Editorial
At long last, time to vote
 We’re finally down to the last week. Just a few more
days and the political commercials will stop running on
TV and radio, our pages will be filled with Christmas
ads instead of political pitches (we hope), phones will
no longer ring with political pollsters, and we will have
chosen a new president along with many other representatives.
Of course, that assumes no terrorist attacks, natural
disasters or nationwide lawsuits over voting to
muddy the decision, but we won’t go there.
For many people, the vote for our nation’s president is
the one time they actually go to the polls, kind of like
the folks who go to church only on Christmas or Easter.
We encourage you to make an informed choice and
exercise your right to vote. There are a lot of American
men and women around the world fighting wars to
make sure this country stays free and you maintain that
right. We’ve listed the polling places and hours on the
page to the right and the front page. See you there.

Food drive will help needy
Thanksgiving symbolizes a time of harvest and plenty.
Having enough to eat is something most of us take
for granted in New Hampshire. But not everyone has
enough. Some people, through no fault of their own,
must rely on area food pantries to feed themselves and
their families. Single-parent families, the unemployed,
the disabled – among others – find assistance through
these agencies. And this time of year, those who run the
pantries say supplies are dwindling
 Neighborhood News wants to help. That’s why we’re
having a drive to gather as much food as possible to
donate to local groups.
Please help us.
Bring your nonperishable food items to our office at
334 Route 101 in Bedford and drop them in the Morgan
Self-Storage bin in the parking lot.
We’ll do the rest, distributing the food to those that
help people in our coverage area before Thanksgiving.
You can also donate cash, by sending a check to
Neighborhood News, 334 Route 101, Bedford, NH
03110.
Show you care; give the needy in our midst enough
to have a plentiful holiday.

Help Moore School honor
memory of Marlene Thurston
To the Editor:
Our beloved Marlene
Thurston, former Moore School
teacher of over 25 years, passed
on this summer. The Moore
School staff would like to do
something in her memory ... perhaps
a granite bench in the
nature trails to be built by the
new Smyth Library or a tree
planted in her honor.
If you’d like to make a donation,
please send in a check
made out to Nancy Fraher with
the words “Marlene Thurston”
written in the memo line. If you
have ideas on other ways to
honor her, let us know. Contact
Pat at 483-8881.
Thank you!

Demand to be represented – vote for DeMarco for state rep.
To the Editor:
On Nov. 2, Hooksett citizens
should show the gang of politicians
currently controlling
Hooksett and Concord that you
demand to be truly represented.
A small group of Concord insiders
have been the only voice of
Hooksett for a quarter of a century.
The time is now to elect
representatives that will listen to
you, fight for what matters to
you, and proudly serve
Hooksett. Please, vote for me,
Greg DeMarco, and vote for
Eileen Ehlers and Matt Quiet as
your state representatives for
Hooksett.
This year’s Presidential election
is extremely important, but
don't underestimate the importance
of the state representatives
election. State representatives
write the laws governing
schools, insurance, wages,
healthcare, public health, voting,
family law, consumer protections,
boundaries for the U.S.
Congressional districts, and
pay-outs from state and federal
tax dollars, among many other
laws that directly affect all of us
in our daily lives as employees,
patients, parents, customers,
property owners, employers,
voters and taxpayers.
Can you remember the last
public meeting you attended in
Hooksett where the politicians
in Concord had to inform and
answer to the voters? Please talk
to your neighbors and research
the facts about the current powers
representing Hooksett in
Concord.
Do you know who in Concord
caused your Hooksett property
taxes to go up in 2004? Do you
know who in Concord is trying
to give your tax dollars away to
private boarding schools? Do
you know who in Concord has
been absent for 25 percent of
key votes in the House? Do you
know who in Concord turns his
back on the U.S. flag when the
rest of the House salutes the
flag? Do you feel that these
politicians really represent you
the way you expect?
If the current gang in Concord
does not represent you, then
isn't it time to demand to be
truly represented? I am committed
to changing the way you are
represented by listening to you,
fighting for the issues that matter
most to you, and making you
proud of your state representatives.
Please vote for me and the
rest of the Democratic ticket on
Nov. 2 and make sure your
demands to be represented are
heard.

