You may have heard about @THISISVT, the new Twitter account which will be operated by a different Vermont citizen each week. It was created by the state Department of Tourism in the vein of @Sweden and @NewZealand, but hopefully without the awkward moments. Picking a citizen to temporarily act as the voice of a polity…
This week in movies you missed: a gay romance that transcends categories, and one of the most acclaimed movies of 2011. What You Missed It starts as a one-night stand. Russell (Tom Cullen), a burly, quiet lifeguard, thinks Glen (Chris New), a wiry, volatile art student, is “out of his league.” They meet at a…
Updated below: Donovan racks up another newspaper endorsement. In the closing days of the race for the Democratic nomination for attorney general, newspaper endorsements are steadily trickling in. And, as with endorsements from politicians not named Howard Dean, Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan appears to be cleaning up. Last Friday the Stowe Reporter and…
When word spread Wednesday afternoon that Castleton State College’s new-ish polling center would release fresh results on the bitterly contested Democratic primary race for attorney general, reporters drooled. At least, I did. After all, we live in one of the least-polled states in the union, leaving political reporters to simply guess what real people are…
Former governor Howard Dean slammed attorney general candidate T.J. Donovan Wednesday for insinuating that opponent Bill Sorrell’s campaign illegally coordinated an ad campaign with an independent super PAC. During a brutally negative Burlington Free Press debate Tuesday, Donovan — the Chittenden County state’s attorney — said he had heard “numerous complaints” of such coordination, but…
With just six days to go before the August 28 primary, a new poll from Castleton Polling Institute shows incumbent Attorney General Bill Sorrell with a commanding lead over Democratic challenger T.J. Donovan. At least among those who have made up their minds. Almost a third of voters surveyed said they were undecided in the Democratic…
We interrupt our serious coverage of Vermont’s 2012 election campaigns to bring you this totally frivolous bit of infotainment. Every two years, Vermont politicians go through the rite of passage known as pandering for running for re-election. How do candidates win the hearts and minds of voters? Not with wonky policy plans and details about…
Bernie’s Republican opponent, John MacGovern, refers to him as millionaire Senator Sanders. But last we checked, he ranked among the poorest members of the Senate.
Since John Vitko opened the Sweet Spot at the end of June, he’s had to tweak the recipe of Scout’s Honor, the ice cream he named for his young daughter. He used to add viscous yolks from his own chickens’ eggs to Monument Farms cream, but mounting demand for his sweet, complex scoops has forced…

Eva caught up with them the day before their…
Curses, Foiled Again! After a two-car crash in Williamsport, Pa., injured one driver, the other sped from the scene. Before he’d gone a block, his car broke down, so he fled on foot. Investigating Patrolman Dustin Reeder found the car and discovered a wallet in the center console with a driver’s license belonging to Scott…
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do you know what a controlled burn is? Firefighters start small, manageable fires on purpose so as to eradicate brush that has accumulated too close to wooded areas. With less fuel around, bigger fires are not as likely to ignite accidentally and turn into conflagrations. I encourage you to use this…
Leftover food news: Another foodie festival; High praise for L’Amante
Daysie Dis Our name was brought up in a negative context in [“A Decade of Daysies,” August 8]. I can understand how Seven Days would be upset about the possibility of ballot stuffing, though a computer glitch seems a more likely explanation, as I can’t think of anyone who would have the motivation, time and…
