The Durham Farmers' Market will be open again this season on Monday afternoons beginning Monday, June 1, 2020 through Monday, October 5, 2020 from 2:15- 5:30, closing 1/2 hour earlier than previous years. Vendors will adhere to predetermined sanitation and Covid 19 prevention standards.
Customers are requested to wear masks, maintain 6’ distance from others, and send only one person per household to shop if possible.
In more cheerful news - the market has several new vendors participating this year and they are pleased to have prepared food, maple products (including ice cream!), garden plants, and assorted vegetables available.
AND . . .
According to the Wall Street Journal, officials this week have canceled the Wisconsin State Fair and the Boston Marathon. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio outlined reopening plans, while San Francisco’s Mayor extended that city’s stay-at-home order indefinitely and outlined a tentative timeline for reopening businesses.
President Trump said he would extend Federal funding for the National Guard until mid-August so members can continue helping states respond to the pandemic.
Governor Sununu today extended NH's stay at home order this afternoon for an additional two weeks to June 15th.
And Administrator Selig issued an administrative order requesting all residents, visitors, employees and passersby in Durham to voluntarily wear cloth face coverings when outside the home to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

DURHAM ISSUES ORDER REQUESTING USE OF CLOTH FACE COVERINGS TO HELP SLOW THE SPREAD OF COVID-19
Due to nationwide public health concerns regarding the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic, the Town of Durham, consistent with NH Department of Health and Human Services recommendations, requests all residents, visitors, business employees, and passersby within the jurisdictional boundaries of the municipality to wear cloth face coverings when outside of the home to help slow the spread of Covid-19. In short, if you need to leave your home, wear a cloth face covering while out and about anywhere in Durham.
While at work and in public, employees should wear a cloth face covering to help protect against the spread of the virus.
This advice is based on data about how COVID-19 can spread before a person has any symptoms. A mask helps protect others around you if you are infected and don’t know it.
A cloth face covering is one more voluntary precaution all individuals in Durham can take to help slow the spread of COVID-19. It’s not a substitute for physical distancing and other prevention measures.
You still need to stay at least 6 feet away from people and wash/sanitize hands frequently, even when wearing a face covering.
Examples of when to wear a face covering…
- Trips to the grocery store, pharmacy, doctor or hospital
- Essential workers at a grocery store, pharmacy, or other business setting where they cannot maintain at least 6 feet distance between themselves and others
- At home if you are sick and have other people in the house
- Home care workers caring for vulnerable populations
- Riding the bus, taxi, or ride share
- Walking on a busy and crowded street
- While at work and in public, employees should wear a cloth face covering
Examples of when you don’t need to wear a face covering…
- At home, if everyone in the home isn’t showing symptoms
- Going for a run or bicycle ride -- if it’s not too crowded
- Going for a walk in the woods or in your neighborhood. (But bring one in case you encounter other people and stop to chat.)
Who should never wear a mask…
- Children under the age of 2
- Anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious
- Anyone who is unable to remove the mask without assistance
It’s a pandemic; wearing masks in public is the responsible thing to do. It conveys the clear message: "I care about your health, in addition to my own."
Information regarding wearing masks and other Covid-19 guidance for the workplace may be found at State of New Hampshire Stay at Home 2.0 Universal Guidelines.
Learn more about wearing masks from the NH Bureau of Infectious Disease Control HERE.

DOWNTOWN PARKING ENFORCEMENT TO RESUME ON MONDAY, JUNE 1ST - Without active meters, an increasing number of area tenants have been occupying free parking as their private parking lot.
While there has been nothing positive about the Covid-19 pandemic, parking enforcement had stopped when the Durham Police were aware that businesses had begun curtailing activity. While monitoring available parking spaces to ensure that the situation was not being taken advantage of, tickets for parking violations were not issued for the last two-months.
Now that curbside and take-out activity is increasing, parking enforcement will become active next week commencing Monday, June 1st. We have maintained a parking enforcement officer in the downtown to monitor and to offer any responses to questions as they arose. They have noted that parking spaces are beginning to become occupied more frequently and that vehicles are not moving from these spaces, which is not the desire of the program. Parking in Durham has never been about generating revenue but to ensure that when shoppers and visitors need a space that parking should be available.
While every effort will be made to ensure that the kiosk machines are cleaned and sanitized daily, the existing “out-of-order” signs will be replaced with signs that indicate persons using the machines may desire to disinfect their hands before and after using the Kiosks.
As always, if there are any questions, please feel free to contact the Durham Police at 868-2324 or via email at mailto:police@ci.durham.nh.us

