My husband and I have suffered from chronic back pain for decades. It got worse as we aged, and we found ourselves avoiding walking and lifting. The less we moved, the worse we felt. We were trapped in a cycle; it felt like there was no way out. One day I noticed that lifting a […]
Never before have we endorsed a political candidate with a public statement. However, in this instance, and in these troubled times, we believe that Stuart (“Stu”) Green, of Andover, is a very worthy candidate, running as a Democratic candidate for the New Hampshire Senate in District 7. Between 1994 and 2015 we lived in Andover, […]
I am 87, a vet, and a conservative in my commitment to opposing radical change in our Constitution. On November 5, I will vote for Democrats up and down the ballot because they will defend the Constitution and the rule of law. They advocate positive programs for our country and champion high moral values that […]
I’m writing to highlight recent activity, initiated by our neighbor, that may be of interest to the broader Andover community. The owner of the Highland Lake Inn, Andover Select Board member Pecco Beaufays, has proposed building a six-unit condominium housing complex, to be sited in the hayfield adjacent to the Inn. As he explained it […]
The first time I didn’t meet Dan Innis was unsurprising. In 2014 he ran for Congress in New Hampshire’s Eastern District and I live in the Western District. His campaign called for privatizing social security. It attracted big checks but few votes. The second time I didn’t meet Dan Innis was more surprising. I worked […]
I read a letter from Karen Cangiano in the Hillsborough Messenger (9/13/2024). She appears to support Stu Green. All of her letter needs context and fact but I will limit my reply to her commentary regarding Dan Innis: “Innis voted against reproductive freedom and for the suppression of free speech in the classroom, has also […]
Will our nation peacefully ride out the oppressive, majoritarian impulses of dueling political adversaries locked in an existential struggle? To use a couple of timeworn clichés, we have veered off our path and are now staring into an abyss. Too many of us have forgotten our American selves, believing that, when the fate of the […]
On September 4, the Environment and Agriculture Committee held a subcommittee meeting relative to the interim study of HB 1685, a bill I introduced for the purpose of deregulating the homemade foods industry, which seeks to lift burdensome and oftentimes confusing laws, to include allowing the production of foods requiring refrigeration, such as meat meals […]
SALISBURY – My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of William Leber of Andover, who died on September 1. Bill served in many organizations and was a New Hampshire State Representative for four terms, beginning in 1996. He was a great person and helped many people during his life. October is here […]
Prior to 1971, the legal voting age had been twenty-one. The drafting of eighteen-year-olds to fight in the Vietnam war, prompted the argument, “old enough to fight, old enough to vote”. The United States Constitution amended the legal voting age to eighteen. I registered to vote shortly after my eighteenth birthday and the first presidential […]
