Two towns discuss fire districtBY ERIK [email protected]

TILTON/NORTHFIELD— Tilton Selectmen ChairKatherine Dawson visitedthe Northfield Board of Se-lectmen last week to discussthe Tilton-Northfield FireDistrict study commissionedby Tilton.

All three of the Northfieldselectmen expressed in-credulity at the idea thattheir board had refused tomeet with Municipal Re-sources Inc., the companythat is conducting the $18,000study for the town of Tilton.MRI had insinuated in a let-ter to the Tilton selectmenfrom MRI project managerBrian Duggan that the

Northfield selectmen hadbeen uncooperative duringits study of the fire district.

The Tilton selectmen havecharged Municipal Re-sources Inc. to analyze sever-al aspects of the fire districtin the $18,000 study.

“The door has alwaysbeen open over here,” saidNorthfield Selectman Chair-man Glen Brown. “I just findit fascinating that somebodycould put the statement inhere that we refused to meetwith them.”

Duggan’s letter also sug-gests that his company pos-sibly narrow the scope of thestudy, to, in Dawson’s inter-pretation, taking a look at theprocedures and ramifica-

tions for Tilton to dissolvethe district and provide itsown fire and EMS services.

“I’ve always said that I’dbe very surprised to hearthem say that it’s in our bestinterest to dissolve the dis-trict,” Dawson told the

Northfield selectmen.Among other directives,

the selectmen charged MRIto provide detailed cost bene-fit analyses for Tilton to re-main in the Fire District, todissolve the district and pro-vide its own fire and EMS

services, or to dissolve thedistrict and form a new andrestructured one with neigh-boring communities.

The completed study isdue July 1.

The Tilton selectmen havecontacted MRI, and relayed

the message that the North-field selectmen are willing tomeet with the company as aboard.

“The Board of Selectmenin Tilton would like your in-put,” Dawson told the North-

State comingaround to road problemsBY ERIK [email protected]

SANBORNTON — Select-man David Nickerson andTown Administrator BruceKneuer reported last weekthat their repeated visits tothe state regarding the stateroads “Y Project” seem to befinally bearing fruit.

Kneuer and Nickersonhad met with DOT engineersthe prior Monday, in their lat-est of several meetings withstate officials regarding thefour-year Y Project, whichcurrently has a $1,050,000funding limit, with 2/3 ofthat being state money, and1/3 contributed by Sanborn-ton.

“We were finally able tohave a consensus with thestate, that the (Y Project)needs more funding to meetits successful conclusion,”Kneuer said at last Wednes-day’s Board of Selectmenmeeting.

Kneuer said that the statehas approved a $400,000-$500,000 plan, for this year,that would install drainageto the stretch of Upper BayRoad between the SecondBaptist Church and Col-lieson Avenue, and recon-struct portions of HunkinsPond Road, the main ambu-lance thoroughfare for oppo-site sides of town. This proj-ect would use the original ap-

propria-

tions approved for the Y Pro-ject.

Nickerson said that thetown is trying to get the proj-ect going as quickly as possi-ble, and town engineers willbe applying for the necessarywetlands-impact permits“within the next week or so,”and the town will be solicit-ing bids soon after permitsare granted.

For subsequent years, fin-ishing off Upper Bay Road,and reconstruction on Park-er Hill, and a 0.6 mile sectionof Lower Bay road will costin the neighborhood of $2.7million, Kneuer said, moneyover and above the current YProject funding amount of$1,050,000.

He added that the state hasgiven verbal assurance thatit would keep its 2/3 fundingcommitment for this mone-tary increase to the Y Project,kicking in $1.8 million to thetown’s $900,000 contributiontoward the total.

Voter approval would benecessary to add $2.7 millionto the Y Project. Kneuer saidthat the state has said itwould be willing to draft a“commitment letter” to as-sure voters that it will pro-vide 2/3 of the funding.

Kneuer said that a largeconstruction company couldcomplete the rest of the YProject, approximately19,000 linear feet, in a year.

Baby Giovanni wins another fight for his lifeBY ERIK ZYGMONT

[email protected]

BELMONT — Coming offthe ventilator he had neededto breathe for the past 12days, “Baby Giovanni”Guglielmo overcame yet an-other dire threat to his lifeon Sunday evening.

“Right now, Giovanni islying in his mother’s armsfor the first time in 12 days,”said Michael Guglielmo ofBelmont, Giovanni’s father,on Sunday evening.

Twenty-month-old BabyGiovanni, who suffers froman extremely rare chromo-somal disorder, calledNEMO, which affects the im-mune system, has become aglobal inspiration in thedrive to register bone mar-row donors.

Though doctors neverfound a bone marrow matchfor Giovanni, he was treatedwith an infusion of umbili-cal cord blood, which, ac-cording to Guglielmo, repli-cated inside his body and bol-stered his own compromisedcellular system.

Giovanni fell ill on Tues-day, March 25, just one weekpast the one-year anniver-

sary of the cord blood proce-dure. He was sick with whatwas later determined to beRSV, a respiratory infectioncommon to children but po-tentially lethal to Giovanni.

He was airlifted to BostonChildren’s Hospital, wherehe was placed on a ventilatorfor a collapsed lung, and putinto a medically induced co-ma so he couldn’t move andinterfere with treatment.

Guglielmo noted that, dueto precautions taken for hisillness, Giovanni had not yetreceived the vaccinationsthat healthy children receive,

to protect them from infec-tion. He was scheduled to re-ceive his first vaccinationson March 28, Guglielmo said,but fell ill before that date.

Guglielmo also noted that,in this latest fight for hisson’s life, doctors had to over-come a very high tolerance toanesthetic drugs that Gio-vanni had developed duringthe chemotherapy of hisoriginal treatment.

Guglielmo called the near-two-week ordeal “horrific.”

