Parlin Field survives Article would have forced the sale of Newport's airport Judging by the number of people who attended Newport's Deliberative Session Tuesday night wearing Parlin Field T-shirts, sweat shirts and jackets, it appeared that a petitioned warrant article seeking the sale of the town's airport was bound to fail. It did, but it took over two hours of debate to make it official. Joe Branch, one of the 80 petitioners, moved its adoption and immediately offered an amendment to exclude the area known as Maxfield Park from the sale. Although most favored excluding the park, the amendment was defeated as the exact dimensions of the area, constructed in tribute to the late Jake Maxfield, were not known. Bert Spaulding then offered an amendment adding the option to lease the facility to the article. He argued that a lease would allow the town to maintain ownership of the field should the article pass. After much debate the amendment passed only to be followed by a substitute amendment offered by Mary Schissel to "explore the options to sell, lease or retain" the facility. Peter Martin voiced the feelings of many, urging the assembled to "use common sense." "Why are we spending so much time debating $17,000 for the airport after passing a $9 million budget without debate?" When the vote was finally taken, only five of the 88 residents remaining voted against Schissel's amendment. The amended article will now appear on the may 12th ballot. Goffstown Lt. to receive Lifetime Achievement Award Goffstown Police Lt. Pierre Pouliot has been selected by the NH Police Fire & EMS Foundation to receive the 2015 Police Lifetime Achievement Award.

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease; alterations in the brain caused by amyloid-beta-plaques, degeneration of fibrillae BY SARAH CHAPIN and a loss of synapses are held responsible for the characteristic symptoms. Oxidative stress, which constrains the exploitation of oxygen in the human body, is suspected to promote the development of AD. • • • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Aubagio (teriflunomide), a once-a-day tablet for the treatment of adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that disrupts communication between the brain and other parts of the body. It is among the most common causes of neurological disability in young adults and occurs at least twice as frequently in women as in men. For most people with MS, episodes of worsening function (relapses) are initially followed by recovery periods (remissions). Over time, recovery periods may be incomplete, leading to progressive decline. • • • A study of patients treated with the anticoagulant medication warfarin suggests that resuming warfarin therapy after an episode of gastrointestinal tract bleeding was associated with lower risk for thrombosis (blood clot) and death, according to a report in the Archives of Internal Medicine . • • • Presented as a service to the community by HENNIKER PHARMACY • 603-428-3456 P.O.Box 718 • Proctor Square • Henniker, NH 03242 Saturday, April 11, 2015, 8am-2pm at our office at 20 Hall Ave., Henniker, NH • 428-3333 Get Your Gas Grill Tank Filled!!

The Board discussed the decision they made in May 2013 for renaming and renumbering each street a small batch at a time with a new system to improve the Emergency911 response process. Several members of the public living on those streets attended, and expressed concerns with the change. Community Development Assistant Bryan Westover and Emergency Management Director Lee Kimball answered questions. Monday night, the Board, after a short discussion, voted to approve the changes. A certified letter will now be sent to each property owner stating the effective date, at least six weeks out. The letter will also include a copy of the town’s ordinance on how buildings must be numbered. When the certified letter is mailed out, it will also include a list of potential companies that you should contact, and those you do not need to notify because the town will take care of certain groups on behalf of the property owner, such as the post office, school district and library. Henniker talks about insurance Trident Insurance Company has made offers to the board for claims on the grader ($116,251), the 1992 freightliner with the 2013 dump body ($38,325) and the 2006 freightliner ($52,175). However, after Selectman Aucoin asked several questions regarding those values, it was determined that Paul Shepherd of David and Towle Insurance would go back and get more specific information for the Board. Meanwhile, Michael Ryan of Robert A Lucas and Associated, Inc., Public Insurance Adjusters made a presentation to the Board regarding the recovery of money under the Town’s insurance policy for the Highway garage. His company has handled both the Hopkinton and Wolfeboro insurance claims and stated that the sooner they start the better. Their fee is 5% of the total money recovered and is payable when the claim is complete. The Selectmen thanked him for his presentation and said they would think about it. Joyce Kimball, President of the Bow Garden Club presented Selectboard Chair Harold Judd with a painting of the town gazebo by Pat Smith. Antrim Wind proposes a $5,000 annual scholarship A proposal has been made by Antrim Wind Energy to give $5000 per year for the lifetime of the project as a donation to the town. After some discussion with Chair Gordon Webber, AWE seems to like the idea of giving to the Antrim Scholarship fund; however, the logistics of doing so may be complicated. After hearing from Attorney Stephen Buckley, it was concluded that the Board could accept the funds on behalf of the Trustees of the Trust funds who could administer the scholarships. It was pointed out that although this is a good idea, there are some years that the current scholarship funds are used and perhaps another use for the donation might be appropriate, with more input from the public. The Selectmen decided to invite Antrim Wind Energy to a future meeting to further discuss the proposal. Welcome New Readers!

