Today’s Seven Days is worth picking up just to see our writers in adorable little cartoon form on the cover, as illustrated by Rob Donnelly (right). But if you’re looking for actual news, here’s what we’ve got this week:
- Jasper Hill Farm isn’t named for a place, but for a guy who was actually named Jasper Hill. But Hill’s son calls the farm owners “grave robbers” and says they’ve cut off his access to water.
- Al Gobeille owns four restaurants. What makes him the right choice to be head of the Green Mountain Care Board?
- In Fair Game: One week after laying off 13 at the Burlington Free Press, is Gannett slowly killing its newspapers? Plus, Sen. Patrick Leahy rolls in the dough from special interests.
- And finally… Seven Days writers have been called many things, but “outdoorsy” is rare. We sent the team outside of their comfort zones. Worth a click to see Ken Picard riding a kiteboard.

The Freeps isn’t killing itself off… its already dead. Now it’s just taking the time to properly rot. Townsend is a large part of the problem too…
It would be nice to see someone like the Rupert Murdoch buy it up and run nothing but super conservative slanted pieces in it just to drive the progs in BTV crazy
Be nice if the Free Press was sold back to someone locally. Look at Seven Days, they seem to have figured out how to make money in this business, it is possible.
Or maybe a quasi public entity modelled on VPR?
7Days needs a copy of the Higbee video and a column on why it is Police throughout the state are manufacturing probable cause to pull people over… maybe have a chat with the Police Academy about what exactly they are teaching cadets…
