Monkton Resident Adrienne Raphael has long worked

Monkton Resident Adrienne Raphael has long worked to support communities overseas through her work in the international development sector. Her work has more recently shifted to her home community of Monkton, where she’s working to convert this garage at 216 Monkton Ridge into a general store and coffee shop space expected to open sometime this year.

“I’m just really excited,” Raphael said of the project. “Monkton is such a vibrant community; we have such a strong sense of place here like many communities.”

After a dozen years of publishing Vermont Sports M

After a dozen years of publishing Vermont Sports Magazine, Addison Press Inc. has sold the publication and its digital properties to Adirondack Sports & Fitness LLC of Clifton Park, N.Y.

Adirondack Sports & Fitness, owned by Darryl and Mona Caron, publishes Upstate Sports (formerly Adirondack Sports) magazine monthly, and hosts two large outdoor recreational sports and travel shows — the Summer Expo in March and the Winter Expo in October — in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The company has been around for 26 years.

“We’re happy Vermont Sports will continue to thrive under this new leadership,” said former owner and co-publisher Angelo Lynn. “It’s a good marriage to join the recreational activities of upstate New York with those of Vermont and New England.”
