Today's riddle: What has a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Manufactured homes in single-family neighborhoods? (nhbr.com) — Manchester is one of five New Hampshire cities where new federal housing rules will tie some Community Development Block Grant funding to how quickly new homes are built, potentially rewarding or penalizing the city's housing production. The broader ROAD to Housing Act also encourages more flexible use of manufactured homes, which could eventually reshape starter-home options across Manchester and the state.
2. WFEA, Manchester Promotes Prostate Cancer Awareness (talkers.com) — A Manchester-based WFEA "Morning Update" roundtable recently focused on prostate cancer, urging local men to talk with their doctors about screening and PSA tests. New Hampshire Prostate Cancer Coalition leaders joined host Jeff Chidester to stress early detection and open conversations for families across the state.
3. Temple Adath Yeshurun expands high holidays program with new spiritual leader (inklink.news) — Temple Adath Yeshurun in Manchester has welcomed Cantor Harriet Dunkerley as its new spiritual leader and is expanding High Holiday services for families. Local residents are invited to join revamped, kid-friendly Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur programs alongside traditional worship, with contact details provided for anyone interested in attending.
4. Two residents, state trooper injured at Sununu Center (unionleader.com) — Two residents and a state trooper were hurt during a Thursday evening disturbance at the Sununu Youth Services Center in Manchester, where juveniles allegedly threatened others with improvised weapons. Injuries were described as superficial, but the episode comes as multiple investigations into conditions and treatment at the facility continue.
5. Central tops West, Salem beats Bedford in Queen City Jamboree (unionleader.com) — Manchester Central edged Manchester West 14–6 at Gill Stadium during the Queen City Football Jamboree, highlighted by big plays from Romello Diaz and Liam Patten.
