Today's riddle: What is clean when it is black and dirty when it is white? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Local students earn college honors and awards (ledgertranscript.com) — Several Peterborough students are being recognized for standout academic achievements, including multiple residents earning spots on Southern New Hampshire University's president's list and one accepted into the College of Charleston Honors College. The story also highlights impressive honors for neighboring-town students, showcasing strong regional academic performance.
• NH housing costs are a major driver of poverty, analysis finds (nhpr.org) — A Peterborough resident's struggle to find an affordable apartment highlights how New Hampshire's housing shortage is pushing more people, especially seniors and families, toward poverty and even homelessness. A new Pew analysis says high rents drive a significant share of overall and child poverty, and housing advocates are urging zoning changes, faster permitting, and more financing to expand the state's housing supply.
• Andrew Waycotte faces hearing after 10-hour standoff (ledgertranscript.com) — A Jaffrey man faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges after a high-speed chase through several Monadnock towns ended in a 10-hour standoff at a Hancock home, with the case now in Jaffrey-Peterborough District Court. Peterborough police helped manage the overnight scene before a tactical team took the suspect into custody without reported injuries.
