Joshua “Bo” Finet and his wife Jennifer Lo-pez (Jlo) never planned to fall in love with Hen-niker, and they certainly didn’t think they’d pick up lock, stock and bar-

rel from a Boston suburb and start an ice cream shop in the little town. But here they are, and they are loving it!

Hillsborough Town Moderator Leigh Bosse got it wrong when he posted what voters need to present at the polls to vote on the New Hill-sborough Community Facebook page and else-where last week. Instead of listing what is needed for a registered voter to vote, he listed what is needed to register to vote.

Bosse posted that in order to vote, a voter must present a photo ID,

which is true. But he also posted that a voter must present proof of residen-cy in Hillsborough and proof of U.S. Citizenship, both of which are not true if the voter is already a registered voter.

To register to vote, a voter must present a pho-to ID or a non-driver ID, and proof of residency in the town they intend to vote in. And if a voter was born outside of the United States, then that voter must provide proof of naturalization in order to register. But once a

voter is registered, a vot-er need only preset a pho-to ID – a driver’s license or a non-driver ID – at the polls.

If a voter intends to register the same day as voting, then that voter should bring photo ID, and proof of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate.

Bosse signed his mis-leading post as Leigh D. Bosse, Moderator.

The misleading post by Bosse was reported to the NH Secretary of State’s office.

Toronto based Superi-or Plus Corp. announced Tuesday in Business Wire that it is purchasing Antrim’s Rymes Propane and Oil for $159 million. The asset purchase is subject to regulatory ap-proval and is expected to be finalized by the end of September.

Business Wire quoted Luc Desjardins, Superi-or’s President and CEO, saying “We are very pleased to enter into this transaction which ex-pands our U.S. propane distribution business in the Northeast U.S. Ry-mes is a solid business and we look forward to welcoming the team to Superior and continuing to provide outstanding customer service to their customers. The acqui-sition of Rymes is our

third acquisition in 2020 and increases the total value of acquisitions in 2020 to approximately $270 million.”

Rymes was noted as earning $20 million last year with increasing ex-pectations in years to come.

Jim Rymes Sr. com-mented that while the family will not be stay-ing with the Company after the purchase, the “extended family,” all the employees, are ex-pected to be retained under the new manage-ment. He compliment-ed the purchasers as a “great company with a great management team” and that they had turned down three other compa-nies that were interested in purchasing the com-pany.

Jim had no specific plans for retirement, al-though he acknowledged

that his sons have been running things for the last ten years. The fam-ily will be retaining one office on Martha’s Vine-yard operating under the name MV Propane as the sale did include the Ry-mes business name. As such we can expect to continue to see the com-pany continue to operate under the Rymes name and still see the familiar trucks making deliver-ies. It is expected that we will also still see the pink trucks, sales from which are donated to lo-cal breast cancer chari-ties.

The sale comes fol-lowing last year’s sale of Ayer & Goss. Jim Rymes commenting on the consolidation in the industry noted that it comes partly because it is easier to meet regula-tory requirements as a large company.

Weare Fire/Rescue press release

Recently, a happy and healthy Ava Lynne stopped by the Weare Fire Station to meet some of the people who helped save her life. She presented to them a wooden flag that her Papa made to say thank you.

On February 10, 2020, Weare Fire Res-cue responded to South Sugar Hill road for a young girls injured from a horse kick to the head. The duty crew that evening, Cap-tain Paramedic Kristina Houde and Fire-fighter AEMT Amanda Charest, respond-ed immediately from the Safety Complex. Fire Chief Robert Vezina and Lieutenant Wayne Meattey soon joined them.

Within moments of arriving, it was ap-parent that the young girl was facing a pro-foundly life-threatening medical emergen-cy. Working quickly the crew began what

would prove to be life saving measures as they prepared to get her to Concord Hos-pital. Once at the hospital, Ava Lynne was taken to surgery to remove shattered bone fragments from her grain before she was flow by helicopter to Boston Children’s Hospital.

