Pause for a moment. Is there something you would like to do just for you? How about joining in a contest, going to a retreat, going to meet other people from NH, perhaps making a few new friends, or losing weight, while feeling guilt free.


If this is you, then perhaps TOPS is for you. We are a support group that has fun along the way. The dues, yes dues are very reasonable, the place is convenient, and we would like to have you stop in for a meeting first.

Letter


This is just a short note to thank everyone who helped out the victims of the tragic fire on Main Street in Pittsfield.


While I can’t thank every one on an individual level, because there were just too many people helping out, I can give a general overview. 


First and foremost, I would like to thank all of the people at Globe Manufacturing, LLC for all pulling together to help and support me.


Globe itself has become quite a multiracial workplace with people working there from all over the world, such as Turkey, Korea, and Romania to name just a few and there are more. I can assure you. I have gotten to witness the people there grow from general dislike and mistrust into more open people willing to learn about each other.


Sometimes this learning process can be difficult when you see them smiling, enjoying themselves and working together. I believe it is worth the risk and believe me, I know about that.


I would also like to thank the people at Bergeron Protective Clothing for their gift of a brand new and now very well used microwave as a welcome surprise. Also, I would like to thank people for their donations into the various donation spots around town.


Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank the Pittsfield Fire and Police Departments for their fine work throughout the incident. I know this seems like a long time when you are waiting for them, but it takes  time to assemble these people. You can’t wave a magic wand and they are there.


As a matter of fact, a burly Police Officer kicked in my door to warn me before I even knew the building was on fire. I think that is pretty good work.


So thank you and keep up the good work gentlemen and ladies.


Lastly, I think everything I have written is a good example of what America really is and can be, and it makes me proud to be a part of it. And let us not forget each other, for sometimes we all need a little extra help jut to get through another day.


Thank you all very much.
Sincerely yours,
Alpha Gauthier

 


 

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor:
I am writing in regards to using the Floral Park Cemetery as the location for setting off fireworks. I know that I am not alone when I voice my opinion on how disrespectful it is to our loved ones buried there.


During the Hot Air Balloon Rally, it was witnessed, just how bad the situation was. People driving vehicles over the plots, leaving soda/beer cans on top of gravestones among others that are too long to mention hers.


Although we all love to see the beautiful fireworks, the cemetery is not the place to do it. We would not and  do not allow people to treat the cemetery disrespectfully any other time of the year, so why is it allowed during the Balloon Rally weekend? Please, please find a new spot to set the fireworks off. There has to be a neutral place that can make us all happy. The cemetery is not the right place, period!


Respectfully,
Heidi Knight

Oh wow, what a great photo on last week’s paper. What wasn’t there was WHOSE garden that was. None other than Ruthi True on Upper City Road. Ruthi is such a stalwart to our communities, with her faithful, constant volunteering over the years. She not only manages the Out of Your Attic Thrift Shop on Route 28, but writes us all those fun and interesting articles giving us ideas on how to help each other, as well as save money during these tough times. Bravo Ruthi for all your gardening work and your community service!


Ms. Daryl B. Hoitt

This letter is in no way, shape, or form with disrespect to all readers or Martha Fife.  As a matter of fact, I stand behind her feelings but I believe that the truth should be said for her benefit and all of the kind folks of Pittsfield.  For those who don’t know me, I am the person who is in charge of the fireworks for the Balloon Rally in the cemetery for over 20 years.  If you go to the website http://jawsa.homestead.com/OurTown2.html everyone will see that all vehicles, foot traffic, and firework guns are on the roads only.  The only grounds we walk on are near the river and only the river.  Being a former Marine, I did two tours in Nam, I respect the dead.


There is no self enrichment here.  Speaking for myself, but there are many others, I work very hard to promote the Balloon Rally every year.  I work endlessly at my expense to bring the thousands of people here to Pittsfield.  This benefits all the kind people of Pittsfield, all the businesses that badly need the money to get by, and the Rotary who uses the money to reinvest into the town.  I work at this every day of the year to help Pittsfield and am now working on the show for 2010.


I have a close friend who is buried in Floral Park Cemetery.  He is a friend to all in Pittsfield, Senator George Freese, Jr., who gave me permission over 20 years ago to use the cemetery.  His wife and two boys, Gef and Rob Freese, say to me after every show, every year, “Thank you, Bob, because our dad is looking down from Heaven with a big smile and applauding.  Thank you.”  This brings me to say, our final resting place is with God.


Bob DePoutot of Northfield, NH and an ambassador for the Town of Pittsfield, NH, that I love.

 


 

Letter


Dear Pittsfield Residents:
Another cry for help on the watering of the hanging flower baskets throughout the downtown.


The baskets are something we should be proud of and don’t they look good right now?
Three two-person teams have done the watering so far, but now we have come up dry. We do have people without trucks who are ready to team up with a truck owner-driver.


If you can help, please call me so that this unique project can get through its 13th season and can aspire to blooming again in 2010.


John Lenaerts
