Architect  says  prior  estimates  incomplete By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  Architects  charged  with  advancing  Middle-­ EXU\ÂśV SURSRVHG QHZ WRZQ RIÂżFHV and  recreation  center  projects  are  trying  to  dispel  what  they  said  is  a  misperception  that  the  current  mu-­ nicipal  gym  could  be  upgraded  at  a  bargain  at  its  present  location  at  94  Main  St. Project  architect  Chris  Huston Â

of  Bread  Loaf  Corp.  pointed  to  as-­ sertions  made  by  some  residents  at  public  meetings  that  the  municipal  gym  could  be  adequately  upgraded  for  around  $548,500,  and  that  the  community  could  then  rebuild  mod-­ HVW WRZQ RI¿FHV QH[W WR D UHQRYDWHG gym.

That  $500,000  assertion,  Huston  said,  is  based  largely  on  the  work  of  a  municipal  gym  task  force  or-­ ganized  by  then-­Middlebury  Town  Manager  Bill  Finger  in  2012.  That  budget,  according  to  Huston,  includ-­ ed  such  items  as  window  replace-­

ments,  a  new  heating/air  cooling  system,  basic  restrooms  and  lockers,  a  security  system,  exterior  painting  and  rebuilding  of  the  outside  stair-­ way  facing  College  Street. “(The  task  force)  was  created  as  a  way  to  create  central  renovations  to  the  gym  as  a  stop-­gap  measure  while  in  the  context  of  thinking  about  the  WRZQ RIÂżFH SURMHFW DV VRPHWKLQJ that  could  happen  in  the  future,â€?  Huston  said.

He  added  the  town  commis-­ sioned  two  studies  on  the  building  in  conjunction  with  the  gym  task Â

No  ACSU  school  consolidation  for  now *RYHUQDQFH FRPPLWWHH UHSRUW ¿QDOL]HG By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  The  Addison  Central  Supervisory  Union  will  not  go  through  a  formal  process  to  con-­ solidate  its  schools  or  governance  structure  —  at  least  for  now.

By  JOHN  FLOWERS WHITING  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  In  a  discussion  of  public  education  reforms  at  this  past  Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Legislative  Break-­ fast  in  Whiting,  Rep.  Willem  Jewett  said  the  House  Education  Commit-­ tee  has  been  considering  initiatives  aimed  at  making  public  schools  PRUH HIÂżFLHQW DQG DIIRUGDEOH The  Ripton  Democrat  said  the  committee  has  noted  that  Ver-­ montâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  public  education  system  is  top-­heavy  with  administration,  thus  adding  to  costs.  And  many  Vermont  superintendents  have  to  spread  themselves  thin,  given  the  number  of  rural  school  districts  (each  with  a  board  of  directors)  to  which  the  superintendent  must  be  accountable.  That  results  in  quick  burnout,  Jewett  said,  which  has  created  16  superintendent  vacan-­ cies  (of  a  total  of  64)  in  Vermont  so  far  this  year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  number  of  students  con-­ tinues  to  decline,â&#x20AC;?  Jewett  added.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;How  do  we  provide  quality  of  education  going  forward?â&#x20AC;?

Lawmakers  continue  to  explore  the  idea  of  reducing  the  number  of  supervisory  unions  in  Vermont  (and  therefore  the  number  of  school  administrators),  but  several  participants  at  Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  breakfast  said  they  werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  keen  on  consoli-­ dating  education  governance  or  closing  schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One  of  the  things  you  have  to  remember  is  the  connection  people  have  with  their  schools,â&#x20AC;?  Middle-­ bury  resident  Steve  Gross  said.  He  said  most  urban  areas  have  lost  that  connection.

Whiting  School  Board  member  Carol  Brigham  agreed.  Her  daugh-­ ter,  Amanda,  was  the  plaintiff  in  a  lawsuit  that  led  to  the  creation  of  $FW WKH VWDWHÂśV HGXFDWLRQ Âż-­ nance  law,  17  years  ago.  She  said  her  daughter,  now  an  adult,  has  moved  to  Philadelphia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  slowness  and  thoughtful-­ ness  is  important,â&#x20AC;?  she  said  of  local  school  bureaucracies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  conversation  is  big,â&#x20AC;?  she  added  of  the  topic  of  education  consolidation.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  conversation  that  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  only  happen  in  Montpe-­ lier.â&#x20AC;?

