Today's riddle: What dries when it gets wet? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
1. Healthy D'Urso leading the way for Bedford lacrosse team (unionleader.com) — A standout performance from junior Bryce D’Urso is powering Bedford High School’s boys lacrosse team, as he scored six goals in an 11-8 win over Exeter. After two seasons cut short by collarbone injuries, D’Urso is healthy, boosting both the Bulldogs’ lacrosse squad and fresh off a championship football season.
2. Open enrollment bill's future uncertain after GOP split (vnews.com) — A key statewide school-choice bill is in limbo, and Bedford’s own Rep. Kristin Noble sits on the small committee that could decide its fate but has not said when it will meet. The proposal would let students attend any public district, shifting state funding and raising concerns about property taxes, special education costs, and impacts on poorer communities across New Hampshire.
3. State House Dome: Senate GOP hope its move on campus carry doesn't cost them (unionleader.com) — Bedford readers get a brief mention in this wide-ranging look at State House politics, where local Democrat Matt McLaughlin is again eyeing the state Senate seat held by Republican Denise Ricciardi of Bedford. The column also tracks campus carry maneuvering, tax debates, landfill talks, and early positioning in major 2026 races that could shape statewide policy affecting local residents.
4. Richard Raymond Russell (nashuatelegraph.com) — Family and friends of Richard Raymond Russell are being asked to consider memorial donations to Bedford Hospice on Bedford Farms, directly connecting this remembrance to the Bedford community. Russell, a longtime New Hampshire resident, died April 25 at age 80, with private services and burial planned in Hudson. Online condolences are being accepted through the Nashua funeral home handling arrangements.