“We almost lost our sweet Ava Lynne, but tonight she is doing so amazing,” said her mom, Michelle Preve. “From the bot-tom of our hearts, we would like to thank Weare Fire Rescue for everything they did that night.”

Ava Lynne’s road to recovery has not been easy. She has demonstrated strength and determination in overcoming each physical and emotional obstacle to make an astonishing recovery, amazing even to most experienced doctors.

The Hopkinton School Board riding on the back of its recently passed bud-get has approved a plan to offer students and parents a choice of fully remote learning or a hybrid atten-dance model. The admin-istration is sending out sur-veys /registration forms to all students to determining which and how many are choosing each model.

All hybrid models are based on split classes. The Elementary Schools (Harold Martin and Ma-ple Street) will have half of students attending Tues-days and Thursdays (Team A) and the other half on Wednesdays and Fridays (Team B). On Mondays Teams will be attending on alternate weeks.

The Middle-High School will instead have Mondays as a “Skinny”

remote day (40 minute blocks) and Team A will attend in person on Tues-days and Wednesdays and Team B on Thursdays and Fridays. The teams will attend remotely while the opposite team is in person.

The administration and Board are aware of the pos-sibility that it may be nec-essary to transition back to a fully remote model and is remaining prepared for that possibility.

Four years ago, the Hillsboro-Deering School District’s Director of Facilities, James Bailey approached the Elementary School PTO President, Kathryn McGinn about the decaying condition of the wood-en playground. The PTO and the school district took on the task of looking at op-tions for a replacement playground. They visited playgrounds that were recently built, contacted companies and found that a new playground would cost over $150,000. This was a daunting amount of money, but the PTO was determined.

A fundraising effort, and a Playground Committee was formed to assist in the planning process. The PTO brought in a new idea of the Ninja Challenge, and two years in a row it raised over $20,000! They were close, but not there yet. A warrant article was brought to the HDSD School Board, which asked to match fifty percent of the $150,000, and it passed. Since then, the PTO and the Playground Committee has worked hard to research and learn as much about building a playground as possi-ble. After the design was finalized, the plan was set in motion, parts were ordered, fi-nal numbers adjusted, and volunteers were called.

The amazing volunteers helped get the majority of the playground erected in just a

couple of days, and mulch was spread the following couple of weeks. When children went by the playground to get a sneak peek, they were in awe. Dakota Mercier, an in-coming fourth grader, said, “My favorite part of the new playground is the swaying bench.”

She is referring to one of the many new accessible pieces of equipment. This partic-ular bench is a wheelchair accessible bench that rocks like a swing. Alexis Czyzewski, a parent and volunteer that helped with the build commented, “This playground serves two purposes for the kids- one being an awesome place for them to run and jump and play, and the second being a great ex-ample of how a community can work to-gether to achieve a shared goal.”

Many thanks go out to the individuals and businesses who participated in fund-raising, demolition and the build. Pettinelli and Associates, for designing the play-ground and supervising the build. Ming Du & Osram Sylvania, for each donating a bench. James C. Bailey III Home Improve-ments, for the use of his backhoe. Boulder Creek Excavation, for assisting with the demolition and preparing the new site. Bill Goss and the Hillsboro Highway De-partment for removing the old woodchips. Aubuchon Hardware and Quikrete, for the donation of cement. McDonalds, for their monetary donation. James Bailey and his

maintenance crew. The Hillsboro-Deering School Board. Kid Adventures & Cathy Bennett, for partnering with the PTO, and all the teachers, staff, students at the Hills-boro-Deering Elementary School.

As parent, Traci Blain, said, “The school and community came together to create a safe place for all children to play. Not only can you swing across the monkey bars, you can roll your wheel chair up a ramp to a boat. Imagination, heart and commitment

went into creating another amazing play scape for kids. … The new playground is a colorful fun place that is proof when people put their minds to it, the whole community benefits.”

