The decisio is the result of a thorough evirometal aalysis ad public egagemet process led by two WMNF supervisors over a seve-year period, ad comes o the heels of a Record of Decisio ad Presidetial Permit issued by the U.S. Departmet of Eergy late last year. The USFS will issue the ecessary Special Use Authorizatio to allow the project to be buried withi the WMNF. With these approvals secured, the project is well-positioed to begi costructio i mid-2018, ad to brig a additioal 1,090 MW of much-eeded clea hydroelectric power ito the regio by late "We appreciate the diliget work doe by the USFS ad WMNF staff over the years, ad are gratified that they have cocluded the beefits of Norther Pass more tha outweigh the short-term costructio impacts o the Forest," said Eversource New Hampshire Presidet Bill Quila. "Whe we proposed a udergroud cable for the WMNF portio of the route, we believed it was the best optio for the Forest ad for New Hampshire. We're pleased to see that the USFS agrees." The Forest Service otes that Norther Pass will icrease the reliability of New Eglad's power supply, by reducig reliace o imported atural gas; help to reduce greehouse gas emissios cosistet with public policy goals ad the New Hampshire Climate Actio Pla; ad, provide "meaigful beefits to air quality" i the WMNF. Highlights from the Fial ROD iclude: "Meetig log-term eergy eeds i a sustaiable, secure, ad cost effective maer for this regio of the coutry is certaily i the public's iterest." "I believe that the Project will beefit the public by providig a low-carbo, o-itermittet, ad diversified source of electricity for the people of New Hampshire ad New Eglad." "Burial of the trasmissio lie through the WMNF resolved Forest Pla cosistecy issues related to visuals ad effects o the Appalachia Natioal Sceic Trail."

4 Opiio A4 Thursday, JANUARY 18, 2018 Moitorig the future BY DEB NARO Cotributor Moitorig the Future (MTF), coducted by researchers at the Istitute for Social Research at the Uiversity of Michiga at A Arbor sice 1975, is oe of three major surveys supported by the U.S. Departmet of Health ad Huma Services that provide data o substace use amog youth. The others are the Natioal Survey o Drug Use ad Health ad the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. The survey measures how tees report their drug, alcohol, ad cigarette use ad related attitudes i 12th graders atiowide. Eighth ad 10th graders were added to the survey i Overall, 43,703 studets from 360 public ad private schools participated i this year's MTF survey. The followig relates some of the survey data results. Vapig: Nearly oe i three studets i 12th grade (27.8 percet) report past year use of a vapig device i the year prior to the survey. Whe asked what they thought was i the mist they ihaled the last time they used, 51.8 percet of 12th graders said, just flavorig, 32.8 percet said icotie, ad 11.1 percet said marijuaa or hash oil. Amog 12th graders, more tha 1 i 10 say they use icotie, ad about 1 i 20 report usig marijuaa i the device durig the past moth. We are especially cocered because the survey shows that some of the tees usig these devices are firsttime icotie users, said Nora D. Volkow, M.D., director of NIDA. Recet research suggests that some of them could move o to regular cigarette smokig, so it is critical that we itervee with evidece-based efforts to prevet youth from usig these products. Opioids: While opioid overdose rates remai high amog adults, the survey shows that tees are misusig opioid pai medicatios less frequetly tha a decade ago. I overall pai medicatio misuse, past year misuse has dropped sigificatly amog 12th graders sice its survey peak i 2004 to 4.2 percet from 9.5 percet. Iterestigly, tees also thik these drugs are ot as easy to get as they used to be. Oly 35.8 percet of 12th graders said they were easily available i the 2017 survey, compared to more tha 54 percet i O the local level, CADY collaborates with Speare Memorial Hospital, Plymouth Police Departmet, ad Bristol Police Departmet to prevet prescriptio drug diversio with our TAKE IT TO THE BOX iitiative. This ivolves 24/7 aoymous disposal of uused, uwated, or expired prescriptio medicies i permaet medicie retur boxes at both police departmets. Thousads of pouds have bee collected locally ad statewide i these locked, secure boxes alog with Rx Take Back evets sposored by the DEA. Whe we prevet illicit access we prevet Rx drug misuse ad save lives. The declie i both the misuse ad perceived availability of opioid medicatios may reflect recet public health iitiatives to discourage opioid misuse to address this crisis, added Volkow. However, with each ew class of tees eterig the challegig years of middle ad high school, we must remai vigilat i our prevetio efforts targetig youg people, the adults who urture ad ifluece them, ad the health care providers who treat them. If we ca prevet youth substace abuse, we ca prevet addictio ad save may lives.

