Some COVID-19 Testing is Now Available Without and Order
At long last, some COVID-19 testing is now available without a referral from a health care provider. Testing comes in two types: COVID-19 testing, and antibody testing, and the two tests are accessed differently.
COVID-19 testing tests for the presence of live virus. If you have the live virus, whether you have symptoms or not, you can pass the virus on to others, so you must self-isolate until the virus has run its course. Bear in mind that this test only tells you if you have the active virus right now. It does not tell you if you have already had it, and if you test negative, there is always the possibility that you may become infected at any time after taking the test.
Antibody Testing tests for the presence of antibodies, which are the body’s defenses against the virus. There are a lot of qualifiers to bear in mind if you have this test. First, the tests have been rushed into production, for obvious reason, but they are not as accurate as we would like them to be. There are a high number of false negatives, and a higher number of false positives. This means that if you test positive for antibodies, it could be a false positive, and you may not have the antibodies at all. Second, and this is important, even if you do have the antibodies, this only means that you have contracted the virus at some point. It does NOT mean that you are now immune to getting the virus again. The COVID-19 virus is so new that we just do not know yet if antibodies give you real immunity to the disease, and we certainly do not know how long that immunity lasts, if it does exist. Only time will answer those questions. In the meantime, if you take the test, please keep up your vigilance, and your distancing, and your masks.
Where do I go and what do I do?
COVID-19 Testing: Convenient MD has a state contract to offer the COVID-19 test. The nearest test site is in Claremont. To sign up for the test, go to the NH DHHS COVID-19 page, https://www.nh.gov/covid19/ and click on the COVID Testing Registration Form button on the right. You qualify for testing if you meet any one of the following criteria:
- COVID-19 symptoms
- Healthcare worker
- 60 years old or more
- Chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma
- Serious heart conditions
- Immunocompromised
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Chronic kidney disease
- Liver disease
Once you fill out the form, you will be contacted about an appointment. Do not just show up at the test site.
Antibody Testing: Clear Choice MD has a contract for antibody testing. There are no specifications as to who may be tested.They do not take appointments, but you can reserve a place in line by going to their COVID-19 page. https://ccmdcenters.com/coronavirus2019 Clear Choice MD accepts insurance, and if your insurance does not cover the test, the CCMD offices in New Hampshire offices offer the test to NH residents at no charge. Be aware that the nearest Clear Choice MD is in Brattleboro VT, so check with your insurance company before you go there. If your insurance does not cover the test, the charge in Brattleboro will be $139. Lebanon, Hooksett and Goffstown are the nearest NH offices, but the test will be free to NH residents.
Happy Mothers Day to all, and keep well,

Selectboard Meeting Minutes – 4/30/20
Selectboard Present:Peggy Pschirrer (Chair); Cheryl Mayberry; Steven Dalessio
CALL TO ORDER: Mrs. Pschirrer called this meeting of the Selectboard to order at 6:30 PM. She advised that the Selectboard members are in three separate locations. This meeting is being recorded remotely by FACT-TV. It is available for viewing on the internet. Also attending this meeting is Mrs. Sarah Downing, Manager of Administration, in the Walpole Town Hall, and Ms. Regina Borden, Recording Secretary, by telephone at a separate location.
Mrs. Pschirrer advised there will be no public comments at this meeting. Comments are to be emailed to Mrs. Downing at the Walpole Town Hall. Mrs. Downing will display the agenda. That will be followed by documents as they are being discussed.
Fall Mountain Region School District: Mrs. Pschirrerannounced that Ms. Lori Landry, Superintendent of SAU 60 Fall Mountain Regional School District, is present to discuss the district and CARES funding. Ms. Landry thanked the Selectboard for giving her the opportunity to provide an update on the FMRSD for the community. She met recently with the FMRSD Board and, after a lengthy discussion, the Board made the decision that their last school day will be Friday, June 5th, 2020. Notices were sent home to parents yesterday. Teachers will continue to work until Wednesday, June 17th. During this time they will hold different types of professional development and have closure for the year. Remote learning is different. With this closure, they can put an end to this year and look forward to the next year. They are planning for the fall and what school will look like. All the teachers have done a wonderful job. They worked together and made remote learning successful. There are a lot of unanswered questions but they are having those conversations now.
Mrs. Pschirrer pointed out that the Selectboard is pleased to have Mr. Justin Cassarino as the new Assistant Principal of the Walpole School. Ms. Landry advised that Mr. Sam Jacobs will be back with us to mentor and provide guidance for next year. It will be a good working relationship for everyone. Mrs. Pschirrer noted that colleges are thinking about remote learning next year. Is that something the FMRSD is considering? Ms. Landry said they do not know what will happen in the fall but they need to be prepared. They are looking at what needs to be done between now and June. What do they need to accomplishsuch as graduation, the Senior Prom and how do they celebrate the successes. Every year they offer a Summer Program. They do not know what will happen but are planning on remote learning as well. For the fall they are hoping for the best. The first thing is the safety of their students and they are concentrating on that. The Commissioner of Education has put together a task force. As she learns more she is more than happy to visit with the Selectboard and the community again. The school district continues to hear from the Governor and the Commissioner of Education. Mrs. Pschirrer pointed out that we are all waiting to hear from the Governor tomorrow as we expect he will tell us how we will function through the next month or so. Mr. Dalessio is hopeful that the school district is getting federal aid to help them through all this. Ms. Landry said they were told that the CARES Act would provide additional assistance. They do not know what the dollar amount will be. They hope to know more on Friday but are trying to be conservative. It is a hard time for everyone. Mrs. Pschirrersummarized that we are very grateful for her information. She can come back at any time. Ms. Landry left the meeting.

