Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:

Continuing with my bills for this year, I cosponsored a bill with another representative, then picked it up when he didn’t get elected. He’s a barber, and wanted to delete the one year of experience required before a barber can get a shop license; last year’s bills about cosmetologists and barbers had shown me that requirement was not really necessary. Sure, a high school grad who goes on to beauty school may well need a year’s experience before opening a shop – but many people go into barbering or cosmetology as a second career.

 

I also took up one of Representative Brandon Giuda’s bills, putting into statute the basic principle that you are not responsible for the uses a criminal may make of an item stolen from you. It seems obvious to me, but apparently the courts don’t see it my way! Another obvious bill repeals the special personnel rules granted to employees of the Department of Health & Human Services, allowing them to retain benefits indefinitely if affected by a reorganization. Nice, maybe, but unfair to workers in other departments since this was put in place for the reorganization in 1995!

 

I also submitted a bill for a constituent, simplifying the regulations on health clubs. These laws were passed in the 1980s, when gyms were notorious for violating consumer protections with their aggressive promotions and “special offers.” Since then, gyms have become more responsible, but the laws haven’t changed, and they’re written to be applicable to a lot of businesses besides gyms. So, after talking with people in the industry, I spent some time cleaning up the statutes to be less burdensome.

 

Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details than fit here.

Epsom Central School Staff and Faculty

Mrs. Lisa Bauer, Social Studies Teacher, 6th and 7th

 

Lisa is starting her 26th year of teaching at ECS. She graduated from Keene State College with a BS in Education, and is currently taking graduate courses geared toward anti-bullying instruction. Aside from teaching social studies, Lisa manages the magazine drive fundraiser and is in charge of the National Geographic Geography Bee, in which a number of ECS students have made it to the state final round. She served as union president for 12 years.

 

When asked about her favorite aspect of teaching, Lisa says, “The Epsom kids are awesome! They make me laugh. I love what I teach.” Lisa enjoys traveling and brings back to the classroom stories and power point presentations based on her travels to such places as Plymouth Plantation, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and the Tower of London. She particularly enjoys the annual ritual of meeting with ECS graduates as they prepare to graduate from high school, playing Jeopardy and listening to the kids talk about their plans for life.

 

Lisa enjoys the small, rural nature of Epsom. She is happy to find in her class, children of former students. Lisa says she works with “an amazing team who are not only colleagues, but also my friends.” She enjoys the support of the Administration as well. Lisa would recommend that parents spend 15 minutes or more each day talking with their children about their day, asking what they did in school, and relating one thing that they learned today.

 

Lisa and her husband of 27 years, Randy, live in Dunbarton. She is in the local Garden Club, loves to travel, and spends a great deal of time with her nine grandchildren, aged seven to 20. Lisa hopes, when she has retired, she is remembered for more than her spectacular sneezes and raucous laughter.

Roberta “Bobby” Lynn Mongeon, 64, of Epsom, died suddenly on December 4 at Concord Hospital. 

 

She was born in Rochester, NH, the daughter of George “Ted” and Phyllis Reese. For 31 years she taught Family and Consumer Studies and Culinary Arts at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. She was loved by her students, many who pursued careers in the culinary arts because of her enthusiasm and attention to detail. 

 

She was instrumental in bringing a new library to the Town of Epsom having been a long-time member of the board of Library Trustees. Her passion for reading centered around mysteries, cookbooks and reading to her four grandsons. 

 

She worked part time for Historic New England taking particular pride in Hamilton House and its history. She was a member of the Epsom Fire Department Auxiliary for many years, the Epsom Historical Society and recently a member of the Epsom Rebekah Lodge. 

 

Her hobbies included architecture, gardening, baking, throwing parties, boating, swimming, kayaking, walking, playing cards and shopping. She could often be found outside with her grandsons piling leaves to jump into or inside making gingerbread houses and birthday cakes. She loved cats, cars, travel and anything to do with the ‘50s’. She loved summer best of all and spent countless hours on Pleasant Lake with her family. 

 

She leaves behind her son, Joel Dail and his wife, Meggin and their sons, Earnhardt and Carson of Epsom; her daughter, Brett Gagnon and her husband, Jason and their sons, Brannock and Elyas of Dover; her mother Phyllis Reese of Northwood; her brother, George Reese Jr., his wife, Karen and their sons, Ian and Sean of Epsom; her brother, Charles Reese, his wife, Nancy and their sons, Tyler and Cooper of Deerfield.
