falsified documents following a botched
drug bust that ended with police shooting
an unarmed man.
Kelley later sued the town, claiming
he was fired after showing signs of posttraumatic stress disorder. According to
Court records, the case was settled May 19,
but the terms of the settlement, including

Henniker Community School students visit the State House
Henniker's 4th graders braved the
misty rain on June 15th to venture off
to the State capital building in Concord.
Students enjoyed a fact filled tour of
the State House and were introduced to
State Representatives who shared information about their jobs.
When they returned to their classrooms, Mrs. Morono's students broke
up into different sections and tried to
pass a bill. First the student State Representatives came up with the idea to create bike lanes on all NH streets, but the
student Senators turned it down saying
it was too expensive.
Then the student Representatives
tried another bill—no candy at school.
The student Senators talked at great
length and decided to pass it on to the
student Executive Council and student Governor. In the end, the student
Governor (Nathan Nelson) vetoed the
no candy bill, saying, "Kids have to have
candy!"
“Field trips like these make social
studies text book readings come to
life,” said 4th grade teacher Caroline
Morono. “Visiting the State House
helps our 9 and 10 year old 4th graders
better understand the meaning of state
government. Some students leave the
trip thinking that they might like to be a
State Representative, Senator, or Governor some day,” concluded Morono.
Business Admin. hired
The SAU#43 School Bar has authorized Superintendent Cindy Gallagher to
hire Terry Wiggin of Ashland for the business administrator’s position. Wiggin met
with board members prior to the vote in a
non-public meeting taking questions and
answering concerns.She will replace outgoing business administrator Bonnie Sandstrom who will leave at the end of June.

Towle students break Pasta Walk record
Records are made to be broken, and that held true for fifth
and sixth grade students at Newport's Towle Elementary School
who recently contributed 507 boxes of pasta to the Newport Food
Pantry, breaking the former record of 469 boxes. They walked
from the school to the Food Pantry to deliver their goods.Leading
the group was a pair of sixth graders, James Carnevale and Ben
Spivey, who won the honor by answering the most questions
correctly in the Rich Chappell Memorial Pasta Parade Trivia.
As a reward, they were the parade grand marshals and both got
to wear a pasta hat along the parade route that passed through
the downtown area. Before his passing, Chappell, director of the
Food Pantry, said the highest need for a food item in the summer
months is dry pasta. This was the third year for the pasta walk.
Antrim accident by driver's inattention
HARDWARE
Mon-Sat 8-5 • Sun 9-3
The Weare Food Pantry was successfully moved to its new
location at 613 South Stark Highway, on Saturday. Moldy test
results canceled the original plan to move into the basement of
the Holy Cross Episcopal Church. The pantry now occupies the
former Classic Armorer store and now has space for both the
pantry and a thrift store, whose proceeds could subsidize the pantry. The Pantry is now open for business and is actively seeking
donations of both food and marketable items for the Thrift store.
The Weare Selectmen have authorized some start-up funds, and
the Goffstown Rotary Club made a generous $200 donation from
its recent car show, but your contributions are needed now.
Antrim Police believe driver inattention was the cause of an
accident. According to reports, Megan Lafleur, 25, of Antrim, was
driving southbound on Concord Street on the morning of June 10
when her 2006 Pontiac drifted across the center line, coliding with
a cement truck owned by Central Concrete of Henniker and driven
by Robert Junkins, 52, of Deering. Junkins swerved to avoid a
head-on collision. The car then went back across the southbound
lane, off the road, and landed in a ditch. Lafleur was then taken by
ambulance to Monadnock Community Hospital, where she was
treated and released that day. Junkins was uninjured. Police do
not believe alcohol, speed or weather to be a factor, and no citations have yet been issued, but investigation is ongoing.

