newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — It took 208 years, but the City of Rutland and State of Vermont finally got around to erecting an historic marker recognizing the birthplace of John Deere, the inventor of the plow that broke the plains. Unlike Middlebury residents, who got the state to erect a marker at the former Main Street site of Deere’s famous blacksmith shop, Rutland residents never seemed to get around to recognizing their famous native son. The unveiling of the John Deere Rutland Birthplace Historic Marker will take place Wednesday, July 18, at 1:30 p.m. at Main Street Park. Passersby had a sneak peek at the official state iron marker this week while it was being erected. Deere was born Feb. 7, 1804 in Rutland and died May 17, 1886, in Illinois. Deere, a blacksmith, founded Deere & Company, one of the largest and leading

MONTPELIER — U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) joined the bipartisan outcry against the 2012 Team USA Olympic unforms made in China by fashion-designer Ralph Lauren. The uniforms will be worn by U.S. athletes during the opening ceremony in London next week. Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress deplored the use of imported Olympic gear which many said could be manufactured domestically. According to Sanders, “The Olympics are a time when Americans take great pride in our nation’s top athletes as they strive for gold. At a time when millions of Americans are unemployed, there is no reason why U.S. Olympic uniforms are not being manufactured in the U.S. ” Joining Sanders on Capitol Hill, U.S. Sen.
