2016 Annual Town Report ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE TOWN OF BRISTOL, NEW HAMPSHIRE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2016 POPULATION: 3,054 (2010 Census) NET TAXABLE VALUATION: $468,238,103 TOWN: $8.22 per thousand SCHOOL DISTRICT: $8.33 per thousand STATE EDUCATION: $2.29 per thousand COUNTY: $1.78 per thousand TOTAL TAX RATE: $20.62 per thousand Town of Bristol Annual Report 1 DEDICATION OF THE ANNUAL REPORT THERE IS A HERO AMONGST US! “Bub” Sheffield, now there is someone who brings a smile to your face whenever you think of him. Bub is quick to tell you that his name is Harold “Bub” Sheffield. He was given the nickname of Bub by his family at a very young age. In fact, though it is ok to be named Bub when you are 5 or 6, but in your 90’s, it is just a darn shame. Who would think a 90 plus man would be named Bub? The Town of Bristol is indeed fortunate to have Mr. Harold “Bub” Sheffield among its citizens. He is truly a man of distinction. Of course, he would scratch his head and say, “I'm what?” He has been a resident of Alexandria, New Hampton and Bristol for many years. In the midst of those years he became one of the “Great Generation.” Bub spent some 29 months in the Pacific Theater of War during World War II as a member of the United States Marines. He was a member of the Marine Raiders. This group served behind the Japanese lines before the tide had started to turn in America’s fa- vor. Bub fought in many battles and survived them all. Many of his friends were not so lucky. He was plagued with illness and hun- ger on more than one occasion. Bub came home with other Marines and became one of this community’s solid citizens. He was elected to the Board of Selectmen in New Hampton and served honorably. He worked both for himself and others as he raised his family. In any terms he was and is a model citizen, a good man and a fine friend. Harold “Bub” Sheffield is what many consider a National Treasure. His latest project was the Memorial Statue to the United States Marines at the Veteran’s Cemetery in Boscawen, N.H. He was the motivating force behind raising the funds necessary for the statue's construction and placement in that cemetery—all at a time when he was in his early 90’s. When he visits the Marine Raiders Museum in Quantico, Virginia he is greeted by the salutation, “There is a RAIDER in the build- ing!” This is in recognition of his stature among the Marine Raiders. The People of Bristol recognize the many contributions and sacrifices made by this fine man both as a Marine and a Citizen of the Town of Bristol. His remarkable resiliency, calm demeanor and enthusiastic view of life serve as a reminder of one of the many fine people that we see day to day and sometimes lose sight of their unique contributions to the Town and the community. It is with great pleasure that the Bristol Board of Selectmen honors Harold “Bub” Sheffield as one of its “Great Generation”.

In March, the Board welcomed two new faces, although hardly strangers to the community, with J.P. Morrison re- turning to the Board and Leslie Dion being sworn in. From there, the Board got down to work with a strategic planning session and identified three consensus goals for the year: 1. Zoning, Regulatory, and Economic Development; 2. Space Needs; and 3. Employee Relations. Many projects and decisions were undertaken keeping those three goals in mind. Some highlights include: Acquired the “Smith Lot” for future municipal use.

This established a binary paradigm between Americans and Muslims, where Americans represented “us” whereas Muslims represented “them.” Through a qualitative analysis of the main characters in the post-9/11 terrorism-show, Homeland, season one (2011), as well as an analysis of the opening sequence and the overall narrative in the show, this thesis argues that this binary system of “us” and “them” is no longer black and white, but blurred, and hard to define. My analysis indicates that several of the enemies in the show break with the stereotypical portrayal of Muslims as crude, violent fanatics.

  • Four Hours in Shatila
    Four Hours in Shatila JEAN GENET* "Goyim kill goyim, and they come to hang the Jews." Menachem Begin (Knesset, September 1982) No one, nothing, no narrative technique, can put into words the six months, and especially the first weeks, which the fedayeen spent in the mountains of Jerash and Ajloun in Jordan. As for relating the events, establishing the chronology, the successes and failures of the PLO, that has been done by others. The feeling in the air, the color of the sky, of the earth, of the trees, these can be told; but never the faint intoxication, the lightness of footsteps barely touching the earth, the sparkle in the eyes, the openness of relationships not only between the fedayeen but also between them and their leaders. Under the trees, everything, everyone was aquiver, laughing, filled with wonder at this life, so new for all, and in these vibrations there was something strangely immovable, watchful, reserved, protected like someone praying. Everything belonged to everyone. Every- one was alone in himself. And perhaps not. In the end, smiling and haggard. The area in Jordan where they had withdrawn for political reasons extended from the Syrian border to Salt, and was bounded by the Jordan River and the road from Jerash to Irbid. About 60 kilometers long *Jean Genet is a French poet and playwright. He also wrote on the Palestinians in the Autumn 1973 issue of the Journal.

  • 1 Muslims As National and Religious Antagonists in HOMELAND's Narr
    ”NICHOLAS, WE’RE AT WAR AND YOU NEED TO CHOOSE SIDES.”1 Muslims as national and religious antagonists in HOMELAND’S narrative Lisa Kienzl UDK 323.15:297(73) 32:17(73):297 791.43(73):297]179 Every individual wants to be part of a community. To reach this goal of be- ing included and to gain social rewards instead of punishments, one has to face the expectations of a community, as Habscheid states.2 To be accepted into a community/society, we have to approve social norms, values and nar- ratives.3 Thus, a national discourse is not only relevant to society’s stability but underlines the importance of collective as well as individual identity building. The US American identity after 9/11 focused especially on a stereotypi- cally produced national enemy visualized in western imagination of Mus- lims and Islam. This defined Islam as an antagonism to the US nation built on Christian values, ignoring the different social groups within the state itself. Portraying Islam as a dominantly negative religion transported stereo- types regarding the representation of Muslims. These ideas expressed them- selves in a nationally defined enemy mediated by modern media. In the US television series HOMELAND, these fears as well as a nationally constructed exclusion discourse have been addressed and discussed. This paper deals with the basic theories on national identity and analyzes the depiction of Islam as antagonism to US American Christian nationalism within the nar- rative of the television series HOMELAND. Identity and Nationalism In general, it should be noted that identity building is a complex process that is collectively constructed through categories of norms and values of * Lisa Kienzl, University of Graz, Institute for Religious Studies, [email protected]–graz.at 1 Homeland, 2.01 The Smile.
