6 days ago | vtcng.com | Briana Brady

Hinesburg held a free tire drop off as part of its Green Up Day efforts Saturday. Rep. Phil Pouech, D-Hinesburg, did much of the organizing. “We hoped allowing a free tire drop-off would reduce the number of tires that ‘appear’ on our roadways just days before Green Up. Picking up all those tires, spread around town roads, is a real challenge for volunteers who must pick them up and transport them to the town garage for disposal,” he said.

The pattern in the wood was one of the signs that tipped him and others off that emerald ash borer had infested the tree.

Tiny pantry, big heart: People keep shelves stocked

The Tiny Pantry in Shelburne started a few years ago when a local Boy Scout was looking for a project to complete his Eagle badge. Since then, however, the maintenance of the pantry has fallen into the community’s hands. While Shelburne has a higher per capita income than both Chittenden County and Vermont as a whole, according to Susan Grimes, one of the community members who helps manage the pantry, there are still pockets of need. Census data places the poverty rate between 7 and 8 percent.
