All are welcome to join us for this fun and informational community-based workshop on Saturday, October 1st from 9 am to 2 pm. You will need to bring work gloves, a hammer, a picnic lunch, water, and a lawn chair if you think you might want a place to sit before the benches are ready.

Flu Shot Clinic

 

The Rochester District Visiting Nurses will provide flu shots on Monday, October 3rd from 3-5 pm at the Northwood Town Hall. The cost of the shot is $30.00 and is free to anyone with Medicare Part B. They also now accept Medicare HMO. Please be sure to bring your Medicare card with you to the clinic.

 


 

Despite three straight Thursdays of rain, your Northwood Farmers Market vendors are still there with lots of great fall produce, and we will continue to be there Thursday afternoons until October 6. Then we’ll head indoors for Saturday markets in the Masonic Hall starting Saturday, October 15. Come out and support your local farmers.

 


 

Letter

 

Earlier this year, a fellow townsperson and I had a letter-to-the-editor exchange about Medicare in which he repeated the claim from Republican candidates last fall that the new healthcare law was cutting Medicare. This was in response to my letter about the Paul Ryan budget proposal which Frank Guinta, our congressman, voted for, in which Medicare for those under 55 would become a voucher program, and the healthcare law would be repealed, including those parts which benefit us seniors like the closing of the prescription donut hole, a change for which we can thank former Congresswoman Carol Shea Porter, a driving force to include this in the law.

 

I thought it might be good to provide an update on this issue, since many senior citizens were bamboozled into voting for Republicans last year by the claim that Medicare was being cut. The changes were actually the removal of the extra payments to private insurance companies for Medicare Advantage policies that cost us, the taxpayers, more for the same services that traditional Medicare provides at a lower cost.

 

And guess what? Nobody is losing their Medicare Advantage, and more people have signed up for those types of policies than the government even expected! Amazingly, even with the cuts to payments to the insurance companies, they are still offering the policies and people still like them enough to sign on.

 

Another GOP deception debunked. More information is available here: http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2011pres/09/20110915a.html.

Town Wide Yard Sale

Sellers And Buyers Needed!

 

The sixth graders, their teachers and parents of Northwood Elementary School are organizing a town-wide event Columbus Day Weekend to raise money for their science field trip to Merrowvista later this school year. Due to budget cutbacks, the school will not be able to fund this educational and fun trip that has become a tradition at our school. We are joining forces with Northwood and the surrounding communities to hold yard sales all over Northwood.

 

Here’s how it works for those in Northwood who want to have a yard sale: we put your name, address and days/hours of sale on a map and distribute that map to as many people in as many communities as possible. Your donation is only $10. You keep all the sales from your yard sale.

 

For those who love to shop yard sales: for the mere cost of $2, we will provide you with a detailed map of all the yard sales taking place that day. Space is Not limited, but our time is, so please call Julie Doiron at 942-7126 to place your address on the map or to purchase a map.

 

Orders for map space are due by Tuesday, October 4th. Maps will be sold up to and including the morning of the yard sale but preordering will insure you a copy. If you know one of our sixth graders, they will be able to help also. Thank you for supporting the children.

 


 

HLWC’s Fall Events

 

On September 6th, twelve members of the Harvey Lake Woman’s Club traveled to Derry for lunch at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant. Then we went to the Robert Frost Farm Museum in East Derry. A video of Frost reading his poetry and Leslie and four children acting them out was shown followed by a tour of his house. Many of the members were moved by childhood memories of their grandparents’ homes.

 

GFWC HLWC’s Annual Guest Night and Pot Luck Supper for spouses and friends will be held October 4, 2011, at 6 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall at the Northwood Congregational Church. Greeter will be Marie Bapple and the inspiration will be given by Janet Henry. There will be a 50/50 raffle. The evening entertainment will be provided by the CBNA Music Department.

 

On October 8th, Ginny Rogers, president, and Elaine Covey, vice president, will be attending GFWC NH Fall Field/Fall Rally in Exeter, NH, at Christ Church on Pine Street.

 

A workshop to make comfort pillows for cancer patients at Concord Hospital is scheduled for October 14th, 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

 

The Club will also be hosting GFWC NH Districts 1, 2, and 3 Fall Conference on October 29th, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Northwood Congregational Church.

 

The Club sponsors several activities during the year benefiting the community and individuals.

 

We welcome new members.

 


 

Watercross A Huge Success

 

The Northwood Crankpullers would like to take this time to Thank all who attended our 2011 Watercross and made it a huge success. It was great weather with lots of action and fun for everyone.

 

A special Thank you to Rochester Sports Center and Jim & John’s Small Engine Repair for their generous donations. This Year’s Antique Vintage Sled Contest Winner was Barry Heney from Bridgewater, MA whose sled was a 1974 Chaparral SSX 400. He also generously donated his winnings back to the club and the Doug Hayes fundraiser…kudos to you Barry!

 

These are our first class winners only – Scott Phiney, Luke Samperi, Brian Lessard, Jr, Bryan Romano, Tim Garcynski, Ben Bickford, Kurt Fitch, Eric Wojtas, Chris Ferragamo, David McLean, Adam McLean, Zach Sweet and Conor Fitts. For a complete listing of winners and categories please see our website www.northwoodcrankpullers.com.

 

A lot of time and effort was put into this event and we hope that everyone truly enjoyed it. The "guys" did a great job with the food as usual, so if you missed it this year please plan on joining us next year for our 2012 Annual Water Cross.

 

We will also be hosting a couple of Vintage Snowmobile Races and a dinner dance this winter, so keep an eye out for our advertisements for those events as well. Remember, we are always looking for new members and please do not forget to thank the landowners who allow our club to maintain trail systems that cross their property. Without them this enjoyable winter sport would not exist in our town.