ZOOM ATTACKS NECESSITATE MEETING PRE-REGISTRATIONS
Zoom-bombing or Zoom raiding is the unwanted intrusion into a Zoom Town Meeting by an individual or individuals, causing disruption. The Town have had two meetings under attack. The Town Council meeting on Monday evening and the Energy Committee meeting on Tuesday this week were both Zoom bombed by bad actors, and effectively neutralized by DCAT staff. Swastikas were drawn on the Zoom screens that were visible by Councilors on Monday, followed by a large male figure laying in a pile of marijuana leaves upon which phallic symbols were drawn.
All Town meetings are open to the public and are at high risk of these intrusions. Due to the attacks, DCAT & IT have set new Zoom meeting parameters to hopefully thwart the raiders. Anyone wishing to take part in a Zoom Town meeting, will have to preregister before being sent the Zoom Town meeting link. You may also be asked to wait in a Zoom waiting room until the host allows you entry into the meeting. Preregistration links can be found on our Zoom Meeting page by clicking HERE. If you have any questions about Zoom meetings or preregistration, please contact: mailto:dcat@ci.durham.nh.us or call 603-590-1383.

GOV. SUNUNU SPEAKS WITH MUNICIPAL REPRESENTATIVES FROM NH’S 13 CITIES ABOUT COVID-19 IMPACTS/ORDERS/REVENUES – Some takeaways of interest…
Municipal officials from NH’s 13 cities were able to speak with Governor Sununu this week and learned a number of things:
- The Main Street Fund is accepting applications for businesses through Friday at midnight.
- The Governor’s Office was hoping to make an announcement Friday about lodging and houses of worship. They are looking at steps to take to open lodging and tourism, but they are going slowly.
- The numbers of percent positives of cases is going down; they are pretty consistently under 5% positive, which is, well, positive.
- The Stay at Home Order will likely remain in place at least in the short term. For the next couple weeks, it will likely look the same as it does now. The 10 or more person gathering prohibition will remain in effect for the foreseeable future.
- A lot of states are “breaking up” the Stay at Home Order—e.g., more rural areas are more flexible than urban areas. Governor doesn’t know if that’s a path for NH, but they are looking at it. Also looking at different demographics and whether to be more flexible with those under 60, for example.
- There was discussion about automobile registrations and being flexible to allow registrations, including new registrations, to be done remotely for the long term, not just during the State of Emergency. The Governor indicated that we are likely to be under the SOE for quite some time, which means the orders will remain in effect. If the SOE ends, the emergency orders will, too. Long term, after the SOE expires, this would require legislative action. Governor’s office will also talk to the DMV about this.
- There was a discussion about municipal budgets and the impact of the pandemic. There is no clear guidance yet for municipalities. The Governor did say that the state isn’t actually making any cuts yet because they don’t know what may be coming from the Federal government, but they feel confident something is coming and that there will be funds and flexibility for towns and cities to replace revenue. The governor also said that March and April M&R revenues were not as low as they anticipated, but that they will have a better idea of revenue projections in June.
- Finally, there was a question and some discussion about whether the prohibition on gatherings of 10 or more applies to local government or whether they are exempt. In short, if it is a public meeting, the prohibition apples.

UNH LOOKING TO THE FALL AND ENGAGING MEANINGFULLY WITH THE TOWN ON JOINT PLANNING – Some information and a request for feedback from the Durham community.
UNH President Dean noted this week that the University, in consultation with the USNH Board of Trustees, is continuing to build out its plan for re-opening this fall, consistent with state policies and the recommendations of public health experts. (The plan is conditional on continued stabilization or reduction in positive cases of the virus.)
UNH has committees working to address each of the topics we have all become so familiar with: testing, social distancing, quarantining and so on. UNH and the Town will continue to share plans with the community as they come together. For now, the best place to go for information concerning for the planned fall opening is UNH’s COVID-19 website. UNH will continue to update this site throughout the summer and fall.
Next week UNH will have the near-final number of new students entering the university, an important component of UNH’s financial picture for next year and beyond. The UNH financial teams are preparing forecasts for fiscal year 20-21. As you know, the virus has created serious financial problems for UNH, and President Dean and his staff are making plans to address them. At this time, UNH is continuing to limit hiring, travel, spending, and construction projects. President Dean indicates he will have more to share about UNH’s financial picture in the coming weeks.
If residents, downtown businesses, or property owners have feedback they would like to share for both the Town and UNH to review and consider, please send these to Administrative Assistant Jennie Berry at mailto:jberry@ci.durham.nh.us who will share them with both Administrator Selig and President Dean and their respective teams. Note, this effort is not intended to create an active dialogue as the volume of ongoing correspondence and time limitations will not permit. It will be reviewed and thoughtfully considered, however.

