Robber hits local pharmacy

Author launches new Vt. mystery series

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@ denpubs.com LUDLOW Ñ Based on some anecdotal comments we heard from a handful of area bookstore owners, Vermont readers love mystery fi ction; the genre remains a strong sales indicator for independent booksellers. For example, award-winning Vermont author Archer MayorÑ whose popular Joe Gunther mystery series are a statewide favorite among readers who like their fi ction set in familiar places—has been a consist bestseller here.

Now, Springfi eldbased author Stephen Seitz–no stranger to the mystery genre—is getting into the Vermontplaced mystery act, too.

Seitz penned the popular 2012 novel Ò Sherlock Holmes and the Plague of Dracula”, which matches Holmes’ wit against the infamous vampire’s, has branched out into new territory with his latest novel, Ò Secrets CanÕ t Be Kept ForeverÓ .

For journalists toiling away in small towns covering church suppers and Little League games, Seitz’s new mystery series’ main character, Ace Herron—a crime reporter for a Vermont weekly newspaper—is a Jimmy Breslin wanna be’s daydream come true.

Hunt, shoot , fish—these women can take care of themselves

By Elicia Mailhiot

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — In 1942, Rosie the Riveter was introduced to the American public and immediately became a symbol for women who had taken over male delegated jobs during World War II. One government advertisement phrased the question: “Can you use an electric mixer? If so, you can learn to operate a drill.”

In 1995, Eric Nuse of the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department noticed during the first “Becoming an Outdoors Woman” (BOW) weekend that there was a need for women that was much more than the clinics could offer.

“BOW seemed to be a good first step in breaking down the barriers, but for many women, it wasn’t enough. For them there was still a gap between BOW and actually going out and hunting, shooting, fishing or fully enjoying nature,” said Nuse.

A year later, Vermont Outdoor Women was born. The goal was to break down the barrier described by Nuse.

The next few years were successful, but the organization realized in order to maintain that level of success, help was needed.

VOGA, the Vermont Outdoor Guide Association, stepped in and reorganized the organization into a division of the association and renamed it Vermont Outdoors Woman, or VOW, which now operates out of North Ferrisburg.

Since then, VOW has made it a goal to provide access to a broad range of outdoor resources, as well as “build participant self-confidence” and “connect women with similar interests,” ac-

cording the organizations website.

VOW hosts many events throughout the year, including a fittingly titled “Doe Camp.” These weekend retreats occur semiannually, with the next one scheduled for Sept. 27-29 in Canaan.

Over 35 classes will be available, including fly fishing, mountain biking, firearms, kayaking, and birding. New classes this year include turkey hunting and calling, panning for gold, stand up paddle boarding, and a nine hour handgun personal defense course, according to Gray Stevens, executive direc-

tor of VOGA. For $349, each woman signs up for four workshops. Discounts are available for mothers and daughters, military families, and girlfriend groups of three or more.

Most that attend Doe Camp consider it a life changing experience—just ask Benson resident Martha Dukeshire Savageau, who attended in 2008.

According to Savageau, learning to build a fire was high on her bucket list. It was at camp she learned to do just that with the help of her instructor Sarah.

“Sarah and VOW helped me reach a life-long personal goal,” she writes in a letter shared on the organization’s website.

Savageau was also able to share her experience with her husband, Ron and his eighth grade class when she was able to teach them everything she learned, from types of wood to measurement of tools for the fire kit.

“You have given me a gift to share with others. I am forever humbled by your impact on my life and eternally grateful,” she said.

Nearly a decade ago, Eric Nuse realized there was a deficit in outdoor programs for women. The women at BOW weekend knew how to use an electric mixer; they just needed the tools to learn to operate the drill themselves. Vermont Outdoors Woman has succeeded in doing just that.

‘Shoreham’ is new addition to American history series

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com SHOREHAM Ñ One of the most treasured series of photo books in the USA are the popular Images of America trade-paperbacks released

by South Carolina-based Arcadia Publishing.

