MadgeTech wanted land where range now planned
Warner company may move if
shooting range approved
By RAY CARBONE
InterTown News Service
WARNER – A Sutton man’s
plan to build a $1.4-million indoor
shooting range and retail gun store
on Warner Road has won initial
approval from Warner planning officials, but it’s opposed by Norman
Carlson, founder and president of
MadgeTech, Inc., who says he will
move his high-tech firm out of town
if the project moves forward.
Carlson said MadgeTech, which
abuts the proposed project’s land,
does $10-million in annual sales
but he will move his 60-employee firm from its hometown if Eric
Miller’s proposal to construct two
buildings (connected by a breezeway) totaling 11,800 square-feet on
2.9 acres for a firearms operation
moves forward. Last year, Carlson tried to buy
the same land in a sealed bid process from the New Hampshire division of Forests and Land but his
bid fell just $100 short. The winning bid of $57,100 was entered by
Richard M. George of Webster and
Carlson believes that George was
somehow tipped off about his company’s $57,000 bid. George denies
the claim.
Miller said he retired at 50 but he
soon got bored and began thinking
about options.
“I began thinking what is it that’s
worth my time, that would be able
to draw in enough people for it to
be viable,” he recalled. “And I ended up concluding that this (shooting range and store) was a business
that I could draw people in from a
30-mile radius and pull in enough
people for it to be viable.”
The businessman said he deliberately chose the unusually shaped
lot near exit 7 on Interstate 89.
“I needed (the site) to be commercial zoned and with the least
amount of abutters,” he explained.
“A gun range is definitely a thing
that’s going to go thorough review
from (town) zoning, planning and
all that ... It would have been harder if it were next to a residential
area. That would have caused a lot
more confusion and panic by the
surrounding neighbors.”
Miller said the shooting range
would be a 9,400 square-foot structure with 16 lanes. The retail store
of 2,400 square feet would connect
via a breezeway. The range will be
built to double the noise standards
required by the Department of Energy. In addition, the Department of
Environmental Services’ air quality
standards call for an aggressive
HVAC system that eliminates any
lead produced by firearms from the
air before being released to the out-
doors.
Miller described his planned
range as an “educational facility”
that will cater to a growing group
of novices interested in shooting.
That’s one of the issues that most
concerns Carlson.
“You’ll have people getting in
and out of their vehicles with guns.
And he said he’s going to appeal to
novices so you’ll have people who
don’t know what they’re doing. We
have (employee) picnics outside
there not five feet from that property. There’s a residence right there, a
couple with two small children. Do
we really want that next to a residential home?”
Carlson said he’s for the Second
Amendment but he does not want
the shooting so close to his growing business. He said employees
have already raised concerns and
he’s prepared to do anything he can
to oppose the project, from exploring legal options to moving out of
town.
“Our company is 20 years old,”
he explained. “Everything we sell,
we make and design right here in
Warner. We do about $10-million in
annual sales. We have two devices
on the International Space Station.
Almost every biotech company in
the world uses our products. We
have an annual growth in Asia of 32
percent, in Europe of 22 percent.
Everyone here has health insurance, a 401K, profit sharing and all
kinds of benefits. And we’re working on a $3 million addition here for
office space and marketing.
“I hope they know what they’re
giving up here,” the MadgeTech
president said, referring to town
leaders. “It’s too bad, because there
are other towns I can move to,
places that will give me tax breaks.
Concord will give me tax credits to
move there. I don’t want to do that
but if they want to put a gun range
in there, they’re telling me they
don’t value this company. I won’t
stay around if Warner decides to
approve a gun range there.”
In early March, Miller won a
special exception from the town’s
zoning board of adjustment to operate the shooting range as an approved amusement and recreation
(indoor) facility. On March 24, the
town’s planning board was scheduled to review his building application but it delayed accepting the
application because Carlson filed a
request for a rehearing. The MadgeTech president said the town had
failed to notify two abutters - The

April 15. Richard Lee takes center stage at
New London Selectmen’s Meeting
By JOHN RABY
InterTown News Service
NEW LONDON – The official agenda for the April 10 meeting looked
modest, and the public portion of the
meeting itself sped by in 75 minutes
but a substantial amount of work
presented itself.
In her administrator’s report, Kim
Hallquist announced that public
works head Richard Lee will postpone his retirement until June 30,
2018. The selectmen were more than
happy to receive that news. Hallquist
will be drafting ads for Lee’s successor in the near future, as well as developing a written report mechanism
for town meetings.
Repairs to the Academy Building,
where the town offices and meeting rooms are, have been a frequent
topic of discussion. As was the case
at the March 20 meeting, they were
once again, with the selectmen asking Lee for his advice about what to
do with the building’s heating system
and roof.
All parties present agreed the heating system is the top priority. Lee
commented that at present, people
working in some rooms shiver while
those in other rooms broil. Since the
heating system is currently in the attic, it causes large amounts of snow
to melt rapidly from the roof, creating water leaks inside the building.
The general consensus is that the
heating system should be relocated
to the building’s second floor, with
separate units in each room and in
the adjoining hallway. Lee’s informal
estimate was that the job would cost
$30,000 to $35,000.
The selectmen also agreed that
any upgrading of the heating system
on the first floor can wait for now.
The ceiling will be insulated with
foam with air space left in the attic
so the roof can breathe. It will last
longer and minimize any water leaks
into the building from melting snow.
As far as repairs to the roof are
concerned, Lee said roofers would
be unwilling to warrant the life of
any new shingles unless the roof
were resheathed first, in which case
the job might cost $56,000. Lee said if
the selectmen chose to run a new water line from the building to the street
the work might cost $66,000.
The next question was whether the
town should have its own contractor
do the work or put contracts out to
bid. Selectman Janet Kidder asked if
the town contractor has done good
work in the past and Lee replied he
has. Consequently the selectmen
leaned toward retaining the town
contractor.
At the same time, all three selectmen were hesitant about moving
forward too rapidly on the basis of
the oral conversations that have occurred so far. Nancy Rollins recommended another consultation with
local architects Frank Anzalone and
Jeremy Bonin. Both she and William
Helm, chairman, asked Lee to submit
a written proposal that the selectmen
could discuss at the next meeting on
April 24.
Under old business, Kim Hallquist,
administrator, reported the town’s
insurance rates will increase 9.9
percent, under the 10.6 percent the
town had budgeted. The time of the
selectmen’s meeting with the country
commissioners was set for June 5,
8:30 a.m.
The selectmen acted rapidly on the
various appointments listed on the
agenda under new business. Police
chief Ed Andersen enthusiastically
recommended the appointment of
Ernest G. Rowe as a town detective,
which the selectmen confirmed by
a unanimous vote. They also voted
unanimously to reappoint the forest
fire wardens whom Jay Lyon, fire
chief, recommended, to approve the
proposed appointments to the Corridor Advisory Committee and to reappoint Helm to the Upper Valley Lake
Sunapee Regional Planning Commission. Helm abstained from that last
vote.

OK, I’m looking at the extended
weather and see 50s and 60s for the
next 10 to 15 days. That’s fine with
me. That’s a good temperature range
to do some yard work, planting in
the garden, turkey scouting and,
starting this Saturday, some trout
fishing. All trout waters in the state
are open to fishing on the fourth Saturday in April and this year it’s on
the April 22.
I love to be out on the water but I
also like knowing that I’m not going
to be bombarded with chores when
I get home because I’ve already
done them. And, with the specter of
another black fly hatch just around
the corner, it adds a degree of urgency to the list of projects. It’s such a
narrow window to start with, I hate
losing any time.