Farley now lives with “locked-in syndrome” after suffering two strokes within two months in 2010. He remains fully conscious, but has no voluntary muscle movement other than the very limited ability to move his eyes and his head. U.S. District Court Judge Landya McCafferty found that Farley’s condition could have been avoided if doctors at the Manchester VA had properly diagnosed and treated him after his first stroke in October 2010. McCafferty criticized the VA for “carelessly prescribing the wrong medication” and leaving the patient “medically abandoned.” During the October visit to the VA, after the first stroke, Farley’s VA doctors ordered an ambulance transfer to a VA facility in West Roxbury, Mass., where he would have been admitted to a hospital and evaluated by a neurologist, but the ambulance was told to turn back, for reasons no one was ever able to explain. The judge's decision outlines many allegations related to the malpractice claim, such as failure to use proper monitors, failure to order the proper tests and a failure to refer the patient to qualified specialists. McCafferty awarded $1.3 million for past and current medical costs, including con- version of a home to accommodate Farley’s needs; $12 million for future medical care; and $8.1 million to Mrs. Farley for noneconomic damages.

Newbury man arrested as part of major drug bust Federal investigators said they have made the largest seizure of synthetic drugs in New England history. Officials said undercover agents worked on the case for more than a year. It ended with two arrests and the seizure of $4 million worth of synthetic drugs known as Spice. Undercover agents first bought the drugs at convenience stores in Hooksett and Londonderry, then infiltrated the organization and arranged to buy more than a ton of Spice. On March 28th about 2,400 pounds of Spice were seized, and Kyle Hurley, 32, of Newbury, and Robert Costello, 71, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, were arrested. Prosecutors said Hurley and Costello pleaded guilty to drug charges and will be sentenced in the coming months.

The members of the equipment committee are Fred Brunnhoelzel, Bill Goss, Caleb Dobbins, Tim McCommish, and Carl Bostrom; while the members of the building committee are Steve Connor, Scott Diaz, Danny Aucoin, Joe Grady and Bill Marko. The Selectmen are asking that the sub-committees keep them informed of any progress with reports showing three possible scenarios by June 16 and to hold at least two public hearings. The equipment sub-committee notwithtanding, the Selectmen voted 4-0-1 to purchase a new Caterpillar Grader with an upgraded reinforced wing and plow for $343,900 at 2.5% interest. Committee members felt that this grader was the only type that would be practical for the town. It was determined that letters had been sent to both Caterpillar and John Deere and Caterpillar had the lower bid. It was further noted that Caterpillar has let the town use one of their graders since the fire and has not charged the Town the customary $6000.00 per month lease. Selectman Bob French stated that he just wanted to make sure that there is transparency in such transactions.

At Wednesday's Select Board meeting, Officer Bret Sullivan was promoted to Police Chief, replacing Steve Campbell, who has held the position since 1996. Sullivan has been a full-time officer for 14 years with service on the Temple-Greenville and Peterborough Departments. Sullivan will be paid $62,500, plus overtime after 43 hours and will receive a 5% increase after a six-month probationary period. A large crowd of friends and collegues witnessed the transition. A retirement party for Campbell, who has assumed the role of Francestown’s officer in charge, after former Chief Stephen Bell resigned, is set for June 10 at Pierce Elementary School. Sale of Lil' Red Baron OK'ed After much debate, Nerwport voters authorized the selectmen to sell the Lil' Red Baron restaurant which sits on Parlin Field property. The restaurant is currently shut down because of a septic system filler. No one was opposed to the sale, giving the current building owners first refusal. The sole issue revolved around the cause of the failure and if the cost of a new system should be deducted from the sale price. Bert Sapling was adamant that the failure resulted from current and past operators dumping grease into the system, while the current operators said it was because the system was undersized to start with. The matter now rests with the selectmen to set the terms of the sale.

