U.S. SEN. BERNIE Sanders wants young people to get off their phones and get more exercise. That’s why he visited Vergennes Union Elementary School on Saturday for a basketball clinic, “Free Throws with Bernie,” one
of several he has held around Vermont. Dozens of kids from grade school to high school turned up to shoot baskets under the watchful eye of the senator and they all took a new basketball home with them.

Show of support
A stream of about 80 vehicles proceeds northbound on Route 22A through Orwell around 8 a.m. Friday morning in honor of David “Chris” Maland, a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was killed in the line of duty on Monday. The convoy included first response vehicles of many kinds, including fire trucks, as well as civilian vehicles. A rescue helicopter flew above the procession. This show of support came after a motorcade of around 200 vehicles escorted Maland’s body as it was moved from the Chief Medical Examiner’s office in Burlington to a funeral home on Thursday.
