Awana Club Holds Annual Grand Prix Race
Epsom Bible Church Awana Club held their annual Grand Prix race on
Saturday, March 24th at the church gym. The Grand Prix is similar to
a Pinewood Derby, with the clubbers building their cars from a block
of wood.
We had 23 kids entering cars, which were eligible for trophies in
both the speed and design divisions. Four "heats" of races narrowed
the field down to just 3 cars by the final race in the speed
division.
The final winners in the Speed Division were:
• 1st place: Wanda Anderson
• 2nd place: Elijah Allen
• 3rd place: Rachel St. Louis
In the Design Division the winners were:
• 1st place: Tucker Sargent (a taco)
• 2nd place: Elijah Allen (a clothespin)
• 3rd place: Sarah Osborne (a rabbit).
Ribbons were presented to all the clubbers who participated.
Epsom Pack 80 Cub Scouts held its annual Pinewood Derby at the Epsom
Fire Station recently with about 40 racers participating in 120
heats of intense competition! This was a real EVENT with rockin’
music, an engaging MC, full concessions, and raucous fans! The
racing was action-packed, and the racers demonstrated some creative
and fast cars!

Letter
Are Rush Limbaugh supporters uninformed or simply forgetful? Calls
have been made for Limbaugh to be fired for outrageous comments he
made about a private citizen, a woman speaking up for birth control
pill inclusion in AHCA coverage. He called her a "sl--" among other
things on our freely accessed airwaves.
Limbaugh’s supporters whine that "those on the left...Comedian Bill
Maher and Radio Talk Show Host Don Imus were just as bad...".
What Limbaugh’s supporters are unaware of or have simply forgotten
is that rather than whining, Bill Maher and Don Imus each "took it
like a man" and moved on. One now has to pay a premium to listen to
their "outrageous" comments.

Letter
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
This week the House and Senate overrode the Governor’s veto of the
House redistricting plan, 246-112 and 17-7. Now it goes to the
Federal Department of Justice for approval, since New Hampshire
falls under their purview. I understand that some lawsuits are
expected, but at least we know what the districts will be for this
year’s election.
The House also killed this year’s expanded gambling plan, 154-195,
with Dan and Tony Soltani joining me in opposition; Jon Richardson
was unable to attend. Tony spoke against it, claiming that casinos
and gambling are like a tax on the poorest and least educated
citizens. Dan and I believed that the plan to limit licenses to only
four was an unconstitutional monopoly, with additional concerns
about corruption and getting the best deal for the citizens of the
state influencing other Representatives.
HB1659, requiring a 24 hour wait before an abortion and mandating
that certain information be provided by the doctor, was extensively
debated and failed to pass, 164-181. After some parliamentary
maneuvers, it was amended to only require the 24 hour waiting period
and passed, 185-138. I voted against the mandated information but
spoke in favor of the waiting period, and Dan and Tony were solidly
for the bill.
HB1648, requiring cross-checking a number of public databases with
welfare and Medicaid recipients, passed 245-84. A test of the system
found almost 9% of the names were problematic, including out of
state addresses, state prisoners, and a couple of dead people
receiving welfare. Probably some of these are data errors, but
eliminating welfare fraud is something everyone should support.
Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details
than I can fit in a letter.

Running 101 Seminar Coming To Concord
Ironman Finisher And Ultramarathon Runner Teaches Beginners And
Pros
Alike How To Run Right And Finish Strong
Spring is in the air, and for many that means lacing up the sneakers
and hitting the road. Unfortunately for many it also means shin
splints, sore knees, and achy hips. But does it have to be that way?
Coach Dean Carlson of Get Fit NH Bootcamp doesn’t think so. "Running
doesn’t have to hurt, but you need to prepare your body and know
what you are doing" Carlson says. "While it’s easy to put on a pair
of shoes and head out the door, we see way too many injuries that
just don’t have to happen."
To help runners get ready and stay healthy, on April 21, 2012 Get
Fit NH will be holding a running clinic from 8 am to 12 pm with Dr.
Brett Coapland, owner of Performance Health Spine and Sports
Therapy.
"Dr. Coapland specializes in sports injury and has a special
interest in evaluating running mechanics as well as treating running
injuries" Coach Carlson continues "He is uniquely qualified as both
a clinician and an accomplished endurance athlete."
Running 101, from Beginner to Advanced starts with a lecture
covering running mechanics, training principles, recovery, and
injury prevention. Following the lecture will be a hands on portion
that will include putting proper running mechanics into practice,
corrective exercise, and an optional group run.
The cost of the seminar is $40 and participants can register online
at http://GetFitNHbootcamp.com.
To find out more about Get Fit NH Bootcamp and our clinics and
workshops please contact Dean or Nancy Carlson at (603) 344-2651, or
