Film’s tough topic: Bringing prisoners home Fall Car Care

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — People tend to make headlines — for all the wrong reasons — when they’re arrested, convicted and sent to jail.

But unless we’re talking about a violent criminal or sex offender, you don’t really hear about prisoners

once they’ve paid their debt and are released back into society.

Until now.

A new documentary film directed

by Kingdom County Productions’ Bess O’Brien follows the journey of five Vermonters as they transition from prison to everyday life. The

film, “Coming Home,” captures the full range of emotions of the three men and two women as they learn about accountability, trust and living independently through an innovative state program called Circle of Support and Accountability (COSA).

By CHRISTOPHER ROSS BRISTOL — For nine days in October it looked like Mount Abraham Union High School would lose one of its most beloved figures.

In an Oct. 17 letter to school and district officials, assistant principal Justin Bouvier announced his resignation, effective no later than Jan. 18, 2019.

“I want you “Justin is to know that my time with an integral Mt. Abraham positive UM/HS has part of been, on the whole, the Bristol satisfying and community. p r o d u c t i v e If he is since 2001, in resigning, fact I would say some of the something greatest years is very of my life,” wrong.”

Bouvier wrote. — Judy Mayer “However, for a while now I have become less and less satisfied with my work situation.”

The letter did not specify the nature or duration of his dissatisfaction, and Bouvier declined to comment when contacted by the Independent.

‘Farmacy’ program about produce, not pills

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — “Take 120 pounds of carrots, tomatoes, lettuce and apples, and I’ll see you in three months.”

It’s a pretty unconventional prescription for a physician to give to a patient, but 45 county

residents will be given that kind of direction by their family doctors beginning next year as part of a new wellness program spearheaded by the local nonprofit “Acorn,” aka the Addison County Relocalization Network.

Known as the “Farmacy Project,” the program

will contract with local, emerging farms for fresh fruit and veggies that will be distributed, free of charge, to a select group of patients culled from two Porter Medical Center practices — Addison Family Medicine and Pediatric Primary Care (See Farmacy program, Page 28)

Some DR Power jobs to be affected; store to stay in city

By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — The recently confirmed mid-2019 move of DR Power property maintenance equipment manufacturer Country Home Products (CHP) from its Vergennes headquarters to South

Burlington will not include the DR store at 5 North Main Street, according to store manager Jeremy Brooks.

The DR store moved out of CHP’s Meigs Road headquarters five years ago and has done well both selling

and servicing DR, Husqvarna and Generac products, according to Brooks.

“We’re not going anywhere anytime soon,” Brooks said, adding, “Service is huge here.”

Also, a spokesperson from

Generac Power Systems Inc., CHP’s parent company, emailed the Independent on Thursday to clarify the status of jobs at CHP’s Meigs Road plant and the company’s plans.

Generac Marketing Communications/PR Manager Art Aiello wrote that about two-dozen jobs are at stake as Generac makes plans to consolidate operations in its Waukesha, Wisc., headquarters and at a new, as yet undisclosed, site in South Burlington. Aiello said in an earlier email that the move to South Burlington is targeted for the second quarter of 2019.

Aiello said he had responded in an email to a question posed earlier last week about jobs, and apologized for it not reaching the Independent.

“It appears there was some problem with my email, and it never got to you,” Aiello wrote.

In the missing email Aiello wrote: “DR Power Equipment does not plan to make any changes to its workforce as a result of the move to South Burlington. However, DR Power is consolidating repair shop and shipping operations in Wisconsin with parent company Generac Power Systems, which

will improve efficiency in those operations. About 26 DR Power employees will be affected, many of whom are being offered other roles within the company. Those leaving the company will be given severance packages.”

Addison County Development Corp. executive director Fred Kenney, who worked with Generac on Addison County alternatives, said early last week Generac had informed him it would offer many workers the chance to commute to South Burlington and others the chance to transfer to Wisconsin.

Generac acquired CHP about three years ago. CHP first leased space in the 88,000-square-foot Meigs Road building in the late 1990s. It now uses about 66,000 square feet mostly for office space, while manufacturing some of its DR Power landscaping and Neuton lawn mowing products in Winooski. It’s not clear at this point if that facility will be affected.

Overall, according to Aiello, CHP will be adding jobs. Kenney said Generac made the decision to move to Chittenden County in part due to access to a larger workforce.

Tainted candy investigated MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury Police are citing a manufacturing accident as the likely cause of a metal object found in a piece of Halloween candy collected by a trick-or-treater in the Buttolph Acres neighborhood on Oct. 31.

It was at around 9 p.m. on Halloween that police responded to a report of a local resident finding a “metal object” in a piece of “Laffy Taffy” candy. The resident said she opened the sealed candy wrapper and fed the taffy to her dog as a treat. She later noticed the dog had cut its mouth chewing on the candy.

She retrieved the remnants of the candy and the metal object that was embedded in it, according to police.

Authorities took the candy, wrapper and piece of metal into

evidence. The metal object was about the size of the piece of the candy, according to Middlebury Police Chief Tom Hanley.

Police said they found no evidence found that the wrapper had been tampered with after it had been sealed at the factory.

Authorities are currently working with representatives from the Nestle Company to determine what the object is and how it got embedded within the taffy. Police have provided Nestle with photos of the item and wrapper, as well as the lot and production identification information.

As always, police encourage parents to carefully examine their children’s Halloween candy prior to consumption. Any similarly suspicious candy should be turned over to the police.

To date, this has been the only report of contaminated candy received by police.

CORRECTION: Our Oct. 18 article on the ongoing discussion in Panton on how to proceed with certain upgrades to Panton Town Hall incorrectly stated the amount of the Cerf Foundation grant awarded to Panton for the purpose of restoring a cupola to the building. According to Selectboard Chairman Howard Hall, the amount of the grant was $25,000, of which the town has to date spent $7,500 for design and engineering services.

In an email Hall also reaffirmed the selectboard’s commitment to renovating and upgrading Panton Town Hall: “We are trying to restore the building to the best of the town’s ability and resources and will continue to work toward that goal.”

Habitat for Humanity buys four building lots in city

By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — Habitat for Humanity of Addison County has big future plans for the Little City.

Those plans are being made possible by the Oct. 16 purchase of four Booth Woods building lots from the Raymond Danyow Family Trust. And the sale came at a price that Habitat officials said will make it easier for the nonprofit to turn around and sell volunteer-built homes to Vergennes-area working families at an affordable cost.

“They legitimately seemed happy to make a contribution to the community,” said county Habitat board president Mickey Heinecken of the Danyow family.

According to property-transfer documents at Vergennes City Hall, Habitat paid $25,000 for four lots ranging from more than one-third to more than one-half of an acre.

Booth Woods is a subdivision off Green Street near the Waltham town line. It is served by city water and sewer and a city road that enters from its south end and exits from the north end.

The four new Habitat lots are lined up along the entry road on the right, just off Green Street. They are essentially level, and also near power.

The lots conform to Vergennes zoning and have an existing Act 250 permit, although that permit might have to be updated or renewed.

The fact the lots are so easy to develop will help keep costs down for the local Habitat organization, which draws most of its funding from local donations and grants from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, and in turn for its buyers.

“That becomes advantageous to us,” Heinecken said.

The county Habitat organization has worked around much of the county, and is just wrapping up work on a four-home project in Cornwall.

Permitting for what the board hopes will be a two-lot project on Seymour Street in Middlebury is in process.

But Heinecken said Bristol is otherwise as far north as Habitat as ventured within the county.

“Being able to build in Vergennes

is really important to us,” he said.

Heinecken said Habitat board members Poppy Cunningham, a Booth Woods resident, and Michael Johnson, Vergennes-area real estate broker, were instrumental in putting together the Booth Woods deal.

In the Habitat press release Johnston said the organization wanted to broaden its service area for a number of reasons.

“We are looking forward to being part of a volunteer team committed to providing affordable housing to citizens in the greater Vergennes community,” said Johnston. “By building homes in the Vergennes area, Habitat will broaden its reach to hard-working families in need of affordable, efficient housing, and expand our volunteer and donor base to the northern end of the county.”

Vergennes Mayor — and Habitat volunteer — Renny Perry also weighed in with a comment in the

Winter parking ban begins MIDDLBURY — The Middlebury Police Department reminds drivers that the town’s winter parking ban took effect Nov. 1 and extends through April 1. The ban prohibits parking between midnight and 6 a.m. on town streets and in municipal parking lots. Vehicles parked in violation of the ban are subject to ticketing, towing, and impounding at the owner’s expense.

