Star Parties Planned at Hoisington Field, beginning Sept. 8th

The Southern Vermont Astronomy Group (SoVerA) and the Weathersfield Proctor Library will host Star Parties at Hoisington Field this fall. The parties will be on Fridays when the weather is good and the Moon cooperates (that is, it doesn't shine so brightly that it washes out the sky).

They are posting a list of potential star party dates, so that interested people can pencil them in on their calendars. They will also send out notices closer to the date when it looks like we will have clear skies for an upcoming Friday. All of these dates are weather dependent.

The first possible date is Friday, September 8th.

They are planning for this to start with a cookout at Hoisington Field — a Star-B-Q. Grills will be provided. Bring your own food to grill, and a small side to share. If this is a success, we may make it a regular feature of our star parties.

Below is the list of Friday nights with crescent moons or no moon for the rest of the year.
Friday Night Star Party Possibilities:
September 8, Waning Crescent sets at 2:01 pm — Star-B-Q
September 15, New Moon sets at 6:40 pm
September 22, 1st Quarter sets at 11:40 pm
October 6, 3rd Quarter sets in daylight
October 13, No Moon

Vermont Golden Honey Festival
Saturday, September 9 10 AM-4 PM
Golden Stage Inn, Proctorsville VT


Repeatedly voted one of the “Top 10 Fall Events” by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, the Vermont Golden Honey Festival is part Farmers Market with local produce and hot food, and part craft fair with artists and crafters selling their unique items for you and for gifts.

Every vendor is encouraged to have products with some connection to bees … honey apple pizza, honeybee print fabrics, honey gin, beeswax balms and soaps, kombucha and mead, caramel sauce, and so much more. Our co-hosts, Goodman’s American Pie of Ludlow Vermont offers up their Honey Apple wood-fired pizza from their 1940s-tow-truck-converted-into-a-mobile-wood-fired-beehive-pizza-oven! (The honey used on their pizza is from Jess Goodman’s own hives right here in Proctorsville.)

Honey-related food and drinks (did we mention mead and honey gin for the adults?), crafts, books and kids’ activities are just a few things highlighted during this one-day Rain Or Shine event that has certainly become a regional favorite.

An evening with author Marilyn Webb Neagley, September 14 at the Weathersfield Proctor Library at 6:30 PM
Weathersfield Proctor Library and the Weathersfield Historical Society announce an evening with author Marilyn Webb Neagley September 14 at the Library at 6:30 PM.

Attic of Dreams: A Memoir by Marilyn Webb Neagley, former resident of Ascutney, Vermont and one of the formative leaders of Shelburne Farms will be released by Rootstock Publishing on September 5, 2023.

Julia Alvarez, Dominican-American poet, novelist, essayist, and author of Afterlife, says about Neagley’s book: “Marilyn Neagley’s memoir addresses issues so critical now: how to take care of our natural world, of each other, of ourselves—we need magic attics of imagination and stories that inspire our activism. In addition her book touches on a beloved place in Vermonters’ hearts, and by extension all the beloved places on our planet home we have neglected for far too long!”

Attic of Dreams is a lyrical memoir tracing a life of healing from family dysfunction and jumping headlong into a life of natural curiosity, art, and activism. Themes explored include home and community; addiction and secrecy; recovery and restoration; the arts and the natural world; growth and wholeness; and how the changing times and culture are perceived through older eyes.

Marilyn Webb Neagley served as president of Shelburne Farms from 1976 to 1988. She is the author of two previous books and co-editor of another. Her 2007 book, Walking through the Seasons, received an IPPY gold medal for best northeastern nonfiction. She has been a Vermont Public Radio commentator and has written essays for her local newspaper. Neagley, raised in Ascutney, Vermont, currently lives with her husband in Shelburne.

Yankee Bookshop will have books available for sale.

Answering your questions about COVID-19 in Vermont this fall
Vermont Public | By Sophie Stephens

This summer has shown some of the lowest COVID-19 numbers nationwide since the start of the pandemic. However, recently there has been a small increase in cases seen nationwide and in Vermont, and a new variant — EG.5, which is a member of the omicron family.

There’s also a new booster coming this fall.

So it seems COVID-19 is starting to be on people’s minds again. Many of you had questions — and so did we.
We talked to state experts to help answer some of these new and recurring questions to help you take stock of the current state of COVID-19, fall vaccines and testing.

What’s causing the current uptick in COVID-19 cases?

