Detective Kinney transferred to rehab
By JOE CARDELLO
The Colchester Sun
Last Tuesday Colchester residents were
stunned when CPD Police Chief Jennifer
Morrison announced that Detective Cpl. Tyler
Kinney had been arrested on charges of drug and
gun trafficking. Kinney made his initial court
appearance that Wednesday and appeared for
his continuation trial on Friday. Most recently
he has been released – with an attached GPS
monitoring device – to the Serenity House for
rehabilitation in Wallingford.
Events that transpired on Monday Nov.
10 were outlined in an affidavit written by
Special Agent Matthew Ekstrom of the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(ATF). The affidavit was released on Nov. 12.
According to Ekstrom’s report, Kinney has
admitted to personally using heroin as far back
as one year and spent time with Peter Burnett,
of Burlington, partaking in drug abuse.
Burnett claimed that the pair initially met
when he was arrested a year ago by CPD.
The affidavit continues to explain that
through various means Burnett and Kinney
acquired and used heroin on a regular basis.
Burnett acquired the opiate on his own through
drug dealers while Kinney would sometimes
steal heroin for use from the CPD evidence
locker, the statement adds. Kinney, reportedly
also stole other drugs for Burnett to sell for
heroin.
The affidavit states that most recently
Kinney had stolen a Smith and Wesson .38
caliber Airweight revolver from the CPD
evidence locker. Ekstrom reported that the
weapon was given to Burnett for protection
while dealing drugs and Kinney suggested that
he begin selling methamphetamines in order to
support their drug habit.
Burlington Police, Ekstrom and FBI Agent
Colin Simons requested that Burnett partake in
a texting conversation with Kinney explaining
that he was “sick” and needed drugs. The
conversation also mentioned the stolen
revolver, which Kinney claimed he needed
back.
Kinney was later interviewed at the
Burlington Police Department by Simons and

In 2009 Greg Veltkamp and the Long
Trail Running Club hosted their first Run
Your Can Off can drive and 69 runners
attended. This year the events size almost
tripled with 188 runners in attendance for
the fifth annual event and piled up enough
canned goods and toiletries to fill two truck
beds.
Veltkamp and the creator of the Long
Trail Running Club – Mike Hall – had
wanted to start a long distance running event
in Vermont that would be all-inclusive.
The idea was formulated into the Run Your
Can Off event, which takes place at the
Glenbrook Nature Trail in Winooski on a
1.25-mile loop.
“It’s a great event because you can run
a lap with some friends, stop and grab some
hot chocolate and then run some more with a
different group,” Veltkamp said. “We’ve had
five runners show up at 2:45 p.m. and just
run two laps, and families that show up to do

The initiative builds on the
expertise and resources of the
agency’s nationally recognized

Ekstrom and he confirmed that what Burnett
had told police was true.
Further interviews with Kinney revealed
that he had stolen drugs in his police cruiser; he
claimed to be struggling to end his addiction.
Morrison has since stated that the policies
of the Colchester Police Department evidence
handling are being reviewed. She also claims
that destruction records are being compared to
items that Kinney had marked for destruction
in order to better determine what specifically
had been diverted from the locker.
“We are looking at every aspect of policy
and procedure, but those policies are only
as good as the people who carry them out,”
success in connecting individuals
with disabilities to meaningful
jobs and the potential for
School2Work to help students
transition to the workplace.”
Paya said School2Work
built a successful model serving
a limited number of students
over the past two years, and
now has the infrastructure
and funds to hire dedicated
staff and serve more students.
Partnership with TGFF also
extends School2Work’s reach to
students who are blind or visually
impaired, or facing a number of
other physical challenges.
“At CCS, we believe
full community membership
for those we serve has to do
with finding the most natural
opportunities to belong. And I
think the most natural way is
through employment,” Sightler
said. “In The Gibney Family
Foundation, we have a strong
partner that shares our values and
priorities on this.”

donations count just as much as the people’s

All of the donations are collected by
volunteers and loaded into the back of two
pickup trucks. At the end of the day they are
all brought over to the food shelf where they
can be stored until they are redistributed to
those in need. There is no required donation
amount and with 28 turkeys donated this
year Veltkamp was not displeased with the
turnout.
“We ask people to donate on a per lap
basis, you know one lap equals one can.

