Letter


Dear Town of Epsom residents:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful people of Epsom and their families for allowing me to serve them for the last 9 years in taking care of the town cemeteries.  I know that many residents and their family members take pride in maintaining the cemeteries out of love and respect for their lost loved ones, and I have truly enjoyed every minute spent at the McClary, Short Falls, Bickford, Brown,and Libby cemeteries.  I too took pride in professionally maintaining the respected resting place for loved ones.  I also appreciate the words of gratitude I have received from the townspeople when visiting the cemeteries, as well as working with them over the years to resolve their issues and concerns.


Regrettably, the Board of Selectmen and Cemetery Trustees have decided to hire another contractor to do the mowing and maintenance of the town cemeteries this year due to budget issues, and unfortunately, I will not be serving the Town again this year.  As such, any future concerns regarding the cemeteries should  be directed to them.


Sincerely,
Kevin Riel
Epsom

 


 

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
This week, the House met to consider more Senate bills. First we passed ten bills at once, then concurred with minor Senate amendments on another ten. SB93, allowing pharmacists to administer pneumonia and shingles vaccines, as well as flu shots, passed without discussion. SB120, allowing limited advertisement of drink specials, passed 358-15, with the only discussion being on whether Representatives who had liquor licenses could vote on the bill. The advice was that, as long as the liquor license had been disclosed, the vote was not a conflict of interest. Dan and I voted for it, as did Representative Keith Murphy, who is our co-owner in Murphy’s Taproom. Representatives Jon Richardson and Tony Soltani also voted in favor of this bill.


SB40, making technical corrections to the rooms and meals tax laws, had an amendment to cut the tobacco tax by $0.10 per pack. There was a brief debate on whether this would actually increase or decrease tax revenues before the amendment passed, 272-108, and the bill passed on a voice vote.


The session was coming to a close without a vote on the Governor’s veto of HB474, Right to Work, which had been expected. Representative Soltani, who opposes this bill, attempted to speak against the procedural “third reading” motion. His speech, essentially stating that if it passed we couldn’t address the veto today, was repeatedly gaveled down as out of order until he was escorted back to his seat. The motion passed, 255-119.


All constituents are invited to meet with me and Dan at home on Sunday, June 5, to discuss legislation for next year. Anyone who wants more information than I can fit into a letter should email me for my newsletter.

Epsom Public Library  News
College Planning Workshop


A free workshop on college costs and funding options will be held at the library on Tuesday, June 14, from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.  Presented by Lee A. Waldvogel, a College Outreach Specialist from the New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance Foundation, the workshop will instruct attendees on how to navigate the college financing process. Further information may be obtained by calling the library at 736-9920 or e-mailing www.nhheaf.org.

 
Book Club
The Book Club will meet on Wednesday, June 15, at 6:30 p.m. to discuss Jamie Ford’s “Hotel On The Corner Of Bitter And Sweet.”  The Library Journal comments that “Ford expertly nails the sweet innocence of first love, the cruelty of racism, the blindness of patriotism, the astonishing unknowns between parents and their children, and the sadness and satisfaction at the end of a life well lived. The result is a vivid picture of a confusing and critical time in American history.”  Anyone wishing to join in the discussion is invited to stop by the library to pick up a copy of the book.


Computer Workshop
Anyone wishing to learn how to navigate a webpage document is invited to attend a workshop at the library on either Wednesday, June 15, from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. or Wednesday, June 22 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.  Participants must sign up at the front desk of the library as each class is limited to eight people.
