Cub Scouts from Pack 24 led the Pledge of Allegience during a pause in the parade at Weare's Patriotic
Celebration on Saturday.
Did pursuit cause crash?
Refusal to release names raises serious concerns
In the early morning of July 3rd, New Boston police Officer Stephen Case tried to stop a
pickup carrying three teenagers. The truck sped
away on 114 crossing the Weare town line, at
speeds greater than 85 mph. Case continued the
pursuit about 2 miles into Weare raising questions as to whether the department’s high-speed
chase policy was followed.
The New Boston pursuit policy, obtained
by the Concord Monitor, says that “high risk
pursuit” is only justified when the officer knows
or has reasonable grounds to believe that “the
violator has committed or has attempted to
commit a serious felony involving crimes against
persons” or “the officer has a reasonable basis
to believe that death or serious bodily injury will
result if the violator is not apprehended.” The resulting crash threw all three young men from the
vehicle, killing Trevor Gonyer, 17, of Dunbarton.
Nearly three weeks after the crash, state
police still have not released the identity of the
three people in the car, including Gonyer. State
Police normally do not withhold the identity of
individuals involved in a crash for more than
a few days. In fact, there were four other fatal
vehicle crashes since the Weare crash; where the
drivers of the vehicles and victims were identified, raising questions as to why not in this case.
Developer to lead tour of downtown Franklin
Area residents are invited to take a leisurely
guided walk through the City of Franklin's
industrial past and into its potential future on
Saturday morning, July 25. From 10:30 to 12:30. Open to the public, the
walk will be led by local visionary Todd Workman, who has been working for two years on
plans to breathe new life into a once-thriving
municipality. Workman will lead his guests
through the old Riverbend Mill. Culmination
of the walk will be a visit to Toad Hall, which
has been repurposed as a community gathering space and showcase for local artists and
performers. Page 2 | The Messenger | july 24, 2015 | www.granitequill.com

Plan to refurbish Henniker's Highway Department back on course
After a period of accusation, speculation and hesitation and a contentious
meeting Tuesday night, the Henniker
selectmen voted unanimously to reaffirm their original plan for replacing the
highway trucks damaged in a January fire
that engulfed the town garage. That plan
was interrupted when a "miscommunication" resulted in the damaged trucks and
equipment, committee members valued at
$10,000 to $20,000, were sold to a demolition company for $500.
“We screwed up,” Chairman Kris Blomback, repeatedly said, hoping to move the
conversation forward. “We’re under time
constraints. I’m not looking to dodge the
bullet, the select board screwed up.” Some
in the audience, including resident Kathleen Labonte asked repeatedly who was
responsible for the sale of the equipment.
That prompted Selectman Leo Aucoin to
plead with residents to stop looking for a
“sacrificial lamb.” “Would you prefer us to
drop somebody up here on the table, put a
dagger in them, bleed them out so you feel
better? We’re offering ourselves up, we’re
saying that we screwed up. We will strive
not to allow it to happen again.”
Selectmen then decided to stick with
the committee’s original idea. Two new and
one used 10-wheelers have already been
purchased and ore on hand. Truck #4 will

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE
For patients in cardiac arrest, administering epinephrine helps to restart the heart but may increase
the overall likelihood of death or debilitating brain
damage, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The study
offers new data in an ongoing debate over the risks
and benefits of using epinephrine to treat cardiac
arrest, an often-fatal condition in which the heart
BY SARAH CHAPIN
stops beating. Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a hormone that stimulates the heart and promotes the flow
of blood. Current international guidelines recommend administering 1
milligram of epinephrine every 3-5 minutes during resuscitation.

