Board gets good news on Alton CentralAlton School Board also hears about roof repair project

BY ELIZABETH CANTRALL

Contributing Writer

ALTON — The June 20meeting of the AltonSchool Board began with apresentation from FoleyBuhl Roberts and Associ-ates on roof repairs neededat the school.

The school board will bemeeting on July 8 for thesole purpose of discussingroof bids.

Environmental testingdone by RPF Associates,Inc. followed and the schoolboard got some good newsconcerning the air qualityof Alton Central School.

Dennis Francoeur, a rep-resentative from RPF Envi-ronmental, thoroughlywent through the variouscontaminants for whichthe school’s air was testedand the results of thesetests were presented onslides before the board.

Francoeur stated thatthe building itself wassomewhat complex due tothe variety in age and styleof the different sections.

When discussing the to-tal airborne fungal spores,RPF found elevated levelsin room 7 that should prob-ably be looked at again.

Francoeur’s initial rec-ommendation regardingthese fungal spores was forthe school to look at house-keeping efforts. He statedpart of the problem couldhave to do with past water

issues and that he was gladthe roof was going to be re-paired.

Francoeur went on to saythere were currently “no ac-tive moisture events.”

He also noted there was amissing downspout on theoutside of the building,which is causing damage tothe outside brickwork. Inthis damaged area there isgrowing microbial that

could cause future prob-lems with mold if not fixed.

There were three sam-ples of slightly elevatedradon that Francoeurseemed to think would besolved by getting more out-side air into the classrooms.

He went on to say it is“not uncommon to findradon in NH” and that “out-side air would kill a lot ofthe radon.”

In fact, Francoeurseemed to think that open-ing windows would help inmany ways.

“[You would be] killing alot of birds [with one stone]by bringing in fresh air,”said Francoeur.

Francoeur also reportedfinding evidence of lead inone sink, which he attrib-uted to old plumbing, buthis recommendations were

to retest the radon (doing allof the ground floor class-rooms this time) and thesink.

Overall, Francoeur’sopinion seemed to be theschool was in good shape forits age.

NEW DURHAM — TheNew Durham Board of Se-lectmen met on Wednes-day, June 19, to discuss theprocess of hiring a firechief.

The board had a sched-uled appointment withMarc Behr, but that ap-pointment was cancelled.

Chair Terry Jarvistalked about the process ofhiring a fire chief and ref-erenced comments madeabout a 2008 town warrantarticle that was thought torequire a certain make-upfor the interview panel.

Jarvis indicated thatthe warrant article was ad-visory only. Interviews forthe position of the firechief were postponed untilthe board can create an in-terview advisory panel.

Member David Swensonwanted to point out thatthe panel would be adviso-ry only and that the select-men would have final sayon who is hired.

Dave Bickford, a formerselectmen, advised Jarvisagainst saying that townmeeting trumps the gov-erning body. Bickford saidthat that there are statuto-ry articles and advisory ar-ticles and that it is impor-tant to know the differ-ence.

Don Jutton, the Presi-dent of Municipal Re-sources Incorporated,spoke to the selectmenSEE NEW DURHAM,PAGE A12

Conservation effort launched in AltonMore than 600 acres of land around Mount Major eyed for conservationALTON — Thousands of

hikers exult in the viewfrom the top of Mount Ma-jor in Alton each summer.Most have no idea thatthere’s nothing to stop a ‘notrespassing’ sign from go-ing up in the future to blockthe trails that cross privateland on their way to thesummit.

The Society for the Pro-tection of N.H. Forests andthe Lakes Region Conser-vation Trust (LRCT) arejoining forces to preventsuch a loss and to start safe-guarding not only MountMajor but the rest of theBelknap Range’s views,recreational opportunitiesand wildlife habitats.

The two organizations,with support from othermembers of the BelknapRange Conservation Coali-tion, are working togetherto raise $1.8 million by Dec.1 to purchase and protect

four key properties – about950 acres – being sold by sep-arate landowners. One ofthe parcels, 331 acres thatinclude parts of four recre-ational trails, is in Gilford’sMoulton Valley and on theslope of Piper Mountain.The other three are on ornear Mount Major.

Mount Major is on theeastern end of the BelknapRange. The state owns theRoute 11 parking area andthe summit (the 60-acreMount Major State Forest).The land in between is pri-vate.

“For thousands of peo-ple around the region,Mount Major was the firstmountain they climbed andthey’ve since climbed itmany times and with theirchildren and grandchil-dren,” said Don Berry,LRCT president. “If theselands are sold or trans-ferred, the owners could cutoff the access, and therecreational opportunitiesand the wildlife habitat maydisappear as well.”

A successful fundraisingcampaign will ensure thatall four properties are kept

open to the public for hik-ing, hunting, snowmobil-ing and other recreationalactivities. The propertieswould also remain on thetax rolls of Alton and Gil-ford once conservation re-strictions are in place toprotect them. The LRCTwill own and manage theGilford parcel, while theForest Society will own andmanage the three parcelson or near Mount Major.

OpinionOpinionOpinionNext week, a day early

This week we head into what is consideredthe premiere week of summer. IndependenceDay is just around the corner and the summerseason is in full swing.

Due to the holiday falling on a Thursdaythis year, our papers are going to be comingout a day early, so look for next week’s editionof The Baysider on Wednesday instead of onThursday. Our office will be closed on Thurs-day, July 4, in observance of the holiday.

Of course, this changes things up in justabout every aspect of the newspaper, so weneed your cooperation in helping to get the pa-per out on time with the content that needs tobe in.

