FDA backs Omicron-based booster, paving the way for shots in Vermont (this) week
Erin Petenko
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized Covid-19 booster shots from Pfizer and Moderna on Wednesday that are targeted to the newest variants of the virus.
The Department of Health plans to start distributing an initial shipment of 17,000 doses on Sept. 6 or 7, assuming that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approves it later this week, said department spokesperson Ben Truman.
Vermont state epidemiologist Patsy Kelso told Vermont Public on Tuesday that boosters will be available at pharmacies and doctor’s offices.
The new shots contain viral material from SARS-CoV-2’s original strain as well as the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants, the FDA reported, giving people who get it “increased protection against the currently circulating omicron variant.”
Anyone 12 years and older is eligible for the Pfizer vaccine, while the Moderna vaccine is only available to those 18 years and older, the agency reported.
This is the second booster dose the FDA has made eligible to the general public, after authorizing the first booster dose in 2021. It recommended another booster dose in March for high-risk people and people 50 years and older.
When asked if the new boosters would also be available at the state’s remaining walk-in clinics, Truman said information specific to that would be posted soon on the department’s website.

An animal hospital at the Vermont-New Hampshire border is warning dog owners about a new contagious respiratory illness detected in New England.
Veremedy Pet Hospital, which has locations in White River Junction and Woodstock, this week emailed clients an alert about the disease, which appears to have originated in kennels in southern New Hampshire.
“It may be spreading to other parts of New England, including our area,” Veremedy wrote. “At the moment, the causative agent has not been found, and we have had reports of affected dogs testing negative to all the usual canine respiratory diseases.”
Linda Waite-Simpson, the executive director of the Vermont Veterinary Medical Association, wrote in an email that she had not been notified by the state about the disease. “It may be an emerging situation and they just haven’t notified us yet,” she said.
Dr. Brian Collins, a senior lecturer at Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine, said dogs who contract the disease “are requiring more intense treatment than what they would typically expect from some of the more common respiratory diseases,” including hospitalization. He equated the severity to canine influenza.

New details emerge in fatal crash of Kenyan cyclist during Vermont race
Suleiman ‘Sule’ Kangangi died after a high-speed crash at the Vermont Overland’s 59-mile dirt road bicycle race on Saturday.
The circumstances leading to Kangangi’s crash and death remain unknown, according to Ansel Dickey, owner of Vermont Overland.
Kangangi crashed while riding down Long Hill Road in South Woodstock, “a well-maintained, straight, downhill section of dirt and gravel, with good visibility,” Dickey wrote in a statement Wednesday.
Riders trailing Kangangi quickly came to his aid, according to Dickey, and local EMTs responded to the scene. Kangangi later died while en route to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
“I have no doubt that everyone in the cycling community and the 1100 riders who completed the Overland are completely perplexed about how something this horrifying could have happened to such a high-caliber rider,” Dickey wrote.
Kangangi was captain of Team AMANI, an international group of East African cyclists.
The Vermont Overland race includes nearly 7,000 feet of climbing and utilizes unmaintained Class 4 roads in and around Brownsville.
A GoFundMe page for Kangangi has raised over $65,000 in donations to support his family.

SAPA-TV grand re-opening
On Friday September 16 from 4-7 p.m. SAPA-TV will be re-opening its doors at its brand new location at 335 River St in Springfield, VT. The community is invited to celebrate the occasion and experience the beautiful new site firsthand.
After being located in the Springfield High School building since 1998, SAPA-TV moved in 2021 to their River Street location where construction on the new space has created a new television studio.
The grand opening will include local music, food and tours of the new studio. Questions and RSVPs should be directed to info@sapatv.org

Vermont State Police are investigating the death of an incarcerated person Sunday at the Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield, three days before he was set to ask a federal judge to release him.
Ronald Roy, 71, of Errol, New Hampshire, was in the prison infirmary when he was found unresponsive, according to a press release Monday afternoon from the state Department of Corrections. State police, per protocol, are investigating Roy’s death. In an earlier press release Sunday night, they said the death “does not appear suspicious.” An autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death will take place at the state's chief medical examiner’s office.
Roy is the sixth incarcerated person to die in the state’s prison system this year, and the fourth at the Springfield prison. Over the previous five years, a total of 15 people died in state prisons, according to the corrections department, including 12 at the Springfield prison.

Vermont State Police said the man who tried to escape from the prison in Springfield last month did so by slipping between the top of the fencing and the razor wire above it.
Police on Thursday identified Dustin L. Deberville, 33, as the person who they say tried to flee Southern State Correctional Facility on Aug. 24.
Deberville is set to be arraigned on a felony charge of attempted escape later this month. He has been moved from the Springfield prison to the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans.
According to a state police press release, corrections officers at the Springfield prison saw an incarcerated person climbing the interior fence around 9:35 a.m. that day before slipping under the wire. The person was later identified as Deberville, police said.
A corrections officer took Deberville into custody while he was still on prison grounds, according to the release. He would have needed to pass over two other fences to escape the facility.

VT Digger 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 was two hours of Queen favorites and a few deep cuts from Queen's vast catalog. After only a few songs Mullen told the audience to "get off your asses and dance." And most in the house did just that.
At times it seemed like the audience was waiting for that ONE song that they remembered fondly from their youth. And when the the keyboard player Malcom hit the first note, the crowd started singing "I've paid my dues..." "We are the Champions" had everyone on their feet swaying to the music.
Fans of Queen know the classics such as "Bohemian Rhapsody", "We Will Rock You," "Killer Queen," "Fat Bottomed Girls" and "Another One Bites the Dust" (they were played over and over on the radio in the late 1970s-1980s-they are tattooed on our brains!) but few actually saw Freddie Mercury, one of rock's legendary front men, in person before he died of complications due to AIDs in 1991, the chance to watch someone as talented as Mullen bring him back to life was a real treat.

Jaded Ravins
at the Wellwood Orchard Harvest Festival
Weathersfield, VT
We've been following Kelly Ravin for years so when we heard he's was playing at the Wellwood Orchards Harvest Festival-we made plans to be there. (Kelly has played at Wellwood Orchards before with Lowell Thompson in the band "The Welterweights"). This time he played with Halle Jade, they call themselves the Jaded Ravins.
Kelly is a wicked guitar player and has a way with words. He reminds me of Jason Isbell.
It was a fun two sets and a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Harvest Festival
Wellwood Orchards
Weathersfield, VT
Wellwood Orchards hosted their Harvest Festival on Saturday.
They were churning out their famous cider donuts most of the day. (Usually you have to get there right when they open on the weekend before this beauties are gone).
They are picking early varieties now. Paula Reds (early macs) , Ginger Golds, Macintosh, and Cortlands. Ask at the store before you pick-some varieties are NOT ready yet for picking.

Weathersfield Summer Hikes UPDATES-Only 3 hikes left
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.
