The National Night Out Against Crime is tonight and in towns across Vermont and the rest of the country, neighbors will turn on porch lights, make noise, party and offer information to observe what they say they hope will be the end of drugs and crime. The Rutland Herald reports that Rutland's event, sponsored by Rutland's United Neighborhoods and the Rutland Police Department, runs from 4:30 to 8 p.m. This year's event is at White's Pool in the belief that a free swim and barbecue would prove a good draw. Organizer Lynn Walsh says the event features 28 booths from BROC to the Community Emergency Response Team to consumer credit counseling services. Children's activities include a magic show starting at 7:15 p.m. Walsh said Rutland will also host a National Guard helicopter, weather permitting.
