Local man wanted on an in-state arrest warrant was apprehended
WEATHERSFIELD — A local man wanted on an in-state arrest warrant was apprehended Monday afternoon by the Windsor County Sheriff’s Department. Lieutenant Thomas Battista was performing a routine civil process service near Center Church Road at approximately 1:16 p.m. when he recognized Andrew D. Picknell, Jr., 40, of Baltimore, walking along the roadside.Battista, who had earlier assisted Vermont State Police in a related incident involving Picknell, activated his emergency lights and proceeded to make contact with the suspect.
Earlier that morning, Picknell had eluded state troopers attempting to arrest him, fleeing into the woods near the Amsden Gravel Pit. His escape prompted a brief search by law enforcement before he was later spotted and detained by Lt. Battista.
Following his arrest, Picknell was transported to the Vermont Superior Court-Windsor Criminal Division for arraignment.
The court has scheduled a hearing for June 25 at 2:30 p.m.
Picknell is currently being held at the Southern State Correctional Facility.

Bicycling Storyteller Comes to Weathersfield Saturday, July 13 at 6 PM
Davis and his wife, Andrea Walsh, met while doing human rights work in Guatemala in the 1990s. Immediately following that, they and three other friends did a three-week bicycle tour around New England raising funds for a human rights accompaniment in Guatemala. It was during his time working in refugee camps that Davis says he got his start as a storyteller, telling comic tales by candlelight. He has since broadened and refined his craft and has entertained audiences as far north as County Down, as far east as Paris, as far south as Bamako, and as far west as San Diego. Find out more about his work at www.andydavisstoryteller.com.
In Weathersfield, starting at 7:30 pm, he’ll be performing “a multi-layered story casserole” called “The Sweater.” “It weaves together my and Andrea’s love story, which began in Guatemala, with a story about the Yukon gold rush. Folded in are my time working in Vermont apple orchards, 19th century farm life, sled dogs, prodigious snows, and a smattering of Scottish folklore.”
Jo Radner, former president of both the National Storytelling Network and the American Folklore Society said about “The Sweater,” “Only Andy Davis could weave a story of such complexity and such sparkling novelty, wrapped in love, smelling like old sheep, and, finally, full of mystery. A delightful journey!”
Potluck at 6 pm, bring your own plates and utensils if possible; story at 7:30 pm at the Weathersfield Center Church. Cost: $8 for adults (no spare cash? come anyway), sliding scale for families $15-20.00
Rob O’Brien will be selling raffle tickets for a print of one of his most beautiful paintings. All funds raised for the evening go to the Guatemala Accompaniment Project.

Tuck's Rock Dojo Music Festival
Lake Morey Resort
Saturday was both, a concert and an adventure. I spent the day at Lake Morey Resort in Fairlee, Vermont photographing a ton of bands in celebration of 15 years of the Tuck's Rock Dojo.
According to their website:
For fifteen years, Tuck's Rock Dojo has dedicated itself to nurturing and empowering youth musicians in the Upper Valley.
Under Tuck's mentorship over 200 kids got to experience what it's like to be in a band that plays the songs they are passionate about. We have created performing opportunities for the bands on over 50 stages across the Upper Valley and beyond. The music lessons often turned into friendships and unforgettable adventures and we became a community that comes together year after year to jam and reconnect.
Check out some of the photos I took from the event.

