Pancake party at SVAS
Sep 17, 2025
Chris Ohmen worked the griddle Saturday, Sept. 13.

LAKEVILLE — Chris Ohmen flipped large blueberry-studded pancakes with the nonchalance that bespeaks years of practice during the Salisbury Volunteer Ambulance Service’s pancake breakfast at the Grove Saturday, Sept. 13.
Inside the tables were filled with a cross-section of Salisbury, ranging in age from toddlers to “it’s better not to ask.”
Stacey Dodge, Grove manager and SVAS member, was happy. “All my cooks, all my servers came back,” she said, gesturing to the line of people dressed in SVAS shirts ready to heap pancakes and sausages on the plates.

KENT — After a minor but notable revision, the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Selectmen sent the long-deliberated “Regulation of Cannabis Ordinance” to public hearing and a town vote.
The ordinance, if voted through by the town, would ban the sale of recreational cannabis in town but allow medicinal dispensaries on the basis of approval by P&Z. It was informed by the results of a survey distributed to the townspeople late last year.
Also to be deliberated at the Sept. 18 hearing date are three other ordinance proposals: one to regulate commercial bus travel on town-owned roads that feed into South Kent Road, another to restrict leaving material in public roadways, and a final one regulating the purchasing of services, equipment and goods for town business.
Full drafts of each ordinance are available on the town’s website.