There are designated overnight parking areas in the lower municipal lot off of Bakery Lane and the Frog Hollow Lot on Mill Street, that are excluded from the parking ban.

Signs are posted to designate the excluded areas.

Signs alerting drivers to this Winter Parking Ban are clearly posted on all major entry routes to the town.

press release.

“This means in the near future, affordable housing will be constructed in Vergennes to meet the needs of working families in Addison County. The city needs this housing and it will be a welcome addition to the Booth Woods neighborhood,” Perry said.

Exactly how near that future will be is uncertain. Heinecken said the local Habitat organization has the funding and volunteer workforce (volunteers

typically work on Wednesdays and Saturdays) to build one home a year.

Next up will almost certainly be at least one home, and possibly two, on Middlebury’s Seymour Street. But Heinecken said that schedule is not necessarily set in stone, other than the annual construction pace. Habitat could turn its attention to Vergennes after one home in Middlebury, for example.

“There are no restrictions in our plans,” he said. “We’re just going to

build one home a year. That part is not going to be accelerated.”

Vermont Housing and Conservation Board guidelines determine families’ financial eligibility for Habitat homes. Currently a family must earn no more than 70 percent of the county’s median income, an amount that, for example, translates to about $52,000 for a family of four, according to Heinecken.

“They’re all working families.

They don’t qualify for standard mortgages,” he said. “The big piece is affordability.”

A typical no-interest Habitat mortgage, with the parent Habitat for Humanity organization essentially serving as the bank, might be $135,000, Heinecken said. and with taxes and insurance a monthly payment might add up to about $800 or a little more. Families are also expected to make a $500 down payment and contribute at least 200 hours of construction sweat equity, hours Heinecken said are routinely exceeded.

Heinecken added Habitat homes are now built with extra insulation and furnished with efficient airexchanging heat pumps to keep heating costs down to $500 or $600 a year.

“That’s also part of affordability,” he said.

Heinecken said he doesn’t think Habitat is “saving the world,” but he hopes it is making it a better place by creating needed affordable housing.

“When a family moves in … it changes everything,” he said. “I think we’ve been able to make a solid contribution to help Addison County improve what is obviously a huge problem.”

A D D IS ON INDE P E NDEN T

Editorials

An Election Day primer

Tomorrow is Election Day. In Vermont’s two-year election cycle, every office is up for grabs. As is typical, there will be several names on the ballot many voters will not be familiar with. That’s OK, don’t panic, and above all, don’t NOT vote.

If you’re feeling unprepared, here’s a quick guide before you step into the voting booth, along with some pointers from which to base your vote: US Senate: Sen. Bernie Sanders, 77, Independent, is the incumbent and heavily favored to win. Lawrence Zupan is his Republican opponent, along with six other Independents, and one from the Libertarian Party. While opponents have landed a few zingers against Sander’s egocentric arrogance, he’s on the right side of the issues and no one will beat him.

US House: Rep. Peter Welch, Democrat, 71, is seeking his seventh consecutive two-year term. He faces Charleston Republican Anya Tynio, Independent Cris Ericson and Liberty Union’s Laura Potter. Rep. Welch represents Vermont well and should be returned to office.

Vermont Governor: Gov. Phil Scott, R, is vying against Democrat-Progressive Christine Hallquist, three Independents, and two others. Scott is hard not to like and his policies are mostly moderate. He has consistently defied Trump and took a bold stance to approve common sense gun control legislation. But, as governor he foregoes leadership and choses to be a backseat driver. He lets the Legislature plow forward in the vacuum he creates, then yells at them when it’s too late — a strategy that has him governing by veto. Hallquist would work collaboratively with the Legislature and achieve better results.

Lt. Governor: Incumbent David Zuckerman, Progressive-Democrat, is vying against Republican Don Turner and a Liberty Union candidate. Turner has recently changed from a strident social and tax conservative to a mellow moderate, but don’t be fooled. Turner is no moderate. He has used his role as Minority Leader to inflame the rhetoric and politics in Vermont. Zuckerman is articulate, a frugal organic farmer and argues with reason, not partisan fervor.

Vote for Zuckerman.

Other statewide offices: Among the other statewide offices there are few serious challengers. That’s partly because they all deserve to be reelected. They are: Sec. of State Jim Condos, D; Auditor of Accounts Doug Hoffer, D; Attorney General T.J. Donovan, D. ********** Area House races: Four candidates are vying for two seats in Addison-4, representing Bristol, Lincoln, Monkton and Starksboro. Rep. Fred Baser, R, is the only incumbent seeking reelection. Democrat Mari Cordes, Lincoln, and Starksboro Democrat Caleb Elder, and Monkton Republican Vallerie Mullin join the battle. In other House races, the incumbents are unopposed. All four candidates would serve the county well; Elder, Cordes and Baser have the edge.

Addison-3, representing Vergennes, Addison, Ferrisburgh, Panton and Waltham, sees incumbent Rep. Diane Lanpher, D-Vergennes, and running mate Democrat Matt Birong, also of Vergennes, vying against incumbent Rep. Warren Van Wyck, R-Ferrisburgh. Wyck had announced his retirement from politics last spring, but jumped back in after Republicans could not find another candidate.

Lanphere is a moderate who has served the district well. Matt Birong is precisely what the Legislature needs — a young businessman with good ideas. Vote Lanphere and Birong.

Addison-Rutland 1: This is a two-way race for the one seats representing Orwell, Shoreham, Benson and Whiting. Incumbent Rep. Terry Norris, I-Shoreham, is facing Democrat Barbara Wilson. In February 2017, Gov. Scott had picked Norris to fill a seat vacated by Alyson Eastman, Orwell-I. Both have farm backgrounds and would serve the district well.

County Senate race: In the hottest local race, incumbent Chris Bray, D-New Haven, and Democrat Ruth Hardy are squaring off against Independents Marie Audet and Paul Ralston, Republican Peter Briggs and Archie Flower. The Independent’s columnist Eric Davis noted previously that the money spent in this race so far rivals what one would see in the Chittenden County Senate race (per candidate) and is an indication of how competitive the race is, adding that the outcome is likely “to be close.” Lots has been written; you choose.

Sheriff, States Attorney, Assistant Judge: In the county race for Sheriff, Middlebury Democrat Peter Newton will face Independent Kevin Gibbs, former police chief of Bristol. Ron Holmes, who lost in the primary to Newton, is waging a write-in campaign. In the state’s attorney race, Incumbent Democrat Dennis Wygmans faces a challenge from Peter Bevere, an Independent from Middlebury. Both have excellent legal backgrounds for the job Wygmans had previously worked as deputy prosecutor in Chittenden County and Bevere is the current chief deputy prosecutor in Rutland County. All four are good candidates; can’t go wrong.

In the assistant judges race, Democrats Jacqueline McLean and Patricia Ross are vying against Republicans Alice George and Doug Tolles. One of the two Democrats and George should get the nod. Voters should be wary of casting a vote for Tolles, who has shown himself to be disruptive, accusatory and threatening on occasions in which this paper has interacted with him in public settings. Voters would do better with any of the other three candidates.

In the other two county posts — probate judge and high bailiff — the incumbents are running unopposed. Above all, vote. It does matter and it is important to our democracy.

Letters to the Editor Bray and Hardy are the right choices for our senators I enthusiastically support both Chris Bray and Ruth Hardy to be our state senators from Addison County. Both of them are honest, and both of them are smart. Chris realizes that we won’t clean up Lake Champlain without expending some effort and some money. His proposal for a per parcel annual fee to support lake cleanup would spread the cost among all Vermont landowners, not pointing fingers at any one group, even though we know that manure runoff from dairy farms is a major source of the phosphates feeding vegetation growth in the

water. For her part, Ruth Hardy is one of the few people I know who understands, and more importantly, can explain Vermont’s complicated system of school funding. She has guided the Addison Central Supervisory Union through its consolidation process and presented school budgets to local town meetings with remarkable clarity.

I have followed the two ”independent” candidates with interest. To the extent that they have taken actual positions on the issues (not much), they seem to be essentially “Republican lite.”

