Northwood
Congregational Church Service of Hope
On Sunday, December 4, 2011 at 4:00 pm Northwood
Congregational Church will hold a Service of Hope. All are welcome
to participate in this service which will acknowledge that the
Christmas holiday season can be a very difficult time for people who
have experienced some type of loss or grief. This grief can come in
many different forms – loss of a loved one, a beloved pet, a job,
good health, and other well beings.
During the service we will recognize that we can
move from a state of grief and despair to one of hope. God
understands our grief, anger, frustration and God is there to guide
us through our losses. His love for us is omnipresent and He will
make all things new – this is the promise of the resurrection.
The service will include a welcome by NCC clergy,
prayer, scripture readings or poems, silent reflections, candle
lightings, benediction / blessing, and silent closing.
All members of the community are welcome to join for
this important and timely service of hope.
Northwood Congregational Church is located at 881
First NH Turnpike (Route 4) in Northwood, NH just east of Coe Brown
Northwood Academy.
The snow/inclement weather date is Wednesday,
December 7, 2011 at 7:00 pm.
Sandown Central School Presented With New Flag
Flown
Over Washington D.C.
The students of the Sandown Central Elementary
School participated in a special assembly on September 9, 2011. Jan
Gilman, fourth grade teacher at the Sandown Central and Regent of
the Else Cilley Chapter, NSDAR invited Senator Barnes to present a
new flag for the school’s outdoor flagpole to Principal Douglas
Rolph. During the assembly, Mrs. Gilman gave a brief talk about the
flag and the significance of its colors. After the assembly, the
students created paper squares illustrating what the American flag,
patriotism or heroes meant to them. A paper quilt made from all the
squares is displayed in the school lunchroom.
Jean Lane, flag committee chair of the Else Cilley
Chapter, NSDAR, contacted Senator Jack Barnes earlier this summer to
acquire a flag, which had been flown over the Capitol in Washington
D.C. Senator Barnes’ office worked to acquire one. Senator Barnes
personally delivered the flag along with two certificates to Sandown
Central School and graciously participated in the assembly. Along
with Student Council President, Kiara Phair, he led the students in
the Pledge of Allegiance. Fifth grade students enjoyed seeing the
Senator, whom they had met during a field trip to the State House
last spring.
Letter To The Editor
So did you notice, pick through the offal to see
that no one is concerned about the one fact that is the most
important? Our kids are not getting educated. Don’t we care?
Frankly, not even the special needs children receive a good
education.
We spend more than any other country in the world in
educating our children (except Luxemburg) and yet our students now
rank very poor globally. It is so easy to just blame, lets say
unions, a big easy target. There are many other culprits including
parents, however, because of the loud voices of special interests ,
we are afraid to speak.
So, what have I said?
1. Special Education costs are robbing Regular
Education students of an adequate education.
2. It is a self feeding/promoting growth industry.
3. It lives in and promotes secrecy.
4. We overspent by $528,000 and nobody wants to
audit and examine why or how.
5. IEP’s are subjective.
6. Lack of foresight and good management is why.
7. In letter #1 I asked "how, without hurting
special needs students and without copious amounts of new taxation
that is just not there do we solve this dilemma". Talk, talk, talk.
I learned today that the "plan" that started this
opus was mistakenly put forward and has been abandoned. I believe
that I should and will leave it at that. Sorry.
It simply makes no difference to me whether you like
me or not. It does matter a great deal to me that you view me as
consistent. I feel that any big change, whether by the town or
school, should go before the registered voters of this town for
approval. If I believe in something enough, I will ask you up front
to agree to it, I will not slip it between the sheets.
