Good morning, Keene.

Keene State’s lifelong learning program for older adults resumes this week at the college after winter and spring sessions were canceled due to staffing and resource constraints.

The city is flushing water mains (to clear built-up sediment), so residents may see discolored water from their faucets over the next few weeks as officials work to maintain water quality.

Lynsey Pursell-Kadlik will begin her new role as restorative justice director at county hall on Oct.

5 (her appointment shows the program's success in action).

Drivers can enjoy five scenic fall drives around the Monadnock Region, including a route along the Connecticut River from Keene to Walpole with stops for apple picking and historic shops.

Foliage is only 5-15% now, so planning trips for mid- to late October is wise.