Sean Kelly sworn in as Weare's new Police Chief as new era begins
Flanked by members of the police
department, Keith Lacasse, Chairman of the
Weare Selectmen, swore in Sean Kelly as the
town's new Police Chief, beginning a new,
and hopefully more positive era for the Department. Saturday afternoon's ceremony
included town officials, family, friends residents and law enforcement personnel from
several departments. Kelly's wife, Barbara,
pinned the gold chief’s badge on his jacket
before he addressed the assembled.
“Ethics and morality is not a job, it is a
lifestyle,” Kelly said.“I know in my heart and
soul that I owe a great debt of gratitude to
the people in this room and the many more
that have touched my life in preparation for
today.”
After thanking his parents for teaching
him right from wrong, and his children, for
putting up with a dad who missed a lot of
their activities, he praised his wife, Barbara,
"the absolute love of my life. I can’t possibly
pay her back or thank her enough for everything she has done over the years to bring
me to this moment.”
Concluding the ceremony Kelly cut a
cake shaped like an officer’s hat with a replica of the chief’s badge.
VFW restoration put on hold
The Town of Bennington has delayed
a proposed $300,000 renovation of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall in order to
pursue an LCHIP grant for the project. The
grant would cover up to half of the cost, with
the town contributing 25% in funds, and
the rest in in-kind volunteer work. Peter
Martell, of the Energy Committee asked
the town to delay foundation work until the
LCHIP grant had been submitted and the
property reviewed by LCHIP supervisors,
as starting work before that could affect the
town’s chance for being awarded the grant,
he said.
Sean Kelly cuts the ceremonial cake concluding his induction as Weare's new Police Chief.

No one was home when fire gutted this Goffstown duplex.
Goffstown fire damage set at $100,000+
A Goffstown firefighter was sent to a local hospital for exhaustion and two pets died in a Summer Street house fire Monday
afternoon. Damages is estimated at over $100,000.
The Fire Department received a 911 call from a neighbor saying there was black smoke coming from the house. The tenants,
Michael Briscoe, his two young daughters, Sierra and Sarah, and
his girlfriend, Amy Whitney, were not home at the time. According
to Fire Chief Richard O’Brien, the fire started on the first floor in
the living room on their side of the duplex and spread rapidly to the
second floor and into the attic and into the other unit, which was
unoccupied. Firefighters from Bedford, New Boston, Weare, Dunbarton, Hooksett and Manchester assisted at the scene. Michael
Briscoe and his daughters had lived at the duplex for two years. His
girlfriend had just moved to the house from Newmarket the week
before, and her two children were supposed to move there soon.
Fire at Naughton & Son Recycling Plant
A quick response by Bradford firefighters extinguished a twoalarm fire at Naughton and Son Recycling Plant. Fire Chief Mark
Goldberg reports that a piece of machinery sparked near a container
full of gasoline, which quickly ignited inside the building, sending
flames 30 feet into the air. "Four workers inside the building all
escaped without any injuries," said Goldberg. Crews from New London, Newbury, Washington, Henniker, Warner and Sutton assisted
and the fire was under control in about 30 minutes.
Bike hits tractor trailer - rider injured
Goffstown Police are investigating a crash involving a commercial vehicle and a bicycle on the Route 114 Bypass Tuesday. Authorities said a man riding a bicycle collided with the side of a commercial tractor-trailer traveling southbound. Police said the bicyclist was
not wearing a helmet and suffered serious injuries. They said he was
transported to Elliot Hospital. Authorities said the driver involved
was cooperating with the investigation. Police said those who saw
the crash can call Goffstown Police at 603-497-4858.
No response to Bennington's bids request
Phase II of Bennington’s sidewalk improvement project has
been postponed until next spring because the town can't find
anyone to do the work. Phase I was completed with a grant from
the Department of Transportation, which the town matched with
$140,000, or 20 percent, of the $700,000 total cost. The town's
share of the second phase, $119,200, has been appropriated at past
Town meetings.

Toad Hall renovation is the first step in a revitalized Franklin
Todd Workman of Gilford is committed to revitalizing downtown Franklin.
Workman and his business partner, Ed
Forster, owner of the Riverbend Mill,
are working with CATCH and the city of
Franklin to convert the old mill into 45
low income rental units.
His most recent project, Toad Hall at
the intersection of Central and Franklin
streets is now open six days a week. The
hall has been opened for special events,
music performances and film showings,
but until recently has not been fully open
to the public.

