Mt. Sunapee expansion
Developer's lawsuit vs. state to be tried in April
The case of Sunapee Difference LLC v. the
State of NH, filed seven years ago, has been
scheduled for trial in the Merrimack County
Superior Court in April.
The lawsuit concerns Mount Sunapee's
ability to further develop the ski resort, by
expanding into property it purchased in
Goshen, on the west side. In March, Goshen
residents will vote on a proposed zoning
amendment establishing a Recreation
District to accommodate the needs of yearround recreational and other uses within the
leasehold area of Mount Sunapee. In 1998,
the state agreed to lease Sunapee for 20 years
with a 20-year option to Timothy and Diane
Mueller or their successors and required
them to file capital improvement requests on
a regular basis.
Sunapee maintains former state Department of Resources and Economic Development Commissioner Robb Thomson made
representations the lease would cover the
entire state park.
But when then Gov. Jeanne Shaheen and
the Executive Council approved the lease in
1998, there were buffer zones located to the
north and west, preventing any expansion.
Then Gov. John Lynch refused to present
an amended lease for Mount Sunapee State
Park - expanding the ski area to include the
entire park - to the Executive Council for
approval.
The buffer areas prevent Sunapee from
connecting to property it purchased in
Goshen for an expansion. In April, the NH
Supreme Court said superior court Judge
Nicole Nicolosi should not have dismissed
the case because there were factual disputes
to be settled at trial, including Sunapee's
claim that the state committed fraud when
Thomson allegedly made representations the
lease would cover the entire park.

Weare considering revamped ambulance fee policy
Weare Fire Chief Bob Vezina met
with the selectmen to discuss fees for
ambulance service. Vezina stated that the
current policy allows residents to opt out
of paying for ambulance service.
This new policy is changing so that
regardless of residency, everyone will be
billed and expected to pay for ambulance
service. Chief Vezina stated that they
also have developed a hardship policy
that would be implemented for anyone
that cannot pay the ambulance bill. He

This eliminates that and it will make
the billing more effective. The rates arrived at are the baseline that Medicare will

Selectman Lacasse suggested that the

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE
Many glioblastoma patients treated with bevacizumab (Avastin®) have significant deterioration in
neurocognitive function, symptoms and quality
of life. Not only that, the changes often predict
treatment outcomes, according to new research
from The University of Texas MD Anderson CanBY SARAH CHAPIN
cer Center. The findings from the large national
multi-center Phase III trial, RTOG 0825, were presented at the annual
meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Glioblastoma is
the most frequent and aggressive type of brain tumor. Despite slight
gains, tumors pose a high risk of recurrence and are commonly fatal.

The risk of acute kidney disease is doubled for people taking oral fluoroquinolone antibiotics, according to a study published in CMAJ (Canadian
Medical Association Journal). Fluoroquinolones, including ciprofloxacin,
levofloxacin and moxifloxacin are common broad-spectrum antibiotics
most often used to treat respiratory and urogenital infections. The risk
was highest with ciprofloxacin, followed by moxifloxacin. Past use did
not increase the risk nor did the use of amoxicillin or azithromycin. The
researchers also found that concurrent use of an oral fluoroquinolone
and a renin-angiotensin-system blocker, a popular class of cardiovascular
medication, increases the risk of acute renal failure by 4.5 fold. Case reports have indicated acute kidney injury with use, and prescription labels
carry a warning of kidney failure. However, when oral fluoroquinolones
are prescribed in clinical practice, kidney injury is usually not considered.

The cancer drug Avastin may extend the lives a bit of women with
advanced cervical cancer, a new study presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology says. Overall, patients
given Avastin (bevacizumab) lived four months longer on average than
those being treated with standard chemotherapy alone.

Kearsarge school budget up $1.2 million
The Kearsarge Regional School Board has approved a proposed operating budget of $38,967,815 which reflects an increase
of $1,196,312 or 3.07%. Voters had their say at the Deliberative
Session of the Annual School District meeting Saturday at the
high school and approved it with little debate. The budget was
supported by a 6- o vote of the School Board and by a vote of 8-1
by the Municipal Budget Committee. Salaries, wages and benefits
compose $803,655 of the increase.
Woman hit crossing Peterborough street
Marsha Cormier, 64, of Peterborough was taken to the Monadnock Community Hospital on Saturday, after being hit while
crossing a downtown intersection, by a car driven by Louis Waryncia, 54, of Claremont. Reports indicate Waryncia was driving on
Main Street attempting a turn onto Depot Street, when his car
hit a patch of ice and slid into Cormier, who was in the crosswalk.
Cormier was treated for minor injuries and released. Waryncia
was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

Sunapee voters consider tax benefit article
Recently, Michael Durfor, chairman of the Harbor House Livery
Committee and Stu Amet, Better Future Alliance met with the
Sunapee Selectmen to request the town adopt RSA 79-E, the Community Revitalization Tax Relief Incentive. The provision provides
temporary tax relief of up to five years, during which time property
taxes would not increase as a result of its rehabilitation of the
property. The board agreed to add RSA 79-E to the warrant.