Thanks again to all the hard work of the volunteers and the support of the Hills-boro-Deering community, the dream from four years ago has become a reality. This could not have been a success without all of you!

A NEW PLAYGROUND FOR A NEW YEARBy deanna neil

According to Deering’s Conser-vation Commission Chairman and outdoor enthusiast Gary Samuels, “Deering is a small town with big trees!” This is proven by the four old sentinels honored this summer for their extraordinary size. Two of them are county winners and two are state winners, with one of them nominated as a national Big Tree.

“Town residents have consis-tently highly ranked ‘open space and rural character’ in town mas-ter plans,” Samuels says, and with about 30% of the town in some form of conservation, Deering has a lot of the great outdoors to enjoy.

From the 17th to the 19th cen-turies forests in New England were cleared to make way for farms, but as the nation expanded to the West and the land was found to be eas-ier to work and more fertile, many settlers abandoned their homes which the hungry forests quickly reclaimed, Samuels explains. More and more Deering families gave up farming, and in the past few decades thousands of acres were placed un-der conservation easements.

An easement is an agreement between a landowner and an orga-nization - the Town, a forest society, the Audubon Society – stating that the property will only be developed or used in the terms laid out on the easement. Often this involves lan-guage that no buildings may be erected. Sometimes limited, care-ful forestry is allowed. In all cases, the easement, and the terms, are permanent, even if the land is sold; the town owns nearly 20 such ease-ments today. To ensure the terms are being followed the town’s Con-servation Commission “walks the boundaries” of each plot each year.

Many of these easements, as well as private properties, have enormous, old forests on them, and in 1980 some residents decided to take an inventory of the largest trees in town.

“Some of these would be trees that were here in the earliest days of settlement,” Samuels says, “and

escaped the agricultural clearing.”A few years ago, he was given

the list from the 80’s, and since then he’s been following the clues to find these trees. Many of the notes on his list merely say things like “Baldwin Road,” “Deering Line,” and “Off Mica Milne Road,” if they offer any hints at all.

Samuels says that while he hasn’t had much success tracking down the trees from decades ago, his jaunts have led him to discover new big trees which he can nominate for recognition through the UNH Extension Big Tree Program. The Big Tree Program is administered by American Forests, a national nonprofit conservation organiza-tion working to restore and protect the nation’s forests and secure fresh water, forest health, wildlife preser-vation and recreation opportunities.

The circumference of the tree at four feet off the ground, the width of the canopy spread, the height, and the health of the tree are used to compute the score, which is then compared to a list of previous win-ners to determine if it’s an official Big Tree, and the location is marked using GPS.

Deering’s four champion trees are a State champion sugar maple, which might be nominated for list-ing in the National Big Tree list, and a State co-champion white ash, and county champions white oak and basswood.

“Without having really checked this,” Samuels says proudly, “I am going to say that -- for its size -- Deering has more champion trees than any other town in New Hamp-shire!”

You can help locate the earlier Big Trees by taking a look at the information provided in the 80’s. Perhaps one of them is in your back-yard. Visit the list at:

ht tps://t inyurl.com/DEER-TREE. Please be aware that some may be on private property.

“Considering these trees, and all the big black gums and other trees growing here in our many conserved acres,” Samuels says, “maybe we can have a town motto: ‘Small town. Awesome trees.’”

This 81-foot-tall White Ash with a circumference of 234 inches isn’t even the biggest tree in Deering, although it has made it on the UNH Big Tree list.

UNH Big Tree Program representative Sam Stoddard is dwarfed by this champion 60-foot American Bass-wood with a circumference of 142 inches; o�cial measurements are made at four feet above ground level. This tree has a “canopy spread” (the measurement of the diameter of the leaves and branches at the top of the tree) of 50 feet, which is larger than a school bus. Measurements are quite accurate with the use of tech-nology, and locations are recorded down to the inch with GPS.


a quick walk from anywhere in the downtown area. The shop proudly features the Finet’s homemade ice cream, River Ice, and more, made in small batches with high-quality fresh ingredients and a lot of care and creativity.

