“Babes,â€?  still  run  the  downtown  Du-­ luth  branch  and  later  this  summer  I  plan  on  sitting  at  a  table  there  to  sat-­ isfy  the  craving  that  is  growing  more  palpable  by  the  minute. My  trip  home  is  prompted  by  a  mini-­reunion  with  my  dad,  sister  and  brother.  I  love  them  dearly  and  can’t  wait  to  see  them,  but  what  I  really  want  is  some  Sammy’s  pizza.

Regarding  the  Public  Service  Board  meeting  in  Middlebury  on  June  12: I  am  today  introducing  a  new  word  to  the  vocabulary  of  this  dialogue:  â€œcapitOlism.â€? Capitolism  is  the  process  and  condition  whereby  agencies  of  government,  whether  representing  the  national  Capitol  and  govern-­ ment  or  state  Capitol  and  govern-­ ment  are  united  as  one  with  the  agents  of  capital  and  commerce. These  government  agencies  and  agents  â€”  facilitators  of  unlim-­ ited  economic  and  environmental  encroachments  â€”  are  typically  appointed  by  someone  in  power.  7KH\ RIÂżFLDOO\ UHSUHVHQW QR RQH and  are  accountable  to  no  one. When  it  comes  to  the  actual  im-­ plementation  and  enforcement  of  our  founding  principles,  our  laws  and  our  visions  for  the  future,  we  are  rendered  absolutely  powerless  by  these  unelected,  unaccountable,  unrepresentative  agencies. Rather  than  guardians  of  the  public  good,  for  which  they  are  designated,  they  become  facilita-­ tors  of  unlimited  economic  and  environmental  encroachments,  now  with  the  blessings  of  the  Su-­ preme  Court  in  the  Citizens  United  UXOLQJ :H KDYH RIÂżFLDOO\ PRYHG from  â€œone  citizen,  one  vote,â€?  to  â€œone  dollar,  one  vote.â€?

about  running  a  pipe  through  someone’s  back  yard  in  Shoreham  or  Cornwall.  This  is  about  control  of  our  destiny  and  our  quality  of  life. We  are  gathered  here  today,  not  simply  to  halt  an  absolutely  intolerable  violation  of  the  sov-­ ereignty  and  dignity  of  the  good  citizens  of  Vermont.  We  are  here  to  declare  today  that  any  law  or  the  interpretation  and  applica-­ tion  of  any  law  that  violates  the  founding  principles  of  this  great  republic  of  Vermont,  and  these  United  States,  shall  not  be  toler-­ ated.  Any  agency  facilitating  the  perversion  of  our  principles  shall  be  disbanded  or  reduced  to  simple  advisory  function.  We,  all  here  today,  have  a  moral  responsibil-­ ity  to  honor  the  principles  and  preserve  the  achievements  that  our  fathers  so  nobly  fought  and  paid  for,  including  the  cultural  and  moral  landscape,  to  truly  serve  the Â

public  good. In  1786,  just  three  years  after  our  independence,  this  country  was  facing  a  virtual  collapse  of  its  economy  and  loss  of  true  sover-­ eignty  due  to  a  grossly  inadequate  body  of  laws  (the  Articles  of  Confederation)  and  the  growing  encroachment  of  foreign  capital.  As  a  response,  a  few  enlightened  visionaries  called  for,  and  I  quote,  â€œan  end  to  this  national  hu-­ miliation  and  imbecility.â€?  A  new  Constitution  was  called  for  with  the  primary  purpose  of  â€œregulating  commerce  and  trade.â€? Let  us  once  again,  in  â€œthe  Spirit  of  86,â€?  reform  our  relevant  laws  and  the  agencies  of  implementa-­ tion  to  once  again  achieve  their  proclaimed  function  of  serving  the  public  good,  for  ourselves  and  our  posterity.  Rustan  Swenson Shoreham

Porch from the past THE WRAPAROUND PORCH at Chimney Point State Historic Site in Addison was added long ago to accommodate summer resort guests, as seen in this vintage image. Historic preservationist and author Thomas Durant Visser will give an illustrated lecture, titled “History of North American Porches,” at Chimney Point on Wednesday, June 25, at 7 p.m., with refreshments to follow — appropriately — on the porch.

