Roundabout being considered for Route 7 in N. Ferrisburgh Keep track of avian friends

By ANDY KIRKALDY FERRISBURGH — The Agency of Transportation could install traffic lights at the North Ferrisburgh intersection of Route 7 with Stage and Old Hollow roads within three years, according to a VTrans memo. But a roundabout at that location could be another option, according to the Addison County Regional Planning Com-

mission (ACRPC).

Ferrisburgh and regional planning officials last week said they were encouraged by a VTrans pledge to study the intersection and plan for upgrades to an intersection town residents and officials alike have said is dangerous.

Resident Judy Chaves said at the Sept. 4 (See Route 7, Page 26)

By JOHN FLOWERS CORNWALL — With its great elementary school, sweeping vistas, stately homes and proximity to the shire town, Cornwall has earned a reputation as being one of Addison County’s “high-rent” communities.

But that script is being flipped, at least a little, thanks to the combined efforts of a group of hardworking retirees and community-minded college students. They’re working together as Habitat for Humanity of Addison County, part of an interna-

tional organization devoted to building sturdy, energy-efficient homes at a bargain price for low-income families who might otherwise never own a place of their own.

This past Wednesday saw around a dozen Habitat volunteers busily toiling on a new, five-bedroom home off Cornwall’s Carothers Lane that is slated to host Ed and Shelly Shackett and their six children. The family is currently living in a four-bedroom apartment in Middlebury, spending (See Habitat, Page 26)

Proposal for Brandon solar array resurfaces

By EVAN JOHNSON BRANDON — A proposed 2.2-megawatt solar array just minutes from downtown Brandon is back for consideration.

A New Jersey-based solar developer has completed a petition for a Certificate of Public Good, according to documents available at the Public Utility Commission. That same developer had proposed a similar solar farm nearby this past spring but withdrew the proposal after pushback from neighbors.

Conti Solar of Edison, N.J., plans to construct what it calls the Babcock Solar Farm at the intersection of Park Street Extension

and Country Club Road. The solar farm would consist of photovoltaic modules on ground-mounted racks. The racks would be anchored to the ground with concrete foundations.

Components of the project include a 10.9acre fenced area encompassing two arrays separated by a wetland buffer; approximately 8,000 solar panels lined up in an east-west direction, with 45 rows in the western array and 22 in the eastern array; a concrete electrical equipment pad located within the perimeter fence of the east array, including a 2.2 MW central inverter, a 2,2000 kVA transformer,

metering equipment and other necessary equipment and an eight-foot-high perimeter fence.

The farm would link up to the electric power grid via a new overhead connection line with three new distribution poles to Green Mountain Power’s distribution system at a pole located on Country Club Road.

The project is set back 100 feet from the closest travel road and 50 feet from any adjacent property boundaries.

As part of the petition, Conti prepared a decommissioning plan for the solar farm.

The developer would be responsible for all

decommissioning costs; obtain any permits required for the decommissioning, removal and disposal of components; remove all above-ground infrastructure; remove all hazardous materials and prepare the property for reseeding or planting. The estimated cost of decommissioning the farm is $183,262.

The solar farm is the second attempt by Conti Solar to install a solar array at the proposed site. Conti brought a similar plan before the town this past spring. Abutting property owners and residents voiced concerns about the solar development so close to (See Conti Solar, Page 3)

Our roof is a difficult one due to our post-andbeam construction, but nevertheless, the crew was friendly, informative and just great people. Then even in the cloud cover, we began immediately to generate electricity! Furthermore (and most importantly for others deciding to install solar), the price was fair, competitive and honest. If we had another home, I’d want them to put the solar panels on that one, too! We recommend solar and Bristol Electronics without reservation!

MIDDLEBURY — What happens to sacred text when it has reached the end of its useful life?

Staff at the Middlebury College Libraries will give the public a chance to come find out how some traditions retire their sacred texts this Thursday, Sept. 27, in the program “Sacred Text Burial and Talk with Torah Scribe Kevin Hale,” which will take place at “The Knoll” off Route 125 west of the campus.

Rabbi Hale, a visiting Torah scribe, and the Middlebury College Chaplains will lead participants in a Jewish version of this ceremony and in a multi-faith ceremony. After the texts are buried people are invited to remain at The Knoll to hear from Rabbi Hale about the work of a scribe and how sacred texts are handled in the Jewish tradition.

In the event of rain, the burial will still take place at the Knoll, but the talk will be in Room 219 of Bicentennial Hall from 5:30-6 p.m. Participants are advised to dress for the weather.

This program is co-sponsored by Special Collections and Archives, Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life, Department of Religion, and Jewish Studies.

CLARIFICATION: A front-page story in our Sept. 20 edition reported the possible revival of the Vermont Green Line, a high-voltage power line that would run underground through Ferrisburgh and New Haven to a conversion power station in New Haven. National Grid, which is proposing the power line, has agreed to compensate those towns for work in road rights-of-way and the impact on the communities, particularly of the conversion station in New Haven.

The article stated one of the compensations to New Haven was that National Grid would “pay neighbors of the new power station there at least 1 million.” New Haven Selectman Jim Walsh wrote us to point out those neighbors would have to go through an uncertain process to collect from a fund set aside for that purpose.

Per the contract with the town, they would have to demonstrate through appraisal “their property suffered a loss in market value due solely to the presence or operation of the project.”

Walsh particularly drew attention to the phrase “due solely.”

State urges schools to test water

Officials concerned about lead levels

By ELIZABETH GRIBKOFF VTDigger.org Officials are recommending that all schools in Vermont test for lead in their drinking water after an initial round of testing showed elevated lead levels at some schools in the state.

The recommendation came in a report released Thursday about a school lead testing pilot program of 16 schools around the state led by the Agency of Natural Resources, the Vermont Department of Health and the Agency of Education.

“There is no safe level of lead in the human body,” said Vermont Health Commissioner Mark Levine in a statement Thursday. “We have an obligation to ensure that students and school staff have safe drinking water, and one thing this project made clear is that you have to test the water to know if there is lead in it.”

The agencies do not recommend a lead testing mandate, saying that the state does not have the capacity to provide comprehensive testing at every school around Vermont.

“If a requirement for lead in drinking water testing were placed on schools, additional resources would be needed to provide support and technical assistance,” the report says.

The pilot program tested lead levels from individual taps and faucets at schools on public drinking water supplies, as amounts of the heavy metal can vary within the same building. Of the 900 taps tested, 27 had “elevated” lead levels of 15

parts per billion (ppb) or higher.

Those plumbing fixtures were all either replaced or taken out of service, according to the report.

At least three taps in every school in the pilot, or 17 percent of taps tested, had lead levels higher than the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended maximum of 1 ppb.

Children absorb lead more easily than adults, and lead poisoning can cause brain damage and other developmental impairments. The effects of lead poisoning are irreversible.

In 2016, 480 Vermont children had elevated lead levels.

Schools that use public drinking water are not required to test for lead because municipalities already do so. Public drinking water systems are tested at water sources and in certain homes, but not at schools, said Lori Cragin, director of the Vermont Health Department’s environmental health division, in an interview last week.

Only schools that rely on well water and have an enrollment of at least 25 students are required to test their water — the wells are regarded by the state as public water sources.

However, the tests do not involve all taps or fountains in a school. About 150 schools in Vermont have private water sources and 25 or more students.

Most state efforts to date have focused on reducing dust from lead paint — the biggest source of lead poisoning in children.

The Flint, Mich., drinking water crisis garnered national attention about the dangers of inadequately treating and testing drinking water for heavy metals. After neighboring New Hampshire and New York passed laws mandating lead testing

in school drinking water, the state launched the pilot program to assess how prevalent lead is in the water Vermont school children drink.

Although Vermont was one of the first states to pass legislation lowering lead levels in new plumbing fixtures, the state has older schools that have fixtures more likely to have lead, according to the report.

Lead levels in drinking water can generally be reduced by low-cost solutions, like replacing outdated plumbing fixtures and encouraging the use of centrally located drinking water stations, according to the report. It noted that all filtered water “bottle fill” stations tested had lead levels below 1 ppb.

THE COST In the pilot program, sampling took one person one to two hours at smaller schools, and three to six hours at larger schools. The Vermont Department of Health offers lead tests for $12 each.

“The good news is that when lead was found, the fixes were relatively inexpensive,” Levine said in a statement sent out with the report. “Most schools are able to fully test all their taps for $800-$1,200. Removing a tap from service and replacing the fixture was typically done for less than $500.”

Environmental and public interest advocates this month sent a letter to statewide education leaders urging them to collaborate on a plan to test for lead and the toxin compound PFAS in school drinking water.

