On April 27th the board invited everyone back to tell them that the Board had talked to Interim Chief Kelly last week before interviewing the candidates. After the meeting with Kelly, and the interviews, the Board agreed to continue negotiating with Chief Kelly and dropping the search for a new chief. The reason for asking everyone back was to inform everyone face to face of the Board’s decision and to allow everyone the opportunity to comment and ask questions. Vice Chairman Clow stated that Chief Kelly would stay as part time, 32 hours a week. The Board felt that the town need the continued consistency now more than ever. The Board felt it was paramount to move forward and that it was not the time to change the leadership. Chairman Lacasse stated that the initial stance was no to the 32 hours, but residents have come forward indicating that the Board should reconsider Chief Kelly and not discount the idea. Chief Kelly has taken us through a couple of storms and got us through CALEA. 32 hours doesn’t seem to be an issue; he has been doing it for the last six months. Chairman Lacasse responded that the Board is negotiating a three year contract that can be reevaluated, and if things have changed that would warrant moving to a full time Chief. When asked if it was feasible for Chief Kelly to live out of town especially in case of an emergency, he stated that yes he lives in Maine, 63 miles away. If this was 20 years ago, no, it would not be feasible, but he is confident that with today’s supervisors and the enhancement of technology, he could manage it while driving here. Vice Chairman Clow thanked everyone, apologized and asked for forgiveness on how everything turned out.

Chairman Harold Judd read the charge from the Article that passed at Town Meeting: “to develop detailed Design-Build specifications and Request for Proposal documents for the construction, based upon the supplied design specifications and with input from the police, fire and emergency management departments, of a combined Public Safety Building ranging in size from 20,000 square feet to 25,000 square feet, at a cost not to exceed five-million-dollars.” Judd said that he wants to be sure that Committee members will not be part of any proposal to build the facility once approval from the Town is received; that would raise concerns about a conflict of interest. They must be willing to state they will not be part of a proposal going forward. The following applicants discussed their interest and qualifications: Bob Pike of Peaslee Road; Fred Twombly of Heidi Lane; Glenn Dugas of Crocket Drive; Willis Sloat of Longview Drive; Dick Siciak of Branch Londonderry Turnpike; and Edwin (Ted) Bardwell of Bow Bog Road. Erin McLaughlin and Jeff Knight were noted as absent. The Selectmen asked Mr. Dugas to discuss this with his employer, Harvey Construction, and get back to the Town Manager regarding any potential conflict of interest. After a short break, the Board appointed Bob Pike, Fred Twombly, Willis Sloat, and Dick Siciak to the Public Safety Building Committee. Selectman Anderson wants to hear fromall the applicants, so he is going to vote no. Selectman Judd stated this will not eliminate the other two applicants from participating; they will be invited to attend the May 12th meeting. Budget Committee Chair John Wilson (r) is challenging incumbent Chair Janet Kidder for a seat on the New London Board of Selectmen.

Lost Peterborough hiker was unharmed A woman who got lost while hiking Mount Monadnock Sunday night walked out of the woods Monday morning unharmed. Kara Westbrook, 22, of Peterborough, was hiking alone when she lost the trail while walking down from the summit. She called 911 around 8:45 p.m. to report that she was lost just before her cellphone lost power. Mount Monadnock park personnel initially searched for her but could not find her. Conservation officers were called in around 1:30 a.m. to search the Dublin side of the mountain, which was her last known location. Through the night, Westbrook hiked down the mountain off trail before arriving at a home on Old Troy Road around 7 a.m. Drug overdose investigated in Antrim On Sunday May 3rd, Antrim Patrolman John F Giffin II responded to Smith Road to assist Antrim Ambulance with Robert Moran, 45, of Lowell, MA.

