Primaries for sheriff, Addison-4 loom; some incumbents go unchallenged

By JOHN FLOWERS ADDISON COUNTY — An Aug. 14 primary election will be required to whittle down a surplus of Democrats competing for Addison County sheriff and the two seats representing the Addison-4 district in the Vermont House.

Meanwhile, three other districts

will feature no races at all for the general election, barring an eleventh-hour bid by an independent or write-in candidate. Incumbent lawmakers representing the Addison-1, Addison-2, Addison-3 and Addison-5 House districts currently have no competition for new two-year terms in Montpelier.

Such is the current election picture as painted by this past Thursday’s filing deadline for major party candidates seeking statewide, legislative and county offices on Nov. 6. Here’s how things stack up right now: • Incumbent Democratic Reps.

Robin Scheu and Amy Sheldon are unopposed in their efforts to return to Montpelier representing the twoseat Addison-1 House district that encompasses only Middlebury.

Sheldon is rounding out her second term in the House, where she serves on the Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources Committee.

She is a consulting natural resource planner and river scientist at her business Landslide Natural Resource Planning.

Scheu recently retired as executive director of the Addison County Economic Development Corp. She’s seeking her second (See County elections, Page 25)

Educator is saying goodbye to Beeman ‘family’ after 36 years Shalline lauded for connecting with kids

By CHRISTOPHER ROSS NEW HAVEN — On June 15, as Beeman Elementary kids unwrap their last-day-of-school popsicles and scatter for the summer, longtime teacher Robin Shalline will join her colleagues on the front steps of the New Haven school and wave

goodbye to her students for the very last time.

After teaching for 36 years at Beeman, Shalline is retiring.

Through it all, she’s never forgotten what it’s like to be a little kid.

“It doesn’t take long for me to

feel like I’m eight years old again,” Shalline said in a recent interview.

She understands the worry, the hurt feelings, all of it.

Students and parents agree.

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — A group seeking to keep downtown Middlebury a destination during the next three years of rail bridges construction is refining a game plan that includes financial rewards for dedicated shoppers, a new website, beautification efforts, a brochure, advertising campaigns and a series of outdoor concerts and movies to attract people into the village area.

The plan is being spearheaded

by Neighbors Together, a citizens’ group devoted to helping the downtown and its merchants weather an estimated three years of construction disruption caused by a tunnel project to replace the Main Street and Merchants Row rail bridges. A variety of other local organizations are participating in the effort, including the Better Middlebury Partnership (BMP), St. Stephen’s Church, Middlebury College, the Addison County Chamber of Commerce and Porter Medical Center.

“We’ve seen a lot of excitement around getting these things up and running,” said BMP Marketing Coordinator Karen Duguay.

“We have a full slate and many different organizations are part of it.”

Organizers are pleased to have a $115,000 budget to promote the downtown and its businesses this year. Resources include a $75,000 grant through the Vermont Agency of Transportation and another (See Middlebury, Page 13)

Heidi’s Haven decisions delayed

Ferrisburgh board to rule on infestation oversight for rescuer

By ANDY KIRKALDY FERRISBURGH — A second Ferrisburgh Board of Health hearing last week devoted to a rat infestation on the Sand Road property of a Ferrisburgh dog rescuer produced an agreement that the problem had at least temporarily ended, but did not yield a resolution to the issue.

At the end of 45 minutes of testimony on May 29 from Ferrisburgh Health Control Officer Jamieelynn Gaboriault and her attorney, Jim Carroll; dog rescuer Sheila McGregor and her attorney, Lesley Deppman; and McGregor’s neighbors; the Board of Health — which

is also the Ferrisburgh selectboard — announced it would recess and render a decision on June 19.

In a May 30 follow-up phone interview, Selectboard and Board of Health Chairman Rick Ebel said board members in their deliberations would at least consider a series of recommendations made

by Gaboriault and Carroll at the hearing and by Gaboriault in her original emergency health order on the infestation.

Those were that McGregor continue to cooperate with a pest control company, allow town representatives to make a follow-up visit

“When we make our decision and write that up, our goal will be to address the specific health order and the points that were outlined, and to do so in the manner that should resolve this in a longer-term period,” Ebel said. “I can’t say a (See Pests, Page 3)

Monkton, VT Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics We decided to build a garage/shop and incorporate solar panels. Dave from Bristol Electronics came out to advise us on our options and helped us with the correct orientation and pitch of our roof. Their prices were less expensive than the competition and for what I believe is a superior product. The installation was quick with no problems. Bristol Electronics is a locally owned and operated business that delivered great service before, during, and even now almost a year later.

We have been producing more electricity than we can use since May and banking the credit with the power company. We don’t anticipate having to pay another electric bill. I highly recommend solar power and using Bristol Electronics to install and service it.

But Deppman argued that because the town’s representatives agreed there was no longer an infestation the emergency order should be ended because “the requirements of the order have been met” and “there is no risk.”

She also added that McGregor would “wind down the rescue operation” by Sept. 30, and produced a letter from an Ehrlich Pest Control representative that stated the rat infestation “has been resolved.”

“It is our position the board has no authority to continue the order now that the emergency has passed,” Deppman said.

