Editorial: Going to work  for GAR’s future

Monday, May 20, 2013

The process was convoluted, but voters spoke clearly Wednesday at Peterborough’s open session of Town Meeting. They want the town to sell the GAR Hall on Grove Street.

Monday, May 20, 2013

Dear editor: This is an overdue thank you to the Dublin Fire & Rescue and Peterborough Fire & Rescue who came to our house on a Sunday night to be sure our 2-year-old son was OK.

Monday, May 20, 2013

To the editor: We only recently enrolled our three year old child into the Pine Hill Child Care Center (PHCC). I did not, however, anticipate my deep sadness and confusion regarding its closure.

Letter: Big business is not the enemy

Wednesday, May 8, 2013

To the editor: There are pros and cons to everything but much of it hinges on what we like or dislike. If you like a big brand new school then it’s “good healthy development” whereas it’s “harmful impact” if you dislike a small Dollar General store. I was … 0

Letter: Ayotte reasoning doesn’t add up

Wednesday, May 8, 2013

Column: Ayotte: I voted to improve  background check system

Wednesday, May 8, 2013

Out of state special interests are running false ads attacking me and even lying about my efforts to prevent gun-related violence. I want to set the record straight: I support effective background checks and in fact voted recently to improve the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). … 0

Editorial: Forum on casino bill open to all

Monday, May 6, 2013

Some say casinos have no place in New Hampshire because they come with the type of social costs that will degrade the quality of life we hold so dear. Others contend we should build a casino because the windfall the state would receive will boost underfunded programs that … 0

Monday, May 6, 2013

Column: Where does ConVal go  from here?

Monday, May 6, 2013

On March 12, Articles 6 and 8 were defeated, and for some this might suggest that school consolidation, whether it was proposed by our School Board or by two concerned citizens, is not going to happen in the ConVal School District at this point in time. So where … 0

Letter: Support for  Ayotte on guns

Monday, May 6, 2013
