by Joseph Gresser NEWPORT — U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders made what, for him, at least, was a flying visit to Newport Friday afternoon.  Vermont’s senior senator was at the Gateway Center for one of his annual visits with local seniors, but untypically, he spoke and answered questions for less than an hour. Senator Sanders explained he had been invited to speak at an event being held to mark the sixty-third anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington led by Martin […]

by Joseph Gresser ORLEANS — Vermont parades almost invariably save fire engines, with their lights flashing and sirens blaring, for the final act, finishing up the lineup. Not so on Saturday, when a parade wound its way through Orleans.  It had shiny red engines in front, in the middle and at the end of the procession. That was fitting, as the parade was held to honor the one-hundred-and-fiftieth birthday of the Orleans Fire Department.  Much of that department’s origins are […]

by Gabrielle Gervais LOWELL — At 15 years old, lifelong NEK resident Jake Swanson already knew what he wanted to do for a living.  Naturally, it involved a chainsaw.  He used one a lot as a teenager growing up in the area, mainly to cut up firewood.  “I kind of just started hacking away at a sculpture one day, and kept going, and kept going, and I was able to make a living out of it.” He recalled that first […]

by Joseph Gresser NEWPORT — If the charges filed against Lisa Gaylor, 40, of Barton stand up in court, her story may be one of a fox guarding the henhouse, according to the affidavit filed by Vermont State Police Detective Sergeant Joshua Mikkola.  Sergeant Mikkola’s affidavit says Thomas Howell, himself a former State Police Trooper and currently head of administration at Jay Peak Resort, called police on April 21 and said Ms. Gaylor, who worked as vault supervisor, had embezzled […]

by Gabrielle Gervais MORGAN — In positive news:  Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings draw quite the crowd at Morgan Country Store.  On the downside, select board member Larry Labor says it’s causing traffic concerns for both pedestrians and vehicles passing by on Route 111. “They’ve made an arrangement to use the church parking lot, and that seems to be working well.  But therein lies your problem: crossing the road,” Mr. Labor said.  Plus, he said, once the country store’s o

by Joseph Gresser NEWPORT — After the charge was amended from one of sexual assault on a person under 16 years of age, Justin D. Maloney, a 33-year-old man from St. Johnsbury, pled guilty to the lesser  charge of lewd and lascivious conduct.  That charge is still a felony. Judge Rory Thibault imposed a 45-month-to-60-month term on Mr. Maloney and ordered him to serve 36 months of that time behind bars. An affidavit from Vermont State Police Trooper Joshua Lewis […]

Both Ethan Allen’s board and the slate of director candidates organized by Doug Bergeron, are attempting to collect proxies before the co