Patients with head and neck cancer who used antacid medicines to
control acid reflux had better overall survival, according to a new study
from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. Reflux
can be a common side effect of chemotherapy or radiation treatment
for head and neck cancer. Doctors at the University of Michigan frequently prescribe two types of antacids — proton pump inhibitors or
histamine 2 blockers — to help treat this side effect. The researchers
looked at 596 patients who were treated for head and neck cancer.
More than two-thirds of the patients took one or both types of antacid
medication after their diagnosis. Patients who were taking antacids
had significantly better overall survival than those who did not take
them. Proton pump inhibitors, which include drugs such as Prilosec,
Nexium and Prevacid, had the biggest effect: a 45 percent decreased
risk of death, compared to patients who did not take antacids. Patients
taking histamine 2 blockers, such as Tagamet, Zantac or Pepcid, saw a
33 percent decreased risk of death.

Where to build Warner's new Fire Station?
A week after Hopkinton's Open House at its newly renovated
and enlarged Fire Station, the Town of Warner's 5-year quest for
a suitable location for its own fire station continues. After several
trials and errors, the town is evaluating a 3-acre parcel on West
Main Street but some believe the area is too residential for a public
safety building. The site evaluation will be completed in the next
few weeks, after which a public hearing will be scheduled.
Antrim woman driving impaired in Deering
On July 17th Deering Police Chief James Pushee and Officer
Bell who is in Field Training, stopped a vehicle on Bennington
Depot Road for a Stop Sign Violation. The vehicle was emitting
an overwhelming odor of freshly burnt marijuana and the road
side investigation provided probable cause to believe the operator
was impaired. Arrested was Kathleen M. Ruoff, 61, of Antrim, for
Driving Under the Influence of Drugs. She was released on bail
pending her arraignment later this month.
Franklin man arrested on drug charges
Federal authorities say a 21-year-old Franklin man hacked the
social media, email and shopping accounts of several girls then
used threats to get the girls to send him sexually explicit photos.
Ryan Vallee is charged with taking control of the girls’ email,
Facebook and Instagram accounts and threatening to delete them
or deface some of the contents. Authorities also say he hacked
their Amazon.com accounts then used their payment information
to buy and ship sexual items to the girls’ homes. He’s also charged
with sending sexually explicit photos of the girls and their friends
to others and with threatening the girls via a text spoofing service.
Bradford man wanted for parole violation
The US Marshals Fugitive Task Force is seeking Richard Decelle, 47, of Bradford for a parole violation. Decelle is on parole for
a conviction and sentence of 2nd Degree Assault by Strangulation.
Law enforcement officials say that Decelle has an extensive criminal history dating back to the mid 80’s. Decelle has friends, family,
and associates in the Bradford area but can be anywhere. Decelle
is 5’10” weighs 200, he has blonde hair and blue eyes. If you know
the whereabouts or have seen anyone resembling Richard Decelle contact the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force at (603) 225-1632
or your local police.

Chris Christie impressive at Franklin Town Hall Meeting
The crowd of about about 100 people
began gathering early at the Franklin
VFW Post last Thursday night to attend
a Town Hall Meeting by New Jersey
Gov. Chris Christie.
The GOP presidential candidate was
welcomed by Franklin Mayor Ken Merrifield who said Christie has impressed
him during recent visits to the city. “I
could see myself voting for him,” Merrifield said. Christie opened the meeting
by asking for a moment of silence for
the four Marines killed in Tennessee.
He criticized President Obama, saying
negotiating with Iran is “the worst thing
this President has done.”
Obama, he said, “has the audacity
to compare himself to Ronald Reagan,”
in negotiations for the arms agreement
signed Thursday. He also spoke of the
need to allow judges to “be smart about
crime” and lower prison populations by
offering drug treatment as an alternative to prison sentences for non-violent
crimes.
Perhaps the most telling question
of the evening came from 5-year-old
Elizabeth Zink who asked, “How will you
take care of people?” Christie replied,
“The most important job of any leader is
to remember that you serve the people
who put you there,” Christie told the
future voter. “That’s the way you take
care of people, is to be honest with them,
to work hard for them, and to remember
that the younger people in this country
are the future of not only our country
but also the rest of the world.”
Weare PD's Operation Call In
The Weare Police Department has
begun "Operation Call In." This program
is for the senior residents in town to be
placed on a call list. They can call the
dispatch center every day for check in. If
the member has not been heard from by
10:00 AM, an officer will respond to the
residence to check their welfare.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie spent two hours answering questions at a Franklin Town Hall
Meeting.

