NH Bugs: The Big Three Thursday, September 7, 9:30am, Weare Public Library NH Bugs: The Big Three, presented by Ruth H. Axelrod on behalf of the New Hampshire Cooperative Extension, informs New Hampshire citizens and visitors about three invasive insects of greatest concern to our trees and forests: emerald ash borer, hemlock woolly adelgid and Asian longhorned beetle. This presentation includes information about the life cycles, identifying signs and symptoms of infestations, and management techniques for each pest. Join other Wearites for important information on the damage these invaders can do, and how to stop their spread.

Local Author Night: Ebenezer Mudgett and the Pine Tree Riot, by Connie Evans Thursday, September 14, 7pm, Weare Public Library What does it take for law-abiding men to risk their lives and livelihoods rising against a powerful king and government? The odious Pine Tree Law pushed Ebenezer Mudgett, a forty-six-year old liquor merchant, and his friends, normally circumspect and honorable colonists, to the breaking point. On April 14, 1772, Ebenezer and a small group of resolute settlers lit the fuse to bloody revolution, and ultimately, the independence of millions of Americans. Based on the true story of New Hampshire colonists who defied British rule in the spring of 1772, foreshadowing the Boston Tea Party. Books available to buy and sign.

Sue Tuttle Retires After 26 years of service to the

Town of Weare, Susan Tuthill has decided to retire. She and her husband, retired Police Chief Ed Tuthill, have purchased a new home outside of Myrtle Beach, SC and will be moving there next month.

Fire Chief Robert Vezina sat down to chat with Sue on Thursday, her last day.

Chief: How did you get started in Weare?

Sue: I had answered an ad in the local newspaper that the Fire Department was looking for help. That was in 1991. Back then Chester “Punky” Rhodenizer was the Fire Chief. I worked for him until his passing in 1998. Then I worked for Fire Chiefs Ray Eaton and Robert Richards until I left in September 2004. In April 2005, I returned to work for the Department of Public Works then back to the Fire Department in 2010, where I currently work as an Administrative Assistant.

Chief: You have seen a lot of employees in your time here.

Sue: By my count, I have worked with 5 Fire Chiefs, 7 Police Chiefs, 2 Road Agents, at least 4 Town Administrators, and a multitude of

Firefighters, EMTs, DPW employees, and Police Officers.

Chief: I’ll assume that you enjoyed working with me the most.

Sue: You can assume that. Chief: Do you have any memories

of unusual events here? Sue: There are so many. Years

ago there was the great snake hunt. A pet boa constrictor went missing and each evening some members would look for it. Each morning I would have to check the office to make sure they had not found the snake and hide it in my office to startle me.

As the last few hours ticked by, stories and memories were exchanged. There was the one about the toboggan Sue had purchased to ferry food over the icy roads to a fire scene. That was followed by the story about George, the spirit that haunted the old Center Station. In the end there were more stories than there was time.

Sue, your retirement leaves a great big gap in all our lives and hearts. Speaking for all the men and women of the Weare Fire Rescue Department I wish you good luck and good health in your well-deserved retirement. To say we will miss you is an understatement.
