On Wednesday, September 5, the Epsom Library will be showing the film “The Book Club” at 1:30.

Monday, September 10 at 7:00 PM the library will host Stephen Hale of Open World Explorers who will present his program on “Backyard Birds.”  Mark your calendar for this interesting presentation.

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

Our primary election is coming up on (easy to remember) Sept. 11. Here are my recommendations for Republicans and independents who take a Republican ballot:

 

Congress: Lynne Blankenbeker. She’s a nurse, attorney, captain in the Navy reserves who has served overseas and former state rep. While the four main candidates are all quite good, an important consideration is a candidate’s ability to win the general election. Lynne is the only Republican in recent memory to be elected to the state house from Concord, proving her appeal to all voters.

 

Executive Council: Jane Cormier. Jane is from Hooksett and is also a former state rep. She is a very principled conservative. The executive council is our primary elective body to combat corruption and cronyism. The best person for that job is an outsider, like Jane, who will not be a rubber stamp for business as usual.

 

State Representative: James Allard. Jim is retired from his military career and has been an excellent selectman in Pittsfield. He’s easy to get along with and will be a dedicated state rep.

 

County Attorney: Paul Halvorsen. Both candidates are quite experienced. Paul works in our county, is friendly, even-tempered and has the endorsement of our excellent sheriff, Scott Hilliard.

 

Finally if you are from Epsom, please write me in for delegate. I simply forgot to sign up!

 

Yours,

Dan McGuire

Epsom

 


 

Epsom Food Pantry

 

Good Afternoon.  Well I certainly have been lax in writing my Pantry news, but hopefully I will do better in the next months.  As usual, we have been busy. The members have been enjoying our homegrown veggies and we could use more. Don’t forget us when you are harvesting your crop. Cal Preston has been so faithful with his donations. Thanks so much.  And thanks to the Lions Club and grand donation, much appreciated. Also, I want to say many, many thanks to Planet Aid Inc.  They are so generous and have sent us many donations over the years.  They are the folks with the yellow containers that we see around town collecting clothes, etc.

 

School will be starting soon, so when shopping, if you can pick up some  snacks suitable for the Epsom Central backpacks, as we like to give the school people a helping hand. 

 

To that gentleman who wishes to remain our mystery man, thanks for the eggs and milk.  You are very thoughtful and kind and we appreciate it. Until next time, enjoy what is left of summer.

Common Sense Gun Safety

Submitted By Miriam Cahill-Yeaton

 

Gun safety is an issue we need to work on. The second amendment does not guarantee everyone the right to carry a gun in all places.  That’s where common sense laws and regulations come in.  

 

I support universal background checks and closing “gun show” loopholes.  This is a simple way to keep some guns out of the hands of people who should not have them.  Private sales at gun shows and online or classified sales do not require background checks.  I am not anti-gun; I am pro-safety.

 

40% of Americans own a gun or live in a household with guns.  Our rate of murder/manslaughter is the highest in the developed world.  Every day 96 people die from gunshot wounds and 7 children and teens die in the US from gun violence. A 2016 study in the American Journal of Public Health found a strong relationship between higher levels of gun ownership in a state and higher firearm suicide rates for both sexes. 

 

Guns are often used to commit suicide. According to the Center for Disease Control, suicide by firearm accounts for nearly half of all suicides.  Of a total of 34,000 deaths by gun in 2014, approximately 21,000 were suicides and about 11,000 were homicides. A 48-hour waiting period for gun purchase leads to 51% fewer gun-related suicides.

 

We have a multifaceted problem that is going to require change in the way we think about guns.  It is a public health issue and will require education, thoughtful laws and regulations, and review of some of the violence so prevalent in our society today (games, movies, TV).  If we don’t at least try to work on this problem, then we’ve already failed. 

 

88% of Americans support background checks.  So why do our legislators vote against them?  Don’t they represent us?

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

I am Miriam Cahill-Yeaton from Epsom, NH. I am a democratic candidate for State Representative in Merrimack District 21 – Epsom and Pittsfield. I grew up poor, the oldest of 11 kids. I’m a retired nurse/nurse practitioner and Air Force officer. As a big sister, wife, mother, nurse, and grandmother, I learned to care for and about people. I’m a serious person and study/work hard at whatever I do.

 

Why should you vote for me? I am honest. I’m not a genius, but I’m smart enough to get the job done, have common sense, and a wide range of experience. I know how to study a problem and come up with solutions. I’ll work harder than anyone else for what I believe is right for the people of NH/Merrimack 21. 

 

I support universal healthcare and a woman’s right to choose what is right for her.

 

I support a person’s right to marry the person they love, regardless of gender. Liberty and justice for all.

 

I know about the drug problem in this state. I saw it in the Concord Hospital ER, where I worked when I retired, and we moved to back to Epsom.  

 

I have seen how difficult it is for seniors to pay rent/taxes. We need to preserve Medicare and Social Security.

 

I support a living wage for working people.

 

I believe in quality public education and know we need to change the way it is funded in this state. Your kids should not receive a second-class education because they live in a property-poor town.

 

I believe we must protect our kids with better gun laws. I do not want to take away anyone’s guns.        

 

Vote for me November 6, so I can continue my life’s work of caring for and about people. Thanks!

 

Miriam Cahill-Yeaton
