TOPS News
Submitted By Terrie Azotea
At Tops this past week our KOPS best loser was Peggy and our TOPS
best loser was Beth. Keep up the good work ladies! Also, Kudos to
those who were runners up.
We talked about our upcoming KOPS Honor Society and went over our
TOPS manual. We talked about ways to keep in touch with other TOPS
members and how we can support each other during weight loss.
We are a non-profit support weight loss program that encourages each
other. If anyone would like to come and listen in on a meeting, we
welcome new faces.
It’s the time of year that is great for getting out there and taking
a hike without the summer heat, keep busy in our yards cleaning up,
or take a bike ride. There is always something to do to stay active
and if you cannot get outside, then inside is busy just as well with
fall cleaning.
Enjoy the smells of the fall and get outside and look at the
beautiful colors. My favorite thing to do is walking in the leaves
on a crisp fall morning.
We meet on Tuesday nights at the Berakah on Fairview Rd. in
Pittsfield at 5:30 for weigh-in and at 6:30 for our weekly meeting.
Any questions please call Janis White at 603-491-5532 or Claire Coll
at 603-435-7271. Hope everyone has a great week and see you all
lighter next week!
The Pittsfield Historical Society is hosting a Show and Tell on
Thursday, October 9th at 7 p.m., just like the activity that you may
have loved or dreaded in Grade School! Join the Society as we pay
homage to the old school days and bring item(s) to our meeting that
you would like to “show” and “tell” about. It could be something
rare, common, old or new. It is even better if the item has some
local history. We promise an evening of fun enjoying one another’s
treasures. The Show and Tell will take place at the Society’s
headquarters on 13 Elm Street in Pittsfield. We hope to see you
there!
Tuckermans At 9
Fall is back and so is Tuckermans at 9, bringing their rockin’ a
cappella to the Scenic Theater in Pittsfield, October 11.
“2014 is our tenth anniversary year and we’ve been busy since the
summer… some new material, new on-stage bits,” says group founder
Mark Miller of Dover, NH. “At the October shows, we plan to roll out
‘When Will I Be Loved’, the Everly Brothers tune also performed by
everyone from Miranda Lambert to Bruce Springsteen to, perhaps most
famously, Linda Ronstadt. And we’re reaching way back into the
proverbial “stax of wax” with Bobby Helms’ ‘My Special Angel’.” Also
in the Tuckermans at 9 pipeline is Terence Trent D’Arby’s sultry 80s
ballad, “Sign Your Name (Across My Heart)”.
Dubbed “T9” by fans, Tuckermans at 9 performs well-known pop, rock,
blues, and light jazz, mostly from the 1960s to today, in
contemporary a cappella style. Voices make all the music, including
what sounds like brass, electric guitars, or drums. No instruments
or pre-recorded instrumental tracks are ever used. “T9 is more a
show than a concert,” adds Miller. “We have a lot of fun on stage
and it’s contagious for the audience.”
Rounding out the group’s roster, all from New Hampshire, are soprano
Ashley Gove (Nashua), altos Kam Damtoft (Durham) and Fran Lipe (New
Durham), tenors Shay Willard (Barrington) and Walt Porter
(Brentwood), bass Bill Hersman (Durham), and vocal percussionist Tim
Bull (Hampton). Sound technicians are Tony Berke (Exeter) and Kevin
Consaul (Nashua).
Tickets: $12 at Jitters Cafe, 44 Main Street,
Pittsfield, NH, and at the door. Cash or check only. Or reserve at
(603) 435-8852. More info: email

Be A Part Of South Pacific As It Heats Up The Scenic!
The Pittsfield Players present South Pacific, your favorite Rogers &
Hammerstein musical this November, Friday & Saturday nights November
7, 8, 14 and 15 at 7:30 PM and Sunday Matinee, November 9 at 2PM.
