Letter To The Editor

Dear Editor:
I want to take this opportunity to express my support for Representative Tony Soltani in the upcoming state election for the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

Representative Soltani has, over the many years, served his community and this state zealously with the steadfast determination to improve their welfare. Tony has shown that he is willing to take a stance regardless of what is considered the popular political position; he is more concerned about what is right under the circumstances for the benefit of his constituents, rather than personal advancement or the wishes of the Concord establishment. New Hampshire, Epsom and Pittsfield in particular,  are fortunate to have a person of his integrity and caliber serving them.

I urge voters to return him to office this next election. The primary is on September, 11, 2012.

Steven O. Booth, Prof. SNHU

Carolyn Puffer, Guidance Counselor

Mrs. Puffer has a BA in Fine Arts from Tufts University and a Masters in Education (specific to counseling) from UNH. This is her 19th year at ECS.

Mrs. Puffer seems ideally suited for her position as she sits quietly in her comfortable office, listening carefully to everything said to her. Mrs. Puffer’s main responsibilities are to do what she can to insure the emotional and physical well-being of ECS students, whether from student inquiry or referral from teachers.

She is the 504 Plans Coordinator and creates accommodation plans for students with handicapping conditions who do not require special education.

Mrs. Puffer also works with the Student Assistance Team to discuss students  whom parents and teachers have concerns, whether academic, social, or behavioral. She was, for seven years, the Title IV project manager for safe and drug free schools. Mrs. Puffer loves interacting with and helping both adults and students. It is a tribute to her that, although Mrs. Puffer could retire, she continues to do what she loves to do; helping people. She would like to remind everyone that children are our most precious resource and must know how much we all care for them.

Mrs. Puffer is a widow and has two adult children, a son living in Maryland who coaches elite female soccer players, and a daughter who works as a graphic artist in Manhattan. In her spare time, she loves to be outdoors exercising, visiting with her family, and supporting her church. She is just starting to learn what to do with her spare time and is considering resurrecting her Fine Arts talents.

You Little Twerp!

I would love nothing better than to meet Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan this campaign. If I could, I would grab him by the ear and bark: You! Stop! Commingling Social Security funds with the General fund! You little twerp! (I often use “twerp” endearingly.)

The original “tax fighter” (Ronald) Reagan must have rolled over in his grave long ago. While President Reagan did lower the individual marginal income tax rate from 70% to 50%, he signed into law 11 tax increases. The most historic being a compromise with “Tip” O’Neil  which was “the” permanent fix for ‘baby boomer’ Social Security recipients. America’s Social Security “Account” is solvent until the late 2030s! Unless Romney-Ryan get their hands on it.

I believe most of us want to “conserve” things like Social Security, Medicare, solid national “defense”. Most of us are “conservative” when it comes to keeping good personal credit ratings, good business credit ratings and we liked America’s “AAA” credit rating, which we lost in 2010 due to the histrionics of the “2010 Congressional Tea Party”.

Note: I respect the original grassroots “tea partiers”. But the “brand” Tea Party was quickly co-opted by that same ole George W. Bush crowd... It’s almost as though the likes of Carl Rove, Dick Armey and Paul Ryan planned their two unfunded wars, two unfunded tax cuts, ran our economy off the cliff hoping they could get away with “stealing” from old people and the disabled.

Let’s truly vote our “values”.

Letter

 

To our constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
We’re starting to think about bills to file for next year, and would love to have your help in identifying problems or issues with the current laws or regulations. Unlike Congress, or other states, in New Hampshire bills can only be filed in a short time period – but again unlike Congress, every bill gets a public hearing and a committee vote, and is voted on by the entire House.

 

This year bills can be filed during 10 days in September, and then during a three week window after the election. In order to do the necessary research and line up co-sponsors, we like to put our bills in during September. Anyone with an issue with the laws or rules is invited to meet with us on Wednesday, September 5, from 5 to 7 pm, at the Epsom Library.

 

Interested readers can email Carol for her newsletter.

Epsom’s Old Home Day 2012

 

This year’s Old Home Day was by far the best organized yet. The people of Epsom owe a debt of gratitude to Georgia and Gary Perry for taking time off from their jobs and giving their free time to organize the committee so that our Old Home Day went off without a hitch.

 

Unless you were involved in the process, you can’t imagine how much planning it takes. We start meeting in April or May. It is amazing how much time it takes to make all the phone calls, the mailings, and contacts to raise some of the money. Georgia does all the bookkeeping. I must say she doesn’t miss a thing. They plan for the Bean Hole Bean Supper, the acts on the stage and they work on the parade and organize the Duck Race. They do most of the ordering, picking up and bringing back, setting up and taking down, getting out and putting back. Unless you saw for yourself, you would never know how much time and energy they put into Epsom’s Old Home Day.

 

Of course there are many other people involved, and I thank them all for helping out. Without them we couldn’t possibly have pulled it off. Working together is the key to success, and this year was a success.

 

If anyone is interested in volunteering next year, please call. We can always use more help.

 

Thank you all,
Richard Frambach

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

We highly recommend Tony Soltani for re-election. We have known Tony for many years and have been impressed with his record in the House of Representatives. He has shown a high regard for life, family, fiscal and Constitutional issues. We place high importance on matters of family and life that comes up in New Hampshire. Tony has shown that he holds these same values. Tony has also shown that he does what he says and has an impressive understanding of law and how it works in the legislature.

 

Please be sure to research the candidates thoroughly and we believe you will vote for Tony Soltani of Merrimack County District  21, Epsom and Pittsfield.

 

The Primary election is September 11, 2012, and the general election is in November.   

 

Sincerely,

Rev. George E. Reese Jr., Rev. Karen Lee Reese, Ian Reese, Sean C. Reese
Epsom
