My mom and I, last Saturday, went on Bay Road to pick up trash. We found about 10 pounds of garbage. Half of which were either cigarettes, cigarette packages (including deluxe packages), or bottles and cans of beer or sodas. We were reminded of when we have littered and what affects there are. - Kudos to town's maintenance crew - May. 10th, 2012 2:00 pm

Kudos to the many Shelburne residents who volunteered to clear the roadsides of trash." - report from montpelier - May. 10th, 2012 2:00 pm
The 2011 - 2012 legislative session adjourned early last Saturday evening. Despite the difficult issues we faced, I am proud of the work that has been accomplished.

Rick McGowan and his German Shepherd 'Pigeon' relax on the latest amenity at Shelburne Village Dog Park: a comfortable bench.

On principle alone, it's pretty tough to beat a birthday celebration dinner. Everyone is cheerful, on good behavior for the most part and even rather well dressed. That doesn't necessarily mean that the quality of the food and the spirit of the establishment will follow suit, unless Leunig's happens to be the destination. Last month it was, and it did. In honor of my dear friend Catherine Steven's birthday, she and her husband Brian joined Matt and me for a really sumptuous and festive dinner. - Spring Fest celebrates new season at Shelburne Museum - May. 10th, 2012 1:00 pm
