Lake Sunapee Bank LayoffUpper management, operations, and support staff cutLake Sunapee Bank handed pink slips

to an undisclosed number of employees last week as part of a pending merger with Maine-based Bar Harbor Bank & Trust in January. LSB President and CEO Stephen Theroux said at least 25 percent of the job cuts will take place in January and the re-mainder in May.

All of the employees being impacted by the merger have been offered severance packages, as well as “robust outplacement services,” Theroux said. Due to the extended

nature of the job force reduction, the total number of cuts are not being made public, he said. “It is really hard to tell. We are not ready to go public with that number,” Theroux said.

The cuts include upper management, operations, and support staff positions while “forward facing jobs,” like bank tellers, are being retained throughout the merger. “It’s just duplicity [of positions] when the two banks come together,” Theroux said of the layoffs. He said the layoffs are expected to be permanent.

Weare man arrested for soliciting sex with a minor Donald Malette, 38, of Weare, was arrested

Tuesday and charged with felony counts of certain uses of computer services prohibited and falsifying physical evidence, for allegedly delet-ing emails of his attempts to solicit sex from a minor online.

Police charge that Malette posted a Craiglist ad looking for a mother and daughter to have an “experience” with. Local detectives were assisted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Malette is being held at the Hillsborough County jail in Manchester on $50,000 bail.

Harmony Lodge Master, Robert Burton presents Marc Payeur with the 2016 Community Builders Award as Payeur's family looks on.

Goffstown Police host Drug Take Back Day Oct 22On Saturday, October 22nd , 2016 from

10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Goffstown Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public a nationwide, one day collaborative drug take-back initiative effort to remove po-tentially dangerous controlled substances from our nation’s homes.

This national initiative will provide an opportunity for the public to surrender pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications to law enforcement of-ficers for destruction.

Bring your medications for disposal to

Goffstown Police Department at 326 Mast Rd. Goffstown NH, 03045.

No needles or liquids can be accepted. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Citizens are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.

For more information in regards to this initiative, please contact Detective Jason Ouellette at the Goffstown Police Depart-ment (603) 497-4858.

The Masons of Hillsborough's Harmony Lodge proudly presented their 2016 Com-munity Builders Award to H-D teacher/advi-sor Marc Payer of Weare. Marc defines the word "mentor."

He is heavily involved with the Boy Scouts and with the Weare Athletic Club, as Treasurer for both Pack 24 and for Troop 24, as well as a Den Leader since 2005. His old-est son has gone on to earn his Eagle Scout rank while his middle son is doing his Eagle project right now which will be completed soon. He is doing an Alphabet Trail for Cen-ter Woods Elementary in Weare. Meanwhile, he is starting all over with his youngest son, as the Den Leader for 20 boys in the new Tigers Pack 24.

Marc has coached for WAC (Weare Ath-letic Club) - mostly Soccer and Baseball, and also coached John Stark Football - at the Flag level, in addition being in his last year of T-ball. In his spare time, Marc volunteers at the local Weare Food Pantry.

As Bank Branch Manager and Assistant Vice President in 1998 Marc was invited to judge at the NH DECA State competi-tion. and something hit him that day and he found his calling. He finished out his Masters in 1999 with Business Education, and started his career in teaching at H-D.

A year later, he formed the H-D DECA chapter and started to make an impact on state DECA. In their very first year, H-D had 9 students attend the NH competition and 5 of them qualified for the International Competition in Anaheim. The chapter has grown and progressed to the point where it makes other larger schools around the state take notice. Marc is always amused when he hears a students from Nashua, Manchester, or Pinkerton wonder where Hillsboro is and why our school wins so much.

Masons present 2016 Community Builders Award to Marc PayeurHillsboro-Deering has the largest win-

ning record of any school in New Hampshire for medals at the International level. No other school in the state has come close or

having a long streak of getting on stage, since 2010, which would have been longer, but no winners in 2009. They added six more med-als this year.

