GOV. PHIL SCOTT strides into the Vermont House to give his Inaugural Address this past Thursday.

By JOHN FLOWERS MONTPELIER — Addison County lawmakers are largely on the same page with Gov. Phil’s Scott’s stated goals of making Vermont cleaner, more affordable and more populated during the next two years and beyond.

But they want more details from Scott on how he plans to achieve his ambitious objectives — without raising taxes on Vermonters.

“As a budget person, I believe the proof is in the budget proposal we’ll see in a couple of weeks,” newly elected Sen. Ruth Hardy said. “I’d like to see the details and how he plans to finance these things and collaborate with us.”

Scott on Thursday laid out his priorities for the 2019-2020 biennium to a General Assembly dominated by Democrats who, with help from Progressives and independents, now have a vetoproof majority. The Republican governor has used his veto powers on the two past state budget proposals, and now, more than ever, needs to work cooperatively with the legislative branch.

“I really appreciate the idea of finding common ground,” said newly elected Rep. Caleb Elder, D-Starksboro. “It’s nice to hear from our governor a real interest in collaboration, understanding where (See Scott, Page 15)

Police and VUHS assess how safety procedures worked during gun threat

By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel said late last week the student who made a verbal threat to shoot a gun at Vergennes Union High School had not yet been cited for a crime.

Nor, Merkel said, was it absolutely certain the student would be charged after an investigation determined the threat “was not real,” according to a Vergennes Police Department press release last week.

Merkel said he would be meeting with the investigating officer on Friday and planned to speak with State’s Attorney Dennis Wygmans later that day about the case after the deadline for this edition of the newspaper.

“Right now we have nothing. It’s still in the process,” Merkel said on Thursday.

By SARAH ASCH MONTPELIER — While many Vermont state senators began last Wednesday in their cars, battling a snowstorm on the way from their districts, East Middlebury Democrat Ruth Hardy strapped snow spikes onto her shoes and walked to the Statehouse.

Hardy, Addison County’s newest state senator, stayed the night before her swearing-in at her newly rented room in Montpelier and reported early for her first day on the job.

Hardy was elected Nov. 6 in a landslide victory alongside fellow Democrat and incumbent Sen. Christopher Bray. She said many of her policy priorities remain the same as they were in November.

These include enacting a $15-perhour minimum wage and paid (See Hardy, Page 14)

Lawmakers learn committee assignments Sheldon to chair Natural Resources

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — Addison County lawmakers are well positioned in the state Legislature to make a big impact on cleanup of the state’s waterways, the building of its budget, and efforts to improve the way its education system is run and financed.

Area legislators secured seats at the table on those major issues last week, when House and Senate leaders announced membership of the committees that will do the grunt work on the many bills that will compete to end up on Gov. Phil Scott’s desk before the 2019 session concludes.

Addison County lawmakers will literally be in the driver’s seat for the next two years on environmental issues. Sen. Chris Bray, D-New Haven, returns this year as chairman of Senate Natural Resources & Energy.

And Rep. Amy Sheldon, D-Middlebury, landed a plum leadership assignment — chairmanship of the House Natural Resources, Fish & Wildlife Committee. That panel will

Addison County lawmakers’ 2019-2020 committee assignments:

• Rep. Matt Birong, D-Vergennes, General, Housing and Military Affairs.

• Sen. Chris Bray, D-New Haven, Senate Natural Resources & Energy (chair), and Government Operations.

• Rep. Peter Conlon, D-Cornwall, Education.

• Rep. Mari Cordes, D-Lincoln, Health Care.

• Rep. Caleb Elder, D-Starksboro, Education.

• Sen. Ruth Hardy, D-Middlebury, Senate Education, and Agriculture.

• Rep. Diane Lanpher, D-Vergennes, Appropriations.

• Rep. Robin Scheu, D-Middlebury, Ways & Means.

• Rep. Amy Sheldon, D-Middlebury, Natural Resources, Fish & Wildlife. (chair).

• Rep. Harvey Smith, R-New Haven, Natural Resources, Fish & Energy. work on two priorities Gov. Phil Scott laid out in his inaugural address (see related story on Page 1): devising a way to pay for cleanup of the state’s waterways, and updating Act 250, Vermont’s 50-year-old land use planning law.

“I’m excited,” said Sheldon, a natural resource planner by trade who spent the prior two years on the Commerce & Economic Development Committee.

Having spent several months

leading a legislative Act 250 study committee, Sheldon will be in a great position to share the panel’s findings and recommendations with her colleagues on Natural Resources. A bill containing some of those Act 250 recommendations is being finalized.

She’s joined on the committee this year by Rep. Harvey Smith, R-New Haven, a former longtime member of the Agriculture & Forestry Committee.

Smith, a farmer, is pleased to join the panel. He became familiar with water quality issues as a member of House Agriculture, which has heard plenty of testimony from farmers on agricultural runoff into Lake Champlain.

He’s also excited to have a chance to revise Act 250.

“I think it’s going to be a good experience for me, and I’m looking forward to it,” he said.

The county has one member on that Ag panel this year: Rep. Terry Norris, I-Shoreham.

But the county will also have a voice for farmers at the Senate level.

Newly elected Sen. Ruth Hardy, D-Middlebury, will serve on the Senate Agriculture and Education Committees.

Hardy said she’s happy with her assignments. As a former chairperson of the Mary Hogan Elementary School board and member of the Addison Central School District board, she’s already built a solid base of knowledge on education issues “(Education) is an area I know a lot about, and (agriculture) is something I’m excited to learn a lot more about,” Hardy said. “Obviously, (See Assignments, Page 3)

Waltham plan envisions city sewer service

By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — Vergennes City Council members made no comment this past Tuesday evening when City Manager Matt Chabot said he had met with the Waltham Planning Commission to discuss a zoning change in Waltham that would require city sewer service to meet its long-range goals.

