Tamworth Town Column: Backyard sugaring tour to be held March 12

Wednesday’s town meeting was well attended and cars were parked far away from the school on Route 113. Article 12, to see if the town would vote to approve improvements to the transfer station was debated with proponents stating that a sufficient rest room for the staff, as well as a recycling facility with bailers were necessary and opponents, including four of five selectmen ,stating that the project was too expensive and unnecessary and a burden on elderly taxpayers. Article 12 needed a 2/3 majority to pass. However, it did pass with 146 “Yes” votes and” No” 42.

Congratulations and thanks to Karl Behr and Lianne Prentice who were elected to the select board, and Sheldon Perry and Nicholas G. Grant who prevailed on the planning board and to everyone who ran unopposed. Regarding the school board, contested position: Eleanor Elbert was elected clerk and Jill Drew, treasurer.
