Letter To The Editor

 

The same issues that worry us (and often divide us) as a nation can be seen right here in NH. My list of concerns includes voting rights, public education, health care, healthy environment, civil rights, jobs and wages.  These are issues being debated right here in NH with laws being drafted and voted on – and, in turn, affecting our state and local communities, affecting you and me. On all of these issues, you and I have a chance to be heard, to have our concerns addressed, right here in NH. But we must speak, act, call, fax, text, write letters, sign petitions, show up at the statehouse (Concord is not far and most sessions are open to the public). At least we must get to know our elected officials, how they are voting, and what kinds of bills they are proposing. You don’t need to do it all, just pick one area of special concern to you. 

 

But if you do nothing else, please vote. And more important, be an informed voter. The 2018 mid-term elections are not that far away. Every single vote counts. Get ready. Begin now to understand where your representatives and senators stand on the issues you care about. Vote them out if they do not represent you and your community’s best interests and vote in those who do. Chances are you have a state representative living within a few miles of you. Talk to them, write to them.  Tell them what is important to you. To find your representative, their voting record, or to follow a bill in Concord, go to http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/ 

 

For weekly updates on what is happening in Concord, see the NH American Friends Service Committee’s newsletter: https://www.afsc.org/action/nh-state-house-watch

 

To ensure our representative democracy – “government of the people, by the people, for the people” – be informed. Then vote. Thank you.

The Capital Crime of Witchcraft

On Saturday, October 21 at 4pm at the Barnstead Town Hall there will be a presentation on “The Capital Crime of Witchcraft: What the Primary Sources Tell Us”. On first impression, the witchcraft trials of the Colonial era may seem to have been nothing but a free-for-all, fraught with hysterics. Margo Burns explores an array of prosecutions in seventeenth century New England, using facsimiles of primary source manuscripts, from first formal complaints to arrest warrants, indictments of formal charges to death warrants, and the reversals of attainder and rescinding of excommunications years after the fact; demonstrating how methodically and logically the Salem Court worked. This program focuses on the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 and 1693, when nineteen people were hanged and one crushed to death, but also examines a variety of other cases against women in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. This program is sponsored by the Oscar Foss Memorial Library and the Barnstead Historical Society with funding by NH Humanities.

 

Please call the library (269-3900) or visit our website (oscarfoss.org) for more information about any of our programs or events. There is always something happening at the Oscar Foss Memorial Library! Library hours are; Tuesday and Wednesday: 10am-6pm, Thursday and Friday: 12pm-8pm, Saturday: 10am-1pm, Sunday and Monday: closed.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the founding of North Country Studio Workshops (NCSW), the League of NH Craftsmen is presenting a multi-media exhibition of work by artists that have attended workshops over the years, many of whom are juried members of the League. Visitors will see a wide variety of handcrafted art, including sterling silver and beaded jewelry, clay and wood-fired stoneware, mixed media art and functional vessels, ash splint baskets, textile and found object wall hangings, silkscreened prints, and more. This exhibition is open to the public through December 22nd at the Gallery at League Headquarters, 49 South Main Street in Concord, NH. All items are available for purchase. 

 

“North Country Studio Workshops is honored to collaborate with the League of NH Craftsmen, giving participants from our workshops an opportunity to exhibit inspired and new works in the League’s beautiful gallery. This exhibit highlights what can happen when an artist is recharged by ideas and techniques within a community of like spirits,” said NCSW Executive Committee President Teresa Taylor.

 

“Our juried members who have participated in North Country Studio Workshops have taken their skills and creative approach to the next level,” said League Standards Manager Catherine Green. “The League is thrilled to be recognizing this wonderful education program and its commitment to helping artists and craftsmen explore, expand, and create.”