But Vergennes Planning Commission Chairman Shannon Haggett said at the meeting that city planners are supportive of Waltham planners’ idea of creating a new high-density district on Maple Street on the city line, while at the same time adding incentives to persuade developers to

build affordable housing.

Haggett said city planners agree the area just outside Vergennes is a logical place for Waltham to concentrate homes and thus preserve open and forested land.

“They’re moving in the right direction,” he said. “That’s the best area to develop.”

The land is currently zoned with a 10-acre lot size minimum, and Waltham’s planners are considering allowing lots of smaller than an acre and offering developers the chance to add even more homes or units per acre if some are affordable.

Realistically the higher housing density in that area needed to sup-

port affordable housing could only be achieved by an extension of the city sewer line.

City sewer already serves the McKnight Lane affordable housing project in Waltham on the city line.

But that project was built on the site of a trailer park that had grandfathered sewer service. A further extension of city sewer would require a new vote of at least the council and possibly residents.

Waltham planners had asked City Manager Chabot to meet with them in mid-December to have a preliminary conversation, during which Chabot said solving the sewer system’s overflow problem might

have to come before an extension.

Chabot described that meeting to the council as informational only and said he told Waltham officials he was not in a position to make any representation of the city’s intent.

They and Chabot also discussed that Vergennes might have to solve its stormwater infiltration problem before adding users from outside the city to the system.

Waltham planners hope to have a zoning amendment proposal ready by late spring for residents and the town selectboard to consider. It will also include extra protections for forested areas around Buck Mountain.

Vergennes will reopen stump dump

By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — Vergennes residents after many years will have a more convenient way to dispose of some of their yard and other wood waste by later this spring.

City Manager Matt Chabot announced at Tuesday’s city council meeting that he has received an Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) permit to re-open the city’s long-closed “stump dump,” which lies past the city’s Canal Street wastewater treatment plant.

Per the permit, area residents may drop off “natural wood” only, as defined in the permit as “logs, poles, trunks, branches, limbs, and stumps, lumber including timber, logs or slabs,” and pallets if they are not “chemically treated.”

Addison County Solid Waste Management District Manager Teri Kuczynski said the definition does not include leaves. A separate section of the permit that lists permissible open burning does name “on-premise burning of leaves, brush, deadwood, or tree cuttings” as legal if conducted by a property owner as routine maintenance.

According to Kuczynski the ANR insisted that the stump dump be closed between March 2002 and March 2003 due to infiltration of too much illegal waste.

Chabot said before the stump dump re-opens the huge pile of existing waste must be burned off in small batches. Natural wood waste dropped off in the future will be burned off in a similar manner. The ANR permit is essentially a burn permit that requires a local fire marshal to supervise burning what the agency recommends should be small piles, thus allowing illegal materials to be more easily sorted out.

The opening timetable will depend on when burning off the existing waste can start and how long it takes.

“The only outstanding issue now is how to knock back the existing material that is down there judiciously, and how quickly I can accomplish that will determine how quickly I can open the dump to the public,” Chabot said.

When the stump dump opens it will be supervised to prevent the discarding of items that don’t meet the natural wood definition.

Days and hours of operation also remain to be determined.

Chabot said the dump could be opened more frequently early on to handle what he expects to be pent-up demand, but could back down to a monthly basis afterward. Nor has he determined who will supervise it.

“It’s too early in the process,” he said.

Editorial Grateful for state’s politics?

As political partisanship reaches an all-time high in the country (recent studies show the nation’s two major political parties have never been further apart in terms of their priorities and ideology), Vermont’s political leaders offered a different scenario on the opening days of this biennium.

In Gov. Phil Scott’s Inaugural Address on Thursday, he said the “national political environment (has) brought out the worst in the public process” as “too many value political points over policy solutions.” He noted that “social media still overflows with negativity and hate, and politics as a whole still seems to divide us more than it brings us together,” but that he “truly believes that in Vermont, we can set a standard that others across the nation can aspire to… as a better way… to go about the work of the people.”

In her address to House members the day before, House Speaker Mitzy Johnson noted that Vermont’s “human-scaled and accessible democracy is a shining feature of our brave state. No matter your party, or Independent status, we are all here because we want Vermonters to succeed.” She then turned to Minority leaders Pattie McCoy and Robin Chesnut-Tangerman to congratulate them on their leadership roles, and pledge to value their perspectives, even as their minority role is diminished. “You have a vital role in bringing a range of perspectives to the table and I am committed to working et to make sure all voices are heard. We cannot lead this state without you.”

Cynics may dismiss these early season overtures of cooperation and mutual respect as overly optimistic and naïve and predict partisan battles.

But that misses a crucial point: You can disagree in politics without being disrespectful. You can focus on policy differences without it becoming personal. Vermont has that ability.

Just verbalizing that everyone in the room wants Vermonters to be successful, and accepting that premise, has everyone pursuing a similar mission. How we accomplish that is then a matter of framing policy initiatives.

That’s not as easy as it sounds, and is at the root of political differences, but at least we’re not starting — as is true on the national level — from a position of demonizing the opposing party as evil, incredibly stupid, fascist or anti-American.

Remember that and be grateful — as we tackle the thorny issues of the upcoming session — we live in Vermont.

Troubling demographics In Gov. Phil Scott’s Inaugural Address this past Thursday he again emphasized the troubling demographic trend facing the state: a decline of youth and in our workforce.

