The paper's circulation fluctuates throughout the year, peaking during the summer tourism season on the islands.[3] The editor and owner is Tonya Poutry.[4] In its current iteration, the paper primarily offers readers a look into the minutiae of small-town life in the Champlain Valley. Stories promote local events, such as giant pumpkin contests and spaghetti dinners, honors acts of local philanthropy, raise awareness for community fundraisers and report on town hearings.[3] HistoryThe paper was founded in 1974 by Phil Gimli-Mead[5][2] as the first newspaper of the Champlain Islands.[6] Gimli-Mead, a 22-year old college dropout at the time, said that he wished to fill a gap, as there was a "lack of recognition" of Grand Isle as a county.[5] While Gimli-Mead had run for office unsuccessfully as a Democrat, he billed the new paper as strictly non-partisan: "[W]e're not a liberal, radical, or conservative paper. Those who read it can either do something about it or nothing about it."[5] George D. Fowler and his wife Elaine Sinclair-Fowler bought the paper in 1982.[7] The paper was sold in 2016 by owner George D. Fowler to Tonya Poutry, who had worked for the paper for 15 years.[8] As part of that change in ownership, the paper's headquarters moved to the second floor of a historic South Hero building, a general store called Hero's Welcome.[9] National coverageThe Islander made national news when it was the first to report Bernie Sanders's purchase of a third home, a lakeside weekend home in North Hero, which he purchased for $575K.[10][11] The story, which was lifted to national prominence by Vermont daily Seven Days, was picked up widely in the national media.[12] The Islander again made national news in 2018 when it reported on a Vermont farmer who sprayed manure on a U.S. Customs and Border Protection cruiser during the summer of 2017. The farmer told the Islander that he was unhappy with immigration enforcement efforts to curb illegal immigration, saying that the agency had not done enough to prevent undocumented immigrants from working on Vermont farms.[13] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.mondotimes.com/1/world/us/45/9039/25714|title=Lake Champlain Islander newspaper|last=|first=|date=|website=Mondo Times|access-date=16 October 2018}} 2. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn94057792/|title=The islander.|last=|first=|date=|work=Chronicling America: America's Historic Newspapers|access-date=16 October 2018|publisher=}} 3. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://www.vermontguides.com/2006/03-mar/islander.html|title=The Islander|last=|first=|date=|website=Vermont Guides|access-date=26 October 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=https://champlainislander.wordpress.com/about/|title=The Islander|last=|first=|date=|work=The Islander|access-date=26 October 2018|language=en-US}} 5. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24869011/islander_marks_journalism_debut/|title=Islander Marks Journalism Debut|last=Chamberlain|first=Edward|date=6 April 1974|work=The Burlington Free Press|access-date=}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.caledonianrecord.com/community/deaths/philip-gimli-mead---celebration-of-life/article_92c616bb-6fd6-5417-8a2d-d2674349abd3.html|title=Philip Gimli-mead - Celebration of Life|work=The Caledonian Record|access-date=2018-10-16|language=en}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24869348/islander_sold_to_new_yorker/|title=Islander Sold to New Yorker|last=|first=|date=5 September 1982|work=The Burlington Free Press|access-date=}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/lakechamplainislander/photos/a.430725948562/10154709550143563/?type=3&theater|title=The Islander|website=www.facebook.com|language=en|access-date=2018-10-16}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/looking-for-a-hero-a-champlain-islands-institution-is-for-sale/Content?oid=6475763|title=Looking for a Hero: A Champlain Islands Institution Is for Sale|last=Goldstein|first=Sasha|work=Seven Days|access-date=2018-10-16|language=en}} 10. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.lakechamplainislander.com/assets/islander080916.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170331130635/http://www.lakechamplainislander.com/assets/islander080916.pdf|dead-url=yes|archive-date=31 March 2017|title=Welcome Neighbors: Bernie and Jane Sanders|last=Donaghue|first=Mike|date=9 August 2016|work=Lake Champlain Islander|access-date=26 October 2018}} 11. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24582842/|title=Accusations of hypocrisy fly as Vermont senator and his wife purchase 3rd property -- a $575K weekend retreat for family|last=D'Ambrosio|first=Dan|date=13 August 2016|work=Burlington Free Press|access-date=16 October 2018|language=en}} 12. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/reliable-source/wp/2016/08/10/bernie-sanders-buys-a-half-million-dollar-vacation-home-and-the-internet-cries-hypocrisy/|title=Bernie Sanders buys a $575,000 vacation home and the Internet cries hypocrisy|last=Andrews-Dyer|first=Helena|date=10 August 2016|work=Washington Post|access-date=}} 13. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.foxnews.com/us/vermont-man-finally-admits-to-spraying-border-patrol-agents-car-with-manure|title=Vermont man finally admits to spraying Border Patrol agent's car with manure|date=2018-02-15|work=Fox News|access-date=2018-10-16|language=en-US}} External links
