Nonresidents happy 

Selectmen report New London is in "good shape" 

The New London Selectmen held their annual 

Nonresident Taxpayers' meeting on Monday 

and to the delight of those attending, announced 

that it would be opening the Transfer Station 

on Sundays. The Board reported that it had 

advertised for a Sunday position at the Transfer 

Station which it hoped to fill by next month. 

Selectman Tina Helm said she couldn't promise 

a specific timeline, but stressed the Board was 

trying to be attentive to their needs. 

The general message given was that the town 

The Weare woman who stole about $80,000 

from her employer's company while it was in 

bankruptcy will spend the next year in jail. 

Renee Pelletier, 60, begins serving the sentence 

at the end of the month and has been ordered 

pay restitution to her former employer, Modern 

Excavation and Development, a small company 

in Merrimack. Pelletier pled guilty to stealing the 

is in "good shape." The three Board members 

alternated updating the group on various issues, 

including the goal of having have a community 

center in the 1941 Building with a combination 

of Public and Private funds, the status of the 

Elkins Project to upgrade sidewalks and make 

the area safer, fixing cracks in the Pleasant 

Lake Dam and to repair the Pleasant Lake Boat 

Launch. Lamson Lane property owners were 

happy to learn of plans to replace culverts and 

remove trees to prevent future washouts. 

Weare woman sentenced to one year in jail 

money, using more than 500 illegal transactions 

over a three year period. 

The evidence showed that she forged owner

checks issued to her personal creditors and to 

"Cash" and also used the company's checking 

account to make another 233 online transactions 

to pay off her debts.

Strum Ruger donates firearms to the NRA 

An exclusive collection of rifles and pistols now have a home at 

the National Rifle Association Headquarters Range thanks to a special 

donation from Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. Numbering eight 

guns in all, the collection will be made available when hosting special 

events and guests. “Ruger is delighted to provide these firearms to 

the NRA Range,” said Chris Killoy, Ruger’s Vice President of Sales 

and Marketing. “The staff at the range do a fantastic job for all of us 

when they introduce media personnel, politicians, and other visitors 

to safe and responsible firearms use.” While the range has always 

had plenty of ammunition, their inventory never included firearms. 

For events held at the range such as the Youth Education Summit 

and the annual Veterans Day Shoot, NRA employees would offer 

up their personal firearms. Thanks to Ruger, such a sacrifice is no 

longer necessary. “The NRA Range staff is thrilled with the donation,” 

said NRA Headquarters Range Manager Michael Johns. “Now 

Ruger will be the first trigger everyone pulls at all of our events.” 

Sugar River donates to Mitchell Park 

MainStreet Warner, Inc. recently received a donation from 

Sugar River Bank to apply towards the completion of the stage and 

amphitheater in the Jim Mitchell Community Park. Steve Gratton, 

Board member of MainStreet Warner, Inc. states, “The bank’s 

show of support for this project means so much to us, as we near 

the stage’s completion and prepare for the park to provide the 

Main Stage for this year’s Warner Fall Foliage Festival in October. 

Our small town bank, Sugar River Bank, is the epitome of what a 

community bank can mean to its residents. They know us, they care 

about this community, and they are really here for us." 

Sunapee may receive FEMA assistance 

Sunapee Road Agent Scott Hazelton reviewed the bid proposals 

for Winn Hill Road and Trow Hill Road with the Selectmen. 

Four companies submitted proposals for engineering and design 

services. Hazelton, said he has money in his budget left over from 

the completed paving projects, to put towards one of these projects, 

and recommended putting this money towards Winn Hill Road, 

which was on this year’s paving schedule. Hazelton is also working 

with FEMA on the recent storms and washouts as the Town may be 

eligible for costs to assist withthe Trow Hill design.


Henniker Community School & John Stark to share Chinese teacher 

The U.S.-China Teachers Exchange Program, 

established in 1996 by the National 

Committee on U.S. China Relations with 

funding from the Freeman Foundation, will 

bring Ms. Zhang Yang to the United States 

to teach Chinese language and culture at 

the Henniker Community School and John 

Stark Regional High School in the coming 

school year. Zhang Yang is one of 10 Chinese 

teachers traveling to the U.S. for this 

program. There are five American teachers 

traveling to China to teach English this year 

in this exchange program. 

“We are ever so pleased to welcome Ms. 

