Letter


A recent segment on NH Public Radio described Porc Fest, a yearly gathering of Free State Project members in NH. And a recent article in Slate magazine described the mind-set of the Free Keeners. But the media has largely missed the really important story about the Free State Project in NH.


They have a well-organized, strategic political machine and media machine, which early on evolved out of Mercatus scholar Jason Soren’s doctrine that encourages 20,000 people to join the Free State Project and gradually take over the state of New Hampshire. The Mercatus Center gets a substantial amount of funding from the Koch brothers, and Mr. Sorens’ naïve libertarian philosophy, which is now coming to life, must be bringing tears to their eyes.


FSP leaders have said the Free State Project is just the bus that gets people to NH. But contradicting the bus metaphor is the fact that FSP websites encourage members who haven’t even moved here yet to join the NH Liberty Alliance, a political organization founded by FSP members and supporters in 2003 shortly after their official coming out announcement in the state.


The Alliance rates legislators/legislation, and pressures legislators to follow its liberty principles and policies, or risk defeat in the next election. After 7 years of perfecting this approach, 12-14 Free State Project members were elected to the Legislature last November, and over 100 other “highly rated” candidates were elected. This helps to explain the lethal Budget and other bills that have now passed, as well as the veto proof majorities.


Many NH residents are still asleep about what can only be described as a takeover (or disease visited upon a somewhat immune suppressed body politic), - in the name of freedom. But they are slowly awakening, - and this can’t happen soon enough.

Letter


I wonder a lot about our congressman, Frank Guinta.  I wonder why he sponsors job fairs in NH, with just 30 employers, and then goes back to DC and votes for policies that cause job losses of hundreds of thousands across the country.  Maybe he believes that NH will be exempt from what that will do to our economy? 


I wonder why he wants to destroy Medicare for our children and grandchildren, and take away benefits we all have gained from the healthcare act that passed in 2010.  And now I have a new puzzle:  why is Frank Guinta voting against safeguarding our food supply?


Mr. Guinta voted to block the US Dept. of Agriculture from preparing our country to deal with the effects of climate change on the food we need.  With increasing drought in some areas, flooding in others, fires and violent storms and crop failures across the entire planet becoming more and more common, why wouldn’t it make sense to plan how to feed us?  Why take that chance?  Because his campaign is supported by fossil fuel companies? We need representatives who think things through, not ideologues who vote at the beck and call of large corporations.

Concord Regional VNA’s Linda Blackey Of Northwood

Named Home Care LNA Of The Year

 

Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association’s Linda Blackey of Northwood was named Home Care LNA of the Year by the Home Care Association of New Hampshire during the annual New Hampshire Nursing Assistant Day. The event took place on the State House lawn in Concord on June 2.


“Linda’s experience, dedication to our community, and her dependability make her an outstanding recipient of this honor,” said Mary DeVeau, president and CEO of Concord Regional VNA. “The community and our agency are extremely fortunate to have Linda as one of our caregivers.”


Blackey has worked for Concord Regional VNA for the past 32 years, providing compassionate, respectful, and quality care to many patients and families. Her sense of humor and smile help make her clients feel at ease, while she provides the personal care and attention they need. Through the years, Blackey has had clients that started with home care and then transitioned to facilities or hospice, and she was able to follow them through the entire process, giving her clients continuity of care with a trusted caregiver.

 
Blackey serves as a preceptor at Concord Regional VNA for new LNAs and personal care services providers (PCSPs), mentoring them as they go through their clinical orientation. She participated as a preceptor for refugee students enrolled in an Introduction to Health Care class, a collaboration between Concord Regional VNA and the Lutheran Social Services English for Speakers of Other Languages program. Students were partnered with Blackey in the field to help them gain confidence as they progressed from shadowing to participating in clients’ personal care under her supervision.


Dozens of other licensed nursing assistants (LNAs) were also recognized for compassionately and selflessly devoting their lives to the care of others, and improving the quality of life for individuals they care for every day.


The Home Care Association of New Hampshire, New Hampshire Association of Counties/County Nursing Homes, New Hampshire Association of Residential Homes, New Hampshire Health Care Association, and New Hampshire Hospital Association sponsor New Hampshire Nursing Assistant Day. The sponsors solicit nominations from the state’s home care agencies, public and private nursing and residential care facilities, and hospitals, and each association selects one individual as their “LNA of the Year” based on compelling stories of kindness and caring.
