Kuster touts local food i visit to couty complex BY DARIN WIPPERMAN courierreporter@salmopress.com N. HAVERHILL New Hampshire has ofte lacked a member o the U.S. House of Represetatives Agriculture Committee. Rep. A McLae Kuster, a curret member of the committee, promised to use her seat to support local farmers. Our voice has ot bee heard, Kuster said of the state s historical absece from the Agriculture Committee. However, she cotiued, I m proud to say I m goig to be loud ad bold for the New Hampshire farmer. Kuster said there was good ews for the state s agriculture idustry. Cotrary to a atioal tred, she declared, We have bee gaiig farms each year. I wat to be a voice for those small family farms, Kuster added. Kuster said the strog Eat Local movemet beefits those lookig to grow food i the Graite State. The purpose of the afteroo, Kuster said, was to foster dialogue betwee govermet ad farmers. She wated to hear thoughts from growers i order to carry those ideas forward i Washigto, Kuster said. Govermet officials who joied Kuster at the meetig icluded Jay Phiizy, New Hampshire director for the Farm Service Agecy. Deb Weymouth of the Natural Resources Coservatio Service was aother participat. Her agecy admiisters several programs focused o savig lad. NCRS programs serve a variety of people.

Kuster ad her fellow govermet represetatives heard a variety of questios from the audiece. These icluded cocers about the H-2A agricultural workers visa. Kuster said a bipartisa group supports reform of the program to help farmers attract employees. However, the larger atioal debate over immigratio serves as a roadblock to H-2A reform, Kuster oted. If this was up to the Ag Committee, she said of the agriculture visa chages, we could get this doe. Some cocer was also expressed about food labelig laws. Kuster said she was iterested i a balaced approach that does ot seem to dimiish markets for o-orgaic foods. Eve so, Kuster suggested that the push for orgaic produce ad food ot geetically modified is a cosumer drive movemet. Supportig orgaic producers is a way to meet that growig demad locally, the represetative cotiued. Kuster said her policy emphasis is helpig all local farmers. She cited a statistic that 95 percet of the food cosumed i New Hampshire is ot grow i the state. I wat to chage that, she added, We ca grow food here. I commets to the Courier, Kuster said those iterested i startig or growig a agriculture operatio have a strog group of state ad federal experts ready to assist.

4 Opiio A4 Thursday, APRIL 16, 2015 From the Capital steps BY SEN. JEANIE FORRESTER District 2 For the last four years, I have writte a mothly ews colum to iform my costituets o what is happeig i Cocord ad i the District. This moth s colum is differet it is a call to actio. I am askig you to reach out to the Goveror ad tell her to support our seiors ad our most vulerable citizes, ad ot take $7 millio from ursig homes, mid-level care, ad home health care i New Hampshire. While much of the focus i the ews has bee o the theft of fuds to the private ad couty ursig homes, I am just as cocered about the devastatio that will be caused to home care, home health, ad mid-level care to the tue of over $10 millio ($5.1 i state geeral fuds ad a matchig amout from the federal govermet) should the Goveror s raid prevail. I the state budget, these log-term care services are orgaized i the followig categories: Mid-level care orgaizatios: assisted livig facilities or residetial care homes that are a step below ursig homes i terms of level of care ad do ot ecessarily provide 24/7 ursig care. Home health care waiver services: medical-type services provided by licesed home health agecies ad VNAs (skilled ursig, physical therapy, etc.) at home. Home support waiver services: o-medical services that ca be provided by ulicesed caregivers (persoal care, meals, adult medical day care, home modificatio services, adult i-home care, etc.) at home. Seate Bill 8, which tells the Goveror to follow the law, passed the Seate 16 to 8 o a roll call vote. Although it tured out that way this should ot have bee a partisa issue. Imagie my surprise whe the majority of Seate Democrats voted agaist the bill, which would sed the moey back to the ursig homes ad home health care agecies. The bill is ow i the House Fiace Committee for cosideratio. Durig testimoy i the House last week, the CEO of the Graite State Home Health Associatio, which represets New Hampshire s home health/ visitig urse agecies testified that these agecies provide a full rage of services to Medicaid cliets icludig those erolled i the state s Choices for Idepedece (CFI) program. These services mea vulerable seiors who are eligible for istitutioal care ca stay i their homes at a much lower cost to the Medicaid program. Home care agecies have struggled for years to provide high quality services at 2006 reimbursemet rates. The cost of wages ad beefits for home care workers icreases each year ad it is icreasigly difficult to recruit qualified workers to care for the growig umbers of elderly people who require services. May agecies have made the difficult decisio ot to accept ew CFI cliets because NH Medicaid does t cover the costs. Takig fuds from the home ad commuity-based care lies to fill a deficit rather tha adequately payig providers is irresposible ad short-sighted.

