Letter

In the past three decades income inequality has increased enormously in our country. While some inequality can act as an incentive to entrepreneurship, this extreme inequality is an enormous drag on the economy. How did we get here?

Over the past 30 years the incomes of the middle class, taking inflation into account, have failed to keep up with the costs of living. We’re certainly still working hard, in fact, it’s during this period that many families found that both parents needed to have paying jobs to keep their heads above water. Our productivity has gone up as well. What happened to the wealth all that work created?

Somehow 80% of the increase in incomes went to the top 1% of earners. There are many theories as to how this happened, and if you are interested in exploring this whole subject in depth a great place to start is this excellent series by Timothy Noah in Slate Magazine.

We hear a lot today that those 1% of our population who have made these enormous gains in income are the creators of good jobs. So where are the good jobs being created? Not here. Any sensible businessman doesn’t hire more workers if his customers don’t have money to spend. You may be surprised to learn that the middle class are the true job creators in this country, and the reason our employment picture is so bleak is income inequality.

Think of it this way. If one person has $5 million, how many dinners out, lawn mower repairs, or haircuts can she buy? If 5,000 people have $1000 each, how much gets purchased? How many people get employed? Makes sense, doesn’t it? The middle class create jobs when they are doing well.

Northwood Strawberry Festival

That "berry-sweet" time of year is just around the corner, so mark you calendars for the annual Strawberry Festival at Northwood Congregational Church, Route 4 in Northwood on June 23 from 8 am until 2 pm.

Enjoy a hearty breakfast full of (you guessed it) strawberries, and everything else to complement your pancakes, sausage and real maple syrup. If you don’t quite make it for breakfast, never fear, grilled hotdogs, hamburgers served with fresh potato salad and other tasty lunch fare will be available from 11 am to 2 pm. Strawberry smoothies, strawberries dipped in chocolate and mouth-watering homemade strawberry shortcakes piled with whipped cream and ice cream will be served up all day long.

Feast your eyes on strawberry pies and other baked goodies hand-made in the kitchens of the locals chefs of the church. Plenty of locally picked quarts will be for sale to take home for your own baking and canning, so let us do your pickin’ and don’t forget to stock up!

Save the date, June 23rd. Come browse under the big tent for treasures that you just can’t leave without at the yard sale. Kids activities too!

For more details, call Pam English at 942-8501, or email her at [email protected].


Chesley Memorial Library Summer Programs

Summer is here again… warm weather, sun, vacation, and lots of time to catch up on reading!

We hope that you can join one of our summer reading programs or book discussions, maybe join us for a craft session or two. If you need more information about any of the programs listed below, check our web site at www.chesleylib.com or call us at 942-5472.

 

Summer Reading Programs

We have four different summer reading programs, one for every age!

Registration for all summer reading programs begins on June 25 this year. Everyone who registers will receive a Book Buck that can be used for money off library fines! Summer reading programs will end the week of August 5 and all participants will be invited to a final party, date and time to be announced.

 

Libraries: The Heart of Every Community (adults)

Even grown-ups read over the summer, so why not join in on the fun? Just register at the front desk and then fill out a raffle ticket for every book you read. Drawings will be held weekly and winners will receive a gift assortment package… it’s that easy!

 

Own the Night (grades 6 +)

Teens can "own the night" at the library this year. Most of you have to read for school anyway so why not get some prizes while you’re at it? Teen Librarian Angela Spirdione will hold craft sessions on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. related to the theme. Join Angela to make dream catchers, death masks, origami stars, blacklight T-shirts and more!

 

Dream Big…Read!

(grades 1-5)

There are lots of new and exciting juvenile fiction titles for kids to read. So it’s time to open a book and dream big, read, at the library this year!

 

Kids joining this program will work with Librarian Diane Kizirian to make a variety of crafts such as glow jars and blacklight T-shirts. Drop-in craft sessions will be held on Wednesdays from 1:30-3:30 pm.

 

Dream Big…Read!

(preschool-K)

Reading to your young child on a regular basis will help build the reading skills needed once your child starts school. Join Librarian Annette Blake for simple craft sessions on Wednesdays from 10:30 am-12:30 pm and pick out a stack of books to read to your child at the same time.

 


Business After Hours

Susty’s Café, located at 159 First New Hampshire Turnpike in East Northwood, will open their doors for a Business after Hours event on Wednesday, June 20 at 5:30 pm.

Sponsored by The Northwood Economic Development Committee, this is a great opportunity for business owners to exchange ideas, make connections and just enjoy the company. You will have time to give a brief overview of your business. Light refreshments will be served. All Northwood business owners or their representatives are invited to attend. Hope to see you there!