Also from The Granite Quill: IN New Hampshire Your Guide to What’s Happening in the Granite State Senior Lifestyles A Guide for New Hampshire’s Active Seniors Publisher’s Perspective Newport Selectmen made the right call The Newport Board of Selectmens decision to curtail ambulance service to surrounding towns continues to cause concern in the Upper Valley-Kearsarge area. Unexpected as it was, at least the decision comes before the date for Town Meetings so citizens in effected towns could discuss alternatives. Certainly the cost of maintaining their own Rescue Squads can be oppressive for small towns like Newbury and Lempster. Conversely, with Newport bearing essentially the entire cost of purchasing and maintaining equipment, manning, training and compensating personnel, its taxpayers should not be expected to carry the burden for the entire area. Selectmen are charged with making decisions in the best interests of their towns. Difficult and painful as it was the Newport Board made the right call. However, the problem of providing ambulance service to the area is far from insurmountable. Newport and its neighbors need only to look the recent agreement between Henniker and Bradford for one possible solution. having trouble maintaining a full Rescue Squad, Bradford now provides by Leigh Bosse only a F.A.S.T. Squad and contracts with Henniker to provide ambulance service. Bradford receives the service and Henniker is compensated for the cost. A win-win situation for all. Newport Superintendent made the wrong call The Superintendent of Newport Schools, Dr. Cindy Gallagher recently demoted long-time Transportation Director Diane Callum to bus driver and hired Chad Howe, husband of Board member Shannon Howe, to replace her. The bus drivers are upset and rightly so. Not only is Howe unqualified to supervise them, he was hired at a salary $8,000 to $10,000 more than Callum was earning. Gallagher insists that she hired Howe and the Newport School Board was not involved. In fact, she said that there was only one conversation during a non-public meeting of the school board when the subject of the transportation director’s position camp up and Shannon Howe recused herself. Lets face it. No one knows if there was anything improper here, but in the world of government and politics perception is reality, and this just looks wrong.

Francestown's Police Department reorganized At a ceremony at the Town Offices on April 7th, Town Clerk Pamela Finnell formally swore in five new part-time police officers for the Town of Francestown. Sworn in were Officer-in- charge Steve Campbell of Antrim and part-time police officers Christopher McGillicuddy of Hillsborough, Phillip Marcellino of Francestown, John Giffin of Antrim, and Lester Milton of Contoocook. Also in attendance were current officer Jeffrey Danforth and department administrative manager Fred Douglas. Board of Selectmen Chair Abigail Arnold stated, “We greatly appreciate the assistance these officers are providing to us. Francestown should feel fortunate to have them working on our behalf.” www.granitequill.com | April 10, 2015 | The Messenger | Page 13 A new phase begins in the budget debate The budget has arrived in the State Senate. It’s arguably the most important piece of legislation the New Hampshire legislature will pass this session because it will impact the life of every citizen of New Hampshire in multiple ways. From the sublime (fresh air and clean water), to the deadly serious (our horrible drug overdose epidemic), and everything in between. Last week the New Hampshire House of Representatives completed their work on the budget. Starting with Governor Hassan’s proposed $11.5 billion, two-year budget as a base, the House removed most of her proposed tax and fee increases, and then cut back on some of the Governor’s spending plans to bring their budget down to about $11.2 billion. The House changes that grabbed the most attention would reduce spending on programs to support the developmentally disabled, as well as community programs like Meals on Wheels. A plan to reduce the amount of state aid to education was reversed on the House floor with an amendment that would, among other things, drain the remaining $10 million from state’s Rainy Day Fund. The House plan would also take $52 million from the renewable energy program (a so-called “dedicated fund raid”), to help pay for operating expenses at the Department of Transportation. Those solutions proved to be as controversial as the issues they solved. There was a great deal of angst over “cuts” in the House budget until their Finance Committee members sat down to present their plan and made it apparent that most departments and programs will receive as much if not more money in the next biennium than they currently do. Generally, the “cuts” reflect a reduction from the Governor’s proposal, not from current spending levels. Overall, the House proposal for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 would appropriate and spend about $400 million more than the current 2014-2015 state budget. By District 8 State Senator Jerry Little So now it’s the Senate’s turn. Those of us on the Senate Finance Committee have begun the task of dissecting the House budget plan, comparing it to the Governor’s proposal, looking for ways to reprioritize spending and waiting for updated revenue estimates. One advantage the Senate has over our House counterparts is the benefit of April revenue figures. They give the Senate a keener picture of state income trends, particularly since the next quarterly business tax payments are received this month. As a result, we may be able to adjust anticipated revenues upward. It’s far too early in the Senate process to be able to say with much accuracy what sort of spending adjustments we might propose. We only started to listen to budget requests from the dozens of state departments, agencies and offices this Tuesday – a process that will take more than a month of daily hearings to complete - but that doesn’t stop folks from asking. As soon as the House passed its budget on to the Senate reporters showed up at the offices of Senate President Chuck Morse and Finance Committee Chairwoman Jeanie Forrester asking what to expect. President Morse addressed the revenue side of the budget, telling the media we won’t be increasing taxes, but also saying that the Senate will not support the House plan to move money from the Renewable Energy program to fund operations at the Department of Transportation, and we won’t be raiding any other dedicated funds either. He also vowed to reverse the House plan to take $10 million from the Rainy Day Fund, which essentially zeros it out. If possible, said Senator Morse, the Senate plan will instead add money to the state’s savings account. Chairwoman Forrester echoed Morse’s support for protecting if not building the Rainy Day balance and against raiding dedicated funds, but she also addressed the spending side in broad terms, noting that in the past budgets she’s been involved in the Senate has focused on meeting the needs of New Hampshire’s most vulnerable citizens. I interpret that to mean that, under her guidance, we’ll spend a good deal of time looking for ways to address the aforementioned concerns about funding for senior citizen services, developmentally disabled individuals and substance abuse treatment.