Rutland  Northeast  Supervisory  Union  Superintendent  John  Castle  was  at  Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  meeting.  He  said  that  while  the  current  education  bureaucracy  means  more  work  for  him,  he  is  not  a  fan  of  consolida-­ tion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  are  the  model  and  envy  of  the  rest  of  the  country,â&#x20AC;?  he  said  of  the  current  system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Centralized  bureaucracies  tend  to  grow  over  time,â&#x20AC;?  he  added.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  have  a  challenging  model,  but  a  healthy  model.â&#x20AC;?

Committee  members  were  faced  with  the  weighty  task  of  proposing  articles  dealing  with  school  closures  and  school  board  membership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  were  headed  in  that  direction,  but  there  was  a  road  block,â&#x20AC;?  Punder-­ son  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  agree  as  a  committee  on  what  those  articles  would  look  like.â&#x20AC;?

He  explained  that  representatives  of  the  smaller  elementary  schools  voiced  concerns  that  a  new,  con-­ solidated  board  of  directors  might  be  more  representative  of  the  larger  elementary  schools  and  work  toward  closing  the  smallest  schools.  Repre-­ sentatives  of  the  largest  school  (Mid-­ dleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Mary  Hogan  Elementary)  were  concerned  â&#x20AC;&#x153;that  Middlebury  residents  would  face  higher  tax  rates  should  ACSU  schools  consolidate  in  governance  and  not  in  structure,  meaning  that  Middlebury  may  be  re-­ TXLUHG WR SD\ IRU WKH ODFN RI HIÂżFLHQ-­ cies  of  scale  present  in  the  operation  of  small  schools.â&#x20AC;?

So  the  committee  decided  to  gen-­ erate  a  more  limited  report  outlining  possible  next  steps  in  the  RED  dis-­ cussion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  decided  that  bringing  the  RED  proposal  to  a  public  vote  could  be  divisive  for  our  school  boards  and  towns,  and  harmful  to  community  support  for  our  schools  as  well  as  the  fragile  cohesion  within  the  ACSU  leadership,â&#x20AC;?  the  report  states.

RECOMMENDATIONS The  committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  16-­page  report  includes  four  recommendations  and  much  data  that  members  believe  will  serve  the  ACSU  well  into  the  future.  Those  recommendations  include: Â&#x2021; 1R YRWH RQ 5(' DUWLFOHV RI agreement  at  this  time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  committee  asserts  that  more  work  is  required  by  our  new  (ACSU)  Superintendent  (Peter  Burrows),  school  boards  and  communities  before  a  comprehensive  plan  for  a  change  in  our  governance  structure  can  be  considered,â&#x20AC;?  reads  the  report.

Punderson  stressed  that  the  ACSU  Study  Committee  report  does  not  suggest  that  the  door  has  been  closed  on  future  consolidation  opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  want  to  have  this  (discussion)  continue,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  tonight  to  be  the  last  time  you  hear  about  a  RED.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  do  hope  this  (ACSU)  board  uses  this  report,â&#x20AC;?  said  ID-­4  board  Chairwoman  Ruth  Hardy,  who  helped  compile  the  document. $&68 RIÂżFLDOV SURPLVHG WKH UH-­ port  would  not  collect  dust  on  a  shelf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  want  to  use  this  data  to  take  actionable  steps,â&#x20AC;?  Burrows  said.

Cheaper  natural  gas  would  be  a  cost  saver  for  business  and  residen-­ tial  users,  but  would  also  present  some  environmental  concerns,  ac-­ cording  to  Seeley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For  me,  there  is  strong  evidence  on  either  side  of  the  issue,  and  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  having  a  hard  time  making  a  deci-­ sion,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.

Our  names  are  Diesel  and  Turbo  LaDuc.  We  are  basset  hounds.  Brother  Diesel  was  born  on  Sept.  29  and  Turbo  on  June  9.  Our  mom  and  dad  are  Timothy  LaDuc  and  Penney  Patterson.  We  are  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  boys.â&#x20AC;?

Grandma  LaDuc  takes  care  of  us  on  days  when  Mom  and  Dad  are  at  work.  We  just  love  each  other.  We  are  together  all  the  time  and  do  get  in  trouble  sometimes.

When  we  sleep  in  Grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  chair  we  have  to  be  together.

We  are  loved  by  everyone.
