Household Hazardous Waste

Submitted by B. McBride

Gilmanton Residents

Take responsible action to protect your family's health and the health of your community. You can reduce the risk of toxic substances getting into our ground and surface waters. Contamination of our environment is a very real threat through the improper disposal of household hazardous wastes. Improper disposal of these wastes in our Transfer Station compactor puts our attendant haulers, and handlers at the Penacook Incinerator at risk. Most treatment plants and our leachfields are incapable of processing the chemicals in hazardous waste. The result is eventual contamination of our groundwater upon which everyone is dependent. Think about proper disposal of hazardous wastes every time you take a drink of water, swim in our lakes, fish in our streams.

See you on 7/26, Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Belmont Fire Station on Rte. 140 near Rte. 106. Gilmanton residents can bring up to 10 gal./50 lbs. of the dangerous products listed in the guides that are available at many locations in town or visit www.lakesrpc.org for more information.

The MacDonald Family Singers

The MacDonald Family Singers, a volunteer ministry, has been performing publicly for 12 years. This homeschooling family - made up of ten members, with eight children ranging in age from 8 to 23 started with just a vocal program. As the children grew, instruments and more musical styles were added. They generally bring 15-20 instruments to their concerts, including a keyboard, banjo, guitar, mandolin, upright bass, trumpets, trombone, tuba, and harmonica. Their repertoire includes original Scripture melodies, yodeling, a cappella hymns, traditional, gospel bluegrass, and sacred classical.

With the purchase of a bus in 2003, the MacDonald family has had the opportunity to make several cross-country singing tours per year. Their first album was completed in 2005 and is now available for free download. They are currently working on a second album.

The MacDonalds count it a privilege to share the Gospel message of Jesus Christ wherever they go. Victor and Laurie, the parents, became born-again Bible believers as youngsters and committeed their lives to Christ at an early age. Music has always been a part of their lives, and now their children share in giving their musical talents to the Lord's work.

For additional information and to listen to samples of their music, check out their website: www.macdonaldfamilysingers.com. Questions about the concert can be answered by calling the Gilmanton Community Church at: 365-7891.

Gilmanton In The 1890s, At Gilmanton Historical Society

Long-time Gilmanton summer resident Pat Clarke has compiled a program drawn from reports about the Town published in the local newspapers of the 1890s. Excerpts by readers John Dickey, Carolyn Dickey, Paula Gilman and Carolyn Baldwin, will be illustrated with photographs from the period.

The program begins at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 22nd at the Old Town Hall in Gilmanton Iron Works. The program is preceded by a social hour and refreshments beginning at 7 p.m. (Note: The location has been changed because of the special Town Meeting held that day at the Academy).

Gilmanton folk of the decade waited in vain for the railroad to come to Town, and complained about the roads. Farming continued, and for a few years a creamery organized by Dr. Kitchen produced butter for market. Manufacturing produced the Hussey plow, shoes, shingles and other wood products, and plenty of cider. A hotel, The Mountain View, in Gilmanton Corners, failed, and then burned. The Academy building burned on the eve of its centenary celebration, and was rebuilt in 9 months. Entertainment and politics played a role, and the infamous "Dr. Holmes" born as Herman Mudgett in Gilmanton, brought unwelcome notoriety.

The program should be both entertaining and informative. If you miss the July 22nd program, you will have another opportunity. At the invitation of the Old Home Day Committee, the program will be repeated on Saturday evening, August 16th, 7 p.m. at Smith Meeting House.

The Society's summer programs are scheduled on the fourth Tuesday of each month, May through September. August 26th, Prof. R. Stuart Wallace examines the role of railroads in New Hampshire History in a program entitled Annihilating Distance: Railroads and the Development of Industrial New Hampshire. September 23rd brings us a presentation by Colin Cabot on the history and revival of Sanborn Mills Farm in Loudon, following up on our field trip several years ago.

If you did not receive a flier describing the Society and its programs, pick one up at the Town Office or call President John Dickey at 267-6098. Information is posted on the Society's web site, www.historicalsocietiesnh.org/Gilmanton  or follow the link from the Town's website: www.Gilmantonnh.org.

All are welcome at the summer series programs. There is no charge, but donations are welcome to support the Society's programs. The Society's publications are for sale at every program, summer events, and at the office of the Town Clerk.
