Seastrand Case Update The NH Attorney General’s investigation into the alleged misconduct of former Police Chief David Seastrand during the questioning of a Colby Sawyer College student on March 6 could take at least two weeks more to complete. Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young said her office had received calls from “several” women regarding Seastrand’s conduct, but has not released details of the other complaints. She said this week that the investigation could take two or more weeks to complete.

Service to New London Dr. Donald Bent honored as dedicated public servant The New London Selectmen presented Dr. Donald F. Bent with a Proclamation honoring him on his retirement as the town's Health Officer after 32+ years of service. Bent retired from the US Navy as a Lieutenant Commander, and began his career in microbiology in 1957 after graduating with a PhD, and taught microbiology at Colby Sawyer College. Having resided in New London since 1959, he served as the town's Health Officer from 1961-1966. After teaching at the University of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on a Fulbright lecture- ship in 1967, he returned and resumed the Health Officer's position in 1985, serving until his recent retirement. In honoring Bent, the proclamation reads, "Whereas, Donald F. Bent served the Town of New London with pride, professionalism, and leadership, is well respected by the community and his co-workers; now, therefore; be it resolved the New London Board of Selectmen wish to express their deep appreciation to Donald F. Bent, PhD. for his commitment to, and the many years of service upon, the Town of New London." Newport man's bail increased to $25,000 Thomas Meade, 19, of Newport had his bail increased from $1,000 to $25,000 personal recognizance at his arraignment in Sullivan County Superior Court last Monday. He has been charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and is believed to be the getaway driver during a Claremont home invasion robbery. Authorities say Meade helped his accomplices, Aaron Kiniry, 26, and Ben Ecklund, 31, rob an 84-year-old Claremont man during a March 6th home invasion. Meade is said to have driven Ecklund and Kiniry to and from the home in a van provided by Jessica Russell, 33, of Claremont who pled guilty and is serving a 1-7 year prison sentence.

Parks said that after the town highway crew grades the road, it is left in worse condition than before the work. He complained about large rocks and grass clumps being left in the road and high gravel berms being left in front of their driveways. Public Works Director Richard Lee responded that his department routinely York Rakes all the town's dirt roads in the spring prior to laying down calcium to control the dust. He said that he simply does not have the manpower to go back and remove the rocks or grass clumps. The Board listened intently but offered little support for Parks' complaints. Peter Bianchi stated that he was familiar with all the dirt roads, and the "yours is the best." "You say the road is in deplorable condition," he continued, "but I didn't see it." Janet Kidder also inspected the road and found it to be "in good condition," and admonished Parks to refrain from inappro- Get well soon Jess Mock We at The Messenger offer our prayers and best wishes for the speedy recovery of Jess Mock, daughter of Kevin and Peg Mock, owners of the Henniker Farm and Country Store, who was recently in a serious motorcycle accident.

Our best to them and their families in this difficult time. priate language in future correspondence with town employees. Chair Tina Helm also found Fox Run Lane "not bad" and asked Parks to retract his statement that the Public Works Department just doesn't care, as they, like all town employees care a lot about the service they give. Helm called his remarks "not acceptable." Several Washington roads washed away in the recent storm. Quick response reopens Washington's roads Crews worked to re-open a road damaged by flash flooding in Washington Wednesday after several families were left stranded. The town crews raced the clock to get things repaired for the holiday. Faxon Hill Road was severely damaged. Crews had previously been working to replace a culvert. They will now have to go back to the drawing board for that project since the storm washed away their work. Officials rushed to re-open the road because there were more than 100 people on the other side who were stranded, but there were no evacuations. The floods left a mess on Old Marlow Road right behind the fire station. Crews added gravel for a makeshift repair there. Meanwhile, on Valley Road, crews succeeded in making the roadways passable.