Since 2009, he noted, the state’s workforce declined by 15,000. Since peak employment, Washington and Franklin Counties have seen a labor force decline of 2 percent; Addison and Orange Counties saw a 5 percent drop; Grand Isle and Orleans lost 6 percent, while Bennington, Lamoille and Windham counties witnessed a 10 percent reduction; Windsor 12 percent; Caledonia, 13 percent; Rutland, 14 percent and Essex County almost 20 percent.

That’s troubling enough, but the decline in school populations — particularly for Addison County — is even more worrisome. Statewide, we are educating about 30,000 fewer K-12 students than we were in 1997. Every county in the state has seen a decline. In the past 15 years, since 2004, Franklin County’s enrollment has shrunk the least at 3.5 percent, while Chittenden, Lamoille and Orange counties have seen declines of 12 percent. Enrollment declined 16 percent in Caledonia County, 17 percent in Orleans, 19 percent in Washington, 21 percent in Bennington and Grand Isle, and 23 percent in Windham. Three counties — Addison, Rutland and Windsor — have seen a drop of 25 percent of student enrollment since 2004.

The consolidation of dairy farming is no doubt one of the reasons affecting the decline in Addison County (as the number of farm families tumble), but we’ve also seen some manufacturing jobs leave without being replaced, as well as lost jobs in retail. Regardless of the reason, one of the goals of this upcoming biennium for Addison County legislators is to understand these demographic trends, hold communities forums, and to offer solutions that stem the tide and make our communities stronger.

Letters to the Editor Facebook posts on MUMS case were ‘intemperate’ I note the article “Man in MUMS Case Seeks Return of Guns” in the Jan. 10 issue of your fine paper and the intemperate, and to me, unbelievable comments on the Middlebury Police Department Facebook page by critics of the department’s action.

One need only look at Ainsleigh Johnson’s heart-rending letter to the editor in the same issue to see

the impact that school shootings have already had on our young people. We can all be grateful that the quick action by a concerned student and the quick reaction by our police department averted a local tragedy.

It is likely that the gun owner was inconvenienced by the removal of his guns but he should be grateful that his guns were

removed as a safety precaution.

How can anyone compare this inconvenience with the lives of MUMS students!

I support Chief Hanley’s action and hope that others will speak out via Facebook and in person to let him know that we support his decision.

Mary Hogan 5th-grade students speak out on environmental issues Students in Nora O’Leary’s 5th grade class at Mary Hogan Elementary School sent these letters to the Middlebury selectboard and the Addison Independent. These letters are part of the actions they decided to take after finishing a unit on environmental issues.

We are two fifth graders at Mary Hogan Elementary. We have been learning about finite resources, global warming and the greenhouse effect. We are very concerned about the use of plastic bags in stores, because it kills animals. If plastic bags go into a landfill, when it rains the poison from the bags may go into groundwater or rivers. If animals drink that water, they may get poisoned and die. Also if trash gets dumped into the ocean it may go into many places like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The plastic breaks down into tiny poisonous particles. Animals like sea turtles may eat the particles, thinking it’s food. Don’t poison animals!

We support the Keep Middlebury Beautiful petition to ban plastic bags in Middlebury.

Isabella Vukoder and Calliope Rees We have written this letter to tell you about how plastic is damaging our planet. Plastic materials are cheap to make and cheap to buy so many businesses are using them. There are giant patches of trash and plastic in the oceans. An example is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Also, the sea animals think that it is food and when they eat it they feel full, but they are not, and they sadly starve to death. When you don’t recycle, the plastic in the trash goes into landfills. When it rains, the plastic and water make a chemical reaction and make toxic waste that seeps into the groundwater and then into lakes and rivers. Then our drinking water becomes contaminated.

This is why we think plastic bags should be banned.

Ethan Mulcahy and Brayden McKee

I am a student at Mary Hogan school. I am in 5th grade. My name is Navah Glikman. Recently, we have been learning about matter and how it is finite. We also learned about global warming, the greenhouse effect, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

When plastic gets into the ocean, it breaks down and fish or turtles think it’s food. The plastic ends up poisoning them and they die.

Also little things like not recycling can mean plastic can go into landfills and the plastic leaks into groundwater. That goes into rivers and the things that drink that river water die.

Amy McAnich from Keep Middlebury Beautiful is getting people to put a ban on single use plastic bags. Fifty-five Massachusetts towns have already done this, so it is possible. I am writing this to ask for your support for the petition against plastic bags because with your support we can keep Middlebury beautiful.

Navah Glikman I am a student at Mary Hogan and my class and I have an idea to help the environment. A lot of people use plastic bags at grocery stores … but some are not reusable.

But cloth grocery bags or paper bags are reusable. I think we (“we” as the town) could go and advertise reusable bags because most of the plastic bags go to dumps and a lot of it will go to the oceans and pollute the oceans.

The plastic will dissolve, and leftover particles of the plastic will be eaten by animals and then they will sadly die. Not only does this hurt the environment, it will and can trap the animals in the plastic. The ocean will eventually create a big “pool” of garbage and this plastic can also end up on our dinner plate(s).

The Keep Middlebury Beautiful Organization has written a ban against plastic bags. We hope you support us.

Letters to the Editor Sidewalk comes at the cost of trees You can notice a row of ugly stumps on your left as you leave Middlebury via the Pulp Mill Bridge.

These were a row of 60 foot trees. In 1997 there was a sidewalk planned to link Seymour Street with Weybridge Street. At that time the plan called to leave the trees standing. That plan went broke.

The plan is revived, and the trees were destroyed about a year ago.

More trees are scheduled to go down this spring.

Many people who might enjoy the sidewalk see themselves as green. Does that only apply to their backyards?

Great Pacific Garbage Patch. You can see it at oceanservice.noaa.gov/ facts/garbagepatch.html Hi! Our names are Spencer and Mason. We are in 5th grade and we are writing to you about how we think you should keep going on your idea on getting rid of plastic bags. We would love to help with the plastic bags. We think plastic bags have to stop.

