NH law defines open enrollment schools as "any public school, which in addition to providing educational services to pupils residing within its attendance area or district, chooses to accept pupils from other attendance areas within its district and from outside its district.” The 2009 law is also called the “parental choice law,” as it establishes where a parent or guardian can send his or her child to school. According to McKenney, if approved in Franklin, anyone from any district in New Hampshire can apply to have their son or daughter attend any of the open enrollment schools listed.” Franklin's middle school and high school will both have space for new students available this fall and McKenney hopes to have the status of open enrollment established by then. The 24 high school students from Hill already at Franklin High will be allowed to stay and their tuition will cut the deficit to about $300,000. McKenney, who will be leaving in June, said the process with the school board and the city council is in the works. The Franklin School Board has voted to continue plans to become an open enrollment district, and a public hearing on the change is expected for June. If approved, open enrollment would begin July 1st, the same day that McKenney's replacement would start.

Lee Minnich, Goffstown Village Water Precinct Superintendent and Robert Bissonette of 76 Paige Hill Road met with the selectmen to discuss a problem with a private water line under Paige Hill Road. Lee said that the Town was going to be doing construction on Paige Hill Road starting this month, but there is a 2 inch private water line that leads up to a private road which is leaking badly, but there is no meter, so we don’t know how much water is leaking out. DPW Director Adam Jacobs came up to brief the Board on what they knew about the situation. The main concern is the current paving schedule with a potential fracture, and if it’s a public line and it is damaged, there's concern about using public funds on private land. Mr. Bissonnette said he doesn’t believe the line is private because the town has a ROW to fix it. I understand the reason to fix the road. He proposes the Town donate 2 days to dig it up and he pays for the pipe. So the pipe won’t be in the road. He thought it would $1,000 for the pipe and if that gets rid of the problem and he has water (then that would be good). Jacobs estimated 3 days (of work) and a cost of $5,500 to $7,000 so there would be a cost to GVWP and to the Town. Chairman Georgantas explained to Mr. Bissonnette that it’s the Water Precinct that supplies the water not the Town. GVWP owns the line. say you Top Ten NH High Schools US News & World report has ranked the top 10 high schools in NH and area schools dominate that list: #1 Hopkinton High School, #3 Bow High School, #5 John Stark High School, #7 Goffstown High School. do. They have the responsibility to maintain it. Superintendent Minnich told the Board that DigSafe has been called and "we’ll be doing the work on Thursday of digging up the pipe so by next Monday I expect to know." Chairman Georgantas said, "We’ll know that have the legal opinion, so we’ll put it on for next Monday." Lee Minnich, Goffstown Village Water Precinct Superintendent (l) and Robert Bissonette (r).

Therefore, it is especially good news that in several African countries, malaria parasites are succumbing to the formerly used drug chloroquine. The results have just been published in the AmeriBY SARAH CHAPIN can Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene . Chloroquine costs only 25 US cents for a four-day cure, while the current and corresponding ACTs cost two dollars. Chloroquine was a fantastic malaria drug that lasted for 50 years. • • • A new study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry has outlined for the first time a biological mechanism by which zinc deficiency can develop with age, leading to a decline of the immune system and increased inflammation associated with many health problems, including cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disease and diabetes. About 40 percent of elderly Americans and as many as two billion people around the world have diets that are deficient in this important but often underappreciated micronutrient. • • • Oral anticholinergic medications for treating a type of incontinence in women is roughly as effective as Botox injections to the bladder, researchers report in the New England Journal of Medicine, with each form of treatment having benefits and limitations. Women are twice as likely as men to experience urinary incontinence, and older women are more likely to experience it than are younger women. An estimated 15.7 percent of U.S. women experience urinary incontinence. Pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, and the structure of the female urinary tract account for this difference. • • • Presented as a service to the community by HENNIKER PHARMACY • 603-428-3456 P.O.Box 718 • Proctor Square • Henniker, NH 03242 Serving the heating needs of Henniker and the surrounding towns for over 60 years.

Missing Newport muskets returned home Chairman Nichols said there used to be three musket replicas in the Civil War Memorial on the Common. He said they went missing in the 60's and due to budgets, they were never replaced. Chairman Nichols said that a member of the Towle School Class of '55, Bruce Maxham, offered to donate whatever needed to be done to bring those muskets back to the Memorial. Between the efforts of Mr. Maxham, Larry Cote, Paul Brown, Ken Dennis, and Sturm Ruger, the muskets will be reconstructed and put in place on Memorial Day weekend. The muskets were on display at the Opera House on May 12, 2015 during voting. Chairman Nichols expressed his appreciation to all.

College President Thomas C. Galligan Jr. said he recalled the song “Scarlet Begonias,” by the Grateful Dead. “There is a youthful arrogance to that song,” he said, that the graduates can learn from. “Well I ain’t often right, but I’ve never been wrong, it seldom turns out the way it does in the song. Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.” “You won’t always be right," Galligan said, "but if you do the best you can, you will never be wrong.” Galligan also acknowledged the more than 40 Colby-Sawyer students, a number of them graduating seniors, who are from Nepal, where an earthquake struck on April 25. “I have great confidence in the future of your nation and our shared planet,” he said. Michael Jauchen, an assistant professor of humanities, used Louisiana folklore in his commencement address titled, “The Feel of that Ol’ Rougarou,” a mythical swamp monster who walks the bayous of Louisiana, where Jauchen once lived. Translated, it means “the thing that is about to happen.” “What a perfect word for this feeling today,” he said, saying that life has an unpredictability about it each day that the graduating students now face. “A lot of those (unpredictable) things are going to be really wonderful,” he said. “That Rougarou is out there and it’s something to really be excited about. Krista Peace spoke proudly of her classmates in her senior address, saying “Take time to reflect on the excellence we have achieved here.” Colby Sawyer College Graduate Krista Peace takes a selfie with her classmates before giving the senior address at commencement at the college on May 9.