Zhang to our faculty team for this school 

year,” said John Stark Principal Christopher 

Corkery. “In addition to having her 

continue Chinese language instruction for 

our world language students, we are looking 

forward to having her infuse cultural lessons 

across our curriculum by co-teaching with 

other faculty members. 

21st Century Skills are universal and 

the perspective Ms. Zhang can offer our 

school community is invaluable,” continued 

Corkery. She is expected to arrive in New 

Hampshire just prior to the opening day of 

school on August 28 and will reside with a 

local family. 

“The idea to be part of this exchange with 

the National Committee on U.S. China Relations 

came about more than 10 years ago in 

Henniker because of our Artist in Residency 

program,” said HCS Principal Katherine 

McBride. “After that first very successful 

year, we decided the logical progression 

would be to share a Chinese Exchange 

teacher with John Stark. This way our students 

have the opportunity to be exposed to 

Chinese language and cultural opportunities 

through their high school years,” continued 

McBride. 

The cost for the Henniker Community 

School and John Stark Regional High School 

to host a Chinese Exchange Teacher through 

this program is $5,000 and is shared equally 

by the two districts.

With sunny skies and low humidity it

Off to a shotgun start, the 56 golfers 

finished their 18 holes and sat down 

to a fabulous lunch provided by Angus 

Lea owners Curt and Linda Niven. 

According to chairs Karen Booth, 

Barbara Hays and Ann Mooney, an 

abundance of sponsorships by local 

merchants allowed the Lions to raise 

over $6,000 for its community service 

projects such as Christmas Baskets, 

Downtown Holiday Lights, HDES Audio 

& Sight Testing, RIF and the Senior 

Citizen's Dinner.

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE 

BY SARAH CHAPIN 

People who take immunosuppressive drugs to treat 

lupus do not necessarily increase their cancer risk, 

according to new research led by scientists at the 

Research Institute of the McGill University Health 

Centre (RI-MUHC). This landmark study, which was 

published in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases 

addresses long-standing fears of a link between 

lupus medication and cancer. Systematic lupus erythematosus 

(SLE), commonly known as lupus, is an autoimmune disease 

in which the body’s immune system attacks healthy tissue such as the 

skin, joints, kidneys and the brain, leading to inflammation and lesions. 

Previous research has suggested that lupus patients have an increased 

risk of developing cancer, particularly lymphoma. Lymphoma is a type 

of blood cancer that occurs when cells called lymphocytes, which 

usually help protect the body from infection and disease, begin 

growing and multiplying uncontrollably, leading to tumor growth. 

• • • 

In a small pilot study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, 

a team of academic researchers has pinpointed how vitamin D3 and 

omega-3 fatty acids may enhance the immune system’s ability to clear 

the brain of amyloid plaques, one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s 

disease. 

• • • 

Rates of hemorrhage for older patients on warfarin therapy are much 

higher than rates reported in clinical trials, found a study published in 

CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). Warfarin, a commonly 

used blood thinner, is used to treat patients with atrial fibrillation to 

help prevent stroke and blood clots.

Sunapee High School Class of 1953 reunion 

In 1953, eleven seniors graduated from Sunapee High School. 

J.D. and Carol Colcord of Warner hosted a 60th high school reunion 

at their home on July 20th. Seven alumni from as far away as Utah, 

Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts and New Hampshire gathered 

together to reminisce about their experiences over the years and 

show off grand and great grandchildren photographs. The celebration 

included a cook-out and a green and white decorated cake with 

the school colors, green and white. A group photograph was taken to 

memorialize the event. 

Warner man killed in Florida accident 

A Warner motorcyclist was killed in Florida last Friday after hitting 

a truck that pulled in front of him. The Florida Highway Patrol 

reports that a GMC 1500 pickup being driven by Andrew N. Crone, 

26, of Bradenton was northbound on U.S. 41 and began turning left 

onto 53rd Avenue West, through a solid yellow light. Riding southbound 

on his 2000 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Travis L. Podgis, 

28, of Warner, N.H., laid his motorcycle onto its side, but could not 

avoid striking Crone's truck. Podgis, who was not wearing a helmet, 

was thrown from the motorcycle, and later pronounced dead at a 

local hospital. Charges are expected to be filed. 

