ECRWSS PAID PRSRT STD US Postage Hillsboro, NH Permit #25 Postal Customer Visit us online at granitequill.com Vice Chairman Nicholas Campasano asked if the Goffstown Selectmen would be taking a position on the Petition Article to enact a Town Manager form of government. Campasano said that this article would change the form of government and he felt that at least a public statement from the Board needs to be made. This is a substantial article, he said. Selectman Peter Georgantas agreed, saying the Board needed to have a position on this subject. He added this article will affect how the Board of Selectmen will operate in the future. Campasano said when this came up several years ago, public hearings were held and those in attendance were overwhelmingly against this change. Chairman Collis Adams agreed there should be public outreach on this issue, informing the public on the difference between the responsibilities of a town manager and a town administrator. Georgantas asked if the Board of Selectmen, as a governing body, should have a recommendation, to which Adams replied that he is not comfortable with that idea. Georgantas argued that the Board had the experience and shouldn’t it have a recommendation for this, but Adams responded that the Board of Selectmen will not go away under a town manager form of government. Town Administrator Susan Desruisseaux agreed saying the Board would become policy makers and would rely upon the town manager to implement those policies. Adams said the Board’s primary duty would be to educate the public on the pros and cons of the article. Page 2 | The Messenger | January 23, 2015 | www.granitequill.com DUMP THE DUMP!

The device that the district beta tested during its development phase over the past several months is a new all-in-one business-class chassis switch called the ProSAFE M6100. The M6100 is a modular core-networking switch designed to provide high throughput and enhanced capabilities for improved network performance in businesses and education environments. Last summer the District was in the process of designing a new 10-gigabit network infrastructure to prepare the district for the increased demands of upcoming online testing programs and the exponential growth in the use of wireless devices. One of the vendors that the district was working with was Netgear. “When we saw the sophistication of the Goffstown network, with numerous VLAN configurations, multiple fiber-linked IDFs, cutting edge 802.11ac wireless, and the wide variety of clients that they support, we realized that Goffstown would be a great real-world candidate for the ProSAFE M6100 beta test,” said Randy Keener, Netgear regional sales manager. “We weren’t disappointed. The Goffstown team was well prepared, enthusiastic and was one of the most responsive participants in the program.” The flexibility and scalability of the M6100 allowed us to consolidate our switched network to deliver high bandwidth and enhanced management efficiencies,” explained Gary Girolimon, the Goffstown School District’s director of information technology. Netgear flew in a team of network engineers from the west coast to assist in the deployment of the M6100 at Goffstown High School. The district’s responsibilities included installing and testing a variety of firmware revisions and providing regular feedback on the functionality of the device in dealing with VLAN management, layer 3 routing, access control and various protocols. “The new Netgear equipment has enhanced the usability of our network, providing for public WiFi access to the In- ternet in tandem with our private wireless, and given us the ability to broadcast live video from any part of the Goffstown High School Building directly to the Goffstown Community Television studio," added Bourget. The Goffstown School District was one of 12 beta sites worldwide, one of three in the U.S., and was the only K-12 school district selected for the program. At the end of the test period the Goffstown School District was able to keep the equipment free of charge. The Netgear ProSAFE M6100 core switch is now the central device at the core of the district’s network. This program saved taxpayers thousands of dollars. Participating in the deployment of the Netgear ProSAFE M6100 are (left to right) Goffstown School District director of information technology Gary Girolimon; Netgear engineer Desi Whelan; Netgear regional sales manager Randy Keener; Goffstown network technology technician Geoff Johnson; Netgear engineer Derek Falberg; Goffstown tech support specialist Michael Engelsen; Goffstown computer technology instructor and technician Steve Bourget; and Goffstown tech support specialist Nick Smith.

