Feel Good Story of the Week – Former Teacher Gifted $27,000 by One-time Student
A 77-year-old former substitute teacher who was living in his car was gifted with a $27,000 check by a one-time student. Jose Villarruel, lovingly known as “Mr. V” by his students, was a substitute teacher for decades, but in 2020 he resigned after schools changed over to distance learning due to the pandemic. He made all the arrangements for his pension, but the money didn’t last long, and Villarruel has been living out of his car ever since. His former student, Steven Nava, came across Villarruel in his car and recognized him. Nava initially gave Villarruel $300, and then decided to start a GoFundMe page to help him get back on his feet. He shared it all over social media, including on TikTok, where it went viral with over 1.7 million views. Villarruel was presented with a $27,000 check from the money raised, along with other gifts.

NH DNCR Opens FY2021 ‘Moose Plate’ Cultural Conservation Grant Round
The N.H. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources is now accepting letters of intent for projects seeking funding from its Conservation License Plate fiscal year 2021 grant round.
DNCR “Moose Plate” grants support the restoration, preservation and / or conservation of publicly owned items significant to New Hampshire’s cultural heritage.
Three of the DNCR’s divisions – the Division of Historical Resources, the State Council on the Arts and the State Library – support cultural conservation grant programs through Moose Plate funding. Each division’s grant program has specific requirements.
Organizations seeking Moose Plate grant funding are required to submit a letter of intent, providing a brief description of the project and confirming that the resource is publicly owned, by May 7th. Applicants will be notified if their project fits a DNCR division’s program criteria. They may then choose to submit a full application by June 25th.
More information about each division’s specific grant program requirements is available at dncr.nh.gov/moose_plate. Applicants may only apply to one DNCR grant program in a given year.
Each year, the DNCR receives a percentage of funds raised from the sales of Moose Plates. To help preserve the state’s cultural heritage, the department designates a portion of those funds for the conservation of cultural resources in New Hampshire.
Funds received by the DNCR also support its Division of Forests and Lands’ Natural Heritage Bureau and its Division of Parks and Recreation’s Historic Sites Bureau.
In fiscal year 2019, 30 projects received a total of $269,218 in DNCR cultural conservation grant funding.
For more information about the Moose Plate Program, including how to purchase a Moose Plate, visit mooseplate.com.
The N.H. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources’ five divisions are dedicated to protecting, promoting and managing a wide variety of New Hampshire’s natural, recreational and cultural resources.
Together, these resources help define our state and are major drivers of our economy and high quality of life. For more information, visit dncr.nh.gov.
The 2021 Grammys – Recap – 03/15/2021
Beyonce made history last night as she racked up her 28th win and became the most awarded female artist ever in the history of the Grammy Awards. Mid-way through the night she tied for the record as she shared a win with Meghan Thee Stallion for Best Rap Song, for “Savage,” but the big moment came about 15 minutes later, when her song “Black Parade” was announced as the Best R&B Performance. Looking surprised as she approached the stage, Beyonce said, “I’m so honored.” Overall, Beyonce has acquired 79 career nominations.
As the first performing act on stage, Harry Styles sang “Watermelon Sugar” for his first ever Grammy performance. He later won Best Pop Solo Performance for that song. He wore black leather pants and an open leather jacket, with no shirt, showing off a few tattoos.

Feel Good Story of the Week – Shelter Puppy No-one Wanted Saves Life of Elderly Man
EUGENE, OR – A stray puppy who languished unwanted in a shelter saved the life of an elderly man who finally gave it a chance. The 18-month-old dog, named Jack, woke up 66-year-old owner Tom Braun after noticing he’d begun choking in his sleep at his Eugene, Oregon, home earlier this month. Braun was stunned to wake up and find his T-shirt covered with his own blood, and realized a blood vessel had burst following previous dental work. Braun spent the next 48 hours in hospital, while next door neighbor Eli Holmes cared for Jack. Braun has sung Jack’s praises, and advised anyone who is older and lives alone to get their own dog to help keep them safe.
