Bring your I.D.

For the nomination of Candidates for the following offices:

Governor

The Canaan Moderator will start processing Absentee Ballots at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, September 8, 2020 for the State Primary Election at the Canaan Fire Station at 62 NH Route 118.

 

MAKE SURE TO READ ALL OF THE RULES FOR ABSENTEE VOTING AND FOLLOW THEM!

It would be a shame to make the extra effort to vote during Covid-19 only to have your ballot tossed out!

Read and follow the directions!

If you're planning to vote absentee in November, mail your ballot in early. 

New Hampshire is among the states that got a warning letter from the US Postal Service that delays could mean uncounted votes. The state recommends requesting an absentee ballot at least 7 days ahead of the election; the USPS says that may not be enough time, and urges voters to send in their completed ballots no later than October 27. You might want to mark your calendar.

Water & Sewer

The Town is working to secure funding to replace the water main from Canaan Street Lake to the Water Plant on Fernwood Farms Road and from the Plant to the Village.

So far, the Town has been awarded loan capacity of $550,000 from the NH State Drinking Water State Revolving Fund towards a project cost of $1.2 million dollars.





Next week, the Town will apply to the Drinking Water Ground Water Trust Fund for a grant of up to $600,000. 




The loan will require us to increase user fees later this year. We will communicate our plans as soon as we prepare projections for different ideas. We know that costs are very tight for everyone and we will do our best to keep costs as low as possible.

As you travel around Canaan you may notice John Coffey, the Town of Canaan's Water and Sewer Operator, working on the roads with an intern from the University of New Hampshire.  They are measuring and mapping the water system in the Village.  We are will be using this information as a base point to locate and confirm our existing water system.

Flushing of the water lines was performed between the bank and Canaan Street to remove sediment built up over time.

SNAP and Granite State Market Match available at the Canaan Farmer's and Artisan Market now-- and there's so much great produce to choose from!

SNAP EBT households: When you use your SNAP benefits at farmers markets, you get up to $20 (free!) to spend on market fruits and veggies. Every week! With no paperwork.

Here's how it works: In New Hampshire, the program is called Granite State Market Match and matches your farmers' market SNAP EBT spending, up to $10.

In Vermont, it's called Crop Cash, and it doubles your SNAP EBT spending. And benefits aren't restricted to the state you live in: New Hampshire residents can get these benefits at Vermont farmers markets, and vice versa.

Learn how to claim those benefits at the links above, and if you are curious whether you qualify for SNAP benefits, click here for VT, and here for NH.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Pink Patch Project

Hey everyone it is that time of year again.  Please help support us with our Pink Patch Project by buying one of our patches for only $10.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Canaan Police will be selling a pink collectible Canaan Police patch to show support for those members of our community who are battling breast cancer, have survived their battle and those who have lost their fight...

A portion of the proceeds from these pink patches will be donated for cancer research and treatments. 

If you would like one, either come by the station or send check/cash to Canaan Police Department, PO Box 38, Canaan NH 03741 along with a a self-addressed, stamped envelope and we will mail you one back.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Canaan Street Beach is OPEN.  
E. Coli level was 14.8 which is safe.

The New Hampshire advisory limit is 156 or 10 times the current level at the beach.

If you want a safe beach, DO NOT FEED THE DUCKS. They are cute but they defecate.

THE HIGH DUCK POPULATION  IS  A MAJOR CAUSE OF TOTAL COLIFORM  AT THE BEACH.

DUCKS ARE CUTE, BUT DON'T FEED THE DUCKS! THEY WON'T STARVE!

IF YOU FEED THEM THEY WILL COME ... AND POOP! THE RAFT OF DUCKS IS GROWING WEEKLY.

THE RESULT IS HIGH COLIFORM AND A CLOSED BEACH!
 

Special Thanks to the person who broke the gate at the Williams Playground. Your appreciation of the play area is great!

Loon Preservation Committee
Lead Tackle Buy-Back Program

  

So far this year, we have documented four loon deaths due to lead poisoning in New Hampshire—three adults and one immature (1-2 years old). The loon pictured here was one of those unlucky four. Unfortunately, although it was rescued by LPC Field Biologist Elaina Badders and brought for treatment, it did not survive. Loon deaths from lead poisoning are entirely preventable—if you have not already done so, please switch to using loon-safe, lead free tackle. We'll even buy your old lead tackle back from you! For more details on our Lead Tackle Buyback program, please visit loonsafe.org.

Please also watch your boat speed as a loon died on Mascoma Lake this year from being hit by a boat.

CANNING SAFETY ALERT

these two things are not alike - and it’s not related to packaging.

