TIF Info And Community Feedback
Submitted By Hal Kreider, Northwood Economic Development
Committee
In our March town election we voted to adopt RSA-162K,
which enables Northwood to create Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
zones. At the Selectmen’s meeting on Tuesday, July 26th,
the Northwood Economic Development Committee will provide more
details about how TIF’s work and present our concept for a TIF
on the west side of town. Anyone who would like to learn
more about TIF’s and how they could help increase our
community’s tax base or anyone who would like to provide input
on our initial concept for a TIF is encouraged to attend.
This is intended to be an informal session to exchange
information and ideas with any interested community members.
We hope you can join us.
Shannan Brown Elected First Woman
Commander Of New Hampshire Veterans Of Foreign Wars
Shannan Brown of Northwood made history Sunday in Manchester,
where the Veterans of Foreign Wars installed its first ever
woman state commander. Brown served in the Air National Guard as
an Air Traffic Controller in Afghanistan which earned her
eligibility to the VFW. Brown stated being the first female
commander is nice, but she hopes the honor will become a
footnote in a successful year of leadership. She has been an
active member of the Northwood Joseph J. Jeffrey VFW Post 7217
and has served as its commander. If anyone is interested in
finding out about all the things the VFW does for Veterans and
our community check out http://nhvfw.org
This Weekend’s Lrpa After Dark
Feature:
1937’S “A Star Is Born”
LACONIA—Join Lakes Region Public Access Television at 10:30 p.m.
this Friday and Saturday night (July 1 & 2) for an encore
presentation of our “LRPA After Dark” feature,
1937’s timeless melodrama “A Star is Born,” starring Janet
Gaynor and Frederic March.
“A Star is Born” is the definitive
movie about Hollywood fame, fortune, and its human toll: the
juxtaposition of the talented, young actress’s rising career
with the downward spiral of her husband, an aging,
self-destructive, alcoholic matinee idol. This movie is so
fantastic that it’s been remade twice, once in 1954, with Judy
Garland and James Mason, and again, infamously, in 1976, with
Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. It’s even in the works
again, this time with Bradley Cooper in the starring role! For
many fans and critics, however, the original 1937 version is
still the best. Filmed in wonderful early Technicolor and
directed by William Wellman, it was nominated for six Academy
Awards, winning for Best Original Story, and garnering a special
award for the film’s outstanding color photography. Critic
Leonard Matlin wrote, “Two remakes haven’t dimmed the glow of
this drama … March and Gaynor are at their best.” Grab your
popcorn and join LRPA after dark for this vintage classic!

Letter To The Editor
How far do things actually have to get before the average person
wakes up and really looks at the political landscape. Our
founding fathers had a vision of what a free country could
accomplish and if any of them were around today, I think they
would be ashamed.
Let’s look at what we have. On the one side the best the
Democratic political machine can spit out are a left wing
socialist and a Washington insider so buried in the trappings of
politics that she doesn’t really say anything. At least
with Bernie you can say he has some integrity and wants to
legitimately do the right thing, even if it is too far left.
On the other side of the aisle we have the Republican Party
exploding from within. A rich billionaire, who could care
less about the average American, has pretty much won the primary
race and his party doesn’t even want him. The only reason
he is winning is due to the American people being tired of
politicians that get zero accomplished.
I belong to a third party called the Modern Whigs
(modernwhig.org). What attracted me to them was a belief
in a merit-based system and a government that served the people.
It is more important to get things done than to play politics.
Maybe someday people will wake up before it is too late.
Many citizens have sacrificed a great deal over the years to
make our country great and within one generation it is going
down the Johnny flusher. The current system is a joke.
Both the Republican and Democratic Parties couldn’t care less
about the average American. Corruption of money and power
run this country and eventually we will all pay the price.

Umami Opens
By Meggin Dail
Solar powered Umami opens in Northwood
with Chef Zack Squier in the kitchen.
If you’ve been watching the progress
on that big barn and house that sits diagonally across from TD
Bank on Route 4 in Northwood, surely you’ve noticed by now
there’s a new taste in town; Umami.
Umami is defined as one of the five basic tastes. and can be
translated as “pleasant savory taste.” After a successful
start with Hunky Dunk Keepin’ It Local Market, owner Jesicka
Belair knew the next order of business was a farm-to-table café.
After a long journey (where only the best destinations await),
the cafe has opened to a wonderful start. If you’re curious
about what’s behind those barn doors; here’s a sneak peek:
Umami is open Wednesday through
Saturday for breakfast and lunch 7 AM-3 PM. They use local
ingredients to make their breakfast sausages and sandwiches,
salads, burgers, and rice bowls. The sauces are made from
scratch, as well as the aiolis. The croissants and pastries are
fresh every day from Bread and Chocolate. The eggs and produce
are organic and the biscuits are made on site.Their coffee is
Café Monte Alto grown on a plantation in Peru, then ground in
Portsmouth. The meat is pasture-raised and appears in menu
favorites like the pork belly reuben and the mac and cheese
burger. Umami also offers sweet potato burgers and truffled
fries and many of the menu options can be made gluten free.
While the café is building its
audience, the market will be rebuilding as well, currently
marketing honey, syrup, eggs and dairy. Umami also features
various local artists’ work on display and for sale. Most
everything you sit at or on has been repurposed such as the barn
wood counter from the previously attached carriage house.
Everything you see has a story behind it and Jesicka is more
than happy to share her sources and stories.
