Levine has served in New London for the past 10 years. In her letter of resignation, she wrote “New London has meant the world to me and I owe a debt of gratitude to everyone I worked with over the years. The Selectmen were unanimous in their good wishes for Levine’s future. Chair Tina Helm said “in the two and a half years that I have worked closely with Jessie, she has been an amazing mentor and teacher to me. I wish her all the best.” Peter Bianchi, who came onto the Board of Selectmen in 2010, said “I have a great deal of respect for the work, dedication and professionalism that Jessie has brought to the Town of New London. I wish her only the best in her future Antrim amendments pulled from warrant The Antrim Planning Board has removed eight proposed zoning amendments from the warrant for voter consideration because of a procedural error. The Planning Board action was in response to claims that the zoning ordinance amendments were “illegal.” The amendments, which voters had expected to vote on, include a definition of a wind-energy facility, adding principal permitted use for a wind energy facility in the Highway Business and Rural Conservation Districts, permitting personal wireless service facilities or cell towers in all districts and adding excavation sites as principal permitted uses in the Highway Business and Rural Districts. According to Town Planner Peter Moore, there was insufficient information in the required notifications which were published. Other procedural errors were cited in the letter, but Moore said the notification was the main issue that caused the amendment to be removed from this year’s ballot. Lawyer Michael Donovan, who represents residents Richard and Loranne Block, sent the town a separate letter citing these issues, as well as not having enough time between hearings and not providing information to the public in a timely fashion. PUBLIC NOTICE A SUPERVISORS SESSION WILL BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 26, 2011 WINDSOR TOWN HALL, 14 WHITE POND RD., WINDSOR, NH 03244 BETWEEN 11 AM AND 11:30 AM FOR THE PURPOSE OF CORRECTION/ADDITION TO THE OFFICIAL VOTER ELECTION CHECKLIST CHANGE IN PARTY REGISTRATION WILL BE ACCEPTED. PER RSA 654:33; 669:5 endeavors.” Mark Kaplan said “as Jessie moves forward, we wish her the best in her professional development and I hope that we do not lose contact.” The board plans to define a search process for her replacement at its next meeting. WikiLeaks raid in Hancock FBI agents seized several computers at a Hancock residence in late January as part of a nationwide investigation of online attacks against major companies in the wake of the WikiLeaks controversy. Hancock Police Chief Andrew Wood said on Thursday that he and two Hancock officers assisted several FBI agents with the execution of a search warrant at the residence where multiple computers were seized. Abolish water & sewer dept? A petitioned warrant article caused the most debate at Sunapee’s deliberative session. Cindy Currier organized and submitted an article proposing that the existing water and sewer commission be abolished, the water and sewer department be placed under the Board of Selectmen and the town manager, and an advisory water and sewer board be created. Selectman Steve White said there would be considerable savings for the town through the sharing of equipment and personnel, but Chairman Fred Gallup cautioned “It’s not broke, let’s not try to fIx it.” A verbal vote showed a lack of support for the article, which requires a three-fifths majority for approval.