New charges have been brought against a Franklin couple, currently under indictment for child sex-trafficking. More than a dozen
new counts now charge William Shine, 41, with raping two teenage

sexual assaults. In November, the Shines were arrested on charges

Henniker students at Strawbery Banke
Caroline Morono’s 4th grade class from the Henniker Community School recently visited historic Strawbery Banke. This trip gave
the students the opportunity to experience and imagine how people
lived and worked in this typical American neighborhood through
nearly four centuries of history. Strawbery Banke tells the stories of
the many generations who settled in this Portsmouth, New Hampshire "Puddle Dock" community from the late 17th to the mid-20th
century.
John Stark's Summer Reading Program
This summer all John Stark students, including those who will
be freshmen in the new year, have the opportunity to participate in
two different reading challenges. The first is the Flume Teen Choice
book award. This program offers ten titles that have been selected
by NH high school students to read this summer. You get to vote for
your favorite, the voting will take place in October with the winning
book being announced later in the year. You will also have the opportunity to nominate books to be included in next year's contest. For specifics on the Flume Book Choice, please see the website at
yals.nhlibrarians.org/book-awards/flume/ This second program,
which is being piloted this summer by John Stark, offers students
the opportunity to earn community learning hours. All of the books
selected for this challenge have a common theme: community, apathy, empathy, giving back, and doing for others. Students will keep
a reading log and answer questions. Mariposa Museum "YES Competition"
ConVal students Tierney Thompson, Emma Johnson, and
Courtney Jones delivered the winning presentation at the Third Annual Mariposa Museum and ConVal High School YES Competition
on May 28th. The team won a $3,000 grant from the Mariposa for
the non-profit organization they represented, Autism Speaks. The
YES program, an acronym for Youth Empowered through Service,
is supported by the Mariposa Museum, board member James
Kelly, and C&S Wholesale Grocers of Keene in a unique collaboration with ConVal under the direction of Social Studies Department
Chair Nancy Gagnon. Other student teams reaching the final round
at the Mariposa in May included: Douglas White and Thayer Taft,
representing The Birchtree Center in Newington, N.H., Joshua
Bartsch and Brett Kasim representing The Nashua Soup Kitchen
and Shelter, and Isobel Sylvian and Reilly McCarty representing
EduGo. Sylvian and McCarty could not be present at the finals due
to a scheduling conflict.

Publisher’s Perspective
by Leigh Bosse
Guinta Must Go
Messenger readers know that I am a
proud member of the Republican Party.
I strongly support its core principals of
limited government, personal liberty and
individual responsibility, and I will not sit
by and see those principals tarnished by
anyone of any party.
Congressman Frank Guinta has admitted to violating campaign finance laws by
diverting over $300,000 of his parents'
money into his election campaign account
in 2010, and has been lying about it for
five years before the proof came out.
For this transgression, he should im-
mediately resign. This is not a matter of a
politician voting incorrectly on a piece of
legislation.
It is not a matter of being too liberal or
too conservative. Frank Guinta is a crook
and no measure of personal or party loyalty can be allowed to trump the principal
of public accountability.
By his actions, Guinta has shattered
the public trust and will never be reelected. He will be defeated, hopefully in
a Republican primary, if we are to retain
the seat. He needs to resign now, so that a
special election can be held this fall.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
On Saturday, May 23, 2015 my daughter’s ex-boyfriend thought it would be a
great idea to drop off my grandson and
daughter’s belongings at the top of our
driveway when we weren’t home. Apparently people that drive by my
house on a regular basis felt it was a free
for all and they were entitled to stop and
take whatever was there for themselves.
These items WERE NOT FREE for the
taking! These items belonged to my grandson and daughter.
How could anyone of you think these
items were being tossed away like garbage? Toys, laptops, cameras, clothes, etc. Shame
on all of you for being so greedy.
You did not hit the lottery that day. You became a criminal. Do the right thing
and bring back what you stole. Lisa Demers, Windsor ****************************************
Dear Drivers,
My most valued possession is inside
the trailer behind my truck. He stepped
into that rolling steel box because I asked
him to, and he trusts me. He's a living,
breathing creature, and all 1,200 lbs of
him are precariously balanced on four
small hoofs as my truck and trailer wind
down the road.
My horse is not a boat or camp trailer,
and I cannot stop quickly or turn sharply
without risking his safety and even his life. Know that I will do just about anything to
avoid hitting the brakes with a horse in my
trailer.
When I make those wide turns, I need
them to prevent my horse from scrambling. Please give me room and time to
turn.
And that large distance between me
and the car in front of me? It might look
like enough room to fit three tractor trailers, but it’s actually the distance I need to
stop softly and safely without my horse
falling.
Those times when we’re headed up a
hill, my speed is as fast as I can go. My
foot has the accelerator pressed to the
floor, and no matter how hard you try,
your Honda can’t push us up this hill. I
promise I’ll move to the right lane when
it becomes available or pull over if I find a
safe spot on the shoulder, but until then I
ask for your patience and some space.
Lastly, my set up weighs 3 tons, and
that much weight prevents me from swerving. When you pass me going 80mph
uphill on a blind corner, you don’t just
put my horse at risk: Your risky driving
threatens the lives of the oncoming driver,
my passenger, me, you, and everyone in
the cars behind us.
So next time you see a horse trailer,
assume a loved animal is in there. Please
give some space, and offer some patience. By driving safely, we’ll all get where we’re
going.
Thank you,
Ann Poole, Hillsborough