These new COVID-19 cases are starting to be comprised of a new variant, EG.5, which Dr. Tim Plante — a general internist, epidemiologist and assistant professor at the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine — said is on its way to being the dominant strain in the U.S. The variant is related to others in the omicron family.

"It's thought to evade antibodies from prior vaccines and prior infections," Plante said recently on Vermont Edition, which is leading to more cases after a quiet stretch.

So far, Eris doesn’t seem to be more worrisome than other omicron subvariants, as far as transmission and the severity of infections.

And new variants are expected — it’s just the nature of COVID-19 and a lot of other diseases, and they aren’t necessarily a cause for concern according to John Davy, a Vermont Department of Health epidemiologist.


Take the Climate Impact Survey
Please visit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/K2ZGPN8
The Town of Weathersfield will be updating its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) in 2023. The purpose of this planning effort is to identify natural hazards and vulnerabilities, assess risk, and identifies mitigation actions to reduce or eliminate future losses resulting from those hazards.

This survey provides an opportunity for you to share your opinions and participate in the planning process. The information you provide will help us better understand your hazard concerns and can lead to mitigation activities that reduce the risk of injury or property damage in the future.

This survey consists of 16 questions and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.


FEMA extends deadline for Vermonters applying for flood aid

Residents of nine counties included in a federal disaster declaration now have until Oct. 12 to apply for individual assistance, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Friday. State officials requested an extension earlier this week.
By Paul Heintz reporting for VT Digger

The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced Friday that it has extended by a month the deadline for Vermonters to apply for individual assistance related to this summer’s flooding.

The new deadline is Oct. 12.

Earlier this week, state officials called on FEMA to extend the deadline beyond Sept. 12, and the agency’s federal coordinating officer in Vermont, Will Roy, promised a “very prompt response” at a Wednesday press conference.

Individual assistance is available to homeowners and renters in nine counties included in the federal government’s major disaster declaration: Caledonia, Chittenden, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, Rutland, Washington, Windham and Windsor. Residents of other counties hit hard by summer flooding, such as Addison, have so far been excluded.

According to FEMA, those who qualify for individual assistance may be able to receive help with housing or driveway repair, temporary housing, hazard mitigation, the replacement of damaged household items or vehicles, and disaster-related child care and medical expenses. The U.S. Small Business Administration also provides low-interest loans to individuals for similar needs. (See VTDigger’s and Vermont Public’s guide to FEMA aid for flooded homes.)

How a Senate Staffer From Norwich Helped Right the Wrong Done to J. Robert Oppenheimer
By Ken Picard reporting for Seven Days

Moviegoers who watch the closing credits of Oppenheimer may notice a familiar name. Writer and director Christopher Nolan's three-hour biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist who led the Manhattan Project during World War II to develop the atomic bomb, ends with a thank-you to retired U.S. senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont.

Unrelated to Leahy's appearances in Nolan's Batman trilogy, this cinematic shout-out is about righting a decades-old injustice. Vermont's longest-serving U.S. senator played a critical role in clearing Oppenheimer's name 55 years after his death. And longtime Leahy staffer Tim Rieser deserves his own screen credit for the role he played in that process.

The Norwich native worked for Leahy for 37 years, mostly as his senior foreign policy aide on the Senate Appropriations Committee. Rieser's political savvy and deep relationships in Washington, D.C., earned him a level of influence rarely achieved by Capitol Hill staffers. In one of his final acts before Leahy retired in January, Rieser helped right a grievous wrong that ended Oppenheimer's career — one that, as viewers of Oppenheimer now know, was based on a lie.

Head of Springfield prison retires; search begins for new superintendent
Mike Lyon retired last week, according to the corrections department. The Springfield prison has been challenged by staffing shortages, prison deaths, and complaints about medical care.
By Alan J. Keays

The head of the Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield has retired, and the corrections department is looking for the next person to head up the beleaguered facility.

Mike Lyon retired last week from the Vermont Department of Corrections after nearly 30 years in the ranks, according to Isaac Danyo, a corrections department spokesperson.

Danyo said Tuesday that Lyon’s retirement had been planned for some time. Lyon had served as superintendent of the Springfield prison since January 2019, Danyo added.

In April, Lyon was placed on paid leave after a misconduct complaint from within the prison, corrections officials said at that time. One month later, the corrections department reported that an investigation had found that the misconduct allegation was unfounded and Lyon returned to his post at the Springfield prison in May.

