    A Tale Of Two ContractsI have always said that you have to be

    crazy to be a Selectman or School Board member. The hours of service are tremen-dous for little financial compensation and less public appreciation. Each position re-quires the balancing of the often conflicting duties to treat their employees fairly while protecting the pocketbooks of taxpayers. It is with full appreciation of that conflict that I offer this criticism of both boards.

    Recently Hillsborough Selectman Russ Galpin proposed giving town employees a 2% Cost Of Living (COLA) increase which was rejected out of hand by fellow select-men Lou Ann Rousseau and Rob Buker. The economy is poor and the pressure is on to reduce government spending at all levels. Nonetheless, our municipal employees de-serve to be treated fairly. Last year the select-men gave the police department a reverse pay raise by allowing them to work fewer hours for the same pay. Other departments complained but their complaints fell on deaf ears. Town employees have not received a raise in about five years. A 2% COLA is the least we can do to show our appreciation for

    their dedication and hard work. If Buker and Rousseau continue to ignore the problem, the pressure to unionize will mount, and then where will we be?

    The Hillsboro-Deering School Board has tipped the scales the other way, failing to deal with the teacher's union at taxpay-ers' expense. Although I haven't yet seen it, I understand the Board and the union have agreed on a new contract, calling for increased employee contributions to their health insurance in exchange for higher pay.

    The problem is in the fact that the board failed to deal with the teacher friendly "Ev-ergreen Clause" which allows them to take home more money each year in the form of step increases and automatic COLAs even when their contract expires. Thus they take home more money each year and are under no obligation or pressure to negotiate a new contract in good faith.

    The contract will be put up for voter approval this fall. I urge Hillsboro-Deering voters to reject any contract that contains an Evergreen Clause. Public employees can no longer be treated as a special class, immune from the pressures of a poor economy.

    Dear Editor;A large pot of pink geraniums, beautiful

    and strong. It bore no Father's Day card or balloon, memorial card or cross. It was lov-ingly and purposely placed by his children at the intersection of Route 114 and Flan-ders and Ramsdell roads in Henniker, NH, to honor a deceased Dad on Father's Day, June 19, 2011. This was the first Father's Day without him. The flowers next destina-tion was to be at the family camp on Lake Massasecum in Bradford, NH, where my husband's celebration of life was held. My daughter discovered that the geranium pot wasn't at the Henniker location on June 20th, the day after Father's Day.

    Maybe you thought it had fallen from a vehicle, maybe you gave it lovingly to your Father, maybe you didn't realize there was

    a reason it was there. Geraniums, beautiful and strong, placed to honor a Father.

    Candace Norton Grendell, Henniker

    ************************************To the Editor:

    There are false statements and some misleading statements contained as Quotes in last week's Villager article "Galpin questions payment." At our Selectmen's meeting June 28 Mr. Buker stated that after the "final" walkthrough on June 17 Bruss, Stetser and Buker agreed that no payment would be made until the Town received a written description of what Bruss Const. had yet to do on the project. Mr. Stetser ignored that agreement and ordered the check to be issued on Wed.,

    Selectmen nix Single Stream and Pay-As-You-ThrowAfter more than a year of study, the New

    London Selectmen have decided that nei-ther Single Stream Recycling (SSR) or Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) programs are right for the town. At their June 27 meeting, the board voted unanimously to turn down both alternatives. Selectman Peter Bianchi moved to defer signing the single stream recycling contract this year, stating he didn't believe it to be in New London's best interest. Tina Helm asked to amend the motion to say "defer signing the single stream recycling contract for the foreseeable future." When Bianchi accepted the amendment, it passed

    unanimously. Helm then suggested that the board revisit the idea of introducing Single Stream and Pay-As- You-Throw together.

    Jim Presher and Liz Bedard of Concord Regional Solid Waste Resource Recovery

    Cooperative informed the board that their offer for the town to become a founding member of the co-op and guarantee the best price for recyclables "will not be brought to you again."

    300 guests attend New London Hospital GalaThree hundred guests attended the 6th

    Annual Friends of New London Hospital Grand Gala, held at the Newport Mills building on June 11. The theme of this year's event was "Come to the Cabaret." Gala host and building owner, William B. Ruger, Jr., offered guests an opportunity to have their photo taken with a baby blue Rolls Royce from his extensive antique car collection.

    The staff of New London's Rockwell's at the Inn prepared and served a delicious meal, while Carol Dunne, artistic director of the New London Barn Playhouse, and actor Tom Ford, welcomed the guests with song. Dunne and Ford then led a lively table auction to support three key health programs: the Mammography Program, so that all women will have the benefit of this lifesaving screening; the Diabetes Education Program, to help families man-age this disease and prevent long-term health complications; and the Tiger Treat-ment Center, a teen health clinic located

    at Newport High School. Thanks to the generosity of the guests, the auction raised $33,600. The gala was made possible by Ruger's graciousness along with the

    event's underwriters, Dartmouth Coach, Roymal, MJ Harrington & Co., Lake Sunapee Bank, Wells Fargo Advisors, and Sugar River Bank.

    NH House Majority Leader, D.j. Bettencourt and State Senator Andy Sanborn were guests at a recent Contoocook Valley republican Committee meeting.

    Warner Selectmen study street lights savingsThe Warner Selectmen held a hearing on proposed changes to

    the town's street lighting. Warner is looking at ways to reduce the cost of street lighting and is considering PSNH's "Midnight Rate" option, which would turn off selected lights at midnight, rather than leaving them on all night. The Highway Safety Committee has tagged the poles with colored ribbon, 16 with blue for the midnight program and 6 lights with red for elimination.

