What to look for in this week's dead-tree edition of Seven Days...

• Yesterday, Kathryn Flagg wrote a post about the new "outdoor classroom" at Burlington's Sustainability Academy. This week she writes more about the school's new changes — both cosmetic and otherwise.
• The lawyer representing anti-abortion protesters in a lawsuit against Burlington's no-protest zone around reproductive health clinics has a history of litigating "buffer zone" cases around the country.
• More and more Progressives are running for office with both a "P" and a "D" next to their names. Are "fusion" candidates good for the future of the state's third party?
• This week in "Fair Game": The election ad blitz has begun, and it's led by conservative super PAC Vermonters First. Plus, Senate Democrats won't support David Zuckerman, Bernie makes waves in New Hampshire, and Jay Peak is set to announce more EB-5 funded projects.

One final note: Friends and family of former VTDigger.org reporter Alan Panebaker, who died in a kayaking accident last week, will hold a celebration of his life at Eagle Park in Bristol this Saturday at 2 p.m. Donations can be made in Panebaker’s name to American Whitewater, where he last worked, at P.O. Box 1540, Cullowhee, NC 28723.
