On November 5, 1976 Dorothy Milliken was murdered.

Join author Sharon Kitchens at Portsmouth Public Library as she talks about her new book examining a cold case from Maine: The Murder of Dorothy Milliken. Who was Dorothy? And why has her killer never been found?

A portion of the profits from the sale of the book are being donated to the Forensic Anthropology Identification and Recovery (FAIR) Lab at the University of New Hampshire. The FAIR Lab trains students to excavate, recover and identify human remains.

Building Foundations of Caregiving will help attendees identify the role of caregivers, explain relationship changes that may happen over time while you are caregiving, describe the five areas of the person-centered care approach, identify possible members of a caregiving support team, and list action steps that help lower caregiver stress. 

There will be time for questions and comments, and follow-up material will be made available.

Discolored water results when water traveling through the water mains reaches high enough velocities to stir the sediment lying in the bottom of the water mains. Water main breaks, fire fighting activities, and extremely high system demand are typical causes of discolored water. There are no health risks associated with this type of problem, as the particulate matter causing the discoloration is not harmful.
