A new federal program will provide low-income residents with a monthly subsidy to help pay for internet service. The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program will provide a monthly subsidy of up to $50 to eligible residents to pay for internet services, and up to $75 for households on Native American territories. “In today’s society and especially in the wake of the pandemic, it’s clear that internet access is no longer a luxury any longer,” said Congressman Joe Morelle, who supported the program which was passed by lawmakers in December as part of a COVID-19 relief package. “It’s a necessity required to participate in the activities of daily living.”
NH-VT Covered Bridge Half Marathon set for June 19
May 12, 2021COLEBROOK The Kiwanis Club of Colebrook is pleased to announce that the seventh annual NH-VT Covered Bridge Half Marathon will take place on Saturday, June 19. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, last year s race was cancelled. Since the race route includes miles in both states, the Race Committee has worked to make sure it will meet each state s different COVID restrictions still in place to ensure the health and safety of the runners, volunteers, and spectators.
As a result, the race will look different this year. Start times will utilize a self-reported time-trial format with staggered starts times. Masks and social distancing will be required when not running. To minimize person to person contact, the race will not be able to provide the Fun Walk or Relay Team events, finisher medals, or the traditional Finish Line festivities such as the awards ceremony, live bluegrass music, food booth and complimentary massages.
