Henniker Fire & Rescue conduct a hazardous material drill at NECOn Wednesday, March 27, the New

England College Emergency Response Committee, in conjunction with the Hen-niker Fire & Rescue Department held a fire with hazardous material drill on the campus to test, practice, and evaluate emergency response procedures.

“This was a great opportunity for the town departments and area emergency responders to practice at the College,” said Chief Keith Gilbert, Henniker Fire Depart-ment. “By working together we were able to identify issues and debrief as a com-munity so we can operate more efficiently during a real situation.”

Lessons learned include securing a controlled location for the information officer to be able to send messages to the community in a timely manner, includ-ing input from building coordinators throughout campus, and structuring plans customized for the building in question.

“I was very pleased with the outcome of the drill and the way it was conducted,” said Bill Christiano, Director of Campus

Safety at New England College. “We thank all the agencies, faculty, and staff for their participation.”

Lessons learned from the drill will be

integrated into the College’s Emergency Response Guide, improving the speed and effectiveness of any future emergency response.

Shooting rangeNewport Planning Board hearing July 10th

Having received a Special Exception from

the ZBA in March, Newport's proposed shooting

range faces its next obstacle before the town's

Planning Board on July 10th.

A full house is expected when Sturm, Ruger

and the Mountain View Gun Club present their

proposal for a recreational shooting range on a

67 acre lot off the John Stark Highway.

A group of residents, calling themselves the

Newport Safety Coalition, petitioned the ZBA

for a rehearing but were denied. According to

their lawyer, the group has held off fi

appeal of that denial in Superior Court while

they participate in the Planning Board process.

However, they made it clear that "litigation

options" remain open in the future. Offi

Sturm Ruger have said they intend to purchase

the parcel to establish the shooting range and

then turn it over to the Club, which has been

without a range for several years.

emony in dedicating the town's new

Faced with cutting over $200,000 from its

municipal budget, Newport offi cials had con-

sidered eliminating the School Resource Offi cer

at the high school.

However, at Monday's Selectmen's meeting

Town Administrator Paul Brown told the Board

that he and Police Chief James Burroughs had

recently met with the Newport School Board

which on Thursday had approved picking up

49% of the cost of the position.

The Selectmen promptly and gratefully ac-

A group of more than 50 Girl Scouts have banded together on the Facebook page “I stand for Camp Chenoa” in an attempt to save the only overnight Girl Scout camp in New Hampshire. Since the page started it has gained more than 50 members and nearly 500 likes.Members are using the page to brainstorm ideas of how to keep the camp open for future Girl Scouts.

In September, citing declining at-tendance and girls choosing other Girl Scout program options, the Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains Council

announced plans to sell Camp Chenoa Girl Scout camp on Gregg Lake in Antrim. The 300 acre- property is currently on the market for $2.5 million. Profits from the sale will be invested into properties, including the remaining overnight camp, Camp Farnsworth, in Thetford, Vt.

Carrie Green, Council director of girl leadership experience, said Thursday the decision to close Chenoa was a difficult decision, but one that enables the Council to invest in its other properties and to pro-vide programming and improved accom-modations to future Girl Scouts.

Antrim Girls Scout camp for sale for $2.5 millionRash of thefts in Dunbarton

Dunbarton police are being kept busy with a rash of burglaries. They recently have received reports of 8 burglaries and 12 thefts, compared with only 2 burglaries and 4 thefts during the same period last year. In late March, a woman reported finding an unknown man leaving her garage with a several tools.. As Dunbarton police reported, "When the suspect was caught in the act, he got into his vehicle and ran the homeowner off the driveway. He then crashed into a snow bank several times while making his escape."

Henniker Fire Chief Keith Gilbert (rear) addresses the group.

Simonds Elementary School makes soupSimonds Elementary School held its annual Curriculum Fair

on March 19. This year, each family received a nutritious meal to take home. Families were able to sample four kinds of soup and then choose the jar they wanted to make at home. Soups includ-ed Friendship, Country, Italian Bean & Pasta and Potato. These healthy meals can feed a family of 4 for under $3.00 and are high in fiber, as dried beans of all kinds were the main ingredient. Jars were layered with dried ingredients, including beans, rice, pasta and many spices. This was a community effort that included donations or assembly by the United Church of Warner, Pillsbury Free Library, Warner 4H, Warner Historical Society, Simonds’ staff and several individuals from the community.

