Here are the top stories today in Bedford:

1. Empty vodka shelves in New Hampshire State Liquor Stores to show support for Ukraine, following Gov. Christopher Sununu's executive order to remove all Russian vodka from state liquor store shelves. Vodka brands including Stolichnaya, Kutskova, Russian Standard and Hammer and Sickle were pulled from shelves, said liquor commission spokesman E.J. Powers. But New Hampshire state liquor stores are not planning to dispose of the vodkas, or return the inventory, but will store them, he said. New Hampshire will have plenty of vodka choices, Powers added, including European vodka and American brands, and even vodkas made in New Hampshire.