Whaleback ski area sold at foreclosure 

Whaleback Mountain ski area has been sold at foreclosure 

auction to the bank holding the mortgage on the property. As first reported 

in the Valley News, Randolph National Bank was the sole bidder, 

offering the reserve price of $848,000 for the 154-acre property. 

The ski area, which first opened as Snowcrest in 1955, was renamed 

in 1968, and closed in March for lack of new investors. Bank officials 

say several people are interested in purchasing and reopening the 

facility. According to John Schiffman, who tried to raise money to 

run the area, Whaleback will be operating again this winter. 

Warner sued over civil rights violation? 

Warner Selectman Chairman David Hartman recently moved to 

go into nonpublic session at 8:15 p.m. under RSA91-A:3 II (e), legal. 

In attendance: Chairman Hartman, Selectman Clyde Carson, Selectman 

David Karrick, and Town Administrator Jim Bingham. During 

the short session Bingham informed the Board about a possible civil 

rights claim. No further details are available

Before everyone had cameras (and 

then cell phone cameras), postcards 

captured the local sights and made them 

available inexpensively. Friends and 

relatives could send photos of their town, 

local celebrations, and sometimes, its 

people, with a short personal note, for 

only a one or two penny stamp. The sentimental 

value of these photo souvenirs 

of your own town, or your own vacation 

trip, meant that postcards were saved 

over the years. 

This volume of treasured postcards 

from earlier times, and people’s love of 

accumulating these glimpses of the past, 

lead to the hobby of postcard collecting, 

called Deltiology, the third largest hobby 

today. 

Larry Cote purchased two Newport 

postcards in the early 1980's and was 

intrigued with the history of his town 

that they presented. The two postcards 

comprised his entire collection until 1993, 

when he met Hal Campbell, a long-time 

avid collector of postcards from all of the 

towns in the area. Today Larry has about 

800 postcards from the Newport, Guild, 

Kelleyville and Corbin Park. 


Newport Historical Society explores the history thru postcards 

On Tuesday, August 13, Larry will 

give a slide presentation on the history 

of postcards, and their value in capturing 

local history. This talk will be held in the 

Richards Library Ballroom, from 6:30- 

7:45. There is NO admission charge. 

Pauline Cunningham, volunteer driver from Newport, assists Ted Monetta of Claremont as

Members of the Student Conservation Association are helping to 

maintain the trails on Mt. Kearsarge. 

Group maintains Mt Kearsarge trails 

A group of NH teenagers have been working on trail maintenance 

on Mount Kearsarge. Members of the Student Conservation 

Association, they are dedicated to protecting and restoring national 

parks, marine sanctuaries, cultural landmarks and community 

green spaces in all 50 states. As its mission, SCA hopes to build 

the next generation of conservation leaders and inspire lifelong 

stewardship of the environment and communities by engaging 

young people in hands-on service to the land. The N.H. corps sent 

30 student members to Bear Brook State Park in January, and in 

April, members began conservation work throughout the state. 

For the past two weeks, a nine-member team has been working on 

Mount Kearsarge, clearing brush from the paths, making sure the 

drainage ditches stay clean, and making sure the trails are in good 

shape.

keeping with the college’s commitment to 

sustainable living, the Dash & Stroll will be a 

zero-waste event with recycling available and 

plant-based cups and napkins that can be 

composted after use. 

Colby-Sawyer President Thomas C. Galligan 

Jr., an avid runner who created the event 

in his first year at the college, encourages college 

and community members to participate 

in the Dash & Stroll. The event celebrates the 

close relationship between the college and its 

neighboring communities, which began more 

than 175 years ago when residents of New 

London established New London Academy. 

“The Dash & Stroll is a wonderful way to 

bring college and community members together 

for a fun and healthy event,” said President 

Galligan. “Everyone can go at their own pace.” 

Colby-Sawyer College hosts its eighth annual 5K Dash & Stroll, a non-competitive fun run and 

walk, on Saturday, Sept. 14. Registration begins at 9 a.m. on the college’s front lawn. The event 

is free of charge and the public is welcome. (Photo by Greg Danilowski)

Stunning views from Winslow State Park. 

Discover Winslow State Park in Wilmot 

Mount Kearsarge is known to most from the Rollins State 

Park side in Warner, which is only a half-mile walk from the 

summit. On the other side of the mountain is Winslow State 

Park, with a longer climb and an excellent spot for a picnic on a 

summer day. Located at 475 Kearsarge Valley Road in Wilmot, 

it is easy to find. From Route 11, follow the signs up to Winslow 

on the snaking road with switchbacks and gorgeous views. 

