Soccer players show support for Halvorsen BY TIM CROES STAFF WRITER

ALTON — The Prospect Mountain School Board met on Tuesday, Sept. 3, and members of the boys’ varsity soccer team and parents came to voice their support for Cory Halvorsen, who has been helping out with the team. Letters of recommendation were provided and support was given by Kathleen Gilbert during public

Prospect board also talks testing issues input. Principal Jay Fitzpatrick explained via email that Halvorsen isn’t an official assistant coach, but is welcome to help out head coach Bubba Noyes when he is available as a volunteer. Superintendent Bob Cullison said that articles

would be coming out regarding the 10-year anniversary of Prospect Mountain High School in The Baysider. Fitzpatrick said the start of school went pretty smoothly. He asked the board to give him approval to establish a math day for the NECAP testing some-

time between Oct. 1 and Oct. 23 and the board agreed. Vice-chair questioned the students taking the NECAP tests even through Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) won’t be measured, and Fitzpatrick confirmed this. Fitzpatrick reported

that all sophomores would be taking the PSAT test this year. Fitzpatrick reviewed the 2013 Advanced Placement test results in English, history, chemistry, biology, physics, math and art. Many students passed the test in the different programs. In physics, 100 per-

cent of the six students enrolled in the class received a qualifying score on the test. Fitzpatrick reviewed the retention rate and said one junior, four sophomores and 12 freshmen were retained. He explained that several students were close to moving forward and several students attended summer school classes. SEE HALVORSEN, PAGE A12

Barnstead selectmen relieve road agent of his duties Board also receives reimbursement checks, hears DOT updates BY ELIZABETH CANTRALL Contributing Writer

BARNSTEAD — In the absence of Chairperson Priscilla Tiede, the Barnstead Board of Selectmen voted for Vice-Chairman David Kerr to sign a document stating the town received a check from the Local Government Center (LGC) regarding the Petty Liability Trust (PLT). Kerr signed on behalf of the board during their Sept. 3 meeting. The court ordered restitution was in the amount of $15,744.28. This was the second LGC check. The first came from the Health Trust in the amount of $35,074.12. Selectmen’s Secretary Karen Montgomery stated more of the court ordered reimbursements for overpayment were scheduled to arrive by December. Road Agent At the end of the meeting

INDEX

Kerr announced that Chris Carazzo is no longer the road agent for Barnstead. The interim road agent is Jim Doucet. In the letter the selectmen sent to Carazzo, informing him of his removal from office, the board sites RSA 231:65 stating that the selectmen may remove the highway agent from office if the agent “deliberately refuse or neglect to carry out the duties prescribed by law for highway agents after written request by the selectmen…” The board has made numerous requests of Carazzo to release copies of invoices or other documentation relating to the delivery of metals to companies in exchange for money and this request had not been followed. The board, therefore, voted to remove Carazzo from office effective this date of Sept. 3. Locke Lake Locke Lake Colony Association sent a letter to the board concerning a culvert issue.

Selectmen get update on Alton road projects BY TIM CROES Staff Writer

ALTON — The Alton Board of Selectmen met on Monday, Sept. 9, and were updated on road construction projects in town. Russ Bailey, the town administrator, said the work was recently completed on Trask Side Road and work on Bowman Road should be completed by the end of September. The next project is Depot Road and Bailey said this project could be quite time consuming. The location of the drainage system isn’t known and work on the waterlines will be required. Board members questioned if a line would be run down to the system from the town hall. The board authorized the town to hire a septic designer for the project. Bailey explained that the start of the projects on Monument Square and Old Wolfeboro Road would be pushed back until the spring. The board authorized the town to put the curbing and granite work out to bid for the project. The board approved the MS-5 provided by the auditor, which will allow the tax rate to be set. Bailey talked about bids to complete the rest of the

roof at the transfer station for a construction and demolition area. Wood is currently being removed from the Dahl property at the landfill. The house will be removed in the coming weeks. He also said that an attempt at drilling a monitoring well haven’t worked and a special track-mounted rig would be needed to drill a new monitoring well. Bailey talked to the board about letters that were sent previously from the New Hampshire Department of Transportation regarding encroachment on water. Bailey explained that steps and docks are located on state property along Route 11, but the state isn’t planning on taking action regarding the issue. The board discussed Old Home Day and Bailey said the festivities will be reviewed at the next board meeting. Vice-chair Cydney Johnson suggested that combining events with craft fair on Labor Day could present a challenge. Member Bob Daniels also talked about other towns doing fireworks on the same evening. Bailey said an update on the reverse 911 system would be coming in the

next few weeks. Bailey suggested including a pair of mailings with the tax bills. One flyer would be regarding people with special needs to contact the town during an emergency and second flyer would be regarding people locating house numbers on posts or mailboxes. The board approved including the two mailings with the tax bill. The board approved an administrative abatement recommended by the town assessor, a raffle permit submitted by American Legion Post 72 and road agreement and release for 181 Reed Road. The owner is planning on turning their current home into a garage and building a new home, and with the release, the owner is responsible for maintenance. Chair Loring Carr spoke about the Zoning Amendment Committee regarding workforce housing and questioned the legislation. He called it complicated, convoluted and possibly unconstitutional. He suggested that Daniels form a coalition to see if other towns in the area would be interested in challenging the law. The coalition would determine how much money it would

take to challenge the law. Daniels said he would be willing and the board approved Daniels leading a coalition. Carr also indicated that he was shocked that the town would be required to monitor the entire county to determine if they met the requirement for workforce housing. The board approved a donation of gift cards that will be given to members of the parks and recreation department. The board agreed to discuss donations and conflicts of in-

terest at a future meeting. A household hazardous waste and medicine collection day will be held at the Alton Transfer Station on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 8:30 a.m. until noon.