But most of the time, they express themselves in generalities, which sound warm and appealing but don’t actually reveal how they would address the specific and often complex decisions that our legislators must face. I don’t see that elected them would do anything to alleviate gridlock in Montpelier. Far better, in my view, to increase the Democratic majority in both houses so that some of Governor Scott’s vetoes can be overridden.

Act 46 allows debate on priorities

Letters to the Editor Orwell urged to back Act 46 merger

As a taxpayer and citizen of Orwell, I’m writing to share my reasoning for supporting the district voting YES to accept Orwell into the Slate Valley Unified Union School District.

I am thankful we live in a town that is extremely passionate about our school, children and community as a whole. Yet, it’s important that there is balance behind that passion. I’m extremely concerned about the tax rate if we don’t merge; there is not a lowering of taxes in sight if Orwell goes at this alone.

Much of this concern is due to the mechanisms in the education formula. There are many variables that affect the tax rate — to name a few, student numbers which are unlikely to increase enough to lower or even level taxes, revenue which we have very little of and overall expenditures. Without significant changes in revenue or increase in students we would be looking to cut programs/teachers. We know our taxpayers don’t want to cut programs/ teachers.

In addition, Orwell will lose the small schools grant, not be able to take advantage of the tax incentives, and with the significant building infrastructure needs in Orwell, Orwell will be responsible for the entire bill.

If Orwell joins Slate Valley, they will be able to combine our infrastructure needs with the rest of the district’s.

Orwell’s tax rate increased by 15 cents this year and is expected to significantly increase in the coming year again. The 2018/2019 Slate Valley (PreK-8) tax rate is $1.2805 after the 8-cent incentive for merging, while Orwell’s is $1.4911 (both rates are before the common level of appraisal).

I believe our school is at more of a risk of closing if Orwell continues to goes at this alone, I also believe our taxpayers deserve to know how their taxes could be affected.

It’s important to note that Benson may begin to share Art, Spanish, Health, Physical Education and Nurse positions with schools within the Slate Valley district, instead of just with Orwell. As of this year, Benson no longer is sharing an Art teacher with Orwell, rather they share with FHGS. It will be difficult to fill these shared positions at Orwell as they are not full time, yet we’ve been able to offer full time positions over the years while working together with Benson.

Let’s not also overlook the fact that there would be school choice amongst all the elementary schools in the Slate Valley Unified Union. Orwell is not currently able to participate in school choice.

The Slate Valley merger has provided both noticeable and behind the scenes benefits for the schools, staff and students of those merged districts. Administrators work with one school board to address the priorities and issues of the whole district, which allows the administration to work as a more unified entity.

The Slate Valley merger promotes and supports equity among the buildings for physical needs as well as student needs. Student Resource Officers are available at the merged schools everyday. This has enhanced school security and enabled the officers to become part of the school community by building positive relationships with students from the Pre-K level up through the high school. They are available for support during student crisis instances and have proved to be an invaluable asset all the way around.

Orwell does not have a Student Resource Officer.

Access to furniture and other supplies that may be in excess in other buildings has already saved money on unnecessary purchases.

There has been a more rapid response to building and grounds issues.

Students in both Benson and Fair Haven have now joined Castleton Village School for the Lifetime Activities Programming. This has opened up eight weeks of over 40 activities, including Pico, for students to experience.

Benson and Castleton Village schools have joined for their 8th grade D.C. trip to Washington to increase the pre-high school opportunities for students to get to know one another.

More possibilities are being discussed every day. There is no longer the cloud of: “if we only could but with our numbers or budget or staffing we can’t.” It is now, “let’s work together to make things happen.”

I believe our students will have more opportunities if Orwell is merged into the district, therefore I’ll be voting YES! Alyson Eastman, Orwell

This generative process helps tackle habits of thinking that might be holding us back.

One such habit of thinking is our current configuration of students.

Because we currently group students across four buildings in three clusters of K-6, and one cluster of 7-12, our thinking going forward tends to hold this as a fixed idea. This fixed mindset is what causes us to believe that our only option is to close a school since enrollment is dropping dangerously low. I encourage us to focus not on the four buildings but rather on our PreK-12th grade students and ask What do we most hope to achieve by any change possibility?

The rapid and dramatic development of life at this stage — intellectually, socio-emotionally and physically — encourages these students to ask rich questions about themselves and the world around them. In truth, nearly every conclusion students draw about themselves and their place in the world is made during this critical time in their lives. They develop habits of living that can either enhance their future possibilities or create barriers to their success.

Certainly our world has only become more complicated since this was first published; and the needs of our youth even more complex.

Hackett planted many ‘acorns’ One afternoon in 1991, Fred Hackett invited me to join him on a hike of Camel’s Hump. I considered it an honor, given that he had sponsored the legislation years before to make that mountain a state park. The next day we hit the trail an hour earlier than I usually woke up, but it meant we had the peak largely to ourselves.

I’d brought apples, bagels and chocolate for a summit snack, but Fred declined it all. His provisions amounted to unwrapping one of those green and white peppermint hard candies they keep beside the register at the Windjammer, where he ate lunch nearly every weekday for years (cup of soup, half a sandwich).

FRED HACKETT Another time, I stood beside him on the porch of the Mount Mansfield Trout Club, considering I had some issue wrong. Always he a swim in the pond. “Does it ever was worth listening to. Always.

For a time Fred was a politician, warm up?” I asked him. He gave a Republican of the old stripe. me a big smile. “Never.”

I was lucky enough to be one of those acorns.

Community Foundation celebrated its 25th anniversary with a party at Shelburne Farms, there was a moment that the founders one by one were invited to stand onstage.

When Fred’s name was called, however, no one came forward. He wasn’t interested in being thanked.

He was busy planting other acorns.

Another example: Fred was chairman of the University of Vermont board when the president resigned after failing to deal with student discontent. Who did Fred choose to take the helm, to bring stability and restore order? Thomas Salmon, the man who had defeated him in that gubernatorial race.

Fred’s concern was not himself, it was the institution.

He was a devoted husband, a proud father, a doting grandfather.

A generous friend too: I recall a brunch in which he and his wife Sally served local hothouse tomatoes when they were a new thing — I ate an entire plateful without a word from them. Later I learned that I’d gobbled about $25 in tomatoes.

Frugality, humility, generosity — these words are like antiques now in a world of noise and selfpromotion. But over and over they made a difference because Fred made a difference.

If someday you find yourself atop Camel’s Hump, please take a moment to reflect that someone had the vision to see a state park, to preserve that unique landscape for everyone to enjoy, and to seek none of the credit. He made Vermont a better place, one acorn at a time.

We shall not see his like again.

Folk-Ameriana duo to play at Brandon Music Saturday Formerly from Nashville, The Rough & Tumble now find themselves living full time on the road, in a 16-foot camper with an 85-pound puppy named Puddle.

The folk-Americana duo has been making tire tracks nationwide since 2011, and the camper stops at Brandon Music on Saturday, Nov. 10, for a 7:30 p.m. performance.

On their new album, “We Made Ourselves a Home When We Didn’t Know,” the duo retrace their mileage back to their footsteps and explore the struggle between going home and being home already when there’s no other home and everywhere is home.

The album is a portrait of what has happened so far and what they hope is still to come.

The Rough & Tumble know how the tread wears down on the tires when you play 140 shows in a year cross-country. They’re willing to stop, should the music run out of them and the road end, but until then, don’t miss the chance to see MAIDEN VERMONT CHORUS and special guests will fill Town Hall Theater with song on Saturday, Nov. 10, at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. THT is located at 68 S.

Arts Beat (Continued from Page 10) “We booked the group for 2 concerts this time around, because I feel that just about everybody in town would thrill to this group,” says artistic director Douglas Anderson.

“During these difficult times, it’s so reassuring to see these young people and hear their joyful message.”

Formed on the campus of historically black Howard University in 1968, the Howard Gospel Choir has performed throughout the world.

“This kind of open-throated, openhearted singing is unlike any other concert experience,” Anderson says.

“These students aren’t just singing.

They’re sharing with us their deepest beliefs and convictions, and doing it joyfully. You can’t help but be moved by this experience.”

DEGAS: PASSION FOR PERFECTION AT THT Town Hall Theater welcomes November’s Great Art Wednesdays film “Degas: Passion for Perfection” with two showings on Wednesday, Nov. 7, at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.

“Degas: Passion for Perfection” offers a unique insight into Degas’ personal and creative life, looking at his relationship with the impressionist movement, fascination with dance, and struggle with his eyesight, which in time would prevent him making art altogether.