Bow voters overwhelmingly say "NO"It's back to square one for the Bow Selectmen if they are to con-

vince voters to repair the existing fire and police station or build a new safety complex next year. At Town Meeting, voters rejected two proposals — a $4.6 million plan to renovate the existing fire station and community center and $1.7 million proposal to renovate the existing police station — by 483-6 and 484-8 votes, respectively. Voters earlier had rejected a $6.8 million proposal by a 425-257 vote to build a new public safety building to house the fire, police and emergency management departments. Select-men have begun the discussion of where to head next, said Town Manager David Stack. The board is scheduled to discuss the matter at its next meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday April 8, at the Bow Municipal Building Meeting Room A.

The hormone oxytocin could play a role in treat-ing psychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, according to a review article in the September Harvard Review of Psychiatry. Oxytocin is a neuropeptide hormone, prob-ably most familiar for its role in initiating labor and breast milk flow in pregnant women. But a growing body of evidence in animals and hu-mans shows that it also plays an important role

in regulating social behaviors. In their review, researchers found evidence of oxytocin’s involvement in “social decision making, evaluating and responding to social stimuli, mediating social interactions, and forming social memories” in humans.

• • •Cognitive enhancers — drugs taken to enhance concentration, memory, alertness and moods — do not improve cognition or func-tion in people with mild cognitive impairment in the long term, according to a new study in the Canadian Medical Association Jour-nal. In fact, patients on these medications experienced significantly more nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and headaches. Mild cognitive impairment is a condition characterized by memory complaints without significant limitations in everyday activity. Between 3 and 42 per cent of people are diagnosed with the condition each year, about 4.6 million people worldwide. Each year about 3 to 17 per cent of people with mild cognitive impairment will develop demen-tia, such as Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers looked at eight randomized trials that compared one of four cognitive enhancers (donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine or memantine) to a placebo among patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. While they found short-term benefits to using these drugs on one cog-nition scale, there were no long-term effects after about a year and a half.

John Stark High School hosts French students - will travel to FranceJohn Stark Regional High School

recently hosted 24 students and four teachers from Toulouse, France, for 10 days. This is the very first time French students have traveled to John Stark for a visit with the high school. John Stark students will travel to France in April to complete this exchange experience. During their time here, French students stayed with Stark host families and shadowed classmates at school to gain a first-hand look at the United States and our culture.

The visiting French students also toured Boston and New York City during their stay. One of the highlights of their trip was witnessing the John Stark/Hop-kinton ice hockey playoff game at the Verizon Center.

“This exchange has been something that we have wanted to do for years,” said John Stark French Teacher Chandra Hackenberg. Madam Hackenberg first met the coordinating French teacher, Delphine Rossi, when she was studying at the University in Toulouse.

Their friendship grew and followed them as Madame Hackenberg moved on to teach at John Stark and Madam Rossi to a school in Grenoble. Early on they began student involvement with pen pal exchanges and over the years that has transformed into Skype conferences between students here and in France.

“Two years ago we organized a home stay with John Stark students with Madam Rossi's students in Nice. Our students came away from the experi-ence with a much greater appreciation

of the French language and culture,” said Hackenberg. “After much planning we were able to organize an exchange on both sides of the ocean this year, and it was wonderful to watch our students interacting with our French visitors. The entire school became involved,” contin-ued Hackenberg.

“John Stark students are so very for-tunate to have made new French friends. They are now even more enthusiastic and excited for their own coming trip and to learn more about the similari-ties and differences in our respective cultures,” said John Stark French teacher Patricia Chiquelin. “As we (as a society) evolve more and more into a global community, experiential learning in world cultures is vital to a full college experience. This type of exchange at the high school level provides John Stark students with an extra element as they

prepare for college and careers,” contin-ued Madam Chiquelin.