Thursday events included a parade, fireworks, and family activities put on by the New Boston 4th of July Association. As part of town tradition, each year the New Boston Artillery Company fires off the Molly Stark Cannon for the crowd. The cannon dates back to the Revolutionary War. It was captured by troops under Gen. John Stark at the Battle of Bennington. The group believes it is the only piece of Revolutionary War artillery that is still fired today. www.granitequill.com | July 12, 2013 | The Messenger | Page 5 Deering Selectmen fire Town Administrator Craig Ohlson The Deering Selectmen have issued the following press release following a non-public meeting on Tuesday night. "Contrary to the rumors that have been noted recently in the public sphere, Town Administrator Craig Ohlson has not submitted his resignation to the Town. While that possibility was considered, after consulting with Town counsel and weighing multiple factors, the Board has voted unanimously to terminate Mr. Ohlson’s employment, effective today, in accordance with the terms provided in his employment contract. Pursuant to those terms, the Town is required to pay Mr. Ohlson severance pay equal to one month’s salary for each year of his employment with the town, approximately $53,000, and to continue his existing insurance benefits for ten months, unless he obtains such benefits from a subsequent employer. The Town has no further obligations. The Board did not make this decision quickly or reactively. Residents who follow the Board closely, or those who CORRECTION We goofed... In the June 28th issue of The Messenger we ran a photo of Hillsboro Lion John Van der Linde with a caption saying he received a "Paul Harris Fellowship." We were wrong. John was actually presented with a "Melvin Jones Fellowship," the highest award given by Lions International. The Paul Harris Fellowship is the highest honor conferred by Rotary International. volunteer time on committees, boards, or other town-related projects, are likely familiar with the ongoing concerns first addressed in 2012 that led to this decision. The Town Administrator vacancy will not be filled for the remainder of the year due to budget constraints; however, the position may no longer be necessary. Additionally, the Board will appoint a third Selectman at Wednesday’s meeting in order to ensure there is a full Board ready and able to meet the Town’s current and ongoing needs." See story on page 21. New London residents did more than stuff the cruiser, they stuffed 6 of them. Response to 'Stuff The Cruiser' overwhelming Police Chief Ed Anderson called the response to the Department's "Stuff The Cruiser" campaign "overwhelming." The event, in cooperation with the Kearsarge Lake Sunapee Community Food Pantry took place last Saturday at Hannaford's Supermarket. Officer David Keith placed the donated food and every day items in the cruiser for donation to the KLS Food Pantry. The Chief reports that the cruisers were rotated six times with over 2,000 pounds of food, along with nearly $600 in donations. Officer Keith was assisted by Administrative Assistant Donna Larrow, Corporal David Zuger and Officer Josh Fisher. SUMMER SALE!

