“your local weekly since 1868 a tradition worth keeping”...

The family of the 35-year-old man shot to death last year by a Weare police officer has agreed not to sue the town in exchange for $300,000. A settlement agreement was signed June 10, and the town’s insurer, Primex, has given the money to Michelly Rodriguez of Nashua, who is the administrator of the estate of Alex Jose Cora de Jesus. De Jesus was killed late Aug. 14 while fleeing a drug bust at Lanctot’s Plaza on Route 114. Two police officers opened

fire, striking the unarmed DeJesus fatally in the temple. After an eight-month investigation, Of-ficer Nicholas Nadeau was absolved of criminal charges, but an AG's report said it could not determine whether Nadeau had been justified.

The report was highly critical of the police department, insisting that the five officers involved had no real plan going in, and that the ranking officer, former sergeant Joseph Kelley, should have called for backup.

As has been expected for over a year, a civil lawsuit has ben filed against former Police Chief David Seastrand and the Town of New London. David Seastrand resigned as New London's police chief in April 2013 after a then 19-year-old freshman at Colby-Sawyer College charged Seastrand with picking her out of a crowd, personally arresting her on an allegation of underage drinking and offered

to make her case go away if she allowed him to photograph her naked, attorney Richard Lehmann said.

The woman refused and contacted the Attorney General's Office. After Seastrand re-signed, three more women came forward with similar stories. The lawsuit alleges that Seast-rand and the town of New London violated her rights to due process and equal protection.

A Marine is mournedGreenfield mourns the loss of local resident Brandon Garabrant, who died Friday, June 20, 2014 in Afghanistan at the age of 19. Town flags are at half-staff to honor his sacrifice and his commitment to our freedom. We mourn the loss of Brandon and so many others who have given their lives in the Middle East. We hope that the flag at half-staff reminds our resi-dents that the cost of our continued freedom is not cheap. In the wake of the recent D-Day commemorations, we trust that future generations will honor the sacrifice of men like Brandon in the same light. An entire town’s condolences go out to his fam-ily and friends. See more on page 15.

Hillsboro Lions Club awards highest honor to a Henniker RotarianThe Hillsboro Lions Club celebrated

another successful year with Changing of the Guard Banquet and awards ceremony at the American Legion Hall. Sally Jones was installed as the Club's 61st President.

Veteran Lion Herb Frederick was recognized as a Granite States Fellow, the highest award presented by NH Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation.

The highlight of the evening was the presentation of a Melvin Jones Fellowship, the highest recognition awarded by Lions Clubs International to non-Lion Joyce Bosse. A past president of the Henniker Rotary Club, Bosse is also a Paul Harris Fellow, the highest recognition presented by Rotary International.

"I'm so proud of Joyce and pleased that our club would recognize her contribu-tions," said husband Leigh Bosse, a former Club President and Melvin Jones Fellow himself. "I joined the Lions Club in 1975

and at virtually every project, from the Senior Dinner, Christmas Baskets, Balloon

Fest, Harlem Wizards and Circus, she has worked right along with us."

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

Veterans Memorial on Saturday. See

New London has major drug bust

On June 18 Chief Edward Andersen was conducting a directed patrol at the Park and Ride located just off Route 103A in New London.

The Police Department has been receiv-ing numerous complaints about criminal activity in this area.

While driving through the parking lot Chief Andersen observed a male later iden-tified as one: Bryan T. Dalrymple, DOB: 03/11/1979 acting suspicious. Under fur-ther investigation and based on evidence gathered at the scene he was arrested on felony drug charges. He is scheduled to appear in court in August.

Vice District Governor Bruce Trevillini (l) presents Joyce Bosse (r) with a plaque signifying her selection as a Melvin Jones Fellow.

Newbury couple arrested on felony Arson chargesA Newbury couple was arrested for

arson on Wednesday afternoon for a June 9 fire on Stoney Brook Road in Newbury.

The State Fire Marshal’s Office charged Douglas McCahon, 58, with one count of Felony Arson, and one misde-meanor charge of Burning Without A Permit and Rosemarie Digilio, 47, was charged with one count of Felony Con-spiracy to Commit Arson.

McCahon was ordered held on $5,000 cash bail and Digilio was released on $10,000 personal recognizance in Clare-mont District Court. Newbury property re-

cords lists Digilio as the owner of 65 Stoney Brook Road. The couple was ordered not to have contact with each other while await-ing trial.

The State Fire Marshal’s Office wishes to thank the Newbury Police and Fire Departments and the Plainfield Police Department for their assistance during the course of the investigation.