ASSESSMENT OF INTEREST ON UPCOMING PROPERTY TAXES DUE EXTENDED BY AN ADDITIONAL MONTH BY TOWN COUNCIL
On Monday evening, the Durham Town Council approved the tax warrant authorizing the Town Clerk-Tax Collector to collect partial payment of Durham property taxes assessed on April 1, 2020.
Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, several property owners expressed a general concern that they or others may not be able to pay their property tax bills by the July 1st deadline (or 30 days after the issuance of the tax bills), which is when 8% interest would begin accruing per RSA 76-13.
Although RSA 76:16 states that the selectmen or assessors can abate accrued interest for good cause shown, Durham’s legal council did not believe that RSA 76:16 could be applied during a pandemic. As a result, Durham, Rochester and Keene wrote to Governor Sununu expressing this concern which lead to his Emergency Order #25 pursuant to Executive Order 2020-04 Temporary Modification of Interest Penalty for Late Payment of Property Taxes, authorizing municipalities and counties to use their abatement authority pursuant to RSA 76:16 and RSA 29:12 regarding accrued interest.
After much deliberation between Administrator Selig, Tax Collector Lorrie Pitt, and Assessor Jim Rice, it was agreed that an extra 30-day extension would be a good faith effort to Durham taxpayers considering the pandemic before interest would accrue. This recommendation was made to the Town Council and on this past Monday evening, it was unanimously approved – in essence that that 8% interest would begin accruing 60 days after the issuance of the June 2020 property tax bills (versus the statutory 30 days typically observed).

MINNEAPOLIS TRAGEDY - An important message from Durham Police Chief David Kurz to the Durham Community.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sent in the National Guard as demonstrators in Minneapolis clashed with police for a third straight day.
Demonstrators are protesting the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white officer pinned him to the ground with a knee on his neck, according to video that circulated online. The Third Precinct police station, which has been a central site for demonstrations, was taken over and set on fire late yesterday, according to local news reports and video posted on social media. Protests spread Thursday to other cities, including New York, Denver and Chicago.
The US Justice Department said it had made its investigation into Mr. Floyd’s death a top priority, assigning experienced prosecutors and FBI criminal investigators to probe whether police officers willfully violated Mr. Floyd’s civil rights. Calls for criminal charges against the officers involved continued to grow.
One of my favorite Abraham Lincoln quotes, “To sin by silence, when we should protest, makes cowards out of men", is what I was thinking as I contemplated the murder of George Floyd and my responsibilities as Police Chief in Durham, albeit until July 17th.
The fact that the officers have not been arrested screams of inequity. If any police department possessed video of a person kneeling on the neck of a man that resulted in his death, that person would be arrested based upon the probable cause displayed in the video! What the judicial system outcome would be is irrelevant to the probable cause for arrest. What is clear to me is that there is an obvious lack of “procedural justice” in Minneapolis where the idea of fairness, transparency, opportunity to be heard and impartiality is simply not evident.
As readers of Friday Updates, many will be aware that each August I took the opportunity to reaffirm the Department’s commitment to maintain a guardian philosophy of the delivery of law enforcement services to the Durham community. After all, police authority that provides the inherent ability to arrest, detain, and interrogate people, as well as the uncompromising power to utilize deadly force, is established by the Durham Town Charter.
Durham Police are ingrained with the organizational fortitude to do the right thing, seek improved methods, and do so in partnership with the community. Will we make mistakes as we deliver and interact with community members? As humans who happen to be police officers, most likely there will be errors. But I can also assure you that there will be acknowledgement of the mistake and a strategy to ensure that it will not be repeated.
While I will be retiring in July, I want to assure the Durham community that Town Administrator Todd Selig’s statement “that the bench at Durham PD is very deep” is an accurate statement.
Chief Rene Kelley and every officer supporting him all have the same commitment to policing in the manner of which Durham has become accustomed. An organizational moral compass is ingrained in each employee, which is why as a police manager I can assure you that no Durham Police Officer would ever standby silently and not intervene in this outrageous criminal act.

