Half ton of spuds Newport's Towle School students aid Food Pantry An annual tradition was completed on Tuesday, December 16 as more than one hundred fifth and sixth graders emptied the school building, grabbed a bag of potatoes and hiked the half-mile down Main Street in Newport to deliver the food to the Newport NAAC Food Pantry. According to Towle staff, the Food Pantry delivery totaled just under a half ton of spuds, 980 pounds at last count. Students enjoyed the venture outside and seemed to take great pride in being able to donate the items. According to Towle Principal Phil Callanan, the venture was enthusiastically tackled by the staff and students: “it’s exciting to see the students so enthusiastic about a community project,” he said. “They dove right into the event and it was wonderful to see them stacking these food supplies for needy neighbors and travelling through the town to deliver them to the Pantry,” said Callanan. Options for Goffstown Town Hall entrance discussed The Goffstown Selectmen discussed the options for the entrance to Town Hall from Main Street: DPW submitted a design to the Board for widening the Town Hall entrance on Main Street and the costs for the project. Costs for making it a one-way entrance is also included. Option 1 is to widen the entrance to 24’ at an estimated cost of $12,272. Option 2 is to make the entrance one way at an estimated cost of $367. Acting Chairman Campasano asked Town Administrator Desruisseaux if the estimated costs were for the work to be done in-house. Desruisseaux said she presumed so since it is not a big job. Acting Chairman Campasano asked Town Administrator Desruisseaux to clarify whether the project would be handled in-house by DPW or contracted out.

This happens almost every Friday in Jessica Warkentien’s Newport Middle School science classroom. Gifford Wong, a Ph.D. candidate at Dartmouth College, comes to Newport almost every Friday to help in the classroom. He is part of a cohort of graduate fellows from Dartmouth College who were accepted for the GK-12 program, which places the graduate fellow in a middle or high school science classroom. Warkentien is in her fifth year as a cooperating teacher with the program, sharing a scientist with close to 400 students in Claremont and Newport. Last Friday, the class was getting into the nitty-gritty of Wong’s research. With help from volunteer students, Gifford demonstrated the difference in molecular weight between “regular” water and “heavier” water - the heavier molecule has more neutrons than the regular water molecule. The class learned that the heavier water molecules Wong studies are rare … roughly one in every 1,000 water molecules sports the extra neutrons. He asked the students what it would mean if he found more than the usual amount of heavier water molecules in an ice core sample, and students quickly responded that it must have been warmer than usual because it takes more energy (“warmth”) to evaporate a heavier water molecule than a regular one. Students participated in several hands-on demonstrations that reinforced these concepts. The class then tackled the task of plotting heavier water data Wong collected in Greenland and were quick to notice patterns reflecting seasonal change (e.g., summers versus winters) based on the amount of heavier water present. Wong has been co-teaching lessons about atoms, molecules, states of matter, density, and several other topics essential in his studies of ice Newport Middle School students Kiley Giguere and Hunter Frye try on "Big Reds," the coats used in Antartic research by Dartmouth PhD candidate researcher, Gifford Wong, in his arctic travels with the Dartmouth College Glaciology Group.

Warkentien is very appreciative of his visits: “We know he goes to really cool places, literally, and takes ice cores. Today we are going to find out some of the things he does with those cores.” Wong stated that his main objective in his work with the GK-12 Fellowship program is a personal one: to improve his ability to communicate his research. “It is essential that scientists Win a $15 Gift Cert. to Appleseeds Restaurant! Name are able to relate to students and citizens and talk with them in plain language. This has been an amazing experience,” he said. A native of California, Wong studied at the University of California at Berkeley and earned an Honours Degree at the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia. He has traveled extensively, with research taking him to Alaska, Greenland, and Antarctica. “We are really, really lucky to be a part of this program,” said Warkentien. “It is so important that students understand the scientific method in a very real way and to take the mystery out of being a scientist. Anyone can be a scientist. Having students interact with a scientist on a weekly basis helps them see that scientists are real people, and that a career in science could be a pretty amazing one!” she said.