ConVal joins "Manufacturing Crawl"Students from ConVal and Conant High Schools participated in

a Manufacturing "Crawl" as part of Manufacturing Week activities. Students and school counselors visited Millipore, Teleflex, and New Hampshire Ball Bearings. Students met with employees and had tours of the facilities at all three locations. These three large employers not only showed students what products they make and the process, but also listed the many jobs available in manufacturing and pay rates. Brooke Charron, Human Resources manager at NHBB, noted that 70% of their jobs require no more than a high school diploma, and they offer many benefits, including tuition reimbursement, to employ-ees who take job related courses. “Manufacturing Week highlights the need for skilled labor, and our strategic partnership ensures a pipeline of future talent while demonstrating to students career opportunities that they may not have realized existed,” said Brooke Charron. “We always enjoy hosting the students and seeing them get excited about manufacturing. Watching them get energized by the process and all that goes into it is a delight. We are very proud of what we do, and sharing that with the kids is an honor,” Charron said. Manufacturing is the leading economic industry in NH.

Newport facing a bus driver shortageNewport's Middle and High School sare being asked if they

might be interested in training to drive the district's school buses. For some time, Newport has been running its day-to-day opera-tion with a shortage of certified bus drivers. Business Administrator Terry Wiggin recently informed the school board there are 4,000 school bus routes in New Hampshire with only 3,100 drivers avail-able.Using coaches to drive buses to and from athletic contests would help ease the strain. Newport provides nearly door-to-door bus service. Wiggin stated that by law, the school district is not obli-gated to transport students who live within 1.5 miles of the school.

HCS students at environmental CampHenniker grade 7 students spent four days at Environmental

Camp at the Sargent Center Nature’s Classroom in Hancock, NH, during the week of October 11. Throughout the trip, students learned about team building, conflict resolution, peer leadership, compassion, and perseverance all while being citizen scientists. Activities included assembling a catamaran from pine poles, rope, and two canoes; a high ropes course; conducting water surveys, and exploring the night sky. During the trip, the students also learned independence as for many of them it was their first time away from home. The many facets of environmental science, communication, and collaboration that students learned while at Environmental Camp will be referenced all year back in their classrooms at HCS.

Eric Edwards attains Wastewater LicenseHillsborough Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator, Eric

Edwards, recently received his Grade I wastewater treatment plant operator license from the State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. Edwards is the most recent addition to the Hillsborough Water & Sewer Department staff, hired in August of last year. Edwards filled the vacancy created with the retirement of plant operator Mike Billings after 18 years with the commission. To achieve his Grade I license he completed the required education through NH-DES, passed the Grade I Operators' license examination and fulfilled the vital year of work experience.

Northfield Town Garage under budgetDPW Director Andy Buteau updated the Northfield Board on the

status of town garage repairs and Bay Hill Road repairs, which he expects will come in approximately $10,000 under budget. Select-man Allen informed the Board that the logging on Reservoir Road will be done this week or early next week. Andy noted that there has been minimal damage to the road. Board members also discussed the possible sale of a portion of the Town Beach property to Catherine Do-nahue. After discussion, Board members agreed to visit the property individually and revisit the issue at the next meeting.

Students collected data on water temperature and pH as well as identified various macroinvertebrates. One great find was a dobsonfly which then proceeded to eat a mayfly nymph and dragonfly nymph. After analyzing the data collected, students concluded that the wetlands ecosystem at Sargent Center was healthy.

Controversy erupts over altering of Henniker's official minutesThe Henniker Selectmen were having

a quiet, routine Board meeting until Chair Khris Blomback added an unscheduled item to the agenda. Saying he forgot to add it to his motion establishing the Road Management Committee at a prior meeting, he wanted to include a paid minute taker. He indicated he was acting in response to a letter of complaint from resident Bruce Trevolini. Tia Hooper, the Board's repre-sentative on the committee said the matter should not be discussed until it was noticed on an agenda. Three members of the com-mittee were present, Chair Mike Flecchia, Bill Marco and Cheryl Morse. Each voiced strong opposition to the proposal say-ing it cast an aspersion on them with no indication of any wrongdoing. Blomback said their reluctance "raised red flags" and member Ben Fortner said there had been many problems with the Road Management Committee over the last four years, to which Marko pointed out that theirs was a brand new committee.

