Bow Principal is finalist for Kearsarge Superintendent
John House-Myers, the Principal of Bow
High School is one of two finalists to replace
Jerry Frew as Kearsarge Superintendent of
Schools. The other finalist is Winifried Feneberg,
currently the superintendent in Windham.
The two met with parents, teachers and
administrators Monday afternoon. In his ninth
year as Bow High School principal, HouseMyers said he wasn’t planning on applying for
any superintendent positions this year, until he
learned of the open spot at Kearsarge. If selected,
he would like to bring more jobs programs to the
district, preparing students for skilled careers in
manufacturing and trades while they’re still in
high school.
Kurt Gergler, a special education facilitator
and Bow native, has been named as the next
Bow Elementary School principal.

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE
A recent study has found that in three of every four
critically ill children, blood vitamin D levels were
below the target considered safe by many experts
and medical societies. Further, those with lower
vitamin D levels were noted to be sicker, requiring
more life-sustaining therapies (breathing tubes,
medications to support heart function) and staying
BY SARAH CHAPIN in the ICU for longer periods of time. Vitamin D is
increasingly being recognized as important for good health. Vitamin
D is a hormone made in the skin following sun exposure or acquired
from diet and supplement intake. Previous medical research has
shown that low body levels of vitamin D make people more susceptible to problems such as bone fractures, poor mental health and
infections like the common cold.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Bosulif (bosutinib)
to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), a blood and bone marrow disease that usually affects older adults. An estimated 5,430 men
and women will be diagnosed with CML in 2012. Most people with
CML have a genetic mutation, called the Philadelphia chromosome,
which causes the bone marrow to make an enzyme called tyrosine
kinase. This enzyme triggers the development of too many abnormal
and unhealthy white blood cells called granulocytes. Granulocytes fight
infection. Bosulif is intended for patients with chronic, accelerated or
blast phase Philadelphia chromosome positive CML who are resistant
to or who cannot tolerate other therapies, including imatinib.

Weare Food Pantry hopes to build new facility on Town Land
Tiffany Rogers informed the Weare
Selectmen that the Weare Food Pantry
has to vacate the Middle School in July. If
the town would allow them to utilize town
owned land they would like to build a 2,4003,500 square foot structure to house the
food pantry and thrift store. They will ask
residents to volunteer their time and donate
their services for the benefit of the community. Bringing back the thrift store will help
to support the food pantry.
Ms. Rogers told the Board they are
running out of time and need to find a new
location for the food pantry. They service
20-45 families per month. Selectman Leary
asked if they could complete the structure
in time. Utilizing the basement of the Town
Office building until the structure was
complete was mentioned. Vice Chairman
Clow mentioned that some school districts
utilize temporary classrooms and eventually
build permanent structures so those units
are typically up for sale. Ms. Rogers said that
they are in the process of becoming a 501C3.
She asked if the town could help with funds
to purchase meats and perishables. Mr.
Sunapee employees retiring
During a recent Selectmens meeting, Sunapee Board Chairman Josh Trow recently
presented their twenty-five year service
awards to retiring Transfer Station Foreman
Tom Bennett and and Highway Equipment
Operator, Wes Roberts and thanked them
for their service to the Town of Sunapee. In
addition, Upper Valley Regional Planning
Commission and Northeast Resources also
recognized Bennett or his years of service to
both organizations.
Boucher mentioned the need to purchase
tables and chairs. He asked the Board if they
would need to go to Town Meeting to ask
the town for money. The question of how
they would pay for the double wide structure
was asked and Chairman Lacasse responded
that it would have to be a separate warrant
article. Ms. Rogers said that they will be
having a penny sale on April 18th with items
donated from community members, which
does raise money. Ms. Rogers asked if the
Town Administrator or Board could suggest
available land. Town Administrator Naiomi
Bolton will review the book.
Quick response limits damage to New London home
Fire officials believe a faulty maple
sugaring operation caused a New London
home to catch fire last Wednesday
afternoon. Firefighters responded to the
324 Stoney Brook Road home, owned by
Noel and Cheryl Weinstein, within eight
minutes only to find extensive fire in a
garage and the house. Crews were able to
contain most of the fire to the garage and
get it under control within an hour.
Officials believe the fire appeared to
be started by a maple sugaring operation
in the driveway too close to the house.
The Weinsteins are staying with a
neighbor because of water and smoke
damage to the home, he said. The house
is assessed at $342,400 said Town Clerk
Linda Hardy.
Firefigherts from Newbury, Sunapee,
Wilmot, Sutton and Springfield assisted.

