Daffodil Bulbs: To All Who Participate In Epsom Roadside Clean-up


The daffodils you earned last year are blooming. Aren’t they beautiful? It is time to volunteer to help with Epsom’s annual roadside clean-up in honor of Earth Day. All those who assist with cleanup and contact the Epsom Conservation Commission will receive daffodil bulbs in the fall.


The Epsom Conservation Commission coordinates the program and the bulbs are donated by Litter Free NH. We encourage you to participate. This is the 20th Earth Day Roadside Clean-up in Epsom. Please consider cleaning up a section of road, area, trail or waterway. Perhaps you are part of a group or organization, or a resident who is willing to help with this effort. Perhaps you have seen your neighbors doing their part. Many Epsom residents make it a ritual to help with roadside clean-up.


Last year one family found a pile of tires dumped out on a woods trail and they were able to bring them to BCEP and not be charged. The week of Earth Day, BCEP will accept roadside litter at no charge. Another family would pick up trash as they walked to the library. Many reported including children and the children all commented on the amount of trash.


We encourage folks to get out there the week of Earth Day which is April 22nd. Our recycling center will be accepting roadside trash during that week.


There are many miles of road in Epsom. The commission thanks all those who get out there every year and do their part. Won’t you help? Do it in honor of spring, the natural beauty of Epsom, Earth Day, and the joy of seeing clean roadsides, trails and public areas.
Participants will receive Daffodil Bulbs for their participation if you E-mail or mail  what you did. Distribution of daffodils will be the first week of October 2010.


[email protected] or to the Town of Epsom Conservation Commission, PO Box 10, Epsom, 03234.


Also contact us if you  are interested in adopting a section of state road.


The Epsom Conservation Commission sponsors Litter Free NH.

 


 

Letter


To My Constituents In Allenstown, Epsom, And Pittsfield:
This week the House had a very short session, with twelve bills on the consent calendar (one vote for all of them), and eight taken up separately. We passed SB344, on benefits of court employees, 177-124. SB310, on studies of case management for the deaf, sparked the only debate of the day. The committee had recommended it be killed, as within the scope of the existing commission; one proponent spoke in favor, but the bill was killed, 268-74. SB318, on dispensing therapeutic contact lenses; SB376, naming a bridge in New Castle; and SB481, adjusting appropriations for some turnpike projects were passed by acclamation. SB331, establishing a commission on substance use, was killed.


SB343, requiring Health and Human Services to issue a request for proposal on managed care for Medicaid patients, was killed 241-108. SB154, naming a highway in Franconia in honor of Corporal Bruce McKay, was tabled. Normally the House agrees with the town about memorials, but Corp. McKay is very controversial in Franconia and the town narrowly voted against naming the road for him; still, he was killed in the line of duty, and a vote to kill the bill could be seen as an anti-police vote or an insult to his family. So, table it!


In cleanup, we sent SB302, on notice of license expiration, back to the Transportation Committee to fix a loophole; concurred with minor Senate amendments on 10 bills; and set up Committees of Conference on HB230, defining abuse in domestic violence cases, and HB1516, funding four district courts next year.


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.
