2018 Annual Report
Belknap County New Hampshire 2018 Annual Report Belknap County Seal The seal of Belknap County was commissioned in the latter part of 1976, the year of our nation’s bicentennial, and adopted in February of 1977. Designed and executed by Mr. Norman M. Dexter of Nashua, who donated his services to Belknap County, the seal includes several symbols important to the county and its history. Depicted on the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee, the largest body of fresh water in the northeast (which touches the shores of just about every town and city in the county) is the old paddle wheeler Mount Washington. The Mount graced the Big Lake until 1939, when it was destroyed by fire. Yet, to this day it continues to serve as a symbol of the grace, dignity and unique New England character for which the people and the area are known throughout the country. It could be said that the Mount stands for the commerce the Lake has provided for our people, going back to the fishing days of the Indians; for the many recreation and leisure time activities the county has offered its many visitors from throughout the world; and for the great creativity with which the people of Belknap County have used these natural resources to their ultimate advantage and prosperity. The rising sun – a symbol of hope and renewal as well as the blessings of a patient, graceful Providence – is shown bursting forth over the Mount Belknap, which lies just east of the center in the county. The Mountain is named for Dr. -
Governor Sununu, We, the Undersigned
Governor Sununu, We, the undersigned Democrats in the New Hampshire House, implore you to immediately issue a “stay-at-home” order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in New Hampshire. As our hospitals and the mayors of our largest cities have noted, every day that passes without a stay- at-home directive brings exponential growth to the health risks faced by Granite Staters, and unsustainable pressure on New Hampshire’s healthcare services which will lead to unnecessary loss of life. As you have acknowledged, we likely remain far from the peak of COVID-19 infections in New Hampshire. Many of us own or work at small businesses and understand that ordering non-essential businesses to close is a drastic step that will exacerbate the disruption COVID-19 has already brought to everyday life. However, as we have seen in other countries and other states, taking decisive action will slow the spread of the virus, save lives and allow our economy to rebound stronger and faster. The steps we have taken so far, which include telling people to keep their social gatherings to under 10 people, are simply not enough. Monday’s announcement of the first death from COVID-19 in New Hampshire emphasizes the urgency in our communities to take decisive steps to combat this deadly virus. Closing non- essential businesses and ordering people to stay at home are bold steps critical to that effort. Please join the states across America, including our neighbors Massachusetts and Vermont, that have taken these critical steps to slow the spread of COVID-19. -

Her Excellency, Governor Margaret Wood Hassan, joined the Speaker on the rostrum for the day’s opening ceremonies. MOMENT OF SILENCE The House observed a moment of silence to honor and remember the victims of the Paris attacks. Prayer was offered by Paul C. Smith, Clerk of the House. O God, the Grand Governor of all, we come before You today with heavy hearts from the recent bloodshed on French soil, but hearts full of purpose as we meet today to discuss the epidemic that has affected many of us in this Chamber in one way or another. Please touch the lives of those afflicted by addiction, bless those who work to aid those in sickness and comfort those families who have suffered loss. Let us join the call for peace and unity in this troubled time and be beseech thee, O God, to hold back the hands that kill and maim and turn around the hearts that hate, granting Your strong spirit of peace; peace that passes our understanding but changes lives. We also pray for our House Chaplain Kate today, unable to be with us as she underwent emergency surgery this week. Please grant her comfort and speedy recovery. All this we ask, almighty Creator, in peace and purpose. Amen. -
