Everyone walks for the animals with the SPCA – including the animals
The Pope Memorial SPCA held its annual Walk for the Animals on Sunday at Northeast Delta Dental, with two different walking courses and a host of vendors and other entertainment. We’d make a dog pun here, but we’d rather just tell you how much of a treat it was to be there.

EagleSquare-CI-070814
During one of our routine daily knowledge enrichment exercises (OK, we were wandering around and opening every drawer in the building trying to find a plastic fork), we stumbled upon two folders full of Monitor file photos and stories about the history of Eagle Square. And there was so much good stuff in there, we had to share it with you, our beloved readers! Turns out the square has undergone more facelifts than Joan Rivers. It was...
So how difficult can golf possibly be?
Keith and Tim took to the course at Beaver Meadow to see just how difficult it is to play this game. And by course we mean the practice green, because it would have been silly for Beav personnel to let them go any farther.
BikeTricks-CI-062414
The back parking lot at Makris Lobster House turned into a motorcycle trick showcase Friday afternoon as part of the bike week celebration, which doesn’t make it all that different than the Insider parking lot on any given afternoon (actually yes, it does).

We tagged along as Havenwood residents learned to make maple syrup
Keith was no sap for following the progress of this sweet project from beginning to end. We’re out of syrup puns.
Domestic violence vigil set for May 4
What can faith communities do to help end the silent crimes of domestic and sexual violence? They can give women a safe place to tell their stories and hear, perhaps for the first time, these words: “We believe you” or “This is not your fault.” More than nine faith communities in Merrimack County are banding together to say, “We will be silent no more.” On the weekend of May 2, these communities will hold discussions, provide...

CupsTim-CI-041514
When it comes to trying new things, we at the <em>Insider </em>are game for just about anything. So when we found out about the Beaver Meadow School Speed Stacking Club, we wasted no time getting in on the fun. So last week, reporter Tim Goodwin tested his hand eye coordination against the group of third, fourth and fifth graders.
Preach on, scavenger hunters
A few weeks back, we sent you all over the city in search of churches, with a few clues in your back pocket (well, they were only in your pocket if you crumpled up the newspaper and stuffed it in there.). Anyway, we have a winner! Betsy Peabody was the first to correctly identify all eight churches, and she’s now the proud owner of a $20 gift certificate to the church, we mean, business of her choice in Concord. Congratulations Betsy,...
