Dont miss the big stories. Like us on Facebook.   BELLOWS FALLS — Rockingham residents will have plenty of choice for the three open seats on the Rockingham Select Board at Town Meeting in March. With Select Board members Gaetano Putignano and Ben Masure not seeking re-election, more than a half dozen people have filed for a seat, with most of the candidates filing for both the open three-year seat and one of the two, one-year seats. Such a strategy is legal, Vermont election officials ...

The hand wringing over the replacement process is so overblown. It’s not clear to me how a special election with little turnout is preferable. Plus people pretend Committeemen aren’t also elected themselves (in elections that might very well have higher turnout than specials).

SHARE One of the few benefits of living through a pandemic is that we suddenly had a lot more time to read books – and though some publishing dates were delayed, in the end it was a treat to be able to lose ourselves in historical epics from Hilary Mantel and Maggie O’Farrell while rooting for Dubai author Avni Doshi at the Booker Prize. Pure page-turning, best-selling escapism came from the likes of former Dubai resident Stuart Turton, and the best non-fiction reflection of the year we’...

Black-owned camp aims to make hunting more diverse By JASON NARK, The Philadelphia InquirerDecember 26, 2020 GMT PHILADELPHIA (AP) — If Warren Gamaliel Harding Brown could see the hunting camp his grandson has crafted in the Poconos, he’d admire the large, stone fireplace, the taxidermied deer head, and the turkey feathers on display beside some spent shotgun shells. The flatscreen television mounted on the wall might have surprised the late patriarch, but the spirit of the place would hav...

John Sommers II/Getty Images At this point, its a cliché to say that 2020 has been a year like no other. Its lasting effects on the labor market — and the people who have been left behind — will have repercussions for years to come. Economists say the recovery is worryingly weak amid spiking virus cases, while unemployed workers nationwide are facing eviction and hunger. Congressional leaders passed a $900 billion stimulus package earlier this month, with Pres...