Neighbor Lauren Fisher disagreed that all feces was gone from the yard, saying what she called a “giant pile” of composted feces to the rear of McGregor’s 1-acre property, which she rents from her brother, is not only a source of SEN.

Guest Editorial Will ‘sober centrists’ ever return to debate?

As we step onto the first stage leading to the general election in November the thought is that an unpopular president is giving rise to our better selves; we’ve tasted the extreme and the unconventional and found it lacking. We want the political pendulum to swing back toward the center.

But what if it doesn’t? What convinces us that the way we communicate is about to bring us back to something that resembles normalcy?

If we look to other nations what makes us so sure that the populist rants we hear elsewhere don’t make their homes here? That’s another way of asking whether there is the appetite for the return of “sober centrists,’ those who specialize in telling us what we don’t want to hear, that compromise is unavoidable, and that there are no easy answers.

These centrists typically are considered the educated elite and their messages are decidedly unappealing to people who want quick fixes or radical change. President Trump is more to their liking; he rejects the status quo and he has done so brilliantly.

And for good reason. As a nation we’ve been at a stalemate for a long time and saddled with a system that has been ineffective. Mr. Trump was elected to fix what many Americans thought was broken.

But, to use a Vermont example, Bernie Sanders isn’t any more inclined to be a “sober centrist” than Mr. Trump. He uses the same sorts of polemics Mr. Trump does, but from the far left.

It’s like a game of ping pong. The action is on both ends, never in the middle.

When a leader fails, or promises are broken, our response is not to find those who told us the dirty little secret — that good policy isn’t a zero-sum game — it’s to lurch to those who promise an even more radical approach, and even greater winnings.

This rejection of the political middle is brought about by the enhanced ability of single-interest groups to mobilize online and to push their own agendas to the political extremes. By definition, these groups are interested in anything other than their own causes and they are highly skilled in their abilities to distort and persuade.

To push their causes forward they are beginning to find like-minded groups embracing similar causes. This patchwork of alliances is problematic for a two-party system like our own. As we push the extremes to the edges the question is what holds it together?

It used to be the thought that the truth brought us back to the center. But our collective ability to create our own truths, and to disseminate that “truth” without it needing to be passed through any filter, has put the center at risk.

We’re watching this play out across the globe. Our hope is that we don’t fall into the same irrational pattern. There is no stability in either extreme.

Letters to the Editor Rail bridges project could be turning point for town Necessity is the mother of invention. Downtown Middlebury has been weak in the knees for some time now and the bridge project stands to serve the coup de grace. The bridge project will be remembered as the dark age and if Middlebury pulls itself together the dark age will be followed by a renaissance.

Middlebury is the Shire town of Addison County and home to educational and economic powerhouse Middlebury College.

The guaranteed positive economic impact of the college has produced, in the past, a laissez faire attitude not shared by the once scruffy but scrappy neighboring towns.

Middlebury long ago entered the doldrums, where an attitude of what was once good enough was deemed good enough. That attitude no longer is good enough and empty storefront windows popping up like dandelions in the spring is proof.

The bridge project provides the

perfect stage for Middlebury to whiff the smelling salts, brush off the dust and get to work in earnest.

There has been massive cogitation and brainstorming in days past and now is the perfect time to put thoughts into action. The amazing transformation of our own Town Hall Theater serves as perhaps the striking and clear example of ideas materializing to concrete reality.

That same ethos could be used to address in earnest the parking (See Letter, Page 5)

Governor Scott’s veto of state budget is mystifying

Gov. Scott’s decision to veto the budget sent to him by our legislature is mystifying on several counts.

This is a budget passed with overwhelming tri-partisan support, unanimously in the Senate and by a margin of 117-14 in the House.

Why should the governor stand in opposition to what is so obviously the consensus of Vermont’s elected representatives?

The governor wants to use $33

million of one time money to avoid a modest property tax increase for next year. This will create an even larger funding gap next year and will require a bigger tax increase to cover the shortfall when that bill comes due.

The legislature has proposed using unexpected revenue to pay down pension debt, which will save taxpayers $100 million in future obligations. Is shaving a few pennies off next year’s tax rate

Raising the minimum wage won’t drive away jobs It is clear that 30 years of “trickle down” public policies have worked to make high-end wages higher and low-end wages MUCH lower due to inflation.

The minimum wage today pays for less than it did 30 years ago.

Approximately 87,000 Vermonters suffer this wage stagnation.

We have long understood the concept of livable wage. Here in Vermont that is $15.76 in rural areas and $17.64 in urban areas.

The average of a minimum wage earner is 38 years old, half are over 40, 20 percent are parents, 60 percent are women and almost all work full time and are the primary bread winner. (Joint Fiscal Office data). These people BADLY need to have a livable wage. They are largely not, as some claim, teenagers in their first job. They are hardworking struggling Vermonters, our neighbors!

Raising Vermont’s minimum wage will not drive jobs out of Vermont. For the last couple of years both New York and Massachusetts have had higher minimum wages than Vermont. I can find no one who can quantify how that has brought jobs into Vermont.

Yes, increasing the minimum wage to $15 will increase cost of products businesses provide.

According to a Purdue University

study the price of a Big Mac would go from $3.99 to $4.17. I think we Vermonters can live with this price.