New Hampshire Fish and Game
turkey biologist Ted Walski predicts
a possible record harvest in the upcoming spring gobbler season which
runs Wednesday, May 3-31. The
youth turkey hunting weekend is set
for April 29-30.
According to Walski, wild turkeys
are doing well in New Hampshire
thanks to dry conditions last spring
and summer that contributed to an
above-average hatch, and a relatively easy winter for turkeys. Low total
snow cover meant there were significant periods of bare ground which
help turkeys move around more
easily and find good nutrition and
fat from acorns. Gobblers displaying
and fighting were common sights
throughout February and March.
Numerous flocks were observed,
some made up of 50 to 75 turkeys.
Statewide, New Hampshire is estimated to have approximately 40,000
turkeys. That’s about as many wild
turkeys as the land can support, or,
in biological terms, “the carrying capacity has probably been reached.”
Join turkey hunters Carter Heath
and Fred Bird for a special Turkey
Hunting 101 seminar, Wednesday,
April 19, 7 p.m., at the fish and game
headquarters on Hazen Drive in Concord. No pre-registration is necessary. New turkey hunters and those
looking to increase their knowledge
should attend. It’ll cover gear, decoys, scouting and calls.
A friend sent me pages of the Fish
and Game Commissioner’s Report
from 1930. Interesting reading! For
instance, in 1928-1929, over 75,000
fry and fingerling aureolus trout
were released into Lake Sunapee.
That’s Salvelinus aureolus like in the
Sunapee Golden Trout. Now I know
esteemed writer Jack Noon told us
that the Sunapee trout hasn’t plied
the depths of Soo-Nipi for decades.
So why then does the Silvio O. Conte
National Fish and Wildlife Refuge list
the Sunapee trout, good old Salvelinus aureolus as one of the fishes of
the Connecticut River Watershed? Is
there something I missed?

In 1905 there were many different manufacturers of automobiles
in the United States. The vehicles
weren’t very dependable and drivers hoped someday they would
be able to travel a few miles away
and return without a breakdown.
Seeing a driver tinkering with the
motor on the side of the road was a
common occurrence. Here are several of the latest models advertised
in the Scientific American:
The Orient Buckboard had a
four-horsepower motor, seated
two, and would travel at 35 miles
per hour. Advertised as climbing
the steepest hills, it sold for as little
as $375.
The Packard, Model N had a 28

purchased for $3,500. This car won
the grand prize at the World’s Fair

Wilmot Farmers Market – growing for you
WILMOT – A gathering of the best
of the area’s gardeners, farmers and
artisans are preparing to descend on
the Wilmot Town Green from 9 a.m.
to noon, the last Saturday of June and
every Saturday thereafter through
September.
The 2017 Wilmot Farmers Market vendors will be bringing locally made, grown and produced foods
and crafts from Alexandria, Andover,
Bristol, Danbury, Elkins, Springfield,
Sutton and Wilmot. Live music will
come from the band stand.
“In the shadow of the gazebo,
neighbors meet neighbors and strangers become friends,” Donna Sprague,
the market’s secretary wrote.
She said vendors greet their
customers and discuss the events
transpired since they last gathered.
Newcomers feel at home, asking
questions, supporting local businesses and get to know the people that
grow their food.
“Sound so quaint and ideal? Yes,
perhaps it does, but indeed it happens at the Wilmot Farmers Market,”
Sprague continued.
Still eight weeks away, preparations for the next Wilmot Farmers
Market are well underway.
Gardeners are polishing their green
thumbs. Meat producers are warming baby chicks under lights in their
kitchen or shed. Plants are starting.
Hens are searching to find the first
shoots of green grass or a crawling
bug that will make those farm fresh
egg yolks bright and tasty. Yarn is
being made into socks, mittens and
sweaters. Soap is pulled from its
molds and wrapped in beautiful calico. It is prepping and planting time.
The vendors take lessons learned
ALEAH BARKER gathers eggs on the lawn of the Brown Memorial
Library (BML) in Bradford during the annual Easter celebration.
The library thanks the Friends of the BML and the fourth grade
students who filled the eggs with candy.
New London Selectmen
It took more time to discuss
amendments to the selectmen’s rules
of procedure and possible installment of Welcome to New London
signs. It was agreed that agendas for
forthcoming select board meetings
be posted by noon on the Friday
before instead of on Thursday as at
present. Helm proposed the position
of select board vice-chairman be
abolished. The remaining selectmen
could agree on who should chair any
meeting when the chairman is absent.
Kidder reported that the planning
board unanimously backs the installment of Welcome to New London signs. Hallquist noted safety is
a concern, and that state approval is
needed if any signs are to be on state
roads. There was also some discussion of how large the signs should be.
All three selectmen asked Hallquist
to investigate what surrounding
towns have done.
In her committee report, Kidder
mentioned that Spring Ledge Farm
will be installing a movable shed behind its main building for use from
May to October. She asked what fee
the town would charge for accessory dwelling units, noting that a fee is
necessary before the town can issue
a permit. There will be no new tax assessments until 2018, and the town’s
tax officers will be attending a training session in Connecticut. The town
beaches will open for the summer on
Memorial Day weekend.
A vigorous debate followed when
Kidder turned to the subject of recreation commission activities and suggested a $4,500 appropriation to pay
for fabricating poles and netting at
the town’s ice rink. Helm and Rollins
were leery of the idea. Helm said it
would be wiser to find a new location
for the rink first before funding any
work. Kidder protested, pointing out
the recreation commission favored
the appropriation and had committed
to hire a contractor to do the work.
Rollins stated the existing ice rink
is too small for hockey and inquired
about having a separate hockey rink,
probably at the Outing Club. Kidder
said a separate hockey rink “is not in
the cards.” Lee wondered out loud if
there would be enough staff to cover
two rinks and pointed out two rinks
would involve additional maintenance work and costs. Finally, Helm
from last season and turn them into
improvements for the coming season.
“It is time to dust off your market
bags and get ready for your weekly trips to the Wilmot Town green,”
Sprague said.

wilmotfarmersmarket.com or call
Margaret at 744-2244.
requested Lee to submit a report
about the possible size and relocation of the rink closer to Gould Road
where flying hockey pucks would be
less of a hazard. All three selectmen
agreed to defer further discussion of
the ice rink until April 24.
Rollins’ report, which centered on
budget matters, had several questions about funding. She asked if
existing programs are paying their
way or losing money, especially the
summer camps. Hallquist reminded
the selectmen that the town customarily subsidizes local Halloween
and Easter programs. Rollins returned the discussion to the summer
camps, suggesting a nonprofit group
be organized to offer scholarships
to children whose families cannot
afford summer camp. Kidder said
the recreation commission already
discussed the question. They have
always found money to allow all children to attend. Helm suggested that
this conversation continue on April
24. Rollins added she would like to
discuss how the town beaches will
(Continued from Page 1)
be managed this summer.
Also in Hallquist’s report, further
discussions with the state are on
tap regarding safety problems at the
Crockett Corner intersection. The
state DOT review of town police use
of the New London Park and Ride
video is still pending. The employee
committee will meet to review personnel policy with suggestions from
Hallquist to follow. She received a
complaint about construction at 360
Lakeshore Drive, which she is addressing.
Hallquist said Colby-Sawyer College will host a president’s forum at
Lethbridge Lodge on April 26. The
new facilities at Pleasant Lake Dam
will have machinery to monitor lake
levels, and the selectmen, former
state representative David Kidder
and New London’s state lawmakers
will meet on April 24.
Full minutes of each meeting are
available on the town website, with
hard copy in the town office, along

