McQuaid should feel embarrassed. Not only did he endorse a dishonest candidate, but that dishonest candidate has now fully embraced the guy who went out of his way to make mincemeat of McQuaid in a bitter and very public tit-for-tat battle of the egos. And in all of this, The Union Leader failed to do the one thing it’s supposed to do: Inform readers.
It’s salty and irreverent, yes – just like Election 2016! Don’t shoot the messenger; Peter Noonan just draws’em as he sees’em.
It should come as no surprise that there were 800 applicants for the 30 new homes, since the going rate was $5.50 a week — no down payment — and to be on the safe side, the association also covered the cost of a $3,000 insurance policy on the man of the house “in order to safeguard widow and children in the event that calamity befall the breadwinner before the house is fully cleared.”
Three colleagues – and three of their “wins” – are the focus of this tribute. Each win was toward a better future for their community, and was realized working alongside many others. Sadly, each of these good people left us in the past year.
Politics with a side of satire, from Manchester editorial cartoonist Peter Noonan.
This is a problem that can’t be fixed overnight, and maybe not in the next presidency, but if a 24 year-old from New Hampshire can understand and explain some of the basic issues connected to this crisis, we need to expect the leaders of our country to do so also, instead of sticking to narrow-minded pipe dreams for their own political benefit. This isn’t a partisan issue. This is a common sense issue. And it is also an issue of life or death for the millions of Americans struggling with opioid dependence.
American prisons are supposed to be a cut above those of the Middle East, the Far East or in parts of Europe. Unless our system of justice works to protect and defend the rights of all citizens, incarcerated or not, we are no better than the countries who openly condone corruption.
“There’s no passivity when you look at a Picasso,” agreed Susan Strickler, who is the soon-to-retire director of the Currier. “You may not always love it, but it provokes a reaction. That’s what Picasso did.”

The average American child spends four to seven minutes a day playing outside, and more than seven hours a day in front of a computer, tablet, phone, TV, or other type of screen, according to the Child Mind Institute. What impact does this have on learning, social skills, and health? Among the consequences of children spending less time outdoors are increasing obesity rates, increasingly sedentary lifestyles, and a lack of appreciation and understanding of the world around them and something called ‘nature deficit disorder,’ according to research from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
“It was immediately apparent to the adoption center clinic team that ‘Frank,’ as he has since come to be called, had suffered traumatic injury to his face, head and hips — most likely from a run-in with a fast-moving car,” Halpin said. “His right eye was so damaged it had to be surgically removed, along with a broken upper canine tooth. Frank had also suffered a broken jaw.”
‘Dear Sports Illustrated: We are students at Saint Anselm’s College. Our patron, Saint Anselm, was most notable for originating the ontological argument for the existence of God. After reading your annual bathing-suit issue, we believe.’
You’ll love Leslie Sturgeon’s story of rolling the dice on inviting a very famous (and expensive) speaker to their annual NH Conference for Women. Did it pay off? Listen and get the story from Leslie herself.
His four terms as mayor were not without their controversies. City councilors balked at the extravagant notion of paying for city sidewalks, for example. Furthermore, Frederick Smyth’s efforts to upgrade conditions at the “House of Reformation for Juvenile Offenders ” were derided as “a $40,000 Palace for Prostitutes” – bet that headline got some pulses racing back in 1855 – but it was a time when Smyth was out of office, as was the case in July 1863, that his true commitment to public service was even more in evidence.

In the end, does it come down to willingness to change or cost efficiency?
Recently, we spoke with someone who does not live in Manchester and has young children. They fully recognize that living in Manchester would highly benefit them professionally but are frankly “scared” of the Manchester School District. The reality is great work is being done under the leadership of Dr. Livingston and her staff, yet the constant barrage of negativity around our schools threatens this progress.
This book tells the story of Liesel Meminger, a young orphan sent to live with a German family during World War II. Throughout the book we watch Liesel grow up under the Nazi regime and learn about how she came to love books and become the “Book Thief.”