for four cottages. The board approved a waiver for the tank to be 53 feet from the lake, with the normal requirement being 75 feet. The board approved the minutes of Aug. 15, 19 and 29. The next scheduled meeting of the Alton Board Selectmen is on Monday, Sept. 23, at 6 p.m. at the Alton Town Hall. Tim Croes can be reached at [email protected] or 569-3126

Masons hosting breakfast on Sunday ALTON — The summer has flown on by, and people are looking squarely at the start of fall season. The leaves will be coming down and have to be raked up. Prune the bushes in the yard and weed the gardens.

The Masons of Winnipisaukee Lodge in Alton are ready to provide you with the fuel to do the work. On Sunday, Sept. 15, they will be hosting their breakfast buffet at the lodge, located on Route 28, just a quarter

mile south of the Alton Circle, and will be serving from 7 to 11 a.m. The Masons hope to see you there. For more information, go to www.winnipesaukeemasons.com, or contact Walter Gibbs at 387-2538.

As with all hazardous waste, please bring medicines in their original containers, markers are available to cross off patient’s ID. Please do not cross off medicine name and strength of drug. Call 651-7530 with any questions. Any hazardous household product marked dangerous, toxic, poison, or flammable, from the garage, garden shed, automotive fluids, cleaners,

etc. can be disposed of this Saturday at the same time as the special medicine collection. See the green flyer available at the solid transfer station for a complete list of products when you pick up your free hazardous waste pass. Medicines can only be disposed of at special collections due to the requirements for identification by a pharmacist and specific disposal requirements for controlled medicines to meet federal and state laws and solid waste requirements. Non-controlled prescription medicines are sent for secure incineration as a pesticide with a registered hazardous waste hauler and controlled substances are removed from the site by

local law enforcement. No medications are re-used or re-sold in compliance with state and federal regulations. Over-the-counter vitamins, herbals and personal care products are accepted for disposal with the pharmaceuticals. Examples of personal care products are: perfume, deodorants, hairspray, nail polish, etc. The collection is open from 8:30 a.m. to noon at Alton’s Transfer Station. To keep the line moving, residents from Alton bringing their oil-based paints and other products are encouraged to get a LRHHPF pass (different from the “dump sticker” on your windshield) prior to the Saturday collection date.

Workforce housing continues to be hot issue for Alton BY TIM CROES Staff Writer

Cocoa and Cliffhangers begins today NEW DURHAM — “Hopefully, kids won't be falling off their chairs from laughing too hard,” Children's Librarian Cathy Allyn said of New Durham Public Library's “Cocoa and Cliffhangers” program. “We'd already decided on a book to read aloud, but as soon as this one came in, I knew it was it.” The book in question, “What We Found in the Sofa and How it Saved the World,” targets third through sixth graders. It's the zany tale of three misfits who plunge into a plot

to conquer the planet and features an artificially intelligent domino, a DNA analyzing tray and hot air balloons. “Not to mention the sofa,” Allyn said, “which might possibly be a computer 'disguised as a garage sale.' The unlikely heroes don't know what to make of it and the other weird things they run up against. Honestly, how well can you trust a talking painting?” In addition to a comfortable and entertaining afternoon, Cocoa and Cliffhangers also provides food and

drink. The chapter book, along with a craft or word game, will be finished up after six weeks. It's unnecessary to attend each session, as Allyn summarizes the previously read chapters to bring everyone up to speed. The afterschool program runs from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. and begins today, Sept. 12. The Thursday sessions are free and the library asks that those planning to attend let staff know, so there are sufficient baked goods. Call 859-2201 for more information or to sign up.

Cottrell to address Alton Historical Society ALTON — The Alton Historical Society program for Tuesday, Sept. 17, will feature Bob Cottrell, Curator of the Henney History Room at the Conway Public Library and board member of the Conway Historical Society. His program, Harnessing History: On The Trail of New

Hampshire's State Dog, the Chinook, will include how dog sledding developed in New Hampshire and the role that the Chinook played. Cottrell will explain how man and his relationship with dogs won out over machines on several polar expeditions and he will cover the history of

Arthur Walden and his Chinooks, the State Dog of New Hampshire. The program will start at 7 p.m. on the lower level of the Gilman Library, the society’s museum, also located at the Gilman Library, will be open before and after the program.

ALTON — The Alton Zoning Amendment Committee held a meeting to discuss the workforce housing on Wednesday, Sept. 4. Steve Whitman of Jeffrey Taylor and Associates reviewed the housing data in Alton regarding workforce housing. Whitman reported that since 2005, 47 percent of the homes built in Alton fall under the workforce housing limit of $249,000. The town is required to have more than 50 percent of its housing stock below $249,000 to fulfill the workforce housing requirements. Whitman reported that the town is making efforts by providing the opportunity for accessory apartments in town. He reported that the town is falling short in the Rural Zone. Whitman talked about the challenges of obtaining data for rental properties. Scott Williams suggested that he contact the University of New Hampshire to get data on rental properties. Whitman reviewed questions regarding workforce housing and explained that it would be in the town’s best interest to put pressure on the developer to show the need for workforce housing in the town. Whitman explained that if the town wants to show that they meet their fair share of workforce housing

they would also have to provide data for surrounding towns in Belknap County. Whitman explained that the numbers are a moving target and it would be tough to consistently prove that the town is meeting its fair share. Chair Paul Monzione questioned putting the burden on the town to show that they are meeting the fair share requirement. Williams questioned the cost to the town to maintain the information regarding the housing stock. Whitman reviewed price limits for housing stock and rental properties, and Loring Carr questioned how the numbers were calculated. He said the data is provided by the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority. Whitman explained how other towns have addressed the issue and said that most of the towns put the burden on the developer. He said a profit restriction can be put on a development and workforce isn’t allowed on second homes. Bill Curtin questioned getting an ordinance drafted for this year, and Williams said he doesn’t want to see the town spend money. Monzione spoke in favor of putting the burden with the developer. Whitman said he could work on drafting an ordinance that would put the burden with the developer.