Fire Marshal Degnan would like to re-mind our citizens that arson is not a victim-less crime, and that any intentionally set fire can jeopardize the safety of the public and our police and fire first responders.

A Hopkinton man faces six charges after he was accused of slipping out of handcuffs and leading Franklin Police on a chase for hours. Derek Wright appeared in court Wednesday morning and was ar-raigned on two felonies and four misde-meanors. Police said Wright was picked up on a probation violation Tuesday at a park in Franklin. As the cruiser was pull-ing into the police station, Wright slipped out of one of his handcuffs, opened the cruiser door and jumped out of the ve-hicle. Wright ran through town and went

to the apartment of a friend who refused to hide him. Wright then hid on the porch of a house on Pleasant Street where he got into a scuffle with the homeowner, who tossed him into the back yard. Wright was later arrested after being bitten by a state police K-9, officials said.

The charges include escape and theft, for taking the handcuffs. In court, Wright said his girlfriend is nine months preg-nant, and he wanted to be there for the birth of his child. Wright's bail was set at $50,000.

Henniker Community School takes a History walkFor 20 years, Henniker Community

School PE Teacher Peg Keeler has led third grade students on the Henniker History Walk teaching students the value of exercise, town history, and commu-nity. Each year the third graders go on walks around Henniker during their PE time to help prepare for the final 10+ mile walk. They also spend a great deal of time studying about Henniker history with their teachers and preparing pre-sentations about various historical sites in town. In addition to the PE walks, the students also gather as an entire grade for several practice walks in prepara-tion for the big day. This year the walk was held on Friday, June 13—a day that saw quite a bit of rain, but never damp-

ened any spirits. The total mileage for the 2014 Henniker History Walk—12.6 miles.

Editor’s note: After 28 years teaching at HCS, Peg Keeler is retiring at the end of this school year.

The whole 3rd grade stopped at Pats Peak to eat their lunch. The thoughtful folks at the Peak offered a dry spot for a lunch break.

Quick response quells Newport fireNewport Fire Department responded to a fire that broke out in

the old Green Mountain Sportswear building on 35 Spring Street just before 7:30 pm on Sunday.

Newport Fire Chief Wayne Conroy says the firefighters met a lot of debris when entering the structure. The fire at first was thought suspicious but a cause of the fire was found. There was little struc-tural damage but the power has been shut off and will not be turned back on until the building is brought up to code. The building has fallen into disrepair in recent years and has been a second hand shop. The current tenant, Patrick Haywood, was unavailable for comment on the future of his for shop.

Franklin man arrested twice in a day Franklin Police say they arrested the same man twice on Tuesday.

Police say they arrested Derek Wright on a probation violation in the afternoon. While Wright was being transported he escaped by freeing his hand from the handcuffs and opened the door. Wright then fled on foot and several law enforcement agencies were called to help with the search. A K-9 unit found him, and he was appre-hended after he ran through back yards and entered two homes. Wright is facing burglary charges along with several other charges.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has ap-proved the first adjuvanted vaccine for the pre-vention of H5N1 influenza, commonly known as avian or bird flu. The vaccine, Influenza A (H5N1) Virus Monovalent Vaccine, Adjuvanted, is for use in people 18 years of age and older who are at increased risk of exposure to the H5N1 influenza virus. Avian influenza is an infectious disease of

birds caused by certain influenza A viruses. Most avian influenza A viruses do no infect people. However some viruses, such as H5N1, have caused serious illness and death in people outside of the U.S., mostly among people who have been in close contact with infected and ill poultry. When people do become infected with H5N1, about 60 percent die, according to the World Health Organization. H5N1 is an influenza virus with pandemic potential because it continues to infect wild birds with occasional outbreaks of influenza disease in poultry populations, and most humans have no immunity to it.

Little Nature Museum joins kearsarge indian Museum in warnerThe Little Nature Museum and the Mt.

Kearsarge Indian Museum are pleased to announce that, with the signing of a five-year lease, The Little Nature Museum has found a new home, and will immediately begin renovating half of the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum’s barn, the site of its new loca-tion, directly across the parking lot from the Indian Museum. This space, 100% handicap accessible, will more than double that of The Little Nature Museum's previous location in Hopkinton, and will provide more room for groups, interactive and hands-on nature activities, exhibits, and collections. As a family nature center, The Little Nature Mu-seum will continue to offer environmental education, while complementing the exhibits and programs at the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum. The Little Nature Museum plans to develop two interpretive trails on conser-vation land not far from the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum’s Medicine Woods Trail. The Little Nature Museum is scheduled to open later this summer.