The film uncovers the fascinating story of his obsessive pursuit for perfection both through experimentation with new techniques and the study of past masters, including Italian Renaissance artists and nearcontemporaries such as Ingres and Delacroix.

Along with close-up views of Degas’ work, written accounts by friends and commentators and letters by Degas himself reveal the complex inner workings of one of France’s most influential artists.

Tickets $13/$8 students.

Tickets may be purchased at townhalltheater.org, by calling 802382-9222, at the THT box office Monday-Saturday, noon to 5 p.m., or at the door one hour before show time. The THT is located at 68 S. Pleasant Street in Middlebury.

INTERNATIONAL FILM SERIES The 2018-2019 Hirschfield International Film Series continues on Saturday, Nov 10, at Middlebury College with the 2018 Austria/ Canada film “The Dark” directed by Justin P. Lange.

Once upon a dark, dark time, there was a girl, lonely, undead and bloodthirsty. Behind her a dark, dark past — a curse. Hidden in the dark, dark woods, she tirelessly haunts her childhood home. Mina (Nadia Alexander) is a damaged soul, and

tears to pieces anyone who dares enter her hunting ground. When she meets Alex (Toby Nichols), a disfigured and blind boy, brought to her by mysterious circumstances, her animalistic cannibal instincts seem to strangely fade away. As this uncanny friendship grows, little by little, both of these lost children learn how to reach out to the hints of light left within.

The film will be shown at 3 and again at 8 p.m. in Dana Auditorium at Sunderland. It’s free. Some of the films in this series may be inappropriate for children, and this is one of them.

Hospice Volunteer Services, ARCH to merge Collaboration will help terminally ill

ADDISON COUNTY — The boards of directors of Hospice Volunteer Services (HVS) & Addison Respite Care Home (ARCH) recently announced plans to merge agencies to become one entity.

Both agencies’ missions reflect providing for compassionate care and support for those in our community who are facing end of life and loss.

Board members said they believe a merge is exciting news for families, loved ones, elders, hospice patients, non-hospice patients, those dying in their own homes, those who can not stay in their homes, those suffering a loss, friends, caregivers, and all of us who care.

Each agency will continue providing specialized services within the community: • HVS will continue providing certified volunteers and bereavement support.

• ARCH will continue supporting

dedicated spaces for those living with dying.

• Both will continue working with community partners to sponsor educational opportunities about end of life care and bereavement.

With 50 years of combined service, they believe that together they can do more. HVS marks 35 years of end of life services in Addison County with a commitment to honor the past, celebrate the present and to plan for the future. ARCH was established 15 years ago to provide rooms and

end of life care to individuals who are unable to complete their lives at home.

Officials announced the following goals: • Together we will operate more efficiently.

• Together we will strengthen current and new programs.

• Together we will honor each other’s missions.

Their promise with the merging of HVS and ARCH is that the two organizations are listening to the public and keeping community

Forum (Continued from Page 5) We have the opportunity to embrace this challenge and build a system that addresses these complex needs more fully. Fortuitously, this comes at a time when we are transforming the educational experience of high school students through developing strong studentcentered approaches to learning that include robust flexible pathways such as Early College, Dual Enrollment, and internships.

Laying a strong foundation in middle school will support students in taking full advantage of these options as they continue in our system. Carving out distinct identities (5-8, 9-12) as we pursue both these priorities makes sense.

We currently have middle school age students in all four of our buildings. I can think of no greater gift to give these young learners than a place to call their own; surrounded by adults committed and supported in creating an ideal learning environment for this watershed moment in their lives.

Restructuring middle and high school leaves us open to many possibilities at the primary level.

For example, rather than replicating the learning experience across our elementary schools we could carve out unique identities that provide true options and choice for parents and families.

Taking advantage of an outdoor learning environment in one location, while building a state of the art makerspace in another are two unique approaches to science learning. Both achieve the same ends but through different means.

In this way we can build a greater variety of options more affordably.

It is also an attractive draw for families considering a move to our area, which may help to address declining enrollment.

While these are only ideas, I think they model the kind of thinking necessary for us to take full advantage of this unique time in our district. We have a highly-skilled staff, a wonderfully supportive school board and community, talented administrators, and an engaged student body. We also have four buildings in top shape for many years to come. These are the ingredients for a successful innovation if we can remain open to ideas and possibilities.

Let’s remain curious about the concepts and issues we are facing so we can be open to new information and stay on the lookout for innovative options that can be put into practice so as to truly bring even better outcomes for our students.

needs at the center of this process.

Their intentions are to transition seamlessly to best serve the community. As they anticipate a completed integration in 2019, members of ARCH and HVS are enthusiastic and optimistic about the future of end of life care within our unique community, Addison County.

For more information, visit the new website: endoflifevt.org where people can be directed to either agency or keep track of our integration.

WomenSafe to present the film, ‘Break the Silence’ on Nov. 15 MIDDLEBURY — WomenSafe and Planned Parenthood of Northern New England will present an “Evening to Honor Women’s Rights,” on Thursday, Nov. 15, featuring a screening of Willow O’Feral’s film “Break the

Silence,” a one-hour documentary profiling reproductive and sexual health stories. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring filmmaker O’Feral, and advocates from WomenSafe and Planned Parenthood. All proceeds

will benefit the life-changing work of these organizations.

“Break the Silence” features raw, powerful, intimate interviews with 18 southern Vermont women about their personal sexual and reproductive health histories.

Vermont women from diverse backgrounds candidly recount their histories of sex education, early sexual experiences, abortion, birth control, relationships, gender transition, menstruation, STIs, gynecological exams, sexual assault,

pregnancy, pleasure, and much more.

“Break the Silence” challenges social taboo with unflinching candor, courageous vulnerability, and often great humor.

O’Feral is a documentary filmmaker currently living in southern Vermont. “Break the Silence” is her debut feature film.

O’Feral is a founding member of the Women’s Action Team, a feminist collective in southern Vermont.

The film arose out of conversations with the Women’s Action Team around advancing reproductive justice, destroying rape culture and misogyny, and creating a more vibrant and joyful world for all of us.

Tickets available at townhalltheater.org and in person at Town Hall Theater (box office open Monday-Saturday, noon-5 p.m.).

Congratulations to Dylan Mackie of Brandon, who has been named Otter Valley Union High School’s Student of the Week. Dylan is the son of Tara and Troy Mackie of Brandon. His brother Conor is an apprentice electrician at Interstate Electric and his sister Brielle is in 9th grade.

At OVUHS, Dylan has taken many advanced classes, such as CP (College Prep) Chemistry, Trigonometry, Pre Calculus, and Advanced American Studies. He has been on the scholars roll and honor roll throughout high school. Scholars roll is what he strives for and he has gotten it in most marking periods of high school. He has also received excellence in Advanced American Studies in 11th grade, excellence in Advanced American History in 10th grade, excellence in English 9 in 9th grade, and excellence in Spanish 2 in 9th grade. He was inducted into the National Honors Society in 11th grade.

Dylan is involved in multiple sports every year. He has played varsity basketball since 9th grade, varsity soccer in 9th grade, JV/V football in 10th grade, and varsity football in 11th/12th. He has also been a player coach in Unified Basketball since 10th grade.

Dylan helps coach and teach the Unified Basketball team at Otter Valley. The Unified team is for mentally delayed students. He says, “It Dylan Mackie is a wonderful opportunity for them to play a sport, and I am glad that I OVUHS can help them enjoy basketball as much as I do. I was one of the first students to join and start helping, and I will be playing again this year.

Outside of school, Dylan enjoys playing basketball, hanging out with his friends, listening to music, and working out.

“Throughout my high school career, I have learned to be as outgoing as possible,” says Dylan. “The people you meet shape your experience.”

After high school Dylan plans on going to college to study business.

“Dylan is a very courteous and positive individual,” says his English teacher Mrs. Roberts. “He is consistently respectful, and is willing to help anyone regardless of the situation. Dylan is also a very conscientious individual, and takes pride in the quality of his school work. Dylan has received numerous academic awards, including Excellence in Advanced American Studies, and was inducted into the National Honor Society last year. Dylan is also an impressive athlete and a positive role model who is looked upon for his leadership skills on the field. Dylan clearly understands the value and importance of working as part of a group, as he has impressively been on three varsity teams since he was a freshman in high school and has won numerous awards for his leadership abilities.”