A clever idea, this book series showcases vintage photos from around America; in many instances, the books provide interested residents of cities and towns with a rich, visual record of what came before.

Many Vermont communities are already a part of the Images of America series—mostly recently Middlebury and Bristol.

The latest to be added to the series is Shoreham, Vt., an agricultural town which was carved out of the wilderness along Lake Champlain by settlers beginning in 1761.

Assigned the task of assembling “Shoreham” for Arcadia was local teacher Susan Holt MacIntire, also Shoreham’s town historian.

MacIntire has written two other books about Shoreham history; she is clearly the ideal chronicler for this new book.

MacIntire brings her wealth of knowledge of the subject along with access to over 200 vintage images culled from the Shoreham Historical Society, area libraries and museums, and never-before-seen contributions from local residents. All of this makes the book a superb addition to the publisher’s growing library of Vermont visual history.

As you’ll learn in the book, Shoreham is 36-square miles in size and boasts some of the

most fertile farm land in the Champlain Valley. Through the photos and detailed captions in MacIntire’s book, you’ll discover that there’s more to Shoreham than just applesÑ even though there are still lots of orchard-related images in the book to satisfy the most demanding of cider makers.

According to MacIntire, Shoreham morphed from being Vermont’s largest sheep producer— during the early 1800s—to primarily apple orchards and dairy farms by the early 1900s, although—sadly—agriculture has been in slow decline in the area, and elsewhere, in recent decades.

In its day, Shoreham had woolen mills, a hydro-powered ironworks, limestone quarries, even a few unusual enterprises you’ll learn about in the book.

MacIntire sets out the story of Shoreham by including its sole U.S. congressman, its two state governors, and its one U.S. vice president.

Since we don’t like plot spoilers, you’ll have to pick up a copy of “Shoreham” to find out the identities of these four notable gentlemen (you’ll be surprised when you find out).

Also included in MacIntire’s book is a rich collection of pictures of everyday life and work in Shoreham Village, Larrabee’s Point, Richville, East Shoreham, farmsteads and orchards, and schools. The town’s notable residents are also featured.

“Shoreham” debuts Aug. 12 and will be available in bookstores, through independent retailers, and online at www.arcadiapublishing.com.

Vintage Shoreham: Shoreham resident Byron Sunderland was an American Presbyterian minister; he served as chaplain of the U.S. Senate during the Civil War. Shoreham’s famous residents are featured in the new book , “Shoreham”, part of the Images of America series.

STARKSBORO — Marijke Niles of South Starksboro has designed a series of succulent garden displays which combine nature, recycling, and art.

It is worth a trip to see what you can do with recycled items, succulent plants, and a little creativity. You can join a tour and learn how to create your own recycled garden art.

Pieces on view include a shoe store, kitchen, touring bike, chick quilt, and the “willy-nilly” wishing wall. Also on display are many colorful container creations.

Niles moved to Vermont 12 years ago and transformed her eight-acre property, located at 1,500-feet above sea level, into a wild life haven. Called Marijke’s Perennial Gardens Plus, the place is where wild things see to grow in harmony with cultivated things.

Niles’ gardens are wildlife habitat certified and have also been designated as a bird- friendly habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.

Four lanes and no place to go

R

ecently, I embarked on a trans-Vermont auto trek along U.S. Route 4Ñ traveling west to east—to get a better sense of this historic highway that was recently designated as “The Crossroad of Vermont Byway.” Sounds quaint, doesn’t it? But a drive along this road becomes more frustrating for the motorist as you move west to east—from four lanes to two through various pockets of congestion, such as Rutland and Woodstock.

Venerable U.S. Route 4 starts in East Greenbush, N.Y., and runs 253 miles to its end at Portsmouth, N.H. Along the way it crosses Vermont, but there’s only 66 miles of the route here although it traverses some of the northeast’s most beautiful landscapes.

