This summer, Breezeline, the nation’s eighth-largest cable operator, teamed up with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats to raise funds for the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire’s STEAM Lab and STEAM programming.
One thing I know about addiction, or at least my addiction, is that it’s nearly impossible for the addicted to learn from the past. Or the present. Or even the almost-certain future. For example, the following four data points demonstrate that drug and alcohol use have a negative impact on my ability to hold a job. Before I left home at 17 to go to basic training, I’d been fired a number of times, including each of the following data points.
Every life has seasons and everyone experiences change. Some change is for the better, and some change is difficult and may result in setbacks. But one thing is for sure…change is inevitable.
If you haven’t thought about the primary, please take time to do so.
Pastor Renee Rouse anticipates the Sept. 30 Symposium, “Sowing Seeds of Healing,” at the Doubletree Hilton will be more of an open dialogue than a lecture, as it should be. It’s a topic that deserves to be aired in an atmosphere of love and healing.
Recovery has taught me a lot of things, beginning with how to live life without chemical assistance. When I was using and drinking, chemicals—whether powdered, pilled, herbal or liquid—solved all kinds of otherwise overwhelming problems. These solutions, of course, came with their own problems, but those challenges could be handled with more and different substances.
The 1750 Elm St. building has been a successful peregrine falcon nesting location for 23 consecutive years, producing a total of 74 chicks since 2001 and an average of 3.22 annually, according to New Hampshire Audubon.

The only money that belongs solely to me exists in a Venmo account where I’ve squirreled away my earnings from various writing projects over the years. The money was intended to be a little scratch with which I could gamble and make frivolous purchases that would incense my wife, such as a reprint of Leroy Neiman’s painting of the final frame of “Rocky III”.
While I have new thoughts bubbling up all the time, I’m not above stealing borrowing employing the fair-use doctrine to create derivative works for the purpose of satire.
The City of Manchester on Friday honored the Independence Day of El Salvador and National Hispanic Heritage Month with a flag raising ceremony at City Hall.
You know you’ve got a problem. You’re using every day, maybe drinking to black out every night. Maybe dope has stopped being a once-in-an-ever-increasing-while thing and has become a habit—which is what you suspect you’ve got. You feel like you might be powerless over the substance, but you’re pretty sure you can quit on your own.
Saturday’s street festival on Hanover Street will go on Sunday Sept. 17 as planned.
I haven’t had a drink or used any mind-altering substances since May 21, 2007, which seems a long time to many of you, long enough to raise the question of why I continue to go to various meetings and focus daily on my recovery.
It might be a rainy weekend but there’s still plenty to do!

Join young progressives this Thursday Sept. 14 for a FREE event of food, drinks, and fun!
Simply put: We need to build more housing. But four main factors stand in the way: the cost of lumber, the lack of labor, limits on land supply, and laws and regulations. To put it more succinctly: lumber, labor, land, and laws.
One individual who stands out as a true leader is Will Stewart, who exemplifies the best our community has to offer. He does so by showing up to diverse spaces humbly and open-minded, recognizing that he is continuously growing and learning. He is dedicated to bringing results to our city.
