That’s the case for several hospitals in the state — including in Randolph and Newport. And at many rural hospitals across the country the chair of the Green Mountain Care Board said the discussion about closing the birthing center shouldn’t come as a surprise the most immediate thing they'll do is cut a service that's low margin — if they're in financial trouble "But that might not create the health care system we really need as a state.” the health care reform office at the Vermont Agency of Human Services shared a different view this will be a good example of a Vermont hospital making a hard decision based on what is best for their organization and their community,” the statement read “We need to resist the moral bankruptcy of cutting needed services and putting the health of Vermonters in jeopardy to shortsightedly reduce costs," the letter reads "It's a part of the health care system that does not generate revenue and you're carving out time to fight to keep doing your work The hospital has said the board will likely vote on the future of the birthing center after May and declined to provide a timeline of a potential closure The board president did not respond to a request for an interview That's left many with unanswered questions Am I still gonna be able to have my baby here?’" Bovey said right now we are here and we are taking good care of you Have questions, comments or tips? Send us a message Enter your email to sign up for The Frequency See more newsletters Have questions, comments or tips? Send us a message A goal by Collin Graf with 2:18 to play in the third period was the difference for the San Jose Barracuda (2-0) on Saturday night who defeated the Ontario Reign (0-2) by a score of 2-1 and earned a 2-0 series win to advance to the Pacific Division Semifinals The Reign’s lone goal of the series came at 6:12 of the third and tied the game up at 1-1 a strike off a one-timer by Martin Chromiak Pheonix Copley did everything he could to keep his team in the game for the second consecutive postseason contest stopping 23 shots for Ontario in a losing effort BOX SCORE after they finished in third place in the Pacific Division standings for the second straight season ending the year with 90 points and a 43-25-3-1 overall record the two clubs were scoreless in the opening frame which consisted of 13 shots for San Jose and eight attempts on goal by Ontario The Reign’s penalty kill was 2-for-2 in the first 20 minutes But the Barracuda took the lead at 7:40 of the second when Anthony Vincent scored to make it 1-0 San Jose held their advantage into the second intermission despite Ontario holding a  10-7 shot edge in the middle frame Chromiak evened the game in the early stages of the third with his one-timer off a feed by center Glenn Gawdin and gave the Reign life for the first time The second assist on the play went to Caleb Jones who started the rush by moving the puck out of his own zone Ontario was unable to get anything else by goaltender Yaroslav Askarov and Graf’s deciding strike came off a backhand shot to put San Jose in front for good at 17:42 Askarov finished with 29 saves in Game 2 and had a combined total of 46 stops in the series on 47 shots Neither team converted on the man-advantage in the contest with the Barracuda ending at 0-for-3 and Ontario going 0-for-4 By out-shooting San Jose 12-5 in the third the final shot differential favored the Reign Postgame reactions from captain Joe Hicketts Copley and head coach Marco Sturm are below – Repeated violations of the blog rules will result in site bans commensurate with the nature and number of offenses Please flag any comments that violate the site rules for moderation For immediate problems regarding problematic posts A goal by Collin Graf with 2:18 to play in the third period was the difference for the San Jose the San Jose Barracuda (1-0) defeated the Ontario Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application the daughter of Mervin and Lucille (Overmyer) Bowersox Patsy was a member of Faith Lutheran Church and an active participant in it's Bell Choir enjoyed crafting and camping with numerous camping clubs She and her husband alongside their daughter operated PB&J Crafts Patsy was a nurturing soul whose greatest joy was taking care of her husband Surviving are her sons: Dan (Beth) of Rochester OH;

However Yovanno said police didn't have what they needed to bring charges "Lack of an eyewitness and lack of direct physical evidence to link the suspect to the crime," Yovanno said the case was re-opened but stalled again with no arrests Yovanno assumed the murder would never be solved there was a dramatic shift in the cold case that police didn't see coming Yovanno said Anderson was facing a terminal illness he made a deathbed confession to his brother in March of 2023 the brother told police that Anderson admitted to shooting Lindsey instead of paying an undisclosed amount of money he owed him Yovanno said additional information the brother provided was something only the killer or police would know "The details he provided matched the evidence at the crime scene," Yovanno said Yovanno said the brother waited about a year and a half to divulge the confession because he wanted to spare his family from anguish Pruszynski never thought the killer would be publicly identified but he's grateful to finally have answers after 23 years Anderson spent some time behind bars on drug and theft offenses but mostly had his freedom but Pruszynski feels the deathbed confession helps

in the present The part adds to Coon's resume that includes a society-climbing wife of a tycoon in “The Gilded Age,” a mom to eccentric teens who want to catch ghosts in the two recent “Ghostbuster” films and the hard-boiled journalist in “Boston Strangler.” The part of Laurie offered a chance for her to reflect on her perspective of friendship during a recent teleconference “My husband (playwright Tracy Letts) has a quote in one of his plays where he says new friends are better than old friends,” she said “And I guess I parted ways with mine when I was around seven or eight because I don't have these female friendships from youth So that was actually kind of unusual for me.” Carrie Coon: Copley native, Mount Union grad nominated for Emmy Laurie arrives at the resort with her friends Kate (Leslie Bibb) and Jaclyn (Michell Monaghan) and soon discovers that things cannot remain static in life they’ve walked divergent paths over the years “We were joking that if these women had walked into the villa and said this is what's going on with me right now’ and started off in this honest and authentic way then it would've been a very different vacation,” she said and I think I'm afraid everyone can relate to pretending to be living an extraordinary life whereas everyone's actually feeling left out.” That’s exactly what creator-director Mike White was looking for “I just remember that there have been times where I've been on vacations,” White said ‘I can't really get a vibe of what's going on?’ And then one would leave and then the other two would start talking More:

he's doing So when there is something really pivotal in the script he has a very particular idea about what it is that he needs,” Coon said I think the work is very satisfying because he wouldn't have let you go home unless he and his editors had the thing they needed to make the scenes work.” White also allowed Coon to be physical in her role “One of the great pleasures as an actress is whenever I get asked to do anything physical,” she said “because so often a woman is just standing in a room glowing at a hapless partner who she should have left “We all like to be invited to do that stuff We do not like to be just dressed up in a pencil skirt and heels and told to walk down the hall So anytime we get to let loose in that way my energy is so much more like a 12-year-old boy than it is as a 44-year-old woman.” Thomas dabbles in television in movies for the Beacon Journal The Boughton Farm, operated by family since the 19th century in Copley Township, will become the next Summit County Metro Park, the parks system announced Tuesday About 87 acres of the farm that was a fixture of the township will become the district's 17th metro park The land is being donated to the park district from the Western Reserve Land Conservancy which bought most of the farm late last year vice president of Western Field Operations for the conservancy said in a phone interview Wednesday that the acquisition had been in the works since 2022 He said the transfer to the park district will be completed in the next couple of weeks 'This is a great project'During negotiations with the Boughton family Summit Metro Parks executive director Lisa King and other park employees took a tour of the property "It didn't take long for Lisa and others on staff to say 'This is great project and we would like to be involved,'" McDowell said one of 10 family members who decided to sell the land said Tuesday that buildings on the farm used to clean pack and store vegetables weren't part of the sale The buildings are located at the end of Boughton Drive News accounts of the farm and Boughton family reach back to 1892 with an article about farm owner Truman Boughton traveling to Chicago to get married Boughton will be 79 years of age next August but when he returns he will bring with him a blushing bride," the Akron Beacon and Republican wrote in its March 16 Truman Broughton was in the news again after dying from injuries sustained when he and his wife were thrown by runaway horses Charlie Boughton said a field was opened in the 1930s that provided some of the best growing area on the property they decided they wanted to farm some of this (area)," he said The felled trees were given away as firewood so people impoverished in the Great Depression could have something to heat their homes the farm concentrated on developing its potato crop The buildings retained by the family were used to clean "(Then they) got into pick-your-own vegetables," he said "The first crop that went in real (big) was green beans." a vast variety of vegetables were grown on the farm He and other children in the family worked on the farm and his uncle Edward ran the farm for decades before Richard Boughton article in the Akron Beacon Journal said about 50 acres of the farm at the time were given to potatoes Charlie Boughton said he helped cut and harvest the celery crop while he was still in school."That's what put me through college," he said Richard Boughton announced in March 2021 that 2020 had been the last year for the farm "After 75 years, the farmer has retired and the farm will remain closed," the family posted on the farm's Facebook page King said Wednesday that plans for the property will be developed in coming months and years "Having a park in Copley is a wonderful milestone for us," she said "I hate that it's taken literally over 100 years to have a metro park in Copley." King said the park will pay tribute to its rich farming history with interpretive panels and employees who can speak about its past with visitors "One of our favorite things to do is tell the stories of our properties," she said McDowell said the purchase of the Boughton Farm was unusual because of the family's unified consensus "To work with a family that had 10 ownership interests involved (and) to have all of them agree to sell this for conservation purposes is extremely unusual," he said The park will nearly double the amount of parkland acres in Copley Township Although a master plan hasn't been developed yet public parking and a hiking trail will be part of the new park "(We'll be) sitting down later this summer to start a master planning process," she said Girl Scouts will plant about 1,200 trees on the property said he and other family members were pleased with the sale to the conservancy we could be looking in someone else's back yard," he said Leave a message for Alan Ashworth at 330-996-3859 or email him at aashworth@gannett.com Follow him on Twitter at @newsalanbeaconj or Facebook at www.facebook.com/alan.newsman William “Billy Joe” Joseph Copley Jones County Chapel.  Visitation will be held on Friday evening at the Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Milledgeville to the late Cecil Lloyd and Sarah Arbutus Copley.  He was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force beginning his service when he was seventeen years old Bill received his GED while in the Air Force and Antigua; and then he became stationed at Robins Air Force Base.  He met Betty while at Robins they moved to California and lived there for fifty years He also was in the Air Force Reserves until 1987 and Washington State.  He was employed and retired from the United States Postal Service in 1992 He continued working with the USPS as a contractor and was a Route Inspector from 1994 to 1996   Bill loved taking pictures of trains especially Florida State University.  He also loved traveling he was not able to travel as he had wished He was a hard worker and always put his family first.   Bill will be missed dearly by his family and friends Bill is survived by his wife of sixty-five years Lucas James Beeman and Spencer Anne Beeman; his sister-in-law Cecil Lloyd Copley and Sarah Booth Ray; his brother-in-law Please visit www.hartsmort.com to express your condolences Image: Julie A.
