Cemetery Trustees send thanks for new well house

Through a very generous donation from Falcon Sheds, located on Rte. 125 in Brentwood, Tonry Cemetery on Middle Road has a new well house. The previous well house was in need of major repairs and this donation was a welcome alternative. The Cemetery Trustees would like to thank the following people for their efforts:• Kip Kaiser and Karen Clement for securing the well house

donation• Bruce Hermenau for plumbing in the well pump and getting

us up and running• Raymond Electric for installing our new low-water shut-off

switch (may we never ruin our pump again when the well runs dry)

• Epping Well & Pump for setting us up with the supplies that we needed

We greatly appreciate all the time and efforts of everyone involved to complete this project.

Joyce Keegal for the Cemetery Trustees

A letter of appreciation

Because I am a neighbor of Becky Dunham, I have helped a little with the editing of the new history of Brentwood book. First of all, I would like to make a plug for the book – its wonderful stories and photos will interest adults and children of all ages. It is a solid book of almost 600 pages (Becky has told me the price will be very reasonable), and I can’t even begin to imagine the thousands of hours given by the core group of writers, editors, and photographers. However, like the two centuries of Brentwood’s volunteers whose stories you will read, none of them will want to be recognized. Nonetheless, I will sneak in my own thank-you to Robin Wrighton, who donated her time and professional knowledge for the entire layout and design. The book is a verbal and visual treat, and I have both enjoyed and learned from getting a sneak preview of this new best-seller.It has been a pleasure to live in Brentwood for so many years. Happy reading to all,

Polly MacMullen - 312 Middle Road

The new town history book is on the way

The Brentwood 275th Anniversary Book Committee is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Brentwood, New Hampshire, Through the Years, 1742-2017. The creation of this magnificent book is the Historical Society’s contribution to the town’s 275th Anniversary. We hope you are looking forward to purchasing a copy (or more) of this special book!

Brentwood Through the Years is a hard cover, 8 ½ x 11 book of 590 pages with more than 600 black and white and color photos (vintage as well as current). This book is filled with Brentwood facts and historical tidbits, diary excerpts, descriptions of historic events, family histories, stories of the struggles and hardships of early residents, plus a whole lot more. An entire chapter is dedicated to the biographies of notable citizens who are part of our town’s story. In addition, it includes up-to-date facts and photos, as well as current and historic maps.

This wonderful book is the work of close to 100 volunteers who gave countless hours researching, writing, editing, designing, and proofing the information. It is not an interpretation of our history, but a chronicle of the town’s founding, growth, its people, and their determination to prosper. Have you ever wondered:

What is Brentwood’s connection to Robert Frost?Did Brentwood ever have a post office?Where and when did the B-52 bomber crash?Why do we have flags on flagpoles on Middle Road and Dalton Road part of the year?What did a cordwainer do for a living?Where was “The Avenue?”Why are there so many cemeteries in town?Where were the two drive-in theaters located?When were scout troops, boys and girls, established in Brentwood?

Buy a copy and find the answers to these fascinating questions. Copies can be purchased September 16 during the town celebration at the Community Center, at the Town Offices, and through the Brentwood Historical Society and its webpage www.brentwoodnhhistory.org.

For all this content, the price is an amazingly low $25.00. For more information, see the BHS website or send an email to [email protected].

Graduate News from Exeter High School

The name of Jocelyn Rizzo was unfortunately omitted from the high school’s listing of Brentwood graduates, which we printed in the July-August issue of the Newsletter. Jocelyn not only completed the curriculum for a high school Diploma, but also earned a Certificate from the Seacoast School of Technology.

Does Exeter Adult Education have a program for you?

Many people think Exeter Adult Education is a separate organization, but it is actually a strong, active part of the Exeter Region Coop School District. (SAU 16). At this time of the year they are sending word about 1) the High School Equivalency and Academic Skills Courses, and 2) their English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESL) classes.

High School Equivalency and Academic Skills coursesHiSET® (High School Equivalency Test) has replaced the GED in NH and many other states. Like the GED, it provides an opportunity to study for and earn a New Hampshire high school equivalency certificate. Adults who did not complete high school or who need to improve reading, writing, or math skills for personal or professional growth are encouraged to come back to school. Because school may not have been a positive experience the first time, returning to school may sound uncomfortable. Yet many adults from ages 18 to 75 have taken the courageous step to get their high school equivalency certificate or to improve their spelling, reading and math.Some people come to school because they need a high school equivalency or other certification to get a job or to prepare for job training or college. Others want to be able to help their own children but need to improve their own skills first. Whatever the reason, it’s not too late, and Exeter Adult Education staff can help each step of the way.

