Volunteers Needed

Orangeites have been stepping up to get our Town back to normal. You'll be hearing more about that in the weeks to come. Meanwhile, more stepping-up is needed. The good news, is, a little effort goes a long way, and we're not talking about a huge commitment if you don't have the time.

Salary Study Committee: Danny Hazelton needs four volunteers to serve on this committee, which sets the pay levels for the Town. It's a great way to see how local government works. And Danny says the committee plans to meet no more than twice. It should complete its work by December. Danny: dmhazelton@hotmail.com, 523-4268.

Delivering Meals: Anita Watson Garland reminds us that the Senior Center needs drivers and runners to deliver meals in Orange and Canaan. You may sign up to do this daily, weekly, or even just once a month. Anita: anitawats@hotmail.com, 523-7141.

Large Trash Pickup Tomorrow (Friday)

That's Friday, not Saturday. Start lugging that big trash!

Select Board Minutes for the July 28 Meeting

You'll find them here. Along with her minutes, Sandi Pierson included a photo of a double rainbow, taken from the Cardigan summit by Dorothy Heinrichs. 

Get Rid of that Hazardous Waste

Betty Fulton reminds us that this Saturday, August 22, Orange residents can turn in hazardous waste at the Canaan Transfer Station off Cardigan Mountain Road. You'll need to pay a fee of $25.

The facility is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. "A great time to get rid of that old paint, etc.," Betty says.

Back on Schedule

The Select Board had been meeting weekly to help straighten out the Town's affairs. It's now decided to go back to its usual biweekly schedule, the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month.

Next meeting: 7pm Tuesday, August 11.
