Governors must act now on Piscataqua River Bridge suicide barriers: Letter

Dear Governor Ayotte, Governor Mills, and Representatives: I am writing to urge you both to take immediate, decisive action to install permanent suicide prevention barriers on the Piscataqua River Bridge connecting Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Kittery, Maine. We cannot continue to lose lives while this issue remains under study. The time for action is now. The repeated loss of life at this bridge is a devastating reminder that suicide prevention requires more than signs, crisis hotline numbers, and promises to explore possible solutions. Those resources are important, but they are not enough when a known, preventable danger remains in place. In April 2026, it was reported that an engineering feasibility study had recommended wire-net and rod-fencing systems for potential installation on the Piscataqua River Bridge. Despite this progress, a final decision and construction timeline had not been established. How many more lives must be lost before a permanent physical barrier becomes a priority? Suicide is a complex public health issue, and preventing it requires a comprehensive approach. Physical barriers are an important, evidence-informed prevention measure because they can interrupt an immediate crisis, create time for intervention, and help prevent an impulsive act from becoming a permanent tragedy. The Piscataqua River

Dover's 'can opener' Broadway bridge, known for stuck trucks, gets its own T-shirt

DOVER — The Broadway railroad bridge is so notorious for trucks getting stuck underneath, it has been called "the can opener" by some locals and is now featured on a T-shirt. There have been 10 truck strikes at the bridge so far in 2026, according to Dover police Capt. Mark Nadeau. There were six bridge strikes in 2025, seven in 2024 and nine in 2023. Foster's has reported for many years on strikes at the bridge, which was built in 1901. "It's crazy," said Joe Dirusso, who works at Papa Jay's Pizzeria, located very close to the steel truss bridge with a 9-foot, 6-inch clearance. "When it hits the bridge, it kind of sounds like the train ... like a bang of like cargo stopping. It kind of shakes the building. ... We go outside and then we see something hit the bridge." Dirusso said it's usually U-Hauls that hit the bridge, often operated by drivers unaware of the height of the truck they rented. Dirusso said the pizzeria staff hear trucks backing up all day because many truck drivers turn around to avoid getting stuck. Nadeau said this year’s bridge strikes include three U-Haul box trucks, one U.S. Postal

Dover waterfront home sells for $4.1M, tops Strafford County sales

The median price for single-family homes sold in Strafford County in October was $530,000, an increase from $519,999 in September. Adam Dean, principal broker/partner of Duston Leddy Real Estate , in a market analysis for October, said the market is slowing down. However, Dean said, well-priced homes in good shape can receive multiple offers, citing one property recently receiving seven offers. "That's still happening to properties of good value," said Dean. He said it will be interesting to see what happens in November following the midterm election. He noted the stock market "exploded" on Wednesday, Nov. 4, the day after the election. However, the market sustained large losses on Nov. 5. There were 24 Strafford County homes total sold in October in the $500,000-549,999 and $600,000-649,999 price ranges, according to a report provided by Dean. Dean also said it looks the market is getting a "slight bump" in the volume of listings. 3 HIGHEST-PRICED HOME SALES OF OCTOBER 74 Saddle Trail Drive, Dover: $4.1 million The most expensive home sold in the county in October was an "exceptional waterfront estate" at 74 Saddle Trail Drive for $4.1 million.

Little Bay is not spare commercial space: Russ McCann Jr.

Little Bay is not empty just because no one has built something on it. A quiet cove, an unobstructed shoreline and water a family can paddle across already serve a public purpose. They do not need floating cages to become valuable. That should be the starting point for decisions about expanding floating oyster farms in the Great Bay estuary. Instead, the public is too often asked to defend open water against an argument built around production, growth and restoration. Our answer is simple: the public’s use of the bay deserves its own place in the decision. New Hampshire should halt further floating expansion until it identifies suitable locations, protects established recreational areas and sets firm limits on acreage and equipment. Popular coves, public launch approaches and essential shoreline routes should be kept clear of floating farms. Oysters can provide environmental benefits. Growers can contribute to restoration. Neither point answers the question residents are asking: Why should this equipment occupy this particular stretch of water? A kayaker cannot paddle through a promise of economic benefit. A rower cannot use a route obstructed by equipment simply because the oysters beneath it filter water. An open navigation channel does not replace every shallow-water

Step inside Exeter’s art scene: Fall tour brings 14 studios and galleries to life

EXETER — Whether you’re looking for a weekend outing or already easing into the holiday season, Exeter’s annual Fall Art Tour offers a chance to meet local artists and see what’s new in town. The self‑guided tour runs Nov. 7–8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with 14 stops ranging from Water Street galleries to tucked‑away home studios opening their doors for the event. Visitors can explore fine art, craft, studio collectives and individual workspaces, all within a three‑mile radius and at their own pace. Lauren Hutton, owner of Avery Art in downtown Exeter and a member of this year’s organizing group, said the tour serves several purposes: it gives visitors a chance to explore local art in public storefronts while also offering a rare look inside the home studios where much of that work is created. She said it’s also a way for artists to connect with the community and for residents to “see how vibrant the art community is in Exeter.” Hutton said she has participated in the art tour for three years and has been excited to see it grow each year. This year, she was involved in helping Rose Bryant, the founder of Art Up Front
