No trespassingAt New London Police shooting range

Police Chief David Seastrand informed the New London Selectmen that he met with John Schlosser to go over the issue of shooting at the town range pit. Both agreed that the purpose was to ensure the safety of all, by preventing any "unauthorized" shooting from taking place on the town property. It was agreed that the best way would be to erect a sign at the entrance to the pit area informing any-one wishing to enter that this area is for authorized

personnel only. Unauthorized personnel would be subject to arrest for criminal trespassing. At the same time, the sign would also say no shooting by any unauthorized individuals. It is also recom-mended that the town enact an ordinance allowing the police to charge anyone shooting on this prop-erty with a violation of Town Ordinance. Public Works Director Richard Lee has agreed to purchase and erect the signs needed to meet the goal.

Jesse Walter Scott, 105, died peacefully at his Newport home last Sunday. In 1931, Jesse started working as a deputy conservation officer for the state of New Hampshire and became a full-time conservation officer in the Newport/Lake Sunapee area in 1941. Work was interrupted during World War II, when he volunteered in the army and be-came a member of the 10th Mountain Division ski troops in Colorado, then stationed in Italy. After the war, Jesse returned to his conservation work, and

was promoted to district chief. After his retirement, he served three terms as a state representative. In 1976, he was sworn in as a deputy sheriff for Sul-livan County and served as a court bailiff for eight years. He was appointed a New Hampshire Crime Commissioner for eight years by Gov. Meldrim Thomson. Jesse received the Boston Post Golden Cane Award in 2003 and the 10th Mountain Divi-sion Ice Axe in 2006 for being the oldest living veteran of the wartime Mountain Division.

Hillsborough water rates jump by 15%Facing a 14% drop in water usage and the resulting loss of

revenue, the Town of Hillsborough Water and Sewer Commis-sioners voted Tuesday to raise water rates by 15 percent for all users, beginning with the November billing.

As a result, the water bill for the base user - one who con-sumes up to 7,500 gallons per quarter - will jump from $58.85 per quarter to $68.00 per quarter. Total billings for the last four quarters reached $590,242, while the 2012 budget was $678,810, resulting in a shortfall of $88,568 for the current fiscal year. “Installing this in the fourth quarter will not make up the entire shortfall for the year, but will help,” Herman Wiegelman explained, “and by the end of three quarters in 2013 we will be fully recovered.”

after he was found inside the closed Shop Express Convenience store early last Thursday. Alexander Caruso, 19, was arrested inside the 27 Sunapee Street store after police tried for about 45 minutes to coax him out. Responding to a burglar alarm at 3a.m., police found a backpack containing tools and next to it were cartons of cigarettes, a cash register and other items taken from the store. After a 45 minute standoff, police entered the store and arrested him. Caruso has been a frequent customer.

Fire destroys Peterborough garage & carA fire destroyed a garage and the car inside it in Peterborough

on Sunday afternoon. When firefighters responded to the garage at 507 Old Street Road, they found the 24-by-24- foot building burning, causing heat damage to the siding of the adjacent home. The fire had also spread to several bushes at the property. They quickly extinguished the fire and saved the home. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

Hopkinton is seeking a new Fire ChiefThe Hopkinton Selectmen are preparing to appoint a commit-

tee to help in the selection of a new Fire Chief following the death of Rick Schaeffer. The committee, which will be appointed next week, will consist of local citizens, a member of the fire depart-ment, a former Hopkinton Fire Chief and a Fire Chief from a surrounding community. The Board hopes to have a new chief in place early next year. The job will be posted through November, with interviews taking place through the holidays. Those interest-ed in joining the committee should contact the town hall. Deputy Chief Jeff Yale is serving as interim fire chief.

Weare Police searching for assault suspectOn October 30th, Weare Police responded to a 911 call at a

Hopkinton nixes LGC offerAlthough the Local Government Center

has increased its offer of an insurance settlement on Hopkinton's highway garage, the matter remains unsettled.

Believing the town had insurance coverage on the building for $1 million, the selectmen have refused the LGC's newest offer of $738,000 up from an initial offer-ing of $670,000.

New steps are being installed at Warner's Town Hall.

New London Hospital Days may become Chamber DaysAn 88 year old New London tradition

may soon undergo major changes. Sources indicate that New London Hospital is anx-ious to end its Hospital Days event which has drawn smaller crowds and been less profitable in recent years. The Lake Sunapee Area Chamber of Commerce is considering picking up the torch and hosting a similar but expanded event. Under consideration are such changes as adding Thursday events and bringing back the once popular midway.

