Drake
Field Summer Recreation Program Submitted By Louise Sawyer
The Drake Field Summer Recreation Program has come to a close for
the 2011 season. This year we actively engaged the community with
the park program and what a huge success this was. I cannot
speak highly enough of the Pittsfield Fire Department, the Police
Department and the Post Office for all the time and information that
was given to the children in the program. They went way above what
we expected and the children asked many intelligent questions and
totally enjoyed their visits. They learned all about the equipment,
police dog demonstration, the SWAT team, what happens in fire,
rescue, ambulance, and police calls.
We also learned what
happens from the time a letter or package is mailed until it is
delivered. We all walked away with a great deal of knowledge and a
feeling of pride for our community.
We also visited the NH Fire
Academy where once again the children got to experience firsthand
the training that takes place to become a fireman. They got to go
through the training towers and even see a plane set on fire and
witness how they attack that type of fire.
Other educational
field trips included a trip to the NH Children’s Museum and Shaker
Village. At Shaker Village we learned that men and women were
separated from each other, what it was like to be a student in
school, many of the inventions that the Shakers are known for as
well as many other interesting facts. Our group was extremely
interested and enjoyed participating in some of the activities that
Shaker children would have done such as stenciling, dancing, and
packaging.
Other enrichment field trips included Liquid Water
Planet, Ellacoya State Park, Chuckie Cheese, the Town Pool, Funspot,
and Mini Golf.
For years the Park Program has been able to
provide opportunities to many of the youths of Pittsfield that they
would not have otherwise been able to enjoy and learn from. Our
educational trips in the past have included touring the Coast Guard
Station and Coast Guard Cutters, National Guard Stations in
Newington and Concord, Duck Boat tours of Boston and Hampton,
Hammond Castle, the Weather Discovery Station, Tramway rides, Lost
River, the Flume, many State Parks and museums in Maine, Vermont,
NH, and Massachusetts. We have also taken trips to the Isles of
Shoals, been on a lobster boat to learn about lobstering, whale
watches, climbed to the top of lighthouses and we have even been to
the University of Southern Maine to learn about rescued seals and
turtles that are later returned back into the ocean.
In addition
to our field trips, we also did many arts and crafts projects, games
and sports activities where we all learned about cooperation and
getting along with each other. The town should be very proud of
their young people. Drake Field Recreation has an excellent
reputation in our student’s behavior and we are always welcomed back
where ever we go.
Once again, I would like to thank Sanderson
Trust, Globe Manufacturing Co., the Foss Family Foundation, the
Rotary Club and J.J. Goodwin’s for making this program possible. We
are already looking for ways of funding the program for 2012. Anyone
interested in making a donation should contact Louise Sawyer at
PMHS.
Letter
To The Editor
I just noticed a sign at the Town Hall parking lot.
It reads: No Unauthorized Parking Without Permit.
Makes me
wonder: • Is authorized parking allowed without a permit? • Is
unauthorized parking allowed with a permit? • How do I know
whether the parking I’m doing is authorized or not? • Where do I
get a permit?

What
You Need To Know A Guide To Understanding The Pittsfield School
District Redesign Submitted By Ross Morse Whole Child Focus
The school looks at the student in a holistic way, attending to the
personal, social and academic growth of each student. There
are personalized programs to address the unique needs of students.
• Extended Learning Opportunities – a non-traditional learning
experience which are passion, interest, and talent based that
provide students opportunities to acquire knowledge and skills
through hands-on learning adventures outside of the classroom that
are also available for credit to be earned.
• Active Learning –
is a method of learning that includes discussion-based classrooms,
project-based assignments, original research and experiment design,
and student choice embedded in course work.
• Interventions and
Supports – the school works to see that every student has access to
the resources needed to succeed. Students are treated
individually and provided with intervention strategies to maximize
their learning and personal growth. There is a “failure is not
an option” culture supporting students.
• Differentiation and
Student Choice is Embedded in Class Work – the school works to see
that every student has access to the resources needed to succeed.
Students are treated individually and provided with intervention
strategies to maximize their learning and personal growth.
There is a “whatever it takes” approach to supporting students.
•
Student Voice and Choice – provides students opportunities to make
decisions about teaching methods, course work, and evaluation
techniques to demonstrate the mastery of course competencies.
A variety of programs, organizations and structures in the school
share the vision that student participation, leadership and
citizenship are essential to school success.
• Heterogeneous
(mixed) Grouping – every student has access to academically
rigorous, college-preparatory courses.
• Academic Support
Programs – through various interventions and supports like after
school homework labs, increased learning time, and opportunities for
revision; the culture of the school creates conditions that do not
allow students to fail.
In short, the Whole Child Focus
eliminates the need for dissection; by supporting the
student/teacher (facilitator) with the tools necessary to recognize
an individual’s pathway to success and recognizing that each pathway
is unique to its traveler. This concept will return ownership of
education to the student and allow implementation of a plan that is
based on the student’s identification of his/her own abilities, both
weak and strong. In our next article we will address college and
career readiness.
Letter
To The Editor
To the good citizens of Pittsfield:
I thought I
would write two letters, one tonight, Sunday, and one Tuesday night,
after the Selectman’s meeting.
To the Selectmen - Comments on the
Upcoming Budget: I go along with the idea of cutting 10% across
the board. The reasons are:
1.) We as a town had
better reduce our tax rate. We have many over assessed
properties in town. This becomes a big problem when the next
assessment comes due. If we as a town do not deliberately work
to reduce our tax rate, it will kill many sales and deals by making
property just too expensive.
2.) The State cut around 10%,
what’s wrong with us?
3.) The Federal Government is about
to make big cuts, what’s wrong with us?
4.) The public
sector has not adjusted their pay and benefits to the realities of
today. In my Stonefence business, 2008 came and we reduced our
price by 30%. In the last three years, we have had 50% of the
paying work. The benefit of this is we go into retirement
early and work on projects for the public good. We get by.
The point is we adjusted. Why can’t my town adjust to the new
economic realities?
5.) If you can’t tell the Department
heads to come in with a 10% reduction, you will do nothing to make
many of us hope we can keep our tax rate from reaching the moon.
To be continued...