Cuttitta described after the event how in the past there were
different pods of volunteers who would help with various events;
however, the department never had an opportunity to address all of
the volunteers together. Recently the Parks and Rec department has
launched the Colchester PRIDE volunteering program. This allows

What would the Town of Colchester do with
an extra $1.2 million per year?
That is the question the Colchester Selectboard
is mulling as it considers the possibility of
charging a 1 percent local sales tax. The new tax
would require
voter approval. “We are leaving

Day in March.
The
tax
Marc Landry
would be added
Colchester Selectboard
to the 6 percent
state
sales
tax and apply to retail sales in Colchester with
exceptions for groceries, clothing, automobiles
and real estate. The one percent would also be
added to the 9 percent state sales tax for rooms
and meals, and the 10 percent state sales tax for
alcohol.
Colchester Chief Financial Officer Aaron
Frank estimates that the majority of the tax would
be paid by out-of-towners rather than Colchester
residents. Costco’s sales will account for roughly
two-thirds of the estimated $912,000 generated
from the retail sales portion of the tax. The meals
and rooms tax is expected to generate about
$255,000 for the town and the alcohol tax would
net about $20,000, Frank said.
The town’s total haul takes into consideration
the state’s cut of 30 percent of the 1 percent
revenue. Frank noted that the state uses local
option tax revenue to fund its “payment in lieu of
taxes” (PILOT) program that pays towns for state
property that can’t be taxed. So Colchester, with
its Niquette Bay State Park and other PILOTeligible lands, would also benefit from the state’s
cut.
Currently 11 other Vermont municipalities
employ the local option tax, including
Colchester’s neighbors in South Burlington,
Williston and Burlington. Voters in the Village
of Essex Junction defeated a local option tax
proposal in 2009. According to Town Manager
Dawn Francis, there is opposition to Colchester
adopting the tax among the local business
community.
“Some of them are not excited about it,” she
said.
Francis and Frank are recommending the
board use the majority of the tax’s revenue to
reduce the burden on property taxes. The averagepriced Colchester home ($289,000) would see a
tax reduction of $165 per year if $1 million if the
revenue is applied to that end, Frank said.
The remaining $200,000 in revenue should
be applied to maintaining local infrastructure and
helping fund new infrastructure like a municipal
sewer line, administrators and board members
agreed. But some on the board favored using the
entire $1.2 million on infrastructure needs.
Board member Marc Landry argued that a
$165 reduction in municipal taxes would be only
a small dent in an overall tax bill that includes
education taxes.
“We are leaving money on the table that
could make good things happen in town, like
a community center, sewers and whatever the
taxpayers want to do,” Landry said. “Worst case
scenario we could pay off our debts.”
If the board moves forward with the proposal
in December, it would hold two public hearings
ahead of the March vote. Francis recommended
that a ballot question contain language about how
the revenue would be spent.

Fifth graders share
Veterans Day tradition
Peggy’s Rogers’ fifth-grade
class, the Rockin’ Tacos, introduced
the third through fifth graders
at Malletts Bay School to a new
Veterans Day tradition in the first
week of November. Leading up to
Nov. 11, Malletts Bay students and
their families completed “Thank
You Veteran” cards for family
members who are serving or have
served in the U.S. military. The
cards are posted along the school
hallway for everyone to share.
This year the fifth graders in
Mrs. Rogers’ class led the students
in a special ceremony during lunch. After reading “America’s
White Table,” by Margot Theis Raven, the students created
posters to explain each symbol on the table. With the help
of Administrative Assistant Pamela Reith, a special table was
set up in the café. The table included a white tablecloth, a
black napkin, an overturned glass, salt, a lemon and a red
rose. After the other students settled in with their lunch, Mrs.
Rogers’ students read information about what each element
symbolized.
Two of Mrs. Rogers’ students invited family members to
join them for lunch on Veteran’s Day. Catherine Balch invited
her uncle, Michael Balch, who served tours in Afghanistan
and Iraq. Elaina Mack was joined by her grandparents, Mike
and Linda Mack of Richmond. Elaina’s grandpa served in the
Vietnam War.

