Letter To The Editor

 

To the Editor,

“We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office,” Aesop.

 

We hear a lot about the “Rule of Law.” It is the principal that all people and institutions are subject to and accountable to law that is fairly applied and enforced. In no other issue have we meandered so far from a founding principal than this one. To suggest that we are a nation of laws is laughable. Oh, we have the laws but the enforcement of them is the problem. From local police picking and choosing which laws to enforce, judges deciding which to follow or not, States like ours that give up,  Federal agencies that just disregard those laws that they don’t like to a President that is quite willing to not only disregard many laws that he just doesn’t like but tells his Federal Agencies to not enforce them. We do not have an immigration problem, we have an enforcement problem.

 

What right does anyone have to disregard any law that has been voted on by a towns voters, a State Legislature or the U. S. Congress. Yet it is done daily, no, hourly. My family used to own pet stores. When a child was misbehaving I never thought that the kid was to blame. It is the parents that allow it, or not.

 

We have allowed the “Rule of Law” standard to be bastardized by electing very poor candidates and those who support them. Barack Obama is not the King of the U.S.A. He is arguably the worst ever President surrounded  by a really browned nosed support staff, Shaheen, Kuster and Shea-Porter.

Northwood Church Hosts Drive-In Movie Night

 

The Northwood Advent Christian Church is hosting another in its series of community events with a Drive-in Movie Night Saturday, August 16, held outdoors at the church, 113 School St. Rt. 107, This event is free and is open to everyone. It will start at dusk. The feature film will be “RING THE BELL”, a film for the whole family! A great story with some great music.

 

Slick big-city sports agent Rob Decker is determined to sign a high school baseball superstar. But when he becomes stranded in a small town, he notices how the simplicity of life---and the faith of the people---stands in stark contrast to his own win-at-all-costs mindset. Torn between these two worlds, will Rob have the courage to let God transform him? Ring the Bell features special appearances of Casting Crowns, Steven Curtis Chapman, Matthew West, and others.

 

Drive up and watch from your car or bring a blanket or lawn chair and sit on the lawn. Free popcorn, refreshments and drinks will be provided. If threat of rain the showing will be in doors.

 

Come Saturday August 16 and you are welcome every Sunday at 10 am for worship service. Watch for more free community events coming up.

Letter To The Editor

Northwood Lakes

 

As the campaign season heats up, I want to write about some specific issues that I care about.  In this case, lakes.

 

In 1975, I had a sabbatical year off from teaching at Colgate University.  One of the key reasons for choosing to spend that year at the Whittemore School at UNH was water.  As I drove over the bridge connecting Newington to Dover Point on a sunny summer day, the beauty of the Great Bay and the Piscataqua River was stunning.  “I can see spending a year here,” I thought. 

 

During that year, I enjoyed paddling my canoe on the Lamprey River and learning to sail at the UNH Recreation Area on Mendum’s Pond.  I never went back to Colgate.  And when I looked, an old farmhouse on five acres with waterfront – on Jenness Pond – became my home.  No indoor plumbing?  No central heat?  No matter.

 

Thus began my deeper involvement in the health of that lake and a greater awareness of the importance of this resource statewide.

 

I joined the Jenness Pond Shoreowners Association, and when invasive milfoil became a threat, in 2002, I wrote the grant and directed the Lake Host program to inspect boats coming in and out of the lake.

 

I joined the NH Lakes Association and the Society for the Protection of NH Forests.  And now I serve on the Northwood Conservation Commission.  

 

Lakes and their watersheds are an enormously important resource from both a quality-of-life and economic standpoint.  They attract hundreds of thousands of tourists who contribute 8% of every dollar they spend on food and lodging to state revenues.  And shoreline property owners pay a significant share of  town taxes.

 

Northwood has 10 lakes in or on its borders.  If elected, I will be their steward.
