Hi All,
Well, the Saga of the Franklin County Edition and The Burlington Free Press continues. One nice thing about being retired and a Senior Citizen, you have the time to pursue and the crankiness to be aggravated, when you just can’t seem to get through to someone that there is a problem.
It all started a number of months ago when The Burlington Free Press announced that they were coming out with a weekly Franklin County Section to their newspaper. Well, to this day, I have never received it, except through the kindness on two occasions of a few friends that gave me a copy.
I am conservative, not cheap, and don’t intend to go down to The Steeple Market or Nan’s and pay $1.75 for a copy of the Franklin County Edition. By the way, Minor’s Country Store does not receive the Franklin County Edition either and I do believe they are in Fairfax/Franklin County.
I tried a new person this morning when I contacted the Free Press. His name is Kevin Shields and he actually lives in Jeffersonville. He told me that because over 90% of our Motor Carrier’s Route is in Lamoille County, it would require redesigning routes, but would be difficult as the Route apparently weaves in and out of Lamoille & Franklin County. He told me it would take a while to do, but took my name and address and told me he would put me on the mailing list to have it mailed to me until he can get it squared away.
Apparently automation can be a complicated thing and before he hung up, he told me he might just have that carrier deliver a Franklin County Edition to everyone on the Route, irregardless of whether they live in Franklin County or not.
If you are not getting The Franklin County Edition of The Burlington Free Press and want to receive it prior to them getting the carrier routes squared away, you can contact:
