My Constituents of Epsom,

Thank you for allowing me to serve this Town for the past six years as Welfare Overseer. Even though I didn’t get the votes that I needed to win, I received a very respectable vote of 20 less than my opponent.  Change is inevitable and our town is seeing more and more young families embracing this town as a perfect place to raise their children. You helped to provide this town with a welcoming entrance to those families. I know that you will provide Mrs. Decker the courtesy and respect that you gave me. I’ll miss you all but when God closes a window he opens a door.

 

You have a new selectman with some great ideas for this town. Chris Bowes brings with him a multitude of concepts to bring change for the good. He will work arduously to bring businesses to this town.

 

Thank you from my husband, Herb Bartlett, who is also very grateful for electing him to the Budget Committee. He has and will serve this town well. Thank you again and God Bless All of You.

 

Lee Bartlett

 


 

Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,

This week, the House passed three major bills on Wednesday. HB1170 repealed the death penalty. We debated this for over two hours, and considered two very different amendments. One would leave the death penalty in place and add to the special circumstances meriting death the murder of a child. This failed, 83-247, as did the second amendment, commuting the sentence of anyone on death row to life without parole, 85-245. The final vote to pass was 225-104, with Dan and Mary Frambach the local representatives voting against. I voted for the repeal because I’m concerned about the possibility of error and the expense of prosecution, but since we’ve only executed one person in 75 years, abuse isn’t a big problem in New Hampshire.

 

HB1625, decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana, brings our penalties more in line with the neighboring states. It’s not legalization, just making the punishment more appropriate to the level of offense. It passed 215-92 after some debate, with Frank Davis and Dianne Schuett the only local representatives opposed.

 

HB1403, increasing the state minimum wage to $8.25 for next year, to $9 in 2016 and indexing it to inflation thereafter, passed 173-118, largely on party lines. Dan spoke against it because increasing the minimum wage makes it harder for young people to get jobs, and getting a job - any job - is the best way to learn how to hold a job. Every time the minimum wage increases, the rate of teenage unemployment compared to adult unemployment steps up, because most teenagers need to learn on the job how to be worth more than the minimum.

 

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

Epsom Public Library News

 

Movie

The library will show the film, Nebraska on Wednesday, March 19, at 7:00 p.m.  A Golden Globe nominee for best film of 2013, the movie stars Bruce Dern as an aging, booze-addled father who makes the trip from Montana to Nebraska on foot with his estranged son in order to claim a million dollar Mega Sweepstakes prize.  The movie is rated R, primarily due to language.  However, one Amazon reviewer said, “If you want to see Bruce Dern in top form even after all these years, catch this movie.  [You will enjoy] great acting, great conversations, bittersweet story, and some scenes where it’s hard not to laugh out loud.”

 

Popcorn and soft drinks will be served.

 

Concord VNA Program

 The Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association will present “Understanding Arthritis – The Beginners Guide,” on Wednesday, March 26, at 1:00 p.m. at the library. 

 

An estimated 50 million Americans have arthritis – that is one in five adults.  Early diagnosis and appropriate management of arthritis, including self-management activities, can help.  In this presentation you can learn how to decrease your arthritis pain, improve function, and remain independent.

 

Book Club

The Book Club will meet on Wednesday, March 26, at 7:00 p.m. to discuss Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises and A Moveable Feast.  Readers may read one or both books.  These follow last month’s The Paris Wife, the story of Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley Richardson.  If you would like to join in the discussion, please drop by the library to pick up a copy of one or both books.

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

I would like to take the time to thank everyone who came out on Tuesday to vote, and all who volunteered their time at the polls. It was truly a  great experience. 

 

I would also like to thank the other Selectman candidates who showed great kindness, and offered help and advice as I worked my way through the campaign and election process. Much thanks to my wife Heather and the children, for their love and support, and to all our close friends who encouraged me to run.

 

Last but not least, I offer much gratitude to Don Harty for his friendship, advise, and support. You will be missed as a Selectman. 

 

Regards to all,

Chris Bowes

Letter To The Editor

 

Republicans have the best political rhetoric! It’s all God, Flag and Apple Pie. However, I do notice that when most Republicans are asked individual political questions, most agree with policies held by Democrats.

 

Do you want to see the Affordable Care Act fixed or repealed completely? If you want to repeal it completely, what will you replace it with?

 

Which problem is more important to tackle now: Infrastructure creating tens of thousands of jobs? Or should we remain in austerity mode because Social Security is not fully funded beyond 2036?

 

Do you believe a woman has the right to control her whole body or do you believe she is of no importance beyond her womb? Should IUDs and birth control be outlawed? Or should family planning be supported?

 

Do you believe a worker should not earn enough to support oneself (nevermind a family) while big-box-store execs rake in millions each year?

 

Do you believe “independent contract drillers” for big oil should continue to receive oil depletion allowances while senior citizens on Social Security have not received a “real” cost of living increase in several years?

 

I do not believe it is important whether one is registered Republican, Democrat, Independent. What is important is what you believe.

 

Nancy Heath
