illness of his mother. He soon is swept up into the problems of his
dysfunctional family. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine says
“John Krasinski directs with humor and compassion while Margo
Martindale proves she is one of the best actors. This film is
fiercely funny. ” This film is rated PG-13.
Epsom Food Pantry
Good afternoon one and
all. A really busy few weeks at the Pantry. Ken and crew, busy
putting food away and doing the usual chores of running a Pantry.
I want to thank Phil and
Nancy Yeaton for their donation. These folks are such great
supporters of the Pantry.
This week I would like to
speak about the purpose of the Food Pantry. This has been
established to help supplement the folks who receive food stamps or
perhaps fuel assistance or any other assistance to help them
maintain a good lifestyle.
Our Pantry is unique in
the fact that we have Liz, who is constantly getting many and
different items that do not fall in the general classification of
most Pantries. We have meat, chicken, fruit, vegetables bread, and
many different types of canned goods, and, of course, cereal.
Because we have been
fortunate to receive donations, we also supply paper goods and tooth
products among many of our offerings.
If you know of anyone in
town, not a member of the Pantry, and can use a helping hand, let
Ken or I know and we will contact them. No one should be starving in
the town of Epsom. We are here for you and glad that we can be.
Until next time,
Priscilla
Community Members Needed To Interview Class Of 2017
Pembroke Academy (PA)
will once again be conducting a series of interviews with members of
its Class of 2017 as part of the Pembroke Academy Performance
Project. One of the five requisite components for students to
participate in graduation ceremonies, the senior exit interview in
April/May is a catalyst for candid and reflective conversation with
graduating seniors.
Recent interview panels
have consisted of certified faculty, staff and administrators. At
one point in time, community members and business proprietors also
participated in interviewing graduating seniors. Pembroke Academy
currently seeks to reinstate that practice because of its
significant value to students, and as such, needs your help.
At this time, Pembroke
Academy is actively seeking community members in the towns of
Pembroke, Allenstown, Chichester, Epsom, and Hooksett to serve as
members of senior interview panels in the spring of 2017. Panels
usually consist of two to three adults, and would offer a mixture of
school personnel and community representation. Potential time
commitment would be at the discretion of volunteers, depending on
how many interviews they would like to be included in. Interviews
range from 20-30 minutes in length.
Anyone looking to become
involved should contact Headmaster Paul Famulari directly at
603-485-7881 or by email at [email protected].

Letter
To my constituents in
Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,
This week, the House had
another busy week of committee work. Mine had three days of
hearings, with one dedicated to building code issues. We heard HB80,
HB85, HB92, HB168, and HB301, all to a large audience of code
officials, architects, and the Building Code Review Board. All these
bills went to subcommittee since they need to checked for
compatibility, at the very least.
HB171, forbidding any
state or local agency to assist a federal agency in collecting
electronic data without a warrant, brought out a lot of questions,
but no conclusions. HB192, requiring rules of the Department of
Corrections go through the regular Rulemaking process, brought out a
lot of testimony on problems with sexual offenders and some issues
on the process; the bill went to subcommittee. HB202, requiring
state agencies to give two weeks’ notice before moving an office out
of a town or city, revealed a mass of non-communication and crossed
messages. I expect we’ll kill this bill as an attempt to legislate
courtesy and common sense.
HB125, having board
members of charter schools be appointed by governor and council
rather than recruited by the board, was only supported by the
sponsor. The attorney general’s Charitable Trusts division pointed
out a long list of issues, including that board members are hard to
recruit and turn over frequently, and that a board without a quorum
might cause a school to fail. We voted, 13-4, to kill the bill; the
opposition thought that there might well be a serious issue, but the
bill needed more work.
HB262, declaring the
blackberry as the state berry, was presented by a fourth grade class
from Warner. They did a great job, nobody opposed it, and we voted
12-1 to recommend the bill. I was the only opponent, partly because
of my experiences with blackberries in Washington, and partly
because I believe the state has too many symbols already.