To Honor our First Responders
This email and the video link came from Sheila Lennon. Although not mentioned, it should be noted that today is also Nurse’s Appreciation Day. When you consider yesterday’s video for our teacher’s and this daily bell ringing for all those special first responders, we are reminded of how very fortunate we are. – Lil
From Sheila:
“I saw Paul Looney and Ellie Shaw yesterday and shared my thanks to Paul and Chuck Shaw
who have been taking turns to ring the Congregational Bells for 1 minute every evening at 7PM in
recognition, appreciation, and sincere thanks for all of our First Responders during these
challenging times.
I took a video last night and shared it via text so Mark Houghton could share it with the area First Responders. Here is a link to last evening’s ringing. (The Lennon’s take pause every evening
for that minute thinking about how grateful we are to live in Walpole, and be safe here, knowing so many
others are not.) Folks outside of the Village might appreciation knowing and hearing the Bells too!
All my best,
Sheila
Yesterday,
Important Message from the Library Director
Dear Patrons,
After much discussion, thought and deliberation the Walpole Town Library Board of Trustees has voted to keep the library closed until further notice. The good news is that we will begin curbside services on May 19th (keep an eye out for a schedule coming soon). While we cannot predict when we can welcome you back into the building, we sincerely hope that curbside pickup will be a beneficial first step in reopening the library.
Below you will find the first half of our phased reopening plan. Keep in mind, this is a working document. It changes often as new information is shared from the government, task forces, the State Library and other local libraries.
Know that we miss you and we can’t wait to see you in the library again, but we’re going to take things slowly. Walpole currently has no confirmed COVID-19 cases and we’d like to keep it that way.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. You can email me at jfafara@walpoletownlibrary.org
Stay well,
Justine Fafara
Library Director
Our Plan for a Gradual Reopeeing
The Walpole Town Library has created a phased reopening plan to continue serving the community while also abiding by the recommended safety precautions from the Governor and the CDC. The primary consideration in this plan is maintaining the safety of both library patrons and library staff while finding ways to provide services that the library is uniquely positioned to perform. Justine Fafara, Library Director, has been working with other local libraries, collaborating with libraries around the state through State Library webinars and conference calls, taking the Governor’s orders into consideration and continues to monitor the situation. This document is a working document; it changes daily as more information becomes available and will continue to change as new information is provided from task forces at both the state and federal level.
In any scenario where staff are working from inside the library building the following need to be implemented:
- Cleaning and disinfecting products can be made readily available for improved hygiene procedures
- Staff are equipped with masks to wear while working and administering public services.
Currently we will:
- Keep the library building closed to both the public and the staff, requiring telework from staff.
- Keep the book drop closed.
- Continue to explore electronic materials we can make available for check out.
- Continue and expand virtual programs
- Keep WiFi turned on 24/7 at the library so the community can access it from outside the building.
- Plan purchases of new materials.
- Allow one staff member in the building one day a week to begin processing new materials and work on small projects at the circulation desk.
Phase 1: Beginning May 18th, assuming there is not a large spike in cases once other businesses begin to open, we will:
- Allow one staff member in the building twice a week for curbside pickup and on site projects. Curbside pickup will look just like it did as we phased into closing: patrons can call or email their requests and let us know what time they will be picking up materials. Staff will pull materials, place in a bag with patron’s name and the time of pickup written on paper taped to the bag, bags will be placed on the front porch 15 minutes prior to pick up time to avoid contact.
- Keep the Book Drop closed and only allow returns of materials we’ve requested back from patrons via phone calls and emails. Returned materials will be disinfected and quarantined for 72 hours (as recommended for plastic surfaces by the CDC).
- Continue everything else as listed above in the “current” plan.
Phase 2: When Stay at Home is lifted, but gathering of no more than 10 is still in effect (no earlier than June 1st):
- Staff can enter the building and will work 4 hour shifts inside to offer curbside services and work on inventory projects. One staff member will be permitted in the building at a time. Telework will still be encouraged when applicable.
- Offer Curbside Pickup daily.
- Staff working inside the building will be required to wear a mask and disinfect any equipment used both before and after use including but not limited to computers, phone, doorknobs, and desks.
- The Book Drop will remain closed. Staff will call patrons and ask for high demand materials to be returned. These materials will be quarantined for 72 hours (as recommended by the CDC).
- Virtual programs will continue.
- Home delivery will be considered. If implemented, staff will be required to wear masks when delivering items and will leave materials outside people’s homes. No contact will be allowed between staff and patrons.
- Begin making planned material purchases.
- Patrons can email materials to the library to be printed and staff will leave them on the porch, just like any other curbside pickup.

Friends of the Library Porch Plant Sale
Good news to all who depend on the Library Plant Sale to give their gardens a boost. It will still be held throughout the spring and summer with some modification. Plants can be donated by leaving them on the porch of the Library. Plants can be purchased by picking them up and leaving your check or cash in the jar provided. Look for this sign on the porch. – Lil
