Letter To The Editor

 

I am deeply concerned about the information we are receiving about Northern Pass and so went to web site for Deerfield, http://www.northernpass.us/deerfield-nh.htm

 

Most interesting is the statement by Lisa Wolford of the Deerfield Planning Board that she had sent letters to all 70 abutters of the power lines.  Further that people voted against Northern Pass for our community but I wonder how many voting against the project know that the taxes to be paid by our highest tax payer would reduce their taxes by about $1.50 per thousand or $450 per 300 hundred thousand of assessed value.

 

While I am concerned about the height causing view problems can they be any worse than the present towers and lines?  What I am more looking at is we will get natural power without burning coal, oil or other products and save our air quality. If you have Asthma in family that should be just as much a concern.  I am further amazed that many say NH won’t benefit but since all electricity going to a central grid can be sold to state most in need at any one time I see a benefit albeit not all ours.

 

I would like to see more before the hysteria of the group think causes our elected officials to turn away that which could benefit society by cleaner air.

 

Admittedly there are costs to most industry and the cost of high power lines may just be our less than beneficial societal cost to have enough electricity for the population.  But at least in saving the air pollution that those with children with asthma or other breathing problems will be safer.

Neil English, A Complete Basket Case 

 Northwood Historical brown_ash_and_sweet_grass_basket.jpg

The Northwood Historical Society will be hosting a harvest supper and program on November 12th at the Community Hall in the Northwood narrows.  The Program will be given by Neil English of Epsom on the ash splint basket making traditions of the Wabanaki tribes of Maine and the Canadian Maritimes which include Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet and Mikmaq tribes.

 

Neil’s Interest in the basket making of these tribes stems from the fact that his Great Grandfather, Everett Scott was a Penobscot Indian. Neil’s “collection” is constantly growing and includes examples from each of the four tribes. Some of the baskets date back to 1835.  Neil will guide you on the trail of the brown ash and sweet grass basket, the utilitarian feather basket, on to baskets that hold a single sewing thimble, and to fancy Victorian styles. He will discuss how the craft declined in the 1940’s but made a come back in the 1970’s. Come listen to this great local speaker.

 

The Harvest supper will be potluck and begin at 6:00pm. Please bring your own utensils and plate. Drinks will be provided. The program will begin at 7:00.  See you there.

Letter To The Editor

 REPORT CARD

To the Editor,

I’d like to opine on some issues specific to Northwood School. It’s easy to harp, however we have reached a point where improvements are being made and you should know that too. These are “my” opinions.

 

* The SAU. We have a new Superintendent, Dr. Bob Gadomski, Special Education Director Scott Reuning and Business Administrator Marjorie Whitmore. Without singling out anyone except to say that Dr. Bob seems to know that everything, correctly, comes from the top, this new Administration has made remarkable and positive changes. Energy! Great start guys.

 

 Studies. We have a new SAU Management Study that is being implemented and a great help. Shortly we will have the results of a comprehensive Special Education Audit that will give us more help.

 

* The Budget. It’s not quite finished but is substantially reduced and honest.

  

* Teacher and support staff contracts are ongoing and we expect to bring approvable ones to you in March.

 

* 6 teacher retirements. We saved more than expected, 91K the first year. That’s allowing us to fix some safety issues and purchase needed items. A  party was held for those six with about 70 attendees. Great fun!

 

* Education. No specifics but there is a new “feel” to our school.

 

 A better working School Board, a vastly improved SAU and in Principal Hartford’s opinion the best school start up since he has been here are all part of it. Attitude! We are getting there.

 

A budget, a support staff and teacher contract that you will approve are goals for this year. Technology is an area that we need your help on. Without hardware, software and training our students will not be able to keep up with their peers here in NH, never mind the US or World.

 

Thanks for your continued support,

Tim Jandebeur,

Northwood
