Parents: We want to stay with Timberlane

 Sandown residents tell minority committee they oppose leaving distrct

By Kiera Blessing 
 
SANDOWN — During a tense and often-heated meeting of the Sandown withdrawal minority committee Wednesday night, dozens of parents and town residents said they strongly oppose withdrawing from the Timberlane Regional School District and felt lied to about the nature of the study being conducted.

Nearly 40 people filled the small meeting room at the Sandown Fire Department where the Sandown Feasibility of Withdrawal from Timberlane Regional School District Minority Committee met. Most of the attendees who spoke said they were against withdrawal; no one advocated for withdrawal at the meeting.

Many of those present said they felt they had been deceived about the nature of the study, and had believed, when voting at Town Meeting in March, that the study would only gather data. Both committees — the "majority" committee, working in conjunction with Timberlane, and the minority committee — plan to submit their findings to the state's Board of Education, which has some parents worried that they could be forced out of Timberlane.  

State law says that if the Board of Education approves a withdrawal plan in either the majority or minority report, the plan will then go to a vote of the four towns in the district. Parents at the meeting expressed concerns that Atkinson, Plaistow and Danville would vote in favor of Sandown's withdrawal, effectively forcing the small town out of the district.  

Cathy Gorman, the vice chair of the minority committee, said the district would first have to "prove" that it is financially feasible and otherwise suitable for Sandown to withdrawal before the Board of Education would approve a withdrawal plan.  

"Timberlane and the majority committee cannot just boot you out of the district," Gorman said.   

The residents were not so easily assured.  

"There is nothing you can show me or tell me that is going to change my mind. I don't want to withdraw, period, end of story," said Jon Goodman, a Sandown parent. "Don't say we can't get kicked out. You ... told us at deliberative session this was a study and nothing more."  

Some residents at the meeting initially advocated for the minority committee to be disbanded completely; the committee countered that dissolving the minority committee would leave all power with the majority committee and their ruling as to the feasibility and suitability of the withdrawal.


"I want to ensure that regardless of what the majority committee does, that we are prepared to protect Sandown. That is my goal for the minority report," Gorman said. "I will have a report ready to ensure that Sandown is well-represented when a report goes to the Board of Education."


Gorman and the rest of the committee assured parents and community members at the meeting that a consideration of the suitability of the withdrawal is how parents and students feel about it. Even if withdrawal is financially feasible, they said, the Board of Education will consider the suitability of the plan — in other words, if it will be beneficial to parents, students, and the community.

"The kids are important, where they want to go. The community as a whole is important, the impact to the community. We're looking at all of that," Gorman said.

Buco added that she established the minority committee because she felt Sandown did not have enough representation on the majority committee, and said the majority committee refused her request to add members from Sandown. The law does not address formation of a minority committee, but rather says only that the town that voted for the study can submit a minority report if the committee finds the withdrawal is not feasible or suitable.  

Rob Collins, chairman of the Sandown Feasibility of Withdrawal Committee, said Thursday that if the minority committee is not disbanded, it "would force our hand to submit a report with a withdrawal plan."  

Collins said this is because the committees have vastly different opinions of what the buyout would be. While the majority committee estimates it would cost Sandown at least $6.4 million to withdrawal, the minority committee said that does not take into account Sandown's partial ownership of the other Timberlane school buildings. The minority committee estimates that Timberlane may even owe the town money.  

"To not have great detail in that amount of money from our end and to allow them to write a report and withdrawal plan that said zero dollars would be a disservice to the towns of Atkinson, Plaistow and Danville," Collins said. "We would find ourselves in a position where we're having to defend not only the interest of the students, but the financial interest of the town as defined by state law."  

Still, Collins said that does not mean the majority committee will necessarily find the withdrawal feasible or suitable; he said he would simply write a plan so that the Board of Education would see there is a dispute between the committees about the buyout. He said that he is not sure what the committee will eventually conclude.

The state law says a withdrawal plan is only to be submitted if the committee finds the withdrawal is feasible and suitable.   

