Danielle Gelinas works hard to keep her customers happy at the Red Arrow Diner near the Concord airport. She hustles to get plates on tables and keep coffee cups full.
Most times customers are appreciative and generous. Sometimes, they leave her a few cents or less.
When it’s all averaged out, Gelinas figures she makes between $15 and $25 an hour. It’s decent when times are good, like they are now, but the unpredictability of the pay is difficult to live with.

CROYDON Dennis and Kathy Griffin’s grandson Clayton, a seventh grader at Mount Royal Academy in Sunapee, has been attending the Catholic pre-K-12 school for the past seven years. But this is the first year that tax dollars will be contributing to his tuition.

When I read recently that historians had updated their ranking of American presidents, it wasn’t Donald Trump I was curious about.
I mean, really. You knew his rating was going to be low. Historians see him as Bluto Blutarsky from
Animal House, whose memorable lines included, “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?” and, “Food fight!”
Still, 30% or 40% of Americans think Trump was the best thing since sliced bread; as many or more think Trump Bread would be just another scam, every loaf stuffed with sawdust. There is no settling this divide.
