Letter
Recently the Northwood School Board going over budgets was shown the
default budget with unreal numbers. Board members questioned the
default numbers and the Superintendent said, “Nobody checks the
default.”
The
reason for that is the faulty legislation which puts the two boards
in charge of making the default budget to be approved or checked by
no one. Our legislature who wrote the laws didn’t
provide for any checks on the Default Budget, even the Budget
Committee has no say over it.
The law
needs to be changed but for now citizens have the option of
circulating a petition R.S.A. 40-14-b, which if voted, allows the
town’s budget committee to make up the default budget. Who better
than the budget committee who ask the questions and understand the
budgets of the town and school.
I will
circulate Deerfield’s petition and am willing to share the petition
with anyone asking.
Sincerely
Harriet

for the Holidays
It’s
that magical time of year, when we wonder both what Santa will be
bringing us and how we are going to pay our semi-annual real estate
tax bill.
Almost
a century ago, Rose Wilder Lane, daughter of “Little House” author
Laura Ingalls Wilder, encountered an Albanian tribe called the
Dukhagini, to whom the idea of home ownership was unknown. She told
them that “in America a man owns a house. They could not believe it;
they admired America. They had heard of its marvels; during the
recent world war they had seen with their eyes the airplanes from
that fabulous land.
They
questioned me shrewdly. I had to admit that an American pays the
tribe [taxes] for possession of a house. This seemed to concede that
the American tribe does own the house.[T]heir high opinion of my
country was restored.”
It’s
comforting to know, in this special season, that the Dukhagini would
feel right at home here.

A Trail
of Dreams Thoreau in Love is a historical romance set in Concord,
Massachusetts, in the mid 19th century. Henry David Thoreau
struggles to escape his domineering mother and find love while
seeking his dreams. Will Lucy Brown, the older woman, be his
soul-mate? Will it be Ellen Sewall, the young girl, Mary Russell,
the governess, or Margaret Fuller, the feminist? Who will be
Thoreau’s true love?

story, in 2006.