Holy Triity (Roma Catholic) From Fr. Leo The parish celebratios of Easter ad the days leadig up to it provided heart-warmig ad soul-stirrig testimoy to our faith ad the power of these aciet yet ever ew rituals. However, Easter is ot over yet, at least from a liturgical/worship perspective. These past seve days, from Easter Suday to the Secod Suday of Easter, cotiue to impart that marvelous experiece of the Lord s Passio, Death, ad most especially, Resurrectio ad New Life. The Church, i her wisdom, deems it fittig to give a etire eightweek period to what is called the Easter Seaso. This gives us the ability to appreciate what Jesus Christ s sigular achievemet of Resurrectio did for us. Ad so for believers, the Easter Seaso cotiues. O behalf of the parish staff ad myself, I wat to express our appreciatio to everyoe who made these Holy Days so meaigful ad beautiful. Our thaks go out to our choirs o both campuses who practiced may hours for these celebratios, as well as for their dedicatio throughout the year.

Mark o the Markets BY MARK PATTERSON Fiacial literacy would have bee aother title gettig to the poit of what I wated to address this week. I will take a break from the off the grid series because I have had discussios with potetial cliets lookig for help with ivestmets, but ot havig a accurate accoutig of what they have. O several occasios i the recet moths, I have bee asked for help regardig a icome retiremet Ca you explai it? pla. Whe asked how their moey was ivested, they replied that they were i mutual fuds. As a part of my assessmet of the portfolio I ask to see their statemet with a listig of the fuds i it. If you have bee readig you would kow that I would probably extract the top holdigs from these fuds, put them o a spreadsheet ad look for overlap i compaies or lack of diversificatio of asset class. But there it is agai! A isurace product with mutual fuds i it called a variable auity. Not oe of these people that I was attemptig to help kew that they were i a product that traditioally has pretty high fees, market risks ad a moetary pealty for early withdrawals. Whe I asked them why they were i the VA, ot oe perso kew why they were i this product or ay potetial beefits, risk or features that should have bee explaied by the salesperso that sold it to them. I am ot opposed to product if it is what is best for the cliet, it just happeed to be a poor choice for these particular people that that I was attemptig to help. Aythig with the word variable likely has market risk associated with it. While market risk is fie for some, it is ot for others. If you wated to take o market risk for higher potetial gais, the you could go with mutual fuds, stocks or exchage traded fuds. The Auity just defers taxes ad may have some icome features. But a IRA is tax deferred already, or as we discussed last week you may wat to pay taxes ow ad take it tax free later. To be fair ad ope mided I have asked a few registered reps or advisors, those licesed to sell VA s, the advatages to ivestig i a VA vs mutual fuds or ETF s i a IRA. The cosesus aswer is that the commissio they make is higher i a VA tha the other ivestmets.

