Cady Announces Candidacy

 

Harriet Cady announces her candidacy for State Representative. Cady previously served in the legislature from 2002 through 2006. She was appointed to the Right to Know Commission by then Governor Benson and served for four years.

 

Cady has been active in Deerfield and is presently serving on the Deerfield Budget Committee, Cable Committee and as Deerfield’s Supervisor of the Checklist. She was appointed last year to represent Deerfield on the Lamprey River Watershed Commission to protect the water rights as well as represent landowners.

 

From 1970 through 1979 Cady served on the Southern NH Planning Commission where she worked on their Executive Committee, Office Staffing Committee and Budget Committee. In 1978, Governor John Sununu appointed her to the Health Licensing Agency.

 

Cady was Chairman of the Raymond Recreation Commission for 7 years,  during which time the Onaway Beach was built, and also served five years on the Raymond Conservation Commission, where she wrote the grant to map all town lands. As a result of this grant and subsequent work, the Little League Fields were built off Old Manchester Road.

 

Cady’s special interest is to assure all constituents receive help with any agency, keep taxes low according to what’s needed for state government and not to fund that which are founders did not put into the NH Constitution as public responsibility.

 


 

Letter
The New Math

 

I’ve been hearing a lot recently about budgets.  Some budgets balance when you run the numbers, and actually close deficits and reduce debt over time. President Obama’s 2013 proposed budget does this. 

 

There are budgets that can’t be run, according to their authors, Mitt Romney has one of them. (My opinion: if you haven’t run or can’t run the numbers on your budget, you don’t have one. It’s kind of the whole point.)

 

There are budgets that will only achieve their stated goals if we make cuts that the author refuses to enumerate; that’s the Ryan budget. 

 

In the fall of 2010, during the election, the NH GOP claimed there was an $800 million deficit in the Democrats’ 2009-2011 budget, but miraculously when the budget cycle ended in 2011, there was a $17 million surplus! That’s the new math.

 

There is no question that math is hard for some. But budgeting is not calculus, or even algebra. It’s addition and subtraction.  A real budget will have enough numbers and clear assumptions about the future to make it possible to get real results. Otherwise it’s just smoke and mirrors.

What NH Voters Need To Know About The Photo ID Law For 2012

 

Every New Hampshire citizen who is 18 years old or older has the Constitutional right to vote. The right to vote is not changed by the Photo ID Law. The Photo ID Law has no impact on registering to vote. The right to register to vote on the day of the election is not changed.

 

Below are the changes to expect when registered voters check in with the Ballot Clerks on Election Day.

 

September 11, 2012 State Primary

• Voters will not be required to show a valid photo ID to the Ballot Clerks in order to get a ballot.

• Ballot Clerks will request a valid photo ID and offer a handout explaining the future requirements of the photo ID law to any voter who doesn’t show one.

 

November 6, 2012 General and Presidential Election

Voters will have two options to get a ballot at the polls:
1. Show a valid photo ID to the Ballot Clerks or
2. Sign an affidavit

 

Valid photo IDs for November 6, 2012 include:
• A driver’s license from New Hampshire or any other state regardless of expiration date.
• A non-driver’s photo ID issued by New Hampshire
• A United States armed services identification card
• A United States passport regardless of expiration date
• Any other valid photo ID from federal, state, county, or municipal government
• A valid student identification card
• A photo ID deemed acceptable by the Moderator, Supervisor of the Checklist or Town Clerk
• Verification of a person’s identity by the Moderator, Supervisor of the Checklist or Town Clerk

 

Any voter who uses an affidavit to get a ballot on November 6, 2012, will receive a letter from the Secretary of State after the election requesting the voter to confirm that he or she voted. There is no penalty for voters who do not respond to the letter. The letter will also contain instructions about how to obtain a free state-issued voter photo ID.

 

Any voter who doesn’t respond to the Secretary of State’s letter within 90 days will be contacted by the Attorney General’s office and requested to confirm whether he or she voted. There is no penalty for voters who do not respond to a letter from the Attorney General.

 

Voting by absentee ballot does not require a voter ID.

To Northwood residents:
On behalf of the cemetery trustee committee, we are still looking for students to help paint the fence next to the high school. We are also walking our town cemeteries and are finding broken stones and tipped over stones. We are saddened this is happening and are looking for volunteers from the school who need the community hours to help with the fixing of these stones, and to clean up the cemeteries.

 

We take great pride in our town’s past and the people that spent their lives here. They asked for this to be there final resting place, to never leave home, and yet their final mark in this world is being abused or neglected and we need to fix this problem.

 

We are also asking if people are visiting these cemeteries and you see a stone tipping, do not to try to fix it. Sometimes this makes it worse and it could fall over.

 

We are asking for all vandalism to stop and, please understand, at one time these were residents of this town and are our ancestors. They deserve better than this treatment.

 

So, if you need community hours please call Janet at 942-5187.

 

Janet Delfuoco-Goad
Northwood Cemetery Trustee

In response to Lucy Edwards’ letter of August 15, 2012:
Lucy Edwards knows what she believes and she’s going for it. Good for her.

 

On the other hand, as a Mitt Romney for President supporter, I know what I see and that’s why I’m going for what I believe in!

Letter To The Editor

 

Last year there was many issues that were so wrong with the Northwood School Support Staff Contract that I was totally against it.  Predominately, it was costed out very wrong.  No one who could have done something about it would. I came to the conclusion that they all knew it and wanted to slip it by you.  You were smarter than they thought. They all agree now that it was costed wrong and our SAU Business Administrator admits that he lost our bet, but is too cheap to pay me my nickel. I did ask you to vote to allow us to renegotiate the contract and bring it back to you. You did. Thank you. That is where we are at.

 

Everything that is wrong with the Northwood School Board is reflected in this contract procedure. The negotiations, the attention to details, not sticking to our number one issue, a three year contract, to just plain doing our job and thereby  prolonging this deal for months.  Shame on us.

 

I don’t have any right to tell you how to vote. I don’t know how I’ll vote yet. These people deserve a raise but there are way too many issues with this contract.

 

Please come to the Deliberative session Tuesday Sept. 4th, at the school, at 7 pm and ask questions. Give us your opinion. Get a contract. Read it and see if it is what you expected and want. Call me at 942-5463 and I’ll get you one.