against him are being bound over to the Hillsborough Superior
Court South. His arrest triggered a review of his suspended sentence from an October drug possession charge. Haney was found

boys, now adult men, went to police in 2013 and reported that they
had been repeatedly assaulted by Michael Narbis starting in 1973
when they lived in Antrim. Narbis, who now lives in Bradenton,
Florida, was charged with 31 felony counts of deviate sexual relations and 62 misdemeanor counts of sexual assault. Hillsborough
County Attorney Dennis Hogan said Narbis pleaded guilty Monday
to two felonies and two misdemeanors and was sentenced to 10 to
30 years in prison. The statute of limitations did not apply because
Narbis had left the state.

Discrepancy in Mendelson Trust balance questioned
In discussing the use of Mendelson Trust
Funds to repair the Mary Haddad Bandstand, the New London selectmen discovered
a possible discrepancy. There are actually two
Mendelson Trusts; A $100,000 Restricted
Trust in which interest only is to be used for
support of music in New London. The other
is an unrestricted fund of over $300,000
which currently has $85,000 in retained
interest available for those repairs. The Restricted Trust, however, which is to maintain
its $100,000 principal, now contains only
about $76,000. The selectmen are asking the
Trustees of Trust Funds for an explanation.

Elderly sex offender claims double jeopardy
Max Wilson, 70, the sex offender convicted last year of illegally
caring for a 14-year-old boy in Concord and Hopkinton has lost his
bid to terminate three of four felonies on grounds that they violated
his double jeopardy rights. Wilson met the boy through friends of the
child’s family, and he agreed to mentor him after his grandfather’s
death. Wilson spent time alone with the boy without disclosing his
conviction to the family. The family discovered it online after the
boy’s mother grew suspicious. NH law prohibits Wilson from “volunteer service involving the care, instruction or guidance of a minor
child.” A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.

Academy Building
Whipple Memorial Hall
Mary Haddad Bandstand
Three New London Landmarks in need of major repairs
The New London Selectmen held a
Public Hearing Monday night to discuss a
proposed $350,000 bond or note to make
extensive repairs to the Academy Building,
formerly known as the Old Colby Academy
building, which was donated to the Town by
Colby-Sawyer College in 1999. The building
was raised and set on a new foundation and
the interior was renovated to create the town
offices. The 1999-2000 renovation project
did not include the replacement of the siding
which has deteriorated over the years. It is
impossible to say how much damage will be
found when the siding is removed, but the
Selectmen and Budget Committee believe

that $350,000 will be adequate. If there are
funds remaining after the siding project is
completed, it is likely they will be used on
Whipple Memorial Hall which faces its own
maintenance problems.
Also discussed at that meeting was the
Mary Haddad Bandstand which is now
unsafe to use for the traditional summer
concerts. Estimates range from $60,000 to
$70,000 to cut the rotting posts and support
the roof while a new base is constructed.
Fortunately, there is $85,000 in unrestricted
Mendelson Trust Accounts which can be
used for this purpose. Katherine Holmes,
Chair of the Bandstand Committee was pres-
ent and agreed that those funds may be used
to make taxpayer funding unnecessary.
Elkins project to begin soon
The Department of Transportation is
reviewing the final design of the Elkins Sidewalk project. When the review is completed,
the project will go out for bid. After the bid
is selected, construction will begin on the
sidewalks from the post office to the Wilmot
town line, repairs of five culverts, a pedestrian bridge and repaving of Elkins Road. The
project will take the entire summer. Efforts
will be made to minimize disruptions due to
the traffic.

