Epsom Food Pantry

 

Well, Fall has arrived and we are certainly busy at the Pantry.  In doing our inventory of stock we see that we need more soup for the members. So, if and when you are thinking about a donation, soup would be just great.

 

We have several drop off spots in town such as TD Bank, Care Pharmacy, Library, C21 Thompson RE and our newest, Subway at the circle. If you cannot make the Pantry itself these are always available.

 

Again, your gardens were just great and we had  such a great variety. Thank you all so much from the staff and members of the Epsom Food Pantry.

 

Until next time,

Priscilla

 


 

Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,

The House met this week to act on the Governor’s vetoes, with the Constitutional requirement of 2/3 of those present and voting to overturn the veto. We first considered HB591, on abusive work environment, which was sponsored by Representative Dianne Schuett of Pembroke, with Frank Davis (Pembroke) and Alan Turcotte (Allenstown) cosponsors. This bill, as passed by the House, had required state agencies to develop policies to prevent abusive work environments, and there was plenty of testimony about bad morale and poor management. The Senate version, which was finally adopted, included very broad definitions that appeared to create opportunities to game the system and embroil the state in incessant litigation. The debate was between those who wanted to pass, right now, a flawed bill to show concern for the employees, and those who believed management actions of this type should not require legislation, or that any legislation should be better thought through. The vote was 141-154, so that veto stood.

 

HB685, confirming that the legislative budget assistant auditors can access confidential material – as they have for years - was debated between some lawyers who wanted to maintain lawyer-client privilege at all costs and those who use the audit material and know how well auditors treat confidential material. Both Republican and Democrat leadership spoke in favor of overriding the veto, but the 190-113 vote didn’t reach 2/3.

 

HB1244, forbidding the lottery commission from releasing the names of winners without their consent, was debated on the principles of personal privacy versus government transparency. The 160-142 vote was not enough to override the veto.

 

I expect legislation on all three topics next session, hopefully more carefully crafted.

 

Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details than fit here.

 

Representative Carol McGuire

Janet M. Gordon

Epsom Gordon,_Janet.jpg

Epsom - Janet M. (Paquin) Gordon, 88, died Thursday, September 11, 2014 at her home on Bishop Lane in Epsom.

 

Born in Haverhill, MA on February 13, 1926, Janet was the daughter of Frank and Mary (Miller) Paquin.  She was a graduate of Groveland (MA) High School and after her move to New Hampshire, spent many years in Salisbury before retiring to Epsom.

 

Although she had worked at a variety of jobs early in her life, Janet was primarily a stay-at-home mom, eventually caring for her own elderly mother.

 

Mrs. Gordon was an accomplished classical pianist and singer.  She enjoyed playing the piano for people and also the organ at the Salisbury Congregational Church, of which she was a member. 

 

Her pets, especially her 7 beloved cats, were her number one priority.  She devoted herself to animal care and feral cat rehabilitation, and was a member of several animal welfare organizations.

 

Janet was the widow of Richard A. Gordon, who died in 2009 and to whom she had been married 60 years.  She is survived by a daughter, Jean Wyatt and her husband Craig of Chichester; a son, Bruce Gordon and his wife Andrea of Peoria, AZ; 2 grandchildren, Grant Gordon and his wife Sam of Plainfield and Rachel Gordon of Canaan.

 

In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution in Janet’s name to a worthy animal rescue organization.

 

Tom Petit of the Still Oaks Funeral & Memorial Home is assisting with arrangements and offers an on-line guestbook at stilloaks.com.