The education leaders have requested a meeting with the advocates about school drinking water testing, said Jeffrey Francis, executive director of the Vermont Superintendents Association.

“The Impact of Opioids”

According to the Brandon Town Plan adopted in 2016, solar developments are to be sited to avoid “averse aesthetic impacts.” The plan includes rules that developments be located below the horizon from public and private property and be screened by native vegetation. Large projects, according to the town plan, are not to be located within the viewshed of drivers on Route 73 or Route 7.

In a letter to the Vermont Public Utility Commission dated March 30, Conti Solar requested that it be allowed to switch to a new site in Brandon due to “significant opposition to the project from neighboring property owners and residents due to aesthetic concerns.”

Brandon Town Manager Dave Atherton reported that the town filed a Notice of Intervention on Sept. 9.

“It’s similar to what we do with all of them,” Atherton said at the Sept. 10 Brandon selectboard meeting. “We want to make sure that we are involved with whatever the

Guest editorial Taxes, regulations help those citizens who need it the most

By Rep. Dave Sharpe Often in discussions during campaign season, many Republicans will claim that business is over regulated and over taxed. Then they suggest the solution to society’s problems is to reduce regulation and taxes and let the free enterprise system free to do its thing and make money. This will, the GOP says, result in business owners making more money and finding a way to trickle down that money to workers. But history shows trickle down economics works better for the rich than the middle class or poor.

In contrast, many Democrats often follow the thinking of President Theodore Roosevelt who realized the truth in the phrase “capitalism works only when it is properly regulated.” President Roosevelt, known as Teddy, was the first to institute federal statutory controls on the powers of corporations at the turn of the 20th Century.

Today, it is clear to me that while we have made progress on many fronts, we have not instituted sufficient regulation or perhaps the proper kind of regulation as we look to correct corporate excesses or misdeeds. Here in Vermont that means we are still looking for ways to clean up superfund sites caused by pollution due to lack of adequate regulations, contaminated public water supplies (such as in Bennington) from industrial pollution, and toxic blooms that plague many of our lakes today.

We have managed to have some success in regulating medicines, although so-called patent medicines, various vitamins and supplements continue to be unregulated to an extent that either fleeces the public or entices citizens to spend money on ineffective “cures.”

Likewise government regulation of aviation has produced a relatively safe and effective airline system and the safety of food is significantly higher than it would be if unregulated. The use of chemicals in industry has gone virtually unregulated, however, with sometimes disastrous results.

Now comes the question of whether or not we should regulate the quality, safety and distribution of marijuana. It seems to me that this discussion goes right to the core of the difference between Republicans and Democrats. The safety of street drugs is highly questionable and the distribution of those drugs on our schoolyards and village streets poses safety risks to Vermonters.

I suggest that society is better off when government steps in to regulate free enterprise when there is potential for citizens to be harmed, and this is an opportunity we need to act on.

We also must find a way to pay for sufficient regulation. That will require that we either raise state revenues (preferably from the sales of marijuana) or cut current state services in some way.

The current administration, and Republicans in general, believe that government spends too much money and we should cut government spending in a number of ways. This administration’s current list includes cutting spending on K-12 education; cutting Reach Up support for those individuals who are struggling to survive and get out of the cycle of poverty; as well as cutting current regulation on various business activities. Their underlying belief is that by making business more profitable, businesses will then take care of the environment, and share their new-found wealth downstream with trickledown economics.

Both of these beliefs and resulting policies have been proven wrong time and time again, as the wealth gap gets bigger, state and federal deficits grow, and the poor and middle class get the short end of the stick. Yet many Americans and Vermonters continue to support this philosophy. I don’t get it!

Note: Dave Sharpe lives in Bristol, has served the district as state representative for several years, but is not running for re-election this year.

Letters to the Editor Brandon, Forest Dale sidewalks also deserve attention The start of the Segment 6 Route 7 project in Brandon has spurred several interesting side conversations, one being how much people like the old-style lamp post street lights around the park. I admit even I like the looks of them but will reserve final judgment until they are lit and working.

Another conversation that has been brought up is the hope that the other streets in Brandon receive the same kind of care and maintenance and upgrades as Route 7 is receiving.

That makes me laugh, as the side streets won’t be getting 20 million

dollars’ worth of funding from the Federal government. The main reason the Route 7 project is happening is because the Feds are paying 95 percent of the cost. And I strongly suspect that once this project and the Town Office Bridge and Park Street projects are done you will see very little major construction happening in Brandon for a long time, barring some sort of disaster.

Paving will likely be about the extent of road upkeep and maybe some bridge replacements periodically. Other than that, forget about the side streets getting any major

work done to them.

This brings about the third large area of discussions — sidewalks — especially in poor forgotten Forest Dale. The section of Route 53 from the corner starting just below the Living Water church going up to Forest Brook development is in dire need of sidewalks. The number of people who walk that section of road take their lives in their hands.

Several years ago, there was a discussion about being able to tap into State money for sidewalks that help for school safety. This section (See Letter, Page 5)

Letters to the Editor Sunshine, 93, inspires with anthem

Ninety-three-year-old Naomi Sunshine has a lesson for us all: “We are not here to see through one another. We are here to see one another through.”

Here is some background information.

This year I had the chance to sing Gospel at Omega Institute the first week in July. It was there

that I was gifted by the visit of a 92-year-old (just turned 93 on Aug. 26) friend. Naomi Sunshine still writes songs, sings and plays piano. She no longer drives far.

Naomi’s daughter brought her to Omega, for the afternoon, so she could spend some time with “the ol’ gang.” We have been singing (See Heather-Lea letter, Page 16)

Letter (Continued from Page 4) was specifically mentioned. I seem to remember that was about the time Brandon had little to no confidence in the Town Manager and Board and budgets were voted down more than once. However, lest I forget, Park Street and their sidewalks are more important than any other section of town.

To be sure Forest Dale isn’t the only dangerous section without sidewalks. The Hill on Union Street and Barlow Avenue intersection is also dangerous. I am just as surprised people have not been killed at this location or the Forest Dale area.

Some of the old narrow sidewalks like the one up near the Playground on Seminary Hill need attention badly as well.

Infrastructure is a vital part in attracting families and businesses to a town. Many people think the Route 7 project will be the saving grace for Brandon. I disagree and my opinions on the destruction of this once beautiful historic town are well known. However, if the town doesn’t have safe sidewalks for children to

walk to school or the store or any number of locations, it is a detriment to the community.

It would be great to see Brandon bond for major sidewalk improvements and construction in Brandon and Forest Dale. And maybe some of the local option tax that Brandon levies could be used in these improvements. After all, these are your children, family and friends that walk the streets with no sidewalks.

How would you feel if a police officer came to your door telling you that your loved one was involved in a pedestrian accident?

Brandon has a sad history of putting off until tomorrow what should be done today. This even goes back to my days on the Board in the 1980’s and before. It all comes down to a matter of priorities. Are Brandon’s in the right place? Not that can be seen and evidenced by me. Budget time is fast approaching.

What better time to start the process than now to be ready for March 2019 Town Meeting.

where I couldn’t reach it. I also will often ask for help reaching something on the top shelf at the grocery story. I recognize and accept that I have some physical limitation and there are times when help is greatly appreciated. I also find that it is much easier to accept help when it is offered than it is to ask for help, which is why I appreciate the offers of help even if I almost always decline.

The more I thought about it, the more convinced (hopeful?) I was that the man at the gas station was offering to help me because I was in a chair. But would he have offered if I were a guy in a chair?

If not, then the gender question is problematic. I tend to think the best of people, so I’m going to stick with my theory that he was offering because I was in a chair for no other purpose than he thought I may not be able to reach the engine cap (which is true).

I often get asked how one should approach offering help. My advice is that I don’t mind being offered help but don’t presume that I need help. A quick, “Anything I can help you with?” is always sufficient but not condescending. I know it can be uncomfortable to offer or not offer help but the more you do it the more comfortable you will become. Just catch yourself before making any gender stereotypes, those are off limits!

Amber Kimball, 27, Starksboro STARKSBORO — Amber Marie Kimball passed away unexpectedly on Sept. 9, 2018, at the age of 27.

She will be eternally missed by her three-year-old love of her life, her son Elyjah and his dad, Mike; her brother and best friend Tony and his wife KaLynne and new baby girl Sutton Marie; her mom Victoria and step-dad David; her father Bernard; her Gram Victoria; her very special Aunt Su; as well as many many more loved ones and friends.

