It is easy to lambaste the "trustees" because they can usually be trusted to waste our money. History has proven this. Almost every time they get quoted, it is saying something preposterous. That's when I cannot contain myself. The less they speak, the happier my letters get.

Therefore, today I can write something that I want to instead of something I have to, thank someone instead of questioning their motives. The person in mind is someone whom I've never written about here, someone I should have written about by now.

She puts her wheels, and heels, under Meals on Wheels. She brings people more than food, she brings joy. She even puts wheels under her, and other's, children for school, field trips, youth group and shopping, despite the price of gas, or traffic; unabated, happily and carefully.

Some at Mount Zion know her as the Pizza Lady, who is sometimes the Snack Lady. When a class needs a "class mother," she displays another one of her talents and purposes.

Answering phones, making calls, organizing, e-mailing, baking, washing cars, you name it, she is always willing and cheerfully present when anything needs to be done.

When it comes to family, she will put up with anyone, help anyone, listen confidentially, withhold judgement, give help and always be in solidarity with them, regardless. She is courageous, selfless, long-suffering, compassionate, wise and loving. All who encounter her, young and old, recognize her as a sweet and dedicated "servant of the Lord." All who know her love her.

Sound like an angel?

She is, she's my wife.

The Master Plan took six months to prepare and reflects a collective vision for the future of the town. Providing everyone (not just waterfront landowners) with access to the Suncook and Merrimack Rivers was identified as a high priority need.

A low cost way to achieve this goal was to use a town parcel on the Suncook River for a canoe and kayak launch. Even in cash-strapped Allenstown, $10,000 was allocated in the Capital Improvement Plan for this purpose.

The selectmen are supposed to represent everyone in town, which normally means implementing the recommendations of the Master Plan. However, when the residents of Albin Avenue made a fuss, the selectmen dropped their support of the project, leaving the rest of us “high and dry.”

I feel let down. If you are one of the silent majority that supported this project, now is the time to let the selectmen know how you feel.

Not only did a group of drivers stop when they saw what the situation was, but they also held my remaining dogs for me, stopped traffic and did their best to try to catch the three who were running loose down North Pembroke Road.

When two of the dogs were wise enough to run into our driveway and go into the garage, a very kind woman followed us in to deliver another of my prodigal hounds whom she had taken care of.

She then drove me up the road to where a caravan of cars was slowly driving beside my terrified Lexi (Italian Greyhound), who was running full speed and not letting anyone near her.

Were it not for all of these kind people, I would never have known where Lexi had wound up and how far up the road she had actually run.

Despite my hysteria (and I apologize to them for any verbal faux pas I might have committed at the height of anxiety) all of these wonderful folks took the time to ensure Lexi's safety, and thanks to them, she was diverted into a field and caught, stressed and exhausted but unharmed.

I'll always be grateful to everyone involved in this rescue. Your compassion and patience resulted in all of my hounds arriving home safely; this would not have been the case had you not been there for us!

Remember this one?

Government fails in hurricane, by David Ross, Hooksett.

He starts off by using the word government and fails to identify which government. There were three governing bodies involved with the New Orleans (et. al.) hurricane: the governor, the mayor and the federal government.

The closest Mr. Ross comes to identifying the government is with the words "the big government." I have no idea what the NEA or OSHA has to do with that bold captioned topic of this article.

Just a few facts the he perhaps didn't know, or perchance, overlooked.

The U.S. government cannot react to loss, injury or damages by acts of God, whether it be a category 1 or 5 hurricane. The governor must initiate a request for help unless the loss is caused by terrorism.

What the media, even though they knew it, failed to promote was the local federal Coast Guard helicopter rescue teams were on site rescuing people from rooftops before the high tail winds had passed over the area. These resuce efforts had to be terminated due to the continuance of very dangerous winds.

The practice of law is an occupation of common right. (See Sims v. Aherns, 271 S.W. 720 (1925).);

The “certificate” from the State Supreme Court only authorizes the practice of law “in courts.” As a member of the judicial branch of government and can only represent wards of the court, infants, persons of unsound mind. (See corpus juris secundum, volume 7, section 4.)

A “certificate” is not a license to practice law as an occupation; nor to do business as a law firm. The “state bar” card, (if any) is not a license. It is a “union dues card” of a closed shop, one unlawfully created by the New Hampshire Supreme Court when it “Unified the BAR” and compelled those practicing law in this state” to pay annual fees to the New Hampshire BAR Association.

The BAR” is a “professional association” like the Actors Union, Painters Union, Realtors, Electricians, Plumbers, etc. except the fees do not go to the state but instead go to the private tax exempt corporation now holding a multi-million dollar fund, which can not be audited under the states “right to know laws.” No other association, even doctors, issue their own license. Their fees are paid to the state for the licenses issued by the state.

The state does not issue attorney licenses. The New Hampshire BAR is a non-governmental private association, an unconstitutional monopoly, violating Article 83, Part II New Hampshire Constitution. An Unlawful enterprise, operating as a private corporation that pays no taxes and violates Article 37 Separation of Powers clause of the New Hampshire Bill of Rights.

There is no delegated power or authority to the Supreme Court for breech of the separation of powers enumerated in Article 37. The Supreme Court of New Hampshire has established by use of the fraudulent Article 73-a, “a conflict of interest” in advocating BAR members to participate in legislative, judicial, and executive offices. All New Hampshire attorneys are currently compelled to be members of the monopolistic bar. This is violation of the right to work laws of many states and suggests that the New Hampshire legislature should contemplate enactment of “right-towork” laws.

Consider well the need for the passage of the pending HB 541 which will, if passed, return a level playing field to the practice of law in this state. Write letters to the editor in support of HB 541, talk to your neighbors and local officials. Stop the “churning” of taxpayers money subsidizing the monopoly that now exists.

Let's by all means be sure to support their provision that will provide a "better balance for humans."

With only 300 million humans left in the United States, and only 6 billion remaining worldwide, we need to ensure that humans get a fair shake.

After all, we don't want humans to become extinct, or even inconvenienced just for the sake of preserving other rare forms of life having questionable "value."
