SB246, (Qualified Private Communities Act) will be heard before the New Hampshire House of Representatives, Municipal and County Government Committee this Thursday, April 7, 2022, at 11:00am. SB246 is companion legislation to SB250 (Tax Credit) which passed the New Hampshire Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs Committee in February as an interim study bill which in legislative parlance means the bill is dead. SB250 would have given municipalities the authority to offer property tax credits to existing qualified private road residents. However, that same Senate Committee recommended SB246 be sent as amended to the full Senate which then voted to pass it on to the House. SB246 is mandatory legislation which will require municipalities and developers to respectively approve and build future qualified residential private road communities under either one of two conditions: Number one, build the private roads to existing municipal public road standards (so that residents may later petition the municipality to take over the financial and legal responsibilities of maintaining and replacing those roads and related infrastructure); or number two, require the developer to fund a fair estimate type of Capital Reserve based on certain factors of the cost to replace those private roads and related infrastructure at the time of completion (and turn those funds over to the residents to help defray future road/infrastructure maintenance and replacement costs). It is crucial that SB246 be approved by the House Municipal and County Government Committee this Thursday and passed to the full House for a vote as this legislation would be the first recognition by Concord to fix the unfair imbalance of property taxation of private road residents to public road residents. If we can get this legislation passed it will help future efforts to pass legislation for existing private road residents. Anyone residing on a private road should visit www.nhpvrta.com , sign up and follow the instructions of what to do to support this important legislation as this is the initial step in creating tax fairness between private and public road residents. The NHPVRTA fully intends to follow through with additional legislation next year to remedy the long-time property tax injustices for all current private road residents. Woods Without Gile owners named 2022 NH Outstanding Tree Farmers of the Year
The N.H. Tree Farm Program has announced that Ann and Marc Davis have been named New Hampshire’s 2022 Outstanding Tree Farmers of the Year. Straddling Springfield and Wilmot, the Davises’ 500-acre tree farm, Woods Without Gile, is a working forest that implements the four pillars of the Tree Farm program: wood, water, wildlife and recreation. “When we purchased the property in 2002, the forest was dense and had been severely damaged by the 1998 ice storm,” said Ann Davis. “Working with Tim Wallace, a licensed New Hampshire forester, we’ve had four timber harvests that have focused on extricating some of the damaged hardwood, which has allowed existing conifers to regenerate and flourish.” The Walker Lecture Series invites you to join us for Counterfeit Cash, a Tribute to Johnny Cash Counterfeit Cash, a Johnny Cash tribute band, performs songs made famous by the man in black, including “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Ring of Fire,” and “Big River.” Wednesday, April 6, 2022, at 7:30 PM Concord City Auditorium FREE www.walkerlecture.org Danbury, NH: Join friends and family at the Veteran Venture Walk, a cake-walk like fundraiser where you have a chance to win great locally produced products while supporting Merrimack County’s Veteran Market Dollar Program.

Back in the 1960’s and 70’s I grew up mainly in Keene, NH and attended elementary, Jr High and 2 Years of High school there. Although we did not attend the same elementary schools John Shelley and I did have common friends and then went to Jr High together, but he moved to Massachusetts, and I moved to Dallas for the first two years of High school so imagine my reaction when 50 years later I found out he wrote and was producing a rock-opera.
"Man on the Hill is a fable-opus-rock-opera: a musical work that tells a story through narration and song. Man On the Hill is a theatrical rock opera in the tradition of Jesus Christ Superstar, Tommy, and Bat Out of Hell. The music was conceived by writer/producer John Stanley Shelley in 2018 and after the release of the CD in May of 2019, he started working on a stage show.
