Tranquility to most Winchester Citizens is sold at the State Liquor Store, in 40 oz bottles. Nature_lover stated the shooting range would be a travesty for Winchester, just take a look around, it is just one more of the many travesties of this town. Junk yards, gravel pits, blasting, mud bog’s, racetracks and used junk truck parts store. This town should have been named Town of Travesty New Hampshire. The word is out, the Town of Travesty Town Hall is for sale and has been for sometime? It not just the old guard elected officials like Bucky Jones, Leroy Austin and now Sharra . It was and still is known fact if you wanted a special deal, just drop a roll of money on the town hall floor and say, Hey Is that your money on the floor there? Just a continuation pay to play. <br /><br /><br /> Nature_lover stated, One of Winchester's greatest assets is being adjacent to Pisgah Park. Right! Pisqah is just another of the state's boondoggle politically motivated government project to take the land from citizen with the bold promises that it is there for everyone. What they did was destroy the many cottages on the pond,which robbed a cash strapped town of a lot of tax revenue. Of course it is yours to use they said to use if you have a 4 wheeler or brave enough to walk the trails on weekend when the 4 wheelers are out. <br /><br />“We need to promote the tranquility of country life and nature, not ruin it with a shooting range. I hope residents make their voices heard and more importantly, that the town listens“! Good luck with that, some of us have been preaching for many years. We were hoping to take that single voice of disparity and turn it into bold loud roar, some people lead but no one followed. How that work for you? Some people said, if we could only elect new selectmen. How is that working for you? Same Ole, Same Ole. Just another "Ground Hog Day!<br />Noisechester, NHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-9199663417203551452016-08-10T16:20:15.507-04:002016-08-10T16:20:15.507-04:00Is this land owned by Gary Beaman's daughters?...Is this land owned by Gary Beaman's daughters?

Many towns throughout New England, the birthplace of this country, preserve many (just ) old buildings and homes as part of the heritage of those towns they were constructed in, for future generations to learn about the history of said towns and their significance that contributed to the growth of those towns and the people who lived there in the past. Because you don't care about the past, don't care about the people who contributed to make Winchester what it is today, should be no justifiable reason for you to knock people who do.. shows your ignorance and your lack of caring for history.<br /><br />As for only one comment regarding where children in this town go to school, both parents and those involved attended meetings and voiced their opinions ( like you ) and concerns and discussions and meetings are still taking place. That only one person commented on the piece here on the blog does not represent the number of people concerned and talking about this issue at meetings.<br /><br />.. and as for the Sentinel article you refer to; so glad you have the insight to speak for this blog, probably didn't occur to you that we may have been away and didn't see the article or that no one in town thought it worthy to mention or send to the blog for reprint. <br /><br />If the town employees and their lack of dedication to the people, their demand of so much excessive spending to satisfy their wants for everything new and the outrageous benefits, a previously employee friendly ( how else to keep certain people in power ) schedule which gives them way too many four day weekends and 10 hour paid holidays weren't such a concern to the people of this town who pay their salaries, then perhaps you wouldn't see so many posts about the topic. Many people send in subjects they would like to see discussed on this blog, if you don't agree with them, don't comment. I don't remember anyone voting you the town mayor/blog critique recently. Perhaps we missed that article in the paper too.<br /><br />If you don't like the articles that we put up for discussion that others think are important then choose to post your comments elsewhere.. or perhaps go start start your own blog and post whatever topics you'd like to have on it.. oh that's right you did and no one commented on it.<br /><br /><br />the Winchester Informerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458697269098575036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-84238262895263672712016-08-07T14:11:08.732-04:002016-08-07T14:11:08.732-04:00Get over it - it's just an old house in a town...Get over it - it's just an old house in a town full of old houses.<br />What will really impact Winchester for decades to come is the students sent to Keene issue.<br />That got ONE comment.<br />Shuffling the hours for town employees got 37 comments<br />Blog readers are more interested in criticizing town employees- as usual - than where their kids would go to school or the impact on tax rates.<br />I'm SO glad we saved that eyesore "historic Doctor" house - it adds so much to winchesters downtrodden downtown.<br />The Sentinel published a very positive front page piece in their weekend paper 2 weeks ago - the informer, which usually reprints every town related article, chose not to post because it doesn't fit in with the us vs them conspiracy name calling promoted here.<br />A shooting range fits right in with the Winchester lack of quality of life: high school dropouts, teen pregnancies, cigarettes, beer, scratch tickets, shacks, shanties, mobile home parks.Trumplestilskinnoreply@blogger.com
