Tick season is alive and well in Vermont, even with snow on the ground.
At the beginning of April, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture put out a notice on its social media page that ticks had made their return around the state.

NORTH ADAMS â Ron and Rob Ferris thought they might cut hair for the rest of their lives.
The brothers, third generation barbers, worked together for decades in the family business. In the 1970 s, Ronald, Robert and their older brother George took over the shop that their grandfather had started, and they remained a constant presence in North Adams, even as hairstyles evolved and the city changed.

Business slowed to a trickle. George, their oldest brother, died in a car accident in the fall. And, just after Christmas, Ron, 78, and Rob, 66, both landed in the hospital with COVID-19.