Voting in Vermont 101: Seven Things to Know About Participating in the August 2024 Primary
By Cathy ResmerFirst time voting in Vermont? First time voting ever? Good news: This state makes it easy. Here are seven things you need to know to participate in the primary elections on August 13.
1. You have to register to vote.
Register online at olvr.vermont.gov, by calling 1-800-439-VOTE, by visiting your city or town clerk's office, by filling out a voter registration form anytime before primary Election Day, or at the polls. Check to see if you're already on the state's voter checklist by entering your name and birth date at olvr.vermont.gov.
2. You don't have to live here for a certain amount of time before you're eligible.
As long as you're a U.S. citizen, age 18 or older, claim Vermont as your primary residence, and take the voter's oath, you're good to go. To prove your residency, you'll need a passport, Vermont driver's license or other government document showing your address; you can also use a utility bill or bank statement.
3. If you’re 17, you can vote in this primary election ...
... provided you turn 18 by the November 5 general election. An early birthday present!
4. There are three primaries on August 13, but you can only vote in one.
On primary Election Day, the Republican, Democratic and Progressive parties will pick their candidates for the general election on November 5. You can only vote in one party's primary, but you can wait until you're at the polls to decide which of three ballots to choose.
5. You can vote early — in person or by mail — for any reason.
Just stop by your city or town clerk's office and request a ballot during business hours anytime between now and closing time on the last business day before the election. You can fill it out on the spot and turn it in. All voters on the checklist will receive a mail-in ballot for the general election, but not for the primary.
6. Convicted felons and current inmates can vote in the Green Mountain State.
If Donald Trump and Hunter Biden claimed Vermont residency, they could vote here!
7. If you're sick or disabled, you can request at-home ballot delivery.
Contact your city or town clerk before closing time on the last business day before the election. On Election Day, two local justices of the peace will drop by with a ballot. When you’ve filled it out, they'll bring it back to the polls.

Vermont GOP votes to back Trump, waiving rule against supporting candidates convicted of felonies
The Vermont Republican Party’s executive committee conducted its vote this week in a closed-door meeting, despite saying earlier this month that it would hold off until after the Republican National Convention in July.By Sarah Mearhoff
The Vermont Republican Party is standing by former President Donald Trump.
According to a Thursday evening press release from the party, its executive committee on Wednesday night voted by “a narrow margin” to excuse Trump from a state party rule that prohibits it from supporting candidates who have been convicted of a felony.
As written in the party’s bylaws, the Vermont GOP “will not support or promote any candidate for elective office who … is a convicted felon.”
A subsection of the rule allows the party’s 14-member executive committee, by majority vote, to exempt a specific candidate from the prohibition under undefined “extenuating circumstances.”
According to Vermont Republican Party Chair Paul Dame, committee members voted during a closed-door, executive meeting held over Zoom Wednesday night. In an interview Friday afternoon, Dame declined to tell VTDigger the breakdown of the roll call.
Southern Vermont swift-water rescue team honored for flood response
For the knotty, high-risk rescue of a man stranded in Ludlow during last summer’s floods, Rescue Inc. was recognized at an international conference last week.
By Graham Krewinghaus
Last week, the roads from Londonderry to Ludlow were calm and clear. It’s less than half an hour’s drive on Route 100 between the towns. But last summer, amid record flooding, Drew Hazelton and his team were told the route was entirely unnavigable.
“You can’t get to Ludlow from here,’ Hazelton, Rescue Inc. chief of operations, recalled hearing repeatedly when he and his team asked locals for rides on July 10, 2023 along that route. His team was responding to a call about a stranded trucker in Ludlow, but so much of the road had flooded that they had to leave their truck behind and wade, swim and hitchhike the last nine miles.
“Well, we finally stopped asking the question, and we said, ‘can you get us closer to Ludlow?'” Hazelton said. “‘I understand we can’t get to Ludlow, but can you get us closer?'”
For their dramatic rescue of the trucker — part of a multi-agency, multi-day response to the flooding emergency that devastated Vermont last summer — his team was awarded last week with an international award.
The Higgins and Langley Incident Award is regarded as the most prestigious in swift-water rescuing, honoring “a specific water rescue, recovery operation, or prolonged mission that clearly demonstrates outstanding training, skill and preparedness in a swiftwater or flood rescue,” according to the Higgins and Langley Memorial Awards website.
Hazelton said his team, one of two Rescue Inc. swift-water teams on duty responding to the summer 2023 flooding, was working at the time with a number of other Vermont swift-water rescue teams, and several that were brought in from other states for the emergency.
Hazelton recalled the July 10 rescue from Rescue Inc.’s Brattleboro station last Friday, pointing out all of the trucks, boats and heavy equipment that they were ultimately not able to bring with them to Ludlow.
