Seabrook Memorial Day
The Town of Seabrook turned out on a beautiful Sunday to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our Country, to preserve the freedom and liberty we hold dear. The Board of Selectmen would like to thank all who participated in the service, and the Parade. Special thanks to the American Legion for all that they do for Seabrook. God Bless America. The Memorial Service is attached below.
Kane Group Presentation on Future of Yankee Greyhound
The Kane Group, the prospective developer of the Yankee Greyhound facility, came in to explain their proposal to the Seabrook Board of Selectmen last week. I have attached that video to this posting for those that might have missed it. The Kane Group is also making a public presentation tonight, Tuesday May 26, at the track facility. The invitation from the Kane Group on tonight’s meeting is below:
We are hosting an informal informational meeting tomorrow evening (Tuesday May 26) at the racetrack site at 6:00 pm. We will have our experts and officials from Rand Whitney at the meeting. The event will be catered and is meant to be an opportunity for concerned or interested people to ask questions that might not be possible at a public hearing. We will also be presenting our master plan for the project and will be taking suggestions on that plan. We hope that anyone who has an interest in what we are proposing, for or against, will take the opportunity to stop by so that we can have the best possible outcome for all parties. Thank you.
Goodwill Comes to Seabrook
It was a pleasure to be able to join the folks at Goodwill, who recently had a Grand Opening for the new Seabrook store. The new store and donation center is at 21 Chevy Chase Road. The 16,500 square foot building features a convenient donation drive, polished concrete floors (which eliminates the need for harsh chemical cleaners), indoor and outdoor LED lights and large windows to reduce electricity use.
The store will feature a wide variety of donated goods as well as a limited selection of new items to create a complete shopping experience.
The Seabrook Goodwill store will employ more than 40 full and part time staff. Store and donation center hours are Monday through Saturday 9:00am – 9:00pm and Sunday 10:00am – 7:00pm.
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Forum
I had the opportunity to get by and take in some of the very important issues dealt with at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Forum put on by the Integrated Systems of Care. My thanks to Vic Maloney, Sandi Coyle, and Stephanie Wright, as well as all of the people good enough to come and make presentations and give their time and effort for such a worthwhile cause.

Seabrook Library Presentation: “The Creep of Surveillance”…
The Historical Society of Seabrook will proudly sponsor the NH Humanities Council program The Creep of Surveillance: From “Big Brother” to Mom and Dad on Thursday, April 16, 2015, at 6:30 pm at the Seabrook Library, 25 Liberty Lane, Seabrook, NH. The program is presented by David Mackey, Professor of Criminal Justice at Plymouth State University.
Technology has been used to monitor offenders, consumers, workers, students, and even children. This same technology has enabled law enforcement and other agents of social control to uncover a range of information and behavior that previously went undetected. This presentation explores the expanded use of technology for monitoring people’s compliance, performance, and even personal legitimacy. The legal, social, and ethical implications are also discussed.
The program is free and open to the public; light refreshments will be served. For more information, call the Seabrook Library at 474-2044.
