$100,000 Challenge
To fund treatment for substance abuse in NH
With New Hampshire ranking 49th in access
to treatment for substance addiction, and heroin
use at epidemic proportions, Common Man
Family owner and founder Alex Ray has issued
a $100,000 matching gift challenge to NH residents to improve options in our state for friends,
family and neighbors seeking recovery. All gifts
received will help increase the number of treatment beds at Easter Seals NH, which has been
on the front lines of this battle through substance
abuse treatment programs at the Farnum Center
in Manchester and Farnum North in Franklin.
Ray announced the challenge—that if met the
end of October, will bring in a total of $200,00—
at the recent groundbreaking of Bartlett Cottage
in Franklin. Once the renovation of this building
is completed in February 2016, Bartlett Cottage
will house 20 co-ed treatment beds. Additionally,
Easter Seals is in the process of licensing roughly
42 existing beds for residential treatment at
Webster Place at Farnum North.
To make a gift to the Alex Ray $100,000
Challenge for Recovery by Nov. 1, 2015, please

New Boston couple temporarily homeless after fire
A second-alarm fire caused heavy damage to
a New Boston home Saturday night. Fire Chief
Daniel MacDonald says a quick response kept
most of the home in repairable condition, and
should allow the couple to move back in when
repairs are done. When firefighters arrived, they
found heavy flames coming from the middle,
or “ell” section of the home, where most of the
damage occurred. Damage in the main section of
the home and the garage was limited mostly to
smoke damage.
New Boston firefighters received assistance
from Bedford, Francestown, Goffstown, Lyndeborough, Milford, and Weare, and at least one
other town’s fire departments assisted in fighting
the fire, MacDonald said.

Hillsborough Masons name Frederick '2015 Community Builder'
The Masons of Hillsborough's Harmony Lodge hosted their Annual Veterans
and Special Ladies Banquet on Saturday.
Prior to the meal, each "Special Lady,"
the widow of a Mason was presented with
a rose and a reminder that members of
the lodge were available to assist them in
any way possible.
A representative of the Grand Master
of NH Masons was present to honor
Harmony Lodge veterans Phillip Harvey,
Donald Mellen and Phillip Woodbury,
Jr. Each was presented with a certificate
and pin commemorating their 70 years of
service to the fraternity.
Each year, Masons in NH present a
Community Builders Award to a nonMason, whose commitment to giving
something back makes their town a better
place to live, work and raise a family.
This year's recipient is Herb Frederick, who joined Hillsboro Lions Club in
1977, and has been one of its most active
members since. A long-time Chair of
the Club's Henry G. Martin Scholarship
Fund, Herb oversaw its growth to the
point where in 2015, the Club awarded
$7,000 in scholarships to H-D graduates.
Through his initiative, the Club has
given free dictionaries to each third
grader, and he regularly participates
in the Reading Is Fundamental (RIF)
program where the club gives free books
to every 1st thru 5th grader, three times
a year. When the Hillsboro Food Pantry
needed rebuilding, Herb chaired the
Club's "Penny Power" campaign which
raised over $10,000 for the project. Not
satisfied with past accomplishments,
Herb has taken up the Lions' International challenge of eradicating Measles worldwide. He hopes to raise $10,000 locally to
be matched by the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation.
Olde Fashioned Christmas
Members of Hillsborough Pride have
started planning for this year's Olde Fashioned Christmas. The traditional celebration of both the liturgical and commercial
aspects of the holiday will be held at venues
throughout town on December 5th from
8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Businesses who plan to
offer open houses or special sales should
call Jack Wells@ 464-3318 to be included
on the schedule and advertising. Crafters
please call Yvonne Weigleman @ 464-4640
to reserve a space. Schools, Churches,

should call Project Chairman Leigh Bosse
@ 464-3388 to be included in the schedule.
Past Master Leigh Bosse (l) and current Master Robert Burton (r) presented Herb Frederick (c) with a
plaque signifying his selection as the 2015 Community Builder as his family looks on.

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE
Hormones may not protect women from heart disease or stroke after menopause, but when combined with cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, they
may help protect women from these killers, shows
a population study from Sweden to be published
in the April issue of Menopause, the journal of The
North American Menopause Society (NAMS). During the study, women who took both hormones and

statins had a significantly lower risk of dying of any
cause and a moderately lower risk of dying of cardiovascular disease.

