Letter

 

Open Letter to Sen John Reagan:
In a “Letter to the Editor” last week I publically acknowledged you as being the one Republican senator who voted against a bill which would in effect potentially reduce or eliminate access to nutrition to more than 40,000 children in NH (SB7).  Naturally I assumed that you were such a strong supporter of children in need that you would vote against your party affiliation in order to protect NH children.

 

I was wrong! This morning I read that at the request of Education Commissioner Edelblut, you “introduced an amendment to HB 356 to vastly expand the role of the Commissioner of Education.” Among the many other unwise changes this bill would make is to assign Commissioner Edelblut as administrator of special education law and put him in control of the Division of Instruction for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and the Division of Career Technology and Adult Learning.

 

Frank Edelblut’s work background is as an accountant, auditor, and venture capitalist. His children are home schooled. He has no background in Education. I do have an educational background in Special Education, and have been working since 1969 with severely and multiply disabled children. It is unethical and unwise for the state of NH to put the education of these children in the hands on one man who has no experience with general or Special Education. Submitting your amendment and circumventing a public hearing on it indicates that you are attempting to undermine NH public education.

This Weekend’s LRPA After Dark Feature:
1954’s “Suddenly”

 

Join Lakes Region Public Access Television at 10:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday night (April 28 & 29) for this week’s “LRPA After Dark” encore presentation of 1954’s film noir crime drama “Suddenly,” starring Sterling Hayden and Ol’ Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra.

 

“Suddenly” tells the tale of three would-be assassins who come to the town of Suddenly, California, with murder on their minds: specifically, killing the President of the United States as he travels through on the train. They pose as FBI agents to gain entrance to a home, then take everyone hostage while they plan their despicable deed. Sinatra made this film hot off of his Oscar-winning role in “From Here to Eternity,” and was keen to play a villain. He did so to high critical praise. A sad footnote to this film is that allegedly,” Suddenly” is the film that Lee Harvey Oswald watched the evening before he shot President Kennedy to death in Dallas, TX.  Hollywood legend has it that, upon hearing this news, Sinatra demanded that “Suddenly” be pulled from any further film distribution. Because of this, many younger viewers have never had the chance to see this film, one that The New York Times hailed as “… a compact study of terror and suspense, with a bit of a nervous contemplation of a psychopathic character thrown in.”  If you’ve never seen “Suddenly,” you’re in a classic film treat! So grab your popcorn and join LRPA after dark for this crime drama from the past.