BICYCLE RIDING IN DURHAM - Some rules of the road for young cyclists.
During this Covid-19 pandemic and with warmer weather finally arriving, many people are getting their bicycles out from the garage or basement for that long-awaited ride. Bicycling can be a fun means of exercise and eco-friendly transportation as we traverse about Durham but don’t let your bicycling experience be ruined by not following bicycling laws of New Hampshire.
If you are under 16, NH law is applicable to you as there is a mandatory helmet use. Any person operating a bicycle in New Hampshire under the age of 16 must wear a helmet that is approved by DHHS. There are programs in New Hampshire for free or low-cost helmets that can be found HERE.
Remember to have reflective gear for night riding such as a reflective vest, shirt or pants when riding ½ hour before dusk until ½ hour after dawn.
Keeping your bicycle in good condition and have it inspected. All bicycles must have brakes, tires, and moving parts in good condition.
You must obey traffic laws too! Bicyclists are considered operators and therefore have to obey the same traffic rules, such as traffic light signals and road signs. Cyclists must use hand signals if they want to turn or change lanes. If the road has bike lanes, cyclists are required to use those lanes and to follow the same direction as motor vehicles.
Finally, remain to the right of the roadway and do not impede traffic.

MESSAGE FROM SUPERINTENDENT MORSE OUTLINES MANY COVID-19 UNCERTANITEIS FOR UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR
In his newsletter to ORCSD families this week, Superintendent Jim Morse discussed a number of items surrounding how K-12 education might progress this fall in Oyster River. He noted that remote learning was developed out of crisis with no time to develop a comprehensive plan. Given the real possibility that remote learning may occur again, the district wants to learn from this experience. The district is committed to self-improvement and has surveyed parents, ORMS/ORHS students, and faculty/staff regarding their remote learning experience this spring. The answers will help inform the district’s early conversations related to the opening of school next fall.
Superintendent Morse knows guidance from the CDC and the State of New Hampshire are weeks, if not months off, but indicates we cannot wait for their guidance. We need to begin making plans now. The district will incorporate the CDC and the State of New Hampshire’s guidance into Oyster River’s plan as it becomes available.
|
THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING AS STAY AT HOME ORDERS ARE SLOWLY REDUCED
Administrator Selig echoes recent thoughts from Superintendent Morse that now that we are seeing the sun on a more frequent and regular basis, it allows us to step out and feel the sun on our face. A much needed and wonderful feeling!
As a reminder, although warmer weather has arrived, we need to be sure to follow the guidelines from DHHS and the CDC. They are still encouraging us to social distance and wear masks if in the community – and now the Town of Durham has formally asked residents to wear masks as described elsewhere in more detail in this week’s Friday Updates. We are at the beginning stages of opening businesses, etc. and hopefully the more we follow their recommendations the better the outcome will be for all.
It is natural as human beings to want to be with our friends, family, and loved ones. Thankfully, we have ways to still communicate electronically. We are still able to see a family member’s new baby or say hello to the grandparents through this amazing technology.
Although it is not the same as the real encounters, it is one of the many things to be fortunate for during this pandemic.
Superintendent Morse asks the question, “Can you imagine if we did not have the technology we do today?”

