On Wednesday, March 22
the Epsom Library will be showing the film A Man Called Ove at 1:30
PM. Tom Long of the Detroit News said that the film is a
“touching, funny and engrossing epic of ordinary life.” Ove is
a “grumpy old man” still grieving for his wife when a boisterous
young family moves in next door. His solitary world is upended
while memories come flooding back making us remember that life is
sweeter when it is shared.

Letter
To my constituents in
Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield, This week I had the pleasure
of presenting my HB386, on technical corrections to the education
tax credit, to the Ways & Means committee. With no opposition and
support from the department of revenue administration, they
immediately voted, 21-0, to recommend it to the full House.
The House meets for two
days this week, and I’m writing after Wednesday’s session. We
debated and approved several marijuana bills, adding chronic pain
and PTSD to the approved conditions and decriminalizing the
possession of small amounts. My committee recommendations were all
adopted, with some debate on HB184, the licensing of medical imaging
technicians; and HB584, increasing the retirement age for new hires.
HB599, establishing an ombudsman office, was tabled before the
debate.
Election law had a number
of bills, largely supported on party lines. HB320, establishing an
automatic redistricting process, was debated and defeated, 184-161,
with the comment that it was trying to take politics out of an
inherently political process. HB372, defining “resident”
consistently, was vigorously debated because some members want
people to be able to vote here without taking on the
responsibilities of a resident, such as registering a car here and
paying taxes. It passed, 188-163. HB622, allowing anyone to vote
absentee, was also debated before failing, 200-145, on competing
claims of voter turnout.

Epsom Food Pantry
Good Morning, everyone!
Well, it is still chilly, but when you read this hopefully it will
be warmer. Also, it’s voting day, and as good citizens you need to
head to the Polls. I shall be there helping the Supervisors.
Well, it has been a busy
week. We were gratefully appreciative of a large contribution from
the Epsom Bible Church.
I have been thinking it
is time for me to start my yearly nagging for our fresh vegetables
for the summer. You will be planting before you know it and I humbly
ask you not to forget the Food Pantry. Our members look forward to
those wonderful veggies as many folks do not have the space for a
garden.
Again, thank you, Epsom,
for your support.
Until next time,
Priscilla

Swap will run from

You do not need to make a

Call Joanne Randall at 344-8843 for more information or if you are
interested in volunteering.
You may bring donated
clothing beginning at 8:30 am. Clothing donations are not accepted
prior to the event.
All clothes need to be
clean and in good repair, and separated by size and gender. No rips
or stains please.
Both adult and children’s
clothing are accepted. No toys, equipment, or furniture please.
Clothes will be sorted
and distributed to tables by the person dropping them off.
Once clothes have been
sorted and distributed, you are free to begin gathering clothing in
the sizes you need.
Any clothing left at the
end of the swap will be delivered to a local charity drop off site.
We need volunteers for set up and break down, includes moving of
tables and bagging clothes. Thank you!
