Letter To The Editor

Hats Off To The Town Of Pittsfield And Rustic Crust

 

CEO Brad Sterl and the elected and appointed officials in the town of Pittsfield showed everyone that town government and small business owners can work together for the greater good of many.

 

Brad Sterl put his employees and customers first and the Economic Development Committee, the Zoning Board of Adjustments, the Planning Board, and the Board of Selectmen all worked together to make certain Pittsfield did not lose the thriving business. 

 

With the media full of stories of businesses leaving New Hampshire due to a myriad of reasons, most of which as the business state, are over regulation, Pittsfield’s concerted effort to make keeping Rustic Crust “Job One” while still following local rules and regulations as a model of how to grow the economy. This outstanding government and business cooperation is a success story the State of New Hampshire can learn from.  Once again, hats off to the people responsible.

 

After all, the local people and officials know best what their communities need.

Globe, DuPont, and NVFC Announce More Winners in 2014 Gear Giveaway

Departments in OR, CO are awarded 4 sets of new Globe gear

 

Globe, DuPont Protection Technologies (DuPont), and the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) have announced the second round of winners in the 2014 Globe Gear Giveaway. This is the third year that Globe has partnered with DuPont and the NVFC to provide volunteer departments with critically needed sets of turnout gear. The Cape Ferrelo Rural Fire Protection District (Brookings, OR) and the Stratton (CO) Volunteer Fire Department will each receive four sets of new, state-of-the-art Globe turnout gear.

 

“We are pleased to announce two more recipients in the 2014 Globe Gear Giveaway,” said NVFC Chairman Philip C. Stittleburg. “This program provides needed safety gear to departments that otherwise cannot afford to properly protect their firefighters. We thank Globe and DuPont for their generosity and foresight in making this remarkable investment in the safety and well-being of firefighters across the nation.”

 

The 2014 program will provide a total of 52 sets of turnout gear to 13 departments who demonstrate a need for gear. To be eligible to apply, departments had to be all-volunteer or mostly-volunteer, serve a population of 25,000 or less, be legally organized in the U.S. or Canada, and be a member of the NVFC. 

 

To help departments meet this last requirement, Globe sponsored NVFC Department Memberships for the first 200 non-members to apply.

 

The Cape Ferrelo Rural Fire Protection District in Brookings, OR, is a small department in a very rural area. All 10 of the volunteer firefighters make do with gear that is over 10 years old and does not meet current safety standards. The department has worked to update their equipment through fundraising efforts, but has not been able to meet the need on their own. The donation of the four sets of Globe gear will provide increased safety to the department’s firefighters so they can more effectively respond to their community’s needs.

 

The Stratton Volunteer Fire Department, located in Stratton, CO, has 24 members that respond to a variety of emergencies. In addition to training for motor vehicle accidents and fires, the volunteers have formed a technical rescue team focused on high angle rescue and confined space rescue so they can better serve the many farmers and local grain elevators within their coverage area. Currently, many of the firefighters wear turnout gear that does not fit right or is over 10 years old. The new Globe gear will help more of Stratton’s firefighters be better prepared and protected for the next emergency.

 

Additional awards will be made each month through December. Stay tuned to the NVFC web site, Dispatch newsletter, and page on Facebook, as well as the Globe page on Facebook, for additionalaward announcements and information regarding the Globe Gear Giveaway Program.

 


 

Third Annual Cabaret For a Cure

More Fun Than a Mammogram!

Pittsfield CFAC angjean.jpg

Angelo and Jean Gentile will be racking up their third year with the Cabaret For A Cure. Come see them perform “Timeless To Me” from Hairspray on Sept. 20. Doors open at 6PM for Raffles and Refreshments, show starts at 7PM.

 

Pittsfield CFAC bag.jpg

This bag, donated by Sgt. Richard Walter Jr. of the Pittsfield Police Department is only one of many raffle prizes you’ll see at the Cabaret this year. If you have something you’d like to donate, please contact Meggin Dail at (603) 736-8073.

 

You may have noticed that this year our tag line is “More Fun Than a Mammogram.” That is because we are really hoping to get the word out that early detection of breast cancer can save lives. One of every 8 woman develops breast cancer in her lifetime, with those odds, it’s better to be safe than believe that one will not be you. Early detection means treatment can start sooner.  That being said, here at the Cabaret, we aim to entertain with music, drama, laughter and hope.

