DAN BRETT OF Whiting drives his “Cautionary Tail” bike in Saturday’s Human-Powered Parade in Bristol. A couple dozen families with children and others interested in parading around the village on wheeled vehicles — all without internal-combustion engines — gathered at the Recreation Park at 10 a.m. and processed through town. Brett’s dinosaur-themed vehicle uses a little humor to remind viewers to take climate change seriously.

THIS PAST SATURDAY saw beautiful springtime weather across most of the Green Mountain State. That was a good thing, because it was Green Up Day, which for more than half a century has seen Vermonters come out and clean up roadsides and natural areas. Here, Dan Beaupre tosses a couple bags of trash he cleared from the Painter Road area to Chad Kim — a Middlebury College senior and the
town of Middlebury Green Up coordinator — on Green Up Day in Middlebury.

THE FAMILY OF Bristol’s Joe Devall, formerly the long-time CEO of Co-operative Insurance Companies and a current member of the breakfast klatch known as the Old Farts Club, decided to throw a party to celebrate his completion of 90 years on this Earth. They thought they’d invite a few people to the Bristol American Legion for an intimate affair, but Joe kept inviting more and more people. On this past Saturday around 70 came out to give their best wishes to Joe, to share some stories and to honor Joe for the work he’s done in the community. As it turns out, the actual date of the anniversary of Joe’s birth is today, May 11. Wish Joe a Happy Birthday when you see him.
