This year the County recognizes one individual that we dedicate this year’s Cheshire County Annual Report to, retiring Cheshire County Department of Corrections Superintendent Richard N. Van Wickler. Mr. Van Wickler was recruited by the Board of Commissioners in June 1993 to assume responsibility for its County Jail which was in dire need of reorganization and effective supervision. Since the arrival and over the ensuing 27 years Superintendent Van Wickler, has focused his life work on advocating for those in his care within the walls of the correction facility. This is best stated by Cheshire County Commissioner Chuck Weed, Chair of the Board of Commissioners “Superintendent Van Wickler has been a leader is recognized not just local and state but on a national level, of creating a highly recognized and much emulated, non-coercive environment and culture at the Department of Corrections”. During his tenure a new state of the art correctional facility has been relocated to Keene NH, which has been studied by many to replicate. Superintendent Van Wickler in his role as Superintendent was known to study trends not just locally but on a national level, in doing so to preparing the correction facility for future needs, training and best practices. Because of Superintendent Van Wickler’s dedication Cheshire County Department of Corrections has led not just the state but nation in developing inmate programing and to ensure that each inmate’s therapeutic needs whether for mental health or addiction have been met. During his tenure Mr. Van Wickler retired from the United States Army Reserves (2006) and achieved many accomplishments bringing positive attention to the Cheshire County Department of Corrections. Among them he has Chaired the Board of an international law enforcement speaker’s bureau, been tasked as an observer to the United Nations in Geneva Austria on International Drug Policy (2012) and spoke to members of the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa Canada (2010), also on Drug policy reform. He has been featured in several film clips and documentary (Incarcerating US) highlighting the accomplishments of Cheshire Department of Corrections. Superintendent Van Wickler volunteers as a Board Member for several non-profit Boards and has been an adjunct instructor on the subject of American Corrections and Justice Studies for Keene State College and River Valley Community College.

He is the recipient of two Superintendents of the year awards and the Profile Service award from the NH Association of Counties. Though sadden by his retirement, the County is excited for his next chapter in life, and will always be grateful for the dedication, guidance and leadership he brought not just to the Department of Corrections but to the county. County Administrator Christopher Coates states it best “I have had the honor to work with a few extraordinary leaders in my lifetime and I would place Superintendent Rick Van Wickler in that category. In this day and age, it is rare to find an individual who embodies the skills, passion and personal characteristics that Rick possesses and has practiced for over 26 years. The Superintendent has demonstrated the strength and leadership throughout his tenue, to bring the Cheshire County Department of Corrections into a new era that has made the facility an example of best practices in field of corrections on a local, state and national level. For that Cheshire County will be forever grateful”.

  • Governor Sununu, We, the Undersigned
    Governor Sununu, We, the undersigned Democrats in the New Hampshire House, implore you to immediately issue a “stay-at-home” order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in New Hampshire. As our hospitals and the mayors of our largest cities have noted, every day that passes without a stay- at-home directive brings exponential growth to the health risks faced by Granite Staters, and unsustainable pressure on New Hampshire’s healthcare services which will lead to unnecessary loss of life. As you have acknowledged, we likely remain far from the peak of COVID-19 infections in New Hampshire. Many of us own or work at small businesses and understand that ordering non-essential businesses to close is a drastic step that will exacerbate the disruption COVID-19 has already brought to everyday life. However, as we have seen in other countries and other states, taking decisive action will slow the spread of the virus, save lives and allow our economy to rebound stronger and faster. The steps we have taken so far, which include telling people to keep their social gatherings to under 10 people, are simply not enough. Monday’s announcement of the first death from COVID-19 in New Hampshire emphasizes the urgency in our communities to take decisive steps to combat this deadly virus. Closing non- essential businesses and ordering people to stay at home are bold steps critical to that effort. Please join the states across America, including our neighbors Massachusetts and Vermont, that have taken these critical steps to slow the spread of COVID-19.

AFP-NH hopes that this Scorecard will aid you in your efforts to remain well informed regarding some of the key legislative activity that took place in Concord over this past year and its impact in lowering or increasing barriers to success and enhancing a free and open society. This year certainly saw a change in how the Legislature did business, in response to the pandemic. This led to fewer roll calls than in years past, especially in the State Senate. AFP-NH does not score every vote in the House or Senate. Rather, the focus of this Scorecard is to consider the most important votes cast in priority issue ares that impact our society, such as taxes and spending, health care, educational opportunity, worker freedom, regulation, free speech, property rights, ending cronyism, and having a criminal justice system that focuses on rehabilitation. This year, the Legislature had the opportunity to vote on important issues in these areas, which are laid out in the vote descriptions. Within this Scorecard you will find these votes that are essential to removing barriers to opportunity.
