Antique Appraisal Day At Gilmanton Year-Round Library August 24

Gilmanton GYRLA_Barn_May_2009_002.jpg

Gilmanton Year-Round Library hosts an Antique Appraisal Day on Sunday, August 24th from 1-3 pm.

 

Antique Appraisal Day comes to the Gilmanton Year-Round Library on Sunday, August 24th, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm.  Two expert appraisers will be on hand to give verbal appraisals.    The Library is located on NH Route 140 across from the Gilmanton School. 

 

Caroline, French, an appraiser for over 40 years, is generously donating her expertise and time.  Ms. French is a member of the NH Antiques Dealers Association, NE Appraisers Association, Made in New Hampshire, ‘Strawbery Banke’, Currier Museum and a life member of the NH Historical Society.  For 12 years Ms. French was owner of the Parker-French Antique Center in Northwood, NH, one of the oldest group shops in New Hampshire.

 

Caroline French has donated her time and talent to support many libraries in New England.  When asked about her generosity, she said:  “I love libraries.  My mother was a Librarian at Phillips Exeter and I have a Masters in Library Science that I used as a school librarian for several years in Durham.  I volunteer on Monday mornings in Rollingsford Public Library”!

 

The second appraiser for this Appraisal Day is Devin Moisan, a local auctioneer. Mr. Moisan has had extensive experience in appraising antiques and personal estates.  Both French and Moisan have complementary knowledge in the field of antiques.

 

Library doors open at 12:15 on the 24th of August for this community event. Participants will be given a numbered ticket to sort out the order of appraisals.  There’s a limit of 3 items ($5 per item) for the first round of appraisals, but you may bring more items to be appraised after everyone’s had their 3 items evaluated.   Photos of items too large to be brought can be used. Appraisal Day hours may extend beyond 3:00 pm depending on the number of items presented.  A Silent Auction is also planned during this event.

 

Start that search for those family heirlooms. Find out their true value and you’ll be saying: “Wow, are you kidding? I can’t believe it”!

Letter To The Editor

Massissippi:  Coming Soon 

(Is New Hampshire Next?)

 

ONCE UPON A TIME, in the then sleepy state of Mississippi, a cartel of business and lawmakers introduced new laws intended to boost private profits and tax revenue:  Riverboat Gambling. Charming and quaint, given Mississippi’s colorful riverboat gambling history.  However, in Mississippi, once the “gambling camel” got its nose under the tent, the gambling camel came in all the way ...

 

Later, closer reading and interpretation of the state’s gambling laws yielded new interpretations:  The Riverboats are not required to be on a river, just docked somewhere, and later, that new gambling casinos can be constructed on dry land...

 

Poor Ol’ Miss never has been the same, as gambling spawned an artificial non-native culture of crime, addiction, sprawl, environmental and social degradation ... all the usual results. Money is harvested by government and special interests, and social costs and damages are borne ... by the Public. Mississippi’s “Coast” gambling region now is a foreign place.

 

Now it appears that Massachusetts soon will be jumping in, major casino development plans firmly in place.  

 

“We’re broke, let’s do anything to get increased tax revenue.” “We want to cash in on the sure bet of profits due to losers coming to our gambling casinos.” Short-sighted thinking, long-term harms. Few benefit, many pay.  Lovely.

 

But of course, the big money and political lobbying groups are behind it, pushing ...

 

Will the Mass. effects spill over into New Hampshire?  Will New Hampshire, in the future, be short-sighted enough to chase here the near term dollars, hanging like ripe fruit in the casino game, at expense of damage to our Populace?  

 

Will we become Mississippi, Massissippi, or, God Help Us, New Jersey, all over again?

 

Newississippi doesn’t settle very well.  Please think and choose wisely, New Hampshire.  “Live Free Or Die.”