Amber lived by doing what she believed to be her purpose in life — helping others. She started living her life this way as a toddler by being a best friend to her brother Tony and then to others at school and jobs, giving rides to those who needed it, being an

ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on and a most loyal and trustworthy friend to anyone who accepted her generosity.

She will be most remembered by her caring heart, her laughter, her unwavering willingness to do anything for anyone, her spontaneous road trips with her Gram and her unique ways of self-expression.

On Sept. 12, 2018 Amber fulfilled her final lifeless act of donating both of her kidneys and saving two more lives.

Per Ambers wishes there will be a private celebration of life at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations for Elyjahs education fund can be sent to Victoria Purinton, 361 Tatro Rd. Starksboro, VT 05487.◊

presents the

short statement before the group.

Resolutions will be adopted and sent on to the Vermont Farm Bureau, providing grassroots input into policy and law that will benefit the agriculture industry. Strong efforts from Addison County farmers and others have brought about change in agricultural policies. The Farm Bureau has an obligation to take an active role on the local, state and on the national level to unite behind a plan that will stabilize prices, improve water quality, and advance all phases of agriculture.

Membership benefits that save money on farm and agribusiness including insurance, diesel, fuel oil and propane will be represented at the meeting. A scholarship raffle with donated prizes will be held.

I would appreciate your vote on November 6 for Addison County Assistant Judge.

(Reminder, early voting begins Sept 24.)

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison County’s Humane Society

CATS R COOL 4 BACK 2 SCHOOL!

For the month of September, all adult cats (age 1 year and up) are available at 50% off their adoption fee. Below is a sampling of some of the cats included in our back to school adoption special- stop by the shelter to see them all!

Meeko. 11 years, shorthaired brown tiger, spayed female. Meeko was surrendered to the shelter when her guardian became too ill to care for her. Meeko seems to be taking it all in stride and patiently awaits for her new family. Meeko is a big hearted lady, who could use a nice lap to snuggle next to or on. She is well-mannered and calm and is happy to fill the room with cheerful purrs.

Pet Pages

Uno. 7 years, shorthaired grey & white, neutered male. Uno is #1. He is super friendly- the sort of cat who will happily greet you every time you walk through the door. He loves to nuzzle and be petted and he won’t say no to attention. He is a total lover boy. If you are looking for awesome cat, Uno is the one!

LAST WEEK to bring home a kitty at 50% off!

Stormy. 6 years, longhaired grey tux, neutered male. Stormy was found hanging out at the Dollar Store. Stray or not, this cat looks like million bucks. This is no dollar store cat, he belongs at Neiman Marcus. He has long grey fur with great wisps of fur coming out of his ears and gorgeous mane. Quite a little prince. He clearly has had contact with humans, but is easily frightened, so he needs a quiet home where he will feel protected and adored.

Elmer. 3 years, shorthaired tiger, neutered male. Elmer a total lovebug who just LOVES his catnip! He lives peacefully in a community room with other cats and does really well with them. Elmer would like 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 for many people!

Lately I have been seeing a cat hanging out by the dumpsters near my local grocery store. Every time I try to get near it, it takes off into the woods.

Since the weather is changing, I am worried about it being out in the cold.

What should I do?

Curious

At Paris, we have everything you need for your pets and animals!

• Dry or Wet Dog & Cat food • Dog & Cat beds, toys, cleaning supplies & accessories • Fish, bird, rodent & reptile supplies — including live crickets • Wild bird & Squirrel supplies • Backyard animal feed & supplies • And friendly, knowledgeable service to help guide you!

Ophelia. 2 years, shorthaired black, spayed female. Ophelia is an impish young gal who came to us as a stray. To look at her, you would never guess she was ever on the streets. She is a cute, confident little lady who knows what she wants. She is happy, easy going, and loves to explore and find things to bat around the room. Try not to laugh when she chases her tail! If you need some levity in your life, come meet Ophelia!

Dear Homeward Bound,

1438 Route 7 South • Middlebury, VT • 802-388-3139

Dear Curious, Great question! I am sure you are not alone in wondering what to do when you see a cat that looks homeless but is not friendly enough to pet and safely pick up and take to your local humane society.

Cats are very clever at surviving on their own and can do so without a lot of human support. One thing that they can do very well without human intervention is reproduce! This perpetuates the cycle of homelessness and suffering for the cats.

Homeless wild cats are called feral cats and can exist in all sorts of environments as long as there is some source of food (such as the grocery store dumpster) and some access to shelter (the woods). If you want to help them, there are three things to do. First, talk to the person or business that you think owns the property where the cats are living and ask permission to start providing food for them. When they ask why you want to feed them (Step 1), you can explain that you want to get them used to you so that you can eventually catch them in a humane trap (Step 2) and have them spayed and neutered and given rabies vaccines (Step 3). You can explain that this process will keep the cats from reproducing and will improve public health by increasing the number of rabiesvaccinated animals in the community.

Most of the humane societies in Vermont operate programs, known as T(rap)- (N)euter-(R)eturn, or TNR, which are designed to help you with this and cover the expenses as well.

I hope this helps you and good luck in your efforts to help this cat!

You love your pets…

We do too

Mamacita & Tuna. 5 & 2 years old, shorthaired torties, spayed females. This mother daughter duo is the very definition of love. It is lovely and is heartwarming to watch these two; they enjoy curling up together and grooming each other and nuzzling. They both like to held and petted. Tuna (the daughter) takes cues from her mother (Mama knows best, right?). They get along with the other cats in their community room, but they show no interest in their roommates. We would really love for these two to be adopted together. Come see this duo and behold the kindness and affection they show each other!

Letters to the Editor

Heather-Lea letter

Deadly stretch of Rt. 125 needs big safety upgrades

(Continued from Page 5) with Sister Alice Martin and her brother Fatty Thomas at the keyboard for over a decade. We sing. We laugh. We cry. We rock.

We gel. We raise our voices and are learning to open our hearts, minds and spirits.

Naomi was saddened by the news of immigrant children being separated from their parents who were seeking asylum in our United States. Naomi told me, “I’ve got to do something. I’ve got to do something.” She decided to write a song. You can view Naomi playing the keyboard and singing her song on YouTube.

Type in “Naomi Sunshine sings her song: We are here to help one another through.” Naomi’s request is that this song go viral.

So please help make that happen.

Consider your action as a belated birthday present.

Jimmy Carter, also 93 years old, once taught us: “My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can, with whatever I have, to try to make a difference.”

It is now time to listen to these elders. I have been moved by their resilience and wisdom. I am grateful.

Here is Naomi Sunshine’s Anthem:

Route 125 from Middlebury until its intersection with Route 17 is approximately 20 miles long.

It is one of the routes used for the annual Kelly Brush ride. It is an essential route for employees who live in New York and work in the Middlebury area. It is also one of the scariest routes to use if you’re walking or biking because there is no room for error.

On multiple occasions I have crested one of the two knolls that are between Cider Mill Road and the Middlebury College campus only to find a pedestrian walking in the direction of traffic wearing headphones just as it’s getting dark, or cyclists riding two and three abreast

covering the east- or west-bound lane of motor traffic. I want to live in an area that encourages people to bike to work or take a walk during a lunch break. I also want it to be safe so if I crest a knoll at those points I won’t inadvertently hit someone because a drifting car is in my lane.

Depending on which estimate you pull up on Google, widening a road to include bike and pedestrian traffic heading east and west can cost between $500,000 to $1,250,000 per mile. I am hoping this letter can spawn a conversation that includes the DMV, Middlebury College and private businesses that benefit from any of the traffic that commutes along this roadway so

financial resources can be pooled to make it safer on the stretch of road between the college and Lemon Fair Road, widening it enough to provide a safer place for cyclists, pedestrians and motor vehicles to coexist. Ideally, it would be terrific if the entire stretch of road between the college and Route 17 is widened to make it possible for cyclists and cars to travel more safely simultaneously.

Vermont and its citizens are strongest when people come together to fix things that make it better for everyone. How can we make this better, sooner?

Ruth. As the chair of the board, Ruth was incredibly dedicated to the work we did, researching policy issues that came before us and scrutinizing budgets with a fine-tooth comb. She always did her homework and made sure that everyone on the board was well informed about issues before we had to make a decision. She was committed to serving the school, the children, and the taxpayers as fairly as possible. I learned so much about the workings of the school board from Ruth and could not imagine being on that board without her.

I am thrilled that she is running for a higher office and hope that

she will be able to continue serving our community in Montpelier. Ruth is smart, professional, dedicated, experienced and passionate about the things she believes in. She will advocate for our communities, our children and schools, our seniors and those most vulnerable in our society.