The staff, faculty and students wish Dylan all the best in the years to come.

Mt. Abraham Union High School is pleased to present Elizabeth Siminitus as its Student of the Week. Elizabeth is the daughter of Joan and Mark Siminitus of Starksboro. Her sister Julia is attending St. John’s College in Santa Fe, N.M. An excellent student, Elizabeth has garnered highest honors and academic excellence every year of high school. She took AP Calculus AB and AP US History junior year and is currently enrolled in AP Biology and AP English Literature and Composition. Over the summer she took a public speaking course at UVM. She is also taking the highest-level French class offered at Mt. Abe. Sophomore year she was accepted to attend the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership seminar.

She has joined the fall and spring musicals every year, both as a cast member and in costuming. She has also played trombone in concert band and jazz band every year and was accepted into the Vermont Youth Philharmonia last spring. Elizabeth has been on the varsity track team every year. She played JV soccer freshman and sophomore years and varsity as a junior. In her sophomore year she started running indoor track and joined the Scholar’s Bowl team and remains on both teams. She has been a member of Community Elizabeth Siminitus Council and was elected treasurer sophomore through senior year.

MAUHS She is also a member of the Environmental Action Group every year.

Outside of school Elizabeth serves as a lifeguard and a camp counselor over the summer. Every Sunday she volunteers as a religious education teacher at St. Ambrose church in Bristol. In her free time, she loves to read everything she can. She also enjoys downhill skiing, listening to music, playing with her dog, and taking mini road trips with her sister and friends to the movies and other places.

Of high school Elizabeth says, “It took me a while to learn, but I realized that there is such a thing as too many activities ... I wanted to be involved in everything, but I had to learn what was healthiest for me, which is different for everyone. We all learn differently and we all deal with events differently, so it’s important to focus on yourself and try not to compare too much with the people around you. Focus on you, and try to have fun!”

Elizabeth is in the process of applying to college. “I don’t really know what my future will hold, but I’m ready to see where life takes me,” she says.

Advanced French teacher Jori Jacobeit says, “Beyond her exceptional academic performance, Elizabeth has poured her heart into Mt. Abraham for the past six years. She has left her mark on our school community through her engagement in athletics, the arts and student leadership.”

Everyone at Mt. Abe wishes Elizabeth well when she moves on to college and beyond.

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.

Can a tie-dyed-shirt-wearing veggie farmer break the GOP grip on Rutland?

By ALAN J. KEAYS, VT. DIGGER CASTLETON – Greg Cox stood alone on a narrow patch of grass surrounded by pavement and stop-

and-go traffic last Wednesday afternoon. The 67-year-old West Rutland vegetable farmer, wearing a thick sweater and worn pants, waved

his green and white campaign sign at those passing by.

There was barely enough turf for a lawnmower, let alone one of his tractors. It was also a little too chilly for him to be short-sleeved in one of his trademark tie-dye T-shirts.

Cox, with his signature bushy hair and mustache, is well-known for his work in growing Rutland’s farmers market and agricultural economy, so much so he earned the award as the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce Businessperson of the Year in 2016.

On Wednesday, Cox was letting motorists at the interchange of routes 4 and 30 in Castleton know he’s running for one of three state senate seats from Rutland County.

A busier and much more popular spot for state senate candidates to do a sign wave is about 20 minutes east, at the corners of routes 4 and 7 in Rutland City, the county’s most populous community by far.

However, Cox said he chose this location Wednesday on the advice of a past state senator from the county.

“Bill Carris told me about this spot,” Cox said, referring to the last Democrat to win a state senate seat from the Republican stronghold of Rutland County. Carris, a three-term state senator, last won election to a state senate seat in 2012.

This past legislative session, three of the seven GOP members in the 30-person state Senate hailed from Rutland County. Now, Cox, owner of Boardman Hill Farm in West

Rutland and president of the board of Vermont Farmers Food Center in Rutland, is seeking to become the next senator with a “D” next to their name to represent the county in the Legislature’s upper chamber.

And, while there’s no polling data to backup the claims, some think he has a pretty good shot.

“He has signed on to be a Democrat, but honestly, he is more of an independent,” said Julian Fenn, chair of the county’s Democratic Party. “He has an agenda that appeals to people across parties.”

Illustrating Cox’s cross-party appeal, he was recently featured in a book on aging hippies in Vermont and feted by the region’s largest business group.

Several factors appear to be at play that could help Democrats catch up after its slow start to the countywide campaign, not the least of which is only one incumbent left running in the three-seat race.

And even if a “blue wave” bolstering Democratic candidates doesn’t occur, Fenn said just a small ripple could produce enough to send down ticket candidates over the top.

Cox is making his first run public office. “Nobody really knows my politics,” he said. He started his campaign as an independent, but eventually agreed to run on both the Democratic and Progressive tickets.

“I was up front up with them. I told them, ‘I do not wear a team T-shirt, I am not representing a party,’” he said. “I really believe that parties are,

in fact, one of the biggest, if not the biggest, problem in politics.”

Cox added, “I just want to represent people in Rutland County and break down some of that crap.”

He said he’s campaigning with a focus on small business, and further expanding Vermont’s agricultural economy and brand.

He talks of providing more incentives to Vermont-based startups and “emerging local companies,” while assessing impact fees to outof-state franchises and multinational corporations, such as Starbucks, which recently announced plans to open a shop in Rutland.

The Rutland County Senate race features six major party candidates vying for three seats. Only one incumbent is on the ballot — Republican Brian Collamore, a local radio personality running for his third term. Former Rutland Town state representative James McNeil, a downtown Rutland businessman, and Ed Larson, a retired member of the Rutland Police Department and past city alderman, earned the party’s two other spots on the general election ballot.

On the Democratic side, the candidates include Cox, who initially planned to run as an independent; Cheryl Hooker, a former member of the both the state House and Senate, as well as a past member of the city Board of Aldermen; and Scott Garren, former chair of the Rutland County Democratic Party, who also ran for a state Senate seat in 2016.

Abe and did not have another job he was going to, it immediately raised red flags,” said Danielle Hill, the parent of a Mt. Abe student.

According to Hill, a few parents met with Bouvier the week after he resigned and asked him if he’d be willing to reconsider — if they were able to “generate enough support from teachers, students and community members to help facilitate whatever changes needed to be made.” He said he would.

To gather community voices in one place, Hill created an online petition, which more than 300 people signed.

“Justin is an integral positive part of the Bristol community,” wrote Judy Mayer on the petition. “If he is resigning, something is very wrong.”

Another petition supporter, Bristol Teen Center director Brian LeClair, described Bouvier’s fierce advocacy on behalf of youth, both inside and

wrote. “There is no way a man who has worked his whole life to be exactly where he is right now would truly want to leave unless there were major fundamental issues with our school’s administrative system.”

High school counselor Alan Kamman pointed to the “astonishing turnover” of administrators in the district, 16 of whom had departed over the last six years, according to his count.

Later in the meeting, however, board chair Dawn Griswold revealed that Bouvier had indeed written to rescind his resignation — four days prior.

The MAUSD board “definitely stands behind concerns expressed about problems that arise in the district,” Griswold later told the Independent. Deciding how to solve specific problems, however, would be up to the superintendent, Patrick Reen.

“We are making changes to increase equity across our schools,” Reen said. Budget targets, declining enrollment and district unification can “create challenging circumstances which frustrate some employees.” Still, he added, “I am optimistic that we are moving toward a place of improving outcomes for our students.”

At Mt. Abe, principal Jessica Barewicz was all ears.

“I welcome individuals who have feedback (positive and constructive) on how we can improve as a school to call or meet with me,” she said. “I’m open to all ideas and perspectives. This winter I plan to hold community roundtable

discussions to give more open and routine avenues for dialogue.”

Hill viewed Bouvier’s rescission letter as a victory.

“At the school board meeting we learned that Justin felt he had enough support from the students, staff, faculty and community that he rescinded his resignation and will remain assistant principal at Mt. Abe,” she posted to her petition page. “The school board has been asked to help facilitate the needed

changes to create solutions to the problem that led us to this point (in the first place).”

But this isn’t over, she told the Independent separately, “not by a long shot. This is simply the first step in the process of facilitating positive change at Mt. Abe. This was one battle, not the whole war.”

A tie-breaking shootout loomed after the top-seeded Eagles lost a 2-0 lead on a pair of late goals by the No. 2 Burr & Burdon Bulldogs.

