A man is on the run in northern Vermont and a cashier needs a new pair of boxers as a Swanton Sunoco was robbed at gunpoint December 6 in the early morning hours.
The assailant, a white male close to six feet tall, ran on foot from the crime scene with cash and prizes from the store with no injuries reported.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Vermont State Police in St. Albans at 802-524-5993 or the Franklin County Sheriff's Office at 802-524-2121.

Who's hunting who?
There was yet again another hunting accident in northern Vermont this fall.
The investigation into the hunting accident began October 20, 2011 where Conrad Masse, 76, Craftsbury, and Wayne Goff, 58, Wolcott were hunting bear with hounds together.
Despite the use of GPS and radio telemetry, the hunters took part in dangerous antics as they set up along the road to track the bear. As it turned out, the bear crossed the road right between the two hunters.
And that is when things went wrong.
Masse unleashed his .30-06 rifle and fired a minimum of three shots; one hit a tree, one hit the bear, and one hit Goff in his midsection in the pelvic area. Goff was transported to North Country Hospital and then transported to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center where he has been released in stable condition.
Masse was issued a court date to appear February 28, 2012 on an aggravated assault charge. On top of the charge, he was issued tickets for shooting from the road, having a loaded rifle in his vehicle, and not properly displaying his hunting permits.
I don't know who I would rather be in this situation, Masse or Goff.

Blog Critique
My favorite writer is ESPN sportswriter Rick Reilly. I've been an avid follower of Reilly ever since I was old enough to read the final column of Sports Illustrated Magazine, where Reilly's column was always there. I follow him on Facebook and Twitter, and every day his material makes me laugh and think. His blog is very similar and it is some of the most provocative and thoughtful words in the sports world.
'Go Fish' is Reilly's blog, and lately it has had a lot of talk about Tim Tebow and the hype that he has brought into the league. His blog is updated almost daily (at the minimum weekly) and there are thousands of comments and reader interactions with every post. Reilly even started out one of his most recent posts about the thousands of comments and positive/negative responses. Reilly uses a lot of advertising in his blog with ESPN and the NBA because the readers that follow him are just as sports-inclined as he is.
I really like his posts because I agree with a lot of his ideas in sports, but the main reason is that the way he writes gets me to laugh and put myself in place of his characters and subjects of his writing. I almost feel like a celebrity when I read his material; its like I am put into the global world of fame and fortune through the superstars of the sporting world.
