The December meeting of the Seabrook Happy Seniors was held at the Community Center on Wednesday the first. The meeting was opened by the President Brenda Donahue at five o'clock with a salute to the Flag,followed by Chaplin Muriel Maccarone's prayer and a moment of silence for Frances Brown.

There was no old or new business- so we closed the meeting and enjoyed sandwiches, cake, coffee, punch catered by Ida Mae's and her staff. Many gifts were raffled and a good time was had by all. Entertainment was by Scott Andrews and he had many feet tapping to his music.

FIRST UNITARIAN SOCIETY OF EXETER
The First Unitarian Society of Exeter, 12 Elm Street, will switch to two regular services on Sundays, at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., effective Jan. 9.

The new schedule went off without a hitch and with plenty of room for everybody.  Approximate attendance was 60 at the 9 a.m. service and 90 at the 11 a.m. service. The two-service total of 150 was well above recent Sunday attendance which has been averaging 110.
      
Membership at the Unitarian church has risen annually by 15% over the past five years, which increasingly resulted in „standing room only”for late arrivals” ... until Sunday‚s two-service switch.  

The First Unitarian Society is celebrating its 150th anniversary.  For further information about services and activities, please call 603-772-4002.

THE OTHER SIDE-
a monthly editorial on the current issues.
Here we are a brand new year with the same old problems.  It’s time for some new solutions. Let’s recap a few things that never got addressed. 

Whatever happened to the code of ethics? It was said that there was a code of ethics in the charter. I couldn’t find one and I’ve read it more than once. I believe that this issue is very important.  The last code of ethics was to be an example for all boards and public officials. It was to give guidance to the various boards in their dealings with other boards to give continuity to all. Without this code there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY!! What are the powers in this town afraid of, what kind of ethics do they have?  By not doing anything on this issue they are not setting good examples of leadership. Is the board of Selectmen going to keep ignoring this, what are the plans?

What ever happened to the warrant article that said ALL employees are to be drug tested?  It was stated that they would be looking into it.  I have come to understand that the board of selectmen has let employees drop their CDL certification. I believe the job requirements for most of the DPW employees is to have CDL certification. It is state mandate for the CDL holders to have drug testing. When this certification is dropped one doesn’t have to be drug tested. What is this Board of Selectmen trying to do? What would happen if all the DPW employees dropped their certifications? The snow wouldn’t be plowed; recycles wouldn’t be picked up etc.  The jobs the employees were hired for couldn’t be done. The towns' people said they want drug testing, and for all the employees. Now there are less employees being tested. 

Several committees have fallen by the wayside. What happened to the Cable Committee?
Is the still there still such a thing? The Channel 22 committee was suppose to be the link to having regulations and guidelines for town cable channel information.  We haven’t heard much from the Water & Sewer Supervisory committee, the meetings have not been on 22 nor has any of the other public meetings of various committees.

What worries me most is the direction the town of Seabrook is headed; we keep taking steps backwards. The town is never going to be like it used to be. It’s growing and has been growing fast.  We need leadership in office that will give good direction and back up our managers in doing their job.  We need to be lead forward and to be not pushed backwards.  We need leadership that will listen to the majority of the people not just the select few.

ON SALE NOW
An Eight-Generation Genealogy of The Eatons of Salisbury and Haverhill, Massachusetts -This eight-generation genealogy of the Eaton line begins with the immigrant John Eaton and his wife Anne, who first established themselves in the new grant of Salisbury, Massachusetts, in 1640.  The Rev. William H. Eaton (1818-1896) designed this work as an extension of his fine four-generation treatment of this line, published in the 1880s. He died, however, well before its completion. The old manuscript was found, modernized, and completed by Philip E. Converse. The genealogy is patrilineal, and covers some ninth-generation Eatons who lived the bulk of their lives before 1850. One long appendix attempts to identify all Eatons (not only from John and Anne) listed in the Federal Censuses from 1790 to 1850 in Northern New England, or the states of ME, NH, and VT.
