Guarding the border – a team effort E-mail

Reelin' in the Years

By Scott Wheeler

  As a chronicler of Northeast Kingdom history who happens to live in a border community, I have had the opportunity to interview a sizable number of people who grew up along the Vermont/Quebec border. For that matter my first book was called, “Rumrunners and Revenuers: Prohibition in Vermont.” The book captures stories of people who found themselves on different sides of the Prohibition law — 1920 and 1933 — when this country tried to ban alcohol.

While some of the teachings were not always spiritually correct, they reflected the general beliefs of my community.

Wednesday, 17 March 2010
By PAUL CILLO
  Montpelier should be trying to make the education tax system simpler and fairer.  Instead, in the haste to cut General Fund spending, Gov.
