Senate, Addison-4 hopefuls talk issues

By JOHN FLOWERS BRISTOL — Candidates in two of the most keenly watched legislative races in Addison County sparred one last time in Bristol on Oct. 17, in the last in a series of debates co-sponsored by the Addison County Economic Development Corp., the Addison County Chamber of Commerce and the Addison Independent.

Candidates for the State Senate and Addison-4 House district sought to differentiate themselves on a wide range of topics, including health care, the economy, gun safety and marijuana legislation. An audience of around 40 people listened intently to the candidates’ responses in an effort to get some additional insights prior to casting their ballots on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

The most improbable moment of the two-hour event came near the end, when Paul Ralston — an independent candidate for one of the (See Debate, Page 25)

VUHS students raise $4K for an injured classmate

By MARIN HOWELL LINCOLN — On Monday morning, Oct. 15, 60 seniors from Vergennes Union High School walked 8.7 miles through Starksboro and Lincoln in support of their classmate, Michael Alexopolous, and the Love Your Brain Foundation.

The walk marked the 11th time VUHS seniors walked for a charity tied to a greater Vergennes community member; the annual tradition started in 2008. This year’s walk raised $4,000.

Four months prior to the walk, Alexopolous — who suffered a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, as a child — approached his classmates and asked them to walk for him and Love Your Brain, an organization that educates people about TBIs and offers retreats for those with TBIs. The class voted unanimously to dedicate their walk to Alexopoulos

and the organization he proposed.

The class also invited Love Your Brain co-founder Kevin Pearce, a former world-class snowboarder who suffered a TBI in a 2009 training accident, to speak at an allschool assembly on Oct. 9.

Many of his classmates grew up with Alexopoulos and watched him adapt to life with a TBI that resulted from a car crash when he was 5 years old.

Senior Sydney Tarte said the class’ relationship with Alexopolous, whom his classmates call “Mikey,” is what made his cause a clear choice for the walk.

“We dedicated this walk to Mikey because we have walked hand-inhand with him from kindergarten to senior year. He’s always supported us, so when choosing what to walk for, Mikey was the obvious choice,” Tarte said.

SIXTY MEMBERS OF the VUHS class of 2019 begin their 8.7-mile walk for charity on Oct. 15 from Starksboro to Lincoln’s Zeno Mountain Farm.

This year’s annual walk, in honor of class member Michael Alexopolous, raised about $4,000 on behalf of the work Zeno Mountain Farm and the Love Your Brain Foundation are doing for people with traumatic brain injuries.

AMONG THE 60 VUHS seniors who participated in the annual class charity walk-a-thon on Oct. 15 in Starksboro and Lincoln were Rachel Leete (in front), and (back, left to right) Nathan Wojciechowski, Cheyenne Jewett, Abigail Smith and Olivia Hutchins. The class raised around $4,000 to donate to the Love Your Brain Foundation and Lincoln’s Zeno Mountain Farm to help those nonprofits in turn help people who have suffered traumatic brain injuries.

The seniors collected sponsorships and donations for a walk from the former Jerusalem Schoolhouse in South Starksboro to Zeno Mountain Farm, a Lincoln camp that works with Love Your Brain to host retreats.

Dylan Rapoport, the senior class treasurer, said the group chose to walk there due to the connection Zeno Mountain Farm has with Love Your Brain and Alexopoulos — walk funds are intended in part to help him attend a retreat there.

“They (Zeno Mountain Farm) do these retreats and support people with TBIs, and because of that it was a good place to end our walk.

Mikey has been trying to get into their retreat, and so it has some personal significance for him as well,” Rapoport said.

Ferrisburgh offers deal to McGregor

By ANDY KIRKALDY FERRISBURGH — The Ferrisburgh selectboard last week agreed to make a formal offer to former Sand Road dog rescuer Sheila McGregor that could bring to a close what had been a costly and at times heated legal dispute.

The board adopted a motion that the town would be willing to forego all pending town fines and penalties against McGregor — if she drops her appeals of Ferrisburgh health and zoning board actions filed against her Heidi’s Haven dog rescue operation.

An Oct. 2 inspection of McGregor’s 2512 Sand Road home by Ferrisburgh health officials confirmed both that the rescue operation had moved — McGregor confirmed last month to the Independent she is now on a 30-acre property in Williamstown — and there were no longer signs of a rat infestation on the property.

Ferrisburgh’s zoning administrator had filed a notice of zoning violation stating that the rescue operation needed a permit, and the town board of health had filed an order with a half-dozen conditions

for McGregor to meet to deal with the rats that had infested her and a neighboring property.

Those actions were taken after neighbors, following years of frustration and earlier complaints, had earlier this year ratcheted up their protests to the selectboard about noise and odors coming from the small ranch house and attached one-car garage on McGregor’s 1-acre property. She had housed up to three-dozen dogs and a dozen cats at the home, and this summer added two pigs next to one neighbor’s property.

The motion the selectboard passed on Oct. 16 authorized town attorney Jim Carroll “to reach a global settlement” of both appeals that would include the waiving of “any fees, penalties, or enforcement actions

based on past conduct.”

On McGregor’s part the town would require that she “agree to dismiss with prejudice both of her appeals in a manner that leaves the ZBA Decision in full force and effect after dismissal.” In legal speak, “with prejudice” simply means permanently.

McGregor’s attorney, Lesley Deppman of Middlebury, said on Thursday she would have to speak to McGregor before responding to a question from the Independent about McGregor’s willingness to accept those terms.

As of late June Ferrisburgh had already spent almost $10,500 in legal fees on Heidi’s Haven.

ing the walk and presented checks to Zeno Mountain Farm and the Love Your Brain Foundation.

For the past decade the annual walk-a-thon at VUHS has brought senior classes together as well as supported a community member and a good cause. Lee Shorey, a staff member at VUHS, helped found the annual senior walk-a-thon and has participated in every one. Shorey said that this year’s walk will stand out to her because of the way it united the entire school.

“It brought the school together, more so than I’ve felt about all of

them,” said Shorey.

She said this year’s walk connected the class and the community in a way that fulfilled the purpose of the walk-a-thons at VUHS the way she intended.

“The VUHS Class of 2019 walka-thon did what I originally started the tradition of senior walk-a-thons for,” Shorey said. “It unified the class, giving them their identity and pride back, knowing as a group with a purpose they can make a difference.”

A D D IS ON INDE P E NDEN T

Guest editorial Sen. Bernie Sanders: We should expand Social Security, not cut it Editor’s note: In light of recent news that the national deficit has jumped 17 percent in the past year (most economists have attributed that to the $1.5 trillion tax cuts passed by Trump and the GOP Congress), Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he was concerned the deficit had spiked and would be considering cuts in entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, penned a column a few weeks prior saying that the next Congress would expand Social Security, not cut it. The issue is a good contrast between the political parties. A letter to the editor by Middlebury resident Michael Reeves (starts on Page 5) writes equally well on the same topic.

By Sen. Bernie Sanders Social Security is one of the most popular and successful government programs in the history of our country.

For more than 80 years, through good times and bad, Social Security has paid out every benefit owed to every eligible American on time and without delay... At a time of massive economic instability, this is a record that should make every American very proud.

While many people take Social Security for granted, it’s important to recognize that without Social Security the senior poverty rate in Vermont would be over 42 percent. But, because Social Security has lifted 30,000 seniors in our state out of poverty, it’s just 5.9 percent.

And let’s be clear. Social Security is not just a retirement program that provides benefits to nearly 100,000 seniors in Vermont. It is an insurance program that offers financial assistance to more than 22,000 Vermonters with disabilities and over 9,600 children.

Yet, despite all of this success, seniors in Vermont and all over America still struggle to make ends meet and many older workers are frightened that they will never be able to retire with any sense of dignity.

According to the most recent data, one out of every five senior citizens in America is trying to live on an income of less than $13,500 a year. Think about that for a moment. How does one survive economically if you only have $13,500 a year to buy the medicine you need, heat your home, pay the rent, put food on the table and pay for other basic necessities?

Adding insult to injury, about half of older Americans — those who are 55 and older — have no retirement savings, while the average Social Security benefit is less than $1,300 a month.