Newport School Board's $300,000 in cuts Newport’s School Board is going back to the drawing board to cut an additional $300,000.00 from their proposed budget. The board presented a budget to the public last night that had over $300,000 as revenue from tuition added for students expected from Goshen next year. Newport residents Bert Spaulding Sr. and Todd Fratzel raised concerned about Goshen voters passing the warrant article for their students to go to Newport schools. The budget was prepared with expectations of additional students as well as tuition. A $300,000 budget cut represents a loss of 7-8 teachers to Newport. www.granitequill.com | december 26, 2014 | The Messenger | Page 7 Goffstown and New Boston men arrested, another escapes Merrimack Police have arrested three of the four suspects discovered inside Majestic Motors at 734 D.W. Hwy. shortly before 4:00AM on Tuesday December 16, 2014. Officers had been on heightened alert after a series of thefts which included a 1955 Dodge Power Wagon pickup truck which was taken from the business on December 01, 2014. Officers found a Chevrolet Pickup registered to Ives outside the fenced in yard of Majestic Motors and observed tools and motor vehicle parts within the bed of the truck. Police began patrolling the area and discovered four men with flashlights inside the main office of Majestic Motors. The suspects were observed gathering tools from within the office. The suspects observed the officers approaching them and began to flee the area. A foot pursuit ensued and two of the suspects were taken into custody a short distance away. A third escaped on foot but was later arrested at the Merrimack Police Department. Arrested were Tobin Perry, 21, of Goffstown, John Ives, 21, of New Boston, and Dylan Ramos, 18, of Manchester. Police have issued an arrest warrant for felony theft and burglary for 19 year old Richard Nocella of Goffstown, NH, who was also part of the group who were found inside the building, but managed to elude apprehension at the time. Merrimack Police conducted extensive interviews which led to the discovery of the 1955 Dodge truck in a garage in Dunbarton, NH and with the assistance of the Dunbarton Police, were able to recover the pickup along with many other stolen auto parts.

Janelle Westfall of Bridgewater had been asking for a jury trial. The suit alleged the town and the chief violated Janelle Westfall’s constitutional rights to due process and equal protection and claimed intentional infliction of emotional distress and abuse of process. Westfall was 18 when she was arrested March 3, 2013 by Seastrand as she walked along a road in New London after a party. Those charges were eventually dropped. The Attorney General’s Office conducted an investigation, which ended when Seastrand agreed to resign on April 4, 2013, 26 days before he was planning to retire after 27 years with the department - the last 18 as chief. Three other women filed complaints about Seastrand. But at the end of December 2013, after those allegations were investigated, the Attorney General’s Office said it would not pursue criminal charges. Westfall decided not to return to Colby-Sawyer. The $70,000 payment has been made by the town’s insurance agent, PropertyLiability Trust. According to Town Administrator Kim- berly A. Hallquist, of the $70,000, a total of $7,500 was paid “on behalf of the town of New London” and $62,500 on behalf of Seastrand.