The minority committee and concerned Sandown residents discussed Wednesday the possibility of holding a special vote before the report must be submitted on Nov. 15 to determine what the majority of the town is in favor of, whether it be to withdrawal or to stay in Timberlane. The results of that vote would heavily influence the suitability portion of the minority report.

It seems to me that a special vote of all the towns taxpaying citizens would be the answer to this problem. It would be a result of a majority of the votes cast as it would be in any election to come to a final decision of staying or leaving the district. My opinion is that there is some kind of back room dealing to leave the district that would be costly to all the towns involved. Can the town afford the costs of leaving and at what the costs will be is the question to really consider in the education process of our young people that will be our leaders in the future?

Anonymous said...

It's blatantly obvious that the education need is high. Not that the hearts are in the wrong place.

I'm glad at least you agree with me about the need for good high education . The hearts of some are in the wrong place when it comes to their self only greed at the cost of educating our young people that will be running our country in the future. Would you agree we need an election to decide? If not an election, a well made attempt at voter turn out at an agreeable meeting place that would determine a majority vote to decide the issue one way or the other.

An vote is required.

Instead of being critical of the grammar why aren't you answering the question of how to decide the final determination of leaving or staying in the district?

Sandown's going nowhere, never was, never really wanted to, and never will.
Any one with half a noggin knows that.... This was a frustration vote against their ever
growing tax rates and a Rep who has stirred the pot of Earls schoolboard....
Frustrated town folks that look at their rep as the only one that cares about
Their wallet and see the crappy way she's treated by her fellow board members...

But they are going nowhere...... The lawyers are the only ones smiling....

Metezlers are great when new but loose traction fast when things get a little slippery...

The process for "leaving or staying" is defined above.

How fortunate the people of Sandown are to have such an attentive, intelligent, articulate individual representing them. Such people who seek truth and accountability can only bring good to the people.
The district will vote too but it's the TAXPAYERS of Sandown who will decide whether to stay or leave Timberlane, as it should be.

Mark Acciard said...

To be HONEST, EVERYONE in ALL FOUR TOWNS in the TRSD should be up in arms.

You have a budget committee that largely has no idea what their job is or how to do it. The ones who do are shut down as troublemakers.

Metzler and Stokinger are allowed to write the budget that they then spend. There is no check nor balance. There is no due diligence. There is no budget preparation by the budget committee.

The District does, and always has wasted money. The curriculum is weak. Accountability is non existent.

Fads such as whole language, new math, new new math, and the wonderful cessation of midterms and final exams, were notable debacles.

Yet whenever anyone tries to bring these problems up they are attacked by the Ed. establishment, including the PTSA, as "attacking the teachers", or "destroying the schools", or some other emotional heartstring LIE!

Anonymous said...

Its to bad we don't have people like Mark who really cares and speaks out on how things are run in the district and else where. He is right about the way the district budget is used and dealt with with our tax money.Time for us all to revolt and rid ourselves of the current school administration that are the problem. They work for us not themselves as they do now.

Anonymous said...

At least they do some thing where I see you do nothing but complain about them for having done so. Where do you get off speaking for the many people who are upset with this fiasco we call a district/ What do you really want to suggest we do to stop the tax rate from going up when it comes to education of our young people? We have a good district when it comes to having our present schools. I can not say that we have the very best in the state when it comes to teachers . You forget the qualified and best teachers are already in the present system and are ready to retire soon and those aren't going to go to a new school system out of the district when they have invested rights for retirement. That only leaves the newly teacher graduates and they need lots of time to prove themselves as being good enough to compare with the teachers of good and outstanding capabilities we have now. Are you going to say that isn't true or are you that stupid not to see what I've said is a true reality? You don't have to answer my question[s] as you wouldn't any way because of your real hidden agenda of protecting yourself from exposure of who you truly are . You think like a person living on MEDICATION LANE -- selfish to say the least.

Anonymous said...

