LEBANON JUNCTION – Basketballers in Lebanon Junction are hooping it up. But it took some discussion from the Lebanon Junction City Council to make it happen. Mayor Larry Dangerfield had the basketball goals on city property taken down last year when the COVID-19 outbreak hit. As the numbers involving the cases reported both locally and around the state began to decrease, the number of activities started to slowly return.

LYNCHBURG, Va. – Like so many others, Alexandria Johnson is struggling during the pandemic.
“My situation has been rough, and I’m not ashamed to say that it’s been rough because there’s nothing that I’ve done to make it rough. It’s something that the world has going on,” said Johnson.
The 30-year-old mother of three is now looking for a better opportunity thanks to a job fair in Lynchburg.
“It’s making me feel good because a lot of these places here, they’re not opening the doors for us, they’re not letting us come in, they’re not letting us work,” said Johnson.
During a meeting that included references to the Bible and the U.S. Constitution, three members of the Shasta County Board of Supervisors were told Tuesday that notices of intent were to be filed to recall them from office.
Supervisors Joe Chimenti, Leonard Moty and Mary Rickert were read the notices of recall at the meeting, which drew some 200 people, mostly recall supporters.
Elissa McEuen, one of Tuesday s speakers, cited what she said were numerous reasons for recalling the three supervisors. The trio were called out for failing to stand up to the governor and withdraw from the state tier system of regulations enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Workforce Insiders Share Why Growth-Focused Companies Should Leverage a Remote Work Model
While businesses hustled to keep the lights on during the pandemic, something big happened to the workforce. It was a change so significant that it altered how businesses must approach work if they want to remain competitive.
Yet the change happened so silently that nearly everyone missed it.
We, at Upwork, didn’t.
Here’s what happened: control over work shifted from the employer to the worker. The widespread adoption of remote work catalyzed this shift. And you better believe they’re not letting it go after offices reopen.