Carr questioned spending the time to draft the regulation and who would come and sue the town. “I don’t know if we are better off letting them sue us,” Carr said. During public input, a suggestion was made to charge applicants for time members of the committee spend addressing the developers. There was also discussion about the regulations in Wolfeboro. The connection of workforce housing to Granite State Futures and Agenda 21 was also introduced. A question was raised about the connection between workforce housing and low income housing, and Whitman said that these are separate issues. Phil Wittmann suggested that the law should be challenged and maybe Alton should be a leader in this challenge. Monzione encouraged members of the committee to look at the regulations of Wolfeboro and Amherst in regards to workforce housing. The committee will be meeting regarding this issue on Thursday, Sept. 26, at 5:45 p.m. at the Alton Town Hall. They will also meet on Thursday, Sept. 12, at 5:45 p.m. to discuss other zoning issues.

ferent aspects to cartooning,” Library Director Max Wirestone said, “that drawing well is not something anyone needs to be concerned about.

Opinion THE BAYSIDER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2013

SECTION A, PAGE 4

Where is the unity? Yesterday was one of those anniversaries that might sneak up on you, much like the events of that day snuck up on an unsuspecting populace. But it was also a day when we all take a moment to remember those that perished when terrorists flew the jets into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, the final location sparing many lives on the ground thanks to the action of many heroes on board. As each year passes, the memory of that day seems to remain clear. The images of the black smoke rising above the Manhattan skyline on our morning television news programs. The video of a jet slamming into the side of the other tower of the World Trade Center. The gaping hole in the side of the Pentagon, the symbol of our national defense. The recordings of the brave passengers who saved many more lives by overtaking the terrorists and forcing a crash in an unpopulated field in rural Pennsylvania. What was always most amazing about the days following this horrific attack was the way that the country came together. A president who admittedly was a polarizing figure was thrust into the spotlight and earned the trust of most of the nation. People from all walks of life joined together in memory of those that were lost on that Tuesday morning. There were amazing stories of bravery and strength emanating out of New York City, Washington, D.C. and other cities and towns around the country. Citizens rallied around families of first responders who went head first into the bedlam and never returned. There were many individual heroes on that day, but truly the American people as one were the true heroes. The way we responded to this attack was truly remarkable. We banded together, everyone giving up their individual banners to gather under the banner of “Americans.” We were united and we knew that against America united, nobody stood a chance. Now, as we sit here 12 years later, America is seemingly divided more than ever. Politicians on both sides of the aisle can’t reach a compromise on seemingly anything, bringing government to a grinding halt. It’s sad that it took such a life-altering and world-changing event to bring people together. It should be easier for everyone to get along. Sure, everyone has a different opinion on every issue, but just because someone’s opinion is different than yours, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It’s just different. It is true that America rallies in time of crisis. When things go really bad, people step up and save the day. Stories of good come pouring out amidst the reports of destruction and devastation. The talking heads on the television screen come together without fighting and the world seems calm. But, as has obviously become the case in the 12 years since the Sept. 11 attacks, people eventually go back to their fighting and their bickering. It’s incredibly disappointing. Of course there will always be disagreements, but events like the Sept. 11 attacks taught us that we as Americans can be united. If we did it then, why can’t we do it now?

Get the workforce housing facts To the Editor: On Sept. 4 we attended the Zoning Amendment Committee meeting at the Town Hall and the subject was workforce housing. It was a very eye-opening meeting, which provided the committee as well as the attendees a lot of food for thought. Some of the

language in the multiple handouts is very ambiguous and raised a number of unanswered questions. The Alton representatives asked some very insightful questions and had difficulty determining concrete answers to many of the points. A subsequent meeting has been scheduled

this month to further discuss the issue and to get clarification from Consultant Steve Whitman of Jeffrey H. Taylor and Associates and Alton’s Town Planner Ken McWilliams. There was a significant turnout of interested Alton residents. We urge the residents of Alton to at-

tend the follow-up meetings on workforce housing in order to have a full understanding of what will appear on the next ballot and know the long-term consequences of passing such an amendment. Don and Gail Kleeberg Aram and Lucy Sisoian Alton

Get the facts at workforce housing forums To the Editor: Following a forum on workforce housing Sept. 18 hosted by the Alton Business Association, concerned citizens will have a chance to hear another side of workforce housing on Sept. 25 with a second forum also hosted by the Alton Business Association. Both forums are open to the public and begin at 6 p.m. at the Gilman Museum in Alton. Many citizens are understandably concerned and confused by terms like “Sustainable Communities Initiatives,” “Granite State Future,” “Fair Share Hous-

ing” and others that have become buzz words for unwelcome changes in towns all across the country. Learn what these terms mean, how workforce housing ties into the plan and how the federal government, using regional planning commissions with unelected officials is reshaping our towns, undermining our property rights and redefining how New Hampshire residents will live and work. From main street to rural areas, these changes will affect everyone. Sept. 25’s forum will feature several speakers. Ken