Opponents, like the Vermont Chamber of Commerce claim raising the minimum wage will be disastrous to business. It seems that these businesses must rely on such humiliating low wages to survive. They think it proper that their employees suffer poverty, rely on charities for food and clothing and local and state governments for welfare benefits to live. They embrace the concept that the Vermont taxpayer should be subsidizing their impoverished workers so the businesses can make more money. I find this offensive.

Vermont was founded by people who were proud to work hard for their living. Now we have almost 90,000 Vermonters who are also working hard struggling to make their living. With our low minimum wage, we deprive them of the pride of being independent, self-supporting and the opportunity to shed the various forms of welfare. This

operated out of public view. They awarded prizes to those who killed the most coyotes, the biggest, the smallest, even the ugliest coyote.

Prizes have included cash, guns and other items. Hunters routinely use electronic calling devices that lure these curious and​social​ animals by imitating the sounds of a fellow coyote or prey in distress.

They also use radio collared dogs to chase a coyote to the point of exhaustion and then either shoot the coyote or allow their dogs to descend on the injured animal.

Contest participants often toss away the bodies like trash. Social media has provided a stark view into this underworld of “hunting,” since contest participants post photos of piles of b​ loodied coyotes as they’re being weighed in at contests.

Coyotes can still be hunted 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year in Vermont. This open season results in dependent young becoming orphaned and left to die from starvation, predation, or exposure.

So there’s more work to be done but this initial victory for the animals is a great start!

We want to thank Addison County Home Health and Hospice, (John, Ann, Cheryl) and especially Alice Barnum, Carlie Barnum and Mallory Barnum for their wonderful care of Bill over the last four years.

“I especially love both the public art project and the neighborhood block party in August,” she said through an email. “I feel they provide some levity and fun within a disruptive environment and say to local people and visitors ‘come and enjoy our town no matter what we are!’”

She said the extra way-finding signs will be helpful and hopes they are placed in “new and imaginative spots to really help out the lost and confused.”

Dunn is hopeful the new marketing efforts and MMM will help promote local sales.

“There can’t really be a ‘magic bullet’ to prevent loss of business, lack of parking, access, but at least there are organizations that have stepped up to be proactive and we should all be very appreciative,” she said.

Illuminate offers healing for body, mind and soul

By CHRISTY LYNN MIDDLEBURY — Samantha Isenberger has been a practicing massage therapist since 2008. As she was building her practice she rented different spaces and moved to several locations around Middlebury, but she had a vision for a space she could one day call her own.

In August of 2015 she realized that dream and moved into 211 Maple St. in the Marble Works.

The space had recently been vacated by Otter Creek Kitchenware & Electronics, a business that moved up to Merchants Row for more foot traffic. Some may have called it an odd transition to go from a kitchenware store

to a massage space, but it seemed a perfect fit for Isenberger. With a fully functional kitchen also in the space, Isenberger could operate her other job of baking for Stone Leaf Teahouse in the same location. (Isenberger and her husband, John Wetzel, own Stone Leaf, which is also in the Marble Works district just a few paces away.)

A comfortable room for massage and an infrared sauna were built into the open space, but otherwise the space needed very little work before Isenberger could move in.

“It started out with just me doing massage and baking in the space, but I knew it would evolve into a more integrated space for well(See Illuminate, Page 18)

Illuminate (Continued from Page 17) being,” she said.

Soon enough, she had her first partner.

Andrew Noethiger is a local percussionist, gong and sound enthusiast who hosts “sound baths” or “sound immersions” in a variety of locations around the state.

Isenberger met Noethiger and invited him to host a sound bath in her space that fall. A sound bath is a type of therapy where the subject lies down and has a series of singing bowls placed on and around their body; the sound of the reverberating bowls is said to lower stress and take one into a deep meditative state, among other benefits.

Since he first came to Illuminate, Noethiger has hosted a sound immersion at studio almost every month, attracting between five and 15 people each time. During the hour-long immersion participants sit or lie on the ground with mats, cushions, pillows and blankets and relax as the rhythmic experience resonates through the mind, body and soul. Noethiger transitions and blends the sounds made by several different gongs, bowls, bells and chimes, each filling the space with a “sonic soundspace” that seems to penetrate and cleanse the body.

Through her own pursuit of herbal healing and knowledge, Isenberger met and studied with Emily French, an herbalist who also operates Sweetgrass Herbals. French offers herbal consultations, classes and clinics for healing through plants. On Wednesdays at Illuminate, French offers a community herbal clinic, inviting participants to join for an

accessible way to learn more about healing through herbal medicine.

Like Isenberger, French believes strongly in the exponential healing power of an integrated approach to well-being.

“One of the key components to the collective is that we all believe that each modality supports the others to aid in wellbeing,” Isenberger said. “There’s no sense of competition or protection over one form of practice or another because we understand that each is supporting another element of health.”

Isenberger and Melissa Mae are the two massage therapists at Illuminate, offering integrated massage, reflexology, sauna sessions and guided meditation. Massage

primarily focuses on healing through muscle tissue.

Rachel Edwards, another member of the Illuminate collective, is a practitioner of Chinese medicine who offers acupuncture to target organs and healing through a different yet compatible modality. Edwards also offers a Tai Chi Chuan class on Tuesday evenings at Illuminate. The class offers fundamentals of Tai Chi Chuan as well as similar exercises and meditation.