Many patients with type 2 diabetes in the United States may be discouraged from taking metformin — a proven, oral diabetes medicine
— because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration inappropriately
labels the drug unsafe for some patients also suffering from kidney
problems, researchers report in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Obesity guidelines recommend an initial weight loss goal of 5 to 10%
of start weight to improve health. A recent study found that patients
who received liraglutide 3.0 mg, combined with fewer calories and
more physical activitiy, were more than twice as likely to achieve at
least that level of weight loss, compared to patients on placebo who
made similar lifestyle changes. Patients who achieved that weight
loss showed improvements on a number of health markers, compared
to those who lost less, and the patients on liraglutide showed greater
improvements on measures of blood sugar control and blood pressure.
The results were presented at ENDO 2015, the annual meeting of the
Endocrine Society in San Diego.

The Newport Town Clerk’s Office in Newport received a moose
grant for over $9,800.00 for restoration and preservation of six of
Newport’s oldest town record books. Town Clerk Liselle Dufort said
they chose the oldest and most damaged books for the project. After
the books are restored, a digital copy will go to the NH State Library
and the NH State Archives, which is required by the grant. Durfort
said they are also getting digital copies to have at Richards Library
and Newport Historical Society, and eventually on line. Dufort also
thanked all of the people who bought the moose plates, making the
grant possible. Moose grants are available to municipalities and NH
conservation organizations.

John Stark-Hopkinton Robotics team begins competition
John Stark Regional High School's robotics team, Team 1922 OZRAM, kicked
off their season in September welcoming
nearly two dozen new freshmen to the
team.
John Stark partners with Hopkinton
Middle High School for the robotics
team, which is sponsored by Prototek,
MicroDaq.com Ltd, and the Mellen Company. This year the team unveiled a new
leadership structure that was developed
over the past year. Jacob Walling (Hopkinton) and Lucas Anderson (JSRHS)
serve as captains for the team, while
Alyssa Robichaud (JSRHS), Nick Mayo
(Hopkinton), and Benjamin Trumble
(JSRHS) serve as “bucket leaders” for the
three main components of the team.
Team 1922 OZRAM competes in the
FIRST Robotics Competition, where
teams have six weeks to design, construct, and program a robot to complete
a task that varies from year to year. The
4 New Warner Firefighters
Warner Fire Chief Ed Raymond introduced Captain Brian Monaghan, who is
the Chair of the Screening Committee.
Brian said they have 4 new members that
have been voted onto the staff in the last
6 months, Matt Boyer, Mickey Violette
(4th generation), Sean Nichols (4th
generation) and Lauren Gibbons (EMT).
Selectman Clyde Carson thanked the 4 for
volunteering. He then asked the Fire Chief
for the total number of staff. Ed said the
count is at 39.
style of the game varies each season,
as well as how points are scored, robot
constraints, and the field layout.
One of the newer trends in the competitions is the idea of "Coopertition" where
teams or alliances are working against
each other in competition, but can also
cooperate and work together in a match
to score even more points. This is not a
philosophy seen in other sports, which
causes the students to really evaluate
team strategies all of the time. JSRHS Hopkinton Robotics Nick Mayo, Alyssa Robichaud, Jacob Walling, Lucas Anderson and
Ben Trumble.
Fund established to help purchase a wheelchair van
A campaign is underway in Goffstown to
help a single mother and her daughter who
was born with a rare disorder. Pam TaberMcCarthy’s 15-year-old daughter Maura was
born with a chromosomal disorder so rare it
has no name.
Maura is nonverbal and in a wheelchair
but still a big part of the Goffstown school
system, but getting around has been more
difficult.
The family van has 236,000 miles on it
and is nearly 9 years old, considered too old to
be modified for a wheelchair. Maura’s family
and friends hope to raise some of the $30,000
to $40,000 needed for a wheelchair van.