The road narrows away into a sort of tunnel of trees where 

you will find a little toll house. The charge is $4 for adults and 

$2 for children ages 6-11. Those who are over 65 or under 5 

can go to Winslow for free. In the parking lot, lined with birch 

trees, there is a gazebo where you can see as far as Vermont, 

with the White Mountains and nearby lakes and ponds in the 

foreground. Swing sets and a children's play area is located in 

the center, and there are nice picnic tables with grills set up for 

your use. There is a bath house and port-a-potties set up in the 

parking area.

Publisher’s Perspective by Leigh Bosse 

These local businesses support the Lions Club which supports the community. 

It's Up To You To Complete The Loop 

A few weeks ago we published a story 

outlining how the Hillsboro Lions Club 

spent over $17,000 on several community 

service projects as a way of giving back to 

the town. On page 5 of today's issue, you 

will find a story on the Club's Annual Golf 

Tournament which raised over $6,000 to 

fund those projects this year. We all, or at 

least most of us, know that money doesn't 

grow on trees. 

In addition to the golfer's registration 

fees, the vast majority of that $6,000 

came from the generous sponsorships 

(donations) of local merchants that 

consistently support the Lions, Chamber, 

Guest Editorial By Grant Bosse 

ObamaCare is an awful law. It’s falling 

apart under its own weight, and President 

Obama has already been forced to waive key 

provisions several times to prevent the law's 

disastrous consequences from fully hitting 

us. Repealing ObamaCare is good idea, and 

Congress should do everything it can to get 

rid of it. Unfortunately, the push to defund 

ObamaCare through the appropriations 

process just won’t work. 

Utah Senator Mike Lee is gathering allies 

who promise to oppose any Continuing 

Resolution to keep government operating 

unless it defunds the Patient Protection and 

Hillsborough Pride, Boy & Girl Scouts and 

our churches. This is not unique. Lions, 

Rotarians and others are doing the same 

in Antrim, Bennington, Henniker, Weare, 

Hopkinton, New London, Sunapee, Newport, 

Peterborough and Andover. 

Local merchants support the groups 

which support the community. Now it's up 

to you to close the loop by shopping local 

to support these merchants, our friends 

and neighbors. It is funny how that works, 

but they can't give anything back if they 

don't get it in the first place. Please think 

of that the next time you plan on spending 

precious dollars out of town. 

Repealing ObamaCare is worth doing right 

Affordable Care Act, known as ObamaCare. 

Federal programs are authorized and defined 

in statute, but zeroing out federal funding 

has the effect of repealing that statute, since 

there is no one being paid to administer or 

enforce it. House Republicans voted repeatedly 

to repeal the law wholesale last year, 

and once again this year, but Majority Leader 

Harry Reid will never let such a repeal come 

to a vote in the Senate. 

I’ve covered Reid’s complete failure 

to run the Senate before, but it’s worth 

mentioning again because its the reason why 

Congress has been unable to pass the Appro-


priations Bills that fund the federal government. 

Instead, the House and Senate have 

agreed to a series of short-term Continuing 

Resolutions to keep the government running. 

Lee is one of 11 Senators, along with 

60 House Republicans, who’ve said they 

won’t approve another CR unless it defunds 

ObamaCare, even if that means a government 

shutdown like 1995. 

Repealing ObamaCare outright, defunding 

it, or simply waiving its requirements like 

the President did for the employer mandate 

are worth pursuing. But Lee’s strategy is both 

short-sighted and politically foolish. 

First of all, failure to pass a Continuing 

Resolution won’t shut down ObamaCare. As 

New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte pointed 

out, the law is funded through mandatory 

spending, not the year to year discretionary 

spending covered under Appropriations Bills. 

A shutdown would close National Parks, but 

the HHS employees implementing ObamaCare 

so badly would still get paid. 

So why are Lee, and Senate firebrands 

Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, threatening a last 

stand against ObamaCare that is doomed to 

fail? I blame George W. Bush. 

It’s become cliché for the left to blame all 

manner of problems on the former President, 

and the current Administration certainly isn’t 

shy about pointing fingers towards the ranch 

in Texas five years after taking office. But we 

can trace the origins of the current push by 

some Republicans to defund ObamaCare or 

shut down government to the Bush Administration. 