Thoughts from the Bog
This week in the InterTown archives we are looking through the
last half of 1999.
The July 13 edition’s front page
had a story about a forest fire that
was battled atop Bald Sunapee in
Newbury. Officials thought the fire
was sparked by lightening and dry
conditions kept the region on alert.
The July 20 edition had a front
page story about Ledyard Bank
building in New London. Also,
more fires were put out in Newbury
and New London due to droughtlike conditions.
The Aug. 24 edition had a story
about the post office in North Sutton coordinating a special pictorial
cancellation during Farm Days at
Muster Field Farm.
Going into the fall the region sill
waited for rain with the fire danger
“high.” The dry conditions continued to be a threat.
The first edition of September had
a front page story about Kristine
West who was named Legion Auxiliary Vice President, a national post.
By Annette Vogel Capron
A photo and story later in the
same edition shows Sunapee
Lodge at Mount Sunapee Resort
during construction, getting ready
to open.
The Sept. 21 edition had a front
page story about the InterTown
being recognized for professional
excellence during the New Hampshire Press Association’s annual meeting and awards banquet.
Lorraine Edmunds accepted the
second-place award for advertising supplements, second place for
black and white local advertising
and third place for black and white
sponsorship page.
That week there was also coverage of damage caused by Tropical
Storm Floyd.
Wild Boar were causing destruction in early November, digging in
greens on the Lake Sunapee Country Club and Country Club of New
Hampshire, as well as Twin Lake
Villa.
The Nov. 16 edition of the InterTown introduced the Y2K-9 weekly
editorial commentary featuring the
Edmund’s dog “Bo.” The column is
now called K-9 Quotes by Probie,
who is our dog.
He got his name when we still
had our previous dog Jake. We are
big fans of the show, “NCIS” and
Probie is the nickname given to
the new guy. When he came along,
Probie was the obvious choice for
a name. It’s a joy to have him in our
lives and he has worked hard to fill
Jake’s shoes.

grams and staff, which in turn can
depress property values. Looking
at the number of students currently
home-schooled or in private school
in New Hampshire, it is estimated
that this bill could drain $86 million
from New Hampshire’s General Education fund. Furthermore, nowhere
in SB 193 can one find accountability requirements for private schools
who accept this money.
Our property taxes are already
high and have been going higher,
largely as a result of reduced state
funding to public schools through
the freeze in building aid, the elimination of the state contribution to
the state retirement system and a
reduction in catastrophic aid funding. These changes, all directed from
Concord, have pushed costs onto
school districts, directly leading to
increased property taxes.
Providing school choice in rural
districts like Kearsarge is especially
challenging and the one-solution-
fits-all attitude underlying SB 193
is contrary to the New Hampshire
concept of local control. Add to that
the risk that this bill will continue to
erode state financial support, and it
was clear to the Kearsarge District
School Board that this bill should be
opposed.
That is why the Kearsarge School
Board voted unanimously to register
its opposition to SB 193, as have the
Upper Valley school boards of the
Lebanon, Mascoma, Lyme and Dresden districts.
We urge you to contact your local
representative as well as the members of the house education committee and tell them that you don’t want
your local property taxes going up to
support private schools who aren’t
held accountable.

Oppose local property taxes going up to support
private schools not held accountable
To the Editor:
The New Hampshire Legislature
is currently considering Senate Bill
193 that would allow the use of taxpayer money to fund private schooling or home schooling. This is really
a school tax bill, not a school choice
bill as claimed by its supporters. SB
193 would allow parents who wish
to home school or send their children to private school to create an
education freedom savings account
into which the state could deposit
up to 90 percent of adequacy aid.
Adequacy aid is funding the state
currently provides to public school
districts to meet the state obligation
of providing an adequate education
to students. If state funding that
would normally go to public schools
is redirected to so-called “freedom
savings accounts,” the only way to
make up that funding is through
increased local taxation. Absent
that, public school districts, already
strapped for funds, have to cut pro-

Scouting is a fun and hands-on experience
To the Editor:
Boy Scouts of America is the
only active-participation, youthbased, and most importantly,
youth-led program focused on
character-building and leadership
development. As one of our adult
leader is fond of saying nobody
joins scouts to have their character
built, they join to build camp fires,
hike, camp, canoe, etc.
Troop 71 New London was
founded in 1914 and is one of the
oldest Boy Scout Troops in the
area. I joined Scouts when I was 7
years old and have been fortunate
to be part of a thriving and exciting organization. I am currently in
the 8th grade and am working on
Communications Merit Badge on
my way to Life Scout and ultimately Eagle Scout.
Our Troop is home to boys
from the Upper Valley to the Kearsarge-Mount Sunapee region.
Some common misperceptions
about scouting include the ideas
that one needs to join as a Cub
Scout and is restricted to the town
one lives. A boy is welcome to join
scouts at any time and join a
troop nearby if there is not one
active in their town or district. The
only restriction is that a boy can
only be a Boy Scout until the age
of 18.
The 12 core values of the Scouting program are personified in the
Scout Law: A Scout is trustworthy,
loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous,
kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean and reverent. Scouting is not all about advancement
and lectures about leadership. It is
a fun and exciting hands-on experience with opportunities to meet
new people and learn new things.
Many people don’t realize Scouting is incredibly flexible. A Scout
can commit as much or as little
time as he likes. The program is
year-round but a Scout can easily fit
Scouting in with other activities. A
Scout can go on one or many campouts a year. A Scout can be unconcerned with advancement or he can
go all-in and work his way to Eagle
Scout, the highest rank in Scouting.
Troop 71 meets on Wednesday
nights at the First Baptist Church
in New London at 7 p.m. If you
would like to learn more come to
a meeting or check out our website

Islam is our enemy
To the Editor:
Islam is the enemy of all who are
not Muslim. They will give you a
few choices. 1. Become a Muslim.
2. Pay a tax to Islam for living in a
Muslim land (Yes, it’s here in USA,
too). 3. Killed or become a slave
of Islam, your last choice. 4. Fight
them before they kill you and your
loved ones!
They have been taking over
countries the same way for over
one thousand years.
Send in the immigrants, the poor
people who have been driven out
of their countries by the violence.
(Bullshit). They are the first wave
of the invaders.
These refugees/immigrants set
it up for the next wave. These first
refugees are generally peaceful but
they will not assimilate into our culture and insist you assimilate into
their culture.
Oh, yeah, they have four wives
so they are pooping out kids like
a pig on Ex-lax. They train them to
hate the west from birth. They are
producing at four times as many
children as most any other citizen
of the country they are taking over.
Does not take a freaking rocket
scientist to figure it out.
Within a generation they will
overpopulate any people who allows them into their country.
Islam is a disease, a social cancer
that destroys entire civilizations.
The Coptic Christians are a perfect
example as are the Jewish people.
Islam is not a religion as many
would have you believe, it is an ideology with religious aspects! If you
are not a Muslim, they are not your

