Kenyan bicyclist Sule Kangangi died in a crash during the Vermont Overland gravel race on Saturday, his team said.
Kangangi crashed at high speed during the race, Team Amani said in a statement posted Sunday on Instagram and Facebook.
“Sule is our captain, friend, brother,” Kangangi’s team said. “He is also a father, husband and son. Gaping holes are left when giant’s fall. Sule was a giant.”
Kangangi was riding in his fourth and final race of his team’s American tour, according to the team’s social media. He competed in races in Colorado and Nebraska with teammates John Kariuki and Jordan Schleck on other weekends in August.

In explaining his unwavering advocacy for veterans, Alex Black,(a Perkinsville resident) recalled a climatic scene from the critically acclaimed 2000 release of Mel Gibson’s “The Patriot.”
During the film’s final battle, confronted with a faltered line against British forces, Gibson’s character sets aside his personal vendetta, snags a tattered U.S. flag from a fallen flag bearer and rallies his troops to hold their ground. Leading by example against a formidable opponent, Black compared the scene to his own call to action following his older brother’s untimely death.
“My brother’s passing was a big factor in finding the courage to try something new,” said Black, who deployed with his brother to Afghanistan in 2010 as a combat medic with the Vermont Army National Guard. “It also ensured that I continue to help others whenever possible the way he did.”
Alex’s brother, Wesley Wade Black, made national headlines last year for a lawsuit he filed against the VA that claimed medical malpractice. The subsequent court’s decision earned him a settlement for $3 million in September 2021, as well as much national attention from media outlets. A recipient of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his service in Iraq and Afghanistan, Wesley used the platform to instead raise awareness for veterans exposed to burn pit toxins.
Seeing his older brother succumb to colon cancer on Nov. 7 at just 36 years old, Alex took it upon himself to continue the uphill climb for veterans.
Without the national news outlets and platform his brother had garnered, Alex sought to pave his own path toward reaching the same goal. He instead merged a passion for online video game streaming and his motto “Once a doc, always a doc” to create his own vision.
“My job in the military was to look after others, and that doesn’t stop just because I was honorably discharged,” added Alex, who left the military in 2018 after more than a decade with the Vermont Army National Guard. “I will continue to look after my fellow veterans to the best of my abilities.”...
On Jan. 1, Alex officially launched a Facebook channel, “Doc Black Gaming,” where he livestreams himself playing games that include Call of Duty Warzone, Fortnite, Halo Infinite and Apex Legends, among others. The streaming, Alex added, immerses viewers into an atmosphere that he hopes could be synonymous with the camaraderie found among active-duty military.

Vermont’s first accredited Geriatric Emergency Department at Mt Ascutney Hospital
The Emergency Department at Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center (MAHHC), a member of Dartmouth Health, has earned accreditation as a Level 2 Geriatric Emergency Department from the American College of Emergency Physicians.
The voluntary Geriatric Emergency Department (GED) Accreditation Program, was created to recognize emergency departments that uphold the highest standards of care for older adults.
The accreditation process provides best practices for geriatric care, such as guaranteeing the best transition of care from the GED to other settings and prioritizing education surrounding geriatric care.
“There are so many dedicated people that played a significant role in getting us across the finish line of this goal,” said Emergency Department Chief Physician Assistant Lee Morissette, “It has truly been a team effort, and I am proud to say that we provide the very best care for our older patients.”
The Geriatric Emergency Department at MAHHC is a “spoke” site of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center’s “hub,” which is the nation’s only rural Level 1 Geriatric Emergency Department.
VTDigger launches general election debates with US Senate event in Manchester on Sept. 8
By VTD Editor
Vermont’s Republican and Democratic U.S. Senate nominees are set to face off next month in their first debate of the general election.
The event, part of the 2022 Digger Debate Series, is scheduled to take place Sept. 8 at 6 p.m. at the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester. A limited number of tickets are available now by clicking here. The event will also be livestreamed. The debate will feature Republican nominee Gerald Malloy, a businessman and veteran of the U.S. Army, and Democrat Peter Welch, a member of the U.S. House. The two are competing for the seat being vacated by retiring U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.
This debate is sponsored by the Necrason Group.
The 2022 Digger Debate Series began in April and has featured events focused on the competitive primaries for U.S. House, lieutenant governor, attorney general and secretary of state. In the coming months, VTDigger plans to host at least four general election debates — some in person and some online-only.
It’s official: The results of Vermont’s primary are now certified
Lola Duffort reporting for VT DIGGER
It’s official: The results of Vermont’s Aug. 9 primary election are now signed, sealed and delivered.
After technical glitches delayed the process, originally scheduled for Aug. 16, representatives from all three of the state’s major parties met at the Secretary of State’s Office in Montpelier on Monday afternoon to certify the results of Vermont’s statewide and federal races.
Vermont GOP Chair Paul Dame, Progressive Party Chair Sen. Anthony Pollina, P/D-Washington, and Vermont Democratic Party Executive Director Jim Dandeneau met with Vermont’s election officials at the State Street office for the legally binding yet largely ceremonial affair. “That’s it?” Secretary of State Jim Condos asked with a grin after the three men had spent some 15 minutes passing certificates around a table and signing on the dotted lines.
“That’s it,” replied Will Senning, who leads the Secretary of State’s Office's elections division.
The certified tally confirms preliminary reports of strong voter turnout. With 133,578 votes cast, this election had the second-highest primary voter turnout in state history. About 38% of voters, or 51,243, took advantage of early or absentee voting options. And voters overwhelmingly chose to complete Democratic ballots, with 102,408 cast compared to 30,560 for Republicans. Progressive ballots numbered 610.