Jim Oliver seeks support for state representative Nov. 2
To the Editor:
I want to thank everyone who
voted in the September primaries,
particularly those who voted
for me. Please give me the
opportunity to continue serving
you in the State House.
I oppose a sales or income
tax. I would like to see the education
funding equitably
resolved and eliminate donor
towns. Health insurance, prescription
costs and doctors’
medical malpractice insurance
must be brought under control.
I am a strong supporter of the
Second Amendment, the right to
bear arms. I do not support
measures to abolish licensing
for those who wish to carry a
concealed pistol/revolver.
I have been a public servant
for over 40 years: U.S. Army
soldier, NYPD detective, chief
of the Hooksett Police
Department.
I ask for your vote for another
term as one of your state representatives.

Tom St. Martin: I will do the job for a true citizen legislature
To the Editor:
I’m asking for your readers'
votes in Senate District 16
(Bow, Candia, Dunbarton,
Hooksett, Manchester Wards 1,
2, 12). In a recent newspaper
article, the incumbent (Ted
Gatsas) lists his top qualification:
“It’s important you have
the ability to put the time in
because it’s a time consuming
situation...”
He implies that only the rich
or retired need apply. Having
served as a state representative
(’93-’94), I knew before running
that the Senate is a full-time job.
If elected, it will mean sacrifice
from my family; we are neither
wealthy nor retired.
We have weighed that sacrifice
against the cost of two more
years of our current Senate, and
found it worthwhile. I urge voters
to check Ted’s record for
themselves. An excellent summary
is available at http://
www.nhcaaction.org/voter
guide.html.
I am committed to public education,
workers’ rights, civil
rights, and the preservation of
our environment. For more
information please visit
http://www.stmartinforsenate.
com.
To truly have a “citizen legislature,”
we must find ordinary
citizens who will make the sacrifice
of time and elect them. If
elected, I will put in the time
and effort to do the job.

Nord: I will focus on growth management and local concerns
To the Editor:
I would like to tell the citizens
of Candia, Deerfield, Northwood
and Nottingham why I am
running for state representative
in Rockingham District 1. I
believe that a state representative
is a public servant and I feel
strongly that some of our current
representatives put their
ideology ahead of the best interests
of our towns. When elected,
I will focus on concerns that are
important to the voters in our
district. I will pay close attention
to topics such as the
Northwood Growth Management
Ordinance and the USA
Springs Bottling Plant in
Nottingham and I will do all I
can to support the wellbeing of
our communities and schools.
I believe in active citizen participation
in government and I
will make certain that the citizens
of Candia, Deerfield,
Northwood and Nottingham are
well represented if you honor
me with your vote on Nov. 2.

As state rep., I will work toward equitable school funding
To the Editor:
I am candidate for the New
Hampshire House of Representatives,
District 8,
Allenstown, Epsom, and
Pittsfield.
I will work towards a longterm
equitable solution to
school funding. At the same
time, I would like to see property
tax relief for our homeowners.
I have decades of community
volunteer experience for the
Allenstown Conservation Commission,
Allenstown Historical
Society, Girl Scouts, the
American Red Cross, our public
schools, and other nonprofit
organizations.
In my professional life I am
an environmental engineer. I
have worked for universities,
hospitals and a power plant. My
degrees are from Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and
Stanford University.
If you would like to know my
view on a particular issue,
please call me at 485-9720 or email
me at bonk@alum.mit.edu.
I would appreciate your vote
on Nov. 2.

