Humor and Harmony came to town in May! Becky Rule, renown
author and humorist, alternated stories with music by treasured
bluegrass and folk quartet Cordwood.
This year we enjoyed the bonus of stories by Joel Sherburne,
whose career was the subject of Becky’s recent book “60
Years of Cuttin’ the Cheese.
The
Friends of the Northwood Library thank Becky, Joel and Cordwood
for a great evening of story-telling and music that was enjoyed
by over 70 people at the Masonic Lodge in Northwood. The Friends
also thank Cavarretta Gardens and Kriya Touch Massage and
Bodywork for their generous donations for the silent auction.
This important fundraiser makes it possible for the Friends to
support the Library and community.

Calling All Gardeners!
The
Northwood Garden Club would like to extend the invitation to
all…please consider joining us on Friday, June 29th at 6:30 pm
at Northwood Congregation Church, 881 First NH Turnpike. Bring
your gardening equipment and enthusiasm, as we tackle one of the
church’s many perennial beds. Gardening knowledge is not
required, just a strong sense of community spirit and
willingness to play in the dirt!
If
you’re unable to attend this time, please consider attending one
of our meetings. We meet on the third Friday of each month at
the Northwood Community Center on Main St at 6:30PM, or join our
Facebook page ”Northwood NH Garden Club” to see what project we
shall be tackling next.

plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow” Audrey Hepburn
This Weekend’s LRPA After Dark Feature:
1969’s “Death Rides A Horse”
Join Lakes Region Public Access Television at 10:30 p.m. this
Friday and Saturday night (June 29 & 30) for our “LRPA
After Dark” presentation of 1969’s spaghetti western “Death
Rides a Horse,” starring Lee Van Cleef and John Phillip Law.
“Death Rides a Horse” is a tale of murder, betrayal and
retribution. A young boy named Bill witnesses the
degradation and murder of his family at the hands of outlaws.
Fifteen years later, Bill (Law) is an angry, vengeful man bent
on finding and killing the men who massacred his family. Bill
meets up with Ryan (Van Cleef), an ex-con bounty hunter with his
own dark reasons for tracking down the criminals. As the two
unlikely partners get closer to their prey, Bill slowly uncovers
secrets from Ryan’s past.
Though it may not be one of the most famous examples of its
genre, “Death Rides a Horse” is a fan-favorite spaghetti
western, filled shoot-outs, low-lives, and bloodlust. The film
features a gorgeous score by the renowned film composer Ennio
Morricone, as well as a memorable and understated performance by
Van Cleef, truly one of the stars of that genre. You know you
want to watch it -- so grab your popcorn and join LRPA after
dark for this gem from the cinematic past.
Congratulations to Libby White of Northwood who won the Lions
International Poster contest. The theme of this year’s contest
was “The Future of Peace.” The contest is supported by the
Saddleback Mt. Lions Club.
The
Saddleback Mt. Lions Club recently presented a check in the
amount of $3,330 to Camp Pride. Camp Pride has served many
special needs children since 1989. The Saddleback Mt. Lions Club
has been supporting Camp Pride just as long. Pictured from left

Camp Pride, Peter LaPointe; Lions Secretary, Judy Lounsbury;
Lion Bill Lounsbury; and Telephone Pioneers volunteer, Fred
James.

Letter To The Editor
Elect Me
Did
you get your property tax bill recently? I did, and I’ve hit a
bit of a milestone: I broke $9,000. And maybe “broke” is the
right word.
While the steady increase over the last 36 years is, in some
part, due to inflation, most of the increase is the result of
the state’s failure to “cherish” education.
Cherish is the word in the state constitution that the N.H.
Supreme Court saw in the Claremont Decision as meaning that it
is the responsibility of the state to educate its children.
Instead, after fighting this ruling for years, legislators spent
more years deciding what the state’s share of an “adequate”
education is: currently $3,600/pupil. An absurd amount
considering Northwood pays Coe-Brown over $14,000/pupil.
So,
rather than rail about this absurd situation from the outside, I
am running to represent the citizens of Northwood, Nottingham,
Deerfield and Candia (Rockingham Co. District 32) on the inside.
And
this will be my focus: the reform of the education funding
system that leaves property-poor towns to pay exorbitantly high
taxes while property-rich towns pay so much less. An example:
Pittsfield has $433,000/pupil in property valuation to pay for
its 583 elementary and secondary students. Portsmouth has over
$2.3 million/pupil to spend.
We
need a new system, and we are not going to get it by litigation.
We will only get it by legislation.
And
while some may claim to be “Tax Fighters,” as our Senator John
Reagan has declared each election, they are, in fact, Tax
Shifters – down-shifting costs to towns to balance the budget at
the state level. Not just education funding, but also school
construction and employee retirement.
Please vote for me in November.
