DOVER James Verschueren woke up the morning of April 26 to find his Hate Has No Home Here yard sign knocked over. The sky blue sign sticks out in the yard, with the American flag in the shape of a heart and bold letters in English and other languages beneath it. ‘Maybe it was the wind,’ he thought, until tire tracks caught his eye – swerving from the road into his flower bed of daylilies, directly to the downed sign. The sign was one of 100 purchased by the Dover Democratic Committee (Verschueren is a committee co-chair). The incident led a disheartened Verschueren to pen a letter to the editor asking the question: Does hate have a home here? ....
Joshua Deveer doesn’t try to fight his place in life anymore. “I used to think doing something was everything, and now I’m starting to realize that, maybe not doing something is everything,” says the 23-year-old from outside of a modest North Conway inn, where he pays $600 per month to live. “Maybe restricting my footprint here, making sure that I watch my steps is what’s most important.” In July of 2017, Deveer was pulled over by State Trooper Clinton Trussell and arrested on two misdemeanor charges and one violation: operating without a valid license, disobeying a police officer and possessing marijuana. ....

PORTSMOUTH Back when he applied for an officer position with the Portsmouth Police Department in 1995, Mark Newport had no thought of rising through the ranks or elevating himself to chief of police status. “This was never in the plans. I really wasn’t even planning on being a police officer,” he said. One month shy of celebrating 26 years serving the Port City community, alongside proudly holding the title of chief, Newport carries another badge of honor in his role serving as Portsmouth’s first Black chief of police. He was approved for the top position in January after a few months serving as interim chief following the departure of Chief Robert Merner on Oct. 7. ....
Credit COURTESY BLACK LIVES MATTER SEACOAST Black Lives Matter Seacoast held a virtual gathering Sunday night honoring area leaders who are people of color. It’s the first event like it for the group. Julian Maduro, Events Manager for BLM Seacoast, said that other events celebrating local leaders, such as Catapult Seacoast’s 10 to Watch Awards, have left out BIPOC leaders who do important work in their communities. “This event really was born from the idea and the realization that people of color in the Seacoast aren’t being recognized enough for the great, great work that they’re doing. We saw an event that recognized Seacoast leaders, but there were no people of color on that event list, and we thought that was a real shame,” said Maduro. ....
