Natural Medicine for Flu: Prevention and Healing

Sunday, January 19, 2025Tuesday, February 6, 2018

If you’ve already got it, don’t despair. Even if you’re an iron man, or a fitness/wellness guru, eventually your number is up. This is your excuse to stay home, snooze, sip tea and brothy soups, and binge watch episodes of Golden Girls…unless you’re a parent of young children. In that case, it’s just business as usual! Regardless, you want to get through this quickly and here are some tips to get you back in your groove.

Paid Family Leave: Preventative Insurance for New Hampshire Workers

Monday, September 23, 2024Monday, February 5, 2018

struggled with my own battle with addiction and was too afraid to ask for help in fear of getting fired and loosing my insurance. I kept my battles to myself and progressively got worse. I ended up losing my job due to my alcoholism. I was then without a job, insurance, and without a clue on how to seek support.

Senate Committee set to ban wine shipments to NH

Sunday, January 19, 2025Monday, February 5, 2018

The most remarkable thing about this bill is that it is trying to fix a problem that does not exist. New Hampshire residents don’t purchase wines from out-of-state sources and pay the heaving shipping costs if they can find what they want locally.

Just another routine Thursday for New Hampshire ratepayers

Northern Pass, if built, would be a giant extension cord. Its purpose is to deliver 1090 megawatts of hydroelectric power generated in faraway parts of Quebec to consumers in Massachusetts.

When Do We Wake Up?

Monday, September 23, 2024Sunday, February 4, 2018

When a child is lost, a part of your life goes away and you never get over the deep feeling of sadness. Why does this happen in the greatest country in the world? What has caused this to happen? I don’t have a simple answer, but I ask our society to think about this every day.

Safe Station 2.0: ‘What we started with and what we have now is like night and day.’

Sunday, January 19, 2025Sunday, February 4, 2018

When Safe Station started, it was an experimental idea. EMS Officer Chris Hickey offered it up as a way to reduce the number of overdose deaths and AMR calls; invite people ready for change to walk in a door, hopefully, in a moment of clarity, instead of the city responding to a drug overdose, too often, too late to save a life.

VA Medical Care: The worst thing you know about a man isn’t necessarily the truest

Mother Theresa may have been short-tempered and cranky with her underlings – that doesn’t take away from the good work she did. Contrariwise, Bill Cosby was an incredibly funny role model for Americans – until it came out he was a chemically-enabled rapist. Anecdotes are just pieces of information, and they don’t compose an argument by themselves.

Positive parenting and the brain: Your words and actions actually change your child’s brain!

Sunday, January 19, 2025Wednesday, January 31, 2018

You’re never going to look back and say to yourself, “I wish I hadn’t been so kind to my children!” Instead, when you’re older, and your children have left to carry on their own lives, you can sit back and smile, knowing that you’ve shown them the way to be the kind of person you admire.

Why children’s savings accounts should be America’s next wealth transfer program

Growing concern about the high cost of college has led to demands for free college. However, “free college” – a concept that gained a modest amount of traction in the 2016 elections – ignores the roots of inequity. Inequality does not start when the tuition bill arrives, nor does it end after it is paid. Instead, financial aid would be better used to influence children’s early education, college completion and post-college financial health.

Letters: Income tax bill disguised as insurance bill is bad for NH

Tuesday, June 11, 2024Sunday, January 28, 2018

This is an awful bill. It is deceptive, it will lead to a full-fledged mandatory income tax, it will repel workers from the state, and it will damage New Hampshire’s economic future. I urge all of New Hampshire’s residents to call their representatives and tell them to kill HB 628.