The discussion became increasingly adversarial, leaving many to think it was

Warner Cooperative Preschool closing?The Warner Cooperative Preschool was unable to hire a teacher

for this year and it is quite questionable if they will continue. April Kent is trying to comprise a quorum of Board of Director's so they can make a decision officially about dissolving the cooperative.

The Board in the near future will need to make a decision about the space because CAP is really interested in the preschool space downstairs.

Francestown Halloween Costume PartySaturday, October 29th, 7pm – 11pm

Come one, come all to enjoy—and dance to—live music by the band SheepDip. With recordings under the Virgin Wool label, this popular rock group has been “wow”ing folks in the Monadnock region for the last 10 years. Devise a terrific costume or just add your favorite hat or boa to celebrate Halloween at Francestown’s Town Hall. The Francestown Heritage Commission and George Holmes Bixby Memorial Library are cosponsoring the event. The evening is BYOB with light snacks provided. All proceeds go directly to the Town Hall Project—and this event raised over $1300 last year! In 2015 more than 100 ghosts, goblins, and skeletons—plus characters from fairy tales, Star Wars, and the imagination—made the Costume Party Fundraiser on Halloween Eve a huge hit. Costumes disguised party-goers from elementary school parents right on up to grandparents, but couldn’t mask the fun everyone was having on the dance floor and at the surrounding tables. Admission: $10.00 with tickets available at the Francestown Village Store, George Holmes Bixby Library, and at the Town Hall door.

According to the World Health Organization, depres-sion is a major cause of disease burden worldwide, affecting an estimated 350 million people. According to the National Institutes of Mental Health, in 2014 an estimated 15.7 million adults aged 18 or older in the United States had experienced at least one major depressive episode in the past year. An international evidence review published in the American Journal of

Psychiatry has found that certain nutritional supplements can increase the effectiveness of antidepressants for people with clinical depression. Both Omega-3 fish oils and Vitamin D were found to boost the effects of medica-tion. A similar review published in Translational Psychiatry supports the link between intake of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids and reduction in major depressive disorder (MDD). The effect was greater in studies supplementing higher doses of EPA and performed in patients already on antidepressants.

The study involved people with MS and optic neuropathy, which is damage to the nerve that sends information from the eye to the brain. In people with MS, the immune system destroys myelin, the protective coating around the nerves, which then leads to damage along the nerves, slowing signals to and from the brain. Optic nerve damage is a common consequence of the disease.

H-D Board tables Alternative High School relocationAfter having been the main topic of

conversation over the past several months, the Hillsboro-Deering School Board has apparently abandoned the idea of relocating the Alternative High School to the Hillcat Drive campus.

At the beginning of Monday night's meeting, Chair Rich Pelletier polled Board members on their positions.

Nancy Egner felt that although she supported the concept, it was "not worth fighting for" in the light of so much contro-versarsy.

Chris Bober indicated that if the Board was to move forward with the proposal it should allow residents to vote on it.

Steve Hahn again expressed support for the project and wanted to proceed with it.

Paul Plater, as he has from the beginning favored finding space in the existing build-ing before building a fourth school.

Pelletier again reminded his colle-gues that this year's budget is facing an $800,000 increase with higher insurance costs and the second your of the teacher's

contract. If the $200,000 for site work was absorbed from the surplus, a $200,000 cut would be needed in programs or personnel.

He too felt the timing was not right.Seeing a consensus, Pelletier tabled the

idea until at least the November meeting.

SAU 18 Superintendent Daniel Legallo recently announced that the 2016-17 Franklin school district budget is currently “frozen,” in light of a $115,000 loss in state adequacy aid. The latest reduction comes after school and city officials met dur-ing the summer to address a $1.3 million shortfall in the Franklin school district budget. In more positive news, the school board announced a $2,300 grant from the Tilton Wal-Mart for school supplies lobbied for by school board member Tim Dow, who contacted human resources officer Stacey Collins, once the budget process eliminated funds for supplies.In addition, Hope Community Chapel and Franklin Savings Bank collected school supplies to help the district, too, thanks to efforts by school board member Marisa Carter and her husband.

The district received an additional $900 more dollars thanks to the Mayor Ken Merrifield, and his band, Night Rider, which put on a concert fundraiser to help the Franklin music program. High School Principal Carrie Charette reported that she is working on “opening doors” for collabo-rating with Winnisquam Regional High

State cuts force Franklin School district budget freezeSchool. Winnisquam needs a wood shop course, and the drama program at Frank-

lin is also attractive. In exchange, Franklin needs Advanced Placement courses.

The Henniker Rescue Squad was one of the first in the state to receive new EMS Data Collection Software. As such, state officials asked if the Department would be a pilot program for the state.

At a state conference on September 26th, Rescue Chief Tom French, represent-ing the Squad, was presented the Pamela Mitchel/Richard Connoly EMS Achieve-ment Award, given to those who perform valuable service to the EMS community.

Tuesday night, French attended the se-lectmen's meeting to inform the Board and to recognize Squad members Captain Mick Costello and Steve Meade as the members most responsible for the award.

Northfield's Pines Community Center it turns out, is required to be a licensed child-care facility.

The recreation center, which is oper-ated by the nonprofit Tilton-Northfield Recreation Council and funded by mu-nicipal appropriations and program fees, is currently undergoing the child-care licensing process with the state Depart-

ment of Health and Human Services. The process was initiated after Robert

Magoon, 74, of Tilton, the center’s former maintenance supervisor was arrested. Initially, it was thought that the facility wasn’t required to be a state-licensed child-care center under HHS guidelines because it fell under an exemption for municipal recreation programs.

Tilton select board chair Pat Consen-tino, said she didn’t realize the facil-ity wasn’t licensed, so she and Town Manager Joyce Fulweiler called HHS and explained that Tilton and Northfield don’t run the Pines Community Center but pur-chase services from the Tilton-Northfield Recreation Council, a nonprofit.

MessengerTHE letters to the EditorDear Editor:

On October 5, there was a forum in Antrim for candidates running for State Representative from Hillsborough District 38. District 38 is a large, ten-town district that includes Antrim, Bennington, Fran-cestown, Greenfield, Greenville, Hancock, Hillsborough, Lyndeborough, Wilton and Windsor. These forums give voters a chance to meet the candidates and hear each of them answer a series of questions submitted by attendees. In a district this large, the can-didates will be unknown to many voters, and the forums are an opportunity for candidates to explain their positions on issues.

For the October 5th forum, only the Democratic candidates, Richard McNamara and Bianca Acebron Peco, showed up. Both Republican candidates, Jim Kofalt and John Valera, did not attend. On October 6 in Greenville, once again, the Democratic candidates attended; the Republicans didn't. On October 16 in Hillsborough--same thing. In all, it appears that Mr. Kofalt has been absent from as many as 6 candidate forums.

It's looking like District 38 Republicans are taking our votes for granted or would prefer not to face voters to explain their posi-tions. One can only speculate about what they might be hiding, or why they appear to be ducking the chance to speak with voters directly. If they are elected, can we expect them to show up for the weekly legislative meetings in Concord? Are they 'stealth' can-didates who plan to enact a private agenda known only to themselves?

I'm voting for the candidates who have been willing to meet with voters, who have

listened to our concerns, and who have explained what they will support if elected; Democrats Richard McNamara and Bianca Acebron Peco. Please join me and vote for them on November 8th.

