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.
Having recently observed World Immunization Week, letâs review the history of vaccination. One thousand years ago, when a wave of smallpox hit India, something extraordinary happened: People lined up to buy the disease.
Healers used a cloth to rub a healthy personâs upper arm. Then, theyâd scratch it â just enough to draw blood. The healers would then apply dried smallpox scabs to the area. But hereâs the thing: They would only apply scabs from smallpox patients who had survived the disease.
Though people âvaccinatedâ this way would often get sick, most would survive infection and go on to build immunity. (Today, most vaccines in use, including the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccines, are not live vaccines and cannot infect you with the virus they inoculate against.)

Study leads to £3.4billion investment in Scottish affordable housing
A study by the University of Liverpool has resulted in the investment of £3.4billion into affordable new homes by the Scottish Government.
Researchers from the Department of Geography & Planning were commissioned by the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, Shelter Scotland and Chartered Institute of Housing Scotland to undertake research into housing needs in Scotland
They identified the need for 10,600 dwellings per annum, or 53,000 over the period 2021-26 which would require approximately £3.4bn investment.
They also recommended that the geography of housing in Scotland needs to be addressed due to the much larger overall housing need in and around Edinburgh and Glasgow rather than in other parts of Scotland. New affordable housing also needs to reflect the changing demographic structure in Scotland with more accommodation needed for older people.
