Weddings, anniversaries, engagements, Valentine’s Day love notes, military promotions or accolades, graduation shout-outs, obituaries or tributes to a loved one, pet obituaries/tributes, and other personal news and milestones shared by you, the community.
Also a place where conversation happens – from Letters to the Editor and Op/Eds to The Soapbox, you’re welcome to tell us how you really feel.
Are you a broad-chested man with a beard? Or do you happen to have a large quantity of Churu cat treats in your house? If so, Darbster’s Rescue Tails of the Week might be just what you’re looking for!
I feel I am dancing on the edge of a knife (the unsharp side, of course) where one side is retirement, and the other side is work. I’m playing the middle at this point as I garner the benefits of each side: I work as a nurse on my terms, not constrained by full or part-time work, but being available as a substitute nurse or for working full-time for a specific period of time. (Look out, I may be administering flu shots at your CVS!) At this point in my life, I need that structure, collegiality, and the ability to work with the public. Okay, and the money doesn’t hurt.
Most Americans describe themselves as socially tolerant and fiscally responsible. “Live and let live” has always been our gold standard, and keeping our neighbors and government out of our lives as much as possible has always been the goal.
Today, no political party stands for the fundamental liberal values that we claim to support.
Unfortunately, lead screening rates have been declining. Since 2019, New Hampshire has seen a 25% drop in lead screening rates for children aged 72-months and younger. At Elliot Health System, we recognized this trend and identified an opportunity to improve care for some of our most vulnerable patients—infants and young children.
For way too long these proven programs have had to hide in the shadows, due to general ignorance about their successes in maintaining a healthy community, and to the general stigma surrounding drugs which are consumed with needles (rather than just smoking or drinking).
I want to let my friends and neighbors who live in Manchester Wards 6, 8, and 9 know why I believe Maxine Mosley deserves your vote in the upcoming election for one of the two House of Representative seats in Hillsborough District 39.
Recently I was playing a game of Kahoot with a roomful of youth in 6th through 12th grade (GenZ and GenAlpha) and a question regarding President Reagan came up. One of the youth shouted out, “Who is Ronald Reagan?” And almost none of the youth knew who Reagan was…and sadly most of the youth are in high school.
For those who might be unfamiliar with “Northern Exposure,” the show is set in the small town of Cicily, Alaska, where Dr. Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow), a New York City slicker and a graduate of Columbia University’s medical school, is indentured to work as the town’s only physician to repay his student loans.
For decades, I have been involved with many other advocates in efforts to end homelessness in NH and worked for many years in agencies involved with housing and low-income people. I grew up in and have worked in Manchester. I have also worked all over the state including Nashua, where I live now. Since homelessness is caused by multiple economic, social, and health-related factors, it is not easy to find effective solutions.
This November, I urge you to stand with me and my fellow Republicans. Let’s keep the Democrats’ income tax far from your wallet.
This election, plain and simple, is about keeping one of the worst people on the planet out of the Oval Office for a second time. At this point, I can’t fake diplomacy or pretend to be conciliatory with the MAGA movement.
Hiking is a great way for you to build a relationship with your dog and get some exercise. It’s also an activity that is inexpensive and accessible for most people and dogs.
In 2023, it was estimated that about 297,790 new cases of breast cancer would be diagnosed in women in the U.S., and about 43,700 women would die from the disease. Knowing your risk and recognizing the symptoms of breast cancer can increase your chances of survival.
Cases such as what is happening in Bow highlight the importance of the First Amendment, and its relevance to our everyday lives. I fully support the right of the People to peaceably protest, but I DO NOT support violence, blockades, or the destruction of other people’s property.
How is discouraging commerce in the biggest city in New Hampshire a move that demonstrates that you are a competent leader and deserve to govern the state?
She began to learn piano, slowly, weekly, on an old electric, stand-up keyboard. She played a grand piano at her lessons. After six months, she sat at a piano at a historic New England church for a recital. She had memorized all four songs she played.
And two months ago, she wrote her first song.
It was time.
In August, directors Michael O’Brien and Mike Schmeideler released a documentary film on Reilly titled “Don’t Turn Your Back on Friday Night.” The film is a refreshing reminder that not all prodigiously talented artists attain worldwide fame.
