The movie matinee at the Library on Wednesday,
January 30 is “Operation Finale.” Ben Kingsley stars as Adolf
Eichmann, the Nazi officer who masterminded the plans that sent
millions of Jews to their deaths. He fled to Argentina under
an assumed name after Germany’s collapse at the end of World War II.
He had been reported dead but Israeli Intelligence plans a secret
mission to infiltrate Argentina and capture him. The Israeli
agent and Eichmann engage in an intense cat-and-mouse game.
Don’t forget there is Bridge at the Library on
Mondays at 2:00. Play or learn to play. And there is
Mahjong at 10:15 on Tuesdays. Two pleasant ways to spend some time
on cold wintery days.

Letter
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and
Pittsfield,
This week, I presented two bills to the
committee on Health & Human Services. HB 284, which simply deleted
“on May 1” from the requirement to take a biennial inventory of
controlled drugs, aroused a great deal of interest from people who
were concerned about the federal requirement (within 2 years of the
previous inventory.) After a good deal of hallway conversation, I
managed to convince them that federal law still applied and the
organizations in question had so many requirements on controlled
drugs that simply eliminating the date would not jeopardize them. HB
113, which allowed applicants for mental health licenses to use
their existing licenses to reduce the amount of supervised training
required, also sparked interest. The hearing started late and was
recessed, and the various groups are trying to come up with better
language to accomplish this goal.
My committee heard HB 108, allowing a
charitable organization to sponsor bingo up to 16 days in a month,
without exceeding the current limit of of 120 games/year. HB 424, on
licenses for game operators, attempted to impose a no-compete zone
within 40 miles of the existing poker rooms. That left only a sliver
of northern Grafton county and most of Pittsburg available for new
games: I can’t support such a protectionist measure.
HB 247, updating the state building code, was
supported by everyone who actually uses building codes, but opposed
at length by people upset that the energy code was not updated as
well. HB 259, requiring any building inspector who pointed out a
code violation to reference the exact section of code (necessary to
find out how to fix the violation) was discussed without opposition.
