Bow High School honored
Named 'New Hampshire High School of Excellence'
Bow High School students returned from
spring vacation to a delayed start of their
classes. They were assembled in the auditorium
to hear the good news. The NH Excellence in
Education Initiative (EDies), which recognizes
New Hampshire public schools that meet
high standards of excellence and can serve as
representative of the many excellent schools
throughout the state, has selected Bow as the
2015 NH High School of Excellence.
Peter Weave, Chair of the Selection Committee and a former Bow teacher, praised the
faculty, staff and students as "creative, talented
and fully engaged."
Principal John House-Myers shared the
spotlight by inviting all the faculty and students
who worked with the Selection Committee to
come forward and be recognized.The school
will be honored again on June 6th at the 22nd

Weare Selectmen drop search for new Police Chief - to stay with Kelly
On April 20th, the Weare Selectmen met
with nine residents who volunteered on the
Police Chief Search Committee. 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.

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE
A study published by PLOS ONE reports that muscle

According to a study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, women who took ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) two or more days per week had an increased risk of hearing loss.
The more often a woman took either of these medications, the higher
her risk for hearing loss. Also, the link between these medicines and
hearing loss tended to be greater in women younger than 50 years old,
especially for those who took ibuprofen six or more days per week.

Bow Selectmen appoint new Public Safety Building Committee
The Bow Selectmen recently conducted
interviews of volunteers for a new Bow
Public Safety Building Committee. 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

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.

for job creation, tax reform and national security. Prior to being
Governor, Gilmore was the State Attorney General and an elected
prosecutor and gave his insights into events in Baltimore.

Henniker Selectmen moving forward to restore Highway Dept.
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

LIVINGSTON’S
Alchemists' Community Films a group from Henniker that does residencies of various
lengths in a community with the end result being a short film based on the history and
people of that community. They were in residence April 27th to 30th in a camp sponsored
by Hopkinton Park & Rec with 12 young people ages 6 to 14. Their film adventure started
(of course) at the Hopkinton Historical Society Museum and 250 years/12 minutes later
ended there. Upcoming film camps are at Henniker Community Center (on deaf education in Henniker's early days) July 24th and 25th, and as part of Hillsboro's Living History
event (a teaser to celebrate Amy Beach's 150th birthday in 2017) Aug. 15th and 16th.

Cyr Lumber & Home Center holds Grand Opening of Warner store
With the sun shining down, a crowd
gathered at Cyr Lumber & Home Center in
Warner for the grand opening celebration.
Founder of the company, Ron Cyr, cut the
ribbon as members of his family and others
looked on. 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.” ContractorsQuality work, great prices

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.

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.

The Henniker Chamber of Commerce hosted another successful Town-Wide Cleanup Day on Saturday.
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.

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.
