Karlsfield, VT Community Paper Shredding Event - 2012

Volunteers were careful to separate the material brought to the Karlsfield, VT community paper shredding event very carefully.

Last Monday, more than 3,000 Karlsfield residents brought tons of credit card statements, pay stubs, investment paperwork and other documents with varying personal information on it to be shredded by the city.

Who did it really belong to? No one is sure, apparently.

Kevin Miles, City Manger for Karlsfield, located in northern Vermont, is mandating that all employees sign an “Anti-Bennington Pledge” declaring that they reject everyone and everything living in, near, or having any association whatsoever with Bennington.

Miles said that the goal “is not to offend Vermont citizens, though we really don’t know if you can call people in Bennington ‘citizens,’” but to “declare who we are as a thriving, progressive, open-minded town that loathes intolerance, unlike that hayseed-filled burg, Bennington.” Continue reading →

Karlsfield High School

Karlsfield High School football boosters wasted no time in the effort to court Jim Tressel.

Karlsfield, VT—It didn’t take five minutes for Karlsfield Senior High School Principal John Elmer to call his Athletic Director, Gip Hennessey, once he learned that Jim Tressel had resigned from The Ohio State University.