And Tom Jackson offers a mind-body skills group to focus on healing through the mind.

Jackson’s eight-week class

teaches practices to reduce stress, increase self awareness, stimulate creativity, develop effective coping skills and cultivate emotional and mental balance.

In total, Illuminate houses five regular practitioners, including Isenberger, who owns and manages the space. Noethiger’s monthly events would make six, plus John Wetzel, who keeps an office for Stone Leaf Tea in the space as well.

Together, these practitioners cover wellbeing by focusing on healing through mind, muscle, organ, plant and energy. Isenberger is encouraged by this balanced group of practitioners and the range of healing methods offered in her space.

“Each person is very skilled at what they do and we came together very organically, which I feel very grateful for,” she said.

Each regularly refer their patients to other practitioners in the collective and stay aware and attentive to each others practices so they can comfortably suggest other services that could benefit their clients.

“I hope that sometime in the future we will be able to offer joint consultations for patients where two or more providers could meet collectively with a patient to discuss the best course of care, but we’ll see how that develops over time,” Isenberger said.

For now, the schedule is fairly full, but each practitioner is accepting patients at Illuminate and routine classes welcome new participants anytime. For more information on Illuminate and any of these practitioners or classes, visit illuminatemassageandcollective.com.

Q&A

Chris Moldovan, a Registered Dietician, a Fellow of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and Clinical Dietitian, knows all about the health benefits of the program; she is Director of Nutrition for Meals on Wheels, a program run by the organization Age Well.

Meals on Wheels is the only federally supported program designed specifically to meet the needs of seniors. It provides nutrition to our seniors, plus it decreases social isolation by getting a friendly volunteer to interact and visit with a person who might not otherwise see or talk to anyone else in a given day. Along with the inevitable impacts of aging come the increased risks of medical emergencies, falls and other accidents.

The safety check that accompanies each meal delivery ensures that in the case of an emergency or problem medics and families will be called.

Moldovan answered some questions from the Independent about how Meals on Wheels works.

Q: What is the main goal or mission of Meals on Wheels?

MOLDOVAN: Meals on Wheels’ goal is to provide nutritious meals and companionship to ensure the health and safety of those we serve. We do this by serving healthy meals both short-term and long-term to people over the age of 60 or who are otherwise eligible with priority given to those with highest nutritional risk who are unable to prepare their own meals. Meals on Wheels is one of the many services Age Well provides seniors and compliments our mission to provide the support and guidance that inspires our community to embrace aging with confidence.

Q: How does the program work? Who is eligible, what does it cost and when are meals available?

MOLDOVAN: Meals on Wheels is partially funded though the Federal Older Americans Act (OAA). Meals must be compliant with all OAA Nutritional Guidelines, safely prepared and handled, and delivered to individuals to meet one-third of the Recommended Daily allowance for people over the age of 60.

Meals are produced, packaged and delivered to hubs or dropped off at locations where our dedicated volunteers pick up and then deliver meals presorted by routes to people in need.

Q: Why is this program necessary in Vermont and specifically Addison County?

MOLDOVAN: According to Meals on Wheels of America, 23,327 Vermonters over 60 are threatened by hunger and 41,743 are isolated, living alone. Many people over 60 live alone or far away from family members with many having no daily contact with anyone outside of the Meals on Wheels delivery volunteer. The program also meets short-term needs related to temporary illnesses or recovery from surgeries as well as those with long-term needs to assist a client in managing their chronic health issues such as diabetes. Rural areas like as Addison County can make it even more difficult for a person who no longer drives or is unable to get out of the house to shop or prepare meals for themselves.

Food is medicine and we provide both quality and therapeutic meals as a preventative measure. The combination of proper nutrition, a safety check and a friendly visit offers

CHRIS MOLDOVAN

wrap-around support that enables seniors to remain healthier, independent and at home, where they want to be.

Q: How many participants receive meals as part of Meals on Wheels?

MOLDOVAN: Last year, Age Well served Meals on Wheels to over 1,700 individuals; 25 percent of our Meals on Wheels clients live in Addison County.

Q: How many volunteers work with this program, and what are their tasks?

MOLDOVAN: We have over 500 Meals on Wheels volunteers including 190 in Addison County. Volunteer drivers meet at local hubs to pick up meals and route delivery sheets.

For many seniors, the trusted Meals on Wheels volunteer or staff member who shows up every day with a meal and a warm smile is the only person they see or speak with all day. Time commitment is based on their availability — it can vary from one day a week to once a month (weekdays only).

Q: Is the Meals on Wheels program growing, shrinking or remaining the same in terms of participants and need? Why? MOLDOVAN: The size of the Age Well Meals on Wheels program has been increasing slightly over the years despite the rapid growth of the aging population in Vermont. At this point, Age Well has not needed to form a waiting list of people who need meals. We are working to assess nutritional and hunger risk to gather baseline data on those we serve to ensure that the most at risk have access to meals. Federal funding has remained relatively the same for many years despite the rise in the population over 60. In response, Age Well has been working to diversify our public and private funding of Meals on Wheels so we can continue to meet the ever-growing need.

Q: What changes are planned for Meals on Wheels?

MOLDOVAN: As of July 1, across Addison County, Age Well will be able to provide specific therapeutic diets such as Heart Healthy, Diabetic Friendly, Lactose Free, and Gluten Free as well as texture modification to help people manage their chronic health conditions to those that demonstrate a need.

Also, under the current model, Age Well oversees 14 different food vendors across Northwestern Vermont. With this many unique vendors, it is difficult to provide (See Meals on Wheels, Page 21)

Bank employees have fun & get healthy in ‘marathon’ MIDDLEBURY — Employees of National Bank of Middlebury gave it their all in the 5th Annual Marble Works Marathon on May 23.

This somewhat tongue-in-cheek event is actually part of a wellness program that encourages employees to walk. The name comes from the fact that the main office of the bank has a walking route that goes through the Marble Works, across the pedestrian bridge, up Heart Break Hill (also known as Frog Hollow) and back along Main Street to the bank in the Duclos Building.

On May 23, 82 bank employees spread from throughout branches in Brandon, Bristol, Vergennes, Hinesburg and three locations in Middlebury participated in a brisk walk along this course. Each location has a “map” to prevent employees from getting lost on their 5-10 minute walk.

The main office actually had four maps depending on the division: walker, extended walker, speed walker and runner. It also had a first aid station at the corner of Frog Hollow and Main Street for those participants who

Maple View Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

needed a bottle of water or a little cheering to get back to the bank. The Marble Works Marathon began in 2014 with 57 participants and has grown and spawned some serious walkers and runners with quite a few employees participating in 5Ks, a few halfmarathoners and one full marathon runner.

The concept from the beginning was to (See NBM, Page 22)

Meals on Wheels (Continued from Page 20) consistent quality control and food variety for the nearly 1,500 people we serve. In order to better serve aging Vermonters, Age Well has selected a single vendor, Lindley Food Service. Beginning this July, Lindley Food Service will serve all of Addison County in order to better serve the population and provide the therapeutic meals. This model will ensure consistent quality and allow us to meet a broader range of nutritional needs.

Additionally, Lindley has agreed to our local foods pledge and works with local farms such as Salvation Farms to glean produce.

Q: How will this program evolve and change going forward?

[

Providing the highest qualilty care.

MOLDOVAN: With the senior population set to double by 2050, we anticipate the need for Meals on Wheels will only grow. We are so grateful for the community’s continued support over the years. As federal funds have stagnated over the years, individuals, towns and businesses have stepped up by donating and volunteering to help make sure no senior is left behind.

Chris Sickles and Stacey Brown head out on the “marathon” (far right) in the Marble Works and head to the finish on Main Street in Middlebury.

“

I loved it (walking) so much that I started walking at lunchtime. A co-worker approached me and asked if I ever thought of doing a 5K. It is a very scary thing when you are lining up at the start line and comparing yourself to everyone around you, but I will tell you when I cross that finish line, it is such a huge sense of accomplishment. Accomplishment for having completed, (I have no intentions of ever winning, just finishing and trying to better my times if at all possible), and even accomplishment for just participating. I am stronger than I was before, mentally, physically and emotionally. Wellness is a huge part of it. I am now starting to pay attention to how I fuel my body with what I am eating.

”

“

In spring 2017, I went to my physician and advised her I rarely felt ‘well,’ was almost always tired and lethargic, and had an assortment of daily aches and pains. My blood pressure was high and cholesterol numbers could be improved. My mental outlook was bleak. After asking me a few questions about my diet and exercise routine, her ‘gentle’ recommendations were for me to lose a few pounds, substitute some healthy food choices for the high-sugar/ high-fat foods that made up the bulk of my diet and adopt an exercise routine. “‘Exercise?’ The only ‘planned’ exercise I had in my regular schedule at that time was the annual NBM marathon and that was because I wanted to participate as a member of our NBM family.

“I am no longer lethargic. Walking is now a daily event and has moved from 20 minutes to an hour or more. When I find I need to skip a walking day, I become quite disgruntled. Whoever would have guessed how important those walking times would become? Certainly not me! My one-year anniversary is … May 1. I have lost a total of 65 pounds and look forward to what the second year will bring. I am upbeat with lots of energy. I am looking forward to the 2018 NBM Marathon. I take delight in knowing that this year I’ll be able to run up that Frog Hollow hill (and by Carole’s Hungry Mind, too) with ease. The possibilities are endless!

I had worked so hard and I never thought I would be able to do this. I pulled myself together, wiped my wet eyes and ran. In 2017 I upped the ante and ran my first 10K.

Help save bobolinks; don’t mow your fields just yet MONTPELIER — Summer in Vermont is greatly enriched by the state’s many grassland birds, from bobolinks flushing up from a grassy field to the beautiful song of an eastern meadowlark. But many of these species are in decline due to the loss of appropriate grassland habitat.

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department and Audubon Vermont are encouraging landowners to help promote these beloved species and give these birds a chance to complete their nesting season simply by altering the times of year that they mow large fields.

Bobolinks build nests from May through July among the grasses and wildflowers of fields and meadows.

When bobolinks are present, other grassland bird species such as savannah sparrows and vesper sparrows may also be nesting among the grasses. Deer fawns, wild turkey chicks, and other animals take refuge in the grass, and are also at risk by mowing too early.