Along with the basic vanilla, chocolate and straw-berry in both hard and soft-serve styles, SuperScoops has a rainbow of flavors which change from day to day. Bo likes to experiment with different combina-tions - like sweet cream jalapeno, a recent hit - and Jlo does the taste-testing. She was recently “blown away by how much I enjoyed rum raisin” never having been a fan in the past.

Bo’s favorite treat is pistachio, plain, as he doesn’t like toppings, but his wife likes a fancier dish; black raspberry, hot fudge and whipped cream.

SuperScoops also offers a frozen treat they aptly call River Ice, similar to sorbet. It’s a great option for someone who is avoiding dairy, or trying to keep their fat intake down. It has real fruit, water, and a touch of sugar frozen into a nutritious yet decadent-tasting cooler in flavors like mango, lemon, and cherry. The couple are also expanding a line of vegan ice creams, which are built around a coconut base, including but-ter pecan, cotton candy, and pina colada.

“We love requests,” Jlo says, “that’s the beautiful thing of making our own ice cream, it’s the flexibil-ity!”

During their first full week of operation the cou-ple used 110 gallons of liquid, making 225 gallons of ice cream, which was nearly gone by week’s end. Yes, they bring some of the leftovers home - who could re-sist? The most popular flavors so far have been Andes Mints Chip, Double Dutch Chocolate Fudge Brownie, and Espresso Affogato.

They’ve recently chosen two companies to provide special label coffee made exactly to their specifica-tions; one is in Plymouth, Massachusetts and the other in Miami, Florida. While they have basic coffees now, specialty coffees will be added in the fall and include cappuccino, latte, espresso and hot and cold coffee, with or without a flavor burst.

Smoothies at SuperScoops, also coming later in the year, will be spinach-based and use water, milk, soy milk or even ice cream, along with any combination of fruits and vegetables you can think of. If they have it, Jlo promises, they’ll toss it in a smoothie for you.

As if there wasn’t enough charm, they’ve added an old-fashioned soda fountain so you can have a root beer float just like you remember from your childhood.

The bright aqua-blue building also houses a small-er space with a stage area set into a bay window. This side of the building, once the virus precautions are no longer in place, will become The Social Club - a place to bring your coffee, take a seat, watch the big TV, and meet your neighbors. Down the road parties will be able to rent the space, and the couple hope to encour-age local talent to take the stage with open mic nights and performances.

Jlo, a professional photographer, has a line of por-table photo booths which will be set up at the Social

Club as well as be available for rent. These are not your grandmother’s booths though. Using the magic of technology these are interactive, talking machines you stand in front of while they create fun photos; no more cramming your best friends inside a stuffy box while you wait for a blinding flash.

The Club features a huge stoplight which lazily ro-tates through red, yellow and green - “ the last stop on main street,” Bo says.

“It’s the only stoplight in Henniker as far as I know!” Bo jokes. “We want you to come by, stop, pause - take a load off and enjoy a coffee, ice cream, or a smoothie.”

The Finets are high-school sweethearts and have been together “longer than Jlo [singer and actress Jen-nifer Lopez] has been a Hollywood commodity” they say, and have had years of business experience. In the early 2000’s the couple had a similar ice cream shop in Florida, but after it got hit by not one but two hur-ricanes in quick succession, they returned to Boston.

Asked to describe themselves, both Bo and Jlo say they are “serial entrepreneurs.”

While out looking for colleges for their oldest child, who wanted something smaller and more inti-mate than what Boston had to offer, the family ended up in Henniker and they almost immediately found a property they loved. Bo admits it was “almost com-pletely impulsive.” The local lifestyle and connected-ness of the community was also a good fit, so they decided to stay and their son decided to attend New England College.

