Teacher Evaluations H-D could be national model

HDHS Principal James O’Rourke along with teachers John Bramley, Heidi Welch and Noah Denslow briefed the School Board on a unique teacher evaluation program they have been developing which was recently approved by the teacher’s union as a pilot program for the high school.

Designed to be rigorous, transparent and equitable, the program is designed to iden-tify and reward teachers and staff who have increased student achievement and graduation rates. Utilizing four walk-throughs each year, administrators would evaluate teachers based

on their planning & preparation, classroom envi-ronment, instruction and professional respon-sibility. Performance would be graded based on how their students perform in achieving several Learning Objectives. An incentive program is being developed to reward outstanding perfor-mance.

In conversations with representatives of the NH Department of Education, O’Rourke was told that H-D’s program, developed with input from administration, staff and teachers, could well be selected by the US Department of Educa-tion as one of six model programs nationally.

The NH Audubon Society has intervened in the SEC hearings on Antrim Wind Energy’s proposal to install a 10 turbine, 30 megawatt wind farm in Antrim.

In a press release, the Society says that while it supports wind power in general, it is concerned with the “visual impact” on its nearby Willard Pond Sanctuary.

Hillsborough bridge enters Presidential debateLast Friday, about 150 supporters

waited under sunny skies, in front of the national press corp, at the Hillsboro Ford parking lot for the arrival of Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Former NH candidate for Governor John Stephen welcomed the assembled and introduced U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte, a staunch Romney supporter. Before in-troducing Romney, she told the crowd that recently President Obama had introduced his latest budget in the U. S. Senate, where it was rejected 0-99, with not even a single Democrat voting for it.

Romney used the backdrop of the now famous “Bridge To Nowhere” crossing the Contoocook River to highlight the failures of President Obama’s borrowing $787 billion from China in order to fund his stimulus program.

According to a 2010 report by Grant Bosse of the Joshia Bartlett Center, feder-al reporting indicates that the project cost $252,380 and resulted in the creation of 1.9 jobs. Critics formed on the other side of

Route 202 shouting anti-Romney and pro-Obama slogans. Romney refered to them as a “greek chorus” reminding people that President Obama’s policies were taking the country on a path like Greece’s.

Police Capt. Arrested?

22 year veteran under investigation

Henniker considers fee based programs

Although authorities will neither con-

fi rm nor deny it, reliable sources indicate

that Capt. Darren Remillard, a 22 year

member of the Hillsborough Police De-

partment is being investigated for assault-

ing a man suspected of being involved with

his wife. Chief David Roarick has referred

all inquiries to the State Police who would

confi rm only that they are investigating a

matter regarding the local department. Ac-

cording to State Police Lieutenant Wagner,

they are investigating what appears to be

a simple assault, but he would not identify

the parties involved. Chief Roarick met

with the Hillsborough Selectmen in execu-

tive session on Tuesday evening but no

action was taken pending a report from the

State Police. It was further reported that

two other offi cers, members of the newly

formed police union, accompanied Remil-

lard during the assault. The degree of their

involvement is not known as the union

is now involved in the interview process.

Lt. Wagner expects the investigation to

be completed by the end of next week. At

press time, no charges have yet been fi led.

During a review of the Athletic, Con-

certs and Patriotic Purposes budget line

items, Henniker Selectman Leo Aucoin

proposed that, in the future, all enter-

tainment and athletic programs should

develop programs to make them fee based

and self-supporting, without taxpayer

dollars. After a lengthy discussion the

board decided to retain funding for these

programs in the 2012 budget, but to place

an article on the warrant to see if the town

favored such a proposal.

Firefi ghters donateHenniker Fire Chief Keith Gilbert

recently presented the selectmen

with two gifts purchased with funds

provided by the Henniker Firefi ghters

Association; a FIT Pack Emergency Air

Supply valued at $2,798 (shown) and

a Command Cabinet for the Depart-

ment's new Command Vehicle valued at

$2,650. The board gratefully accepted

the donations with thanks to the As-

sociation.

Their candidates fi nished in the back of the pack but these Newbury residents were proud supporters.

