New Durham salon cutting for cancer NEW DURHAM — Sa- lon at Old Bay, located at 301 Old Bay Rd. in New Durham, will be holding its first “Cuts for Cancer” event on Saturday, Oct. 24, and Monday, Oct. 26, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The salon owners have a relative currently fighting cancer, making this a cause near and dear to their hearts. As a community, they have re- alized that together, great things can happen, and they are excited by this op- portunity to reach out for this worthwhile cause.

Alton man indicted for threatening to blow up police barracks BY DAYMOND STEER Carroll County Independent OSSIPEE — An Alton man who in August allegedly threatened to kill a State Trooper and an Ossipee Po- lice Officer and blow up the State Police barracks in Tamworth has been indicted on three misdemeanor level criminal threatening charges. A grand jury handed down the indictments against David Greenwaldt, 19, of 14 Juliet Lane, in Al- ton, on Oct. 3. An indictment isn’t an indication of guilt. Rather, it means the grand jury believes there is enough evidence to proceed with a trial. The events that led to the indictments began around 1 a.m. on Aug. 13 when Os- sipee Officer Shane Emer- son arrested and charged Greenwaldt with driving while intoxicated and un- lawful possession of alco- hol, according to court papers filed by State Trooper Michael O’Neill. O’Neill writes that he was called to the scene to assist Emerson with the trans- portation of another indi- vidual who was also arrested. Once in Emerson’s cruiser, Greenwaldt began hurl- ing obscenities and threats at O’Neill and Emerson. “You don’t know who you’re dealing with, I know what you look like (expletive),” police documents quote Greenwaldt as saying. “I’m going to find you and (expletive) kill you. I’m going to shoot you with my nine (millimeter gun).” He also threatened Emer- son in the same fashion, according to police papers. Police had to transport Greenwaldt to Huggins Hos- pital in Wolfeboro because he injured himself by strik- ing his head into the interi- or of Emerson’s cruiser. Once at Huggins, he began threatening five members of the hospital staff. “I’m going to come back and shoot you all, Bang! Bang! Bang,” Greenwaldt allegedly said. Then Greenwaldt allegedly turned his attention to threatening the officers again, according to the court papers. This time, police say he threatened to blow up the police barracks with Trooper O’Neill inside it. He also made more un- usual threats. “I’m going to head butt your jaw right off your face,” Greenwaldt allegedly said. Greenwaldt was released from the hospital and taken to Carroll County’s jail in Ossipee where he consented to an intoxilyzer test with a result of .14 BRAC. As of Tuesday, Oct. 13, Green- waldt was being held on $10,000 personal recogni- zance bail because he is ap- parently unable to pay for an electronic monitoring system if released, according to the county attorney’s office. Criminal threatening is a misdemeanor offence that’s normally dealt with in Dis- BRENDAN BERUBE ■ Keep your eye on the ball A light-up bouncing ball found by her mom, Tiffany (right) was the focus of little Isabella’s attention during Tuesday morning’s Li’l Pesaukees playgroup session at the Alton Bay Community Center.

SEE INDICT PAGE A13 Residents push for openness in town government BY BRENDAN BERUBE Staff Writer ALTON — Voicing concerns about what they saw as the deliberate exclusion of voters from town affairs, sev- eral residents encouraged the board of selectmen Mon- day night to allow more public involvement in their decision-making. Re-iterating concerns she raised during the board’s Sept. 30 meeting about business being conducted out of the public’s sight, resident Ruth Messier asked during the first of Monday evening’s two public input sessions when the board last reviewed its backlog of non-public meeting minutes or voted to unseal them. Given the potential for a change in the makeup of the board after any town elec- tion, Messier also asked whether former board members were still expected to keep information they were given in non-public sessions confidential. It would not be fair, she said, for some private citi- zens to be able to openly dis- cuss privileged information that the rest of the town had no access to. Selectmen Steve McMa- hon and Pat Fuller replied that former board members are expected to uphold the confidentiality of material discussed behind closed doors. Suggesting that the board consider setting a policy un- der which they would regu- larly review and, if appro- priate, release sealed minutes, Messier shifted her focus to Ryan Heath’s recent promotion to the position of chief of police. Commenting that former chief Phil Smith was making roughly $80,000 a year based on his previous experience, and that she hoped the younger Heath would be making less than that, Messier asked whether the board had agreed upon his salary prior to its decision to promote him. Explaining that Heath’s salary was not discussed ahead of time, and was, in fact, not set until two or three weeks after his promotion, Fuller announced that he will enter the police chief ’s step-and-track schedule at a Step 3, and will be paid just over $76,000 a year. Resident Peter Keen asked the board to clarify exactly where Heath was situated on the step-and-track schedule. McMahon replied that the scale goes up to Step 10, meaning that Heath “isn’t even at the halfway point yet.” Confirming with Town Administrator Russell Bai- ley that written policies are on file for all town depart- ments, Keen asked whether the town had a policy for Residents raise questions about committee’s decisions staffing and equipment ex- penses in addition to the ini- tial construction costs, Howard suggested that the Twombly property might be seen as another "long-term burden" by a community that she felt was not in favor of higher taxes. "Was this committee nev- er told that doing nothing was an option?" she asked, adding that she works with a number of low-income people in the area who are "get- ting it from all sides." Given the current state of the economy, she said, dis- trict officials should be look- ing for ways to save money, rather than spend it. Stating her belief that the condition of the building should not dictate the quali- ty of education students re- ceive, Howard suggested that with the construction indus- try and the housing market at a virtual standstill due to the recession, the community might not outgrow Alton Central as quickly as school officials originally thought. Stating that he agreed BY BRENDAN BERUBE Staff Writer ALTON — The Alton School Board's Buildings and Grounds Committee found itself confronted during its Oct. 15 meeting with tough questions from a group of residents voicing concerns about its decision- making process. Stating that a number of concerns had risen in her mind after reading recent press reports about the committee's decision to renovate and expand the Alton Cen- tral School and its interest in the Twombly property as a possible site for athletic fields, Barbara Howard asked which state statute re- quires an elementary school to have a minimum of 18 acres of land. Superintendent Kathy Holt explained that the re- quired minimum acreage is a standard imposed by the state Department of Educa- tion, and not a matter of state law. Asked by Howard whether the committee had looked at the land behind Water Industries, Inc. on Route 28 as an alternative to the Twombly property, Holt replied that it had, and had determined that the site would be "inappropriate" for an elementary school. Explaining that she did not want to see the Alton Central renovations turn in- to a repeat of what happened during the construction of Prospect Mountain High School, when she said the price tag kept rising as voters were asked to approve SEE COMMITTEE PAGE A13 SEE SELECTMEN PAGE A12