Eyring will discuss the negative impacts of workforce housing, the programs that promote it, and the hidden costs to our communities. Mr. Eyring will explain how it is tied into other government programs that ultimately diminish property values and local control of planning and zoning. State Rep. and Alton resident Jane Cormier will discuss the Lakes Region Planning Commission. Ric Perreault, business owner and property owner in both Alton and Rochester will discuss the impact of workforce housing in Rochester. Mrs. William

French, journalist and resident of Alton and Littleton will briefly discuss workforce housing’s impact on the town of Littleton. A question and answer period will follow. Get involved, get informed, be there Sept. 25 and learn what can be done at the local level to restore and preserve our property rights under the U.S. and state Constitutions. We hope our planning and zoning board members along with our town selectmen make the effort to attend. Phil and Chris Wittmann Alton

To the Editor: Dear Senator Ayotte, and Senator Shaheen, I understand that President Obama would like to send a message loud and clear for the use of chemical weapons by Syria's Assad. I don't have the answer for their civil war, but one thing I do know is that we the people of the United States of America voted for change, not more of the same as President Bush did in Iraq. Pease listen to what most American people want, no strike. Why are

there so many other leaders of free world saying no to bombing Syria? Maybe they have learned from past wars, not to rush into them. Have we? The U.S. will be stronger and safer if we say no to more wars. No more killing. We need to end wars around the world, not inflame them. You must listen to your citizens, we want to start rebuilding our country. Save our tax money for our cities, schools, roads and bridges. We can't afford to start a

bombing over there. The United States will be hated again if we kill just one innocent person, and look like a big bully not a savior. Once you get in a fight, you just can't stop. Israel, Jordan or Turkey will get attacked because of us attacking Syria and we will get sucked in further. Is that worth the price of more and more people dying? Could it start a third world war? The world will blame the USA and burn our flags all over the Middle East.

We have a strong military to defend our country, not to attack other countries. Let’s not give Iran and Russia a reason to attack us. Peace on Earth is what our world leaders should be trying teach our children. Not war. Recent history has taught us that it's easy start a battle, but it's not easy to stop spending lots of money and losing valuable soldiers on them. Please vote no on striking Syria.

Pleasantly surprised To the Editor: It has been some time since The Baysider published my restaurant review (The Lyons' Den, Gilford, four stars), or my hospital review (Frisbie, Rochester, four stars), so it may be acceptable to come forth with another review at this time. On this occasion I would like to extol a pharmacy. But it is not accolades for what you would normally look to a "drug store" to provide (although they excel at that as well). What is unusual about this pharmacy, the Care Pharmacy, near Frisbie Hospital in Rochester, is its overwhelming selection of greeting cards. They must have almost 100 feet of rack space devoted to cards of all persuasion. In MaryBee's and my situation, our extended family includes more than a couple people of the Jew-

ish faith. Therefore, we were in the market to purchase cards observing Rosh Hashanah. The Walmart outlet near Rochester had only Bar/Bat Mitzvah cards. Similarly with the CVS pharmacy in Rochester. But Rochester's Care Pharmacy had at least two dozen Rosh Hashanah cards from which to choose. Additionally, they are so "user friendly" that they offer free "regular postage" envelopes in which to insert square cards, which normally require an extra stamp. Before leaving the subject of a preferred pharmacy, it behooves me to mention that this establishment does exceeding well in catering to the needs of seniors. Veer left inside the store until you come to the desks of the customer advisers. Tell them what you need to

make life easier (a shower seat, a "hi-tech' walking cane with a fold-out seat, for instance) and you will be guided to an assortment of hardware unusual for a drug store. In my case I was able to purchase for $12.99 a nifty utensil that facilitates putting one's socks on. It even works for both left and right socks. And either coming or going to Rochester do not fail to veer off Route 11 and treat yourself to a frozen yogurt at Zinga's. You build your own concoction and pay for it by the ounce. If your MaryBee's or my age, be sure to claim your senior discount in addition to building up your "frequent yogurt-eater" points. With that tasting tip I conclude my reviews for this issue.

Mickey Mouse politics are over BY JEFFREY KRATOVIL Vice Chairman – New Durham Board of Selectmen

Good morning New Durham residents. It’s only a $1,558.80 increase from what the fire chief position was budgeted for the previous year. Please do not be misled to believe it is an additional $28,000 per year. These imperative steps, inchoative to attracting the highest caliber candidate, were to fulfill the majority of the board’s wishes to professionalize the department, thus serving our town’s growing needs. Thank you, Mrs. Brenda Piscatello. On Aug. 29, her Baysider editorial article (letter) expressed concern with how I address our townspeople. I value criticism. I have the highest appreciation for New Durham residents’ intelligence. They are capable of grasping my elementary level vocabulary. Although you have my thanks, you place too much emphasis on my vocabulary. The best public orators, from Alexander Hamilton (who could talk extemporaneously for hours) to Daniel Webster, from John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan, even Sir Laurence Olivier to Johnny Carson, knew that the key to winning people’s hearts was to relate to them and have a smashing delivery. You’ll remind me that I’m none of those people. On the other hand, I do admire people with charisma. Your officeholder ought to sound mindful when representing their constituents, so I’m trying.