First, all advertising deadlines that usuallyfall on Monday will now be on Friday, mean-ing tomorrow if you are reading this on theday it came out. With early deadlines, it’s evenmore difficult for our advertising staff andgraphic artists to extend deadlines beyond theusual, so we ask all businesses wishing to ad-vertise or folks looking to place classified ads,to do so as soon as you can so they can appearthis week.

The other deadline that normally falls onMonday is the deadline for the sports section.Any submissions for that section are usuallydue by Monday at 10 a.m. at the latest. Thisweek, that has changed and all submissionsare due by Friday at 10 a.m.

The final deadline change is in the editori-al content of the newspaper. Items such as let-ters, obituaries and press releases are typi-cally due by noon on Tuesday. This week, theywill be due by noon on Monday in order tomeet the early printing times.

We have very few issues with people miss-ing editorial deadlines in our paper and weare happy that people are able to get us theirevents and news in a timely manner so thatwe may include it in the newspaper each week.We are well aware that Tuesday at noon mayseem early for a newspaper that doesn’t comeout until Thursday, but there are a lot of fac-tors that go into setting the deadlines.

Our papers are printed at our plant in Mass-achusetts, a plant that also prints the other 10papers in the Salmon Press family as well asall of the papers in the Stonebridge Pressbranch of our family, which is spread acrosssouthern Massachusetts and northern Con-necticut. With all of these papers to print,there’s a schedule that has to be followed andin order to fit the Baysider in when it needs togo, we have to set our deadlines.

Both the pages that you see and the adver-tisements that you see on the page are put to-gether by our graphic artists and the dead-lines also give them time to produce the paperand/or the ads to get things off to the printeron time. The B section of our paper goes topress a day before the A section, meaning ear-lier deadlines for anything that appears inthat section, such as classified advertisingand sports.

We thank you for your patience this comingweek as we put our paper together early andask that all submissions make it to our desksby the proper deadlines so we can includethem in the July 3 edition.

To the Editor:Chris Matthews in last

week’s Hardball TV broad-cast on MSNBC said it bestwhen he openly criticizedSenator John McCain andothers in Congress who arecalling for a no fly zone andmore US military aid to theSyrian rebel group oppos-ing President Bashar As-sad.

According to Matthews,it’s another repeat of theBush administration’s pastmistakes in the MiddleEast with Iraq and Iran anda dangerously slipperyslope, which the Obama ad-ministration is now beingpressured to follow towardsanother undeclared US

proxy war on behalf of Is-raeli policy interests in theMiddle East in the key Is-raeli border areas of Jor-dan and Syria.

Matthews opposes US in-volvement in a Syrian Civ-il War, which has been inexistence between Sunniand Shiite Muslims sectsfor well over four decadesnow. He’s right on the mon-ey with his commentary.“That’s precisely whatwe’re doing now. Goingdown the list. Going fromcountry to country…Regime change afterregime change, night afternight on worldwide televi-sion, this country of ours isout there taking sides with

Proxy war is not a Middle East policy for Syria

To the Editor:If you live in New

Durham, you should knowthat according to the boardof selectmen (BOS), war-rant articles passed at townmeetings are simply 'advi-sory,' so they do not need tofollow the directions of thevoters, so I ask, why do we

bother having the requiredTown Meeting? Is this evenlegal?

During the June 19 BOSmeeting (available for view-ing on the town web site), itwas indicated that warrantarticles are simply adviso-ry and that the BOS can dowhatever it wants, regard-

less of what the voters de-cide during town meetings.

When I asked about this,the Town Administratortold me in an e-mail mes-sage, "the Board of Select-men is given the sole au-thority to take a specific ac-tion by law, any vote atTown Meeting would really

be an advisory one since theboard can ultimately do asthey wish".

Do the citizens of NewDurham understand thatthis is what your selectmenthink about decisions thatwe make at Town Meetings?

Conservation subdivision talk sparks disagreementBY TIM CROES

Staff Writer

ALTON — The AltonPlanning Board had a pairof conceptual consulta-tions and a voluntary lotmerger on the agenda for itsmeeting on Tuesday, June18, but a discussion at theend of the meeting on con-servation subdivision regu-lations got quite heated.

Dave Hussey, the select-men’s representative,talked about the action ofthe board to take a warrantarticle off the table for 2014.Hussey talked about Agen-da 21 and feels that there isno connection between itand conservation subdivi-sions.

“I am amazed that peoplehave gotten together andtold lies to other towns,”Hussey said.

Hussey feels the issuewasn’t discussed on its mer-its. Hussey and memberRaymond Howard got into averbal back and forth on theissue, with each on oppositesides of the issue.

Hussey thinks that theconnection of Agenda 21 toregulations is absurd.

“It’s the stupidest thing Ihave heard of,” Husseyadded.

Hussey got fired up talk-

ing about the issue and lat-er apologized for losing hiscool when discussing the is-sue.

Chairman Dave Collieragreed that the issue needsto be discussed further andmember Scott Williamsagreed.

Vice-chair Tom Hoopessaid that the public needs tobe educated on the issue.

Hussey feels that regula-tions should be fought at thestate and federal level.Hussey said he was in sup-port of getting rid of regu-lations that aren’t needed.

Aran Sisoian and PhilWhitman spoke to theboard during public inputand said they could providesome names of individualswho could help explainAgenda 21.

Ken McWilliams, thetown planner, said he is at aloss of who he could speakwith to offer an objectivepresentation of Agenda 21.