    The Sunapee Police Department recently set up its new speed sign.

    June 22. The check was signed by Trea-surer Bob Charon on Thursday, June 23 and mailed to Bruss. By Tuesday, June 28, that check had already cleared our bank. The statement by Stetser that "we've done more in one year than the Library has done in 30 years" makes it sound like someone else is responsible for the Library project. Librarian Tammy McClure has made many improvements and innova-tions since becoming Librarian and it was the Fuller Public Library Trustees who proposed and pushed the latest expansion, not Bruss Const. or Administrator Stetser. Bruss Const. was chosen from three very qualified companies to oversee the project and so far has done a reasonably good job, but it certainly is nothing more than any of the three qualifying firms would have done. The statement by Chairman Buker that I was contacted by Selectmens Secretary Iris Campbell before the check was written is FALSE. I was never contacted by Iris Campbell about anything. I went to the Town Office on Monday, June 27 to review the expense manifest that the Selectmen would sign at our regular meeting June 28. I very often check these expenses and am the only Selectman who does. I discovered the invoice and entry from Bruss Const. and asked Iris how it could be taken out of the manifest. Iris then told me that the check had already been sent to Bruss, therefore a "simple phone call" to Buker by me could not have taken care of the matter.

    To the best of my knowledge, the one item that is in contention on this project is the safety railing aroud the "ADA" (Americans Disability Act) entrance at the rear of the building. According to the State agency for ADA, there were on Wed., June 22, several "corrections" that must be made to that entrance. A ramp for the door threshold, feather the approach ramp to reduce the angle or grade to get on the entrance pad, a bumper guard to prevent sight impaired from striking the braces for the floor above and a safety railing around the pad to prevent a wheelchair from going over the 6" edge of the pad. All of these things are a part of the project and must be com-pleted by the contractor. People who talk to newspaper reporters should first get their facts straight so that they do not make misleading or false statements. Reporters can only write stories from what they have been told.

    ******************************There are two ways to fix our eco-nomic mess and return to prosperity.

    First, we must allow the Bush tax cuts to expire. This would return rates to where they were under Bill Clinton when America created twenty-five million jobs. Ending the tax cuts would provide this govern-ment with almost four trillion dollars over the next ten years and end this mess in the meantime.

    Also, we need to get out of Iraq and

    Afghanistan. Those two wars have cost us between one and three trillion dollars depending on who you believe. Some say it will cost four trillion when all is said and done. This has to end. Who started this mess? George W. Bush. Who can't fix it?

    Barack Obama.We need leaders like Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton again. They knew how to deal with hard times. If either were in the White House today, I think they would agree with this letter. George Vreeland Hill,

Ted Young’s periodic firing of his cannon kept the guests on their toes and delighted the crowd with each round of fire. American flags decorated the downtown area; the smell of sausages cooking and coffee brewing, permeated the area.

    Over 530 people filled their plates with scrambled eggs, blue-berry or plain pancakes with butter and real maple syrup, sau-sages, melon, juice and coffee; second refills were common. Many found this a great opportunity to visit with friends and neighbors lingering over another cup of coffee. Over 20 Legion members and their families along with students from The College of St. Mary Magdalen assisted in the set up, breakfast preparation, serving, clean-up and take down of the tents. Rich Dahlgren, Post Adjutant and Public Information Officer said that attendance was greater than last year probably due to the holiday falling on a Monday. No one went away hungry and the guests indicated that the quality of the food was rated Outstanding. Charlie Trowbridge, Post Com-mander, said that he was very pleased with the attendance and the help of all the members and their families.

    Warner auctioneer sanctioned for collusive biddingThe New Hampshire Supreme Court

    recently upheld the reprimand of Warner auctioneer Brian French who put in a fake bid to help a fellow auctioneer drive up the price of a painting. Criminal charges of collusive bidding and conspiracy are still pending. French, who has been an auction-eer for 35 years, was reprimanded and put on probation for a year after finding that he bid $9,500 on a nautical painting at a 2009 auction to help auctioneer Stephen Bennett

    meet the minimum bid price of $10,000. The board also suspended Bennett's license

    for 90 days and placed him on probation for two years.

    Half the town watched as the other half marched in Newbury's 4th of july Parade.

    New London Administrator Kim Hallquist has advised the selectmen that the search process for a finance officer has begun. Advertisements for the position will be placed in local and statewide papers and on the Local Government Center and town websites.

    Hallquist hopes to fill the position quickly to allow Carolyn Fraley, the outgo-ing finance officer, to train her replacement prior to retiring in September.

    and used as the clasp. The designer version has a sterling silver clasp shaped like a uni-form button and is extremely tightly braided. Sterling silver and gold plated sterling silver heart clasps are avbailable.

    MJ Harrington & Co. Jewelers is proud to introduce From Soldier To Soldier, an awareness and fundraising campaign in sup-port of wounded veterans and their families. The campaign is based on the sales of a designer version of the survival and friend-ship bracelets worn by many U.S. and allied soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    For every bracelet sold in Newport, $25 will be donated to Homes For Our Troops and other organizations supporting return-ing wounded veterans and their families. The campaign is part of a national effort to raise significant funds for veterans' aid organiza-tions and bring attention to the special needs of returning heroes.

    "From Soldier To Soldier is neither pro nor anti war. It is pro our young men and women who put their lives on the line for our country and made horrific sacrifices. It is about the survival, friendship and com-mitment, symbolized by these bracelets." The bracelets in the field are braided by the soldiers with parachute cord. They are
