The two vehicles were the first Progressive: Keys to Progress donations in New Hampshire.
Saint Anselm English Professor Gary Bouchard has penned the entertaining What News Horatio? Dispatches from Beyond the Castle Walls. The book cleverly takes a real newspaper headline such as “Missing Brains Found in Texas” and uses it as a portal for verse that attempts to tell the story behind the headline in a “What dreams may come” style. In other words, he makes it up. Add a pinch of there’s something rotten in Denmark to the telling and the result is both classical and comical.
First Lady Jill Biden spoke at Teamsters Local 633 on Goffstown Road Saturday afternoon in support of incumbent Senator Maggie Hassan(D) in the November 8th mid-term election against Don Bolduc (R).
Speed kills and Concord won almost every footrace that pitted their strikers against the Memorial Crusaders defenders Tuesday night as seniors from both teams were recognized before the game. This was the Crusaders’ final game on Chabot-McDonough Field for the year.
The tradition of the Warner Fall Foliage Festival was lost over the last two Octobers as Covid limited the 2020 festival to virtual status while 2021 saw no festival at all. With the first festival held in 1947, this year’s edition is the 75th by calendar year but the 74th in actuality.
“Considering we started flat, this was one of the more complete games we played this year,” said Memorial Coach Nick Gardner. “We played in spurts early on and got better as the game went on. We had better position play.” Still, it wasn’t enough as the Windham Jags earned a workmanlike 2-0 win over their home field Friday afternoon.
I have this recurring nightmare where I’m about to accumulate thousands of dollars in cash and prizes on Jeopardy when I’m faced with a Final Jeopardy category of Hungarian Opera or Ships of the Vatican City Fleet.
After a scoreless first half Tuesday night, Dover Green Wave co-captain Zoe Wisniewski buried a pair of penalty kicks in the second half en route to a 3-0 win for Dover.
The Manchester Memorial Girl Crusaders picked the perfect time to have their offense be opportunistic as the Central Little Green carried most of the play but just couldn’t cash in Thursday night at Gill Stadium. The Crusaders won 2-0 in a battle of winless teams.
There were two major takeaways from the conversation: 1. It takes time to build community, and 2. To build a community, the entire community has to buy into the idea.
Fisher Cats center fielder Cam Eden played a ball off the wall on Wednesday night that had inside the park home run written all over it. The top of the brick wall has a bevel to it just to the right of dead center. Eden played the pinball perfectly, holding the batter to a double.
The Manchester Memorial Girl Crusaders played a solid second half at Chabot-McDonough Field last night but it wasn’t enough to dent the three-goal deficit of the first half. The scoreless second half actually provided more offense from the Crusaders and the Salem Blue Devils.
The Grizzlies were up 8-0 when play was halted in an aggressive but clean game. Wilkinson’s injury was blameless as was the one to Memorial’s Jenna LaBerge in the first half when she got spiked on the left hip and was down for several minutes.
“We’re a young team and we’re still learning,” Memorial High School Girls’ Soccer Coach Nick Gardner said before Tuesday’s game vs. Merrimack at Bedford’s Back River Sports Complex. “We’re learning ball control. We can’t keep kicking the ball downfield and then running after it.”
Classic cars are about colors, what’s under the hood, whitewalls, stick shifts, weekends, fuzzy dice and Vroom! The owners are classic too, for what they’re showing off is a slice of the past with dazzle and diesel. A slice of their past. Electric is coming, but that should only drive up the prices of these carburetor cowboys of the past.
Put Manchester’s Pam Eliason in the pantheon of American free-spirits who have set out to find meaning, meals and a clean bathroom while on the fly across our Passaic and prairies, Walla Walla and Wally World, Roswell and Rosebud. Jack Kerouac crawled. John Steinbeck glamped. Cheryl Strayed and Bill Bryson hiked. Robert Pirsig Zen-Motorcycled it.
Two games do not a season make, but this appears to be a very good Bedford High School Girls’ soccer team. After shutting out Central 5-0 is their season opener, they were dominant in all aspects of the game on Tuesday night in beating Manchester Memorial 8-0.
Despite the score, Memorial turned in a solid defensive effort. Trailing 1-0 at halftime, the lack of subs only became obvious deep into the second half. This is also a Memorial team that graduated 10 seniors last year, according to Coach Nick Gardner.
