Feinstein Challenge
Update
First I’d like to thank everyone for their support.
Our donors, our volunteers, and all involved did a great job.
You make Loudon Food Pantry possible. We appreciate everything
you do!
We have gone over the figures and found that we collected
$4,219.58 (Funds = $2,256.88 and Food = $1,962.70) towards the
challenge. Although we did not make our goal of $5,000.00, we
came really close. We have forwarded all documentation to
Feinstein and will receive a check from the organization by the end
of August. We’ll keep you updated!
Donations
This is a
tough time of the year for all food pantries and soup kitchens.
During the holidays is when people feel the most generous. We
appreciate that generosity. But times are tough and the
households in need are in need year around.
Please remember, if
you are going to donate, please do so locally. Doing this
ensures that your donation goes directly to those in need in your
area.
If you would like to donate to Loudon Food Pantry you can
do so by mailing funds to or visiting us at 30 Chichester Rd., Unit
D., Loudon NH. We have an updated list of items in need on our
website at
LoudonFoodPantry.org. If you have any questions,
please call (603) 724-9731.
Just in case no one has told you
lately, thank you for your help and your support. It means
more than you know!

Letter
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
This
week, the House met on the last Senate bills. First we dealt with
twelve at once, then concurred with minor Senate amendments on
another four. We disagreed with the Senate and asked to form
Committees of Conference on seven more bills.
SB88, on physical
force in self-defense, was amended to include a number of provisions
from other bills, including concealed carry without a license, not
needing a license to carry a firearm in a vehicle, and establishing
that merely showing a weapon is not “brandishing”. An amendment,
pushed by some gun groups, was tabled 257-92 since that language is
in another bill that the committee retained for further work. I
voted against tabling, as did Dan, because these issues deserved
debate; SB88 passed 248-111.
SB154, on the shoreline protection
act, had an amendment to include the text of HB519, repeal of the
Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and its electric power taxes. The
Senate has tabled HB519, but House leadership wanted to add that
language to a bill the Senate strongly supports, namely SB154. After
a brief debate, the amendment passed, 248-109 and the bill passed on
a voice vote.
SB70, remedies for landlords, has three effects:
decreasing the time landlords must store abandoned property;
decreasing damages for violators; and deleting the new requirement
that landlords register with the municipality. The last point, a fix
for one city’s problems with out of state slumlords, was debated
briefly. The amendment passed, 266-86, and the bill passed by
acclamation.
SB2, spending caps for municipalities, includes
procedures for cities, chartered towns, SB2 towns, and town meeting
towns to adopt tax and spending limits. It was not actually debated,
but one representative spoke at length about the stupidity of voters
and the need for town services. The bill passed, 276-95.

The
Epsom Public Library Is Pleased To Present,
As Its Current Exhibit
“The Same But Different”
Photographs By Mike White.
Mike White
has been capturing nature through the lens of a camera for
twenty-five years…give or take a weekend. Most of her time has
been spent on White’s Farm on Dowboro Road in Pittsfield.
She’s an “outdoor girl” and has put in her time observing nature
with its New England seasonal changes. Much of that
observation has taken place astride a horse--another love of her
life. Ms. White sees more than a good many of us, but, as is
the photographer’s way, she draws us into the scenes she photographs
and allows us to see what we might have otherwise missed. Most
of us understand and appreciate the beauty and simplicity of nature,
but not many of us can capture a scene like Mike White can.
For her showing at the Epsom Library, she has created groupings of
photographs that allow us to view seasonal changes of the same
location, creating an interesting visual transition for the viewer.
Mike White’s photographs will be available for viewing and purchase
from June 1st to July 16th and will be featured at a special public
reception on Saturday, June 25, from 2 to 4 pm.
Running concurrently with the photography exhibit is a handsome
display of handmade baskets and assorted needlework by Epsom
residents, Carolyn Davis and Sonia Noyes, as well as work by Derek
and Austin Ladd and Merisa and Jessica Kimball, all members of the
Victory Workers 4-H club.
Both exhibits may be viewed during
regular library hours; Monday – Thursday, 10 am to 7 pm, Saturday, 9
am to 1 pm. For more information, call the library at
736-9920.
At the
Memorial Day event this year, Epsom’s American Legion Post 112 is
preparing to lay a wreath for those seamen and merchant marines that
died for our country. The people in the photo from left to
right are: flag barriers, Bill Zarakotas and Cliff Simonds; Vice
Commander Mark Gonyer and Harvey Harkness. The three near the
rail are Rev. Tim Kenny, of Epsom Bible Church, who said the prayer
for the dead; Alexis Carigan prepares to receive a wreath from
commander LeDuc to drop it into the river. Commander Gerard
LeDuc would like to thank all the people who helped on the Memorial
Day Event this year.
