“The Pink House” is the

on a true story of a group of working class neighbors as they
struggle to save their homes from political and corporate interests
that want to seize the land for a large corporation. Suzette
Kelo emerges as a reluctant leader to fight officials and their
power to bulldoze the neighborhood. The case went all the way
to the US Supreme Court and eventually led to reforms that helped
curb eminent domain.

Letter
To the voters of EPSOM
and PITTSFIELD,
We are fortunate to have,
in Miriam Cahill-Yeaton, an excellent candidate for one of two
District 21 State Representative seats. As a veteran Air Force
officer and nurse practitioner, Miriam knows how to organize and get
things done. Her personal integrity, clear-mindedness, and diligent
work ethic make her a sure-fit for the job of considering the
implications of state policies on our communities.
Miriam has a “can-do”
attitude in response to opportunities and challenges, but is not
reactionary. She takes time to consider topics from multiple points
of view and will listen to the concerns of ALL of her constituents.
Miriam will represent Epsom and Pittsfield fairly. She has
personally knocked on nearly every door in Pittsfield and Epsom,
taking time to have genuine conversations with residents about what
matters most to them.
Miriam is a true
humanitarian who cares deeply about the welfare of others. Her
priorities of affordable healthcare, equitable public education
funding, and a living wage among others, reflect her determination
to make government work for the people. Miriam Cahill-Yeaton will
serve our communities well! She has my vote on November 6th and I
hope that she’ll have your vote too!

Obituaries
Meghan Miriah (Demers) Fontaine
Our beautiful Meghan passed from our embrace, on
Wednesday, September 26th, taking her place in the heavens to watch
over us, residing in our hearts and souls as the irreplaceable
rainbow she was, from the moment she arrived. Born to Peter and Dawn
Demers, at her family home in Loudon, Brandon’s little sister, on
June 4, 1984 on a beautiful morning that evolved into a spectacular
day, where a double rainbow appeared from a clear blue sky.
Meghan attended school at
Merrimack Valley and went on to work in the hospitality industry.
She dedicated her work self to Makris Lobster & Steak House and
would be recognized as the smiling face many would see on a regular
basis, a family, in and of itself.
She spent much of her
time in Epsom, settling into her new home with her husband Jason and
their kids, Kyleigh and Bryce, nestled in near her family and an
amazing network of friends and neighbors. This was her pride and
joy. Happy kids, gardening, softball, basketball in the front yard,
anything that involved Jason and the kids was her first love and
interest.
She leaves behind,
everything and everyone including her loyal companion Bear. We are
grateful that she left this world as she came into it, at home,
snuggled into her bed, having drifted away in her sleep. Her
selfless, kind, funny, hardworking, passionate, strong-willed
presence was a joy to us then and is our foundational rock now. She
will be missed, beyond what any words can portray, but can be found
reflected in each of us who were lucky enough to be in her orbit.
Here to carry on, remains
her husband, Jason Fontaine and children Kyleigh Dawn and Bryce
Peter, father Peter Demers of Epsom, brother Brandon Demers and his
fiancé Niki Valdez of Pembroke, mother and stepfather Dawn and
Earle Cate of Loudon and siblings Seth & Renda Cate of Gonic,
Elizabeth Cate of Hardwick, VT and Ella Cate & Kris Price of
Virginia, Jason’s mother Diane Fontaine of Concord and siblings,
Shawn Fontaine of Concord, Randy and Wendy Fontaine of Epsom, Kelly
& Sean Kennedy of Litchfield and her many nieces and nephews, aunts,
uncles, cousins, close friends, colleagues and neighbors.
A service will be held on
Saturday, October 6th at 12:00pm at the Still Oaks Funeral &
Memorial Home, 1217 Suncook Valley Highway, Epsom. Relatives and
friends may gather prior to the service at 11:30am and following the
service until 2:00pm. A celebration of life will be held from 3-5pm
at Makris Lobster & Steak House, Concord. Memorial donations may be
made to the Epsom Youth Athletic Assn. (EYAA).
