Phone Scam-Warning for Seniors: According to Brattleboro Police, a senior
was contacted to make an appointment to have a medical alert system installed.
That senior argued the system was never ordered - and alleges that the person
on the other end of the phone said it must have come from a concerned loved
one. Police say the caller then pushed for an installation date and other
personal information. The department is reminding seniors when in doubt hang up
the phone. WCAX
Community Placement for VT Sex Offender on Hold: There has been considerable press and digital outreach in the
past few days about the release of a high-risk sex offender in Springfield. On
Thursday evening, this changed. A Vermont corrections official and the police chief in the town of
Springfield say plans to have a high-risk sex offender live in that community
on his release have been put on hold. Springfield Police Chief Doug Johnston
tells The Associated Press a relative who had offered housing to 53-year-old
Timothy Szad when he's released had rescinded that offer. Kris Goldstein,
treatment chief for the state program that treats sex offenders, says that
means release plans for Szad are uncertain. But she says he must be released as
scheduled on July 26 - a week from Friday - because he will have served his
sentence maximum. And Goldstein says Szad won't be subject to any supervision
by the Corrections Department after that date. WCAX

4. YANKEE CHANK TO PLAY IN PROCTORSVILLE
Note: This coming Wednesday, July 24, the
concert will be legendary blues guitarist Chris Kleeman.
The Town of Cavendish presents the next in a
continuing series of Wednesday evening concerts on July 31st at 6:00
p.m. when Yankee Chank will appear at the green in Proctorsville.
Yankee Chank is a Vermont group who perform
traditional Cajun music from the heart of southwest Louisiana. Why does a Vermont band play Cajun
music? Primarily because the
French-speaking people of eastern Canada, our immediate neighbor to the north,
was the inspiration for the southern Cajuns.
Yankee Chank has been performing both Cajun and
Zydeco music around Vermont and beyond, using fiddle, accordion, guitar and
bass since 1996. The band’s performances
offer a distinctive immersion into this unique regional music.
This concert is sponsored by The Inn at
Glimmerstone Mansion in Cavendish.
This is the fifth in a series of seven concerts
coordinated by the Cavendish Community and Conservation Association. All concerts are free and open to the
public. Bring a blanket or chairs and a
picnic dinner. Join with friends or make
new ones. Please help continue this
Wednesday evening tradition in Cavendish.
Everyone is welcome.
