Vermont’s Republican lieutenant governor primary puts party affiliation to the test
In the only competitive Republican primary for statewide office this year, former Rutland GOP chair Gregory Thayer is facing a former Democratic state legislator from the Northeast Kingdom, John Rodgers.
by Shaun Robinson
Gregory Thayer, one of the two candidates in this year’s Republican primary race for lieutenant governor, spent several days last week at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee — where, he said, he was excited to join other Vermont GOP leaders in helping to nominate Donald Trump for another bid to the White House.
Vermont’s RNC delegates said they found a national party there forged in the former president’s image. But back in Vermont, where Trump is not particularly popular, this year’s lieutenant governor primary may well be a litmus test for the state’s GOP.
That’s in part because Thayer’s opponent in the race, which is Vermont’s only competitive Republican primary for statewide office this year, is distancing himself from the man who’s set to be at the top of the GOP ticket in the general election.
“I would never vote for Trump,” John Rodgers said in a recent interview.

From ‘Verd Mont’ to Paris: Green Mountain athletes set for Olympics
Montgomery runner Elle Purrier St. Pierre, Burlington rugby player Ilona Maher and Norwich rower William Bender are ready to represent the United States at the 2024 Summer Games.by Kevin O'Connor
Vermonters are famous for skiing and snowboarding off with Winter Olympic medals. But three athletes with Green Mountain State ties are aiming to sprint, grand slam or speed their way into Summer Games history.
Montgomery runner Elle Purrier St. Pierre, Burlington rugby player Ilona Maher and Norwich rower William Bender are part of a more than 500-athlete team set to represent the United States in Paris starting Friday.
Although generations of Vermonters have won gold in the Winter Olympics, only about two dozen have even competed in the Summer Games — the most recognized being the 1912 long jumper Albert Gutterson, known for the namesake fieldhouse of his alma mater, the University of Vermont.
Purrier St. Pierre, a 29-year-old dairy farmer turned U.S. record holder for the indoor mile and two mile, is set to race the Olympics’ 1,500-meter event a year after the birth of her son.
“I feel like everything I do in my life right now is something that I really enjoy,” the two-time Olympian recently told Harper’s Bazaar. “I love being a mom, I love being a runner, and I love being a farmer.”

At a quiet Craftsbury pond, rowers become Olympians
Six Green Racing Project team members will make history for their Craftsbury-based program as they compete in rowing and sculling at the Paris Olympics starting Saturday.
by Emma Malinak
Hidden in the backroads of the Northeast Kingdom, rowers seem to effortlessly glide across Great Hosmer Pond as they slice through streams of cool wind, beams of blinding morning sun, and ripples of wakes left by other boats.
But for all the grace and power visible on the surface, thousands of calculations tumble in athletes’ minds at Craftsbury’s Green Racing Project rowing program, said Assistant Coach Hillary Saeger. Every muscle, joint and movement must be intricately coordinated for rowers to get the perfect stroke.
As she moves her boat to check in with each student in the water, she never leads with critiques — how elbows could be angled differently, how wrists could snap faster, how core muscles could be held tighter. Instead, her first question is always, “How did that feel to you?”
Because one of the most important skills a rower can have, Saeger said, is self-reflection.
That kind of awareness is what has propelled the program’s top athletes to move from their quiet Craftsbury pond to the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium in Paris without skipping a beat.
Six current rowers and scullers of the Green Racing Project, or GRP, are set to compete in the Olympic Games this week — a first in the program’s history.
Coaches interviewed by VTDigger said they’re more proud of the people their rowers have become than the technique and skill they have perfected over years of training.
“Here, we’re not just trying to create a good athlete. We want to build good people, who will go out in this world feeling confident in themselves even after they leave this career,” said Saeger.
The accomplishment of qualifying for the Olympics won’t distract the team from that mission, Lead Coach Steve Hap Whelpley wrote in an email to VTDigger from Paris.

Vermont’s delegation to next month’s Democratic National Convention has become the latest to rally around Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s presidential pick.
At a virtual meeting Monday night, the state’s pledged delegates voted unanimously to support Harris, the Vermont Democratic Party announced in a press release later that night. According to the party’s executive director, Jim Dandeneau, 14 of Vermont’s 16 pledged delegates attended the meeting and two others indicated their support for Harris by text message.
The vote came the day after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential election and endorsed his vice president to take his place atop the Democratic ticket. Biden had faced weeks of mounting pressure to exit the race after a heavily scrutinized debate performance in June raised questions anew about his age and ability to defeat the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump.
Since then, a parade of prominent Democrats — and state delegations from New Hampshire to Tennessee — have thrown their support behind Harris. Late Monday night, after Vermont’s delegates announced their preference, the Associated Press reported that Harris had locked down enough delegates to secure the nomination.

Vermont’s pledged Democratic delegates unanimously back Kamala Harris for president

Amid a flood of bad news, a 90-year-old Vermonter finds reason to sing
by Kevin O'Connor
When a Wellesley College senior named Barbara Solms arrived at this town’s namesake theater to act in summer stock 70 years ago, locals quickly fell smitten.
“Barbara, an attractive blonde,” the Rutland Herald wrote in July 1954, “played with poise, spontaneity and charm.”
“Charming and sincere” the Springfield Reporter seconded.
“Very lovely and tender,” Windsor’s Vermont Journal confirmed.
A month later, the 20-year-old up-and-comer starred alongside Sam Lloyd, a “versatile leading man” portraying an “unusual killer with some humor as well as blood curdling suspense,” according to the Herald.
The surprises weren’t confined to the script. The actress didn’t know she’d go on to marry her scene partner, move into a house across the road and act together in more than 30 years of Weston productions — occasionally alongside her husband’s brother Christopher Lloyd (of the “Back to the Future” movie trilogy) and son Sam Lloyd Jr. (of such television comedies as “Scrubs”).
“We used to take turns at intermission coming home to walk the dog,” she recently recalled. “It was magic, just magic.”

As Vermont loses its ash trees, towns race to stop the beetle that’s the culprit
The emerald ash borer, an invasive pest that kills ash trees, has been detected in 13 Vermont counties and is still spreading. But towns often don’t have the budget, or the guidance, to address it.
by Emma Malinak
Vermont’s environmental experts are imagining a future without ash trees — and that future isn’t far away.
It’s all because the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle from Asia, is destroying ash trees from the inside out. The beetles’ larvae burrow into and feed on inner layers of bark, damaging the system trees use to transport water and nutrients throughout their branches and leaves.
The beetles, commonly referred to as EAB, have been reported in 72 municipalities across 13 of Vermont’s 14 counties, according to the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation.
But the map of detections is on its way “from looking like Swiss cheese, with little pockets of infestations, to being completely covered,” said Elise Schadler, program manager for the department’s Vermont Urban and Community Forestry Program.
“Eventually there’s going to be no ash left, or at least very few. EAB isn’t going away,” Schadler said.