Corrections officials have not disclosed the nature of the misconduct allegation, but have said it was not related to the number of deaths — a total of 12 — of incarcerated people at the Springfield facility since January 2022.

VT Digger flood coverage featured at Phish benefit shows
The concerts, at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, raised more than $3.5 million for flood recovery efforts in Vermont and New York. VTDigger contributed to a documentary that played during set break Friday and Saturday nights.
By VTD Editor

VTDigger’s coverage of this summer’s devastating flooding in Vermont took center stage last weekend at a pair of benefit shows Phish performed in Saratoga Springs, New York.

The nonprofit news organization worked with the band’s management to produce a four-minute multimedia presentation on the natural disaster featuring VTDigger photography and reporting. It was broadcast during the band’s set break Friday and Saturday nights on a free livestream and on the video system at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center’s Broadview Stage.

Phish, which was founded in Vermont in 1983, raised more than $3.5 million for flood recovery efforts in Vermont and New York at the weekend events, the band announced Monday. Its charitable arm, The WaterWheel Foundation, plans to work with the Vermont Community Foundation and other organizations to direct the funding to individuals and businesses affected by the flooding, as well as long-term resiliency projects.

“We are so grateful to everyone who donated their time and resources to make these benefits possible, and those that attended the shows or watched online,” said Phish keyboardist Page McConnell, who lives in Vermont. “The joy in the room at these concerts was undeniable. But for the people affected by the flooding, it is an ongoing struggle. That’s why we are continuing to accept donations, raise awareness and distribute the funds.”

In addition to Phish’s headlining performances — the second of which included a sit-in by Tedeschi Trucks Band guitarist Derek Trucks — the weekend featured a pair of pre-show acoustic sets by McConnell and Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio for those who bought a special package. The shows were broadcast for free via LivePhish.com and viewers were encouraged to donate.

It may be years before FEMA maps show the full flood risk to Vermont communities
The data FEMA collects to determine insurance needs is the most detailed information available on flood hazards — but it’s years out of date, and years away from an update.
By Erin Petenko

On Tuesday, dozens of Montpelier residents gathered to discuss ideas for improving the city’s relationship with the three rivers that run inside its borders.

The stakes were high. Just over a month earlier, Montpelier had been inundated with 4 to 6 feet of floodwaters, destroying or damaging large portions of the downtown area and residential neighborhoods.

Amid discussion of building up water infrastructure and restoring upstream floodplains, one key question circled: How far and how high did the flood go, exactly?

One resident, who did not give his full name, made a request for “accessible and easy-to-understand maps” that could tell Montpelierites “where did the rain come from that comes into the city?”

Those maps, to an extent, already exist. The Federal Emergency Management Agency maintains the largest database of estimated flood hazards in the nation, including for Montpelier and many other Vermont communities.


Did Vermont officials quash local school mask mandates? Inquiring feds want to know.
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights is investigating allegations that Vermont state officials improperly prevented school districts from requiring masks to slow Covid-19 transmission.
By Peter D'Auria reporting for VT Digger

The U.S. Department of Education is investigating Vermont’s Agency of Education over claims that state officials overruled school districts’ mask mandates — and violated students’ rights by doing so.

The investigation is focused on “whether the AOE limited school districts’ ability to make individualized determinations that allow for the mandatory masking of students and staff as a reasonable modification,” according to a letter from the federal Department of Education to the Vermont Agency of Education, “thereby discriminating against students with disabilities who are at an elevated risk of severe illness from COVID-19 by denying them an equal educational opportunity to access in-person learning, in violation of (federal law).”

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights launched the probe in April of this year. The federal agency opens investigations in response to complaints alleging discrimination in educational settings. It’s not clear who filed the initial complaint, nor when it was filed.

A spokesperson for the federal Department of Education, Alberto Betancourt, declined to comment. A spokesperson for the Vermont Agency of Education, Ted Fisher, also declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.

But in response to a request from VTDigger, Fisher provided communications between the feds and the state.

Central Vermont has received more than 20 inches of rain this summer. It’s the most in 75 years.
The Barre-Montpelier area received 22.7 inches of rain from June to August, the highest it’s reported since at least 1948.
By Erin Petenko reporting for VT Digger

Central Vermont has received upward of 20 inches of rain from June to August, putting it on track to have the rainiest summer since the National Weather Service began collecting data in the region.

