Torin Judd’s Domestic Creatures/Wild Landscapes

At Epsom Public Library

 

The Epsom Public Library is pleased to present Domestic Creatures/Wild Landscapes, an exhibit by Deerfield artist, Torin Judd.  With breathtaking mastery, the artist well conveys her love of both the animals we live with and of the world which surrounds us.  Of her subjects, she says. “Animals are our teachers.  They reflect us, give to us unconditionally and fill our lives with joy. “Each landscape is a glimpse of the beautiful earth at a moment in time” – but, truly, this exquisite selection of oil and pastel paintings speaks for itself.  

 

The show runs through February 21st, and may be viewed during regular library hours: Monday – Thursday, 10 am to 7 pm and Saturday, 9 am to 1 pm.  For more information, call 736-9920 or visit www.epsomlibrary.com

 


 

Epsom Food Pantry

 

Boy, hasn’t it been cold? But I remember back years ago, when I was raising chickens, it would go down to 30 below and it was a challenge keeping the waterers running and the girls up and doing their job. 

 

Enough reminiscing. We are doing well at the Pantry.  Our volunteers  are always ready to step in at  a moment’s notice to help Ken with anything.  A young lady named Kate Wessell has started volunteering.  It is so nice to see the young people stepping up to the plate.

 

Also, a special thanks to the family of Bev Stevens who passed away this past week for remembering the Epsom Food Pantry as a recipient of a donation along with Hospice. Both worthwhile organizations.

 

Again thanks to all who support us. Without your support, we would not function as well as we do. 

 

Until next time,

Priscilla

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

Government workers may dutifully show up for work every day.

 

They may spend 8 hours a day at their jobs.

 

They may even expend a considerable amount of energy while they are at their jobs.

 

But government workers do not create wealth.

 

Unlike their private counterparts, at the end of the day, government workers have not added any new wealth to the economy.

 

First of all, in order to fund their various operations, government workers must go out among the citizenry and collect “taxes.”

 

In effect, government workers must use force or threats of force to take wealth which has already been created from those who created it and to whom it rightfully belongs.

 

Government workers, in turn, then give some of that wealth to others to whom it does not belong in the form of transfer payments and subsidies.

 

Not surprisingly, government workers also give some of the wealth they have taken from others by force to themselves in the form of a paycheck.

 

Government workers may also use some of the wealth they have obtained by force to pay for things like travel, seminars, professional enrichment courses, as well as to pay for the buildings, vehicles, and supplies they use in the course of “doing their job,” whatever that may be.

 

Government workers also transform some of the wealth they have obtained into other things; some useful, others a complete waste of money. 

 

No matter what, when all is said and done, and the lights go out in the government’s buildings, not a single bit of new wealth has been added to the economy.

 

But a huge amount of wealth has been consumed. 

 

Government is a gigantic drag on the economy.

 

Government is the biggest single obstacle standing between the American people and prosperity.
