Allbee can work with any of the other candidates

NEWFANE — I am voting for Roger Allbee on Aug. 26.

Roger has served our country in the U.S. Army in special weapons with the rank of captain.

He has served our community as the chief executive officer and administrator of Grace Cottage Hospital/Carlos G. Otis Health Care Center in Townshend. And he served our state as secretary of agriculture, food, and markets.

He has the background, experience, and commitment to serve us in the State Senate. And, once you meet him you recognize that he has a way to bring people with differing viewpoints together to get a mix of ideas and approaches to work through issues.

I have attended various forums and believe that he can work with any of the other three candidates to the benefit of Windham County.

Please join with me in electing Roger Allbee as our new Windham County State Senator.

January is the month when Vermonters pore over the seed catalogs and dream wistfully about how their flower and vegetable gardens will grow in the coming year. And, for more than 60 years, one of the determining factors for which annuals and perennials will survive in Vermont is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Plant Hardiness Zone Map. The map assigns a zone number to an area, reflecting the average annual extreme low temperature in an area over a 10-year period.

Out of context

By

Wednesday, October 5, 2016 — Issue 377

Voters receive a lot of information during campaigns, and it's important to check the facts. For example, Lt. Governor Phil Scott, the Republican nominee for governor, recently said “We've lost nearly 2,500 workers per year since 2010” (Aug. 31, Burlington Free Press). This is true, but misleading. Workers are part of the labor force, which consists of those who are working and those who are unemployed but want to work. The issue is that counting workers is not the same...
