The Great American Voter Trek
In an effort to highlight the importance of
voting, seven students from Vermont's leading colleges and
universities, including Gilmanton Native, Matt Healy, are bicycling
across country from Vermont, the Green Mountain State, to Wyoming,
the Equality State, to register as many voters as possible for the
2008 presidential election.
They departed Vermont on June 16 and will arrive
in Laramie, WY, on July 31 for a culminating event.
Cabot Cheese and other Vermont companies
sponsored the six week-long event.

The summer Music Special features songs not heard on the radio and
includes music from Hawaii, Calypso, Oldies, Easy, Showtunes,
Television, Polkas, Classic Country, Instrumentals and is the
perfect soundtrack for family reunions, pool parties, cook-outs,

Disc Jockey and family anywhere in the world can listen," commented
Joe Laurendeau, the producer and director or the music broadcast.
Joe and Kristi Laurendeau of Gilmanton, NH, have
been broadcasting music on the internet since June of 2006, and are
celebrating their second year of music fun. Even their children get
in on the fun with radio ads, promos, and production. Every Friday
night at 6 p.m. and Saturday night their "Weekend Jukebox" features
music not heard during the week, including Classic Rock, New
Country, Disco, Rockin' Oldies and Comedy and encourages requests
and dedications.
Requests are always welcome and listeners can
design their own "music party" for birthdays, anniversaries or any

times. The music broadcast is funded by the Laurendeau family and
listener contributions.

By Carolyn Baldwin
The following summary, compiled by Carolyn
Baldwin, is drawn from the minutes of Gilmanton Selectmen's meetings
of May 19 and June 2, 2008. (The selectmen meet on alternate Mondays
during the summer. ) Complete copies of all minutes are available at
the Selectmen's Office during their business hours and can be viewed
on line at the Town's website:
www.gilmantonnh.org
Special Town Meeting. The planning board
has redrafted Article VII of the zoning ordinance in an attempt to
correct problems created by an oversight in the draft adopted at the
March Town Meeting. After a second public hearing, and much
discussion, the selectmen voted, at a meeting on June 23, to go
forward with a special town meeting on July 22, asking voters to
approve the redrafted article. It will be a ballot vote. There will
be no floor meeting, and this will be the only item on the ballot.
Town Wide Cleanup. Brenda McBride reported
that the Town Wide Cleanup resulted in a total of 671 bags, along
with a sofa, dehumidifier, air conditioner, bundle of siding and bag
of insulation, 2 bicycles, 2 batteries, 12 tires, 2 beer stashes, 2
windows. 141 school children with accompanying adults plus an
additional 70 townspeople participated. The town expects to receive
2 elm trees for its participation in the program.
Single Stream recycling. After discussion
with Recycling facility manager Doug Kapplain and Stan Bean, chair
of the recycling facility advisory committee, it was decided to cast
the Town's vote against the proposed shift to single-stream
recycling.
GYO Flag Pole dedication. The flagpole at
GYO Park was dedicated on June 14th to Nick Cournoyer, a
town serviceman who died in Iraq. It will be lighted.
Appointments to Boards and Committees. The
selectmen are looking for volunteers to serve on various town
committees and boards, including the Historic District Commission.
Old Town Hall Study Committee. Town
Meeting voted to appoint a study committee to determine the
feasibility of uses, especially police, for Old Town Hall in the
Iron Works. Committee members include Israel Willard, Stan Bean,
John Dickey and Don Guarino as selectmen's representative. Bat
control continues to be a problem in the building.
The selectmen received 19 bids for a replacement
septic system at Old Town Hall. Bids ranged from around $11,000 to
$23,000. The selectmen accepted the bid from D.L. Docko for $11,900.
Town Offices. The selectmen reviewed
recommendations following the annual sprinkler system inspection at
the Academy. Costs for repairs and upgrades were several thousand
dollars. George Roberts, of the Historic District Commission,
suggested plantings around the site of the new vault.
The
Gilmanton Community Church
Submitted
By The Rev. Linda Bolton
We are deeply grateful for the donations we are
receiving from our Gilmanton community for the Food Pantry. As
everyone knows, the economy is in a state of turmoil and the Pantry
is quite depleted every time we are open. We urgently need regular
donations of food and/or money to continue to meet the needs of
those in our town who are struggling! We invite you to leave food
(please, nothing out of date) in the entry to the Iron Works Church
or to send donations to the Gilmanton Community Church at Box 6,
G.I.W., 03837. Thank you so much for your compassion and willingness
to help! The Food Pantry will be open July 12, 26 and August 9, 23
from 10 to 12 a.m. at the Iron Works Church on Route 140. If you
have an emergency need for food, please call Jane at 364-7437 or
Sharon at 267-5934.
Our very famous Strawberry Shortcake Fair will be
on July 4th at the Corner Church undercroft, immediately following
the parade (10:30 - 12:30). Our strawberries are freshly picked -
biscuits homemade and we use real whipped cream! We have run out for
the last two years, so come early! We also will have an Attic
Treasures Table, Jewelry, Books, home-baked items, Children's table
and more! We look forward to the joy of meeting many old and new
friends on this glorious day of the celebration of our Declaration
of Independence!
Our great Chicken & Rib Barbecue will be on
Saturday, July 12 from 5 to 6:30 p.m.! As many know, we are hosting
a community (and beyond) dinner on the second Saturday of each month
from January through October! With gas prices soaring it has been a
great opportunity to provide a wonderful night out, delicious food
and a place to gather with others right here in town! We have been
blessed to have so many attend these evenings and celebrate the
privilege of providing good food and hospitality to all who come! As
you might know it is quite difficult to meet the expenses of our two
sanctuaries with oil costs growing every day. These dinners provide
our guests with the opportunity to help us so that we can continue
to maintain our facilities which host many nonprofit meetings free
of charge for scouting, 4-H and more. Thank you all!
During the summer months we are worshiping at the
Corner Church which is next to the Academy on Route 107. Our
services are at 9:30 a.m. and we continue to provide a time for
children in worship with childcare following. Pastor Linda will be
preaching on July 6, July 27, August 27 and 24. Pastor Bolster will
be preaching on July 13, August 3 and August 31. Our Deacons and lay
ministers will be leading worship on July 20 and August 10th. We
invite you to gather with us for worship! You will feel the joy of
the Lord and be blessed!
Our Vacation Bible Camp will be held from July 7
through the 11th. Presently we are in great need of adult and older
teen (grades 7 and up) help! Please call Pam at 364-5568 or the
church office at 364-7891. This is at our Iron Works Church from
8:45 to 12 noon. A joyful time for all who participate! For children
ages 4 through finishing the 6th grade.
