The Hillsboro-Deering School Board held a public hearing on Monday April 15 to get public permission to access the Maintenance Expendable Trust to cov-er the replacement cost of

plumbing in the Elemen-tary School that contains quantities of lead higher than levels accepted by the State.

Although the hearing was noticed properly, there was no public comment made.

The quote accepted by the school board was provided by Granite State Plumbing and Heating for $46,298. Board members voted to provide $50,000 for the project so there would be several thousand

H-D approves plumbing replacement

With the Hopkinton School District geared up to address much of the deferred maintenance its buildings need with the passage of the facilities project bond in March, the district also is giving atten-

tion to its Capital Improve-ment Plan (CIP) in the hope of keeping ahead of issues going forward. At last Thursdays School Board meeting, the Board spent considerable time review-ing the plan with Super-intendent Steve Chamber-lain. They also gave final

approval to their charge to the Facilities Committee working on implementing the facilities project.

As part of that dis-cussion Superintendent Chamberlain spoke about the need for a fire suppres-sion system at the Harold

for any contingencies. However, board members are not decided on whether to draw the funds from the Mainte-nance Expendable Trust, which is set up as an emergency fund for unexpected Maintenance needs.

Also, Facilities Director James Bailey pointed out that he is applying of a grant from the Department of Educa-tion that would cover 50 percent of the cost. However, the chances of getting the grant are unknown.

“I don’t know how competitive schools are for that grant money,” said Bailey.

Board member Rich Pelletier suggested the project

be funded from the year-end surplus rather than from the emergency Maintenance Expendable Trust. He pointed out that there is only about $150,000 to $160,000 in the Trust, and this would bring that Trust down to about $110,000.

Although the business administrator was not present at the meeting, Pelletier noted that the project isn’t going to begin until summer, leaving time to confer with the business administrator about how much surplus may be available.

Board members voted to authorize funding for the project up to $50,000 without deciding on whether to take the money from the Trust or the end of year surplus.

Brian Duggan, Munic-ipal Resources, Inc (MRI) attended this week’s Se-lectmen’s meeting to discuss their help to the town in procuring a new Fire Chief. Duggan has spent 28 years as a career fireman and 40 years in Emergency Medical Tech-nician.

MRI is basically up and down the Eastern Coast, specifically in New Hampshire where they customize recruitment for towns in need of a Fire Chief.

Duggan did make a

comment that this is not as easy as one may hope as the market is tight. A lot of fire fighters are ag-ing out of volunteering. It of course would be de-sirable if the recruit could be from the community, however if not, then it has to be a balance between distance and skill. If from a distance, then it would be the responsibility of the Chief to set up a depart-ment to run until the Chief can get to a problem area.

It would be the re-sponsibility of the town to advertise the job descrip-tion, a cooperate effort in-cluding the current Chief,

and then the MRI service would review resume’s and do all the background checks. Duggan replied that a Forty thousand ($40,000.00) annual sal-ary would be average for a 24-hour week, custom-ized to the need of the town in reply to John Pfei-fle’s, Selectman question.

The Selectmen have been having some diffi-culty with Department of Environmental Services in obtaining shoreline permis-sion for the Bement Bridge project, and will contact Hoyle, Tanner & Associ-ates to initiate setting up a waiver appeal with DES.

Bradford searches for new Fire Chief

During Veteran’s Day weekend last fall, Nate Kimball of Valley Excavating regraded the very steep and unsafe en-trance to Azalea Park. Now that spring has arrived, Jon Pruit of Eastern Valley Landscaping is working to complete the final hardscaping of the entrance. That in-cludes the installation of an entry patio, the kiosk, the wrought iron arch replica, steps down to the path and boulders to stabilize the slope.

The progress is very exciting to see for the many folks who have donated to this project over the past two years! Planting the bushes will be the last step planned for mid-May.

Standing at the new entrance and look-

ing down at the river, I was struck by the peace and natural beauty of this park. The stillness was interrupted by a raven find-ing a perch in a lofty pine and the soft voic-es of people walking through the park and sitting at the benches and picnic tables. It is a place for all to enjoy— even the bea-vers who think the riverside trees will make a good home!! And, of course, the sight of the river slowly meandering past before it gathers speed beyond the stone arch bridge provides the reason we are dil-igently working to restore the park.

We sincerely thank all of those who have patiently awaited this progress.

We are looking forward to an opening celebration when the new and safe en-trance is completed.

Stay tuned!!

