Local voices chime in on a variety of topics.
The sooner national and state leadership makes the commitment to programs that promote renewable sources of energy, the closer we are to a shot at lessening the impact of climate change on future generations.
Disregarded long enough, a man questions his existence. Disregarded long enough, a man hates himself. Disregarded long enough, a man stops acting like a man, forgets he is a man, loses sight of his human nature.
Suicide. Offing yourself. Doing yourself in. That seemed like the only option to me 10 years ago, and that’s where Larissa is now. Each night she passes out with the hope she’ll die in her sleep, and when she wakes up in the morning with a foggy and throbbing head, shaky hands and a bellyful of dread, she asks for the courage to kill herself today. So far, thank God, she hasn’t found it.
The PUC is expected to rule in the next few days. I hope the Commission approves the decoupling deal we struck with Liberty Utilities. If it does, I’ll be treating myself to a burger at Five Guys.
Do you think it’s too late? Are you 50, and feel like it’s all over? Your chance to do something great and noteworthy with your life has passed?
An arrhythmic tuba player does not blend in. Just as gluttony leads to weight gain leads to mockery, so a bad tuba player’s sins are readily apparent to all with ears to hear. Or plug.
Beverly Cleary created a world where goals were set, plans were made and achievements were accomplished. I lived in my own world, where boredom loomed around every corner and had to be destroyed by any means necessary, another symptom of wickedness.
Set during the turn of the century, this 1948 Oscar-winning musical smash hit backed by an Irving Berlin score, grossed six million dollars. Although, six million seems petty by today’s standards, consider in 1948 the average movie ticket was 37 cents.
I wanted to share with you a chapter from my book about my own mother, Doris (Coffee) Adams. It’s called The White Dove and I hope you like it!
It’s possible – now hear me out – It’s possible that the resistance you are worried about encountering from your child is really your own resistance to a change toward healthy eating.
Keith Howard’s just sent out his virtual resume into the ether. Share for a chance to help him manifest his destiny, and earn yourself some cookies, and a sonnet.
Donald Trump has done a lot of dumb things, a lot of crass things, a lot of cruel things and a lot of dishonest things. Still, despite cries from my liberal friends, he is not a tyrant-in-training (although that may be his fantasy), nor is he wreaking vengeance against his enemies. I don’t think he’s been a good president so far, but he’s not evil. America is not the Wasteland. The universe just reminded me of that. Let me explain.
According to Jeff Duval, President of Local 856, for the past three years the City has been dragging its feet until a budget has been put in place before agreeing to any type of cost of living (COLA) increase for the firefighters.
Why Katie Dugan and her mom are joining the March for Our Lives in Washington, D.C. on March 24. An estimated million marchers worldwide are marching in support of changes to gun regulations and increased school safety.
In light of the unarmed man in Enfield shot, the unarmed man shot in Hopkinton, the man shot in the back while fleeing police in Canaan I believe it is time to bring this reform to New Hampshire. Let’s not put police in a situation where their only option is to shoot. Let’s give them the training for better options.
Red River Theatre’s recent Oscar Party got me thinking: Are we just looking for a reason to dress up, or has Hollywood’s retro-underground taken a turn for the mainstream?
Readers know I’m not a God guy at all, not real interested in whether the Big Joker in the Sky is paying attention. Still, I pray 50 or 75 times a day, saying the same prayer over and over and over: “Thank you, God.” For today, I’m going to amend that prayer to “Thank you, God, and please help Larissa find a way to want to find a path to sobriety.”
I’m running for chairman of the Manchester Democratic Party because we need to open it up for more participation. With more people involved, not only during elections but year-round, we can strengthen the party within the city.
This Saturday – St. Patrick’s Day – Granite State of Mind is hosting its monthly tribute series at New England College in Concord where we will raise a pint of Guinness to the works of Van Morrison, as a half-dozen artists bare their souls to sing his songs. It’s free.
We do hope everyone in Manchester who is against increased traffic, crime and pollution will come out to City Hall on Thursday, March 15 at 6 p.m., wearing red. We will be patient as we await our issue – last on the agenda.
