Letter
To The Editor
To the
Editor,
“We
hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office,”
Aesop.
We hear
a lot about the “Rule of Law.” It is the principal that all people
and institutions are subject to and accountable to law that is
fairly applied and enforced. In no other issue have we meandered so
far from a founding principal than this one. To suggest that we are
a nation of laws is laughable. Oh, we have the laws but the
enforcement of them is the problem. From local police picking and
choosing which laws to enforce, judges deciding which to follow or
not, States like ours that give up, Federal agencies that just
disregard those laws that they don’t like to a President that is
quite willing to not only disregard many laws that he just doesn’t
like but tells his Federal Agencies to not enforce them. We do not
have an immigration problem, we have an enforcement problem.
What
right does anyone have to disregard any law that has been voted on
by a towns voters, a State Legislature or the U. S. Congress. Yet it
is done daily, no, hourly. My family used to own pet stores. When a
child was misbehaving I never thought that the kid was to blame. It
is the parents that allow it, or not.
We have
allowed the “Rule of Law” standard to be bastardized by electing
very poor candidates and those who support them. Barack Obama is not
the King of the U.S.A. He is arguably the worst ever President
surrounded by a really browned nosed support staff, Shaheen, Kuster
and Shea-Porter.

story with some great music.
Slick
big-city sports agent Rob Decker is determined to sign a high school
baseball superstar. But when he becomes stranded in a small town, he
notices how the simplicity of life---and the faith of the
people---stands in stark contrast to his own win-at-all-costs
mindset. Torn between these two worlds, will Rob have the courage to
let God transform him? Ring the Bell features special appearances of
Casting Crowns, Steven Curtis Chapman, Matthew West, and others.

on the lawn. Free popcorn, refreshments and drinks will be provided.

Letter
To The Editor
Northwood Lakes
As the
campaign season heats up, I want to write about some specific issues
that I care about. In this case, lakes.
In
1975, I had a sabbatical year off from teaching at Colgate
University. One of the key reasons for choosing to spend that year
at the Whittemore School at UNH was water. As I drove over the
bridge connecting Newington to Dover Point on a sunny summer day,
the beauty of the Great Bay and the Piscataqua River was stunning.
“I can see spending a year here,” I thought.
During
that year, I enjoyed paddling my canoe on the Lamprey River and
learning to sail at the UNH Recreation Area on Mendum’s Pond. I
never went back to Colgate. And when I looked, an old farmhouse on
five acres with waterfront – on Jenness Pond – became my home. No
indoor plumbing? No central heat? No matter.
Thus
began my deeper involvement in the health of that lake and a greater
awareness of the importance of this resource statewide.
I
joined the Jenness Pond Shoreowners Association, and when invasive
milfoil became a threat, in 2002, I wrote the grant and directed the
Lake Host program to inspect boats coming in and out of the lake.
I
joined the NH Lakes Association and the Society for the Protection
of NH Forests. And now I serve on the Northwood Conservation
Commission.
Lakes
and their watersheds are an enormously important resource from both
a quality-of-life and economic standpoint. They attract hundreds of
thousands of tourists who contribute 8% of every dollar they spend
on food and lodging to state revenues. And shoreline property
owners pay a significant share of town taxes.
Northwood has 10 lakes in or on its borders. If elected, I will be
their steward.