She will bring her wealth of policy knowledge and budgeting skills to the Statehouse on our behalf. She is the real thing and she deserves our vote.

Early voting started Sept. 21. Come November, I hope we will be sending Ruth Hardy to the Vermont Senate!

ADDISON — Bird lovers are invited to join the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department at the Dead Creek Visitor Center in Addison to learn more about bird banding and conservation.

The department is partnering with Otter Creek Audubon to host Bird Banding Week with hands-on bird banding demonstrations. Members of the public will help identify the birds, observe the banding process, and can even help release the birds after they are banded. Licensed bird bander Rodney Olsen of Vergennes will lead all banding sessions.

Songbird banding will take place from 8 a.m. to noon on Oct. 15, 16, and 20. In addition to songbird banding, there will be several stations set up to give people an opportunity to practice their bird identification and much more.

A special evening owl banding session will take place at Snake Mountain from 8 to 11 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 19. Participants are invited to come learn why conservationists band owls and about some of the techniques that are used. A brief presentation will be given every 30 minutes starting at 8 p.m. This is a popular event and participants are invited to come for

sive migration headed southward, and many people aren’t even aware of it,” said Olsen. “Dead Creek is a great location to witness this migration because Dead Creek is actually alive — it’s teeming with life.”

Bird banding is a conservation tool that helps biologists track the health of bird populations in the wild. It can also help biologists better understand bird movements to target high-priority habitats for conservation efforts.

Interested school groups are asked to contact Corey Hart ahead of time at corey.hart@vermont.gov.

The Dead Creek Visitor Center is located at 966 Route 17 in Addison.

The owl banding session will take place approximately 1.2 miles east of the intersection of Route 17 and 22A — look for the signs.

Students of the Week from area High Schools Otter Valley Union High School Mount Abraham Union High School

Otter Valley Union High School is happy to present Sam Buswell as its Student of the Week. Sam and his parents Marianne and Randall Buswell live in Brandon.

Sam has received many academic awards during his time at Otter Valley.

He has been on the Otter Valley Scholar’s Roll every marking period. In 11th grade he received the Yale Book Award, was inducted into the National Honor Society and received excellence awards for Advanced American Studies, Advanced Behavioral Science, Spanish 5, Advanced Studio Art, and FST (Functions, Statistics, and Trigonometry). In 10th grade he received excellence awards for World Geography, Advanced American History, Spanish 4, CP (College Prep) Chemistry, Health, and Literature 10, as well as excellence awards for BSCS Biology, English 9, Spanish 2, Spanish 3, and Global Studies. He has taken or is currently enrolled in all three of Otter Valley’s AP classes; Chemistry, Biology, and Literature. He has taken the most advanced courses that are available to him, including all five of OV’s Spanish classes.

Sam has been a member of the Varsity Golf Team for all four years of high school. He competed at states in 9th grade, won the sportsmanship award in 9th and 10th grade, and recently was the medalist at a match as a 12th grader.

Sam Buswell He has two paid jobs, working at Keewaydin Dunmore Camp for Boys as OVUHS a food service worker and at Neshobe Golf Club as a cart boy. He washes golf carts and helps maintain the golf course approximately 30 hours a week during the summer and 20 hours a week during the school year.

Sam enjoys several outdoor activities during his free time. His favorite pastime is skiing. He can be found on the slopes at Killington and Pico, and backcountry skiing in the foot-access terrain of Killington. He also enjoys mountain biking and playing golf.

Sam Says, “I have learned from high school that the best way to be successful is to have a reason to. Thoughts of the future have always motivated me to give my academics my all. If I was to give advice to a younger student, I would tell them to spend time pondering the future, and where they see themselves in it.”

Sam plans on focusing his college studies on Environmental Studies, with the goal of being an Environmental Lawyer.

“Samuel is a highly intelligent, perceptive young man,” says Sam’s AP Chemistry teacher Larry Gerrior. He “grew in learning, in character, in depth of understanding. He seeks truth in each and every area of his life, whether in learning, discussing philosophical ideas, or relating to his fellow students and his teachers. Because of his positive disposition, his reflective way of operating, and all of the character traits that make him so special, Samuel’s questions never go unanswered, and his searches always bring him to exciting new discoveries. Samuel is consistent, dedicated and passionate, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to work with.”

Mount Abraham Union High School has named William Wright as it’s first Student of the Week for the 2018-2019 school year. William and his parents, Doctor Vickie Backus and Wesley Wright, live in Starksboro.

William says, “I tend to base my achievements off of my own productivity that only I can measure.” That hasn’t stopped him from receiving the Rensselaer Medalist Award, given to a promising student in the fields of science and engineering, nor from consistently receiving highest honors every term. He already has AP Calculus under his belt and is tackling AP European History and AP Biology this year.

William has played on the varsity soccer team for three years. Last fall he was named to Lake Division 1st team and says, “I am currently captaining a promising young group of lads for the Fall 2018 season.”

Every year at Mt. Abe he has joined the track team, fall musical, jazz band and math league. He added the spring musical his junior year.

Preoccupied with school, extra-curriculars, skiing, club soccer and traveling, William still manages to work as a coach at Summit Soccer, a week long day camp for kids grades K-9. He also “volunteered” last year with a close friend, teaching him everything he could about singing, production, dance and percussion.

Outside of school Williams plays club soccer for Addison United, William Wright skis at Mad River Glen and Sugarbush, practices with his band, fishes, MAUHS gardens, “nerds out on Big Bang Theory,” plays the drums, dances, eats sushi, hits the gym and then the books, and discusses ways to resolve the most troubling conflicts in society.

William says, “I’ve learned through high school that failure is often more rewarding in the long run than easy success. We must all experience failure, pain, embarrassment and heartbreak to develop a perspective that will benefit us in the future, even if these negatives linger … It’s better to stand out and stick to my own morals rather than conform. Conformity nowadays is chaotic, stressful, corrupt and full of ignorance, with a complete lack of emotional intelligence … Focus on the things that will ultimately lead you toward your goals and exclude the unnecessary bits — live genuinely and explore while you can.”

After high school William plans to attend college either in New York, Boston, or locally. He’s not sure of a major, but he wants to change the world, starting with the sciences.

His teachers agree that William is a talented, reliable, generous, hardworking, humble and compassionate student. Advisor Janet Logan-Robnett sums it up best: “Perfect human being would define Will. He cares deeply for others and values the importance of learning. Throughout his high school education he has advocated for a meaningful, authentic education.” He has researched, contemplated and planned his post secondary options so he can pursue a career of purpose and interest. In addition he excels on the soccer field and stage.

Otter Valley Students of the week receive a gift certificate from the Book & Leaf Bookstore. Mt. Abe Students receive a free pizza from Cubbers. Students of the Week from ALL area high schools will receive a gift certificate from Vermont Book Shop and Rte. 7 South Sandwich Co. Students of the Week are chosen by school teachers and administration.

Fall is a great time to get out and fish

Addison Independent, Monday, September 24, 2018 — PAGE 19

MONTPELIER — Vermont is renowned for its colorful fall foliage but fall also offers some of the best fishing opportunities of the year according to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. Water temperatures are cooling. Fewer people on the water means more solitude, so bass and northern pike go on feeding binges. And lake trout, landlocked salmon, brown trout, and brook trout are preparing to spawn.

The cooler water temperatures of fall stimulate Vermont’s largemouth and smallmouth bass as well as northern pike to feed heavily, bringing some of the best fishing of the year at a time when you won’t see much competition from other anglers.

“Bass fishing heats up as water temperatures cool down,” said COOLER WATER TEMPERATURES in fall offer some of Vermont’s best fishing of the year with increased opportunities for bass, northern pike, Bernie Pientka, a fisheries biologist with Vermont Fish & Wildlife. “If trout and landlocked salmon.

Photo by Tom Rogers you would like to get in on some unbelievable fishing, you need to get out on the water this fall. Lake Champlain, and lakes St. Catherine, Morey, Bomoseen, Hortonia, and Seymour have fantastic fishing for both largemouth and smallmouth bass as well as other species, and the bass season doesn’t end on most lakes until Nov. 30.”

Several species that are typically difficult to catch without boats and CALEB ELDER MARI CORDES specialized equipment become more predictable and easier to catch as they start migrating toward spawning areas. Lake trout move onto their spawning reefs, often close to shore, in mid-October and will be there until mid-November. Places to target them on Lake Champlain include the ledges off Button Bay State Park, Arnold’s Bay and the west shore of Grand Isle.

Even though steelhead spawn in the spring, some will often begin migrating into their spawning rivers in the fall, such as Lewis Creek in North Ferrisburgh and the Black and Willoughby Rivers in the Northeast For Addison- 4 State Representative – Bristol, Lincoln, Monkton, Starksboro Kingdom.

