President Franklin Pierce


Thursday night Peter Wallner, President of the NH Historical Society, and author of two biographies on Franklin Pierce, presented our New Hampshire President.  President Pierce’s administration balanced the national budget, and then reduced the national debt by 50%.  He modernized the navy by ordering six frigates to be built with the state of the art steam powered screw propulsion.  He had the lands that would become our national railroad system surveyed, and added the southwest corner to America:  New Mexico, Arizona, and California.


Despite controversy, his administration ensured that the flood of new Irish Immigrants had the right to be voting American citizens.


His cabinet was a diverse and talented group of men from different parties, different religions, and different regionals (including his able secretary of war Jefferson Davis).  Yet everyone of them worked with President Pierce for the entire four year term building a nation and in later years had nothing but praise for our New Hampshire president.

 


 

Senior Center News


All seniors are welcome to attend all weekly activities and enjoy lunch at noon (Call to reserve at 435-8482, a $2.00 donation is suggested) at the Community Center.


For the month of May, it is Bingo on Mondays and Thursdays from 10:00 to 11:30 am. Tuesday is baking in the kitchen at 9:15 am and during May, it will be the Cookie Club. Bring your favorite recipe and each week we will make a different batch of cookies.  At noon, on Tuesdays, it’s Noon Café Bienvenue, which features a variety of soups, salad bar fixings and café style luncheon choices.


On Wednesdays, from 12:30 - 2:00 pm it is painting lessons with Betsey Keefe.  On Fridays, Gentle Yoga is offered upstairs.


We invite you to join us for any or all of these activities at the Pittsfield Community Center, 74 Main Street.  A special activity is planned for Wednesday, May 4th at 9:30 am “Making Aprons.”  Those attending will cut and sew; hoping we can transition to using cloth aprons.  If we need more aprons, the sewing project will continue on Wednesday, May 11th and May 18th at 9:30 am.

 


 

Pittsfield Youth Baseball would like to thank Skip and Marguerite Weadick for generously allowing us to remove a pile of rocks from their property for use at Pittsfield Athletic Park. Their generosity and the generosity of others like them will bring the project to a successful conclusion this July. Pictured are Larry Williams who donated a trailer to move the rocks, and volunteers Thomas Williams, Brandon Greenwood and Cody Newton. Thanks guys!

 


 

Flora Perkins, formerly of Pittsfield, recently celebrated her 99th birthday at the home of her daughter in Fayetteville, Georgia.  Many people will remember her as a teacher for many years in Pittsfield before moving on to Concord.  She was a member of the Park Street Baptist Church where she taught the high school Sunday school class for many years as well as being very active in many other church organizations. Teaching was always a very important part of her life.  Even upon retirement, she continued to substitute teach in Georgia where she would spend her winters.  Family is very important to Flora and she is the proud great-great-grandmother (yes, that is five generations) of 4 boys, Cyrus age 8, Elias age 3, Malachi age 20 months, and Isaiah age 7 months.  Flora does not travel any more but she would love to hear from former students and anyone else who remembers her.  Her address is:  1424 Antioch Road, Fayetteville, GA,  30215. 

 


 

Letter


Dear Pittsfield Residents:
On April 7th the new Planning Board met for the first time.  Members voted for a new Chairman (Ted Mitchell) and Vice-Chairman (Clayton Wood.)  Jim Pritchard was asked to be the Board’s Recorder and he graciously accepted on a trial basis.


It was determined that the first priority will be to review all those ballot articles that were voted upon on March 8th.  Those that passed, to ensure proper implementation and those that failed, to fine tune them and put them aside, ready for the next March ballot.


Two alternates (Peter Dow and Michelle Connor) were appointed for one year terms. If you are interested in being an alternate on the Planning Board, please e-mail the chairman.


The Board is determined to keep the public totally informed, step-by-step, as they move to make the Zoning Ordinances as concise, clear and enforceable as possible.


If you have any concerns or questions as the year progresses, please email the chairman at [email protected].  All concerns will be brought to the attention of the Planning Board and discussed.  You will get a direct email response.


Thank you,
Ted Mitchell, Chairman
Pittsfield Planning Board

 


 

Spring is here and Dan Schroth is at the ball park once again working on the wall at the entrance. Pictured with him is Justin, his son. Anyone having a few rocks laying around is urged to contact Larry Berkson at 798-3984 and he will arrange to have them picked up for use at the park. One, two, 10, or more would be helpful.

 


 

Women of Rotary


The Women of Rotary April meeting was held at the home of “Babe” Jenisch with 16 members present.  After the Pledge of Allegiance and the business meeting, the program was “Show and Tell.”  What a great idea. It was Elsie Morse who was program chair. She made the comment that the members themselves were the best program.  Some very interesting items were shown and enjoyed.


Refreshments were served by hostess “Babe” Jenisch, Ann Carpenter, chairperson, and Margie Lank.