A lot of people have grown gardens this year and many are now canning those crops.  Modern home canning requires a minimum of 5% acidity for vinegar. The product on the left is 5% and the product on the right is not declared. Never can with an undeclared acid. Online research last night revealed the vinegar on the right was 4% - today we are hearing 50 grain=5%, we urge you to research and read labels. Some vinegar being sold by the gallon is definitely marked 4%. You might be able to add acid to a recipe using citric acids, lemon powder, or commercial lemon or lime juice per a recipe or substitutions offered by a state Extension Service. Never can your hard work with 4% vinegar. We use it for cleaning and it’s okay for other purposes.

A big Thank You to the Canaan Lions Club for putting together this great music series.  It was enjoyed by SO many!  We look forward to more music next year !

YOU CAN NOW PICK UP TWO  APPLICATIONS FOR ABSENTEE BALLOTS; ONE IS FOR THE PRIMARY ON SEPTEMBER 8 AND THE OTHER IS FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 3. THEY ARE AVAILABLE  AT THE TOWN CLERK'S OFFICE.

FEAR OF COVID-19 IS A RECOGNIZED REASON FOR AN ABSENTEE BALLOT.



The State of New Hampshire established a process for registering to vote by mail amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Guidance and instructions can be found via the @NHSecretary website: https://bit.ly/2Y5YkJl or click HERE

*Any voter who is concerned about contracting or spreading COVID-19 may vote absentee in the 2020 elections.  Any voter may request an absentee ballot for the 2020 Elections based on concerns regarding COVID-19. Any voter who is concerned about COVID-19 should check the “disability” box. *

*You can also vote absentee IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING APPLY:  

Absence: You won't be in town during polling hours on election day.  

Disability:  You are unable to vote in person because of a disability or  illness. This includes concerns about COVID-19.  Work obligation, childcare or caring for infirm adults during polling hours.  Religious commitment prevents you from appearing in public at the polls.*

To vote absentee:  

You need to be registered with the town you live in to vote.  If you are not a registered voter and want to register online, start by clicking HERE.


1. Check your registration to make sure you are
registered correctly by clicking HERE.  

2.  Request your ballot now by submitting the completed Absentee Request Application for each election to your town or city clerk's office by mail, email, fax, or in person.  This form should be available at your town clerk's office and can also be downloaded from the Secretary of State’s homepage by clicking HERE for “Voting During the COVID-19 State of Emergency.  

3. Check your mail for your official ballot. Your ballot usually arrives about 30 days before the election.  

4. Fill out your ballot from home. Make sure to sign it.  Read the instructions carefully and make sure you sign the envelope.  

5. Return your ballot to the town or city clerk's office.  You can send it in the mail or drop it off in person.

* The last day to request an absentee ballot in person is the day before the election. The New Hampshire State Primary is TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8,  2020.  Because the day before the Primary is Labor Day, the Town Clerk's office will only be open between 3PM and 5 PM.

The New Hampshire General Election is TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2020.

For additional questions about voting, please call the Voter Assistance
Hotline at 603-466-VOTE

Library Take Out Update: We are feeling confident with Library Take Out, and are happy to report that we are eliminating our 3 item limit on orders.

Add a mask to your order. While supplies last, you may add a reusable, cloth face mask to your order. When you call or email, just let us know if you would like a mask to be placed in your take out bag (limit of two masks).  Right now, you may also choose from small, medium, or large masks.

These masks have been donated to the library and we are offering them free of charge. We encourage folks to wear face masks when picking up their take out orders, and are happy to provide masks to you while supplies last.

These masks are for you to keep and use not only when you pick up your library take out, but as you make your way through your day.

Riders/Family’s/Friends


We need your help.  Canaan Lions MX is in need of track help.  As many of you know, the track is run by the Canaan Lions Club. The Lions, are the largest service organization in the world. This is an all-volunteer group and all proceeds raised go toward causes such as eyesight and hearing testing, diabetes research, eliminating hunger and helping with medical needs in our community and around the world. 



Some of our members, are now considered High Risk and will not be able to return to the track. In order for this to be a successful race season, we need flaggers, gate attendants, and help with registration. We are not looking for a season commitment (that would be great), but we are trying to get a list of people to fill in, as needed. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated and together we can keep Canaan Lions MX a fun, family-friendly place to ride and race. If you would like to help, please send an email to canaanlionsmotocross@gmail.com.

Thank you!

Due to the COVID 19 Pandemic, Canaan Lions MX will be following all Federal, State, and Local Laws and Regulations. Please check the Website, Facebook, and Instagram for updates.

Because of Covid concerns this year we will not be holding the Orange Harvest Festival in Orange, N.H.  We appreciate all the support we have gotten in previous years and hope to continue this popular tradition next year. 

We want everyone to stay safe, we will beat this bump in our lives.

Orange Harvest Committee,  Orange , N.H.

Thank you.  Anita Garland