Since the original decision, the town had accepted $40,000 in mitigation funds from Antrim Wind Energy to provide relief for view impacts on Gregg Lake, and the company has proposed eliminating the tower that would be positioned closest to and most visible from Willard Pond. AWE has also negotiated a purchase agreement for a 100 acre conservation easements on land surrounding some of the turbines. Antrim's acceptance of the easement was to be voted on at Town Meeting in March. With the SEC turn down of AWE's request for a rehearing the company has the option of appealing to the N.H. Supreme Court. Newport selectmen hold planning session The Newport Board of Selectmen and Town Manager Paul Brown held a Board Advance, a short and long term planning session addressing several issues including; Master Plan Review, Manager's Goals, and Board Policies. At the conclusion of the nearly seven hour session they decided on the following actions: 1.Distribute the Master Plan to appropriate boards, committees and commissions highlighting their areas of purview. 2. Examine ways to "sell" Newport to potential developers, working with ECON and the various boards, committees and commissions. 3. Review the Town's electronic presence and update accordingly. 4. Move forward with Recreation Center. Develop an operating policy for the Board. Warner approves $163,663 for new truck The Warner Selectmen recently held a Public Hearing on the purchase of Highway Equipment. Matt Waite, Director of Public Works is asking for their permission to replace the 1986 Mack dump truck. He presented two options, a 2014 Freightliner 10 wheeled dump truck for $186,885 complete with plow, wing and sander or a 2014 Freightliner 6 wheeled dump truck for $163,663, also complete. After the close of public comment, Chairman Hartman said the Board has been debating replacing the 1986 for a year and he feels it's time to make a decision. There is lead time needed for either vehicle to become ready for the next snow season. He then moved to purchase the 10 wheeler Freightliner for $186,885. The motion passed 2-0 as follows; Hartman – yes, Karrick – yes, Carson – abstained. www.granitequill.com | July 12, 2013 | The Messenger | Page 7 New London Selectmen approve Sunday hours at Transfer Station The New London Selectmen discussed the possibility of opening the Transfer Station on Sunday. Chair Tina Helm related that Sunday hours have been the number one request of attendees at the Non-Resident Taxpayer Meetings the last several years, and stated that "It's time to take action." Richard Lee, Public Works Director, had submitted a memo outlining several ways to do it, but reaffirmed his opposition to it, as unfair to department employees. Peter Bianchi said that although he appreciated Lee's position, it was a matter of fairness in providing service to the town's non-resident taxpayers. The Transfer Station currently employs three people, and Bianchi suggested that the facility be opened on Sunday mornings all year round. He recommends that current employees be given a half day off during the week and rotate manning the station with a new part-time employee on Sunday. Although opposed Lee said that whatever schedule the Board approves, his department "will make it happen." The Board then instructed Town Ad- ministrator Kim Hallquist to work with Lee in developing a schedule. Bill Nichols and Dean Proctor again recited the Declaration of Independence as part of Antrim's Independence Day Celebration.

Juxtapid is intended for use in combination with a BY SARAH CHAPIN low-fat diet and other lipid-lowering treatments. HoFH is a rare inherited condition that renders the body incapable of removing LDL cholesterol, often called the “bad” cholesterol, from the blood, causing abnormally high levels of circulating LDL cholesterol. In the United States, HoFH occurs in approximately one in one million individuals. For those with HoFH, heart attacks and death often occur before age 30. Juxtapid works by impairing the creation of the lipid particles that ultimately give rise to LDL. Juxtapid is a capsule taken once a day, without food, and at least two hours after the evening meal. Patients should take supplements that contain fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids daily while taking Juxtapid. • • • An updated review of placebo-controlled trials on Vitamin C and the common cold finds the vitamin may help people under heavy physical stress, such as marathon runners and skiers, to reduce their risk of catching a cold. As for the rest of the population, the review finds no evidence that regular supplementation of vitamin C reduces the chance of coming down with a common cold, although it may reduce the duration and severity of illness.