Get your butt off your chair and devote your time to doing what should be done by going around spreading the word that you want to see the changes needed to make a final decision on our future educational needs. I want the schools and towns involved to stay as they are now except for some of them who are running the district. What about you ,do you agree with me or not ? 9/15@4:00PM makes sense and that person is right about the screwballs in our town[s] that should shut up and think about the tax rates going sky high because of the few that want to start building and hiring teachers that are not proven in their abilities to teach as yet.

Mark Acciard said...

To Anon at 3:33, if you can REFUTE ANYTHING I have said I shall gladly hear it, but having close observation of their budget process for over a decade, I can tell you that EVERYTHING I said is absolutely true.

For verification look up my questions at the SB Deliberative session about 5 years ago to Then BudCom head Michelle O'Neill.

She explained the process I have laid out above.

Here is a man who suffered the damage from you know who and his hench men. Mark at least can hold his high no matter what is said of him and write what he posts here where you wont. I wont reveal myself out of fear of what happened to him would ,not could, happen to me. The time has come to throw out the truest of all the unworthy now in power of the town and its appointed educational twits .

Yes it is me 3:02 again and I'm not Mark or Donna Green. I rather doubt they are up at this hour to post this early. If your so against them both why in hell don't you run for the very offices you complain about and do a better job? As for Mark I give him more credit for what he has done where you haven't the guts to do the same as he has. I haven't seen you help either one of them in all they tried to do up to now. All you do is throw more gas on the fires of the town and district problems instead of trying to quell them. Its easy for you to hide and be critical of those wanting to do right and keep the "standards" of the town and school district your way with no thought about the out come results of bad decisions. If you can afford to bleed the towns people with higher taxes then why dont move away to some other community where you'll be more content with the doing just that? If you have so much dislike for those who you are critical of then do what you should and move and then see a doctor for what really is ailing you. That being your mental problems over and above your every day ailments. Who knows maybe they are related to one another causing your hateful and mean attitudes toward others.

10:21, Please be sure you took your meds this morning. Your not making any rational sense with your comments. Are you saying the "burdens" are the taxpayers current in paying them or those behind in them? Are you also saying the children attending school[s] are the "burdens" when in fact you went to school or are you that stupid by not having to have gone to school at all? Why not trying to contribute to help with a decision to be made about the towns taxes and education. OH!! have you read todays Eagle Tribune about Sandown in regard to staying or leaving the Timberlane school district. I give you my permission to have some one else read it to you in case your unable to due to your lack of schooling.-- Now will you stop throwing gasoline on the tax and education problems we have or do you need a stay in the Hampstead Hospital for the mental ill as you appear to be. JMHO is all








"burden" Just to let you know because I do not think you do everyone that pays taxes to the town ,state, and federal governments pay for the education of our youngsters even if they have no children in the school system[s]. The state and federal governments do contribute to the schools and towns with awards,grants, etc.

"Burdens" = Complaining whiners, those who live beyond there means and YOU.

You call them free loaders and your wrong. If they leave then we have to cough up money for their having invested in the present school district buildings . Where in Gods name do you get off saying I am a whiner living beyond my means when I cant afford for them or any other town leaving the district? Apparently you misunderstood what I and others have posted about this subject or your just trying to stir the pot until it burns the contents to a crisp when it comes to education within the district. Its obvious that you really haven't read what was posted by the many who have posted prior to your 2:04 posting. Why is it you want to pay more taxes to have and keep Sandown out of the district? You must be the person who should be in the Hampstead Hospital for evaluation of your mental state and problem of wanting to pay more taxes. Could it be you are one of the superintendent cronies with a hidden agenda.What have you been promised in return for your crazy postings is what I'd like to know? The shame is on you and not us who want to keep taxes low by not wanting or allowing Sandown to leave the district. A vote process by all involved towns will show that there is no reason for Sandown to leave and cost us and Sandown more tax money to let Sandown leave. Sandown can not afford to build and staff any school any more than I can afford a higher rate of taxation. JMHO is all and I'm pretty sure I have a lot of tax payers agreeing with me.

