CALL TO ORDER:  Mrs. Pschirrer called this Staff Meeting to order at 5:00 PM in the Walpole Town Hall and welcomed everyone.  This meeting is being recorded.

Mrs. Pschirrer was pleased to welcome a new employee.  She asked Mr. Cassarino to introduce Mr. Kraig Harlow who will be taking over as the Recreation Director.  He hopes to get the pool ready for use on Monday, June 29th, 2020.  

Mrs. Pschirrer displayed a thermometer; one was purchased for every department.  They are to be used every day when employees come to work.  They can do it themselves or the department directors can assist.  It is suggested that everyone wear their masks during working hours.  Unfortunately, thisvirus is with us for the long haul.  We are expecting a second surge of COVID-19.  People are dying on a regular basis.  There is the potential in all states that the governors will re-think their re-openings if the number of cases continues to go up.  

Recycling Center:  Mr. Ben Hoy had submitted and reviewed a written report and revenues as of June 24th.  It has been tough working in the high heat and humidity.  They asked the public to give them some leeway and time when providing assistance.

Mr. Hoy mentioned that Saturday is the July 4th holiday.  They are usually open on Saturdays.  Mr. Dalessio noted Friday, July 3rd is the holiday for the Town.  Mrs. Pschirrer summarized that the Selectboard will continue this discussion on what day the Recycling Center will observe this holiday.  

Recreation Department:  Mr. Cassarino submitted a written report dated June 25, 2020, and reviewed the following.

Pool:

*Reviewed the state requirements and looked at what other facilities were doing;

*Created a plan with strict guidelines that will be presented to the Selectboard to discuss and make any changes that they feel necessary.    

*Up to four people, from the same household, can occupy one pod.

​*Another Pod will be assigned if there are more than four people from the same household.

*They felt like with all of the requirements and guidelines, it was important to make sure that kids, who were being left alone, to be able to understand what was being expected of them.

*Will need to be signed in order to use the pool.

Mr. Cassarino advised there would be 14 pods.  He recommended using field marking tape, at this time, to mark the pods.  People have to call to reserve a pod.  Mr. Mike Rau took out a lot of items left behind from other years and Mr. Hoy took them away.  There is a lot more space and it looks nice.  The pool area capacity is for 54 people.  They will be keeping track of people with a daily log.  There will be a lot of strict guidelines some of which the public might not like.  Staff employed by the Town will still have free access to the pool but they need to call to reserve.

Tennis:

North Walpole Park:

Basketball Clinic:

Waiting to see if more regulations will be lifted in the next few weeks.

Police Department:  Police Chief Michael Paquette and Lt. Justin Sanctuary were present.  Chief Paquette had submitted a report on Canine Calls for Service from January 1, 2020 through June 15, 2020.  There was a Total of 63 Canine Calls.  

Calls By Location:

​Walpole, 40, 63%​​North Walpole, 18, 29%​​Drewsville, 5, 8%  

Time of Calls:​8:01 AM to 4:00 PM – 28 – 44%     12:00 AM to 8:00 AM – 6 – 10%​

4:01 PM to Midnight – 29 – 46%

Chief Paquette is working on the Town Ordinance for canines running at large.  The court system is slowly opening but they are backed-up several months in arraignments.  Mrs. Pschirrerclarified that there already is an ordinance but they are working to amend it.  Chief Paquette reported they are assisting the Highway Department on Watkins Hill and both Highway and Water Departments on Main Street.  They will also help during the paving.  Their lobby is now open.  It was closed since mid-March due to COVID-19.  They are getting data from the traffic speed unit on County Road and North Road.  Vehicles were traveling over 20 plus miles over the speed limit on County Road.  The machine identified repeat offenders and when they are traveling on the road.  The department has their new cruiser but is waiting on two pieces of equipment.  They hope to have both new cruisers on the road in a few weeks.  Lt. Sanctuary spoke to Mr. Rau about an old cruiser.  Officer Prince is back on duty.  Business has not slowed for them, but their cases are a little different; fraud, investigations, etc.  Mr. Nash comes in two days a week to clean-up; they are grateful for this service.  Sometimes they have to have people inside the Police Station. Mr. Dalessio asked how many canines were licensed.  Chief Paquette is not sure.  A part-time person could track all that.  A lot of towns have their own canine investigation person.