SUPERVISORS OF THE CHECKLIST - Party changes...
The Supervisors of the Checklist will hold a session on Tuesday June 2, from 7:00 – 7:30 PM at the Durham Town Hall. The primary purpose of this meeting will be to allow last minute changes of party. This will be the last opportunity to do this before the September 8 State Primary. We ask that you wear a mask and bring your own pen. If you believe you have changed your party (meaning you voted at the February primary or other recent primary and changed your party either that day or after), check the following website to be sure: https://app.sos.nh.gov/Public/PollingPlaceSearch.aspx. If you changed your party AFTER the town election on March 10 it may not show up, although the changes should have been made. If you made that change up through the day of the town election and that website does not show it, we definitely need to know. If you would like to make a party change before June 2, you may do it in person at the town clerk’s office between the hours of 8:00 and 4:30 M-F. It is best to call ahead just to make sure someone will be available to help you quickly.
A new form that can be used for Party Changes has been made available by the Secretary of State. It can be found HERE. You may print this and fill it out entirely (or fill out and then print). This needs to be signed by you AND by a witness (any witness), and then sent to Supervisors of the Checklist, 8 Newmarket Rd, Durham, or dropped off at the town hall either in person to the Town Clerk's Office or in the drop box or by 5:00 PM on June 2, 2020.
Remember, if you come to the primary as Undeclared, you will choose which party you wish to vote that day. You may then return to Undeclared that day or any day after. However, you MAY NOT change party at a primary if you enter the polls as a Republican or a Democrat. There are always some people who forget to return to Undeclared after a primary (perhaps they voted absentee) and then are very unhappy the day of the next primary. There was some confusion about this at the Presidential Primary, but we hope to make sure everyone is aware of this well before September.
Voter Registration: People who are not yet registered to vote may do so at the Supervisor session on June 2 or at the Town Clerk’s office as mentioned above with party changes. You will be asked to show proof of identification, age (18 by the September 8 election), citizenship (passport or naturalization papers), and domicile within Durham. Affidavits may be signed in the absence of proofs. There is no hurry to register to vote. This may be done up until about 10 days before the election. This also may be done absentee. To do this, please call the town clerk’s office (868-5577) and ask for the absentee registration packet. Make sure all forms in the packet are completed and signed before returning it.

INFORMATION FROM THE DURHAM AGRICULTURAL COMMISSION
Growing food for your family and for others is a good response to the disruptions in food availability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Durham Agricultural Commission believes there are specific steps we can all take to increase our food self-sufficiency and food security:
- Expand the number of home gardens in Durham, to increase cooperative and collaborative food production efforts between neighbors and across neighborhoods;
- Support our robust local food system, including Emery Farm, Tecce Farm, Durham Farmers’ Market, farm stands, food delivery programs offered by farms in the region, and purchasing Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares from local farms; use the search tool developed by Seacoast Eat Local to find local food producers;
- Ensure animal agriculture and the integration of plant and animal agriculture and gardening is available to suit the needs and interests of townspeople.
Recognizing that today, with so many working from home and directed to do so, all zoning in town is now mixed use, as most residences are also workplaces. To further enhance food security, we need to plan for more agriculture, not around it. The Agricultural Commission is working with the Planning Board to enable food production that encourages self-reliance and supports the community at large.
If you are already growing food on your property and have food or other gardening resources to share with others, please let us know and we will help spread the word. If you are not sure about what you can do to start a vegetable garden in your yard, please look at the Winans’ inspirational front yard at 109 Madbury Road! In addition, there are many gardening resources on the Agricultural Commission page on the Town’s website.
Please contact the Agricultural Commission for more information, mailto:theresawalker@comcast.net.

UNH OUTDOOR POOL, MENDUM’S POND WILL NOT OPEN IN 2020 – Due to pandemic, no Camp Wildcat either.
Due to current guidelines, including physical distancing expectations and the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the university has decided not to open the Outdoor Pool and Mendum’s Pond this summer. In addition, Camp Wildcat, sailing/kayaking/paddleboarding, and swim lessons will not be offered due to the limitations the pandemic response requires. After such a chilly spring, many are looking forward to the warmer weather. Unfortunately we will have to wait until summer 2021 to enjoy these favorite activities.

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM UPDATE
Given the unpredictable nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and current guidelines, including social distancing recommendations, UNH has decided to largely cancel its on-campus youth programs for 2020. Some programs may offer online learning opportunities or activities.
The health and safety of UNH's youth program participants, staff, and volunteers is always, but especially now, a priority. All UNH youth program staff are disappointed that the University cannot provide the usual in-person interactions with youth. They look forward to a healthier 2021.
For future updates, visit the UNH Youth Programs website.

