On Wednesday, May 25 the Epsom Public Library will be showing the movie, The Lady in the Van at 1:30 PM.  Starring the magnificent Maggie Smith, the film is based on a true story of Miss Shepherd, a woman of uncertain origins who temporarily parks her van in Alan Bennet’s London driveway and proceeds to live there 15 years.  “What starts as a begrudged favor becomes a relationship that will change both their lives.”

 

Be sure to mark your calendar for Wednesday  June 1 at 7:00 for a program about spring organizing and downsizing with Helene Parenteau.

 


 

Epsom Food Pantry

 

Good Day Friends.  as most of you  know my husband of 68 years passed away, so my attention to the needs of the pantry had to be on hold.  But now I am back in the swing, so here goes.

 

First of all, many thanks to the following folks for donations  both material and money: Phil and Nancy Yeaton, Clara Bedard, the South Pittsfield Community Club, and St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Pittsfield.  Oh, I hope I haven’t missed anyone. The Pantry itself is doing just great.

 

We do need soup, mac and cheese and hash. Again, a reminder of your gardens. Do not forget a row for the Pantry.  When I told you of our needs when your are shopping and can afford a little extra fresh veggies and fruit, they are always welcome.

 

Until next time, many thanks from Ken and I for your wonderful support of the Epsom Food Pantry.

Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield, This week, the House met on the last of the Senate bills, staying past 9pm to finish them all. SB540, banning the use of kratom (a psychoactive plant from Thailand, also known as khat) by minors, was debated more on the inadequacies of the bill than the need for a ban, and tabled, 202-143. SB315, updating the statutes regulating barbers and cosmetologists, was debated at quite a length. The committee amendment, which consolidated and updated language and also deleted the need for “shampoo apprentices” to be licensed, passed without comment. A minority amendment which merely added a “friends and family” exemption, was debated and defeated, 163-166, and a final amendment to decrease the penalty for barbering without a license from a misdemeanor to a violation was defeated, 111-218. This margin was largely because, as a change in criminal penalties, it would normally go to the Criminal Justice committee, and there was no time to do so.

 

CACR27, a balanced budget constitutional amendment, was debated and not passed, 201-139, on a party line vote. (Constitutional amendments need a 3/5 margin to pass.) It was then tabled on a voice vote. Dan debated SB481, an anti-competitive regulation of new health care facilities (only; existing ones were exempt), but the bill passed, 195-134. Since this is the time to re-send the Senate bills that the House strongly supports, SB527, which funded the police standards and training council, was amended, 162-139, to include authorization for biweekly pay, and passed. SB533, adding $5 million for drug abuse treatment and prevention, was a target for constitutional carry, but that amendment failed, 98-208, after House leadership warned that the governor might veto it.

 

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

New Rye Church & American Legion to Celebrate Memorial Day at the Old Allenstown Meeting House

Submitted by Dorene Young, New Rye Church Secretary

On Sunday May 29th, New Rye Union Congregational Church and the Elwood O. Wells American Legion Post #112 will celebrate Memorial Day by worshipping together at the historic Old Allenstown Meeting House in Bear Brook State Park. The venerable Meeting House is a fitting site to celebrate Memorial Day since the building itself is nearly 200 years old. It was built in 1815 and survived many of the conflicts whose veterans we hold in memory and whose sacrifice we hold in highest honor, especially during this week of remembrance.

 

New Rye Church is located close to the Meeting House and it eventually absorbed the members of the “Christian Church” who worshipped at the Meeting House in the 1800s. There is also an historic connection between the Elwood O. Wells Post of the American Legion and the Meeting House since records indicate that one of the original pews in the Meeting House was purchased by Samuel and Hanover Wells, ancestors of Elwood Wells. Fortuitously, the Wells pew is one of those that survived a terrible fire in the 1980s. Elwood’s mother, Sophronia Yeaton Wells, was also the organist at New Rye Church for a number of years.

 

The Meeting House is located on Deerfield Road in Bear Brook State Park about a mile off Rte. 28. The public is invited to join in this Memorial Day Celebration, which will begin at 10 a.m.  Please call Rev. Jim Young at 736-9279 for more information or directions.
