Hands-on Classes teach families how to
prepare healthy and affordable meals
LANCASTER — “Cooking
Matters® for Families” is once
again scheduled for the Lancaster area and interested families are encourage to register
with UNH Cooperative Extension today.
The six-week program is
scheduled for Tuesdays at St.
Paul’s Episcopal Church in
Lancaster. Dates include: October 9, 16, 23, 30, and November 6, 13 from 5 - 7 p.m. Income
eligible families with children
ages 8 to 12 are being recruited
to participate in this hands-on
learning opportunity.
Sponsored nationally by the
ConAgra Foods® Foundation
and
Walmart,
Cooking
Matters® now serves more than
1,000 families per month and in
2010 reached more than 10,000
families across the country.
Eighty-seven percent of participants report improving their
cooking skills after graduating
from a Cooking Matters®
course.
The Share our Strength’s
Cooking Matters® courses are
led by local volunteer culinary
and nutrition experts who combine hands-on food preparation
with practical nutrition, food
budgeting and shopping techniques. Weeks Medical Center
of Lancaster area and UNH
Cooperative Extension in Coös
County will be co-teaching this
exciting program to area families. This fall’s program has
special funding from the Council
for Children & Adolescents with
Chronic Health Conditions.
“Working with Share Our
Strength to provide Cooking
Matters® classes helps people in
our community gain the skills
they need so they can eat better
and meet their budget needs,”
said Project Coordinator Heidi
Barker, a Nutrition Educator
for UNH Cooperative Extension.
“Last spring, we had several
families graduate from our firstever Cooking Matters® class.
We are looking forward to filling
another class and having fun
cooking with Weeks’ chef Mike
Holland and the rest of the volunteer team!”
The
ConAgra
Foods®
Foundation is committed to
enable all children to get the
nourishment they need today so
that they can flourish tomorrow.
We partner with Cooking
Matters® to give parents and
caregivers the tools they need to
provide their families with
nutritious, enjoyable meals—
even when their budgets might
be very tight,” said Kori Reed,
vice president of Cause and
Foundation at ConAgra Foods®.
“Not only do families make a
meal in class, but they also go
home with a bag of ingredients
to practice the recipe with other
family members. Cooking
Matters® has really put together a great program to help participants feel more comfortable
about cooking and understanding healthy eating concepts,”
shares culinary expert Mike
Holland of Weeks Medical
Center.

BUT, you will be allowed to
vote in November, without photo ID, IF you execute a “challenged voter affidavit.”
“If you filled out a ‘challenged
voter affidavit’ in order to vote
on Election Day, you will receive
a verification letter from the
Secretary of State, requesting
confirmation that you voted in
the election. If you do not
respond in writing to the
Secretary of State within 90
days of the date it was mailed,
the Attorney General will conduct an investigation to determine whether fraudulent voting
occurred.”
This law discriminates
against older adults like me,
among others, who may never
have had a driver’s license,
attended college, had military
service, or may not be recognized by anyone at the voting
center. (I have lived in this town
for 25 years, always voted, but
not one officiating person at the
poll could verify my identity).
For your free photo ID, plan
on the expense of a taxi, or ask a
friend or relative to drive you to
the town/city clerk or to the
Secretary of State’s office in
Concord for a vouch, then to a
DMV office that issues identification.
Be sure to answer the
Attorney General’s letter questioning fraud within 90 days, if
you used a ‘challenged voter
affidavit’ in order to exercise
your right to vote. (All quotations are from the Voter ID

Joe Gibbs’ hard-to-fathom,
two-sport career has become
statistically symmetrical. Consider: Three Super Bowl championships? Check. Three NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series championships? Check. Triple-digit
wins in the NFL? Check. Tripledigit wins in the NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series? Well, after
two-plus decades in the sport,
Gibbs can check that rare milestone off the list, too. With
Denny Hamlin’s dominant win
at New Hampshire Motor
Speedway Sunday, Joe Gibbs
Racing (JGR) reached a rare
milestone, becoming only the
sixth team in NASCAR Sprint
Cup history to reach 100 victories. Hamlin’s supremacy came
after his No. 11 crew avoided
the gaffes that dogged it in
Chicago last week when he ran
out of gas. On Friday, Hamlin
had another setback when his
crew had the wrong air pressure
in his tires and he qualified
32nd. Hendrick teammates
Jimmie Johnson and Jeff
Gordon finished second and
third, respectively. Johnson’s
run moved him in command of
the Chase points, one over Brad
Keselowski and seven ahead of
Hamlin. The win was a serieshigh five for Hamlin who also