ZOOM VIDEO CONFERENCING TIPS FOR DURHAM BOARD MEMBERS AND PARTICIPATING CITIZENS ALIKE!
Below are some recommendations for using Zoom and other video conferencing tools. These guidelines are provided for Town board and committee members and for members of the public when participating in a Town meeting. People may also find these guidelines helpful for any meeting conducted by video conferencing. We put this list together based on suggestions from Planning Board Chair Paul Rasmussen (who does a great deal of video conferencing in his work life), articles from UNH Cooperative Extension, and an article by Lindsay Crafford in GoToMeeting.
Pick a good location. Set up in a room where you can close the door and have quiet and privacy without interruptions. A simple orderly background is best so that other participants focus on you rather than a messy bookshelf, an unmade bed, colorful artwork, or an open door to the bathroom (bad feng shui!). Find a spot with clear even lighting or side lighting. Do not sit in front of a window or light source which would put you in shadow and cause glare.
We appreciate that you might prefer to be in Hawaii or Paris but recommend not uploading an artificial background unless you have a greenscreen and the background will be static and not divert viewers’ attention.
Eliminate distractions. Please be mindful of potential distractions such as children, pets, and the telephone ringing. You may not notice the background noise but it can be distracting to others.
Dress appropriately. It may be a pleasant relief to participate in a meeting from the comfort of home but please don’t dress like a zhlub. Remember you are still visible to the other board members and the public.
Set up early. Settle in at least ten minutes before the meeting begins to make sure that you have the link to the Zoom meeting, your equipment is set up properly, and you are ready to go when the roll call commences.
Sign in. The Town now requires registration for Zoom meetings. Please make the adjustment so that your full name is shown on the screen. Otherwise people may not recognize you especially if your video turns off for some reason.
Video. If you have the capacity to participate by video is far preferable to using audio only. Some Town meetings still allow for limited physical attendance so if you do not have video available you might consider coming to the meeting (while observing all necessary safety requirements, of course). For project applications it is especially important that the board members are able to see the presenter. Non-board members will likely be on audio only until they actually are recognized to speak.
Set your camera properly. Remember that everybody else sees you from the camera view. Place your camera on a steady surface at eye level or higher if possible. You can use books to raise your computer up. This placement will enhance your appearance and provide a more professional presentation. When you are speaking it is helpful to look at the camera rather than the screen if you can.
Mute your microphone. Please be sure to turn off (or mute) your microphone (a red slash line will go through the icon) as soon as you enter the video conference after you have greeted other board members. Leaving one’s microphone on can be highly distracting and sometimes embarrassing. You should be able to hold down the space bar when you wish to speak to avoid having to keep clicking on your microphone icon. Please check your mute periodically to ensure you haven’t left it on after speaking.
Speak at a good volume. Too frequently others cannot hear because a person speaks too softly or is sitting too far away. On the other hand, please be careful not to shout. Please sit as close to the microphone as is comfortable. The first time that you speak you might ask if people can hear you all right. DCAT cannot adjust the volume of a speaker on Zoom.
Stay focused on the meeting. It may be tempting to check your inbox or multitask during the meeting but please stay focused on the proceedings as best you can. Items of interest can pop up when you are not expecting them plus it can be evident to others if you are engaged with some other activity. Our adult children in Boston or Seattle may insist on having dinner while speaking to us but please don’t eat during meetings. You knew that.
Use your judgment whether or not to inform the chairperson if you need to step away for a few minutes or you might inform another member via the chat function. Of course, if you are uncomfortable sitting for the duration of the meeting feel free to do whatever you need to do. You may want to turn off the video icon when doing your downward dog.
Consider the accessories. Play around with different settings on zoom to find one that is useful, such as speaker versus gallery view.
You may want to look into using a wireless headset or headphones which would allow you to move around some.
Follow norms of the board. Each board or committee may set its own procedures. For example, the norm for starting to speak could involve simply jumping in when there is an opening, raising the hand feature, or using the chat box.
(Thank you as well to Michael Behrendt for aggregating this great information for the benefit of the Durham community!)

WAGON HILL FARMHOUSE AND THE OLD BRICK TOWN HALL (aka “Old Courthouse”)
The Town of Durham hired Arron Sturgis of Preservation Timber Framing in Berwick, Maine last year to assess the condition of two Town-owned landmark buildings: the Wagon Hill Farmhouse and the Old Brick Town Hall (aka “Old Courthouse”). Mr. Sturgis provided a detailed assessment of both structures including photographs of deteriorated components, recommended repairs, and cost estimates for the work. The Town has not yet decided on any next steps. The Historic District/Heritage Commission is going to discuss the two reports at its meeting this Thursday, June 4. Admin. Selig very much wants to take into consideration ideas and input from the Heritage Commission as we look to the future with both of these important properties and as plans are developed at DPW and ultimately by the Town Council.