Could it be cheaper to have Sandown leave? I doubt it and until some person can tell me different I'll remain with my doubts. Leaving will cost them a fortune to build new schools and employing teachers. Yes, they may recover some money for having -"invested educationally"- in the district if they were to leave and cost the other towns by having done so in leaving. Ms. Green may have been painful thus far with her end results of her representing the district and the town she comes from but I see that no one wanted to run against her . The complaints about her have been on going for quite awhile and still the "whiners" as they are called haven't run for the job. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU!! The above post says it all about the town of Sandown lacking in a better tax base to support its needs and not just in education alone. Did the people of Sandown figure that suburban living w/o any stable business's to help with the tax base would be ok? I doubt it.Its obvious that, on the surface or not, they appear to be relying on the other town district members to pay their fair share in education whether they leave or not. I'm not a fan of Ms. Green but I feel it is time to clean house at the district head quarters and replace those swept out with better people to run things. Why bitch about things if we are not going to do some thing about the problem we are now facing. We do get what we deserve do we not? jmho

Has any one given any real thought,if any, about the cost of rising taxes for all the towns in the district if Sandown gets its withdrawal from the district school system? Selfish thinking is what is going to increase the tax rates in all the towns in the district. What about thinking of the districts elderly who no longer have children in the school district and what they are able to afford to pay in taxes. -- To the nuts who use this site with their stupid remarks about subjects and people using the site.

Why don't you just wait patiently for the results of the committee as voted by all. Sandown voters will have their vote once the numbers are known. There's a process in place here. Didn't you read it? We don't yet know the financial impact and the parents aren't the only ones who get a say.

Mark Acciard said...

To the person at 12:30pm? It is nice to see that you do not care about your selectman's corruption. So let's see, I filed a conflict of interest complaint because he voted, as selectman to approve his own request as police chief to withdraw $2500 from the donation account. Should be a no brainer, until the chairman of the conflict of interest committee says to me, "but it is the chief". The Court had some nasty words for him.

He violated that Court Order and was found in contempt of Court. HE appealed that Order to the Supreme Court only to be told to go away.

PHIL CONSENTINO caused those legal expenses. NOONE else. In the process of this he filed a frivolous lawsuit against me for slander. Which he withdrew two weeks before trial. MORE EXPENSES. Phil also tried, using his authority as police chief to destroy my business. He followed my wife and son through town, and this incident ended with my house and car getting vandalized.

The Grants filed suit based upon his actions LOST AGAIN, cost them $30,000 PLUS legal expenses.

Polito violated the law while serving as moderator, and ANOTHER lawsuit followed.

Consentino sexually harrassed the dispatcher only to be fired over that, More investigations and legal expenses, not to mention settlements.

This ONE MAN has caused close to ONE MILLION DOLLARS in legal expenses and settlements during his reign.

And YOU blame the victims.

Sorry 7:50am, I did not "loose" in Courtrooms. I won 4 times against Phil, because what he did violated law. And I had nothing to do with the Sandown issue, so perhaps you should educate yourself upon the details before you post.

There is no give and take with Consentino. If you have the temerity to point out his illegalities he goes after you, your family, and your business. As he did with me. All because he did not like being told he could not vote as selectman upon his own request as police chief to withdraw money from the donation account.

Evidently you defend corruption, But he has been fired for serially sexually harrassing the dispatcher young enough to be his daughter, so now you just have to worry about his corruption as selectman

Mark Acciard said...

Ah let the lies commence. I never got banned from the ET. keep lying. And Consentino lost the ethics case, was found in Contempt of Court. Lost his motion to stay the order, and was denied cert from the Supreme Court. PLUS he withdrew(wisely) his frivolous slander case against me two weeks before trial.

Those are the facts.

As for his firing I did not try to "smear" him. I related the facts. I have never said anything untrue about Phil.

i left town because my wife left because my house and car were vandalized in his name.