Veronica Sophie (Lipkvich) StoyakVeronica Sophie (Lipkvich) Stoyak, 96, of Deering,

passed peacefully on March 28, 2019, at the Concord Hospice House, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born June 8, 1922 in Branford, Connecticut to Joseph and Agnes (Roseka-vich) Lipkvich. She married Louis Stoyak on August 1, 1942. They lived and raised their children in Branford, Connecticut.

Veronica is predeceased by her parents, her husband in 1973, her three brothers, John Lipkvich (Viola), Frank Lipkvich (Elsie), Stephen Lip-

kvich (Louise), and 5 sisters, Mildred Golden (Edwin), Agnes Dudley (Fred), Julia Lipkvich, Esther Fuersten-berger (Frank) and Anna Lipkvich.

She is survived by her son Lou, of Deering, her daughter, Agnes of Hopkinton, her seven grandchildren, Arnold, Kristopher, Heather, Shaline, Natasha, Robert and Mikayla and 6 great-grandchildren, Zachary, Ve-ronica, Ashley, Alexis, Christopher and Izabella, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Veronica enjoyed cooking, quilting, reading, swim-ming, gardening, traveling, listening and dancing to the sounds of polish music played by the Stoyak Orchestra and spending time with her family. She enjoyed her in-dependence and lived on her own until the age of 96. Her devotion to her family, elaborate storytelling, and spitfire personality will never be forgotten.

A graveside service will be held in her memory on Friday, April 26 at 1:30 p.m. at St. Agnes’ Cemetery in Branford, Connecticut.

The Holt-Woodbury Funeral Home & Cremation Service Hillsborough, NH is assisting the family.

The family would like to thank the Concord Visiting Nurses Association and the staff at the Concord Hospice House for their wonderful care, support and patience.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to the Concord Regional Hospice House, 240 Pleasant Street, Concord, NH 03301.

Stephen Gardner WatersStephen Gardner Waters, age 84, of Hopkinton and

Deering, passed away after a long illness on April 5, at home. Born in Bridgeport, CT, the son of Dorothy Gavitte Waters and Everett Oyler Waters, he grew up outside of New Haven in Mt. Carmel, graduated from Mt. Hermon School (now Northfield-Mt. Hermon, Northfield, MA) - Class of ’52, received a BA from Yale University in 1956 and a MALS from Wesleyan Univer-sity in 1963. He served in the U.S. Army Reserves.

Steve began his teaching career at the Fay School (Southborough, MA) 1956. From 1959 to 1970, he taught

English and Social Studies at the Englewood School for Boys (now the Dwight-Engle-wood School, in Englewood, NJ), became Principal of the lower-school, and Assistant to the Headmaster.

From 1970 until 1991, Steve served as Headmaster of St. Andrew’s School (Bar-rington, RI). The school was

founded in 1893 to serve disadvantaged boys. During Steve’s tenure, he introduced programs to help kids with learning differences. In 1982 he introduced co-educa-tion.

Steve was interim Headmaster (1991-92) at the Oak-wood School (Poughkeepsie, NY).

From 1992 to 1997 he served as Headmaster of the Charles Armstrong School (Belmont, CA), a school for the dyslexic learner. Steve’s “whole child” approach added arts and physical education to the curriculum. This introduced self-expression to the students as well as a sense of community.

In 1997, he and his wife, Jane, returned to New En-gland, to their beloved farmhouse in Deering, NH. Al-though retired, Steve remained committed to education and to his community. In 1997 he became a consultant for the administration of St. Thomas-Moore (Oakdale, CT). He became Vice-President of the Hillsborough Historical Society and was elected to two terms on the Hillsboro-Deering School Board (2000-2006). In 2007, Steve, along with his wife, Jane, was honored to be chosen as Citizens of the Year. Other contributions included: Youth Diversion Program (2005-17); Dun-can-Jenkins Trust, Grant Committee (2000-006); Deer-ing Foundation (Eleanor Campbell Charitable Fund), Board Member, and Emeritus. Steve also served the State of New Hampshire on several educational boards where he especially enjoyed mentoring student teach-ers for Plymouth State University as a Clinical Faculty member. Closer to home at LINEC (Learning Institute at New England College) he enjoyed attending classes and served as chairperson for its 25th-anniversary cele-bration. A life-long learner, Steve often said: “I never left school!”

In 2000 he joined the Deering Community Church where he had responsibilities as Moderator and as a member of several committees including the choir. He also was a leader of the planning committee for the UCC “Prepared to Serve.”

In 2013 Steve and Jane moved to Hopkinton, but kept up with their close ties in Deering.