Deering funds Lake Lay Monitoring dues
Larry Sunderland, organizer of the Deering Lakes Association
Boat Inspection Program, recently discussed the program with
Deering Conservation Commission. Sunderland noted that Deering’s boat inspection program is run through the New Hampshire
Lakes Lay Monitoring Program, and is unusual in the state because it is sponsored and funded by the town and not by the Deering Lakes Improvement Society volunteer organization. The town
has established an expendable trust fund to support the inspection program. Town warrant articles fund the trust fund along
with annual grants from the NH Lakes program. However as a
increasing number of lakes has been introduced to the program,
and overall funding of the state program has not increased, the
size of the individual grants has decreased. Mr Sunderland stated
that Deering needs to build up its Expendable Trust Fund so as
to be able to have enough money in reserve to provide the needed
matching of state money in the event of a serious plant or animal
infestation of Deering Reservoir, clean up for which could cost as
much as $100,000. The boat inspection itself costs approximately
$3500 annually, most of which is dedicated to the summer salaries of the students who administer the program. Beyond the boat
inspections, the employment of young people to administer the
boat inspections provides funds for their educations and helps to
reinforce in the young people an environmental ethic. Mr Sunderland requested that DCC pay the annual membership fee of $300
for the NH Lakes Lay Monitoring Program. This was accepted
unanimously.

on July 28th and not to perform further work until the matter was
resolved. The Board decided to delay issuing any fine until the matter was resolved.

New London Conservation Commission warns of Japanese Barberry
You may love that attractive Japanese
Barberry in your garden, with its gorgeous
fall colors and leaves the deer won’t eat.
But there are two important reasons not
to love it.
This non-native plant is invasive, and
research has shown that the bushes carry
a high density of deer ticks (the ones that
cause Lyme Disease).
Japanese Barberry seeds, carried to
new locations by birds, have a 90% germination rate, and can remain dormant
for up to 10 years. Any stem that touches
the ground can root, and the roots also
spread underground, invading natural
areas. Although the plant repels deer due
to its sharp spines, it welcomes deer ticks.
Increased numbers of ticks, with high
levels of Lyme Disease, have been found
under the bushes. When the barberry is
eliminated, these numbers drop.
If you do have this plant, it needs to be
removed. You can dig out as many roots
as possible, or cut the plant back, and bag
the stems and roots in heavy duty garbage
bags. If the plant returns, it can be mowed
or treated with a propane torch. Small
shoots can be pulled out. Treatment with
glyophosphate (Roundup) is an option,
although not the first choice. It is best to
remove the plant before autumn when the
seeds form.

Memorial bench to honor Justin Rollins
Newport Town Manager Brown informed the selectmen that
Mr. and Mrs. Rollins had made a request to put a granite bench in
Ransom Tracey Park, in honor of their son, Justin Rollins. Brown
explained the historical steps in which the Town had accepted such
gifts in the past (through a Memorial and Monument Committee
as set forth at a Town Meeting). He stated the selectmen needed
to reestablish a Memorial and Monument Committee, and recommended that they appoint three people to it: a Board representative,
a member of the public (citizen at large) and a member from the
Heritage Commission. Further, he suggested the Committee work
with Ken Dennis, Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, who would
be responsible for its maintenance. Selectman Wilmot volunteered
to represent the Board on the committee. The Board unanimously
voted to reestablish the Memorial and Monuments Committee.