As Bamford said, We would also like to see ideas for improvemets eeded to help visitors get the most out of their visit to the byway, such as iformatio kiosks, sceic pull-offs, ad other tourist services. Whe first created, the River Heritage Trail icluded Route 116 betwee Fracoia ad Easto. Route 302 ad Route 3 betwee Littleto, Twi Moutai, ad Fracoia were also i the origial trail. Droppig these areas i the revised byway maagemet pla is suggested to ot duplicate portios i other sceic byways. Through the years, some commuities alog the byway have ot maitaied represetatio o the North Coutry s byway coucil. Route 302 i Ladaff ad Lisbo risk loss of status alog the byway because of the commuity s absece from the byway coucil. Farther south, Route 3 i Campto ad Thorto face the same risk of de-desigatio.

14 From the Frot A14 Parkig FROM PAGE A1 ago, dowtow busiess owers have complaied about the ew parkig ad traffic patter, sayig customers have told them that, rather tha stoppig ad tryig to park, they ow just keep goig. The state coducted a traffic study last year i respose to the complaits ad cocluded there was o serious problem, but residets who disagree brought up the issue agai durig the other busiess portio of the March Tow Meetig. The selectme ackowledged that the majority of residets seem to dislike the back-i parkig ad that, while the ew parkig was implemeted because studies have show it to be safer, the cofusio it has caused whe people do ot use it properly has had the opposite effect. Selectma Rick Alpers said the overall project has bee positive i both appearace ad safety. We got a lot of pluses with the recofiguratio, he said, ad both pedestria ad vehicular safety have improved. The parkig was the oly complait with the project, ad that s a easy fix. Mike Vigale of KV Parters, the firm that desiged the ew dowtow cofiguratio, said reversig the diagoal parkig will result i the loss of three parkig spaces because they would require vehicles to back ito crosswalks. Two of those would be o the tow-owed streets ad the third would be o Route 3-A. The selectme would like to have the parkig chages completed i time for Memorial Day but they also hope to do all the lie paitig at the same time ad that would require a aswer from the state about Rollis Block parkig. They said it would cause more cofusio if some of the dowtow parkig was face-i ad some still back-i; but they ackowledged that North Mai Street already has a mix of back-i ad parallel parkig. Not everyoe agreed that parkig was the oly problem dowtow. Residet ad former selectma Burt Williams said the oeway traffic out of the square o North Mai Street was icoveiet, forcig drivers to circle aroud o School Street, which is very arrow, or cotiuig orth ad ecouterig buses at the middle school. He asked the selectme to recosider allowig bak customers o North Mai Street to utilize the first 100 feet of North Mai for twoway traffic. That s ot goig to happe, said Chair Jaet Cote, otig that there had bee public hearigs to help determie the fial pla for the square. I other busiess, Alpers said he had spet the last two weeks thikig about the board s appoitmet of ewly elected member Paul Magaiello to the vice-chair positio. I have a hard time uderstadig how a idividual just startig o the board ca be vice-chair, he said. It takes a year or two to uderstad how this job works. This is ot about Paul; it applies to ay ew member. Alpers had omiated former vice-chair Shau Lagueux but Magaiello had wo o a 3-2 vote at the March 26 meetig. Alpers said, if ot Lagueux, there were other selectme who had spet time o the board ad would have bee qualified to take the job. Magaiello said he agreed. Maybe tesios were a little high, he said, ad maybe the vote was emotioally drive. I could see the eed for further experiece. He wet o to omiate Lagueux who, after some discussio amog board members about the eed to work as team i the best iterest of the tow, was elected to the positio Magaiello had held for just two weeks. Alpers followed up o the vote by sayig, If the five of us are goig to work together, we eed to be willig to compromise, which has ot bee the case. That led to fiery exchage betwee him ad Betsy Scheider util Cote cut them off. Historic District Commissioer Sadra Heaey discussed the repaitig of the Old Tow Hall which will be doe through a grat from the New Hampshire Lad ad Commuity Heritage Improvemet Program (LCHIP). She had solicited bids for the work ad, o her advice, the selectme awarded the bid to JLT Paitig, a local compay that has experiece with historic structures ad is familiar with the grat requiremets. The bid was $15,900 to strip ad repait the buildig. The selectme had scheduled a tour ad discussio of the future use of the Old Tow Hall o Summer Street for the morig of Saturday, May 30, but at Heaey s urgig, the time of the evet was moved to 1 p.m. Selectme approved Highway Superitedet Mark Buckli s request to switch to summer hours as soo as the weather cooperates which would have the highway crew workig four 10-hour days a week, with the departmet o call Friday through Suday for ay emergecies. Buckli said they have bee doig this for 10 years with great success.