Fire the Chief? Petition seeks Steve Marshall's removal

83 Washington voters have submitted

a Petitioned Warrant Article seeking the

removal of Police Chief Steve Marshall. It

reads: "To see if the voters in the Town of

Washington will vote to remove the Chief

of Police immediately." When contacted,

Marshall, who has been Chief for 12.5 years,

would say only that it is a personal attack by

a former resident who has an axe to grind,

and has nothing to do with his job perfor-

mance. The petition continues, "Whereas

We, the voters and tax payers of the town

of Washington are dissatisfi ed with the

performance, behavior and effectiveness

of the Police Chief, we ask the Selectmen

to remove, immediately, upon passage of

the Warrant Article, the current Chief of

Police."A second Petitioned article seeks to have

the Chief of Police elected in the future. "To

see if the voters in the Town of Washington

will vote to elect a Police Chief as allowed in

RSA 41:47." Washington offi cials have ap-

parently determined that the second article

is proper and will be placed on the March

Warrant. The selectmen are checking with

town council as to the legality of placing the

removal petition on the Warrant.

Life flightWindsor woman ejected from car on impact,

airlifted to Dartmouth Hospital

Antrim's proposed budget up $195,000?

On December 28th, Hillsborough Po-

lice, Fire and Rescue personnel responded

to the intersection of Routes 9 and 31 for

a motor vehicle accident involving two ve-

hicles. Reports indicate that Beverly Hines

of Windsor was traveling North on the 2nd

NH Turnpike. After having stopped at the

stop sign, and while attempting to cross

the intersection and continue onto Route

31, she was struck by a vehicle driven by

Lynne Moughty of Wolfeboro, traveling

East on Route 9. Hines was ejected from

her vehicle after impact and fl own to

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital with life

threatening injuries. She is currently listed

as being in satisfactory condition. Moughty

was transported by ambulance to Concord

Hospital where she is listed as being in

stable condition. Both roads were closed

for some time after the accident.

Antrim's 2012 town budget could in-

crease by $195,255 if the selectmen accept

all the requests made by the town's depart-

ment heads. The largest increase comes

from the Highway Department which is

requesting an increase of $73,656, or 8.8%

over its current budget of $831,286. The

Police Department has asked for $27,968

more, for a 4.7% jump, while the Fire

Department is seeking a 27.3% increase of

$22,894. Offi cials stress that the numbers

are not yet fi nal and the board will meet

again with department heads to re-assess

some priorities.

Newbury man’s death ruled a suicideGary Norton, 45, a 15 year veteran of the Bedford Police De-

partment was found dead from a gunshot wound at his Newbury home last Friday. Criminal charges of theft by unauthorized taking had been filed against Norton and Sgt. Jonathan Evans of Hill for stealing a vest from the Pepper Defense Store in Concord in May of 2011. The vest was taken by five men wearing Road Dawg Motor-cycle Club vests, a group to which both men belonged.

H-D Schools making more improvementsThe Hillsboro-Deering School Board got a double dose of good

news Monday night. Interim SAU #34 Superintendent Dr. Gary Murphy reported on a recent visit by the State Department of Education to monitor the School Improvement Grant program and H-D was congratulated on its progress. At the same meeting, HDHS Principal James O’Rourke shared a letter received from the New England Association of Schools & Colleges which reviewed the school’s Special Progress Report and its request to postpone the Dicennial Accreditation Visit. Based on the school’s progress which was noted by the Association, it granted the postponement, but cautioned that until all concerns were satisfactorily resolved, the school would remain on warning status.

New London to fill Planning & Zoning After several residents offered comments and suggestions on the

issue of the recently vacated position of Planning and Zoning Ad-ministrator, the New London Selectmen considered those comments at their meeting Monday night. Although the first motion to hire a person to fill the position on a full-time basis failed, a second motion was made (later in the same meeting) and was approved to hire as a full-time position. The Board will take up the issue of the job descrip-tion for this full-time position at their next meeting, May 29th.

New England College welcomes Chester College studentsRobert Baines, President of Chester

College of New England, and Dr. Mi-chele Perkins, President of New England College, have announced the formation of an agreement that allows all students accepted to or currently attending Chester College to enroll automatically at New England College. The Chester College Board of Trustees voted to name New England College as their institution of choice for this transition and the New England College Board of Trustees also voted in favor of the agreement.

The agreement, which takes effect immediately, allows all students currently enrolled at Chester College to resume their education at New England College at their current tuition rate and to retain all cred-its previously earned toward their degrees. All new students accepted to Chester College are automatically admitted to New

England College at the same tuition rate.In addition, New England College will

hire several faculty members from Chester College for minimum one-year and will consider additional staff members for

open positions at NEC. Dr. Perkins' previous association with Chester College, earlier known as White Pines College, will serve as an asset in transitioning students to New England College.

