Thank you to Olia Webb for the May 11 letter condemning the recent barbaric Wyoming incident in which a young wolf was intentionally run over with a snowmobile, tortured and killed for the amusement of the perpetrator. The letter writer poses an...

For many reasons I was strongly in the Rebuild at Rundlett camp. I saw my property taxes increasing and valuable green space being paved over. However, I began to consider the kind of city that I wish to live in and realize that this decision will...

Trump reiterates he will not accept the results of the November election unless he wins. When president, he states he will rewrite the U.S. Constitution to his liking; punish his long list of domestic enemies; reward insurrectionists with pardons; is...

Having lived in Concord for over 50 years, I was fortunate to have been invited to see Mamma Mia! at Concord High. It was amazing! Magnificent voices, fabulous choreography, and great musical accompaniment all made this a very special event indeed! If...

The news of Palestinians in Gaza being bombed, starved, subject to artillery fire, and imprisoned, is hard to watch. It is understandable that the young people in our country are moved to protest on college campuses. I remember the anti-Vietnam...

Although some may feel that Donald Trump is being unfairly picked on, it makes me wonder if former Congressman Frank Guinta feels the same. Years ago, he was accused of misrepresenting campaign funds that he said were his, but weren’t. In the end, he...

As schoolchildren we learned that George Washington crossed the ice-clogged Delaware River in an open boat to rout the British in Trenton, New Jersey on Christmas Day 1776. The next year he had to overwinter at frigid Valley Forge, mostly in a humble...

America has become a country that depends on multiple-income families for a thriving economy, yet we do a dismal job of supporting working parents. That’s why parents pledged to stand with providers on May 13 to host a Day Without Childcare, put the...

The May 1 crackdown on nonviolent protestors at Dartmouth, carried out by state and local police in riot gear, was a great overreaction. There had been no credible reports of violent acts or antisemitic harassment by the pro-Palestinian...

We are inundated with so much disinformation and name-calling. Let me explain what a Republican is. We believe in God. We believe in America. We believe in families. We believe in safe streets and an effective justice system to keep them. If these...

I have enjoyed Robert Azzi’s opinion columns in the past, especially those in earlier years that offered solid and welcome information on Islam and its adherents’ practices. Sorry to say these have morphed into a terribly one-sided view of the...

In response to the My Turn written by former NH legislators Deborah Reynolds, Polly Campion and Sue Ford (Monitor, 5/11), I would argue that there are a number of different accomplishments and capabilities that can make for a successful federal...

The article highlighting Stephen Donahue’s volunteer work as a local scout leader recognizes a true local hero. Boys and girls joining scouting thrive in the atmosphere of such role models! His own leadership, coupled with that of various parents who...

This year the Biden Administration rolled out two technology changes. The first was a revamp of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The second was a new portal that makes it easier to file your income tax. One change was supposed to...

On Feb. 29, Cody Roberts of Daniel, Wyoming intentionally ran over a young wolf with his snowmobile. He then taped its snout, to a bar where he displayed this injured wolf for photos and laughs, all the while ignoring its suffering, pain, and fear. He...

Did you switch back to undeclared (i.e. “independent”) at the January presidential primary? Are up sure? Voters who are registered as undeclared may choose which party’s ballot they want to vote at a primary. The voter legally becomes registered as a...

A Monitor My Turn concluded that HB 1283 would not impact overall NH suicide rates based on data from Oregon. In 1998, Oregon became the first state to legalize physician-assisted suicide (PAS) for people with terminal illnesses. While the overall...

Ann Fournier, faculty member honored to address graduating students, insisted that she was entirely an “ordinary” person. For example, she did not give formal prepared lectures, she continued with a litany of her “ordinary” habits. I was afraid that...

Michael Moffett’s attack on educators and journalists in his review of an article about Hannah Duston is a display of his vast ignorance of history and facts, disguised as scholarly musing. Hannah Duston was born in a colony of Great Britain, making...

I have always loved baseball and growing up in the NY Metropolitan Area in the 1950s and early 60s had the opportunity to attend ball games at Ebbets Field, The Polo Grounds and The House That Ruth Built prior to 1957. I witnessed the great ones;...
