Letter To
The Editor
Dear
Editor,
Since our
Governor, Chris Sununu, has made known that he supports the proposed
Republican Trump Care bill, which he has not even seen, he is setting
himself up to be a One Term Governor.
He was too
busy currying favor in Washington to fight for full-day kindergarten
that he was so adamant about in his version of the budget. He talks
about the opioid crises that is ravaging New Hampshire without giving
one thought as to how the new and improved Trump Care Bill will gut the
Medicaid System, thereby throwing the addicted, the mentally afflicted,
and the most vulnerable citizens in the State of New Hampshire under the
“Trump Care Bus.”
His
loyalties lie with the Republican Party, and his wealthy supporters.
They have no idea what living in poverty and having to declare
bankruptcy due to overwhelming medical expenses is like, and I doubt
that they even care.
Let us get
together and support a progressive Democrat, like Steve Marchand, at the
polls in November 2018. He has proven leadership credentials as the
former Mayor of Portsmouth, and has placed emphasis on working for the
good of the citizenry.
Mr. Sununu
has barely been in the job for 6 months and he has already proven to be
ineffective. New Hampshire’s citizens deserve so much better than
someone who caters to the wealthy and gives lip service to the
underprivileged.

Barnstead
Parks and Recreation Summer Concert Series
Please join
Barnstead Parks and Recreation in welcoming the Rockin’ Daddios to the
summer concert stage on Saturday, July 1.
This fun,
four-man acappella group performs some of the best-loved songs from the
40s, 50s and 60s in a doo-wop style. The Rockin’ Daddios will share
stories about the groups that performed the songs, as well as period
trivia, commercial jingles, and TV theme songs. The music of this
bygone era has the power to conjure up many special memories and bring
the listener back to a more innocent time. You’ll hear songs like “Book
of Love”, “Blue Moon”, “Teenager in Love” and “Little Star” to name a
few. The songs are family friendly and guaranteed to warm your heart and
bring a smile to your face.
Inspired
from vastly popular “Men’s Medley” originally featured in Irene
Descehenes’ “Moments to Remember I and II” 50’s reviews, the Rockin’
Daddios consist of Lakes Region residents Jim Rogato, Bo Guyer and
Angelo Gentile, who have been performing together in various shows and
reviews for well over 10 years. Collectively, their community theater
experience spans six decades! And now featuring the vocals and guitar
magic of Drew Seneca. So sit back, relax and enjoy the Rockin’ Daddios.
Their music will make you smile.
This free
show starts at 6:00 pm at the Barnstead Parade Grounds. The Barnstead
Congregational Church will be on hand offering concessions. Bring a
lawn chair or blanket, and a friend or two. As always, smoking and
alcohol are prohibited on the grounds.
See you at the show!

funds for this very important cause.