The ConVal School District is consider-ing authorizing Bennington’s Pierce School to run a half-day session on election day. The now closed St. Patrick’s Church was the traditional voting place for Bennington residents. Since it was closed, officials have used the Pierce School, but voting during school hours causes parking and safety

problems.Superintendent Richard Bergeron will rec-

ommend the board approve half-day sessions at the school during voting days in Septem-ber, November and March. In the long term, Bennington officials are looking at needed renovations to either the Town Hall or the VFW building to meet access requirements.

have been identified. Christopher Nicholas, 25, of Grantham and Jami Miller, 26, of Castleton, VT were killed when their car left the highway, hit a tree and burst into flames. The lack of skid marks leads investigators to believe Nicholas never applied the brakes before the accident.

Malfunction at Georges Mills stationAdministrator Kim Hallquist informed the New London Select-

men that there was a malfunction at the Georges Mills Pump Station and there was a small release of wastewater onto the ground. Donna Nashawaty, Sunapee’s Town Manager, sent out a Code RED mes-sage alerting people in the surrounding area. Hallquist explained that the two alarms failed to alert wastewater personnel or Public Works Director Richard Lee, instead, the release was noticed by someone walking in the area, who called dispatch to report his findings. Lee was then notified and he called additional person-nel immediately. Lee and his staff worked until after midnight to clean it up, and were back cleaning again on Sunday. Peter Bianchi said that last time this happened New London had to pay a fine of $200,000.00 to the State of NH Department of Environmental Services. He noted that the situation is now in the hands of DES.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Inlyta (axitinib) to treat patients with advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma) who have not responded to another drug for this type of cancer. Renal cell car-cinoma is a type of kidney cancer that starts in the lining of very small tubes in the kidney. Inlyta works by blocking certian proteins called kinases that play a role in tumor growth and cancer progression. Inlyta is a pill that patients take twice a day. Recently approved

drugs for the treatment of kidney cancer include sorafenib (2005), sunitinib (2006), temsirolimus (2007), everolimus (2009), bevacizumab (2009) and pazopanib (2009). The most common side effects observed in greater than 20 percent of patients in the clinical study were diarrhea, high blood pres-sure, fatigue, decreased appetite, nausea, loss of voice, hand-foot syndrome, weight loss, vomiting, weakness and constipation. Patients with high blood pressure should have it well controlled before taking Inlyta.

• • •A drug commonly used to treat seizures appears to make eye tumors less likely to grow if they spread to other parts of the body, according to a report in the journal Clinical Cancer Research. Uveal melanoma, the second most common form of melanoma, can be very aggresive and spread, or metastasize, from the eye to other organs, especially the liver. But drugs known as histone deacety-lase (HDAC) inhibitors alter the conformation of the DNA of the aggressive form of uveal melanoma, which changes the way key genes are expressed, rendering the tumor cells less aggressive. The drugs have relatively mild side effects that are not as severe as those seen in patients undergoing chemother-apy. One HDAC inhibitor, for example, is the anti-seizure drug valproic acid. Its most common side effect is drowsiness, which is typical of all HDAC inhibitors.

HYAA Bombers & Bluejays hold Jamboree PracticeText & Photo by Marty Robie

The HYAA U-12 boys baseball teams combined their practices to have a very different type of outing at Grimes Field last Sunday. The pitchers and batters would come out and be given the opportunity to display their abilities and improve their skills. Deering Police Officer Amy Coleman was on hand with a calibrated radar unit to measure the pitchers’ speed. The top three pitchers were; Sean Morin - 50 mph, Zach Reynolds 52 mph, and JJ Clements – 54 mph! All players worked on improving their batting skills by working at three different batting stations. At the Tee station, each player stood on a 4x6 log of wood as they swung to improve their balance while hit-ting. At the soft-toss station players focused on making solid contact with the baseball. Then the final practice station was facing 50 mph fastballs from the pitching machine. The event was wrapped up with a cookout in what turned out to be a very fun day at the field for all who attended.

A special thank you to Officer Amy Cole-man, additionally we would like to thank all of the Coaches, Groundskeepers, Members of the HYAA Staff, Leigh and Joyce Bosse of

The Hillsborough Selectmen were sur-prised to be told that their Deering coun-terparts had asked their attorney to contact Hillsborough’s attorney to negotiate a new Recreation Contract.

The Hillsborough board immediately informed both their attorney and Deer-ing officials that either the board or an appointed committee would negotiate for Hillsborough.

