STILL SEARCHING â Daya Riffle Pethtel leafs through a stack of news clippings her mother kept after her sister, Vicki Riffle Dylewski, was murdered 40 years ago in Fernwood State Forest.

“Since classes have ended, I have a lot more time on my hands, which I pretty much just spend smoking weed and watching Gilmore Girls. Lorelai is such a firecracker,” he continued, eyes glazed over and elbow deep in the bucket of flavor coated kernels. “And they’re always eating such tasty looking snacks, I’m glad I can finally join in on the fun.”

CLINTON – T&G Santa is heading to town with truckloads of Christmas gifts for thousands of Central Massachusetts girls and boys in need.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to wreak financial havoc on struggling families, more and more are forced to seek sustenance from nonprofit agencies and support services.
With this comes a greater need to provide a little Christmas magic to children in difficult circumstances and for this, the newspaper’s 82-year T&G Santa tradition continues.
Helping Santa meet this year’s goal of providing toys and books to 7,000 local children are the many Central Mass. businesses, foundations, organizations and readers, who donate to the annual fund.
