Letter: Sunset League memories

Thursday, May 16, 2013

Re “Sunset League faces dire straits” (Monitor front page, May 7): I was saddened to read that one of the city’s finest sports programs is having financial problems. My father Ira Leon Evans was, for several years, treasurer of the Sunset League in the 1930s. It was a period when the League often drew lots of fans after supper. In our house it was a time when the evening meal … 0

Letter: An amazing fundraiser

Thursday, May 16, 2013

Re “A fun event, a community mission” (Monitor Opinion page, May 14): I want to add to Concord Hospital President Mike Green’s column a personal perspective on the Rock ’N Race. For years I have marveled at what happens in Concord around this event. Each year I am struck by the spirit that swells up for this fundraiser and what it says about … 0

Letter: Important bill protects loons

Thursday, May 16, 2013

As a wildlife rehabilitator, I have cared for critically sick loons. The loons with lead poisoning from the ingestion of lead sinkers all died. They could barely hold their head up, had foul-smelling, green watery diarrhea and could not stay afloat in water. In each case, an x-ray revealed a foreign object in the digestive tract of the poisoned loon. The presence of … 0

Letter: Important film

Friday, May 10, 2013

Red River Theatres in downtown Concord had three films playing. I chose what looked like a challenging subject, that of the Palestine-Israeli land settlement issues. What I was to learn from the film was a firsthand account of a family with four sons, living as peasants in a … 0

Letter: I agree with Ayotte

Friday, May 10, 2013

I have been reading all the comments about the vote Sen. Kelly Ayotte cast concerning gun registration. First, I want to know where these people are getting all their figures that they are mentioning, such as 98 percent of the public thinks this, 90 percent of the public … 1

Letter: A disingenuous argument from Ayotte

Friday, May 10, 2013

Re “I voted to improve background check system” (Monitor Forum, May 7): I finally figured out why Sen. Kelly Ayotte’s column seemed so disingenuous, though it took a while. Ayotte presents the legislation she voted for as if it were on equal footing with the Manchin-Toomey proposal. It … 2

Letter: Orwellian

Friday, May 10, 2013

Re “I voted to improve background check system” (Monitor Forum, May 7): Sen. Kelly Ayotte’s column is interesting. Saying she voted for background checks, when she voted against them, is interesting indeed. What kind of new language is this! Right out of Orwell! Lesson to be learned here, … 1

Letter: New way to prevent crime

Friday, May 10, 2013

With the recent unfolding of the horrible kidnappings in Ohio, many wonder how it went on for such a long time. The law enforcement community, understandably, can’t be everywhere to detect these crimes, especially with current budget constraints on their departments. We know from the Boston Marathon bombing … 4

Letter: Archaic

Thursday, May 9, 2013

Re “Official: House budget has $300 million hole” (Monitor Local & State page, May 8): Hole in the state budget? Who would have thought? The next governor of this great state should kick the Pledge habit. Only then will we come out of this archaic state of affairs. … 2

Letter: What was the harm?

Thursday, May 9, 2013

Re “I voted to improve background check system” (Monitor Forum, May 7): After reading Sen. Kelly Ayotte’s position regarding her No vote to increased background checks for gun purchases, something struck me as rather odd. Nowhere does she say what the harm would have been in voting for … 8

Letter: Street number trouble in Bow

Thursday, May 9, 2013

Are the Bow selectmen double-dealing with residents of Robinson Road? Robinson Road residents received a letter from the selectmen dated April 5 talking about renumbering houses on the road. It was stated that after an April 23 public meeting residents would be notified about what the new numbers … 0