AMTRAK DOWNEASTER UPDATE DUE TO PANDEMIC – Service will remain suspended indefinitely due to health considerations.
The Northern NE Passenger Rail Authority board meeting last Friday and determined that Downeaster service will remain suspended for an undetermined amount of time. This decision was based on guidance from Maine Department of Transportation commissioner who in turn is receiving guidance from Governor Mills and the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development.
The board did agree to hold another board meeting June 8th to take another look at resuming service.
This is not slowing NNEPRA staff down in our preparation efforts…
- Staff have received all station signage that will be used in the stations and on the platforms to educate passengers on proper protocols related to COVID-19 for boarding and riding the Downeaster.
- They continue to monitor the actions of ME, NH, and MA as they phase in the re-opening of the economy. This guides the Downeaster in revisions to plan for resuming service.
- Staff have developed a survey to gauge customer sentiment- which has been well responded to with over 750 responses and showing strong demand once service can safely resume. Interested Oyster River residents are encouraged to take the survey and share it with others HERE.

COMPREHENSIVE WATER QUALITY MONITORING REPORT FOR SEACOAST RELIABILITY PROJECT
Eversource’s environmental consultant Normandeau Associates has submitted to the NH Site Evaluation Committee a Comprehensive Water Quality Monitoring Report for the Seacoast Reliability Project.
It states: “In conclusion, the SRP water quality monitoring program was completed in accordance with the NHDES-approved monitoring plan and demonstrated compliance with SEC permit conditions and the DES 401 water quality certificate. Based on turbidity and TSS sampling within the approved mixing zone, the sediment dispersion model predictions presented in the permit applications accurately represented sediment transport patterns and conservatively predicted the extent and amount of sediment suspension and deposition. The results of the extensive water quality sampling program demonstrated that state water quality standards were attained for all parameters and indicate that ecological impacts during construction were negligible.”

SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT – IF YOU ARE OUT ON THE WATER IN A BOAT, WEAR A LIFE JACKET – The Water is 50’ max and you could easily drown!
A resident from the Church Hill apartments noted this week he has seen many folks out on the Oyster River in canoes with no life jackets. This is just plain bad practice at any time of the year, but presently the water is around 50’ in the Mill Pond and even less downstream. Falling into the water at this time of year does not equate to an enjoyable dip in the pool; rather your muscles may quickly seize up and you could drown. The solution is simply – as easy as wearing a face mask – be sure to wear your life preserver!

DOGS RUNNING AT LARGE - Generally speaking, dogs must be on a leash when off private property in Durham.
The Covid-19 pandemic is resulting in one outstanding attribute; more people are out hiking and discovering Durham’s outstanding trail system. The negative attribute is that there are increased reports of dogs off leash and owners failing to clean up after their pets! Ultimately this has been consuming Durham Police time as they attempt to educate dog owners of the Town’s regulations. Town ordinances require that a dog be on a leash no longer than 8 feet at all times when off the private property of the owner. If the dog bolts from the owner’s property to harass or frighten people this is a violation of the Town Ordinance. Additionally, the ordinances states:
“Any owner or person having custody of any dog shall not permit the dog on public grounds, including public streets, sidewalks, parks, or any other public grounds within the town, unless the owner or person in control has in his possession a mechanical or other device for the removal of excrement/feces, nor shall such owner or person in control fail to expeditiously remove any such excrement/feces deposited by the dog in any such place.”
We all love our pets and with ownership comes responsibility to ensure clean-up is accomplished immediately. We also need to understand that there are some who may be frightened by a dog they are not familiar with and it is ultimately the owner’s responsibility to ensure that their animal is restrained when beyond their property limits.
Note, dogs are allowed off leash at Wagon Hill Farm by administrative order from dawn until 10 AM daily.

HISTORY IN AN OYSTERSHELL - A Brief History of Durham, NH 1600 - 1976 (A little volume that was the Heritage Project of the Durham Historic Association Bicentennial celebration)
Preface - "Since before God made the first little green apples, oysters have probably been growin in the Oyster River; and some of the largest and juiciest to be found anywhere in the world are still growing here today. The following vignettes from rollicking history of Durham town on the Oyster River are therefore presented between the shells of an oyster."
________________________
1975 - Spruce Hole was purchased by the Conservation Commission for the Town. This fine example of a glacial pot hole was formed when a huge block of ice was covered by sand and gravel. When the ice melted, the hold remained, and its biologically unique environment will be protected.