A Space They Can Praise Praise to our public school teachers in their everyday rooms. Privacy isn’t the rule. We can look in to a period’s lesson. A question mark and semi-colon. An art to learn how to use. Praise to those children of theirs, their mothers and fathers, the bus drivers and grandmothers who drive them to school. A custodian who takes care. Did I call them their children? Every day they are needed to be more than a teacher or coach. Love’s librarian. Someone who isn’t clock-watching. Who can sing like a bell, at the end of the school year. Who can stack chairs. Who can circle desks. Who can pronounce a neighborhood from around the world. Praise to how they’ve taught them to learn. To say each other’s names. To know when to place a comma between words. When to leave a space they can praise. Gary Margolis Cornwall

Nuovo,  the  other  Addison-­1  in-­ cumbent,  has  served  a  combined  to-­ tal  of  27  years  in  the  House.  Donna  Donahue  is  the  former  leader  of  the  Better  Middlebury  Partnership  and  has  been  vocal  about  economic  development  is-­ sues,  in  particular.  Amy  Sheldon,  an  environmental  consultant,  has  also  been  endorsed  by  the  Progressive  Party  and  will  have  an  opportunity  to  run  under  that  banner  in  the  General  Election  if  she  loses  in  the  primary. “I  read  their  platform  and  found  that  our  priorities  overlapped  and  so  I  accepted  their  nomination,â€?  Shel-­ don  said.  â€œIt  is  a  way  to  let  voters  know  where  I  stand  on  some  of  the  issues,  in  particular  health  care  and  the  environment,  although  other  parts  of  their  platform  also  resonate  for  me.â€? McEathron  is  a  Middlebury  Col-­ lege  student,  and  Hughes  is  a  former  UD-­3  board  member  who  manages  the  Crown  Point  State  Historic  Site  IRU WKH 1HZ <RUN 6WDWH 2IÂżFH RI Parks,  Recreation  &  Historic  Pres-­ ervation.  The  Independent  has  inter-­ viewed  all  of  the  challengers  except  +XJKHV ZKR ZLOO EH SURÂżOHG LQ DQ upcoming  article.

ADDISON-­3 Incumbent  Reps.  Diane  Lan-­ pher,  D-­Vergennes,  and  Warren Â

Van  Wyck,  R-­Ferrisburgh,  are  both  seeking  to  retain  their  two  seats  representing  Addison,  Ferrisburgh,  Panton,  Vergennes  and  Waltham.  They  are  being  joined  in  the  race  by  Addison  Democrat  John  Spencer,  who  has  served  his  town  in  various  elected  positions  and  worked  for  several  decades  selling  farm  imple-­ ments  and  agricultural  products. There  is  no  second  Republican  candidate  running  in  the  district,  which  has  historically  been  a  GOP  stronghold. “Several  folks  were  interested,  but  it  was  tough  to  get  someone  to  cross  the  line  and  do  it,â€?  Young  said.  â€œWe  ran  into  several  people  who  had  the  interest,  but  not  the  availability.  There  is  an  increasing  sense  (among  candidates)  that  the  Legislature  is  becoming  a  full-­time  job,  and  that  deters  some  folks.â€? Gov.  Peter  Shumlin  appointed  Van  Wyck  to  an  Addison-­3  seat  in  January  of  2012,  following  the  trag-­ ic  death  of  incumbent  Greg  Clark,  R-­Vergennes.  Van  Wyck  served  this  past  biennium  on  the  House  Com-­ mittee  on  General,  Housing  and  Military  Affairs  Committee. Lanpher  is  seeking  her  fourth  consecutive  two-­year  term  in  the  House,  where  she  has  served  her  entire  tenure  on  the  Transportation  Committee. ADDISON-­4 Incumbent  Reps.  Dave  Sharpe,  D-­Bristol,  and  Mike  Fisher,  D-­ Lincoln,  are  again  running  for  re-­ election  for  the  two  seats  represent-­ ing  Bristol,  Lincoln,  Monkton  and  Starksboro.  They  face  competition  this  year  from  Republicans  Fred  Baser  of  Bristol  and  Valerie  Mullin  of  Monkton. Sharpe  is  seeking  his  seventh  consecutive  two-­year  term  in  the  House,  while  Fisher  is  vying  for  his  eighth.  Sharpe  is  a  senior  member  of  the  House  Ways  and  Means  Com-­ mittee,  while  Fisher  is  chairman  of  the  House  Health  Care  Committee. %DVHU LV D ORQJWLPH ÂżQDQFLDO planner  and  former  Bristol  select-­ man  who  has  competed  in  the  past  for  an  Addison-­4  seat.  Mullin  is  a  EXVLQHVVSHUVRQ PDNLQJ KHU ÂżUVW UXQ IRU WKH +RXVH 7KH *23 LV ÂżHOGLQJ a  full  slate  in  Addison-­4  after  hav-­ ing  not  run  a  candidate  in  the  dis-­ trict  in  2012.  The  Independent  has  GRQH FDQGLGDWH SURÂżOHV RI %DVHU DQG Mullin.