Given this painful reality our job is not to cut Social Security, as many of my Republican colleagues in Congress want to do. Our job is to expand Social Security so that everyone in America can retire with the respect that they have earned and deserve after a lifetime of hard work.

That is why I worked together with Representatives John Larson (D-CT) and Debbie Dingell (D-MI) and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) to form the Expand Social Security Caucus. In just a few short weeks, 19 Senators and 140 House members have joined up making it one of the largest caucuses on Capitol Hill.

While most members of the Democratic caucus are on record in support of expanding Social Security, the Republicans have taken a much different approach, including talk of entitlement reform, which is how Republicans want to tackle the growing deficit.

In case you don’t know what Republicans mean when they talk about “entitlement reform,” let me translate it for you. It means massive cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

On top of all of that, the latest whopper from Donald Trump, our pathological lying president, is that Democrats want to “destroy your Social Security” and “want to steal trillions of dollars from Medicare.”

That’s funny. This is the same president who proposed a budget that would have cut, over a 10-year period, $72 billion from the Social Security Disability Fund, $500 billion from Medicare and over $1 trillion from Medicaid.

If Trump were serious about saving Social Security, which he is not, he would support the first bill I introduced this Congress. This legislation would expand Social Security benefits and extend its solvency for the next 60 years by requiring the wealthiest American households — those who make over $250,000 a year — to pay their fair share of Social Security taxes.

Today, because of the earnings cap on Social Security taxes, a CEO making $20 million a year pays the same amount of money into Social Security as someone who makes $128,400 a year. That is absurd. At a time of massive income inequality, we need to lift this cap.

Under this bill, 98.4 percent of American workers would not see their taxes go up by a nickel while Social Security benefits would go up by about $1,300 a year for low-income seniors...

Our job today is to rally the American people to get our priorities right. At the top of that list is making sure that everyone in Vermont and throughout this country can retire with the dignity they have earned and all those struggling with a disability can live with the security they need.

Letters to the Editor Jerome would best represent Brandon-area voters Every fall I wrestle with who I will vote for and who will be the best to represent the interests of my community and my state. This year the choice was easy. I urge people to vote Stephanie Jerome to the Vermont House of Representatives. I’m not a single-issue voter, but there is one issue dear to my heart as parent and a teacher, and that is education.

Stephanie is not only a product of public education, she is a real supporter of public education. She was the only candidate to attend a Neshobe Parent Teacher Organization meeting at Neshobe School. She

didn’t come to promote her candidacy but to find out what is going on at the local school level by listening to parents. She is the first candidate to have done so since I have been an officer of the PTO. Stephanie has also talked with many local teachers to find out about the educational issues they care about. She is also the only local candidate that has been endorsed by the Vermont NEA. I have long argued that supporting local schools including the small schools would benefit the economy of the whole area by attracting younger families, increasing our property

values and providing an educated workforce to attract businesses to our area. Stephanie agrees with this viewpoint. Focusing on education is not a drain on the taxpayer but an investment in our future.

Please join me in voting for Stephanie Jerome to represent us in the Vermont House of Representatives. If we invest our trust in her, it will pay dividends in support for our schools both large and small and that will benefit both our children and our future.

Vote for Bray, he has great qualities

Letters to the Editor Audet, Ralston have entered race for the right reasons I’m chagrined to read the recent string of negative letters about the Audet-Ralston ticket. Perhaps more than disappointed, I’m suspect about the motivation. I like to read about why someone supports a candidate; I don’t want to know why you don’t support others and choose to make this opinion public.

I’ve lived in this community for nearly 40 years and have never heard anything to make me doubt that Marie Audet and Paul Ralston have entered this race for all the

right reasons, ultimately to do their part in making Vermont the best state it can be. For me, the fact they opted to run as a duo and as Independents communicates a focus on collaboration, and the belief that problems are solved most effectively when everyone works well with others and not along party lines. The fact that both candidates have developed such successful businesses also speaks to an ability to listen to feedback, make complicated decisions, and play well with

others to accomplish goals.

It takes courage to run for political office, open oneself to public scrutiny, and state one’s ideas about how to make Vermont a better place. Let’s make this process more cordial, to encourage more innovative candidates to enter the ring.

I will cast my votes for Paul Ralston and Marie Audet and I encourage you to do the same.

Louise Vojtisek Middlebury

May the best two candidates win state Senate contest I have been counting with interest the ratio of letter writers to the Addison Independent supporting Bray and Hardy compared to Audet and Ralston. At about 7 to 1, mainly from the “Big” town and associated non-gated suburbs, it either implies campaigning differentials, or a propensity to write a lot of letters in the big town, or a reluctance by rural Addison County residents to

be outspoken.

Whatever your opinion, all the candidates are great. Let the best two for all of Addison win, including the small towns. Our elected representatives need to understand and respect the harmony between different demographics and locales and not prejudice the delicate balance between Rural, Town and College. We all need each other.

Small vibrant towns need a school, church and town office to maintain appeal and growth.

By the way, I still have not heard any candidate supporting the milk pipeline from Shoreham and the West to the Middlebury industrial processing plants! We could add a conveyor belt for apples.

Nick Causton Shoreham

Newton, as sheriff, would provide guidance for kids I have worked with Peter Newton on a number of projects this past year. He has been resourceful, hard working and kind hearted. Through his campaign for Addison County sheriff, he has had the utmost enthusiasm, drive and direction.

Peter’s 15 years of law enforcement and public safety has led him

to solid goals for Addison County. I am particularly impressed with his vision to establish a cadet program that would focus on a peer support program to help at risk youths for suicide and drug prevention; along with establishing a county-wide school resource officer for all schools who currently don’t have

one. Our youth need guidance and protection. These are only two of his wide-ranging goals.

Peter Newton’s long-term service, training, enthusiasm, and vision would serve us well as Addison County sheriff.

Terry Racich Lincoln

Using Social Security to cover debts hasn’t worked Once again the outcry from the current leadership in Washington is that entitlement programs, which they define as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, are the cause of the growing national debt and they need to be cut.

Let’s be clear. Social Security and Medicare do not contribute to the national debt and Medicaid’s contribution to the debt is limited because it is not an entitlement program — it is a limited, state block-grant program.

In regards to Social Security and Medicare, funds come from income taxes specifically earmarked for disbursement to seniors, the disabled, and their survivors. While some legislators say there are more funds going out of Social Security than in, that is not true. According to www. ssa.gov/policy/trust-funds-summary. html, the federal government took in more to Social Security reserves last year than it disbursed and there is still more than $2.9 trillion in reserves, in theory. So why do they say the reserves are depleted? Because the federal government has “borrowed” from the reserves to pay toward the

national debt. Now the fund is full of IOUs which don’t earn interest.

Using Social Security funds to pay

down the debt obviously hasn’t worked because now we have the (See Reeves letter, Page 29)

This is a letter in support of Chis Bray for re-election as senator for Addison County. To me some of the most important qualities Chris Bray brings to government right now are respectfulness, humility, the ability to listen, and the drive to keep learning and serving. These qualities are especially important now because they are often lacking in our leaders, other candidates, and

the world today.

When I first met Chris years ago at the post office where he was campaigning he impressed me as someone who is approachable, respectful, and a good listener. I hope we continue to be blessed with his hard work as senator for Addison County.

INTERNATIONAL FILM SERIES The 2018-2019 Hirschfield International Film Series continues on Saturday at Middlebury College with the 2018 Sweden/Denmark film “Border” directed by Ali Abbasi.

Customs officer Tina is known for her extraordinary sense of smell.

It’s almost as if she can sniff out the guilt on anyone hiding something.

But when Vore, a suspicious-looking man, walks past her, her abilities are challenged for the first time ever. Tina can sense Vore is hiding something she can’t identify. Even worse, she feels a strange attraction to him. As Tina develops a special bond with Vore and discovers his true identity, she also realizes the truth about herself. Tina, like Vore, does not belong to this world. Her entire existence has been one big lie and now she has to choose: keep living the lie or embrace Vore’s terrifying revelations.

The film, in Swedish with English subtitles, will be shown at 3 and again at 8 p.m. in Dana Auditorium at Sunderland on Saturday, Oct. 27.

