Vehicle Registration, Green-up, Coyotes, and Broadband

Some residents have been asking when online vehicle registration will be enabled on this site. Sophie Seace has been hard at work to make it happen. The town's lawyers have looked at the proposed vendor contract and have some questions. During the Select Board meeting of April 24, the Selectmen authorized attorney Jenn Hartman to follow up with Sophie and the vendor, IDC. Stay tuned.

If you have driven by the Town House you will notice that Green-up Day was a great success. The Board sends out a big thank you to all the participants who raked, cleaned, worked in the garden, and hauled away debris. Participants included Tamara Fairbank, Gary Hamel, Chris Hausfeld, Dorothy Heinrichs, Judith Lindahl, Ernie Mills, Sandi Pierson, Sharon Proulx, and Doug and Trish Weekes. Canines Cuckoo and Lily provided comic relief and Jay Heinrichs magically appeared with all the fixings for a make-it-yourself ice cream sundae social. A great time was had by all!

I dropped off a Coyote presentation flyer at the Enfield Library and the librarian there told me that they also had Chris Schadler speak and that it was one of the most entertaining, informative, interesting presentations she had ever been to. We are happy to remind you that Ms. Schadler will be doing the Eastern Coyote presentation here at the Orange Town House on Sunday, May 21 at 6:30. (Goodies at 6:30, program at 7.) This is sponsored by the Conservation Commission. We know many of you showed up a couple of weeks ago for the program and that it was unexpectedly postponed-- we hope you'll come again.

A message from Planning Board Secretary Bob Proulx: On Tuesday, May 16, 2017 at 7 PM the Orange Planning Board will be hosting an informational meeting with John Stevens from the NH Department of Safety.

At this time, he is seeking input from the members of the Planning Board, Select Board, and interested citizens.

Finally, the Mascoma School District's Apportionment Sub-committee will be meeting at the high school on Monday, May 15 at 6 PM.