“People maintain large fields and meadows in Vermont for a variety of reasons, from commercial hayfields and grazing pastures, to simple aesthetic beauty,” said John Buck, biologist for the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. “Mowing is the most common means of maintaining the grasses but if mowed too soon in the summer, many grassland bird species will lose their nest and any hatchlings.”

According to Buck, landowners who mow their fields for aesthetic reasons can maintain these fields and accommodate the nesting

For farmers who maintain commercial hayfields and grazing pastures, Audubon Vermont coordinates the Bobolink Project in association with Mass Audubon, the University of Vermont, and several

other partners. The Bobolink Project uses donated funds to provide financial assistance to participating farmers who modify their mowing schedules so that grassland nesting birds can successfully raise their young.

for the Addison-5 House seat representing Bridport, New Haven and Weybridge. He is a longtime farmer and one of the county’s most veteran lawmakers, having served a combined total of almost 16 years divided into two separate stints.

Smith has logged many years of service on the House Agriculture and Forest Products Committee.

• Incumbent Rep. Terry Norris, I-Shoreham, confirmed on Thursday he’ll seek a two-year term in the House representing the AddisonRutland district that includes Benson, Shoreham, Orwell and Whiting. It was in February of 2017 that Gov. Phil Scott picked Norris — a former farmer and current employee of the Fort Ticonderoga Ferry — to fill a seat vacated by then-incumbent Rep. Alyson Eastman, I-Orwell. Eastman resigned from her legislative post to serve as Scott’s deputy secretary of agriculture.

Norris this year faces opposition from Shoreham Democrat Barbara Wilson, who with her husband, George Gross, owns and runs Solar Haven Farm off Bates Road.

• Two Democrats and one Republican have filed papers to run for the two state Senate seats representing Addison County, Huntington and Buel’s Gore.

Incumbent Sen. Chris Bray, D-New Haven, will be seeking his

fourth term. He chairs the Senate Natural Resources & Energy Committee and serves on the Education Committee.

Incumbent Sen. Claire Ayer, D-Addison, has decided to take a pass on re-election after 16 years in the state’s highest chamber.

Hoping to succeed Ayer is East Middlebury Democrat Ruth Hardy, a longtime community activist and school board member. She is on temporary leave from her job as executive director of Emerge Vermont, an organization seeking to involve more women in state leadership positions.

On the Republican side, Addison farmer Peter Briggs will again seek to break up the Democrats’ long running control of the two Senate seats. Briggs currently serves on the Addison selectboard, and previously served on his community’s Development Review Board.

Briggs is already an experienced campaigner. In November of 2013, he fell less than 100 votes shy of winning an Addison-3 House seat.

Briggs earned 7,329 votes in his 2016 state Senate run, finishing third behind Ayer (11,985 tallies) and Bray (9,543 votes).

It should be noted that at least one more candidate could join the race for state Senate during the next two months. Vermont Coffee Company CEO Paul Ralston said

he’s strongly considering entering the field as an independent. He and other independent candidates for office have until Aug. 8 to file their election paperwork.

OTHER ELECTIONS Meanwhile, the impending retirement of Addison County Sheriff Don Keeler has generated a lot of interest in the position. Filing papers by the May 31 deadline were Middlebury Democrats Ron Holmes and Peter Newton. So a primary will be needed to determine who goes on to the general election to face independent candidate Kevin Gibbs, the former Bristol police chief.

Holmes is a former deputy and Newton is currently a lieutenant with the department who has received Keeler’s endorsement.

A race is also in the offing for Addison County assistant judge.

Four candidates are vying for two positions. They include Republicans Alice George and Doug Tolles, and Democrats Jacqueline McLean and Patricia Ross.

Incumbent Addison County States Attorney Dennis Wygmans and presiding Addison County Probate Court Judge Misse Smith are both running unopposed, as is Charles Clark for the position of high bailiff.

Reporter John Flowers is at johnf@addisonindependent.com.

County elections (Continued from Page 1) term and currently serves on the House Corrections & Institutions Committee.

Once again, no Republican candidates have elected to run in Addison-1; Middlebury is perhaps the “bluest” legislative district in the county.

• Rep. Peter Conlon, D-Cornwall, is running unopposed for a second two-year term representing the Addison-2 district that includes Cornwall, Goshen, Hancock, Leicester, Ripton and Salisbury. He is self-employed and currently serves as chairman of the Addison Central School District board. Conlon serves on the House Education Committee.

• The most surprising aspect of the small field of candidates vying for the Addison-3 House district’s two House seats is that there are no Republicans in the mix. The Addison-3 district containing Addison, Ferrisburgh, Vergennes, Panton and Waltham has traditionally been a Republican stronghold, a home base to previous GOP faithful like Kittredge Haven, Greg Clark and Connie Houston.

Incumbent Rep. Warren Van Wyck, R-Ferrisburgh has decided not to run for re-election.

Incumbent Rep. Diane Lanpher, D-Vergennes, reversed the Republican trend when she won election in the district in 2008. She

serves on the House Appropriations Committee and will again appear on the ballot this fall, along with fellow Democrat and first-time candidate Matt Birong of Vergennes. Birong is an owner/operator of the 3 Squares Café in Vergennes.