Morrison said. “We are
seeking feedback from the
evidence audit and the folks
doing the investigation for
all of our current practices
and we are looking for areas
to improve in.
“Personally
my
only concern is for this
organization
and
the
community right now. That
is all I think about. We
need to focus on moving
this agency forward and
we hope to come out of this
stronger than we were in the
beginning. It’s important
to me that we maintain the
public’s trust and continue
to provide outstanding
service.”
During the continuation
hearing on Friday, the
prosecution agreed to allow
Kinney to be transported
to the Serenity House on
Monday at 9 a.m. However
a Motion to Stay Release
form that was filed later
that day by the prosecution
announced that they had
since become aware of
“troubling
information”
regarding Kinney.
An impromptu hearing
on Monday morning began
at 10 a.m. to address the new
allegations against Kinney,
claiming that he had made
threats against Burnett. The
specifics of these threats
have not been released.
The Assistant U.S.
Attorney
for
Vermont
handling the case – William
B. Darrow – agreed to
allow the planned release of
Kinney to the Wallingford
treatment center on the
condition that he wears a

while receiving treatment
for his addiction.

a certain point we stopped
needing to quantify the

were getting.
He admitted that during
the first couple years of
the event the group was
overwhelmed with the
outpouring of donations and
local response. However
with the recent expansion of
The Chittenden Emergency
Food Shelf they were able
to send volunteers to help
manage the event along
with the Long Trail Running
Club.
“The event is still
growing and I’d love to
see it continue to grow,”
Veltkamp said. “The City
of Winooski has been super

OPINION
Perspective
Vermont 4-Horses
Are they nuts?
State about to slap a
$.45 cent tax on gas?
By EMERSON LYNN
If several Vermont environmental groups and key policy
makers have their way, the Legislature will impose a tax on
gasoline and heating fuels, raising the price of a gallon of gas
an estimated 45 cents. This will be Vermont’s way to help cut
greenhouse gas emissions. They are delusional. Vermonters pay considerably above the national average
for their gasoline and heating oil. They are only now beginning
to enjoy a little extra cash in their pockets because the price of
oil has dropped so precipitously. And the ones benefitting the
most are the low and middle income wage earners.
Just when the economic pressures are beginning to ease
– thanks to lower fuel prices – and the savings to consumers
might be used to perk up the economy, there is a concerted
effort to slap a $.45 cent tax on a gallon of gas?
Did the voters’ message last Tuesday fall on deaf ears?
Apparently. It will not happen. If it does, the political repercussions for
those behind the effort will be swift and certain.
As an idea, a tax on carbon is an old one. It also makes sense.
The more something costs, the less it’s used. To be effective in
addressing global climate change we must reduce our usage
of the oil and gas we use to power our economy. The revenue
generated can then be used for the research and development
necessary to improve the efficiencies of renewable energy.
But this is not something Vermont can, or should do by its
lonesome. As a nation, it’s a defensible proposal. Even as a
region it would be worth pursuing. But to solidify Vermont’s
reputation as an expensive place to live by making sure
everyone also knows our gas prices are higher than anyone’s
else’s is daft.
The proponents of the raised tax pull the same political
tricks everyone else uses in pushing something unpopular:
They contend it will create jobs and that the revenue will be
used to reduce taxes.
Voila. Of course it will. We’re only surprised they aimed so low.
If slapping an extra $.45 cents on every gallon of gas stimulates
the economy and reduces the tax burden on Vermonters, then
think what a buck a gallon tax would do. Why stop there?
But it doesn’t work that way. Never has. There is no foolproof way to make sure that those most
affected are held harmless. And in a rural state like Vermont,
where there is little public transportation, the potential harm to
businesses is considerable. And that affects our jobs.
We’re already a no growth state. Why would we add to
our challenges? Is that the message these advocacy groups
heard from last week’s voters, that we’re under-taxed and not
interested in economic growth? Or did they have their press
conference planned far in advance of the election, and, despite
the disaster that unfolded, decided to plow forward regardless?
Whatever the reason, they have shown themselves to be
completely out of touch with the average Vermonter.
And it’s not that the average Vermonter isn’t environmentally
sympathetic. To the contrary, most Vermonters embrace the
need for a cleaner, healthier planet. Most Vermonters live their
lives in accordance with those beliefs.
But they are also smart enough to know what works and
what doesn’t. And what doesn’t work is to set ourselves
apart from all others in a way that puts us at an economic
disadvantage. There are ways Vermont can distinguish itself on the energy
front. We’ve argued before that we should trumpet Vermont as
the electric state and that we should broadcast our reputation
for energy innovation far and wide. We have that ability. And
that would strengthen our economy.
We can distinguish ourselves with the caliber of our
educational system, and our tourism related environs. We have
the ability to lead on issues related to the world’s food systems.
But we weaken our ability to do these things when we lessen
our ability to compete, and we lessen our ability to compete
when the cost to live here rises above the people’s ability to
pay. And that’s where we are.
The advocates of this proposal don’t get this.
The governor should shut down this idea as quickly and
convincingly as he can.