Ground broken for new $9.2 million Newport Health Center
Bruce King, president and CEO of New
London Hospital welcomed the crowd to
Tuesday’s official groundbreaking ceremony for a project of New London Hospital.
Citizens Bank will finance $6.8 million, and
$2.2 million will come from a fundraising
campaign.
Robert Rex, campaign chair and a
member of the board of trustees at New
London Hospital, announced that to date
about $250,000 has been committed, with
100% of the employees at Newport Health
Center contributing along with 100% of
the trustees and senior management at
the hospital. He also announced that “The
Roy Malool Family Foundation of Newport
has donated $350,000,” which brings
the fundraising drive closer to its goal at
$600,000. When the new building is com-
pleted and occupied, in about a year, the
present building housing will be torn down
and become part of the parking area.
The Deering Police receive a
Grant for bulletproof vests
Deering Police Chief James Pushee just

ConVal School Board presents two with "Chairman's Award"
ConVal staff members Emily Daniels
and Paul Barnes were awarded the Chairman's Award by School Board Chairman
Butch Estey at the ConVal School Board
Meeting on October 6, 2015.
Emily Daniels is a student assistance
counselor at ConVal and was recognized
for her work with the ConVal Substance
Abuse Task Force. She developed a
diverse group of members representing stakeholders from the high school,
middle school, elementary school, physicians, parents, students, police officers,
administrators, and MCH. Under Emily's
leadership, the Task Force went through
a comprehensive and structured strategic
planning process. Emily spent a great
deal of time building trust and a common
language within the group, which allowed
the team to have candid conversations
about a difficult issue. By the end of the
school year, the Task Force completed a
complete analysis of our current practices, policies, and procedures. After a
two day retreat in the summer, the Task
Force committed to a strategic plan that
focuses on three important issues; Public
Perception, Education, and Policy.
Paul Barnes is a custodian at the high
school. He is awesome at his job! Anytime you ask him for help he is right there
and never complains. He is helpful and
considerate and goes out of his way to
help students and staff. Paul is an active
member of our ConVal community and is
present at sporting events, faculty events,
and funness outings. He is positive and
friendly and has a great sense of humor.
Paul takes pride in his work at ConVal
and works with everyone to keep our
building clean and safe. Paul Barners (l) Emily Daniels (r)

Publisher’s Perspective
by Leigh Bosse
Big Brother is everywhere
Last week's Messenger contained yet
another two stories of government's lack
of common sense at all levels and its over
reaching into our private lives.
The owners of the Francestown Village Store have been told the addition of
a table and chairs to their long established deli counter transforms them
from a Country Store to a Restaurant,
so they must remove them and apply for
a variance. This is in tiny Francestown,
N.H.
More disturbing is the fact that the
Hillsboro-Deering School Board is
considering a policy that will apply to
all non-academic and non-educational
surveys and questionnaires "designed to
elicit information about a student's social
behavior, family life, religion, politics,
sexual orientation, sexual activity, drug
use, or any other information not related
to a student's academics." (emphasis
added)
If they request it, parents may opt-out
their child from the survey or questionnaire. Parents who do not opt-out their
child(ren) from the surveys or questionnaires will be deemed to have consented
to the survey or questionnaire. (emphasis added)
Board member Virginia "Ginks"
Leiby objected to the intrusive nature
of such surveys and suggested that the
policy should have an "Opt-In" provision
instead of requiring parents to opt out.
Ignoring her suggestion, the Board voted
3-1 with Leiby against and Paul Plater
absent to move the proposed policy to
second reading at its next meeting.
When I inquired at the SAU Office,
I was told that the NH School Boards
Association drafted the policy for this and
other school districts and that the policy
mirrors the language of the state law
which requires it.
RSA 186:11, IX-d simply states that
the Board of Education may "Require
school districts to adopt a policy governing the administration of non-academic
surveys or questionnaires to students." It
goes on to say that if it does, the district
must provide an "opt-out" provision. It
DOES NOT mandate that the district issue those types of personal and intrusive
surveys.
If the survey does not deal with
education or academics, the school has
no business asking, and, if it does, an optout provision is inadequate protection.
Proponents of school prayer would allow
students to opt-out of reciting the prayer,
an argument that is rejected by education
professionals as leaving a "stigma" on the
child opting-out. The same holds true
here. Can you imagine the stigma attaching to a family that opts-out of a survey
asking about the type and frequency of its
drug use or sexual activity.
Residents of other towns may want to
check to see if their boards have a similar
policy. The H-D Board should adopt a
policy that simply states: "The HillsboroDeering School District will not participate in such surveys or questionnaires."
Henniker man's child porn convictions overturned
In 2013, James Houghton, of Henniker, was convicted of 23 counts of
possessing child pornography.
However, this week the New Hampshire Supreme Court has overturned
nine of those convictions and one of the
judges believes six others should also be
overturned.
“In my view, the jury’s determination
that any of the individuals depicted in
exhibits 1 through 15 is in fact under age
18 must rely on a degree of speculation
that is fundamentally at odds with the
standard of fact-finder confidence sufficient to support a criminal conviction,”
Justice Robert Lynn wrote. Houghton
had been sentenced last year, to 27½
years in prison, but the matter has now
been sent back to Superior Court for a
new sentencing hearing.