It’s free.

Some of the films in this series may be inappropriate for children.

Tiny frozen folks coming to melt on college steps

By JOHN S. McCRIGHT MIDDLEBURY — Brazilian sculptor Néle Azevedo doesn’t want people to just view her art, she wants them to get involved. She brings her participatory brand of artmaking to Middlebury on Tuesday with the installation of as many as 500 little frozen ice men and women on the steps in front of Davis Library on the Middlebury College campus A group of students will join Azevedo and her assistants at around 4:30 p.m. in setting up the 21-cm-tall figures in an installation called “Minimum Monument.” Audience members will be allowed to join in and participate in the installation since it is meant to be a community intervention into public space, explained Cláudio Medeiros, an associate professor of theater who invited Azevedo to Middlebury.

“It’s a community event,” Medeiros said. “Whoever is there when Néle arrives will help. And whoever shows up anytime after that is encouraged to participate.

There are two types of figurines — a male and a female — and they are sculpted in a seated position.

After the figures are set up they will, of course, melt — it is a visual metaphor for climate change. Further, this piece, which has been displayed at many locations around the world, challenges the traditional meaning of the public monument by replacing the single large, stone statue of a hero that often rises in front of prodigious public buildings with many tiny representations of common people — anonymous and ephemeral.

“The idea is to take over the steps of an important building,” Medeiros said. “Monuments often come with buildings connoting power. Monuments imply heroes and hierarchy.

They often come with steps leading to a higher status.”

After the art is installed, Azevedo will give a talk about the work, with a Q&A, beginning at 6 p.m. at the nearby Warner Hemicycle lecture hall.

The ice sculptures usually melt in

60-90 minutes. “The weather Gods will determine that,” Medeiros said.

While thought provoking, this art piece also depends on the involvement of viewers.

In fact Azevedo has already managed to get a lot of community involvement in the sculpture. Late last week she gathered a Burlington artist, some UVM students, a Middlebury professor and others to help create the statuettes by pouring water into molds, freezing them, then using small saw blades to remove the rough edges from the frozen people.

“Imagine a production line where timing is meticulously calculated because space in the freezers is precious.

The molds occupy more space and need a good 24 hours to yield solid statuettes,” Medeiros said. Finishing the pieces involved “cutting and scraping, until all that remained was the human form, sometimes male, sometimes female. Occasionally a figurine snapped in half in our hands and we had to start all over. It was a labor of love and conviction.”

The crews planned to make 1,500 tiny sculptures — 1,000 were to be used in an installation at UVM on Saturday, and 500 are bound for Middlebury. Medeiros was uneasy about getting the tiny frozen people to Middlebury safe and sound.

“We will unplug those freezers right before putting them onto a truck and bringing them down. We will have to secure the freezers super carefully and drive slowly to avoid bumps,” he said. “We can’t afford to break the sculptures. I am actually very nervous about the journey of those freezers back to Middlebury.”

“I am hoping for a big showing of folks not necessarily associated with the campus,” Medeiros said.

ICE FIGURES IN Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo’s “Minimum Monument” slowly melt at a previous overseas installation. Azevedo and members of the public will set up hundreds of ice figures in front of Davis Library this Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.

Hinesburg, VT Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics Before we met the great folks at Bristol Electronics, we initially made contact with one of the ‘popular’ solar installers here in Vermont. You may know them. When we finally decided to move on, a recommendation from a neighbor to contact Bristol Electronics caught our attention.

From the moment the Bristol Electronics technician stepped foot on our property and then proceeded to spend three hours looking over our property and answering our questions, I knew these folks were different from the rest. The second site visit to review options sealed it for us. By the time the company owner left, nearly eight hours had been invested in us. No empty promises. No hard sell. Just straightforward, down-to-earth conversation about the best approach. It was really enjoyable to talk to the staff and everyone was so personally engaging. It is an added benefit that Bristol Electronics handles the entire installation from A to Z. No subcontractors to deal with. No multiple layers of staff to get lost among.

If you are looking for a local Vermont business that will treat you like a member of their family AND perform a professional installation, look no further than Bristol Electronics.

Author John Freeman to speak at Midd. College MIDDLEBURY — Author and editor John Freeman will address critical issues in social media in a public talk at Middlebury College this Thursday.

His presentation, titled, “Seeing Things: On the ethics of place and space in the era of Instagram,” will take place Oct. 25, 4:30-6 p.m., in the Abernathy Room at the Axinn Center.

In describing the talk, which is co-sponsored by the English and American Literature Department and New England Review, Freeman asked the following: “What does it mean to be where we are, to see it, and to capture and disseminate it? How does seeing things deal with vectors of power, and what stories can’t we see?

What kinds of experience needs to be told rather than shown, and how do we incorporate this into our own narratives? In a world of granular detail on reporting, and ever shifting planes of politics, this talk will address issues of sight and empathy, and how literature operates in a world driven by the I/eye. What parts of language have we forgotten?”

Freeman was the editor of the literary magazine Granta until 2013. His books include “How to Read a Novelist,” “Tales of Two Cities” and “Tales of Two Americas.”

“Maps,” his debut collection of poems, was published by Copper

JOHN FREEMAN Canyon in fall 2017.

Otter Valley (Continued from Page 1) in Pittsford and $3,955,000 is dedicated to major fixes at Brandon’s Neshobe Elementary School and the Forestdale School.

Detailed drawings of the projects with complete information can be found online at rnesu.org.

The tax impact, school officials report, will be held to an anticipated tax increase of $0.03 on a $200,000 home — before income sensitivity and town by town common level of appraisal (CLA) factors. That amounts to about $67.40 per year, or just less than $6 per month.

The highest yearly debt service payment, added to annual budgets, will be $448,084 and will incrementally decrease over the next 20 years.

HOW IT ORIGINATED According to the school district officials, the bond proposal got rolling when the school board hired architects, contractors and security and safety experts to research and evaluate the front entryway at OVUHS in light of the mass shooting at a Florida school this past Feb. 14, and a threatened incident at nearby Fair Haven Union High School shortly thereafter.

“After Parkland and Fair Haven, it was apparent that — even though we work hard on developing student relationships as key to promoting safety in our school — we had a significant weakness in the main entrance to our school,” said OV Principal James Avery.

He described the current entrance as a leaky, 1970s concrete block pathway that doesn’t necessarily direct visitors into the front office before they enter the school’s hallways.

The current proposal, Avery said, will not only provide needed safety measures, but will boost the level of pride students and parents have about the building.

In studying the security of the high school building, the board also learned that all Otter Valley

district schools’ safety systems would be improved by controlling facility access through a keyless entry system with existing school identification cards.

The district board noted that the Otter Creek Academy Schools at Leicester, Sudbury and Whiting and Otter Valley Union North Campus facility keyless entry systems and mass notification system improvements are being fully funded through Vermont School Safety Grants with a 25 percent school district match.

That match will be covered by the facility funds budget.

However, Lothrop Elementary, Neshobe Elementary and Otter Valley Union High School identified challenges and operational weaknesses that exceeded the scope and funding level of the Vermont School Safety Grants. While facility access and mass notification improvements were funded in the grant to the maximum level of $25,000 per building, a bond was needed to make the improvements necessary for student and staff safety, district officials said.

SLATED IMPROVEMENTS The operational improvements and benefits at the Lothrop School, amounting to $820,000, include: • Constructing a connection link between the Town Hall Building and the Lothrop Building, protecting students as they transfer between buildings. This change will re-design the traffic flow, creating safe bus loading and unloading at the main entrance.

• Renovating a classroom to become the front office, waiting area, and school nurse space, improving school security through limiting building access.

• Updating the balcony in the Lothrop Town Hall Building to meet life safety regulations allowing full use of the balcony. ********* The Neshobe School

I’ve been in law enforcement for 39 years.

• 25 years of service as the Chief of Police for Bristol Police.

• 15 years as a non-commissioned officer Vermont Air National Guard Security Police.

Professionalism, respect, integrity and fairness will be the cornerstones of a new Addison County Sheriff’s Office.

