John Laniefsky, 53, a former taxi driver who has been homeless and living in a tent in White River Junction , Vt., since June, spoke to the Hartford Selectboard at their meeting Tuesday about the high numbers of people living outside in tents or cars. Laniefsky, who was able to secure a motel room for a week to avoid sleeping outside in cold temperatures, checked on his camp in White River Junction, Vt., Thursday evening, Nov. 21, 2019. Laniefsky panhandles to supplement his income from Social Security Disability and says he is grateful for all that has been given to him, including a warm, high visibility jacket that a paving worker handed him out of a truck window. "I don't want anyone to suffer and if I can help, I will," he said about his occassional practice of buying Kentucky Fried Chicken for others struggling to eat. "I don't feel anybody has the right to judge me but God." (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News. May not be reprinted or used online without permission.

An old, dying maple tree that stands Monday, Oct. 28, 2019, in a commuter parking lot off Interstate 91 in Ascutney, Vt. The land was once part of a farm belonging to Romaine Tenney, whose farm was seized in 1964 to make way for the interstate highway. Tenney burned his barn and his home, with him inside. The tree is going to be removed and the state of Vermont is now looking for a way to remember Tenney. (AP Photo/Wilson Ring)
