Barnstead Old Home Day
We Need More People To Help!


Barnstead Old Home Day is in need of volunteers to join the Old Home Day Committee and help organize Old Home Day 2011.  Old Home Day 2010 did not occur because we did not have enough people to help run the Old Home Day Committee. Don’t let that happen again this year!


The 2011 Old Home Day Committee is having its first meeting on Wednesday, October 13, 2010, at 6:30 p.m. at the Town Hall. We are starting our planning particularly early this year because we need to regroup after the cancellation of the 2010 Old Home Day.  Please join us and show your support for Barnstead Old Home Day by agreeing to volunteer to help plan the 2011 event.


If you are not able to attend the October 13 meeting, but do want to help, please call Peggy Sweeney at 435-6505 or Eileen Murley at 435-6692 for more information.

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor:
Now we see the onslaught of bounteous corporate money sponsoring TV ads about candidates. My most unfavorite comes from the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and undermines Paul Hodes’ campaign for the U. S. Senate. Those of us who’ve followed his 2-term career in the U. S. Congress know Paul Hodes is superbly suited to represent New Hampshire, and represent all fairly. The ad is so bad that it disconcerts local Chambers of Commerce, I read in the papers.


This incursion of big corporate money to influence our elections is what Granny D analyzed early and worked to forestall. Now the grand lady of courage and foresight is no longer with us. She died in March at more than 100 years old. We celebrate our “Laconia-born girl,” however. This coming Thursday night, at 6:00 p.m. at Steele Hill Resort in Sanbornton, sees our 4th Annual Doris “Granny D” Haddock Evening. Belknap County Democrats, your host, urge all county and Senate District 4 voters to come (this district also includes two towns out of county, New Durham and Strafford).
Our October 7th celebratory event includes speakers, candidates, high-end appetizers, silent auction, Peggo Hodes singing, time to have those political conversations that beg having. Please support, again, more, your Democratic party’s work, and be at this event. Tickets are $20 each. Call Ed Allard at 366-2575 to hold a ticket for you, for a family member, for a friend. See you there.


Sincerely,
Lynn Rudmin Chong

 


 

Letter


I wish to thank the voters of Barnstead, Center Barnstead, Chichester, Epsom, Gilmanton, Gilmanton Iron Works, Northwood, and Pittsfield who supported me in the recent Primary. I had the privilege of meeting and talking to thousands of voters in the Suncook Valley area about my conservative message of “Cut the Spending,” Transparency, and Total Accountability in government.


Although our efforts came up short, it was an excellent showing against two good candidates with strong outstanding name recognition and years of political experience.
I will continue to push hard with that message while helping the successful Republican candidates for the House, the Senate, the Executive Council, Governor, Congress, and the United States Senate win in November.


Many taxpayers have had enough and realize that more fiscally responsible elected officials are needed to cut the spending and restore New Hampshire to the business-friendly, good job-producing place to raise a family it once was. And to that end, a special thanks for all those hard-working people who helped me with parades, financial support, allowing me to place signs on their property and standing at the polls for me on Primary Election Day.


I will never forget your support and encouragement. Thank you all and Best Regards.
Jim Adams


Republican Candidate for Executive Council
