Characters of the County: To the Point with Jim Hazell

at

Fitting in is something Jim Hazell, the enthusiastic, affable Bristol Parks and Recreation employee and maple syrup maker, has done so well in the area that people assume he’s always been in Lincoln County. In a spiritual sense, Hazell may have, but physically, the former Marblehead, Mass. police officer and award-winning Realtor has only been in Bristol since 2015.

The ghouls and goblins have fled until the next year, leaving us bereft of their elusive whimsy of shape and excitement as fall fades in November. October has lingered with colors slowly fading, but after a couple of days of Indian summer, chill has come here to stay and we turn to the warmth of indoors.

Saturday was a busy day in Whitefield. The library had its annual fall festival. Seeing kids painting pumpkins, their faces, and their nails added such a wonderful element. Besides the many scrumptious looking baked items, the vegetarian chili was the best I’ve ever had and my husband said the meat chili was just as delicious. Music by Rusty Hinges was, as always, toe tapping fun. A new QR code payment method was unveiled and worked like a charm.

The Eveready Bunny, aka Kendrick Wilson, moved back to his home this past Monday after an eight-month long stay with Lara Decker. Lara and her son, Jack, dedicated themselves to providing him with a home full of laugher, delicious meals, and lots of care and love. There were also other friends that pitched in along the way. Lara, Tom Cusick and Judi Olson will continue to help him out at home along with Comfort Keepers.

Since October is National Animal Safety and Protection Month, this would be the perfect time to go over the safety plan in your home when it comes to your pets. It is a regrettable reality that something could go wrong at any time and your pet could be left without your care for an extended period. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to ensure that your pet’s discomfort is mitigated or even eliminated during this time.