To be listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, each man had to stand in line for up to two hours while they signed in before two official observers, were photographed, and filmed before a panel of mustache judges. Steve Smith, general manager of WCNL Radio, who coordinated the event with the Newport Recreation Department, was overwhelmed with the response. The mustache competition was just one of several events in the 95th Newport Winter Carnival, including skijoring, a “strongman competition” for men and women, ice skating on the common, and many other family events like ski jumping and skating. ON THE COVER: THE it may not be a world record but this snowman on brook road in goshen is worth considering. “Your Local Weekly Since 1868 FREE � OUR 143rd YEAR � � A Tradition Worth Keeping” ISSUE 7 � FEBRUARY 18, 2011 PAID PRSRT STD US Postage New London Administrator Resigns - Page 2 Newport Sets Guinness World Record - Page 3 No Charges in Newport Fatal - Page 17 X •SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE •SENSATIONAL COLORS •SENSIBLE PRICE New London • 526-2800 • OPEN DAILY www.clarkeshardware.com Page 4 | The Messenger | february 18, 2011 | www.graniTequill.coM Publisher’s Perspective Hillsboro-Deering Taxpayers have been given a bad rap for supposedly failing to adequately fund their schools. This, despite the fact that H-D school budgets have INCREASED by approximately $500,000 each year for the last several years and this year by almost $800,000. While attending the John Stark Deliberative Session last Wednesday, I learned that H-D spends more per pupil on education than any other district in the area. Here is the spending per pupil for area schools. Hillsboro-Deering.........................$12,967 Kearsarge Regional.......................$12,830 John Stark Regional.....................$12,102 ConVal Regional...........................$11,850 Although H-D consistently spends more per student than our neighbors, our students are ranked at the bottom of any comparisons. H-D schools have failed to achieve Adequate Yearly Progress in Math and Reading for the last several years. Hillsboro-Deering proves the old adage that you can’t solve our education crisis by throwing more money at it. The Federal Government and State of New Hampshire have a program that Schools In Need of Improvement, like H-D, qualify for. It provides the following alternatives for underperforming schools to turn things around. TURNAROUND MODEL: Replace the principal, screen existing school staff, and rehire no more than half the teachers; adopt by Leigh Bosse a new governance structure; and improve the school through curriculum reform, professional development, extending learning time, and other strategies. RESTART MODEL: Convert the school or close it and re-open it as a charter school or under an education management organization. SCHOOL CLOSURE: Close the school and send the students to higher-achieving schools in the district. TRANSFORMATION MODEL: Replace the principal and improve the school through comprehensive curriculum reform, professional development, extending learning time, and other strategies. These alternatives may be drastic, but it is now time to demand accountability from our teachers and administrators. Superintendent Genovese and Principals Tremblay and McAloon are new to the district so we need to give them this year to demonstrate improvement. Failing that, changes need to be made. Teachers and Administrators deemed to be “Outstanding” need to be retained and rewarded. Those deemed “satisfactory” need to be given a warning that improvement is needed or they will be let go. Those ranked “less than satisfactory” need to be told their contracts will not be renewed. Satisfactory is not satisfactory. It’s time to demand excellence. Our children deserve no less. OPINION letters to the editor Dear Editor: The InCasts and RBA (ecumenical junior and senior high youth groups at Smith Congregational Church) would like to thank everyone who made our “Superbowl Subs and More” fundraiser such a big success. A huge thank you goes to Kiki Mauridis (and staff) at Hillsboro House of Pizza - for the fifth year in a row, they helped us make their truly delicious subs right there and charged us an unbelievably low price for the ingredients, which allowed us to make once more a recordbreaking total ($1704) this year. We thank them for their continuing generosity to the community (please patronize Hillsboro House of Pizza and let them know how much we all appreciate them!). Many thanks also go to Fantini Baking Company, Carmel Produce, and Costas Provisions of Boston for providing rolls, produce, and meat for the subs, Shaw’s Supermarket for the containers for bean OPINION Continued on page 5 www.graniTequill.coM | february 18, 2011 | The Messenger | Page 5 Hillsborough accident brings felony charges The Hillsborough Police recently filed charges against Stephan Nagle for Felony Driving Under the Influence. Investigation and blood test results have indicated that Nagle’s blood alcohol level was above the legal limit at the time of a January 19th accident on Route 9. At that time, Hillsborough Police and Fire Departments were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident on Rte 9 where a 2010 Infinity SE, operated by Nagle, crossed the center line and struck a 2006 Dodge pick up truck head on. Nagle, of Hingham, MA, was transported to the hospital with serious injuries. His 10-year-old daughter was transported to the hospital with severe injuries. Dana Elliott of Pittsfield, operator of the truck, was transported to the hospital with minor injuries. All three had to be extricated from the vehicles as both vehicles were very heavily damaged. OPINION Continued from page 4 dip and chili, Guy Pelletier at Pat’s Peak for the fantastic chili, and Lisa Moore for the delicious bean dip. Thank you too to our local newspapers for the great publicity they gave our superbowl subs fundraiser – both the Villager and Messenger ran our article two weeks in a row. We especially appreciate the Messenger also printing our order form in its entirety. And finally, the youth groups would like to thank all of you who bought subs, chili, and bean dip (and were so generous with tips to our delivery people). Nagle was released on 10,000 dollars personal recognizance bail with a March 10th court date in the Henniker District Court. The Hillsboro Police Department was assisted by members of both the Antrim and Henniker Police Departments. Christa Salamy (l) presents Ben Pratt (r) with the Antrim Chamber of Commerce’s 2010 Citizen of the Year Award for his longtime service to the town. Antrim Chamber honors Ben Pratt The Antrim Chamber of Commerce held its annual dinner at the Presbyterian Church, catered by Rick & Diane’s Restaurant and Bakery 42. Longtime town resident Ben Pratt, was honored as Citizen of the Year. In a press release, Pratt was described as a man who “can be seen walking around town quietly taking an inventory of what is going on and what perhaps needs fixing. He may be seen as a quiet, more reserved person, but his actions and commitments to our town have been exponential.” Pratt has served Antrim as water commissioner, selectman and Cemetery Trustee for more than 20 years. He currently is the town treasurer. Pratt is most proud of his work with Mathcounts, a program geared toward helping middle-school students enter into a math competition. The Antrim Chamber of Commerce has donated $200 to Mathcounts in Pratt’s honor. HERE TO HELP! PAINTING, CLEANING, SHOPPING, SHOVELING DRIVING WHAT DO YOU NEED? LESLIE Q.