The Little Nature Museum will be the fifth museum in the Town of Warner. The four other museums include: the Mt. Kear-sarge Indian Museum, the New Hampshire

Telephone Museum, the Warner Historical Society and Upton Chandler Museum, and the Fireman’s Museum. All of these muse-ums are a short distance from I-89.

3rd Annual Arts on the Green in New LondonHow does one collect fine art? You could go to New York’s or

Boston’s finest galleries to peruse, inquire, meet the artist, make the selection, and then finally make the purchase. …Or you could go to the Arts on the Green this July 5 in New London. The 35 plus juried artists are among the best in New England, representing various mediums and genres. “These are among the best artists you’ll find anywhere, many winning local, regional, and national awards, right here in our back yard!” says Jean Connolly, Chair of the Center for the Arts. “Why travel to New York or Boston when you can view outstanding artwork, see such a variety of art and crafts in one place, and meet the artists right here in New London?” This is the third Arts on the Green Art Show, which the Center for the Arts hosts each year. “The jurying process is critical to a good show,” says coor-dinator, artist, and chair of the event, Sheila Psaledas.

(BPT) - From barbecues and games of bocce to parties and candlelit dinners, your outdoor space can be a hub for entertaining friends and family. "Try to create a living room for your outdoor space," says Kate Anthony, owner of Kate & Company Design Stu-dio and Interior Design instructor at The Art Institute of California - San Diego, a campus of Argosy University. Whether you have a small patio or sprawling backyard, interior design experts from The Art Institutes system of schools provide six simple tips for making the great outdoors a great place to eat, play and entertain.

1. FoCAL poiNTSEdward Varias, owner of E.V. Design says a focal point brings

everyone together, and can include furniture, a fountain, a fireplace, or any piece that will provide a "wow" factor. An outdoor rug can serve as a focal point and help define an area, and a fire pit makes a great place for guests to gather.

2. SEATiNg gRoupS"Define the space for the type of entertaining you need," says

Varias. Determine the size of your space, the number of people you will typically be entertaining and whether you will use the space for eating, drinking and socializing, or playing games. In a larger space, you can mix dining, hanging out and garden spaces to provide your guests with more areas to enjoy. For a small space, seating can be a simple bistro table and two chairs.

3. ViSTAS"Select several vistas or view points for people to explore depend-

ing on the space; utilizing the space in several locations creates gath-ering areas, such as a garden to explore or seclusion for meditating," says Varias. Anthony encourages people to think about creating areas for games such as bocce and says that seating or rugs can help establish designated areas without fences or barriers.

4. LANdSCApiNgAnthony recommends hiring a professional landscaper as they

will be able to tell you what plants are appropriate for your climate. If a landscaper isn't in your budget, Varias encourages you to take advantage of the people at your local home and garden stores. They will be able to make recommendations based on your climate and the look you are trying to achieve. Plants can help add color, style and definition to your space, and Anthony says not all plants need to be in the ground. "You can create great little vignettes throughout the yard by using varying sizes of planters." Potted plants can also be brought in during the winter to keep them looking great year

of nighttime event. Varias recommends providing ample lighting for your focal points and providing a mix of electric light-

ing and ambient lighting such as candles and candelabras. Other easy DIY lighting includes strings of lights, which can be used year-round and simple solar lights.

6. ACCESSoRiESAnthony recommends bold accessories

for outdoor spaces. Your starting palette will be very neutral, with a lot of greens and browns, and you can add pops of color with pillow cases or colored plants. Storage is an-other area to consider. You won't want your hose and garden tools lying around the yard.

Publisher’s Perspective by Leigh Bosse

Abusing the public trust with taxpayer dollarsIn last week's Publisher's Perspective,

titled as above, I was highly critical of Congresswoman Annie Kuster's abuse of her franking privileges. Little did I know of the extent of the abuse until I read the condensed story below which ran in the Union Leader. Leigh Bosse.

kuster’s spending on mail to exceed almost all

other members of CongressU.S. Rep. Ann McLane Kuster has

spent six times more than the rest of the combined New Hampshire delegation to Congress on taxpayer-funded mass mail-ings and communications, according to a review of reports submitted by Congress.

Kuster, D-N.H., has spent about $293,000 in taxpayer dollars on so-called “franked” mass mailings and communica-tions since January 2013, according to the House of Representatives’ statements of disbursement, which are provided quar-terly, and figures provided by her office.

