Weather forecast:
1. SAU 16 Communities Welcome New School Board Members (patch.com) — Newly elected SAU 16 school board members, including Exeter’s own Shonni Holmes and district‑wide representative Cameron Kittle, are stepping into key roles that shape local schools. Residents in Exeter, Brentwood, East Kingston, and Stratham can expect these parents and community leaders to influence budgets, curriculum priorities, and how inclusive and supportive local classrooms feel for every student.
2. NH patents through April 18 (concordmonitor.com) — An Exeter-based medical technology company, Vapotherm, and seven Exeter inventors have been granted a new U.S. patent for high velocity nasal insufflation, highlighting cutting-edge respiratory innovation rooted in town. The roundup also lists numerous other New Hampshire-linked patents in fields from cyber security to medical devices, underscoring the state’s broader tech and engineering activity.
3. Firefighters honored for rescuing woman from smoke‑filled Hampton home (seacoastonline.com) — Hampton firefighters were formally honored this week for rescuing a woman from a smoke‑filled Winnacunnet Road home during a 2025 fire, a rescue officials say likely saved her life. Exeter crews were among several Seacoast departments that provided mutual aid, underscoring how closely local fire services work together when serious emergencies strike nearby communities.
4. Landscape changes in college sports prompt St. Anselm's move to Division III (unionleader.com) — A standout Saint Anselm men’s basketball player from Exeter is reeling after the college announced it will drop from Division II to Division III, ending athletic scholarships after 2029-30. The move, driven by transfer-portal and NIL pressures, will shift Saint Anselm into the NEWMAC and reshape long-standing rivalries with schools like Southern New Hampshire University and Bentley.
