Epsom Native Stephanie Allen Inducted Into Stonehill College’s Honor
Society
Epsom native Stephanie Allen was recently inducted into Stonehill
College’s Honor Society, Lambda Epsilon Sigma. Allen is a member of
Stonehill’s Class of 2013.
The purpose of the society is to recognize and promote scholarship
at the College. Juniors and seniors who have attained a 3.5
cumulative grade point average are invited to apply for
consideration. Acceptance into the society is based on evidence of
academic achievement, of a pursuit of learning that extends beyond
the classroom environment and of an ability to communicate
effectively through writing.
Additionally, in order to be inducted into the society, the student
must be recommended by faculty both from the student’s major and
from outside of the student’s major.
Letter
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
This week the House met to consider Senate bills. SB343, creating a
separate psychologists’ board, was debated at length and passed,
249-81. SB287, forbidding prescription data from being sold for
marketing purposes, was amended to include the prescriber’s
identification as well as the patient’s within the protected data,
226-106, and passed. SB409, allowing the use of marijuana for
medical purposes, was amended to sunset in three years and passed,
236-96, without debate. Then SB225, reallocating some of the $15 fee
for a vital records request from the state general fund to the town
clerk, was debated at length before failing, 236-85.
After the Senate today killed a number of bills that the House
strongly supported, leadership decided to add them onto Senate
bills, as part of the usual House/Senate maneuvers at the end of a
term. SB272, enabling towns to create truancy ordinances, was
amended to have truancy records expunged once a child turns 18. Then
an amendment was presented to add the content of HB1174. This
amendment was debated briefly but passed 216-83. SB378, allowing
municipalities to vote to remove snow from private roads and
driveways, was also amended, 219-106, to incorporate HB1645 and
passed, 222-105.
SB155, allowing businesses to deduct up to $25,000 in equipment
expenses each year, up from $20K, was briefly debated. Then HB1405
was added and the bill passed, 230-76. SB295, increasing the
research and development tax credit from $1M statewide each year to
$2M, was debated and an amendment going back to $1M defeated,
72-232; then the content of HB1659 was added to this bill, 190-109,
and the bill passed, 207-93.
Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details
than I can fit in a letter.

Battle Crossfit To Open In Epsom
Walking into Battle CrossFit’s new gym in Epsom will be a very
different experience for those who are used to rows of treadmills,
stationary bikes or walls of free weights in their gyms. Instead you
will be greeted by wide open space, gymnastics rings, and pull-up
racks. A CrossFit gym isn’t even called a gym, it’s a "box." Not
only is the environment different, but for new CrossFit athletes,
the workout regimen will be entirely new as well. Rather than
workouts with a single goal in mind, such as weight loss or
increased strength, CrossFit workouts are designed to make you fit
across a broad spectrum of movements. The focus of these movements
is functional fitness: basically, preparing you for everyday life.
The classes always take place in a group setting and are led by a
certified trainer.
Battle CrossFit is owned by husband and wife team Justin and Rachael
Strevig. The two US Army veterans are dedicated to helping
individuals become fit and healthy. "Our program is designed for
scalability and applies equally well to all individuals regardless
of age or fitness level," says Justin. "How many gyms provide you
with personal training each and every time you workout?" asks
Rachael. "The key to CrossFit is the camaraderie both within the gym
and the larger CrossFit community. You have a whole team of people
pulling for you all the time. This isn’t something you do by
yourself."
CrossFit has recently exploded in popularity. Founded in 2000 by
Greg Glassman there are more than 2500 CrossFit affiliates worldwide
according to CrossFit.com. The annual CrossFit Games which crown the
world’s fittest athlete are broadcast on ESPN and Bob Harper,
renowned fitness trainer, has featured CrossFit workouts on NBC’s
hit series The Biggest Loser.
CrossFit workouts or WODs (Workout of the Day) are based on
functional movement and incorporate elements of gymnastics,
weightlifting, and cardiovascular exercise. The workouts are short,
usually no more than 20 minutes, and intense. They are never boring
and rarely the same. WODs allow you to measure your improvement over
time and are designed for broad rather than specific fitness. In
other words, a person who trains and runs marathons may be a good
and efficient runner but may not be good at lifting weights and a
bodybuilder may be able to lift lots of weight but have trouble
running a mile. CrossFit works to perfect the idea of a well rounded
athlete. Says Justin, "There is a thrill in working to make yourself
a better person and doing that with people who have the same goal."
Battle CrossFit opens its doors May 7th for the first on-ramp
classes. The gym is located at 2008 Dover Road (Route 4) in Epsom,
next to the Concord Hospital facility. For more information, please
contact Justin or Rachael Strevig at 888-805-5114,
[email protected],
