Bridgewater s property tax rate had ot yet bee set by the New Hampshire Departmet of Reveue Admiistratio as of the first of the week. The school district has a tax cap that limits the icrease i the tax assessmet to two percet, but voters at the 2017 School District Meetig overrode the cap, addig $800,000 to the budget BY GARRY RAYNO IDepthNH.org CONCORD New Hampto officials said Tuesday that more tax reveue from the Norther Pass project would ot chage their oppositio to the high-voltage trasmissio lie. The character of our commuity is ot for sale, said New Hampto Selectma Neil Irvie, i testimoy before the Site Evaluatio Committee. Regardless of the dollar amout of the beefit, the visual scar to our commuity is ot worth it. The egative impact to property values with views would offset additioal reveue from the project, he maitais. New Hampto has properties that are assessed a view factor (view tax) i determiig their property assessmet, Irvie said. If their viewshed is affected, I aticipate they will wat to have the view factor removed from their assessmet, he said. A certai amout of taxable value could be reduced. Irvie estimated the reductio would be from 10 to 50 percet, depedig o the site. The expert hired by project developer Eversource foud there would be little to o impact o property values, with the greatest impact o properties bisected by the utility right-ofway ad dimiishig the greater the distace from the trasmissio lie.

The assessmet formula has differet outcomes for the idividual tows makig up the cooperative school district because it takes ito accout the average daily attedace ad trasportatio costs for each commuity. As a result, Alexadria s local educatio tax rate fell from $11.71 per $1,000 of assessed valuatio last year to $9.77 this year. Alexadria s total 2017 tax rate is $22.13 per $1,000, a icrease of $1.13, or 5.4 percet, from the 2016 rate of $21, despite a percet icrease i the tow s et assessed valuatio.

Irvie said a master pla reflects the social ad ecoomic values of a commuity. He said while the master pla does ot specifically metio high-voltage trasmissio lies, that is ot a edorsemet of that type of developmet. Norther Pass cosultat ad former Departmet of Evirometal Services Commissioer Robert Varey testified earlier that the project did ot violate the tow s master pla because high-voltage trasmissio lies are ot metioed. The utility project evaluatio process allows the Site Evaluatio Committee to determie if the project is i the public s iterest bypassig the eed for local approval.

Nothig is set i stoe; everythig is very fluid with the way it s preseted for approval, he said. We re asked to eter a agreemet whe we do t kow specifics, ad that makes us ueasy. Whitley oted Norther Pass testified it seeks memoradum of agreemets with tows to resolve commuity cocers ad asked if the tow had discussios with the compay. Irvie said they had a meetig i May but agai the tow was cocered about the lack of specifics. Let s go back to road coditios.