The selection of our next Sheriff is an issue of public safety, not politics nor party. When experience matters there is a clear choice.

Paid for by Kevin Gibbs for Sheriff, P.O. Box 93, Bristol, VT 05443

improvements, which total $3,955,000, include: • Constructing a connection between the two buildings (Neshobe and Forestdale), which will also allow for the addition of four classroom spaces. The new connection will house the front office, principal and school nurse, as well as a security airlock system improving school security through limiting building access and protecting students transferring between the buildings.

• Building a gymnasium to address space conflicts and expand

future learning and community opportunities.

Currently the multipurpose room is limited with half of the room dedicated to breakfast and lunch service for five hours each day.

The new gymnasium will allow for dedicated cafeteria space and use of the multipurpose room for large group activities like drama, music and band as well as long-term projects. ********** The scope of work done at the Otter Valley Union High School’s antiquated, inefficient and leaking

entryway, which began this investigative process, will amount to $725,000. Those improvements include: • Redesigning the existing entrance airlock, adding a Student Resource Officer space, creating a secure waiting area at the main entrance, and renovating lobby bathrooms for accessibility and gender neutrality. These improvements will improve school security through limiting access to the school while providing a welcoming entrance to visitors and parents.

I took her into a couple of stores where I knew people would like to meet her and she did great... very good ‘puppy manners’. She made friends right away with Shelter alum, Peanut, who hangs out at Round Robin and they had fun playing. Because she hasn’t had much exposure to town and traffic noises she was unsure what to make of them and needed some reassurance but she took it all in and had a great time. At the end of her big trip she was just like a little kid...she got in the car and fell right to sleep. She’s at the Shelter now waiting for someone to come and fall in love with her!” ~ Dottie Nelson, Adoption Ambassador Jaela. 10 months, Manchester Terrier mix, spayed female. Jaela is a young pup with lots of energy and potential! She is still very much a puppy and needs some basic manners training, however she is very smart and food motivated so training should be a breeze. Jaela has had several playgroup sessions at the shelter with other dogs and did wonderfully! She can get a bit mouthy when she is excited — a product of her young age — so until she is acing her manners she should be supervised with young children.

Jaela is a beautiful young gal who will be a wonderful companion!

Maddie. 5 years, Lab mix, spayed female.

When Maddie first came to us, she was very fearful and shy. Each day, she is making great progress and is truly beginning to show her wonderful personality! Maddie’s previous guardians described her as active, quiet, playful and talkative. They wrote “we loved to snuggle, hike, go on walks and play in streams together.” Maddie really loves to lay outside almost as much as she likes to hang out on a couch ‑ she’s perfectly fine with you calling her a couch potato! Maddie is a really sweet gal who needs a patient and understanding new family to allow her the time she needs to get comfortable in a new home. Once she does, we think she will make a great companion!

Boxer. 1 year, short hair tiger w/ white, neutered male. Boxer is no fighter, but he IS a total love bug! He loves people, he loves to cuddle and he enjoys the company of other cats. He has a slight limp in his hind quarters because he had a fractured pelvis in the past that healed wonky, but he seems totally unfazed by his “handicap.” Boxer is all around winner of a cat and anyone interested in adopting this feline all-star should make tracks to Homeward Bound quickly!

Elizabeth. 6 years, short hair tiger w/ white, spayed female. Elizabeth is a curious stray that seems happy to explore the world outside her cat condo. Her meow is sweet and so squeaky, it’s hard to take her seriously! We don’t know much about her because she came to us as a stray, but since she has been at shelter she has shown us she loves to be gently brushed and will gladly take a cat treat or two off our hands. We have learned that Elizabeth does not get along with other cats, so she will need a home where she is the only kitty. She is a lovely kitty who will make a wonderful companion!

Dear Homeward Bound,

My family is having an argument about whether cats can be happy if they are not allowed outside. My sister says it’s impossible but my Mom and I think she’s wrong and that it’s actually dangerous for cats be allowed outside. What do you think?

Dear Curious,

I’m afraid you’ll have to tell your sister that I completely agree with you and your Mom. It is true that most cats would probably choose to go outdoors when allowed and that the great outdoors does offer lots of opportunities to chase, hunt, bird watch, climb, stalk, and all the things that cats do love to do.

However, it is also full of dangers for cats including car traffic, loose dogs, traps set for wildlife, and poisons used in controlling weeds and rodents to name a few.

House cats who are let outside also run the risk of being attacked by feral cats, wildlife, and, sadly, are at the mercy of people who might wish to do them harm. Cats, even well fed house cats, also predate on bird populations and many of our songbird populations are already at risk.

Last but not least, if a house cat is not fixed (spayed or neutered) he or she will undoubtedly contribute to the feline overpopulation problem that plagues Vermont. Did you know that a male cat can smell a female cat in heat from miles away?

To keep an indoor-only cat happy, all you have to do is bring the great outdoors in. It’s easy! You can meet your cat’s needs by providing cat trees, or other perching stations near windows and set up bird feeders outside for their amusement. There are multiple “kitty videos” available for purchase that provide entertainment as well.

Scratching posts can be purchased or made from scrap lumber and carpet.

There are many toys on the market that can provide hours of fun ... my cat’s favorite is a wand toy with a feather at the end of the flexible wire that can be waved about and leapt at. A toy can also be a simple as a wadded up bit of paper or foil. Old boxes and newspaper make great hiding places for cats and it can be pretty funny to watch as well.

The list of ways, and number of products on the market, to keep indoor cats happy is endless but main thing is to think like a cat when considering your interior decorating.

I hope this information helps convince your sister. I bet the two of you could have fun looking up cat toys on Pinterest.

Homeward Bound

You love your pets…

We do too

Panda. 8 years, short hair black & white, neutered male. Panda is a bear of a cat and is one of the largest cats at the shelter now.

But he is no grizzly bear! Panda has a sweet disposition; he absolutely loves to be brushed and there is a lot of him to brush, so just think of exercise your arms will get. Panda isn’t going to be climbing trees any time soon, he would much rather lounge on the couch or follow you around. Panda is as cuddly as any Teddy Bear, and even more loveable!

New Haven (Continued from Page 1) Joseph E. Baker’s 1892 lithograph “Witch No. 1” is a startling, complex depiction of a dark and fearful time, which makes it the perfect inspiration for this time of year.

In the New Haven Congregational

Church, where organizers are “bewitching” the sanctuary for Halloween, a copy of Baker’s lithograph was pinned to an idea board during a recent decorating session.

“We’ve been wanting to do witches for a while,” said Suzy Roorda, the events coordinator for the town of New Haven. “We pick up stuff all through the year from flea markets and consignment shops, and

we put out a wish list on Front Porch Forum. We try to get the community involved.”

Little by little, since planning began in July, organizers have been collecting, drawing, cutting, gluing, sewing and painting. Construction began in earnest on Oct. 1. The Congregational Church has donated the use of its sanctuary for the entire month to allow organizers to build (See Church, Page 21)

Church (Continued from Page 20) what will likely be their greatest creation yet.

Their inspiration has by no means been limited to the unsavory pages of history, however. From the beginning the project has been about fun.

“One idea generated another and then another,” said Taunia Cantin.

“We got inspiration from each other and then just ran with it.”

As work got under way, Roorda and Cantin’s fellow organizer Sara Smith gave the Independent a sneak preview of what visitors can expect — if they’re brave enough to enter into the witches’ domain. And though the Independent has sworn a vow of secrecy (so as not to spoil any surprises) we can say this: A call for technical volunteer assistance has been answered, and this year’s Haunted Church is getting a few upgrades, including special lighting, sounds and magical objects.

Volunteer guides providing historical and magical commentary will lead small groups through the Bewitched Church, where a series of spooky encounters will await them. Visitors are more likely to be charmed and wowed than frightened out of their wits.

“The goal is for it to be startling, but not shocking,” Smith said.

Previous Haunted Churches have been a big hit, she added. A piratethemed event a couple of years ago drew more than 250 people.

SARA SMITH, LEFT, Tauna Cantin and Suzy Roorda stand around a large cauldron they are building for the “Bewitched Haunted Church” event they are helping to organize at the New Haven Congregational Church.

