OBITUARY
Thomas A. ‘Skip’ Timmons, 29 WEARE, N.H. — Thomas Andrew “Skip” Timmons passed away in his sleep on Saturday, September 29th. He was 29. He was born in Concord, the son of Ginny Timmons of Northfield and of Dr. Thomas Timmons of Salisbury. Preceded by his boisterous laugh, Skip’s personality filled every room he entered. He was a teddy bear with a big heart. Devoted to his children, never one to shy away from a debate, he brought enthusiasm and energy to everything he did. Among his passions were ice skating, hockey, Friday-night get-togethers with his Blackburn relatives, camping with his family, and reading. Although hopelessly irreverent to his siblings and parents, Skip had remarkable charm, a great sense of humor, and a strong sensitivity. He will be sorely missed. Skip is survived by his wife, Tracy Timmons, his son, Bryant, 10 years old, his daughter, Haddie, 8 months old, the rest of the Timmons Team (Jeanne;
Greg, Colleen, Liam and Ainsley; Joe and Nicole; Mark, Cynthia and Hezzy; Matt, Jen, Phoebe and Isaac; Kate; Steve; Lydia; and Dr. Timmons’ wife, Linda), and an enormous extended family that includes the Blackburns, the Morses, and more Timmons. Calling hours will be held Friday October 5, 2012 from 6-8 pm at the Holt- Woodbury Funeral Home & Cremation Service in Henniker, NH. The funeral will be held at HoltWoodbury Funeral Home Saturday, October 6, 2012 at 11am. A Reception will follow at 250 Bay Hill Road, Northfield NH. Burial will be held at the convenience of family. In lieu of flowers, a fund has been set up for his children, Bryant and Haddie. Please send checks payable to: Skip Timmons Memorial Fund, Merrimack County Savings Bank, PO Box 2826, Concord, NH 03302. For more log on to www.holtwoodburyfh.com
Town of Gilford completes Hazard Mitigation Plan update GILFORD — The Gilford Hazard Mitigation Committee has completed the draft of a Town of Gilford Hazard Mitigation Plan update. The committee is represented by a variety of local interests including the Fire Chief and Emergency Management Director, the Police Department, the Department of Public Works, the CIP Committee, Town Administrator, Board of Selectmen, and a local citizen. The committee worked in cooperation with the NH Department of Safety, Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the Lakes Region Planning Commission to develop the update. The plan is designed to address Gilford’s vulnerability to natural and human-caused hazards and will serve to reduce future residential and commercial property losses from hazardous events before they occur. The most significant areas of concern for Gilford were determined to be threats to existing infrastructure, including wildfire, severe winter weather, high winds, and flooding on specific roads. During development of the plan,
community leaders were able to identify goals and actions to reduce the impacts of these hazards. The Plan is also a useful tool for leveraging additional sources of funding prior to, or in the event of, a natural disaster. The ommittee invites local businesses, citizens, and neighboring municipalities to comment on the update. The plan will be available for review during a public comment period from October 2 – 12, at the Gilford Town Hall, Gilford Public Library, and online at the town’s website http://www.gilfordnh.org/Public_ Documents/GilfordNH_WebDocs/ HMPdraft.pdf. Comments on the plan should be sent via email or postal mail on or before October 12, to: Chief Stephen Carrier, Gilford Emergency Management Director. 39 Cherry Valley Road, Gilford, NH 03249, scarrier@ gilfordnh.org or to David Jeffers, Regional Planner, Lakes Region Planning Commission, 103 Main Street Suite #3 Meredith, NH 03253 djeffers@lakesrpc.org.
