Soup is a thing here at the cove and I make a pot every week, year-round. I have my favorites, but I’m always up for trying something new. This chicken soup is a lovely springtime bowlful of comfort to warm yourself after a damp day working in the garden or running errands in the rain. […]

Letter: No one serving on school boards is objective

Mr. Sarvinas doesn’t want teachers to be elected to school boards because he believes they would always vote in lockstep with positions taken by teacher unions. Mr. Sarvinas suggests that if only […]
