Today's riddle: What did the Buffalo say when his son left? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Woman charged after driving away from officers, refusing arrest: Merrimack police (wmur.com) — Merrimack police say a driver from Colebrook is facing multiple charges after allegedly hitting roadside signs, driving erratically near Wire Road, and refusing to get out of her car when officers stopped her on Baboosic Lake Road. She was taken into custody and is being held on preventive detention ahead of a scheduled court appearance on Aug. 24.
• New Hampshire businesses weigh in on new wave of US-imposed tariffs on Canada (wmur.com) — A Merrimack brewery is already feeling the squeeze from new U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, with can prices fluctuating and worries about other supplies. Other New Hampshire businesses that depend on Canadian customers or imports are also reporting fewer visitors and rising costs, as Canada prepares retaliatory tariffs starting Sept. 8.
• 'It was a good thing for him': Hundreds of clients, staff hit by Easterseals NH program closures (nepm.org) — Easterseals NH is closing its adult day programs in Manchester and Rochester and ending in-home care statewide, affecting hundreds of vulnerable clients and caregivers. One Hooksett caregiver says the VA has suggested a replacement program in Merrimack, but transportation and long drives could undercut the relief she needs while her husband continues receiving essential support.