4 Opiio A4 Thursday, DECEMBER 7, 2017 To use pot or ot BY CORRINA KINDER Plymouth State Uiversity As a college studet majorig i childhood studies, I must state my cocer about the legalizatio of marijuaa i New Hampshire. The use of marijuaa is cofusig ad hard to uderstad for youth. Our youth are receivig mixed messages about marijuaa, so they do t kow what to believe. Is marijuaa safe to use or ot? I uderstad there is a argumet for both sides, but I wat to focus o how the use of marijuaa is affectig idividuals. Marijuaa is ot the most harmful drug that is beig used today, but it does cause addictio ad is a gateway drug to powerful opioids. Here are the facts: The exposure to THC that is i marijuaa chages how the brai respods to other drugs, therefore, it ehaces respose to other addictive substaces (CDC). Youth eed to uderstad the harms of marijuaa ad how it ca hurt their bodies ad brais. Startig the use of marijuaa before the age of 18 makes it three times more likely to be at risk for opioid addictio (CDC). May tees believe they are safe whe they use marijuaa recreatioally, they also believe marijuaa wo t egatively affect them, which is ot true. Marijuaa is harmig idividuals physically ad metally, short-term ad logterm. Some physical effects cited from the Natioal Istitute o Drug Abuse (NIDA), are respiratory problems which ca cause lug cacer, icreased heart rate leadig to a higher chace of heart attack, ad problems with child developmet durig ad after pregacy. Metal effects that are also short-term iclude, temporary halluciatios, paraoia, ad exacerbated symptoms i idividuals with schizophreia, altered seses, difficulty with thikig ad problem-solvig (NIDA). Marijuaa use ca also cause depressio, axiety, ad suicidal thoughts. Some logterm effects ca also iclude chages to brai developmet: marijuaa ca impair thikig, memory, ad learig fuctios ad the buildig of brai coectios (Ceter O Addictio ad Substace Abuse). There is much higher THC potecy i marijuaa today tha there was back i the 1960 s ad 1970 s (SAM). Higher levels of THC lead to a greater risk of addictio. With regular use, may users will ot be able to go a day without the use of marijuaa--addictio ca happe so uexpectedly. There has also bee a icrease i traffic fatalities i states that have legalized marijuaa where the driver tested positive for marijuaa. Accordig to research by Smart Approaches to Marijuaa (SAM), i oe out of every five traffic fatalities i Colorado, the driver had bee usig marijuaa. There has bee a icrease of drivig uder the ifluece of marijuaa of 14 percet sice 2009 (SAM). These health ad safety risks associated with marijuaa use are importat for youg people to uderstad. The egative ad harmful effects of marijuaa are detrimetal to our youth ad ca be preveted. I urge parets to be iformed o the facts ad to speak with their childre to prevet the harms that ca result from use.

But, most importatly, Stuart cotiues to record ad release keely relevat music that hoor coutry s rich legacy while advacig it ito the future. Way Out West, his 18th studio album, hits both of those marks. Produced by Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty ad the Heartbreakers), the album is a ciematic tour de force, a exhilaratig musical jourey through the Califoria desert that solidifies Stuart as a truly visioary artist. But Stuart also made Way Out West for those who come after. As he sees it, there is o greater resposibility i music tha to share what you ve leared. Lester Flatt saw somethig i me ad gave me his wisdom, wit ad music. Johy Cash was my best fried. But all of that does t come for free. The job is to pass it alog, says Stuart, stretchig out his arms.

I the first istace, Lewis posted a Facebook warig about hypodermic eedles havig bee foud i a sowbak ad urgig people to avoid touchig ay eedles they fid because they may be cotamiated. The selectme became cocered about the tow s reputatio after ews media picked up the story of drug use i Bristol. After iitially chastisig the chief for givig Bristol a bad reputatio, Alpers later apologized, sayig he came to recogize that it was i the public iterest to make people aware of the dager. Alpers later complaied to Lewis that Bristol had ot bee represeted at a high-profile regioal drug forum. Lewis respoded that he would pass o the Daish i order to have boots o the groud i support his officers o the street. Praised by supporters for workig log hours ad voluteerig to help reovate the police space i the Bristol Muicipal Buildig, Lewis has also bee characterized by at least oe officer who formerly served uder his commad as hot tempered ad difficult to work for.

With someoe with a heart attack or a child with a seizure, a quick respose at a hospital is required, he said. My extreme cocer is road closures, Mc- Lare said. Bruce Aher of Plymouth ows lad o both sides of Route 3 where the udergroud sectio will be buried, He told a similar story about the small right-of-way. He oted part of his bar is actually i the right-of-way but is gradfathered. Aher also told the committee that recet requests to the Departmet of Trasportatio have icorrect iformatio about the width of the Joatha Fracis stated, It was ot uusual for Chief Lewis to voice his criticisms of officers i the Departmet, establishig a ucomfortable settig. Because of the admiistrative toe set by Chief Lewis ad the resultig uprofessioal ad dagerous practices i the Departmet, may officers have quit their jobs with Bristol; eve some who had bee employed by Bristol for may years. Fracis, who ow works for the Frakli Police Departmet, also claimed that Lewis had placed false iformatio i his persoel file i order to prevet him from gettig the job i Frakli. While the curret ivestigatio reportedly ivolves questioig the 11 officers who have left the Bristol Police Departmet over the past three years, Bristol has see a rapid turover i other right-of-way ad do ot show two houses i a costructio zoe for a horizotal directioal drillig plaed for the project.

