Letters to the Editor 0LGGOHEXU\ SDUDGH PDUUHG E\ PRWRULVWÂśV VHOÂżVKQHVV The  Memorial  Day  parade  in  Middlebury  was  delightful,  as  always.  However,  it  was  slightly  marred  for  those  of  us  sitting  in  front  of  the  library  by  the  woman  who  parked  a  white  van  right  where  the  parade  route  turns  off  the  roundabout,  which  blocked  our  seeing  the  parade  participants Â
coming  down  the  road  and  round  the  roundabout,  and  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  it  seemed  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  caused  some  of  the  entries  to  have  to  move  further  to  the  left  to  avoid  the  van.  This  was  the  only  vehicle  on  Main  Street  (there  were  other  parking  places  in  front  of  the  library  but  it  would  never  have  occurred  to  us  to  park  on  the Â
route  like  that). This  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  seem  to  be  in  keep- ing  with  the  Middlebury  spirit  of  neighborly  cooperation  and  fair  play  and  I  would  hope  that  next  year  it  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  allowed. Sheila  Khalladeh East  Middlebury

Mount Abraham Union High School is proud to call Hannah Jackman (nickname: Handog!) of Monkton its Student of the Week. Hannahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother Sam Jackman is in eighth grade. Her twin half-brother and -sister are entering kindergarten next year. Hannah has made honor roll throughout high school. She was inducted to the National Honor Society her junior year and is the Bristol Food Shelf Coordinator for that organization. She received the Clarkson Achievement Award last year for academic excellence in math and science. Junior year, she took AP biology and this year she is taking AP English and AP Calculus. She has also taken courses on Virtual High School and Personalized Learning courses through the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pathways program. This semester, she took a Licensed Nursing Assistant program at Hannaford Career Center. In 10th grade, Hannah was very involved with the Vermont Teen Leadership Club at Mt. Abe. As an underclassman, she was also an active member in the chorus. She has helped with planning the Winter Ball 2012, Prom 2013, and Project Graduation 2014. She is a member of the Mount Abe Community Service Club. Hannah has been working at Mary Johnson Children Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bristol After School Program and Summer Program for the past two years. This summer she will be working as an LNA. She also volunteer frequently. She is a missionary for her church, Community Alliance Church. She has been on two missions trips Hannah  Jackman to the Dominican Republic. M.A.U.H.S. Outside of school, Hannah works a lot, but she says she likes to. She says not only does she have close relationships with the kids at her job, but also it feels good to not be dependent money-wise on her parents. Working for what she wants, she says, is the most important thing her parents have taught her. Hannah admits that high school has been stressful, but adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also opened up so many doors for myself by not being afraid to go out there and get what I want. â&#x20AC;Ś So many teenagers block themselves from succeeding because they are afraid of being judged or want to do what everyone else is doing. â&#x20AC;Ś Be the person that asks questions, be the person who is nice even when they have no reason to be, be the person that goes out there and follows their dreams so that when you graduate, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any regrets.â&#x20AC;? Next year, Hannah will attend the University of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Nursing. She plans to pursue a four-year degree in professional nursing and then journey on to a two-year physician assistant school. Her ultimate goal is to work as a pediatric physician assistant at a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital. According to one of Hannahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hannah is an engaging and motivated young woman. She is a natural helper who is always concerned ZLWK WKH QHHGV RI RWKHUV 6KH GLVSOD\V WHQDFLW\ GHWHUPLQDWLRQ DQG JULW TXDOLWLHV WKDW ZLOO HQVXUH KHU VXFFHVV LQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;HOG RI KHDOWK FDUH Âľ All in the Mt.

