Joe Branch moved the article seeking the sale of Parlin Field.
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

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE
Researchers have discovered that the concentration
in the blood of the antioxidants vitamin C and betacarotene are significantly lower in patients with
mild dementia than in control persons, according
to a study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s
Disease. 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 .

Bow Selectmen adopt a new street numbering system for several roads
During last week's meeting, the Bow
Selectmen held a public hearing on a proposed new address numbering system for:
Dicandra Drive, Ryan Road, Marions Way,
Page Road, Evangelyn Drive, Dow Road.
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.

Bennington veteran awarded $21 million malpractice claim against VA
Michael Farley, 60-year-old Navy
veteran from Bennington was recently
awarded a $21 million malpractice verdict
against the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Manchester.
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.
The Henniker Rotary Club held its 4-way test speech contest with 4 contestants from John
Stark and 2 from H-D. (L to R) Hazel Johnstone , Katherine Ort, Hailey Nase (3rd place),
Aliyah Brown (1st place), Jason Reid (2nd place), and Devon Turbox. Aliyah will be representing Henniker in two weeks at the Rotary District 7870 semi-finals competing with other
winners from NH and Vermont.
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.

Goffstown man arrested for kidnapping 13-year-old
A missing Boscawen teenager was

Selectmen appoint subcommittees to restore Henniker Highway Dept
The Henniker Selectmen have established two sub-committees to help deal with
the issues of replacing the burned Highway
Department trucks and the building, each
subcommittee consisting of 5 members at
large and Nate Hadaway, Road Agent. 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.
Despite efforts to sell the Western Ave
Bridge, there were no bids received by Administrator Christine Travato by Tuesday’s
2pm deadline.

Sullivan replaces Campbell as Bennington Police Chief
Bennington swore in a new Police Chief
for the first time in nearly 20 years. 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.

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.”

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.

Antrim Scouts collecting food for the Food Pantry
Last week, Boy Scout Troop 2 and Cub
Scout Pack 2 boys distributed paper "door
hangers" to make residents aware of a food
drive to benefit the Antrim-Bennington Food
Pantry. This Saturday, April 4, Scouts remind
residents that they will be returning to pick
up donations beginning at 9 a.m. until noon.
Second Class Scout Sean Burwen, organizer
of the Antrim/Bennington event, says "I think
this is a great service we are doing for the community, and it feels great to be organizing this
event."The Antrim-Bennington Food Pantry
now helps to feed 125 families in the area, and
we unfortunately expect that number to grow
this year. The food drive will resupply us during a time when the need is great and the supply is low. Residents who receive a notice on
the door are asked to put out their food items

Safe Haven is a Life Saver to Animal Lovers in Crisis
Bedford, NH (April 8, 2015) – “No, I won’t leave my pet behind!” is an exclamation heard by many first responders trying to help victims of domestic violence or natural disasters. 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-

munities by helping pets and the people who care for them, the League has
developed a collaborative relationship with the New Hampshire Coalition
Against Domestic and Sexual Violence (NHCADSV).
“We are so honored to be working with the Animal Rescue League of New
Hampshire on this project,” said Maureen McDonald, Community Relations
Director at NHCADSV. “Victims often tell us that their abusers have made
threats against their animals, so the fear of what will happen if those animals
are left behind is real. 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.

HERCULES
His owner fell on hard
times and is no longer
able to care for him.
He may enjoy the
company of another
dog, but a meeting at
the shelter is needed.
He is looking for a
home without children
and will not be appropriate for an apartment. Consider Hercules, if you are looking
for a pint-sized companion.

6th Annual "Taste Of Hillsboro" set for April 18th
Hillsboro NH Scholars is proud to announce the sixth annual “Taste of Hillsboro” event. 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.