Sunapee Town Manager Donna Nashawaty followed up with
the insurance company regarding the outstanding police detail bill.
This bill has nothing to do with the MV Kearsarge and Mt. Sunapee
contract, but there is a clause in the contract that talks about bonding and insurance. Apparently, when the boat partially submerged,
the detail bill would have been paid if they had not reached their
insurance coverage limit. Nashawaty wanted the Board to know
that this was an issue. The bill is still unpaid and the Fentons were
offered a payment arrangement. Nashawaty thought this should
be discussed with the Board before the contracts were signed.
She thinks the Board needs to review the bonding or insurance
coverage with the Fentons before signing the contract. The Board
tabled signing the contract and the Town Manager will talk with the
Fentons regarding insurance coverages.
Bow OK's mirror at White Rock entrance
Joyce Hill, a member of the White Rock Board, presented the
Bow Selectmen with the request to install acrylic mirrors on an
appropriate tree, either two rectangular mirrors or a 36” round one.
Town Manager David Stack explained the responses from Public
Works and Police and noted that a liability waiver would need to be
signed by the condominium association.The Board unanimously
approved installing a mirror by private contractor, subject to a
satisfactory release of liability and indemnification agreement being worked out by town counsel, for a term of years to be recommended by town counsel, with permission to mount on a tree if an
appropriately located tree can be found.
Antrim Grange wants to plant a garden
Renee Mercier Gerritsen , a member of the Antrim Grange requested that the Selectmen give the Grange permission to use Town
property for a vegetable/flower garden. Two sites were discussed:
the first, the piece of land directly behind the town office and the
other below the skate board park. She emphasized that the Grange
was not looking for funding as a small shed and tools would be
donated, the garden would consist of raised beds, and the vegetables would be given to either the Food Pantry or to people who
need them, and the gardens would not be fenced. The Board asked
the Grange to make a drawing of what they propose to do and come
back to another meeting, but the consensus was that they were in
favor of the project.

NEASC Evaluation Team gives high marks to Hillsboro-Deering
A 16 member team from the New
England Association of Schools & Colleges
recently spent four days conducting an all
access evaluation at Hillsboro- Deering High
School. On Wednesday afternoon, Team
Leader Dan Warner presented the team's
findings to a packed room of anxious SAU
#34 and H-D faculty and staff.
Warner quickly put them at ease when
he said, "From multiple sources of evidence
and in countless conversations with faculty,
parents and students, the resurgence of the
"Hillcat" is nothing short of transformative."
"Resurgence," he said, "was a purposeful
choice. The faculty saw a school community
in decline and decided to take control of the
direction of Hillboro-Deering.
Your school's competent and involved
administration have created an environment where discussion and give and take
regarding the governance of the school is the
rule rather than the exception," he said crediting Principal Jim O'Rourke, Asst Principal
Jennifer Crawford and faculty team leaders
Alex Luhtjav and Sara Paquette. Continuing with his praise, he said, "The committee
was especially impressed with the level of
respect and cooperation pervasive through-
out the entire school community ... Parents,
teachers and kids all commented on the
increased civility and respect between all
parties at HDHS."
Warner concluded by saying, "You have
structures in place to get this ball rolling.
Work through the tough issues together and
realize this is the new future for HDHS. You
have said that this is what you want, now go

Bow Safety Supporters hosting Breakfast
Selectman Colleen Hunter reported that the mission of the
grassroots group called the Bow Safety Supporters is “to support
Bow’s emergency responders” and to raise money for a new emergency response building. She showed the “Bow Safety Supporter”
bracelets and a glass jar where over $200 has been raised. On
Saturday, April 18th there will be a pancake breakfast fundraiser

Antrim woman arrested for Trespassing
Sage Brekka called the Antrim Police to say that Jennifeer
Herne had broken into the apartment. Police responded to the residence with Officer Normand of the Hillsboro Police Dept. Officer
John Griffin found Ms. Herne asleep in the downstairs apartment.
Herne had been advised previously not to be at the apartment
after 4-1-15 or she would be arrested for Criminal Trespass. Herne
was placed under arrest for Criminal Trespass and was released on
$1000 Personal Recognizance bail and given a court date of May
21st at the 6th Circuit District Court in Hillsboro.
Hancock house fire inside damage limited
A Hancock couple and their guest were startled when their
home fire alarm went off. Exiting the house, they saw flames coming from the roof. When firefighters arrived, they spotted flames
and heavy smoke with considerable damage to the roof and skylights. According to Assistant Fire Chief Tom Bates, because of the
type of construction there was only minor damage to the interior of
the house. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but officials suspect a chimney fire as there was a fire in the fireplace when
the fire started. Crews from Antrim, Bennington, Peterborough,
Nelson, Stoddard, and Dublin assisted.