Each of their three kids have been working at Su-perScoops over the summer and Bo and Jlo are proud that they got the chance to see what a hard day’s work is like.

“The thing that fills my heart the most,” Bo says, “is that all three [kids] have complained about their feet hurting at the end of the day!”

The couple aren’t in Henniker to change anything, they like everything just as it is, which is also why they have fought to keep the menu prices down and make it a place for everyone. Reviews of the new eat-ery are all supportive, and the online ordering and curbside pickup is a big hit. You can get a cone with two scoops for just over $3 and a banana split for about twice that.

“We want to preserve the small-town America feel,” Bo says, “and become an integral part of the community.”

Bo and Jlo plan to keep SuperScoops open year-round and include seasonal flavors like apple pie and pumpkin spice to the menu.

Currently the hours are Tuesday through Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., but they hope to make the hours longer on Friday and Saturday to accommodate stu-dents who may be up late studying and want a snack to see them through, or need a quick break. Because of the recent cases of COVID-19 in Henniker, they have closed the store entry and temporarily moved service to the walk-up windows on the porch of the building. Get there early, as lines down the block form quickly!

masks, which are required of everyone on campus, at all times. Students who do not abide by the rules may be asked to leave campus and will not be given a re-fund.

Last week Vice Pres-ident Wayne Lesperance issued a strongly-worded warning to students who were ignoring the code of conduct after he was alert-ed to a party that had tak-en place.

“The students were described as not socially distanced, not wearing masks, and gathering in large groups,” Lesperance wrote. “These individuals were confirmed as NEC students by college staff who were in the area. There have been other isolated reports about stu-dents in residence halls other than their own and one report of athletes in-

formally gathering and practicing off campus.”

He called it “frustrat-ing” and “disappointing,” and said “This behavior is wrong. It is reckless. It is unnecessary. And, it is dumb,” and pleaded with incoming students to act appropriately.

“We have one shot. Watch the news. Listen to the voices out there who are saying you will fail. I believe we can prove them wrong,” Lesperance wrote. “I believe we can defy expectations and show others how it’s done. It is up to you.”

President Dr. Michele Perkins wrote in a letter to the community that “In this year of the virus, col-lege, with all its promise and hope for the future, cannot be taken for grant-ed. You are earning your time, your opportunity,

through your courage in the face of an invisible enemy. I share your confi-dence. Let’s face the chal-lenge squarely and safely, together.”

The students’ posi-tive tests follow a Board of Selectmen meeting on August 11 which took up the possibility of mandat-ing mask wearing in town. While all the Board mem-bers seemed to support mask wearing, they were not willing to entertain creating an emergency mask ordinance.

As of press time the Town of Henniker had not more than four active cases of coronavirus, and has had 15 since the pan-demic began. New Hamp-shire reached its peak of new cases in mid-May, and since then the number of residents falling ill has steadily decreased.

Tuesday, September 1 from 5:30 to 8:30 PM, the town of Henniker will present a bonus concert, “The No More Rain Fest,” featuring High Range and Trunk o’ Funk, two of our originally scheduled groups who were rained out this summer. In between their sets, we encourage you to shop local – visiting our local restaurants or packing a pic-nic supper to have in the park.

HIGH RANGE, a high energy roots/folk/bluegrass group with a long list of superlative reviews from national publications as well as raves from local attendees, returns after several years absence from the Henniker series to kick off this bonus concert. Lauded by critics from Portland to Nashville, they received a coveted highlight review in Bluegrass Unlimited, the premier bluegrass journal. Lead by Master Fiddler Ellen Carlson, High Range highlights original music with a mix of covers on guitar, upright bass, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and drums. Their songs, singing and harmonies bring you the soul of working-class New Englanders.

DAVE SHORE’S TRUNK O’ FUNK, a Concord, NH-based, 5-6 piece band, playing originals, covers and ev-erything in between will close out the evening. WKXL’s Rob Azevedo, host of Granite State of Mind, notes: If you are looking for a funkified, delicious performance, look no further. This crew brings the fun, funk and always leaves the stage with a two-handed style slam dunk.”

