor that said Valas had previously been
the subject of disciplinary action unrelated to the sex trafficking
case. Valas is appealing his conviction.

Will New London move Town Meeting to March?
New London Town Clerk/Tax Collector Linda Hardy said that after the results
of the Kearsarge School Election, which
were not well attended, she wondered if
the Selectmen had any inclination to move
Town Meeting back to March. Hardy noted
that she hasn’t said anything for four years
but it just gets more dismal every year with
very low attendance.
She thought there were people who
would put this on by petition, but thought
it would get better reception if the Selectmen put the recommendation out to move
it back to March.
Administrator Kim Hallquist said she
would be in favor of the move back to
March because of the hype from the media
in March for Town Meetings might encourage voters to think about it and come out
and vote. If the goal is to get a lot of people
to the meeting, March is better than May.
It was recalled that the vote taken last year
on whether to keep the meeting in May or
move it back to March was a close one taken by the raising of hands. Perhaps a paper
ballot would be appropriate this year.
Chair Kidder said the thing about the
last voting session was that there was no
difference in the budgets. She said a lot of
thought went into moving the meeting to
May from March. Selectman Bianchi said if
there was ever an educational issue in the
vote, the school board would love to have
good representation in New London as historically, New London has been the biggest
supporter of education in the district. They
haven’t had this support the last couple of
years.
Selectman Bianchi said he is fine with
moving Town Meeting back to March.
Nancy Rollins said she is fine to put the
question out to the voters. Chair Kidder
said she is fine either way. It was decided
they would put this on the warrant.
Sunapee Historical Society wants old Abbott Library
Becky Rylander presented the Sunapee
Selectmen with the Historical Society’s
business plan for operating the old Abbott
Library as a historical library and archive.
The Historical Society is poised to
move forward, but find themselves in a
chicken and egg situation, in that, they do
not have an appraisal or fair market value
with a preservation easement on it, and a
condition assessment. They cannot apply
for any grants to help raise the funds or
go to donors for pledges without knowing
more information. In the meantime, they
would like a chance to get in the building to
visualize how things might be set-up. In addition, they would like to hold a couple of
open houses this summer to show people
what they have planned for the building.
Selectman Augustine asked if they could
not get this building, would you go forward
and pursue a different building. Rylander
stated that that spot is certainly what the
Society is most interested in and have not
identified another solid building over what
they already have now. Town Manager
Donna Nashawaty can arrange the viewing
but an open house can not be held until the
cy-pres has gone pass the Charitable Trust.
