Farm-to-Cafeteria event benefits Misty Knoll Farm
FAMILY GATHERING — Congratulations to Leslie and Travis Scriber of Vergennes on the birth of their son, Jackson Lee Scribner. The baby was born Sept. 17 at Fletcher Allen Health Care hospital center in Burlington. As evidenced by the surgical mask, the hospital staff is now taking extra care with newborns due to the H1N1 swine-flu virus. Mom Leslie is office manager for New Market Press Newspapers.
LINCOLN—On Sept. 30, at 3 p.m., Lincoln Community School students will ride their bikes 5.5 miles from LCS to the Bristol Green in a farm-to-cafeteria event to raise money to ensure Misty Knoll locally-raised chicken is a consistent part of the school’s lunch program. “The idea of a bike ride got the kids excited,” said school foodservice manager Laura Collaro, organizer of the event. “And raising money to buy healthful, local products for school lunches not only helps the kids appreciate the food they are served, but also directly engages them in the ‘why? what? where?’ of buying local, natural products.” Students not riding from the school can choose to ride from the Bristol Lord’s Prayer Rock to the town green, around the green, or pledge to ride to school a certain number of days during September. Prior to the ride, bike safety instruction will be reviewed with all
riders. The day of the ride the Addison County Sheriff ’s office will provide two vehicles to help manage traffic as students move along the streets. Bikers will be greeted at the end with a celebration at the Bristol Farmers’ Market that includes food and a raffle. Water bottles for all riders were donated by several local businesses. According to Principal Tory Riley, “The benefit bike ride provides students with an opportunity for physical activity with peers, parents, and community members. By raising money to support a local farm, children begin to understand connections between healthy food, a healthy local economy, and a vibrant community in which we support one another.” Rain date for the ride is Wednesday, Oct. 7. For more information, contact Laura Collaro at the Lincoln Community School at 453-2119.
Unlocked cars Security activity reported at the Rutland Airport lure thieves By Beth Schaeffer

MIDDLEBURY—It’s not your father ’s Vermont anymore. Leaving your car unlocked and out-of-sight will likely invite thieves to help themselves. That’s exactly what the Middlebury Police Department is reporting after a month of thefts reported by local auto owners. Within the past few weeks, several vehicles parked at residences in Middlebury have been entered; items visible from the outside have been reported stolen. In all cases, MPD officals report, the vehicles were left unlocked. MPD Sgt. Jason Covey is warning residents to keep vehicles locked at all times and to avoid leaving valuable items in plain view. “Items such as GPS units should be left attached to the windshield,” Covey said. “Insofar as possible, homeowners should leave outside lights turned on overnight, particularly in the area where vehicles are parked.” Police seek anyone with information about these recent incidents; call the MPD at 388-3191.
NORTH CLARENDON—Unusual security measures were in place at the Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport during the mid-morning hours of Sept. 26; it was not clear what was going on, but there appeared to be a larger presence of state police vehicles and personnel present than usual at the state’s second largest airport. The level of activity last Saturday suggested that it may have been more than just a law-enforcement exercise. Vermont State Police troopers, with an accompanying bomb-squad van, were visible near the main terminal and outlying hangar area. An anonymous neighbor residing near the airport told the Tribune that
he had heard “a high-level government official” was arriving at the state airport. The Tribune could not confirm the comment. Another neighbor, wishing to remain anonymous and residing near the airport, said she believed U.S. Secret Service personnel were involved. The Tribune could not confirm her comments. Airport and law enforcement officials were unavailable for comment. An unidentified private or commercial jet aircraft was seen on an airport taxiway just north of the main terminal. It is unknown if the jet was associated with increased security measures. The Rutland airport is located in North Clarendon, five miles south of the City of Rutland. The facility’s longest runway is 5,000 feet in length.