The Edward F. Knapp Airport in Berlin reported 22.7 inches of rain from June 1 to Aug. 30, according to the weather service. A good chunk of that total — at least 5 inches — came from a mid-July storm that flooded the region and set a one-day rainfall total record on July 10. But the rest of the summer has been rainier than normal, too.

Vermonter discovers 2 new planets for senior thesis
Jack Duranceau, a recent Dartmouth graduate, followed a complex process to find and then validate his planetary finds.
By Max Scheinblum

Jack Duranceau knew from a young age growing up in Quechee that he wanted to do something with science, though the specifics of the job changed “week by week,” he said.

The scope finally narrowed in the summer of 2016 when, in his first year of high school, he attended an astronomy summer camp run by the Governor’s Institutes of Vermont. “Astronomy” as a blanket field had piqued his interest, but this experience opened his eyes to the nitty gritty.

“I really enjoyed the data processing and just the work in general,” he said. “So I said, ‘OK, I’m going to continue with this as far as I’m still interested.’ And I’m still very interested. So it’s worked out.”

Before graduating from Hartford High School in 2019, Duranceau built a telescope as part of his honors capstone, saying he “just kind of dipped my toes in” and “sort of taught” himself how to take in and use astronomical data.

But that was peanuts compared to his latest venture: the discovery of two exoplanets — planets far outside Earth’s solar system — 257 light-years away.

Covid-19 spread during Middlebury Bread Loaf conference
As the storied gathering of literary writers went forward last week, there were an increasing number of positive cases. By the end of the conference on Saturday, 28 people had reported becoming infected.
By Kristen Fountain

Laura Mauldin came to the Middlebury Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference from New York City in mid-August prepared to be vigilant against infection from Covid-19.

The sociologist and nonfiction writer brought KN95 masks that she wore during indoor gatherings on Bread Loaf’s Ripton campus, and she ate all her meals outdoors.

Despite those efforts, she started feeling very sick on Friday as the conference was ending, becoming one of 28 participants who organizers said had reported a positive Covid test.

“I tried to do everything as an individual that I could do to protect myself,” Mauldin said in an interview Monday, adding that it was her first bout with Covid-19. “But there is no amount of me doing my individual best that can overcome a failure of community policy.”

The conference’s current Covid-19 policies mirror those of its affiliate, Middlebury College, which starts orientation for new students next week. Both entities say they follow guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and rely on individuals to manage their own testing and to voluntarily mask and isolate themselves when symptoms appear.

Andy Warhol in Vermont
Hall Art Foundation, Reading VT

The Hall Art Foundation is pleased to announce an exhibition by famed American artist Andy Warhol to be held in its galleries in Reading, Vermont from 13 May – 26 November 2023. 

Cultural icon, celebrity and provocateur, Andy Warhol produced works that are instantly recognizable and have inspired a generation of artists. Seriality and appropriation were signature aspects of Warhol’s painting and sculptural practice. 

He often made many different versions of the same subject, perhaps most famously with his iconic multi-part work, Campbell’s Soup Cans (1962) which depicts 32 different versions of a Campbell’s soup can. Shortly after completing these works, Warhol began to make paintings using silk-screens, a process that greatly facilitated his explorations of image multiplicity. 

For any given subject, Warhol might use several different source images, producing multiple versions of each picture, sometimes in different sized formats, or sometimes using different color combinations for the silkscreen inks and paints, or sometimes both. 

In other cases, he would use the same exact silkscreen and the same color silkscreen inks and paints, allowing the randomness of the screening process itself to introduce variations in tonality and color saturation in the individual paintings.

Post Flood Information

Flood Clean UP-What to know
Those cleaning their homes after the flood should put their debris near the public road (*not common household trash). 
Towns will either pick up the debris or work with a contractor to haul it away. 

It is important that you sort out any household hazardous waste like cleaning supplies, fuel, paint, etc. Those items will be collected at a later date. 

Guidance can be found at https://www.fema.gov/fact-sheet/debris-removal-guidelines-help-you-and-your-community, you needn't make six piles but hazardous materials should be stored away.

A guide to the FEMA aid process for flooded Vermont homes

Since historic flooding swept through the state last week, Vermont Public and VTDigger have been working to gather information on what you can expect when applying for federal aid. Here’s what we know so far.
By Carly Berlin reporting for VT Digger

Who’s eligible for federal assistance right now?

Residents of six Vermont counties — Chittenden, Lamoille, Rutland, Washington, Windham and Windsor — are eligible for Individual Assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency as of July 20. Other counties that also faced flooding could be approved as FEMA continues to assess damage on the ground.

