Gayle Bestick: Whoever buys Tilton field should save and protect it
Shame on the Tilton Selectboard for their plan to auction the town owned property U07 9-1, a 0.39-acre parcel. The property was owned by Clarida Cannon (a Boston Post Cane Recipient) until her passing at over 100 years, when the family sold the property. The property was purchased and “the field” was subdivided. Unfortunately, the owner faced foreclosure on both parcels. The town took the subdivided property by tax deed in 2015. That parcel was auctioned, and the winner backed out of the deal, losing his deposit; the second awarded bidder declined, the town was able to keep the deposit. A Cedar Street abutter (actual third bidder) had offered cash in hand several times prior to the original auction, and who had met with the selectboard, unfortunately they were not granted the right to purchase the lot. Their intention was to purchase the lot, add it to their parcel, and place an easement on the property so the field would never be developed. It is considered by the abutters and other residents of the tree street neighborhoods to be a wildlife corridor for deer, bear, fox, and other natural wildlife.
Dawn Johnson: If elected she would always be available to hear concerns
I read another one of the letters from a writer who is part of a coordinated letter writing campaign to discredit me as a candidate for the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Who is behind this character assassination? Why are they afraid of me representing our city in Concord? Could they be afraid I can’t be bought or influenced by special interest groups? My votes both in Concord and on the city’s school board were always based on protecting the rights of all our citizens, both young and old alike. Apparently, these letter writers don’t like my style when I voice my concerns when fighting to protect these rights. If in order to be heard by the establishment I raise my voice in defense of our community, then I am guilty.
