“New England Scenes” Paintings By Nan
Quintin At The Epsom Public Library


Come to the Epsom Public Library and enjoy paintings by featured artist Nan Quintin April 16 to May 28, 2011.  There will be an opening reception Saturday, April 16 1:00 – 3:00.  Public is cordially invited.


This show includes watercolor and acrylic paintings of New England landscapes and still life arrangements, as well as miniature paintings. Nan is a member of the Chelmsford Art Society and the Nashua Area Artists Association.


The artist grew up on a small farm in Groton, Massachusetts, and has lived in nearby Pepperell, Massachusetts for almost 30 years, only three miles from her childhood home. She often goes there to paint, and many of her paintings have agricultural themes. Her Pepperell home also influences her painting. It is what remains of a mill complex from the 1840s with an interesting history of having been a grist mill, saw mill and gravestone manufacturing firm.


Miniature Folk Art
Don’t miss the miniature folk art scenes in the display cases. These detailed paintings, all 5” x 7” or smaller, are painted with acrylic paint on canvas or masonite panels.


Nan is frequently asked questions concerning the size of her paint brushes and the length of time required to create a miniature painting. She uses “very small brushes that come to a fine point”. When asked how long it takes to do a miniature acrylic landscape, Nan says:  “It takes about an hour per square inch to do the actual painting, plus time to prepare the surface, compose the picture, locate reference material, mat and frame the picture - plus a lifetime of experience!”  Nan states that these imaginative paintings are “fun to paint, inspired by happy childhood memories” and “are intended to offer a pleasant escape from everyday concerns.” To learn more about miniature art and Miniature Art Societies, visit www.art-in-miniature.org.


Nan’s work may be seen during regular library hours, Monday – Thursday, 10 am to 7 pm and Saturday, 9 am to 1 pm.  For more information, call 736-9920.

Epsom HealthCare Center’s Activity
Department Wins Pop Tart Contest Put On By Kelloggs!
Submitted By Scott R. Foley, AD
Activity Director Epsom Healthcare Center


I submitted a short essay to the question that they posed: “What Would You Do With One Thousand Pop Tarts?”

 
I stated that I had never tasted a Pop Tart until I was an adult and I was sure that many of the elders at the Nursing Home had never tasted them either, so I would throw a Pop Tart Party!


Well, when I arrived home one day there was One Thousand Pop Tarts sitting on my doorstep with a note and a Flip Video Camera. We Won!


We invited some residents from a nursing home in Manchester to join us; we sang a song that we wrote about eating Pop Tarts, that you are never too old to try something new! We had musical entertainment sung by Scott Foley (Activity Director at Epsom Healthcare Center) and created and tasted a variety of Pop Tart creations like “Ham and pineapple in between a  Brown Cinnamon Sugar Pop Tart” and many other creations as well as everyone’s favorite creation the “Pop Tart Ice Cream Sundae!” created by my Assistants, Cindy Pickard and Laurie McPhee. We had a Blast!


The many leftover Pop Tarts were donated to the Epsom Food Bank at the Town Hall.

 


 

Epsom Public Library An Introduction To Genealogy


Have you ever wanted to learn more about your ancestry but didn’t know where or how to begin?  On April 13th at 7:00 p.m., Bill Copeley, Librarian at the New Hampshire Historical Society, will present An Introduction to Genealogy at the Epsom Library. He will discuss what genealogy is, why we should all have an interest in our ancestors, show some of the basic sources that are available, and advise where to go to do research in New Hampshire.


Mr. Copeley received a B.S. in 1970 from MIT, majoring in Humanities and Science; an M.A. in 1973 from the University of Wyoming where he majored in American Studies; and pursued graduate work in library science at the University of Rhode Island.
He has been with the New Hampshire Historical Society in Concord since 1973 and has been the Librarian there since 1987.

 


 

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
After all the drama last week, it was a pleasure to hear some straightforward Senate bills. SB157, on the division of weights and measures, allows private service contractors to apply the state seal on scales or other measuring devices used in commerce. It also defunds three positions that the department had used when it had the only authority to apply these seals, and rolled back device license fees to the 2008 level. Three technicians aren’t enough to inspect and certify every measuring device in the state once a year; and the state had gotten behind on these certifications. Even worse, they have long been unable to audit and discipline the service technicians, all of whom are licensed by the department.


SB161, on adoption of agency rules, is a fairly minor simplification of the rule making process. It allows for a second public hearing when the proposed rules are significantly changed after the first hearing, and establishes the procedures to adjust schedules when necessary. SB173, proclaiming January 24, 2012 as Granny D. Day, was the opportunity for several of her fans to read letters of commendation to us. SB153, on real estate appraisers, is an expansion of licensing requirements and increased fees for real estate appraisers, all in the name of complying with the federal Dodds-Frank bill. The licensing subcommittee will examine this scheme very closely, but we will probably have to adopt it.


I also presented HB339, on the state meat inspection program, to the Senate ED&A committee, and they immediately voted to recommend it to the full Senate.


Anyone interested in what is going on in the State House is invited to email or call me. Anyone who wants more information than I can fit into a letter should email me for my newsletter.
