Also on the new paper's home page right now is an announcement that James Norton will be writing a weekly column.

James Norton used to edit the Somerville News, and was a one-term member of the Somerville school committee before being defeated for re-election. He is the son of Don Norton, who owns Norton Realty in Ball Square, which the Somerville Times still uses as its business address. James Norton and I have had some ... memorable dust-ups both here on DSLJ and on the comment section of the News. I get the impression that there has been some big-time family breakup.