Norma Webster, Hillsborough****************************************To The Editor:

If you think the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obama Care) just benefits people who can’t get health insurance any other way, guess again. Two major provisions of this act gave to all of us an end to lifetime limits and being denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. So, even if you are cov-ered through your employer, you still benefit from these provisions.

My family knows very personally the importance of these two benefits. Two years ago, my son experienced a catastrophic event during heart surgery that left him clinging to life for a few months and perma-nently damaged. His wife is employed and has family health insurance coverage. How-ever, without the ACA, his family would have been bankrupt as his medical expenses passed the million dollar mark within the first three months of this catastrophe.

The Republican Party and candidate Donald Trump want to repeal the Affordable Care Act. If they succeed, we will all lose the benefits of no lifetime limit or pre-existing condition protection. The Democratic Party and candidate Hillary Clinton recognize that ACA is not perfect and measures should be taken to improve it, thus preserving these two benefits. A catastrophic medical event can happen to anyone, as my family found

Judith Ackerson, Franklin *****************************************Dear Editor:

Don’t forget the New Hampshire State House

It is so easy in the discouraging flood of negativity and the subsequent Saturday Night Live spoofs to forget that many state representative races will be decided by fewer than 100 votes. We have two US senators and two representatives to the US House, but many of us have four representatives to the New Hampshire House, so we have a clear responsibility to vote and be counted! I support candidates who recognize our challenges with education, health care for all, protecting the New Hampshire environ-ment, supporting small businesses, and not passing on all expenses to be funded by local property taxes. We need representatives who have the human and political skills to work in a constructive, bi-partisan fashion, because all promises aside, that is the only path to effective legislation. Fortunately, Dick McNamara and Bianca Acebron Peco are running in the large “floterial” District 38 (Antrim, Bennington, Francestown, Green-field, Greenville, Hancock, Hillsborough, Lyndeborough, Wilton and Windsor), and Marjorie Porter and Gil Shattuck are seeking re-election in District 1 (Antrim, Hillsbor-ough, and Windsor). Dick, Marjorie, and Gil

are proven legislators with outstanding track records and commitment, and Bianca brings fresh perspective as a recent college gradu-ate and a millennial who is staying in New Hampshire. All four deserve your support!

Steve Hahn, Hillsborough*****************************************To the Editor:

Among the many issues facing our New Hampshire legislature, providing health care and maintaining the quality of our environment are two of the most impor-tant. Maintaining access for women’s health care and continuing to provide Medicaid for low income residents are both essential to our community’s well-being, as is develop-ing and improving access to prevention and rehabilitation for those addicted to opioid drugs. Republican opposition to Planned Parenthood, past (and possible future) oppo-sition to Medicaid expansion, and foot drag-ging with response to the opioid epidemic serve to disenfranchise our citizens who have a right to and need for these services.

Likewise, Republican rejection of funds for rail infrastructure is shortsighted. Rail services would decrease use of fossil fuels, reduce highway congestion in the southern corridor and increase employment opportu-nities in the Granite State.

The Democratic leadership, including Marjorie Porter, Gilman Shattuck, Richard McNamara, and Bianca Acebron Peco, support these measures and that is why I support them and urge you to cast your vote on their behalf on November 8th.

By: Dan MacDonald, Emergency Management Director

The Town of New Boston recently broke ground on their Emergency Services Com-munication site upgrade. This project was made possible as a result of a NH Emer-gency Management Department sponsored grant, and the support of the New Boston voters.

The Town of New Boston applied for a grant earlier this year to upgrade the radio communications site located at the end of Ridgeview Lane. Previously the radio site was located in an old chicken house on Tom Mansfield’s property. When the Kennedy Brothers built the Ridgeview development, they offered to build a communications site for the town in the cul de sac, at the top of Ridgeview Lane. The effort was a major improvement in coverage for the emergency services radio systems. At the time Chief Jim Dodge, and Asst. Chief John Bunting lead the effort to implement this critical project. However time has taken its toll on both the small building, which is beginning to fall apart, the telephone pole that serves as the tower for the antennas for Highway, Police and Fire, and the site which is mostly a woodland environment with overgrowth of vegetation. These conditions have devel-oped into a dangerous risk for a wildfire. If even a small fire was to occur in this area, it would impact communications for all of our Departments for many months. In addition, the trees have grown to a point where they tower over the antennas, rendering the Po-lice Departments communications to 50% efficiency and impacting the other Depart-ments transmission capability due to the interference of the trees with the antennas.

