Poor Weather Ends Snowmobile Season Early


Recent flooding and this winter’s ice storms have wrought havoc on Epsom’s local snowmobile trails. Downed limbs and trees, leaf debris and overflowing streams necessitated an early end for the snowmobile season this year.


There is a lot of work to be done to get the trails passable for summer recreation and usable for snowmobiles next winter. Work crews from the Fort Mountain Trailwinders, Epsom’s Local Snowmobile Club, will be out on the trails during the spring, summer and fall getting ready for what we hope will be a better season next winter.


The Trailwinders will be sponsoring a Black Fly Breakfast on Sunday, April 18th from 7 am to 11 am at the Epsom Fire Station to raise funds for purchase of equipment and materials needed for clearing brush, removing ice-damage debris and rebuilding bridges that have been eroded by recent flooding.


The club is working on a long-term maintenance plan for the 40+ miles of trails in Epsom and is seeking feedback from landowners and recreational users for particular areas needing improvement. Please submit your comments in writing to FMTW, PO Box 61, Epsom, NH 03234 or email to [email protected]

Ivy Green Rebekah Lodge


Ivy Green Rebekah Lodge #36 had two guest speakers at their recent meeting. Dennis Lauze is a board member for the Pease Greeters and spoke about what the organization does. The greeters welcome home or send the troops off at Pease in Newington. The group has sent over 13,000 care packages to the troops overseas and over 50,000 greeters have come to Pease. He shared stories about many veterans who now are part of the greeter’s organization. The Rebekahs are hosting a special dance on May 15th from 8-midnight with Nazzy Entertainments DJ to raise money for this worthwhile organization. For info call 736-8681 or 736-4707 or 736-9091.


The group also enjoyed a presentation by Karla Roth, Director of Volunteer Services at Concord Hospital. Karla talked about the Infant Layette Program at the hospital. Volunteers put together about 100 layettes per year for low income parents, homeless women, and those without insurance. Each layette bag includes knitted garments, blankets, diapers, wipes etc. What a wonderful program this is! Special thanks to Jennifer Army and Jen Prusia for inviting these great speakers to our meeting.

 


 

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield:
There was no House session this week, so we concentrated on committee business. My committee developed an amendment to SB463, regarding the board of mental health practice, to more explicitly deal with inactive licenses, proctored examinations, the use of alternates to meet quorum, and board responsibility for training investigators. The full committee recommended the amendment and the bill to the House. SB344, regarding benefits of some employees, was about one person who was caught between state employee benefits and the Manchester retirement system. The committee recommended it; I, and three others, voted against because we oppose changing the system for one person.


We heard SB499, from the committee on committees I served on last summer, on consolidating the administration of 18 regulatory boards for various health related professions. The professional functions of the boards would not be changed, but the offices will be co-located and the staff cross trained. Since many of these boards have part-time staff, sharing staff and coordinating office procedures will improve service and probably save money once the break-in is complete.


SB478 combined housekeeping changes to the board of home inspectors, and establishing a “retired” category for architects, with a realignment of the plumbers’ board into the building code enforcement division of the state fire marshal’s office. Last year a performance audit found that the plumbers’ board was rife with conflicts of interest, inefficiency, and the appearance, of least, of corruption. The fire marshal’s office currently oversees the electricians’ and gas fitters’ boards, and provides an appeal process, when necessary.


Anyone interested in what’s going on at the State House is invited to email or call me; those who’d like a more detailed report than I can fit in The Sun should email me for my newsletter.


Representative
