Commentary | Don Keelan: Had I not read it, I would not have believed it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On September 5, 2026, the Bennington Banner ran a full-page ad supporting the repurposing of the former Southern Vermont College (SVC) into a five-star Orchards Resort. This ad was notable: 47 individuals placed it, framing themselves as neighbors and abutters to the planned project, and writing to âexpress our strong and unequivocal support for the proposed Orchards Resort.â In over 50 years of involvement in real estate projectsâresidential and commercialâI have never seen neighbors or
Commentary | Don Keelan: What a great time it's been for Bernie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In addition to his 85th Birthday earlier this week, Senator Bernie Sanders has much to celebrate. His deep involvement in transforming America into a Socialist country has gained traction in several congressional districts throughout the country.

If only 35 units are approved and construction started, will the project succeed, and if not, what debt will Dorset be obligated for? The Manchester Journalâs July 24, 2026, headline piece by Andrew McKeever, âRaptor Lane Survey Input Sought by Dorse
Commentary | Don Keelan: You gotta' know when to walk away (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Vermont has many nonprofit organizations and, at least for now, the volunteers/trustees to serve them. As of this past spring, there will be one less. To take a line from the singer Kenny Rogersâ popular ballad, âThe Gambler,â Jean Freebern of Arlington, Vermont, after decades of service, knew it was time to bring her service to an end. It was time to walk away. For now, the nonprofits that Jean served as a volunteer and trustee will manage to carry out their mission, but without her servi