We think that plastic bags should be switched with paper bags that are reusable all over Middlebury.

We can make flyers to support all over Middlebury and the store should be stocked up with more reusable bags. We can tell other people about it, like our parents.

We could donate money so the stores can buy more reusable bags and make them cheaper.

We should come up with a charity for stores to buy paper and reusable bags. Paper bags should be free just like plastic bags are free for the people.

Paper you can burn, unlike plastic. There should be a place somewhere in Middlebury like the dump.

When you burn plastic, it releases dioxins, which can harm humans. If you only have to give out reusable bags once, it might actually save businesses money because then they wouldn’t have to give out plastic ones every time. By now the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is as big Texas times two. And it needs to stop.

It can mess up the food chain because if fish start eating this stuff then they will start to die out. Then other consumers will not get to eat because all of the other fish already died. Then the consumers will then die of hunger. Then the decomposers can not eat because the animals will have no fat then they will have to eat more dead animals to survive. Even if they aren’t sea animals. Garbage can still get around their necks or they can just plain eat it. That is why we think that we should switch to reusable and paper bags.

Podcast taps Vt. stories

DAVID CLAYTON CYR

MIDDLEBURY — Last week the Vermont Folklife Center joined the podcasting world when it released “VT Untapped,” a podcast that combines archival material and content from the center’s ongoing ethnographic research to tell unique stories about Vermonters from all walks of life.

Hosted by VFC staffer and audio producer Mary Wesley and edited by staffer Erica Furgiuele, VT Untapped reveals a broad spectrum of perspectives on everyday life in the Green Mountain State, ranging from the world of a Putney drag queen troop to a lifelong hunter’s unlikely friendship to traditional music in Vermont’s Bhutanese-Nepali community.

“The Folklife Center’s mission is to document, sustain, and share the diverse cultures of Vermont,” says Executive Director Kathleen Haughey. “VT Untapped provides

the ideal platform for us to share the experiences of Vermonters whose lives and stories we have documented over the past 35 years.”

Haughey believes the podcast will bring the work of the Folklife Center to a broader audience and foster greater understanding among the state’s residents.

“Archives serve a vital purpose, but accessing their content can sometimes be challenging,” says Andy Kolovos, the center’s Director of Archives and Research. “Through our podcast, we’re bringing these recordings out of the archive and into the world.”

The podcast is available for download on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, Spotify, TuneIn, and VFC’s website. Listen to the first two episodes at vtfolklife.org/untapped.

Going forward, new episodes will be released monthly.

“Whenever someone makes “We are extremely grateful a threat like that we take it for the efficient and thorough very seriously. People need to investigation conducted by the

Vergennes Police Department. We have worked closely over the past two days to gather information and determine next steps in regard to student safety,” Soule wrote.

“With their support we were able to determinate that there was no immediate threat to student safety and feel confident in our decision to return to school and provide the comfort and familiarity that comes from routine, and try to reassure students and staff as best we can.”

Soule said she could not comment on any internal discipline or counseling the student is receiving or might receive.

“I cannot share any of the details regarding the ongoing follow up with the student due to Federal Privacy Laws — this includes providing any sort of specificity about consequences, return dates, or other student-specific information,” she wrote, adding, “There are policies and procedures in place that allow us to impose appropriate discipline for any violations of behavioral expectations.”

Soule said ANWSD administrators and police agree that no new security measures are needed, especially in light of the many new security fixtures paid for by the bond approved in March

by ANWSD residents and recent and ongoing training conducted at ANWSD schools.

“The upgrades to our facilities include new security cameras and door locking systems that allow us to monitor and control building access remotely. All these features are supportive of our efforts as

we continue to prioritize student safety,” Soule wrote.

“Currently in our schools we are focused on providing additional training for our staff which included a ‘safety mindset’ training last fall and will continue with ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) trainings in February and later again in spring. These are in addition to regular drills conducted at each of our schools to prepare for school crises, and regular meetings with our school and district safety teams. This will continue to be a priority for some time.”

Merkel said he would conduct an overview, as is called for in the wake of an incident such as this.

“We’ve worked with the school, talked to them pretty consistently about safety measures,” Merkel said. “In this particular circumstance I think we did what we were supposed to do, and I think it went well. But that’s this circumstance. No circumstance is the same.”

And he praised the student for stepping forward, something that also proved to be critical in cases at Middlebury Union Middle School in December and at Fair Haven Union High School this past February.

“The other thing I would mention is again, as we’ve been saying all along, the old adage is if you see something or hear something, you say something,” Merkel said. “In this case that happened, and it worked well.”

BRANDON MUSIC PRESENTS THE LAST TRAIN TO ZINKOV The Last Train to Zinkov (David and Nathan Gusakov) will be coming to Brandon Music on Saturday, Jan.

LAST TRAIN TO Zinkov bring their heartfelt folk to Brandon Music, 62 Country Club Rd. in Brandon, on Saturday, Jan. 19, at 7:30 p.m.

19, at 7:30 p.m.

This father and son duo play original songs and old tunes about the beauty and peace of home, of delight and sadness, and the wild human emotions inherent in living and dying. Featuring clawhammer banjo, wicked fiddling, and family harmonies, the Gusakovs are creating some of today’s most unique and compelling folk music.

The Gusakovs have been gaining recognition as they expand their performance reach throughout New England. Heidi Fram at Byfield (Massachusetts) Community Arts Center said “Last Train to Zinkov fills your soul with heartfelt melodies that linger long ... This is truly what folk music is supposed to be, reminding you that good people and good music can change your life.”

