Bennington Leads Vermont State Aid Race in Vermont Education
The Bennington School District tops Vermont in announced state aid for education, while towns in Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union especially Shaftsbury and Arlington face declines. Supt. George Sleeman urges Miller Formula revision for fairer aid distribution due to the statewide equalized grand list’s reliance on sampled real estate appraisals. Bennington’s aid rises to 1,418,000 as Burlington drops near 1,359,000. Arlington and Shaftsbury fall sharply, with Pownal and North Bennington also down. Shaftsbury and Dorset join Vermont IDEA over aid concerns.

Good Humor Indicted Over Bacteria Laced Ice Cream
New York prosecutors charge Good Humor Corp with 244 counts for selling bacteria laden ice cream and keeping false records to mislead inspectors. Indictments name a company official and a former quality control head amid 122 felony falsifications and 122 misdemeanor adulterated food counts. If convicted, fines could total 1.281 million dollars. The case cites coliform levels far above legal limits and two sets of records, with some samples “too numerous to count.” Public officials warn high coliform signals unsanitary conditions and possible illness.
