Any donations people or businesses can make would be gratefully accepted.

Strathspey And Reel Society Present 21st Gala Concert

Local glass artisan and fiddler Bruce Cobb will once again be performing with the Strathspey And Reel Society of New Hampshire in its twenty-first Annual Gala Scottish Concert, November 29, 2009, at 2:30 p.m. at the Concord (NH) City Auditorium. This year, in addition to performing in the Scottish Gala, he is also playing fiddle for the Pittsfield Players’ production of Big River, running from Nov. 6 -14.


This year’s concert should be particularly exciting. It will be led by SRSNH‘s new Music Director Emerald Rae. A vibrant performer and member of the Celtic Americana folk group Annalivia, Emerald is a U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion. As a child, she played the fiddle with SRSNH, and now she‘s back to lead the group.


This year‘s Gala soloist is pianist Jacqueline Schwab (www.jacquelineschwab.com), well known for her playing in Ken Burns‘ documentaries. The theme of the concert is  Scotland Comes to America, so expect some American favorites and Scottish-style tunes by American composers, as well as traditional Scottish reels, jigs, marches, airs, and, of course, the characteristic dotted-rhythm strathspeys. The award-winning students of the Calder School of Highland Dance will be accompanied by expert piper Derek Davidson (also prominent as the Managing Director of the New Hampshire Highland Games.) And as always, the 55-member SRSNH orchestra will be filling the hall with its exuberant Scottish sound.


Ticket prices in advance are $20; $15, and $10; at the door, $22, $17, and $12. Call (603) 437-3497. Thanks to generous support from the Benjamin Couch Trust, (TD Bank, Trustee) music teachers, music students, and veterans can call the same number to receive a free ticket to the concert.


Membership in SRSNH is open to musicians of any instrument or playing level, and to listeners, dancers, and people interested in Scottish culture. See www.srsnh.org for schedule and news.

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor,
I am writing today to speak on behalf of land owners who have posted their property to protect the property and to know who it is who is on said property!   Some just outright post the property and some post with written permission only!


This kind of posting does not always mean that the property is not to be hunted on but one must first receive permission to do so.  After that permission is granted, when one goes to hunt on or across that property it is common courtesy to inform the land owner that you will be there and that this is what I drive. This way they know who is using the property at the moment!


When a hunter is approached on posted property, proper etiquette is not to become belligerent and argumentative but to be cooperative and speak respectfully! Perhaps a better manner in which to address those who inquire or try to inform said hunter that he or she might want to inform the land owner (permission or not) of their intent for the day and that the law states as much, might be a simple thank you! Perhaps this might be the better attitude to engage. The other is sour grapes and is the reason that lands all over are being posted, and the reason why written permission only is given in many places now!   You are the kind of person who gives those who enjoy the hunt for what it is a very bad name and leaves a very bad taste in the mouth!


Sincerely,
Carole Dodge

 


 

Five-Year Plan Unveiled At Homeless Summit


Recently, at the “VA National Summit Ending Homelessness Among Veterans” Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki unveiled the department’s comprehensive plan to end homelessness among Veterans by marshalling the resources of government, business and the private sector.


“President Obama and I are personally committed to ending homelessness among Veterans within the next five years,” said Shinseki. “Those who have served this nation as Veterans should never find themselves on the streets, living without care and without hope.”


Shinseki’s comprehensive plan to end homelessness includes preventive measures like discharge planning for incarcerated Veterans re-entering society, supportive services for low-income Veterans and their families and a national referral center to link Veterans to local service providers. Additionally, the plan calls for expanded efforts for education, jobs, health care and housing.


“Our plan enlarges the scope of VA’s efforts to combat homelessness,” said Shinseki. “In the past, VA focused largely on getting homeless Veterans off the streets. Our five-year plan aims also at preventing them from ever ending up homeless.”


Other features of the plan outlined by Shinseki include:


* The new Post-9/11 GI Bill provides a powerful option for qualified Veterans to pursue a fully funded degree program at a state college or university. It is a major component of the fight against Veteran homelessness.


* VA is collaborating with the Small Business Administration and the General Services Administration to certify Veteran-owned small businesses and service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses for listing on the Federal Supply Register, which enhances their visibility and competitiveness - creating jobs for Veterans.
* VA will spend $3.2 billion next year to prevent and reduce homelessness among Veterans. That includes $2.7 billion on medical services and more than $500 million on specific homeless programs.


* VA aggressively diagnoses and treats the unseen wounds of war that often lead to homelessness - severe isolation, dysfunctional behaviors, depression and substance abuse. Last week, VA and the Defense Department cosponsored a national summit on mental health that will help both agencies better coordinate mental health efforts.


* VA partners with more than 600 community organizations to provide transitional housing to 20,000 Veterans. It also works with 240 public housing authorities to provide permanent housing to homeless Veterans and their families under a partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The VA/HUD partnership will provide permanent housing to more than 20,000 Veterans and their families.


Over the duration of the conference it is expected that over 1,200 homeless service providers from federal and state agencies, the business community, and faith-based and community providers will attend and participate in the summit.


“This is not a summit on homelessness among Veterans,” added Shinseki “It’s a summit on ending homelessness among Veterans.”

