Mrs. VT ’12 says farewell as reign ends
Police issue fraud alert NEW HAVEN — Vermont State Police in Addison County are working with several law enforcement agencies in California investigating numerous recent reports of fraud. The ongoing investigation does not suggest that the recent cases are linked. Trends in the case have been telephone calls or Internet orders to rural businesses around Addison County where an order is made and money is exchanged. In some cases, purchases are being bought with stolen credit cards, and other cases businesses are swindled into sending money to the offenders via MoneyGram or Western Union to California. The Vermont State Police caution community members about the dangers of sending any amount of money to an unknown source. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Vermont State Police at 802-388-4919. Information can also be submitted anonymously online at www.vtips.info or text CRIMES (274637) to keyword VTIPS.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com SUDBURY — Mrs. Vermont 2012 Melissa Felkl said goodbye to her crown this week. The Sudbury resident's year-long reign ended March 17. Her last official function was a visit to the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce's Rutland Business Show, held at the Holiday Inn, March 12. There, gracious as ever, Felkl chatted with local business owners and inquisitive attendees. Felkl, a two time state pageant title holder, is a native Vermonter . While she has pursued a career far and wide, she remains close to the place where she grew up. “I was born and raised with my sister, Eileen, in Vermont.” she said. “My father, Richard, was a contractor, and my mother, Mary, was a dedicated housewife.” Mrs. Vermont grew up in Sudbury where she and her husband, Peter, settled with their two sons, Jared and Drake. Like many Vermont women, Felkl is an outdoors person; she doesn't let her gender and grace interfere with hunting, fishing, and camping pursuits.