Hillsborough Beautification Program
Hillsborough Selectman Alan Urquhart proposes that the
Board adopt a Beautification Program for the Town's Blighted Properties. A blighted property is defined as: marked by
withering, decay, peeling of paint, wilting or unkempt grass,
debris, trash or any unsanitary condition that reduces the
assessed value of a house, business, occupied, vacant, abandoned, property or any other condition, omitting a natural
catastrophe.
His proposal would include any person receiving a
financial exemption from the Town of Hillsborough qualifies
for The Beautification Program; any property owner, renter
or occupant may request the Beautification Program. The
Selectmen shall determine the request on the merits of the
owner's or occupant's ability to pay, cost of repairs and any
other property issue deemed necessary.
Once entered into the Beautification Program, a lien
would be levied on the property and collected in the same
manner as provided by RSA: 80; The Hillsborough Code Enforcement Officer would be authorized to enter any blighted
property during reasonable hours. The Officer may recommend to the Board:
a. To repair a property at the owner's expense
b. Apply the financial town exemption
c. Offer a tax credit
d. Set date to repay labor and materials
e. Request a lean
Urquhart stressed that his proposal was for discussion
only, and he urged input from all interested persons. The intent is not to punish people or dictate how buildings should
be, but to help the overall look of the Town to be more attractive to potential businesses and residents.
Franklin decides not to enforce its curfew
With the American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire threatening a lawsuit and after a federal judge struck
down a similar ordinance in Keene, the Franklin city council
has reversed itself and decided it will not enforce its recently
adopted curfew for those 16 and under. In a statement, the
council said, “The council regrets to announce that based
upon legal advice received from the city attorney, the ordinance will not be enforced for the foreseeable future.” The
council said it will work with state lawmakers.
Multiple Bow business burglaries
Bow Police are searching for a burglar who broke into
four businesses on River Road early Wednesday morning.
Authorities said the burglaries took place on River Road
between the hours of 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. In one instance,
the burglar stole $2,000, authorities said. He also tried to
break into a fifth business, damaging its door. Anyone with
information about the incidents is asked to call Bow Police
at 603-228-0511 or the Concord Regional Crimeline at 603226-3100.