Selectmen consider tax deeds on mobile homesBY ERIK [email protected]

BELMONT — At theirMonday meeting, the select-men discussed the possibili-ty of actually implementingthe tax deeding process onmobile homes, throughwhich the town would takepossession of propertieswith three or more years’worth of taxes overdue.

Town AdminstratorJeanne Beaudin said thatowners of properties subjectto tax deeding owed the townapproximately $507,000 inback taxes as of Februarythis year, and town officialssay that that amount is grow-ing.

Beaudin told the Board ofSelectmen that many NewHampshire communities re-cently polled had said thattax deeding on mobile homeswas not worth the troubleand expense. In Winchester,however, she said she hearda different story.

Officials in that smalltown, located in the south-east corner of the state, de-cided that “enough isenough; we’re going to takethem all,” Beaudin said, andeventually took possession ofthree mobile homes and soldthem at auction.

She noted that Winchesterwas liable for park rent whilethe properties were “in lim-bo.” Beaudin also said thatthe majority of mobile homeowners in Winchester whowere faced with the reality of

losing their homes raised themoney to pay off their backtaxes.

In Belmont, she said, taxdeeding on mobile homes hasbeen threatened before, butthe process has never actual-ly been started.

The selectmen expressedsupport of the idea, withsome reservations on start-ing the deeding process onresidents who are actuallytrying to pay the town.

Beaudin noted that manyproperty owners on her listof potential tax deeds weremaking some payments to-ward their back taxes.

“Some are literally paying$20 a month because that’s allthey can afford,” she said.

Asked by Beaudin if theboard was “prepared to actu-ally physically deed” some ofthe delinquent properties,Selectman Jon Pike replied,“In fairness to the other peo-ple paying their taxes, it’s theonly fair thing.”

Pike also said that he didnot want to take a home awayfrom an elderly person whowas struggling to make smallpayments toward back taxes.

Selectmen Chairman RonCormier said that the deed-ing process should be done“selectively,” and he addedthat mobile homes should beremoved from any deededproperties immediately, sothe town does not incur anyutility bills or park rent oth-er than what is already owed.

“The day it becomes ours,

if we go that far, we take it offthe property,” Cormier said.

Beaudin said that becauseher list was current as of Feb-ruary, many mobile homeowners on it have by nowpaid one of three years owed

in back taxes on their prop-erties, which are therefore nolonger subject to deeding.

“They have this downright pat, don’t they?” com-mented Selectman ReggieCaldwell.

Beaudin said that shewould return to the boardwith an “updated list,” mi-nus those properties that arenow paid off for one of threeyears of owed taxes. Pikeasked that property owners

in a payment plan with thetown also be removed.

“Most of these people(who owe back taxes) aren’tgoing to walk away fromtheir homes,” Cormier said.“They can’t.”

Host a foreign exchange studentLAKES REGION — Inter-

national Student Exchangeoffers a great opportunity tohost a foreign student, whichfor a host family can be theexperience of a lifetime.

Every year, our regionalhigh schools are enriched bya number of outstanding for-eign students. These youngpeople win the hearts oftheir teachers, their fellowclassmates, and the commu-nity at large.

Now is the time that stu-

dents from around the worldare looking to be placed inour local high schools for theupcoming 2008-09 schoolyear. Students from differ-ent countries all look for-ward to living with an Amer-ican family and attendingone of our public schools.Typically, they are intosports, music, makingfriends, working hard andhaving fun. These studentsspeak English well and havetheir own health insurance,

liability release, and spend-ing money. Families whohost are responsible for pro-viding a bed (a student canshare a bedroom with a hostsibling), meals, love and Eng-lish. Also, host families arenot required to have teenagechildren. Some of the mostsuccessful experiences havebeen families with younger

children and families whoare empty nesters.

Getting involved is a win-win situation for the student,the host family, and theschool. Anyone interested inmore information, pleasecontact Martha Webber at286-2407. Information is alsoavailable visitingwww.iseusa.com.

cookies in her life,” Bonafidesaid. Meanwhile, the Rotarynetted $4,100 from the con-test, far more than the $1,500they were hoping for.

“We’re over the moon,”Rotary member Grace La-Plante said.

The contest took the placeof the Rotary’s usual radioauction and will likely be-come the club’s big annualfund-raiser.

“It was a lot less work thanthe auction, frankly speak-ing,” LaPlante said.

Photo submissions cost$10 each, and the photoscould be voted for online attnrotary.org or at a variety ofbusinesses in the area. La-Plante said the online votingwas “incredibly popular,”and people were logging oneach morning to see whichpet was in the lead. Onceword got out about Riley’sstory, some people evenstopped soliciting votes fortheir own pets because theywanted Riley to win, La-Plante said.

“She is so loved,”LaPlantesaid. “This dog has touchedso many people.”

Riley’s prize is a portraitpainting from Lochmereartist Ann O’Leary. TheCoreys have said they wantthe painting done in front ofthe veteran’s home. When it’sfinished it will be hung in-side the home for the resi-

dents and staff to admire.Category sponsors for the

pet photo contest were: Dog -Missy's Biscuits; Cat - Win-nisquam FFA; Cutest Couple- Jan Wickens and MarkSeavey of RE/MAX Inten-tions; Funniest - FranklinSavings Bank; and Other Pet- Lake Side Animal Hospital.

BY MEGHAN [email protected]

TILTON — A dog namedRiley is having her momentof fame, thanks to a pet pho-to contest, kindhearted own-ers, and the staff and resi-dents of the New HampshireVeteran’s Home.

Seventy-seven animal pic-tures were submitted to theTilton-Northfield RotaryClub’s first pet photo contest,created to raise money forscholarships. Riley, a blacklab, was the grand-prize win-ner, with 528 votes. Many ofthose votes, which cost $1each,came from the staff andresidents of the veteran’shome, where the canine hasmade herself quite comfort-able over the past 12 years.

“Riley’s relationship withthe veteran’s home goes backto when she was a puppy,”said Jackie Bonafide, publicrelations director for thehome. “All the residentsknow her and love her.”