Seconday School Of Excellence
As reported earlier in The Messenger, New
Hampshire Excellence in Education Awards
(EDies) has selected Bow High School as the
2015 recipient of the NH Secondary School
of Excellence Award. Relevance and engagement, rigor and high standards, personalization of the learning environment, whole
community involvement and empowered
educators ... these educational indicators
— when done well — can turn a pretty good
school into a GREAT one. The EDies Board
believes strongly that this is exactly the case at
Bow High School.
Superintendent of the Year
The New Hampshire School Administrators Association has selected Jerome Frew as
the New Hampshire Superintendent of the
Year. Frew is the outgoing superintendent of
the Kearsarge Regional School District that
represents the towns of Bradford, Newbury,
New London, Springfield, Sutton, Warner and
Wilmot. His distinguished career encompasses
many statewide positions, including the presidencies of NHSAA and the New Hampshire
Association of School Principals.
He has also been the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award and the James Desmarais Outstanding Service Award presented
by the NHASP. Mark Joyce, executive director
of the NHSAA, noted, “Jerry is a wonderful
example of an outstanding educational leader
and embodies our motto of being a ‘Champion
for Children.’”
School Nurse of the Year
The New Hampshire School Nurses’ Association has selected Pamela Murphy, R.N.,
as the 2015 School Nurse of the Year. Murphy
has demonstrated outstanding abilities in her
specialized role of school nursing for 18 years.
She is the much-loved school nurse of Peterborough Elementary School, bringing much to
the role with her nursing ability and knowledge, but also her deep and personal care for
all those around her. Her accomplishments
are many, including introducing “Monadnock
Healthy Teeth” into the school district, serving
her community with her involvement in such
programs as Operation Santa, as well as her
involvement in the development of the now
well-established School Kids in Peterborough
(SKIP) program, which is a before- and after
school program providing needed supervision
and nutrition for students in the area.
Christa McAuliffe Sabbatical Award
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation has chosen Heidi Pauer to receive this
year’s Christa McAuliffe Sabbatical Award.
Pauer has taught in the Bow School District
since 1997 and is currently teaching English/
Humanities at Bow High School. During her
sabbatical, Pauer will be a creativity coach
traveling to multiple schools in New Hampshire presenting workshops, providing one-onone coaching and alternative assessments for
high school teachers of all subjects. Her plan
is to reach more than 14 different schools and
impact hundreds of students in each subject
area. Her enthusiasm is contagious but does
not begin to describe the energy she brings
to her classroom, and now she will be able to
share her unique approach to better teaching and learning across the state. Her belief
in Christa McAuliffe’s “Reach for the Stars”
mantra will serve her well in expanding her
own successes to others.
Alexander J. Blastos
Distinguished Service Award
The New Hampshire Association of School
Business Officials has chosen to recognize
Michael Trojano upon his retirement for his
many years of service as a successful business
administrator in Henniker, Milford and Sunapee school districts. Since the beginning of
his career, Trojano has been an active member
of the N.H. Association of School Business
Officials, serving on the executive board and
on a variety of committees in the organization.
He also served on the New Hampshire School
Health Care Coalition for 10 years prior to his
retirement. He is well deserving of the Alexander J. Blastos Distinguished Service Award.
Susan Janosz
Technology Impact Award
The New Hampshire Society of Technology in Education has selected William Carozza
as the recipient of its Susan Janosz Technology Impact Award for 2015. Carozza was
a classroom teacher at the elementary and
secondary levels for 13 years before becoming
an elementary school principal 17 years ago.
Since 2000, he has been the principal of the
Harold Martin School in Hopkinton. He also
has served as an adjunct faculty member of
the University of New Hampshire and New
England College. Carozza is past president of
the New Hampshire Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development, and during
his term, the organiza­tion won the 2013 ASCD
Affiliate Excellence Award. He has also served
as president of the N.H. Council for Social
Studies and was recently appointed to serve
on the U.S. Department of Education’s NAEP
Principals’ Panel. Carozza has conducted many
workshops at regional and national conferences on integrating music within the curriculum.

