BENNINGTON, Vt. — Bromley Mountain's 22nd annual "Mom's Day Off" event on February 28 raised over $11,000 for breast care services at the Dartmouth Cancer Center at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC).

Bromley Mountain donated nearly $8,500 through the sale of discounted lift tickets. The Wild Boar Tavern at Bromley, operated by Sodexo, contributed over $2,500, representing approximately 50 percent of its food proceeds from that day. The total amount raised was $11,090.

Josh Witkin, President and General Manager of Bromley Mountain, presented the check to Thomas A. Dee, President and CEO of SVMC, at the Peru ski resort.

"We appreciate Bromley Mountain’s ongoing commitment to Mom’s Day Off," said Dee. "This program allows us to support patients and community members, well beyond the cutting-edge treatments available at our cancer center."

The funds will support breast care services at the Dartmouth Cancer Center at SVMC, which is part of Dartmouth Health and serves communities in Vermont, New York, and Massachusetts, including northern Berkshire County. SVMC includes the SVHC Foundation and multiple primary and specialty care practices

POWNAL, Vt. — A Cheshire, Mass., man is being charged with gross negligence in operation and leaving the scene of an accident after a crash Saturday night that heavily damaged at least four parked cars.

Demetrie S. Thompson, 24, was issued a citation to appear in Bennington County Court on Nov. 30.

According to State Police, it was reported that a vehicle had left the roadway at about 7:30 p.m. and rammed into multiple vehicles at OD Auto Sales and Service. The location was given as Cash Place, the road that runs behind the car dealership and parallel to Route 7.

It's not clear what Thompson was driving, but a pickup truck was upside-down with heavy damage to its front end near the end of the line of damaged cars, one of which had its top caved in. This can be seen in a video posted to Facebook.

State Police say Thompson fled the scene and was located at a nearby residence. The vehicles "sustained either moderate or totaled damage," according to police.

Trooper Emmanuel Baidoo's report says the weather and road conditions were clear.