What do you think?
By PHYLLIS TILSON PIOTROW
Coal versus culture
I love those Adventures in Learning (AIL) courses that are always
interesting, usually educational and
often entertaining. I was hugely entertained this snowy winter in a Monty Python program offered by Les
Norman. One especially roguish film
offered a politically incorrect song
that keeps going through my head.
When I heard the president’s call for
“more coal, clean coal,” I could not
resist paraphrasing that catchy tune
to describe the president’s coal mine
policies:
“Every mine is sacred.
Every mine is great.
Any coal mine closing
Will make Trump irate.
Every mine is sacred.
Every mine is good.
We need even more mines
In our neighborhood.”
So it seemed when the president
welcomed a lineup of coal miners
while his 2018 budget emasculated
environmental protection, regional
development projects and totally
wiped out federal contributions to
arts and culture. Coal versus culture,
and coal seems to win.
There are approximately 75,000
coal miners in the U.S. today, many
of them in politically key states like
West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and
Pennsylvania. But coal miners’ jobs
have been declining for decades
while at the same time renewable energy jobs in solar, wind and nuclear
power have been increasing to about
650,000 now.
Nevertheless, the president promotes coal while totally eliminating support for important national
cultural programs like the National
Endowment for the Arts ($148 million), the National Endowment for
the Humanities ($148 million), the
Institute for Museum and Library
Services ($230 million) and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
($445 million). (Those cuts, amounting to about $971 million or half of
1 percent of the total budget can be
compared with increases of about
$57 billion – yes, billion— proposed
for the military budget.)
Overall, about five million workers
in U.S. arts and culture activities add
about $340 billion to payrolls. In New
Hampshire alone nonprofit arts and
culture organizations contribute over
$50 million annually to our economy
and provide at least 10,000 jobs directly and many more indirectly.
There is a major irony in the cuts
for these and many other programs,
including those of the Environmental Protection Agency. Much of that
funding is not spent in Washington
drawing up new regulations but is
spent in grants to local governments
or agencies throughout the country.
It supports local programs and jobs
for schools, libraries, museums, hospitals, police, fire departments, research institutions, roads, clean air
and water facilities, waterways, food
safety, regional development -- you
name it -- plus expert assistance of
all kinds.
Major cuts in these domestic programs will mean major cuts in state
and city budgets including very popular community programs. Or it will
mean much higher state taxes. In
New Hampshire, for example, twothirds of the state budget is funded
by the federal government (Medicaid
and many, many grants).
Why is coal sacred while community activities where people work
together to improve the quality of
life are sacrificed? Wholly apart from
health issues, which are, of course,
the main reason not to promote
coal, the culture of our democracy
depends on public and private partnerships, national as well as local. In
the U.S., federal government support
is crucial today as it always has been
ever since the federal government
bought public land and gave it to railroads, homesteaders and land grant
colleges to develop the West and,
more recently, built the toll-free interstate highway system.
I am sympathetic to 75,000 coal
miners who may eventually lose
those well-paid but very unhealthy
jobs, just as I was to the thousands
of New England textile workers who
lost their jobs to southern states in
the 1950s and 1960s. We can do much
more to help all workers adjust to
new needs and technologies. But in
the long run, which is more important, our culture and values or coal
mines?
What do you think?
A view from
the woods
By JOHN RABY
This year’s winter looked pretty normal compared to 2015-16.
There was consistent snow, which
kept falling through March, and it
stayed on the ground most of the
time despite an oddly warm stretch
in February. The ski resorts were
glad of the snow, and the forecast
for early and mid-April promised
plenty of precipitation of the varied sorts that is familiar to the end
of winter around here. The ponds
and lakes kept most of their ice
cover well into April, too. When
the weather was warm enough, the
streams were full and flowing, so
maybe last year’s drought, which
has been relieved somewhat, is finally ending.
The trees around here appear
to have budded at their usual pace
with the pussy willow visible in
mid-March. Spring seems to be
starting nicely, too, and people
were happy to see it. Last week,
there was a great thaw. The streams
kept flowing, the culverts were
singing, the migratory birds were
back and the waters ran clear. It’s
only natural to think that we live in
an especially favored region and to
hope we might escape the worst of
global warming. Maybe things will
go right after all.
Be careful, though. That warm
spell in February was unusual, and
around the world, the last three
years have been the warmest on record. The warm days at the start of
last week had their effect, and by
Wednesday, the ice on both Pleasant and Little Sunapee lakes had
softened and was well into retreat.
Taken as a whole, the northeast
remains in the grip of a drought
that goes back to 2013 and farmers
around here are wary of its continuation. Out west, California’s eightyear dry spell has been followed by
enormous rains and the collapse
of the Oroville Dam, which has affected the watershed all the way
downstream to San Francisco Bay.
In the south and on the southern
plains, the hard storms and tornadoes that historically have struck
in March and April began in January and came more often. The city
government in Miami Beach has
been taking unprecedented steps
to keep the ocean out and to protect the local resorts that are the
foundation of the city’s economy.
At the Hampton Roads naval complex, the sea level has risen 15 inches over the past hundred years, and
Islam letter
friends no matter how they act towards you. It’s all an act! It’s quite
clear in their Koran if you merely
take the time to read it.
The Coptics are all but wiped out
of existence in Africa and Egypt.
They are being murdered by Islam.
They would love to do this to the
Jewish people as well and will if
given the chance. That is genocide!
No, there is no such thing as a
good Muslim. They all hate Jews
and Christians and wish for them
to become extinct/genocide, and if
they try to convince you that is not
the causeway from the mainland
floods regularly at high tide. The
U.S. Navy is worried, predicts that
if nothing is done, the base will be
underwater in 20 years, and is trying to convince the Trump administration that climate change is a
genuine national security issue.
Further north, the trees at the
White House leafed out in early
March, and were then hit with a
hard frost two weeks later. At the
same time, our state legislature
granted dairy farmers $2,000,000
in relief against the vagaries of the
climate, while admitting that it was
far too little to make those farmers
whole. It looks like there’s good
reason for a climate march on April
29.
Meanwhile, our children are
running out of patience with all
that. Many of them are convinced
that global warming is due chiefly
to our own carelessness and neglect. Quite understandably, they
see themselves as the ones who
will suffer worst and longest, and
they resent it. Last year, a group
of young people filed a federal
lawsuit, naming President Obama
as the most prominent defendant.
With January’s change in government, President Trump is now
the defendant in chief. The suit is
moving forward through the federal court system and may reach the
Supreme Court.
The youngest of the plaintiffs is 9
years old. He lives on an island off
the Florida coast. He remembers
playing on its beach when he was
little but rising seas have washed
the beach away.
He can no longer swim in the
nearby ocean because the algae
blooms have made the water too
foul and unhealthy. He wishes that
he and his friends could play there
again but he watches the rising waters and believes that in a matter of
years, his home will wash away.
More lawsuits like his may follow, and it looks now that the bill
is in and we shall all somehow pay
a price. For further details on the
children’s lawsuit, check out Our
Children’s Trust.
(Continued from Page 6)
true, you really need to sit down
and have a good look at their Koran, the Hadiths, and their Surra.
Those are tough reads but they
are necessary.
Again, Islam is the enemy. You
can call them Isis, Isil, Boko haram,
Al-Qaeda and over one hundred
other names but they are all Islam.
Cut the head off the snake and
stop messing with the tentacles!
Wake up people...