Landlocked Atlantic salmon migrate in the fall into several Lake Champlain rivers and provide shorebased river fisheries. Try the Salmon Hole on the Winooski River, below • Community centered renewable energy Peterson Dam on the Lamoille River and the west shore of Grand Isle.

Ferrisburgh rewarded with donation of a solar array

By ANDY KIRKALDY FERRISBURGH — One of three sites in Ferrisburgh could be the

home of a 15-kilowatt solar array that a solar firm has offered to the town. The sites under consideration

are the Ferrisburgh fire station, town-owned land next to town offices, and the parcel at the junction of

Routes 7 and 22A White River Junction firm groSolar will donate that array, which the Ferrisburgh selectboard last week said could cover between one-quarter to one-half of an acre.

The donation comes as a gesture of good will after the town supported groSolar and Green Mountain Power’s joint Public Utilities Commission application for a Certificate of Public Good for a 4.99-megawatt array planned for the intersection of Greenbush Road and Route 7.

When GMP came aboard last fall it also added a Tesla battery “micro-grid” to the plan, one that company officials said can store eight megawatt hours of power and is similar to that being installed in Panton.

Ferrisburgh selectboard Chairman Rick Ebel on Thursday said groSolar typically also makes the offer of a smaller solar array to towns in which the firm successfully does business, “because there’s a lot they have to do around permitting, particularly at the state level, just to pave the way and garner support in towns.”

Ebel said the board was impressed

when groSolar made its presentation at the site, particularly with use of topography and plantings to minimize its visual impact.

“GroSolar is a company that does a really good job with siting and plantings,” he said.

Ebel echoed a comment at the Sept. 18 selectboard meeting from resident and real estate broker Carl Cole, who works with groSolar on array siting.

“As Carl said, the driver shouldn’t be able to see it heading north on Route 7 if they’re paying attention to the road,” Ebel said.

The board agreed to accept the array and not a $40,000 cash payment.

“We do want to look at an installation,” Ebel said.

A site to the rear of the Route 7 fire station lot, suggested by Selectman Red Muir, met with what may have been the best reception at the Sept. 18 meeting.

The board decided to ask groSolar representative Lincoln Lande to evaluate the fire station lot and stake out where an array of that size could be placed, thus allowing board members (See Solar array, Page 21)

Town considers new insurance coverage United Way of Addison County 24th Annual

Days of Caring GREAT THINGS HAPPEN WHEN WE LIVE UNITED September 27 & 29 United Way of Addison County will be honoring Tracy Corbett at the end of our first Day of Caring (Sept 27th) and invite all who love and miss her to join us. Tracy was UWAC’s Volunteer Coordinator and was a tremendous advocate for volunteerism. To honor that, we are inviting our Days of Caring volunteers and the general public to the Middlebury Green on 9/27 from 4pm-6pm for a casual evening of food and music.

Thanks to a generous gift from Bruce & Michele Bayliss, Days of Caring Volunteers will eat free! Porky’s Backyard BBQ and Mediterranean Mix will be there.

By ANDY KIRKALDY FERRISBURGH — At their Sept. 18 meeting, members of the Ferrisburgh selectboard discussed a potential site for a town-owned solar array (see story above).

In other business on Sept. 18, the Ferrisburgh selectboard: • Agreed to pursue a quote from Travelers Insurance, through the Williston Insurance Agency, for all the town’s insurance coverage.

Agency representatives said other towns, including Burlington and Milton, have saved money by switching to Travelers from PACIF, which is affiliated with the Vermont League of Cities and Towns.

• Decided to contact the Kelly Brush Foundation about a safety issue. Board members said at least one Route 7 intersection, with Greenbush Road, was covered by flaggers instead of law enforcement officers and a cruiser during the foundation’s Sept.

8 annual charity ride. Board members

said law enforcement presence at the intersection was a precondition of giving the foundation permission to go through the town, and other nonprofits running similar events had met that condition.

Board members said faulty communication or an oversight could be the issue, but said they might also establish a policy on the question to ensure safety in the future.

Lack of law enforcement at some intersections is “just a recipe for making a big mess in a hurry,” said Selectman Jim Benoit.

• Heard from selectboard Chairman Rick Ebel that Agency of Transportation officials had told him that the rail depot near the VTrans park-and-ride lot would at some point soon get further renovations to allow occupancy, but that the agency was still seeking a nonprofit tenant to occupy its second story. Its use as a train station is probably still “three to five years out,” Ebel said.

Talk on colonial meetinghouses set FERRISBURGH — Colonial meetinghouses dot Vermont’s landscape, some vacant, some still in use. In their heyday they served a crucial role in New England’s early settlements. Photographer Paul Wainwright will discuss their role in the community on Sunday, Oct. 14, from 2-4 p.m., at the Ferrisburgh Town Office and Community Center on Route 7.

New England’s colonial meetinghouses embody an important yet little-known chapter in American history. Built mostly with tax money, they served as both places of

worship and places for town meetings, and were the centers of life in colonial New England communities.

Using photographs of the few surviving “mint condition” meetinghouses as illustrations, Wainwright tells the story of the society that built and used them, and the lasting impact they have had on American culture.

Selectman Steve Gutowski asked his colleagues not to rule out the property right next to and south of town offices, which consists of a home and a lot. Ebel said later last week the board would not rule it out even though the fact the property is rented could pose complications.

“I might have Lincoln look at that one, too, and show us what it would look like,” he said. “The town does own the land, but there is someone living there.”

Cole said he would prefer a less prominent site for aesthetic reasons, and that the location next to town hall should be reserved for future town use. But Gutowski noted that solar arrays are not permanent, with a typical life of 25 years, and expansion potential would be preserved.

Cole agreed with the board that the north end of the town-owned 34.91acre parcel at the junction of Routes 7 and 22A could be a good site, although not the cheapest to develop because it would be difficult to bring three-phase power to it. He said he believed the Vermont Land Trust, which oversees conservation easements on the parcel, might agree to sign off on a solar array that benefitted a property owner such as the town.

Ebel said there is no specific timetable for a decision.

Job training, classes offered in the area MIDDLEBURY — The Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center, together with Vermont Adult Learning, United Way of Addison County and the Vermont Department of Labor has launched VT YouthWorks, a new workforce development program for Addison County area youth age 18-24.

The program is designed to help underemployed and out-of-school young adults enter the workforce or complete their high school or college education. VT YouthWorks wants to create a pathway to employment for young adults that will give them multiple options for continued work and study and build partnerships among support services, employers and Addison County 18-24-year-olds that meet local employment needs.

The program consists of 24 weeks of paid, part-time work beginning Oct. 15, in Middlebury.

Participating students may enter the program with or without a high school diploma. As they complete career readiness and on-the-job training, these students can earn up to $4,800 over 24 weeks.

The program runs in three progressive modules: • 4-week career introduction, Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., starting Oct. 15.

• 8-week career exploration, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. starting Nov. 12.

• 12-week work experience, (schedule varies depending on industry track).

Technical training covers several subjects: Visual Communications, Building Trades, Automotive, Health and Administrative Assistant. Participants can earn industry certifications in Forklift, OSHA, Serve Safe and CPR. Other certificates and training will be provided based on each student’s interest and career path.

“We have designed the program with three progressive modules with the intention that all students complete the entire 24-week program,” said David Roberts, regional director of Vermont Adult Learning in Middlebury. “Students who may only be able to complete the first one or two modules are still encouraged to apply.”

The program is accepting applications now, with applications due Oct. 5. To schedule an appointment to begin the application process or to learn additional information, call 802-388-4392 or contact VT YouthWorks Program Coordinator Kristen Andrews at kandrews@ vtadultlearning.org.

MUHS boys score late, trip up host Mt. Abe

By ANDY KIRKALDY BRISTOL — The Middlebury Union High School boys’ soccer team put pressure on host Mount Abraham for most of Saturday’s game, but it took the Tigers almost 70 minutes to crack the Eagle back line in a 2-0 victory.

Junior center midfielder Eben Jackson, who helped the Tigers gain a territorial advantage through crisp passing and aggressive work to bottle up the Eagles “We were in their own end, scored the late getting it goals. wide and MUHS Jackson creditit really ed his goals to the spread out MUHS game plan their back of pressuring the Eagle defensive line, and clearing attempts it opened and, when the up gaps Tigers possessed, in the attacking from middle.” the flanks.

“It let us keep — Eben Jackson the ball in their half, and they didn’t get than many chances on our goal. It really kept us playing offense the whole time,” Jackson said. “We were getting it wide and it really spread out their back line, and it opened up gaps in the middle.”