Adult Academic Skills and HiSET Preparation day classes meet on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to Noon. Evening classes meet on Monday and Thursday from 6:30-9 p.m. The first Fall session registration is on Monday, September 11 at 9 a.m. for day classes and 6:30 p.m. for evening classes. If you are unable to attend the first registration session in September, please call the Exeter Adult Education office to set up an appointment to come in and register for classes. They have open, ongoing registration for the Academic Skills and ESL programs throughout the year.

Academic Skills and HiSET classes are free. All classes meet at the Tuck Learning Campus, Entrance D, 30 Linden Street, Exeter. For more information, please call Exeter Adult Education at 603-775-8457 or visit the website at http://adulted.sau16.org.

English-ESL classes for adults

Non-native speakers of English are welcome to join Exeter Adult Education’s English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESL) classes. Beginner through advanced English language learners can improve their English speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and pronunciation skills. Multiple levels of instruction are offered. ELS classes provide a wonderful opportunity to meet other adults from around the world and to make new friends.ESL classes are held at Exeter Adult Education at the Tuck Learning Campus, Entrance D, 30 Linden Street, Exeter. Day classes meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 9 – 11 a.m. Evening classes meet Monday and Thursday from 6:30 – 9 p.m. ESL class placement is determined by an intake assessment, so all prospective students should plan to attend registration. Classes are free and open to all NH residents. The first semester registration for day and evening classes is Monday, September 11 at 9 a.m. for the day program and 6:30 p.m. for the evening program. If you are unable to attend the first registration session in September, please call the Exeter Adult Education office (603-775-8457) to set up an appointment to come in and register for classes. They have open, ongoing registration for the Academic Skills and ESL programs throughout the year.Exeter Adult Ed also offers a program for those who wish to earn a high school diploma. Unfortunately, the Brentwood Newsletter printing date came after the mandatory registration date for this program. For information about the next registration date please call 603-775-8457.

Note from the Conservation Commission on groundwater nitrogen control

By now, everyone in town must be aware of the threat that high levels of nitrogen in Great Bay are posing to the well-being of the animals (fish, shellfish in particular) that live there. In 2009, our state legislature mandated the formation of the Southeast Watershed Alliance (SWA), to improve and maintain the water quality in the region. Nitrogen was the first big issue. The EPA was pressuring the waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) to improve their removal processes. The towns, among them Exeter, Portsmouth, and Dover, were alarmed at the huge expense involved. They promoted studies which showed that only 30% of the nitrogen entering Great Bay comes from WWTPs. The rest comes from “non-point sources,” which include inadequate septic systems and surface runoff. Ultimately, compromises were worked out by which the WWTPs are being upgraded, and the towns served by septic systems share the burden by improving storm water control and other measures.

Under the Clean Water Act, the EPA set up what they termed Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) to help address these non-point sources. Our town is exempted for the time being, because they say that our urban area is not heavily populated enough to qualify. However, we anticipate that such a designation may well be in our future. The Conservation Commission, under the leadership of Rob Wofchuck, decided to anticipate this, applying for grants as they are available to fund projects such as the rain gardens at our municipal buildings and the retention pond at the Haigh Road bridge.

Careful construction and maintenance of septic systems is a responsibility that communities such as ours have to accept for everyone’s health and enjoyment. An example of something new in nitrogen control in groundwater is the permeable reactive barrier at the Windsor Meadows development on North Road. This complex of 60 town houses is serviced by community-wide septic systems. One of the leach fields failed a couple of years ago. It was rebuilt, and now works properly, but the effluent does contain nitrate which discharges into Dudley Brook. Windsor Meadows is one of two sites in our area in which a pilot-scale permeable reactive barrier (PRB) has been installed to remove nitrate.

The Rockingham County Conservation District (RCCD) received a grant for the project from the NH Department of Environmental Services, through an EPA program. This 8-foot-deep, 2-foot-

wide by 100-foot-long trench is filled with wood chips mixed with sand and pH buffering materials. It is sited across a portion of the groundwater flow path that the effluent takes to reach the brook.

