‘We need to take seriously the public health aspect of opiate addiction and overdose’

read more…: ‘We need to take seriously the public health aspect of opiate addiction and overdose’

We need to take seriously the public health aspect of opiate addiction and overdose. Instead of focusing on filling more jail cells, we should commit to making more health resources available to those who need them. At the end of the day, drug addiction is solely a medical issue. I have been proud to work with my legislative colleagues here in New Hampshire to tackle these issues in a rational, compassionate way, and urge our representatives in Congress to do the same.

Hubie McDonough Jr. was both an umpire and emcee extraordinaire. “Coach Hubie” was a multi-gallon blood donor to the Red Cross Blood Bank. He was a man of integrity, patriotism and great humor.

“My child came home with another student’s notebook. When I asked my child about who it belonged too, they said it belonged to a friend in their class. I noticed inside the notebook that there were suggestive pictures in the book. On another page there was a note that said “please stop hurting me.” I am so worried about this child and I don’t know what to do!”

Amazing Grace: Evolution of a prison letter-writing ministry

John, a prisoner in California, is a prolific writer, sending me 20 letters in 2012, 38 in 2013, 58 in 2014 and over 40 already in 2015. Letters are often delayed in being delivered so it is not uncommon to hear from him for several weeks that he has received no mail from me even though I write fairly regularly. Even the slightest break in my letter-writing would bring an apologetic letter saying he hoped he had not offended me in any way.

Letters: Defending school employee’s right to free speech on Facebook

If First Amendment rights to freedom of speech exist within the public school setting, is it logical to believe that public school employees lose their rights to free speech outside of their employment? I am concerned that a reporter and two school board members are so unacquainted with the rights of free speech.

OK, the track was in Londonderry. What the owners lacked in geography, they made up for in their ability to market the midgets.