At this concert, you will have a chance to provide feed-back on the Summer Series. Be sure to fill out the evalua-

tion form handed out at the concert or go online to [email protected] and fill out an online sur-vey of the shows you attended. Your feedback is instru-mental in deciding the musical talent for next year.

Please note the earlier start time for The No More Rain Fest, 5:30 PM to allow each band enough time to enter-tain you. The concert takes place at the Angela Robinson Bandstand at Community Park, Main Street. As with all our shows this summer, we ask you to mask-up upon en-tering and leaving the park, visiting with friends or using the bathroom or porto potty. Once settled in one of your marked off spaces in the park, there is no need to wear your mask. The park will be fenced in and once we have reached capacity, no one else will be admitted. Bring a chair, spread a blanket, visit a local restaurant or have a pic-nic supper on the lawn and join your neighbors and friends

in this community-building event at our bandstand.The Henniker Summer Music Series, planned by the

volunteer Community Concert Committee and spon-sored by the town of Henniker looked and felt very dif-ferent this summer, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But with everyone abiding by the guidelines which followed CDC and State policies to ensure the safety of attendees, we have had a great series of concerts. We are grateful to Pats Peak, Henniker Septic Services, Henniker Parks De-partment, Cyclesmith and the SelectBoard for partnering with us to make Community Park and the Angela Rob-inson Bandstand a safe space for everyone. Most of all, we want to thank you, our attendees for following all the rules and protocols with good spirit. Join us for “The No More Rain Fest!”

She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Healthcare Administration from Stonehill College.

“I’m excited to be a part of the Henni-ker community and for the school year to begin,” said Nurse Barry. And in regard to COVID-19, she said,” I look forward to helping our students and staff get through this. We will adapt and keep students and staff safe.”

While quarantining earlier this year, Barry took up the hobby of raising chick-ens.

“I have 13 of them now, so I always have lots of eggs,” she exclaimed.

The Antrim selectmen have written a letter to the NH State Site Evaluation Committee (SEC) asking they look into whether complaints about noise from the turbines erected by Antrim Wind Ener-gy (AWE) on the Tuttle Mountain ridge rise above levels accepted by the SEC.

Chairman of the Selectmen, Michael Genest, summed up the intent of the let-ter on Wednesday as follows: “We are asking the SEC to follow their rules and do it in a timely manner regarding the complaints about sound.”

The letter is written in reaction to “our listening to the Public Meeting discussion conducted between Commis-sion members related to . . . the public comment session that involved both An-trim residents and [SEC] Counsel for the

Public,” the letter states. The discussion occurred on July 29.

In the letter, the selectmen ask that “all noise measurements taken and any third-party compliance review be com-pleted only in accordance with existing SEC Rules and AWE’s Certificate of Site and Facility. . . . Providing SEC Rules and the Conditions of the approved Cer-tificate are followed, the determination of whether AWE’s resulting noise mea-surement are compliant or not should be easily ascertained by an independent third party.”

The selectmen’s letter also states, “We believe that SEC’s decision that AWE’s Project would not adverse-ly affect public health and safety was founded upon the belief that noise lev-els would be at or below the standards described in its order and resulting Cer-tificate conditions.”

Press release

Weare District Schools which in-clude Center Woods Elementary (K-3), Center Woods Upper Elementary (4-5), and Weare Middle School (6-8), will all begin school on September 9 but with a phased-in approach to allow students and staff to get accustomed to Covid-19 precautions. Precautions include mandatory mask wearing for all and social distancing in classrooms, hallways, and lunch areas. During this phase-in, about a third of the student population will be in school buildings with the remaining students working remotely.

