We expanded to 4 pages with this issue. It is looking like the Free Keene Press will be putting out an independent quarterly publication for the Keene area starting with a release slated for the autumnal equinox. Keep an eye on freekeene.com for more information!
The State does not like talking about the New Hampshire State Constitution as Ian Freeman disputes a parking violation in Keene District Court, Wednesday, April 28th, 2010.

Thanks to BJ Wurts for the great letter about his trip to Keene.
The Free Keene Press is going to be looking to expand the amount of pages we have to fill. The next edition will be four pages instead of one. This means I am going to need more Keene-centric content and could use some help with that task. Currently I am paying for the printing costs out of pocket, with the cost going from $70 to $200, I will also need help paying for the printing costs. I am open to the idea of running some ads and pricing is negotiable.
What I am looking for as far as content is:
Articles in general
Photographs with caption or brief context description
Re-printable art
Opinion pieces
Comics, puzzles
Press releases for events around Keene
In terms of the articles I would like to see:
Taxes
City Council watch type report
Events around the Keene area like Pumpkin Fest
Social needs and services and a critique thereof, both public and private
Important Cheshire county news stories
And much more of course. I plan on keeping an open mind as to what gets printed. You can submit an item for consideration by sending an email to press@freekeene.com.
And just to clarify things: By submitting you give the Free Keene Press permission to reprint and edit your item as we see fit. You will not be compensated. You will be credited and if your item is edited a note will be made. Please limit profanity. More than likely if an edit is made it will be for length.
If you have questions please feel free to email the above address.
Brandon Durham of Keene found the morning of October 19, 2009 a little chilly. He was walking to the courthouse wearing a hooded sweatshirt and found that putting the hood up kept his head warmer. He entered the City Hall building and proceeded up the stairs and through the security checkpoint. Brandon then entered the courtroom and took a seat while he waited for the judge to enter the room and process the days docket.
A bailiff approached Brandon and asked him to remove his hood.
Brandon forgot he even had it on and declined when asked to remove it.