Sutton Neighbors
by Neighborhood Correspondent Judy Lowe • [email protected]
Recently I came across another vintage picture of the village of
North Sutton. I found it interesting
for several reasons. For example,
it appears that the road in the foreground is Route 114 but 114 actually
runs parallel to it in front of the Call
house and across the street from
the McMahon house. Behind that
house you can see through the trees
a large brown building. That was the
boathouse to the Follansbee Inn. It
blew down during the 1938 hurricane, so one clue is that this picture
was taken previous to that year.
Across from the boathouse by the
lake, you can see part of the old oneroom school house that sat behind
the lakeside Follansbee Inn. If you
look closely in the upper left corner of the card, you will see in-between two large pine trees, a white
two-story building. That was the annex to the Huntoon House.
I blew up this photo on my computer and I could see a part of the
main building of the old Huntoon
House. That hotel burned down
in 1941. Over to the left of that on
the hill you can see a large brown
house. At one time that belonged to
Rod Seymour who was the manager
of the Huntoon House. That house
is still there but you can see how the
trees have now filled in obscuring
the view. If anybody can shed light
on when this picture may have been
taken, I would be interested in hearing about it.

silent is the snow
as it rests upon the ground
waiting for the sun
to melt it into sound
running rivulets through the meadows
meeting others making streams
flowing to the ocean
to meet again the beams of sunlight
that will heat it
and turn it into gas
and carry it again
to the summit and the pass
and when it meets the colder air
it forms droplets in the sky
falling to the seasons
surface slowly turning by

April Angst
Like a careless lover
April drifts from season
to season, arriving with snow
on her shoulders and eyelashes
but ready to flirt
with any sixty-degree day
that comes along.
One week writing our names
in the mud, the next
leaving her goodbyes
on rime-covered crocuses.
No longer wedded to cold
but never quite ready
to engage with warmth,
wavering on the date
for ice out, and unwilling
to promise herself to spring.
What is it about winter
that April can’t let go?
A Slice of April Anxiety
Tomatoes, lettuce, basil and FROST,
oh no, I’m starting to worry.
The snow is melting and my thoughts wander,
time is short and I think I am ill.
I must have April anxiety.
The snow is blinding me, what should I do?
It’s too early to plant, I won’t make that error.
Last year I grew inward resorting to grow lights,
then covers and coddling my sprouts.
A week goes by when I succumb
to the charms of “White Flower Farm.”
A new hydrangea, a self -watering pot,
tomatoes that refuse to quit.
I’m a sucker, but I’m happy
as I smile at my seed trays.
I’m planning to plant next week.

Spring Comes to New Hampshire
A slim slice of April anxiety
creates frowns on my potted pansies’ petals
and chagrin from my recently planted peas.
But I call home this schizophrenic
thermometer rollercoaster, happy
to see seasons mingle and marry.
Under this late April snow they reprimand me
for believing in the Farmer’s Almanac
and trusting New Hampshire’s fickle weather.
Spring loves winter so madly they refuse
to part until black flies arrive to tear them apart.
Then gladly indoors I go until the peepers sing.
Lured by sixty-two degrees and climbing,
the warm soft earth in my hands, in fortyeight hours it’s frozen, zero degrees not my plan.
As we all know summer is just a flirt,
tickling us with her short-short skirt.

The Easter Egg Hunt
Click-clack, click-clack, click-clack
It’s me, in my brand-new Mary Janes!
All shiny, pretty, Easter fresh, they speed me on my way
Running down the driveway, I’m really on the hunt
To get that bright pink Easter egg
Way down there by the swings!
My focus all-consuming, can’t lose my Easter basket
A rainbow carnage follows me, as my jelly beans go flying
These Mary Janes aren’t made for hunting, but what am I to do?
Crackle-crunch, crackle-crunch, crackle-crunch
My starched white lacy crinoline beneath my pastel Easter dress
Gives warning to the other kids of my impending hunt’s success
I must descend upon that egg, the other kids can’t get it
But darn, my cover’s blown, and now they all come running
Bonneted, basketed hunters are quickly gaining ground
I ditch my Mary Janes and hike up my Easter dress
Perform an airborne dive like I’m sliding into second
A slight head bang on a bright red swing, mud springs up to meet me
I pop up, I’m victorious, pink Easter egg in hand
My crinoline a bit less crunchy, my Mary Janes are lost
But I got my big pink Easter egg, and now it’s time to eat it!

Magician
He is a master of disguise
as he engulfs the waiting hills
within the midnight folds of his
vast cape,
concealing light and color in gray veils
that pull the wooly mists over our eyes.
He be-clouds our minds with spells
of frozen rain, late blizzards,
the insistent drizzle of his icy breath
and we are powerless before such
sorcery.
Then, with sleight-of hand so deft
we hardly note the moment
he says the magic word
changing Kansas into Oz—
and from his hat come tumbling
acrobats of pink-eyed rabbits, spilling
out
through saffron fields of dandelions,
painted songbirds flowing
from his sleeves in spirals
soaring to blue heaven.
As we begin to breathe again,
his fingers, as finale, fill with apple
blooms
as with his sunlight hand
paints April’s world with rainbows
for no reason but our wonder.

TAX TIME FROM
A TO Z
A slim slice of April anxiety
bombards me beginning February.
Countless tax forms continue to clutter
my desk and once dedicated dining zone.
Eating now evolves into the kitchen.
First and foremost, don’t lose a single file.
Go get every receipt given to you,
however hopeless the task may appear.
Or, instead, incite interest in
justifiable juvenile jokes,
keeping IRS karma knotted in
laughable literary limericks.
“Money matters to Mommy and me.
A nice noble note to the treasury,
once opened for all the T men to see,
provides a penalty for every unpaid penny.”
Quite silly and quickly quarantined
to rubbish, it readily releases
some satisfying symbolism.
Tax toll, one cent unpaid, taken as a threat,
useless and unable to assuage our debt.
Virtually visible, vindictive,
withholding of funds will wilt the budget.
Extraneous extras will exit.
Yesterday’s rates will yellow with age.
Zero in now, zealots, let’s protest with zest.

Asparagus Salad with
Reduced Balsamic Vinaigrette
If the calendar says spring, then it’s time for asparagus,
lots of asparagus. Enjoy!
(Serves 8)
2-3 pounds asparagus, trimmed
6-8 ounces arugula
1-2 scallions, thinly sliced
Reduced Balsamic Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the asparagus and cook
until tender crisp and bright green, 2-3 minutes. Drain and immediately drop the asparagus into the ice water to cool. Drain again and pat
dry.
Put the arugula and scallions in a large bowl, drizzle sparingly with
vinaigrette and toss to lightly coat.
To serve: arrange the arugula on a large serving platter or individual
plates and top with asparagus. Drizzle the asparagus with a little vinaigrette, garnish with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano and sprinkle with
pine nuts.
Reduced Balsamic Vinaigrette
(Makes about 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon or to taste honey
1/2 cup or to taste extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Put the vinegar in small, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil the over
medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until reduced by
half. Stir in the shallot, garlic and thyme, remove from the heat and
cool to room temperature.
Using a rubber spatula to press on the solids, strain the vinegar
through a sieve into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk
in the mustard and honey. Slowly add and the olive oil and continue
whisking until thick and well combined.
Cover and store extra vinaigrette in the refrigerator.

