When I met Joyce Stone for the first official time at Soma Dis Deli on Jan. 10, it was obvious that she was not like most of the political candidates I had interviewed in past and current races. She showed up at exactly the scheduled time, wearing blue jeans and a sweatshirt and carrying zero notes (not even a date book). Contrast that to one of the last interviews I did, where the cowboy persona was so crisp and fresh out of the box that the boots and jeans would have stood up on their own,...

A new U.S. law went into effect at the end of 2019 prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21. Local stores are complying with the change notifying patrons with signs at the register and on the doors as they walk in. “When a student is 18 or 19 years old, they could still be in high school and purchase products for themselves or friends.