Hoopes claimed that a lotof misinformation was putout and questions letters toeditor that were presentedprior to the election inMarch.

Whitman suggested thata joint meeting should beheld between the planning

board and the board of se-lectmen.

The board approved theminutes of May 21 meeting,as presented.

The board approved avoluntary lot merger on De-pot Street proposed by AlexBoisvert to combine threesmall lots; .2, .22 and .08acres.

There was some discus-sion as to why the town had-n’t purchased the land inthe past, and Hussey agreedthat the town should havepurchased the lots.

A conceptual consulta-tion was held for the subdi-vision located on NewDurham Road owned by JoeSpain.

Spain wasn’t in atten-dance, but Eugene Sullivanand Brad Jones, an engi-neer, spoke on behalf ofSpain.

The board discussed andapproved plans to use un-derground and overheadutilities on the subdivision,using a fire pond/dry hy-drant and a phasing plan forthe project.

Hoopes suggested Spainkeep up with wetland andother permits.Sullivan saidSpain would be coming be-fore the board in the near

future to apply for an ex-tension on the subdivision.

Bernie Lynch came be-fore the board to discuss al-lowing his design engineer,Tom Varney, to performconstruction observationsfor Spring Haven Camp-ground in West Alton.

Lynch felt that the quotesfor engineering work by thetown engineer and an addi-tional engineer were toohigh. A letter was present-ed by John Dever, the codeenforcement, objecting toLynch’s request to use Var-

ney.Lynch felt that

McWilliams and Deverwere biased in their opin-ions.

McWilliams said thatLynch had changed hisplans several times. Theboard explained that theycouldn’t recommend anyother engineer.

Hussey questioned hav-ing Varney do the work andinspecting it. Collier ex-plained that the town engi-neer was there to make surethe project is up to code.

Lynch eventually concededhis objection and said hewould go with town engi-neer Pete Julia to do thework.

The board denied havingVarney be a consulting en-gineer on the project.

The next scheduledmeeting of Alton PlanningBoard is on Tuesday, July16, at 6 p.m. at the AltonTown Hall.

Granite State News

WOLFEBORO — Thesun came out just in time toshine down on the 164 grad-uates of the Kingwood Re-gional High School Class of2013 during its commence-ment exercises held atAlumni Field on theKingswood campus Satur-day, June 15.

Though Mother Naturehad pulled some strings,the classmates didn’t needgood weather to emanatetheir own rays of excite-ment, anticipation and joy.Their smiling faces met bythe proud, wide grins oftheir family and friendsthere to cheer them on wasenough to ward off anyrain clouds and light upthis special day.

As Class Marshals Tuck-erman Jones and KellyWood led their classmatesdown the center aisle towhat would be their finalhigh school gathering, theywalked to the tune of thetraditional Pomp and Cir-cumstance played byKingswood’s symphonicband under the direction ofRobert Burns.

Following the Pledge ofAllegiance led by Hiral Pa-tel, seniors Kimberly Adju-tant and Nathan Wottonsang an inspiring a cappel-la rendition of the Nation-al Anthem, showcasingjust one of the many talentsembodied by the membersof this graduating class.

As Class President Jes-sica Colpoys explained inher welcoming address,“this group of talented stu-dents brought Kingswoodmuch success,” in a widearray of areas rangingfrom victorious sportsteams to thriving voc. ed.programs to achievementsin after school clubs and or-ganizations.

Colpoys pointed out thatgiven these talents she andher fellow graduates makeup the only class that haveexperienced the “old plas-tic palace in all its glory” aswell as the new high schoolbuilding post-construc-tion.

Having lived throughthe school’s transforma-tion, they are now ready fortheir own and just like ithad been “a long road get-ting here,” the next chapterof their lives promise morelong journeys and unex-pected turns. Moving for-ward without the contenthelp of their teachers andparents that they came torely on Colpoys urged herclassmates to take risks in

their new lives and to getoutside of their comfortzones.

“Every moment is an op-portunity to open a doorthat appears to be sealedshut,” she said.

Top two Gold ScholarsKelsey Fleet and Jones alsoaddressed their classmatesand encouraged them to beinspired by every day.

Kingwood Scholars earntheir status by excelling ac-ademically, in extracurric-ular accomplishments, inleadership and by contri-butions to their communi-ties and high school ex-plained Governor Went-worth Regional SchoolBoard Chair Stacy Trites,who proudly introducedthe pair.

While the entire classhas a staggering 3,462hours of community serv-ice to its credit, she said,Fleet and Jones have put in320 themselves. In additionthese two together havetaken a total of 17 advancedplacement classes and ex-ams and have participatedin a total of 13 leadershipactivities.

“[They’ve] worked hard,demonstrated strong lead-ership and exemplary citi-zenship,” said Trites.

Fleet, the second highestranking scholar, sharedher experiences travelingto Ghana, Africa, and howshe learned from the peo-ple she met there that “awarm smile is the univer-sal language for kindness”[William Arthur Ward].

“Despite all of our dif-ferences,” she said, “Wehad one thing in common,a smile.” She explainedthat though their lives werefull of hardship the Ghana-ians showed their visitorsa warm welcome andfriendly curiosity.

“They didn’t know muchEnglish, yet they knew asmile was more thanenough communication.”

So she urged her friendsto find their own “Ghana,”as they journey to newplaces in the next year. Aplace that she said shehoped was full of “smiles,memories and friendship.”