The secrecy surroudig Lewis departure recalls the similar air of mystery that accompaied the departure of former Fire Chief Steve Yauzzi last year. Yauzzi had bee o paid admiistrative leave for early four moths before the tow reached a cofidetial settlemet that eded with Yauzzi s resigatio. I additio to Yauzzi, the tow has lost Norma Skatze, the fire chief who preceded Yauzzi, as well as six fiace officers ad several other staffers. The previous tow admiistrator resiged, as did Lewis predecessor as police chief, Joh Clark. Residets have bee icreasigly critical of the Bristol selectme for withholdig iformatio about the persoel they have placed o paid leave or dismissed.

Are you oe of them? If so, you ll eed to pla ahead because a successful early retiremet ca t be achieved through last-miute moves. So, if you re determied to retire early, cosider takig the followig steps: Pick a date. Early retiremet meas differet thigs to differet people. But it s importat to pick a exact age, whether it is 60, 62, 64, or whatever, so you ca build a appropriate retiremet icome strategy. Thik about your retiremet lifestyle. You may kow that you wat to retire early but have you thought about what you wat to do with your ewfoud time? Will you simply stay close to home ad pursue your hobbies? Do you dream of spedig two moths each witer o a tropical islad? Or are you thikig of opeig your ow small busiess or doig some cosultig? Differet retiremet lifestyles ca have vastly differet price tags. Oce you ve evisioed your future, you ca develop a savig ad ivestmet pla to help you get there. Boost cotributios to your retiremet plas. If you wat to retire early, you may well eed to accelerate your cotributios to your retiremet accouts, such as your IRA ad your 401(k) or other employer-sposored pla. You may eed to cut back i other areas of your life to maximize the amouts you put ito your retiremet plas, but this sacrifice may be worth it to you. privacy rights of employees ad former employees, ad as a result the Select Board will ot be commetig further. Taxpayers frustrated at beig kept i the dark are begiig to press the issue, however. Residet Paul Simard filed a Right-To-Kow request for iformatio about Lewis earigs ad the turover i the police departmet. Tow Admiistrator Nik Coates reported that Lewis had eared $58, i regular pay, $8, i overtime pay, ad $1,280 from special-duty assigmets this year, as of Sept. 18. The documet also idetified six police officers who resiged i 2016 ad Meawhile, the tow is advertisig for a ew police chief that more closely coforms to the selectme s ideal officer.

The job listig seeks a police chief who serves as a voice of calm ad reaso that is ope-mided ad ca methodically ear the trust ad respect of the staff, ad serve as a role model to seior staff members. Other traits iclude beig a good listeer to commuity cocers about the issues it faces, ad beig a ope-mided, creative ad collaborative problem-solver willig to leverage parterships with outside agecies ad dedicated commuity voluteers. The ew chief also must provide more trasparecy ito how the departmet operates through icreased press ad public availability, providig data o daily activities, ad beig more ope ad ivitig as a muicipal departmet. so by cotactig Fire Chief Ford at 18 Commerce St., Hill, N.H , by at deputyford@hotmail.com, or by telephoe at Cotributios of ay size are all greatly appreciated. Ivest for growth. Your ivestmet strategy essetially should be based o three key factors: your goals, risk tolerace ad time horizo. Whe you chage ay oe of these variables, it will affect the others. So, if you shorte your time horizo by retirig early, you may well eed to recosider your risk tolerace. Specifically, you may eed to accept a somewhat higher level of ivestmet risk so you ca ivest for greater growth potetial. Keep a lid o your debt load. It s easier said tha doe, but try to maage your debt load as tightly as possible. The lower your mothly debt paymets, the more you ca cotribute to your retiremet plas. Life is upredictable. Eve if you take all the steps described above, you may still fall short of your goal of retirig early. While this may be somewhat disappoitig, you might fid that addig just a few more years of work ca be beeficial to buildig resources for your chose retiremet lifestyle. For oe thig, you ca cotiue cotributig to your IRA ad your 401(k) or similar employer-sposored pla. Plus, if you re still workig, you may be able to afford delayig your Social Security paymets util you re closer to your ormal retiremet age, which, as defied by the Social Security Admiistratio, likely will be 66 or 67. The loger you put off takig these beefits, the bigger your mothly checks, although they will max out oce you reach 70. Ad eve if you are ot able to retire early, some of the moves you took to reach that goal such as cotributig as much as you could afford to your IRA ad 401(k), cotrollig your debts, ad so o may pay off for you durig your retiremet wheever it begis.