An accomplished pianist and downhill skier, Steve was a gifted writer and public speaker with featured ed-itorials in the Concord Monitor. He enjoyed traveling, the annual “mini-reunions” with his classmates from Northfield-Mt. Herman, and weekly outings with friends known as the “Knights of the Roundtable” whose motto is “Often in error, never in doubt.” Steve was a member of the AMC for fifty years, spending many memorable summers with his family at Three Mile Island Camp on

Lake Winnipesaukee, NH. Steve is fondly remembered for his kindness and

respect for everyone, his listening skills, his enduring faith in people’s better angels, his humility, generosi-ty, wry sense of humor, and ever-ready smile. Perhaps most important in his life was his wife, Jane, married for 54 years. They were known for their coordinating and matching outfits!

Preceded in death by his parents, sister, Deborah Wa-ters, and daughter, Carolyn Maren Waters. He is sur-vived by his wife Jane; son John and his wife, Tracy, their children, Turner, Jack, and Greer; his sister Hope Waters Thomas; nephews, Jim Hattstaedt, Bill Thomas, James Thomas, Peter Thomas, Ben Thomas, and niece, Martha Quigley, and their spouses.

Donations may be made to the Deering Commu-nity Church, 763 Deering Center Road, Deering, NH 03244, or The Stephen G.Waters Scholarship Fund, St. Andrew’s School, 63 Federal Rd., Barrington, RI 02806

A celebration of Steve’s life will be at the Deering Community Church, 763 Deering Center Road, Deer-ing, NH at 2:00 PM on Saturday April 27.

Beverly Ann Powers Beverly Ann (Martowski) Powers passed away un-

expectedly on Sunday, April 14, 2019. She was born in Waltham, MA, on August 16, 1941, to Eleanor (Carson) and William Martowski.

Bev grew up in Cochitu-ate, MA and lived in Franklin, MA, before moving to Ant-rim, NH, in 1978. Bev and her husband moved to Hillsbor-ough, NH in the late ‘90s. For many years, Bev was a mem-ber of Antrim Baptist Church

and later became a member of the Hillsboro United Methodist Church.

Throughout her life, she worked at Goodell’s in Ant-rim, Cricenti’s Market in Hillsborough, and Osram Syl-vania in Hillsborough. Bev was a hot ticket. She may have had quite a sense of humor, but she was also a lady with class. She always kept up with the latest styles and loved shopping. She enjoyed going to yard sales even more. She loved camping and deep-sea fishing and spent many days sitting on the beach at the ocean with her best friend, Edie.

She was proud of all of her grandchildren and espe-cially of her great grandchildren. Over the years, Bev adored her pet dachshunds, Munchkins, Otis, Dorothy, and Rusty. She will be remembered by all who knew her as a spitfire and also as somebody who would give you the shirt off of her back--a true salt of the earth kind of person.

She was predeceased by her beloved son, David “Bugsy” W. Powers Jr. in 1995.

She is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, Da-vid W. Powers Sr., of Hillsborough and their two daugh-ters, Cheryl Powers and Scott Gerini, of Deering, and Marcie Ostertag and Claude Ferren, of Hillsborough.

Merle R. “Joe” Patenaude, Jr. Merle R. “Joe” Patenaude, Jr., 85, died on April 19.

He was born May 18, 1933, the first child of Merle R. Patenaude, Sr. and Marjorie (Smith) Patenaude in Henni-ker, NH.

He is survived by his wife, Beverly (Bailey) Patenaude; his siblings, David Patenaude, Wayne Patenaude, Stuart Pat-enaude of Henniker and Di-ane McMahon of Hooksett; his children, Joey Patenaude of Henniker and Susan Pat-

enaude of Narragansett, RI; his grandchildren Ross Pat-enaude of Henniker and Hayden Dekker of Long Beach, CA.

He graduated from Henniker High School in 1951 and furthered his education at UNH. He served in the US Army during the Korean Conflict, stationed in An-chorage, AK. After returning from military service, he met and married Beverly Ann Bailey of Boscawen. Also at this time he and his brother, David Patenaude, became co-owners of Pat’s Poultry Place, an egg business in Hen-niker started by his father in 1937. In 1962, he and David, along with their brother Stuart, began developing another business in Henniker, a ski area they named Pats Peak. He and his brothers performed much of the work them-selves, including clearing trails and building the lodge.

Always an avid gardener and fruit grower, in 1979 he acquired land on the hill behind Pats Peak and estab-lished Peak Orchards, where he grew apples and peaches. Peak Orchards became the focus of his energy upon his retirement from the ski business in 1993.

