I was recently THROWN OUT of my Planet Fitness location in Belmont, NH, where I have been a member for 7 years, for refusal to wear the Mask of the Beast. On June 24, I had entered the facility, employed their “touchless” scanner and proceeded to the exercise area where, pursuant to State “guidelines,” masks are not required. I was publicly accosted by staff who yelled at me from across the gym that I “needed to have a mask.” I replied that I was exercising and wasn’t required to have one.

I’m not sure if it’s the federal Covid money, political posturing or

WHERE’S THE EMERGENCY!? On Friday, May 8th, Monadnock Community Hospital in Peterborough announced it was furloughing over one hundred employees.

The only solution to this problem is obviously to vote out all of those responsible and replace them with individuals that understand the value