Entering Fair Haven, Vt., via Hampton, N.Y., Route 4 welcomes the driver with four lanes of a superbly paved modern highway (with the section from Interstate 87’s Northway to the Vermont state line being not much to brag about).

By the time a motorist reaches the end of the 65-mph zoned, four-lane segment of Route 4— terminating at the entrance to Rutland’s Diamond Run Mall—he is thrust onto congested U.S. Route 7.

For a few miles along Route 7 (shared with Route 4) through Rutland’s busy commercial corridor, the driver must wend his way north to reconnect, again, with Route 4 (Woodstock Avenue); then move on to Killington, Woodstock, and—one hopes—an effortless connection to Interstate 89 on the state’s eastern side.

Today’s Route 4 has prehistoric origins; it began as a footpath for Paleo-Indians.

As an Indian path, the route crossed both the Taconic and Green mountains. Along the way, Native Americans traded, hunted, and fi shed and, in some places, set up seasonal camps and several transient villages.

Apparently, American colonists weren’t too familiar with the lay of the land along the future Route 4 corridor until the 18th century. In fact, one of the earliest records of whites along Route 4 dates to as late as 1748.

It’s likely that this rugged wilderness region prevented much Anglo adventuring (although French Army scouts and trappers probably knew the terrain and only a tiny segment of the Crown Point Military Road crossed today’s Route 4 in the West Rutland area).

In 1748, Massachusetts-born Royal military explorer, Capt. Phineas Stevens (1706-1756), and a fellow offi cer named Capt. Hobbes, scaled the Green Mountains above Rutland and

August 3, 2013

then traveled, on foot, all the way to the New Hampshire border.

The trailblazing Stevens-Hobbes expedition lasted nearly a week and it demonstrated that an overland route to the Connecticut River was possible. Interestingly, Capt. Stevens was best known as being one of the builders of Fort No. 4, located across the Connecticut River from Vermont. This fort was featured in the bestselling novel, “Northwest Passage” about Robert’s Rangers.

Just one year prior to Stevens and Hobbes’ mountain trek east of Rutland, Stevens had become a local hero by gallantly defending Fort No. 4 against a brutal attack by French soldiers and their Indian allies.

After the Stevens and Hobbes expedition, there wasn’t much white activity along Route 4 for nearly two decades.

Then, in 1770, settler James Mead built a cabin—in Center Rutland—at Mead’s Falls on Otter Creek. A log fort was later built (and later dismantled), and by the early 1800s, sections of future Route 4 were already operating as welltraveled turnpikes and free ways for horseback and stagecoach travelers.

Since that time, Route 4 has held a lot of promise, but in many ways—at least by our 21st-century automotive standards—it is woefully inadequate.

For while Route 4 serves its purpose as an east-west corridor through Vermont, there’s a lot to be desired for modern travelers between the two interstate highways, east and west of it in (I-89 in Vermont and I-87 in New York) Regarding that four-lane section of Route 4, located between Fair Haven and Rutland, it is said that plans in the 1960s would have connected Vermont to Interstate 87 via a four-lane New York segment of Route 4. (At highway speeds, you can barely glimpse the unfi nished, abandoned connector cut near the Vermont Welcome Center in Fair Haven; it’s now fi lled with growing trees and thick underbrush).

Alas, for whatever political or fi nancial reasons given by either Vermont or New York over the years, the grand idea of a superhighway from Whitehall, N.Y. to Rutland fell fl at on its face (here in Vermont, old timers who remember the ‘60s plan still blame politicians in Albany for its failure).

Thus, today’s Fair Haven-to-Rutland freeway is essentially a highway to nowhere. Well, “nowhere” that is, if you consider what might have been.

Classic motorboat owners visit Vergennes

By W. Beall

newmarketpress@denpubs.com VERGENNES Ñ Members of the Richardson Boat Owners Association visited Vergennes last weekend selecting the Little City as the site of their 2013 summer rendezvous.