The Auburn Selectmen recently voted 2 to 1 to bring Bill Herman back as Town Administrator, following his resignation from
that position on February 13th. Selectwoman Dale Phillips made a
motion to ask Herman to return, and Selectman James Headd voted with Phillips in support of Herman’s return. Selectman Richard
Eaton opposed the hiring. He has maintained that after Herman’s
resignation the town should have assessed the position and looked
to see if there were others available for the job.

Deering Selectmen say Firefighter/EMT pay raises "premature"
The Deering Selectmen reviewed the Firefighter/EMS pay scale adjustment proposed
by Acting Chief Connor. Town Administrator
Russ McAllister noted that the pay adjustment slips for the personnel files had already
been completed by Connor. The sentiment of
the Board was that such an adjustment at this
early juncture is premature.
The vote taken at Town Meeting only added money to the wage line of the fire and EMS
budgets. Ms. Fife noted that during an earlier
Board meeting both Acting Chief Connor and
Capt. Murdough agreed to present a revised
pay scale at the April 1st Board meeting. Mr.
Belouin explained that a performance review
was also necessary and that the Board had
been asking for those from the Fire Department since April/May 2014.
McAllister explained that performance
reviews were an important component in
the overall administrative function of the fire
department. Should the Chief terminate a
member of the department it is necessary to
have documentation regarding performance
within an employee’s file to avoid a wrongful
termination suit.
He also noted that several department
promotions had occurred and no paperwork
associated with these employment changes
had been submitted for inclusion within the
affected employee’s personnel file. Further,
it is also necessary to have an established
promotion process that is competitive, and
documented, which ensures both accountability and transparency in the promotion and
hiring process. Chief Connor explained that
it is difficult to conduct performance reviews
on personnel who work out of town. Mr. Gill
agreed that it is not easy, but that is an important responsibility of the Fire Chief.
Winners of the recent Pinewood Derby at Contoocook Valley Bible Chapel were: Kennedy Chrisgaw-Most Creative; Braden Hunt-3rd; Brody Corriveau-2nd; Kaylee Hunt-1st; Noah Dailey-4th.

A Guide for New Hampshire’s Active Seniors
Publisher’s Perspective
by Leigh Bosse
At last! A politician with guts and commitment
"When half of the people get the idea
that they do not have to work, because the
other half is going to take care of them, and
when the other half gets the idea that it does
no good to work, because somebody else is
going to get what they work for, that is the
beginning of the end of any nation."
That simple fact is routinely ignored by
politician who seek reelection by promising
more and more "ENTITLEMENTS" to more
and more people.
We know that these so called "entitlement" are bleeding the life out of our
economy.
As far back as the Clinton administration, there was talk of the need for entitlement reform, but nothing has been done by
a cowardly Congress, fearful of defeat.
Well, surprise, surprise. Last week, Republican presidential hopeful Chris Christie
proposed a bold 12-step plan to reform
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and
disability programs.
Christie said his plan would reduce the
growth of entitlements by more than $1
trillion over the next decade.Christie's plan
includes: ­
* Raise the retirement age for Social Security to 69 and raise early retirement to 64.
* Raise the eligibility age for Medicare
one month per year, so that by 2040 it
would be 67 years old; ­
* Eliminate the payroll tax for seniors
who stay in the workforce over 62.
* Future retirees with income up to
$80,000 would receive full, regular benefits,
but those with greater than $80,000 would
receive benefits on a sliding scale, with
benefits phased out entirely for those with
$200,000 in other income per year.
* Expand existing means-testing for
premiums for higher-income seniors for
Medicare. Seniors with $85,000 annual
income would pay 40 percent of premium
costs, with the scale increasing to 90 percent
for those with income more than $196,000
a year.
* ­Greater cost-sharing to the drug prescription program, Medicare Part D.
* ­Per-capita caps indexed to the number
of Medicaid enrollees, giving each state a set
amount of funds per enrollee.
*Adjust the funds to the rate of inflation
going forward for Medicaid.
* Simplify the waiver process for
states to have greater flexibility in crafting
programs, and requiring small co-pays for
Medicaid enrollees with incomes above the
100 percent federal poverty level.
You will soon hear cries from the left
that Christie is cold hearted, cares little for
the average citizen and will balance the
budget on the backs of the poor.
I prefer terms such as Overdue, Bold,
Courageous, and Truthful. Leaders are born
in such ways.