MUHS Coach Reeves Livesay said the Tigers, who improved to 3-2-1 against a tough early schedule, like to play a pressing style, but said he made it a point of emphasis for Saturday’s game.

“We try to press teams. It was cer-

tainly something we talked about for this game. We thought there was going to be an opportunity to really

put their backs under pressure and win the ball high up on the field,” Livesay said.

First-year Eagle Coach Bobby Russell said his team had good moments, especially early in the

second half, but acknowledged the Tiger approach paid off.

By ANDY KIRKALDY BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Union High School broke through for two early goals and controlled most of the action in what could be a pivotal victory on Saturday, 2-1, over visiting Middlebury.

The win moved the Eagles to 3-3-1 and came after a disappointing loss at Spaulding four days earlier, when they had the run of play, but lost, 2-0.

Other than scoring twice in their opener and then four times against 0-7 Missisquoi, the Eagles had scored once and been shut out three times in their other four outings.

Junior midfielder and tri-captain Mae Peterson, whose Saturday goal about eight minutes in made it 2-0, said she hopes Saturday’s game can mark a turning point.

“I’m hoping we’re out of our rut and going uphill from here … We’ve

lost because we haven’t been able to finish, so we’ve really been working on it in practice,” Peterson said. “So hopefully we’ll be starting to put them in.”

Eagle Coach Dustin Corrigan said just two goals a game would more often than not that would be enough to win. He pointed to the Spaulding game, which Mount Abe lost, 2-0, despite outshooting the Tide by 15-4.

On Saturday Corrigan said he saw some of the team’s focus on transitioning to the attack and finishing pay off.

“We started to do some nice stuff,” he said. “Especially in the first part of the game when we scored twice we were doing it really well.”

Soccer (Continued from Page 23) “I feel like coming out in the second half we adjusted well and had the front foot there. And then toward the last quarter of the game there they took a foothold, and we had a little trouble replicating our movements forward,” Russell said.

“And they took their chances well.”

The Tigers outshot the Eagles, 22-3, and held a 6-3 edge in corner kicks, although the corners were 3-3 after the break as the Eagles held their own until the late Tiger surge.

In the first half the Tigers established their template for “Ultimately success.

Russell the There Jackson and fellow central middie Owen Palcsik keyed the Tiger ball movement.

But the Tigers didn’t break through. Eagle center back Kai Dobek was sensational all game, particularly in keeping Tiger striker Tucker Moulton in check, and center back Owen Maille and Sam Schoenhuber and Griffin Paradee on the flanks also played well.

Eagle goalie Ethan DeWitt made nine saves and came out quickly to break up services. He an early Jackson shot and beat middie David Peters to a Jackson feed.

DeWitt got help in the 35th minute, when a 40-yard Jackson shot hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced out.

The Eagles’ best chance of the half came on a late Angus Schwaneflugel cross that sailed just out of striker Weston Allred’s reach.

Early in the second DeWitt blocked Moulton’s shot from the left side. Then the Eagles finally got a couple shots off, an Allred header on a corner kick that went wide and a Paradee bid on a Takumi Melchior serve that Lucas Palcsik collared for his only save.

Then the Tigers began to turn up the pressure again, and Dobek made a ridiculous kick save on a Moulton blast with the goal open,

after which Crawford broke up an Eagle counter.

Finally Jackson’s game-winner solved the Eagle back line. Jackson picked up a loose ball near the top right corner of the box, beat two defenders toward the middle and pounded a shot back inside the right post at 10:31.

The Eagles countered again, but Crawford again broke up a rush, and then he and Kearns headed the ball away on the following corner kick. Then Crawford headed the ball out of trouble on a restart, and soon afterward Jackson iced the game. The Tigers served from the left to Hunter Munteanu at the right post. Munteanu and a defender battled, and the ball popped to Jackson, who poked a short shot into the left corner at 3:09.

Russell said the Eagles would work on their transition game, and said despite the outcome he didn’t

think there was “a big disparity” between the teams.

“There were stretches where it looked like we had the front foot,” he said. “Ultimately they just had more than we did, and they did well. They deserved the victory.”

Livesay said the Tigers are beginning to gel and also praised the Eagles’ effort.

Mount Abe always plays hard.

They always give us a good game.

They worked right up to the end, and they certainly made it tough for us,” he said.

Jackson said a Tuesday tie at Rutland, which had beaten South Burlington, and Saturday’s performance should give a left to the Tigers, who earned the No. 5 seed in Division I in 2017.

“We’re starting to play well,” he said. “I think we’re feeling good, almost like we can win out the rest of the season.”

Field hockey: Eagles, Otters keep winning

ADDISON COUNTY — In area high school field hockey play late last week Mount Abraham and Otter Valley kept up their winning ways, but Middlebury came up short on the road.

EAGLES The Eagles improved to 5-0-1 and remained atop Division II with

a 2-0 home win over Burlington on Saturday. Mount Abe got goals from Evan Laurent and Molly Laurent, and goalie Chessley Jackman made one save. Neema Modeste made 14 saves for the 0-4-1 Seahorses.

OTTERS On Wednesday OV got sec-

ond-half goals from Sophie Markowski and Riley Keith to top visiting St. Johnsbury, 2-0.

Ellie Ross worked a seven-save shutout in goal for OV, and St. J goalie Elizabeth Mastianna made nine stops.

On Saturday OV (5-1) kept pace with Mount Abe in D-II with a

6-0 win at Springfield (0-4). Alia Edmunds scored twice, and Megan LaPorte, Brittney Jackson, Alice Keith and Riley Keith added a goal apiece. Ross worked a twosave shutout, and Cosmo goalie Anna Church made 14 saves. OV hosts third-place Woodstock on Wednesday.

TIGERS On Saturday host Mount Mansfield denied the Tigers their first win, 2-0, by scoring two quick second-half goals.

MMU goalie Amelia Sanborn made four saves, and Tiger goalies Ileigh Aube and Cassie Bettis combined for nine stops.

Girls (Continued from Page 25) early onslaught, she said, and she saw flashes of good midfield and attacking play, notably on Ivy Doran’s late goal. But Leeds would like to see more consistency from her young team.

“I thought we brought our intensity up at the end of the first half and then had more strong play in the second half,” Leeds said. “I don’t know if we lose focus or what happens, but there’s kind of a drop-off in our play, and we’re obviously working on that.”

The Eagles took the lead 32 seconds in, when junior midfielders Becca Laurent and Chloe Johnston, both of whom had strong games on the flank, combined. Johnston sent Laurent down the right side, and Laurent gained a step on the defense.

She served toward the back post from near the sideline, and possibly aided by the breeze her blast soared over Tiger first-half goalie Carly Burger, just under the crossbar, and into the far netting.

Seven minutes later a play that started on the right side ended with the ball bouncing to Peterson, about 24 yards straight out from the Tiger net. Peterson laced a shot into the lower right corner, again giving Burger (two saves) no chance.

The Tigers developed some possession as the half went on, with forward/midfielders Ada Anderson and Merry Kimble and midfielder Ivy Doran creating chances for striker Isadora Luksch, in particular.

But for the most part Peterson and her Eagle center middie running mate Addy Harris consistently won the ball and distributed it well as the Eagles outshot the Tigers, 8-3 in the half and 20-6 overall.

“They’ve been great all year.

They’re so good winning the ball there,” Corrigan said.

Burger came out to deny Laurent in the 18th minute, her best save, and Eagle goalie Justice Green (two saves) stopped Anderson late in the half.

Tiger second-half goalie Julia Bartlett made seven saves, at one point denying both Laurent and a Johnston rebound from point-blank.

Kimble ripped a shot 10 minutes in, but the Eagle defense knocked it down: Emma Campbell and Eliana Ginsburg in the middle and Grace Harvey and Savannah Scrodin on the flanks all played well.

The Tigers had chances. Scrodin broke up a Kimble bid, and Anderson hit the crossbar. They finally broke

chance the rest of the way: Harris headed the ball off the right post on a Peterson corner kick.

Leeds saw progress in the sound defense and flashes of good play up the field.

“We’re still sort of figuring things out. I was happy overall. I think with the exception of a few of those dropoffs in intensity we played closer to 80 minutes today,” she said. “And I think we’re still getting better every game, which is the goal.”

Peterson said as well as scoring the Eagles’ ball movement played a big role in Saturday’s game.

“We’re passing and making those triangles, and that’s really our game,” Peterson said. “Our touches were working for us.”

Overall, Corrigan said he is encouraged.

“We’ve got a good group here.