New Fire Station in Warner's future? The Warner Selectmen discussed the new Fire Station. Town Administrator Jim Bingham met with Rich Stanley, Ed Raymond and Ernie Nichols to review plans for the new fire station and discuss next steps to place it on the Town Warrant. Martha Mical asked if the new officers are in favor of the current site for a new station. Bingham said yes, they are also interested in the State parcel that has been offered to the Town. There was discussion about other properties, but they have homes on them. The current site has been through all the permitting process and the officers are ready to move forward. Chair David Hartman said he voted against the current site, and is not comfortable with it unless it can be proven that the property will not be washed out in the 500 year flood. Mical feels this site is limited, it doesn't allow for a drive-through station, and feels it would be better to spend the extra money and purchase a property that will provide exactly what is needed for a new fire station. Bingham said that the officers were disappointed that a warrant was not placed last year and are looking for direction from the Selectmen for next year Hartman said in keeping with the Capital Improvement Program the target was 2015, but Mical said it may take at least 3 years before the warrant is passed by the voters; history shows that major expenses take about 3 years on the warrant. Hancock fireworks draw record crowds Your Railroad Name Conway Scenic Railroad Address, City, Village, State, Zip NH North Conway JULY MARCH 12-14 & 19-21, 3-4 & 10-11, 2013 2013 With the Monadnock Region's largest fireworks shows in Jaffrey and Peterborough canceled, record crowds came to Hancock to see the patriotic display. Hancock's show usually draws 7-10,000 people but as the only Fourth of July fireworks show in the area, the crowds swelled. Police Chief Andy Wood added two additional officers in anticipation of a larger crowd. Jaffrey's Festival of Fireworks and Peterborough's Fourth of July firework shows were both canceled; Jaffrey's because of the rising security costs brought on by last year's bomb threat, and Peterborough's at ConVal High School to protect and preserve the recent upgrades to the athletic fields. Newport man one of six facing felonies A Newport man is one of six suspects arrested in a recent Claremont drug sweep who now are facing felony charges in the Sullivan County Superior Court. Jonathan Baldwin, 27, of Newport has been charged with selling a variety of narcotic prescription pills to the confidential informants in multiple locations in Claremont. Others charged include; Kathryn Burnash, 24, William Rawling, 24, Gary Desilets, 32, Douglas Desilets, 30, and Robert Simoneau, 39, all of Claremont. All of the suspects were ordered held on cash bail during their arraignments, with Rawling and Baldwin getting the highest amount at $25,000. www.granitequill.com | July 12, 2013 | The Messenger | Page 9 H-D School Board hires baseball field engineers Buildings and Grounds Supervisor John Butler introduced Bradlee Mezquita, Vice President of Tighe & Bond Environmental Engineers of Portsmouth to the HillsboroDeering School Board at Monday's meeting. Mezquita was there to discuss the drainage problem at the baseball field. He suggested geo-technical testing to evaluate the type and permeability of the existing soils and an "As Built" topographical survey as a first step. He could then prepare corrective plans and make recommendations. With $20,000 already appropriated for such a study, Chair Rich Pelletier asked if that was sufficient and was assured it was. He told the Board that the work could be completed in about two weeks with plans taking a little longer. The Board unanimously approved the study. In other business, the Board approved Newbury Library consultant The trustees of the Newbury Public Library have hired Stephen H. Spohn Jr., an indepen-dent consultant to begin evaluating current and future needs, including services and programs, equipment, personnel and facilities.

Purchase orders are recommended for all purchases of goods or services regardless of amount. Department Heads are responsible for purchases under $1,000. Purchase of goods or services $1,000 or greater require a purchase order approved by the Department Head and Town Manager. The purchase of goods or services individually costing $5,000 or more should be made through a competitive bidding process instead of price quotes. The process used for soliciting bids is to be determined on a case by case basis as not all purchases are alike. However, all competitive bid documents should specify that the Town can reject any and all bids, for any reason. Also, that the Town is not required to award contracts solely on the basis of low bid. Competitive bidding for goods or services costing less than $10,000 may be waived by the Town Manager, and those costing $10,000 or more may be waived by the Board of Selectmen. The Town Manager may award contracts to the low bidder on any bid, but awards to other than the low bidder will be made by the Board of Selectmen. Belletetes Inc. buys R.P.

