The Obama era style plan to veto a public works bill faces House battle as Carter challenges 17 water projects valued near 3 billion dollars. Critics cite environmental harm and land loss to catfish farms, while supporters warn of political risk. Carter seeks veto backing from fiscally conservative Republicans and reform-minded Democrats.
Local editor notes $30 million in public works money under EDA grants. Shaftsbury garners nearly $900,000 in the second round plus $183,000 previously, Sunderland near $1 million after a smaller initial ask. Other towns with solid applications are left waiting as questions about criteria and census figures rise. A Montpelier meeting is set to address the disparity and future allocations. Fr. Mattison farewell acknowledged by The Banner.
A letter from Herbert W. Lorenz of Union Street urges printing Edward Everett Hale’s Flag Day quotation about loyalty to country.

A former Burr and Burton Seminary figure recalls 50 years of service and changes at the school, while a contrasting opinion column criticizes Andrew Young and Jimmy Carter for divisive remarks amid U.S. foreign policy debates. The piece juxtaposes local dedication with national political fault lines.
The piece argues President Carter should replace Andrew Young as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations or move him to a domestic role like HUD or HEW. It contends Young’s outspoken race and foreign policy comments harm U.S. diplomacy and racial progress, urging a position that yields concrete achievements over talk.
A letter from the Green Mountain Arts Collaborative thanks Bennington area supporters for the Children's Art Exhibition. Gratitude is given to Ed Greenberg of H Greenberg & Son, the Vermont Council on the Arts, and the state art agency, whose joint sponsorship made the show possible, though their names were omitted on last Saturday's page.
The Collaborative Bennington thanks participants for a joint art show. Judson Brown, now departed from The Banner, organized the picture page. The exhibition runs until Wednesday evening and many exhibitors learned they had been posted pictures by mail mix ups. About 200 artists lent works and schools contributed.
A reflective journal entry from Skylark on mowing and gardening at dawn of a season.
