We tapped into community news this week to look at the stories that have been flying under the radar. Among the issues we discussed: New Hampshire lawmaker Will Infantine says women make less money than men because they have weaker work ethics. Rhode Island officials grapple with how to address a growing addiction and overdose problem. A town-operated golf course in Truro ruffles feathers when its operating contract is handed over to a private corporation. Plus, we debate the impact Scott Brown's New Hampshire Senate run could have on Charlie Baker's gubernatorial bid here in Massachusetts.

Everyone knows the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb," but have you ever heard this version? "Mary had a little lamb, but both have long been dead / If Mary were alive today, she'd want a wheel instead." Lorenz Finison, author of Boston's Cycling Craze, 1880-1900, tells us the story of Kittie Knox, a pioneering African American cyclist and seamstress who bucked convention (and broke down barriers) with her penchant for riding a men's bicycle in pantaloons.
