Letter To The Editor

 

I would like to express my gratitude to all involved in planning and building the new dugouts at the ECS baseball field. Many thanks to Denis Lavigne of DML Construction for donating his time and materials, and Mike Senecal for helping Denis  during the dugout construction. I would also like to thank Layne Thomas for his survey work, and Jay Hickey for his time spent in the approval process. This is an example of a community at its best.

 

Regards, 

Chris Bowes

 


 

New Rye Church & American Legion To Celebrate Memorial Day At The Old Allenstown Meeting House

 

On Sunday May 25th, New Rye Union Congregational Church and the Elwood O. Wells American Legion Post #112 will celebrate Memorial Day by worshipping together at the historic Old Allenstown Meeting House in Bear Brook State Park. The venerable Meeting House is a fitting site to celebrate Memorial Day since the building itself is nearly 200 years old. It was built in 1815 and survived many of the conflicts whose veterans we hold in memory and whose sacrifice we hold in highest honor, especially during this week of remembrance. 

 

New Rye Church is located close to the Meeting House and it eventually absorbed the members of the “Christian Church” who worshipped at the Meeting House in the 1800s. There is also an historic connection between the Elwood O. Wells Post of the American Legion and the Meeting House since records indicate that one of the original pews in the Meeting House was purchased by Samuel and Hanover Wells, ancestors of Elwood Wells. Fortuitously, the Wells pew is one of those that survived a terrible fire in the 1980s. Elwood’s mother, Sophronia Yeaton Wells, was also the organist at New Rye Church for a number of years. 

 

The Meeting House is located on Deerfield Road in Bear Brook State Park about a mile off Rte. 28. The public is invited to join in this Memorial Day Celebration, which will begin at 10 a.m.  Please call Rev. Jim Young at 736-9279 for more information or directions. 

 


 

Epsom Food Pantry

 

Well again another busy week and a week when we received a sizeable addition to our Pantry. The Boys and Girls of the Epsom Central School stepped up to the plate and had a food drive that was absolutely great. They arrived at the Pantry with many many totes full of food. And then the Post Office drive just added to our shelves. Thank you all so much. A few things we do need are juice, Peanut Butter, Jelly and eggs. Now if you want you could leave the eggs at my office (C21 Thompson RE) and I will get them to the Pantry. We look forward to seeing all folks who would like to become members of our Pantry now that Epsom has one, and share in our goodies. Also if you have a dietary restriction, contact Liz at the Pantry and she will try and get what you need. Remember our phone number is 736-4024 and leave a message.

 

Until next time, Priscilla

 


 

Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,

This week, the House debated SB400, on the penalties for taking American eels, between the Fish & Game committee, which was concerned about poaching and violence involved in catching the baby “elvers,” and the Criminal Justice committee, which wanted to study this bill because the penalties seemed excessive (taking bald eagles is a violation; SB400 makes taking eels a misdemeanor, and a felony for a second offense.) Fish & Game had a better story, evidently, because the bill passed, 227-93.

 

SB120, which modifies the definition of “political committee” and changes reporting requirements, was debated at great length. It intended to increase transparency, but the wording created much confusion as to who needs to file reports on political or semi-political expenses. “Voter guides” showing the records of incumbents, for example, are issued by groups as diverse as churches, taxpayer groups, Gun Owners of NH, and Planned Parenthood: several people asked but didn’t get a clear answer as to whether or not these expenses would need to be reported. Who needs to register as a political committee is different from that in federal law, so groups that incidentally take a position on an issue might jeopardize their tax exempt status. All in all, I supported the minority of the committee, which wanted to work on this bill over the summer. SB120 passed, though, 186-119.

 

We also debated SB415, which transfers $15 million from the last budget surplus into the rainy day fund, where it would already be if we hadn’t suspended that law in the current budget. But too many people wanted to have more money available to spend this year, so the bill went to interim study, 151-127.

 

Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details than fit here.