The Henniker Selectmen took a major step forward in restoring the town's Highway Department, devastated by a fire earlier this year. Meeting with the vehicle replacement Subcommittee, the Board accepted their recommendations to: • Purchase the 5 salvaged dump trucks, their plows and wings from the insurance carrier for $10,000 • Purchase a new 4-wheel drive 6 wheeler, and install a reclaimed plow and wing • Refurbish the second 4-wheel drive 6 wheeler with a new cap and nose, using the existing plow and wing • Purchase a used, 2008 10-wheeler • Purchase two new 10-wheelers with new plows and wings (Reclaimed ones to be used if needed to hold costs down) The mix of new and used vehicles allows the town to spread their eventual replacement over several years as part of a Capital Improvements Plan. The Board authorized the Committee to spend up to $635,000 on this equipment. The Board also accepted the recom- mendation to accept the insurance offer of $116,250 for the grader and not buy it back for $8,000, having already decided to purchase a new grader for $343,000. After deducting the current insurance offer the town's cost would be reduced to $603,000, which the committee feels can be reduced to about $550,000, leaving $650,000 of the approved $1.2 million bond to build a new highway garage. The Board also met with the building replacement committee and authorized it to issue a Request For Proposal (RFP) for a design build contract for the garage. DRED Commissioner Jeffry Rose speaks to around 200 people gathered at Mt Sunapee Resort to make comments about the proposed West Bowl expansion May 5. DRED Commissioner Jeffrey Rose and the Mount Sunapee advisory board heard comments from about 75 people who spoke both for and against the expansion at the mountain. Paul Howe photo.

The Cyr family purchased the former Hamilton Building Supply Company on Route 103 last summer, and have been remodeling, updating and stocking the shelves ever since. “With over 20,000 hardware items, we now have about ten times the inventory that was here previously, and we’ll expand our inventory as we learn people’s needs,” said Kevin Cyr, president of the company. “Although we’re an independent lumber and home center, through our affiliation with Ace Hardware, our purchasing power enables us to compete with the big box stores.” Ron and his wife, Rachel Cyr began a hardware store in Windham 30 years ago with just a small number of tools. That store grew from one employee to over 100 today. “We train all of our employees so they’re knowledgeable and are able to offer personal- ized service and advice. We‘ve already hired some local people, and we hope to provide more jobs as the business grows,” Kevin Cyr said. Cyr Lumber & Home Center carries a wide variety of building and home improvement items from windows, cabinets, doors and hardware to roofing, gardening supplies, lumber, decking, tools and more.“This is a great area, and we’re excited about becoming part of the community and providing our customers with great quality and service, as we have in our Windham store,” Kevin Cyr said. “Being just off Exit 7 of I-89, makes this a convenient location for many people.” ContractorsQuality work, great prices Donald Solomon Electrician 603-478-5621 405 West Main St. Hillsboro, NH Licensed and Insured donsolomonelectrician.com Duncklee Timberframe & Boat Works LLC. 494-0285 Kevin Cyr and Kitchen Designer Tiasha Willette welcomed all to the Grand Opening last weekend.

