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!

 


 

Pittsfield HIstorical Show_and_Tell.jpg

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 [email protected] or visit facebook.com/pittsfieldplayers

 


 

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.

 

Art Morse
