A FLOCK of six stainless-steel birds with engravings “celebrating local heritage” have been erected in Poole. Situated on West Quay Road at Barber Piles, the West Quay Wings art installation is the first of two landmark gateway sculptures planned for the Townside area. During the day the birds in flight sculpture will reflect both colour and light. Each bird is engraved with images representing different aspects of Poole’s history from boat building to maritime trade, chemistry, foundries, potteries and the lava lamp - the inventor of which was based in Poole. Designed by the artist Michael Condron, the sculptures form part of BCP Council’s Townside and Hunger Hill infrastructure improvement scheme.

Tom Gilbert Eggs from Black Dirt Farm often come with unexpected side dishes: printed notes nestled between the ungraded brown eggs and the cardboard carton. In the fall, those messages showcased the Merriam-Webster definitions of democracy and white supremacy to show that the two are mutually exclusive. This winter, pink inserts cite the figure that one in three Vermont women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, along with contact information for shelters. If the fridge and breakfast table seem like unconventional places for sparking discussions of human rights, Black Dirt Farm owner Tom Gilbert is not worried. We are intentionally provoking a conversation, and we re open to feedback, he said during a recent tour of his Stannard farm.
Although Portland took the brunt of a Valentineâs Day weekend snow and ice storm that rolled into Oregon through the Columbia River Gorge, Linn and Benton counties did not escape unscathed.
Tree limbs grew heavy with thick ice starting about suppertime Friday, and by Saturday morning, trunks and branches littered roads and yards and pummeled fences to the ground.
Sandy Kroker has lived on Loma Drive near Scio for 43 years and doesnât remember an ice storm as bad.
In Saturdayâs predawn hours, Kroker said, she heard âall kinds of popping and bumping sounds.â
When darkness turned to daylight, Kroker said, she found that numerous branches of a willow tree next to her home had snapped and the limbs were covering her car.

Tens of thousands of Vermont residents have experienced a loss of income during the coronavirus pandemic. Since last March, roughly one in three of us has struggled to buy groceries. That’s a shocking statistic. Here’s another one: Just one in 10 Vermont residents is enrolled in the program that addresses this need most effectively 3SquaresVT, our state’s version of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Like many federal programs that you pay into with your tax dollars think Social Security, Medicare and unemployment insurance 3SquaresVT exists to offer a helping hand during tough times.