I'm not Ms. Green but I am one of the older person[s] you refer to that has to watch out for my/our spending of money in order to live. You can call us older people "old and bitter" if you want but if I live long enough to see what struggles you'll have when you get older I'll have the last laugh at your expense. We older people have the right to live our lives out with out your dumb stupid remarks towards us . You forget that if it weren't for us you wouldn't have what you have today. We fought the wars and built our countries present status of living life before you were born with any intelligent thoughts of having to so. You knock every thing we older people say and you seem to forget that we pay taxes to educate children even though we have no children in the need for education. Are you willing to pay our share of taxes for education? I think not because all you think about is you. You remind me of the labor unions that always said not to be thinking I I I and ME Me ME instead of We We We. Instead of being a Mexican song and dance person [I I I] or the musical singers that says [Me Me ME] all the time why not join we old timers and become a We We We person and plan every ones future just as WE WE WE did before your dumb and stupid postings of your self only diatribes. I do hope you suffer more than what a good many of us older people do today in our struggles to survive in keeping a roof over our heads. Oh! Just as an after thought would your parents be pleased with your ways of thinking after having educated and raised you? I doubt it but then may be you are what you have been raised to be,a very stupid selfish person, to post as you have here. Yes it is just my humble opinion isn't it?

11:54, We are all fiscally responsible for our debts now and into the future. It is not just you young twits that you seem to be saying are supporting all that YOUR TAXES pay for. That is not true and your ,again, stupid and self only thinking posts seem to show us who read here that you are wrong? What you apparently think is that the old people do just suck off the teats of others who pay taxes. I think not due to the fact we are and have grown up where you haven't had any chance or desire to grow up and pay your way as we elderly have through the years we did. I'm not looking for a hand out but I am looking for what I expected having worked all of my life. I do not see that now but I did expect and want no less than the other elderly that have and do pay their way tax wise in all respects.Do you deny that if it were not for we the elderly that you and others of your selfish type, would have the lives you share today? I wouldn't live any where else in the world even in Norway, Denmark,or Sweden where they take care of the elderly with health care,rights to pensions,and other living standards that includes rights to education for the young and elderly. Yes! They pay taxes higher than us but they all share in paying them knowing that they will receive good care when they get old. With what I've written here you can bet your life that the towns ,cities, state,and federal governments will not compare with helping the elderly the countries I've mention here. I had worked for and saved money to live on but you forget that the cost of living has gone way higher up like the sky rockets we see on July fourth. I think it is a shame that electricity and other things we have to have are going up when the costs of oil have gone down to a level very tolerable as compared to no less than a year ago. I guess its just alright and ok for you to say that we elderly have to accept that one living cost will come down [oil] and the other living costs will go up to continually suck us dry of what money we have left as well as our homes we can no longer afford to live in.

To nitwit Jimi Ray, The two posts before yours didn't name the Conman in them . From what I read it was directed to the pols in town who are running things here that should be thrown out of town hall . Those who will not do what is best for its residents and not themselves or their cronies deserve to be done away with in the next election. Your the one who named the Conman so I'm of the opinion that you are a true nitwit who is just doing their best to insight more negativeness that favors your being friends with the persons alluded to in the two posts before your dumb post. Change your ways or is it because you enjoy paying through the nose with high taxes.

Stevie Ray you just don't get it do you?I,too, love your posts and you crack me up . Experience of life at my stage in it shows me how nutty you truly are. You should go to the Hampstead Hospital asap because all you do is waste your present time in life making no real contribution to our society and its wants, caring, and needs of other people in this world because your failure to see what is supposed to be considered normal for reactions to other people in their lives . The shame of it all is you really get off doing as you do. I hope you pay dearly for your thoughtless and mean ways that you think is just having fun with those you offend. If I were to live long enough to see what happens to you in your old age in this regard I'll be clapping my hands until they were raw. Contrary to your belief I'm not angry at the world nor am I less frisky than you. If any thing I am not selfish or abusive towards others except you who deserve it. Yes!,I am a believer in religion but I see you aren't by the way you conduct your self.

"duplicitous behavior that's been ongoing by officials in Sandown"

Anonymous said...

CLASSIC NEWS TODAY JUST GREAT COMMENTS IN THE TRIBUNE:


"Collins said the "murkiness" surrounding the original warrant article vote to authorize a study back in March also persuaded him to vote against withdrawal. In recent weeks, a group that calls itself "Citizens Against Withdrawal from Timberlane" has expressed that its members did not understand that the withdrawal study could potentially result in a districtwide vote on the matter.