At Brandon Music, the duo will perform songs from their latest album, “Regenerations,” and several new tunes recently added to their repertoire, including a dynamic opening number, “Chosen Kale Mazeltov,” a rousing wedding song that will start the night off right.

With violin, viola, banjo and vocals, Last Train to Zinkov plays with a lively, toe-tapping touch, sing with mournful sensitivity, and exhibit a creative chemistry that can only be born of a lifetime relationship. Their original songs and compositions reflect their love of Appalachian old-time music, gypsy jazz, swing, classical and their own Eastern European roots.

David Gusakov arrived in Vermont in 1973, joining the Vermont Symphony that year and bluegrass/ swing band Pine Island the next.

In the intervening 42 years he has been a full-time musician, playing with such groups as the Midnite Plowboys, Redwing, Swing Shift, Will Patton Ensemble, Swing Noire and Michele Choiniere. At home in a wide variety of genres, he brings improvisatory flare and depth of feeling to everything he plays.

‘Beyond #MeToo’ conference to examine sexual violence globally MIDDLEBURY — The stories of sexual violence survivors have become increasingly recognized on the world stage; indeed, sexual violence transcends cultural, religious, racial, class, and national identities, making it an epidemic of global proportions.

Middlebury College’s Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs’ annual student-organized conference, “Beyond #MeToo: Global Responses to Sexual Violence in an Age of Reckoning,” will be held at the college Jan. 22–24. The conference will push beyond the U.S.-centric conception of #MeToo and responses to sexual violence to inform participants about the wide ranging and diverse tactics that

activists are using around the world to combat sexual assault. Experts from the greater New England area will analyze what the New York Times deems the “global reckoning over sexual violence.”

Middlebury College students Grace Vedock and Taite Shomo designed the conference to tackle questions such as: How do states protect or fail to protect victims of sexual assault? How do different areas of the world respond to sexual assault? How can global governance structures prevent sexual violence?

Do laws adequately protect victims? And what does it mean to give survivors a voice — locally, nationally, and internationally?

Beyond #MeToo will begin on

Garner looks back fondly on his time in college, where he studied the great critics in class and found his own voice at the Middlebury Campus newspaper. His career as a college critic was aided by thenowner of the Vermont Book Shop, Dike Blair, who allowed Garner to take books for free in order to review them.

His reviews soon caught the attention of Vermont newspapers, and he started writing for the Vanguard Press in Burlington among other publications. Garner also worked at the Addison Independent while in college, which he recalled fondly as one of his formative journalistic experiences.

OV pulls away in second half to defeat Eagle boys

By ANDY KIRKALDY BRANDON — Saturday’s competitive high school boys’ basketball game in Brandon between host Otter Valley and Mount Abraham took a sharp turn at 4:28 of the third quarter.

That’s when after watching Eagle senior guard Logan Willey convert a steal to tie the game at 29-29, OV Coach Greg Hughes called for time. That hoop erased the last of what had been OV’s nine-point second-quarter lead.

According to OV senior guard Dylan Mackie, Hughes had already reminded his team they had to buckle down if they didn’t want to lose again to the Eagles, who had defeated them, 61-51, on Jan. 2 at Mount Abe. After that reminder, Hughes’ message fully kicked in. Thanks also to a switch to more aggressive man-to-man defense, the Otters closed the third period on a 12-2 run bookended by two Mackie threes, and then shut out the Eagles in the fourth quarter to win, 51-31.

Mackie, who finished with a game-high 19 points, described that message, which also came on the heels of two close OV losses to Division I teams on the road.

“At halftime we went in and talked about how we have to go out and work a lot harder. Because we’ve been working really hard in Mt. Abe forward Parker Hines is surrounded by Otters as he looks to pass during the first quarter of the last two games we’ve played, Saturday’s loss in Brandon.

The victory allowed the 5-5 Coach Martin Clark said he Otters to snap a three-game skid possibly should not have switched that started with their loss at Mount from the first-half man-to-man Abe. Hughes said Saturday’s defense to a less effective doublewin should be important for their teaming zone in the second half. psyche.

But Clark credited OV’s strong “Regardless of standings or man defense, against which the anything like that, I think our Eagles lost the patience they had confidence level needed it,” displayed against OV’s 3-2 zone Hughes said. “We played well in the first half, for most of the against Burr & Burton our last momentum shift.

Eagles topple Commodores to highlight girls’ hoop ADDISON COUNTY — Mount Abraham tripped up visiting Vergennes to headline local high school girls’ basketball games all played on this past Friday. In other action Middlebury lost at home, while Otter Valley came up short on the road.

EAGLES OVER VUHS The Eagles took an early lead and rolled to a 39-25 home victory over the Commodores. Jalen Cook (13

points, four rebounds and five assists) and Chloe Johnston (10 points, eight rebounds and seven steals) helped sparked Mount Abe (7-2) to its sixth straight win. The defending champion Eagles are in third place in Division II. They will play at Mill River on Friday.

Emily Gosliga led the balanced Commodore scoring table with six points. VUHS had won three of four, but dropped to 3-4 with the setback.

The Commodores will play at

Winooski on Monday night in a game just moved up to 6:15 p.m., and then will host Colchester on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.

OTTERS The Otters dropped a game to D-I Mount Anthony, 61-45, as Grace Mahar went off for 26 points for the 4-5 Patriots.

OV got another strong effort from Alia Edmunds, who notched 21 points and nine rebounds, and Leah

Pinkowski chipped in 10 points.

The Otters dipped to 4-5 and will look to get back to .500 when they visit Burr and Burton on Tuesday.

TIGERS Visiting Burr & Burton got past the Tigers, 47-28, as the 4-5 Bulldogs got 20 points from Ashley Heaton.