While his greatest passion was growing things, he also enjoyed deep-sea fishing and golf. He was an ac-complished golfer, winning both the New Hampshire and New England left-handed golfing championships when he was in his twenties. The self-taught knowledge he ac-quired to install Pats Peak’s innovative snow-making sys-tem led to work as a consultant for Alford International, a

snowmaking design and construction company. In 1973, he was instrumental in the establishment of the Valley Bank of Hillsborough and Henniker, where he served as vice-president of the board of directors.

Friends and family are invited to attend a celebration of his life when the trees are in bloom at his beloved or-chard, the exact date and time yet to be announced.

The Holt-Woodbury Funeral Home & Cremation Ser-vice Henniker, NH is assisting the family.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Joe’s name to the Henniker Rescue Squad 216 Maple St. Hen-niker, NH 03242

High School Sports By John Segedy Stone Bridge Post

The John Stark Baseball team won a pair of home games this week bringing their record to 4-0. Last Friday they defeated the Kingswood Knights 13-6 and then Wednes-day they beat the Plymouth Bobcats 9-5.

Friday they got strong pitching from Sophomore Austin Hazzard who threw 4 innings of shutout ball, allowing only 3 hits, no walks and 5 strikeouts. Offensively the Generals had contributions through out the lineup, led by Rian Queen (3-3, 3 RBI, 3 Runs), Nathan Innerfield (2-3, 3 RBI) and Aaron Robertson (3-5, 2 Runs). Glen Spooner and Tryten Williams each record-ed their first varsity hits.

Wednesday Aaron Robertson’s 3-run home run in the sixth inning put John Stark ahead for good as the Generals led early but saw the Bobcats tie the game in the fourth. The Generals needed to overcome some fielding struggles despite strong pitching from Brett Patnode (4 IP, 0 ER, 4 H & 10 K) and Nathan Isabelle (3 IP, 0 R, 1 H & 3 K). Patnode also contributed at the plate go-ing 1-1 with 3 walks, rbi, sb and run. Rian Queen went 2-3 2B RBI Run SB and lead-off hitter Brady Phillibotte went 2-3 with a walk and 2 runs scored.

The boys have a busy week when they return next week, hosting Stevens on Mon-day, Kearsarge on Tuesday and Merrimack Valley on Wednesday.

SoftballThe Lady Generals rebounded from

their slow start with a pair of victories this week, defeating Kingswood 14-2 last Fri-day and Plymouth 5-4 on Wednesday.

Against Kingswood both teams scored a run in the first inning and the Generals added three in the second to take the lead, while pitcher Isabella Nelson shut down the Knight bats. John Stark added six runs in the fifth and then four more in the sixth for the walk off win.

Offensively Kali Kolehmainen went 3 for 3 along with a walk and being hit by a pitch while Isabela Nelson went 3 for 4. Nelson took the win on the mound with 9 strikeouts only allowing three hits and a walk.

Wednesday the Lady Bobcats jumped out to a three run lead in the top of the first.

After John Stark tied the game in the sec-ond, Kingswood came back in the top of the third with a run that was equaled by the Generals in the bottom of the inning. In the Generals fourth, they finally went ahead for good with Grace Bolduc scoring on an Izzy Nelson single. Plymouth threatened in the seventh, loading the bases after their first two outs but were shut down by Nelson’s eighth strikeout of the game.

The girls host Stevens on Monday and Merrimack Valley on Wednesday.

Boys LacrosseThe John Stark Boys Lacrosse team

lost a pair of games this week falling to Windham 11-5 last Friday and then to Bow on Tuesday 17-12. Coach Howard Roever comented after Friday’s game: “We played today with ten varsity players and a bunch of JV filling in. I’ve never been prouder of an effort during my time at Stark, against a very good team.”

Kayden Easter led the Generals offense with 3 goals and 2 assists. Cam Fortin contributed 1 goal and 2 assists and Peyton Marden 1 goal and 1 assist. Ethan Konrad had a busy afternoon with 20 saves in goal.

The team hosts Coe-Brown on Tuesday.

Letters to the EditorDear Editor;Good News! We are very excited to see the plans developing for the

new History Alive Event, (replacing Living History), in Hillsborough on August 17th and 18th. This year the sites will be more focused on Jones Road, Hillsborough Center and a Contra Dance on Saturday at Stonewall Farm B&B on the Windsor Road.

Jones Road will have the war reenactments, and the tent community showing how soldiers sheltered, cooked and made what they needed. Panning for gold will be available at the river. The popular reenactors will be engaging us with their very believable performances.

Up in the Center, One Judge Staines, the escaped slave belonging to Martha Washington, will share the story of her escape and how she managed to evade capture. Stories of the underground railroad in New Hampshire will also be told.