At their last meeting Warner Town Administrator Jim Bingham and the selectmen reduced the budget by just over $11K.
Since that reduction an employee changed their health care plan
from a single to a family plan which absorbed the $11K savings.

Trustees and H-D voters must approve use of existing funds
The Department of Revenue Administration has advised the Hillsboro-Deering
School Board that if it wants to use the
existing School Building Maintenance
Fund, containing $252,000, to fund
the new boiler at the middle school
($180,000) and replacement windows at
the elementary school ($30,000), it must
secure the permission of the Trustees of
the Trust Funds, which the Board is doing. Additionally, a warrant article is being proposed changing the name of that
fund to the "Capital Improvement and
Maintenance Fund." The change requires
2/3 voter approval.
The purpose of both requests is to save
taxpayers money by utilizing the existing
funds to make the necessary repairs to
the boiler and windows. Absent approval
by the Trustee and voters, an additional
$210,000 in tax money would need to be
raised to effectuate the needed repairs.
Developer helps draft petition
Antrim Wind Energy helped the petitioners draft the proposed wind energy
ordinance, to be voted on by Antrim voters in March. The proposal does not specifically permit a wind farm in the Tuttle
Hill/Willard Pond area of town, but it
appears to create the conditions favorable
for a project similar to the one that was
recently rejected by the NH Site Evaluation Committee. Project Manager John
Soininen told the Monadnock Ledger
Transcript that "numerous people within
the company were involved in creating
the document." At press time a public
hearing is being held on the article.
The Board has also posted a separate
article requesting $100,000 to replenish
that fund to guard against future major
repairs to the District's aging facilities.

Another Weare DPW worker leaving for Henniker
Tim Redmond, Public Works Director informed the Weare Selectmen that
another long time DPW employee, Matt
McLain, will be leaving to go to Henniker for more pay and better benefits.
He felt that the Board needs to take a
serious look at the wages because in the
past three years he has lost ten employees, one to Dunbarton and two to Henniker for better wages and benefits.
He has placed another ad in the
paper and will begin the hiring process.
During the last hiring process he had
two very qualified experienced drivers
but when they were told of the starting
wage they withdrew from the process
and he has letters from both individuals if the Board would like to see them.
Chairman Clow stated that the problem
is that they are a union and unfortunately when they do that everything
has to be done thru the bargaining
process. Redmond stated that he would
be willing to do a wage survey from
surrounding towns if the Board would
be interested in looking at it. The Board
stated that they would be interested in
that survey.

Local man gets 6 years for child porn
New Boston resident Dana Moody, 57, was sentenced to six
years in federal prison after pleading guilty to the possession
and distribution of child pornography, federal prosecutors announced. He was arrested after an FBI search of his computer
found several thousand depictions of child sexual assault. The
investigation started in late 2011 when an undercover police officer in New Haven, Conn., intercepted child pornography coming
from a computer in New Boston, the statement said. Moody was
prosecuted under Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide effort to
combat child exploitation and abuse.
Weare crash into pole shuts down power

down. A few hundred PSNH customers were without power,
and the road was closed for about seven hours while crews made

New commercial projects presented to Hillsborough Planning Board
The Hillsborough Planning Board
heard two new proposals for commercial
development at Wednesday's meeting.
Mitch Phillips, representing Family Dollar,
met with the board for an Informal Review
of the company's plans to purchase the lot
adjacent to the shopping center where it is
currently located and construct an 8,000
sq. ft. retail store.
He had met earlier with the ZBA and
secured a variance to allow the building to
be set back 101 feet back from Henniker
Street.
He promised to return soon with final
plans in hopes of a spring opening.
Ed Forster and Dr. Thomas Bara unveiled their plans for a dental facility at the
"Dutton Twins" on West Main Street. The
barn between the twins would be raised
and replaced with a new building of similar
architecture, which would house two dentists plus part-time specialists, along with
18 employees.
The board appeared receptive, although
member E. Ann Poole questioned the
runoff from the 54 space parking lot and
Conservation Commission Chair Brett
Charrington noted that 5 of those spaces
intruded into the 75 foot setback area by
the river. A Site Walk was scheduled for
4 p.m. on February 5th with a hearing to
follow at 7 p.m.
Ed Forster presents the Bara Dental plan to the Hillsborough Planning Board.