My detractors, I sense, aren’t so inflamed by my great communication as they are with the content I am communicating. They don’t want to see $175,000 unexpended revenue go back to our residents this fall as a property tax offset. Before I sign off, let’s just close with the fire chief position. This choice needs to be unanimous amongst our board of selectmen member. As a sign of solidarity and lucidity of purpose. However, the situation as I see it is being manipulated. When Selectman David Swenson came aboard, he did state for the record that he was against going to a salaried position and that the current chief needn’t leave (merely some managerial “coaching” were due). That’s the selectman you saw. However, during our non-public hiring board sessions, he was concerned. He encouraged the current fire chief to be included in with the finalist even though he hadn’t met all the criteria for the position. Without going into detail, Selectman Swenson acknowledged that our current fire chief wasn’t at the top of the leader board, so to speak. In fact, Swenson voted twice (3-0) for having the first and then the second fire chief applicant receive a conditional offer of employment. It’s misleading to the fire department, with whom believed Swenson was the wedge between Chair Jarvis, myself and the reality of the re-appointment itself. Worst of

all, I am hearing from sources that Swenson is telling people that Chair Jarvis and I are forcing the issue. Upon arrival to the board, Swenson told Fire Chief Varney that none of his department members were getting a merit raise because none of the annual evaluations were completed. Swenson took it upon himself to make that decision prior to even consulting with the board. And yet, our transfer station foreman received a raise without an evaluation on hand. Why am I taking the risk of divulging this to you? The Mickey Mouse politics are over. Selectman Swenson is not going to have Chair Jarvis and I do the leg work of finding a replacement chief just so he can sit back and shrug his shoulders. I resent being made to believe our entire board concurred that a change was necessary (just so Swenson can claim he had no part of it). There are ethics involved with town representatives and our honesty with which we broadcast our intentions. You deserve better than to have a selectman who straddles both sides of the fence. What’s the best way of getting a straight answer from a selectman? Don’t let him wait for the translation. Ask him point blank. If Swenson tells you the truth, our board may not be unanimous and then I will re-evaluate whether or not a re-appointment is the expedient thing to do.

Russian initiatives and Kerry’s comments can avoid the Syrian conflict BY MATT STANLEY New Durham

The Syrian situation has again changed, prompted by the offhanded remarks made by our US Secretary of State John Kerry in a London interview on Monday, Sept. 9, which suggested that there might be a way found to prevent US air strikes into Syria if all the reserves of WMD poison gas supplies were to be turned over to UN and international control. The facts are that this has not been the first opportunity offered to the US administration to counter the calls for unilateral military air strikes into Syria by our military hawks in congress. On Sept. 2, Russian legislators Valentina Matvienko and Sergei Naryshkin proposed to Vladimir Putin that he send a delegation of “Russian lawmakers” to the United States to discuss the situation in Syria with members of our US Congress the Interfax news agency reported last Monday. The Russian lawmakers said that maybe U.S. legislators could be persuaded to take a more "balanced stance" on the possibility of a US military intervention into Syria to avoid Russian confrontation. Putin expressed his support of this original initiative, which required formal approval by the Foreign Ministry. The question remains, why did the United States administration not ac-

knowledge this original Putin peace proposal? Was this not a negotiated pathway to resolve the conflict? The astonishing fact here is that Russian President Putin, (who is a strong ally of Syria), stated that he would not be opposed to the introduction of a UN resolution to engage the UN Security Council on Syria, “if ” there were positive proof shown to him that poison gas was in fact used by the Assad regime and that they were parties in the killing of this Syrian civilian population. Who in our own US government was preventing us from calling his bluff ? Our US Secretary of State John Kerry claimed from the beginning that he received from our US intelligence agencies, “incontrovertible proof ” that Bashar Assad’s military regime was behind the Aug. 21 poison gas WMD attacks in Damascus. A declassified French intelligence report released on Monday Sept. 2, echoed that same assertion, saying that the French had proof that military forces loyal to the Assad regime did in fact carry out these WMD gas attacks on its Syrian citizens. US polls have shown little support among Americans for an armed intervention into Syria to punish President Bashar Assad's regime for his alleged use of chemical weapons, which killed at least 1,429 people, including more than 400 chil-

dren in a suburb of the Syrian capital. The big question here was why did the United States Secretary of State and the administration slam the door on this original pathway of negotiation, which had been openly offered by Russia’s President Putin to examine the UN evidence of these Syrian Civil War atrocities. Why did we refuse to accept his offer to send a legal delegation to our US Congress to argue against the military attacks in the current absence of any Security Council resolution for war? If the evidence was as clear as it was being claimed, there should have been no fear in letting these Russian legislators come before our US Congress to argue in an equal voice against the well known lobbyists and Middle East pressure groups who are influencing our military hawks in Congress and who have been calling for unilateral US military intervention into Syria, risking another involvement and an expanded proxy war in the Middle East? Let’s not make another grave mistake in foregoing the help of the Russians in this Syrian conflict, before we decide to pull the trigger of a unilateral military intervention into Syria without even having tried the initiatives being offered to the USA, and to the world at large in this new Russian gambit.

One-room schools topic of presentation October 11 BARNSTEAD — Hundreds of one-room schools dotted the landscape of New Hampshire a century ago and were the backbone of primary

education for generations of children. Revered in literature and lore, they actually were beset with problems, some of which are little changed today. The greatest issue was financing the local school and the vast differences between taxing districts in ability to support education. Other concer ns included teacher preparation and quality, curriculum, discipline, student achievement and community involvement in

KINGSWOOD FRESHMEN relaxed and enjoyed lunch outdoors at the end of their orientation schedule on Wednesday, Aug. 28.