Several of the classic U.S. made motorboats boats in the harbor below the falls July 26-27.

Several members stayed at the Strong House and joined other members on a visit to the Vermont Maritime Museum. Association members were clearly visible in town proudly displaying their RBOA shirts. On Saturday the members will be at the dock judging the two boats that attend.

One of the boats taking part in the reunion was local and docked at Marble Island Marina in Mallets Bay. The 1932, 30-foot-long cruiser has been owned by Edward R Winant for 27 years.

Another boat visiting the basin was the 1942, 31-foot-long Louise II owned by Don Richardson from Jamestown, Long Island, N.Y. Their journey to the meeting was arduous as the visitors had to transverse Narragansett Bay and Long Island Sound, about a five day run.

All Richardson boats in Vergennes were built in North Tonawanda, N.Y., by George Reid Richardson from 1909 until 1962.

In the late 1950s, Richardson joined with Avro Aircraft in Canada and developed an aluminumplanked hull which was released in 1960.

The Richardson Boat Owners Association was organized in 1973 to promote the preservation of Richardson Boats. It is one of the oldest marquee boating organization’s in the country. Members get together at various locations three times a year usually on the east coast to share their boating adventures. The group publishes a newsletter four times a year.

Members of the Richardson Boat Owners Association picked Vergennes as the site of their 2013 summer rendezvous. The classic motorboat owners were moored in the Vergennes Basin below the falls July 26-27. Richardson boats were built in North Tonawanda, N.Y., by George Reid Richardson between 1909 and 1962.

Letters

Beeman Elementary School

To the editor: I was sent a note by a friend which indicated that the Beeman Elementary School in New Haven would be looking for a new principal. I was very sad to learn that Steve Flint would not be in the school for the children in September.

I worked as a consultant in the school last year and the atmosphere there was the best in any place I have been for a long time.

I do believe that Beeman is one of the happiest places for children in all of Vermont. Yes, it can grow in academics; with the atmosphere the Mr. Flint created, it will. It is just sad that he will not continue to be a part of it.

I have no idea what Mr. Flint’s plans are, but whatever they are I whish him the very best.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — The Environment America Research & Policy Center, in partnership locally with the Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG), released “Lighting the Way: What We Can Learn from America’s Top 12 Solar States”, a new report highlighting a solar energy boom across the country.

The report ranks Vermont ninth in the nation for per capita solar installations. This makes Vermont one of a dozen states that have led the nation in solar energy with supportive policies and a commitment to continued expansion.

Solar is on the rise across the country, according to the U.S. Solar Market Insight 2012 Year-in-Review report by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and GTM Research; America has more than three times as much solar capacity as it did in 2010, and more than 10 times as much as it did in 2007.

SEIA also found that the price to install a solar system fell by 26 percent in 2012.

The report emphasizes that it is not availability of sunlight that makes states solar leaders, but the degree to which state and local governments have created effective public policy for the development of the solar industry.

Other states profiled in the report include Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland, Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina and Massachusetts.

While these 12 states account for only 28 percent of the U.S. population, they make up 85 percent of the nation’s installed solar energy.

But not everything is rosy in the U.S. solar industry— American-made materials still lag behind foreign makers. In fact, most P.V. solar panels here are now made in China.

According to a recent MIT Energy Initiative report, “In the past decade, the massive expansion of China’s production and export of silicon photovoltaic cells and panels has cratered the price of those items globally, creating tension between China and the United States, and, more recently, China and the European Union... Over the last decade, manufacturing of P.V. cells and panels expanded in China, boosting supply globally. The flood of solar panels, combined with a slipping subsidized demand for solar energy (especially in Europe), lowered the global market price to unsustainable levels.”

And according to various news reports, taxpayers remain keenly aware of the failures of the likes of heavily government subsidized firms such as Solyndra. Despite the Solyndra failure, the Department of Energy is going ahead with a $1.2-billion loan guarantee to California-based Mojave Solar for the development of the giant Mojave Solar Power Station Also, in several states, much of the investment in a homemounted solar-power system may be lost if the homeowner moves and the buyer puts less value on the system than the seller.