(Continued  from  Page  1A) all  the  lessons  that  these  experiences  taught  us:   How  it  feels  to  come  to-­ gether  as  a  class  to  accomplish  some-­ thing  great.   The  importance  of  help-­ ing  others  in  need.   What  it  means  to  be  a  friend.â€? Shashok,  an  accomplished  trum-­ peter,  compared  the  MUHS  commu-­ nity  to  a  musical  composition. “The  best  joy  of  music  lies  not  in  the  listening,  but  in  the  creating,  and  our  class  of  2014  has  made  a  beauti-­ ful  melody  over  the  past  four  years,â€?  he  said. That  was  no  small  compliment,  since  he  called  music  â€œhumanity’s  greatest  gift.â€?  And  the  East  Middle-­ EXU\ UHVLGHQW GHÂżQHG PXVLF UDWKHU broadly. “When  we  cheered  on  our  peers  in  the  student  basketball  game,  that  was  music,â€?  Shashok  said.  â€œWhen  we  ran  through  the  halls  with  vuvuzelas  and  war  cries,  causing  as  much  racket  as  possible,  that  was  music!  Nathalie  Ingersoll’s  laugh,  Kiera  Kirkaldy’s  sneezes,  Jonah  Lefkoe’s  speech-­voice,  and  every  hello  in  the  halls  is  music.â€? For  Howlett,  excitement  was  mixed  with  nostalgia  and  just  a  touch  of  regret  at  leaving. “No  matter  where  we  are  going  next  year  or  in  the  lifetimes  to  come,  we  will  never  again  be  Middlebury  Union  High  School  students.  For  me,  at  least,  that’s  sad,â€?  said  Howlett,  of  Cornwall. After  polling  the  crowd  to  see  how  many  of  the  friends  and  family  had  themselves  graduated  from  MUHS  in  years  past  (there  were  many),  Howlett  said  that  many  of  her  fellow  classmates  would  continue  to  have  a  relationship  with  the  school.  And  she  speculated  that  a  surprising  number  would  be  back  for  future  commence-­ ment  ceremonies. “Even  scarier,  maybe  we  will  be  the  proud  parents  of  the  class  of  2040!â€?  she  said.  â€œAnd,  if  you  look  far  enough  ahead,  maybe  someday  we  will  sit  our  grandchildren,  class  of  2070,  on  our  knees  and  mumble,  â€˜Ah,  high  school.  Those  were  the  days!’  and  reminisce  through  our  electronic  dentures.â€?  She  noted,  â€œIt  seems  like  no  graduate  can  really  leave  without  dropping  by  to  say  hello  again,  and Â

