Town Office Renovation Proposal

 

Those who vote in the affirmative  for the above subject matter as described in the informational packet passed out to interested taxpayers that attended the open discussion on 01-25-2014 would be identical to one that went shopping in Home Depot totally blind folded. They would have no idea about what they were getting for the buck. 

 

I suggested that 8-10 experienced contractors from this area be allowed to walk through the building for the purpose of comparing notes about the need for replacement or repair costs.  I was told that no one would be allowed into the building.

 

Remember the old days when the insurance companies required three estimates of repair of damages to your car ?

Epsom Central School Staff And Faculty

Mrs. Wendy Burns, Administrative Secretary

 

As half of the team that runs the “Pulse of ECS,” the nickname for the main office, Wendy has many and diverse responsibilities. She started at ECS as a paraprofessional over seven years ago and, when the secretary position became available two years later, she applied and was thrilled when she received the position. Along with office mate Diane Currier, Wendy welcomes visitors with a cheerful smile and helps with answering phone calls. She seems to be the “glue” that holds things together as she constantly checks to see if everything is on schedule and running smoothly. Her responsibilities also include using accounting software to enter payroll data, maintaining grade books and printing report cards, and recording staff attendance. Wendy also uses the MMS program (student management software) to store all student and staff information, develop schedules, and complete reports for the State Department of Education. Wendy served as cheerleader coach for two years and is in her third year as yearbook advisor. She fondly remembers helping the principal get into his costume as Mrs. Berenstain Bear to celebrate the Read Across America Week.

 

Wendy finds ECS to be a “wonderful place to work,” and the diverse responsibilities of her position are very rewarding. The current eighth grade class (including her son, Ryan) was in first grade when she started at ECS, and she has enjoyed watching the children grow from “cute little kids” in first grade to mature young men and women preparing to graduate and go onto high school. Wendy also loves the family atmosphere of ECS where everyone cares for one another through illness, childbirth, and weddings. She believes that it’s important for parents to stress to their children the importance of their education, and to log on to the Parent Portal to check grades, graded assignments, and Homework Now (offers current homework assignments). Wendy encourages parents to chat with their children and to keep in touch with teachers and administration. She says that one pair of questions which often elicit a lot of information from children is, “What was the best / worst part of your day?”

 

Wendy lives in Epsom with Neal, her husband of 18 years, daughter Erin (a sophomore at PA), and son Ryan. She also has a son who lives in Hooksett with his wife and two daughters, and a son who lives in San Antonio. In her spare time, Wendy likes to take dance classes, go to the beach with her family, and practice Yoga, which she finds very enlightening.

Letter

 

To my constituents:

Carol has a lot of committee meetings this week, so I am pinch-hitting. Probably the biggest bill we voted on was HB 485, establishing keno. This would be played only in bars. Many Reps looked at it as a new game for the lottery, rather than establishing private casinos. It passed the House 202-141, with both Carol and myself voting in favor. Somewhat strangely the Democrats were split 92-98, while the Republicans were heavily in favor 110-43. I think that is because it is looked at as enhancing existing businesses, bars and restaurants any of whom can apply for a license. This is quite different than setting up a small number of big casinos run by a favored few.

 

The other significant bill with a somewhat surprising result was HB 580, which would have put a short moratorium on building new wind farms until further regulations were in place. This failed 148-194, with both of us voting for the moratorium. In this case the Democrats voted strongly against it 27-161 and the Republicans in favor 121-33. One might think that the Democrats would be pro-regulation, and the Republicans pro-property rights and business, but this issue is more complicated than that. The Democrats are for anything that appears “green”, especially if it will be built in someone else’s district. The Republicans see it as a nonsensical business that only exists because of federal tax credits and carbon offsets, not because it is inherently valuable. For me the bill was a really close call, but one deciding factor was that Epsom residents like regulations on wind, since a few years ago we strongly voted for them (over my objections!).

 

Please call us with any concerns.

Rep. Dan McGuire