Ashley Sunderland scored 11 lead the Tigers, who will look for their first win on Saturday at 12:30 p.m., when Missisquoi (1-8) visits.

Basketball (Continued from Page 17) “Nothing seemed to go our way, a couple bad breaks and our shots got away from us. I guess I’ll put part of it on me because I changed our defense, and they reacted well to it,” Clark said, adding, “We usually play well against man. But credit to them. They played hard.”

In a first quarter in which the teams combined for 11 turnovers, OV emerged with a 12-9 lead as Mackie broke loose for eight of his points. Senior forward Shain Sargent scored four of his eight in the period for the Eagles.

OV led throughout a more settled second quarter, and pushed its advantage to 24-15 with a 7-3 lateperiod run. Senior guard Delshon Norwood (eight points, six assists) set up a Mackie three and a hoop inside by senior forward Pat McKeighan, and Mackie stole the ball and fed senior forward Kam Strickland on the break at 1:40 to cap the run.

A three by Eagle junior guard Eben Clifford at 2:45 was the only Eagle answer during that surge.

Clifford, who scored all seven of his points in the quarter, nailed another three at 1:25 to make it 2418 and spark an Eagle run. Senior Parker Hines, a mainstay on the boards, added a putback, and as time wound down Willey fed Sargent for a short jumper that cut the OV lead to 24-22 at the half.

In the third quarter Norwood hit a three, Hines assisted a Sargent layup, and when McKeighan (eight points) laid in a Norwood feed three minutes in OV’s lead grew to 29-24.

The Eagles responded again.

Junior forward Liam Kelliher, who finished with a team-high 10 points, nailed a three, and Willey went coast-to-coast with the steal to make it 29-29.

But after the timeout it was all OV. Mackie hit a three at 4:12, McKeighan converted an offensive board and drove and dished to Strickland for two more, senior guard Jack Adams added a putback, and Mackie capped the quarter and the 12-2 run with a three. A slick Hines move in the post at 2:25 proved to be the Eagles’ final points, and OV tacked on nine in the fourth quarter.

Clark said the Eagles have done well when they run and share the ball, and they will look to get back to those better habits when Randolph visits on Monday.

“When we play together we look very good. We’re athletic. We push the ball, and we didn’t push the ball as much as we wanted to today,” Clark said.

Mackie said the switch from zone defense to man helped spark OV at both ends of the floor.

“Getting into man helped us step up a little bit and play more intense,” Mackie said.

Hughes said “one little momentum swing” helped create the one-sided result.

“It’s amazing just how, us just hitting a couple shots, getting a couple stops, can definitely flatten another team. I think that’s what happened to them tonight a little bit there. But I think we continued to put the pressure on. We didn’t let up,” Hughes said.

And that’s the larger lesson for his team, he said.

“If we come and play hard, we take away what we want to take away,” Hughes said. So I just think that needs to be the message we’re sending to ourselves.”

Boys’ hoop: Tigers post sole victory ADDISON COUNTY — Middlebury knocked off previously undefeated Fair Haven to highlight local boys’ basketball play late last week. In other action Vergennes came up short at home, while Otter Valley lost a late lead on the road in a setback.

The Otters also hosted Mount Abraham on Saturday; see story Page 16.

TIGERS-SLATERS On Thursday the Tigers held off a second-half Slater surge to prevail, 57-53. Parker Beatty (20 points) and Tyler Buxton (12) led the scoring. Coach John Howe praised the Tigers’ ball movement and

defense on Fair Haven standout Cam Coloutti, who was held to six points. Andrew Ferrara led the Slaters with 14.

The result left both teams at 6-1. The Tigers moved into third place in Division I and will host Spaulding on Wednesday.

COMMODORES On Thursday visiting Mill River played strong defense in a 48-22 victory over the VUHS. Aidan Botti scored a game-high 13 for MRU, which improved to 5-1 and took over first place in D-II with the Slaters’ setback to MUHS. The Commodores slipped to 2-5 and will visit Montpelier on Tuesday.

OTTERS On Thursday the Otters led host Burr & Burton entering the fourth quarter, 28-21, but the D-I Bulldogs erupted for a 23-10 advantage in the final eight minutes to pull out a 4438 victory. BBA improved to 6-2.

The Otters hurt themselves by making just eight out of 23 second-half free throws while losing their second straight close contest on the road to a D-I foe. OV guard Delshon Norwood led all scorers with 13 points.

OV dropped to 4-5 heading into Saturday’s game with Mount Abe, which defeated the Otters in Bristol on Jan. 2 to trigger a three-game OV skid.

Middlingo founders Joanna Doria and May Poduschnik will be giving a presentation on their work at the One World Library Project presentation at Lawrence Memorial Library in Bristol on Thursday, Jan. 24, at 6 p.m.

Learn the value of 2nd language Middlingo founders explain at library BRISTOL — The One World Library Project has invited the public to attend “Middlingo — Teaching Chinese to Vermont Youth,” on Thursday, Jan. 24, from 6-7:30 p.m. at Lawrence Memorial Library in Bristol.

As every parent knows, young people absorb language. Two

Vermont women who grew up speaking Chinese, Joanna Doria of Ripton and May Poduschnik of Middlebury, decided to build on that notion by raising their children in a multilingual home. Friends, impressed by their successes, convinced the women to turn their language skills into a business, and thus Middlingo was formed.

Doria grew up speaking Mandarin with her Taiwanese mother and has visited Taiwan every year since

she was 12. After graduating from Colby College, Doria taught ESL in Xiamen and Chinese at a private high school. She lives with her two children and spouse in Ripton and works at the North Branch School.

Poduschnick grew up in California, where there is a large pan-Asian and Latino community.