The solution and ultimate proposal was to install a new 80 foot tower that would dramatically increase radio transmission coverage, provide a radio shelter that was more secure and provided environmental conditioning, increase the security of the site with a fence surrounding the compound, and make the area fire safe. This proposal was submitted and eventually approved by the State, which provided a 50/50 matching grant. At the 2016 Town meeting the voters approved the 50% matching grant, which was $ 98,150. The State approved the grant in September and work immediately began on the project. Abutters were contacted to ensure they were aware of the effort and provided a means for them to express any concerns or input.

The New Boston Highway Department has already helped to reduce costs pertain-ing to the project through their efforts and expertise. This is a prime example of a cooperative effort between New Boston Departments working to provide the best services possible to our community. There have been numerous hours invested in this project by our Highway Department, Police Department, Fire Department and Emer-gency Management Director. The expected completion date for the project is mid-No-vember, with favorable weather.

We would like to express our appre-ciation and thanks for the support of the citizens of New Boston, the New Hampshire Emergency Management Department, our Town Administration, and the Depart-ments making this possible Highway, Police, Fire and Emergency Management. Stay tuned, more to come on the progress of this critical project.

Skateboard & Scooter Competition The Office of Youth Services & Recreation teamed up with co-

sponsors Spank Alley Skate and Mountain View Tavern in Sunapee to organize the 1st Annual Skateboard & Scooter Competition at Grimes Field in Hillsboro on Sunday October 16th. A small enthusi-astic group of young skateboard & scooter athletes had a perfect day to showcase their skills. The slalom was the first event and took place on lower Depot Street where competitors negotiated a dozen turns over a distance of 100 yards. After the Slalom competitors moved over to the Skateboard Park where they competed in the Freestyle by showing the judges what they could do in one minute. The final event was the Best Trick competition where athletes had 3 attempts to land the perfect trick. Hillsboro Rescue/EMS was on hand to give tours of the ambulance and treated one competitor for minor scrapes and scratches. There was music provided by “Your Way DJ”, raffle prizes, gift certificates, and plenty of food for competitors and specta-tors donated by Mountain View Tavern in Sunapee. Owners Eddie and Lynn Dipietro live in Hillsboro and plan on a grand opening for their restaurant on November 1st.


New London Selectmen beginning work on FY2018 budgetThe New London Board of Selectmen

began work on its FY2018 budget at their meeting on October 3rd. Once completed, it will be submitted to the Budget Com-mittee and then finally to voters at Town Meeting on March 15, 2017.

The Selectmen start their budget preparation by gathering recommenda-tions for funding from town department heads and requests from nonprofit organizations that provide services to the town. The next step is to meet with department heads and nonprofit groups to get more information on the requests. Public input is helpful throughout this process.

The Selectmen must consider the individual requests for funding along with the overall needs of the town and the impact of the budget on the taxpayers. The Selectmen hope to complete their work and turn the budget over to the Budget Committee on November 30th. The Budget Committee will consider the recommendations of the Selectmen, hear from department heads and nonprofit groups, and then prepare a budget that will be voted on at Town Meeting, also

keeping in mind the overall needs of the Town and the impact on the taxpayers.

The Capital Reserve Fund subcom-mittee met on October 19th at 6:00pm to discuss potential capital projects that may need funding.

Upcoming editions of this newsletter will highlight the work of both boards but all members of the public are encouraged to attend meetings and offer thoughts and suggestions on what should be in-cluded, or excluded, from the budget.