In his speech, highest-ranking Gold ScholarJones, advised his class-mates to “follow the tick of[their] own watch.”

“From now on we are onour own time,” he said.“This precious time willyield for no one, it ticks thesame for me as it does foryou.”

He considered that heand his friends would be re-sponsible for their own de-cision making from here onout and that they shouldmanage their own time tobenefit their own individ-ual styles and personali-ties.

“Leave here today andmake the most of the time

you are given, figure outwhat it is that makes youhappy and establish what itis to spend your own timewisely.”

After a lively perform-ance of John Wasson’s“Pop and Rock Legends:Chicago” by the symphon-ic band students, Adjutantand Autumn Keyes pre-sented the class gift toKingswood High SchoolPrincipal Guy Donnelly.

The Class of 2013 is giv-ing the school new picnictables to be placed outsideof the library. The classhopes to establish this asan outside eating areawhere students can taketheir lunches.

Additionally the class isdonating funds to three lo-cal food pantries.

A special presentationwas given by Ian Lehner,who thanked retiring Su-perintendent Jack Robert-son for his 21 years of serv-ice to the school districtand credited him with thesuccessful completion of“the most complicatedbuilding project ever doneby a school district in thestate of New Hampshire.”

In appreciation for a“job done with integrity,care and excellence,” Lehn-er announced, the schoolboard had set up a scholar-ship in Robertson’s name

that will award a deservingstudent with a yearbookeach year.

Haley Manson intro-duced commencementspeaker Kirkland “Rusty”Ross, who is retiring fromhis position as KingswoodRegional Middle SchoolPrincipal after 17 yearsworking in the district and40-plus years in education.

“Mr. Ross has been a pos-itive role model and an ad-vocate for students,” shesaid, “and the Class of 2013is honored to have him asour speaker.”

In his speech Ross jokedof the changes in technolo-gy over the years since hisyouth by comparing to-day’s Smartphone to thecumbersome, bulky tech-nologies of the past. For ex-ample he recalled the old-fashioned wall phones thatrequired cranking and alive operator and typewrit-ers that necessitated preci-sion and patience. He re-minded the audience ofrecord players that playedonly a few songs, which hesaid was pretty “archaic”compared to how music isdownloaded and stored to-day.

For e-mails, Twitter andFacebook he said he hasnothing from the 1960s tocompare them to, which ismind-boggling in terms ofthe rapid advancement intechnology.

Joking aside, he warnedthat though technology iswonderful, it could be im-personal.

“Don’t let technology getin the way of those person-al relationships you have.”

He questioned the ever-changing role of technolo-gy in our lives and how thatwill affect the futures of thegraduates.

“As far as the learning oflife is concerned, you’vejust finished Kindergarten.What you know now andwhat you’re going to learn,there’s no comparison.”

Ross explained that to-day’s society is preparingits students for jobs thatdon’t yet exist, to use tech-nologies that haven’t beeninvented, in order to solveproblems that aren’t evenknown about yet.

“Our technologicalknowledge is doublingevery two years and youhave a choice,” he said.“You can be the leaders, thearchitects of change… youcan be along for the ride,but you won’t be control-ling it… or you can be aspectator.”

“The important thingright now though is thatthe choice is yours. Make awise choice for yourself.”

Following the awardingof diplomas, Senior NilsBabcock addressed thegraduated Class of 2013with a benediction.

“Thank you for giving usthe patience and guidanceto make it through the dif-ficult times in our highschool careers,” he said.“You were there for us dur-ing the trying times of con-struction and when we losta fellow student. Havingsupport of family andfriends has helped us solveour greatest problems.”

Barnstead selectmen hear from department headsBY ELIZABETH CANTRALL

Contributing Writer

BARNSTEAD — A largeportion of the June 18 meet-ing of the Barnstead Boardof Selectmen consisted ofmeetings with the depart-ment heads.

Fire Chief MarkTetreault was up first andgave the board an overviewof equipment, training,number of calls and per-sonnel issues.

Tetreault stated that thedepartment had receivednew pagers and that he wasin the process of program-ming and distributingthem. He also stated the firedepartment had purchasedsome new rescue rope.

According to Tetreault,a member of his depart-ment had applied to the Na-tional Fire Academy. Thisacademy is a six-day pro-gram in Maryland forwhich the federal govern-ment pays for everythingbut food.

Chief Tetreault alsomentioned that Gilmantonand Barnstead were doingcontinuing educationtraining for EMS together.

Tetreault stated thatsome of the department’srecent calls had been to afire in Gilmanton, a four-alarm fire in Strafford, acar accident on SuncookValley Road and a car acci-dent where a car had hit atree.

Vice-Chairman DavidKerr questioned the chiefabout equipment and mensent to the Strafford fire.

Tetreault said that hisdepartment was calledspecifically for the use ofthe tower. The tower en-ables firefighters to put wa-ter downward on to a firerather than going into thefire and putting it out.

Kerr asked if the equip-ment was sent “fullymanned.”

The chief stated theywent with what they had onhand, which was two peo-ple, but they could have

used four.“[The] problem with a

call department is that wemight have enough today,but not tomorrow,” re-sponded Tetreault to Kerr’squestions about manpower.

Highway departmentRoad Agent Chris Caraz-

zo was the other depart-ment head to meet with theboard on June 18.

According to Carazzo,pavement was down andhis department was finish-ing the shoulder work, butthe weather was not fullycooperating.

Carazzo went on to saythat North Barnstead Roadstill had some work to bedone on it and that ValeRoad would be his nextproject.

