Police officers, in Nashua and every other city in America, perform a number of services in the course of their job that citizens never see.

And since the beginning, open or unlocked doors have always been found.
I would have gone to the Centennial even if I was not working at the event. My daughter Lucy went to Mount Pleasant; I was a member of the Mount Pleasant PTO during all the time she was there; and one of the joys of my life was arranging programs for the children at Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant is where I got to meet and make connections with my neighbors in the North End. Mt. Pleasant is more than a neighborhood school; it is a community hub made up of the most dedicated and compassionate staff I have ever known.

Gone was the separation between City Watch and Special Officers along with the separate City Watch budget. The department now had its own budget of an amount commensurate with the real needs of the city.
After all my worries pre-primary, the primary went fine. People were cheery and nice, for the most part, and things went fairly smoothly. I realized that I had been worrying for nothing, until we heard a couple of people talk about how they were going to come and challenge people at the general election.
Sigh.
As children, the Lemen kids ate the food prepared for us: mostly by my mother and my father’s mother. Grammie Lemen made Lithuanian food: potato pancakes and kielbasa and boiled cottage cheese dumplings and cabbage soup and borscht. For dessert we begged for what we called twisters, but were actually Žagarėliai, or angelwings (why my grandmother did not call them angelwings is beyond me), a fried dough covered in powdered sugar.
