CONWAY’S DELAYED ELECTION HELD WITH GREAT TURNOUT:

The Conway election was held yesterday and the turnout was better than ever despite the delay caused by COVID-19.  A normal election held in April attracts from 1,200 to 1,500 voters and this year there was a total of 1,457 ballots cast.  In general most of the capital improvements were turned down which will help Conway financially.  Mary Seavey and David Weathers will return to the board of selectmen.  Rodney King is police commissioner and new to the planning board are Earle Sires IV and Ailie Byers.  Elected to the budget committee are the familiar faces of David Jensen and James LeFebvre.  Erik Corbett and Peter Donohoe also won their seats.  Jess Whitelaw, Michelle Capozzoli and Joe Mosca return to the school board unopposed.

DENTAL OFFICES GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO REOPEN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE:

Most dental offices in the state shut down voluntarily in March except for emergency visits because of the risk of COVID-19 and its unknown factors.  They’ve now been given the green light to reopen in New Hampshire.  In previous discussions with the governor, he spoke about the invasive nature of dentistry and that he was working with individuals all over the industry in New Hampshire to create guidelines for safety and what may be mandated for patients and staff for them to reopen safely.  That day is here.

Governor Sununu announced today that dentists’ offices will be allowed to reopen in New Hampshire if they wish to do so beginning Monday.   There are now guidelines in place to reopen with safety precautions in place.  Governor Sununu shares the cooperation that went into making the decision to open this business category: “This was vetted and approved by the Department of Public Health.  It has stakeholder buy-in from folks across the industry, whether it be dental hygienists, oral surgeons, a variety of folks really came together, especially over this past week, working with our reopen New Hampshire task force to create a document working with the public health, gives, I think, a lot of folks of competence as we go forward to make this opportunity available to the citizens.” 

Last week alone there were thousands of online requests for millions of masks, part of the PPE help coming to help reopen businesses in New Hampshire.  The governor spoke about New Hampshire’s current orders for masks and says they’re steadily coming in.  He says, “The state is working directly with the dental offices themselves to offer assistance in securing PPE, to that they and their patients can work in a safe environment.”

 When asked, Health Commissioner Lori Shibinette said the guidelines are specific to keeping everyone that may be working or visiting a dental office safe and if there were any reason for concern about an outbreak of COVID-19 health officials would issue and alert. 

Patients should be in touch directly with their own dentists and see when their individual offices will open.

SUPERINTENDENT KEVIN RICHARDS HINTS AT KENNETT GRADUATION PLANS

This time of celebration for high school seniors has been anything but ordinary; but behind the scenes there’s a special committee working hard to make graduation more memorable for all Kennett High seniors.   Kevin Richards, Superintendent of Schools tells Mount Washington Radio Group’s Ron Frizzell: “The committee has formed up of parents, teachers, administration and a school board member. We do have a few things that we’re taking a look at. Hopefully we’ll have a definitive answer here pretty soon.  Within a week we’ll know one way or another.  (it’s) Pretty exciting if we are able to pull off what I think we’re going to.”  He goes on to say that the plans revolve around doing something on site, practicing social distancing and mitigating any groupings.

At the School Board Meeting on Monday Kevin Richards and his special committee hope to put forth their plans to gain approval and start moving forward with organizing.   But for now Superintendent Richards says, “It’ll be very exciting if we can do what we hope to do. But, I don’t want to put it out there and have to reel it back because that would be bad.”