The report ranks Vermont ninth in the nation for per capita solar installations. This makes Vermont one of a dozen states that have led the nation in solar energy with supportive policies and a commitment to continued expansion.

MIDDLEBURY — Members of the Middlebury River Task Force met last week to discuss the cost/benefit analyses for a number of potential Middlebury River flood mitigation projects recommended by engineering firm Milone and MacBroom.

Based on that review, Project Manager Amy Sheldon presented a prioritized list of projects that the task force recommended be included in an application for FEMA grant funding. The Select Board approved the recommendations with the understanding that some technical questions regarding the projects remain to be addressed and that the task force will need to reach out to affected property owners to share the committee’s findings.

A SPECIAL SWIM

Brother, sister duo follow in dad’s footsteps

By Claire Durham

denpubs@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — On a warm Tuesday, July 9, a brother-and sister duo swam the 8-mile stretch between Willsboro Point, New York and Shelburne Point, Vermont.

Matthew Weiskotten, 26, and Shauna Weiskotten, 24, were recreating a special swim, while their mother, father, and sister followed them in a motorboat. Ò About 22 years ago, my dad swam across the lake and so for a long time, I wanted to see if I could do it,” Matt said.

“I remember him [my dad] setting out and just looking across the lake and thinking ‘there’s no way somebody could do that, it just seems impossible,’” Shauna said, “and I guess when I got to about [age] 12 or something it occurred to me that ‘hey maybe I could do that too.Õ Ó Their father, Ron Weiskotten, swam across the lake on July 23, 1991.

“I remember the stretch between the Four Brother [Islands] and Juniper seemed like a long stretch, and then one of the things I did was I went around the north end of Juniper and Matt and Shauna went around the south end,” Ron said.

After coming around the islands, Ron ended up more in the boating lanes so his wife, Jeanne, who was his guide in the motorboat, stayed close to him to let other boats know where he was. At one point he had to swim out of the way of the Ethan Allen.

“It wasn’t a close call, but you know when you see it coming at you it’s interesting,” Ron said.

After making it to Shelburne, Ron remembers how good it felt just to walk up on shore and to know he made his goal. But he didn’t fathom that his children, who were 5 and 3 at the time, would follow suit.

“I never dreamed someday they’d [Matt and Shauna] be doing it like they are and it was wonderful to see them doing it,” Ron said. “They kept up a beautiful pace, just going and going and going. They were waiting for each other and at times they were almost swimming almost next to each other and I think that was definitely a benefit.”

To train for the swim, Matt and Shauna built up their endurance.

Matt works as a lifeguard at his local YMCA so he often swims after work.

“I have spent the last couple months preparing for this swim by working myself up to 100 laps a day for 5 days a week,” he said.

Shauna was on the JV swim team in high school, so she knew she had to mentally as well as physically prepare to swim that length.

“I started training around January through maybe half of March, but then I got really busy with job interviewing,” she said, “so when I got into the water, I was thinking ‘I’ll swim along as far as I can.Õ Ó At just after 1 p.m. on Tuesday, they started out from their grandparent’s summer home in Willsboro; Matt, clad in just swimming trunks, and Shauna, wearing a swim cap, goggles, and a Speedo swimsuit.

Ron drove the boat, while Jeanne watched them and their sis-

ter, Leanna, handed them Gatorade to keep them hydrated.

“The lake was beautiful, it was nice and calm the whole way.

The thing we watched out for was logs but of course at the speed we were going there wasn’t much danger,” Ron said.

“At first I was thinking it was too warm, but then I kind of realized once we got past Juniper and the lake was colder, which felt nicer, my muscles started cramping more,” Shauna said, “so I was actually grateful that it had been really warm the whole way.Ó However, some stormy conditions appeared early into the swim.

