News from Concord

By Deborah Aylward

Encountering Congressional Candidate Lily Tang Williams at a recent fundraising event and after hearing her very compelling story of overcoming communism to arrive in our great country where she has the freedom to pursue representation of District 2 citizens in Congress, I found that despite her petite stature, she is a real spitfire dedicated to […]

By Louise Andrus

May the Christmas Season bring only happiness and joy to you and your family. Let us look forward to a more prosperous 2024. On January 3 and January 4, 2024, the New Hampshire House will be in session, and we hold open the possibility of January 11, if needed. There were about 200 bills that […]

Veterans, thank you for your service defending our freedom. Families of Veterans thank you for the sacrifice of your loved ones to defend our freedom.

Kent Hackman Unearths Historical Nuggets for Andover

By Chuck Will

In reference to Kent Hackman’s letter to The Beacon entitled “Uriah and Mary N. Chase Research Project Completed,” I must point out that Kent is being characteristically modest regarding his work. As a proofreader for this project, I can attest that his research has unearthed some historical gold nuggets for the people of Andover.  In […]

Reader Pens Response to Louise Andrus’s August “View”

By Marie D. Nardino

Louise Andrus provides us with her “View from Concord” on a monthly basis in The Beacon.  I found her August View to be somewhat of a contradiction on a number of levels. She states that she is now taking some Constitution classes (I hope not with PragerU) and provides her interpretation that both the New […]

Deborah Aylward’s View from Concord — September

By Deborah Aylward

Imagine being able to cook up a big batch of your award-winning, homemade chili, and selling it right from your residence, or having the ability to sell your signature cheesecakes or pumpkin pies! Further, imagine not being forced by law to submit acidified products (for example, pickles, relish) known to be shelf-stable to a food […]

Reader Urges Exercise Enthusiasts to Wear Reflective Clothing

By Connie Ressler

Several times lately, I have observed Andover and East Andover residents jogging or riding their bicycles. These times have been at dusk, and those individuals have not been wearing reflective clothing. Please protect yourselves. None of us want to hear of a tragedy. Reflective clothing and sneakers are widely available. Connie Ressler East Andover
