We live in the new normal. So, when was your last day of the old normal? Were you heading into work? Dropping off your dry cleaning or the children at school? When’s the last time you sat in a restaurant and had dinner? Some of us can vaguely remember the last time we shook someone’s ...

Editor’s note: During the course of a week, issues are covered that might not lend themselves to full editorial comment, but they are worthy of The Telegraph weighing in – thumbs up, thumbs down or neutral. ––– Thumbs up to the Nashua Lions Club for announcing the recognition of ...

Life isn’t a soap opera, as much as it might feel like one right now. So, file this under, “guiding light.” As we wade through the troubled waters of this global pandemic, with schools and businesses closed, jobs furloughed or terminated and the feeling of despair in the air, for some ...

We are living through difficult – and unprecedented – times. Aside from those who lived through the Great Depression, no living souls know what truly hard, desperate times are like. A shining light, though, on full display in Greater Nashua and the Souhegan Valley is the generosity of ...

There are a few common themes that surround the COVID-19 pandemic. Clearly, uncertainty and concern are top among them, but so, too, is kindness. Does the latter surprise you? Don’t be. Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, a Swiss-American psychiatrist and pioneer in the field, once wrote, “When ...

We applaud New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu for issuing a stay-at-home order amid COVID-19 concerns in an attempt to further reduce the spread of the virus. The Telegraph had joined with key leaders – including Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess – in advocating for Sununu to take this precautionary ...

It is difficult, frankly, to view people refusing to join the rest of us in attempting to contain the COVID-19 coronavirus as anything but spoiled brats. The vast majority of them appear to be young. At least reports from our country, such as those of college students packing beaches for ...

Thank you. These two simple words are immensely powerful. Today, we want to offer this heartfelt sentiment to all those who are navigating this fluid and, yes, admittedly scary, landscape of COVID-19 and the changes this has brought to our communities and everyday life as we know it - at ...

“Wherever the real power in a Government lies, there is the danger of oppression. In our Governments, the real power lies in the majority of the Community, and the invasion of private rights is chiefly to be apprehended, not from the acts of Government contrary to the sense of its ...

As schools, businesses, libraries and nonprofits call off events because of the coronavirus – and general concerns increase – local residents have shifted their attention to stocking up on essential supplies. This, of course, is smart and – in essence – human nature. That said, though, ...

If the booming stock market during the past couple of years has prompted you to consider whether your 401K will permit early retirement, forget it. Stocks, and thus pension funds on which many Americans rely, have taken a beating during the past month. How bad is it? During the month that ...

By Thursday, 1,561 schools throughout the United States had been closed because of concern that keeping them open might help COVID-19 — the coronavirus — spread. Both at the local level in our area and among state officials, the COVID-19 situation is being watched warily. It may prove ...