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 by Leigh Bosse Great teachers need to be retained It is nothing short of amazing. Earlier in the year, I was talking with HillsboroDeering DECA Advisor Marc Payeur about the prospects for this year's team. H-D's DECA program has been a dominant force state-wide and in National and International Competition, even finishing as high as #1 in the world. Having graduated so many senior members and having extended DECA to the Middle School, Marc was not optimistic about his young team's ability to compete. Surprise, surprise, H-D recently returned from the International Conference in Orlando, FL, with a pair of 8th place finishes in the world. Yes, that's in the world, in a competition that began with more than 3,000 teams. Yes, it's amazing, but it's not surprising. The key to a good education for our children is a great classroom teacher and Marc is certainly that. Marc's passion started the program and it is his guidance and leadership that has shepherded it to the top. Marc is not alone, Hillsboro-Deering is blessed with several outstanding teachers. Marc's co-advisor Joe Walker, who also advised the successful Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter, Music Director Heidi Welch and John Bramley who advises the Hillsboro Scholars group are the cream of the crop and must be encouraged, supported and rewarded. As one who is known to argue for reduced budgets, I need to remind Messenger readers that starting teachers salaries at H-D are $1,000 below the state average and average teachers salaries lag by nearly $2,000. Taxpayers need to keep a handle on school costs, but not at the risk of losing our top teachers. Guest Editorial By Joyce Bosse National Teacher Appreciation Day I read with sadness today that Winnifred Bassett, a long-time teacher at Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School passed away recently at the age of 93. As a second grader in her class, I always thought that she was "old" then, but she actually wasn't. For 30 years she taught 2nd grade, often seeing children of the students she had taught years earlier. As I'm now the "old" one, I actually don't remember a lot about 2nd grade, but I do remember her kindness and gentle spirit. RIP, Miss Bassett. www.granitequill.com | may 8, 2015 | The Messenger | Page 13 Lawyers, guns and money Lawyers - New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph Foster wants more lawyers for the Department of Justice he oversees. As a former state senator, he knows our fiscally conservative legislature and the budget process very well, and realizes he may not get more attorneys by simply proposing that we increase the number of them on the state payroll. Instead, he’s come up with a rather creative way to increase his staff without costing New Hampshire much money; he’d like to take attorneys from other departments of state government. Not too long ago the vast majority of lawyers working for the state were assigned to the AG’s office. There was no rule or reason behind it. It just made sense to most folks that the state would essentially run its own law firm and, when state agencies needed legal help, they would contact the Attorney General’s office. At some point state agencies began requesting their own in-house attorneys to draft and update rules, act as legal counsel to commissioners and interact with the private lawyers that often represent businesses that come before their various regulatory bodies. Now most of the lawyers working for the state do so outside of the Office of the Attorney General. According to testimony AG Foster recently presented to the Senate Finance Committee, agency-based lawyers regularly reach opinions that are inconsistent with each other as well as statewide legal policy set by the AG. That, he says, causes his office to spend valuable time sorting out issues of inconsistency that wouldn’t arise if more of the state’s attorneys were assigned to his office. The solution, says the Attorney General, is Section 21 of HB 2, the companion bill to the state budget. It’s language that would authorize the Governor, upon the request of the Attorney General, to transfer lawyers working for other state agencies to the Department of Justice. The section goes on to require all state agencies to notify the AG whenever an at- By District 8 State Senator Jerry Little torney position becomes vacant so that the position and any related funding can be transferred to the Department of Justice. As you might imagine, commissioners running the various agencies now employing these lawyers are not happy about this and are actively working to remove this language from the budget. Guns - The House has approved legislation that passed the Senate earlier this year to allow so-called “constitutional carry” in New Hampshire. Current law allows anyone who may legally own a firearm to carry it openly in public. In other words, it is currently legal for any New Hampshire citizen who is not a felon, who is not the subject of a restraining order or who is not mentally ill to openly carry a pistol or revolver as long as the weapon is visible, which usually means carrying the weapon in a belt-mounted holster. But put on a coat that covers it up and, unless you’ve applied for and received a pistol/revolver license (sometimes called a “concealed carry license”), you just broke the law. Supporters of the bill say most people carry their guns out of view simply out of deference to others who are made uncomfortable by them. The bill, now approved by the House and Senate and on its way to the Governor for consideration, would allow anyone who can legally own a gun to carry it concealed as well as openly. The governor has said she will veto the bill. Neither body passed the legislation by a margin big enough to override a veto. Money - The governor won’t have to worry about whether or not she should veto a casino bill this year. The perennial legislation to allow casino gambling in New Hampshire was killed by the House. The bill passed the Senate earlier this year by the narrowest possible margin of 13 yeas to 11 nays (a tie vote fails). An equally close vote was anticipated in the House. Most State House watchers were predicting a one or two vote margin, but no one was willing to predict if the bill would pass or fail there. So when the vote tally showed that the casino bill lost by more than 50 votes there was a long moment of stunned silence. Nonetheless, if you want a sure bet, put your money on yet another casino bill in the next session of the New Hampshire legislature.