From the Desk of the Pittsfield Board of Selectmen


Submitted By: Linda Small, Chair
 In recognizing that it’s been a while since the Board has touched base with you we believe it’s time, most particularly in light of the fact there is much to report on. Having said this, here goes…


The first news I’d like to share on behalf of the Board (of which I’m certain you noticed when you received your tax bill) is the decrease in the 2009 tax rate. While it may not seem like a large savings, I think we can all agree that every little bit helps in this economy. Additionally, it didn’t increase which, in itself, is a good thing! With the continued combined efforts of the Board of Selectmen, School Board and staff I remain confident that we can maximize the efficiency of operations.


Speaking of which, budget season is once again upon us. The Board continues to be proactive in stabilizing the budget while carefully monitoring spending. The upcoming year should be no exception given the recession that we are in. Some difficult decisions have been made in anticipation of a rocky economic road ahead of us. Thus far we are thankful that we have not yet had to resort to the drastic compromises that other communities have had to. At the same time it is our responsibility to do what is right by you, as that is what we took an oath to do. We will continue to do our very best in keeping a reasonable balance between services and spending.


We are excited to be working alongside the Economic Development Committee (EDC, Scott Spradling and the Suncook Valley Regional Development Corporation (SVRDC). The October 24th Business Forum brought together business owners, board and committee members, and residents in a mutual setting that was both enlightening and beneficial. Many doors to new ideas are opening, and we look forward to walking through some of them together over the upcoming months. Some great things are happening in Pittsfield, despite the economic downturn. Helpful aids will continue to be sought and put into our “tool box” to help equip businesses to either set up or maintain successful shop, so to speak, in Pittsfield. The EDC continues to solicit your help so please feel free to contact them with your feedback ([email protected]).


Of course, with any business endeavor comes the need for good, sound planning. Therefore we are pleased to support the Planning Board in its attempt to make our process more business user friendly. Matt Monahan of Central New Hampshire Regional Planning Commission (CNHRPC) has allied with us in this effort and comes with much land use knowledge, not to mention his genuine enthusiasm for Pittsfield! Those of you who attended the business forum were able to witness this first hand in his representation for the EDC.


There are several other project undertakings deserving of at least touching upon as well. First, we have been state approved for well needed traffic lights at the intersection of Route 28 and Leavitt Road. The project went out to bid in October and should be underway soon. Next, we have been approved for an $18,000 engineering study grant through the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program. The purpose of the study is to determine the foot routes that are most commonly traveled by students going to school. We are hopeful to qualify for assistance in improving our sidewalks. Many thanks to the Pittsfield School Administrative Unit #51 for the efforts that have been put forward in this endeavor! Last, the town received a $5,000 grant through the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation for drug education. The Pittsfield Drug and Alcohol Coalition have been working closely with parents, faith-based organizations, businesses, the School District and the Police Department in an on-going effort to educate our children on the adverse effects of drug use. Many thanks to all involved in this worthy cause!


We apologize for the less than eye appealing condition of the Concord Hill sidewalk/retaining wall. In understanding the safety compromise we have communicated our concern to the State and have been instructed to apply for enrollment into the State Aid Highway program in order to assure expedition of the project, which we have done. It is now in the hands of the NH Department of Transportation, and the Board eagerly awaits the repairs to be done in the very near future.


While this summary is certainly not exhaustive of all that is happening within and throughout Pittsfield it does give you a good idea of how hard your representatives have been working on your behalf. It has taken and will continue to require team work amongst boards, committees, staff members, business owners and residents if we want to be successful in keeping Pittsfield a place to call home. If you would like to get involved please call Paul Skowron at 435-6773. Although much has been accomplished there is always something more to do!

 



“What’s Happening at PYW?”
By Paula Driscoll, Program Director

Back row to front: Mike Hayes, Melodie Hudgens, Daniel Colon-Pagan, Quinn Steeves, Ethan Whitehead, Raman Keith, Katelyn Gonzalez, Dana Hudgens, Megan Moody, Nathaniel Jackson, Paula Driscoll, Heather Cole, Katie Whitehead, Jonathan Eastman


October was a busy month for the Pittsfield Youth Workshop (PYW).  PYW participants went indoor and outdoor rock climbing, hiked Parker Mountain in Strafford NH, carved pumpkins - thanks to a donation from Paul Metcalf, and spent many days building a Haunted House.


Our Haunted House Fundraising Event was held on Halloween night. We hope that everyone had a chance to experience the terrors and chills of our haunted house while supporting PYW programs at the same time. We want to thank Ace Hardware for the donation of plastic and strobe lights, the man that stopped by and dropped off a large box of individual bags of popcorn for the youth, Scott Jackson, Jim Maestranzi, and Jen Cole for helping with crowd control, collecting money, and handing out goody bags while Jonas Glidden scared so many trick-or- treaters. And we can’t forget the many youth that helped build the Haunted House and gave up their night to let others have a good scare. Nice Job!


Upcoming Events: November 16th, PYW will be traveling to Concord to the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium (no school);  Wednesday, November 25th we will be providing our Thanksgiving Family Dinner and before we can blink an eye PYW’s youth will be making Gingerbread Houses to be raffled off at the Tree Lighting Ceremony Saturday, December 5th.


Just a reminder: PYW Drop-in hours are Monday through Friday from 3-6 PM.

 
Please feel free to contact Paula Driscoll or Zach Powers at [email protected] with any questions or to make a donation. Make sure to check out our website at www.pittsfieldyouthworkshop.org for our calendar of events or the latest pictures of what the youth have been doing!
