Goodlander described the climate crisis as an “existential threat” to our country and made the connection between climate issues and National Security.
As a student, a chance encounter with an American foreign exchange student changed her view of the world. He showed her a pocket version of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence
“The Constitution and Declaration of Independence brought me to this country. I heard about it from another third-year student, which is a college degree in China. An American student introduced me to the concept of individuality and personal liberty and that all men are created equal. What a concept. I never heard that before, I never heard that under communist rule!”
With no fanfare and only his wife there to see him off, Matty Gregg began an epic project this morning. Starting on the Massachusetts border at the southern edge of the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua he ran the first steps of his 8 day 230 mile journey to help fight hunger in New Hampshire.
He is running the equivalent of a marathon a day to reach the Canadian border in Pittsburg NH to raise awareness of food insecurity in NH and to raise funds for NH Hunger Solutions (NHHS). This is a man on a mission.
Bennet voiced his support for Goodlander by saying, “Maggie’s instincts arise from the best impulses of something like that Gang of Eight negotiations where you have Republicans and Democrats sitting together for months and months trying to do the hard work of legislating for this country.”
“Maggie will be a breath of fresh air in this time. We got people at each other’s throats down there. I think she will be able to reach across the aisle and get things done,” he said.
“My Dad’s sense of him was that he was a staggeringly honest person for politics. My Father committed his life to public service and so he was happy to work for an elected official who was as honest as he believed Jimmy Carter to be.”
“I would say that Jimmy Carter demonstrated both when he was President and particularly the years after he was President what it means to be a committed citizen of this country, to this democracy.
A candidate for Governor, a big city Mayor two housing advocates, an Executive Council candidate, a State Senator, and a State representative walk into an apartment building. This sounds like a setup for a joke but it was an actual event to highlight the serious issues of affordable housing facing New Hampshire.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Joyce Craig and Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess met with the team from NeighborWorks Southern New Hampshire (NWSNH) to tour the new apartment building at 249 Main Street
He does not just run for pleasure or competition. He often runs to effect positive change. In 2018 he ran the 5,425 miles from California to New Hampshire to support the Firefighter Cancer Support Network. He has raised over $600,000 for charitable causes with his runs.
On Thursday morning he will step into his running shoes once again and depart Nashua on his next charity run. Gregg will begin an 8-day 230-mile run from Nashua to Pittsburgh, NH to support NH Hunger Solutions (NHHS).
I have been working as a professional photographer for nearly fifty years. No matter where my work takes me or the type of photography I have to produce for clients I always make a point of breaking out my camera and getting out in the landscape of New England at this time of year. The emerging colors and the dynamics of weather and light all come into play to provide an irresistible photography subject.
The fall foliage season has given me decades of fun and photographic creativity. It is a captivating subject for photographers of all skill levels
New Hampshire’s annual Fall ritual, the 2024 Deerfield Fair is underway this weekend. Judging by the crowds who came in droves today and the forecast for perfect fall weather for the weekend this may turn out to be a banner year for the fair.
The fair will be open Saturday from 8 am to 6 pm and on Sunday from 8 am to 10 pm. This will be the last two days of this year’s edition of the historic agricultural fair.
“We take our federal elections very seriously, We understand the weight our endorsement has in the state, throughout the country, and especially at the point where our politics are, as divided as they are right now. We appreciate how important this race is to the rest of the country, said Ryll.
“We have collaborated with the IAFF and discussed the endorsement. It was a no-brainer for us to endorse Goodlander today.”