Galpin suggests a conspiracy to disrupt Stetser investigationTwo weeks ago, Hillsborough Selectman

Steve Venezia opened the meeting by stating that he had been told that fellow selectman Russ Galpin had met with former town employee Wendy Brien and asked if she was willing to come back part-time until her replacement was hired.

It was also suggested that Galpin was try-ing to influence the testimony of employees who would be speaking with Emily Rice, the investigator conducting the inquiry into al-legations of sexual harassment against Town Administrator John Stetser.

Venezia also said he had been called by Channel 9 to ask them to attend the meeting expecting fireworks.

The two selectmen met during the week in what Galpin characterized as a “heated discussion” in which Venezia gave Galpin the name of an employee who told him of the rumors. When informed, that employee strongly denied the report.

Tuesday night Galpin blasted what he called a “planned, nasty attack” designed to discredit him in order to weaken Rice’s investigation as impure and impractical.

A curious onlooker at the last two select-

men’s meetings was former Selectwoman Lou Ann Rousseau, who had not been to a meeting since stepping down in March. Speculation centers on Rousseau as the

source of the rumors as she is friendly with both Stetser and Venezia and opposed Gal-pin’s efforts to discipline Stetser when she was on the board.

My wife and I have owned The Messenger since 1989. In those 23 years we have run an annual tribute to local law enforcement in recognition of the tremendous work they do in keeping us safe in an increasingly hostile world. Recent events in Greenland remind us of the constant danger officers face in performing even day to day activities, and Messenger readers will remember that native son Jeremy Charron was killed making a rou-tine traffic stop. Our men and women in blue are hometown heroes and need to be honored and respected.

Beyond that, we have often used this space to opine on the excellent work of our local Hillsborough Police Department, the latest example being this past March when I spoke at Town Meeting in favor of granting the raises negotiated by the police union.

Never the less, police officers, of all people, need to obey the law and when they don’t, they must face the same consequences as average citizens face.

Recently, Captain Darin Remillard, a twenty-year veteran of the Hillsborough Police Department, assaulted a man he sus-pected was having an affair with his estranged wife. He was driven to the man’s home by

two other off duty officers who witnessed the altercation, and had to pull Remillard off his victim.

Last week, we reported that after a State Police investigation, the County Attorney had decided not to press charges as “the victim did not want to proceed.” This is a travesty of jus-tice and smells of a cover-up by all concerned. I suspect that if three police officers arrived at my house and beat me up, I might be too intimidated to press charges. Even so, the County Attorney had all the evidence needed in the form of eye witness testimony from two police officers, who would be sworn to tell the truth or face the penalty of perjury.

Police need not be held to a higher standard, but they MUST be held to the same standards that apply to us all. We need to know that our laws are being enforced evenly and equally regardless of who we are or what positions we hold.

Remillard’s situation is truly tragic. I know all too well how a lapse of judgment, a stupid act can ruin a lifetime of good work and a reputation of honesty and integrity, and I don’t believe Remillard deserves to go to jail. Justice, however, demands that he be indicted and tried, not just swept under the rug.

Here is a letter my father wrote about Memorial Day and those who died serving this great country. My dad served and never forgot those many heroes. His name: George V. Hill, Sr. He died in 2007 just seven months after he wrote this. George V. Hill, Jr. (For-merly of Hillsborough, Beverly Hills, CA)

Today we celebrate Memorial Day, for-merly known as Decoration Day. To my mind, this is not a day of celebration, but a day of solemn remembrances of those who made the supreme sacrifice in the name of freedom. It seems to me that Memorial Day has lost much of its meaning while we talk about de-partment store shopping sprees, visits to the mall, and outdoor picnics, all of course fitting and proper for any Saturday afternoon day of fun, but not for Memorial Day.

Memorial Day is a day to hang out our flag, and to hear speeches honoring our brave soldiers from all wars from Valley Forge to Gettysburg to D-Day and Corregidor, and to the present day conflict in the Middle East.

True Americans have always answered the call of duty, and as they say we fight for mom, the flag, and apple pie, in other words, for freedom and a way of life we all cherish and love.

I think of the brave airmen who flew the war torn skies over Europe in their Super Fortresses, risking all to keep America free, many of them never returning, some under crosses in far away lands. If these and other brave men and women who fought could speak from their graves, they might say to us today: "Enjoy the day, but please remember us, after all, it truly is our day."
