Newbury man dies, another injured
A Newbury man was killed and another seriously injured
Friday night when a car hit the two while cycling on Route 103.
Robert Saturley, 64, suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced
dead at the scene. Michael Feeney, 63, also of Newbury, suffered life threatening injuries and remains in critical condition at
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Feeney is a Sullivan County
probate court judge. The two cyclists were headed east on Route
103 near North Peak Village in Newbury when they were hit by
Charles Crosbie, 86, of Bedford, who was also traveling east. The
accident remains under investigation.

A Henniker man was injured Saturday morning when his ATV
crashed into a drainage ditch. According to Fish and Game officials, it appears speed may have been a factor. William McKean,
40, was riding near the Kelsey Notch lookout trail when he went
off the trail at a curve, striking a boulder and landing in a drainage ditch. McKean was treated at the scene, before being taken to
Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin with serious but non-life
threatening injuries to his chest, back and lower leg.
Two injured in Weare rear-ender
Two drivers were injured in an accident on Route 114 Saturday
morning. Police reports indicate that Roy Blanchette, 78, of Weare,
rear-ended a car driven by Molly Bums, 18, also of Weare as she
was attempting to turn into Dimitri's plaza about 10:30 a.m. According to Officer Brandon Montplaisir, both drivers were taken to
Concord Hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening.

Newport graduates told to explore, dream, discover
The historic Newport Opera House has
hosted many a sold out performance and
it was no exception for the Newport High
School Graduation. The class of 89 seniors,
forced inside by threatening skies, lost none
of their spirit during the impressive ceremony. The Peer Pride Award, to outstanding underclassmen was presented to Leanne
Rubchinuk and Zeb Swenson.
Class President Nicholas Sullivan urged
his classmates to "Never take a minute of
life for granted," and quoting Mark Twain
told them to "Explore, Dream, Discover."
Class Essayist Emily DiPadova struck a
similar theme, "Go confidently in the path
you chose. Live the life you have imagined,"
she said.
Valedictorian Malia King reminded her
classmates "Winning is not a sometime
thing. Winning is an all-time thing. Winning
is a habit."
Salutatorian Joseph Tremblay took a
lighter tone, telling the audience about the
many friendships he made at the school,
and how you distinguish a friend from a best
friend. A friend, he said, "will bail you out
of jail, while your best friend, sitting beside
you, will say, Damn that was fun." It would
seem that Newport's Class of 2011 received a
quality education and had fun doing it.

Newport High School's graduation was
forced

Public meeting set on Antrim wind project
The Antrim Planning Board has created
a task force to develop regulations and
ordinances for utility-scale wind projects in
Antrim. This Ad Hoc Committee has been
meeting weekly since early May and has
invited the public to a meeting on Wednesday, June 22, 7 p.m. at the Antrim Town
Hall to share information, concerns and
suggestions. Local input is needed while
the ordinances and regulations are being
drafted. The goal of the input sessions is
to have residents share data, research and
concerns that can be used as a guide to the
committee's work.

At the annual Community Awards Night at Antrim Grange the Agriculturalist
Award was given to the Kendall Family of Over East Farm for establishing the
Antrim Farmer's Market at Place in the Woods.
New London names Town Administrator
At their last meeting, the New London Selectmen welcomed
Kim Hallquist, the candidate who was chosen to fill the vacant
position of Town Administrator. Hallquist was one of 87 applicants
for the position and it was determined that she was the best. Chair
Mark Kaplan indicated that she had met with the administrative
team and the department heads and was anxious to get started. She
will begin officially on June 20.
Hallquist currently works for Local Government Center as a staff
attorney. Prior to that, she was the Town of Carroll’s administrative
assistant. She indicated that she enjoys municipal work and said she
was looking forward to working with citizens again.
New Principal at Newport Middle/High
• “PURECOMFORT” Heating Oil
and PREMIUM PROPANE Delivery
Newport Middle/High School has a new principal. Mark Christensen, the assistant principal at Winnisquam Regional High School
in Meredith was approved for the position by the School Board at its
last meeting.
The 40-year-old father of three boys will replace Barry Connell. At Winnisquam, Christensen was the English Department's
curriculum director, the summer credit director, and assistant principal, which put him in charge of the school's disciplinary policies.
Christensen administered a unique behavioral program that allowed
students to provide community service in lieu of in-school suspensions. A New London resident, he grew up in Amherst, and graduated from Milford High School. He formerly served as director of
career and technical education at Plymouth Regional High School,
taught at Nashua South High School and been an adjunct professor at Hesser College. He also worked with the state's community
college system in both Manchester and Nashua, and served on the
Kearsarge Regional School District Board.
He holds a Doctorate in educational leadership from Plymouth
State University/Argosy University in Sarasota, Fla.; a C.A.G.S.,
also from Plymouth State; a master's degree in business administration from Rivier College, and a bachelor's degree from Notre
Dame College.

