Master Plan Makeover In Barnstead

 

Did you know that Barnstead’s Master Plan helps guide financial planning, budgets and expenditures in our town? Based on resident input, it’s a rare opportunity for us to have a direct say in how our town grows and how our tax money is spent.

 

The Barnstead Planning Board has just begun its periodic update of the Master Plan. It will occur in stages. The first sections to be tackled will be "Economic Development" and "Facilities & Public Transportation" (including roads). Questionnaires, public meetings and online options will give you a variety of ways to voice your opinions. Look for notices toward the 2nd quarter of 2012. In the meantime, the Board’s Master Plan Committee will be publishing additional articles with more details. We’ll outline the contents of the Master Plan and provide helpful information about the process.

 

The Barnstead Master Plan Committee meets every second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Parade Fire Station. Meetings are open to the public, and you’re welcome to attend. If you have comments or questions, you can email [email protected] or call the Barnstead Town Hall.

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

Dear Editor:

One of the most important issues in New Hampshire, indeed the country, is sustainable agriculture. By that I mean locally grown fruits, nuts, vegetables, grains and meats that are raised as organically as possible.

 

Something that folks may not think about is this; much of the produce that arrives in our supermarkets is grown out-of-country. You know, where there are few regulations and oversight. It has always been interesting to me that our farmers are required to maintain very high standards, while food that flows from our ports and across our borders is mostly free from scrutiny. And remember, we are eating that stuff.

 

It is important that we in New Hampshire begin to build support for local agriculture. We can start by buying fresh, locally grown produce when we can. Locally grown produce is fresher, better and more nutritious for us. A couple of by-products of your support is better personal health for you and better financial health for your local farmers. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

 

Make the decision to support our local farmers this year. Thank you.

The Truth Project

 

In a 2003 study, the Barna Research Group revealed a stunning statistic that continues to reverberate throughout the evangelical world – only nine percent of professing Christians have a biblical world view. Because of this, today’s believers live very similarly to non-believers. A personal sense of significance is rarely experienced. As we spend our money and time on things that fail to satisfy, we begin to wonder what life’s ultimate purpose really is. We are, in short, losing our bearings as a people and a nation. To counter this downward slide, The Truth Project was launched.

 

The Truth Project is a DVD-based small group curriculum comprised of 12 video lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. This study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life. As He has throughout history, God continues to call ordinary people to make an eternal difference in our world.

 

The Center Barnstead Christian Church invites you to be a part of this study. Each session will involve a 50 minute video presentation followed by a time of discussion. The study will begin on Sunday, February 12, 2012, from 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm at Center Barnstead Christian Church which is located at the corner of Route 126 (South Barnstead Road) and Shackford Corner Road (next to the Barnstead Town Hall). Child care is available, please call the church to make arrangements. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Brian Gower or Ken Borgia at 269-8831.
