It doesn’t take a brain surgeon or nuclear physicist to solve the illegal entrance problem into the U.S.A. by Mexican aliens.

Although, to hear and see the frustrations from some of the so-called government experts, you would think we’re trying to invent another kind of childbirth. All they want is something with which many of our citizens are not familiar. The answer is work.

Many of the employers (who now hire these ambitious human Mexicans) could increase their own income at the same time they provide legal employment to the Mexicans.

The guaranteed solution is employers to construct buildings in Mexico by Mexicans as an extension of the various U.S.-based businesses, which in and of itself, will save millions. Just think: no unions, no FICA taxes, no OSHA hounds, no workers compensation, liability insurance expenses, skimpy contractor/employee wages, etc., and that’s just to construct your building(s).

You’ve saved a fortune already and can write off every dime. Stock your business, hire the Mexicans who will then have no reason to enter the U.S.A., hence we’ll save millions upon millions by not having a coast line carpeted with fencing and extra wages to the National Guard.

Who knows, the Defense Department might even help with your overhead.

The constituents of Central Hooksett Water Precinct (CHWP) will once again be imposed upon to conserve water usage during the months of July, August and midway through September. I’m sure that they are asking themselves why it is necessary to conserve water when we have obviously received so much rain.

The answer is simple. CHWP does not have its own water treatment facility. Our current contract allows us to purchase up to 700,000 gallons per day (gpd) from Manchester Water Works. Let’s say that as a precinct, they use 500,000 gpd for eight months of the year but during the four warmer months they can use up to 1,500,000 gpd if left unrestricted. This would exceed our contractual agreement and the precinct would have to pay for the excess water at its highest possible rate plus a substantial fine.

Manchester Water Works monitors CHWP during the months of July through mid-September, our highest usage months. CHWP does not allow any external use of water on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays during this time period. This restriction method has worked well for the past few years and it has allowed us to stay within our contracted limitation.

CHWP truly tries to watch out for its customers’ best interests. If you see your neighbors abuse the water restriction, bring it to their attention and/or call CHWP at 624-0608 and we will act on it. Those who abuse the system will be fined. Water has and will become more expensive. We really do have to work together in order to keep our costs in check.

Thank you for your cooperation and remember conserving our natural resources is always a good idea.

To the Editor:

I feel compelled to address some recent reports and letters that have appeared in the Hooksett Banner.

The first is the question of Manchester West High School. What a rare blessing for the Manchester School District to have the problem of excess space to solve! Bedford leaving West gives the district a fabulous opportunity. I have heard plans of a magnet school for the arts, a special education magnet, as well as a redistricting plan. West is an asset of the Manchester School District and only they can be the ultimate deciders of its fate.

But the current tuition agreement does have language that they meet with the sending districts and allow their input. While Auburn, Candia and Hooksett cannot make the decision, our input will be heard and considered. This is the time for the residents of these communities to contact their school board members and tell them what they’d like to see West become. The current representatives to monitor this contract are Jim Sullivan in Hooksett, Bob Collins in Auburn and Bill Zarges in Candia. I’m sure that our residents’ input will be invaluable as the process moves forward.

The second and last item is the end of the contract for Armand Laselva, superintendent of SAU 15. I can only wish him well at this point. But I would like to share with the readers of the Banner my impressions of Armand.

I was well aware of the articles in other papers about him. I knew the situation in Dover. I was proud that we hired him as our superintendent when Bob Suprenant left. Armand has always been straight forward with his proposals and his ideas on how the SAU should be run and how education should be delivered to the children.

This openness might rub some people the wrong way. It might frustrate those with other plans or designs on how this SAU should function. But the administrators Armand has hired, Assistant Superintendent Gail Kushner and business manager Karen Lessard, are first-rate.

The building administrators and teachers I’ve spoken with all seem to appreciate Armand’s leadership and the tools he has given them to perform their function ­ the improvement of the education of the children of Auburn, Candia and Hooksett.

I have been privileged to chair the SAU 15 board this past year and to work closely with the SAU staff. I commend Armand Laselva and consider it a privilege to have worked with him. We are losing a fine educator and leader. And more importantly, a fine and honest man.

What will Democrats in Congressional District 1 do with all their free time now that a primary is no longer necessary? This is thanks to national democratic bosses deciding who New Hampshire’s Democratic nominee should be.

Rather than “taking any chances” and letting the people decide, they have anointed one out of the field of four declared candidates. Their reason is his ability to raise money.

What they forget, but we the voters have not forgotten, is that none of the candidates wields the kind of wealth the incumbent Republican wields.

Whoever wins the Democratic nomination will not beat the incumbent with money but on the issues of concern to voters ­ health care, education funding, energy costs, the prolonged war in Iraq.

I know what Democrats and Independents will do. We will do what we did in the last election which turned this red state blue and defeated an incumbent Republican governor. We will work like crazy for the candidate who best addresses our concerns. Let’s hope the DCCC still has money left to support the people’s nominee.

Thank you to all the citizens that came to our spring carnival on June 3.

Regardless of the rain, children and adults alike had fun playing games, creating crafts and all the tasty refreshments available. The food was wonderful and gave families a chance to sit, eat and enjoy all of the contagious excitement around them.

Every participant went home with some kind of prize.

A big thank you goes to Bobcat of New Hampshire in Chichester for their donation of the bounce house which, as always, was a big hit with young and old alike.

If you missed our spring carnival this year, never fear, it’s a yearly event and another opportunity will present itself.

Thanks again, we couldn’t do it without you!

After having a discussion with Mr. Brennan regarding the editorial last week over the Candia summer recreation program, I would like say that my questions have been answered (got a phone call the next day) and the whole issue has since been clarified for me. Thank you for the timely response.

Need a challenge? Call Cabela’s at (800) 243-6626 and ask them if they do or have hired illegal aliens.

I did just that on May 12, 16, 26 and 31 ­ spoke to no less than four different people (human relations, attornies, etc.) to no avail. No written response yet!

They propose to con us into an $18 million financial package which could very well leave us holding the bag ­ yet they won’t answer one simple question about their hiring practices.

Why not open the closet door and see what falls out?