Thefts continue at Weare Transfer Station Tim Redmond, Weare's DPW Director met with the Board to go over several things pertaining to the Highway Department and Transfer Station. Redmond explained the varius bids for th grader and recommended that the Board purchase the Nortrax grader with the optional dozer blade for up to $307,768.00; funding will be with a 5 year lease agreement to own the grader at the end of the lease. The Board unanimously approved. Director Redmond also informed the Board that theft has occurred again at the Transfer Station. 12- 15 batteries were stolen between April 18th and April 21st. He is going to pursue pricing for security cameras. Director Redmond presented the Board with his road plans for 2016-2020. He would like to have further conversation with the Board about possibly reorganizing to address more shim and overlay projects in an effort to protect the “good” roads. Finally, Redmond is working on getting an estimate to patch and overlay the Town Office parking lot, but he had not received all the figures, so he will return at a later meeting with those numbers. Antrim Parks & Recreation updates the selectmen At the last meeting of the Board of Selectmen, Parks and Recreation Director Celeste Lunetta gave an update on Antrim’s programs. She reported that last weekend’s bike safety program and fishing derbys went well and that the Antrim-Bennington Lions Club donated a bike which was raffled. Currently the Department is offering baseball, softball and lacrosse, with 34 boys in baseball, 21 girls in softball and 32 children in lacrosse. They’re also offering adult programs in basketball, volleyball, Zumba and pickleball. Non-sports programs include Tae Kwan Do and dance classes. At the Gregg Lake beach there will be new grill and picnic tables and there will be new information signs at both the beach and Memorial Park. As Celeste is about to go on vacation the assistant director position will not be filled until after she returns in June. She mentioned that the ConVal Youth Sports Association had contacted her regarding their programs. Their goals are to make sports affordable to all children and to have some consistency throughout the District before the students reach high school. After some discussion it was decided that the Parks and Recreation Department meet with the Association to hear what they’re proposing, and would report back to the selectmen. www.granitequill.com | may 8, 2015 | The Messenger | Page 15 Conservation Commission seeks to preserve 177 Goffstown acres David Neiman and Jean Walker from the Goffstown Conservation Commission met with the Selectmen Monday night seeking support to acquire a Conservation Easement on 177 acres off Snook Road adjacent to the existing Fullerton Easement. The property is valued at $425,000 but the landowner has agreed to absorb 1/3 of the cost. With a 50% grant from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, only $140,000 of local conservation funds would be needed, with ion impact on taxation. The Board appeared receptive, but differed action pending legal council's review of the easement language and a Public Hearing. Goffstown Republicans Meet The Goffstown Republican Committee will be electing their board of directors at the May meeting on Saturday, May 16th. Offices up for election are Chairperson, Vice-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. Anthony Howd, current chair-person said that he is anticipating that next year's officers will be a promising combination of new and experienced members. “The Committee will benefit from having new ideas while providing needed continuity of how to get things done,” he noted. Howd will be retiring from the position. The Goffstown GOP's board elections will be held at 9:30 a.m. at the Parks & Recreation building on Mast Road. David Neiman and Jean Walker of the Goffstown Conservation Commission. Winner of Newport's Top Dog Contest announced The winner of Newport’s 1st Annual Top Dog Contest was drawn at Monday’s Selectboard Meeting. And the winner is Sheba, owned by Lynn Boudreau. Boudreau and Sheba will receive a $100.00 gift certificate from Pleasant Lake Veterinary Hospital, a doggie gate, and the coveted #1 dog license number. Sheba will also have her photo on display in the town office. Liselle Durfort, Newport’s Town Clerk said they had 467 dogs registered during the month of April for the TOP DOG contest, up about 20 percent from last year. Durfort said anyone who has not registered their dogs should do so. Page 16 | The Messenger | may 8, 2015 | www.granitequill.com Attention Home BUYERS!
