Alternative dates – you’re welcome to attend whatever works for you:
Do you remember your first day of school? Did you get a new outfit or maybe new sneakers? For hundreds of Walpole children, school now starts before Labor Day. It means a new teacher, new classroom, maybe even a new school. It’s a new start. For seniors over the age of 50, it could also mean a new start or a new resolution to begin exercising.
Aging in Motion is a twice weekly local program that provides low-impact exercise that increases your balance, flexibility and stamina. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “both men and women can benefit from regular, moderate physical activity. Some of the key benefits of exercise for older adults include preventing bone loss and chronic disease. And while it may seem counter intuitive, it relieves osteo arthritis pain. Moving more can actually help lessen the pain and stiffness of arthritis. It can also improve mood. Simply put – exercise makes us feel good. It can help ease anxiety and depression as well as increase relaxation and create a sense of well-being.”
AIM exercises are held Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Town Hall from 9 am to 10 am. Janet Chamberlin is our energetic and fun leader. You may know Janet from when she worked in the Walpole Clinic as their physical therapist. Each class is $3.
Books include some bird books owned years ago by Doris Brainard of Walpole. She was an authority on the subject. Money raised will be donated in her memory to the First Congregational Church UCC of Walpole, N. H.

As previously indicated, Great River Hydro will be initiating the drawdown of the Bellows Falls Dam impoundment on the Connecticut River this afternoon.
GRH will slowly lower the impoundment, conduct the necessary post-flood restoration work, and then gradually refill the impoundment to normal operating levels. The entire process will take approximately 3 days. We will communicate with you again when the work is completed.
During the drawdown, visitors to Connecticut River will see exposed riparian areas upstream of Bellows Falls dam, most visible closest to the Bellows Falls dam. We are taking every measure to mitigate, to the extent possible, risks and impact to environmental resources in and adjacent to the Connecticut River.
All recreational use of the river is strongly discouraged during the drawdown period as reduced flows may expose previously submerged hazards and dangerous conditions could exist in exposed flats. Public safety devices at the dam will be restored as soon as possible. Boat ramps at the following locations remain temporarily closed until that work is completed: Herricks Cove (Rockingham, VT), Charlestown (Charlestown, NH), and Pine Street (North Walpole, NH).
Boating continues to be strongly discouraged upstream of Vernon Dam until public safety devices can be restored there as well.
Further updates will be provided as soon as possible. Please contact communications@greatriverhydro.com or (802) 291-8104 with any questions.
