Peterborough is holding a recount after one Planning Board candidate won by just one vote in last week’s election.
Although Stephanie Hurley easily won the first of two open three-year positions on the Planning Board with 808 votes, incumbent Sarah Steinberg Heller won the second seat with 502 votes: just one more vote than runner-up Blair Weiss’s 501. Weiss requested the recount late last week after the town’s May 11 vote, Town Clerk Linda Guyette said.
The recount will cover votes for all six candidates for the two three-year positions, Guyette said: Hurley, Steinberg Heller, and Weiss, along with Lisa Stone, Christopher DiLoreto, and Lindsay Dreyer, who received 407, 317, and 350 votes, respectively.

Peterborough’s Article 2 – and a Planning Board candidate who backed it – both won out at Town Meeting Tuesday, as voters passed all warrant articles and elected new members to the Planning, Zoning and Select boards while reelecting Town Clerk Linda Guyette.
New Planning Board member Stephanie Hurley said she hopes to work well with her colleagues after being driven to run for office by unpleasant experiences working with the board as a citizen, after petitions to repeal and/or modify Peterborough’s Traditional Neighborhood Overlay Zones I and II two years ago eventually led to a pair of lawsuits.
Recognizing community partners for their flexibility and adaptation in the face of COVID
This year our community partners had to adapt as much as faculty to changed circumstances. They had to go remote with us, offering remote feedback, engagement and activities. They had to consider whether an internship or project could even be done remotely, redesign entire projects and, in some cases, manage COVID protocols and precautions to allow students to participate directly. We conceived of this COVID-era version of our community partner award while debriefing the semester with Mary Val Palumbo in Nursing. Mary Val was raving about a particular community partner, who had just really taken it on herself to help students complete their service-learning activities. Thanks to the following partner and the professor s story of her work we opened the nominations and are privileged to recognize these 10 partners for continuing to work with us during the pandemic.
