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.

Ward profiles 2021: Windmill Hill â âThe best thing is locals are really involved in the areaâ

Marks are etched into the tarmac at the bottom of Vale Street from countless tyres struggling to grip the vertiginous incline.
Englandâs steepest residential street may not have its own Banksy anymore, but it still has plenty going for it, including the annual egg rolling event, picturesque houses with enviable views and a community space and orchard on the adjoining Park Street.
While Vale Street is officially the steepest, Totterdown is renowned for its precipitous, narrow residential roads â anyone who has ever had to walk down in icy conditions will be all too aware of how apt the name of the area is.
SEVIERVILLE â In addition to teaching Spanish language, culture and history, Lisa Stone oversees projects ranging from Easter egg coloring to collection of plastic bottle caps.
The Sevier County High School teacher was recently recognized with a national award, the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese Secondary Teacher of the Year.
âWe have a state chapter,â Stone said of the association. âEach state nominates one person, and the state board chose me. That was an honor in itself. I was blown away by that.â
Stone teaches Spanish I-IV at SCHS, the school sheâs been at since 2001. She previously taught at Seymour High School for three years.
