Richard Hewston plays soccer with his kids Parker, 9, middle, and Jobi, 5, right, at Kilowatt Park near their Wilder, Vt., home on Monday, Nov. 11, 2024. “There’s no school today,” said Hewston because of the Veterans Day holiday. “We spent the morning in the house and we were in need of running around.” (Valley News - James M.
