By KYLE LABELLE

Retirement may seem far away, but the choices you make today determine the lifestyle you will enjoy later.

FINDING A HOME: Elizabeth Goodhue – When peace gets taken away

I am going to tell you a true story that happened on Union Street in Peterborough at the end of a gloomy day in March. But I must take you back to a bright October day when the story began.

Letter: Thanks to ConVal School Board

I wish to thank our School Board members for the countless hours of work they've done on behalf of the ConVal School District. I know they couldn't please everyone all the time, but none of us can do that.

The Peterborough Recycling Advisory Committee would like to extend their gratitude to Laura Gingras and Monadnock Hospital.

Letter: Thank you for supporting kids in need

Every week when school is in session, we at End 68 Hours of Hunger send bags of groceries home from school with food-insecure children. That makes a big difference in their lives, but sometimes they need more. Families who don’t have enough money for food often don’t have enough for basic hygiene items either, and those are beyond the scope of our funding.

VIEWPOINT – New Hampshire’s public media is here for you – be here for public media

By JIM SCHACHTERand PETER FRID

Healthy communities stand on a foundation of trust. Trust springs from knowing your neighbors and their concerns, knowing that officials and institutions are honest and reliable and knowing there are forums where your voice can be heard.

Letter: Where was he?

News coverage made much of the president golfing after his tariffs were put into place. Yes, it is outrageous that after unilaterally implementing policies with negative effects worldwide, he would spend his time and energy dining and meeting with Saudi executives and sponsors of LIV Golf.

Letter: Cruelty is the policy

I cannot get my head around a country that allows the world’s richest man (someone who was never elected to any post, by the way) to randomly slash important programs that protect our most vulnerable citizens. (Tuesday, April 15 “Cuts affect local food pantries”).’

Viewpoint: Daniel Sullivan – A dark 100 days
