Charles “Bud” Thompson, founder of the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum, passed away last week at 99 years of age. From the time he was a young boy, Bud cultivated a love for all things Native American. At the age of 70, he turned his passion into the Mt Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner, with his extensive personal collection of Native artifacts serving as the foundation for this award-winning museum.Concord Monitor article Tuesday, August 17.

Kimberley Brown Edelmann shared this great photo of a bear in her cherry tree on Kearsarge Mountain Road.
Warner resident Peter St. James, WNTK 99.7 radio host and outdoors reporter (see his column in the weekly InterTown Record), says there have been sightings of up to 10 different individual bears on the Mountain this year, of which 6-8 seem to be cubs from this year.
By the way - Peter will give a talk about the History of Radio in-person at the NH Telephone Museum, Friday, August 27 at 7 pm!

Mystery solved! The sturdy planter filled with beautiful flowers that arrived mysteriously at the library a few weeks ago, and two in front of Warner Town Hall, were created and delivered by the fine gardening division of Pellettieri Associates Inc. (PAI) of Warner. THANK YOU, Heather Otten and others!.
And in case you are new to Warner, the lovely plantings around the statue of General Walter Harriman are maintained by Martha Mical. THANK YOU Martha for all your time and work keeping our Town center beautiful. (Photo)
Missing flowers: if you took the flower pot off the cement rail at the Warner Transfer Station please return it. You probably thought it was there as a freebie but it was not.

The MONSTERS Duology... All These Monsters (#1) & All These Warriors (#2)
A high-stakes sci-fi adventure about a teen girl who will do anything to escape her troubled home—even if that means joining a dangerous monster-fighting squad. Perfect for fans of Warcross and Renegades.
eventeen-year-old Clara is ready to fight back. Fight back against her abusive father, fight back against the only life she’s ever known, and most of all, fight back against scrabs, the earth-dwelling monsters that are currently ravaging the world. So when an opportunity arises for Clara to join an international monster-fighting squad, she jumps at the chance.
When Clara starts training with her teammates, however, she realizes what fighting monsters really means: sore muscles, exhaustion, and worst of all, death. Scrabs are unpredictable, violent, and terrifying. But as Clara gains confidence in her battle skills, she starts to realize scrabs might not be the biggest evil. The true monsters are the ones you least expect.