Riley took a liking to vet-eran Bill Mertens, who oftenstrolled past Riley’s WinterStreet home and would stopto pet her and give her a treat.

“She quickly learned thatif she followed him up to theveteran’s home, she would

get even more treats,”Bonafide said.

Mertens passed awayabout six months ago; whilehe was in the hospital, ToddCorey, Riley’s owner, visitedhim and reassured him thatRiley was doing OK.

“Bill was very worried,”Bonafide said. AfterMertens’ passing, “Rileyended up coming up here forthree weeks in a row lookingfor Bill.”

Riley figured out how toget into the automatic doorsand has a daily routine, start-ing with a stop at human re-sources, followed by a visitwith the commandant’s as-sistant, Alice Brown, whonominated Riley for the con-test, then a meeting with thecommandant, and finally around of resident visits. Dur-ing each stop, the now-ro-tund dog snags a bite to eat,including peanut butter andjelly sandwiches fromBrown. At the end of the day,Brown drives Riley home inher car. Last week, NHVHand the Rotary honored Ri-ley as the photo contest’sgrand-prize winner, drawingbig crowds and even WMURcamera crews.

We’ve enjoyed less than three months of living ina nearly campaign-free state since the New Hamp-shire Primaries in January. Now, as the campaignsigns for those presidential hopefuls, some ofwhom have long since quit the race, are unearthedfrom mounds of snow, new campaigns for stateelections are just beginning. These campaigns,while perhaps not as in-your-face, promise to be in-creasingly prominent as the November electionsnear.

These races, which include offices in the statesenate, on the executive council, and in the Houseof Representatives, involve local candidates andmore closely affect our local communities.Whomever is elected president is hugely importantto our future, of course, but on a local level, it isthe people who are elected to seats in our state gov-ernment that have the potential to benefit us di-rectly.

As we move toward November, getting to knowthe residents of our towns who aspire to servetheir communities promises to be enlightening. Italso reiterates how closely New Hampshire govern-ment is connected to its citizens. Your neighborcould well be the next state senator or representa-tive, and the close proximity may come in handy ifyou have a complaint or comment that you’d likesomeone in Concord to hear about.

So, as big as the race for president is, those of usein the local newspaper business are looking for-ward to getting back in touch with our own politi-cians and bringing their ambitions and missions tothe forefront. Last year at Salmon Press, we talkedwith numerous presidential candidates, from Sen.McCain to Sen. Clinton to the long-forgotten Gov.Bill Richardson. In the past couple weeks, we’vehad the pleasure of meeting with Executive Coun-cilor Ray Burton, who is seeking yet another term,as well as candidate for Senate Jeanne Shaheen.Whether we would endorse these candidates or notis irrelevant at the moment; it is still early, after all.But regardless of whom we agree with or wantrepresenting us, each candidate has a fascinatingstory about their New Hampshire roots and thegoals they have for serving people in the GraniteState.

In the next few months, we look forward to warmweather and some not-so-hard-hitting campaign-ing. Signs endorsing presidential candidates willbe replaced by signs boasting the names of friendsand neighbors. Now is the time to get to knowthose friends and neighbors, and see what theyhave in store for your neck of the woods.

State electionsmove to forefront

Change the process, next yearLETTERS

●

To the Editor:

As a resident of Tilton Ihave questions in regards tothe Tilton Selectmen's deci-sion to petition SuperiorCourt to hold a new electionfor the Tilton Northfield FireDistrict.

I think it is clear theprocess was not a good oneand needs to be changed. Itseems that there were nu-merous communication andprocedure problems that oc-curred that need to be ad-dressed. However, I am notsure why there is a need for"redo" of the election. Re-gardless of how poorly theprocess was done it is clearthat Paul Auger was the win-ning choice of the people. Itis my understanding therewas a recount. The recountalso indicated that Mr. Augerwon. So why does the voteneed to occur again? Therewere concerns raised that ab-sentee voters did not receive

the Fire District ballot. Thatis a legitimate concern andthe process of distributingthe Fire District ballots to ab-sentee voters should be ad-dressed, but would the voteschange the outcome? Is thereanother way to address thisproblem?

Last week's Editorial stat-ed that “if the situation wasreversed and Gallant hadwon under the same circum-stances we are pretty confi-dent that the Tilton Board ofSelectmen still would haverequested a re election.” Per-sonally I am not that confi-dent that would have hap-pened given the recent situa-tion with the letter from theselectmen endorsing a spe-cific candidate for townclerk.

It is unclear to me as towhy the town is paying theexpense of this. The newelection is costly. It is now in-volving a court date as wellas the cost of the election it-

self.Some of the other reasons

cited seem odd to me as well.The fact that there was no firedistrict moderator or deputymoderator present to explainthe ballot. The ballot seemedclear to me. I think it was acase of either voting for Mr.Gallant or Mr. Auger. I don'trecall there being a Fire Dis-trict moderator or deputy atthe polls last year so why did-n't someone speak up then? Ifthe selectmen came and vot-ed this year and noticed thiswhy didn't they do somethingthen? Although the Fire Dis-trict moderator was not pres-ent certainly if someone did-n't understand the ballot theprocedure is usually to askthe town moderator or hisassistant. I think they werequite capable of answeringany questions.

There was also a concernthat the some voters thoughtthe Fire District ballot was apamphlet. The Fire District

ballot was handed to votersby the supervisors of thechecklist and their assis-tants. The supervisors of thechecklist and the assistantsare not in the practice ofpassing out pamphlets. Theirjob is to pass out the ballots.So if someone did not realizethat was a ballot and thoughtit was a pamphlet they werenot paying attention.

Finally is it really fair toall the people who turned outto vote to have to come backjust to vote for that one office?When there is only one issueto vote on often voter turnoutis light. So is the vote reallygoing to be representative ofthe people's choice? I agreeand commend the selectmenfor wanting to change theprocess, but don't do the elec-tion over.

