John Rodgers is threatening his tiny hometown of Glover with legal action if the selectboard doesn’t concede a public dirt road to him personally. Rodgers Road, about two miles of gravel track in a bucolic corner of a largely rural state, apparently runs through his property. But it’s also been a public right-of-way for the lifetime of everyone involved. The road in question is not a critical piece of infrastructure; travelers have an easy alternative road to get from one end to the other, just a little to the north. That’s not really the point, though. Most of the road is considered “Class 3,” while a small section in the middle is “Class 4.” An...

Kiss bassist Gene Simmons is bidding farewell to his stunning Beverly Hills mansion—but he's got some very strict criteria for the kind of buyer he will allow to make a play for the $14 million property. Simmons, 75, purchased the four-bedroom dwelling in 2021 for $10.5 million so he and his wife, Shannon Tweed Simmons, could have a residence in California after relocating to Las Vegas. However, the couple struggled with the scorching heat in Nevada and ultimately decided to put their Vegas property back on the market in favor of returning to Beverly Hills and setting up permanent residence inside their ultramodern abode. But Simmons and his wife didn't stop their real estate...

Kristina Ulmer says people have the wrong idea about teenagers. For seven years now, the Pennsylvania Grade 9 English teacher has been running a "$20 Kindness Challenge" with her class, giving each student $20 US from a pool of donations, and asking them to do something kind with it. And every year, she says, the teens in her class bring her to tears with their creativity, empathy and generosity. "A lot of people stereotype that age, and they say they're self-centred or, you know, they don't see outside of themselves. And I just don't see that," Ulmer, a teacher at Hatboro-Horsham High School in Horsham, Penn., told As It Happens host Nil Köksal. "Part of the reason why I love doing...

In the wake of the catastrophic January wildfires that scorched Southern California, claiming 29 lives and $385 billion in damages, actor and director Mel Gibson is undertaking a significant reconstruction effort on his Malibu estate. The 69-year-old Oscar winner’s 5.4-acre property, originally acquired for $11.5 million in 2008, was reduced to ashes in the blazes that destroyed more than 12,000 structures across the region. The sprawling hilltop residence — once a showcase of rustic elegance with five bedrooms, five bathrooms — and sweeping Pacific Ocean views is rising anew as Gibson opts to rebuild rather than sell. That’s a choice that sets him apart from many...