 

Years ago Dee Dee Pitcher and Bea (Pszonowsky) Douglas staged an American Cancer Society (ACS) benefit at the Scenic Theatre that included a stellar cast singing songs that touched the heart and gave wings to the soul. It was their intention to have a show annually that would bring promise and attention to those burdened with the whisper of Cancer. Since that show Bea and Dee’s lives changed dramatically and they were unable to continue the idea to bring the show back year after year. In the meantime, Katelyn Parker was performing another ACS benefit in Manchester aptly named Cabaret For A Cure. Three years ago Meggin Dail brought that Cabaret to the Scenic Theatre and was overwhelmed with the positive response. You, the public, bought tickets and filled the house, you supported the show by becoming sponsors and paying for things like music and licensing, you donated goods and services like raffle prizes, print services, advertising, refreshments and more. You came to the show and you paid to get in, you donated money for your refreshments, you gave more and more. 

 

The show includes some of your favorite Broadway tunes mixed in with personal stories of triumph, popular songs and silliness. We provide options to win some great raffle prizes as well as treat you to gourmet refreshments. If you’ve been to the Cabaret before, you know what we mean; and if you haven’t, this is the year you need to be here. We will inspire, inform and entertain.

 

The first year we raised just over $2000.00; last year, it was over $5,000.00 when we brought the show to Wolfeboro and provided the Cabaret on two different nights and in two locations. This year, because of scheduling conflicts we are doing ONE SHOW ONLY in Pittsfield on September 20. Join us again in raising awareness, raising money, bringing comfort and comedy, music and memories. Be a part of something bigger than all of us.

 

Tickets are $12, available by calling Meggin Dail at 736-8073 and soon to be available at Jitters Café on Main Street in Pittsfield.  If you can’t make the show on September 20, make a donation. Raffle Prizes gratefully accepted. Sponsors needed.

 


 

Letter

 

To the inhabitants of said towns of Epsom and Pittsfield,

My name is Michael Brewster, a candidate for State Representative, Republican, District 21. I’m a native of Pittsfield, carpenter by trade. I have a lifetime of helping local home and business owners, farmers and the communities with their building repairs.

 

I enjoy repairing old barns. Most of those barns were built around George Washington days. Now and then there is one around Abe Lincoln’s times.

 

I’m a single dad of two daughers. Worldly travelers, those two girls are. The oldest is an award-winning business executive with two very young boys. She enlisted in the National Guard while going to high school. She became an EMT and paramedic, used her GI Bill to help with business schooling.

 

The youngest is going for her master’s in community health. She is working for Dartmouth College.

 

My interest in NH government started over three decades ago. While walking the halls of government, I met Elmer Tasker, “The Tin Man.” He invited me to a gathering of State Delegates, Reps, a mayor, state troopers, and local constitutional grouns, all with different issues and grievances.

 

As a State Representative I’ll do my best at my duty of representing you; guiding your government questions, issues, complaints, or grievances, listen to your instructions and redressing the wrongs.

 

I’ll appreciate your vote September 9. Thank you.

 

Michael Brewster

Gerard “Gerry” R. Limoges 

(July 16, 1960 - August 23, 2014) 

 

I’m Free.

 

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free; I’m following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; Ah yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all too brief; Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

 

Gerard “Gerry” R. Limoges, age 54, of Edgewater FL., passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his wife and family on Saturday, August 23, 2014.

 

Born in Newport, Vermont, Mr. Limoges, owner of a landscape business, moved to this area in 1991 from Westfield, Vermont. He was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, New Smyrna Beach, loved his Harley Davidson motorcycle, enjoyed fishing, and loved the beach. Mr. Limoges enjoyed music and singing karaoke, known as “Gerryoke” by friends and family. He was a devoted husband, and father to Adam, whom he adored.

 

Mr. Limoges is remembered by his son, Adam as “strong, loving, impressive, kind throughout, always willing to help others. My strength, my teacher, taught me to be a caring man, taught me to be the best of men, like him.”

 

Survivors include his wife, Christine Nickerson Limoges; only son, Adam and future daughter-in-law, Jaime Garrand of Seattle, Washington; 3 brothers, Norman (Lyne) of Troy, Vermont, Donald (Meredith) of Marietta, Georgia, and Michael of Wilton, New Hampshire; a sister, Nicole (Jerry) Pion of Troy; his mother, Yvette Limoges of Troy; and many nieces and nephews. Mr. Limoges was preceded in death by his father, Roland Limoges.

 

The service will be postponed until October due to his son’s wedding and honeymoon. Prayer service will be 6:30 p.m. Friday, October 3, 2014 at Settle-Wilder’s New Smyrna Beach chapel with Redemptorist Fathers, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, officiating, followed by a Celebration of Life and refreshments from 7:00-8:00 p.m.

 

A Vermont celebration will be held in October, with the date to be announced later.

 

Memorial donations may be made in Mr. Limoges’ name to Halifax Health Hospice of Volusia/Flagler, Attn: Edgewater Care Center, 3800 Woodbriar Trail, Port Orange, Florida 32129.
