Internationally Renowned Environmentalist in Concord

 

Bill McKibben, whom Time Magazine called "The planet’s best green journalist" and the Boston Globe named "probably the country’s most important environmentalist" will be the keynote speaker at the spring fund raising dinner for the Coalition for Open Democracy.

 

The event will be held at the McLane Audubon Center, 84 Silk Farm Road in Concord on Friday, May 11, from 6 to 8 pm. Doors open at 5:15 for social hour.

 

Tickets are $40. Seating is limited. To assure your place make your reservations no later than May 6. This event is open to the public.

 

Please send a check to Coalition for Open Democracy, 4 Park Street, Suite 200, Concord NH 03301 or buy tickets on line at:

https://secure.truemajority.org/o/5/p/salsa/donation/common/public/?donate_page_KEY=7165.

 

For further information call Olivia Zink at 603-661-8621.

 


 

Mr. McKibben is the author of a dozen books about climate change, some translated into 20 different languages. A much sought-after speaker and writer, he is a Schumann Distinguished Scholar at Middlebury College, the recipient of a dozen honorary degrees and many other awards including being named a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

 

Mr. McKibben was great friends with Granny D, a founding member of COD. They worked together on the issue of how large campaign donations affect our members of congress and local elected officials who vote in the best interests of big energy companies at the expense of the environment.

 

Today he is perhaps best known as the founder of the grassroots movement 350.org http://www.350.org/, which has coordinated 15,000 rallies in 189 countries since 2009. The broad appeal of his writings, his speaking, and his organizing shows that more and more people share his concern about the undue influence of money in politics and its impact on all aspects of our lives.

 

The mission of the Coalition for Open Democracy is to ensure integrity, transparency and efficiency in political and legislative processes in New Hampshire and the nation. You can learn more at their website at http://www.coalitionforopendemocracy.org/

Letter To The Editor

 

Dear Editor:

The Northwood School Wellness Committee is made up of school staff and parents who plan events for students and their families that promote healthy living through exercise and good nutrition. In the past year they held a Community Health Fair, and for many years, they have had Family Fun Nights for students and their families to get up and get moving together.

 

On April 14, they held a Community Marathon, which was a big success. After the running of the 26th mile, participants enjoyed different activities that were established and manned by Girl Scouts Troop 47201, some Coe Brown volunteers, and coaches from the Northwood Baseball Association. Due to the generous donations of the Northwood PTA and Anytime Fitness of Northwood, prizes were bought for all the children who participated. In addition, many other businesses contributed prizes that were handed out to winners.

 

Northwood School would like to thank all the volunteers as well as Northwood Veterinary Hospital, Johnson’s Restaurant, Pizza Spinners of Lee, Stonyfield Yogurt, Rustic Crust Pizza, Northwood Garage, Halo’s Hair Salon, Cooper Hill Pizza, the Jandebeur family, Northwood Diner, Joy of Dance, The Pickle Shop, Northeast Credit Union, LGC, Anytime Fitness, Field House Sports, Northwood PTA, and Sanders for their generous donations which made all the prizes possible. Thank you to all.

 

This was the first marathon for Northwood; we hope to make this an annual event.

 

Stay active and healthy,

The Northwood School Wellness Committee

 


 

Aldo Leopold Day!

 

Join the Northwood Area Land Management Collaborative (NALMC), Bear-Paw Regional Greenways, Friends of Northwood Meadows State Park, and the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department in celebrating the second annual Aldo Leopold Weekend in New Hampshire on May 5, 2012 at Wah-Tut-Ca Scout Reservation.

 

Aldo Leopold Day in Northwood offers the opportunity to explore nature, connect with neighbors, and share ideas about a land ethic in our local communities. All programs are free and open to the public. Wah-Tut-Ca Scout Reservation is on Blakes Hill Road, 1.4 miles from the turnoff on Route 4 in Northwood.

 

Considered by many as the father of wildlife management and of the United States’ wilderness system, Aldo Leopold was a forester, conservationist, educator, writer, philosopher and outdoor enthusiast. One of Aldo Leopold’s most significant contributions was his collection of nature sketches and his vision of a "Land Ethic" expressed in his classic book on conservation, "A Sand County Almanac."

 

"There are two things that interest me: the relation of people to each other and the relation of people to land." This famous quote of Leopold’s expresses his belief that humans and land are members of the same biotic community.

 

Leopold Day Activities Include:

1:00-4:00 pm: Explore

Explore the natural surroundings on a hike with naturalists and camp staff, join poet Sharon Olds in a Land Health writing workshop, participate in a Leopold bench-making workshop with woodworker Steve Winchester, watch the UNH Woodsmen Team demonstration, and more. Additional activities for kids are planned.

 

4:00-5:30 pm: Connect

In the main dining hall, join in a presentation and discussion by Leopold scholar Julianne Lutz Warren on Aldo Leopold’s Bias for Pine Trees: Writing the Signature of the Land. Dr. Warren is the author of Aldo Leopold’s Odyssey and a faculty member at New York University. Her work unfolds Leopold’s journey to better understandings of harmonious human-nature relationships.

 

5:30-6:30 pm: Share

Share food and conversation at the Leopold community potluck supper. In the spirit of the land ethic, please bring a dish to share and your own place setting.

 

6:30-7:45 pm: Watch

The Documentary Film Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time explores Aldo Leopold’s life in the context of American conservation and environmental history, while also illustrating how Leopold’s legacy lives on today in the work of people and organizations across the nation and around the world.

Chesley Memorial Library Evening Book Discussion

 

The Chesley Memorial Library and the Blaisdell Memorial Library will be co-hosting a book discussion for Sarah Orne Jewett’s "The Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories" featuring Sarah Sherman of the University of New Hampshire’s Department of English. The program will be held at the Blaisdell Memorial Library in Nottingham on Wednesday, April 25, at 7:00 pm.

 

Sarah Sherman is an associate professor of English at UNH. Her research interests include nineteenth-century American literature and American studies, and consumer culture.

 

"The Country of the Pointed Firs" is Sarah Orne Jewett’s most popular book. Edited by Sarah Sherman, this centennial edition contains a facsimile of the original text, thereby restoring the novel to Jewett’s own version. Further enhancing the importance of this volume is editor Sarah Sherman’s introduction, which includes a sketch of Jewett’s life and professional development, a commentary on textual accuracy, and a discussion of the book’s themes and techniques as well as its historical content.

 

This program was made possible by the University of New Hampshire Speakers Bureau, which connects faculty and staff speakers with non-profit organizations to share the research and knowledge of the university with the people and communities of New Hampshire. The program is free and open to the public.

 

For more information on obtaining a speaker for your organization, contact the UNH Speakers Bureau at 603-862-4401 or on the web at www.unh.edu/speakersbureau.