Soldiers’ pay is unfairTo the Editor:A friend and I discussed

war funding. She feels themilitary should get the mon-ey needed to do the job, onceBush and our Congress haveput our soldiers into Iraq. Isee the war never ending, be-coming entrenched with thatreasoning, possibly going onfor Sen. McCain’s “100years.” Profits would soarand soar for the “lucky” com-panies selling war’s goods.Soldier deaths would riseand rise.

My mind leaped to Brig.Gen. Smedley D. Butler,U.S.M.C. ret., who wrote“War Is a Racket,” usingWWI experience.

One of his proposals links

soldiers’ pay to war’s profi-teers:

We need to “… conscriptcapital and industry and la-bor before the nation’s man-hood can be conscripted. Onemonth before the Govern-ment can conscript theyoung men of the nation – itmust conscript capital andindustry and labor. Let the of-ficers and the directors andthe high-powered executivesof our armament factoriesand our munitions makersand our shipbuilders and ourairplane builders and themanufacturers of all the oth-er things that provide profitin war time as well as thebankers and the speculators,be conscripted – to get … the

same wage as the lads in thetrenches get. [$30/month inhis time.]

“Let the workers in theseplants get the same wages –all the workers, all presi-dents, all executives, all di-rectors, all managers, allbankers –

“Yes, and all generals andall admirals and all officersand all politicians and allgovernment office holders –everyone in the nation be re-stricted to a total monthly in-come not to exceed that paidto the soldier in the trench-es!” In 2005, second year ofour Iraq war, a U.S. serviceperson made on average $225per month. (In contrast, a pri-vately contracted soldier

makes $650 to $1000 per dayin Iraq - astonishingly un-fair!) In 2006 Bush worked ona 2.2 percent pay raise for ourtroops. A Marine wife, at thattime, on a blog scoffed at the$42 monthly increase.

Brig. Gen. Butler wouldhave every office holder whovoted for this war, every CEOand CFO of firms like Hal-iburton and Blackwater, AMGeneral that manufacturesthe Humvees (unarmored oruparmored), for examples,make no more than $225, say,$42/month.

Would such a war go on forMcCain’s 100 years, so in-volving sacrifice by all?

BRINGING UP BENBy Meghan Siegler/[email protected] ■

Today’s grandparents are busier, but no less dotingFor many of us who re-

member spending manydays and nights at our grand-parents’ houses, there’s a cer-tain expectation that ourown parents are ready andwilling to care for our chil-dren. But, even for parentslike my own who adore theirgrandchild, grandparentingthese days seems to comewith more limitations – timelimitations in particular.

I thought I was the onlyone who has to book mymother’s babysitting servic-es way in advance, but re-cently I read an article in oneof the numerous parentingmagazines I somehowwound up getting for free,and there was a story abouthow many modern grand-parents have their own livesand are busy going back toschool, volunteering, work-ing, or pursuing hobbies likedancing or scuba diving.Their schedules are packed,and although grandchildrencan be squeezed in, it seemsto take more effort and guilt-ridden pleading than it didfor them 20 or 30 years ago.

Maybe it’s just the skewedmemories of childhood, butit seems they could easilypawn my brother and me offon our grandparents, andthat our grandparents livedfor our visits.

This is not to say that thegrandparent population isless loving or willing to helpout. My mom and dad willtake Ben any time they can –but it takes pre-planning anda good amount of luck.

When I needed someone towatch Ben all day on a recentSaturday, it happened to fallon a weekend that my par-ents weren’t up north skiing,so I was relieved, Ben wasthrilled to spend the day withGrandma and Grandpa, andmy parents were truly happyto have the time with him.But for plenty of other week-ends this winter, we just did-n’t have the option of goingdown to Derry to see them,because they were up in Ply-mouth on the slopes, doingtheir own thing.

Last weekend, my hus-band and I would have hap-pily made plans with my par-

ents, but they were gone forthe weekend visiting friends.Nothing new. I thought I wasbusy, but compared to them,my life is dull.

My mom pointed out backwhen Ben was born that hermom actually came up andstayed with her for severaldays after I was born, be-cause my dad went back towork right away and it wasjust natural at that time forher mom to help out. Mymom, couldn’t have stayedwith me, because she had to

work; on the same token, Ididn’t need her, becauseBrandyn had enough time offfor me to recover and get usedto having a baby around.When the new baby arrivesin July, my mom will be outof school (she’s a teacher), soit’s quite possible that she’llhelp out more, which I’m ac-tually counting on, becauseI’m thinking taking care ofBen and a brand new babywill be quite a bit harder thanwhen Ben was born andthere were no toddlers run-

ning amok. I think my viewof today’s grandparentsmight be different if Bran-dyn’s mom didn’t live in Cal-ifornia, because she doesn’thave a job, or a whole lot offriends or hobbies that I’maware of. If she lived closer,she would be more likely toplay the traditional role ofgrandmother, which, come tothink of it, may not be up myalley. If my mom had no lifeoutside of family and wasconstantly badgering meabout when she could see

Ben, as I know some grand-parents still do, she wouldprobably drive me nuts.Things are good the way theyare; I can count on my par-ents when I really need them,Ben gets a healthy dose ofgrandparent fun,and my par-ents are happily living theirown lives. As long as theykeep a few days open on theircalendar for some qualitygrandkid time, I can’t com-plain.

Mrs. Rachel Lees of Tiltonand Michael Leonard of Poc-casset, Mass., would like toannounce the engagement oftheir daughter, April Lynn

Leonard to James Taylor, sonof Lawrence and Grace Tay-lor of Concord.

A wedding is planned forJune 2009.

“The women and men whoparticipate in the AvonWalks for Breast Cancer giveus hope that one day we willknow a world without breastcancer,” said Carol Kurzig,executive director of theAvon Foundation, a publiccharity that produces theevents. “Thanks to thou-sands of people like Dan andAmanda, we are able to pro-vide funding for essential re-search as well as for commu-nity organizations that pro-

vide access to care for thosewho are faced with this dis-ease.”