Area seniors tour Ayer & Goss facility Carolyn and Skip McKean recently hosted 25 seniors from White Birch Community Center and invited them to visit the break room at the Ayer and Goss garage. This is no ordinary break room - there are wonderful displays of vintage articles from days gone by- including a wooden telephone booth, a jukebox, a treadle singer sewing machine, the soda fountain counter from the Henniker Pharmacy, along with many other interesting collectables from days gone by. In another section of the garage, we saw their amazing collection of beautifully restored antique trucks. Goffstown Police warn about gas scammers Goffstown police are warning residents that a man and woman are telling people they’ve run out of gas and asking for a few dollars so they can get where they are going, according to police. A concerned Goffstown resident told authorities that in talking with some friends, they realized they’d all been duped by “gas scammers” in the past month. They were approached by either a man or woman asking for gas money at the Irving station on Mast Road; Cumberland Farms in the village; Hannaford’s, Wa-Toy and at Wal-Mart and Target, both in Hooksett. Petition seeks withdrawal from SAU #43 Having failed to convince the Newport School Board to sponsor it, residents Bert Spaulding Sr. and Todd Fratzel, have submitted a petition to be placed on the School District warrant, asking voters if they would like to study the potential withdrawal from SAU 43. Requiring 25 signatures, Spaulding and Fratzel's contains 57 signatures. Calling the SAU "dysfunctional," Spaulding said by getting the article on the warrant now, if approved, the process would take about two years to complete. Antrim Selectmen agree to Solar array On Tuesday, the Antrim Selectmen signed a one-year lease agreement with N.H. Solar Garden of Stratham, allowing the company to build a solar array on the site of the town's former sewer lagoons. Although the agreement allows the developer to ready the site for building, the final decision hinges on voter approval of a warrant article asking the town to authorize the board to enter into a longer, 20-year lease agreement with N.H. Solar Garden. If approved, Solar Garden will pay a lease payment of $8,000 per year to build the solar array on town land. The town would also have the option to purchase electricity from the solar array at a rate of 1 cent cheaper than the current 10.6 cents per kilowatt the town is currently paying. According to Chair Mike Genest, it would be about $4,300 in savings per year, based on the town's current energy usage. Both the town and N.H. Solar Garden would have the option, at the end of the 20year lease, to extend it for a five-year period. www.granitequill.com | January 23, 2015 | The Messenger | Page 5 Newport High School crowns Rock-Paper-Scissors Champ By Becky Nelson, SAU #43 Public Relations Specialist “Just for fun and to help the students relax a little bit during stressful times around the holidays,” said Newport High School mentor and teacher, James Faulkner in reference to a recent in-school competition of the age-old game of “Rock-Paper-Scissors.” Participants in the tourney had a lot at stake, as the winner heads off to a R-P-S tournament at Derryfield School in Manchester on Sunday, January 25 at the Derryfield School Gymnasium. Dozens, if not hundreds of participants and observers are expected. It’s kind of fun for a few minutes, even as an adult, to challenge a buddy to a simplistic game and cover their “rock” (fist) with your paper (flattened hand) to win or have your scissors (second and third fingers extended from your fist) cut their “paper” to win a round. But when their “rock” crushes your “scissors," the tides turn and your challenge is lost. But at the high school recently, this challenge got serious when Newport High School champion, Tyler Maheu (Grade 11), earned the right to head to the statewide tourney. “This is a tournament we hold simply to send someone to the state ‘Rock-PaperScissors’ tournament, and have some fun,” said Faulkner. “What we hope students get out of this is a fun distraction from school and something that anybody can participate in,” said Faulkner. If you really pressed the issue, it can be said that strategy may play a role in the winner taking the game. Students may learn something about watching an opponent’s face for clues, honing their sensory and observation skills and fine tuning fine motor skills to “throw” or “shoot” their choice just a millisecond later than the opponent as the brain synapses fire to cover or break or cut as appropriate. According to Derryfield School’s website, the tournament, now in its second year, was the brainchild of a student set to graduate two years hence, and is completely run with student volunteers who garner donations, man concession booths, invite schools to participate, set up the tournament, provide referees and send invitations to schools across the state. Cheer squads for competitors are welcome. According to event mentor, Ben Dougherty, Head of the Upper School of Derryfield, “every once in a while it is important not to take yourself too seriously and just have fun. Rock, paper, scissors…shoot!” Good luck at the finals, Tyler. May the best student win. Ian Jensen (l) and Tyler Maheu (r) in the foreground.

