April 24, 2008 Opinion Winnisquam Echo ■ EDITORIAL ■ Sant Bani offers summer program Plea for votes not so hot

When we first picked up the press release sent to us by the Sanbornton Fire Department, the immediate thought was that something terrible had happened, because for as long as we can remember, the SFD has never sent out press releases about fires. Some departments do, some don’t. But for one that doesn’t, tragedy seems imminent. It turns out that no one was hurt. That’s good news, but it begged the question, why fax this par- ticular news to us? After reading the release, it was clear, according to the document, that SFD had done a great job re- sponding and putting out the fire. It took three minutes before the first firefighter was on the scene, nine minutes before a fire truck arrived. SFD and mutual aid towns got the fire under control quickly. There was no indication that a family of six had COURTESY PHOTO been left homeless, as we later found out. Instead, Teacher Rose Marie Marinace instructs students in her summer Study Skills course at Sant Bani’s first summer program last year. there was a paragraph explaining that the quick response time was made possible by the voters who SANBORNTON — The through eight in September and artistic ranging from [email protected].