(Continued  from  Page  1A) good  job  organizing  this  event.â€? Behind  the  scenes,  Sheldon  Museum  Executive  Director  Bill  Brooks  and  the  14  members  of  the  event’s  organizing  committee  busily  prepare  for  months  preceding  the  concert.  Work  on  this  month’s  show  started  in  November  of  last  year,  with  volunteers  responsible  IRU DOO RI WKH VLJQLÂżFDQW SUHSDUDWLRQV necessary  for  what  Brooks  describes  as  a  â€œfun  and  festive  evening.â€? Brooks,  a  resident  of  New  Ha-­ ven,  has  been  heading  the  planning  and  preparation  for  the  annual  Pops  Concert  since  he  returned  to  Addison  County  to  head  the  museum  two  years  ago,  and  he  commends  the  organiz-­ ing  team  and  the  generous  spirit  of  the  town.  â€œIt’s  easy  to  get  volunteers,â€?  he  said.  â€œMiddlebury  is  a  very  giving  commu-­ nity.â€?  Middlebury  College,  for  its  part,  do-­ nates  access  to  the  location  next  to  the  DWKOHWLF ÂżHOGV RIIHUV VHWXS DVVLVWDQFH and  provides  security  for  the  event.  â€œWe  couldn’t  do  this  without  the  partnership  with  Middlebury  College,â€?  Brooks  said. Longtime  volunteer  Adele  Pierce  of  Middlebury  also  expressed  apprecia-­ tion  of  the  college  and  its  willingness  to  accommodate  the  event  regardless  of  the  weather  â€”  Middlebury  College  has  hosted  the  performance  in  Nelson  Arena  when  rain  otherwise  would  have  washed  out  the  fun  time.  â€œMiddlebury  College  has  been  so  wonderful  and  cooperative  that  we’ve  never  had  to  worry  about  going  in-­ doors,â€?  Pierce  said.  â€œIt’s  a  lot  of  fun  inside  anyway.â€?  Pierce  has  been  volunteering  since  WKH ÂżUVW SRSV FRQFHUW \HDUV DJR 6KH was  the  head  organizer  for  many  years,  until  she  stepped  back  from  that  leader-­ ship  role  about  six  years  ago.  She  now  helps  to  secure  individual  sponsors  in  order  to  help  underwrite  the  costs  of  the  orchestra,  tent  rental,  sound  sys-­ tem,  advertising  fees  and  other  assort-­ ed  costs  that  come  along  with  staging  a  once-­a-­year  outdoor  concert.  â€œA  lot  of  the  credit  should  go  to  a  lot  of  different  people,â€?  Pierce  said  of  the  committee’s  collaborative  efforts.  Pierce  said  that  volunteering  is  still  very  rewarding  to  her,  and  that  she  is  pleased  that  the  event  is  always  both  a Â

Then  Moulton  grabbed  a  soprano  saxophone,  Shashok  took  up  his  trumpet,  and  the  duo  performed  â€œJazz  Policeâ€?  by  Gordon  Goodwin.  Both  Moulton  and  Shashok  were  in  the  MUHS  concert  and  jazz  bands,  and  their  performance  was  met  with  enthusiastic  applause. Howlett  will  continue  her  educa-­ tion  at  Princeton  University,  while  Lefkoe  and  Moulton  will  attend  Har-­ vard  University  and  Shashok  will  study  at  Tufts  University.

The  Barre-­based  Vermont  Philhar-­ monic  Orchestra,  which  will  be  play-­ ing  at  this  year’s  concert,  is  the  state’s  oldest  community  orchestra  and  fea-­ tures  approximately  60  musicians.  Director  Louis  Kosma  has  a  solid Â

resume  both  behind  the  conductor’s  podium  and  in  front  of  it.  When  he  is  not  working  with  the  Vermont  Philhar-­ monic,  Kosma  plays  double  bass  with  the  Metropolitan  Opera  Orchestra,  and  he  teaches  privately  and  as  an  adjunct  double  bass  instructor  at  New  Jersey  City  University.  This  year,  soprano  Michele  Bolduc  of  Montreal  will  ac-­ company  the  orchestra  in  the  Broad-­ way-­style  program.  Part  of  the  Sheldon  Museum  Pops  Concert’s  success  may  be  attributed  to  its  broad  appeal  to  people  of  all  ages  and  interests,  suggested  Middlebury  resident  Joyce  Heath,  another  of  the  event’s  volunteers. “It’s  nice  to  go  for  a  picnic  prior  to  the  concert,  and  the  acoustics  are  won-­ derful.  The  orchestra  is  very  good.  It’s  always  a  very  pleasant  experience  for  everyone,â€?  she  said. Tickets  are  $20  for  adults,  $10  for  youth  ages  12-­18,  and  may  be  pur-­ chased  by  phone  at  388-­2117,  online  at  www.henrysheldonmuseum.org  or  in  person  at  the  Sheldon,  1  Park  St.  in  Middlebury.  Children  younger  than  12  are  admitted  free.  The  week  before  the  concert,  tickets  increase  to  $25.  The  grounds  open  at  5:30  p.m.  and  the  concert  begins  at  S P $ KDOI KRXU ÂżUHZRUNV VKRZ in  honor  of  Independence  Day  follows  the  show  after  sunset.

