📰 News we're reading

1. Concord Man Arrested On Cocaine Sale, Drug Possession Charges On The Heights: Concord Police Log (patch.com) — Concord residents can see a detailed rundown of recent police activity across the city, including drug, assault, theft, and driving-related arrests at locations like Fort Eddy Road, Loudon Road, and downtown venues. The log emphasizes that these are charges, not convictions, and explains how people can request removal of their names from Patch police reports.
   

2. 'Give people a chance': For adults with developmental disabilities, the job market can be tough to navigate (concordmonitor.com) — A 25-year-old Concord resident with autism is juggling five local jobs while struggling to secure the extra hours he needs, highlighting how difficult the job market can be for adults with developmental disabilities. His story, centered on workplaces in Concord and nearby towns, shows both the barriers he faces from unresponsive employers and the difference that patient mentoring, written instructions, and supportive job coaching can make.
   

3. Overdue library magazine returned after 132 years (nhpr.org) — Concord Public Library just received a magazine first checked out in 1894, returned roughly 132 years late but spared any fines thanks to the library's new one-year freeze on overdue penalties. Staff plan to preserve and eventually display the unusually long, illustration-filled issue, turning an overdue mishap into a fun piece of Concord library history.
   

4. State House Dome: Chief Justice MacDonald went down swinging (unionleader.com) — Concord readers are directly touched by several developments here: a local lawyer has been nominated to help process hundreds of Youth Development Center settlement claims, and a major Civic Assembly on housing affordability will convene at the Grappone Conference Center later this month. The broader column also tracks state judicial turmoil, campaign maneuvering, and new efforts to regulate data centers that could shape New Hampshire's political and economic landscape.
   

5. Rochester, NH man charged with child exploitation offenses (seacoastonline.com) — Concord residents should know that local police and federal agents led an investigation that resulted in a Rochester man being indicted on serious child exploitation charges, with his first federal court appearance set in Concord this month. Authorities stress that the defendant remains presumed innocent, but the case underscores the role of Concord's police and courts in regional internet crimes against children enforcement.
