BRISTOL – On March 11, at 5:43 p.m., Carroll Maxwell, 50, of Monkton called 911, via her cellular telephone, to report that she was hiking with a 13-year-old companion; the pair were stuck on the cliffs at an unknown location in Bristol. Carroll told the operator that they were not prepared to spend the night on the cliffs and were not on a trail. Bristol Fire and the Middlebury Technical Rescue Team were notified as well and responded. Troopers located Carroll’s vehicle on the Lower Notch Road and the area they were climbing. Responding agencies included Middlebury Technical Rescue, Middlebury Fire Dept, Bristol Fire, Vermont State Game Wardens, Bristol Police, Vergennes Police, Stowe Technical Rescue, and the Vermont State Police. Both hikers were removed from the cliffs by Middlebury Technical Rescue with the assistance of responding agencies. All parties made it safely out of the woods with no injuries.

Videomaker finds voter fraud potential in Vermont By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — A conservative Internet journalist and videographer has recorded evidence of voter fraud in Vermont. James O’Keefe, who
Voter fraud in Vermont: captured on camera.
founded Project Veritas, released a new video that was made during recent Town Meeting Day voting. The Internet video, according to the Big Government.com website, shows how easy it is to commit voter fraud in the Green Mountain State. O’Keefe’s video, a follow-on to another New England-based documentary, titled “Primary of the Living Dead”, shows an undercover Veritas reporter entering several voting places around Vermont last week. In each case, the undercover reporter presents a different name to each polling station official. He is handed a ballot without having to show voter I.D. The practice opens the Vermont voting process to widespread fraud, according to the video. In the video, the agent repeatedly requests, but does not take, a Republican primary ballot. “We wanted to remind viewers this is not a partisan issue. This is a situation wherein anyone–Republican or Democrat–can exploit the system,” O’Keefe said in a Big Government.com news report. O’Keefe’s earlier video resulted in a new law requiring voter I.D. in New Hampshire State Senate. While most New Hampshire voterss applaud the law, the American Civil Liberties Union in New Hampshire said the law was “discriminatory against Latinos, African-Americans, elderly citizens, and others.” “States like Vermont and New Hampshire have to take dead people off voter registration forms and clean up their act, once and for all,” according to O’Keefe’s video.