Recently the Chamber asked the New London Selectmen what the cost of police coverage was for the event and if the town

would consider absorbing it without charg-ing the Chamber. Police Chief David Seast-rand reported that last year's Hospital Days cost $859 at the non-profit rate which was covered in his Department's budget. Before

making a decision, Board members wanted to know what the Chamber would do with the proceeds and exactly what events would be included. Chamber representatives will be invited to a future meeting to elaborate.

For decades before antibiotics became generally available, sunshine was used to treat tuberculosis, with patients often being sent to Swiss clinics to soak up the suns healing rays. Now, for the first time scientists have shown how and why helio-therapy might, indeed, have made a difference. A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has shown that high doses of vitamin D, given in addition to antibiotic treat-ment, appear to help patients with tuberculosis

(TB) recover more quickly.• • •

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Kyprolis (carfi l-zomib) to treat patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior therapies, including treatment with Velcade (bortezo-mib) and an immunomodulatory therapy. A form of blood cancer that arises from plasma cells, multiple myeloma usually grows in bone mar-row, the soft, spongy tissue found inside most bones. The bone marrow is where normal blood cells are produced. In 2012, an estimated 21,700 people will be diagnosed with multiple myeloma and 10,710 will die from the diseae, accordingto the American Cancer Society.

• • •Two new studies paint a complex portrait of aspirin’s impact on cancer risk and mortality, with one suggesting the drug may lower the risk of dying from prostate cancer and the other seeing no significant drop in the risk for developing breast cancer. Aspirin use was responsible for a 57 percent reduction in the risk of prostate cancer death. Yet, the researchers found that neither regular aspirin nor other NSAIDs had any significant impact on overall breast cancer risk, regardless of how much they were used. Both findings are published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Hillsboro-Deering DECA to host identity theft forum On Wednesday, November 14, 2012,

Hillsboro-Deering High School’s DECA Chapter in conjunction with the Financial Literacy class students will be hosting an event covering the timely topic of Identity Theft. Identity theft is a very important fi-nancial concern in today’s marketplace. As the holiday season approaches, and retail and online sales increase dramatically, it is important for holiday shoppers to recog-nize the increased potential of becoming an identity theft victim.

The event will begin at 5:30 pm with a spaghetti supper in the high school cafete-ria with the Identity Theft seminar to fol-low at 6:00 pm. The focus of the evening will cover three areas: “Identity Theft 101” discussing identity theft basics, “Black Fri-day” which will discuss preventions while retail shopping and at restaurants, and “Cy-ber Monday” which will cover identity theft issues online. Hillsboro Police Department Officer Rory Bohanan will conclude the event with a law enforcement perspective of ID Theft.

Following the Identity Theft Awareness,

the Hillsboro Deering High School Admin-istration Team will present an informa-tional forum on the School Improvement Grant (SIG).

There is no fee for the spaghetti supper and all are welcome to attend, although it is asked that you kindly RSVP to Mr. Marc Payeur by Monday, November 12, 2012.

letters to the EditorLetter to the Editor:

Bart Hardwick and I (Dan Donovan) feel it was our privilege to serve the residents of Bennington, Deering, Francestown and Greenfield these last two years in the former District 2 as your Representatives in the House. With the re-districting, Dan will now be running in Deering & Weare. We both along with our wives Judy Hardwick & Joanne Devine fully support Desmond (Des) Ford who is running in the new Dis-trict 3 Bennington, Greenfield & Hancock. Des Ford served our country with honor and will be a fiscal conservative and an asset to the House of Representatives. We hope you will support Des Ford in District 3 and continue to support Dan in District 2 with your vote on November 6th. As always, you can continue to call Bart and I with any of your concerns.

Thank you again for your vote of confi-dence in 2010 and we need your vote again for Des Ford and Dan on November 6th.

Dan Donovan & Bart Hardwick House of Representatives

District 2 (2010-2012)*****************************************Dear Editor:

Many of you watched the Presidential election debate, between Obama and Rom-ney, and how many of you were satisfied that it was really sincere? I for one was not. "We the People" have lost our jobs, our homes, our minds, our children, suicide, high crime rate and the list goes on and on!

