Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
Tuesday, I started the day by supporting HB287, Representative Giuda’s bill, to address the erosion and sediment migration in the Suncook River since the 2006 avulsion. I cosponsored the bill, but the other Representatives have been doing all the work on it. They presented it to the Public Works Committee, and explained the damage the river has done since it overflowed into the gravel pit.


My committee heard HB444, making John Stark Day a state holiday. This bill created a new holiday on the fourth Monday in April in honor of General John Stark, a bit more serious than just a governor’s proclamation. We’ll probably support it as long as it doesn’t involve giving state employees a paid day off from work – we can’t afford that!
HB480, establishing a program for state licensing of renovation, repair and painting contractors, in the name of protecting children from lead paint, faced a lot of opposition. One concern was that currently certified lead contractors tend to be specialists. A lot of contractors, while aware of the dangers of working with lead, aren’t themselves certified but hire specialists when they have to deal with it. This program would require everyone working on older buildings to get a license.


HB476, creating an independent board of psychologists, was a long and intense hearing. There are about 550 licensed psychologists in the state, of the 2300 or so professionals, of five disciplines, regulated by the Board of Mental Health Practice. They seemed to feel that having a separate board was professional validation, a sign of respect, rather than a practical matter of ensuring the most fitting regulation.

 

Anyone interested in what is going on in the State House is invited to email or call me. Anyone who wants more information than I can fit into a letter should email me for my newsletter.

Epsom Fire Department Auxiliary


The Epsom Fire Department Auxiliary has been busy these last few months. September and November elections saw a few of our very dedicated members spend the entire day greeting all who turned out to vote,  selling the cookbooks, and Pizza Hut cards for our ongoing fundraiser. We deeply appreciate all the Epsom residents who stopped by our table to show their support for our continued efforts to obtain the needed updates for the “Rapid Intervention Bag” for our firemen.


In November the Auxiliary participated in the Bektash Shriners Fez-tival of trees. The Shriners support 22 orthopedic and burn hospitals providing all care and services to patients regardless of their ability to pay.


Our donation of a decorated tree was a huge success thanks to all who donated items. Our tree looked  awesome! Our theme for the tree was “Safe home for the holidays.”  We had everything from a smoke detector, to toy fire engines, child proof items, puzzles, coloring books, flashlights, first aid kit etc.


Special thanks to all who spent their Friday evening setting everything up, Lori Carignan, Roberta Brooks, Leigh-Ann French, Janet Porter and also the superb help of four Pembroke Academy students; Jacob and Emma from Pembroke,   and Kiki and Matthew from Epsom. Those students earned community service hours for their help. We look forward to doing this again.


The Fire Auxiliary meets at 7pm on the first Wednesday of each month at the Epsom Fire Station.