"When that citizen's petition came up for discussion, within the first couple of minutes the consequences (of a study) were downplayed by the architect of the citizen's petition — drastically downplayed," Collins said. "That concerns me, too, that the public was misled."

Michelle Livingston, an organizer behind the Citizens group, said "the next step is to get the town of Sandown to not submit a minority report."

Under state law, if a minority of the withdrawal committee disagreed with the majority's vote not to withdraw, a separate minority report could advocate for withdrawal and be submitted at the same time. The committee's deadline to submit their report is Nov. 15.

Collins, Grosky and Livingston all said they did not believe a minority report could be submitted because the 5-0-2 vote is considered unanimous, and therefore, did not create a minority.

"People are probably going to think otherwise, but if you read the law...you would understand that if there's no minority, how could there be a minority report?" Collins said. "I don't think that will stop them, honestly...but that's their decision. It's out of our hands."

Grosky said he is "hopeful that the decision by our committee helps to iron out a lot of the noise and somewhat duplicitous behavior that's been ongoing by officials in Sandown," but he expects "that some rogue group without any standing will try to submit something that they call a minority report and we'll deal with that if and when that happens."

Collins said Buco, one of the committee members who abstained from the vote and the former chair of the now-disbanded Minority Committee, "wouldn't answer any direct questions about whether she's going to continue with her efforts" in examining the potential for Sandown's withdrawal.

Buco could not be reached for comment."


THE BEST IS BUCO REFUSED TO COMMENT BUT SHE HAS PLENTY TO SAY ON GREENS BLOG, IF THAT WAS METZLER WHO REFUSED TO COMMENT, THE SHRIEKING SHRILL WOULD BE ASKING FOR HIM TO RESIGN.

SALEM, N.H. — An Atkinson man was arrested Sunday afternoon and charged with using heroin in the parking lot of Rockingham Mall.

Police arrested Alexander DiMaggio, 28, on charges of reckless conduct, driving under the influence of drugs and possession of heroin. The arrest happened about 5:45 p.m., police said.


Officer Justin Bagley was patrolling the mall parking lot when he saw a suspicious vehicle stopped against a light pole, police said. Bagley said he found the driver, DiMaggio, unconscious behind the wheel with heroin in the car.

After Bagley tried to get DiMaggio's attention, he regained consciousness and drove off, crashing into the rear of a parked vehicle and driving into a tree before coming to a stop at a fire hydrant, police said. They said the crash caused no injuries.

DiMaggio was held on $2,500 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday. Police said if he was able to post bail overnight, he would be arraigned Oct. 19 in Salem District Court.

A local man is facing numerous charges after crashing his SUV at the mall after an alleged drug overdose, according to police.

Alexander DiMaggio, 28, of Atkinson, was arrested at Oct. 4, 2015, for reckless conduct, driving under the influence of drugs and possession of heroin.

“Concerned for the driver’s well being, the officer attempted to make contact,” according to Keating. “The driver regained consciousness and abruptly drove off, crashing into the rear of a parked vehicle and continuing over a tree, coming to a final rest on a fire hydrant.”

The officer allegedly recovered a quantity of heroin from the vehicle. There were no injuries as a result of the incident, according to the report.

I wonder if Sapia will try to get his turf speal ok'd by the TRSD after what has been written about crumb rubber used in making the artificial turf. After my reading about the turfs health issues I'll stay with good old fashioned real grass.

Turf is excellent just see Haverhill stadium, as a former professional athlete i can tell you that less injuries occur on turf, there are many types of turf systems for you to compare them and base your opinion on them when you don't even know which one you would get is just plain stupid.

Anonymous said...