NH drug policy:
live free or die?
The State Senate Judiciary Committee
listened for several hours last week while a
wide variety of citizens, organizations, public officials and fellow
lawmakers made
arguments for and
against HB 618, a bill
that would lower the
penalties for possessing less than half-anounce of marijuana.
The speakers were
old and young and
represented the entire spectrum of political
ideologies. Some of the opponents wore
badges, some of the proponents used to.
Some parents argued for the bill, others
against it.
This is not the conversation about
whether people who are in pain or otherwise suffering should be able to take
medicinal marijuana instead of other
prescription drugs that many times include
harsh side-effects or are simply less effective. We’ve had that debate and the state
is in the (far too slow) process of licensing
several medical marijuana dispensaries.
This is about whether or not New Hampshire should decriminalize possession of
“small” amounts of pot.
One of the most common arguments
for HB 618 is that getting caught with a few
joints of marijuana should not be a defining moment for young men and women
who still have most of their lives ahead of
them. Pot possession in New Hampshire is
a Class A misdemeanor. It carries a heavy
fine, the possibility of jail time and creates
a criminal record. As a result of being arrested for holding a joint a high school student may find it hard to land a summer job,
lose a college scholarship, have a military
recruitment offer rescinded or otherwise
see their plans for the future…well….go up
in smoke.
Supporters of decriminalization say the
penalty should be a simple violation like a
traffic ticket, which is what minors in possession of alcohol face.
Opponents of decriminalization say
marijuana is a gateway drug, is particularly dangerous for young people and that
lowering penalties will encourage increased
usage. Older users of marijuana would also
like to see penalties lowered, so this isn’t
By District 8 State Senator Jerry Little
just about putting youthful indiscretion in
the proper light. Many older constituents
have either called me or sent e-mails suggesting that, as adults, they should have a
right to decide what they ingest, that other
attempts at prohibition have ultimately
failed and that scarce public funds spent
to catch and prosecute casual pot smokers
could be put to better use. It’s a personal
liberty argument that, I think, carries some
weight. The argument about not derailing
the life plans of young people over less than
half-an-ounce-of pot makes some sense to
me, too.
That was Tuesday.
On Friday 250 representatives of law
enforcement, health care and government
gathered to talk about New Hampshire’s
heroin/opioid abuse problem, which is
this: last year drug overdoses killed more
people in New Hampshire than traffic
accidents. According to the state medical examiner, 321 people died from drug
overdoses in New Hampshire in 2014.
Many hundreds more overdosed but did
not die. They went to hospital ERs. A good
number of them will end up in jail eventually. Hopefully more will find a path to
recovery instead.
How do we reconcile these two issues?
One suggests that our pot possession penalty doesn’t match the crime and that we’re
taking marijuana use too seriously. (The
UNH Survey Center tells us a majority of
state residents think we should legalize and
tax pot.) The other, the death by overdose
tragedy playing out in our communities
every day, suggests we’re not taking the
broader issue of substance abuse seriously
enough. And I haven’t touched on the
corrosive effect alcoholism has on society,
which also needs to be part of this debate.
In a recent report the substance abuse
prevention and treatment advocacy group
New Futures pegged the annual cost of alcohol and drug abuse to New Hampshire’s
economy at $1.84 billion. That includes the
cost of law enforcement and corrections,
medical services, treatment and recovery,
lost employee productivity and other things
like car crashes. We can price out broken bones fairly well. Broken homes and
hearts…not so easily.
If this really comes down to which is
worse, the loss of a scholarship or the loss
of a life, I’ll side with saving lives. I hope we
can find a way to do both.

