Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Keene Asks Residents to Weigh In on Robin Hood Park Phase II Plans (magic967.com) — Keene is asking residents and regular Robin Hood Park visitors to complete an online survey that will shape Phase II upgrades, including a new playground, multi-sport court, program building, and better parking and access. Your feedback will help determine features like play equipment, restrooms, traffic patterns on Robin Hood Lane, and an accessible fishing dock, and will also support the city's push for federal funding.
• Keene, Londonderry Sue Over PFAS in Firefighter Turnout Gear (mykeenenow.com) — Keene is joining Londonderry in a federal class-action lawsuit seeking to recover the cost of replacing firefighter turnout gear they say contains PFAS "forever chemicals." City officials argue manufacturers knew of health risks but failed to warn buyers, and they want compensation to switch Keene's 58 firefighters to PFAS‑free gear and potentially help other New Hampshire departments do the same.
• Truck owner says suspect in Keene manhunt stole his vehicle (wmur.com) — A police manhunt that came through Keene ended with troopers using a tire-deflation device on Route 9, sending a stolen truck off the road and into the woods. The truck's owner now faces about $20,000 in damage and towing costs, and is unsure whether insurance will help, but says he's relieved no one was hurt.