Selectman JamesBarnard questioned Caraz-zo if money set aside forpavement was all used upyet of if there was stillsome in that line item.

Carazzo said he did nothave the final numbers yet,but that he usually tried tokeep back $10,000 for unex-pected costs.

Kerr informed the boardthat he had noticed theshoulders on Parade Road,which had been paved a fewyears ago, seemed to havesome settling along theshoulders and he had askedCarazzo to take a look at itthe next time he was outthat way.

When discussing thepurchase of a new grader,Carazzo informed theboard that after using thedemos sent from bothCaterpillar and John Deerehe would like to go with theDeere.

Carazzo stated he felt theDeere was more “userfriendly” for more peopleand more importantly, thefuel economy was muchgreater with the Deere.

Standard operating pro-cedures

Police Chief Ken Borgia

did not meet with the boardthis week, but the boardmet with former selectmanPaul Vince to continue up-dating the police depart-ment’s standard operatingprocedures (SOPs.)

Vince was looking for ap-proval for the latest updatesmade to the SOPs after feed-back from Chief Borgia,but Kerr and Barnard hadsome questions.

Kerr questioned the con-

tent of some of the SOPs,while Barnard expressedconcern over how few therewere compared to previousyears.

In the end, Vince and theboard tabled the SOP dis-

cussion until the boardcould meet with Borgia re-garding their questions.

The Barnstead Board ofSelectmen meets everyTuesday evening at 5 p.m.in the Town Hall.

Survey results in, meeting set for July 10BARNSTEAD — Barn-

stead has received the re-sults of its residential opin-ion survey conducted bymail during the month ofApril. The questionnairewas developed by the Barn-stead Planning Board'smaster plan committee andthe compilation was doneby contract with The Sur-vey Center of the Universi-ty of New Hampshire-Durham. A public informa-tion meeting to review anddiscuss the significance ofthe results will be heldWednesday, July 10, at 7 p.m.at the Parade fire station.

The survey was intendedto offer residents' a chanceto give written input to thetown's master plan revi-sion. Approximately twothousand four-page ques-tionnaires were mailed inearly spring, and approxi-

mately one in five residentscompleted and returnedthem with their opinions oftown facilities and servicesand their preferences for fu-ture development.

Among the strongestpreferences expressed werethose concerning ruralcharacter, infrastructure,residential and small busi-ness development. For ex-ample, more than 60 per-cent expressed a preferencefor preserving Barnstead'sopen spaces, such as farms,fields and forests and forprotecting the town's wet-lands and wildlife habitat.More than half expressedpreferences to improve wa-ter quality in the town'sponds and streams, encour-age conservation and main-tain the town's rural char-acter, historic sites andbuildings.

On the subject of towninfrastructure, there werehigh preferences for devel-oping and following sched-uled plans for improving alltown roads and for improv-ing or replacing townbridges. A good majority ofresidents also favored in-creasing the town's pavingbudget.

On the subject of townrecreation and communitylife, a solid majority ex-pressed preferences for con-tinuing to maintain the out-door hockey rink, develop-ing trails for walking andsnowshoeing and having re-current community eventssuch as Old Home Day.

The 228-page report isavailable at Town Hall andis also at http://barn-stead.org/townbusiness/master-plan/documents/sur-vey-report.pdf on Barn-

stead's web site. There arethree main sections: a sum-mary with bar graphs thatcompare residents' opin-ions and preferences, a sec-tion of detailed tables thatcorrelate residents' an-swers with personal indicessuch as age, family size,years in Barnstead, etc. andan extensive section of res-idents' comments abouttown life, municipal servic-es and development plans.Residents are encouragedto review the report in ad-vance of the July 10 publicinformation meeting, andthen attend with their ques-tions and ideas for townplanning over the next 10years.

this point, Francoeur said“No.”

When questioned by res-ident Anura Guruge abouta commitment to get theseslides up on the web tomor-row, board member CarlosMartinez noted that theboard needed to be more ac-tive in keeping its Web siteupdated and wanted to addthe presentation to the web-site.

During public input, cit-izen Barbara Howard ques-tioned the forthrightness ofthe board stating that therehas been an asbestos man-agement plan in place sincethe 80s, but that in themonths prior to the townvoting on warrant articles,the citizens heard of as-bestos scares “ad nause-um.”

Principal SydneyLeggett suggested their as-bestos concerns came fromthe board’s plan to removethe carpet and the possibil-ity of that stirring up as-bestos.

Howard stated that rea-soning had not been previ-ously shared and she feltthe board was spreadingpropaganda to get the 18million dollar warrant arti-cle to fix the school to pass.

She asked that movingforward the board be morehonest.

Board member KristaArgiropolis told Howard,“We were fully transpar-ent.”

Town member DavidBreda also spoke duringpublic input.

“I want to apologize fornot paying attention, gener-ally, from now on I will payvery good attention,” beganBreda.

According to Breda herealized at the last meetingthat the school was accept-ing three and four year olds.

He questioned why tax-payers were responsible forthe education of preschoolchildren and why weren’ttheir parents paying forthese programs.

Argiropolis explainedthat there are mandatesthat make the schools re-sponsible for children withdisabilities from the age ofthree.

When Breda questionedif all of the children in theprogram were disabled, hewas told no, but that the oth-er children were acceptedinto the program as rolemodels for age appropriatebehavior.

Leggett explained to Bre-da that in each classroomthere are four “identified”

children with special needs,four “at risk” children andfour peer models putting atotal of 12 children intoeach class. There are four ofthese preschool classrooms.