Pocock Rocks

What’s  up  with  Bristol’s  bash? By  ZACH  DESPART BRISTOL  â€”  Organizers  of  Bristol’s  sixth  annual  Pocock  Rocks  festival  say  this  Saturday’s  event  should  be  a  blast. “We’ve  got  great  food,  music  on  two  stages,  it’s  going  to  be  a  lot  of  fun,â€?  said  Kate  Selby,  executive  director  of  the  Bristol  Downtown  Community  Partnership.  7KH HYHQW ZKLFK IDOOV RQ WKH ÂżUVW day  of  summer,  will  run  from  3-­8  p.m.  on  Bristol’s  Main  Street,  and  feature  more  than  20  vendors.  The  food  vendors  signed  up  include  Will’s  Lemonade,  Aqua  Vitea  Kombucha,  Rainbow  Ice,  Lazy  Farmer  and  Mo’s  Backyard  Barbeque. Organizers  will  close  Main  Street  from  the  intersection  with  the  stoplight  to  the  National  Bank  of  Middlebury  for  the  duration  of  the  event  so  that  festivalgoers  can  stroll  along  the  street  among  the  various  activities  and  vendors.  There  will  be  a  musical  stage  set  up  at  either  end  of  the  street  with  continuous  performances  throughout  the  afternoon  and  into  the  evening. Musical  acts  include  Abby  Jenne,  BandAnna,  Lynda  Malzac,  Patrick  Fitzsimmons  and  Waylon  Speed.  The  band  Gang  of  Thieves  will  start  WKH ÂżQDO SHUIRUPDQFH RI WKH HYHQLQJ beginning  at  7:15  p.m.  Many  of  the  PXVLFLDQV KDYH WLHV WR WKH ÂżYH WRZQ area. Âł:HÂśUH JRLQJ WR ÂżOO WKH VWUHHW ´ Selby  said. The  festival  will  include  children’s  games,  a  silent  auction  and  demon-­ strations  by  blacksmith  Lee  Beckwith.  Look  for  a  bounce  house  for  the  kids  and  a  football  toss  (Nerf)  for  every-­ body.  If  you  are  of  a  mind,  there  will  be  face  painting.

A  DRUMMER  TAPS  out  the  beat  during  a  performance  at  the  third  Po-­ cock  Rocks  festival.  Stages  will  be  set  up  at  either  end  of  Bristol’s  Main  Street  this  Saturday  with  continuous  musical  performances. ,QGHSHQGHQW ÂżOH SKRWR $QGUHZ 6WHLQ

Also  on  hand  will  be  Vermont  Victory  Greenhouses,  Vermont  Skydiving  Adventures,  soap  manufac-­ turer  Dorset  Daughters,  henna  body  artists  Maple  Mehndi,  face  painters  from  Vermont  Face  and  Beauty,  jewel-­ ers  Wear  It  Well,  and  a  new  business  called  Yarn  and  Yoga,  a  yarn  retailer  and  yoga  studio. For  the  age  21-­and-­over  crowd,  four  vendors  will  sell  alcohol  â€”  Shoreham-­ based  WhistlePig,  the  Burlington  Beer  Co.,  Fiddlehead  Brewing  Co.  of  Shelburne,  and  Champlain  Orchards  of  Shoreham,  which  will  be  selling  its  hard  cider. 1RQSURÂżWV LQFOXGLQJ :DWHUVKHG Center,  Mountain  Health  Center  and  Five  Town  Drug  and  Safety  Alliance  will  also  be  on  hand. Early  this  week  Selby  said  she  is  still  looking  for  a  few  more  volunteers  to  help  staff  booths  when  vendors Â

need  a  break,  though  she  had  a  good  crew  signed  up  to  set  up  and  tear  down  the  event. “Our  biggest  need  is  volunteers,  to  make  sure  it’s  a  successful  day,â€?  she  said.  â€œWe  just  need  a  few  more,  and  mostly  during  the  day.â€? She  held  out  Pocock  merchandise  to  tempt  those  last  few  volunteers  needed. “It’s  never  too  late  to  get  your  own  vintage  Pocock  T-­shirt,â€?  Selby  said. Organizers  estimate  that  the  festival  has  drawn  upwards  of  1,200  people  in  years  past  and  they  hope  to  at  least  meet  that  number  this  time. (See  Pocock  on  next  page)

About  two-­thirds  of  Vergennes  homeowners  were  eligible  for  re-­ bates  in  the  most  recent  year  for  which  data  is  available.