Taking a Tax Holiday
by Susan Nye
You’ve probably figured it out by
now. The harrowing reckoning of
April 15, Tax Day, has been postponed. Well, postponed until April
18. So, if you’re reading this and haven’t filed, stop it and get to work. The
time is now if you are a last-minute
filer.
For years, I was among the legions
of last minuters. I don’t know about
you but I find it difficult to get motivated. First, it takes a bit of effort
to pull everything together: Locating
old check stubs, combing through
credit card bills and searching for
thank you letters from charitable
organizations. None of it is difficult
work; it’s just boring and time consuming.
It doesn’t get any better once you
find everything. Mind you, I’m not
one of those people who find pleasure in filling out forms. In case you
are wondering, yes, I use one of
those software packages that guides
me through it. It doesn’t matter, I always worry that I will sneeze, inadvertently click continue and miss an
important question. If not that, then
I’m sure I’ll somehow misinterpret
something. Every year, after countless reviews, I take a deep breath and
hit send. Luckily, it’s been so far so
good.
Now, I admit it, I was tempted by
the extended deadline. I could have,
would have gladly left it for the final
weekend. Heck, I’ve been known to
take Tax Day off. No, not because
I wanted to but because I had to!
Before I filed electronically, I knew
which post offices closed at six and
which ones stayed open until mid-
night. That said; I hit send surprisingly early this year. In fact, my return
jumped on the cyber highway and
winged its way to Washington two
whole weeks ago. I’m not sure but I
think that may be a record for me.
Record or no, there is a payoff.
Thanks to direct deposit, my refund
is already in the bank. How about
that for motivation? So, if you are
frantically filling out forms today, or
did so over the weekend, consider
this … twelve months from now, instead of pulling your hair out, shuffling through a bunch of papers and
filling in forms, you could be celebrating with your refund.
Now I know that each and every
financial advisor out there is going
to yell and shout and tell you the last
thing you should do is blow your refund on a vacation or a party. They
will offer much more practical advice. They will suggest you invest in
a 529 college fund for your kids or
grandkids, put it in your IRA or start
an emergency fund. Responsible people don’t think you should fly to Bermuda or buy diamond earrings, especially if the cost of the trip or jewelry
is more than your refund.
Alright then, how about a compromise? Forget Bermuda, drive to the
coast for a walk on a sunny beach
and have lunch at a favorite clam
shack. I spent my first 10 summers
on the Cape and I make a habit of
having fried clams once a year. Instead of diamonds, visit a craft shop,
the one with the amazing local artists. Treat yourself to a truly special
pair of earrings, a gorgeous ceramic
bowl or a fabulous scarf. Indulge in
the kind of treasure that you will be
proud to own not for a day or two but
a lifetime.
As for me? What did I do with my
refund? Okay, I confess. I went to
Florida. But heck, I’m not a financial
advisor. I don’t even play one on television.
Bon appétit!

NEW LONDON – Mary Joyce
Shaw Norris Ayers died after a period of declining health in Sarasota,
Fla., on April 2, 2017. Born in Holyoke, Mass., on August 5, 1926, she
was the oldest of the five children
of James P. and Mary Brady Joyce.
Mary was a graduate of Holyoke
High School and Bay Path College.
She married Joseph W. Shaw III
in 1949. They raised two children
while residing in Holyoke and summering on Lake Sunapee in New
London.
Mary was predeceased by her
husband, Joseph, in 1976. She then
married Frank T. Norris and they
enjoyed 17 years together residing
in Sarasota during the winter. After
Frank’s death in 1992, Mary continued to spend winters in Florida,
where she met Billy V. Ayers. Mary
and Billy were married in 1998 and
spent a good part of their 12 years
together traveling the world. Mary
and her family were blessed by
each of her wonderful husbands.
Those who knew Mary will remember her for her vibrant Irish
personality, her flair for fashion
and decorating, her enjoyment of
the finer things in life as well as bargain hunting, and most of all for the
love she gave to her family. Her sister Ruth Joyce and her
brother and sister-in law, James
and Elisabeth Joyce predeceased
her as did her daughter-in-law Ginger Cross Shaw.
Mary leaves behind her daughter Carolyn (John) Dietel; her son
Joseph W. (Jane) Shaw IV and
grandchildren: Mary Elisabeth
(Thomas) Nunez; Robert J. (Clara)
Mary Ayers
Dietel; Joseph W. Shaw V and William B. Shaw. She also leaves three
great-grandchildren: Thomas J.
Nunez; William R. Dietel and Katherine J. Dietel as well as her sister
Constance Dalton; brother William
Joyce and 16 nieces and nephews. A Mass of Christian Burial will
be held on April 22, 11 a.m., at Our
Lady of Fatima in New London followed by a burial in Elkins. Mary and her husband Joe considered the Lake Sunapee region
their true home and it is fitting that
she will return to a place where
most of her immediate family still
reside.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The
Glenridge Team Member Emergency Assistance Fund, The Frances
Perkins Scholarship Fund at Mount
Holyoke College or a charity of
one’s choice.

Different Versions of the Obituary
Probably most everyone is aware that obituaries cost money in most
newspapers. Some of the local weekly or monthly papers still offer it as a
service such as The Intertown Record, the Andover Beacon and the Bradford
Bridge. One thing that could be done is to write a longer obituary which could
be placed on our website either at Chadwick Funeral Service or Newton-Bartlett
Funeral Home and then place a shorter obituary in the newspaper. That way
it wouldn’t cost as much and perhaps more personal information could be
added for the website. Another option would be to write a longer version for
the memorial folder which is printed and distributed at the service or gathering
and could also be sent in the mail to folks who couldn’t attend. Please give us
a call at 526-6442 or 863-2113 and we could discuss the options with you.

By SARA MAREAN
Pastor, First Congregational
Church of Wilmot, UCC
This fall we began our church year
by naming the places we felt joy; the
places we have experienced God
calling to us. We wrote them down
on pieces of blue cloth and stitched
them together making a river of gladness. That has been our theme for the
year, one that we have come back to
from time to time. But all too often it
has been forgotten, not least of all by
myself. In a depressing news cycle of
horrifying events, I too can become
bogged down in the mire of pain and
sadness. Sometimes it can even feel
callous or indifferent to the suffering
around us for us to feel and express
joy.
But as the new season of spring
approaches, we are called, urged, to
feel joy. This expression of joy, not a
denial of the suffering in the world or
even of the evil that exists, for gladness, joy, perhaps as opposed to happiness, is not naïve. It knows there is
suffering, it has seen and experienced
and known that sorrow. Joy believes
in resurrection, in the promise that
life continues to grow, to flower, to be
part of things, even when that is difficult, even in the face of death.
I have found this to be an integral
part of my faith throughout my career. In ministry we are often called to
be present at the most painful and dif-
ficult times in people’s lives. I won’t
lie, this is not easy. There is a temptation, perhaps a need, to have the right
words, the right things to say to make
a situation bearable, or maybe even to
make ourselves feel like we’re doing
something right. But so often there
simply are not words, there is nothing
to say. And, besides, as many of my
colleagues have reminded me, that is
not the point. The point is simply to
be there, to show up, to be present,
to not shy away from what is before
us but to sit with an open heart with
the one who is before you. And that is
true for both tremendous sadness as
well as tremendous joy.
As human beings each of us is
called to do this -- to show up, to be
present and not just as empty shells
with our hearts and minds somewhere else. We are called to open
ourselves to both the beauty and the
pain, to see the one in the other. This
is resurrection. We’re not called to be
perfect, to have the answers or the
words or to do everything right. We’re
just called to be here, to be where we
are, when we’re there. We are called
to have soft and open and malleable
hearts to the joy, to the suffering, to
the resurrection that is around us.
Some might even say, we’re called
to have hearts of mud, hearts pliable
enough so that the green spears of
summer grass can push through and
into the light.