Twenty-one John Stark students will participate in a two-week trip to France in April. Their itinerary includes traveling the countryside, a visit to the rural city of Toulouse, and the metro-politan City of Lights—Paris. They will visit UNESCO World Heritage sites, art and history museums, historical sites including Normandy and D-day Beaches, and many of the world’s oldest and most majestic churches and cathedrals.

Students will learn what it is like to be a student in a French school and how a French family spends their weekends. This immersion experience is designed to build student French language confi-dence while speaking with native speak-ers. This trip is also designed to teach students the intricacies of international travel.

Firefighter hurt battling Dunbarton fireA Dunbarton home was destroyed by a fire overnight, and the

homeowner said a cigarette was to blame. The man said he was staining his kitchen floor and dropped a cigarette. Officials said the house and a small shed were destroyed. One firefighter was taken to the hospital after he fell on the ice and suffered a shoul-der injury. Crews said the house was located at the end of a long, private driveway, which made it difficult to access. It took about two hours to knock down the flames. The official cause of the fire remains under investigation.

This 8 week program is offered to boys/girls ages 6-12 looking to make new friends, take special trips and enjoy fun games and arts and crafts. Donations may be made in any amount, but $130 will send one child to Summer Day Camp for one week.

Western Ave/Main Street intersectionThe New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT)

will present proposed changes to the Henniker Selectboard for the Route 114, Western Avenue and Main Street intersection on April 15th at 6:15 PM at the Town Hall; of course the public is welcome. NHDOT collaborated with a group of town officials, town staff and citizens beginning last summer on methods to improve the safety of this intersection. NHDOT also hired an engineering consultant to design four different improvement concepts. NHDOT has ap-proved a concept that would provide a new sidewalk and elimi-nate one lane on the northern side of Main Street at the intersec-tion of Route 114. There would also be improvements made to the intersection's line stripping. If all goes well and improvements are approved, they will be incorporated into the Safe Routes to School grant-funded work being designed for Western Avenue and Maple Street. Construction is planned for 2015.

Survey addresses lack of space at Weare's Center Woods School The Weare District School Board will be

surveying the Weare community for their ideas on how best to remedy the severe lack of space at the Center Woods Elementary School. Surveys will be mailed to all Weare Town residents in early April. Recipients are being asked to return them to Center Woods no later than April 17. The survey may also be completed by going to www.sau24.org.

“When Center Woods Elementary School was built more than twenty years ago, the use of computers and internet was in its infancy,” said Marge Burke, Weare District School Board Vice Chair and Chair of the Space Needs Committee. “No one dreamed that every student would require access to a computer or that the population would change in a way that required highly skilled therapy during the school day,” continued Burke.

Today’s different demands require space (rooms) for computers and technol-ogy classes, occupational therapy, physical therapy, math support and media storage. Presently at Center Woods, these spaces have been carved into the library. Rooms that were originally intended for storage

have become classrooms. These make-shift spaces do not meet current code and Department of Education Standards.

After a yearlong study, the Center Woods Space Needs Committee has come up with three possible solutions to solve the space crunch at the school. Those solutions include: increasing class size to over 25 students per classroom, moving the 4th grade to the Weare Middle School (which presently has additional space), or building an addition to the Center Woods building.

Members of the Center Woods Space Needs Committee include: school board members Marjorie Burke and Board Chair Matt Thomas, SAU 24 Business Adminis-trator Kathleen Sargent, CWES Principal Jess Potter, Director of Special Education Melissa Caswell, CWES teachers Bonnie Rausch, Mary McNally, and Deb Lynch, CWES staff member Mike Muzzy, WMS Principal Mark Willis, parent and PTO President Jen Guillimette, and Weare com-munity member Sue Morin.

Construction of Sunapee's new library is well under way.

Sunapee Highway Dept. shifts to Plan B after Town MeetingHighway Director Scott Hazelton

wanted to update the Sunapee Selectmen on his plans for the existing equipment and vehicles at the Highway Garage that he did not replace because of the town vote this year.