Sturm Ruger expanding in North Carolina NH officials were not surprised that Sturm, Ruger & Co. has decided to open a third manufacturing plant at a 220,000-square-foot facility in North Carolina. Company officials said they did not have the space to expand in New Hampshire and were already having difficulty filling existing openings. Christopher Way, interim director of the NH Division of Economic Development, said he and others on his staff worked closely with Ruger and could have found an appropriate location in the Granite State. Ruger currently employs about 1,200 at its foundry in Newport and another 900 in Prescott, Ariz. With firearm sales going through the roof over fears of gun control, the company in May announced plans to expand and create 500 to 700 new jobs at a third factory. Company President Michael O. Fifer said that the company had a long list of factors, including a preference for a right-to-work state, where workers cannot be required to pay union dues if they choose not to join one. “Right-to-work state was one of our criteria,” Reed said, but " That doesn’t mean the company has soured on New Hampshire, which meets another key criteria because it is considered Second Amendment-friendly. Board asked about Sunapee Police cameras Peter Urbach asked the Sunapee Selectmen about the camera issues that New London Police Department is having and wanted to know how well equipped is Sunapee relative to police department cameras and in-car cameras. Chair Fred Gallup stated that there are cameras in most of the police cruisers and there are cameras around the outside of the police station. Town Manager Donna Nashawaty said that the Safety Service building has cameras inside in public areas such as the booking area and the Sally Port. Chief Cahill has policies that have been instituted and are part of the training program. She also stated that she would be happy to invite Chief Cahill in for the Board to discuss this issue further.