They stick together. They’re very positive,” he said. “And the goals are starting to come.”

Soccer wrap: VUHS boys, OV girls win

ADDISON COUNTY — In local high school soccer action late last week, the Vergennes boys won, the Otter Valley girls split two games, and the OV boys and VUHS girls were defeated.

The Mount Abraham boys and girls’ teams hosted MUHS on Saturday; see stories.

VUHS BOYS On Saturday the Commodores got a first-half goal from Josias

Salomao and eight saves from Cam McLaughlin in a 1-0 win at Missisquoi. Goalie Kyle Gilbert stopped two shots for MVU (3-2-2). VUHS move to 2-4 and will host MUHS on Tuesday.

OV GIRLS On Wednesday host Green Mt. Union improved to 5-1 with a 3-0 win over the Otter girls. Leah Pinkowski had a strong defensive game for OV.

On Friday the Tigers bounced back with a 5-0 victory over visiting Twin Valley. Olivia White scored three times for OV, and Julia Eastman picked up a goal and an assist.

Mia Politano also scored as the Otters improved to 2-5.

OV BOYS On Saturday host Mill River topped the OV boys, 3-1. MRU freshman Tyler Corey notched a hat trick. Reilly Shannon converted a

breakaway for the Otters, who fell to 1-5.

VUHS GIRLS Host Rice hung on for a 2-1 win over the VUHS girls on Friday.

Rice got both its goals early in the second half before Emily Rooney put VUHS on the board shortly afterward.

Rice goalie Maddie Houston made six saves, while Kate Gosliga stopped three shots for the 2-3-1 Commodores.

ADDISON COUNTY — In local high school football, all on Friday night Middlebury, won on the road, while OV lost on the road and Mount Abraham/Vergennes dropped a home heartbreaker.

TIGERS MUHS topped host BFA-St. Albans, 28-6, taking a 28-0 lead before allowing a late touchdown. Both teams stood at 2-2 after the result. The Tigers will host Rutland, an upset winner over Hartford this past weekend, on Friday at 7 p.m.

Simon Fischer’s 17-yard run gave the Tigers a 6-0 lead at the half. Quarterback Tim Goettelmann tossed a 27-yard TD pass to Bode Rubright late in the third period, and in the fourth Goettelmann ran in a score from two yards out and Ian Ploof added a five-yard run.

Tyler Buxton led MUHS with 109 yards rushing on 10 carries, and CJ Bryant added 86 yards on 13 attempts as the Tigers rolled up about 300 yards on the ground.

For BFA Colby Brouillette ran for 49 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown.

EAGLES The host Eagles were threatening to take the lead early in the fourth quarter, trailing 16-14, when a costly fumble at the Lyndon 6 led to a Brandon Stone’s 94-yard touchdown return and a 22-14 deficit. That score held up as the final as Mount Abe/VUHS dropped to 1-3 and the Vikings improved to 3-1. The Eagles will visit Milton on Friday.

Lyndon took an 8-6 lead when QB Steven Ferraro hit Peyton Barlow for a 37-yard touchdown pass late in the first half.

The Eagles, who also fumbled inside the Lyndon 10 in the first half, made it 8-6 just before halftime on a 21-yard TD pass from QB Parker Hines to Jacob Thomas.

The teams traded scores before the decisive fumble return.

Ferraro tossed a 20-yard TD to Stone and Ira White scored on a 12-yard reverse to make it 16-14.

Hines rushed for 81 yards for the Eagles, and Nevin Jemison picked up 68. For Lyndon, Ferraro rushed for 111 yards on 20 carries.

OTTERS Host U-32 ran over OV, 52-7, as the Raiders improved to 3-1.

The Otters dropped to 1-3.

OV’s highlight came in the second quarter, when QB Tyler Rowe tossed a short TD pass to Chandler Corey, a play that followed a long completion to Dylan Mackie.

OV will visit Bellows Falls on Saturday.

Habitat (Continued from Page 1) a large chunk of their household income in rent for a space that can’t comfortably accommodate them and their bustling brood.

Ed Shackett, who works for Bridport-based S.G. Construction Inc., recently heard from a neighbor that Habitat was looking for a family to occupy a new home in Cornwall, the last of four abodes the organization is developing at the Carothers Road site. Habitat in 2011 worked with the town of Cornwall and several donors to advance the planned unit development on a 13-acre parcel, of which 11 acres will remain open.

The Shacketts went through Habitat’s standard application process, through which their income level, credit history and other related background were reviewed. Under Habitat’s income guidelines, a family of eight can qualify for a home if they have a household income of between $48,438 and $67,813. The family must be able to show a “stable employment history, evidence of an ability to manage money responsibly, and the ability to make monthly house payments of approximately $700 to $800 a month.”

Habitat raises the money for the home, builds it, then transfers the expense to the family through a zero-interest mortgage.

Each of the adults in the family must also put in a minimum of 200 hours into the construction of the new, 1,175-square-foot home. Ed Shackett said he and his wife have both already exceeded the “sweat equity” require-

ment. The home is scheduled to be completed by this Thanksgiving.

And the home will be perpetually affordable; those who purchase Habitat homes can’t flip them for a huge profit.

The family was thrilled to earn a tentative OK. The children are excited to have a yard in which to play and put up a swing set.

“We’re very excited,” Shackett said. “We’re glad to know (the home) will be ours forever.”

That kind of reaction is music to the ears of Habitat volunteers, who have devoted each of their Wednesdays (and some weekend time) over the past six months to make the new affordable home become a reality.

Mickey Heinecken is the current leader of this self-proclaimed band of “ancients,” who range in age from around 60 to 82. They come from diverse backgrounds. Heinecken was a successful football coach at Middlebury College. Roth “T” Tall was a longtime financial planner and fundraiser in the nonprofit world.

Most of them never worked in construction before, and are thus grateful to have Harold Strassner on their team. His resume includes 28 years in facilities management at Middlebury College, followed by a teaching stint in the industrial arts department of the Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center.

“We’re nowhere without Harold,” Heinecken said of Strassner’s skill and building knowledge. “All of us, as volunteers, can do the labor aspects of putting a house together if we know we’re doing it right.”

(Continued from Page 1) Ferrisburgh selectboard meeting she gathered about 500 signatures on two petitions seeking traffic lights at the crossroads, and an accident there in June injured residents Charles and Diane Gottlieb, Diane Gottlieb badly.

“The good news is we are on a path to improve safety at that intersection,” said ACRPC Executive Director Adam Lougee in an email. “The study I hope will give us the best path forward.”

VTrans Planning Coordinator Sommer Roefaro Bucossi wrote in a Sept.

12 memo discussed at last week’s Ferrisburgh selectboard meeting that the agency met internally after an Aug. 29 teleconference with Ferrisburgh and ACRPC officials.

In it, Bucossi wrote, “During the internal meeting, VTrans decided to take on the role of conducting an alternative analyses/scoping study for this intersection. Given our current project selection criteria this will allow the project to be programmed most efficiently. The agency will engage ACRPC and the community in this analysis. I understand there are many concerned citizens eager to see improvements to this intersection, namely a traffic signal. However, the Traffic and Safety Budget is such that the project is likely to not be constructed for at least three years.”

In an email to the Independent, Lougee said lights will not necessarily be the study outcome. Even though the Ferrisburgh petitions specifically request signals, regional planners prefer a roundabout because it would keep traffic moving and conform to existing long-range plans.

“The Addison County Regional Plan and the Western Corridor Study both call for use of roundabouts on non-signalized portions of Route 7,” Lougee wrote. “As Middlebury, Barre/ Montpelier and a number of other high-volume locations around Vermont have demonstrated, roundabouts can safely control large volumes of traffic with the additional benefit of not requiring vehicles to stop. Because the vehicles generally slow, but are not required to stop for a fixed period of time, roundabouts help to maintain the speed and volume of traffic.”

At the Sept. 18 selectboard meeting Ferrisburgh’s representative to the ACRPC Transportation Advisory Committee, Steve Huffaker, said he was encouraged

by VTrans willingness to take over the process.

Huffaker said VTrans’ direct action would be quicker than waiting for completion of an advisory committee process that would mean selecting from competing projects within the county and could “slow down” intersection upgrades.

Still, officials acknowledged the timetable is not fast. In an email responding to Bucossi’s memo, Lougee said it included mixed news.

“The good news is that VTrans will begin studying the intersection and look to construct a solution,” Lougee wrote. “The bad news is that the study and engineering will take some time and the design improvements to make the intersection safer will probably not be constructed for three years.”

