Letter To The Editor


Most would not disagree that it is heart-breaking to witness the horrific act of children being shot or of children being bullied by others on the grounds of our local schools. You wonder what type of person could do such a thing, what type of person could show such disregard for the human rights of another. And, how does it all start? You realize how fortunate you are that these harmful types of anti-social behavior have not yet infected your community. Regrettably, that calm is soon shattered with the realization that the deviant behavior has taken up residence within your town, spreading its cruelty onto your school grounds. Why do I make such allegations?


On Valentine’s Day, I went to pick my daughter up from Northwood Elementary School. With all the snow we’ve had, the parking area at the school has become quite condensed. The vehicles park as close to the building as they can but, through traffic is not possible given the conditions. I parked my vehicle in line with others and, behind those already in place. I went into the main office to notify the school office that I was there to pick up my daughter. While in the office, a woman came in and complained that a vehicle was blocking traffic. After she described the vehicle, I spoke up as the owner of that vehicle. The school officials were witness to the conversation. When we went out to the vehicle, we found the word “A**!” spelled out in capital letters on the side of my vehicle.


My daughter is in the third grade, capable of reading the foul message and, was very upset by the act. In fact, she cried the whole way home! The behavior we witness on the six o’clock news has taken residence in our town. This is how it starts.

More Constituent Meetings, Please


I am disappointed that, after such a major vote as the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, a purely symbolic gesture, Congressman Guinta only had one town hall meeting in the week he was in the district recently.  I did hear that he met with the 912 group in Rochester, which I believe is a Glenn Beck organization, but that was not posted on his public schedule.  I didn’t hear of any other public gatherings where he answered questions and explained what he was doing in DC.


I checked back at Carol Shea Porter’s schedule for the beginning of the 2010 session. She actually held three constituent meetings, town hall meetings, on the weekend of January 23-24, in Manchester, Conway and Epping.  Her first full week home in the district was the week of February 14th; she was working a much busier schedule in Washington DC than the new Republican-run House of Representatives has planned for this year.


I was hoping Mr. Guinta and his colleagues would find time in their shortened work schedule for more initiatives on jobs. I haven’t heard of a single legislative project from the Republicans that would help create work for the jobless.  I really would like to have a chance to talk to Mr. Guinta somewhere near my home and ask him about that.

Letter


Could someone from Coe Brown send out some numbers for the towns people, so we can see what we are really getting out of the elementary school? Like how many students per year are told to leave from the towns, including Northwood and statistics on the G.P.A. of our students compared to the other towns. Things like that.


Thank-you
Janet Delfuoco

Warrant Article For Proposed Accessory Apartments Amendment To Northwood Development Ordinance


The Northwood Planning Board has proposed only one amendment to the Development Ordinance this year.  On March 8th, voters will consider by ballot, whether or not to approve the granting of accessory apartments by special exception.  Approval by special exception means that certain conditions have to be met in order for the use to be permitted.  Those conditions are that the apartment have no more than one bedroom, not more than 700 square feet, that it be within or attached to an owner occupied single family residential unit, and that there be adequate septic system, parking and that the lot is at least 80,000 square feet in area and at least 150 feet of contiguous frontage on a state or town road.


The intention of this article is to address the needs of some families in the community by allowing them to have so-called “mother-in-law” apartments without need for a variance before the zoning board of adjustment.  It may also help retain the residential use of some of the larger farm houses that exist in town.


Copies of the proposed language are available at the town hall, Chesley Memorial Library, at the Northwood Post Office, or on the town website.

 


 

Letter To The Editor


I like to think of this as the “Tale of Two Teachers”. Our principal was talking about a teacher Tuesday night. He didn’t mention a name and no names are needed for my story.


We had a teacher and a half last year and cut down to one this year.  What a great teacher, no complaints, no whining.  Nope, she put her students first, works hard comes in a little early and leaves late if necessary. A couple of the School Board members actually clapped when he was done. Being curious I checked. It only gets better.  She is prepared, knows her students strengths and weaknesses, and my goodness she teaches her subject.


Then there is the other, you know the one that is always late in the morning and quite often beats the kids out the door at closing bell.  Wasn’t that her shopping at Hannafords during prep time. Nothing is never enough, so over worked and under-appreciated. So different. The one should be carried on our shoulders and the other, well, you know.  Sad, it really is, both these teachers always get the same, good or bad.  The same raise, the same benefits, or the same nothing.  What a stupid system.
Oh! Oh!  Did you see the NECAP results. Bad, bad, bad. Our school is broke and money won’t fix it.
