New Hampshire has been named the 3rd best state to have a baby in. With August being one of the most popular months for newborn arrival and Americans paying the highest birthing costs in the world, the personal-finance website WalletHub released today its report on 2017’s Best & Worst States to Have a Baby.
To determine the most ideal places in the U.S. to have a baby, WalletHub’s analysts compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 20 key measures of cost, health care accessibility, as well as baby- and family-friendliness. The data set ranged from hospital conventional-delivery charges to annual average infant-care costs to pediatricians per capita.
New Hampshire ranked third behind Minnesota and Vermont. According to the study the granite state ranked second when it came to lowest hospital cesarean-delivery charges, third for conventional delivery charges, and first for lowest infant mortality rate.

Mechanic Falls, ME – The lawsuit over the death of a Maine teen involved in a hayride crash has been settled.
A lawyer representing the family of 17-year-old Cassidy Charette who died in a 2014 hayride crash at Harvest Hills Farm says they have settled their lawsuit against the farm owner who operated the attraction. The settlement amount in the wrongful death lawsuit wasn’t disclosed.
The family says the money from the settlement will support the charity they established two years ago in honor of Cassidy. The ShineOnCass Foundation encourages young people to get involved in volunteering in their communities.
Charette lost her life and more than a dozen others were injured when the hay wagon on went out of control after a brake failure, causing the jeep towing the hayride to jack-knife and flip over. Prosecutors said the 1979 had numerous safety problems. The farm has since filed for bankruptcy and been sold at auction.

As hot temperatures and sunny weather continues so do the increase in calls to local authorities, social media misinformation, and in some case the loss of beloved pets. News Director Christian Mower looked to separate fact from fiction when it comes to how to keep canine friends safe as well as when and when not to act when you see a car in a vehicle on a hot day.