TRUNK OR TREAT New Haven will hold its annual “Trunk or Treat” the same weekend in the Congregational Church parking lot.

Trunk or Treats have evolved all

over the country as a fun and safe alternative to traditional door-todoor trick-or-treating. Costumed children visit a series of elaborately decorated automobiles, collecting their goodies “trunk by trunk.”

The New Haven event typically attracts anywhere from 15 to 30 cars every year, depending on the weather, Roorda said.

Vehicle placement and decorating will begin in the church parking

lot at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27.

Trunk-or-treating lasts from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Tiger football thumps CVU; faces Rice in D-I playoffs

By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School football team took care of business against visiting 1-7 Champlain Valley on Friday with a 27-7 win. Despite the victory and an upset-filled weekend in Division I, the Tigers did not earn a home playoff game.

The 5-3 Tigers received the No. 5 seed and will play their D-I quarterfinal at 1 p.m. this Saturday at No. 4 Rice, also 5-3 after being upset by Colchester on Friday.

Upsets of Rutland (6-2) and Hartford (5-3) jumbled the playoff seeds.

Those teams each dropped a spot to Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, while Mount Mansfield (6-2) leapfrogged them into the top spot.

The Cougars will play No. 8 Colchester and are the probable semifinal foe of either MUHS or Rice. The Tigers did not face either Rice or MMU during the regular season.

Coach Dennis Smith said the Tigers’ first mission has been accomplished with their three-game winning streak to close the regular season, a streak that started after a tough home loss to Rutland.

Defense has sparked the team as it bounced back from that one-sided (See Football, Page 23)

Tiger boys tame T-Birds to nail down No. 5 seed

By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School boys’ soccer team put the wraps on a successful regular season on Saturday by rallying past visiting Missisquoi Valley Union, 2-1, for the Tigers’ seventh straight win.

The 10-3-1 Tigers apparently earned the No. 5 seed in Division I. It looks like they could host Mount Anthony (7-7) on Tuesday at 3 p.m., with No. 3 Essex possibly up next in a quarterfinal. The VPA was set to release pairings early on Monday.

To pick up their 10th win the Tigers had to regroup after MVU, at 6-5-3 the No. 4 seed in D-II, came at them hard in the first 15 minutes and took the lead three minutes in. That’s when Justus Boudreau left-footed a ball into left side from a scramble that followed the second of two consecutive T-Bird corner kicks.

But the Tigers began to control the game with their ball movement, although they did not attack consistently until the second half. Tiger

middies Eben Jackson, Ben Turner and Owen Palcsik were instrumental in getting the Tigers settled and into

their possession game. Defenders Ben Crawford, Spencer Doran, Devon Kearns and Joseph Findlay also

routinely stepped up to help control the ball and put pressure on MVU. In the first half the shots at goal were 5-5, but in the second the Tigers outshot the T-Birds, 12-1. Tiger striker Tucker Moulton, converting a Jackson rebound, and Palcsik, from Kearns, each scored in the final 17:24.

Turner, a senior co-captain, said it came down to the Tigers imposing their style of play on the hard-working, but less technical, T-Birds — and also realizing they had to match MVU’s intensity.

“That’s our game and we’ve really got to get into it. Once we get into that mode we really start going at them and start getting all those beautiful chances,” Turner said, adding, “As a team we just had to realize that we’re not playing good and that we had to play better, and more importantly working harder.”

MUHS Coach Reeves Livesay had a similar take. “Once we were able to battle hard and start winning the 5050s and just getting a little more ball (See Tiger soccer, Page 24)

“Get in the playoffs, that’s job one, and we’ve done that,” he said.

“We’ve made bigger plays at the end in the last three weeks and executed, in terms of getting us where we are right now against teams that have been playing us pretty tough. Our defense has really stepped up, making great plays, not giving up the big plays.”

The Tigers — and for that matter the struggling CVU Redhawks — set the tone early in Friday’s game.

CVU botched receiving the opening kickoff and started on its own fiveyard line, and then fumbled its first snap and soon had to punt.

Tyler Buxton returned that punt 24 yards to the 15, and on the next play Simon Fischer swept wide right to make it 6-0.

CVU managed two first downs on its next possession, but CJ Bryant sacked CVU quarterback Ryan MUHS SENIOR SIMON Fischer repels Champlain Valley D-back Jason Rosner and scampers for 15 yards Anderson and forced a fumble that for a touchdown in the first quarter of Friday’s game in Middlebury.

VUHS, OV & Mt. Abe all net wins ADDISON COUNTY — As the high school girls’ soccer regular season concluded last week Vergennes and Mount Abraham picked up a key victories, Otter Valley split two games, and Middlebury came up short.

The Vermont Principals’ Association was set to announce playoff pairings on Monday morning. Firstround games are set for Tuesday or Wednesday.

COMMODORES On Friday the Commodores blanked winless Missisquoi, 5-0, apparently giving VUHS the No. 6 seed in Division III with a 6-5-2 record.

Ciara McClay and Maria Malaney each notched two goals and an assist to pace VUHS at MVU. Emily Rooney scored the other goal and also picked up an assist. Sydney Weber and Ema Gernander also contributed assists.

The Commodores are unofficially set to host No. 11 Windsor (7-7) on Wednesday, with Green Mountain Union (13-1) probably up next.

EAGLES The Eagles on Friday knocked off visiting D-I Rutland, 2-1, to unofficially pin down the No. 6 seed in D-II with a 7-5-2 mark. The win over the Raiders was Mount Abe’s fourth straight. Mae Peterson set up Addy Harris’s first-half goal and then scored to snap a 1-1 tie in the second half. Eagle goalie Justice Green made three saves, while the Raiders’ Elise Magro stopped five shots.

Mount Abe will apparently host Mill River (4-9-1) in the first round, with a potential quarterfinal vs.

Lake Division rival Rice, the No. 3 seed, looming.

OTTERS On Wednesday Green Mountain Union, the No. 3 team in D-III, edged OV, 2-1. GMU standout Page Carl scored twice, including the opening goal on a penalty kick.

OV’s Olivia White scored late from long range to spoil the Chieftains’ shutout bid. Otter sophomore (See Girls’ soccer, Page 24)

High school field hockey: Eagles, Otters earn key victories

By ANDY KIRKALDY ADDISON COUNTY — As the local high school field hockey regular season concluded last week Mount Abraham and Otter Valley each split two games, efforts good enough to nail down top-four seeds in Division II, while Middlebury dropped a contest.

The Vermont Principals’ Association was set to announce D-II playoff pairings on Monday morning. The Eagles and Otters will host quarterfinals this weekend, while the Tigers could host a first-round game on Tuesday or Wednesday.

EAGLES On Thursday the Eagles blanked host U-32,

4-0, a result that clinched the No. 1 seed for the Eagles.

Evan Laurent led the way with a goal and an assist, and Molly Laurent, Abby Hoff and Jalen Cook also found the back of the cage.

Eagle goalie Chessley Jackman made one save, and Abigail Latour stopped 18 shots for the Raiders.

On Saturday D-I host Colchester completed an 11-0-3 regular season by edging the Eagles, 1-0. Laker goalie Ciera Morse stopped six shots, and Jackman made four saves.

The 8-3-3 Eagles will apparently host either No. 8 MUHS or No. 9 Springfield this weekend in a quarterfinal before remaining

tournament games are played on neutral turffield sites.

OTTERS On Wednesday the Otters blitzed host Fair Haven, 13-0. Brittney Jackson (four goals), Alia Edmunds (three goals, two assists), Sophie Markowski (goal, four assists), and Morgan LaPorte and Livia Bernhardt (two goals apiece) led the attack. OV goalies Ellie Ross (one save) and Jamie Dube-Bordeau (two) split time, while Fair Haven’s Jordan Howard stopped 27 shots.

On Saturday Windsor, D-III’s top seed, knocked off the visiting Otters, 3-1. OV finished at 9-5, good for the No. 4 seed in D-II.

The Otters could host No. 5 Brattleboro in a weekend quarterfinal, and the winner of that game will most likely meet the Eagles in a semifinal.