Those tallies sent the title game into 7-on-7 sudden-death overtime and Cook, already the Eagles’ standout scorer of the day, ended it with her third goal of the day.

Cook strike at 4:12 of the second five-minute extra session let Mount Abraham avoid a fickle shootout on the drenched field. It gave the Eagles (11-3-3) their first title since 2013 and the eighth of Coach Mary Stetson’s tenure.

Conditions were cold and slick in the steady rain, and Stetson said days like Saturday are the reason the final two rounds of field hockey

games are staged on turf surfaces.

“It wasn’t comfortable by any stretch of the imagination, but it was the same for both teams. We wouldn’t be playing if we didn’t play on turf,” she said.

Cook’s said she took advantage of her opportunity and the conditions to claim a championship that the

Eagles nearly let slip away. As they did often in Saturday’s final, the Eagles swarmed the Burr & Burton defensive end, and Cook wound up in the right spot at the right time.

“We had the ball down there a lot.

We had been dominating the second half and I just saw the goalie slip. It was super slippery and I knew I had

to put that one in,” Cook said.

Prior to the overtime, Cook said Stetson told the team “to play our game and stick together because if we play our game, we could pull it out.”

With that goal, the Eagles’ secondhalf struggles to put the ball in the cage, in part because of the play of Bulldog goalie Hannah Callen, became history.

“We didn’t execute well in the second half in terms of our play. We had numerous opportunities in the second half. Their goalie did a great job of coming up with some big saves,” Stetson said, adding, “I give Burr & Burton a lot of credit. They played until the final whistle.”

Cook said the Eagles bounced back after the 10-6-1 Bulldogs scored twice in the final 10 minutes to tie the score.

“We started out really strong, just playing our game,” Cook said.

“Obviously we had a little blip. I think we stepped back a little bit.

That’s not usually our game.”

Commodore girls edged in D-III final

BY ANDY KIRKALDY RANDOLPH – The No. 6 Vergennes Union High School girls’ soccer team reached Saturday’s Division III final in Randolph by knocking off the Nos. 2 and 3 seeds in one-goal nail-biters.

But in the title game Thetford, the defending champion and top-seed, flipped the script on the Commodores.

The 14-1-1 Panthers scored on corner kicks late in the first half and early in the second, and then withstood a rally by the 9-6-2 Commodores to earn a 2-1 victory.

That result ended a deep VUHS tournament run and a string of what looked like on paper to be upsets.

But the Commodores had played a majority of their regular-season games against D-II opponents, including six games against the teams that made the D-II semifinals.

They had acquitted themselves well all fall and were prepared for the D-III playoffs — really it was no surprise to see the Commodores win three postseason games.

VUHS Co-Coach Dwight Irish acknowledged the Commodores had focused on a title for a year. In 2017 they won two D-III postseason games even without two key injured athletes, midfielders and multipleyear standouts Ciara McClay and Emily Rooney, now a senior and junior, respectively.

With both McClay and Rooney back this fall, the team aimed high and came oh-so-close to achieving that goal.

“We came up one game short of what we talked about and dreamed about. It’s definitely a credit to them,” Irish said.

In part they came up short because they played another D-III team that challenged itself this fall. Thetford went 5-1 vs. D-II opponents and defeating D-II U-32, which took D-II champion Milton into double overtime in a semifinal match.

Field Hockey (Continued from Page 25) Overall, Cook said she was the benefactor of the Eagles’ persistent offensive pressure.

“We knew it was just coming down to who wanted it more and that was us,” Cook said.

Most of the season the Eagles have shared the scoring load, with players like freshmen Molly Laurent and Ava Konczal and senior central midfielders Evan Laurent and Casondra Dykstra among many Eagles racking up goals and assists.

And Stetson noted Cook added plenty of helpers before erupting for five goals and two assists in three playoff games.

“She’s been a pleasure, the quintessential team player,” Stetson said.

From game’s start, the Eagles set

the pace for extended periods of possession. The Bulldogs’ transition game occasionally created threats, but Mount Abraham set the tempo.

Stetson pointed to Evan Laurent and Dykstra as pivotal in keeping Burr & Burton out of its transition rhythm throughout most of the game, while Chessley Jackman turned in a solid performance in goal, including a huge save in overtime.

Cook’s first two goals came at 2:43 and 20:09 of the first half. The first resulted directly from Eagle ball movement and pressure.

“We started out really strong just playing our game as we had talk about it,” Cook said. “We were just using the little passes.”

The second came on a superb breakaway conversion.

“I practice those shots a lot from the side. I was just feeling it,” Cook

said. “I could see a little corner on the opposite side and I knew I had to put it in.”

Mount Abraham continued to squelch Bulldog forays until the Bulldogs’ Celsey McMahon ratcheted up the tension with her goal with inside of 10 minutes left. Then, with 4:02 remaining in regulation, Arden Wojtach jammed in the tying goal.

But the Eagle defense and Jackman had the answers in overtime.

“We grew together as a team and we were willing to execute our game plan. That was the difference,” Stetson said.

Saturday’s final marked the last time eight seniors suited up for the Mount Abe field hockey team: Cook, Dykstra, Evan Laurent, Jackman, Olivia Heath, Elayna Jennings, Rosa Tropp and Sawyer Forbes.

Vergennes wins playoff, Rice stops Mount Abe

Girls’ Soccer (Continued from Page 26) VUHS backline, and the Panthers’ 8-5 edge on corner kicks showed their edge in territory.

Irish noted fairly, however, play in the second half evened out — he wished VUHS sophomore Maria Malaney’s goal that made it 2-1 with 18:35 to go had come a little earlier.

“They’re definitely a quality team.

But we sort of ran out of time. Getting the goal a little sooner, that might have helped the cause,” Irish said.

Early on the Panthers possessed, but the VUHS back four of Emma Bryant and Sophie Hatch in the middle, Morgan Lynk on the right, and either Emma Hameline or Megan Vorsteveld on the left stepped up to break up plays. Defensive central midfielder Sydney Weber also was a thorn in the Panthers’ side and routinely beat them to the ball.

Despite the Panthers’ edge in territory, their overall advantage

in shots at goal was just 12-11, and VUHS limited their chances during the run of play.

But the Panthers were doing the same to VUHS. Irish acknowledged the Commodores could have linked up better, although certainly some of their difficulty doing so came from Panther pressure.

“Our fight was good. We could have settled a little more into possession in the middle,” he said.

MacVeagh continued to pose the most problems for VUHS during most of the first half, during which Rooney came back to help Bryant break up one dangerous corner kick.

VUHS had chances in the first half.

Thetford goalie Emma Berard (five saves) snared a long, hard McClay shot after a VUHS corner kick; a Rooney serve to striker Kylie Comeau just missed connecting; Thetford did well to disrupt a promising rush by Weber, Rooney and Comeau; and

No. 1 Cougars oust MUHS 11 to end season JERICHO — What was overall a successful Middlebury Union High School football season came to an end on a cold and rainy Saturday afternoon, when host No. 1 seed Mount Mansfield defeated the No. 5 Tigers, 38-8, in a Division I semifinal.

The Cougars improved to 8-2 and will face No. 2 Rutland, also 8-2, for the title this coming Saturday at Rutland High School.

The Tigers saw a four-game

winning streak snapped and concluded their season at 6-4. That streak included a road quarterfinal win at Rice the week before; a road victory over otherwise unbeaten Burr & Burton, D-II’s top seed; and a dramatic comeback at BurlingtonSouth Burlington.

But on Saturday the Cougars took charge early with a productive rushing attack and led at the break, 30-0.

Cougar quarterback Asa Carlson ran 24 times for 158 yards and three touchdowns, and running back Jehric Hackney rushed 27 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns, one a 54-yard run that made it 22-0 in the second quarter.

The Tiger touchdown came with 1:20 left in the fourth quarter, when Mason Kaufmann scored on a oneyard run.

ADDISON COUNTY — The Vergennes Union High School girls’ soccer team continued its march through the Division III playoffs on Wednesday, but the Mount Abraham girls came up short in their D-II road semifinal.

The No. 6 Commodores pulled off their second straight upset of a higher seed, rallying to knock off host No. 2 Oxbow, 2-1, in a double-overtime D-III semifinal in Bradford.

The Commodores faced No. 1 Thetford for the D-III title at 10 a.m. on Saturday, but lost 2-1. Randolph High School hosted that contest.