Breda contended that heunderstood the program be-ing available for specialneeds children, but thoughtthat parents of the otherchildren should be payingfor these services ratherthan depending on the tax-payer.

“People around the statelook at our preschool pro-gram as a model,” statedLeggett.

Martinez told Breda hewould get him more infor-mation on exact costs of theprogram.

End of year expendi-tures

The board looked atmarking certain monies forspending on projects beforeJune 30, when unspentmoney will revert back tothe taxpayers.

Superintendent Bill Lan-der and the business ad-ministrator presented theboard with three projectsthey felt needed money des-ignated.

The first was new audiofor meetings. Martinez toldthe board he was an audioguy and that he felt the sys-

about how to move forwardwith the hiring of a firechief.

Jutton explained his rec-ommendation to delay theinterviewing until a prop-er panel could be formed.

A total of seven candi-dates will be interviewedfor the position.

Jutton wanted to makeit clear to the board thatthey have final say on whois hired as the fire chief.

There was a lengthy dis-cussion on who shouldmake-up of the advisory in-terview panel. The sevencandidates will be nar-rowed down to three for a

final interview.Member Jeffrey Kra-

tovil felt there wasn’t needfor a representative fromthe New Durham Fire De-partment to be on the pan-el.

The board agreed tohave a pair of current orformer chief officers, amember of the board of se-lectmen, the town adminis-trator and a member of theNDFD on the interview ad-visory panel.

Swenson was chosen toserve on the panel afterKratovil was voted off thepanel at an earlier meeting.The board agreed thatSwenson would serve onthe panel.

Kratovil suggested thatMRI should do a study of

fire department in the nearfuture.

Jarvis is hoping that in-terview advisory panel willhelp the town find the rightperson for the job.

“Hopefully, we can selectthe best individual who canbecome the fire chief,”Jarvis said.

Dot Veisel made an an-nouncement regarding acelebration that will beheld on July 31 in honor ofBarbara Hunter, the 2013Citizen of the Year, who re-cently passed. Veisel en-couraged people to contacther or Cathy Allyn regard-ing the event.

NH POW camp subject of next Wright Museum lecture

tem was fine it just neededsome fine tuning.

Lander originally statedputting $10,000 aside for thework would be sufficient,but under the advice ofMartinez, the board low-ered the number to $3,500.

The only member whodid not vote to reserve mon-ey for audio work wasMiller.

The second project wasthe moving of classroomsand renting storage unitswhile work is being done.

Argiropolis secondedthe motion for the sake ofdiscussion, because shewas not happy with the sug-gested cost of $20,000.

“I’m not liking the num-ber,” said Argiropolis.

However, after discus-sions the board voted on re-serving this money unani-mously.

The board seemed moreagreeable to the $20,000 af-ter it was shared that a sim-ilar move three years ago inthe 63’ wing cost $24,000.

The one item that left theboard at an impasse andwas finally decided to betabled and taken as a phone

vote was the proposed$75,000 for the moving ofthe modulars.

This would include pour-ing cement slabs and build-ing a roof structure of somesort for the new modularspot.

Lander stated he felt thecost would actually bemore, but that combinedwith capital reserve moneyanother $75,000 would pro-vide the “breathing room”they needed.

However, both Martinezand Argiropolis did not feellike they had enough infor-mation to make a decisionand wanted to table the is-sue, but they were told themoney had to be requisi-tioned by June 30.

“I feel rushed on this de-cision and I don’t like tomake decisions this way,”said Argiropolis.

She and Martinez con-vinced the board to hold offon the issue while theygathered more informationand the board would vote byphone regarding the issuethe following week.

School board deport-

mentMiller referred back to a

school board meeting onFeb. 2 when he used a fold-ing knife as a prop. He re-minded everyone that acomplaint was made to thestate police over the inci-dent and that after investi-gating the matter complete-ly the report was available.

The 69-page report con-cludes that “no threateningaction was used” readMiller.

It went on to affirm thatthe knife was only used as aprop.

“Mr. Miller’s actions ofdisplaying a knife during apublic meeting did not vio-late any codes,” continuedreading Miller.

He went on to state thathe was never warned or toldnot to do it again and thathe wanted this informationon the record.

The next ACS boardmeeting will be held on Ju-ly 8 at 6 p.m. to discuss onlybids on roof repairs. Thenext regular meeting is onJuly 22 at 6 p.m. The boardhas decided to start meet-ing in the school’s library.

New Hampshire’s mosttreasured and iconic land-scapes, starting with theWhite Mountains and in-cluding Mount Monadnock,Mount Sunapee, MountKearsarge and FranconiaNotch,” said Jane Difley,Forest Societypresident/forester. “MountMajor and the Belknapsmake up another belovedlandscape, the beautiful

backdrop for Lake Win-nipesaukee and we are ex-cited to be working in part-nership with the Lakes Re-gion conservation commu-nity to protect it.”

The Forest Society, theLakes Region ConservationTrust and other members ofthe Belknap Range Conser-vation Coalition view thefundraising effort as a firststep in a long-term commit-ment to conserving and en-suring the wise steward-

ship of more land in the re-gion. The Belknap Rangefeatures large, as-yet un-fragmented forests cover-ing more than a dozenmountains with extensivetrail systems and opportu-nities for hunting, fishing,hiking, snowmobiling andcross-country skiing. Be-sides their recreational,scenic and habitat value,these forests protect the wa-ter quality of Lake Win-nipesaukee.