Kingswood High holds orientation day for 178 freshmen BY ELISSA PAQUETTE Granite State News

WOLFEBORO — The Kingswood Regional High School freshman class had the corridors to themselves on Wednesday, Aug. 28. Orientation day began with an assembly and an abbreviated schedule, enough to give students a chance to find their new classrooms, meet their teachers and learn new locker combinations. The general opinion among the students interviewed while they enjoyed an outdoor lunch featuring the grilling skills of administrators and a friendly lunch crew was that the day offered a relief to anxieties about finding their way around the building. A group of girls complimented the organization of the day and the “good communication” that put them at ease. They were happy to have upper class students, easily identifiable in their bright purple t-shirts emblazoned with Jump Start and green knight insignia, available at every turn to guide them and answer

questions. “They were really nice and helpful,” offered one of the students, holding her new agenda book. With just four minutes passing time between classes, and a distance to walk from advisory in the morning to class on another floor, the chance for a quick run through was welcome. When asked which courses they were most looking forward to, the predominant choices were hands-on options offered in addition to the traditional required courses. Nick Robischeau is looking forward to classes in architectural drafting; Eddie Wims signed up for woodworking class in one semester, technical drawing in another, and also French; Shane Turilli said he’s in woodworking, too, and is excited about the metals course. “I love cooking,” declared Dillon Rudloff, who said he’s signed up for Food and Nutrition. Office Software was on the list of another. Many students gathered in the shade of the

Rice earns honor from St. Michael’s BARNSTEAD — Melony Rice of Center Barnstead and a student at Prospect Mountain High School in Alton was named the 2013 recipient of the Saint Michael's College Book Award for Academic Achievement with a Social Conscience. The award recognizes students who demonstrate a commitment to leadership in volunteer service and academic achievement. Saint Michael's, located in Burlington, Vt., one of America's top 10 college towns, was founded on the belief that serving others is part of its Catholic tra-

dition and through the award seeks to honor those who demonstrate the true spirit of volunteerism. Award recipients, named at schools throughout the country, are high school juniors who are inductees of the National Honor Society or an equivalent school-sponsored honors organization. They must demonstrate a commitment to service activities in high school or community organizations, taking leadership roles in these activities. Rice was presented the book First They Killed My

A boy was overheard commenting to his classmates, “My science teacher is awesome.” It was a day of adjustment from summer activities to school work ahead and of figuring out how to get from one place to another, including finding the right bus to take home. Transportation Supervisor Maryann Belanger stood by as a line of yellow busses, their first year students aboard, revved their engines and turned onto South Main Street, a line heading away from town and another toward town. “It’s exciting. It’s another first day,” she said as she watched the yellow busses depart in formation. KRHS Principal Guy Donnelly, pleased that only 12 students missed the first day, said, “94 percent attendance isn’t bad for an optional day.” The mood was festive and anticipatory.

Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers (HarperCollins 2000) by Loung Ung, a 1993 Saint Michael's College graduate who has become a widely acclaimed author. In "First They Killed My Father," Ung gives a powerful autobiographical account, from a child's perspective, of surviving captivity during the genocidal Pol Pot regime in Cambodia. She reveals an indomitable spirit in the face of profound suffering, including the loss of both her parents and two of her siblings. Ung has written a riveting memoir about a family's survival, and in turn, about the development of Ung's on-going crusade for a landmine free world.

Milfoil successfully managed for another year in Alton BY BILL MANNION Alton Milfoil Committee

ALTON — The two-man crew navigates along a prearranged route spreading herbicide from a mixing tank on their Jon-boat in a battle against variable milfoil. The boat, from Aquatic Control, covers a route plotted from specific GPS points that show where the weed is tenaciously thick and spreading. The plotpoints were provided by the NH Department of Environmental Services (DES) and the Alton Milfoil Committee. Seven infected acres of Alton’s Winnipesaukee waters and the Merrymeeting River were treated with herbicide in June in an effort to control this nuisance weed, which once established is nearly impossible to remove. Preliminary results surveyed by the DES and milfoil committee members show the herbicide reduced milfoil by up to 90 percent in treated areas comprised of the town beach, Downing’s Landing, Gillan Marine, the Pavilion Condos and the water bandstand. The area treated around Parker Marine on the Merrymeeting River scored about a 70 percent reduction. The lower success rate for Parker Marine is likely due to significant dilution of the herbicide resulting from high water and increased flows following high intensity storms. The results are in accord with successful applications in previous years. In New Hampshire, where variable milfoil has no natural competitors, under optimum temperature, light and nutrient conditions, the weed can grow up to an inch per day. In abundance it forms a monoculture of growth around shallow areas, displacing native plant life, making swimming difficult and devaluing waterfront property. This year’s effort to control the invasive weed is part of an ongoing battle, starting in 2008, by the Alton Milfoil Committee with support from Alton’s residents. Voters approved the February ballot warrant article for $27,500 funding and the committee was again successful in securing matching state grants of $13,244 from the DES. Selectmen noted that voters have recognized the gravity of the fight against mil-