Allenstown
Allenstown and Epsom should vote for Rep. Ed Nutter
To the Editor:
Voters in Allenstown, Epsom
and Pittsfield will cast ballots
for four of eight candidates for
Representative to New
Hampshire’s General Court
come election day. Rep. Ed
Nutter is one choice.
I’ve worked with Rep. Nutter
toward the placement of historical
markers in recognition of
three patriots of the
Revolutionary War era. We’ve
met on several occasions with
personnel of the New
Hampshire Historical Resources
Commission seeking historical
markers to be placed in Epsom
to tell the story of Major
Andrew McClary’s valiant fight
for our freedom at Bunker Hill.
We’ve petitioned for a historical
marker to be placed in Pittsfield
to honor the dedication of
Jonathan “Jocky” Fogg during
the War for Independence and
we’ve also petitioned for a historical
marker to be located in
Barnstead to note Capt.
Jonathan Chesley’s fight for our
freedom prior to the Revolution
at Fort William and Mary in
New Castle.
I am impressed with Rep.
Nutter’s sincerity and capabilities.
His dedication to our continued
freedom is crystal clear.
A World War II veteran, now
retired from corporate life he
careered in the world of information
technology serving in
middle management positions
with AT&T, Ford, Xerox and
IBM. He then successfully ran
his own business and knows the
pressure of meeting payrolls for
1,500 employees.
Nutter has been well trained
for the work of New
Hampshire’s General Court.
Voters will do themselves, and
our state, a favor by including
him as one of their four choices.

Ehlers: I enter this race beholden to no special interest group
To the Editor:
I hope the turnout at
Tuesday’s polls is record-breaking,
and trust that voters have
done their homework. This is a
crucial election year!
I am asking for your vote for
state representative from Hooksett.
While much focus is on
presidential and Senate races,
the election of state and local
candidates is no less important.
The decisions that directly
affect your day-to-day status in
New Hampshire are made in
Concord.
I enter this race with no political
baggage, and beholden to
no special interest group. My
loyalty is to you, the Hooksett
voters, and all of our states’ citizens.
My reality check is “Who
benefits?”
When sitting representatives
rubber stamp the governor’s
agenda, is that true representation
of your well-being? Are
you aware of the intended
changes to Medicaid reimbursements?
Do you know that one of
the Hooksett legislators did not
vote in more than 25 roll calls?
Were you informed that all four
of Hooksett’s sitting representatives
voted against raising the
minimum wage? New
Hampshire has the lowest minimum
wage in New England, at
$5.15 an hour. You were not
worth 85 cents to the incumbents,
even as the bill came to a
tie vote in the House, broken
and defeated by the Republican
Speaker, Gene Chandler.
Fully one-half of our town’s
population – the female gender -
– is not represented in Concord.
All candidates were invited to
attend a listening session with
families of developmentally
delayed children. I was there.
It is my hope and intent to
replace one of the (current represenatives)
as your state representative.
A fresh perspective,
creative grassroots energy and
bipartisan cooperation for real
solutions are needed, and that is
what I offer.
I would appreciate one of
your four votes for state representative
on Tuesday. This year
you have a choice – for a
change.
Many thanks.

No one wants to report good news anymore in the paper
To the Editor:
No one wants to report good
news anymore.
I am talking about school students
doing outstanding community
service for ill children,
in your local communities that
no one wants to report. Saint
Joseph Jr. High School,
Manchester and Green Valley
School in Pembroke worked
really hard on collecting and
carving pumpkins for Camp
Sunshine pumpkin festival in
Boston, Mass., on Oct. 23.
Camp Sunshine is a family
camp for children with serious
illness. Most of the children
who go will not be cured of their
diseases, and most unfortunate
will pass away at a young age.
You may see a picture in the
paper as reporters did show up.
But the newspapers were not
interested in writing a story.
I have looked in this paper for
any good news stories and
found no more than one or two.
We have outstanding students
in our communities and they
should be recognized.

