Birds Of Prey With Jane Kelly

 

Jane Kelly from On the Wing will present “Birds of Prey” at the Chesley Memorial Library on Thursday, June 22, at 6:00 p.m. The presentation is free and open to the public.  She will be accompanied by four of her raptors.  Together, they will offer a glimpse into the complex relationships between raptors and humans and the reasons why protection and rehabilitation are so important.

 

On the Wing is a raptor rehab center located in Epping.  The facility is dedicated to the rescue and care of injured raptors.  On The Wing is a part of an amazing team including: Veterinary Emergency and Surgery Hospital, NH Fish and Game, Animal Control Officers, Local and State Law Enforcement and the general public....together making a difference for wildlife.  Jane Kelly is a federal and state licensed rehabilitator, educator, and falconer, specializing in raptors. A little over seven years ago, she found 10 dead barred owls along the shoulder of RT 101 between Auburn and Hampton. It was a calling she couldn’t ignore and she decided to get involved to bridge the gap for wildlife through education and rehabilitation.  Her work has been featured in a variety of newspaper and magazine articles, radio interviews, and television appearances.

Strawberry Festival

 

That “berry-sweet” time of year has arrived, and on Saturday, June 24 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. the Northwood Congregational Church, UCC will be having their Annual Strawberry Festival and Outdoor Yard Sale. New this year is the Second Time Around Jewelry Table.

 

Start your day with a hearty breakfast of strawberry (or plain) pancakes and sausage, or stop by for a grilled hot dog or hamburger served with fresh potato salad and other tasty lunch fare between 11:00 and 2:00.  Strawberry smoothies, homemade strawberry shortcakes piled with whip cream and ice cream will be served all day long.  There will also be a Bake Sale offering creatively themed strawberry items, including pies (show up early, they sell quickly!), handmade in kitchens of the local chefs of our church!  Plenty of quarts of locally picked strawberries will also be on sale for you to take home for your own baking and canning.

 

You may also find a treasure (or two) at our outdoor Yard Sale under the big tent!

Letter
Open Letter to the Selectmen

 

I am concerned regarding your decision not to reappoint Steve Roy to the Conservation Commission. Mr. Roy has served exemplary for many years. During his tenure, the Commission has accomplished numerous projects that have and will continue to benefit the citizens of Northwood. Many of these successes were during Steve’s role as chairman. His leadership on the Commission is well-known statewide by other conservation commissions and nonprofit organizations that deal with land, water and natural resource protection.

 

Besides Mr. Roy’s years of volunteerism to the Town, he is also a long-time regulator for the NH Department of Environmental Services (DES). It is my understanding that the primary reason you refused to reappoint Mr. Roy was due to a complaint filed at DES regarding possible state violations by the Town under RSA 483-A at the Mary Waldron beach.

 

Although Mr. Roy is a resident of Northwood and a member of the Conservation Commission when this complaint was filed, he is also a state regulator that enforces environmental laws and regulations. Thus, a public official owes their loyalty to the rule of law. Mr. Roy may have allegiances to the town as a commission member, he is bound by state law and by ethics policies to report any type of possible violations to state environmental authorities.

 

I urge the Selectmen to reconsider reappointing Steve Roy to the Conservation Commission. He has been a valued commission member for many years and to deny him another term would send a terrible message to our citizens and our limited number of volunteers. That if you volunteer for the Town of Northwood and do a good job you may not get reappointed. Please put Northwood’s best interests first and reappoint Steve Roy.

 

Thank you for your public service and hopefully your reconsideration of this appointment.

 

Sincerely,
Jim Hadley
