Proceeds will be used to continue restoration of the historic Odd Fellows Hall and support other Lodge projects.

 


 

Epsom Food Pantry

 

A busy week for us at the Pantry. We received  good news that we have been accepted into the Capital Regional Food Pantry. That will be where our Christmas baskets come from and we will also receive monthly food  from them. That is a blessing as we are growing, so this source of food is greatly appreciated.

 

Now for some information that is important to us. First, we served 1656 meals in the month of September. As an aside, let me tell you that Liz and Ken have a lot of paperwork also. Liz has asked me to remind you again if you have any coupons you are not using, please give them to her as she gets the little extras for our families that make life a little easier for them.

 

I mentioned last week that we will be doing Thanksgiving for the members. Now we will be getting the turkeys, but if you folks could pick up some stuffing or pie fixings when you are doing your holiday shopping, that would be wonderful.  And to our members who read this article, we will be needing a turkey count. So, if you could call the Pantry, 736-4024, and leave your name, we will know to put your name on our list. I believe the turkeys are coming in 8 and 16 pounds, so that will be good for all size families.

 

Until next time,

Priscilla

Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,

I’ve been working on two study committees, one evaluating the state procurement process and the other reviewing the regulation of pawnbrokers and second hand dealers. The first is busily collecting data from different agencies, other states, and professional organizations: I have a pile of paperwork to digest, analyze and figure out what needs to be done, what should be done, and what should not get done... so far we’ve only agreed to resolve a wording conflict in the laws, and set up some way for bidders and others involved in procurement to more easily find out what’s going on.

 

The committee on pawnbrokers, etc, has been more focused on identifying exactly what problem we’re trying to solve, and how to do it without either imposing major costs on small towns or dealers, or upsetting the reporting systems the larger towns and cities already have in place. We agree the original legislation was overly restrictive and expensive, and also the original complaint – that heirloom jewelry was melted down for the gold before the police could get to the pawnshop – was likely a special case and very uncommon. We’re trying to work out a way so that legitimate businesses can more quickly learn of stolen goods and report suspicious transactions (or attempts!) to the police even if their town doesn’t have an ordinance requiring it.

 

The committee on SB315, creating a board of building inspectors, met again and agreed that legislation may be needed but we didn’t know what it would be! A group of stakeholders is continuing to meet away from the legislature, and if they reach agreement another bill might be submitted.

 

Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details than fit here.