While Bush’s first budget to Congress 

was pretty good, and the Bush tax cuts in 

2001 and 2003 helped speed an economic 

recovery that led to booming federal revenues. 

But in the aftermath of 9/11, Bush 

deferred almost entirely to Congress to make 

budget decisions. Appropriators turned to 

unprecedented amounts of earmarks to push 

through unprecedented spending that rose 

even faster. Deficits skyrocketed, and spendthrifts 

like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama 

were able to campaign as stewards of fiscal 

responsibility. 

Despite some vocal opposition from 

House conservatives like Jeff Flake and 

Letters to the Editor 

Dear Editor: 

I would like to respond to Karen Testerman’s 

letter published 2 August. Major 

Nidal Husan’s e-mails were monitored 

under the Bush administration. At least 19 

were copied. 

John Shadegg, and Senate efforts to curb 

wasteful spending from the like of John 

McCain and John Sununu, Congressional 

Republicans lost credibility with their base. 

By 2010, discontent with bailouts, boondoggles, 

and deficits fueled the Tea Party 

movement. 

Without credibility, many Tea Party voters 

seek purity. They want Senators like Lee, 

Paul, and Cruz to hold the line, no matter 

what. In this case, they’re holding the wrong 

line. It doesn’t help that conservative organizations 

are eager to raise money on the false 

promise of ending ObamaCare. 

Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn, the Senate’s 

most hardline fiscal hawk and leading 

ObamaCare critic, recognizes that blocking a 

CR won’t get rid of the law. If the Senate were 

to vote on defunding the law, it’s conceivable 

that a few shaky Democrats would take the 

opportunity to distance themselves from the 

disaster they created. But without the President’s 

support or a 2/3 of the House and 

Senate, such a road would leave much of the 

federal government shut down and ObamaCare 

fully funded. 

I’ve not been shy criticizing Reid and 

New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen 

for their willingness to ignore the rules and 

traditions of the Senate. I’m just as willing 

to chide Lee and his colleagues for their 

failure to understand how the Senate works. 

Senate Republicans should demand an up or 

down vote on ObamaCare repeal, and Reid 

and Shaheen should be branded as the real 

obstructionists for refusing to allow one. 

But refusing to federal programs in order to 

repeal an unrelated law just doesn’t make 

sense. 

Daniel Webster, then a New Hampshire 

Congressman, tried to end the War of 1812 

by defunding it. The resulting backlash stymied 

his Presidential ambitions for the rest 

of his life. Webster paid a heavy price for his 

futile effort. Lee, Paul, and Cruz may learn 

that same lesson.

Antrim paramedic arrested for stealing narcotics 

The NH Department of Health and 

Human Services is investigating a case of 

hepatitis A in a bartender who worked at 

both the American Legion and the Covered 

Bridge Restaurant in the Hopkinton 

An Antrim man, who works as a Peterborough 

Fire & Ambulance paramedic 

was arrested on Saturday for possession 

and theft of narcotics. Peterborough police 

arrested 34-year-old Jeremy Bouchard 

charging that several times, beginning last 

August, he took Fentanyl and morphine 

that was labeled as resupplies for Peterborough's 

ambulances. Bouchard has been 

released on $50,000 personal recognizance 

bail pending his arraignment in the 

8th Circuit Court in Jaffrey on Monday. 

Although the case remains under investigation 

by the Peterborough Police Department, 

New Hampshire Attorney General's 

Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration, 

Bouchard, who was hired by the 

town as a per diem paramedic in 2009 and 

was appointed a full-time employee in late 

2011, has been placed on leave.

Volunteers needed for Food Pantry Garden 

The 2013 garden is going full swing. All 

the vegetables are growing very well. There 

is a good harvest of lettuce and tomatoes, 

peppers, cabbage, herbs, kale and collards. 

Come by the garden on Bear Hill Road see 

how nice the garden looks. Hillsborough 

needs someone to take over this endeavor 

for the year 2014, as this is the last year Harry 

& Jacki Morehouse can manage the Food 

Pantry Garden. The Food Pantry Garden 

was started in 2008 by the Scott family on 

Bear Hill Rd. and has continued successfully 

under the management of Harry & Jacki 

Morehouse. 