Labor (Continued from Page 26) construction professionals that help Habitat produce energy efficient homes at affordable mortgage rates to families of limited means. Supporting Addison County businesses, too numerous to mention in this space, are providing materials and tools at cost, and in some cases for free.

All four of the Cornwall Habitat homes were designed by local architect Jean Terwilliger of Vermont Integrated Architecture.

Efficiency Vermont works with Habitat to make sure each home is weather tight and equipped with an efficient heating system. The newest home is of double-wall construction and has a heat exchanger powered by electricity. It has copious amounts of insulation and triple-glazed windows.

“Because Habitat homes are as close to net zero as we can get, their annual heating costs might approach what they were paying in a single month,” said Tall, a longtime Habitat volunteer. “Hence, their annual savings, like their mortgage, can easily reach into the thousands. Wish I could say that about my house.”

“This house has been optimized,” Heinecken added of the effort to leave the occupants with as small a fuel bill as possible.

This is the fifth Habitat home on which Strassner has toiled.

At age 74 he has no plans to slow down.

“I love to build houses,” said Strassner. “As long as Mickey keeps finding places to build and he can keep doing it, I’ll keep doing it.”

MICKEY HEINECKEN IS one of around a dozen Habitat for Humanity of Addison County volunteers who are working on a new affordable home for an eight-member family currently renting in Middlebury. The house is one of four Habitat homes in a subdivision in Cornwall.

Habitat for Humanity of Addison County will next shift its focus to a project off Middlebury’s Seymour Street. The group is always looking for low-cost or free land on which to erect new homes. And the Habitat board is constantly looking for prospective homeowners. Habitat will host two upcoming information sessions for folks interested in qualifying for an affordable home.

The first session is scheduled for

Tuesday, Oct. 2, 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Middlebury Recreation Facility off Creek Road.

The second session will be held at Bixby Memorial Library on Thursday, Oct. 4, 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Porter (Continued from Page 1) ect at the Middlebury institution that provides short-term rehabilitation and long-term health and memory care.

The work at Helen Porter has produced: • Two specially designed suites for terminally ill patients, thanks to support from a non-profit organization called Addison Respite Care Home (ARCH). The ARCH amenities place terminally ill patients close to the services they need and provide a home-like environment in which to live their final days in dignity.

Each suite is around 500 square feet in size and includes a patient bed, a pullout bed for overnight guests, a restroom equipped to serve the disabled, a visiting area, and a kitchenette with microwave.

Both suites have natural light and a view into the Helen Porter courtyard.

“To me, it’s just like a studio apartment,” Helen Porter Administrator Mary Jane Nottonson said during a tour of one of the ARCH suites. “I don’t know of any other places like it in Vermont. We believe it’s a very special resource for our community.”

Porter Medical Center campus now hosts three ARCH suites and one ARCH room.

• Seven new private rooms for patients. These are the first private rooms ever at Helen Porter. Five of those rooms are designated for patients rehabbing following medical procedures.

• Better flow to the Helen Porter gym, which now has more storage space.

• Increased privacy for patients undergoing physical therapy. These designated rooms are now enclosed by walls, as opposed to partitions.

• Improved rehab facilities and related equipment, including a complete kitchen for patients to re-learn simple cooking skills and household chores. The kitchen even features windows, which patients can raise and lower as practice for when they return to their own homes. There’s also a set of stairs, a walking station with rail supports, and plastic balls of all sizes to practice dexterity and pliability exercises.

“We’re trying to simulate the home environment as much as possible,” said Doreen Kadric, director of rehabilitation services at Helen Porter.

“In particular, the new rehab therapy space will really allow us to enhance the physical, occupational and speech therapy we’re providing to our folks,” Nottonson added.

• Three “touchdown” stations that are recessed into the walls of the rehab wing. Around the size of a closet, each station has a sink for hand washing and a computer to discreetly type in patient information.

Nottonson noted those computers used to be mounted on the hallway wall, thus contributing to occasional bottlenecks in the walking aisles.

• A living room area for rehab-

bing patients, equipped with seating and basic kitchen services.

She beamed as she showcased highlights of the project, which involved a combined total of 11,300 square feet at Helen Porter, a single-story building erected 25 years ago to serve as the county’s nursing home. The center has in recent years taken on the added role of a rehab center, a more lucrative endeavor offering recently discharged hospital patients the physical, speech and/ or occupational therapies they need before they can return home for independent living.

The project cost around $900,000, with two-thirds of that sum related to the rehabilitation center upgrades, according to Porter spokesman Ron Hallman. The Addison County community donated $400,000 to the cause, including $150,000 raised by the Porter Medical Center Auxiliary.

A separate fund drive that included ARCH supporters netted around $250,000, according to Hallman.

The rest was financed by Porter.

The project demonstrates Porter Medical Center’s commitment to Helen Porter Rehabilitation and Nursing and its role in cradle-tograve services at the county’s health care campus, Hallman noted.

“The strategic importance of this ties into our population health strategy,” he said. “It recognizes the importance of Helen Porter in the continuum of care, all the way from the birthing center, through the hospital, our outpatient practices, nursing home, and end-of-life care.

“You don’t have a continuum if you don’t have the end,” Hallman added. “We need to make sure Helen Porter is strong and has all the services the community needs.”

The prize is a collaboration between GMP and “Vermont Magazine” and is a chance for writers in Vermont to share their creativity, perspective and love for Vermont. The award was created as a way to honor Ralph Nading Hill, Jr. who was a Vermont historian, author, and long-time GMP Board member.

“It is always so fascinating to read the winning entries each year,” said Dotty Schnure, who spearheads the contest for GMP. “Local authors have so much talent, and their work always highlights the best of the spirit of Vermont.”

The deadline for this year’s Vermont Writers’ Prize is Nov. 1, 2018.

Grouse and woodcock season opens Sept. 29

MONTPELIER — The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department has designated the hunting seasons for ruffed grouse and woodcock for this year. Ruffled grouse season runs from Sept. 29 through Dec. 31 and the woodcock hunting season runs from Oct. 1 to Nov. 14. The department notes that the key to hunting success is to find suitable habitat for these upland game birds.

Woodcock are often found in alders along brooks and near beaver ponds as well as in

new-growth small timber where old fields are reverting to forest. Ruffed grouse also frequent the same habitat, and they are particularly fond of the apples they find under wild apple trees.

Regulations require woodcock hunters to make sure their shotgun is capable of holding no more than three shells, and they must register for the federal Harvest Information Program on Vermont Fish & Wildlife’s website at vtfishandwildlife.com or by calling toll-free

1-877-306-7091.

“This could very well be one of our better grouse hunting seasons due to our dry spring and summer weather probably contributing to good survival of grouse chicks,” said Mark Scott, Vermont’s director of wildlife.

For regulations and more information on hunting in Vermont, be sure to get a copy of the 2018 Hunting & Trapping Guide available from license agents statewide and the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department at 802-828-1000 or fwinformation@vermont.gov. A digital version of the Guide is

also on the department’s website. Hunting licenses are available from the website and from agents throughout the state.

Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom and the Green Mountain National Forest offer large expanses of huntable land and plenty of excellent grouse and woodcock habitat.

Several state wildlife management areas (WMAs) in the Northeast Kingdom and other sections of the state offer excellent public hunting opportunities. Descriptions and maps of the WMAs are provided on Vermont Fish & Wildlife’s website.

Expert to offer insights on income tax policy, equality MIDDLEBURY — The income tax is fundamental both to the fiscal health of the United States and to efforts to promote equality in after-tax income. However, the ability and willingness of the federal government to tax income broadly have waned over the past 40 years.

Professor Andrew A. Samwick of Dartmouth College will address this important issue when he delivers the D. K. Smith ’42 Fall 2018 Economics Lecture next week.

The lecture, which Samwick titled “Income Tax Policy and Economic Growth,” will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 26, beginning at 4:30 p.m.

It will take place in the Robert A. Jones ’59 House Conference Room on the Middlebury College campus.

In this lecture Samwick, an Economics professor and director of Dartmouth’s Nelson A. Rockefeller Center, will briefly: • review the history of efforts to make taxes more fair, focusing on the arguments that have been used to undermine the income tax, • identify the key moments where policy changed and the wrong lessons were learned, and • discuss alternative strategies that may lead to better outcomes going forward.

Dr. Samwick will then consider the economic impact of President Trump’s recently passed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including on the

ANDREW A. SAMWICK concepts of budget balance, the appropriate definition of income under an income tax, the link between tax policy and economic growth, and the unique challenges that may be posed for fiscal policy as the Baby Boom generation fully enters retirement.

Samwick graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University in 1989, and earned his PhD at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He is very active in the academic community.