Dan and Amanda were in-spired to take part in theAvon Walk Boston becauseboth of them have family andfriends affected by the dis-ease. Seeing people close tothem needlessly suffering orpassing on gave them thepush to take on such a task.

Dan said, “I've had goodfriends, neighbors and fami-ly members affected by notonly breast cancer, but byother cancers … once we finda cure for breast cancer, wemay possibly find the key topreventing cancer as awhole.”

Children collect ‘Pennies for Peace’SANBORNTON — San-

bornton CongregationalChurch is full of children onSunday mornings. We havenine infants, some of whomare usually sitting with theirparents, and six or seven tod-dlers who are either withtheir parents or in the nurs-ery downstairs. There is asturdy rocking chair at theback of the church with awarm hand-knitted prayershawl where mothers or fa-thers can sit and rock tosoothe crying babies. Activi-ty bags for toddlers and oth-er children are available.When everyone is present,there are now nine boys andgirls in the Junior Choir.They have their own specialtime to sing during the serv-ice just like the Senior Choir.

After Rev. Patrice Ficken’smessage to all the children inthe congregation, clusteredaround her on the altar steps,31 children troop down to the

Undercroft for SundaySchool. There is a preschooland kindergarten class, aclass for children in gradesone and two, and a third classfor those in grades three toseven. We try to always havetwo teachers present in eachclassroom and two in thenursery. Kayla Barton ofFranklin, a long-time mem-ber of the Junior Choir nowin high school and a memberof the Senior Choir, serves asa teacher’s assistant.

All parents are encour-aged to take a “People SeekerPager” upstairs. Each pageris numbered for a specificparent. If a teacher needs aparent to come downstairs,she presses a button thatmakes the pager vibrate andflash red lights. The Churchand Undercroft are nut-freeto keep the environment safefor children with allergies.You won’t find any nuts inbrownies at our Fellowship

coffee hour.Children’s Sunday will be

celebrated on April 13 thisyear. The children will beconducting the entire Sun-day service. The theme of theservice is Earth Day.The chil-dren will be greeting church-goers and doing the readingsand the sermon. The pre-school and kindergartenchildren will sing a songabout recycling. SanborntonCongregational Church hasvoted to become a GreenChurch and has adopted anew recycling program. Thechildren in grades one andtwo will display posters thatthey have made that will tieBible verses to ways of car-ing for God’s earth. As theday’s sermon, the older chil-dren will be performing askit titled “The GarbageMonster.” The skit was writ-ten and will be directed byMarg Whedon of Franklin.Karna Feltham of Laconia

and Susan Long of Sanborn-ton, together with Marg,have planned the servicewith the children.

The older children are al-so working on a special proj-ect, “Pennies for Peace.” Thisproject was inspired by thebook “Three Cups of Tea,” byGreg Mortenson, whose ex-periences as a mountainclimber who wanted to con-quer the mountain K2 led

him instead to raising mon-ey to build schools for girls inthe mountains of northernPakistan, where the govern-ment pays for education forboys but not for girls.

In the past month, the old-er students have been col-lecting loose change at eachSunday Service to send toGreg Mortenson. Theamount they have raised todate will be announced on

Children’s Sunday.The public is cordially in-

vited to attend the 10 a.m.service. The church is locat-ed at 21 Meetinghouse HillRoad which branches offRoute 132 in SanborntonSquare. For more informa-tion about the Church, checkout our web site at www.san-borntonucc.org.

field board. “Personally, Ithink it would be quite valu-able.”

In addition to the misun-derstanding, Dawson andthe Northfield selectmenspoke more generally aboutthe fire district. Brown saidthat he would have beengrateful had Northfield beenkept abreast of the studyfrom the beginning, when itwas approved at 2007 TownMeeting.

“If someone had called usup and asked us, ‘We’re do-ing this, would you like to bea part of it?’ I would’ve lovedit,” he said.

Dawson replied that theimpetus for the study didn’tcome from the Tilton select-men, but from a group of cit-izens in the Lochmere area.

“They felt very vulnera-ble out there, particularly inthe east end of Tilton,” shesaid.

Dawson later said that cit-izens had petitioned the se-lectmen for the study, but theboard took up the idea andput it on the warrant.

Northfield SelectmanStephen Bluhm pointed outthat the original warrant ar-ticle asked solely for a studyon dissolving the district andgoing it alone.

“When I read the warrant,it was like, ‘Well, they’vemade up their minds, whatdo they need us for?’” Bluhmsaid.

The warrant article wasamended from the floor at2007 Town Meeting to broad-en the scope of the study.

Speaking on possible so-lutions to improving re-sponse time east of Route 93in Tilton, without dissolvingthe district,Dawson said,“AsI see it, the only solution is toput something east of 93 orExit 20.”

Talk also turned to thenow defunct WinnisquamFire Department, the stationof which is now owned byBelmont and unmanned.

“Were things okay whenWinnisquam was running?”asked Bluhm.

“Yes,” replied Dawson. “Ican tell you from personal ex-perience.”

Kneuer noted that he andNickerson made it clear tothe state that there is no guar-antee that Sanbornton voterswill agree to take over thestate roads of the Y Project

upon their completion.However, Nickerson said

that he asked the state whatkind of maintenance pro-gram it would apply to thenewly-reconstructed roads.

“The answer was none,”

he said.Former selectman Tom

Salatiello urged the board touse state representatives,such as Jim Ryan, represen-tative from Franklin andchair of the House Trans-

portation Committee, formore leverage in its dealingswith DOT.

Nickerson said that thestate appears to have reactedto Sanbornton’s sheer per-sistence.

“Hundreds of towns are inthe same situation we’re in,”he said. “But, we’re reallyone of the only towns thathave been going down there(to DOT) over and overagain.”

dresses will continue to bemailed as always,” Piatt ex-plained. “I don’t know howhard it will be to get to themagic half-way mark, but itmakes good common senseanyway to green out someunread copies. They’re nothelping our towns or our ad-vertisers.”

