Connor Locke of the Epsom Central School took a step to becoming an internationally recognized artist by winning a local competition sponsored by the Epsom-Chichester Lions Club.

 

Connor’s poster was among more than 350,000 entries submitted worldwide in the 18th annual Lions International Peace Poster Contest. Lions Clubs International sponsors the contest to emphasize the importance of world peace to young people everywhere.

 

The poster was chosen by the Epsom-Chichester Lions Clubs based on its originality, artistic merit, and portrayal of the contest theme, “Vision of Peace.”

 

Epsom-Chichester Lions Club President, James Falzone, said he is impressed by the expression and creativity of the students at the Epsom Central School.  “It is obvious that these young people have strong ideas about what peace means to them.  I’m so proud that we were able to provide them with the opportunity to share their visions.”


Connor’s poster is advancing through Lions District 44 where there is stiff competition.


One grand prize winner and 23 merit award winners will be chosen.   The grand prize is a $2500 award plus a trip for the winner and two family members for a ceremony at the United Nations on Lions Day.


You may view the winning posters at www.lionsclubs.org.  The Epsom-Chichester Lions Club has conducted this contest for many years and encourages other local schools to participate.


If you would like to visit the local Lions Club meeting please call 736-9942 for information.

Yes, it is that magical time of the year!  Many of us are preparing for the holidays, preparing for winter, and some of us are preparing for our March Town Meetings!


The members of the Epsom Budget Committee have been holding weekly meetings for the past few months.  The town department heads have presented their budgets to the Board of Selectmen and the Budget Committee.  I am pleased to note that Epsom residents should be proud of their diligent and dedicated town employees and officials. The budgets presented have been reasonable and carefully prepared.  There are a number of departments and committees who give countless hours of volunteered time to keep Epsom’s town government running smoothly and efficiently.


Our Town Office managers, Town Clerk and Tax Collector, Police, Fire/Ambulance/Emergency Management, Highway Dept., Cemetery Trustees,  Park Committee, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Adjustments, Compliance Officer, Conservation Committee, the library, welfare officer, health officer, and school board have each brought their budgets to the committee for review and questions.  The budget committee has had the privilege of learning more about how our town departments operate and citizens are encouraged to attend the public hearing on January 13 at 7 pm at the Epsom Town Offices.


The next few meetings on Thursday evenings will be work sessions and citizens are welcome to attend to listen.  In early February there will be the deliberative sessions for the Town and School Budgets.   Remember this is OUR town and we can all be part of it!  Join the process!


Virginia Drew, Budget Committee member
Epsom, NH

 


 

Letter


To my constituents:
Besides the health insurance and pension bills described in the last two letters, I’ve filed four other bills:


• A bill to eliminate the Rail Transit Authority.  Government-funded passenger rail for commuters, if it is ever appropriate, is for densely populated areas. It is just plain silly in a rural state like New Hampshire.  Ticket receipts never bring in more than a  fraction of the cost of running the trains, let alone the cost to build the system.   Eliminating the Authority would prevent them from issuing as much as $125 million in new debt.


• Forming a committee to study the elimination of turnpikes and tolls, and replacing them with highway and the gas tax.  If implemented, this would save motorists about $40 million a year.  Tolls bring in roughly $100 million a year, but we estimate that 40% of that is spent on collections: EZ-Pass, armored cars, the guys with their hands out, etc.  The gas tax costs almost nothing to collect, especially since we already have one.


• A bill to give teachers who discipline unruly students some legal protection from lawsuits if they act reasonably.  Teachers should not have to worry about getting sued if they intervene to stop disruptive behavior.


• Eliminating the concept of over voting.  The explanation of this is a bit longer than I can do justice to in this short space.  If you’ve ever voted for someone who was not your first choice (because your first choice “couldn’t win”) then you should like this bill.
I welcome hearing from you at [email protected], or 782-4918.


Yours,
Rep. Dan McGuire
Epsom