Attacking teachers won’t make our
schools better
By MARTHA ALLEN
Instead of renewing calls to work with the state’s
educators to make our schools even better for our children,
the Vermont School Boards Association over the weekend
chose to attack the men and women in Vermont’s classrooms.
After many, many years of state level collaboration
between teachers and school boards, their statewide
association now seems to think that their fellow Vermonters
who teach our children have it too good. Rather than
acknowledging decades of negotiation and decision-making
between school boards and teachers on health insurance,
the statewide association chose to ignore the overwhelming
spirit of collaboration that has guided thousands of collective
bargaining agreements.
Gone is the embrace of cooperation and local decisionmaking.
Gone is the acknowledgment that, because of constant
contact with children who come to school in all states of
good and bad health, school employees need (and pay for)
good health insurance coverage. (The same plan covering
teachers also covers support professionals, administrators
and even superintendents.)
And gone – well, actually, the boards’ association
never even started to help advance the reform of the health
care system – is any semblance of understanding that all
Vermonters should have good coverage.
Instead, the boards’ statewide association has resorted
to public statements (based on a “study” from a Montpelier
lobbying firm and paid for with thousands of taxpayer
dollars) of the obvious: if schools spend less on health
insurance for employees, it would cost less. If we stick it
to the women and men teaching Vermont’s children, school
districts will spend less. Newsflash: that is no newsflash.
It is a simple fact that the boards’ association has not
joined Vermont-NEA’s longstanding and strong support for
a publicly financed, universally available health insurance
system. A revamped health care system that provides good
health care access at a reasonable cost spread across all
635,000 Vermonters is good for us all.
So, rather than respond to the obvious, we will continue to
advocate for the general well-being of our state, its children,
and all working men and women, including the professionals
who have dedicated their careers to providing all of our
children a great public education. Instead of finding ways
to punish educators – and advocate for diminishing health
coverage for all of us – we invite the boards’ association to
join us in what is right for all Vermonters.
A comprehensive single payer health system will ensure
continued good access to care for teachers, and it will result
in reduced costs to their employers. It will extend good
health care to all Vermonters.
The boards’ association has sat on the sidelines of the
health reform debate for years. It’s a shame that it chooses
now to half-heartedly embrace it by trashing the very
health insurance plan its members developed along with us
that has, through its more than two-decade history, saved
taxpayers millions of dollars a year. School boards might
want to consider the wisdom of their association’s continued
public statements of the obvious or whether they might be
better served by their association’s useful participation in
advocating with us for meaningful health care reform.
That, not heated rhetoric meant to demonize teachers,
is what would help our children and all of Vermont’s
taxpayers.

