This Weekend’s LRPA After Dark Feature: 1940’s “His Girl
Friday”
Join Lakes Region Public Access Television at 10:30 p.m. this
Friday and Saturday night (August 31 & Sept. 1) for our “LRPA
After Dark” presentation of 1940’s romantic comedy “His Girl
Friday,” starring Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell and Ralph
Bellamy.
In
“His Girl Friday,” we meet ace reporter Hildy Johnson (Russell),
who resigned from her job at a top Chicago newspaper four months
ago – but try telling that to her former editor and husband
Walter Burns (Grant), who has been sending her telegrams night
and day, trying to get her to return to her post. She has gotten
a quickie divorce and is set to marry the perfectly nice but
awfully dull insurance salesman Bruce Baldwin (Bellamy) the very
next day. Walter, who admits he was a good boss but a bad
husband, doesn’t want to lose her, either as a reporter or as
the love of his life. When he learns of this development, Walter
pulls out all the stops to convince Hildy to write one last big
story – the story of her career! – about convicted murderer Earl
Williams, a man whose case was bungled by the local sheriff, and
who is scheduled to be executed within 24 hours. She
pursues the story while Walter finds more ways to impede the
wedding. As Walter works by Hildy’s side, she must figure out
what she really wants in life.
Adapted from the popular stage play “The Front Page,” and
directed by the legendary Howard Hawks, it’s no wonder that “His
Girl Friday” is considered to be a classic screwball comedy and
a masterpiece of mid-20th century filmmaking. It is one of the
first films to use fast-paced, overlapping dialogue,
particularly in scenes where the characters are wittily sparring
with one another. All of the well-cast actors give top-notch
performances, particularly Grant and Russell, who ad-libbed some
of their clever dialogue. New York Times critic Frank S. Nugent
called “’His Girl Friday’ … the maddest newspaper comedy
of our times.” What’s not to love? “Grab your popcorn and
join LRPA after dark for this romantic screwball classic from
the past.
Letter To The Editor
Back in 2011 my town was redistricted from NH-01 to NH-02.
Because my heart is still in NH-01, I am watching that
Democratic primary with a sense of distress: there are so many
candidates, and while there are some who would be good choices
in another time, but not in the midst of the environmental and
political disasters we are enduring, some of them are just OK,
and some of them are truly disgraceful. (Maura Sullivan and Levi
Sanders, are you listening? This citizen dislikes
carpetbaggers.)
But
there is one candidate in NH-01 I’d give my eyeteeth to vote for
(that’s an old folk saying), a scientist who has the skills, the
knowledge, the tenacity and the moral and ethical values we so
desperately need in that mess of a Congress we have in DC. That
is Mindi Messmer. She has a stellar record in the NH House, and
has proved over the past months that she can stick to her
principles: honesty, frugality, scientific rigor, and a drive to
help the people of NH and our country deal with the horrible
mess we have made of our environment.
I
can’t vote for her, she won’t be on my ballot. I plead with the
good people of the 1st NH Congressional District to put her on
the ballot for November and send this strong public servant to
be part of a Congress that will actually work for us.

option and will begin at 8 am at the track on the CBNA Campus.
(Free shirts for the first 125 entries.) Hope you can join us

Letter To The Editor
Vote
for Me
I
want to thank Grace Mattern for explaining that David Coursin
and I are running for different seats in the NH House - him to
represent only Northwood (District 1); me to represent District
32.
This is the seat most recently held by Yvonne Dean-Bailey, who
resigned this spring to, I hope, go on with her life. I say “I
hope” because while serving in the legislature is an honor, to
do it at the expense of finishing college and having a more
appropriate life in one’s early twenties always seemed to me to
be an unwise choice.
So
I will not be running against Yvonne but against Terry Roy of
Deerfield. I encourage you to check him out on social media.
My
decision to run again was prompted by a growing awareness that
to get something done - education funding and tax reform - it’s
better to be on the inside, casting a vote, than to be on the
outside.
Not
that I haven’t had some recent successes in Northwood:
advocating for full-day kindergarten; supporting increased
funding for milfoil management and prevention; encouraging the
adoption of a 5-person Select Board. But at the state policy
level, I want a vote.
And
I will use that vote to find ways to decrease local property
taxes.
The
best way to do that is to have the state pay more for education
at the local level. When the average cost of educating K-12
students is over $18,000/student, for the state to chip in
$3,600 and call it “adequate” is irresponsible at best and
obscene at worst.
So
if you want local property tax reduction, vote for me. And vote
for Chris Roundy for Senate 17. While John Reagan continues to,
literally, parade around as a “tax fighter,” he is in fact, a
tax shifter - from the state to the towns.

Candidate for Rockingham County
House District 32
Letter To The Editor
You
Don’t Have to Choose
Are
you confused by who Northwood residents can vote for in the
upcoming mid-term election on November 6? You’re not alone. In
the past week a couple of neighbors have asked if they have to
chose between David Coursin and Tom Chase for State Rep. You
don’t have to choose, as they’re running for two different
seats.
Northwood has two representatives to the NH House, from two
different districts — Rockingham Districts #1 and #32. David
Coursin is running for District #1, which includes only
Northwood. Tom Chase is running for District #32, which includes
Northwood, Deerfield, Nottingham and Candia. The incumbent for
District #1, Brian Stone, is being challenged in the Republican
primary by Joe McCaffrey. District #32 has no incumbent, as
Republican Yvonne Dean-Bailey resigned her seat in the spring.
Neither David Coursin nor Tom Chase have primary challengers.
So
those of you looking for progressive and people-centered change
in how Northwood is represented in Concord have the opportunity
to vote for two excellent candidates — David Coursin
(@DrDavidCoursin on Facebook) AND Tom Chase.

The
Opioid Crisis:
How
did it happen, how do we deal with it, and
how it affects everyone in NH.
Submitted By David Coursin, MD
Thursday 9/6, from 7p-8:30p, at the Northwood Community Center
at 135 Main St, I’ll be presenting information about the opioid
epidemic.
I
have treated addicted patients in the hospital and in the
community throughout my career. As a member of the investigative
committee for the NH Board of Medicine, I’ve dealt first hand
with the fall-out from inappropriate health care and with the
impact of prescribing rules. I’ve closely followed how this
crisis developed and the regulatory and legal factors that
allowed it to escalate.
I
understand what effective treatment looks like, and I know there
is hope for suffering individuals and frightened families when
that treatment is available. I’ll draw on all of this in a 30
minute talk intended to generate questions and discussion. The
talk is open to anyone interested in learning more about the
topic and in creating a civil dialogue about it.
This is the first in a series of discussion nights, each
centered on a specific topic. They are scheduled monthly, on the
1st and 3rd Thursdays nights from 7p-830p at the Community
Center. Email me at [email protected]
if you want to be notified about coming events. Look for public
announcements otherwise.
Join me and we’ll make it interesting.