next summer. We ran three 2 week sessions with the middle session
being held in the evening.
Attendance has been on the decline

We would like to thank all our patrons, Kydstop, Epsom
Better Buddies, and the Highway Department for their continued

TOPS
News Submitted By Terrie Azotea
We had a few rainy days out
there, but today it seems to be getting back to the summer heat. I
know I have been really busy canning those fresh veggies. The smell
in the kitchen after making a fresh batch of pickles is awesome. The
plus is it keeping me busy and that is what we need to do; stay
busy.
If we take those extra stairs in a office, or park our car
at the other end of the parking lot while we are doing some
shopping, those extra steps help. It’s all about the exercise
and how we get it throughout the day.
I know for some, it’s hard
if you work in a office. But try to park your car further away and
if you get the chance, walk on your lunch break. We didn’t get the
chance to walk this week at TOPS, but we are hoping to get to it
next week. So if you see us out there, send a wave.
At
TOPS we try to encourage each other and help one another get to our
weight loss goal. It’s a lifestyle change and a daily struggle so we
all need a little help. If anyone is interested in seeing what we do
at TOPS, stop by on a Tuesday night. We meet at the St. Stephen’s
Church on Main Street in Pittsfield at 5:30 pm for weigh in and at
6:30 pm for our meeting.
Any questions please call Laurel Tiede
at 269-8721 or Pat Smith at 435-5333 and both those ladies would be
glad to help. Hope to see everyone lighter next week... Enjoy!
Agent
Orange Claim Filing Deadline Aug. 30 Submitted By Merrill A.
Vaughan
Vice Commander American Legion Peterson-Cram Post 75
Pittsfield, NH 03263
Vietnam-era veterans who have medical
diagnoses for three presumptive conditions related to Agent Orange
exposure need to file their disability claims with the Department of
Veterans Affairs by Aug. 30 in order to qualify for up to one year
of retroactive benefits.
The three diseases recently added to
VA’s list of presumptive conditions related to Agent Orange exposure
or other herbicides during the Vietnam War are ischemic heart
disease, hairy cell and other B-cell leukemias, and Parkinson’s
disease.
“Veterans who suffer from these presumptive conditions
can apply for disability benefits at any time,” said Verna Jones,
director of The American Legion’s Veterans Affairs and
Rehabilitation Division. “But they need to apply by the Aug. 30
deadline in order to possibly get up to a year’s worth of benefits
retroactively,”
Widows and widowers whose spouses have died from
Agent Orange presumptive conditions may also qualify for retroactive
benefits and are encouraged to file for dependent indemnity
compensation by Aug. 30.
American Legion Peterson-Cram Post 75
Vice-Commander Merrill Vaughan adds the importance of applying for
these conditions. “Every year, the VA adds to the “Presumptive
causes from Agent Orange, but in order to receive the benefit, you
need to apply for it”. Once August 30th is past, the deal is
no more. I urge you to Not delay in applying for what you
should rightfully receive.
Letter
To The Editor
To the citizens of Pittsfield, As a Chairman of
your Ethics Committee, I feel compelled to counter Ms. Morin’s
interpretation and presentation of your Ethics Committee.
Since The Code was enacted in 2005, there have been no changes to
the Code. However, I must add here, that attempts were made by
the committee as late as this past January when Ms. Morin was
Chairperson of the Board of Selectmen.
On January 25,
2011, I appeared before the Board of Selectmen with three proposed
changes that had been coordinated with our Town Counsel. These
proposed changes, were for a better system for you, the citizens of
Pittsfield. All three changes were denied. Now we have a
letter to the residents of Pittsfield complaining about how the
process is in need of fixing.
When we first get the
complaint, it is in a sealed envelope and it is not broken until we
meet 48 hours later in a properly posted meeting notification. She
is right, we open in a public session then we go into non-public
session to protect both identities. At this time, we read the
complaint and I mention “No one is to talk about this outside this
room, no spouses, friends, no one”. After we decide if there are
grounds to go further, or not, we go back into public session.
We DO NOT go into non-public to “meet secretly and may be discussing
or deliberating on facts or merits of the complaint instead of
deciding whether the complaint on its face states a violation of
Town’s Ethics Rules.”
There will be more in the next
edition of the Sun of what YOUR Ethics Committee is working on this
year.
Respectfully, Merrill Vaughan
Glenn
Amnott (l) and James Zensky (r), the presidents of Pittsfield Youth
Baseball and the Suncook Valley Soccer Club respectively, shake
hands after signing an agreement that will bring soccer back to the
newly-renovated Pittsfield Youth Athletic Park on Tilton Hill.
Come out to the park on Saturday, September 10th from 9-2 for the
soccer club’s jamboree.
Letter
To The Editor
Just got back from a Selectmen’s meeting. I
don’t think there will be a 10% reduction in the Town Budget.
Some of the comments from the selectmen were they would come up with
the lowest budget that they could come up with, continue to budget
to provide services, any reduction could mean cutting staff.
They have pretty much level funded for the past three years;
insurance going up and contract talks are ongoing.
More cuts
would result in cutting stuff that the town really needs. They
promised to look at the budget with a fine tooth comb and they will
cut where appropriate.
As you might well guess, I’m not really
impressed with comments that say to me no big changes, just a little
tweak here or there.
Someday we will pay the price for our
inaction, if we are not already paying.
