Such building did not take place in Mered- ith, but will be coming up on the radar. Li- brary officials have addressed numerous building needs that will be further discussed in the planning process. The town will also have to address road repairs in the upcoming budget after years of deferrals. Selectmen did approve a sewer ordinance around Lake Waukewan proposed by the Waukewan Wa- tershed Advisory Committee for the past few years. Perhaps this was the year of “let’s work to resolve this,” or maybe the year of “get this over with.” Regardless, several issues were put to bed, though new ones always have a habit of coming up. Hopefully, officials and towns- people have learned from these processes to come up with better systems of discussion and compromise. Then again, every new issue has its own unique qualities.

SANDWICH — Story- teller Cora Jo Ciampi, from the Great North Woods of New Hampshire, will have you grin- ning from ear-to-ear with some light-hearted holiday tales at the Corner House Inn’s Story- telling Dinner program on Thursday evening, Jan. 3. Sto- rytelling for Ciampi comes as natural as mud puddles and kids, having spun tales all her life - and professionally since 1980. She writes many of her own stories and loves humor. She likes to say she has been telling at the Corner House for a racoon’s age! An audience fa- vorite, she often appears in tan- dem with her sister, Lauretta Phillips (a renowned storyteller in her own right), and together call themselves “Sisters Too.” Audiences will agree, they tell some wild tales! Ciampi has been known to travel just about anywhere to tell a good story. “My grandmother told sto- ries about everything. The car- rots, the tomatoes, the tomato worms. Later I had children, and to add to the wonder, I started telling stories too,” says Ciampi. “Storytelling keeps me growing and learning and changing, so my stories are al- ways new. There isn’t a day that goes by that a story doesn’t present itself to me.” A number of years ago, Ciampi moved east from the Big Sky Country of Montana to Weare, and eventually dragged her husband north to Gorham, where they now live on the An- droscoggin River with their very fat cat, Gata. The Storytelling Dinners are held every Thursday evening at the Corner House Inn from late October through May. The Storytelling Dinner begins at 6:30 p.m., and the price is $19.95 per person, plus tax & gratuity. For more infor- mation and reservations con- tact the Corner House in Cen- ter Sandwich at 284-6219 or online at info@cornerhouse- inn.com.