Of the other three Granite State del-egates to Congress, Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, D-N.H., followed Kuster in the use of franking privileges, spending $46,268.83 since returning to office in January 2013. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., has spent $1,393.37 on such mailings in that time, while Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., has spent nothing, according to reports compiled by the Senate and posted online semiannually.

Franked mail is, at its simplest, mail from members of Congress that is intended to pro-vide constituent or official correspondence. It features a line reading something similar to the line that appears on Kuster’s most recent mailing: “This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense.”

That line, according to critics of the use

of franked mail, is just about the only dif-ference between the type of mailer sent re-cently by Kuster — a glossy, full-color, large postcard featuring pullout quotes and five photos of Kuster that asks people to visit her website and sign up for an e-newsletter — and promotional campaign mailers. “Rep. Kuster’s recent mailer is shameless campaign mail, and in particular is an af-front to New Hampshire taxpayers, coming as a glossy postcard with five pictures of her,” said Greg Moore, state director for Americans For Prosperity, a libertarian and conservative policy organization.

Kuster’s figure outpaces that of her pre-decessor, former Republican Rep. Charles Bass, who spent $249,585 in the first 18 months of his last legislative session, which was 2011-12, but is not as much as former Republican Rep. Frank Guinta, who spent $429,096.37 in his first 18 months in office.

“Recently, members of Congress have used franked mass mailers as a way to use taxpayer dollars to pay for image-enhanc-ing puff pieces to promote their reelection. This is absolutely an abuse of the trust that the citizens who they claim to represent gave them when they put them in office,” Moore said. “Moreover, it’s not a Democrat or Republican problem. We’ve seen both sides of the aisle use these mailers in a way that might conform to ethics guidelines, but is an abject insult to the public, who know campaign mail when they see it.”

In 2010, Guinta criticized Shea-Porter’s use of mass mail as an “abuse of a rep-resentative’s franking privileges,” but a review of the mailing system in 2012 found that Guinta’s office spent more money on franked mail than any member of the House in 2011, leading to accusations of hypocrisy from the New Hampshire Demo-cratic Party.

dear Editor:Summer is here! “Finally,” I think we

all can agree! I want to thank those of you who responded to our request last month for donations to help support the Hopkin-ton Recreation Summer Camp Scholarship fund. Your gifts are greatly appreciated! As you may know, the program is a 7-week

program that serves families with children age 6-15. We are into our first week of camp and the children are having a blast! Unfortunately, there have been more ap-plications for assistance this summer than we have funds to support. I would like to reach out to our community, friends, and businesses one last time and ask for addi-

letters to the Editortional support for some of our Hopkinton families who are still in need.

Again, the camp is a needed childcare option during the summer for many hard working parents and we are a strong com-munity because we care and support one another! It is our goal to provide every qualifying child a minimum of one free week of camp. One week of summer camp is $115.00 per child. Your tax-deductible

donation in any amount would be greatly appreciated! Checks can be made pay-able to "Town of Hopkinton" with "Camp Scholarship" on the memo line. Please mail to: Hopkinton Recreation Depart-ment, 330 Main Street, Hopkinton, NH 03229. Thank you, in advance, for sup-porting this worthy program.

Friends of the Northern Rail Trail receive awardThe Friends of the Northern Rail Trail

in Merrimack County (FNRT-MC) received the 2014 Annual Achievement Award for outstanding use of Recreational Trails Pro-gram funds in the category of Accessibility Enhancement from the Coalition for Recre-ational Trails in Washington, D.C. on June 11, 2014. Charles Martin, author of New Hampshire Rail Trails and Board member of FNRT-MC, accepted the award on behalf of the group. This 10 year project of construct-ing a 34 mile four season rail trail from the Grafton County border through Danbury, Wilmot, Andover, Franklin, and Boscawen, NH, entailed replacement of the old railroad bed ballast rock with a user-friendly crushed granite (hard pack) surface using 9 years of Recreational Trails Program (RTP) funding.

This award recognizes the national importance of the Northern Rail Trail as a 4-season recreational rail trail that boasts outstanding scenery and interesting histori-cal artifacts from its railway past.

It connects with the Northern Rail Trail in Grafton County to form a 57 mile trail usable by walkers, bikers, horseback riders, wheelchair users, skiers and snowmobilers in winter. In the future, it is hoped that the “Granite State Rail Trail” will connect it with other trails on the Manchester & Lawrence Railroad corridor to form a 115-mile trail from Lebanon to the Massachusetts border at Salem.

