A4 THE GILFORD STEAMER OPINION JUNE 19, 2008 EDITORIAL ● What to do in the interim?

The Towns of Gilford and Sanbornton had the same decision to make recently – what to do about hiring an interim town administrator. The deci- sions went in two different directions, and we can’t help but think one was better than the other. Why do the Gilford selectmen think it’s a good idea to appoint Police Chief John Markland as in- terim town administrator? We have no problem with Markland and have heard only positive things about him as police chief. That’s not the issue at all. The concern lies in the fact that, rather than hiring an experienced interim administrator, the town is taking an employee who is successfully running one department and moving him to a de- partment he knows far less about. What does this mean? It means that come July, two departments will be run by people who are probably going to need some on-the-job training. Captain Kevin Keenan is taking over the day-to- day operations of the police department. We don’t know his qualifications but assume he’s capable of taking on the challenge; that doesn’t mean, how- ever, that the department will run as smoothly as it would if Markland was around full time. Kudos COURTESY PHOTO to Markland for saying that the PD will be his pri- ority,but the fact is, the department is going to be Fountain of granite short one full-time employee, and the most impor- A replacement water fountain of solid granite has been donated to Laconia's Gale Memorial Library by the Opechee Garden Club as part of the gar- den renovation process.