Hillsborough's "Candy Man" sets record
The "Candy Man" has done it again. After selling a record breaking 75 1/2 boxes a year ago, he set a goal of 80 boxes this past year.
Once he finished his 80 boxes he upped his goal to 101. (A former
classmate had challenged
him to sell 101 boxes in a
year). Candy Man hit 101
boxes and kept on going.
When he had finished the last
case that Heidi Welch had
to give him, he stood at 127
boxes. At 40 bars per box,
that's 5,080 candy bars sold!
With the music department
receiving $.50 for every $1.00
bar sold, Brandon brought
in $2540.00 for his beloved
HDHS music department.
Along with that, he had
$219.42 in donations given
to him for a final total of
$2,759.42. The money this
year helped several students Brandon Lewis
to travel to N.Y.C. on the
annual music department trip. Brandon sells all around Hillsboro,
along with businesses in Keene and Concord. He also has his candy
at his sister's P.S.U. college basketball games and Yankee Lanes in
Keene where he is on a bowling league. If you see him around, there
is usually a box of candy bars with him. Since his sister Tiffany is the
new head coach of the HDHS girl's varsity basketball team, you can
expect to see him at all her games. His goal for this upcoming year
is 130 boxes which he will more than likely meet and surpass. Every
bar sold will bring him closer to his new goal. Brandon would like
to thank everyone who has bought from him and looks forward to
seeing you again this school year.
Calendar Raffle supports 8th grade trip
The Hillsboro Deering 8th grade class is raising money for a trip
to Washington D.C. They are selling tickets for a Calendar Raffle.
The raffle is for 30 days - the entire month of November. Thanks to
our amazing donors over $5000 in prizes will be drawn. Some items
are: a cord of wood, tickets to local ski areas, over $1000 in restaurant certificates, hotel stays, massage, and many, many more. For a
complete list and to purchase tickets contact your local 8th grader or
send an email to hd2dc2016@gmail.com to make arrangements for
local purchase. Please tell us if you know someone going on the trip.
Tickets are $10.00 each or 3 for $25.00.
Warner Exit 9 Roundabout in final stage
Warner Town Administrator Jim Bingham has announced that
the design phase of the Warner roundabout is nearly complete and
the architects will submit their final plan at the end of October.
Once the state approves those plans, the town can go out to bid for
construction, which should begin in April. Voters approved spending $735,00 to build the roundabout at March’s town meeting. Of
that sum, $490,000 will be reimbursed by the State Department of
Transportation.

CROSS COUNTRY
The October Cross Country Meet with the Henniker Community
School and Weare Middle School was possible due to a tremendous outpouring of community support. The meet was held at
the Henniker Community School on the New England College

support. John Stark Regional High School’s Cross Country Team
came to the Meet to help run the event. In the end, the win for
the boys went to the Henniker Community School and the win
for the girls to the Weare Middle School. The Henniker Team
is coached by Chris Nase and Samantha Weaver and Weare is
coached by Syd Barnes and Matt Hammond.

John Stark 33 Pembroke 0: Stark took control with touchdowns
on back-to-back drives in the first and second quarters, but Pembroke (1-5) was poised to answer with a first-and-goal from the Stark
8 with less than five minutes to go in the half. A false start after a run
for no gain moved the Spartans back, and Generals' linebacker Kyle
Booker intercepted the next pass to put a halt to the drive.
Redhawks 50 Pinkerton 21: The Redhawks played well overall, but
need to improve on their ball security throughout the remainder of
the season. Prince Mansah had 8 carries for 148 yds and 2 TD's.

NEC Profesor teaches at Henniker School
New England College Assistant Professor of Biology James
Newcomb, Ph.D, spent two mornings at the Henniker Community
School leading instruction in the seventh grade science class with
HCS teacher Sara Richards. The activities related to the human
body, specifically the
eye. In addition to
instruction on eye anatomy and participating in
a variety of vision tests,
the highlight for many
was the dissection of a
sheep’s eye under the direction of Dr. Newcomb.
“I really enjoyed working (L to R) Daniel Hilyard, Elijah Day, Orry Murwith Sara's seventh grad- dough, Dr. Newcomb, Ms. Richards
ers and exploring some of
the aspects of vision and how humans see the world,” said Professor
Newcomb about the experience. “The students expressed an abundance of curiosity with so many great questions, and a high level of
enthusiasm to participate in the various activities that Sara and I had
planned for them. Science teachers like Sara should be commended
for developing strong scientific knowledge and skills, and curiosity,
especially in our youth,” he continued.
When asked why he comes to the Henniker School, Professor
Newcomb said, “I relish the opportunity to witness and foster the excitement that kids in elementary and middle school often naturally
have for science. I am also acutely aware of the dearth of American
youths choosing science as a career. In this increasingly complex
and technological world, it is imperative for our country to develop
young minds with a keen interest and aptitude for science.”
“Having a college in our (literal) back yard and professors like Dr.
Newcomb, who are so generous with their time and resources, is a
benefit most elementary/middle schools don’t have the option of accessing,” said HCS Teacher Sara Richards. “We are most fortunate
and thankful for the additional learning opportunities available to
our students. Having members of our community share their enthusiasm and knowledge with students fosters students' curiosity to
learn,” she said.