Administrator of Finance:  Mr. Richard Kreissle submitted the following written report that he discussed at this meeting.  .

GOFERR Covid-19 Expense Reimbursement Submission:  Concord rejected the labor and loss of revenue submissions.  Brad’s extensive labor in disinfecting the Town Hall and labor associated with updating facilities to make it as hands free as possible was rejected. They felt it was within his normal realm of duties.  Any claims for loss of revenue are not allowed within the parameters as established by the government.  He is working with Mark Houghton for any expenditures related to the Walpole Fire District (WFD).  He also contacted North Walpole for the same.  WFD has lost revenue on ambulance calls.  Specifically, as it relates to the WFD, Elizabeth Gilboy of the NH Department of Safety-Homeland Security believes we should be able to include radios so the Town Hall can be an alternate emergency operating center.  The next deadline is July 15th.  Mrs. Pschirrer does not believe the Town will be able to collect $91,000+ which is the amount they were allocated. The State is not allowing for much of what we have submitted.  Mr. Dalessio mentioned submitting items needed to open the pool such as the tape, signs, sanitizers, etc.  We can try.  Mr. Kreissle said this is an on-going project.  

The annual audit: The field audit was done remotely this year, and, in some ways, it was busier for him than when they were onsite.  When they are onsite, he could give them the records for the library, Trustees, etc. and let them go through those records to find the documentation they need.  This year the onus was on him.  At the end of the day, he was actually grateful for this for he got a greater awareness of those other areas and, depending on their findings, may add to his record keeping to faciliatatesubsidiary schedules for future audits.  Another example of how it was busier for him were the credit card accounts.  Each statement for each of the five departmental cards we have are two pages.  He had to scan and forward to them a year’s worth of statements for them to do their testing; that’s 24 pages for five departments for a total of 120 pages that had to be scanned.  To do that each statement had to be unstapled, scanned, then stapled back together after they selected the charges they want to verify!  When they’re on site, he can just give them each department’s credit card folder and do the leg work.  It was very different this year.

He developed a subsidiary schedule of tax collections against the Spring Tax Warrant to allow us to determine whether tax collections are being affected by the pandemic.  As compared to this time last year the town is slightly ahead.  His personal concern has been the cumulative collections (Spring and Fall Tax Warrants) as the town always has a seven-figure obligation for the county portion of taxes due in mid-December.  So far, so good.  Mrs. Pschirrer advised they have collected $3,000,000 out of the $5,000,000 property taxes coming due.  There is a lot to think about in this economy.   She talked with the Town’s Welfare Director.  The Governor had said there would be no eviction notices issued back in mid-March or early April with COVID-19.  Mrs. Clough anticipates she will be over-come in the next couple of months when that order runs out and people who have not been paying their rent will start coming in for assistance from the Town.  Mrs. Pschirrer pointed out that this represents issues for any town.  

As always, Mr. Kreissle is available to address any concerns, questions or suggestions.      

Hooper Institute:  Mrs. Helen Dalbeck submitted and read the following report dated June 25, 2020.

School Gardens and Community Outreach:  Gardens are growing.  Donations of fresh produce and herbs begins again on 6/29/20.

Summer Programs:  27 students, grades 1-8 participated in their new at home and in the field version of Camp 2020.  Usually summer camp has 60 to 80 kids.  It was an enormous amount of work for Becky Whippie and her, but people were happy.  It was very positive.  Owl nest box building will happen in July.  Tenstudents and their families have signed up so far.  Pre-registration is required; $30/kit to make one box.  For families, there is an open invitation to come to the Hooper Institute andwalk our trail, make shelters and fairy houses.  “Shelterwood and Fairy Houses” Staff will curate but this activity is self-guided.  They invite you to visit them anytime during through the summer.  Mr. Dalessio said that Becky Whippie did a video and built a kit for every project. It was awesome.  

Summer High School Work Program:  Nine students were interviewed and accepted, eight have been placed on three farms (Malnati Farm, Abenaki Spring Farm and Alyson’s Orchard) and the Recycling Center.  They are all set to begin working with one exception.  Her paperwork is incomplete and still pending.

Walpole Community Garden:  The garden members are very happy and active this year.  It is a beautiful sight.