Maye Hart is aboard this production as director, while Meggin Dail
and Carol Neveux co-produce. Our famous names and talent cast list
include; Catherine Martinez as Ensign Nellie Forbush and Angelo
Gentile as Emile de Beque. Faith and Spencer Griffin will play
Ngana, Emile’s daughter and Jerome, his son; Lena Luongo will appear
as Juliette, Emile’s native servant; Gerri Casey will play the role
of Bloody Mary, with Shaima Al Hammadi as Liat, her daughter. Jen
Pickard will play Bloody Mary’s assistant, and Daniel Scheys will
take the role of Luther Billis, a sailor who knows how to make a
buck even on an island in the middle of a war. Bill Schultz will
play Carpenters’ Mate 2nd Class George Watts, aka Stewpot, and
Turner Jennings will play The Professor, a sailor. Kevin Kennedy has
the part of Lt. Joseph Cable, US Marines, with Nathan Strong as
Capt. George Brackett, US Navy, Mike Hobson as Cmdr. William
Harbison, US Navy, and Joel Dail as navy pilot Lt. Buzz Adams.
Yeoman Herbert Quale, a sailor, will be played by Daren Brooks,
Radio Oerator McCafferty will be played by Caleb Molloy, and Marty
Gray and Keifer Archambault are rounding out the sailors, Seabees
and Marines. Head Nurse Lt. Genevieve Marshall will be played by
Lorraine LePage, with Cindi Bell as Ensign Dinah Murphy, Vicki
Watson as Ensign Janet McGregor and Alex Keyes, Ashley Pence, Ashley
Connor and Elisha Griffin as nurse ensigns. French Island
schoolgirls will be played by Jaden Beattie, Riley Kennedy, Halah
Abdelwahid, Sarah May Schultz, and Emma Cox. Gay-Ann Cooney will
appear as a French Nun. We still need five or six more sailors,
marines and Seabees.
The Players first presented South Pacific in 1983, under the
direction of founder Roland Charron, and this revival promises to be
every bit as good as that first show. South Pacific tells the story
of nurse Nellie Forbush who is stationed on an island in the Pacific
during World War II. She is falling in love with a Frenchman, Emile
de Beque, who is a local plantation owner. Lt. Joseph Cable, a
marine, has been assigned a special detail on the island, and he
meets Bloody Mary, a local island merchant, who introduces him to
her daughter, Liat. Will these romances last in spite of the war
surrounding them?
Rehearsals have begun for this revival and The Players are looking
forward to presenting another fabulous musical presentation for our
audience. Tickets, which will go on sale in October, will be $17 per
person.
The show is choreographed by Dee Dee Pitcher, with Doris George and
Josh Crowell as stage managers, costumes by Valerie Eaton, set and
lighting design by Jim Hart, set construction by Dick Colman, and
Claire Wilkens will be house manager.
If you are interested in joining the cast please call Maye Hart at
736-9563.

Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor,
Might I undertake to comfort Mr. Miskoe in his time of grave
concern. I contend that the only monumental divide is his arguing
about “fence types” and “maintenance trustees,” I think they are
very much alike. However, not being a trustee, I can only explain
how this “fence type” thinks.
The replacement of the old fence is a one time occurrence in my
lifetime. It represents a one time solution. Therefore, I am willing
to make a donation to have a new fence put up. I would not call it a
“spiffy” new fence, but rather a prideful new fence. It shows that I
care about the appearance of my town. It shows my respect for my
loved ones, family, friends and heroes that have Floral Park as
their final resting place. In the long run, I believe that the fence
will be a benefit to the maintenance of the cemetery.
As for the annual maintenance of Floral Park, a long term solution
needs to be found. I don’t believe that donations should or could
sustain the maintenance.
And Ms. Richardson has every right to be “delighted” that the fund
raising to erect a portion of new fence have been successful. She
should be commended for her willingness to continue this project.
As a taxpayer and still alive, I have received an intrinsic benefit
from the new fence.
