Epsom Public Library Activities


On May 1 at 7:00 p.m. the Epsom Historical Association, in conjunction with the Epsom Public Library will present Part One of Epsom History, featuring Carlton Rand. Mr. Rand will reprise his program on early Epsom history first presented in 2001. Because the presentation was seven years ago the library is repeating the original program and then will continue the history in another program in the fall. The May program will trace the founding of Epsom by following the first twenty home lots and the people who settled them. Settlers including the McClary, Wallace, Blake, McCoy and Locke families struggled to set up the town while meeting the requirements of settlement, such as building a meetinghouse, acquiring a preacher, building the first road and a garrison for protection. Inhabitants of Rye, Greenland, and New Castle set out to establish their new community.


There will be refreshments served during this entertaining and informative program.


For more information, call the Epsom Library at 736-9920 or email: [email protected].


On Friday, May 8th at 7:00 PM, The Friends of the Epsom Public Library will host “Two (Poetic) Tramps in Mud Time, An Evening of Poetry,” featuring the poets Maren C. Tirabassi of Portsmouth and Neil English of Epsom. The evening will begin with readings of several spring poems by Robert Frost, and Frost-inspired poems by Tirabassi. The remainder of the first half of the program will showcase the poetry of Tirabassi and English.


After a break for refreshments, the featured poets will turn the performance over to the members of the audience for a traditional “open mic” reading. This is the perfect opportunity for you to share that poem you’ve written that’s been languishing on the top of your bedroom dresser for waaay too long, or for you to share a favorite poem written by someone else.


Come prepared to listen to the stories of the poems, come prepared to hear the words sing from the page and come prepared to watch poetic images appear in your mind’s eye. But most of all, come prepared to enjoy an evening of the spoken word.


Art classes will continue on Mondays from 4:00 to 5:30 during the month of May. Children need to be accompanied by an adult who would also enjoy participating in the activities. Mary Frambach of the Gingerbread Cat Art Studio is the instructor. Participants must sign up in advance. There is a materials charge for each class. Contact the library for details.    


The book discussion group will be discussing Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See on May 20 at 6:30 p.m. If you would like to join the group you may pick up a copy of the book at the library.


On May 12 at 7:00 p.m. the library will sponsor “Gardening Basics for Vegetables.” A second workshop will be held on May 26 at 700 p.m. on “Container Gardening.” Both programs will be presented by The University of New Hampshire Master Gardener Speakers Bureau.

 


 

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield:
This week we had it easy in Concord - just three bills to vote on, and no debate on any. We are also revising our ethics rules to make clearer what is a conflict of interest and how it should be disclosed.


My committee, Executive Departments and Administration, which hears bills relating to the structure of state government, held a hearing Thursday on SB 132, which would create implementation plans to merge a number of departments. Over 250 people came to testify against this bill, most of them concerned about Fish & Game and Agriculture. Our Representative Margaret Porter was there to speak against the bill, but the public went first, and after 2 ½ hours of testimony the hearing had to end before any Representatives could speak. The committee will be working on this bill, reviewing the testimony and evaluating options. It seems to me that these are two of the smallest and most effective departments and there are probably better places to look for efficiency improvements.


Anyone interested in what is going on in the State House is invited to email or call me.

 

Representative Carol McGuire
