Today's riddle: What gets wetter & wetter as it dries? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
1. Protection Order Reason To Flee Fatal Police Shooting, Dad of Dead Man Says (indepthnh.org) — A Manchester family is still seeking answers after 24-year-old Nickenley Turenne was fatally shot by Manchester police during a December 2025 foot pursuit that began near Green Acre School and Mammoth Road. His girlfriend, family, advocates, and their attorney are pressing state investigators for body-camera footage, transparency, and potential civil-rights action while monthly rallies and community meetings continue in the city.
2. New Hampshire small businesses left with questions after Supreme Court tariff ruling (wmur.com) — A longtime Manchester staple, Angela’s Pasta and Cheese shop, is feeling the squeeze from tariffs on imported goods but can’t directly apply for refunds under a new federal process. Owner Steven Freeman is now hoping any refunds larger importers receive will eventually lower his wholesale costs and, in turn, prices for Manchester customers.
3. Victim lawyers seek to strike down settlement fund changes (unionleader.com) — Manchester residents who suffered abuse at the former Youth Development Center are challenging recent state budget changes that shifted control of the victim settlement fund to the governor and attorney general. Their lawyers have asked the New Hampshire Supreme Court to restore the original, more independent process for deciding compensation claims, arguing the state broke its promise to survivors who chose the fund over lawsuits.
4. National Fentanyl Awareness Day highlights opioid overdose concerns in New Hampshire (wmur.com) — Manchester is projected to see high numbers of suspected opioid overdoses this year, even as deaths decline thanks in part to wider Narcan access. Local responders and recovery workers warn fentanyl remains powerful and dangerous, urging continued awareness and support for people struggling with addiction. Resources like the national substance abuse hotline are highlighted for anyone needing help.
5. Weekly Entertainment Report: Live music and lively arts, April 30-May 3 (inklink.news) — Looking for something to do in Manchester this weekend?