Building and Grounds:  Anyone know a good roofer, tree surgeon, and handyperson?  Mrs. Pschirrer will email her some suggestions.

Governance:  The HI Board met 6/1.  The Hooper Scholarship Committee work is ongoing.

Marketing:  School-Teacher-Parent email network as well as Facebook and The Clarion.

Fundraising and Grants:  Ongoing via Friends of Hooper Institute and her office.

Mrs. Pschirrer advised that they have done remarkably well considering the limitations that were placed on them this spring and summer.    

Manager of Administration:  Mrs. Sarah Downing distributed and reviewed a written report dated June 25, 2020.

Town Hall Update:  

Water and Sewer:

Seasonal Office Activities:

Chief Paquette reported that the first house on Prospect Hill/Wentworth Road will be having a tree taken down.  The company will be there for about half-a-day.  He will give Mrs. Downing the exact date.  

Mrs. Dalbeck asked about the drought.  Mrs. Downing replied that it is definitely dry but the office has not yet been given any orders or direction on conservation.  Mrs. Pschirrer noted that people on wells are very conscious of it.  The Town wells have not gone dry but we should not use the water wastefully.            

Highway Department:  Mr. Rau was unable to attend this meeting as it is his daughter’s birthday but he had submitted the following written report dated June 24, 2020.

“This past month, highway has been taking advantage of the dry weather and has been doing roadside ditching for drainage, approximately 4 miles so far.  We have also repaired 13 catch basins and replaced 6 insufficient culverts.

The new drainage was installed last week for Maple St.  This road should be ready for paving in the next few weeks.”

Beginning next month, they will start their paving projects.  Starting with reclaiming a portion of the Old Drewsville Road as well as milling Main Street from Wentworth Road to the Walpole Middle School.  After that is done, paving will begin.

Town Clerk / Tax Collector:  Mrs. Sandra Smith was unable to attend this meeting but had submitted the following written report dated June 25, 2020.

“First a big Thank You to Sarah for coming in Wednesday to remind her!  She had been so busy collecting taxes and keying them into the system, that she forgot all about the meeting.  She is totally exhausted, so will not be attending.

She did have her “Million Dollar Day” yesterday!  Core Logic, a tax service, sent checks for almost $900,000 and then with payments from the property owners has completed her quest.  This took steady keying all day to complete all the deposits.  She deposited over $100,000.00 today and the checks keep coming!

They collected $82,885.00 on motor vehicle fees since the last Staff Meeting.  

She collected $3,465,389.15 in taxes – most of this is for the new bills due July 1st.

Working by appointments is going quite well.  If someone wants to pay taxes, she runs outside, gets their check and then brings their receipt out to them.  That way they only have one transaction in at a time.  

She will be taking some time off in July to recover!”

Walpole Library: Mrs. Justine Fafara was unable to attend this meeting but had submitted a written report.