Hopkinton graduates told to 'Get Lost'
As the members of Hopkinton High
School's Class of 2011 entered the Durgin
Arena, they lined each side of the central
isle to "Clap In" the faculty as a sign of
respect and appreciation for their teachers. Once on the stage, Class President
John Wescott welcomed his classmates
with a challenge to reinvent themselves,
by deciding to succeed or not. Each of the
73 seniors took a moment in the ceremony
to thank those who helped and supported
them.
Kate Sintros, a social studies teacher
and class advisor gave the graduates
four must-dos for the rest of their lives:
Broaden your horizons; become an informed and active citizen; find something
you love and a way to get paid for it; and
stand up for what's right, "even if it means
standing alone."
Valedictorian Chloe Bohlman told how
she learned about responsibility from her
horse, which was plagued by constant
injury, while Salutatorian Rebecca MacK-
enzie quoted Robert Frost's line about
two roads diverging in a yellow wood but
felt that her life feels more like a series of
rotaries and stop lights. Either way, straying off course, she told her classmates, is
not always a bad thing. "Get a little lost on
the way," she said. "It will bring you where
you need to be."
To close the ceremony, the faculty
lined the central aisle to "Clap Out" their
charges as they begin a new phase in their
lives.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved the vaccine
Gardasil for the prevention of anal cancer and associated precancerous
lesions due to human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16, and 18 in
people ages 9 through 26 years. Gardasil already is approved for the
same age population for the prevention of cervical, vulvar, and vaginal
cancer and the associated precancerous lesions caused by HPV types
6, 11, 16, and 18 in females. It is also approved for the prevention of
genital warts caused by types 6 and 11 in both males and females.

Patients with diabetes, kidney disease and anemia who don’t respond
to treatment with the anti-anemia drug darbepoetin alpha, sold under
the name Aranesp, have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease or
death, according to a study which appeared in the New England
Journal of Medicine. The study showed that darbepoetin alpha works
no better than a placebo for improving cardiovascular and kidney outcomes, but it did lower the risk for blood transfusion and resulted in
modest improvement in patient-reported outcomes among people
with diabetes, kidney disease and anemia. However, people receiving
darbepoetin alpha had nearly a twofold higher risk for stroke. Cancer
deaths were also higher among people receiving the drug.

While covering the Memorial Day program in Warner on May
30, 2011, I discovered that a visitor, a mother snapping turtle was
calmly going about her business of laying eggs in a field adjacent to
the Ela Bridge at the Warner River. The tossing of a wreath into the
river was the culmination of the program coupled with a volley from
the Post 39 firing squad. Even the noise from the firing squad did
not deter her as she went about her task of depositing her eggs in
the sandy soil near the river. Once she was discovered, a crowd gathered as the Memorial Day festivities had drawn to a close and the
participants were returning to the Legion Post on Kearsarge Street
Extension. I hope that “mother turtle” was successful in her efforts
and that she will be a good mother to the babies after they’re born.
Three finalists vie for Weare Principal
The Weare School Board recently hosted the three finalists for a
public meet-and-greet before offering one of them the job of principal of Center Woods Elementary School. The candidates were asked
to make a statement of introduction and then answered questions
from the audience and the School Board. Stacy Maghakian works in
the Litchfield School District. Her goal is to enhance school culture
and hopes to introduce a character education program at the school.
Jessica Potter, is the current assistant principal at Weare Middle
School and has been in the Weare School District as a student,
teacher and administrator for 22 years. Jeffrey Drouin is the current
assistant principal of Barnstead Elementary School. His goal is to
"provide the highest level of education in a safe and respectful environment" A decision is expected soon.
Hopkinton has a new Recreation Director
The Hopkinton Selectmen have announced the appointment of
Jessica Bailey as the town's new Recreation Director. Bailey knew
what she wanted to do while growing up watching her mother run
youth centers on Air Force bases.
Bailey graduated from UNH and holds a bachelor's degree in
recreation management and policy with a minor in business administration. She has worked in recreation for nearly 12 years, and
was the recreation director in New Durham. Bailey was one of 52
candidates for the position. From that the applicants were narrowed
down to 10 candidates, and the committee interviewed five of the 10
candidates and recommended three to the Selectmen.