“The Belknaps, alongwith the Ossipee Moun-tains and Red Hill, form thenatural setting for LakeWinnipesaukee. Protectingthese uplands has been animportant priority formany years,” Berry said.

The partners are aimingto raise the money to buythe properties by Dec. 1, sothey can begin closing onthe purchase and salesagreements that month.“We anticipate being able to

announce soon commit-ments of up to $385,000,leaving $1.12 million still tobe raised by Dec. 1,” Difleysaid.

Notes from Windy Hollow

Guineas are noisy backyard visitorsBY VIVIAN LEE DION

Contributing Writers

The sharp noise outsideis irritating just like carsscreeching on a racetrack.Our cat, Fluffy, expressesher displeasure as she sitson the windowsill. Her gut-tural yowls and fat yellowtail swishes back and forthsending a message thatsomething is wrong.

“What is it girl?” I mut-ter as I look out the window.

Imagine my surprise, astwo white guinea hens strutaround the yard, andscreech again.

“Wow, where did theycome from?”

Our little residentialneighborhood prohibitsfarm animals, but we call adistant neighbor who is agentleman farmer. “No, notmine,” he responds.

More inquiries are madewithout success and soon aweek goes by. The pair offeathered friends staysclose to the house and peckat the ground all day.

In the meantime, I de-

cide to look up the historyof Guinea hens and comeacross some interesting in-formation. One poultrysupplier describes them inthis way:

“Guineas are an inter-esting addition to yourfarm or acreage. They havegreat personalities.Guineas are the farm yardwatch dog, sounding thealarm whenever anythingunusual occurs. They willconsume large amounts ofinsects and seldom botheryour garden or flowers.They are easy and inexpen-sive to rise. Once started,they fend for themselves,living on insects, seeds, andgrasses. They control deerticks, wood ticks, grasshop-pers, box elder bugs, flies,crickets and all other in-sects. Their call will dis-courage rodents. They willkill snakes and will alertyou to anything unusual.

“Our customers keepGuineas for many differentreasons. They are becom-ing very popular for control

of the deer tick. Also peo-ple living in wooded areashave Guineas to keep thenumbers of wood ticks low.They will discourage ro-dents with their call andwill kill and eat mice andsmall rats. Some peoplewho live in areas wheresnakes are common tell mehow their Guineas will spotand find snakes so they cankill them before they causeany harm, and the Guineasthemselves will kill snakes.One customer usesGuineas as junkyardguards. He says if you use aguard dog, you may getsued if a thief gets hurt.But the Guineas roost inthe trees at night above thejunkyard and when an in-truder disturbs them, theymake a ruckus and he sim-ply turns on the yard lightsand the intruder fleesknowing that police are onthe way. He says losses areway down and no lawsuits.Other people keep Guineasbecause they enjoy havingthem around. They are

very curious and interest-ing birds, having quite apersonality. Others enjoyhaving the various colors,especially the new colorsthat are being developed.”

Concerned for their safe-ty, we finally call the localanimal control officer. Withnets in hand, he tries to cap-ture the illusive pair, butthey are smart little fellas.They fly to the nearestbranch.

Several more days pass,then one morning the un-expected, noisy visitors aregone. All is quiet, except forFluff ’s soft meows as shesits on the windowsillwatching the chirpingsongbirds. I’m more knowl-edgeable of Guineas andhope the pair has returnedto their owner’s yard,where they may continuewith their daily routine ofstrutting, screeching, andsearching for something toeat.

Vivian Lee Dion is awriter and speaker.

A luddite yields to realities of the future:ATVs are part of the recreational mix

NORTHCOUNTRYNOTEBOOK

By JOHN HARRIGAN

Whether you like themor not, ATVs are here tostay. And I’ll have to admitthat when they first ap-peared on the recreationalscene, I hated them, just asI hated the first snowmo-biles. One more gasolineengine between the knees.One more source of noise,and worse, abuse oflandowners’ willingness tokeep their property openfor others’ use. Where, Iwondered, would it end?Would there be any placesleft where you could getaway from it all?

Yes, if the snowmobilescould be channeled intocorridors and if visionar-ies could organize clubsand maintain trails andrein in rogue riders, whichthey did. The snowmobil-ing fraternity did an out-standing job of organizingand policing their ranksand forging lasting rela-tionships with landowners.

Eventually I obtained asnowmobile, an old nine-horsepower Skidoo thatwas previously owned byWillard Pike, who had oneof the first machines inColebrook. It had a topspeed of around 20, plentyfast for me and was usedmostly for hauling ice-fish-ing stuff out onto lakes andfor an annual foray intoCamp Five on the middlebranch of the Dead Dia-mond for Rabbit Camp,usually on Washington’sBirthday weekend, inwhich in between huntingrabbits (technically snow-shoe hares, or varyinghares, but sticking to thelongtime vernacular, rab-bits) we found time to shov-el off the roofs of the campand woodshed.

During the ‘70s and ear-ly ‘80s, the Pittsburg RidgeRunners snowmobile clubstaged a steak-feedfundraiser at Depot Camp,far up on Indian Stream.The camp, a pretty largebuilding, was the last rem-nant of logging campsthere. The steak cookoutresonated somehow, espe-cially with people from

Down Below. Snowmobileaficionados from all overNew Hampshire and be-yond flocked in, a good dealof them political high-rollers

For several years I wasamong the crowd that mo-tored in there on machinesold and new, and one yearVickie Bunnell and I head-ed in, she somehow main-taining her perch behindme on that old machine’sslippery seat. We stopped toshare hellos and stories anda maybe a bit more with alarge group of people whohad pulled off to the sideabout halfway up

I’d shut my old Skidoooff, and when we ready tohead on up and I pulled thestarter cord (no automaticelectric start back then, noreverse, pretty much nonothing), I pulled the cordright out of the mecha-nism.