Since launching the the

Echo in September 2004 it hasbeen mailed free to everyhome every week, about 8,000addresses.

In a surprising and sud-den move Aug. 30, 2007, theUnited States Postal Systembegan offering discountedpostage to free news weeklies– reviving an obscure classi-fication of mail called “con-trolled circulation,” which

had not been used pervasive-ly in the periodical trades fora quarter century or more.Any publication applying forthe special permit must car-ry at least 25 percent localnews content in its pages.The Winnisquam Echo is tra-ditionally is 50 percent newsand 50 percent advertising.

The signature collectioncampaign began two weeks

ago, and the Niagara of ear-ly returns has caused a hap-py bedlam around the news-paper office.

“We are buried,” Piattsaid.

All the cards have to betyped into a computer data-base and alphabetized toready-up the requester listfor verification by a team ofUnited States Postal Auditors

later this year.“People in this area could

not be more gracious,” hesaid.

Hundreds of signaturecards have “we love the pa-per”scrawled in the margins.One lady wrote “thank youfor this lovely gift.”

“I don’t know of any newsmedium in America thatgleans these kinds of love

notes from its audience,” Pi-att said. Can you see this hap-pening at the NY Times or ata television network? “It’sjust amazing and very touch-ing. All of us love publishingthe paper here.”

die, you’re just stricken withhorror,” he said. “It’s terrify-ing.”

However, Guglielmo saidthat every time an illnessthreatens his son’s life, Gio-vanni hangs on with brutaltenacity.

“Giovanni has now faceddeath five times,” Guglielmosaid. “Each time, he has de-fied the odds, bounced back,and surprised people.”

On his Web site,www.savegiovanni.org,Guglielmo constantly refer-ences a phrase coined byphilosopher Friedrich Niet-zsche: That which does notkill us only makes usstronger.

As of earlier this week,Giovanni remained atBoston Children’s Hospital,as inflammation to his upperrespiratory system contin-ued to subside.

Giovanni will continue toface challenges to his health.In addition to NEMO, he isdealing with a disease calledectodermal dysplasia, ablanket term for a variety ofdisorders that affect theskin, hair, nails, teeth, andsweat glands, ranging inseverity from mild to severe.

Guglielmo said Giovan-ni’s two brothers, Adrianand Alex, ages 3 and 7, havebeen very agreeable to thelifestyle changes that theyhave had to undergo to pro-tect their younger sibling.The two older boys have tochange clothes wheneverthey come home from school,for example, to avoid bring-ing potential germs inside.

“The kids have been verygood, very disciplined,” saidGuglielmo.

Ever since he learned hisson was sick nearly twoyears ago, Michael Gugliel-mo has been the polar oppo-site of idle. Even though hisson never found a match, andreceived the cord blood treat-ment instead, Guglielmo haspledged to register as manybone marrow donors as pos-sible. He said that he wantsto establish New England as“The Lifesaving States,” ded-icated to providing matchesfor those who need bone mar-row, “so kids won’t be dyingsaying ‘Mom and Dad, do Ihave a match yet?’” Gugliel-mo said.

A former carpenter,Guglielmo is now an execu-tive consultant for DKMSAmericas, the largest pri-vate bone marrow donorfoundation in the world.

“This kid’s a warrior,”Guglielmo said of his son.“He’s got such strength, andhe’s here for a purpose—in-spiration.”

About species preference and feeding the birdsNorth Country Notebook

John Harrigan

I don ‘t know why we feedthe birds. We like to seethem, of course, and there isthe underlying self-indul-gent gratification that we arehelping them get throughhard times. It’s a noblesseoblige sort of thing, or as thenow-jaded products of the‘70s would put it, a feel-goodthing.

Yet when I go out to tendthe three bird-feeders andrectify the ravages of windand weather, and fill them upwith a rich and varied mix-ture of seeds, which the redsquirrels also appreciate, Iinevitably think of twothings: coyotes and deer.

Some people won’t admitit, but there is almost alwaysan underlying theme of dis-crimination and bigotry go-ing on in, around and undera bird feeder. There arespecies people want and loveto see, oohing and ahhing atthem and peering out atthem with binoculars andrushing for the Peterson’sField Guide to ascertain themeaning of a stripe ofplumage here, a patch of col-or there. “Look! It’s a rareCentral American pitted-beak worm-grubber! Proba-bly blown in by that south-easter!”

Meanwhile, the mourn-ing doves show up, one of thecertain harbingers ofspring, and a sure sign thatthey’ll soon be followed byone of the most hated speciesof all, grackles. Most peoplewho feed birds, if they toldthe truth, would admit to

deeply held desires for eth-nic cleansing when it comesto grackles, with blue jaysnot far behind. Blue jays,which are killers and ma-rauders and thieves, get on-to bird feeders and slew theirbeaks through everything tofind just the nuggets theywant, driving out all otherbirds in the process. If mywife made noises aboutwanting a blue jay pie, whichI’ve never tried, and if itweren’t against the law,they’d probably be on ourtarget practice list.

As for mourning doves, tosome they are symbols oflove, cooing softly in pairs onsome wire, but to me they arepin-headed midget pigeons.

Pigeons, by the way, areconsidered a rats-at-the-dump species and are notprotected. If they take up res-idence in an open barn or

shed they can become a realproblem.

All of our kids have beentaught to regard guns astools to be used carefully andrespected, nothing more. In-variably they start with a 22single-shot rifle and gradual-ly graduate to a 410 shotgunand then maybe a 20 gaugesingle, and then, if deerhunting is in the script, a 30-30 Winchester or Marlin.None of these firearms areautomatic or easy to operateand actually require somethought before pulling thetrigger. You have to thinkabout what you’re doing andexercise great caution,which, come to think of it,you have to do with a carvingknife or a chainsaw.

