SAU 53 Learning Circle Presents Emmy-Nominated Filmmaker Dan Habib And His New Film "Who Cares About Kelsey?"

 

• Date and time: Monday, May 21, 2012, 6:30 – 9:00 pm

• Location: Pembroke Academy Auditorium, 267 Pembroke Street, Pembroke, NH 03275

• Cost: Free and open to the public

 

Filmmaker Dan Habib, who made the Emmy-nominated documentary, "Including Samuel," will screen his powerful new film "Who Cares About Kelsey?"

 

The film’s primary subject is Kelsey Carroll and much of the documentary was filmed at Somersworth High School. This is one of the first screenings anywhere in the country of this new documentary, which captures issues of critical importance in New Hampshire and nationally.

 

The event, funded by the Department of Education Title 4 Safe and Drug Free School Grant, is free and open to the public. Refreshments and professional development certificates will be available for attendees. This film contains some mature content and language. Parent discretion is advised.

 

Website to preview film: http://iod.unh.edu/pbisfilm

 

Film Synopsis

Kelsey Carroll has one goal, to graduate from high school, and plenty of reasons why she shouldn’t. She has dealt with homelessness, self-mutilation, and ADHD. "Who Cares About Kelsey?" is the story of Kelsey’s transformation from a defiant and disruptive student to a motivated and self-confident young woman. Along the way, critical figures in her personal and educational life shape her coming of age and play important roles in an education revolution that’s about empowering – not overpowering – teens with emotional and behavioral disabilities.

 

Kelsey Carroll will join Habib for the post-film discussion. Habib is Filmmaker in Residence at the Institute on Disability (IOD) at the University of New Hampshire.

 

Habib says the screening and discussion will advance the work of SAU 53’s newly formed behavior task force to achieve better outcomes for youth with emotional and behavioral disabilities and improve school cultures and climates across the region.

 

Advance RSVPs are requested, but attendees can also register at the door. To RSVP, call 603-470-5499 or email [email protected].

 Epsom STATE_ELKS_VETERANS_CHAIR_BRODERICK_WITH_MIKE_DEMPSEY_AWARD.jpg

Micheal Dempsey, President of the Nam Knights White Mountain Chapter was presented an award on April 12th during his Nam Knights meeting held at the American Legion in Concord by NH State Elks Veterans Chair Tracy Broderick.

 

Micheal Dempsey was presented with an award by the NH State Elks Veterans Chair, Tracy Broderick, for his unselfish work with and for our Nation’s Veterans. He strives to help them realize their sacrifices for our country were not in vain and the United States of America is a world leader because of their patriotism and valor.

 

Mike Dempsey has been a great supporter of our Veterans and has provided many special opportunities and resources that have made differences in their lives.

 

Over the years he has been greeting Veterans as part of the Pease Greeters, holding an overnight fishing tournament, working with the Paralyzed Veterans, blind Veterans and his involvement in Welcome Home Navy Cebes. He is head of the Rolling Thunder POW MIA rally in Washington, DC. He has worked at Stand Down for Homeless Veterans, and transported disabled veterans from Boston to Sunapee. He has been involved in the Wounded Warrior program, has attended the Veterans Cemetery Purple Heart service, and has escorted fallen Veterans to their final resting place. Mike’s endeavors for our Veterans are constant, first and foremost.

 

If Mike knows of any Veterans that need help whether it be moving or requiring a ride somewhere, he is there to assist them. Mike also has held luncheons at the Concord-Epsom Elks 1210 Lodge for the Veterans at the Tilton Soldiers Home and the VA in Manchester. He puts his heart and soul into the Nam Knights, White Mountain Chapter. Mike is a caring, compassionate man who carries the Elks Veterans motto "As long as there are Veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them."

 


 

Sandra Hewson Paintings At Epsom Public Library

 

The Epsom Public Library is pleased to present an exhibit of abstract paintings by Sandra Hewson. The artist, a native of Deerfield, and a graduate of Pembroke Academy currently resides in New York state. Speaking of her work, she says, "I like to imagine I was born with a box of Crayola crayons in my hands, a dreamer by design. I have been a doodler, scribbler and color crazy since day one and have never had more than one toe on the ground at a time. Everything I see in life is full of color and light. The world is a wonderful landscape for my imagination. I am inspired by absolutely everything, scenery, sounds, smells, felling, dark, and light, reality and possibilities.

 

My true hope is that my creations can inspire "happy" in all that see them, even if just for a minute."

 

The exhibit runs through June 9. It is open to the public and may be viewed during regular library hours, Monday through Thursday, 10 am to 7 pm, and Saturday, 9 am to 1 pm.

 

For more information call the library at 736-9920 or visit www.epsomlibrary.com.

Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:

This week the House met on a short list of very innocuous bills: even SB224, a ban on the use and sale of lead fishing jigs, which has generated quite of bit of interest, both pro and con, was sent to interim study without debate. SB260, permitting towns to allow planning boards to protect significant archeological sites, was debated on the grounds that a tax abatement, such as historic barns get, would be a better way to encourage landowners to protect historic resources. The vote was 173-173, and the bill was tabled. Dan, who spoke against this bill, is preparing an amendment for tax breaks instead of planning board regulations.

 

We responded to a number of Senate messages as well. HB1716, the 10 year highway plan, had been amended by the Senate to issue bonds in anticipation of federal highway funding to complete the I-93 widening before highway construction costs climb any higher, and the House agreed, 308-28. HB1652, putting some unexpected 2011 revenue into the rainy day fund – and incidentally put another $1.5 million towards shortening the developmentally disabled wait list – had been amended by the Senate to more clearly ban taxes on Internet access. No problem - but they also eliminated the savings, leaving the surplus easily available for spending. House leadership moved to kill the bill; some representatives who either wanted to fund the wait list, ban Internet taxation, or have extra spending money available argued for a committee of conference. On the grounds that the purpose of this bill was to put funds aside, and the Senate doesn’t want to, we voted 247-93 to kill the bill. I expect to see all three portions come back attached to other bills.

 

Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details than I can fit in a letter.
