Regional Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) Document Is Available For Public Comment

 

Central NH Regional Planning Commission (CNHRPC), along with the Southern NH Planning Commission (SNHPC), have been working on the  development of a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), for our 20 communities plus 5 from SNHPC. The document is an economic plan for the region and it includes several key components:

 

1. A Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat analysis

 

2. An analysis of our regional industry cluster

 

3. A series of goals and objectives designed to strengthen our local economy by capitalizing on our assets and addressing our challenges

 

4. A series of proposed projects to implement these strategies

 

At this time, the final document is available for public review and comment.

 

The comment period ends August 26, 2014.

 

The CEDS is available on our website:  http://cnhrpc.org/images/stories/CEDS/ceds%20draft%20July%2021.pdf

 

The appendix to this document is available at:     http://cnhrpc.org/images/stories/CEDS/ceds%20appendix%20july%2021.pdf

Letter To The Editor

 

On September 9th we will get to choose who will be the Republican candidate for governor to take on incumbent Hassan. I want to encourage you to consider supporting Bristol native, and entrepreneur, Andrew Hemingway. I believe Governor Hassan is taking NH down the road of MA and that the best way to defeat her is to nominate someone with stark contrasts. With all due respect to the other GOP candidate for governor (Walt Havenstein), he doesn’t seem to demonstrate a whole lot of difference from our current governor. I could say more about that, but I want to focus on the positive side. 

 

As governor, Mr. Hemingway would help protect our Fourth Amendment privacy rights; implementing legislation that prohibits the State from collecting an individuals health information. Also, barring law enforcement from accessing data on a suspect’s cell phone without a proper warrant. It’s time for a governor who is pro freedom, which is the biggest ingredient required to create an atmosphere conducive for the entrepreneur to start a business and provide jobs.

 

It’s time to end the status quo in NH. Since 2004, our unemployment rate has gone up 35% and since 2011, it has ceased to be the lowest in the region. I don’t want to see my favorite state continue to slide. It’s time to elect Andrew Hemingway as governor.

 

Sincerely,

Willie Matras

Pittsfield

 


 

Thank You

 

Ray and I would like to thank all of our family and friends for the outpouring of support that was given to us during Rays recovery after his triple bypass surgery. The many prayers first of all and the rides, cards, and all the donations that got us through this difficult time. We pray that God blesses each and everyone of you in a special way, the way that Ray and I have been blessed.

 

Thank you all so much

 

Love, 

Ray and Tedie St.Pierre

 


 

TOPS

 

At TOPS our KOPS best loser two weeks ago was Mickey and our Tops was April, this past week our KOPS was Peggy and our Tops was Jon. Kudos to you all and keep up the good work.

 

We did have our area Captain come out for a visit and do our program and that was very interesting with information on the benefits of walking and what it does to our bodies.

 

This past week we had Royalty and again I say great job to everyone. We would like to welcome Heather who is a new member.

 

We have an Inspiration Workshop coming up along with a auction.

We had a small program on the seven steps to weight loss. A couple tips were portion control, really keep a eye on your plate to see how much it has on it. It’s best to eat a smaller amount and then give it some time to see if you are still hungry. Cut your portion size by 20 % and that will help. Walking is best and we often use our calories with our drinks, keep an eye on them and use your calories on food and drink water or tea.

 

So, I guess our word of the week is move, move, move. If anyone is interested in joining us we meet on Tuesday nights at the Berakah on Fairview Rd. in Pittsfield @ 5:30 for weigh-in and @ 6:30 for our meeting. Any questions please call Janis White @491-5532 or Claire Coll @ 435-7271. Hope everyone has a good week and see you all lighter next week!

Forever Friends

Four_Friends_Photo.jpg

These four ladies, Jean Chickering Nardozzi of Hobe Sound, Fla. and Pembroke; Carolyn Tonkin Reed of Keene; Joan Remington Wentworth of Concord; and Joan Trace Riel of Pittsfield (now all 85 or older) first met at the Abbie Tilsley Dance Studio at the Friendly Club Gym in Concord in the early 1930s. Dance lessons and recitals continued until the late ‘40s. High school graduations took them on different journeys, but they always kept in touch. Now each summer they still get together for a luncheon date and fun times reminiscing. They continue to be “forever friends.”

Letter To The Editor

 

I would like to say Thank You to the Suncook Valley Rotary Club and everyone who was a part of this year’s 2014 Hot Air Balloon Rally at Drake Field in Pittsfield, NH.  From the looks of the weather mid week, the weekend looked liked it would be rain Sat. and Sun.  After a slight delay with the weather on Saturday night, it turned out to be great.

 

After a nice walk along the midway,  my wife and I, along with my little boy, sat under the Suncook Valley Rotary Tent and had some of the best hamburgers and hot dogs we have had all year long along with drinks and chips. Right from our seats we saw the huge pretty balloons being inflated with hot air, to sail away into the sunset. It was so beautiful to see. 

 

After dinner we moved from our seats under the tent and walked to the baseball field with many other people. We put a blanket on the grass and listened to some great music from Studio Two  “The Beatles.”   The band was fantastic for young and old with John, Paul, George, and Ringo. It was a night we will always remember to be relaxing and fun, especially when we are knee deep in snow this winter.

 

Thank You Suncook Valley Rotary Club for all your efforts each year to put this wonderful program together and make it a nice family event for everyone. 

 

Ray & Patty O’Brien

Medford, MA