Deering Halloween Party Being Planned
A Deering Halloween Party is set for Saturday, 24 October 2015
in Deering Town Hall. Activities for this party were discussed. They
include a hay ride, a costume contest, scarecrow contest, pumpkin
carving. Mr. Gill informed the trustees of the desire of the Deering
Select Board to introduce the old ‘Hotel Lot’ (diagonally opposite to
Deering Town Hall, along Greg Rd.) and of a town bar-b-cue to be
held on the lot on Labor Day Weekend. Mr. Gill suggested that the
Hotel Lot would be a good site for scarecrows. Samuels proposed
the grounds around Town Hall as more visible and more appropriate for scarecrows. This will be decided. Scarecrows will be left up
for a week, from 24 October until Halloween and will be judged.
Pumpkin carving was discussed and it was decided that it would be
impractical for the trustees to try to provide pumpkins because they
could not estimate the number of attendees. However a suggestion
was made that individuals could provide their own pumpkin for
carving on Saturday. Carved pumpkins could then be judged and
prizes given in the form of books. A hay ride could be provided by
Peter Beard, one itinerary suggested was up Gregg Hill Rd., perhaps
with the appearance of a headless horseman or similar spook.
Samuels proposed finding scary stories to read. Refreshments can
be provided in the form of cider donuts and apple cider. The time
of the event was proposed for early evening. More details will be
discussed at the August meeting of the trustees.
Weare firefighters are Heart Saver Heros
Several members of the Weare Fire Department received the
Heart Saver Hero Award. Chief Robert Vezina, Captain Dan Gorman, FF/Paramedic Michael Corbin, FF/A-EMT Kristina Houde,
FF/A-EMT Paula McGrade, FF/EMT-I Robert Conover, FF Killian Donnally, and FF Jonathan Goldrick were recognized by the
American Heart Association Heart Saver Hero Program. The award
is given in recognition of advancing the mission of the American
Heart Association and Emergency Cardiovascular Care through a
courageous act in an effort to save a life. The awards were earned
on two separate incidents. One involved a young adult female and
the other an adult male. Both were successfully resuscitated by the
Weare Fire Department members and made a healthy recovery
“These awards recognize the outstanding work by the men and
women of the Fire Department”, Chief Vezina stated. “The awards
also represent a tangible validation of the Department’s overall goal
to improve patient survival from Sudden Cardiac Events, which
would not be possible without the financial commitment from the
community through the budget process.”

