Paul Howe photo. 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.

Page 4 | The Messenger | January 17, 2014 | www.granitequill.com 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. • • • Brought to you as a public service by HENNIKER PHARMACY • 603-428-3456 P.O.Box 718 • Proctor Square • Henniker, NH 03242 Act now!

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. 7th edition of Rotary's Outdoor Guide The Henniker Rotary Club is putting the finishing touches on the 7th edition of its popular Outdoor Guide to Henniker and Hillsboro.

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. $$$ easy come -$$$ easy go in Warner Sales • Service • Installation • NH Master Plumbers Lic. #1498 New London: 256-2098 • Concord: 224-7186 Henniker, 78 Depot Hill Road 428-7990 • [email protected] 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. www.granitequill.com | January 17, 2014 | The Messenger | Page 5 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. The Hillsboro-Deering School Board and Superintendent Robert Hassett. 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. 38TH ANNIVERSARY SALE! Special Savings Throughout the Store. Extra Discounts on Selected Floor Samples.

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 Icy conditions Saturday led to several car accidents across the Granite State, including one on Deering Center Road in Weare. Police reports indicate the driver lost control and slammed into a telephone pole. Deering Center Road was immediately shut down. A few hundred PSNH customers were without power, and the road was closed for about seven hours while crews made repairs. Police say the driver of the car is OK.

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. Congratulations Dr. Thomas Bara & Associates On your purchase of Hillsborough’s historic “Dutton Twins.” We all look forward to your upcoming renovations.

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 Geographic Geography Bee held at the School.

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 www.granitequill.com | January 17, 2014 | The Messenger | Page 11 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.

Now, it is your turn to ensure that you are informed and responsible voters - please attend the hearing on Tuesday and know that your vote at the deliberative session will make a difference! Rich Pelletier, Chair, H-D School Board Steve Hahn, Vice-Chair, H-D School Board ************************************* 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.

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.