Purchasing potted
plants out of season
I had great fun learning about the
current flower garden at my new
home and expanding the gardens
with new purchases throughout last
spring and summer. In the fall, I rescued a couple of geraniums from
their outdoor flower boxes to winter inside. I appreciated the break
from gardening during early winter
to work on other projects but by December I missed tending to plants
and seeing bright beautiful flowers.
The geraniums still had their green,
however, I wanted color!
I made occasional trips to the local Agway throughout the winter
to purchase a few potted plants on
sale (which I’ve been writing about).
What started out as a few plants became more as I realized plants could
live in this house. (I wasn’t sure because this house gets less light than
my last home.)
I also picked up some tips on
what to look for when finding those
bargains in the nurseries. Flowers
may be still blooming and the plants
healthy-looking in the store but what
happens once you get them home?
The number one rule is to not buy
annuals. They are already past their
season.
Most potted plans when purchased
while catching those end-of season
sales have been in their pots for some
time and may pot-bound at that point.
That means the roots are cramped
and could be stunted. Check the
roots by gently pulling the plant out
of the pot. The roots should be a
healthy light color. If they are moldy,
rotten, black or the roots are stunted,
avoid the purchase.
Don’t take the chance of bringing
an unhealthy plant home to infect
other plants. Make sure the plant
doesn’t look diseased. Check the
leaves for spots, yellowing or withered edges and look at the stems or
bark for injuries. It the main stem or
trunk is misshapen or broken, then
its structure is damaged and it probably won’t recover. That said, perennials can often be trimmed close to
the ground and will be OK as they
regrow.
Purchasing plants on sale at this
time of year means they are ones normally planted outside in the fall like
hyacinth, tulips, daffodils and crocus. Fall planting allows for spring
blooming.
This opened up a new round of research in how to keep them healthy
inside until planting time in May.
Mine have already bloomed for this
year. I cut back the spent flower
stalks but left the leaves which continue to gather nutrients to store in
the bulbs for next year’s blooming.
(Tulips may take a couple of years
before re-blooming.) The leaves remained green for a while and now
look ugly.
Once the leaves have turned completely yellow or brown and pull
away, then trim them. Check the
bulbs to make sure they are firm and
don’t smell rotten. Also, move the
pots out of sunny locations. Plant the
bulbs outside when other tulips, daffodils and crocus are coming up.
I’ve read so many different websites and comments on this subject
and I’m still not confident as there
doesn’t seem to be any one sure way.
I guess this means it’s up to each
one to find out what works for their
plants. I’m trying to do my best.
(Sasha Wolfe is a novice gardener and spends time perusing websites, reading reference books and
talking to others who garden. She
takes the information gathered
and is slowly putting together a
garden manual of all the plants on
her property, inside and out.)

A scuba diving friend who is a
fabulous fisherman stopped and
asked if we wanted a salmon he
had just caught. Did I ever! It is a
beauty, five pounds and 22 1/2 inches long. I wondered why he didn’t
want to take it home but he insisted they prefer perch. We took it to
the Tackle Shack to show Dale and
Craig and they said it was the biggest salmon so far this spring. He
is good and fat and that made them
feel good, too. It indicates there are
enough smelt in the lake to make
the bigger fish fat. He is all cleaned,
salted, wrapped in aluminum foil
ready to go into the oven for dinner
tonight and several meals beyond
that. Yum.

InterTown record – Tuesday, April 18, 2017
New London Neighbors
by Neighborhood Correspondent Dianne Chadwick • [email protected]
The cone of shame is in place.
Poor Murphy has been neutered
and I think between the two of us
we will both go insane while he has
to wear it. He’s walking into walls,
bumping into people (including
customers at the shop), scooping
up dirt and dog poop with it, struggling to eat and drink, desperately
trying to chew toys without them
falling into the depths of the cone
and madly shaking his head trying
to wiggle the lamp shade off.
My stress comes from watching
him and being unable to relieve his
angst. And I think I have a little bit
of guilt from giggling at his efforts
to navigate the world with an attachment that expanded his head
girth by a foot. I am taken back to
about a year ago when Marcus was
fixed and I had to be careful walking with a cane after my hip replacement. He would nearly knock
me down the stairs and I lived in
fear of him getting too close, taking me out and sending me back to
the operating room. Thankfully this
time I’m only worried about being
bumped in the behind.
Marcus seems to be secretly
gloating. He doesn’t have to work
as hard to win the toy battle and
he has a break from Murphy trying
to climb on top of him. They have
what appears to be a classic human
big brother-little brother relationship. I think Marky is getting used
to him, though, and hopefully this
spring will bring them closer as
playmates.
We have to get out and take a
lot more walks; a lot more. I was
told this week that Marcus is overweight and needs to drop at least
eight pounds. Gulp! I knew he was
solid but I hadn’t really considered
him fat. Talk about guilt! So now he
is on a weight loss diet and we have
to step up his exercise, which won’t
be a problem now that I won’t
freeze to death walking.
I also found out that Alice the kitty is a bit portly too. I feed both cats
the same but Alice is the one I find
sneaking dog food on the sly and I
think she eats more of her share of
the cat food. She’s also a lot more
relaxed than Rodney, our other kitty who is a lean, mean fighting machine. If they were human Rodney
would be the fitness freak and Alice
would be the Netflix and chill girl.
I’m not sure how much of that we
can change but at least with warmer months she’s moving more chasing bugs and other critters. What
all this means for me and Brian is
that this spring you may see us out
on some extra walks with the dogs,
and don’t be shocked if you see a
kitty in tow.

Birds, birds and more birds.
They all arrived within a couple
days of each other. The two loons
were spotted on the small amount
of open water on Lake Kolelemook
as well as Canada geese. The bobolinks are trying to find nesting
grounds in the hayfield next door.
And, I have had reports of yellow
and purple finches as well. They
sound so pretty when they sing and
now that we can be outdoors more
we can enjoy them for longer periods of time. The warmer weather
came just in the nick of time for my

us. Time has been spent cleaning
the evaporator, which entails simmering an acid solution in the front
pans to remove the scaling and deposits that occur. After that lengthy
process, the pans are taken outside
to be power washed to remove the
soot from under the pans and the
insides of the pans are given a final
rinse. Then the storage tanks have
to be power washed as well.