FERRISBURGH — Rokeby is of- fering an exhibit of Rachael Robinson Elmer’s unique New York postcards. These ground-breaking “Art Lovers New York” postcards are 100 years old this year and are still beautiful and historically important. An exhibit presenting the cards and their impact opens at Rokeby Museum on Sunday, June 15, with a presentation on Ra- chael’s life and achievements at 3 p.m. Rachael Robinson Elmer changed the world of American postcards a century ago by producing her stun- ning Impressionist paintings of popu- lar scenes in her beloved New York as postcards. Published by P.F. Vol- land in 1914, the “Art Lover’s New York” cards were immediately copied by dozens of artists in New York and elsewhere. This exhibit presents all 12 cards, the three London postcards that inspired Rachael, her working sketches, newspaper coverage, and biographical background. Full sets of these scarce and now highly collect- ible cards are rarely seen. The exhibit also includes a surprise — a previ- ously unknown painting for an unpub-
lished 13th card. 3DXO 9ROODQG UHMHFWHG RQH RI WKH ¿UVW eight paintings Rachael proposed — a sunny, springtime view of New York City Hall with the (then) brand new Municipal Building towering up be- hind it. The painting remains in Roke- by’s collection and will be exhibited IRU WKH ¿UVW WLPH Rachael Robinson Elmer was born at Rokeby to artist parents Rowland and Anna Robinson in 1878. Her art education began as a child and contin- ued with a young people’s summer art program in New York City and later, at the Art Students League. She moved to New York as a young woman and commenced a successful career as a graphic artist. Rachael married busi- nessman Robert Elmer in 1911 and died prematurely in February 1919 in WKH 6SDQLVK ÀX HSLGHPLF )RU PRUH LQ- formation, call 802-877-3406 or visit www.rokeby.org. The end of the school year is fast approaching and our local schools are EXV\ ¿QLVKLQJ ZLWK FRXUVH ZRUN DQG planning many ceremonies and events. Both Ferrisburgh and Vergennes are
honoring their graduates and we con- gratulate the Ferrisburgh students who are moving on to new adventures. Ver- gennes Union High School’s gradua- tion ceremony is on Friday, June 6, at 6 p.m. The Vergennes Union Middle School eighth-grade graduation cere- mony will be held during the morning of the last day of classes. For details on graduation and other school events see the school’s web- site at www.vuhs.org. Proud friends and family will also be able to view the VUHS graduation ceremony on RETN Channel 16 on Comcast and Burlington Telecom. Tune in begin- ning Wednesday, June 11, at 8 p.m. and again on Saturday, June 14, at 1 p.m. or view it online at www.retn. org/VUHS2014. For the end-of-the-year events at the Ferrisburgh Central School, see the website at www.anwsu.org/fcs. Sever- al events have been scheduled for the end of May and early June, such as the sixth-grade Canada trip, the traditional picnic for families and volunteers, and a meet-and-greet for incoming kinder- garten families. The Step Up Night for
the graduating sixth-grade students will be held on Thursday, June 12, at 7 p.m. The last day of school is Tuesday, June 10, with students being dismissed at 11:30 a.m. Many best wishes to our Ferrisburgh students as they head off to middle school next fall! We con- gratulate all our Ferrisburgh students for their energy, academic achieve- ments and contributions to our town. The Ferrisburgh Grange’s King Pede card parties are scheduled for the Saturdays of June 14 and 28. These evening get-togethers are held at the Ferrisburgh Community Center and Town Hall and begin at 6:30 p.m. with a sandwich supper and then on to an evening of fun and card games. Come and play King Pede, or, for those who enjoy other types of games, bring your Scrabble or cribbage boards. The monthly business meeting will be held on Saturday, June 14, at 2 p.m. The Grange is inviting new members to join so if you are interested, call Weston Spooner at 877-2827. The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum is open and the season is in
full swing. Of particular note is the 2014 tour of the Lois McClure. On WKH WK DQQLYHUVDU\ RI WKH ¿QDO \HDU of the War of 1812, Lois McClure’s 2014 tour will focus on the historic land and sea British invasion of the U.S. through Lake Champlain. The museum will bring this important and dynamic story to communities on Lake Champlain and the Hudson and Richelieu Rivers. This anniversary allows an oppor- tunity to share the story of the mili- tary contest for Lake Champlain and Macdonough’s Victory on Sept. 11, 1814. The battle helped determine the outcome of the war and the 2014 tour will visit communities along the Richelieu River, Lake Champlain and the Hudson River to New York City. In addition to concluding the War of 1812 trilogy, the 2014 program will carry information about environmen- tal stewardship and the incredible his- toric canal system that is still opera- tional today. For the schedule of the tour of Lois McClure and all the activities, please visit their website at www.lcmm.org.
