Benefit Concert to Support New Mental Health Facility
submitted by Rev. Dr. John Mokkosian, New England Pastoral Institute
On Saturday, Amy Allen
November 19, at 7 p.m. at the Windham High School Auditorium, the New England Pastoral Institute is sponsoring a benefit concert to
help fund an important new mental health facility in Salem. The concert will feature the Windham Swing Band a gathering of professional musicians who will provide an evening of wonderful music to help celebrate the vision of a courageous member of the Institute’s staff. Tickets can be purchased on our website:
www.nepastoral.org On March 18, one of the Institute’s
psychotherapists, Amy Allen, MSW of Windham, suffered a life-changing tragedy. While driving on Route 101 her car struck a moose that had wandered onto the highway. The accident resulted in the loss of feeling and function in the lower half of her body and has brought a new focus to Amy’s professional life. The Boston area provided Amy with excellent treatment at world class medical facilities. However, following her release there was no follow-up care in the community to provide the next stage of emotional support services. Amy is now dedicating her clinical career to providing continuing quality mental health care for persons who are dependent on wheelchairs for their mobility. She is looking forward to returning to her practice at NEPI with renewed vigor and commitment to provide the support, education, encouragement, nurture and resources for persons whose injuries have been caused by accidents or military service. The New England Pastoral Institute is now expanding with plans to renovate a significant part of its facility to provide a state- of-the-art resource to address the emotional and spiritual needs of quadriplegic and paraplegic persons. This new community resource will be an important referral point for area hospitals that are
in need of post-discharge care for patients who are suffering from a variety of physical challenges as well as for paralyzed veterans returning from their tours of duty to our country. The resources required for this specific type of
renovation are costly and, while some of the initial and basic expenses will be covered by grants, the majority of the financial commitment must be met by public and private funding. The New England Pastoral Institute is a non-profit 501(c)3 community service agency that has been providing psychotherapy, consultation, education and crisis intervention services to southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts for the past 20 years. It has responded to the needs of schools, churches, physicians, attorneys, and hospitals for competent and ethical clinical services for persons of all ages. Now they are answering the call to provide these same clinical resources for the physically handicapped members of area communities. The dedicated clinical skills of Amy Allen, the unique physical resources of this new facility, and the ongoing commitment of NEPI to provide excellent psychotherapeutic services, all combine to offer this area’s first facility dedicated solely to the treatment, education, and support for physically challenged persons. The renovations will provide a totally handicap accessible suit that will include a private office for Amy and a large open space designed specifically for wheelchair accommodation. This space will be equipped with audio-
visual equipment and resources necessary to provide the wide range of services that will be offered.

House Republican Leaders Respond to Legislation to Move $26 Million into Rainy Day Fund
submitted by House Republican Office House Speaker William O’Brien (R-Mont
Vernon) and House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt (R-Salem) has offered the following statements in response to the House Rules Committee voting to allow Rep. Keith Murphy (R-Bedford) to introduce legislation to move any surplus from the last fiscal year into the state’s Rainy Day Fund. Currently, the Fund balance stands at just $9 million. House Speaker William O’Brien “Our Rainy Day Fund has been depleted to less than one-half of 1 percent of our annual state expenditures. The fiscally responsible decision is to take the unexpected surplus funds that we learned about last week and use them to shore up the Rainy Day Fund to an appropriate amount, so that our Treasurer can go to New York and push for a AAA bond rating, which would save us millions. Ideally, we’d like to see about 5 percent of annual state spending, or roughly $110 million, in the Rainy Day Fund, to stabilize and improve our
bond rating and leave us well prepared for any future economic downturn.” House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt “One of the top priority for House Republicans next session will be to improve upon New Hampshire’s bond rating. The Democrats cleaned out our Rainy Day Fund to support their spending excesses. Republicans intend to rebuild our reserves, because we know that’s how responsible government should operate. We are still amazed at how Governor Lynch can go from coming ‘hat-in-hand,’ begging the legislature to help in fill his budget deficit by raiding dedicated funds, to having a $26 million surplus. While we will move forward on legislation to put any surplus into the Rainy Day Fund, we will wait until the state audit is complete to see if this $26 million is real or an illusion. Our philosophy is, ‘Trust but verify.’”
