Received this picture from Sue Bingaman.  At least we know they got this far!  She indicated that it is a long way to California.  Perhaps she should have paid more attention to the Grade 5 teacher who taught her about the USA.  –  Lil

There was a request for the pool hours, especially for adult swim.  It isn’t easy to find them but on Facebook I learned that Adult Swim is from 11:30-12:30 and 4:30-5:30.  General Swim is 12:30-4:30.  You can also call the pool, 756-3496, to verify this. – Lil DeCoste

TOWN OF WALPOLE
MEETING OF THE SELECTBOARD
JUNE 20, 2013

Selectboard Present: Whitney Aldrich; Chas Street; (Absent: Jamie Teague – Chair)
CALL TO ORDER: Mr. Aldrich called the meeting to order at 3:48 PM in the Walpole Town Hall with three people present in the audience.
These are unapproved Minutes.
PUBLIC BUSINESS:
JIM TERRELL: Mr. Terrell reported that the new one ton truck has arrived. It was sent out today to have the Viking body put on. He talked to the person working on the new park area about a crosswalk and he determined that there is enough site distance therefore a designated crosswalk should work out well. Road paving will start on July 1st. The sidewalk project was started in North Walpole. Some maple trees that are dying are being taken down on Main Street in North Walpole and next year the sidewalk in that area will be replaced.
Bruce Russell requested permission to carry over one week of vacation time. The Selectboard approved this request. Mr. Rau is on vacation this week and Mr. Terrell will be on vacation next week. Mike Simonds will be the head man starting on Monday. He will have Mr. Terrell’s cell phone so he can be in touch with Mr. Rau and/or highway crew.
Mr. Terrell met with the representative from FEMA and worked out the figures on the “NEMO” storm. The Town spent $32,652; hopefully, they will be reimbursed 75% or approximately $24,489.
Mr. Terrell received a call inquiring about the status of the 3rd NH Turnpike near the intersection of Stage Road and County Road. He did some research and has determined that the little section of lawn in front of the house was never discontinued. The Town accepted the road back in the 1800s. Mr. Aldrich explained that he would not be in favor of discontinuing any portion of Town roads as they are usually a Town asset but this would just be to clean-up that small section of lawn. The Highway Department does not have an issue with discontinuing it therefore Mr. Terrell will write a Warrant Article to bring before the voters at the next Annual Town Meeting.

PUBLIC BUSINESS:
PAUL COLBURN: Mr. Colburn distributed copies of monthly reports on “Dairy Weight Report and 5 Year to Date Comparison” and the “2013 Summary Monthly Comparison 4th Month Ending April 30, 2013”. Many items are down slightly. He reported that they continue to work on the George Watkins Memorial Garden. He thanked the Highway Department for putting surpac around the burn pit; they built it back up. Mr. Colburn felt they should look into re-building the metal parts at the burn pit as the State has not yet set a date when the rules will be changed. The employees and Mr. Colburn went to the Recycling Conference. One of the items discussed at the conference was the fact that there is a new product that they will begin to collect; it is gable cartons that can be put in with the mixed paper. The building was built for the glass crusher but they need a door. LaValley’s donated some insulation and Matt’s Painting and Drywall donated sheetrock. Last month they shipped a load of cardboard, mixed metals and two loads of redeemable containers. Mr. Colburn will be visiting the Chesterfield Recycling Center on a Wednesday in the near future.

They continue to utilize the Radar Traffic Grant to combat speeders on State roads. He was proud to announce that a Walpole Officer instructed their first D.A.R.E. program at the Walpole Junior High as the students graduated the program on June 11th, 2013. It was a great group of kids and they took the program seriously.
Chief Paquette advised that the front deck on the Police Station was refurbished except for the staining. The new cruiser will be here in 2-to-3 weeks but it will be the end of July before it is on the road as the lights and other equipment will need to be installed. The county is trying to repair the radio reception by making changes on the repeaters. Chief Paquette would like to buy one of the new radios in the fall and a second one next year for the cruisers. It is a safety issue for better communication. The Selectboard approved some vacation time for Chief Paquette.