WHAT DO VIRUSES EAT ??? – DID YOU EVER WONDER ABOUT IT ??? by Ray Boas Well I did, and a Googling away I went. Viruses don’t eat I found out, but in my search I found a wonderful website with all the answers about how viruses act and react. I recommend you visit VIRUS WARS: ANTIBODIES STRIKE BACK – which was an exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition in the UK in 2013.  Following is what I found fascinating from the site. “Knowledge is Power,” and with reading what follows you will be better prepared to understand not only COVID-19, but all viruses. Do viruses eat, and are they alive? The answer is near the end. Every day you breathe in over 100,000,000 viruses. Antibodies help your immune system fight back. Viruses are deadly. They kill twice as many people as cancer does – around 15 million people every year. Vaccines have saved many lives, but for most viruses there is no cure. Understanding how viruses work and learning how the human immune system deals with them is critical to finding new treatments. What is a virus? All viruses are very simple, they are made up of an outer shell of protein which carries the virus’ DNA (or RNA) – the genetic code with the instructions for making new copies of the virus. Some viruses have an extra layer around the shell, but that’s about it. Despite being so simple there are many different types of virus that can cause diseases from the common cold and flu to chicken pox and AIDS.M Viruses are all around us – everyday we each breathe in over 100,000,000! Most of these are harmless, but some can make us sick. Viruses are tiny agents that invade the cells of our bodies and hijack the microscopic machines inside our cells to produce millions of copies of the virus, assembling a viral army which bursts out of the cell, spreading the invasion through the body. Viruses aren’t actually alive – they don’t grow or move themselves, or eat or use energy, and they can’t reproduce on their own. This is why they must invade our cells – so that they can take advantage of the complex machinery, nutrients and energy in our cells, and force the cell to make millions of copies of the virus using the genetic blueprint carried in the virus. Fascinating facts about viruses You are constantly exposed to viruses – in the air you breathe and things you touch and water you drink. Viruses can cause a huge range of diseases. From viruses that give you a cold to viruses that quickly kill you (rhinovirus – common cold; flu; VZV – chicken pox; SARS; Ebola;) During an infection viruses invade your cells in order to reproduce. Each cell becomes a virus factory, which eventually bursts, releasing 10,000 new viruses which can go on to infect other cells (adenovirus). During an infection you may have several million viruses in every millilitre of your blood. The human body makes use of antibodies to fight disease. You have ~3×107 unique antibodies. The shape of the antibody determines what it can bind to. Because you have so many different antibodies, almost any shape can be recognised. After recognising an invading virus, the cells (B-cells) that produce the individual binding antibody are stimulated to divide. Each antibody producing cell can produce 2000 antibody molecules per second. After 4-7 days, antibody (IgG) is detectable in blood. Antibodies bind to viruses, marking them as invaders so that white blood cells can engulf and destroy them. Until recently, antibodies were thought to protect on the outside of cells. TRIM21 binds to viruses on the inside of cells. TRIM21 sends viruses to the cell’s recycling system (the proteasome) where the virus is destroyed. An antibody is 1,000 times smaller than a virus particle (adenovirus) Two antibodies per virus are enough for TRIM21 to send the virus for destruction. Understanding how TRIM21 and antibodies work may help scientists devise new therapies for virus infection. Antibodies strike back! Antibodies are one of the key weapons against viruses in our immune system’s arsenal – they are molecules made by our white blood cells to fight off invaders and keep us healthy. Each of us has more than 10 billion different kinds of antibody – that means there are more different antibodies inside you right now than there are people in the world. Although antibodies all have the same basic ‘Y’ shape (see picture), they can have any shape at their ‘ends’, so for every shape of virus, there is an antibody to match. Antibodies with the right shape for a virus will stick onto it and alert your cells to destroy the virus. This also turns the cell that is making the right shaped antibody into an incredible antibody-making factory, churning out 2,000 antibodies every second! Antibodies, Antigens and Antibiotics They may all start with ‘Anti’, but they mean very different things… Antibodies are proteins that recognise and bind parts of viruses to neutralise them. Antibodies are produced by our white blood cells and are a major part of the body’s response to combatting a viral infection. Remember me by: Antibody – Body protection Antigens are substances that cause the body to produce antibodies, such as a viral protein. Antibodies bind antigens very specifically like a lock and key, neutralising the virus and preventing its further spread. Remember me by: Antigen – Antibody Generator Antibiotics are substances that kill bacteria. They are not able to neutralise viruses. Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics, so misusing them for non-bacterial infections could have serious consequences rendering the antibiotic ineffective. Remember me by: Antibiotic – Antibacteria Are viruses alive? This is actually a really hard question to answer. Viruses are much simpler than other organisms that we definitely consider alive. For instance, you have about 25,000 genes, whereas HIV has eight. But simple doesn’t necessarily mean not alive. Viruses must also use a host cell – and all its complex machinery – in order to replicate. This means that a virus can’t replicate without a host. But then you could say the same thing about a head louse, and we would definitely call a louse alive. So where do we begin? First of all, you have to be really clear by what we mean by alive. Some of these discussions border on philosophy, but the easiest way is to list characteristics that all living beings share. Coming up with a list that includes all recognised life forms but excludes other replicating things (like fire) is tricky. However, here is a commonly used list of features that most accepted living beings share: Growth Reproduction Metabolism (extracting food from the environment and turning it into self) Homeostasis (keeping a regulated internal environment) Responding to stimuli Organisation (having some kind of internal structure, like cells) Evolution Humans do all these things but viruses do, at best, four of them. Viruses do not grow, metabolise or maintain a constant internal environment. So by this definition, viruses are not alive. Viruses are the ultimate freeloaders – they sneak into our cells, eat our food and rely on our homeostasis (their favourite temperature just happens to be body temperature!) Vaccination – Giving your immune system a head start Have you ever wondered what exactly is in the needle when you get a vaccine, or how that works to protect you against a disease? A vaccine against a virus actually contains virus – usually either a dead, weakened, or slightly different version of the virus it protects you against. Deliberately injecting a virus may seem like a very strange approach to preventing infections, but is a really effective strategy, because your immune system reacts to the vaccine and makes lots of specific antibodies with the right shape for the vaccine virus. Once you’ve made antibodies to a target, your immune system ‘remembers’ the shapes of antibodies that were effective. This means that if you’ve had the vaccine and then get infected by the real virus, your immune system has a head start and quickly makes lots of the right kind of antibodies, which destroy the virus before it has the chance to spread through your body and make you sick. The first successful vaccine was developed in 1796 against the smallpox virus, which killed about 500 million people in the 20th century. The vaccine was extremely good at protecting people from infection, and was given to people around the world, so that in 1979 smallpox was officially declared to be extinct. This is an amazing example of how powerful vaccines and antibodies can be in protecting us against infection. I also discovered a YouTube presentation that you may find useful: Please remember: WEAR YOUR MASK and exercise SOCIAL DISTANCING, and WASH YOUR HANDS. I hope you found this of interest. Thank you for getting through to the end, yours, RAY BOAS, Publisher, THE WALPOLE CLARION.

