Magic & murder star in ‘Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:22:30 GMT

Ireland’s Elaine Cassidy stars in Thursday’s contemporary take on the spiritually possessed in “Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale.”We learn that the town of Sanctuary is England’s equivalent of Salem, Massachusetts. It is a place where witches and their spells and healing powers are respected and licensed, like doctors or pharmacists.Cassidy’s Sarah Fenn becomes a suspect in a murder investigation that involves her teenage daughter Harper who has not inherited her mother’s abilities and is not a witch.As for this twist on the traditional, Cassidy notes, “To me this feels like a world that we completely know. It’s the world we live in.“The only difference is that the way you go to the chiropractor, to the herbalist, some people go to the witch. This is a world where witches have a place in society. There’s certain jobs that they’re not allowed to ever take. You can never be in government because of the fear of using your power to make change legally.  It’s a wor...

Pawlicki: Who might Trump pick as running mate?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:22:30 GMT

Choosing a vice president to run on the 2024 Republican ticket will be difficult. If selected as the Republican presidential nominee, which is likely, Donald Trump’s personal needs will dominate.Trump’s most obvious requirement for any potential pick is absolute loyalty, a requirement with no exceptions for the thin-skinned former president.What the VP candidate brings is usually the first consideration in their selection. The Kennedy clan disliked LBJ, but he could give Texas electoral votes and congressional leadership, so he was on the ticket. Nationally, little-known Indiana governor Mike Pence, chosen by Trump in 2016, was selected primarily for his strength among evangelists, an essential component of the Republican base.Those on the Republican presidential debate stage are unlikely to be in the running.“Would you support him, should Trump be the Republican nominee?” was the question asked of those on the initial debate stage. All but two, Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson and ...

Editorial: Does Boston City Council deserve pay hike?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:22:30 GMT

The freshly sworn-in members of the Boston City Council started the year off by getting a pay raise right out of the gate.Must be nice.The raise has been in the pipeline for two years, when the council voted for a heftier boost. Mayor Michelle Wu vetoed it, and the council came back with a slightly downsized pay hike.This year, councilors will get $115,000 (up from $103,500) and an additional $5,000 next year and another $5,000 in 2026.The question is: Do they deserve it?In most private-sector companies, pay raises are linked to performance reviews: turn in a stellar year, and you are rewarded. But with the state of dysfunction so robustly displayed by the council over the last year, what are they being rewarded for? And if raises are not, in large part, based on merit, they should be.One could make the argument that elections are the ultimate performance review, but with historically low turnouts for city council elections, that point is weak.Not so for members of Congress.

Dear Abby: I am a 40-plus-year-old single male. I recently started hanging out with one of my friend “Tom’s” ex-girlfriends. It is now turning into more than friends. “Pam” and I both have feelings for each other. She and Tom dated for five months and broke up eight months ago.Do I owe it to Tom to ask his permission or tell him I’m seeing her? Pam has asked me to not say anything and to let him find out on his own, which will happen because we have many mutual friends. I want to respect her choice. But also, as Tom’s friend, I feel the right thing to do is tell him. Please advise. I’m stuck between her wishes and doing what I think is right. — Stuck in the Middle in IowaDear Stuck: Have a talk with Pam. Explain that you are not sure how Tom will react if he sees the two of you arm-in-arm with no warning. He may not care, but he also could be upset that you are dating and hid it from him. Then tell Pam that, in light of your frie...