You must be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national or qualified non-citizen (including refugees and people granted asylum) to apply.

What is Individual Assistance? What should I expect from the application process?

Individual Assistance can cover such expenses as repairing damage to your primary residence, rental support if you’re displaced from your home, and loss of personal property (belongings in your home), among other things. It’s sometimes referred to as the Individuals and Households Program.

It’s meant to help with costs not covered by insurance — but it’s not a replacement for insurance. FEMA aid likely won’t replace everything you lost. It’s meant to meet basic needs and “make homes habitable, safe and sanitary again,” said FEMA spokesperson Briana Summer Fenton in a phone interview.

You can apply online at disasterassistance.gov, on the FEMA app, by calling the FEMA helpline at 1-800-621-3362, or in person (more on that below).

When you register, you’ll be asked for identifying information like your Social Security number, an address where the disaster happened and where you’re currently staying, and a description of the damage you experienced. That’s why it’s important to document your damage before you start cleaning up.

After you apply, FEMA will determine what kind of assistance you’re eligible to receive. An inspector may get in touch with you to assess the damage; you can ask to see their government ID to confirm they’re not a scammer.
How much money are we talking about here?

The maximum amount FEMA provides for housing-related assistance is $41,000, though financial assistance to rent temporary housing and for “accessibility-related real property costs” aren’t subject to that cap.

When should I apply?--The deadline to register is October 12

Disaster resources available for Vermont residents and businesses
Federal grants and loans can help provide relief to individuals and businesses in eligible counties.
By Hannah Cho reporting for VT Digger

At a press conference Monday morning, federal and state officials gave a rundown on disaster help available for Vermont residents and businesses as they recover from last week’s flooding.
Assistance for individuals

So far, residents of Chittenden, Lamoille, Rutland, Washington, Windham and Windsor counties are eligible for federal grants to help cover uninsured or under-insured losses resulting from last week’s flooding.

More counties are likely to be added to the list as federal assessments of the damage continue, and state officials said residents should wait until their county is approved before applying. As part of that data collection, state officials are encouraging residents to continue reporting damages by dialing 2-1-1 or visiting vermont211.org.

The aid is available through the Individual and Households Program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA.

“This assistance can be for home repairs, or rent support for displaced individuals while repairs are made, and for other disaster-related expenses such as medical, dental, funeral, moving and storage and personal property losses,” said FEMA branch director Chelsey Smith.

The agency will accept applications through Sept. 12 on its website and at its call center, said Smith. Staff will be available at recovery centers and on the FEMA helpline at 1-800-621-3362 to answer questions.

Once a person registers for FEMA assistance, staff members, who will be carrying badges, will visit that property to learn more about the damage, Smith said. To date, the agency “has received 882 valid registrations for assistance,” with about $56,000 in recovery funding disbursed so far, she added.

Unemployment relief, rebuilding help offered after Vermont floods
The federal government has approved disaster unemployment assistance benefits and eased restrictions for homeowners in flood-ravaged regions seeking financial help.
By Paige Fisher reporting for VT Digger

The Vermont Department of Labor will make federal disaster unemployment benefits available to Vermonters who were left without work due to last week’s catastrophic flooding, while the U.S Department of Agriculture has made it easier for rural residents to recover and rebuild.

The benefits are available to people in the counties for which the Biden Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Administration have made major federal disaster declarations. So far there are six: Chittenden, Lamoille, Rutland, Washington, Windham and Windsor counties. Additional counties may be added to the list in the future, the agency has said.

Individuals living, working, or scheduled to work in these counties may be eligible for disaster unemployment assistance. Also, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Family Housing Repair Loans and Grants program is available to low-income flood victims.

When Flood Warnings/Watches are posted-What should I do?

Vermonters should monitor media reports, follow instructions from Vermont Emergency Management, never attempt to walk or drive through flood waters, and familiarize yourself with your best flood evacuation routes. 

Some key resources
2-1-1: For help getting connected to resources and services such as shelter, disaster response, and more, call 2-1-1.

9-1-1: For emergency situations, always call 9-1-1.

