Letter To The Editor

 

My name is Denis Beaudoin and I’m running for State Representative in District 21, Epsom and Pittsfield. As a lifelong resident of Pittsfield I understand its values well. Having worked in the electrical construction industry for over 30 years, I feel that I have the unique understanding of what it takes for the hard working men and women to survive in this day and age of high property taxes and high business taxes. We need a common sense approach to create revenue sources that doesn’t include an income tax or a sales tax. We, the tax payers, cannot continue to be expected to carry the majority burden of footing the necessary expenses like educating our children, infrastructure upkeep, and the everyday cost of doing business in NH. I have always been interested in, and follow, NH State politics. Over the last 15 years as an advocate for working people through my job, I have been able to attend many committee hearings at our State Capitol, watched and listened to testimony that affects the working people.

 

Hard working granite staters of Epsom and Pittsfield desperately need a voice in Concord! This is why I am officially announcing my candidacy for State Representative, District 21, Epsom and Pittsfield. If you afford me the opportunity to represent you in Concord I can assure you I will be a strong hard working voice for the NH workforce.

 

I believe in a strong middle class with good paying jobs. I believe in economic growth that would broaden our tax base and also entice our educated youth to stay, work, play in New Hampshire.

 

Not only will I be a representative for the blue collar worker, rest assured, I am one.

 

Denis R. Beaudoin, Sr.

 


 

A Paddle On Wild Goose Pond

PIttsfield wildgooseconvoy.jpg

Bear-Paw Regional Greenways hosted a Paddle on Wild Goose Pond recently at Graylag Cabins in Pittsfield (www.graylagcabins.com).

 

Between 15-20 paddlers showed up at Graylag Cabins in Pittsfield to explore Wild Goose Pond and its outlet stream, the Crooked Run, with Bear-Paw Regional Greenways board member and wetland scientist Mark West. It was a stunningly beautiful day to be on the pond. Mark provided aerial maps showing the outline of a proposed conservation easement project on the other side of Wild Goose Pond at the TL Storer Boy Scout Camp. During the 3-hour event paddlers saw a loon, largemouth bass and other small fish, a beaver house and dam, several great blue herons, a wood duck, as well as a variety of other smaller birds whose calls were abundant. When the group returned to shore Mark distributed some dip nets for people to collect samples of what might be living at the water’s edge. Some quick samples included a dragonfly casing, a couple of snails, some water plants, spotted newts and several aquatic insects.

 

Bear-Paw Regional Greenways is a non-profit land trust with a mission to permanently conserve a network of lands that protects the region’s water, wildlife habitat, forests, and farmland. Bear-Paw now holds easements or land protecting 49 properties and 5,874 acres. Established by resident volunteers, Bear-Paw works to conserve open space in Allenstown, Candia, Deerfield, Epsom, Hooksett, Northwood, Nottingham, Raymond, and Strafford through outreach, education, and the completion of land protection projects.

Meet Our Members - Paramedic Jen Tedcastle

Pittsfield J_Tedcastle_6_14.jpg

Next up in the Pittsfield Fire Department’s “Meet our Members” series is Paramedic Jen Tedcastle.  Jen worked as a full-time paramedic for the Town of Pittsfield for 14 years until she changed employment and now continues to serve us by filling per diems shifts.  Jen has been the Treasurer of the Pittsfield Firefighters Association for the past two years.

 

Q: What is your background in fire and ems?

A:  I became an EMT-Basic in the early 1990s when I was in college. I took my EMT-Intermediate shortly after I finished college and completed paramedic level certification in 1998.  I began working for Pittsfield in 1998 when the Town transitioned to a full-time ambulance service.

 

When I took my EMT, I was a pre-med college student, and thought it would be a way to get some extra medical experience. I loved the class and when I graduated college I began working in EMS.  I found I really enjoyed it and wanted to know more. That led me to higher levels of EMS certification and now to my full-time work as a Physician Assistant. 

 

Q: What was one of the best trainings you participated in?

A:  Some of the best trainings I have been to are those that challenge my assumptions or look at why we do what we do. There has been a big push in medicine over the past 10-15 years to evidence-based medicine and that is starting to come into EMS as well. It’s not enough to do things the same way we always have - now the research is being done to see if what we do actually helps patients and improves outcomes. Seeing the difference between what I was taught 20 years ago and what we’ve learned since then is amazing. Learning the “why do we do this” and the science behind what we’re doing is fascinating.