Area youth perform with the Purple Finches Children's Chorus
Nine current and alumni members of the
Concord Community Music School’s Purple
Finches children’s chorus were selected to
participate in the Organization of American
Kodaly Educators (OAKE) National Conference Choirs, following a nationally competitive
audition process. The students performed in
the finale concert at the OAKE National Conference, a four-day event that brings together
teachers, conductors, and clinicians from
across the country. This is the first year that all Music School
students who auditioned won a place in the
National Choirs: Olivia and Wyatt Dodd of
Dunbarton; Tessa Foley of Concord; Sophia
Isaak of Durham; Rose Kosciuszek of Weare;
Tess Parrott of Rochester; Harriet Pearce of
Hopkinton; Amelia Smith of Bow; and William
Veenstra of Canterbury.
“It’s magical. It truly is,” said Olivia Dodd,
who sang in the Concert Women’s Choir. “You
walk in, you know all this music that you’ve
been studying for months, and you know
nobody there. And yet we all open our mouths
and start to sing the same music. And we’re
instant friends, because we all know the same
stuff and have the same interests.”
The Purple Finches children’s chorus is
open to kids grades K-8. Members learn musical literacy through regular rhythm, solfege,
and ear-training, based on Kodaly methods.
The chorus performs frequently, including regular holiday performances at the Capitol Center
for the Arts. The group is sponsored by Granite
Investment Advisors. For more information on
the Purple Finches, call 603-228-1196 or visit

special celebration. To
help commemorate
the event, United
States Army General
and New Hampshire
native, David G.
Perkins, will give
the Commencement

Newport accident leads to several charges
Corbin Simoneau, 23, of Newport was taken to New London
Hospital after crashing his car into several large trees on Cheney
Sreet. Police received several calls just before 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday about the crash. Simoneau was extracted from the car by the
Newport Fire and EMS using the Jaws of Life and was taken to
New London Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. Witnesses told police Simoneau was traveling at a high rate
of speed prior to the collision. An additional investigation showed
that alcohol might have also been a contributing factor to the crash.
Simoneau was charged with Driving While Intoxicated, Reckless
Operation and Possession of Drugs in a Motor Vehicle. The collision remains under investigation by the Newport Police Department Accident Reconstruction Team.

Newport bus drivers vent their frustrations
Newport school bus drivers continued to air their frustrations
at the latest meeting of the Newport School Board last Thursday
night. They vented their concerns over the lack of qualifications of
Chad Howe, who sat quietly and listened, to lead the department,
his salary and the lack of qualified drivers to fill in when needed.
Kurt Minich wanted to know why Howe was getting paid $46,000.
Timothy Maynard was upset with the need to double up bus runs
when Superintendent Cindy Gallagher acknowledged that Howe
is not yet qualified as a bus driver, but said earlier he would be
pursing his CDL license by summer. When asked if there was
any chance at reinstating Diane Callum if Howe doesn't pan out,
Gallagher replied that “Diane can apply along with anybody else.”
Daniel Bailey was elected to fill the fifth board created by the earlier
resignation of Karen Little. Deanna Armstrong, Ann Spencer and
Shannon Howe support Bailey, with Chair Wadensten casting the
lone negative vote.
Goffstown Police to receive two Cruisers
The Goffstown Police Department intends to purchase two
Ford Utility Police Interceptors in setting the 2015 budget. Irwin
Motors in Laconia was awarded the state bid price of $24,979.
Based upon the required options that Goffstown was seeking to
maintain continuity with other like equipped vehicles, the final cost
with titles and documents fees were $26,698. Grappone Ford in
Concord was able to match the identical price from Irwin Motors
at $26,698. Police Chief Robert Browne explained that with the
cost savings of having to travel to Concord with three members to
retrieve two vehicles, it would make more sense than having to
travel to Laconia to get vehicles at the same price.
Francestown exploring joint police force
After swearing in four new officers and a new Officer in Charge,
the Francestown Police Department is considering combining
their department with another. According to Town Administrator
Michael Branley, he would be discussing the possibility with both
Greenfield and Bennington Select Boards. Francestown currently
spends $146,925 annually for the Police Department, Greenfield
$224,123 and Bennington $250,327.
New London brush fire quickly extinguished
Wednesday was a high fire danger day, and it proved true for local fire fighters. Just before 1:30 pm New London Fire Department
went to a 1st Alarm brush fire on Little Lake Sunapee Road. Mutual
Aid companies assisted with putting the blaze out that started from
un-permitted brush fire.
If you already have a rabies certificate, be sure to bring it with you.
The Henniker Town Clerk will be on hand to license all residents’ dogs
for 2015. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Farmsteads of
New England, Hillsborough, NH.