One of our barns acrossthe river in nearby Vermontbecame infested with pi-geons, whose droppingswere making an awful messon our sheepskins laid out todry before being sent off tobe cured, and so we setNancee’s elder sonNathaniel loose with the sin-gle-shot 22, loaded with whatI call rat-shot, meaning car-tridges loaded with very tinypellets, smaller than BB pel-lets. They can bring down apigeon but will do no dam-age to a metal roof.

Soon we had six fat pi-geons, and I dressed them offas I would a partridge and wehauled them home for sup-per. After all, they had been

feeding mostly on grain, ourgrain.

Nancee made a stuffingand I oiled and seasoned thebirds and popped them intothe oven. “Squab, in an adultstage,” I thought, picturingthe European delicacy.

At the supper table my re-view, if I wrote reviews for afood magazine, would be“Not bad.” As in “Tough buttasty.” Meaning, a hell of alot of work for a buzzard.

(Reality check: I’ve notchecked on Vermont laws.There may be one againstshooting pigeons, and thisarticle might result in my be-ing dragged away by the Pi-geon Police. You never knowabout Vermont. Despite itsliberal image as the land ofponytails, rimless glasses,Volvos and yurts, it is thestate where there are utterlyno handgun licensing lawsand where people can stillshoot fish. So who knowsabout pigeons?)

This brings me to coyotes.In western Massachusetts, afarmer recently shot whatlooked to be an oversizedcoyote attacking his live-stock. The animal, after ex-haustive DNA tests, turnedout to be a bonafide graywolf. Wolves are protected,and there are strident, right-eous movements to restorethem to their ancestral habi-tats. One of the resultantquestions was whether thefarmer should be prosecut-ed.

Huh? We are drilled, as asociety, to hate coyotes andregard them as vermin, andare allowed to persecutethem in all manner, includ-ing haphazard shooting, poi-soning, trapping, snaring,and swerving to run overthem in the road.

Yet we are told to reverethe wolf as a mystical, soul-soothing, adorable symbol ofthe wild. Never mind that thewolf and the coyote are close

dead set against feeding deer.It’s a feel-good practice thatin the long run does the deerlittle good, and can do themgreat harm.

Yet I slog out there to feedthe birds, most recently dig-ging through three feet offresh wind-blown snow to doso, and never mind the therealities and consequences.

In our household I do mostof the dishes, and can see thebird feeders from the kitchensink, mentally canceling outthe squirrels, grackles,mourning doves and bluejays, all flocking there for myfeel-good, artificial food. Thehuman mind is truly a won-drous and fallible thing.

to being lying-down-togeth-er cousins. Is this species dis-crimination, or what? Samething as at the bird feeder.

As for the deer, we are toldthat feeding deer is not goodfor them because their di-gestive tracts can’t take itand feeding draws them intodangerous situations con-cerning traffic accidents, ha-rassment by coyotes andfree-running dogs, disease,parasites, and loss of passed-down knowledge about natu-ral movement and winteringsites.

After a lot of research onthis and a lot of looking,reading and listening, par-ticularly to biologists andwildlife friends I respect, I’m

TILTON — Not one to staycooped up inside, BobHardy’s career, extensivevolunteer work and hobbiesmore often than not find himoutside, either studyingforestlands, walkingthrough wetlands or hikingup mountains.

Hardy, a longtime Tiltonresident who was just namedCitizen of the Year, works forthe State of New Hampshireas a member of the forestmanagement staff. His offi-cial title is Forester III, Ac-cess and Trails Coordinator,and he oversees two fieldforesters as well as about50,000 acres of woodlandsfrom the Concord area toFranconia Notch.

“It’s not routine,” Hardysaid of his job. “You’re notseeing the same sights day inand day out.”

Though his office is at thestate nursery in Boscawen,Hardy spends much of histime in the field, monitoringtimber sales and harvesting,taking inventories, checkingthe trees’ health, identifyingtree species and workingwith abutters of state land.

“It’s to keep the forestshealthy and growing,”Hardy said.

Hardy has always been anoutdoorsy kind of guy, start-ing with his involvement inthe Boy Scouts, a group inwhich he still maintains

leadership roles.“I got into forestry

through Scouts,” Hardy said.Despite urging from his

high school guidance coun-selor to attend DartmouthCollege and pursue a degreethat would utilize his mathskills, Hardy chose to attendthe University of NewHampshire, where heearned a bachelor of sciencein forest management.Through his degree andwork study experiences,Hardy landed a job with theState of New Hampshire be-fore he even had a degree inhand, moving from UNH toLancaster the Sunday aftergraduation in order to startwork Monday. He’s beenmoving up the ladder sinceand, in case he decides totake an administrative posi-tion rather than continueworking outdoors, Hardyearned an MBA fromPlymouth State back when itwas still a college. But fornow, he has no plans to comeinside for the duration. Evenwhen it’s 20 degrees belowzero, the outdoors call tohim.

“I am a very warm-bodiedperson,” he said. “On a snowday I’d gladly work outside.”

Hardy’s extensive knowl-edge of the great outdoorshas landed him on severalcommittees in Tilton, start-ing 25 years ago.

“In 1983 they were tryingto revitalize the Conserva-

tion Commission in town,”said Hardy, who was askedto join by two original mem-bers whom he knew throughScouts. “It seemed like aworthwhile cause,” he said.

As a member, Hardy dealswith environmental issues,particularly those involvedwith building. When the Ex-it 20 area started to develop,the commission focused onwetland protection and con-servation easements andcontinues to do so.

“We do a lot of onsitewalks,” Hardy said. “You re-ally can’t tell a lot from a(building) application.”

Hardy points out that thecommission is solely adviso-ry and can only make rec-ommendations to the Plan-ning Board and the state De-partment of EnvironmentalServices.

“We have no enforcementpowers,” he said.

Hardy admitted that itcan get frustrating when thePlanning Board seems to ig-nore the Conservation Com-mission’s recommenda-tions.