It is in my conclusion, and my deepest conviction that Obama is a "Very bad and evil Dictator." Our government deficit is 16 trillion dollars. We didn't benefit by any of it? I have been through the second depres-sion, and I know what it was like, it was horrible. This is our depression, not a reces-sion. Let’s point out the facts to President Obama, and all of them.

In the White House we are their em-ployer, not their employee! When they don't do the job they promised to do for us, we should fire him, not vote for them! Be very careful when you vote on November 6th for President, because you may just get what you asked for.

Good luck to all of you, because you are going to need it. This is going to be the most crucial election ever in history, if you vote for the wrong candidate, you will have to live

with it for the rest of your life.Julie Dozois, Deering

*****************************************Accentuate the Positive

Why do some politicians want to reduce the quality of our public education systems by starving them for money? We achieved our world dominance by educating all of our citizens. Now, in the name of frugality, some candidates are proposing to eliminate departments of education, reduce school funding, and begin the break up of local education systems through the introduction of charter schools ... a first step complete with the loosening of quality controls.

We need to elect people like Annie Kuster who know what a good education will do for our nation. Investing in special, enriched classes for the talented, in quality training for the trades for those seeking them out, in college preparation for those whose qualifications lead them there, and challenging, state-of-the-art courses for our most gifted. We need people like Annie Kuster in Washington who recognize that we need to invest in all levels of education ... primary, secondary, and university ... so we can educate all who could challenge academia and the world with what they will produce in ideas, applications, and products ... products that will challenge the status quo. Annie Kuster deserves our votes.She will make sure that our nation’s funds are not squandered either by underfund-ing or paying for needless projects.She will promote things that will produce results and will bring opportunities for us and our children. Expanded gross national product will pay down the INVESTMENT rapidly.Charles C. Richmond, Peterborough*****************************************Dear The Messenger:

A nonpartisan study revealed that Mitt Romney's tax plan will COST Ameri-cans earning less than $250K/year over $2,500 annually. President Obama's tax plan SAVES that same family over $2,000 per year. This should come as no surprise. Clearly, Romney is wealthy and successful, but he is clueless about how to BECOME successful in America. I have no issue with how Romney attained his fortune - he had a rich and powerful father who gave him every break possible to ensure prosperity-- but not all of us can choose our parents as

wisely as he did. A rich-from-birth politi-cian like Romney cannot understand the struggles associated with breaking out of the middle class. This explains why Romney has offered zero policies to help the middle class become affluent. President Obama is a real life middle-class success story. He understands the middle class and has a plan to help us flourish. Vote Obama to ensure a strong middle class and a prosperous America for all.

Tina Traypeat, Warner*****************************************To the Editors:

I've never missed a chance to vote and this November 6 won't be an exception. I'm a local, "born, bred and buttered," and I'm always impressed by fellow citizens who do more - who take on volunteer positions in town, in Concord, and in Washington DC for the good of all. Even campaigning is hard work-and the hours and hours they give to their jobs? Cheers to them! Now: Do your part and vote for the hard-working, often-criticized crew who has volunteered to represent us in the state house, some al-ready proven: Marjorie Porter and Gil Shat-tuck, for two. No doubt you've noticed the brilliant job Marjorie Porter does with her

"Straight Talk" column about the mess in Concord: the extreme social agenda, drastic cuts undermining public education and social services, attacks on women's health. Enough! Come on, neighbors, let's straighten things out. Let's elect Porter and-Shattuck, their Democratic team members Richard McNamara and Richard Eaton, and while we're at it: Kuster and Hassan, too. And at the top of the ticket, don't miss a chance to re-elect President Obama-and give him the vote of confidence he'll need to herd those obstructive Congressmen to some life-saving legislation!Cynthia Van Hazinga, Hillsborough*****************************************To the Editor:

The most important attributes of a candidate for State Representative include honesty, empathy, principled vision and a willingness to stand up for traditional New Hampshire values. In the District of Han-cock, Bennington and Greenfield, we have such a candidate in Desmond M. Ford. Des exhibits mature wisdom and incisive good judgment, voicing his opinions with clarity,


frankness and always in the best interest of the community. He is respectful of the views of others and displays human sympathy and genuine understanding. Policy wise, Des believes in individual responsibility, limited efficient government, improved locally-controlled schools and the protection of our environment. He has a track record to back this up: U.S. Marine, Red Cross volunteer, Town and ConVal Budget Committee representative and a successful career in the timber and paper industry. If you want an honest man to represent you in Concord and advocate effectively for your interests, send Des Ford to the House.