New Boston, New Hampshire Office: 603.424.4475 [email protected] www.mptrnh.com TAKE YOUR MEDICINE If all eye doctors prescribed the less expensive of two drugs to treat two common eye diseases of older adults, taxpayer-funded Medicare plans could save $18 billion over a 10-year period, say researchers at the University of Michigan in the June issue of Health Affairs. Further, patients with the wet form of macular degeneration or who have diabetic macular edema could keep $4.6 billion in co-pays in their wallets, and BY SARAH CHAPIN the rest of the U.S. health care system could save $29 billion in private insurance payments and other costs, according to the team. The reason for the dramatic savings: bevacizumab (marketed under the name Avastin) costs $55 per treatment and ranibizumab (trade name Lucentis) runs $2,023 for each dose — nearly 40 times more expensive. Yet, the drugs have similar efficacy in treating these conditions, and both have fairly comparable side effect and safety profiles when used to treat eye disease, the researchers say. • • • Bevacizumab originally was created as a cancer-fighting drug, given in much higher doses to slow the development of blood vessels, thereby inhibiting the growth of tumors. In diabetic macular edema and one form of macular degeneration, it is the abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina that causes blindness. Used in the eye, the medication targets the bleeding and swelling that occurs in the retina and shrinks the blood vessels. For a number of years physicians have used bevacizumab to treat these eye conditions off label, meaning prescribed for a use other than the one originally intended. In its full dose for cancer treatment (at 150 times the concentration of the ocular injections), the drug is more expensive, but the cost goes down when reduced to smaller doses for the eye. The same drug company that manufactured bevacizumab created ranibizumab, which was approved by the FDA as a drug targeted at these eye diseases. In doing so, the company attached the higher price to the new drug. • • • Brought to you as a public service by HENNIKER PHARMACY • 603-428-3456 P.O.Box 718 • Proctor Square • Henniker, NH 03242 Members of the NH Rebellion stopped at Hillsborough's Smith Church to eat on their way to Concord. The NH Rebellion pauses in Hillsborough Members of the "NH Rebellion" stopped at the Smith Memorial Congregational Church in Hillsborough for lunch during their walk from Keene to Concord. They're trying to bring awareness to the movement spearheaded by the non-profit organization "Open Democracy." Following the lead of the late "Granny D," the group consists of individuals dedicated to getting big money out of politics and felt that the "Live Free or Die" state of New Hampshire was a perfect place to spread their message. After a panel discussion at NEC on Monday, they continued to Concord where they held a rally on the State House lawn to hopefully persuade legislators to pass laws prohibiting big money in politics. Goffstown gets Homeland Security Grant The Goffstown Selectmen recently held a Public Hearing to accept and expend a 2014 Homeland Security Competitive Grant for $11,002 to purchase ballistic equipment and trauma supplies for firefighters and EMTs responding to violent incidents. Fire Chief O’Brien said there has been an uptick of violent situations where there has been a mass number of victims, i.e., Sandy Hook and Aurora, Colorado. Via studies it was found that many victims may have been saved had they been treated rapidly. There is a movement throughout the country and world to provide Fire and EMS personnel with ballistic equipment and trauma supplies to operate efficiently in those types of environments. Goffstown Fire will be working with NH EMS on training and that will be integrated into the annual EMT refresher training. After a short hearing, the board unanimously accepted the grant. Henniker house fire quickly extinguished Firefighters from four communities needed about an hour to extinguish a blaze that destroyed a small house at 137 Lone Pine Road early last Thursday morning. Flames were seen shooting high above the single story home, which was unoccupied at the time. According to Henniker Fire Chief Steve Burritt, the fire was started by a heater used to defrost frozen pipes. The property is owned by Eugene Monroe, 80, who was visiting his sister the night of the fire. His son, Lane Monroe, said barking dogs woke him and his roommates at the main house next door. Monroe said the two buildings share a water supply so to prevent frozen pipes they had a heat lamp in there. Four survive Bradford house fire Monday About 50 firefighters were called to battle a Bradford house fire on West Meadow Road around 1 a.m. Monday night. The family of four escaped safely after a teenage daughter woke up and discovered the fire. When firefighters arrived, they found heavy fire in the back of the house. According to Fire Chief Mark Goldberg, the cause remains under investigation, but officials believe it started in the rear porch area. www.granitequill.com | January 23, 2015 | The Messenger | Page 7 Duncan-Jenkins Trust celebrates its 13th Annual Recognition Dinner A large crowd gathered in the HDMS cafetorium last Thursday to celebrate the 13th Annual Ducan-Jenkins Trust Recognition Dinner. The Trust, generously funded in the will of the late Sally Jenkins provides student and teacher enrichment opportunities and scholarships for the Washington and Hillsboro-Deering Schools. For 2014 the Trust granted $74,550 for student enrichment programs. The richness of these programs included an 8th Grade Trip to Washington, D.C., Music in the Parks Festival, "Slapstick Science" at the Washington Elementary School, No Strings Marionettes, a field trip to the Currier Museum of Art, and Colonial Overnights at Plimoth Plantation. It also gave $100,350 for teacher enrichment programs which provided opportunities for teachers to travel during the summer to enhance their skills through workshops and training sessions and to participate in special programs related to their teaching. As a result of these grants, teachers were able to attend a variety of profes- sional conferences throughout the United States, and to travel to Spain, France, Scandinavia, and the Canadian Maritimes. The scholarship program in 2014 awarded $99,460 in scholarships to a total of 53 students.