Give vote for Rockingham
reps to Cady and Bicknell
To the Editor:
Election time is fast approaching.
Remembering that “All politics
is local,” a truth never to be
forgotten, it is up to the voters in
Rockingham District #1 to take
a long, hard look at the candidates
who are running. In an
election, a no vote is just as
powerful as a yes vote.
I would ask you to give serious
consideration to both
Harriet Cady and Elbert
Bicknell. Both are seasoned,
knowledgeable and trustworthy
candidates. Both take to heart
the serious meaning of their oath
of office that all representatives
must take. They must swear
their allegiance to, and support
of both the Constitution of the
United States and the
Constitution of the State of New
Hampshire. Both Constitutions
contain the concept that the
Right to Keep and Bear Arms is
a God given right and shall not
be infringed. Both Cady and
Bicknell are longtime members
of the National Rifle Association’s
New Hampshire affiliate,
the Gun Owners of New
Hampshire, and work diligently
in their positions as officers in
this organization. They can
swear their allegiance and support
of both the state and the
federal Constitution – and, mean
it, not just give it lip service. I
strongly advise you to vote for
both Cady and Bicknell.

To the Editor:
We are writing in support of
Harvey Harkness’s candidacy to

Master Plan Steering
Committee.
Harvey is committed to being

I support Tony F. Soltani for
state representative in Epsom
To the Editor:
It was recently reported that
some Concord politicians have
been accepting “gifts” from lobbyists
and special interest advocates
to pay for their ordinary
living expenses. It was also
reported that the practice has
been going on for years and the
entrenched Concord crowd did
not believe this activity to be
subject to the reporting requirements.
Several months ago, Rep.
Tony F. Soltani of Epsom published
an article which raised the
ire of some politicians and many
lobbyists. He highlighted the
ineffectiveness of the New
Hampshire ethics rules and the
lack of enforcement of the contributions-
reporting law. Rep.
Soltani wrote that the existing
conditions were ripe for abuse
and called for more strict regulations
and increased the enforcement
of the existing laws.
Rep. Soltani has been a voice
of reason and integrity representing
Epsom, Allenstown and
Pittsfield. He is not beholden to
any lobbyists. I will proudly be
voting to re-elect Soltani has our
state representative and ask you
to join me.
Clint Ellsworth
Epsom
Soltani has worked tirelessly
to serve the public for 20 years
To the Editor:
I will be voting for Tony F.
Soltani for state representative
on Nov. 2. I have known Tony
has a friend, police officer and a
public official for nearly 20
years. He has always worked
tirelessly to serve the public.
Tony has worked hard to bring
reform and accountability to the
judicial branch. The state courts
are today far more responsive to
the public needs than six years
ago, although much work needs
to be done.
As a career law enforcement
officer, I take public safety
issues very seriously. In this
area, I know I can always rely
on Tony’s good judgment. I ask
the voters of Epsom, Allenstown
and Pittsfield to join me in supporting
Tony for state representative.

I’m appalled Bush treats dead
soldiers in Iraq so cavalierly
To the Editor:
I find it appalling that our current
leadership – make that
President Bush – is so enthralled
with himself that he treats the
death of our young men in Iraq
so cavalierly. I cannot remember
a president (I’ve been on this
earth for 68 years) that would
make the needless dying continue
just to try and prove that he
was right. He clearly was not
right and the needless slaughter
of our boys and Iraqi people
needs to stop. He’s proven that
he’s a good son avenging the
threat Saddam made against his
daddy. Now he needs to let more
competent leadership take over

Tom St. Martin is thoughtful, articulate and compassionate
To the Editor:
If you live in Bow, Candia,
Dunbarton, Hooksett or
Manchester (Wards 1, 2 and 12),
I encourage you to vote for Tom
St Martin for State Senate.
Tom grew up in New
Hampshire and has raised a
family here. He has a complete
understanding of what is great
about our state as well as the
issues that challenge us. Even
more importantly, Tom sees the
“big picture” and knows that
problems like school funding,
access to healthcare, and protecting
the environment do not
exist in a vacuum. Solving them
not only benefits us locally, but
will also make both New
Hampshire and our country
even stronger.
Tom has served us before –
first in the U.S. Navy and later
as a state representative. The
personal sacrifice required of
both of these roles demonstrates
his willingness to work for us.
More than ever, we deserve a
candidate that will speak for the
people of New Hampshire.
If you’ve had the pleasure of
meeting Tom, I’m sure you will
agree that we will not find a
more thoughtful, articulate or
compassionate candidate on any
ballot this year. Seldom do we
have such an opportunity to vote
for a candidate that is so right
for the job, so prepared to serve
us, and so committed to the
future of New Hampshire.
On Nov. 2, please cast your
vote for Tom St. Martin for
State Senate District 16.