Center Woods Elementary and Up-

per Elementary will be on the phase-in schedule from September 9 until Sep-tember 22. Once the phase-in period is over, Center Woods Elementary and Upper Elementary School students will attend school in person fi ve days a week. Weare Middle School Students (6-8) phase-in from September 9 to September 11. Beginning September 14, they will follow a hybrid schedule with all students on remote on Monday and alternating schedules the remain-der of the week.

Following phase-in, Center Woods Elementary and Upper Elementary School (grades 1-5) students will at-tend school every day in the cohort they have been assigned to and will re-

main together with those students and adults each day. Arrival and departure times will be staggered to allow for increased parent drop off and changes in bus routes. Kindergarten students will attend school in person two partial days a week with one day of remote in-struction.

The Weare School District will sup-ply students with Chromebooks, math materials, and books but is asking par-ents to provide specifi c school supplies in a container to eliminate sharing. Par-ents may purchase the needed supplies (lists available by school) or purchase a Learning Kit from their school for $25. If fi nancial hardship exists, parents should contact the school.

At a recent Newbury Selectmen’s meeting there was discussion for a joint committee for implement-ing the Master Plan regard-ing Zoning amendments for the existing Ordinanc-es, for housing. This would encompass work-force housing, smaller homes as well as cluster housing,

and it was suggested that a builder needs to purchase some land and do some of these projects. This com-mittee could be made up of a member of the Select Board, one from the Zon-ing Board, the Conserva-tion Committee, the Plan-ning Board and as well as a member of the public. The aim is to get this on the March Ballot for voting at Town Meeting.

The new fire station location is progressing in preparation of laying foot-ings, and the blasting is nearly complete.

Discussion regarding the leftover fencing from the playground area and if it would be used to separate the two parking lots. That is the current plan, however it is much too early to con-sider at this time according to the Board of Selectmen.

Letters to EditorDear Editor; As divisive as our current political discourse is there

must be limits for what is acceptable as a community. An example of going too far is a banner at a home in Hillsbor-ough. The banner is red, white and blue and the graphic is an easily recognized hand with only the middle finger pointing up. The text is “Impeach this, Trump 2020.” I doubt I’m the only one who drives past this thinking it’s inappropriate. Yes, it’s free speech, but support for a can-didate does not need to be vulgar.

Thank you, Don Sampson, Hillsborough

The pilings are being placed in the Warner River in preparation for moving the Bement Bridge located off Route 103 on Center Road. Superintendent of the proj-ect Alan Davis indicated the move will probably be in two weeks. Upon repairing the abutments the bridge will then be re-positioned on its current location with new sides and new flooring before winter.

The Bradford Economic Development Committee discussed whether Fireworks should be postponed un-til September, but decided that they should wait until 2021. Also any Halloween projects usually planned

for October will not be held until 2021.With the continued need for expanded Internet

coverage in the area, Central New Hampshire Region-al Planning Matt Monahan will check with what the State’s Broadband Expansion Initiative is.

Bradford and Warner Police Departments and War-ner Fire Department were at a vehicle fire on Route 103 on the Bradford/Warner line on Saturday August 22 at 10:00am. Traffic was diverted at Melvin Mills for a temporary detour.

The revenue and expenses were reviewed by the Select Board and it was stated the Fire Department is running over budget as is the Legal Expenses. There is 40% left which is felt manageable.

At their August 10th meeting, the Select Board signed a license for Kraken Ammunition to sell re-volvers and pistols.

Selectmen Marlene Freyler questioned the food stand located on Route 114. Selectmen Jason Allen indicated as long as there was no problem with the traffic he had no issue with it. Police Chief Jim Vali-quet stated there had been no problems with the traffic at that location.

Candidate statement

I’m Cinde Warmington, a can-didate for Executive Council Dis-trict 2 and a lifelong health care advocate and Democratic activist.

I’m running for Executive Council because I know that one vote on the Executive Council is the difference between Planned Parenthood being funded and women across our state being de-nied essential health care services; one vote on the Executive Council is the difference between a Com-missioner of Education who sup-ports public education and one who seeks to undermine it every single day; one vote on the Executive Council is the difference between a Supreme Court that upholds our fundamental rights and one who seeks to undermine the right to choose, the right to vote and the right to marry the one you love.