Also from the 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 NH Homes & Home Improvement A Guide for NH Home Owners & Home Seekers Publisher’s Perspective by Leigh Bosse Concord Monitor insults New London In reprinting an editorial from the Valley News, the Concord Monitor, in commenting on New London's spending of $35,000 to upgrade video and audio recording devices at the police station and in patrol cruisers in light of the recent incident with former Police Chief David Seastrand, has wrongly insulted the town, the Police Department and its officers. According to the Valley New and Monitor, "Town officials, however, have managed to transform that valid concern into a public relations disaster by framing their decision to upgrade the recording equipment as a response to the need to protect police officers from false allegations of misconduct." Citing Acting Chief Ed Anderson's whole hearted approval of the new systems, the papers say, "He said there are many times when officers arrest a young female at 2 a.m. and there is often times undocumented time spent. He thought cruiser cameras would be helpful in protecting officers from false allegations.” "In the context," the editorial continues, " there is no way to interpret this but as an attack, first, on the credibility of the young woman who reported Seastrand’s alleged misconduct to the Attorney General’s office and, second, against women in general who make such allegations." How wrong can they be? In overwhelmingly endorsing increased monitoring of their activities, Anderson and his officers have merely pointed out that the same system which could detect their inappropriate actions, could also protect them from unsubstantiated allegations. Embarrassed and ashamed of Seastrand's action as they are, the Town, its Selectmen, Police Department and its officers are determined to move forward in a positive manner. They should be congratulated not chastised. The H-D School Board should vote No! The Public Employee Labor Relations Board recently ruled that the HillsboroDeering School Board committed unfair labor practices in negotiating a new teachers contract last year. The PERB also found the school board violated a state statute that says employers must bargain in good faith. That statute is clear and I support it. What should also be clear is that School Boards should act in good faith with the taxpayers who elect them and support the schools. Time after time, HillsboroDeering School District voters have told the Board that they despise the evergreen clause that rewards public employees regardless of performance and whether they earned it or not. The school board has been ordered to vote on the contract, fine, just be sure to follow the taxpayers mandate and vote NO. The district's teachers must know that this clause is a slap in the face who are struggling to support their families and the school system. Negotiate any contract you can get the Board to agree to but realize the odds are it won't be approved if it retains the evergreen clause. Does Aaron Gill have a backbone? In a letter in last week's Messenger,Deering Selectman Michelle Johnson stated that we "should know how much power she had over the other board members." It's time for fellow Selectman Aaron Gill to prove that statement wrong. Common sense and fairness dictate that the Board appoint Sharon Farmer Fife, who lost to Gill by only 3 votes in March, to fill the seat of Krista Couturier who resigned weeks ago. Reports indicate that Johnson is holding out for another person of her choosing. Gill should nominate Fife and refuse to vote for anyone else. PS: The answer is apparently not. The above was written prior to Wednesday's Selectman's meeting where Gill and Johnson appointed Beth Kelly to fill the seat. See sorries on page 5 and 21. www.granitequill.com | July 12, 2013 | The Messenger | Page 13 Greetings: In response to Representative Annie Kuster’s Guest editorial in the June 28th Messenger: Keeping College within Reach: Representative Kuster reminds us all young persons, not just the few should have a college education and the tax payer should pay. This is typical talk from the left. If there is an educational problem dump our hard earned tax dollars to fix it. Colleges, to gain federal funds, are mandated to open their doors to illegal immigrants, ciphers and the rest of the mob. Most of the students are totally ill equipped for the rigorous demands of higher education. Many should never have been admitted college or for that matter graduated from high school. Academically, students that are not adequate for college take up space and available funds from the deserving students. Today colleges have lowered their standards to compete for funds with other colleges. Most of these colleges are nothing more than overpaid high schools. College graduates cannot find work due in part to the lack of meaningful employment, the college’s reputation, and the inadequate skills and ability of the person graduating. All students willing to work hard and have the mental ability should be given the opportunity to attend college. Those students of ability should be able to attend college and vocational schools free. The stipulation is: those students upon graduation would be paid and would have to work in specialty services compatible to their education for five years. The criteria and employment opportunity would be established by the states they reside in. Colleges that survived would be financially supported by public endowments, donations, gifts and by alumni. Federal funds would not be allowed. Then as the Declaration of Independence claims: “We are all equal?” Alan B. Urquhart, Hillsborough ***************************************** To The Editor: Recently a local editor wrote a piece entitled the "Downside of Democracy." His description appears flawless so no attempt will be made to embellish his creation so I offer the following: "We Americans too often take for granted the unique freedoms afforded by our democratic form of government. The freedom to speech guaranteed by our constitution allows us to express our opinions without fear of reprisal by the government. Unfortunately the price of that freedom is that we must put up with those who refuse to accept differing opinion, who shout down opposing views and smugly believe that theirs is the only truth" This brings me to my point. I, like others, have watched with both interest and annoyance as Mayor Bloomberg, and his $1,000,000 personally funded attack on Kelley Ayotte continues to fabricate endless dialogue to discredit her position on Background Checks and Gun Registration. Surely no one wants to see guns in the hands of the impaired or incompetent, however, neither background checks or gun registration would have prevented the New Town tragedy. Any new regulations need to be sensible, effective and enforceable. Currently there are over 20,000 Local, State and Federal firearm regulations none of which protected the New Town population. Bloomberg's claim that 87% of New Hampshire residence disapprove of how Ayotte represents her constituency is simply untrue. Police chiefs and mayors of states other than our own are portrayed as N. H. citizens opposed to her voting record, and we are asked to accept this as valid local opinion. It's implied that those of us who support our second amendment rights must be social misfits or suffer some degree of paranoia. And this is presented to the public as he (Bloomberg) stands behind his microphone surrounded by no fewer than four "fully armed" security guards. Only he is worthy of the protection our 2nd Amendment provides, the rest of us should be denied these protective measures. On Tuesday, June 18th, the Bloomberg "Boso Bus" violated our NH borders to convince this "Hill-Billy" population (of which I am a proud member) that we have no need for firearms. Thankfully they were greeted by an overwhelming presence of GO and Pro-Gun New Hampshire members. Unfortunately there was an incident that was not helpful to our cause, but quickly contained. As was mentioned in a recent letter to the editor by J. P. Marzullo many of the names listed on Bloomberg's victims profile were killers and criminals and were, in fact, on a most wanted listing. There is little question that Bloomberg and his cadre of supporters want Ayotte out of the way as she presents a clear and present danger to his liberal base.

