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.

The New London Selectmen presented Dr. Donald Bent (l) with a proclamation honoring his 32+ years of service
as the town's Health officer.
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.

New London Board rejects complaint about dirt road maintenance
The New London Selectmen met
Monday with Thomas Parks, representing
himself and the other five families who
reside on Fox Run Lane to follow up on his
e-mail complaints about poor maintenance
on the road. 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-

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.

Tuesday July 9th. This round of treatment used herbicide to control
non-native milfoil in several areas of the pond, mostly along the
northern and eastern shores. As a result of this treatment no swimming was allowed.
Treated water should not be used for most functions – including drinking – until further notice. For the safety of users, the Town
Beach on Scoby Pond remained closed as of press time. Check the

New Boston hosts double celebration
New Boston celebrated both the 4th of July and the town's
250th anniversary. 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.

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

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.

The NH Site Evaluation Committee has denied Antrim Wind
Energy's motion for rehearing of its 10-turbine wind farm on Tuttle
Hill and Willard Mountain because of the negative aesthetics of the
project. 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.

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.

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

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. The review appeared in

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.

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.

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.

Newport officials review the town's purchasing policies
Town Manager Paul Brown met with
the Newport Selectmen to review the town's
purchasing policy, to establish guidelines for
the purchasing of goods for the town.
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.

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.

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.

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. Anything he is

able to do to discredit her; actuate or inaccurate, right of wrong,
true or false will be used to further his cause, as he calls on his
inexhaustible finances to continue his deception.
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?

Sunapee's Abbott Library Foundation
recently added to the $1,000,000 raised
for the new Abbott Library Building when
it emptied its "Penny Jar" which was set up
to collect donations for the Building Fund.
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.

Deering citizens challenge Selectmen over Craig Ohlson's firing
A group of about 30 residents turned
out to question the Deering Selectmen
over the happenings in recent days. 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

"You tell us to check the minutes but you

Publisher’s Perspective by Leigh Bosse
True Americans Keep their word
Regular Messenger readers know that
I seldom agree with the policies of Senator
Jeanne Shaheen, but she is to be commended for the recent proposal she offered,
in conjunction with Senator John McCain to
save American prestige and honor.
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

issue. 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.

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.