• The two-seat Addison-4 House district boasts the most active race.

An Aug. 14 primary will be needed to whittle the four Democrats down to two who will move on to the general election.

Those Democrats are Lincoln’s Mari Cordes, a Registered Nurse; Paul Forlenza a retired business consultant, also of Lincoln; Robert Demic, a Bristol builder; and Caleb Elder, a renewable energy specialist, of Starksboro.

Interest among Democrats has been fanned by the fact that incumbent Rep. Dave Sharpe, D-Bristol, won’t be seeking re-election to the district, which includes Bristol, Lincoln, Starksboro and Monkton.

On the Republican side, incumbent and recent top vote-getter Fred Baser, R-Bristol, is running for re-election, and Valerie Mullin, an independent business person from Monkton, will again try to break into the winning column.

Baser, a retired insurance executive, serves on the House Ways & Means Committee.

• Incumbent Rep. Harvey Smith, R-New Haven, is running unopposed

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison County’s Humane Society Mitzy. 3 years, mixed breed, spayed female.

Mitzy isn’t so itsy-bitsy but she thinks she is! Mitzy’s previous owner said she tries her hardest to be a lap dog! Mitzy loves toys, likes to play fetch, and is super cuddly! In Mitzy’s previous home she did well with submissive dogs and does great with them along the fence line here that the shelter. Mitzy can be fearful in new situations and needs patient guardians who are willing to spend time on training. She also needs to go to a home with children who are 13 years or older and with a new family who respect her need for space.

Maybelline. 2 years, Pit Bull/Terrier mix, spayed female. “Maybe she’s born with it? Maybe it’s Maybelline.” Maybelline is a gorgeous red and white pup who was definitely born with it; she got her looks from genetics, not cosmetics!

Maybelline is an energetic, affectionate young dog who wants nothing more than to be her person’s shadow. Maybelline loves to ride in cars and enjoys playing with her human.

Maybelline is very smart and learns tricks and commands incredibly quickly. She would like a home where she will have many appropriate outlets for her energy and would LOVE to have a guardian who works from home or could take her to work with them. In order to make the perfect match for Maybelline, we require that she be adopted into a home without cats and with an experienced dog owner.

Peekaboo. 15 years, shorthaired tuxedo, spayed female. I spy Peekaboo! This wise woman was described by her previous family as an affectionate, quiet, and friendly couch potato. She peacefully coexisted with the dog in her previous home but did not like the little kittens. Here at the shelter, Peekaboo tolerates the calmer cats but does not like the playful younger ones. Who can blame her, though? At 15, Peekaboo deserves peace! Peekaboo is a talkative girl who would be happy to hold long conversations with her new guardians. Will that be you?

Elmer. 3 years, shorthaired tiger, neutered male.

Elmer was brought to Homeward Bound after being found in a ditch on the side of the road by one of our volunteers. When he first came to the shelter after such a rough start, Elmer was understandably shy and timid around strangers.

Since he’s been here, however, he has really come out of his shell and blossomed into a total lovebug! He will love you even more if you have catnip- Elmer LOVES his catnip! He lives peacefully in a community room with other cats and does really well with them. Elmer needs a family who will provide him with the patience he needs to feel comfortable in a new environment and around new people. We think once he feels safe, he will make a great companion!

Berdita. 3 years, shorthaired Tortie, spayed female. After being transferred to St. Hubert’s Animal Shelter in New Jersey all the way from Puerto Rico, and then finding her way to us, it would be easy for this gal to feel sad, lonely and scared. But living up to her name, which means a distinguished and cheerful leader, Bertita has only shown tolerance and love. Bertita is a petite gal who is social, friendly and talkative.

She does well with the other cats and is eager to greet all who come to visit her. This lovely lady will make a great companion!

Did You

Know?

(MS) — According to the Pet Poison Helpline, hybrid cats were first created in the 1970s as an effort by scientists to study the possible resistance to feline leukemia in wild cats. The goal of this research was to better understand hereditary factors for leukemia and how to combat the disease. The cats bred for this research were ultimately given to people as pets, creating a demand among cat owners attracted to their unique, often exotic looks. While hybrid cats now sold to the general public are no longer considered “wild,” the PPH notes that the largest number of behavioral complaints about the hybrid cats being bred and sold today concern aggression and refusal to use litter boxes. These behavioral issues compel many hybrid cat owners to turn their cats into shelters, many of which are already overwhelmed by overpopulation. Before purchasing or adopting new cats, prospective cat owners should give ample consideration to the potential behavioral issues associated with hybrid cats and whether or not such cats will fit into their lifestyles, as millions of cats that are returned to shelters are euthanized each year due to lack of adoptive families.

Lake Region stops Otter Valley nine

Addison Independent, Monday, June 4, 2018 — PAGE 27

By ANDY KIRKALDY BRANDON — Outstanding pitching by a Lake Region senior and one rocky inning on Saturday ended the Otter Valley Union High School baseball team’s dream of a second straight Division II title.

With Parker Brown tossing a two-hitter and striking out 12, No. 6 Lake Region defeated host No. 3 OV, 5-1, before a big crowd.