Sgt. Russell Durgin - gone but not forgotten
The cold damp weather failed to deter
residents of Henniker and surrounding
towns from honoring the memory of a
fallen hero. On June 13th 2006 Sgt Russell
Durgin gave the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan. 5 years later family and friends
gathered together to remember and honor
not only their home-town hero but also to
celebrate the life of the boy with the smile
on his face.
The day began with an 8:00 a.m. Mass
at St. Theresa's Church followed by a
procession, led by members of the Patriot
Guard, to Durgin's grave, where his mother
lay fresh flowers as bagpipes played.
After a few words of thanks from his
mother Jean, and reflections by Susan
Peterson of the NH Blue Star Mothers, the
procession resumed through downtown
Henniker, pausing to place a wreath at
the Sgt. Russell Durgin Memorial Bridge
on Route 114. The group then gathered
at Russ's home to share memories and
refreshments.
Bennington has the power
Police Chief Steve Campbell reports
that Bennington has received two generators. Campbell, who also serves as the
town's Emergency Services Director, said
that the town has installed a permanent
generator at the Town Hall and has also
received a portable generator, which will
be helpful for the Fire Department during
winter calls when its equipment may freeze
up after a power loss.

SAU 43 Superintendent search continues
Kenneth DeBenedictis of the New England School Development
Council, the consultant hired to assist the SAU #43 board in hiring
a new Superintendent of Schools recently met with eight members
of the Newport business community who suggested talents and
characteristics the new Superintendent should have. Innovation
and the ability to be an agent of change topped the list, receiving
33 votes. Others included communication with 24, experience with
21 and personal with 14 votes. DeBenedictis led other focus groups
with staff and faculty from Newport and Croydon schools and held
an evening public session. He will then compile the results into one
list for the eight-member SAU 43 School Board to consider in the
process of hiring the new superintendent, who is expected to come
on board by June or July of 2012. Kathy Hubert, one of the business
leaders, made it clear what she was looking for. "We're waiting for
superman or superwoman,"she said.
No rush to hire Antrim's Town Planner
Charles Levesque and Jesse Lazar from the Antrim Planning
Board met with the selectmen to again request that the vacant
Town Planner position be filled quickly. Levesque said the board
needed staff help to do the research needed in drafting a new ordinance on wind farms. Chair Mike Genest said that, assuming SEC
takes jurisdiction over the current met tower application, the town
could hold off hiring a planner by using the Southwest Regional
Planning Commission for assistance. The board also plans to
increase the Planning Assistant's hours and hire clerical help to free
up more of her time for planning functions.
Two girls hurt in Warner ATV accident
According to the NH Fish and Game officers, two teenage girls
were injured in an ATV accident in Warner. Officials say 16-yearold Kelsey Ruff was operating the ATV on Sunday when she lost
control and rolled over. She and her passenger, 17-year-old Sara
Cobb, were both taken to Concord Hospital and treated for injuries
that were not life-threatening. It appears that speed was a factor
and neither girl was wearing a helmet. State law requires all riders
under the age of 18 to wear helmets and eye protection. Operators
under 18 also cannot carry passengers on an ATV due to increased
vehicle instability.

Area educators join the best of the best
The 18th annual NH Excellence In Education Awards (EDies) Ceremony was held
recently at The Center of NH Radison Hotel in
Manchester. Area educators receiving honors
included:
Chester Bowles, Region 14 Applied
Technology Center in Peterborough who was
chosen as this year's Career and Technical
Director of the Year.
Bowles stated that the success of the Center comes from the enthusiasm of the students,
the efforts of the teachers and the continued
support of the community and that he is a
mere catalyst that helps bring these groups
together for the benefit of all.
Corrine Lajoie, Hopkinton Middle/High
School who was selected as the 2011 NH
Middle School Counselor of the Year. Lajoie
has served as Hopkinton's Middle School
Guidance Counselor since 2001. Her "formal"
responsibilities are for students in grades
seven through nine, but Lajoie enjoys helping
sixth-graders transition to the middle school
and assisting the eighth-graders prepare for
high school. Her involvement continues with
Large enough to

these students as she works with all ninthgrade students.
Matthew Laramie of Kearsarge Regional
High School in North Sutton was the choice of
the N.H. Association of School Principals for
Assistant Principal of the Year. The association says their 2011 winner is a man who cares
deeply about all of the people he encounters.

Bureau of Emergency
Communications
E 9-1-1 Mapping Division
The Bureau will be working in your town to collect all
road and addressing information starting June 15, 2011.
This will enable us to provide exact location information
to dispatch agencies should an emergency arise.
This process involves going to each structure in the town
and collecting the actual X, Y coordinates, all posted
addresses, and any new roads that we do not currently
have in our data. If addresses are not clearly posted, we
may need to verify resident or utility information. Should
the need for this arise, we will always be in a clearly
marked state vehicle and all employees have ID’s and carry
information cards with the bureau contact information.
After the collection process is complete we work closely
with the town to ensure that the information gathered is
complete and accurate. Upon acceptance by the town,
paper and digital maps are generated for the town.