Best Practices for Safety
  • Never drive or walk through floodwaters. Strong currents or unseen washouts can sweep you and your car away.
  • Turn off the circuit breaker in your home before you evacuate – if you can do so safely.
  • If rising water is approaching, leave.
  • If you need to evacuate, do so over high ground. Plan that route as soon as possible.
  • If your home floods, have a licensed electrician inspect your electrical system before you once again occupy your home.
  • If you are in a flood-prone area, or if you believe your home will be flooded, it is advisable to move valuables from your basement in case water enters your home.
  • Check your insurance coverage now, and then contact your insurance company if you have damage.

How to Help with the Recovery Efforts
At a press briefing about the floods on Tuesday morning, Public Safety Commissioner Jennifer Morrison also plugged a state website, vermont.gov/volunteer, where Vermonters can register to volunteer.

"For now, please focus your volunteer efforts on the hyperlocal level," Morrison said. "Check on your neighbors and the most vulnerable in your neighborhood."

The Vermont Community Foundation announced on Tuesday the creation of the VT Flood Response & Recovery Fund 2023 to coordinate and distribute support to hard-hit communities. The foundation also recommended other organizations to donate to, including the American Red Cross of Northern New England; BROC Community Action; Capstone Community Action; Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity; Northeast Kingdom Community Action; and Southeastern Vermont Community Action.

Recreational Water Safety After a Flood Recreational Water After a Flood  

While rivers and lakes can have hazards and contamination under normal conditions, severe storms and flooding can increase the risk of getting hurt, sick, or drowning at these bodies of water. 

Stay out of any body of water for at least 48 hours following heavy rains, and longer if it has flooded. 

Rainstorms and Floods Create Hazards 
• Swollen rivers and fast-moving currents can create dangerous conditions at swimming holes and rivers for days after a heavy rain event. 
• Severe rains may bring bacteria or microorganisms that can make you sick into the water from overwhelmed wastewater systems and runoff. 
• Sharp objects, like glass or metal fragments, and spilled fuel or chemicals can also be carried into swimming areas by stormwater runoff and flooding. 

Stay Out to Stay Safe 
• Stay out of rivers and streams until the water is clear and calm – usually several days after a storm. Watch the currents and listen for the sound of unusually loud rushing water. Natural waters can have hidden dangers below the surface, like formations that create suction. 
 • After heavy rains, stay out of any body of water for at least 48 hours to avoid the risk of getting sick from contaminated water. In a public swim area, you can swim if the water has been tested and it’s safe. • After a flooding event, it may take several days before water is safe for swimming and recreation. 

What to Know Before You Swim 
• Check with the park manager or town to see if the swim areas are open and whether they have tested the water quality. 
 • Look for and obey any posted signs at beaches and parks. 
• Never swim alone. Water is stronger than you think, and accidents can take only an instant. 
 • Watch for cyanobacteria in the water, since extra nutrients from the floodwater may cause blooms. They can make the water appear dark green, and look like pea soup or spilled paint. 
• Don’t swallow beach water or swim with open wounds that can get infected. 
• Shower after swimming, and wash your hands before eating.

The Vermont Creemee Database: Vote for your favorite

Erin Petenko reporting for VT Digger

Nothing goes better with a hot Vermont summer day than a cold, sweet, creamy cone of soft serve ice cream.

Wait, soft serve? What are you talking about? There’s only one type of ice cream that reigns supreme in the Green Mountain State: the creemee.

A creemee is not quite synonymous with soft serve, but they share some similarities. Both take prepared ice cream “bases” that vendors can mix flavor into and serve from the same machine, according to E.B. Flory, dairy chief of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets.

Creemees, however, are supposed to contain a higher percentage of butterfat — a minimum of 14%, versus 10%-14% for soft serve, Flory said. Creemees are often sold in maple, black raspberry, vanilla and chocolate flavors, or as a twist of two flavors. They can come with toppings or be dipped into chocolate or other sauces to create a hard outer coating.

How many creemee stands are there in Vermont? Until recently, this seemed an unanswerable question. But then Secretary of Agriculture Anson Tebbetts revealed on Twitter that his agency maintains a licensing system that tracks this sort of thing.

So VTDigger did what VTDigger does: We filed a public records request.

The data we obtained shows that roughly 400 Vermont establishments have active licenses to operate “frozen dessert” machines. That count, however, includes vendors who sling creemees, as well as those who dish out soft serve.

About a quarter of the licensees were chains such as McDonald’s, Cumberland Farms and Walmart. There were also some oddball spots, such as universities, movie theaters and hospital cafeterias.


Don't freak out but I had a Pistachio Creemee at the Brownsville Butcher and Pantry
And it was excellent!