If you like playing in the dirt, growing 

veggies, flowers and herbs for The Food 

Pantry in Hillsborough you will love this 

rewarding volunteer position. The vegetables 

grown provide a good direction to 

better nutrition for the clients receiving food 

at the Food Pantry. The Food Pantry Garden 

is of vital importance to this community, 

not only as physical nourishment, but also a 

spiritual one. 

You will have the opportunity to meet 

new people, learn something new every day 

and know that you are helping people to 

a better diet. Also, Harry & I have noticed 

that we are in better physical condition 

since volunteering at the FPG. If you are 

interested in taking over the garden you 

are invited to join us for the 2013 season. 

Please call us at: 464-4016 or email usathjmorehouse@tds.net. 

Suspended Weare lieutenant James Carney retires 

The Town of Weare is in the process 

of replacing its Police Chief and now 

faces another key vacancy in the Department. 

Lt. James Carney, who has 

been on paid administrative leave since 

March, has retired effective July 1st. The 

town had accused Carney of having an 

intimate relationship with an employee, 

transporting alcohol in a police vehicle, 

failing to enforce the department’s sexual 

harassment policy, coercing employees, 

getting into physical altercations with 

police and civilians, and sharing confidential 

personnel records. However, his 

attorney, Tony Soltani, claims Carney 

was a whistleblower who brought a series 

of complaints to selectmen, including 

incidents of sexual harassment, abuse of 

authority by officers, the falsification of 

reports and perjury. 

New London police pursue and arrest Danbury man 

After receiving a report of a intoxicated 

individual racing around the

Acting New London Police Chief Ed 

Andersen pursued the car onto Hayes 

Road, where it nearly hit a bike officer. 

After a short pursuit, Andersen stopped 

and arrested Michael Hastings, 25, of 

Danbury and charged him with DWI 

and disobeying a police officer. It was 

later learned that Hastings was on 

parole.

Antrim/Bennington Lions Outdoor Guide 

The Antrim/Bennington Lions Club has published a 64- 

page outdoor guide which will take nature-lovers to some 

favorite spots and some hidden gems in Antrim, Bennington

among all the sponsors who will then distribute the booklets 

at their businesses, including Monadnock Paper Mills. 

The rest of the booklets will be available at the Antrim and 

Bennington town halls and public libraries. Loveland said

division of Puritan Press located in Hollis. 

New London Selectmen table dog issue 

At their July 22nd meeting, Elkins resident Mag Frances 

complained to the New London Selectmen about unleashed 

dogs, running out of control at the Elkins beach, dam and 

boat launch area. At Monday's meeting they heard the other 

side of the story from Jane Smedley and Julia Brisbane 

who claim residents did bring their dogs there but they are 

always well behaved and under control. Their words were 

echoed by New London Recreation Director Scott Blewitt, 

who said the dog owners are being responsible. After hearing 

those reports, the Board decided to table discussion of 

the dog issue for now. 

Hancock man hurt in one vehicle crash 

A Hancock man was taken by helicopter to a Massachusetts 

hospital Wednesday after receiving severe facial 

injuries and a broken hip in an accident on Kimball Road. 

Bradley Coll, 42, formerly of Hancock, was driving his 

Dodge pickup truck when he failed to negotiate a sharp turn 

and crashed into a tree. The accident was discovered by a 

Hancock Police Officer on routine patrol. The officer stayed 

with Coll, who was trapped in the truck, until rescue workers 

arrived. The accident remains under investigation but it 

appears speed was involved. 

ZBA hearing on Crotched Mountain lights 

At press time, the Francestown ZBA is holding a hearing 

on Crotched Mountain Ski Area's application for a variance to 

permit ski area lighting, which does not meet the standards 

of the town's zoning ordinance. Crotched's General Manager 

Patrick Terry claims the newer lights have been in place at 

the ski area for a year now and belong to the same lighting 

system as those that were installed in 2002.


Warner Fire Chief briefs the Selectmen on Department matters 

Warner Fire Chief, Ed Raymond 

reported the department, to date, has responded 

to about 180 calls, of that about 

75% were medical emergencies. Seven 

firefighters graduated from the Fire Academy 

in February. A new heart monitor 

was purchased for $11K. Through a donation 

provided by Mary and Eli Cogswell 

the department was able to purchase a 

chest compression tool. 

