A homeless unsheltered Vermont baby left outside in the cruel cold of 31°F or colder weather can die from hypothermia in as little as 15 to 45 minutes. Infants and young children are particularly vulnerable to hypothermia because they lose heat more quickly than adults and have less body mass.
Couldn’t we charge Governor Phil Scott and the entire Vermont legislature with negligent homicide or something?
Summary
The Board had an Executive Session to hear a grievance.

Marlboro Morris and Sword will perform our annual sword dances and mummers’ play Saturday and Sunday, October 11 and 12. English Longsword Sword dancing is a mid-winter street performance celebrating the cycle of the seasons. The dance is often accompanied by a comic play with a death and resurrection involved, signifying the continuation of life after the winter. All performances are free.
I think the biggest stories in the United States right now are the protests against National Guard Troops which President Donald Trump wants to send to various cities, all of which have filed lawsuits to stop deployments.
The problem, as I see it, is there is a full moon tonight, and that can get people going. How excited will protesters be during a full moon?
Today, October 6, 2025, the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC), Lawyers for Good Government, and others filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island on behalf of beneficiaries of the Solar for All program to restore the program that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sought to terminate in July.

We invite artists working in any medium — visual, literary, or performance — to submit works that respond to the central question:
What does democracy look like?
This isn’t a literal question. It could be as much about what democracy feels like or sounds like. It’s as much about community as politics. We welcome works that celebrate, question, grieve, protest, or reimagine.
You’ve seen him filming around town – at Gallery Walk, Town meetings, graduations, Perseverance Park….As BCTV’s Production Manager NOLAN EDGAR multi-tasks between filming, editing, teaching, wrangling equipment, and helping local producers create unique shows that enrich our community and beyond.

While there is no formal agenda for this meeting, one might say it is divided in three parts:
Just in case the rest of the world needed affirmation, it is now crystal clear that the President of the United States is an arrogant, stupid fool who is in love with himself. There are other mental health issues as well, but his speech in front of the United Nations was painful to listen to, even for a few seconds. It sounded as though there was a lot of derisive laughter as he spoke. As an American, it was an embarrassment. Nothing new.
Trump’s madness is escalating because he has become completely intoxicated with his power. He is able to do whatever he wants and no one else in power is stopping him. There have been a few legal challenges and a few high level politicians have railed against him but, for the most part, his power is unfettered.
On Thursday, October 2nd, Green Mountain Power will be replacing telephone poles and other utility work on Abbott Road.
A full road closure will be in effect between the Ames Hill intersection to 541 Abbott Road on Thursday from 7:00a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Abbott Rd can be accessed from Greenleaf Street, up to 541 Abbott Road.
