On Wednesday, January 24
at 1:30 the Epsom Library will be showing the film Atomic Blonde.
This R-rated film is a high-stakes action thriller taking place in
Berlin on the eve of the wall’s collapse. Charlize Theron plays a
top-level spy for MI6 (think female James Bond) who is sent to
Berlin to take down a ruthless espionage ring. She must use
all her skills in pursuing a threat that jeopardizes the West’s
entire intelligence program.

Epsom Food Pantry
Good morning everyone.
Another busy week at the Pantry. Along with orders to put away
and general work of the Pantry, the furnace decided to give us a
“fit.” So, when that quits, so does the bathroom. After much
running around and with the help of Don Harty and Ken, we were able
to restore heat to our home of food.
I am still receiving
donations to the Pantry in memory of Bob Hahn. Also, let me
tell you a tale of a church here in Epsom, New Rye Congregational,
that donated their Christmas offering to the Pantry and that same
church’s Ladies Aide group also gave us lovely donation, along
with churches from Pittsfield that through the year never forget us
make me realize what wonderful caring folks that we live with every
day.
We also received a
donation from Steve Hambleton, Camp Carpenter manager, in memory of
Bob. Lastly, our dear friends, the Werner sisters. Thank you
one and all.
I received a thank you
note from the Care Net Staff for our donation of diapers and baby
food. Well, let’s hope the weather improvesand the ice melts. Be
careful and...
Until next time,
Priscilla
Letter
To my constituents in
Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,
This week, the
legislaturee met to consider the remaining 2017 bills. HB 287,
creating a committee to study sex work, was debated and passed,
177-134. HB 656, legalizing possessing and growing marijuana, was
debated at length, not killed, 162-183, then passed, 207-139. I
supported both these bills because it seems to me that prohibiting
these behaviors causes more harm than the behaviors themselves.
HB 317, prohibiting the
public utilities commission from increasing the system benefits
charge without legislative approval, was debated and passed,
173-171. My committee defended its recommendation to kill HB 92,
updating the building code and HB 168, updating the fire code. After
fairly brief debates, both were killed, 188-157 and 183-149. HB 413,
requiring the state to pay some of the employer contributions to the
retirement system, was also debated and killed, 172-166, since the
House had included funds for this purpose in the budget.
SB 48, creating a
commission to study the funding of the Fish & Game Commission, was
debated at length, not killed, 160-177, not tabled, 164-175, then
passed on a voice vote.
My committee started its
hearings with HB 1738, which transferred the division of film from
natural and cultural resources to the division of travel and
tourism. This bill was supported by both agencies and the division
(one person and $1000 per year for marketing); we were ready to pass
it immediately except the sponsor wanted to change the effective
date. HB 1434, consolidating the council on developmental
disabilities under the governor’s council on disabilities, brought
out more than 30 people who worked with the council and were opposed
to any change. They and the sponsors of the bill gave us different
interpretations of the overarching federal laws, so the bill went to
subcommittee for analysis.
