This summer, the University of New England College of Dental Medicine (UNECOD)
                               in Portland, ME will be partnering with Dr. Zane Broome of Monadnock Dental Associates
                               (MDA) to send one of their dental students, Dr. Kathleen Lamontagne of Manchester, NH, to
                               spend June, July and August under the guidance and mentorship of Dr. Broome.

                               Due to Dr. Broome’s philosophy of individualized, health based, minimally invasive care to
                               people in all stages of life, the UNECOD sought out Dr. Broome to become a faculty member
                               of the school and host one of their dental students as part of their externship program.

                               Both of MDA’s current doctors, Dr. Zane Broome and Dr. Sandy Lor, are looking forward
                               to working with Dr. Kathleen Lamontagne. Feel free to swing by the office and meet our
                               extern, as she would love to make your acquaintance.

If you or someone you know needs optimal dental care, free from third party limitations, MDA would love to have an
introduction. The office is located in Jaffrey, NH next to the ambulance garage on Rt. 124. To contact the office, feel free
to call at (603) 532-8720, email at office@monadnockdental.com or find us on the web at www.monadnockdental.com.

    Kevin Avard Speaks at Republican Committee in Rindge
         The Rindge Jaffrey Fitzwilliam Republican
Committee is dedicated to keeping America and
New Hampshire great by preserving freedom, limited
government, and unlimited opportunity for all. We believe
the best way to accomplish this is by electing Republican
candidates at all levels of government: local, state, and
federal.

We hold regular monthly meetings at 7 PM on the 2nd
Monday of the month in the Rindge Meeting House,
6 Payson Hill Road, Rindge. We usually have guest
speakers at our meetings including elected officials,
Republican candidates for office, and other prominent
Republicans. For example, at our April 2019 meeting
former state senator Kevin Avard discussed current
happenings in the state government.

He described how the Democrats who currently control the NH House and Senate are trying to put $400 million in new taxes
on the backs of New Hampshire taxpayers by creating an income tax, establishing a capital gains tax, and raising business
taxes. Kevin, who lost his state senate seat by a very narrow margin in 2018, also said “not to count him out on future
elections”, which everyone was happy to hear.

All registered Republicans and independents are welcome to attend so please join us at our next meeting!

Our goal is to collect more can tabs each semester and
get the whole campus and community to turn collecting
into a habit. In the past three years, we have collected
over four hundred pounds of can tabs, with another
competition collection on the way this spring. We have
been recognized by The Exchange, student documentary
videos, and The Jaffrey-Rindge Rotary Club. If anyone
from the community has can tabs to donate, they can
contact OPCanTab@franklinpierce.edu!

Sincerely,
Operation Can Tab FPU

Rindge Fire Department—Important Reminders
Barn Yard Safety:

Millions of dollars are lost and lives of thousands of animals taken every year due to barn fires. Due to the materials that
barns are typically made up of, it allows for fire to spread rapidly often times leaving the cause of the fire undetermined.
However, barn fires where the cause was determined, it was due to electrical and heating appliances. Barn fires are
preventable and can be avoided with simple maintenance checks.

        - Check your local building codes to make sure you have the appropriate fire alarm system, sprinkler system,
          ABC-type extinguishers, etc.
        - Make sure all wiring is free from damage
        - Dust and cobwebs around electrical outlets and lights are removed
        - Feed, hay, straw, and flammable liquids are stored away from the main barn
        - Hazard checks take place on a set schedule

You can visit https://www.nfpa.org/-/media/Files/Public-Education/Resources/Safety-tip-sheets/BarnSafetyChecklist.pdf for
more information.

Chicken Coup Safety:

Raising chickens has become a popular hoppy in New Hampshire. Many people enjoy raising chickens as their pets or
livestock. Here are a few safety tips to help keep your family, property, and furry friends safe.

        - Secure heat lamps properly to avoid them from knocking over.
          Don’t just relay on the lamp clamps
        - Do not allow other animals to roam freely near heat lamps and space heater.
        - Have all electrical work done by a qualified electrician
        - Use only electrical equipment made for agricultural or commercial use.
        - Do not use extension cords in the coop

To help prevent fires, choose light fixtures with covers to prevent dirt, moisture , and breaking
Store baled hay away from livestock and should not be near anything that can burn

BBQ season is here!

For your safety, we ask that grills be placed at a safe distance
away from the home and other structures. This includes
placing grills away from deck railings and out from under
eaves and overhanging branches. Children and pets should
be kept at least three feet away from the grilling area to prevent
any injuries and burns. Propane and charcoal barbeque grills
should only be used outside.

It is always important to keep your grill clean by removing
grease and fat build up from the grates and trays below. And
most importantly, never leave your grill unattended!