Please vote to keep Joe Stone in the House for seventh term
To the Editor:
I am writing to recommend state Rep. Joseph Stone to voters
in the Deerfield, Northwood,
Candia, Auburn and Nottingham
(House District 73). Joe is
a six-term legislator who’s
actively involved in house leadership
and brings a level of
experience and clout to his district
not found in other candidates.
As chairman of the board of
selectmen in Deerfield, I have
seen first hand how Joe has
pitched in to serve his communities,
both by working his connections
in Concord and by
rolling up his sleeves and pitching
in. Joe has been instrumental
in helping our town work with
DOT, DES and other state agencies
– his contacts are invaluable
to the communities he
serves.
Joe has put in long hours helping
build Deerfield’s town green
and new bandstand, has worked
Old Home Day barbecues, kids’
sporting events, and countless
other community, church, and
school projects.
As a former member of the
school board, budget committee,
parks and rec. committee
and present selectmen, Joe is
well acquainted with the needs
of the towns in his district
While there may well be some
candidates voters feel they
could do without, Joe Stone is
not one of them. If you live in
Northwood, Deerfield, Auburn,
Candia or Nottingham, please
vote to keep Joe Stone in the
House and his experience and
support in your town!

Kerry’s record shows support of conservation, public education
To the Editor:
If you feel as I do, your mind
has already been made up as to
who you’ll vote for on Nov. 2.
No number of polls or sensational
sound bites will have the
power to sway you.
Politicians will say anything
to get your vote. That is why
one must look at their past
record of achievements and
accomplishments. That’s where
you’ll find the truth of their
promises.
My main issues of concern are
the environment and public education.
On both of these, John
Kerry has proven to be an advocate.
The League of Conservation
Voters, one of the nation’s top
environmental watchdog
groups, strongly recommends
Kerry based on his past voting
record on critical environmental
issues. He cares about protecting
our earth – keeping our air
breathable, our water drinkable
and safe, and our forest and
fields healthy and able to sustain
a variety of plants and animals.
On the education front, Kerry
understands the serious flaws in
the well-meaning No Child Left
Behind Act. He will work to
find ways to fix this faulty piece
of legislation and support a
strong public educational system.
It is the Kerry-Edwards team
I’ll be backing on Nov. 2.
Please join me in changing the
course of direction our country
is presently on.
A vote for Kerry/Edwards is a
pro-vote for a healthier environment
and strong public education.

Keep Chester Jordan as sheriff for Merrimack County
To the Editor:
The citizens of Merrimack
County should be thankful for
the civic programs provided by
Sheriff Jordan at the Sheriff’s
Office. In addition to the daily
duties of transporting inmates,
serving warrants and civil
process, Sheriff Jordan has provided
several thousand gun
locks through Operation Home
Safe. These free gun locks have
been made available to anyone
who needs them. He has made
them available not only at the
Sheriff’s Office in Concord,
from any of his deputies on
patrol, through our club and at
several area fairs.
Sheriff Jordan has also helped
various local police departments
by providing deputies to teach
DARE classes in the schools.
During Sheriff Jordan’s administration
the Sheriff’s Office has
taken the time to help our seniors
by organizing, training and
providing hundreds of donated
cell phones in the CARES program.
I urge the voters of
Merrimack County to keep
Chester Jordan sheriff of
Merrimack County.