Thetford, the repeat champion, edged No. 4 Peoples, 1-0, in Wednesday’s other D-III semi.

In their Wednesday semifinal Emily Rooney scored three minutes into the second extra session to give the Commodores the victory. Maria Malaney assisted the game-winner.

Oxbow (14-2) took the lead on an Avery Barton goal in the third minute. That score held until 11 minutes were left in regulation, when Ciara McClay bent home a corner kick to tie the game and force overtime.

VUHS goalie Kate Gosliga was credited with four saves, and Oxbow’s Mason Tomlinson stopped six shots. The win was the second straight for the Commodores over teams that finished the regular season with one loss. In the quarterfinal round they defeated No. 3 Green

Mountain Union, previously 14-1.

EAGLE SOCCER In Wednesday’s D-II semifinal host No. 2 Rice hung on to edge No. 6 Mount Abe, 2-1. The setback ended a seven-game unbeaten streak for the Eagles, who played their best soccer down the stretch and upset No. 3 Harwood in a snowy semifinal.

The 9-6-2 Eagles and Rice (122-3) had battled to a pair of 1-1 ties in the regular season. Ultimately, after 280 minutes of soccer all that separated the two teams was one goal.

The Eagles carried play in the first half, but did not find the net as the first 40 minutes were scoreless.

Just 1:25 into the second half Abby McKeown drilled a free kick from just outside the Eagle box into the upper right corner to give Rice the lead. Nine minutes later Rice leading scorer Alex Dostie onetimed a cross from the right side into the lower left corner to make it 2-0.

Eagle junior midfielder Mae Peterson buried a free kick with 10 minutes to go to cut the lead, but despite late pressure Rice held on against a Mount Abe team that graduated almost a dozen seniors.

Shots on goal were even, as Rice goalie Maddie Houston made 10 saves, and Justice Green stopped nine shots for the Eagles.

Farmacy program (Continued from Page 1) in Middlebury — along with the Mountain Health Center in Bristol.

Participating farms will supply the food in shares, akin to a Community Supported Agriculture model. Each weekly share will amount to 8-10 pounds per person during a 12-week Farmacy pilot project next summer.

But the program doesn’t end with bags of food.

Participants will be given a variety of support services to make sure they get maximum benefit from the fresh produce, aimed at turning the tide on health woes ranging from hypertension to diabetes. Those services will include:

• Counseling provided through a variety of Porter dietitians, nurse case managers and referral specialists.

• Cooking, menu preparation and nutrition advice through weekly sessions hosted by the Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center. Officials from the Middlebury Natural Foods Co-op and Helping Overcome Poverty’s Effects will lend their expertise to the cooking/menu education effort.

“Our goal is to connect families in the Porter Medical Center and Mountain Health Center service areas, facing food insecurity and diet-related illness, with a health care provider’s prescription for a local farm share of

fruits and vegetables, supplemented with nutrition and cooking education,” said Acorn Executive Director Lynn Coale.Plans call for clients to pick up their Farmacy food shares at their local farmers’ market, Coale said.

Acorn will serve as fiscal agent and manager of the Farmacy program, and Vermont Department of Health officials will serve as an advisors to help measure the outcomes for participants.

The Rutland-based Vermont Farmers Food Center — which for more than three years has offered its own Farmacy plan — will give Acorn technical support and other help to make sure the program lays down

strong roots in Addison County.

“You have your local banker, teacher and retiree sitting around a table with a sex offender,” O’Brien said. “Whoever thought they’d be doing that?

And that’s just the way O’Brien wants it.

“The people in my films are very courageous,” O’Brien said. “They are brave enough to be vulnerable in front of the camera.”

There are 20 community justice centers in Vermont, and each operates a COSA program. Vermont is the only state in the union that uses COSAs that extensively, according to O’Brien.

“We are way ahead of the game, as far as other states in the union,” she said.

Jenny Quesnel leads Addison County Restorative Justice Service’s COSA offering.

She and some of her colleagues will attend the Middlebury screening of “Coming Home.”

Quesnel was given a sneak peek of the film, and praised it for its accurate portrayal of COSA. She’s spent more than three years leading Addison County’s COSA, which typically serves two or three former inmates each year. Quesnel would like to serve more clients, but the program faces two big challenges here in the county: A shortage of both volunteers and affordable housing.

“If we can’t keep (clients) in Addison County, we end up losing them,” Quesnel said.

Anyone interested in becoming a COSA volunteer should call Addison County Restorative Justice Service at 388-3888.

Meanwhile, O’Brien is looking

forward to a well-attended screening and lively Q&A in Middlebury to cap off her tour. More details about “Coming Home” can be found at kingdomcounty.org.

“As we go around the state, we’re having terrific conversations with audience members around bringing people back into communities who have served their time, and how we welcome them back and try to reintegrate them to be productive members of society,” O’Brien said.

Political activists to speak at college

MIDDLEBURY — The current political climate is a cause for stress and distress for many, and raises the question of the effectiveness of activism. On Wednesday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m., Wilson Hall, McCullough Student Center, Middlebury College, Addison County residents will have the opportunity to hear from DeRay McKesson, who has been on the front lines of activism for years.

In “Political Activism and the Case for Hope,” Black Lives

Matter advocate McKesson will present an interactive program about political activism. He will share how his liberal arts education gives perspective and informs his approach to advocacy.

McKesson is a civil rights activist, podcaster, and former school administrator known for his activism via social media outlets such as Twitter and Instagram and has been active in the protests in Ferguson, Mo., and Baltimore, Md. He has written for the Huffington

Post and The Guardian and is one of the founding members of Campaign Zero, a policy platform to end police violence. He currently hosts the Crooked Media podcast Pod Save the People.

McKesson is also the author of “On the Other Side of Freedom: The Case for Hope,” a memoir about his life and time as a Black Lives Matter organizer. His presentation is part of the Vermont Humanities Council’s First Wednesdays series.

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison County’s Humane Society

Did you know?

(MS) — According to the American Kennel Club, raspberries offer an abundance of health benefits to dogs so long as they are fed to pups in moderation. Dogs do not need to eat fruit for its nutritional value, as the AKC notes those needs are typically met by serving them high-quality dog foods. But raspberries are an excellent source of dietary fiber, which helps dogs fight obesity by keeping them feeling full for long periods of time.

And the dietary fiber found in raspberries improves dogs’ digestive systems.

And because they’re loaded with antioxidants, raspberries can help to reduce dogs’ risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. In fact, the anti-inflammatory properties of the antioxidants found in raspberries can be especially beneficial to aging dogs by alleviating their age-related joint pain. Low in both sugar and calories, raspberries are rich in vitamin C, K and B-complex, and are an excellent source of minerals such as potassium, manganese, copper, folic acid, iron, and magnesium. As beneficial as raspberries can be, the AKC notes that it’s imperative that dog owners only serve them in moderation. That’s because raspberries contain high levels of the all-natural sweetener xylitol, which can be toxic to dogs, potentially contributing to the development of liver disease and hypoglycemia as well. Dog owners who want their dogs to get all the benefits of eating raspberries without putting their pooches’ health in jeopardy should consult their veterinarians before including raspberries in Fido’s diet.

Baxter. 3 years, Lab mix, neutered male.

Baxter is a handsome, mischievous young dog looking for a home where he will gets lots of exercise and structure- if he doesn’t get enough mental and physical exercise his mischievous side can get the better of him. Baxter gets along with respectful children and dogs that he has been properly introduced to, though we are unsure how he does with cats. He is very loving, to the extent that he can become a bit over protective of the person he bonds with, but with proper exercise and firm guidance he will make a wonderful companion!

Apollo. 1 year, Hound/German Shepherd mix, neutered male. Apollo is a sweet, energetic young dog looking for a home where he will get lots of exercise and play! This sweet boy has lived with dogs and older children, and would probably do ok with a confident, dogsavvy cat. Apollo is crate trained and knows several commands, though he would benefit from additional behavior training. For Apollo to thrive in a home his new guardians will need to provide daily outlets for his energy.

With his long legs and puppy energy he would make a fantastic running/hiking partner!

Alice. 7 years, short hair Calico, spayed female. Alice is a dear gentle soul. She loves to be held, to snuggle and to purr. She is so full of love to give it’s surprising that she dislikes other felines, but who knows what she experienced while she was a stray. Alice is the cat you want to come home to after a long day at work, and will be a devoted pet to anyone who chooses her.