Publisher’s Perspective
I have been honored to cover the multitalented, gregarious, professional Jesse
Levine as she advanced through increasingly responsible positions in municipal
and county government. As Town Administrator in New London, her door was
always open with a willingness to help
anyone who came through it. Learning
that this vibrant, selfless woman has had
her unlimited future shattered by contracting ALS, or Lou Gerhig's Desease is devastating, certainly to Jesse and her family,
but also to those of us who know her.
Printed below is the thank you that Jesse began to read but was unable to finish
when she was overcome with emotion from
the support from people at the ceremony. "Wow… I am blown away. Just over
there is the Ausbon Sargent Common, and
behind that the Whipple Town Hall. Inside
the Academy Building is the Sydney Crook
Conference Room, and down the street is
the Tracy Memorial Library. It is an honor
beyond words that I’m in this category of
people that the town of New London wants
to remember. Never in a lifetime would I
have thought this possible, Thank you.
It may be trite to even go here, but as I
think about this dedication and look out at
my family and friends from just about every
part of my life, including from the roundabout project itself, I think I have an idea
of what Lou Gehrig meant when he said
he was the luckiest man on the face of this
Earth. I have been lucky at every turn: I am
lucky that my mother convinced my father
to move back to her native New Hampshire
so that I could be born here. I am lucky that
I grew up in Hopkinton and skied in New
London so that when the town administrator position opened up in 2000, it felt like
I was coming home. I am lucky that Doug
Lyon, Mark Kaplan, and Sue Clough gave
by Leigh Bosse
me this job that meant the world to me for
the best 11 years of my life. And I am even
luckier to have come home last year to
take an awesome job with Sullivan County,
whose primary mission is to help and serve
the public.
The people who volunteered and worked
for this town taught me what it is to want
to make a town a better place, and what it
takes to do just that. For years I’ve had a
favorite line on the list - and one that I think
sums up what public servant is: “fix it even if
you didn’t break it.”
So that’s what led to the roundabout
project. It was partly about fixing that
intersection and partly about fixing that part
of town that deserved to be as pretty and as
inviting as the rest. It was about stretching
the grant funds and town and water precinct
funds as far as they could go, which meant
that we had to do some thinking outside the
box, and this community was always willing
to do that. I absolutely loved that project
and still find myself preaching the roundabout gospel whenever someone gives me
an opening.
Thank you Board of Selectmen of the
Town of New London, for the honor of this
proclamation and dedication. Thank you to
those of you who conceived of the idea and
who ran with it and made today happen. I
am deeply, deeply touched. And, honestly, a
little embarrassed. But mostly touched.
Unless you are a Yankees fan (gasp) or
unless you Googled it like I did, you might
not know that the “ luckiest man” phrase
wasn’t the best part of Lou Gehrig’s speech.
The best part was the end, where he said
“So I close in saying that I might have been
given a bad break, but I’ve got an awful lot
to live for.” You just added another reason
to my long, long list. Thank you so much. I
love you all."
Wow indeed! LDB
Criticize but don't crucify
“We screwed up,” said Henniker Select
Board Chairman Kris Blomback several
times in answer to repeated questioning
as to how and why burned out truck parts
and equipment were sold to a scrap dealer
for $500 instead of its estimated value of
$10,000 to $20,000. “We’re under time
constraints. I’m not looking to dodge the
bullet, the select board screwed up; that
can be your headline," Blomback said,
looking straight at me. It would have been,
until a few citizens, who have never made
a mistake in their lives, undertook a witch
hunt demanding to know exactly who was
responsible and what retribution was to be
inflicted on them.
It mattered little that all the facts were
not in and that Blomback told residents the
selectmen are still trying to determine what
happened as well, but added that depending
on personnel rules, that information may
not be able to be disclosed to the public.
www.granitequill.com | july 24, 2015 | The Messenger | Page 13
is there evidence that officials intentionally
undersold the town or profited from it. Critisize, yes, but don't crucify any individual or
group for making an honest mistake. From
the moment of this tragic fire, the Henniker
selectmen and town officials have acted
quickly, decisively, in an honest and open
attempt to reclaim the department. For this
they are entitled to our thanks and respect
and perhaps a little credit that they will
handle this "screw up" properly and ensure
it won't happen again.
Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
Since the Spring of 2012 Senior
Citizens in the Hillsborough area, including Deering, Washington, Antrim and
Henniker, have been served well by the
Greater Hillsborough Senior Services.
This volunteer group has provided trips
for shopping, visits to doctors, monthly
luncheons, and fun for seniors. GHSS has
organized exercise classes for the body (tai
chi) and for the mind (Cubic Rummy and
other games). The group’s support comes
from the communities it serves, from warrant articles in Deering and Hillsborough,
and through donations from organizations such as Rotary and Lions, and many
donations from individuals who see the
value that GHSS brings to our community.
News for seniors, announcements of events
and other items of interest are published
monthly in the free GHSS newsletter called
Senior Moments.
However, something curious has
happened that makes the name Senior Moments unavailable to GHSS for its senior
newsletter. GHSS had not registered the
title Senior Moments with the state. We
have become aware that in April of this
year Hillsborough resident and chairman
of the Hillsborough Senior Services Committee Mr Russell S. Galpin did register the
name Senior Moments in New Hampshire,
and this has forced GHSS to change the
name of its newsletter to Seniors Alive!
We believe that Mr Galpin is aware of the
existence of GHSS and its newsletter. One
might think that Mr Galpin, realizing that
Senior Moments was not registered, would
alert GHSS of its oversight so that it could
be corrected.
No, rather, he seems to have bought the
name for himself. What use Mr Galpin,
who incidentally is Hillsborough Town
Moderator, might get from his new purchase beggars the imagination. Of course,
changing the name of the senior’s newsletter won’t end its publication, but the
change is a vexation for those seniors who
have come to depend upon it for pertinent
information. If this was Mr. Galpin’s intent, we congratulate him on his successful mission. We cannot wait to hear what
other ‘services’ he plans for our seniors.