“When we got a little ways out, maybe around the [Four Brother] Islands, it started looking more and more stormy toward the New York side and of course the swimmers weren’t aware of that, they were too focused on Vermont,” Jeanne said.

They could hear a little bit of thunder, but once past the Four Brother Islands, they could see the storm start to dissipate. But the wind, which had been a very light Southeast wind, suddenly switched a little more to the south.

“A little bit of waves came up, but then we could see the calm water ahead and they [Matt and Shauna] kept kind of swimming back into the calm water so we stayed out of any major problems,” Jeanne said.

“For me the hardest part was that my muscles were cramping up because they weren’t used to swimming such a long period of time,” Shauna said, “so I made sure I drank plenty of water and Gatorade and really focused on mind over matter and relaxing my muscles.Ó “Once I got out to Juniper, I was like ‘there’s no way I’m not going the whole way now,’” she added.

Along with keeping watch out for debris in the path of the boat or swimmers, Ron said that he, his wife, and his daughter were constantly on the lookout for boats.

“We had a couple of jet skies come around and they changed direction quickly,” Ron said, “we want to make sure that if somebody starts coming at us, that the boat is between whatever is coming at us and the swimmers.”

“We did maneuver that way a few times, particularly there was a boat that swung around Shelburne Point and suddenly starting coming at Matt,” he added.

Ron gunned their motorboat and got in between his son and the other watercraft.

“I don’t know which direction they would’ve gone but they ended up veering off,” he said, “that was probably the biggest surprise because they kind of came out of nowhere and it was a speedboat and they were going pretty good.”

The brother and sister made it successfully to Shelburne Point a little after 5 p.m.

Jeanne remembers when Matt got to the other side: he climbed up on the beach just past the point in Shelburne and put his arms up while shouting “Yo Adrian I did it,” a line made popular from the movie Rocky.

“They both kind of whooped as they got to the other side,” Jeanne said.

For the future, both brother and sister aren’t sure if they’ll set goals to swim to other points on the lake, but for now Matt summed up the feeling each of them share: “I think that’s pretty much it, I might swim across again someday, but I wanted to see if I could make it.”

Cleaner air, stronger economy with natural gas Guest Viewpoint

By Eileen Simollardes

V

ermonters want a cleaner, healthier environment and expanded economic opportunities for families and employers. We also want the ability to compare options equally when deciding how to heat our homes and fuel our businesses, with an eye toward strengthening the environment and saving money.

Vermont Gas has proposed expanding its natural gas pipeline to bring more affordable, cleaner energy to more Vermonters and significantly increase Vermont’s ability to build and sustain vibrant economies in Addison and Rutland counties. But does this meet our goal of saving money and strengthening the environment? In a word, yes.

We know natural gas has less sulfur than the oil we burn and now a new independent study, the first full “apples to apples”

study to compare fuel oil and natural gas shows us that natural gas has 23% lower emissions. The study evaluates both fuels for Vermont, taking into account both methane and CO2 on a lifecycle basis, and natural gas is the clear winner.

Are these results surprising? No. The results are consistent with other information from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Energy Information Administration and other studies showing natural gas’ favorable emissions. This is one of the reasons why natural gas is a key component of Vermont’s long-term Energy Plan and of President Obama’s new Climate Action Plan.

The president’s plan in particular illustrates the vital role natural gas plays in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while transitioning to a more responsible and sustainable energy future.

Additionally, Vermont homeowners and renters can save up to $2,000 per year compared to heating with fuel oil, and eligible low-income customers can save another 20 percent. Vermont employers also can save energy and money, allowing them to create more jobs and reinvest in their employees, businesses and communities.

Residents and businesses all save with Vermont Gas’ awardwinning energy-efficiency programs that further reduce emissions and save millions of dollars more annually.

These local economic benefits, coupled with the significant environmental advantages, are why natural gas plays an important role in state and federal energy policy, and in a healthier, cleaner and more sustainable environmental future.

