The cauldron started to bubble in 1919 when, in a front-page story, The Manchester Union reported that, “Good authority says that some members of the school committee are already planning to institute measures designed to clear the schools of married teachers taken on during the war period.”
Addiction touches everyone. People are dying and we need all the help we can get. If you won’t support Hillary, I hope you will support your candidate of choice to wake up and address this critical issue.
By now you may be aware that I filed a complaint with the City of Manchester over several Aldermen who I felt have decided to make choices not in the best interest of our city. I filed my complaint on Friday, September 4th at City Hall.
Labor Day is the unofficial end of the summer and for many people it is an excuse to have everyone over for one last BBQ. Too many have forgotten what Labor Day is all about. They have forgotten why we celebrate Labor Day.
Can you get at least 10 right on this pop culture quiz? Then congratulations; you’re what we call ‘city literate.’
While some of these laws may have made sense long ago, some are leaving more confusion and questions than answers. School age kids from around the state are being invited to find the silliest, most outdated, nonsensical laws that they can find.
One of the main problems, and a primary factor in Governor Hassan’s veto, is that the Republican majority in the legislature is trying to push an ideological tax cut that would have an enormous impact on the budget’s future, and seriously hurt our ability to fund the state going into the 2020s. The problem isn’t just about what these needless cuts will do now, it’s about what they’ll still be doing a decade from now.
I met Larry soon after I started volunteering. After avoiding shelters for most of my life on the fear the experience would be too depressing, I decided to help homeless pets as a way to honor Charlie, my black cat.
Question: School’s almost back in session and between the school supply sales and the almost chilly nights I find myself feeling renewed. I am ready to double down on my diet, start my meditation training I have been putting off, and keep my top desk drawer neat and organized. Trouble is that by September 23 it will all go back to being what it was before. Are there any ways to stick with good intentions so that they last longer than one pencil sharpening?
Let’s face it, the old Queen City hasn’t been the same since the last roller coaster rider tossed his Moxie on the Midway at Pine Island more than 50 years ago.
After an anxious week of false alarms – a week in which hopes had been raised and dashed almost hourly – a radio flash at 7:03 p.m. caught the ear of an unknown soldier. He jumped from his table at the Puritan Restaurant and stepped onto Elm Street. His cry, according to newspaper accounts filed by Cpl. Norman Leighton, was simple: ”The war is over!”
Why is the Teachers Union so angry at our current Mayor simply because he is representing the majority of the people in this city?
It is the responsibility of the Mayor to present a fiscally responsible budget year after year. It is the responsibility of the Mayor to be a good steward of the taxpayers dollars. It is the responsibility of the Mayor to not obligate taxpayers, and other boards, to a future of recovering from reckless spending. This is the commitment I have made to the taxpayers of Manchester, one that I do not take lightly and one that I will never ignore – to do so would be irresponsible.
Letter from a recent Central High School grad on the Mayor’s veto of the teachers’ contract.
On Wednesday the Republican-led Executive Council in New Hampshire upped their attacks on women and working families. In a 3-2 vote the Executive Council voted to defund Planned Parenthood in the NH.
As a member of the negotiating team I am disappointed at the outcome of Tuesday’s vote, but I am not giving up. I will continue working for a solution to this situation, which has been ongoing for three years.
Never mind Oscar Mayer. Forget about Fenway Frank. In these parts, there’s only one name that’s synonymous with the hot dog and that name is Schonland.
American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign is reporting the magnificent wild horse has died in a government corral, despite a five-month-long effort to rescue him.
“There is no real help for him, beside myself and his mother, who is utterly on the edge over all of this. I also feel our parole system needs review and education to evaluate each situation, although as stated before it comes down to money.”
Smoke and fog and an unsettling stench still filled the air around us, and even though it wasn’t anything we’d yet covered in journalism class, I figured that, when you’re confronted with a scene that is simply so other-worldly, the best thing to do was to focus on the work, so I tried to disassociate myself from what it was that I was seeing. Minutes later, at a hastily assembled press conference, airport officials made it known to us that Flight 723 had come in from Grenier Field in Manchester. Disassociation was no longer possible.