foil. Since treatment began and by the end of this year, total expenditures for the town of Alton will be $62,500; state of NH grants total an additional $37,644. The milfoil committee works with the DES, board of selectmen, water commission and contractors in coordinating a multipronged action plans for the town. Committee members and DES personnel survey all of Alton’s Winnipesaukee waters each spring and fall. With close support from the DES, each infested area is assessed and matched by the milfoil committee with an available control option, including herbicide treatment, diver assisted suction harvesting (DASH) and benthic barrier placement. By far, herbicide treatment is the most effective in terms of weed reduction and cost over larger areas. After years of researching 11 herbicides, the DES recommends the herbicide 2, 4-D for variable milfoil. According to research literature and experience in New Hampshire, when the herbicide is used in prescribed concentrations to target milfoil, native aquatic plants and other aquatic life are not impacted by the herbicide. The milfoil committee has discovered that DASH is also an effective follow-up treatment for stubborn residual milfoil patches post herbicide applications. Contractors are selected and matched for expertise in a particular control option by the milfoil committee. For areas with wide or thick infestations, herbicide treatment is the most effective control, according to Amy Smagula, state limnologist and coordinator for the DES exotic species program. For lighter infestations, DASH methods can be more precise in removing the weeds. This is similar to pulling a weed or two in your lawn after Roundup has been successfully used on a broader scale. After evaluating contractor bids again this year, the selectmen approved the milfoil committee’s recommendation to use two contractors, Aquatic Control Technology, LLC, headquartered in Sutton, Mass, for herbicide treatment and AB Aquatics, Inc. of Atkinson, to provide DASH services. Both vendors are ap-

THE MILFOIL battle in Alton continues for another year. proved by the state’s DES. The milfoil committee decided to divide Alton’s Winnipesaukee waters into two zones, the lake itself north of the Route 11 bridge and its Alton tributary, the Merrymeeting River, south of the Route 11 bridge. The river is heavily infested with variable milfoil and since it flows into Winnipesaukee it is a pernicious source, and a renewing source, of milfoil. Designating the river as a separate zone for treatment was necessitated for a unique situation: Since the town’s two active wells are located along the river at Levey Park and Jones Field, concern for well contamination from herbicide use necessitated a different approach to combating the milfoil infestation. In a plan worked out by the milfoil committee with the water commission, selectmen and the DES, herbicide use was restricted to the extreme lower area of river near its outlet, adjacent to and within Parker Marine. The plan called for turning off the Levey Park well as herbicide was spread downstream to avoid any possible contamination. Sensitive to concerns of possible contamination, the DASH method was used successfully last fall to clear a channel in the river from the Fish and Game Dam down to the Route 11 bridge. Since propellers, rudders and oars can stir up milfoil and aid in its spread, signs were placed

ALTON POLICE LOG ALTON — The Alton Police Department responded to 128 calls for service during the week of Sept. 1-7, including six arrests. One male subject was arrested for simple assault.

cious person/activity reports on Swan Lake Trail, Mt. Major Highway (three), Powder Mill Road and Roberts Cove Road. Police made 29 motor vehicle stops and handled six motor vehicle complaint-incidents. There were 83 other calls that consisted of the following: Four juvenile incidents, one missing/runaway juvenile, one missing adult, five alarm activations, one harassment, one

civil matter, two criminal mischief, four lost/found properties, five vehicle ID checks, 2 motor vehicle lockouts, one administrative action, two background/record checks, one fingerprinting, one public indecency, five pistol permit applications, nine animal complaints, 15 property checks, six paperwork services, four medical assists, three assist other agencies, seven general assistance and three miscellaneous.

at strategic points hopefully keeping boaters and kayakers within the channel’s milfoil free paths. Benthic barrier placements, which block sunlight from reaching the milfoil, were deployed with success, but cover a very limited river area. But the battle against milfoil is wider than just involving the milfoil committee, selectmen, and state personnel; furthermore, the town has bodies of water other than Winnipesaukee and Merrymeeting River. The committee, in concert with the NH Lakes Association, started and maintains an active Lake Host Program at two locations at the bay to educate boaters and block the introduction of weeds via boat ramp inspections. Paul Richardson, who initiated the program in Alton, points to the large number of boaters informed as to the milfoil problem and the number of weed intercepts credited to the Lake Host program. Another line of defense against new or additional infestations is the Weed Watcher program, where volunteers perform monthly checks in shallow areas of water bodies prime for growth, to see if any potentially invasive weed has arrived and rooted. There are active Weed Watcher programs at three Alton lakes: Sunset Lake, Halfmoon Lake (Alton and Barnstead) and Hills Pond. If you are looking for a local volunteer effort, Weed Watching might be for you. Volunteering involves a once a month survey of just

a section of your shoreline that you agree to monitor from May through September. Smagula provides training to lake groups wishing to start such a program. Halfmoon Lake Association in Alton and Barnstead, incorporated a Weed Watching session at its regular August Annual meeting. The milfoil committee wants to liaison with all road and lake associations concerned about milfoil on Alton’s water bodies. Guarded success is in the control of milfoil; we probably will not eradicate it. “Once in a water body, it’s virtually impossible to eradicate; it can, however, be controlled,” according to Richardson. “This is the key point. Controlling milfoil growth will be an ongoing process, just like winter snow removal.” “It can now be said that Winnipesaukee’s waters in Alton are manageable thanks to the support the town’s voters gave to us,” according to Ted Carl, chair of the milfoil committee. The lake in Alton is now un-

der control and with continued diligence Alton’s residents can be optimistic that the milfoil threat to Winnipesaukee is under control. For the remainder of the season, the milfoil committee plans the following: Winnipesaukee: Based upon maps drawn by the DES pinpointing the milfoil that survived the spring herbicide applications, they will have the DASH contractor pull remaining weeds starting in October. Merrymeeting River: Priority is to maintain the channel created last year free of milfoil to minimize boats or kayakers churning up the weed and setting it lose to spread. Contact the lesser lakes and associations concerned about milfoil to facilitate sharing of information and to maintain an upto-date status on milfoil in Alton’s water bodies. Plan and budget for the 2014 season. For further information, contact the Alton Milfoil Committee at [email protected].