Timothy J. Lord, Hancock, *****************************************Obamacare and Your Property Taxes

Obamacare may or may not improve health care for Americans, but in New Hampshire, it’s very likely to increase our property taxes.

That’s because Obamacare (also known as the Affordable Care Act) effectively requires our towns and school districts with more than 50 full-time employees (those who work more than 30 hours a week) to provide adequate health insurance to all their full-time employees or pay a penalty. Health insurance for an individual may cost somewhere between $4,000 and $10,000 per year; the penalty is $2,000 per year for each employee in excess of the first 30, and it’s assessed on the total figure even if some of the employees do have health insurance.

As an example, consider my town, Weare. The local school district has 176 employees and is subject to the Obamacare requirements. Many employees, such as teachers, do receive health insurance. But many others are classroom aides working more than 30 hours per week, and they do not receive health insurance. Provid-ing classroom aides with health insurance would cost a considerable sum, perhaps more than the penalty of $292,000.

So we have a difficult choice to make: provide health insurance, pay the pen-alty or reduce aides’ hours to make them part-time and thus avoid paying either the insurance premiums or the penalty. If the insurance or penalty route is chosen, it will increase Weare property taxes -- in the case of the penalty payment, for the next school year by 18.25c per thousand dollars of assessed valuation and for future years by 36.5c per thousand. For a home assessed at $250,000, that comes to $45.60 next year and $91.20 for future years.

Obamacare’s mandates and penalties will raise property taxes on many New Hampshire property taxpayers -- upper income, middle income and lower income.

Neal Kurk, Weare*****************************************Dear Editor:

Williard "Mitt" Romney has frequently cited his success as governor of Massachu-setts as a major credential in his aspirations to be our president. In areas including health care, fiscal management, and educa-tion, he touts his effectiveness when he was the Bay State's governor. My question to voters--especially undecided ones--is: if he was so effective in his governance of that state, why does he trail President Obama by seventeen points, among prospective Mas-sachusetts voters?

Mike Bradley, HillsboroughPublisher's Response: Come on

Mike, we all know Massachusetts is full of liberal Democrats.*****************************************Dear Editor:

I support good schools. It is not Weare and Deering vs. Bow schools. It is not NH vs. MA schools but rather the US vs. the world. We are now 37th in the world in gross domestic product support of schools. Education was always the pillar that drove our American ingenuity. State Routes 114, 77 and 149 are not scheduled to be repaved for 15 years because of the current Repub-licans representatives’ vote on House Bill 1. Our State Representatives also vote as the Hillsborough County delegation. The representatives reduced meals on wheels by $20,000 on June 21, which cut the meals by one day a week. Instead of paying for one meal, our elderly will now consider moving to the county nursing home which costs $120 a DAY. This will cause the county por-tion of your property taxes to sky rocket.

These four Republican candidates also eliminated Children in the Need of Services (CHINS). Yet in their ads they write as a "talking point" cynically, "Helping those in Need" We need to retire Kurk, Hooper and Donovan as State Representatives.

Arnold Rocklin-Weare, Weare*****************************************To The Editor:

My name is Aaron Gill, and I’m running to be your state representative in Hillsbor-ough County, District 39 for Deering, Goff-stown and Weare. I’m a 36 year old small business loan underwriter for a New Hamp-shire community bank, a conservation com-

mission officer, property taxpayer, husband, and lover of Volkswagens, drumming, and gardening. As you might have guessed, I’m also keen on local politics. Over the past two years, I’ve seen some extreme behavior coming from the people’s House, and I’m quite certain these actions do not represent the character and wishes of my neighbors. We’re a pragmatic people, who understand the folly of being pennywise and pound fool-ish, like purposely denying Federal match-ing funds to fulfill a personal agenda, result-ing in the down-shifting of costs to property taxpayers. We also know when we’ve been lied to, like the House focusing on a social agenda after campaigning on a fiscal one. By and large yes, we appreciate the value of a dollar, but we also understand education is the key to our economic future, roads and bridges are necessary for New Hampshire’s robust commerce, and a fair distribution of our tax burden is only right. We also know that government should stay out of our bedrooms, our bodies, and our personal relationships. If you’re unhappy with the actions of your State Representatives, please vote for fresh voices. I’d love your vote.

Aaron Gill, Deering*****************************************