“We’re not anti-develop-ment, but we want to see itdone properly with the rightsafeguards in place,” hesaid. “We’re seeing a lot ofdegradation to the resourcesout there.”

Still, working with a vari-ety of people who are all vol-unteering to serve the com-munity is worth dealing

TILTON — The Win-nisquam Regional HighSchool Drama Club invitesyou to a play about a giantplant that first coaxes thepeople close to it into com-mitting murder, and thengrows to a monstrous size asit consumes more victims.

“Little Shop of Horrors,”playing April 10, 11, and 12 atthe high school, combinesthree genres that go surpris-ingly well together: musical,comedy, and horror.

“It’s just a sick play,” saiddrama coach Barbara Blinn.

Junior Chris Foster, whowill move the mouth of thegiant, Venus-flytrap-likeplant from inside the elabo-rate prop, said that before heaccepted the physically de-manding role, he had to besure he could handle it with-out getting sick.

“It sort of smells (insidethe plant), and it gets reallyhot when I start speaking,”said Foster.

By “speaking,” he meansusing his body to move theplant’s giant, gaping mouthin sync with a voiceover

coming from off-stage.Sophomore Darren

Robinson, who is shorter ofstature than Robinson, pi-lots a smaller version of theplant earlier in the show. Heagreed with Foster’s de-scription of the difficult job.

“If I had to compare itwith anything, it would bebeing inside a small cave,”Robinson said. “It’s dampand dark.”

He added that he’s notsure if the rented prop hasever been washed.

“It smells of previoushigh schools,” he said.

Senior Trevor Lewisplays Seymour Krelbourn,the impoverished, nerdy,protagonist. A floral shopowner, Seymour is seducedto do the plant’s evil biddingby the promise of riches,fame, and the love of a come-

ly coworker.“Seymour is very differ-

ent from me,” said Lewis.“He’s soft-spoken, very shy,very nervous, and he’s al-ways fiddling around withsomething.”

“I’m usually a very angry,violent (character) in dra-ma,” Lewis added.

work,” Hardy said, notingthat maintaining the statuesin town and planting sometrees and shrubs constitutedthe bulk of the committee’swork.

Since Riverfront wasbuilt, the commission hastaken on more responsibili-ty for its maintenance.

Hardy is also intimatelyfamiliar with the park’s cre-ation; he volunteered forTilton Riverfront Park Com-mittee as a representativefor the Conservation Com-mission. According to theletter written by Pat Clark,co-chair of the TRPC, Hardy“was instrumental in help-

ing to write grants” for theproject and was “involvedwith all aspects of every-thing green in the park.”

When he’s not working orvolunteering, Hardy enjoyshiking, fishing and hunting(which he jokingly calls“walking” due to his lack ofbringing home any game inrecent years), and he likesspending time with hisfriends and family. He stillhelps out his mom, who runsHardy’s Greenhouse out oftheir home in Tilton, and heand some friends own acamp in Northern NewHampshire where he likes tospend weekends.

Tilton Citizen of the Year Bob Hardy is in his element outside of his office, working for the state as a forester.

warning ringing in my head.“Be careful, contents mayhave shifted during flight.”And while, on a positive note,some change has been shak-en loose from under theseats, $1.14 won’t pay to getthe wheels realigned.

My current plan is stealth.It’s added 15 minutes to my2.5-mile commute to workevery morning. I creep downthe road, slowly disappear-ing down into each pre-heavecanyon, cautiously emerg-ing back up and over the topand back down into the nextone, my hands clutched at 10and two, knuckles white. I’mnot sure if a slow motionbump is much better than ahigh speed bump. It may justbe prolonging the agony. Onthe other hand I do still havea muffler.

I have observed over the

years that once a heave hasmade its appearance, thoughit will fade away in warmerweather, it’s always lurkingbelow the surface of theroad, just waiting to makesits appearance again thenext winter. I know this istrue because the car-eatingpot hole at the end of ClarkRoad appears like clock-work every year, waiting toswallow the unwary. A roadre-grading did slow it down abit one year, but it pulled it-self together, worked outduring the off season andcame back stronger thanever the following winter. Ibelieve that a frost heave,once produced, short of re-moving the road and scrap-ing it down 8 or 10 feet (andeven then I think the one atthe end of Clark Road mayhave it’s roots well below thatinto the Earth’s core) will al-ways reappear with cold.

There’s a lot of work to bedone behind the scenes inthe prop-heavy play. With noprevious experience, fresh-man Olivia Santosuossotook on the onerous job ofstage manager.

“I get a lot of on-the-jobexperience,” said Santosu-osso, adding that she is quite

busy throughout the play,making sure all props are intheir place so they can be uti-lized by the actors.

“Trying not to forget any-thing is the hardest part,”she said. “There are a lot oflittle props that are easy tooverlook and forget about.”

“Little Shop of Horrors”is an expensive productionto put on, according to Blinn.The rights to put on the playmust be purchased from Mu-sic Theater International,she said. The man-eating, ve-nus-fly-trap-like plant,which has four incarnationsin the play to represent itsgrowth, was rented from a

ready to do that; that wouldbe to admit defeat. Frostheaves are something oneputs up with to earn the joysof spring. I do wish though,that one could just grab theend of the road and give it agood snap, like a towel, and

Blinn said the total cost ofshowing “Little Shop of Hor-rors” is $5,000, a sum towardwhich community business-es gave generous contribu-tions. Steele Hill Resort,Shalimar Resort, GenesisHealthcare, Dairy Queen,Century 21, and Cullen Con-crete were all instrumentalin helping the drama club

build up from a startingbudget of zero, she said.

“Little Shop of Horrors”will also be Blinn’s last pro-duction, as she is retiringthis year after 26 years ofteaching English and dramaat Winnisquam, and 31 yearsof teaching overall.

“The best piece of wis-dom I can pass on is the oneI started with,” she said.“Treat every student as if heor she is your son, daughter,niece, or nephew, and youcan’t go wrong.”
