Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time. I think Abraham Lincoln said that. “I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can … Continue reading
Last Tuesday night, after the results of the election were announced at the polls, Dave Bowers was shaking his head and saying that he couldn’t understand the voters rejecting the asset management plan. Yesterday, that same issue was brought up … Continue reading
I guess it’s too early to expect any earth shattering change in BMH policy. These things take time. Maybe when Dave Senecal gets a chance to add his thoughts to the mix, a way forward will emerge. I think the … Continue reading
It was a sparse group with only three of the five Selectmen present. Sarah Silk, Linda Murray and Chuck Storm. Sarah chaired the meeting and there was no discussion of changing it. I suspect that will happen next meeting or … Continue reading
Tonight will be the first meeting of our new slate of Selectmen. I know that’s not very exciting because the two vacant seats were re-elected unopposed. How is it that somebody can run unopposed and only get 68% of the … Continue reading
Here’s an aside. In the video referenced in the last post, the Chairman was relieved to see that the taxpayers aren’t being asked to provide portable toilets for prospective workers at BMH. Since there are no public toilets in the … Continue reading
Just a reminder to everyone that the Selectmen had put together a list of the absolute minimum repairs needed on BMH. When the estimate came back, it was $321,000 – an amount too large to propose without bonding. So Mr. … Continue reading
That’s how we used to characterize an ill conceived solution to an ill defined problem. Just “Thrown over the Wall”. And that’s one of the reasons that I continue to have no confidence in the process that is being used … Continue reading
Or just plain confusion? It looks like the initial thrust to discredit the results of the article 30 referendum will be obfuscation. Make the claim that it’s useless because it doesn’t indicate a clear path forward. That misses the point … Continue reading
The cyberspace has been alive with criticism of my efforts to put the non-binding article 30 referendum on the ballot. Let me make a few points: 1) I did not write any letters to the paper in support or against … Continue reading

I was waiting to see how the Grunter would react to the results of
I’m not going to say anything about the results until after the dust settles
It was a poor turnout with 1,390 voters doing the town’s business.
Talking to Randy Walker at the polls this morning and he agreed that
Seems like the stage is set for the showdown Tuesday. I really have no idea
I was expecting more fireworks in the Grunter this week.
Allen Kasiewicz posted some old correspondence
Here’s a letter from Suzanne Ryan:
This was posted for Kathy in the comments section of another post. I think it deserves to be front and center for awhile. While on the subject, let’s make the theme of this week of run-up to the election guest … Continue reading
Question 30a on the March 13 ballot will determine if we rerun the fiasco of 5 years ago or not. Do you support restoration of Brewster Memorial Hall to serve as Town Offices? It’s arguable whether everyone understood the warrant … Continue reading
Back in the 1990s after we had just bought our place in Wolfeboro, my wife and I
All of these arguments about health and safety are just a distraction from
Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. I was looking back at
I got an email asking where the BMH air quality study is. It is referenced in the Deliberative postbb
Much emphasis has been placed on the results of the last repair warrant article
That’s what the writer said in a recent letter to the paper. We should step up
At the Deliberative session, my old pal Judy couldn’t contain herself
I’ve been thinking about the amendment that was made to
I didn’t mention that there was a leaflet passed out at the door
For those of you who did not attend the deliberative session last night
Some of us are skeptical about building construction projects that are proposed at town meeting. I didn’t become cynical overnight. It took a few years
I’m not sure why there is a huge increased interest in
One of the big issues with BMH seems to be mold. Well, not so much the mold as
Digging through my pile of old documents, I came upon the hazardous materials report
Not a commentary on anything in particular, it’s just that I have my annual post holiday cold and not really up to posting. I did however submit the petition referendum warrant today.
Four years ago, after we blew $500,000 on the failed article 9 restoration, some

You may have noticed the new header picture at the top of the blog. It shows before/after images of a potential new town office building a block away from BMH on our town property on Lehner St. The images of … Continue reading
