A man was lost. He wandered in the wilderness for a long while. From despair and confusion arose meaning, and he found himself.
The overhaul of American attitudes toward immigration has many fronts. One is the border, both the southern and northern frontiers. Another is workplaces — Mexican restaurants, manufacturing plants like the Hyundai facility where hundreds of Koreans recently were arrested — where the undocum…
Twenty-four years ago. Many of us recall exactly where we were and exactly what we were doing when we first heard the news. We remember with horror the images and the stories that shocked the world.
Taxpayers in the Claremont School District deserve our sympathy, but the school board and school administrators don't. Having overseen a financial fiasco strongly suggesting long-term inattention and incompetence, the superintendent and business administrator are now rusticating at home on f…
CONWAY — The radio station around here has a popular morning feature called "Talk of the Towns," and in the past week, the talk of the towns, and of New Hampshire more generally, has been Rudolph Giuliani's injury in an automobile accident.
Know that my mother is rolling over in her grave at this moment over the wildly improper grammar in a title penned by her progeny. I’m grinning at the thought, as I’m certain there’s life in the old gal yet! I wonder if she’d be able to stomach a reading of Mark Twain’s definitive masterpiec…
Conway is at a point where many important decisions lie before us, and each one extends far beyond the boundaries of a single project. Whether we are considering the proposed Phase 2 of the Rec Path, the reuse of the John Fuller property, the long-term stewardship of the Saco River corridor,…
It has been my honor to serve the citizens of Bartlett, its guests and surrounding mutual aid communities. My last day as your fire chief will be Sept. 5, 2025.
I was wrong. In my last column, while writing about gerrymandering, I noted that more than 53 percent of N.H. voters supported Democrats in State House races, but that Republicans won 55 percent of the seats due to the way districts were drawn. In fact, 51.2 percent of votes went to Repub…
Bookshelves and bookcases dominate my house, filling all the walls in every room and closet upstairs, as well as the guest room and living room on the first floor. Spillover occupies the front porch and the nook my wife calls her office. Most of the 3,000-or-so volumes consist of primary sou…
Sometimes public policy makers don’t see success, even as it stares them in the face.

Electric cars in the North Country? There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical. Range anxiety is one of the biggest, as there are only a few charging stations and charging takes longer than filling up with fossil fuel (gas, diesel or, in some cases, propane for commercial vehicles).
Donald Trump has begun to worry that he might be going to hell.
I was the lone dissenting vote on the Conway Board of Selectmen when the board recently agreed to take formal ownership of Phase 2 of the Rec Path project. I believe residents deserve to know why. This project may look like a simple path on paper, but beneath it lies a trail of legal uncerta…
For years, we've been assailed with warnings that the United States is about to collapse into dictatorship through the despotic impulses of Donald Trump. The doomsayers have done little, so far, but damage their own credibility by crying wolf. If the object of their terror harbors the ambiti…