Let's return to the purpose of this memo: "The Downside of Democracy." I guess I need to listen carefully to those opinions that disagree with my own. And believe me there are many. I feel it is the right and obligation of each one of us to question our State Representative and each other as we attempt to understand and validate our political opinions. As a supporter of Senator Ayotte, on many issues, I happen to disagree with her on Immigration Reform, but I have that right as I am a resident and registered voter in this state and my opinion will be known. I don't believe that those from states other than New Hampshire should attempt to influence or otherwise prostitute our political process with their fortunes and opinions. We have a great and beautiful state and invite them all to enjoy; but leave your politics at the border or stay the Hell out of New Hampshire Bob Thomas, Hillsborough ************************************************************** Conflict of interest? At the March Town Meeting in Deering our former Selectman questioned why we only had one bid for the Master Plan? If I recall the amount of the bid from the Central New Hampshire Planning Commission was $12,500. The Town Planning Board did not get any other bids saying that we were already a member of the Central Planning Commission and paid them an annual fee. The question was and I am paraphrasing if the Policy is that all expenditures over $500.00 had to have three bids why were we not following it? Keith Johnson the husband of the Chair of the Select board, a member of the Planning Board stated that the CNHPC price was a fair price and that since he was the Vice Chair of their Executive board he knew the information they have would be accurate and complete. Keith Johnson admitted at the Town Meeting that he was the Executive Vice Chair of the Central New Hampshire Planning Commission and that it was a fair price that no one else could match? Seems like a conflict to me and of course his wife Michelle Johnson supports that. I am just wondering if they have even tried to get any other quotes and if the Board of Selectmen (BOS) has spent that money? The Master Plan is important in a town but it can be as simple as a one-page report, Deering’s is the size of a plan for a City or a County, is that really necessary. The last one was done 10 years ago and our Planning Board has done a great job keeping high-rise apartment buildings and manufacturing facilities out of our town. Go to the State Website and research Master Plans and you will see how the towns and cities vary. So BOS did you get any more quotes or even make an effort to or are you just going to make the decision on your own to spend our money? It appears that you are in violation of your own policies. What next?

The box highlighted the fact that the million dollar mark in the fundraising campaign had been surpassed. Two weeks later the large box was opened and $848.05 collected, mostly in pennies from the library's young readers. That was great news but it took second place. At a joint meeting of the Friends of Abbott Library, the Library Foundation and the Library Trustees, Karen Attwood, treasurer of The Friends of Abbott Library, presented the Abbott Library Foundation with a check for $120,000 representing funds donated over the last 12 years for the funding of the interior needs of a new library. This gift will be used to create a warm and welcoming space for the whole community to enjoy. Will use of Antrim's gym become a controversy? It hasn't yet risen to the level of a controversy, but it has the potential to do so. The ConVal School Board was presented with a draft agreement outlining use of the Antrim Memorial Gymnasium. Initial reaction of the Budget and Property Committee was that it was too restrictive. The gym is owned by the town but is leased to the ConVal School District. The proposal calls for the district to submit a schedule of events to the Antrim Recreation Department for review and approval. It provides that Antrim Rec events have priority and that the gym will only be available to the district during normal school hours. Members felt that the school needs to control the use of the building, and the agreement could eliminate afterschool use of the gym. Antrim Recreation Director Celeste Lunetta told the Monadnock Ledger Transcript that "there aren't a lot of problems related to the day-to-day use of the gym, but the proposal attempts to clarify the status of the building. " Our perspective is that it's our facility," Lunetta said. "It's not your property, it's the town gym." The Committee will ask the full School Board to investigate the possibility of giving up use of the Gym and holding all physical education programs for both Antrim Elementary and Great Brook students in the gym at Great Brook, and refer the proposal to the school district's attorney.