Tulip. 4 years, short hair dilute Tortie, spayed female. Tulip is as lovely as any spring time flower. She is a small, young, dilute Tortie with the sweetness of any flower. Pick up this kitty and she will melt into to your arms and give you an enthusiastic purr that makes you feel like no matter what the weather is outside, it will be warm and snuggly inside.

Come visit her today and see what a breath of sunshine Tulip is.

Joe. 3 years, short hair black & white, neutered male. Joe is the man and is quite the gentleman. He was a stray from Salisbury, but clearly he has spent time with humans because he is neither frightened nor timid by them. He has quickly settled into one of our community rooms and doesn’t seem to mind the other cats. He is a large boy- all muscle, mellow and all around nice guy. He loves attention and he would make a great addition to any family!

Zuzu. 1 year, American rabbit, neutered male. Zuzu is a very curious guy who loves time exploring outside his cage. Being goofy is his specialty, especially around feeding time! He enjoys toys he can carry around and throw. While he hasn’t learned to love being a lap pet yet, he adores being around people and other animals. Fresh greens with veggies twice a day will make him your friend in no time (especially red peppers and carrots!).

Call or check our website. We may have a pet for you ...

It’s against the law to discriminate when advertising housing.

Particularly on sites like Craigslist.

A RIPTON FIREFIGHTER on Oct. 18 performs a flow test at the recently installed dry hydrant on private property off Fire Brook Road. A “dry” hydrant is not connected to a water main but instead draws water from a pond or stream for firefighters to use in battling blazes in the neighborhood.

Ripton installs new dry hydrant RIPTON — Ripton Fire and Rescue completed the installation of a dry hydrant on Fire Brook Road in Ripton on Sept. 29. The installation of this dry hydrant is part of a comprehensive program to improve fire protection in the town.

Ripton Fire and Rescue is in the process of improving fire protection in town by installing dry hydrants to increase the availability and accessibility of water for firefighting purposes. The Vermont Rural Fire Protection (RFP) Task Force, through the Northern Vermont Resource Conservation and Development

Dry hydrants are a preferred method of providing water for firefighting in areas without water mains, like Ripton and much of Addison County.

TOWN OF MIDDLEBURY NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONVEYANCE

In accordance with 24 V.S.A. § 1061, the Middlebury Selectboard hereby gives notice of the proposed terms of conveyance of an easement from the Town of Middlebury (the “Town”) to Vermont Gas Systems, Inc. (“VGS”).

The proposed terms are set forth in a proposed Easement Deed and accompanying plans, all of which are on file in the office of the Middlebury Town Manager. The following is a summary of the key terms of the proposed transaction: 1. The Town will convey to VGS an easement authorizing VGS to construct, reconstruct, maintain, move, relocate, alter, inspect, repair, replace, remove, change the size of, and abandon in place pipelines to be used by VGS for the distribution of gaseous energy products. The terms of the easement are more particularly set forth in the proposed Easement Deed.

2. The proposed location of the easement is on Town Property at 1020 Route 7 South and is shown on the plans. The easement will be ten feet in width, five feet on either side of the pipeline(s) as they are installed, and will include rights of access and other terms and conditions set forth in the Easement Deeds.

3. If the Town determines that the location of the easement unreasonably interferes with the present or future use of the Town’s land, then VGS will be obligated to relocate the easement at no cost to the Town. In addition, if the easement is abandoned, then unless the Town and VGS agree otherwise in writing, VGS will be obligated to remove the pipeline and related infrastructure and return the area to its pre-removal condition, save normal wear and tear. The provisions described in this paragraph will terminate in the event that the Town conveys its property to a third party.

4. VGS will reimburse the Town’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with completing the transaction and the costs of publishing this notice.

This notice will be posted in three public places in the Town of Middlebury (the Town Office Building, the Post Office and the Ilsley Public Library). Notice shall also be published in the Addison Independent, a newspaper of general circulation within the municipality, at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed conveyance. Unless a petition objecting to the conveyance is filed in accordance with 24 V.S.A. § 1061(2), the Selectboard may proceed with the conveyance.

If a petition signed by five percent of the legal voters of the municipality objecting to the proposed conveyance is presented to the municipal clerk within 30 days of the date of posting and publication of this notice, the Selectboard shall cause the question of whether the municipality shall convey the easement to be considered at a special or annual meeting called for that purpose. After the meeting, the easement may be conveyed unless a majority of the voters of the municipality present and voting vote to disapprove of the conveyance.

Middlebury Selectboard October 23, 2018 11/5

appropriations to assist communities in installing dry hydrants to improve fire protection in rural areas of the Green Mountain State. The Vermont RFP Task Force with the assistance of the Northern Vermont Resource Conservation and Development Council administers the grant program.

Dry hydrants are a preferred method of providing water for firefighting in areas without water mains, like Ripton and much of Addison County. A dry hydrant consists of a six- to eight-inch pipe with a fitting for a fire pumper or tanker to attach. The pipe connects to a water source (pond or stream) that can supply at least 60,000 gallons under drought conditions. The Fire Brook Road installation replaces a 20-year-old non-operational hydrant at the same location. The water source is a pond on private land that can supply an estimated 160,000 gallons in drought conditions.

This is but one example of the service Ripton Fire and Rescue provides in preparation for the next alarm. Members of the organization offered their thanks to the Vermont RFP program and to the residents of Ripton for their support.

WATER FLOWS FROM the dry hydrant sticking out of the ground on the left, though the Ripton pumper truck and out of a fire hose during an Oct. 18 flow test. The newly installed dry hydrant passed the test.

Soil conservation group met at East Creek Watershed ORWELL — Change is happening on the land and that’s good news for water quality. It was highlighted recently when the Vermont Agricultural Water Quality Partnership (VAWQP) hosted a bus tour on Oct. 25 to highlight conservation in Addison County’s East Creek Watershed in Orwell. More than 40 people participated, including members of the Vermont Legislature, staff from UVM Extension, and local, state and federal agency personnel.

The tour was organized to enhance understanding of, and appreciation for, the conservation work implemented by private landowners in Vermont, with a focus on farmers.

Presentations delivered during the tour examined the coordinated and strategic approach to improving water quality with the ultimate goal of helping the state reach water quality goals.

In fiscal year 2018, Vermont farmers have invested almost one million dollars in water quality improvements and equipment, including 48 agricultural Best Management Practices (BMP’s) with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets (VAAFM). This includes implementation of agronomic practices on more than 7,000 acres of farmland to improve soil health and protect water from runoff.

The VAWQP has a mission to accelerate water quality improvements by collaborating to provide outreach, education, technical and financial assistance directly to agricultural producers with respect for each partner’s vision, role and capacity.

“Hearing about conservation is one thing, but learning about conservation from Vermont farmers really brings it home,”

Addison Historical Society sets Nov. meeting

ADDISON — Eugene and Judy Charlebois will give a “Kitchen Talk (Tonk) from Red Rock Farm” at the November Meeting of the Addison Town Historical Society later this month. The quarterly meeting will be held Sunday, Nov. 25, at 3 p.m. at the Addison Fire Station located at 44 Route 17 just west of Addison 4 Corners.

Having lived much of their lives on the south edge of Addison and the north edge of Bridport the Charleboises will share experiences they’ve had over the years in the neighborhood and in their 1810 stone house.

Traditional music has played a big role in their days at Red Rock Farm.

Light refreshments will be served.

Non-members are welcome but they will be asked for a donation.

PAMELA STEFANEK OF the Vermont Association of Conservation Districts addressed a group of about 40 area farmers and state conservationists recently who gathered at sites within Addison County’s East Creek Watershed. Also pictured is Agriculture Commissioner Anson Tebbetts, far right, Brian Kemp of Mountain Meadows Farm in Sudbury, to Stefanek’s left, Sen. Chris Bray, center left, and, far left, Director of VAAFM Water Quality Division Laura Dipietro who is whispering to Rep. Harvey Smith (hidden in the background.)

“Hearing about conservation is one thing, but learning about conservation from Vermont farmers really brings it home.”

— Agriculture Secretary Anson Tebbetts

said Agriculture Secretary Anson Tebbetts. “Through this water quality partnership, efforts to improve water quality are in full force. While we may not see the results of our work for some time, it is important to

recognize and learn about all of the work being done.”
