Letter
To The Editor
More
Mail
I have
recently received yet another survey in the mail; this one from the
Americans for Tax Reform, inviting me to sign a Taxpayers Protection
Pledge to “oppose and Vote (sic) against any and all efforts to
increase taxes.” Never. Ever. Under any circumstances.
I will
decline to sign this pledge. Not because I intend to represent you
Citizens of Northwood – taxpayers and non-taxpayers alike – by
looking for taxes to raise. On the contrary, I will look for ways
to spend our collective money more wisely, prudently and to greater
effect. And, I hope, as you do, that this results in a lower
overall level of taxation.
On the
other hand, I have lived long enough to have learned that
circumstances arise that require an alteration or change in course.
And to take options off the table in advance seems unwise, if not
silly.
The
best current example is the modest increase in the gas tax by 4¢. I
would require that all those who opposed it commute to and from
Boston on I-93 between the hours of 7:00 - 9:00 am and 5:00 – 7:00
pm until such time as they see the need to finish the widening of
this highway. I have had to do this a couple of times in the last
month, and I can assure all of you that the time (which is money)
and money (which is money) that is lost in gridlock far exceeds the
extra $16/year that the gas tax will cost the average motorist.
So I’m
not going to tie my hands by signing this or any pledge. I would
call your attention to the House in Washington where the Majority
has implicitly pledged to, in Nancy Reagan’s words, “just say no.”
You can see what good that is doing.

CBNA
Faculty Member Writes For National Magazine
An
article written by Coe-Brown Northwood Academy Health/Physical
Education teacher and girls’ soccer coach Josh Hils was published in
the July/August 2014 edition of Coach & AD Magazine, a professional
magazine for college and high school Athletic Directors and coaches,
which has a national readership of over 36,000 subscriptions in
print and online. The article, titled Setting Up Athletes for
Failure, grew out of Mr. Hils’ experience and passion for helping
coaches build positive, student athlete centered coaching
philosophies. The article focuses on the ways coaches can
unintentionally create situations in which student athletes are set
up to fail. It also illustrates ways for coaches to avoid these set
ups and tips about how to create a positive coaching environment
that is the extension of what happens in the educational setting.