TIGERS On Thursday the Tigers lost, 8-1, at D-I Essex, which improved to 10-3. For the Hornets Hannah Neddo scored three times, goalie Kaylan Ferreira was credited with 11 stops, and a defender made a save.

Maeve Hammel scored the Tiger goal, and Cassie Bettis stopped 16 shots. It appears the 1-11 Tigers could earn the No. 8 seed and host No. 9 Springfield (2-11) in a play-in game.

The Otters look like they will visit No. 4 Peoples (10-3-1) in the first round.

TIGERS On Friday host Milton improved to 12-2 by blanking the Tigers, 8-0.

MUHS finished at 3-11 and looked to receive the No. 13 seed in D-I. Burr & Burton (8-4-1) appears to be the Tigers’ first-round foe.

Eagle football falls to Fairfax in finale FAIRFAX — Host Fairfax rumbled to a 38-6 victory over the Mount Abraham-Vergennes football team on Saturday in an interdivisional matchup. The Division III Bullets improved to 5-3, while the D-II Eagles wrap up their season at 1-7.

The bright spot for the Eagles proved to be the 57 rushing yards

on 16 attempts for senior back Kevin Pearsall. Although that did not approach the 200-plus yards he rambled for the week before, that total was good enough to give him 1,037 for the fall. Pearsall became the program’s first 1,000-yard rusher in a number of seasons.

Pearsall, a defensive end, also led the Eagle defense on Saturday with

eight tackles, with Jacob Thomas and Christien Paquin right behind with seven each.

On Saturday Ryan Rougier scored the Eagle touchdown and ran 10 times for 46 yards, and Nevin Jemison ran seven times for 56 yards. In all the Eagles picked up 161 yards in 40 attempts, but their bid for a D-II playoff spot came up short.

Boys’ soccer: VUHS & Mt. Abe win ADDISON COUNTY — Late last week in final regular season high school boys’ soccer action Vergennes and Mount Abraham each won twice to nail down first-round home playoff games, while Otter Valley lost twice.

Playoff pairings will be announced Monday; teams will play first-round games on Tuesday or Wednesday.

COMMODORES Last Wednesday the Commodores blanked host Spaulding, 1-0. Ezekiel Palmer netted the game-winner, a high shot from the top of the box, midway through the second half, and goalie Gabriel Kadric stopped six shots. Tide goalie Parker Spaulding made seven saves.

On Saturday the Commodores rallied to knock off visiting Milton, 2-1.

The Yellowjackets took the lead in the first half, but Jonathan Willis equalized with 13 minutes left in regulation, and Palmer supplied the game-winner five minutes later. Kadric stopped eight shots; Milton goalies sopped six.

The Commodores finished 8-6 after a 1-4 start and apparently earned the No. 6 seed in D-III. Randolph (3-101) could visit in the 1st round, and Winooski (13-1) potentially after that.

EAGLES On Wednesday the Eagles got an

overtime headball goal from Weston Allred to defeat host Green Mountain Valley, 3-2. Sam Schoenhuber set up the tying goal and assisted Neo Weaver’s first-half goal. William Wright, from Eric McKean, also scored, and Eagle goalie Ethan DeWitt stopped six shots. Gumby goalie Markus Basciano made 10 saves.

On Saturday the Eagles got two goals and an assist from Angus Schwaneflugel in a 4-1 victory over visiting Spaulding. Silas Burgess and Allred also scored, and Owen Maille chipped in two assists. DeWitt stopped five shots.

The Eagles finished at 5-7-2 and apparently earned the No. 7 seed in D-II. Stratton (6-4-1) could visit in the first round, and Woodstock or OV might be next.

OTTERS On Thursday Leland & Gray (103) knocked off the visiting Otters, 4-2. Kieran Williams and Patrick McKeighan scored for OV. On Saturday host West Rutland blanked the Otters, 3-0, leaving them with a 3-10-1 record.

The Otters will apparently visit No. 2 Woodstock (9-3-1) in the first round. OV played competitively in two losses to the Wasps this fall.

“But at the start Missisquoi was doing a great job of putting us under pressure and winning the 50-50 balls.”

In the first half MVU didn’t have more good looks at Tiger goalie

Lucas Palcsik, who finished with three saves. The Tigers did press, and Moulton tipped an Owen Connelly serve past MVU keeper Kyle Gilbert (three saves), but defender Ethan Teague cleared it off the goal line. Owen Palcsik also one-timed a Moulton feed from the left just wide of the right post.

In the second half Moulton, Turner, Kearns and Palcsik all created chances before Moulton tied the game at 17:24.

Jackson started the play with a 24yard rip outside the box that deflected off a defender toward the right of the penalty stripe. The onrushing Moulton slammed the loose ball home.

A couple minutes later Palcsik tapped the ball off the left post on a lofted Turner direct kick. At 5:22 Palcsik made no mistake on Kearns’ long diagonal serve from the right side, taking a touch and then right-footing home a 10-yard shot into the right corner at 5:12.

MVU pressed in the final two minutes, but Findlay three times denied Boudreau runs on the right flank to nail down the win.

This past Wednesday MUHS made first-half goals from Anthony Garner and Jackson stand up in a 2-0 win at Milton. Two Yellowjacket goalies combined for 12 saves, while the Tigers limited Milton to two shots on Lucas Palcsik.

Livesay said as they enter the D-I postseason the Tigers should remember what worked well in Saturday’s 2nd half, especially when attacking.

“We need to be assertive, and ready to go from the first whistle,” he said.

Turner said the Tigers are looking forward to the challenge of “playing a lot of tough teams” in the D-I playoffs. “I’m feeling pretty excited to test our team out,” Turner said. “I think we have a good chance to go far in the tournament.”

Addison Independent, Monday, October 22, 2018 — PAGE 25

Debate (Continued from Page 1) two state Senate seats representing Addison County, Huntington and Buel’s Gore — essentially endorsed two of his opponents: Fellow independent Marie Audet of Bridport and Middlebury Democrat Ruth Hardy.

“I think the best decision may be to send two women to Montpelier as our senators,” said Ralston, the CEO of Vermont Coffee and a former Addison-1 House Democrat.

But that will ultimately be up to the voters, who will have plenty of choices in multiple legislative and countywide contests on Election Day. Those races include three candidates vying for two seats in Addison-3, the district that represents Addison, Panton, Vergennes, Ferrisburgh and Waltham; four people vying for two seats in the Addison-4 House district that includes Bristol, Lincoln, Monkton and Starksboro; two people seeking one seat representing the Addison-Rutland House district of Orwell, Shoreham, Whiting and Benson; two people vying for Addison County Sheriff; and four people competing for two assistant judge posts at the Addison County Courthouse.

The ballot also includes races for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, governor and other statewide posts.

Last week’s debate, however, was all about two specific races.

Rep. Fred Baser, R-Bristol, Lincoln Democrat Mari Cordes, Starksboro Democrat Caleb Elder and Monkton Republican Valerie Mullin are the competitors in Addison-4.

Audet, Hardy, Ralston, New Haven Libertarian Archie Flower, Addison Republican Peter Briggs and incumbent Sen. Chris Bray, D-New Haven, are the six local state Senate candidates.

All 10 of those candidates were present at the debate, held at Mount Abraham Union High School.

Though incumbent Rep. Harvey Smith, R-New Haven, faces no Election Day opposition for his Addison-5 seat, he also participated.

Audience members were invited to submit written questions for the candidates, and the most common concern reflected by those questions was health care.

What follows is a summary of how the candidates believe the state should control health care expenses, along with a brief sampling of their positions on some of the other issues that came up during the debate.

The candidates were fairly evenly split on the notion of instituting a $15 minimum wage (implemented gradually over a few years), and a majority agreed Vermont should consider regulating and deriving revenues from potential future sales of recreational marijuana.

All the local candidates involved in this November’s contested races were invited to participate in an Addison Independent Q&A series.

Their responses can be found at addisonindependent.com and some of them in this Thursday’s newspaper.

“What we see in health care is an She believes that since the state absurd amount of overregulation,” he

said. “If we cut regulation and allow more competition, we’re going to see quality, supply and access increase, and we’re going to see prices fall.”

