Town Clerk Connor Degan, who oversees the election process, offered some tips for those considering running for a spot on a town board or committee. The Annual Town Election is May 15, but candidates must start preparing much earlier.

This week’s Police Log includes one arrest along with reports of an injured hawk, cars stuck on icy roads, and a house break-in on Freedom Way.
