SOS Recovery Moves to New Location in Rochester
SOS Recovery Community Organization has a space of its own for the first time in its Lilac City history. According to SOS Director John Burns, the new 3,000-square-foot center at 14 Signal St. will allow the recovery organization to better serve its increasing client base. He said it will also allow them to start a new, more “efficient” chapter free of some of the different challenges that came along with sharing space with other groups in SOS’ previous Rochester location, the basement of First Church Congregational on South Main Street.
The new space, Burns said, will also allow SOS to serve as an even stronger spoke within the state’s interconnected hub-and-spoke Doorway model of recovery services and treatment providers. SOS has provided services in Rochester since it started utilizing FCC’s shared basement space in 2016.

Advance Pump & Filter's Pleadwell Recognized as Young Professional to Watch in Water Industry
Jake Pleadwell of Advance Pump & Filter was selected by WQP Magazine to be profiled in their current issue highlighting Young Professionals in the Water Industry for 2021.
According to Pleadwell, his parents have been in the water industry ever since he was born, but he was originally planning on being a marketer or a teacher. As time went on, he decided that he wanted to work in a field that helped people, that solved real world problems, was challenging both physically and intellectually, and that would present an opportunity for international involvement. Prior to entering the water industry, he was a paraprofessional in a special education program that worked with students who had a variety of mental and emotional conditions.
Pleadwell is looking forward to continuing to learn everything he can about the water treatment industry in order to help improve the lives of Advance Pump & Filter's customers through better water and to continue to grow the business in a way that is beneficial to his family and employees.

Lamprey Health Care Launches Mobile Health Van
After a much-anticipated wait, Lamprey Health Care’s Mobile Health Unit arrived Wednesday, March 10, 2021. The van project started in 2020 to remove barriers and expand healthcare services outside of their four walls.
One of the van’s first assignments will be collaborating with the Nashua Public Health Department and the Seacoast Public Health Network to administer the COVID-19 vaccine in the community. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded Lamprey Health Care $128,870 to purchase the van with funds from their Health Center Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. A Capture Care Community Mission Grant as well as a grant from the IDN-6 will subsidize costs related to the van’s functions.

Newmarket Celebrates Mill History
The building of the Newmarket mills began in 1823, as giant blocks of granite rose, stone by stone, along the banks of the Lamprey River. Almost 200 years later, the Newmarket Main Street Corporation (NMSC), a volunteer group dedicated to celebrating and preserving the town’s heritage, celebrates this industrial era with the installation of a large bronze plaque, a tribute to the hardworking history that shaped this riverside town.
Created from a meticulous pen-and-ink drawing by artist R.P. Hale of Concord, the plaque was a three-year endeavor that required multiple painstaking sketches and revisions. Hale’s prints of nearly a dozen historic Newmarket landmarks, including the Stone Church, the Engine House, the Newmarket Library, and more- churned out on his 18th-century printing press - were a popular feature in the Artisan Tent at the Newmarket Heritage Festival. The festival was a popular regional music and arts event produced by the NMSC that brought a celebration of history, community, and diversity to downtown Newmarket each fall during its 15-year run (2000-15).