Vehicle break-ins in Goffstown and Bow Goffstown and Bow Police have issued warnings for residents to keep their vehicles locked in light of reports of people attempting to break into parked cars. On Tuesday, Goffstown Police received a report of two men in dark clothing walking down Henriette Street from Edmond Street. The two men were reportedly seen approaching vehicles and pulling on door handles to see if vehicles were locked. Authorities also noticed an increase of thefts from vehicles during the overnight of Jan. 15 in the area of Tanager, Goldfinch and Eagle’s Nest roads. On Wednesday, Bow Police issued a news release saying they are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying individuals responsible for a dozen thefts from vehicles over the past month. Two incidents were reported on Tuesday. www.granitequill.com | January 23, 2015 | The Messenger | Page 9 Henniker Selectmen and School Board at odds over playground A large contingent from the Henniker Community School and the Tucker Free Library attended the Henniker Selectmen's meeting Tuesday night asking the Board's permission to indicate that the town owns part of the land on which the school hopes to erect a new playground, on grant applications. With Chair Kris Blomback away on business, Vice Chair Leo Aucoin ran the meeting. Aucoin made it clear that this discussion was limited to the Selectmen cooperating solely on potential grant applications, and not on the Board's support of the playground project. Fresh from his attendance at the School Board's Budget Meeting at which he challenged the Board's placing $90,000 for the playground in the operating budget rather than as a separate warrant article, Aucoin acknowledged that this was not the proper forum for that discussion, but promised to return to the School's Budget Hearing in February. Although supportive of grants that did not include taxpayer funds, board member Bob French made it clear that he did not support the project and Tia Hooper questioned the use of taxpayer funds in the school's budget. Tree Farm in Supreme Court The case of Stephen Forster d/b/a Forster's Christmas Tree Farm v. The Town of Henniker is scheduled for oral argument in the NH Supreme Court on February 19th at 9:00 a.m. Forster is appealing the Henniker Planning Board's ruling barring weddings at the farm. It is expected that several NH farmers will be in attendance to hear this case based on the state's definition of "Agrotourism."

School Board opposes school closing warrant articles At their Tuesday meeting the ConVal School Board discussed the two petitioned warrant articles dealing with declining enrollments and decided not to support either. The decision to not support the petition to close Great Brook School was almost immediate with little discussion. Although the decision was to oppose the second petition, there was some discussion with some members suggesting they should be open to closing an elementary school, if the number of students in any grade becomes too small to provide a good education.

