Classes have run Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and while the usual courses like math and reading are being offered, so is cooking. “It’s great to have kids here who want to be here,” enthused Assistant Principal Jess Vezina. “Some kids love school.” Not just kids, either.

George was born in Nelson, on September 18, 1933, the son of Don L. and Grace (Towne) Warner. After attending Nelson schools he went to work helping his family in their firewood business. At the age of sixteen, he began working part time for the State of New Hampshire Department of Transportation on the Road Recovery and Improvements crew. On February 23, 1958 George married Joan A. Murdough in a service in Nelson. That same year George was hired as a full time employee of the NH DOT. He retired in 1991 after serving for more than 42 years as a member of the road crew in the Nelson District. After his retirement from the NH DOT, George served as Town Sexton and custodian for the Nelson Congregational Church. He also kept busy doing odd jobs for folks in town. He was always working to support his family. The members of the Nelson Select Board wish to acknowledge with appreciation the many years of dedicated service that George gave to the Town of Nelson. Those of us who knew George will all agree that he was a good neighbor and a good man.

    THE HOOT Volume 3 Spring 2018 The Deliberative Session By Niko Kakouris Annually, the Timberlane community gathers into the gym and sits before the school board and budget members of the district for its deliberative session. At delibera- tive session, the members of the community are allowed to voice concerns and revisions to proposed articles with the school board and the budget committee before the articles go to vote in the community for the March 13th vote. The main concern year to year is the school budget, which deals with how to spend the district taxpayers’ money for the district’s educational needs. In some past and present years, mem- bers of the committee have sought to make cuts. This year was no different, with a proposed budget that could affect the amount of staff, athletic teams, school equipment, and the school’s more potential to hurt the district if it is attempting to remove the necessities of having a posi- tivelymaintenance. functioning Cutting school the district. budget may have its benefits to taxpayers’ wallets; however, it has An article that was proposed that had the potential to impact the district, and even more so lightsthe high and school, the idea was that the with request the lights,to install there an areartificial more sporting hours that field. it will The be idea able was to beto installused for. the turf on the football field which is surrounded by the track.

    ★ PART TWO ★ Current Women Members 778 ★ women in congress ★ introduction to ★ Current Members’ Profiles KEY TO MEMBER TITLES In the 90 years since Representative Jeannette Rankin of Montana became the first woman elected to Congress, a total of 229 women have served in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. Many themes central to the larger saga of American democracy resonate in the history of women in Congress: pioneering spir- it, struggle, perseverance, gradual attainment of power, advancement through unity, and outstanding achievement. The legacy of that dynamic history serves as prologue to the 84 women who now serve in the 109th Congress (2005–2007). The 67 Representatives, three Delegates, and 14 Senators constitute the largest group of women to serve in the history of ★ senator ★ the institution (15.5 percent of the total lawmakers in both chambers). In fact, they account for more than one-third of all the women who have ever served in Congress. All were sworn in to Congress after 1976; most first took office in the 1990s. Part II of Women in Congress provides biographical profiles of these individuals in a format that echoes former Member entries—with information on precongress- ional careers, first House or Senate campaigns, committee and leadership positions, and legislative achievements. But because these are careers in progress, definitive accounts of current Members must await a later date. Current Members were given the opportunity to review their individual profiles prior to publication. In addition, Part II profiles differ in tone and style from, and they are half the length (750 words) of, most former Member entries.
