Good morning, Nashua.

At a MLK Day celebration held Monday at Manchester Memorial High School, the NH MLK Coalition honored former State Senator Melanie Levesque with the 2026 MLK Jr. Award; she spoke on racism and future plans while rising leader State Rep. Alice Wade was also recognized.

The YMCA of Greater Nashua is set for a leadership change as CEO Mike LaChance retires in August and COO Joe Manzoli takes over.

The nonprofit will launch a listening tour in spring and summer and unveil $2.5M upgrades to the Early Education Center in early February to meet rising community needs.

Japanese Kei trucks, known for their small engines and low prices, are gaining popularity among locals as they combine fun design with workhorse reliability.

Granite State Imports in Hopkinton sells these trucks for $6,500 to $11,000 (owners customize them for farm work, music gear rides, and daily errands).

New Hampshire residents should be cautious with digital party invites that look like they come from people they know, as a phishing scam has recently increased in the area.

The scam tricks recipients into clicking links that capture email passwords (experts urge avoiding suspicious emails).

Sauna Culture in the 603 is making a modern comeback as new spaces pair hot rocks with cold plunges to help locals relax and connect (a revival of an ancient tradition).

A NH company is crafting custom sauna retreats while UNH Aerial Dancers continue to inspire with dynamic performances.

Bitter cold air chills the region today with gusty winds and highs in the teens while forecasts show a second arctic blast arriving Thursday.

Impact weather days this weekend will feature highs in the teens and lows near or below zero (with light snow possible if a storm tracks north).

State officials say the Medicaid premium system for enrollees at or above 100% of the federal poverty level may conflict with a federal cost-sharing cap of $35 per service starting in October 2028.

The Department of Health is asking Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for guidance on the policy.

A contract for a mural at Renaissance Park is scheduled for reconsideration today at 7 p.m. in aldermanic chambers at City Hall after a previous vote rejected the $105,000 cost for exceeding the $100,000 budget, and if approved, it will go before the full Board.