The team will be returig a pair of juiors as well i Emily Boyd Kuehl chips i agai as UNH gets aother wi BY ALLEN LESSELS Cotributig Writer CONWAY, Ark. They took the starch right out of the The Stripes. The defese was immese. The offese led i the secod half by a redshirt freshma quarterback who had completed three passes i his career came up huge as well. Put it all together ad the No. 21 Uiversity of New Hampshire football kocked off No. 3 Cetral Arkasas, 21-15, Saturday afteroo i Estes Stadium where the field color alterates every five yards from purple to gray, thus earig the ickame The Stripes. The Wildcats set out to make aother statemet yes, they belog i this NCAA Divisio I FCS touramet - ad ow are o to the quarterfials. They play at South Dakota State, the No. 5 seed i the touramet, ext weeked, perhaps o Friday ight. Terrific effort by my guys, said UNH head coach Sea McDoell. They just played their tails off. Comig ito this situatio, playig the No. 4 seed, No. 3 seed whatever it was i the coutry, a lot of people did t thik we beloged... We told the kids let s go play. That s where thigs get doe, o the field. There was gripig from some i the FCS world whe the draw was aouced that UNH did t deserve a spot i the 24-team field with its 7-4 overall record. The Wildcats beat Cetral Coecticut State, 14-0, i their firstroud game last week ad the wet o the road ad picked up aother wi Saturday. UNH advaces to the quarters with a 9-4 record. Cetral Arkasas had its 10-game wi streak sapped ad fiished the seaso Juior Trevor Kight completed a 10-yard touchdow pass to sophomore Eva Gray to match a Cetral Arkasas score i the first period. Whe Kight got kocked out of the game with a ijury late i the secod period, the redshirt freshma, Christia Lupoli, came i ad played a tremedous game the rest of the way. His beauty of a ieyard touchdow pass to sophomore Malik Love it was a great all-out dive of a catch as well gave the Wildcats a cushio they badly eeded i the middle of the fourth quarter. It put them up 21-9 with 7:19 to play. Lupoli completed eight of his 10 passes for 63 yards ad the score. He had completed three of 14 passes comig ito the game. Ad that defese. Not oly did it for the most part shut dow a prolific Bear offese, it cotributed a touchdow as well. Redshirt freshma safety Eva Hor scored it whe he picked off a Hayde Hildebrad pass, got to the left sidelie ad raced 56 yards for a score, the oly poits i the secod period. That helped his team to a 14-7 edge at the half. The Bears did maage to gai yards o the Wildcats. But how about these umbers? Cetral Arkasas averaged 37 poits a game comig i. The Bears had tured the ball over 10 times i their 11 regular seaso games. The Wildcats forced four turovers o Saturday. Besides Hor, redshirt freshma Steve Harper had a iterceptio ad redshirt freshma Alozo Addae ad juior liebacker Jared Kuehl of Plymouth had fumble recoveries. Here s aother subject seior defesive tackle Rick Holt liked: sacks. Comig i, the Bear offesive lie had protected their quarterback extremely well. They gave up six sacks all year, Holt said. That s icredible almost. A lot of stuff ca go wrog. Oe perso messes up ad you have a sack. Six. That s a half a sack a game. That s kid of crazy. The Wildcats sacked Hildebrad five times. Holt was credited with a career-high two ad a half sacks. He had ever before had more tha oe sack i a game. Juior defesive ed Jae Wua Horto had a couple of sacks ad also deflected the pass that Harper itercepted. Juior defesive tackle Rya Sosak had half a sack ad seve tackles. We game-plaed really well ad we ra some good stuff, Holt said. Jae Wua did a really good job. Bria (Carter) did a really good job. Me ad Rya just keep workig ad keep workig... Our job was to make him as ucomfortable as possible back there ad I thik we did a really good job of doig that today. They certaily did. Now it s o to South Dakota ad a chace for the program to play for the first time i aother state, as it did i Arkasas, ad do a little more provig. Ad what, from the defese to the offese to players steppig up ad fillig i for others, made McDoell most proud o Saturday? How hard we played, McDoell said. It s what we do. I ca t tell you how proud I am of our kids ad our program. Wherever we ve goe, we ve just buckled up ad goe ad played. Do t talk much about it. We ve doe it. I asked the kids to do that ad they did. As a coach, you ca t ask for aythig more. ad Hailey Rousseau. Brule said that she expects the Bobcats to feed off of Boyd s defesive itesity ad ability, while Rousseau will be couted o to have solid games i the pait for the Bobcats. The other three returig players are sophomores, who saw varied time as freshme last year. Amada Daugherty saw the most time i her freshma year, while Appal Kuz ad Jea Flaherty will also be returig to the varsity roster ad will be lookig to step up their games as sophomores. The team welcomes four ewcomers to the varsity team, led by juior Olivia Littlefield, who has spet the last two years developig her skills at the JV level, oe of those years uder Brule s tutelage whe she was the JV coach.