The Center will focus more on the lives of women and children from 1770 to 1860, showing both the hard work of making and growing everything you need plus the fun of simple children’s games of the time.

The schoolhouse will be open and the history of the houses in the Center will be shared. The Congregational Church is celebrating 250 years in the Center this summer.

At Well Sweep Gallery antique quilts will be on display, along with other antique items, a stroller, a baby bath, and more. And Dorothea Jensen will be at the gallery telling stories of Lafayette in New Hampshire after the revolution.

Save the date and watch for more details as the weeks go by.

Jane Pinel, Old Hillsborough Center

An open letter to the blonde with the white SUVThank you, despite the criminal trial precipitated by the

generous gifts you gave me outside Antrim’s 1st Presbyte-rian thrift store. (I especially like the handwoven jacket by Sue Corbett.)

I have a favor to ask of you. Would you be so kind as to call Sarah Edwards, Clerk of the Session (547-0350 days / 588-6861 evenings) ? You see, when she failed to get me arrested for “unauthorized taking,” she had a No Trespass order issued. Needles to say, I was ticked off and, having previously witnessed offensive behavior by a dispropor-tionate number of other church members, decided on an act of civil disobedience. So I told the police officer serving the order to follow me to the church where I trod upon their lawn, and stopped in front of the sign reading, “Hate Has No Home Here,” and was arrested for Criminal Trespass.

At the trial, at which I had no legal defense, the judge See LETTERS, Page 15

Martin School. Current thinking is to spend $5k to $10k to develop bid ready plans and then obtain bids so that when bids are obtained for the facility project the Board will have the information needed to determine if the fire suppression system can be included in the overall project or funding sought elsewhere.

Also discussed was use of the Maintenance Trust to fund CIP items. Planned is spending about $61k on a number of projects including a hot water heater, two circu-

latory pumps and $5k of classroom furniture. Next year with $140k being added to the fund, plans are to spend $190kincluding $30k for paving, $22k for duct cleaning, $20k for drainage work for Georges park adjoining the school driveway and the district’s $40k annual payment for the ‘energy / performance’ contract.

Superintendent Chamberlain also updated the Board on lead testing of their water as required of all the states schools this year. He noted that they had already met the State requirement (15 parts per million - [ppm]) and were seeking prices for remediating sources in the 5-15 ppm

range. Superintendent Chamberlain also is seeking in-formation about what would be involved to achieve lead free (0 ppm) to give the Board what it needs to weigh their options.

In a preview of their next meeting Superintendent Chamberlain noted that enrollment projections are indeed up with the Kindergarten count already up by twelve to sixty-three. The Board will have a full discussion of en-rollment at their next meeting (May 2nd), including class sections needed at the High School and the likely need to use the contingency fund.

Members of the Contoocook Valley Radio Club (CRVC) gath-ered at the Hopkinton Library on April 9 to celebrate the Club’s 60th year in existence. Ken Wilkins, handle K1MID, and Louise French, handle K1LAS, from Henniker, were recognized with certificates as founding members.

The CVRC describes itself as a general interest Amateur Radio Club. It was formed on April 5, 1959 at a meeting called by Ham Radio operator Ken Dermon. Four-teen area Henniker amateurs were in attendance, including George Beardsley, Ken Wilkens, Lloyd Tewksbury, Robert Wood, Wil-fred French, Louise French, Ken

Dermon, Sid and Jerry Blanchard, Dean Morrison and Vic Krzyza-niak. The officers were Robert Wood as President, Ken Wilkens as Trustee, Louise French as Secre-tary and Janet Willard as Treasurer.

The Club was active in many community events, including building their own ham shack at the Hemlock corner Loop in Henniker.

But in June 1972, the Club was disbanded due to lack of participa-tion. However, 15 years later, ac-cording to the Club’s own history, the Club was revived in April of 1987 with the primary purpose of to build and operate a 2-meter re-peater in the Henniker area. Five original members returned to the Club at the time, and others joined. Since then the Club has grown to over 100 members.

asked if I condoned civil disobedience. “Certainly,” I re-sponded. With that, I was found guilty as charged. The prosecutor, Mike Beausoleil, asked for a $600 fi ne with $400 suspended. The judge , however, countered with a $500 fi ne, tacked on a $120 penalty assessment and then, to my amazement, suspended all of it.

Now, aside from being barred from the community suppers held at the church, Sarah’s hate-fi lled letter to the

police remains in my police fi le. I deserve an apology from her as well as the rest of the Session and I am hopeful a call from you attesting to the fact that I stole nothing will prompt them to act decently.

Thank you again for your generosity.