His origial ower fell upo very hard times ad brought him to us. We placed Buddy i a woderful home but the chage of pace was difficult for him, he may have moured his previous comfy, cozy life sice adjustig to a more lively household with childre, proved to be a difficult trasitio. Buddy was retured i Jue Seve moths later, he still awaits a permaet home. Such a hadsome, sturdy, grey ad Letters to the Editor To the Editor: Last Moday, the Bristol Select Board met i the tow Library to swear i two ew police officers, discuss the proposed ew tow office ad proposed warrat articles. The Board decided they were ot goig to touch the posted ageda issue of warrat articles, as they felt it would take up too much time. I guess we will just have to pass them to kow what's i them. What was discussed was the cost of the proposed ew Bristol Tow Office. Members of the Needs Committee ad geeral cotractor were preset ad agreed that the warrat article should be pegged at $2.3 millio. This is a figure that was pulled from a coceptual drawig by the architects. This figure does ot iclude ay cotigecies requested by the cotractor. What the taxpayers should be cocered about is the lack of ay substatiatig iformatio about proper staffig levels, projectios of future staffig levels, affects future automatio of muicipal govermet operatios, projected growth or declie i populatio,ad square footage required to perform those fuctios. Wake up, Bristol taxpayers! white boy simply should ot have bee overlooked for so log. Buddy is quiet ad reserved. He prefers ot to idulge i the social scee with the other cats, ot because he is ufriedly, he is just so terriby sad. His prior home said he was a woderful sweet lap cat. Image what his perspective is ow ad his favourite toy a Sata Claus treat toy is owhwere i sight. He was ice all year, but did ot get what must have bee o his Wish List this holiday seaso, a ew lovig home! Surely Buddy has completed his stit at New Hampshire Humae Society ad surely should start the ew year off properly, with people who will love him always. Call or check Food For All scalig back to oe meal a moth To the Editor: Over the past several moths, the participatio at Food For All, the weekly commuity meal at the Booster Club i Ashlad, has declied sigificatly compared to what it had bee i previous years. I fact, for the last two weeks, there almost seemed to be more voluteers i the kitche tha there were guests i the diig room. After givig it a fair amout of cosideratio ad discussio, the staff ad voluteers have discered that perhaps our efforts are o loger meetig ay particular eed or desire i the greater commuity. As a result, we have decided to reduce the frequecy of the commuity meal to oce a moth, to be held o the first Tuesday of each moth, startig i February. Agai, the Bristol Select Board is advocatig throwig your tax moey at a perceived problem without doig their homework. By compariso, the Tow of Epsom is doig the same project, buildig a ew tow office, but they will oly be spedig $899,000 for a 4,500 square foot buildig to serve a commuity of 4,685 people, 1,600 more people tha Bristol. Did I metio that Epsom is situated o major routes North, South ad East West, you may be familiar with the Epsom Circle, a true "Hub." I'll bet they did't sped $95,000 for their plas either. Why are Bristol's taxpayers always beig raked over the coals? If you are a taxpayer i Bristol, you'd better pay attetio; the Select Board is proposig a icrease i the operatig budget of $471,000, plus aother $900,000 i warrat articles i additio to the ew Tow Office. If these items pass Tow Meetig, your tax bill will icrease by $3 per thousad. Wake up, taxpayers, before it's too late! Paul Simard Bristol CACR19 would protect the rights of people, commuities, ad atural eviromets We will cotiue to serve a meal o Tuesdays through Jauary, ad will start the oce a moth schedule o the first Tuesday of February. The decisio will be revisited i a few moths to see if participatio icreases