A Hudson man is facing manslaughter and other charges in connection with a fatal crash Wednesday night in Litchfield that police say might have been intentional is charged with several offenses in connection with Wednesday night's fatal crash in Litchfield during his video arraignment in Merrimack District Court Thursday A 19-year-old Hudson man charged with numerous offenses in connection with Wednesday night’s crash that claimed the life of a Londonderry man was ordered held without bail at his arraignment Thursday in Merrimack District Court Police say the crash involving a motorcycle and two other vehicles may have been intentional is facing seven charges including manslaughter and negligent homicide as a result of the crash that killed an as yet unidentified motorcyclist on Route 102 in Litchfield Police were called to a two-car head-on crash shortly after 9 p.m was lying unresponsive on the shoulder of the road The rider was pronounced dead a short time later on Friday morning after an autopsy was conducted Thursday by the New Hampshire Office of the Chief Medical Examiner Prosecutor Jason Moore said officers spoke with Burke and determined that Burke was under the influence The roadside investigation also indicated that the crash “may have been intentional,” Moore added suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene The Mitsubishi driver has not been identified Burke is facing one count each of manslaughter (reckless); negligent homicide; first-degree assault with a deadly weapon; aggravated DWI (serious bodily injury); reckless conduct (deadly weapon); witness tampering; and vehicular assault Burke was also charged with one count of second-degree murder but Litchfield Police Chief Daniel Jones said later that the charge “is not being brought at this time.” Moore said in his argument for preventive detention that whether the murder charge will be reinstated depends on the continuing investigation into whether Burke intentionally crashed into the motorcyclist Moore said investigators were planning to reach out to several witnesses Thursday morning who represented Burke at his arraignment and appeared with him on video from Valley Street jail told Judge Mark Derby that the defense needs the victim’s information in order to properly represent Burke Fourakis argued for $10,000 cash bail for Burke with conditions that include he surrender his driver’s license not drive any type of vehicle and submit to evaluations for drugs and alcohol as well as for mental health “There’s no reason to think that John is a danger to himself or others if he’s not driving,” Fourakis said In granting Moore’s argument for preventive detention Derby agreed to schedule a probable cause hearing for 11 a.m telling the parties that they can revisit the bail issue at that time told the court that Burke was “dealt a bad hand” in childhood having lived with different relatives during his upbringing Burke graduated from Alvirne High School last year having earned certification as a diesel engine mechanic Burke was transported to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center in Nashua for treatment of minor injuries and then taken to jail

building renovation project was near completion “Staff will hopefully start moving in by April 28,” she reported and the trailer currently providing office space will be removed by May 20 The board then heard about the village wastewater management ordinance The committee is working on the final revisions to the document and plans to present the proposed draft at the May 5 or May 19 selectboard meeting The committee wants to give the selectboard time to review the “lengthy document,” with the main remaining question to be answered will the selectboard be functioning as the village wastewater system operator This was discussed at the March 17 meeting and is typically how other towns structure the position Short-term rental (STR) administrator Andy Dahlstrom then reviewed some of the proposed amendments to the STR ordinance Some changes include requiring a Knox Box for units that have an automatic fire alarm system; having a second means of escape in every sleeping space of each registered unit; and each STR owner is responsible for removal or recycling Noncompliant properties will be fined for each offense with the rate of the fine increasing with each offense listing the proposed amendments and fine fees is available on the town website within the April 21 meeting packet The selectboard unanimously voted to adopt the amended ordinance and has warned the adoption for public review A representative from Green Mountain Power (GMP) then reported on the pole upgrade project GMP is making upgrades throughout the state and plans to work from Weston to Londonderry rebuilding circuits and upgrading poles and lines They added that if a resident wants to upgrade what they already have they would make those accommodations upon request at the customer’s expense This

searching for a new facility or a property to build one on Prouty asked if the ownership needed to be connected directly to the fire department Prouty said there was previous discussion about possibly moving the road crew and town garage to a piece of private land moving the fire station to the current town garage facility The board plans to look at the town maps to identify a property that may be able to be connected to the wastewater with water available or the ability to drill a well The board hopes to find a solution “soon.” Treasurer Tina Labeau then read from a vendor proposal to update the town’s website so that it has better usability and funtionality Tulloch conducted some extensive research into a few options Labeau said they want a company with a strong history working with town and local government websites someone who can meet requirements and not just deadlines “We didn’t necessarily look at the least expensive because you get what you pay for.” Labeau and Tulloch proposed Revize with a $15,000 contract which includes a $5,560 initial onboarding fee agreeing that spreading the costs out over time was preferred over one front-load cost The Londonderry Selectboard meets

around the Bedford High School girls basketball team of the opportunity to complete back-to-back undefeated seasons Bedford had gone about its business one game at a time and that was focus that forged the Bulldogs to that now-impressive reality Top-seeded Bedford opened up a 12-point lead midway through the third quarter and held off a late surge by No 2 Londonderry to seal Bedford’s second straight championship and 43rd straight victory at the University of New Hampshire’s Lundholm Gymnasium Bedford (22-0) also defeated Londonderry (22-2) last month when it scored the final 16 points of the game in a 60-53 win we talk about playing the next game and to this minute I don’t think anyone has said anything about them being undefeated,” Bedford coach Kevin Gibbs said after the game

