BRADFORD—Next month marks the 100th anniversary of the death of a man whose figure still looms over downtown Bradford. So who exactly was Charles Clark?
Charles Edgar Clark was born in the family home on South Main Street on Aug. 10, 1843.
He was the second son of parents James Dayton and Mary Sexton Clark. The family genealogy shows the future rear admiral descended from military stock on both sides of the family with ancestors serving in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

BRADFORD—The Addison County town of Lincoln, Vermont is closer to Lake Champlain than the Connecticut River, but continuing fallout from a wave of education governance consolidation has its school district seeking a new home farther afield.
Depending on how things play out in neighboring towns, including Ripton, in the coming weeks, Lincoln’s school district may be in need of a new supervisory union.

WEST FAIRLEE—Several teachers in the Rivendell Interstate School District asked board members to examine educator salaries at the meeting on Sept. 6.
Rivendell Academy digital culture leader and robotics teacher Kerry Browne said teacher salaries in the district lag behind other area districts.

BATH—In the early morning hour of Aug. 30 at approximately 1:30 a.m., the Bath Fire Department was dispatched to 575 Monroe Road, the Roy family farm, for the report of a barn fire.
In an interview, Bath Fire Chief Don Bowman said once he arrived on scene, it was clear that more manpower from other departments was necessary to extinguish the fire in the barn, which was overly smoky since the barn was full of multiple round hay bales. Six fire departments in total responded to the fire, including Bath, Lisbon, Monroe, Haverhill, Wells River, and Ryegate.

NORTH HAVERHILL–—On Sept. 13, the New Hampshire State Primary Election will be held.
While there are several statewide and federal contests for both Democrats and Republicans, one local primary features two North Haverhill men—Glenn Libby and Matthew Bjelobrk—seeking the Republican nomination for the District 2 seat on the Grafton County Commission.
Incumbent Linda Lauer, D-Bath, is not seeking re-election to the three-member commission. The winner of the Republican primary will face Marcia McLeod, D-Franconia, in November.