before cosiderig discotiuig Food For All altogether. O behalf of the staff ad voluteers, I would like to express my sicere appreciatio to all those who have made this effort a success over the past 25 years. It has bee a joy to be able to meet ad serve so may people through our efforts. We look forward to seeig more guests o the first Tuesdays of the moths ahead! Elea Worrall Food For All New Hampto To the Editor: Did you kow that corporatios ejoy more rights to decide what happes i your commuity tha you who live i your commuity eve more tha your local muicipal govermets? There are two mai reasos for this. 1) State ad federal govermet agecies issue operatig permits that legalize harmful corporate projects ad activities that would otherwise be illegal. 2) Corporatios routiely use their rights of persohood to prevet commuities from usig local lawmakig to stop these projects ad activities that are ot i the best iterest of the commuity. Corporate activities such as the Norther Pass trasmissio lie, fracked-gas pipelies ad ifrastructure, ad large groudwater withdrawals are just a few examples of harmful projects that are decided without the ivolvemet of local goverig authority. State ad federal agecies such as the state Site Evaluatio Committee (SEC) ad the Federal Eergy Resource Commissio (FERC) are appoited, ot elected, for the sole purpose of issuig operatig permits to idustry, eve if this meas usig preemptio to override health-protectig, safety-protectig, ad rights-protectig local laws. Preemptio dictates that higher govermet trumps lower govermet. Whe preemptio is used to force harmful activities upo local commuities, residets are deied their ualieable right to protect the health, safety, ad welfare of the people ad atural eviromets where they live. The NH Commuity Rights Amedmet would empower people ad their local govermets with the authority to eact local laws that are free from preemptio ad corporate claimed rights whe these local laws protect the rights of people, commuities ad atural eviromets to defed their health, safety, ad welfare.

Plus, chaces to go skiig o a regular basis are always good. Ad just for good measure, last week s alpie meet at Cramore was postpoed due to rai. The weather was perfect for the first alpie meet of the seaso, which was held before Christmas at Kig Pie SPORTING CHANCE By JOSHUA SPAULDING Ski Area. It was t too cold ad the coditios were perfect. I spet the morig takig pictures of the race ad the spet the afteroo skiig with a fried before headig out to go to a hockey game that eveig. Weather also caused a problem early i the seaso whe I was scheduled to atted a Kigswood girls basketball game ad I could t make the rescheduled date, meaig the first time I saw the Kights was i the holiday touramet. The weather has t bee a huge problem otherwise, but I did have aother issue right before the holiday break that caused problems. The Wedesday before Christmas was oe of our early deadlie days, so after attedig the ski meet at Kig Pie, a hockey game i Coway RC GREENWOOD ad a hockey game i Wolfeboro, I came back to the office i Meredith to put together the North Coutry papers. It was a log ight, as I expected it to be ad I headed out for home at about 1 a.m. Shortly after I passed Skelley s Market o Route 109 i Moultoborough, my headlights picked up a pair of deer dartig across the road from the right. I slammed o the brakes ad tured to the left ad missed them but a third deer came boucig out of the woods ad right ito the frot right portio of my car. I pulled over just dow the road ad whe I got out of the car, I watched the deer ru off ito the woods ad wet aroud to check the frot of my car. The headlight was still workig but the casig was cracked, the bumper was cracked ad it was obvious there was more damage that I could t see i the dark. However, the car was still driveable, so I wet home ad wet to bed. After lookig i the morig, I oticed a big Joshua Spauldig ca be reached at , ext. 155 or josh@salmopress.ews.
