Letter To The Editor


To the good citizens of Pittsfield:
I’m sitting in my car at home, listening to NPR.
I just left a planning board meeting.  We met with representatives of various boards to discuss the planning board’s proposed zoning amendment. This is where the amendment gets tweaked, right back to the same old stuff.  This is probably where I lose interest for us on passing in our petitions to repeal the 1988 zoning ordinance.


I just heard a report from Kabul, Afghanistan.  When you want to start a business there, you simply go in and sign up and they issue you a license.  I’m figuring this being Pittsfield, NH USA, and if we vote yes to repeal zoning this coming spring, all we would need to do is put a sign up.


Dan Schroth Piermarocchi

PS: You know, speaking of signs, the one that says “Visit Historic Pittsfield” on Joe Carson’s old land near Route 28 and Route 107 junction, needs a new backing which with the Chambers help and Dave the sign guy, will be replaced.


I’ve been thinking of a new message - how about if we repeal zoning - it could say “Pittsfield Open For Business”
I’m going in.

NH The Beautiful, Inc. Awards Grant To BCEP Solid Waste, NH


John Dumais, NH Grocers Assoc./New Hampshire the Beautiful (NHtB) and Dennis Nesbitt, NHtB, presented BCEP Solid Waste a check for $3,300 to help purchase a Cross Belt Magnetic Separator. Also present were BCEP representatives Earl Weir, John Keane and Lisa Stevens as well as Marilyn Weir from Northeast Resource Recovery Assoc.(NRRA).


“The separator will be used to remove ferrous material from other material on our sort belt.  In particular, this equipment will allow BCEP to meet higher quality specifications allowing us to ship UBC directly to the end user, and the result of that are higher revenues for all towns using our facility”, said District Administrator, Earl Weir.  The separator will also reduce processing time as well as the amount of hand sorting currently being done.  NH the Beautiful applauds BCEP for moving ahead with their recycling program.


NH the Beautiful, Inc. (www.nhthebeautiful.org) is a private non-profit charitable trust founded in 1983 and supported by the soft drink, malt beverage and grocery industries of New Hampshire.  Offering municipal recycling grants (over $2.5 million) and signs, anti-litter programs, and technical assistance to recycling programs, NHtB is a unique organization that represents a voluntarily-funded alternative to expensive legislation intended to achieve the same end results”. New Hampshire the Beautiful, Inc. is now supporting the NRRA School Education Program (the CLUB). The Northeast Resource Recovery Association (www.nrra.net) is administrator for the New Hampshire the Beautiful programs.

16 Historic Pictures Of Pittsfield’s Schools Fill 2011 Calendar

 

 

Where were the four locations of this 1777 schoolhouse?  Who tried to buy it from the Town and transport it to another state?  This old photograph and fifteen others, each with a brief story, are reproduced in the Pittsfield Historical Society’s 2011 calendar available now.


From Pittsfield’s first school classes held in John Cram’s corn barn through the construction of Pittsfield’s Elementary School in 1989 take a tour of local school history via the new Pittsfield Historical Society calendar.  The calendar opens with a synopsis of the development of the village elementary schools, the rural one room school houses and the village high schools followed with pictures of the many school buildings.  A colorful description accompanies each.


Many of these former school buildings are still in use today.  See if you can figure out where they are and how they are now being used.


Obtain your calendar today for $10 at the Pittsfield Town Hall, Moo-veez Galore, or at the Suncook Valley Sun offices, along with other gift items such as books on Pittsfield’s history, historical Christmas ornaments, notecards and a Pittsfield afghan.  These and other wares will also be available at the Pittsfield Historical Society table at the Congregational Church Christmas Fair on December 4th.
