Administrator had been contacted by Phil Stockwell of Community Action
Program last month with regard to a resident of Warner who is enrolled
in the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCEP).
The federally funded program assists people 55 and older to get
back in the workplace. The
program pays all wages, workmen’s compensation insurance, etc. and the
host agency such as Warner, benefits by having the individual(s) work 20
hours per week. The goal is
to allow people to either learn new skills or use the skills thy have to
continue to work and enable them to remain or become more marketable.
The individual who has come to us was recently laid off from
Warner Power and has a varied background which will enable us to use him
in various locations. He is
currently doing work at the Town Hall and will be working with Allan
Brown beginning tomorrow at the Highway Department assisting with
various things that need to be straightened up and worked on but which
have been pushed aside due to time constraints.
He will also be brought over to the Transfer Station when needed
(he worked at the Henniker TS years ago).
Either party (enrollee or host) can end the relationship if they
feel it is not working out. Hydrant Replacement – Allan Brown and Jerimiah Menard at
the Water Precinct have been in contact with each other with regard to
replacing the hydrant at the Post Office.
Jer would like to wait until the spring to replace it and told
Allan that he doesn’t have the part because he is not certain what is
needed. Jer said he wants to
take some vacation time which is why he wants to wait until spring.
According to Allan, Jer is having the parts person bring a
variety of items so that it’s on hand when the work is done.
The Town Administrator obtained a copy of the meeting minutes
from the precinct in order to get a best estimate as to when the hydrant
was broken. The Bookkeeper