The 11-4 Rangers will next take on No. Harwood (14-2), with which they split this season. Coach Mike Howe’s 13-5 Otters suffered only their second D-II loss of the spring after a strong season.

“It’s a resilient team,” Howe said.

“We’ve played in a lot of close games. We’ve had some walk-off wins. We’ve battled back. They play hard. There was no doubt in (See OVUHS, Page 28)

MUHS girls’ lax outlast the Bulldogs

By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — The thirdseeded Middlebury Union High School girls’ lacrosse team on Saturday overcame a slow start against No. 6 Burr & Burton for an 11-9 quarterfinal win that kept alive the Tigers’ hopes for a second straight Division I title.

The Bulldogs scored three times in the first 5:27 and still led at the

half, 6-5. But the Tigers won the first five draws of the second half and netted three straight goals — by seniors Isabel Rosenberg, Ella Nagy-Benson and Andi Boe — in the half’s first 6:09.

Burr & Burton (9-9) kept it close, and the Tigers needed key ground ball wins and forced turnovers, big stops by goalie Raven Payne, and (See Lacrosse, Page 29)

OVUHS (Continued from Page 27) my mind we could have come back in the bottom of the seventh. It just wasn’t our day today.”

For three innings Brown and OV junior Josh Beayon matched zeroes on the scoreboard. Beayon struck out five and allowed two baserunners through three innings, while Brown worked out of a two-out, two-on jam in the first after Beayon reached on an error and Payson Williams singled.

LRU broke through in the fourth, when catcher Brady Perron lined the inning’s first pitch over the leftfield fence. Beayon then hit a batter and walked another, but he picked a runner off first base and senior catcher Daniel Allen caught a runner stealing third to keep it 1-0.

The Otters got that run back in their half of the fourth without a hit. Williams drew a lead-off walk, stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch, and scored when Kollin Bissette put down a suicide squeeze bunt on a tough high fastball. The Otters threatened for more with two outs when Brown hit Allen with a pitch, walked Marcus McCullough, and tossed a wild pitch to move the runners up. But a strikeout ended the scoring chance.

Then the Rangers scrapped for the winning rally in the fifth.

With one out Beayon momentarily walked No. 9 hitter Noah Royer and leadoff man Dylan Gagnon.

The next batter hit a grounder, and OV got the middle man, but the relay to first bounced away (OV’s only error was costly) and allowed Royer to come home with the goahead run.

Perron, and Parker Perron followed with a bloop double to score another run. Brown’s solid single scored two more and made it 5-1.

Williams pitched the final two innings and shut down the Rangers, but the Otters could not push another run across. They went down in order in the fifth and seventh, but put their first two runners on base in the sixth. Williams singled to lead

off, and Patrick McKeighan worked a walk. But Brown, who combined a strong fastball with a curve that became more effective in the later innings, whiffed the next three batters.

Howe praised Brown and the Rangers.

“We’ve seen some good pitchers this year, we really have, and he’s right up there,” he said. “He hit his spots, kept us off balance pretty well.

We could have taken advantage of a couple opportunities, but you’ve got to tip your hat. They played a heck of a ballgame.”

And he credited the Otters, and seniors Williams, Allen and Zach Bruce, for what they have accomplished — as recently as 2016 OV was a three-win team.

“It’s really hard to win a championship. It’s really hard to win two in a row. We have a lot of talent on this team. We have guys that love baseball,” Howe said. “I’m very appreciative of our three seniors. They were with us when it wasn’t so fun.

They fought through it and worked their tails off, and I’m glad we got last year because they deserved it.”

ADDISON COUNTY — Baseball teams from Middlebury, Vergennes and Mount Abraham union high schools all were ousted from tournament play last week, the Tigers and Commodores in quarterfinals and the Eagles in a first-round game.

TIGERS In a Thursday Division I quarterfinal host No. 3 Colchester scored five times in the fourth to break open a 3-2 game on the way to a BASEBALL 10-2 win over the No. 11 Wrap-Up Tigers. Laker hurler Saul Minaya allowed only three hits, including two to Skyeler Devlin. Devlin’s bunt single and an error on the play led to the Tiger runs early on. Jordy Stearns took the pitching loss.

The Tigers’ 11-7 record, the program’s best in many years, including a first-round tournament win at No. 6 Spaulding earlier in the week.

COMMODORES In another Thursday quarterfinal, D-III top seed Windsor eliminated No. 9 Vergennes, 8-1, as Jack ace Seth Balch struck out 12 while tossing a complete-game five-hitter.

Windsor moved to 13-4.

The Commodores rallied from an 0-6 start to finish at 6-11, a record that included a first-round playoff road victory.

EAGLES On Wednesday host No. 5 Fair Haven blanked Mount Abraham, 10-0, in a first-round D-II game as Slater hurler Aubrey Ramey tossed a two-hit shutout. Drew Eddy, Dustin Ellis and Austin Beyon had two hits apiece for the 12-5 Slaters.

For the 5-12 Eagles Silas Burgess and Nolan Whitcomb had hits, and Dustin Whitcomb took the pitching loss.

Counter won both the boys’ shot put and javelin, while Pitts won the girls’ long jump, while also placing second in the 100-meter hurdles and third in the triple jump. Pitts’ title was the 18th of her indoor and outdoor Mount Abe career.
