I have had the privilege of getting to know Deborah Aylward personally and can say for a fact that she is not all talk, but a woman of action. Besides standing up for the citizens of Hill who were opposed to a proposed gravel pit, I am aware of her interacting with state agency personnel, […]
Sometimes I am asked why I am running for the New Hampshire Senate District 7. Certainly not for the $100 annual salary! And not for the huge cost in time, taking me away from my other professional responsibilities and my family. Those come with the turf of running a political campaign. I am running because […]
In Louise Andrus’ advertisement in the August Beacon, she quoted James Freeman Clarke: “The difference between a politician and a statesman is that a politician thinks about the next election, while the statesman thinks about the next generation.” Sage words that I hope our representative reflects upon to put her term into context. Lack of […]
Ken and Lee Wells are our next door neighbors. We could not ask for better! We know we can call them in an emergency and also just for help in moving something heavy or figuring out the computer. Ken’s response has always been “I’ll be right there.” Over the years we have become good friends, […]
New Hampshire is blessed with an abundance of small independent farms. The best tomato I’ve ever tasted came from Tim Gallagher’s Windswept Farm in Salisbury. The eggs we get from Cedartree Farm, also in Salisbury, are so delicious that they’ve ruined eggs for me elsewhere. Donna and Phil at Huntoon Farm in Danbury have great […]
An organization, WeThePeopleNH.org, states that New Hampshire elections are vulnerable using programmable voting machines. This is a lie. Don’t want to trust me? Call the Secretary of States office for the facts at 603 271-3246 or email Elections@nullsos.nh.gov. Let me assure voters in Franklin and all of New Hampshire they have nothing to fear. The […]
Another successful election is wrapped up! We are impressed again and again by our wonderful town. We are so grateful to all who helped out and all who turned out to vote! We received help and support from JJ’s, the Hub, the police, the faculty, staff, and students of AE/MS, the Select Board, all of […]
In my opinion, Representative Andrus displays the same blindness toward the abortion discussion as do some of her like-minded Republican associates. Early in her big ad, published in the August Beacon, she states that she is pro-life and pro-limited government. Later on, she praises a definition of “Liberty”: “The quality or state of being free. […]
I’m Lorna Carlisle and I am running for State Representative in District 5 (Andover, Danbury, Hill, Salisbury and Webster). I’m a Webster native and now a Salisbury resident for 18 years. After retiring in 2021, I was able to devote myself full time to the farm stand we started in 2005. I looked forward to […]
I write, with enthusiasm, to support the candidacy of Mike Cryans, as he runs for the New Hampshire Executive Council, District 2, a post he has served before with great distinction. Mike’s qualities hardly need repeating. He is known for his honesty, integrity, and effectiveness as a leader. Other laudable qualities include discipline, strength, commitment, […]
