“We came home yesterday to find that someone had jumped out 6-ft fence, kicked in two locked doors and stolen jewelry and watches. We are devastated, especially as one of the pieces was a family heirloom. Be safe and be on the lookout for any suspicious activity in the neighborhood!”

“On Thursday, my 9-month-old grandson tossed his favorite take-along toy out of the stroller in Mills River Park. It most likely was left on the trail to the off-leash area. It is a cloth, hot pink monkey holding a banana. It has a white plastic ring on it. I believe it is Lamaze brand. If anyone picked it up or knows its whereabouts, I’d be really glad to get it back.”

Was thinking of using the street in front of my house possibly to do a cookout for the entire development down past the elementary school as I call all of this my neighborhood! Everyone bring something to share and I’d of course break out the grill!”Posted on the Craftsbury FPF by Sterling College President, Matthew Derr:
The outpouring of support for Sterling and its students, following a number of incidents on campus this summer, that included vandalism and the theft of Black Lives Matters signs, has been appreciated.
Unfortunately, I write to report another serious incident that took place on the evening of Saturday, August 19 near the Common. A Sterling student was accosted with racial and homophobic slurs by passengers in a car who also threw an object at the student before speeding away. This incident was witnessed by a faculty member.
Faculty, staff, and students are supporting this student and Sterling is once again working closely with the Vermont State Police, who have determined that this incident qualifies as a hate crime.
To take a public stand against racism and injustice in our community, Sterling is organizing a solidarity vigil for Wednesday, September 14. Craftsbury residents are invited to join the Sterling community for dinner at 6:00 p.m., with the vigil to follow on Craftsbury Common.
Sterling will also offer a series of educational programs this fall on issues of inclusion, in collaboration with other community organizations. More details will follow on Front Porch Forum.