Chair Aaron Gill discussed several goals of interest including attracting / establishing a Montessori or Waldorf school in Deering as an alternative to the H-D School noting that many people currently tuition their children to other surrounding public and private schools.

He saw the fund raising activity as a means of encouraging citizen participation and building the necessary support for the project.

The School Board had interviewed the three finalists, Daniel LeGallo, Jay McIntire and Brian O’Connell and the trio had met with community members at an informal reception at Franklin Middle School. The plan was for the school board to select a new Superintendent last Tuesday, but questions of impropriety have delayed the selection by at least another week. Without naming any specific concerns or individuals who have questions about the search process, School Board member Peter Heath has asked the mayor to intervene through the city manager’s office, saying the top priority is to name a superintendent as soon as possible. Heath had previously told the Concord Monitor that “I personally believe certain (board) members were not satisfied as to the selection committee.” Franklin Mayor Ken Merrifield has said he is unsure what authority he has to con5/5/15 duct any review, as the cityxcharter Hillsborough News 3.55" 4.7" gives the school board with the authority to manage the schools.

It did not, so the Selectmen recommended moving the meeting back to March, and voters who rejected the proposal last year approved the article this year by a vote of 155-35. Voters also approved issuing up to $350,000 in bonds to repair the Academy Building, which houses the town officer with excess funds applied to Whipple memorial Town Hall. A committee was established to study the feasibility of adding a K-9 unit to the New London Police Department and an additional $78,775 was approved for the New London Hospital Ambulance to cover increased costs of losing the Newport Ambulance Service for backup. Janet Kidder retained her Selectboard seat for another three years edging out John Wilson 561-436. The only other contested race was for three 3-year terms for library trustees. Winning trustee seats were Wendy Dumis 661, Gordon Terwilliger 514, and Matthew J. Hubbard with 511 votes. Losing his bid for library trustee was W. Lansing Reed with 422. Zoning amendment 1, which changes the definition of a family, passed 772-167; and zoning amendment 2, that would have changed the signage ordinance was voted down 519-424.

So many came that they filled the four hundred seat Representatives Hall and the visitor’s gallery, which I estimate seats at least another 100. I’m told an overflow crowd of about 100 people went to the State House cafeteria to watch the hearing on a live audio/video feed. When 600 or so people make the trip to Concord for a public hearing it’s clear that there is a great deal of concern. Now add in the fact that many of them waited patiently to share their thoughts about the House-proposed budget with those of us on the Senate Finance Committee that a hearing scheduled to run from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. lasted until a little past midnight. I kept an unofficial tally of what people wanted to talk to us about in an effort to gauge which of the many controversial proposed cuts in the House-passed spending plan generated the most concern. My notes cover comments from 171 individuals. There were at least three dozen more people who came to the microphones I did not keep notes on, either because they came as part of a group who all said the same thing or because I was so impacted by the story shared by the previous speaker that it took me a moment to absorb it and get refocused. Ultimately we heard directly from about 200 people that night. Here’s what they told us. Nearly half of the people who spoke shared concerns about proposed cuts to mental health care. They opposed any reductions to programs serving children and adults with developmental disabilities. They asked for continued funding of aid for families caring in their homes for children born with disabilities and for adults with acquired brain disorders or with dementia. They also asked that the 10 bed crisis unit being built at the state hospital be staffed and opened on time to minimize the practice of holding people having mental health crisis’ in local hospital emergency rooms. Coming in second were requests for increasing state funding of programs to address By District 8 State Senator Jerry Little substance abuse prevention and treatment. More than two dozen people spoke about either their own struggles against drug and/or alcohol addiction, or about those of a loved one. I’m writing this on Mother’s Day evening and know it’s been a particularly hard day for the two moms who came to share heart rending stories of sons who recently died of heroin overdoses. The third most common comments were about funding organizations that provide emergency shelter and support for victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. In this case, the request is for grant money made available to local non-profit agencies that provide safe houses for battered and abused women and children. Fourteen people, primarily current students at either UNH, KSC or PSU, asked lawmakers to increase, not just maintain, the state subsidy paid to the University System of New Hampshire. System Chancellor Todd Leach has told us that without such an increase student tuition will go up next year. I’m a UNH graduate. The university system is important to me. I understand how important higher education is to the future well-being of the state and its residents. But compared to the severely handicapped who spoke to us through interpreters, women who shared stories of fleeing abusive relationships and a sea of yellow-shirted substance abuse survivors the well-dressed, well-spoken students seemed comparatively well-off. At least a dozen proponents of Meals on Wheels and ServiceLink spoke passionately for maintaining their current funding levels. A few fewer people came to advocate for the extension of Medicaid expansion. Seven or eight people who work in the restaurant and lodging trades made pitches for maintaining the state’s budget for promoting travel and tourism, while a half dozen asked the Senate to reject the House plan to raid the renewable energy fund. Issues garnering three of four votes of support included approval of a state employees pay raise, not increasing earlyretiree health insurance contribution levels, placing an animal rights activist on the Fish & Game Commission and support for NH Legal Assistance, the non-profit organization that provides legal services to low-income people. Please don’t interpret this article as a prediction of how the Senate might prioritize the state’s budget needs. It’s simply a report on which budget issues generated the most comments during the public hearing last week. Through it all one thing is clear; I’m about to make some of the toughest decisions of my life.