Newport logger convicted of felonies in Sullivan & Merrimack Counties
A Newport logger has been convicted of
business related felonies in two counties.
In Sullivan County, Andrew Pysz pleaded
guilty to two felony counts of deceptive
forestry business practices for failing to pay
for wood harvested from a timber sale in
2012 and failing to verify timber volume
removed upon the landowner's written request. He was sentenced to one-four-year
in the New Hampshire State Prison, and
was ordered to pay $68,000 in restitution to the landowner. A second deceptive
forestry business practices sentence was
suspended on condition of good behavior
and compliance with all terms of the order.
In Merrimack County, Pysz pleaded
guilty to two count of felony level forgery
of contracts related to the harvest of forest
products and was given a one-three year
sentence, suspended, and ordered to pay
restitution of $3,500.
Chairlift fall was from misload
The NH Fire Marshal’s Office has
concluded its investigation into the Dec. 11
accident at Crotched Mountain Ski & Ride
Area in which a Hollis mother and her sixyear-old daughter were injured falling from
a chairlift.
W. Briggs Lockwood, chief tramway
safety inspector found that the accident is
consistent with a “misload,” in that the girl
fell from the chair because she was never
properly seated. No citation will be issued
he said because “loading a chairlift is a
shared responsibility.”
Henniker Community School eighth grader Sarah Medvetz was the winner of the National

Publisher’s Perspective by Leigh Bosse
Emerald Lake is polluted
Recent revelations have shown that
Emerald Lake is seriously polluted,
not with e-coli or milfoil, but from the
stench of long standing secrecy, favoritism and insider dealing.
After the District's first Planning
Board was elected last year, members
became increasingly frustrated with
the way the District was being governed, particularly by former Chair
Bob Hutchinson and his wife Sue, the
District's Treasurer.
Members found that District ByLaws were being ignored in that Bob
Hutchinson was being paid to perform
work for the District without a bid,
contract or public hearing as required,
and Sue Richardson failed to provide
detailed monthly financial reports as
required.
The Commissioners have also been
charged with failing to properly install
the emergency generators which were
authorized and purchased; routinely
failing to post notices of meetings and
failing to take, present or review minutes of their meetings.
So far the complaints revolve around
the Hutchinsons and Administrator
James Coffey, who, reminiscent of his
tenure in Hillsboro, acts more like a
king than an employee. At a recent
meeting he was observed telling one
commissioner to "shut-up" as he, Coffey, was talking. Coffey generally runs
the meetings as the Commissioners bow
down and follow his lead.
It is too early to tell if these shortcomings are serious enough to be
crimes, but two things appear to be
required:
1. Coffey must go. As he did in Hillsboro, Coffey has overstayed his welcome. His actions go far beyond those of
an administrator and at times resemble
a dictator. His continuing vendetta with
the Hillsboro Selectmen is a detriment
to improving relations between the
Town and the Village District.
2. The Attorney General should conduct an independent investigation into
the recent activities of District officers,
to see if any laws have been broken.
To date it appears that the only
faults with Commissioners Dahood and
Conrnock appears to be their inattention or lack of backbone, in allowing the
Hutchinsons and Coffey to rule at will.
Their actions in the coming weeks will
tell the tale.
Letters to the Editor
To the voters of the HillsboroughDeering School District
Three important dates! On Tuesday, January 21, there will be a budget
hearing, at which time all voters can
learn firsthand about the HillsboroughDeering school budget, ask questions,
and share perspective. The school board
will present a budget and warrant articles that address the educational needs
of the district's students, maintain the
significant progress that is taking place
in our schools, reinforce the effort and
commitment of our teachers, staff, and
administration, and reflect awareness of
the community's financial resources and
constraints.
Following the hearing, the board will
approve a budget and warrant articles
that will be brought to the "deliberative
session" on February 3. As citizens and
voters, you will be asked at that time,
in accordance with SB2, to approve or
amend the budget that will be on the
ballot along with a "default budget" on
March 11. In recent years the deliberative session has attracted only about 100
voters - there are over 1200 students in
our schools and 4,300 registered voters.
The School Board takes its responsibility seriously, and we are confident
that we have done our homework over
the past months and that our recommendations are in the best interest of

