Deerfield Farmer’s Market Is Celebrating 5th Anniversary
Opening Day June 19th


The Deerfield Farmer’s Market is an open air experience where shoppers can purchase the freshest, locally grown produce directly from area farmers. The Market is full of lively conversations where farmers and customers chat about the products, farms and sometimes even secret family recipes!


While shopping, you will bask in the aroma of fresh food sizzling on the open grill courtesy of market chef. Customers also have their choice of the produce that arrives at the market mere hours after being picked. Fresh locally grown foods are always packed with nutrients and rich flavors. Staples such as tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, bedding flowers, pumpkins, pie, and bread are mixed with treats such as occasional hay rides, a petting zoo, and the ever popular balloon guy.


So come experience the colorful abundance of nutritious, high quality foods, the aroma of fresh produce and the friendly banter of farmers and customers, neighbors and families.


The market is located on the Deerfield Fair grounds on Cotton Rd. The Market is open every Friday starting June 19th through mid-Oct. from 3 p.m.-7 p.m. with Good Reasons to Buy Locally Grown Food.


Taste and freshness. Local food is fresher and tastes better than food shipped long distances from other states or countries.


Most fresh fruits and vegetables produced in the U.S. are shipped from California, Florida, and Washington. Fruits and vegetables shipped from distant states and countries can spend as many as seven to fourteen days in transit before they arrive in the supermarket.


Help strengthen the local economy. Buying local food keeps your dollars circulating in our community. Getting to know the farmers who grow your food builds relationships based on understanding and trust, the foundation of a strong community. When you buy local food, you vote with your food dollar.


Health. Knowing where your food comes from and how it is grown or raised enables you to choose safe food from farmers who avoid or reduce their use of chemicals, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetically modified seed in their operations. Buy food from local farmers you trust.

Coe-Brown Chorus Wins Gold In Competition

 

 

Pictured from left to right are Coe-Brown students William Farrell, Jacob Brownell, Philip Shiere, Sophie Shiere and Jihyon Im.


On April 24th, members of the Coe-Brown Concert Chorus and Select Chorus, under the direction of David Deardorff, traveled to Boston to participate in the Heritage Festival.  This Festival, which took place in the new performing arts center at Endicott College, provides a unique “hands-on-learning” experience.  Young musicians benefit from the insight of top adjudicators, the rush of competition, and exposure to other talented groups from across the nation.


The performing groups are awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze for their efforts.  Both of Coe-Brown’s choruses (Concert Chorus and Select Chorus) received Gold.  Along with this, they were invited to participate in next year’s “Festival of Gold” which is an invitation only festival extended to the elite performing groups from the festival.  In addition to this, three of the students were awarded the “Maestro” award for outstanding individual excellence at the festival.  These students are Jacob Brownell, Philip Shiere and Sophie Shiere.


The Chorus spent two days in Boston.  Aside from the Festival they visited the New England Aquarium, went on the Duck Boat Tour, saw “Blue Man Group,” went to the Salem Witch Museum and dined at the Hard Rock Café.  They were also feted with a Banquet, Awards Ceremony and dance on Saturday evening.  The CBNA Chorus performed “The Last Words of David” by Randall Thompson, “Animal Crackers” by Eric Whitacre and “Ol’ Man River” by Jerome Kern, arranged by Russell Robinson.  The Select Chorus performed “Sure on this Shining Night” by Morten Lauridsen and “No Mark” by Cecil Effinger.

 

This was a memorable trip for the Chorus students and they are already excited about next year’s possibilities.   The Festival and its adjudicators provide a huge benefit to the curriculum in the sense that the students return with renewed energy and a desire to work even harder in the coming year.  The students who participate in these festivals form a bond that will never be broken and have memories that they carry for life.

 


 

CBNA Student Places In Voice Of Democracy Contest


Coe-Brown Northwood Academy sophomore Samuel Hastings was the third place winner in the 2008-2009 VFW Voice of Democracy competition for District Seven.  Samuel was invited to the District Encampment held at VFW Post 1617 in Derry on May 17th to receive his award.  The Voice of Democracy program is a writing /essay competition held in the fall (just before Veterans Day). Created in 1947, the Voice of Democracy (VOD) scholarship program is an audio-essay contest for high school students in grades 9-12 that is designed to foster patriotism by allowing students the opportunity to voice their opinions in a three to five minute essay based on an annual theme. The contest annually provides more than $3 million in scholarships to high school students throughout the country. 

 


 

Strafford-Bow Lake Community Yard Sale


Strafford will be a busy place this Saturday. The Strafford - Bow Lake Community Yard Sale will be taking place as well as the Strafford Garden Club Plant Sale and The Strafford Fire and Rescue Lunch and Tour. So come early and spend the day. Start with the Plant Sale at the Bow Lake Grange Hall. They start at 8 AM and they sell out fast, so if you want to find that special plant, come early.


Then head over to the Bow Lake Baptist Church where the yard sale people will be ready and waiting for you. They start at 9 AM and will be open till 3 PM. While you browse the yard sales, be sure to get a cup of coffee and a goody from the Christian Women’s Circle food sale tent. The food will be great; it always is.


Of course, you will have already bought a yard sale map at the Blue Loon on Friday between 5 and 8 for a $1 donation to lead you to all the rest of the great yard sales around town. But if you missed us there, we will be at the church with plenty more maps. Spend some time exploring Strafford while you follow the map to all the great yard sales around town.


By then it will be lunch time and you will be starving from all that shopping. So come on back to the Waldron Store where the Strafford Fire and Rescue Department will be selling hamburgers, hot dogs, and other favorites. After you eat your lunch, be sure to take a tour of the Bow Lake Fire Station. They have done a lot of work on the building and grounds and would like to show you.


Donations made for maps, yard sale purchases from the Bow Lake Church table and the food table, and all proceeds from map sponsors will benefit the Strafford Christian Cupboard, our local food pantry, and the Strafford Fire and Rescue Department.
Please come, have fun, and support your community.

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor:
I am a home care nurse from Rochester and I just returned from a trip to Capitol Hill with nurses from every state in America. We were there on behalf of our patients to help preserve access to home care and hospice services amid $13 billion in suggested cuts to the home health benefit in the Obama Administration’s proposed 2010 budget. I support expanded access to health care, but not at the expense of my patients who rely on home care each and every day.


These cuts are being proposed despite research that shows home care is more cost effective than institutional care. The average home-care visit costs Medicare $150; the average hospital day costs $1,500. Anyone can do this simple math.


But equally important is the fact that nine out of ten senior citizens say they would prefer to receive health care in the comfort and familiar surroundings of home rather than in an institution. These proposed cuts will jeopardize the ability of Americans – including 78 million Baby Boomers who are entering retirement age – to choose home care.


Virtually every American knows or loves someone who is ill, in declining health or living with a chronic medical condition who wants to stay in their own home while they receive treatment. Please contact your representatives in Congress or visit HelpUsChooseHome.com to learn what you can do to preserve the Medicare home health benefit in Washington.


Sincerely,
Nicki Smith, RN, CRNI, COS-C
Rochester District Visiting Nurse Association