I am excited about this, my first year coachig at the high school level, Johsto said. I am cofidet we ca build a softball program that is respected ad very competitive. Johsto comes to the Bears after may years coachig at the youth level ad at the middle school. He coached baseball at the Tapply Thompso Commuity Ceter for seve years ad the moved o to softball from 2009 to 2013 ad coached touramet teams each of those years.

Sice its iceptio i 1970, Earth Day has ispired millios of people to take actio to improve the eviromet. But the lessos of evirometalism ca also be applied to other areas of life such as ivestig. Specifically, as a ivestor, you may well wat to follow the three Rs : reduce, reuse ad recycle. Let s see how these evirometal themes ca be applied to your ivestmet habits: Reduce May of us probably ow more thigs tha we really eed. I fact, if all the other people o Earth used as much stuff as we do i the Uited States, the plaet would eed to have three to five times more space just to hold ad sustai everybody, accordig to the Natioal Istitute of Evirometal Health Scieces. So from a evirometal stadpoit, it might be smart for all of us to streamlie our possessios. Ad the same could be true for our ivestmets it s ot always a case of the more, the merrier. It s particularly importat ot to ow too may of the same type of ivestmets, because you could suffer a JOSHUA SPAULDING Hailey McAfee is oe of three seiors returig for the Newfoud softball team. outfield, as will Olivia Schofield. The team also has three returig juiors. Natalie Haskell is back setback i a market dowtur that primarily affects those assets. Reuse Oe way of beig evirometally coscious is to repair, rather tha replace, durable goods such as bicycles, washers, dryers, etc. After all, ew is ot always better. May ivestors are also proe to tossig out the old ad brigig i the ew ad ot always with the best results. For example, some ivestors switch their overall strategy every so ofte i attempts to capitalize o some tred they have heard about. But you re almost certaily better off by stickig with a log-term strategy that s appropriate for your goals, risk tolerace ad time horizo. Of course, withi your strategy you ca make adjustmets as your circumstaces chage over time, but there s probably o eed to toss your etire approach overboard. As you ivest, though, always be aware that the value of your ivestmets will fluctuate, ad there are o guaratees that you wo t lose value. Recycle Alumium cas become airplae parts, old phoe books are trasformed ito textbooks ad plastic beverage cotaiers may ed up as the carpetig to provide some iigs i the pitcher s circle ad will also play secod base. Caitli McAfee will be i the outfield ad at o your floors. It s truly amazig how recyclig ca give ew life to old, uwated products. I a way, you ca also recycle ivestmets that o loger meet your eeds, either because your circumstaces have chaged or because the ivestmets themselves have become fudametally altered as is the case whe a compay i which you ivested has shifted its focus or take its busiess i a ew directio. Istead of just liquidatig the ivestmet ad usig the cash to buy, say, a ultra-high-defiitio televisio with all the bells ad whistles, you could fid a ew use for the proceeds i your ivestmet portfolio. To ame oe possibility, you could use the moey to help save for a child s college educatio. Or you might use it to help fill other gaps i your portfolio. By followig the reduce, reuse ad recycle philosophy, you ca help make the world a greeer place to live. Ad by applyig the same priciples to the way you ivest, you ca create a healthier eviromet i which to pursue your importat fiacial goals.