The department is in the process of 

applying for a grant for replacing about 

20 self breathing apparatus. Typically 

they cost about $8K each; the current 

ones are about 20 years old and not in 

compliance. Selectman Carson asked if 

the grant is not successful will the expense 

be in the 2014 budget. Ed said no, 

he would begin replacing them slowly. 

Dispatch is going to start Pre-Alert 

in August which means any medical 

emergency that comes into 911 during 

the 4 minute question series the call will 

be pre-toned allowing the volunteers to 

get to the station quicker, there will also 

be a cell phone text message to those fire 

department members who sign up for the 

text message. 

The new rescue vehicle will be ready 

in about 3 weeks. Chairman Hartman 

asked why Warner does not transport 

to Concord Hospital. Ed said the start 

up cost is about $150K plus a special 

transport license, plus extra personnel. 

The Chief said the arrangement with 

Hopkinton is more cost effective. There 

will be a future discussion regarding a 

new fire station. 

Henniker Rotary Club President Jay Burgess thanks Todd Bookman, Healthcare Reporter for 

New Hampshire Public Radio for his presentation to the club.


Club Soda appearing at Henniker's Angela Robinson Bandstand 

Appearing for the first time at the 

Angela Robinson Bandstand on August 20 

is Club Soda. This four piece band based 

in Concord, NH has got it all going on. All 

four members are highly skilled musicians, 

singers and performers, playing a wide 

variety of Top 40, Classic Rock, Dance and 

a sprinkle of 70’s Disco - making every show 

full of fun. A Show Band with high energy, 

dynamic harmonies, powerful instrumentation 

and true professionalism, they have 

been a mainstay at parties, dance clubs and 

special events for over 30 years, entertaining 

audiences throughout New England. 

The band includes founding member, 

Carl Smith, one of the most versatile voices 

in New England. Carl sings lead and plays 

keyboards and you’ll think you’re listening 

to the original artist when you hear him; 

Richard Bickford, also from Concord, serves 

as the group’s “musical director” and has a 

real flair for arrangements. 

He sings lead and plays lead and bass 

guitar as well as writing original songs; John 

Ducharme from Claremont is the percussionist 

with a background in rock, blues, 

funk, Latin, Jazz and Gospel, and Cher 

Club Soda to perform in Henniker. 

Aubin, also from Claremont provides a high 

energy performance at every show with 

her powerful vocals. This is Club Soda and 

what a treat it is to have them performing in 

Henniker. 

The Henniker Summer Music Series 

is sponsored by the town of Henniker. All 

concerts are free, begin at 7:00 p.m. and

Hancock Meeting House. (Union Leader/Megan Pierce photo) 

Restorations for Hancock's Meetinghouse 

Members of the Hancock Meetinghouse Restoration Fundraising 

Subcommittee met Wednesday night to plan for a $1 

million renovation campaign. Committee member and architect 

David Drasba started the process several years ago when he secured 

an LCHIP grant to study the building. Uniquely in Hancock, 

the church and the town share ownership of the building, so the 

committee has representatives of both groups. According to Pastor 

Judy Copeland the building is in good shape considering its 

age. The 100-year-old slate roof should be replaced. The building 

was erected in 1821 and moved across Main Street to its present 

location about 1850. The Committee hopes to update the electricity 

and heating system and add handicapped accessible bathrooms 

and a platform lift to replace the chairlift along the curved stairway 

which leads to the church sanctuary.While it serves as a church on 

Sunday morning, the multi-function building has also been used 

for concerts, fundraisers, and as Town Offices, Town Meetings and 

for voting. 

Female hiker injured on Mt. Kearsarge 

New Hampshire Fish and Game officials say a Mount Kearsarge 

hiker injured her leg and required assistance after her dog pulled 

her as they were descending a trail. Twenty-three-year-old Erin 

Parnell of Lebanon had hiked to the summit on Monday. She was 

making her way back to the parking at Winslow State Park when 

she lost her footing and twisted her ankle. She was able to hike 

down the Barlow Trail for about a quarter of a mile, but needed 

help after that. Rescuers from the Wilmot, New London and Sutton 

fire departments responded and she was taken to a hospital. 

Francestown dedicates heritage Museum 

Last Saturday afternoon, a large group gathered next to the 

Town Hall to formally accept the gift of the building and dedicate it 

as the town's Heritage Museum. As part of the ceremony, the town 

honored O. Alan Thulander for his long and successful efforts in 

bringing the project to a conclusion.