She points out that, “Speaking a second language at home was common but not seen as an (See Middlingo, Page 20)

Middlingo (Continued from Page 19) advantage.” In college, she came to appreciate all those Saturdays spent at Chinese school in her younger years. When her first child was born, she decided to make learning Chinese a priority. Her four children share a trilingual household in Middlebury with Poduschnick and her German husband. She is also

involved with local playgroups, where she incorporates songs and movement elements into her language instruction.

At the One World presentation Doria and Poduschnik will give a 40-minute slide presentation about the value and process of teaching children a second or even third language, giving people the opportunity to learn more about foreign language acquisition and how local children are learning Chinese. Families with children of all ages are particularly encouraged to attend; child care in the form of language enrichment activities will be provided during the presentation.

Doria and Poduschnick founded Middlingo 18 months ago. Their afternoon programs at Mary Hogan and Bristol Elementary Schools are geared to children 3 to 12 years of age and serve both the after-school programs and the homeschool community. Since last autumn Middlingo has partnered with Project Pengyou (meaning “friend”) at Middlebury College, a student group focusing on U.S.Chinese dialogue, friendship and understanding.

According to Project Pengyou president and Middlebury College sophomore Benjy Renton, this arrangement is a “perfect fit for students who have studied Chinese or who are Chinese speakers to share their knowledge with the local community and share their culture.” Renton will participate in the presentation.

It is Doria and Poduschnik’s experience that instruction in Chinese builds on young children’s aptitude for language while also enhancing other learning skills. Its roughly 3,000 individual characters promote visual learning. As a tonal language, early exposure lays the foundation for discerning sounds.

Unlike English, Mandarin has both regular and logical patterns that students learn to integrate. As part of their instruction, children also learn about the richness of Chinese foods, customs and festivals.

During the slide show portion, children are invited to attend a special program with Bristol resident and parent Candy Jiang in the children’s library downstairs.

Jiang, a native of Guangzhou in southern China, where Cantonese is spoken, will guide the children in Chinese songs and crafts activities, and they will be served a Chinese noodle bowl and other light snacks. After the slide presentation, parents and community members are invited to join the children downstairs for a Chinese snack and sharing.

VERMONT’S TWICE-WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Middlebury, VT 05753 • (802) 388-4944 • www.AddisonIndependent.com

Students of the Week from area High Schools Middlebury Union High School

Middlebury Union High School introduces Maisie Newbury of Weybridge as its Student of the Week. She resides with her parents, Michael Newbury and Holly Allen, and her older brother, Robbie.

The faculty at MUHS values Maisie’s engagement in the classroom and her ability to write critically and speak thoughtfully on a myriad of subjects. She is a gifted student and serves as the president of the school’s National Honor Society. Maisie has pursued one of the most challenging curriculums available at the high school; by the time she graduates, she will have completed ten Advanced Placement classes. In addition, she has successfully completed a course at Middlebury College, “Introduction to Hispanic Literature and Cinema,” which was taught completely in Spanish.

Maisie has spent multiple summers at Camp Nokomis on Lake Winnipesauke in New Hampshire enjoying the outdoors. Her time on the lake has been spent sailing, swimming, waterskiing and enjoying time with friends.

Maisie Newbury

She especially enjoys writing and has been an active participant in MUHS the in the Young Writers Project. Maisie entered an essay in Senator Bernie Sanders’ “State of the Union” contest last January and it was selected as one of 20 finalists from a statewide pool with over 600 entrants. She and the other student finalists met with Senator Sanders in Montpelier and discussed world and national issues in a political round table. Maisie’s essay, along with those of the other finalists, was published in the United States Congressional Record.

Maisie has traveled to Spain on an MUHS sponsored trip. She has served as a peer leader to entering ninth-graders and her advice to new students is to “take each day as it comes.” She has been a member of the Tiger cross-country, Nordic ski and track teams and says that sports have always been a vital part of her life. She has valued her teachers at MUHS and is looking forward to college next year. Maisie was admitted early decision to Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

A bright future awaits this talented young woman and everyone at Middlebury Union High School wishes Maisie well.

Vergennes Union High School

Vergennes Union High School presents Ashley Cray as its Student of the Week. Ashley lives in Ferrisburgh with her dad and mom, Kelly and Dana Cray. Ashley has an older sister, Hailey, who is a junior at the University of Vermont and is studying biology on the pre-med track.

Ashley has been on the honor roll or high honor roll for all of her high school career, and plans for that to continue throughout the rest of her time here at VUHS. Ashley was inducted into the National Honor Society this year. She has taken three Advanced Placement courses, and challenged herself with upper-level science and English courses.

Ashley has been a member of the cross country team since her sophomore year and has been captain since her junior year.

Since 9th grade, Ashley has also participated in both outdoor and indoor track and captained both since her junior year. Ashley is a member of student council and of QSA (Queer Straight Alliance), is the senior class secretary and was a cast member in the musical.

She represented VUHS as a Girls State delegate her junior year.

Ashley has also tutored middle school students. One of Ashley’s Ashley Cray favorite volunteer experiences in the past year was a 17-day trip VUHS to Ghana, where she helped students at the Trinity Yard School develop creative writing skills.

Ashley says, “I think one of the biggest things I have learned throughout high school is that procrastination is not your friend and should be avoided at all costs. Also, a planner is a lifesaver. My personal philosophy is to always treat people and the planet with respect and dignity. This is something my mother has always told me, and I think it is an incredibly valuable piece of advice. Some advice I would give to other students would be to talk to your teachers. If you are struggling with an assignment or need more time, they are almost always extremely understanding and always willing to spend extra time with you to help you understand something.”

VUHS English teacher Michael Thomas says, “Ashley is completely authentic, whether reflecting on her own personal growth or on an abstract issue: the learning itself is always her true focus, rather than any personal recognition or grades. She has been an important part of creating a productive and inclusive intellectual community in my classroom.”

