Huge Thank You from The Friends Of The Walpole Library
Thank you to the Walpole community for your generous support of our recent Plant Sale on May 7. Whether you donated plants or came to the sale to purchase plants or helped us in any other way . . . we sincerely appreciate your help in making this a very successful fundraiser! We made about $1,500 to benefit our wonderful local library! Thank you so much!
The Library Book Sale: October 28, 29, 30
The Friends of the Walpole Library have two major fundraisers each year. In addition to our plant sale in the spring, we also have a book sale in the fall. This year the sale will run from Friday, Oct 28 to Sunday, Oct 30 in the Walpole School gym. Between now and then we need your help with two things:
- We need your donations of clean, gently used books. Beginning June 8, we will be accepting book donations at the former RN Johnson’s (in bays 14 and 15 to the left of the main building) on Wednesday mornings from 9 – 10, and on Thursday afternoons from 3 – 4. Please no cassette tapes, VHS tapes or encyclopedias.
- We also need you help sorting all of these book donations. The book sorting takes place at RN Johnson’s each week during the same hours that we accept donations. Please see above. Each year there are many books to sort into categories. It is an interesting task and one that is more fun with more people participating.
Thank you so much! Please call Cheryl at 756-4066 with any questions.

Craig and church staffer Karen Kitchen will lead kids and adult helpers up the White Cross trail. Participants should bring a backpack with a bag lunch, snacks and a plenty of water. Sneakers or hiking boots are also a must. The hike itself will take about four hours total and will be challenging at some points, but together we’ll do it and have a great time!
We will meet at 9:30 a.m. in front of the church to caravan down to the Mt. Monadnock Visitor Center and the White Cross trail. If people are traveling from Keene or points beyond, you can meet us at the state park’s Visitor Center at 10:30 a.m. Go to www.nhstateparks.org for directions to the Visitor Center and more information about safe hiking on the mountain.

Friendly Friday on June 17, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Haven’t been to Friendly Friday in awhile? Come back and bring some friends with you! We’ll fill the Common with some joyful noise on June 17! “Like” the Friendly Fridays FaceBook page: www.facebook.com/FriendlyFridaysWalpole or contact the church for more information.
Walpole Leadership Academy Kick-Off – 5/23/16
The Walpole Leadership Academy is about to begin another session. It’s a terrific opportunity to meet others, learn how our town functions and, just maybe, become inspired to volunteer in some small, or even big, way. Many of today’s volunteers are graduates of previous academies, demonstrating the benefits of an endeavor started by Chuck and Sue Bingaman a number of years ago. – Lil
If you have ever wondered how our town boards and committees operate or
how you might volunteer your time within the town, consider joining the
Walpole Leadership Academy.
Our introduction session will be held Monday May 23rd
Hooper Mansion 6:00 PM.
Light refreshments will be served.

Please not these comments from Marilou that accompanied the mintes of the site walk.
” The Enokido public hearing will not be held Wednesday night because there will be a quorum of only four board members. Mr. Vose has recently resigned for health reasons and alternate Judy Trow, who will fill his position, will be out of town for a conference. The outcome could have be a hung jury. The Public Hearing will be held next month. Marilou
It’s a little like the Supreme Court situation. They too are at a stand still. Marilou ” – Lil
Zoning Board of Adjustment
Site Walk
Home of Kay Enokido
192 March Hill Road
Thursday, May 14, 2016
3:00 pm
Present: Zoning Board Members: Myra Mansouri, Jan Leclerc, Mary Therese Lester, Bob Anderson. Peggy Pschirrer selectboard. Secretary Marilou Blaine. Tom Crouse. Husband of Kay Enokido and Barry Bellows, builder.
Barry Bellows started by showing the proposed placement of the accessory building. It is below a fairly substantial concrete bridge that is over a stream, marked as a seasonal stream on the map, that flows from west to east. The building would fit into an embankment with a little bit of terracing of the land behind it. Planned is a two-bay garage with the right-hand bay being used as a studio. Above the garage would be a bedroom, bathroom and the rest living space.
The west side of the driveway and bridge would have the electrical that goes to a transformer. Sewage system goes from a corner of the house, under the bridge to a leach field that is half way down the driveway. There is a catch basin below where the accessory building. The new structure would tie into all these utilities. All the power will be shared with house. Mr. Bellows said he is not trying to make it an independent structure. It an auxiliary building.
French Road, a Class 6 road, abuts the property on the east. The Enokido property is 21 acres with 1400 linear feet of road. On the outside of the triangle of French Road is property owned by the town of Walpole.
There is a buried 500 gallon tank in the left-front section of the house, as you’re facing the house. The land on the west side is enough to get around the house for services such as mowing, getting to the well or fire equipment.
There is a berm to the west that was placed there after a severe rain storm caused the river to back up and breech its embankment and come about 3 or 4 feet up to the house. The berm is made of rock and dirt.
The east side of the house is the bedroom wing and west is the living section. It is single story with an extra story above the bedroom for an office.
So. the house sits on a kind of island, surrounded on three sides by two streams that merge at a point below the house and bridge on the west. The fourth side has the tall berm. The stream that flows in back of and on the west side of the house has a rather steep embankment to the water.
The driveway near the house is circular and goes around a large boulder that is the centerpiece for a rose garden. The driveway of the accessory building could be 30 feet by using a little land on the opposite of the driveway from the building.
There would additional room for parking below but adjacent to and on the same side as the accessory building. The driveway that leads you to the house is approximately 700 feet from the main road. The house and accessory building are not within view of any neighbors.
Respectfully submitted,
Marilou Blaine
