and unable to support the operational cost, Community Church of Francestown has voted to sell its building. According to Moderator

Park Pitman, members will continue to use the building until it sells, although there are no solid plans as to where the congregation would meet after the church sells.

As we go to press, the NH Supreme Court is hearing arguments on the issue of school funding by reviewing a lower court decision that found the state’s baseline contribution of $3,636 toward each student’s education is far from constitutionally adequate.

The case, initially brought by the ConVal School District and three other districts, has received support from the ACLU and 25 other NH Districts. It is the first time since 2008 that the Supreme Court has dealt with the continu-ing issue of school funding.

Rulings in Claremont I, Claremont II and its 10 successor cases have established that New Hampshire children have a constitutional right to an adequate education, and state govern-ment must provide it.

Last year, the districts sued the state, Gov.

Chris Sununu and Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut in Cheshire County Superior Court. After Judge David Ruoff ruled that the state award of $3,636 per student in 2019 did not cover the costs of a constitutionally adequate education, the state appealed.

Attorney Tierney has faulted the way the state calculates adequate education funding, arguing it should be $9,929 for his clients.

Responding, the NH Attorney General’s Office lawyers claims that no one conducted a proper analysis of how ConVal and the other districts spend money on costs associated with an adequate education. They also say Ruoff should have granted them access to school district financial records so they could analyze the spending on an adequate education as part of the larger school district budget.

Covid-19 pandemic causes dramatic increase in New London’s populationThe New London Citizens Advisory Com-

mittee held its first meeting since February when it met at Whipple Hall with the Board of Selectmen on September 12th. Eleven members observed social distancing in chairs set 6 feet apart; most members kept their masks on unless they wished to speak without it. There was no need for the micro-phones as people were easily able to hear without them. From 7:30am- 8:00am, the group had open discussion.

Kudos were given to the BOS for their handling of the pandemic response. Praise was also given to the BOS, Town Clerk Will Kidder and Public Works Director Bob Harrington for the smooth running of the primary elections on 9/8/20 at the Public Works Garage. There were 1,603 total votes cast, with more than 700 of them in the form of absentee ballots. This was almost double the number of ballots cast in the last primary. Some of the absentee ballots had to be rejected because the inner envelope was improperly completed.

Selectman Janet Kidder reported that there has been a sizable increase in town population since the start of the pandemic; it appears that second homeowners have relocated to New London during this time. Estimates range from 200-500 additional residents who plan to stay on for the foresee-able future.

The status of New London Place was questioned, as building appears to be at a standstill. There may be a change in plans, with more free standing units, with fewer units in the lodge. However, this is specu-lation, not confirmed fact. The NH State Liquor Store will be relocated to the site of McKenna’s Restaurant. There is talk that the current liquor store space may be rented by the building lessor, Crosspoint, to Han-naford for a pharmacy. A full service deli was another suggested use. The last part of

the half hour was devoted to brief discussion of the schools. KRSD is currently using a hybrid model; a combination of remote and in-person classes. The schools have been able to purchase the necessary PPE.

Generous donations to the New London Police Benevolent Association made the purchase of a LiveScan fingerprint machine

possible. Police officers will now be able to get results of fingerprint background checks within minutes. Selectman Janet Kidder appointed to Lakes Management Advisory Committee, Governor Sununu and the Ex-ecutive Council confirmed the nomination of Janet Kidder to serve on the Lakes Manage-ment Advisory Committee (LMAC).

Court orders Stoddard man to clean-up his property The town of Stoddard is suing Mirle

Cross over a dilapidated motor home, weed-covered SUV, oil drums, tires, old fencing and numerous car batteries cover-ing an Old Antrim Road property. Accord-ing to Harry Powers, the town’s compliance office, “It’s been like that for years.”

The town has been trying to get Cross to clean up his property for years, according to powers. Aside from violating ordinances on junk vehicles, the property poses an environmental hazard to neighbors. The property on Old Antrim Road is adjacent to Island Pond, one of the many bodies of water that attract visitors to Stoddard. Powers said there is concern that oil, gas,

battery acid and other chemicals could leak and seep into the water.

Earlier this year, Powers and Selectman Charles Fossberry secured a warrant to get on the property and perform an inspec-tion. They reportedly found several more junk cars along with barrels, scrap metal and trailers. The case was heard in court on Sept. 11 and Judge David Ruoff ordered Cross to clean up the property by the end of October. The town initially sought a $10,000 lien on Cross’ property to make sure he cleans it up, but Ruoff is holding that off to give Cross time to clean the property. Cross and Powers are due back in court on Nov. 3rd for a compliance check.

Lenders often define “no-cost” refinancing differently, so be sure to ask about the specific terms offered by each lender. Basically, there are two ways to avoid paying up-front fees.

