A Brookline resident is targeting next week’s Town Meeting as the launching pad for the impeachment of President Bush. Of course, it’s nonbinding. “I can no longer stay silent with the current administration,” said Jonathan Margolis, who vows to place the resolution before fellow voters.

A German shepherd named Fero did something that he’s never done before and because he did, a 10-year-old boy is safe with his family. On Tuesday afternoon Fero went into the woods with his handler, Nashua police officer Jeff Connors, and found Ross Kolesar, who had wandered away from a party and was lost for well over an hour.Fero is not a search and rescue dog, or at least he isn’t under normal circumstances.