Can you make chili? Show the world
at the Annual Rotary Chili Fest Aug 23rd
To paraphrase that 60’s folk song made popular by the Kingston
Trio: Where have all the chili makers gone? Although we have a
great mix of professional entries already for this year’s Fire on the
Mountain Chili Fest, on Sunday, August 23 at beautiful Pat’s Peak,
very few amateur chili makers have signed up to date. Historically,
our Amateur Chili makers crowded the field with lots of creative
chili recipes from which to choose. We know you are out there Chili
makers, so come out of the woodwork in Henniker and surrounding communities and submit your recipe. It’s only fifteen dollars to
enter your chili recipe and you could go home with a cash prize of
$100, $250 or $350 and claim the coveted “Peoples’ Choice Award”
for 2015. More chili means more tasting – so march on into the
kitchen and get cooking. Chili’s will be judged on appearance, aroma, creativity, texture, taste and aftertaste. There is a special award
for Best Booth Display as well. This year, in answer to requests, all
the chili tasting will take place outdoors, rather than inside the ski
lodges. No more stuffy, crowded, hot buildings. Applications are
available to enter the Amateur Chili Cook Off at our web site: www.
chilinewhampshire.org. Download the application or contact this
year’s Chili Chair, Mary Krotzer at [email protected] for more

Antrim's Town Administrator Donna Hanson holds the painting donated to
the town by long time residents Steve and Pam Campbell. Painted by Giffin
and Russ Russell, the painting is a replica of one of the four murals that
are displayed on the "clock tower" of the Antrim Town Hall. Steve and Pam
have retired and will be residing in more temperate climates.
Antrim ZBA stands by its tower decision
The Antrim ZBA has upheld its decision to grant a special exception and variance to a 150-foot cell tower, rejecting an appeal of
the decision filed by Antrim resident Arthur Kaufman. Kaufman’s
appeal argued that the board did not require due diligence from the
applicant, Industrial Tower and Wireless to adequately document
the view impact during balloon tests and that they had not considered other sites with less visual impact from Pierce Lake. Vice-Chair
Ron Haggett felt that ITW had presented 11 other potential sites
that it had considered before settling on the property on Pierce Lake
Road. Member Shelley Nelkens maintained that using a water tower
at the Hawthorne College property should have been considered by
the applicant. After much discussion, the board voted 3-1 to reject
the appeal, with Nelkens opposed.
Warner man is fugitive from justice
The US Marshall’s district of NH is seeking a fugitive from justice
Charles James Sally. Sally is wanted for a parole violation as part of
a conviction and 1st Degree Assault sentence. Sally has an extensive
criminal history and a history of assaultive behavior and was last
known to live in the Warner, NH area where he has friends, family,

Goffstown to install LED streetlights
The Goffstown Selectmen have unanimously approved a request
from DPW director Adam Jacobs to install LED bulbs in streetlights
in town, a measure estimated to save about $40,000 annually.
Jacobs reported that the project would cost about $146,000 which
would be paid off by the savings from the LED bulbs within 2½
years. Eversource Energy is also offering a rebate in 2016 of $47,600
for the town to make the switch. A vendor will perform an audit of
every streetlight costing about $7,100 to determine the appropriate wattage and position of each streetlight and would also help
determine if new lights are needed in parts of town and if some can
be eliminated. The board voted to approve the audit, with a request
for proposals (RFP) to be issued based on its results.