organization, supports the Common
Core State Standards.
The Common Core Standards
outline what students should know and
be able to do in reading and mathematics from kindergarten through 12th
grade. They align with the knowledge
and skills that New Hampshire high
school graduates need to be fully ready
for college and careers.
They are benchmarked to the
standards of top-performing countries
and states, and mark the first time that
states share a common set of educational goals and expectations for the
nation’s students. States and local
districts develop their own curriculum
and instructional activities to address
these standards. To develop these standards, state
governors and state commissioners of
education collaborated with educators
and subject matter specialists. The federal government was not involved with
their development, and state adoption
is voluntary. NHASCD is a non-profit
organization of over 850 members that
sponsors educational conferences and
workshops, and is the co-sponsor of the
NH Journal of Education.
NHASCD joins organizations such as
the NH Business and Industry Association and the NH Coalition for Business
& Education in supporting the Common Core. We appreciate and value the
Common Core’s rigor and its emphasis
on critical thinking, deeper understanding, and more personalized teaching
and learning. As New Hampshire
schools thoughtfully plan to implement
these standards, we believe that all students will become far more successful in
college and in their future careers.
The NHASCD Board urges New
Hampshire’s families, educators, community members, and local school
boards to learn more about the expectations of the Common Core standards
and then work to actively support their
implementation.

Dear Editor,
This note to you and the citizens of
Hillsboro is to inform all that I will not
be running for the 2014 through 2015
term of moderator for the town of Hillsboro. For the next several years I must
prioritize my daily business, my weekend
travel dates, and retirement goals. As I
am building a new house in town, I am
also committing long term to a town that
my wife and I truly love and will continue to help when I can. I will moderate
our annual candidate’s night and will
work to set up and manage sound for the
town meetings. Please know that this has
been an interesting and somehow enjoyable experience and to say the least, a
great lesson in civics. While I need a few
years to deal with logistics and business,
I would be all for coming back at some
time to do this again.
As a reminder to all Hillsboro
citizens, please remember that our town
government is managed by citizens willing to give up some of their time to keep
their towns working as efficiently as
possible. “Taking turns” is what citizen
government is all about and now it’s
someone else’s turn to take this position
for a term or two. I do want to thank
those caring people who did vote for me
and to those citizens that care enough to
attend and participate in the town meeting process. Very importantly, I want to
thank our Town Clerk Deb MacDonald
and all the volunteers who staff the election central and ready everything for the
evening’s town meeting. Thanking these
people on this important day in March
would be a great gesture from any voter.

Bennington woman, Deering man injured in accidents
April Salisbury, 37, of Bennington, was
taken to Monadnock Community Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening
injuries after being injured in a crash on
Route 202 Wednesday afternoon.
Reports indicate Salisbury was driving a 2008 Nissan north on Route 202
when she attempted to make a U-turn to
change direction and turned in front of a
northbound 2007 Subaru driven by Olivia
Wilder, 20, of Hancock, who attempted
to avoid the accident, but could not stop
in time.
The Subaru struck the Nissan's driver's side rear passenger door. Speed or
alcohol do not appear to be factors in the
accident, but police say Salisbury failed
to yield the right of way while making a
U-turn, turning into the path of Wilder's

to Grant’s vehicle, the Jaws of Life was
used to extricate him.
He was transported by the Newport

the tractor-trailer, David A. Burnor Jr.,

Stark student makes All-State & All-NE
1 School Board Member - 3 year term
1 School District Moderator - 1 year term
1 School District Clerk - 1 year term
1 School District Treasurer - 1 year term
John Stark Regional High School Junior Jacob Goldsberry, son
of Curt and Ellen Goldsberry of Weare, was recently awarded the
honor of making both the All-New England and All-State Music
Festival bands in the same year. “Jake, who plays the clarinet, is
a very dedicated musician,” said John Stark Music Teacher Dan
Williams. “I remember when he was in 4th grade; it was my first
year teaching at John Stark. Jake used to come to the high school
to take lessons with one of my senior clarinetists. He has come a
long way in eight years,” continued Williams. Goldsberry performs
with both of John Stark’s instrumental performing ensembles—the
Concert Band and Stage Band. He also takes private lessons outside of school. Goldsberry performed with John Stark during their
trip to Hershey Park last year, and has represented John Stark at
the Belknap Mt. Invitational Music Festival for several years. “Jake
is vice president of the Tri-M Music Honor Society, and he is a big
part of our all our fundraisers and events. In short, if there is something musical going on at John Stark, chances are Jake is a big part
of it,” concluded Williams. The All-New England Festival will be
March 20-22, 2014 at Mt. Anthony Union High School in Bennington, VT, and the All-State Music Festival will be April 10-12, at the
Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord, NH.