I am not aware of any wide selection of varieties in/of artificial turf that could be selected as safe to use. I do know there are various varieties of natural grass and it has very little health issues. Allergies are one thing but diseases are another. What can be used in place of ground up rubber that makes falling on as to being cushioned enough to help prevent injuries? Artificial turf has to be maintained and eventually in time taken up and replaced at great cost . Why not stick with natural grass and save the troubling costs and up keep in replacing natural turf. The diseases,cancer among them, has been recorded with the use of artificial turf and is a turn off to me,how about you who read this?

Anonymous said...

The point of that fiasco was that Sapia had pushed for an irrigation system for the ball fields then tried to sell the astro turf to the same crowd. When it came for a vote, not one person voted aye, not one. Not even Jack.

Football is a contact sport that can cause injuries but you have to be the one to accept that if you want to play the game. That is the chance you take to play. Very few head injuries cause death and related injuries as compared to motorcycle riding w/o a helmet. We tax payers are the ones that pay for their foolish mistake of not wearing helmets. Families are the ones who have the responsibilities of taking care of them if they are able if not then we have to pay their bills while in the hospitals ,nursing home,etc.until they pass on. The same thing happens when playing sports. I wonder if the Conman has a head injury from one or the other that has made him such a big costly head filled ego problem to us all. 9:24 PM certainly appears to be him making the post.

When it comes to honesty about the costs of suits and the town being the laughing stock of the state for what the Conman has done I'll take Accaird over the Conman and others like SAPia who only wants to fill their pockets with the sale of things such as turf that has health issues for example. You do know that Halloween is fast in coming again. Shall we let that or some thing else happen again to tarnish the town again? I do realize that a lot of what is posted here is just the work of the nut cases that want to stir up trouble to avoid the real issues of wrong doing that has taken place up to now. -- Well !! its time to get ready for work so I can pay my unfair share of taxes like every one else that allows the Conman and his cronies to cost us all so much to live here in town.

So who sent the post cards out and what is their real agenda? The money and time it cost to print or even to copy a master card and then distribute them to the towns people has to have been for self only reasons. The TRSD is a subject that concerns every citizen of the towns that are involved and they should have the knowledge of what is going on. Why didn't the person[s] who made the postcards to distribute just go to the papers for that? Politics are known to be dirty and this really takes the cake. It shows me that there is more to this than what meets the eye and on its allegedly informative surface for just some to see and not for all involved to see.

You can be so dumb. I said I won't forget him. What's to disagree with? Do you interpret this to mean I don't know how badly he's been treated? Well, don't read things into what I said. Mark was targeted by the town nasties for being honest and he was always RIGHT. The town nasties are the cause of all the trouble we have and they all work together to bully people like Mark.

I'm sorry that you apparently failed to read correctly what was posted about Mark Acciard. - If you read again what I wrote you'd never have said what you did about my being dumb. If you did like what I wrote then I have to ask is it you think I'm against Mark Acciard when it should be obvious I'm against the Conman and his pals. Talk about dumb now who is the dumb one?

You. You are twisting around words and presuming things that were not conveyed. All I said was that he is not forgotten. That's it, I said nothing more.

Now your trying to defend yourself when all that I posted is in front of you to have read . I'm not looking to "fight" with you but you made a mistake in your reading what was written by me for all to see and read. You should be more careful in your descriptive selection of words that you post here. Getting a better pair of glasses could help you read better or use a prescription medicine that is designed to keep your mind straight so you can really read and understand what is posted.

You're very rude too. Do something about the anger problem.

Mark Acciard said...

Really 2:24? what is the alleged fraud? Do tell. I love how brave people become when they post in anonymity. I remember a poster who went under the byline of Janus on the old Atkinson reporter who whined like a little girl when his employer was apprised of his activities and his laptop seized, and job threatened. Remember that Frank?

How soon we forget the illegal and stupid ways frank sited make believe law

I am 12:03 and 12:43 PM, Mark I'm not trying to drag you into this problem I'm having with 12:52PM but I want to ask if you think or thought I'm rude and have some anger problem as he/she describes that I have. I don't think I do if I am speaking the truth in what I have posted thus far and what I have read about your problems you have had with you know who. After all of what is published in and on the public record this person fails to see and refuses to acknowledge public records as a truth. Thank you for standing up to the towns bullies as you have.