won in New Hampshire in 2007.
He has finished in the top three
in five of the past seven races at
the “Magic Mile.”
With only one top-five to his
name through the first seven
races on the AmericanCanadian Tour in 2012, Ray
Parent didn’t set his expectations very high as the series
made its annual stop at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway.
But thanks to a hard-working
crew and a smartly run race,
Parent took a “feel good” story to
another level with a payday
worth over $6,000 on Saturday
at New Hampshire Motor
Speedway, picking up his firstever ACT victory in the 4th
Annual Bond ACT Invitational.
Parent upset Serie ACT Castrol
Champion Patrick Laperle, and
former Invitational winner Joey
Polewarczyk, Jr., for the emotional win. “I can’t say enough
about how hard my guys work,”
said Parent, a native of
Tiverton, R.I. “This is just unbelievable. This feels so good and
it’s so great to see all that hard
work pay off with us standing
here in Victory Lane at New
Hampshire.” Parent took advantage of the timely Lap 15 caution, after starting 20th on the
field, thrilling the encouraging

crowd with a four-wide move on
the following restart to break
into the top five. Wasting no
time, he ducked underneath
again for another three-wide
move moments later, and by lap
19 he had stolen the lead from
young hopeful Jimmy Hebert.
The caution-riddled 50-lap
affair came down to the final 15
laps at “The Magic Mile.” Parent
battled Joey Polewarczyk of
Hudson, N.H., for several laps
before tearing ahead to take a
lead he’d never relinquish for
the final six circuits. ACT point
leader Helliwell, raced his way
to fourth, with Rolfe on his tail
in fifth. Former K&N Pro Series
Driver Tom Carey, Jr. came
home sixth, with 8-time ACT
Champion Brian Hoar seventh,
rookie Ben Lynch eighth, and
two Ontario drivers: Dan
McHattie and fellow Kawartha
Speedway competitor Bryan
Mercer, completing the top ten.

returned to the site of his first
career NNS victory earlier this
year to double up with what is
now his second series win, capturing Saturday’s Kentucky
300. Dillon, who started the race
from the pole, regained the lead
on Lap 151, slingshotting
around Elliott Sadler to eventually build a three-second advantage before finishing with a
1.059-second margin of victory
over runner-up Sam Hornish Jr.
Dillon led 65 laps (Sadler led
the most with 93), but the most
important thing is he took the
checkered flag nonetheless. “We

Kennett High School, evening
workshops at 6:30 p.m. at the
Jeanne Limmer Dance Center)
and Tuesday, October 2 and
Friday, November 2 at 3:30 p.m.
at the Holderness School.
During the workshops students will be guided through a
series of writing or movement
challenges focused on developing critical skills for communication, collaboration and selfexpression. The workshop environment will be both nurturing
and demanding—with respect
for multiple viewpoints, cultures
and artistic styles. Participants
will learn how to create a personal vocabulary (poetry) and
choreographic language (movement) by exploring relevant
issues in their own lives and
communities. The spoken word
material can serve as inspiration for creation of a dance
piece, and the resulting collaborative work can be shared at the
end of the workshops; some participants may also wish to present their work at the public performances.
The poetry workshops will be
led by Tu Phan, a student at
Northeastern University; his
poetry, inspired by hip hop, rap,
and satirical, historical and
spiritual literature, focuses on
socioeconomic, environmental
and political concepts. Dance
workshops will be led by Anna
Myer (“a master choreographer
who is always full of surprises
and new ideas”) and company
members Adriane Rayton and
Karina Davis. Adriane trained
at the Boston Arts Academy and
Connecticut College and Karina,
a hip-hop dancer, studied at the
Alvin Ailey School and Williams
College.
No experience in the artforms is required. Those interested may contact Frumie Selchen of the Arts Alliance of
Northern New Hampshire at
323-7302,

The programs are presented
by the Arts Alliance in cooperation with Anna Myr and Dancers and the North American
Family Institute, and made possible through funding from the
New England Foundation for
the Arts’ Expeditions Program,
and, in North Conway, through
support of the Gary Millen
Foundation.