Gravel pit, woodlot keep New Durham planners busy BY TIM CROES Staff Writer

NEW DURHAM — The New Durham Planning Board met on Tuesday, Sept. 3, and discussed a gravel pit, a site walk regarding the removal of woodlot status and shoreland permit during its meeting. Keith Babb came before the board for advice on his gravel pit located on Kings Highway. He explained that there is 30 to 35 yards of material left in the pit and would like to clean it up, grade the area and make the lot suitable to sell. Babb estimated that the engineering fees to be approximately $30,000 and asked if the board would consider having less detailed engineering plans. He stated that a field team could spend a couple of days on the project and get a fairly accurate plan. He was asked if he felt the area had already been reclaimed and he felt that there are still some areas that need to be cleaned up. Board members reviewed a memo from Arthur Capello, the code enforcement officer, regarding a site walk of property owned by the Pleasant Point Realty Trust. Capello recommended removing the lot from woodlot status. Member Paul Raslavicus recused himself from the case.

A motion was made to remove the lot from woodlot status with the condition that if the lot is sold, subdivided or developed, a percolation test will be required. The selectmen’s representative, David Swenson, felt the action was premature. Chair Bob Craycraft talked about a public hearing held in December 2012 regarding the removal of woodlot status for a lot. It was determined that Capello do a site walk to determine whether the lot could support a septic system. Swenson noted that this application was grandfathered but any new applications would have to have to abide by requirements. Amy Smith, the recording secretary, informed the board that Theresa Chabot is interested in serving as New Durham’s Strafford Regional Planning Commission representative. Board members asked Smith to invite Chabot to the next planning board meeting and to contact the SRPC to find out the length of their terms. Board members reviewed a New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services shoreland permit for Gullmar Nelson. Smith noted that the Conservation Commission received the notice as mail and reviewed it at its Aug. 27

meeting. Craycraft asked that the item be put on the agenda so board members could review it and see if any action was necessary. Raslavicus noted it was a contentious issue at the time and the courts were involved. Smith passed out the sketch drawn by a landscaping firm. Raslavicus suggested checking Zoning Board of Adjustment decisions regarding the property from 2011 and 2012. Smith passed out a draft of the lighting requirements document prepared by Craig Groom. The board members will review the document regarding the dark sky initiative and review in the near future. Smith noted that the regulations will be discussed at the Oct. 1 meeting. Smith reported that Elaine Planchet has started working on the site plan review regulations. The 2014 budget and the Master Plan will be discussed at the next meeting. The board approved the minutes from the Aug. 20 meeting. The next scheduled meeting of the New Durham Planning Board is on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m. at the New Durham Library.

What to do with your old 401k? The truth about keeping your old 401k with your previous employer vs. a rollover! I felt it pertinent to address this very common question. Should I leave my 401k from my previous employer with them? Or should I roll it over into a retirement vehicle of my choosing. Let’s first address what a 401k is and how it works. I think we all know that a 401k is set up by your employer, through an investment company, and the objective is for you to save and grow your nest egg for retirement. You sit down with the advisor from the investment company, (probably once a year) and you talk about your objectives, and your plans on retirement, when you would like to retire etc. After your investment objectives are determined by yourself and the investment company, you are placed into a premixed portfolio, which are classified by target date, risk exposure etc. You then begin contributing (working) and your off and running, building up this account with hard earned dollars; maybe you are fortunate enough to have a company match program. Let’s remember that a 401k is an investment, and I am sure that no reminder is needed of

what can happen to an investment when the market takes a down turn, or crashes like it did after the housing bubble. The timing couldn’t have been any worse for our baby boomers that were 5-10 years out from retiring and counting on their 401k to retire with. For the folks who decided to ride out the crash in 08’-09’ I hope you are taking advantage of the gains the market has experienced recently. For those folks that have left a job, or unfortunately have gotten laid off and decided to leave there 401k with the company, I want you to take a few things into consideration when doing so. Think about if you have questions about your 401k plan; maybe you would like to re-allocate some of your positions. It was nice when you had a HR person there to answer all of your questions about the plan. If you don’t have access to a HR person, you get something called 1-800 no service to answer all your questions. Making a withdrawal was pretty easy before with someone from HR who could guide you along through the process. Again with no HR person you are stuck with the 1-800 no service. Lastly, you are not the owner

of the plan, which means you don’t have any control if the company goes bankrupt or solvent. The perfect example of this would be a company called COLOR TILE out of Texas. Basically, the company mishandled plan assets investing the lion’s share into COLOR TILE property. When the company went bankrupt, the property wasn’t worth nearly what they owed. So until the property was sold or even worse foreclosed, the employees could not have withdraw or have access to their money. Google it and see what those poor employees had to go through. Take control of your retirement nest egg that you have worked so hard for. Don’t let a previous employer have the ability to leverage your retirement savings, and why be at risk if and when the market takes another down turn like we saw in 2008. Here at DAK Financial Group we help our clients capture all of the market up ticks, but never any of the down turns. You are the owner of a program that we design for you. You have access to your money, and when you are a client with DAK Financial Group you always have access to us the professionals.