10:39 don't sweat it. Nothing you will say that will change the takers mind or foolish posts. There is so much denial in this town that you and all other concerned citizens will not change the takers minds one bit.

"This person" as you call him, is a friend of Mark Acciard. All I said was that I won't forget him. He did a lot for the town so so back off and take a pill.

Harassment and libel are actionable. He had the absolute right to stop him from abusing him. If someone did you wrong, would you ignore it? I doubt it.

The "little guy" used his work computer to accuse another townsperson of a crime! Poor little guy? Seriously...he has only himself to blame. When you target another person you'd better be willing to take your lumps.

Mark Acciard said...

No, I did not call his employer. He made libelous statements accusing someone of aiding and abetting a crime. He did it because he thought he was anonymous, He evidently was not because months later he was whining to the selectmen that his company laptop was seized and his job threatened. Guess you should not visit a blog for nefarious purposes 235 times in one month while you are being paid to work. OR since you considered yourself 1/4th of the "Goombah quartet" You could have the stones to make your comments under your own name. But THAT would have taken integrity and honor.

And if I sound disrespectful, you are correct. it was EARNED by this sackless weasel.

I believe Mark didn't have any thing to do with it. If your so intent on placing blame on him then why don't you call on the business and find out who turned in the jerk. At least then you'll stop making accusations you can't prove. If they will not tell you who the person is then you can outwardly ask if it were Mark. They'd have no reason to not give the answer to that question. Today is Sunday and there are a lot of hypocrites going into their churches that refuse to be good people by making false accusations about others. Are you one of them or do you have the proof that he is responsible for turning in the jerk to his employer? The jerk was caught making to many emails not related to the companies work. Firing him for doing so should have taken place. Now you can go to church and ask for forgiveness that is if you can get it.

To above 6:26 , he is a sneak and a weasel and always sticking his nose into things that have nothing to do with him, that says a lot.

To above3:46PM , You just can't stop shoveling the ---- you have on your farm and spew here when it comes to any one exposing you for what you are. That being the very ---- you have plenty of that you shovel in trying to defend your costly actions in the past 40 or more years to the town. Why don't you just give it all up and disappear to the hell you deserve and let us live in peace.

Anonymous said...

3:46 , This is 6:26 giving you my response to your saying he is a sneak and a weasel. He wasn't either when he openly exposed the Conman and his friends for what they eventually did to him to keep Acciard quite after having spoken up about these corrupt jackasses . If that is being a sneak and a weasel then you best look up the meaning of the two words you used to describe him. When you do you'll find that your the very words you used to describe him. Now go back to shoveling your ---- at your farm but not here in the town.

Will these apply to the School board.
Right to Know New Hampshire, has authored and submitted, to the New Hampshire House of Representatives, three bills to bring the letter of the right to know law closer to the spirit of the law. These bills, which amend the Right-To-Know law (RSA 91-A), will help to increase public disclosure and improve government transparency.

House Bill 2016-H-2581 requires the content for nonpublic meeting minutes meet the same minimum standard as public meeting minutes.

House Bill 2016-H-2582 requires that when a vote is taken during a nonpublic meeting, the minutes of that meeting shall record all votes such that each member’s vote is recorded, so you, the voter, will know how your elected officials are representing you.

House Bill 2016-H-2580 requires that when a quorum of the public body convenes for the specific purposes of strategy or negotiations related to collective bargaining or for consultation with legal counsel, a record of the meeting must be kept. The record only contains minimal information such as meeting place, date, time, and the people in attendance.

Donna Greens court hearing went very well and I bet the decision will be a boon for our right to know laws.
There is a video of the hearing and the school's records will and should be for all to see without having to go through their smoke screen hiding their outrageous salaries for the administration. Our tax dollars are being misused to make the staffs pocketbooks way out of proportion to other school districts. As the video shows the school's administrators had or have no leg to stand on in this hearing. Thanks Mrs. Green BTW Someone should send this video to Atkinson's selectmen they toot the same way as Timberlane when you want past records.
