Following one of the most disruptive years in recent history, 2021 was supposed to be a return to normal.
Instead, it was a slightly less tumultuous year filled with new challenges and uncertainty - dominated not only by COVID-19 and its variants but also by the ongoing debate about vaccines. However, the pandemic and vaccination/testing mandates weren't the only topics in readers' minds.
Here's a list of the top Ward and Smith articles of 2021 in no particular order. Not surprisingly, several articles are directly or indirectly related to the pandemic.