Hillcat Summer Theatre presents Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
2015 was supposed to be the year of
hover boards, self-tying shoelaces, and
flying cars, according to Universal Pictures'
Back to the Future II. While the first two
inventions have yet to make their way into
homes across America, you can catch the
last one when the lights go up at Hillcat
Summer Theatre's production of Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang this August.
Director Heidi Doyle says of this year's
musical, "This is a show about imagination
and teamwork, both as a plot and for the
production crew! The story has all the elements that make it entertaining; heroic action, horrendous villains, comical fools, an
endearing romance and adorable children!"
Audiences will get to their chance to
see the inventions of Caractacus Potts and
hear those songs in two weeks. Shows run
August 7-9. The Friday and Saturday night
shows begin at 7:00 p.m., while the Sunday
show is a matinee beginning at 2 p.m. All
shows are at the Hillsboro-Deering Middle
School Auditorium, located at 8 Hillcat
Drive, just beyond the high school. Admission to the show is $10.00 for adults and
$7.00 for students, with children under 5
free. Tickets will be sold at the door but can
also be purchased ahead of time at Fuller
Public Library or at the HD Schools.

Goffstown Selectmen & State Representative at odds with each other
At a recent Selectmen meeting, Ray Johonnett said he was angered by comments
made by Selectman Scott Gross at a prior
meeting, in which Gross criticized State
Rep. John Burt, R-Goffstown, for his role in
the failure of the Plan Pinardville initiative
in 2013.
“He was using his position as a bully pulpit
to attack Mr. Burt,” Johonnett said. “Mr. Burt
did not stop Plan Pinardville. He was only one
man, so he couldn’t do it. So why is he being
attacked, not once, but twice that night?”
Plan Pinardville, which was recommended
by the Pinardville Ad Hoc Community and
supported by the U.S. Department of Housing
and Development, was voted down unanimously in September 2013 by the Planning
Board. On his blog, Burt referred to Plan as
"a government takeoff of Goffstown." Gross
didn't budge, saying that Burt played a key
role in Plan Pinardville’s demise, and said he
isn’t alone in his criticism of Burt on this issue.
“It is not only my belief, but the belief of many,
that Rep. Burt was leading the charge. Burt
said he’s never met Johonnett, but appreciat-
ed his support and also was upset with Gross’
appointment to the board. “I’m sure it was all
legal, but I think they should’ve had a special
election,” he said.
The League of NH Craftsmen’s 82nd Annual Craftsmen’s Fair boasts a variety of hands-on activities, stunning displays of handmade craft, an emphasis on children’s activities and workshops
and the chance to interact one-on-one with more than 350 craftsmen. This year’s Sculpture
Garden features a beautiful array of landscape sculptures and garden ornaments.

Total community effort completes new Weare playground
with vendors donating goods, loaning
equipment, and volunteering their time.
“The playground project came in under
budget at a cost of $93, 986,” said SAU 24
Business Manager Kathleen Sargent. “The
budgeted figure for the playground was
$100,000. However, it should be noted
"It really does take a village to educate
a child or complete a community project,"
said Weare School District Board Chair
Marge Burke. "And it was never more
evident than the recent weekend gathering
of volunteers to build a state of the art playground on the grounds of the Weare Middle School," she continued. The new playground at the Weare Middle School (soon
to be home to the Center Woods Upper Elementary School as well) was built over the
course of three days with the help of more
than 100 community volunteers. In addition to being a school playground, this new
facility also includes a fitness component
that will become part of the physical education curriculum for all students of Center Woods Upper Elementary School and
the Weare Middle School. It will also be
available for use by members of the community after school hours. "As Chair of the
Weare School Board," continued Burke, "I
could not be more proud of my community
than I am right now for their generosity in
supporting the students in Weare." The
support went beyond the borders of Weare
to the greater Manchester/Concord areas
Pictured are some of the hundreds of volunteers who contributed to the new playground.

that the original plan estimated the cost of
the project with the playground installed by
the company at $139,000. The original estimate was brought down to the $100,000
