Yes, I know the historical roots of how we got here — from ancient Greek goddesses and “Mothering Sunday” in the UK to Anna Jarvis and Julia Ward Howe, who campaigned for mothers around the world to lobby for world peace — women who sacrificed their sons in wartime knew that there had to be a better way to solve the world’s problems.
Hunker down with mom and enjoy some lavish fashion-centric classics.
Over the course of the past eight days, someone has broken five different windows at Hope. Someone threw one rock through one window last Monday evening. Someone (or someones) threw three rocks through three windows last Thursday night. Someone threw a rock through a window last night. Three nights. Five windows. No explanation. No rhyme. No reason.
Nonprofit news is about far more than a tax-deductible donation. It’s about passion for the truth and real news and having a mission that matters to people. Our mission is to hold the powerful accountable and give voice to marginalized people, places and ideas. And to serve you, our readers.
Peter Macone, General Manager of Elm Street’s sister restaurants Republic and Campo Enoteca, recently gained attention for a petition to close down Elm Street to vehicles. It’s a bold effort, but not a new idea — merely a forgotten one.
The State has stepped forward and has agreed to provide and pay for essential services to these encampments, including restroom facilities, hand washing stations, food, and trash removal. In addition, the Manchester Police Department was awarded a Justice Assistance Grant, funding 24/7 police presence at the encampments, and increased patrols in the surrounding neighborhoods. Finally, the Manchester Fire Department and outreach workers have established a COVID Response Unit, providing infection control and safety measures. All of these services will be provided at no cost to the City of Manchester.
Nimrod the Hunter was a leader amongst men and a builder of cities, including Babel and Nineveh. He was a great-grandson of Noah but did not live up to the virtues and standards that God had found in Noah. He was a bully amongst men, took what he wanted — including women, whatever he desired because he was a big man. His mighty bow and hunting were his major interests in life. He believed in God but was (I believe) somewhat jealous of God.
That is all well and good but what about the workers? What about the people crammed into the kitchen for hours on end? What about the servers who are now coming face-to-face with every customer who comes through the door? As much as we are thinking about the patrons, we should also be thinking about the workers. Are we putting the workers health and safety at risk?
I trust our governor as an American, and a citizen.
I work in outdoor recreation in the White Mountains. I’m very eager to find out when hotels will be open. If our clientele in July is going to be limited to daytrippers and campground visitors (who don’t spend a lot of money), we won’t be profitable, and I should be looking for a different job.
The more people expose themselves to the environment, the higher risk they have of being exposed to the virus. Catching the virus and surviving more likely than dying.
Assuming you can cut hair because you’ve been going to a barbershop all your life is akin to thinking you can edit a newspaper because you’ve always had a subscription. But you have to start somewhere, and thinking about what my barber does, even if I didn’t know how to do it, got me going.
Governor Sununu has remained eerily silent in response to the dozens who gathered in Concord to protest his stay-at-home order last weekend, unlawfully ignoring his executive order restricting groups under 10 people. As rumors of more planned protests circulate, it is imperative that the Governor denounce this blatant disregard of the entire state’s health, threatening to undermine flattening of the pandemic’s curve, the goal for which we are so valiantly sacrificing.
The last thing I remember before the virus took hold, I was standing on stage at the Rex Theatre with a herd of others, belting out the chorus to the Rolling Stones “Satisfaction” during the encore.
Right now, our city is faced with a challenge beyond our control. But, it won’t last forever. By being there for one another, by looking out for each other, we will persevere.
City governments should be working with businesses, nonprofits, etc., on Victory Gardens and Vertical Farms.
For the second time in as many years, the New Hampshire State House has passed a bill that would legalize marijuana in the Granite State. A similar bill died last year in the Senate, but New Hampshire lawmakers owe it to the people of our state to make the latest bill into law.
I love New Hampshire and believe that it can once again thrive using the same free-market principles that have led to its success to this point. I believe that we can overcome any challenge because of our ingenuity, our toughness, our resourcefulness, and our independence. These things give us the ability to get through things and come out better.
We are never too old to ask questions. We are never too old to become educated.
It is critical that the New Hampshire state legislature meet to move forward legislation that seeks to provide for all Granite Staters and namely those facing addiction, domestic abuse, and homelessness whose affliction has only amplified during this crisis.