Loons can require close to a quarter mile of open water to take flight, but this loon was trapped in a 3-foot patch of open water. LPC Senior Biologist John Cooley carefully edged a small Jon-boat across the ice toward the loon until he was close enough to capture it with a landing net. Once they were both safely back on shore, Cooley transported the loon to Meadow Pond Animal Hospital in Moultonborough for an x-ray which revealed fragments of non-lead fishing tackle in the loon’s stomach. However, an in-house blood test showed the loon had an elevated blood lead concentration that was below the threshold for lethal toxicity, indicating that the loon had apparently passed a lead object before it could receive a lethal dose of lead. Although LPC has documented a few cases in which a loon has likely passed a lead object, this is a very unusual circumstance, as one of the toxic effects of lead poisoning is to shut down a loon’s digestive system. Unless the lead tackle is passed almost immediately, as apparently occurred in LPC staff and volunteers employ a Jon-boat on thin ice during another recent rescue attempt. Photo courtesy of Kristen Laine. this case, even the smallest lead sinker or lead-headed jig will kill a loon in two to four weeks. Given that this loon’s lead levels were sub-lethal, it was decided to transfer it to wildlife rehabilitators in Maine and attempt treatment. Later that afternoon the loon was swimming in one of their pools and, by the following day, it was eating on its own. The fish being fed to the loon were dosed with a special medication to help absorb lead from its bloodstream. This unusual treatment was possible since the loon apparently passed the lead object quickly before receiving a lethal dose of lead, but the sub-lethal effects of lead poisoning likely impaired its ability to leave the pond prior to ice-in. As of December 18, the loon is continuing to do well and will hopefully be released very soon. This loon was banded as an adult in 2000 on Martin Meadow Pond and has fledged an average of one chick per year since then. Given that loons usually start breeding at 6 or 7 years old, this male is probably at least 20 years old!

Leadbeater stated that a vendor, who brews his own beer, approached the Farmer’s Market about selling beer. She stated the Farmer’s Market is hoping to draw more people in. Selectman Strickford was not in favor of this proposal as the Farmer’s Market is locals selling local product to other locals; beer seems out of place. It was noted that other farmer’s markets allow wine and beer. Selectman Langwasser stated he is not in favor of selling beer at the Town Hall; there are enough places in town to get beer. Selectman Traum stated he sees pros and cons to both sides; however, he is in favor of the proposal. Selectman Persechino stated she is highly in favor of the proposal as a way to diversify the vendors that are at the market. She also stated she trusted those at the Farmer’s Market to manage the market. Chairman O’Brien stated he also has no problem with the proposal, and is in favor of allowing the Farmer’s Market to sell beer. The Board approved on a 3-2 vote.

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 NH Homes & Home Improvement A Guide for NH Home Owners & Home Seekers Publisher’s Perspective by Leigh Bosse Sit down and take a deep breath before reading this The key to a good education is a good classroom teacher. Our teachers deserve to be well compensated with good benefits and treated with the respect the importance their profession deserves. They are. Unlike a decade ago, teachers are better paid than the average worker in the private sector. Their health benefits, sick and vacation day packages are better than most in the private sector, and their pension plan is unmatched by the average worker. That is all well and good, but did you know that the District's contract with H-D teachers provides that any teacher with 20 years of service (even someone as young as 42-45-years old) can give notice of retirement in December and have until April to change his or her mind? During that time, teachers may look for a better job, and if none is found, non-retire, all the while the district is left not knowing its future staffing requirements. But, and wait until you read this, if that teacher does retire, he or she is paid a Re- tirement Bonus of between $20,000 and $50,000, depending on length of service and unused benefit. And, that a 42 year old can retire from Hillsboro-Deering, collect the bonus and teach in another district. Did you know that? I did not. Shame on us, except that the provision was NEVER explained to voters who were asked to ratify that contract. I have attended every public hearing and deliberative session dealing with teacher contracts for over 30 years. I don't know when that provision was first included, but I do know it was never explained to voters. This provision, along with the Evergreen Clause, providing increased teacher compensation even when their contract has expired, is an affront to common sense and slap in the face to taxpayers. What are School Board members thinking by allowing this travesty to continue? Voters should send a clear message to the Board and the teacher's union, that no future contracts will be approved if these unconscionable provisions remain. Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: The Kimball Cabin Property Study Committee would like to thank the NH Preservation Alliance for selecting Kimball Cabins as one of the "Seven To Save" properties. We would also like to thank those that supported the project by writing letters of support. We would like to give thanks to the numerous volunteers who have helped and donated materials. This effort would not have been possible without the generous monetary support from our community. As tax-deductible contributions come in, volunteers can continue the work to make the larger cabin safe and usable for numerous school and community events. Please stop by the Kimball Cabins to see the work completed on the porch of the large cabin by a dedicated group of volunteers. If you would like to support the restoration of the Kimball Cabins donations can be sent to the Town of Hopkinton, 330 Main Street. Please put Kimball Cabins in the memo line.