of Vermont-NEA.
Lower costs, cover everyone, protect choice
By BEA GRAUSE
Vermont’s not-for-profit hospitals congratulate all of the
candidates who have been elected to serve our state over the
next two years.
Like all Vermonters, our hospitals believe in providing
more affordable access to everyone, preserving quality and
protecting the right patients have to choose their doctor and
hospital and make their own healthcare decisions. These
principles must be at the heart of our work in the coming
months.
For many Vermonters, the cost of living is a daily
challenge – which includes the cost of health insurance and
health care. Lowering health care costs for Vermonters by
slowing hospital cost growth has been our top priority. For
two consecutive years, we’ve delivered hospital budgets with
historically low increases of 2-3 percent, while expanding
access – and we intend to continue this important work.
Together, hospitals provide and support more than
27,000 direct and indirect jobs in Vermont, about five times
the state’s largest private employer and one out of every 12
workers. As we work together to improve our healthcare
system, changes that undermine the economic value and job
creation potential of the system itself would be a step in the
wrong direction.
At the same time, Vermont’s not-for-profit hospitals have
become deeply immersed in one of the most meaningful ways
to reduce health care costs: improving the way hospitals and
doctors are paid. We must convert the system from one that
rewards health care providers for quantity – billing for every
test, office visit or hospital stay – to one that aligns all providers
to keep individuals and communities as healthy as possible.
As our elected officials tackle the challenges of health
care reform, Vermont’s network of doctors and nurses will
continue to provide the highest quality care around the clock,
every day. We look forward to working with the Legislature,
administration and Green Mountain Care Board to accomplish
what’s most important to Vermonters – lower costs, universal
coverage and protecting patient rights.
Bea Grause is the President and CEO of Vermont
Association of Hospitals and Health Systems.

Sometimes nothing in Vermont seems as contentious as
our educational system. We read and discuss articles about
what is taught, how it is tested, how – and where – budgets
are passed; Act 60 and its implications for our property
taxes, consolidations of school districts, class size. All are
important to understand here in Vermont. Yet if we do not
have children of our own in the school system it is easy to
become disassociated from the educational needs of Vermont
schoolchildren, and by extension children across the country.
This book is the antidote. An account of a year in the life
of a rural Vermont high school English teacher, it is vivid
and honest, clear but never pedantic, compassionate but
not sentimental. It would be an excellent choice for a book
discussion group as well as anyone who is looking for a deeper
understanding of the world of high school.

“The Snowman,”
by Jo Nesbo
Adult Fiction, 2011
Reviewed by Josh Muse, Adult Services
Like so many before him, Harry Hole is a brilliant detective,
but is downright lousy at the rest of his life. Fixated on work and
perpetually struggling with alcohol and sheer despair, his lifestyle
takes its toll on those around him. In this, the seventh book in
the series, married women start disappearing, with no sign left
behind but a menacing snowman. Hole and the rest of his team,
including his brand new partner Katrine, must chase down the
few clues they have. Each time they seem close to a solution, an
entirely new aspect of the case emerges. Nesbo’s books are grim
and violent, as befits a contemporary Scandinavian thriller, but he
brings an impressive intensity to every sentence of prose. Much
of the author’s Norwegian setting will seem familiar to American
readers, but occasional differences (especially names) lend it a bit
of flair and uniqueness.