Weare considers restructuring Public Works Dept.
Tim Redmond presented the Weare
Selectmen with a Conceptual Restructuring
of DPW Positions. He told the Board that
he would like to eliminate the two foreman
positions and have two superintendent
positions.
He would still oversee the departments
and budgeting, but the restructuring would
free him for other day to day activities.
There will be no pay scale increases, just
the transferring of day to day responsibilities to two individuals; one at Highway and
one at Transfer. John Osborne is scheduled
to retire. The Highway foreman and Transfer Station foreman will have expanded
job descriptions with the restructuring
allowing Redmond to have more time for
his other duties. Vice Chairman Clow asked
if the present foreman at the Highway
Department would meet qualifications and
get the position, Redmond said yes and he
is qualified for the position. Redmond will
put something together to provide to the
Board.
Deering Town Administrator's performance review
The Deering Selectmen recently
conducted Town Administrator Russell Mcallister's performance evaluation
with a review of work activities and their
contribution to improved operational
efficiency, staff development and morale
over the last year.
The review included comments and
participation from each Board member
and from Mcallister as well.

Proposed Goffstown Pawn Shop Ordinance draws fire
Monday's public hearing on Goffstown's proposed ordinance to regulate
pawnshops and secondhand stores drew
opposition from business owners, saying
it would hurt small businesses.
If adopted, the ordinance would
require business owners to pay an annual fee of $250 to help defer the cost
of a software program for police called
LeadsOnline, which tracks every item that
enters a pawnshop, including a description, make, model and serial number,
as well as information about the seller,
including their home address. Rep. John
Burt, R-Goffstown, spoke out against the
ordinance, saying he is opposed to the
proposed annual fee of $250, and section
5A of the ordinance, which punishes
business owners. Rep. Claire Rouillard, RGoffstown, said she was in favor of regulating pawnshops, but was not necessarily
in favor of the ordinance. Beverly Powden,
co-owner of Powden’s Jewelry agreed that
the town needs to do something to regulate the sale of stolen goods in pawnshops,
but thought this ordinance goes too far. A
second public hearing will be held at the
town hall, 16 Main St., on Apr. 27 at 7 p.m.
The selectmen will vote on the ordinance
no later than May 10.

Margery Hall Howard
HENNIKER - Margery Hall Howard,
born in Philadelphia on June 20, 1921, to

ten challenging and memorable years in
a New England farm house with horses,
apple trees, gardens and all the adventures associated with raising a family and
multiple pets, the Howards moved to New
Jersey. There Margery earned an M.S. in
Library Service from Rutgers University.
The family moved back to Massachusetts in 1966 to be closer to their beloved
summer home on Chebeague Island in
Maine. Margery worked as a reference
librarian at the Cary Memorial Library in
Lexington. During her 22 year career, she
was promoted to Reference Supervisor,
served several terms as Acting Assistant
Director, and was honored shortly before
retirement late in 1988 as the Lexington
Town Employee of the Year. Retirement
provided an opportunity for Bob & Marge
to move to Yarmouth and spend most of
the year on Chebeague Island where they
had helped found the library in 1965. On
Chebeague Margery pursued her love of
sailing and gardening and delighted in
visits from her grandchildren, whom she
initiated into the joys of gathering shells,
painting sand dollars and digging clams.
Though reserved by nature, Marge was a
loyal friend, especially to her Smith College housemates with whom she continued to correspond until shortly before her
death. She was loved by many for her wit,
inquisitiveness, unpretentious grace and
resourcefulness. Marge is predeceased by
two younger brothers, Douglas Hall and
Alan Hall, and her husband, Robert. She is
survived by her four children, Rob, Chris,
Jean and John, and seven grandchildren
and four great grandchildren who will
miss her tremendously. Funeral Services
will be held on Sunday, April 19 at noon in
the Congregational Church of Henniker,
New Hampshire.

Guthrie of New Jersey; two grandchildren;
and three sisters, Peggy Silva, Colleen

several nieces and nephews. He fell in love
with the Live Free or Die spirit of NH and
settled in Hillsborough. He served on that
town's Planning Board and was very active
in his small community. The Board of
Commissioners of the Emerald Lake Village District is donating a bench with Bill's
name on an engraved plaque in Eastman
Park in gratitude for his service. Bill and
his dog, Clancy walked miles every day
through the woods and beaches of Hillsborough. At the time of his death, Bill and
a business partner in Dallas were about to
launch a new tech company. Bill requested
no formal services. In lieu of flowers,