Flower would support an amendment to the state Constitution to eliminate the property tax altogether. He supports decreasing taxes as a way of fostering economic development, while making the state more affordable.

“It’s too easy to spend other people’s money,” Flower said.

“Montpelier is addicted to it; they treat your wallets like their ATM.” When it comes to paying for the cleanup of the state’s waterways, Flower said “the polluters” — including municipal wastewater treatment plants — should bear the burden.

Ruth Hardy Hardy is on sabbatical from her position as executive director of Emerge Vermont. She previously served on the ID-4 and Addison Central School District boards. She said her past school board experience could be an asset in the Senate, which has been grappling with school funding and consolidation issues.

“I’ve stood before my community many times and demonstrated my understanding of policy and finance, ability to explain complex issues, desire to reach compromise and get things done,” Hardy said. “I show up, I work hard, I listen and learn and do what’s right for our community.”

Hardy said health care has surfaced as the top issue of concern among voters she’s spoken with during the campaign. She believes the current system is too heavy in administration, and that converting to universal primary care would place expenses on a more sustainable path.

“I’m in favor of moving toward universal primary care, because if we

all had access to care at the primary level, then we would have savings down the road preventing us from having to go to the emergency room or have more expensive, specialized care later on,” Hardy said.

If elected, Hardy said she’d work to make the state’s taxation system more progressive, “so that more people at the higher end of the income level pay more taxes, and those at the lower end pay lower taxes.”

Hardy, in her first run for the state’s highest chamber, is the frontrunner thus far in campaign fundraising in the county.

Paul Ralston Ralston, who now resides on New Haven, addressed the criticism he’s heard from some Democrats about his entry into the race as an independent. Some local Democrats are concerned Ralston will pare votes from Bray and Hardy. Democrats have controlled the county’s two Senate seats since 2002.

“Running as an independent, for a number of people, has felt that’s a very disruptive thing to do,” Ralston said. “And I think that’s OK. Vote for me or don’t vote for me; that’s OK. Rest assured that the Democratic Party, regardless of the outcome of this election, will have a firm grip on the Vermont Legislature.”

Ralston believes state and federal leaders should together study more potential health care fixes, as Vermont will be hard pressed to making a sweeping change on its own.

“I don’t think anyone in Vermont wants to reduce the quality of our care, because we do have very good health care,” Ralston said. “And yes, it is expensive. I honestly don’t believe this is an area we want to mess around with too much. We tried it once before (single payer). It’s a (See Candidates, Page 26)

“Most Vermonters can’t afford increased taxes,” he added.

Fred Baser Baser, a financial planner, is rounding out his second term representing Addison-4. He serves on the House Ways & Means Committee.

Baser said he’s earned a reputation as someone who respects all points of view and who can work well with both major parties.

He said he’s detected particular anger in voters this year about national and statewide issues, ranging from gun safety laws to taxes.

“I’ve noted a lot of tension out there,” Baser said. “There’s a lot of fear, mistrust and anger.”

Baser said he brings three principles to his role as a lawmaker: Respect, work collaboratively, and put constituents first, as opposed to “mantras and parties.”

He said he’s been disappointed with a “lack of leadership” on statewide health care issues, and believes the United States should follow the example of some European nations in founding an independent board to control health care costs. “(The board) says, ‘This is what you’re going to get hospital A, B and C, or Doctor A, B and C,’” Baser said.

“I think the only way to control costs at this juncture is to have some kind of a system where the reimbursement is dictated by others,” he added. “I think this might be difficult to do in Vermont; I think it might be best if it’s done nationally.”

Baser said the House Ways & Means Committee has been looking at a potential change in the state’s income tax structure that could reduce property taxes by 25-40 percent.

“I think something will evolve in this next biennium,” Baser said.

He touted paid family leave, childcare, public infrastructure and high-speed Internet as amenities that could prevent more young Vermonters from leaving the state when they graduate.

Marie Cordes Cordes, making her second bid for an Addison-4 seat, is a longtime Registered Nurse with University of Vermont Medical Center. She’s been active in nurses’ union efforts as well as charitable outreach in countries that have suffered natural disasters and civil wars.

“I’m running because we need elected leaders with compassion and strength, who will take principles and non-party-line stands on issues,” she said. “Our successes and happiness is tied up with one another.”

Vermont, according to Cordes, “needs to completely decouple the payment of health care from employment” and opt for universal primary care.

“The insurance companies are a third party not aligned with you and me, and are actually interfering,” Cordes said.

Cordes believes the state should step up its workforce development, education programming and early

childhood services as a way to keep future generations in the Green Mountain State.

Caleb Elder Elder, who works in the renewable energy field, is a former Starksboro school board official.

He’d like to see Vermont bring more competition into its health insurance market, and also adopt a universal primary care system that he said would reduce overall health care expenses.

“At this point, the status quo is much, much more expensive every year,” he said. “We’re paying so much on premiums, we don’t have money left for care. So going to a system that incorporates some direct care is incredibly important. Cut the insurance company out of the middle at some point.”

Elder said the state should foster more business growth as a way of increasing its revenues, rather than simply raising taxes. But he added lawmakers should consider adjusting the state income tax in an effort to lower property taxes, which are the primary source for education funding.

He advocated for a “clearer pipeline” between Vermont public schools and the states colleges and career centers.

“It’s always hard to find money for any new investment,” Elder said, “but as (Cordes) said, our budget is a statement of our values.”

Like most of the candidates running this year, Elder supports laws that would allow firearms to be quickly removed the home of someone accused of domestic assault.

Valerie Mullin Mullin, a local businessperson and MAUHS graduate, is making her third run for an Addison-4 seat.

She’s been very active with the Champlain Valley Canine Rescue.

She voiced frustration that all three of her children have left Vermont to search for better job opportunities and lower cost of living elsewhere.

Mullin said her legislative priorities include being “an independent voice for common sense solutions for health care costs” and starting a state registry for those who are convicted of crimes against animals.

She believes health care consumers should be able to go across state lines to buy their insurance, which she believes would lead to lower premiums. Mullin added the state could help subsidize the larger premiums owed by patients with preexisting conditions.

Mullin shared she’s had experience dealing with domestic violence, but said removing weapons from the home of an abuser isn’t necessarily the answer.

“Removing the (abuser), first and foremost, seem to make sense,” Mullin said, adding domestic violence perpetrators can evade stronger firearm laws and hide their guns from authorities. “Removing the volatility of the people is more important.”

Bristol man gets 6 years in jail for child pornography BRISTOL — A Bristol man will spend decades behind bars and in the supervision of federal authorities because he possessed child pornography.

Cody Clark, 27, was sentenced this past Thursday, Oct. “Let this 18, to serve case 120 months in serve as a prison after his reminder guilty plea to that those one count of who receipt of child pornography, sexually according exploit a release children will to from the U.S. be targets A t t o r n e y ’s for federal Office in prosecution, Burlington. At a hearing in and a top U.S. District priority Court in for federal Burlington, investi­– federal Judge gators.”

Christina Reiss — Christina also ordered E. Nolan Clark to serve a 30-year term of supervised release, and to pay a $100 special assessment.

According to court records and proceedings, in the summer of 2017, Google transmitted a “Cybertip” to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that a user, later identified as Clark, had uploaded images of child pornography to Clark’s Google account. NCMEC forwarded the tip to the Vermont Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The task force investigated the tip and obtained a warrant to search Clark’s residence in the Kountry Trailer Park.

In the course of a Sept. 2, 2017, search of Clark’s home, police seized several computers and other devices. Officers also discovered

a minor child in his bed. Police said that Clark admitted that he produced and possessed images of child pornography, that he knew he had a problem and needed help, and that he had inappropriately touched young boys in his care, though he claimed that such touches were non-sexual. A forensic examination of his devices confirmed that Clark had produced

images of child pornography, and possessed images that he had downloaded from the internet.

U.S. Attorney Christina E. Nolan commended the efforts of the Vermont Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and Homeland Security Investigations in the investigation and prosecution of Clark.

“Let this case serve as a reminder

that those who sexually exploit children will be targets for federal prosecution, and a top priority for federal investigators,” Nolan said.