The Town of Sunapee voted not to approve the lease purchase of a new road grader and new 6-wheel dump truck. They also voted not to purchase a new F350 pick-up truck or commercial leaf vacuum. The following are the plans for the use of the Town’s existing vehicles and equipment that was not replaced:

•Use existing grader for road grad-ing and drainage projects, and to repair any components when/if they fail. If the grader has a catastrophic breakdown (en-gine failure or transmission failure), then it would be necessary to lease a grader.

•An additional $10K was put in the budget for maintaining the existing 6-wheel dump truck, in the event the votes for the new dump truck failed. Ob-taining estimates for the items that may be necessary to replace on the truck.

•Purchase and install a black, steel

flatbed to replace the existing rusted truck bed and failed cross-members on the existing F350 as originally planned for this year. Also, replacing the rusted front fenders on the truck. Obtaining estimates for the aforementioned items.

•Will look for a used commercial leaf vacuum to purchase for our fall roadside cleanup program. If a used commercial leaf vacuum is not available, will continue to utilize existing fall roadside cleanup methods.

letters to the Editor

The Board of Trustees of Colby-Sawyer College has approved a new curriculum structure for its under-graduate academic degree program. Starting with the fall 2014 semester, Colby-Sawyer will change from a predominantly three-credit per course model to a predominantly four-credit per course model with an increase in both class time and out-of-class work time.

The change is intended to better foster engaged learning and offer more flexibility for study abroad and transfer students.

“The old model of education-as-infor-mation-delivery is outdated,” said Aca-demic Vice President and Dean of Faculty Deborah Taylor. “Why? Information is ev-erywhere. At first blush, facts are indistin-guishable from fictions. Today, more than ever, a person must be able to analyze, understand, evaluate and apply informa-tion in order to be truly educated, and must be able to create new information for a rapidly advancing future. Learning to do that takes time – for projects, group work and study, and individual mentoring – and carefully structured learning experiences.”

Students will take four courses instead

of five, and faculty will teach three courses instead of four per semester.

The foundation of Colby-Sawyer’s liberal arts-based education will be a theme-based, multi-disciplinary and writing-intensive First Year Symposium fostering student inquiry and discussion. The symposium replaces the current two-course Pathway experience taken in the first and fourth semesters.

“We’ve designed the new curriculum with at least one or two opportunities for study abroad built into the sequence of course offerings,” said Vice President Taylor. “We also designed the curriculum to allow transfer students to complete our programs on time.”

Students will benefit from an increased ability to double major, complete the Wes-son Honors Program requirements, ac-commodate a minor, and have additional opportunities for internships.

“We are proud of our ability to accom-plish this important work over a relatively short period of time,” said President Gal-ligan. “It is a tribute to our ability to be flexible and innovative.”

Colby-Sawyer College adopts new curriculum Photo of Colgate Hall at Colby-Sawyer College. Photo by Michael Seamans.

To the voters of Hillsborough and Deering, I would like to offer my thanks for another chance to serve the school com-munity.

The new national testing, budget constraints, and lack of local jobs will make school decisions challenging. Please

join us (the H-D and SAU-34 school-boards) with your thoughts and questions on our schools at "[email protected]". Board members have their e-mail addresses on the school website. Thanks, again!

Wasting little time since his appointment as New London Police Chief, Ed Andersen appeared before the Selectmen Monday seeking permission to reorganize his department and its admin-istrative functions.

The sergeants would share Case Management duties.The chief also recommended hiring an additional full-time of-

ficer, one currently working part-time for the Sunapee Police.Trusting in the recommendations of their new Chief, the

Board unanimously approved the requests.

Board delays repair bid on Whipple HallAt Monday's New London Select-

men's meeting, Frank Anzalone pre-sented the Board with a proposal to identify and evaluate construction issues at Whipple Hall.

Since there a several rooms that cannot be brought up to temperature with multiple sources of heat, additional attention will be paid to the thermal envelope. In addition to the thermal envelope and other unknown issues, an effort will be made to address the causes of the deteriorating sally port walls, sally port roof, roof leaks, cause of slates fall-ing off slate roof, open penetrations at the exterior brick, seasonal tripping hazards in the police station, lack of ventilation in the showers, leaks at lower level, radio equipment and batteries in sprinkler

room, mold in judge's room and water pipes in the cold attic.