Merrimack County’s entire Congres-sional delegation supported this nomina-tion. Senator Jeanne Shaheen wrote, “The Northern Rail Trail in Merrimack County is an outstanding example of what can be accomplished with steady effort using Recreational Trails Program funding…The trail has become an exceptional recreational resource for four-season non-motorized travel and snowmobiling in the winter months. The natural scenery and historical artifacts from the Northern Railroad’s hey-

day provide this path with innate beauty and reminders of the importance of this corridor to 19th Century commerce.”

Senator Kelly Ayotte said, “because of the countless volunteer hours, outdoor enthusi-asts now have a smooth, wide trail to enjoy all year round. New Hampshire has a long tradition of giving back to their community, and the Friends of the Northern Rail Trail are carrying on this great tradition.”

Congresswoman Ann McLane Kuster added, “Because of the organization’s efforts to restore and maintain historical landmarks and replace the ballast rock with more recreation-friendly hardpack, the trail has become an instant hub for outdoor activity.”

Construction of the last two miles in south Boscawen will occur this summer using funding provided by RTP. Following this achievement, there will be a Finish Line Celebration event at Jamie Welch Park in Boscawen on Saturday, October 4, 2014.

peterborough's $6 million "Library of the Future"

Newport Montessori school teacher receives honor

A $6 million capital campaign to fund the “Library of the Future” was unveiled at the 1833 Society annual meeting this week. “The goal is to raise $6 million and that money would cover the entire project,” said library director Corrine Chronopoulos.

The annual meeting of the 1833 Society was held at the library Monday night. During the presentation it was announced that Centerline Architects of Bennington, VT, have been selected for the project.

Tina Kriebel, 1833 Society vice chair, said Thursday that the project would have to be funded before the architects could be hired. Kriebel said the Society is also close to signing a purchase and sales agreement with FairPoint to buy an adjacent lot for $28,000. The lot would allow for more library parking.

Chronopoulos recently replaced longtime library director Michael Price. To Chronopoulos, the library of the future would include the space for more

programing and technology. The “Library of the Future” should be

a place where the community can gather, make connections with other people, learn and discover. Increasing program-ing and the availability of technology are goals Chronopoulos says she is already tackling in the limited space the library has. “As library director my plan now is to put together some innovative services, and these are things that patrons have been asking for,” Chronopoulos said.

With the capital campaign starting this year the Society has tentatively set construction to start in 2016 with the library reopening in 2018.

The 1833 Society is a nonprofit es-tablished in 2011 to explore and support the updating of the Peterborough Town Library.

The 1833 Society takes its name from the year the Peterborough Town Library was created. The Peterborough Town Library was the “first free public library supported by taxation.”

The Northeast Resource Recovery Association (NRRA) is pleased to recog-nize Ms. Amanda Patenaude, Newport Montessori School, Newport, NH with the “2013-2014 NH Teacher of the Year” Award. Patenaude led her students on a mission to bring composting to Newport Montessori School in Newport,. They

collected 16 pounds in the two weeks and determined that this was a tremen-dous amount of reusable product for a school with 77 students and 18 teachers. As a result of these findings, the school now composts daily which significantly reduces their waste and gives them soil to use in their school gardens.

Greenfield Marine dies by Afghanistan roadside bombA Marine from New Hampshire died

while serving in Afghanistan, according to releases from state and federal officials. Lance Cpl. Brandon Garabrant died Friday.

“Our hearts are broken by the loss of Lance Corporal Brandon Garabrant, a true American hero who made the ultimate sacrifice for the country that he loved,” U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte said in a statement. “I join citizens across New Hampshire in extending my deepest condolences to his family. We will forever honor the proud legacy that Lance Corporal Garabrant leaves behind.”

“The entire State of New Hampshire is devastated by the tragic loss of Lance Corporal Brandon Garabrant, who was bravely serving his nation in Afghanistan,” Gov. Maggie Hassan said in a statement. “Our service men and women courageously sacrifice every day to protect their fellow citizens and defend the enduring value of

freedom that is our very core, and in doing so, Lance Corporal Garabrant made the ultimate sacrifice.”

Hassan’s office said Garabrant was a volunteer firefighter in Temple and gradu-ated from ConVal High School. Hassan asked Granite Staters and Americans “to come together to support his family and his community.”

Last year, Garabrant wanted to wear his Marine uniform to his graduation from high school, but his wish was denied by school officials, who asked him to stick with a school policy that bans uniforms and requires all graduates to wear blue caps and gowns.

“Out of respect for the USMC and ConVal, I will not be wearing my military dress uniform to graduation tomorrow. I will be there in civilian clothes wearing cap & gown,” Garabrant said in a statement last year.

The body of Brandon Garabrant is returned to America soil.