Currently open seven days a week from 6am-7pm, they have movie rentals, groceries, coffee to go and a deli. New London renews trash contracts The New London Selectmen have voted unanimously to renew its two trash contracts. The town currently hauls its trash trailers to the Meredith Transfer Station, where Dan Clark picks it up and brings it to Berlin. Although the existing contract includes a 3% increase every year and includes a fuel rider, Clark has only increased the price by 3% once in the last five years and hasn’t always enforced the fuel rider. He wants to hold agreement for another five years and offered to hold the contract with one 3% increase until January 31, 2016. Androscoggin Valley Regional Refuse Disposal District, which operates the landfill, has agreed to hold the tipping fee to $48 per ton until 2018. ceiling at Whipple Hall. Levine believes she should be authorized to expend up to a certain amount of money for emergency repairs and asked the board to allow her to use her judgment in that regard. Chair Tina Helm asked what she felt was an acceptable number. Levine said that $2,500 in an emergency would be appropriate. Peter Bianchi had no problem with her spending a certain amount in an emergency situation and Mark Kaplan felt $10,000 would be a good number. Bianchi thought $3,000 would be sufficient and Helm thought $5,000 would be appropriate. After further discussion, the board approved the $3,000 figure. Fire damages Deering home A Deering couple was forced out of their house Saturday when fire broke out at about 11 p.m. According to assistant Fire Chief Chris Ladue, it appears the fire started in the attic of the 106 Mansenville Road house. Although fire damage was mostly confined to the attic, it left the house uninhabitable. The occupants got safely out on their own and are staying with relatives. It took firefighters only about 20 minutes to bring the blaze under control. Officials say the fire remains under investigation but does not appear suspicious.

The Taste of Hillsboro will be held on March 12th at the Hillsboro Deering Middle School in Hillsboro from 11 AM to 3 PM. We plan to have many of our local restaurants in attendance to give the community an opportunity to try selected items off their menu. This event will be free to attend, but you will purchase tickets at the door to try the food. Tickets will be $1 each in $10 increments. The restaurants will have tables set up in the middle school gym/cafe with different selections for you to try, but rather than using money to purchase the food everything will be priced by tickets. There will be tables in the center of the gym/cafe for you to sit, relax and socialize. T-mud and the Spuds are scheduled to play several acoustical sets during the event. At the conclusion, a portion of the proceeds will go to the local NH Scholars fund. Restaurants will be encouraged to offer coupons, specials and have menus available for their locations to be used at a later date. NH Scholars will also have raffles and door prizes to win at the event. For more information about this event, if you are interested in having a table at the event or if your business would be willing to donate an item for the raffles to help support Hillsboro’s NH Scholars, please contact either John Bramley at [email protected] or Joe Walker at [email protected].

On January 28, Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School held its first, and hopefully annual, Spelling Bee. Students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades had participated in classroom spelling bees and the top three spellers from each classroom participated in the school bee. The Bee started with 39 spellers, and after 5 rounds, were down to 4 competitors - Alexandra Buciak, Fayth Grimes, Mya Poluchov, and Tia Smith. The four girls battled it out for 7 rounds, with Fayth and Tia eventually spelling correctly to advance. It took twelve more rounds before Fayth was designated the winner by correctly spelling the word, “mandate.” Fayth will now advance to the Regional Spelling Bee sponsored by the NH Union Leader and the NH Elks.

