Amidst the destruction of last week's tornado Old Glory stands straight and proudly flying. Volunteers and residents point out damage to a newsteam on the site at the Epsom/Northwood line the day after the storm. The bright day and quiet skies belie the fury of the storm the day before which touched down from Atkinson to Effingham.

Nottingham Resident Receives Nathan C. Lake Memorial Scholarship

Ethan Alexander Howe (in cap and gown), winner of the Nathan C. Lake Memorial Scholarship, and his parents, Judith and Fred Howe (far right), visit with (left to right) Julie Lake Butterfield, Anne Lake and Cindy Lake at the Coe-Brown graduation ceremony.

Ethan Alexander Howe of Nottingham, a member of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy's Class of 2008, was the first recipient of The Nathan C. Lake Memorial Scholarship. The amount awarded was $10,000. Mr. Howe will begin studying cellular and molecular biology at San Diego State University this fall.

The Nathan C. Lake Memorial Scholarship was established by Mr. Lake's family following his death in July 2007. Mr. Lake was a resident of Strafford and, with his wife, Anne, ran Berrybogg Farm for more than 30 years.

"We chose to start a scholarship in Nathan's name because education, both formal and informal, was an integral part of who Nathan was," says Anne Lake. "His parents struggled financially to send him to Lafayette College as so many parents do today but they did what they had to do and Nathan lived his life always grateful for the opportunity. We have lived in this community for more than 35 years and over the years we have had the pleasure of employing many Coe-Brown students in our blueberry fields. We were always impressed with how many of the students were college bound and spoke highly of Coe-Brown. Our family hopes this scholarship will help students realize their dream of college and foster a lifelong love of education, which is how Nathan lived his life."

The family and friends of Nathan Lake contributed more than $69,000 to establish the Nathan C. Lake Memorial Scholarship Fund. For information about establishing a memorial scholarship at Coe-Brown, contact the Development Office at 603-942-5531, ext. 186, or e-mail [email protected].

Letter

I consider myself fairly stoic after all the political activity I have been involved in over the past 5 years, but I have to admit to a moment of sheer elation hearing about Obama's trip overseas. After years of cringing every time George Bush opened his mouth (or gave an unexpected shoulder rub to a world leader!) overseas, to watch video and read reports about a thoughtful, competent, intelligent candidate, who is obviously not confused by the details, meeting global leaders is pure joy.

I understand that I will be slammed by those who don't care what the rest of the world thinks about our leaders, who see our role not as the leader we used to be but as the bully, using force as a first resort. But we really are all in this together, and the decisions of the world's superpower and "biggest polluter" do have a great impact on people everywhere. What they think about us does make a difference. The policies of the Bush administration have made us much less secure, economically, environmentally and in our ability to be secure within our borders and secure in our rights, and the next president will have an uphill job putting the mess right. I am delighted to see that at least one of the candidates is capable of more than sound bites and threats, and has a vision for our global future.

As far as this being an "elitist" view, being intelligent is only elitist if you think most Americans are stupid. I don't. Neither does Barack Obama. It is really, really time for the grown-ups to have a try at running this country. We don't need four more years of McBush.

Lucy C. Edwards