“Society should be measured by how it protects its most innocent and vulnerable members, and the Vermont law enforcement community will bear this in mind as we relentlessly pursue those who harm children and advocate

for serious sentences. As Judge Reiss said in imposing sentence, this defendant’s conduct was ‘unforgiveable and a violation of trust.’”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Barbara A. Masterson handled the prosecution of Clark. Clark was represented by Assistant Federal Public Defender Elizabeth Quinn.

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

Congratulations to Josh Beayon of Pittsford, the latest Otter Valley Union High School Student of the Week. Josh’s parents are Joseph and Sally Beayon and his little brother Jordan is in 8th grade at Otter Valley.

Josh is a hard-working student, making the scholars list and honor roll for every marking period at Otter Valley. And he has been inducted into the National Honors Society — his proudest achievement throughout high school. He is currently ranked 7th in his class and has a 96.67 GPA. His courses this year include AP Literature and AP Pre-Calculus — one of the most advanced math classes at Otter Valley. Throughout his high school career he has achieved excellence awards in almost all subjects, including Math, Science, English and French.

Athletically, Josh has played varsity baseball and wrestled all four years of high school. He also showed his commitment to athletics as a member of the Athletic Leadership Council at Otter Valley.

He has shared his love of baseball by volunteering at the local recreation departments throughout the years, including volunteering as an assistant coach and umpire for the Little League Josh Beayon baseball teams. He has done volunteer maintenance on the youth OVUHS baseball fields to get them ready for the season, and has also volunteered at youth wrestling events throughout the years.

When he’s not busy at school, on the mat or the baseball diamond, or volunteering, Josh enjoys hunting and spending time with his family and friends outside of school.

When asked what high school has taught him, Josh replied, “I have learned that hard work is the key to success and that it can help you accomplish a lot of your life goals.”

Once he has graduated from OVUHS, Josh plans to attend college and play baseball while doing so.

“Josh Beayon is a conscientious and diligent student, athlete and an overall impressive young man.

He exemplifies excellence and dedication as much in his academic performance as he does on the baseball field and the wrestling mat,” teacher Hollie Kretzer says. Larry Gerrior adds, “Josh has my respect and highest recommendation as an exemplary student. He has demonstrated excellence in all that he puts his mind to, whether working on a group project, or designing a technical experiment.

Josh’s keen interest in understanding how things work and natural aptitude for sciences lead me to believe that he will have an amazing and successful future.”

Everyone at Otter Valley wishes Josh well as he moves beyond high school.

Mount Abraham Union High School is proud to present Ross Carr as its Student of the Week. Ross lives in Bristol with his mother Christine Chamberlain.

Ross has been on highest honors every semester (he believes). He is currently enrolled in AP Biology. He attended the New England Young Writers Conference at Bread Loaf in his sophomore year. He has had a short piece published in “Zig Zag Lit Mag,” a local literary magazine. He has also been named to the National Honor Society.

Ross is a track and field enthusiast, and has competed for Mt. Abe on the cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track and field teams throughout high school. He is a force as a runner, qualifying for the 200 and the 400 meter races in the Division II State Track & Field meet last spring, and he ran varsity cross country as a freshman.

For the summer prior to Ross’ junior year, he worked with the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps on a trail building project in Dorset. His crew was there for one month, living at a makeshift campsite off an old logging road downhill from their project. The building itself involved many rock work projects such as stone Ross Carr staircases and retaining walls. This past summer he worked as MAUHS an attendant at D.A.R. State Park in Addison and is planning on working there next year as well.

Outside of school Ross enjoys fly fishing, hunting, camping, running, working out, playing guitar, reading, writing and trapping. To add to all these activities, he is now working on building a guitar with a friend.

Ross’ advice to his peers? “Never get so involved in high school that you lose sight of your life outside, and what comes after. In the end, you will walk away a little smarter, a lot wiser, and richer in friends. Do what you love, not what you feel pressured to do, and you will win in the end.”

Following graduation from MAUHS, Ross plans to pursue training and apprenticeship for electrical linework at Northern Michigan University.

AP English teacher Lisa Gryzb says, “Ross Carr’s creative writing shows his wild imagination as well as his control over language. He’s hard working and focused and willing to push the envelop in his thinking. He’s also the best damn DUO ever.” Advanced French teacher Jori Jacobeit adds, “Ross is a highly engaged and innately curious individual. His knowledge of wide-ranging topics reflects his passion for life and his sense of adventure.”

Everyone at Mt. Abe wishes Ross the best of luck in his post-high school endeavors.

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.

Reeves letter

Letters to the Editor Wygmans deserves a new term as state’s attorney Dennis Wygmans, Addison County State’s Attorney, has deep and broad experience. He was appointed to the position in 2016 after spending four years in Addison County prosecuting cases of domestic and sexual violence. He previously had many years’ experience as a defense attorney and practicing corporate and entertainment law. Dennis is a native Vermonter and had a nearly 18-year career in the music industry before becoming a lawyer.

The job of state’s attorney requires dedication. Dennis is often called out late at night, early in the morning, and on weekends to deal

with emergency situations that are often tragic. He has made numerous trips out of state to take depositions from victims of sexual and domestic violence. He believes keenly that meeting these demands of the job is vital to protecting the interests of violence survivors.

Dennis has shown himself to be creative and innovative in his job.

This month he is organizing two “Cannabis Expungement Days” to allow local residents to clear their records of marijuana-related and other misdemeanor convictions.

Through a collaborative arrangement between the courts and counseling

services of Addison and Chittenden counties he has helped provide treatment services for high-risk offenders. He advocates for mental health insurance and services for those whose criminal activity is related to substance abuse and/or a mental health condition.

Dennis Wygmans has the experience, dedication, and creativity needed for the job of Addison County State’s Attorney.

He deserves your vote so he can continue this important work for the next four years.

Spence Putnam Weybridge

Rep. Sharpe supports Hardy, Bray for state Senate I enthusiastically support and endorse Ruth Hardy to represent Addison County along with Sen. Chris Bray in the Vermont Senate.

The job of Senator requires an individual with a broad understanding of the needs of Vermont citizens and the ability to collaborate with a relatively small number of colleagues who must cooperate in order to create quality and effective legislation. And, after the work is done, to be able to come home and explain what the legislature has accomplished to Vermonters at their doors, and in meetings such as the annual Town meetings.

Ruth Hardy has demonstrated those qualities as an educational leader and policy maker. Perhaps the most difficult community service that a citizen can contribute to our life in Vermont is service on a school board. Ruth is an experienced school board member who has served as chair of the elementary school, various study committees leading up to the formation of the Addison Central School District, and improving the educational opportunities for Addison Central school students.

Furthermore, her financial expertise has helped the new school district create good financial policies that have formed a responsible budget. She is a former Legislative analyst overseeing all areas of education finance including Pre-K, K-12, and higher education.

These are exactly the skills we need as we try to figure out how to deliver cradle-to-career education

for our children in a way we can afford to pay for it.

With my retirement the legislature needs Ruth Hardy to move forward with good financial planning for education. Join me in voting for both Ruth Hardy and Sen. Chris Bray for Vermont Senate.

(Continued from Page 5) biggest debt in history and there is nothing left to borrow.

What does increase the national debt? Unchecked spending and tax cuts. The federal government spends much more than it receives in revenue, and the recent tax cuts have reduced revenue even further and have not resulted in increased wages to employees, as sponsors of the tax cuts tried to assure us. These legislators depend on an uninformed electorate that will follow like lemmings to the sea. The fact is that the Baby Boom bubble is reaching retirement age at the same time there is a decrease in younger workers, increasing outlays and decreasing revenue. This would not be a problem if the funds were actually in the reserves.

Blaming these programs for the national debt is unfair. Remember that it was only 83 years ago that our leaders in Washington understood the need for a financial safety net and created Social Security. For many seniors, Social Security provides nearly 90 percent of their retirement income and it is the main source of income for 67 percent of all elderly people. We cannot abandon our most vulnerable population when they need us most.

Don’t be fooled by the current leadership in Washington. We need to rein in spending and have a fair, equitable tax structure that makes the wealthy pay their fair share.

Reducing the national debt should not fall on the backs of the vulnerable.