He received the award at Sunday’s “The Leaders” banquet held at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester. “He’s probably one of the most selfless people I know,” said Carol Dozibrin, the athletic director at Winncunnet High School. “He’s handsdown been the most influential and kind person in many lives,” said Dozibrin. “He’s the true definition of volunteer, giving athletes the tools they need to succeed in sports but more importantly, in life. The 58-year-old Purmort, is not married, and has no kids of his own, but has taken in five different athletes to live with him over the years. Union Leader President and Publisher Joseph W. McQuaid called the awards ceremony “a place to honor the best of the human spirit.” Hopkinton girls take seventh straight Hopkinton boys streak ends at seven The Hopkinton Girl’s Nordic team has won the last six titles, while the boy’s team had captured the last seven D-IV championships.

Sepsis is caused by a bacterial infection that can begin anywhere in your body. Your immune system goes into overdrive, overwhelming normal processes in your blood.The result is that small blood clots form, blocking blood flow to vital organs. This can lead to organ failure. Babies, the elderly and those with weakened immune symptoms are most likely to get sepsis. But even healthy people can become deathly ill from the disease. Patients with severe sepsis have a high mortality rate, nearly 40 percent, because there is no effective treatment.A single bolus of vitamin C, injected early at the time of induction of sepsis, prevents capiillary plugging. It has also been found that a delayed bolus injection of vitamin C can reverse plugging by restoring blood flow in previously plugged capillaries. • • • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Krystexxa (pegloticase) to treat the painful condition known as gout in adults who do not respond to or who cannot tolerate conventional therapy. Gout occurs due to an excess of the bodily waste uric acid, which is eventually deposited as needle-like crystals in the joints or in soft tissue. These crystals can cause intermittent swelling, redness, heat, pain and stiffness in the joints. Gout is strongly associated with obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, and occurs more often in men, in women after menopause, and in people with kidney disease. • • • B ro u g h t t o yo u a s a p u b l i c s e r v i c e by : HENNIKER PHARMACY • (603) 428-3456 P.O.

Officer Nicolas Hodgen works with K-9 Fanto during the recent Hillsborough Police Department open house. No charges filed in Newport fatality Sullivan County Attorney Marc Hathaway’s decision not to prosecute Melinda Leno for the death of Vicki Goss is disapointing to both the victim’s father and the Newport Police Chief. Hathaway reviewed the Newport police investigation, including statements from 27 witnesses, an accident scene reconstruction, a laboratory blood analysis and a detailed post-collision inspection of the vehicle. Henrietta Hodgman, Goss’ mother, and Vicki’s son, Alex Goss, were critically injured in the crash when Goss’ Dodge Caravan, was hit on the left side by a Dodge Durango operated by Leno. Some witnesses estimated the speed of the Leno vehicle at 50 to 100 miles per hour just before the crash. Hathaway cited the police report which found that a clamp, securing an aftermarket air intake assembly installed in Leno’s Durango by her boyfriend, caused the Durango’s throttle to stick in the open position, which caused the accident. The reasoning is little consolation to Bruce Hodgman, Vicky Goss’ father, who said he just doesn’t understand how anyone could be so negligent. Newport Police Chief David Hoyt said he is disappointed by Hathaway’s decision, but “that’s what the law dictates.” 24 Hr.

The events were held in conjunction with the national Catholic Schools Week celebrated by over 45,000 schools across the United States. The week’s activities centered around the school’s theme “Growing in the Light of Christ”. This theme celebrates the recent and upcoming growth of the Academy with recent campus improvements and the building of a new multi-purpose gymnasium which includes computer and science laboratories and art and music rooms. Additionally, the theme reminds students that they are growing in their faith with their Catholic education. In many ways, Catholic Schools Week serves as a school spirit week for the Academy. Students celebrated Mass on campus with visiting priest, Fr. Jason Jalbert, Director of Vocations for the Catholic Diocese of Manchester. A special lunch was prepared and served to the faculty compliments of the Student Council. Students challenged other classes by decorating their classroom doors with various interpretations on the theme. The 5th and 6th grade were winners of this contest and were awarded a pizza party for their class. Students also participated in essay and poster contests all centered around the week’s theme. Friday’s activities culminated with a ground breaking ceremony and blessing on the construction of the new multi-purpose gymnasium and a sledding party with treats and hot chocolate.
