The Town of Epsom sponsors American Red Cross Swimming Lessons to all Epsom Children ages 5 and older. Please join us weekdays at Northwood Town Beach July 20th through July 31st daily. Registration will be from 8-9:00am on July 20th followed by 2 hours of swim testing which will allow children to be placed in classes according to their skill level. On succeeding days children will be enrolled in daily ½ hour lessons, scheduled between 9:00 and 11:00. Children should come prepared to swim. Hair pulled back from faces, plenty of sunscreen and appropriate clothing for the weather. 

 

There is a $5.00 Red Cross registration fee for each child. Children will learn swimming and safety skills.

 

Epsom has had a successful swimming program for many years thanks to the dedicated teachers, aides and families who know how important it is to teach children how to swim and about water safety. We hope to see you at the beach. If you need more information please contact Alison Parodi at [email protected] or Sonia Noyes at [email protected]

 


 

Thank You

Thanks to all the Volunteers Who Help With Epsom’s Roadside Clean-up

 

You have seen them, walking with a trash bag. Dedicated to picking up litter. Sadly it is a job we have to do over and over again. On the road I travel each day there is a daily walker who picks up litter on her daily walks. We as neighbors on Center Hill appreciate what she does. It seems stretches of road without houses are more prone to litter. Fast food, cans, bottles are tossed out and it is hard to understand why.

 

To celebrate Earth Day each year the Epsom Conservation Commission  asks residents to help with roadside clean-up and they are eligible for a sapling as a small reward. This year New Orchard Road, North Road, Center Hill and Mountain Road, Goboro Road, Highland Drive, Sanborn Hill, Lantern Lane, Colonial Drive, Carriage Hill, North Pembroke Road, Whitetail Drive, Elkins Road, Mill House Road and Black Hall Road were ,just some of the roads that residents reported cleaning up.  One family and the scouts helped with litter in the town Forest. Residents reported collecting over 40 bags of roadside litter.  We understand Epsom Central involves school children to help with the school yard. 

 

Perhaps you take care of your neighborhood and do it for the reward of a litter free neighborhood. On behalf of all residents in Epsom thank you for your contribution to cleaning up our roadsides. This is a beautiful rural community and your contributions contribute to the beauty.

Letter

 

To my constituents:

I wanted to give you more detail about the governor’s budget veto. There are three main areas of disagreement between the legislature and the governor: taxes, expanded Medicaid and employee pay raises.  

 

The governor’s budget had $104M in higher taxes, while the legislature cut taxes about $20M.  Since our general and education funds are around $4B, the difference represents roughly 3% of the budget.  I don’t see this legislature ever agreeing to higher tax rates to raise general funds.  Highway funds and the gas tax might be a different story, but that’s a topic for another day.

 

Expanded Medicaid covers those with low earned income who are not children, elderly, disabled, pregnant, or in one of the other categories that traditional Medicaid covers.  In other words, it mostly covers the unemployed and college students.  Right now this program is 100% paid by the federal government, but it is scheduled to expire at the end of 2016 when the state will have to pay part.  Even though the governor had this in her budget, legislature decided to consider it as a separate bill next year.

 

The governor negotiated a contract with state employees which would cost an extra $12M next biennium.  The legislature took this out of the budget.  This is one area where compromise might be found.

 

It’s hard to see what the governor hoped to accomplish by vetoing the budget.  It will be at least four months before we pass another one, and during that time, spending will be at the lower 2015 rate. Maybe she’s gambling that the economy will continue to improve, which would give us more to spend on the pay raises.  But revenue estimates could just as easily drop instead.

Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,

Since there’s no legislative activity in July, I thought I’d update the status of my bills this year. HB205, restricting municipalities from lending in energy efficiency districts (they can still act as a facilitator, if they wish) and cleaning up the statute for these districts, has been signed by the governor. After the lenders, the banking association, and the municipal & county committee worked with me on the language, the Senate passed it immediately without any changes.

 

HB216, allowing licensing boards to recover the costs of investigations, has been re-referred to Senate Finance. With a new budget required, I’m not sure they’ll actually work on it this summer, but I’ll be keeping an eye on it.

 

HB310, eliminating a redundant form when a motor vehicle is scrapped, has been signed into law, as has HB408, on chiropractors’ licensing fees.

 

HB337, regarding the patients’ bill of rights, was killed in the House, but I’ve reached out to the HHS oversight committee and will be talking about the issues involved with their Alzheimer’s subcommittee. The original bill was too broad and poorly written, but I think working with the stakeholders will help me write a better version.

 

HB369, moving the state retirement system to a defined-contribution plan, was retained in the pension committee, which is actively working it along with HB556,a cash balance plan, which I co-sponsored.

 

HB425, which updates the process to adopt administrative rules, passed the House and Senate and is on its way to the governor. HB547, which originally repealed the tax on telephone poles, was drastically amended in both the House and Senate. The conference committee was unable to reach agreement, so the bill died.

 

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

Epsom Food Pantry

 

Do hope this finds all our Pantry friends enjoying this wonderful sunshine.

 

We, of course, are keeping real busy at the Pantry.  Our supplies are slowly getting replenished,  but our supply of meat, hamburg in particular, has definitely slowed down. I went to Shaw’s this past week and took advantage of a sale, so that has put us back in the green again.  We all have to keep our eyes open for sales and that is what helps keep the larder full.

 

The girls are keeping our garden going beautifully in back of the Pantry. They will soon be harvesting.

 

Ken wants me to remind our members who come to the Pantry to try and keep your schedule of coming the same so we do not end up with a crowd all at once.

 

Also, we had a spectactular donation this week of an employee making a donation and the company they worked for matched it. Boy are we one lucky group, and all done with such love and care.

 

Until next time,

Priscilla
