Voters can make their own determination about risk

If yes, Governor Sununu says you can protect yourself and others by using an absentee ballot to vote by mail in the primary and general elections. The Secretary of State and the Attorney General believe that citizens concerned […]

In Louise Andrus’s Opinion piece, published in the June Beacon, she ends with the statement “I believe the election in the Fall will decide New Hampshire’s future, either Freedom or Socialism.” In my opinion, that’s a false choice.

The May issue of the Andover Beacon was full of interesting stories and articles about the people of Andover, and what they were doing to keep busy during their stay-at- home time due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic. I found the articles concerning Andover’s businesses to be very helpful in letting me know which ones […]
Our community is well served by physical distancing and wearing masks, as well as by the many efforts around town to maintain our social connections despite the need for physical distance.