InterTown record – Tuesday, April 18, 2017
Fun & Games
Weekly Horoscopes
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Initiating change
can turn out well if you have done your homework and know where you are heading. Don’t
make a move under pressure; do it because
you want to. Emotions will cloud your vision
when dealing with work-related problems.
Don’t share personal information or give
anyone insight into your career objectives.
Call on someone who can offer suggestions
or help you gain insight or knowledge about
an interest you want to pursue. Be careful
who you trust. You are best to get along with
everyone and observe and listen rather than
provide the entertainment and information.
Personal improvements are encouraged.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Find out all you
can regarding agencies, institutions or corporations you plan to do business with. Make
sure you have your personal paperwork in
order and your questions ready. Take an energetic approach to life. Explore professional
possibilities, and consider ways you can raise
your income or make your money stretch
further. Don’t reveal your feelings. Someone
will play on your vulnerability if you disclose
information that makes you appear weak.
Protect your possessions and your heart from
someone manipulative. Offer to help someone in need. Standing up for those less fortunate or donating to a cause will make you
feel good.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Willingness to
compromise will help you avoid a run-in with
someone you are in a partnership with. Don’t
claim to know everything, and don’t share
your true feelings. You’ll do well if you get involved in a campaign aimed to help a cause
or concern you feel strongly about. Your contribution will be welcome and encourage you
to make new acquaintances. Live and learn.
Ask questions and stay well-informed when
dealing with situations that are clouded with
evasive hearsay with little backup. Listen
carefully and make adjustments based on
facts. You’ll have trouble deciphering truth
from fiction. Avoid getting involved in or
spreading rumors.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t worry so
much about what others think. Follow your
heart, and do what comes naturally. It’s OK to
do things differently. Share what you know,
and work as a team player. What you contribute will help you differentiate you from
followers. Step up and offer your skills and
experience. Expect to face controversy when
dealing with financial issues, donations and
offering help. It’s OK to be a do-gooder, but
don’t let anyone take advantage of you. Set
parameters to establish your position. Get involved in creative pursuits or sign up for a retreat or lecture that will ease stress and help
you make positive lifestyle changes.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Shoot for the stars.
Mingling with people who share your interests or work in your industry will lead to opportunities. Your desire to keep moving and
to bring about change will be met with opposition or emotional pressure. Listen to reason. An offer isn’t likely to be as wonderful as
you are led to believe. Problems will surface
if you are gullible or let your emotions get in
the way of reason. Protect your position and
refrain from getting into a disagreement that
could influence your future. Take better care
of your health. Problems due to minor illness
or injury will stifle your plans and your progress.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take time to pause
and reflect the past and how it impacts your
current situation. Patience is a virtue. You’ll
see clearly. You can make decisions that will
alter the way or what you learn. Applying
knowledge to a situation that can lead to a
better position is recommended. Romance
is encouraged. Go over your personal books.
A minor adjustment to your tax return will
make a difference. Don’t neglect to take care
of money, contractual or health issues that
have been lingering on. Make plans to socialize or to engage in an activity that you can
enjoy with your children or your lover.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Discuss your concerns, intentions and long-term personal
goals with someone you are in a relationship
with. Knowing that you can collaborate on
important issues with someone will encourage you to move forward. Emotional manipulation will surface when dealing with matters
that can influence your domestic environment. Clear up any issue that could present
a problem before you move forward. Your involvement in activities or events that you can
SUDOKU
BY EUGENIA LAST
share with someone you are in a partnership
with will encourage you to begin a new joint
venture. Stay on top of health issues. Take
care of those who depend on you or who
need special assistance.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Follow your
dream. Make changes at home that will add
to your convenience or make you feel more
relaxed. Set aside a spot that you can pursue
a creative endeavor or fitness regime. Speak
up if you have emotional concerns regarding
your relationship with someone. Discussions
will help bring you closer together. Channel
your energy wisely if you want to avoid a
touchy situation. By altering your living arrangement to add greater comfort and ease
stress, you will improve your home environment. Personal improvements made will
boost your confidence and make you feel
good about the way you look and what you
have to offer. Romance is highlighted.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take a moment to recap what’s going on around you
before you let your emotions take over, causing you to make false assumptions. Do your
best to fit in and get along. You may feel like
making changes, but anything that is excessive or can hurt your reputation should be
reconsidered. Choose harmony over turmoil.
Put more passion into whatever you pursue.
Doing the best you can will draw positive
attention, resulting in greater opportunity.
A helpful attitude will be your best attribute
when dealing with groups, children or your
lover. Keep busy and you will avoid becoming
embroiled in an emotional situation.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are best
not to share your financial situation with
anyone. Loss is likely if you bail someone out
instead of just offering suggestions. Don’t
overreact or take on too much. The trouble
will begin if you are indulgent or overbearing
in any way, shape or form. Don’t let impulse
take over. An emotional experience will end
up being a positive educational lesson. Take
time to appreciate what you learn and to incorporate the knowledge received into the
way you live and deal with others. Revisit old
ideas and look for a creative outlet that will
ease your stress. Romance will enhance your
personal life.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Get in touch with
old friends or colleagues and you’ll be offered
interesting information that can change your
direction or future prospects. Don’t share
information that you don’t want revealed. A
problem with taxes or money you owe is apparent. Be careful when dealing with institutions, government agencies or secret matters.
You can make a financial change or investment
that will help you save. Look for new ways to
improve your health and your reputation. A
nutritious diet and fitness routine will lead to
greater energy, stamina and longevity. Emotions will flare up if you get into a dispute with
a partner, relative or neighbor. Keep the peace.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take your time.
Don’t feel you must take part in something
that doesn’t interest you. Rest and relaxation
will be in your best interest. Take care of your
health and emotional well-being. Someone
will take advantage of you if you are too accommodating. Don’t spend money or make
a donation because someone makes you feel
guilty. Live life your way and engage in pursuits that interest you. An opportunity will
present itself if you partner with someone you
find unique and fun to be around. Explore new
possibilities. Don’t share information if you
think it will lead to an argument. Engage in
activities that emphasize love.

Bradford Neighbors
by Neighborhood Correspondent Sasha Wolfe
[email protected] or 464-0264
The snow has mostly melted although there is still a bit more out
back where piles had been shoveled
off the back deck. Raking of the
lawn and gardens is finished. The
hardest part was getting the driveway stone back to the driveway and
the roadside dirt of the front of the
lawn. Now it’s just about being excited to see what plants are popping
up. White crocuses are blooming
which means I can plant the purple
ones I bought last month. Each day
more daylilies break ground and
there’s a little nub of bleeding heart
sticking up.
I get outside two or three times a
day doing a little here and there. Often, Leo, the neighbor’s yellow kitty
keeps me company. How can I not
love him? Whenever he sees me, he
comes running and acts like I’m his
long-lost friend. One time I turned
around and he was laying across the
coreopsis I’d just cleaned out. A couple days later I pulled the flower box
of mint out of the snow and he was
soon sprawled in that. I forgot I divided the box between regular mint
and catmint.
I’ve been planning how to design more flower gardens but news
of the water ban still being on was
announced. It’s time to drag out
the rain barrels. Last year I bought
one (which was pricey) then found
I could use a big Rubbermaid trash
barrel. I have two. I worried about
the neighbors’ cats or some other
critter jumping up and falling in,
so I drilled holes in the covers and
turned them upside down. They fit
securely on the top edge of the barrels. The rainwater pools in the underside of the covers and drains into
the barrels and kitties can’t fall in.
The plan today (Sunday) is to
paint the barrels purple. It’s all about
color for me. Color makes me happy.

~ PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE ~
The Selectmen will hold a Public Hearing for the purpose of accepting

Held at the Town Hall (5 East Main St.)
During the regularly scheduled Selectman’s meeting.
Seeking area residents
interested in having, on-site professional review of their private wells. This service is grant funded by the USEPA. It is
free and is confidential. Many times well owners are unaware
of the possible causes of contamination in their wells. Older
wells may not be sealed properly near the surface or their
source of water may be shallow and influenced by things like
feedlots, septic systems, or nearby land uses. Many things at
or near the surface could impact the water quality of a well.
This assessment provides you a comprehensive evaluation
of the possible causes of contamination at or near your well
to help you understand what possible risks and vulnerabilities you should be aware of that might impact your drinking water. The assessment considers site conditions, geology,
land use practices, well construction, and maintenance to
provide you with a detailed list of things, if any, that could
impact your well water quality. The results will provide you a
list of possible concerns, if any are found, and recommendations and best practices that will help you keep your well and
your family safe from well contamination. Contact Kathy
Rodgers at [email protected] or 603-768-1048 to
schedule an assessment.
