Acts Of Kindness
I want to say that people do reach out to help. My roof was reroofed
this past fall by a nice carpenter and his men. After the storms it was
in bad need of clearing of ice and snow. I called over to Mahachik Builders.
Dave sent over two men to do the clearing of the roof. They
did a GREAT job all out of the kindness of their hearts.
Thank you, Dave and your crew,
for being so thoughtful.

What Part Of “We’re Not Interested“ Don’t
You All Understand?
I’m referencing the
Feb. 11, 2009, part two meeting held before the Epsom Planning
Board. The purpose was to resume discussions about a proposed 42-unit
cluster housing development by someone who lives in a jungle known as Nashua. Ask him/her why he/she can’t get the
go ahead for that project in his/her city. Epsom residents clearly voiced a
unanimous voice in their objection to this project. Most of you don’t know
the proposed construction site would be right in the middle of (my words) a
minefield. Do a drive by, from either end.
On Aug.
22, 2005
this Goboro Rd.
resident filed a complaint accompanied by a 24 name written petition with Wayne Preve, Chief Epsom, Police Dept.
This same complaint was filed with Representative Joanne Randall
under the date of
May 29, 2007. Chief
Preve, mentioned he was already spending extra
time cruising this area (locations of complaints), which appears to be
acceptable to most of the residents. I guarantee if this project goes
through, complaints will more than double, motor vehicle accidents will
increase and there may even be a need for a satellite police station. Should
any of you desire a copy of the aforementioned petition, and letters, kindly
send your request in a self addressed, stamped envelope to: Jim Breagy 244
Goboro Road, Epsom, NH 03234.
