The use of backyard composting systems by residents can help divert this waste while benefitting from fresh compost. Put those leaves and grass clippings to work for you also!
Doing yard cleanup? Do frequent "tick checks"! There are now several very serious tick-borne diseases in NH that can transmit rapidly after a tick latches on. Ticks are found in many leaf and brush piles where small mammal hosts overwinter. Tuck in clothing, buy permethrin-treated clothes or spray your own clothes and shoes to reduce attached ticks. |

Math, Murder, and Mayhem:
The Return of Professor Moriarty
by Roger Robbins
But, in fiction, death isn't forever. Or for very long.
A clamoring public forced a Sherlock Holmes revival. Now, the Professor himself has been lifted from the Falls, dried off, and set back to his criminal ways. The university math whiz turned crook sticks with readers.
Anthony Horowitz, in Moriarty, has created a ripping tale tied to an ingenious plot, full of characters from other Sherlock Holmes stories. In addition, John Gardner has written a Moriarty Trilogy about the Professor's further exploits. and Michael Kurland has written other exciting Moriarty mysteries (Ask us to borrow through inter-library loan).

ACCESS TO RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION continues as a challenge to many in our area. Without a vehicle, folks can't get to work, or to important appointments and services. KNP (Kearsarge Neighborhood Partners) and KREM are partners in KARS FOR KEARSARGE: Paving the Road to Independence, a joint effort to help neighbors evaluate and afford repairs on an existing vehicle, or to match them with a donated vehicle.
Do you know someone who has a safe, reliable vehicle that they would like to gift to a neighbor in need? Maybe the owner is no longer driving, or they have a young adult child who has moved to the city. If so, please let us know! ANYONE can support this important program any time by donating toward a repair.
Need help finding forms or uploading documents? Stop in the library! Scanning and emailing is free. Printed pages are 10 cents but we can waive that in cases of need. For online interviews or telehealth appointments, two privacy booths and laptop computers are available.

The cost will be $12 for adults, children 7 – 12 $5 and six and under free. If you can’t attend but would like to donate, send a check to the United Church of Warner, PO Box 203, Warner, 03278.
