Letter To The Editor
Thank You All!


We wish to thank all of you for your donations and prayers for our daughter “Lanie.” Your help has been a modern day miracle for this family.  During our recent difficulties, your support meant more than words can express.


Surgery was performed for “Lanie” on October 5, 2010, at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, NH.  The surgery was a huge success and our daughter is making a beautiful recovery at home and gaining strength with each new day.


Thank you and GOD bless you all!
Troy, Jackie, Lanie Family

Letter To The Editor
Veteran’s Day 2010


I’ve watched TV and read in the news mediums of demonstrators, condemning and harassing families at funerals of our soldiers that have made the supreme sacrifice engaged in the war against world wide terrorism.


The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America granted them that right (freedom of religion, speech, and the press; rights  of assembly and petition.)
However, Article One (1), Section Eight (8) of the Constitution grants us the right to defend the United States of America...the Congress shall have power, “To declare war.”  Perhaps they (the demonstrators) have forgotten 911 and the many deaths on America’s soil.


The deceased soldiers, returning home to families, friends, and loved-ones deserve to be interned in peace and with dignity.  They have paid the ultimate price for us, every American, for the First Amendment, along with all the other Amendments and freedoms that we enjoy.  Why?  Because, they believed in the Motto: “America Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.”


“They have fought the good fight, they have finished the race, and they have kept the faith.” --2 Timothy 4:7


If you should meet a Military Veteran today or anytime, shake their hand and thank that Veteran for their service (World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan), it doesn’t matter which war, they all served.


Thank you, and may GOD Bless the United States of America.

Pumpkin ‘N’ Pine Fair


Be sure to mark your calendar so you don’t miss the kickoff to the holiday season on Saturday, November 6th.  Visit the Pumpkin ‘n’ Pine Fair at the Congregational Church of North Barnstead at 504 North Barnstead Road in Center Barnstead from 9 AM to 2 PM.  Crafts and activities will be available for children, so don’t let your kids keep you home that day!


There will be a cornucopia of irresistible items—something for everyone on your Christmas list: jewelry old and new, crafts, seasonal decorations, toys for all ages, collectibles, and beautiful handmade fair-trade items from other lands.   There is even a Critter Table with gifts for your favorite pet and your critter loving friends.


The main feature of the fair is the silent auction, offering unique items including an antique coverlet, a leather backpack, a table setting for six, certificates for local services, and lots more.  Bid high and bid often!


A really spectacular quilt depicting small-town life, made by the Barnstead Country Quilters, is being raffled off.  It will be on display at this fair and again at the St. Stephen’s Holiday Fair in Pittsfield, where the drawing will take place on Saturday, November 20th.


For your table, choose from the wonderful pies, breads, and other goodies on the Bake Table and be sure to buy raffle tickets for the Thanksgiving food basket.


Stop by the Schoolhouse Café for a snack or lunch and enjoy some good home cooking while you chat with your friends, consult your shopping list, and show off your special finds.  You might want to make one more pass at the goods on offer before you go on your way!

Jim Forsythe has been an outstanding member of our community in Strafford, with a strong record of service and commitment to our youth. Jim was my successor as Cubmaster of our local Cub Scout Pack, mentoring a large group of young boys and adult leaders. His leadership, energy, and enthusiasm were critical in providing an excellent program for the Pack. He was an excellent role model for our organization as he led monthly Pack meetings, helped organize camping trips, and participated in den meetings. In addition to serving as Cubmaster, Jim has also been a volunteer coach for the recreational soccer program, devoting his time and energy to ensure a quality athletic program for our kids. Between soccer and Cub Scouts, my children and many others have benefited from the time Jim has given serving his community.


But Jim’s commitment to his local community doesn’t end there.  He has also consistently advocated for the taxpayers of Strafford by attending selectmen and school board meetings.  He was a leader in the fight to repeal the LLC Tax, going out of his way to explain to others why it would be so detrimental to business in our state.  What impresses me most about Jim is that you can count on him to present the hard facts about what is going on so that you can make informed decisions. I believe Jim Forsythe’s record of community service and taxpayer advocacy shows how hard he will work as a State Senator to represent District 4.