Also from The Granite Quill: IN New Hampshire Your Guide to What’s Happening in the Granite State Senior Lifestyles A Guide for New Hampshire’s Active Seniors Publisher’s Perspective by Leigh Bosse The Good, The Bad & The Ugly The School Board at Henniker Community School wants to construct a new playground estimated to cost $225,000 to $275,000. That's the Good. The Board is asking taxpayers to fund the initial $90,000 in hopes the remainder can be raised with donations. That's the Bad. Why should taxpayers be out $90,000 if those lofty donation goals are not reached? Complicating the issue, the boundary line dispute between the school the town and the Grange has not been settled so school officials don't even know if they have enough land to construct the playground on. To raise those taxpayer dollars, the Board has "buried" the $90,000 in the op- erating budget as "maintenance" instead of placing it in a separate warrant article. And, that's the Ugly. Some Board members admit doing it that way because they fear voters will reject a warrant article. By making the $90,000 a budget line item, they get to build a playground despite what voters may think. Members of the Henniker School Board are honorable people and this ploy is beneath them. This intentional bypass of voter approval is an insult to Henniker taxpayers and a slap in the face to the democratic process. The Board should immediately reverse its decision and include the playground as a separate warrant article. Letters to the Editor This letter is in response to an article that appeared in the January 16, 2015 edition of The Messenger. The Henniker School Board feels that both the tone and the content of their budget workshop were misrepresented in that article. Minutes of the Budget Work Session are on the SAU 24 website and reflect the official proceedings at the meeting. The playground project has been an ongoing conversation at Henniker School Board meetings. Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Lorraine Tacconi-Moore presented the proposed playground expenditure of $90,000 at both the School Board meeting on December 3, 2014 and again at the beginning of the Budget Work Session on January 8, 2015. Expenditures for the playground were discussed in great length at both sessions. The playground inspection report that was conducted in August of 2014 found concerns that required a direct response from the Board. The report cited the main wooden/composite structure, as well as other structures within the playground, as containing several areas of concern and recommended replacement. The Board understood that replacement of the playground could not be deferred and carefully considered whether to replace individual components in a piecemeal manner or to redesign and replace the existing playground utilizing both taxpayer dollars and funding from grants and donations. The removal of the main structure without any replacement is estimated to cost $20,000 and severely limits play opportunities for the students. When the Board had finished its discussion of the proposed budget at their work session, Chairman Gary Guzouskas opened the floor for questions or concerns from the public in attendance. When asked why the expenditure for the playground was placed in the operating budget as opposed to a separate warrant article, Mr. Guzouskas explained that if the voters rejected a specific warrant article, then the project could not be revisited for at least a year and no monies, including donations or funding received through grants, could be expended during that time period. When the Board was asked about other cost-saving measures such as program reductions, Member Zach Lawson asked if the audience had specific programs in mind. Principal Katherine McBride stated that all current programs are required for school approval from the NHDOE with the exception of Spanish and Chinese, which are both part-time offerings and therefore have minimal fiscal impact. The Henniker School Board always has operated in a transparent fashion and invites the public to attend their meetings to gain a full understanding of the issues the school faces. www.granitequill.com | January 23, 2015 | The Messenger | Page 13 McElroy, Vice Chairperson, Peter Flynn, Membe,r Zach Lawson, Member, Deb Urbaitis, Member Capitol Comments New Hampshire House and Senate policy committees face very busy calendars for the foreseeable future as state legislators begin to fulfill their obligation to give each of the hundreds of bills proposed this year a fair and open public hearing. Thanks to a wellmaintained General Court web site (www. gencourt.state.nh.us), anyone can access the same basic data lawmakers receive to prepare for these hearings and keep a close eye on how each piece of legislation is progressing through the 2015 session. On this web site you’ll find separate “dashboards” for the House and Senate where you can open the weekly calendar for either body to see what issues will be worked on in the coming week. Above those, you’ll spot a “State Legislation Dashboard” where you can research and track the individual bills referenced in the calendars. For instance, by going to the Senate Dashboard and opening the current Senate Calendar, you’ll see all of the public hearings scheduled for the coming week, and that one of the committees I serve on, the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, will consider SB 38, a bill establishing a commission to develop a land conservation plan. Then, by moving up to the State Legislation Dashboard and typing “SB38” into the search box you’ll be sent to a separate page that will track this bill through the entire session. Here you can read the text of the bill and learn that I