As I ve oted before, Thaksgivig is the oe time of year where I take a umber of days off i a row ad this year was o differet, as I joureyed to upstate New York with my mother ad her boyfried, Michael, to visit family. We left for New York the day before Thaksgivig ad arrived shortly after 8 p.m. This year s Thaksgivig was a bit differet tha i other years. Because a couple of family members had commitmets o Thursday, our usual Thaksgivig dier was moved from Thursday to Friday. However, my cousi Rya s wife, Carrie ad her family had a Thaksgivig dier at their camp o Sacadaga Lake, so we spet Thursday eveig with some good food ad good compay. Our ormal Thaksgivig dier was held o Friday afteroo at what used to be my gradparets home, ow home to my cousi Justi ad his girlfried Sady. Justi cooked a couple of delicious turkeys ad the rest of the food was just as delicious ad for the secod day i a row, I ate way too much ad completely put my diet out of commissio. After aother delicious dier o Saturday, we headed home o Suday morig ad I was back i the office by about 5:30 p.m. ad back at my secod job a little after 9 p.m. After a full week of work, I headed back orth to Stark o Saturday morig to start the aual Christmas decoratig. I got home just after 8 a.m. ad Michael ad I wet to work o the wreaths ad after they were all up, we worked o the trees. I had put up five trees the day before Thaksgivig ad oe stays up all year, so there were oly ie left to put up ad we got through them before luch. We the put all the lights o ad the I put up all the cadles before dier, makig for a pretty full day of work. JOSHUA SPAULDING THE HOUSE i Stark is all decorated for the holidays, as is the covered bridge. That left Suday to do the majority of the iside decoratig, which is pretty simple compared to the costat up ad dow of doig the outside decoratios. Ad I was able to head back to work i decet time to get thigs doe before headig to job umber two o Suday ight. All told, we decorated 14 Christmas trees with lights ad put up more tha 50 wreaths o the house ad aother 10 or so o the picket fece. All i all, it was a solid day s work o Saturday. Ad the house is ow ready for the Christmas seaso, except for the iside Christmas tree, which my mother ad Michael will purchase sometime before Christmas. It s the oly real tree of the etire buch, with the rest of the trees of the fake variety. Ad i aother moth, it will be time to head back orth ad take all the lights dow.