Franklin City Council approves District's Open Enrollment Plan
The Franklin City Council voted to
approve the Franklin School District's
plan to become the first open enrollment
district in the state on July 1st.
At Monday's meeting, the council
made two amendments clarifying that a
resident district must accept responsibility for any payment for a student before
enrollment at a Franklin school and that
no students in Franklin will be allowed to
attend open enrollment.
The first adjustment, which provides
financial security to the district, was met
with no opposition. But the second adjustment drew an objection from Councilor Scott Clarenbach.
“I have a difficult time believing that
we’re making an unlevel playing field
here, and we’re saying that we’ll take any
students who want to come but we will
not allow our students choice,” he said.
“We’re the first ones. We’re setting an
example by saying, ‘We want your students, we don’t want any of our students
to leave.’ ”
Franklin Mayor Ken Merrifield de-
fended the change, stating that it is a way
of protecting its school district.
Newport Chamber officers; Director Mike Smith, VP Jan McMahon and Director and Past
President Steve Smith manned the beer tent during the 2nd Annual Brewfest, as part of
the Annual Chamber Day on the Common last Saturday.

Acquisition of New London's 1941 school building resurfaces
Not long ago, New London voters
rejected a proposal to acquire the 1941
school building and renovate it into a
community center. Recently the Planning
Board's Capital Improvements Plan subcommittee sent a memo to the selectmen
unanimously urging the Board to take
steps to reacquire the facility.
In part, the memo reads, "Based on
the comprehensive tours of town facilities
and identifying the critical needs for both
municipal and community users and
combined with a lack of other available
and cost effective sites, the subcommittee
recommends to the New London Board
of Selectmen that they enter into negotiations immediately to reacquire the 1941
building and site." The memo continues,
"Future development and growth including what to do with the police department
and recreation department and whether
or not the building would be torn down
or renovated could be decided after the
site was acquired.
The memo cites the fact that when
other school buildings are no longer used
they are reverted to the towns they are
located in for $1, but beginning the nego-
tiations is the first step.
It is estimated that it would cost
$250,000 to tear the building down and
several million to renovate it.

Area churches join in a vigil for victims in South Carolina
Reverend Eric Jackson, Pastor of Smith
Memorial Congregation Church in Hillsborough, organized a Sunday vigil for the nine
victims of a deadly shooting in Charleston,
South Carolina.
The town-wide prayer vigil was held at
Butler Park in the center of town at 2 p.m.
Sunday. Community members gathered and
prayed for the nine people that were shot
and killed during a bible study at Emanuel
African Methodist Episcopal Church. Dylann Roof is charged with nine counts
of murder in the death of the parishioners.
Parishioners from several local churches
joined the vigil, including Smith Memorial Congregational Church, Hillsborough
United Methodist Church, Washington
Congregational Church and the Deering
Congregational Church. On the same day in Charleston, Emanuel
African Methodist Episcopal Church held
its first Sunday service since a gunman shot
and killed eight parishioners and church’s
head pastor Rev. Clementa Pinckney.
The interim pastor for the historic black
church says funeral services for most of the
victims will be held later this week.
The Rev. Norvel Goff also confirmed
that funeral services for Pinckney will be
held Friday.
Henniker truck fire on Rt 202
Part of Route 202 in Henniker was
closed Monday night while firefighters
worked to extinguish a truck fire. Police
said a Toyota pickup truck was involved in
a single vehicle crash. The driver was not
hurt and was able to escape. Police said the
fire was caused by combustibles in the back
of the truck. Members of several area churches gathered at Butler Park on Sunday for a vigil for the South
Carolina victims.