The first is an arrangement in which the lender covers the closing costs, but charges you a higher interest rate. You will pay this higher rate for the life of the loan.

Tip: Ask the lender or broker for a comparison of the up-front costs, princi-pal, rate, and payments with and without this rate trade-off.

The second is when refinancing fees are included in (“rolled into” or “financed into”) your loan—they become part of the principal you borrow. While you will not be required to pay cash up front, you will instead end up repaying these fees with interest over the life of your loan.

Tip: When lenders offer a “no-cost” loan, they may include a prepayment pen-alty to discourage you from refinancing within the first few years of the loan. Ask the lender offering a no-cost loan to explain all the fees and penalties before you agree to these terms.

Check exactly what fees may be waived on a “no-cost” mortgage. Chances are you will still need to pay escrows for hazard insurance and property taxes, local transfer taxes, daily interest from the closing date to the first day of the next month, and perhaps other items at closing.

Henniker students practicing FreewritingSixth graders at the Henniker Community School have a pas-

sion for reading and writing. "I am so thrilled to have an abun-dance of readers and storytellers in my class," said their teacher Mrs. Thomas. On this day, the students participated in sharing their 'free-writes' to the class. Freewriting is a writing strategy developed by Peter Elbow in 1973 that is similar to brainstorming but is written in sentence and paragraph form without stopping. Students Rowan and Cailin worked together to create a story called "The Virus."

Crotched Mountain Foundation seeks $3.8 million to wind down servicesThe Crotched Mountain Foundation is

asking the state to help it utilize about $4 million in restricted endowment funds as it winds down services and staffing at Green-field’s Crotched Mountain School. The NH Attorney General’s office announced that the Crotched Mountain Foundation needs nearly $6 million in order to successfully wind down services at the Greenfield school by December 31st while continuing to maintaining safety and pay staff.

The foundation has received a $1.5 mil-lion grant from the Department of Health and Human Services and has another $650,000 in unrestricted funds, which leaves about $3.8 million remaining to cover.

The Crotched Mountain Foundation re-cently met with the Director of Charitable Trusts requesting access to Crotched’s Endowment Fund, an institutional fund that Crotched can only access under the restrictions of NH RSA 292:B.

Crotched’s petition argues that the foundation is eligible for the $3.8 million requested from the Endowment Fund because it exhausted all other procedural and financial options before requesting the

money, and because the money would go to further the original intent of the endow-ment. Gersh Autism expressed interest

in taking over the Crotched Mountain campus, but a final decision on that has yet to be made public.

The results of the low-dose prednisolone in patients with hand osteoarthritis (HOPE) study presented at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology show that low-dose prednisolone significantly improves pain and function in patients with painful hand osteoarthritis. Hand osteoar-thritis is a common joint disease. It is characterized by stiff and painful joints. Given the burden of disease, there is a need for effective therapeutic options. Treatments are

currently limited to topical and oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve pain.

• • •For patients with prostate cancer, treating the disease with androgen depri-vation therapy (ADT) is linked to a higher likelihood of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, compared to patients who do not receive the therapy, according to a new study published in JAMA.

• • •Treatment with gabapentinoids—a group of drugs used for epilepsy, nerve pain and anxiety disorders—is associated with an increased risk of suicidal behavior, unintentional overdose, injuries, and road traffic incidents, finds a study published by The BMJ. Prescriptions have risen steeply in recent years, and gabapentinoids are among the top 15 drugs globally in terms of revenue. The risks are strongest among 15 to 24 year-olds, prompting the researchers to suggest that treatment guidelines for young people should be reviewed.

Gum disease was associated with a higher rate of strokes caused by hardening of large arteries in the brain and also with severe artery blockages that haven’t yet caused symptoms, ac-cording to new research. Researchers examined 265 patients (average age of 64; 49% white; 56% male) who experienced a stroke between 2015 and 2017, analyzing whether gum dis-ease was associated with specific types of stroke. They found:

• Large artery strokes due to intracranial atherosclerosis were twice as common in patients with gum disease as in those without gum disease;• Patients with gum disease were three times as likely to have a stroke involving blood vessels in the back of the brain, which controls vision, coordination and other vital bodily functions; and• Gum disease was more common in patients who had a stroke involving large blood vessels within the brain, yet not more common among those who had a stroke due to blockage in blood vessels outside the skull.

In 1,145 people who had not experienced a stroke, researchers measured blockages in arteries inside the brain. Researchers found:• Arteries in the brain were severely blocked (50% or more) in 10% of participants;• People with gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) were twice as likely to have moderately severe narrowed brain arteries from plaque buildup compared to those with no gum disease; and• After adjusting for risk factors such as age, high blood pressure and high cho-lesterol, people with gingivitis were 2.4 times as likely to have severely blocked brain arteries.

