Epsom Public Library News

“Spies in Time”

 

Douglas L. Wheeler, Professor of History Emeritus, UNH, will present “Spies in Time,” at the Epsom Library on Wednesday, November 20, at 7:00 p.m., courtesy of a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council.

 

How have spying and intelligence activities influenced the course of history?  Professor Wheeler will discuss investigating case studies of how great powers have used spies in war and peace. The program traces the history of spying from the Dreyfus case in France (1894-1906) to the Aldrich Ames case in the United States (1980’s and 90’s).  Professor Wheeler focuses the discussion on how human motives, traits, and ideas shape the search for secret information and how that information is used and misused in international affairs.

 

Douglas Wheeler’s research interests include the far-reaching impacts of 20th and 21st Century intelligence activities; “cultures of espionage” and their expressions, including spy novels, films, and gadgets; government secrecy; and surveillance as a defense against terrorism.

 

Come join as for what promises to be a most interesting evening.

Epsom Central School Staff and Faculty

Mrs. Diane Currier, Main Office Secretary

 

If one wished for a pleasant, competent, and smiling person to greet and help people at the ECS main office, Diane would be an excellent choice. She’s been on the job for one year in this bustling office which, along with the adjacent principal’s office, is the nerve center of the school. Diane says a typical question every day is, “Your child is going where after school?” Since security of the children is Job #1 at ECS, all the faculty and staff collaborate to ascertain the location and destination of 430-plus kids as they leave school. Diane says that her job is challenging and fun, saying, “There’s something new going on every day, I learn something new every day, it’s very busy here, and the day goes by very quickly indeed.”

 

Diane graduated from PA and got a degree in secretarial sciences from Notre Dame College. For a time, she worked for a local business before starting a family. Ten years later, she reentered the work force, serving as a paraprofessional for seven years in the Pembroke school district. She started to miss office-type work and was looking around just as the ECS position became available. Diane says, “I love it here. I’m not sorry I decided to make a change. I’m gradually coming to know the children. The staff is very friendly and the help they offer me makes it wonderful to work here!”

 

Diane tells kids to always try their best and, if they don’t succeed, that’s OK, but keep trying. To parents, she would suggest they spend time with their kids, love them, and tuck them into bed every night. Diane lives in Pembroke with Eddie, her husband of 24 years, a 19-year-old daughter who’s a freshman at Emerson College, a 15-year-old daughter who’s a sophomore at PA, and Hershey, a three-year-old chocolate Lab. In her spare time, Diane enjoys camping and kayaking with her family and catching up with Hershey.

 


 

AT EASE VETERANS

 

Reveille! Reveille! Veteran, it’s time to come home to me:

there will be no need to show your ID.

 

Whoever you be or where ever you are:

the distance for you is not that far.

 

That which you have done:

is similar to the gift of my Son.

 

As you go neath the sky:

you’ll find me, your Father, of most high.

 

Enter now my servant for your reward:

and thank you for accepting me as your Lord.

 

Jim and Nanci Breagy

 


 

Letter to the Editor

 

Today the legislature was called into special session to consider Medicaid expansion. Medicaid has always been a program that provides medical care for poor people in circumstances beyond their control. To get Medicaid, it is not enough to have low income and few assets, one must also be disabled, elderly, a child, pregnant, blind, etc. Once someone qualifies for Medicaid they get medical care without co-pays, and at almost any doctor or hospital in the state. About 12% of New Hampshire’s residents currently get Medicaid.

 

Medicaid expansion only uses the low-income test for those under 65. It eliminates the asset test, so someone with second homes, stocks or large bank accounts could still qualify. Even worse it creates perverse incentives and encourages people to game the system. If a family’s income is near the cut-off (about $30,000 for a family of four) they will have a huge incentive to work a little less to stay under the threshold.

 

Perhaps the worst part is that Medicaid is all or nothing. If you qualify, you get free medical care, if you don’t you get nothing. A sensible program would give the most benefits to poorest, and then have subsidies taper off as incomes rise. That way the very poor get help, but people still have an incentive to work and earn as much as possible.

 

Many legislators are concerned that expansion will bankrupt state government in the long run. The federal government has promised to pay 100% of the costs for the first three years, and then 90% thereafter. But who knows how long they can continue to borrow money? And whether the money comes from the feds or the state, in the end it is the taxpayers who will be footing the bill
