Elect Flyer
“ELECT”
LAUGHTON
WARD 3 CITY COUNCIL
“LACONIA”
PAID FOR BY LISA LAUGHTON FISCAL AGENT
My name is Barry “Stacie” Laughton. I am running for the city council seat in ward 3 in Laconia. I have been a long time resident. I'm honored and thankful for the opportunity to serve the community that I love. I am a small business owner with our office in Laconia, and our store in Gilford NH. I live on Messer Street with my wife Lisa Laughton, with our 2 cats Ted and Homer, my companion, and service dog Winston. Let me tell you my views, let me first say that while I have a strong understanding of the city of Laconia, I have never been elected to any office, this means I will bring a fresh perspective and lots of energy to the table, I will be an open and honest city councilor, and I will be a financially conservitive council member, and I will try to reduce wasteful spending. I will have a strong focus on the less fortunate and the homeless in our community. In doing so, I will push for reform in our city welfare department. I also believe that Laconia is at a serious economic crossroads with jobs being lost and businesses moving out of the downtown area. We can not let this happen any longer and we must find a way to bring businesses back, and promote why Laconia is a great place to live and do business.
More information about me
I come to Laconia by way of Nashua and I have lived here since 2003. When I was in Nashua I attended Nashua Senior High School and graduated in the class of 2002. When in high school I was a member of the student council and the NH association of student councils. After high school I participated in a wide range of political campaigns, including 2 NH Governors and 2 presidential campaigns, after which I moved to Laconia. I started volunteering for a wide range of nonprofit agencies that support children and families. In early 2005 I began college at the La cordon Bleu school for culinary arts and at the same time I was running for the first time for city council in Laconia. My educational background includes a High School Diploma, a certificate in flower art, and a certificate in Japanese flower art. I have experience in in retail management, customer sales, and service experience. As mentioned above I am a small business owner. I believe if elected I am capable and qualified for this position and the people of Laconia can count on me to do my very best in keeping this city on the right track.
Thank you
Barry ” Stacie “ Laughton

From the 7th Generation website:
1) Use cleaning products made from safe natural and not-toxic ingredients to prevent exposure to the hazardous synthetic chemicals conventional cleaners contain.
2) Dust with a damp cloth to ensure that household dust, which collects toxins, is removed from surfaces and not stirred back into the air.
3) Open windows and doors occasionally (even in winter!) to rinse out any air pollutants that have accumulated inside.
4) Don’t use aerosol products. They fill your home with microscopic droplets of whatever is being sprayed. These droplets remain suspended in the air for hours and are easily inhaled.
5) Avoid room deodorizers or other air “freshening” products, which are frequently made from unhealthy chemicals.
6) Don’t use any pesticide products in your home, your yard or garden, or on your pets. Instead, supplement a preventative strategy with natural pest control methods.
7) If you decide to use them, keep conventional cleaners and other chemical products out of your children’s rooms.
8) Use chlorine-free dishwasher detergent. The chlorine in conventional detergents is easily vaporized by hot dishwasher water and then released into your home’s air.
9) Ask guests to remove their shoes when entering your home. That way, they won’t track in pollutants.
10) Buy a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. These special filters trap unhealthy dust particles.