PARASITIC DRAW
All the computer systems and
electrical accessories embedded
in modern vehicles rely on car
batteries for the power needed to
run them. One potential problem
that owners face in this respect
involves “parasitic draw,” the electric
current that is drawn off the battery
by a device while the ignition key
is turned off. Naturally, it’s to be
expected that vehicles need a small
amount of power to preserve the
memory in the multiple computers
needed to maintain drivability and
keep other electrical components
at the ready. However, when
added accessories are using more
power than expected and/or other
components are not shutting down
properly, a weak or dead battery may
result. A parasitic draw test can help
resolve the problem.
Our facilities boast the latest
technology in repair mechanics with
a staff of professionally trained and
certified technicians to check your
electrical components. At ESSEX
AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES, we
enjoy helping our community
handle their automotive needs.

Essex Jct. today to have it looked
at. Preventative maintenance saves
you money in the long run. Have

HINT: Problems with parasitic draw often
occur after vehicles sit for inordinately
long periods of time, during which the
alternator cannot recharge the battery.

November is National Adoption Month.
You can be the positive change in a child’s life.
There are over 1,300 children in the Vermont foster care
system and over 60 children waiting for an adoptive family.
You don’t have to be perfect to be a foster or adoptive parent.
You don’t have to be married, rich or own a home. You will be
supported every step of the way by our team.
Now is the time to let Johnny* dance his way into your heart.
HowardCenter is helping Johnny, an 8 year old Colchester kid,
find his adoptive family. Johnny’s supports describe him: He
is a huge Michael Jackson fan, adores showing off and sharing
his dance moves, especially to Thriller. He is genuinely kind
and deeply empathic. He loves being active, competitive and
is determined in all sporting activities. He is tough and never
complains about the cold when skiing, and will swim as long
as you can take it. He loves to be tucked into bed at night with
a kiss on the forehead.
Johnny shares “I want a family who watches movies, plays
sports and can help me with my homework. I want to ride
on the big yellow bus too”. Johnny does well if he has a
predictable routine and can look forward to special one on
one time with the caring adults in his life. He is a typical
growing young boy, who needs caregivers to help guide him
in a direction that will lead to a successful, bright future.
Even if you’re just curious, contact us today to learn more
about Johnny and our team!

RELAXATION
Many people
are aware of turkey’s ability to induce
feelings of relaxation, particularly when
eaten in abundance at the Thanksgiving
dinner table. Turkey contains the amino
acid tryptophan, which plays a role in
triggering production of serotonin.
Serotonin can induce feelings of relaxation
and sleepiness.
LOW-FAT
A serving of turkey is only
161 calories and contains just four grams
of fat, which is low in saturated fat.
B-VITAMIN BENEFITS
Turkey is an excellent source of B vitamins,
including B3, B6 and B12. Having enough
B3, also known as niacin, is important
for overall health, and higher levels of
niacin can improve cholesterol levels and
lower a person’s risk for cardiovascular
disease. B6 is also called pyridoxine.
It’s involved in the process of making
certain neurotransmitters, including
serotonin and norepinephrine, which
transmit signals in the brain. Important for
neurological health, B12 helps decrease
levels of homocysteine, which can
contribute to cognitive decline.

Thanksgiving is coming, along
with all the family, fun and fixin’s.
Although the tryptophan in turkey
can cause sleepiness there are many
other reasons this holiday’s main
course is worth every bite.

