The Coe Brown Alumni Association would like to congratulate the following graduates for receiving the Alumni Scholarships.

 

The current graduates of 2012 that received the scholarships were Gregory Hatfield (attending University of New Hampshire), Courtney Turcotte (attending University of Vermont), and Thomas Masison (attending University of New Hampshire).

 

There was one alumnus chosen and that scholarship went to Kelly Brown, who is attending The University of Massachusetts (Amherst).

 


 

Summer is here! Time to clean out your barns, sheds, and houses of unwanted "treasures." On July 7 from 9 am to 1 pm there will be a variety of those "treasures" at the Yard Sale at 113 School Street at the Northwood Advent Christian Church (Route 107 in the Narrows). Included in this yard sale are treasures, such as Retro 50s sound equipment, Old British Garrard record player, 1960s Hammond organ with 25 note pedals, and an antique Minshall-Estey organ. Come and see what other treasures we have. There will also be a bake sale and hot dogs. If it rains, it will be held inside. Sponsored by the Ladies Mission Group.

Harvey Lake Watershed Association To Meet

 

The Harvey Lake Watershed Association will host a general membership meeting Friday, July 6, at 6:30 pm at the public beach/boat launch on Shore Drive.

 

The association is a volunteer group of Harvey Lake residents who monitor the quality of the lake’s water by regular testing through the state’s Volunteer Lake Assessment Program (VLAP), manage the summer Lake Host program, and organize volunteer weed watchers who search the lake for signs of invasive species. These are your neighbors whose primary mission is to protect Harvey Lake for the enjoyment of all. If you care about the lake, your attendance at this meeting would be most welcome.

 

The meeting will be held at the boat launch to give members a chance to see the area and discuss the possibility of a campaign to improve the surroundings.

 

For more information, please call Bob Charest, president of the association, at 892-1684.

Letter

 

Four recent pieces of news caught my eyes. First, National Geographic had an article about our eastern coastline being a hot spot for sea level rise, http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/06/120625-sea-level-rise-east-coast-us-science-nature-climate-change/.

 

Second, the state of NC wants to pass a law about how to measure this: no planning is allowed to use any predictions that are not based on extrapolating historical trends because "sea level rise" is a leftist term,

http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2012/06/07/north-carolina-legislature-mulls-ban-on-sea-level-rise-projections/.

 

Third, the NH GOP held a meeting June 25th at our Legislative Office Building in Concord to discuss how a non-binding UN resolution passed several decades ago is going to ruin our country and steal our freedom if we attempt to create land use planning, bike paths or parks http://kevinavard.com/2012/06/agenda-21-jack-kimble/ and http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/17/un-agenda-21-new-hampshire-ban_n_1524285.html.

 

Fourth, Colorado is burning http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-06-27/colorado-wildfire/55851488/1

 

I grew up in a scientifically oriented family. My father, a Republican, was a surgeon, and we surely don’t want our surgeons to decide that scientific knowledge can be dispensed within favor of ideology. So I am always amazed at what has happened to the political party my dad belonged to when it comes to science. It would appear that there is something to the statement that "reality has a liberal bias."

Community Service Volunteers Needed

 

The Northwood Cemetery Trustees are looking for assistance in several maintenance projects that need to be completed at the Northwood cemeteries. Whether you are a community member who has a few hours to contribute or a Coe Brown Academy student looking to complete required community service hours, your help is needed and will be appreciated. The historic fence that frames the cemetery next to the Northwood Congregational Church is in need of painting to bring it back to its original beauty. Several projects need to be completed at other locations and you are welcome to participate at whatever level your schedule allows. For information contact Janet at 942-5187.

Chestnut & Cape Provides Matching Funds to "Cap Off" Chesley Memorial Library Sign Project

Northwood Chesley.JPG

Have you noticed the new sign outside the Chesley Memorial Library?

 

Thanks to the support of our community, the Friends of the Chesley Memorial Library have successfully completed the first phase of library sign project, including the installation of granite posts and a large sign board.

 

The second (and final) phase of the project will include designing and building a weather-deterring "cap" for the sign, as well as landscaping. Fund raising efforts are underway to raise the additional $3,000 needed to finish the project.

 

Curt Naleid, Northwood resident and owner of Chestnut and Cape, a construction management and general contracting firm specializing in technically challenging and detailed construction, has generously offered to donate a dollar for every dollar raised for the second phase until the goal is reached. "The library is a valuable resource to this community and this great opportunity for individuals and local business to show their support. We are happy to be a part of it." commented Curt.

 

The Friends of the Chesley Memorial Library hope to complete the sign in time for the celebration of National Library Month in September, during which they plan to have an official unveiling and reception to recognize the many generous supporters of the library and this project.

 

For more information about Chestnut and Cape, visit www.ChestnutandCape.com. To donate, contact Sarah Ramsey at 942-5525, or mail checks to: Friends of the Chelsey Memorial Library, 8 Mountain Avenue, Northwood, NH 03261.

  


 

Thank You

Northwood library_pictures_105.JPG

The Chesley Memorial Library Board of Trustees would like to thank the family and friends of Dolores McDuffee Bushnell for donating two wooden magazine spinner racks in her memory.

 

Dolores was an avid reader and a longtime patron of the library. Library staff always enjoyed visiting with Dolores and appreciated her enthusiasm for reading. Her husband William "Bill" Bushnell presented the spinner racks to the Library Trustees at their May meeting. The wooden spinner racks provide a touch of elegance (much nicer than the old metal rack!) and provide better access to the library’s magazine collection. Please stop in to see the new spinner racks… and check out a magazine at the same time!

 


 

Northwood Recreation Update

Submitted By Kathy Coe, Recreation Director

 

Join the Northwood Recreation Department on July 14th from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm as we honor our men and women in uniform who have and are currently serving our country.

 

We will be holding the first concert of our 2nd Annual Summer Concert Series. The concert will feature Scott Thurston, The NH 39th Army National Guard Band, and Jimmy Lehoux.

 

Scott Thurston is a native of Penacook, NH. He will be performing the National Anthem.

 

The 39th Army National Guard Band began in Manchester, NH in 1879. The 39th Army Band, New Hampshire Army National Guard can trace its lineage back 125 years to its inception in Manchester in 1879. The band is comprised of musicians representing many communities throughout out state. The members of the 39th Army Band are dedicated soldiers whose high standard of performance is respected and anticipated wherever they perform. Truly, the 39th Army Band is a shining example of New Hampshire’s soldiers at their finest.

 

Jimmy Lehoux, along with his band. The Lehousiana Boys, has packed his own beginning venues in his home state of New Hampshire and is now taking Nashville by storm. His live shows are mixed with ballads and narrative story songs and this did-it-his-own-way Cowboy is destined to be heard across America. Jimmy Lehoux’s rapid rise to the top of the country music scene in the Northeast has been as natural and organic as the music he makes. He continues to push the boundaries of country music forward.

 

Grab your blankets, lawn chairs, and dancing shoes and join us for a fun, casual evening of live music at the Northwood Athletic Fields, 611 1st New Hampshire Turnpike. Food vendors will be on site as well. The concerts are free for the public to enjoy. All concerts are weather permitting. Cancellations will be posted on http://recreation.northwoodnh.org. Concerts will not have rain dates.

 

Contact the Recreation Department at 942-5586 x209 if you have additional questions or check us out on Facebook.
