Letter To The Editor

 

To the good citizens of Pittsfield:

You ever get a neighbor down the road a mile that doesn’t like your politics? The only thing he has on me is that I try to sell a few tornado-wood benches off my front yard.

 

So he gets the new Building Inspector and the Select Board to send me a letter telling me I need a variance for retail sales up in my neck of the woods. They set me up for a meeting with the new Select Board.

 

Here is my response: my conscience will not allow me to surrender my land to the Zoning Board. I have seen too many dreams die there. Do you know that motto on my license plate "Live Free Or Die"? Well, this too is my feeling.

 

So, either wait until the benches are gone, or they rot, or kill me. I’m not a slave and I don’t follow orders very well.

 

Dan Schroth Piermarocchi

Dear Pittsfield and Area wide readers:

The Community Action Program (CAP) has established a Volunteer Driver Program. This augments existing CAP transportation for aged and disabled citizens as well as other volunteer driver programs throughout the Merrimack and Belknap Counties. It is a challenge for these residents to obtain reliable transportation. Volunteer drivers provide door-to-door service as well as feeder assistance to public transportation.

 

If you have a desire to help people and:

• Have a valid NH driver’s license and auto insurance.

• Are over 21 years old.

• Own a dependable vehicle.

 

The Volunteer Driver Program needs you. You can set your own hours and take as few or as many trips as you’d like. You get reimbursed for mileage.

 

If interest, contact Susan Jutras, Volunteer Driver Coordinator at 603 224-8043 or email [email protected] to fill out an application.

 

You must be 60 years old or older, or have disabilities to qualify for a ride. Rides are provided to medical appointments, barber or beauty shop, shopping, bank, nursing home, and hospice for visiting, volunteer or work location, and entertainment.

 

Contact CAP dispatch at 603-225-1989 or email [email protected] to fill out an intake form.

 

Sincerely,

Ted Mitchell

 


 

Letter

 

To the citizens of Pittsfield:

According to Ms. Linda Small’s letter of March 7, 2012, one would get the impression that she knows how to run our Police Department. Anyone who deals with numbers on a spreadsheet knows that numbers do not tell the whole story. This responsibility rests with Chief Robert Wharem (who is doing an effective job wearing all the different hats on a daily basis). How would she like someone else to walk in, look at her spread sheets and tell her how she could do a better job?

 

Perhaps Ms. Small needs to participate in three eight-hour shifts in a patrol car to include court hearings, issuing summons, special detail, and so forth to get an idea of how it feels to be an overly demanded and underpaid civil servant.

 

Sincerely,

Merrill Vaughan

Pittsfield

In addition of 750 hours of education in school, she has received additional training and guidance from Deb Godin, LMT at Natural Choice Therapeutic Massage, in Pittsfield. She opened Lighthouse Therapeutic Massage in 2010. Nathalie lives in Center Barnstead with her children and husband Dave, where they are leaders of the Center Barnstead Christian Church Youth Group.

Pittsfield Time Capsule 2062

 

On March 15, 2012, 7:00 pm, the Pittsfield Historical Society will be presenting a brief history of time capsules and creating one of their own. Community members are encouraged to bring small items of archeological interest to contribute to our 12"x11"x9" waterproof, fireproof, time capsule to be locked and stored for the next fifty years.

 

Historians suggest that items which describe the daily lives of the people who created them greatly increase the value of the time capsule. They might include items relative to time, technology, money, photography, personal items, etc. Be creative. What will interest the community of 2062?

 

Come and see what others bring.

 

Please call Mark Wallace at 435-8622 if you have any questions.

 


 

"Break A Leg" And "The Show Must Go On" Take On A Whole New Meaning For The Pittsfield Players’ Production Of "Proof"

Submitted By Meggin Dail

Pittsfield Players MegginA.jpg

Meggin Dail assumes the role of Claire in The Pittsfield Players’ production of "Proof"

 

If you’re familiar with theatre at all, you’re familiar with the phrase "break a leg." If you’re not, this seemingly cruel wish is actually a phrase of good luck to an actor/actress about to embark on the journey of live theatre’s opening night. Unfortunately for the cast of "Proof," this blessing became a curse.

 

Cindi Bell, originally the actress assuming the role of Claire, Catherine’s older sister in the Pittsfield Players’ production of "Proof," was hit by a car while crossing the street a little over a week ago and while she did not incur catastrophic injuries, she was told by her doctor to remain off her feet for the next three weeks. Three weeks, the exact amount of time before "Proof" opens.

 

Director Mal Cameron admittedly freaked for a minute, or even a couple of days. The cast was devastated to hear of Cindi’s injuries and the news she would not be able to return to the show. Things were just starting to click. The cast was off book. The set was being built. Lighting was in the works and now they didn’t know if they could even bring the show to fruition.

 

"The Show Must Go On," also a very popular theatre colloquialism, refers to come hell or high water, the stage is set and the production must be performed. I, personally, have witnessed a show going on through power outages, serious illness, harsh weather conditions, broken furniture, missing actors mid-scene and, similar to what’s happened here; the news an actor cannot continue in his role and a replacement must be found.

 

Lines were cast to fish in the proverbial community theatre sea in hopes of turning up someone who could play Cindi’s role, Claire, learning the lines in a mere three weeks. The role of Claire is described as the attractive, stylish older sister. Through reading the script, however, one also notes the role of Claire indicates she’s a bit of a control freak and, at times, annoying and kind of a witch. My phone rang.

 

Therefore, I personally invite you to watch me sink or swim March 23 through March 31. I have no doubt that my fellow cast members will wow you with their own performances. Simka Ellis as Catherine, puts forth a truly convincing picture of a young woman on the brink of madness. Dan Scheys, as Harold Dobbs, exudes the shy and clumsy romantic mathematician as his character name implies and Mike Hobson, as Robert, the girls’ father, is a roller coaster ride of emotion as he sorts out his personality, balancing between genius and dementia.

 

"Proof," the Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning drama will be hitting the Scenic Stage in just a few weeks. There is some strong language in the show which lends to its hard-hitting points driven home.

 

Tickets for this show are Not available through the Pittsfield Players website but only at the door the night of the show Or by calling the box office at 435-8852.

 


 

TOPS News

Believe it or not, the year has flown by and we had to elect officers at our last meeting. That went very well and we will be seeing a couple of new faces on our board. Congratulations.

 

We have our up coming banquet and that should be a good night. It’s always nice to have get-togethers. We ended our contest for our Report Cards and we had 3 winners. Again, I say congratulations to those who won. Good Work.

 

It’s so hard to stay on track and keep up with our journals and the exercise is also important. This time of year we get the fever to want to get outside. The 65 degree weather is awesome. I went downtown for my walk and I saw all kinds of people out walking. Soon enough we will be walking on our Tuesday nights and I can’t wait for that.

 

I got out playing in my greenhouse; getting it ready for my plants. I cannot wait to see those little plants grow and produce fresh veggies. Then we can make all those low calorie salads and not spend a fortune on them in the supermarket. Fresh veggies are so tasty and can be used in so many recipes.

 

If anyone would like to join us, we meet on Tuesday nights at the St. Stephen’s church in Pittsfield at 5:30 for weigh in and 6:30 for our meeting. We always have a good time and we try to encourage each other on our weight loss journey.

 

Please call Laurel Tiede at 269-8721 or Pat Smith at 435-5333. They would love to answer any questions you might have.

 

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm" (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

 

Hope everyone has a great week and see you lighter!