Following graduation from VUHS Ashley plans to attend college and study environmental science. The faculty, staff and students of VUHS wish Ashley Cray the very best in the future.

Students of the week from all area high schools will receive a gift certificate from Vermont Book Shop, and a gift card from 7 South Sandwiches.

Students of the Week are chosen by school teachers and administration.

We’re proud to support all area students and want to say Thanks to those who volunteer with us!

Pet of the Week

HomEward bound

addison County’s Humane society Sailor. 1 year, mixed breed, neutered male.

Sailor is a playful, energetic and sweet guy who can’t get enough of chewy toys and time with people. He gets nervous when left alone in the home and requires a family that has someone to spend the day with him or can bring him to play at daycare each day (he has made many friends at Comfort Hill already!). He loves kids of all ages and develops strong bonds with them quickly, but hasn’t figured out how big he is yet and gives full body hugs! Careful, once you meet him he is going to steal your heart!

Maple. 11 months, Coonhound mix, spayed female. Maple is gentle, loving and playful.

She comes from a home where she was primarily outside, so she will need a puppy friendly home to help her learn house manners. Maple gets overwhelmed by too busy of a household and for this reason we are requiring that any children in the home be age 13 and up. Her best home would be one with a family who can keep up with how active she is and is ready to shower her with all the love she needs. Come scoop her up before she’s gone!

Twitter. 8.5 years, short hair tiger w/ white, neutered male. Twitter is a handsome, distinguished gentleman who made the trip the trip from St. Hubert’s in New Jersey to try his luck at finding a new home in the Green Mountains. Twitter is big kitty who is full of personality! He tolerates other cats but would probably prefer to be the only cat in his home (or have just one other mellow cat as a companion) as he likes to rule the roost. If you are looking for a big, squishy kitty to warm your lap, Twitter might just be the cat for you!

This is Olivia Jane Bryant On Jan. 17, she will be 20 years old…

well over 100 in cat years. She loves drinking from the sink faucet, playing with cat toys, running up the stairs, going outside (under supervision because she is now deaf) having her back rubbed, and of course eating and sleeping. She knows she has to shake hands before she gets a treat.

For the past three years she has been treated with Chinese medicinal herbs and eating raw (poultry) cat food which she loves. Once, several years ago, she hid in our RV when she went through a kitchen cabinet all the way under the floor to the back bedroom and we had to dismantle a lot of parts to find her.

When she was born she had a deviated sternum and heart problems. She had to be evaluated at the

University of Georgia Veterinary school for her cardiac issues and at five months old we were able to adopt her from the vet’s office who found her and her sibling kittens and their mom.

This past year she had surgery twice within two weeks for an infected cyst on her stomach and then was fed by a feeding tube for several weeks. She really must have nine lives because she made it through all of that and has lived a good, long life. She has a very sweet temperament, the most beautiful green eyes, and everyone who meets her, even if they aren’t a “cat person,” loves her.

Ebony. 1 year, short hair black, spayed female. Ebony is a pretty little cat with great big eyes. She is quietly watchful and quick to roll on her back to show you her tummy. She extremely affectionate, never turning down a good belly rub or ear scratches! Ebony made her way from to VT on a transport from Saint Hubert’s shelter in New Jersey so we don’t know much about her history, however we do know that she is well a behaved little cat who will a phenomenal companion!

Dog Obedience & Agility

Submit your

If you’d like to include your pet as “Pet of the Week” simply include your pet’s name, gender, approximate age (if you know it), along with comments about the pet’s favorite activities, your favorite activity with the pet, what the pet enjoys eating, and any particular

Shiloh. 4 years, short hair grey, neutered male. “Shiloh when I was young, I used to call your name. When no one else would come, Shiloh you always came, and we played….” While Neil Diamond’s Shiloh was an imaginary friend, our Shiloh is the flip side of the coin; a young cat abandoned and looking for a friend. This handsome fellow came to Homeward Bound frightened and ready to fight for his life, but has since discovered what it is like to be loved and cared for. Shiloh is an independent kitty with some rough edges, but he loves attention, would likely make a phenomenal mouser. He is ready to meet his one true friend- will that be you?

Hand-in-Paw Training & Boarding Kennel Route 74, Cornwall • 462-2992

Maple & Louie. 3 & 4 years, English Lop & Lop/American mix, neutered males. Maple and Louie are a pair of bonded male rabbits who are looking for a home together. Both are sweet, enjoy human company, and are potty trained! Louie loves to be held and while Maple doesn’t enjoy being picked up he will settle in for snuggles once he feels secure. Maple is blind and relies on his brother Louie for safety and security, so this duo must be adopted into a home together.

Arden to speak in Shoreham SHOREHAM — Platt Memorial Library will host Vermont author Katherine Arden on the eighth stop of her national book tour on Monday, Jan. 21, at 7 p.m. Arden will be speaking about the third and final book in her Winternight trilogy, “The Winter of the Witch.”

Reviewers called Katherine Arden’s first two novels, “The Bear and the Nightingale” and “The Girl in the Tower,” lyrical, emotionally stirring and utterly bewitching. The Winternight Trilogy introduced an unforgettable heroine, Vasilisa Petrovna, a girl determined to forge her own path in a world that would rather lock her away.

Her gifts and her courage have drawn

the attention of Morozko, the winterking, but it is too soon to know if this connection will prove a blessing or a curse.

In the final book, Moscow has been struck by disaster. Its people are searching for answers — and for someone to blame. Vasya finds herself alone, beset on all sides.

Copies of all of Arden’s books will be available for purchase.

Arden will be signing her books. Light refreshments will be served.