Since few domestic violence or emergency shelters allow animals, the Animal Rescue League of NH (ARLNH) fills this community need with a program that provides temporary housing for beloved pets. The League’s Safe Haven program offers a temporary, confidential, and compassionate way to help those who do not have other alternatives available to them. Though the original focus of the program was to help victims of domestic violence who could not leave an abusive environment because it would mean leaving their pets behind, it has since expanded to help those who lose their housing due to natural disasters or have to be in a hospital/rehabilitation setting and have no one to care for their pets. The Safe Haven program provides a safe and caring place for the pets, allowing the people time to focus their energy on helping themselves put the pieces of their lives back together. When people are ready, they can reclaim their pets. The Safe Haven program’s slogan is “While you take care of yourself, we will take care of your pets.” In keeping with their mission, to improve animal welfare in our com- REGINA Pitbull mix-3 yearsSpayed Female Regina is looking for a family that will help build her confidence and understand she is a bit shy when meeting new people.

This fear often is the main reason why victims will not leave an abusive situation. The Safe Haven program gives them the option of having a safe place for their animals, and the peace of mind of knowing they are being well cared for as they themselves move forward in their quest for independence and safety.” This collaboration serves to help spread the word about resources that are available to help others and the need for foster parents to help provide a safe and low-anxiety environment for animals who are already in a state of distress. People interested in more information about the program and in supporting the program through donations or becoming a foster parent, should contact the Animal Rescue League of NH at (603) 472-3647.

The Taste of Hillsboro will be held on Saturday, April 18 at the Hillsboro Middle School from 11 am to 2 pm. We plan to have many of our local restaurants in attendance to give the community an opportunity to try selected items off their menus. This year we are also adding a crafts fair to the event. Currently there are 11 restaurants and 12 crafts/vendors committed to attending, both numbers might increase over the next week. This event will be free to attend, but you will purchase tickets at the door to try the food. Tickets will be $1 each in $10 increments. The restaurants will have tables set up inside the cafe with different selections for you to try, but rather than using money to purchase the food everything will be priced by tickets. There will be tables in the center for you to sit, relax and socialize. Restaurants will be encouraged to offer coupons, specials and have menus available for their locations to be used at a later date. The crafts/arts fair will be set up in the gym section of the middle school and will be accepting money for the products. There will also be live music performed by Heidi Welch and Phil Swasey. Deering Selectmen award Fire Department Study bid The Deering Selectmen discussed the Fire Department Study RFP. JLN & Associates and MRI were the most viable in terms of cost $11,645 and $19,360. While both firms were local – JLN is located in Old Lyme, CT and MRI is located in Meredith, NH – the concern for Mr. Gill centered on the $7,710 difference in cost, number of public hearings, and staff expertise. The JLN proposal listed number of hours per task while the MRI proposal listed deliverables, inclusive of two public hearings. JLN will do outreach and public education. The concerns raised over the JLN proposal included the absence of public hearings, the potential for add on costs once the allocated hours per given task were exceeded. The traveling distance from Old Lyme, CT versus Meredith, NH is an important consideration in terms of accessibility. Acting Chief Connor voiced concern over the RFP as he had yet to review the submissions. It was pointed out that the process had been ongoing since early November 2014. Asked if the previous Fire Chief had shared the submissions with department members in November 2014 Acting Chief Connor replied no. More discussion ensued over the difference in language. JLN explicitly mentioned a review of mutual aid agreements and dry hydrants whereas MRI language was more implicit. Board members acknowledged that the MRI submission was better overall and they agreed that it was important to have MRI insert explicit language that both mutual aid and dry hydrants will be reviewed. Mr. Gill made the motion to award the fire study to MRI contingent on their inclusion of the above mentioned language explicitly listing mutual aid agreements and dry hydrants as components of review. The vote was unanimous. www.granitequill.com | april 10, 2015 | The messenger | Page 23 Sylvia Pelletier, President of the Childhood Cancer Lifeline of NH (l) received a check from Lori Rowell, Director of Marketing at Pats Peak, (r) for $1,680 for the portion that Pats Peak donated from the March Online Lift Ticket Sales.