I’ve worked in health care for forty years: twenty years in labo-ratory medicine and hospitals, and twenty as a health care attorney. Currently, we have no one on the Executive Council with a health care background, despite health and human services being the larg-est share of our state budget. Now in the midst of a public health cri-sis, this expertise is desperately needed. As a health care worker and now a health care attorney, I’ve seen the challenges many Granite Staters face in accessing quality,

affordable health care, including reproductive health care, mental health, and substance use disorder treatment. On the Executive Coun-cil, I will work to expand access and lower costs for New Hamp-shire families.

I’m also an activist. I started knocking on doors two decades ago to elect Democratic candi-dates. From chairing my town committee, to now chairing the New Hampshire Democratic Par-ty’s Platform Committee, I know our Democratic values, I know how to fight for them, and I know how to get the job done. I’m hon-ored to have more than 65 Demo-cratic and labor leaders supporting my campaign, including Senate President Donna Soucy, Speaker Steve Shurtleff, Rep. Beth Rodd, Rep. Rod Pimentel, and five New Hampshire labor unions.

I have a bold vision to put the power of the Executive Council to work for the people, and I’m pre-pared to give this job my full-time attention to make that happen. I believe if every one of us steps up to do what we can to make a differ-

ence, we can elect leaders up and down the ballot who will stand up for us and for our values.

The towns of Bradford, Hen-niker, Hopkinton, Newbury, and Washington are in Executive Council District 2.

Warmington on ballot for Executive Council When removing an old carpet from a room, under 4 layers of linoleum, a Manchester NH Morning Union dat-ed August 24, 1950 was discovered. It had an article on Bradford Session For Beekeepers, an All Day Program. This was held at the then Thomas J Moore home to begin at 10 am. Dr. Moore welcomed all the visitors to his apiary.

A display of materials and equipment was presented by supply Man Henry Holt from Manchester. Also a con-cern/discussion regarding pricing took place. A picnic lunch was available or arrangements could be made with the Moore’s for a chicken dinner.

The afternoon was spent with a discussion regarding Newer Aspects of Wintering Bees, led by Prof. J. R. He-pler from UNH.

Also included in this program was a talk on “Bee Ven-om Therapy” by Dr. Moore who became interested in bee-keeping from the studying of bee venom used in arthritis control.

CORRECTION-Our ApologiesIn last week’s Stone Bridge Post, a headline misstated that a new Bradford Café is soon to open. That headline should have read: New Warner Café soon to open.

Cinde Warmington


This week I am keeping it simple,but just as de-licious as more complicated recipes. Your choice of apples is a personal decision. I will tell you I made 3 different versions. Using Mac apples, Granny Smith and Asian pears, each with different levels of sweet-ness. My favorite? The Asian pear because it wasn’t as sweet as the Mac apple and it cooked better than the hard Granny Smith. The fl avor and saltiness of the bacon and cheeses along with the spiciness of the capi-cola, not to mention the gooey mozzarella, was just the perfect, quick lunch.

3 fl our tortilla shells6 cooked bacon slices, crumbled4 oz. diced capicola ham1-2 apples of your choice1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded1 cup mozzarella cheese, shreddedNonstick cooking spray

Peel, core and shred the apples on the large holes of a grater. Place in a large bowl with both cheeses, blending well. Spray one side of each of the tortilla shells and place one in a large skillet. Place a quarter of the apple/cheese mixture onto one half of the torti-lla shell. Top with a quarter of the crumbled bacon and

capicola. Fold tortilla in half, pressing down fi rmly. Turn heat to medium and cook quesadilla for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until well browned and the cheese has melted. Remove to a cutting board while continuing with remainder of tortilla shells and fi lling. Cut each hot quesadilla into quarters to serve warm.
