In One New Hampshire Backyard

 

The Epsom Public library is pleased to present “In One New Hampshire Backyard,” the stunning nature photography of Barbara Sinclair-Pappas.

 

Barbara E. Sinclair-Pappas is a self-taught nature photographer, having augmented her skills through local workshops. During her career as an early-childhood educator, she first used a digital camera to record the spontaneous experiences of her young students. Once retired, Barbara focused her lens on the yard and gardens surrounding her home in Chichester NH, where she has lived for twelve years. A collection of these images can be found in her self-published book: In One New Hampshire Backyard.

 

Barbara has been amazed at the wealth of wildlife she continually discovers so close to home! Since the day she happened upon an inchworm curled into a question mark in the center of a flower, she has been fascinated with the intimate nature of close-up photography. With the life’s quick pace, she loves being able to pause and explore the unexpected details her camera captures in a fleeting second. Barbara is excited to share the enthralling world that photography has opened up to her and hopes her images inspire others to explore the nature found around their own homes.

 

The exhibit runs through September 20, and may be viewed during regular library hours: Monday through Thursday, 10 am to 7 pm, Saturday, 9 am to 1 pm.  For more information, call 736-9920 or visit www.epsomlibrary.com.

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

Let’s continue our quick guide to the Republican Primary. Even through there are ten (!) names on the ballot for US Senator, there are only three serious candidates: Scott Brown, Jim Rubens and Bob Smith.

 

For me this is the most difficult race to decide. All three of the candidates have their share of pluses and minuses. Although the logic escapes me, the front-runner appears to be Scott Brown. While he was born in New Hampshire, his entire political career was in Massachusetts. The apex of that career was a brief stint in the US Senate when he won the special election following Ted Kennedy’s death. He is an able campaigner and extremely good looking. I’ve heard Scott speak a half-dozen times, and while each talk was almost entirely content-free, he could easily be a pleasant surprise in office.

 

Jim Rubens is the activist’s activist, and a very likeable guy. He is a former State Senator with a lot of accomplishments, including championing charter schools. He successfully led the charge to keep casino gambling out of New Hampshire. He appears to have closed the money gap with Brown, so he is serious. Jim’s energetic and would get things done in Washington, but he seems to have no inherent belief that some problems are best not handled by government.

 

Bob Smith is the former US Senator from NH. He’s been out of politics here for ten years, much of which time he lived in Florida. He’s the most conservative candidate, with a stellar voting record while in office. On the other hand he’s been running a very negative campaign (a mistake in my opinion), and seems to be a little past his sell-by date.

 

Take your pick!

Epsom Food Pantry

 

Well I missed last week but my life sometimes gets a little overwhelming and my weekly article got lost in the shuffle, but we are doing just super at the Pantry. We were the recipients of milk from Market Basket and we were able to share with a couple of other Pantries, church and some needy folks.

 

One of our Freezers bit the dust and we were so lucky to have one donated by The Kitchen family in Epsom.  Also a wonderful monetary donation from Karen Reese.  We are just so lucky to live in Epsom and have such wonderful generous neighbors.  And oh boy we are getting some great veggies from our Epsom gardens. We now have 50 families in our Pantry so all the donations we get are greatly appreciated.  We get free food from USDA and we buy at a greatly reduced price from Manchester Food Bank along with free selections also so when groups, churches and the general public give to us we are grateful as we feed quite a few folks now and we all are HAPPY to be a part of this endeavorto help our families in need.

 

Until next time,

Priscilla