Publisher’s Perspective by Leigh Bosse
Congratulations are in order. Messenger
readers are well aware of the shortcomings
of the Hillsboro-Deering School District.
Currently ranked as the fifth lowest high
school in the state, the district has now
undertaken a major effort to turn things
around and improve its status as a School In
Need Of Improvement. But, that is only part
of the story.
Recently, several events have highlighted the positive aspects of our schools and
the communities that support them.
1. The Hillsboro-Deering DECA Team
again received a 1st Place ranking in international competition, for the second year in a
row.
2. The Hillsboro-Deering Music program returned from a Cleveland festival
with 1st Place trophies in Chorus, Band and
Red White and A-Cappella
3. Three weeks ago The Messenger listed
the names of 47 H-D students who were
members of the Superintendent's Club,
which required four terms of straight A's for
membership.
4. Two weeks ago The Messenger contained a lengthy list of H-D underclassmen
who attained academic excellence in various
areas of study.
5. Last week's Messenger contains an
equally lengthy list of seniors whose academic achievement ranks with any school in
the state.
6. The same issue contains a listing of
scholarships awarded in excess of $150,000
to H-D graduates.
7. This week's Messenger lists 15 H-D
students who were named NH Scholars.
8. H-D senior Kiah Walker was recognized as a National Merit Scholar.
As in the case where things go wrong
and there is plenty of blame to go around,
in this instance, there is plenty of credit to
be given:
1st: To the students themselves, for their
God given talents and their dedication and
hard work.
2nd: To their parents, who expected
them to succeed, nurtured an atmosphere of
personal responsibility, and gave them the
love, discipline and support they needed.
3rd: To the people of Hillsborough,
Deering, Washington and Windsor who
have consistently provided one of the most
generous scholarship programs in the state.
4th: To the faculty and staff of this
school district who have aggressively challenged their students to strive for the best, to
be the best they can be and accept nothing
less than success.
As we work to improve on our weaknesses, let us take a moment to reflect on
our successes. In short, Congratulations to
us all.
Residents doubt wisdom of Bradford equipment lease
Rob Messer believes the Bradford Selectmen have made a sizeable mistake with the
equipment rental contract. Rob stated that
he has never seen a rental of equipment set
up for the summer; it is usually on an hourly
basis. If the equipment is used for 10 hours,
there is a huge amount of money used for
the rental. If for 1000 hours, then the rate is
not very much.
When the town has done large projects
in the past, these have gone out to bid to
construction companies, as recently as the
Center Road project. There are local excavators that have zero work. Putting jobs out to
bid would save the town more money.
John Mock stated that there are five
excavators here in town, a lot of them out of
work, and they all pay taxes in this town, and
the Selectmen voted to hire the Road Agents
excavator by a vote of 2 to 1. John advised he
feels the Selectmen are setting a very poor
precedent. It is not good for the town, and
not good for the tax payers, and it should not
happen.
True Then • True Today
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Bennington man to spend a year in jail
James Remillard, 20, of Bennington was sentenced to one year
in prison in Hillsborough County Superior Court on Friday, after
pleading guilty to charges of negligent homicide and vehicular
assault relating to a car crash that claimed the life of 16-year-old
Rebekah Warren of Antrim last year. Remillard was also sentenced to 3.5 to 7 years in jail on the negligent homicide charge.
That sentence was suspended, on the condition of good behavior.
Once out of jail, Remillard will face two years of probation and
have to complete 200 hours of community service. He will also
have to pay the Warren family $12,266.60 in funeral expenses,
lose his license for seven years and must complete a driver safety
course before having his license restored.
Elkins Subcommittee set to meet June 20
Interim Town Administrator Linda Hardy gave the Selectmen
a list of 15 people interested in being on the Elkins subcommittee. Nate Miller, who works with the Upper Valley Lake Sunapee
Region Planning Commission and was involved with the plans
that helped New London win the grant would like to be included.
Selectman Peter Bianchi felt someone from the Board of Selectmen should be on the committee. Tina Helm didn’t think it necessary to have representation by the Board of Selectmen, but that it
would be good for them to attend some of the meetings.
Bianchi said that the people want to get started with coming
up with ideas before October, when the money is ready and an
engineer is hired. June 20th was determined to be the date the
committee would meet.

PERSONAL
ST. JUDE’S NOVENA
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world
now and forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have
mercy on us. St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray
for us. St. Jude, help of the hopeless, pray for
us. Say this prayer 9 times a day. By the 8th day
your prayer will be answered. Say it for 9 days. It
has never been known to fail. Publication must
be promised. Thank you St. Jude LHG
----------------------------------------------------------------THANKSGIVING NOVENA TO ST. JUDE
O Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in
virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke
your special patronage in time of need, to you I
have recourse from the depth of my heart and
humbly beg to whom God has given such great
power to come to my assistance.
Help me in my present and urgent petition. In
return I promise to make your name known and
cause you to be invoked. St. Jude pray for us
and all who invoke your aid. Amen.
Say three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys and Glorias. Publication must be promised. This Novena
has never been known to fail. I have had my
request granted. Publication promised. JS
