An Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service will be held at the First Baptist Church of Northwood on Sunday, November 22, at 5 p.m. All are welcome to attend this service of thanksgiving for the many blessings that we have received in the past year. In place of an offering for that evening, it is suggested that we bring items for the Food Pantry.

Rain or shine (even snow!), we will be in the warmth of the hall, thanks to the Masons.

Letter


I commend the majority of the Democratic members of the House, and the one brave Republican from Louisiana who passed the health care bill Saturday night. It is far from a perfect bill, and the anti-choice amendment stinks, but it is an enormous step. How enormous was made very clear by the person chosen to preside during the debate, Rep. Dingell from Michigan, an aged gentleman whose father proposed the first healthcare bill to come before Congress in the 1930s. That’s how long it has taken us to get just this far.


But I will carry with me forever the scene of white, male Republican “representatives” shouting down the Democratic women who tried to speak during the debate. I am left with the conviction that there are just too many Republicans who don’t like or respect women. Senator Sessions thinks it is fine to charge women more for health insurance because it’s like charging smokers more. (Being a woman is doing something unhealthy, I guess.) Senator Kyl doesn’t think we need maternity care as a standard part of health insurance because HE doesn’t need it.


As a woman, this is one of the many reasons that I am a Democrat. When asked why, I simply say, “What have the Republicans done for me recently?” I suppose I could even say “ever.” Watching the dismantling of my country’s economy, environment and reputation over the past decade under Bush left me with a very nasty taste in my mouth. The Republican Party hasn’t done anything since the 2008 election that tastes any better.

Coe-Brown Receives A Fourth Sportsmanship Award

Matt Skidds and Headmaster David Smith, and unveil Coe-Brown’s latest award banner.


Coe-Brown Northwood Academy unveiled its newest award to the entire student body at a recent school assembly. Athletic Director Matt Skidds announced that Coe-Brown has received the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association’s Class I Sportsmanship Award for the 2008-2009 school year. The award was presented to the school by Mr. Patrick Corbin, Executive Director of NHIAA.


The most prestigious honor awarded by the NHIAA, the Sportsmanship Award is voted on by all schools who participate in Class I athletics.  It honors Coe-Brown’s athletes, coaches, and spectators for their conduct and sportsmanship during the past year’s athletic season.  This is the fourth consecutive year that Coe-Brown has been the Class I honoree, and Skidds emphasized the role the entire school played in earning this award.  It is a great honor for CBNA to win this award, since there are only four schools throughout the state, one for each size classification, chosen each year to be honored for outstanding sportsmanship.


The NHIAA promotes a culture of sportsmanship amongst its member schools and the 44,000 student athletes involved in its programs.

 


 

Northwood Recreation Thank You


The 4th Annual Haunted Hayride was held on October 30th and October 31st and was a ghouling success enjoyed by children of all ages as well as adults.  The night was chilling with thrills of scary sights and freaky noises.  This year’s event would not have been possible without the help of our volunteers and the generous donations from local businesses; Lee Dunkin Donuts, Northwood Dunkin Donuts, Northwood Hannaford, Shaw’s in Dover, Duane Family Farm, and Johnson Spray Foam of Northwood.


The success of the Haunted Hayride is a result of participation from the Recreation Commission Members, Girl Scouts, and all the scary faces who were hiding in the woods and those behind the scenes. I would like to thank you for your dedication. Most of all, thank you to Camp Yavneh for allowing us to utilize the facility. We are already planning for next year’s event; guaranteed to be a TREAT!

Harvey Lake Woman’s Club (affiliated with General Federation of Women’s Clubs) recently recognized three members for their many years of service. Audrey Huckins, 35 years; Pat Jacobsmeyer, 27 years; Joann Bailey, 33 years. The Club held its first meeting January 4, 1913. It was decided by the women present that the object of this club would be “to promote sociability and culture, and to make itself a power for the good in the community,” a heritage still honored today. They currently, make Comfort Pillows for breast cancer patients and hold a newborn baby shower each year for Concord Hospital; sponsor a Mitten Tree for St. Charles Children’s Home in Rochester to name a few of their activities. They meet each month at the Northwood Congregational Church.