New Boston girl is the 2020 winner of NH Maple Producers AwardThe New Hampshire Maple Produc-

ers Association (NHMPA) is pleased to announce that the winner of this year’s Walter A. Felker Memorial Award is Kaylin Emerson of New Boston.

Open to NH youth ages 16 and younger, the statewide contest aims to encourage interest in the Granite State’s great maple sugaring tradition. Students are asked to create a project on any aspect of maple sugaring they find interesting or want to learn more about. This year’s top prize

went to Kaylin for her paper about maple chemistry. Kaylin said she wanted to look at maple sugaring from a new angle. By asking herself what is in maple syrup and what makes it different from one batch to another, she learned about different sugars, like sucrose, fructose and glucose, and how microorganisms and heat affect syrup.

The annual contest drew projects from K-12 students from around the state, in-cluding popsicle stick sugar houses, a family

history of maple sugaring from a simple pot over a fire to an evaporator, a garland of maple facts, a collage/poster over 7 square feet, and a cure to COVID-19 boredom ma-ple activities booklet. Awards were granted for the top three projects; second place went to Cecelia LeBlanc and third place Trevor Gaudet. When asked if she would recommend the Felker to other students, Kaylin enthusiastically said yes. “It’s a lot of fun and you learn so much from it.”

Francestown expecting a scarecrow invasionThe Francestown Select Board approved the Recreation

Department’s request to decorate the Town Common with scarecrows, however any decisions regarding Halloween activi-ties will be reserved until DHHS provides guidelines at the end of the month. Building Inspector/Code Enforcement John Kendall informed the Board of the continued progress with a junkyard violation on Old County Road North. The Board voted to issue a Notice of Violation to Richard Patten regarding the responsibility to remove or rebuild his house that was destroyed by fire. Officer Frederick Douglas addressed the speeding issues on Main Street and reported that the statistics captured by the radar speed signs do not support the premise that the majority of traffic through town is abusing the speed limit. He explained that other respon-sibilities of the Department, such as house checks and patrolling the 50+ miles of roads, have resulted in fewer accidents and no burglaries in the last three years. Fire Chief Larry Kullgren asked the Board to consider replacing the two old station doors which were installed 35 years ago. The doors would cost $3,400 each and the openers $1,200 each. Mr. Kunhardt thought this should be in the CIP and Mr. Howell asked the Chief to check with Mt. Crotched Firefighters Association if they would be willing to help with the purchase.

Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg died last week after a long and distinguished career. She and I could not be farther apart politically and philosophically, but she is to be admired as a brilliant jurist and life-long champion of women’s equality.

Let me make a bold prediction. Presi-dent Trump’s nominee to fill this seat will face vicious, personal attacks on his or her character, regardless of his or her qualifica-tions for this distinguished position.

In the nominations of both Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Sonia Sotomayer, the two most recent Supreme Court Justices nominated by a Democrat President, Re-publicans expressed their frustration that the nominees were too liberal, but never attacked their personal character.

They were approved after a relatively short process.

WHY? Because, regardless of their po-litical philosophy, they were QUALIFIED, which is the only requirement they should be judged on.

Publisher's PerspectiveRuth Bader Ginsberg R.I.P.

Now compare the personal attacks and lies leveled at the last four judges nomi-nated by Republican Presidents. The whole process of judging nominees on the basis of qualification alone took a downturn with the nomination of Robert Bork, a highly qualified jurist. The same smear tactics were used against Clarence Thomas (OMG, a Black man nominated by Republicans). Anita Hill was the first in a long line of character assassins, rolled out by the Democrats in the US Senate to block the nomination of a candidate with whom they disagree philosophically. More recently, you will remember the vicious attacks on Judges Brett Kavenaugh and Neil Gorsuch.

The Politics of Hate must end now.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg Sonia Sotomayer

Robert Bork Clarence Thomas

Brett Kavenaugh Neil Gorsuch

She spent hours gardening at her own home as well as around town. Residents and tourists alike were able to enjoy the results of her green thumb around the esplanade in Newbury. The flourishing blooms in the

Weare Board denies campground extensionAll Seasons Campground Condominium requested that the

Weare Select Board allow people to stay in November. Town Ad-ministrator Naomi Bolton responded to the email stating when condominiums are purchased it is with the knowledge they are not to stay during the month of March and November. Chairman Jack Meaney mentioned there was a court decision, which, along with the Planning Board, said no. Meaney mentioned taxes; they do not pay the same as a full-time resident, and they will start putting children into the school system. Selectman Osborne stated he does not think we should go that route. The Board decided to stick with the court's decision.
