On a small parcel of land near Blair Square, the long-anticipated Veterans Monument honoring those deployed in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars is taking shape. Nowhere in town are these veterans recognized and appreciated for their service. Ever since roughly 2008 the idea for such a monument has been bantered about, and the time for action has come. Steve Napolitano, Ron Turcotte and Stan Feinberg took the nub of an idea and developed it into a buildable project.

Review of Prana’s Delightful Little Women
Who can resist the story of Little Women? Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, four girls endure privations because of their family’s anti-abolitionist stance. With their father bravely off fighting, they must do without much hristmas, but their mother, Marmee, played ably by Olivia Beaudet, challenges them to give up their wonderful Christmas breakfast and bring it to the starving Hummel family who have no warm shelter or food. The four “little women,” however, soon show themselves to be less than saintly.
