Guess Who?


Do you know anyone living in your town today  (Epsom) with an exciting and impressive history beginning with enlistment into the U.S.Navy on Sept. 26, 1942. Time served totaled twenty years on active duty and ten years in fleet reserve service. His active duty began with World War   II followed by the participation in the liberation of Africa and Italy, Korea Police Action or better known as the Korean War, Operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield, Restoration Hope in Mogadishu, Somalia. Ran the best restaurant on the east coast. Seated with the local town government. Still actively involved in the Military Sea Command aboard the U.S.N.S. “The Roy M. Wheat.” Next time you see Walter (Billy) White thank him for his service.

New Year’s Resolutions And Health
Submitted By Sally Abdulla, MD
Epsom Family Medicine


If you’re contemplating making a New Year’s Resolution, how about choosing one that could enhance your health? Here are some suggestions to consider:


1. Make 2010 the year to quit smoking. With so many smoking cessation aids and support systems out there, 2010 is an excellent year to be tobacco-free. Think of the impact it can have for your health; fewer lung diseases, easier breathing, less risks of strokes, heart attacks and cancer. Tip: If your friends and family all smoke, try quitting as a team-effort. This will improve your chances dramatically!


2. Eat 5 a day for better colon health! How about increasing your daily intake of  fruits and vegetables to a minimum of 5 servings a day to improve colon function and health. For women, studies have shown that increasing vegetable intake reduces the risk of possible cancers such as breast cancer. Creative ways for vegetable intake: try making a spinach and walnut salad for lunch and garnish it with fresh strawberries and a light Vinaigrette dressing for a delightful kick.


3. Finally, 2010 could be your year to boost your metabolism with regular aerobic exercise. Make regular exercise your resolution for the year! Sign up at a health club, or try going for a daily walk or hike. In the snow, try cross-country skiing or even snow shoeing. If it’s too chilly, an indoor walk at the mall or an aerobic video at home can be fun to try.


Make 2010 a great year for your health!

 


 

Letter


To the Residents of Epsom:
The Board of Selectmen would like to remind the residents of Epsom to please keep all driveways and entranceways as slip-free as possible, in order that emergency personnel can safely reach you and not be injured themselves. A recent incident caused damage to some equipment and vehicles because a driveway had not been properly maintained. We would like you to be aware so that we might be able to avoid more serious damages in the future. Thank you and Happy New Year.


Joanne Randall
Vice Chair,
Board Of Selectmen

Letter


To My Constituents In Allenstown, Epsom, And Pittsfield:
The 2010 session has started at full speed, with 123 bills on Wednesday’s calendar. Of course, 66 were non-controversial bills that we disposed of in one vote: 13 passed, the rest were killed or held for study.


Since a sizable group of hearing impaired citizens, with interpreters, were watching the proceedings, we first dealt with HB561, adding an insurance mandate to cover hearing aids. The debate was very frustrating because the proponents kept arguing how necessary hearing aids are, while the opponents were pointing out that self-insured large corporations, Medicaid, and the state employee health plan were not affected by these mandates, only the shrinking pool of smaller businesses that bought New Hampshire regulated health insurance. The bill passed on a roll call, 209-157. I voted against; Representatives Porter and Yeaton voted for it and Representative Brown was unable to attend Wednesday’s session. Another health insurance mandate, this one to cover diagnosis and treatment of autism, passed 213-147. I voted against while Representatives Porter and Yeaton voted for it. This benefit would cover about 300 people in the state at a cost of $4 million per year, if more small companies don’t drop health insurance benefits!


We then prohibited banks from requiring fingerprints to cash a check (HB299), required used car dealers to have at least 1,000 square feet of showroom (HB366), increased taxes and fees on insurance companies doing business in the state (HB507), required bittering agents in antifreeze (HB431), regulated life settlements (HB660) and passed new restrictions on the use of RFID chips (HB478).


Anyone interested in what’s going on at the State House is invited to email or call me; those who’d like a more detailed report than I can fit in The Sun should email me for my newsletter.