am one of the cosponsors of this legislation. SB 38 is based on the premise that “adequate protection of New Hampshire’s natural assets is essential to maintaining and safeguarding the state’s economy and character for today’s population and for future generations.” The bill would create a commission representing conservation groups, sportsmen, businesses, the hospitality industry, agriculture, motorized and nonmotorized trail users, several state agencies and many other stakeholders. If the bill passes and the commission is created, its as- By District 8 State Senator Jerry Little signment will be to identify specific natural resource protection priorities requiring further state investment over the next 5 years to ensure that we all continue to enjoy: *Adequate quality and quantity of water supplies for domestic, industrial and recreational uses, *Adequate areas of productive soils to support current and future agricultural activities, *Adequate forests to sustain production of forest products for present and future generations, *Adequate core habitat and linkage areas to maintain our diverse native plants and animals, *Adequate land base to support motorized and non-motorized recreational activities, and, *Protection of scenic vistas and land with unique physical features that support the state’s quality of life and a strong tourism economy. One of the reasons most of us choose to live in New Hampshire is a strong appreciation for our diverse and beautiful natural environment. At the same time, we need an equally strong and diverse business environment to create the opportunities and jobs that allow us to afford to continue to work and live in these wonderful surroundings. The challenge is to find the right balance, and that’s what SB 38 seeks to do. Would you like to communicate with me or any other lawmaker about SB 38? Head back to the web site where you’ll find links for our telephone numbers, as well as postal and email addresses. Finally, a quick note of congratulations to my colleague, District 3 State Senator Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro, who last week completed what avid hikers call The Grid. By hiking to the top of Mount Adams on a bitterly cold and windy but sunny January day he became the 49th person in history to climb all of New Hampshire’s 48 mountains over 4,000 feet high in each month. Forty eight mountains times 12 months equals 576 peaks bagged! Senator Bradley says he does some of his best legislative problem solving on the trail. I’ll keep that in mind the next time someone tells me to go take a hike.

Brett's dad, Gene, was driving Brett and a friend to an outdoor rink in Goffstown when the net and their four hockey sticks fell out of the back of the truck. When they returned to find them, the net was there, but the sticks were gone. The next day, Brett made a cardboard sign and put it where they thought the sticks may have fallen out. Seeing the sign, the Manchester Monarchs' head equipment manager got the Monarchs to deliver six new sticks tailing with tape and pucks to the Patnode's home.

Telephone survey supports Mount Sunapee A telephone survey conducted by Mount Sunapee Resort shows strong support for the resort’s planned West Bowl expansion in the Mount Sunapee State Park. “We’re very encouraged by the results of the survey,” said Jay Gamble, the resort’s vice president and general manager. “We wanted to know what the people of the region felt, because we care what our community thinks.” Opposition to the expansion from the group Friends of Mount Sunapee say the poll was a deceptive “push poll,” and said its results should not guide Department of Resources and Economic Development officials who are presently studying the proposal. The resort’s 2014 master development plan, which must be approved by DRED and other state agencies, calls for new skiing in the West Bowl in the form of four new top-to-bottom trails and a 5,100-foot high-speed detachable quad chairlift. Resort officials have said there are no plans for housing developments on the state-owned land, but opponents want a public guarantee that no housing developments will be built on the lands. The Friends group says the plan “would introduce private resort development to the mountain’s western slopes,” a claim resort officials say is false, as there are no housing plans in the proposal.

Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., held a town hall-style meeting at the Odd Fellows Hall in Goffstown last Friday. She began the meeting by informing the crowd that the federal debt had reached $18 trillion, comparing it to the cost of 40 gallons of New Hampshire maple syrup for every person in the United States. “It took two parties to get us this far into debt,” she said. “It’s going to take two parties working together to get us out of this.” Ayotte also warned her constituents that Medicare would be insolvent by 2030, and Social Security by 2033.The senator strongly condemned the recent release of five Yemeni detainees from Guantanamo Bay, saying that many of those released from Guantanamo have gotten “back in the battle of terrorism against us.”“The notion that we would send Gitmo detainees (back) to Yemen is crazy,” Ayotte said, saying that Yemen is the center of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and “the wild, wild West for terrorists.” AG clears Henniker officer The Attorney General’s report indicates that Henniker Police Officer Stephen Dennis was justified in shooting a man who was committing a robbery in November, according to the Attorney General’s Office, even though it turned out the attacking man had a butter knife, not a gun, in his possession. Senator Ayotte answered questions on a variety of topics.