The Year and Boston University-bound Kate Allard led Bedford with 12 points Mel McCarthy chipped in with nine points and seven rebounds “We worked really hard for this and I’m so glad we could close this out and it feels really good to go out this way,” Allard said so we had to come out super strong and we knew we had to get the lead early to be in control of the game because these games are nerve-racking when you’re down.” Bedford led 12-10 after one quarter and began the second quarter with a pair of buckets by Eva Zink The Lancers’ Gemma Murray then buried a 3-pointer but Allard countered with one of her own to give Bedford a 21-15 lead with 3:39 left in the half After Londonderry’s Brooke Eacrett drained a 3-pointer Allard closed out the half in style when Sarah Muir pushed the ball ahead to her for a layup as time expired to give Bedford a 25-18 lead “We didn’t come out with the amount of intensity we needed to come out with and they did and that was it,” Londonderry coach Jon Doherty said It was a mental game where we could have shared the ball a bit better Bedford extended the cushion by beginning the third quarter with a 9-4 run that was capped off by layups from McCarthy “There was a stretch there where we weren’t scoring and they weren’t scoring either “Then we started to extend it a little bit and our kids played hard and they defended.” Eacrett beat the buzzer to trim Londonderry’s deficit to 37-29 entering the fourth quarter and the Lancers crept within 40-37 on a layup by Sammie Sullivan (20 points) with 5:21 remaining The Bulldogs were able to close the game out by making seven of 12 free throws “We’ve been here before so we knew we had that experience but we knew it was going to be a tough game no matter what,” Annie Zink said “We just played together and focused on everything we worked hard on all season that brought us here today.” A rendering of a bar and lounge inside O’Neil Cinemas that will offer food and drinks as part of a

and second whether the trial court deprived him of due process when it denied his request for a hearing on the admissibility of the evidence the state Supreme Court found that “even if corroboration were required here there was evidence that corroborated the associate’s statement and provided sufficient indicia of reliability.” the state presented a detailed description of the solicitation in its motion a screenshot of text messages between the defendant and the associate that supported the associate’s statement that he and the defendant met during the relevant time period and a transcript of a statement given to the police by a third party to whom the associate described the defendant’s solicitation,” the order says “Nor did the state’s evidence lack reliability it is for the jury to ultimately determine credibility and to decide what weight should be given to the evidence.” Argie pleaded guilty to a reckless conduct charge after he pointed a gun out a window while driving on Interstate 93 in Windham on Dec troopers responded to a call from a driver who said a man — later identified as Argie — passed him in a pickup truck and aimed a gun at him In court paperwork related to the gun incident Argie wrote that at the time he was employed at Physician One Urgent Care in Medford Argie was licensed in New Hampshire until 2016 court records show Argie was given a one-year jail term that was suspended for two years He was also prohibited from possessing firearms during the suspension period Argie was also ordered to perform 25 hours of community service and undergo an anger-management evaluation pfeely@unionleader.com The defense for a physician assistant from Londonderry accused of murdering his wife wants to block evidence from his upcoming trial A physician assistant from Londonderry accused of murdering his wife as their marriage crumbled is described as a gambling addict who struggle… BRENTWOOD — A physician assistant from Londonderry has pleaded not guilty to charges he murdered his wife and tried to hide her cellphone as t… BRENTWOOD — A judge has ordered Elliot Health System to turn over to state prosecutors the medical records of a Londonderry woman allegedly mu… waived formal arraignment in Rockingham County Superior Court and entered not-guilty pleas on two counts of second-degree murder in the death of 39-year-old Maureen Argie LONDONDERRY — Police arrested William Argie charging him in the murder of his wife Maureen Argie LONDONDERRY — An investigation into the suspicious death of a 41-year-old local woman at 118 West Road remains active and ongoing according to… Deja Vu Furniture & More put out a be-on-the-lookout alert on Facebook for their missing muppets last week store manager at Deja Vu Furniture & More in Londonderry put out a be-on-the-lookout alert for missing Bert and Ernie hand puppets (Muppets) who were taken from the store recently This Big Bird bowling pin misses his friends Bert and Ernie after the roommates famous for their hijinks were taken from Deja Vu Furniture & More in Londonderry recently Crystal Rollins and her co-workers fanned out and searched every inch of their easy-to-get-lost-in 24,000-square-foot Londonderry shop but Bert and Ernie were nowhere to be found Sometime on the afternoon of March 15, the two late-1970s-era hand puppets (Muppets to be precise) left the building and Rollins, manager of Deja Vu Furniture & More not-for-sale pair known for their hijinks and humor probably weren’t playing a prank on her They likely didn’t just get up and walk out of Hillside Avenue’s cavernous and kitschy maze of eclectic furnishings They couldn’t have been mistakenly swiped by a child given the pedestal they had been displayed on (higher than the top of a 5-foot 4-inch reporter’s head) and proximity to the cashier Rollins knew how much they meant to owners Tim and Martha Stavrou, so she asked the community for help on Facebook “We just put out the BOLO so far,” Rollins said Wednesday of the be-on-the-lookout alert which to date has received the most engagement ever for one of Deja Vu’s posts “Police said they had to be missing for a certain amount of time We’re waiting until today’s episode is brought to you by the number 20 to be able to report it.” Detective Grover and Sherlock Hemlock have yet to respond to the Union Leader’s Right-to- Know request for a list of possible suspects but we’re told the Great Cookie Thief has been ruled out The owners would be happy to take back their beloved Sesame Street roommates The Muppets aren’t worth much other than the memories they evoke.