As the flow passes through the wood chips, soil bacteria remove the oxygen from the oxidized nitrate molecules, reducing the nitrogen to its elemental form as a gas, or incorporating it into organic forms. Mark Kelley, of H&A Consultants, and Pio Lombardo, of Lombardo Associates, designed the trench.

Project Manager Danna Truslow, of Truslow Resource Consulting in Portsmouth, has been overseeing the project for RCCD, and is monitoring the groundwater quality to determine the effectiveness and performance of the trench. She has been measuring nitrate levels at several wells, both upstream and downstream of the barrier. She presented her very promising results to the latest meeting of the Southeast Watershed Alliance. She will perform one more set of measurements in September. More information about PRBs is available on her website, truslowrc.com and also on Wikipedia.

Sympathy

Sincere sympathy and friendship are extended to the family of Stephen H. Meline, 68, of Mill Road, who died June 26, 2017.Son of the late David and Pauline Meline, he was raised in West Roxbury, Mass. and graduated from Boston Latin High School. He earned degrees from Boston University and Boston College, and taught a variety of science courses in the Junior High, Middle School and High School of Pentucket Regional High in West Newbury, Mass. for 35 years. He also coached track and cross country for close to 30 years. After early retirement in 2004, he and his wife traveled the world to many far and exotic places, forming many fine friendships along the way.

Deepest sympathy is extended to the family of Heidi Lynn Hutchinson, 60, of River Road, who died August 11, 2017 after a brief battle with brain cancer. The daughter of the late Harold Hutchinson, Jr., and Virginia Woodworth Hutchinson, she grew up in Brentwood, and graduated from Exeter High School. Most of her career was spent in office administration, most recently as construction administrator at Adrenaline in Portsmouth. She was a gifted photographer, passionate about animal rescue, and spent many years riding her horses in dressage events.

Sincerest sympathy and friendship are extended to the family of Kevin E. Dailey, 61, of Northrup Drive, who passed away on July 17, 2017, after a long and courageous battle with a rare disease. Born in Sidney, NY, the son of the late Eugene and Joan Dailey, he graduated from Broome Community College, Binghamton, and the State Univ. of New York, Plattsburgh. He moved to Brentwood in 1994 and worked as the general manager for the TA office in Greenland. He also worked as a business consultant for ITA, and was owner of the Dailey Group LLC, which handled property management. He enjoyed football, especially the Patriots, reading, classical music and “classic rock,” studying history, cooking, and grilling and being with his family.

Deep sympathy and friendship are extended to the family of Leo P. Roy, 86, formerly of Brentwood, who died August 10, 2017 at the Hyder House in Dover, NH. He was born the son of the late Harmel J. and Marie Roy in Amesbury, Mass. and graduated from Amesbury High School. He served in the U.S. Navy in the Korean conflict. A builder by trade, he was owner of Leo P. Roy, Builder. He built many homes in the Brentwood area and in Hampton. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather who was very generous with his time and talents. He loved helping people in any way he could.

Page 15: NEWSLETTER - Brentwood, New Hampshire · 2017. 9. 5. · Rebecca Dunham for the Book Committee. Brentwood NEWSLETTER | September 2017 | 4 Welcome New Staff! Zoe Ritter, Robbin Shannon,

Your community needs you now more than ever! The Brentwood Fire department is looking for call members to protect and serve its community. We are a combination department of 2 full time employees Monday through Friday with the rest of the staff being on call members that attend meetings, trainings and answer the calls. Being a call Firefighter/EMT is a great life experience and can open up doors for great and honorable career paths. The members of Brentwood fire answer 911 emergency calls around the clock from their homes to serve and protect the town of Brentwood. Do you have what it takes to join our family?

Requirement

• 18 years of age • Valid driver’s license • Employment application • Interview with the fire chief • Driving and criminal background check • Pre-employment drug screening • Time and a sense of dedication

There are several different levels of Firefighters and EMT training you can acquire. Our basic requirements are acquiring a firefighter level 1 certificate and/or your EMT certificate during your time of commitment. Reimbursement for courses is available when meeting department requirements. Information of these courses can be found at the NH Fire Academy website. https://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/fstems/training/index.html

It is becoming increasingly hard to find people willing to take on the challenge of being a call firefighter. The community needs volunteers and it needs YOU!

If you have any further questions, please call the Brentwood fire dept. at 603-642-8132 Monday through Friday 8:00am-3:30pm. Applications can be found at the fire department or on the Brentwood town website.
