Newlyweds killed in fiery crash
NASHUA — Just before Deerwood Drive dead-ends at a set of railroad tracks, a community was getting together yesterday to mourn the loss of a young husband and wife.
Paulo Manhoni, 20, and wife Stefany, 18, made a trip to Nashua from their home in Canaan to visit family and attend church every week. On the way home early Sunday morning, New Hampshire State Police say, Stefany likely fell asleep at the wheel of the couple’s Ford Explorer on Interstate 89 in Sutton.
The truck left the northbound lane of the highway, hit a large boulder in the median and burst into flames, police said. Both Manhonis were pronounced dead at the scene.
By mid-day yesterday, both actual and church family had gathered at 118 Deerwood, the small apartment of Maria and Paulo Manhoni Sr., to try to make sense of the loss to their community.

Arguing against having a federal halfway house in Manchester, city leaders say Manchester already bears more than its share of the state’s social responsibilities.
But an informal survey of adult and juvenile correctional facilities, residential homes for troubled children, substance abuse treatment centers and community residences for people with developmental and behavioral disabilities shows they are fairly widely distributed across New Hampshire.

Hunky-dory NCAA Regional
MANCHESTER — When you’re trying to put on an event like this weekend’s NCAA Division I Northeast Regional hockey tournament — especially when you’re doing it for the first time — something has to go wrong. It just has to.
But everything we read, heard and saw about the way the University of New Hampshire and the people at the Verizon Wireless Arena collaborated on this venture was positively hunky-dory. I came across so many feel-good stories that I began feeling like a public relations flack. I needed to get back to some hard-hitting journalism, do some digging. I needed the other side of the story. I needed dirt.
More BC tops Michigan in OT to advance

MANCHESTER — No way was Ben Eaves leaving the ice.
Trainer Bert Lenz used ice and his hands to work the cramped quad on the right leg of Boston College’s best player feverishly and Eaves, after missing a couple of shifts, gingerly slid onto the ice for a faceoff in the Michigan end.
BC controlled the faceoff and put another flurry of shots on Michigan goalie Al Montoya. Eaves had the puck and shot a backhand and Montoya stopped that one. But the puck popped in the air and Eaves reacted and batted it and knocked it into the back of the net.

IN CASE YOU missed it, there was a story in the New Hampshire Sunday News last week about local employers who were honored for their support of employees who are serving in the Guard and Reserves.

The awards were presented as part of a federal program called Employee Support for the Guard and Reserve — ESGR for short — and local recipients included the town of Salem, Turbocam Inc. of Dover and the Manchester branch of a national engineering and architectural firm called Edwards and Kelcey.
The companies were cited for providing things such as paid differential and continuing health-care coverage to deployed workers and their families and — just as importantly — for providing them with ongoing emotional support. More
