There’s a new Station 16 in Jaffrey.
Before this summer, if you were talking about Station 16, it would be the Jaffrey Fire Department you were referring to – that’s the station radio call sign. But now, from April to August, if you mention Station 16, it’s more likely to be referring to a portable ice cream stand that has popped up on Peterborough Street, in place of the former Tyler’s Ice Cream.
The name is no coincidence. Chastity Hodgson and her father, Keith Dupuis, who are partners in the venture along with Chastity’s husband Steven and her mother Leah Dupuis, are long-time members of the Jaffrey Fire Department.

A $32 million settlement in a class-action suit filed by six New Hampshire residents with psychiatric disabilities against the state is a milestone case for New Hampshire, according to local interested parties who have been following it.
“I think it’s a positive outcome for the citizens, shoring up services that are more humane and less costly than institutionalized care, and I think that’s good for the people of the state,” said Phillip Wyzik, CEO of Monadnock Family Services, which provides mental health services for the Monadnock area.
Advocates Building Lasting Equality in New Hampshire President Linda Quintanilha of Bennington concurs.

Temple Selectwoman Gail Cromwell is defending her right to address issues with elected officials in public session.
Recently, Cromwell’s fellow board members Ken Caisse and Chair George Willard took issue with Cromwell bringing up issues with the town’s treasurer, Shannon Kelley, during a public Select Board meeting, suggesting that it would have been more appropriate to discuss it in a non-public session.
The disagreement came on the heels of a larger issue of multiple town employees and public officials resigning their positions, claiming conflict with Cromwell as the main cause. While two of the women – one of whom is Kelley – have since agreed to stay on in their jobs while the board attempts to craft policy to help ease the situation, Town Clerk Wendy Drouin and Deputy Clerk Jeanne Whitcomb have resigned their positions permanently.

The owners of an oil tank in Peterborough often painted and used as a sign, will go to the zoning board in search of a variance to allow it to continue.
“We’ll see what they have to say next,” said Sally Eneguess in an interview Tuesday.
Sally and Sandy Eneguess, owners of the oil drum, were found in violation of a town ordinance last week and ordered to repaint or roll over the sign. told by the town to paint over the tank, because it exceeds the town’s ordinance on sign size. They are asking that they be allowed to use it to advertise nonprofit and town events up to four weeks before they occur.