N.H. Supreme Court justices: vote no on amendment question
To the Editor:
To the citizens of New
Hampshire:
On Election Day, Nov. 2, only
one proposed constitutional
amendment will be on the ballot.
We are asking you to vote
“No” on this amendment
because we believe it would
fundamentally alter the structure
of New Hampshire government.
This amendment would
change Part II, Article 73-a of
the New Hampshire
Constitution. It seeks to give
administrative control of all
New Hampshire courts to the
legislature. The amendment,
despite the claims of its proponents,
does not remedy some
imbalance of powers among the
branches of government; in fact,
it fundamentally alters the fine
balance among them.
Today the administration of
the New Hampshire’s courts is
the responsibility of the chief
justice and the justices of the
Supreme Court. The administration
of the court system includes
the hiring of court personnel, the
assignment of judges, the scheduling
of cases and many other
matters concerning the day-today
operation of the courts of
our State. For decades, decisions
regarding such matters
have been the responsibility of
the courts, not the legislature.
The independence of each of
the three branches of government
was established by our
Constitution in 1784. Part I,
Article 37 states that the three
branches “ought to be kept as
separate from, and independent
of, each other, as the nature of a
free government will admit...”
That independence should not
be eroded by the passage of the
proposed amendment. At best,
seeking to transfer administration
of the courts to the legislature
creates the prospect of
years of unnecessary constitutional
crisis. At worst, it
destroys the thoughtful structure
established by our founding
leaders in which each branch
has the ultimate responsibility to
administer its own affairs.
We know that writing this letter
is an extraordinary measure.
We do so reluctantly and only
because we believe there are
good reasons why our predecessors
removed the courts from
politics; they believed, as we do,
that the people of New
Hampshire are best served by
courts that are not subject to
political administration and partisan
control.
For these reasons, we ask the
citizens of New Hampshire to
reject this amendment and preserve
the constitutional balance
among the branches of government
that has served the public
well for over 200 years.

Despite vandalism to signs, I will rise above and vote for Bush
To the Editor:
To the Bush “sign snatchers”:
Your meager attempts at silencing
our voices has only invigorated
and empowered our ingenuity,
and revealed your impotence.
We rise above your hateful
and immature tactics. Many
of our Bush signs have been
cleverly placed in vandal-resistant
locations. We, the people
who believe in democracy, are
gaining far more by not imitating
your actions. You have
exposed yourselves, as to whom
you are: childish “gimmefolks,”
ignorant followers of
blind and corrupt leaders.
Your candidates expect and
desire us “working folks” to pay
for your laziness and incompetence.
You want to be layabouts
and receive freebies from “Big
Brother.” You seem to think that
the “elites” are more enlightened
about what is best for “us.”
We know better. We believe in
the abilities of free people to
grow and prosper. We believe in
the promise and hope of freedom,
as the founders of this
country did. Maybe you should
go live in Cuba, if you think
socialism is so grand. You could
move to China, or maybe the
Soviet Union. (Oh, yeah, that
fell into the waste-bin of history).
It is pitiful that you are so
childish and hateful that you
must resort to vandalism and
theft, in the panic over not having
America turn into a socialist
nation. It is obscene to see your
candidate and his cohorts inciting
and encouraging this kind of
behavior, using the repetitive
propaganda they, and their allies
in the “mainstream media,”
spout. It is downright infuriating
to see criminal behavior rewarded,
by causing citizens to be
afraid to display bumper stickers
because cars are being vandalized!
It is very difficult not to fall
into the trap of responding in
kind, but I remain, (and implore
others to remain), calm, peaceful
and steadfast. Hard work and
diligence will pay off. Love
conquers hate.
I teach my children to promote
their ideas; don’t attempt
to silence and denigrate others.
This election season has given
excellent examples. I’m hopeful
that I will be proven right in
their eyes, hopeful that patriotic
citizens will do their duty and
vote responsibly, for George
Bush!

very hard coming up with ideas,
planning, fundraising and making
this Old Home Day extra
special for our community.
The biggest thanks goes to all
the people who came out to
share in the fun from parade to
fireworks. We hope to see you
next year!
Thanks again.