On Friday we drove to Manchester VT to see HISS Golden Messenger (full band this time!). The show was scheduled to be held at Billsville Outdoor in Manchester but with the skies were threatening so the concert was moved to the Levity Mountain Barn on 7A just outside of Manchester.
The band plans to release a new CD so they tried out a lot of new songs on the Billsville crowd.
This was our first time seeing HISS GM with a full band, previous shows were solo.
A visit to this year's Sunflower House will not disappoint you. You have to pay the regular museum admission but even if you only visit the Sunflowers-you will go away VERY happy.
According to their website: "This year’s mandala-inspired living labyrinth will welcome guests to roam, play, and take lots of photographs! Filled with over 100 different varieties of sunflowers, with heights from 18 inches to 14 feet, the space will feature broad brush strokes of blooms of all shapes and sizes with a colorful palette ranging from orange and red to golden yellow.
Enter the Sunflower House Instagram Challenge by posting your best Sunflower House photos and tagging @billingsfarm using #VTSunflowerHouse for a chance to win Billings Farm’s cheese! One winner will be selected each Thursday from August 11 through September 8."

After a visit to the Sunflower House at Billings Farm and Museum my friends and I made the quick drive across town in Woodstock to Prosper Rd for our next adventure, exploring Sculpturefest 2022.
This year features some old favorites (like the cat above) and quite a few new installations. Some of the new sculptures include this one from Phil Thorne. Which is fairly flat but looks like 3-D tubes. It was fascinating.

Weathersfield Summer Hikes UPDATES
Please contact Steve (stevea47@tds.net) if you plan to attend ANY or ALL of the hikes.
In your email-include you phone number.
In your email-include you phone number.
Let him know which hikes you are
interested in, and he will contact you about a week before for just those, or
you can say “ALL” and he will contact you for each hike.
“Contact” means
confirmation and directions. Do not show
up for a hike without eventually signing up – changes often occur. Hike start PROMPTLY– we wait only 5 minute. Let him know if you want us to observe Covid precautions: masks as we
gather, maintain distance as we walk unless your companions agree not to.
The hikes are being
organized under the auspices of Weathersfield Parks and Recreation.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome. We expect a range of hiking speeds.
Are you new to hiking? Wear footwear that is broken in and appropriate for our uneven trails. Hikers join us at their own risk.
Feel free to call Steve, organizer, at 263-5439. Experienced hikers, too, please ask questions or comment freely.Birding:
Marianne Walsh is happy to lead a bird walk from the upper section of Bowen Hill Rd to the wetlands on the Springfield/Weathersfield town line on Skyline Drive. The walk would be during a weekday and would be early (6 AM ?). Marianne walks this section in spring, summer and fall. If interested, contact her at 802-885-9420 or mwalsh@vermontel.net.

Saturday,
September 10th, 4:00 PM:
Ferry Road and the Connecticut
River
This generally level
route with one steep descent of about ten yards heads down shaded Ferry Road
and into Skyline Nursery. Soon it follows the river, sometimes with views. At one point the remains of the huge Consul
Jarvis sheep barn can be glimpsed. (Used to be – high corn last year!) The
total length is about 2 miles. Carol Orth is the leader.
Saturday, September 24th,
9:30 AM: Cooks Pond Loop
This is a route on wooded
dirt roads more than on trail. There is a lovely framed view of Mt. Ascutney
from the south end of Cooks Pond. Other mountain views occur at later points.
Difficulty: easy to moderate, with one long incline and a shorter one. Distance:
almost 3 miles, unless a hiker goes only as far as the pond and then back up,
less than 2 miles.
Saturday,
October 1st, 8:00 AM: Ascutney Mountain
We will go to the fire
tower and the Brownsville Overlook. We will go up the Weathersfield Trail, but
people wanting a less strenuous hike (.7 miles up) could drive up and meet us
at the top, we hope. I expect to join that shorter climb. We leave early
because parking later is a problem.
Other days in October are open for rescheduling, maybe Mt. Cardigan, and a hike at your request. That last one could be earlier in the season.