Monday begins our browsing appointments!

 

Follow this link to make a 15-minute appointment to browse the books we’ll have in the front room. All of our new books for adults, kids, and teens will be in the front room along with new movies and audio books. We’ll also have our staff picks available. You can make one appointment for everyone in your household. Please wear a mask when you come to the library and sanitize your hands before browsing (we have plenty of sanitizer!). Email Justine if you have any questions: jfafara@walpoletownlibrary.org

 

This week Justine Fafara, our amazing Library Director for the last 5 years let me know she would be leaving The Bridge Memorial Library to further her career at the Richards Free Library in Newport, NH.  Justine came to our library in 2015 and has fearlessly led the library through expansion of our programming and our building. Less visible to the public was her collaboration with other state and local libraries to increase access to e-books and programs.  Justine also kept the staff busy and the community served during a global pandemic.  We will miss her dearly, but look forward to seeing her visit often as a patron!

The trustees will be assembling a committee to lead the search for a new Library Director.

Justine’s last day will be on July 29th.  Until we hire a new Library Director, Chris Burchstead and Julie Rios will be dividing the leadership duties with support from the board of trustees.  Julie will be the main point of contact for you.

I know you will join me in congratulating Justine on her new position in Newport. Please let me know if you have any questions.  I can be reached through email at amyh294@gmail.com.

Thank You,

Amy Howard

Best Ice Cream in New Hampshire
Walpole Creamery

Using milk from local farms and a base mix made from scratch, the super-premium and all-natural ice cream churned by the folks at Walpole Creamery is the ultimate scoop. The real maple walnut is a personal favorite, but there’s also Fijan ginger, black raspberry, udder joy (coconut ice cream with chocolate chunks and crunchy almonds), and seasonal specials like fresh peach in late summer and pumpkin spice in early fall.

Are You a Self-Employed Business Owner?

There’s a New Program for That.

 

Today, Governor Sununu outlined a new program designed to help self-employed people whose businesses did not qualify for the Main Street program because they have no employees other than the owners.  The program is called SELF (Self Employment Livelihood Fund.)

 

Here is how he described the program:

 

• The business must be a NH business
• The owner or owners are the only employees of the business
• The business is a for profit business
• The business is not intending to close permanently; but businesses that had to close temporarily due to COVID-19 may apply
• The business is not in bankruptcy
• The business had less than $1,000,000 in gross receipts in 2019
• The business owner or owners may have received unemployment benefits, but the amount you receive from the fund may be adjusted to offset unemployment benefits.
• The application period opens July 6; the application period will; close onJuly 17.

 

The information is not yet up on the web site of the Governor’s Office for Emergency Relief and Recovery (GOFERR) so check the site often for a link.   https://www.goferr.nh.gov

 

Keep your distance.  Wear a mask.  Wash your hands.

Keep safe.
