Special Board of Aldermen 12-21-2020 Page 10
And | can’t see how it would be possible to do it when | look at those numbers every day and | see the
clientele that are positive with COVID, | see it on a daily basis and | can tell you it is not the same at all.
And | get referrals from here, all the way, you know, | take every referral for New Hampshire for
Greenbriar Health Care, so | see them.
So yeah, | have two jobs but the people | work with at Billiards, where does that leave them? Where
does that leave anybody with a small business? It leaves them broke and struggling for help. So | really
implore you to vote no.
President Wilshire
Thank you. Tanya Chevez?
Tanya Chevez Hi.
President Wilshire
Your name and address for the record please?
Tanya Chevez Ok, my name is Tanya Chevez and | live at 28 Prescott Street. And | just would like to
show support and stand by the job | work at which is at Boston Billiard Club. And | would like to stand
by them because we have taken precautions so seriously and | just want to vote no, because | will be
one of the people you know like will be like affected and stuff and | don’t want to see my friends getting
affected, you know, my family, they are like my family. And you know it is going to suck, it’s going to
suck, you know. And Nashua is so great but this curfew is going to mess a lot of people up and | just
want to show my support with that. Thank you.
President Wilshire
Thank you, Tanya. Charles Cappetta?
Charles Cappetta Yes, good evening, President Wilshire, | am a member of the Board of Health at 2300
Southwood Drive. | wanted to know if | — | am going to read a part of my letter | wanted to send to you
later, if | could do so tonight to send after the meeting, with your permission.
President Wilshire
Sure, you can.
Charles Cappetta Yes, thank you. Well good evening everyone, my name is Chuck Cappetta and | am
honored to serve as a Member of the Nashua Board of Health for the past 6 years and a full time
pediatrician here in Nashua for the past 27. | just want to state a few things, I’m not going to read my
whole speech because everyone has been so wonderful in your talking tonight and | love the candor
and the honesty.
So | am going to begin my remarks by stating for the record this has not been an easy discussion for the
Board of Health. And to frame our efforts for those who haven't been part of the past discussion, we are
not the Board of Labor, we are not the Board of Commerce or Trade. So where we started this
education/prevention message emanated from our roles as Board of Health Members. As medical
professionals are mission is straight forward and our only agenda is short and sweet; how can we
maintain the best possible outcomes of good health for all those around us in our collective community,
both young and old, while advocating for strategies or solutions that may be able to minimize sickness
and maximize disease prevention. That’s the definition of public health.