Now, total transparencyhere. I can and have workedon and moved and run hugeprinting presses and can re-pair farm equipment, butI’m a helpless dolt when itcomes to gasoline enginesand the various apperta-nunsenses that make themgo. And so I was standingthere looking dumfoundedwhen along came FrankClark of Lisbon, one of myDad’s best friends when hewas growing up there.

Frank and his entouragepulled over and back hecame. “Need some help?”he said, knowing that I did.In 15 minutes flat he had mystarter repaired, usingtools he always carried, andwe were off, following himto the steak feed.

That is the kind of trailetiquette and camaraderieI think will evolve, veryquickly, with ATVing. Infact, it is already here.Many people carry stuff ontheir machines that enablethem to help others, tools,

tow-ropes, extra gas.Three or four years ago,

I caved in and purchased aused Honda four-wheel-drive ATV from a friend, anifty mid-size machine thathas a winch on the frontand, as I like to joke, some-times a wench on the back.It’s mostly for farm work,but occasionally I take it onthe trails and hope to use itto help the Metallak ATVClub (Colebrook’s newly or-ganized club) to ride thetrails and help maintainsigns, obedience to thelaws, decent trail etiquette,and good relations withlandowners.

When the various townsdecided, at town meetings,to allow this experiment,they opened stretches ofcountry roads (includingmine) and crafted routes in-to downtowns. Alreadythere has been a dis-cernible economic impact.We have the only circulartrail system East of theMississippi.

Before I wrote this, on aweekday morning, I sawthree groups of ATV riders,most of them doubled up,ride right past my frontlawn. They waved, and sodid I. They had duffelpacked on their racks, frontand back. This is the thirdweekend of the opening ofthis great circular trail, of-fering something that is notavailable anywhere else inthe country. These riderswere prepared to stayovernight in one of the sev-eral towns on the loop,which is a huge circuit. Itpromises to be a sea-changefor the area and its econo-my.

This is a trial year, andthe word is spreading farand wide in the ATV com-munity that if they don’tget it right, they’re doomed,no place to ride, because ifyou abuse landowners’trust, you’re dead. It’s the

same challenge faced by thesnowmobiling fraternity ahalf-century ago.

But based on my experi-ence, the ATV crowd willget it right. In fact, I’mthinking of setting up a hot-dog stand on my front lawn,

and maybe a bed and break-fast. It has a certain allure,Harrigan’s Hotdogs, andthen maybe a bit later, afterI’ve made a killing on thehotdogs, a sign saying ”Har-rigan Hilton.”

MY HONDA four-wheel-drive machine, decked out for Memorial Day and the upcoming Fourth of July. It’sused mostly for farm stuff, to reach blowdowns and felled trees where a tractor can’t go, and check fence-lines, but occasionally hits the trails, mainly so its rider can learn the policing. Also, it sometimes (unof-ficially) joins parades.

Nothing says summer like lots and lots of baseball

Every year I enjoy thechance to cover the Dis-trict 8 Cal Ripken tourna-ments. This year is no ex-ception, but this year ismuch easier than lastyear, that’s for sure.

Last year, one tourna-ment was held in NorthConway and the other was

held in Farmington, mak-ing it impossible to knowwhat was going on witheach of the teams I coverfrom day to day. This year,both tournaments are be-ing held in Wolfeboro, atThe Nick, so I can keeptabs on every team andhow things are progress-ing without having todrive between sites, aswas the case last year.

All told, I have five dif-ferent leagues sendingteams to the District 8tournament, as Ply-

mouth, Mount Washing-ton Valley, Suncook Val-ley and Carroll Countyare all sending both 10Uand 12U teams andKingswood is sending a10U team only.

This means, there arenine different teams tocover over the course ofthe three-day weekend. Isat down with the sched-ule on Friday and workedout a plan to cover each ofthe teams at least onceand a few of the teamsmultiple times. I worked

out a solid schedule inwhich I get to see the 10Uteams on Sunday and the12U teams on Saturdayand one game of each di-vision on Friday after-noon.

While I will only be cov-ering one game at a time,I can still be kept up todate on the rest of the ac-tion going on, being as allthe games are happeningin the one location.

Baseball has alwaysbeen my favorite sportand I love covering thegame. I especially enjoycovering the game at ayounger level becausethere seems to be a lot offun going on during thesegames. Yes, this is anelimination tournament,but at the same time, thekids are out having a good

time playing the greatestgame around.

Each year, I seem tohave a team or two thatmanages to get throughthe district tournamentand advance to the statetournament, which canreally up the competitive-ness a bit. But again, it’sabout having a good timeand I love that aspect ofthe game.

This weekend alsomarked the start of the Al-ton Legion baseball sea-son. Because of the CalRipken tournaments, Iwasn’t able to get to theAlton Junior Legionteam’s first home games,but will be doing so in thecoming weeks. Plymouthand Bristol continue withteams this season and afew local kids are also on

the new Meredith JuniorLegion team, so I will like-ly get the chance to see afew of those games alongthe way.

Summer is here and forme, nothing says summerquite like baseball. It’s offto a good start.

Finally, have a good day,Jennifer and Matt Jones.