Dispute arises over Bradford indoor riding arena Rob Messer met with the Bradford Selectmen after being approved by the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment regarding building an indoor riding arena at his already outdoor arena. Messier said he is aware that the Fire Department is unhappy with the Boards' decisions and understand that letters have been drafted against West Meadow Stables getting insurance for the new structure. Apparently site water storage was a concern of the Fire Department. There is a hydrant there, however, it has not worked since the new bridge was installed. He stated he would fix the hydrant so that it would operate as soon as the water level went down which would benefit all the residents in that area. Fire Chief Mark Goldberg said it has nothing to do with the Messer’s but has two issues: State regulations, and his charge as Fire Chief is responsible to the Town and Planning Board. Messer said that if he runs into an insurance problem due to this issue it would set him back and if he does not have this building up and functioning by September 1, 2013, he is all done, and he reiterated he means all done. Pfeifle stated that what he gets as a Select person from people who are outside people and want to become inside people of Bradford, we are not a very cooperative town. "The Planning Board has had issues with not doing things as efficiently as they could. The Fire Department is somewhat famous for saying do it my way or the highway." He went on to state that his point is that we come across as not wanting to help anybody, we want to make sure we build as many bridges and as many road blocks and as many dams. By the way, this will bring in over $350,000.00 assessment, let's make sure he fails. Harry Wright interjected that we have an approved plan, construction in process, we’ve got a question that may be easily answered without this hassle by sitting down and talking about it. After further discussion, Goldberg agreed to meet at the hydrant and bridge after the meeting. Results will be reported in next week's Messenger. Monadnock Paper Mills operational by Monday The Monadnock Paper Mills in Bennington hopes to be fully operational again by Monday. Wednesday's threealarm electrical fire was characterized by Bennington Fire Chief Mike Roina as the most significant fire in Bennington in his 13 years with the department. Although the fire was contained to the basement electrical room, it knocked out power to the entire building. Although the fire is no longer under investigation, the initial cause of the fire was considered undetermined, and the cost of repairs is still unknown. Join us at the American Legion Post 59...

To start the meeting Aaron Gill nominated Beth Kelley to fill the vacant seat on the Board. He said two qualified people were considered, Sharon Farmer Fife, who he had defeated by just 3 votes in March and former Selectman Beth Kelley, who Gill favored because of her experience. Kelley was appointed. It was Kelley's experience that the Superior Court castigated as the leader in the worst case of nepotism Judge Ken Brown had ever seen, costing the town thousands in the Ray Daniels case. The Board then entertained questions about the midnight firing of Town Administrator Craig Ohlson. Many in the crowd expressed anger and frustration at the firing, claiming residents had not been informed of any problems and that it was a personality clash with Johnson. Newly installed Selectman Beth Kelly said she was sorry citizens were so negative and disappointed and urged them to "smile" and move on. Planning Board C.S.

President Obama has pledged to end America's military involvement in Afghanistan by the end of 2014, if not sooner. We have known for years that the Taliban plans retribution against local translators and others who have allied with and aided U.S. forces. Realizing this, in 2009, Congress passed bill providing those Afghans who worked for U.S. forces, a guarantee of safety, with a special visa allowing them to relocate here. Implementation of the program has dragged and the program itself is set to expire soon. Burried in the complex language of the immigration bill passed by the Senate last month, is language supported by Senators Shaheen and McCain that would would extend the special visa program for Afghans through 2018, increase the annual allotment of visas to 5,000, and make eligible translators hired by NATO rather than directly by the United States. Shaheen and McCain simply want the United States to Sunapee resident wants dirt road back Carola Gouse who lives on Trow Hill Road read a letter in regards to the traffic levels and speed levels on that road. She would like the road returned to dirt to help encourage slower traffic.

As far as road improvements, none are scheduled now. Scott Hazelton, the Highway Director, is looking into ways to improve the road but those improvements will take time. Turning the road back to a dirt road would be difficult due to all the traffic and the number of residents that now live on the road. Chuck’s Auto Repair keep its word, and so should we. As a Vietnam veteran, I look back with shame on the final evacuation of our Embassy in Saigon. American personnel scrambling to the roof to board helicopters, while our Vietnamese allies, condemned to death by the Viet Cong, were abandoned behind locked gates. This shame must not be repeated. Regardless of the fate of the immigration bill, this measure must be separated from it and passed. American honor demands no less.