This Investigation and Reporting Phase would cost $6,420, in addition to the $2,800 already approved for a mechanical systems study.

The actual Repair Design, Bidding and Construction Phase is estimated at between $2,500 - $10,000.

The project is geared to bringing Whipple Hall to a point that the building will consume less fuel, be more comfort-able for the occupants, easier and less costly to maintain and will extend the life of the building.

The Board was appreciative of An-zalone's work, but felt it needed to secure two additional bids before awarding the contract.

A Night of Fine Arts was held at Newport Middle and High School Gymnasium on March 24th. Students' art work was on display and music was provided by the Newport Jazz Band, Middle School Chorus (left photo); High School Chorus (right photo) and Band. Gayle Hedrington photos.

The Henniker Selectmen conducted two public hearings at Tuesday's meet-ing. With no members of the public attending, the Board unanimously ap-proved the first reading and scheduling them for second reading and adoption at their next meeting.

The first hearing was on changes to the Employee Safety Program as recom-mended by the Safety & Loss Prevention Committee. By adopting minor changes to the Town's Slip & Fall Policy and

its Alternative Duty for Injured Work-ers Policy the town will save 2.5% on its Primex insurance. In other business, member Scott Osgood suggested that the engineers on the Western Avenue Bridge project be urged to accelerate their time-table so the project could be put out to bid by next Town Meeting. The Bard also agreed to form a committee to define the responsibilities and interview candidates for the new part-time Human Services position funded at $7,500 per year.

Bradford firefighters were unable to save a home at 200 Center Road, in part because much of the Deapartment's heavier equipment could not cross a

small non-rated bridge to reach the fire. The cause of the fire remains

unknown because of the extent of the damage.

Policy changes will save Henniker on insurance costs

Small bridge limits Bradford firefighters' response

Warner to study economic development projects

Bradford to adopt Capital Improvement Plan

Warner Town Administrator Jim Bingham exported that the Southern NH Planning Commission and Central NH Regional Planning Commission are coming together to compile and submit a comprehensive economic development strategy that would be sent to the US Economic Development Administration.

The Federal level is looking at areas that are rural and seeing what can be done with respect to public projects that would enhance/encourage further economic development regionally. There is an April 15 deadline for submitting a proposal, some suggestions have been received from the Planning Board and CNHRPC.

The Planning Board provided the fol-lowing suggestions:

• Park & Ride expansion or relocate facility

• Attract bus service • Municipal water & sewer Exit 7 area • Parking for down-town area which could be utilized for Fall Foliage Festival • Senior Center facility • Increased water supply for Exit 9

Bingham would like the Boards ap-proval so he can create some projects for review before they are sent out on April 15th. Selectman Carson asked what proj-ect on the list would stand out the most and Bingham said expanding the water & sewer is a classic project for economic development, also what makes sense is expanded parking downtown. However, the feds are trying to link regional proj-ects such as broadband. The Board gave its approval.

Marcia Keller requested that the Bradford Selectmen sign the contract with Central NH Regional Planning Commission (CNHRPC) to produce a Capital Improvement Plan for the town of Bradford. Town Meeting approved $3000 for the preparation of this report. The process consists of 7 Monthly meet-ings with the Town’s Department Heads beginning in April.

The timeline projects the report will be presented to the Planning Board for approval at the end of October and com-plete by December 31, 2014. The project will need a town coordinator and the selectmen requested Cheryl Behr act on the town’s behalf.

The Board also voted 2-1 to allow

employees and their families to bid on Town equipment to be disposed of prior to offering it to the public or auction. In the current case of the disposal of one of the town trucks, the amount of trade offered was $4500+/-. An offer has been made by a family member for $7,000. John Pfeifle and Sonny Harris vote in favor of offering surplus equipment to town employees first. Harry Wright voted against – instead in favor of general public offering.