Vermonters make decisions based on facts. The Addison Natural Gas Project clearly lowers greenhouse gas emissions while expanding access to a more affordable fuel source. There is no other project -proposed or underway - anywhere in Vermont that has the economic and environmental benefits of the Addison Natural Gas Project.

Vermonters deserve the choice to convert to clean, safe and more affordable natural gas.

To learn more about the project, please visit www.AddisonNaturalGas.com EditorÕ s note: Eileen Simollardes is a vice president of Vermont Gas and the director of the Addison Natural Gas Project.

Greenwood, is an owner of the Book Nook on Main Street in Ludlow—is Seitz’s friend. He believes the series will hit it out of the park.

“In this debut mystery,” Stearns said, “Ace follows developments concerning the disappearance of a radio-station sales manager who appears to have embezzled a large sum of money from his employer (and then vanishes). Ace digs into the case and finds much more than a man on the run.Ó Seitz ought to know the smarmy goings on in small Vermont towns well enough to generate some terrific storylines. He has made his professional reputable reputation covering local news in the Upper Connecticut Valley since 1997, where he wrote for the Eagle Times (no relation) and the New Hampshire Union Leader.

According to Seitz, “I have been able to bring a more honest portrayal of what it’s like to work at a newspaper than the endless clichés seen in movies and on television.” Amen.

The first appearance of “Secrets Can’t Be Kept Forever” will be at the Book Nook in Ludlow with the world premiere book launch set for Thursday Aug. 1, 4-6 p.m.

Seitz said he will be available to sign copies of his books and he plans to read a few whiteknuckle pages from this, the first Ace Herron mystery.

Bowdish said the male is in his 20s, approximately 5’11” in height, with a thin, muscular body type. He was wearing a green “hoodie” sweatshirt with “Maine” logos imprinted on both the shirt front and sleeve.

“He was wearing a baseball-style hat, very dark sunglasses, sneakers, and khaki-colored pants,” according to Bowdish’s report. “He was clean shaven and polite during the incident and was carrying a black backpack.”

Police are asking the public for information which will lead to the arrest of the person involved in the robbery. Contact the Middlebury Police Dept. by telephone at 802-388-3191 or via e-mail at kbowdish@middleburypolice.org.

et your favorite pooch enjoy the end of summer with a dip in the pool. On Sunday, Aug. 25, 1-3 p.m., at White’s Pool—located at the end of Avenue B in Rutland—the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) is hosting the Dog Days of Summer Pool Party to raise funds for the homeless animals in Rutland County.

All funds raised, including entrance fees, are for RCHS. Each dog entry is $5 and a donation is requested for the people who attend. There will be free swim throughout the event (for dogs only) along with games (fastest doggy paddle and a dog jumping contest), vendors, free doggy frozen yogurt samples, and more.

All dogs must be leashed unless swimming in the pool. Vermont law requires all dogs to be up to date on their rabies shots. Puppies under four months old and dogs in heat will not be allowed to enter.

Any aggressive dog will be asked to leave. It will be held rain or shine and will be a fun time for the whole family, especially the dog.

A special thank you to the Rutland Recreation and Parks Department for donating the use of the pool.

If you have any questions or need additional information please contact the RCHS Business Office at 802-483-9171 or www.rchsvt.org. We hope to see you and your favorite water lovin’ canine Aug. 25 for a splashing good time.

If you’re looking for a lap dog, I may be your guy. I love to jump into your lap as soon as you sit down and snuggle with my favorite people. I like to help the RCHS staff members with their work and will sit on their laps with my head on the arm of the chair and relax. I love to go for walks and get excited when I see a leash. I’m looking for a quiet home where there aren’t a lot of people coming and going with without a lot of commotion.

TORI One year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Gray Tiger.

It is often said that good things come in small packages.

Well, that sure sums me up.

I am a tiny young adult, and what I lack in size, I sure make up for in personality. I am just a little bundle of joy and if you have some spare time I would love you to come visit me.