Why you should use a travel agent: We had a lively debate recently on the merits of whether to use a live travel agent to book your vacation or to go it alone by using the Internet. Here are some of the reasons to consider a personal travel consultant. 1. You’ve Googled “Mexico vacation,” and come up with 17.8 million responses. Need a little help editing those choices? 2. Remember when you used that obscure website to book your hotel, and when you got there you spent your beach vacation overlooking a parking lot? 3. How many hours were you on hold with the airline when your flight was canceled because of a snowstorm? 4. Did you really mean to spend your honeymoon at that resort whose one tiny pool was filled all day with 12 screaming children? 5. Who knew that when you booked that “villa” in Tuscany, it would be a small room with a kitchenette and no air conditioning? Funny, it looked much better on your computer screen. 6. No one explained to you that in July, it’s winter time in Rio, and so you showed up there with nothing but five Hawaiian shirts and three pairs of swimming trunks. 7. How about the time you really needed a restful vacation, and you ended up in New Orleans during Mardi Gras and someone threw up on your shoes? 8. Yes, I guess that hotel must have used a telephoto lens when they took a picture of those guest rooms that you saw on their website. 9. I suppose contacting the Attorney General to resolve the fact that that Internet site has billed your credit card three times instead of once is the only route to take at this point. 10. It was definitely odd that there were no cab drivers at the air- port at 3 o’clock in the morning when you finally landed in Costa Rica, but booking a transfer to your very remote hotel would have been a good thing to remember when you purchased your airline ticket and hotel online.

Schoolhouse by Alchemists' Film Workshop with a cast of 20 young people and adults from the area. The film has won awards from Sodexo, Youth Serves America and the Points of Light Foundation. Special thanks to Martha Taylor for helping the young actors learn about the history of one room schoolhouses in Henniker and to Lorraine and Leo Aucoin for their upkeep of the Schoolhouse and allowing us to film on site. (The film's director, Bob Robertson of Dartmouth called it "a perfect setting for the film--a Hollywood designer could not have made such a detailed and authentic set!") Actors both onscreen and off of all ages from 6 to 106 needed for the Alchemists' Film Workshop's next film project. We'll be researching and developing the script and characters this winter for an early Spring shoot. Very flexible schedule and a wide variety of authentic Henniker "types" needed.

Chair Aaron Gill asked Police Chief Pushee if he had notified the TA after the accident to which he responded that he did. Gill then asked the same of Road Agent Beard to which he answered in the affirmative. Finally Gill posed the same question to Fire Chief Tramontozzi because of the recent mishap with the ambulance where it struck a building overhang on Friday, November 14th, which went unreported until Monday, November 17th. The Chief noted that the accident occurred on November 14th, but that it was reported by the driver, Chris Elliot, Monday November 17th. Also in the ambulance at the time of the accident were Chief Tramontozzi and EMT Sarah Klumb. The Town Administrator explained that he received notification on Monday from Carrie Smith while he was in Kinshasa and that he provided notification to the Board from there. Gill reminded Chief Tramontozzi that the Board had directed him to report all fire incidents and accidents to the Town Administrator. Gill reminded Chief Tramontozzi that no notification was provided when a gas explosion occurred on the Johnson property back in late August, nor was a report made when the Fire Department was unable to provide medical care at a scene because of the lack of police coverage in early August. The Board has directed Chief Tramontozzi on numerous occasions over the past year to report significant incidents to the TA and Gill again directed Chief Tramontozzi to comply with the Board’s directive. Selectmen Belouin and Fife concurred with the directive. The Masons of St. Peter's Lodge in Bradford recently hosted a Spaghetti Dinner to replenish funds for it's Charlie Marston Scholarship.