The Selectmen voted to send a letter to the Town of Henniker to continue to explore ambulance coverage. Mark Gold-berg reported to the Board of Selectmen the current status, and the possibilities of forming a Fast Squad were discussed.

The 2014 campaign season has begun with visits by Republican candidate for US Senate Jim Rubens greeting Barry Mcfarland at Morse's Sporting Goods in Hillsborough (left); and Senator Jeanne Shaeen meeting with firefighters in Claremont (right).

Other project topics include: the effectiveness of UV protectant detergents, how does surface area affect drag, which gender has a better sense of smell, and what substance best pre-vents the oxidation of fruit.

No consensus at Sunapee visioning sessionSunapee residents used electronic polling devices to tabulate

their opinions on the various options on what to do with the old Abbott Library. The only consensus was the majority of those in attendance wanted to keep the building in its original form. Dave Montambo said he felt the answers were skewed because of the political makeup of those in attendance. Various ideas were presented from moving the building at a cost of $150,000 – $215,000, using the school for special placement students as Su-napee School District Superintendent Russell Holden expressed, or using it as an archival library as Sunapee’s Historical Society’s President Becky Rylander would like to see. Other ideas presented were a senior citizen center and an arts center. John Augustine said the town would not only have to pay the Library Trustees their 75 percent portion of the building but would also have to pay for the upkeep of the building each year.

Shaved heads fundraiser for cancer researchStudents, firefighters and volunteers had their heads shaved

Saturday at Proctor Academy in Andover to raise money for cancer research. More than 50 people volunteered to have their heads shaved. The money raised will go to the St. Baldricks Foundation, which funds more research grants than any other organization.

The event raised more than $23,000. The Andover Fire Department led the way, raising $8,500. Catherine Dohney, a freshman at Proctor Academy, said having her long blonde locks cut off wasn’t an issue. “I’m happy I got to help, donating that hair to Locks for Love so some child will have a wig out of my hair,” Dohney said. “Just a lot of happy emotions. Happy. I got to do this.” The fundraiser honored two local children who are battling cancer – 3-year-old Adriana of Newport and 2-year-old Aybel Martin of Goffstown.

Colby-Sawyer College recognized as a "Fair Trade College" Colby-Sawyer College has been recog-

nized as a Fair Trade College by Fair Trade Campaigns, a non-profit partnership advo-cating Fair Trade for farmers, workers and artisans across the globe. Colby-Sawyer is the first private college in New Hampshire, and the second college in the state, to earn the certification. There are 113 Fair Trade colleges and universities in the nation.

Colby-Sawyer’s certification has its origins in Associate Professor of Business Administration Christopher Kubik’s spring 2012 Fair Trade course. Inspired by the course and recognizing that Fair Trade was missing from Colby-Sawyer’s sustainability campaign, Business major Amigo Khadka ’14 decided to take action on behalf of the college.

“While sustainability practices are the epitome of Colby-Sawyer, there is more to it than going green and decreasing our carbon footprint,” said Khadka. “Fair Trade takes sustainability to the next level by adding a social justice component. “I am thrilled for the college and thank ev-eryone for their hard work.” Colby-Sawyer President Thomas C. Galligan Jr. accepted

the certification alongside Vice President for Student Development and Dean of Students David Sauerwein.

Trade is about making choices. We are really proud that you made the choice that we should become a Fair Trade college … and we are really happy that we chose to agree with you,” said President Galligan.

“The challenge is to maintain this choice and to do more.” Colby-Sawyer’s devotion to global environmental stability has been demonstrated through the college’s green initiatives. With a goal of a carbon-neutral campus by 2050, Colby-Sawyer has in-stalled one of the largest solar photovoltaic arrays in the state, a wind turbine.

Galligan Jr., Jenisha Shrestha '14, Sydney Hougrand '16, Sudeshana Karki '15, Arya Poudel '16, Dean of Students David Sauerwein, Prithul Karki '16, Student Government President and Fair Trade Banana Nick Ciarlante '14, Associate Professor of Business Administration Christopher Kubrik, Sustainability Director and Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Jennifer White '90, and Amigo Khadka '14.
