As part of the library’s Adult Programming, Saving Mr. Banks, the story of how the movie Mary Poppins came about, will be shown at the Epsom Library on Wednesday, April 9, at 7:00 p.m.  Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks, and Paul Giamatti star in the film.

 

Rob Slaven, a movie critic for Amazon, says that “Saving Mr. Banks is a dual narrative portrait of the author of Mary Poppins and the creative team at Walt Disney that worked to bring it to the  big screen.  In one thread (l961) we have the curmudgeonly author behaving like a stark raving . . .well, curmudgeon, as she tries to exert control over the creative process.  In  other thread, (1906, Australia) we unwind the story of her grim childhood that makes her a curmudgeon in  first place.”

 

Popcorn and soft drinks will be served.

Letter To The Editor

 

The frost is 3-5 feet deep in the roads. For the sake of the paved roads I hope it doesn’t get too hot too soon, but as far as for me, I’m ready.  A reminder, please drive on the high areas on your road to flatten it out and we’ll save each other misery.

 

I have a question you may know the answer to… If you go to a gas station with a gas can and push 93 octane and you put 2 ½ gallons in the can, did you get any 93 octane and if you did, how much?

 

Knowing that the traffic circle’s original purpose was for the continuous flow of traffic, I’ve often wondered why some people work so hard to make sure others don’t get in front or in back of them?

 

Spring is coming!

Your Road Agent,

Gordon Ellis

Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,

This week, the House was met to vote on all remaining House bills. HB1372 funded training pediatric sexual assault nurse examiners. This bill was very confused in that the urgent need cited was for physicians, but the training that would be provided was for nurses. In addition, this program has a grant starting in September, so the need to pay Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s IT costs immediately (as the bill does) doesn’t make sense. After some debate, with the opponents pointing out that the money was not well focused on the actual problems, the bill passed, 188-119.

 

HB1602, telling the Public Utilities Commission to decide if PSNH should divest its remaining power generating facilities, was debated both on whether we should force the divestiture, and if we should delegate that decision. I’m not sure about the divestiture, but I strongly feel that if we are to force that significant an action, it should be done by the legislature. Let the PUC make a recommendation and present their analysis, but ordering divestiture is too much to require them to do. The bill finally passed, 185-134.

 

HB2014, the ten year plan for transportation improvements, was explained more than debated and passed on a voice vote. It is heavy on repair and maintenance rather than construction, addressing the 100 worst red list bridges. The construction items include replacing the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge in Portsmouth; widening the next segment of I93; and widening Rte 101 in Bedford for the two miles that have the worst accident record in the state. HB2014 does include an allocation for the increased funds from an increase in the gas tax, contingent on that tax increase being approved.

 

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

“Ring Of Fire”

Submitted By Nancy Heath

 

The Epsom Historical Association held its Spring Meeting and Musical Revue at the Epsom Public Library Sunday March 23, 2014. We had a full house in attendance.

 

This year, the Musical Revue theme was from the 50s and 60s. Betsy Bosiak narrated and the following local talent performed: Self-accompanied soloists were: Bruce Graham (banjos) and Paul Morencey (guitar); Nancy Yeaton on the keyboard accompanied soloists Barbara Harkness, Joyce Heck, and Vicki Watson. Dick Frambach and his harmonica joined Bruce in a few songs and engaged the audience as we all participated in a 50s and 60s sing-along (Mitch Miller style). Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” was probably the easiest to sing along, thus the loudest!

 

Few things are more heartwarming fun than an informal “walk down memory lane” with our neighbors. George and Jean Foster were there, an impromptu “Happy Birthday” was sung to Jean (she did not tell us how old she is). President Carole Brown wishes to thank all in attendance, the performers and those who brought goodies for the mingling afterward.

 

The next Epsom Historical Association event is to be an ice cream social and will be held this coming summer. For anyone who is interested in joining the Epsom Historical Association, dues are only $15.00 per year for the whole family. I will follow up later with more info re the association.
