Over the past few years, Barnstead voters have turned down a wide number of projects, from a school expansion and renovation to a new munici- pal building. We completely understand the rea- soning behind these votes. Voters in Barnstead don’t have the wide tax base that their neighbors in Alton have, meaning each and every expendi- ture comes down a lot harder on a taxpayer in Barnstead than it would on a taxpayer in Alton. With that in mind, the $3.3 million proposal for the new municipal building, which would have housed the town offices and the police depart- ment, was certainly out of the reach of most vot- ers, which is why it failed to attract enough votes in the affirmative at Town Meeting. The idea Grillo came forward with for his fellow board members is seemingly a much cheaper alternative and one that would solve the obvious BRENDAN BERUBE ■ space crunch that is occurring at the Barnstead An evening with the Count Town Hall. Additionally, the aging building is The Lord of the Undead himself, Count Dracula (played by David Allyn) made a surprise appearance at the New Durham Library’s ‘Dracula Lives!’ expensive to heat.

The Conscious Consumer

Think about which three independently owned businesses you’d miss most if they were gone. Stop in and say hello. Pick up something that will make someone smile. Your contribution is what keeps those businesses around.

For every $100 spent in independently owned stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here (or in the case of Wolfeboro, THERE). Spend it online and nothing comes home.

Wolfeboro is lucky to have many independently owned businesses. They attract our summer tourists with the products they offer and keep our town looking and working like the small New England village they visited years ago. We support our local charities and arts groups, and employ our neighbors.

At Cornish Hill Pottery , I create beautiful functional pottery. It is made on the premises and sold on the premises. It never travels until it has been sold and tucked into someone’s shopping bag! Stoneware pottery has the potential to last thousands of years. It adds beauty to your daily life. I love making pottery, and I am grateful to my customers for making it all possible! Keep our local economy beautiful!