HOLIDAYS &
NEW
TRADITIONS
Turkey
truths
PROTEIN Turkey is often
overshadowed by other meats in
refrigerated display cases, but it remains
an excellent source of protein in a lowfat package. A typical 3.4- to four-ounce
serving of skinless turkey breast (about
the size of a deck of cards) contains
around 30 grams of protein, providing
about 65 percent of the average person’s
recommended daily allotment of protein.
Protein helps the body feel full and serves
many essential functions in the body.
Proteins regulate the entry of nutrients
through cell walls, help the body grow and
help it to generate antibodies that fight
against illness.
IMMUNE SYSTEM
People
may not know turkey contains selenium,
which is key to healthy thyroid function.
It also helps boost the immune system by
playing a role in the body’s antioxidant
defense system. Selenium may help
eliminate free radicals in the body that
would otherwise contribute to cancer risk.
Some of the most dramatic changes
of aging can be centered on the holidays.
Each family has its own customs.
Whether that means placing an ancient
and honored menorah in the front
window, or being the first house on
Main Street to light and decorate a tree
in the big bay window, these are ways
we define ourselves as individuals and
families.
Time can force changes on us in
different ways. Over the course of years,
we may have to adapt to celebrations in
new places, with new people, or without
some of the loved ones who were the
center of our traditions.
Kids are supposed to grow up and
away. In the best of situations, our little
ones will be adapting our traditions in
the homes they build for families of
their own. This can mean some trips to
grandparents’ for the holidays and some
grandparents traveling for the holidays.
Beyond the changes our children’s
growing up brings, are the more
challenging ones aging brings to us.
Decorating every room in a large house
is fine when you are in your 30’s, but
the further you get past 50, the longer
each of those rooms takes. This brings
the conversation to moving to an agingappropriate home.
Traditions are not always portable.
I found this out in re-locating from a
Victorian on Main Street to a Colonial
on a quiet cul-de-sac. Imagine my
shock on the Fourth of July when no
parade marched past the house. It wasn’t
something I had thought through. After
an unsettled hour or two, I got my
expectations re-adjusted to a complete
day off, gardening with patriotic music
on my iPod.
Now, the holidays are coming and
we already know a lot of the decorations
won’t fit in our new home. The tree
will be 8 feet tall at best, no children
are expected to visit, and we will be
traveling to family rather than the other
way around.
The prospect of all this change
and the loss of so many time-honored
traditions can create ambivalent feelings.
Part of me is relieved at less work and
more time to relax and enjoy the season,
but another part never really expected
anything to change. Deep in the back of
my mind is a Norman Rockwell picture
featuring me in a comfortable, old chair,
surrounded by familiar things and doting
loved ones. This year there will be a new
picture and in five years that will likely
have become the tradition I value so
highly.
Aging-in-place doesn’t happen by
accident. It comes with change, but that
doesn’t change the happiness of the
holidays.

“We are going to be a little young and

was a lot of offense in that group. We will

this season and win ugly sometimes. We
are experienced on the back end with
Erik Swan and Jake Rocheleau in goal. We
also have several returning defenseman,

“150 Minutes.” A show featuring the
recent works by artist Scottie Raymond
who goes by the alias, eSKae1. Initially
inspired by his recent success in the
Magic Hat Wall to Canvas competition,
where each artist is given 150 minutes
to complete a piece of art. Building off
of this concept, eSKae1 created a series
of 150 minute “instantly produced art.”
The pieces are inspired and informed
by the visual and literary artists of
the Beat generation. Raymond uses
mixed media, primarily spray cans, to
build and position juxtaposed layers,
ultimately culminating in an individual
character. Exhibit runs through Dec. 31.

Peanut
Fall in Love Furry Friend
8 year-old Neutered Male
Reason Here: Not a good match for previous home
Summary: Meet Peanut! This not-so petite pal is looking for a
great home where he can be king of his indoor and outdoor castle
lands. A real prince, Peanut is gracious and kind to all that he meets
and will happily join you on any journey you set out on. With a strong
willed attitude but a soft heart, Peanut is ready to set off on his
voyage to his forever home,
would you be so kind as to
accompany him?
My thoughts on:
Dogs: I lived with dogs
and was friendly with but
was also swatty at.
Cats: I don’t have any
experience living with cats.

The Chittenden
Emergency Food Shelf
turkey round-up
The Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf is asking the
community to help provide 3,000 turkeys for food-insecure
families in Chittenden County. Thanksgiving is just around the
corner, and no family should go hungry on this holiday.
The food shelf is also looking for donated turkey fixings
such as boxed mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce,
pumpkin pie filling, corn, rolls and green beans.
Thanks to the generosity of community supporters, the
Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf has been able to keep pace
with the growing demand for services. Since there has been a
steady increase of new
people accessing the
